The activation proteins released by fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment regulate tumor growth, migration, and treatment response, thereby influencing tumor progression and therapeutic outcomes. Owing to the proliferation and metastasis of tumors, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is typically highly expressed in the tumor stroma, whereas it is nearly absent in adult normal tissues and benign lesions, making it an attractive target for precision medicine. Radiolabeled agents targeting FAP have the potential for targeted cancer diagnosis and therapy. This comprehensive review aims to describe the evolution of FAPI-based radiopharmaceuticals and their structural optimization. Within its scope, this review summarizes the advances in the use of radiolabeled small molecule inhibitors for tumor imaging and therapy as well as the modification strategies for FAPIs, combined with insights from structure-activity relationships and clinical studies, providing a valuable perspective for radiopharmaceutical clinical development and application.

Background::The potential impact of pre-existing coronary artery stenosis (CAS) on acute pulmonary embolism (PE) episodes remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between pre-existing CAS and the elevation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) levels in patients with PE.Methods::In this multicenter, prospective case-control study, 88 cases and 163 controls matched for age, sex, and study center were enrolled. Cases were patients with PE with elevated hs-cTnI. Controls were patients with PE with normal hs-cTnI. Coronary artery assessment utilized coronary computed tomographic angiography or invasive coronary angiography. CAS was defined as ≥50% stenosis of the lumen diameter in any coronary vessel >2.0 mm in diameter. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between CAS and hs-cTnI elevation.Results::The percentage of CAS was higher in the case group compared to the control group (44.3% [39/88] vs. 30.1% [49/163]; P = 0.024). In multivariable conditional logistic regression model 1, CAS (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.680; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.243–5.779), heart rate >75 beats/min (OR, 2.306; 95% CI, 1.056–5.036) and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) >420 pg/mL (OR, 12.169; 95% CI, 4.792–30.900) were independently associated with elevated hs-cTnI. In model 2, right CAS (OR, 3.615; 95% CI, 1.467–8.909) and NT-proBNP >420 pg/mL (OR, 13.890; 95% CI, 5.288–36.484) were independently associated with elevated hs-cTnI. Conclusions::CAS was independently associated with myocardial injury in patients with PE. Vigilance towards CAS is warranted in patients with PE with elevated cardiac troponin levels.

Objective:To explore the effect of goal directed training(GDT)on motor function of children with severe ce-rebral palsy and to provide evidence for clinical application. Method:A prospective case-control study was conducted with 80 children with severe cerebral palsy,random-ly divided into the study group(n=40)and the control group(n=40).The study group received GDT,while the control group received Neurodevelopment therapy(NDT).The children of the two groups were evaluated by supine and prone position(area A)and sitting position(area B)of 88 items of the gross motor function measure(GMFM-88),visual tracking(area A)and upper limb joint activity(area B)of fine motor function measure(FMFM),level of sitting scale(LSS)and activity daily living scale(ADL)before and at 6-month,12-month after the treatment. Result:After 6 months of treatment,there was no significant difference in GMFM-88 area A and B score,LSS score,FMFM area A and B score and ADL score between the study group and the control group(P＞0.05),whereas after 12 months of treatment,the scores of the research group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).As treatment duration increased,the scores of both groups increased.Group classification,time and the interaction between time and group had significant effects on GMFM-A,GMFM-B,LSS and FMFM-B scores.Time and interaction between time and group had significant effects on FMFM-A and ADL scores. Conclusion:GDT can improve gross motor function,sitting ability,fine motor function,and the activities of daily living in children with severe cerebral palsy.

Objective:To evaluate the mechanical performance of customized metal prosthesis with tibia stems of varying lengths for tibial bone defects reconstruction.Methods:Morphologically matched postoperative finite element models of bone defect revision were developed, with three gradients (15 mm, 30 mm, and 45 mm) according to the degree of bone defect and were reconstructed with 3D printed tantalum metal prosthesis using three tibial stem lengths (80 mm, 120 mm, and 150 mm), respectively. Conventional static and dynamic (walking gait) loading was performed to analyze the peak tibial stress distribution and accumulated sliding distance at the prosthetic interface, and to assess the effects of the three tibial stems of different lengths on the stability of the customized tibial defect restorations and the internal tibial stress state.Results:The peak accumulated sliding distance of the dynamically loaded morphologically matched restorations ranged from 17.94 to 21.31 mm with static loading, which were 68% to 84.3% higher than those of 10.26 to 11.69 mm with static loading. The peak tibial stresses in the dynamically loaded model were greater than those in the statically loaded model, with an increase of 28%-49.2%, including 132.94-143.88 MPa in the statically loaded model and 170.41-200.14 MPa in the dynamically loaded model. The overall accumulated sliding distance of the tibia prosthetic model gradually decreased from the tibial osteotomy surface, and the accumulated peak sliding distances ranged from 10.26 to 11.69 mm for static loading, and from 17.94 to 21.31 mm for dynamic loading. The bone tissue stresses in the anterolateral and medial-posterior tibia increased gradually from top to bottom, and the maximum stress value in each section was in the posterior medial tibia (the maximum value was 200.14 MPa). The highest bone tissue stress in the lateral tibia was affected by the tibial stem length, which resulted in a different location, and it was the area most affected by stress shielding (maximum value of 170.65 MPa).Conclusion:For stability assessment of morphologically matched tantalum customized prosthesis, physiological gait dynamic loading studies are more reliable than static loading; the choice of tibial stem length depends on a combination of accumulated peak sliding distances and tibial bone stress distribution factors.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and short-term prognosis of the treatment of complex preauricular fistulas by double-incision tunneling combined with total resection of preauricular tissue and cartilage.Methods The data on 134 children with complicated preauricular fistula admitted to the hospital from January 2018 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the treatment method,they were divided into a study group(68 undergoing double-incision tunnel combined with preauricular tissue and cartilage resection)and a control group(66 receiving preauricular tissue and cartilage resection).Both groups were followed up for one year.The conditions of surgery,pain,postoperative incision healing,aesthetics of incision healing,complications and short-term prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the amount of blood loss between the two groups(P>0.05).The surgical duration was longer in the study group than in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in Pain Behavior Scale(FLACC)scores between the two groups at hours 4 and 24 after surgery(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in wound healing between the two groups(P>0.05).The SBSES score of the study group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the total complication rate between the two groups(P>0.05).No recurrence occurred in both groups during postoperative follow-up.Conclusion Double-incision tunnel combined with resection of preauricular tissue and cartilage for preauricular fistula can completely remove fistula tissue.Incision healing is satisfactory,safe and reliable.As compared with the total excision of preauricular tissue and cartilage,double-incision tunnel com-bined with total excision of preauricular tissue and cartilage has more advantages in aesthetics of incision healing.

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors can increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to Poly ADP-ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors. Therefore, the simultaneous inhibition of the PARP-1 and PI3K activities are expected to overcome the drug resistance of PARP-1 inhibitors.In our previous work, two compounds XW-1 and WZ-1 with excellent activities against PARP-1 and PI3K were obtained with the limitation to further study due to their poor water solubility.Therefore, XW-1 and WZ-1 were chosen as lead compounds to optimize their solubility by introducing a salt-forming site via a urea group, and 11 novel compounds were designed and synthesized. The structure of all target compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS.The enzyme activities of the compounds against PARP-1 and PI3K were measured, and the results showed that most of the compounds demonstrated good inhibitory activities against PARP-1 and PI3K.Based on the above result, the inhibitory activities of compounds 8b, 8e, and 8f against MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, HCC1937, HCT116, and olaparib-resistant HCT116R were determined by MTT, respectively.Additionally, the structure-activity relationship was discussed. The results showed that these compounds displayed excellent antiproliferation activity.Among them, compound 8f demonstrated antiproliferation remarkably against all five tumor cells, which was more potent than that of olaparib, and was comparable to that of BKM120.Furthermore, the solubility of hydrochloride salts of compound 8b and 8f was significantly improved compared to the lead compounds.The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the further development of PARP-1 and PI3K dual-target inhibitors with good pharmaceutical properties and strong inhibitory activities.

ObjectiveTo study the changes of mitochondrial function of ovarian granulosa cells in women of different ages and the effect of Erzhi-Tiangui prescription on in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer （IVF-ET） outcomes for elderly women， so as to verify the connotation of the "Seven-Seven" theory in the Huangdi's Internal Classic （《黄帝内经》）. MethodA total of 150 infertility patients undergoing IVF-ET at the Reproductive and Genetic Center of Integrative Medicine， Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were recruited and assigned into "hree-Seven/Four-Seven （30 cases）， Five-Seven （60 cases）， and Six-Seven （60 cases） groups according to the "Seven-Seven" theory. The Five-Seven and Six-Seven groups were further assigned into control and Chinese medicine subgroups using the random number plus envelope method， and the Chinese medicine group was administrated with Erzhi Tiangui prescription from the start day of controlled ovulation stimulation cycle to the trigger day. The IVF outcome was observed， and Western blot was employed to determine the levels of mitofusin 1 （MFN1）， mitofusin 2 （MFN2）， and dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1） in the ovarian granulosa cells. ResultCompared with the Three-Seven/Four-Seven group， the control subgroups of the Five-Seven and Six-Seven groups showed decreased retrieved oocytes， two pronuclear （2PN） embryos， available embryos， high-quality embryos， clinical pregnancy rate， and live birth rate （P<0.05）. Moreover， the control subgroup of the Six-Seven group showed decreased fresh embryo transfer rate（P<0.05）. Compared with the control subgroup of the Five-Seven group， that of the Six-Seven group showed reduced retrieved oocytes， 2PN embryos， available embryos， high-quality embryos， and clinical pregnancy rate （P<0.05）. The Chinese medicine subgroup had more retrieved oocytes， 2PN oocytes， and available embryos than the control subgroup in the Five-Seven groups （P<0.05）. The Chinese medicine subgroup had more retrieved oocytes， than the control subgroup in the Six-Seven groups （P<0.05）. The control subgroup of the Six-Seven group showed lower expression levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 and higher level of Drp1 than the control subgroup of the Five-Seven group （P<0.05）， which indicated that the levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 in ovarian granulosa cells were down-regulated while the expression of Drp1 was up-regulated with aging （P<0.05）. The Chinese medicine subgroup had higher Mfn2 level and lower Drp1 level than the control subgroup in the Five-Seven group （P<0.05）， and the Chinese medicine subgroup had higher Mfn1 and Mfn2 levels and lower Drp1 level than then control subgroup in the Six-Seven group （P<0.05）. ConclusionsThe prognosis of IVF in women after "Five-Seven" became worse with aging， and the mitochondria in ovarian granulosa cells showed decreased fusion ability and increased fission， which verified the connotation of the "Seven-Seven" theory from the mitochondrial function. Erzhi Tiangui prescription can regulate the mitochondrial function of ovarian granulosa cells in elderly women， up-regulate the expression levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 to promote mitochondrial fusion， and down-regulate the expression of Drp1 to reduce mitochondrial fission， thus alleviating the ovarian hypofunction caused by aging， improve the development potential of oocytes， and improve the IVF outcomes of elderly women. However， this prescription has limited efficacy for the elderly women in the age range of "Six-Seven".

Objective:To compare the diagnostic efficiency of colloidal gold dipstick method (PTH dipstick method) with that of doctors’ experience method based on nano-carbon method for rapid identification of parathyroid gland in thyroidectomy of thyroid cancer.Methods:From March to July 2020, 90 patients underwent thyroid surgery in the Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University participated in the experimental study, and 155 samples underwent empirical judgment, parathyroid dipstick and pathological examination. All operations were performed by senior specialists. SPSS statistics 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Seventy-four cases of parathyroid gland confirmed by both pathology and empirical judgment, and 81 cases of non-parathyroid gland confirmed by pathology; 130 cases of parathyroid glands confirmed by both PTH dipstick method and pathology, and 22 cases of non-parathyroid glands confirmed by pathology. The accuracy rate of PTH dipstick method was 85.53% which was much higher than that of empirical judgment method (47.74%). The data were statistically significant ( χ2=49.14, P<0.05). The sensitivity of PTH method was 95.89%, the specificity of PTH method was 75.94%, and the Youden index was 0.7183. The sensitivity of empirical judgment method was 81.3%, the specificity of empirical judgment method was 47.74%, and the Youden index was 0.2904. Conclusions:The diagnostic efficiency of the PTH method is higher than that of empirical judgment method to identify parathyroid gland in thyroid surgery. The two methods can be used together to increase the protection of parathyroid gland during operation.

Objective:To study the method of intravascular angiography in vivo, analyze the clinical significance, and supply the basis of diagnosis and treatment of related orthopaedic diseases.Methods:The development was realized by improving the developer to increase the local concentration. Based on the study of Lijianmin-Chengkun Complexes and using the theory of magnetic microspheres, Fe 3O 4 magnetic microspheres with amino (negatively charged) shell are used to adsorb the aggregated ionic developer meglumine diatrizoate (positively charged diatrizoate). That is, by improving the method of developer, the magnetic microspheres can carry the developer to make new nanoparticles magnetic imaging composite particles. Under the action of external magnetic field, the magnetic imaging composite particles brought by blood circulation continue to stay and gather in the blood vessels in the magnetic field area, and the developer carried by the magnetic microspheres in the blood vessels in the magnetic field area is concentrated to reach the imaging concentration, so as to realize in vivo intravascular vascular imaging. By adjusting the ratio of the two reagents, the charge can be neutralized and condensed into small groups to improve the development efficiency. Thus, the electron microscope experiment, CT in vivo experiment, rabbit imaging experiment, experimental rabbit tissue picture confirmation, CT in vivo human body (the author is a volunteer) imaging experiment were carried out step by step. Results:Electron microscope experiment: meglumine diatrizoate, scanning electron microscope, the particle diameter is about 20 nm. Scanning electron microscope showed that the diameter of the magnetic microspheres was about 100 nm and the distribution was uniform. After the two reagents are mixed in a certain proportion, the neutralizing charge condenses into small groups, but it still has magnetohydrodynamic properties and strong paramagnetism. In vivo rabbit imaging experiment: the ideal intraosseous vascular imaging of the proximal tibia was captured. The tissue pictures of experimental rabbits confirmed that the distribution of Fe 3O 4 was obviously visible in the blood vessels in the proximal tibia on the side with magnetic field, but not on the side without magnetic field. In vivo human imaging experiment: the ideal intraosseous vascular imaging of the proximal fibula was captured. Conclusion:Through the preparation of new reagent of magnetic imaging composite particles (magnetic microspheres + meglumine diatrizoate), the concentration of in vivo bone developer can be achieved under the action of external magnetic field, and the in vivo external diameter ≥ 0.5mm can be achieved under CT thin-layer scanning.
