Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of active pulmonary tuberculosis (pulmonary tuberculosis) in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023 and predict the incidence trend of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi'an by using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) product seasonal models to provide a decision-making basis for tuberculosis prevention and control.Methods:The incidence data of pulmonary tuberculosis reported in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023 were collected through the Tuberculosis Information Management System of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The Excel 2016 software was used for descriptive statistical analysis of pulmonary tuberculosis incidence data reported in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023. The SPSS 20.0 software was used to establish an ARIMA product seasonal model to predict the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi'an.Results:A total of 49 860 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Xi'an from 2013 to 2023, with an annual average incidence of 45.60/100 000. The incidence showed a downward trend in the past decade. The incidence was high in spring, with a peak from March to May, a small peak from November to January, and a low incidence in February and October. The annual average incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in 2 suburban counties (52.80/100 000) was higher than that in 14 urban areas (43.21/100 000) ( χ2=20.19, P<0.001). With the increase of age, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis was higher, and the incidence of the males was higher than that of female ( χ2=378.34, P<0.001), the ratio of male to female incidence was 1.73∶1. The most occupation of the population was farmers, accounting for 46.54%. The established ARIMA (0, 1, 1) (1, 1, 1) 12 product seasonal model exhibited a good prediction effect, with the Bayesian Information Criterion being -1.567, the root mean square error being 0.42, and the mean absolute percentage error being 9.62. The average relative error between the actual value and the predicted value was 6.63%, and the 95% CI of the predicted value included the actual value. Conclusions:2013-2023, the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xi'an has been on the decline as a whole. Special attention should be paid to the prevention and control of tuberculosis in districts (counties) adjacent to mountainous areas in the south, people aged 60 years and above, and farmers and other vulnerable groups. The established ARIMA (0, 1, 1) (1, 1, 1) 12 product seasonal model exhibited a good predictive effect and can be applied to the short-term prediction of tuberculosis incidence.

This study aims to prepare monoclonal antibody to S1 protein of porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus(PEDV).E.coli expression system and affinity chromatography were used to success-fully obtain purified recombinant PEDV S1 protein.After immunizing BALB/c mice,hybridoma technology and indirect ELISA were used to prepare and screen positive hybridoma cells.Finally,ascites antibodies were prepared by in vivo induction method.ELISA results showed that a total of 4 hybridoma cell lines with anti-PEDV S1 monoclonal antibody were screened,and they were named E6,G3,H6 and F2.The supernatant titers of all 4 hybridoma cell lines reached 1∶6 400.The monoclonal antibody H6 with higher antibody titers and more stable antibody secretion was selected for antibody type identification.It was found that monoclonal antibody H6 belongs to the IgG1 subclass and the light chain is the λ chain.The antibody titers that induced mouse ascites were 1∶106 and without cross-reaction with other proteins.Western blot results showed that the monoclonal antibody exhibited specific bands at 38 kDa with the recombinant S1 protein,PEDV QY2016,and PEDV CV777 strains.The IFA results also showed that the monoclonal antibody reacted with cells infected with PEDV QY2016 and PEDV CV777 strains,exhibiting a green fluo-rescent signal.The affinity constant of monoclonal antibody H6 was K=1.75×107 moL/L,indica-ting that the H6 strain had a good affinity and could be used for the development of subsequent di-agnostic antibodies.In summary,this study successfully prepared monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize PEDV S1 protein,which can be used for the antigen detection of PEDV and providing important test materials for the research of PEDV detection methods.

Objective:To explore the relationship between urinary exosomal microRNA (exo-miR) - 155 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the onset and severity of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Methods:From January to May 2019, 5 patients with T2DM normoalbuminuria and 5 patients with type 2 DKD were recruited from the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Chongming Hospital of Shanghai Health Medical College as a microRNA screening cohort. Urine samples were collected to extract urinary exosomes, and the urine exo-miR spectrum was detected and analyzed using the miRCURY LNA array. From June 2019 to October 2022, 351 patients with T2DM who met the enrollment criteria and were matched by age and sex were included in the validation cohort in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of the hospital. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR): normoalbuminuria group (UACR<30 mg/g, n=143), microalbuminuria group (30 mg/g≤UACR≤300 mg/g, n=171) and macroalbuminuria group (UACR>300 mg/g, n=37). According to DKD diagnostic guidelines, microalbuminuria group and macroalbuminuria group were classified into DKD group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression level of exo-miR-155 in urine. Results:The results of transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and Western blotting showed that the extraction of exosome vesicles was successful. In the screening cohort, according to the screening criteria of P<0.05 and fold changes (FC)>1.5, 226 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified from the urinary exosomes of the DKD group compared to the T2DM group. Among them, miR-155 ranged highest (FC=32.75, P<0.001). In the validation cohort, compared with the normoalbuminuria group [0.76 (0.55, 0.95)], the macroalbuminuria group [1.84 (1.18, 2.42)] had the most significant increase in urinary exo-miR-155 level ( Z=-7.411, P<0.001), followed by the microalbuminuria group [0.86 (0.69, 1.25)] ( Z=-4.092, P<0.001), and the urinary exo-miR-155 level in the macroalbuminuria group was significantly higher than that in the microalbuminuria group ( Z=-5.841, P<0.001). The correlation analysis showed that urinary exo-miR-155 level was positively correlated with UACR ( r s=0.329, P<0.001) and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate ( r s=-0.249, P=0.015). The results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of urinary exo-miR-155 level predicted DKD progression in T2DM patients was 0.892 (95% CI 0.859-0.925), corresponding cutoff value was 0.982, and the sensitivity and specificity were 71.9% and 87.7%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that urinary exo-miR-155≥0.982 was an independent risk factor for progression to DKD in T2DM patients ( OR=3.310, 95% CI 1.981-5.530, P<0.001). Conclusion:The expression level of urinary exo-miR-155 is increased in T2DM patients with microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, which is related to the degree of albuminuria, and can be used as a predictive marker to identify potential DKD.

Objective To evaluate the subclinical dysfunction of left ventricle (LV) induced by anthracycline(ATC) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) as well as real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE).Methods Traditional echocardiography images and RT3DE images were acquired from 59 patients with DLBCL before,after the completion of two cures(100 mg∕m 2)and four cures of the regimen(200 mg∕m 2).LV global longitudinal strain(GLS),global circumferential strain(GCS),LV apical rotation and basal rotation,LV end-diastolic volume (EDV),end-systolic volume (ESV),stroke volume(SV) and ejection fraction(EF)were calculated simultaneously.Results Compared with baseline, LV apical rotation and basal rotation reduced significantly after two cures and four cures of therapy [LV apical rotation:(5.34±1 .80)°vs (3.80±1 .45)°vs (2.96±1 .1 8)°;LV basal rotation:(-3.32±1 .14)°vs (-2.65±1 .12)°vs (-2.56±1 .19)°;both P <0.01].LV GLS and GCS decreased significantly till four cures of treatment compared with those at baseline[GLS:(-21 .62±2.5 1)% vs(-20.1 7±2.74)%;GCS:(-26.34±4.76)% vs (-23.27 ±4.73)%;both P <0.01].The alternation on EDV,ESV,SV and EF manifested no visible degradation during the whole procedure (P > 0.05 for all). Conclusions Cardiotoxicity during the early phase of anthracycline treatment can be detected via 2DSTE prior to the traditional echocardiographic expression of ventricular systolic function.The left ventricular rotation index seems to be more sensitive than strain parameters for the estimation of early cardiac injury in patients with ATC chemotherapy.There is no safe dose for anthracycline in all patients with DLBCL treated with anthracycline even at lower doses.

Objective Both right and left ventricular function should be taken into account in the assessment of anthracycline (ATC)-induced cardiotoxicity.The aim of this study was to assess the subclinical dysfunction of right cardiac system in patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma who received ATC treatment by echocardiography.Methods A total of 74 patients with lymphoma who received ATC treatment were enrolled.Each patient underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination before chemotherapy as well as after two,four and six cycles of ATC remedy.Right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic area (EDA) and end-systolic area (ESA) were calculated.RV end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV),as well as RV ejection fraction (EF) were measured simultaneously.Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) measurements of systolic and early or late diastolic myocardial velocities of RV free wall at tricuspid annuals were also analyzed.Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) was conducted to evaluate RV free wall strain along with strain rate.Results None of the echocardiographic parameters showed significant alteration after two and four cycles of chemotherapy compared with those at baseline (P＞0.05).At the end of the therapy (i.e.after six cycles of ATC treatment),there was still no statistical difference on TDI data aswell as 2DSTE measurements (P＞0.05).An unexpected finding was that the RAEDA((6.6±1.9) cm2 vs (7.7±2.4) cm2) and RAESA ((8.8±2.5) cm2 vs (10.8±2.8) cm2) revealed obvious dilatation after six cures of the regimen compared with those at baseline (P＜0.01).Similar morphologic characteristics displayed on the RVEDA ((14.1 ±3.4) cm2 vs (16.2±3.7) cm2) and RVESA ((7.9±1.9) cm2 vs (9.0±2.2) cm2) (P＜0.01)simultaneously.Furthermore,RVEDV ((29.8±10.5) ml vs (37.0±12.7) ml) and RVESV ((12.7±4.4) ml vs (15.0±5.2) ml),as well as RVEF ((59.4±5.8)％ vs (56.4±5.8)％),in patients with lymphoma presented statistically significant difference between basic state and the level after six cycles of chemotherapy (P＜0.01).Meanwhile,no marked change was detected on left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) throughout the follow-up period (P＞0.05).Conclusions Echocardiography can be used easily and noninvasively to assess right cardiac system subclinical dysfunction.ATC-induced cardiotoxicity of right cardiac system is firstly manifested as morphological changes than the measurements with novel echocardiographic techniques.In addition,RVEF expresses as a valuable parameter for assessing subtle RV impaired performance in patients with lymphoma received ATC therapy.

Purpose The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of benign and malignant biliary stricture are significantly different. This study aims to evaluate the quantitative analysis of biliary structures using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) combined with dynamic contrast enhanced CT (DCE-CT).Materials and Methods The quantitative parameters of MRCP and DCE-CT imaging data from 27 patients with benign biliary stricture (benign group) and 30 patients with malignant biliary stricture (malignant group) were retrospectively analyzed. The wall thickness, stricture length and diameter, proximal ductal dilatation and degree of enhancement in two groups were compared, and its correlation was analyzed to evaluate the accuracy of MRCP and DCE-CT.Results There were significant differences in wall thickness [(3.2±2.0) mmvs (2.1±0.6) mm], stricture length [(15.8±8.1) mmvs (9.5±6.5) mm] and diameter [0 mmvs (2.0±0.9) mm], proximal ductal dilatation and the degree of enhancement [(12.7±3.6) mmvs (9.3±2.7) mm] between the two groups (t=2.825, 3.270, 4.025,P<0.001;Z=-3.909,P<0.001). Multivariable stepwise regression analysis showed that the wall thickness and diameter, and the CT HU in portal venous and equilibrium phases combined with CT plain scanning were significant predictors of malignant biliary strictures (t=-6.424-2.309,P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, inter-modality agreement and Youden index of MRCP and DCE-CT in diagnosing 57 patients with biliary stricture were 96.67%, 100.00%, 98.25% and 0.97, respectively; with statistical significance in predicting benign and malignant biliary stricture (AUC=0.994,P<0.001).Conclusion Using MRCP and DCE-CT, the wall thickness and diameter of the stricture, and the difference in CT HU in portal venous and equilibrium phases combined with CT plain scanning are valuable in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant biliary stricture.

For effective inhalable dry-powder drug delivery, tetrandrine-PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) nanocomposite particles have been developed to overcome the disadvantages of nanoparticles and microparticles. The primary nanoparticles were prepared by using premix membrane emulsification method. To prepare second particles, they were spray dried. The final particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dry laser particle size analysis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared analysis (IR) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The average size of the primary particles was (337.5 ± 6.2) nm, while that second particles was (3.675 ± 0.16) μm which can be decomposed into primary nanoparticles in water. And the second particles were solid sphere-like with the drug dispersed as armorphous form in them. It is a reference for components delivery to lung in a new form.
