Radionuclides can be hazardous by absorbed through the skin, respiratory and digestive tracts. Chelating agents and adsorbents already could effectively remove them, however traditional chelators have side effects such as nephrotoxicity, teratogenicity, and embryotoxicity. As a new type of nuclide adsorbent, polysaccharide has the advantages of safety, biocompatibility, and high clearance rate. In this paper, the main types and perniciousness of radionuclides, and the latest research of polysaccharides in radionuclide removal were summarized. The application of polysaccharide as an effective adsorption molecule for radio nuclides in nuclear wars, nuclear accidents and other sudden nuclear events is promising.

AIM:To explore the intensity-dependent effects of exercises to alleviate fear memory generaliza-tion in post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)and the underlying mechanism.METHODS:Male C57 BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the control group,PTSD group,high-intensity exercise(PTSD-High)group,and low-intensity exer-cise(PTSD-Low)group.PTSD model were created via using a combination of conditioned foot shock(CF)and single-pro-longed stress(SPS).The contextual fear test was used to test the mice's ability to discriminate safety situations from fear condition.Immunofluorescence observed and quantified the newborn immature neurons in the DG area of the mice's hippo-campus.ELISA was used to determine the secretion level of serum tissue adiponectin.RESULTS:(1)The immobility times for the PTSD-High and Control groups were significantly lower than those of the PTSD group.(2)Immunofluores-cence analysis showed that the cell density,dendritic branching points and length of newborn immature neurons were ele-vated in High and Low groups compared to the PTSD group.(3)Adiponectin levels in the serum of the control and PTSD-High group were significantly higher than those in the PTSD group and PTSD-Low group.CONCLUSION:Fear memory establishment in PTSD mice is associated with decreased hippocampal neurogenesis.High-intensity exercise ameliorated fear memory by enhancing adiponectin secretion and promoting hippocampal neurogenesis.High-intensity exercise exerted better improvement of brain functions to PTSD model.

AIM: To compare the clinical outcomes of trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification intraocular lens implantation with suture-guided penetrating Schlemm canaloplasty combined with phacoemulsification intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of primary open angle glaucoma(POAG).METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 53 cases(53 eyes)with advanced-stage POAG and cataract that received surgery at our hospital from June 2021 to June 2022, among which 26 eyes underwent trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation(group A), and 27 eyes underwent suture-guided penetrating Schlemm canaloplasty combined with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation(group B). The best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure, and the number of intraocular pressure lowering drugs were compared between the two groups. Furthermore, the intraoperative and postoperative complications and success rate of surgery were recorded.RESULTS: The intraocular pressure of two groups of patients at 1 wk, 1, 3 and 6 mo after surgery were lower than that before preoperatively(all P<0.017). There was a notable disparity in the frequency of anterior chamber hemorrhage between the two groups(P<0.05), but there was no significant variance in the occurrence of superficial anterior chamber and choroid detachment(all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in BCVA(LogMAR)between the two groups at 6 mo after surgery(group A: 1.29±1.19, group B: 0.78±1.01, P=0.098), and there was no significant difference in the number of anti-glaucoma drugs [group A: 0(0, 2.75), group B: 0(0, 1), P=0.209]. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the success rate of surgery between the two groups at 6 mo postoperatively(Z=0.448, P=0.654).CONCLUSIONS: Suture-guided penetrating Schlemmcanaloplasty is a safe and effective treatment for advanced-stage POAG, with a success rate comparable to that of trabeculectomy.

Objective To understand the molecular epidemiological characteristics of Norovirus outbreaks and the genome evolution of Norovirus epidemic strains in Hainan Province from 2020 to 2022.Methods The information and samples have been collected from the norovirus outbreaks from 2020 to 2022.Norovirus was detected by using the real-time PCR in these samples,then the detected sequences were amplified the analyzed.The Norovirus se-quences of 8 strains had been amplified and analyzed.Results From 2020 to 2022,39 gastroenteritis outbreaks were reported,and 25 outbreaks caused by Norovirus which mainly occurred in childcare institutions and schools(20/25,80％).The Norovirus outbreaks were mainly concentrated in counties around Haikou(northeast),which including Ding'an(5 cases),Wenchang(4 cases),Chengmai(4 cases),and Lingao(3 cases);following by western regions which included Baisha(2 cases),Ledong(2 cases),and Dongfang(3 cases).1 case was in Wanning in the southeast.Among individuals aged 2-17,the positive proportion of Norovirus in males was higher than that in females.Among individuals aged over 55,the proportion of Norovirus positive in females was higher than that in males.The gender of positive samples among individuals aged 18-40 was related to their profession.According to RT-PCR typing and sequencing,GⅡ group Norovirus were classified in13 outbreaks.There were 4 genotypes detected.GⅡ.2[P1 6]was the main epidemic strain with 60％(9/13),and the other three genotypes were GⅡ.4 Sydney[P31](15.4％,2/13)GⅡ.4 Sydney[P16](7.7％,1/13)and GⅡ.3[P12](7.7％,1/13).Further genic analysis of 8 Norovirus strains showed that all of them were still in the same branch as the previ-ous strain,and all exhibited a certain amount of amino acid variation.Conclusion Norovirus is the main pathogen of gastroenteritis outbreaks in Hainan province,and the main epidemic strain is GⅡ.2[P16].It is necessary to continue to strengthen the monitoring that provides scientific evidence for the prevention and control of norovirus out-breaks in Hainan region.

Chemotherapy is one of the major approaches for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer, although it is limited by the low tumor delivery efficacy of anticancer drugs. Bacterial therapy is emerging for cancer treatment due to its high immune stimulation effect; however, excessively generated immunogenicity will cause serious inflammatory response syndrome. Here, we prepared cancer cell membrane-coated liposomal paclitaxel-loaded bacterial ghosts (LP@BG@CCM) by layer-by-layer encapsulation for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer. The preparation processes were simple, only involving film formation, electroporation, and pore extrusion. LP@BG@CCM owned much higher 4T1 cancer cell toxicity than LP@BG due to its faster fusion with cancer cells. In the 4T1 breast cancer metastatic lung cancer mouse models, the remarkably higher lung targeting of intravenously injected LP@BG@CCM was observed with the almost normalized lung appearance, the reduced lung weight, the clear lung tissue structure, and the enhanced cancer cell apoptosis compared to its precursors. Moreover, several major immune factors were improved after administration of LP@BG@CCM, including the CD4⁺/CD8a⁺ T cells in the spleen and the TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-4 in the lung. LP@BG@CCM exhibits the optimal synergistic chemo-immunotherapy, which is a promising medication for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate possible neuromodulatory mechanisms involved in the involvement of parvalbu-min(PV)expression in the basal ganglia output nuclei,entopeduncular nucleus(EPN)and substantia nigra pars etic-ulata(SNr),in exercise-induced chronic fatigue impairs working memory capacity.Methods:Male SD rats were divid-ed into control group and Fatigue group by random number method,and a three-stage incremental load treadmill training program was selected to establish a chronic exhaustion exercise-induced fatigue rat model.The working memory ability of rats was assessed by the Y-maze autonomous alternation experiment.Immunohistochemical staining was used to ob-serve the expression of parvalbumin(PV)positive neurons and cysteine aspartate-specific protease-3(caspase-3)in EPN and SNr of rats.Results:The accuracy of voluntary alternation in the fatigue group was obviously lower than that in control group(P＜0.05).The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the density of PV positive neu-rons and the degree of positive fiber staining in EPN and SNr in the fatigue group were obviously lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The number of caspase-3 positive cells per unit area of EPN and SNr in the fa-tigue group was obviously higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion:The mechanism of impairing working memory in rats caused by exercise-induced chronic fatigue may be related to the apoptosis of PV posi-tive neurons in EPN and SNr.

BACKGROUND:Combined radiation and wound injury appeared mainly in patients with tumor radiotherapy and nuclear radiation accidents.The radiation destroys the repair mechanism,resulting in delayed or prolonged wound healing.It still lacks an effective therapeutic strategy currently. OBJECTIVE:To prepare multifunctional wound dressings based on the multiple clinical symptoms of combined radiation and wound injury,which are designed to be antibacteria,promoted healing and analgesics. METHODS:Using levofloxacin,fibroin and lidocaine hydrochloride as raw materials,3D bioprinting technology was applied to prepare the multifunctional wound dressing.(1)The multifunctional dressing was placed on a fixed culture plate coated with Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and incubated at 37 ℃ overnight to detect the diameter of the antibacterial zone.(2)40 Kunming mice were randomly divided into trauma group,radiation and trauma model group,treatment group and positive drug group,with 10 mice in each group.Mice in the radiation and trauma model group,treatment group and positive drug group were irradiated by 60Co gamma rays.After 1 hour of radiation,a full-layer skin defect wound with a diameter of 1 cm was made on the back of each mouse in the four groups.Normal saline was applied to the wounds of the trauma group and the radiation and trauma model group.Trethanolamine cream was applied to the wounds of the positive drug group.Multifunctional dressing was applied to the wounds of the treatment group.The dressing was changed every 2 days,and the treatment was continued for 14 days.Wound healing rate and serum interleukin-6 level were measured at 3,7 and 14 days after wound modeling.14 days after the wound modeling,the skin tissue of the wound was obtained and received hematoxylin-eosin staining,Masson staining and cytokeratin-14 immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)3D-printed multifunctional wound dressing had good antibacterial activity.The antibacterial zone diameters against Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were(4.15±0.09),(4.18±0.23)and(4.35±0.13)cm,respectively.(2)With the extension of modeling time,the wound healed gradually.The wound healing rate of the treatment group and the positive drug group was higher than that of the radiation and trauma model group at 3,7 and 14 days after modeling(P<0.01,P<0.001).The wound healing rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the positive drug group.With the extension of modeling time,the serum interleukin level of mice increased first and then decreased.The serum interleukin level in the treatment group at 3,7 and 14 days after modeling was lower than that in the radiation and trauma model group.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining exhibited that inflammatory cells infiltrated the granuloma tissue in the trauma group,and the dermal collagen fibers were densely arranged.The normal structure of epidermis and dermis was destroyed and inflammatory cells were infiltrated in the radiation and trauma model group.In the treatment group,normal skin mucosal tissue was observed,the epidermis was arranged closely,and the sweat glands,hair follicles and dermal collagen fibers were arranged regularly.In the positive drug group,the arrangement of epidermal layer was tight,and the arrangement of sweat glands,hair follicles and dermal collagen fibers was regular.Cytokeratin-14 immunohistochemical staining displayed that the epidermal tissue thickness in the treatment group was lower than that in the other three groups(P<0.01,P<0.001).(3)The results confirm that the 3D-printed multifunctional dressing has multiple functions of local anesthesia,anti-infection and promoting healing.

Objective To evaluate the quality of animal studies into acupuncture for glaucoma using SYRCLE's risk of bias tool,ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines,and the GSPC checklist.Methods Databases from CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,Sinomed,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase and Cochrane Library were searched to find animal research articles on acupuncture for glaucoma.Risk of bias was assessed for the included studies using the SYRCLE's tool,and reporting quality was evaluated using the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines and GSPC checklist.Statistical analysis was performed by Excel and SPSS software.Results Thirty articles met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis.Six of the 10 items of the SYRCLE's tool had a low-risk rate of＜50％,and the non-low-risk items focused on selectivity bias,implementation bias and measurement bias.Twelve of the 22 essential sub-items of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines had a low-risk rate of＜50％;9 of the 16 recommended sub-items had a low-risk rate of＜50％;and 12 of the 19 subentries of the GSPC list had a low-risk rate of＜50％.Randomization,blinding,ethical statements,housing and husbandry,animal care and monitoring,and protocol registration were the non-low-risk items in the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines and GSPC list.Conclusions The quality of the methodology and experimental reporting of animal studies into acupuncture for glaucoma are generally low,and the description of several items is not yet complete,which affects the readers'judgment on whether the result of animal studies can be translated to clinical studies.It is advisable to further promote the use of SYRCLE's tool and reporting guidelines for animal experiments to enhance the design,performance,and reporting of animal experiments;ensure the reproducibility of experiments and result;and provide reliable evidence for the translation of result to the clinic.

Objective:To assess the accuracy of two-dimensional (2D) photographs in measuring esthetic parameters of the maxillary anterior teeth by comparing them with measurements obtained from three-dimensional (3D) dental models.Methods:A total of one hundred volunteers (49 males, 51 females, aged 18-23 years) were recruited from School and Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University from January to February 2024. 3D digital models of their dentitions were obtained using an intraoral scanner, and standardized frontal 2D intraoral photographs were captured with a digital camera. The lengths, widths and width/length ratio of the bilateral incisors, lateral incisors and canines were measured on both the 3D digital models and the 2D intraoral photographs. The width ratios of adjacent maxillary anterior were also calculated on the 2D intraoral photographs and the frontal view of 3D digital models.Results:The widths of lateral incisors [(5.85±0.60) mm] and canines [(4.73±0.71) mm] and the lengths of canines [(8.72±0.96) mm] in the 2D intraoral photographs were significantly lower than those in 3D digital models [(6.65±0.59), (7.76±0.60), (8.90±0.86) mm] ( t=-18.24, P<0.001; t=-54.43, P<0.001; t=-4.40, P<0.001), while there were no significant differences in the lengths and widths of the other teeth ( P>0.05). The width/length ratios measured from the 2D intraoral photographs for the lateral incisors and canines (0.74±0.08, 0.55±0.08) were significantly lower than those measured in the 3D digital models (0.84±0.09, 0.88±0.09) ( t=-19.68, P<0.001; t=-50.21, P<0.001), and the width/length ratio of the central incisors showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The width ratios of canines/lateral incisors and lateral incisors/central incisors measured on the 2D intraoral photographs (0.72±0.06, 0.85±0.11) were significantly smaller than those measured in the frontal view of 3D digital models (0.75±0.06, 0.89±0.11) ( t=-9.31, P<0.001; t=-6.58, P<0.001). Conclusions:There is a difference between 2D and 3D measurement results of teeth in the esthetic area and the magnitude of the difference varies with their position in the dental arch. When analyzing the measurement of the anterior teeth, it is necessary to choose the appropriate method according to the target tooth position.
