Aim To investigate the protective poten-tial of paeoniflorin 6-oxy-benzenesulfonate(CP-25)in preserving knee cartilage integrity in osteoarthritis mice through inhibition of GRK2 activity.Methods The posttraumatic osteoarthritis model was established fol-lowing DMM surgery.The experiment consisted of a sham operation group,a model group,a CP-25 admin-istration group,and a paroxetine positive control group.Intragastric administration commenced after the surgery.After 12 weeks of administration,the animals were euthanized.Micro-CT imaging was used to ob-serve the knee cartilage degeneration and abnormal bone remodeling,and the joint histopathology of mice was observed by staining with ferrubens solid green.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression level of related molecules in cartilage tissue.Furthermore,Western blot was em-ployed to determine GRK2 and EP4 membrane protein expression levels as well as total protein levels of GRK2 and MMP13 following CP-25 treatment.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the articular cartilage in the model group was significantly degrad-ed,with the cartilage surface calcifying and osteo-phytes forming.CP-25 could significantly reduce the number of osteophytes and the thickness of the sub-chondral plate of articular cartilage,promote the regen-eration of the cartilage matrix,reduce the expression of cartilage matrix degradation protein,and have a signifi-cant protective effect on knee cartilage.Immunohisto-chemical and immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the model group,CP-25 treatment sig-nificantly decreased the expressions of GRK2,AD-AMTS5 and MMP13 in knee tissue and increased the expressions of Col Ⅱ and Aggrecan in knee tissue.The results of in vitro experiments showed that CP-25 ad-ministration could significantly reduce the expression levels of GRK2 membrane protein and total protein,in-crease the level of EP4 membrane protein,and de-crease the level of MMP13.Conclusions The ad-ministration of CP-25 can significantly promote the re-generation of articular cartilage matrix in OA mice,re-duce the degradation of cartilage matrix,and exhibit therapeutic effects on OA.The mechanism behind this is related to the inhibition of GRK2-mediated cartilage matrix metabolism.

Objective To explore clinical effect of closed reduction percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail assisted by arthrography in the treatment of radial neck fracture in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 chil-dren with radial neck fracture treated with arthrography assisted closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail internal fixation(arthrography with elastic nail group)from January 2019 to December 2022,including 12 males and 11 fe-males,aged from 2 to 12 years old with an average of(7.36±1.89)years old;According to Judet fracture types,14 children were type Ⅲ and 9 children were type Ⅳ.In addition,23 children with radial neck fracture were selected from January 2015 to December 2018 who were treated with closed reduction and percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation(elastic nail group),including 11 males and 12 females,aged from 2 to 14 years old with an average of(7.50±1.91)years old;Judet classi-fication included 15 children were type Ⅲ and 8 children were type Ⅳ.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between two groups.Metaizeau evaluation criteria was used to evaluate fracture reduction,and Tibone-Stoltz evaluation criteria was used to evaluate functional recovery of elbow between two groups.Results Both groups were followed up for 12 to 24 months with an average of(16.56±6.34)months.Operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times of elastic nail group were(56.64±19.27)min and(21.13±7.87)times,while those of joint angiography with elastic nail group were(40.33±1 1.50)min and(12.10±3.52)times;there were difference between two groups(P＜0.05).According to Metaizeau evaluation,11 patients got excellent result,9 good and 3 fair in joint angiography with elastic nail group,while in elastic nail group,5 ex-cellent,13 good,4 acceptable,and 1 poor;the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Tibone-Stoltz criteria,14 patients got excellent result,8 good,and 1 fair in joint arthrography with elastic nail group;while in elastic nail group,12 patients got excellent result,9 good,1 fair and 1 poor;there was no significant difference between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared to percutaneous elastic intramedullary nail fixation,closed reduction assisted by arthrography has advantages of reduced operation time,decreased intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,and improved fracture reduction.Arthrography enables clear visualization of the anatomical structures of radius,head,neck,bone,and cartilage in children,facilitating comprehensive display of fracture reduction and brachioradial joint alignment.This technique more pre-cisely guides the depth of elastic intramedullary nail implantation in radius neck,thereby enhancing surgical efficiency and success rate.

This study was aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of vector control efforts at the 19th Asian Games in Hang-zhou,to provide a reference for future vector control at similar large-scale events.We collected and analyzed vector organism monitoring data for various venues at Asian Games(branch)villages and designated reception hotels(hotels and guesthouses)associated with the Asian Games in Hangzhou from April to October of 2023.Excel 2019 software and SPSS 20.0 software were used to organize the data.Paired t tests(for normally distributed data)or Wilcoxon signed rank tests(for data not nor-mally distributed)were performed,and count data were analyzed statistically with x2 tests.The larva mosquito path index at Asian Games venues peaked in June and then declined month by month.The first circle area of the adult mosquito human trapping index peaked in June,and the second circle area peaked in July.The mosquito indicators reached the corre-sponding control standards before the Asian Games.Moreo-ver,the differences in mosquito density before and after the Asian Games were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Both the positivity rate and density of flies in rooms reached level A in the first and second circle areas from April to October.The proportion of indoor fly-proof facilities meeting the standards was lowest in May,then gradually increased.The corresponding control standards were reached in the first round in the fourth week of September,and in the second round in the first week of October.The difference in the density of positivity for room flies before and after the Asian Games was statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Rodent density reached the corre-sponding control standards in the second week of September.The proportion of anti-rodent facilities meeting the standards was lowest in June,and then gradually increased.The first round began to meet the corresponding control standards in the fourth week of September,and the second round began to meet the corresponding control standards in the first week of October.Ex-cept for the outdoor rat density path index,which was statistically significant before and after the Asian Games,the other indi-cators showed no statistical significance(P＞0.05).The cockroach density in the first circle area reached level A in all months,and that in the second circle area reached level B in mid-August.Vector control in the Hangzhou Asian Games achieved the ex-pected results,with no vector infringement or local vector-borne infectious diseases occurring.In future vector control for large-scale events,vector density monitoring should be performed as early as possible,and comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken to maintain low vector density and prevent vector infringement incidents.

Objective:To investigate the effect of progression of disease within 24 months(POD24)on overall survival(OS)in patients with mantle cell lymphoma(MCL),and compare the clinical characteristics between POD24 and non-POD24 patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 50 MCL patients with treatment indications and regular treatment who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to August 2020.According to the occurrence of POD24,the patients were grouped for prognostic evaluation and clinical characteristics comparison.Results:Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that POD24,PLT,albumin,MIPI score,ECOG PS score,LDH were the factors influencing OS in newly diagnosed MCL patients(all P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that POD24[HR=16.797(95％CI:3.671-76.861),P＜0.001],albumin＜40 g/L[HR=3.238(95％CI:1.095-9.572),P=0.034]and ECOG PS score≥2[HR=4.005(95％CI:1.033-15.521),P=0.045]were independent risk factors influencing OS in MCL patients.The incidence of PLT＜100 × 109/L(33.3％vs 5.9％,P=0.033)and ECOG PS score≥2(45.5％vs 5.9％,P=0.040)were significantly higher in POD24 patients than those in non-POD24 patients.Conclusion:POD24 is an independent poor prognostic factor affecting the OS of MCL patients,and the patients with PLT＜100 × 109/L and ECOG PS score ≥2 at diagnosis have a higher probability of POD24.

Objective:To investigate the relative expression level and clinical significance of LINC00475 in serum of patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The expression of LINC00475 in serum of 108 MM patients and five MM cell lines including RPMI 8226,NCI-H929,U266,OPM2 and CAG were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The diagnostic value of LINC00475 in MM was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.The correlation of LINC00475 with patients'characteristics was analyzed.Results:Compared with control groups,the expression of LINC00475 was up-regulated in serum of MM patients and MM cell lines(all P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of LINC00475 was 262.4,the area under curve(AUC)was 0.924(95％CI:0.884-0.964),and sensitivity and specificity was 83.3％and 91.7％,respectively,which indicated that LINC00475 had good evaluation value in MM patients.Compared with low-LINC00475 expression group,patients in high-LINC00475 expression group had higher levels of β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)and Cystatin C(Cys-C)but lower albumin(ALB)(all P＜0.05).Compared with MM patients with International Staging System(ISS)stage I,the expression level of LINC00475 was significantly higher in patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ(both P＜0.05).Conclusion:LINC00475 is helpful to distinguish MM patients from healthy adults,which is correlated with the prognostic indicators such as β2-MG,ALB,and ISS stage.

Objective:To investigate the effect of endothelial activation and stress index(EASIX)on the prognosis of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(AITL)and peripheral T-cell lymphoma,not otherwise specified(PTCL-NOS),and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients in the low EASIX and high EASIX groups.Methods:The clinical data of 59 newly diagnosed AITL and PTCL-NOS patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The optimal cut-off value of EASIX was determined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve;The chi-square test was used to analyze the correlation between EASIX and clinical features of patients with AITL and PTCL-NOS;The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)of the patients;Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed by using Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The optimal cut-off value of EASIX was 0.95,based on which the patients were divided into a low EASIX(＜0.95)group and a high EASIX(≥ 0.95)group.Compared with the low EASIX group,the high EASIX group had a higher proportion of patients with advanced Ann Arbor stage,higher risk according to IPI,elevated LDH,hypoproteinemia,anemia,B symptoms,extranodal involvement,and bone marrow involvement.Survival analysis showed that the OS and PFS of patients in the high EASIX group were significantly shorter than those in the lower EASIX group(P＜0.001).The multivariate analysis showed that EASIX was an independent risk factor for OS[HR=7.217(95％CI:1.959-26.587),P=0.003]and PFS[HR=2.718(95％CI:1.032-7.161),P=0.043]of PTCL patients.Conclusion:High EASIX in newly diagnosed patients with AITL and PTCL-NOS suggests a poor prognosis,and high EASIX is a risk factor affecting prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To prepare a 177Lu labeled human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody 177Lu-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-maleimide (Mal)-cysteine (Cys)-ZHER 2: 342 ( 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 for short), and investigate its labeling process and anti-tumor properties. Methods:Two kinds of buffer systems (sodium acetate buffer system and sodium ascorbate buffer system) were investigated. The effects of pH value, precursor mass and reaction temperature on 177Lu labeling NOTA-MZHER2 were compared to obtain optimal labeling conditions. The radiochemical purity of labeled product was determined by instant thin-layer chromatography (ITLC), and its stabilities in PBS and plasma were observed. Human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 was selected for cell internalization and cytotoxicity test to evaluate cell uptake and killing effect of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2. SKOV-3 tumor-bearing mice( n=3) were injected with 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2, and microSPECT/CT imaging was performed. Another 40 tumor-bearing mice were divided into 22.2 MBq group (tail vein injection with probe of 22.2 MBq), control group (tail vein injection with PBS), low-dose group (tumor injection with probe of 3.7 MBq) and high-dose group (tumor injection with probe of 7.4 MBq). Tumor volume and mass of tumor-bearing mice were monitored after injection, and the anti-tumor effect and toxicity of probe were evaluated. Repeated measurement analysis of variance (Bonferroni method) was used to analyze the data. Results:The optimal labeling condition was 70-80 ℃ for 30 min in the system of sodium acetate buffer solution with pH=4 and precursor mass of 50 μg. Under these conditions, the labeling rate of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 was (99.3±0.4)% and radiochemical purity was >99%. After 12 d in PBS and plasma, the radiochemical purities were (95.0±1.5)% and (95.0±2.1)%. Results of cell experiment showed that the internalization of 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 accounted for (29.02±3.50)% of the total uptake, and the survival rate of SKOV-3 cells was (48±6)% with the probe concerntration of 6×10 -3 Bq/L. SPECT imaging showed that 177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 was still concentrated at the tumor site 96 h after injection with a dose of 18.5 MBq. Relative tumor volume (RTV) of tumor-bearing mice in 22.2 MBq group, high-dose group and low-dose group was significantly different from that in control group ( F=21.75, P<0.001). Twenty days after injection, RTV and relative body mass of the tumor-bearing mice in high-dose group were (140±7)% and (80±9)%, respectively. Compared with control group, high-dose group had obvious anti-tumor effect (both P<0.001). Conclusion:177Lu-NOTA-MZHER2 is successfully prepared, which is simple and efficient, and the probe has good anti-tumor effect.
