Bovine rotavirus(BRV)is an important pathogen causing diarrhea in calves.To understand the genomic charac-teristics and genetic variations in bovine rotavirus,and to further enrich data on the biological characteristics of rotavirus,we aimed to amplify 11 gene segments of the isolated and cultured G6P[1]bovine rotavirus BLL strain,perform whole genome se-quencing,and analyze the molecular characteristics.MEGA7.0 and DNAMAN software were used for homology and typing a-nalysis,and the whole genome phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genetic evolution relationships.The complete geno-type of the BLL strain was G6-P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 and VP4 genes of the BLL strain showed that the VP7 gene had the highest homology with RVA/Cow-wt/HB01/China/2021,and the VP4 gene of the BLL strain was in the same branch as RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro8059/1995.From the sequence alignment of VP8*amino acids,the sialic acid domain of the BLL strain was found to be similar to that in other P[1]strains,but different from those in other types of strains,except for residue 189,which was the same as that in Ro8059 but different from that in other strains.The results suggested that the BLL strain might potentially infect humans.Therefore,continued monitoring and study of the biological characteristics of this strain are necessary to provide more information and evidence supporting further research on the cross-species transmission of group A rotavirus in China.

Objective·To investigate the causal relationship between plasma zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein 1(AZGP1)and heart failure(HF)by using Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis and experimental validation.Methods·A two-sample MR analysis was performed to assess the causal relationship between AZGP1 and HF by integrating large-scale genome-wide association study(GWAS)data on plasma proteins and HF.The inverse-variance weighted(IVW)method was employed as the primary analytical approach,supplemented by MR-Egger regression,weighted median,and simple median methods.Horizontal pleiotropy was tested by using MR-PRESSO global test and MR-Egger intercept analysis.Colocalization analysis was conducted to validate genetic locus overlap.Additionally,a clinical cohort(84 HF patients and 68 healthy controls)was analyzed,with plasma AZGP1 levels quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results·MR analysis showed that elevated plasma AZGP1 levels were significantly associated with reduced HF risk(OR=0.82,95%CI 0.75?0.90,P=1.70×10-5).Colocalization analysis confirmed that AZGP1 expression and HF shared causal genetic variants(posterior probability for H4=0.69).Sensitivity and reverse MR analyses supported the robustness of the results.ELISA confirmed that plasma AZGP1 levels were significantly lower in HF patients compared to healthy controls,reinforcing its protective role in HF.Conclusion·This study demonstrates AZGP1 exerts a protective causal effect on HF and may serve as a potential biomarker for HF treatment.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 43 patients with large-volume renal calculi treated with flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL)at our hospital from August 2020 to August 2023. Among the patients, 26 were male and 17 were female; 22 had left-sided stones and 21 had right-sided stones. Thirty-three patients had preoperative placement of a double-J (D-J)stent, while 10 did not. The mean age was (42.7±11.1)years, the mean stone volume was (10.3±3.5)cm 3, and the mean operative time was (97.9±10.4)minutes. All procedures were completed using reusable flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Twenty-two patients received traditional methods of stone expulsion after FURL (control group), while 21 patients received a combination of traditional methods and extracorporeal physical vibration lithotripsy (EPVL) after FURL (experimental group). The experimental group showed a significantly higher stone-free rate at one month (85.7% vs. 54.5%)and a lower reoperation rate (4.8% vs. 31.8%)compared to the control group. The difference in reoperation rates between the experimental and control groups was statistically significant ( P< 0.05). These results suggest that the combination of reusable ureteroscopic lithotripsy and EPVL is a feasible treatment option for large-volume renal calculi.

Objective:To investigate the expression of TMSB10 mRNA in primary liver can-cer and its clinical value.Methods:The primary liver cancer data set was downloaded from the TCGA database and to analyze the expression of TMSB10 mRNA in primary liver cancer.The as-sociation between TMSB10 mRNA expression and primary liver cancer patients survival rate,im-mune cell infiltration were analyzed.A total of 150 primary liver cancer tissues and adjacent tis-sues were enrolled in our hospital,and the expression of TMSB10 mRNA in primary liver cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were analyzed via immunohistochemistry.All patients with primary liver cancer were followed up and divide into poor prognosis(n=81)and good prognosis group(n=69).The Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for poor prognosis in pa-tients with primary liver cancer.Results:The expression of TMSB10 mRNA in primary liver can-cer tissue and normal liver tissue were 1111.239(601.842,2154.575),396.998(324.379,524.741),respectively.When compared with normal liver tissue,the TMSB10 mRNA was significantly over-expressed in primary liver cancer tissue(P＜0.001).The median survival time of the TMSB10 mRNA lower expression group was 84.4 months,while the median survival time was 49.7 months in TMSB10 mRNA higher expression group.Compared with the TMSB10 lower expression group,the survival rate of the TMSB10 higher expression group was significantly decreased(HR=1.55,P=0.039).The expression of TMSB10 mRNA in primary liver cancer tissue was significantly positively correlated with the infiltration degree of B lymphocytes,CD8+T lymphocytes,CD4+T lympho-cytes,macrophages,neutrophils,and dendritic cells.The high expression rate of TMSB10 in pri-mary liver cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues(x2=103.419,P＜0.001).The Logistic analysis showed that vascular invasion,AJCC stage with Ⅲ-Ⅳ,and higher ex-pression of TMSB were all independent risk factors for the poor prognosis in patients with primary liver cancer.In poor prognosis group,when compared with TMSB10 lower expression group,the time of recurrence and metastasis in TMSB10 higher expression group was significantly shortened(t=4.456,P＜0.001).Conclusion:TMSB10 was significantly over-expressed in primary liver cancer,and TMSB can serve as a biological marker for poor prognosis in patients with primary liver cancer.

Objective:To investigate the expression level of UBE2C in liver cancer tissues and its effect on the proliferation and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2 after UBE2C silencing.Methods:The data set of liver cancer was downloaded from the TCGA database.Ac-cording to the median expression level of UBE2C mRNA in liver cancer tissues,all liver cancer pa-tients were divided into UBE2C higher(n=169)and lower expression group(n=205),respectively.The expression level of UBE2C mRNA in liver cancer tissues and its relationship with the patients prognosis was analyzed.COX regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the liver cancer patients prognosis.The human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines(HepG2,Huh7 and SMMC-7721)and human nromal hepatic epithelial cell line(THLE-3)were selected,and the ex-pression level of UBE2C in the four cell lines were detected by Western blot and real-time fluores-cence quantitative PCR,respectively.The HepG2 cell line was protein and mRNA expression leves divided into control group,NC group and si-UBE2C group according to UBE2C silencing.The ef-fects of UBE2C silencing on proliferation and invasion of HepG2 cell line were analyzed.Results:The expression level of UBE2C mRNA in liver cancer tissues and adjacent normal liver tissues were 4.342(3.239,5.635)and 0.905(0.587,1.230),respectively.Compared with adjacent normal liver tissues,UBE2C mRNA levels in liver cancer tissues were significantly higher(P＜0.001).The UBE2C mRNA expression levels in liver cancer tissues and paired adjacent normal liver tissues were 4.266(3.342,5.054)and 0905(0.587,1.230),respectively.Compared with paired adjacent normal liver tissues,UBE2C mRNA expression levels in liver cancer tissues were significantly higher(P＜0.001).The median survival time of UBE2C mRNA higher and lower expression groups was 48.85 months and 69.38 months.Compared with the lower expression group,the median survival time of UBE2C mRNA higher expression group was significantly shortened(P=0.045).T staging(T3/T4)and UBE2C expression(higher expression)were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with liver cancer(P＜0.05).Compared with human liver epithelial cell line THLE-3,UBE2C protein and mRNA were significantly higher expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2,Huh7 and SMMC-7721(P＜0.05).The expression level of UBE2C protein and mRNA expression was the most significant in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 relative to cell line Huh7 and SMMC-7721.The CCK-8 results show that the cell proliferation rate in si-UBE2C group were significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels compared to control group and NC group at 72 h and 96 h,and the differences were significant(P＜0.05).The number of invasive cells in control group,NC group and si-UBE2C group were(23.12±3.45),(24.33±2.83)and(10.21±1.14),respectively.Compared with control group and NC group,the number of invasive cells in si-UBE2C group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:UBE2C was higher expressed in liver cancer,and can be used as a biomarker for poor prognosis of patients with liver cancer.After silencing of UBE2C gene can significantly inhibit proliferation and invasion of HepG2.
