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.

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.

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 investigate the incidence and prothrombotic risk factors of postoperative venous thromboembolism(VTE) in Cushing′s disease and to further develop an assessment model to identify those at high risk of postoperative VTE events.Methods:A retrospective study was performed in 82 patients who were admitted to Huashan Hospital, Fudan University during January 2019 and January 2020 and diagnosed with Cushing′s disease. These patients underwent the evaluation about their clinical, hormonal, and coagulation parameters, as well as ultrasonography and pulmonary angio-CT when necessary. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors, and a nomogram model for postsurgical VTE risk assessment in Cushing′s disease was initially established, and Bootstrap method was used for internal verification. Finally, the predictive model was evaluated for calibration and clinical applicability in the study cohort.Results:Nineteen patients(23.17%) developed VTE events, with 14 cases occurring after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. Compared to patients without VTE, those in the VTE group were older( P<0.001), had longer postoperative bed rest, higher rates of current infection, higher HbA 1C levels, and more severe glucose tolerance impairment(all P<0.05). Through LASSO regression analysis, two independent risk factors for postoperative VTE were identified: Age and current infection. Then a VTE risk assessment nomogram model was established to predict the patients at high risk of VTE. In the nomogram model for VTE risk assessment, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.868(95% CI 0.787-0.949), with the calibration curve closely aligning with the ideal diagonal line and the clinical decision curve exceeding the two extreme curves. Conclusions:Advanced perioperative assessment needs to be taken to screen those with high VTE risks in patients diagnosed with Cushing′s disease. Additionally, during the perioperative period, patients with Cushing′s disease should undergo mandatory physical activity or prophylactic anticoagulant therapy.

Objective To observe the expression of NLRP3(NOD-like receptor protein 3)in diabetes nephropathy rats,and observe changes in expression of inflammatory and fibrosis factors after NLRP3 silencing and irbesartan(ARB)intervention,so as to explore the protective effect of irbesartan on diabetic nephropathy rats.Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:Control group,Model group,Model+Blank group,Model+NLRP3 Sh group and Model+ARB group.The rats were killed 8 weeks and 12 weeks after the establishment of diabetes nephropathy model,and the kidney tissues were collected.Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1,P65 and Vimentin.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of NLRP3,P65,HSP47 and Vimentin.Immunofluorescence was used to observe the expression of NL-RP3,Caspase-1 and Vimentin.PAS,PASM and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of kid-ney.Results Compared with Control group,the mRNA expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1,P65 and Vimentin were increased(all P＜0.05),and the protein expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1,P65,HSP47 and Vimentin were increased in Model group and Model+Blank group(all P＜0.05).Compared with Model group and Model+Blank group,the above indicators were decreased in Model+NLRP3 Sh group and Model+ARB group(all P＜0.05).And the differences of above indicators between Model group and Model+Blank group were statistically insignificant.The pathological staining results showed that NLRP3 silencing and ARB intervention inhibited the renal damage of diabetic rats,and relieved the glomerular hypertrophy,glomerular sclerosis,basement membrane expansion,and interstitial fi-brosis.Conclusion NLRP3 signaling pathway is activated in the kidney of diabetes nephropathy rats,and the expression of inflammatory and fibrosis factors is upregulated.Irbesartan can block NLRP3 signaling pathway and alleviate renal damage.Innate immune receptor NLRP3 may become a new therapeutic target for diabetes nephropathy.

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.
