Objective To investigate the mechanism of microRNA-214-3p(miR-214-3p)targe-ting CHUK to regulate the nuclear factor(NF)-κB pathway in modulating the chemosensitivity of lym-phoma cells to ibrutinib.Methods The half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)was used to verify the ibrutinib-resistant cell model.The expression levels of miR-214-3p and CHUK mRNA in tissues and cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Western blotting(WB)was employed to assess CHUK protein levels.A dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to confirm the direct targeting relationship between miR-214-3p and CHUK.Cell viability was measured using CCK-8 assay.Flow cytometry was used to evaluate cell apoptosis.The expression of the NF-κB p65 signaling pathway was detected by WB.Results The CHUK mRNA and CHUK protein expression levels were higher in ibrutinib-resistant cells than in control cells(P<0.05).The qRT-PCR results showed that miR-214-3p was downregulated in ibrutinib-resistant cells.The dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-214-3p directly targeted CHUK.Transfection of miR-214-3p mimics and knockdown of CHUK(si-CHUK)reduced the number of colony-forming cells,whereas transfection of miR-214-3p inhibitor increased the number of colony-forming cells(P<0.05).Transfection of miR-214-3p mimics and knockdown of CHUK(si-CHUK)can promote apoptosis,while transfection of miR-214-3p inhibitor can inhibit apoptosis(P<0.05).Inhibition of the NF-κB p65 pathway was observed in cells transfected with miR-214-3p mimics(P<0.05).Conclusion MiR-214-3p may regulate the NF-κB p65 pathway by targeting the expression of CHUK,thereby enhancing the chemosensitivity of ibrutinib to lymphoma.

[Objective] To investigate the molecular prevalence and genotype of human parvovirus B19(B19) among blood donors in Lanzhou, and provide data support for monitoring the positive rate of B19 DNA in local blood donors. [Methods] A total of 7 644 blood donor samples collected from January to September 2022 were randomly screened using real-time fluorescent PCR, resulting in 23 samples testing positive for B19 DNA. The characteristics of the B19 DNA reactive donors including gender, age, blood donation recruitment and promotion mode, and donation frequency were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Additionally, the VP1 gene fragment of B19 DNA reactive samples was sequenced and an evolutionary tree was constructed by the N-J method. [Results] The results showed that the positive rate of B19 DNA in Lanzhou was 0.30%, and the positive population mainly consisted of female individuals aged 18-30 years old who were first-time blood donors; furthermore, genotype 1a was identified as predominant. [Conclusion] The positive rate of B19 DNA is low among blood donors in Lanzhou, with genotype 1a being predominant. It is recommended to periodically monitor the B19 prevalence in blood donors and enhance prevention and control measures, thus improving blood quality and safety.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between clinical symptoms,BIG score,laboratory examination and the prognosis of children with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI),to determine the indicators associated with poor prognosis,in order to make early judgment for the prognosis of children with moderate to severe TBI.Methods:A total of 78 children with moderate to severe TBI were enrolled in the PICU of Jiangxi Provincial Children's Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. Clinical data,laboratory tests,BIG scores and Glasgow prognostic score were collected upon admission. The patients were followed up for 6 months and divided into poor prognosis group(Glasgow prognostic score1-3)and good prognosis group(Glasgow prognostic score4-5)based on the Glasgow prognostic score. The indicators related to poor prognosis were selected,and the efficacy of the indicators to predict the prognosis was analyzed and compared.Results:There were statistical differences among BIG score,hemoglobin,lactic acid,glucose,respiratory failure,and hypotension shock( P<0.05). The BIG score was an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis. The BIG score had the highest AUC value(0.820)among the four indices. The combined indices(BIG score,hemoglobin,lactic acid,glucose)had the highest AUC value(0.851)and had better performance for predicting the prognosis of moderate to severe TBI in children than any of the four indexs alone. Conclusion:The BIG score can be an independent predictor of early outcome in children with moderate to severe TBI. The combination of BIG score,hemoglobin,lactic acid,and glucose has better performance for predicting the prognosis of moderate to severe TBI in children than any of the four indices alone.

Objective:
To investigate the association between edentulism and the risk of social isolation in middle-aged and elderly populations, provide empirical evidence for formulating social isolation prevention and intervention policies targeting edentulous middle-aged and elderly populations.
Methods:
Data were derived from the baseline survey (2011) and three follow-ups (2013, 2015, 2018) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Participants were enrolled in the follow-up from the baseline. Those identified as socially isolated in any of the follow-up surveys conducted in 2013, 2015, or 2018 were considered to have reached the endpoint; otherwise, the follow-up was continued until the end of the 2018 survey; 9 870 individuals were ultimately included. Subjects were grouped by edentulism status. Chi-square test and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed using Stata 17.0.
Results:
During a median follow-up of 6.54 years, 1 800 cases of social isolation occurred, with an incidence rate of 18.23%(17.47%~18.99%). Multivariate Cox regression showed that edentulism was associated with an increased risk of social isolation (HR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.03-1.42) after adjusting for confounders. Subgroup analysis revealed population heterogeneity. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the stability of the results.
Conclusion
Edentulism is associated with an increased risk of social isolation in middle-aged and elderly adults.
