OBJECTIVE To compare the changes of chemical components of Morus alba leaves， screen differential markers， and determine their contents， so as to provide reference for quality control of M. alba leaves before and after baked with honey. METHODS The fingerprints of M. alba leaves before and after baked with honey were established by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The common peaks of the fingerprints were identified and the similarity was evaluated. The differential markers of M. alba leaves before and after baked with honey were screened by principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） using common peak are of raw material and product baked with honey of M. alba leaves as index. The quantitative analysis was carried out. RESULTS Twenty-three and twenty-four common peaks were identified from the HPLC fingerprint spectra of ten batches of raw material and ten batches of product baked with honey of M. alba leaves， respectively. The similarities of HPLC fingerprints for raw material and product baked with honey of M. alba leaves were all greater than 0.97. The results of PCA showed that raw material and product baked with honey of M. alba leaves could be divided into two categories. The results of OPLS-DA showed that the variable importance in projection of peak 2， peak H （5- hydroxymethylfurfural）， peak 1， peak 17 （isochlorogenic acid C） and peak 16 were all greater than 1. The average contents of differential marker of isochlorogenic acid C in raw material and product baked with honey of M. alba leaves were 0.093 6 and 0.127 8 mg/g， respectively； there was statistical significance （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Five differential markers such as isochlorogenic acid C are obtained. The content of isochlorogenic acid C in M. alba leaves is significantly increased after baked with honey.

Objective:To explore the application value of histogram and texture feature analysis based on CT images in distinguishing long bone osteosarcoma (OS) from Ewing sarcoma (ES).Methods:A retrospective collection of 25 patients with long bone osteosarcoma and 25 patients with Ewing sarcoma confirmed by surgery and pathology in National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University Medical School, from March 2018 to May 2023 was conducted. All patients were randomly divided into a training set (21 cases of OS and 19 cases of ES) and a validation set (4 cases of OS and 6 cases of ES) in an 8∶2 ratio. The region of interest (ROI) on CT images to extract texture feature parameters was manually sketched. Random forest and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used for feature screening. Logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifiers were used to establish models respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the four models.Results:A total of 100 texture parameters were extracted from CT images, and 8 feature parameters (maximum 3D diameter, 10th percentile, kurtosis, maximum pixel intensity value, inverse normalization, grayscale level variance, long range high grayscale emphasis, and low grayscale area emphasis) were obtained through screening. Four classifiers were used to establish models, and the AUC values of the four models (LR, RF, SVM, KNN) in the validation group were 0.92, 0.79, 0.83, and 0.73, respectively. LR and SVM classifier algorithm trains models had high diagnostic efficiency, with an accuracy of 90%, sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 100%, and AUC of 92% for the LR classifier validation set; the accuracy of SVM classifier validation set was 80%, sensitivity was 67%, specificity was 100%, and AUC was 83%.Conclusions:LR and SVM models have high value in distinguishing OS and ES.

【Objective】 To evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term indwelling of Allium ureteral stent in the treatment of ureteral stricture. 【Methods】 The clinical data of patients who underwent endoscopic Allium ureteral stent implantation for ureteral stricture in our hospital during Aug.2020 and Dec.2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the surgical conditions and adverse events were recorded. The data of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal pelvis width under ultrasound were compared before surgery and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. 【Results】 A total of 52 patients with ureteral stricture of 1.1 (0.7, 2.0)cm were included. All operations were successful. The operation time was 82.5 (70, 114)min, intraoperative blood loss 20 (10, 20)mL, and postoperative hospitalization stay 1 (1, 2) day. During the follow-up of (13.2±7.8) months, 14 patients had stent displacement, 5 had stone obstruction of stent tubes, 7 had occasional hematuria after movement, 9 had intermittent lumbar and abdominal pain, and 1 had recurrent urinary tract infection. The serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and renal pelvis width of 1 month, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery were significantly decreased, while GFR was significantly increased. 【Conclusion】 Long-term indwelling of Allium ureteral stent is effective in the treatment of ureteral stricture, but the high incidence of stent displacement should arouse attention.

Objective:To compare positional and volumetric differences between the gross target volumes (GTV) delineated on three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) referencing 18F-FDG PET/CT and the GTV on the deformed image derived from 3D-CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT for primary thoracic esophageal cancer (EC). Methods:Seventy-two patients underwent chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. All the patients sequentially underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scans for diagnosis and 3D-CT scans for simulation. The GTV 3D was delineated on 3D-CT without referencing 18F-FDG PET/CT. The GTV PET-ref was delineated on 3D-CT referencing 18F-FDG PET/CT. The GTV PET-regwas delineated on the deformed image derived from 3D-CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT by MIM deformable registration software. The differences in position, volume, length, conformity index (CI), and degree of inclusion (DI) of target volumes were compared, respectively. Results:The median volume of GTV 3D, GTV PET-ref, GTV PET-reg were 44.90, 40.36 and 41.15 cm 3, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the volumes of any two targets. The mean lengths of GTV 3D, GTV PET-ref, GTV PET-reg were 8.54, 9.29 and 8.38 cm, respectively. The length of GTV PET-ref was longer than that of GTV 3D ( t=2.134, P<0.05). The median DIs of GTV PET-ref, GTV PET-regin GTV 3D were 0.86, 0.82( Z=-2.741, P<0.05), and that of GTV 3D in GTV PET-ref, GTV PET-reg were 0.87, 0.84 ( Z=-1.429, P<0.05). The median CIs of GTV 3D in GTV PET-ref and GTV PET-reg were 0.72, 0.68 ( Z=2.756, P<0.05), and the difference was significant. The CIs of GTV 3D and GTV PET-ref, GTV 3D and GTV PET-reg, GTV PET-ref and GTV PET-reg had significant negative correlation with the distance of target centers. Conclusions:There was no significant difference between GTV contoured on three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) referencing 18F-FDG PET/CT and the GTV on the deformed image derived from 3D-CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT either in volume size or in spatial position. Therefore, it is recommended that radiation oncologists can refer to the recent diagnostic PET/CT when delineating the gross target volume for primary thoracic esophageal cancer.

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels are confirmed to be expressed in bladder interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICC-LCs), but little is known about their possible role in cystitis-associated bladder dysfunction. The present study aimed to determine the functional role of HCN channels in regulating bladder function under inflammatory conditions. Sixty female wild-type C57BL/6J mice and sixty female HCN1-knockout mice were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, respectively. Cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis models were successfully established in these mice. CYP treatment significantly enhanced HCN channel protein expression and I(h) density and significantly altered bladder HCN1 channel regulatory proteins. Carbachol (CCH) and forskolin (FSK) exerted significant effects on bladder ICC-LC [Ca²⁺]i in CYP-treated wild-type (WT) mice, and HCN1 channel ablation significantly decreased the effects of CCH and FSK on bladder ICC-LC [Ca²⁺]i in both naive and CYP-treated mice. CYP treatment significantly potentiated the spontaneous contractions and CCH (0.001-10 µM)-induced phasic contractions of detrusor strips, and HCN1 channel deletion significantly abated such effects. Finally, we demonstrated that the development of CYP-induced bladder overactivity was reversed in HCN1 -/- mice. Taken together, our results suggest that CYP-induced enhancements of HCN1 channel expression and function in bladder ICC-LCs are essential for cystitis-associated bladder hyperactivity development, indicating that the HCN1 channel may be a novel therapeutic target for managing bladder hyperactivity.
