BACKGROUND:Magnetic nanomaterials have biological activities such as promoting osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and inhibiting osteoclast formation,and can effectively promote the healing of injured bone tissue under the synergistic effect of magnetic fields.They have a very broad application prospect in bone injury repair. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism of magnetic nanomaterials and magnetic fields promoting bone repair,as well as their research progress in the field of bone injury repair. METHODS:Relevant literature search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science databases with the search terms"magnetic nanomaterials,magnetic field,bone repair,bone tissue engineering,stem cell,osteoblast,osteoclast."The time limit of literature search was from 2003 to 2023,which was screened and analyzed.Some classic articles were manually retrieved,and 98 articles were finally included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Magnetic nanomaterials have biological effects such as promoting osteoblast differentiation,inhibiting osteoclast formation and regulating the immune microenvironment.In addition,magnetic nanomaterials can regulate the physicochemical properties of tissue engineering scaffolds,such as mechanical properties and surface morphology,and endowed with magnetic properties,which is conducive to the regulation of the adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells.(2)The magnetic field has the ability to regulate multiple cell signaling pathways to promote osteoblast differentiation,inhibit osteoclast formation,stimulate angiogenesis and other biological effects,thus accelerating the healing of damaged bone tissue.(3)The joint application of magnetic nanomaterials and magnetic field accelerates the repair of bone damage by activating mechanotransduction,increasing the content of intracellular magnetic nanoparticles,and enhancing the effect of micro-magnetic field,which provides a new idea for the research of bone tissue engineering.(4)Magnetic field has demonstrated definite efficacy in the treatment of clinical fractures,osteoporosis,and osteoarthritis diseases,which is beneficial for bone tissue growth,reducing bone loss,alleviating pain,and improving the quality of life of patients.(5)Magnetic nanomaterials and magnetic fields have great potential for application in bone damage repair and regeneration,but the interaction mechanism between magnetic nanomaterials,magnetic fields,and cells has not been fully elucidated.Moreover,the key parameters of magnetic fields that regulate intracellular molecular events,including the type,intensity,frequency,duration,and mode of the magnetic field,as well as the precise biological effects of a specific magnetic field on osteoblasts and the underlying mechanisms,have yet to be defined.(6)Further attention needs to be paid to the effects on osteoclasts,nerves,blood vessels,and immune cells in the microenvironment of damaged tissues.Finally,the safety of magnetic materials for human use is yet to be systematically studied in terms of their distribution,metabolism,and acute and chronic toxicities.

Aim To investigate the effects of hedysar-um polybotrys polysacchcaide(HPS)on gastric muco-sal inflammation of diabetic gastroparesis(DGP)rats and its possible mechanism.Methods A total of 62 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group(12)and the modeling group(50).Except for the control group,the remaining rats were given multi-ple intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin(25 mg ·kg-1 for three consecutive days)and irregular feed-ing of high-sugar and high-fat diet to replicate DGP model.The model rats were randomly divided into the model group(intragastatically purified water),low,medium and high dose HPS groups(50,100,200 mg ·kg-1·d-1)and the metformin group(90 mg· kg-1·d-1),respectively,and the control group was intragastrically treated with equal volume of purified water once a day for eight weeks.The pathological morphology of gastric mucosa was observed by HE stai-ning;the contents of TNF-α,IL-6,GAS and MTL in gastric mucosa were detected by ELISA.The expres-sion of JAK2 and STAT3mRNA in gastric mucosa was detected by RT-PCR.The levels of JAK2 and STAT3 proteins and their phosphorylation in gastric mucosa were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group,the gastric mucosa of the model group showed a large number of inflammatory cells in-filtrated by HE staining.The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 significantly increased(P＜0.01),while the contents of GAS and MTL significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The mRNA expressions of JAK2 and STAT3 significantly increased(P＜0.05).p-JAK2and p-STAT3 significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,gastric mucosal inflammation was improved in each administration group.The con-tents of TNF-α and IL-6 decreased significantly,while the contents of GAS and MTL increased significantly.The mRNA expressions of JAK2 and STAT3 were sig-nificantly reduced.The expressions of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclu-sions HPS can improve gastric mucosal inflammation and repair gastric mucosal damage in rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective To investigate the changing distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of clinical isolates of Staphylococcus in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for the clinical isolates of Staphylococcus according to the unified protocol of CHINET(China Antimicrobial Surveillance Network)using disk diffusion method and commercial automated systems.The CHINET antimicrobial resistance surveillance data from 2015 to 2021 were interpreted according to the 2021 CLSI breakpoints and analyzed using WHONET 5.6.Results During the period from 2015 to 2021,a total of 204,771 nonduplicate strains of Staphylococcus were isolated,including 136,731(66.8％)strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 68,040(33.2％)strains of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS).The proportions of S.aureus isolates and CNS isolates did not show significant change.S.aureus strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(38.9±5.1)％,wound,pus and secretions(33.6±4.2)％,and blood(11.9±1.5)％.The CNS strains were predominantly isolated from blood(73.6±4.2)％,cerebrospinal fluid(12.1±2.5)％,and pleural effusion and ascites(8.4±2.1)％.S.aureus strains were mainly isolated from the patients in ICU(17.0±7.3)％,outpatient and emergency(11.6±1.7)％,and department of surgery(11.2±0.9)％,whereas CNS strains were primarily isolated from the patients in ICU(32.2±9.7)％,outpatient and emergency(12.8±4.7)％,and department of internal medicine(11.2±1.9)％.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 32.9％in S.aureus(MRSA)and 74.1％in CNS(MRCNS).Over the 7-year period,the prevalence of MRSA decreased from 42.1％to 29.2％,and the prevalence of MRCNS decreased from 82.1％to 68.2％.MRSA showed higher resistance rates to all the antimicrobial agents tested except trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than methicillin-susceptible S.aureus(MSSA).Over the 7-year period,MRSA strains showed decreasing resistance rates to gentamicin,rifampicin,and levofloxacin,MRCNS showed decreasing resistance rates to gentamicin,erythromycin,rifampicin,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,but increasing resistance rate to levofloxacin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were detected.The prevalence of linezolid-resistant MRCNS increased from 0.2％to 2.3％over the 7-year period.Conclusions Staphylococcus remains the major pathogen among gram-positive bacteria.MRSA and MRCNS were still the principal antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria.No S.aureus isolates were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid,but linezolid-resistant strains have been detected in MRCNS isolates,which is an issue of concern.

The genomic characteristics and cellular tropism of a Mangshi virus(MSV)isolated in China were investigated,thereby establishing a robust foundation for further research on the evolution and pathogenicity of MSV.The genome sequence of MSV strain V301/YNJH/2019 was obtained by next-generation sequencing,followed by phylogenetic tree construction and rearrangement assessment using software IQtree,RPD4,and Simplot.Viral proliferation was assessed in C6/36(Aedes albop-ictus),Vero(African green monkey kidney),and BHK(baby hamster kidney)cells.An initial epidemiological investigation of MSV in local cattle and goats was conducted using the serum neutralization test.The genome of MSV strain V301/YNJ H/2019 was 20623 bp in length,encompassing 12 segments of double-stranded RNA(Seg-1 to Seg-12).Sequence analysis confirmed genomic rearrangement of the Seg-1 and Seg-11 sequences,ex-hibiting high similarity to MSV isolated from lake sediment in China in 2022,while Seg-2 to Seg-10 and Seg-12 were most closely related to a MSV strain isolated from mosquitoes in China in 2013.The virus efficiently proliferated and induced sig-nificant cytopathic effects(CPE)in both C6/36 and BHK cells,but limited replication and no observable CPE in Vero cells.No detectable neutralizing antibodies against MSV were detected in 20 goat serum samples collected in Mangshi,while 2 of 20 bo-vine serum samples were positive with neutralizing antibody titers of 1:128 and 1:54.Whole genome sequencing revealed re-assortment events of the V301/YNJH/2019 strain,which is capable of infecting C6/36,BHK,and Vero cells.MSV infection was confirmed in cattle in Mangshi.

This study was aimed at comparing performance differences among three metagenomic sequencing platforms,MGISEQ-2000,Illumina NextSeq 2000,and Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus,to optimize the sequencing process for trace samples.The three sequencing platforms were used to perform high-throughput sequencing on DNA standards and simulated samples.Through analysis of the quality of raw data and microbial detection capabilities,systematic differences among platforms were compared.The sequencing results were optimized for trace samples by incorporation of exogenous nucleic acids during the li-brary preparation process.In terms of data output per batch and base quality,MGISEQ-2000 surpassed the other two plat-forms.Illumina NextSeq 2000 had the lowest proportion of duplicate reads,whereas Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus had the highest proportion,and significant differences were observed across platforms(P＜0.001).In sequencing uniformity,MGISEQ-2000 and Illumina NextSeq 2000 were superior to Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus.MGISEQ-2000 provided a substantial advantage in microbial detection capability(P＜0.001),but the advantage diminished with decreasing bacterial fluid concentration.Ion GeneStudio S5 Plus had the shortest duration for single-batch sequencing.Moreo-ver,for trace samples with DNA content ≤0.05 ng,the experi-mental group(with added exogenous nucleic acids)achieved a higher number of reads than the control group(without exogenous nucleic acids),with a 11.09±8.03 fold increase.In conclu-sion,the different sequencing platforms each had advantages and disadvantages,thus allowing researchers to choose the appro-priate platform according to specific needs.Furthermore,the addition of exogenous nucleic acids improved the microorganism detection efficiency,and provided better support for subsequent diagnosis and evaluation of results.

Objective:To study the incidence and risk factors of herpes zoster in patients with multiple myeloma and to evaluate the preventive effect of antiviral therapy.Methods:The clinical features of multiple myeloma patients with herpes zoster were retrospectively analyzed,the risk factors of herpes zoster and the effect of antiviral prophylaxis were analyzed.Results:Among 180 patients with multiple myeloma,23 cases developed herpes zoster(12.8％).The incidence of herpes zoster was 19.1％in patients with renal dysfunction and 23.5％after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(ASCT).The incidence of herpes zoster was higher in patients receiving bortezomib-containing regimens(21/137,15.3％)than that in those without bortezomib(2/43,4.7％),but there was no statistical difference(P=0.067).Antiviral prophylaxis was associated with fewer zoster infections,8/111(7.2％)developed herpes zoster in patients who received antiviral prophylaxis,and 15/69(21.7％)in those receiving no prophylaxis(P=0.005).65.2％of patients with herpes zoster did not receive antiviral prophylaxis.Multivariate analysis showed that bortezomib treatment,AHSCT and renal dysfunction were independent risk factors for multiple myeloma with herpes zoster,while antiviral prophylaxis was independently associated with reducing the risk of herpes zoster.Herpes zoster had no effect on OS in patients with multiple myeloma.Conclusion:The risk of herpes zoster in multiple myeloma patients was increased.Antiviral prophylaxis can reduce the risk of herpes zoster in patients on bortezomib-based therapy.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis value of serum levels of soluble B7-H3(sB7-H3),trefoil factor 1(TFF1)and lipocalin-2(LCN-2)in breast cancer(BC)patients.Methods:From March 2020 to March 2023,196 newly diagnosed BC patients accepted by Huanghe San-menxia hospital were regarded as the study subjects and assigned to the BC group;84 patients with benign breast lesions and 76 physically healthy individuals served as the benign lesion group and the control group,respectively;clinical data were collected.ELISA method was applied to de-tect the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 in each group,and the relationship between the serum levels of the three and the clinical and pathological characteristics of BC patients was analyzed;Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum sB7-H3,TFF1,LCN-2 levels and clinical pathological characteristics in BC patients;receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 levels for BC.Results:Compared with the reference group,the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 in the benign lesion group and BC group were obviously increased(P＜0.05),the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 in the BC group were obviously higher than those in the benign lesion group(P＜0.05);the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 were obviously elevated in BC patients with tumour diameter＞2 cm,TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ,lymph node metastasis,and negative ER expression(P＜0.05),the serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1 and LCN-2 were positively correlated with tumor diameter(r=0.463,0.442,0.481,P＜0.001),positive correla-tion with TNM stage(r=0.474,0.394,0.562,P＜0.001),positive correlation with lymph node me-tastasis(r=0.567,0.488,0.409,P＜0.001),and negative correlation with ER expression(r=-0.575,-0.534,-0.538,P＜0.001);the AUC for serum sB7-H3,TFF1,and LCN-2 alone for BC diagnosis were 0.817,0.814,and 0.830,respectively,and the combined diagnosis was superior to the separate diagnosis(AUC=0.911,95％CI:0.871-0.942).Conclusion:The serum levels of sB7-H3,TFF1 and LCN-2 in BC patients were significantly increased,which is of high clinical value for the diagnosis of BC.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of allo-HSCT with total body irradiation (TBI) and chemotherapy alone in the treatment of adult ALL and to explore the factors affecting prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 95 adult patients with ALL who underwent allo-HSCT from January 2015 to August 2022 were included. According to the conditioning regimen, the patients were divided into two groups: the TBI plus cyclophosphamide (TBI/Cy) group ( n=53) and the busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy) group ( n=42). Hematopoietic reconstitution after transplantation, GVHD, transplantation-related complications, relapse rate (RR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), OS, and LFS were compared, and the factors related to prognosis were analyzed. Results:The median time of neutrophil engraftment was 14 (10-25) days in the TBI/Cy group and 14 (10-24) days in the Bu/Cy group ( P=0.106). The median time of megakaryocyte engraftment was 17 (10-42) days in the TBI/Cy group and 19 (11-42) days in the Bu/Cy group ( P=0.488). The incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ acute GVHD (aGVHD) in the TBI/Cy and Bu/Cy groups was 41.5% and 35.7%, respectively ( P=0.565). The incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD in these two groups was 24.5% and 4.8%, respectively ( P=0.009). The incidence of severe chronic GVHD in the two groups was 16.7% and 13.5%, respectively ( P=0.689). The incidence of cytomegalovirus infection, Epstein-Barr virus infection, severe infection, and hemorrhagic cystitis in the two groups was 41.5% and 35.7% ( P=0.565), 34.0% and 35.7% ( P=0.859), 43.4% and 33.3% ( P=0.318), and 20.8% and 50.0% ( P=0.003), respectively. The median follow-up time was 37.1 months and 53.3 months in the TBI/Cy and Bu/Cy groups, respectively. The 2-year cumulative RR was 17.0% in the TBI/Cy group and 42.9% in the Bu/Cy group ( P=0.017). The 2-year cumulative NRM was 24.5% and 7.1%, respectively ( P=0.120). The 2-year LFS was 58.5% and 50.0%, respectively ( P=0.466). The 2-year OS rate was 69.8% and 64.3%, respectively ( P=0.697). In the multivariate analysis, the conditioning regimen containing TBI was a protective factor for relapse after transplantation ( HR=0.304, 95% CI 0.135-0.688, P=0.004), whereas the effect on NRM was not significant ( HR=1.393, 95% CI 0.355-5.462, P=0.634). Infection was an independent risk factor for OS after allo-HSCT in adult patients with ALL. Conclusion:allo-HSCT based on TBI conditioning regimen had lower relapse rate and lower incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis for adult ALL, compared with chemotherapy regimen. While the incidence o grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ aGVHD was hgher in TBI conditioning regimen than that in chemotherapy regimen.

Case 1: A 27-year-old female with ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma/leukemia; Case 2: A 27-year-old male with acute myeloid leukemia; Case 3: A 56-year-old male with myelodysplastic syndrome. These three patients underwent haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and experienced severe oral mucosal inflammation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms over a long period, which significantly restricted eating. Neurological and psychiatric symptoms appeared at 50, 38, and 50 days following transplantation, respectively. The diagnosis of Wernicke encephalopathy was made by head magnetic resonance imaging, whereas the condition improved significantly after intravenous infusion of vitamin B 1.
