Objective:To screen the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with multiple trauma, construct a prediction model accordingly, and evaluate its predictive value.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 560 multiple trauma patients who were admitted to while Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from January 2017 to June 2023, including 424 males and 136 females, aged 18-91 years [(55.5±15.0)years]. The patients were randomly divided into a training set ( n=392) and validation set ( n=168) with a ratio of 7∶3. Of all, 77 patients were combined with AKI in the training set, while 33 patients combined with AKI in the validation set. The AKI group and non-AKI group in the training set were compared in terms of gender, age, hypertension, diabetes, cause of injury, abbreviated injury scale (AIS) score of head and neck injury, AIS score of maxillofacial injury, AIS score of chest injury, AIS score of abdominal injury, AIS score of extremities and pelvic injury, AIS score of body surface injury, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, red blood cell and plasma transfusion volume within 24 hours following admission, emergency surgery, mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drug therapy, Glasgow coma score (GCS) on admission, revised trauma score (RTS) on admission, acute physiology and chronic health assessment II (APACHE II) on admission, injury severity score (ISS) on admission, and laboratory test results on admission including white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin (PT), fibrinogen (FIB), thrombin time (TT), international normalized ratio (INR), D-dimer, blood lactate, base excess, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin, globulin, urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, blood glucose, potassium, sodium and chloronium. In the training set, univariate analysis and Lasso regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors of AKI in patients with multiple trauma, which were then included into multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the independent risk factors. A nomogram prediction model was constructed using the R software based on the above independent risk factors. Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test was performed to evaluate the fitting degree of the prediction model in the training set and the validation set, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and clinical decision curve (DCA) were plotted in the training set and the validation set to evaluate the predictive performance of the prediction model. Results:There were statistically significant differences in AIS score of abdominal injury, heart rate, body temperature, red blood cell and plasma transfusion volume within 24 hours following admission, emergency surgery, mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drug therapy, GCS on admission, RTS on admission, APACHE II on admission, ISS on admission as well as hemoglobin, platelet count, APTT, PT, FIB, TT, INR, blood lactate, base excess, AST, albumin, globulin, urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, blood glucose and sodium on admission between the AKI group and the non-AKI group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The characteristic variables screened by Lasso regression analysis included AIS score of abdominal injury, red blood cell transfusion volume within 24 hours following admission, mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drugs therapy, blood lactate on admission, blood creatinine on admission, AST on admission, and blood sodium on admission. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that red blood cell transfusion volume within 24 hour following admission ( OR=1.09, 95% CI 1.01, 1.18), mechanical ventilation ( OR=2.49, 95% CI 1.06, 5.85), vasoactive drug therapy ( OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.03, 4.03), blood lactate on admission ( OR=1.10, 95% CI 1.01, 1.21) and serum creatinine on admission ( OR=1.02, 95% CI 1.01, 1.03) were independent risk factors for AKI in patients with multiple trauma ( P<0.05). The regression equation was constructed: Logit[ P/(1- P)]=0.086 2×"red blood cell transfusion volume within 24 hour following admission"+0.912 7×"mechanical ventilation"+0.713 2×"vasoactive drug therapy"+0.098 9×"blood lactate on admission"+0.019 2×"serum creatinine on admission" -4.822 3. H-L goodness-of-fit test showed χ2 value of 9.50 in the training set ( P>0.05) and 6.43 in the validation set ( P>0.05). The results of the ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.84 (95% CI 0.78, 0.89) in the training set and 0.80 (95% CI 0.72, 0.88) in the validation set. The calibration curves showed good agreement with the actual curves, with the predicted probability consistent with the actual probability in both training set and validation set. DCA analysis showed that the threshold probability ranged from 2% to 70% with the net benefit rate of the prediction model greater than 0 in the training set, while the threshold probability ranged from 3% to 69% with the net benefit rate of the prediction model greater than 0 in the validation set. Conclusions:Red blood cell transfusion volume within 24 hours following admission, mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drug therapy, lactate and serum creatinine on admission are independent risk factors for AKI in patients with multiple trauma. The nomogram prediction model based on the above 5 predictive variables of AKI in patients with multiple trauma shows good predictive efficacy and clinical application value.

Microbial denitrification is a major pathway for nitrogen removal from water bodies. However, denitrification is often difficult to continue when there is a lack of microbially available organic matter in the water body to serve as electron donors. In recent years, studies have shown that some denitrifying bacteria can directly utilize photoelectrons generated by sunlight-excited semiconductor minerals or natural organic matter for denitrification without the need for bioavailable organic matter as electron donors. This process is defined as microbial photoelectrotrophic denitrification. The discovery of microbial photoelectrotrophic denitrification phenomenon reshapes the previous knowledge about the chemoheterotrophic mode of denitrifying bacteria and broadens the pathway of nitrogen removal by the new photoelectrotrophic metabolism, which is of great significance to our understanding and exploration of sunlight-driven nitrogen cycling process. In this paper, we comprehensively sort out the existing research reports in the field of microbial photoelectrotrophic denitrification, systematically summarize the principle and the current research progress of microbial photoelectrotrophic denitrification, deeply analyze the problems and challenges faced by this technology, and make an outlook on the future research directions and application prospects of this technology, providing a reference for the further research and application of this technology.

Meat food is an important part of people's dietary supplements,but in recent years,meat adulteration cases are hidden and frequent,which seriously affects people's health and destroys the fairness of the market.Based on this,this paper analyses the development trend of meat adulteration and the current meat adulteration detection technology is summarized,combed in detail the use of the most widely used real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology application of the status quo and challenges to help real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology testing in meat adulteration evidence testing to the direction of more high detection efficiency and higher accuracy development.

This study explored the effect of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb)PE/PPE family protein PE_PGRS37 on the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis(Ms)and macrophage autophagy during Mtb infection.The pe_pgrs37 gene was amplified from Mtb genome through PCR,and the recombinant vector pAIN-PE_PGRS37 was successfully constructed through homologous recombi-nation.pAIN-PE_PGRS37 and pAIN were integrated into Ms through electroshock to construct pAIN-PGRS37/Ms and pAIN/Ms re-combinant bacteria.Western blotting indicated that the PE_PGRS37 protein was correctly expressed in pAIN-PE_PGRS37/Ms.The re-combinant bacteria were inoculated in 7H9/7H10 medium,and their colony morphology and growth curves were observed.No signifi-cant difference in colony morphology was observed between pAIN-PE_PGRS37/Ms and pAIN/Ms.The growth rate significantly in-creased between 10 and 16 h,and a plateau was reached at 26 h.After infection of U937 cells with pAIN-PE_PGRS37/Ms and pAIN/Ms,macrophage autophagy flow was detected with western blotting and immunofluorescence.In the pAIN-PE_PGRS37/Ms-infected group,compared with the pAIN/Ms-infected group,macrophage LC3-II and p62 protein expression was significantly up-regulated(P<0.001)and inhibited autophagosome and lysosome fusion.The intracellular survival of the recombinant bacteria was detected through colony counting,and pAIN-PE_PGRS37/Ms showed significantly greater survival in macrophages at 12 h,24 h,and 48 h than pAIN/Ms(P<0.05).Our results suggested that PE_PGRS37 protein promotes Mycobacterium survival in macrophages by blocking macro-phage autophagy flow,thus inhibiting macrophage autophagy.

The surgical treatment of colorectal cancer will be more and more accurate and minimally invasive under the guidance of precision medicine. At the same time, it will derive and evolve non-surgical paths, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors and immune targeted therapy for microsatellite instability high/mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer, and wait and watch path after neoadjuvant treatment for low advanced rectal cancer. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer will be gradually iterated by robots, which is the only way to intelligent surgery.
