ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Ruyan Neixiao cream （RUC） induces ferroptosis in breast precancerous lesion （BPL） cells， and to enrich the theoretical foundation for its use in the treatment of BPL. MethodsThe inhibition of cell proliferation by 1%， 2%， and 4% concentrations of Ruyanneixiao Cream transdermal solution （RUT） was assessed using cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） and a colony formation assay. Reactive oxygen species （ROS） were measured using the DCFH-DA probe， and the levels of ferrous ions （Fe²⁺）， glutathione （GSH）， and malondialdehyde （MDA） were determined using appropriate kits. Lipid peroxidation was detected with the C11-BODIPY^581/591 fluorescent probe. The expression of nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） proteins was analyzed by Western blot. The BPL rat model was constructed using 2，2′-bis（hydroxymethyl）butyric acid （DMBA） combined with estrogen and progesterone， and the rats were treated with RUC for external application. After the 12^th cycle， the rats were euthanized， and histopathological changes in breast tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Fe²⁺ and MDA levels in breast tissue were measured using corresponding kits. The expression of Nrf2， SLC7A11， and GPX4 proteins in BPL rat breast tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC） and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the matrix group， the cell viability of MCF-10AT cells in the 1%， 2%， and 4% RUT groups was significantly reduced （P<0.05） in a concentration-dependent manner， with the 24-hour half inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） being 2.23%. Compared with the 4% RUT group， cell viability in the RUT + Fer-1 group was significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the matrix group， the colony formation rates of MCF-10AT cells in the 1%， 2%， and 4% RUT groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the 4% RUT group， the cell colony formation rate of the RUT + Fer-1 group was significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the matrix group， the levels of ROS and Fe²⁺ in the 1%， 2%， and 4% RUT groups were significantly increased （P<0.05）， while GSH levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and MDA and lipid peroxidation levels were significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the 4% RUT group， ROS and Fe²⁺ levels in the RUT + Fer-1 group were significantly reduced （P<0.05）， while GSH levels were significantly increased （P<0.05）， and MDA and lipid peroxidation levels were significantly reduced （P<0.05）.

Objective:To develop a robotic digestive endoscope system (RDES) and to evaluate its feasibility, safety and control performance by experiments.Methods:The RDES was designed based on the master-slave control system, which consisted of 3 parts: the integrated endoscope, including a knob and button robotic control system integrated with a gastroscope; the robotic mechanical arm system, including the base and arm, as well as the endoscopic advance-retreat control device (force-feedback function was designed) and the endoscopic axial rotation control device; the control console, including a master manipulator and an image monitor. The operator sit far away from the endoscope and controlled the master manipulator to bend the end of the endoscope and to control advance, retract and rotation of the endoscope. The air supply, water supply, suction, figure fixing and motion scaling switching was realized by pressing buttons on the master manipulator. In the endoscopy experiments performed on live pigs, 5 physicians each were in the beginner and advanced groups. Each operator operated RDES and traditional endoscope (2 weeks interval) to perform porcine gastroscopy 6 times, comparing the examination time. In the experiment of endoscopic circle drawing on the inner wall of the simulated stomach model, each operator in the two groups operated RDES 1∶1 motion scaling, 5∶1 motion scaling and ordinary endoscope to complete endoscopic circle drawing 6 times, comparing the completion time, accuracy (i.e. trajectory deviation) and workload.Results:RDES was operated normally with good force feedback function. All porcine in vivo gastroscopies were successful, without mucosal injury, bleeding or perforation. In beginner and advanced groups, the examination time of both RDES and ordinary endoscopy tended to decrease as the number of operations increased, but the decrease in time was greater for operating RDES than for operating ordinary endoscope (beginner group P=0.033; advanced group P=0.023). In the beginner group, the operators operating RDES with 1∶1 motion scaling or 5∶1 motion scaling to complete endoscopic circle drawing had shorter completion time [1.68 (1.40, 2.17) min, 1.73 (1.47, 2.37) min VS 4.13 (2.27, 5.16) min, H=32.506, P<0.001], better trajectory deviation (0.50±0.11 mm, 0.46±0.11 mm VS 0.82±0.26 mm, F=38.999, P<0.001], and less workload [42.00 (30.00, 50.33) points, 43.33 (35.33, 54.00) points VS 52.67 (48.67, 63.33) points, H=20.056, P<0.001] than operating ordinary endoscope. In the advanced group, the operators operating RDES with 1∶1 or 5∶1 motion scaling to complete endoscopic circle drawing had longer completion time than operating ordinary endoscope [1.72 (1.37, 2.53) min, 1.57 (1.25, 2.58) min VS 1.15 (0.86, 1.58) min, H=13.233, P=0.001], but trajectory deviation [0.47 (0.13, 0.57) mm, 0.44 (0.39, 0.58) mm VS 0.52 (0.42, 0.59) mm, H=3.202, P=0.202] and workload (44.62±21.77 points, 41.24±12.57 points VS 44.71±17.92 points, F=0.369, P=0.693) were not different from those of the ordinary endoscope. Conclusion:The RDES enables remote control, greatly reducing the endoscopists' workload. Additionally, it gives full play to the cooperative motion function of the large and small endoscopic knobs, making the control more flexible. Finally, it increases motion scaling switching function to make the control of endoscope more flexible and more accurate. It is also easy for beginners to learn and master, and can shorten the training period. So it can provide the possibility of remote endoscopic control and fully automated robotic endoscope.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and possible mechanism of Sishenwan in ameliorating visceral sensitivity in the rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D） due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency. MethodForty male SPF-grade rats were randomly assigned into five groups： blank control， model， low- （3.51 g·kg^-1） and high-dose （7.02 g·kg^-1） Sishenwan， and Peifikang （0.54 g·kg^-1） groups. Except the blank control group， the other groups underwent maternal separation stress and Sennae Folium decoction gavage for the modeling of IBS-D due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency. After corresponding drug interventions， the general conditions of the rats were observed， and the number of defecation pellets within 6 h and the minimum threshold of abdominal withdrawal reflex （AWR） were measured. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， gastrin （GAS）， corticosterone （CORT）， and adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was employed to observe pathological changes in the colon tissue. Toluidine blue staining was used to assess mast cell degranulation in the colon tissue. Western blot was performed to determine the protein levels of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）， transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 （TRPV1）， and protease-activated receptor 2 （PAR2） in the colon tissue. Immunohistochemistry was employed to measure the protein level of TRPV1 in the colon tissue， and immunofluorescence was used to detect the positive expression of substance P （SP） and calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP） in the colon tissue. ResultCompared with the blank control group， the model group showed increased number of defecation pellets within 6 h （P<0.01）， decreased minimum threshold of AWR （P<0.01）， elevated serum TNF-α level （P<0.01）， lowered levels of GAS， CORT， and ACTH （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased mast cell degranulation rate （P<0.01）， increased positive expression of TRPV1， SP， and CGRP （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and upregulated protein levels of p38 MAPK， JNK， TRPV1， and PAR2 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high-dose Sishenwan group showed increased minimum threshold of AWR （P<0.01）， reduced defecation frequency in both the high-dose Sishenwan and Peifikang groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， lowered TNF-α level （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated levels of GAS， CORT， and ACTH （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased mast cell degranulation rate （P<0.01）， reduced positive expression of TRPV1， SP， and CGRP （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and downregulated protein levels of p38 MAPK， JNK， TRPV1， and PAR2 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionSishenwan can ameliorate visceral sensitivity in the rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency by regulating the p38 MAPK/JNK/TRPV1 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveSodium hyaluronate (HA) was used as the research object to modify it with phenolic acid in order to obtain the molecular structure with better antioxidant activity or even new activity. MethodsIn this study, 5 kinds of phenolic acid-sodium hyaluronate was prepared by free radical-mediated grafting method, and the grafts with the highest grafting degree were selected to optimize the synthesis conditions. Then, grafts structure and physicochemical properties were analyzed. The grafts were characterized by IR, UV, ¹H NMR, FESEM and TGA spectra. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of grafts was determined by the scavenging ability of DPPH·, ABTS⁺· and O^2-·. ResultsAmong 5 kinds of phenolic acid-sodium hyaluronate, the grafting rate of ferulic acid-sodium hyaluronate copolymer (FA-HA) was highest , which was chosen as experimental sample in the following tests. Firstly, the reaction conditions were investigated and the highest grafting rate was (16.59±0.31) mg/g at the optimal preparation conditions. Then, FA-HA structure and physicochemical properties were analyzed. Data from UV, IR, ¹H NMR analyses, TGA showed that FA were successfully grafted to HA. Compared with HA, the results of gel permeation chrematography (GPC) showed that the molecular mass distribution ofFA-HA copolymer decreased from 34.4 to 31.5 ku, but the uniformity of molecular distribution was improved. FESEM results showed that the structure of copolymer exhibited a closely connected lamellar structure with a relatively smooth surface. TGA results showed that thermal stability of FA-HA had a little decline. The antioxidant performance in vitro results showed that, during 0.25-10 g/L, FA-HA can eliminate (83.76±4.86)% DPPH·, (76.95±5.06)% ABTS⁺· and (83.08±2.51)% O^2-· respectively at 10 g/L. which were higher than that of native HA and FA. ConclusionFA and HA were successfully grafted together by free radical grafting, and the grafted FA-HA had better antioxidant activity in vitro, which provided a theoretical basis for further research and development of phenolic acid-HA grafts.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and value of a multi-parametric MRI radiomics-based nomogram model for pretreatment predicting the lymphovascular space invasion(LVSI)of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma(EEA).Methods Preoperative MRI and baseline clinical characteristics of 205 EEA patients were prospectively collected from Oct 2020 to Jan 2022 in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University,and randomly divided into training set(n=123)and validation set(n=82)in a 6∶4 ratio.The whole-tumor region of interest was manually drawn on T2-weighted imaging,diffusion-weighted imaging(apparent diffusion coefficient),and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI,respectively,for radiomics features extraction.In the training set,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to select independent clinical predictors of LVSI(+)and construct the clinical model.The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to select optimal radiomics features to form a radiomics signature.A combined nomogram model was established by integrating clinical independent predictors and the radiomics signature,and validated in the validation set.The predicting performance and clinical net benefit were evaluated by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)and clinical decision curve analysis,respectively.Results Of the 205 EEA cases,144 cases were LVSI(-)and 61 cases were LVSI(+).Menopausal status,CA125,and CA199 were independent clinical predictors for the LVSI(+),and contributing to a clinical model with AUCs of 0.714(training)and 0.731(validation).From 8 240 extracted radiomics features,five were selected to construct a MRI radiomics signature after de-redundancy and LASSO dimensionality reduction,yielding AUCs of 0.860(training)and 0.759(validation).The combined nomogram model showed AUCs of 0.887(training)and 0.807(validation),outperforming others and achieving maximum clinical benefit in a large range of threshold probability in both training and validation sets.Conclusion The multi-parametric MRI-based nomogram model has the potential for pretreatment predicting the LVSI status of EEA,providing valuable information for clinical management decision-making and improving patient's clinical benefits.
