Objective To introduce the causes of accidents and the diagnosis and treatment of two patients with radiation-induced skin injury admitted to our hospital in 2023, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of subsequent radiation-induced skin injury. Methods The clinical treatment process of two patients with acute skin injury caused by external radiation exposure were summarized and analyzed. Results The exposure history of the two patients was reconstructed, the flaw detection scenario was simulated, the biological dose and hand skin exposure dose were estimated, and the infrared thermal imaging device was used for dynamic monitoring. A comprehensive analysis was conducted based on clinical manifestations and other data. The diagnosis of “Xie” was excessive exposure combined with acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade IV for the right hand palm, index finger, and middle finger and Grade II for the left hand little finger). The diagnosis of “Hao” was acute radiation-induced skin injury on both hands (Grade I). The two patients received different clinical treatment measures: “Xie” was treated with both local and systemic therapies, while “Hao” was mainly treated with systemic therapy. Conclusion After systematic and effective treatment, the radiation-induced skin injuries healed in both patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of Tangzhi formula（TZF） on improving glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） rats.METHODS Thirty SPF-grade SD rats were used to establish a T2DM rat model through high-fat diet feeding combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. After successful modeling， the rats were divided into the model group， metformin group （positive control， 0.18 g/kg）， and TZF low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （5， 10， and 20 g/kg）， with 6 rats in each group. An additional 6 rats were selected as the blank group. The rats in each group were orally administered the corresponding volume of drug solution or saline， and continuous dosing was performed for 6 weeks， once daily. Fasting blood glucose （FBG）， area under the curve of oral glucose tolerance test （OGTT-AUC）， area under the curve of intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test （IPITT-AUC）， serum total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） levels were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and oil red O staining were used to observe hepatic pathological morphology and lipid deposition. Differentially expressed proteins in liver tissues were screened by proteomics analysis， and key proteins in signaling pathways were verified by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining.RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the levels of FBG， OGTT-AUC， IPITT-AUC， LDL-C， TG， and TC in the model group were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）， while HDL-C level was significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）； the liver tissues showed disordered hepatic cords， punctate necrosis of hepatocytes， and significant lipid deposition， the NAFLD activity score and positive area of lipid droplets were significantly increased（ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the above indicators in TZF low-， medium-， and high-dose groups and metformin group were significantly reversed （ P ＜0.05）； hepatic pathological injury and lipid deposition were alleviated. Proteomics results showed that a total of 442 differentially expressed proteins were screened between the model group and the blank group， and 358 differentially expressed proteins were screened between the TZF high-dose group and the model group. Among these differentially expressed proteins， multiple proteins closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism showed a reversal trend after TZF intervention. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor （PPAR） signaling pathway was significantly enriched. The validation experiment results showed that TZF could significantly up-regulate the expression of PPARα， PPARγ， and apolipoprotein A1 （ApoA1） in rat liver tissues （ P ＜0.05）， and down-regulate the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 （SCD1） and perilipin 2 （PLIN2） （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS TZF can improve glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in T2DM rats； its mechanism may be related to the activation of the PPAR signaling pathway and the regulation of downstream lipid metabolism-related proteins SCD1， PLIN2， and ApoA1.

Objective:To visually analyze the research hot-spots and development trends of pelvic floor dysfunction nursing, in order to provide a reference for the research of pelvic floor dysfunction nursing in China.Methods:The China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science core collection were used as the retrieval databases to retrieve the literature in the field of pelvic floor dysfunction nursing from the establishment of the database to January 31, 2025. CiteSpace 6.4.R1 software was used to visually analyze the included literature.Results:A total of 1 947 Chinese articles and 4 931 English articles were included. The number of English literature increased year by year, while Chinese literature showed a downward trend since 2019. There were more and stable core authors and core institutions in foreign research, while there was less cooperation among domestic authors and institutions. The research hotspots abroad mainly focused on improving the quality of nursing care and managing specific health problems. The future development trends were primarily randomized controlled trials, tension-free vaginal tape, postoperative care, and patient experience. The research hotspots in China mainly focused on nursing interventions. The future development trends were primarily patient quality of life and effectiveness evaluation.Conclusions:Due to different development stages, compared with foreign countries, there are still some deficiencies in evidence-based medicine, delicacy of nursing after tension-free vaginal tape, patient experience, innovation of nursing technology, and depth and breadth of nursing research in China. In the future, we should learn from foreign studies to promote the development of nursing research on pelvic floor dysfunction in China.

Aim To investigate the effect of PU.1 in-hibitor DB2313 on lupus nephritis in MRL/lpr mice and its mechanism.Methods Thirty female MRL/lpr mice were randomly divided into the model group,DB2313 group and TACI-Ig group,with 10 mice in each group.Another 10 female BALB/c mice were se-lected as normal control groups.Mice in the DB2313 group received intraperitoneal DB2313 injections every two days,and those in the TACI-Ig group received subcutaneous injections of TACI-Ig every two days.Mice in the control group and model group were intra-gastrically given the same amount of 0.9％NaCl injec-tion every day.Before the drug intervention and for 1 to 5 weeks after the intervention,the urine of mice was collected regularly,the urine protein content was meas-ured,and the renal damage index was evaluated.The histopathological changes of kidney were observed by HE,Masson and PAS staining.The expression levels of immune complex of C3 in kidney tissue were detec-ted by immunohistochemistry.The concentrations of u-rea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(Scr),inter-leukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)in the serum samples were assayed utilizing the respective kits.The expression levels of PU.1 and FLT3 in kidney tissues were determined by immunoflu-orescence technology,and the protein expressions of PU.1,FLT3,PI3K,AKT and phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT)in kidney tissues were detected by Western blot.Results DB2313 treatment significantly allevia-ted the pathological damage of kidney in MRL/lpr mice,and reduced the deposition of C3,kidney injury index and 24-hour urine protein in renal tissue.The results of ELISA showed that DB2313 administration could significantly reduce the serum levels of BUN,Scr,IL-6 and TNF-α in MRL/lpr mice.The results of immunofluorescence and Western blot further showed that DB2313 treatment could significantly down-regu-late the protein expression of PU.1,PI3K and p-AKT,and up-regulate the protein expression of FLT3.Con-clusion DB2313 has an ameliorating effect on lupus nephritis in MRL/lpr mice,and its underlying mecha-nism may involve the inhibition of the transcription fac-tor PU.1-mediated signaling pathway.

To establish a rapid visual detection method for Akabane virus(AKAV)on site,specific primers and probes based on the S fragment of AKAV were designed in this experiment.Corre-sponding groups were added to the primers or probes to fulfil the requirement of the combination of recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)with lateral flow dipstick(LFD).The reaction temperature and time,concentrations of the primer and probe were optimized to establish the RPA-LFD method for detecting AKAV.After that,the specificity,sensitivity and clinical reliability of the method were evaluated.The results showed that after 20 minutes of reaction at 37 ℃,the test results could be read on LFD paper.There was no cross reaction against blue tongue virus,Pasteurella multocida,bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus and bovine Mycoplasma bovis,and the detection limit was 2.5 × 100 copies/μL of standard plasmid.Detection of clinical samples showed a consistent results with that by RT-PCR method.These findings indicated that the RPA-LFD method established had the advantages of good specificity,high sensitivity,simple operation and visualization,and could be applied to clinical detection,which provides new technical support for the rapid diagnosis and prevention and control of AKAV.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation of cerebral perfusion and cognitive function status in patients with minor stroke(MS)or transient ischemic attack(TIA)complicated by severe intracranial arterial stenosis or occlusion(hereafter referred to as ICAS-MSTIA).Methods Retrospectively enrol consecutive ICAS-MSTIA patients admitted to the Department of Neurology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,from June 2023 to May 2024.In the meantime,healthy controls were openly recruited.The ICAS-MSTIA patients were divided into two groups based on the side of intracranial large artery stenosis or occlusion:the left intracranial large artery involvement group and the right intracranial large artery involvement group.All patients with intracranial large artery stenosis or occlusion underwent MR scanning within 2 weeks after the first episode of TIA or MS,while there was no specific time requirement for MR examination in the healthy control group.On the day of MR scanning,the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scale was used to evaluate the participants'global cognitive function and performance in various cognitive domains,including visuospatial/executive function,naming,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation.General information of all participants was collected,including age,sex,educational level,body mass index,and history of smoking and alcohol consumption.Clinical data were collected from both left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups,including cerebrovascular risk factors(such as,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,and hyperlipidemia),National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,responsible stenotic or occluded arteries(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery),degree of stenosis in the responsible vessel(severe stenosis[stenosis rate 70%-99%],occlusion[stenosis rate100%])and non-responsible vessel(no stenosis[0],mild stenosis[stenosis rate＞0-49%]),collateral circulation compensation(American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology[ASTIN/SIR]collateral circulation classification),and responsible events(TIA,MS).General data and MoCA scale scores were compared across the three groups,while clinical data were compared between the left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups.Statistical parametric mapping 12(SPM 12)was used to perform voxel-wise independent samples t-tests on cerebral blood flow(CBF)differences among the left ICAS-MSTIA group,right ICAS-MSTIA group,and healthy control group,with cluster-level family-wise error(FWE)correction applied for adjustment.Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between global CBF values and total MoCA scores in ICAS-MSTIA patients with left or right intracranial large artery involvement.Results A total of 33 ICAS-MSTIA patients and 33 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.Among the ICAS-MSTIA patients,21 had left intracranial large artery involvement and 12 had right involvement.(1)Among the three groups,statistically significant differences were observed in the proportions of individuals with reported smoking history(P=0.024)and alcohol consumption history(P=0.011).The left intracranial large artery involvement group had a higher NIHSS score(0[0,2]vs.0[0,0],P=0.044)and a higher proportion of patients with internal carotid artery involvement(13/21 cases vs.2/12 cases,P=0.027)compared with the right side group.No statistically significant differences were observed in other general or clinical data across the three groups or between the two non-control groups(all P＞0.05).(2)Statistically significant differences were found across the three groups in the MoCA scale total score and scores of visuospatial/executive function,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation cognitive domains(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was noted in the naming score(P=0.063).The left intracranial large artery involvement group had lower total MoCA score and lower scores in visuospatial/executive function,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation in comparison to the healthy control group(all P＜0.016 7).The right intracranial large artery involvement group had significantly lower scores in language,abstraction,and orientation domains than the healthy control group(all P＜0.016 7).Additionally,the left side group had a lower attention domain score than the right side group(P＜0.016 7).No other statistically significant differences were found in pairwise comparisons(all P＞0.016 7).(3)Patients in both the left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups exhibited a significant decrease in CBF in extensive regions on the affected side,including the temporal lobe,dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,and occipital lobe.Furthermore,after correction,in the left involvement group CBF was higher in the contralateral lingual gyrus,cuneus,and calcarine sulcus compared with the healthy control group(P＜0.05).While in the right involvement group,no regions had increased CBF compared to the healthy control group.(4)Multiple linear regression showed positive correlation between CBF in ipsilateral precentral gyrus and superior temporal gyrus,and the total MoCA score in patients with left intracranial large artery involvement(FWE-corrected,P＜0.05).In contrast,there was no correlation between CBF and total MoCA score in patients with right intracranial large artery involvement.Conclusions ICAS-MSTIA patients exhibited various degrees of impairment in cerebral perfusion and cognitive function.A significant positive correlation is observed between these two impairments in patients with left intracranial large artery involvement.

Aim To establish the pyroptosis model of rat chondrocytes induced by tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)in order to study the effect of lysine acetyl-transferase 7(KAT7)on pyroptosis of chondrocytes.Methods Chondrocytes of rat knee joint were isolated by type Ⅱ collagenase digestion,and were identified by toluidine blue staining and Col Ⅱ immunofluorescence.CCK-8 was used to evaluate cell viability.Western blot was used to detect the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins NLRP3,GSDMD,caspase-8 and KAT7 in cells intervened with TNF-α,adenovirus overexpression of KAT7(KAT7-oe)and KAT7 inhibitor WM-3835.The microstructure of the cells was observed by scanning e-lectron microscopy.Pyroptosis was detected by TUNEL staining,and the expression of pyroptosis-related pro-tein and KAT7 was detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the empty virus group,KAT7-oe inhibited cell viability,promoted the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins,and TNF-α enhanced this effect.At the same time,the expression of KAT7 and pyroptosis-related proteins in the TNF-α stimulation group increased,and WM-3835 reduced the related proteins expression.Electron microscopy showed that KAT7-oe caused cell swelling,deformation,membrane perforation and rupture,while WM-3835 could restore cell morphology.TUNEL staining and immunofluores-cence results also confirmed that KAT7-oe induced chondrocyte pyroptosis,and WM-3835 could down-reg-ulate the fluorescence of pyroptosis-related proteins.Conclusions The expression of KAT7 increases in rat chondrocyte pyroptosis model,and the intervention of KAT7 expression affects signal molecules related to py-roptosis pathway,suggesting that KAT7 may be related to chondrocyte pyroptosis.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Glaucocalyxin A(GLA)in inhibiting ovalbumin(OVA)-induced airway remodeling in asthmatic mice through the topoisomerase Ⅱ α(TOP2A)/cyclin-dependent kinase 1(CDK1)signaling pathway.Methods Forty Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:the control group,the model group,the low-dose GLA group,the high-dose GLA group and the Dexamethasone group,with 8 mice in each group.The effect of GLA on airway remodeling was examined by immunohistochemical staining,ELISA and other methods,and bioinformatics methods were used to predict new targets of GLA.The action targets of TOP2A were screened using the STRING database,and the interaction relationship between the two was verified by co-immunoprecipitation.In vitro,GLA and siRNA were used to interfere with interleukin-4(IL-4)-stimulated human airway epithelial cells BEAS-2B.The expressions of TOP2A,epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),Integrin β1,focal adhesion kinase(FAK),β-catenin,CDK1 and DRP1 were detected by Western Blot.Results GLA intervention could significantly reduce OVA-induced asthma airway remodeling,airway smooth muscle thickening,collagen deposition around the airway,the number of eosinophils in alveolar lavage fluid,the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4,and the level of serum IgE.The new target of GLA screened out was TOP2A,which was highly expressed in the lung tissue of the asthma airway remodeling model.GLA intervention could down-regulate its expression.In vitro,intervention with GLA and si-TOP2A could significantly down-regulate the expressions of IL-4-induced TOP2A,EGFR,Integrin β1,FAK and β-catenin.Further studies have found that TOP2A had an interaction relationship with CDK1.si-TOP2A could downregulate the expression of CDK1,and knockdown of CDK1 could significantly down-regulate the expression of phosphorylated DRP1.Conclusion GLA may alleviate asthma airway remodeling by targeting the TOP2A/CDK1 signaling pathway,providing experimental evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of asthma airway remodeling in asthma.

In recent decades,the incidence of human papillomavirus(HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)has shown a marked increase.Significant changes have also occurred in the OPSCC diagnosis and treatment paradigm.Deter-mining HPV status prior to treatment is now essential,and radiotherapy/chemotherapy,immunotherapy,and minimally invasive surgical techniques have progressively emerged as key modalities for managing OPSCC.However,alongside these paradigm shifts,a comprehen-sive technical consensus guiding the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process for OPSCC patients is currently lacking.Given China's large population base and the rising incidence of OPSCC,an expert panel convened to develop a clinical technical consensus on OPSCC diagno-sis and management tailored to China's specific context.This consensus aims to further enhance and standardize understanding of OPSCC management techniques among relevant healthcare professionals.
