The interstitial protein UL14 of pseudorabies virus(PRV)constitutes a crucial compo-nent for viral replication and virulence invasion.It can interact with other viral proteins to complete the infection of the host,rendering it one of the potentially important antiviral targets.In this stud-y,the PRV DX strain isolated in the laboratory was used as the parental strain.The recombinant UL14 protein was expressed and purified through the prokaryotic expression system.BALB/c mice were immunized with this protein as an antigen.After three rounds of subcloning screening,three hybridoma cell lines against the UL14 protein were obtained,named 1B4,1B5,and 1F2,respective-ly.The immunoreactivity of the antibodies was detected by immunofluorescence assay(IFA).The results showed that the antibody titers of the 1B4 and 1B5 strains were not lower than 1∶3 200,and that of the 1F2 strain was not lower than 1∶2 000.The results of western blot(WB)detection showed that the antibody titers of the three strains were all not lower than 1∶8 000.The results of indirect ELISA detection showed that the antibody titers in ascites were all not lower than 112 800.The results of the identification of the antigenic epitopes of the UL14 protein showed that the antigenic epitope recognized by 1B4 was 1 MFASDRRERRVRLAEAFQRE20,and the antigenic epitopes recognized by 1B5 and 1F2 were speculated to be 33GRADKKNPEFVRAFMAAKQAR53.After PRV infected susceptible cells,the temporal expression of the UL14 protein was detected by IF A using the prepared monoclonal antibodies.It was found that the temporal expression of UL14 was similar to that of gC,and the result of RT-qPCR of UL14 gene was consistent with IF A,indi-cating that UL14 might be a late gene during the PRV replication.The subcellular localization of UL14 after virus infection was detected by IFA,and it was found that the UL14 protein could be transferred from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and the expression of UL14 protein increased with the extension of infection time.This study provides a good research tool for further investigating on the function of the PRV UL14 protein and might contribute to the further study of the PRV replication mechanism mediated by the PRV UL14 protein.

As the backbone force of China's social and economic construction, the health status of workers is closely related to the nation's productivity and social development. Currently, cancers have become one of the major diseases threatening the health of workers. However, there are still many shortcomings in the cancer screening services for the workers. To standardize cancer screening services for workers, ensure the quality of screening services, and improve the overall screening effectiveness, 19 institutions, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, have jointly formulated the Group Standard "Specification for service of cancer screening for workers (T/CHAA 023-2023)". This standard follows the principles of "legality, scientific rigor, advancement, and feasibility" and combines the frontier scientific advances in cancer screening. It clarifies the relevant requirements for service principles, service design, service delivery, service management, service evaluation, and improving worker cancer screening. Implementing this group standard will help connect the common screening needs of workers, employers, and cancer screening service providers, standardize the screening process, improve screening quality, and ultimately increase the early diagnosis rate and survival rate of cancer patients. Consequently, this group standard will help safeguard workers' health rights and interests, ensure the labor force resources, promote the comprehensive coordinated and sustainable development of society, and contribute to realizing the "Healthy China 2030" strategic policy.

Objective :
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of plasma exosome⁃derived miR⁃29b⁃3p in myocardial ischemia⁃reperfusion injury ( MIRI) rats on hypoxia/reoxygenation ( H/R) cardiomyocyte after
sevoflurane (SEV) postconditioning through targeting IGF1 .
Methods :
The GEO database was used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs in MIRI , and cardiomyocytes were treated with H/R to construct a MIRI cell model. The expression of miR⁃29b⁃3p and IGF1 in the MIRI cell model post⁃treated with SEV was intervened , and then the survival rate of cardiomyocytes was detected by MTT , apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry , and inflammatory factors (IL⁃1β and TNF⁃α ) in cardiomyocytes in each group were detected by ELISA.
Results :
Compared with Normal group , the expression of miR⁃29b⁃3p in plasma exosomes of MIRI rats was enhanced (P < 0. 05) , and the target⁃binding relationship between miR⁃29b⁃3p and IGF1 was confirmed ( P < 0. 05) . After SEV post⁃treatment , the expression of miR⁃29b⁃3p in H/R⁃stimulated cardiomyocytes decreased , while the expression of IGF1 increased (both P < 0. 05) . Overexpression of miR⁃29b⁃3p in plasma exosomes could significantly inhibit the survival rate of H/R cells after SEV treatment , aggravate apoptosis and inflammatory response , while knockdown of miR⁃29b⁃3p showed a opposite effects (all P < 0. 05) . The rescue experimental data showed that overexpression of IGF1 could partially reverse the effects of overexpression of miR⁃29b⁃3p on H/R cell injury after SEV treatment ( all P <0. 05) .
Conclusion
Plasma exosome⁃derived miR⁃29b⁃3p promotes H/R cardiomyocyte injury after SEV treatment by targeting IGF1 .
