To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of Enterococci isolated from 596 anal swabs,feces and environmental samples were collected from pig,cattle,chicken and quail farms in Chang-sha,Hunan Province,Enterococci were isolated and identified by mass spectrometry.The minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs)of 10 antimicrobial agents were determined by AGAR diffusion method.Whole genome sequencing(WGS)was used to detect the distribution of multilocus se-quence typing(ST),drug resistance genes and virulence genes.A total of 272 strains of Enterococ-cus were isolated(45.6%).The isolates were resistant to cefoxitin(68.9%)and cefotiofur(58.5%),followed by trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole(52.2%),vancomycin(4.4%),and linezolid(13.6%).In this study,six linezolid highly resistant Enterococci isolates were analyzed by whole genome sequencing to explore the transmission mechanism of linezolid resistance because linezolid is forbidden to be used in aquaculture.ST403(4/6),ST16(1/6)and ST476(1/6)were the most common ST types,which all originated from the same farm.Three oxazolidinone resistance genes(cfr,poxtA and optrA)were found in all 21 strains.One strain(Ecc60)carried all three oxazo-lidinone resistance genes,but none of them were located on the plasmid.tet(M),aph(3')-Ⅲ,and lsa(A)were found in all six Enterococcus isolates.Interestingly,the present study is the first to i-dentify enterococci carrying the optrA gene in quail fecal samples.The analysis of the genetic envi-ronment of oxazolidinone resistance genes showed that the genetic environment of cfr(D),poxtA and optrA of isolates from the same farm was similar.A total of 19 virulence genes were detected in 6 isolates,of which 12 genes(ElrA,SrtA,ace,agg,cCF10,cOB1,cad,camE,ebpA,ebpC,efaAfs,tpx)were carried by all 6 isolates,and the types of virulence genes in strains from the same farm were extremely similar.The results showed that the drug resistance of Enterococci iso-lated from the fish farms in Changsha was serious,and the resistance rate to linezolid,which was prohibited in the fish farms,was high.The oxazolidinone resistance gene loci were accompanied by other resistance genes,especially the florfenicol resistance gene(FexA),which may be related to the abuse of florfenicol in the fish farms.

BACKGROUND:Currently,the crosslinking process of gels can be characterized by the degree of crosslinking measured by nuclear magnetic resonance and other methods,or by the change of viscoelastic behavior monitored by the rheometer during the crosslinking solidification process.However,these methods are complicated to operate and will destroy the sample,so it is urgent to establish a simple method to monitor the crosslinking reaction process without special sample preparation and without sample damage.OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for characterizing the crosslinking reaction process of sodium hyaluronate.METHODS:1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether was used as the cross-linking agent,and four factors were selected to prepare sodium hyaluronate gels,including different cross-linking degrees(1%,2%,3%,and 4%),different molecular weights of sodium hyaluronate(400,700,1 500,and 3 000 kD),different concentrations of sodium hydroxide solution(1%,2%,and 3%),and different reaction temperatures(4,25,37,and 50 ℃).The compression stress of the crosslinked gel was measured by an electronic universal tensile testing machine when the cross-linked gel was pressed down and deformed for 1 mm.The influence of crosslinking parameters on the reaction process and adequacy sufficiency of the crosslinking reaction were characterized according to the compressive stress.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the extension of reaction time,the hardness of gel increased,and the compressive stress gradually increased.After reaching a certain value,the cross-linked macromolecular structure of sodium hyaluronate degraded under the action of strong alkali,and the gel hardness reduced while the compressive stress decreased.Therefore,the hardness of the gel could be characterized according to the compressive stress.The process of crosslinking reaction was characterized by the curve drawn by compressive stress and crosslinking time.According to compressive stress,the crosslinking reaction temperatures had significantly influenced the crosslinking reaction time and the gel hardness,whereas other factors such as crosslinking degree,alkali concentration,and molecular weight had negligible effects on the reaction time but exerted a substantial impact on the gel hardness.(2)According to CORREL,with the change of crosslinking time,the change trend of compressive stress was consistent with that of elastic modulus and dynamic viscosity,which could be used to characterize the crosslinking process of sodium hyaluronate gel.(3)Based on the compression force of cross-linked gel,not only the process of crosslinking reaction can be characterized,but also the gel hardness can be preliminarily determined.This method can be used for real-time and in-situ detection and has the advantages of simple operation and no damage to the sample,providing a solution and new ideas for monitoring the crosslinking reaction process of sodium hyaluronate or other substances.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, histopathological morphology, and differential diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers.Methods:From 2020 to 2021, 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers diagnosed in Fujian Cancer Hospital (2 cases) and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (2 cases) were collected. Different ancillary procedures such as HE, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization techniques were used to assess the histopathological features and immunophenotypes. The clinical data were collected and literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers were male. They were 32, 45, 67 and 39 years old, respectively. The main clinical manifestations were bloody phlegm, abdominal pain, fatigue and anorexia. The clinical stages at diagnosis were stage Ⅳ (3 cases) and stage Ⅱ (1 case). Cases 2 and 3 had two pathological examinations at different sites, with a total of six pathological examinations. The histomorphology showed singly scattered or nests of tumor cells in a background of abundant small lymphocytes. The tumor cells were enlarged and pleomorphic, some appeared polygonal with inconspicuous cell borders, and they were arranged in a syncytial pattern. There were megakaryocytes, multinucleated tumor cells, and a few spindle-shaped cells seen. Atypical mitosis was commonly noted. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for CKpan(5/6), CK8/18(4/4), CAM5.2(2/5), CK-H(0/4), CK-L(3/4), EMA(4/5), CK5/6(3/6), p63(1/6), p40(1/6), E-cadherin (4/6), SSTR2(6/6), PD-L1(5/5), LCA(0/6), vimentin(5/6), CD2 (6/6), CD23(6/6), CD35(5/6), CXCL-13(4/5) and D2-40(1/5). The Ki-67 proliferative index was 60%-95%. In situ hybridization for EBER were all positive (6/6). Special stain for reticulin showed positive staining surrounding nests of tumor cells.Conclusions:The expression of follicular dendritic cell markers in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is very rare, which may be related to EBV infection. Occasionally, it can overlap with follicular dendritic cell sarcoma by morphology and immunophenotype, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Only by combining clinical information, morphological characteristics and immunophenotype can an appropriate diagnosis be made.
