Objective: To analyze the risk factors of recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)，and establish a risk prediction model，so as to optimize the clinical detection and management of NMIBC. Methods: A total of 174 patients with initial diagnosis of NMIBC who underwent TURBT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University during Jan.2020 and Oct.2022 were followed up for 24 months，and were then divided into the recurrence group (n=74) and non-recurrence group (n=100).After univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression，risk factors of recurrence were identified，a nomogram was established，and the calibration curve was plotted，which was verified with receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: The 2-year recurrence rate was 42.53%.Logistic regression showed high body mass index (BMI)，poor differentiation，multiple tumors，and tumor diameter greater than 3 cm were risk factors of recurrence (P<0.05，OR≥1)，while immediate postoperative intravesical instillation was a protective factor (P<0.05).The C-index of the nomogram was 0.893 (95%CI:0.851-0.938)，the area of ROC curve (AUC) was 0.894 (95%CI：0.847-0.941)，the sensitivity was 82.4%，and the specificity was 83.0%. Conclusion: The prediction model based on BMI，tumor stage，grade，number，diameter，and immediate postoperative intravesical instillation fits well and can provide reference for predicting the risk of tumor recurrence.

Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is a condition indicated by biochemical testing for autonomous cortisol secretion, yet it lacks the classical signs of Cushing's Syndrome, such as moon face, buffalo hump, plethoric appearance, and purple striae. It is predominantly observed in middle-aged women and is commonly associated with adrenal incidentalomas. Due to the lack of significant clinical signs, the diagnosis of MACS primarily relies on hormonal testing. Patients with MACS often present with comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and osteoporosis. For those with comorbid conditions, surgical treatment is the principal therapeutic approach. This article summarizes recent national and international guidelines and research to elucidate the updates to the diagnostic criteria for MACS, with a particular focus on the interpretation of the 1 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test results. It also details the treatment and follow-up strategies for MACS. Furthermore, the article highlights the urgent need for more extensive prospective studies to refine the existing diagnostic criteria and to develop surgical guidelines for a wider range of patients with MACS.

Objective To analyze the transcription factor binding sites(TFBS)in the promoter region of E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1(MIB1)gene in zebrafish,the types of MIB1 interacting genes and proteins and their roles in signaling pathways,and to investigate the regulatory mode and potential function of MIB1 gene.Methods Non-coding RNA(ncRNA)was predicted by National Genomics Data Center(NGDC).Alggen and AnimalTFDB online software were used to predict the TFBS types of MIB1 gene.GeneMANIA and STRING were used to analyze the interacting genes and proteins of MIB1.The related data were obtained through DA-VID website,and gene ontology(GO)visual analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)metabolic pathway analysis were performed.Results ncRNA could be transcribed from the promot-er region and 5'untranslated region of MIB1 gene.A total of 121 TFBS were obtained by prediction.P53 tran-scription factor could bind to the promoter region of MIB1 gene and interact with MIB1 protein.A total of 6 co-expressed genes of MIB1 were predicted online,and 20 interacting genes were screened.GO visual analysis showed that MIB1 and its interaction genes had functions in regulating the growth and differentiation of cells,tissues and organs and regulating the NOTCH signaling pathway in the biological process,and were mainly enriched in the cytoplasmic perinuclear region,cell membrane,postsynaptic dense area and so on.It had molec-ular functions such as binding NOTCH proteins and PDZ domain proteins.KEGG metabolic pathway analysis showed that MIB1 and its interacting genes were involved in 4 metabolic pathways.Conclusion MIB1 con-tains a variety of TFBS,and affects a variety of biological processes such as cell carcinogenesis and immune regulation by interacting with specific transcription factors.MIB1 may also play an important role in cell growth regulation,hematopoietic stem cell differentiation,embryonic development and neuronal information transmission through the mediation of its interacting genes and proteins.

Objective:To explore the basic rules of hemodynamics of the multi-territory flap in the early stage.Methods:In this paper, based on the prototype of the free flaps and vascularized pedicled transpositional flaps. The angiosome theory was applied as a basis to systematically analyze the blood flow pathway, the resistance network, and the series or parallel connection mode between each resistance network within the flap, according to the knowledge of fluid mechanics and current pathway, and finally the mathematical model was used for deduction.Results:Based on the model, it can be concluded that a dynamic flow balance can be achieved in the arteries and veins of the multi-territory flap in the early stage and the flap could be divided into four areas: the effective microcirculation zone, the venous stasis zone, the relative ischemic zone and the absolute ischemic zone. And the following inferences can be drawn: (1) The blood supply to the vascular pedicle is constant by pressure rather than by flow. (2) The resistance of the flap varies by the position or the relative position of the arterial vascular pedicle and venous vascular pedicle. (3) The flow velocity decrease gradually from the pedicle to the distal end. (4) The main factors that lead to distal flap necrosis vary depending on the region in which they are located: the venous stasis zone is mainly due to obstructed venous return, and the relative and absolute ischemic zones are mainly due to insufficient arterial blood supply.Conclusions:The basic rules and characteristics of hemodynamics of the multi-territory flap in the early stage can be well explained by this theoretical model, the pedicled artery and vein of the flap can achieve a dynamic balance of flow, and the blood flow gradually decreases from the pedicle to the distal end. The survival range of the flap depends on the pressure difference between the artery and vein as well as the resistance of the blood flow path in the flaps. The distal necrotic area of the flap can be divided into venous stasis area and arterial insufficiency area.
