    Abstract Background: Controversy surrounds the indications for endoscopic treatment (ET) versus surgery in addressing gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (GI-NENs). This paper aims to compare the long-term survival prognosis between ET and surgery for patients with GI-NENs.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of GI-NEN patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 was conducted using the SEER database. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were assessed through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to adjust for clinical variables.
    Results: This study encompassed 12,016 patients with GI-NENs, with 3732 patients (31.1%) undergoing ET and 8284 patients (68.9%) opting for surgery. The rectum was the most frequent location for ET, while the small bowel was the predominant site for surgery. Both the ET and surgical groups exhibited similar overall survival risk and cancer-specific survival risk before and after matching. No significant differences in the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS and CSS rates were observed between the ET and surgery groups after PSM. Nevertheless, subgroup analysis revealed a significantly better CSS in the ET group than the surgery group, particularly in stage I and tumors sized <10mm (P<0.01). In the colon subgroup, the OS and CSS of the ET group were superior to those of the surgery group (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Endoscopic treatment and surgery demonstrate comparable long-term survival prognoses for treating GI-NENs. ET emerges as a viable option for patients averse to surgical interventions.

    Abstract Background: Little is known about the disease of early-onset cholangiocarcinoma (EOC). The primary objective of this study was to compare EOC with later-onset cholangiocarcinoma (LOC) concerning clinical features and survival prognosis.
    Methods: 19325 cholangiocarcinoma patients were extracted from 1975 to 2020 in the SEER database. Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used for the evaluation of cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). To reduce confounding, we compared survival differences between the EOC and LOC groups using propensity score matching (PSM).
    Results: 4037 cholangiocarcinoma patients were included in the study, of which 274 were EOC and 3763 were LOC. Early-onset patients were more likely to be non-white, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. At diagnosis, patients had advanced AJCC stage, lymph node metastase and distant metastase. The EOC patients were more likely to receive surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy than later-onset patients. Multifactorial COX analysis indicated that EOC patients had lower mortality risk than later-onset patients, and similar results were obtained after PSM; Kaplan-Meier survival curves corroborated that early-onset patients exhibited better OS than later-onset patients, and this survival advantage persisted after PSM. Further subgroup analysis following matching demonstrated that early-onset patients had better OS than later-onset patients in the surgical subgroup, while there were no statistically significant differences in the radiotherapy and chemotherapy subgroups.
    Conclusion: The EOC patients typically exhibit an intrahepatic presentation and generally experience a more favorable prognosis. Surgery emerged as a critical treatment modality significantly influencing the overall prognosis of EOC.

    Abstract The Spermophilus dauricus, the wild Daurian ground squirrel, is known to exhibit seasonal breeding behavior. Although the importance of gut microbiota in animal digestion, metabolism, and immunity is well-established, the correlation between gut microbiota and seasonal breeding in this species remains inadequately explored. In the present study, using metagenomic sequencing technology, the compositions and functions of the gut microbiota of wild Daurian ground squirrels in different breeding seasons were explored. The dominant gut microbial phyla were Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The Firmicutes were predominant in the breeding season, whereas Bacteroidetes were predominant in the non-breeding season. At the genus level, Lactobacillus accumulated during the breeding season, whereas Odoribacter and Alistipes increased during the non-breeding season. GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome) annotations indicated that genes in gut samples were highly associated with metabolic functions. The differential expression gene analysis showed that genes related to the phosphotransferase system, cysteine, and methionine metabolism were highly expressed during the breeding season, whereas the non-breeding season upregulated genes were enriched in starch and sucrose metabolism and bacterial chemotaxis pathways. In conclusion, this study could provide a reference for investigating gut microbiota in seasonal breeding animals and offer new insight into gut microbial function.

    Abstract Detailed molecular genetic research on amphibian populations has a significant role in understanding the genetic adaptability to local environments. The oriental fire-bellied toads (Bombina orientalis) were artificially introduced to Beijing from Shandong Province in 1927, and since then, this separated population went through an independent evolution. To explore the differentiation of the introduced population with its original population, this study analyzed the genetic structure of the oriental fire-bellied toad, based on the mitochondrial genome control region and six microsatellite sites. The results showed that the haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of the mitochondrial D-loop region partial sequences of the Beijing Botanical Garden population and the Baiwangshan population were lower than those of the Shangdong Kunyushan population. Microsatellite marker analysis also showed that the observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity of the Beijing populations were lower than those of the Kunyushan population. The phylogenetic trees and network diagrams of haplotypes indicated that the three populations were not genetically separated. However, the structure analysis showed a genetic differentiation and categorized the sampling individuals into Beijing and Shandong genetic clusters, which indicated a tendency for isolated evolution in the Beijing population. Although the Beijing populations showed a decline in genetic diversity, it was still at a moderate level, which could maintain the survival of the population. Thus, there is no need to reintroduce new individuals from the Kunyushan source population.

    Abstract Seasonal breeding is a normal phenomenon in which animals adapt to natural selection and reproduce only in specific seasons. Large studies have reported that the gut microbiota is closely related to reproduction. The purpose of this study was to explore the distinct taxonomy and function of the gut microbiota in the breeding and non-breeding seasons of the wild ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus). The 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology was utilized to sequence the gut microbiota of the wild ground squirrel. PICRUSt analysis was also applied to predict the function of the gut microbiota. The results suggested that the main components of the gut microbiota in all samples were Firmicutes (61.8%), Bacteroidetes (32.4%), and Proteobacteria (3.7%). Microbial community composition analyses revealed significant differences between the breeding and non-breeding seasons. At the genus level, Alistipes, Mycoplasma, Anaerotruncus, and Odoribacter were more abundant in the non-breeding season, while Blautia and Streptococcus were more abundant in the breeding season. The results of a functional prediction suggested that the relative abundance of functional categories that were related to lipid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism increased in the breeding season. The relative abundance of energy metabolism, transcription, and signal transduction increased in the non-breeding season. Overall, this study found differences in the taxonomy and function of the gut microbiota of the wild ground squirrel between the breeding and non-breeding seasons, and laid the foundation for further studies on the relationship between the gut microbiota and seasonal breeding.

    Abstract G-protein-coupled receptor 41 (GPR41) and G-protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43) are important short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) receptors. Previous studies indicated that GPR41 and GPR43 are involved in the secretion of gastrointestinal peptides, and glucose and lipid metabolism, and are closely related to obesity and type II diabetes, and other diseases. The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between the GPR41 and GPR43 and seasonal breeding, and provide new prospects for further exploring the nutritional needs of breeding. We identified the localization and expression levels of GPR41 and GPR43 in the colon of the wild ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus) both in the breeding season and non-breeding season. The histological results revealed that the lumen diameter of the colon had obvious seasonal changes, and the diameter of the colonic lumen in the non-breeding season was larger than that in the breeding season. Immunohistochemical staining suggested GPR41 and GPR43 have expressed in the simple layer columnar epithelium. In addition, compared with the breeding season, the mRNA and protein expression levels of GPR41 and GPR43 in the colon were higher during the non-breeding season. In general, these results indicated GPR41 and GPR43 might play a certain role in regulating seasonal breeding.
