Objective To discuss the correlation between free prostate specific antigen(fPSA),serum ferritin(SF),blood uric acid(SUA)levels and Gleason grading in patients with prostate cancer(PCa).Methods The clinical data of 61 patients with prostate biopsy treated in 411 Hospital of Shanghai University from January to December of 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of puncture,the patients were divided into benign prostatic hyperpla-sia(BPH)group(31 cases)and PCa group(30 cases).The levels of fPSA,SF and SUA in patients and Gleason grade in biopsy cases were analyzed.The correlation between fPSA,SF and SUA levels and Gleason grade was analyzed by the method of Spearman.And the diagnostic efficacy of fPSA,SF and SUA levels on PCa was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC).Results The levels of fPSA,SF and SUA in PCa group were significantly higher than those in BPH group(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in levels of fPSA SF and SUA in PCA patients with different Gleason grades(P＜0.05).With the specificity reaching 96.08％and sensitivity reaching 94.35％,the ar-ea under the curve(AUC)of the combined fPSA,SF and SUA levels in the diagnosis of PCa was 0.982,which was higher than that of the single fPSA,SF and SUA levels(P＜0.05).SF and SUA levels in PCa patients were positively correlated with Gleason grade(P＜0.05),while fPSA levels were not correlated with Gleason grade(P＞0.05).Conclusion The levels of SF and SUA in PCa patients are positively correlated with Gleason grade,which can be used as an important index to predict Gleason grade in PCa patients.

(±)-Talapyrones A-F (1-6), six pairs of dimeric polyketide enantiomers featuring unusual 6/6/6 and 6/6/6/5 ring systems, were isolated from the fungus Talaromyces adpressus. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and HR-ESI-MS data, and their absolute configurations were elucidated using a modified Mosher's method and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. (±)-Talapyrones A-F (1-6) possess a 6/6/6 tricyclic skeleton, presumably formed through a Michael addition reaction between one molecule of α-pyrone derivative and one molecule of C₈ poly-β-keto chain. In addition, compounds 2/3 and 4/5 are two pairs of C-18 epimers, respectively. Putative biosynthetic pathways of 1-6 were discussed.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light combined with fruit acid in the treatment of erythema and pigmentation after facial acne.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2022, 108 patients were selected from Dermatology Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, including 30 males and 78 females, aged 20-44 (28.2±5.1) years. The patients were divided into three groups: intense pulsed light group (40 cases), fruit acid group (38 cases) and intense pulsed light combined with fruit acid group (30 cases). The clinical efficacy of the three groups was compared. The facial biological characteristics data of patients were collected with VISIA skin analyzer and the changes compared before and after treatment in each group.Results:The total effective rates of the intense pulsed light group, the fruit acid group and the combination group were 57.5% (23/40 cases), 50.0% (19/38 cases), and 80.0% (24/30 cases), respectively. Comparison of total effective rates among three groups, there were statistically significant differences (χ 2=6.70, P=0.04). Comparison of effective rates among different groups showed that there was no difference between the intense pulsed light group and the fruit acid group (χ 2=0.44, P=0.51); there were significant difference between the intense pulse light group and the combination group (χ 2=3.93, 6.49; P<0.05), and between the fruit acid group and the combination group (χ 2=6.49, P=0.01). After treatment, the VISIA scores of erythema, spots, pores, and purple in three groups of patients significantly decreased compared to before treatment ( P<0.05). The VISIA scores of each observation value showed a decreasing trend with the increase of treatment frequency ( P<0.01). During the treatment, no obvious adverse reactions were observed. Conclusions:Intense pulsed light combined with fruit acid in the treatment of facial erythema postacnes and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation can improve the efficacy and less adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in some regions of China. Methods Serum samples were collected from 3 131 patients with chronic HBV infection in 10 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions of China from March 2021 to June 2022, and anti-HDV IgG ELISA was used for the detection of all serum samples. Nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) was used to detect HDV RNA in anti-HDV IgG-positive samples, and the nRT-PCR amplification products of HDV RNA-positive samples were sequenced and analyzed to determine HDV genotype. The clinical features of anti-HDV IgG-positive patients were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Results The positive rate of anti-HDV IgG in the 3 131 patients with chronic HBV infection was 0.70% (22/3 131), and that in the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Beijing, and Hunan Province was 1.81% (16/886), 0.88% (2/226), 0.28% (2/708), and 1.00% (2/200), respectively; the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region had a significantly higher positive rate of anti-HDV IgG than those in Beijing ( P =0.004), and there was no significant difference between the other regions ( P > 0.05). Clinical features of the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region showed that compared with the anti-HDV IgG-negative group, the anti-HDV IgG-positive group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with Mongol nationality ( P =0.001), abnormal alanine aminotransferase ( P =0.007), or antiviral treatment ( P =0.029), as well as a significantly lower median HBV DNA level ( P =0.030). A total of 19 HDV RNA-positive samples were identified, all of which had HDV genotype 1. Conclusion The prevalence rate of HDV varies greatly across different regions of China, with a higher prevalence rate of HDV in patients with chronic HBV infection from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. HDV genotype 1 is the predominant genotype in some provinces and cities of northern China.

Objective:To explore the application of mixed teaching mode based on small private online course (SPOC) and interactive tool in course of obstetric and gynecological nursing bilingual education.Methods:Nursing undergraduates from Batch 2018 of Chongqing Medical University were recruited in the study, with 336 students in the intervention group and 332 students in the control group. Mixed teaching method based on the SPOC and interactive tool was used for teaching in the intervention group, and traditional teaching methods were used in the control group. At the end of the course, formative evaluation indicators, such as students' academic performance, online study and students' classroom performance were compared between the two groups. SPSS 26.0 was used to perform t test and chi-square test of the data. Results:The final scores of the intervention group were (67.84±8.65) points, compared with the control group [(66.50±7.29) points]; the bilingual section scores of the intervention group were (5.32±1.90) points, compared with the control group [(4.95±1.92) points], with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). The online study and students' classroom performances of the intervention group were better than those of the control group ( P<0.05). Most students of the intervention group believed the mixed teaching method based on the SPOC and interactive tool could develop the ability of autonomous learning, improve the professional achievement and enhance the level of English. Conclusion:The mixed teaching method based on the SPOC and interactive tool can develop the students' ability of autonomous learning and enhance the teaching effect.
