BACKGROUND:Flap transplantation technique is a commonly used surgical procedure for the treatment of severe tissue defects,but postoperative flap necrosis is easily triggered by ischemia-reperfusion injury.Therefore,it is still an important research topic to improve the survival rate of transplanted flaps. OBJECTIVE:To review the pathogenesis and latest treatment progress of flap ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang Database and PubMed database were searched for relevant literature published from 2014 to 2024.The search terms used were"flap,ischemia-reperfusion injury,inflammatory response,oxidative stress,Ca2+overload,apoptosis,mesenchymal stem cells,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathways,shock wave,pretreatment"in Chinese and English.After elimination of irrelevant literature,poor quality and obsolete literature,77 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Flap ischemia/reperfusion injury may be related to pathological factors such as inflammatory response,oxidative stress response,Ca2+overload,and apoptosis,which can cause apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells,vascular damage and microcirculation disorders in the flap,and eventually lead to flap necrosis.Studies have found that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation,platelet-rich plasma,signaling pathway modulators,shock waves,and pretreatment can alleviate flap ischemia/reperfusion injuries from different aspects and to varying degrees,and reduce the necrosis rate and necrosis area of the grafted flap.Although there are many therapeutic methods for skin flap ischemia/reperfusion injury,a unified and effective therapeutic method has not yet been developed in the clinic,and the advantages and disadvantages of various therapeutic methods have not yet been compared.Most of the studies remain in the stage of animal experiments,rarely involving clinical observations.Therefore,a lot of research is required in the future to gradually move from animal experiments to the clinic in order to better serve the clinic.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and prognostic factors of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in Jianyang City from 2020 to 2023. Methods Medical records of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease patients treated in three hospitals in Jianyang City from January 2020 to December 2023 were selected, and their epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for mortality. Results From 2020 to 2023, 23000 cases of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were reported in Jianyang City, with a standardized incidence rate of 508.76/100 000 and a gender ratio of 1.33:1. All diseases and the total standardized incidence rate of men are higher than those of women; ≥ The total incidence rate and all incidence rate of the 85 year old group are the highest; The incidence rate is the highest in 2021, and the incidence rate is the highest in spring and winter. The standardized mortality rate of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was 108.08/100 000, with significant differences among different ages, disease types, and onset seasons (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age, onset season, and disease type were independent risk factors for patient mortality (P<0.05). Conclusion From 2020 to 2023, the standardized incidence rate of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in Jianyang City is higher, which is more common in the elderly population. The risk of men is higher than that of women, and the risk is higher in spring and winter. Age, disease type, and onset season are all directly related to the risk of death. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and optimize emergency treatment work in order to improve patient prognosis.

Flap surgery is a complex surgical procedure that has become an effective method for the treatment of many diseases and traumas. Flap survival is closely related to a variety of factors including cellular autophagy, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) function, and vascular regeneration. Cellular autophagy maintains intracellular homeostasis and plays a key role in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation and promoting injury repair. Excessive oxidative stress and inflammatory responses pose a threat to flaps, affecting their survival and successful transplantation. Endothelial cells are involved in vascular regeneration through proliferation, migration, and production of angiogenic factors, and vascular endothelial growth factor directly promotes blood vessel formation and maintains endothelial cell function.MSCs play an important role in promoting flap survival and tissue repair due to their unique biological properties and multiple mechanisms of action. The multiple roles played by cellular autophagy, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, MSCs function, and vascular regeneration in influencing postoperative flap survival are hereby elaborated. The aim is to provide a basis for the clinical application of regulating the above factors to improve postoperative flap survival, improve the success rate of flap surgery, reduce complications, and bring more hope for the recovery and quality of life of patients.

Objective To understand the status of HIV infection among unpaid blood donors in Hangzhou,and to provide data support for reducing the risk of HIV transmission through blood transfusion,and formulating effective blood donor recruitment and AIDS prevention and control strategies in Hangzhou.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and nucleic acid testing(NAT)were used to detect HIV-I/Ⅱ antibody/antigen and HIV RNA from 902 847 unpaid blood donors in Hangzhou from January 2016 to December 2020.Anti-HIV antibody/antigen or HIV RNA reactive samples were sent to Hangzhou Center for Disease Control(CDC)for further confirmation by Western bloting and NAT.Results A total of 103 HIV positive cases were detected in Hangzhou area from January 2016 to December 2020,with a positive detection rate of 0.01%,101 cases were positive for ELISA and NAT screening,2 cases were negative for ELISA screening and positive for NAT.Among the 103 infected patients,males(91.26%,94/103),18-35 years old(69.90%,72/103),and first-time blood donors(68.93%,71/103)were the majority.The positive rate of HIV among blood donors decreased year by year from 2016 to 2020(χ2=7.181,P=0.007),but there was no significant difference in HIV positive rate between male and female blood donors(χ2=10.336,P=0.350;χ2=0.653,P=0.957).There was no significant difference in HIV positive rate among blood donors of different age groups(χ2=6.378,P=0.173;χ2=2.318,P=0.678;χ2=5.284,P=0.259;χ2=9.183,P=0.057).Conclusion In recent 5 years,HIV infection has been at a low epidemic level among unpaid blood donors in Hangzhou,but there is still an infection risk.It is necessary to strengthen the recruitment of blood donors from low-risk groups,adopt advanced detection technology and select appropriate detection strategies to ensure blood safety.

Objective:To predict and analyze the T/B combined epitope of EM10 protein in Echinococcus multilocularis, and identify the expressed products of the biosynthetic EM10 multi epitopes. Methods:The gene-related information of EM10 protein was obtained through NCBI GenBank public database. Bioinformatics technique was used to predict and analyze the T/B binding epitopes of EM10 protein. The prokaryotic expession recombinant plasmid pET30a-EM10 (epitope) was synthesized, and transformed into host bacteria Ecoli. BL21 (DE3). The expression of EM10 recombinant multi-epitope protein was identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting after induced expression by isopropyl thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Results:The total length of EM10 gene was 1 759 bp (GenBank registration number: U05573), and its protein amino acid sequence (GenBank registration number: AAA50580.1) was 559 amino acids. By using Phyre software for homology modeling, the tertiary structure of EM10 protein was obtained, and the T/B combined epitope of EM10 protein was successfully predicted, the dominant epitope was located at 46 - 61, 133 - 183, 239 - 255 and 442 - 475 amino acid sites. The (GGGGS)n linker sequence was used to connect the epitopes to form an EM10 recombinant multi-epitope protein with a total of 206 amino acid. The size of the DNA fragment was 618 bp and the relative molecular weight of the protein was 22.66 × 10 3. The prokaryotic expession recombinant plasmid was validated by enzyme digestion, the results showed that the plasmid size was between 5 000 and 6 000 bp, which was consistent with the length of the constructed plasmid (5 854 bp). SDS-PAGE showed that the target protein was expressed in the supernatant induced by IPTG at 37 ℃ and the effect was the best. The relative molecular weight of the protein was 22.66 × 10 3 by Western blotting, which was consistent with the constructed plasmid. Conclusions:The combined epitope of EM10 T/B is successfully designed and predicted using bioinformatics technology. A prokaryotic expression recombinant plasmid is constructed, the expression of EM10 recombinant multi-epitope protein is verified through experiments, providing an experimental basis for the construction of an EM10 dominant epitope diagnostic kit.

Objective To observe the alterations in functional complexity of brain regions in autism spectrum disorder(ASD)patients and correlations with the predicted brain age.Methods Open brain resting-state functional MRI(rs-MRI)data of 93 ASD patients and 96 typically developing adolescents(healthy subjects)were downloaded.The functional complexity in brain regions were extracted with self-developed virtual digital brain software,and the alterations in functional complexity of brain regions in ASD patients and correlations with their ages were analyzed.Two networks were prospectively trained with data of 65 ASD patients and 67 healthy subjects as the training set to predict brain age,and the results were evaluated,and the predicting errors were compared using test set,i.e.the other 28 ASD patients and 29 healthy subjects.Results Compared to healthy subjects,on the basis of anatomical automatic labeling(AAL)atlas,ASD patients exhibited significantly reduced functional complexity based on Shannon entropy in the left precuneus,left cuneus and right parahippocampal gyrus.Conversely,functional complexity of ASD patients based on permutation entropy significantly increased in the left cuneus and right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region.The left hippocampus showed reduced functional complexity based on Pearson correlation coefficient,while the left middle temporal gyrus showed increased functional complexity based on Pearson correlation coefficient.The functional complexity in brain regions of ASD patients were not closely correlated with ages(all|r|＜0.4).According to the trained fully connected network,the predicted brain ages of ASD patients and healthy subjects in test set were all lower than their physiological ages,but no significant difference was found between the prediction errors of ASD patients and healthy subjects(P=0.283).Conclusion Functional complexity changed in some brain region functions in ASD patients.The predicted brain ages of ASD patients based on the obtained fully connected network were on the low side,but not obviously affected by the alterations of functional complexity in brain regions.

Objective:To compare and explore the diagnostic performance of adding value of transabdominal and transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS US) risk stratification and management system in differential diagnosis of adnexal masses.Methods:A total of 180 adnexal masses with solid components in 175 women were enrolled retrospectively between September 2021 and November 2022. All patients underwent routine Doppler ultrasound examinations and CEUS examinations. Among these masses, 107 masses underwent with transabdominal CEUS, 58 masses underwent with transvaginal CEUS, and 15 masses underwent both transvaginal and transabdominal CEUS. All patients were scheduled for surgery and pathological results served as the reference standard. Routine Doppler ultrasound and CEUS images and video were reviewed by a subspecialty radiologist using Vuebox software. The O-RADS US was downgraded or upgraded according to the CEUS characteristics of the masses. The diagnostic accuracy was assessed using ROC curve analysis. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the diagnostic performance of adding value of transabdominal and transvaginal CEUS to O-RADS US.Results:The diagnostic performance of adding transabdominal and transvaginal CEUS to O-RADS US were both significantly higher than of O-RADS US alone (transabdominal CEUS: AUC 0.83 vs 0.76, P=0.018; transvaginal CEUS: AUC 0.92 vs 0.81, P=0.013). Combination of transvaginal CEUS and O-RADS US was superior to that of combination of transabdominal and O-RADS US in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses ( P=0.047). When the maximal diameter of adnexal masses ≤40 mm, transabdominal combined with O-RADS US presented the lowest diagnostic performance, with an AUC of 0.73. Conclusions:Combination of transvaginal CEUS and O-RADS US was superior to that of combination of transabdominal and O-RADS US in assessing adnexal masses with solid components. When the maximal diameter of adnexal masses ≤40 mm, transvaginal CEUS examination was recommended.
