BACKGROUND:We have successfully established an animal model of small ear pig in southern Yunnan province with internal tension relieving technique combined with autologous Achilles tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,and verified the stability and reliability of the model.However,whether internal tension relieving technique can promote the ligamentalization process of autologous Achilles tendon graft has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences in the process of ligamentalization between conventional reconstruction and internal reduction reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by gross view,histology and electron microscopy. METHODS:Thirty adult female small ear pigs in southern Yunnan province were selected.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the left knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon(n=30 in the normal group),and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the right knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon combined with the internal relaxation and enhancement system(n=30 in the relaxation group).The autogenous right forelimb was used as the control group;the anterior cruciate ligament was exposed but not severed or surgically treated.At 12,24,and 48 weeks after surgery,10 animals were sacrificed,respectively.The left and right knee joint specimens were taken for gross morphological observation to evaluate the graft morphology.MAS score was used to evaluate the excellent and good rate of the ligament at each time point.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the degree of ligament graft vascularization.Collagen fibers and nuclear morphology were observed,and nuclear morphology was scored.Ultrastructural remodeling was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The ligament healing shape of the relaxation group was better at various time points after surgery,and the excellent and good rate of MAS score was higher(P<0.05).Moreover,the relaxation group could obtain higher ligament vascularization score(P<0.05).(2)The arrangement of collagen bundles and fiber bundles in the two groups gradually tended to be orderly,and the transverse fiber connections between collagen gradually increased and thickened,suggesting that the strength and shape degree of the grafts were gradually improved,but the ligament remodeling in the relaxation group was always faster than that in the normal group at various time points after surgery.(3)The diameter,distribution density,and arrangement degree of collagen fibers in the relaxation group were better than those in the normal group at all time points,especially in the comparison of collagen fiber diameter between and within the relaxation group(P<0.05).

Bovine rotavirus(BRV)is an important pathogen causing diarrhea in calves.To understand the genomic charac-teristics and genetic variations in bovine rotavirus,and to further enrich data on the biological characteristics of rotavirus,we aimed to amplify 11 gene segments of the isolated and cultured G6P[1]bovine rotavirus BLL strain,perform whole genome se-quencing,and analyze the molecular characteristics.MEGA7.0 and DNAMAN software were used for homology and typing a-nalysis,and the whole genome phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genetic evolution relationships.The complete geno-type of the BLL strain was G6-P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 and VP4 genes of the BLL strain showed that the VP7 gene had the highest homology with RVA/Cow-wt/HB01/China/2021,and the VP4 gene of the BLL strain was in the same branch as RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro8059/1995.From the sequence alignment of VP8*amino acids,the sialic acid domain of the BLL strain was found to be similar to that in other P[1]strains,but different from those in other types of strains,except for residue 189,which was the same as that in Ro8059 but different from that in other strains.The results suggested that the BLL strain might potentially infect humans.Therefore,continued monitoring and study of the biological characteristics of this strain are necessary to provide more information and evidence supporting further research on the cross-species transmission of group A rotavirus in China.

Gyrovirus galga1(GyVg1)and gyrovirus homsa1(GyH1)are two newly discovered cir-coviruses that can cause symptoms related to transmissible viral proventriculitis of chickens.These viruses have been reported in various regions worldwide.This research aims to establish a duplex real-time PCR assay capable of identifying and detecting GyVg1 and GyH1.Specific primers and probes were designed based on the conserved regions of GyVg1 and GyH1 respectively using all genome sequence data currently available in GenBank.After optimizing reaction conditions,the du-plex real-time PCR detection method was established and further validated by comparing it with a conventional PCR assay and sequencing results from an analysis of 256 clinical samples collected in 2023 across eight regions of Nanning,Guangxi.The results showed that GyVg1 and GyH1 could be identified in 1 h by the duplex real-time PCR assay and two pairs of primer probes can amplify effectively but there is no any cross reaction with other pathogens.Besides,the detection limit was determined to be 7.5 copies/μL.The correlation coefficient of standard curves exceeded 0.99,and CV for intra-and inter-assay was less than 0.45％.Based on clinical performance,when the quanti-ty of template was greater than or equal to 100 copies,the agreements between the duplex real-time PCR assay and the conventional PCR assay were 94.3％(GyVg1)and 100％(GyH1).In con-clusion,the newly developed duplex real-time PCR assays exhibited good specificity,sensitivity and repeatability,which could contribute to the rapid detection and differentiation of GyVg1 and GyH1.

Objective:To evaluate the preservation efficacy of 7 non-inactivating virus preservation solutions.Methods:Equal amounts of H1N1 virus were added to 7 commercially available non-inactivating virus preservation solutions, and the samples were stored at -20 ℃, 4 ℃, 25 ℃ and 37 ℃ for 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 day, 3 days, and 5 days. The viral nucleic acid in each simulated sample under different storage conditions was measured using real-time quantitative PCR. The hemagglutination (HA) titer was determined through viral isolation culture and hemagglutination assay, comparing the differences in viral growth activity across different storage solutions and conditions.Results:Except for solution E, the other solutions effectively protected viral nucleic acid at the 4 storage temperatures. In terms of viral activity, solutions A, B, C, and D effectively maintained viral viability. A and B showing the best performance, E and F showed poorer performance, and G performed the worst.Conclusions:Most non-inactivating virus preservation solutions effectively protect viral nucleic acid, but there are significant differences in their ability to maintain viral viability. To ensure optimal virus preservation, it is recommended that medical institutions evaluate the effectiveness of preservation solutions before use.

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 gut microbiota differences between individuals with and without colorectal adenoma(CRA)and to identify gut microbes associated with CRA.Methods:This cross-sectional study analyzed the gut microbiota of 100 patients with CRA and 68 individuals without CRA(aged 40-75 years)who underwent colonoscopies between March 2021 and March 2022 at Tianjin Nankai Hospital.Fecal samples were sequenced for the V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene using the Illumina NovaSeq platform.Results:Compared to the non-CRA group,the CRA group exhibited reduced relative abundances of identified and unidentified Lachnospiraceae,with increased Faecalibacterium and Streptococcus.In the non-CRA group,the relative abundances of Coprococcus,unidentified Clostridiaceae,and Clostridium were higher.LEfSe analysis revealed significant enrichment of Gammaproteobacteria,Proteobacteria,Enterobacteriales,and Faecalibacterium in the CRA group,while the non-CRA group was enriched for Moraxellaceae,Acinetobacter,and Anaerostipes.Conclusions:These findings suggest a discernible disparity in the gut microbiota structure between CRA patients and individuals without adenoma.The enrichment of potential pathogenic taxa,such as Faecalibacterium and Streptococcus,in the CRA group suggests a possible association with adenoma development.

The liver,as the core metabolic organ of the human body,undertakes multiple critical physiological functions such as protein synthesis,xenobiotic metabolism,and immune regulation.Liver failure represents a major disease process in patients with end-stage liver disease,characterized clinically by coagulopathy,abnormal bilirubin metabolism,and multiple organ dysfunction.Depending on the disease course,liver failure can be classified into four types:acute,subacute,acute-on-chronic,and chronic.The pathogenic mechanisms are complex,involving interactions among various factors such as pathogen infections,dysregulation of the immune microenvironment,and gut microbiota disturbances,which pose significant challenges for clinical diagnosis and treatment.This review summarizes the abnormalities in innate and adaptive immune responses,as well as the molecular mechanisms of immune metabolic dysregulation during the occurrence and progression of liver failure.It further explores the pivotal role of immune cell dysfunction in the disease process,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for targeted immune therapies in liver failure.

Objective To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types in patients with primary Sj?gren's syndrome(PSS),and to explore the correlation between TCM syndrome types and laboratory findings of immunological parameters and inflammatory cytokines.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 326 patients with PSS who attended the Department of Rheumatology of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,from January 2018 to December 2022.Analysis was carried out for the distribution of TCM syndrome types,namely yin deficiency and blood dryness syndrome,deficiency of qi and yin syndrome,internal retention of damp-heat syndrome,and stagnant heat in the collateral syndrome,in PSS patients.The gender,age of onset,and duration of disease of PSS patients with different TCM syndrome types were compared.And then an exploration was performed in the correlation between TCM syndrome types and laboratory findings of Sj?gren's syndrome antigen A antibody(anti-SSA),Sj?gren's syndrome antigen B antibody(anti-SSB),C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),immunoglobulin G(IgG),immunoglobulin A(IgA),interleukin 6(IL-6),complement 3(C3)and complement 4(C4).Results(1)The analysis of the distribution of TCM syndrome types showed that among the 326 patients,106 cases(32.5%)were differentiated as internal retention of damp-heat syndrome,which accounted for the most,and then came yin deficiency and blood dryness syndrome(84 cases,25.8%),stagnant heat in the collateral syndrome(78 cases,23.9%),and deficiency of qi and yin syndrome(58 cases,17.8%)in descending order.(2)There was no statistically significant difference in the gender among the PSS patients with different TCM syndrome types(P>0.05),but the differences of age of onset and the duration of disease among the PSS patients with different TCM syndrome types were statistically significant(P<0.05).The distribution of duration of disease and age of onset in the PSS patients with yin deficiency and blood dryness syndrome,deficiency of qi and yin syndrome,and stagnant heat in the collateral syndrome,internal retention of damp-heat syndrome was in descending order.(3)The analysis of the correlation between TCM syndrome types and laboratory findings showed that yin deficiency and blood dryness syndrome was positively correlated with anti-SSB,IgA,IgG,and C4;deficiency of qi and yin syndrome was positively correlated with anti-SSB,IgG,and C4;internal retention of damp-heat syndrome was positively correlated with CRP,ESR,IL-6,anti-SSA,and IgA;stagnant heat in the collateral syndrome was positively correlated with CRP,ESR,IL-6,and anti-SSA.The differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion The patients with PSS are usually differentiated as internal retention of damp-heat syndrome,patients with yin deficiency and blood dryness syndrome and deficiency of qi and yin syndrome usually have longer duration of disease and older age of onset,and the patients with internal retention of damp-heat syndrome and stagnant heat in the collateral syndrome usually have shorter duration of disease and younger age of onset.The laboratory findings such as immunological parameters and inflammatory cytokine are correlated with TCM syndrome types of PSS patients to some extent,which will supply guidance for the clinical differentiation of TCM syndromes of PSS.

Objective To understand the current situation and influencing factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in medical staff in Beijing City. Methods A total of 2 687 medical staff were selected as the research subjects using the multi-stage sampling method. The current situation of WMSDs and occupational stress, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and insomnia symptoms were investigated using the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, the Core Occupational Stress Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale, and the Self-Sleep Management Questionnaire. The Max-Min Hill-Climbing algorithm was used to construct a Bayesian network model to analyze the influencing factors and internal relationships of WMSDs and to conduct reasoning and prediction of the model. Results The prevalence of WMSDs among the research subjects was 88.9%. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify age, educational level, personal monthly income, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, insomnia symptoms, prolonged forward-head desk work, and prolonged static posture work to construct the Bayesian network model. The model consisted of nine nodes and eleven directed edges. Prolonged static posture work, prolonged forward-head desk work, and anxiety symptoms were directly related to WMSDs. Age and educational level were indirectly related to WMSDs through their influence on prolonged forward-head desk work. Depression symptoms were indirectly associated with WMSDs through their influence on anxiety symptoms. The model's prediction accuracy was 90.5%. Conclusion The prevalence of WMSDs among medical staff in Beijing City is relatively high. Prolonged static posture work, prolonged forward-head desk work, and anxiety symptoms may directly increase the risk of developing WMSDs.
