Objective: To explore the learning curve of transurethral 450 nm blue light vaporization of the prostate (TUBVP) in a district hospital，in order to provide reference for clinicians who plan to perform TUBVP. Methods: The clinical data of 56 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who received TUBVP performed by the same group of surgeons in Chang'an District Hospital during Jun. and Dec. 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) was used to fit the learning curve of ratio of volume to operating time (RVOT) of prostate volume /450 nm blue light. The learning curve was divided into different stages according to the inflection points，and the clinical data of patients operated at different stages were analyzed and compared. Results: The learning curve of TUBVP was 21 cases，including 1-21 cases in the learning stage，22-38 cases in the improvement stage and 39-56 cases in the maturity stage. With the increase of cases，the postoperative bladder irrigation time reduced \[40.00 (26.00，44.50) h vs. 23.00(20.50，34.00) h vs. 23.50(14.75，40.75) h\]，with statistical difference (P<0.05). The surgical efficiency increased \[(0.51±0.14) vs. (0.55±0.17) vs. (0.63±0.23)\]，while the reduction of hemoglobin \[(6.43±7.35) g/L vs. (5.65±10.91) g/L vs. (2.61±7.36) g/L\]，catheter indwelling time \[70.0 (66.0，106.0) h vs. 71.0 (66.0，89.0) h vs. 66.0 (58.5，78.5) h\]，and incidence of complications (9.5% vs. 5.9% vs. 0) in the three stages showed a gradually decreasing trend，but with no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion: The learning curve of TUBVP is 21 cases. For clinicians in district hospitals，TUBVP is a worthy choice.

Objective To observe the value of ultrasonic parameters of diaphragm motion combined with BODE index for predicting acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Eighty COPD patients were retrospectively collected and divided into stable group(n=45)and acute exacerbation group(n=35).Ultrasonic parameters of diaphragm motion,including diaphragm excursion(DE)under quiet breathing(QB)and deep breathing(DB),i.e.DEQB and DEDB were measured.The general data,ultrasound parameters of diaphragm motion,and BODE index scores were compared between groups.Then logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors which could be used to independently predict acute exacerbations of COPD.The predicting performance of ultrasound parameters of diaphragm motion,BODE index and their combination were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the area under the curve(AUC).Results Compared with stable COPD group,acute exacerbation group had higher BMI and BODE index scores(both P＜0.05),as well as larger DEQB but smaller DEDB(both P＜0.05).DEDB and BODE index were both independent predicting factors of acute exacerbation of COPD,while increased DEDB indicated decreased risk of acute exacerbation(OR[95％CI]=0.673[0.493,0.918],P＜0.05),whereas increased BODE index suggested higher risk(OR[95％CI]=3.678[1.061,12.746],P＜0.05).AUC for DEDB and BODE index alone for predicting acute exacerbation of COPD was 0.788 and 0.799,respectively,and of their combination was 0.979,significant higher than that of each alone(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrasonic parameters of diaphragm motion could be used to evaluate diaphragm function in COPD patients.Combination of DEDB and BODE index had better performances in predicting acute exacerbation of COPD.

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 investigate the correlation and clinical prognostic value between the expression of polypeptide N-acety lgalactosaminyltransferases 1(GALNT1),lysosomal adaptor MTOR activator 5(LAMTOR5),and epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)in gastric cancer.Methods 102 gastric cancer patients admitted to Nantong Tumor Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-PCR)were used to detect the expression of GALNT1,LAMTOR5 mRNA and protein,as well as the expression of EMT indicators Snail mRNA,N-cad mRNA and Vimentin mRNA in cancer and adjacent tissues.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between markers.Kaplan Meier curve analysis was used to investigate the relationship between GALNT1 mRNA,LAMTOR5 mRNA and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.COX regression analysis was used to identify factors that affect the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.Results GALNT1 mRNA(3.38±0.29)and LAMTOR5 mRNA(3.17±0.26)in gastric cancer tissue were higher than those in adjacent tissues(0.72±0.16,0.65±0.13),and the differences were statistically significant(t=81.111,87.553,all P<0.001).The positive rates of GALNT1(92.16%),LAMTOR5(90.20%)proteins in gastric cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues(7.84%,11.76%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=145.020,125.538,P<0.001).The expression of GALNT1 mRNA and LAMTOR5 mRNA in gastric cancer was positively correlated(r=0.757,P<0.001).The expression of GALNT1 mRNA and LAMTOR5 mRNA in gastric cancer was significantly positively correlated with Snail mRNA,N-cad mRNA and Vimentin mRNA expression(r=0.654,0.712,0.689;0.706,0.645,0.723,all P<0.001).The expression of GALNT1 mRNA and LAMTOR5 mRNA was correlated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer patients.The expression of GALNT1 mRNA and LAMTOR5 mRNA in cancer tissues with TNM stage III and lymph node metastasis was higher than that in TNM stage I～II and no lymph node metastasis,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=29.417～290.104,all P<0.001).The 3-year overall survival rate of the high expression group of GALNT1 mRNA was 40.00%(20/50),which was lower than 76.92%(40/52)of the low expression group,the 3-year overall survival rate of the high expression group of LAMTOR5 mRNA was 38.78%(19/49),which was lower than the 77.36%(41/53)of the low expression group,and the differences were statistically significant(Log-Rank χ2=7.327,5.197,P=0.009,0.023).TNM stage III,lymph node metastasis,GALNT1 mRNA was highly expressed,and high LAMTOR5 mRNA was highly expressed were risk factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer(Wald χ2=6.409～16.805,all P<0.001).Conclusion The expression of GALNT1 and LAMTOR5 are elevated in gastric cancer tissues.Both of them are related to EMT indicators and adverse clinicopathological features.They are biomarkers for evaluating the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of replacing feed protein by Herme-tia illucens larvae meal on immune function,intestinal morphology and microflora of Sichuan white geese.A total of 64 healthy 1-day-old Sichuan white geese were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 4 replicates in each group and 4 geese in each replicate,namely the control group,the 2％HILM,4％HILM and 8％HILM groups fed diets contained 0％,2％,4％and 8％of HILM,re-spectively.The experimental period was 40 days.The results showed that compared with the con-trol group,8％HILM increased the levels of serum IgG1,IgG2a and complement C3,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).4％HILM significantly increased the expression level of CD4(P＜0.05),and 8％HILM significantly increased the expression level of IL-10(P＜0.05).The ratio of villus length to crypt depth(VH/CD)in the jejunum and ileum in 4％HILM group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).The SIgA level of jejunum was significantly increased in all HILM replacement groups(P＞0.05).The abundance of Bacteroides in 4％HILM group were extremely significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the abundance of Bilophila and Bilophila wadsworthia were significantly decreased in all HILM replacement groups(P＜0.05).In conclu-sion,HILM can enhance the immune function of Sichuan white geese,improve the intestinal mor-phology of jejunum and ileum,enhance the local mucosal immunity of jejunum,increase the abun-dance of beneficial bacteria in cecum and decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria in cecum,and protect intestinal health.

To explore the effect of Macleaya cordata extract(MCE)on growth performance and serum biochemistry of Sichuan White Geese,and to analyze its mechanism of action by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology combined with animal experiments verification.A total of 90 1-day-old healthy goslings were randomly divided into 5 groups with 18 goslings per group after 5 d of adaptive feeding.The control group(CON)was fed with basal diet,the antibiotic group(CTC)was supplemented with 450 mg/kg chlortetracycline premix,and the low MCE group(MCEL),medium MCE group(MCEM)and high MCE group(MCEH)were supple-mented with 200,300 and 400 mg/kg MCE,respectively.The experimental period was 21 d.On the basis of the above experiments,Network pharmacology and molecular docking technology were used to predict the core targets and signaling pathways of MCE to promote geese growth from the levels of antioxidant,immune and apoptosis,and the expression levels of the core target genes were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The results showed that compared with the CON group,MCE supplementation could increase the average daily weight gain,decrease the ratio of feed to gain,significantly increase the contents of serum GH,T3,T4,TP and ALB(P＜0.05),and significantly decrease the contents of serum AST and TG(P＜0.05).Network pharmacology analysis predicted 2 active ingredient and 237 active ingredient targets,and concluded that the mechanism of MCE promoting the growth of Sichuan White Geese may be related to the role of 5 key targets such as SRC,HSP90AA1,CASP3,ESR1 and MAPK14,and the action of MAPK,apop-tosis and other signaling pathways.Molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients of sanguinarine and chelerythrine in MCE could act through MAPK14.The validation results of core targets showed that MCE could significantly reduce the mRNA expression levels of CytC,CASP2,CASP3 and CASP9 in spleen(P＜0.05)and significantly increase the mRNA expression levels of Mcl-1(P＜0.05).These results indicated that MCE could promote the growth performance of Si-chuan White Geese by regulating apoptosis,promoting the secretion of serum growth-related hor-mones and improving biochemical indicators.
