Background and purpose:Gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma(G-EAC)is a rare variant of endocervical adenocarcinoma,characterized by atypical clinical manifestations and elusive lesions.Due to these factors,G-EAC is prone to being missed or misdiagnosed,significantly impacting the prognosis.Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia(LEGH)and atypical LEGH(aLEGH)are considered to be precancerous lesions of G-EAC.These conditions also present overlapping clinical,pathologic and imaging manifestations,making it challenging to differentiate between them preoperatively.The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)findings of cystic-solid lesions in the cervix and their underlying pathology in order to enhance the accuracy of distinguishing between LEGH and G-EAC,ultimately aiding in the early diagnosis and appropriate management of these conditions.Methods:Clinical,imaging and pathological data of 37 LEGH and 53 G-EAC patients who attended the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from July 2016 to August 2023 were collected.Analysis was conducted using Pearson Chi-square χ2,Fisher's exact tests and so on.Multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used for performance evaluation.Results:In this study,differences in age,symptoms,extent,size,composition,degree of enhancement,cervical stromal ring,endometrium invasion,pelvic lymph nodes enlargement,and hydrohystera were statistically significant between the two groups(P＜0.05).In the LEGH and aLEGH groups,lesions were primarily localized to the epithelial layer of the endocervical canal.These lesions were predominantly simple cystic(32/37),and the cystic walls often displayed significant enhancement(31/37).In contrast,the G-EAC group presented with lesions involving the myometrium of the uterine cervix(42/53).These lesions were characterized by a solid component in the majority of cases(52/53),a tendency for the disappearance of the cervical stromal ring(46/53).Logistic regression analysis revealed that among the MRI features,lesion composition(OR=50.064)and incomplete cervical stromal ring(OR=40.180)were significant predictors for G-EAC.ROC analysis,incorporating lesion size,composition,enhancement degree,cervical stromal ring,and endometrial involvement,yielded an area under curve(AUC)of 0.970(95%CI:0.931-1.008).Conclusion:Combining multiple MRI features of cystic-solid lesions in the cervix aids in distinguishing between LEGH and G-EAC.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of targeted inhibition of type 3 deiodinase (Dio3) on skeletal muscle mitochondria in sepsis.Methods:① In vivo experiments: adeno-associated virus (AAV) was employed to specifically target Dio3 expression in the anterior tibial muscle of rats, and a septic rat model was generated using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into shNC+Sham group, shD3+Sham group, shNC+CLP group, and shD3+CLP group by random number table method, with 8 rats in each group. After CLP modeling, tibial samples were collected and Western blotting analysis was conducted to assess the protein levels of Dio3, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC1α), and silence-regulatory protein 1 (SIRT1). Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was utilized to examine mRNA expression of genes including thyroid hormone receptors (THRα, THRβ), monocarboxylate transporter 10 (MCT10), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and PGC1α. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to investigate mitochondrial morphology. ② In vitro experiments: involved culturing C2C12 myoblasts, interfering with Dio3 expression using lentivirus, and constructing an endotoxin cell model by treating cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). C2C12 cells were divided into shNC group, shD3 group, shNC+LPS group, and shD3+LPS group. Immunofluorescence colocalization analysis was performed to determine the intracellular distribution of PGC1α. Co-immunoprecipitation assay coupled with Western blotting was carried out to evaluate the acetylation level of PGC1α. Results:① In vivo experiments: compared with the shNC+Sham group, the expression of Dio3 protein in skeletal muscle of the shNC+CLP group was significantly increased (Dio3/β-Tubulin: 3.32±0.70 vs. 1.00±0.49, P < 0.05), however, there was no significant difference in the shD3+Sham group. Dio3 expression in the shD3+CLP group was markedly reduced relative to the shNC+CLP group (Dio3/β-Tubulin: 1.42±0.54 vs. 3.32±0.70, P < 0.05). Compared with the shNC+CLP group, the expression of T3-regulated genes in the shD3+CLP group were restored [THRα mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.67±0.05 vs. 0.33±0.01, THRβ mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.94±0.05 vs. 0.67±0.02, MCT10 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.65±0.03 vs. 0.57±0.02, all P < 0.05]. Morphology analysis by electron microscopy suggested prominent mitochondrial damage in the skeletal muscle of the shNC+CLP group, while the shD3+CLP group exhibited a marked improvement. Compared with the shNC+Sham group, the shNC+CLP group significantly reduced the number of mitochondria (cells/HP: 10.375±1.375 vs. 13.750±2.063, P < 0.05), while the shD3+CLP group significantly increased the number of mitochondria compared to the shNC+CLP group (cells/HP: 11.250±2.063 vs. 10.375±1.375, P < 0.05). The expression of mtDNA in shNC+CLP group was markedly reduced compared with shNC+Sham group (copies: 0.842±0.035 vs. 1.002±0.064, P < 0.05). Although no difference was detected in the mtDNA expression between shD3+CLP group and shNC+CLP group, but significant increase was found when compared with the shD3+Sham group (copies: 0.758±0.035 vs. 0.474±0.050, P < 0.05). In the shD3+CLP group, PGC1α expression was significantly improved at both transcriptional and protein levels relative to the shNC+CLP group [PGC1α mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.49±0.13 vs. 0.68±0.06, PGC1α/β-Tubulin: 0.76±0.02 vs. 0.62±0.04, both P < 0.05]. ② In vitro experiments: post-24-hour LPS treatment of C2C12 cells, the cellular localization of PGC1α became diffuse; interference with Dio3 expression promoted PGC1α translocation to the perinuclear region and nucleus. Moreover, the acetylated PGC1α level in the shD3+LPS group was significantly lower than that in the shNC+LPS group (acetylated PGC1α/β-Tubulin: 0.59±0.01 vs. 1.24±0.01, P < 0.05), while the expression of the deacetylating agent SIRT1 was substantially elevated following Dio3 inhibition (SIRT1/β-Tubulin: 1.04±0.04 vs. 0.58±0.03, P < 0.05). When SIRT1 activity was inhibited by using EX527, PGC1α protein expression was notably decreased compared to the shD3+LPS group (PGC1α/β-Tubulin: 0.92±0.03 vs. 1.58±0.03, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Inhibition of Dio3 in skeletal muscle reduced the acetylation of PGC1α through activating SIRT1, facilitating nuclear translocation of PGC1α, thereby offering protection against sepsis-induced skeletal muscle mitochondrial damage.

Objective To assess the predictive value of computed tomography pulmonary angiography(CTPA)cardiovascular parame-ters for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH)under the 2022 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society(ESC/ERS)guidelines,and to compare with the 2021 Chinese guidelines.Methods A total of 201 suspected CTEPH patients were retrospectively selected.All patients underwent right heart catheterization(RHC)and CTPA evaluation.According to the Euro-pean guidelines,they were divided into three groups:mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP)≤20 mmHg control group(63 cases)(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),mPAP＞20 mmHg CTEPH group(138 cases),and mPAP≥25 mmHg CTEPH group(123 cases).Inter-group comparison of CTPA cardiovascular parameters was performed,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed for each parameter.Results Under the 2022 European guidelines,the diagnostic efficacy of the diameter of the main pulmonary artery trunk(MPAd)was the highest[area under the curne(AUC)was 0.933].The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the MP Ad,right ventricular free wall thickness(RVWT),and interventricular septal angle(IVSA)were inde-pendent risk factors for the diagnosis of CTEPH(P＜0.05).Under both the Chinese and European guidelines,the MPAd,the transverse diameter and area of the right atrium,the transverse diameter and area of the bi-ventricle,the RVWT,and the IVSA showed significant statistical differences in CTEPH and control groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Under both the Chinese and European guidelines,the MP Ad measured by CTPA has the highest diagnostic efficacy for CTEPH,while the IVSA has the strongest correlation with clinical prognostic indicators.The right atrium structure also has evaluation value.

Objective:To investigate the disease control rate and its influencing factors in patients with progressive non-segmental vitiligo after combined treatment with systemic compound betamethasone injection (CBI) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the patients with progressive non-segmental vitiligo, who visited and were treated with CBI in the Department of Dermatology, Hangzhou Third People′s Hospital from October 2022 to April 2023. The disease control rate was analyzed after 3-month treatment. Effects of clinical factors such as disease onset characteristics, duration, disease condition and treatment methods on the disease control rate were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for comparisons of enumeration data between groups, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze factors influencing the efficacy.Results:A total of 145 progressive non-segmental vitiligo patients treated with CBI were collected, including 56 males and 89 females, aged 14 - 67 (35.43 ± 11.54) years. Among the 18 patients having received an intramuscular injection of CBI, 10 (55.6%) obtained stable condition; among the 105 having received 2 injections of CBI, 60 (59.0%) obtained stable condition; among the 22 having received 3 or 4 injections of CBI, 12 (54.5%) obtained stable condition. The overall disease control rate after treatment was 57.9% (84 cases). The disease control rate was significantly higher in the patients with the lesional area < 1% body surface area (BSA) (42/47, 89.4%) than in those with the lesional area ≥ 1% BSA (42/98, 42.9%; P < 0.001), significantly higher in the patients with disease duration ≤ 2 years (32/41, 78.0%) than in those with disease duration > 2 years (52/104, 50.0%; P < 0.05), and significantly higher in the patients treated with CBI combined with phototherapy (33/44, 75.0%) than in those treated with CBI alone (21/44, 47.7%; χ2 = 6.90, P = 0.009), but significantly lower in the patients with special clinical markers (Koebner phenomenon, trichrome vitiligo, confetti-like depigmentation, inflammatory vitiligo, etc., 4/21, 19.9%) than in those without special clinical markers (80/124, 64.5%, P < 0.001). Among the patients with the lesional area ≥ 1% BSA and receiving 2 injections of CBI, the disease control rate was also significantly higher in the patients treated with CBI combined with phototherapy (21/36, 58.3%) than in those treated with CBI alone (12/37, 32.4%; χ2 = 4.94, P = 0.026). There was no significant difference in the disease control rate after the treatment between the patients with first-onset and reccurrent vitiligo, between those with and without predisposing factors, between those with and without family history, among those with different vitiligo disease activity scores, among those with different number of injections, as well as among those with different treatment intervals (all P > 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the lesional area ( OR = 8.11, 95% CI: 2.74 - 24.04), disease duration ( OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.07 - 0.99), having or not having special clinical markers ( OR = 6.37, 95% CI: 1.72 - 23.57), and whether or not receiving combined phototherapy ( OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15 - 0.77) were factors influencing the efficacy (all P < 0.05) . Conclusion:CBI may be suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate progressive vitiligo, especially for patients with lesional area < 1% BSA, while not for those with lesional area > 5% BSA, and combining phototherapy may improve the control rate of progressive vitiligo.

Purpose: This study examined the diagnostic value of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) features in differentiating between benign and malignant skin lesions. Methods: A total of 1,392 patients with 1,422 skin lesions who underwent HFUS examinations were included in an initial dataset (cohort 1) to identify features indicative of malignancy. Qualitative clinical and HFUS characteristics were recorded for all lesions. To determine which HFUS and clinical features were suggestive of malignancy, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed. The diagnostic performance of HFUS features combined with clinical information was evaluated. This assessment was validated using internal data (cohort 2) and multicenter external data (cohort 3). Results: Features significantly associated with malignancy included age above 60 years; lesion location in the head, face, and neck or genital regions; changes in macroscopic appearance; crawling or irregular growth pattern; convex or irregular base; punctate hyperechogenicity; blood flow signals; and feeding arteries. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity of HFUS features combined with clinical information were 0.946, 92.5%, and 86.9% in cohort 1; 0.870, 93.1%, and 80.8% in cohort 2 (610 lesions); and 0.864, 86.2%, and 86.6% in cohort 3 (170 lesions), respectively. However, HFUS is not suitable for evaluating lesions less than 0.1 mm in thickness or lesions exhibiting surface hyperkeratosis. Conclusion In a clinical setting, the integration of HFUS with clinical information exhibited good diagnostic performance in differentiating malignant and benign skin lesions. However, its utility was limited in evaluating extremely thin lesions and those exhibiting hyperkeratosis.
