To establish a double fluorescent RT-LAMP that can distinguish between chicken astro-virus(CAstV)and avian nephritis virus(ANV),two sets of specific primers and probes labeled with fluorescent groups were designed by comparing the conserved sequences of CAstV ORF1b gene and ANV ORF1b gene downloaded from GenBank.The CAstV probe was labeled with CY3 fluorophore at the 3'end and the quencher BHQ2 at the 5'end.The ANV probe was labeled with CY3 fluorophore at the 3'end and the quencher BHQ2 at the 5'end.The reaction system of the method was optimized,and specificity,repeatability,interference,sensitivity,and clinical sample detection were performed.The results were compared with RT-qPCR and RT-PCR to verify the ef-fectiveness of the method.The experimental results showed that the established double fluorescence RT-LAMP method could complete the reaction within 60 min,and the optimal reac-tion temperature was 65 ℃.This method only detects ANV and CAstV,with no cross-reactivity to other common avian pathogens.The minimum detection limit of CAstV was 1.4 ×10 2 copies/μL,and the minimum detection limit of ANV was 1.5×10 2 copies/μL.The interference and reproduc-ibility tests were good.Compared with RT-qPCR,the coincidence rates of CAstV and ANV were 97.97％and 98.85％,respectively.In conclusion,the double fluorescence RT-LAMP method estab-lished in this study has the characteristics of rapidity,accuracy,good specificity,high sensitivity and good reproducibility,which is suitable for clinical diagnosis and provides technical support for the epidemiological investigation of CAstV and ANV.

Recent studies have shown that the physiological homeostasis of oral mucosal cells is regulated by the circadian clock.Dis-ruption or dysfunction of the circadian clock is closely associated with the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Research based on the circadian clock offers a novel perspective on the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for OSCC.However,there is current-ly limited research on this topic,and people generally have insufficient understanding and recognition of the circadian clock.Given the complexity and challenges of circadian clock which is the fourth dimension of medical research,we organize relevant experts based on summarizing the current research results of circadian clock in the pathogenesis and precision diagnosis and treatment of OSCC,combining the scientific principles of the circadian clock's role and their long-term research experience,then summarizes and recommends the con-sensus opinions for the research of circadian clock in the pathogenesis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of human OSCC,with the hope of providing guidance for the basic research and clinical application of circadian clock or circadian rhythm in the pathogene-sis mechanism and precision diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a domestically developed robotic surgical system based on fiber-optic dedicated line communication in cross-regional urological telesurgery.Methods:This was multicenter，single-arm，retrospective case series study. The data of patients who underwent urological telesurgeries using the telesurgical system between January 2023 and December 2024 were analyzed. The cohort included 59 patients from seven hospitals across China. Among the patients，47 were male（79.7%）and 12 were female（20.3%），with a median age of 63.0（56.0，68.0）years and a body mass index of（24.7 ± 3.0）kg/m 2. Surgical procedures included 32 radical prostatectomies，24 partial nephrectomies，one radical nephrectomy，one adrenalectomy，and one ureteral reconstruction. The perioperative indicators，pathological results and postoperative complications were analyzed. The network monitoring data were collected，and the perioperative data of patients，remote system monitoring data and costs were compared between the two communication modes of optical transport network（OTN）and cloud-connect network（CCN）. Results:All 59 remote surgeries were successfully completed，with a mean operative time of（138.0 ± 54.0）minutes，median intraoperative blood loss of 50.0（30.0，100.0）ml and a postoperative hospital stay of 5.0（4.0，6.0）days. No cases required reoperation，Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications，or readmission. The geographical distance between the primary and remote surgical sites ranged from 450 to 2 800 km. Network monitoring revealed increased bidirectional latency with distance increasing：the shortest latency time（Hefei-Hangzhou，450 km）was（16.59 ± 0.80）ms，while the longest（Harbin-Hangzhou，2 200 km）latency time was（53.31 ± 0.31）ms. Average frame loss per procedure was 0?1.27 frames. The results of subgroup analysis comparing OTN and CCN communication modes showed no significant differences in operative time［（130.7 ± 70.5）minutes vs.（142.1 ± 42.9）minutes， P = 0.442］，postoperative hospitalization［6.0（4.0，8.0）d vs. 5.0（4.0，6.0）d， P = 0.581］，or readmission rates（0 vs. 0）. However，CCN demonstrated significant cost advantages with 500 RMB per operation vs. 3 000 RMB per operation for OTN. Conclusions:Urological telesurgery using fiber-optic communication is feasible. The CCN mode，with its cost-effectiveness，excellent usability，and multi-point interconnection flexibility，is currently the preferred communication model for telesurgical applications.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes of myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2) in inflammation-induced pain and acupuncture-mediated analgesia. METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into three groups by a random number table method: saline group (n=16), complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) group (n=24) and CFA+electroacupuncture (EA) group (n=26). Inflammation-induced pain was modelled by injecting CFA to the plantar surface of the hind paw of mice and EA was applied to bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) to alleviate pain. Only mice in the CFA+EA group received EA treatment (30 min/d for 2 weeks) 24 h after modelling. Mice in the saline and CFA groups received sham EA. von-Frey test and Hargreaves test were used to assess the pain threshold. Brain and spinal tissues were collected for immunofluorescence staining or Western blotting to quantify changes of MD2 expression. RESULTS: CFA successfully induced plantar pain and EA significantly alleviated pain 3 days after modelling (P<0.01). Compared with the CFA group, the number of MD2⁺/c-fos⁺ neurons was significantly increased in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord 7 and 14 days after EA, especially in laminae I - II_o (P<0.01). The proportion of double positive cells to the number of c-fos positive cells and the mean fluorescence intensity of MD2 neurons were also significantly increased in laminae I - II_o (P<0.01). Western blotting showed that the level of MD2 was significantly decreased by EA only in the hippocampus on day 7 and 14 (both P<0.01) and no significant changes were observed in the cortex, thalamus, cerebellum, or the brainstem (P<0.05). Fluorescence staining showed significant decrease in the level of MD2 in periagueductal gray (PAG) and locus coeruleus (LC) after CFA injection on day 7 (P<0.01 for PAG, P<0.05 for LC) and EA significantly reversed this decrease (P<0.01 for PAG, P<0.05 for LC). CONCLUSION The unique changes of MD2 suggest that EA may exert the analgesic effect through modulating neuronal activities of the superficial laminae of the spinal cord and certain regions of the brain.

BACKGROUND:Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has many biological activities and has been found to have potential effects on promoting wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism of lycium barbarum polysaccharide in tumor necrosis factor-α-mediated keratinocyte apoptosis and its effect on the healing of burn wounds. METHODS:(1)In vitro experiment:Keratinocytes were divided into four groups:cells were cultured in the α-MEM medium(complete medium)containing 15%fetal bovine serum and 1%glutamine in normal group,cultured in the complete medium containing lycium barbarum polysaccharide in positive control group,cultured in the complete medium containing tumor necrosis factor-α in model group,and cultured in the complete medium containing lycium barbarum polysaccharide and tumor necrosis factor-α in experimental group.After 24 hours of culture,cell proliferation was detected using cell counting kit-8 assay;Cleaved caspase-8,TNF R1,FADD,and LC3 were detected using western blot.Then an autophagy inhibitor group(the complete medium containing 3-methyladenine)and an autophagy inhibitor+lycium barbarum polysaccharide group(the complete medium containing lycium barbarum polysaccharide,tumor necrosis factor-α,and 3-methyladenine)were set up.After 24 hours of culture,keratinocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.(2)In vivo experiment:Six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group,with three rats in each group.Four deep Ⅱ degree burn wounds with a diameter of 2 cm were made on the back of each rat.At 24 hours after modeling,mice in the control and experimental groups were coated with normal saline and lycium barbarum polysaccharide solution,respectively,once a day.Wound healing was observed regularly after treatment.Samples were taken 28 days after treatment and the pathologic pattern of the wound was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In vitro experiment:Addition of lycium barbarum polysaccharide alone did not affect cell proliferation and apoptosis and the expression of apoptotic and autophagic proteins in keratinocytes.After the addition of tumor necrosis factor α,the proliferation of keratinocytes was inhibited,the apoptotic rate increased,and the expression of apoptotic and autophagic proteins was elevated,while lycium barbarum polysaccharide could antagonize the above effects of tumor necrosis factor-α.Lycium barbarum polysaccharide combined with autophagy inhibitors further reduced the apoptotic rate of keratinocytes.(2)In vivo experiment:The wound healing rate of rats in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 12,16,20,24,and 28 days after treatment(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Hematoxylin-eosin staining results at 28 days after treatment showed an intact and well-defined epidermis of the wound in the experimental group compared with the control group.To conclude,lycium barbarum polysaccharide protects the integrity of skin epidermal tissue and promotes wound healing by inhibiting autophagy and apoptosis of keratinocytes.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
