Objective To evaluate the feasibility of imaging the rat cardiac conduction system (CCS) using transaortic antegrade perfusion of Alexa Fluor 633-labeled antibodies targeting hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel 4 (HCN4) and connexin (Cx). The study also sought to optimize antibody dosage, perfusion duration, and assess the photostability of the dye. Methods Ex vivo rat heart model with transaortic antegrade perfusion was established using 33 male SPF-grade Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Primary and secondary antibody solutions were sequentially perfused in an antegrade manner. After perfusion for predetermined durations, the atrioventricular junction was observed, and the fluorescence intensity of the corresponding area was recorded. Five dose-gradient groups (n=3 rats/group), five perfusion time-gradient groups (n=3 rats/group), and ten continuous LED light exposure time-gradient groups (using 3 rats prepared with a fixed dose and time) were established to observe and record regional fluorescence intensity. Standard immunofluorescence staining was performed on both paraffin and frozen sections for comparative histological analysis. Results A region of aggregated red fluorescent signal was observed in the atrioventricular junction. Following semi-quantitative fluorescence intensity analysis of HCN4/Cx43 and validation through comparative histology, this structure was identified as the atrioventricular node (AVN) region. The AVN-to-background fluorescence intensity ratio showed no statistically significant differences among groups with increasing antibody dosage (P>0.05). The ratio increased with longer antibody perfusion times. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences in the ratio were observed among groups with extended light exposure (P>0.05). Conclusion Transaortic antegrade perfusion of fluorescently labeled antibodies can successfully image the AVN within the CCS of ex vivo rat hearts. Increasing the antibody dosage does not significantly improve the AVN imaging effect. Longer antibody perfusion time results in better imaging quality of the AVN. The fluorescent dye maintains sufficient visualization of the AVN even after prolonged (8 h) exposure to light.

Objective:To explore the short-term oncological efficacy of the total prostatic urethra preservation(TPUP)technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and its impact on postoperative urinary continence rate.Methods:The clinical data of 17 prostate cancer patients admitted to Shaoxing People’s Hospital from July 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The age was(70.5 ± 6.5)years,the body mass index was(23.6 ± 2.5)kg/m 2,and the prostate-specific antigen(PSA)level was(7.845 ± 3.929)ng/ml. The preoperative biopsy pathological Gleason score were 6 in 8 cases,and 7 in 9 cases. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy,and the TPUP technique was used during the operation. The integrity of the preserved urethra was improved by preserving the prostatic surgical capsule closely attached to the corpus spongiosum of the urethra. During the operation,the urethra was completely preserved in 2 cases,nearly completely preserved in 14 cases,and partially preserved in 1 case. The recovery of urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was recorded. Recovery of urinary continence was defined as pad within 24 hours. PSA was re - examined at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation. Results:All 17 operations in this study were successfully completed. The operation time was(143.6 ± 31.6)minutes,and the intraoperative blood loss was 50.0(20.0,50.0)ml. None of the cases was converted to open surgery,and no Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 2 complications such as blood transfusion or intestinal injury occurred during the peri-operative period. The PSA levels at 6 weeks and 3 months after the operation were 0.054(0.008,0.215)ng/ml and 0.008(0.005,0.037)ng/ml,respectively. The indwelling catheter time after the operation was(13.4 ± 2.1)days. The number of cases with recovered urinary continence on the day of catheter removal and at 1 and 3 months after the operation was 10,15,and 17,respectively.Conclusions:The TPUP technique in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy leads to good recovery of postoperative urinary continence,and there is a slowly PSA decrease in the short term.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a kind of prevalent neurodegenerative disorders characterized by motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, tremor and muscle rigidity, as well as non-motor symptoms such as neuropsychiatric symptoms, autonomic dysfunction and sleep-wake disorders; these symptoms seriously affect the quality of life of patients. The current diagnosis and treatment as well as long-term management still face some deficiencies, such as lack of highly sensitive biomarkers for early diagnosis, relatively subjective clinical comprehensive assessment, individualized treatment strategies mainly formulated based on subjective cognition and clinical experience of physicians, and absence of long-term management data. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), it has demonstrated significant application potential and value in diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of PD. This article reviews the recent advances of AI in the above-mentioned fields of PD, with the aim of providing references for improving clinical diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of PD.

A virus was successfully isolated from a sick cat exhibiting clinical signs such as oral mu-cosal ulceration,nasal mucosal redness,and increased nasal secretions utilizing F81 cells.Through a comprehensive analysis as such PCR amplication,sequencing,morphology,serology,and animal re-gression tests,the virus was identified as a feline calicivirus and named FCV-BJ,an inactivated vac-cine was developed from this isolated strain its safety and efficacy were assessed.The results re-vealed that the isolated FCV-BJ strain exhibited characteristic serological and morphological fea-tures consistent with caliciviruses.Furthermore,inoculation of cats with the FCV-BJ demonstrated the strain is highly virulent and the cats manifested the clinical signs of feline calicivirus infection.For the vaccination trial,domestic cats were immunized with inactivated fifth-generation virus cell culture at varying dilutions,followed by a booster immunization after 21 days.Fourteen days after the challenge with the virus,cats immunized with 107.0 TCID50/mL or higher remained largely healthy,while all cats in the control group developed clinical signs of FCV.These findings suggest that the inactivated vaccine derived from the FCV-BJ isolate exhibits strong immunogenicity and protective efficacy at a minimum immunization dose of 107.0 TCID50/mL.This strain holds promise as a candidate for vaccine production,providing a valuable reference and foundation for future re-search and development of feline calicivirus vaccines.
