OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of clinical genetics specialization development and the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for hereditary diseases across medical institutions in Shanghai, and to assess the necessity and feasibility of establishing training bases for clinical genetics specialists. METHODS: By employing a cross-sectional survey design, the Clinical Genetics Committee of Shanghai Medical Association has conducted questionnaire surveys from March to April 2025 across 54 healthcare institutions in Shanghai (including 33 tertiary hospitals and 21 secondary hospitals). The survey involved administrative departments and medical personnel from 15 clinical specialties. The survey has covered current genetic disease diagnosis and treatment practices, relevant and specialised disease types, genetic department establishment, testing capabilities, personnel teams, and training requirements. RESULTS: The results revealed that 78.0% of clinical departments surveyed had treated patients with hereditary disorders. Shanghai possesses diagnostic and therapeutic expertise for over 95% of hereditary diseases listed in its rare disease catalogue, reflecting both the practical clinical demand for such conditions and the city's overall diagnostic and therapeutic strengths in this field. Nevertheless, significant disparities exist in the development of genetics departments across different tiers of healthcare institutions. Resources for genetic testing capabilities (including molecular, cellular, and biochemical testing) are also unevenly distributed across different tiers of hospitals. The survey further revealed that only 26.0% of departments believe that their current physician structure fully meets the diagnostic and treatment demands. Over 90% of departments consider standard training for clinical genetic specialists necessary, with 74.0% expressing willingness to participate in establishing training bases. Based on above findings and thorough deliberation, the Clinical Genetics Committee of the Shanghai Medical Association proposes advancing specialist training and discipline development through establishing a standard training system. The committee has drafted a three-year training protocol featuring a "joint training"-centered model, recommending a pilot-first, dynamically optimized strategy for steadily advancing training base development. CONCLUSION Shanghai faces substantial demand for genetic disease diagnosis and treatment, yet exhibits shortcomings in clinical genetics specialization development, resource allocation, and talent pipeline cultivation. To establish a standard training system holds significant practical importance and is underpinned by a broad demand.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the miR-543/syntrophin beta 1(SNTB1)axis in colorectal cancer(CRC)and its influence on the tumor immune microenvironment.Methods The expression of SNTB1 in CRC tissues was analyzed using public data,such as,The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA),Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx),and Human Protein Atlas(HPA).Then Kaplan-Meier survival analysis,univariate Cox regression analysis and correlation analysis were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of SNTB1 and its relationship with immune microenvironment in CRC.The targeting relationship between miR-543 and SNTB1 was confirmed through online databases and fluorescence assays in HT-29 cells.For in vitro experiments,after transfecting si-SNTB1,miR-543 mimics and/or SNTB1 overexpression plasmids,HT-29 cells were co-cultured with CD8+T cells,the expression of miR543 and SNTB1 and the viability and cytotoxicity of CD8+T cells were assessed with qRT-PCR,Western blotting,flow cytometry,ELISA,and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)release assay.Results Analysis of public databases revealed significantly higher expression of SNTB1 in CRC tissues than normal tissues(P<0.001).The CRC patients with high SNTB1 expression exhibited poorer prognosis when compared with those with low expression level(P<0.05).Moreover,high SNTB1 expression was negatively correlated with immune scores in the tumor microenvironment and immune cell infiltration,especially CD8+T cells(P<0.05).Furthermore,Knockdown of SNTB1 in HT-29 cells enhanced the cytotoxic activity of CD8+T cells(P<0.01).Online database and in vitro experiments confirmed that miR-543 targets SNTB1,while the expression of miR-543 was decreased in colorectal cancer(P<0.001).Transfection with the miR-543 mimic inhibited the expression of SNTB1 in HT-29 cells(P<0.001),while overexpressing SNTB1 counteracted the promotion effect of miR-543 mimics on CD8+T cell-mediated cytotoxicity(P<0.05).Conclusion MiR-543 activates CD8+T cells and enhances their cytotoxicity against HT-29 cells by directly targeting SNTB1.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) combined with static progressive stretching (SPS) in the treatment of traumatic knee stiffness in rats.Methods:Forty healthy male SD rats aged 8 weeks and weighing 220-300 g, were randomly divided into blank control group ( n=8) and model groups ( n=28) (including injury group, BTX-A group, SPS group and BTX-A+SPS group, with 7 in each group). Hlidebrand′s method was used to construct a traumatic knee stiffness model, with the following main steps: destruction of the joint capsule, Kirschner wire fixation, joint drilling, and removal of the internal fixation at 4 weeks. The blank control group did not receive any treatment and could move freely in the cage. The injury group moved freely after successful modeling. On the day of internal fixation removal, BTX-A was injected into the joint cavity in group BTX-A, SPS treatment was started in the SPS group, BTX-A was injected into the joint cavity and SPS treatment was started in the BTX-A+SPS group. The treatments lasted 16 days. The range of motion (ROM) and joint stiffness were measured before treatment and at 16 days after treatment. At 16 days after treatment, knee joint tissue was collected and the rats were sacrificed, and the articular capsule fibrous tissue proliferation was observed by HE and Masson staining. The expression levels of phosphorylated (p)-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad3, Smad3, Smad4, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), collagen type I, collagen type III, and α-smooth actin (α-SMA) were determined by Western blot. The ratio of phosphorylated protein to total protein was calculated to reflect the phosphorylation level. Results:(1) ROM: Before treatment, the ROM in the blank control group was significantly higher than that in the other groups ( P<0.05), with no significant difference in ROM among the other groups ( P>0.05). At 16 days after treatment, ROM in the injury group, BTX-A group, SPS group, and BTX-A+SPS group was lower than that in the blank control group ( P<0.05), among which ROM in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly higher than that in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, there was no significant difference in ROM before and after treatment in the blank control group ( P>0.05), and ROM in the other groups was significantly increased compared with that before treatment ( P<0.01). (2) Joint stiffness: At 16 days after treatment, the joint stiffness levels in the injury group, the BTX-A group, and the SPS group were (0.95±0.24)N·cm/°, (0.86±0.22)N·cm/°, and (0.65±0.09)N·cm/° respectively, which were significantly lower than (0.36±0.03)N·cm/° in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The joint stiffness level of the BTX-A+SPS group was (0.49±0.04)N·cm/°, which was not significantly different from that in the blank control group ( P>0.05), but was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). (3) Fibrous tissue proliferation: at 16 days after treatment, the joint capsular structure in the blank control group was complete and clear, the fibers were arranged in order, and there was no obvious fibrous tissue proliferation. The pathological changes in the injury group were the most serious, with a large number of synovial fibrous tissue proliferation, significantly increased blood vessels in the tissue, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the SPS group and BTX-A group, the lesions in BTX-A+SPS group were milder, with only slight increase in the number of synovial cells but no obvious vascular proliferation or lymphocytes, and the overall lesions were the least severe. (4) Protein expression: the ratios of p-Smad2/Smad2 in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group were 1.552±0.234, 1.328±0.272 and 1.194±0.277 respectively, which were higher than 0.794±0.082 in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The ratio of p-Smad2/Smad2 in the BTX-A+SPS group was 1.013±0.123, which was not significantly different from those in the blank control group, BTX-A group or SPS group ( P>0.05), but was lower than that in the injury group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the p-Smad3/Smad3 ratios in the injury group, BTX-A group, SPS group and BTX-A+SPS group were 2.272±0.309, 1.664±0.285, 1.381±0.276 and 1.003±0.060 respectively, which were higher than 0.515±0.051 in the blank control group ( P<0.05). The p-Smad3/Smad3 ratio in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of Smad4 in the injury group (1.001±0.015) was higher than 0.294±0.076 in the blank control group ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.664±0.051), SPS group (0.833±0.045), BTX-A+SPS group (0.467±0.068) or the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of Smad4 in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of TGF-β1 in the injury group (1.004±0.407) was higher than 0.269±0.122 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.564±0.194), SPS group (0.422±0.086) and BTX-A+SPS group (0.347±0.161) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of TGF-β1 in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of type I collagen in the injury group was 0.999±0.170, higher than 0.299±0.139 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.542±0.278), SPS group (0.561±0.165), and BTX-A+SPS group (0.537±0.045) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of collagen type I in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of type III collagen in the injury group was 1.002±0.126, higher than 0.239±0.106 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.661±0.062), SPS group (0.595±0.062), and BTX-A+SPS group (0.504±0.269) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of collagen type III in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group, and SPS group ( P<0.05). At 16 days after treatment, the level of α-SMA in the injury group was 0.998±0.074, higher than 0.130±0.023 in the blank control group ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the BTX-A group (0.358±0.060), SPS group (0.432±0.230), and BTX-A+SPS group (0.293±0.135) and the blank control group ( P>0.05). The level of α-SMA in the BTX-A+SPS group was significantly lower than those in the injury group, BTX-A group and SPS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with single treatment, the combination of BTX-A and SPS demonstrates significantly greater efficacy in the treatment of traumatic knee stiffness in rats. This combined approach not only enhances joint mobility and elasticity but also effectively inhibits joint capsule fibrosis. The underlying mechanism may involve the further suppression of TGF-β1 expression in the joint capsule, leading to reduced phosphorylation levels of Smad2 and Smad3. This, in turn, inhibits the binding of Smad2 and Smad3 to the Smad4 receptor, ultimately downregulating the expression of the downstream proteins of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, such as collagen type I, collagen type III and α-SMA.

Objective:To explore the classification and influencing factors of family resilience and post-traumatic growth in patients with spinal tumor.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation was conducted among 219 inpatients with spinal tumor admitted from July 2021 to July 2022. The General Demographic Information questionnaire, Chinese-Family Resilience Assessment Scale, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Family Crisis-Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used in the study. The ordinal and multivariate logistic regression analyses was applied to identify the factors associated with the classification of family resilience and post-traumatic growth.Results:Of the 219 patients, there were 62 cases of primary spinal tumors (28.3%). According to the results of latent profile analysis, the respondents were classified into three categories by family resilience and post-traumatic growth, namely family difficulty-resistant type ( n=38, 17.4%), general resilience-struggle type ( n=99, 45.2%) and family adaptation-growth type ( n=82, 37.4%). There were significant differences in occupational status, commitment to housework, family atmosphere( χ2=10.75, P=0.025; χ2=6.95, P=0.031; χ2=11.37, P=0.017), and total score of F-COPES and SSRS ( F=25.95, P<0.001; F=19.06, P<0.001)among three groups. Ordinal and multivariate logisitc regression analyses showed that retirement ( OR=2.928, 95% CI:1.098-7.808, P<0.05), family coping ( OR=1.113, 95% CI:1.063-1.165, P<0.05), and social support ( OR=1.226, 95% CI:1.103-1.362, P<0.05) were independently associated with family resilience and post-traumatic growth in patients with spinal tumor. Conclusion:Patients with spinal tumor have significant differences in characteristics by family resilience and post-traumatic growth. As a result, more targeted interventions should be provided for different categories of spinal tumor patients in the future.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of eravacycline in the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infection(cIAI)in Chinese adult patients.Methods In this multicenter,randomized,double-blind phase Ⅲ study,cIAI patients were randomly assigned to receive either eravacycline(1.0 mg/kg,q12h)or ertapenem(1 g,q24h)by intravenous infusion for 5 to 14 days.The primary and secondary efficacy endpoints included the clinical efficacy and microbiological efficacy in different populations,including modified intention-to-treat(MITT)population,clinically evaluable(CE)population,and microbiologically evaluable(ME)population,at different time points after treatment.Clinical cure rates at specific visits were summarized and compared between treatment groups in different populations.The microbial eradication rate was calculated for the patients with baseline pathogens.The incidence of adverse events(AE)and drug-related treatment emergent adverse event(TEAE)was analyzed by treatment group.Results A total of 144 patients with cIAI who received at least one dose of the study drug were included in the MITT population.The clinical cure rate was 77.8％(56/72)in eravacycline-treated patients and 90.3％(65/72)in ertapenem-treated patients at 25-31 days after the first dose(TOC visit).When the patients who received insufficient treatment(＜72 hours)were excluded,the clinical cure rate was 83.6％(56/67)in eravacycline group and 90.3％(65/72)in ertapenem.For CE and ME patients,the clinical cure rate at TOC visit was 91.1％(51/56)and 83.3％(25/30)in eravacycline group,95.3％(61/64)and 90.9％(30/33)in ertapenem group.Eravacycline treatment achieved microbiological eradication rate of 91.3％(21/23)against Escherichia coli at TOC visit in micro-MITT population while ertapenem treatment resulted in a microbiological eradication rate of 96.2％(25/26).The microbiological efficacy of eravacycline and ertapenem against Klebsiella pneumoniae was 4/5 and 3/3,respectively.The incidence of TEAE was similar in eravacycline and ertapenem groups(75.0％vs.70.8％),most of which were mild or moderate.The AEs associated with eravacycline were mainly infusion site phlebitis(9.7％,7/72)and infusion site pain(8.3％,6/72).Conclusions Similar to ertapenem,eravacycline has good clinical and microbiological efficacy in treating cIAI.It is also safe and well-tolerated in the patients.
