Objective To detect diatoms in tissues and water samples from drowning cases by gene array,and explore the application value of DNA microarray.Methods Diatoms in the lung,liver,kidney samples,and on-site water samples from 19 drowned corpses that appeared in the rivers of Zhongshan City between July 2021 and April 2022,were detected by gene arrays.Moreover,diatom detection was also performed on 28 samples from 7 corpses by microscope.Then the testing results were compared and analyzed.Results For those 28 samples,diatom types in both tissue and water samples by gene detection were more than those detected by microscopy,the detection was statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the detection of diatom types between tissue samples and water samples both using gene arrays.In terms of tissue samples,diatoms were easier to be detected in lung than liver or kidney,and there were also more types of diatoms detected in lung.Diatom detection by gene arrays showed that the diatom types showed a decreasing trend as the tissue was further away from the entrance of body,and the difference of diatom types increased among tissues.Conclusion The gene array can effectively detect the diatom types and distribution characteristics in drowned corpses,and has great potential in the research of the traceability analysis of corpses found in water and the causes of death.

Objective To investigate the effect of peptidyl arginine deiminase 4(PAD4)on the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from oral bones(OMSC)and craniomaxillofacial development.Methods Immunofluorescence was used to detect the ex-pression of PAD4 in the mandibular of mice E13.5 embryo.A peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 knockout(PAD4-KO)mouse model was constructed.Craniomaxillofacial development was investigated by micro-CT.CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the OMSC proliferation ability and migration ability of PAD4-KO and wild type(WT)mouse.ALP staining was used to detect the changes in OMSC osteogenic differentiation ability.The expression of osteogenesis-related genes was detected by immunofluorescence and PCR assay.Results PAD4 was highly expressed in the mandibular tissue of mouse embryos at E13.5.On the cellular level,PAD4 was ex-pressed in the nucleus and mitochondria of OMSC.Compared to the WT mice,micro-CT showed that PAD4-KO mice had retrusive jaw and decreased mineralization.The proliferation and migration ability of OMSC in PAD4-KO mice were decreased.OMSCs lacking PAD4 had significantly decreased ALP staining level,and the expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes were decreased.In addition,it was found that PAD4 might affect OMSC mineralization by regulating Runx2 transcription.Conclusion PAD4 is expressed in the jaw during embryonic development.It might affect the embryonic development by regulating the proliferation and differentiation of OMSC,leading to craniomaxillofacial abnormalities

This paper systematically searched Chinese and English databases from January 2000 to December 2024 to screen the research literature related to labor positions and biomechanics.By extracting key information such as study type, position type, measurement technique, mechanical parameters and injury findings, we focused on the differences in pelvic outlet expansion, lower limb joint loading and injury risk between upright and horizontal birthing positions, and then summarized the biomechanical mechanisms and findings by using thematic analysis.The analysis showed that the upright position could significantly expand the pelvic outlet, but might increase the load on the ankle and knee joints;the combination of video capture and open-source platform technology provided a new direction for the dynamic study of delivery positions.

Objective To develop a method for rapid determination of the dissolution of cefixime capsules,to explore the consistency of the dissolution curves of the generic and reference preparations in different media,and to assess the reliability of the in vitro dissolution evaluation method according to the results of bioequivalence studies.Methods The dissolution test was performed by the paddle method at 50 r·min-1,using pH1.2 hydrochloric acid solution,pH6.8 phosphate buffer solution,pH7.5 phosphate buffer solution,and water as the dissolution media.And a high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method with a core-shell column was established to determine the dissolution curves of the generic and reference preparations respectively.The bioequivalence of the generic and reference preparations was evaluated through the bioequivalence(BE)test.Results The similarity factors(f2)of the three batches of the generic and reference preparations in the four media were greater than 60.The fasting and postprandial pharmacokinetic parameters(Cmax,AUC0-t,AUC0-∞)of the generic and reference preparations in hu-mans were all in line with the bioequivalence standard.Conclusion The in vitro dissolution behavior of the generic and refer-ence preparations was consistent,and the two preparations were bioequivalent.The method is simple and quick,and it can be em-ployed to measure the dissolution of cefixime capsules,which can provide references for the consistency evaluation of cefixime capsules.

The uPA-uPAR system is highly expressed in various tumor tissues. This system can promote the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins, as well as combine with vitronectin and integrin to transmit intracellular signal transduction. Subsequently, it mediates the occurrence and development of tumors. In recent years, a series of therapeutic programs that target this system has achieved notable results in tumor treatment, and some of them have been under the clinical trial stage, thus providing new ideas for tumor targeted therapy. Therefore, this paper intends to provide a review of research progress on the gene therapy, drug therapy, and immunotherapy targeting uPA-uPAR system.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of azacitidine combined with HAG regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.Methods:Eighteen newly diagnosed elderly AML patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy from July 2019 to September 2021 in the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen were prospectively enrolled in this study. They were non-randomly divided into azacitidine combined with HAG regimen (AZA-HAG) group (9 cases) and decitabine combined with HAG regimen (DEC-HAG) group (9 cases). The primary endpoint of the study was overall response [complete remission (CR)+partial remission], and the secondary endpoints included CR + complete remission with incomplete count recovery (CRi), overall survival (OS) and drug safety. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the OS.Results:The median age of 18 patients was 67 years old (60-77 years old) , and 8 of them were in high-risk group. After one course of treatment, the overall response and CR+CRi were observed in 7 of 9 patients in AZA-HAG group, and they were observed in 8 of 9 patients in DEC-HAG group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (both P = 1.000). The median duration of CR+CRi was 7 months in both groups, and the median OS time was 12 months in both groups; there was no significant difference in OS between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.02, P = 0.895). In AZA-HAG group, 1 patient with TP53 mutation and 1 patient with ASXL1+RUNX1 mutation acquired CR, and 1 patient with NPM1 wild-type combined with FLT3-ITD and ASXL1 mutation did not respond. There was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3-4 hematological adverse reactions between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Azacitidine combined with low-dose HAG regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed elderly AML patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy has satisfactory efficacy and long-term survival, and the adverse reactions can be tolerated.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of venetoclax combined with azacitidine in treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) complicated with monoclonal globulinemia of unknown significance (MGUS).Methods:The clinical data of a patient with MDS complicated with MGUS in the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen in December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the literatures were reviewed.Results:According to results of bone marrow smear, cytogenetics, and next-generation sequencing, the patient was diagnosed as MDS and MGUS complicated with ASXL1, RUNX1, EZH2, STAG2 mutations as well as t(11;14). No response was observed after 2 courses of azacitidine and 1 course of azacitidine plus HAG. Later the patient achieved complete remission and negative RUNX1 and STAG2 mutations after a course of venetoclax combined with azacitidine. Meanwhile, M protein exhibited a decrease more than 50%. To date, the patient was still in complete remission.Conclusions:The regimen of venetoclax combined with azacitidine shows a significant efficacy and good tolerance to patient with co-occurrence of MDS and MGUS with t(11; 14).
