Abstract In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.

Objective:To investigate the effect and preliminary mechanism of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) on the immune response to sepsis induced by liver abscess in mice. Methods:C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with hvKP strain NTUH-K2044 or classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKP) strain HS11286 suspension to prepare the model of sepsis. The survivals rates of mice within 24 h were recorded. HE staining was used to observed the inflammatory cell infiltration in mouse liver tissues. The levels of neutrophil marker lymphocyte antigen 6G (Ly6G) in mouse liver tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes was measured by ROS assay kit. The activation of p105/p50 and p65 in NF-κB signaling pathway in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes was detected by Western blot. The expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α at mRNA and protein levels in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes were detected by qRT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. One-way analysis of variance and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with cKP, hvKP infection could induce C57BL/6 mice to develop obvious liver abscess with massive inflammatory cell infiltration. Moreover, the level of Ly6G in liver tissues was significantly higher in hvKP-infected mice than in cKP-infected mice ( P<0.000 1), but the survival rate of hvKP-infected mice was significantly lower than that of cKP-infected mice ( P<0.000 1). hvKP significantly promoted the ROS activity ( P<0.000 1) and enhanced the phosphorylation of p105/p50 and p65 in NF-κB signaling pathway in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes as compared with cKP ( P<0.001). The expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α at mRNA and protein levels in mouse liver macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes were significantly higher in hvKP-infected mice than in cKP-infected mice ( P<0.001). Conclusion:hvKP can promote the development of liver abscess and induce sepsis in mice.

Mosquito-borne viruses,a class of pathogens primarily transmitted by mosquitoes,present severe glo-bal epidemics and pose serious threats to human health.These viruses rely on specific mosquito species for transmi-ssion,and their clinical manifestations vary from mild symptoms to severe complications.Most viruses lack effective treatment agents and vaccines.This review systematically describes the mechanisms of the mosquito-borne virus in-fection transmission,encompassing two key stages:host infection and mosquito infection.During the host infection stage,saliva components of mosquito promote viral invasion and systemic spread within the host by disrupting host hemostasis process,directly interacting with the virus,altering host cell function,and regulating local immune re-sponse,ultimately targeting specific organs and causing disease.During the mosquito infection stage,the targeting of mosquito is regulated by metabolites from host's skin microbiome.Host blood components and mosquito's gut microbiome exert bidirectional regulation in the infection in mosquito's midgut.The viruses break through the mid-gut barrier to enter the hemolymph and further infect the salivary glands.These mechanisms reveal the viruses' adaptive strategies within the host-mosquito ecosystem and emphasize the importance of multifactorial regulation.Future research should focus on molecular interventions,microbial applications,and integrated prevention and con-trol strategies to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne viral transmission.

To investigate the clinical value of endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture drainage in the treatment for liver abscess and abdominal and pelvic abscess with difficulty in conventional puncture drainage. Data of 12 such patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2015 to November 2023 were retrospectivly analyzed. Results showed liver abscess in 4 cases, abdominal and pelvic abscess in 8 cases. All patients had fever with varying degrees of abdominal pain. Twelve patients with liver abscess and abdominal and pelvic abscess received 13 times of endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture (1 patient with a large abdominal and pelvic cyst complicated with infection received transgastric and transrectal puncture of 2 times). The puncture needle was successfully penetrated into the pus cavity. Four patients with liver abscess underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided suction and irrigation, and the abscess was almost completely aspirated. Seven patients with abdominal and pelvic abscess underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided suction and irrigation, of which 5 cases were almost completely aspirated, and 2 cases had poor drainage effect due to the viscous pus (1 case returned to normal temperature after anti-infection treatment; 1 case had recurrent fever after the operation, and septic shock and death occurred 2 weeks after the operation). A patient with recurrent abdominal and pelvic sclerosis after the operation had multiple abscesses in the abdomen and pelvis, and percutaneous CT-guided drainage was performed for abdominal abscess, but the fever was still repeated. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided balloon dilation plus double pig tail and nasobiliary duct drainage were performed. The patient's temperature returned to normal and abdominal pain was relieved 48 hours after the operation. The total effective rate of abscess drainage was 83.3% (10/12), and the effective rate of suction combined with irrigation for abscess drainage was 81.8% (9/11), and no operation-related complications were observed in all patients. After 3 months of follow-up, no recurrence occurred in 10 patients with effective drainage of abscess, and abscess was self-absorbed in 1 patient with pelvic abscess without effective drainage and no recurrence was observed. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture drainage is of certain clinical value for some liver abscesses and abdominal and pelvic abscesses that are difficult to be drained by conventional puncture, and can reduce the secondary trauma caused by surgical operations.

Objective Based on multi-objective optimization,a design method for Voronoi bionic porous scaffolds tailored to different degrees of bone defects was proposed.Methods First,the effects of design parameters on mechanical and biological properties of the scaffolds were investigated.The response surface models were then established respectively for the design parameters and performance indicators(specific surface area,elastic modulus,yield strength,and permeability).Using a cubic scaffold with side length of 15 mm as an example(assuming a corresponding bone defect of the same dimension),multi-objective optimization of the scaffold was finally conducted using the non-dominated genetic algorithm-Ⅱ algorithm,while considering the elastic modulus and permeability ranges of bone tissues as performance constraints.Results The degree of anisotropy in Voronoi scaffolds was influenced by the number of seed points,while the size and scaling factors of the scaffolds exclusively impacted the rod diameter and rod length.Using the design method of this study,the optimal scaffold with specific defect size satisfying mechanical and biological properties was designed.The optimal scaffold meeting different strength requirements was designed by adjusting the yield strength to change the utopia point.Conclusions A design method for Voronoi bionic porous scaffolds based on multi-objective optimization is proposed.This method can be applied to bone defects at varying degrees and provides a new idea for the personalized design of bone tissue engineering scaffolds.

Objective To systematically review the value of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for diagnosing pulmonary and mediastinal lesions with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were searched by computer to collect the studies of ROSE and EBUS in the diagnosis of pulmonary and mediastinal lesions from inception to August 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Meta-analysis was implemented by RevMan 5.4 and Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 15 studies (9 retrospective studies and 6 prospective studies) with 3 577 patients were included. The meta-analysis results of main outcomes showed that the adequacy of the sample (RD=0.10, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.15, P<0.000 1), overall diagnosis rate (RD=0.07, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.10, P<0.000 1) and the diagnosis rate of the malignant lesion (RD=0.06, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.09, P=0.004) of the ROSE combined with EBUS group were significantly higher than those of the EBUS group. Subgroup analysis showed that the diagnosis rates of pulmonary lesions (RD=0.12, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.17, P<0.000 01) and mediastinal lesions (RD=0.06, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.12, P=0.02) in the ROSE group was significantly higher than those in the EBUS group. The overall diagnosis rate and malignant diagnosis rate of ROSE combined with EBUS were 90% and 92%. The meta-analysis results of secondary outcomes showed that the number of lesions punctures (MD=–1.16, 95%CI –1.89 to –0.43, P=0.002) in the ROSE combined with EBUS group were significantly less than that in the EBUS group; there was no statistical difference in operation time (MD=0.09, 95%CI –5.22 to 5.39, P=0.97) or incidence of complications (RD=–0.06, 95%CI –0.13 to 0.01, P=0.1) between the two groups. Conclusion ROSE can improve the diagnostic efficiency of EBUS in pulmonary and mediastinal lesions, and has the value of the clinical application.
