Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety profile of antaitasvir phosphate combined with yiqibuvir in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) of various genotypes, without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:394 cases with CHC from 22 centers were collected from October 2021 to April 2023. They were randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drugs (antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg) or placebo treatment in a 3∶1 ratio. The patients were administered drugs once a day for 12 consecutive weeks, and then followed up for 24 weeks after treatment cessation. All subjects were unblinded at the four-week follow-up following drug discontinuation, with the experimental drug group continuing to complete subsequent post-discontinuation follow-up. The placebo group was switched to receive the experimental drugs for a repeated 12-week treatment period and followed up for another 24 weeks after discontinuation of the drug (placebo delayed treatment phase).The sustained virologic response rate (SVR12) was observed for subjects in the double-blind phase and the placebo delayed-treatment phase at 12 weeks after treatment cessation.Virological resistance analysis was performed on subjects who failed treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The number and percentage of subjects who achieved "HCV RNA

[Objective]To explore the clinical characteristics of neurobrucellosis in Kashi,Xinjiang Uygur Autono-mous Region,thus improve the diagnosis and treatment.[Methods]A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 18 cases of neurobrucellosis who were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Kashi Prefecture between Decem-ber 2019 and January 2024.[Results]The study included 9 males and 9 females,with a median age of 36 years(range:17-54.5).A clear epidemiological history was found in all the 18 brucllosis patients,12 of whom presented with meningo-encephalitis,5 meningitis,and 1 encephalitis.Two comorbided with spinal meningitis,2 osteoarthritis and 1 epididymitis.Most frequently reported clinical symptoms were headache,fever and fatigue.The prevalence rates of brucellosis by rose bengal plate agglutination test(RBPT)and serum agglutination test(SAT)were 11/12 and 8/9,respectively.Two of 10 patients had positive blood cultures,four of 16 had positive cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)cultures and five of five were detect-ed to be positive by next-generation sequencing(NGS)for pathogens in CSF.CSF showed exudative changes and elevated number of leukocytes,with predominance of single nucleated cells.All patients were treated with the combined use of two to four from the drugs like doxycycline,rifampicin,ceftriaxone,cefixime,minocycline,levofloxacin and sulfanilamide.Most patients had a favorable prognosis.[Conclusions]Neurobrucellosis should be considered in all patients with central nervous system manifestations from endemic areas.If there are exudative changes in CSF,differential diagnoses can be made by serological testing,blood culture,CSF culture and NGS.NGS could significantly increase the accuracy for neuro-brucellosis diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of future orientation and academic engagement between perceived teacher support and academic procrastination in high school students.Methods:From December 2021 to February 2022, a survey was conducted on 550 high school students by the perceived teacher support questionnaire, the adolescent future orientation scale, the academic engagement scale, and the general procrastination scale-for student populations (GPS). Data were entered by EpiData 3.1 software, and SPSS 26.0 software was used to process and analyze the data by one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and Bootstrap method test.Results:The scores of perceived teacher support, future orientation, academic engagement and academic procrastination were (3.77±0.80), (3.22±0.48), (68.11±18.08) and (52.32±11.78) respectively.The results of correlation analysis showed that academic procrastination was negatively correlated with perceived teacher support, future orientation and academic engagement ( r=-0.32, -0.38, -0.49, all P<0.01), while perceived teacher support was positively correlated with future orientation and academic engagement ( r=0.40, 0.43, both P<0.01). Future orientation was positively correlated with academic engagement ( r=0.56, P<0.01). The mediating effect analysis showed that perceived teacher support had a significant direct effect on academic procrastination (effect value: -0.10, 95% CI =-0.19--0.02), accounting for 32.26% of the total effect.The mediating effect between perceived teacher support and academic procrastination was found between future orientation and academic engagement (effect value: -0.05, 95% CI =-0.09- -0.02; effect values: -0.09, 95% CI=-0.15--0.05), accounting for 16.13% and 29.03% of the total effect respectively.Future orientation and academic engagement had a chain mediating effect between perceived teacher support and academic procrastination (effect value: -0.07, 95% CI=-0.10--0.04), accounting for 22.58% of the total effect. Conclusion:Perceived teacher support can influence academic procrastination, not only through the direct path, but also through the indirect path of future orientation and academic engagement, as well as chain mediating path between these two variables.

Objective To construct the lentiviral RNA interference vector targeting TPX2 and to obtain the human cervical cancer HeLa cell strain stably infected by TPX2-shRNA for studying the relationship between human cervical carcinoma and TPX2 gene.Methods By targeting TPX2 gene,four double-stranded DNA hairpin structures corresponding to shRNA were designed,synthesized and connected with Pglv2-U6-Puro to construct the recombinant plasmids.Then these recombinant plasmids were transformed into DH5α competent cells.The positive clone was extracted and transfected into 293T cells for virus packages after sequenced correctly.Human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell infected by these recombinant lentiviral was screened by Puromycin,then stable cell strain was obtained.The silencing effect of TPX2 in HeLa cell was detected by RT-fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot.Cell cycle and cell apoptosis wer detected by Flow cytometry.Results Sequencing results confirmed that 5 lentiviral was packaged successfully.The steady cell strain transfered TPX2-shRNA was screened with 0.4 μg/mL puromycin.HeLa cells infected by recombinant lentivirus all play the gene silencing effect especially in the group of TPX2-shRNA-1.In the group of TPX2-shRNA-1,TPX2mRNA (0.21 ± 0.07) and protein (0.19 ± 0.28) rela tive expression level is lower than those in the control group (1.08±0.07) (P＜0.01) and(0.64±0.03) (P＜ 0.01)respectively;G2 and S-phase cells are higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05)and the apoptosis rate was significantly more than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions The effective TPX2 genetic interference sequence was obtained,lentiviral vectors carrying TPX2shRNA was successfully constructed,and the HeLa cell strain with TPX2 silenced was successfully screened,which lay the research foundation for the study of the role of TPX2 in cervical cancer.

There are some shortcomings of animal experiments applied in chemical toxicity testing, such as long period, large cost, species differences and dose differences, which limit the use of animal experiments' results in predicting human toxicity.Accordingly, we established a toxicity testing alternative screening system in line with the toxicity endpoints which required in chemical safety evaluation and risk assessment (genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, acute toxicity and general toxicity) based on 3R principles (replacement, reduction, refinement) for animal experiments.This system covers most of the endpoints of toxicity assessment, and molecular biology technology was also applied to integrate the toxicity test, as well as some operation was optimized in order to shorten the experimental period, reduce experimental costs, improve animal welfare.Furthermore, the results from the screening system have higher clinical relevance because it is based on the toxicity mechanisms.
