Objective To analyze the prevalence and genetic characteristics of influenza A(H3N2) viruses in the city of Xiangyang in 2022-2023, and to provide a scientific basis for predicting the epidemic and mutation of influenza virus. Methods Throat swab specimens of the influenza like cases were collected from national influenza monitoring sentinel hospitals in Xiangyang every week. RNA was extracted from the specimens for influenza diagnosing using real-time RT-PCR.Viruses were isolated from H3N2 positive specimens, and HA and NA genes were amplified and sequenced.3D modeling analyses were conducted. Results The gene phylogenetic tree showed that the H3N2 isolates in 2022-2023 belonged to 3C.2a1b.2a1 and 3C.2a1b.2a2 branches, respectively. The A(H3N2) influenza virus strains all had amino acid point mutation sites on important antigenic determinants of HA protein. The epitope mutations of the 2022 A(H3N2) strain mainly occurred in regions B, C, and D. The epitope mutations of the A(H3N2) strain in 2023 mainly occurred in regions C and D. Different glycosylation sites of HA gene were found in 2022-2023 strains. No variation was found in key amino acid sites associated with neuraminidase inhibitor resistance. The difference of overall structure was not obvious in the three-dimensional simulation structure diagram. Conclusion The A(H3N2) influenza strains isolated in this study have shown antigenic drift, especially the mutation of HA, which may affect the protective effect of the vaccine on the local population and lead to influenza epidemic. The variations of HA and NA suggest that close attention should be paid to the epidemic and genetic variation of H3N2 subtype influenza virus, to provide a scientific basis for the selection of influenza virus vaccine strains and the prevention and control of influenza.

ObjectiveTo determine the optimal dose of Dachengqi Decoction (大承气汤, DCQD) for the treatment of acute intestinal obstruction (AIO) through a randomized, double-blind, dosage parallel controlled, multi-center clinical trial, and to providee evidence support for the reasonable dosage of DCQD in clinical practice. MethodsBased on the commonly used clinical dose of DCQD, three different groups were set up, including low-dose group which used Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) 12 g, Houpo (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis) 9 g, Zhishi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus) 9 g, and Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) 4.5 g, medium-dose group using Dahuang 36 g, Houpo 27 g, Zhishi 27 g, Mangxiao 13.5 g, and high-dose group using Dahuang 60 g, Houp0 45 g, Zhishi 45 g and Mangxiao 22.5 g. Initially, 149 AIO patients with Yangming (阳明) bowel excess syndrome were randomly assigned to three groups using a stratified randomization method, and both the patients and the doctors were blinded. In addition to conventional western medicine treatment, each group was given 12 bags of granules made from the raw herbs of DCQD at different doses, taken orally or injected through a gastric catheter once every 6 hours, 3 bags each time, for 3 consecutive days. After treatment, the indicators of the three groups of patients with primary AIO and non-primary AIO were evaluated respectively, and the full analysis set (FAS) and per-protocol set (PPS) were used for analysis. The primary outcomes were the time to recover voluntary bowel movements and voluntary flatulence. The secondary outcomes were the ideal rate of spontaneous defecation and the ideal rate of spontaneous flatus. The occurrence of adverse events during the study was recorded and analyzed using the safety analysis set (SS). ResultsA total of 91 patients with primary AIO and 58 patients with non-primary AIO were included in the FAS and SS analysis, while 80 primary AIO patients and 56 non-primary AIO patients were included in the PPS analysis. Both FAS and PPS analysis showed significant differences in the time to recover voluntary bowel movements and voluntary flatulence among primary AIO patients in different dose groups of DCQD (P<0.01), and the high- and medium-dose groups assumed less time than the low-dose group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the ideal rate of spontaneous defecation and spontaneous flatus among the three groups (P>0.05). And consistent results were seen in the non-primary AIO patients among the three groups. Five adverse events occurred in primary AIO patients (3 in the low-dose group, 1 in the medium-dose group, and 1 in the high-dose group), mainly manifested as abdominal distension and abdominal pain, and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (P>0.05). No adverse events occurred in patients with non-primary AIO. ConclusionDCQD, as an effective treatment for patients with AIO, is commonly used at a medium dose for patients with primary AIO and at a high dose for patients with non-primary AIO. The therapeutic advantage is mainly reflected in the shorter time to recover spontaneous defecation and spontaneous flatulence and the improvement of intestinal function.

ObjectiveTo observe the recovery of proprioception of the affected ankle over time after lateral ankle sprain accepting routine rehabilitation. MethodsFrom June, 2020 to June, 2022, 18 patients with lateral ankle sprain in Kunshan Rehabilitation Hospital underwent routine rehabilitation for twelve weeks. They were measured active and passive position sense of bilateral ankles using an isokinetic dynamometer before treatment, and four, eight and twelve weeks after treatment, respectively. ResultsThe active presentation difference of affected ankle reduced after treatment (F = 22.533, P < 0.001), but it was more than that of the healthy ankle at the same time (t > 4.419, P < 0.001). No significant improvement was found in passive presentation difference of affected ankle after treatment (F = 1.175, P > 0.05), and it was not significantly different from those of the healthy ankle at the same time (|t| < 0.646, P > 0.05). ConclusionProprioception of affected ankle has been impaired after lateral ankle sprain, and it can be recovered after rehabilitation, but cannot achieve the healthy level even after three months of training. Passive position sense as an index of proprioception needs more researches.

5.Clinical characteristic of familial exudative vitreous retinopathy occurring in premature infants
International Eye Science 2022;22(3):525-530
AIM: To describe the clinical characteristics of 6 premature infants diagnosed as familial exudative vitreoretinopathy(FEVR).
METHODS: From August 2018 to January 2019, the researchers collected six premature cases of FEVR from Xinhua Hospital Affiliated To Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. All 6 infants born prematurely had examinations of fundus photography and fluorescein angiograms under anesthesia. Medical history and angiographic features were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTS: Six infants born prematurely were initially misdiagnosed as retinopathy of prematurity ROP. All underwent injection anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(anti-VEGF)drug into vitreous body cavity subsequently, two of whom were treated with injection anti-VEGF drug into vitreous body cavity twice. Six infants born prematurely had follow-up examinations of fundus photography and fluorescein angiograms with the machine of Retcam digital imaging system under anesthesia, they were eventually diagnosed as FEVR. Then 2 cases were treated with laser photocoagulation, 1 case was treated with injection anti-VEGF drug into vitreous body cavity combined laser photocoagulation, 1 case was treated with injection anti-VEGF drug into vitreous body cavity, 2 cases maintain the follow-up visit.
CONCLUSION: Clinically, premature infants FEVR, tend to be misdiagnosed as ROP initially. If the demarcation line separating the avascular from the vascular retinal regions presents persistent or the condition turns to be worse, more examinations will be required to confirm the diagnosis such as fluorescein angiograms under anesthesia. FEVR is a lifelong disease, its symptoms, if present, typically take a progressive course during childhood and adolescence. Early diagnosis of FEVR is crucial due to its progressive nature and the genetic/familial underpinnings of the condition. The correct identification of those FEVR patients can help them receive timely treatment and genetic counseling for those of child-bearing age.

Objective:To investigate the effect of interfering S-phase kinase associated protein 1 (SKP1) gene on apoptosis in Parkinson's disease(PD) cell model induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridine ion (MPP+ ) and the mechanism of ubiquitin proteasome system degradation of α-synuclein (α-syn) influence.Methods:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into control group, MPP+ group, SKP1 interference group, and SKP1 interference+ MG132(UPS inhibitor) group.The cells in the control group were cultured normally. The cells in the latter three groups were incubated with MPP+ (0.5 mmol/L) for 24 h as PD model cells.The cells in SKP1 interference group were transfected with lentivirus SKP1-siRNA, and the cells in SKP1 interference+ MG132 group were transfected with lentivirus SKP1 siRNA and added with MG132 (0.5 μmol/L) for 24 h. The protein levels and mRNA levels of SKP1, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP), α-syn, ubiquitin activating enzyme E1 (UBE1), parkin, and p27 in cells were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cycle level, and CCK-8 method was used to detect cell proliferation level.Co-immunoprecipitation method was used to explore the interaction between SKP1 and p27. SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among groups, and LSD test was used for further pairwise comparison.Results:RT-PCR and Western blot results showed that the mRNA levels and protein levels of autophagy related proteins and ubiquitin related proteins LC3, LAMP2, α-syn, UBE1, parkin and p27 in the four groups were statistically significant(mRNA: F=99.155, 43.028, 138.464, 28.200, 22.009, 28.147, all P<0.05; F=245.517, 157.634, 315.920, 2 336.472, 477.429, 2 350.201, all P<0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of LC3, Lamp2, α-syn and p27 in SKP1 interference group were lower than those in MPP+ group (all P<0.05), while the mRNA and protein levels of UBE1 and parkin were higher than those in MPP+ group (all P<0.05). The mRNA and protein levels of LC3, α-syn and p27 in SKP1 interference+ MG132 group were higher than those in SKP1 interference group (all P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein levels of UBE1 and parkin were lower than those in SKP1 interference group (all P<0.05). The results of flow cytometry and CCK-8 method showed that the apoptosis rate and cell inhibition rate among the four groups were significantly different( F=2 749.420, 171.508, both P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of SKP1 interference group was lower than that of MPP+ group ((8.22±0.25)%, (15.30±0.21)%, P<0.05), while the cell inhibition rate of SKP1 interference group was lower than that of MPP+ group((26.31±3.73)%, (55.05±3.84)%, P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of SKP1 interference+ MG132 group ((9.49±0.07)%) was higher than that of SKP1 interference group, and the cell inhibition rate ((36.06±2.85)%) was higher than that of SKP1 interference group (both P<0.05). The results of immunoprecipitation method showed that P27 decreased after SKP1 immunoprecipitation. Conclusion:After SKP1 gene was interfered, the autophagy function of PD cells decreased, which may be related to parkin promoting α-syn ubiquitination, activating UBE1/ Parkin-mediated UPS pathway to degrade α-syn, and mediating P27 to inhibit apoptosis.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and treatment of perioperative anemia in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in Hubei Province. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 7 474 patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms in 62 hospitals in 15 cities (state) of Hubei Province in 2019 were collected in the form of network database. There were 4 749 males and 2 725 females. The median age of the patients was 62 years (range: 17 to 96 years). The hemoglobin value of the first time in hospital and the first day after operation was used as the criterion of preoperative anemia and postoperative anemia. Anemia was defined as male hemoglobin <120 g/L and female hemoglobin <110.0 g/L, mild anemia as 90 to normal, moderate anemia as 60 to <90 g/L, severe anemia as <60 g/L. The t test and χ2 test were used for inter-group comparison. Results: The overall incidence of preoperative anemia was 38.60%(2 885/7 474), and the incidences of mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia were 25.09%(1 875/7 474), 11.37%(850/7 474) and 2.14%(160/7 474), respectively. The overall incidence of postoperative anemia was 61.40%(4 589/7 474). The incidence of mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia were 48.73%(3 642/7 474), 12.20%(912/7 474) and 0.47%(35/7 474), respectively. The proportion of preoperative anemia patients receiving treatment was 26.86% (775/2 885), and the proportion of postoperative anemia patients receiving treatment was 14.93% (685/4 589). The proportions of preoperative anemia patients in grade ⅢA, grade ⅢB, and grade ⅡA hospitals receiving treatment were 26.12% (649/2 485), 32.32% (85/263), and 29.93% (41/137), and the proportions of postoperative anemia patients receiving treatment were 14.61% (592/4 052), 22.05% (73/331), and 9.71% (20/206). The proportion of intraoperative blood transfusion (16.74% (483/2 885) vs. 3.05% (140/4 589), χ²=434.555, P<0.01) and the incidence of postoperative complications (17.78% (513/2 885) vs. 14.08% (646/4 589), χ²=18.553, P<0.01) in the preoperative anemia group were higher than those in the non-anemia group, and the postoperative hospital stay in the preoperative anemia group was longer than that in the non-anemia group ((14.1±7.3) days vs. (13.3±6.2) days, t=5.202, P<0.01). Conclusions: The incidence of perioperative anemia in patients with gastrointestinal neoplasms is high. Preoperative anemia can increase the demand for intraoperative blood transfusion and affect the short-term prognosis of patients. At present, the concept of standardized treatment of perioperative anemia among gastrointestinal surgeons in Hubei Province needs to be improved.

Objective:To investigate the regulation of Parkin-dependent mitophagy mediated by calcyclin-binding protein and Siah-1 interacting protein (CacyBP/SIP) on apoptosis and cycle of dopaminergic (DA) neurons.Methods:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into model group, control group and CacyBP/SIP group; cells in the model group were treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine (MPP +, 0.5 mmol/L) for 24 h, and cells in the control group and CacyBP/SIP group were transfected with empty lentivirus or CacyBP/SIP-sgRNA lentivirus on the basis of MMP +(0.5 mmol/L) treatment for 24 h, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of CacyBP/SIP, microtubule-associated protein l light chain 3 (LC3), lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), phosphatase and tensin homolog ten induced kinase 1 (Pink1), Parkin, P53, Bcl-2, and Bax; flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis and cycle; immunofluorescent single staining was used to detect the expressions of LC3 and LAMP2; immunofluorescent double staining was used to detect the coexpressions of CacyBP/SIP and Parkin. Results:As compared with the model group and control group, the CacyBP/SIP group had significant reduction in protein expressions of CacyBP/SIP, LAMP2, Pink1, and Parkin, LC3-II/I ratio, immunofluorescent staining intensities of LC3-II and LAMP2, and Bcl-2 protein expressions ( P<0.05). As compared with the model group and control group, the CacyBP/SIP group had significantly increased Bax protein expression, significantly decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, significantly increased apoptosis rate, significantly increased P53 protein expression, significantly increased proportion of cells at G1 phase, and significantly decreased immunofluorescent intensity of CacyBP/SIP and Parkin co-expressions ( P<0.05). Conclusion:After knocking out CacyBP/SIP gene, the decrease of Parkin protein leads to cell cycle being arrested at G1 stage, and mediates the decrease of Parkin-dependent mitochondrial autophagy, thereby leading to increased cell apoptosis.
