Purpose To evaluate the classification criteria of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)based on histomorphol-ogy and immunohistochemistry(IHC),and to provide theoreti-cal basis for the classification and treatment of TNBCs.Methods TNBC subtyping was performed according to the histomorphologi-cal characteristics and the expression of immune markers AR,CD8 and FOXC1,and the clinicopathological features and prog-nostic differences were compared.Results Among 93 cases of TNBC,there were 23 cases(24.7％)of luminal androgen re-ceptor subtypes,24 cases(25.8％)of immunomodulatory type,39 cases(42.0％)of basal immunosuppressive type,and 7 ca-ses(7.5％)of mesenchymal type.There were significant differ-ences in the clinicopathological features of subtypes,including pT stage(P=0.030),histological grade(P＜0.001),intersti-tial lymphocyte infiltration pattern(P＜0.001),expression of PD-L1(P＜0.001),and HER2-low(P=0.024).There was no significant difference in disease-free survival among the sub-types(P＞0.05).Univariate survival analysis showed there was significant difference in disease-free survival among the subtypes at pT1 stage(P=0.011),and other clinicopathological features were not independent prognostic factors.Conclusion The clini-copathological characteristics of TNBC subtypes are different,which are expected to be an alternative choice for complex gene expression profile analysis and to provide theoretical basis for subtypic therapy and targeted therapy.

Objective To analyze the current situation of unplanned reoperation in cardiac surgery and to discuss the management measures of unplanned reoperation.Methods The information of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in a class A tertiary comprehensive hospital during 2018-2022 was collected to analyze the incidence of unplanned reoperation,major ca uses,disease types,surgica l moda lities and Complications.Results A tota l of 3902 patients underwent surgery,of whom 73(1.87%)underwent unplanned reoperation.The main cause of unplanned reoperation was bleeding(50%).The disease types with the highest unplanned reoperation composition ratio were coronary heart disease(38.4%),and the disease types with the highest incidence were dilated cardiomyopathy(11.1%).The average hospitalization cost,the average length of hospitalization,mortality rate and medical dispute rate of patients who had unplanned reoperation were significantly higher than those who did not have unplanned reoperation,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.001).Conclusion The hospital should strengthen the perioperative management of cardiac surgery,focus on supervising disease types and surgical modalities with high incidence of unplanned reoperation,and strictly implement the system of operation classification and the system of reporting unplanned reoperation to ensure the quality of patient surgery.

Objective:To effectively quantify and evaluate the quality of different deformation registration algorithms, in order to enhance the possibility of implementing deformation registration in clinical practice.Methods:The Jacobian determinant mean (JDM) is proposed based on the Jacobian determinant (JD) of displacement vector field (DVF), and the Jacobian determinant error (DJDE) is introduced by incorporating the JD of the inverse DVF. The optical flow method (OF-DIR) and fast demons method with elastic regularization (FD-DIR) were tested on nasopharyngeal and lung cancer datasets. Finally, JDM and DJDE with the Jacobian determinant negative percentage (JDNP), inverse consistency error (ICE) and normalized mean square error (NMSE) were used to evaluate the registration algorithms and compare the differences evaluation indicators in different tumor images and different algorithms, and the receiver operating curve (ROC) was analyzed in evaluation.Results:In lung cancer, OF-DIR outperformed FD-DIR in terms of JDM, NMSE, DJDE and ICE, and the difference was statistically significant( z = -2.24, -4.84, t = 4.01, 6.54, P<0.05). In nasopharyngeal carcinoma, DJDE, ICE and NMSE of OF-DIR were superior to FD-DIR, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.46, -7.49, z = -2.22, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in JDM ( P>0.05). In lung cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, JDNP of OF-DIR was worse than that of FD-DIR, and the difference was statistically significant ( z = -4.29, -4.02, P<0.01). In addition, DJDE is more specific and sensitive on ROC curve (AUC=0.77), and has different performance result for tumor images at different sites. Conclusions:The JDM and DJDE evaluation metrics proposed are effective for deformation registration algorithms. OF-DIR is suitable for both lung cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while the influence of organ motion on the registration effect should be considered when using FD-DIR.

Gynecological diseases are one of the important factors that threaten women's reproductive health.Endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress is a stress response induced by the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in ER cavity when the female body is in a disease state,and the effects of different stress levels on the female reproductive system and the increase in the risk of female disease will vary greatly.Studies have shown that ER stress is closely related to the occurrence and development of gynecological diseases.Based on the relevant research reports at home and abroad in recent years,this paper summarizes the role of ER stress in several common gynecological diseases to provide new research ideas for preventing,diagnosing,and treating gynecological diseases.

Objective To explore the effects of standardized environmental enrichment(EE)on cognitive function and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)levels in patients with post-stroke dementia.Methods A prospective study was conducted,including 80 patients with post-stroke dementia admitted to Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Rehabilitation,910th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese PLA from January 2021 to May 2023.Patients were randomly divided into control group,cognitive training(COG)group,aerobic exercise training(AE)group and environmental enrichment(EE)group,with 20 cases in each group.All patients received routine treatment,with COG group receiving additional cognitive function training(30 minutes each time),AE group receiving additional aerobic exercise training(30 minutes each time),and EE group receiving both aerobic exercise and cognitive function training(15 minutes of aerobic exercise training and 15 minutes of cognitive training each time).The training was conducted once a day,5 days a week,for a total of 8 weeks.The patients'mini-mental state scale(MMSE),modified Barthel index(MBI),Hamilton depression scale(HAMD),stroke-specific quality of life(SS-QOL)score and serum levels of BDNF were assessed before treatment,at 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment,respectively.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in general information,MMSE,MBI,HAMD,SS-QOL scores,and serum levels of BDNF among the four groups(P＞0.05).After 4 and 8 weeks of treatment,the above indicators of the four groups were improved compared with those before treatment,with all differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).Inter-group comparison showed that after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment,MMSE,MBI,SS-QOL scores,and serum BDNF levels in COG,AE and EE groups were significantly higher than those in control group,and HAMD scores were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).In addition,MMSE,MBI,SS-QOL scores and BDNF levels of group EE were better than those of other 3 groups,while HAMD scores were lower than those of other 3 groups,with all differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in above outcome indicators between COG group and AE group after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment(P＞0.05).Conclusion Standardized enrichment environment can significantly enhance cognitive function,daily living abilities of post-stroke dementia patients,alleviate depression symptoms,and improve the quality of life,which may be related to the increase in serum BDNF levels.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous negative pressure suction and minimally invasive rotatory excision technique for the treatment of complex encapsulated lesions.Methods:A total of 48 patients(48 lesions) with complex encapsulated lesions who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous negative pressure suction and minimally invasive rotatory excision technique at Xi′an Chest Hospital from January to October 2023 were retrospectively enrolled, including 39 cases of encapsulated abscess, 7 cases of encapsulated effusion, and 2 cases of encapsulated haematoma; the distribution of the bacterial flora of the abscesses were as follows: 24 cases of tuberculous abscess, 14 cases of bacterial abscess, 1 case of bacterial combined bacterial-fungal abscess, and 7 cases of encapsulated effusion were tuberculous pleurisy, and the clinical data were analysed retrospectively. The maximum upper and lower diameters, right and left diameters, and anterior and posterior diameters of the lesions were measured by ultrasound before and after the operation. The patients′ various biochemical indicators (C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate) were detected. The intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative outcomes, and postoperative clinical symptoms were recorded.Results:Of the 48 patients, 39 were cured and discharged after negative pressure suction and rotatory excision technique, and 9 patients were cured and discharged after surgical incision and drainage of the lesions. The overall effective rate of negative pressure suction and rotatory excision treatment reached 81.25%, and the average number of days of tube placement was (11.81±7.22) days, and the average number of days of follow-up was (35.77±19.39) days. Compared with preoperative values, the upper and lower diameters, the left and right diameters, and the anterior and posterior diameters of the lesions were all reduced after operation [5.80 (4.95, 7.95)cm vs 8.00 (6.00, 11.82)cm, 4.00 (3.25, 5.00)cm vs 5.85 (4.52, 7.65)cm, 1.80 (1.00, 2.90)cm vs 3.40 (2.50, 6.15)cm, all P<0.01]; and postoperative C-reactive protein, white blood cell count and neutrophil count all decreased (all P<0.05). Before operation there were 31 cases of local swelling, 16 cases of pain, 12 cases of activity limitation, 12 cases of fever, 7 cases of chest tightness, and 6 cases of shortness of breath, and during postoperative follow-up, there were 4 cases of local swelling, 5 cases of pain, and 4 cases of activity limitation. The symptoms of fever, chest tightness, and shortness of breath all disappeared, and there was a statistically significant difference between preoperation and postoperation (all P<0.05). There were no adverse events or complications associated with the intraoperative and postoperative follow-up of negative pressure suction and rotatory excision treatment. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided percutaneous negative pressure suction and invasive rotatory excision technique for the treatment of complex encapsulated lesions can significantly reduce lesion size, reduce inflammatory response and improve patient symptoms, which is a safe, effective and minimally invasive technique.

Objective:To determine the differential expressions of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)and messenger RNA(mRNA)in normal and asthenospermia(AS)men and analyze their biological significance in AS.Methods:We isolated and ex-tracted total RNAs from 9 normal and 9 AS sperm samples,determined the expressions of RNAs in the sperm using the DNBSEQ se-quencing platform,and analyzed their relevant functions by gene ontology enrichment(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and ge-nomes pathway(KEGG)analyses.Results:An average of 10.64G data was generated per group,with 282 185 RNAs detected,in-cluding 107 009 lncRNAs.Among the total number of lncRNAs,15 157 were differentially expressed,2 190 upregulated and 12 967 downregulated;and among the 19 514 mRNAs,13 736 were differentially expressed,4 995 upregulated and 8 741 downregulated.Differentially expressed genes were enriched mainly in the sperm cell membrane and the pathways related to the ion channel functions,sperm development and fertilization.Conclusion:Differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs can be identified by sequencing a-nalysis of AS and normal sperm.Regulation of sperm function through membrane ion channels may contribute to the development of AS,which provides a molecular basis for further research on AS.

Abstract The popularization of the use of electronic has become a global trend, and children are exposed to devices at younger ages. A large proportion of children and adolescents spend on screen time more than 2 h which is recommended in most guidelines. The paper reviews possible effects of screen time on physical and mental health, as well as mental disorders in children and adolescents. It is found that excessive screen time showed negative impacts on mental health, including depression, anxiety, mood disorder, social adaptational problems, behavioral disorders, self injurious behaviors, and health risk behaviors. Much attention has been paid on the association between excessive screen time and mental health of children and adolescents, while possible mechanisms and influencing factors are lacking. Effective intervention studies are needed to provide a basis for child and adolescent health promotion.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) is a chronic complication resulted from peripheral nerve injury in the late stage of diabetes. It involves a variety of pathological changes such as oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis of Schwann cells(SCs). DPN is the main factor leading to lower limb disability or amputation in diabetic patients, with high incidence, long disease course, and poor prognosis. The modern medicine treatment of DPN mainly focuses on controlling blood glucose and improving microcirculation and nerve nutrition, which can only mitigate the clinical symptoms and not fundamentally reverse the pathological changes of peripheral nerves. Autophagy is a self-clearing mechanism that maintains cellular homeostasis by removing excess metabolites. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), featuring the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation, can treat chronic diseases in a multi-target, multi-pathway, and wide-range manner. Modern studies have shown that the occurrence and development of DPN are related to a variety of pathological changes, and autophagy is a key mechanism associated with DPN. The environment with persistent high glucose can lead to the inhibition or over-activation of peripheral nerve cells, which causes irreversible damage of nerve cells and the occurrence and development of DPN. Therefore, restoring autophagy balance and reducing nerve damage is one of the key ways to treat DPN. The recent studies have confirmed that some active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicines and TCM compound prescriptions can inhibit the oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial damage, inflammation, and apoptosis of SCs in DPN by regulating the autophagy pathway, thus playing a role in the prevention and treatment of DPN. However, the systematic induction in this field remains to be carried out. This paper reviewed the relevant literature, explained the mechanism of TCM in the prevention and treatment of DPN by regulating autophagy, and summarized the potential targets of TCM in the treatment of DPN, with a view to providing new ideas for clinical research and drug development.
