Hepatolenticular degeneration （HLD） is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by copper metabolism impairment， and it is one of the few treatable neurogenetic diseases. A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of four patients with HLD who attended Beijing Ditan Hospital， Capital Medical University， from November 2023 to October 2024， and the genetic testing results of three patients were analyzed， along with a literature review. Among the four patients， there was one female patient and three male patients. All patients had the initial symptoms of dysarthria and limb tremors， and physical examination showed positive K-F rings， normal liver enzyme levels， a reduction in serum ceruloplasmin， and an increase in 24-hour urinary copper excretion. Three patients underwent ATP7B genetic testing， among whom two had compound heterozygous mutations， and one had a heterozygous mutation. In addition， two patients underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging， and the results showed symmetrical long T1 and long T2 signals. All four patients received copper-chelating therapy and achieved a good outcome. This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of four patients with HLD and identifies a case of HLD resulting from a rare heterozygous mutation site， thereby expanding the variation spectrum of the ATP7B gene.

ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze animal models of anxiety disorder based on the clinical characteristics of anxiety disorder in traditional Chinese and Western medicine， systematically assess the clinical compatibility， and provide suggestions for the construction of animal models with a high degree of clinical compatibility between traditional Chinese and Western medicine. MethodsRelevant literature on animal models of anxiety disorder was retrieved from global databases. Scoring scales were developed according to the etiology， pathogenesis， and diagnostic criteria of anxiety disorder in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The animal models of anxiety disorder in the literature were analyzed， and their clinical compatibility was systematically assessed to identify reference-worthy models. ResultsThe average clinical compatibility of existing animal models of anxiety disorder was 42.13% for traditional Chinese medicine and 50.94% for Western medicine. Among these， the chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） model had the highest compatibility with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However， current models rarely reflect the clinical syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine in depth， and show limitations in syndrome differentiation. ConclusionThe existing animal models of anxiety disorder are mostly established using single-factor approaches， which fail to comprehensively simulate the onset process and physiopathological characteristics of anxiety disorder. These models also neglect the syndrome-based indicators emphasized in traditional Chinese medicine. In the future， the model development should incorporate the clinical characteristics of syndromes in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine， establish standardized evaluation criteria for anxiety disorder models， and utilize multifactorial approaches to enhance the representativeness of animal models in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To investigate the status and influencing factors of platelet bacterial contamination in China, and to provide theoretical support for relevant policies in blood collection and transfusion institutions. Methods: A meta-analysis by systematically searching studies on platelet bacterial contamination in China published between 1998 and 2023 was conducted. Data analysis was performed using R4.4 software to combine studies that met the inclusion criteria. Results: Twenty-three studies were included after screening. The combined analysis showed that the overall contamination rate of platelets in China was 0.18% (95% CI: 0.12%-0.24%). The contamination rate of manually condensed platelets was significantly higher than that of apheresis platelet concentrates (0.28% vs 0.17%, P<0.01). No significant difference in platelet contamination rates was found between eastern and central regions (0.21% vs 0.15%, P>0.01). The contamination rate of aerobic bacteria was higher than that of anaerobic bacteria (0.11% vs 0.06%, P<0.01). Publication bias analysis indicated robust results, and sensitivity analysis showed minimal impact of excluding individual studies on the overall conclusion. Conclusion: Although the platelet contamination rate in China is generally low, significant differences exist across collection methods and regions.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of Jiaotai Pill(JTP)on type 2 diabetic(T2DM)rats,a systemic study was conducted by examining the changes in neurotransmitter levels related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis.Methods The rats were divided into a normal group,a model group,a metformin group(183 mg·kg-1·d-1),and a JTP treatment group(3.3 g·kg-1·d-1).A T2DM model was established using a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin.After 28 days of intragastric administration of JTP and metformin,metabolic indicators,Fasting blood glucose(FBG),insulin(INS),blood lipids,and pathological changes in the liver and kidneys were measured in each group of rats.Levels of eight neurotransmitters were quantified in serum,urine,and multiple tissues(brain,heart,liver,kidney,intestine,and adrenal gland)using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Results Compared to the T2DM model group,the JTP intervention groups showed varying degrees of reduction in water intake,food intake,FBG,INS,and blood lipids(P<0.05).Additionally,the fatty degeneration in the liver,glomerular lesions in the kidneys,and dyslipidemia were significantly improved.JTP intervention significantly modulated the disordered neurotransmitter levels in the blood,urine,and various tissues of T2DM rats(P<0.05),with the greatest number of neurotransmitters showing a notable recovery in blood,urine,brain,and adrenal gland.Conclusion JTP at a dosage of 3.3 g·kg-1·d-1 can improve the glucose and lipid metabolism in rats.JTP can regulate the HPA axis-related neurotransmitter system,mitigating metabolic disturbances and organ damage associated with T2DM.

The aim of this study was to establish a rapid,highly sensitive,and specific nucleic acid detection method for the H5N6 and H9N2 avian influenza virus(AIV)subtypes by using reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification(RT-RPA)combined with clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)-Cas13a proteins.The conserved regions were selected to design specific RT-RPA primers and crRNA sequences of H5,H6,H9,and N2 genes.RT-RPA tech-nology combined with CRISPR-Cas13a detection was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of AIV nucleic acid detec-tion.The detection was performed on avian influenza environmental samples and compared with the results of fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR,to evaluate the effectiveness of the RT-RPA technology combined with CRISPR-Cas13a.AIV H5,H9,and N2 subtypes were detected with a sensitivity as high as 1 copy/μL,and AIV N6 subtypes were detected with a sensitivity of 10 copies/μL.Plasmid samples with differing copy numbers showed fluorescence under blue LED transillumination.The four AIV subtypes showed high specificity and did not cross-react with the other AIV subtypes.The detection of avian influenza ex-ternal environmental samples containing AIV H5,N6,and H9 subtypes was consistent with the results of fluorescence quanti-tative RT-PCR,with 100％accuracy.For AIV N2 subtypes,one additional negative sample was detected with 97.9％accuracy.The established RT-RPA technology combined with CRISPR-Cas13a detection enabled sensitive,specific visual detection of AIV H5N6 and H9N2 subtypes.This study provides a new nucleic acid detection method for AIV surveillance and subtype clas-sification.

Objective To investigate the effect of naringenin(Nar)on hippocampal neuronal injury in neonatal mice with bilirubin encephalopathy,focusing on the Nrf2/GPX4-mediated ferroptosis pathway.Methods Neonatal mice were randomly divided into Control group,Model group,Nar low(Nar-L),high dose group(Nar-H)and high dose naringenin combined with Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 group(Nar-H+ML385),with 15 mice in each group.With the exception of the Control group,mice in the other groups were injected with bilirubin solution(20 μg/g)through the cerebellar bulbar cisterna to establish neonatal mouse bilirubin encephalopathy model.After the establishment of the model,intraperitoneal injection of naringin(25 or 100 mg/kg)or ML385(30 mg/kg)was administered once daily for a consecutive period of 7 days.After intervention,the neurobehavioral changes of each group of mice were observed.The water maze experiment was conducted to assess the long-term learning and memory abilities of the mice in each group.Nissl staining was performed to observe hippocampal neuron damage in mice.Chemical methods were used to measure the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),4-hydroxynonenal(4-HNE),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in the hippocampal tissue of mice.Colorimetric analysis was employed to determine the content of Fe2+in hippocampal tissue.Western blotting was utilized to detect protein expression levels of nuclear associated factor 2(Nrf2),solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)protein in the hippocampal tissue of mice.Results Compared with the Control group,the Model group showed different degrees of abnormal neural behavior,and the long-term learning and memory ability were significantly reduced(P<0.05),at the same time,the hippocampal nerve was seriously damaged,and the contents of MDA,4-HNE and Fe2+in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased(P<0.05),the activities of SOD and GSH-Px and the protein expression levels of Nrf2,SLC7A11 and GPX4 were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,the Nar-L and Nar-H groups had less abnormal behavior,and the long-term learning and memory ability were significantly enhanced(P<0.05),at the same time,the hippocampal nerve injury was significantly improved,and the contents of MDA,4-HNE and Fe2+in hippocampal tissue were significantly decreased(P<0.05),the activities of SOD and GSH-Px and the protein expression levels of Nrf2,SLC7A11 and GPX4 were significantly increased(P<0.05).However,the combined intervention of ML385 significantly attenuates the beneficial effects of Nar on hippocampal neuron damage in neonatal mice with bilirubin encephalopathy.Conclusion This study suggested that Nar can ameliorate neuronal damage in hippocampus of neonatal mice with bilirubin encephalopathy,possibly through the regulation of iron death mediated by Nrf2/GPX4 axis.

Objective:To investigate the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by using PET/MR imaging. Methods:From June 2019 to December 2022, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 134 patients ((65.5±10.0) years) with prostate diseases who underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MR whole-body examination at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, with the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level continuously rising to >4μg/L within 1 month and not yet receiving treatment. Patients were divided into 2 groups (PSA<10μg/L and PSA≥10μg/L). The PET/MR examination included high b-value diffusion imaging, and the ROI was delineated based on the prostate diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) high-signal area and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) low-signal area by the professional radiology physician. The SUV max, mean kurtosis (MK), and mean diffusivity (MD) were obtained. Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed, and ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy. Results:Of 134 patients, 72 were with PSA<10μg/L and 62 were with PSA≥10μg/L. There were 68 patients who obtained biopsy results, including 37 cases of BPH and 31 cases of PCa. In PSA<10μg/L group, there were no significant correlations between MK and SUV max, MK and PSA ( rs values: 0.22, 0.06, P values: 0.065, 0.603). In the PSA≥10μg/L group, there were positive correlations between MK and SUV max, MK and PSA ( rs values: 0.52, 0.40, P values: 0.008, 0.005). In the PSA<10μg/L group, SUV max, MK, and MD showed no diagnostic value (AUCs: 0.44-0.67, all P>0.05), while the AUC for combined diagnosis using these three parameters was 0.78( P=0.008). In the PSA≥10μg/L group, the AUCs of SUV max, MK, and MD were 0.81( P=0.001), 0.84( P<0.001) and 0.72( P=0.023) respectively, and the AUC for combined diagnosis using these three parameters was 0.91( P<0.001). Conclusion:The combination of MK, MD and SUV max improves the diagnostic efficacy of PCa in PET/MR examination.

Objective:To construct a competency-oriented assessment index system based on entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for 5-year undergraduate clinical medical students in oncology internship.Methods:From June to December 2023, the scoping review approach and Bicomb 2.0 were used to construct and manage an item pool. The draft of EPAs and competencies was designed based on truncated word frequency. SPSS 25.0 was used for cluster analysis and UCINET 6.0 was used for visualization. Combining the characteristics and consensus of oncology, a multi-center expert group used the KJ method to draft the framework of EPAs and competencies. Subsequently, the expert group defined milestones and mapped the milestones to the framework to establish the assessment system.Results:Based on 26 included studies, a draft was created containing 19 EPA indicators and 72 competency characteristic indicators. After cluster analysis, 13 experts from 6 medical institutions established a framework including 13 EPAs and 10 competencies as well as 50 milestones, leading to the construction of the "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system.Conclusions:The "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system aligns with the trend of reform, demonstrating universality, specificity, and scientificity. It provides a reference for the development and assessment of oncology internship courses in medical universities.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of the endometrial microbiota in patients with varying degrees of intrauterine adhesion (IUA).Methods:This single-center cross-sectional observational study enrolled 115 patients with IUA who were treated at the Hysteroscopic Center of Fuxing Hospital, Capital Medical University, from May 2022 to October 2023. After quality control and data preprocessing, 81 samples met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Patients were grouped according to an established IUA scoring and grading system into mild IUA ( n=38) and moderate-to-severe IUA ( n=43). Endometrial tissue was collected under sterile conditions. Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted, the 16S rRNA V3-V4 region was amplified, and sequencing was performed on an Illumina platform. Differences in endometrial microbiota diversity and composition were compared between the two groups. Results:Patients with varying degrees of IUA exhibited comparable species richness, evenness and diversity of endometrial microbiota. At the phylum level, the endometrial microbiota across all subjects was predominantly composed of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Cyanobacteriota, Bacteroidota, and Actinobacteriota, with Proteobacteria (32.29%) and Firmicutes (23.82%) showing the highest mean relative abundances. At the genus level, Ralstonia (16.67%), Lactobacillus (13.45%), and Streptococcus (7.07%) were the most abundant genera. Group comparisons showed that the abundance of Ralstonia was higher in the mild IUA group, whereas Lactobacillus, Vibrio and Pseudoalteromonas were more abundant in the moderate-to-severe IUA group; however, these differences did not reach statistical significance (all P>0.05). LEfSe analysis further indicated that Lactobacillus, Vibrio, Pseudoalteromonas, Aeromonas, Ureaplasma and Acetobacterium were relatively enriched in the moderate-to-severe IUA group, while Geobacillus, Stomatobaculum and Fusicatenibacter were more abundant in the mild IUA group. Conclusion:The composition of the endometrial microbiota differs among patients with varying IUA severity. IUA progression may be associated with alterations in the endometrial microbiota; however, causal relationships and underlying mechanisms require further investigation.
