Objective:To explore the characteristics of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods:Cerebrospinal fluids from patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and healthy controls attending the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2023 to October 2024 were collected and analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry, and T and NK cell characteristics were summarized and compared in the two groups. The proposed time-series analysis was used to explore the differentiation trajectories of T cells and NK cells.Results:A total of 3 patients with RRMS and 3 healthy controls underwent scRNA-seq, and 6 patients with RRMS and 4 healthy controls underwent flow cytometry. The composition of cerebrospinal fluid T and NK cell subtypes was similar in the RRMS group and the healthy control group, but the proportion of the cell subtypes differed. The RRMS group exhibited significantly higher frequencies of CD4 +Naive T- IL7R [1 529/9 055(16.89%) vs 1 423/9 910(14.36%), χ2=22.980, P<0.001], CD4 +Naive T- CCR7 [1 573/9 055(17.37%) vs 948/9 910(9.57%), χ2=250.114, P<0.001], and CD4 +Naive T- LTB [1 369/9 055(15.12%) vs 1 079/9 910(10.89%), χ2=75.336, P<0.001] subsets compared to controls. Conversely, the control group demonstrated greater proportions of CD4 +Th1- GZMA [1 255/9 910(12.66%) vs 719/9 055(7.94%), χ2=113.213, P<0.001] and CD8 +Tem- GZMK cells [1 607/9 910(16.22%) vs 1 232/9 055(13.61%), χ2=25.326, P<0.001] than the RRMS group. The transcription factors and gene expression of each T cell subtype were also different between the 2 groups, and CD4 initial T cells and CD8 effector T cells were located at the beginning and the end of the differentiation trajectory, respectively. Conclusions:The cerebrospinal fluid of MS patients is characterized by increased expression of genes involved in T cell differentiation and over-activation of immune cells.

Objectives To understand the quality status of disinfection products in the market in Shaanxi Province, and to provide a basis for taking targeted management measures. Methods From 2020 to 2023, in accordance with the national disinfection product management regulations and standards, the physicochemical and microbial tests of disinfection products in Shaanxi Province were carried out through supervised sampling, and the test results were analyzed according to the active ingredients, illegal addition, stability, and bactericidal or bacteriostatic performance. Results The overall qualification rate of the active ingredient content of disinfectants sampled in Shaanxi Province was 90.48%, with the lowest qualification rate in 2023 (84.38%). The overall qualification rate of quantitative sterilization test of disinfectants was 90.12%, showing a decreasing trend year by year (P=0.272). The overall qualification rate of anti-bacterial products was 88.59%, and the bactericidal test results of 20 antibacterial products were all qualified. The overall qualification rate of bacteriostatic performance testing for bacteriostatic products was 86.17%, with the pass rate of bacteriostatic product germicidal efficacy testing of different components in descending order being quaternary ammonium salt/silver ion > guanidine > others > lysozyme, and there was statistically significant difference (P=0.004). The detection rate of illegal additives in antimicrobial products was 7.07%, with the main detection indicators being miconazole nitrate, clobetasol propionate, and dexamethasone acetate. Conclusion The qualified rate of disinfection products in Shaanxi Province is relatively high, but there is a downward trend. It is necessary to continue to strengthen the daily supervision and product testing of disinfection product manufacturers, and promote the continuous improvement of disinfection product quality.

Objective To explore the predictive value of heart rate variability(HRV)for long-term prognosis in elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease(CHD)based on dynamic electro-cardiogram(ECG).Methods A retrospective trial was conducted on 402 elderly patients with sta-ble CHD admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to December 2018,and all of them were fol-lowed up for 5 years.According to occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)or not,they were divided into a MACE group(n=102)and a control group(n=300).The main clin-ical characteristics and differences in HRV were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis and ROC curve analysis were used.Results Advanced age,larger ratio of diabetes,more severe coronary artery stenosis,and higher low-frequency power and ratio of low-frequency power/high-frequency power,but lower left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and high-frequency power were observed in the MACE group than the control group(P＜0.01).There was also statistical difference in use of hypoglycemic drugs between the two groups during the follow-up period(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes,age ≥80 years,LVEF＜50％,coronary artery stenosis ≥70％and ratio of low-frequency power/high-frequency power＞1.16 were independent influencing factors for MACE in elderly patients with stable CHD within 5 years(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value for low-frequency power and ratio of low-frequency power/high-frequency power in predic-ting MACE occurrence within 5 years was 0.801(95％CI:0.749-0.854,P=0.000)and 0.798(95％CI:0.752-0.844,P=0.000),respectively,and the value of high-frequency power in predic-ting the absence of MACE was 0.629(95％CI:0.566-0.692,P=0.000).Conclusion HRV is an independent influencing factor for MACE occurrence within 5 years in elderly patients with stable CHD,and it shows certain predictive value for MACE occurrence within 5 years in these patients.

AIM: To evaluate the refractive status through computer refractometer and OPD-Scan III auto refractometer in cataract patients after extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens implantation.METHODS: Retrospective observational study. A total of 61 cases(76 eyes)that received phacomulsification and implanted with TECNIS® Symfony ZXR00 intraocular lens in Shanghai Eye Diseases Prevention & Treatment Center from May 2022 to May 2023 were collected. Measurements from the computer refractometer, OPD-Scan III auto refractometer, and subjective refraction, were taken from all patients on the same day postoperatively.RESULTS: There were statistical significant difference in sphere(S)and spherical equivalent(SE)readings from the computer refractometer and subjective refraction(all P<0.01), with mean differences of -0.67±0.37 D and -0.75±0.35 D, respectively, and the S and SE obtained from computer refractometer more incline to myopia than those from subjective refraction; there were statistical significant difference in computer refractometer and subjective refraction(P<0.01), with a relative small absolute difference(0.21±0.24 D). The S, cylinder(C)and SE of computer refractometer(S, C, SE)were positively correlated with subjective refraction(r=0.7994, 0.7929, and 0.8118, respectively, all P<0.01). Additionally, there were statistical significant differences in S, C and SE of OPD-Scan Ⅲ and subjective refraction(P<0.01), and the absolute differences of S(0.63±0.36 D), C(0.35±0.26 D)and SE(0.53±0.36 D)were small. Furthermore, the S, C and SE of OPD-Scan Ⅲ were positively correlated with subjective refraction(r=0.4410, 0.4982, 0.5224, all P<0.01).CONCLUSION: In patients who received implantation of EDOF lenses, the consistency of computer refractometer, OPD-Scan III auto refractometer and subjective refraction was good. The average difference of the S and SE obtained via computer refractometer was large, but both exhibited a myopic shift relative to those derived from subjective refraction, and the C values demonstrated minimal discrepancy. Furthermore, the differences between OPD-Scan III auto refractometer and subjective refraction were small, but the direction of the difference is unstable, sometimes it is myopic deviation, while sometimes it is hyperopic deviation.

Objective:To investigate whether long non-coding RNA(lncRNA) AW112010 can improve insulin resistance in aging adipocytes through the miR-204/POU2F2 signaling pathway.Methods:In vivo experiment: C57BL/6 mice were divided into young control group(4 months old) and aging model group(18 months old) based on body weight. The expression levels of AW112010, miR-204-5p, POU2F2, aging related indicators(p16, p21), and insulin signaling pathway genes [insulin receptor(INSR), insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS1), phosphatidylinositol kinase(PI3K), protein kinase B(AKT)] in epididymal adipose tissue were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. In vitro experiment: Using adriamycin(ADR) to induce 3T3-L1 aging adipocyte model, β-gal staining was used to observe cellular senescence, and miR-204 inhibitor and miR-204 mimic small interfering RNA were successfully constructed and transfected into 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Results:RT-qPCR and Western blot results showed that compared with the young group, the expression of AW112010 in the adipose tissue of aging mice was increased, while the expression of miR-204-5p was decreased. The expressions of POU2F2, p16, and p21 in the adipose tissue of aging mice were increased, while the expressions of INSR, IRS1, PI3K, GLUT4 mRNA and protein were decreased. The β-gal stainging results showed that the number of 3T3-L1 senescent adipocytes induced by ADR was significantly increased, and the expression levels of AW112010, POU2F2, p16, and p21 in ADR-induced senescent adipocytes were increased compared with the control group, while the expression levels of miR-204-5p, INSR, IRS1, PI3K, GLUT4 were decreased, and remaining glucose in the culture medium was increased. Compared with control, overexpression of miR-204 resulted in decreased expressions of aging indicators p16, p21, and target gene POU2F2 while the expressions of INSR and GLUT4 were increased.Conclusion:Upregulation of lncRNA AW112010 in adipocytes of aging mice may induce insulin resistance by targeting miR-204-5p/POU2F2/IRS1.
