[摘 要] 目的:探究甘氨胆酸(GCA)对肺腺癌A549细胞移植瘤小鼠放射治疗敏感性的影响及其机制。方法:建立A549人肺腺癌细胞裸鼠移植瘤模型,随机分为移植瘤对照组(对照组)、GCA组、放疗组(RT组)和GCA + 放疗组(GCA + RT组)。RT组和GCA + RT组接受单次10 Gy照射,GCA组及GCA + RT组连续7 d每日灌胃GCA 280 mg/kg。间隔2 d测量1次移植瘤体积,末次给药后处死小鼠并取移植瘤组织,检测移植瘤组织中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)与谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性,qPCR法和WB法分别检测放疗关键基因(MCM6、ITGA6、CASP3等)mRNA和蛋白表达水平,H-E染色观察移植瘤组织的形态变化。通过GEO(GSE276500、GSE294906、GSE218171)及TCGA数据库数据验证放疗关键基因。结果:GCA单用对瘤体生长有一定抑制作用,但联合放疗的GCA + RT组相比单纯放疗组表现出放疗抵抗的效应(P < 0.05)。GCA处理显著提高移植瘤组织SOD活性(P < 0.01)、降低GSH-Px活性(P < 0.01),提示GCA可改变移植瘤抗氧化酶平衡,减弱放疗诱导的氧化应激。GCA干预上调移植瘤组织中MCM6与ITGA6 mRNA表达、下调CASP3 mRNA表达(均P < 0.05)。GCA + RT组移植瘤组织中的MCM6蛋白表达显著高于对照组(P < 0.05)。H-E染色显示,GCA组部分瘤组织坏死,而GCA + RT组坏死组织面积较RT组有所缩小。GEO和TCGA数据库验证支持MCM6、ITGA6高表达与放疗抵抗和预后不良相关。结论:GCA通过增强SOD活性、降低GSH-Px活性并上调ITGA6、MCM6的表达改变氧化应激与关键信号网络,从而削弱A549移植瘤对放疗的敏感性。

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Huayu Tongluo Formula (化瘀通络方, HTF) in patients with mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome and explore its potential mechanisms. MethodsA multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. Ninety patients of mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome were divided into a control group of 46 cases and a treatment group of 44 cases. Both groups received conventional western medicine treatment, the treatment group additionally taking HTF, while the control group taking a placebo of the formula. The treatment was administered once daily for 24 weeks. The primary outcomes included 24-hour urine total protein (24 h-UTP), serum albumin (Alb), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and serum creatinine (Scr).The secondary outcomes included changes in levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on TCM syndrome scores and overall disease outcomes. Adverse reactions and endpoint events were recorded. ResultsIn the treatment group after treatment, 24 h-UTP, ET-1, and VEGF levels significantly decreased (P<0.05), Alb and NO levels significantly increased (P<0.05); while the TCM syndrome scores for edema, lumbar pain, numbness of limbs, dark purple lips, dark purple tongue or purpura, and thin, rough pulse all significantly decreased (P<0.05). In the control group, no significant changes were observed in any of the indicators after treatment (P>0.05).Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed significant reductions in 24 h-UTP, ET-1, and VEGF levels, and increases in Alb and NO levels (P<0.05). The TCM syndrome scores for edema, lumbar pain, dark purple tongue or purpura, and thin, rough pulse were all lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of TCM syndrome in the treatment group was 59.09% (26/44), and the overall clinical effective rate was 45.45% (20/44). In the control group, these rates were 15.22% (7/46) and 8.7% (4/46), respectively, with the treatment group showing significantly better outcomes (P<0.05). A total of 7 adverse events occurred across both groups, with no significant difference (P>0.05). No endpoint events occurred during the study. ConclusionOn the basis of conventional treatment of Western medicine, HTF can further reduce urinary protein levels and improve clinical symptoms in patients with mid-stage diabetic kidney disease of blood stasis syndrome. The mechanism may be related to its effects on endothelial function.

Objective:To investigate the impact of tumor origin (ventral pancreatic origin and dorsal pancreatic origin) on prognosis in patients with pancreatic head cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 150 patients with pancreatic head cancer who received surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Naval Medical University from October 2014 to December 2017. Among these patients, 92 were male and 58 were female, aged (61.2±8.8) years. The 150 patients were divided into two groups based on tumor origin: the ventral pancreatic cancer group ( n=72) and the dorsal pancreatic cancer group ( n=78). A comparative analysis of clinical, pathological, and imaging charac-teristics was conducted between the two groups. Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between pancreatic head cancer origin and overall survival (OS). Results:Patients with pancreatic head carcinoma arising from the ventral and dorsal pancreas accounted for 48%(72/150) and 52%(78/150) of the study cohort, respectively. Pancreatic head carcinoma arising from the dorsal pancreas were more likely to show pathological features of pancreatic parenchymal atrophy [73.1%(57/78) vs. 47.2%(34/72), χ2=10.49, P=0.001] and pancreatitis [44.9%(35/78) vs. 29.2%(21/72), χ2=3.95, P=0.047]. In contrast, patients with pancreatic head carcinoma arising from the ventral pancreas was more frequently associated with contact with the superior mesenteric artery [25.0%(18/72) vs. 1.3%(1/78), χ2=19.04, P<0.001], perineural invasion [100%(72/72) vs. 88.5%(69/78), χ2=8.84, P=0.003], and positive surgical margins [15.3%(11/72) vs. 2.6%(2/78), χ2=7.65, P=0.006], with all differences statistically significant. The ventral pancreatic cancer group demonstrated cumulative survival rates of 33.2% and 0 at 1-year and 2-year postoperative intervals, respectively, while the dorsal pancreatic cancer group exhibited rates of 56.7% and 24.8% at the corresponding timepoints. Comparison of Kaplan-Meier survival curves between the two groups showed a statistically significant difference ( χ2=6.00, P=0.014). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis identified dorsal pancreatic origin pancreatic head cancer as an independent predictor of increased mortality risk compared to ventral origin tumors ( HR=2.75, 95% CI: 1.52-4.98, P=0.001). Conclusion:The embryonic origin of pancreatic head cancer determines its clinical, pathological, and imaging heterogeneity, and pancreatic head cancer arising from the ventral pancreas demonstrates significantly worse prognostic outcomes compared to dorsal pancreatic origin.

Objective:To develop a preoperative CT-based radiomics model integrating multidimensional features for the accurate prediction of TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma(TFE3-rRCC).Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled 865 pathologically confirmed renal cell carcinoma(RCC)patients in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2013 to June 2023,including 60 cases of TFE3-rRCC and 805 cases of non-TFE3 RCC(comprising clear cell RCC,papillary RCC,and chromophobe RCC). Among them,627 were male and 238 were female,with a mean age of(54.1 ± 12.7)years(range:14?82 years). The median maximum tumor diameter was 4.0(2.6,6.0)cm. Based on the chronological order of CT examinations,the patients were divided into training( n=478),validation( n=206),and test( n=181)sets in an approximate 6∶2∶2 ratio. Using precontrast and corticomedullary phase CT images,we extracted peritumoral imaging features,habitat features,3D radiomic features,and 2.5D deep learning radiomic features. A deep learning radiomics score(DLR-SCORE)prediction model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression. The diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis,with the area under the curve(AUC)as the primary metric. Additionally,sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy were calculated based on the confusion matrix. Results:A total of 12 442 features were extracted from non-contrast and corticomedullary phase CT images,from which eight key features were selected to construct the DLR-SCORE model. The model demonstrated diagnostic accuracies for TFE3-rRCC of 98.5%(471/478)in the training set,81.6%(168/206)in the validation set,and 86.2%(156/181)in the test set. The AUC of ROC curve was 0.98(95% CI 0.96?1.00)in the training set,0.83(95% CI 0.71?0.94)in the validation set,and 0.88(95% CI 0.76?1.00)in the test set. In the test set,the DLR-SCORE model achieved a sensitivity of 88.9%(16/18)and a specificity of 85.9%(140/163)for detecting TFE3-rRCC. Conclusions:The DLR-SCORE model integrating multidimensional CT radiomics features demonstrated favorable predictive performance for TFE3-rRCC,offering a promising noninvasive tool to assist preoperative diagnosis.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:A prognosis prediction model for pancreatic cancer was constructed based on multi-scale radiomics combined with deep learning, and the prediction effect of the model was evaluated.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 215 patients who underwent radical resection of pancreatic cancer at the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2017 to December 2017. Among them, 134 were male and 81 were female, with an age of (61.9±9.2) years. Patients were randomly divided into the training set ( n=151) and the test set ( n=64) in a ratio of 7: 3. Habitat features, peritumoral radiomics features, 3D radiomics features, and 2.5D deep learning features were extracted from preoperative CT images respectively. After feature screening, a survival prediction model was constructed using the CoxBoost machine learning algorithm that integrated the Boosting algorithm and the Cox proportional hazards model. The performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve and the consistency index. The clinical benefits of the model were evaluated using decision curve analysis. The survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used for the comparison of survivals between groups. Results:The LASSO, random forest and extreme gradient boosting models were each used to screen out the top 10 most important features and take the union, ultimately obtaining 20 radiomics features for modeling. In the training set and test set, the consistency index of the CoxBoost model in predicting overall survival was 0.717 (95% CI: 0.669-0.765) and 0.688 (95% CI: 0.610-0.766), respectively, and the area under the curve for predicting overall survival at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery was 0.830 (95% CI: 0.752-0.898), 0.753 (95% CI: 0.665-0.833), 0.828 (95% CI: 0.735-0.908) and 0.690 (95% CI: 0.549-0.824), 0.780 (95% CI: 0.649-0.887 and 0.793 (95% CI: 0.660-0.897), respectively. The area under the curve for predicting long-term survival after surgery (≥40 months) was above 0.8. Based on the optimal cutoff value of -0.19 for the predicted value of the CoxBoost model calculated by the R package " survminer", the patients were divided into high-risk (predicted value >-0.19) and low-risk (predicted value <-0.19) groups. In both the training set and the test set, the survival of patients in the low-risk group was better than that in the high-risk group (training set: χ2=39.01, P<0.001; test set: χ2=12.34, P<0.001). The median survival period of patients in the high-risk group was lower than that in the low-risk group (training set: 15.80 vs 34.07 months; test set: 16.87 vs 43.07; months). Decision curve analysis shows that patients obtain survival benefit when the threshold probability of the training set is greater than 0.25 and that of the test set is greater than 0.45. Conclusion:The CoxBoost model has a good predictive ability for the overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients after surgery and can effectively screen out patient subgroups that may significantly benefit from surgical treatment.
