Comparative medicine is a new crossing frontier branch subject based on laboratory animal science,and the content,aim and request of its research have been remarkably different from that of laboratory animal science.Acting as the methods,means and support conditions of advancment and development of medicine research,comparative medicine is an important platform ensuring the sustainable development of medicine,and is imperative for the medico to be educated with systemic comparative medicine.

Objective To analyze the Cyt b gene sequences in Tibet mini-pigs and clarify the differences and genetic relationship with other Chinese pigs.Method The sequence of Cyt b gene was amplified from genome DNA of Tibet mini-pig,Bama miniature pigs,Guizhou xiang pigs and Wuzhishan (WZS) pigs.After sequencing,the base sequences were compared and analysed.The blood relationship tree and evolution position of Tibet mini-pig were established.Result There were 14 mutation sites between domestic pigs in China and pigs from Europe.Besides there was a significant differenee in two nucleotide site:a T→C switch in site 420 and the G→A switch in site 883 at the same time.Conclusion Chinese pigs include Bama miniature pigs,Guizhou xiang pigs and WZS pigs,have a very close blood relationship with some of Tibet mini-pigs.It has been confirmed that there is a certain genetic differentiation in the Tibet mini-pig.

Objective To examine the advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS) and discuss the relationship between oxidative stress with the development of atherosclero-sis(AS). Methods Plasma were collected in 59 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients including 35 patients underwent selective PCI,24 patients underwent emergency PCI,43 unstable angina pectoris(UA) patients and 10 non-coronary artery disease (non-CAD) patients. All cases underwent coronary angiography (CAG). Plasma was collected immediately,post-24 hours and post-48 hours after admission. AOPP was determined by measurements of absorbance (A) at 340 nm under acidic conditions via spectrophotometry. Results AOPP was (236.42±30.41) ( n = 35 ), ( 207.84±29.50 ) mmol/L ( n = 35 ), ( 227.79 ± 35.18 ) mmol/L ( n = 31 ) respectively immediately, post-24 hours and post-48 hours after admission in AMI ( selective PCI ), ( 239.95 ±39.94 ) mmol/L ( n = 43 ), (175.92 ±29.46) mmol/L(n =38) ,and (156.54 ±28.29) mmol/L(n =35) in UA group and (57.41 ± 13.60) mmol/L( n = 9 ), (56.11 + 11.90) mmol/L ( n = 10 ) and ( 61.75 ± 12.28 ) mmol/L ( n = 8 ) in non-CAD group. Compared with normal group ( without CAD ) , significantly higher plasma AOPP was detected in AMI ( selective PCI) and UA patients ( P < 0.05 ). AOPP level was significantly increased in AMI selective PCI patients as compared with that of emergency PCI group immediately and post-24 hours after admission( P <0.01 ) ,and post-48 hours after admission( P < 0.05 ), but there was no statistical significance between emergency PCI and UA group( P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Oxidative stress is an important step in the development of atherosclerosis, and the higher levels of AOPP in ACS patients show that AOPP may be as good markers in these patients.

Objective To analyze the investigation data of the national schistosomiasis surveillance sites in 2015,so as to provide scientific evidences for schistosomiasis control,elimination and surveillance. Methods According to National Schisto-somiasis Surveillance Programme(version 2014),457 surveillance sites were selected,and the investigation data in residents, floating population,domestic animals and Oncomelania hupensis snails were collected and analyzed from four types of endemic counties. Results A total of 4468 seropositive cases were detected from 133350 residents,among which 4457 residents with seropositive results received the etiological tests,and 71 of them were identified with positive results. Most of them were fisher-men and farmers in the middle and old-aged group. The schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.05% in local population. Totally 977 seropositive cases were examined from 85047 migrant individuals,and 16 positive cases were found out from 966 individuals who took etiological tests,which showed the schistosomiasis infection rate was 0.02% in floating population. Imported cases were found among floating people in four provinces,namely Zhejiang,Hunan,Hubei and Anhui provinces. No acute schistoso-miasis cases were reported. A total of 13406 head of cattle received examinations and only 5 were determined as stool positives. The cattle infection rate was 0.04%. The snail survey covered an area of 22295.13 hm2 and snails were found in an area of 7426.63 hm2,including 3.47 hm2 newly detected area with snails. No schistosome-infected snails were found. Conclusions Based on the collected data from 457 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites of China,the Schistosoma japonicum infection rate is 0.05% in local population which maintains a stably descending trend. In floating population,there are imported schistosome-in-fected persons. Cattle are still a vulnerable species infected with schistosome. Although no infected snails are found,snails are widely distributed in endemic areas. Some provinces detect areas with snails for the first time or the reproduction of snails. The staff in endemic provinces should carry out the surveillance work according to National Schistosomiasis Surveillance Programme (version2014)to improve the surveillance system,and enhance the sensibility and effectiveness of surveillance work.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of MRE and DWI in staging hepatic fibrosis in pa-tients with CHB. Methods In this retrospective analysis ,we investigated 93 patients with CBH and live fibrosis. Ninety-three patients were grouped according to their pathological grading of fibrosis ,from S0 to S4. Sixteen healthy patients were enrolled as the control group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correla-tion between the stiffness and ADC value and their staging fibrosis. ROC analysis was conducted to compare the per-formance of the stiffness and ADC value in staging hepatic fibrosis. Results Both liver stiffness value(r=0.962, P<0.01)and ADC value(r=-0.823,P<0.01)were highly correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis. The area un-der ROC(AUC)for the detection of≥S1≥S2/≥S3/S4 stage fibrosis with the stiffness and ADC value were 0.963/0.868、0.995/0.947、0.998/0.948、0.996/0.889 respectively ,with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05 , resectively). Conclusions MRE and DWI have higher value ,and MRE is more accurate than DWI for staging hepatic fibrosis in patients with CHB.

Objective:To study the morphology of hemophagocytosis (HPC) in bone marrow smears of patients with infection-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (IAHLH), and further analyse if there were differences in the clinical and laboratory features, the cytokines level and prognosisMethods:24 patients newly diagnosed with IAHLH from 2016-Dec-1 to 2021-Dec-31 in Beijing Friendship Hospital were included as study group, and 20 patients with infectious disease as non-HLH control group. In IAHLH group, mean age was 34±13 years, including 17(71%) males and7(29%) females. In Non-HLH group, mean agewas 43±16 years, including 14 (70%) males and6 (30%) females. Depending on re-checking phagocytic cell type on the initial bone marrow smear, the HPCs were divided into HPC-1, phagocytizing non-nucleated cells (mature erythrocyte or platelets), and HPC-2, phagocytizing nucleated cells. The differences in clinical presentations covered in HLH-2004 criteria, cytokines value(IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, IFN-γ) recommended in HLH-2022-China guideline, and the mortality within 1 year of diagnosis, were compared between IAHLH and non-HLH groups, between patients with or without HPC, and between patients with HPC-2 or only with HPC-1. For categorical variables, two groups were compared with the use of either the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. For non-normal distribution continuous variables, the difference between two groups variation was performed by using Mann-Whitney U test, and for normal distribution continuous variables, the difference was by the Independent Samples t-test.Results:The positive rates of fever, hepatomegaly and splenomegalyand the motrtality in IAHLH were 100% (24/24), 63% (15/24), 92% (22/24) and 46% (11/24), respectivelyin non-HLH were 55%(11/20),0(0/20),25% (5/20),0(0/20),and the differences between two groups were all statistically significant( P<0.01), but thedifferences between groups with and without HPC and between IAHLH patients with HPC-2 or only with HPC-1 were no statistically significanlly, ( P>0.05).In IAHLH group, IFN-γ in patients with HPC-2 was 400(246, 532)ng/L, significantly higher than 146(38, 180)ng/L in patients only with HPC-1 [ P=0.02, 95% CI was 233(75.8 to 397)], andthe other test parameters and cytokines level showed no obvious differences ( P>0.05).

Objective:To explore the clinical outcomes of top-quality blastocysts transfer developed from cleavage embryos with different grading and determine whether the cleavage stage embryo morphology grading should be taken into consideration when transferring the embryo at the blastocyst stage.Methods:A number of 3 059 cycles were included with single top-quality blastocyst transfer dating from January 2017 to May 2021 in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital. According to the number of cleavage sphere and degree of fragmentation, all cleavage stage embryos were divided into three groups: top D3 embryo (8 cells, ≤5% fragments)-TB group, suboptimal D3 embryo (8 cells, 5%0.05); and the early abortion rate were 10.74%, 12.54% and 12.62%, respectively ( P>0.05). After adjusting for confounders, logistic regression showed that no significant associations were found between cleavage stage embryo morphology grading and clinical pregnancy rate (suboptimal D3 embryo-TB group: OR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.76-1.38, P=0.879; normal D3 embryo-TB group: OR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.61-1.14, P=0.262) and early abortion rate (suboptimal D3 embryo-TB group: OR=1.18, 95% CI: 0.77-1.82, P=0.445; normal D3 embryo-TB group: OR=1.26, 95% CI: 0.81-1.98, P=0.309). The results of threshold effect analysis showed that when a single top-quality blastocysts was transferred, the effect of age on the clinical pregnancy rate showed a curve relationship, when the age was≥33 years old, the clinical pregnancy rate decreased significantly with age increased ( OR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.83-0.95, P=0.007); and there was no significant change in early abortion rate ( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.97-1.06, P=0.628). Conclusions:Cleavage stage embryo grading is not found to correlate with clinical outcomes in single top-quality blastcyst tranfer. Therefore, when considering blastocyst transfer, its morphology at blastocyst stage is more relevant. The effect of age on pregnancy outcomes of single blastocyst transfer should be considered.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the intervention effect of cognitively engaging physical activity (CEPA) on executive function of children and adolescents. MethodsLiteratures in Chinese and English were retrieved from databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, EBSCO and CNKI, from the establishment to November 30th, 2023. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literatures that met the requirements were screened, and their quality was evaluated and systematically reviewed. ResultsA total of 15 literatures were included, published between 2014 and 2023, from eight countries, involving 1 806 subjects aged four to 16 years. The average score of PEDro scale was 6.6. The intensity of the CEPA intervention ranged from 64% to 93% HR_max, the duration of a single session ranged from ten to 60 minutes, and the frequency of the intervention was two to five sessions a week, for four to 24 weeks. Specific forms of CEPA included football, basketball and floorball combined with cognitive tasks; running, jumping, squatting, sitting, spinning and balancing combined with cognitive tasks; and exergaming combined with cognitive tasks. Eleven researches showed positive effects of CEPA intervention on at least one component of executive function. However, six of the seven researches involving working memory failed to verify the positive effects. Twelve researches compared the intervention effects of CEPA and rutine exercise or regular physical education classes, and nine researches found that CEPA was more effective on executive function. ConclusionThe CEPA is effective on the executive function of children and adolescents, specifically on cognitive flexibility; it shows inconsistent effects on inhibitory control, and its effect on working memory has not been verified. The intervention types of CEPA are divided into ball games combined with cognitive tasks, basic motor skills training combined with cognitive tasks, and exergaming combined with cognitive tasks.
