Objective:To investigate the relationship of the number and morphological of parathyroid glands on 99Tc m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) SPECT/CT with hungry bone syndrome (HBS) in patients with renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) after parathyroidectomy (PTX). Methods:Eighty renal SHPT patients (46 males, 34 females; age (50.3±11.0) years) who underwent PTX between January 2018 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed in Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Nantong University. The number of parathyroid glands detected on SPECT/CT, diameter of parathyroid gland and its volume were recorded and measured. Patients were divided into HBS group and non-HBS group. Independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare differences of various indicators between those 2 groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors of HBS. Results:HBS group included 45 patients and the rest 35 patients belonged to non-HBS group. Age ( t=-3.61, P=0.001), preoperative alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ( Z=-4.65, P<0.001), preoperative parathyroid hormone ( Z=-2.34, P=0.019) and preoperative serum corrected calcium ( t=-2.71, P=0.008) were all significantly different between HBS group and non-HBS group. Patients with the number of parathyroid glands≥4 detected by SPECT/CT were more in HBS group than those in non-HBS group (82.2%(37/45) vs 51.4%(18/35); χ2=8.87, P=0.003), and the total volume of parathyroid glands (2.56(1.93, 4.44) vs 2.00(1.18, 2.94)cm 3;Z=-2.25, P=0.024) and the maximum diameter of parathyroid glands ((17.71±3.78) vs (15.87±3.91) mm; t=2.14, P=0.036) were significantly different between those 2 groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative ALP (odds ratio ( OR)=1.008, 95% CI: 1.002-1.014, P=0.015), preoperative serum corrected calcium ( OR=0.017, 95% CI: 0.000-0.869, P=0.042) and the number of parathyroid gland≥4 detected by SPECT/CT ( OR=4.156, 95% CI: 1.038-16.642, P=0.044) were independent influencing factors for HBS. The sensitivity of the number of parathyroid glands≥4 detected by SPECT/CT for diagnosing HBS was 82.2%(37/45). Conclusion:The number of parathyroid glands≥4 detected by SPECT/CT is an independent influencing factor for HBS, with high diagnostic sensitivity for HBS, thus having good clinical value.

Nitrogen oxides(NOx=NO+NO2)are important precursors of ozone(O3),and NOx and its oxides together constitute reactive nitrogen oxides(NOy)in the atmosphere.A comprehensive understanding of the total NOy level in the atmosphere is of great significance for a deeper understanding of the atmospheric nitrogen cycle and oxidation,as well as for formulating strategies for air pollution prevention and control.In this work,a thermal decomposition-broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy(TD-BBCEAS)technique for online measurement of total NOy in the atmosphere was developed.With this method,the NOy was efficiently converted into NO2,and the total NOy concentration in the atmosphere was indirectly obtained by measuring NO2.Focusing on the key factors affecting the measurement of total NOy,the influence of NO titration efficiency and other NOy component TD efficiency on measurement accuracy was emphasized.By changing the oxygen(O2)flow rate through the mercury lamp to alter the O3 concentration for titrating NO,the conversion efficiency of NO was evaluated.At O2 flow rate of 6 mL/min,the conversion efficiency of NO was greater than 99%.TD efficiency testing and analysis on NO2,peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN),nitric acid(HNO3),and nitrous acid(HONO),which account for a large proportion of atmospheric NOy components,was carried out using 680℃as the optimal TD temperature for efficient conversion of NOy.With NO and HONO sample gases as typical verification gases,the conversion efficiency of NOy and the accuracy of NOy measurement by TD-BBCEAS system were verified by switching the on and off modes of mercury lamp and TD device.At integration time of 60 s,the detection limit of the system for NOy was 2.83×1010 molecules/cm3(60 s,2σ).A comparative measurement of actual atmospheric NOy was conducted between the TD-BBCEAS system and the NOy analyzer.The observation results showed a correlation coefficient(R2)of 0.98 and a slope of 0.93,further verifying the feasibility and accuracy of applying the TD-BBCEAS system to measurement of total NOy.

To establish a method for detecting Toxoplasma gondii based on recombinant polymerase amplification(RPA)technology and apply it to clinical sample validation of pet cats.Using the 529 repeat sequence of the Toxoplasma gondii gene as the target gene sequence,primers and probes were designed,and the Rep-529 recombinant plasmid was constructed as the standard.A fluorescent RPA reaction system was established.Dilute the plasmid standard 10 times to different concentrations as the detection template for sensitivity testing;Specific testing was conducted using genomic DNA from several parasitic spe-cies,including Toxoplasma gondii,Cryptosporidium,Neosporidium,Trichinella spiralis,Giardia flagellata,Babesia bo-vis and Theileria annulata as templates;Simultaneously,fluorescence RPA and RT-PCR were used to detect 52 positive and 40 negative cats clinical samples,and the coincidence rate of the detection results of the two methods were compared and ana-lyzed.The RPA reaction system was successfully established using PTRep recombinant plasmid as the standard,ToxD-F/ToxD-R as the primer,and RepD-P as the fluorescent probe.The reaction temperature was constant at 39 ℃,the reaction time was 30 minutes,and the detection sensitivity was 1 copy/μL.There is no significant cross reaction with parasites such as Cryptosporidium,Neosporidium,Trichinella spiralis,Giardia,Babesia bovis and Theileria annulata,and the specificity is good.A total of 92 clinical fecal samples from cats were tested,and the positive coincidence rate of fluorescence RPA detection method was higher than that of conventional RT-PCR method(98.08％vs.82.69％),and the difference of the positive rate was not statistically significant(X2=1.392,P＞0.05).The fluorescence RPA detection method for Toxoplasma gondii suc-cessfully established in this study has the characteristics of being fast,sensitive,specific,accurate,and reliable.It can be used as a rapid clinical detection kit for Toxoplasma gondii in cats and other animals,providing new technical support for the subsequent epidemiological monitoring and precise clinical diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in cats,other animals,and humans in the future.

The comparison between traditional Chinese medicine Jinzhen oral liquid (JZOL) and Western medicine in treating children with acute bronchitis (AB) showed encouraging outcomes. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the JZOL for improving cough and expectoration in children with AB. 480 children were randomly assigned to take JZOL or ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution for 7 days. The primary outcome was time-to-cough resolution. The median time-to-cough resolution in both groups was 5.0 days and the antitussive onset median time was only 1 day. This randomized controlled trial showed that JZOL was not inferior to cough suppressant and phlegm resolving western medicine in treating cough and sputum and could comprehensively treat respiratory and systemic discomfort symptoms. Combined with clinical trials, the mechanism of JZOL against AB was uncovered by network target analysis, it was found that the pathways in TRP channels like IL-1β/IL1R/TRPV1/TRPA1, NGF/TrkA/TRPV1/TRPA1, and PGE2/EP/PKA/TRPV1/TRPA1 might play important roles. Animal experiments further confirmed that inflammation and the immune regulatory effect of JZOL in the treatment of AB were of vital importance and TRP channels were the key mechanism of action.
