In order to develop a positive quality control products for the detection of porcine repro-ductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)nucleic acid by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR),the positive quality control products of PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 M genes were prepared using armored RNA technology of MS2 phage.PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 M genes were amplified,purified and recovered,and ligated into pET28b vector containing MS2 mature enzyme protein gene and capsid protein.After transformed into BL21(DE3),the gene products were in-duced by IPTG and purified by PEG6000 precipitation method to prepare the armored RNA virus-like particles(AR-PRRSV)containing PRRSV M gene.Following the performance evaluation,as the positive quality control products of PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2 M genes,AR-PRRSV1M and AR-PRRSV2M were calculated using YY/T 1652-2019 standard.Results showed that it had a good u-niformity,stable storage for the armored virus-like particles at-20,4,25 ℃ for 60 d,and 37 ℃ for 30 d.The prepared armored virus-like particles AR-PRRSV1M and AR-PRRSV2M were deter-mined by digital quantitative PCR(ddPCR)after preliminary quantification by RT-qPCR.The 104 copies/μL of AR-PRRSV1M and AR-PRRSV2M ddPCR fixation was(1.33+0.50)× 104 cop-ies/μL.The above results indicates that the AR-PRRSVM can be used as the quality control of the whole detection process(nucleic acid extraction,reverse transcription and RT-qPCR).

Objective To analyze the influencing factors associated with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)in children with tic disorders(TD)and the mediation effect in the path relationship.Methods The clinical data,demographic,and family environmental information of 363 children with TD were investigated and collected,and the study was carried out using multivariate Logistic regression analysis,path analysis,and mediation effect analysis.Results Parenting pattern of indulgence(OR=2.59),moder-ate/severe TD(OR=25.92),and combined behavioral problems(OR=3.72)were the risk factors for TD comorbid ADHD.The results of mediation effect analysis showed that TD severity partially mediated the association between TD type and behavioral problems,and the effect size was 14.34％;behavioral problems partially mediated the association between TD severity and comorbid ADHD,and the effect size was 6.49％;behavioral problems partially mediated the association between parenting pattern and comorbid ADHD,and the effect size was 24.14％.Conclusion TD with comorbid ADHD was closely associated with family environmental and clinical factors.In the process of TD diagnosis and treatment,the influence of the diseases themselves,comorbidities,and mediators should be fully considered.

Objective To study the diagnostic and therapeutic value of endoscopic irrigation for uncomplicated acute colonic diverticulitis.Methods From June 2021 to March 2022,4 patients suspected uncomplicated acute colonic diverticulitis who then underwent colonoscopy,and endoscopic irrigation treatment was performed after confirming.The endoscopic imaging of acute colonic diverticulitis was summarized.The changes of abdominal pain symptoms and prognosis of the patients were evaluated.The levels of white blood cell(WBC)and C-reactive protein(CRP)in serum before and after treatment were measured.Results 4 patients were diagnosed as uncomplicated acute colonic diverticulitis underwent colonoscopy.Two cases were located in the ascending colon and the other two in the cecum.Endoscopic imaging characteristics included mucosal hyperemia and swelling of diverticular orifice and nearby area,purulent secretions,purulent fur and fecalith at the diverticular orifice.After treatment,the symptom of abdominal pain was relieved,the levels of WBC and CRP in serum were lower than before treatment.Conclusion Endoscopic irrigation has a useful diagnostic and therapeutic value for uncomplicated acute diverticulitis of the colon.It is worthy of further clinical study.

Objective:To investigate the discomfort of chest wall approach area in patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy by a gasless unilateral axillary approach (GUA), and to analyze its influencing factors. To provide a basis for the development of targeted improvement measures.Methods:A total of 153 patients with GUA from May. 2023 to Aug. 2023 in the Department of Thyroid Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the study subjects. The general information questionnaire was collected one day before operation, the pain scales were assessed one day and three days after operation, and the pain and numbness scales were assessed one month after operation. The t test or χ2 test was used for comparison of baseline data between groups according to different types of variables. The patients were divided into two groups: less than moderate pain group (two postoperative average VAS scores<4) and more than moderate pain group (two postoperative average VAS scores ≥4). Mild numbness group (postoperative VAS score<4) ; Moderate and severe numbness group (postoperative VAS score ≥4). Multivariate binary Logistic regression was performed with pain discomfort and numbness discomfort as dependent variables to find possible influencing factors. Results:A total of 153 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 125 patients in the moderate pain group; There were 28 patients in the moderate and above pain group. There were 94 patients in the mild numbness group. There were 59 patients in the moderate to severe numbness group. Multivariate binary Logistic regression results showed that, exercise habits ( OR=0.07 95% CI=0.006, 0.409), operation duration ( OR=1.026 95% CI=1.001, 1.054), total drainage volume ( OR=1.122 95% CI=1.07, P<0.05), 1.198), and drainage tube indwelling time ( OR=0.012 95% CI=0.0, 0.187) had an impact on the discomfort of the chest wall approach area, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Gender, BMI, marital status, education, occupation, handed-side surgery, handed-side axillary surgery, smokess and alcohol history, intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospital stay had no effect on the discomfort of chest wall approach area, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:Exercise habits, operation duration, total drainage volume, and drainage duration are independent predictors of discomfort in GUA patients.

Volume loss caused by aging process, diseases, trauma and surgical treatments, could lead to facial depressions, profoundly affecting appearance. Injectable fillers could help to correct this type of disfigurements and are preferred by plastic surgeons and patients due to their quality of minimal invasiveness and better delicateness. Among these fillers, collagen stimulators such as poly-L-lactic acid(PLLA) and polycaprolactone(PCL) are biodegradable synthetic polymers that can stimulate collagen formation and thus gradually restore tissue volume. These polymers have been used worldwide to treat facial aging changes and human immunodeficiency virus-associated facial fat lipoatrophy, demonstrating ideal results in volume enhancement and facial rejuvenation. The progress and clinical applications of compound injectables based on biodegradable collagen stimulators are summarized.

The formation of learning and memory is regulated by synaptic plasticity in hippocampal neurons. Here we explored how gestational exposure to dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid commonly used in clinical practice, has lasting effects on offspring's learning and memory. Adult offspring rats of prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) displayed significant impairments in novelty recognition and spatial learning memory, with some phenotypes maintained transgenerationally. PDE impaired synaptic transmission of hippocampal excitatory neurons in offspring of F1 to F3 generations, and abnormalities of neurotransmitters and receptors would impair synaptic plasticity and lead to impaired learning and memory, but these changes failed to carry over to offspring of F5 and F7 generations. Mechanistically, altered hippocampal miR-133a-3p-SIRT1-CDK5-NR2B signaling axis in PDE multigeneration caused inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission, which might be related to oocyte-specific high expression and transmission of miR-133a-3p. Together, PDE affects hippocampal excitatory synaptic transmission, with lasting consequences across generations, and CDK5 in offspring's peripheral blood might be used as an early-warning marker for fetal-originated learning and memory impairment.
