Metastasis is the leading cause of death from cutaneous melanoma. Identifying metastasis-related targets and developing corresponding therapeutic strategies are major areas of focus. While functional genomics strategies provide powerful tools for target discovery, investigations at the protein level can directly decode the bioactive epitopes on functional proteins. Aptamers present a promising avenue as they can explore membrane proteomes and have the potential to interfere with cell function. Herein, we developed a target and epitope discovery platform, termed functional aptamer evolution-enabled target identification (FAETI), by integrating affinity aptamer acquisition with phenotype screening and target protein identification. Utilizing the aptamer XH3C, which was screened for its migration-inhibitory function, we identified the Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4), as a potential target involved in melanoma migration. Further evidence demonstrated that XH3C induces cytoskeletal rearrangement by blocking the interaction between the bioactive epitope of CSPG4 and integrin α4. Taken together, our study demonstrates the robustness of aptamer-based molecular tools for target and epitope discovery. Additionally, XH3C is an affinity and functional molecule that selectively binds to a unique epitope on CSPG4, enabling the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.

Objective:To analyze the association between the triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and the risk of nephrolithiasis across various demographic and clinical subgroups,aiming to enhance early di-agnosis and treatment of nephrolithiasis and promote personalized care in diverse populations.Methods:This cross-sectional study analyzed the medical records of 84 968 adults,stratified into three categories(low,middle,high)according to their TyG index scores.To evaluate the association between the TyG index and nephrolithiasis risk,multivariable Logistic regression models were employed,adjusting for po-tential confounders.Additionally,piecewise linear regression models were used to investigate the non-linear dynamics of the TyG index's relationship with nephrolithiasis risk.Subgroup analyses were per-formed to explore variations in the effects of the TyG index across different demographic and clinical populations.Results:Increasing TyG index was associated with a higher risk of nephrolithiasis,rising from 4.36％in the low group to 8.96％in the high group(P＜0.001).In adjusted models,males in the middle and high TyG index categories demonstrated significantly elevated risks of nephrolithiasis,with odds ratios of 1.18(95％CI:1.07-1.31,P=0.002)and 1.29(95％CI:1.15-1.45,P＜0.001),respectively.Conversely,in females,the association was not statistically significant post-adjustment(OR=0.98,95％CI:0.82-1.16,P=0.778).Among males,for each unit increment in the TyG index be-low the critical threshold of 8.98,there was a notable 40％escalation in the risk of developing nephroli-thiasis(OR=1.40,95％CI:1.24-1.58,P＜0.001).Surpassing this threshold,the TyG index no longer conferred a significant increase in risk(OR=0.91,95％CI:0.78-1.06,P=0.24).Subgroup analyses indicated that this association remained stable regardless of age,BMI,or hypertension status.Conclusion:The TyG index is positively associated with the risk of nephrolithiasis in males,demonstra-ting a nonlinear dose-response relationship that becomes especially pronounced at certain index levels.This biomarker could potentially serve as a valuable clinical tool for identifying males who are at a high risk of developing nephrolithiasis,thereby enabling targeted preventive strategies.Further research is urgently needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and to verify the applicability of these results across different populations.

The teaching of radiology in standardized residency training needs a large number of case data to strengthen the subjective understanding and awareness of residents. The database built by residency training bases can meet the needs of teaching to a certain extent, but the conditions of training bases vary across regions, which makes it difficult to achieve homogeneity in the teaching of radiology. This article discusses the application of Eurorad database in the teaching of radiology in standardized residency training. This database is free of charge, reliable, and comprehensive and provides a large number of free reliable cases and images for teaching, covering both common and rare diseases. Moreover, it can also be used to cultivate the English ability and comprehensive quality of residents and help to establish a hierarchical training system for radiology and non-radiology residents, thereby promoting the improvement in the quality of standardized residency training. This article shows the potential value of Eurorad database in the teaching of radiology in standardized residency training, and comparative studies are needed in the future to further prove its effectiveness.

Objective:To determine the relationship between tibial plateau stresses and malunion by exploring the changes in mechanical conduction in the knee joint after malunion of Hoffa fracture of the tibial plateau.Methods:This study selected 28 knee joint specimens treated with formalin for preservation, half of which were from male and half from female individuals with an age of (51.4±9.5) years. Their structures were intact, and flexion-extension activities normal. X-ray examinations excluded osteoporosis, tuberculosis, and diseases that could have potentially affected bone quality. The knee specimens were divided into a control group (intact tibia) ( n=4) and 6 groups of tibial plateau Hoffa fracture malunion model: 3 vertical malunion groups (groups V1, V2, and V3, with a vertical displacement of 1, 2, and 3 mm, respectively, n=4) and 3 separation malunion groups (groups S3, S5, and S7, with a separation displacement of 3, 5, and 7 mm, respectively), with half males and half females in each group. After a 600N vertical load was applied at passive knee flexions at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, and 120°, the stress levels in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee joint were measured using pressure-sensitive films. Results:Under a vertical load of 600 N, when the knee joint was in a neutral position (flexion of 0°), the differences in the medial and lateral tibial plateau stress values were not statistically significant between the malunion models groups and the control group ( P>0.05). When the knee flexion increased to 30°, the medial tibial plateau stress in the V3 and S7 groups was significantly greater than that in the control group ( P<0.05). At a knee flexion of 60°, the medial plateau stress was significantly greater in the V3, S5 and S7 groups than that in the control group, and the differences were significantly greater than the comparisons at a knee flexion of 30° (all P<0.05). When the knee flexion was 90°, the medial plateau stress in the V2, V3, S5 and S7 groups was significantly greater than that in the control group ( P<0.05), but the lateral tibial plateau stress in the V3 group was significantly smaller than that in the control group ( P<0.05). When the knee flexion was further increased to 120°, the differences in the medial and lateral plateau stress values were statistically significant between all the malunion groups and the control group ( P<0.05), and the differences significantly greater than the comparisons at a knee flexion of 90° (all P<0.05). Under a vertical load of 600 N, the differences in the stresses on the medial and lateral plateaus were not statistically significant between the control group and all the malunion groups at a knee flexion of 0° ( P>0.05). When the knee flexion increased to 30°, the difference between the medial and lateral stresses was not statistically significant in the control group ( P>0.05), but was statistically significant in the V3 and S7 groups ( P<0.05). When the knee flexion reached 60°, 90°, and 120°, the differences between the medial and lateral tibial plateau stresses in all the groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The peak knee stresses after malunion of Hoffa fracture of the tibial plateau correlate with the severity of malunion and knee flexion angles. The mechanical properties are not significantly different between a mild malunion knee and a normal knee, but a significant displacement (vertical displacement >2 mm and separation displacement ≥5 mm) may increase the peak knee stresses to increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis. When the severity of malunion is certain, an increase in knee flexion angle increases the difference in the peak stress between the medial and lateral tibial plateaus, thus increasing the risk of knee osteoarthritis.
