RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of low-dose ketamine on neuroinflammation and microcirculation in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:Sixty adult male C57BL/6 mice, weighing 22-28 g, were randomly divided into sham-operated group, TBI group, Sham+ketamine group, and TBI+ketamine group ( n=15). A controlled cortical impingement (CCI) method was used to establish TBI models in the later 2 groups. Sham+ketamine group and TBI+ketamine group were intraperitoneally injected with 30 mg/kg ketamine once daily for 3 d at 30 min after TBI; sham-operated group and TBI group were intraperitoneally injected same amount of saline at the same time points. Cerebral cortical blood flow in 6 mice from each group was measured by laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) before, immediately after, 30 min after, 1 d after and 3 d after modeling, respectively. Three d after modeling, immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescent double label staining were used to detect the nuclear translocation of microglia markers, ionized calcin-antibody-1 (Iba-1) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 in damaged cortical brain tissues in 6 mice from each group. The remaining 3 mice in each group were sacrificed and tissue plasma was extracted 3 d after modeling; levels of NF-κB p65, phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB p65, p-IκB and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in cortical brain tissues were detected by Western blotting. Expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1-β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), iNOS, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in cortical brain tissues were detected by ELISA. Results:LSCI indicated that, 3 d after modeling, relative blood flow in local cerebral microcirculation of TBI+ketamine group was significantly increased compared with that of TBI group ( P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining indicated that compared with the sham-operated group and Sham+ketamine group, the TBI group and TBI+ketamine group had significantly increased number of Iba-1 positive cells in the cerebral cortex ( P<0.05); compared with the TBI group, the TBI+ketamine group had significantly decreased number of Iba-1 positive cells ( P<0.05). ELISA indicated that compared with the sham-operated group and Sham+ketamine group, the TBI group and TBI+ketamine group had significantly increased expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS, ROS and RNS in damaged cortical brain tissues ( P<0.05); compared with the TBI group, the TBI+ ketamine group had significantly decreased expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS, ROS and RNS in damaged cortical brain tissues ( P<0.05). Immunofluorescent double label staining indicated obviously inhibited NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in TBI+ketamine group when it was compared with TBI group. Western blotting indicated that compared with the sham-operated group and Sham+ketamine group, the TBI+ketamine group had significantly increased iNOS, NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65 and P-IκB protein expressions in damaged cortical brain tissues ( P<0.05); compared with the TBI group, the TBI+ketamine group had significantly decreased protein expressions of iNOS, NF-κB p65, p-NF-κB p65 and p-IκB in damaged cortical brain tissues ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Low-dose ketamine reduces neuroinflammation and improves cerebral microcirculatory blood flow after open TBI, whose mechanism may be related to inhibition of microglia NF-κB/iNOS pathway.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:With computer-aided design,melt electrowriting technology can precisely construct 3D tissue engineering scaffolds with specific morphology,which has attracted increasing attention in tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To elaborate on the progress of melt electrowriting technology in tissue engineering in recent years. METHODS:PubMed and CNKI were used to retrieve articles about applications of melt electrowriting technology in tissue engineering.The search time was from March 2008 to February 2023.The search terms were"melt electrowriting,melt electrospinning,electrospinning,tissue engineering,scaffold,regeneration"in English and"melt electrowriting,electrospinning,tissue engineering"in Chinese.A preliminary screening of articles was performed by reading the titles and abstracts.Finally,69 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Melt electrowriting technology can achieve precise layer-by-layer deposition of fibers compared to traditional electrospinning technology,which better simulates the complex structure of natural tissues.Compared to other 3D printing technologies,smaller-diameter fibers can be prepared by melt electrowriting technology,resulting in highly ordered porous structures.(2)By combining with other scaffold preparation techniques or materials,such as fused deposition modeling,solution electrospinning technology,and hydrogel,melt electrowriting technology shows great potential in preparing complex tissue engineering scaffolds,which provides certain possibilities for achieving complex tissue regeneration.(3)The regeneration of complex tissues often involves blood vessels,nerves,and soft and hard tissues at the same time.The regeneration of blood vessels and nerves is of great significance to realize the physiological reconstruction of tissues.However,soft and hard tissues have certain difficulties to realize the coordinated regeneration of both due to their different biological and mechanical properties.Melt electrowriting technology has certain advantages in the field of bionic scaffolds due to its good biocompatibility,the ability to prepare multi-scale scaffolds and high porosity.
RESUMO
The conventional noninvasive biological current detection such as electrocardiogram, electroencephalography and surface electromyography can provide electrical reference for diseases diagnosis. Because the bioelectrical signals are the mixed result of the common discharge of sell populations, the spatial resolution of the above bioelectrical detection is relatively limited. In recent years, the acoustoelectric imaging (AEI) has been introduced to spatially code biological current through noninvasive focused ultrasound. Then the electrical signal with precise focus position can be obtained. It can achieve noninvasive detection of biological electrical signals with millimeter-level spatial resolution and millisecond-level temporal resolution which is expected to develop into a new imaging technology for accurately detecting deep electrical activities of living organisms. We firstly describe AEI principle, including acoustoelectric effect and the derivation of acoustoelectric signal equation. Then we briefly introduce characteristics of acoustoelectric signal. It can be seen from the equation of acoustoelectric signal that the acoustoelectric signal depends on the current field and the ultrasonic field. Furtherly, the typical studies of AEI are introduced including acoustoelectric coupling mechanism, AEI methods, acoustoelectric brain imaging (ABI) and acoustoelectric cardiac imaging (ACI). In terms of the acoustoelectric coupling mechanism, the researchers found that the acoustoelectric effect of electrolyte solution is caused by the change of ion molar concentration, ion migration rate and ion viscosity with pressure and temperature, and the acoustoelectric effect coefficient of normal saline is accurate to (0.034±0.003)% MPa–1. In terms of AEI methods, researchers improved the detection sensitivity, spatial resolution, signal to noise ratio and other performance indicators by improving AEI methods and optimizing AEI systems. In terms of ABI, it can utilize the acoustoelectric coupling mechanism to endow the target area with spatial features of ultrasound, and achieve noninvasive high resolution EEG detection. We review the important research achievements and significance layer by layer from the perspectives of feasibility verification, method system optimization, and clinical application exploration in acoustoelectric imaging. In terms of ACI, it can be used to quantitatively evaluate the spatial distribution and dynamic changes of cardiac current field, providing a new idea for real-time monitoring of cardiac electrophysiological state before and after surgery. We summarize and review the important research achievements and significance of ACI at each stage: in phantom, in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we discuss the future research direction by focusing on the challenges faced by key technical links such as focused ultrasound targeting, ultrasonic spatial coding and decoding, acoustoelectric sensing detection, and imaging system integration, in order to provide basis and inspiration for AEI technology system and clinical transformation.

RESUMO
Ensuring food safety is paramount worldwide.Developing effective detection methods to ensure food safety can be challenging owing to trace hazards,long detection time,and resource-poor sites,in addition to the matrix effects of food.Personal glucose meter(PGM),a classic point-of-care testing device,possesses unique application advantages,demonstrating promise in food safety.Currently,many studies have used PGM-based biosensors and signal amplification technologies to achieve sensitive and specific detection of food hazards.Signal amplification technologies have the potential to greatly improve the analytical performance and integration of PGMs with biosensors,which is crucial for solving the challenges associated with the use of PGMs for food safety analysis.This review introduces the basic detection principle of a PGM-based sensing strategy,which consists of three key factors:target recog-nition,signal transduction,and signal output.Representative studies of existing PGM-based sensing strategies combined with various signal amplification technologies(nanomaterial-loaded multienzyme labeling,nucleic acid reaction,DNAzyme catalysis,responsive nanomaterial encapsulation,and others)in the field of food safety detection are reviewed.Future perspectives and potential opportunities and challenges associated with PGMs in the field of food safety are discussed.Despite the need for complex sample preparation and the lack of standardization in the field,using PGMs in combination with signal amplification technology shows promise as a rapid and cost-effective method for food safety hazard analysis.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of metformin preconditioning on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/PTEN-induced putative protein kinase(PINK1) signaling pathway during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in diabetic rats.Methods:Thirty-six clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6 weeks, weighing 120-160 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) by the random number table method: diabetic sham operation group (DS group), diabetic myocardial I/R group (DI/R group) and diabetic myocardial I/R+ metformin preconditioning group(DI/R+ Met group). After 4 weeks of feeding a high-fat and high-glucose diet, the model of type 2 diabetes mellitus was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 1% streptozotocin 40 mg/kg. The myocardial I/R injury was induced by blocking the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120-min reperfusion in anesthetized animals. In DI/R+ Met group, metformin 200 mg/kg was given by intragastric gavage once a day within 1 week before myocardial ischemia. Blood samples from the femoral vein were collected at 120 min of reperfusion for determination of the serum creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then the rats were sacrificed and myocardial tissues were obtained for examination of the pathological changes(by HE staining) and for determination of the percentage of myocardial infarct size (by the double staining of Ewan blue and TTC) and expression of myocardial autophagy-related protein Beclin-1, PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), phosphorylated 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activating protein kinase (p-AMPK), and ratio of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ/Ⅰ (LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with DS group, the percentage of myocardial infarct size and serum CK-MB and cTnI concentrations were significantly increased, the expression of Beclin-1, p-AMPK and PINK1 in myocardial tissues was up-regulated, the ratio of LC3II/I was increased( P<0.05), and the pathological changes were aggravated in DI/R group and DI/R+ Met group. Compared with DI/R group, the percentage of myocardial infarct size and serum CK-MB and cTnI concentrations were significantly decreased, the expression of Beclin-1, p-AMPK and PINK1 in myocardial tissues was up-regulated, the ratio of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ was increased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes were significantly reduced in DI/R+ Met group. Conclusions:The mechanism by which metformin preconditioning reduces myocardial I/R injury is related to activation of AMPK/PINK1 signaling pathway and up-regulation of mitochondrial autophagy in diabetic rats.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effect of resveratrol on ferropotosis in cardiomyocytes of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy.Methods:Thirty healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice, aged 8 weeks, weighing 22-26 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), diabetic cardiomyopathy group (group DCM) and resveratrol group (group RSV). Freshly prepared streptozotocin (STZ) 40 mg·kg -1·d -1 was intraperitoneally injected for 5 consecutive days to develop the model of type 1 diabetes mellitus. After the model was successfully developed, resveratrol 25 mg·kg -1·d -1 was intragastrically given for 12 consecutive weeks in group RSV, while the equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide was given instead in group C and group DCM. Echocardiography was performed to examine the cardiac structure and function at the end of the 12th week. Then mice were sacrificed, and myocardial tissue specimens were harvested for microscopic examination of the pathological changes of myocardial tissues (by Hematologist-Eosin staining) and mitochondrial morphology of myocardial cells (with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of the contents of iron, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) (by colorimetry) and expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group C, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter were significantly increased, the left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening were decreased, the contents of iron and MDA were increased, the content of GSH was decreased, and the expression of GPX4 was down-regulated in group DCM ( P<0.05). Compared with group DCM, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter were significantly decreased, the left ventricular fractional shortening and ejection fraction were increased, the contents of iron and MDA were decreased, the content of GSH was increased, the expression of GPX4 was up-regulated ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of myocardial tissues and changes in mitochondrial morphology of myocardial cells were significantly attenuated in group RSV. Conclusions:The mechanism by which resveratrol attenuates myocardial injury and further improves cardiac dysfunction is related to inhibition of ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes of mice with diabetic cardiomyopathy.
RESUMO
Objective: To examine the application value of 3D Slicer software assisted domestic frameless stereotactic robot in biopsy of intracranial lesions. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 80 patients who admitted consecutively and underwent intracerebral lesions biopsy with the domestic frameless stereotactic robot at Department of Neurosurgery, Aerospace Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. There were 36 males and 44 females, with a mean age of (38.5±18.0) years (range: 6 to 71 years). Before surgery only enhanced T1-weighted three-dimensional magnetization prepared gradient echo sequences and diffusion tensor imaging scans were performed. Self-reconstruction of intracranial lesions, cerebral cortex and blood vessels was carried out using 3D Slicer software system after the DICOM format imaging data of 80 patients were collected. These imaging data were merged to the workstation of the domestic frameless stereotactic robot for preoperative surgical planning and the surgical puncture path was designed to avoid blood vessels in the brain functional area, cerebral cortex and sulcus. Results: All frameless stereotactic biopsy were successfully performed. Postoperative pathological diagnosis included 50 cases of diffuse astrocytic and oligodendroglioma, 15 cases of lymphoma, 5 cases of metastatic tumors, 5 cases of inflammatory demyelinating disease, 2 cases of inflammatory granuloma, 1 case of hemangioma, 1 case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia intracranial invasion and 1 case of seminoma. The positive diagnosis rate was 100% (80/80). Postoperative imaging confirmed that the puncture path and target were accurately implemented according to the preoperative planning, and the target error was (1.32±0.44) mm (range: 0.55 to 1.99 mm). One case of puncture-related bleeding occurred at the target after surgery and improved after treatment. Conclusion: The three-dimensional multimodal images reconstructed by the 3D Slicer software before operation could help the surgeons make the preoperative planning and reduce the risk of stereotactic brain biopsy.

OBJECTIVE@#To screen the prognostic biomarkers of metabolic genes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and construct a prognostic model of metabolic genes.@*METHODS@#The histological database related to MM patients was searched. Data from MM patients and healthy controls with complete clinical information were selected for analysis.The second generation sequencing data and clinical information of bone marrow tissue of MM patients and healthy controls were collected from human protein atlas (HPA) and multiple myeloma research foundation (MMRF) databases. The gene set of metabolism-related pathways was extracted from Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) by Perl language. The biomarkers related to MM metabolism were screened by difference analysis, univariate Cox risk regression analysis and LASSO regression analysis, and the risk prognostic model and Nomogram were constructed. Risk curve and survival curve were used to verify the grouping effect of the model. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to study the difference of biological pathway enrichment between high risk group and low risk group. Multivariate Cox risk regression analysis was used to verify the independent prognostic ability of risk score.@*RESULTS@#A total of 8 mRNAs which were significantly related to the survival and prognosis of MM patients were obtained (P<0.01). As molecular markers, MM patients could be divided into high-risk group and low-risk group. Survival curve and risk curve showed that the overall survival time of patients in the low-risk group was significantly better than that in the high risk group (P<0.001). GSEA results showed that signal pathways related to basic metabolism, cell differentiation and cell cycle were significantly enriched in the high-risk group, while ribosome and N polysaccharide biosynthesis signaling pathway were more enriched in the low-risk group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk score composed of the eight metabolism-related genes could be used as an independent risk factor for the prognosis of MM patients, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that the molecular signatures of metabolism-related genes had the best predictive effect.@*CONCLUSION@#Metabolism-related pathways play an important role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of patients with MM. The clinical significance of the risk assessment model for patients with MM constructed based on eight metabolism-related core genes needs to be confirmed by further clinical studies.

Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of interleukin-4-modified gold nanoparticle (IL-4-AuNP) on the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic mice. Methods: Experimental research methods were adopted. Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) and IL-4-AuNP were synthesized by improving the methods described in published literature. The morphology of those two particles were photographed by transmission electron microscopy, and their particle sizes were calculated. The surface potential and hydration particle size of the two particles were detected by nanoparticle potentiometer and particle size analyzer, respectively. The clearance rate of IL-4-AuNP to hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion was measured by hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion kits, respectively. Mouse fibroblast line 3T3 cells were used and divided into the following groups by the random number table (the same below): blank control group, hydrogen peroxide alone group treated with hydrogen peroxide only, hydrogen peroxide+IL-4-AuNP group treated with IL-4-AuNP for 0.5 h and then treated with hydrogen peroxide. After 24 h of culture, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels of cells were detected by immunofluorescence method; cell count kit 8 was used to detect relative cell survival rate. The macrophage Raw264.7 mouse cells were then used and divided into blank control group and IL-4-AuNP group that treated with IL-4-AuNP. After 24 h of culture, the expression of arginase 1 (Arg-1) in cells was observed by immunofluorescence method. Twelve male BALB/c mice (mouse age, sex, and strain, the same below) aged 8 to 10 weeks were divided into IL-4-AuNP group and blank control group, treated accordingly. On the 16th day of treatment, whole blood samples were collected from mice for analysis of white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin level, or platelet count and the level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), urea, or creatinine. The inflammation, bleeding, or necrosis in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissue of mice were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE). Another 36 mice were selected to make diabetic model, and the full-thickness skin defect wounds were made on the back of these mice. The wounds were divided into blank control group, AuNP alone group, and IL-4-AuNP group, with 12 mice in each group, and treated accordingly. On the 0 (immediately), 4th, 9th, and 15th day of treatment, the wound condition was observed and the wound area was calculated. On the 9th day of treatment, HE staining was used to detect the length of neonatal epithelium and the thickness of granulation tissue in the wound. On the 15th day of treatment, immunofluorescence method was used to detect ROS level and the number of Arg-1 positive cells in the wound tissue. The number of samples was 6 in all cases. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, corrected t test, Tukey test, or Dunnett T3 test. Results: The size of prepared AuNP and IL-4-AuNP were uniform. The particle size, surface potential, and hydration particle size of AuNP and IL-4-AuNP were (13.0±2.1) and (13.9±2.5) nm, (-45.8±3.2) and (-20.3±2.2) mV, (14±3) and (16±4) nm, respectively. For IL-4-AuNP, the clearance rate to hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion were (69±4)% and (52±5)%, respectively. After 24 h of culture, the ROS level of 3T3 in hydrogen peroxide alone group was significantly higher than that in blank control group (q=26.12, P<0.05); the ROS level of hydrogen peroxide+IL-4-AuNP group was significantly lower than that in hydrogen peroxide alone group (q=25.12, P<0.05) and close to that in blank control group (P>0.05). After 24 h of culture, the relative survival rate of 3T3 cells in hydrogen peroxide+IL-4-AuNP group was significantly higher than that in hydrogen peroxide alone group (t=51.44, P<0.05). After 24 h of culture, Arg-1 expression of Raw264.7 cells in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly higher than that in blank control group (t'=8.83, P<0.05).On the 16th day of treatment, there were no significant statistically differences in WBC, RBC, hemoglobin level, or platelet count and the level of AST, ALT, urea, or creatinine of mice between blank control group and IL-4-AuNP group (P>0.05). No obvious inflammation, bleeding or necrosis was observed in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney of important organs in IL-4-AuNP group, and no significant changes were observed compared with blank control group. On the 0 and 4th day of treatment, the wound area of diabetic mice in blank control group, AuNP alone group, and IL-4-AuNP group had no significant difference (P>0.05). On the 9th day of treatment, the wound areas both in AuNP alone group and IL-4-AuNP group were significantly smaller than that in blank control group (with q values of 9.45 and 14.87, respectively, P<0.05), the wound area in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly smaller than that in AuNP alone group (q=5.42, P<0.05). On the 15th day of treatment, the wound areas both in AuNP alone group and IL-4-AuNP group were significantly smaller than that in blank control group (with q values of 4.84 and 20.64, respectively, P<0.05), the wound area in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly smaller than that in AuNP alone group (q=15.80, P<0.05); moreover, inflammations such as redness and swelling were significantly reduced in IL-4-AuNP group compared with the other two groups. On the 9th day of treatment, compared with blank control group and AuNP alone group, the length of neonatal epithelium in the wound of diabetic mice in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly longer (all P<0.05), and the thickness of the granulation tissue in the wound was significantly increased (with q values of 11.33 and 9.65, respectively, all P<0.05). On the 15th day of treatment, compared with blank control group, ROS levels in wound tissue of diabetic mice in AuNP alone group and IL-4-AuNP group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). On the 15th day of treatment, the number of Arg-1 positive cells in the wounds of diabetic mice in IL-4-AuNP group was significantly more than that in blank control group and AuNP alone group, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions: IL-4-AuNP is safe in vivo, and can improve the oxidative microenvironment by removing ROS and induce macrophage polarization towards M2 phenotype, thus promote efficient diabetic wound healing and regeneration of full-thickness skin defects in diabetic mice.

Wound healing is a complex process under precise regulation, including multiple stages such as inflammation, anti-inflammatory, and regeneration. Macrophages play an important regulatory role in the differentiated process of wound healing due to their obvious plasticity. If macrophages fail to express specific functions in a timely manner, it will affect the healing function of tissues and lead to pathological tissue healing. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the different functions of different types of macrophages and to regulate them specifically in different stages of wound healing to promote the healing and regeneration of wound tissue. In this paper, we illustrate the different functions of macrophages in the wound and their basic mechanisms, according to the basic process of wound healing, and emphasize the strategies of macrophage regulation that may be applied to clinical treatment in the future.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on the clinical outcomes of patients infected with the Omicron variant. Methods: A total of 1 403 Omicron-infected patients admitted to 20 designated hospitals in Guangdong Province from January 1 to May 31, 2022, were selected as subjects in this study. A case-control study was conducted to collect the demographic data, underlying disease, vaccination status, last exposure date, gene sequencing of infected strains and clinical outcomes from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System and Guangdong telemedicine platform. Pneumonia (common, severe and critical) and non-pneumonia (asymptomatic and mild) were selected as the case group and control group. The effect of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine on the clinical outcomes of patients infected with the Omicron variant was analyzed. Results: The median age [M (Q1, Q3)] of the subjects was 36 (27-47) years old, with males accounting for 52.25% (733 cases). The main outcome of the infection was non-pneumonia, accounting for 92.09% (1 292 cases), and the duration [M (Q1, Q3)] of the disease was 18 (14-22) days. There were 134 (9.55%), 39 (2.78%), 403 (28.72%), 437 (31.15%) and 390 (27.80%) cases with no or partial vaccination, within 90 days of primary vaccination, over 90 days of primary vaccination, within 90 days of booster vaccination and over 90 days of booster vaccination, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, age, underlying disease, and location of the report, compared with those with no or partial vaccination, the risk of developing pneumonia was lower in those with over 90 days of primary vaccination, within 90 days of booster vaccination and over 90 days of booster vaccination [OR (95%CI) values were 0.52 (0.28-0.98), 0.39 (0.21-0.73) and 0.40 (0.21-0.77), respectively]. Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, age, underlying disease and location of the report, the duration of the disease was shorter in those who received booster vaccinated for more than 90 days compared with that in those who had no or partial vaccination [HR (95%CI): 1.26 (1.03-1.55)]. Conclusion: The inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine affects the clinical outcomes of patients infected with the Omicron variant.

Methods: This was a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 266 patients with MDS-EB diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between April 2016 and November 2021 were analyzed. The observed indicators included blood routine counts, mutated genes, overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and leukemia-free survival (LFS). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to depict the survival curves. The Log-rank test method was equally used to compare survival across groups and performed the Cox proportional hazard regression model for prognostic analysis. Results: In 266 patients with MDS-EB, 166 (62.4%) were men, and the median age was 57 (17-81) years. Moreover, there were included 26 and 240 patients in the SF3B1-mutated and SF3B1 wild-type groups. Patients in the SF3B1-mutated group were older [median age 65 (51, 69) years vs. 56 (46, 66) years, P=0.033], had higher white blood cell (WBC) counts [3.08 (2.35, 4.78) × 109/L vs. 2.13 (1.40, 3.77) × 109/L], platelet (PLT) counts [122.5 (50.5, 215.0) ×109/L vs. 49.0 (24.3, 100.8) × 109/L], absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) [1.83 (1.01, 2.88) × 109/L vs. 0.80 (0.41, 1.99) × 109/L]and occurrence of DNMT3A mutation [23.1% (6/26) vs. 6.7% (16/240)] (all P<0.05). The ORR were similar in both groups after 2 and 4 cycles of therapy (P=0.348, P=1.000). Moreover, the LFS (P=0.218), PFS (P=0.179) and OS (P=0.188) were similar across the groups. Univariate Cox analysis revealed that SF3B1 mutation did not affect the prognosis of patients with MDS-EB (OS: P=0.193; PFS: P=0.184). Conclusions: Patients with SF3B1 mutation were older, with greater WBC, PLT, and ANC, and SF3B1 mutation easily co-occurred with DNMT3A mutation. From this model, there were no significant differences in efficacy and survival of MDS-EB with or without SF3B1 mutation.

Objective:To analyze the site of vestibular nerve damaged in patients with acute vestibular neuritis. Methods:Fifty-seven patients with acute vestibular neuritis were recruited, and each patient underwent caloric irrigation test, video head impulse test(vHIT) and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials(VEMPs). The results were further analyzed. Results:Analysis of abnormal rates of different vestibular function tests: the abnormal rate of caloric irrigation test, horizontal semicircular canal vHIT, anterior semicircular canal vHIT, and posterior semicircular canal vHIT were 92.98%, 92.98%, 92.98%, and 52.63%, respectively. The abnormal rate of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials(cVEMP) and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials(oVEMP) were 52.63% and 89.47%. The abnormal rate of caloric irrigation test, horizontal semicircular canal vHIT, anterior semicircular canal vHIT, and oVEMP were significantly higher than posterior semicircular canal vHIT and cVEMP(P<0.01). Combination analysis of different vestibular function tests: there are twenty-six patients(45.61%, superior and inferior vestibular nerve) with abnormal caloric irrigation test, video head impulse test, and VEMPs. There are twenty-five patients(43.86%, superior vestibular nerve) with abnormal caloric irrigation test, horizontal semicircular canal vHIT, anterior semicircular canal vHIT, and oVEMP. There are 4 patients(7.02%, inferior vestibular nerve) with abnormal posterior semicircular canal vHIT and cVEMP. There are two patients(3.51%, ampullary vestibular nerve) with abnormal caloric irrigation test, horizontal semicircular canal vHIT, and anterior semicircular canal vHIT. The rate of superior and inferior vestibular neuritis and superior vestibular neuritis were significantly higher than inferior vestibular neuritis and ampullary vestibular neuritis(P<0.01). Conclusion:Acute vestibular neuritis subtypes can be divided into four categories: superior and inferior vestibular neuritis, superior vestibular neuritis, inferior vestibular neuritis, and ampullary vestibular neuritis. Video head impulse test can accurately assess the site of vestibular nerve damage in patients with acute vestibular neuritis. In addition, vHIT combined with VEMPs can provide objective evidence for the diagnosis of ampullary vestibular neuritis.

Background:The pathological and physiological mechanisms of functional gastrointestinal disorders(FGIDs)are complex.In recent years,FGIDs have been referred to as gut-brain interaction disorders.Emotional disorders are widely present in patients with FGIDs.Our study aims to analyze the occurrence of emotional disorders in patients with functional dyspepsia(FD)overlap with other FGIDs.Aims:To explore whether detailed consultation and comprehensive analysis can provide more accurate treatment for patients with FD.Methods:This study included 137 patients with FD,who complete a detailed gastrointestinal symptom survey questionnaire.We evaluated their emotional status through an anxiety and depression scale.Results:Among patients with anxiety or depression disorder,the symptoms of FD were more severe thanthose without anxiety or depression(P=0.003,P=0.003).There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of anxiety and depression scores between patients with simple FD and those with overlapping 1,2,and 3 FGIDs(P=0.021,P=0.010).Compared with patients with simple FD and overlapping 1,2 and 3 FGIDs,there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression patients(P=0.005,P=0.005).The chi square test showed a significant trend in the proportion of anxiety patients(P=0.009),indicating that patients with FGIDs overlapping syndrome are more likely to develop anxiety or depression disorders,and the more overlapping quantities,the more likely they are to develop anxiety disorders.There is a significant difference in the distribution of quantities of FGIDs between patients with and without anxiety(P=0.010),indicating that patients with anxiety disorders are more likely to suffer from two or more types of FGIDs.The score of gastrointestinal symptoms is positively correlated with the score of anxiety and depression,and this correlation is statistically significant(P=0.009,P=0.021).Conclusions:The prevalence of FGIDs overlapping syndrome is closely related to emotional disorders.Clinicians,especially grassroots general practitioners and gastroenterologists,should pay attention to the emotional state of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms,especially those with extensive and diverse symptoms.Timely psychological state assessment should be conducted,and if necessary,psychiatric specialists should be recommended for consultation.
RESUMO
Objective: To analyze the surgical efficacy of patients with mixed hearing loss and otosclerosis with different air bone gap (ABG) before surgery, and to provide reference for the prognosis evaluation of otosclerosis surgery. Methods: The clinical data of 108 cases(116 ears) of otosclerosis who had undergone stapes fenestration technique artificial stapes implantation in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from November 2013 to May 2020 and had mixed hearing loss before surgery were collected, including 71 women(76 ears)and 37 men (40 ears), with an average age of 38.5 years. According to preoperative pure tone audiometry ABG, they were divided into three groups: group S, 15 dB≤ABG<31 dB, a total of 39 ears; group M, 31 dB≤ABG<46 dB, a total of 58 ears; and group L, ABG≥46 dB, 19 ears in total. The hearing outcomes of three groups of patients at 6-12 months after surgery were compared and analyzed using SPSS 24.0 statistical software. Results: A total of 3 patients (group S: 2 cases; group L: 1 case) experienced severe sensorineural hearing loss after surgery and were not included in the statistical analysis. After surgery, the pure tone hearing threshold of patients with otosclerosis in each group was significantly improved compared to before surgery, with an average air conduction threshold improvement of(21.6±13.4) dB. The difference between before and after surgery was statistically significant(t=17.13, P<0.01). The average bone conduction threshold improved by(3.7±7.6) dB, and the difference was statistically significant before and after surgery(t=5.20, P<0.01). The postoperative ABG was(18.3±9.3) dB, which was significantly reduced compared to preoperative(36.2±8.6)dB. Among the three groups of patients, the L group had the highest improvement in air conduction threshold[(29.9±10.8)dB], while the S group had the lowest improvement[(15.7±11.4)dB]. There was no statistically significant difference in post operative pure tone hearing thresholds between the three groups(P>0.05). The postoperative ABG in group S was the smallest[(16.5±9.0)dB], while in group L, the postoperative ABG was the largest[(20.5±10.0)dB]. Compared with group S, group M and group L still had a large residual ABG at 2 000 Hz after surgery. The bone conduction threshold of both S and M groups improved to some extent after surgery compared to before (P<0.01). Conclusions: Surgery can benefit patients with mixed hearing loss and otosclerosis with different preoperative ABG. Patients with small preoperative ABG have better surgical results and ideal ABG closure at all frequencies after surgery. Patients with large preoperative ABG can significantly increase the gas conduction threshold during surgery, but certain frequencies of ABG may still be left behind after surgery. The improvement effect of surgery on bone conduction threshold is not significant. Patients should be informed of treatment methods such as hearing aids based on their actual situation for selection.

Conventional wisdom holds that the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is usually in older people. However, with extended follow-up in large cohort studies, the trajectory of lung function development has been gradually delineated, indicating that the decline of lung function may originate early in life. In addition, a large number of studies have shown that people with chronic respiratory symptoms, pulmonary imaging changes and abnormal lung physiology, but not in line with pulmonary function diagnosis of COPD, tend to develop COPD in the future and may have a worse prognosis, suggesting the necessity of early intervention. The GOLD 2022 report proposes a series of terms related to COPD, including COPD in young people and pre-COPD, opening up new opportunities for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of COPD. These concepts also guide the study design of the biological mechanism of COPD and the trajectory of disease progression. This article reviews the research progress of COPD in young people and pre-COPD to attract more attention in clinical practice.
