Objective:To compare the curative effect of local anesthesia Lichtenstein, modified Kugel and general anesthetic transabdominal preperitoneal(TAPP) hemioplasty in the treatment of primary unilateral inguinal hernia in elderly patients.Methods:Six hundred and twenty-one patients with unilateral primary inguinal hernia admitted at Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023 were randomly divided into 3 groups before operation: Lichtenstein group, Modified-Kugel group, TAPP group,207 patients in each group. The clinical data were compared.Results:The average operation time of the Lichtenstein and modified Kugel hernia repair groups was significantly shorter than that of TAPP group ( P<0.01), and the hospitalization cost was also significantly lower than that of TAPP group. The postoperative pain score, time spent in the ground and hospital stay in TAPP group were significantly lower than those in Lichtenstein and modified Kugel groups ( P<0.05). There were no serious complications in the 3 groups. Conclusions:Three kinds of hernia repair are all safe and effective in the treatment of elderly patients with unilateral primary inguinal hernia. TAPP has lighter postoperative pain and quicker recovery. Lichtenstein and Modified-Kugel hernia repair under local anesthesia are suitable for those who cannot tolerate general anesthesia.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac combined with intraperitoneal onlay mesh(IPOM)and local anesthesia Lichtenstein repair for the treatment of inguinal hernia after total cystectomy in male patients.Methods A total of 59 male patients who underwent total cystectomy were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups:the laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac combined with IPOM group(IPOM group,30 cases)and the local anesthesia Lichtenstein repair group(local anesthesia group,29 cases).The patient age,surgical time,postoperative ambulation time,visual analogue scale score for pain on the 1st to 3rd days and 3 months after operation,time to first mobilization post-operation,pain scores on postoperative day 1,2 and 3,pain scores at 3 months post-operation were observed and compared between the two groups.Data of intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,time to return to daily activities,total surgery costs,recurrence rates at 1 year after operation and complications were also observed and compared in two groups of patients.The results were analyzed to determine the optimal surgical method.Results The IPOM group demonstrated better outcomes in terms of surgical time,time to first mobilization,pain scores on postoperative days 1,2 and 3,pain scores at 3 months,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay and time to return to daily activities compared to those of the local anesthesia group(P＜0.01).However,the total cost of the operation was higher in the IPOM group than those of the local anesthesia group(P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in postoperative complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).The recurrence rate of the IPOM group one year after surgery was better than that of the local anesthesia group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic IPOM with high ligation of the hernia sac is superior to the traditional Lichtenstein repair in reducing postoperative pain and recurrence rates.This surgical method should be the first choice when economic conditions permit.

Porcine deltacoronavirus(PDCoV)is the main pathogen of porcine deltacoronavirus dis-ease.After infection,pigsmanifest a series of main symptoms,such as persistent vomiting,watery diarrhea and severe dehydration.Pigs at almost all growth stages are likely to be infected with the virus,especially suckling piglets are much sensitive to the virus.Once PDCoV infects the host,it u-sually causes significant immunosuppression.In recent years,studies on the immunosuppressive mechanism of PDCoV have gradually attracted widespread attention.The results showed that mul-tiple proteins of PDCoV were involved in the regulation of host innate immunity,revealing the mechanism of these proteins in regulating host innate immunity.In this paper,the interaction mechanism between PDCoV protein and host innate immunity were rsummarized,which will pro-vide a theoretical basis for further understanding the pathogenesis of PDCoV and effective preven-tion and control of porcine delta coronavirus disease.

To establish a TaqMan-based multiplex RT-qPCR method for the identification of Japa-nese encephalitis virus(JEV),Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV),and Classical swine fever virus(CSFV),this study designed and synthesized three pairs of specific primers and probes based on the conserved sequences of JEV E,PRRSV ORF6,and CSFV E2 a-vailable in the NCBI GenBank.By optimizing the reaction system and protocol,a multiplex RT-qPCR method for detecting these three viruses was developed and applied to the detection of clini-cal samples.The results showed that the established TaqMan multiplex RT-qPCR specifically am-plified the gene fragments of JEV,PRRSV,and CSFV,and did not amplify other non-target genes,indicating good specificity of the method.Intra-assay and inter-assay repeatability tests showed that the coefficient of variation(Cv)values were all below 3％,demonstrating that the method has ex-cellent repeatability.Sensitivity tests revealed that the minimum detectable amount for the recom-binant plasmids of the three viruses was 100 copies/pL.Using the established method,a total of 969 samples,including blood,aborted fetuses,semen,and deceased pigs,from 26 pig farms in Guizhou Province were tested.The detection rates were 34.3％(332/969)for JEV,28.3％(274/969)for PRRSV,and 19.8％(192/969)for CSFV.The co-infection rates were 10.1％(98/969)for JEV and PRRSV,12.1％(117/969)for JEV and CSFV,and 14.6％(141/969)for CSFV and PRRSV.Additionally,the triple co-infection rate of JEV,PRRSV,and CSFV was 7.9％(77/969).These results indicate that the TaqMan multiplex RT-qPCR method developed in this study is ef-fective for detecting these three viruses in pig farms,providing technical support for identifying vi-ral causes of reproductive disorders.

Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV)belongs to the genus Flavivirus and the family Flavi-viridae,and is classified as a single-stranded,positive-sense RNA virus.The disease known as Japa-nese encephalitis(JE),which results from JEV infection,is a viral zoonosis that is prevalent worldwide and poses a significant public health concern.JEV infection activates a variety of signa-ling pathways,leading to a series of changes that are crucial to the virus's pathogenesis.Among these pathways,Toll-like receptors(TLRs)are particularly significant,and their diverse range and complex signal transduction mechanisms present substantial challenges for the prevention and con-trol of JEV.Currently,there is no specific treatment for JEV.Although some vaccines have been developed to prevent JE,eradicating JEV remains difficult due to its zoonotic transmission cycle and the limited efficacy of the available vaccines.This article reviews the alterations in various TLR signaling pathways induced by JEV infection in the host,aiming to provide insights into the patho-genic mechanisms of JEV and to identify potential new antiviral targets.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)is the pathogen of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome(PRRS),and its infection mainly causes abortion,stillbirth in sows and piglet respiratory infections,which are widely prevalent in the world and seriously jeopardize the development of the world's animal husbandry industry.PRRSV infection of the host is capable of inducing significant immunosuppression,and in recent years,the study of the mecha-nism of PRRSV immunosuppression has become a hot topic,with studies showing that numerous PRRSV proteins are involved in the regulation of host innate immunity and elucidating the mecha-nism by which PRRSV proteins modulate host innate immunity.In this paper,we reviewed the progress of research on the interaction mechanism between PRRSV proteins and host innate im-munity to provide a theoretical basis for a comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of PRRSV and the prevention and control of PRRS.
