Objective To explore the diagnostic value of the combined detection of serum allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15), and doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) in breast cancer. Methods A total of 114 female breast cancer patients (breast cancer group) and 114 female volunteers (control group) who underwent physical examination were selected. Enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay was applied to detect serum levels of AIF-1, GDF15, and DCLK1. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting breast cancer. ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum AIF-1, GDF15, DCLK1 levels in breast cancer. Results The serum levels of AIF-1, GDF15, and DCLK1 in the breast cancer group were obviously higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The expression levels of serum AIF-1, GDF15, and DCLK1 were significantly elevated in breast cancer patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, moderate and poor differentiation, lymph-node metastasis, and Ki-67 positive (P<0.05). Serum AIF-1, GDF15, and DCLK1 were risk factors for breast cancer, and the areas under the curve (AUC) for single and combined diagnosis of breast cancer for all three were 0.834, 0.753, 0.861, and 0.930, respectively. Additionally, the combined diagnosis AUC values were significantly higher than those assessed alone (Z_{combination-AIF-1}=3.479, Z_{combination-GDF15}=5.147, and Z_{combination-DCLK1}=3.121; all P<0.05). Conclusion In breast cancer patients, the serum AIF-1, GDF15, and DCLK1 levels increase. They are risk factors for breast cancer, and the combined diagnosis of the three is more effective.

Objective To investigate the effect of erector spinae plane block on ultrasound-based hemodynamic parameters of the arteries of the four limbs and biochemical stress indicators in patients with thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods A total of 120 patients with thoracoscopic lobectomy were randomly divided into study group and control group, with 60 cases in each group.The study group received erector spinae plane block during surgery, while the control group received conventional anesthesia measures.Pulmonary function indicators[peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV₁)], ultrasound-based hemodynamic parameters of the arteries of the four limbs (maximum systolic velocity, minimum diastolic velocity, mean velocity, arterial pulsatility index, and arterial resistance index), stress indicators[cortisol (Cor), norepinephrine (NE), angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)], and analgesic effect were compared between the two groups at different time points[before anesthesia induction (T₀), after extubation (T₁), and after drainage tube removal (T₂)]. Results FEV₁, FVC and PEFR in both groups were significantly lower at T₁ and T₂ than at T₀, and FEV₁, FVC and PEFR in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group at T₁ and T₂(P < 0.05).The maximum systolic velocity and arterial resistance index in both groups were significantly lower at T₁ and T₂ than at T₀, while the minimum diastolic velocity, mean velocity and arterial pulsatility index were significantly higher at T₁ and T₂ than at T₀(P < 0.05).The maximum systolic velocity and arterial resistance index in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group at T₁ and T₂, but the minimum diastolic velocity, mean velocity and arterial pulsatility index were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Cor, ACTH, Ang Ⅱ and NE in both groups were significantly higher at T₂ than at T₀, and Cor, ACTH, Ang Ⅱ and NE in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group at T₂(P < 0.05).The Prince-Henry pain score, effective compression times, and actual compression times in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Application of erector spinae plane block in thoracoscopic lobectomy causes smaller fluctuations in hemodynamic parameters of the arteries of four limbs and biochemical stress indicators, with a better anesthetic effect.

Objective To investigate the effects of esketamine on hypoxic-ischemic myocardial injury in neonatal rats based on glycogen synthase kinase-3β/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-containing protein 3 (GSK-3β/NLRP3) pathway. Methods Thirty neonatal rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group and esketamine group, with 10 rats in each group. The rats in the sham operation group underwent a median incision in the neck to expose the bilateral common carotid arteries; the rats in the model group and the esketamine group underwent ligation of the common carotid arteries combined with a hypoxic environment to establish a model ofischemia and hypoxia; the rats in the esketamine group were given esketamine intervention (50 mg/kg). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β levels, myocardial injury, myocardial cell apoptosis and apoptosis protein caspase 1/3/9 levels, neutrophil infiltration in myocardial tissue, and changes in GSK-3β and NLRP3 protein levels in myocardial tissue were detected in each group. Results Compared with the sham operation group, the LVEF and LVFS were significantly decreased and the LVEDD and LVESD were significantly increased in the model group, while the LVEF and LVFS were significantly higher and the LVEDD and LVESD were significantly lower in the esketamine group than in the model group (P < 0.05). The serum levels of CK-MB, cTnI, LDH, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, myocardial injury and apoptosis, caspase 1/3/9 protein levels in myocardial tissue sections, neutrophil counts, and GSK-3β and NLRP3 protein levels were significantly increased in the model group, and these indicators were significantly lower in the esketamine group than in the model group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Esketamine improves hypoxic-ischemic myocardial injury in neonatal rats by inhibiting inflammation, and its mechanism of action is related to the GSK-3β/NLRP3 pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on hemodynamics, postoperative recovery, and complications in elderly patientswith gastric cancer radical surgery complicated by hypertension. Methods A total of 88 elderly patients with gastric cancer radical surgery complicated by hypertension were enrolled and randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 44 patients in each group. The treatment group received GDFT during the perioperative period, while the control group received conventional fluid therapy. The mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) at different time points, as well as postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complication rates were compared between the two groups. Results The time effects (F=60.488, 49.789, 39.423), intergroup effects (F=17.317, 12.969, 10.101), and interaction effects (F=26.415, 22.546, 17.294) of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and ScvO₂ in the two groups showed statistically significant difference(P < 0.05). After surgery, the mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and ScvO₂ in the treatment group were higher than those before anesthesia and the control group (P < 0.05). The postoperative exhaust time and hospital stay in the treatment group were (2.25±0.61) and (10.29±1.96) days, respectively, which were shorter than (2.82±0.71) and (12.36±2.29) days in the control group (P < 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (11.36% versus 29.54%, P < 0.05). Conclusion Applying GDFT during the perioperative period for elderly patients with gastric cancer radical surgery complicated by hypertension can provide a more stable hemodynamic environment, improve tissue perfusion, accelerate postoperative recovery, and reduce postoperative complications.

The interventional therapy of vascular stent implantation is a popular treatment method for cardiovascular stenosis and blockage. However, traditional stent manufacturing methods such as laser cutting are complex and cannot easily manufacture complex structures such as bifurcated stents, while three-dimensional (3D) printing technology provides a new method for manufacturing stents with complex structure and personalized designs. In this paper, a cardiovascular stent was designed, and printed using selective laser melting technology and 316L stainless steel powder of 0-10 µm size. Electrolytic polishing was performed to improve the surface quality of the printed vascular stent, and the expansion behavior of the polished stent was assessed by balloon inflation. The results showed that the newly designed cardiovascular stent could be manufactured by 3D printing technology. Electrolytic polishing removed the attached powder and reduced the surface roughness Ra from 1.36 µm to 0.82 µm. The axial shortening rate of the polished bracket was 4.23% when the outside diameter was expanded from 2.42 mm to 3.63 mm under the pressure of the balloon, and the radial rebound rate was 2.48% after unloading. The radial force of polished stent was 8.32 N. The 3D printed vascular stent can remove the surface powder through electrolytic polishing to improve the surface quality, and show good dilatation performance and radial support performance, which provides a reference for the practical application of 3D printed vascular stent.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of nosocomial Escherichia coli infection and risk factors of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli infection in children, and to provide scientific basis for better prevention of nosocomial Escherichia coli infection in children. Methods A total of 169 children with nosocomial infection hospitalized in Handan Regional Children's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected by random sampling method. After specimen collection, bacteria were identified by VitEK-32 identification system , and drug sensitivity of isolated pure Escherichia coli colony was identified by automatic drug sensitivity analyzer Phoenix 100. Statistical analysis of drug resistance of Escherichia coli. The clinical data of the children were retrieved from the case system by uniformly trained professionals, and the department distribution, underlying diseases, clinical characteristics, antibiotic resistance, length of hospital stay, surgery, invasive exercises and other clinical data of all the children were counted. Factor logistic regression analysis of the risk factors of nosocomial infection of ESBLs Escherichia coli in children in the hospital. Results A among of 39 strains of Escherichia coli were detected in children with nosocomial infection in children's hospital. The main specimens were 22 strains (56.41%) in sputum, 11 strains (28.21%) in urine and 6 strains (15.38%) in blood.Twenty-one strains of ESBLs Escherichia coli were detected, with a positive rate of 53.85%. Fever was the most common first symptom in 37 cases (94.87%). Children with ESBLs (+) Escherichia coli infection were significantly higher than those with ESBLs (-) Escherichia coli in age, length of hospitalization, neonates/recent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, complicated underlying diseases, and invasive operation (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that recent use of antibiotics, combined with underlying diseases, and invasive operation were independent risk factors for ESBLs infection in children in hospital (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of nosocomial Escherichia coli infection in children is high, and active intervention should be carried out for children who have recently used antibiotics, complicated with underlying diseases, and invasive operations to reduce the risk of ESBLs Escherichia coli infection.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of chlorogenic acid on the proliferation, migration and invasion of renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells and the possible molecular mechanism. 【Methods】 Human renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells were divided into control group and chlorogenic acid group (2 μL,1 μmol/L) and cultured for 72 h. The cell proliferation, invasion and migration were detected with MTT assay, Transwell assay and scratch test, respectively. The expressions of IL-1β, EPAS-1 and AKT/P65 signaling pathway related proteins were detected with ELISA, qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. 【Results】 Chlorogenic acid inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of renal carcinoma A498 and 769-P cells, and reduced the IL-1β level in the cell supernatant. Anti-IL-1β reduced the protein and mRNA expressions of EPAS-1, p-AKT and p-P65. Compared with the control group, the chlorogenic acid group had reduced mRNA and protein expressions of EPAS-1, p-AKT and p-P65 (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Chlorogenic acid can inhibit the invasion and metastasis of renal carcinoma cells, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the secretion of IL-1β, thereby inhibiting the AKT/P65/EPAS-1 pathway.

A simple, fast, and visual method for detecting antibodies against peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) using colloidal gold strips was developed. In this study, the pET-32a-N was transformed into Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) for expression. Hybridoma cell lines were generated by fusing SP2/0 myeloma cells with splenocytes from immunized mice with the expressed and purified N protein of PPRV. The PPRV N protein was labeled with colloidal gold particles as the gold-labeled antigen. The N protein served as the gold standard antigen and as the test (T) line-coated antigen, while the monoclonal antibody served as the quality control (C) line-coated antibody to assemble the colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips for detecting antibodies against the N protein of PPRV. Hybridoma cell line designated as 1F1 was able to stably secrete the monoclonal antibody against the N protein of PPRV. The titer of 1F1 monoclonal antibody in ascites was 1:128 000 determined by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and the immunoglobulin subtype of the monoclonal antibody was IgG1, with kappa chain. The obtained monoclonal antibody was able to specifically recognize the N protein of PPRV, as shown by Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA). The developed colloidal gold test strip method was able to detect PPRV antibodies specifically, and there was no difference between different batches of the test strips. Testing of a total of 122 clinical sera showed that the compliance rate of the test strip with ELISA test was 97.6%.The test strip assay developed in this study has good specificity, reproducibility, and sensitivity, and it can be used for the rapid detection of PPRV antibodies.
