Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to variants of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1β) (MODY5) has not been well studied in the Chinese population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence and evaluate the application of a clinical screening method (Faguer score) in Chinese early-onset diabetes (EOD) patients. Methods: Among 679 EOD patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age at diagnosis ≤40 years), the exons of HNF1β were sequenced. Functional impact of rare variants was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter system. Faguer scores ≥8 prompted multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for large deletions. Pathogenicity of HNF1β variants was assessed following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Results: Two rare HNF1β missense mutations (E105K and G454R) were identified by sequencing in five patients, showing functional impact in vitro. Another patient was found to have a whole-gene deletion by MLPA in 22 patients with the Faguer score above 8. Following ACMG guidelines, six patients carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were diagnosed with MODY5. The estimated prevalence of MODY5 in Chinese EOD patients was approximately 0.9% or higher. Conclusion MODY5 is not uncommon in China. The Faguer score is helpful in deciding whether to perform MLPA analysis on patients with negative sequencing results.

Objective To explore the effects of different side tension pneumothorax on hemodynamics in pigs,providing data support for the optimization of on-site first-aid procedures for pneumothorax.Methods Twelve Bama pigs were randomly divided into left-sided tension pneumothorax group and right-sided tension pneumothorax group(6 in each group).During the occurrence of pneumothorax and as the pleural pressure gradually increases by 1 mmHg increments,the key indicators were collected using pulse indicator continuous cardiac output(PICCO)technology:hemodynamic indicators[global ejection fraction(GEF),cardiac output(CO),global end-diastolic volume(GEDV),intrathoracic blood volume(ITBV),stroke volume(SV),mean arterial pressure(MAP)],basic vital signs[heart rate(HR),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),systolic blood pressure(SBP)],and arterial blood gas parameters[partial pressure of oxygen(PO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PCO2)].Mediastinal localization was subsequently performed using radiographs.Differences were investigated through comparison between the two groups and within each group before and after the procedure.Results By comparing the hemodynamic changes and X-ray examination results,twelve Bama pigs tension pneumothorax models were successfully constructed.Hemodynamic analysis showed that in left-sided tension pneumothorax model when the pleural pressure reached 8 mmHg,SBP,DBP,MAP,CO,GEF,SV,GEDV and ITBV were significantly lower than those during the occurrence of ipsilateral pneumothorax(P<0.05).In right-sided tension pneumothorax model,when the pleural pressure reached about 3 mmHg,SBP,DBP,MAP,SV,GEDV,and ITBV were significantly lower than those during the occurrence of ipsilateral pneumothorax(P<0.05).Blood gas analysis showed that at 8 mmHg for left-sided and 3 mmHg for right-sided tension pneumothorax,compared with the occurrence of their respective ipsilateral pneumothorax,PO2 was significantly lower(P<0.05)and PCO2 was significantly higher(P<0.05).Conclusions There are different effects on hemodynamics in different side tension pneumothorax.Compared with left tension pneumothorax,right tension pneumothorax can lead to serious consequences under a smaller pleural pressure.Different side tension pneumothorax models can be constructed according to the actual situation when performing pneumothorax related experiments.

Objective To investigate the formation and mechanism of dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitor anagliptin inhibiting lung metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods Twenty-four male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,anagliptin group.The control group did not undergo any treatment.The model group was injected with 0.1 ml CT-26 cells of 109 cells/L.once through the tail vein of the mouse to construct a lung metastasis model,while the anagliptin group was injected intraperitoneally 20 mg/(kg d)0 day after constructing a lung metastasis model.The mice were sacrificed after 14 days.HE staining was used to detect the morphological alteration.Determination of CT-26 cell viability through MTT assay and CT-26 cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and live/dead cell staining.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)production was measured by ROS kit.Western blotting was conducted to measure the expression level of Bcl-2,Bax,cleaved-caspase-3,superoxide dismutase(SOD-1)and SOD-2.Results HE staining showed that the administration of anagliptin could significantly inhibit the abnormal changes in the model group.Anagliptin inhibited the viability of CT-26 cells above 2 mmol/L.Anagliptin promoted the apoptosis of CT-26 cells.Incubation of anagliptin in CT-26 cells significant promoted the production of ROS.Incubation of anagliptin stimulated the expressions of Bax and cleaved-Caspase-3,while down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 in CT-26 cells.Administration of anagliptin decreased the expression of SOD-1,but not SOD-2.Conclusion Anagliptin promotes apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells and inhibits the formation of lung metastatic tumors through the SOD-1/ROS pathway.

Aim To explore the core target,key com-ponents and mechanism of Tibetan medicine Rhodiola crenulata in improving cerebral microcirculation based on literature research,network pharmacology,molecu-lar docking and experimental verification.Methods The chemical components of Rhodiola were collected through literature and database,and the potential tar-gets of Rhodiola crenulata were predicted by reverse pharmacophore matching.The related targets of cere-bral microcirculation disorder were obtained and targets were mapping with Rhodiola crenulata.PPI network was constructed and the core targets were screened.The regulatory network of"herb-component-target-dis-ease"was constructed and key components were screened.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted,and a"Core target-Pathway-Biological Process"network was constructed.Finally,molecular docking validation was carried out,and RT-qPCR and Western blot were used for animal experiments to fur-ther confirm the results of network pharmacology analy-sis.Results A total of 76 active components of Rhodiola crenulata were obtained and corresponding to 285 targets.Altogether 1074 related targets related to cerebral microcirculation disorder were obtained.A-mong them,there were 97 common targets and the main core targets were 6.The key components were 6.The results of molecular docking showed that the bind-ing activity of three key components to the core target was greater than that of the core target protein and its original ligand.The result of RT-qPCR and Western blot demonstrated that Tibetan medicine Rhodiola cre-nulata could significantly reduce the expression of core target CASP3 and AKT1(P＜0.01).Conclusions Tibetan medicine Rhodiola crenulata can improve the cerebral microcirculation disorder through multi compo-nents,multi targets and multi pathways.This study provides an experimental basis for clinical application of Tibetan medicine Rhodiola crenulata to treat cerebral microcirculation disorder.

Aim To explore the potential genes and mechanism of alisol B in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells were detected by CCK-8 and Transwell.Genes of NSCLC and alisol B were col-lected through TCGA and compound gene prediction database,and their intersection genes were obtained.The network of protein-protein interaction(PPI)was constructed by using String database,and the top 20 key nodes were screened out,and the prognosis-related proteins related to the prognosis of NSCLC were screened out by using R language,and the intersection of them was obtained.The potential mechanism of ali-sol B on NSCLC was explored by KEGG and GO en-richment analysis and the relationship between related genes and immune cells,which was verified by cell-lev-el experiments.Results Alisol B inhibited the cell activity and migration ability of NSCLC cells.Five im-portant genes were identified by network pharmacologi-cal analysis:CCNE1,CDK1,COL1A1,COL1A2 and COL3A1.The results of cell experiment showed that al-isol B down-regulated the expression of Cyclin E1,CDK1 and COL1A2 in NSCLC cells.In addition,alisol B could inhibit the expression of COL1A2 and M2 macrophage marker CD206 in macrophages.Conclu-sions Alisol B may inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by down-regulating CDK1 and Cyclin E1,and may affect the function of macrophages by inhibiting COL1A2,thus regulating the tumor immune microenvi-ronment and inhibiting NSCLC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of metformin and arsenic trioxide on KG1a cells proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia and its possible mechanism.Methods:CCK-8 method was used to detect the killing effect of metformin,arsenic trioxide and combined application on KG1a cells.Annexin V-FITC/P1 Dual Stain Flow Cytometry was used to detect the effect of combined application on apoptosis of KG1 a cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of intracellular apoptosis-,autophagy-related protein.Results:Metformin and arsenic trioxide alone or in combination could inhibit the proliferation of KG1 a cells and induce apoptosis of KG1 a cells,and the proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate in the combined drug group were higher than those in the drug group alone(P＜0.05).The combination of drugs induced upregulation of Caspase 8 protein and P62 protein expression and was higher than that in the drug group alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Metformin can synergize with arsenic trioxide to kill KG1a cells,and its mechanism of action may be related to inducing apoptosis and enhancing autophagy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of double U-stitch and modified"double U-stitch pancreaticojejunostomy"in pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical information of 150 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2022 and September 2023 in Wang Wei's team in department of pancreatic surgery,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.The patients were divided into two groups according to the pancreaticojejunostomy method:the double U-stitch 1.0 group(70 cases before modification)and the double U-stitch 2.0 group(80 cases after modification).The postoperative complications of the two groups were compared.Results The overall postoperative complications were significantly lower in the double U-stitch 2.0 group as compared with the double U-stitch 1.0 group(13.8％vs.38.6％,P=0.001).The incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula was 18.6％in the double U-stitch 1.0 group,while this was significantly decreased in the double U-stitch 2.0 group(6.3％)(P=0.021).Postoperative extraluminal hemorrhage occurred in 5 patients in the double U-stitch 1.0 group,while in the double U-stitch 2.0 group,only one patient experienced postoperative intraluminal hemorrhage,the difference was statistically significant between two groups(P=0.007).The median postoperative length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the double U-stitch 2.0 group than that in the double U-stitch 1.0 group(11d vs.14 d,P=0.001).Conclusions The modified"double U-stitch pancreaticojejunostomy"can significantly reduce the incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula and other relevant severe complications,which helps improve the safety of the procedure.
