Outbreaks of zoonotic emerging infectious diseases have posed serious threats to human health and social development. The experience of epidemic prevention and control highlights the importance of the One Health concept in the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases. Sanitary microbiology studies the ecological relationship between environmental microorganisms and humans, detection techniques, and preventive strategies. Its research scope overlaps and is closely related to that of emerging infectious disease prevention and control guided by the One Health concept. Vigorously promoting the research and teaching reform of sanitary microbiology in universities can provide key technologies and high-tech talents for One Health practices, promote development of new strategies for the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases, and enhance the ability to respond to biosafety crises.

Objective:To examine the clinical features and genetic profiles of patients with thyroid peroxidase(TPO) gene mutations and provide diagnostic guidance for clinicians.Methods:A retrospective review of four patients with TPO mutations treated at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from January 2014 to December 2023. Data on demographics, clinical manifestation, genotypes, treatment, and prognosis of these patients were analyzed.Results:Two males and two females, aged 13 to 27 years at diagnosis, presented with goiter as the initial symptom, with three cases menifesting during puberty. Laboratory findings showed mildly elevated or upper-limit-normal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) levels, significantly increased free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine(FT 3/FT 4) ratios, and elevated thyroglobulin(TG) levels. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic or likely pathogenic TPO mutations. Despite regular levothyroxine(L-T 4) therapy, goiter persisted. Three patients required thyroidectomy due to cosmetic or compressive symptoms, with pathology showing follicular hyperplasia. Conclusion:TPO mutations are characterized by adolescent-onset goiter, elevated FT 3/FT 4 ratios, and normal to high TSH. Genetic testing confirms the diagnosis. L-T 4 offers limited improvement, and surgery is often needed.

Objective To investigate the difference of facial soft tissue changes in patients with different vertical bone facial types after orthodontic treatment.Methods A total of 137 female patients with class Ⅱ malocclusion aged 18 to 30 years old were selected for retrospective analysis using facial soft tissue 3D model data.According to the mandibular plane angle(FH-MP)angle,they were divided into high angle group,average angle group and low angle group.The EinScan Pro 2X 2020 handheld high-precision 3D scanner was used to capture facial soft tissue images of patients before treatment(T0)and at 6 months during treatment(T1)and after treatment(T2).The patients'facial images were overlapped using reverse engineering software Geomagic Wrap 2021,and the differ-ences within and between groups were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software.Results Before and after orthodontic treatment,the average overall facial changes in the high angle group were(-3.25±0.22)mm,in the average angle group was(-3.28±0.30)mm,and in the average low angle group was(-3.69±0.36)mm.Compared with the other two groups,the changes in the low angle group decreased more,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The mandibular angle area and temporal area decreased the most in the low angle group,which were(-2.78±0.18)mm and(-2.27±0.35)mm,respectively,and the differ-ence was statistically significant compared with the other two groups(P＜0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference among the other groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The whole face and all facial regions of the three groups had some negative changes,but the collapse in the mandibular angle area and the temporal muscle ar-ea of the low angle group was more obvious than that of the other two groups.

BACKGROUND: Previous research demonstrated that a homozygous mutation of g.136372044G>A (S12N) in caspase recruitment domain family member 9 ( CARD9 ) is critical for producing Aspergillus fumigatus -induced ( Af -induced) T helper 2 (T H 2)-mediated responses in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). However, it remains unclear whether the CARD9S12N mutation, especially the heterozygous occurrence, predisposes the host to ABPA. METHODS: A total of 61 ABPA patients and 264 controls (including 156 healthy controls and 108 asthma patients) were recruited for sequencing the CARD9 locus to clarify whether patients with this heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphisms are predisposed to the development of ABPA. A series of in vivo and in vitro experiments, such as quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and RNA isolation and quantification, were used to illuminate the involved mechanism of the disease. RESULTS: The presence of the p.S12N mutation was associated with a significant risk of ABPA in ABPA patients when compared with healthy controls and asthma patients, regardless of Aspergillus sensitivity. Relative to healthy controls without relevant allergies, the mutation of p.S12N was associated with a significant risk of ABPA (OR: 2.69 and 4.17 for GA and AA genotypes, P = 0.003 and 0.029, respectively). Compared with patients with asthma, ABPA patients had a significantly higher heterozygous mutation (GA genotype), indicating that p.S12N might be a significant ABPA-susceptibility locus ( aspergillus sensitized asthma: OR: 3.02, P = 0.009; aspergillus unsensitized asthma: OR: 2.94, P = 0.005). The mutant allele was preferentially expressed in ABPA patients with heterozygous CARD9S12N , which contributes to its functional alterations to facilitate Af -induced T H 2-mediated ABPA development. In terms of mechanism, Card9 wild-type ( Card9WT ) expression levels decreased significantly due to Af -induced decay of its messenger RNA compared to the heterozygous Card9S12N . In addition, ABPA patients with heterozygous CARD9S12N had increased Af -induced interleukin-5 production. CONCLUSION Our study provides the genetic evidence showing that the heterozygous mutation of CARD9S12N , followed by allele expression imbalance of CARD9S12N , facilitates the development of ABPA.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is one of the most lethal malignancies. Although gemcitabine (GEM) is a standard treatment for PAAD, resistance limits its application and therapy. Secoemestrin C (Sec C) is a natural compound from the endophytic fungus Emericella, and its anticancer activity has not been investigated since it was isolated. Our research is the first to indicate that Sec C is a broad-spectrum anticancer agent and could exhibit potently similar anticancer activity both in GEM-resistant and GEM-sensitive PAAD cells. Interestingly, Sec C exerted a rapid growth-inhibiting effect (80% death at 6 h), which might be beneficial for patients who need rapid tumor shrinkage before surgery. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) reverse assays show that Sec C sulfates cysteines to disrupt disulfide-bonds formation in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins to cause protein misfolding, leading to ER stress and disorder of lipid biosynthesis. Microarray data and subsequent assays show that ER stress-mediated ER-associated degradation (ERAD) ubiquitinates and downregulates YAP to enhance ER stress via destruction complex (YAP-Axin-GSK-βTrCP), which also elucidates a unique degrading style for YAP. Potent anticancer activity in GEM-resistant cells and low toxicity make Sec C a promising anti-PAAD candidate.
