Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in differentiating tumor deposits (TDs) from metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) in rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with rectal cancer, including 168 lesions (70 TDs and 98 MLNs confirmed by histopathology), who underwent pretreatment MRI and subsequent surgery between March 2019 and December 2022. The morphological characteristics of TDs and MLNs, along with quantitative parameters derived from DCE-MRI (K trans , kep, and v e) and DWI (ADCmin, ADCmax, and ADCmean), were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Multivariable binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to assess the diagnostic performance of significant individual quantitative parameters and combined parameters in distinguishing TDs from MLNs. Results: All morphological features, including size, shape, border, and signal intensity, as well as all DCE-MRI parameters showed significant differences between TDs and MLNs (all P < 0.05). However, ADC values did not demonstrate significant differences (all P > 0.05). Among the single quantitative parameters, v e had the highest diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.772 for distinguishing TDs from MLNs. A multivariable logistic regression model incorporating short axis, border, v e, and ADC mean improved diagnostic performance, achieving an AUC of 0.833 (P = 0.027). Conclusion The combination of morphological features, DCE-MRI parameters, and ADC values can effectively aid in the preoperative differentiation of TDs from MLNs in rectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effects of naringin(NRG)on apoptosis,proliferation,migration and invasion of oral squa-mous cell carcinoma(OSCC)cells.Methods:NRG of 0,5,10,15,20,25 and 30 μmol/L was respectively used to treat OSCC CAL-27 cells,and CCK-8 assay was used to cell vitality.CAL-27 cells were divided into low,medium and high dose NRG groups(NRG-L,NRG-M and NRG-H),Compound C(AMPK inhibitor)group,NRG-H+Compound C group,and control group(NC group,normal cul-ture).Cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion were detected by CCK-8 assay,EdU staining,flow cytometry,scratch and Tr-answell assays.The expression of aspartate specific cysteine proteinase-3(Caspase-3),proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2),MMP-9,p-AMPK,sirtuin 1(SIRT1)and acetylated NF-κB p65(Ac-NF-κB p65)was detected by Western blot.Results:5,10 and 20 μmol/L NRG was selected as the low,medium and high dose for the treatment of CAL-27 cells,re-spectively.Compared with NC group,in NRG-L,NRG-M and NRG-H groups EdU positive rate,scratch healing rate,A450 value,num-ber of invasive cells,the protein expression of PCNA,MMP-2,MMP-9 and Ac-NF-κB p65 in CAL-27 cells decreased,the apoptosis rate,and the protein of Caspase-3,p-AMPK,and SIRT1 increased(P＜0.05);in Compound C group EdU positive rate,scratch healing rate,A450 value,the number of invasive cells,the protein expression of PCNA,MMP-2,MMP-9 and Ac-NF-κB p65 in CAL-27 cells in-creased,apoptosis rate and the protein expression of Caspase-3,p-AMPK and SIRT1 decreased(P＜0.05).Compound C reversed the effects of high dose NRG on the proliferation,migration,apoptosis and invasion of CAL-27 cells.Conclusion:The inhibitory effects of NRG on proliferation,migration and invasion of CAL-27 cells and the promotion of apoptosis may be related to activation of AMPK and inhibition of NF-κB pathway.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Objective To investigate the status of neurodevelopmental catch-up and suitable correction termination age in preterm infants of different gestational ages. Methods A total of 918 preterm infants without significant high-risk factors who attended the outpatient service of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 1,2018 to March 1,2023 were included. The data on developmental quotient (DQ) in Gesell Developmental Schedule (GDS) were collected,while 6684 full-term infants were included as controls. According to the gestational age,the infants were divided into preterm groups (early preterm,moderate preterm,and late preterm births) and a full-term group,and these groups were compared in terms of DQ of each functional area and its changing trend with 48 months of chronological age. Results The DQ values of all functional areas showed a catch-up trend from 6 months to 48 months of chronological age in each preterm group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the DQ values of all functional areas between the late preterm and full-term groups at the chronological age of 36 months (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the DQ values of most functional areas between the moderately/early preterm groups and the full-term group at the chronological age of 36 months (P<0.05),but no significant differences were found in the DQ values of all functions areas at the chronological age of 48 months (P>0.05). Conclusions The correction termination age for neurodevelopment in preterm infants may need to extend beyond 36 months,and the smaller the gestational age,the longer the time required for correction.

Objective To compare the effects of 20 mg qd and 10 mg bidadministration of iprrazole enteric-coated tablets on the control of gastric acid in healthy subjects.Methods A randomized,single-center,parallel controlled trial was designed to include 8 healthy subjects.Randomly divided into 2 groups,20 mg qd administration group:20 mg enteric-coated tablets of iprrazole in the morning;10 mg bid administration group:10 mg enteric-coated tablets of iprrazole in the morning and 10 mg in the evening.The pH values in the stomach of the subjects before and 24 h after administration were monitored by pH meter.The plasma concentration of iprazole after administration was determined by HPLC-MS/MS.The main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin(V8.0)software.Results The PK parameters of iprrazole enteric-coated tablets and reference preparations in fasting group were as follows:The Cmax of 20 mg qd group and 10 mg bid group were(595.75±131.15)and(283.50±96.98)ng·mL-1;AUC0-t were(5 531.94±784.35)and(4 686.67±898.23)h·ng·mL-1;AUC0-∞ were(6 003.19±538.59)and(7 361.48±1 816.77)h·ng·mL-1,respectively.The mean time percentage of gastric pH＞3 after 20 mg qd and 10 mg bid were 82.64％and 61.92％,and the median gastric pH within 24 h were 6.25±1.49 and 3.53±2.05,respectively.The mean gastric pH values within 24 h were 5.71±1.36 and 4.23±1.45,respectively.The correlation analysis of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics showed that there was no significant correlation between the peak concentration of drug in plasma and the inhibitory effect of acid.Conclusion Compared with the 20 mg qd group and the 10 mg bid group,the acid inhibition effect is better,the administration times are less,and the safety of the two administration regimes is good.
