Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health threat. This review systematically examines AMR surveillance technology advances, from conventional culture methods to modern molecular diagnostics (e.g., whole-genome sequencing) and artificial intelligence-assisted approaches. It focuses on the current application of mass spectrometry, machine learning predictive models, and real-time surveillance networks. To address challenges including inadequate technical standardization, clinical translation barriers, and data-sharing limitations, we propose integrated ^"genotype-phenotype^" strategies and global standardization framework, while exploring future applications of CRISPR-based portable detection, single-cell sequencing, and blockchain technologies.

Objective To establish orthotopic and ectopic pancreatic cancer models in C57BL/6N mice with normal immune function using in vivo imaging technology for visual characterization.Methods Orthotopic and ectopic pancreatic cancer models were established in Kunming mice by injecting a small volume of cell suspension containing firefly luciferase-expressing Panc02-luciferase pancreatic cancer cells into the head of the pancreas or the right axillary region.In vivo imaging technology was used to optimize the modeling method and timing in Kunming mice.Subsequently,the same method was applied to C57BL/6N mice using wild-type Panc02 pancreatic cancer cells to establish orthotopic and ectopic pancreatic cancer models with intact immune function.Key parameters,including body weight,inoculation positive rate,tumor growth time,tumor volume,and pathological characteristics across different organs,were compared be-tween the orthotopic and ectopic models in C57BL/6N mice to evaluate the applicability of these models.Results Both the small animal in vivo imaging experiments in Kunming mice and the tumor growth observation in C57BL/6N mice demonstrated that the construction periods for orthotopic and ectopic pancreatic cancer models were 20 days,with survival rates exceeding 90%.The inoculation positive rates in C57BL/6N mice were 92.3%for the orthotopic model and 78.6%for the ectopic model.On day 20 post-inoculation,the tumor volumes were(117.04±109.56)mm3 for the orthotopic model and(155.68±168.73)mm3 for the ectopic model,indicating high model success rates and consistent tumor growth.HE staining revealed pathological mitotic figures and poorly differentiated tumor tissues in both models of C57BL/6N mice,with no evidence of metastasis to other organs.Conclusions Orthotopic and ectopic pancreatic cancer models in immu-nocompetent mice were successfully developed in this study,mimicking early-stage pancreatic cancer characteristics.These models pro-vide a reliable platform for screening early diagnostic biomarkers and evaluating therapeutic interventions for pancreatic cancer.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an intestinal coronavirus that can cause porcine epidemic diarrhea, leading to diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and even death in piglets. Due to the diversity of PEDV strains, traditional vaccines are difficult to sustainably and effectively prevent and control PEDV. This article reviews the strategies and mechanisms of active substances in regulating intracellular signaling pathways, viral proteins, and microbial metabolites to enhance the host immune function against PEDV. It emphasizes the prevention of PEDV resistance and the potential harm of PEDV breaking through interspecies barriers to the human society, aiming to provide reliable theoretical support for the development of new antiviral drugs or vaccines.

OBJECTIVE:  To estimate the population attributable disease burden (PAD) of low bone mineral density (LBMD) related fractures (fragility fractures) among Chinese people over 50 years old from 1990 to 2023, using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023 (GBD 2023), and to provide evidence for prevention strategies and health resource allocation. METHODS:   Based on the GBD 2023, the LBMD summary exposure values (SEV), fracture incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and LBMD-related falls YLDs of Chinese people over 50 years old from 1990 to 2023 were extracted. PAD was calculated with population attributable fraction (PAF), and an entropy-weight method was applied to evaluate the contribution of individual fracture sites. Temporal trends and sex differences were examined with Joinpoint regression. RESULTS:  From 1990 to 2023, the age-standardized SEV of LBMD in people over 50 years old showed an overall decline [average annual percent change (AAPC)=-0.564%]. Age-standardized fracture incidence, fracture YLDs rate, and LBMD-related falls YLDs rate all exhibited W-shaped upward trends (AAPC=1.045%, 0.296%, and 0.724%, respectively). PAF-based estimates indicated that LBMD-attributable fracture incidence likewise increased in a "W-shaped" manner (AAPC=0.558%), whereas the corresponding YLDs rate showed an overall W-shaped decline (AAPC=-0.193%). In international comparison, China and the global average displayed broadly concordant directions of change, with greater volatility in China and a progressive narrowing of the gap after 2015. Regarding sex differences, fracture YLDs rates were consistently higher in the males, whereas the other burden indicators were higher in the females; the temporal patterns were similar in both sexes. Entropy weight method identified hip fractures as contributing most to incidence (weight 0.133), and pelvic fractures as the largest contributor to YLDs rate (weight 0.115). CONCLUSION Since 1990, the LBMD attributable fracture burden in China's older population has risen, with female and hip or pelvic fractures bearing the heaviest load. Strengthened osteoporosis screening, improved insurance coverage, and targeted health education are urgently needed to curb further increases in disease burden.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of 60Co-γ irradiation on the sterilization effect and main components of Rubus chingii Hu. METHODS Irradiated Rubus chingii Hu by 0, 6, 10, 15, 30 kGy doses of 60Co-γ, used the microbial count method to determine the microbial level of Rubus chingii Hu before and after irradiation. Analyzed the components of Rubus chingii Hu by high resolution mass spectrometry, investigated the effects of irradiation on the quality of Rubus chingii Hu by comparing the components of Rubus chingii Hu samples before and after irradiation, analyzing the quantitative results of ellagic acid and kaempferol 3-O-yunxiangoside, and evaluating the similarity of fingerprints. RESULTS The results of microbial examination of Rubus chingii Hu after different doses of irradiation all met the requirements, cluster analysis and principal component analysis of 20 components showed no significant difference. And there was no significant difference in the contents of ellagic acid and kaempferol 3-O-glucoside before and after irradiation. The similarity of fingerprints before and after irradiation was between 0.995 and 1.000. CONCLUSION Irradiation can effectively control the microbial level in Rubus chingii Hu, and there is no significant effect on the chemical composition of Rubus chingii Hu, the results provide a basis for the application of irradiation in the sterilization process of Rubus chingii Hu.

BACKGROUND:Previous animal studies have shown that riluzole can inhibit neuroinflammatory response after spinal cord injury and promote functional recovery in injured rats,but the study on whether it can regulate the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome in the acute stage is lacking. OBJECTIVE:To observe whether riluzole can reduce microglial pyroptosis and promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury by modulating NLRP3 inflammasome through animal experiments,histological experiments and molecular biology experiments. METHODS:Female SD rats were divided into sham operation,model and riluzole groups,with 12 rats in each group.In addition to the sham operation group,T10 spinal cord injury was conducted in rats.The model group was treated with intraperitoneal administration of riluzole with solvent cyclodextrin.The riluzole group was treated with a 4 mg/kg dose of riluzole injection.The effect of riluzole on motor function recovery was assessed using the BBB score and inclined plane test.The recovery of sensory-evoked potential and motor-evoked potential was measured by electrophysiology.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate spinal cord tissue repair.The regulatory effects of riluzole on NLRP3,Caspase-1 and gasdermin D protein expression in spinal cord tissues were detected by western blot assay.ELISA was utilized to detect the expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin-1β and interleukin-18.The effects of riluzole on the expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1,gasdermin D and interleukin-1β in microglial cells of the injured spinal cord were determined by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)At 35 days after spinal cord injury,BBB score and inclined plane test score in the riluzole group were higher than those in the model group(P<0.05).(2)At 3 days after spinal cord injury,the protein expressions of NLRP3,cleaved Caspase-1,gasdermin D-N(N-terminal domain),interleukin-1β,and interleukin-18 in the spinal cord homogenate of the riluzole group were significantly lower than those of the model group(P<0.05).(3)At 3 days after spinal cord injury,the fluorescence intensity of NLRP3,Caspase-1,gasdermin D and interleukin-1β in the riluzole group was significantly lower than that in the model group(P<0.05).(4)At day 35 after spinal cord injury,hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the area of spinal cord injury in the riluzole group was smaller than that in the model group.Electrophysiological tests showed that the latency periods of sensory-evoked potential and motor-evoked potential in the riluzole group were shorter than those in the model group,and the latency period of wave amplitude in the riluzole group was higher than that in the model group.(5)These results suggest that riluzole can promote the repair of injured spinal cord tissue,promote the repair of nerve conduction function,and further promote the recovery of motor function in rats with spinal cord injury,which may be achieved through the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the reduction of microglial pyroptosis.

BACKGROUND:Neuroinflammation is an important factor leading to secondary spinal cord injury,and microglia/macrophage pyroptosis is a significant part of post-spinal cord injury neuroinflammation.Studies have shown that microglia/macrophage undergoes pyroptosis after spinal cord injury,but the regulatory mechanism of circular RNA(circRNA)in microglia/macrophage pyroptosis after spinal cord injury remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role and mechanism of circRNA0005512 in regulating microglia/macrophage pyroptosis after spinal cord injury. METHODS:Female Wistar rats were divided into sham group and spinal cord injury group.Motor function was evaluated using the Basso,Beattie,and Bresnahan(BBB)scale.Cavity volume was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.Differential expression of circRNA in spinal cord tissue was screened using RNA-sequencing and circ0005512 was validated by real-time PCR.Immunofluorescence,western blot assay,ELISA,and real-time PCR were performed to detect cell pyroptosis in the rats and lipopolysaccharide-induced microglial cell line HAPI cell models.Gene knockdown was used to confirm the regulatory role of circRNA0005512 in microglia/macrophage pyroptosis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Seven days after spinal cord injury,evident cavities were observed at the injury site.Immediately after spinal cord injury,the motor function of rats was completely lost.Over time,the motor function of rats in the spinal cord injury group gradually partially recovered,and there was a significant difference in BBB scores compared to the sham group.(2)Circ0005512 was significantly upregulated according to the results of the RNA-sequencing and confirmed in both the animal and cell models.(3)Immunofluorescence,western blot assay,real-time PCR,and ELISA confirmed the significant upregulation of cell pyroptosis markers(NLRP3,GSDMD,and caspase-1)in spinal cord injury tissue and lipopolysaccharide-induced HAPI cells.(4)In the cell model,knockdown of circ0005512 resulted in significantly decreased levels of cell pyroptosis marker-NLRP3.(5)The results above indicate that circ0005512 promotes pyroptosis in microglia/macrophages after spinal cord injury.

Combination of passive targeting with active targeting is a promising approach to improve the therapeutic efficacy of nanotherapy. However, most reported polymeric systems have sizes above 100 nm, which limits effective extravasation into tumors that are poorly vascularized and have dense stroma. This will, in turn, limit the overall effectiveness of the subsequent uptake by tumor cells via active targeting. In this study, we combined the passive targeting via ultra-small-sized gemcitabine (GEM)-based nanoparticles (NPs) with the active targeting provided by folic acid (FA) conjugation for enhanced dual targeted delivery to tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). We developed an FA-modified prodrug carrier based on GEM (PGEM) to load doxorubicin (DOX), for co-delivery of GEM and DOX to tumors. The co-delivery system showed small particle size of ∼10 nm in diameter. The ligand-free and FA-targeted micelles showed comparable drug loading efficiency and a sustained DOX release profile. The FA-conjugated micelles effectively increased DOX uptake in cultured KB cancer cells that express a high level of folate receptor (FR), but no obvious increase was observed in 4T1.2 breast cancer cells that have a low-level expression of FR. Interestingly, in vivo, systemic delivery of FA-PGEM/DOX led to enhanced accumulation of the NPs in tumor and drastic reduction of tumor growth in a murine 4T1.2 breast cancer model. Mechanistic study showed that 4T1.2 tumor grown in mice expressed a significantly higher level of FOLR2, which was selectively expressed on TAMs. Thus, targeting of TAM may also contribute to the improved in vivo targeted delivery and therapeutic efficacy.
