Vascular structure pattern，namely the maturity，morphology and distribution of blood vessels，as one of the pathological features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC)，cannot be ignored when the prognosis is concerned.The current mainstream classification of vascular structure patterns includes pseudoacini，Golgi，lacunar and dispersion patterns.Many studies have shown that the vascular structure patterns in RCC are closely related to the diagnosis and prognosis.Early features such as dendritic penetration of the endothelium contribute to the differential diagnosis of RCC，while different vascular structure patterns are not only related to tumor grade，but also affect the responsiveness of targeted therapy and prognosis.Evaluating these vascular structural patterns can help to understand the biological behaviors of tumors and guide the treatment options，but a unified assessment of vascular structural patterns is still lacking.This paper reviews the research progress on the relationship between vascular structure patterns and RCC prognosis，aiming to provide clinical reference.

As a practical carrier for promoting the tiered diagnosis and treatment model, the medical consor-tium is of great significance for balancing medical resources and boosting medical service efficiency. The construction of medical consortiums not only improves the accessibility of high-quality medical resources for patients, but also enhances the diagnostic and treatment level of member units. Meanwhile, it provides space for the leading hospital to adjust the structure of diseases and improve the level of discipline construction. As the core of medical insurance payment reform, DRG, through indicators such as the case mix index(CMI) and the number of diagnosis related group (DRG), provides objective and quantified data support for case management and disease structure optimization, thus effectively guiding the rational allocation of medical resources and the adjustmentof diseases and surgical types within the medical consortium. Comprehensive use of DRG evaluation indicators can construct a multidimensional medical consortium construction evaluation system, provides a clear direction for medical consortium cooperation, thereby promoting the overall healthy and sustainable development of medical consortiums and achieving a win-win situation for all parties involved. This paper, based on the "1+5+1" medical consortium cooperation model centered around Peking Union Medical College Hospital, utilizes DRG indicators to analyze the benefits for patients, member hospitals, and the leading hospital during the medical consortium construction process, with the hope of providing reference for the construction of a medical consortium evaluation system.

Objective:To preliminarily investigate the applicability of a poliovirus pseudovirus-based neutralization assay in evaluating the immunogenicity of recombinant poliovirus vaccines and their in vivo potency in rats. Methods:Serum samples from rats immunized with recombinant poliovirus vaccines were tested using both the pseudovirus neutralization assay and the live-virus neutralization assay with Sabin strain. The consistency and correlation of the two methods were analyzed using the Kappa test and Spearman′s rank correlation.Results:For the neutralizing antibodies against typeⅠ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ polioviruses, the Kappa values for consistency analysis of the two methods were 0.914, 1.000, and 0.751, respectively ( P<0.001), and the correlation coefficients ( R values) were 0.833, 0.927, and 0.859, respectively ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The test results of the two methods are consistent and show a good correlation, indicating that the pseudovirus neutralization assay can be applied to evaluating the immunogenicity of poliovirus vaccines and also can be used in rat potency tests.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the prevalence of norovirus causing sporadic acute gastroenteritis in China.Methods:Relevant articles on acute gastroenteritis caused by norovirus in China published between January 2010 and October 2023 were retrieved from Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed database. The articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. Excel software and SPSS20.0 software were used for statistical analysis. The epidemiological features of sporadic cases of acute gastroenteritis caused by norovirus in China were summarized using descriptive statistical analysis.Results:A total of 500 articles were included in this study, involving 784 486 cases of acute gastroenteritis and 670 292 samples in 32 provinces and regions. Norovirus GⅡ was the predominant genogroup causing acute gastroenteritis in China in recent years, but there were significant differences in the distribution of genotypes and epidemic strains at different times. GⅡ.4 was the predominant genotype in each year, and GⅡ.4/2006b and GⅡ.4 /Sydney_2012 were the main epidemic strains. Norovirus-related diarrhea occurred throughout the year, especially between the months of October and December. The incidence of norovirus infection was high in children under five years old and varied in different regions.Conclusions:Norovirus GⅡ was the predominant genogroup causing norovirus-related sporadic acute gastroenteritis in China, but there was an obvious genetic evolutionary trend in the epidemic strains. Factors such as epidemic strains, season and geographical region should be considered when making strategies for the prevention and control of norovirus-related diarrhea and developing vaccines.

LIN28 is an RNA binding protein with important roles in early embryo development, stem cell differentiation/reprogramming, tumorigenesis and metabolism. Previous studies have focused mainly on its role in the cytosol where it interacts with Let-7 microRNA precursors or mRNAs, and few have addressed LIN28's role within the nucleus. Here, we show that LIN28 displays dynamic temporal and spatial expression during murine embryo development. Maternal LIN28 expression drops upon exit from the 2-cell stage, and zygotic LIN28 protein is induced at the forming nucleolus during 4-cell to blastocyst stage development, to become dominantly expressed in the cytosol after implantation. In cultured pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), loss of LIN28 led to nucleolar stress and activation of a 2-cell/4-cell-like transcriptional program characterized by the expression of endogenous retrovirus genes. Mechanistically, LIN28 binds to small nucleolar RNAs and rRNA to maintain nucleolar integrity, and its loss leads to nucleolar phase separation defects, ribosomal stress and activation of P53 which in turn binds to and activates 2C transcription factor Dux. LIN28 also resides in a complex containing the nucleolar factor Nucleolin (NCL) and the transcriptional repressor TRIM28, and LIN28 loss leads to reduced occupancy of the NCL/TRIM28 complex on the Dux and rDNA loci, and thus de-repressed Dux and reduced rRNA expression. Lin28 knockout cells with nucleolar stress are more likely to assume a slowly cycling, translationally inert and anabolically inactive state, which is a part of previously unappreciated 2C-like transcriptional program. These findings elucidate novel roles for nucleolar LIN28 in PSCs, and a new mechanism linking 2C program and nucleolar functions in PSCs and early embryo development.

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a lysosome-dependent selective degradation pathway implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms that regulate CMA are not fully understood. Here, using unbiased drug screening approaches, we discover Metformin, a drug that is commonly the first medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes, can induce CMA. We delineate the mechanism of CMA induction by Metformin to be via activation of TAK1-IKKα/β signaling that leads to phosphorylation of Ser85 of the key mediator of CMA, Hsc70, and its activation. Notably, we find that amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) is a CMA substrate and that it binds to Hsc70 in an IKKα/β-dependent manner. The inhibition of CMA-mediated degradation of APP enhances its cytotoxicity. Importantly, we find that in the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), activation of CMA by Hsc70 overexpression or Metformin potently reduces the accumulated brain Aβ plaque levels and reverses the molecular and behavioral AD phenotypes. Our study elucidates a novel mechanism of CMA regulation via Metformin-TAK1-IKKα/β-Hsc70 signaling and suggests Metformin as a new activator of CMA for diseases, such as AD, where such therapeutic intervention could be beneficial.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the prevalence and genotype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) among women in mainland China from the introduction of cervical cancer vaccine to its marketing in China, so as to provide data for comparing HPV prevalence after the application and gradual promotion of HPV vaccine.Methods:Related articles published during 2006 to 2016 were retrieved from PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang databases. Data about HPV infection in women receiving physical examination or routine cervical cancer screening and female outpatients were collected and analyzed.Result:A total of 270 articles were retrieved, in which the sampled women were aged from 13 to 90 years old. Seventy-two articles were about HPV infection in women screened for cervical cancer with a sample size of 580 308 people. The overall results showed that during the 11 years, the five most common high-risk HPV genotypes were HPV52, 16, 58, 68 and 18, and the common low-risk HPV genotypes were HPV81, 43 and 6. The distribution of HPV genotypes varied in different regions, but HPV16, 52 and 58 were always the predominant genotypes. Among the 270 collected articles, 200 analyzed HPV infection in female outpatients with a total of 675 035 cases. The results showed that the top five high-risk HPV genotypes with high prevalence were HPV16, 52, 58, 18 and 33, and the common low-risk types were HPV6, 11 and 81. The analysis of HPV infection rate in seven geographical regions indicated that, although the distribution of the commonly circulating high-risk HPV genotypes varied in different regions, HPV16, 52 and 58 remained the predominant genotypes.Conclusions:The present study showed that the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV infection varied by region, but HPV16, 52 and 58 were always the most common high-risk genotypes and HPV6 was the predominant low-risk genotype in both women screened for cervical cancer and female outpatients. Besides that, the infections of other high-risk genotypes, such as HPV53 and 68, should also be of concern.
