ObjectiveTo explore the effects of hypoxia on the migration ability of human oligodendrocyte precursor cells （hOPCs） and its regulatory mechanisms. MethodsBased on the variations in oxygen concentration within the culture system， three experimental groups were set up： the 21%O₂ group （normoxic control group）， the 5%O₂ group， and the 2%O₂ group. The migration ability of hOPCs under normoxia （21%O₂）， 5%O₂， and 2%O₂ conditions was detected through the Transwell migration assay. RT-qPCR， transcriptome sequencing， and flow cytometry were used to detect the expression changes of genes and proteins such as hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha （HIF-1α） and chemokine （C-X-C Motif） receptor 4 （CXCR4）. Bioinformatics analysis was combined to analyze the KEGG pathways related to migration， so as to explore the effects of different oxygen concentrations on the migration ability of hOPCs and their possible mechanisms. ResultsHypoxia treatments at concentrations of 5%O₂ and 2%O₂ could both promote the in vitro migration of hOPCs， and the promoting effect of migration was more significant at the 2%O₂ concentration （P<0.001）. After hypoxia treatment， the mRNA expression levels of HIF-1α， CXCR4， etc. in hOPCs significantly increased （P<0.001）. Compared with the 5%O₂ concentration， the expression of CXCR4 in cells was higher at the 2%O₂ concentration （P<0.000 1）. Flow cytometry analysis detection showed that the expression of CXCR4 increased significantly after hypoxia treatment （P<0.01）， and with the decrease of oxygen concentration， its expression level further increased （P<0.000 1）. Ordinary transcriptome sequencing analysis indicated that hypoxia treatment could activate the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and the Axon guidance pathway. ConclusionHypoxia treatment can enhance the in vitro migration ability of hOPCs， and this effect is negatively correlated with the oxygen concentration. Its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of genes such as HIF-1α and CXCR4， and the activation of the migration related signaling pathway including PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and axon guidance pathway.

Background/Aims: Lenvatinib resistance remains a critical barrier in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms and strategies for reversing resistance remain incompletely understood. Methods: Integrated transcriptomics of lenvatinib-resistant patient tumors and an acquired-resistance murine model identified a novel macrophage subpopulation. Functional validation employed CRISPR-SAM screening, conditioned medium (CM) assays, subcutaneous/orthotopic xenografts, patient-derived organoids (PDOs), and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Mechanistic studies included ChIP-qPCR, co-immunoprecipitation, and pharmacologic targeting. Clinical relevance was assessed in a retrospective cohort. Results: Resistant HCC exhibited significant enrichment of a COLEC12high TAM subset , which correlated with poor survival and treatment response. These TAMs secreted neuregulin-1 (NRG1) , activating HER2/HER3-AKT signaling in tumor cells to drive cancer stemness and lenvatinib resistance. Mechanistically, in TAMs COLEC12 sequestered STAT1 in the cytoplasm, preventing its phosphorylation, and thereby derepressing STAT3-mediated NRG1 transcription. Depletion of NRG1 reversed the stemness phenotypes and resensitized tumors to lenvatinib both in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, high NRG1 expression predicted an inferior lenvatinib response and shorter survival. Crucially, the bispecific anti-HER2/HER3 antibody zenocutuzumab restored lenvatinib efficacy in PDOs, PDXs, and murine models. Conclusions Our work establishes the COLEC12high TAM/NRG1 axis as a master regulator of therapeutic resistance and identifies NRG1 as a predictive biomarker, providing a clinically actionable strategy to overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC.

Objective To analyze the reasons and influencing factors of ambiguous medical records,and propose targe-ted intervention strategies.Methods The medical records discharged from the Department of Otolaryngology,Head and Neck Surgery of a large Class Ⅲ hospital in Xi'an from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected,and the medical records groups and ambiguous medical records were screened through the DRG information platform.The clinical features,defect causes and risk factors of ambiguous cases were analyzed statistically.Results There were 4 124 discharged cases in the year,of which 77 were ambiguous cases,accounting for 1.87％.Compared with the non-ambiguous group,more patients in the ambig-uous group adopted a self-funded approach,experienced a transfer and a longer hospital stay.The proportion of surgery and trau-ma in ambiguous group was higher,but the proportion of tumor patients was lower.Due to DRG grouping rules,64 cases(83.1％)were divided into ambiguous groups,which was the primary direct cause.Binary Logistic regression indicated that self-paid medical treatment(OR=2.2),transfer(OR=4.8),hospitalization ≥7 days(OR=3.1),trauma(OR=15.0),and total cost＞20 000 yuan(OR=1.7)were the risk factors for ambiguous disease cases(P＜0.05),while tumor disease was the pro-tective factor(OR=0.6,P＜0.05).Conclusion The emergence of ambiguous medical records involves many aspects such as clinical diagnosis and treatment,hospital management,health policy and so on,which has an important impact on hospital per-formance and medical insurance fund.Only by strengthening the level of hospital management,improving the quality of informa-tion system,and promoting the coordination and communication between doctors,management and patients,can we effectively re-duce the occurrence of ambiguous medical records.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of coptisine on endogenous metabolites in a dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-in-duced ulcerative colitis(UC)mouse model,and to explore its potential mechanisms of action employing non-targeted metabolomics technology.METHODS SPF-grade male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group,a model group,a sulfasalazine group(100 mg·kg-1),and low and high dose groups of coptisine groups(25,50 mg·kg-1).To induce ulcerative colitis(UC),all groups except the control group had free access to a 2.5%DSS solution for 7 days.At the same time,they also received daily intragastric ad-ministration of their corresponding treatments until the 10th day.Body weight changes,stool characteristics,and bloody stool occur-rence were recorded daily,and the disease activity index(DAI)was calculated.After the experiment,colon tissues were collected for pathological examination.Through UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS,non-targeted metabolomic analysis was performed to identify differential metabolites,and metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was conducted using the KEGG database.RESULTS Compared to the model group,coptisine significantly ameliorated weight loss,DAI scores,and pathological damage in colon tissues of UC mice(P<0.05,P<0.01).Metabolomic analysis identified 56 differential metabolites,mainly involved in purine metabolism,tryptophan metabo-lism,niacin and nicotinamide metabolism,glutathione metabolism,and the biosynthesis of phenylalanine,tyrosine,and tryptophan.Coptisine intervention significantly reversed the abnormal expression of these metabolites.CONCLUSION Coptisine can markedly improve metabolic disorders in DSS-induced UC mice by modulating multiple key metabolic pathways,thereby exerting a therapeutic effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage for brain abscess.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 53 patients with brain abscess admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2024.Among them,29 cases underwent craniotomy for abscess resection(craniotomy group),while 24 cases received neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage(robot-assisted group).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,decompressive craniectomy rate,proportion of postoperative antibiotic regimen adjustment,postoperative hospital stay,incidence of postoperative complications,mortality rate and Glasgow outcome scale(GOS)scores 6 months after surgery of patients were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the craniotomy group,the robot-assisted group demonstrated significantly shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,and lower incidence of postoperative complication,the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there were no statistically significant differences in terms of decompressive craniectomy rate,postoperative hospital stay,mortality rate,GOS score,or proportion of the postoperative antibiotic regimen adjustment between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion As a precise and minimally invasive surgical method,neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage for patients with brain abscess can effectively improve the operational efficiency,shorten the operation time,reduce intraoperative injury,and lower the risk of postoperative complications.It has high clinical application value and potential for widespread adoption.

Objective:To investigate the mediating role of perceived stress between frailty and major adverse cardio-vascular events(MACE)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in elderly patients with coronary heart dis-ease(CHD).Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to select 270 elderly patients who were first diagnosed as CHD and underwent PCI in Department of Cardiology,Cangzhou People's Hospital between October 2021 and February 2022.A comprehensive investigation was carried out using general demographic questionnaires,the Fried frailty phenotype scale,the Chinese version of perceived stress scale(CPSS),and follow-up question-naires.The association among frailty,CPSS score and MACE was analyzed using Logistic regression model.Bidi-rectional Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the association of CPSS score with frailty and MACE.The R 4.2.2 software was employed to examine the mediating effects of perceived stress on frailty.Results:Within one year after PCI,the incidence rate of MACE was 13.70％.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that frailty(OR=3.554,95％CI 1.332～9.485,P=0.011)and CPSS score(OR=1.095,95％CI 1.038～1.154,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for MACE in elderly CHD patients after PCI.Spearman correlation analy-sis indicated that CPSS score was positively correlated with frailty and MACE(r=0.506,0.346,P＜0.001 all).Perceived stress partially mediated the relationship between frailty and MACE after PCI,accounting for 38.03％of the total effect.Conclusion:Frailty may directly affect MACE in elderly CHD patients after PCI,and indirectly af-fect MACE through perceived stress.Clinically,the significant roles of both frailty and perceived stress in MACE should be fully considered,and early identification should be conducted for predictive interventions.

Purpose To construct and validate a risk prediction model for in-stent restenosis(ISR)nomogram in patients with superficial femoral artery stent implantation.Materials and Methods 150 cases of superficial femoral artery stent implantation patients who were hospitalized in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from February 2016 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Risk factors for ISR in patients with superficial femoral artery stent implantation were screened using univariate analysis,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and multifactorial Logistic regression analysis.Nomograms were produced,Bootstrap method was used for internal validation,consistency index was used for model differentiation assessment,and calibration graphs were used for calibration assessment.Results Fifty-five patients(36.7%)with ISR one year after superficial femoral artery stenting were identified.Univariate analysis,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and Logistic regression showed a history of stroke(OR=9.152,95%CI 2.957-28.322),chronic kidney disease(OR=14.639,95%CI 2.378-90.115),fibrinogen concentration(OR=8.422,95%CI 3.139-22.594),pre-procedural occlusion(OR=3.604,95%CI 1.446-8.981)and calcified plaque(OR=5.167,95%CI 2.044-13.059)were the best predictors of the occurrence of ISR one year post-procedure in patients with stenting of superficial femoral artery.The consistency index of the prediction model was 0.876(95%CI 0.812-0.939),with specificity and sensitivity of 93.6%and 70.9%,respectively;a Brie score of 0.124,and a consistency index after internal validation of the model of 0.859,respectively.Calibration plots showed that the ideal probability curves and the actual probability curves overlapped with each other well.Conclusion The Nomogram risk prediction model of superficial femoral artery stent restenosis constructed in this study has good differentiation and calibration,and is of good value for clinical prediction of ISR in patients with superficial femoral artery stent implantation.
