Immunohistochemical （IHC） results showed PD-1 protein expression in S180 sarcoma. Micro-PET/CT imaging successfully visualized the PD-1 protein receptor in S180 sarcoma at different time points （20， 48， 72， and 120 h） after probe injection. ConclusionThe ¹²⁴I-anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody molecular probe successfully targets the PD-1 receptor in S180 sarcoma of transgenic PD-1 C57 mice， and presents clear Micro-PET/CT immunoassay results， thus it potentially enables the non-invasive screening of patients with PD-1 positive malignant tumors.

Objective: To explore intraoral scanning strategies for elastic impressions during the fabrication process of duplicate complete dentures and to investigate the accuracy of 3D scanning strategies on the surface of complete dentures. The goal is to utilize digital technology to improve the traditional fabrication methods of duplicate complete dentures. Methods: Eight sets of replicated denture model for edentulous patients were selected. Conventional complete dentures were created based on these models. The condition of the patient’s alveolar bone atrophy was simulated on these models, and elastic impressions were built using complete dentures as individual trays with polyether silicone rubber materials. TRIOS 3 intraoral scanners were used to scan the elastic impressions according to four scanning strategies (A: tissue surface - artificial teeth - polished surface of denture; B: artificial teeth - polished surface of denture - tissue surface; C: tissue surface - artificial teeth - polished surface of denture in powder spraying state; D: artificial teeth - polished surface - tissue surface in powder spraying state). The 3D data obtained by the desktop scanner were used as the reference. The maximum deviation, average deviation, and standard deviation of the 3D data models obtained by different scanning strategies were compared using the Geomagic Control X software. For the complete denture, the maximum deviation was 0.3 mm. The obtained results were analyzed by PASW Statistics 18 software. Results: The maximum deviation value of the maxillary scans in the 3D data compared with the desktop scanning data was (0.188 ± 0.109) mm, and that of the mandibular scans was (0.200 ± 0.099) mm. There was no statistically significant difference between them (t = 0.139, P = 0.624). However, the maximum deviation values of both the maxillary and mandibular scans were lower than the required maximum error (0.3 mm) for complete dentures in clinical practice, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The average deviations of the maxillary and mandibular models were (0.024 ± 0.212) mm and (0.014 ± 0.014) mm, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (t = 4.228, P = 0.021). The standard deviations of the maxillary and mandibular models were (0.074 ± 0.032) mm and (0.074 ± 0.034) mm, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between them (t = 0.813, P = 0.371). There were no statistically significant differences in the average deviations and standard deviations of each scanning strategy between the maxillary and mandibular impressions within and between groups. Comparing the deviation between the tissue surface and the polished surface of the 3D data of the upper and lower jaws on the oral scanner and the desktop scanner shows that the areas with larger deviations in the maxillary impressions were mainly concentrated in the maxillary tuberosity and palatal vault regions, and those in the mandibular impressions were mainly concentrated in the molar posterior pad region. Conclusion The digital impressions formed by intraoral scanning the maxillary and mandibular elastic impressions can meet the requirements for clinical fabrication of complete dentures. However, in clinical practice, special attention should be paid to checking and adjusting the fit of the maxillary tuberosity and palatal vault and the mandibular molar posterior pad areas of the complete dentures.

Objective: To analyze the mediating effect of social support between family resilience and quality of life among elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), so as to provide the basis for improving the quality of life among elderly patients with AD. Methods: Elderly patients with AD who aged >60 years admitted to Wenzhou Seventh People's Hospital from August 2017 to June 2021 were selected. Data on demographic information, the severity of AD, and the profile of the primary caregivers were collected through questionnaire surveys. Social support, family resilience, and quality of life were assessed using the Social Support Rating Scale, the Shortened Chinese Version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, and the Chinese Version of the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease Scale, respectively. The Process macro program was used to analyze the mediating effect of social support between family resilience and quality of life. Results: A total of 137 elderly patients with AD were surveyed. The mean age of the participants was (69.26±10.93) years. Among them, there were 63 males (45.99%) and 74 females (54.01%). The mean scores for social support, family resilience, and quality of life were (27.93±4.28), (97.34±10.06), and (27.82±7.27) points, respectively. The results of the mediating effect analysis indicated that family resilience could directly and positively affect the quality of life, with an effect value of 0.319 (95%CI: 0.122-0.491). It could also indirectly and positively affect the quality of life through social support, with an effect value of 0.118 (95%CI: 0.030-0.248). The mediating effect accounted for 26.42% of the total effect. Conclusion Social support plays a positive mediating role between family resilience and quality of life among elderly patients with AD.

Objective To analyze the causes of HIV-2 specific bands in the Western blot (WB) tests and to understand previous HIV-2 infection status in this city. Methods A total of 68 samples with HIV-2 specific bands in WB were analyzed using two confirmatory reagents. The test results were further analyzed in combination with epidemiological data, nucleic acid testing and gene sequencing. Results When tested with MP reagent, 66 samples (97.06%) were found to be positive for HIV-2 antibody, while the other two were negative or undetermined for HIV-2 antibody. When tested with MIKROGEN reagent, 67 samples (98.53%) were found to be positive for HIV-1 antibody, and one sample was negative for HIV-1 antibody. Further HIV-1 nucleic acid testing was conducted on these samples, and all 68 samples tested positive for HIV-1 RNA, with the results all exceeding 5,000 copies/ml. After BLAST comparison, it was found that the homology similarity of 68 samples to the HIV-1 reference strain sequence was >90%, but there was no similarity with the HIV-2 reference strain sequence. Conclusion The results of the serological test, nucleic acid test and gene sequencing of the 68 samples all have indicated HIV-1 infection. Combined with the epidemiological data, it can be concluded that the double reaction of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in WB tests of these 68 samples is very likely to be a non-specific cross-reaction rather than HIV-2 infection. This study indicates that no HIV-2 infection cases have been found in Chengdu so far.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Shufeng Jiedu capsules （SFJD） in alleviating influenza A （H1N1） virus pneumonia and focus on its effect on Toll-like receptor （TLR） signaling pathway in respiratory epithelial cells. MethodsA mouse model of viral pneumonia was established via the A/PR/8/34 （PR8） strain of influenza A virus. Mice were randomly divided into a normal group， a PR8 infection （PR8） group， and an SFJD group （8.4 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in each group. The day of infection was designated as day 1. The SFJD group was administered intragastrically at a volume of 20 mL·kg^-1 daily， while the normal and PR8 groups were given an equal volume of deionized water. Micro-computed tomography （Micro-CT） was performed on day 5， and the mice were dissected to collect their lungs， after which the lung index was calculated to verify the therapeutic effect of SFJD. Single-cell sequencing was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in respiratory epithelial cells. Multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of TLR， tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 （TRAF6）， and myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88） proteins in epithelial cell adhesion molecule （EpCAM）-positive cells， and the proportion of respiratory epithelial cells expressing TLR pathway proteins was calculated. Respiratory epithelial cells were then sorted by flow cytometry， and Western blot was used to detect the expression of TLR， MyD88， TRAF6， Toll-interleukin receptor domain-containing adaptor inducing interferon-β （TRIF）， inhibitor of κB kinase α （IKKα）， and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） in the sorted epithelial cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in lung tissue. ResultsAt the transcriptional level， SFJD reversed the expression of TLR signaling pathway genes in respiratory epithelial cells， downregulating multiple TLR signaling pathway-related genes （P<0.01）. At the protein level， SFJD significantly reduced the proportion of respiratory epithelial cells expressing TLR3 （P<0.05）， the expression levels of TLR2， TLR3， TLR4， TRIF， TRAF6， IKKα， and NF-κB in epithelial cells（P<0.05， P<0.01）， as well as the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in lung tissue （P<0.01）. ConclusionSFJD may alleviate viral pneumonia by suppressing the expression of TLR in respiratory epithelial cells and their subsequent signaling cascades.

Objective To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture at Neiguan(PC6)combined with Buyang Huanwu Decoction on myocardial edema-related proteins and its cardioprotective role in mice with acute high-altitude hypoxic myocardial injury,and to explore the potential mechanisms by which this combined therapy ameliorates acute hypoxic myocardial damage.Methods Mice were randomly divided into control,hypoxia model,electroacupuncture at Neiguan,Buyang Huanwu Decoction,and electroacupuncture at Neiguan+Buyang Huanwu Decoction groups.Except for the normal control group,all other groups were subjected to the establishment of an acute high-altitude hypoxia-induced myocardial injury model.Four days before entering the low-pressure hypoxia animal simulation chamber,the electroacupuncture at Neiguan group was treated with bilateral electroacupuncture at Neiguan,the Buyang Huanwu Decoction group was treated with Buyang Huanwu Decoction by gavage,and the electroacupuncture at Neiguan+Buyang Huanwu Decoction group was treated with a combination of electroacupuncture at Neiguan and Buyang Huanwu Decoction.The intervention lasted for 7 days.The normal control group and the hypoxia model group were handled normally without any other treatment.Myocardial pathology and ultrastructure were evaluated using HE staining and transmission electron microscopy.Serum levels of creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB)and cardiac troponin I(cTn-I)were measured by ELISA.Western blot was performed to quantify β1-AR,cAMP,PKA,and AQP1 protein expression.Results Compared with normal control group,the hypoxia model group exhibited significant myocardial damage,elevated cardiac biomarkers,and upregulated β1-AR/cAMP/PKA pathway proteins with increased AQP1 expression(all P<0.01).The electroacupuncture at Neiguan+Buyang Huanwu Decoction group demonstrated attenuated myocardial injury,reduced biomarker levels,and downregulated target proteins(all P<0.01)versus the hypoxia model group.Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Neiguan combined with Buyang Huanwu Decoction alleviates myocardial edema and injury in acute hypobaric hypoxia by reducing vascular permeability,potentially via suppression of the β1-AR/cAMP/PKA pathway and subsequent inhibition of AQP1 expression.

ObjectiveBy exploring the influencing factors of readmission in patients with stable angina of coronary heart disease （CHD） based on real-world clinical data， to establish a risk prediction model of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine， in order to provide a basis for early identification of high-risk populations and reducing readmission rates. MethodsA prospective clinical study was conducted involving patients with stable angina pectoris of CHD， who were divided into a training set and a validation set at a 7∶3 ratio. General information， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）-related data， and laboratory test results were uniformly collected. After a one-year follow-up， patients were classified into a readmission group and a non-readmission group based on whether they were readmitted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for readmission. A risk prediction model of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine was constructed and visualized using a nomogram. The model was validated and evaluated in terms of discrimination， calibration， and clinical decision curve analysis. ResultsA total of 682 patients were included， with 477 in the training set and 205 in the validation set， among whom 89 patients were readmitted. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified heart failure history ［OR = 6.93， 95% CI （1.58， 30.45）］， wiry pulse ［OR = 2.58， 95% CI （1.42， 4.72）］， weak pulse ［OR = 3.97， 95% CI （2.06， 7.67）］， teeth-marked tongue ［OR = 4.38， 95% CI （2.32， 8.27）］， blood stasis constitution ［OR = 2.17， 95% CI （1.06， 4.44）］， phlegm-stasis mutual syndrome ［OR = 3.64， 95% CI （1.87， 7.09）］， and elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ［OR = 1.30， 95% CI （1.01， 1.69）］ as influencing factors of readmission. These factors were used as predictors to construct a nomogram-based risk prediction model for readmission in patients with stable angina. The model demonstrated moderate predictive capability， with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） of 0.818 ［95% CI （0.781， 0.852）］ in the training set and 0.816 ［95% CI （0.779， 0.850）］ in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration （χ² = 4.55， P = 0.80）， and the model's predictive ability was stable. When the threshold probability exceeded 5%， the clinical net benefit of using the model to predict readmission risk was significantly higher than intervening in all patients. ConclusionHistory of heart failure， teeth-marked tongue， weak pulse， wiry pulse， phlegm-stasis mutual syndrome， blood stasis constitution， and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are influencing factors for readmission in patients with stable angina of CHD. A clinical prediction model was developed based on these factors， which showed good discrimination， calibration， and clinical utility， providing a scientific basis for predicting readmission events in patients with stable angina.
