Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV)usually evades the inhibitory effect of the innate immunity factor type Ⅰ interferon(Ⅰ-IFN)when it infects human cells and tissues.The virus then causes a series of serious symptoms,such as spasticity,neurodegenerative lesions,neuroinflammation,and even death.Generally,JEV escapes innate immunity by inhibiting IFN-α/β production and the interferon Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway.Because of this special immune escape mechanism,various mouse infection models have been constructed for the study of the pathogenesis of and therapeutic regimens for JEV infections.In this review,based on an exposition of the IFN immune escape mechanism of JEV,we systematically introduce the concept of JEV-infected mouse models and analyze the characteristics of these models and the degree to which they simulate human symptoms.The intention is to develop various new JEV-infected mouse models based on potential new research targets and provide novel ideas for animal models for JEV research.

Patients with sudden deafness encounter greater psychological challenges and communication barriers after experiencing sudden hearing loss， and traditional medical models often fail to adequately address their unique needs. This paper analyzed the current situation of emotional and behavioral changes in patients with sudden deafness， and the gap between their expectations and the reality of medical care. From the perspective of narrative medicine， the theory and characteristics of the reconstruction of the doctor-patient relationships in patients with sudden deafness were explored. The results showed that narrative medicine can enhance patients’ emotional resonance and understanding， improve the efficiency and quality of doctor-patient communication， promote the formulation of personalized treatment plans， and enhance treatment adherence and satisfaction. Based on these results， strategies and pathways for the reconstruction of doctor-patient relationships for patients with sudden deafness were proposed， including building empathetic bridges and tapping into mechanisms of emotional resonance within narrative medicine； optimizing communication strategies and promoting the application of narrative techniques in doctor-patient dialogues； connecting narrative pathways and advocating the exploration of stories and strategies in personalized treatments； as well as facilitating treatment adherence and making full use of the psychodynamic effects of narrative medicine. Narrative medicine， as a patient-centered medical practice， can effectively promote the reconstruction of doctor-patient relationships， enhance treatment effectiveness， and offer a more humane treatment experience for patients.

Objective To explore the effects and therapeutic mechanism of electroacupuncture on the levels of polarization markers and inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-6,IL-4,tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),and IL-10 in rats with para-chlorophenylalanine-induced insomnia(PCPA).Methods Fifty healthy specific-pathogen free grade Sprague-Dawley rats,half male and half female,were randomly divided into a blank group(n=10)and a model reserve group(n=40),in which insomnia was induced by intraperitoneal injection of a 500 mg/kg PCPA suspension.Using the random number table method,the 30 successfully modeled rats were divided into three treatment groups of 10 rats/group:model,electroacupuncture,and estazolam.The estazolam group was given estazolam 0.2 mg/(kg·d)by gavage;the electroacupuncture group was given once-daily electroacupuncture at the"Shenmen"and"Sanyinjiao"acupoints,and stimulation at the"Baihui"and"Benshen"acupoints,20 minutes each time,for 7 consecutive days.Following treatment,serum and hypothalamic levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-4,and IL-10 were detected using ELISA and Western blot,while immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the presence of Iba-1 in hypothalamic microglia and the co-expression of CD86 and CD163,which are markers for the M1 and M2 subtypes of microglial cells,respectively.Results Compared with the blank group,the model group exhibited prolonged sleep latency(SL)(P＜0.01),shortened sleep duration(ST)(P＜0.05),significantly higher serum and hypothalamic protein levels of IL-6 and TNF-α(P＜0.01),and significantly lower levels of IL-4 and IL-10(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the electroacupuncture and estazolam groups exhibited significantly shorter SL(P＜0.01),prolonged ST(P＜0.01),significantly lower serum and hypothalamic protein levels of IL-6 and TNF-α(P＜0.01),and significantly higher IL-4 and IL-10 levels(P＜0.01).IL-6 content was lower in the electroacupuncture group than in the estazolam group(P＜0.05).Compared with the blank group,the model group exhibited significantly enhanced Iba-1/CD86(M1 type)co-expression(P＜0.01)alongside significantly weakened Iba-1/CD163(M2 type)co-expression(P＜0.01).Under electroacupuncture or estazolam intervention,Iba-1/CD86 co-expression was significantly weakened(P＜0.01),and Iba-1/CD163 co-expression was significantly enhanced in the model group(P＜0.05).Conclusions Electroacupuncture effectively improved sleep disturbances in rats,with an underlying mechanism that may involve regulation of microglial polarization,downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels,upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine levels,and alleviation of neuroinflammation,thereby ameliorating sleep.

convalescents, and to screen for broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. Methods Using biotinylated RBD as a molecular probe, flow cytometry was employed to perform single-cell sorting of B cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of convalescents. The obtained B cells were lysed and subjected to reverse transcription, followed by nested PCR amplification of the heavy and light chains of antibodies was conducted using random primers. The amplified products were cloned into corresponding expression vectors, and the respective matched heavy-light chain plasmids were co-transfected into 293F cells for expression. Monoclonal antibodies were then purified using Protein A column chromatography. Neutralization experiments were conducted with the wild-type (WT) pseudovirus, and antibodies with IC50<0.1 μg/mL were selected for further testing of neutralizing breadth and potency against the wild-type (WT), Beta variant (B.1.351), Delta variant (B.1.617.2), and currently prevalent pseudovirus strains (XBB, BA.5, BF.7). Results A total of 21 RBD-specific monoclonal B cells were obtained from two recovered patients, resulting in the isolation of 13 pairs of antibody light/heavy chains. Nine antibodies were successfully expressed, with P1-A1, P1-B6, and P1-B9 exhibiting IC50 values below 0.1 μg/mL against the pseudovirus of the wild-type strain (WT). Specifically, P1-B6 effectively neutralized the wild-type strain (WT), Beta variant (B.1.351), and Delta variant (B.1.617.2), with IC50 values reaching 0.01 μg/mL. P1-B9 demonstrated effective neutralization against the wild-type strain (WT), Beta variant (B.1.351), Delta variant (B.1.617.2), and Gamma variant (P.1) pseudoviruses, with IC50 values of 0.42 μg/mL, 0.63 μg/mL, 0.28 μg/mL, and 2.50 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, P1-B6 exhibited good neutralization against BA.5 and BF.7 pseudoviruses, with IC50 values of 0.06 μg/mL and 0.09 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusions Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 WT strain can induce the generation of neutralizing antibodies with broad-spectrum activity. Generating these broadly neutralizing antibodies does not require an excessively high somatic hypermutation. The obtained antibodies can be used as candidates for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and prevention.

Objective:To develop a health behavior guidance program for stroke rehabilitation patients based on the adaptive leadership framework (ALF) .Methods:Relevant stroke health behavior guidelines were systematically retrieved, screened, included, and recommendations extracted from domestic and international websites. The initial draft of the health behavior guidance program for stroke rehabilitation patients was developed in light of the ALF. From January to March 2022, the draft was refined through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, resulting in the finalized health behavior guidance program.Results:A total of 10 guidelines were included, and 73 guideline recommendations were extracted. These recommendations were categorized into six dimensions and 25 specific items. In both rounds of expert consultation, 15 questionnaires were distributed and all were returned, yielding an effective recovery rate of 100.00%, with an expert authority coefficient greater than 0.8. Based on expert feedback and group discussions, the final program included eight dimensions and 31 items, adding sleep management and regular health consultations to the original six dimensions.Conclusions:The health behavior guidance program for stroke rehabilitation patients, based on the ALF, introduces a new perspective on nursing by reasonably dividing adaptive and technical problems. This approach aligns with clinical practice in China, providing scientific and practical value for promoting health behaviors and offering a new perspective for health education in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of color Doppler ultrasound parameters for fetal growth restriction (FGR) induced by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in high-altitude regions. Methods Pregnant women with gestational hypertension who were treated between July 2020 and June 2022 at the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University (with altitude of 2, 300 meters, were divided into group A1 with 19 cases and group A2 with 51 cases according to occurrence of FGR), Yushu People's Hospital (with altitude of 3, 700 meters, were divided into group B1 with 25 cases and group B2 with 47 cases according to occurrence of FGR), and Civil Aviation Clinical Medical College of Peking University (plain region, control group with 71 cases) were enrolled in this study. All pregnant women in each group underwent fetal color Doppler ultrasound examination of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow parameters, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D), peak systolicvelocity (PSV), and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) at 28 weeks of gestation were detected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of color Doppler parametersfor FGR. Results The UA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) of the fetuses in groups A1, A2, B1, and B2 were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the MCA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and CPR were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Among the five groups, group B1 had the highest UA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and the lowest MCA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and CPR (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that high altitude of residence and umbilical cord abnormalities were independent risk factors for FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves for the combined prediction of FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension at altitudes of 2, 300 meters and 3, 700 meters using color Doppler multi-parameters were 0.906 and 0.917, respectively, indicating a significantly higher predictive performance compared to individual parameter (P < 0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound parameters of UA and MCA bloodflow during the second trimester of pregnancy demonstrate good predictive value for FGR induced by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in high-altitude regions at different altitudes, and the predictive performance is even higher when multiple parameters are combined.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes in monoamine oxidase A(MAOA)and forkhead box A1(FOXA1)levels during neuroendocrine differentiation(NED)in prostate cancer,providing new strategies for the treatment of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.Methods Cell models and mouse transplantation models of NED were established through long-term sustained induction with enzalutamide(ENZ).Dynamic expression of MAOA and FOXA1 in NED was detected by Western Blot and Real-time PCR.GEO database data were selected to analyze the dynamic trends in MAOA and FOXA1 levels in multiple NED models.We constructed a mouse transplantation model of human prostate cancer cell lines and analyzed the dynamic expression of MAOA and FOXA1 in the in vivo NED model by immunohistochemistry.MAOA expression was disrupted with lentiviral transfection,and the impact on FOXA1 was detected.Results Both MAOA and FOXA1 concentrations showed dynamic characteristics,increasing and then decreasing during the NED process.Knockdown of MAOA in prostate cancer cells led to decreased expression of FOXA1.This MAOA may play different roles at different stages of NED by acting through FOXA1.Conclusions Both MAOA and FOXA1 levels showed increasing,then decreasing,trends during NED.The expression of MAOA affected the level of FOXA1,and MAOA/FOXA1 may play a dynamic regulatory role in the NED process.
