Objective To investigate the expression of circular-RNA DDX5(circ-DDX5)in breast cancer tissues and its relationship with the clinical stage of breast cancer patients,and to analyze the regulatory mechanism of circ-DDX5 on the proliferation and invasion of human breast cancer cell line.Methods The expression level of circ-DDX5 in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with the clinical stage of breast cancer patients were analyzed by TCGA database.Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene experiments verified the targeting rela-tionship between circ-DDX5 and miR-3940.The correlation between circ-DDX5 and miR-3940 expression in breast cancer tissues was analyzed by TCGA database.The expression level of circ-DDX5 in breast cancer SK-BR-3,MDA-MB-231,BT-549,MCF-7,and HCC-1937 cells was detected by RT-qPCR.The circ-DDX5 over-expression plasmid and negative control plasmid were transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells,which were named circ-DDX5 group and NC group,respectively.The proliferation and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in the circ-DDX5 group and the NC group were detected by colony formation assay and Transwell assay.The expressions of proliferation pheno-type protein and invasion phenotype protein of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by Western blot.The expression level of miR-3940 in MDA-MB-231 cells of circ-DDX5 group and NC group was detected by RT-qPCR.Results The expression of circ-DDX5 in breast cancer tissues was lower than that in adjacent tissues(P＜0.01)and the ex-pression level of circ-DDX5 was negatively correlated with the clinical stage of breast cancer patients(P＜0.01).There was a targeting relationship between circ-DDX5 and miR-3940(P＜0.01).The expression of circ-DDX5 and miR-3940 in breast cancer tissue was negatively correlated(P＜0.01).The expression of circ-DDX5 in human breast cancer cell lines was lower than that in immortalized breast epithelial cells MCF-10A(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the NC group,the over-expression of circ-DDX5 could significantly inhibit the proliferation and in-vasion of MDA-MB-231 cells(P＜0.01),as well as the proliferation phenotype proteins(cyclin C,CDK3)and in-vasion phenotype proteins(Snail,vimentin)expression(P＜0.01)and miR-3940 expression(P＜0.01).Conclu-sions The expression of circ-DDX5 in breast cancer tissues and cells is low.circ-DDX5 inhibits the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by targeting the expression of miR-3940.

Objective To perform laboratory detection and molecular traceability analysis on a case of imported kala-azar in Shenzhen to determine the infection strain. Methods Bone marrow puncture fluid and blood samples from a case of kala-azar in Shenzhen were collected for laboratory tests. The patient's bone marrow puncture fluid smears were stained with Giemsa and examined under a microscope. Blood samples were examined for antibodies using the rk39 visceral leishmania rapid diagnostic reagent. Whole blood DNA was extracted, and the ITS-1 sequence was amplified by PCR, sequenced and aligned, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the ITS-1 sequence. Results Microscopic examination of the patient's bone marrow smears revealed a large number of Leishmania amastigotes without flagella, confirming the diagnosis of kala-azar. The patient's blood was tested positive with the rk39 rapid diagnostic reagent, and PCR amplification yielded an ITS-1 gene product sequence that matched the expected size. Sequence alignment with the NCBI database showed 100% sequence similarity with the ITS-1 gene sequence of Leishmania infantum, confirming the infecting strain as Leishmania infantum. Phylogenetic tree construction of the amplified ITS-1 sequence revealed clustering into a clade with Leishmania infantum , and close to KC347299, one of the reference sequence selected. Conclusions The case of kala-azar in Shenzhen was caused by Leishmania infantum. Kala-azar still occurs in China, so the diagnostic technology of medical personnel in non-epidemic areas should be strengthened so that they can actively use new diagnostic technologies to assist in diagnosis, thus improving their prevention and control ability of Leishmania parasites.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To explore the clinical effect and nursing cooperation of the new robot-assisted puncture system RC120 in CT-guided lung puncture biopsy,so as to provide practical basis for the promotion and utilization of the new robot-assisted puncture system.Methods Using random sampling method,a total of 29 patients,who received robot-assisted lung puncture at the Shanghai Municipal Pulmonary Hospital of China between January and June of 2022,were collected as the study group,while other 29 patients,who received traditional manual lung puncture under CT guidance in the same period,were collected as the control group.For the patients of the control group traditional nursing was implemented,while for the patients of the study group on the basis of traditional nursing the additional targeted nursing care was carried out.The accuracy of puncture localization,satisfaction with the nursing care,and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The accuracy of puncture localization in the study group was 5.0 mm(3.6-6.2 mum),which was better than 6.4 mm(4.0-8.4 mm)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-2.179,P=0.034).The patient satisfaction score in the study group was(91.1±1.6)points,which was significantly higher than(82.2±1.7)points in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=21.047,P＜0.001).In the study group 2 patients developed complications with an incidence of 6.9％,while in the control group 8 patients developed complications with an incidence of 27.6％,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.350,P=0.037).Conclusion The implementation of targeted nursing care can reduce the risk of complications caused by CT-guided lung puncture with RC120 auxiliary puncture system,improve the accuracy of puncture localization,and improve patient satisfaction with nursing care,therefore,the targeted nursing care deserves promotion in clinical practice.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:549-553)

Sex determination region of Y chromosome related HMG-box gene（SOX）was a group of related transcription factors with similar structures. In SOX family genes，SRY is the determinant gene of mammalian gonadal differentiation，which directly determines the direction of testis differentiation. SOX9 is an essential gene that initiates the development of testis during the process of sex differentiation. SOX8 and SOX2 also participate in sexual development and maintenance of male reproductive function. Similar to the SRY gene，these SOX family genes all have one high mobility group（HMG）domain. The product of HMG domain binds and bends specific target DNA. This article reviews the role of SOX family genes（SRY，SOX9，SOX8，SOX2）in male sex determination and male reproductive function.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze and understand the mutations of drug resistance genes in imported Plasmodium falciparum in Shenzhen, aiming to assess the efficacy of antimalarial drugs and guide effective drug use. Methods A total of 85 samples from individuals with imported Plasmodium falciparum confirmed by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Shenzhen from 2022 to 2023 were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. Nested PCR was used to amplify resistance genes, including Plasmodium falciparum Kelch 13 (PfK13), multidrug resistance gene 1 (Pfmdr1), chloroquine resistance transporter (Pfcrt), dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr), and dihydropteroate synthase (Pfdhps) genes. Bidirectional sequencing was conducted, and mutations in these resistance genes were analyzed using MEGA11.06 software. Results　The study found one missense mutation (S549P) and four synonymous mutations in PfK13. For Pfmdr1, 62.69% of the samples showed Y184F mutation, and no N86Y mutation was detected. No mutations at positions 72 and 73 were detected in the Pfcrt gene, while mutations at M74I, N75E, and K76T accounted for 17.46%, 15.87%, and 15.87%, respectively. The wild-type of Pfcrt gene is dominant (82.54%, 52), followed by the triple mutant I74E75T76 (15.87%, 10). The most common mutation type for Pfdhfr is I51R59N108 (91.78%, 67), followed by the wild type (2.74%, 2). More than half (60.32%, 38) of the Pfdhps samples were wild-type, with single mutation K540E being the most common mutation type. S436A, G437A, K540E, A581G, A613S, I431V, G556K, and G579E site mutations were detected. Among the Pfdhfr-Pfdhps combination mutations, I51R59N108-E540 was the most frequent combination mutation (11.48%), with 59.02% of samples showing solitary Pfdhfr mutations. Conclusions In this study, PfK13 mutation rates were low, with no reported resistance mutations. The Y184F mutation emerged as the dominant Pfmdr1 mutation, with no detection of N86Y. For Pfcrt, the wild-type was dominant, followed by the I74E75T76 triple mutation variant. Triple mutant I51R59N108 of Pfdhfr was very common, and our study did not find Pfdhfr Pfdhps completely resistant and super resistant mutants, but there were other quintuple and septuple mutant types. In the future, it is crucial to continue to strengthen the monitoring of malaria parasite resistance genes and to further integrate in vivo efficacy monitoring to effectively guide clinical drug use.

Objective To explore the correlation between the total imaging burden of cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)and heart rate variability(HRV)in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods A total of 256 elderly patients with hypertension admitted to Department of Neurolo-gy,Changzhou Second People's Hospital form September 2021 to December 2022 were consecu-tively recruited in this study.According to the total brain MRI burden,they were divided into scored 0-2 group(180 cases)and 3-4 group(76 cases).Their general clinical data and HRV parameters were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between HRV and total CSVD burden in these patients,and Spearman correlation analysis was employed used to analyze the correlation between HRV and to-tal CSVD burden,and between blood pressure variability and HRV.Results Older age,longer course of hypertension,and higher homocysteine level were observed in the group of scored 3-4 than the group of 0-2(P＜0.01).The former group had significantly lower SDNN,SDANN,ASDNN,rMSSD,PNN50,LF and HF when compared with the latter group(all P＜0.01).But there was no statistical difference in LF/HF ratio between the two groups(P＞0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that SDNN(OR=0.989,95％CI:0.979-0.999,P=0.034),SDANN(OR=0.988,95％CI:0.977-0.999,P=0.039)and rMSSD(OR=0.965,95％CI:0.938-0.994,P=0.016)were independent risk factors for total burden of severe CSVD in elderly hypertensive patients.Spearman correlation analysis showed that SDNN,SDANN,ASDNN,rMSSD,PNN50,LF and HF were negatively correlated with the total CSVD burden(P＜0.01);the standard deviation of 24-h SBP was negatively correlated with SDNN,SDANN and rMSSD(P＜0.01);the coefficient of variation of 24-h SBP was negatively correlated with SDNN,SDANN and rMSSD(P＜0.01).Conclusion HRV is an independent risk factor for total burden of severe CSVD in elderly hypertensive patients,and HRV parameters are negatively correlated with the to-tal CSVD burden.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.
