ObjectiveTo explore the preparation method and performance characteristics of a new double-network hydrogel based on carboxymethyl chitosan （CMCS）/silk fibroin （SF）/copper-doped bioactive glass （CuBG）. MethodsPolyethylene glycol diphenyldehyde （PEGDE） was used as a cross-linking agent to cross-link CMCS， which was then blended with enzymatically cross-linked SF and CuBG nanoparticles to prepare a double-network hydrogel. The optimal ratio of CMCS/SF/CuBG double-network hydrogels was determined by gelation time and rheological analysis. The injectability of each group of gel was evaluated through injectability testing and rheological viscosity analysis. The swelling properties of the hydrogels were measured using the gravimetric method. The cytocompatibility of the hydrogels was evaluated using cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay and live/dead cell staining. ResultsThe gelation time of the CMCS single-network hydrogel exceeded 4 minutes， and its mechanical strength was poor. With the addition of SF and CuBG， the gelation time of the hydrogel was shortened， the mechanical strength was enhanced， and the swelling index decreased. Hydrogel injection could form clear and continuous patterns. The CCK-8 and cell live/dead staining results showed that the survival rate of HUVECs cultured in leaching solution of each group of hydrogels was greater than 90%， with complete cell morphology and good proliferation status. ConclusionThe CMCS/SF/CuBG double-network hydrogel exhibits a suitable gelation time， stable mechanical properties， excellent swelling rate， and exhibits no cytotoxicity. These findings indicate that the hydrogel has considerable potential for biomedical applications.

This study aims to establish an indirect ELISA method for detecting RVFV antibodies u-sing recombinant proteins of Rift Valley fever virus(RVFV)Gn protein Ⅱ-Ⅲ structural domains as the encapsulated antigen which was expressed by the Escherichia coli(E.coli)expression sys-tem.The gene sequences encoding the Ⅱ and Ⅲ subdomains of RVFV Gn protein were inserted in-to pET-30a(+)to construct the recombinant plasmid pET-RVFV Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ.After transforma-tion of the recombinant plasmid into DE3(BL21)competent cells,the recombinant Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ protein was induced with IPTG and purified using affinity chromatography.An indirect ELISA method for the detection of RVFV antibodies was developed using purified recombinant protein as coating antigen and SPA-HRP as the enzyme-labelled secondary antibody.Western blot analysis confirmed that the RVFV Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ protein was successfully expressed.The optimal expression conditions for RVFV Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ protein were induced with 0.8 mmol/L IPTG at 37 ℃ for 5 h.The Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ protein was purified using affinity chromatography with a purity of 91.9％,and the purified protein was used as the encapsulated antigen to develop an ELISA assay for RVFV anti-bodies.The specificity evaluation showed that the method specifically detected RVFV-positive sera and did not cross-react with sera positive for West Nile virus(WNV),Ebola virus(EBOV),Mar-burg virus(MARV)and tick-borne encephalitis virus(TBEV).When the RVFV Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ posi-tive serum was diluted to 6 400 times,the test result still showed positive results,demonstrating the method had good sensitivity.The repeatability evaluation results indicated that the variation co-efficients for both intra-and inter-batch responses was less than 10％,indicating that the method had good repeatability.In conclusion,the RVFV Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ protein was successfully expressed u-sing the E.coli expression system.The purified recombinant Gn-D Ⅱ-Ⅲ protein was used as the encapsulated antigen to develop an indirect ELISA assay for RVFV antibodies,which provides a preliminary basis for the diagnosis of RVF and the research and development of RVF vaccines.

ObjectiveThis research focused on examining the distinctive characteristics of nutrient intake and dietary patterns among long-lived elderly individuals. Additionally， the study was aimed to explore the specific dietary components that may impact the skeletal muscle mass in this particular group. MethodsThis study was conducted in the Chongming area of Shanghai， China. A total of 206 long-lived elderly individuals aged 90 or above were recruited. The 3-day 24-hour dietary recall method was used to collect dietary information and general demographic data through face-to-face interviews with professional nutritionists. The skeletal muscle mass index（SMI） was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis（BIA）， and low skeletal muscle mass was diagnosed based on the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria. T-test analysis， chi-square test， and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between dietary nutrient intake and skeletal muscle mass. ResultsIn terms of food intake categories， compared with the long-lived elderly people with normal muscle mass， the intake of cereals containing miscellaneous beans and vegetables in the long-lived elderly people with low muscle mass was significantly lower（P<0.05）. In terms of the nutrient intake， compared with the long-lived elderly people with normal muscle mass， the intake of total energy， carbohydrate， dietary fiber， vitamin D， folic acid， phosphorus， potassium， magnesium， iron， and manganese in the long-lived elderly people with low muscle mass was significantly lower（P<0.05）. After continuous adjustment for the covariates， multivariate logistic regression analysis found that the intake levels of folic acid and dietary fiber were important factors influencing skeletal muscle mass， Individuals with lower intake levels of folic acid and dietary fiber are at a higher risk of low muscle mass in long-lived elderly individuals ［OR_{folic acid T1}， _{dietary fiber T1} （95%CI）： 2.90 （1.11‒7.61）； 4.09 （1.53‒10.91）］. ConclusionThe consumption of cereals that include a variety of beans and vegetables was noticeably lower in the long-lived elderly individuals with lower muscle mass when compared to those with normal muscle mass. Furthermore， low levels of folic acid and dietary fiber intake are associated with an increased risk of low skeletal muscle mass.

The PCR-amplified severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus(SFTSV)Gn-DⅢ-Ⅲ gene was inserted into the pET-30a(+)prokaryotic expression vector to generate the re-combinant plasmid pET-SFTSV-Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ.The plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)for Gn-DⅢ-m protein expression and the expression conditions were optimized.The Gn-DⅢ-Ⅲ protein purified with Ni-NTA column affinity chromatography was applied as the captured antigen to establish an indirect ELISA method for the detection of SFTSV antibody.The results demonstrated that the recombinant plasmid pET-SFTSV-Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ was successfully constructed as identified by PCR and sequencing.The recombinant protein SFTSV Gn-D m-Ⅲ was soluble ex-pression in E.coli under the optimal induction conditions of 0.4 mmol/L IPTG at 25 ℃ for 4 h,and the protein purity was 91.77％after purification by Ni-NTA column.The optimal reaction con-ditions for the indirect ELISA of SFTSV antibody were as follows:coating antigen concentration(5 μg/mL),primary antibody(incubation at 37 ℃ for 1.5 h),and secondary antibody(diluted 1:10 000 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 1 h).The established method had no cross-reactivity with Rift Valley fever virus(RVFV),Ebola virus(EBOV),and tick-borne encephalitis virus(TBEV)posi-tive sera.The method had a high sensitivity,with P/N＞2.1 for SFTSV-positive sera diluted to 81920.Coefficients of variation for intra-and inter-batch reactions were less than 10％.Detection of four SFTSV-infected human clinical serum samples showed the serum samples from patients in re-mission were tested as positive(P/N＞2.1),while serum samples from patients with multiple or-gan failure were detected as negative(P/N＜2.1).The results indicated that the SFTSV Gn-D Ⅲ-Ⅲ protein was successfully expressed and purified,and it was used as the coating protein to estab-lish an indirect ELISA assay for SFTSV antibody,which possesses good specificity,sensitivity and reproducibility.This method might be applied to detect human SFTSV clinical serum samples.

Objectives:To investigate the association between normal-weight central obesity with new-onset cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality risk. Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted,selecting a total of 93885 participants from the Kailuan Study who had their first physical examination in 2006-2007.According to waist circumference (central obesity:male waist circumference ≥90 cm,female waist circumference ≥85 cm;no central obesity:male waist circumference<90 cm,female waist circumference<85 cm) and body mass index (BMI,normal weight:18.5 kg/m2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m2;overweight/obesity:BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2),the participants were divided into 4 groups:normal weight no central obesity group (G1 group),normal weight central obesity group (G2 group),overweight/obesity no central obesity group (G3 group) and overweight/central obesity group (G4 group);Using the Kaplan-Meier method,the cumulative incidence of new-onset cardiovascular diseases (including hemorrhagic stroke,ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction) and all-cause mortality in different groups was calculated,and the Log-rank test was used for intergroup comparisons.Furthermore,the associations between the different groups and the risk of new-onset cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality were analyzed using the multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results:After a median follow-up of 14.97 (14.55,15.17) years,the cumulative incidence of new-onset cardiovascular diseases in G1 group,G2 group,G3 group and G4 group was 7.62％,10.84％,8.67％,12.91％ respectively (log-rank P<0.05) and the cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was 12.83％,19.72％,10.65％,16.33％ respectively (log-rank P<0.01).After adjusting for confounding factors,Cox regression analysis showed that the HR (95％CI) of new-onset cardiovascular diseases in G2 group,G3 group and G4 group were 1.14 (1.04-1.25),1.07 (1.01-1.14),1.27 (1.21-1.34),respectively compared with G1 group (all P<0.05).The HR (95％CI) of all-cause mortality were 1.06 (1.00-1.14),0.90 (0.85-0.95),0.97 (0.93-1.01) compared with G1 group,and P values were 0.07,<0.01,0.15,respectively.The results of sensitivity analysis were consistent with the above major studies after excluding overweight/obesity and cancer participants during follow-up. Conclusions:Normal-weight central obesity increases the risk of new-onset cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality.

Objective To explore the relationship between dietary fiber intake and hypertension in different populations.Methods Dietary fiber intake was calculated using the data from 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES)database by combining dietary data collected by the 24-hour dietary recall method with the USDA Food and Nutritional Database.Hypertension was defined based on blood pressure values obtained through questionnaires and mobile center measurements.Logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between dietary fiber intake and hypertension in individuals aged≥18 years.Generalized additive model(GAM)and smoothed curve fitting were used to analyze the dose-response relationship between them.Results Compared with the low dietary fiber intake(＜17.75 g/d)group,in the total population,the prevalence risk of hypertension was 18% lower in the high dietary fiber intake(≥18.85 g/d)group(OR=0.82,95% CI 0.68-0.98).In the male population,the risk of hypertension in the high dietary fiber intake group decreased by 23% (OR=0.77,95% CI 0.60-0.98).In the female population,when dietary fiber intake was＞28.05 g/d,the risk of hypertension decreased by 6% (OR=0.94,95% CI 0.89-0.99)for 1 g/d increase in dietary fiber intake.In the population aged＞60 years,the risk of hypertension decreased by 31% in the high dietary fiber intake group(OR=0.69,95% CI 0.48-0.99).In the population aged≤45 years,the risk of hypertension decreased by 6% (OR=0.94,95% CI 0.88-0.99)for 1 g/d increase when dietary fiber intake＞34.5 g/d.Conclusions High dietary fiber intake is associated with a decreased risk of developing hypertension,and a reasonable increase in dietary fiber intake can help reduce the incidence of hypertension.
