Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy affecting the female reproductive system. Pharmacological inhibitors targeting CDK4/6 have demonstrated promising efficacy across various cancer types. However, their clinical benefits in ovarian cancer patients fall short of expectations, with only a subset of patients experiencing these advantageous effects. This study aims to provide further clinical and biological evidence for antineoplastic effects of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (TQB4616) in ovarian cancer and explore underlying mechanisms involved. Patient-derived ovarian cancer organoid models were established to evaluate the effectiveness of TQB3616. Potential key genes related to TQB3616 sensitivity were identified through RNA-seq analysis, and TRIM4 was selected as a candidate gene for further investigation. Subsequently, co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays confirmed that TRIM4 binds to hnRNPDL and promotes its ubiquitination through RING and B-box domains. RIP assay demonstrated that hnRNPDL binded to CDKN2C isoform 2 and suppressed its expression by alternative splicing. Finally, in vivo studies confirmed that the addition of siTRIM4 significantly improved the effectiveness of TQB3616. Overall, our findings suggest that TRIM4 modulates ubiquitin-mediated degradation of hnRNPDL and weakens sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors in ovarian cancer treatment. TRIM4 may serve as a valuable biomarker for predicting sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors in ovarian cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the left ventricular(LV)function in heart transplant(HTx)patients with post-transplant diabetes(PTDM),and to examine the relevance of PTDM and LV function to the patient's prognosis.Methods:Two hundred and thirteen adult HTx patients who underwent echocardiography at Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between January 2018 and January 2022 were prospectively included. The patients were divided into PTDM group( n=86)and Non-PTDM group( n=127). LV function parameters were acquired using conventional and two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography(2D-STE),and were compared between the two groups. The primary endpoints included all-cause mortality or transplant-related readmission. Results:Compared with Non-PTDM group,the LV mass of PTDM group was higher,the LV ejection fraction,LV global longitudinal strain(GLS),peak systolic global longitudinal strain rate,and early diastolic global longitudinal strain rate(dGLSr)were lower(all P<0.05). After a median follow-up period of 37.6(29.3)months,27 patients experienced clinical events. A multivariate analysis revealed that PTDM( HR=2.198,95% CI=1.018-4.743, P=0.045)and low GLS( HR=6.456,95% CI=2.889-14.426, P<0.001)were independent predictors of adverse clinical events after adjustment for dGLSr,body mass index and age. After subdividing the two groups into 4 subgroups by the cutoff value of GLS(16.5%),the prognosis was worst for HTx patients with PTDM and low GLS. Conclusions:HTx patients with PTDM have worse LV systolic and diastolic function than those without PTDM. Management of HTx patients with PTDM may be improved using GLS guidance.

Objective:To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the postoperative complications of open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD).Methods:The preoperative, operative and postoperative data of 234 patients who underwent OPD in the Department of the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of First Affiliated Hospital affiliated to Naval Medical University from January 2015 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the Asian BMI standard, the patients were divided into three groups: underweight group (BMI<18.5 kg/m 2, n=32), normal weight group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<23.0 kg/m 2, n=110) and overweight group (BMI≥23.0 kg/m 2, n=92). Normal weight group was compared with underweight group and overweight group, respectively, to analyze the relationship between BMI and intraoperative parameters and major postoperative complications of OPD. Results:The incidence of diabetes in underweight group was lower than that in normal weight group, and the proportion of ASA score 3 in underweight group was higher than that in normal weight group, and there were significantly statistical differences (both P value <0.05). There was no significant difference on the other variables between underweight group, normal weight group and overweight group. The operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage volume >800 ml and intraoperative blood transfusion rate were not statistically different between underweight group and normal weight group, but overweight group had obviously higher intraoperative blood transfusion rate than normal weight group and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Underweight group had more postoperative intraperitoneal hemorrhage and postoperative blood transfusion rate than normal weight group, and the readmission rate in underweight group was less than that in normal weight group; the incidence of clinically related-post operative pancreatic fistula, postoperative infection, gastrointestinal bleeding and delayed gastric emptying in overweight group were significantly higher than those in normal weight group, and there were significantly statistical differences (all P value <0.05). In underweight group, normal weight group and overweight group, the average length of hospital stay were 9.9 days, 11.3 days, 15 days, and the total hospitalization expenses were 63663.04 yuan, 66241.78 yuan and 80484.31 yuan, respectively. Conclusions:Compared to normal weight patients, the difficulty of OPD in underweight patients does not increase, while the difficulty of OPD in overweight patients increases. Underweight and overweight could both increase the postoperative complications of OPD to some extent.

Objective:To investigate the chain mediation effect of psychological flexibility and dyadic coping between perceived social support and family function in parents of pediatric liver transplant recipients.Methods:Totally 320 parents of pediatric liver transplant recipients who were treated at the Department of Pediatric Organ Transplantation, Tianjin First Central Hospital from April to October 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. The participants were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ (AAQ-Ⅱ), the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI), and the Family APGAR Index (APGAR). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between perceived social support, psychological flexibility, dyadic coping, and family function in these parents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed using Amos 26.0 to analyze the chain mediation effect of psychological flexibility and dyadic coping between perceived social support and family function, with the Bootstrap method used for model testing.Results:A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, with 312 valid responses, yielding a response rate of 97.50% (312/320). The scores for the 312 parents were as follows: PSSS (59.29±15.64), AAQ-Ⅱ (20.35±9.07), DCI (124.64±32.65), and APGAR (6.98±2.74). Family function was positively correlated with perceived social support and dyadic coping ( P<0.01), and perceived social support was positively correlated with dyadic coping ( P<0.01). Psychological flexibility was negatively correlated with family function, perceived social support, and dyadic coping ( P<0.01). SEM results showed that psychological flexibility and dyadic coping had a significant chain mediation effect between perceived social support and family function, with a mediation effect value of 0.059. The chain mediation effect of psychological flexibility and dyadic coping accounted for 13.81% of the total effect (0.059/0.427) . Conclusions:Perceived social support directly affects family function in parents of pediatric liver transplant recipients and also indirectly influences family function through the chain mediation effect of psychological flexibility and dyadic coping.
