Objective To investigate the correlation of solute carrier protein 17 family member 1 (SLC17A1) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and susceptibility to hyperuricemia (HUA) in automotive manufacturing workers. Methods A total of 192 Han male workers diagnosed with HUA were selected as the case group, 192 Han male workers without HUA from the same enterprises were selected as the control group. These workers were determined by the matching factor of age, total length of service, and body mass index by the 1∶1 case-control study method. Peripheral venous blood from the workers was collected for DNA extraction. Two SNPs of SLC17A1 were genotyped by MassArray system. Results The gene frequency distributions of SLC17A1 rs2096386 and rs1183201 of workers in the control group were in consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test (both P>0.05). The allele frequency distribution of rs2096386, and the genotype and allele frequency distribution of rs1183201 were significantly different between workers in the two groups (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in genotype frequency distribution of rs2096386 between workers in the two groups (P>0.05). The results of conditional logistic regression analysis showed that workers with G allele at rs2096386 increased the risk of HUA [odds ratio (OR)=1.43, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.01-2.04], workers with T allele at rs1183201 increased the risk of HUA (OR=2.03, 95%CI =1.29-3.19), after adjusting for confounding factors such as serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, alanin aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. While workers with TA and TA+AA genotypes at rs1183201 had a lower risk of HUA than those with TT genotype (OR=0.51, 95%CI =0.30-0.85; OR=0.50, 95%CI =0.30-0.83), workers with TA genotype at rs1183201 had a lower risk of HUA than those with TT+AA genotype (OR=0.53, 95%CI =0.32-0.88). Conclusion The polymorphisms at rs2096386 and rs1183201 of SLC17A1 gene may be correlated with HUA susceptibility among automobile manufacturing workers in Guangzhou City.

This study aims to establish a high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) method for determining the content of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) E2 protein and screen the optimal stabilizer to enhance the stability of this protein. The optimal detection conditions were determined by optimizing the composition of the mobile phase, and characteristic chromatographic peaks were identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The specificity, repeatability, precision, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the method were assessed. The method established was used to determine the content of CSFV E2 protein antigen and vaccine. Differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) was employed to screen the buffer system, pH, and salt ion concentrations, and sugar, amino acid, and alcohol stabilizers were further screened. The results showed that using a 200 mmol/L phosphate buffer provided the best column efficiency. An antigen-specific chromatographic peak appeared at the retention time of 18 min, which was identified as the CSFV E2 protein by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The method exhibited high specificity for detecting the CSFV E2 protein, with no absorbance peak observed in the blank control. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the peak area for six repeated injections of the CSFV E2 protein was 0.74%, indicating good repeatability of the method. The RSD for repeated detection of two different concentrations of CSFV E2 protein samples by different operators at different time points was less than 2%, suggesting good intermediate precision of the method. The peak area of the CSFV E2 protein was linearly related to its concentration, with the regression equation showing R² of 1.000. The LOD and LOQ of the method were 14.88 μg/mL and 29.75 μg/mL, respectively. Application of the developed method in the detection of three batches of CSFV E2 protein antigen and three batches of vaccine demonstrated results consistent with those from the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay, which meant that the method could accurately determine the content of CSFV E2 protein antigen and vaccine. The DSF method identified 50 mmol/L Tris-HCl at pH 8.0 as the optimal buffer, and the addition of sugar and alcohol stabilizers further improved the stability of the CSFV E2 protein. The HPSEC method established in this study is simple, fast, and exhibits good accuracy and repeatability, enabling precise measurement of the CSFV E2 protein content. It is expected to play a crucial role in the quality control of the CSFV E2 vaccine. Furthermore, the strategy for improving the CSFV E2 protein stability, identified through DSF screening, has significant implications for enhancing the stability of the CSFV E2 vaccine.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the multidisciplinary team （MDT） management model in improving the prognosis of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. MethodsA total of 86 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension who were admitted to Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital from May 2022 to July 2024 were enrolled， and according to whether the MDT treatment regimen was implemented， they were divided into execution group with 51 patients and non-execution group with 35 patients. Baseline clinical data were collected， and the patients were observed in terms of gastrointestinal bleeding， hepatic encephalopathy， liver cancer， and death from admission to the end of follow-up （January 2025）. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves for the cumulative incidence rates of endpoint events （gastrointestinal bleeding， hepatic encephalopathy， liver cancer， and death）， and the Log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the effect of MDT management on the prognosis of patients. ResultsThere were significant differences between the execution group and the non-execution group in diameter of the portal vein （t=1.216， P=0.017） and ascites （χ²=4.515， P=0.034） at baseline. The patients were followed up for 14.6±6.2 months， and the survival curve analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups （χ²=4.573， P=0.024）， while there were no significant differences in the incidence rates of other outcome events between the two groups （all P>0.05）. The Cox regression analysis showed that the execution group had a reduced risk of gastrointestinal bleeding （hazard ratio=0.262， 95% confidence interval： 0.110 — 0.630， P=0.003）. ConclusionImplementation of the MDT treatment regimen can significantly reduce the short-term risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension， while its long-term benefits require further follow-up verification.

Objective:To combine and improve two kinds of classical transvaginal cervical cerclage,and to provide a new reference for the clinical treatment of patients with cervical insufficiency(CIC).Methods:Retro-spective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 117 patients who underwent transvaginal cervical cerclage due to CIC from January 1,2018 to August 31,2023 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical Univer-sity.According to different surgical methods,the patients were divided into the modified cerclage group(40 ca-ses),the McDonald cerclage group(40 cases)and the Shirodkar cerclage group(37 cases).Intraoperative and postoperative conditions and pregnancy outcomes were compared.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the related factors of preterm birth after modified cervical cerclage and the oth-er two groups of classical cervical cerclage.Results:①Compared with the McDonald cerclage group,the modified cerclage group had longer effective cervical length,longer delivery and gestational weeks,higher term delivery rate,and shorter post-operative contraction inhibitor time,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Compared with the Shirodkar cerclage group,the operation time of patients in the modified cerclage was significantly shortened,the amount of intraoperative blood loss was reduced,the use time of postoperative contraction inhibitors was shortened,and the rate of postoperative wire-cutting was decreased,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis of preterm birth showed that the longer the length of the cervix and the later gestational age when the modified cervical cerclage was performed with reference to McDonald's cerclage,the longer the length of the cervix after surgery,the later the gestational age when the suture was removed.The risk of preterm birth was reduced(OR＜1,P＜0.05),while preoperative BMI≥24 kg/m2 was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth(OR＞1,P＜0.05).Using Shirodkar's cerclage as reference,the risk of preterm delivery was consistent between the two types of cervix(P＞0.05).Longer cervical length and later gestational age after suture removal reduced the risk of preterm delivery(OR＜1,P＜0.05).Conclusions:The modified transvaginal cervical cerclage is simple and safe in clinical application,it has certain advantages in improving ad-verse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women,which provides a new reference for the treatment of pregnant women with CIC.Due to the small number of cases included in the study,comprehensive evaluation by clinicians is still needed for clinical application.
