Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of a dual-network hydrogel-microneedle (MN) on inhibiting oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) recurrence and promoting tissue repair, thereby providing a foundation for the clinical treatment of OSCC. Methods: A Schiff base hydrogelformed between chitosan (CS) and poly(ethylene glycol) dibenzaldehyde (PEG-CHO), combined witha coordination-crosslinked hydrogel formed between sodium alginate (SA) and Cu²+, were jointly integrated to form the CS/PEG-CHO/SA/Cu²+ (CPSC) dual-network hydrogel base. The hydrogel formulation was optimized based on characterization by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, rheology, and swelling tests. Subsequently, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and gold nanorod (GNR) were incorporated into the CPSC hydrogel to fabricate an MN loaded with 5-FU/GNR (FG). The mechanical strength and dissolution behavior of FG MNs were characterized, and their photothermal performance was evaluated under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation using thermal imaging. The mouse fibroblast cell line L929 cells and the human oral mucosal epithelial-derived cell line GMSM-K cells were co-cultured with FG MNs for 2 and 4 days, respectively, and cell viability was assessed by the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and dead/live staining. Separately, the human tongue OSCC cell line Cal-27 cells were divided into four groups: a control group (cultured in complete medium), 5-FU MN group (co-cultured with 5-FU-loaded MNs), GNR MN+ NIR group (co-cultured with GNR-loaded MNs followed by NIR irradiation at 0.4 W/cm2 for 5 min), and FG MN+ NIR group (co-cultured with FG MNs followed by identical NIR irradiation). After 24 and 48 h of co-culture, Cal-27 cell viability was assessed using both CCK-8 assay and dead/live staining. All animal experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Ethics Committee. A subcutaneous Cal-27-derived OSCC postoperative recurrence model was established in BALB/c nude mice. The mice were divided into four groups: a control group, 5-FU MN group, GNR MN+ NIR group, and FG MN+ NIR group. Mice in the control group received no intervention, while the other groups were treated with the corresponding MN patches. Additionally, the GNR MN+ NIR and FG MN+ NIR groups received NIR irradiation (0.4 W/cm2, 5 min). Tumors were excised and their volumes measured on day 7, and tumor recurrence and wound healing were assessed on day 14. Results: A dual-network hydrogel-MN was successfully constructed, demonstrating favorable mechanical and dissolution properties. Upon NIR irradiation for 5 min, the temperature rapidly increased to 48.4°C, reaching the threshold for effective tumor ablation. CCK-8 and dead/live staining results showed that FG MNs exhibited no cytotoxicity toward L929 and GMSM-K cells, indicating good cytocompatibility. However, Cal-27 cell viability in the chemotherapy-photothermal combination group was lower than that in the other three groups, with a statistical difference (P<0.0001). In the nude mouse model, subcutaneous Cal-27 tumors were resected 7 days post-implantation. No statistical difference in tumor volume was observed among groups at this timepoint, confirming successful model establishment. By postoperative day 14, the control group displayed complete tumor recurrence with unhealed wounds, while the 5-FU and GNR MN+ NIR groups showed mild recurrence and partial wound healing. The FG MN+ NIR group demonstrated superior efficacy in both inhibiting tumor recurrence and promoting tissue repair compared with all other groups, with a statistical difference (P<0.0001). Conclusion The dual-network hydrogel-MN system effectively suppresses postoperative recurrence of Cal-27-derived subcutaneous OSCC and promotes tissue repair through chemo-photothermal combined therapy.

Objective: To assess the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding health protection against air pollution among primary school students in China, and to analyze the impacts of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) exposure, family, and individual factors on KAP levels, so as to provide empirical basis for implementing targeted interventions. Methods: Using stratified cluster random sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 19 297 primary school students from third to fifth grade across 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) in China in 2024. The questionnaire was developed based on the Technical Guidelines for the Assessment of Civic Environmental and Health Literacy (Trial), and encompasses three dimensions:knowledge, attitude, and practice. Spearman correlation analysis, Chi-square test, multivariate Logistic regression, and Bootstrap mediation effect test was applied for data analysis. Results: The overall mean KAP score for health protection against air pollution among primary school students was (79.73±13.53), with an adequacy rate of 80.47% ( n =15 528). The dimension scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were (41.34±8.01, 16.43± 2.61 ), and (21.97±5.71), respectively. Knowledge was positively correlated with attitude and practice, and attitude was positively correlated with practice ( r =0.51, 0.35, 0.32, all P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that the northeast region ( OR =2.36, 95% CI =2.02-2.75), having parents with a bachelor s degree or higher ( OR =4.76, 95% CI =2.71-8.37), living with both parents ( OR =1.33, 95% CI =1.15-1.55), being in the fifth grade ( OR =1.22, 95% CI =1.11-1.33), outdoor PM 2.5 level exceeding standard limits at the survey site ( OR =1.25, 95% CI =1.16-1.34), history of allergy ( OR =1.47, 95% CI =1.31-1.64), and wearing masks during heavily polluted weather ( OR =1.19, 95% CI =1.07-1.31) were promoting factors for KAP adequacy rate (all P <0.05). Conversely, obesity was a detrimental factor ( OR =0.78, 95% CI =0.69-0.88, all P <0.05). Conclusions Primary school students in China exhibit a favorable KAP level regarding health protection against air pollution, though regional, familial, and individual disparities persist. Exposure to PM 2.5 levels exceeding standard limits exerts a direct positive effect on enhancing health protection literacy. Future efforts should focus on the western region, families with lower educational attainment children to implement tailored, stratified interventions.

[Objective] To investigate the factors associated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) abnormalities in multi-ethnic blood donors across five Zang autonomous prefectures in the plateau regions of Qinghai Province, and to provide evidence for ensuring blood safety and formulating screening strategies. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on the ALT abnormal test results of blood donors in the Zang autonomous prefectures of Qinghai from 2022 to 2024. The correlations between ALT levels and factors including gender, age, altitude, and infectious markers were investigated. [Results] The overall ALT unqualified rate among blood donors in this region was 9.01%. Significant differences in ALT levels were observed across genders and age groups (P<0.05). Variations in ALT abnormality rates were also noted among different plateau regions (P<0.05). Overall, ALT values exhibited an increasing trend with rising altitude. The average ALT unqualified rates were 11.19% in Zang donors, 7.96% in Han donors, and 4.79% in donors from other ethnic groups (P<0.05). No statistically significant association was observed between ALT abnormality and the presence of HBV/HCV infectious markers (P>0.05). [Conclusion] In the plateau areas of Qinghai, multi-ethnic blood donors have a relatively high ALT levels and ALT unqualified rates, showing distinct regional characteristics. ALT elevation in voluntary blood donors is related to non-pathological factors such as gender, age, and dietary habits, but not to infectious indicators.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major form of dementia in the elderly and is closely related to the toxic effects of microglia sustained activation. In AD, sustained microglial activation triggers impaired synaptic pruning, neuroinflammation, neurotoxicity, and cognitive deficits. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrant expression of deubiquitinating enzymes is associated with regulating microglia function. Here, we use RNA sequencing to identify a deubiquitinase YOD1 as a regulator of microglial function and AD pathology. Further study showed that YOD1 knockout significantly improved the migration, phagocytosis, and inflammatory response of microglia, thereby improving the cognitive impairment of AD model mice. Through LC-MS/MS analysis combined with Co-IP, we found that Myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), a key regulator maintaining microglia homeostasis, is an interacting protein of YOD1. Mechanistically, YOD1 binds to MYH9 and maintains its stability by removing the K48 ubiquitin chain from MYH9, thereby mediating the microglia polarization signaling pathway to mediate microglia homeostasis. Taken together, our study reveals a specific role of microglial YOD1 in mediating microglia homeostasis and AD pathology, which provides a potential strategy for targeting microglia to treat AD.

【Objective】 To investigate asymptomatic infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV) among hepatitis B vaccinated donors in Shenzhen, and analyze its serological and molecular characteristics. 【Methods】 The HBsAg ELISA positive blood samples of blood donors born after 1992 were collected. HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc were further detected by Roche electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECL). BCP/PC and S regions were amplified by Nested-PCRs, HBV DNA quantification were adopted by qPCR simultaneously, and the sequences were also analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 46 632 blood samples of donors(31 612 males and 15 020 females) from December 2020 to January 2022 collected, and 99 samples with HBsAg ELISA positive were screened out. After tested by ECL, Nested-PCRs, and real-time fluorescence PCR, 61 were confirmed HBsAg positive, with the positive rate at 0.13% (61/46 632), including 49 males (0.16%, 49/31 612) and 12 females (0.08%, 12/15 020). The HBsAg positive rate of males was higher than that of females (P<0.05). 50 out of 61 sequences for S region were obtained. By phylogenetic analysis, there were 46 cases of type B (92%, 46/50, 38 males and 8 females), 4 cases of type C (8%, 4/50, 3 males and 1 female). The high frequency mutations observed in S region were N40S (8/46,17.39%), G44E (7/46,15.22%), Q129H/R(6/46,13.04%), Y161F/S(7/46, 15.22%), V179A(4/46,8.70%), S53L(2/4,50%), C69T(2/4,50%) and I126S/T(2/4,50%), including the immune escape mutations Q129R and T/I126A/N/S/T. 【Conclusion】 Hepatitis B vaccination can significantly reduce the positive rate of HBsAg and increase the safety of blood transfusion. The high frequency immune escape mutations have become a potential risk of blood safety, and need to be further explored.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the relationship between two-lung ventilation (TLV) with single-lumen endotracheal tube (SLT), one-lung ventilation (OLV) with double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after total thoracoscopic cardiac surgery. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgeries in the Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital from October 2019 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 group according to the type of endotracheal tube, including a SLT group and a DLT group. Baseline data, surgical variables and PPCs were compared. The influencing factors of PPCs in the two groups were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results Finally 349 patients were enrolled, including 180 males and 169 females with an average age of (50.0±14.8) years. There were 219 patients in the SLT group and 130 patients in the DLT group. There was no statistical difference in baseline data, surgical variables or PPCs between the two groups (P＞0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that PPCs were related to body mass index in the SLT group (OR=0.778, 95%CI 0.637 to 0.951, P=0.014) and preoperative smoking history in the DLT group (OR=0.058, 95%CI 0.004 to 0.903, P=0.042). Conclusion For the patients who undergo totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery, TLV with SLT and OLV with DLT show no significant association with PPCs. At the same time, PPCs are associated with body mass index in the SLT group, while associated with preoperative smoking history in the DLT group.
