ObjectiveTo establish a highly specific and sensitive triplex TaqMan quantitative PCR method for the detection of mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), mouse parvovirus (MPV), and reovirus type 3 (Reo-3) in laboratory mice. MethodsRecombinant plasmid standards were constructed using conserved genomic regions of the three target viruses. Specific primers and probes were designed, and a triplex TaqMan quantitative PCR (qPCR) system was optimized through preliminary experiments. Sensitivity was evaluated using 10-fold serial dilutions (101-107 copies/μL). Intra- and inter-assay repeatability were assessed via reproducibility experiments. ResultsA strong linear correlation (R 2>0.99) was observed between copy number and Ct value at template concentrations of 102-107 copies/μL. Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CV) were both below 5%. No cross-reactivity was observed with mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Sendai virus (SeV), or pneumonia virus of mice (PVM). ConclusionThe triplex TaqMan quantitative PCR method established in this study has high sensitivity, good repeatability, and strong specificity. It enables the rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of MHV, MPV, and Reo-3, allows the simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens in a single tube, and can be applied to the detection of clinical samples from laboratory animals and to epidemiological investigations, thereby providing effective scientific and technological support for the prevention and control of viral infection and the interruption of transmission.

The UL54 protein is a nonstructural protein of the pseudorabies virus(PRV).Electron microscopy observations showed that most of particles of recombinant PRV(rPRV-△UL54)with a deletion of the UL54 gene had only a nucleocapsid and lacked an intact vesicle structure.The in-complete structure of the viral particles led to a significant reduction in the infection efficiency of the virus,which could not be applied in the study of the gene function and mechanism of action of UL54.In this study,the UL54 gene was cloned into the lentiviral vector pLVX-IRES-Puro,and af-ter lentiviral transduction,the UL54 gene was integrated into the PK-15 cell genome.A cell line(PK-15-UL54)overexpressing UL54 protein was successfully constructed and characterized by PCR,indirect immunofluorescence assay and protein immunoblotting.Replication was assayed in the PK-15-UL54 cell line after inoculation with UL54 gene deletion virus(rPRV-△UL54-Re).Elec-tron microscopy observation showed that the rPRV-△UL54-Re virus had a complete viral particle structure.Fluorescence microscopy observations showed that rPRV-△UL54-Re virus could normal-ly infect cells and replicate.The results of quantitative PCR assay showed that the replication efficiency of rPRV-△UL54-Re virus increased.Therefore,PK-15-UL54 cell line is an important tool to improve the replication efficiency of UL54 gene deletion recombinant pseudorabies virus and plays an important role in exploring the mechanistic study of UL54 gene regulation of PRV repli-cation.

BACKGROUND:The progression of chronic oral diseases is closely related to the continuous inflammatory response.Anti-inflammatory peptides are expected to become a substitute for traditional anti-inflammatory drugs due to their rich sources,easy absorption by the body and low side effects.OBJECTIVE:To review the types,anti-inflammatory mechanisms,and their application in oral related diseases.METHODS:CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were retrieved,with"polypeptide,anti-inflammatory,immunomodulation,oral inflammatory diseases"as Chinese and English search terms.111 articles related to the classification of anti-inflammatory peptides,anti-inflammatory mechanisms,and application of oral inflammatory diseases were selected for review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Anti-inflammatory peptides are abundant in nature,which can be extracted from plants,animals,and microorganisms.In addition to naturally occurring peptides and protein hydrolysates,peptides synthesized by chemical modification,computer simulation design,and genetic recombination technology can also exert anti-inflammatory effects.The composition,position,and properties of amino acids affect their anti-inflammatory activity.(2)Because the anti-inflammatory mechanism of anti-inflammatory peptides is still unclear,the activity verification is mostly cell experiments,and there is a lack of animal models,clinical trials and other further studies.(3)In the treatment of oral inflammatory diseases(including periodontitis,oral mucositis,caries,pulpitis,suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaw,and peri-implantitis),anti-inflammatory peptides can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors such as interleukin 6,interleukin 1β,and tumor necrosis factor α in oral tissues,regulate inflammatory responses,improve the chronic inflammatory environment,reduce tissue destruction and structural loss,and promote bone tissue regeneration,providing new ideas for the treatment of oral inflammatory diseases.

Heart failure(HF)is the final stage of various cardiovascular diseases.The period of high incidence of death and readmission in patients with HF within 2 to 3 months after discharge is defined as the"vulnerable period".The management of vulnerable period focuses on how to identify high-risk groups with the need of close follow-up and more active intervention.Despite the application of various effective medical treatment and nursing strategies,readmissions in HF patients remain high,which not only poses a significant financial burden on the healthcare system but also carries the prognostic impact of worsening survival associated with repeated hospitalizations.Remote monitoring is a promising approach for early detection of worsening HF and intervention before apparent decompensation.Remote monitoring includes patient reporting of remote vital signs monitoring,wearable devices,information from cardiac implantable electronic devices and invasive remote hemodynamic monitoring.Remote cardiac monitoring devices have developed rapidly.A wide variety of monitoring devices have been developed,and trials have been conducted to explore the availability and safety of remote monitoring devices and their effectiveness in reducing the risk of HF re-hospitalization.Wearable devices are easy to be accepted by patients because of their non-invasive,portable,cost and other factors.

Objective:To investigate the effect of altitude on the risk of pre-eclampsia (PE).Methods:This cross-sectional study included 19 246 pregnant women who delivered in Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020. General clinical data, pregnancy outcomes and neonatal outcomes were collected. The diagnosis of PE was based on the disease diagnosis coding of medical record information system and the Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (2020). According to the altitude of residence, the subjects were divided into low altitude group (9 931 cases), middle altitude group (9 068 cases) and high altitude group (247 cases). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between altitude and the risk of PE, after adjusting for confounding factors such as age, ethnicity, mode of conception, gestational diabetes mellitus, and hemoglobin level.Results:(1) Among the 19 246 pregnant women, 752 (3.91%, 752/19 246) were diagnosed with PE. The incidence of PE in the low altitude group, middle altitude group and high altitude group was 2.95% (293/9 931), 4.91% (445/9 068) and 5.67% (14/247), respectively. With the increase of living altitude, the incidence of PE increased significantly ( P<0.001). (2) The results of univariate logistic analysis showed that compared with the low altitude area, the risk of PE in pregnant women living in the middle altitude area and high altitude area increased by 70% ( OR=1.70, 95% CI: 1.46-1.97; P<0.001) and 98% ( OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.14-3.43; P=0.016). (3) The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after fully adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of PE increased by 40% for every 500 meters of elevation ( OR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.25-1.57; P<0.001). Compared with those living in low altitude areas, the risk of PE in pregnant women living in middle altitude and high altitude areas increased by 72% ( OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.47-2.00; P<0.001) and 100% ( OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.07-3.74; P=0.030). Conclusion:In the high-altitude environment of Gansu Province, the risk of PE gradually increases with the increase of altitude.

Objective:The impact of bystander CD8 + T cells (CD8 + Tbys) within the tumor microenvironment on the prognosis of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear, particularly concerning their infiltration differences at the invasive margin (IM) and tumor center (TC). Methods:We retrospectively collected postoperative specimens from 173 patients with primary early-stage NSCLC who underwent radical surgery at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from 2014 to 2018. Tissue microarrays encompassing IM and TC regions were prepared and subjected to multicolor immunofluorescence staining (CK/CD8/CD103/DAPI). Image processing and phenotype recognition (CD8 + T cells, CK -CD8 +; CD8 + T bys, CK -CD8 +CD103 -) were performed using inFrom software, and automatic quantitative cell density analysis was conducted using R language. Differences in CD8 + T and CD8 + T bys densities at IM and TC were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The relationship between CD8 + T, CD8 + T bys and clinicopathological features was examined using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The impact of CD8 + T and CD8 + T bys on recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier, log-rank, and Cox proportional hazards models. Results:A total of 173 patients with stage ⅠA-ⅡA NSCLC were included, with a recurrence rate of 26.6% (46/173) and a median RFS of 62.3 months (range: 44.7-71.9 months). CD8 + T and CD8 + T bys densities (1/1 000) were significantly higher in the IM region than in the TC region [70(32, 155) vs. 37(18, 88), P<0.001; 25(11, 46) vs. 18(7, 34), P=0.002]. No significant association was found between CD8 + T, CD8 + T bys and age, gender, smoking history, histological type, or pathological stage (all P>0.05). Patients with low-density IM CD8 + T cells had lower RFS compared to those with high-density IM CD8 + T cells ( P=0.021; median RFS not reached), Further analysis revealed that patients with low-density IM CD8 + T bys cell had lower RFS compared to those with high-density IM CD8 + T bys ( P=0.047; median RFS not reached), and low-density IM CD8 + T cell was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence ( HR=1.836, 95% CI:1.007-3.347, P=0.048). Joint analysis of IM and TC revealed that patients with low IM CD8 + T bys and high TC CD8 + T bys had significantly lower RFS compared to the other three groups ( P=0.006), and this combination was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence in early-stage NSCLC ( HR=2.090, 95% CI:1.162-3.760, P=0.014). Conclusions:The spatial distribution of bystander CD8 + T cells within the primary tumor influences the prognosis of patients with early-stage NSCLC. Patients with low-density IM CD8 + T bys and high-density TC CD8 + T bys are more prone to recurrence after radical surgery.

Objective:To explore the structural equation model to explore the levels of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and various risk factors in the feet and ankle of China's occupational population, providing scientific basis for for preventing WMSDs in feet and ankles.Methods:Data of 73497 national occupational epidemiological cases were selected from June 2018 to December 2023 used the Chinese version of the Electronic Questionnaire on Musculoskeletal Disorders. The adverse ergonomic factors and their source classification standard and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate foot and ankle WMSDs and their related risk factors (including individual factors, work organization, work posture, work type, fatigue, etc.) in key occupational groups in China, and structural equation model hypothesis, fitting, verification, and path and intermediary effect analysis were carried out. The model fit evaluation indexes included Chi-square specific degrees of freedom ( χ2/ df), gauge fit index (NFI), Tucker Lewis index (TLI), goodness of Fit index (GFI), adjusted Goodness of Fit index (AGFI) and approximate root mean square error (RMSEA) . Results:A total of 73497 occupational workers were surveyed, with local muscle fatigue and WMSDs incidence rates in the feet and ankles being 17.17% and 12.06%, respectively. The fitting index of the adjusted structural equation model basically meets the standard (GFI=1, AGFI=1, RMESA=0.042, NFI=0.716, TLI=0.663). The top three factors affecting feet and ankle WMSDs are feet and ankle muscle fatigue, work type, and work organization, with standardized path coefficients of 0.221, 0.105, and 0.095, respectively. The top two factors affecting feet and ankle muscle fatigue are work organization and work type, with standardized path coefficients of 0.548 and 0.383, respectively. Feet and ankle muscle fatigue, work type, work organization, and work posture have a direct effect on feet and ankle WMSDs, with effect values of 0.221, 0.105, 0.095, and 0.077, respectively. The organization and type of work can also have indirect effects through feet and ankle muscle fatigue, with effect values of 0.121 and 0.084, respectively.Conclusion:Feet and ankle muscle fatigue has a direct impact on WMSDs, and plays a mediating role between ankle and ankle WMSDs caused by work organization and work type. Feet and ankle muscle fatigue is an important pathway leading to feet and ankle WMSDs. It is recommended that employers and managers detect job fatigue early and take corresponding prevention and intervention measures, which can play a key role in preventing feet and ankle WMSDs.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.
