Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors in China. Given their lack of obviously early symptoms, more than half of patients with cervical cancer are diagnosed in the middle and late stages of this malignancy, resulting in poor prognosis. Finding new therapeutic targets is the current research direction. Metabolomics, as a new omics technology, is expected to provide new targets for tumor precision diagnosis and treatment through the analysis of the changes and potential mechanisms of metabolites in tumor occurrence and development by chromatography, mass spectrometry, and other technologies. Herein, we review the research methods of metabolomics; metabolic characteristics of cervical cancer; and progress of the research on metabolomics in cervical cancer diagnosis, curative effect prediction, and prognosis evaluation to provide new ideas for the precise diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application value of a predictive model for the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporin in the treatment of community-acquired spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (CASBP). MethodsThis prospective study was conducted among 50 patients with liver cirrhosis and CASBP who were admitted to The Ninth Hospital of Nanchang from January 2021 to June 2022, and the patients were randomly divided into optimized treatment group and traditional treatment group, with 25 patients in each group. The patients in the optimized treatment group received ceftazidime or imipenem for initial treatment based on the above predictive model, and those in the traditional treatment group received ceftazidime for initial treatment, with the subsequent use of antibiotics adjusted based on the efficacy of initial treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the response rate of initial treatment, cure rate on day 5, and 30-day mortality rate. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAll patients completed the study. The optimized treatment group had a significantly higher response rate of initial treatment than the traditional treatment group (88.0% vs 60.0%, χ2=5.094, P=0.024), while there was no significant difference in the cure rate on day 5 between the two groups (80.0% vs 56.6%, χ2=3.309, P=0.069). As for the patients who received ceftazidime for initial treatment, the optimized treatment group had a significantly higher response rate of initial treatment than the traditional treatment group (88.9% vs 60.0%, χ2=4.341, P=0.037), while there was no significant difference in the cure rate on day 5 between the two groups (83.3% vs 56.0%, χ2=2.425, P=0.119). There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rate between the two groups (8.0% vs 20.0%, χ2=0.664, P=0.415). For all patients, there was a significant association between response of initial treatment and cure on day 5 (odds ratio [OR]=9.643, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.292 — 40.564) and between cure on day 5 and 30-day mortality (OR=0.138, 95%CI: 0.023 — 0.813). ConclusionThis predictive model for efficacy helps clinicians to identify the patients who can benefit from third-generation cephalosporin treatment and improve the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporin in the initial empirical treatment of CASBP.

BACKGROUND:Currently,the verification of the precision of personalized bone models is usually performed by methods such as paired t-tests or intraclass correlation coefficient,but such methods often require the production of large batches of models,which do not satisfy the need for immediate use of personalized models. OBJECTIVE:To study the feasibility of establishing the equivalent model to verify the precision of the personalized bone model rapidly. METHODS:Bone CT images of three adults were randomly obtained for reconstruction.3D printing was used to create personalized bone models,and then the personalized bone models were scanned using CT and reconstructed.Mimics was used to compare the reconstructed models of bone CT images with the bone CT images.Geomagic Studio was used to analyze the fitting deviation between the reconstruction model of personalized bone model CT image and the reconstruction model of skeletal CT image.The 3D-printed personalized bone model was measured against the measurement positions and dimensions marked on the reconstruction model of skeletal CT image,and the error was calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)By comparing the reconstructed bone CT image model with the bone CT scan image,the two were compatible in terms of anatomical structure and morphology,and the contours almost overlapped.(2)By fitting bias analysis,the standard bias was 0.176,0.226,and 0.143 mm in order,and all the results were<0.25 mm.(3)By measuring and calculating the model,the mean relative errors were 0.44%,0.21%,and 0.13%,and all the results were within 5%error.(4)The constructed equivalent model was in line with the basic conditions for making personalized bone models.The established equivalent model met the clinical needs and design requirements,and it was feasible to use the method of the equivalent model to verify the precision of the personalized bone model quickly.(5)This method could provide a targeted and rapid way to verify the precision of personalized bone models.It could achieve the goal of providing immediate clinical use without the need to produce large batches of models compared to conventional methods such as paired t-tests or intraclass correlation coefficient.

Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor characterized by locally invasive phenotypes,leading to facial bone destruction and a high recurrence rate.However,the mechanisms governing tumor initiation and recurrence are poorly understood.Here,we uncovered cellular landscapes and mechanisms that underlie tumor recurrence in ameloblastoma at single-cell resolution.Our results revealed that ameloblastoma exhibits five tumor subpopulations varying with respect to immune response(IR),bone remodeling(BR),tooth development(TD),epithelial development(ED),and cell cycle(CC)signatures.Of note,we found that CC ameloblastoma cells were endowed with stemness and contributed to tumor recurrence,which was dominated by the EZH2-mediated program.Targeting EZH2 effectively eliminated CC ameloblastoma cells and inhibited tumor growth in ameloblastoma patient-derived organoids.These data described the tumor subpopulation and clarified the identity,function,and regulatory mechanism of CC ameloblastoma cells,providing a potential therapeutic target for ameloblastoma.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)is characterized by high recurrence or distant metastases rate and the prognosis is challenging.There is mounting evidence that tumor-infiltrating B cells(TIL-Bs)have a crucial,synergistic role in tumor control.However,little is known about the role TIL-Bs play in immune microenvironment and the way TIL-Bs affect the outcome of immune checkpoint blockade.Using single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)data from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database,the study identified distinct gene expression patterns in TIL-Bs.HNSCC samples were categorized into TIL-Bs inhibition and TIL-Bs activation groups using unsupervised clustering.This classification was further validated with TCGA HNSCC data,correlating with patient prognosis,immune cell infiltration,and response to immunotherapy.We found that the B cells activation group exhibited a better prognosis,higher immune cell infiltration,and distinct immune checkpoint levels,including elevated PD-L1.A prognostic model was also developed and validated,highlighting four genes as potential biomarkers for predicting survival outcomes in HNSCC patients.Overall,this study provides a foundational approach for B cells-based tumor classification in HNSCC,offering insights into targeted treatment and immunotherapy strategies.

Actinomycosis is a rare chronic granulomatous disease characterized by granuloma formation and tissue fibrosis with sinus tracts,often misdiagnosed due to its similarity to many infectious and non-infectious diseases.This report presents a case of a 60-year-old female with more than 10 years history of rheumatoid arthritis who developed actinomycosis infection after long-term treatment with immunosuppressants and biologics,including methotrexate,leflunomide,and infliximab,leading to recurrent joint pain,poorly controlled rheumatoid arthritis activity,and persistent elevation of white blood cell counts.Abdominal CT revealed a pelvic mass and right ureteral dilation.Pathological examination of cervical tissue showed significant neutrophil infiltration and sulfur granules,indicating actinomycosis.The patient received 18 months of doxycycline treatment for the infection and continued rheumatoid arthritis therapy with leflunomide,hydroxychloroquine sulfate,and tofacitinib,resulting in improved joint symptoms and normalized white blood cell counts.After 2 years of follow-up,the patient remained stable with no recurrence.This case highlights the importance of clinicians being vigilant for infections,particularly chronic,occult infections from rare pathogens,in rheumatoid arthritis patients on potent immunosuppressants and biologics,advocating for early screening and diagnosis.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
