Methods Sichuan Province has 31 licensed laboratory animal production units, with the main species including mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and pigs. Sampling inspections and reports were conducted for units with laboratory animal production qualifications in accordance with current national and local standards for laboratory animal classification. The quality inspection results for various laboratory animals in Sichuan Province from 2017 to 2023 were analyzed. Results With the exception of 2018, annual quality inspections of laboratory animals were conducted every year between 2017 and 2023. Mice: In 2017, positive results for helminths, flagellates, Salmonella, murine hepatitis virus antibodies, and murine pneumonia virus antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of only 42.9%. In 2019, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 86.7%. In 2021, Sendai virus antibodies were detected, yielding a pass rate of 85.7%.The pass rate in 2020, 2022, and 2023 was 100%. Rats: In 2017, positive results were found for helminths, mycoplasma antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus, Sendai virus antibodies, murine pneumonia virus antibodies, rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies, rat parvovirus (H-1) strain antibodies, and rat coronavirus antibodies, with a pass rate of 40.0%. In 2019, mycoplasma antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 35.0%. No positive indicators were detected in 2020. In 2021, Sendai virus antibodies and rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of 50.0%. In 2022, positive results for rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies were found, yielding a pass rate of 87.5%. In 2023, Pasteurella pneumotropica and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 85.7%. Dogs: In 2017 and 2019, the antibody titers for rabies virus and canine distemper virus were below the required standard, with pass rates of 33.3% and 20.0%, respectively. In 2020 and 2022, the pass rate was 100%. Guinea pigs (general grade): In 2019, positive results for Toxoplasma antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of 80.0%. In all other years, the pass rate was 100%. Monkeys: In 2019, positive results for Toxoplasma gondii and rhesus herpesvirus type I antibodies were found, with a pass rate of 87.5%.In 2020 and 2022, rhesus herpesvirus type I antibodies were positively detected, yielding pass rates of 93.3% and 97.5%, respectively. The pass rates in 2021 and 2023 were 100%. Clean guinea pigs, rabbits and pigs all passed the inspection each year. ConclusionIssues related to the parasitic and microbial quality of laboratory animals persist in Sichuan Province. Supervision and sampling inspections have proven to be effective in identifying these issues promptly, serving as a critical measure to ensure the quality of laboratory animals. The results of these inspections offer valuable data to support the healthy development of the laboratory animal industry in Sichuan Province.

Objective: To explore the relationship between dieting and binge eating with non suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among secondary vocational school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of effective interventions to prevent NSSI. Methods: From October to December 2023, 2 364 students were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method from nine secondary vocational schools in Guizhou Province to conduct a self administered questionnaire survey. Unconditional binary Logisitic regression was used to analyze the relationship between dieting, binge eating behaviours, and the co-occurrence of the two and NSSI among secondary vocational school students, and were stratified by sex. Results: The detection rate of NSSI among secondary vocational school students in Guizhou Province was 27.5%, 6.8% of secondary vocational school students reported dieting, 10.5% reported binge eating behaviour, and 2.9% showed both dieting and binge eating behaviours. The adjusted model of unconditional binary Logistic regression showed that the presence of dieting ( OR =2.37), binge eating behaviour ( OR =2.31), and the co-occurrence of both ( OR =2.60) were associated with higher risk of NSSI among secondary vocational school students; stratified analysis by gender showed that both males and females with dieting, binge eating and coexistence of dieting and binge eating behaviours were at increased risk of NSSI (females: OR =2.27, 2.26, 2.78 ; males: OR =2.15, 2.08, 2.02) ( P <0.01). Conclusions Dieting and binge eating behavior of secondary vocational school students will increase the risk of NSSI. When preventing and intervening NSSI problems of secondary vocational school students, it should pay more attention to eating habits.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment scheme of periprosthetic joint infection(PJI)caused by Cutibacterium avidum(C.avidum).Methods The diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with PJI caused by C.avidum was summarized,and relevant literatures in the database were retrieved for review.Results A 65-year-old female patient with body mass index(BMI)of 31.1 kg/m2 underwent left humeral head prosthesis replacement surgery following a left proximal humerus fracture.Ten months after the surgery,the pa-tient exhibited poor wound healing and oozing,along with limited movement of the left shoulder joint,and was diag-nosed infection following shoulder arthroplasty.Patient underwent debridement of the infected lesion and removal of the prosthesis.The tissue,bone cement and prosthesis were cultured for C.avidum.Four literatures were re-trieved and screened,a total of 30 patients with PJI(28 cases hip joint infection and 2 cases shoulder joint infection)caused by C.avidum were reported through literature retrieval,and 78.6％(n=22)total hip arthroplasty(THA)surgeries were performed using direct anterior approach(DAA).The positive rate of preoperative joint fluid culture was 71.4％,29 cases underwent surgical combined with sensitive antimicrobials treatment.Except for one patient who had repeated infection and underwent three surgeries,other patients had a good prognosis.Conclusion PJI caused by C.avidum is mostly seen in THA patients who are obese and undergo DAA,with a few cases reported after shoulder arthroplasty.The high sensitivity of preoperative joint fluid culture provides an important basis for the development of surgical strategies and anti-infection protocols.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the comorbidity of chronic diseases and concurrent traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitutions in the elderly in Guangzhou.Methods From the physical examination data of 3 communities in Guangzhou,3 078 elderly people were selected as the survey objects,and association analysis was performed for mining the association rules between the chronic disease comorbidity and concurrent TCM constitution types of the elderly with different demographic characteristics.Results The comorbidity rate of chronic diseases in the elderly of Guangzhou area was 76.54％(2 356/3 078).In the elderly population of Guangzhou area,the correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the concurrent constitution of tendentious blood stasis constitution and phlegm-damp constitution had the highest confidence,which was 95.87％.The correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the gender showed that the concurrent constitution was similar in the elderly with different genders.The correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the concurrent constitution of phlegm-damp constitution and tendentious yin deficiency constitution in the male elderly had the confidence of 94.38％,and the correlation of chronic disease comorbidity with the concurrent constitution of phlegm-damp constitution and tendentious blood stasis constitution in the female elderly had the confidence of 97.46％.With the increase of the age,the biased constitution of the elderly with chronic diseases gradually developed into the concurrent constitution of phlegm blended with blood stasis,and the concurrent constitution of qi deficiency constitution and yang deficiency constitution became the predominated.Conclusion The comorbidity rate of chronic diseases in the elderly is high.The association patterns of the comorbidity of chronic diseases with concurrent constitution types vary in different age groups.Medical institutions can condition the concurrent constitution with Chinese medicine therapy according to the characteristics of the concurrent constitutions of the elderly,and then can improve the comorbidity of chronic diseases in the elderly.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different isoforms of RBBP6 on the proliferation of multiple myeloma (MM) cells after alternative splicing mediated by splicing factor SRSF1. Methods:RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of RBBP6 mRNA splicing isoforms regulated by SRSF1. The GEO database was used to analyze the changes of RBBP6 isoform 1 in the progression of plasma cell disease,and survival analysis was used to evaluate the value of this gene in the prognosis of MM patients. In vitro loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments were conducted by transfecting control siRNA,RBBP6 isoform 1 siRNA,empty vector (EV),OE-RBBP6 isoform 3 into MM.1S cells,then the expression levels of RBBP6 isoform 1 and RBBP6 isoform 3 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. CCK-8 assay was performed to detect the cell proliferation ability. Results:Knockdown of SRSF1 increased the expression of RBBP6 isoform 3 and decreased the expression of RBBP6 isoform 1. RBBP6 isoform 1 was closely related to the progression of plasma cell disease,and the high expression of RBBP6 isoform 1 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with MM. Downregulation of RBBP6 isoform 1 expression and overexpression of RBBP6 isoform 3 both reduced the proliferation ability of MM cells. And after downregulating the expression of RBBP6 isoform 1,the level of p53 protein in MM cells was significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusion:In MM,splicing factor SRSF1 can cause alternative splicing abnormalities in RBBP6. The RBBP6 isoform 1 promotes MM cell proliferation,while the RBBP6 isoform 3 inhibits MM cell proliferation,and the mechanism may be related to regulating the p53 pathway.

Abstract: Objective　To study severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) in tick samples from different species and genera in Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China, and to explore the phylogenetic relationship between ticks and patients sources of viruses at the molecular evolutionary level. Methods In 2016 and 2017, over a continuous two-year period, 1 158 ticks were collected from Suizhou, Hubei, and their species and genera were identified. Meanwhile, 86 serum samples were collected to detect SFTSV RNA by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. All viral RNA-positive supernatants of tick homogenates were inoculated into Vero cells for viral isolation, and full genome sequencing of isolated strains was conducted. Phylogenetic tree research on SFTSV strains from ticks and cases was performed using the bootstrapped maximum-likelihood (1 000 iterations) method with Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software, ver. 11.0 to provide confidence estimates. Results Haemaphysalis longicornis, Ixodes sinensis, and Rhipicephalus microplus were the dominant species (95.34%) in Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China. Tick samples were pooled according to their species and developmental stage, yielding 832 pools, of which 4 were positive for SFTSV by qRT-PCR. The overall minimum infection rate (MIR) in the region was 0.35%. One SFTSV strain named HB 2016-P35, was successfully isolated from Haemaphysalis longicornis and demonstrated high homology to 16 previously reported patient-derived viruses in Hubei Province, especially to the human strain HB 2017-49 from the same region, with a genome similarity of 99.9%. In addition, the molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed five distinct SFTSV genotypes in Hubei, covering almost all currently known SFTSV genotypes. Conclusions Some areas of Suizhou City, Hubei Province, demonstrate a relatively low level of SFTSV carrying and transmission by ticks. The new SFTSV strain isolated from ticks exhibits similar genotype characteristics and high sequence homology with viruses carried by cases in surrounding cases. The study suggests that tick-to-human transmission is most likely the pathway for human infection with SFTSV, highlighting the need for continual and long-term monitoring of tick carriage of SFTSV in endemic areas.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes of mixed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(UKA) and total knee arthroplasty(TKA) in the treatment of medial osteoarthritis(OA) of the knee. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 156 patients, 44 males and 112 females, aged from 50 to 75 years old with an average of(58.76±4.97) years old, who underwent knee arthroplasty from October 2017 to October 2019. The patients were divided into two groups:81 cases(81 knees) underwent TKA, including 23 males and 58 females, aged from 51 to 75 years old with an average of (58.60±5.01) years old, and 75 case (75 knees) underwent UKA with mixed phase 3 Oxford, including 21 males and 54 females, aged from 50 to 72 years old with an average of (58.92±4.95) years old. The two groups were compared regarding to the clinical outcomes, assessed using surgical information and complications, American Knee Society score(AKSS) clinical score and functional score. Radiographs were assessed using hip-knee-ankle angle(HKA), tibial component valgus/varus angle(TCVA), tibial component posterior slope angle(TCPSA), femoral component valgus/varus angle(FCVA), femoral component posterior slope angle(FCPSA), looking for bearing dislocation, prosthesis loosening, progression of OA in lateral compartment. RESULTS: Intraoperative bleeding, operative time and hospital days were significantly better in the UKA group than in the TKA group (P<0.05), and there were no postoperative complications in either group. Patients in both groups were enrolled with an average follow-up time of (38.01±8.90) months, ranged from 24 to 54 months. AKSS functional, AKSS clinical, HKA in both groups significantly improved at the final follow-up compared with those before operation. At the final follow-up, the UKA group was significantly better than the TKA group in AKSS functional and AKSS clinical, whereas HKA in the TKA group was better. At the final follow-up. TCVA and FCVA between the two groups were not significantly different, while TCPSA and FCPSA in the UKA group were significantly greater than the TKA group. No signs of progression of OA to the lateral compartment were observed. CONCLUSION Mixed phase 3 Oxford UKA in medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis was considerably better than TKA for less blood loss, shorter operation time, shorter hospital stay, rapid postoperative recovery, helping achieve satisfactory function, provided satisfactory outcome.

Objective: Compare and analyze the results of the domestic Lanyi AH600 glycated hemoglobin analyzer and other different detection systems to understand the comparability of the detection results of different detectors, and establish the best cut point of Lanyi AH600 determination of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in the diagnosis of diabetes. Methods: Multi center cohort study was adopted. The clinical laboratory departments of 18 medical institutions independently collected test samples from their respective hospitals from March to April 2022, and independently completed comparative analysis of the evaluated instrument (Lanyi AH600) and the reference instrument HbA1c. The reference instruments include four different brands of glycosylated hemoglobin meters, including Arkray, Bio-Rad, DOSOH, and Huizhong. Scatter plot was used to calculate the correlation between the results of different detection systems, and the regression equation was calculated. The consistency analysis between the results of different detection systems was evaluated by Bland Altman method. Consistency judgment principles: (1) When the 95% limits of agreement (95% LoA) of the measurement difference was within 0.4% HbA1c and the measurement score was≥80 points, the comparison consistency was good; (2) When the measurement difference of 95% LoA exceeded 0.4% HbA1c, and the measurement score was≥80 points, the comparison consistency was relatively good; (3) The measurement score was less than 80 points, the comparison consistency was poor. The difference between the results of different detection systems was tested by paired sample T test or Wilcoxon paired sign rank sum test; The best cut-off point of diabetes was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results: The correlation coefficient R² of results between Lanyi AH600 and the reference instrument in 16 hospitals is≥0.99; The Bland Altman consistency analysis showed that the difference of 95% LoA in Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital in Jiangsu Province (reference instrument: Arkray HA8180) was -0.486%-0.325%, and the measurement score was 94.6 points (473/500); The difference of 95% LoA in the Tibetan Traditional Medical Hospital of TAR (reference instrument: Bio-Rad Variant II) was -0.727%-0.612%, and the measurement score was 89.8 points; The difference of 95% LoA in the People's Hospital of Chongqing Liang Jiang New Area (reference instrument: Huizhong MQ-2000PT) was -0.231%-0.461%, and the measurement score was 96.6 points; The difference of 95% LoA in the Taihe Hospital of traditional Chinese Medicine in Anhui Province (reference instrument: Huizhong MQ-2000PT) was -0.469%-0.479%, and the measurement score was 91.9 points. The other 14 hospitals, Lanyi AH600, were compared with 4 reference instrument brands, the difference of 95% LoA was less than 0.4% HbA1c, and the scores were all greater than 95 points. The results of paired sample T test or Wilcoxon paired sign rank sum test showed that there was no statistically significant difference between Lanyi AH600 and the reference instrument Arkray HA8180 (Z=1.665,P=0.096), with no statistical difference. The mean difference between the measured values of the two instruments was 0.004%. The comparison data of Lanyi AH600 and the reference instrument of all other institutions had significant differences (all P<0.001), however, it was necessary to consider whether it was within the clinical acceptable range in combination with the results of the Bland-Altman consistency analysis. The ROC curve of HbA1c detected by Lanyi AH600 in 985 patients with diabetes and 3 423 patients with non-diabetes was analyzed, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.877, the standard error was 0.007, and the 95% confidence interval 95%CI was (0.864, 0.891), which was statistically significant (P<0.001). The maximum value of Youden index was 0.634, and the corresponding HbA1c cut point was 6.235%. The sensitivity and specificity of diabetes diagnosis were 76.2% and 87.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Among the hospitals and instruments currently included in this study, among these four hospitals included Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital in Jiangsu Province (reference instrument: Arkray HA8180), Tibetan Traditional Medical Hospital of TAR (reference instrument: Bio-Rad Variant Ⅱ), the People's Hospital of Chongqing Liang Jiang New Area (reference instrument: Huizhong MQ-2000PT), and the Taihe Hospital of traditional Chinese Medicine in Anhui Province (reference instrument: Huizhong MQ-2000PT), the comparison between Lanyi AH600 and the reference instruments showed relatively good consistency, while the other 14 hospitals involved four different brands of reference instruments: Arkray, Bio-Rad, DOSOH, and Huizhong, Lanyi AH600 had good consistency with its comparison. The best cut point of the domestic Lanyi AH600 for detecting HbA1c in the diagnosis of diabetes is 6.235%.
