Objective To explore the molecular mechanism by which SOS Ras/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1-intronic transcript 1(SOS1-IT1)affects enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)protein expression in endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2.Methods Lentiviral transfection of short hairpin RNA(shRNA)and overexpression plasmid were used in Ishikawa and RL95-2 cell lines to knock down and overexpress SOS1-IT1.The mechanism of EZH2 expression regulation was studied using Real-time PCR,Western blotting,and chromatin immunoprecipitation.Results The expression of SOS1-IT1 and EZH2 genes was positively correlated in endometrial cancer tissues.Knocking down SOS1-IT1 significantly reduces the expression of EZH2,inhibited the proliferation and migration of Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells,and could reduced the acetylation of histone H3 at position 27(H3K27)and the enrichment of CREB binding protein(CBP)in the EZH2 gene promoter region.Overexpression of SOS1-IT1 could increased the expression of EZH2 and enhance the acetylation of H3K27 and the enrichment of CBP.CBP could bind to SOS1-IT1 RNA,and this binding ability was weakened when CBP was knocked down.Conclusion SOS1-IT1 can promote the expression level of EZH2 in endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2 by regulating the acetylation modification level of the EZH2 gene promoter region,thereby affecting the proliferation and migration ability of endometrial cancer cells.

China is facing the double burden of high incidence of lung cancer and tuberculosis epidemic. Lung cancer combined with tuberculosis has a high incidence and complexity in clinical practice. High-risk groups include immunocompromised people, long-term smokers and people with a history of tuberculosis. The coexistence of the two diseases not only increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment decision-making, but also increases the risk of treatment-related adverse reactions and drug interactions. The guideline was developed by Committee of Integrated Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer, Chinese Anti-Cancer Association; Chinese and Western Integrated Lung Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association; Society of Tuberculosis, Chinese Medical Association, aiming to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. The guideline emphasizes the core position of combined diagnosis of multimodal imaging, etiology and pathology. It is proposed that anti-tuberculosis and anti-tumor treatment should be coordinated under the framework of multidisciplinary team, and drug interactions and timing optimization should be paid attention to. For surgical treatment, minimally invasive resection combined with systematic lymph node dissection is recommended after infection control. Systemic therapy requires individualized risk stratification and dynamic monitoring of efficacy and adverse reactions. Based on evidence-based medicine and Chinese clinical practice, combined with the accessibility of drugs and technologies, this guideline proposes a whole-process management pathway covering screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, in order to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Klebsiella pneumoniae,as a clinically prevalent opportunistic pathogen,ranks as the second most com-monly detected pathogen in clinical isolates in China.The extensive clinical use of carbapenem antibiotics has led to a high global detection rate of carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP).Characterized by complex resist-ance mechanisms and diverse evolutionary pathways,CRKP infections pose significant challenges in prevention and treatment,with high associated mortality rates,creating substantial obstacles for clinical anti-infective therapy.In recent years,the emergence and global spread of carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K.pneumoniae(CR-hvKP)have escalated into a major public health threat.Notably,hypervirulent K.pneumoniae isolates carry-ing carbapenem resistance genes are rapidly disseminating worldwide,causing fatal infections even in immunocom-petent individuals.This article systematically reviews the latest research advances on the resistance mechanisms,evolutionary pathways,adaptive changes,and clinical management strategies of CR-hvKP,aiming to deepen un-derstanding of this"superbug"and provide a theoretical foundation for clinical prevention and control.

Nitrofurantoin(NFT)is a nitrofuran antibiotic commonly used as a veterinary drug to treat bacterial infections in animals.However,due to the low solubility and bioaccumulation properties,NFT is prone to leave excessive residues in animal-derived foods and water systems,posing serious threats to human health and ecosystems.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and rapid detection method for NFT.In this work,nitrogen-doped carbon nanomaterials with unique bowl-like structures(N-CNBs)were synthesized via a hydrothermal-carbonization method.The morphology,surface structure,and specific surface area of N-CNBs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The N-CNB modified glassy carbon electrode(N-CNB/GCE)was prepared,and the electrochemical test revealed that the N-CNB/GCE exhibited higher conductivity and larger electrochemical active surface area compared to bare GCE and nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanosphere-modified electrode(N-HCNS/GCE).Additionally,the N-CNB/GCE demonstrated superior electrocatalytic activity toward NFT.An NFT electrochemical sensor was constructed based on N-CNB/GCE.The detection conditions of the sensor were optimized,and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV)was employed for NFT detection under optimal experimental conditions.The established NFT electrochemical sensor had a wide linear range of 0.4-500 μmol/L,a low detection limit(S/N=3)of 0.015 μmol/L and high selectivity,with excellent stability and reproducibility.The practical feasibility of this sensor was confirmed by analysis of NFT in milk and tap water samples,with spiked recoveries ranging from 94.2%to 108.9%.

Bacterial infection is a major threat to global public health,and can cause serious diseases such as bacterial skin infection and foodborne diseases.It is essential to develop a new method to rapidly di-agnose clinical multiple bacterial infections and monitor food microbial contamination in production sites in real-time.In this work,we developed a 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid gold nanoparticles(4-MPBA-AuNPs)-functionalized hydrogel microneedle(MPBA-H-MN)for bacteria detection in skin inter-stitial fluid.MPBA-H-MN could conveniently capture and enrich a variety of bacteria within 5 min.Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)detection was then performed and combined with ma-chine learning technology to distinguish and identify a variety of bacteria.Overall,the capture efficiency of this method exceeded 50％.In the concentration range of 1 × 10 7 to 1 × 10 10 colony-forming units/mL(CFU/mL),the corresponding SERS intensity showed a certain linear relationship with the bacterial concentration.Using random forest(RF)-based machine learning,bacteria were effectively distinguished with an accuracy of 97.87％.In addition,the harmless disposal of used MNs by photothermal ablation was convenient,environmentally friendly,and inexpensive.This technique provided a potential method for rapid and real-time diagnosis of multiple clinical bacterial infections and for monitoring microbial contamination of food in production sites.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and cytokines expression characteristics in infants with mild and severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.Methods:From May 2023 to December 2023, plasma samples and clinical information were collected from 16 infants with RSV infection and 14 control infants. Cytek Aurora flow cytometry (Cytek, America) and Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect the expression levels of 25 cytokines after mild and severe RSV infection.Results:Cough and nasal obstruction were the main clinical manifestations in infants with mild RSV infection, accompanied by polypnea, wheezing and other symptoms. The main symptoms of severe RSV infection were cough and rales, accompanied by fever and polypnea. In comparison with the control group, the expression levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-13, IL-22, TNF-α, IFN-α, IFN-β, MIP-1β, I-TAC, ENA-78, GROα, Eotaxin, and MCP-1 in the RSV infection group all exhibited an upregulation trend. Both IP-10 and MIP-3α demonstrated a downward trend in the RSV infection group; however, there was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). The levels of IL-10, IFN-γ, MIP-1α, and IL-8 in the RSV infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group, whereas the levels of MIG, TARC, and RANTES in the RSV infection group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13, IL-22, IFN-β, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-8, I-TAC, MIP-1β, Eotaxin, and MCP-1 in the mild RSV infection group were significantly higher than those in the severe RSV infection group ( P>0.05). Among these, the levels of MIG, RANTES, TARC, MIP-3α, and ENA-78 in the mild infection group were all lower than those in the severe infection group. The expressions of ENA-78 and MIP-1α in the severe infection group were significantly higher than those in the mild infection group and also higher than those in the control group. There was no significant difference in IP-10 and GROα between the mild and severe RSV infection groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The differences in clinical features and cytokines between infants with mild and severe RSV infection provide important data support for the prevention and treatment of RSV infection in infants.

Objective To explore the predictive value of coronary artery calcium score(CACS)combined with C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)and soluble CD40 ligand(sCD40L)for major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)within 5 years in patients with stable coronary artery disease(SCAD).Methods A total of 206 elderly SCAD patients admitted in our depart-ment from March 2015 to November 2018 were recruited,and according to whether MACE occurred within 5 years of follow-up,they were divided into MACE group(42 cases)and control group(164 cases).Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the inde-pendent predictors of MACE.ROC curve analysis was applied to evaluate the predictive value of the combined model,and its area under curve(AUC)value was calculated.Results Compared with the control group,the MACE group had significantly older age,larger proportions of hyper-tension and diabetes mellitus,higher CACS,and elevated CXCL12 and sCD40L levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age,hypertension,diabetes melli-tus,CACS,CXCL12 and sCD40L were independent risk factors for MACE in the elderly SCAD patients within 5 years(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value of CACS,CXCL12,sCD40L,and these three indicators combined together in predicting MACE in elderly SCAD patients within 5 years was 0.872(95％CI:0.819-0.915),0.768(95％CI:0.704-0.824),0.726(95％CI:0.660-0.786),and 0.935(95％CI:0.893-0.965),respectively,with the value of the combination obviously higher than that of each indicator alone(P＜0.01).Conclusion Increased CACS,CXCL12 and sCD40L have predictive value for MACE in elderly SCAD patients,and the combination of the three indicators has obvious advantages in the prediction.

Objective To investigate the role of cathepsin K(CTK)and secreted frizzled-related protein 2(sFRP2)in ventricular remodeling in very old patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and analyze the correlation.Methods A total of 192 very old AMI patients undergoing PCI in our department from January 2020 to December 2023 were recruited,and based on clinical outcomes at 6 months after surgery,they were assigned into a ventricular remodeling group(74 cases)and a non-ventricular remodeling group(118 cases).The clinical data and postoperative biochemical indicators were collected in the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the correlation between CTK and sFRP2 levels and ventricular remodeling.ROC curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of CTK and sFRP2 in ventricular remodeling.Results The ventricular remodeling group had significantly longer length of hospital stay,larger left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,and higher levels of CTK,sFRP2,C-reactive protein(CRP)and IL-6,but lower left ventricular ejection fraction than the non-ventricular remodeling group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that CTK and sFRP2 were independent risk factors for postoperative ventricular remodeling in very old AMI patients(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis manifested that the area under curve value of CTK,sFRP2,CRP and IL-6 combined together in predicting ventricular remodeling in very old AMI patients after PCI was 0.892,with a sensitivity of 79.73％and a specificity of 88.14％(P＜0.01).Conclusion CTK and sFRP2 are significantly increased in ventricular remodeling in very old AMI patients after PCI,and are closely related to the occurrence of ventricular remodeling.They can be used as potential biomark-ers in the prediction of ventricular remodeling and provide important reference for clinical diagno-sis and treatment.
