ObjectiveThe biosynthesis of heterophyllin B （HB）， a cyclopeptide from Pseudostellaria heterophylla， is regulated by various abiotic stresses. Elucidating the transcriptional regulatory mechanism underlying HB biosynthesis is of great guiding significance for the directional improvement of P. heterophylla varieties and the enhancement of HB content. MethodsBased on transcriptome data from different tissues of P. heterophylla， transcription factors （TFs） specifically upregulated and highly expressed in the phloem of tuberous roots were screened through a combination of Mfuzz time-series clustering， transcription factor family prediction， and correlation analysis. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was employed to analyze expression patterns of candidate TFs under abscisic acid （ABA） induction， and the dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to verify their regulatory effects on HB precursor genes. ResultsContent determination showed that HB accumulated at the highest in the phloem of P. heterophylla tuberous roots （34 μg·g^-1 fresh weight）. Transcriptome analysis identified 15 868 up-regulated differentially expressed genes （DEGs）， among which 4 375 were specifically up-regulated in the phloem. From these， 25 TFs highly expressed in the phloem were screened. Correlation analysis revealed that the expression level of WRKY70 was significantly positively correlated with HB content， the expression of precursor genes prePhHB， and PhPOP1. Additionally， WRKY70 expression was significantly upregulated under ABA induction. Dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that WRKY70 specifically activated the transcriptional activity of the prePhHB promoter （Pro-prePhHB）. ConclusionHB is mainly accumulated in the phloem of P. heterophylla tuberous roots. WRKY70 positively regulates HB biosynthesis by directly activating the promoter activity of prePhHB. This study clarifies the key role of WRKY70 in the regulation of HB biosynthesis and provides an important theoretical basis for the in-depth analysis of the molecular regulatory mechanism underlying HB biosynthesis.

Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

RNA binding motif protein 8A(RBM8A)is an RNA binding protein,which is mainly in-volved in translation and cell cycle regulation.In addition,RBM8A is a core factor of the exon-junc-tion complex(EJC),which is highly expressed in cells,especially in cancer cells,and abnormally expressed in cytoplasm and nucleus.Studies have shown that RBM8A plays a key regulatory role in the replication process of some viruses,such as Flaviviridae viruses.Therefore,whether RBM8A is involved in the replication of pseudorabies virus(PRV)is unknown.Therefore,this study proved whether RBM8A is involved in the replication of PRV.In order to study the effect of RBM8A pro-tein on PRV replication,the eukaryotic expression plasmid pCAGGS-HA-RBM8A was designed and constructed to express RBM8A,and sh-RBM8A was simultaneously designed and constructed to overexpress and inhibit RBM8A.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the effect of RBM8A on PRV replication.At the same time,PRV-GB standard plasmid was constructed to make PRV proliferation standard curve.After overexpression and inhibition of RBM8A,DNA was ex-tracted.Virus copy number was calculated by qRT-PCR to further detect the effect of RBM8A on PRV replication.The results showed that overexpression of RBM8A inhibited PRV replication and decreased the copy number of the virus,while overexpression of shRBM8A promoted PRV replication and increased the copy number of the virus.This study shows that RBM8A can inhibit PRV replication,which provides reference for the functional study of RBM8A and lays a founda-tion for the mechanism of anti-PRV replication.

Objective:To evaluate three-dimensional visualization technology (3D technic) used in laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic benign or low-grade malignant tumors.Methods:Data of 28 patients with laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy at Beijing Hospital from Aug 2016 to Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 12 patients assigned in 3D attempt compared to 16 patients undergoing ordinary laparoscopy. In 3D group, all 12 patients underwent successful spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy. While in control group only 5 cases were successful in spleen preserving procedure, the remaining 11 cases failed in spleen preserving ending up in distal pancreatectomy combined with splenectomy. The spleen preserving pancreatectomy rate in 3D group was higher than control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time (202±53.8) min vs. (186.8±48.3) min, intraoperative blood loss (107.5±141.2) mL vs. (160.6±184.4) ml and the incidence of pancreatic leakage between the two groups ( P>0.05). Nor there was difference in the average postoperative hospital stay between the two groups [(9.6±2.5) d vs. (19.1±40.6) d] ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Three dimensional visualization technology can improve the success rate and safety of laparoscopic spleen preserving distal pancreatectomy in cases of benign and low-grade malignant distal pancreatic tumors.

Objective:To evaluate the perioperative safety of pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD)in elderly patients.Methods:Clinical data of 152 patients undergoing PD in Beijing Hospital between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the age, patients were divided into the elderly group(age≥65 years)and the non-elderly group(age<65 years). The perioperative and postoperative parameters were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the operative time, intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative urine output between the elderly group and the non-elderly group(352.7±69.5)min vs.(359.0±94.4)min, (708.7±672.7) vs.(662.6±896.7)ml and(875.8±497.3)ml vs.(1010.6±568.2)ml, all P>0.05). The perioperative mortality, postoperative complications(Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ grade Ⅲ)and reoperation rate had no significant difference between elderly group and the non-elderly group(6.1% vs.1.2%, 21.2% vs.19.8%, 10.6% vs.8.1%, respectively, χ2=1.487, 0.048 and 0.272, all P>0.05). The incidences of operation-related complications, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular adverse events in elderly group were comparable to non-elderly group( P>0.05). The postoperative hospital stay had no significant difference between the elderly group and the non-elderly group[(28±19)d vs.(27±18)d, P>0.05]. Conclusions:PD is safe in elderly patients.Age is not a contraindication to pancreaticoduodenectomy.The comprehensive systemic evaluation, intraoperative delicate operation and enhanced perioperative management are necessary in the elderly patients undergoing PD.
