Objective:To analyze the value of abdominal CT angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional reconstruction fusion technology for larger (2 - 5 cm) gastric submucosal tumors (SMT) in the preoperative evaluation of super minimally invasive surgery(SMIS).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted, collecting data from 20 patients with gastric SMTs measuring 2 - 5 cm in diameter who were hospitalized in the the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2023 to December 2024. All patients underwent abdominal CTA prior to SMIS, and three-dimensional reconstructions of the tumors were performed. Clinical data were collected to analyze the visualization of the tumors and surrounding blood vessels in the fused three-dimensional images and the corresponding surgical plans.Results:In 19 cases, the abdominal CTA and three-dimensional imaging clearly and intuitively displayed the anatomical structures surrounding the tumors and provided panoramic images of small blood vessels around the tumors, enabling the selection of appropriate surgical plans. One case required conversion to laparoscopic surgery due to the intraoperative discovery of a small artery.Conclusions:The abdominal CTA examination and gastric SMT three dimensional reconstruction before SMIS can better display the anatomical location of the tumor and its relationship with surrounding small blood vessels, which is beneficial for gastroenterologists to formulate surgical plans and facilitate the smooth progress of SMIS under endoscopy.

Objective Exploring alterations in regional homogeneity(ReHo)in the brain of adolescents with depression and suicide attempts.Methods Adolescent patients with depression were included.Those with at least one suicide attempt within one year were classified as the suicide attempt group(32 cases),and those without suicide attempts within one year were classified as the non-suicide attempt group(33 cases).Additionally,a healthy control group(31 individuals)was included.All subjects underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)scans,and the ReHo values were calculated.The severity of depressive symptoms and the suicide risk were evaluated using the patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9)and the mini-international neuropsychiatric interview(MINI)suicide scale,respectively.The ReHo values were compared across groups,and the correlations between ReHo values in distinct brain regions and the PHQ-9 and the MINI suicide scales were analyzed.Results Compared with the healthy control group,the ReHo values in the right and left thalamus,right and left precentral gyrus were decreased in the suicide attempt group(voxel level P<0.001,cluster level P<0.05,GRF corrected),while the ReHo value in the right superior temporal gyrus was increased(voxel level P<0.001,cluster level P<0.05,GRF corrected).Compared with the healthy control group,the ReHo values in the right midbrain and the right thalamus were decreased in the non-suicide attempt group(voxel level P<0.001,cluster level P<0.05,GRF corrected),while the ReHo values in the left middle frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,and right superior frontal gyrus were increased(voxel level P<0.001,cluster level P<0.05,GRF corrected).Compared with the non-suicide attempt group,the ReHo values in the right medial and paracingulate gyrus were decreased in the suicide attempt group(voxel level P<0.001,cluster level P<0.05,GRF corrected).ReHo values in the right superior temporal gyrus of the suicide attempt group showed a positive correlation with PHQ-9 scores(r=0.407,P=0.026).Conclusion Reduced ReHo values in the right medial and paracingulate gyrus at rest in the group with suicide attempt depression may be a potential neural mechanism for suicide in adolescent depressed patients.

Objective :
To explore the role and mechanism of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) in inflammatory bow- el disease (IBD) in mice.
Methods :
All mice were divided into three groups : the control group was fed normally ; the DSS model group was fed with 2. 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution ; the DSS + 25-HC experimental group was fed with 2. 5% DSS solution and he mice in the experimental group were intraperitoneally injected with 25-HC.The symptom changes of the mice were evaluated by assessing the disease activity index(DAI) ,and the tis- sue changes were judged by histological scoring.The expression of interleukin-17 and its signaling pathways in the mice were detected by Western blot,qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry /fluorescence,and flow cytometry.Combined with the detection of tight junction proteins in the intestinal epithelium of the mice,the mechanism by which 25-HC affects IBD in mice was explored.
Results :
In comparison to the DSS control group,The DSS + 25-HC experimen- tal group mice exhibited a reduction in body weight ( F = 30. 1,P <0. 000 1) ,a shortened colon ( F = 63. 8,P < 0. 05) ,and elevated DAI(F = 774. 5,P<0. 000 1) and histopathological scores(F = 141. 5,P<0. 05) .Addition- ally,the expression of tight junction-associated proteins(ZO-2,Occludin,JAM and Claudin-4) was found to be sig- nificantly reduced.The level of IL-17 significantly decreased,and its expression level was positively correlated with tight junction proteins.
Conclusion
25-HC inhibited IL-17 production by colonic γδ T cells through the RORγt pathway,aggravated mucosal injury,and promoted the development of DSS-induced acute colitis in mice.

A porous composite scaffold is prepared through freeze-drying method using sodium alginate as the matrix and calcium citrate double salt as the functional enhancer.To thoroughly investigate the structure and properties of the composite scaffold,advanced instruments including Fourier transform infrared spectrometer,X-ray diffractometer,scanning electron microscope,and thermogravimetric analyzer are utilized for comprehensive structural characterization.Meanwhile,key properties such as porosity,mechanical performance,swelling ratio,gel fraction,and in vitro degradation rate are systematically tested and analyzed.The results show that the composite of sodium alginate and calcium citrate double salt is a physical complex.The porosity of the scaffold mainly ranges from 200 to 600 μm,and as the addition of double salt increases,the pore size firstly increases and then slightly decreases,while the pore distribution become more uneven.In terms of mechanical properties,with the gradual increase of the content of double salt in the scaffold,the mechanical properties of the scaffold are significantly improved.However,its swelling ratio and gel fraction exhibit decreasing trends.Additionally,the degradation rate of the alginate scaffold is relatively fast,while the addition of calcium citrate double salt does not significantly improve the degradation rate.This study not only provides valuable insights into the preparation and property research of porous composite scaffold composed of sodium alginate/calcium citrate double salt,but also offers important reference for their potential applications in biomedicine.
