Objective To determine the effect of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C)on all-cause and cause-specific mortality in an ≥60-year-old elderly population.Methods A total of 16 642 older adults(≥60 years)were subjected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2018.According to the tertile of non-HDL-C level,the par-ticipants were divided into tertile 1(＜3.15 mmol/L,n=5499),tertile 2(3.15-4.06 mmol/L,n=5499),and tertile 3 groups(＞4.06 mmol/L,n=5644).The occurrences of all-cause,cardiovascu-lar,and non-cardiovascular death were identified as the study endpoint.Cox proportional hazards regression,Kaplan-Meier survival and restricted cubic spline curve analyses were applied for sta-tistical study.Results An obvious L-shaped associations were observed in non-HDL-C level with risks for all-cause,cardiovascular,and non-cardiovascular death.After adjusting multivariable,the tertile 1 group had significantly higher risks for all-cause,cardiovascular,and non-cardiovascular death than the tertile 2 group(HR=1.123,95％CI:1.054-1.200,P=0.000;HR=1.142,95％CI:1.024-1.292,P=0.027;HR=1.113,95％CI:1.033-1.210,P=0.011).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the tertile 1 group had notably lower survival rate than the tertile 2 group and the tertile 3 group(P＜0.01).Threshold effect analysis revealed that when non-HDL-C level was lower than 3.36,3.18 and 3.59 mmol/L,respectively,the risk of all-cause,cardiovascular,and noncardiovascular mortality was increased.Conclusion In the elderly ≥60-year-old population,non-HDL-C level exhibited a L-shaped association with all-cause and cause-specific mortality,and＞3.18 mmol/L is regarded as a rational range.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Trichinella spiralis zinc metalloproteinase NAS-36 gene(TsNas36)is a member of the zinc metalloproteinase family found in excretory secretory products(ESP)of T.spiralis.In this study,TsNas36 gene was cloned and expressed,and its biological characteristics and temporal and spatial characteristics were identified.These results provide a theoretical and material basis for ex-ploring the biological function of TsNas36 gene.Bioinformatics analysis showed that TsNas36 was 470 amino acids(AA)in length with a molecular weight of about 54.69 kDa,no transmembrane region,and contained a signal peptide(1-20 AA),an Astacins domain(116-320 AA)and a CUB domain(355-470 AA).There were five active site residues located at amino acids 216(His),217(Glu),220(His),226(His)and 275(Tyr).The expression plasmid pET-28a(+)/TsNas36 was constructed and induced to express in E.coli BL21(DE3)to obtain the recombinant protein rTs-Nas36.The recombinant protein was used to immunize rabbits to obtain anti-rTsNas36 polyclonal antibody serum.Indirect ELISA results showed that the antibody titer reached 1∶105.qRT-PCR and Western blot results showed that the transcription levels of TsNas36 were significantly higher in newborn larvae(NBL)than in adult worm(AW)and muscle larva(ML)stages.Immunofluo-rescence results showed that TsNas36 was only localized in the epidermis of NBL.In summary,this study characterized the biological characteristics of the TsNas36 gene and found that this gene is highly period-specific and may be involved in the unique developmental process of NBL.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Moloney leukemia virus 10(MOV10)gene knockout(MKO)mouse neuro 2a(N2a)cell lines was constructed by CRISPR/Cas9(clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated protein 9)gene editing technology.First,a recombinant plasmid pMD18T-U6-sgRNA expressing MOV10 gene-specific guide RNA(sgRNA)was constructed,and then pMD18T-U6-sgRNA and pMJ920-Cas9-eGFP were co-transfected into N2a.The results showed that the MKO N2a cell line had normal cell activity and cell proliferation ability.The infection test of the MKO N2a cell line was carried out using the rabies virus(RABV)and vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV)of the Rhabdoviridae family.The results showed that the replication level of the Rhabdoviridae virus in the MKO N2a cell line was significantly enhanced.The results showed that a MKO N2a cell line was successfully constructed in this study,which provided a preliminary basis for the exploration of the biological function and antiviral mechanism of MOV10 and the develop-ment of a recombinant viral vector vaccine with RABV/VSV as the vector.

Objective:To explore the hemodynamic characteristics of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in atherosclerotic stenosis using four-dimensional flow (4D Flow) MRI, and combining high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HR VW-MRI) to analyze the relationship between hemodynamics and the degree of stenosis, as well as the morphological characteristics of plaques.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 24 patients with middle cerebral artery(MCA) M1 atherosclerotic stenosis and 10 age and sex matched healthy controls (HC group) were prospectively recruited from September 2018 to March 2021 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. All subjects underwent MRI examination. The hemodynamic of MCA were collected by 4D Flow MRI, and the hemodynamic parameters of proximal and distal MCA stenosis were calculated by blood flow post-processing software, including average blood flow rate (FR avg), average blood flow velocity (V avg), peak blood flow velocity (V pk), time average wall shear stress (TAWSS), minimum wall shear stress (WSS min) and oscillatory shear index (OSI). The differences in hemodynamic parameters among the proximal and distal ends of MCA stenosis and the HC group were compared using one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis H test. The stenosis rate and characteristics of MCA plaque were analyzed by HR VW-MRI, including remodeling index (RI), normalized wall index (NWI) and plaque length. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between stenosis rate and hemodynamic parameters. Taking the stenosis rate as the control variable, partial correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between plaque morphological characteristics and hemodynamic parameters. Results:There were statistically significant differences in FR avg, V avg, V pk, TAWSS, OSI, WSS min among the proximal and distal stenosis of MCA and HC groups ( P<0.05). The proximal end of the MCA stenosis had significantly higher FR avg, V avg, TAWSS and WSS min than those of the distal end of the stenosis ( P<0.01). The FR avg, V avg, V pk, TAWSS, and WSS min in the distal end of MCA stenosis were lower than those in the HC group, while the OSI was higher than that in the HC group ( P<0.01). The correlation analysis results showed that the MCA proximal V pk ( r=-0.425, P=0.027) and distal V pk ( r=-0.538, P=0.004) were negatively correlated with the diameter stenosis rate. When the stenosis rate was taken as the control factor, in the MCA proximal stenosis, V avg ( r=0.553, P=0.003), TAWSS ( r=0.543, P=0.004) and WSS min ( r=0.547, P=0.004) were positively correlated with RI, proximal OSI was negatively correlated with RI ( r=-0.492, P=0.011), and was positively correlated with the plaque length ( r=0.437, P=0.026). At the distal end of the stenosis, V pk was negatively correlated with NWI ( r=-0.556, P=0.003), OSI was negatively correlated with RI ( r=-0.511, P=0.008), NWI ( r=-0.390, P=0.049). TAWSS was positively correlated with RI ( r=0.393, P=0.047). Conclusions:The 4D Flow MRI demonstrates characteristic hemodynamic changes in the proximal and distal ends of the stenotic MCA. The local hemodynamic characteristics of the stenotic MCA are correlated with plaque morphological parameters, including lumen stenosis, plaque load, and RI. It suggests an interaction between the occurrence and development of MCA plaque and local hemodynamic changes.

Objective To investigate the relationship between daily intake of monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFAs)and polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs)and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),and to determine the threshold values of daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake for NAFLD risk.Methods Date were collected from the Dryad database.We enrolled a total of 1 068 healthy subjects aged 18 years and older(534 in the control group and 534 with NAFLD group)who had physical check-up in the Affiliated Nanping First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2015 to August 2017.Comprehensive medical histories were obtained through questionnaires;information on dietary intake was collected using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake were calculated.Baseline characteristics were compared between the two groups,and Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline(RCS)analyses were used to explore the relationship between daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake and NAFLD.Results Compared with the control group,the prevalence of hypertension,tea drinking,body mass index(BMI),daily energy intake,and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intakes were significant higher in patients with NAFLD(all P＜0.05),but the proportion of physical activities was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting other confounding factors such as age,gender and BMI,for every 10 g increase in daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake,the risk of NAFLD increased by 53％(95％ CI:1.25-1.87,P＜0.001)and 3.30 times(95％ CI:2.98-6.20,P＜0.001),respectively.RCS indicated an approximately linear relationship between daily MUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity=0.064)and a nonlinear relationship between daily PUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity＜0.05).Subgroup analysis results were generally consistent,and there was statistical evidence of interactions between MUFAs and factors such as gender,hypertension and education level,with interaction between PUFAs and BMI observed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Increased daily intake of MUFAs or PUFAs is significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD,and further research is needed to clarify their specific roles in hepatic lipid accumulation.

To verify whether chaperones can promote the soluble expression of PlpE in Escherichia coli and whether the expressed protein is active,prokaryotic expression and Western blot detection were performed.The results showed that:The PlpE prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-plpE was expressed as inclusion body,and the expression form was not changed by changing the concentration of inducer,induction time and temperature.The companion proteins pG-KJE8,pGro7,pKJE7 and pG-Tf2 were co-expressed with pET-32a(+)-plpE in Eschierichia coli expres-sion system,respectively.When the final concentration of IPTG of 0.5 mmol/L,L-arabinose of 0.5 g/L or tetracycline of 5.0 μg/L were added as inducers and induced at 37 ℃ for 8 h,the results showed that the molecular companion pGro7 could change the expression of rp-PlpE from inclu-sion body to soluble expression.pG-KJE8,pKJE7 and pG-Tf2 had no effect on the expression of rp-PlpE.The soluble rp-PlpE can react specifically with the positive serum of Mannheimia haemolyti-ca.Therefore,the study showed that the co-expression of the chaperone protein pGro7 can make the rp-PlpE protein express in a soluble form,and the purified protein exhibits reactogenicity.These findings lay the foundation for the establishment of a subunit vaccine and serological diagno-sis methods for Mannheimia haemolytica.

Objective:To summarize domestic and foreign transitional readiness assessment tools for adolescents with chronic diseases and analyze the current status of their application in the clinic, so as to provide references for healthcare professionals to select appropriate tools.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP and China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and scholar.google.com were searched for literature related to the assessment tools of transition readiness in adolescents with chronic illnesses from inception to March 29, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data.Results:A total of 491 articles were initially retrieved and 24 were included, involving a total of 8 transitional readiness assessment tools for adolescents with chronic diseases, including the Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire, the University of North Carolina TRxANSITION Scale, Am I ON TRAC for adult care? Questionnaire, Transition Questionnaire, Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire, Good 2 Go Questionnaire, State Assessment Questionnaire for Transition, and Self-assessment Scale of Transition Readiness for Adolescents. The Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire and Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire have good reliability and validity, comprehensive evaluation, wide applicability, simple use, and are suitable for clinical use.Conclusions:The quality of existing tools for assessing transitional readiness of adolescents with chronic diseases is mixed. The Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire and Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire are more appropriate options in the clinic, but they still need to be improved. Future studies need to continue to introduce tools to assess transitional readiness for chronic diseases in adolescents and develop localized assessment tools.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the embryo cryopreservation duration on pregnancy and obstetric outcome.Methods:A retrospective cohort study of 2 662 frozen-thawed embyro tranfer (FET) cycles was conducted in the Reproductive Medicine Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020. According to embryo cryopreservation duration, the patients were divided into group A (≤1 year, n=2 115), group B (>1 years and ≤3 years, n=319), group C (>3 years and ≤6 years, n=174), and group D (>6 years, n=54). We used the propensity score matching (PSM) to match the baseline data of oocyte retrieval age of the other three groups according to group D at a ratio of 1∶3. Clinical and obstetric outcomes were compared among the four groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of oocyte retrieval age, embryo transfer age, the duration of embryo cryopreservation, endometrial preparation scheme, endometrial thickness, the number of transferred embryos and the number of high-quality embryos on pregnancy and live birth outcome. Results:1) Before PSM, there were significant differences in the maternal age at oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer and duration of embryo cryopreservation among the four groups(all P<0.001). 2) After PSM, the baseline characteristics of oocyte retrieval age reached a balance among the four groups. There were no statistical differences in the number of embryos transfer, the number of high-quality embryos, the transferred embryo stage, the endometrial regimen among the groups (all P>0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate [37.04% (20/54)] and the live birth rate [33.33% (18/54)] in group D were lower than those in group A [51.57% (82/159), 40.88% (65/159)], group B [50.00% (65/130), 40.77% (53/130)] and group C [49.59% (61/123), 39.02% (48/123)], but the difference was not statistically significant between the four groups ( P=0.310, P=0.781). There were no statistical differences among the four groups in the ratio of male to female newborns, gestational age, birth weight, preterm delivery rate, low birth weight rate, macrosomia rate, birth defects, and premature repture of membranes (all P>0.05). 3) Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the number of high-quality embryos transferred affected the clinical pregnancy outcome (before PSM, OR=2.614, 95% CI: 2.168-3.151, P<0.001; after PSM, OR=1.984, 95% CI: 1.406-2.800, P<0.001) and live birth (before PSM, OR=2.708, 95% CI: 2.198-3.336, P<0.001; after PSM, OR=2.122, 95% CI: 1.474-3.053, P<0.001). The duration of embryo cryopreservation does not affect the clinical outcome and live birth (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The duration of embryo cryopreservation does not affect the clinical outcome and live birth, but large sample data are still needed to support this conclusion in the future.
