Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 （TREM2） is expressed in resident non-parenchymal cells （NPCs） and is involved in various pathological processes including liver inflammation and immunoregulation. In recent years， TREM2 has attracted attention in the field of acute and chronic liver diseases， and more and more studies have shown that TREM2 is a potential target for the treatment of acute and chronic liver diseases； however， there is a lack of systematic summary for the mechanism of action of TREM2 in acute and chronic liver diseases. Therefore， this article reviews the latest research advances in the regulatory role of TREM2 in acute and chronic liver diseases， in order to provide new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of acute and chronic liver diseases.

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.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Objective:To discuss the relationship between three proinflammatory factors and muscle mass(MM)in the elderly patients with sarcopenic obesity and diabetes,and to provide theoretical basis for the development of clinical treatment protocols in the elderly patients with sarcopenic obesity and diabetes.Methods:The elderly patients with diabetes who visited our hospital from January 2021 to May 2023 were selected,including 41 patients with obesity and diabetes(OD group)and 46 patients with sarcopenic obesity and diabetes(SOD group);80 healthy subjects(control group)and 62 subjects with simple obesity(SO group)who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were included.The clinical data of the subjects in four groups were compared,and the correlations between proinflammatory factors and MM and fat mass(FM)were analyzed.All the subjects were divided into sarcopenia group and normal group based on the presence of sarcopenia.Logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of sarcopenia;receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to determine the predictive value of the above factors for sarcopenia.Results:Compared with control group,the body mass index(BMI),FM and body fat percentage(BFP)of the subjects in SOD,OD and SO groups were significantly increased(P＜0.05);compared with control group,OD group and SO group,the appendicular skeletal muscle mass(ASM),appendicular skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI)and grip strength(GS)of the subjects in SOD group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the levels of serum interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were significantly increased(P＜0.05).In all the subjects,the IL-6,CRP and TNF-α were negatively correlated with ASMI(r=-0.589,r=-0.621,r=-0.620;P＜0.05),and positively correlated with BFP(r=0.252,r=0.221,r=0.147;P＜0.05).Compared with normal group,the ASM,ASMI and GS of the subjects in sarcopenia group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the levels of serum proinflammatory factors IL-6,CRP and TNF-α were significantly increased(P＜0.05).The univariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that IL-6,CRP and TNF-α were the influencing factors of sarcopenia(P＜0.05).The multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that the increased levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were the independent risk factors for sarcopenia(OR＞1,P＜0.05).The ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)values of IL-6,CRP and TNF-α were all＞0.700,indicating that the above indicators had good predictive value for sarcopenia.Conclusion:The increased levels of proinflammatory factors IL-6,CRP and TNF-α are associated with the decrease of MM in the elderly patients with sarcopenic obesity and diabetes,and IL-6 and TNF-α are the independent risk factors for the sarcopenia.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of BRAF V600E mutation detection combined with liquid-based thin-preparation cytologic test(LCT)in the preoperative diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)and the related pathological characteristics of BRAF V600E mutation.METHODS Clinical data of 428 patients with thyroid nodules who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and liquid-based cytology diagnosis and BRAF V600E gene mutation detection simultaneously before surgery.RESULTS The results of BRAF V600E mutation were significantly correlated with the results of liquid-based cytology diagnosis in patients(P<0.01).The area under the curve(AUC value)of LCT was 0.88,and the AUC value of BRAF V600E was 0.84.The sensitivity and specificity of LCT for preoperative diagnosis of PTC were 0.80 and 0.96,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of BRAF V600E for preoperative diagnosis of PTC were 0.72 and 0.96,respectively.The AUC value of LCT combined with BRAF V600E for the diagnosis of PTC was 0.93 while the sensitivity and specificity were 0.88 and 0.92,respectively.The combined diagnosis significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity of thyroid nodule disease diagnosis,with a statistically significant difference(Z=-5.50,-4.60,P<0.001).In addition,BRAF V600E mutation was associated with the age of patients,the maximum diameter of nodules,and whether the capsule was invaded,with significant statistical differences between groups(P<0.05),but was not associated with gender,whether the nodules were multifocal,whether lymph node metastasis occurred,or whether Hashimoto's thyroiditis was present.CONCLUSION The combination of FNA liquid-based thin-preparation cytologic test and BRAF V600E detection can significantly improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of PTC.

Objective To investigate the effect of indigo on inflammatory factors and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AhR)/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced keratinocytes(HaCaT cells).Methods An LPS-induced HaCaT cell model was established,and experimental groups were set as follows:blank group,model group,indigo group,AhR agonist(2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin,TCDD)group,AhR inhibitor(CH-223191)group,and indigo+AhR inhibitor group.The Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of indigo,TCDD,and CH-223191 on HaCaT cell viability after 24 hours of intervention.Quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)was employed to measure the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),AhR,cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A member 1(CYP1A1),NLRP3,Caspase-1,and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC)in each group.Western Blot analysis was used to assess changes in the cellular localization of AhR protein expression.Results(1)The IC50 of indigo intervention in HaCaT cells was 118.7 μmol·L-1.Treatment with different concentrations of CH-223191 and TCDD for 24 hours had no significant effect on HaCaT cell viability.(2)Compared with the model group,the indigo group showed decreased mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,NF-κB,NLRP3,and Caspase-1(P＜0.05 or P＜0.000 1),while the mRNA expression levels of AhR and CYP1A1 were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.000 1).(3)Compared with the blank group,the indigo group reduced cytoplasmic AhR protein expression and increased nuclear AhR protein expression(P＜0.001 or P＜0.000 1).(4)Compared with the model group,both the indigo group and the AhR agonist group significantly increased AhR mRNA expression levels(P＜0.05),while the AhR inhibitor group decreased AhR and CYP1A1 mRNA expression levels(P＜0.05)and increased IL-1β and NLRP3 mRNA expression levels(P＜0.05).(5)Compared with the AhR inhibitor group,the indigo+AhR inhibitor group showed increased mRNA expression levels of AhR and CYP1A1(P＜0.05)and decreased mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,and IL-1β(P＜0.05).Conclusion Indigo reduces inflammatory factors in LPS-induced HaCaT cells and participates in inhibiting the occurrence and development of psoriasis by activating AhR to negatively regulate the NLRP3 inflammasome.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the quality markers of antioxidant activity for standard decoction of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus.METHODS 15 batches of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus standard decoctions were subjected to quality evaluation by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC)based on single-marker(QAMS)method,before being summarized by chemometrics analysis.The antioxidant abilities of 15 batches of samples were determined by DPPH and ABTS methods,while gray correlation analy-sis(GRA)and the partial least squares regression(PLSR)methods were subsequently applied to investigating the relationship between the contents of 8 components and the antioxidant activity.Ultimately,molecule docking was utilized to explore the binding properties between candidate quality markers and the core targets of anti-oxidation,with the experimental verification being executed on the indi-vidual compound by in vitro anti-oxidation.RESULTS There was no remarkable difference between the results of QAMS and external standard method(ESM),with P valued greater than 0.05.And it was speculated that protocatechuic acid,gomisin A,schizantherin B and schisandrin B were the constituents of quality difference.Moreover,the 4 quality variation components were reckoned to be the al-ternative markers on antioxidant according to the results of GRA and PLSR.The molecule docking result also showed that 4 candidate quality markers presented good binding affinity with the antioxidant core targets.The antioxidant capacity was presumably originated from the collaborated effects by multi-components in the standard decoction of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus.In the interim,protocate-chuic acid exhibited noteworthy antioxidant efficacy with dosage-depended manner in the results of single-compound verification,which was best conformed to the characteristics of quality markers and supposed to be the antioxidant quality marker for Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus standard decoction.CONCLUSION This research predicts the potential antioxidant substances on the basis of content deter-mination by UPLC and in vitro antioxidant assay,but also provides rational foundation for quality assessment on other preparations of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus.
