Objective: To investigate the distribution characteristics of previous infection of human parvovirus B19(HPV B19) among blood donors in Xi 'an, and to provide data support and theoretical basis for formulating individualized and precise blood screening strategies. Methods: A total of 970 qualified blood samples tested at Shaanxi Blood Center from August to September 2024 were randomly selected. The levels of HPV B19 IgG antibodies in the serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The distribution characteristics of the samples were analyzed from the perspectives of age, gender, education level, occupation, blood type and region. Results: The positive rate of HPV B19 IgG antibodies among blood donors in Xi 'an was 25.26%(245/970), which increased gradually with age (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of HPV B19 IgG antibodies among blood donors of different genders, education levels, occupations, or blood types (P>0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that past HPV B19 infection was only related to age (P<0.05). The distribution of positive blood samples in 13 districts and counties of Xi 'an was counted based on the blood collection sites. The results showed that there was no significant global spatial autocorrelation in the distribution of positive samples. Among them, the Weiyang District and Beilin District exhibited a "high-high" cluster (P<0.05), while Chang'an District exhibited a "low-high" cluster (P<0.01). Conclusion: A certain proportion of blood donors in Xi'an showed past infection with HPV B19, which was only correlated with age and demonstrated an upward trend. It is recommended to continue expanding the screening scope and incorporate screening for this virus in blood transfusion processes involving susceptible populations.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which Guijianyu ameliorates podocyte injury in a mouse model of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)induced by advanced glycation endproducts(AGEs).Methods Sixty db/db mouse models of DKD were randomized equally into 5 groups for treatment with saline,Guijianyu extract at 3 doses or irbesartan for 12 weeks,and the changes in renal pathology and structure were observed using transmission electron microscopy,and the expressions of related genes and key proteins were detected using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry.In cultured MPC-5 cells incubated with 50 mg/L AGEs-BSA for 24 h,the effect of different concentrations of Guijianyu extract on cell viability was examined with CCK-8 assay;Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expressions of RAGE,VEGFA,TNF-α,NF-κB(p65),IL-6 and caspase-3,and the mRNA expressions of RAGE,NF-κB(p65),VEGFA and IL-6 were detected with RT-qPCR.Results In mouse models of DKD,treatment with high-dose Guijianyu extract significantly reduced renal expressions of RAGE,VEGFA,NF-κB(p65),and IL-6 proteins and the mRNA expressions of RAGE,NF-κB,and IL-6.In MPC-5 cells,exposure to AGEs significantly reduced cell viability and increased the protein expressions of RAGE,NF-κB(p65),VEGFA,TNF-α,IL-6 and caspase-3(P<0.05)and mRNA expressions of RAGE,NF-κB(p65),VEGFA,and IL-6.Treatment with Guijianyu extract obviously improved cell viability and reduced the expressions of RAGE,NF-κB(p65),VEGFA,TNF-α,IL-6,and caspase-3.Furthermore,Guijianyu extract effectively reversed RAGE agonist-induced elevation of protein expressions of RAGE,VEGFA,TNF-α,IL-6,and caspase-3 and mRNA expressions of RAGE,NF-κB(p65),IL-6,and VEGFA in MPC-5 cells.Conclusion Guijianyu extract ameliorates AGEs-induced mouse renal podocyte injury in DKD by inhibiting the activation of AGEs-RAGE signaling pathway and reducing the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factors.

Objective:To investigate the longitudinal relationships among resilience, social support, and negative emotions in college students.Methods:Questionnaire surveys were administered to 1 739 college students from a university in Hebei Province born in the same year in November 2020 and November 2021 respectively, and 1 183 valid responses were finally obtained. The survey battery comprised the 11-item resilience scale, the social support questionnaire, and the 21-item depression anxiety stress scales. Cross-lagged panel analysis was conducted using Mplus 8.3 software. Mediating effects were tested via the Bootstrap method.Results:The scores of resilience, social support and negative emotion at T1 were 58 (51, 65), 57 (51, 66), and 3 (0, 10), respectively. The scores of resilience, social support and negative emotion at T2 were 59 (48, 66), 56 (44, 65), and 11 (1, 24), respectively. Resilience at T1 and T2 were significantly and positively correlated with social support at T1 and T2 ( r=0.66, 0.75, 0.40, 0.33, all P<0.01), while negatively correlated with negative emotion at T1 and T2( r=-0.45, -0.23, -0.26, -0.24, all P<0.01). Social support at T1 and T2 were negatively correlated with negative emotion at T1 and T2( r=-0.44, -0.28, -0.28, -0.28, all P<0.01). T1 resilience significantly and positively predicted T2 resilience ( β=0.35) and T2 social support ( β=0.15). T1 social support significantly and positively predicted T2 resilience ( β=0.07) and T2 social support ( β=0.35), while negatively predicted T2 negative emotion ( β=-0.15). T1 negative emotion significantly and negatively predicted T2 resilience ( β=-0.06) and T2 social support ( β=-0.07). The total effect of T1 resilience on T2 negative emotion was -0.35, and the mediating effect of T2 social support was -0.09, accounting for 25.71% of the total effect. Conclusion:T2 social support partially mediates the relationship between T1 resilience and T2 negative emotions.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the filling quality of single cone obturation in root canal model with irregular structure (Hus&Kim Ⅴ, Yin Ⅱ-type isthmus) which established by 3D printing technology using slices and radiographic methods, in order to provide reference for clinical practice. METHODS: (1) Extracted fresh premolars with Hus&Kim Ⅴ and Yin-type Ⅱ isthmus were collected and scanned by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), then standard root canal models were designed and printed. Rhodamine B staining and bias fitting were used to verify the availability of the models. (2) 30 root canal models were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different filling methods (n=10). CONTROL GROUP: vertical compaction obturation; Experimental group 1: single cone obturation with 0.06-taper cone (30#); Experimental group 2: single cone obturation with 0.04-taper cone (35#), GuttaFlow 2 as canal sealers. Slices were taken at 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm from the root apex in the direction perpendicular to the long axis of the root and observed under a stereomicroscope to calculate the percentage of filling area (PAV), percentage of gutta-percha-filled area (PGFA), percentage of sealer filled area (PSFA). (3) On the basis of the above results, two groups (n=4) were selected to further analyze the filling quality by micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT), the filling volume of main root canal and the isthmus were obtained, and the percentage of filling volume (PFV) was calculated. Two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the differences between the groups, and Tukey' s multiple comparison was used to compare the data between the groups and within the groups. RESULTS: (1) Rhodamine B staining solution could overflow the apical foramen, and the main root canal system and the isthmus area were stained, showed no remnants of support material. The 3D standard deviation of the printed model data was 0.03 mm, and the average fitting distance was 0.02 mm. (2) The PFA of the two experimental groups were both significantly lower than that of the control group (F=45.04, P < 0.01). There was no statistical difference of the PFA at apical 2 and 4 mm between the two experimental groups (P>0.01), but at the middle and coronal portions of the root canal (6, 8 mm), the PFA of the experimental group 1 was higher than that of the experimental group 2 (P < 0.01). PFA in the apical 2, 4 mm of the two experimental groups were both lower than that in the middle and coronal portions 6, 8 mm of the canal (P < 0.01). There was no difference in the PGFA and PSFA between the two experimental groups at the apical 2, 4 mm (F=2.383, P>0.01). (3) The results of Micro-CT showed that the PFV of the experimental group 1 was statistically different with the control group (F=47.33, P < 0.01). The PFV of the experimental group 1 was 54.33%±4.35% in the isthmus and 78.31%±4.21% in the main root canal, which were both lower than the PFV of the control group of 76.48%±4.89% (isthmus) and 86.90%±3.29% (main root canal, P < 0.01). The PFV of the main root canal in the experimental group 1 was higher than that in the isthmus (P < 0.01), while there was no difference between the isthmus and the main root canal in the control group (P>0.01). CONCLUSION In the irregular root canal structure with isthmus, using large-taper gutta-percha can improve the filling quality of the middle and upper part of the canal, but the percentage of filling volume in the isthmus is lower than that of the main canal, and more technical improvements are needed.

In MPC-5 cells, exposure to AGEs significantly reduced cell viability and increased the protein expressions of RAGE, NF‑κB (p65), VEGFA, TNF-α, IL-6 and caspase-3 (P<0.05) and mRNA expressions of RAGE, NF-κB (p65), VEGFA, and IL-6. Treatment with Guijianyu extract obviously improved cell viability and reduced the expressions of RAGE, NF-κB(p65), VEGFA, TNF-α, IL-6, and caspase-3.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of 5th generation mobile communication technology(5G) remote robot-assisted cholecystectomy on postoperative recovery and quality of life in patients with gallstones.Methods:Clinical data of patients who underwent 5G remote robotic cholecystectomy(20 cases) vs traditional robotic cholecystectomy(20 cases) at Gansu Provincial People's Hospital from May to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative and postoperative related indexes were compared between the two groups, and changes in pain analog scores before, 12 hours, and 24 hours after surgery, and global quality of life (GIQLI) scores before and 3 months after surgery were evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of intraoperative and postoperative conditions (intraoperative blood loss, operative time, time to exhaustion, and length of hospital stay). Patients' pain analog scores at 12 and 24 hours postoperatively were lower than preoperatively, but the differences were not statistically significant( P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in recovery indicators between the two groups compared to the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The postoperative recovery metrics of 5G tele-robotic-assisted cholecystectomy were consistent with the results of conventional robotic surgery.
