Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of neutrophil free fatty acid receptor 3 (FFAR3) for secondary infection in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

Methods: (1) Biological information analysis: peripheral blood microarray data sets related to acute pancreatitis (GSE194331) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), including data from 32 healthy adults, 52 patients with mild acute pancreatitis, 20 patients with moderate-to-severe acute pancreatitis, and 10 patients with SAP. The original data of GSE194331 dataset were downloaded for quality control, pruning, quantification, annotation and difference analysis, and the different genes were obtained.

Institute of Literature in Chinese Medicine, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, 138 Xianlin Avenue, Qixia District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, China.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a persistent interstitial lung condition for which effective treatment options are currently lacking. Zerumbone (zerum), a humulane sesquiterpenoid extracted from Zingiber zerumbet Smith, has been documented in previous studies to possess various pharmacological benefits. The aim of this study was to observe and investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of zerum on pulmonary fibrosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Finerenone has shown promise in reducing cardiovascular death and renal failure risk in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes, prompting a study to investigate its molecular mechanisms using network pharmacology.
  • Researchers utilized several databases to identify targets of finerenone and analyzed their interactions with a focus on disease-related targets, employing protein-protein interaction networks and enrichment analysis techniques.
  • The study identified 111 potential cardiorenal targets and pointed to key mechanisms involving lipids, atherosclerosis, and diabetic complications, while confirming finerenone's protective effects through histopathological studies and protein expression analysis in diabetic mice.

December 2023

Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210002, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates factors contributing to erectile dysfunction (ED) in 150 male patients with localized prostate cancer (LPC) after they underwent radical surgery over a two-year period.
  • Results showed that a significant number (88 out of 150) experienced ED post-surgery, with factors like age, prostate size, comorbidities, and psychological state being key influences on this outcome.
  • The researchers conclude that better clinical interventions targeting these factors are essential to improve sexual function recovery and overall quality of life for LPC patients after treatment.

["Scarless" circumcision technique retaining original appearance].

Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue

August 2023

Department of Urology, Jinling College of Clinical Medicine, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210002, China.

Objective: To explore the safety and effectiveness of the "scarless" circumcision technique (a modified sleeve-style circumcision method) that preserves the original appearance, providing a more suitable surgical option for patients with redundant prepuce.

Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent "scarless" circumcision at the Eastern Theater Command General Hospital from April 2022 to March 2023 were collected, with patients who underwent conventional circumcision (single-use stapler method) during the same period serving as the control group. The two groups were compared in terms of operation time, postoperative recovery time, incidence of postoperative complications, and patient satisfaction rates after surgery.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed cell death 1, programmed cell death ligand 1, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 have shown significantly durable clinical benefits and tolerable toxicities and have improved the survival of patients with various types of cancer. Since 2018, the National Medical Products Administration of China has approved 17 ICIs as the standard treatment for certain advanced or metastatic solid tumors. As ICIs represent a broad-spectrum antitumor strategy, the populations eligible for cancer immunotherapy are rapidly expanding.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in both developed and developing countries. The incidence of pancreatic cancer in China accounts for about a quater of the global incidence, and the epidemiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies differ due to social, economic, cultural, environmental, and public health factors. Non-domestic guidelines do not reflect the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment patterns of Chinese patients.
