Objective:To explore the developmental characteristics of event-related potential(ERP) in cognitive function of recognition memory in children aged 6-12.Methods:A total of 130 normal children were divided into seven age groups (6 ( n=20), 7 ( n=17), 8 ( n=23), 9 ( n=24), 10 ( n=19), 11 ( n=15), and 12 years old ( n=12)) to perform a picture study-recognition task and record the reaction time, accuracy, and ERP components of all participants. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. Single factor analysis of variance and trend of variance were used to compare the response time and accuracy of 7 groups of children during the recognition stage. Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between the amplitude of the central midline N2 component and age. Paired t-test was used to examine the old/new effects of the amplitude of midfrontal N2 and midparietal P3 waves. Results:(1) The differences of recognition ability ( F(6, 123)=2.476, P<0.05), old picture reaction time ( F(6, 123)=6.461, P<0.001), and new picture reaction time ( F(6, 123)=4.163, P<0.001) among 7 age groups of children were statistically significant. Recognition ability of children aged 6 (0.61±0.24) was lower than those of 8-12 years old children((0.76±0.27), (0.76±0.10), (0.73±0.11), (0.75±0.10), (0.70±0.17) respectively)(all P<0.05). The reaction time of the old picture showed no difference among the children aged 6-9 (all P>0.05), and the reaction time of old picture of children aged 12 was shorter than those of 6-10 years old children (all P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the reaction time of new pictures among the children aged 6-10 (all P>0.05), and which in children aged 12 was shorter than those in 6-10 years old children(all P<0.01). (2) Age was positively correlated with the amplitude of the N2 component in the central region under the new ( r=0.488, P<0.001) and old picture( r=0.452, P<0.001) conditions. (3)At 6 years old, children showed old/new effects on the mid-frontal electrodes. At 7 years old, there were no old/new effects in either the mid-frontal or mid-parietal regions. From 8 to 9 years old, old/new effects appeared in the mid-parietal lobe. At 10 years old, old/new effects were present in both the mid-frontal and mid-parietal regions. At 11 years old, the mid-parietal lobe showed old/new effects. Finally, at 12 years old, negative old/new effects could be observed in both the mid-frontal and mid-parietal regions. Conclusion:There are three periods of changes in the behavior of picture recognition memory in school-age children. At ages 6-7, the accuracy rate is relatively low; at ages 8-9, it improves; and between ages 10-12, the accuracy rate stabilizes while also enabling faster judgments.Children's recognition memory retrieval process is more complex than their behavioral performance. Children have different tendencies toward strategies, but strategic transitions in recognition processing are not always beneficial for performance.

Projection micro stereolithography three-dimensional(3D)printing method was proposed in this study to fabricate complex microchannels of combined cross-sections.By using 3D printing and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)replication methods,two inertial microfluidic chips of three-step and five-step cross-sections were fabricated,and the dimension precisions of the microchannels were controlled within 20 μm.Using the microfluidic chips,the movements of two fluorescent polystyrene particles with diameters of 10 and 6 μm in the stepped channels were investigated.In addition,numerical simulations were applied to demonstrate the inertial focusing mechanisms of particles in the channels.It was found that 10-μm particles had three equilibrium positions in the three-step channel,which located at the inner walls of the three steps,respectively,and most particles focused at the inner step.The 6-μm particles also had three equilibrium positions in the three-step channel.However,the particles migrated to the middle and the outer steps under high flow rates.In the five-step channel,when the flow rate was increased gradually,10-μm particles had a single and two equilibrium positions,respectively,and the particles migrated towards the inner channel wall under high flow rates.In comparison to 10-μm particles,6-μm particles had two stable equilibrium positions in the five-step channel at all flow rate range.It could be concluded that the quantity,shape and strength of the secondary flow vortex could be altered by changing structure of the combined cross-section,thus the equilibrium positions and quantities of the focusing particles could be also regulated.The research outcome might provide new insights for precise cell inertial manipulation and promote the application and development of inertial microfluidic technology in biomedical and other fields.

PURPOSE@#The incidence of heatstroke (HS) is not particularly high; however, once it occurs, the consequences are serious. It is reported that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is protective against brain injury in HS rats, but detailed molecular mechanisms need to be further investigated. In this study, we further explored whether CGRP inhibited neuronal apoptosis in HS rats via protein kinase A (PKA)/p-cAMP response element-binding protein (p-CREB) pathway.@*METHODS@#We established a HS rat model in a pre-warmed artificial climate chamber with a temperature of (35.5 ± 0.5) °C and a relative humidity of 60% ± 5%. Heatstress was stopped once core body temperature reaches above 41 °C. A total of 25 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups with 5 animals each: control group, HS group, HS+CGRP group, HS+CGRP antagonist (CGRP8-37) group, and HS+CGRP+PKA/p-CREB pathway blocker (H89) group. A bolus injection of CGRP was administered to each rat in HS+CGRP group, CGRP8-37 (antagonist of CGRP) in HS+CGRP8-37 group, and CGRP with H89 in HS+CGRP+H89 group. Electroencephalograms were recorded and the serum concentration of S100B, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neuron apoptosis, activated caspase-3 and CGRP expression, as well as pathological morphology of brain tissue were detected at 2 h, 6 h, and 24 h after HS in vivo. The expression of PKA, p-CREB, and Bcl-2 in rat neurons were also detected at 2 h after HS in vitro. Exogenous CGRP, CGRP8-37, or H89 were used to determine whether CGRP plays a protective role in brain injury via PKA/p-CREB pathway. The unpaired t-test was used between the 2 samples, and the mean ± SD was used for multiple samples. Double-tailed p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.@*RESULTS@#Electroencephalogram showed significant alteration of θ (54.50 ± 11.51 vs. 31.30 ± 8.71, F = 6.790, p = 0.005) and α wave (16.60 ± 3.21 vs. 35.40 ± 11.28, F = 4.549, p = 0.020) in HS group compared to the control group 2 h after HS. The results of triphosphate gap terminal labeling (TUNEL) showed that the neuronal apoptosis of HS rats was increased in the cortex (9.67 ± 3.16 vs. 1.80 ± 1.10, F = 11.002, p = 0.001) and hippocampus (15.73 ± 8.92 vs. 2.00 ± 1.00, F = 4.089, p = 0.028), the expression of activated caspase-3 was increased in the cortex (61.76 ± 25.13 vs. 19.57 ± 17.88, F = 5.695, p = 0.009) and hippocampus (58.60 ± 23.30 vs. 17.80 ± 17.62, F = 4.628, p = 0.019); meanwhile the expression of serum NSE (5.77 ± 1.78 vs. 2.35 ± 0.56, F = 5.174, p = 0.013) and S100B (2.86 ± 0.69 vs. 1.35 ± 0.34, F = 10.982, p = 0.001) were increased significantly under HS. Exogenous CGRP decreased the concentrations of NSE and S100B, and activated the expression of caspase-3 (0.41 ± 0.09 vs. 0.23 ± 0.04, F = 32.387, p < 0.001) under HS; while CGRP8-37 increased NSE (3.99 ± 0.47 vs. 2.40 ± 0.50, F = 11.991, p = 0.000) and S100B (2.19 ± 0.43 vs. 1.42 ± 0.30, F = 4.078, p = 0.025), and activated the expression caspase-3 (0.79 ± 0.10 vs. 0.23 ± 0.04, F = 32.387, p < 0.001). For the cell experiment, CGRP increased Bcl-2 (2.01 ± 0.73 vs. 2.15 ± 0.74, F = 8.993, p < 0.001), PKA (0.88 ± 0.08 vs. 0.37 ± 0.14, F = 20.370, p < 0.001), and p-CREB (0.87 ± 0.13 vs. 0.29 ± 0.10, F = 16.759, p < 0.001) levels; while H89, a blocker of the PKA/p-CREB pathway reversed the expression.@*CONCLUSIONS@#CGRP can protect against HS-induced neuron apoptosis via PKA/p-CREB pathway and reduce activation of caspase-3 by regulating Bcl-2. Thus CGRP may be a new target for the treatment of brain injury in HS.

In clinical practice,cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT)delivered by biventricular pacing(BiVP)has been recommended to be applied in patients with heart failure and wide QRS to achieve biventricular electromechanical synchrony.Multiple previous clinical studies have demonstrated that BiVP can effectively improve cardiac function,reverse left ventricular remodeling,and reduce risk of all-cause mortality and heart failure rehospitalization.However,BiVP still faces technical challenges,such as coronary sinus intubation failure,no ideal target vein,phrenic nerve stimulation,unacceptable pacing threshold of left ventricular electrode,and risk of lead dislodgement.In addition,prior studies have found that about 30%-40%of patients with BiVP have no significant improvement in cardiac function,namely,CRT non-response.Conduction system pacing(CSP)includes His bundle pacing(HBP)and left bundle branch area pacing(LBBAP).HBP is the most physiological pacing technique at present.Due to the anatomical location and the limitations of pacing electrodes and delivery tools,the clinical application of HBP is difficult to be popularized.LBBAP is a novel physiological pacing modality and can overcome the limitations of HBP and achieve similar physiological effects to HBP.LBBAP can be further divided into left bundle branch pacing(LBBP)and left ventricular septal pacing(LVSP),based on the presence of left bundle branch capture.These two pacing modalities can correct left bundle branch block(LBBB)and narrow QRS duration.LBBAP has stable pacing parameters and low risk of significantly increased thresholds or loss of capture,showing great potential of clinical application.However,large-scale randomized controlled studies are necessitated to provide more robust evidence to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of LBBAP applied in patients with heart failure.BiVP,HBP and LBBAP have their own advantages and disadvantages in clinical practice,which are complementary to each other.Pacing strategies should be individually selected for heart failure patients with varied clinical characteristics to improve the response rate and clinical prognosis of heart failure patients receiving CRT.

Objective:To assess the role of Delta-RBC parameters in the automated hematocrit analyzer RET channel for the recognition of cold agglutinins (CA) and to explore the value of RET channel optical method parameters in correcting interference with CA.Methods:This is a retrospective study. The Cas group included 68 samples with Cas interference and the control group included 45 samples without CA interference. All specimens were collected from Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University Outpatient Department from January 2022 to January 2023. Specimens in both the CA and Control group were examined using the CBC+RET channel at room temperature. Recorded and calculated the Impedance method test parameters RBC-I, HGB, HCT-I, MCH-I, MCV-I, MCHC-I and the Optical method test parameters RBC-O, HCT-O, MCH-O, R-MFV, MCHC-O, Delta-RBC. Examined the specimens in the CA group using the CBC channel after prewarmed at 37 ℃ for 2 h, and Impedance method parameters RBC-I 37 ℃ 2 h, HGB 37 ℃ 2 h, HCT-I 37 ℃ 2 h, MCH-I 37 ℃ 2 h, MCV-I 37 ℃ 2 h, MCHC-I 37 ℃ 2 h were recorded. The ROC curves were used to analyze the discrimination efficacy of Delta-RBC in identifying CA interference, and the Bland-Altman method was used to analyze the consistency between the results of the optical method RBC parameters at room temperature and the results of the impedance method after prewarming. The correlation analysis was performed using Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis to analyze the results of the RBC parameters before and after prewarming in the CA group. Result:If Delta-RBC was used as diagnostic indicators for the identification of CA interference, the best cut-off value was 1.065, with AUCs of 0.998. In the CA group, the correlation coefficients between RBC-O, HCT-O, R-MFV, MCH-O, MCHC-O, and RBC-I 37 ℃ 2 h, HCT-I 37 ℃ 2 h, MCV-I 37 ℃ 2 h, MCH-I 37 ℃ 2 h, MCHC-I 37 ℃ 2 h were 0.985, 0.981, 0.729, 0.870, and 0.649, respectively. The percentages within the limits of agreement of the percentage differences between the results of the two methods were 95.6%, 92.6%, 95.6%, 94.1%, and 95.6%, respectively. Conclusions:The RBC parameter Delta-RBC from RET channel optical method can be used as an indicator to effectively assist in the clinical determination of the presence of CA. Reporting results using the optical method RBC parameters of the RET channel can correct the interference of CA without specimen pre-treatment and obtain more correct results of complete blood counts.

Objective:To explore the psychological status of female patients with mandibular angle hypertrophy before and after receiving mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO) using psychological measurement methods.Methods:The study included 36 female patients (age ranged 18-35 years, with mean age of 23 years) who underwent bilateral mandibular angle osteotomy at the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, Naval Medical University. Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess the patients′ psychological status before and after surgery. SPSS 18.0 was used to compare the preoperative and postoperative data with the national norms.Results:According to the SCL-90 questionnaire, the scores of the six factors, including obsessive-compulsive symptoms (2.24±0.43 vs. 1.62±0.58, P<0.01), interpersonal sensitivity (1.85±0.46 vs. 1.65±0.61, P=0.02), depression (1.91±0.43 vs. 1.50±0.59, P<0.01), anxiety (1.75±0.42 vs. 1.39±0.43, P<0.01), hostility (1.86±0.45 vs. 1.46±0.55, P<0.01), and paranoia (2.18±0.46 vs. 1.43±0.57, P<0.01) of patients before surgery were significantly higher than the national norms. One month after surgery, there was a significant improvement in SAS and SDS scores compared to preoperative scores ( t=8.0, 10.4, P<0.01). The SAS score decreased from 43.0±9.8 to 37.5±6.8, and the SDS score decreased from 47.1±10.6 to 39.4±7.5. There was no statistically significant difference in the depression and anxiety indices of SCL-90 compared to the national norms ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Mandibular angle osteotomy significantly improves the psychological health of female patients with mandibular angle hypertrophy and can alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Objective:To study the relationship between the level of serum homocysteine (Hcy) and the antisense non coding gene (ANRIL) of long chain non coding RNA (lncRNA) cell cycle dependent kinase inhibitor 2B gene, and the effect on Atherosclerosis inflammation, that is, the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).Methods:HUVEC was cultured in vitro and cells were treated with different concentration gradients (blank control group, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 mmol/L) of Hcy. The expression level of lncRNA ANRIL was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of MCP-1 and IL-10. LipoFilter transfection reagents were used to transfect shANRIL and shNC into different cells, respectively. In the above experiment, the optimal Hcy concentration (5.0 mmol/L) was selected for intervention for 24 hours. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of MCP-1 and IL-10.Results:After 24 hours of intervention with different concentrations of Hcy in HUVEC, Hcy significantly damaged endothelial cells, and the higher the Hcy concentration, the more severe the cell damage. Compared with the blank control group, the Hcy intervention group showed an increase in lncRNA ANRIL and MCP-1, while IL-10 decreased (all P<0.05); As the concentration of Hcy intervention increases, IL-10 decreases, while lncRNA ANRIL and MCP-1 increased (all P<0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the Hcy group, the shNC+ Hcy group, and the shANRIL+ Hcy group had lower levels of IL-10 protein expression and higher levels of MCP-1 protein expression (all P<0.05). Compared with the shANRIL+ Hcy group, the Hcy group and the shNC+ Hcy group had lower levels of IL-10 protein expression and higher levels of MCP-1 protein expression (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of IL-10 protein and MCP-1 protein between the shNC+ Hcy group and the Hcy group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Hcy upregulates MCP-1 expression and downregulates IL-10 expression by promoting lncRNA ANRIL expression. Thus, it can promote cellular inflammatory reaction and participate in Atherosclerosis.

Objective:To explore the different patterns of brain structural abnormalities in patients with delayed neuromyelitis optica pedigree disease (LO-NMOSD) and its relationship with clinical neuropsychological scale score based on the quantitative analysis of three-dimensional (3D) brain structure MRI.Methods:Patients with neuromyelitis optica pedigree disease in remission (NMOSD group) who received treatment at Jilin University First Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were prospectively included and divided into LO-NMOSD subgroup and early-onset NMOSD (EO-NMOSD) subgroup according to whether the age of first onset was>50 years. Another age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers with NMOSD patients were recruited as the control group. 3D brain T 1WI and T 2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence imaging were acquired, and clinical data, neuropsychological scores of all subjects were analyzed. Total gray matter volume (GMV), cerebral gray matter fraction (GMF), cerebral white matter fraction (WMF), and cerebral white matter high signal fraction (WMHF) were obtained by quantitative analysis of MRI data using voxel-based morphology and lesion segmentation tool techniques. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the differences in brain structure between LO-NMOSD subgroup and EO-NMOSD subgroup, NMOSD group and control group. Partial correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between GMF, WMHF and patient clinical data, neuropsychological scale scores, and the correlation between WMHF and GMF, WMF. Results:There were 47 cases in the NMOSD group, including 7 males and 40 females aged 18-66 years. Among them, there were 20 cases in the LO-NMOSD subgroup and 27 cases in the EO-NMODS subgroup. The control group consisted of 50 individuals (13 males and 37 females, aged 18 to 77 years). Compared with the control group, the GMV of the right caudate nucleus in the LO-NMOSD group was reduced ( t=3.33, P<0.05), and the GMV of multiple brain regions in the bilateral frontal and temporal lobes in the EO-NMOSD group was reduced considerably (FDR corrected, P<0.05), which was consistent with the NMOSD group. After adjusting for age, there was no statistically significant difference in WMHF between the LO-NMOSD and EO-NMOSD groups ( F=0.22, P=0.644). The LO-NMOSD subgroup showed a negative correlation between global GMF and the extended disability status scale (EDSS) score ( r=-0.53, P=0.025). WMHF in the NMOSD group was positively correlated with annual recurrence rate and EDSS ( r=0.35 and 0.35, respectively, and P=0.017 and 0.018, respectively), while other indicators were not correlated ( P>0.05). The EO-NMOSD subgroup WMHF showed a negative correlation with GMF and WMF ( r=-0.76, -0.70, respectively, P<0.001). The NMOSD group showed a negative correlation between WMHF and GMF, WMF ( r=-0.38, -0.55, respectively, P<0.05). There was no correlation between WMHF and GMF, WMF in the LO-NMOSD subgroup ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The extent and location of gray matter atrophy in patients with LO-NMOSD are different from those of EO-NMOSD. The correlation between WMHF and brain structural changes and clinical data is different between the two groups of patients. These suggest that LO-NMOSD patients may have different patterns of brain structural damage.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic radical anterograde modular pancreatosplenectomy (Lap-RAMPS).Methods:From Jan 2014 to Dec 2020, the clinical data of 83 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection for pancreatic tail cancer in LiHuili Hospital of Ningbo Medical Center were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Eighty-three cases were divided into Lap-RAMPS group (44 cases) and laparoscopic conventional distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy(Lap-CDP) group (39 cases). There were no significant differences in the duration of surgery [(245.34±70.30) min vs. (239.87±68.10) min], intraoperative blood lose [(159.32±115.60) ml vs. (208.97±161.70) ml] and intraoperative transfusions (2 cases vs. 3 cases) between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical significance in both groups in postoperative pancreatic fistula, postoperative bleeding grade, postoperative gastric emptying delay, Clavien-Dindo complication and postoperative hospital stay ( P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the negative margin rate (93.2% vs. 76.9%),lymph node harvest(12.91±8.24 vs. 8.49±6.85) and median survival time (25.0 months vs. 15.0 months) between the two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Lap-RAMPS for pancreatic tail cancer is safe and feasible, increasing the negative rate of pancreatic margins, improving the lymph node harvest, and prolonging patients' survival time.

ObjectiveTo establish and evaluate a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) model with lung-spleen qi deficiency. MethodA rat model mimicking COPD with lung-spleen qi deficiency was established by the combination of cigarette smoking and intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) along with gavage of Sennae Folium infusion. Forty male SPF-grade SD rats were randomly assigned to blank, model, and low- (L-FXY), medium- (M-FXY), and high-dose (H-FXY) Sennae Folium infusion groups. Other groups except the blank group were exposed to daily cigarette smoke, with LPS administrated via intratracheal instillation on the 1st and 14th days. On the 28th day of modeling, the L-FXY, M-FXY, and H-FXY groups were administrated with Sennae Folium infusion at 5, 10, and 20 g·kg-1, respectively, and at 4 ℃ for three weeks. The modeling lasted for 49 days. The general conditions (body mass, food intake, fecal water content, and anal temperature) and behaviors (grip strength test and tail suspension test) of rats in different groups were examined. The lung function, lung histopathology, D-xylose, amylase, and gastrin levels in the serum, interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-6 levels in the alveolar lavage fluid, levels of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+) in the peripheral blood, and thymus and spleen indices were measured. ResultTwo rats died in the H-FXY group. Compared with the blank group, both the M-FXY and H-FXY groups exhibited reduced body mass and food intake (P<0.01) and increased fecal water content (P<0.01). The anal temperature in the H-FXY group was lower than that in the blank group (P<0.01). The grip strength decreased in the modeling groups compared with the blank group (P<0.01), and the duration of immobility in the tail suspension test increased in the M-FXY and H-FXY groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the modeling groups showed reduced 0.3 second forced expiratory volume (FEV0.3), FEV0.3/forced vital capacity (FVC)(P<0.01), thickening of bronchial walls, proliferation of goblet cells, and the presence of emphysematous changes. In terms of gastrointestinal function, the M-FXY and H-FXY groups had lower levels of D-xylose, gastrin, and α-amylase than the blank group (P<0.01). Regarding the immune and inflammatory indices, the M-FXY and H-FXY groups showed lower thymus and spleen indices than the blank group (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the modeling groups presented lowered CD4+ level (P<0.01) and CD4+/CD8+ ratio (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the peripheral blood and elevated levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the alveolar lavage fluid (P<0.01) than the blank group. ConclusionA model of COPD with lung-spleen Qi deficiency was established through the combination of daily cigarette smoke, intratracheal instillation with LPS, and gavage of Sennae Folium infusion. The comprehensive evaluation results suggested medium-dose (10 g·kg-1) Sennae Folium infusion for gavage during the modeling of COPD with lung-spleen Qi deficiency.

Objectives: To find the prognostic factors related to early triple-negative breast cancer to optimize the therapeutic strategies, and explore the influence of programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1)expression in early triple-negative breast cancer on its prognosis, so as to provide support for clinical treatment decisions. Methods: Early triple-negative breast cancer patients treated at the National Cancer Center, National Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences during 1st June, 2009 and 31st Oct, 2015 were enrolled in this study. All the clinicopathological data of patients were collected, and the paraffin sections of the surgical specimens were stained with estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), androgen receptor, PD-L1 and other antibodies by the immunohistochemical method. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression curves were used for survival analysis of relevant clinical and pathological results and nomogram survival prediction models were established to explore the influence of relevant factors on the prognosis. Results: A total of 205 patients with triple-negative breast cancer were enrolled. Ninety patients (43.9%) were PD-L1 positive. The median follow-up time was 63 months. Thirty-seven patients were relapsed or recurrent and 16 patients were dead. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were 86.1% (95% CI: 81.4%-90.8%) and 93.6% (95% CI: 91.0%-97.6%), respectively, in the general population. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that PD-L1 expression and lymph node metastasis were correlated with DFS and OS (P<0.05). In multivariate analysis, PD-L1 expression was an independent influencing factor of DFS, with PD-L1 positive patients possessing a significant survival benefit in DFS (HR=0.31, 95% CI: 0.13-0.73). Lymph node metastasis was an independent influencing factor of OS, and OS was significantly shortened in patients with positive lymph node metastasis (HR=3.24, 95% CI: 1.15-9.17). PD-L1, lymph node metastasis, menopausal status, Ki-67 index and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen were included to establish the 1- and 3-year DFS and OS nomogram prediction models, resulting in C indices of 0.698 and 0.748, respectively. Conclusions: PD-L1 expression is a predictive biomarker of good prognostic factor in triple-negative breast cancer patients. DFS is significantly prolonged in PD-L1 positive patients and OS also shows a prolongation trend. The nomogram prognosis prediction models have reference values for adjuvant chemotherapy in this patient group.

Objective To observe the potential mechanism of electroacupuncture regulating the erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor B2/erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor-interacting B2/big mitogen-activated protein kinase 1(EphB2/EphrinB2/BMK1) signaling pathway to improve neural damage in vascular dementia rats. Methods Eighty SD male adult rats were randomly divided into a sham surgery group, a model group, a non acupoint electroacupuncture group, a nimodipine group, and an electroacupuncture three needle group. The vascular dementia rat model was made by the modified Pulsinelli four vessel occlusion method. After grouping, the rats in each group were subjected to water maze test, HE staining, Nissl staining, and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) to observe the pathological changes in the hippocampal CA1 area, and the expression of EphB2 and BMK1 in the hippocampal CA1 area was detected by immunohistochemistry; Detection of EphB2 and BMK1 protein expression in rat hippocampal CA1 region was detected by Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, the escape latency of vascular dementia rats treated with electroacupuncture and nimodipine decreased (P0.05). Compared with the nimodipine group, the expression of EphB2 and BMK1 in the hippocampal CA1 region of rats in the electroacupuncture Zhisanzhen group significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture may improve the damage of hippocampal neurons in vascular dementia rats by increasing the expression of EphB2 and BMK1 in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, thereby improving the learning and memory of vascular dementia rats.

Management and treatment of terminal metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains heavily debated. We sought to investigate the efficacy of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor plus anlotinib as a potential solution for terminal mCRPC and further evaluate the association of genomic characteristics with efficacy outcomes. We conducted a retrospective real-world study of 25 mCRPC patients who received PD-1 inhibitor plus anlotinib after the progression to standard treatments. The clinical information was extracted from the electronic medical records and 22 patients had targeted circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) next-generation sequencing. Statistical analysis showed that 6 (24.0%) patients experienced prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response and 11 (44.0%) patients experienced PSA reduction. The relationship between ctDNA findings and outcomes was also analyzed. DNA-damage repair (DDR) pathways and homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway defects indicated a comparatively longer PSA-progression-free survival (PSA-PFS; 2.5 months vs 1.2 months, P = 0.027; 3.3 months vs 1.2 months, P = 0.017; respectively). This study introduces the PD-1 inhibitor plus anlotinib as a late-line therapeutic strategy for terminal mCRPC. PD-1 inhibitor plus anlotinib may be a new treatment choice for terminal mCRPC patients with DDR or HRR pathway defects and requires further investigation.
