Objective To establish a finite element model of rotator cuff which can be used to simulate the rotator cuff injury and to evaluate the biomechanical effects of rotator cuff surgery.Methods The Dicom CT images of the right shoulder of a Chinese healthy volunteer were used to establish models of the scapula,humerus and clavicle.The rotator cuff structures were separated and modeled based on the MRI images and anatomical knowledge.After the rotator cuff model was introduced into the finite element analysis software Abaqus 6.12,the anatomical positions were simulated when the shoulder was at 30° internal rotation,30° external rotation,30° abduction,30° adduction,30° flexion and 30° extension.Results When the shoulder was in 30° flexion,the average stress was 52.2 kPa on the supraspinatus,223.0 kPa on the inffaspinatus and the teres minor,and 90.4 kPa on the subscapularis.When the shoulder was in 30° extension,the average stress was 105.0 kPa on the supraspinatus,78.2 kPa on the infraspinatus and the teres minor,and 55.7 kPa on the subscapularis,indicating that the muscle and tendon of the supraspinatus was subjected to greater stress and the humerus and the scapula produced less stress compared with the shoulder in 30° flexion.Conclusion Since our finite element model of the rotator cuff can simulate common activities of the shoulder joint and obtain stress values of the corresponding rotator cuff muscles,it can be used in simulation of rotator cuff injury and its surgery.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of HIV-1 molecular transmission network among HIV/AIDS patients in Zhoushan City, Zhejing Province. Methods: The newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Zhoushan City from 2020 to 2022 were selected. Basic information was collected and whole blood samples were obtained at the initial follow-up. The pol gene sequences of HIV-1 were amplified by RT-PCR and nested-PCR. HIV-1 subtypes were identified by Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic trees. The HIV-1 molecular transmission network was built and analyzed using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software. Results: A total of 222 HIV/AIDS cases were reported in Zhoushan City from 2020 to 2022, 200 whole blood samples were collected, and 152 sequences were obtained successfully, including 122 males (80.26%), 75 cases aged 50 years and above (49.34%), 109 cases with a junior high school education or below (71.71%), and 63 cases with commercial heterosexual contact (41.45%). The main subtypes were CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE, accounting for 45.39% and 21.05%, respectively. When the threshold of genetic distance was set to 1%, 20 molecular clusters were formed in 69 cases, with a clustering rate of 45.39%. Using the molecular network constituted by reported HIV/AIDS cases in 2020 as the baseline network, there were 2 active molecular clusters with ≥5 new cases in 2022, each with 9 cases, characterized mainly by individuals aged 50 or above, with a junior high school education or below, and transmission through commercial heterosexual sex. Conclusions The predominant HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS cases in Zhoushan City are CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE. Transmission through commercial heterosexual contact among middle-aged and elderly people is a main mode of HIV transmission.

Objective: To explore the effects of hnRNP E1 and both early genes E2 and E6 of HPV16 as well as their interactions in the progression of cervical carcinogenesis. Methods: Subjects of this study included 56 women with normal cervix (NC), 58 patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CINⅠ) and 50 patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CINⅡ/Ⅲ) who were all recruited from the 'Cervical Lesions Study Cohort Project’ in Jiexiu of Shanxi province from June to September, 2014. Another 40 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were from the Shanxi Tumor Hospital during the same period. Information related to cervical lesions were collected, using a structured questionnaire, with cervical tissues and cervical exfoliated cells gathered from all the participants. HPV infection was detected by flow-through hybridization, while the levels of expression on hnRNP E1, HPV16 E2 and E6 protein were measured by Western Blot. Kruskal-Wallis H test, χ² test, trend χ² test were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 software, while interaction was evaluated by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR). Results: The overall infection rates of HPV16 related to CINⅠ (15.52%, 9/58), CINⅡ/Ⅲ (40.00%, 20/50) and SCC (67.50%, 27/40) groups were all higher than that of the NC group (8.93%, 5/56) and with an increasing trend on the severity of cervical lesions (trend χ²=43.613, P<0.001). The levels of expression on hnRNP E1 protein were significantly different in the groups with different cervical lesions (H=9.98, P=0.019), showing a decreasing trend with the severity of cervical lesions (trend χ²=9.495, P=0.002). The levels of expression on HPV16 E2 (H=16.20, P=0.001) and HPV16 E6 (H=15.44, P=0.001) were significantly different in groups with different cervical lesions. Results of GMDR showed that the best interaction model in both groups of CINⅡ/Ⅲ and SCC appeared as hnRNP E1 low expression, HPV16 E2 low expression and HPV16 E6 high expression. However, no similar interaction was seen in CINⅠ (P>0.05). Conclusions Both low expressions of hnRNP E1 and abnormal expression of HPV16 E2 and E6 could increase the risk of high-grade CIN and cervical cancer. It seemed that they might have an important synergistic effect on the progression of cervical cancer.

Cerebral small vessel disease is the common clinical,imaging and pathological syndrome that contribute to the onset and progression of cognitive impairment,and it also plays a crucial role on stroke,dementia,brain aging,and neurodegenerative disease.Cerebral small vessel disease can be detected and diagnosed using structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).The main imaging features of various cerebral small vessel disease include small subcortical infarcts,lacunes of presumed vascular origin,white matter hyperintensities,enlarged perivascular spaces,cerebral microbleeds,and global and regional brain atrophy.Other emerging imaging features are detectable at very high field strength MRI include microinfarcts.Cerebral small vessel disease used to be considered clinically silent.However,in the past decades or so,numerous studies have investigated the association between various imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive dysfunction (e.g.vascular cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease).The results have shown that these neuroimaging markers are associated with cognitive dysfunction,and can be used to predict the risk of dementia and the progression of cognitive impairment.This review article seeks to summarize neuroimaging studies that examine the associations between various markers of cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment.

Objective: To investigate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 early genes E2 and E6 and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) E2 and their interaction effects in the progression of the cervical cancer. Methods: Women with normal cervix (NC), low cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN Ⅰ) and high cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ) from the cervical lesions cohort in Jiexiu County of Shanxi Province from June 2014 to September 2014, and patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University in the same period were enrolled in this study. There were 257 participants, about 67 NC cases (26.07%), 69 CIN Ⅰ cases (26.85%), 68 CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ cases (26.46%), and 53 SCC cases (20.62%), respectively. The information of demographic characteristics, life health habits and cervical lesions were collected by using the structured questionnaire. Cervical exfoliated cells and cervical biopsy tissues were collected to detect the infection of HPV16 and the protein expression levels of hnRNP E2, HPV16 E2 and E6. According to the median-value of the protein expression levels of hnRNP E2, HPV16 E2 and E6 and E2/E6 ratio in the NC group, the study participants were divided into the high and low expression groups/ratio groups. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlation between HPV16 early gene E2 and E6, hnRNP E2 and cervical cancer. The interaction effect was analyzed by using the generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) model. Results: The ages of NC, CIN Ⅰ, CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and SCC groups were (47.00±9.07), (47.64±7.35), (46.37±8.67) and (51.26±8.03) years old, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that the HPV16 E2 low expression, E6 high expression and E2/E6 low ratio could increase the risk of CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ, about OR (95%CI) values 11.11 (1.63-75.56), 8.00 (1.28-50.04), and 9.75 (1.22-77.72), respectively and SCC, about OR (95%CI) values 14.22 (2.11-95.88), 10.33 (1.67-64.00), and 12.38 (1.56-97.91), respectively. The hnRNP E2 low expression could increase the risk of CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and SCC, about OR (95%CI) values 3.35 (1.39-8.10) and 5.53 (1.54-19.88). The result of GMDR showed that there were interaction effects of the hnRNP E2 low expression, HPV16 E2 low expression and HPV16 E6 high expression in both CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and SCC groups. Conclusion The HPV16 E2 low expression, HPV16 E6 high expression and hnRNP E2 low expression could increase the risk of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer, and they might have an important interaction effect in the progression of the cervical cancer.

BACKGROUND:Patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis often suffer from changed varicosity of the cervical spine,unbalanced neck-shoulder muscular strength,and descending power. OBJECTIVE:To probe into the correlation between sagittal curvature parameters and pain threshold for neck-shoulder muscles in degenerative cervical spondylosis. METHODS:Totally 50 patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis received treatment at the 3D Printed Outpatient Center of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2022 to March 2023 were included in the study.After excluding the 10 patients of cervical lateral projection that failed to meet the measurement conditions,the cervical lateral projections were shot to measure the following iconography parameters:Borden value and C2-7 Cobb angle as well as pain thresholds on the midpoint of the superior trapezius muscle in bilateral bundles and at 1 cm beside the C5-6 interspike.The correlation between sagittal curvature parameters and pain threshold of neck-shoulder muscles in degenerative cervical spondylosis was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The Borden value of sagittal curvature showed a moderately positive correlation with the bundle pain threshold in the left upper trapezius muscle,the bundle pain threshold in the right upper trapezius muscle,and the pain threshold at the 1 cm of the left side beside the C5-6 interspike(r=0.498,P<0.01;r=0.448,P<0.05;r=0.405,P<0.05)and a weak positive correlation with the pain threshold at the 1 cm of the right side beside the C5-6 interspike(r=0.322,P<0.05).(2)The C2-7 Cobb angle showed a weak positive correlation with the left squared myalgia threshold(r=0.355,P<0.05),and there was no correlation with the pain threshold of the left trapezius muscle and the pain threshold at the 1 cm of both sides beside the C5-6 interspike.(3)There was a correlation between the pain threshold of the neck-shoulder muscles,and a high correlation between the pain threshold of the left and right muscles and the pain threshold within the left and right side muscles,indicating that the neck-shoulder muscles are consistent and may be related to the coordination of the neck-shoulder movements.
