BACKGROUND:A large number of articles have reported the effect and mechanism of platelet-rich plasma and hydrogel in the treatment of spinal cord injury,but few articles have summarized their treatment strategies for spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the pathological process of spinal cord injury and the strategies of repairing spinal cord injury with platelet-rich plasma and hydrogel alone and in combination. METHODS:PubMed and CNKI databases were searched for articles published from inception to March 2024 by computer.The Chinese search terms were"spinal cord injury,platelet-rich plasma,hydrogel."The English search terms were"spinal cord injury,spinal cord,platelet-rich plasma,hydrogel,angiogenesis,neuralgia,combination therapy."Articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,and 128 articles were finally included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The classification of platelet-rich plasma is complex and diverse,and the effects of platelet-rich plasma in the repair treatment of spinal cord injury are various,but they all show certain positive effects,that is,they can promote axon regeneration,stimulate angiogenesis,and treat neuropathic pain and so on.(2)The effect of platelet-rich plasma is mainly due to the growth factors contained in platelet-rich plasma.(3)There are many types of hydrogels,which mainly play the role of filling,simulating extracellular matrix,carrying drugs and biological products,and carrying cells as scaffolds in the repair treatment of spinal cord injury.(4)Compared with single therapy,combination therapy of platelet-rich plasma and hydrogel can promote nerve regeneration and spinal cord function recovery more effectively.

The SVA and different serotypes of VSV(VSNJV and VSIV)are susceptible to infect pigs and cause blister injuries to the lips and hoof of pigs.The clinical symptoms of diseases caused by these viruses are very similar,which is easy to cause misdiagnosis.Therefore,a multiplex nano-PCR method was developed for the simultaneous defection of VSV,VSNJV and VSIV.In this stud-y,three pairs of specific primers were designed according to the SVA-P gene,VSNJV-N gene and VSIV-N gene.The optimal annealing temperature and optimal primer concentration were tested,and the reaction system and conditions were optimized.We have developed a novel,rapid and sensitive multiple nano-PCR detection method for simultaneous detection of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV,which was developed by using nano-metal materials.The specific test results showed that the method could specifically amplify the target genes of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV,with no cross-reactivity to PRV,ASFV,PCV2 and PHEV.The sensitivity test results showed that the minimum nucleic acid detection of the method was 10 copies/μL,which sensitivity was great.In addition,the optimal primers showed good reactivity and stability to different batches of enzymes and plasmids.There were 7 among 50 of diseased pig samples were SVA positive by multiple nano-PCR detec-tion method,and 5 out of 50 of diseased pig samples were SVA positive by ordinary single PCR method.Moreover,no VSNJV and VSIV were detected by the two methods.In conclusion,this es-tablished multiple nano-PCR detection method has higher specificity and sensitivity in the detec-tion of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV.And this study could provide technical support for the rapid differ-ential diagnosis,prevention and control of swine viral vesicular diseases in clinical settings.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of emodin(EMO)on dextran sulfate(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis(UC)in mice.Methods DSS induced UC mouse model,detection of body weight,colon length and histopathological changes.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-10(IL-10),and myeloperoxidase(MPO)levels.Western blot analysis examined the expression of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)/nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway-related proteins.Flow cytometry assessed the ratio of helper T cells 17(Th17)to regulatory T cells(Treg).Additionally,16S rDNA sequencing was employed to evaluate gut microbiota composition.Results Compared with the normal group,DSS-treated mice exhibited significant weight loss,shortened colon length,and marked histological damage(P<0.001).EMO intervention,particularly at high doses,demonstrated dose-dependent improvements in body weight and colon injury(P<0.05).ELISA analysis showed EMO reduced TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 levels while increasing IL-10(P<0.05).Western blot results indicated EMO inhibited abnormal activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway and restored IκB.Conclusion EMO effectively mitigates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis(UC)inflammation and intestinal damage by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway,restoring Th17/Treg balance,and maintaining microbial homeostasis,providing theoretical support for its potential as a UC therapeutic agent.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective To cultivate the ability of laboratory resident physicians in multiple aspects and enhance their post-competence for laboratory medicine.Methods The residents recruited into the Cancer Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences Laboratory Base were divided into junior residents and senior residents.According to the different training contents and objectives,the exploration of the hierarchically progressive training model was carried out,which mainly included three aspects:training plan,process training and process assessment.Results After the implementation of the hierarchical progressive training model,the average theoretical score and the average score in the skill operation examination of the residents increased to over 90 and 95,respectively.Meanwhile,the comprehensive clinical ability was also improved.Breakthroughs of teaching,scientific research and honor were achieved from"nothing"before the implementation to"something"after the implementation,and it actively promoted the improvement of the post-competency of the residents in laboratory medicine.Conclusion The application of the hierarchically progressive training mode in standardized training of residents in laboratory medicine could play a good role in promoting the training of post-competence for residents.

Objective To establish an analytical method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatogra-phy-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)technology for simultaneous detection of serum folate and its metab-olites 5-methyltetrahydrofolate,formyl tetrahydrofolate,and methotrexate concentration.Methods Target an-alytes in samples were concentrated and enriched using solid-phase extraction,separated by an Acquity UPLC HSS T3 chromatographic column(2.1 mm×100 mm,1.8 μm),and eluted with a gradient using 0.1％formic acid water and acetonitrile as the mobile phase.The method was established using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer(UPLC I-Class Xevo TQ-S micro IVD)and ac-cording to CLSI C62-A and other documents,the performance of this method in terms of quantification limit,linear range,precision,accuracy,dilution effect,carrying contamination,specificity,interference testing and so on was evaluated.Results The quantitation limit for folate was 1 ng/mL,and the quantitation limits for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate,formyltetrahydrofolate,and methotrexate were 5 ng/mL.Folate had a good linear re-lationship in the concentration range of 1-200 ng/mL(R2＞0.99),and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate,formyltet-rahydrofolate,and methotrexate had linear ranges of 5-2 000 ng/mL(R2＞0.99).The intra-day precision ranged from 1.7％to 13.9％,and the inter-day precision ranged from 2.7％to 14.6％.The spiked sample re-covery rates ranged from 93.6％to 108.9％,showing good precision and accuracy.Other examination results,such as dilution effect,carryover,and specificity,met evaluation requirements.Conclusion This study estab-lished an accurate and efficient UPLC-MS/MS method that allows for the simultaneous detection of serum fo-late and its metabolites and methotrexate blood concentrations.This method not only aids clinicians in simul-taneously monitoring methotrexate blood concentration and calcium formyl tetrahydrofolate concentration,but also enables dynamic observation of changes in total folate and active folate levels in patients during the treat-ment process.It lays the foundation for developing a reasonable rescue plan for calcium folinate and further improving the safety and effectiveness of methotrexate treatment.
