In order to investigate the related pathogens and reveal the etiological characteristics of gout in goslings,191 typical clinical cases from partial regions of China were examined by RT-PCR/PCR detection of viral nucleic acids in domestic poultry and pathological analysis.The autop-sy results show that the clinical cases could be classified into three types based on the severity of urate deposition:severe,moderate,and mild,namely systemic urate deposition,local urate deposi-tion mainly in the liver and kidneys,and only a small amount of fine-grained urate deposition in the liver,gallbladder,or glandular stomach.The results of RT-PCR/PCR detection showed that the to-tal positive rates were as follows:GAstV Group2 63.9％,GAstV Group1 50.3％,AAstV-2 38.7％,novel Muscovy duck parvovirus(NPV)17.8％,GPV 16.2％,GoCV 12.6％,MDPV 7.9％,MDRV 8.4％,DPV 0.5％,GPMV and NDV 0.5％,the AstV-1、ARV、TMUV、NDV、FAdV、GHPyV were zero.Among all the postive samples,the rates of single positive,double positive,and multiple posi-tive were 18.3％,27.2％,and 44.0％,respectively.The rate of single positive samples containing AAstV was only 12.0％,the double or multiple positive samples containing GAstV Group 1/2 was 60.7％,and the rate of samples without GAstV Group 1/2 was 10.5％.The results also showed that 20(10.5％)samples were negative for 16 types of viruses.The AAstV particles isolated from single positive samples appear spherical shape,non-enveloped and 20-80 nm minsize.Two types of virus particles which with spherical shape and diameters of 40-100 and 20-40 nm can be isolated from the negative samples.The virus inoculation results show that the goose embryos can be led to death by clinical GAstV isolates,which with classic histopathological characteristics.Although the GAstV isolates cannot led to death and obvious typical histopathological change in goslings,the vi-ral nucleic acids can be detected in heart,liver,spleen,kidney,intestine and cloacal anal swabs.The above results indicated that there were multiple pathogens co-infection dominated by AAstv in Gosling gout in China,including cross species infections of multiple AAstVs,parvovirus,ARV and suspec-ted novel viruses.Moreover,the GAstV maybe not the only pathogen causing gout in goslings.

Objective:To investigate the current status and related factors of antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in rural communities in China.Methods:In 2023, 866 chronic HBV-infected individuals from rural communities in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, were included in the study. Basic information, disease status and antiviral treatment conditions of the infected individuals were collected through questionnaires, specimen collection and laboratory tests. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the related factors of the antiviral treatment rate of those who met the indications for hepatitis B antiviral treatment.Results:The median age ( Q1, Q3) of subjects was 56 (48, 66) years old, among which 436 (50.4%) were males. There were 712 (82.2%) individuals who met the indications for hepatitis B antiviral treatment, and 110 individuals received antiviral treatment with a rate of 15.5%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with males, families with an average monthly income per capita of <1 000 yuan, no alcohol consumption, no smoking, and a family history of HBV infection, females ( OR=4.66, 95% CI: 2.88-7.53), families with an average monthly income per capita of 1 000-1 999 yuan ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.00-2.68) and ≥2 000 yuan ( OR=2.78, 95% CI: 1.54-5.03), alcohol consumption ( OR=6.42, 95% CI: 2.80-14.7), smoking ( OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.04-3.77), and no family history of HBV infection ( OR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.16-3.09) had a lower antiviral treatment rate for chronic HBV infection. Conclusion:The antiviral treatment rate of chronic HBV-infected individuals in rural communities of Zhangqiu District, Jinan City is low, and the related factors are female, high monthly income per capita, alcohol consumption, smoking, and no family history of HBV infection.

Objective:To compare the outcomes of simple hysterectomy(SH)and radical hysterectomy(RH)in elderly patients with cervical cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 633 elderly patients with cervical cancer who underwent surgical treatment at Shangqiu First People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020.Among them, 247 patients underwent SH, and 215 patients underwent RH.Propensity score matching was applied, resulting in two groups: 125 patients in the SH group and 124 patients in the RH group.The primary outcome was the pelvic recurrence rate at 2 years of follow-up.Secondary outcomes included the incidence of urinary incontinence and urinary retention.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the recurrence rates between the two groups, and a Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing recurrence rates.Results:After matching, the baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar and comparable(all P>0.05).Kaplan-Meier results showed that, although the pelvic recurrence rate in the SH group was higher than that in the RH group before matching(4.5% vs.2.3%, P<0.05), the pelvic recurrence rates were similar between the two groups after matching(3.2% vs.2.4%, P>0.05).The SH group had significantly lower postoperative complications, including urinary retention(1.6% vs.8.1%, P<0.05), compared to the RH group, while there was no significant difference in the incidence of urinary incontinence(4.0% vs.9.7%)and the risk of cervical cancer-related death(1.6% vs.0.8%)between the two groups( P>0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age( HR=1.254), tumor grade( HR=1.315), and FIGO stage( HR=1.203)were important factors influencing pelvic tumor recurrence during follow-up(all P<0.05). Conclusions:elderly patients with low-risk cervical cancer, the 2-year pelvic recurrence rates for SH and RH are similar.However, SH is associated with a lower risk of urinary incontinence and urinary retention.

Background and purpose:Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8(TNFAIP8),also called TIPE,plays critical regulatory roles in various malignancies,yet its molecular mechanisms in metabolic reprogramming of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)remain elusive.This study aimed to elucidate how TIPE regulates the expression of the glycolytic key enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A to influence TNBC cell proliferation and glycolytic reprogramming,thereby providing potential molecular targets for TNBC therapy.Methods:Stable TIPE-knockdown MDA-MB-231 cell lines were established using a lentiviral shRNA system and selected with puromycin.Transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze TIPE's impact on TNBC glycolytic pathways.Extracellular acidification rate(ECAR)was measured using the Seahorse XF Analyzer,complemented by lactate production assays to evaluate glycolytic capacity.Co-IP/MS was carried out to identify TIPE-interacting proteins,with subsequent validation of TIPE-LDHA interaction through co-transfection of TIPE-Myc and LDHA-Flag plasmids in HEK-293T cells.Protein stability was assessed via cycloheximide(CHX)chase and ubiquitination assays.The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay and animal experiments(Approval Number for Animal Ethics:202212007)were conducted to investigate how TIPE affects the proliferation and glucometabolic reprogramming of TNBC by mediating LDHA.Results:TIPE promoted glycolytic metabolic reprogramming in TNBC.Knockdown of TIPE significantly inhibited TNBC glycolytic activity and glycolytic capacity(P＜0.001).TIPE interacted with the key glycolytic enzyme LDHA and suppressed its degradation rate through a ubiquitination-dependent mechanism.Cellular experiments demonstrated that TIPE mediated LDHA to enhance TNBC cell proliferation(P＜0.001)and glycolytic activity(P＜0.001).Animal studies confirmed that TIPE knockdown significantly suppressed tumor volume(P＜0.05)and weight(P＜0.01),with a positive correlation between TIPE and LDHA expression levels in tumor tissues.Conclusion:TIPE enhances TNBC cell proliferation and glycolytic capacity by inhibiting LDHA ubiquitination-mediated degradation.

Objective:To analyze the allocation of general practitioners per 10 000 population in China and its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for optimizing the allocation of general practitioners resources in China.Methods:The number of general practitioners per 10 000 population and other relevant data of 31 provinces (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) in China from 2012 to 2021 were collected from China Statistical Yearbook, China Health Statistics Yearbook, China Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbook. The geographical area data of 31 provinces (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved from the website of the Central People ′s Government. The influencing factors of the number of general practitioners per 10 000 population were preset by literature analysis and unstructured interview. Taking the number of general practitioners per 10 000 population as the dependent variable, the correlation between it and the preset influencing factors was analyzed by panel data regression. Results:From 2012 to 2021, the average annual growth rate of the number of general practitioners per 10 000 population in each province of China was greater than 0. The factors affecting the number of general practitioners per 10 000 population included the number of people per square kilometer ( r=3.818, P<0.01), the number of beds in medical and health institutions per capita ( r=2.135, P<0.01), the proportion of the elderly population aged 65 and above ( r=0.180, P<0.01), and the proportion of total expenditure in medical and health institutions to gross domestic product ( r=0.080, P<0.01). Conclusions:The development trend of general practitioners resources allocation in China is good, but the government needs to integrate the population agglomeration and aging trend, the allocation of medical and health resources, the investment support for the development of general practitioners and other influencing factors, optimize the allocation of general practitioners resources according to local conditions, and strengthen policy support for areas and links where the allocation of general practitioners resources is relatively weak.
