ObjectiveGastrodia elata has evolved ecological types with shortened rhizome internodes and diversified flower and fruit coloration in response to different altitudes. Studying the genetic mechanisms of different ecotype germplasm is significant for guiding variety breeding in different cultivation areas. MethodsThe bHLH gene family was identified based on the whole-genome datasets of G. elata f. elata and G. elata f. glauca. Subsequently， the gene family members were subject to analysis， including gene structure， chromosomal localization， cis-acting elements， gene synteny， and phylogeny. Combined with transcriptome data and quantitative Real-time PCR， the expression patterns of bHLH genes in the stems of the different G. elata ecotype germplasm were analyzed. Finally， correlation analysis was conducted between gene expression patterns and color to obtain the key bHLH genes regulating the color formation of stem. ResultsA total of 63 bHLH genes were identified in both G elata f. elata and G. elata f. glauca， unevenly distributed across 17 chromosomes and clustered into 16 subfamilies， with significant expansion in some family members. Obvious inversions of bHLH genes on the same chromosome and interchromosomal translocations were detected in the two ecotype germplasm. Among these genes， 12 bHLH genes （such as bHLH62-3 and bHLH74） were associated with the bright yellow color of G elata f. elata stem， while 9 bHLH genes （such as PIL13， UNE12， and bHLH130） were correlated with the red color of G. elata f. glauca stem. Compared to G. elata f. glauca， the bHLH48 expression level was significantly higher in flowers and scale leaves of G elata f. elata， and the bHLH62-3 expression level was significantly higher in all organs of G elata f. elata. ConclusionsFunctional pathway divergence of the bHLH family members has occurred across different chromosomes in G elata f. elata and G. elata f. glauca. Through synergism or antagonism with other genes， 21 bHLH genes participate in the coloration metabolic pathway regulation of stems， flowers， and fruits. Specifically， bHLH62-3 is involved in regulating stem color differentiation in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway of G. elata， thus relevant to the color formation of stem. Additionally， GebHLH48 positively regulates flowering-related pathways to promote the early-flowering phenotype of G. elata f. elata. These findings have laid the foundation for analyzing the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying the color formation of the G. elata stem.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of extended abdominal wall resec-tion combined with reconstruction for abdominal wall aggressive fibromatosis (AF).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 70 patients with abdominal wall AF who were admitted to 3 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, between January 2009 and July 2024 were collected. There were 6 males and 64 females, aged (36±13)years. All patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. Comparisons of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1)Surgical situations. All 70 patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall recons-truction. The operation time was 90(91)minutes and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10(6)days. Of the 70 patients, 41 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus polypropylene mesh abdominal wall reconstruction, with a defect area of 60(54)cm2. The mesh placement method was uniformly Sublay repair. The remaining 29 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus direct suture repair, with a defect area of 34(31)cm2. There was a significant difference in the abdominal wall defect area between the two groups ( U=291.00, P<0.05). All 70 patients achieved R 0 resection. The distance from surgical margin to tumor edge was 2-3 cm in 39 cases and >3 cm in 31 cases. (2) Tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. All 70 patients were followed up for 78(90)months. During follow-up, 10 patients developed tumor recurrence (5 cases with mesh reinforced abdominal wall reconstruction and 5 cases with direct suture repair). Among them, one case was monitored, one case underwent radiotherapy, and neither received further surgical treatment. The remaining 8 patients underwent repeat R 0 resection, and no further recurrence occurred. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the patients with mesh reconstruction and patients with direct suture repair ( χ2=0.06, P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence rate was 9.7%(3/31) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge >3 cm, versus 17.9%(7/39) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge of 2-3 cm, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.97, P>0.05). Sixty patients had no tumor recurrence. During follow-up, none of the 70 patients developed incisional hernia. Two patients experienced postoperative wound infection, and 6 cases developed postoperative chronic pain. Conclusion:Extended abdominal wall resection combined with reconstruction is safe and feasible for abdominal wall AF.

Objective To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture at Baihui(GV20)point and Dazhui(GV14)point on cognitive function and potential mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease(AD)mice.Methods Forty-eight male five-transgenic familial Alzheimer's disease(5xFAD)mice were divided into four groups:empty vector group,knockdown group,empty vector+electroacupuncture group,and knockdown+electroacupuncture group.The knockdown group received Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2(ROCK2)knockdown via adeno-associated virus(AAV)microinjection technology.Knockdown efficiency was verified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and gene expression levels were confirmed by Western Blot.After 4 weeks of viral expression and transfection,electroacupuncture intervention at Baihui and Dazhui acupoints was administered for 4 weeks.Cognitive function was assessed using behavioral tests.Pathological products,inflammatory markers[interleukin 6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)],and changes in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected using immunofluorescence staining,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and Western Blot techniques.Results Compared with the empty vector group,the ROCK2 knockdown group showed significantly improved spatial and contextual memory(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),reduced amyloid deposition and inflammatory indicators(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and increased expression levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B(P-AKT)and phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(P-PI3K)(P＜0.01),while the knockdown+electroacupuncture group exhibited more pronounced effects than knockdown group(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Baihui point and Dazhui point can regulate ROCK2 to activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,improve cognitive impairment in AD mice,reduce Aβ deposition,and alleviate inflammatory responses.

Leukemia is a common malignant tumor of the blood system,and the accuracy of ICD coding plays a key role in medical record management and DRG grouping.Currently,in clinical practice,both French-American-British(FAB)classifi-cation and World Health Organization(WHO)classification are used for leukemia classification.With the introduction of MICM(morphology,immunology,genetics and molecular biology)technology,the leukemia classification system has become more re-fined,which also increases the complexity of medical record coding.Therefore,medical record coders need to keep up with the forefront of medical development,thoroughly understand the latest classification standards of leukemia,systematically summarize the coding points and ideas for myeloid leukemia,lymphoid leukemia and unclassified leukemia,and clarify the situation where leukemia is coded as the main diagnosis.In the context of DRG payment reform,clinical doctors should accurately fill in the dis-ease diagnosis and surgical operation information on the medical record cover,and when coding the medical record cover,the co-der needs to comprehensively consider the three principles of selecting the main diagnosis and the local DRG grouping rules to en-sure the accurate selection of the main diagnosis,thus improving the accuracy of DRG admission and providing a reliable basis for the rational allocation of medical resources.

Objective:To apply artificial intelligence（AI）in classifying ovarian tumors on ultrasound images，and compare the diagnostic results of several sonographers with varying seniority levels.Methods:A total of 645 patients diagnosed with adnexal masses via gynecological ultrasound examination at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2021 to December 2024 were enrolled. Three deep learning architectures，i.e.，Alexnet，Densenet121，and Resnet50 were developed and used to internally test the classification effectiveness of ovarian tumors，while the optimal model was selected for external testing. Two junior sonographers and two senior sonographers were recruited to independently diagnose ovarian tumors in the external test dataset. Subsequently，the benign and malignant results of the model's predictions were disclosed to each sonographer，and their revised diagnoses on the same external test data in combination with the best AI model were recorded.Results:The optimal model achieved an accuracy of 0.941，sensitivity of 0.936，and specificity of 0.944 on the internal test dataset，and maintained robust performance on the external test dataset with accuracy of 0.891，sensitivity of 0.880，and specificity of 0.907. Compared to junior sonographers，the optimal model demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity in discriminating benign from malignant ovarian tumors（0.880 vs. 0.723，0.602；all P<0.05）. No statistically significant difference was observed in diagnostic accuracy between the optimal model and senior sonographer 1（ P=0.05）. With assistance from the optimal model，junior sonographers achieved significant improvements in both sensitivity and specificity（sensitivity：0.723 vs. 0.843，0.602 vs. 0.819；specificity：0.778 vs. 0.833，0.685 vs. 0.741；all P<0.05）. Conclusions:The optimal model achieves comparable performance to that of senior sonographers in ovarian tumor classification. With model assistance，the diagnostic performance of junior sonographers is significantly improved.

Objective:To investigate the effect of titanium wire-absorbable suture dual line combined firm stitching technique in costal cartilage framework shaping for auricular reconstruction in congenital microtia patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 120 patients with congenital microtia who underwent auricular reconstruction surgery at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from January 2020 to December 2021. Among these, 86 were male and 34 were female, with an age range of 6-15 (8.5±2.1) years. All patients underwent auricular reconstruction using the expanded skin flap method, and the titanium wire-absorbable suture dual line combined firm stitching technique was used to construct a multi-layer three-dimensional autologous costal cartilage framework. Postoperative follow-up was conducted for 1 to 3 years to evaluate the morphology, stability, patient satisfaction, and occurrence of adverse reactions.Results:Of the 120 patients, 119 (99.2%) achieved primary healing. The reconstructed auricles were lifelike with clear substructures, and the long-term shape of the auricles remained stable without significant deformation. One patient developed a local skin infection and ulceration, leading to exposure of the cartilage framework, which was successfully repaired using a temporal fascia flap and free skin graft. A total of 85.8% (103/120) of the patients were satisfied with the postoperative results, 13.3% (16/120) rated the outcome as average, and 0.8% (1/120) were dissatisfied. No cases of hematoma or flap necrosis were observed in any of the patients.Conclusion:The costal cartilage framework, constructed using the titanium wire-absorbable suture dual line combined firm stitching technique, demonstrates good clinical effects for auricular reconstruction with no severe adverse reactions.
