This study aims to investigate the changes in blood biochemical indicators of tongue roll-ing(TR)behavior in cattle and their correlation with changes in oral microbiota,laying a founda-tion for further exploring the relationship between animal oral microbiota,biochemical indicators,and behavioral changes.It also provides theoretical basis for preventing and treating TR behavior through regulating oral microbiota.This study intends to analyze and compare the blood biochemi-cal indicators and changes in oral microbiota of cattle with TR behavior and healthy cattle without TR behavior(healthy control,H),in order to explore the blood biochemical indicators of TR cattle and their correlation with changes in oral microbiota.Blood samples from the caudal vein of cattle in each group were collected for the detection of blood biochemical indicators and stress-related hormone indicators.Oral swabs from cattle in each group were collected for 16S rRNA gene se-quencing to analyze the composition,structure,and functional changes of their oral microbiota.The results of blood biochemical indicators in H and TR groups showed that the concentrations of al-bumin(ALB),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),calcium ion(Ca2+),and cortisol in TR group were significantly higher than those in H group(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in beta diversity of oral microbiota between TR and H groups(P＜0.05).At the genus level,the rela-tive abundances of Pseudomonas,Enterobacter,Xanthomonas,and other genera in the oral micro-biota of TR group were significantly higher than those in H group(P＜0.05).However,the rela-tive abundances of Tessaracoccus,Turicibacter,Monoglobus,Dietzia,Bifidobacterium,and other genera in the oral microbiota of TR group were significantly lower than those in H group(P＜0.05).In the KEGG metabolic pathway at the third level,the relative abundances of thiamine me-tabolism,lipoate metabolism,cysteine and methionine metabolism in the oral microbiota of TR group were significantly lower than those in H group(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that ALB and AST were significantly positively correlated with the relative abundances of Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas.Therelative abundances of Pseudomonas,Stenotrophomonas,and Sphingomonas were significantly positively correlated with fatty acid metabolism,phosphate and phosphonate metabolism,and lipoate metabolism.ALB was significantly positively correlated with inositol phosphate metabolism and phosphate and phosphonate metabolism.The study found that there were significant differences in blood biochemical indicators and oral microbiota between TR and H groups.In addition,there is a certain correlation between the composition,structure,and function of oral microbiota and the biochemical function of the host.This indicates that TR behav-ior may be associated with changes in the biochemical indicators of the host and the composition,structure,and function of oral microbiota.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between the expression level of calumenin(CALU)and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients by bioinformatics tools and establish the prognostic prediction nomogram,and to clarify its possible mechanism.Methods:The data of 374 HCC tissue samples were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database and the data of 160 normal tissue samples were down loaded from Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx)database.Paired sample t-test was used to analyze the difference in CALU expression between the HCC tissue samples and the paired adjacent normal tissue samples.Human Protein Atlas(HPA)database was used to verify the results.DESeq2 package was used to screen the differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between CALU low expression group and CALU high expression group in the HCC tissue samples.R package pROC was used to analyze the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to confirm the prognosis value of CALU in the HCC patients with different clinicopathological characteristics,and ggplot2 package was used to construct the forest plot.R packages rms and survival were used to construct the nomogram and its calibration curve,and the diagnostic value of CALU in distinguishing HCC tissue from normal tissue was analyzed.The data from Kaplan-Meier Plotter database were used to further verify the relationship between CALU and the prognosis of HCC patients.The gene transcriptional expression data of 216 HCC samples obtained from GSE14520 dataset were used to verify the prediction accuracy of the nomogram.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were used to determine the function and enrichment pathways of the DEGs,and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was used to obtain the significantly enriched gene sets of the DEGs.Single-cell sequencing data of 10 HCC tissue samples and 8 adjacent normal tissue samples obtained from GSE149614 dataset were used to verify the relationship between CALU and the prognosis of HCC patients and its mechanism.Results:Compared with normal tissue,the expression level of CALU mRNA in HCC tissue was significantly increased(P＜0.001),and the expression level of CALU protein in HCC samples was also increased.A total of 928 DEGs were identified between CALU low expression group and CALU high expression group in the HCC samples,including 784 upregulated DEGs and 144 downregulated DEGs.The ROC analysis results indicated that CALU showed high diagnostic value in distinguishing cancer tissue from adjacent non-cancer tissue with an area under curve(AUC)of 0.839.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the survival rate of HCC patients in CALU high expression group was significantly lower than that in CALU group low expression(P＜0.001).Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses results demonstrated that high expression of CALU was an independent risk factor of the prognosis in HCC patients,and a prognosis prediction nomogram was constructed.The applicability of nomogram on the prognosis of HCC was verified by GSE14520 dataset.The GO enrichment analysis results showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways related to the oxidative stress,ferroptosis and cuproptosis(P＜0.05).The KEGG enrichment analysis results showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in the pathways related to extracellular matrix(ECM)receptor interaction,linoleic acid metabolism and neuroactive ligand receptor interaction(P＜0.05).The GSEA results showed that high expression of CALU may promote the G1-S phase transition of the cell cycle,ubiquitination protein polymerization and HCC progression,while low expression of CALU may activate oxidative stress,ferroptosis and cuproptosis in HCC cells.Single-cell sequencing analysis results showed that the expression level of CALU mRNA was significantly increased in HCC cells with advanced tumor stages.HCC_CALU_High cell subset was mainly related to ubiquitination,p53 and cell cycle(P＜0.01),and HCC_CALU_Low cell subset was mainly related to oxidative stress,ferroptosis,and histone binding(P＜0.01).Conclusion:The high expression of CALU may be related to the poor prognosis of HCC patients.The constructed nomogram of HCC prognosis shows favourable effect in predicting the survival rate of the HCC patients.The up-regulation of CALU may promote HCC progression by regulating the G1-S phase of the cell cycle and ubiquitination of protein,while down-regulation of CALU may inhibit HCC progression by inducing oxidative stress,ferroptosis and cuproptosis in cells.

Objective:To analyze the associated factors and cumulative effects of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) among residents in southern Xinjiang.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to conduct questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests among the personnel of the 51st Brigade, 3rd Division, Xinjiang, in 2016. The multivariate logistic regression, multivariate linear regression, restricted cubic spline, and network analysis methods were used to study the association of lifestyle (smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity), socioeconomic (occupation, education and marital status) and clinical factors (waist circumference, body mass index and family history) with CMM.Results:A total of 12 773 study subjects were included. The prevalence of cardiovascular metabolic diseases among residents in southern Xinjiang was 52.49%. Specifically, the prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and stroke were 31.14%, 29.95%, 6.78%, 6.26%, and 2.47%, respectively, and the prevalence of CMM was 19.06%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the associations between clinical and socioeconomic factors and CMM significantly increased with higher scores. Specifically, the OR rose from 1.75 (clinical factors) and 1.07 (socioeconomic factors) on a score of 1 to 4.41 and 1.93 on a score of 3, respectively. The association between lifestyle factors and CMM was only observed at higher scores ( OR=1.26, 95% CI:1.07~1.62). The trend test using the scores of each group as continuous variables in the model showed that the risk of disease increased with the accumulation of clinical, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors (all P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated a non-linear relationship between the total number of associated factors and CMM ( Poverall<0.05 and Pnon-linear<0.05). Network analysis identified hypertension (strength=0.42) as the “core node” among the five diseases. When analyzing the three types of influencing factors, hypertension (strength=0.68), dyslipidemia (strength=0.47), coronary heart disease (strength=0.37), and clinical factors (strength=0.53) emerged as “core nodes”. In the network of nine associated factors, abnormal waist circumference and BMI (strength=0.90 and 0.84) were identified as “key factors”, while hypertension (strength=0.68) and dyslipidemia (strength=0.52) were identified as “key diseases”. Conclusion:The prevalence of CMM among residents in southern Xinjiang is high, and there is a cumulative effect of multiple factors. Hypertension and dyslipidemia are key diseases in the multimorbidity network, while abnormal BMI and waist circumference are key associated factors.

Bovine coronavirus(BCoV)can cause diarrhea in calves,as well as respiratory diseases,and lead to the death of calves in severe cases,resulting in great economic losses to the cattle pro-duction.BCoV is highly prevalent and widely spread.So far in China there is no independently de-veloped vaccine against BCoV on the market.In this study,the most conserved N gene of BCoV was first selected to construct a prokaryotic expression vector,and the N protein was expressed and purified;subsequently,BALB/c mice were immunized with BCoV N protein combined with Freund's adjuvant,and the antibody potency,the proportion of splenic T-lymphocyte subpopulation and the cytokine release of the immunized mice were detected by ELISA and flow cytometry.The results showed that a soluble BCoV N protein about 55 kDa in size was successfully obtained.The ELISA test showed that the antibody potency of serum IgG and IgA was 1∶51 200 and 1∶3 200,respectively,in mice immunized with BCoV N protein combined with Freund's adjuvant.The flow cytometry test showed that the percentage of CD4+/CD8+T-lymphocytc subsets was extremely higher in the immunized mice(P＜0.01),and the release of TNF-α was significantly higher(P＜0.05),producing a cellular immune response biased towards the Th1 type in comparison with that in control mice.It is indicated that the soluble expression of BCoV N protein can be successfully a-chieved by the prokaryotic expression system,and the obtained BCoV N protein presents good im-munogenicity which induces strong humoral,mucosal and cellular immune responses in the immu-nized mice.Our study provides an important technical support for the development of a safe and ef-fective BCoV subunit vaccine.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To prepare hydroxyapatite(HA)coating on polyether ether ketone(PEEK)surface by magnetron sputtering technique and to study its biosafety.Methods:Sulfonated PEEK was used to increase the binding area and HA coating was constructed on it using magnetron sputtering technology.SEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDAX)were used to detect the construction effect.Cell adhesion assay,cytoskeletal fluorescence staining and SEM validation were used to assess cytologrcal safety.In vivo safety tests were conducted in SD rats and golden hamsters.Results:HA coating with gradient morphology was successfully constructed on the PEEK surface using above technique.The coating promoted cell adhesion,extension and proliferation.No systemic toxicity and no sig-nificant influence in HE staining of the main infernal organs samples were observed.The coating alleviated the oral mucosal irritation caused by simple sulfonation to a certain extent.Conclusion:HA coating can be prepared stably with magnetron sputtering technology and can meet the biosafety needs for clinical applications.

OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical profile,prognosis,and risk factors of extrapulmonary metastasis in adenoid cystic carcinoma patients.METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 126 patients diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma at Beijing Tongren Hospital between January 2002 and December 2020.Of these patients,21 cases had metastases outside the lungs as their initial site of metastasis,while 105 cases had lungs as the initial site of distant metastasis.In addition,clinical data of patients diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma from the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results(SEER)database in the United States from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed for prognosis.RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that factors such as N stage,neurological symptoms,pathological subtype,grading,Ki67,neural invasion,and p63 status were associated with extrapulmonary metastasis(χ2=5.385,9.888,20.485,15.579,8.711,5.476,5.280;all P values<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that N stage,pathological grading,and neurological symptoms were correlated with an increased risk of extrapulmonary metastasis.Survival analysis indicated lower cumulative survival and progression-free survival rates in the initial extrapulmonary metastasis group(both P values<0.05).CONCLUSION The initial metastasis site in adenoid cystic carcinoma is associated with multiple factors including N stage,pathological grading,and neurological symptoms.Patients displaying a solid subtype and those accompanied by high-grade transformation are more prone to extrapulmonary metastasis.Patients with extrapulmonary metastasis as their initial diagnosis typically exhibit poorer prognosis.
