Gallbladder carcinoma,a relatively rare malignancy within the biliary tract,presents a grave prognosis primarily due to asymptomatic early stages leading to advanced stage diagnosis and the absence of efficacious treatment options.Research has identified chronic inflammation,predom-inantly caused by gallstones,as a critical etiological factor.While surgical intervention offers potential curative outcomes in early stages,the majority of cases are identified too late for optimal surgical outcomes.Chemotherapy and targeted therapy,despite offering new therapeutic avenues,have not significantly improved overall survival rates.Thus,understanding the pathogenesis of gallbladder cancer,especially its association with key genetic and molecular pathways,is imperative for devising novel therapeutic strategies.This review delineates the epidemiology,pathogenesis,current treat-ment modalities,and research advancements in gallbladder cancer,aiming to provide innovative in-sights for clinical management and guide future research endeavors.

Objective:To investigate the value of antioxidant-associated long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)risk score model in prognosis and the association with immune microenvironment of the gastric cancer patients.Methods:Gastric cancer transcriptome data and clinical information were downloaded from TCGA database.Antioxidant-associated lncRNAs were obtained by co-ex-pression analysis of lncRNAs and antioxidant genes.Risk score was constructed using univariate cox regression analysis and lasso regression analysis.Log-Rank test was used to compare the survival differences between two groups.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to assess the specificity and sensitivity of the prognostic risk score model.Nomogram was constructed com-bining risk score and clinical parameters.Immune cell infiltration was assessed by TIMER 2.0.Im-munotherapy sensitivity of each sample was analyzed at TIDE website.Results:A risk score in-cluding 12 IncRNAs was constructed by univariate cox regression analysis and lasso regression anal-ysis.The risk score was an independent factor influencing patient prognosis[HR=5.406(3.131～9.335),P＜0.001].Risk score was positively correlated with multiple suppressive immune cells infil-tration(M2 macrophage,tumor-associated fibroblast).Meanwhile,multiple aberrant expression of immune checkpoint genes and higher TIDE score were found in high-risk group,suggesting that high-risk groups may be more sensitive to immunotherapy.Conclusion:The antioxidant-associ-ated IncRNAs risk score is a good prognostic predictor and can act as a reference in individualized immunotherapy for gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To explore brain network properties and their relationship with cognitive function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based graph theory analysis.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. Clinical and imaging data of 21 children with SCP (SCP group) and 32 healthy children (control group) who underwent cranial MRI at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from August 2020 to April 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. 3D-T 1WI, DTI and Wechsler Intelligence Scale were assessed for all subjects. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale included the verbal comprehension index (VCI), the processing speed index (PSI), the work memory index (WMI), and the perceptual reasoning index (PRI), etc., and ultimately the full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) scores were obtained based on the indices of each subscale. Independent samples t-test was used to analyze the differences in the small world attributes [small-world index (σ), normalized shortest path length (λ), normalized clustering coefficients (γ)], global attributes [global efficiency (Eglob), local efficiency (Eloc), characteristic path length (Lp), clustering efficiency (Cp)] and node attributes [degree centrality(DC), nodal efficiency (Ne), betweeness centrality (Bc), nodal shortest path length (NLp), nodal clustering efficiency, nodal local efficiency] between two groups of children′s brain networks. Brain network indicators with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups were correlated with Wechsler Intelligence Scale scores using Spearman. Results:The FSIQ scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale and the VCI, WMI, PSI, and PRI were lower in the SCP group than in the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Both groups of children′s brain networks had small world properties. Compared with the control group, Eglob decreased, Lp and λ increased in the SCP group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, DC and Ne in multiple brain regions decreased, NLp increased in the SCP group (all P<0.05, FDR corrected). Correlation analysis showed that DC in the right parsopercularis was positively correlated with FSIQ, VCI, WMI and PRI( r=0.53, 0.47, 0.47, 0.60, P=0.019, 0.045, 0.044, 0.020, respectively); NLp in the right parsopercularis was negatively correlated with PRI( r=-0.56, P=0.030); Ne in left paracentral, the right parsopercularis, right precentral, right postcentra were positively correlated with PRI( r=0.62, 0.56, 0.53, 0.54, P=0.015, 0.031, 0.044, 0.039, respectively); Ne in the right precentral was positively correlated with WMI ( r=0.48, P=0.039) in the SCP group. Conclusions:There are changes in the topological attributes of global and multiple regional brain networks in SCP. The changes in the attributes of nodes in the right parsopercularis, right precentral, right postcentral, and left paracentral could reflect cognitive dysfunction in children with SCP.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) in patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) in Tianjin from 2015 to 2020.Methods:The study data were obtained from the Third Center Hospital of Tianjin, a designated sentinel hospital, from 2015 to 2020, with 1 597 SARI patients enrolled in this study. The clinical specimens of the research participants were subjected to respiratory multi-pathogen testing. HRSV-positive specimens were subtyped to analyze the differences in HRSV detection rates among cases of different age groups and periods and their mixed infection situations.Results:A total of 1 597 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected, with an HRSV detection rate of 4.20%. Among 67 HRSV-positive specimens, there were 19 pure HRSV-A nucleic acid-positive specimens, 19 pure HRSV-B nucleic acid-positive specimens and 29 mixed HRSV-A and HRSV-B nucleic acid-positive specimens. The difference in HRSV detection rate among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and the HRSV detection rate in children under five years old was higher than that in other age groups. From 2016 to 2020, the detection rate of HRSV showed an increasing trend year by year. The HRSV detection rate of SARI cases was highest in the winter season, at 7.15%. There were 10 (14.93%) mixed positive cases for HRSV and other viruses, of which four were mixed positive for HRSV and influenza A. Conclusion:The incidence of HRSV in Tianjin exhibits an increasing trend from 2016 to 2020, peaking during the winter season, with children under five years old constituting a high-risk demographic for HRSV infection.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)is characterized by high recurrence or distant metastases rate and the prognosis is challenging.There is mounting evidence that tumor-infiltrating B cells(TIL-Bs)have a crucial,synergistic role in tumor control.However,little is known about the role TIL-Bs play in immune microenvironment and the way TIL-Bs affect the outcome of immune checkpoint blockade.Using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,the study identified distinct gene expression patterns in TIL-Bs.HNSCC samples were categorized into TIL-Bs inhibition and TIL-Bs activation groups using unsupervised clustering.This classification was further validated with TCGA HNSCC data,correlating with patient prognosis,immune cell infiltration,and response to immunotherapy.We found that the B cells activation group exhibited a better prognosis,higher immune cell infiltration,and distinct immune checkpoint levels,including elevated PD-L1.A prognostic model was also developed and validated,highlighting four genes as potential biomarkers for predicting survival outcomes in HNSCC patients.Overall,this study provides a foundational approach for B cells-based tumor classification in HNSCC,offering insights into targeted treatment and immunotherapy strategies.
