Abstract
In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.

BACKGROUND:Calcium phosphate(CaP)coatings are widely used to improve the integration of titanium implants into bone but these coatings are associated with risks of infection.It is thus desirable to confer antibacterial properties to CaP coatings. OBJECTIVE:To prepare CaP-MgO composite coatings by impregnating magnesium oxide(MgO)sol into CaP coatings and assess the in vitro antibacterial activities and cytocompatibility. METHODS:An electrolyte was determined by titration and used for CaP coating electrodeposition on titanium(referred to as Ti-CaP).MgO was impregnated into the coating by immersing in an MgO sol with different mass fractions(15%,30%,50%)and subsequently calcined to form MgO-CaP composite coatings,which were recorded as Ti-CaP-15Mg,Ti-CaP-30Mg and Ti-CaP-50Mg,respectively.Microstructure,tensile properties,critical load,and Mg2+ release of coatings in vitro were characterized.Antibacterial activity was assayed using spread plate method by culturing S.aureus on the pure titanium sheet surface and Ti-CaP,Ti-Cap-15mg,Ti-Cap-30mg and Ti-Cap-50mg surfaces for 24 and 48 hours.Mouse osteoblast suspension was inoculated on pure titanium sheets and Ti-CaP,Ti-CaP-15Mg,Ti-CaP-30Mg and Ti-CaP-50Mg coated titanium sheets,respectively.Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay,and cell survival rate was calculated.The morphology of composite coating soaked in DMEM was also observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Homogeneous,microporous CaP coatings consisting of octacaclium phosphate crystal flakes were prepared on titanium by electrodeposition.After sol impregnation-calcination,MgO aggregates were filled into the inter-flake voids.The extent of MgO filling and Mg concentration in the coating increased with the number of sol impregnation procedures.When immersed in phosphate buffered saline,all composite coatings actively released Mg2+ within 1 day;subsequently,the Mg2+ release slowed down on day 3.A small amount of Mg2+ release was still detected on day 7.The yield strength,tensile strength and fracture growth rate of Ti-CaP-30Mg coated titanium were not significantly different from those of pure titanium(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the critical load of Ti-CaP,Ti-CaP-15Mg,Ti-CaP-30Mg and Ti-CaP-50Mg groups(P>0.05).(2)Except that pure titanium sheet and Ti-CaP had no antibacterial properties,the other samples had good antibacterial properties,and the antibacterial rate increased with the increase of MgO content in the coating.(3)After 1 and 3 days of co-culture,the cell survival rate of Ti-CaP-15Mg,Ti-CaP-30Mg and Ti-CaP-50Mg groups was lower than that of pure titanium group and Ti-CaP group(P<0.05).After 5 and 7 days of culture,there was no significant difference in cell survival rate among five groups(P>0.05).The content of MgO in the coating decreased gradually with the time of immersion in the medium.(4)The MgO sol impregnation added antibacterial properties to the CaP coatings while retained their biocompatibility.

Objective:To summarize the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of a case of autosomal dominant mental retardation-42 (MRD42) caused by GNB1 gene mutation. Methods:The clinical and genetic data of a case of MRD42 caused by a GNB1 gene missense mutation diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The child was followed-up, the child′s data were summarized, and related literature was reviewed. Results:The patient is a 6-month-old female infant, who was admitted to hospital because of "developmental delay for 3 months, intermittent convulsions for 1 month". The clinical manifestations included generalized tonic-clonic seizures, focal seizures, intellectual disability, delayed language and motor development. Long-term video electroencephalogram showed slightly slower background activity, bilateral occipital spike and wave discharges, multispike and wave complexes during sleep. Three focal onset seizures were captured. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging suggested that the subarachnoid space of the bilateral frontotemporal areas was slightly wide. Chromosome karyotype and copy number variation analysis showed no abnormality. The results of whole exon sequencing showed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation in the GNB1 gene [NM_002074:c.155(exon5)G>A;p.Arg52Gln], which had not been reported. The seizure was effectively controlled by function rehabilitation training and anti-epileptic drug therapy. Conclusions:MRD42 is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutation in the GNB1 gene. The clinical manifestations include infantile-onset seizures, mental retardation, speech and motor development delay, etc. The de novo heterozygous missense mutation in the GNB1 gene c.155G>A(p.Arg52Gln) is the genetic cause of the proband.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process and to primarily evaluate the anti-anxiety and anti-depression efficacy of polysaccharide from Baihe dihuang decoction. METHODS Based on Plackett-Burman experimental design, using the comprehensive score of yield and content of polysaccharide as indicators, with extraction time, water amount, alcohol precipitation concentration as factors, Box-Behnken response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction process of polysaccharide from Baihe dihuang decoction; and the validation test was conducted. Forty ICR mice were divided into control group, venlafaxine group [positive control, 13.5 mg/(kg·d)], Baihe dihuang polysaccharide high-dose and low-dose groups [5.28, 2.64 g/(kg·d),by raw material], with 10 mice in each group (half male and half female). Administration groups were given corresponding drug solution intragastrically, and control group was given water 10 mL/kg intragastrically, once a day, for 7 test, forced swimming test and tail suspension test were used to evaluate the effects of the extract prepared by the optimal process on the anxiety-like and depression-like behavior of mice; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the effects of the extract on the levels of neurotransmitter in cerebral tissue of mice. RESULTS The optimal extraction process of Baihe dihuang decoction was: the water amount of 25 times, extract time of 1.5 hours, and alcohol precipitation concentration of 70%. In 3 times of validation test, the average yield and content of polysaccharide were 33.10% and 0.62 mg/mg, the relative deviations of which from the predicted values (36.14% and 0.65 mg/mg) were 8.40% and 4.62% respectively (RSD<2%, n=3). The polysaccharide extract of Baihe dihuang decoction could effectively increase the percentages of open-arms entry, the percentages of open-arms time, the total distance of voluntary activities and the activity distance in central area, and significantly shortened the immobility time of forced swimming test and tail suspension test (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The polysaccharide extract could significantly increase the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine, norepinephrine (except for the Baihe dihuang polysaccharide low-dose group) and gamma-aminobutyric acid in cerebral tissue of mice, while significantly decrease the levels of glutamic acid (except for the Baihe dihuang polysaccharide low-dose group) (P<0.05 or P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The optimized extraction process of polysaccharide from Baihe dihuang decoction is stable and feasible, and the obtained polysaccharide extract has obvious anti-anxiety and anti-depression effect in vivo.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients with positive axillary lymph nodes turned to clinical negative after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods:Full-text journal databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Wanfang, VIP, and CNKI were searched to include research literature on sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer patients who had axillary lymph nodes turned negative after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The retrieval time was self-established to November 2020. Meta-analysis was performed on the literature that met the inclusion criteria. Heterogeneity among studies was analyzed by I2 test. If I2<30%, the heterogeneity among studies was considered to be small. If the value of I2 was between 30% and 70%, it was considered that there was a certain heterogeneity among the studies. If I2> 70%, it was considered that there was great heterogeneity among the studies. Small heterogeneity was analyzed by fixed effects model, otherwise, random effects model was used. Publication bias was evaluated by funnel plot and Egger′s test. Results:Finally, 14 literatures were included, including 4 Chinese literatures and 10 English literatures. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the sentinel lymph node detection rate was 90.7% and the false negative rate was 12.2%.Conclusions:In breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node turning negative, the detection rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy can meet the acceptable clinical standard for sentinel lymph node biopsy, but the false negative rate is still higher than the clinically acceptable standard. It is necessary to screen suitable patients and apply new techniques to reduce the false negative rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy.
