Objective To report the diagnosis of a canine distemper virus outbreak among a colony of cynomolgus monkeys at an experimental monkey farm in 2019. MethodsA total of 46 samples were collected from 21 diseased cynomolgus monkeys (exhibiting symptoms such as facial rash, skin scurf, runny nose, and diarrhea) and from one deceased monkey at an experimental monkey breeding farm in South China in late 2019, including serum, skin rash swabs, and anticoagulated whole blood, liver, lung, and skin tissues were submitted for testing. All submitted samples were tested for canine distemper virus gene fragments using real-time quantitative PCR, while immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect canine distemper virus nucleoprotein in lung tissues. The skin tissue of the deceased monkey was ground and sieved. The filtrate was inoculated into a monolayer MDCK cell line for virus isolation. Then, whole-genome sequencing was performed to identify the isolated virus. The Clustal Omega tool was used to align and analyze the homology of different Asian canine distemper virus isolates. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, followed by genetic evolutionary analysis. ResultsClinical retrospective analysis revealed that the diseased cynomolgus monkeys exhibited symptoms similar to those observed in cynomolgus monkeys infected with measles virus. Necropsy findings showed red lesions in the lungs and significant hemorrhage in the colonic mucosa. Real-time quantitative PCR detected canine distemper virus nucleic acid in the serum, skin rash swabs of the infected monkeys, and various tissue samples of the deceased monkey, all of which tested positive. Calculation based on the standard curve formula indicated the viral load was highest in the skin tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of the deceased monkey's lung tissue demonstrated aggregation of CDV nucleoprotein in alveolar epithelial cells, bronchi, and bronchioles. A CDV strain was isolated from the skin tissue of the deceased monkey. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this strain shares the closest relationship (98.86%) with the Asian-1 type canine distemper virus strain CDV/dog/HCM/33/140816, previously identified in dogs in Vietnam. ConclusionBased on comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, nucleic acid detection, viral protein immunohistochemistry, and whole-genome sequencing results, the diagnosis confirms that the cynomolgus monkeys in this facility are infected with canine distemper virus. It is recommended to include canine distemper virus as a routine surveillance target in captive monkey populations. Additionally, this study provides a foundation for further research on the molecular biological characteristics of canine distemper virus.

Objective Based on a novel type of cell death induced by disulfide stress,known as disulfidptosis,this study explores the role of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)in gastric cancer and establishes a prognosis model re-lated to disulfidptosis,providing a new method for assessing the prognosis of gastric cancer treatment.Methods Transcriptomic data from gastric cancer and normal tissue samples were obtained from the public database TCGA,and disulfidptosis-related LncRNAs were selected through Pearson analysis and LASSO-Cox regression analysis.A relevant prognostic model for gastric cancer was constructed based on the above LncRNAs and validated by function-al enrichment analysis,tumour microenvironment and immune cell infiltration analysis,drug sensitivity analysis and quantitative reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR).Results In this study,400 disulfide death-associated LncR-NAs were identified and five of them were screened to construct a prognostic model for assessing the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.The models showed in validation that the survival of the high-risk score group was shorter than that of the low-risk score group(P＜0.05).In addition,the predictive ability of the prognostic model(AUC=0.725)was better than that based only on basic characteristics such as age and gender.The expression levels of disulfide death-associated LncRNAs differed between normal and gastric cancer tissues(P＜0.001).Conclusion The disulfidptosis-related LncRNA prognosis model developed in this study can effectively assess the prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the tumor microenvironment,providing potential targets and a theoretical basis for new immunotherapeutic strategies for gastric cancer.

Objective:To compare the clinical effect of combined anterior and posterior approach and posterior median approach to treat O'Driscoll type III b fracture of ulnar coronoid process.Methods:A retrospective case control study was made on 67 patients with O'Driscoll type III b fracture of ulnar coronoid process treated in Honghui Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to January 2019, including 35 males and 32 females, aged from 21 to 61 years [(38.0±9.4)years]. Among them, 31 patients were treated with combined anterior and posterior approach for reduction and internal fixation (combined approach group), and 36 patients with median posterior elbow approach group for reduction and internal fixation (posterior elbow approach group). The operation time, amount of intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time were compared between groups. The visual analogue score (VAS), elbow joint range of motion and Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) were assessed for pain and function evaluation at postoperative 1, 3, 6 months and at the last follow-up. The occurrence of complications were observed as well.Results:All patients were followed up for 12 to 28 months [(20.1±4.2)months]. There was no significant difference in operation time and VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss [(133.6±20.3)ml] and fracture healing time [(12.3±1.7)months] in combined approach group were less or shorter than those in posterior elbow approach group [(144.4±22.1)ml, (13.2±2.0)months] ( P<0.05). The range of flexion and extension of elbow joint in combined approach group [(88.7±10.8)°, (111.1±13.9)°, (121.3±14.1)°, (127.1±13.3)°] was higher than that in posterior elbow approach group [(74.5±11.8)°, (97.6±12.6)°, (111.3±13.0)°, (115.2±12.7)°] at postoperative 1, 3, 6 months and at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). The MEPS in combined approach group [(31.7±8.6)points, (55.6±9.3)points, (84.6±10.5)points, (85.0±10.3)points] was higher than that in posterior elbow approach group [(27.2±8.2)points, (50.7±8.7)points, (77.4±11.2)points, (80.1±9.4)points] at postoperative 1, 3, 6 months and last follow-up ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in combined approach group [10%(3/31)] was lower than that in posterior elbow approach group [31%(11/36)]( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the simple posterior elbow median approach, the combined anterior and posterior elbow approach for treatment of O'Driscoll type IIIb fracture of ulnar coronoid process has lower intraoperative blood loss, faster fracture healing, lower incidence of complications and better elbow function.

Objective:To explore mechanical stability of Proximal Humeral Internal Locking Plate System (PHILOS) in the treatment of Vancouver B1 femoral periprosthetic fractures by three-dimensional finite element analysis.Methods:A three-dimensional finite element model of the femur was established by digital medical software (Mimics 21.0, 3-matic12.0, Geomagic12.0 and Hypermesh 2017.0) using the CT data of a femur from a volunteer (male, 34 years old, 173 cm in height and 65 kg in weight). After the femoral trochanter was cut in the femoral models, a femoral stem was implanted. PHILOS fixation (PHILOS group) and Cable-Ready GTR fixation (Cable group) were applied respectively. Loads of 700 N, 1,400 N and 2,100 N were applied to the 2 groups of finite element models. Distributions of Von Mises stress and deformation were investigated in the finite element models of 2 internal fixations; the mechanical stability was compared between the 2 groups of models.Results:The maximum deformation occurred on the femoral ball head in the 2 groups of models. At the load of 2,100 N, the maximum deformation was 3.77 mm in the PHILOS group, larger than 3.58 mm in the Cable group, and the maximum stress peak value in the PHILOS group was 491.54 MPa, about 49.2% lower than that in the Cable group (733.61 MPa). The peak stress in the PHILOS group was mainly distributed on the 4th and 5th fixation ends at the bone plate while the peak stress in the Cable group was mainly distributed on the second titanium cable under the fracture line.Conclusions:Under various loads, both PHILOS fixation and Cable-Ready GTR fixation can provide sufficient mechanical stability. As the peak stress of PHILOS fixation is much lower than that of Cable-Ready GTR fixation, PHILOS can be used as an effective fixation method for Vancouver B1 femoral periprosthetic fractures.

Objective:To explore the type distribution and severity of central nervous system(CNS) complications in severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases prior to the introduction of human enterovirus A group 71 type (EV-A71) vaccine, and provide scientific data for early clinical intervention.Methods:A total of 3 583 laboratory-confirmed severe HFMD cases in Jiangsu province during 2010-2016 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Related early warning signs of increased HFMD severity were estimated with logistic regression analyses.Results:The severity-fatality rate, severity-pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) admission rate, and sequelae rate were 8.09‰(29/3 583), 11.75% (421/3 583)and 5.30‰(19/3 583). Of them, 39.02% (1 398/3 583) patients suffered from mild CNS involvement, 59.22% (2 122/3 583) patients suffered from severe CNS involvement, 1.76%(63/3 583) suffered from critical CNS involvement. The rates of the cases whose age of onset was 6-11 months, the rates of cases with atypical rash, respiratory-related signs and symptoms (shortness of breath, slowed breathing, dyspnea, etc), neurological-related signs and symptoms [(hand and foot shaking, convulsions, lethargy(sleepiness), etc], circulatory-related system signs and symptoms (faster heart rate, abnormal skin color, arrhythmia, cold limbs), laboratory-related indicators (increased white blood cell count, increased lymphocyte count, increased platelet count, increased C-reactive protein, etc), clinical auxiliary examination [electroencephalogram(EEG), brain CT, chest X-ray)] were highest in the critical CNS involvement group, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that with the increase of proportion of convulsions, slowed breathing, vomiting, meningeal irritation and other 7 variables, the severity of CNS complications increased ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The indicators such as easily startled, slow breathing, vomiting, elevated lymphocytes, abnormal EEG and other indicators have important clinical significance for children with severe HFMD to progress to CNS complications of different severity.

Objective To investigate the status of Helicobacter pylori and “Helicobacter macacae” infection in rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys in China.Methods With the use of 16S rRNA specific primers for Helicobacter spp and Helicobacter pylori ( HP ) from published literatures, and new 16S rRNA specific primers designed for “Helicobacter macacae” ( HM ) , we investigated the infection status of these two Helicobacter spps in both of 45 rhesus and 90 cynomolgus monkeys by qPCR or conventional PCR on stool samples.Results All three primer sets for 16S rRNA exhibited excellently sensitivity and specificity.Both the infection rates of HP and HM were 100% among 45 young adult rhesus monkeys.The infection rate of HP and HM in 90 young adult cynomolgus monkeys were 100% and 97.8%, respectively.Conclusions Helicobacter pylori and “Helicobacter macacae” are present in almost every artificially bred adult rhesus and cynomolgus individuals which may adversely affect the health of laboratory monkeys and the accuracy of related animal experiments.

To explore the proportion for facial aesthetics that may be recognized by the potential group who will do plastic surgery in the future. 
 Methods: We measured the celebrity photos, who were born before 1980 recognizable by the people over 40 years old or by high school students. The proportions for facial aesthetics recognizable by these two generations were obtained and compared. 
 Results: Compared the new generation of male celebrities with the older generation of male celebrities, the difference was statistically significant by the independent samples t test (t=-2.502, P<0.05), while other ratios were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Compared the new generation of female celebrities with the older generation of female celebrities, the difference was statistically significant by the independent samples t test. The ratios between inter-canthic diameter and eyeslit breadth, mouth breadth and eyeslit breadth, stirnhohe and 1/3 of the physiognomic facial height, nasal height and 1/3 of the physiognomic facial height were significantly different (P<0.05), while other ratios were not significantly different (P>0.05).
 Conclusion: The young new generation loves more larger eyeslit breadth for men, while a larger eyeslit breadth, smaller bizygomatic breadth and sharper chin for women.
