Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Avian influenza H10N3 is a type of avian influenza virus that can occasionally infect humans and cause severe pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). On December 25, 2024, a 23-year-old obese female patient with H10N3 avian influenza complicated with severe ARDS was admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning. The patient was transferred to our department due to "fever, cough, and shortness of breath for 13 days". Physical examination revealed moist rales in bilateral lungs. Chest imaging showed large areas of ground-glass opacity and consolidation in both lungs. Based on the patient's medical history, clinical manifestations, and laboratory findings, she was diagnosed with human infection of H10N3 avian influenza, severe pneumonia, and severe ARDS. Supported by mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), daily monitoring of airway peak pressure, plateau pressure (Pplat), driving pressure (ΔP), and lung compliance was performed to guide the adjustment of tidal volume (VT) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during invasive mechanical ventilation. Medications including anti-avian influenza virus agents, antibacterial drugs, and antifungals were administered. Eventually, the patient's condition improved gradually, and she was successfully weaned from ECMO. No ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) related to ARDS occurred during ECMO support. However, during the final stage of ventilator weaning after the restoration of spontaneous breathing, a right pneumothorax occurred. Closed thoracic drainage was performed, after which the ventilator was successfully discontinued. The patient was successfully transferred out of the intensive care unit (ICU), recovered fully, and was discharged from the hospital. In the invasive mechanical ventilation management of patients infected with H10N3 avian influenza complicated by ARDS, monitoring airway peak pressure, Pplat, ΔP, and assessing pulmonary compliance may facilitate more standardized management of such ARDS patients and help reduce VILI.

OBJECTIVE: The mode of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission via injection drug use (IDU) still exists, and the recent shift in IDU-related transmission of HIV infection is largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal sources and dynamics of HIV-1 transmission through IDU in Guangxi. METHODS: We performed a molecular epidemiological investigation of infections across Guangxi from 2009 to 2019. Phylogenetic and Bayesian time-geographic analyses of HIV-1 sequences were performed to confirm the characteristics of transmission between IDUs in combination with epidemiological data. RESULTS: Among the 535 subjects, CRF08_BC (57.4%), CRF01_AE (28.4%), and CRF07_BC (10.7%) were the top 3 HIV strains; 72.6% of infections were linked to other provinces in the transmission network; 93.6% of sequence-transmitted strains were locally endemic, with the rest coming from other provinces, predominantly Guangdong and Yunnan; 92.1% of the HIV transmission among people who inject drugs tended to be transmitted between HIV-positive IDUs. CONCLUSION HIV recombinants were high diversity, and circulating local strains were the transmission sources among IDUs in Guangxi. However, there were still cases of IDUs linked to other provinces. Coverage of traditional prevention strategies should be expanded, and inter-provincial collaboration between Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong provinces should be strengthened.

Objective To analyze the genetic subtypes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance in the newly reported HIV-infected men in Guangxi. Methods The stratified random sampling method was employed to select the newly reported HIV-infected men aged≥50 years old in 14 cities of Guangxi from January to June in 2020.The pol gene of HIV-1 was amplified by nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced.The mutation sites associated with drug resistance and the degree of drug resistance were then analyzed. Results A total of 615 HIV-infected men were included in the study.The genetic subtypes of CRF01_AE,CRF07_BC,and CRF08_BC accounted for 57.4% (353/615),17.1% (105/615),and 22.4% (138/615),respectively.The mutations associated with the resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI),non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI),and protease inhibitors occurred in 8 (1.3%),18 (2.9%),and 0 patients,respectively.M184V (0.7%) and K103N (1.8%) were the mutations with the highest occurrence rates for the resistance to NRTIs and NNRTIs,respectively.Twenty-two (3.6%) patients were resistant to at least one type of inhibitors.Specifically,4 (0.7%),14 (2.3%),4 (0.7%),and 0 patients were resistant to NRTIs,NNRTIs,both NRTIs and NNRTIs,and protease inhibitors,respectively.The pretreatment resistance to NNRTIs had much higher frequency than that to NRTIs (2.9% vs.1.3%;χ²=3.929,P=0.047).The prevalence of pretreatment resistance to lamivudine,zidovudine,tenofovir,abacavir,rilpivirine,efavirenz,nevirapine,and lopinavir/ritonavir was 0.8%, 0.3%, 0.7%, 1.0%, 1.3%, 2.8%, 2.9%, and 0, respectively. Conclusions CRF01_AE,CRF07_BC,and CRF08_BC are the three major strains of HIV-infected men≥50 years old newly reported in Guangxi,2020,and the pretreatment drug resistance demonstrates low prevalence.

Acupoint is the initial response site of acupuncture stimulus and also the source link of the effect onset of acupuncture. Acupuncture is a mechanical physical stimulus. How is the mechanical force of acupuncture transduced into neuroelectrical and biochemical signals at acupoint? How does the physiochemical information of acupoint launch acupuncture effect? All of these remain the common and crucial questions in the study of acupuncture effect mechanism. Physical changes are induced in the local tissue of acupoint by needling techniques, such as the deformation and displacement of muscle fibers, which may act on the nerve ending receptors and produce electroneurographic signals. Besides, these changes may activate the mechanosensitive ion channels of the cytomembrane in acupoint site. Through cellular signal transduction, the physical signals may be transformed into chemical ones to trigger the physiochemical coupling response of acupoint microenvironment. Eventually, acupuncture effect is generated via nerves and body fluids. "The mechanical force of acupuncture", through "the physiochemical transduction", promotes the body's perception and transmits acupuncture signals. It suggests that acupoint is the "transducer" in the physiochemical information coupling response of acupuncture.

Objective:To examine the possibility of the differentiation into islet-like cell clusters from the co-culture system of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and islet cells.Methods:Rat BMSCs from the femur and tibia of Wistar rats were isolated and purified taken under aseptic conditions; the surface markers CD 44 and CD 90 expressions of BMSCs were detected by flow cytometry; and alizarin red staining and oil red O staining were used to identify the cells induced in the osteogenic direction and adipogenic direction, respectively. Rat islet cells from the pancreas of Wistar rats were isolated and purified; and dithiazone staining was performed for validation. The basal insulin level of the culture was detected by ELISA method. 5.6mmol/L (low glucose) and 25.0 mmol/L (high glucosa) glucose were added to the culture, respectively, and insulin release was detected by ELISA. 5-generation BMSCs and islet cells were collected and divided randomly into stem cell culture alone group (stem cell group), stem cell-islet co-culture group (co-culture group), and islet culture alone group (islet group). The morphological changes of BMSCs during co-culture were observed using an inverted phase contrast microscope; basal insulin secretion and insulin secretion stimulated by low and high glucose were tested by ELISA. Insulin protein expression in induced islet-like cell masses in co-culture group were detected by immunocytochemical staining. The ultrastructure of islet-like cells was observed by using transmission electron microscopy. Results:The positive rates of CD 44 and CD 90 were 99.48% and 99.50%, respectively; BMSCs were induced the formation of multiple calcium nodules outside the differentiation cells in the osteogenic direction, and many lipid droplets in the cytoplasm of differentiated cells in the adipogenic direction. Dithiazone staining showed that β cells in pancreatic islet were brown red and about 450 islets could be obtained per pancreas with a mean purity up to 80%. The insulin release in the low sugar group and the high sugar group were (7.105±1.551) mIU/ml and (20.231±1.592) mIU/ml, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). It can be seen that local stem cells began to gather and grow upward into small clumps in the budding manner until finally forming a spherical islet-like cell cluster structure after 7 days of culture in the co-culture group. The basal insulin secretion in the stem cell group was <0.5 mIU/L. In the islet group, insulin secretion peaked on the 5th day and then gradually decreased to about 20% of the highest value on the 13th day. The insulin level of the co-culture group peaked on the 5th day, and the 13th day remained at about 40% of the peak level. There were statistically significant differences on basal insulin secretion on the 8th, 10th and 13th day between islet group and co-culture group (all P value >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the insulin release by islet in islet group under the stimulation of low and high sugar and that by islet-like cell cluster in co-culture group. There were a large number of brownish-yellow granules in the islet-like cell clusters after the co-culture for 14 days; and there were more secretory granules and coarse endoplasmic reticulum in the ultrastructure, showing more active protein secretion functions. Conclusions:The co-culture system of BMSCs and islet cells could induce BMSCs into differentiating into islet-like cell clusters, which can express insulin protein and had relatively mature function of insulin secretion.

"Early clinical practice, multiple clinical practice and repeated clinical practice" is the mainstream of the reform of higher medical education in the 21st century. Based on the shortages of the current medical education model, a university started to reform from both theoretical teaching and practical teaching, and constructed a teaching model of "early clinical practice, multiple clinical practice and repeated clinical practice" that fits China's reality. And the teaching effect was evaluated questionnaire survey and OSCE tests. The results showed that this teaching model could promote the all-round development of medical students' knowledge, ability and quality.
