ObjectiveBased on the clinical characteristics of chronic gouty arthritis （CGA） in both traditional Chinese and western medicine， this study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing CGA animal models， providing recommendations for establishing animal models that align with the pathological characteristics of CGA and the manifestations of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. MethodsBy comprehensively retrieving Chinese and international databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure， Wanfang， VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database （VIP）， and PubMed， all relevant literature on CGA animal models was collected. Based on the guidelines， the diagnostic criteria of both traditional Chinese and western medicine were summarized and organized. The evaluation indicators for the CGA model were constructed with reference to existing evaluation modes， and the CGA animal models were analyzed to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing models. ResultsThe current methods used to construct CGA animal models mainly include monosodium urate crystal induction， high-protein diet induction （poultry lack urate oxidase）， and high-fat diet combined with urate oxidase inhibitors and joint injection. Based on 11 pieces of included literature， the traditional Chinese and western medicine scoring data of each model were extracted， and the average scoring values of all models were ultimately calculated. The results show that the average clinical concordances of existing CGA animal models in both traditional Chinese and western medicine are 43.33% and 64.44%， respectively. Among them， the model with the highest clinical concordance rate is the one with a high-fat diet combined with potassium oxonate to induce hyperuricemia plus joint injection， achieving 83.33% clinical concordance in western medicine and 60% in traditional Chinese medicine. This model aligns well with the pathogenic characteristics and pathological changes of clinical CGA. ConclusionAlthough current CGA animal models can simulate some pathological characteristics of CGA， they struggle to comprehensively reflect the complex pathological processes of CGA and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. Therefore， in the future， it is necessary to establish the CGA animal models that incorporate the clinical disease and syndrome characteristics of traditional Chinese and western medicine and formulate the uniform model evaluation criteria， providing more precise tools for CGA mechanism research and the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of malaria and provide a basis for developing improved prevention and control measures. Methods Data were obtained from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Malaria surveillance data for Nanning City from January 1,2023, to December 31,2024, were exported from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management Subsystem. The characteristics of the two groups of malaria cases were compared. Results A total of 103 imported malaria cases were reported in Nanning City in 2024, representing a 38.32% decrease compared with the same period of the previous year. No statistically significant difference were observed between cases reported in 2023 and 2024 in terms of average age, gender ratio, proportion of parasite species, and monthly reporting distribution;however, statistically significant differences were found in the proportion of reporting areas and current residence areas(χ2= 13.572 and 10.355, respectively; P = 0.001 and 0.035, respectively). The proportion of cases reported in Shanglin County and the proportion of cases residing in Shanglin County were both lower than those during the same period of the previous year. Conclusions The high aggregation of imported malaria cases in Nanning City has decreased. Medical institutions in areas other than Shanglin County should strengthen their vigilance against malaria.

Objective To investigate the effect of G9a histone methyltransferase inhibitor BIX01294 on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC)and its underlying mechanism.Methods Twelve SD rats were divided into the control group and the treatment group,with 6 rats in each group.The rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection with sodium pentobarbital,then exposed the common carotid artery and the internal and external carotid artery after disinfection and skin preparation,ligated the distal end of the internal and external jugular veins,clamped the proximal end of the common carotid artery,cut the external carotid artery,inserted the balloon catheter,blocked the blood flow by compression,and ligated the proximal end of the external carotid artery after withdrawing the balloon.The common carotid artery clamping state of rats in the treatment group was maintained after withdrawing the balloon,then restored the blood flow after perfusion with 100 μmol/L BIX01294 solution for 30 seconds;rats in the control group were restored the blood flow after perfusion with PBS for 30 seconds.VSMC were divided into the normal group and the BIX01294 groups.Cells in the normal group were cultured in low glucose medium containing 2%fetal bovine serum,and cells in the BIX01294 groups were co-treated with 2.5,5.0,7.5 and 10.0 μmol/L BIX01294 on the basis of the normal group,respectively.CCK-8 assay and EDU assay were used to detect the cell activity and proliferative ability respectively,to screen appropriate concentration of BIX01294.The cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay between the normal group and the BIX01294 group,and the control group and the treatment group.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of autophagy-and apoptosis-related proteins in the normal group and BIX01294 group.Results Compared with 0 μmol/L,the activity and proliferative ability of VSMC decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after treatment with BIX01294 at different concentrations(P<0.05).Compared with the normal group,the apoptosis level of VSMC in the BIX01294 group was increased(P<0.05),the expression of VSMC autophagy-and apoptosis-related proteins of LC3Ⅰ/Ⅱ and Bax were up-regulated(P<0.05),and the expression of Bcl-2 and p62 proteins were down-regulated(P<0.05).In vivo test results showed that BIX01294 local perfusion aggravated the apoptosis of carotid VSMC.Conclusion BIX01294 activates VSMC autophagy and apoptosis and inhibits its proliferation.

Objective To observe the correlation between fat fraction(FF)and T2 value of multifidus muscle and Pfirrmann grade of L4-5 intervertebral disc in patients with lumbar muscle strain.Methods Totally 200 L4_5 intervertebral discs in 200 patients with lumbar muscle strain were retrospectively enrolled,including 6 cases of Pfirrmann grade Ⅰ,61 of grade Ⅱ,52 of grade Ⅲ,56 of grade Ⅳ and 25 cases of grade V.Based on modified DIXON quantification(mDIXON-Quant)and T2 mapping,FF and T2 value of multifidus muscle were calculated and compared among intervertebral discs with different Pfirrmann grades,and the correlations between the above parameters and Pfirrmann grade of intervertebral disc were analyzed.Results Significant differences of left,right and bilateral multifidus muscles FF,as well as of T2 values in left and bilateral multifidus muscles were found among L4-5 intervertebral discs with different Pfirrmann grades.Multifidus muscle FF was moderately positively correlated with Pfirrmann grade of L4-5 intervertebral disc(r=0.538,P＜0.05),while T2 value was weakly positively correlated with Pfirrmann grade of L4-5 intervertebral disc(r=0.202,P＜0.05).Conclusion FF of multifidus muscle was moderately positively correlated with Pfirrmann grade of L4-5 intervertebral disc,while T2 value of multifidus muscle was weakly positively correlated with Pfirrmann grade of L4-5 intervertebral disc in patients with lumbar muscle strain.

Objective:To explore the impact of marital status on the prognosis of adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:3283 patients with primary intrahepatic single tube carcinoma from 1998 to 2018 were collected.They were divided into married group(n=1999)and unmarried group(n=1284)based on marital status.The clinical data of adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma of different marital statuses were compared.Kaplan Meier survival curves were used to analyze the survival status of adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in different marital statuses.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to investigate the factors affecting the survival of adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Kaplan Meier survival curves were used to analyze the survival status of adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in different marital statuses,including whether they received surgical treatment,radiotherapy treatment,and gender differences.Results:The proportion of male patients,the proportion of white patients,the proportion of patients over 60 years old,the proportion of patients receiving surgical treatment,the proportion of patients receiving radiotherapy,and the proportion of patients receiving chemotherapy in the married group were higher than those in the unmarried group(P＜0.05).Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis results showed that,the 3-month and 5-year survival rates between married and unmarried groups were Log-rank test P＜0.05.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that,age over 60 years old,later tumor stage,surgical treatment,radiotherapy,and chemotherapy were risk factors for survival in adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(P＜0.05).Kalplan Meier survival curve results showed that,there was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between married and unmarried adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who received surgical treatment(Log-Rank test P=0.381).There was a significant difference in the 5-year survival rate between married and unmarried adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have not received surgical treatment(Log-Rank test P=0.015).There was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between married and unmarried adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who received radiotherapy(Log-Rank test P=0.073).There was a significant difference in the 5-year survival rate between married and unmarried adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have not received radiotherapy(Log-Rank test P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between married and unmarried adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who received chemotherapy(Log-Rank test P=0.337).There was a significant difference in the 5-year survival rate between married and unmarried adult patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have not received chemotherapy(Log-Rank test P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in the survival status of male patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in adults of different marital statuses(Log-Rank test P=0.136).There were differences in the survival status of female patients with primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in adults of different marital statuses(Log-Rank test P＜0.001).Conclusion:Male,white,and over 60 years old are risk factors for the occurrence of primary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in adults.Among them,more than half of the patients did not receive surgery or radiotherapy treatment,and about half of the patients did not receive chemotherapy.Married individuals are more likely than unmarried individuals to undergo anti-tumor treatments such as surgery,radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The staging of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and whether surgery or chemotherapy is received are independent predictors of long-term survival.Marital status is not an independent predictor and can indirectly affect long-term survival.Male marital status has no significant survival benefits for this disease,while female marital status has survival benefits for this disease.The marital status of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have not undergone radiotherapy,chemotherapy,or surgical intervention has a significant impact on their survival outcomes.

Objective To fabricate nanosilicate functionalized polycaprolactone(PCL/LAP)electrospun membrane and evaluate its role in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)-induced bone repairing.Methods The PCL/LAP electrospun membranes were fabricated via electrospinning technology and co-cultured with rat BMSCs.The cytocompatibility of the membranes was evaluated through cytoskeleton staining,live/dead cell staining and CCK-8 assay.The migration capacity of BMSCs was assessed using scratch assay,Transwell migration experiments and expression of migration-related genes(Pdgf and Tgfβ)was evaluated by qRT-PCR.The os-teogenic differentiation and pro-angiogenesis potential were determined by alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining,alizarin red staining,expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes(Alp,Col1a1,Runx2,Bglap and Bmp2)and angiogenesis-related genes(Angpt1,Fgf2 and Vegfa)along with RUNX2 protein expression.PCL and PCL/LAP electrospun membranes conditioned medium was subsequently used to stimulate vascular endothelial cells(EAhy926).The expression of angiogenesis-associated genes(KDR,ENOS and HIF1A)was quantified by qRT-PCR.Results BMSCs adhered well to the surface of the PCL/LAP membranes,with no significant impact on cell viability(P＞0.05).PCL/LAP membranes not only promoted the proliferation(P＜0.05),migration(P＜0.05),but also enhanced ALP activity and mineralized nodule formation(P＜0.05),increased osteogenic differentiation gene and protein expression(P＜0.05)of BMSCs.Moreover,PCL/LAP promoted the expression of angiogenic genes of BMSCs(P＜0.05),to indirectly regulate angiogenesis-related gene expression in vascular endothelial cells(P＜0.05).Conclusion PCL/LAP electrospun membranes exhibit excellent biocompatibility and can promote proliferation,migration,osteogenic differentiation and BMSC-mediated angiogenic differentiation,showing great potential for bone defect repairing as barrier membrane.
