Objective Genotypes(G)1,3,and 5 of the Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV)have been isolated in China,but the dominant genotype circulating in Chinese coastal areas remains unknown.We searched for G5 JEV-infected cases and attempted to elucidate which JEV genotype was most closely related to human Japanese encephalitis(JE)in the coastal provinces of China. Methods In this study,we collected serum specimens from patients with JE in three coastal provinces of China(Guangdong,Zhejiang,and Shandong)from 2018 to 2020 and conducted JEV cross-neutralization tests against G1,G3,and G5. Results Acute serum specimens from clinically reported JE cases were obtained for laboratory confirmation from hospitals in Shandong(92 patients),Zhejiang(192 patients),and Guangdong(77 patients),China,from 2018 to 2020.Seventy of the 361 serum specimens were laboratory-confirmed to be infected with JEV.Two cases were confirmed to be infected with G1 JEV,32 with G3 JEV,and two with G5 JEV. Conclusion G3 was the primary infection genotype among JE cases with a definite infection genotype,and the infection caused by G5 JEV was confirmed serologically in China.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Abstract: More than 300 mosquito-borne arboviruses have been found worldwide, among which Dengue virus, Chikungunya virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, and Zika virus are circulating around the world, causing a huge public health burden and arousing widespread concern in the whole society. China's vast territory and complex geographical landscapes are suitable for the reproduction of various mosquito-borne arboviruses, so the species and geographical distribution of mosquito-borne arboviruses in China have attracted much attention. Since the 1980s, 38 mosquito-borne arboviruses belonging to nine families, including Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Togaviridae, and Reoviridae, have been isolated and identified from more than 1 million mosquitoes and human and animal specimens collected across China by means of tissue cell culture and animal inoculation. The results of field and laboratory tests indicate the existence of various mosquito-borne arboviral diseases in China, including Japanese encephalitis, Dengue fever, West Nile encephalitis, and febrile diseases caused by Tahyna virus infection. This study summarizes the species and geographical distribution of mosquito-borne arboviruses, mosquito-borne arboviruses, and their vectors, and mosquito-borne arboviral infectious diseases in China, providing technical support for the control and prevention of mosquito-borne arbovirus and their corresponding diseases, endemic management, disease early warning and prediction. Joint prevention and control of arboviral diseases in Asia and even the world is also of long-term and practical significance.

In the context of facing the dual challenges of aging population and declining birth rates, the absolute number of working-age population in China is decreasing, while the proportion of middle-aged and elderly workers is significantly increasing. However, China possesses a vast labor force, and the advantages of talent dividend are gradually emerging, both of which can offset the negative impact of the shrinking demographic dividend on social productivity. Labor is the most active factor among various production factors and is an important component for developing new quality productive forces. With the development of new quality productive forces, occupational health and occupational medicine are presented with new development opportunities. In the process of aging of the labor force, occupational health and occupational medicine can investigate how to utilize next-generation information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and other growth engines to safeguard the occupational health of workers, extend their working lives, actively unleash their creativity and initiative, and compensate for the labor shortage caused by an aging population and the potential decrease in labor productivity. This transformation in occupational health and occupational medicine is not only crucial for the health and career development of workers in an aging society, but will also have a positive impact on the creation of an age-friendly society and the sustainable development of productivity.

Chronic refractory wound (CRW) is one of the most challengeable issues in clinic due to complex pathogenesis, long course of disease and poor prognosis. Experts need to conduct systematic summary for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW due to complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis, and standard guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW should be created. The Guideline forthe diagnosis and treatment of chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic trauma patients ( version 2023) was created by the expert group organized by the Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Chinese Orthopedic Association, Chinese Society of Traumatology, and Trauma Orthopedics and Multiple Traumatology Group of Emergency Resuscitation Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association after the clinical problems were chosen based on demand-driven principles and principles of evidence-based medicine. The guideline systematically elaborated CRW from aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative management, complication prevention and comorbidity management, and rehabilitation and health education, and 9 recommendations were finally proposed to provide a reliable clinical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of CRW.

Objective To investigate whether the characteristics of pathogens mediated by Wolbachia can interfere with Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) replication and explore the regulatory role of Wolbachia on JEV replication transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH) were used to detect Wolbachia density in Aa23 (naturally infected with Wolbachia) Aedes albopictus cell and negative control Aa23T Aedes albopictus cells (Wolbachia infection was removed by tetracycline treatment). The plaque assay was conducted to measure the viral titers and cytopathic effect (CPE) in Aa23T and Aa23 cells on days 1 to 8 after JEV (P3 strain) infection. Results qPCR and RNA-FISH results consistently showed that the symbiosis of Wolbachia was negative in Aa23T cell. In Aa23 cells, the copy number of the WSP gene of Wolbachia and the fluorescence signal intensity targeting Wolbachia 16S rDNA increased with cell growth time. In response to JEV infection, Wolbachia prolonged the CPE in viral infected Aa23 cells, which compared to infected Aa23T cells. The plaque assay result has obviously showed that JEV titer in Aa23 cells (106 PFU/mL) was significantly lower than that in Aa23T control cells (108 PFU/mL). Conclusions Wolbachia significantly delays CPE of JEV on cells and inhibits JEV replication in A. albopictus cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that Wolbachia strongly inhibits JEV infection in mosquito cells. It revealed the role of Wolbachia on inhibition of the viruses that transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. In particular, it provides important experimental data and theoretical basis for application of Wolbachia-based mosquito control technology in prevention and control of JEV.

Objective:To determine the evaluation indexes of national standard strains of genotypes 1, 3 and 5 of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and evaluate the national standard JEV strains.Methods:According to the national standard strain evaluation technical standards of pathogenic microbial bacteria (virus) species, based on the application of Japanese encephalitis virus research, and according to the morphological characteristics, biological characteristics, molecular biological characteristics and other research data to identify the characteristics of G1, G3 and G5 genotypes of JEV.Results:Spherical virus particles with a diameter of about 60 nm were visible under electron microscope of the three Japanese encephalitis virus strains. The cytopathic effect was mainly characterized by cell shrinkage and exfoliation in BHK-21 and Vero cell lines, cell fusion and exfoliation were shown after infection with C6/36 cell line; the virus titer was 10 5-10 7 PFU/ml, and the plaque size was different by genotype. The median lethal dose of intrabitoneal challenge in G1, G3 and G5 JEV in three weeks-old mice was 50.51 PFU, 6.98 PFU, and 8.13 PFU, and the median lethal dose of intracranial challenge in five weeks mice was 3 PFU, 0.3 PFU, 1.35 PFU. The whole genome length of G1, G3 and G5 JEV was 10 967 bp, 10 976 bp and 10 983 bp, respectively. Conclusions:Three genotypic national standard strains of JE V were identified and evaluated by electron microscopy, cell, animal and genome laboratory indexes, which provided reference for the identification and evaluation of other national standard strains of JEV.

Objective:This study contrasts the immune efficacy of the varicella zoster virus glycoprotein E (VZV gE)using Al/CpG combined adjuvants and AS01 adjuvant in BALB/c mice.Methods:BALB/c mice were immunized at 0 and 21 days respectively, and serum antibodies were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Detection of neutralizing antibodies in mouse serum using varicella zoster virus; enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay was used to detect cellular immune response.Results:Following two intramuscular immunizations, mice in the experimental groups (Shingrix, gE+ Al/CpG, and gE+ AS01) demonstrated elevated neutralizing antibody titers and an augmented count of lymphocytes releasing IFN-γ and IL-4. The gE+ Al/CpG group displayed the highest neutralizing antibody titer (1943), yet the AS01-adjuvanted groups (Shingrix and gE+ AS01) showed increased lymphocyte counts secreting IFN-γ and IL-4 compared to the Al/CpG group (gE+ Al/CpG). In comparison to the AS01 adjuvant, Al/CpG adjuvants triggered a humoral immune response favoring Th2 in mice. The proportions of CD4 + T and CD8 + T cells were not significantly different among the experimental groups. Conclusions:Al/CpG adjuvant combined with gE protein resulted in high neutralizing antibody titers, while the intensity of the induced cellular immune response was inferior to that of AS01 adjuvant.

Objective To investigate the expression of centromere protein F(CENPF)in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)and its relationship with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.Methods Based on Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)from National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI),using GEO2R,Venn diagram,Cytoscape,MCODE and GEPIA software to screen out the suspected differential gene CENPF in PDAC;based on the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and the Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx),using NCBI,GEPIA,Ualcan,Oncomine,TIMER software and Kaplan-Meier on-line survival analysis tool to analyze its possible molecular mechanism from the level of messenger RNA(mRNA).In all,surgical specimens of 121 PDAC cases diagnosed at the pathology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical Univer-sity were analyzed from the histoprotein level to analyze the relationship between CENPF and clinicopathological features and prognosis of PDAC.Results CENPF gene was abnormally expressed in various human cancers,and there was a difference in expression between pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and normal pancreatic tissue(P<0.05),and it was related to the grading(P<0.05)and prognosis(P=0.038)of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of CENPF was correlated with nerve invasion(P=0.036),TNM stage(P=0.041),lymph node metastasis(P=0.023),degree of differentiation(P=0.020)and overall survival of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(Log-rank=18.608,P=0.000016),and CENPF expression(HR=2.654,95%CI=1.373-5.131,P=0.004)was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of PDAC patients.CENPF combined with other key module genes in PDAC was mainly enriched in exosomes,extracellular mechanisms,and was related to serine endopeptidase activity and metalloendopeptidase activity.The action pathway of CENPF single gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was mainly related to cell cycle,P53 pathway,ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis,and played a joint role with P53 and MDM2 in PDAC.Immune infiltration studies showed that CENPF expression was negatively correlated with CD4+T lymphocyte infiltration and positively correlated with dendritic cell infiltration(both P<0.05).Conclusion CEN-PF may be involved in the progression of PDAC,and high expression of CENPF indicates a poorer prognosis.Our research is expected to provide more scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of PDAC.
