Objective: To explore the changes of mechanosensitive channels Piezos (Piezo 1 and Piezo 2) in neurogenic bladder (NB) of young rats and their effects，so as to provide reference for clinical search of new therapeutic targets. Methods: A total of 30 female young SD rats were divided into 5 groups based on random number table method：sham operation group (sham)，2-week nerve transection group (NB-2W)，6-week nerve transection group (NB-6W)，2-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-2W) and 6-week nerve transection + Piezos inhibitor group (NB-P-6W)，with 6 rats in each group.The NB models were constructed by transecting the L6 and S1 spinal nerves of young rats.The NB-2W and NB-6W groups were not intervened after modeling，while the NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups were intraperitoneally injected with Piezos inhibitor GsMTx4 (10 mg/kg) every 2 days after modeling.Bladder cystometry and ultrasound were performed after 2 and 6 weeks of transection.The expressions of Piezos and fibrosis-related indexes (Collagen Ⅰ and α-smooth muscle actin) were detected in bladder tissues. Results: The results of bladder cystometry showed that the basal bladder pressure in NB-2W group was significantly increased，while it was slightly decreased but was still higher in NB-6W group than in the sham group (P<0.05).Basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-2W group than in NB-2W group，but was higher than that in the sham group; basal bladder pressure was lower in NB-P-6W group than in NB-6W group，but higher than that in the sham group (P<0.05).Compared with the sham group，the NB-2W and NB-6W groups had firstly increased and then decreased maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-2W group，NB-P-2W group had lower bladder leakage point pressure (BLPP)，but higher MCC and bladder compliance (BC) (P<0.05).Compared with NB-6W group，NB-P-6W group had significantly lower BLPP but higher MCC and BC (P<0.05).HE and MASSON staining and ultrasound results showed that，with the extension of nerve transection time，bladder fibrosis gradually worsened，the bladder wall became rough and thickened，calculi were visible inside，and hydronephrosis gradually appeared; the degree of fibrosis in NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups was less than that in NB-2W and NB-6W groups，and no hydronephrosis was observed in the upper urinary tract.In addition，Western blotting and immunohistochemical results showed that NB-2W and NB-6W groups had significantly higher relative expression levels of Piezos，Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than the sham group (P<0.01)，while NB-P-2W and NB-P-6W groups had lower relative expression levels of Piezos,Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA than NB-2W and NB-6W groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: The increased expressions of mechanosensitive channels Piezos in NB young rats may be involved in the progression of bladder fibrosis，but its mechanism needs further study.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of antibiotic-eluting absorbable calcium sulfate in treating periprosthetic infection after one-stage revision of knee arthroplasty. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 36 patients(36 knees)who underwent phaseⅠrevision for periprosthesis infection after total knee arthroplasty from January 2018 to March 2022. All patients were underwent knee cavity puncture before operation and had positive results of aseptic body fluid culture, 21 patients received revision combined with antibiotic loaded calcium sulfate at stageⅠ(calcium sulfate group) during operation, and 15 patients underwent renovation at stageⅠ(revision group). There were 9 males and 12 females in calcium sulfate group, aged from 54 to 76 years old with an average of(67.6±6.2) years old. There were 15 patients in revision group, including 4 males and 11 females, aged from 60 to 75 years old with average of (69.6±4.1) years old. The levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) at 7, 14, 30 and 90 days after operation were compared between two groups, and the rate of end-infection control at follow-up were compared. The systemic antibiotic application time, hospital stay and postoperative complications were observed between two groups. RESULTS: Calcium sulfate group were followed up for 12 to 29 months with an average of(18.9±4.2) months, and the infection control rate was 90.5%;while revision group were followed up 18 to 29 months with average of (21.6±3.7) months, and the infection control rate was 86.7% (13/15). There were no significant differences in follow-up time and infection control rate between two groups(P>0.05). Postoperative levels of CRP and IL-6 at 7, 14 and 30 days in calcium sulfate group were (32.79±11.48), (15.50±6.52), (9.36±3.32) mg·L^-1 and (17.31±6.15) pg·ml^-1, respectively;which were lower than those in revision group (40.65±11.32), (30.15±10.57), (18.97±5.86) mg·L^-1 and (25.54±6.73) pg·ml^-1, had statistical differences(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in IL-6 levels at 7 and 14 days after operation and CRP levels at 90 days after operation between two groups (P>0.05). The hospitalization time and systemic antibiotic application time in calcium sulfate group were (18.4±2.2) and (63.5±21.4) d, respectively;which were better than those in revision group (20.5±2.4) and (82.7±16.9) d, and had statistical differences(P<0.05). No significant wound complications and hypercalcemia were observed in calcium sulfate group. CONCLUSION Antibiotic eluted absorbable calcium sulfate could be used to treat periprosthetic knee infection, significantly reducing CRP levels in the early postoperative period, shortening hospital stay and systemic antibiotic application time, but it does not significantly improve the control rate of revision infection at stageⅠ.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravesical injections of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) for the treatment of pediatric refractory urinary frequency and incontinence (UFI), and to analyze the factors predicting the therapeutic effect of BTX-A injections.Methods:A retrospective case series study was made on 35 children with UFI [(12.3±4.2) years old], including 13 males (37.1%) and 22 females (62.9%), treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to March 2024.Urotherapy and drug treatments were ineffective in all children, who then received intravesical injections of BTX-A.The urodynamic study (UDS) was performed 1 week before treatment and 3 months after treatment, and the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) and Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) were collected.Perioperative and postoperative adverse events were also recorded.A global response assessment (GRA) score of ≥2 at 3 months postoperatively was defined as effective treatment.According to the postoperative GRA score, the patients were divided into effective and ineffective groups to explore the predictive factors affecting the outcome of BTX-A treatment, such as age, gender, preoperative urodynamic parameters, and the types of urinary incontinence. t-test was used to compare quantitative data such as age, UDS parameters, OABSS, and I-QOL scores.The comparison of count data such as gender and urinary incontinence types was conducted using Fisher′s exact test. Results:The bladder compliance, bladder capacity ratio, OABSS and I-QOL scores of patients significantly improved after BTX-A injection (all P<0.05).The 77.1% (27/35) of the patients were satisfied with BTX-A treatment effects.The main adverse event during the follow-up was a temporary increase in postvoid residual urine after injecting BTX-A (7 cases), which was alleviated by the Creade action or clean intermittent catheterization.There was significant difference in age [(13.00±4.32) years vs.(10.00±2.67) years] and preoperative bladder compliance [(11.21±5.74) mL/cmH 2O vs.(5.13±2.42) mL/cmH 2O] between effective (27 cases) and ineffective groups (8 cases) ( t=2.383, 2.899, all P<0.05).The differences in preoperative bladder capacity ratio, maximum filling detrusor pressure, postvoid residual urine, voiding efficiency, gender, and the types of urinary incontinence were not statistically significant between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Intravesical injection of BTX-A is a safe and effective treatment for children with refractory UFI.A young age and poor bladder compliance at treatment are associated with poor prognosis of BTX-A treatment.

Lumbar disc (LD) herniation and aging are prevalent conditions that can result in substantial morbidity. This study aimed to clarify the mechanisms connecting the LD aging and herniation, particularly focusing on cellular senescence and molecular alterations in the nucleus pulposus (NP). We performed a detailed analysis of NP samples from a diverse cohort, including individuals of varying ages and those with diagnosed LD herniation. Our methodology combined histological assessments with single-nucleus RNA sequencing to identify phenotypic and molecular changes related to NP aging and herniation. We discovered that cellular senescence and a decrease in nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) are central to both processes. Additionally, we found an age-related increase in NFAT1 expression that promotes NPPC senescence and contributes to both aging and herniation of LD. This research offers fresh insights into LD aging and its associated pathologies, potentially guiding the development of new therapeutic strategies to target the root causes of LD herniation and aging.

Objective:To construct an infectious clone of a Chinese HIV-1 CRF01_AE epidemic strain with strong replication capacity，and comprehensively identify its viral phenotype and replication capacity.Methods:Using the CRF01_AE clinical isolate GX2005002，which was previously isolated from whole blood of an HIV-1-infected individual in China by our laboratory，as the parental strain，the full-length genome of the virus（9.7 kb）was divided into 5' half fragment（5.1 kb）and 3' half fragment（4.6 kb）for amplification. The proviral DNA was used as a template to amplify the virus genome，which was then ligated into the eukaryotic expression vector pEASY-T1. The consistency of its sequence with the parental strain sequence was identified through full-length genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The replication capacity，syncytium inducibility，and cell tropism were experimentally identified to determine its phenotypic consistency with the parental strain.Results:An infectious clone of the CRF01_AE strain was successfully constructed，and its genome sequence exhibited high consistency with the sequence of the parental strain. By transfecting target cells，a derivative virus with infectious activity and replication capability was successfully rescued. The derived virus maintained phenotypic characteristics consistent with the parental strain，such as cell tropism and syncytium inducibility.Conclusion:This study successfully constructed an infectious clone of a Chinese HIV-1 CRF01_AE epidemic strain with clear background and distinct phenotype. The genomic sequence and viral phenotypic characteristics of the derived virus are basically consistent with the parental strain，providing strong representation of the original isolate and serving as a powerful tool for research on the correlation between the genetic characteristics，viral phenotype，and pathogenicity of HIV-1 CRF01_AE strains.

Objective:To explore the clinical phenotypes and hematological characteristics of β-thalassemia combined with α-globin gene triplet.Methods:A retrospective case analysis study was conducted, taking individuals diagnosed with thalassemia who sought for outpatient services in No 1 people′s hospital of Chenzhou affiliated to South China University from August 10, 2021, to December 31, 2023 as study objectives. Among them, there were 8 768 males and 11 707 females, aged 31.5 (23.0, 46.0) years old. Blood analysis were analyzed by hematology analyze.The hemoglobin(Hb) Hb A, HbA 2,Hb F bands were analyzed by Capillary electrophoresis method, and the genotypes of thalassemia were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing technology.Hematological parameters between different genotypes of thalassemia were analyzed using t-tests and calibrated t-tests for data analysis. Results:A total of 27 cases of beta thalassemia combined with alpha globin triplet were detected, The average hemoglobin (Hb) of 11 cases of β Codon41/42 (-CTTT)/β N combined with ααα anti 4.2 (3.7) (92±16)g/L was lower than that of β Codon41/42 (-CTTT)/β N(112±11)g/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.97, P0.05). The average Hb of 8 cases of β IVS-Ⅱ-654 (CT)/β N combined with ααα anti 4.2 (3.7)(85±21) g/L was lower than that of β IVS-Ⅱ-654 (CT)/β N(116±12) g/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.05, P0.05). Conclusion:When the mutation site is at Codon41/42 (-CTTT) or IVS-Ⅱ-654 (CT), β-thalassemia combined with alpha globin triplet can make the clinical manifestations of β-thalassemia at this site more pronounced.

Objective To analyze the etiological characteristics of pediatric bacterial meningitis(BM)and change of biochemical indicators in cerebrospinal fluid,and establish a diagnostic model for pathogen differentiation based on biochemical indicators in cerebrospinal fluid.Methods Eighty children with BM in the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected as BM group,and their pathogen distribution as well as cytological and biochemi-cal indicators in cerebrospinal fluid were analyzed.Forty non-central nervous system infections chil-dren with cytological and biochemical testing in cerebrospinal fluid in the same period were included as control group.The relationships between indicators in cerebrospinal fluid and pathogen types in BM children were analyzed,and a diagnostic model was constructed.Results A total of 85 pathogens were detected in 80 BM children,including 48 Gram-negative bacteria(56.47％)and 37 Gram-pos-itive bacteria(43.53％).The BM group showed significantly higher white blood cell count and lym-phocyte percentages,lower neutrophil and monocyte percentages,lower glucose and chloride levels in cerebrospinal fluid,and higher protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid when compared to the control group(P＜0.05).Among BM children,those infected with Gram-negative bacteria had significantly higher white blood cell count and lymphocyte percentages,as well as lower glucose and chloride levels in cerebrospinal fluid when compared to those with Gram-positive bacterial infections(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis revealed that white blood cell count,lymphocyte percentage,glucose,and chloride levels in cerebrospinal fluid were significantly associated with pathogen types(P＜0.05).A diagnostic model based on these factors demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve of 0.925 for distinguishing Gram-positive and Gram-negative infections,with a cutoff value of 0.754,asensitivity of 76.25％,and aspecificity of 98.33％.Conclusion The primary pathogens of pediatric BM include Acinetobacter baumannii,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,coagulase-negative Staphylococcus,Staphylococcus aureus,and Streptococcus pneumoni-a,accompanied by elevated white blood cell count and lymphocyte percentages as well as reduced glucose and chloride levels in cerebrospinal fluid,which is helpful in differentiating Gram-positive from Gram-negative infections and guiding antibiotic therapy.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum soluble lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(sLOX-1)and chitinase-3-like protein 1(CHI3L1)for in-stent restenosis(ISR)in pa-tients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and myocardial bridge after anterior descending stent implantation.Methods A total of 80 patients with CHD and myocardial bridge who underwent anterior descending stent implantation in a hospital from May 2018 to May 2023 were included as the disease group.They were followed up for one year after surgery and separated into ISR group(n=31)and non ISR group(n=49)based on whether ISR occurred on coronary angiography examination.Another 80 CHD patients who received treatment in a hospital were selected as the control group.The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 were detected by en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge,and to analyze the predictive value of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 for the occurrence of ISR after anterior de-scending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in the disease group increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in the ISR group were high-er than those in the non-ISR group,and the distance of the myocardial bridge proximal to the stent was lower than that in the non-ISR group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Serum sLOX-1,CHI3L1,and the distance of the myocardial bridge proximal to the stent were the influencing factors for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardi-al bridge(P<0.05).The area under the curve of the combined prediction of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD complicated with my-ocardial bridge was superior to their individual predictions(Zcombination-sLOX-1=2.502,Zcombination-CHI3L1=2.028,P=0.012,0.043).Conclusion The levels of serum sLOX-1 and CHI3L1 in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge are significantly increased.The combined detection of the two has certain predictive value for the occurrence of ISR after anterior descending stent implantation in patients with CHD combined with myocardial bridge.
