Objective To explore the diagnosis and surgical treatment of duodenal trauma.Methods A retrospective study was accomplished on the clinical data of 52 patients with duodenal trauma.Results Of 52 patients with duodenal trauma,11 cases were simply anterior wall trauma,41 cases were anterior and posterior wall trauma and 6 cases were complicated with other organs traumatic.All patients were treated by surgery,and 45 cases were cured and 7 cases died.Conclusions Duodenal trauma often betides when patients have suffered road accident or closed impact injury in abodomen.Anterior wall trauma is often complicated with contrecoup of corresponding posterior wall.The diagnosis of posterior wall trauma is easily missed and the leakage of duodenum often happens in the operation.It is critical to check the doubtful cases with careful operations research and select reasonable and appropriate operation types for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of duodenal trauma.

【Objective】 To investigate the prevalence of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) infection among college students, so as to provide reference for the development of blood donor screening strategies and blood supply policies. 【Methods】 From March 2023 to February 2024, blood donor samples from college students in Changchun were retrospectively analyzed using the principle of random numbers, with samples taken 1 to 3 days per month. B19V IgG/IgM were detected by ELISA, and B19V DNA and viral load were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. 【Results】 Among 1 456 blood donor samples from college students, the positive rates for B19V IgG, IgM and DNA were 11.54%, 0.34% and 2.68%, respectively. The viral load in 39 B19V DNA-positive samples ranged from 5.60×10² IU/mL to 9.10×10⁶ IU/mL, with 28 samples (1.92%) having a viral load above 10⁴ IU/mL. There were 11 samples (0.76%) that were positive for B19V DNA but negative for IgG/IgM. 【Conclusion】 The college students have a low prevalence of past B19V infection, but a higher risk of infections and a higer proportion of acute infections with high viral loads in individuals who are]B19V IgG negative, presenting a risk of transmission through blood transfusion. Targeted blood safety monitoring is necessary for college students to track the prevalence of B19V DNA.

With a global rise in morbidity rates， obesity has become a pressing public health issue. With increased adipocyte number and volume as the main characteristics， obesity is also manifested by metabolic disorders to varying degrees. At the same time， obesity is a risk factor for diabetes， hypertension， stroke， cancer， and cardiovascular diseases， imposing burdens on society and families. Influenced by lifestyle， environment， behavior， and genetics， obesity is caused by the interaction of many factors， and its pathological process is complex， involving inflammation， autophagy， and intestinal dysbiosis. The mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） cascade reaction， a pivotal signaling pathway， plays a crucial role in cellular processes such as proliferation， differentiation， apoptosis， and stress responses. Both Chinese and international studies indicate that the MAPK signaling pathway can effectively regulate obesity through various pathways， including the modulation of adipocyte differentiation and apoptosis， appetite control， and inflammation improvement. Moreover， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated significant efficacy in preventing and treating obesity， leveraging advantages such as multiple targets， diverse components， and minimal adverse effects. Research indicates that the MAPK signaling pathway is a primary focus of TCM regulation in this context， although a systematic review in this field is currently lacking. Therefore， this paper， by reviewing the latest Chinese and international research， provided a concise overview of the basic structure of the MAPK pathway， with a specific emphasis on recent progress in TCM interventions targeting the MAPK pathway for obesity treatment. The results indicate that regulating adipose tissue formation， differentiation， and thermogenesis， reducing inflammation and oxidative stress levels， and improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic disorders seem to be the main ways for TCM to regulate the MAPK pathway to prevent and treat obesity. However， it is necessary to find more research methods and explore potential mechanisms underlying TCM formulations based on the MAPK pathway for obesity prevention and treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the causal association of liver function and lipid metabolism levels with sleep disorders based on the Mendelian randomization analysis. MethodsThe analysis was conducted using the data from genome-wide association studies， with the exposure factors of liver function and lipid metabolism levels （alanine aminotransferase ［ALT］， aspartate aminotransferase ［AST］， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase ［GGT］， albumin ［Alb］， serum total protein ［TP］， total bilirubin ［TBil］， alkaline phosphatase ［ALP］， triglyceride ［TG］， triglyceride-to-glycerol-3-phosphate ［TG/G3P］ ratio， total cholesterol ［TC］， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ［HDL-C］， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ［LDL-C］， poly-unsaturated fatty acids ［PUFA］， total fatty acids ［TFA］， PUFA/TFA ratio） and the outcome factor of sleep disorders （nonorganic）. The regression models including inverse variance weighted， MR-Egger， Simple mode， weighted median， and Weighted mode were used to perform the Mendelian randomization analysis. ResultsSerum Alb （odds ratio ［OR］=0.728， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.535 ‍—‍‍ 0.989， P<0.05）， HDL-C （OR=0.879， 95%CI： 0.784 ‍—‍ 0.986， P<0.05）， and PUFA/TFA ratio （OR=0.800， 95%CI： 0.642 — 0.998， P<0.05） were negatively associated with sleep disorders， while TG/G3P ratio （OR=1.222， 95%CI： 1.044 ‍—‍ 1.431， P<0.05） was positively associated with sleep disorders. The results of Mendelian randomization did not show a causal association of ALT， AST， GGT， TP， TBil， ALP， TG， TC， LDL-C， PUFA， and TFA with sleep disorders （all P>0.05）. The results of the MR-Egger intercept test showed no pleiotropy （P>0.05）， and Mendelian randomization was a valid method for causal inference in this study. ConclusionAccording to the results of the Mendelian randomization analysis， liver function and lipid metabolism show significant association with sleep disorders. Liver function and lipid metabolism can be used as indicators for predicting the risk of sleep disorders and performing intervention.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Wutou Chishizhi Wan in regulating autophagy and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β） signaling pathway in rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury （MIRI）. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomly assigned into the normal group （normal saline）， model group （normal saline）， positive control （trimetazidine， 5.4 mg·kg^-1） group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （1.63， 4.9， 14.7 g·kg^-1， respectively） Wutou Chishizhi Wan groups， with 10 rats in each group. The rats in other groups except the normal group underwent left anterior descending coronary artery ligation for modeling. Electrocardiogram was employed to detect the ST-segment elevation to evaluate the modeling. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to reveal the damage of myocardial tissue. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase （AST） and creatine kinase （CK） were determined by colorimetry， and those of cardiac troponin T （cTnT） and myoglobin （MYO） by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was carried out to determine the protein levels of microtubule-associated proteins 1 light chain 3 （LC3）， autophagy-related gene Beclin-1， PI3K， Akt， GSK-3β， p-GSK-3β， and p-Akt. ResultCompared with the normal group， the modeling elevated the serum levels of AST， CK， cTnT， and MYO （P<0.01）， destroyed the arrangement of myocardial cells abd nucle， twisted and broken myocardial fibers， up-regulated the protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin-1 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein levels of PI3K， p-Akt， and p-GSK-3β （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， trimetazidine and Wutou Chishizhi Wan （all the doses） lowered the levels of AST， CK， cTnT， and MYO in serum （P<0.01）， restored the arrangement of myocardial cells and muscle fibers， reduced necrosis， down-regulated the protein level of Beclin-1 （P<0.01）， and up-regulated the protein levels of PI3K， p-Akt， and p-GSK-3β （P<0.01）. Additionally， Wutou Chishizhi Wan （all the doses） down-regulated the protein level of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with those in the trimetazidine group， the serum AST level rose in the low-dose Wutou Chishizhi Wan group （P<0.05） and declined in the high-dose group （P<0.01）， and the protein level of Beclin-1 was down-regulated in the medium-dose group （P<0.01）. Additionally， the trimetazidine group had higher protein level of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ than medium- and high-dose Wutou Chishizhi Wan groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， higher protein level of PI3K than low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （P<0.01）， lower protein level of p-Akt than low- and medium-dose groups （P<0.01）， and higher p-GSK-3β protein level than the medium-dose group （P<0.01）. ConclusionDifferent doses of Wutou Chishizhi Wan can ameliorate MIRI， and the high dose has the best effect. Wutou Chishizhi Wan can reduce the activity of myocardial injury markers AST， CK， cTnT， and MYO， and alleviate the pathological damage of myocardial tissue. It can down-regulate the protein levels of beclin-1， LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ， and up-regulate those of PI3K， p-Akt， and p-GSK-3β. In summary， Wutou Chishizhi Wan may inhibit excessive autophagy and regulate the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway to exert protective effect on MIRI rats.

Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) complex. This disease has not yet been reported in China, and it is therefore essential to establish a rapid and accurate method for detection of the virus in order to prevent and control this disease. In this study, a one-step real-time quantitative RT-PCR method was developed for the detection of the VEEV complex. A pair of specific primers and a Taqman probe were designed corresponding to a conserved region of the VEEV gene nspl, allowing the detection of all known strains of different sub- types of the virus. Using RNA synthesized by in vitro transcription as template, the sensitivity of this method was measured at 3.27 x 10(2) copies/microL. No signal was generated in response to RNA from Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), nor to RNA encoding the nsp1 fragment of Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EE-EV) or Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV), all of which belong to the same genus as VEEV. This indicates that the method has excellent specificity. These results show that this one-step real-time quantitative RT-PCR method may provide an effective tool for the detection of VEEV in China.
