Objective To verify the accuracy of γ spectrometry by analyzing the results of national interlaboratory comparisons of radionuclide analysis by γ spectrometry from 2018 to 2023. Methods A statistical analysis was conducted on the results from multiple years of participation in the national interlaboratory comparisons of radionuclide analysis by γ spectrometry. The measurement results of radionuclide specific activities in soil were analyzed to provide technical support for improving the capability to analyze radionuclides in soil. Results The laboratory participated in six interlaboratory comparisons and conducted 23 radionuclide analyses by γ spectrometry from 2018 to 2023. The relative deviation was −12.20% to 8.11%, the |Z_test| was 0 to 0.61, the U_test was 0 to 0.62, and the U_rel was 0.07 to 0.12. The overall pass rate was 100% and the excellent rate was 33.3%. In addition, 21 of the 23 (91.3%) radionuclide analyses showed full scores in experiment operation. However, the total scores were relatively low due to multiple oversights and lack of rigor in the preparation of the test reports, which prevented the laboratory from qualifying for the excellence evaluation process, resulting in a relatively low excellent rate. Conclusion The interlaboratory comparisons indicate that the measurements of radionuclides in this laboratory were all qualified, with full scores for experiment operation in several analyses. These results demonstrate that the soil radionuclide analysis system based on γ spectrometry is reliable and stable.

AIM: To explore the efficacy of 0.05% cyclosporine A combined with olopatadine eye drops in treating allergic conjunctivitis-related dry eye disease.METHODS: A total of 63 patients(63 eyes)with allergic conjunctivitis-related dry eye disease in the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from August 2022 to April 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into control group(n=33)and observation group(n=30). The patients of the control group were administrated with 0.1% olopatadine eye drops and 0.3% sodium hyaluronate eye drops, while the observation group was administrated with 0.1% olopatadine eye drops and 0.05% cyclosporine A eye drops. The ocular surface disease index(OSDI), total ocular symptom score(TOSS), conjunctival congestion score, conjunctival papillae and follicle score, Schirmer I test(SⅠt), tear meniscus height(TMH), meibomian gland secretion ability and property score, meibomian gland loss area score, corneal fluorescein staining(CFS), tear film break-up time(BUT), noninvasive first tear film break-up time(NIBUTf), noninvasive average tear film break-up time(NIBUTav)before and after treatment and the drug safety during the treatment period of both groups of patients were evaluated.RESULTS: After treatment, OSDI, TOSS, conjunctival congestion score, conjunctival papillae and follicle score, SⅠt, TMH, meibomian gland secretion ability score and property score, CFS, BUT, NIBUTf, and NIBUTav of the observation group showed improvements compared with those before treatment(all P<0.017). Among these, OSDI, TOSS, conjunctival congestion score, conjunctival papillae and follicle score, BUT, NIBUTf, and NIBUTav demonstrated significant improvement compared with the control group(all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in meibomian gland loss area score between the two groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). During the treatment period, there were no local or systemic adverse reactions.CONCLUSION: The combined use of 0.05% cyclosporine A and olopatadine eye drops can significantly improve ocular discomfort symptoms of patients with dry eye disease associated with allergic conjunctivitis, such as red eyes, itchy eyes and foreign body sensation, promote tear film stability and have high safety.

Under the trend of increasing aging， integrated elderly care and medical services is an important measure to optimize the supply of elderly care services and promote the good death of the elderly. Using the cooperative production theory and the classical grounded theory， a qualitative analysis was conducted on 38 cases of elderly palliative care and 25 cases of hospital-based palliative care under the integrated elderly care and medical services model from a hospital in Nanning City using Nvivo 20.0 software. This paper found that the integrated elderly care and medical services mode emphasized the deep integration of medical and elderly care services by integrating resources and improving service efficiency， to achieve the basic experience of comprehensive health care for the elderly. The promotion of these experiences has a positive significance for building a multi-agent cooperative production system， strengthening personnel training， perfecting the performance distribution mechanism， and further promoting the development of the national palliative care pilot.

Objective To investigate the regulatory role of the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling on the subtypes and functions of natural killer (NK) cells at the maternal-fetal interface during the second trimester in mice following Toxoplasma gondii infection during the first trimester. Methods Twelve 6- to 8-week-old female mice of the C57BL/6J strain were divided into a control group and an infection group, of 6 mice in each group. On the 6.5th day of pregnancy (Gd6.5), each pregnant mouse in the infection group was intraperitoneally injected with 150 tachyzoites of the Toxoplasma gondii PRU strain, while mice in the control group were injected with an equal volume of physiological saline. On the 12.5th day of pregnancy (Gd12.5), uterus and placenta tissues were sampled from pregnant mice for pathological observations, and the mRNA expression levels of PD-1, PD-L1, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were quantified in uterus and placenta tissues. The PD-1 and DX5 expression was measured on NK cells at the maternal-fetal interface using flow cytometry. In addition, the in vitro JEG-3 trophoblast cells and NK-92MI cells co-culture system was established as the control group, and the addition of T. gondii tachyzoites in the co-culture system served as the infection group. The PD-1, PD-L1, and DX5 mRNA expression was quantified in cells using real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay, and the TNF-α concentration was measured in the cell culture supernatant using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results On Gd12.5, clear and intact cellular structures of placental decidual tissues were seen in pregnant mice in the control group, with no remarkable abnormal changes found in the uterine columnar epithelial cells, and inflammatory cell infiltration and blood stasis at varying degrees were found in uterine and placental tissues from pregnant mice in the infection group. The relative PD-1, PD-L1, and TNF-α mRNA expression was (1.004 ± 0.004), (1.001 ± 0.001), and (1.001 ± 0.001) in uterine tissues from pregnant mice in the control group and (2.480 ± 0.720), (3.355 ± 0.920), and (2.391 ± 0.073) in the infection group, respectively. The relative PD-1, PD-L1, and TNF-α mRNA expression was (1.007 ± 0.010), (1.006 ± 0.006), and (1.001 ± 0.001) in the uterine tissues in the control group and (6.948 ± 1.918), (3.225 ± 1.034), and (1.536 ± 0.150) in the infection group, respectively. The relative PD-1, PD-L1, and TNF-α mRNA expression was higher in both the uterine (t = 3.55, 4.43 and 33.02, all P values < 0.05) and placental tissues (t = 5.36, 3.72 and 6.18, all P values < 0.05) in the infection group than in the control group. Flow cytometry showed that the proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells, PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells, and DX5⁺ NK cells were (12.200 ± 1.082)%, (9.373 ± 7.728)%, and (44.000 ± 4.095)% in uterine tissues from pregnant mice in the control group, and (21.733 ± 1.630)%, (18.767 ± 1.242)%, and (73.367 ± 0.611)% in the infection group, respectively. The proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells, PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells, and DX5⁺ NK cells were (1.100 ± 0.510)%, (2.277 ± 1.337)%, and (96.167 ± 2.831)% in placental tissues from mice in the control group, and (26.867 ± 9.722)%, (23.433 ± 6.983)%, and (82.467 ± 2.248)% in the infection group, respectively. The proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells (t = 8.45, P < 0.05) and DX5⁺ NK cells (t = 12.29, P < 0.05) were higher in uterine tissues from pregnant mice in the infection group than in the control group, and no significant difference was seen in the proportion of PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells (Z = -1.09, P > 0.05). The proportions of PD-1⁺ NK cells (t = 4.58, P < 0.05) and PD-1⁺ DX5⁺ NK cells (t = 5.15, P < 0.05) were higher in placental tissues from pregnant mice in the infection group than in the control group, while the proportion of DX5⁺ NK cells was lower in the infection group than in the control group (t = -6.56, P < 0.05). RT-qPCR assay revealed that the relative PD-1, PD-L1, and DX5 mRNA expression was (1.010 ± 0.005), (1.002 ± 0.003), and (1.001 ± 0.001) in the JEG-3 cells and NK92MI cells co-culture system and (3.638 ± 1.258), (0.397 ± 0.158), and (4.267 ± 1.750) in the control group, and ELISA measured that the TNF-α concentration was higher in the cell culture supernatant in the infection group [(22.056 ± 3.205) pg/mL] than in the control group [(12.441 ± 0.001) pg/mL] (t = 5.20, P < 0.05). The PD-1(t = 3.62, P < 0.05) and DX5 mRNA expression (t = 3.23, P < 0.05) was higher in the infection group than in the control group, and the PD-L1 mRNA expression was lower in the infection group than in the control group (t = -6.63, P < 0.05). Conclusions Following T. gondii infection, both PD-L1 expression and PD-1 expression on DX5⁺ NK cells at the maternal-fetal interface are upregulated in mice during the second trimester; however, the proportion of DX5⁺ NK cells decreases. These findings suggest that PD-1/PD-L1 signaling may suppress NK cell functions by modulating DX5⁺ NK cell subsets.

OBJECTIVE To explore the role and mechanism of dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs)in repairing hypoxic injury to rats pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells(PMVECs).METHODS ①PMVECs were treated with cobalt chloride at 0,10,25,50 and 100 μmol·L-1 for 72 h.CCK-8 was used to detect the cell viability,and the protein levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α),zona occludens small-band protein 1(ZO-1),and occludin(OCLN)were detected by Western blotting.②There was a cell control group,model group,and model+DPSCs group,and the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)was detected by immunofluorescence staining after at 24 and 48 h of action.The levels of ZO-1 and OCLN proteins were detected by Western blotting.③ A cell control group,model group,model+DPSC group and model+DPSC cell knockdown superoxide dismutase 1(SOD1)group were set up.The mRNA level of SOD1 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR 24 and 48 h later,while the protein levels of ZO-1 and OCLN were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS ① Com-pared with the cell control group,72 h of cobalt chloride 100 μmol·L-1 treatment of PMVECs resulted in a cell survival rate above 80%,a significant increase in the level of HIF-1α protein(P<0.05),a signifi-cant decrease in the levels of ZO-1 and OCLN proteins(P<0.01),and establishment of a model of hypoxic injury in PMVECs.② Compared with the cell control group,the ROS level was significantly higher in the model group(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the ROS level was significantly lower in the model+DPSCs group(P<0.01),while the levels of ZO-1 and OCLN proteins were signifi-cantly higher in the model+DPSCs group(P<0.05).③ Compared with the DPSC group,ZO-1 and OCLN expressions were significantly decreased after knockdown of SOD1 in DPSCs(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSIONS DPSCs can repair hypoxic injury to PMVECs,and the anti-oxidative stress capacity of DPSCs plays an important role in hypoxic injury repair of PMVECs.

Objective To evaluate the effect of contralateral knee pain on joint dysfunction and treatment satisfaction on the operative side 1 year after total knee arthroplasty(TKA)in patients with osteoarthritis.Methods From March 2019 to Jan-uary 2021,635 patients underwent TKA including 296 males and 339 females,with an average age of(69.33±9.38)years old,the duration of symptoms was(1.15±0.44)years.According to the degree of pain visual analogue scale(VAS)in the contralat-eral knee joint 12 months after operation,the patients were divided into three groups,423 patients with no or mild pain(VAS 0 to 3),105 patients with moderate pain(VAS 4 to 6),107 patients with severe pain(VAS 7 to 10).The related factors of knee function and satisfaction score 12 months after operation were analyzed and compared on different contralateral knee pain lev-els.Results The contralateral knee pain VAS was significantly reduced after TKA.Old age,high body mass index,high WOM-AC scores of postoperative knee joint,moderate and severe pain of contralateral knee joint were the risk factors of dissatisfac-tion(P＜0.05),OR were 1.285,1.665,2.319,1.863 respectively.The high degree of knee pain on the operation side and the ladder room in the home environment were the risk factors for the high WOMAC scores 1 year after discharge(P＜0.05).Adher-ence to exercise and functional training after discharge were the protective factors for patients with high WOMAC scores 1 year after discharge(P＜0.05),OR were 3.016,1.738,0.619,0.574 respectively.Conclusion TKA can alleviate the pain of con-tralateral knee joint.Contralateral knee pain does not affect the WOMAC scores after TKA,but it will reduce the treatment sat-isfaction of patients.

Objective To explore mechanism of piracetam for the treatment of spinal cord injury in rats through mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)pathway.Methods Fifty-four healthy 6-week-old SD female rats with body weight of 80 to 100 g were divided into sham operation group,spinal cord injury group and piracetam group by random number table method,with 18 rats in each group.Spinal cord injury model was established in spinal cord injury group and piracetam group using percussion apparatus,while sham operation group did not damage spinal cord.Piracetam group was injected with pirac-etam injection through tail vein according to 5 ml·kg-1 standard,once a day for 3 days;the other two groups were injected with normal saline at the same dose,the same frequency and the same duration.The rats were sacrificed at 1,3,and 7 days after surgery,and changes of Basso,Beattie and Bresnahan(BBB)locomotor rating scale was observed and compared.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect spinal cord inflammatory factors,such as interleukin-6(IL-6),in-terleukin-10(IL-10),interleukin-1β(interleukin-1β),necrosis factor-α(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α);HE staining was used to observe morphological changes of rats with spinal cord injury,and immunohistochemistry was used to observe expression level of aquaporin 4(AQP4).The activation of MAPK signaling pathway in spinal cord of rats after spinal cord injury was observed by western blotting(WB).Results BBB scores of sham operation group on 1,3 and 7 day were 21 points.In spinal cord injury group,the scores were(1±1),(4±1)and(7±2);piracetam group was(1±1),(5±1),(9±2),re-spectively;the difference between spinal cord injury group and sham operation group was statistically significant(P＜0.05).HE staining showed that no abnormality was found in sham operation group.In spinal cord injury group,bleeding and degeneration of spinal cord tissue appeared at 1 day after operation;flaky necrotic areas were appeared in spinal cord at 3 days after surgery,and spinal cord tissue began to slowly repair at 7 days after surgery.In piracetam group,the bleeding area was less than that of spinal cord injury group at 1 day after surgery;at 3 days after operation,the necrotic area was reduced and the range of nuclear disappearance was reduced;and the spinal cord began to recover slowly at 7 days after surgery.AQP4 staining of spinal cord of rats in sham operation group was weak at 1,3 and 7 days after modeling,AQP4 staining was deepened and area increased in spinal cord injury group,AQP4 staining of piracetam group was lighter than that of spinal cord injury group,and the positive cells were slightly increased and the staining was slightly darker than that of sham operation group.At 1,3 and 7 days,the level of IL-6,IL-10,IL-1β and TNF-α in spinal cord injury group were higher than those in sham operation group and piracetam group(P＜0.05).Compared with spinal cord injury group,the area of spinal cord bleeding and necrosis were de-creased by HE staining in piracetam group,and AQP4 staining was decreased by immunohistochemistry.WB results showed that P-ERK,P-JNK and P-P38 levels in spinal cord injury group at 3 days were higher than those in sham operation group and piracetam group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Piracetam not only showed significant effect in promoting motor function recovery after spinal cord injury,but also showed positive therapeutic potential in reducing lesion area,regulating AQP4 expression to reduce edema,and reducing inflammatory response by regulating MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To study lncRNA MEG3 expression and its relationship with Th17/CD4+T cells in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)with different pleural effusion severity and prognosis.Methods:A total of 104 NSCLC malignant pleural effusion patients admitted to Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as research subjects,and divided into three groups based on amount of pleural effusion,including small amount of pleural effusion group(35 cases),moderate amount of pleural effusion group(42 cases)and large amount of pleural effusion group(27 cases).According to actual development and prognosis of patient's disease,they were divided into good prognosis group(29 cases without recurrence and metastasis)and poor prognosis group(75 cases with recurrence and metastasis).Another 60 patients with benign pleural effusion due to pneumonia who were treated in Quanzhou First Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University at same time were selected as control group.MEG3 expression in pleural effusion of two groups was detected by real-time fluorescent quantita-tive PCR,and peripheral venous blood of subjects was collected.Th17 cell and CD4+T cell ratios of peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry,and Th17/CD4+T was calculated.lncRNA MEG3 and peripheral blood Th17 and CD4+T levels in each group of patients compared.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze pleural effusion and prognostic factors in NSCLC.Results:lncRNA MEG3 expression and CD4+T percentage in pleural effusion in NSCLC group were lower than control group,while Th17 percentage and Th17/CD4+T were higher than control group(P<0.05).lncRNA MEG3 expression and CD4+T percentage in large pleural effusion group were lower than small and moderate pleural effusion groups.lncRNA MEG3 expression and CD4+T percentage in modarate pleural effusion group were lower than small pleural effusion group,while Th17 percentage and Th17/CD4+T in large pleural effusion group were higher than small and moderate pleural effusion groups.Th17/CD4+T was higher in small amount pleural effusion group(P<0.05).lncRNA MEG3 expression and CD4+T percentage in poor prognosis group were lower than those in good prognosis group,while Th17 percentage and Th17/CD4+T were higher than good prognosis group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that lncRNA MEG3 was a protective factor for NSCLC pleural effusion,and Th17/CD4+T was a risk factor(P<0.05),lncRNA MEG3 was a protective factor of NSCLC prognosis,and Th17/CD4+T was a risk factor(P<0.05).Conclusion:lncRNA MEG3 expression and Th17/CD4+T in NSCLC patients with different pleural effusion severity and prognosis is not same.lncRNA MEG3 is a risk factor for NSCLC pleural effusion and prognosis,while Th17/CD4+T is a risk factor,which can be used as an effective biomarker for pleural effusion severity and progno-sis diagnosis.

Objective To explore the differences in scapular motion and shoulder function between patients suffering from rotator cuff tears(RCT)with and without type Ⅲ scapular dyskinesis(SD).Meth-ods Between September 2021 and March 2023,sixteen patients suffering from rotator cuff tears with SD(SD group)and 17 counterparts without SD(non-SD group)were recruited from the Sports Hospital of the General Administration of Sport of China.Their scapular motion was assessed by measuring three parameters in the X-rays,including scapular spine line(LSS),scapular upward rotation angle(SU-RA),and coracoid upward shift distance(CUSD).Moreover,their shoulder range of motion in flexion,abduction and external rotation were recorded,and further evaluated using the Pain Visual Analog Scale(VAS)and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score(ASES).Results No significant differenc-es were found between the two groups in the average score of SURA,CUSD and LSS at 0°～30° shoul-der abduction,or in that of CUSD and LSS at 60°～90°shoulder abduction.However,the average SU-RA score of the SD group at 60°～90°shoulder abduction was significantly greater than the other group(P<0.05).The shoulder ranges of motion during active flexion,abduction and external rotation were significantly smaller in the SD group than in the non-SD group(P<0.05).Moreover,the average VAS score in the SD group was significantly higher than the non-SD group(P<0.05),while the average ASES score was significantly lower than the latter group(P<0.05).Conclusions RCT patients type III SD exhibits greater scapular upward rotation during shoulder abduction compared to those without SD.Moreover,the former patients suffer from more severe pain and have worse shoulder range of motion and functional performance than the latter.

Neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with inflammatory mechanisms, where persistent or excessive inflammatory responses can lead to neuronal damage and subsequent pathological changes. In acute neurological conditions such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, inflammation is a key factor that triggers acute neuronal injury and long-term sequelae. In chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, cognitive dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, the chronic activation of inflammation is closely related to gradual degeneration of neurons. Resolvin D1 (RvD1), an endogenous pro-resolving mediator, plays a crucial role in controlling the intensity and duration of inflammation by inhibiting excessive activation of immune cells, modulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. This review focuses on the mechanisms of RvD1 in mediating inflammatory damage in major neurological diseases, aiming to provide theoretical support for a deeper understanding of disease mechanism, optimized therapeutic strategies, and enhanced outcome.
