Objective:To investigate the effects of unilateral ureteral obstruction on renal pelvic peristalsis and pacemaker cells in neonatal rats.Methods:An animal experimental study.Thirty-six 2-day-old newborn SD rats were randomly divided into the partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) group, complete unilateral ureteral obstruction (CUUO) group, and sham operation group, with 12 rats in each group.One week after surgery, all rats were subjected to renal pelvic pressure (RPP) measurement by puncture.After measurement, the rats were euthanized, and their left renal pelvis and ureter were removed and fixed for histological examination.Parameters such as RPP, peristaltic wave frequency and amplitude at different perfusion speeds were recorded and compared, and the changes in pacemaker cells (atypical smooth muscle cells and Cajal-like interstitial cells) were also compared.The independent samples t-test was used for comparison between 2 groups, and the one-way ANOVA of variance was used for comparison among 3 groups. Results:In the sham operation group, the RPP increased gradually with the increase of perfusion speed; the frequency of peristaltic waves rose rapidly and then dropped after reaching the highest level with the increase of perfusion speed; similarly, the amplitude of peristaltic waves first increased and then decreased as the perfusion speed increased.In the PUUO group, the RPP increased rapidly with the increase of perfusion speed, higher than that in the sham operation group; the frequency of peristaltic waves was higher than that in the sham operation group, and it was relatively constant under the perfusion speed of 40 mL/h, but when the perfusion speed increased again, the frequency began to decline; the amplitude of peristaltic waves increased quickly and then declined at a faster rate than the sham operation group with the increase of perfusion speed.In the CUUO group, the basic RPP was 12 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa); at the perfusion speed of 5 mL/h, the RPP rose gradually, and no plateau appeared; when the RPP reached 73 cmH 2O, the perfusate retrograded from the side of the puncture needle, then the RPP slightly decreased and then balanced, and no regular peristaltic waves were observed in the renal pelvis throughout the whole perfusion process.Immunofluorescence staining analysis showed the pacemaker cells were all located in the smooth muscle of the renal pelvic wall.The sham operation group had the highest positive rate, followed by the PUUO group and then the CUUO group. Conclusions:Ureteral obstruction has a significant impact on the peristalsis of the renal pelvis, and its impact on the peristaltic wave frequency and amplitude and RPP can be predicted.The reduction of pacemaker cells in the renal pelvis may be involved in the changes of renal pelvic peristalsis caused by ureteral obstruction, but further research is needed on how pacemaker cells regulate the peristalsis of the renal pelvis and ureter.

Objective To construct and identify a patient-derived organoid model,and to investigate the sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs using this model.Methods Pancreatic cancer cells were obtained from the surgical specimens of two female patients with a confirmed diagnosis of pancreatic cancer after tumor tissue digestion,and then the cells were inoculated into a culture dish using matrigel for three-dimensional culture.Paraffin sections were prepared for HE staining and immunohistochemical staining and were compared with the parent tumor tissue to determine whether the histopathological features of the tumor in vivo were preserved.The pancreatic cancer organoids were treated with seven chemotherapy drugs at different concentrations;Cell Titer-Glo?3D reagent was used to measure cell viability,and the results of drug sensitivity were analyzed.Results Two patient-derived pancreatic cancer organoids were successfully constructed,and HE staining and immunohistochemical staining showed that the pancreatic cancer organoids had consistent histopathological features with the tumors of the corresponding patient.Both pancreatic cancer organoids were more sensitive to gemcitabine monotherapy and the combination of oxaliplatin+SN38+fluorouracil,and patient 1 was more sensitive than patient 2.There were individual differences in the response to drugs between the organoids from different patients.Conclusion The pancreatic cancer organoid model successfully constructed in this study can reflect the histological classification of parent pancreatic tumors and can be used for in vitro chemotherapy drug sensitivity test,which is expected to provide a reference for clinical medication.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and prognosis of liver venous deprivation （LVD） versus portal vein embolization （PVE） in the treatment of hepatic malignancies with insufficient residual liver volume. MethodsThis study was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines， with a PROSPERO registration number of CRD42024533292. Databases including PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang Data， and VIP were searched for articles on the efficacy of LVD versus PVE. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria， related articles were screened for quality assessment and extraction of clinical data for LVD and PVE， and related data were summarized and analyzed. RevMan 5.3 was used to perform the Meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 12 articles （all cohort studies） were included， involving 644 patients （245 in the LVD group and 399 in the PVE group）. The Meta-analysis showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in FLR growth rate after embolization （standardized mean difference ［SMD］=0.84， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.59 ‍—‍ ‍1.09， P<0.05）， daily growth volume of FLR after embolization （SMD=1.19， 95%CI： 0.64‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.73， P<0.05）， the incidence rate of complications after embolization （risk ratio ［RR］=1.59， 95%CI： 1.06 ‍—‍ 2.38， P<0.05）， interval between embolization and second-stage surgery （SMD=-0.81， 95%CI： -1.32 to -0.29， P<0.05）， and the completion rate of second-stage surgery （RR=1.09， 95%CI： 1.01 ‍—‍ 1.18， P<0.05）. ConclusionCompared with PVE， LVD can enable patients to achieve FLR for surgery in a relatively short period of time， thereby reducing the incidence rate of disease progression， solving the problem of hypertrophic deficiency， achieving a higher second-stage surgical resection rate， and bringing more benefits to patients with liver cancer. In addition， LVD has similar safety profiles to PVE during second-stage surgery.

Objective To compare the analgesic effect, duration and incidence of adverse reactions of liposome bupivacaine (LB) and bupivacaine hydrochloride after intercostal nerve block in single-port thoracoscopic lung surgery. Methods In Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between September 2023 and March 2024, 228 patients who needed to undergo thoracoscopic lung surgery were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method: a group B with bupivacaine hydrochloride (n=118), and a group LB with LB (n=110). Intraoperative intercostal nerve block was performed under endoscopy, and the time of first use of analgesic drugs after surgery, cumulative use of opioids 72 h after surgery, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, length of stay and other indicators were evaluated and recorded. Results Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in the LB group were significantly lower than those in the group B (P<0.05). The total number of activities within 48 h after surgery in the group B was significantly lower than that in the LB group (P<0.05), and the postoperative hospitalization stay in the LB group was shorter than that in the group B, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in postoperative adverse reactions. Conclusion Intercostal nerve block with LB during single-port thoracoscopic lung surgery can significantly reduce postoperative pain, improve quality of life, and promote recovery of the patients. It is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To explore the correlation between personality traits and non suicidal self injury behavior in adolescent depression patients,in order to enhance understanding of the psychological health risks of depression patients.Methods This study was conducted at the Wuhan Mental Health Center from September 2021 to September 2023.A total of 138 patients with first-onset moderate to severe adolescent depression were included.The patients were divided into a group without self injury suicidal behavior(n=25),a non suicidal self injury(NSSI)group(n=78),and an attempted suicide(SA)group(n=35).Collect general information and data on neurotic personality scores,negative life events,emotional states,and social psychological factors using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD-24),and other psychological assessment tools.Using statistical methods for correlation and regression analysis to study the relationship between personality traits and non suicidal self injury behavior.Results There were significant differences in personality traits such as internal and external tendencies,psychoticism,neuroticism,and concealment among the non self injurious suicide behavior group,non suicidal self injurious behavior group,and suicide behavior group.The scores of the non suicidal self injurious behavior group and suicide behavior group were generally higher than those of the non self injurious self injurious behavior group(P<0.05);There were significant differences in self injury behavior scores among these three groups,especially in the suicide behavior group,which had the highest score,but there was no significant difference in life event scores;There were significant differences in scores for anxiety,depression,childhood trauma,stressful life events,and self-esteem among the three groups.Among them,the suicide behavior group had the highest scores for anxiety,depression,childhood trauma,and stressful life events,but the lowest score for self-esteem(P<0.05);Internal and external tendencies,psychoticism,neuroticism,and concealment are significantly correlated with non suicidal self injury behavior,and multiple regression analysis results show that these factors,as well as anxiety,depression,childhood trauma,stressful life events,and self-esteem,are inde-pendent influencing factors of non suicidal self injury behavior.The best predictive threshold for internal and exter-nal tendencies is-10.5%.Conclusion This study reveals the correlation between personality traits and non sui-cidal self injury behavior in adolescent depression patients.Understanding these relationships in clinical practice and intervention strategies can help better identify high-risk groups and provide personalized mental health support.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of mpox patients, thereby to rise clinicians′ awareness of severe mpox and provide a foundation for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 41 mpox patients treated at the Beijing You′an Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June to November 2023. Patients were categorized into mild and severe cases based on clinical manifestations, and laboratory results of the two groups were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The clinical manifestations of 41 mpox patients mainly included fever, rash and lymphadenopathy. Five patients with severe mpox might develop serious complications, including bacterial pneumonia, type Ⅰ respiratory failure, fungal infections, penile or perianal dry gangrene, penile soft tissue edema, intestinal obstruction, septic shock, perianal abscess, and necrotizing fasciitis. Patients with severe mpox had significantly higher white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level compare to those with mild cases (14.60(9.92, 24.08)×10 9/L vs 6.41(5.64, 8.37)×10 9/L, 12.43(7.02, 21.15)×10 9/L vs 3.35(2.46, 5.03)×10 9/L, 108.20(56.20, 124.10) mg/L vs 16.6(6.25, 49.98) mg/L), while the albumin level and CD4 + T lymphocyte count in the severe group were significantly lower compared to the mild cases (31.80(22.90, 35.15) g/L vs 44.70(42.90, 47.40) g/L, 24.00(12.00, 81.50)/μL vs 606.00(414.50, 767.50)/μL)). All these differences were statistically significant ( U=2.81, 3.02, 2.98, 3.56 and 3.26, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions:In clinical practice, clinicians should be vigilant for the possibility of severe mpox if patients exhibit a significant increase of WBC and CRP, a significant decrease in CD4 + T lymphocyte count, or if they develop severe complications.

Objective:To analyze the current status of internet-based patient education materials related to labor analgesia in China.Methods:Labor analgesia-related materials were retrieved and screened according to the search habits of Chinese search engine users. The coverage and accuracy of the content were evaluated by 3 anesthesiologists. The Chinese version of the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Print Materials was used to subjectively assess comprehensibility and operability from a medical text perspective. The consistency of the evaluation results of the three anesthesiologists was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient method. A machine learning method combined with ChatGPT-4.0 was employed to establish a Chinese readability classification model to objectively evaluate the readability difficulty of the included materials from a Chinese text perspective.Results:A total of 97 web pages were retrieved, with 21 valid materials included in the study. The coverage rate of contraindications for labor analgesia was only 62% (13/21), and the accuracy rate of materials exceeding 90% was 71% (15/21). Internet-based materials that were easy to understand accounted for 81% (17/21), while the constituent ratio of internet-based materials with instructional significance were only 5% (1/21). The intraclass correlation coefficient values of consistency evaluation for coverage rate, accuracy rate, and comprehensibility and operability were 0.975, 0.833, 0.758, and 0.773, respectively ( P<0.001). Internet-based materials suitable for compulsory education level were only 5% (1/21), while those suitable for high school and above education level accounted for 43% (9/21). Conclusions:There are numerous internet-based patient education materials related to labor analgesia in China, but the quality needs improvement. In the future, a collaborative model of " anesthesiology+ linguistics" should be developed to provide patients with more comprehensive, accurate, and pregnant-friendly patient education materials.

Objective:To investigate the role of group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) in skin wound healing, and to explore the underlying mechanisms.Methods:Twenty-four 5-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly and equally allocated into 3 groups: the skin wound + ILC3 inhibitor group (referred to as ILC3 inhibitor group), the skin wound group, and the control group, with 8 mice in each group. Four days before the establishment of the wound model, mice in the ILC3 inhibitor group were intraperitoneally injected with 1 μg of ILC3 inhibitor every 2 days for a total of 2 doses, mice in the skin wound group were injected with an equal volume of physiological saline solution, and mice in the control group were fed normally. To establish a mouse skin wound model, a full-thickness circular incision with a diameter of 0.6 cm was made around the midpoint of the dorsal midline using a biopsy punch after the intraperitoneal injection of anesthetics, which was histologically confirmed to be a full-thickness injury. The size of the wounds was observed and recorded, photographs of the wounds were taken on days 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 after wounding, and corresponding wound healing rates were calculated. On day 9 after wounding, tissue samples were collected from the wound edges, and subjected to flow cytometry analysis to quantify ILC3 infiltrating around the skin wound, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to assess the healing status of the skin wounds. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR), Notch1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL) -17A, IL-17F, and IL-22 in the wound-edge tissues, and Western blot analysis to determine their protein expression. Statistical analysis was carried out by using one-way analysis of variance and t test. Results:On day 9 after wounding, the skin wound group showed an increased number of ILC3 in the wound-edge tissues (5.31% ± 1.47% vs. 3.10% ± 0.54%, P < 0.01), increased mRNA and protein expression of TNF-α, IL-22, IL-17A, and IL-17F (all P < 0.05), but decreased mRNA and protein expression of VDR (both P < 0.05) compared with the control group; the protein expression of Notch1 was significantly higher in the skin wound group than in the control group ( P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in its mRNA expression between the two groups ( P > 0.05). On days 1, 3 and 5, the wound healing rates were significantly higher in the ILC3 inhibitor group (45.17% ± 9.90%, 61.58% ± 11.61%, 75.61% ± 9.12%, respectively) than in the skin wound group (25.87% ± 10.96%, 47.78% ± 13.81%, 64.55% ± 10.29%, respectively, all P < 0.05). On day 9, the ILC3 inhibitor group showed a decreased number of ILC3 around the wound (2.69% ± 0.95%, P < 0.01), decreased mRNA and protein expression of TNF-α, IL-22, IL-17A, and IL-17F in the wound-edge tissues (all P < 0.05), but increased mRNA and protein expression of Notch1 and VDR in the wound-edge tissues (all P < 0.05) compared with the skin wound group. On day 9 after wounding, histopathological examination with HE staining revealed continuous and intact epithelial structure, as well as dense and neatly arranged collagen fibers in the ILC3 inhibitor group, and the structures of hair follicles, blood vessels, and sebaceous glands were similar to those in the control group. Conclusions:Skin ILC3 infiltrated local wounds and were involved in the skin wound healing process through inflammatory factors such as TNF-α, IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22. Downregulating the number of ILC3 may promote skin wound healing by activating VDR and Notch1, as well as inhibiting the TNF-α signaling pathway and the expression of downstream inflammatory factors.

Objective:To construct a remote screening network for breast cancer based on automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and explore the value of ABUS with remote reading for breast cancer screening.Methods:We constructed a remote breast cancer screening network including one remote reading center and 48 image-acquisition centers. We recruited women to participate in breast cancer screening at one of these image-acquisition centers from January 2021 to January 2023. The technicians collected the whole breast images using the ABUS. The images were then sent to the reading center through the PVBUS System and interpreted independently by two radiologists using the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). BI-RADS categories 1 and 2 indicate negative screening results, and women diagnosed with these categories were recommended for annual breast ultrasound screening. BI-RADS categories 3, 4, and 5 indicate positive results. Women with BI-RADS category 3 lesions were recommended for follow-up examinations every 6 months using ABUS or handheld ultrasound, while those with BI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions were suggested to undergo pathological examinations.Results:In our study, we enrolled 10 344 women who completed the ABUS screening and were followed up for more than 12 months. After remote reading, 6 164 women were diagnosed with BI-RADS category 1 and 2 626 woman were within BI-RADS category 2. In contrast, 1 404 women were within BI-RADS category 3, a total of 135 women were within BI-RADS category 4, and 15 women were within BI-RADS category 5. The positive screening rate of ABUS was 15.0% (1 554/10 344). The ABUS with remote reading had a detection rate of 3.7/1 000 (38/10 344) for breast cancer screening, with a sensitivity of 97.4% (38/39) and a specificity of 85.3% (8 789/10 305). Among the 38 breast cancer cases detected, 92.1% (35/38) were invasive carcinomas, and 63.2% (24/38) were stage 0 or Ⅰ breast cancers.Conclusions:Breast cancer screening based on ABUS with remote reading provided an efficient and feasible solution to the problem of unevenly distributed medical resources and medical staff levels in various regions of China, enabling the decentralization of high-quality medical resources and improving the accessibility of high-quality screening services. It has provided an alternative for breast cancer screening in China.
