Objective:To evaluate the technical feasibility and perioperative safety of pyeloplasty assis-ted by the CarinaTM modular laparoscopic surgical robotic system in patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction(UPJO).Methods:From November to December 2024,five consecutive patients diagnosed with UPJO underwent robot-assisted pyeloplasty using the CarinaTM modular laparoscopic surgical system at Peking University First Hospital.Data on patient demographics,intraoperative parameters(including docking time,console time,and estimated blood loss),perioperative outcomes,follow-up results,and surgeons' subjective evaluations of system performance were prospectively collected.Descriptive statistics were used;continuous variables were presented as median(range),and categorical variables as frequen-cy and percentage.Results:The cohort included four females and one male.All the patients successfully completed the robotic procedure without conversion to open or conventional laparoscopic surgery.The me-dian age was 32 years(24-37 years),and the median body mass index was 21.6 kg/m2(15.8-27.3 kg/m2).The median docking time was 8 min(3-12 min),and the median console time was 91 min(71-125 min).Intraoperative blood loss was uniformly 20 mL.The median postoperative drainage du-ration was 3 d(0-4 d),and the median length of hospital stay was 4 d(4-9 d).No Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ or higher complications occurred.All the patients had their double-J stents removed at 2 months postoperatively,and pain in the ipsilateral flank,reported preoperatively by all the five patients,was al-leviated.The subjective surgical success rate was 100％.Surgeons reported stable system performance throughout all the procedures,with no instances of mechanical arm interference or visual drift affecting surgical fluency.Conclusion:Preliminary findings indicate that pyeloplasty using the domestically deve-loped CarinaTM modular laparoscopic robotic system is technically feasible and perioperatively safe for the treatment of UPJO.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF),25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D]and cognitive function in patients with vestibular migraine(VM).Methods A total of 200 patients with VM were selected and used as the VM group.Based on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)criteria,patients were divided into the cognitively normal group(128 cases)and the cognitively impaired group(72 cases).Additionally,200 healthy individuals undergoing routine health examination were selected as the control group.Serum MIF and 25(OH)D levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors of cognitive impairment in VM patients.The value of serum MIF and 25(OH)D levels in diagnosing cognitive impairment in patients with VM was analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum MIF was higher in the VM group than that of the control group,and serum 25(OH)D was lower in the VM group(P＜0.05).The serum MIF was higher in the cognitive impairment group than that of the cognitive normal group,while the serum 25(OH)D was lower in the cognitive impairment group than that of the cognitive normal group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression found that increased serum MIF level and decreased 25(OH)D level were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in VM patients(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC(95%CI)of the combined diagnosis of cognitive impairment in VM patients using serum MIF and 25(OH)D levels was 0.900(0.850-0.938),which was higher than that of MIF diagnosed alone[0.797(0.735-0.851)]and 25(OH)D alone[0.817(0.756-0.868),P＜0.05].Conclusion VM patients with cognitive impairment have elevated serum MIF levels and decreased 25(OH)D levels.The combined diagnostic value of the two markers has a relatively high value for VM patients with cognitive impairment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Zuoguiwan on the ovarian function in the rat model of cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian failure （POF） based on the changes of ferroptosis pathway. MethodForty SD rats were randomized into blank， model， and low- and high-dose （2， 8 g·kg^-1， respectively） Zuoguiwan groups， with 10 rats in each group. The rats in the other groups except the normal group were intraperitoneally injected with CTX at a dose of 50 mg·kg^-1 on the first day and 8 mg·kg^-1 from the second day to the fifteenth day for the modeling of POF. After modeling， the rats were administrated with corresponding drugs or normal saline by gavage for four weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the ovarian tissue. The mitochondria of the ovarian tissue was observed by electron microscopy. The serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， estradiol （E₂）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， anti-Mullerian hormone （AMH）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， catalase （CAT）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， and iron ion were measured by biochemical methods and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， ferritin heavy chain （FTH1）， and acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 （ACSL4）. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showcased significantly increased atretic follicles， atrophied， fragmented， and vacuolated mitochondria， and reduced， loose， and disordered cristae in mitochondria. Compared with the model group， high-dose Zuoguiwan increased mature follicles， the volume of mitochondria in the ovary， alleviated the vacuolation， and improved the number and arrangement of mitochondrial cristae. Compared with the blank group， the modeling elevated the levels of iron， MDA， FSH， and LH， up-regulated the expression of GPX4， SLC7A11， and FTH1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased the activities of SOD and CAT， lowered the levels of E₂ and AMH， and down-regulated the expression of ACSL4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， drug interventions lowered the levels of iron， MDA， FSH， and LH， down-regulated the expression of GPX4， SLC7A11， and FTH1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased the activity of CAT， elevated the levels of E₂ and AMH， and up-regulated the expression of ACSL4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionZuoguiwan may inhibit the occurrence of ferroptosis by regulating the SLC7A11/GPX4 axis， thereby improving the ovarian function of POF rats.

Objective:To construct and purify four respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) PreF proteins through gene sequence design and optimization and evaluate their immunogenicity.Methods:Coronin-1A and T4 trimer protein gene sequences were optimized with Human and CHO codons, and then added to RSV F protein sequence. The above plasmids were transfected into Expi293F cells for protein expression. After purification by nickel column, four trimer proteins were prepared. SDS-PAGE and Western blot were performed for protein identification. BALB/c mice were immunized at week 0 and week 3, and blood samples were collected to measure the activities of binding and neutralizing antibodies in serum.Results:SDS-PAGE and Western blot showed that the four proteins had stable trimer structure. Antigen-antibody affinity test showed that the four trimer proteins had strong affinity with RSV-specific monoclonal antibodies 8897, D25, Motavizumab, AM14 and Palivizumab. The titers of antibodies induced by the two T4 trimers were higher after the initial immunization, while there was a substantial increase in the titers of antibodies induced by Human codon-optimized trimer protein after the second immunization.Conclusions:PreF trimer protein can be prepared by adding any of the two different heterotrimer motifs, and induce effective binding and neutralizing antibodies in mice.

Objective:To compare the immunogenicity of the prefusion (PreF) and postfusion (PostF) conformations of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) F protein.Methods:The expression of PreF and PostF recombinant proteins was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The binding affinity between F protein and its specific antibodies was detected by Octet. The binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies in immune serum were detected after immunizing mice with PreF or PostF recombinant protein.Results:PreF protein was stable in the form of a trimer after modification with higher binding affinity with monoclonal antibodies such as D25, 8897, AM14, Palivizumab and Motavizumab. PostF protein lacked the antigenic site ? and showed a monomer conformation. Besides, it was unable to bind to D25, 8897 and AM14 antibodies. Animal experiments showed that AS01 adjuvant was better than aluminum adjuvant in inducing binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against RSV Long strains. The binding antibodies induced by PreF and PostF recombinant proteins had similar binding ability to PreF protein, while the binding antibodies induced by PostF recombinant protein showed stronger binding ability to PostF than to PreF.Conclusions:PreF has more epitopes and the trimer form of PreF recombinant protein after modification is more stable and can induce stronger neutralizing antibodies. Moreover, the immunopotentiating effect of AS01 adjuvant is better than that of aluminum adjuvant. Therefore, stabilization-based trimer structure modification of PreF and the development of adjuvants are crucial for the development of RSV vaccines.

Objective To identify the potential long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expressed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium key to RA onset and investigate its association with immune cell infiltration. Methods RA synovium data were downloaded from the GEO database and normalized. The lncRNAs key to RA onset were identified using multiple machine learning methods. Infiltration of 22 immune cell populations in RA synovium was measured by cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts (CIBER-SORT). The relationship between the key lncRNA and infiltrating immune cells was analyzed. Finally, real-time quantitative PCR was applied to validate the expression of the key lncRNA in RA synovial cells. Results lncRNA human leukocyte antigen complex P5(HCP5) was identified as the key lncRNA associated with RA onset. Infiltration analysis revealed increased abundance of CD8⁺ T cells, γδ T cells, and M1 macrophages while decreased abundance of M2 macrophages in RA synovial tissue. Correlation analysis demonstrated that the lncRNA HCP5 expression was positively associated with the infiltration abundance of CD8⁺ T cells, γδ T cells, and M1 macrophages in RA synovial tissue. Furthermore,the expression of lncRNA HCP5 in RA synovial cells was up-regulated. Conclusion lncRNA HCP5 expression is up-regulated in RA synovial tissue and potentially associated with immune cells infiltration.
