The translocator protein (TSPO) positron emission tomography (PET) can noninvasively detect neuroinflammation associated with epileptogenesis and epilepsy. This study explored the role of the TSPO-targeting radioligand [¹⁸F]F-TFQC, an m-trifluoromethyl ER176 analog, in the PET neuroimaging of epileptic rats. Initially, [¹⁸F]F-TFQC was synthesized with a radiochemical yield of 8%-10% (EOS), a radiochemical purity of over 99%, and a specific activity of 38.21 ± 1.73 MBq/nmol (EOS). After determining that [¹⁸F]F-TFQC exhibited good biochemical properties, [¹⁸F]F-TFQC PET neuroimaging was performed in epileptic rats at multiple time points in various stages of disease progression. PET imaging showed specific [¹⁸F]F-TFQC uptake in the right hippocampus (KA-injected site, i.e., epileptogenic zone), which was most pronounced at 1 week (T/NT 1.63 ± 0.21) and 1 month (T/NT 1.66 ± 0.20). The PET results were further validated using autoradiography and pathological analysis. Thus, [¹⁸F]F-TFQC can reflect the TSPO levels and localize the epileptogenic zone, thereby offering the potential for monitoring neuroinflammation and guiding anti-inflammatory treatment in patients with epilepsy.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis（LCH）is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm characterized by aberrant differentiation or proliferation of mononuclear phagocytes. Orbital involvement，termed orbital LCH（OLCH），typically presents with periorbital masses，eyelid edema，and localized osteolytic lesions. Besides，optic nerve involvement may cause diplopia，visual impairment and so on，significantly impairing quality of life. Central nervous system-Langerhans cell histiocytosis（CNS-LCH），including central diabetes insipidus and neurodegeneration，may cause irreversible sequelae such as diabetes insipidus，progressive tremor，and ataxia，severely impacting prognosis. Current management of OLCH and its association with CNS-LCH remain controversial.The Histiocyte Society considers OLCH to be one of the risk factors for CNS-LCH，and therefore should receive 6 months of systemic chemotherapy to prevent sequelae. However，conflicting evidence suggests an unclear relationship between OLCH and CNS-LCH progression，with studies demonstrating favorable outcomes in isolated orbital cases treated through localized approaches（surgical excision，curettage，or intralesional corticosteroid injection）.Patients with unifocal OLCH exhibit favorable prognosis and potential for spontaneous resolution，and may could spare from systemic chemotherapy to avoid related adverse effects.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of standard pulsed radiofrequency for treating rare-site glomus tumors.Methods A prospective self before-and-after control study was conducted and 6 pa-tients diagnosed as glomus tumors in the pain department of Yongkang Municipal First People's Hospital from June 2022 to January 2023 served as the study subjects.Among them,1 case was located in the outer beam of deltoid muscle in the upper arm,and 5 cases were located under the nail beds of the hands/feet.All subjects underwent the standard pulsed radiofrequency treatment under ultrasound guidance and were fol-lowed up for at least 12 months.The changes in the preoperative and postoperative Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)scores were observed,and the changes in the"typical triad",healing degree of the nail growth matrix and recurrence of pain were recorded.Results The postoperative follow-up results showed that all patients had significant decreases in NRS scores,indicating that the pain degree obtained the effective control.Among them,4 patients did not experience the pain recurrence after adopting the standard pulsed radiofrequency;1 pa-tient had pain recurrence in postoperative 6 months and the tumor body was ultimately removed by surgery.Apart from the patient 2 developing transient subungual congestion,no significant adverse events were observed.Conclusion The standard pulsed radiofrequency treatment is a safe and effective therapeutic method for pain caused by rare-site glomus tumors.

Objective: To analyze the risk factors of recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)，and establish a risk prediction model，so as to optimize the clinical detection and management of NMIBC. Methods: A total of 174 patients with initial diagnosis of NMIBC who underwent TURBT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University during Jan.2020 and Oct.2022 were followed up for 24 months，and were then divided into the recurrence group (n=74) and non-recurrence group (n=100).After univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression，risk factors of recurrence were identified，a nomogram was established，and the calibration curve was plotted，which was verified with receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: The 2-year recurrence rate was 42.53%.Logistic regression showed high body mass index (BMI)，poor differentiation，multiple tumors，and tumor diameter greater than 3 cm were risk factors of recurrence (P<0.05，OR≥1)，while immediate postoperative intravesical instillation was a protective factor (P<0.05).The C-index of the nomogram was 0.893 (95%CI:0.851-0.938)，the area of ROC curve (AUC) was 0.894 (95%CI：0.847-0.941)，the sensitivity was 82.4%，and the specificity was 83.0%. Conclusion: The prediction model based on BMI，tumor stage，grade，number，diameter，and immediate postoperative intravesical instillation fits well and can provide reference for predicting the risk of tumor recurrence.

Neutralizing antibodies have been designed to specifically target and bind to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of spike (S) protein to block severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus from attaching to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). This study reports a distinctive nanobody, designated as VHH21, that directly catalyzes the S-trimer into an irreversible transition state through postfusion conformational changes. Derived from camels immunized with multiple antigens, a set of nanobodies with high affinity for the S1 protein displays abilities to neutralize pseudovirion infections with a broad resistance to variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2, including SARS-CoV and BatRaTG13. Importantly, a super-resolution screening and analysis platform based on visual fluorescence probes was designed and applied to monitor single proteins and protein subunits. A spontaneously occurring dimeric form of VHH21 was obtained to rapidly destroy the S-trimer. Structural analysis via cryogenic electron microscopy revealed that VHH21 targets specific conserved epitopes on the S protein, distinct from the ACE2 binding site on the RBD, which destabilizes the fusion process. This research highlights the potential of VHH21 as an abzyme-like nanobody (nanoabzyme) possessing broad-spectrum binding capabilities and highly effective anti-viral properties and offers a promising strategy for combating coronavirus outbreaks.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of one-hole split endoscope (OSE) minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of single-segment thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF).Methods:This retrospective non-randomized controlled study included 41 patients with single-segment TOLF who underwent surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between July 2019 and July 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the OSE group (19 cases) treated with one-hole split endoscope minimally invasive surgery and the open group (22 cases) treated with traditional laminectomy and pedicle screw fixation. There were no significant differences between the two groups on gender, age, disease duration, affected segment, presence or absence of dural ossification, and residual cross-sectional vertebral canal area on CT ( P>0.05). Additionally, perioperative surgical time, estimated blood loss (EBL), incision length, hospital stay duration, hospitalization costs and follow-up duration were compared. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Complications were also recorded. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery with no significant differences at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Compared with the open group, the OSE group had a significantly shorter operative time (133.1±16.8 vs. 160.5±22.6 min), lower EBL (91.2±15.0 vs. 192.5±43.8 ml), shorter incision length (2.6±0.5 vs. 7.9±1.9 cm), reduced hospital stay (3.9±0.8 vs. 5.6±0.8 days), and lower hospitalization costs (34,874.9±4,568.6 vs. 53,162.3±9,815.6 yuan) (all P<0.05). AAt the final follow-up, JOA scores (8.5±0.8 vs. 8.6±1.2) and ODI values (16.7%±2.1% vs. 17.7%±4.4%) showed no significant differences between the OSE and open groups ( P>0.05). During the perioperative period and follow-up, complications occurred in 2 patients in the OSE group (1 cerebrospinal fluid leak, 1 poor wound healing) and in 8 patients in the open group (5 cerebrospinal fluid leaks, 1 neurological deterioration, 2 poor wound healing). Conclusion:OSE minimally invasive surgery is an effective treatment for single-segment thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum. Compared with open surgery, it provides advantages such as minimal invasiveness and fewer complications.

Objective To analyze the impact of the interval time(IT)between prostate biopsy(PB)and radical prostatectomy(RP)on the perioperative safety and prognostic efficacy of prostate cancer patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 87 patients who underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic RP at our hospitals during Jun.2022 to Nov.2024.The patients were divided into the IT ≤2 weeks group(n=42)and the IT ≥4 weeks group(n=45)according to the interval between PB and RP.Baseline data,perioperative indicators,postoperative inflammatory factors,postoperative pathological results,urinary continence,and complication rates were compared between the two groups.Results No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in baseline information,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative transfusion rate,postoperative hospital stay,catheter removal time,inflammatory factors and complications(P＞0.05).Pathological results showed no significant differences in cancer tissue proportion,positive rate of lymph node,positive rate of surgical margins,and postoperative Gleason scores(P＞0.05).However,the IT ≤2 weeks group exhibited significantly fewer cases of perineural invasion(25 vs.36,59.52％vs.80.00％)and vascular invasion(5 vs.12,11.90％vs.26.67％)compared to the IT≥4 weeks group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in postoperative urinary control rate and prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Radical prostatectomy performed ≤2 weeks after prostate biopsy demonstrates better safety and prognosis.
