OBJECTIVE To preliminarily assess the horizontal sound localization and its influencing factors in patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss during the acute phase.METHODS The azimuth discrimination test and azimuth identification test were completed,with the speech sound(65 dB SPL)as the stimulus.The minimum audible angle(MAA)and root-mean-square error(RMSE)were obtained,and the RMSE of the affected side and the healthy side were calculated respectively.According to the WHO(2021)hearing loss classification criteria,the data were analyzed based on the pure-tone average(PTA)of the affected ear.And the best resident hearing at each frequency of the affected ear was recorded.RESULTS The performance of the unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients in the sound localization varied greatly.Some performed close to the normal level,while others completely lost the ability to localize sound.The RMSE of the moderate hearing loss group(≥35 dB HL)was significantly higher than that of the normal hearing group(P<0.01),the MAA of the moderate to severe hearing loss group(≥50 dB HL)showed statistically significant differencescompared with normal hearing group(P<0.001).The RMSE of the affected side of patients in the severe and above hearing loss group was significantly larger than that of the healthy side.Regression analysis showed that the best resident hearing at each frequency of the affected ear was the most significant factor affecting MAA(R2=0.572,P<0.001)and RMSE(R2=0.768,P<0.001).CONCLUSION The horizontal sound localization of unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients in the acute phase varies greatly.When the PTA of the affected side reaches moderate hearing loss,the localization ability is significantly lower than that of normal-hearing individuals.The best resident hearing at each frequency of the affected ear is the key factor affecting the localization ability.

ObjectiveBased on the concept of quality by design(QbD), the processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized, and its X-ray diffraction(XRD) fingerprint was established. MethodsThe safety, effectiveness and quality controllability of calcined Pyritum were taken as the quality profile(QTPP), the color, hardness, metallic luster, phase composition, the contents of heavy metals and hazardous elements were taken as the critical quality attributes(CQAs), and the calcination temperature, calcination time, paving thickness and particle size were determined as the critical process parameters(CPPs). Differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) were used to analyze the correlation between the calcination temperature and CQAs of calcined Pyritum. Then, based on the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation(CRITIC)-entropy weight method, the optimal processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized by orthogonal test. Powder XRD was used to analyze the phase of calcined Pyritum samples processed according to the best process, and the mean and median maps of calcined Pyritum were established by the superposition of geometric topological figures, and similarity evaluation and cluster analysis were carried out. ResultsThe results of single factor experiments showed that the physical phase of Pyritum changed from FeS2 to Fe7S8 during the process of temperature increase, the color gradually deepened from dark yellow, and the contents of heavy metals and harmful elements decreased. The optimized processing process of calcined Pyritum was as follows:calcination temperature at 750 ℃, calcination time of 2.5 h, paving thickness of 3 cm, particle size of 0.8-1.2 cm, vinegar quenching 1 time[Pyritum-vinegar(10∶3)]. After calcination, the internal structure of Pyritum was honeycomb-shaped, which was conducive to the dissolution of active ingredients. XRD fingerprints of 13 batches of calcined Pyritum characterized by 10 common peaks were established. The similarities of the relative peak intensities of the XRD fingerprints of the analyzed samples were>0.96, and it could effectively distinguish the raw products and unqualified products. ConclusionTemperature is the main factor affecting the quality of calcined Pyritum. After processing, the dissolution of the effective components in Pyritum increases, and the contents of heavy metals and harmful substances decrease, reflecting the function of processing to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. The optimized processing process is stable and feasible, and the established XRD fingerprint can be used as one of the quality control standards of calcined Pyritum.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze the genetic variation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) type 39 genomes and to predict and screen the dominant T-cell and B-cell epitopes of the viral early proteins (E1, E2, E6, E7) and late proteins (L1, L2).Methods:A total of 70 full-length sequences of HPV39 variants were retrieved from the clinical samples and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to construct a phylogenetic tree, analyze genetic polymorphisms, and predict the physicochemical properties of the viral proteins. Next, T-cell and B-cell epitopes were predicted using IEDB and ABCpred, and potential dominant epitopes were further selected based on parameters such as the secondary structure of the epitope region, peptide flexibility, hydrophilicity, surface accessibility and antigenicity. Finally, a homology analysis of the potential dominant epitopes was performed with 12 high-risk HPV types.Results:HPV39 variants from different sources can be clustered into two lineages (A and B), each exhibiting distinct mutation patterns. The mutation rate was the highest in E7 and the lowest in E1 among the different viral genes. However, these nucleotide/amino acid mutations did not significantly impact the physicochemical properties of the viral proteins. After prediction and screening, 5 and 6 potential dominant B-cell epitopes were identified in both L1 and L2, respectively. E1, E2, E6, and E7 yielded 18, 10, 4, and 1 potential dominant HLA-I restricted T-cell epitopes, respectively. Additionally, E1, E2, and E6 yielded 7, 3, and 2 potential dominant HLA-II restricted T-cell epitopes, respectively. Homology analysis indicated that T-cell dominant epitopes in E1, E2, and E6, as well as B-cell epitopes in L2, showed high homology (93%-100%) with HPV68, HPV33, HPV45, and HPV59.Conclusions:Bioinformatics analysis and prediction revealed that HPV39 variants can be clustered into two main evolutionary branches, A and B, each exhibiting a specific mutation pattern. The viral proteins contain potential dominant T-cell and B-cell epitopes that can be further investigated, providing valuable theoretical support for the development of HPV39-related peptide-based vaccines and therapeutics.
