Purpose To investigate the expression of pro-tein of relevant evolutionary and lymphoid interest domain-con-taining 1(PRELID1)in gastric cancer tissues and to analyze its effect on prognosis,and the mechanism of influencing the prolif-eration and invasion ability of gastric cancer cells.Methods Using TCGA data and clinical data of 111 patients with gastric cancer,we analyzed the relationship between the expression of PRELID1 and clinicopathological parameters and the impact on clinical prognosis.The biological function of PRELID1 was pre-dicted by bioinformatics,and further verified by in vitro and in vivo experiments.Lentivirus was applied to regulate the level of PRELID 1 in gastric cancer cell line(MGC803)in vitro,and its effect on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells was observed.The nude mouse subcutaneous tumor-igenesis was used to observe the effect of PRELID1 on the growth of gastric cancer tissue in vivo.Results The expression of PRELID1 was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than that in the adjacent tissues(P<0.001)and was positively cor-related with the cell proliferation indicator Ki67(P<0.001).Cox regression model analysis showed that the high expression of PRELID 1 was an independent risk factor affecting the 5-year survival rate after radical gastrectomy(HR=2.336;95%CI=1.354-4.029).Gene enrichment results showed that the func-tion of PRELID1 was related to proliferation and JAK/STAT sig-naling.CCK-8 and Transwell experiments found that up-regula-tion of PRELID1 promoted the proliferation(P=0.016),mi-gration(P=0.016)and invasion(P=0.025)of gastric cancer cells,while down-regulation inhibited the proliferation(P=0.026),migration(P=0.048)and invasion(P=0.029).Subcutaneous tumor formation experiments in nude mice found that up-regulation of PRELID1 promoted the growth of gastric cancer tissue(P=0.047),while down-regulation was the oppo-site(P=0.005).Western blot detecting gastric cancer cells and gastric cancer tissues found that up-regulation of PRELID1 promoted the expression of JAK and STAT proteins(all P<0.05),while down-regulation inhibited them(all P<0.05).Conclusion The high expression of PRELID1 associated with poor prognosis may regulate the proliferation,migration and in-vasion of gastric cancer cells by up-regulating JAK/STAT signa-ling in gastric cancer.

Objective To discuss the perioperative care and wound protection of xenotransplantation from genetically edited pigs to monkeys, with the goal of improving the success rate of such experimental procedures. Methods From October 2022 to October 2023, perioperative care and wound protection were performed on 7 recipient rhesus monkeys undergoing xenotransplantation of genetically edited pig tissues and organs. Customized wound protective garments were designed based on monkeys' size and surgical area to protect the wounds, alongside meticulous perioperative care. This included preoperative preparation and medication, intraoperative monitoring of physiological indicators and anesthesia management, and postoperative care comprising wound protection, observation and monitoring, and nutritional support. Results All seven monkeys successfully underwent xenotransplantation. With the aid of protective garments and detailed care, all surgical wounds healed by first intention, and postoperative recovery was satisfactory. Conclusion Proper care and wound protection during xenotransplantation from genetically edited pigs to monkeys not only promote wound healing, but also alleviate pain and harm to animals. This has significant implications for advancing experimental research in pig-monkey xenotransplantation and enhancing animal welfare.

Objective To establish a fast,stable,and sensitive zebrafish model of osteoporosis(OP)using different method.Methods OP models were induced by iron overload or prednisolone(Pred),and bone formation and mortality were observed.The groups were divided into:Control group,model group(include FAC group and Pred group),and positive control group(AC group).Ammonium ferric citrate was used as the model drug in the iron-overload induction method.For the Pred induction models,the modeling time for the Pred-3 days post-fertilization(dpf)method was 3~9 dpf,the modeling time for the Pred-5 dpf method was 5~10 dpf,and Pred was administered from 3 dpf and removed from 7~9 dpf for the Pred withdrawal method.To compare the anti-osteoporosis(OP)effects of commonly used drugs such as Alfacalcidol(AC),Calcitriol(CA),and Alendronate(AL),it's important to select a stable and sensitive positive control drug and to further optimize different staining methods and conditions.Results There was no significant effect of ammonium ferric citrate 500 μg/mL on bone formation.Bone formation and the length of the first vertebra were significantly decreased in the Pred group induced by Pred-3 dpf compared with those in the control group(P<0.01,P<0.05),but zebrafish mortality was higher.There was no significant difference between the Pred-5 dpf method,but bone formation was significantly reduced in the Pred withdrawal group(P<0.01),with no mortality.Alfacalcidol,calcitriol,and alendronate all had anti-OP effects,with CA having the most sensitive and stable anti-OP effect.Alizarin red staining showed that the optimal dye parameters were 0.02%concentration for dyeing 2 h,with washing in 0.5%KOH and glycerol under the conditions of a 3∶1 ratio for 3 h followed by a 1∶1 ratio for 14 h.The result of staining showed that calcein was more sensitive for staining bone nodes and ARS staining was more sensitive for staining the first vertebra.Conclusions The Pred withdrawal method can be used to establish a rapid,stable,and sensitive OP model in zebrafish as a reliable model for studying OP.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of liposomal doxombicin combined with etoposide and high dose methylprednisolone (DEP) as a salvage therapy for refractory macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).Methods:Totally 38 patients with refractory MAS were enrolled in this study from January 2016 to January 2022 in Beijing Friendship Hospital, including clinical characteristics and laboratory test results before and after DEP treatment, were retrospectively collected. The efficacy was evaluated every 2 weeks according to the United States Midwest Cooperative HLH Group. Relevant samples were statistically analyzed using non-parametric tests.Results:Of 38 refractory MAS patients, 8 males and 30 females were included into this study.The median age was 30(15-69) years old. The underlying disease were adult onset Still's disease in 29 cases, Systemic lupus erythematosus in 6 cases, Rheumatoid arthritis in 1 case and Undifferentiated Connective-Tissue disease in 2. The overall response rate was 95% (36/38), including 9 patients (24%) achieved complete remission and 27 patients (71%) achieved partial remission after 2 weeks of treatment. The overall response rate was 97% (34/35), including 16 (46%) complete remission and 18 (51%) partial remission after 4 weeks of treatment(due to lack of data in some patients). The overall response rate was 97% (34/35), including 17 (49%) complete remission and 17 (49%) partial remission after 6 weeks of treatment. Patients who achieved partial remission or complete remission were actively treated for the underlying diseases after induction, and their conditions were in persistent remission.Conclusion:The DEP regimen may be an effective salvage therapy for the treatment of refractory MAS.

Lipid metabolism disorders contribute to hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis. It is ideal to develop drugs simultaneous improving both hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis. Nitazoxanide is an FDA-approved oral antiprotozoal drug with excellent pharmacokinetic and safety profile. We found that nitazoxanide and its metabolite tizoxanide induced mild mitochondrial uncoupling and subsequently activated AMPK in HepG2 cells. Gavage administration of nitazoxanide inhibited high-fat diet (HFD)-induced increases of liver weight, blood and liver lipids, and ameliorated HFD-induced renal lipid accumulation in hamsters. Nitazoxanide significantly improved HFD-induced histopathologic changes of hamster livers. In the hamsters with pre-existing hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis, nitazoxanide also showed therapeutic effect. Gavage administration of nitazoxanide improved HFD-induced hepatic steatosis in C57BL/6J mice and western diet (WD)-induced hepatic steatosis in Apoe -/- mice. The present study suggests that repurposing nitazoxanide as a drug for hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis treatment is promising.

To explore the influence of cluster nursing intervention on inadequate drainage in vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) for inpatients in burn unit.
Methods:
From October to December 2016, 60 patients, aged (43.6±2.8) years admitted to our department, receiving VSD treatment and conforming to the inclusion criteria, were included in the routine nursing group, and among the patients, 37 cases were male and 23 cases were female. From May to July 2017, 58 patients, aged (44.2±3.2) years admitted to our department, receiving VSD treatment and conforming to the inclusion criteria, were included in the cluster nursing group, and among the patients, 36 cases were male and 22 cases were female. The patients′ medical records were retrospectively analyzed. After VSD treatment, patients in routine nursing group received routine nursing, and patients in cluster nursing group received cluster nursing. A cluster intervention group was formed and headed by a chief surgeon. The cluster nursing plan was formulated and implemented strictly from the following six aspects of material preparation, negative pressure value control and negative pressure mode setting, drainage tube nursing, semi-permeable membrane reinforcement, standardizing changing process and timing of drainage capsule, and health education. During VSD treatment, the incidence of inadequate drainage, reasons of inadequate drainage and the occurrences, occurrences of inadequate drainage of wounds in different types and sites, and satisfaction of patients in two groups were observed and calculated. The patient satisfaction items included procedure of drainage capsule replacement, the method of tube fixation, the content and form of health education. Data were processed with independent sample
