ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Qizhujianwei granules (QZJW) on abnormal proliferation and malignant transformation of gastric mucosal cells in rats with gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN) and to explore the related mechanisms. MethodsA total of 80 SPF male Wistar rats were used. A GIN rat model was established using a four-factor comprehensive method consisting of methylnitronitrosoguanidine (MNNG), ranitidine, irregular feeding patterns, and sodium salicylate. Except for the normal group, after successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided according to body weight into a model group, a Moluodan group (0.55 g·kg-1), and a QZJW group (7.34 g·kg-1), with 12 rats in each group. All groups were treated for 8 weeks. The general characteristics of the rats and morphological changes of the gastric mucosa were observed. Histopathological changes of the gastric mucosa were examined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum levels of pepsinogenⅠ (PGⅠ), pepsinogenⅡ (PGⅡ), and gastrin (G-17), as well as the expression level of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in gastric mucosal tissue, and the PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio was calculated. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the localization and expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki-67) and Vimentin in gastric mucosal tissue. Western blot analysis was used to determine the protein expression levels of Wnt family member 3A (Wnt3a), β-catenin, CyclinD1, proto-oncogene Cmyc, transforming growth factor-β receptor Ⅰ (TGFβRⅠ), intracellular signaling transducers Smad2/3, phosphorylated (p)-Smad2/3, twist family transcription factor (Twist1), and Vimentin in gastric mucosal tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showed characteristic changes including dim eyes, pale ears and claws, dark-red tongue, and reduced luster of the tail. The gastric mucosa appeared pale, with surface congestion and erosion. The gastric mucosal glands were disordered, the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio increased, and local tumor cells were observed. Serum PGⅠ and PGⅡ levels and the PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the level of G-17 was significantly increased (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of Ki-67, Wnt3a, β-catenin, CyclinD1, Cmyc, TGF-β1, TGFβRⅠ, Smad2/3, Twist1, and Vimentin in gastric mucosal tissue were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), whereas the ratio of p-Smad2/3 to Smad2/3 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the general characteristics and gastric mucosal conditions of rats in the Moluodan group and the QZJW group were improved. HE staining showed that QZJW could effectively block the malignant progression of GIN. Serum PGⅠ and PGⅡ levels and the PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the level of G-17 was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of Ki-67, Wnt3a, β-catenin, CyclinD1, Cmyc, TGF-β1, TGFβRⅠ, Smad2/3, Twist1, and Vimentin in gastric mucosal tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionQZJW have a therapeutic effect on rats with GIN. The mechanism may involve inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to regulate the cell cycle and suppress abnormal cell proliferation. Meanwhile, it may inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition by suppressing the TGF-β1/Smad/Twist1 signaling pathway, thereby blocking the malignant progression of GIN.

Objective:To establish and assess the quality control and improvement system for metabolic and bariatric surgery in Beijing.Methods:Based on relevant documents from the National Health Commission and the Beijing Municipal Health Commission,and referencing the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery,a quality control system was developed under the Beijing Quality Control and Improvement Center of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The system incorporated on-site evaluations,data registration,and specialized training. From May to December 2023,on-site assessments were conducted at 21 hospitals in Beijing performing bariatric surgery,evaluating personnel qualifications,infrastructure,clinical workflows,and postoperative follow-up. A quality control database was created to collect real-time surgical data,and training was provided for data entry and professional skills. Assessment results were classified as excellent,qualified,or needing improvement,with rectification suggestions offered and follow-up visits conducted to track progress.Results:All 21 hospitals achieved a 100% compliance rate for surgical indications, 16 (76.2%) met standardized surgical operation criteria,and 14 (66.7%) had standardized postoperative management. However,only 5 (23.8%) achieved a 12-month postoperative follow-up rate of ≥60%,and 4 (19.1%) had established specialized databases. Key challenges included insufficient specialized staffing (19.1%), lack of multidisciplinary collaboration (47.6%), inadequate equipment (57.1%), and low follow-up rates (57.1%). The database collected data from over 2 000 patients across 111 fields. After rectification, specialized database coverage rose to 61.9% (13 hospitals). Multi-level training programs developed backbone physicians and specialized nurses,significantly addressing the shortage of specialized personnel.Conclusion:The quality control system established in this study,through the integration of on-site evaluation,data registration,and specialized training,effectively enhances the standardization of surgical practices and data management capabilities.

Objective To investigate the potential beneficial predictors for endovascular treatment(EVT)in case of acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion with large-core infarction.Methods We made a retrospective inclusion of 92 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion and core infarct volume ranging from 50 to 100 mL,who underwent EVT at Zhangzhou Municipal Hospital of Fujian Province from March 2018 to February 2021.All the patients were confirmed as anterior circulation large infarction and large infarct volume using computed tomography(CT),computed tomography angiography(CTA),and computed tomography perfusion(CTP)before EVT.All clinical and imaging data were collected to observe the postoperative recurrence rate,incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH),and functional prognosis 90 days.Then the patients were divided into favorable outcomes group(mRS≤3)and unfavorable outcomes group(mRS>3)based on Rankin scores 90 days post-stroke.Univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis were conducted to analyze factors influencing the patients'prognosis.By combining the results of multivariate analysis,we constructed receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and identified the cut-off value to evaluate the predictive value of age for post-vascular treatment prognosis.Results Among the included patients,the postoperative revascularization rate(mTIICI≥2b)was 95%(88 cases),the rate of favorable outcomes at 90 days postoperatively(mRS≤3)was 32.61%(30 cases),the incidence of sICH was 13%,and the mortality rate was 31.5%.Compared with the unfavorable outcomes group,the favorable outcomes group had a younger age and a higher proportion of males.Multivariate analysis indicated that older age was an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes following endovascular treatment(OR=4.97,95%CI:1.78-13.90,P=0.002).The ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve was maximized at the age of 72.5 years(AUC=0.763,95%CI:0.661-0.864,P<0.001).Its sensitivity and specificity was 0.565 and 0.833,respectively.Conclusion Age is an independent predictor of the prognosis of acute procirculatory large core stroke.Patients with large core infarction older than 72.5 years may not benefit from endovascular therapy,which needs to be confirmed by a multicenter large sample prospective randomized controlled trial.

Objective:To characterize the vaginal flora of pregnant women during the second trimester using full-length 16S rRNA sequencing.Methods:A total of 142 pregnant women were systematically sampled from a pregnancy cohort. Vaginal swabs were collected for full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing,and bioinformatics analysis was performed to characterize the vaginal microbiota and identify associated influencing factors.Results:Among the 142 pregnant women,the most frequently detected species were Lactobacillus iners(83.10%,118/142)and Lactobacillus crispatus(49.30%,70/142). The majority of samples(90.85%,129/142)were classified as Lactobacillus-dominant vagitypes,with the Lactobacillus iners vagitype accounting for 48.59%(69/142)and the Lactobacillus crispatus vagitype accounting for 38.73%(55/142). The vaginal microbiota was clustered into five community state types(CSTs):Ⅰa,Ⅰb,Ⅲa,Ⅲb,and Ⅳ. The most prevalent CSTs were Lactobacillus iners-dominated CST-Ⅲ(51.41%,73/142)and Lactobacillus crispatus-dominated CST-Ⅰ(24.65%,35/142). No samples were classified as CST-Ⅱ or CST-Ⅴ. A significant negative correlation was observed between Lactobacill and vaginosis-associated bacteria. Age,alcohol consumption,smoking,and vaginal treatments showed significant associations or trends toward significance with various Alpha diversity indices. Vaginal douching was associated with CST clustering,while obstetric history(primiparity,previous miscarriage history)was associated with vagitype classification. However,no significant associations were identified between maternal baseline characteristics and Beta diversity indices. Conclusions:Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals that the vaginal microbiota of pregnant women is dominated by Lactobacillus iners and Lactobacillus crispatus. Maternal age,lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption,and obstetric history are significantly associated with variations in vaginal microbiota composition.
