		                        			Objective To construct intrauterine adhesion (IUA) mouse models induced by two different concentrations of ethanol injury, compare the phenotypes, and optimize a more stable IUA modeling method. Methods Twenty 8-week-old female C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into two groups: the 95% ethanol injury group and the 50% ethanol injury group. Using a self-control method, the left uterine horn was infused with ethanol to establish the IUA model, while the right uterine horn was infused with saline as the sham operation. Five mice from each group were euthanized on day 7 and 15 after modeling, and uterine tissues were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the endometrial pathology, and Masson staining was used to assess the degree of endometrial fibrosis. Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to detect the expression levels of fibrosis markers and pro-inflammatory factors in the uterine tissues. Results Compared to the sham operation, these two ethanol injury led to a significant reduction in elasticity of the uterus, an increase in inflammatory infiltration, and a marked increase in the degree of fibrosis on day 7 after modeling (P<0.05). The 95% ethanol injury group showed a significant decrease in endometrial thickness (P<0.05), whereas no significant change was observed in the 50% ethanol injury group when compared to the sham operation (P>0.05). The expression levels of fibrotic marker molecules collagen type Ⅳ alpha 1 chain (Col4A1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were significantly elevated in the 50% ethanol injury group when compared to the sham operation (P<0.05), although there was an increasing trend of the same markers in the 95% ethanol injury group, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). On day 15 after modeling, the histopathological changes in both ethanol injury groups were not significant when compared to the sham operation, the expression levels of Col4A1, TGF-β, TNF-α and IL-1β remained significantly higher in the 50% ethanol injury group (P<0.05), while only IL-1β was significantly elevated in the 95% ethanol injury group (P<0.05). Conclusion Uterine infusion with 95% ethanol results in more marked histopathological changes in the IUA mouse model compared to the 50% ethanol injury group. The 95% ethanol injury model is suitable for histopathological studies. However, the 50% ethanol injury group shows higher expression levels of fibrosis markers and pro-inflammatory factors compared to the 95% ethanol injury group, suggesting that the 50% ethanol injury model is more suitable for molecular pathological study.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum uric acid/albumin ratio (sUAR) for acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac valve surgery.Methods:The clinical data of adult patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass from January 2021 to December 2021 from the Heart Center of Henan Provincial People's Hospital were collected retrospectively, and the sUAR was calculated. All patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred within 7 days after cardiac valve surgery, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent correlation factors of AKI after cardiac valve surgery. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of relevant indicators.Results:A total of 422 patients were enrolled, including 194 females (46.0%), 141 hypertension patients (33.4%) and 172 atrial fibrillation patients (40.8%). They were 57 (50, 65) years old. Their sUAR was 8.13 (6.57, 9.54) μmol/g, and hemoglobin was 135 (125, 145) g/L. There were 142 cases in AKI group and 280 cases in non-AKI group, and the incidence of AKI after cardiac valve surgery was 33.6%. Age, atrial fibrillation rate, baseline serum creatinine, N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide, serum urea,serum uric acid, blood glucose and sUAR were higher in the AKI group than those in the non-AKI group (all P<0.05), and estimated glomerular filtration rate, lymphocyte count,hemoglobin and serum albumin were lower in the AKI group than those in the non-AKI group (all P<0.05). The median cardiopulmonary bypass time of patients in the AKI group was slightly longer than that in the non-AKI group, but the difference was not statistically significant [159 (125, 192) min vs. 151 (122, 193) min, Z=-0.797, P=0.426], and there were no statistically significant differences in other indicators between the two groups. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sUAR ( OR=1.467, 95% CI 1.308-1.645, P<0.001), age ( OR=1.045, 95% CI 1.020-1.072, P<0.001), atrial fibrillation ( OR=2.520, 95% CI 1.580-4.020, P<0.001), hemoglobin ( OR=0.984, 95% CI 0.971-0.997, P=0.015) were the independent correlation factors. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve ( AUC) of sUAR predicting AKI after cardiac valve surgery was 0.710 (95% CI 0.659-0.760, P<0.001) with a sensitivity of 85.2% and specificity of 45.0% for the sUAR cut-off point of 7.28 μmol/g. The AUC for the diagnosis of AKI after cardiac valve surgery was 0.780 (95% CI 0.734-0.825, P<0.001) with a sensitivity of 72.5% and specificity of 71.8% for the combination of sUAR with age, hemoglobin and atrial fibrillation. Conclusions:For patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, preoperative high sUAR is an independent risk factor for postoperative AKI, and sUAR has a certain predictive value for postoperative AKI.

		                        			Objective To systematically sort out the interventional studies on the application of auricular point sticking technique in patients with urinary calculi by means of evidence map analysis in order to understand the distribution of evidence in this field and the problems of the studies. Methods Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine (CBM) Database, PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL complete, Web of Science, Elsevier Science Direct, Embase, etc. were systematically searched to screen for studies related to the application of auricular point sticking technique in patients with urinary calculi. The time frame of the review was from the database construction to June 2024, and the trend of publication, type of literature, sample size in the literature, interventions, distribution of acupuncture points, outcome indexes, and methodological quality of the literature were analyzed by using graphs and text. Results A total of 79 papers were included, including 65 randomized controlled studies, 5 quasi-experimental study, and 9 studies with unclear grouping basis. The overall trend of the number of publications was increasing, and the average sample size was 103.37 patients. The most frequently selected auricular acupuncture points were kidney, ureter, sympathetic point, Shenmen, and bladder, etc., and the endpoint indicators of greater concern were clinical efficacy, pain relief, and stone expulsion, etc. The methodological quality of the literature was not high. Conclusion Auricular point sticking technique has certain advantages in the treatment of urinary calculi, and the selection of acupoints and outcome indicators are diverse. However, most studies have shortcomings in scientific research design, personalized intervention measures, measurement and analysis of outcome indicators, etc. Therefore, more scientific and rigorous large-scale, multi-center randomized controlled studies are needed in the future to provide high-quality evidence-based basis for the application of auricular point sticking technique in patients with urinary calculi.

		                        			Discipline construction is the main focus of the high-quality development of public hospitals. The authors elaborated on the practice of Zhongshan Hospital(Xiamen), Fudan University, based on the " double-center" homogenization management, implementing the 123456 strategy of " integrated management and homogeneous development" in discipline construction. The hospital has promoted discipline construction from six aspects: building discipline cluster, promoting talent cultivation, building science and technology innovation platform, precise personnel classification, medical and education collaborative education, and information sharing and support. It has achieved new development goals of filling weak discipline gaps, transforming talent transfusion into hematopoietic, and integrating medical, educational, research and management innovation. However, it also encountered difficulties such as homogenization barrier of discipline construction, shortage of excellent talents, and limited brand influence of superior disciplines. The authors put forward suggestions from three dimensions: deepening homogeneous management, building talent echelon, and increasing publicity, in order to provide experience for the high-quality development of other hospitals.

		                        			Objective To summarize the clinical experience of the treatment for complex aortic coarctation with extra anatomic bypass and anatomic correction techniques. Methods The clinical data of patients with complex aortic coarctation treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Friendship Hospital of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture between April 2012 and November 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of 12 patients were enrolled, including 5 males and 7 females aged 11-54 (34.3±16.2) years. Extra anatomic bypass grafting was performed in 8 patients and anatomic correction was performed in 4 patients. The operations were successful in all patients. There was no perioperative death. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 203.0±46.0 min (7 median incision patients), and the average intraoperative blood loss was 665.0±102.0 mL. The average postoperative ventilator support time was 32.3±7.5 h, and the average postoperative hospital stay time was 10.2±4.3 d. The mean drainage volume of median incision was 1 580.0±360.0 mL, and the mean drainage time was 9.3±2.7 d. The mean drainage volume of left thoracotomy was 890.0±235.0 mL, and the mean drainage time was 4.8±2.5 d. One patient had a transient hoarse after operation and recovered 6 months later. The follow-up period ranged from 2 to 10 years with an average time of 81.0±27.0 months. All patients had a recovery of hypertension, cardiac afterload after 2 years postoperatively. One patient who received an artificial blood vessel replacement in situ was examined stenosis recurrence at the third year after discharge. Others were asymptomatic during the follow-up period. There were no death or other complications. Conclusion The treatment strategy for complex aortic coarctation should be individualized according to the anatomical features and concomitant heart diseases. Extra anatomic bypass technique is a safe and feasible choice.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of probiotics combined with bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) on clinical efficacy、gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora in Helicobacter pylori (HP) positive patients. MethodsThe patients who were positive for HP from May 2023 to July 2023 in the department of gastroenterology of Shanghai first people's hospital were randomly divided into2 groups with 40 people in each group. The probiotic group was given 2 weeks of quadruple therapy with probiotics and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotics after quadruple discontinuation. The placebo group was given 2 weeks of probiotic placebo and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotic placebo. 13C urea breath test was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy, gastrointestinal symptoms rating Scale was used to evaluate the gastrointestinal adverse reactions of patients before and after the intervention, and microbial diversity 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to detect the level of intestinal flora of patients before and after the intervention. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the eradication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale between the probiotic group and the placebo group. After the intervention, patients in the probiotic group had significantly lower pain scores on acid reflux (1.10±0.30 vs 1.35±0.53, P<0.05) and stomach or abdominal hunger than in the placebo group (1.07±0.26 vs 1.30±0.52, P<0.05). Through the before-and-after comparison of the probiotic group, the scores of abdominal pain (1.24±0.44 vs 1.58±0.71, P<0.05), stomach or abdominal hunger (1.07±0.26 vs 1.27±0.45, P<0.05) and dry and hard stool (1.24±0.49 vs 1.48±0.75,P<0.05) were significantly lower in the probiotic group than before the intervention in the probiotic group. ConclusionProbiotics combined with BQT can improve the gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora disorders in the process of quadruple drug therapy, but it does not improve the eradication rate of HP.

		                        			To investigate the expression changes of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3(CDKN3) indifferent tumors and its effect on tumor staging, prognosis and immunotherapy.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			The expression characteristics of CDKN3 in different cancers using data from TCGA, CCLE, ICGC, and GTEx databases were evaluated. The GEPIA2 platform and Kaplan-Meier analysis were utilized to assess the effect of CDKN3 on tumor pathological staging and survival prognosis. The TIMER platform was employed to explore the influence of CDKN3 on the tumor immune microenvironment and immunotherapy. Its effect on immune checkpoint and key immunotherapeutic predictors using bioinformatics methods was explored. The GeneMANIA tool was used to construct the protein-protein interaction(PPI) network of CDKN3. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) and Gene Onotology(GO) enrichment analyses were conducted to explore the biological processes and signaling pathways associated with CDKN3. The effect of CDKN3 on HepG2 cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis was validated through transfection with CDKN3 siRNA.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			CDKN3 was found to be widely overexpressed in tumors. High expression of CDKN3 was often associated with advanced pathological staging and poor survival prognosis. CDKN3 expression was negatively correlated with most immune checkpoints and positively correlated with tumor mutation burden(TMB), microsatellite instability(MSI), and mismatch repair(MMR) genes. CDKN3 was associated with cell cycle, cellular senescence, and the p53 signaling pathway. Furthermore, EdU staining, JC-1 staining, Transwell, and Wound Healing assays confirmed that CDKN3 promoted HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration while inhibiting apoptosis.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			Abnormal expression of CDKN3 is closely related to tumor staging, prognosis, and immune microenvironment characteristics, making it a potential prognostic marker and immunotherapy adjuvant target in cancer.
