Objective:To investigate the prognostic and immunotherapeutic significance of androgen receptor V1 (ARV1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to explore its mechanism in CRC progression.Methods:The relationship between ARV1 expression and CRC prognosis was analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA). Gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed to identify potential mechanisms through which ARV1 regulates CRC progression. Multiple public databases were used to analyze the correlation between ARV1 and immune cell infiltration and to predict the sensitivity of ARV1 to immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic drugs. Immunohistochemical validation was conducted using postoperative specimens from 199 CRC patients, and clinical correlations were analyzed.Results:ARV1 expression was significantly lower in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues ( P<0.001). Patients with high ARV1 expression exhibited better overall survival than those with low expression ( P=0.016). Clinical analysis indicated that ARV1 serves as an independent prognostic factor in CRC, and its expression was associated with age and clinical stage (all P<0.01). GO analysis revealed that ARV1 influenced multiple pathways in CRC. Immune-related analysis demonstrated that ARV1 participated in regulating immune cell infiltration in CRC. Drug sensitivity analysis showed differences in responses to various chemotherapeutic agents between high and low ARV1 expression groups ( P<0.01). In immunotherapy, significant differences in Immunophenotype Score (IPS) were observed between high and low ARV1 expression groups in PD1-negative/CTLA4-negative patients ( P<0.05). Immunohistochemical results from 199 CRC patients confirmed that low ARV1 expression was associated with poorer prognosis ( P<0.001). Conclusions:ARV1 expression affects CRC prognosis and may serve as a potential novel biomarker for immunotherapy in CRC.

Objective To explore the effect of plasma-activated gas(PAG)in promoting wound healing.Methods The pro-healing effect of PAG was explored by testing the effectiveness of PAG in promoting cell proliferation and healing of infected wounds.Cell proliferation assay:five different cells(i.e.,HSF,IHSMC,WPMY-1,HaCaT,and HFF)in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into culture plates.After the cells grew adherently to the wall,the different cells were each grouped experimentally using a suitable time gradient.After the cells were treated with PAG for different time,their activity was detected by CCK-8 method.Animal infected wound healing assay:a wound of about 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm in size was created on the back of SD rats with sterile tweezers and scissors,and then the wound was infected with P.Aeruginosa with A600nm=6.5.After the infection was completed,the wounds were treated with PAG at regular intervals,and the experiment groups were subdivided according to the different treatment durations.Wound healing photographs and changes in relative wound area were used as indicators of healing performance.Results Cell proliferation assay:PAG treatment was effective in promoting cell proliferation for a reasonable period of time,while overdose led to cell death.Therefore,the dose of cells treated with plasma activation gas was defined as=W/N(J/cell),where W is the work consumed by the activation gas device during the treatment process and N is the number of cells.The three indexes(starting dose,optimal dose and safe dose range)were used to characterize the proliferative effect of PAG.Animal infected wound healing assay:the experimental groups all showed accelerated wound healing,so the optimal treatment time was used to characterize the pro-healing effect of PAG.The sterilization mode played a primary role,with an optimal treatment time of 2 min,and the pro-healing mode played a secondary role.The treatment conditions with the best overall healing effect were 2 min for the sterilization mode and 1 min for the pro-healing mode.Conclusion PAG has the effect of promoting cell proliferation and infected wound healing,and indicators can be summarized to quantitatively describe its effect,which is conducive to further standardization of PAG research and clinical utility.

Objective Based on the bibliometric methods of CiteSpace and VOSviewer,this paper analyzes Chinese and English literature on the application of plasma in wound healing,combs the current research status and hotspots,and predicts the future development trends of basic and clinical research.Methods The data retrieval platforms include China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database,and Web of Science(WOS).A total of 310 relevant articles were included,and information such as the number of publications,authors,institutions,countries,and keywords was visualized.Results As an emerging research direction in the 21st century,the volume of publications on plasma-promoted wound healing has shown an overall upward trend,with more publications abroad;currently,most research teams at home and abroad come from higher learning institutions and present the characteristics of multidisciplinary exchange and integration.Conclusion Plasma technology has a significant effect in promoting the healing of various complex and difficult wounds,but there is a lack of basic research literature at present.Therefore,it is necessary to further verify its mechanism of action in order to expect plasma to have a wider range of clinical research and applications in promoting wound healing in the future.
