RESUMEN
Background Sleep quality is one of the important factors affecting soldiers’ task performance. Objective To explore the effects of mindful attention awareness, burnout, and occupational stress on sleep quality among soldiers in plateau areas. Methods A total of 1090 soldiers were selected from four units in plateau areas by cluster sampling method and were asked to participate a cross-sectional questionnaire survey using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PQSI), Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediated effect test were conducted for the study. Results Of the 1090 soldiers recruited, 1082 soldiers returned valid questionnaires, and the valid recovery rate was 99.26%. The median (P25, P75) score of PSQI was 4.00 (2.00,7.00), the median score of OSI was 26.00 (17.00, 34.00), the median score of MBI-GS was 3.53 (3.13, 4.00), and the median score of MAAS was 71.00 (59.00, 82.00). The burnout and mindful attention awareness levels varied among military personnel of different age groups (P<0.05), so did the burnout and occupational stress levels among military personnel of different length of service groups (P<0.05), and the occupational stress, PSQI, burnout, and mindful attention awareness levels among military personnel with different educational backgrounds and genders (P<0.05). The results of mediated effect test showed that occupational stress and burnout had both a parallel mediated effect and a sequential mediating effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality, with effect sizes of 15.3%, 21.5% and 31.8%, respectively. Conclusion There is a mediated effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality by the occupational stress and burnout of military personnel in plateau areas, and sleep quality is also affected by mindful attention awareness through the chain-mediated effect of occupational stress and burnout.
RESUMEN
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly ravaged the world and infected hundreds of millions of people since its outbreak. Early diagnosis of COVID-19 is conducive to the control of virus transmission and the timely treatment of patients. Among the imaging techniques, chest CT is an important basis for the diagnosis and evaluation of COVID-19. 18F-FDG PET is not generally recommended as a routine diagnostic tool for COVID-19, but it plays an important role in the assessment of SARS-CoV-2-related events based on the characteristic of whole-body multi-systemic scan and functional imaging diagnosis. In this paper, the application of 18F-FDG PET in COVID-19 diagnosis, prognostic evaluation and long-term sequelae evaluation, and clinical performance of 18F-FDG PET after COVID-19 vaccine are summarized on the basis of literature research and clinical reports analysis. Furthermore, the application and development direction of other new molecular probes for nuclear medicine in COVID-19 are prospected.

Revman5.3.0 was used for statistical analysis. ResultsA total of 52 studies in 19 countries were included. These literatures showed moderate and high quality. Furthermore， the pooled incidence of COVID-19 reinfection was estimated to be 1.9%（95%CI： 0.9%‒4.7%， P<0.01）， pooled incidence of reinfection among medical workers in hospitals and staff in nursing home was 13.8%（95%CI： 4.8%‒34.2%， P<0.01）， and pooled incidence of critical reinfection was 17.3%（95%CI： 11.5%‒25.9%， P<0.01）.Sensitivity and publication bias analysis showed that the pooled incidence was stable and no publication bias was identified. ConclusionIncidence and severity of COVID-19 reinfection are both high. Although the prevention and control policy against COVID-19 has been adjusted in China， the public should pay attention to taking protective measures to avoid the reinfection.
RESUMEN
Objective:To optimize the preparation conditions and methods of Al 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 and evaluate the feasibility of clinical transformation. Methods:PSMA- N, N′-bis(2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethy)benzyl)ethylenediamine- N, N′-diacetic acid (HBED-CC) dissolved in CH 3COONH 4 buffer (pH=4.8) was reacted with AlCl 3·3H 2O dissolved in pure water at a molar ratio of 1∶1 (60 ℃, 10 min), and then purified by tC18 column and freeze-dried to obtain [Al]-PSMA-11. [Al]-PSMA-11 was labeled by 18F - and the effects of reaction temperature and pH value on the labeling rate were investigated. The labeled products were purified by tC18 column and filtered through sterile filter to obtain Al 18F-PSMA-11. The comparison of biodistribution between Al 18F-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 was analyzed on 5 healthy volunteers (age (56±8) years). The differences of SUV max between two groups were analyzed by independent-sample t test. Besides, the early and delayed imaging of Al 18F-PSMA-11 PET/CT were performed on a patient (70 years old) with recurrent prostate cancer for assessment of its potential for prostate cancer recurrence monitoring. Results:The labeling rate was (42.3±3.2)% reacting in aqueous phase (60 ℃, pH=4.8) for 15 min. After being purified with tC18 cartridge, the radiochemical purity of the product was still more than 95% after placement at room temperature for 3 h. Preliminary application demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the biodistribution of Al 18F-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 among lacrimal gland, parotid gland, submandibular gland, liver, spleen, kidney, bladder and part of intestine and SUV max of targeted organs were also not different ( t values: 0.19-1.95, all P>0.05) between two groups. Multiple bone metastases were observed by Al 18F-PSMA-11 PET/CT delayed imaging (3 h) in a patient with recurrent prostate cancer. Conclusion:Al 18F-PSMA-11 produced with pre-conjugated [Al]-PSMA-11 meets the requirement of the PET imaging application, and it has good potential of localization and imaging for prostate cancer metastatic lesions.

RESUMEN
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Alcohol dependence (AD) is a serious and common public health problem. The identification of genes that contribute to the AD variation will improve our understanding of the genetic mechanism underlying this complex disease. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and candidate gene genetic association studies identified individual genes as candidates for alcohol phenotypes, but efforts to generate an integrated view of accumulative genetic variants and pathways under alcohol drinking are lacking.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We applied enrichment gene set analysis to existing genetic association results to identify pertinent pathways to AD in this study. A total of 1 438 SNPs (P < 1.0 × 10(-3)) associated to alcohol drinking related traits have been collected from 31 studies (10 candidate gene association studies, 19 GWAS of SNPs, and 2 GWAS of copy number variants).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among all of the KEGG pathways, the calcium signaling pathway (hsa04020) showed the most significant enrichment of associations (21 genes) to alcohol consumption phenotypes (P = 5.4 × 10(-5)). Furthermore, the calcium signaling pathway is the only pathway that turned out to be significant after multiple test adjustments, achieving Bonferroni P value of 0.8 × 10(-3) and FDR value of 0.6 × 10(-2), respectively. Interestingly, the calcium signaling pathway was previously found to be essential to regulate brain function, and genes in this pathway link to a depressive effect of alcohol consumption on the body.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Our findings, together with previous biological evidence, suggest the importance of gene polymorphisms of calcium signaling pathway to AD susceptibility. Still, further investigations are warranted to uncover the role of this pathway in AD and related traits.</p>

To determine the residue of 14 sulfonamides in milk, a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( HPLC-MS/MS ) method with on-line soild phase extraction ( SPE ) in cation exchange mode was established. 5 g of milk was extracted with 15 mL acetonitrile. Then the extraction was evaporated by 50 ℃ nitrogen and dissolved by 1. 00 mL 0. 2% formic acid. The dissolution was enriched and purified by MS/MS cation exchange on-line SPE column on a double ternary liquid chromatography, and eluted by the mixed solution of 2% ammonia methanol and 0. 2% formic acid (50:50, V/V). The compounds were separated by an octadecyl silica bonded column and determined by the tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that the linearity of 14 sulfonamides was good in the range of 0 . 1–10 μg/kg ( r≥0 . 9995 ) . The LOD of the method was 0. 05 μg/kg, while the LOQ was 0. 1 μg/kg. The recoveries of the 14 sulfonamides were in the range of 60 %-90 %, while the inter-batch and intra-batch RSDs were all lower than 10%. The method was proved to be more convenient, economical and stable than the traditional SPE column method.
RESUMEN
A new method using on-line cleanup technology combined with liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry ( UHPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of seven kinds of β2-agonists residues, Formoterol, Salmeterol, Carbuterol, Clenisopenterol, Clenpenterol, Clencyclohexerol and Clenbuterol-hydroxymethyl in livestock manure. The sample was sufficiently extracted by acidic acetonitrile and diluted by 0. 2% formic acid. The extract was online purified on HyperSep Retain CX column where the sample matrix was washed away and the analytes were retained. The analytes were eluted into Hypersil Gold C18 column by 2% Ammonia-methanol solution. The seven β2-agonists were detected in selected reaction monitoring ( SRM) mode via positive electrospray ionization ( ESI+) by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed good linearity correlation coefficients over 0 . 9928 for the seven kinds of β2-agonists in 0 . 5-100 μg/L concentration range. The LOD of seven kinds of β2-agonists in livestock mature is 1 μg/kg, while the LOQ is 5 μg/kg. When 5-50 μg/kg of the seven kinds ofβ2-agonists were added into the blank livestock manure, an average recovery of 67% -112% was obtained with the relative standard deviations of 2. 9%-10. 2%. The method is simple, rapid and has good reproducibility for quantitative and confirmatory analysis ofβ2-agonist residues.
