Objective Currently, there is no commercially available quantitative detection kit for the main Felis domestic allergen (Fel d 1) in China. To establish a rapid detection method for Fel d 1, this study aims to prepare monoclonal antibodies against Fel d 1 protein. Methods The codon preference of Escherichia coli was utilized to optimize and synthesize the Fel d 1 gene. The prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-28a-Fel d 1 was constructed and used to express and purify the recombinant Fel d 1 protein. Subsequently, the recombinant protein was immunized into BALB/c mice and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were prepared by the hybridoma technique. An indirect ELISA was established using the recombinant Fel d 1 as the coating antigen, and hybridoma cell lines were screened for positive clones. The specificity and antigenic epitopes of the mAbs were confirmed by Western blot analysis. Finally, the selected hybridoma cells were injected into the peritoneal cavities of BALB/c mice for large-scale monoclonal antibody production. Results The recombinant plasmid pET-28a-Fel d 1 was successfully constructed, and soluble Fel d 1 protein was obtained after optimizing the expression conditions. Western blot and antibody titer assays confirmed the successful isolation of two hybridoma cell lines, 7D11 and 5H4, which stably secreted mAbs specific to Fel d 1. Antibody characterization revealed that the 5H4 mAb was of the IgG2a subtype and could recognize the amino acid region 105-163 of Fel d 1, while the 7D11 mAb was the IgG1 subtype and could recognize the amino acid region 1-59. Conclusion The high-purity recombinant Fel d 1 protein produced in this study provides a promising alternative for clinical immunotherapy of cat allergies. Furthermore, the monoclonal antibody prepared in this experiment lays a material foundation for the in-depth study of the biological function of Fel d 1 and the development of ELISA detection.

Background With the increasing aging population in China, there is a significant shortage of labor force. Delaying retirement age has become a potential method to alleviate this labor shortage. Objective To estimate the healthy working life expectancy (HWLE) of individuals aged 50 years old in China. Methods This study was based on data from four waves (2011—2018) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). HWLE was estimated for the overall sample of individuals aged 50 years old and above and stratified by sex, educational attainment, marital status, occupation, Hukou type, and region by using continuous-time multistate modelling. Results A total of 50991 person-times aged ≥ 50 years and older were included in the study. The average total life expectancy of the Chinese population aged 50 years old was 29.72 years (95%CI: 29.28, 30.12 years), with a HWLE of 14.05 years (95%CI: 13.76, 14.33 years). The remaining years lived in the states of healthy but not working, not healthy but working, and not healthy and not working were 8.82 years (95%CI: 8.53, 9.15 years), 2.54 years (95%CI: 2.41, 2.68 years),and 4.30 years (95%CI: 4.08, 4.54 years), respectively. The HWLE (95%CI) of individuals in the baseline states of healthy and working, healthy but not working, not healthy but working, and not healthy and not working were 14.97 (14.69, 15.23), 10.86 (10.52, 11.22), 11.73 (11.31, 12.09), and 9.51 (9.09, 9.97) years, respectively. Additionally, women had a higher total life expectancy (95%CI) than men [31.84 (31.10, 32.54) years vs 27.98 (27.35, 28.50) years], but a lower HWLE than men [12.47 (12.12, 12.82) years vs 15.62 (15.23, 15.98) years]. There was no difference in total life expectancy between rural residents and urban residents [29.43 (28.88, 29.97) years vs 30.31 (29.47, 31.02) years], but rural residents had a higher HWLE than urban residents [15.74 (15.39, 16.10) years vs 11.38 (10.97, 11.73) years]. Residents in East China [14.66 (14.22, 15.06) years] and Central China [14.15 (13.86, 14.43) years] had a higher HWLE than residents in West China [13.61 (13.27, 13.98) years] and Northeast China [13.06 (12.51, 13.63) years]. Conclusion The HWLE of Chinese residents supports the policy of raising the retirement age. There are differences in HWLE levels between urban and rural areas, as well as across different regions. Providing more flexible employment opportunities for older adults can help mitigate the labor shortages caused by population aging.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of home exercise on pain, function and quality of life after operation for rotator cuff injury. MethodsFrom June, 2023 to June, 2024, 45 patients after operation for rotator cuff injury were selected from Xuzhou Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University and Xuzhou Central Hospital, and randomly divided into conventional group (n = 15), home-based group (n = 15) and combined group (n = 15). The conventional group received an eight-week routine rehabilitation program in hospital, the home-based group received an eight-week home exercise prescription training, and the combined group first received four weeks of routine rehabilitation in hospital, and followed by four weeks of home exercise prescription training. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale for pain (VAS), University of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA), Constant-Murley Score (CMS), range of motion (ROM) of shoulder, and the Short-form of Health Survey-36 (SF-36) before treatment, and four and eight weeks after treatment. ResultsVAS scores decreased in all the three groups four and eight weeks after treatment (Z > 2.964, P < 0.001), which was the most in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (|Z| > 2.531, P < 0.05). The main effect of time was significant in scores of UCLA, CMS, and physical health and mental health of SF-36 (F > 498.102, P < 0.001), which improved after treatment (P < 0.001). The main effect of group was significant in score of mental health of SF-36 (F = 7.408, P = 0.002), which was the most in the home-based group four and eight weeks after treatment (P < 0.01). The interaction was significant in score of physical health of SF-36 (F = 10.138, P < 0.001), which was the least in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (P < 0.05). The main effect of time was significant in every direction of ROM, which improved after treatment (P < 0.001). The interaction was significant in ROM of abduction and external rotation (F > 4.059, P < 0.01), and almost significant in ROM of flexion (F = 2.412, P = 0.055). However, ROM of flexion was less in the home-based group than in the combined group four weeks after treatment (P = 0.047), which was less in the home-based group than in the conventional group eight weeks after treatment (P = 0.042); ROM of abduction was the least in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (P < 0.01), which was less in the home-based group than in the combined group eight weeks after treatment (P = 0.046); ROM of external rotation was less in the home-based group than in the combined group four weeks after treatment (P = 0.022). ConclusionHome exercise is effective on pain, function and quality of life in patients after operation for rotator cuff injury. There are benefits with both home exercise and institution-based rehabilitation, and almost the same in a whole eight weeks after treatment.

OBJECTIVE To identify the key genes associated with lymph node metastasis in head and neck squamous carcinoma(HNSCC)and construct a prognostic model based on The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database.METHODS Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between tumor tissues and normal tissues in the HNSCC dataset in the TCGA database were screened by R software,and gene modules related to lymph node metastasis were screened by weighted gene co-expression network(weighted gene co-expression network analysis,WGCNA).Prognostic risk models were constructed by univariate cox regression and Lasso regression analyses.Survival analyses and ROC curves were performed to verify the Reliability of prognostic models.CIBERSORT,TIMER and ESTIMATE algorithms analysed the differences in the tumor micro environment(TME)of different risk groups.RESULTS There were 2 565 DEGs screened,and a set of gene modules highly correlated with disease prognosis and lymph node metastasis were obtained by WGCNA analysis,and correlation analysis verified that the expression of genes in this gene module was highly correlated with lymph node metastasis.Univariate cox regression and Lasso regression were used to identify 6 key prognostic genes:CDKN2A,CCNE2,KNSTRN,AURKA,KPNA2,and ORC1.A prognostic model was constructed based on the 6 genes,and survival analysis showed that the prognosis of the high-risk group was significantly worse than that of the low-risk group(P<0.0001).The ROC curves demonstrated the good predictive performance of this prognostic model.CIBERSORT analyses revealed differences in the immune microenvironment of tumors in different risk groups.CONCLUSION The 6 key prognostic genes screened were helpful in predicting the prognosis of HNSCC patients and were closely associated with the immune microenvironment of HNSCC,suggesting that they may serve as potential therapeutic targets.

Objective:To perform harmonization based on the ComBat method for PET brain imaging scanned by different types of scanners from the same manufacturer and explored its effect on center effect.Methods:The three-dimensional (3D) Hoffman brain model was scanned by two different PET/CT instruments (Siemens Biograph64 TruePoint and Biograph128 mCT). Fourteen healthy subjects (8 males, 6 females, age: (57.7±9.5) years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT on Siemens Biograph64 TruePoint and 12 healthy subjects (9 males, 3 females, age: (55.8±10.5) years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT on Siemens Biograph128 mCT (all from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University; from November 2020 to March 2023). The whole brain was divided into 116 brain regions based on the anatomical automatic labeling (AAL) brain template. The ComBat method was applied to harmonized the PET data from brain model and healthy subjects. Mann-Whitney U test was performed on the radioactive counts and SUV ratios (SUVR) before and after homogenization acquired by both PET/CT instruments. Voxel-based statistical parametric mapping (SPM) independent-sample t test was also performed on data of healthy subjects. Results:In 3D Hoffman brain model, radioactivity counts (5 590.33(4 961.67, 6 102.95) vs 6 116.03(5 420.97, 6 660.66); z=-9.35, P<0.001) and SUVR (1.35(1.19, 1.47) vs 1.37(1.21, 1.49); z=-3.63, P<0.001) were significantly different between the two PET/CT scanners before harmonization and not after harmonization (radioactivity counts: 5 845.95(5 192.68, 6 378.63) vs 5 859.17(5 193.84, 6 380.52); SUVR: 1.35(1.20, 1.48) vs 1.36(1.20, 1.49); both z=-0.68, both P=0.498). In the healthy subjects, radioactive counts in 19 brain regions (12 422.78(11 181.60, 13 424.28)-18 166.40(15 882.80, 18 666.27); z values: from -3.24 to -2.06, all P<0.05) and SUVR in 40 brain regions (1.46(1.41, 1.52)-2.28(2.16, 2.36); z values: from -3.65 to -1.70, all P<0.05) were significantly different between the two scanners before harmonization, while after homogenization there were no statistical differences for all 116 brain regions (radioactivity counts: 9 243.55(8 502.38, 9 854.87)-20 419.60(19 931.51, 21 179.43); z values: from -0.72 to 0, all P>0.05; SUVR: 1.04(1.01, 1.09)-2.32(2.24, 2.40); z values: from -0.82 to 0, all P>0.05). SPM showed that significant differences of glucose metabolism in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, midbrain and cerebellum were found in healthy subjects between the two PET/CT scanners before homogenization, and brain regions with obvious differences reduced after homogenization. Conclusion:ComBat harmonization method is efficient at removing the center effect among different types of PET/CT scanners from the same manufacturer and may provide a simple and easy-to-implement homogenization for multicenter brain imaging studies.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil in the treatment of self?control intravenous an?algesia after laparoscopic surgery. Methods Sixty patients,who underwent laparoscopic sugery and general anaesthesia,American Society of Anes?thesiologistsⅠtoⅡ,were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine(DS)group and sufentanil(S)group,with thirty cases in each group. Group S received sufentanil 2μg·kg-1 and ramosetron hydrochloride 0.3 mg;group DS received sufentanil 2μg·kg-1,dexmedetomidine 200μg and ramose?tron hydrochloride 0.3 mg. Drugs of both groups were dissolved in saline 100 mL,with a loading dose of 4 mL,background infusion of 2 mL·h-1,con?trolled dose of 0.5 mL·h-1,and the lockout time was 15 min. Visual analog scale(VAS)score,Ramsay sedation scale(RSS)score,sufentanil cu?mulative consumption after surgery at 2 h,4 h,6 h,12 h,24 h were recorded,as well as the adverse reactions such as nausea,the occurrence of vomiting and chills within 24 h after surgery,and the satisfaction of patients with postoperative analgesia. Results Six hours post operation,VAS score of group DS was significantly lower than the group S(P<0.05);2 hours post operation,RSS score of group DS was significantly higher than the group S(P<0.05);the cumulative consumption within 6 hours after sufentanil was significantly lower in group DS than group S(P<0.05). The incidence of nausea,vomiting,chills and other adverse reactions were significantly higher in group S than group DS(P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the simple application of sufentanil,dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil for postoperative analgesia achieve better analgesic effect,reducing the amount of sufentanil,while reducing the associated sufentanil adverse reactions,improve patient comfort and satisfaction of post?operative analgesia.
