Objective To understand the surveillance situation of poliovirus in Guangzhou from 2011 to 2024, and to further strengthen polio surveillance and ensure the continued maintenance of a polio-free status. Methods An analysis was conducted on the discovery and investigation results of six cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) detected in Guangzhou. Results A total of 6 VDPV incidents were reported in Guangzhou from 2011 to June 2024, among which 5 incidents were from sewage sample testing in the Liede Sewage Treatment Plant in Guangzhou, all of which were confirmed as VDPV, with 1 for type I, 1 for type II, and 3 for type III. In addition, one confirmed HFMD case was identified as a type VDPV II carrier. No presence of any wild poliovirus (WPV), VDPV cases, or circulating VDPV (cVDPV) was reported. Conclusion Guangzhou City has maintained a high level of vigilance and effectiveness in the monitoring and prevention of polio. Continuously strengthening the construction of the polio monitoring network, optimizing vaccination strategies, and comprehensively improving public health awareness are still the focus of the prevention and control work in the future.

Objective To explore and compare the clinical efficacy of orthopedic robot assisted femoral neck system(FNS)and traditional manual FNS in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in middle-aged and young people.Methods The clinical data of 62 consecutive patients with femoral neck fracture and age less than 65 years old admitted to the Intelligent Or-thopaedic Department of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether orthopedic robot-assisted surgery the patients were divided into two groups:30 patients aged 34 to 56 years old were treated with orthopedic robot assisted FNS internal fixation after closed or limited open reduction(experimental group);32 pa-tients aged 33 to 54 years old underwent FNS internal fixation after closed or limited open reduction(control group).The age,gender,time from injury to admission,average hospital stay,surgical duration,intraoperative bleeding volume,and intraopera-tive fluoroscopy frequency of two groups of patients were analyzed and compared.The hip joint function in both groups of pa-tients was evaluated using the Harris hip joint scoring standard at 6 months after surgery.Results All 62 patients with femoral neck fractures successfully completed the surgery.There was no significant difference(P＞0.05)between the experimental group and the control group in terms of baseline data such as age,gender,time from injury to admission,time from admission to surgery and the intraoperative bleeding.The surgical duration of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group[42.1(28.5,50.7)min vs.53.4(36.9,62.5)min,Z=-2.338,P=0.019].The intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy frequency of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group[8.0(6.0,11.0)times vs.15.0(13.0,17.0)times,Z=-5.960,P＜0.001].In terms of postoperative hip joint function,there was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups of patients at 6-month follow-up(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with manual operation of FNS,orthopedic robot assisted FNS in the treatment of femoral neck fractures can help shorten surgical time,reduce intraop-erative fluoroscopy frequency,and have similar therapeutic effects on long-term hip joint function recovery.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome of transcatheter closure of adult's atrial septal defect(ASD)by femoral vein under the guidance of echocardiography.Methods A total of 116 adults diagnosed with ASD and scheduled for transcatheter closure surgery were included in this study.The participants consisted of 17 males and 99 females and were treated at the Department of Cardiac Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between August 2021 and November 2023.The age of the patients was 18-73(39.7±11.5)years old.Among 116 patients,110 cases had central ASD,6 cases had patent foramen ovale.All patients had normal cardiac function and no other cardiac abnormalities were detected.All the operations were performed with ASD occlusion via the femoral vein under general anesthesia.ASD occlusion was guided by transesophageal or/and transthoracic echocardiography.Results Out of the total 116 cases included in the study,successful ASD occlusion was achieved in 114 cases with the guidance of echo-cardiography.However,in two cases,the procedure was unsuccessful.One patient,who had multiple atrial septal defects,experienced a significant residual shunt of 4 mm after transcatheter closure of ASD.The other patient,who had a large ASD and a small left atrium,also experienced a failed occlusion.In these two cases underwent repair of ASD under complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.The procedural time was 15-40(17.4±5.6)min.The occluders diameter was 14-44(27.3±6.5)mm.No instances of peripheral vascular injury,occluder fall-off,occlusive displacement,obvious residual shunt,or other complications were observed in patients who underwent successful occlusion procedures during and after the operation.All patients were admitted to the general ward after successful extubation inside the operating room.The post-operative hospital stay was(2.1±0.9)days.Conclusions The transcatheter closure of ASD through femoral vein puncture,guided by echocardiography,is a safe and feasible procedure for adult patients.This minimally invasive approach poses no risk of radiation injury.

A quartz crystal microbalance(QCM)-systematic evolution of ligands by the exponential en-richment(SELEX)technique was developed to screen out aptamers with high affinity for arsenic(Ⅲ).A random single strand DNA library was designed and fixed on the mercaptoethylamine-modified crystal plate with arsenic(Ⅲ)as the target,and the free aptamer was captured in the solution,and the QCM-SELEX screening method was constructed.After 6 rounds of screening,the secondary library was se-quenced with high throughput method,and the 6S1 dissociation coefficient Kd value was 0.36 μmol/L based on QCM resonance frequency.Using 6S1 as a probe,the QCM biosensor was constructed for the detection of arsenic(Ⅲ).The sensor has a good linear relationship in the range of 0.01 μmol/L～0.2μmol/L,and the detection limit of arsenic(Ⅲ)is 5.2 nmol/L(3σ),indicatinggood selectivity.

Objective:To detect the expression of L-type amino acid transporter 1(LAT1)in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL)tissues,and analyze its effect on clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.Methods:A total of 92 NHL patients who were treated in our hospital from January 2017 to April 2019 were collected.The expression of LAT1 in NHL tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry and compared between patients with different pathological features(including sex,Ann Arbor stage,extranodal infiltration,Ki-67).The risk factors affecting mortality were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to detect the predictive value of percentage of LAT1-positive cells in NHL tissue for patient mortality,and analyzing the effect of percentage of LAT1-positive cells on survival rate.Results:LAT1 was positively expressed in NHL tissue.The high expression rate of LAT1 in Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ groups were higher than that in Ann Arbor stage Ⅰ group,that in extranodal infiltration group was higher than non-extranodal infiltration group,and that in Ki-67 positive expression group was higher than Ki-67 negative expression group(all P＜0.05).The remission rate after 3 courses of treatment in high-LAT1 expression group was 70.7％,which was lower than 91.2％in low-LAT1 expression group(P＜0.05).Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ,extranodal invasion,Ki-67 positive expression and increased expression of LAT1(LAT1-positive cell percentage score ≥ 2)were risk factors for mortality.The cut-off value of percentage of LAT1-positive cells for predicting NHL death was 45.6％,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.905(95％CI:0.897-0.924).The 3-year survival rate of high-LAT1 level group(the percentage of LAT1-positive cells ≥ 45.6％)was 50.00％,which was lower than 78.26％of low-LAT1 level group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The expression level of LAT1 in NHL tissue increases,which affects Ann Arbor stage and extranodal infiltration of patients.LAT1 is a risk factor for death.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of combined detection of serum microribonucleic acid-30c-5p(miR-30c-5p)and neuroligin-1(NLGN1)for postoperative recur-rence and metastasis in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods:A total of 112 colorectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection from August 2021 to August 2022 were regarded as the diseased group.They were separated into a recurrent group(n=28)and a non-recurrent group(n=84)based on whether the patients had recurrence or metastasis within 12 months after surgery.Additionally,92 normal volunteers who underwent physical examinations were as the control group.QRT-PCR was applied to de-tect serum miR-30c-5p and NLGN1 mRNA levels.Multivariate logistic regression was applied to analyze the affecting factors of postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients.Receiver op-erating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of serum miR-30c-5p and NLGN1 mRNA for postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between miR-30c-5p and NLGN1.Results:The miR-30c-5p level in the diseased group was greatly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05),and the NLGN1 mRNA level was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the non recurrent group,the miR-30c-5p level in the recurrent group was significantly re-duced(P＜0.05),while the NLGN1 mRNA level was significantly increased(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in tissue differentiation between the non-recurrent group and the recurrent group(P＜0.05).Low differentiation of tumor tissues and elevated level of NLGN1 mRNA were risk factors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis(P＜0.05).Elevated level of miR-30c-5p was a protective factor of postoperative recurrence and metastasis(P＜0.05).The AUC of serum miR-30c-5p,NLGN1 mRNA,and their combined prediction for postoperative re-currence and metasta sis in patients was 0.823,0.823,and 0.902,which was greatly better than the individual prediction of miR-30c-5p(Z=2.031,P=0.042)and NLGN1 mRNA(Z=2.239,P=0.025).There was a negative correlation between miR-30c-5p and NLGN1 mRNA levels(r=-0.436,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The dicrease of miR-30c-5p level and increase of NLGN1 mRNA level in laparoscopic colorectal cancer patient has auxiliary predictive value for postoperative recur-rence and metastasis.

Objective:To study the expression of the Homeobox C6(HOXC6)gene in the homeobox family in PCa,its effect on the biological behavior of PCa cells and its action mechanism.Methods:Based on the studies of HOXC6 retrieved from the data-base of Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA),we analyzed the expression of HOXC6 in PCa and the relationship of its expression level with the survival prognosis of the patients.We detected the expression of the HOXC6 protein in PCa tissues and cells by Western blot,stably interfered with the expression of the HOXC6 gene in human PCa DU145 and PC-3 cells and normal prosta-tic epithelial RWPE-1 cells using the siRNA plasmid,and determined the effects of HOXC6 on the proliferation,migration and inva-siveness of PCa cells by CCK8,plate cloning and scratch healing and Transwell invasion assays.Using the GEPIA database,we ana-lyzed the correlation of the Wnt tumor inhibitory factor-secreted frizzled-related protein 1(SFRP1)gene with HOXC6,and detected the expressions of HOXC6,SFRP1,Wnt and β-catenin in PC-3 cells after siRNA-HOXC6 transfection by Western blot.Results:The expression of HOXC6 was dramatically higher in the PCa than in the normal prostate tissue(P<0.01),and in the PCa cells than in the normal prostatic epithelial cells(P<0.01).Bioinformatics analysis indicated a lower survival rate of the PCa patients with a high than those with a low HOXC6 expression(P=0.011).The relative expression of the HOXC6 protein,absorbance value,number of clones formed and number of invaded cells were significantly lower in the siRNA group than in the negative controls(P<0.05).Ac-cording to the GEPIA database,highly expressed SFRP1 was associated with a good prognosis of PCa,and the protein expressions of Wnt and β-catenin were markedly increased while that of SFRP1 decreased in the PCa PC-3 cell line(P<0.05).The expressions of the Wnt and β-catenin proteins were decreased and that of SFRP1 increased significantly in the siRNA-HOXC6 transfection group com-pared with those in the siRNA negative control and PCa PC-3 groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:HOXC6 is highly expressed in PCa tissues and related to the proliferation,migration and invasiveness of PCa cells.HOXC6 promotes the growth of DU145 and PC-3 cells in PCa by inhibiting the SFRP1/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,and may be a potential target for clinical treatment of PCa.
