Among them, compounds 3, 4 and 5 were isolated from the genus of Ploygala for the first time and compound 4 was a new xanthone. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of compounds 3, 4 and 5 were evaluated by Ellman colorimetric method, compounds 3 and 5 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity, compound 4 exhibited weak inhibitory activity.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features of gastric oxyntic gland neo-plasms.Methods:Forty-nine cases of stomach oxyntic gland neoplasms including oxyntic gland adenoma(OGA)and gastric adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type(GA-FG)diagnosed in the Sec-ond Hospital of Shandong University from January 2016 to December 2020 were selected.The clini cal information,endoscopic appearance,histological features and immunophenotype were analyzed retrospectively,and followed up.Results:Age of the gastric oxyntic gland neoplasm patients ranged from 19 to 83 years old,with an average age of(57.3±2.4)years old.The male-to-female ratio was 24:25.Most of the lesions were located in the gastric body(27/49)and fundus(15/49).There were four endoscopic phenotypes:flat bulging,polypoid,flat and depression.In some lesions,there were dilated dendritic vessels.48 cases were single onset.The mean maximum diameter of lesions was(3.9±0.5)mm(1.0～7.0 mm).Seven cases showed submucosal invasion,and the inva-sion depth was less than 500 μm.The tumor consists of the dense glandular and the glandular con-nects to form a strip shape,which is irregularly branched and labyrinthlike under the microscope.These tumor cells were well differentiated and the morphology was similar to oxyntic gland cells.The chief cells were the predominant cells.The nucleus was mildly enlarged with slight pleomorphism and the mitosis was uncommon.The oxyntic gland neoplasms of the stomach were diffusely posi-tive for Mucin-6(MUC6)(100％)and Pepsinogen Ⅰ(83％),focally positive for H+/K+-ATPase(58％).Conclusions:The stomach oxyntic gland neoplasm is a new histology type with unique clinico-pathological features.The incidence of this neoplasm is low and the prognosis is good but it still needs long-term follow-up.

Objective To evaluate the bioequivalence and safety of two pyrazinamide tablets in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods An open,randomized,single-dose,two-sequence,two-cycle,double-cross trial design was used.All 48 healthy subjects(24 in fasting and 24 in fed trial)were randomized to receive a single oral dose of a 0.5 g pyrazinamide tablet(test or reference)per cycle.The plasma concentration of the drug was determined by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry method.The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin v8.2,and the bioequivalence was evaluated by SAS 9.4.Results In the fasting group,the Cmax of the test and reference preparation of pyrazinamide tablets were(13.28±2.82)and(12.88±4.49)μg·mL-1,the AUC0-t were(139.17±26.58)and(138.63±28.92)h·μg·mL-1,the AUC0-∞ were(148.96±33.65)and(148.71±36.97)h·μg·mL-1 respectively.In the fed group,the Cmax of the test and reference preparation of pyrazinamide tablets were(11.89±1.96)and(11.99±1.92)μg·mL-1,the AUC0-t were(138.22±37.21)and(141.68±25.80)h·μg·mL-1,the AUC0-∞ were(152.20±32.41)and(151.04±28.05)h·μg·mL-,respectively.The 90％confidence intervals of Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ geometric mean ratios of the test and reference preparation were all within 80.00％to 125.00％.The incidence of adverse events was 16.70％for both the test and reference preparation in the fasting group and 8.30％for both the test and reference preparation in the fed group,all of which were mild in severity.Conclusion The test and reference preparation of pyrazinamide tablets were bioequivalent,safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects under fasting and fed conditions.

Objective:To investigate the application value of ultrasound technology in transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate(TUERP).Methods:This study included 78 BPH patients admitted in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023,aged 70.68±8.63 years and with the indication of surgery.We randomly divided them into two groups to receive TUERP(the control group,n=39)and ultrasound-assisted TUERP(the US-TUERP group,n=39).We statistically analyzed and compared the rele-vant parameters obtained before and after operation between the two groups.Results:No statistically significant differences were ob-served in the operation time and bladder irrigation time between the two groups(P>0.05).More glandular tissues were removed but less intraoperative bleeding and fewer perioperative complications occurred in the US-TUERP group than in the control.Compared with the baseline,IPSS,postvoid residual urine volume(PVR),quality of life score(QOL)and maximum urinary flow rate(Qmax)were significantly improved in both groups at 1 and 3 months after surgery,even more significantly in the US-TUERP than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:US-TUERP helps achieve complete resection of the hyperplastic prostatic tissue along the surgical capsule at the anatomical level,with a higher safety,fewer perioperative complications,and better therapeutic effects.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the causes of missed diagnosis of clinically significant PCa(csPCa)by targe-ted biopsy(TB).Methods:This retrospective study included 652 males aged(71.32±16.53)years with elevated PSA and ab-normal MRI signals detected in our hospital from June 2018 to December 2020.We further examined the patients by transperineal pros-tatic TB and systematic biopsy(SB),analyzed the detection rates of PCa and csPCa by TB and SB,and investigated the causes of missed diagnosis of csPCa in TB using the fishbone diagram.Results:The total detection rate of PCa and csPCa by TB combined with SB was 45.7%(298/652),and that of csPCa was 37.4%(244/652),with 38 cases of csPCa missed in TB,including 23 cases of negative TB and 15 cases of low ISUP grade.The causes of missed diagnosis of csPCa by TB included low MRI image quality,PSA density≤0.15 ng/ml/cm3,target area<10 mm,and PI-RADS 2 score≤3.The detection rate of csPCa by TB alone was 31.6%,which was increased by 5.8%(P=0.027)when TB combined with SB.Conclusion:TB combined with SB yields a higher de-tection rate of csPCa than either used alone.Missed diagnosis of csPCa by TB is closely related to the characteristics of tumor and MR image of the target area.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficiency of China-made Toumai Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prosta-tectomy(LRP).Methods:This study included 40 cases of PCa treated from January 2023 to May 2023 by robot-assisted LRP with preservation of the bladder neck and maximal functional urethral length,15 cases with the assistance of Toumai Robot(the TMR group)and the other 25 with the assistance of da Vinci Robot as controls(the DVR group).We recorded the docking time,laparo-scopic surgery time,vesico-urethral anastomosis time,intraoperative blood loss and postoperative urinary continence,and compared them between the two groups.Results:Operations were successfully completed in all the cases.No statistically significant differ-ences were observed between the TMR and DVR groups in the docking time(6 min vs 5 min,P＞0.05)or intraoperative blood loss(200 ml vs 150 ml,P＞0.05).The TMR group,compared with the DVR group,showed a significantly longer median laparoscopic surgery time(146 min vs 130 min,P＜0.05)and median vesico-urethral anastomosis time(19 min vs 16 min,P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences between the TMR and DVR groups in the rates of urinary continence recovery immediately af-ter surgery(60.0％[9/15]vs 64.0％[16/25],P＞0.05)or at 1 month(80.0％[12/15])vs(76.0％[19/25],P＞0.05),3 months(93.3％[14/15])vs(92.0％[23/25],P＞0.05)and 6 months postoperatively(100％[15/15])vs(96％[24/25],P＞0.05).Conclusion:China-made Toumai? Robot surgical system is safe and reliable for laparoscopic radical prosta-tectomy,with satisfactory postoperative recovery of urinary continence.

Objective:To explore the application of modified scrotoscopic surgery(MSS)in the treatment of testicular hydro-cele.Methods:We selected 45 cases of testicular hydrocele for this study,22 treated by traditional scrotoscopic surgery(TSS)and the other 23 by MSS,which was performed with a pin-shaped electrode bent inward at an angle of 60° instead of a circular electrode used in TSS.We recorded the general clinical data,operation time,incision length,intraoperative injury,incision infection,scrotal e-dema,postoperative hospital stay and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores of the patients and compared them between the two groups.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the general clinical data between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with the patients of the TSS group,those of the MSS group showed significantly shorter operative time([32.86±3.80]vs[26.13±2.81]min,P＜0.05),incision length([14.09±2.23]vs[8.73±1.48]mm,P＜0.05)and postopera-tive hospital stay([4.36±1.05]vs[2.00±0.90]d,P＜0.05),and achieved remarkably lower VAS scores on postoperative days 1(4.41±1.05 vs 3.09±0.79,P＜0.05),2(3.36±1.05 vs 2.78±1.13,P＜0.05),3(2.65±0.72 vs 1.74±0.86,P＜0.05)and 7(1.91±0.81 vs 1.04±0.82,P＜0.05).At 3 and 7 days after surgery,scrotal edema was markedly mil-der in the MSS than in the TSS group(P＜0.05).No testicular or epididymal damage,or wound infection occurred in either of the two groups.Conclusion:MSS is safe and effective in the treatment of testicular hydrocele,superior to TSS for its advantages of shorter operation time,smaller surgical incision,less postoperative pain and milder scrotal edema.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens and change of homology of Acinetobacter bau-mannii(AB)in intensive care units(ICUs)of partial medical institutions in Shanghai before and after the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods Pathogens were isolated and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS),the whole genome of AB was sequenced using Illumina Miseq sequencing platform,and its genetic relationship was explored based on multilocus sequence typing(MLST)and core genome multilocus sequence typing(cgMLST).Results The total detection rate of patho-gens in ICU environment after the pandemic was lower than before the pandemic([6.10％,101/1 656]vs[10.77％,181/1 680];P＜0.05).Before and after the pandemic,the proportion of AB detected on the surface of bedding in the ICU environment remained at the highest level.After the pandemic,the ST types showed a diverse distribution.MLST_Pasteur results showed that 162 strains of AB were divided into 20 ST types,with ST2(80.25％,n=130)being the main type.MLST_Oxford results showed that there were 19 ST types among 162 strains,with ST208(37.04％,n=60)being the main type.The clustering analysis based on cgMLST showed that ST208_Oxford had closer genetic relationship with ST540_Oxford and ST369_Oxford after the pandemic.ST164_Pasteur clone changed from ST234_Oxford before the pandemic to ST1418_Oxford after the pandemic,and 2 new types of ST_Pasteurr and 11 new types of ST_Oxford were discovered.Conclusion The detection rate of pathogens from ICU environment after the pandemic is lower than before the pandemic,and the distribution of ST types is slightly different at the same detection sites before and after the pandemic.ST2_Pasteur/ST208_Oxford is still the dominant epidemic clone before and after the pandemic,but some alleles have changed.cgMLST is more accurate than MLST_Oxford and MLST_Pasteur in homology analysis,evolution,spread,and outbreak analysis.

Background and objective Pembrolizumab(PEM)has been shown to be effective in clinical trials for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),but clinical trials were based on cohorts of patients selected on specific criteria,and whether the findings are consistent with real-world patients is debatable.The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEM in the treatment of advanced NSCLC based on real-world data.Methods A retro-spective collection of real-world data from patients with advanced NSCLC receiving PEM was conducted.Propensity score matching was used to eliminate inter-group differences and assess the efficacy and safety of PEM compared to chemotherapy.Results Among 450 matched patients,the incidence rates of any-grade adverse events were 79.87％in the PEM group and86.71％inthe chemotherapy group,while the incidence rates of grade＞3 adverse events were 4.03％and 7.31％,respectively.The objective response rates were 48.63％for PEM and 36.00％for chemotherapy(P=0.011).The median progression-free survival was 15.5 months for PEM and 8.8 months for chemotherapy(P＜0.001),and the median overall survival was not reached for PEM and 26.2 months for chemotherapy(P＜0.001).Conclusion PEM treatment for advanced NSCLC demonstrates favorable survival outcomes and acceptable safety in real-world clinical practice.

Objective To investigate disease characteristics and hospitalization costs of children with Mycoplasma Pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)admitted to Shanghai municipal medical hospitals from 2019 to 2023.Methods Depending on the Shanghai Municipal Hospital Pediatric Alliance,we retrospectively investigated community acquired MPP pediatric patients hospitalized in 22 municipal hospitals with pediatric qualifications(including 4 children's hospitals)in Shanghai from Jan 2019 to Dec 2023.We collected the patients'diagnosis codes,gender,age,length of hospital stay,hospitalization costs,and whether they progressed to severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(SMPP).Results From 2019 to 2023,a total of 29 045 hospitalized children with MPP were treated,with 6 035 cases(20.8%)identified as SMPP in the 22 hospitals.Trend analysis revealed a rising trend with years in the proportion of SMPP patients(χ2trend=365.498,P<0.001).Among the 4 children's hospitals,there were 18 710 cases with MPP,including 4 078 cases(21.8%)of SMPP.The proportion of SMPP patients also showed an increasing trend with years(χ2trend=14.548,P<0.001),and the proportion in 2023(23.0%)was higher than that in previous years with statistical significance.There were statistical differences in the seasonal distribution of MPP cases between different years,with higher proportions in summer and autumn overall.The age distribution of hospitalized MPP children varied among different years,with school-age children accounting for the majority(56.8%)in 2023.There was no difference in the distribution of severe cases between different genders,but there were differences in the proportion of severe cases among different age groups in different years,with a gradual increase in severe cases among children aged 1 to 3 years(χ2trend=191.567,P<0.001).The average length of hospital stay for MPP during the epidemic was higher than that during non-epidemic periods,and there were statistically significant differences in the average length of hospital stay between different years(P<0.001).The individual hospitalization costs during the epidemic were higher than in other years,and there were statistically significant differences in individual hospitalization costs between different years(P<0.001).The total hospitalization costs were still higher in 2019 and 2023.The individual hospitalization costs for SMPP were higher than for non-SMPP cases.Conclusion MPP outbreaks occurred in Shanghai in 2019 and 2023,with the higher proportions in summer and autumn overall.Compared to previous years,the number of hospitalized MPP children in Shanghai was higher in 2023,with a higher proportion of SMPP cases,especially among children under 3 years old.The individual per capita hospitalization expenses for SMPP cases were higher than for non-SMPP cases.
