In the field of substance detection,ion dissociation techniques have become crucial for enhancing qualitative accuracy.By applying external energy to induce dissociation of ions in the substance being analyzed,the internal structural information can be obtained,thereby improving qualitative capabilities.Current research on ion dissociation techniques primarily focuses on tandem mass spectrometry,which typically requires a vacuum environment.However,research on ambient ion dissociation techniques is less developed,with some progress made in the field of tandem ion mobility spectrometry.Recently,the development of field-induced dissociation(FID)in this area has enabled ambient dissociation of various explosive and volatile alcohol ions.Nevertheless,the limitation imposed by the maximum breakdown field of air restricts the energy of the electric field,making it challenging to dissociate ions with high energy requirements,such as those of drugs.To address this issue,in this work,an ambient heat-induced dissociation(HID)technique based on high temperatures was proposed,in which an ambient ion heat-induced dissociation unit was developed and integrated into a home-made ion trap mass spectrometer.Experiments were conducted on four representative drug samples,e.g.methamphetamine,heroin,cocaine,and ketamine.The parent ions mass spectra,low vacuum collision-induced dissociation(CID)mass spectra and ambient HID mass spectra for each sample were obtained.By analyzing and comparing the fragmentation products from ambient and low vacuum dissociation,the feasibility of the ambient HID technique was verified.This technique provided a method for ion dissociation in single mass analyzers without tandem mass spectrometry capability and offered a new research direction for the future development of tandem ion mobility spectrometry.

Objective:To compare the safety,short-term and long-term efficacy of laparoscopic radical antero-grade modular pancreatic-splenic resection(L-RAMPS)and open radical anterograde modular pancreatic-splenic resec-tion(RAMPS)in the treatment of distal pancreatic cancer,providing clinical evidence for the development of minimally in-vasive surgery for distal pancreatic cancer.Methods:Clinical and follow-up data of patients with distal pancreatic can-cer who underwent surgical treatment at Department of Liver Transplantation and Hepatobiliary Surgery,Shandong Pro-vincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University,between January 2019 and October 2021 were retro-spectively collected.Patients were divided into a L-RAMPS group(n=70)and a RAMPS group(n=36)based on the sur-gical approach.Propensity score matching(PSM)was applied in a 1:1 ratio to compare short-term and long-term out-comes between the two groups.Results:After PSM,L-RAMPS group has the advantage of less estimated blood loss(50 mL vs 180 mL,P=0.002)and a shorter postoperative length of stay(6 d vs 8 d,P<0.001).No statistically significant differences were observed in long-term survival and postoperative complication rates between these two groups(P>0.05).Univariate and multivariate analyses identified preoperative serum CA19-9 levels,peritumoral tissue infiltration,perineural invasion,and lymph node metastasis as independent risk factors for early postoperative tumor recurrence.Conclusion:This study has demonstrated that L-RAMPS for patients with distal pancreatic cancer has the advantage of less estimated blood loss and a shorter postoperative length of stay.The short-term and long-term efficacy of L-RAMPS is comparable to that of RAMPS.L-RAMPS is a safe and effective surgical method for patients with distal pan-creatic cancer.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to evaluate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5) among < 5-year-old children in three provinces of China during 2020-2024 via a propensity score-matched test-negative case-control study. METHODS: Electronic health records and immunization information systems were used to obtain data on acute gastroenteritis (AGE) cases tested for rotavirus (RV) infection. RV-positive cases were propensity score matched with RV-negative controls for age, visit month, and province. RESULTS: The study included 27,472 children with AGE aged 8 weeks to 4 years at the time of AGE diagnosis; 7.98% (2,192) were RV-positive. The VE (95% confidence interval, CI) of 1-2 and 3 doses of RV5 against any medically attended RV infection (inpatient or outpatient) was 57.6% (39.8%, 70.2%) and 67.2% (60.3%, 72.9%), respectively. Among children who received the 3rd dose before turning 5 months of age, 3-dose VE decreased from 70.4% (53.9%, 81.1%) (< 5 months since the 3rd dose) to 63.0% (49.1%, 73.0%) (≥ 1 year since the 3rd dose). The three-dose VE rate was 69.4% (41.3%, 84.0%) for RVGE hospitalization and 57.5% (38.9%, 70.5%) for outpatient-only medically attended RVGE. CONCLUSION Three-dose RV5 VE against rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) in children aged < 5 years was higher than 1-2-dose VE. Three-dose VE decreased with time since the 3rd dose in children who received the 3rd dose before turning five months of age, but remained above 60% for at least one year. VE was higher for RVGE hospitalizations than for medically attended outpatient visits.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of 3D-printed interbody fusion cage applied in anterior cervical decompression and bone graft fusion for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Methods A total of 100 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent anterior cervical fusion surgery in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects,they were randomly divided into the 3D group and the control group according to the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.Patients in the 3D group were implanted with a 3D-printed interbody fusion cage which was made of microporous metal materials,while patients in the control group were implanted with intervertebral fusion cage which was made of polyetheretherketone material.The surgery-related indicators,cervical imaging parameters,cervical spinal cord function,cervical axial function and surgical complications of patients between the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss or length of hospital stay of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The height of the cervical fusion segments and the Cobb angle of the fusion segments of patients in both groups at each time point after the operation were significantly increased compared with those before the operation(P<0.05).The height of the cervical fusion segments and the Cobb angle of the fusion segments of patients 1 month,3 months,and 6 months after the operation in the 3D group were all greater than those in the control group(P>0.05).The subjective symptom score and the total score of the Japanese orthopaedic association(JOA)of patients 6 months after the operation in the 3D group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The cervical axial function of patients 6 months after the operation in the 3D group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of surgical complications in the 3D group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The use of 3D-printed interbody fusion cage during the anterior cervical decompression and bone graft fusion for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients,achieve better cervical axial function,and have fewer complications.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of ionizing radiation on the adipogenic of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods:Mouse MSCs were cultured in vitro and treated with 2 Gy and 6 Gy radiation with 60Co,and the radiation dose rate was 0.98 Gy/min.Bulk RNA-seq was performed on control and irradiated MSCs.The changes of adipogenic differentiation and oxidative stress pathways of MSC were revealed by bioinformatics analysis.Oil Red O staining was used to detect the adipogenic differentiation ability of MSCs in vitro,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to detect the expression differences of key regulatory factors Cebpa,Lpl and Pparg after radiation treatment.At the same time,qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the effect of inhibition of Nrf2,a key factor of antioxidant stress pathway,on the expression of key regulatory factors of adipogenesis.Moreover,the species conservation of the irradiation response of human bone marrow MSCs and mouse MSC was determined by qPCR.Results:Bulk RNA-seq suggested that ionizing radiation promotes adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and up-regulation of oxidative stress-related genes and pathways.The results of Oil Red O staining and qPCR showed that ionizing radiation promoted the adipogenesis of MSCs,with high expression of Cebpa,Lpl and Pparg,as well as oxidative stress-related gene Nrf2.Nrf2 pathway inhibitors could further enhance the adipogenesis of MSCs in bone marrow after radiation.Notably,the similar regulation of oxidative pathways and enhanced adipogenesis post irradiation were observed in human bone marrow MSCs.In addition,irradiation exposure led to up-regulated mRNA expression of interleukin-6 and down-regulated mRNA expression of colony stimulating factor 2 in human bone marrow MSCs.Conclusion:Ionizing radiation promotes adipogenesis of MSCs in mice,and oxidative stress pathway participates in this effect,blocking Nrf2 further promotes the adipogenesis of MSCs.Additionally,irradiation activates oxidative pathways and promotes adipogenic differentiation of human bone marrow MSCs.

Objective:To investigate the effect of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF)and cervical spine stability in patients with two-segment cervical spondylosis.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients with two-level cervical spondylotic myelopathy in Anqing Municipal Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into group A(30 cases)and group B(30 cases)according to the communication results between doctors and patients.The control group was given anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion(ACCF),and the observation group was given ACDF.The clinical effects(cervical brace protection time,hospital stay,operation time and intraoperative blood loss),postoperative pain degree[visual analogue score(VAS)],neurological function[Japanese Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons(JOA)],cervical spine function[cervical spine dysfunction index(NDI)],cervical spine stability(C3-6 segment Cobb angle,intervertebral height and cervical spine curvature)and complication rate were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in cervical brace protection time,hospital stay and operation time between the two groups(P>0.05).The VAS score in ACDF group was lower than that in ACCF group at 1,3 and 6 months after operation(t=4.312,3.864 and 9.338,P<0.05).The JOA score was higher than that of ACCF group(t=6.482,6.366,5.059,P<0.05).The NDI score was lower than that of ACCF group(t=4.922,6.178,8.859,P<0.05).Six months after operation,the Cobb angle,intervertebral height and cervical curvature of cervical vertebra 3-6(C3-6)in ACDF group were higher than those in ACCF group.The difference was statistically significant(t=5.011,2.171 and 3.386,P<0.05).The incidence of complications between the two groups was not different(P>0.05).Conclusion:ACDF for two-segment cervical spondylosis can effectively improve cervical spine function and nerve function,reduce postoperative pain,and reduce intraoperative blood loss,which is safe and effective.

This study investigated the potential pathogenicity and genetic characteristics of ST314 Salmonella Kentucky(S.Ken-tucky)isolates from a broiler slaughterhouse.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing(WGS)were used to determine antimicrobial resistance,virulence factors,and the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes(ARGs)and mobile genetic elements(MGEs)among the isolates.The three multidrug resistant(MDR)isolates exhibited high resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents.The F4-2S strain exhibited resistance to 14 drugs across seven categories,whereas the F4T strain showed resistance to 13 drugs in the same number of categories.In contrast,the Y23 strain was resistant to nine drugs in six categories.Notably,F4-2S dem-onstrated high homology with F4T:both possessed 13 ARGs distributed across nine categories,in addition to a wide range of virulence factors,including secretion systems and effector proteins.The presence of IncR and IncX1 plasmids significantly enhanced both the antimicrobial resistance and pathogenicity of the isolates.The genome map of Y23 revealed a chromosome alongside two plasmids.The chromosome containedonly one resistance gene but several virulence factors,including the type III secretion system(T3SS),which is crucial for bacterial invasion.The plasmid pY23-1 contained eight types of 19 ARGs.Comparative analysis indicated that pY23-1 ex-hibited high homology with pZ1323SSL0055 and pSAL-045,all of which contained multiple ARGs,thus suggesting critical roles of these genes in the evolution of bacterial resistance.In conclusion,ST314 S.Kentucky demonstrated a complex mechanism of resis-tance coupled with significant pathogenic potential.The ARGs and MGEs in the plasmid contributed to the emergence and dissemina-tion of antimicrobial resistance.The multiple virulence factors present in the chromosome may be key factors driving the increasing virulence of ST314 S.Kentucky.
