Traditional experimental methods are insufficient in the study of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) supramolecular structure and hydration expansion performance, and information on interlayer anionic arrangement and structural water molecules cannot be obtained. Aspartic acid intercalated magnesium aluminum hydrotalcite was synthesized using coprecipitation and ion exchange. The structure of hydrotalcite precursor and its aspartic acid composite materials was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy, and Materials Studio software was used to simulate the molecular dynamics of microstructure and hydration properties of LDHs intercalated with the aspartic acid drug. The prepared composite material had a regular layered structure and a single crystal phase. After intercalation with aspartic acid, the interlayer spacing increased from 0.84 nm to 1.13−1.17 nm; after intercalation, the thermal decomposition temperature of aspartic acid increased from 249 °C to 334 °C, greatly improving its thermal stability. The interlayer spacing of the intercalated hydrotalcite obtained from the experiment was close to the molecular dynamics simulation results when Nw=3−4. As more water molecules were inserted between the layers, the greater the interlayer distance became. Hydration energy increased gradually and tended to a certain value. The total number of hydrogen bonds increased gradually, the hydrogen bonds between laminates and anions decreased gradually, but the hydrogen bonds between laminates and water molecules increased gradually. The simulation results are close to the experimental results, which can lay a foundation for the design and synthesis of LDHs-based drug composites.

Objective To investigate the equivalent conversion of head injury criterion(HIC)under anterior-posterior(AP)and lateral-medial(LM)craniocerebral impact for mild craniocerebral injury in rats using motor evoked potential(MEP)and β-amyloid precursor protein(β-APP)immunohistochemistry(IHC).Methods Sixty healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 0 m control group,0.5 m-AP and 0.5 m-LM injury groups,and 1 m-AP and 1 m-LM injury groups(12 rats in each group).The control group did not undergo any impact injury experiment.After the impact injury experiment,the injury and control groups were subjected to excessive anesthesia to produce β-APP immunohistochemical stained slices,and the percentage of positive area and integral optical density(IOD)in the brainstem pyramidal tract area of the slices were determined.The MEP groups were divided in the same manner as the IHC groups and the MEP amplitudes of the MEP and control groups were measured after the impact injury experiment.Results With an increase in the degree of injury,the decrease in MEP amplitude,percentage of positive areas,and IOD in the injury groups significantly increased.When the degree of injury was low,the sensitivity of IHC was higher than that of MEP.When the degree of injury was the same,the HIC in the LM direction was lower than that in the AP direction.When the HIC was the same,the degree of injury in the LM direction was greater than that in the AP direction.Conclusions The joint evaluation of MEP and β-APP can provide experimental references for the study of HIC equivalent conversion in AP-LM craniocerebral impact injury.

Background and purpose:Currently,for patients with mid-to-low locally advanced rectal cancer and potentially resectable T4bM0 colon cancer,guidelines recommend neoadjuvant therapy strategies to enhance the response rate and increase the likelihood of conversion surgery.Among these patients,ypⅢ stage colorectal cancer(CRC)is assessed using the Union for International Cancer Control(UICC)/American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)TNM staging system for postoperative pathological features.However,neoadjuvant therapy can lead to lymph node regression in the surgical area,resulting in an insufficient number of detected lymph nodes(less than 12),preventing classification according to conventional TNM staging.Thus,TNM staging often fails to predict the prognosis of ypⅢ patients who have undergone neoadjuvant therapy.This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the positive lymph node ratio(LNR)in ypⅢ stage CRC patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy.Methods:Retrospective data was collected from ypⅢ stage CRC patients who received neoadjuvant therapy and underwent radical surgery at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between 2008 and 2018.Collect clinical pathological characteristics such as age,gender,primary tumor location,tumor differentiation grade,pathological staging,and whether the patient has relapsed or died during follow-up at the time of surgery.Inclusion criteria:CRC patients who have received neoadjuvant therapy and surgery and have been confirmed to be stage Ⅲ by postoperative pathological examination.Exclusion criteria:① Preoperative imaging examination or intraoperative exploration reveals distant organ metastasis;② History of malignant tumors in the past;③ Multiple primary CRC.This study was approved by the medical ethics committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(ethics number:050432-4-2108*).The R software survminer package(surv_cutpoint algorithm)was used to calculate the optimal cutoff value for LNR relative to disease-free survival(DFS),and patients were divided into low and high LNR groups accordingly.Clinical pathological characteristics and DFS were compared between the two groups.COX proportional hazards regression models were employed to identify adverse pathological features,and survival plots along with prediction models for DFS were generated using the survival and rms packages.Results:A total of 489 patients were included,comprising 289 males and 200 females,with a median age of 56 years(23-80 years)and a median follow-up time of 1 062 d.During the follow-up period,164 patients(33.5%)died.In the entire cohort,204(41.7%)patients had fewer than 12 lymph nodes detected.The optimal cutoff value for LNR was 0.29,classifying 317 patients into the low LNR group(LNR≤0.29)and 172 patients into the high LNR group(LNR>0.29).The high LNR group exhibited shorter DFS compared to the low LNR group[hazard ratio(HR)=2.103,95%CI:1.582-2.796,P<0.000 1].Multivariate COX regression indicated that LNR was an independent prognostic factor for DFS(HR=1.825,95%CI:1.391-2.394,P<0.001).The inclusion of LNR in a multicategory DFS nomogram prediction model effectively assessed DFS in stage Ⅲ CRC patients who had undergone neoadjuvant therapy.Conclusion:LNR is an independent prognostic factor for ypⅢ stage CRC patients,showing good predictive power for DFS when combined with other adverse pathological features.Therefore,incorporating LNR as a supplement to TNM staging can improve the accuracy of CRC prognosis assessment.

Objective To analyze the identification of pathogenic bacteria in municipal sewage of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province from January to October 2023, to understand the serotype and drug resistance of Vibrio cholerae isolated from sewage, as well as to predict the virulence gene and drug resistance gene carrying situation. Methods From January to October 2023, urban sewage samples from various environments in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, were continuously collected for bacterial isolation and culture. The serotypes of 27 Vibrio cholerae strains were identified by slide agglutination method, and the drug sensitivity test was conducted by micro broth dilution method. Whole genome sequence and bioinformatics software were used to predict drug resistance genes and virulence genes. Results The sewage identification results showed 26 bacteria genera, including Salmonella, Vibrio, Enterobacter, and Aeromonas, among 82 bacterial species. All 27 strains of Vibrio cholerae were non-O1 and non-O139 serogroups. The strains showed high resistance rates to ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam and cotrimoxazole at 59.26%, 14.81%, and 14.81%, respectively), exhibited high sensitivity to cefotaxime, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, meropenem, ertapenem, ceftazidime, ceftazidime/avibactam, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, tigecycline, and azithromycin. A total of 21 different drug resistance genes were detected in 11 strains of Vibrio cholerae, among which the highest carriage rate of β-lactam resistance genes reached 63.64%, and 1 strain carried 17 kinds of drug resistance genes. None of the 11 strains of Vibrio cholerae carried ctxA, ctxB, ace, zot, or chxA genes, but all the strains carried rtxB, rtxC, and rtxD genes; 90.91% of the strains carried hlyA, and 36.36% carried rtxA. Conclusions All Vibrio cholerae isolated from sewage in this study are non-O1 and non-O139 serogroups, showing good sensitivity to most antibiotics, but also they carry a certain number of drug-resistance genes and virulence genes. This suggests that future monitoring efforts should focus on these strains, providing certain data support for the study of the characteristics of Vibrio cholerae isolated from sewage.
