Objective To explore the myogenic basis of the increased excitability and contractile activity in detrusor instability (DI) and investigate the differences of spontaneous contractions by ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels regulation in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) between DI and normal bladder muscle and of the RyR channels protein expression. Methods DI model was confirmed by filling cystometry from rats that underwent partial bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) about 8 weeks ago. Muscle strips were dissected from fresh bladder under microscope and the isometric tension in DI and normal strips were detected. The contractions were recorded in these strips exposed to some agents. SR microsome protein was obtained from DI and normal bladder muscle preparations and was used for Western blot analysis to determinate RyR channels expression. Results Treated with RyR channels blocker ryanodine , the contractile frequence significantly increased in normal strips, but not in DI muscle. Western blot analysis showed that RyR channels expression in DI muscle was significantly less than that in normal preparations. Conclusion RyR channels act a negative role in spontaneous contractile activity and the presumed mechanism may involve in Ca 2+ release of RyR channels which causes activation of Ca 2+ -dependent K + channels to decrease contractility. But this crosstalk mechanism is weaken in DI muscle, which provides a chance for spontaneous contractile overactivity.

Objective : To investigate the awareness of nutritional health knowledge regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into nutrition and health education among unpaid blood donors. Methods: The regular unpaid blood donors were sampled using a convenient sampling method from Zhoushan Central Blood Station from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The nutritional health knowledge was investigated using the Chinese Nutrition Health Knowledge Questionnaire for Adults compiled by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the awareness and source of nutritional health knowledge was descriptively analyzed. Results: Totally 526 questionnaires were allocated, and 502 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.44%. The respondents included 240 men (47.81%) and 262 women (52.19%), and included 343 individuals at ages of 18 to 44 years (68.33%), and 159 individuals at ages of 45 years and older (31.67%). The overall awareness of nutritional health knowledge was 14.54% among regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City, and a higher awareness was seen among female regular unpaid blood donors (17.56%) than among males (11.25%) (P<0.05), while the awareness of nutritional health knowledge was significantly higher among respondents at ages of 18 to 44 years than among those at ages of 45 years and older (16.91% vs. 9.43%, P<0.05). The awareness of nutritional health knowledge was significantly higher among respondents with an educational level of junior college and above than among those with an educational level of high school/technical secondary school/technical school (17.24% vs. 12.22%, P<0.05), and the awareness was significantly higher among respondents with healthcare-related occupations than among those with other occupations (16.44% vs. 14.22%, P<0.05). Wechat, Weibo, Tik Tok and Kuaishou were main routes to obtain nutritional health knowledge (83.86%). Conclusions The awareness of nutritional health knowledge is low among regular unpaid blood donors in Zhoushan City. Men, middle-aged and elderly residents and residents with a low educational level are targets that should be given a high priority for nutritional health education, and new media may be fully utilized for nutritional health education.

Objective To construct a technical platform for scarless gene modification of Yersinia pestis and to study the functions of its specific genes.Methods The resistance fragment, including upstream and downstream homologous arms of targeted regions, was reamplified by asymmetric PCR.The amplicons were introduced into Y.pestis harboring plasmid pKD46.With the induction of L-arabinose,the recombinant related enzymes: Exo, Beta and Gam, were expressed to guide the homologous recombination.A donor plasmid, pKSI-1, which carried the desired modification fragment flanking by I-SceⅠ recognition sites, was introduced into Y.pestis as the second step of λ-Red recombination with the help of pREDTKI.Results and Conclusion Two mutant strains:△waaA and waaA(△9nt), were successfully constructed for Y.pestis strain 201.Scarless modification introduces no extra modification to the genome, and it is ideal for comprehensive functional genomic studies.

Objective To characterize the resistance mechanisms of a clinical Shigella sonnei strain harboring blaCTX-M-55 .Methods A double-disk synergy test was conducted to detect ESBL.Antibiotic resistance genes were determined by PCR followed by amplicon sequencing.Conjugation experiments were performed to verify the transferability of the plasmids carrying ESBL genes.The minimum inhibitory concentration values were tested using VITEK 2.The transposition unit was confirmed by DNA sequencer,and the transcriptional start site was identified using primer extension assay.Results Strain #1083 produced CTX-M-55,which was encoded by plasmid p1083-CTXM that could be transferred into E.coli through conjugation experiments to confer corresponding antibiotic resistance to the transconjugant #1083-EC600.The transposition unit mediating the transfer of blaCTX-M-55 was ISEcp1-blaCTX-M-55 -Δorf477.ISEcp1 offered strong promoter regions for the resistance genes,facilitating their expressions.Besides,the expressions were constant,not induced by antibiotics.Conclusion BlaCTX-M-55 on plasmids is the major resistance genes for strain #1083.Their expressions and spread are mediated by the insertion sequence ISEcp1.

Objective To investigate clinical characteristics of elderly patients with sepsis combined with congestive heart failure and risk factors for short-term mortality.Methods Clinical data of elderly patients with sepsis combined with congestive heart failure who were admitted in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2018 were selected and retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into the survival group(n=134)and the death group(n=83)according to survival status during hospitalization.The clinical characteristics and risk factors for mortality were analyzed and compared.Results A total of 217 elderly patients were enrolled,with 113 males and a mean age of(72.3 ± 7.5)years.The death rate of sepsis was 38.3％ (83/217 cases),and 29 cases died of sepsis and 54 cases died of other diseases.Pneumonia accounted for 78.8％ (171/217 patients) in all patients of two groups,and skin and soft tissue infection for 12.9 ％ (28/217 cases).There were significant differences between two groups in age,body mass index,smoking,diabetes,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,mean arterial pressure,arterial oxygen partial pressure(PaO2),C-reactive protein,white blood cell counts,neutrophil and lymphocyte counts,glomerular filtration rate,serum sodium level,albumin level,lactate level,and left ventricular ejection fraction(P ＜0.05).Furthermore,the rates of invasive mechanical ventilation and continuous renal replacement therapy were higher in the death group than in the survival group(x2=13.209 and 7.402,P＜0.001 and 0.007).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that advanced age,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,low albumin level and low glomerular filtration rate were risk factors for mortality(P＜0.05).Conclusions Elderly patients with sepsis combined with congestive heart failure often have severe pneumonia and violent skin and soft tissue infection,with worse heart and renal function.Advanced age,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,low albumin level and low glomerular filtration rate are risk factors for mortality.

Objective:To investigate the impact of the interaction between triglyceride-glucose(TyG)and obesity-related anthropometric indices on hypertension risk.Methods:A total of 3 356 permanent residents over 40 years were recruited from Songnan community, Baoshan district, Shanghai. All participants underwent questionnaire surveys, physical examinations, and biochemical parameter tests. TyG-WHR, TyG-WHtR, and TyG-BMI were obtained by multiplying TyG index with waist-to-hip ratio(WHR), waist-to-height ratio(WHtR), and body mass index(BMI), respectively. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations of the three indices and hypertension. The interactions of TyG index and obesity-related anthropometric indices on the risk of hypertension were analyzed in different genders.Results:After multivariable adjustment, the fourth quartile of TyG, TyG-WHR, TyG-WHtR, and TyG-BMI demostrated higher risk of hypertension compared with the first quantile, with OR(95% CI)2.93(2.37-3.62), 3.22(2.59-4.01), 4.33(3.46-5.42), and 4.07(3.27-5.06). Two abdominal obesity-related indicators WHR(RERI=1.52, 95% CI 0.12-2.92; AP=0.32, 95% CI 0.06-0.59)and WHtR(RERI=2.41, 95% CI 0.64-4.19; AP=0.39, 95% CI 0.15-0.63; SI=1.88, 95% CI 1.10-3.21)had a biological interaction with TyG index on the risk of hypertension in female, but not in male. Conclusion:The combination of TyG and obesity-related indicators is significantly correlated with the increased risk of hypertension, which may be influenced by gender and fat distribution type.
