The SNP loci of ACOX1 gene in 83 China Holstein cows were detected by PCR amplifica-tion and direct sequencing,and the association between the genetic polymorphism loci of ACOX 1 gene and milk quality traits of China Holstein cows was analyzed by SPSS 25.0 software.The re-sults showed that a SNP locus I3-2 267 G→C was found in the third intron of ACOX1 gene,it was moderately polymorphic and in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium in the population.By correlation anal-ysis,it was found that the SNP locus was significantly related to the somatic cell content and cor-rected milk quantity of dairy cows.The I3-2 267 G→C locus of ACOX1 gene can be used as a mo-lecular marker of quality traits of Holstein cows in China,and provide reference for the study of quality traits of Holstein cows in China.

Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy of local treatment for prostate cancer patients with bone metastases at the initial diagnosis.Methods:Clinical data of 211 prostate cancer patients with bone metastases at the initial diagnosis admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into the systemic and combined local treatment groups according to whether they received local treatment or not. Patients in the combined local treatment group were further divided into the prostatectomy and radical radiotherapy groups. According to whether they received radiotherapy, they were divided into the radiotherapy and non-radiotherapy groups. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 26.0 statistical software. The differences in the survival of patients among different groups were analyzed and compared by Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The comparison was repeatedly conducted after the propensity score matching. Clinical characteristics and treatment factors of patients were included in Cox's proportional hazard regression model, and their relationship with survival was analyzed.Results:Compared with systemic treatment, local treatment significantly improved the 5-year clinical progression-free survival (CPFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) ( P=0.049, 0.010). After propensity score matching was performed, patients in the local treatment group outperformed those in the systemic treatment in 5-year biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS) and 5-year OS ( P=0.036, 0.029). There were no statistically significant differences in 5-year BPFS, CPFS and OS between the prostatectomy and radical radiotherapy groups. Radiotherapy improved 5-year BPFS and 5-year OS compared with non-radiotherapy ( P=0.030, 0.020). After propensity score matching was performed, 5-year BPFS and 5-year OS in the radiotherapy group remained significantly higher than those in the non-radiotherapy group ( P=0.046, 0.047). Overall, patients who received radiotherapy were well tolerated and did not experience serious radiation-related adverse events. Radiotherapy improved 5-year OS for patients who were older than 65 years, had bone metastases confined to the pelvis and had a Gleason score of ≤ 8 ( P=0.039, 0.024, 0.036). Conclusions:Local treatment, especially radiotherapy, prolongs BPFS and OS rates in prostate cancer patients with bone metastases at first diagnosis. Radiotherapy appears to be more effective in patients of advanced age, with bone metastases confined to the pelvis and with relatively low Gleason scores.

Objective Neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES)-evoked kinesthetic information in muscle spindle can be purely extracted from the mixed motor and sensory afferents using Ischemic nerve block(INB).This study aims to investigate the somatosensory cortical response evoked by NMES activating muscle spindle afferents in forearm.Methods All subjects performed four experimental tasks designed according to a 2×2 factors,including one factor of the INB state(without INB and within INB)and the other of the stimulation intensity(above and below motor threshold).During the experiment,we recorded EEG data with 64 channels and then beta event-related desynchronization(Beta ERD)were utilized quantize somatosensory cortical excitability evoked by the tasks.The subjective perception about the sensation and movement of the right hand were evaluated by a psychophysical test after the right wrist was performed by INB.Results INB significantly reduced beta ERD on the contralateral somatosensory cortex evoked by NMES above the motor threshold,and there was significant difference of NMES-evoked beta ERD values on the contralateral somatosensory cortex between above and below motor threshold.Meanwhile,contralateral dominance of NMES-evoked beta ERD on the somatosensory cortex was transferred to ipsilateral hemisphere under INB.Conclusion INB can significantly reduce NMES-evoked somatosensory cortical response above motor threshold and decrease cortical perception on the stimulus intensity,which may be due to INB resulting in rapid functional reorganization of somatosensory cortex.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of badminton exercise on neck pain in naval carrier-based aircraft flight trainees,and provide data support for the prevention and relief of neck pain in these trainees.Methods A total of 16 naval carrier-based aircraft flight trainees were selected as subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria,and randomly divided into the sports rehabilitation group and the control group,with eight participants in each group.The sports rehabilitation group engaged in badminton exercise three times a week for one hour each time,in addition to their regular military training.The control group received no other interventions apart from their regular military training.Neck Disability Index(NDI),Visual Analog Scale(VAS)for pain simulation,Cervical Range of Motion(CROM),maximum neck strength,Root Mean Square(RMS)value of surface electromyographic signals,and integrated electromyography(iEMG)values were used as evaluation indexes for the intervention effect of neck pain.Results There was a significant difference in NDI scores among members of the sports rehabilitation group before and after intervention(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference observed in NDI scores among members of the control group before and after intervention(P>0.05).Furthermore,there was a significant difference in VAS scores among members of the sports rehabilitation group before and after intervention(P<0.01).The VAS scores of the control group members showed no significant difference compared to pre-intervention testing(P>0.05).The maximum range of motion in all directions increased for the exercise rehabilitation group,with significant differences observed in left and right flexion(P<0.05),but no significant differences were found in other directions(P>0.05)compared to pre-intervention levels.There was no significant change in maximum range of motion within the control group before and after intervention(P>0.05).The exercise rehabilitation group demonstrated a significant increase in neck muscle strength during forward flexion,backward extension,left flexion(P<0.01),and right flexion as well as left and right rotation values(P<0.05)compared to pre-intervention levels.There was no significant difference observed between RMS values on both sides of the sternocleidomastoid muscles during movement in four different directions for the exercise rehabilitation group(P>0.05).However,there was a significant difference observed on the left side of the upper trapezius muscle during forward and rightward movements(P<0.05),but not during backward or leftward movements(P>0.05).No statistically significant differences were found among any direction's iEMG values before or after intervention for four muscles tested except that iEMG value increased slightly without significance after intervention when performing forward bending,backward extension and rightward bending exercises within exercise rehabilitation groups(P>0.05).Conclusion After badminton training,neck pain among carrier-based fighter pilots is allivated while cervical dysfunction recovers somewhat.Furthermore,their neck flexibility increases along with their neck muscle strength while deep muscles are activated to maintain stability to effectively enhance fatigue resistance capacity within these muscle groups around their necks.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and radiologic characteristics of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) in a single center.Methods:This is a retrospective case series study. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, clinical data of 497 children(507 limbs) with CPT who were treated at Department of Orthopedics, the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University from January 2011 to December 2020 were collected. Baseline data included gender, age at initial visit, age at onset of symptoms, accompanying symptoms, domicile, whether first treated at our hospital, and treatment-related information such as surgical or conservative treatment, surgical complications, etc., were extracted and analyzed using the health information system. Imaging data of the children, including Crawford classification, bilateral leg lengths, presence of fibular pseudarthrosis, and location of pseudarthrosis along the tibia segment, were analyzed using the Picture Archiving and Communication System. Data were compared using independent sample t test or χ2 tests. Results:Among 497 children with CPT, there were 305 males (61.4%) and 192 females (38.6%). The age at initial visit was (3.6±3.2) years (range: 0.1 to 16.2 years). Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) symptoms were positive in 340 children (68.4%), and negative in 157 children (31.6%). Among NF1-positive children, those with symptoms onset before 1 year of age were significantly more than NF1-negative children (74.1%(252/340) vs. 66.2%(104/157); χ2=9.24, P=0.001), and the proportion of fractures (92.9%,316/340) was significantly higher than that in the NF1-negative group (84.7%,133/157) ( χ2=8.33, P=0.004). According to imaging data, Crawford type Ⅳ was the most common type, with 321 limbs (63.3%), followed by type Ⅱ in 100 limbs (19.7%), type Ⅲ in 54 limbs (10.7%) and type Ⅰ in 32 limbs (6.3%). Pseudarthrosis occurred in the proximal third of the tibia in 14 limbs (2.8%), in the middle third in 185 limbs (36.5%), and in the distal third in 308 limbs (60.8%). Seventy-four children (14.9 %) had associated fibular pseudarthrosis. The lateral proximal tibial angle was 86.91°±5.21°(range: 72.17° to 102.08°), and the lateral distal tibial angle was 87.27°±10.73°(range: 51.07° to 128.17°). A total of 421 children (84.7%) underwent surgical treatment with (3.1±2.4) surgeries performed per child (range:0 to 12 surgeries); 76 children (15.3%) received conservative treatment. Postoperative complications mainly included ankle valgus (77 cases), leg length discrepancy (71 cases),refracture (48 cases), osteomyelitis (11 cases), and hardware failure (10 cases). NF1-positive children underwent more surgeries than NF1-negative children ((5.1±2.2)times vs.(2.1±1.8)times; t=14.93, P<0.01). Conclusions:Crawford type Ⅳ is the most common type of CPT in children in this study. CPT predominantly occurs in the middle or distal third of the tibia. The majority of children with CPT experienced symptoms and were seen at outpatient clinics before the age of 3 years. The main surgical complications currently associated with CPT treatment are ankle valgus and leg length discrepancy. Compared with CPT without NF1, children with NF1-positive CPT tend to have earlier symptom onset and may require more frequent treatments.

More than 300 million people worldwide suffer from asthma, and the incidence is increasing year by year. As one of the most common chronic diseases, asthma is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease with complex triggering mechanisms and strong heterogeneity. With the in-depth study of physiological and pathological mechanisms, therapeutic small molecule and hormone drugs have been introduced to control and treat most patients, but about 5% - 10% of patients still suffer from various subtypes of difficult to control and treat asthma, that is, severe asthma. In the past decade, with the rapid development of bio-pharmaceutical research, protein and antibody have become the key drugs for the treatment of severe asthma with high efficacy, high specificity and high safety. However, biological drugs are usually administered by injection, they cannot be noninvasive and directly delivered into the lung to quickly absorb and take effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the introduction of inhaled biologics with quick effectiveness, convenience, economy and safety in clinical. The review summarizes the existing small molecule, hormone and biological therapy drugs, and summarizes the development of inhalable biological agents of asthma, and analyzes the future prospects of the inhalable biological drugs, which is designed to deepen the perception of the direction of the inhalable biological drugs research, and update the information of the field, in order to provide reference for the development of more inhalable biologics.
