Objective To investigate the safety, economic benefits and psychological effects of day breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. Methods The demographic data and clinical data of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgeries in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected; the demographic data, clinical data, medical and related transportation costs, and preoperative and postoperative BREAST-Q scores of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2021 to June 2022 were prospectively collected. The safety, economic benefit, and psychological satisfaction of day surgery was analyzed. Results A total of 42 women with breast cancer were included in the retrospective study and 39 women with breast cancer were included in the prospective study. In both prospective and retrospective studies, the mean age of patients in both groups were <50 years. There were only statistical differences between the two groups in the aspects of hypertension (P=0.022), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.037) and postoperative pathological estrogen receptor (P=0.033) in the prospective study. In postoperative complications, there were no statistical differences in the surgical-related complications or anesthesia-related complications between the two groups in either the prospective study or the retrospective study (P>0.05). In terms of the overall cost, we found that the day surgery group was more economical than the ward surgery group in the prospective study (P=0.002). There were no statistical differences in postoperative psychosocical well-being, sexual well-being, satisfaction with breasts or chest condition between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion It is safe and reliable to carry out breast conserving surgery in day surgery center under strict management standards, which can save medical costs and will not cause great psychological burden to patients.

BACKGROUND:It has been found that abnormal apoptosis of bone tissue cells induced by abnormal iron metabolism plays an important role in the progression of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of naringin on iron metabolism and cell apoptosis in bone tissue of rats with osteoporosis. METHODS:Fifty 2-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups with 10 rats in each group:sham group,osteoporosis group,naringin low-dose group,naringin high-dose group,and naringin high-dose+DKK-1 group.Except for the sham group,rat models of osteoporosis were established by removing bilateral ovarian tissues in the other groups.At 8 weeks after modeling,rats in the naringin low-and high-dose groups were given 100 and 400 mg/kg/d naringenin by gavage,respectively,and rats in the naringenin high dose+DKK-1 group were given 400 mg/kg/d naringin by gavage and subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg/d DKK-1,an inhibitor of the Wnt1 signaling pathway,for 7 consecutive days.Relevant indexes were detected after administration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin could enhance the bone mineral density and serum calcium and superoxide dismutase levels in rats(P<0.05),and reduce the serum levels of osteocalcin,malondialdehyde,and phosphorus(P<0.05),while DKK-1 could partially inhibit the interventional effect of naringin(P<0.05).Results from Micro-CT scanning,hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin significantly improved bone microstructure and reduced the rate of cell apoptosis,while DKK-1 partially inhibited the interventional effect of naringin.Immunofluorescence staining results showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin could reduce the oxygen content,anti-tartaric acid phosphatase expression,and elevate the expression of alkaline phosphatase in active tibia tissues(P<0.05),while DKK-1 could partially inhibit the interventional effect of naringin(P<0.05).Results from Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin reduced iron deposition in bone and liver tissues as well as the expression of transferrin receptor 1(P<0.05),and elevated the protein expression of ferroportin 1(P<0.05)in bone tissue,and DKK-1 partially inhibited the intervention of naringin(P<0.05).PCR and western blot assay of tibia specimens showed that compared with the osteoporosis group,naringin decreased the expression of anti-tartrate acid phosphatase,transferrin receptor 1 and Bax(P<0.05),and elevated the expression of alkaline phosphatase,ferroportin 1,Bcl-2,Wnt1 and β-catenin(P<0.05),while DKK-1 partially inhibited the interfering effect of naringin(P<0.05).To conclude,naringin inhibits the progression of osteoporosis by reducing iron deposition and apoptosis rate in bone tissue,which may be related to the activation of the Wnt1 signaling pathway.

With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinically critical disease with limited treatment options and poor prognosis, with high morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary inflammation caused by trauma, infection, and other factors in vivo and in vitro can damage alveolar epithelial and vascular endothelial barriers, resulting in lung tissue congestion and edema and eventually leading to significant dyspnea and hypoxemia, It can further develop into acute respiratory distress syndrome. Oxidative stress is one of the pathogenesis of ALI. A large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can promote the aggregation of inflammatory cells, increase pulmonary capillary permeability, and even directly damage lung tissue. Therefore, regulating oxidative stress becomes one of the effective means to reduce the degree of lung injury. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), ALI is divided into the categories of "sudden wheezing" and "dyspnea due to wheezing". TCM treats the causes of dampness, heat, poison, and stasis by syndrome differentiation and treatment, regulates Qi and blood, and balances Yin and Yang to restore the physiological function of the lung. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that TCM can regulate ROS through multiple targets and mechanisms and play a role in reducing lung inflammation and protecting alveolar epithelial cells and endothelial vessels, in which the nuclear factor E2 associated factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant pathway plays an important role. Based on the generation and clearance of ROS, this article summarized the related mechanisms of TCM monomers, TCM pairs, and TCM compounds in regulating oxidative stress to prevent ALI, so as to provide theoretical reference for the research and development of new TCM for ALI and clinical treatment.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals.
Methods:
A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test.
Results:
AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.
