Objective To compare functional differences of CD8+T cells in lung tissues between young and aged C57BL/6J mice during the contraction phase and memory immune response phase after infection with influenza A(H1N1)virus.Methods Lung tissues from young(3-month-old)and aged(24-month-old)C57BL/6J female mice without influenza virus infection were collected to prepare single-cell suspensions,which were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA)/ionomycin or cluster of differentiation(CD)3/CD28 antibodies(T-cell antigen receptor/co-stimulatory signals)respectively(non-specific antigens stimulation).Flow cytometry intracellular cytokine staining(ICS)was performed on lung CD8+T cells to detect their secretion capacity of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ).Young and aged C57BL/6J mice were infected intranasally with 490 PFU PR8 influenza virus,and reinfected with homologous influenza virus 28 days later.Lung tissues were isolated on day 28(the contraction phase)and day 32(the memory immune response phase)after primary infection.Influenza virus-specific MHC-Ⅰ tetramer staining was used to detect the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells in lung tissue CD8+T cells,and ICS was used to analyze TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B expression in CD8+CD44high T cell subset.Results After non-specific antigen stimulation,TNF-α and IFN-γ secretion capacity in lung tissue CD8+T cells of aged group mice was significantly higher than that of young group(P＜0.05).After virus-specific antigen stimulation,there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells and the expression levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B between the two groups of mice during the contraction phase(P＞0.05),while during the memory immune response phase,the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells and the expression levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B in the aged group mice were significantly lower than those in the young group(P＜0.05).Conclusion CD8+T cells in aged mice maintain normal immune-related factor expression function under non-specific antigen stimulation,but show impaired immune-related factor expression function during antigen-specific memory immune response phase,suggesting that aging leads to defects in the formation or maintenance of CD8+T cell immune memory.

Objective:To explore more objective detection method for the performance of diagnostic equipment with ultrasound,so as to demonstrate that the subjectivity of the interpretation criteria will affect the results of resolution parameters of detection performance of ultrasonic equipment.Methods:A total of 77 conventional probes of 33 ultrasound equipment of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital were collected and sorted out.The resolution parameters of their performance were tested twice from 2022 to 2023 by the technical personnel of our institute and the tester of Jiangsu Institute of Metrology.The data was described by using the quartiles method.The resolution parameters of performances of ultrasound equipment and probes were paired to conduct Wilcoxon rank sum test,so as to compare the differences in same institute between different years,and in same year between different institute in testing the resolution parameters of performances of ultrasound equipment and probes.Results:For linear array probes,as long as the performance was tested in accordance with the standard method,there was no statistically significant difference in the resolution parameters measured between different institutes and between different times(P>0.05).For the convex array probe,in 2023,the lateral resolution[2(2,2)]of the 70mm target group,and the axial and lateral resolutions[1(1,1)and 3(3,3.25)]of the 120mm target group of our institute were different with the lateral resolution[2(1,2)]of the 70mm target group,and the axial and lateral resolutions[2(2,3)and 2(2,3)]of the 120mm target group of Jiangsu Institute of Metrology,and the differences of them between our institute and Jiangsu Institute of Metrology were significant(Z=-2.887,-2.53,-3.69,P<0.05),respectively.In our institute,the axial and lateral resolutions[1(1,2)and 2.5(2,3)]of the 70mm target group,and the axial resolution[1(1,2)]of the 120mm target group in 2022 were different with the axial and lateral resolutions[1(1,1)and 2(2,2)]of the 70mm target group,and the axial resolution[1(1,1)]of the 120mm target group in 2023,and the differences of them between two years were significant(Z=-3.317,-3.419,-2.982,P<0.05).In Jiangsu Institute of Metrology,the lateral resolutions of the 70mm target group,and the axial resolution[1(1,1)]of the 120mm target group in 2022 year were different with those in 2023 year,and the differences of them were significant(Z=-2.333,-3.051,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The interpretation for lateral resolution of convex array probe in target group with high depth,the difference of subjective interpretation criteria will cause the essential difference of final results.This paper suggested that the key image should be retained when the resolution of the image of target group with high depth of the convex array probe is interpreted.At the later stage,artificial intelligence(AI)-assisted quality control can also be introduced to conduct objective interpretation by computers.

Objective To observe CT and MRI manifestations of gastritis cystica profunda(GCP).Methods Seventeen patients with GCP confirmed by operation or biopsy pathology were enrolled,and lesions'CT and MRI manifestations were observed.Results Among 17 cases,16 cases(16/17,94.12％)were found with single lesion and 1(1/17,5.88％)with diffuse multiple lesions.The lesion located in the fundus of stomach in 5 cases(5/17,29.41％),in the body of stomach in 4 cases(4/17,23.53％),in the cardia and antrum of stomach each in 3 cases(3/17,17.65％)and in the pylorus in 1 case(1/17,5.88％),while 1 case(1/17,5.88％)was found with diffused multiple lesions within stomach.Non-enhance CT showed local thickening of gastric wall in 10 cases(10/17,58.82％),all were isodensities,and the mucosa uniformly enhanced in contrast enhance CT(CECT).Predominately cystic lesion in 5 cases(5/17,29.41％)presented as submucosal cystic protrusions,and grew into the stomach cavity with circular or oblong low density in non-enhanced CT,while sandwich enhancement of mucosa was observed in CECT.Among these 5 cases(5/17,29.41％),MRI showed lesion confined to the submucosa with low signal on T1WI and high signal on T2WI,while diffusion weighted imaging showed unrestricted diffusion,and the enhancement pattern was consistent with that of CT in 2 cases.In other 2 cases(2/17,11.77％)with cystic-solid lesion,non-enhanced CT showed soft tissue density,while CECT showed lump-like stratified enhancement.Conclusion CT and MRI manifestations of GCP had certain characteristics.

Objective To investigate the cellular characteristics in the development of retinal tumors induced by MY-CN overexpression,and to find the key proteins that play an important role in this process.Methods T-MYCN Y1 and Y2 cells cultured in vitro for 1 year and 2 years were selected for the experiment.The WERI-RB-1 cell line obtained from Shanghai Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences was taken as the mature retinoblastoma(RB)control(WERI-Rb-1 group).Untreated normal human retinal tissues were used as the control group.Cells were inoculated into a 24-well plate at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well,and the cell morphology was observed under a microscope and images were collected.Cell count was performed on the 4th,8th and 12th day after inoculation.Immunofluorescence staining was employed to de-tect the expression of the proliferation marker Ki67 and cone cell marker L/M opsin in each group.Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was utilized to assess the expression of MYCN,CCNB1,CDK1,SYK,and RXRγ in cells across all groups.Proteomics analysis was performed to detect variations in protein expression profiles across groups and to identify key regulatory genes.Subsequently,cell growth and proliferation were evaluated after OTX2 knockdown by lentiviruses.Results The growth curve showed that there were(59.17±4.01)× 104 cells in the T-MYCN Y1 group,(85.14±4.54)× 104 cells in the T-MYCN Y2 group and(100.73±1.99)× 104 cells in the WERI-Rb-1 group on the 12th day of in-vitro culture(all P＜0.05).Compared with those in the control group,the positive cell rates of Ki67 and L/M opsin increased in T-MYCN Y1,T-MYCN Y2 and WERI-Rb-1 groups(all P＜0.001).The relative expression levels of MYCN mR-NAs in T-MYCN Y1,T-MYCN Y2 and WERI-Rb-1 groups were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.001).The relative expression levels of CCNB1 and CDK1 mRNAs also increased significantly in the three groups,com-pared with those in the control group(all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the relative expression of SYK mRNAs between T-MYCN Y1 and control groups(P＞0.05).The relative expression level of RXRγ mRNAs was significantly higher in the T-MYCN Y1 group than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of SYK and RXRγmRNAs in T-MYCN Y2 and WERI-Rb-1 groups were significantly increased,compared with those in the control group(all P＜0.05).GO enrichment analysis showed that these differentially-expressed proteins were enriched into protein complex assembly and mitochondria pathways.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that the enriched pathways of these differential-ly-expressed proteins included carbon metabolism,metabolic pathway and fatty acid degradation.Both proteomics and Western blot analyses indicated that OTX2 expression levels were the highest in the WERI-Rb-1 group,second highest in the T-MYCN Y2 group,and the lowest in the T-MYCN Y1 group(all P＜0.01).According to qRT-PCR,the expression levels of OTX2 mRNAs in T-MYCN Y1,T-MYCN Y2 and WRI-Rb-1 cells with OTX2 knockdown were lower than those in empty vec-tor controls(all P＜0.05).The growth curve of cells showed that after knocking down OTX2 in the three groups of cells,both cell growth and proliferation ability decreased significantly(all P＜0.001).Conclusion During the development of retinal tumors induced by MYCN overexpression,cells gradually exhibit characteristics similar to WERI-Rb-1 cells,which are a typical RB cell line.OTX2 plays an important role in MYCN amplification or the growth and proliferation of highly ex-pressed RB.Targeting OTX2 may become a new research direction for the treatment of RB.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.

Objective:To study echinococcosis in the population and canine Echinococcus infection in Yushu City, Qinghai Province, and to explore the current epidemic situation and main transmission species of Echinococcus. Methods:In June 2023, a multi-stage sampling method was used to select 2 villages each in Shanglaxiu Township and Longbao Town, Yushu City, Qinghai Province. Each village included at least 100 permanent residents who had lived locally for at least 1 year and were 2 years old or older as the survey subjects. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum antibodies against Echinococcus larvae in the population, and B-mode ultrasound was used for abdominal organ scanning. Meanwhile, on the main roads of Shanglaxiu Township and Longbao Town, canine feces were collected in designated areas at intervals. ELISA was used to detect the antigen of canine fecal Echinococcus, and PCR was used to detect the types of parasites ( Echinococcus multilocularis, Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus shiquicus). Results:A total of 511 residents were investigated in Yushu City, and the positive rate of serum Echinococcus larvae antibodies in the population was 26.22% (134/511), and the detection rate of echinococcosis B-mode ultrasound was 1.37% (7/511). Among them, the detection rates of B-mode ultrasound for cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) were 1.17% (6/511) and 0.20% (1/511), respectively. The positive rate of Echinococcus antigen in 543 canine feces detected by ELISA was 12.89% (70/543). PCR was used to test 497 canine feces, and the detection rate of Echinococcus was 3.02% (15/497). Among them, the detection rate of Echinococcus multilocularis was higher than that of Echinococcus granulosus [2.82% (14/497) vs 0.20% (1/497)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 11.44, P < 0.001). No Echinococcus shiquicus was detected. Conclusions:The positive rates of Echinococcus larvae antibodies in the population and canine Echinococcus antigen in Yushu City, Qinghai Province are both relatively high. There is a mixed epidemic of CE and AE, with Echinococcus multilocularis being the main species.
