Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Background::B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) therapy yield remarkable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/RMM). Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) reportedly exhibits distinct advantages in addressing the challenges posed by tumor heterogeneity in the distribution and genetic variations in R/RMM.Methods::Herein, the ctDNA of 108 peripheral blood plasma samples from patients with R/RMM at the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University was thoroughly investigated before administration of anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy to establish its predictive potential. Flow cytometry is used primarily to detect subgroups of T cells or CAR-T cells.Results::In this study, several tumor and T cell effector-mediated factors were considered to be related to treatment failure by an integrat analysis, including higher percentages of multiple myeloma (MM) cells in the bone marrow ( P = 0.0125), lower percentages of CAR-T cells in the peripheral blood at peak ( P = 0.0375), and higher percentages of CD8 + T cells ( P = 0.0340). Furthermore, there is a substantial correlation between high ctDNA level (>143 ng/mL) and shorter progression-free survival (PFS) ( P = 0.007). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high levels of ctDNA (>143 ng/mL), MM-driven high-risk mutations (including IGLL5 [ P = 0.004], IRF4 [ P = 0.024], and CREBBP [ P = 0.041]), number of multisite mutations, and resistance-related mutation ( ERBB4, P = 0.040) were independent risk factors for PFS. Conclusion::Finally, a ctDNA-based risk model was built based on the above independent risk factors, which serves as an adjunct non-invasive measure of substantial tumor burden and a prognostic genetic feature that can assist in predicting the response to anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy.

Objective To explore the association and diagnostic performance of liver imaging reporting and data system(LI-RADS)CT signs with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)both in the LI-RADS target population and patients without LI-RADS-defined HCC risk factors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 435 patients with 482 hepatic lesions confirmed by pathology.Of these,306 cases were assigned to the HCC group(327 HCC lesions),and other 129 cases were assigned to the non-HCC group(77 malignancies and 78 benign lesions).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis assessed the diagnostic performance of LI-RADS v2018 CT signs for HCC,and logistic regression analyses determined the association of CT signs with HCC.Results The asso-ciation of CT signs with all HCC lesions was statistically significant for non-peripheral washout[odds ratio(OR)15.1;95％ confi-dence interval(CI)5.6-40.4;P＜0.01]and non-rim arterial phase hyperenhancement(APHE)(OR 12.4;95％ CI 7.5-20.5;P＜0.01)higher than enhanced capsule(OR 9.9;95％ CI 2.8-34.8;P＜0.01;OR 2.4;95％ CI 1.4-3.8;P=0.01).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value(PPV),and area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing HCC were 85％,83％,91％,and 0.84,respectively for non-peripheral washout;82％,77％,88％ and 0.79,respectively for non-rim APHE;and 31％,98％,97％ and 0.65,respectively for enhanced capsule.Sensitivity(88％ vs 87％),specificity(83％ vs 82％),PPV(92％ vs 91％)and AUC(0.90 vs 0.87)were all slightly higher when non-peripheral washout,non-rim APHE,enhanced capsule,and ancillary features were combined for the diagnosis of HCC compared to combining the three major features.Enhanced capsule(OR 13.3;95％ CI 3.6-48.9;P＜0.01),blood products in mass(OR 20.3;95％ CI 2.4-171.4;P＜0.01),and mosaic appearance(OR 37.7;95％ CI 4.2-340.0;P＜0.01)were associations with HCC presenting with atypical imaging features and provided high specificity from 98％ to 99％.Conclusion In theLI-RADS target population and patients without LI-RADS-defined HCC risk factors,LI-RADS v2018 CT signs show excellent diag-nostic performance for HCC.Two ancillary features,blood products in mass and mosaic appearance,show good specificity for HCC with atypical imaging features.

Objective: To analyze the phylogenetic characteristics of VP1 gene of Coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10) isolates from 2004 to 2023, and to understand the genetic evolution and epidemic trends of CVA10, so as to provide references for the prevention and control of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Methods: The full-length sequences of the VP1 region of CVA10 isolates were retrieved from the BV-BRC database before December 15, 2024. Gene typing, sequence analysis, evolutionary analysis, and amino acid mutation site analysis were conducted using bioinformatics software. Results: A total of 1 253 CVA10 isolates VP1 region nucleotide full-length sequences from 2004 to 2023 were included, with 9 strains from 2004 to 2008, 338 strains from 2009 to 2012, and 906 strains from 2013 to 2023. China had the highest number of CVA10 isolates, with 1 143 strains accounting for 91.22%, and the predominant genotype was C3. Compared to the prototype strain, the nucleotide sequence homology of the VP1 region of CVA10 isolates ranged from 74.94% to 77.63%, while the amino acid sequence homology ranged from 88.59% to 93.62%. The third codon position preferred cytosine and thymine. The top three most abundant amino acids were threonine, alanine, and valine. The average relative synonymous codon usage of 30 amino acid codon groups was greater than 1. The average amino acid substitution entropy value was 0.04, with four amino acid mutation-prone sites identified, and the mutation-prone rate was 1.35%. Conclusions From 2004 to 2023, the majority of CVA10 isolates were primarily sourced from China, with genotype C3 being the predominant circulating strain in China. The nucleotide homology between the CVA10 isolates and the prototype strain was relatively low, and mutation-prone sites were identified, indicating that enhanced monitoring of viral variation is necessary.

Based on the practical experience of the Human Sperm Bank, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University, this paper explores the necessity, core content, process, and common challenges of genetic counseling for sperm donors, while proposing optimization strategies. Genetic counseling for sperm donors employs methods such as family history investigation, karyotype analysis, high-throughput gene sequencing, and genetic matching to effectively identify and mitigate hereditary risks in donor-conceived offspring, thereby enhancing the scientific rigor and operability of sperm bank quality control systems. Addressing challenges such as donor acceptance, technological limitations, the complexity of genetic matching, ethical issues and privacy protection, and long-term health monitoring, this paper suggests strategies including optimizing genetic screening protocols, establishing intelligent genetic matching systems, strengthening privacy protection mechanisms, and improving long-term health management. The aim of this paper is to provide a scientific and practical reference for professionals to optimize genetic counseling management in sperm banks, ensuring sperm donor quality and the safety of assisted reproduction.

The aim of this study is to establish an gene editing method of Mesomycoplasma hyo-pneumoniae(Mhp)based on the homologous recombination principle.The restriction enzyme di-gestion and ligation method combined with gene synthesis were used to construct a shuttle plasmid to achieve replication in both Mhp and Escherichia coli(E.coli).The pGEM?-T vector was used as the skeleton.The oriC sequence of Mhp which can achieve the replication of the plasmid in Mhp was inserted into the vector.Sequences of the Spiroplasma promoter and puromycin resistance gene were then inserted into the above constructed plasmid to screen recombinant clones.The up-stream and downstream homologous arms of p97 were constructed to initiate homologous recombination.The recA gene of E.coli is inserted to improve the efficiency of homologous recom-bination.The obtained shuttle plasmid was then delivered into Mhp by electro-transformation or chemical transformation.A shuttle plasmid,pGEM?-Mhp-oriC-p 97,which can replicate in both Mhp and E.coli was constructed.With the transformation of this plasmid,the carried puromycin gene and recA gene can be expressed,the p97 gene can be edited.Finally,the genetically unstable p97 gene mutant was initially obtained.In this study,a tool for Mhp gene editing based on the principle of homologous recombination was established,which laid a foundation for the develop-ment of tools for studying the pathogenesis of Mhp.
