Objective:To explore the expression of serum inflammatory factors in patients with thyroid tumor and their correlation with thyroid hormones.Methods:A total of 92 patients with thyroid tumors (48 cases of thyroid cancer and 44 cases of thyroid adenoma) admitted to Department of Endocrinology in Linyi Central Hospital in Shandong Province from Jan. 2020 to Oct. 2021 were enrolled. 50 healthy volunteers who received physical examination in the hospital during the same period were enrolled in the control group. The serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , interleukin-6 (IL-6) , interleukin-17 (IL-17) ] and thyroid hormone expression levels [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) , free thyroxin T4 (FT4) , free triiodothyronine (FT3) ] of the three groups were detected. Analysis of variance was used for multi-group comparison, independent sample t test was performed for comparison between groups, Spearman correlation analysis and Logistic regression analysis were made for the risk factors of thyroid cancer. The expression of serum inflammation and thyroid hormones in patients with different stages of thyroid cancer was observed. Results:Serum TNF-α, IL-17, IL-6 from high to low were in the thyroid cancer group (74.61±7.94 ng/L, 68.65±7.05 ng/L, 20.52±2.84 ng/L) , thyroid adenoma group (26.97±3.42 ng/L, 46.31±5.31 ng/L, 13.61±1.58 ng/L) , control group (18.82±2.63 ng/L, 34.52±4.02 ng/L, 8.97±1.06 ng/L) ( F=1596.271, 468.602, 423.351, all P<0.001) ; Serum TSH levels from high to low were in the thyroid cancer group (8.64±1.34 mU/L) , the thyroid adenoma group (5.21±1.02 mU/L) , the control group (3.94±0.85 mU/L) ( F=242.182, P=0.000) . There was no significant difference in serum FT4 or FT3 levels among the three groups ( P=0.753, 0.634) . Correlation analysis indicated that serum TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-6 were positively correlated with the expression level of serum TSH ( r=0.936, 0.726, 759, all P<0.05) . The expression level of TNF- α, IL-17, IL-6 and TSH was significantly higher in patients of stage III and IV than that in patients of stage I and II ( t=2.541, 4.394, 6.390, 4.962, P=0.015, P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001) . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested serum TNF-α, IL-17, IL-6 and TSH were all risk factors for thyroid cancer. Conclusions:Serum inflammatory factors and some thyroid hormones (TSH) are generally highly expressed in patients with thyroid tumors, the expression levels of serum inflammatory factors are correlated with the expression of TSH. There are statistically significant differences in the expression levels of serum inflammatory factors and TSH between patients with thyroid cancer of different stages, serum inflammatory factors and TSH are also involved in the occurrence and development of thyroid cancer, and are risk factors for thyroid cancer.

Objective:To identify the epidemic clones of MRSA isolates at a hospital in shanghai.Methods:A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been isolated from a second grade hospital between 2017 and 2018, including 32 CA-MRSA isolates, 13 HA-MRSA isolates and 26 MRSA isolates from environment. In this study, MLST and PFGE typing methods were used to analyze the molecular epidemiology of the MRSA isolates.Results:A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been obtained including 46 isolates from clinical specimens, 26 isolates from environments. The 46 MRSA isolates from clinical specimens consisted of 33 CA-MRSA (community-acquired MRSA) and 13 HA-MRSA (hospital-acquired MRSA). Furthermore, these patients infected with MRSA isolates were mostly distributed in the department of geriatrics (34.8%, 16/46), internal medicine (26.1%, 12/46) and surgery (26.1%, 12/46). MLST typing results showed that ST764 was predominant in isolates from both clinical specimens and hospital environments. Furthermore, PFGE typing results showed that most ST764 MRSA had high homolog (>90%).Conclusion:ST764 MRSA isolates might spread in community, hospital and environments. Therefore, continuous monitoring of MRSA and its variation may be useful in understanding the involvement of epidemic clone, and in searching new strategies to control MRSA infection.

Objective:To investigate the impact of circular RanGTPase activating protein 1 (circRANGAP1) on the biological behavior of trophoblast cells in preeclampsia and its potential mechanisms.Methods:Placental tissues were collected from preeclampsia patients and age- and gestational age- matched control pregnant women admitted to Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from August 2020 to December 2022 (eight cases each in the early-onset preeclampsia group and early-onset control group, and 24 cases each in the late-onset preeclampsia group and late-onset control group). The expression levels of circRANGAP1 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) mRNA in placental tissues were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and EIF4A3 protein expression was assessed by Western blotting. In HTR-8/Svneo cells, the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities were evaluated by cell counting assay, scratch assay, Transwell invasion assay, and the regulatory effect of EIF4A3 on circRANGAP1 was examined by RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP). Changes of circRANGAP1 expression in HTR-8/Svneo cells were detected by RT-qPCR after EIF4A3 knockdown. Statistical analysis was performed using independent sample t-test, non-parametric Chi-square test, or Pearson correlation analysis. Results:(1) There was no significant difference in circRANGAP1 expression between the early-onset preeclampsia group and the early-onset control group. However, circRANGAP1 expression was higher in the late-onset preeclampsia group compared to the late-onset control group [(3.764±3.297) vs. (0.960±0.720), t=4.07, P<0.001]. In late-onset preeclampsia patients, circRANGAP1 expression was positively correlated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (systolic: r=0.639, P<0.01; diastolic: r=0.800, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in EIF4A3 mRNA and protein expression between the early-onset preeclampsia group and the early-onset control group, but EIF4A3 mRNA and protein expression were higher in the late-onset preeclampsia group compared to the late-onset control group [mRNA: (2.963±3.081) vs. (1.149±0.667), t=2.30, P=0.028; protein: (2.504±1.008) vs. (0.258±0.180), t=4.39, P=0.005]. (2) After small interfering (si) RNA knockdown, there was no significant difference in mRANGAP1 expression, but circRANGAP1 expression decreased [(1.000±0.004), (0.465±0.031), and (0.621±0.030)], with si-1 showing the highest knockdown efficiency ( t=23.59, P=0.002). Specific knockdown of circRANGAP1 resulted in increased proliferation [(1.297±0.058) vs. (1.456±0.030), t=-5.97, P<0.001], invasion [(94.400± 6.504) vs. (219.000±19.870), t=-13.32, P<0.001], and migration [(25.493±3.498)% vs. (58.456±3.277)%, t=-15.38, P<0.001] abilities of trophoblast cells. (3) There are six binding sites for EIF4A3 in the upstream region of circRANGAP1 pre-mRNA. EIF4A3 can bind through regions a and b, but not region c. After siRNA knockdown, EIF4A3 expression decreased [(1.003±0.101), (0.276±0.060), (0.398±0.074), and (0.184±0.017)], with si-3 showing the highest knockdown efficiency. After EIF4A3 knockdown, circRANGAP1 expression in trophoblast cells decreased [(1.004±0.118) vs. (0.480±0.039), t=5.96, P=0.027]. Conclusion:circRANGAP1, regulated by EIF4A3, inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of trophoblast cells, thereby participating in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the risk factors affecting the positive detection of Acinetobacter baumannii on the hands in medical staff of hospitals in Shanghai, and provide epidemiological evidence for the prevention and control of nosocomial infections. MethodsThe hands of doctors, nurses and care workers in key departments were sampled every quarter from 2018 to 2020 according toGB 15982‒2012 "Hospital Disinfection and Hygiene Standards". Separation and identification of A. baumannii were followed with sampling shortly. Information about the working years of sampling subjects, the hand sanitizers of which sampling subjects had used and the ingredients and actual using time of the hand sanitizers was collected while sampling. Finally, 709 samples were selected for this research after excluding the unqualified samples. ResultsThe positive detection of the hand samples was 7.05%. The logistic regression model suggested that the department, the time of using hand sanitizer, the hospital grade and occupational category were determinants of A. baumannii positive detection on hands in medical staff. The risk of A. baumannii positive detection in internal medicine department was 2.846 (95%CI:1.402‒5.776) times higher than that in intensive care unit while it was 3.357 (95%CI:1.349‒8.353) times higher in surgery department than that in intensive care unit. Regarding the use of hand sanitizer, the risk of A. baumannii positive detection was 3.076 (95%CI:1.534‒6.168) times higher in the staff used the hand sanitizer over 14 days than in the medical staff used the sanitizer within 14 days. The risk of A. baumannii positive detection in medical worker in secondary hospitals was 2.235(95%CI:1.088‒4.588)times than in tertiary hospitals. The risk of A. baumannii positive detection of care workers was 3.634 (95%CI:1.764‒7.484) times higher than nurses. ConclusionThe positive detection of hand samples was 7.05%. Department, the time of using hand sanitizer, the hospital grade and occupational category were determinants of A. baumannii positive detection on hands in medical staff. It was necessary to improve hand hygiene for medical staff, especially for care worker. Cleaning and disinfection need to be strengthened in internal department and surgery department.

ObjectiveTo identify the rate, population characteristics, and vaccination history of repeat infections among previously infected people in the current epidemic based on the rate of repeat infection and population characteristics of different mutant strains at different times in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to provide reference for the prevention and control strategies of novel coronavirus repeat infections. MethodsA total of 9 250 investigated subjects were randomly selected from the new cases of asymptomatic infection and confirmed cases reported by Pudong New Area from March to May 2022. The investigation mainly focused on demographic characteristics, nucleic acid or antigen test results, and symptoms after infection. The repeat infection rates among different populations were compared, and logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of gender, age, and vaccination status on repeat infections. ResultsThe survey sample of 9 250 people had a response rate of 81.85%. There were 4 043 males (53.40%) and 3 528 females (46.60%), with a median age of 34 years old (P25, P75: 7, 61). The overall vaccine uptake rate was 59.44% (4 500/7 571). In December of 2022, there were 563 cases of repeat infection, with an infection rate of 7.44%. The lowest rate of repeat infection was seen in the 3‒ year-old group (2.86%) and the highest rate in the 30‒ year-old group (12.42%), with significant differences between different age groups. The repeated infection rate for those who had completed their vaccinations was significantly lower (6.57%) compared to those who had not (7.11%). The age groups of 3‒ years, 70‒79 years, as well as individuals who completed full vaccination and received booster shots were protective factors against repeat infections. ConclusionThe overall rate of reinfection among the infected in Shanghai during the spring of 2022 was low in the outbreak of the Omicron variant, and the rate of reinfection in the 3‒ year-old group was significantly lower than in other age groups. Completing the full course of vaccination significantly reduces the risk of reinfection. Although the reinfection rate is high in individuals who received booster shots, it remains a mitigating factor compared to those who do not receive the vaccine. It is recommended to continue monitoring reinfections in key populations and further strengthen immunization efforts.

Maintaining the stemness of the transplanted stem cell spheroids in an inflammatory microenvironment is challenging but important in regenerative medicine. Direct delivery of stem cells to repair periodontal defects may yield suboptimal effects due to the complexity of the periodontal inflammatory environment. Herein, stem cell spheroid is encapsulated by interfacial assembly of metal-phenolic network (MPN) nanofilm to form a stem cell microsphere capsule. Specifically, periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) spheroid was coated with FeIII/tannic acid coordination network to obtain spheroid@[FeIII-TA] microcapsules. The formed biodegradable MPN biointerface acted as a cytoprotective barrier and exhibited antioxidative, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, effectively remodeling the inflammatory microenvironment and maintaining the stemness of PDLSCs. The stem cell microencapsulation proposed in this study can be applied to multiple stem cells with various functional metal ion/polyphenol coordination, providing a simple yet efficient delivery strategy for stem cell stemness maintenance in an inflammatory environment toward a better therapeutic outcome.
