Objective:To synthesize a hydrolysis-resistant urushiol-modified monomer(UMM)to improve the hydrolysis resistance of light-cured composite resin,while reducing the volume shrinkage rate(VS),increasing the double bond conversion rate(DC),and mitigating the potential biosafety concerns of bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate(Bis-GMA)monomer.Methods:UMM was synthesized by modifying urushiol via an acyl chloride reaction,and its structure was analyzed and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR).Control group was consisted of Bis-GMA/triethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA)without UMM,while 10%UMM,15%UMM,and 20%UMM groups were prepared by partially replacing Bis-GMA with UMM at mass fractions of 10%,15%,and 20%,respectively.The viscosity of UMM was measured using a rheometer.The DC of light-cured composite resin in various groups was detected by FT-IR spectroscopy,and the VS was calculated.The contact angle of light-cured composite resin in various groups was measured using the sessile drop method,and the water sorption and solubility values were calculated.The mechanical properties of light-cured composite resin in various groups were tested.The in vitro cytotoxicity of light-cured composite resin in various groups was evaluated using the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay.Results:The FT-IR spectra results showed that the absorption peak of the hydroxyl group at 3 402 cm-1 disappeared,while characteristic absorption peaks of-C=O and-C=C appeared at 1 745 and 1 637 cm-1,indicating that urushiol successfully reacted with acryloyl chloride to form UMM.The viscosity of UMM ranged from 25.14 to 29.43 Pa·s.Compared with control group,the DC of light-cured composite resin in 10%UMM,15%UMM,and 20%UMM groups was significantly increased(P<0.05),while the VS was significantly decreased(P<0.05),both in a dose-dependent manner.Compared with control group,the contact angle of light-cured composite resin in 10%UMM,15%UMM,and 20%UMM groups was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with 10%UMM group,the contact angle of light-cured composite resin in 15%UMM and 20%UMM groups was further increased(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the water sorption and solubility values of light-cured composite resin in 10%UMM,15%UMM,and 20%UMM groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),showing a dose-dependent trend.After 24 h of water immersion,compared with control group,the flexural strength(FS)and elastic modulus(EM)of light-cured composite resin in 10%UMM,15%UMM,and 20%UMM groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),also in a dose-dependent manner.After 7 d of water immersion,compared with control group,the FS of light-cured composite resin in 10%UMM group was significantly increased(P<0.05),while that in 20%UMM group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with 10%UMM group,the FS of light-cured composite resin in 15%UMM and 20%UMM groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05),exhibiting a dose-dependent trend.Compared with control group,the EM of light-cured composite resin in 15%UMM and 20%UMM groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05),also in a dose-dependent manner.The relative growth rate(RGR)of the L929 cells in control,10%UMM,15%UMM,and 20%UMM groups was above 90%,with no statistically significant differences among groups(P>0.05),and all cytotoxicity results were qualified.Conclusion:A novel low-viscosity monomer UMM is successfully synthesized in this study.All UMM-containing light-cured composite resin formulations exhibit higher DC,lower VS,reduced water sorption and solubility values,improved hydrolysis resistance,and low cytotoxicity.UMM can serve as a potential resin monomer to enhance the hydrolysis resistance of light-cured composite resin.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To explore the incidence, clinical features, genetic variant characteristics and prognosis of Glutaric acidemia type I (GA1) among neonates from Henan Province.Methods:A total of 814 625 neonates undergoing screening for inherited metabolic diseases by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. A retrospective method was adopted to collect the clinical data of the patients. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect GCDH gene variants in individuals with positive results by GA1 newborn screening, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate variants. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the pathogenicity of candidate variants was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Approval Number: 2019 Medical Ethics Review No. 67). Results:Eight cases of GA1 were diagnosed among the 814 625 neonates. Blood glutaryl carnitine (C5DC) and urine glutaric acid (GA) levels of the 8 children were higher than the normal reference values. In total 12 variants were detected, all of which were missense variants. c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) was the most common one, accounting for 21.4% (3/14). Three GCDH gene variants, including 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro), c. 467G>A (p.Gly156Asp) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp), were previously unreported. REVEL software analysis predicted that all of the three variants were harmful. 3D protein structure modeling indicated that the three variants may cause amino acid residue alterations, and c. 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp) may result in increase in hydrogen bonds and may affect the function of GCDH protein. By December 2023, one of the eight children had deceased, and another child had severe clinical symptoms with poor prognosis. Six children had a good prognosis, of which two had mild motor development delay and four had normal development without clinical symptoms. Conclusion:The incidence of GA1 in newborns screened by MS/MS in Henan Province is 1/101 828, and the carrier rate of pathogenic GCDH variants is 1/160. The c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) may be the hotspot variant of the GCDH gene among children with GA1 in Henan. Discovery of the three novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of the GCDH gene and provide a basis for the early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and genetic counseling of this disease.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum human epididymis protein 4(HE4)levels in primary Sj?gren's syndrome(pSS)patients for renal injury.Methods A retrospective analysis of 77 pSS patients admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Yichang from September 2021 to August 2023 was performed,including 43 cases of renal injury group 34 instances of non-renal injury group,and 54 healthy physical examination subjects(HCs)as control group.Fasting peripheral venous blood(4ml)was collected to detect the serum levels of HE4,Cys-C,TNF-α,CR,C3,C4,immunoglobulin,Anti-SSA,Anti-SSB and other indicators,and analyzed the value of HE4 in the early diagnosis of kidney injury in pSS patients.Results Compared with HCs,the pSS patients had increased levels of HE4(120.02±103.86 pmol/L vs 57.5±16.52 pmol/L),Cys-C(1.30±0.81mg/L vs 0.87±014 mg/L),and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.382,3.860,all P<0.05).The serum levels of HE4,CR and TNF-α in the renal damage group were higher than those in the non-renal damage group,and the differences were statistically significant(t/χ2=2.552～4.371,all P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that,the levels of serum HE4,Cys-C,CR and TNF-α were all positively correlated with renal damage in pSS(r=0.287～0.546,all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum HE4 level might be an independent risk factor for inducing renal damage in pSS(Wald χ2=11.932,P<0.05).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the best cut-offvalue of serum HE4 for the diagnosis of pSS renal damage was 70.46pmol/L,the maximum Youden index was 0.625,AUC(95%CI)=0.876(0.799～0.954).Conclusion The serum HE4 level in patients with pSS is positively correlated with renal injury and has predictive value for the occurrence of renal injury.

Objective:To investigate the management effectiveness of the integrated service mode of community cerebrovascular disease specialty and general practice team on stroke management.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial. Patients with non-acute stroke who visited Fangzhuang Community Health Service Center in Fengtai District, Beijing between September 2022 and January 2023 were enrolled and randomly assigned to an integrated specialist-primary care group and a control group using a random number table method. Baseline clinical data were collected. Patients in the integrated specialist-primary care group received a collaborative care model combining stroke specialty services and primary care teams, while the control group received routine care. Neurological status, mental status, medical adherence, cognitive function, and psychological status were assessed using standardized scales at baseline, followed by evaluations every 3 months for 1 year, totaling 5 assessments.Results:A total of 142 non-acute stroke patients were included, with 71 in the specialist-primary care integrated service group, aged (69.5±7.6) years, including 43 males (60.56%), and 71 in the control group, aged (68.8±8.5) years, including 38 males (53.52%). There were no statistically significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics such as age, sex, and body mass index between the two groups (all P>0.05). Prior to the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the Mini-Mental State Examination scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). However, at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention, the scores of the specialist-primary care integrated service group were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the scores on Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (all P>0.05). At 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention, the scores on these two scales for the specialist-primary care integrated service group were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in adherence behavior scores between the two groups before the intervention ( P>0.05), but at 6, 9, and 12 months post-intervention, the adherence behavior scores of the specialist-primary care integrated service group were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The integrated service mode of cerebrovascular disease specialists and general practice teams can effectively improve cognitive function, anxiety, depression, and compliance behavior, and is more conducive to the recovery of stroke patients in the community, which has popularization value.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the regulatory effects of Aurora-A in regulating proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cervical cancer cells and the role of actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 4 (ARPC4) in mediating its effects. METHODS: The plasmids pCDH-NC, pCDH-Aurora-A, and shRNA-ARPC4 were used for inducing Aurora-A overexpression or ARPC4 knockdown in HeLa cells. The cells were divided into vector group, Aurora-A overexpression group, Aurora-A overexpression+ARPC4 knockdown group, and Aurora-A overexpression+NF‑κBp65 inhibitor group and transfected with the corresponding plasmids. The proliferation, colony-forming ability, migration and invasion of the treated Hela cells was evaluated using EdU immunofluorescence assay, crystal violet staining, scratch assay, Transwell assay, and Matrigel assay. Western blotting was performed to detect the changes in cellular expressions of EMT-related proteins and expression levels of NF-κBp65 and ARPC4. RESULTS: The expression of ARPC4 was significantly decreased in HeLa cells with Aurora-A knockdown and increased in Aurora-A-overexpressing cells. Aurora-A overexpression obviously promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of HeLa cells, and these effects was significantly antagonized by ARPC4 knockdown. In Aurora-A-overexpressing cells, the phosphorylation level of NF-κBp65 and the expression level of ARPC4 were increased significantly, and application of the NF‑κBp65 inhibitor obviously lowered the expression level of ARPC4. CONCLUSIONS Aurora-A overexpression upregulates the expression of ARPC4 by activating the NF-κBp65 signaling pathway, thereby promoting migration, invasion and EMT of HeLa cells.
