Interstitial cells of Cajal( ICC)has been accepted as a therapeutic target for gastrointestinal motility disorders and regulation of autophagy might be a potential strategy for various diseases. Study on relationship between intestinal dysmotility in UC and ICC autophagy and the intervention mechanism of related drugs will benefit the controlling of disease activity,relieving of dysmotility symptoms and improving of quality of life in UC patients. In this review article,the possible relationship between intestinal dysmotility in UC and ICC autophagy,as well as the possibility of regulating ICC autophagy as a treatment strategy for UC intestinal dysmotility were summarized.

Objective: To study the molecular epidemiology and genetic variation of coxsackievirus B5 (CV-B5) in certain areas in China. Methods: MEGA 6.0 software was used to analyze the complete VP1 region of CV-B5 isolated strains from certain areas of China by retrieving the GenBank nucleotide database. Besides, the phylogenetic tree was constructed, the homology of nucleotide and amino acids were calculated and the rate of evolution was estimated. Results: A total of 189 Chinese CV-B5 isolated strains were included in this study. Most of Chinese CV-B5 isolated strains belonged to genotype C, accounted for 90.5%. Compared with the genotype A, the homology of nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences of complete VP1 region of 189 Chinese isolated strains were 79.8%-82.8% and 92.6%-97.9%, respectively; moreover, the nucleotide and the amino acid homology of 189 Chinese CV-B5 isolated strains among themselves ranged from 80.3% to 100.0% and ranged from 91.5% to 100.0%, respectively. The estimated rate of evolution of the CV-B5 was 4×10^-3 substitutions/site/year. Conclusions The majority of CV-B5 isolated strains belonged to genotype C, and subgenotype C1 and C2 were co-circulating together in certain areas of China.

The production efficiency of microbial cell factory is determined by the growth performance, product synthetic capacity, and stress resistance of the strain. Strengthening the stress resistance is the key point to improve the production efficiency of microbial cell factory. Tolerance engineering is based on the response mechanism of microbial cell factory to resist stress. Specifically, it consolidates the cell wall-cell membrane barrier to enhance the defense against stress, accelerates the stress response to improve the damage repair, and creates tolerance evolutionary tools to screen industrial microorganisms with enhanced robustness. We summarize the regulation strategies and forecast the prospects of tolerance engineering, which plays an important role in the microbial cell factories for sustainable production of natural products and bulk chemicals.

Objective: To observe the status of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and their correlation with the number of hospitalizations within 1 year in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF). Methods: This study is a prospective investigation. Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated in the Department of Cardiology of the Third People's Hospital of Yancheng from May 2020 to April 2021 were selected. General information and AF6 questionnaire were used to define PROs. The number of hospitalizations within 1 year after discharge was obtained. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between PROs and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the number of hospitalizations in AF patients within 1 year. Results: A total of 197 patients were enrolled, the mean age was (74.1±9.0) years, 106 (53.8%) patients were female. The mean AF6 score was (24.3±8.3). The proportion of patients with 6 entries≥1 point exceeded 50%. There was a positive correlation between NYHA classification and PROs (r=0.360, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the older age (OR=1.058, P=0.004) and the AF6 scores≥24(OR=4.082, P<0.001) were the risk factors of rehospitalization within 1 year for AF patients. Conclusions: The PROs of AF patients are at the medium level and poor levels of PROs are associated with increased risk of rehospitalization within 1 year.

The imaging techniques have been widely used in the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis,including plain radiography,magnetic resonance imaging,computed tomography and radionuclide imaging.Plain radiography is useful in the early detection of suspected osteomyelitis,but its sensitivity is low.Due to its high resolution and sensitivity,MRI has been the most widely used but its specificity is relatively poor.CT is mainly recommended for diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis in complicated anatomic regions.Radionuclide imaging will have prospects of broad application due to its diverse radiotracers and high sensitivity.This paper reviewed the research of imaging modalities in diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis.

Osteomyelitis,particularly chronic one,is still a huge challenge to orthopedic surgeons.The current treatment for osteomyelitis centers on sensitive antibiotic coverage and surgical debridement of nonviable tissue.However,treatment failure and recurrence are common.Recently,adjunctive therapies such as hyperbaric oxygenation have been widely applied in treatment of osteomyelitis to promote sanative effect on osteomyelitis.In this review,we will outline the rationales and current status of potential adjunctive therapies in osteomyelitis management.
