    Abstract Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) resistance is the most important risk factor for eradication failure. However, in most regions, antibiotic resistance rates of H. pylori in patients with different types of gastric mucosal lesions are still unclear. An 8-year clinical retrospective cohort study involving 2847 patients was performed. In this study, we first summarized and compared the resistance status of H. pylori in different years, ages, sexes, and gastric diseases. The resistance profiles of amoxicillin (AMX), clarithromycin (CLR), levofloxacin (LVX) and furazolidone (FR) and their changing trends in the clinic were described. Then, multiple antibiotic resistance in different gastric diseases and years were described and compared. The relationship between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication history and antibiotic resistance in H. pylori was also explored. Finally, an antibiotic resistance risk model was constructed for clinical resistance risk prediction. The overall resistance rates of AMX, CLR, LVX and FR in gastric diseases were 8.18%, 38.11%, 43.98%, and 13.73%, respectively. The mono resistance, double resistance, triple resistance, and quadruple resistance rates were 30.17%, 25.96%, 6.46%, and 0.63%, respectively. Compared with the period from 2014 to 2016, the rates of mono-resistance and multiple resistance all showed relatively downward trends in the past 5 years. Factors including age, sex, type of gastric lesions and recent PPI treatment history are associated with the antibiotic resistance rate of H. pylori. Atrophic gastritis is an important clinical feature of high-risk antibiotic resistance in H. pylori-infected patients. Patients with atrophic gastritis have higher risk of resistant strains infection. In this study, our data provide the association between antibiotic resistance of H. pylori and gastritis pattern, which indicate the higher risk of resistant strain infection if the patients with atrophic gastritis, PPI history and older age.

    Abstract Immune infiltration plays a crucial role in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). In this study, we explored the immune microenvironment of IDD through single-cell bioinformatics analysis. Three single-cell datasets were integrated into this study. Nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) were divided into subgroups based on characteristic genes, and the role of each subgroup in the IDD process was analyzed through pseudo-time trajectory analysis. The hub genes were obtained using hdWGCNA, further identified by bulk datasets and pseudo-time sequence. The expression of the hub genes defined the NPCs related to immune infiltration, and the interaction between these NPCs and immunocytes was explored. The NPCs were divided into four subgroups: reserve NPCs, HCL-NPCs, response NPCs, and support NPCs, which, respectively, dominate the four processes of IDD: non, mild, moderate, and severe degeneration. SPP1 and ICAM1 were identified as the nucleus pulposus immune infiltration hub genes. Macrophages and myelocytes played pro-inflammatory roles in the SPP1-ICAM both-up NPC group through the SPP1-CD44 pathway and ICAM1-ITGB2 ligand-receptor pathway, respectively. At the same time, both-up NPCs sought self-help inflammation remission from neutrophils through the ANXA1-FPR1 pathway. The systematic analysis of the differentiation and immune infiltration landscapes helps to understand IDD's overall development process. Our data suggest that SPP1 and ICAM1 may be new targets for the treatment of inflammatory infiltration in IDD.

    Abstract Numerous research works have emphasized the critical role that circadian rhythm plays in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The goal of clarifying chrono-pharmacological strategies for improving cancer treatment in clinical settings is a continuous endeavor. Consequently, to enhance the use of time-based pharmaceutical therapies in oncology, combining existing knowledge on circadian rhythms' roles within the TME is essential. This perspective elucidates the functions of circadian rhythms in the TME across various stages of cancer development, progression, and metastasis. Specifically, aging, angiogenesis, and inflammation are implicated in modulating circadian rhythm within the TME. Furthermore, circadian rhythm exerts a profound influence on current cancer treatments and thereby generates chronotheray to manage tumors. From a TME perspective, circadian rhythm offers promising opportunities for cancer prevention and treatment; nevertheless, further study is needed to address unanswered scientific problems.

    Abstract Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. They primarily occur in women aged 30-50 years old, rarely in adolescents. In this article, the diagnosis and treatment of a 16-year-old teenager with recurrent submucosal fibroids were reported. The patient underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy due to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), whereas failed to receive postoperative follow-up on a regular basis. At 18 months after the operation, she was admitted to hospital again due to AUB. Transvaginal ultrasound detected a space-occupying mass of 5.2 cm×4.6 cm×3.8 cm in the uterine cavity. She repeatedly underwent hysteroscopic partial myomectomy. Postoperative pathological biopsy indicated the diagnosis of submucosal uterine fibroids. The diagnosis and treatment of this case suggests that in the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent uterine fibroids in adolescents, it is necessary to differentiate fibroids from sarcomatosis. Meantime, the patient’s fertility should be preserved to the largest extent and postoperative follow-up should be strengthened.

    Abstract Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a glucose and lipid metabolic regulator. Recent research revealed that FGF21 was also induced by inflammatory stimuli. Its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been investigated. In this study, an experimental IBD model was established in FGF21 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice by adding 2.5% (wt/vol) dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to their drinking water for 7 days. The severity of the colitis and the inflammation of the mouse colon tissues were analyzed. In WT mice, acute DSS treatment induced an elevation in plasma FGF21 and a significant loss of body weight in a time-dependent manner. Surprisingly, the loss of body weight and the severity of the colitis induced by DSS treatment in WT mice were significantly attenuated in FGF21 KO mice. Colon and circulating pro-inflammatory factors were significantly lower in the FGF21 KO mice compared to the WT mice. As shown by BrdU staining, the FGF21 KO mice demonstrated increased colonic epithelial cell proliferation. DSS treatment reduced intestinal Paneth cell and goblet cell numbers in the WT mice, and this effect was attenuated in the FGF21 KO mice. Mechanistically, FGF21 deficiency significantly increased the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 activation in intestinal epithelial cells and increased the expression of IL-22. Further study showed that the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-2/3 (SOCS 2/3), a known feedback inhibitor of STAT3, was significantly inhibited in the DSS-treated FGF2 KO mice compared to the WT mice. We conclude that FGF21 deficiency attenuated the severity of DSS-induced acute colitis, which is likely mediated by enhancing the activation of the IL-22-STAT3 signaling pathway in intestinal epithelial cells.

    Abstract Background: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) or percutaneous short-segment fixation (PSSF) is often used to treat Kummell's disease. However, it is not clear which treatment is better for patients.
    Objective: To retrospectively compare the clinical efficacy of PVP and PSSF for the treatment of Kummell's disease.
    Method: 60 patients were involved in this research and the period of follow-up was at least 2 years. 27 of them were treated with PVP (Group I) and the rest who received PSSF (Group II). The visual analog scale (VAS) and radiographic indexes of each participant had been measured preoperatively as well as 1 week, 3 months, and 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were assessed at the last time point.
    Results: Comparing the two groups, no statistical significance was found among all parameters preoperatively. The time of operations and blood loss is less in Group I. At each time point after operation, the imaging indices in Group II are lower (P< 0.05). One week after treatments, the VAS scores are lower in Group I, and similarly, 3 months are the same (P< 0.05), while VAS are similar at the last time point. In the aspect of ODI scores, they are lower in Group II during long-term follow-up.
    Conclusion: For the treatment of Kummell's disease, both PVP and PSSF have been found to be effective. PVP can provide rapid pain relief with a shorter operation time. However, in cases with severe kyphosis deformity, PSSF should be given priority.

    Abstract The modification of inorganic two-dimensional (2D) materials with organic functional motifs is in high demand for the optimization of their properties, but it is still a daunting challenge. Organic metal chalcogenides (OMCs) are a type of newly emerging 2D materials, with metal chalcogenide layers covalently anchored by long-range ordered organic functional motifs, these materials are extremely desirable but impossible to realize by traditional methods. Both the inorganic layer and organic functional motifs of OMCs are highly designable and thus provide this type of 2D materials with enormous variety in terms of their structure and properties. This Minireview aims to review the latest developments in OMCs and their bulk precursors. Firstly, the structure types of the bulk precursors for OMCs are introduced. Second, the synthesis and applications of OMC 2D materials in photoelectricity, catalysis, sensors, and energy transfer are explored. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for future research on OMCs are discussed.

    Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a significant public health challenge afflicting approximately 1 billion individuals both in the Western world and in the East world. While liver biopsy is considered as gold standard in the diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis, noninvasive imaging technologies, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET) could offer more sensitive, comprehensive, and quantitative measurement for NAFLD. In this review, we focus on recent development and applications of PET/SPECT molecular probes that enable multispatial/temporal visualization and quantification of physiopathological progress at the molecular level in the NAFLD. We shall also discuss the limitations of current radioligands and future direction for PET/SPECT probe development.
