Objective To explore the association among viral load,CD4 count and neutralizing ac-tivity of plasma from chronic HIV-1 infected former blood donors in Anhui province, China. Methods 294 chronically HIV-1 B' infected individuals from former blood donors in Anhni province were enrolled, whose plasma and peripheral blood mononuelnar cells (PBMC) were isolated. The viral load and CD4 were detec-ted, and the neutralization activity of plasma against primary virus (1597) and lab-adapted strain (SF33) was detected by Luciferase Assay System based on TZM cell line, and 50% neutralizing level was calculated by the Reed-Mueneh method. Results Neutralizing activity responding against SF33 strain was higher than 1597 (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between neutralizing concentration of plasma against SF33 and viral load (1g) (r = 0.191, P = 0.001), but there was no correlation between neutralizing concen-tration of plasma against 1597 and viral load(lg) (r = 0.097, P = 0.096). Conchtsion In chronic HIV-1 infectious people, neutralizing level against SF33 increases with viral replication, however, there is no asso-ciation of plasma neutralizing against 1597 replication with viral load.

Objective:
To explore the feasibility of remotely obtaining complex information on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pulse conditions through voice signals.
Methods:
We used multi-label pulse conditions as the entry point and modeled and analyzed TCM pulse diagnosis by combining voice analysis and machine learning. Audio features were extracted from voice recordings in the TCM pulse condition dataset. The obtained features were combined with information from tongue and facial diagnoses. A multi-label pulse condition voice classification DNN model was built using 10-fold cross-validation, and the modeling methods were validated using publicly available datasets.
Results:
The analysis showed that the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 92.59% on the public dataset. The accuracies of the three single-label pulse manifestation models in the test set were 94.27%, 96.35%, and 95.39%. The absolute accuracy of the multi-label model was 92.74%.
Conclusion
Voice data analysis may serve as a remote adjunct to the TCM diagnostic method for pulse condition assessment.

Objective To observe the effects of free-posture parturition on the parturition outcomes and pelvic floor function of puerperae. Methods Totally 270 pregnant women who met the requirements were divided into an observation group (n=135) and a control group (n=135) by the prospective randomized controlled clinic trail. Pregnant women in the observation group adopted free-posture parturition, while pregnant women in the control group delivered in the frequently used supine position. The pregnant women in both groups were managed according to the existing labor standards, and the effects of free-posture parturition on their parturition outcomes and pelvic floor function were observed. Results Totally 133 pregnant women in the observation group delivered naturally and 2 transferred to cesarean parturition in the process, while 102 pregnant women in the control group delivered naturally and 33 transferred to cesarean parturition in the process (χ2=31.55, P<0.001). The uniparae in the observation group spent less time in the first and second stages of labor as well as the whole parturition than the uniparea in the control group (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of labor stage between the multiparae in the two groups (P> 0.05). The uniparae in the observation group were less likely to show reduced typeⅠand typeⅡ muscle fiber strength than the uniparae in the control group (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of reduced typeⅠand type Ⅱ muscle fiber strength between the multiparae in the two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of urinary incontinence between the puerparae in the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The use of free-posture parturition can reduce the possibility of cesarean parturition substantially. The duration of labor stage in uniparae can be shortened significantly, and their pelvic floor muscle strength is better than that of the puerparea in the control group. Free-posture parturition does not contribute to negative outcomes of maternals and fetals.

Objective:To investigate the impact of small extracellular vesicles(sEVs) derived from perirenal adipose cells on the biological behavior of renal tubular epithelial cells under diabetic conditions and the underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods:Primary perirenal adipose cells were extracted from db/m and db/db mice for in vitro culture. The culture supernatant was collected and sEVs(NDM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo, DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo) were extracted by ultracentrifugation. The sEVs were incubated with human renal tubular epithelial cell line(HK-2) to observe changes in their proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) levels. The protein composition of sEVs was analyzed using mass spectrometry to explore the molecular mechanisms. Results:CCK8 results showed that the proliferation level of HK-2 cells after DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention did not change significantly compared with the two control groups(Ctrl group and NDM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention group). Western Blot(WB) results indicated that there were no significant changes in apoptosis levels(Bcl-2, Cleaved-caspase 3, Caspase 3) and autophagy levels(p62, LC3BⅠ, LC3BⅡ) in the DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention group compared with the two control groups. WB and immunofluorescence results demonstrated that DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention upregulated the expression levels of mesenchymal cell marker proteins(Vimentin, α-SMA, Snail2) and downregulated the expression level of epithelial cell marker protein ZO-1 in HK-2 cells compared with the two control groups. Mass spectrometry analysis of sEVs revealed that the differential proteins between DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo and NDM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo were enriched in EMT-related pathways. Among them, the enrichment of thrombospondin(THBS1) in DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo might be involved in the regulation of EMT in HK-2 cells. Conclusion:Under diabetic conditions, sEVs secreted by PRAT-derived adipocytes promote the upregulation of EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells, a process that may be mediated by the enrichment of THBS1 in sEVs.
