This paper reported a case of juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma（JTOF） originating from the uncinate process. The main clinical manifestation was nasal obstruction and epiphora. Contrast-enhanced sinus CT revealed an irregular heterogeneous soft tissue mass centered in the right uncinate process, with involvement of the right anterior ethmoid sinus, maxillary sinus ostium, frontal process of the maxilla, and partial nasolacrimal duct. The solid components of the tumor demonstrated enhancement on contrast imaging. The patient underwent endoscopic resection of the right sinonasal tumor under general anesthesia. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of JTOF. No tumor recurrence was observed during the 3-month follow-up period.

Congenital orofacial cleft, the most common birth defect in the maxillofacial region, exhibits a wide range of prognosis depending on the severity of deformity and underlying etiology. Non-syndromic congenital orofacial clefts typically present with milder deformities and more favorable treatment outcomes, whereas syndromic congenital orofacial clefts often manifest with concomitant organ abnormalities, which pose greater challenges for treatment and result in poorer prognosis. This consensus provides an elaborate classification system for varying degrees of orofacial clefts along with corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines. Results serve as a crucial resource for families to navigate prenatal screening results or make informed decisions regarding treatment options while also contributing significantly to preventing serious birth defects within the development of population.

Objective To investigate the impact of forkhead box O1(FoxO1)on oxidative stress andcardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM)rats through Janus kinase(JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)pathway.Methods A total of 60 rats were divided into normal control group(NC),model group(Mod),FoxO1 agonist group(Res),FoxO1 inhibitor group(AS1842856)and FoxO1 inhibitor+AG490 group(AS1842856+AG490),with 12 rats in each group.DCM models were established in all groups except NC group.After successful modeling,they were given drugs,and the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)were tested.HE and Masson staining were used to detect the pathological damage of myocardial tissue.TUNEL staining was used to observe myocardial apoptosis.Western blot was used to detect FoxO1,Bim,Bcl-2 related X protein(Bax),p-JAK1,p-JAK2,p-STAT3,JAK1,JAK2 and STAT3 proteins.Results Compared with NC group,the expressions of FBG,MDA,cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate,FoxO1 protein,Bax protein and Bim protein were increased(P<0.05),while the expressions of HR,LVEF,LVFS,GSH-PX,SOD,p-JAK1/JAK1,p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 were increased in Mod group(P<0.05).Compared with Mod group,FBG,MDA,myocardial apoptosis rate,FoxO1 protein,Bax protein and Bim protein increased(P<0.05),while the expressions of HR,LVEF,LVFS,GSH-PX,SOD,p-JAK1/JAK1,p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 decreased in Res group(P<0.05).The expressions of HR,LVEF,LVFS,GSH-PX,SOD,p-JAK1/JAK1,p-JAK2/JAK2 and p-STAT3/STAT3 increased(P<0.05),while FBG,MDA,myocardial apoptosis rate,FoxO1 protein,Bax protein and Bim protein decreased in AS1842856 group(P<0.05).Compared with AS1842856 group,FBG,MDA,myocardial apoptosis rate,FoxO1 protein,Bax protein and Bim protein increased(P<0.05),and HR,LVEF,LVFS,GSH-PX,SOD,p-JAK1/JAK1,p-JAK2/JAK2,p-STAT3/STAT3 decreasedin AS1842856+AG490 group(P<0.05).Conclusions Inhibition of FoxO1 may exert a protective effect on DCM rats by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Zearalenone(ZEN)is a mycotoxin that extensively contaminates food and feed,posing a significant threat to public health.However,the mechanisms behind ZEN-induced intestinal immunotoxicity remain unclear.In this study,Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were exposed to ZEN at a dosage of 5 mg/kg/day b.w.for a duration of 14 days.The results demonstrated that ZEN exposure led to notable pathological alterations and immunosup-pression within the intestine.Furthermore,ZEN exposure caused a significant reduction in the levels of apolipoprotein E(ApoE)and liver X receptor(LXR)(P＜0.05).Conversely,it upregulated the levels of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)markers(P＜0.05)and decreased the presence of 27-hydroxycholesterol(27-HC)in the intestine(P＜0.05).It was observed that ApoE or LXR agonists were able to mitigate the immunosuppressive effects induced by ZEN.Additionally,a bioinformatics analysis highlighted that the downregulation of ApoE might elevate the susceptibility to colorectal,breast,and lung cancers.These find-ings underscore the crucial role of the 27-HC/LXR/ApoE axis disruption in ZEN-induced MDSCs proliferation and subsequent inhibition of T lymphocyte activation within the rat intestine.Notably,ApoE may emerge as a pivotal target linking ZEN exposure to cancer development.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of total saponins from Mussaenda pubescens， and to study the spectrum- effect relationship of its hepatoprotective activity. METHODS Ten batches of total saponins from M. pubescens from different origins were prepared using 75% ethanol as solvent. High-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） and the Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprints （2012 edition） were used to draw the fingerprints of 10 batches of total saponins from M. pubescens. The similarity evaluation and identification of common peaks were conducted. The same HPLC method was adopted to determine the contents of five triterpenoid saponins （mussaendoside H， mussaendoside U， mussaglaoside C， mussaendoside G and mussaendoside O）. The hepatoprotective effect of total saponins from M. pubescens was investigated by establishing carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver injury model mice， and the spectrum-effect relationship was studied by using grey correlation analysis. RESULTS There were 11 common peaks in 10 batches of total saponins from M. pubescens， 5 of which were identified， i.e. mussaendoside H （peak 3）， mussaendoside U （peak 7）， mussaglaoside C （peak 8）， mussaendoside G （peak 9） and mussaendoside O （peak 11）； the similarities of 10 batches of samples ranged 0.940- 0.991. Average contents of mussaendoside H， mussaendoside U， mussaglaoside C， mussaendoside G， mussaendoside O were 0.01- 0.05， 0.10-0.21， 0.10-0.18， 0.03-0.08， 0.20-0.40 mg/g， respectively. Ten batches of total saponins from M. pubescens could generally reduce the contents of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in serum， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-1β in liver tissue of model mice （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The E-mail：13878195336@139.com correlation between the common peak areas and the contents of ALT， AST， TNF-α， IL-6 and IL-1β were 0.602-0.757， 0.585-0.833， 0.593-0.795， 0.618-0.820， 0.607-0.804， respectively； the peaks with high correlation were peaks 11， 9 and 8 in order. CONCLUSIONS Ten batches of total saponins from M. pubescens have similar components， and the average contents of mussaendoside H， mussaendoside U， mussaglaoside C， mussaendoside G and mussaendoside O are different. The batches of samples have a certain degree of hepatoprotective effect； mussaendoside O， mussaendoside G and mussaglaoside C may be its main active components.

Objective To establish a method for measurement of ²³⁹Pu in fecal samples based on inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and to provide a novel method for assessing the internal exposure of workers. Methods Fecal samples were collected from workers and labeled. The samples were pretreated with carbonization ashing and microwave digestion devices, purified on TEVA resin, and measured using ICP-MS. Results The detection limit of ²³⁹Pu in fecal samples based on ICP-MS was 1.91 × 10⁻⁴ Bq. Conclusion In the routine monitoring of class S substances characterized by a 5 μm aerodynamic diameter during 12 months, the committed effective dose corresponding to the detection limit is 0.17 mSv. This value meets the requirements of relevant national standards and ICP-MS can be used as a novel means for accurate evaluation of internal exposure for workers.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and genotype of a patient with congenital systemic lip-odystrophy(CGL)type 1 associated with exudative xanthoma caused by AGPAT2 gene mutation,and to provide ev-idence for clinical and genetic diagnosis of the disease.Methods Clinical data of the patient such as medical histo-ry,physical examination and laboratory examination were collected.Peripheral venous blood was collected for whole exome sequencing analysis and Sanger sequencing verification,and treatment was provided to patients according to the changes of condition.Results The clinical manifestations of the patient were subcutaneous fat reduction,fatty liver,spleen enlargement,kidney enlargement,high blood sugar and lipids,severe insulin resistance,scattered yellow rash on limbs,which was confirmed as xanthoma.The results of whole exon sequencing showed that the AGPAT2 gene of the patient had a heterozygous nonsense mutation of c.202C＞T:p.R68?and c.646A＞T:p.K216?,and the former was the pathogenic mutation site.Follow-up therapy covers improvement of lifestyle,low-fat diet and regular exercise.The rashes subsided after active lipid-lowering therapy.Conclusions Apart from typical lipody-strophy,the patient was accompanied by exanthemous xanthoma.No CGL1 patient with exanthemous xanthoma has been reported in the domestic literature database up to now,and the genetic test results showed that there was a c.202C＞T heterozygous mutation of AGPAT2 gene.This gene site has not been reported in the literature,and its functional verification needs to be further studied.

Objective To preliminarily study and establish a method for measurement of the transuranic nuclide ²⁴¹Am in fecal samples, and to provide technical support for internal radiation monitoring of staff. Methods Fecal samples were collected with a self-made stool sampler and treated with a self-made carbonization and ashing furnace. DGA resin was used to separate and purify ²⁴¹Am from fecal samples. With ²⁴³Am as the tracer, the orthogonal method was used for condition optimization. Results The optimum conditions for separation and purification were: the acidity of HNO₃ added into the column, 6 mol/L; column flow rate, 0.6 mL/min; and the volume of analytical solution,12 mL. The method based on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry showed a detection limit of 9.79×10⁻⁴ Bq for ²⁴¹Am in fecal samples, which was satisfactory and feasible. Conclusion This method fills the vacancy of ²⁴¹Am measurement in fecal samples to some extent, which is of practical significance for internal radiation monitoring and protection for analysts.

Objective:To develop and validate a useful predictive model for large gestational age (LGA) in pregnancy using a machine learning (ML) algorithm and compare its performance with the traditional logistic regression model.Methods:Data were obtained from the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project in China, carried out in 220 counties of 31 provinces from 2010 to 2012, covering all rural couples with a planned pregnancy. This study included all teams of childbearing age who delivered newborns within 24-42 weeks of gestational age and their newborns. Ten different ML algorithms were used to establish LGA prediction models, and the prediction performance of these models was evaluated.Results:A total of 104 936 newborns were included, including 54 856 boys (52.3%) and 50 080 girls (47.7%). The incidence of LGA was 11.7% (12 279). The imbalance between the two groups was addressed by the under- sampling technique, after which the overall performance of the ML models was significantly improved. The CatBoost model achieved the highest area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.932. The logistic regression model had the worst performance, with an AUC of 0.555.Conclusions:In predicting the risk for LGA in pregnancy, the ML algorithms outperform the traditional logistic regression method. Compared to other ML algorithms, CatBoost could improve the performance, and it deserves further investigation.
