This study was aimed at evaluating the characteristics of H9N2 subtype avian influenza viruses(AIVs)origina-ting from wild birds in major wetlands in Fujian.Five H9N2 subtype AIVs isolated from fecal samples from wild birds in wet-lands of the Minjiang River,Jiulong River,Sandu Bay,Xinghua Bay,and Quanzhou Bay in Fujian were sequenced.Sequence a-nalysis of the HA genes of the five H9N2 subtype AIVs indicated that the five isolates shared 89.8%-99.4%nucleotide se-quence identity.All five isolates belonged to the same h9.4.2.5c evolutionary branch.The cleavage site motifs of HA were all PSRSSR ↓ GLF,thus indicating molecular characteristics of AIVs with low pathogenicity.The HA proteins of the viruses orig-inating from wild birds bore eight identical potential glycosylation sites,among which the glycosylation site at position 313 was located near the HA protein cleavage site.The 226th amino acid of HA in the receptor binding site was leucine in each virus,thus indicating that HAs of the five H9N2 subtype AIVs had mammalian sialic acid α-2,6 receptor binding affinity.In conclu-sion,the five H9N2 subtype AIVs originating from wild birds in Fujian had low pathogenicity,and the HAs had mammalian sialic acid α-2,6 receptor binding affinity.

A microchannel-based electrochemiluminescence(ECL)sensor was developed for detection of tetracycline(TC)utilizing luminol/H2O2 as ECL reporting system.The low excitation potential of luminol/H2O2 effectively mitigated the impact of clamping voltage,thereby enhancing the detection performance of the microchannel-based ECL sensor.The microchannel modified with TC aptamer selectively recognized and captured target TC.The positively charged TC reduced the surface charge density within the microchannel,thereby increasing the ionic current in the microchannel,leading to change of ECL signal of system.The experimental conditions such as electrolyte concentration,TC-aptamer concentration,and reaction time between TC and TC-aptamer were optimized.Under optimal conditions,the difference of ECL signal in the absence and presence of TC(?ECL)exhibited a good linear relationship with TC concentration in the range from 1.00 ng/mL to 200 ng/mL,with a detection limit as low as 0.69 ng/mL.The sensor had good selectivity and was successfully used in detection of TC in milk samples.

In this study, araucarene diterpenes, characterized by a pimarene skeleton with a variably oxidized side chain at C-13, were investigated. A total of 16 araucarene diterpenoids and their derivatives were isolated from the woods of Agathis dammara, including 11 previously unreported compounds: dammaradione (1), dammarones D-G (2, 5, 14, 15), dammaric acids B-F (8-12), and dammarol (16). The structures of these new compounds were elucidated using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HR-ESI-MS) and one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), while their absolute configurations were determined through the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method and Snatzke's method. The hypoglycemic activity of all isolated compounds was evaluated using a transgenic zebrafish model, and a structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted. Araucarone (3) and dammaric acid C (9), serving as representative compounds, demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effects on zebrafish. The primary mechanism involves the promotion of pancreatic β cell regeneration and glucose uptake. Specifically, these compounds enhance the differentiation of pancreatic endocrine precursor cells (PEP cells) into β cells in zebrafish.

Objective To evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS)without chest tube placement for infants with congenital pulmonary airway malformation(CPAM).Methods Clinical data of 145 infants with CPAM treated by VATS from May 2019 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Six cases had a chest tube placement at the end of the surgery,while 139 cases did not.Among them,there were 99 segmental lobectomies,36 lobectomies,and 4 lobectomies and segmental lobectomies.Clinical efficacy and postoperative complications were observed.Results All the 145 patients underwent resection by VATS without conversion to thoracotomy.There was no mortality during the perioperative period.In the 139 cases without chest tube placement at the end of surgery,the operation time was(42.0±16.6)min,and the intraoperative blood loss was(2.7±2.0)ml.The were 6 cases who were given indwelling drainage tube for pneumothorax or pleural effusion after surgery,the rate of re-catheterization being 4.3%.The remaining 133 cases had chest X-ray review on the third day after routine surgery.Among them,8 cases had mild pneumothorax(lung compression<20%)on the surgical side,which did not require further treatment.Before discharge,chest X-ray re-examination showed that pneumothorax was basically absorbed.All the patients were discharged with uneventful recovery,and the hospital stay was(6.6±1.3)d.Conclusion VATS without chest tube placement is a safe and feasible surgical procedure for some selective infants with congenital pulmonary airway malformation.

Objective:This study aims to compare the therapeutic effect and safety between tolvaptan and furosemide in treatment of acute left heart failure complicated with hyponatremia.Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 95 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure complicated with hyponatremia admitted Putian First Hospital between July 2018 and September 2022.They were divided into furosemide group(n=49,routine fu-rosemide intravenous injection)and tolvaptan group(n=46,tolvaptan p.o.).After 7d treatment,clinical thera-peutic effect,cardiac function,electrolyte,serum creatinine(SCr)and incidence of adverse drug reactions were compared between two groups.Results:After 7d treatment,patients in two groups had significant lower level of N terminal pro natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),and significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and blood sodium level(P<0.05 or<0.01).Compared with patients in furosemide group,those in tolvaptan group had significant lower SCr level[125.00(107.50,164.00)μmol/L vs.113.00(85.00,130.50)μmol/L],and significant higher blood potassium level[3.60(3.20.4.20)μmol/L vs.3.90(3.60,4.60)μmol/L](P<0.05 or<0.01).There were no significant difference in therapeutic effect,cardiac function and incidence of adverse drug reactions between two groups after treatment(P>0.05 all).Conclusion:Tolvaptan p.o.is safe and effective in treatment of acute heart failure,and its effect is not inferior to intravenous injection of furosemide,especially for those with hyponatremia,which could be applied for short-term treatment of acute heart failure.
