Objective To analyze the effects of vesicoprostatic muscle(VPM)reconstruction on the early urinary control recovery and safety of patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP).Methods A total of 128 patients who underwent RARP in our hospital during Sep.1,2021 and Aug.31,2023 were enrolled and divided into the non-reconstruction group(n=64)and reconstruction group(n=64)using random number table method.The reconstruction group received Montsouris+VPM reconstruction surgery,while the non-reconstructive group underwent Montsouris surgery only.Urinary control and perioperative data were collected with telephone interview,outpatient follow-up and inpatient records.The two groups were matched using overlap weighting and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate urinary incontinence rates at 1,2 and 3 months after extubation.Early urinary control(3 months after extubation),operation time,intraoperative bleeding,positive rate of incision margin,and incidence of early postoperative complications(＜30 days)(Clavien-Dindo scale)were compared between the two groups.Results The recovery rate of urinary control at 1,2 and 3 months after extubation was significantly higher in the reconstruction group than that in the non-reconstruction group(33.9％vs.11.2％;46.7％vs.16.1％;70.6％vs.45.6％,P＜0.05),but the positive rate of resection margin was lower(16.1％vs.41.7％,P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in operation time,intraoperative bleeding and early postoperative complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion VPM reconstruction can improve urinary control recovery in RARP patients early after extubation without increasing the risk of surgery.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the cost-utility of sacituzumab govitecan （SG） versus single-agent chemotherapy in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive （HR+）/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative （HER2－） advanced metastatic breast cancer. METHODS From the perspective of the Chinese medical system， a three-state partitioned survival model was constructed to examine the cost-utility of SG versus single-agent chemotherapy based on TROPiCS-02 trial. The cycle length was set to 1 month， and the time horizon was 10 years. The annual discount was 5%. The model output included total costs and quality adjusted life month （QALM）， and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER） was calculated for cost-utility analysis， by setting willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold at 3 times gross domestic product （GDP） per capita of China in 2023 （22 340 yuan/QALM）. Univariate sensitivity analyses， probability sensitivity analyses， and scenario analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of the results and calculate the price threshold when SG had economic advantages. RESULTS SG group gained incremental 4.25 QALM and 561 570 yuan compared with single-agent chemotherapy， which resulted in an ICER of 132 102/QALM that was higher than WTP. The results of the univariate sensitivity analysis showed that the monthly average cost of SG had the greatest impact on the results； the results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that the probability of SG scheme being cost-effective at the WTP threshold was 0. The results of scenario analysis showed that the conclusions of this study were robust under different time horizons （5， 10， 15 years）. The price threshold for SG being cost-effective was 1 344 yuan per 180 mg. CONCLUSIONS Based on the perspective of Chinese medical system， SG appears to be not cost-effective compared with single-agent chemotherapy for HR+/ HER2－ advanced metastatic breast cancer at the price of 8 400 yuan per 180 mg. A substantial price cut should be taken to be cost- effective.

The PCR-amplified severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus(SFTSV)Gn-DⅢ-Ⅲ gene was inserted into the pET-30a(+)prokaryotic expression vector to generate the re-combinant plasmid pET-SFTSV-Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ.The plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)for Gn-DⅢ-m protein expression and the expression conditions were optimized.The Gn-DⅢ-Ⅲ protein purified with Ni-NTA column affinity chromatography was applied as the captured antigen to establish an indirect ELISA method for the detection of SFTSV antibody.The results demonstrated that the recombinant plasmid pET-SFTSV-Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ was successfully constructed as identified by PCR and sequencing.The recombinant protein SFTSV Gn-D m-Ⅲ was soluble ex-pression in E.coli under the optimal induction conditions of 0.4 mmol/L IPTG at 25 ℃ for 4 h,and the protein purity was 91.77％after purification by Ni-NTA column.The optimal reaction con-ditions for the indirect ELISA of SFTSV antibody were as follows:coating antigen concentration(5 μg/mL),primary antibody(incubation at 37 ℃ for 1.5 h),and secondary antibody(diluted 1:10 000 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 1 h).The established method had no cross-reactivity with Rift Valley fever virus(RVFV),Ebola virus(EBOV),and tick-borne encephalitis virus(TBEV)posi-tive sera.The method had a high sensitivity,with P/N＞2.1 for SFTSV-positive sera diluted to 81920.Coefficients of variation for intra-and inter-batch reactions were less than 10％.Detection of four SFTSV-infected human clinical serum samples showed the serum samples from patients in re-mission were tested as positive(P/N＞2.1),while serum samples from patients with multiple or-gan failure were detected as negative(P/N＜2.1).The results indicated that the SFTSV Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ protein was successfully expressed and purified,and it was used as the coating protein to estab-lish an indirect ELISA assay for SFTSV antibody,which possesses good specificity,sensitivity and reproducibility.This method might be applied to detect human SFTSV clinical serum samples.

Objective To construct and verify a nomogram model for predicting social urinary control recovery in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) immediately after extubation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 64 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated by a single surgeon. The immediate urinary control status of the patients after removal of the catheter was evaluated, and LASSO regression was used for feature screening. Multiple Logistic regression was performed on the selected features to determine independent risk factors and establish a predictive model. And the discriminability, calibration, and clinical practicality of the model were evaluated using receiver operating curve (ROC), Hosmer Lemeshow test and calibration curve, and clinical decision curve (DCA) analysis. Results The variables in the outcome prediction model include D'Amico grading and distance of the levator muscle. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.742 (95%CI, 0.500 to 0.913, P < 0.001), indicating that the model had good discriminability. The calibration curve indicated that the model had good calibration ability. The DCA curve showed good clinical practicality. Conclusion The clinical predictive model developed inthis study can predict the recovery of immediate social urinary control in patients with RARP after surgery, which can further quantify the probability of achieving immediate social continence.

This study constructed a nano-drug delivery system, A3@GMH, by co-delivering the stapled anoplin peptide(Ano-3, A3) with the light-harvesting material graphene oxide(GO), and evaluated its oncolytic immunotherapy effect on triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC). A3@GMH was prepared using an emulsion template method and its physicochemical properties were characterized. The in vivo and in vitro photothermal conversion abilities of A3@GMH were investigated using an infrared thermal imager. The oncoly-tic activity of A3@GMH against TNBC 4T1 cells was evaluated through cell counting kit-8(CCK-8), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release, live/dead cell staining, and super-resolution microscopy. The targeting properties of A3@GMH on 4T1 cells were assessed using a high-content imaging system and flow cytometry. In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to investigate the antitumor mechanism of A3@GMH in combination with photothermal therapy(PTT) through inducing immunogenic cell death(ICD) in 4T1 cells. The results showed that the prepared A3@GMH exhibited distinct mesoporous and coated structures with an average particle size of(308.9±7.5) nm and a surface potential of(-6.79±0.58) mV. The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of A3 were 23.9%±0.6% and 20.5%±0.5%, respectively. A3@GMH demonstrated excellent photothermal conversion ability and biological safety. A3@GMH actively mediated oncolytic features such as 4T1 cell lysis and LDH release, as well as ICD effects, and showed enhanced in vitro antitumor activity when combined with PTT. In vivo, A3@GMH efficiently induced ICD effects with two rounds of PTT, activated the host's antitumor immune response, and effectively suppressed tumor growth in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice, achieving an 88.9% tumor inhibition rate with no apparent toxic side effects. This study suggests that the combination of stapled anoplin peptide and PTT significantly enhances the oncolytic immunotherapy for TNBC and provides a basis for the innovative application of anti-tumor peptides derived from TCM in TNBC treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of local anesthesia in patients with a PI-RADS score of 5 and ECOG score ≥2 for prostate puncture.Methods:Retrospective analysis of case data of 33 patients admitted to the Subei People's Hospital for prostate puncture from April 2020 to April 2022. Age (82.5±3.6) years. There were 18 cases with hypertensive disease, 8 cases with diabetes mellitus, and 6 cases with both diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disease. Body mass index (25.2±3.5) kg/m 2. prostate-specific antigen (PSA)(131.5±69.7) ng/ml. prostate volume (38.5±21.4) ml. all patients had a PI-RADS score of 5 on multiparametric magnetic resonance (mpMRI) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≥2. All 33 cases in this group underwent trans-perineal targeted prostate puncture using local anesthesia at the tip of the prostate. The visual analog score (VAS) and visual numeric score (VNS) were applied by the same surgeon to assess the patient's pain level and satisfaction at the time of puncture (VAS-1 and VNS-1) and 30 min after puncture (VAS-2 and VNS-2), and to record the duration of the procedure and the occurrence of postoperative complications. Results:In this group of 33 cases, the VAS-1 score was (1.9±0.3) and the VAS-2 score was (0.1±0.2); the VNS-1 score was (2.9±0.2) and the VNS-2 score was (3.9±0.1). Postoperative pathological results indicated that one of the 33 patients had a negative puncture result (pathology report indicating interstitial inflammation), while the rest of the patients had a positive puncture pathology report (puncture pathology report indicating prostate cancer), with a positive rate of 97%. One case of postoperative carnal haematuria occurred, which gradually improved after the patient was advised to drink water and take alpha-blockers. No perineal hematoma occurred, and all patients did not suffer complications such as urinary tract infection, urinary retention, azoospermia, vagal reaction, and infectious shock.Conclusion:In patients with a PI-RADS score of 5 and ECOG score ≥2, the use of single-hole local anesthesia for performing trans-perineal targeted puncture biopsy has the advantages of good paroxysmal pain and high safety.

Objective:To investigate the factors affecting the effect of periprostatic nerve block (PNB), establish a prediction model of pain degree, and verify the prediction efficiency.Methods:The clinical data of 314 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in our hospital from June 2022 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 71 (65, 76) years, the median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 14.6 (10.70, 24.65) ng/ml, and the median puncture needle number was 21 (19, 23) needles, median prostate volume 45.86 (31.52, 67.96) ml, median body mass index (BMI)24.02(22.97, 25.33)kg/m 2, including 109 patients with a history of diabetes, 90 patients with a history of surgery, and 57 patients with a history of severe trauma. The patients were divided into mild pain group (1-3 points), moderate pain group (4-6 points) and severe pain group (7-10 points) according to the intraoperative visual analogue scale (VAS). According to the clinical characteristics, the factors affecting the effect of PNB were analyzed by univariate analysis and multiple ordered logistic regression method. R language was used to construct a nomogram model for predicting PNB effect, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were drawn, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was carried out to verify the prediction efficiency of the model. Results:The results of univariate analysis showed that 171 patients in the mild pain group had a median age of 71 (65, 75) years, a median PSA14.5 (9.6, 24.6) ng/ml, a median number of puncture needles of 20 (18, 22), and a median prostate volume of 34.94 (26.36, 45.12) ml, median BMI24.17(23.14, 25.79)kg/m 2, including 74 patients with a history of diabetes, 51 patients with a history of surgery, and 40 patients with a history of severe trauma; There were 110 patients in the moderate pain group, the median age was 71 (65, 76) years, the median PSA14.8 (11.03, 24.27) ng/ml, the median number of puncture needles was 23 (20, 24) needles, median prostatic volume 63.24 (49.14, 78.72) ml, median BMI23.91(22.58, 24.88)kg/m 2, including 26 patients with a history of diabetes, 29 patients with a history of surgery, and 10 patients with a history of severe trauma; In the severe pain group, 33 patients had a median age of 73 (67, 78) years, a median PSA14.6 (10.85, 34.80) ng/ml, and a median puncture needle number of 23 (22.5, 24) needles, median prostate volume 70.64 (61.50, 104.51) ml, median BMI24.32(23.00, 26.06)kg/m 2, including 9 patients with a history of diabetes, 10 patients with a history of surgery, and 7 patients with a history of severe trauma. The results of univariate analysis showed that the number of puncture needles ( P<0.01), prostate volume ( P<0.01), history of diabetes ( P=0.002) and history of major trauma ( P= 0.009) were the factors affecting the effect of PNB. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that puncture needle number ( P=0.009), prostate volume ( P<0.01) and diabetes history ( P=0.041) were independent risk factors for PNB effect. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the moderate and above pain prediction model was 0.872, P<0.01; the area under ROC curve of the severe pain prediction model was 0.817, P<0.01; the result of Hosmer-Lemeshow test of the moderate and above pain prediction model was χ2=5.001, P=0.757. The results of the severe pain prediction model were χ2=4.452 and P=0.814. The calibration curve was established, which showed that the prediction probability of pain degree was in good agreement with the actual risk. Conclusions:The number of puncture needles, prostate volume and history of diabetes are the risk factors affecting the effect of PNB. The prediction model of PNB effect based on this model can be used to predict the pain degree of patients undergoing prostate biopsy after PNB.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of glucose metabolism disorders on the short-term prognosis in neonates with asphyxia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of the neonates with asphyxia who were admitted to 52 hospitals in Hubei Province of China from January to December, 2018 and had blood glucose data within 12 hours after birth. Their blood glucose data at 1, 2, 6, and 12 hours after birth (with an allowable time error of 0.5 hour) were recorded. According to the presence or absence of brain injury and/or death during hospitalization, the neonates were divided into a poor prognosis group with 693 neonates and a good prognosis group with 779 neonates. The two groups were compared in the incidence of glucose metabolism disorders within 12 hours after birth and short-term prognosis. RESULTS: Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had a significantly higher proportion of neonates from secondary hospitals (48.5% vs 42.6%, CONCLUSIONS Recurrent hyperglycemia in neonates with asphyxia may suggest poor short-term prognosis, and it is necessary to strengthen the early monitoring and management of the nervous system in such neonates.

To address the increasing need for detecting and validating protein biomarkers in clinical specimens, mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomic techniques, including the selected reaction monitoring (SRM), parallel reaction monitoring (PRM), and massively parallel data-independent acquisition (DIA), have been developed. For optimal performance, they require the fragment ion spectra of targeted peptides as prior knowledge. In this report, we describe a MS pipe-line and spectral resource to support targeted proteomics studies for human tissue samples. To build the spectral resource, we integrated common open-source MS computational tools to assemble a freely accessible computational workflow based on Docker. We then applied the workflow to gen-erate DPHL, a comprehensive DIA pan-human library, from 1096 data-dependent acquisition (DDA) MS raw files for 16 types of cancer samples. This extensive spectral resource was then applied to a proteomic study of 17 prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Thereafter, PRM validation was applied to a larger study of 57 PCa patients and the differential expression of three proteins in prostate tumor was validated. As a second application, the DPHL spectral resource was applied to a study consisting of plasma samples from 19 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients and 18 healthy control subjects. Differentially expressed proteins between DLBCL patients and healthy control subjects were detected by DIA-MS and confirmed by PRM. These data demonstrate that the DPHL supports DIA and PRM MS pipelines for robust protein biomarker discovery. DPHL is freely accessible at https://www.iprox.org/page/project.html?id=IPX0001400000.

Fingerprints of lipophilic components in the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza and S.yunnanensis were analyzed by UPLC-DADand UPLC coupled with mass spectroscopy to evaluate the differences and similarities of the lipophilic components in the two kinds of herbs.The UPLC analysis of 18 batches of S.miltiorrhiza and 16 batches of S.yunnanensis was performed on a 25℃Thermo Accucore C_(18)column(2.1 mm×100 mm,2.6μm)by Shimadzu LC-20AD;mobile phase was 0.026%phosphoric acid(A)-acetonitrile(B)with gradient elution;flow rate was 0.4 m L·min~(-1);detection wavelength was set at 270 nm;injection volume was 2μL.The molecular structures of the lipophilic components were analyzed on a 25℃Thermo Accucore C_(18)column(2.1 mm×100 mm,2.6μm)by Thermo U3000 UPLC Q Exactive Orbitrap LC-MS/MS with a mobile phaseconsisting of 0.1%formic acid water(A)and 0.1%formic acidacetonitrile(B).The mass spectrometry was acquired in positive modes using ESI.There are 10 common peaks in the lipophilic components of S.miltiorrhiza.The similarity between the 16 batches of S.miltiorrhiza and their own reference spectra was greater than 0.942,and the average similarity was 0.973.There are 12 common peaks in the lipophilic components of S.yunnanensis.The similarity between the 18 batches of S.yunnanensis and their own reference spectra was greater than 0.937,and the average similarity was 0.976.The similarity between the reference chromatograms of S.miltiorrhiza and S.yunnanensis was only 0.900.There are three lipophilic components in S.yunnanensis,which are not found in S.miltiorrhiza,and one of which isα-lapachone.There is a lipophilic component in S.miltiorrhiza not found in S.yunnanensis,which may be miltirone.The two herbs contain 8 common lipophilic components including dihydrotanshinoneⅠ,cryptotanshinone,tanshinoneⅠ,tanshinoneⅡ_A,nortanshinone in which the content of tanshinoneⅡ_A,dihydrotanshinoneⅠand cryptotanshinone of S.yunnanensisis significantly lower than that of S.miltiorrhiza(P<0.01),and the contents of tanshinoneⅠand nortanshinone are significantly lower than that of S.miltiorrhiza too(P<0.05).There are significant differences in the types and contents of lipophilic components between the roots of S.miltiorrhiza and S.yunnanensis,and the similarity between the fingerprints of interspecies is much lower than that between the same species.Therefore,the roots of S.miltiorrhiza and S.yunnanensis are two kinds of herbs which are quite different in chemical compounds and compositions.
