BACKGROUND:Previous studies by our research group discovered that Jiawei Xiaoyao San has a significant anti-liver cancer effect,but the specific mechanism of action was unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory effects of the traditional Chinese medicine formula Jiawei Xiaoyao San on the levels of miRNAs in plasma exosomes of rats with diethylnitrosamine chronically induced primary liver cancer,based on high-throughput sequencing combined with bioinformatics. METHODS:SD rats were randomly divided into a blank control group,a liver cancer model group,and a Jiawei Xiaoyao San treatment group.Liver cancer models were induced by continuous administration of diethylnitrosamine for 12 weeks.Starting from the 17th week,rats in the Jiawei Xiaoyao San treatment group were administered Jiawei Xiaoyao San once daily until the end of the 20th week,while rats in the blank control and liver cancer model groups were given an equivalent volume of saline.Anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects were validated by assessing the morphological structure of rat liver tissues,along with the expression of the hepatocellular carcinoma markers,Glypican-3 protein and serum alpha-fetoprotein.Plasma exosomes from each group of rats were isolated using ultracentrifugation.High-throughput sequencing technology was used to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in rat plasma exosomes.Bioinformatics was used to predict the potential biomarkers through which Jiawei Xiaoyao San exerts its anti-liver cancer effects via liver cancer-derived exosomal miRNAs,followed by functional analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Jiawei Xiaoyao San significantly improved the morphological structure of liver tissues in a rat model of liver cancer.Compared with the liver cancer model group,the expression of liver cancer markers Glypican-3 protein and serum alpha-fetoprotein was significantly reduced in the Jiawei Xiaoyao San treatment group.(2)Bioinformatics analysis showed that in the Jiawei Xiaoyao San group,upregulated miR-223-3p in the liver cancer model group had target binding sites with genes E2F1 and NCOA1,which were closely related to liver cancer survival and prognosis.Therefore,Jiawei Xiaoyao San has a therapeutic effect on liver cancer,possibly by targeting negative regulation of NCOA1/E2F1 through liver cancer plasma-derived exosomal miR-223-3p,thereby playing anti-liver cancer effect.

OBJECTIVE To investigate a suspected hospital-acquired infection cluster of Enterococcus faecium(Efm)in a neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital,identify the source of infection and transmission routes,and provide a reference for precise prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections.METHODS Epidemiological investigations and environmental microbiological sam-pling were conducted for two neonates with Efm bloodstream infections in the NICU in Jul.2024 to detect Efm in the ward environment.Whole-genome average nucleotide identity(ANI)and multilocus sequence typing(MLST)were used to analyze the homology,drug resistance,and virulence factors of Efm isolates from patients and envi-ronments.Targeted intervention measures were proposed.RESULTS Two cases of Efm bloodstream infection were detected.A total of 37 environmental specimens were collected,and 2 were cultured Efm(the wipe dispenser o-pening and incubator handle of the patients).The drug susceptibility testing results of 2 environmental specimens were consistent with those of the two patient specimens.Genomic analysis confirmed high homology(ANI＞99.99％)among the four Efm isolates.After implementing a series of measures including centralized isolation,strict hand hygiene,thorough environmental cleaning and disinfection,strict disinfection and management of inva-sive devices,enhanced grouping of medical staff for diagnosis and treatment,the incident was effectively con-trolled.CONCLUSIONS This incident can be determined as cluster of hospital-acquired infection with Enterococcus faecium in the neonatal intensive care unit.The wet wipes are the source or transmission medium of contamina-tion.Inadequate disinfection of items and the environment,and insufficient hand hygiene of medical staff are the main reasons for this infection outbreak.Early identification of abnormal cluster of infection,investigation of the source of infection and transmission routes and timely implementation of targeted measures are the keys for preventing infection outbreaks.

Total hip arthroplasty(THA)is an effective treatment for elderly femoral neck fractures,mid-to late-stage femoral head necrosis,and end-stage hip osteoarthritis.However,serious complications such as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis,peripheral fractures,and dislocation of the prosthesis still exist following THA,which makes the selection of the appropriate hip prosthesis type and placement position before THA an important challenge for surgeons.Currently,the commonly used preoperative planning methods for THA mainly rely on static images from two-dimensional(2D)X-ray or three-dimensional(3D)computed tomography(CT),which fail to adequately consider the hip joint in weight-bearing as well as motion,lumbar-hip joint changes,and prosthetic impingement during motion.Recently,the dual fluoroscopic imaging system,as a new in-vivo,dynamic radiological imaging technology,provides comprehensive and accurate dynamic 3D data for THA preoperative planning.However,the technical process and expert consensus on preoperative 3D planning of THA using a dual fluoroscopic imaging system have not yet been established,which affects the promotion and application of this technology.In light of the above,national orthopaedic experts and related professional representatives discussed and proposed seven consensus issues,and the'expert recommendation rate'and'strong recommendation rate'were obtained through a questionnaire survey on the recommendations of the participating experts.This consensus aims to provide guidance and reference for the standardised application of preoperative 3D planning of THA using the dual fluoroscopic imaging system.
