Objective To screen a verification method for influenza virus inactivation in MDCK cells, and apply it to the sample detection before and after influenza virus inactivation, so as to provide a reliable method for the quality detection of influenza vaccines. Methods Four types of influenza viruses adapted to MDCK cells, B/Yamagata(BY), B/Victoria(BV),H1N1 and H3N2, were diluted to 10, 1, 0. 1, 0. 01, 0. 001, and 0. 000 1 lgCCID_(50)/mL separately, which were then inoculated into MDCK cells and cultured by changing the medium(discarding after adsorption for 1. 5 h and adding virus culture medium, passaging every 3 d for a total of 3 generations), rehydration method(adding virus culture medium directly after adsorption for 1. 5 h, passaging every 3 d for a total of 3 generations), and method in European Pharmacopoeia(passaging every 4 d for a total of 3 generations). The cytopathic effect(CPE) was observed every day, the virus solutions of different passages were harvested, and the hemagglutinin(HA) titers were detected to determine the optimum inactivation verification method. Finally, the optimum inactivation verification method was used to detect samples before and after inactivation of influenza virus. Results Influenza virus could be detected at the titer of 0. 1-1 lgCCID_(50)/mL by both changing medium method and rehydration method, while influenza virus could be detected in the titer range of 1-10 lgCCID_(50)/mL by test protocol in European Pharmacopoeia, and the titer of HA detected by rehydration method was higher than those by the other two methods. Therefore, rehydration method was determined as the optimum inactivation verification method. The samples detected by rehydration method were all positive before influenza virus inactivation and negative after virus inactivation.Conclusion Rehydration method is the optimum method to verify the influenza virus inactivation in MDCK cells, which can be used to detect the quality of influenza vaccines.

Abstract: To explore the molecular mechanism by which long non-coding RNA Surfactant Associated 1 Pseudogene(SFTA1P) promotes the proliferation and migration of clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC) cells by regulating the microRNA-182-5p(miR-182-5p)/fibronectin 1(FN1) pathway. Methods: GEPIA2 software was utilized to analyze the expression ofSFTA1Pin ccRCC tissues from the TCGA database. Quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR) was employed to detect the expression ofSFTA1Pin ccRCC tissues, normal kidney tissues and ccRCC cell lines. A subcellular localization experiment was performed to explore the localization ofSFTA1Pwithin the human renal cell adenocarcinoma cell line(ACHN) derived from ccRCC. ACHN cells were then divided into the following groups: si-Con group, si-SFTA1P #2 group, mimic NC group, miR-182-5p mimic group, anti-miR-Con group, anti-miR-182-5p group, anti-miR-182-5p+si-FN1 group, si-Con+anti-miR-Con group, si-SFTA1P #2+anti-miR-Con group, and si-SFTA1P #2+anti-miR-182-5p group. CCK-8 and Transwell chamber experiments were conducted to assess cell proliferation and migration abilities. qPCR, Western blot, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were employed to elucidate the regulatory interactions amongSFTA1P,miR-182-5p, andFN1. Results: Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database indicated thatSFTA1Pwas overexpressed in ccRCC tissues(P<0.05). When compared to normal kidney tissues,SFTA1Pexpression was markedly elevated in ccRCC tissues(P<0.01). Furthermore, the expression levels ofSFTA1Pin ccRCC cell lines 786-O, SN12-PM6, ACHN, and A498 were significantly higher than those in human renal proximal tubule cells(HK-2)(allP<0.01). Subcellular localization experiments revealed thatSFTA1Ppredominantly localized in the cytoplasm of ACHN cells. Compared to the si-Con group, the si-SFTA1P #2 group exhibited a significant reduction in proliferation and migration abilities of ACHN cells, accompanied by a decrease inFN1mRNA and protein expression(P<0.05). Compared to the mimic NC group, the expression ofFN1mRNA and protein in ACHN cells in the miR-182-5p mimic group reduced(P<0.01). In comparison to the anti-miR-Con group, the expression levels ofFN1mRNA and protein in ACHN cells were significantly elevated in the anti-miR-182-5p group. Additionally, there was a significant enhancement in both cell proliferation and migration capabilities(P<0.05). Conversely, the proliferation and migration abilities of ACHN cells in the anti-miR-182-5p+si-FN1 group were significantly reduced compared to the anti-miR-182-5p group(P<0.05). Furthermore, relative to the si-SFTA1P #2+anti-miR-Con group, the ACHN cells in the si-SFTA1P #2+anti-miR-182-5p group demonstrated increased proliferation and migration abilities, along with elevatedFN1mRNA and protein expression levels(P<0.05). Conclusion SFTA1Pexhibits elevated expression levels in ccRCC and facilitates the proliferation and migration of ccRCC cells through the modulation of themiR-182-5p/FN1signaling pathway.

Objective To construct and validate machine learning-based models to predict the risk of acute kidney injury(AKI)following percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods A total of 2 315 STEMI patients who underwent PCI between January 2020 and June 2023 were included;306(13.2％)of them developed AKI.Baseline variables were screened using LASSO regression,with the optimal λ value selected via 10-fold cross-validation to identify AKI-associated features.Subsequently,eight distinct machine learning models were constructed and evaluated for their predictive performance.SHAP value analysis was employed to assess the impact of key variables on model predictions.Results LASSO regression identified seven variables significantly associated with AKI,including age,multivessel disease,preoperative creatinine,heart failure,white blood cell count,hemoglobin,and albumin levels.Among all the models,the light gradient boosting machine(LGBM)and extreme gradient boosting(XGB)demonstrated the best predictive performance,with training set AUCs being 0.899(95％CI:0.877-0.921)and 0.893(95％CI:0.868-0.918),and validation set AUCs being 0.809(95％CI:0.763-0.856)and 0.871(95％CI:0.833-0.909),respectively.SHAP analysis revealed that albumin,age,preoperative creatinine,and white blood cell count were the primary contributors to AKI risk.Conclusion This study successfully developed and validated machine learning-based predictive models capable of effectively identifying the risk of AKI following PCI in STEMI patients,thus providing valuable support for clinical decision-making.

Objective To analyze the long-term trend in the disease burden of congenital birth defects(CBDs)among neonates in China from 1990 to 2021,compare the trend with global patterns,and identify key subtypes along with their association with socioeconomic status to provide evidence for public health interventions.Methods Utilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021(GBD 2021),we extracted indicators including disability-adjusted life years(DALYs),mortality,and prevalence for the neonatal period(＜28 days)in China,encompassing ten major CBD subtypes.Joinpoint regression analysis was employed to calculate annual percent changes and estimate annual percent changes(EAPC),with comparisons of subtype composition between 1990 and 2021.Nonlinear regression was used to assess the relationship between DALYs rates and the Socio-demographic Index(SDI).Results From 1990 to 2021,DALYs rates for neonatal CBDs declined significantly both globally and in China,with China's EAPC at-4.67％[95％CI:(—5.06,—4.28)],substantially exceeding the global average of-1.70％[95％CI:(—1.75,—1.64)].Congenital heart anomalies remained the primary burden,while neural tube defects and orofacial clefts in China showed notable reductions(EAPCs of-7.25％and-11.22％,respectively).However,DALYs rates for congenital musculoskeletal and limb anomalies exceeded global expected levels.A resurgence in the prevalence was observed post-2015,with higher burdens in males.DALYs rates exhibited a negative correlation with SDI.Conclusion China has achieved significant reductions in the neonatal CBDs burden,surpassing global trends;yet challenges persist in managing congenital heart anomalies and musculoskeletal defects.Future efforts should focus on enhancing early screening,surgical interventions,and regional equity to align with global health objectives.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of proximal femoral universal nail(PFUN),a new type of intramedullary fixation system,in the treatment of acute unilateral intertrochanteric femoral fracture in elderly patients.Methods From January 2022 to January 2024,200 patients with acute unilateral femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated in our department.After closed traction reduction,PFUN was implanted with small incisions.Unified rehabilitation plan was adopted after surgery.The functional evaluation was performed by using the Harris hip score system at the last follow-up.Results The operation time was 25-182 min(median,63.0 min).The intraoperative blood loss was 10-750 ml(median,50.0 ml).Intraoperative blood transfusion(suspension of red blood cells)was required in 40 cases(20％).The postoperative hospital stay was 1-15 d(mean,4.0±1.9 d).The postoperative femoral neck-shaft angle was 116.7°-140.1°(mean,132.4°±5.5°).The quality of fracture reduction on the first day after surgery showed 140 cases as excellent,54 cases acceptable,and 6 cases poor.Complications occurred in 13 cases,including superficial wound infection in 2 cases,who were cured by regular wound dressing change and antibiotic treatment,lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in 8 cases,who were given low molecular weight heparin anticoagulation treatment until improvement,pneumonia in 2 cases and urinary tract infection in 1 case,who were cured or improved after specialist treatment.At one month after surgery,the hip joint X-ray showed blurred fracture lines,callus formation at the fracture site,and no internal fixation failure.There was no internal fixation failure within 3 months after surgery.At six months after surgery,all fractures achieved healing without any failure of internal fixation.All the 200 cases were followed up for 12-29 months(mean,16.1±2.7 months).One case experienced internal fixation failure,and underwent head and neck screw resection,internal fixation removal and hip replacement.At the last follow-up,the postoperative recovery was satisfactory.The Harris score of hip joint was 70-94 points(mean,88.8±2.8 points),including 103 cases as excellent,92 cases good,and 5 cases fair,with an excellent and good rate of 97.5％(195/200).Conclusion PFUN is effective in the treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fractures in elderly patients,with reliable fixation,rapid postoperative recovery,and low failure rate of internal fixation,especially suitable for unstable cases with internal or external wall fractures.

Objective:To explore the distribution and clearance of 99mTc labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(99mTc-DTPA)in different brain regions of adult rats after administration through brain extracellular space(ECS)pathway.Methods:After the injection of a volume of 2 μL and radioactive activity of about 3.7 MBq(100 μCi)of 99mTc-DTPA into the caudate nucleus and thalamus of SD rats through stereotactic positioning of rat brain,the single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography(SPECT/CT)for small animals was used for imaging at different time points,and the dyna-mic distribution and clearance of the tracer in the whole body were observed continuously.The SD rats were injected with 99mTc-DTPA into thalamus and caudate nucleus respectively for biological distribution in vivo.They were put to death 4 h later.Their blood and urine were collected.The brain,cerebellum,heart,liver,spleen,lung,and kidney were taken and weighed by γ counter to measure its radioactivity.Results:SPECT/CT imaging results showed that after 99mTc-DTPA was administered through brain ECS,the radioactivity was concentrated in the brain,kidney and bladder.The tracer administered to the left caudate nucleus was preferentially drained to the right cerebellum,while the tracer administered to the right caudate nucleus was preferentially drained to the left cerebellum.There was a phenomenon of"con-tralateral cerebellar dominant drainage"in the caudate nucleus.The thalamic area preferentially drained to the ipsilateral cerebellum after administration.Four hours after administration via ECS,high radioac-tive uptake appeared in urine,cerebellum and brain,followed by blood and kidney.The radioactive up-take values of heart,liver,spleen and lung were low,which were mainly excreted through urinary sys-tem.Conclusion:Intracerebral ECS administration is a promising method of administration,but there are significant differences in distribution and clearance in different brain regions.This study further ex-pands the content and significance of"ECS regions",and also provides an important theoretical founda-tion for the treatment of encephalopathy and the research of new drugs through brain ECS in the future.
