Objective:To analyze the evolutionary characteristics of the approximate whole genome of rotavirus G2P[4] type 2020BJ strain.Methods:The rotavirus genome was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the amplified products were sequenced, and the sequences were subjected to phylogenetic analysis and homology analysis.Results:The approximate full-length 11 segments of human rotavirus G2P[4] type 2020BJ strain were obtained. Sequence analysis showed that the strain was G2-P[4]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A2-N2-T2-E2-H2 genotype (DS-1-Like); evolutionary analysis shows that it is closely related to strains in Japan, India, Bangladesh, Italy and other countries; there are differences in the amino acids of antigenic epitopes between the closely related strains.Conclusions:There are differences in the amino acids of the epitopes of VP7 and VP4 of the five G2P[4] rotavirus strains that are closely related to 2020BJ, which may lead to different epidemic characteristics, and rotavirus surveillance should be strengthened.

Objective:
To summarize the clinical manifestation and treatment of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc ossification, providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disc ossification.
Methods:
From January 2006 to January 2018, 4 patients with TMJ disc ossification (2 males and 2 females, aged 20-55 years with an average age of 35.5 years) which were admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shenzhen Second People′s Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Ossification of TMJ disc was found in 4 cases during TMJ surgery. Two cases underwent partial ossification resection plus disc reduction and anchorage, and two cases underwent discectomy plus temporalis myofascial flap replacement. The causes, clinical manifestations and surgical effects of TMJ disc ossification were analyzed by comparing the maximal interincisal opening, visual analogue scale (VAS) score and MRI imaging indexes before and after operation.
Results:
The history of anterior disc displacement of TMJ in 4 patients was long (average 11.5 years). In clinic, TMJ disc ossification was characterized by TMJ pain and limitation of mouth opening. The maximal interincisal opening was (32.1±6.1) mm and the VAS score was (7.3±0.4) before operation. MRI showed that the displaced discs of the affected sides were displaced and the condyle bones were worn. During the operation, ossification of TMJ discs was found yellow and hard, and the original elasticity was lost. Pathologic findings showed that the TMJ disc cartilage were ossified to osteoid tissue. Under the microscope, bone cells scattered around the bone cells and red trabecular bone were seen, and there were bone trabecula formed. In a follow-up of one year, TMJ pain was significantly decreased [VAS: (1.7±0.2)], and the maximal interincisal opening was (38.5±2.2) mm. MRI showed that the TMJ disc returned to normal position, and the sign of repairing and reconstruction of condyle bone could be found.
Conclusions
Long term displacement of TMJ disc may cause ossification with pain and limitation of interincisal opening. According to the degree and extent of ossification, partial ossification plus disc reduction and anchorage or discectomy plus temporalis myofascial flap replacement is feasible, and the clinical effects are satisfactory.

Objective:To study the inactivation effects of microwave on human adenovirus 2 (HAdV-2) in simulated infectied wastes, and to explore its molecular mechanism.Methods:25 μl of HAdV-2 virus suspension was dripped with medical disposable gloves, masks and cotton swabs to simulate infectied wastes, and irradiated under different microwave conditions: gloves and masks were irradiated for 30 s, 60 s, and 90 s at 300 W, 500 W, and 700 W, respectively. Cotton swabs irradiate 60 s, 90 s, 120 s at 500 W and 700 W respectively. Temperature changes were recorded, and the inactivation logarithmic values were calculated by the 50% endpoint method to evaluate the microwave inactivation effects, and the proliferation ability of the virus was detected by qPCR. The damage of Penton, Fiber, Hexon and E2 B genes was detected by PCR. The virus was treated with the highest temperature of 76 ℃ during microwave irradiation to study whether there was non-thermal effect during microwave disinfection. Results:After microwave irradiation of infectied waste, the temperature of masks and gloves carriers rises rapidly, with the highest temperature of 76 ℃. The temperature of the cotton swab carriers rose slowly, and the highest temperature is 65 ℃. The inactivation effect of microwave on HAdV-2 was positively correlated with microwave power and irradiation time. In the mask and glove group, microwave power of 700 W irradiated for 60 seconds, and the inactivation logarithm value could reach 3.0, In the cotton swab group, microwave power of 700 W irradiated for 120 seconds, and the inactivation logarithm value was still less than 3.0. This indicated that there were differences in the conditions for microwave inactivation of the virus in different carriers. The qPCR result showed that microwave irradiation could weak the proliferation ability of the virus. Microwave irradiation had no effect on the virus's Penton and Fiber genes, but caused some damage to the Hexon and E2 B genes. The inactivation effect of individual heat treatment on HAdV-2 was weaker than that of microwave irradiation, and there was no damage to the Hexon, Penton, Fiber, and E2 B genes. This indicated the presence of non thermal effects during the microwave inactivation process. Conclusions:Microwave irradiation can inactivate HAdV-2 in simulated infectied wastes through thermal and non-thermal effects, and its damage to viral DNA is one of the mechanisms of virus inactivation.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and related to risk factors of late-life depression patients with venous thromboembolism in the elderly ward.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 143 hospitalized depression patients(aged≥60 years)including 65 depression patients with VTE(VTE group)and 78 depression patients without VTE(control group)in the elderly ward of Beijing Anding Hospital from January 2023 to September 2023.The clinic and laboratory data was collected such as general demographic information,relevant clinical data,VTE history,personal history,thyroid function,hormone levels,blood lipid levels and D-dimer to analyze and compare the clinical characteristics of two group patients,and Logistic regression was used to analyze the related risk factors of VTE in patients with depression.Results Compared with control group,patients in the VTE group were older[(70.94±5.88)years vs.(68.04±4.92)years,P<0.05],had a higher total HAMD score(26.35±9.28 vs.23.19±5.94,P<0.05),a higher proportion of a history of VTE[13 cases(20.0%)vs.6 cases(7.7%),P<0.05],a higher proportion of bedridden for more than 72 hours[42 cases(64.6%)vs.31 cases(39.7%),P<0.05],lower HDL-C levels[(1.27±0.27)mmol/L vs.(1.39±0.28)mmol/L,P<0.05],and higher levels of D-dimer[1.91(0.82,3.51)mg/L FEU vs.0.48(0.25,0.80)mg/L FEU,P<0.05].Logistic regression analysis showed that total HAMD scores(OR=1.077,P=0.018),history of VTE(OR=4.339,P=0.023),bedridden for more than 72 hours(OR=2.449,P=0.044),and D-dimer level(OR=2.404,P<0.001)were risk factors for hospitalized late-life depression patients with VTE in the elderly ward.Conclusions Depression patients with VTE in the elderly ward have several clinical characteristics including older age,more severe depressive symptoms,lower HDL-C levels,higher D-dimer levels,and higher proportion of a history of VTE and bedridden for more than 72 hours.Depressive symptoms,a history of VTE,bedridden for more than 72 hours,and D-dimer levels may be risk factors for late-life depression patients with VTE in the elderly ward.

To investigate the efficacy of amiodarone and lidocaine in cardiac arrest patients. We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases through to January 1, 2024. All studies comparing lidocaine, amiodarone, and placebo for cardiac arrest were included. Meta-analysis was performed, and the primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes was survival to 24 h or hospital admission. Three RCTs and seven non-randomized intervention studies were included. Compared with placebo, amiodarone can improve the likelihood of survival to 24 h/hospital admission ( Limited RCTs directly compared amiodarone and lidocaine. No significant difference was found between amiodarone and lidocaine in improving 24 h/admission survival rate in RCTs. While compared to amiodarone and placebo, lidocaine can improve 24 h/admission survival rate and discharge survival rate in non-randomized intervention studies.
