Objective:To investigate the immunogenicity of pORF5 plasmid protein,and further to screen and identify its im-munodominant domian.Methods: 10 different fragments of pORF5 gene including full length were amplified from the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis serovar D by PCR and cloned into appropriate site of pGEX-6p vector to construct recombinant vectors after digested with BamHⅠand NotⅠrestriction endonucleases.After identification by PCR and sequencing,the recombinant plasmids were transformed into XL1 Blue E.coli to express the GST fusion proteins.ELISA and Western blot were carried out to identify the immunogenicity and immunoreaction of pORF5 plasmid protein.10 different fragments were reacted with sera from patients urogenitally infected with Chlamydia trachomatis, mouse polyclonal antibodies and mouse monoclonal antibodies of pORF5 plasmid protein with ELISA method.Results: pORF5 plasmid protein displayed strong immunogenicity and could induce a strong antibody response in human.The reactivity of human antibodies almost completely disappeared,when the native structure of pORF5 plasmid protein was de-stroyed.F6 that only lacked the N-terminal 66 amino acids was recognized by antibodies in ELISA as strongly as the whole pORF5 plasmid protein was.However,no other fragments were significantly recognized although there was a minimal reactivity of F2 and F3 with antibodies.Conclusion:pORF5 plasmid protein was an immunodominant antigen containing conformation-dependent epitope,and the C-terminal three quarters of pORF5 amino acid sequence was required for maintaining its immune dominance and conformation.The significance of the above findings lay a foundation for the further study on pORF5 protein function and vaccine development.

Objective To analyze the radiographic characteristics of right hand X-ray film of adult patients with Kaschin-Beck disease (KBD) in Qinghai Province, to understand the most affected locations in adult KBD. Methods According to the criteria of KBD diagnose (WS/T 207-2010), 111 cases of patients were taken X-ray films of right hands. Joint space narrow, joint deformity, subchondral sclerosis, osteophyte, coarse and irregularity of joint, marginal retraction sign and capsule changes were chosen as the descriptive indexes, and these indexes were analyzed with SPSS 17.0. Results A total of 111 cases adult patients with KBD were examined right hand by X-ray, abnormality on X-ray film were 103 cases, the abnormal rate was 92.79%. The most affected fingers were Ⅱ- Ⅳphalanx bones, Ⅱphalanx bones accounted for about 92.23% (95/103), Ⅲ phalanx bones accounted for about 99.03% (102/103), and Ⅳ phalanx bones accounted for about 99.03% (102/103). There was significant difference of the abnormality between th e proximal phalanx and the middle phalanx among the Ⅱ - Ⅳ phalanx bones(χ2=79.33, P<0.05). Abnormal numbers of joint deformity, marginal retraction sign, coarse and irregularity of joint, osteophyte, capsule changes and joint space narrow in the proximal phalanx were 212, 7, 134, 47, 15 and 115 in Ⅱ - Ⅳ proximal phalanx, respectively; while the abnormal numbers of joint deformity, marginal retraction sign, coarse and irregularity of joint, osteophyte, capsule changes and joint space narrow in the middle phalanx were 77, 37, 137, 26, 19 and 126 in Ⅱ - Ⅳmiddle phalanx, respectively. Conclusion The Ⅱ - Ⅳ phalanx bones of right hand are the most affected locations in adult KBD.

In medical scientific research, the contradiction between the adequacy of professional talents and the lack of interdisciplinary talents has gradually become a bottleneck for the high-quality development of medical scientific research. In order to effectively promote interdisciplinarity and high-quality cultivation of interdisciplinary talents, the West China Hospital of Sichuan University takes the lead in incorporating medical scientific research knowledge into general education for lower-grade undergraduate students. The general education system of medical scientific research spreads professional medical scientific research knowledge that is "highly concentrated and purified", and "simple" but not "shallow" to lower-grade undergraduate students while cultivating students' interdisciplinary awareness and ability of condensing scientific research problems. The system, based on curriculum design, refers to a series of teaching activities, such as professional teaching material compilation, teaching project research, course video recording, scientific research platform support, medical scientific research practice guarantee, and interdisciplinary evaluation. By adhering to the teaching concept of precise interdisciplinary education oriented by medical research, a paradigm for the reform of medical education and the training mode of interdisciplinary talents has been explored through the advancement of medical knowledge and the breakthrough of disciplinary boundaries.

Objective:To investigate the longitudinal trajectory and influencing factors of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in breast cancer patients during chemotherapy.Methods:From March 2019 to January 2020, breast cancer patients in Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected as the research objects to conduct follow-up investigation. The survey tools included general information questionnaire, Cancer-related Fatigue Assessment Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale.Results:A total of 91 patients were included in the study. The incidence of severe CRF at each time point before chemotherapy, 3 weeks after chemotherapy and 6 weeks after chemotherapy were 1.1% (1/91), 8.8% (5/57) and 2.1% (1/48), respectively. The results of the generalized estimation equation showed that the trajectory of the total score CRF firstly increased and then decreased, reaching a peak at 3 weeks after chemotherapy (35.45±13.07), and mild CRF change showed statistical difference ( P<0.05). In addition, BMI and sleep and daytime dysfunction were the influencing factors of the total score of CRF. Disease stage, sleep disturbance and daytime dysfunction were the influencing factors of CRF with different severity. Conclusions:CRF is a prominent problem in breast cancer patients during chemotherapy. Attention should be paid to high-risk individuals with abnormal BMI and daytime function by medical staff.

Due to the physiological peculiarities of pregnant women, general clinical studies exclude pregnant women. Therefore, there is a lack of evidence of precise medication for pregnant women with diseases worldwide, which poses a significant risk for them to use medication during pregnancy. Whether to include pregnant women as subjects in clinical research has always been a focus of ethical discussion. By providing a broad overview of pregnant women’s participation in clinical research from an ethical perspective, this paper explored the risks and challenges faced by pregnant women’s participation in clinical research, and provided theoretical basis and thinking paths for how to fairly and effectively include pregnant women as subjects and promoting clinical research on pregnant women.

Objective:To evaluate preliminary application effects of a provincial-county-township-village four-level network framework which aims at promoting oral health of the elderly, and to conduct preliminary evaluations of the application of this model in the prevention and treatment of oral diseases among the elderly in economically accelerated areas.Methods:Based on the population survey in June 2022, the study focuses on the elderly (≥85 years old) veterans who fought in the Korean War and currently resided in Wuyi County, an old revolutionary base area in Zhejiang Province with accelerated economic development. A four-level network medical service model matrix was constructed, spanning from the provincial level to the county, township, and village. Digital oral health records were established, and in-home dental treatment was provided for elderly individuals who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre-treatment and 3-months follow-up visits were conducted, and the impact of oral health was recorded using a scale, along with a survey of denture satisfaction.Results:A total of 54 elderly individuals received the geriatric oral healthcare services. After a 3-months follow-up, the mean total score of the oral health impact profile-14 questionnaires was (3.27±3.00), which was significantly lower than the score (32.82±7.15) in pre-treatment ones ( Z=-2.94, P=0.003). Scores in dimensions such as physical pain, functional limitations, psychological discomfort, psychological disorders, and physical disorders were all significantly lower than the pre-treatment scores ( P<0.05). The visual analogue score for denture satisfaction was 48.64±1.21, indicating a satisfaction rate of 100% (11/11). Conclusions:These findings confirm the favorable preliminary application effects of the four-level network framework in improving the prevention and treatment of oral diseases among the elderly in economically accelerated areas.

By searching the papers about medical ethics education in Chinese database CNKI and foreign database Web of Science Core Collection, and using the bibliometrics software CiteSpace to draw the knowledge map of medical ethics education at home and abroad, this paper conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the evolution of hot spots and the development trend of medical ethics education research, and found that the development level of medical ethics education in the world varies greatly. China has experienced the development and evolution from medical ethics education to medical humanities, and its research hotspots mainly focus on the topics of "medical ethics" "medical education" "practice teaching" "medical humanities" "teaching reform" and so on. While foreign countries focus on "medical education" "clinical ethics" "hospice care" "health care" "global public health" "science and technology ethics" "organ transplantation" "curriculum construction" "health policy" and other topics. Through the comparative analysis of the development trend and the evolution of hot spots of education, this paper put forward theoretical reference direction for improving the medical ethics education system in China and further perfecting the discipline construction of medical ethics in China.
