The incidence of knee osteoarthritis(KOA)is in-creasing year by year,seriously affecting patients'health.Mes-enchymal stem cells are multipotent cells with multiple differen-tiation functions.The extracellular vesicles released by these cells can carry various"cargo"to corresponding cells and tis-sues,exerting biological functions.They have shown great clini-cal potential in the treatment of KOA.This study reviews the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of extracellular vesicles se-creted by mesenchymal stem cells from different tissues such as bone marrow,adipose tissue,and synovium in KOA.It is found that miRNA is an important biological component in exerting therapeutic effects.The study also discusses the research pro-gress of engineered extracellular vesicles in KOA,pointing out the current challenges in clinical application,such as standard-ized acquisition of extracellular vesicles and difficulties in targe-ted action,aiming to provide a certain reference for the basic re-search and clinical application of extracellular vesicle therapy for KOA.

Cancer stem cell(CSC)are the"seed"cells in the occurrence,development,metastasis and recurrence of colorectal cancer.Targeted killing of CSC provides a new target for anti-colorectal cancer therapy.Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death mode due to the abnormal accumulation of intracellular i-ron ions,which results in the massive reactive oxygen species(ROS)and lipid peroxides,leading to cell death.Studies have shown that cancer stem cells are more enriched in iron ions than non-CSC,which provides a new perspective for targeting ferropto-sis in cancer stem cells against colorectal cancer.This article re-views the research progress of inducing CSC ferroptosis in the treatment of colorectal cancer,such as targeted regulation of SLC7A11 expression in CSC,chelating iron in CSC lysosomes,targeting CSC phenotypic plasticity,reversing CSC iron homeo-stasis,and targeting CSC lipid droplet metabolism induce CSC ferroptosis,which provides new ideas for anti-tumor therapy.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of high hip center technique total hip arthroplasty(THA)for CroweⅡ and Ⅲ developmental dysplasia of hip(DDH)and severe hip osteoarthritis(HOA).Methods From January 2018 to Jan-uary 2020,74 patients with Crowe type Ⅱ and Ⅲ DDH and severe HOA were admitted,and 37 cases of anatomical hip center reconstruction were taken as control group,including 7 males and 30 females,aged from 42 to 65 years old with an average of(58.40±4.98)years old,body mass index(BMI)ranged from 18 to 29 kg·m-2 with an average of(23.02±2.21)kg·m-2.Thirty-seven routine high hip center technical reconstruction were performed as study group,including 5 males and 32 females,aged from 41 to 65 years old with an average of(57.31±5.42)years old,BMI ranged from 18 to 29 kg·m-2 with an average of(23.14±2.07)kg·m-2.The patients presented with hip pain,limited function and range of motion,and gait instability before surgery.All patients underwent THA,the control group underwent intraoperative anatomical hip center reconstruction,and the study group underwent intraoperative high hip joint reconstruction.The perioperative indicators of the two groups were com-pared.The hip joint function,balance function and gait of the patients were evaluated before surgery,3 months,6 months,and 12 months after surgery.The length difference of both lower limbs,horizontal distance of rotation center,vertical distance of ro-tation center and femoral eccentricity were measured before operation and 1 year after operation.The incidence of complica-tions in the two groups during the operation and postoperative follow-up was counted.Results The operation time of the study group was shorter than that of the control group,and the intraoperative blood loss was less than that of the control group(P＜0.05).After 12-months follow-up,1 was lost to followvup in study group and 2 were lost to follow-up in control group.The Har-ris scores and Berg balance scale(BBS),pace,stride frequency and single step length in the study group were higher than those in the control group at 3 months and 6 months after operation(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the indexes 12 months after operation(P＞0.05).The vertical distance of the center of rotation of the study group was greater than that of the control group 12 months after operation(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the length difference of the lower limbs,the horizontal distance of the center of rotation,and the femoral eccentricity between two groups(P＞0.05).There were no complications in either group.Conclusion The long-term effects of TH A in patients with DDH and severe HO A were similar between the two central hip reconstruction methods,and the safety was good,and the high hip central reconstruction technique could shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss.At the same time,it has certain advantages in early recovery of hip joint function,balance function and walking function of patients.

Objective To compare the application effects of high-frequency electric surgical knife and scalpel in blepharoplasty.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 35 patients(70 eyes)who were admitted to the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital,Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine from January to July 2021,and one side eye was randomly selected as the high-frequency electric surgical knife group(operated by high-frequency electric surgical knife)and the other side eye as the scalpel group(operated by scalpel),with 35 eyes in each group.The effect of blepharoplasty in both eyes after surgery was evaluated.The swelling and ecchymosis of the patients were observed 1 day,1 week,1 month and 3 months after surgery.The Manchester scar scale(MSS)was used to evaluate the scarring of the patients 1 week,1 month and 3 months after surgery.The excised tissues were stained with HE staining and TUNEL staining to assess the degree of necrosis and the extent of thermal damage to the skin and muscle.Results There was no statistically significant difference in swelling,ecchymosis,pain or scarring after surgery between the two groups(P＞0.05).The eyelids of the high-frequency electrosurgical group showed coagulative necrosis of muscle tissue,and the scalpel group had almost no coagulative necrosis.There was statistically significant difference in the proportion of coagulable necrotic muscle after surgery between the two groups(P＜0.05),and the depth of thermal damage in the high-frequency electric surgical knife group was greater than that in the scalpel group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The high-frequency electric surgical knife in blepharoplasty is simple to operate,and safe to use,with timely intraoperative incision and coagulation,which can obtain good surgical field and effect.

The effect of porcine SIRT5 on replication of foot and mouth disease virus type O(FMDV-O)and the underlying regulatory mechanism were investigated.Western blot and RT-qPCR analyses were employed to monitor expression of endoge-nous SIRT5 in PK-15 cells infected with FMDV-O.Three pairs of SIRT5-specific siRNAs were synthesized.Changes to SIRT5 and FMDV-O protein and transcript levels,in addition to virus copy numbers,were measured by western blot and RT-qPCR analyses.PK-15 cells were transfected with a eukaryotic SIRT5 expression plasmid.Western blot and RT-qPCR analyses were used to explore the impact of SIRT5 overexpression on FMDV-O replication.Meanwhile,RT-qPCR analysis was used to detect the effect of SIRT5 overexpression on the mRNA expression levels of type I interferon-stimulated genes induced by SeV and FMDV-O.The results showed that expression of SIRT5 was up-regulated in PK-15 cells infected with FMDV-O and siRNA interfered with SIRT5 to inhibit FMDV-O replication.SIRT5 overexpression promoted FMDV-O replication.SIRT5 over-expression decreased mRNA expression levels of interferon-stimulated genes induced by SeV and FMDV-O.These results suggest that FMDV-O infection stimulated expression of SIRT5 in PK-15 cells,while SIRT5 promoted FMDV-O rep-lication by inhibiting production of type I interferon-stimula-ted genes.These findings provide a reference to further ex-plore the mechanism underlying the ability of porcine SIRT5 to promote FMDV-O replication.

This study analyzed the epidemic characteristics and spatial and temporal clustering of leptospirosis in Wenzhou from 2014 to 2023,to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control.Data for leptospirosis cases reported in Wenzhou from 2014 to 2023 were collected.Descriptive epidemiological approaches were used to analyze the cases'prevalence character-istics.Spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed in ArcGIS 10.2 software,and spatiotemporal clusters were scanned with SaTScan 10.1 software.From 2014 to 2023,189 leptospirosis cases were reported in Wenzhou,and the average annual inci-dence rate was 0.23/100 000.Relatively fewer cases occurred in 2014-2018,whereas significantly more cases occurred after 2019,and the largest number of reported cases was reported in 2021(62 cases).The peak incidence was from August to Octo-ber,accounting for 88.36％of the total incidence.The cases were mainly in males,and the sex ratio was 5.30∶1 male:female.Moreover,the cases were mainly in people in their 60s,accounting for 59.26％of total cases,and in people who were farmers,accounting for 72.49％of total cases.Global spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated that cases were randomly distributed from 2014 to 2018,and the incidence showed spatial clustering from 2019 to 2023(Moran's I＞0,P＜0.05).Local spatial autocor-relation and spatiotemporal scanning analysis revealed that leptospirosis cases were concentrated primarily in northern hilly areas of Yongjia County and other inland areas rich in vegetation from 2019 to 2023.In the past 5 years,the number of lepto-spirosis cases in Wenzhou increased,and the incidence of leptospirosis showed clear seasonal and spatial clustering.Cases were mainly in middle-aged and older farmers.Recommendations in-clude expanding the monitoring scope of leptospirosis,and per-forming prevention and control measures such as health education for key groups in key areas before the high-incidence season.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and clinical value of high-throughput sequencing(HTS)and Sanger sequencing in detecting ABL kinase domain mutations in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia(CML).Methods:A total of 198 samples of 147 CML patients from July 2017 to March 2021 in Henan Cancer Hospital were collected and underwent high-throughput sequencing and Sanger sequencing to detect the mutations in ABL kinase domain,and the relevant clinical data were collected for comparative analysis.Results:The proportion of total mutations and ≥ 2 mutations detected by high-throughput sequencing were significantly higher than those detected by Sanger sequencing(P=0.01;P=0.046).≥ 2 mutations were detected in 22 cases,of which 5 cases(22.7％)had compound mutations.High-throughput sequencing can detect low level mutations that cannot be detected by Sanger sequencing.In 198 samples,25(12.6％)were low level mutations,33(16.7％)were high level mutations and 10(5.1％)were mixed high and low level mutations.In the analysis of related clinical factors,the total mutation rate and the low level mutation rate in the optimal period,failure period and warning period were gradually increased(total mutation rate,P=0.016;low level mutation rate,P=0.005).The mutation rate of the samples with additional chromosomal abnormalities was also significantly increased(P=0.009).The mutation rate of patients who received first-and second-line treatment was significantly lower than that of patients who received third-or higher-line treatment(P=0.006).Analysis based on variant allele frequency(VAF)of the mutation site was helpful to visually evaluate the clonal evolution status of TKI-resistance CML cells.Conclusion:High-throughput sequencing is more sensitive and accurate than Sanger sequencing in mutation detection,which is helpful to accurately and visually evaluate TKI treatment response and optimize treatment strategy for CML.
