Objective To analyze the causal relationship between immune cell phenotype and gastric cancer. Methods Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to select 731 genetic variants involving immune cell phenotypes from the GWAS dataset as instrumental variables. Inverse-variance weighting method (IVW), weighted median method (WM), and MR-Egger regression were used for sensitivity analysis. Cochran Q test, MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO method, and remain-one method were also conducted. Results Changes in the absolute count of IgD+ B cells and CD14-CD16- cells were significantly associated with the risk of gastric cancer. A lower proportion of IgD+ B cells was associated with a lower risk of gastric cancer (OR=0.86, 95%CI: 0.79-0.94), while an increased number of CD4-CD8-T cells was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (OR=1.2, 95%CI: 1.1-1.3). Conclusion A causal relationship exists between immune cell phenotype and the risk of gastric cancer. Changes in specific immune markers may regulate the development of gastric cancer by affecting the tumor microenvironment.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of pelvic floor optimization training of Yun-type with the aid of myoelectric biofeedback in the treatment of mild to moderate female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: Female SUI patients treated in our hospital during Jan.and Oct.2024 were included as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into the control group (n=47) and observation group (n=48) by random number method.The control group received conventional Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training，while the observation group received Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training assisted with myoelectric biofeedback.The total treatment course lasted for 12 weeks.The clinical efficacy，as well as the changes in international consultation on incontinence questionnaire for symptoms and impact (ICI-Q-SF)，incontinence quality of life (I-QoL)，female sexual function index (FSFI)，and pelvic floor electromyographic values before and after treatment were compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.6%，which was significantly higher than that of the control group (79.2%，P<0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment，the ICI-Q-SF [(6.12±1.11) vs. (6.97±1.24)]，I-QoL [(85.05±4.51) vs. (82.14±4.60)]，and FSFI [(30.01±4.10) vs. (26.32±3.32)] scores of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment，the myoelectric values of the pelvic floor muscles of the observation group at the pre-rest stage，fast muscle (type Ⅱ muscle) stage，slow muscle (type Ⅰ muscle) stage，endurance test stage，and post-rest stage were significantly improved compared with those before treatment and were greatly enhanced compared with those of the control group (P<0.05).No serious adverse reactions occurred in either groups during treatment and follow-up. Conclusion: The Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training assisted with myoelectric biofeedback can precisely enhance the therapeutic effects of the conventional Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training，and significantly improve the female sexual function index.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To explore the standardized performance of a FISH probe before clinical detection.Methods:The probe sensitivity and specificity of ETV6/RUNX1 were analyzed via interphase and metaphase FISH in 20 discarded healthy bone marrow samples. The threshold system of the probe was established using an inverse beta distribution, and an interpretation standard was established. Finally, a parallel-controlled polymerase chain reaction detection study was conducted on 286 bone marrow samples from patients at our hospital. The clinical sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic coincidence rate of ETV6/RUNX1 FISH detection were analyzed, and the diagnostic consistency of the two methods was analyzed by the kappa test.Results:The probe sensitivity and specificity of the ETV6/RUNX1 probe were 98.47% and 100%, respectively. When 50, 100, and 200 cells were counted, the typical positive signal pattern cutoffs were 5.81%, 2.95%, and 1.49%, respectively, and the atypical positive signal pattern cutoffs were 13.98%, 9.75%, and 6.26%, respectively. The clinical sensitivity of FISH was 96.1%, clinical specificity was 99.6%, diagnostic coincidence rate was 99.00%, diagnostic consistency test kappa value was 0.964, and P value was <0.001.Conclusion:For FISH probes without a national medical device registration certificate, standardized performance verification and methodology performance verification can be performed using laboratory developed test verification standards to ensure a reliable and accurate reference basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To study the effects of pressure controlled ventilation(PCV)and volume controlled ventilation(VCV)on diaphragm function and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complica-tions(PPCs)in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods Sixty-six patients underwent laparo-scopic gynecological surgery under general anesthesia,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18-30 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ were recruited.The patients were randomly divided into two groups:PCV group(group P)and VCV group(group V),33 cases in each group.All the patients were ventilated in VCV mode after induction.Group P was switched to PCV after pneumoperitoneum and group V maintained VCV until the end of operation after pneumoperitoneum.The diaphragm ultrasonic evaluation indexes including di-aphragmatic excursion(DE),diaphragm contraction velocity(DCV),and diaphragmatic rapid shallow breathing index(D-RSBI)were recorded before anesthesia induction,immediately after extubation,and 30 minutes after extubation.The mechanical ventilation time,artificial pneumoperitoneum time,the time from the end of artificial pneumoperitoneum to extubation,the cumulative dosage of cisatracuriumbesylate,and the patient's observer's assessment alert/sedation(OAA/S)immediately after extubation,the incidence of diaphragm dysfunction immediately after extubation and 30 minutes after extubation,and the cumulative in-cidence of PPCs in 1-3 days after operation.Results Compared with group V,DE in group P was in-creased significantly immediately after extubation(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in DE of 30 minutes between the two groups after extubation.Compared with group V,DCV in group P was in-creased significantly immediately after extubation and 30 minutes after extubation(P＜0.05),the inci-dence of PPCs in group P was significantly lower on the 1st day after operation(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in D-RSBI,time of mechanical ventilation,time of artificial pneumoperitoneum,time from the end of pneumoperitoneum to extubation,cumulative dosage of atracurium besylate,OAA/S score immediately after extubation,and the incidence of diaphragm dysfunction immediately after extubation and 30 minutes after extubation,and the cumulative incidence of PPCs on the 2nd and 3rd day after operation.Conclusion In lower abdominal endoscopic gynecological surgery,compared with volume-controlled venti-lation mode,pressure-controlled ventilation mode dose not reduce the incidence of postoperative diaphragm dysfunction,but dose alleviate the weakening of diaphragm inspiratory force and reduce the incidence of pul-monary complications on the first day after operation.

Blueberries are rich in phenolic compounds including anthocyanins which are closely related to biological health functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of blueberry anthocyanins extracted from 'Brightwell' rabbiteye blueberries in mice. After one week of adaptation, C57BL/6J healthy male mice were divided into different groups that were administered with 100, 400, or 800 mg/kg blueberry anthocyanin extract (BAE), and sacrificed at different time points (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12 h). The plasma, eyeball, intestine, liver, and adipose tissues were collected to compare their antioxidant activity, including total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-PX/GPX) content, and the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) level. The results showed that blueberry anthocyanins had positive concentration-dependent antioxidant activity in vivo. The greater the concentration of BAE, the higher the T-AOC value, but the lower the MDA level. The enzyme activity of SOD, the content of GSH-PX, and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of Cu,Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, and GPX all confirmed that BAE played an antioxidant role after digestion in mice by improving their antioxidant defense. The in vivo antioxidant activity of BAE indicated that blueberry anthocyanins could be developed into functional foods or nutraceuticals with the aim of preventing or treating oxidative stress-related diseases.

Objective To analyze and compare pore characteristics and mechanical properties of models with solid and sheet triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures, and build a porous structure with high specific surface area, low stiffness and high strength. Methods The solid TPMS and sheet TPMS models of D, G, and P units with the same porosity were established, and pore characteristics of the model such as pore diameter, rod diameter and specific surface area were compared; mechanical properties of the model were analyzed by finite element method. The porous titanium samples were made by additive manufacturing technology, pore characteristics of porous titanium were observed by microscope and scanning electron microscope, and mechanical properties of porous titanium were detected by compression test. Results The specific surface area of the sheet structure with the same unit was significantly higher than that of the solid structure; mechanical properties of the sheet structure with the same were significantly better than those of the solid structure. Among them, the D unit sheet TPMS model had the most significant advantages, with the specific surface area of 13.00 mm-1, and the elastic modulus, yield strength and compressive strength of the sheet porous titanium sample were (5.65±0.08) GPa, (181.03±1.30) MPa and (239.83±0.45) MPa, respectively, which were 43.87%, 55.08% and 67.21% higher than those of the solid porous titanium sample. Conclusions While retaining low rigidity of the porous structure, the sheet TPMS model of the same unit has a larger specific surface area, which is beneficial for cell adhesion and growth, and its low stiffness and high strength mechanical properties can effectively reduce stress shielding and provide sufficient mechanical support. It is an ideal pore structure model for bone defect repair substitutes.

Medical images can provide clinicans with accurate and comprehensive patients’ information. Morphological or functional abnormalities caused by various diseases can be manifested in many aspects. Although MR images and CT images can highlight the medical image data of different tissue structures of patients, single MR images or CT images cannot fully reflect the complexity of diseases. Using MR image to predict CT image is one of the cross-modal prediction of medical images. In this paper, the methods of MR image prediction for CTmage are classified into four categoriesincluding registration based on atlas, based on image segmentationmethod, based on learning method and based on deep learning method. In our research, we concluded that the method based on deep learning should bemore promoted in the future by compering the existing problems and future development of MR image predicting CT image method.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of costunolide on the proliferation ，migration and apoptosis of breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells and its mechanism. METHODS ：SK-BR-3 cells in logarithmic growth period were collected and cultured with different concentrations （10，20，30，40，50 μmol/L）of costunolide for 24，48，72 h. Inhibitory rate of costunolide on cell proliferation was detected with CCK- 8. The cells were divided into blank control group and costunolide group （10，20，30 μmol/L）. Hoechst 33258 fluorescence was used to observe the morphology and apoptosis of cells ，and apoptotic rate of cells were calculated. Cell scratch test was used to detect the migration ability of cells and calculate the migration rate. Western blotting was used to detect the relative expression level of Bcl- 2，Bax，Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase- 3 in cells. RESULTS ：The proliferation of SK-BR-3 cells were significantly inhibited by costunolide （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），and it shows a trend of concentration and time dependence. In the blank control group ，cells possessed clear contour ，regular shape and good adherence . Compared with blank control group，the number of cells were decreased significantly in 10，20，30 μmol/L costunolide groups，the cell structure was loose，the volume was reduced ，and the gap became larger ，and most of the cell contour disappeared and became round ，the cell adherence was poor ；cell migration rate and Bcl- 2 protein relative expression level were decreased significantly ，while apoptosis rate and the relative expression level of Bax ，Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase- 3 protein were significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ： Costunolide can inhibit the proliferation and migration ，and induce apoptosis of human breast cancer SK-BR- 3 cells，mechanism of which may be through up-regulating the expression of Bax ，Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase- 3 while down-regulating the expression ofBcl-2.
