Prostate cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the male genitourinary system in China, with a persistently elevated incidence rate.Given the insidious onset, propensity for metastasis in advanced stages, and poor efficacy of traditional treatments, new hormone therapies have garnered increasing attention in recent years.A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors (SGARIs), including enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, and rezvilutamide, can be beneficial in different stages of advanced prostate cancer.Furthermore, their early application has been shown to delay disease progression while maintaining a controlled safety profile.At present, SGARIs have increasingly become the primary therapeutic agents for advanced prostate cancer in various stages.This article reviews the clinical research progress of SGARIs in recent years, with the aim of offering valuable clinical reference for clinicians.

Objective To examine the impact of extreme temperature and drought stress on the survival of Bulinus globosus, so as to provide the theoretical evidence for the genomic research of Bulinus in absence of reference genes. Methods B. globosus snail samples were collected from Kiwani Shehia in Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania, and offspring snails were obtained through laboratory breeding and reproduction. A total of 120 10-week-old B. globosus snails from the same generation were selected and randomly assigned into four groups, including the high-temperature drought (HD) group, normal temperature drought (D) group, low-temperature drought (LD) group, and the control (C) group, of 30 snails in each group. Snails in HD, D, and LD groups were placed in beakers containing dry soil at the bottom and subsequently housed in climate chambers at 35, 26 ℃, and 10 ℃, respectively, while snails in Group C were maintained in 500 mL petri dishes containing dechlorinated tap water at 26 ℃. Following 3 days of breeding, living snails in each group were collected, and soft tissues were dissected and isolated. Total RNA was extracted from snail soft tissues for library construction, followed by high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 sequencing system. De novo transcriptome assembly was performed using the Trinity software, and the longest transcripts were selected as unigenes. Gene functional annotations of unigenes were conducted using the Diamond software against Gene Ontology (GO) knowledgebase, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway database, NCBI non-redundant (NR) protein sequences database, Protein Family (Pfam) database, and UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot (Swiss-Prot) knowledgebase. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were performed using the topGO and clusterProfiler software, respectively. In addition, four relevant genes were selected for validation using a real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) assay to verify the reliability of transcriptome sequencing results. Results Following 3 days of breeding, there were 7, 20, 28, and 30 survival B. globosus snails in HD, LD, D, and C groups, with corresponding survival rates of 23.33% (7/30), 66.67% (20/30), 93.33% (28/30), and 100.00% (30/30), respectively (χ² = 52.72, P < 0.001). De novo transcriptome assembly generated 176 942 unigenes, with annotation rates of 0.98%, 13.49%, 26.46%, 12.48%, and 14.39% against GO knowledgebase, KEGG pathway database, NR protein sequences database, Pfam database, and Swiss-Prot knowledgebase, respectively. There were 33 up-regulated and 72 down-regulated genes in Group D, 483 up-regulated and 815 down-regulated genes in Group HD, and 245 up-regulated and 172 down-regulated genes in Group LD relative to in Group C. Following removal of overlapping genes across groups and unmatched genes, 11 candidate genes were identified. GO and KEGG analyses revealed 3 heat shock protein (HSP)-related DEGs in these 11 candidate genes, which were annotated as HSP12.2, HSP70, and HSP20 genes and were all significantly up-regulated in each treatment group. Three immune and nervous system-related DEGs were identified, and were all significantly down-regulated in each treatment group, which were involved in the neural cell adhesion molecule L1-like protein pathway, fibrinogen binding protein pathway, and leukocyte elastase inhibitor-like protein pathway. qRT-PCR assay quantified that the expression trends of four genes related to temperature and drought stress across different treatment groups were highly consistent with transcriptome sequencing data. Conclusion The survival rate of B. globosus significantly reduces under combined stresses of extreme temperature and drought, possibly due to an imbalance in its cellular homeostasis regulatory system.

Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive and often diagnosed at an advanced stage,leaving most patients ineligible for radical resection.This study retrospectively analyzed four patients with locally advanced or advanced pancreatic cancer to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)ablation combined with chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant and conversion therapy.All cases were reviewed and individualized treatment plans were formulated through a multidisciplinary team evaluation.All patients received HIFU plus gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy,with assessments of tumor volume,vascular involvement,surgical conversion,symptom relief,and adverse events.Three patients achieved marked tumor shrinkage and reduction of vascular invasion,enabling successful R0 resection without recurrence during follow-up.The remaining patient achieved disease stability,significant pain relief,and maintained good quality of life under repeated HIFU therapy.All treatments were well tolerated,and no severe adverse reactions occurred.The combination of HIFU and chemotherapy demonstrated synergistic local and systemic effects,effectively achieving tumor downstaging,improving resectability,and alleviating symptoms.As a safe,noninvasive,and repeatable therapeutic approach,this strategy offers a promising option for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.Further large-scale prospective studies are warranted to validate its long-term efficacy and elucidate underlying mechanisms.

The aim of this study is to establish an gene editing method of Mesomycoplasma hyo-pneumoniae(Mhp)based on the homologous recombination principle.The restriction enzyme di-gestion and ligation method combined with gene synthesis were used to construct a shuttle plasmid to achieve replication in both Mhp and Escherichia coli(E.coli).The pGEM?-T vector was used as the skeleton.The oriC sequence of Mhp which can achieve the replication of the plasmid in Mhp was inserted into the vector.Sequences of the Spiroplasma promoter and puromycin resistance gene were then inserted into the above constructed plasmid to screen recombinant clones.The up-stream and downstream homologous arms of p97 were constructed to initiate homologous recombination.The recA gene of E.coli is inserted to improve the efficiency of homologous recom-bination.The obtained shuttle plasmid was then delivered into Mhp by electro-transformation or chemical transformation.A shuttle plasmid,pGEM?-Mhp-oriC-p 97,which can replicate in both Mhp and E.coli was constructed.With the transformation of this plasmid,the carried puromycin gene and recA gene can be expressed,the p97 gene can be edited.Finally,the genetically unstable p97 gene mutant was initially obtained.In this study,a tool for Mhp gene editing based on the principle of homologous recombination was established,which laid a foundation for the develop-ment of tools for studying the pathogenesis of Mhp.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the sizes of osteon-like concentric microgroove structures on the osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages on titanium surfaces, and to provide reference for the surface modification of implants.Methods:The silicon wafers sputtered with titanium were selected as the control group (smooth surface specimens) and four concentric groups (concentric circles with the maximum diameter of 200 μm, the minimum diameter of 20 μ m, the spacing of concentric circles of 10 or 30 μm, the width of microgrooves of 10 or 30 μm, and the depth of microgrooves of 5 or 10 μm) specimens (the total sample size in each group was 27). The width of microgrooves of C10-5 and C10-10 groups was 10 μm, the depth was 5 and 10 μm, and the width of microgrooves of C30-5 and C30-10 groups was 30 μ m, the depth was 5 and 10 μ m, respectively. The physicochemical properties of the material surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and contact-angle measurement. The proliferation, adhesion of macrophage-like cell line RAW264.7 and the formation of osteoclast actin-rings on the specimen surfaces were observed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), immunofluorescence staining and laser confocal microscopy. Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) quantitative detection, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were used to investigate the regulation of osteon-like concentric microgroove structures on the specimen surfaces on the osteoclastic differentiation of macrophages.Results:Macrophages aggregated and grew disorderly on the surface of the smooth group, and arranged in concentric circles along the microgroove structures on the surfaces of the concentric groups. After 5 days of culture, the cell proliferation of C30 groups (the A values of C30-5 group and C30-10 group were 1.335±0.018 and 1.340±0.033, respectively) was significantly higher than that of C10 groups (the A values of C10-5 group and C10-10 group were 0.967±0.015 and 1.182±0.020, respectively)(all P<0.05). The cell proliferation of the four concentric groups was significantly higher than that of the control group (the A value was 0.796±0.012), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). After osteoclastic induction for 5 days the osteoclasts induced in the C10-5 and C10-10 groups exhibited smaller actin rings and fewer numbers. The TRAP activity in each concentric group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of osteoclast differentiation-related genes TRAP (0.610±0.022) in the C10-10 group was lowest, and CtsK (0.489±0.136, 0.445±0.037) in the C10-5 and C10-10 groups were lower compared to the smooth group and other concentric groups, with statistical significance (all P<0.05), the expression levels of osteoclast differentiation-related proteins TRAP (0.648±0.041), MMP-9 (0.688±0.026) in the C10-10 group were lowest, and CtsK (0.491±0.016, 0.453±0.010) in the C10-10 and C30-10 groups were also lower compared to the smooth group and other concentric groups, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The osteon-like concentric microgroove structures inhibit the osteoclastic differentiation of macrophage-like cell line RAW264.7, with the microgrooves 10 μm wide and 10 μm deep showing the most significant inhibitory effect on the osteoclastic differentiation.

BACKGROUND:The types of acetabular double-column fractures are complex and common.At present,the traditional reconstructed bone plates are used to treat the double-column fractures,and the mismatch between them and the bone surface will increase the difficulty of surgery.Personalized bone plate can realize the adhesion of bone plate and bone surface,but the biomechanical comparison between personalized bone plate and traditional reconstructed bone plate in fixation of acetabular double column fracture is few,and the simulated posture is relatively simple.OBJECTIVE:Three-dimensional finite element method was used to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of different internal fixation methods of complex acetabular double-column fractures in various positions,providing the necessary biomechanical basis for clinical application.METHODS:The most representative two-column fracture model of complex acetabular fractures involving square area was established.A three-dimensional finite element model was established for the fixation of complex acetabular double-column fractures by four different internal fixation methods:special-shaped titanium plate fixation(group A),anterior and posterior column double titanium plate fixation(group B),anterior column reconstruction titanium plate+posterior column lag screw fixation(group C),and anterior column reconstruction titanium plate+subacetabular screw fixation(group D).Four kinds of complicated acetabular double-column fracture models with different internal fixation were simulated in the position of sitting,standing,affected side extension,affected side abduction,and affected side standing on one leg.The biomechanical properties of the four internal fixation methods were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The node displacement and mean displacement on fracture line were presented as group A＜group B＜group C＜group D in all postures.The displacement value in the one-leg standing position on the affected side was the largest compared with other postures,and the maximum displacement of the internal fixation system in group A was the smallest among the four models.There was no significant difference between the four groups in the standing position and the one-legged standing position(P＞0.05).In the position of sitting,affected side extension,and affected side abduction,there was no significant difference between group A and group B,group B and group C,and group C and group D(P＞0.05),but there was significant difference between group A and group C,group A and group D,and group B and group D(P＜0.05).(2)The maximum stress of each fracture block in group A was smaller than that in other groups,and the stress distribution of fracture block was more uniform.The stress of the internal fixator was mainly concentrated in the area near the fracture end of the bone plate.The stress distribution of the internal fixator was more uniform in groups A and B,while the stress concentration of the internal fixator in groups C and D was more obvious,and the maximum stress value of the internal fixator in group A decreased by 4.86％-54.61％compared with the other three groups.(3)In the affected side extension and abduction position,both groups A and B had a large stress shielding rate,and the maximum difference between the two groups was 5.67％.In the one-legged standing position on the affected side,the internal fixed stress shielding rate of group A was the highest,while that of group D was the lowest.(4)It is indicated that shaped personalized titanium plate fixation(group A)has better biomechanical stability than the other three groups of traditional reconstructed bone plate fixation.
