ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of polysaccharide in water extract of Cyclocarya paliurus （CPWP） in inhibiting benign prostatic hyperplasia （BPH）. MethodsCPWP was obtained by heating reflux， aqueous extraction， alcohol precipitation， and freeze drying. The chemical composition and structural properties of CPWP were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with 1-pheny-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone pre-column derivatization and infrared spectroscopy. Male SD rats were randomly assigned into control， model， finasteride （ig 5 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （ig 50， 75， 100 mg·kg^-1） CPWP groups， with 8 rats in each group. The BPH model was established by subcutaneously injecting propionate testosterone in castrated rats. The rats in the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding drugs， and those in the control group were administrated with an equal volume of normal saline each day. After 30 consecutive days， the rats were sacrificed， and the prostate tissue was separated and weighed. The effects of drug interventions on the body weight， prostate wet weight， and prostate index of rats were examined. The prostate tissue was stained with hematoxylin-eosin （HE） for observation of pathological changes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the level of dihydrotestosterone （DHT）， and immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2 （SRD5A2） and Ki67 in the prostate tissue. ResultsCPWP was identified as a saccharide， with characteristic absorption peaks of saccharides. CPWP showed the total sugar content of 44.15% and molecular weight within the range of 5.5-78.8 kDa， being composed of mannose， rhamnose， galacturonic acid， glucose， galactose， xylose， and arabinose. Compared with the control group， the model group had significantly increased prostate wet weight and prostate index （P<0.01）， thick and tall prostate epithelial cells， increased internal wrinkles， papillary expansion into the cavity， an elevation in DHT level in the serum， and up-regulated expression of SRD5A2 and Ki67 in the prostate tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， both the finasteride and CPWP groups showed decreases in prostate wet weight and prostate index （P<0.05， P<0.01）， thinned prostate epithelial cells， with only a small portion of internal wrinkles and papillary expansion into the cavity， shortened papillary protrusions， lowered DHT level in the serum， and down-regulated expression of SRD5A2 and Ki67 in the prostate tissue （P<0.01）. Moreover， CPWP exerted effects in a dose-dependent manner. ConclusionCPWP inhibits BPH by regulating the expression of SRD5A2.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of reduction robot system combined with minimally invasive, microenvironmental protection, micro-stress shielding fixator (short for "3M fixator") for Sanders types II and III calcaneal fractures.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 26 patients (26 feet) with calcaneal fractures admitted to Fourth Affiliated Central Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from June 2022 to June 2024, including 21 males and 5 females, aged 27-69 years [(46.5±2.5)years]. Among them, 10 patients had fractures in the left foot and 16 in the right. According to the Sanders classification, the fractures were classified as type II in 16 patients and type III in 10. All the patients were treated with the close reduction with reduction robot system combined with 3M fixator in a minimally invasive procedure. The surgical waiting time, operative duration, and fracture healing time were recorded. The length, width and height of the calcaneus, B?hler′s angle and Gissane′s angle were compared before operation and at 1, 3 months after operation. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score before operation and at 1, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up were detected. The postoperative complications were recorded.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-12 months [(9.7±1.1)months]. The surgical waiting time was 1-4 days [(2.0±0.8)days]. The operative duration was 36-66 minutes [(53.2±9.5)minutes]. All the fractures achieved primary union with a healing period of 3-4 months [(3.2±0.4)months]. At 1, 3 months after operation, the length of the calcaneus [(83.3±3.7)mm and (83.6±3.6)mm], width of the calcaneus [(44.3±5.8)mm and (44.3±5.7)mm], height of the calcaneus [(50.1±3.8)mm and (50.3±3.6)mm], B?hler′s angle [(29.8±2.9)° and (29.8±3.0)°], and Gissane angle [(121.1±6.7)° and (123.9±5.9)°] were significantly improved compared with those before operation [(79.3±4.5)mm, (53.6±4.1)mm, (46.2±3.7)mm, (18.9±3.8)°, (109.0±7.5)°, respectively] ( P<0.05), with no significant differences between those indicators at 1, 3 months after operation ( P>0.05). The VAS scores were (3.2±0.6)points, (1.9±0.5)points, and (1.6±0.3)points at 1, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up, which were lower than (7.1±0.5)points preoperatively and decreased with the prolongation of follow-up time ( P<0.05). The AOFAS scores were (73.5±6.9)points, (90.1±4.3)points, and (92.0±3.6)points, which were higher than (32.0±4.6)points preoperatively and increased with the follow-up time ( P<0.05). One patient had lateral calcaneal pain after operation, and was alleviated after rehabilitation. No complications such as infection or nonunion were found after operation. Conclusion:The reduction robot system combined with 3M fixator for Sanders types II and III calcaneal fractures demonstrates significant clinical advantages, such as reduced surgical waiting time and operative duration, promoted fracture healing, early alleviated pain, enhanced ankle joint functional recovery, and decreased complication occurrence.

Objective:To analyze the results of next generation sequencing (NGS) gene testing in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma cavity and evaluate the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment.Methods:Liquid based cytological specimens of 222 cases of lung adenocarcinoma with cavity effusion and 201 cases of metastatic lymph node biopsy were collected. Specimens were obtained from the Cytology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The collection period was from January 2018 to December 2022. The results of NGS gene detection were compared. The clinical efficacy of 91 patients treated with EGFR-TKI was evaluated, and the survival curve was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and other statistical methods.Results:The mutation rates of cancer-related genes detected by NGS were 82.0% (182/222) vs 79.1% (159/201), ( P=0.455) in liquid-based cytological specimens and histological specimens of metastatic lymph node biopsy, respectively. However, the mutation rate of EGFR T790M was significantly higher in cavity effusion than in lymph node biopsy specimens [12.2%(27/222)＞3.5%(7/201), P=0.001]. The results of gene mutation were identical in 10 of the 13 cases with cavity effusion and metastatic lymph node biopsy, and the agreement rate of EGFR was 84.6%(11/13). In 3 inconsistent cases, EGFR mutations were detected in 2 cavity effusion cases that were not detected by lymph node biopsy. Results of genetic analysis of fluid-based cytological samples of 91 patients with cavity effusion were evaluated after drug treatment with EGFR-TKI. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients was 11.4 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.9). The mean PFS of patients harboring EGFR mutation was 12.3 months (95% CI: 10.8-13.9), and the mean PFS of EGFR wild type was 4.1 months (95% CI: 2.1-6.2). Conclusions:The results of NGS gene detection in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients with cavity effusion show that the PFS time is similar to that of histological specimens after clinical treatment with EGFR-TKI, which proves the reliability of NGS gene detection results in liquid cytological specimens. NGS gene testing appears higher sensitivity in cavity liquid-based samples than in metastatic lymph node samples.

Objective:To understand the prevalence and related factors of three common chronic diseases, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes in HIV-infected persons.Methods:As of December 2023, HIV-infected persons >15 years old who are receiving antiviral therapy (ART) and follow-up in Henan Province were selected as the study objects. Questionnaires, physical examinations, and blood samples were collected to collect demographic information, ART, body weight, blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar of HIV-infected persons. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes.Results:Among 4 023 HIV-infected patients, the prevalence rates of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes were 64.47% (2 594/4 023), 16.80% (676/4 023), and 10.54% (424/4 023), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that hyperlipidemia was positively associated with ≥40 years of age, overweight and obesity, two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) + proteasome inhibitors (PIs) regimen and two NRTIs+ integrase inhibitor regimen, and negatively associated with low body weight. Hypertension was positively correlated with the age group ≥40 years old, family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, overweight and obesity, ART time ≥0.5 years, and negatively correlated with low body weight. Diabetes was positively associated with age group ≥40 years, family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, overweight and obesity, and negatively associated with the use of two NRTIs+PIs treatment regimens.Conclusions:In 2023, the prevalence of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes among HIV-infected people in Henan Province was relatively high, and the risk of common chronic diseases among those ≥40 years old, overweight and obese, and those with a family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was also relatively high. It is recommended to strengthen the prevention and management of common chronic diseases among HIV-infected people.

Objective To explore the current status of big language models in recommending intervention disciplines and interventional therapies.Methods Four mainstream models,including Kimi k1.5,Doubao,DeepSeek-Rl and ChatGPT-4o were selected,and the standardized questions("recommended departments"and"treatment methods")for 18 common interventional diseases were designed.Through three repeated tests,the recommendation data were collected,and SPSS 25.0 was used to perform statistical analysis.Results Major language models recommended interventional physicians and their treatment methods to a certain extent,among which lower limb arterial occlusion and Stanford B-type aortic dissection in circulatory system diseases got the highest recommendation rates(100％)in interventional medicine and interventional treatment respectively,ranking among the top three recommendations.In contrast,benign prostatic hyperplasia had the lowest recommendation rate,with no recommendations for either interventional department or interventional treatment.Conclusion Large language models show disease-specific differences in recommendations for interventional radiology.Among the diseases involved in this study,circulatory system diseases have the highest referral degree,while urogenital system diseases have the lowest.The training data of the models need to further strengthen the coverage of scenario data related to the interventional department and its treatment methods,so as to gradually improve the social awareness of the interventional department.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of tanshinone ⅡA on D-galactosamine(D-GalN)-induced acute liver failure in rats.Methods SD rats were randomly di-vided into control group,model group(intraperitoneal injection of 1.1 g/kg D-GalN),low-dose group(intraperitoneal injection of 1.1 g/kg D-GalN+daily gavage of 25 mg/kg tanshinone ⅡA),and High-dose group(intraperitoneal injection of 1.1 g/kg D-GalN+daily gavage of 50 mg/kg tan-shinone ⅡA).Liver function indicators[aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),and γ-glutamyltransferase(γ-GT)]were measured using a Hitachi7600-210 biochemical an-alyzer,and serum total bilirubin(TBIL)and direct bilirubin(DBIL)levels were determined.The mitotic index(MI)and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)positivity in liver tissues were examined.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-10,and IL-6 in rats from each group.Kits were employed to measure superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),and malondialdehyde(MDA)contents in liver tissues of rats from each group.The TUNEL method was adopted to detect hepatocyte apoptosis rates in liver tissues,and immunoblotting was used to assess the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(p-ERK1/2)and extracellular signal-regu-lated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)proteins in liver tissues.Results Compared with the control group,the model group exhibited increased p-ERK1/2 protein expression(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,both the low-dose and high-dose groups showed decreased p-ERK1/2 protein expres-sion(P＜0.05).The model group had an increased hepatocyte apoptosis index compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Both the low-dose and high-dose groups demonstrated decreased hepato-cyte apoptosis indices compared with the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the model group had increased MDA levels and decreased SOD and GSH levels(P＜0.05).Both the low-dose and high-dose groups exhibited decreased MDA levels and increased SOD and GSH levels compared with the model group(P＜0.05).The model group showed increased levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-10,and IL-6 compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Both the low-dose and high-dose groups had decreased levels of TNF-α,IL-1 β,IL-10,and IL-6 compared with the model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the model group had decreased MI and PCNA positivity rates(P＜0.05).Both the low-dose and high-dose groups exhibited increased MI and PCNA positivity rates compared with the model group(P＜0.05).The model group had in-creased AST,ALT,γ-GT,TBIL and DBIL values compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Both the low-dose and high-dose groups showed decreased AST,ALT,γ-GT,TBIL and DBIL val-ues compared with the model group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Tanshinone ⅡA may alleviate D-GalN-induced acute liver failure in rats through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Trifluridine-tipiracil(TAS-102),as a novel fluorouracil-based chemotherapeutic agent,effectively overcomes fluorouracil resistance in colorectal cancer(CRC)through its unique pharmacological mechanisms,providing a critical treatment option for advanced CRC patients.Probiotics have shown unique value in CRC prevention and adjuvant therapy by regulating intestinal flora homeostasis and modulating host immune response.It is worth noting that the combination of chemotherapeutic drugs and probiotics not only enhances the anti-tumor activity through synergistic effects,but also reduces the adverse effects caused by chemotherapeutic drugs.Based on this,this paper systematically reviews the pharmacological properties of TAS-102 and describes its synergistic effects in combination with other antitumor drugs.It also summarizes the synergistic effect of fluorouracil drugs combined with probiotics to enhance the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity,and discusses the potential value of the combination of TAS-102 and probiotics,which provides a new research direction for optimizing the precision treatment of CRC and a scientific basis for improving the quality of life of patients.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of low-volume high-intensity interval training(LV-HIIT)protocols defined by the W'Balance(W'BAL)model in achieving maximal activation of both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems.Methods Twenty-eight national-level athletes(age:20±1 years old;height:174±9 cm;weight:65.1±9.4 kg)completed an incremental exercise test,followed by six supra-critical power(supra-CP)and five sub-CP constant-load tests to determine VO2max,maximal accumulated oxygen deficit(MAOD),critical power(CP),and W prime(W').They then performed three randomly ordered LV-HIIT protocols(each of 4-minute total duration),with a 10-second inter-val for passive recovery between bouts.The protocols consisted of 10s(HIIT10/10),20s(HIIT20/10),and 30 s(HIIT30/10).Exercise intensities were individually prescribed using the W'BAL model.Accu-mulated oxygen deficit(AOD)and net AOD(NAOD)were calculated for each protocol.Results Final 10-s oxygen uptake(VO2)reached 77％,88％,and 89％of VO2max in HIIT10/10,HIIT20/10,and HIIT30/10,respectively(P<0.05).VO2 in HIIT10/10 was significantly lower than in HIIT20/10 and HIIT30/10(P<0.05),with no significant difference between the latter two(P>0.05).AOD did not differ significantly from MAOD among the three protocols(P>0.05),whereas NAOD was significantly lower than MAOD in all cases(P<0.05).Additionally,NAOD in HIIT10/10 was significantly lower than in HIIT20/10 and HI-IT30/10(P<0.05),with no significant difference between the latter two(P>0.05).Conclusion The HIIT20/10 and HIIT30/10 intensity established by the W'BAL model can substantially elicit maximal activation of both anaerobic and aerobic energy systems.While the W'BAL model demonstrates potential for set-ting exercise intensities in LV-HIIT,future studies are necessary to develop specific W'recovery rate models for targeted populations and to refine CP models that are better suited for intermittent exercises.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of adverse reactions of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), and provide a basis for the rational clinical application.Methods:The adverse drug reaction (ADR) cases of SGLT2i reported by Beijing from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024 were collected through searching the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System of China. The Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) terminology set was used to standardize the description of ADR, and the involving system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) was extracted. Data of ADR were analyzed descriptively and statistically. Results:A total of 409 SGLT2i-related adverse reaction reports involving 409 patients were included. Among these patients, there were 232 females and 177 males; the median age was 62(52, 70) years, and 231 cases (56.48%) were under the age of 65 years; 5 types of SGLT2i (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and henagliflozin proline) were involved, and reports of dapagliflozin was the most (279 cases, 68.22%). The primary indication for medication was diabetes (404 cases, 98.78%). The majority of ADRs did not reach the severe level (395 cases, 96.58%). The 14 cases (3.42%) of severe ADR were primarily about diabetic ketoacidosis (11 cases, 11/14), of which 7 cases presented with normal blood glucose levels and 5 cases occurred after medical stress events. The outcomes of patients were improvement in 241 cases (58.92%) and recovery in 127 cases (31.05%). In total, 476 ADR occurrences were recorded among the 409 patients, involving 82 PTs, 24 of which were not listed in the drug labels. The top 2 SOCs were the infections and infestations [26.26% (125/476)] and renal and urinary disorders [13.87% (66/476)]; the top 3 PTs were urinary tract infection [23.32% (111/476)], urinary ketone detection [6.51% (31/476)], and vulvovaginal pruritus [5.88% (28/476)]; the top 3 newly identified possible ADRs (PTs) were dizziness [2.31% (11/476)], palpitations [1.89% (9/476)], and decreased appetite [1.05% (5/476)].Conclusions:Based on the ADR monitoring data in Beijing in the past 5 and a half years, SGLT2i-associated adverse reactions primarily involved the infections and infestations, and renal and urinary disorders. ADRs identified in the study such as dizziness and palpitations are not documented in the drug labels, euglycaemic ketoacidosis accounts for a high proportion of severe reactions, and most of them occur after acute stress events.
