Objective: To analyze the implementation status and challenges of sex education in special education schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective promotion strategies. Methods: From November 2023 to January 2024, a census survey was conducted among 120 in service teachers from 7 special education schools in Luzhou. The questionnaire covered the current status of sex education in schools, teachers attitudes and knowledge toward sex education, and their coping methods for students inappropriate sexual behaviors. Results: About 77.5% of teachers reported having provided sex education to students, but 93.2% indicated a lack of specialized sex education textbooks for special children, 90.4% reported no full time teachers for sex education, and the methods of sex education were relatively limited (50.0% mainly based on lecture method). Nearly 95.8% of teachers held a positive attitude toward sex education, with 98.3% supporting its implementation. Only 26.7% of teachers demonstrated a good grasp of sex education knowledge, with the best understood topic being "recognition and protection of private parts" (21.6%). When dealing with students inappropriate sexual behaviors, the active response rate of teachers was 23.9%, with the highest active response rate observed for "intentionally hugging or kissing the opposite sex" (39.7%). Conclusions The special education schools in Luzhou lack comprehensive sex education curricula, teaching materials and full time teachers, sufficient knowledge among teachers, and adequate proactive responses to students inappropriate sexual behaviors. Greater emphasis should be placed on sex education for special children, including the training of dedicated teachers, to provide comprehensive and high quality sex education services for special children.

Objective:To obtain a polyvalent single-chain variable fragment（scFv）against West Nile virus through PEGylation in order to improve its antigen-binding ability and neutralizing activity.Methods:A scFv carrying a C-terminal cysteine residue（scFvC）was constructed by introducing Cys into the C-terminal of scFv against West Nile virus. Then the multimerization of scFvC was achieved by targeting the thiol group of Cys with maleimide-activated polyethylene glycol. ELISA was used to detect the antigen-binding activity of the multivalent scFvC. Pseudovirus-based neutralization assay was used to evaluate the neutralizing activity of the multivalent scFvC in vitro. One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. Results:The PEGylated scFvC multimers showed higher antigen-binding ability than the monomeric scFvC. In the pseudovirus-based neutralization assay，both monomeric scFvC and PEGylated scFvC multimers showed good neutralizing activity compared with the control group（ P<0.000 1）. Moreover，the PEGylated scFvC multimers showed a more effective ability to block the pseudovirus infection in target cells（ P<0.05），suggesting that the PEGylated scFvC multimers could enhance their function in vitro through avidity effect. Conclusion:In this study，a scFvC targeting West Nile virus is successfully constructed and its polyvalent form is generated through PEGylation，which improves the antigen-binding and neutralizing activity of the parental scFv.

Objective:To evaluate the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in the diagnosis of liver metastases with rich blood supply.Methods:The clinical data and imaging data of 19 patients with liver metastases with rich blood supply admitted to the 921st Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People′s Liberation Army from September 2018 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and the number, location, shape, size of the lesions and the images of CT plain scan and dynamic enhanced scan were analyzed.Results:Among the 19 patients, there were 18 multiple cases and 1 single case. A total of 108 lesions were found. There were 62 cases (57.4%) in the right lobe of liver and 87 cases (80.6%) in the peripheral part of liver. The form of circular or quasi-circular, there were 99, irregular shape or lobed 9. The focal diameter was 0.6-6.8 cm. CT plain scan showed that 99 lesions showed slightly low density, and the other 9 lesions showed equal density relative to the background liver. In the dynamic enhanced scan, 108 lesions in arterial stage showed high-density enhancement, 97 lesions showed circular enhancement, and 11 lesions showed nodular enhancement. Among them, 77 lesions had moderate to obvious intensification density. Of the 108 lesions in the portal vein stage, 31 lesions showed moderate to obvious enhancement density, 49 lesions showed slightly low clearance density, and 28 lesions showed continuous enhancement density. In the delayed stage, all 108 lesions showed slightly low density.Conclusions:The main features of liver metastases with rich blood supply are: low density on plain CT scan, annular or nodular enhancement in the arterial phase of enhanced CT scan, and the peak of enhanced density can be in the arterial phase or the portal vein phase. Combined with clinical data, CT can make a correct diagnosis.

By reviewing ancient materia medica， prescription and medical books， combined with modern literature， the paper made textual research on the name， origin， producing area， quality evaluation， harvesting and processing methods of Angelicae Pubescentis Radix and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix， so as to provide a basis for the selection and use of these two herbs in the development of famous classical formulas. Through textual research， it can be found that Angelicae Pubescentis Radix and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix were mixed together in the early history of China， but the distinction was first made during the Southern and Northern dynasties， and since then there have been constant controversies， and it is not until contemporary times that they are distinguished clearly. In the past dynasties， Duhuo and Qianghuo were used as the rectification of names， some aliases and trade names were also seen. Angelica biserrata is the mainstream origin of Angelicae Pubescentis Radix in the past dynasties， and there are many plants belonging to Angelica， Heracleum and Aralia， which are also used as this medicine. However， the origin of Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix used in the past dynasties is mostly Notopterygium incisum or N. franchetii， which is relatively uniform. The producing areas of Angelicae Pubescentis Radix and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix are mostly concentrated in the western and northwestern regions of China， among which Angelicae Pubescentis Radix is mainly produced in Hubei， Chongqing， Sichuan， Shaanxi and other places， and the border area between Hubei and Chongqing is the geo-authentic area. Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix is mainly produced in Sichuan， Gansu， Qinghai， Shaanxi and others with the western and northern Sichuan and southern Gansu as the geo-authentic areas. Angelicae Pubescentis Radix and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix in the past dynasties were harvested in spring and autumn， especially in February and August of the lunar calendar. Angelicae Pubescentis Radix with strong main roots， few branches， firm texture and strong aroma is superior， and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix with strong rhizomes， tightly raised knots， purple-brown skin， tight cross-section， strong aroma and silkworm-like shape is superior. The processing methods of Angelicae Pubescentis Radix and Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix are mostly cut after cutting the reeds， and the raw product is used as medicine. Based on the above research results， it is recommended that the roots of A. biserrata should be used for Angelicae Pubescentis Radix and the roots of N. incisum should be used for Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix in the development of famous classical formulas， and raw products should be used in the formulas that do not specify processing requirements.

Objective To provide a reliable and stable animal model for investigating the molecular pathogenesis of radiation-induced liver disease (RILD). Methods Ninety C57BL/6J mice were divided into control, 20 Gy, 25 Gy, 30 Gy and 35 Gy radiation groups. The mice were executed at 4 weeks after radiation and the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase in the liver serum were measured. HE staining was performed on the pathological liver tissues. Masson staining was performed at 36 weeks after radiation. Results Compared with the control group, the fatality rate was higher in the 30 and 35 Gy radiation groups, and the body weight significantly decreased in the 20 and 25 Gy radiation groups. Compared with the control group, alanine aminotransferase significantly increased in mice exposed to 20 Gy, while aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase increased in mice exposed to 25 Gy. No significant changes were observed in the livers of the mice in the 20 and 25 Gy radiation groups, but pathological examination showed liver damage induced by both 20 and 25 Gy radiation. Conclusion A stable and reliable mouse model of RILD was constructed for treatment with linear accelerator. The mouse model of RILD constructed for stereotactic body radiation therapy using linear accelerator has significant research implications for the exploration of RILD.

AIM: To examine the effects of three commonly used general anesthetics on the proliferation and activation of glial cells in neonatal rats. METHODS: Neonatal rats were exposed to either isoflurane, sevoflurane or desflurane for 2 h on postnatal day 2 (P2). The animals were euthanatihed and the brain were harvested on P7 and P14, respectively. The immunohistochemical localihation of glial markers (vimentin, GFAP, Iba1) were examined. RESULTS: Activation of astrocyte in granular layer and molecular layer of dentate gyrus of hippocampus was significantly enhanced on P7 and P14 after desflurane exposure, while that in isoflurane group the change was only significantly different on P14. The activation of microglia in the granular layer of dentate gyrus but not in the pyramidal cell layer of CA1 region was significantly enhanced in the desflurane group on P7 and P14, while the isoflurane group only showed significant difference on P14. CONCLUSION: Short time exposure of different inhalation anesthetics has different effects on the activation of glial cells in different subregions of hippocampus in neonatal rats on postnatal day 2, and sevoflurane may have the least effect on it.

Objective To investigate the effect of tail vein transplantation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) with different transforming growth factor (TGF)-β expressions on recovery of sciatic nerve function in peripheral nerve xenotransplantation mice.Methods The hAMSCs were isolated from amnion membranes by healthy mother donors and identified by fluorescence activated cell sorter.The up-regulated and down-regulated TGF-β lentiviral plasmids were constructed and transfected into the purified hAMSCs;hAMSCs with stable up-regulated or down-regulated TGF-β expression were constructed.The sciatic nerves of C57BL/6 mice were isolated and cut out,and sciatic nerves of SD rats were isolated and transplanted into the sciatic nerve defected C57BL/6 mice to construct peripheral nerve xeno-transplanted mice models;these mice models were divided into 4 groups (n=10)according to random number table:control group,hAMSCs treatment group,high-expressed TGF-βhAMSCs treatment group,and low-expressed TGF-β hAMSCs treatment group;one d before modeling,phosphate buffer saline (PBS) or hAMSCs re-suspension were drawn with a syringe and slowly pushed into the tail veins of mice for transplantation treatment;14 d after treatment,DigGait analysis system was used to evaluate the recovery of sciatic nerve function in each group of mice.Result Fourteen d after treatment,the sciatic nerve function index (SFI) of the high-expressed TGF-β hAMSCs treatment group (-25.820±0.286) was significantly higher than that of the low-expressed TGF-β hAMSCs treatment group (-33.413±0.920) and hAMSCs treatment group (-30.755±0.421,P＜0.05).Conclusion The tail vein transplantation of hAMSCs with TGF-β high expression can effectively improve the sciatic nerve function in peripheral nerve xenotransplantation mice,which may be a new breakthrough in the treatment of peripheral nerve defects.
