Objective: To investigate the characteristics of HIV-1 molecular transmission network among HIV/AIDS patients in Zhoushan City, Zhejing Province. Methods: The newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Zhoushan City from 2020 to 2022 were selected. Basic information was collected and whole blood samples were obtained at the initial follow-up. The pol gene sequences of HIV-1 were amplified by RT-PCR and nested-PCR. HIV-1 subtypes were identified by Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic trees. The HIV-1 molecular transmission network was built and analyzed using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software. Results: A total of 222 HIV/AIDS cases were reported in Zhoushan City from 2020 to 2022, 200 whole blood samples were collected, and 152 sequences were obtained successfully, including 122 males (80.26%), 75 cases aged 50 years and above (49.34%), 109 cases with a junior high school education or below (71.71%), and 63 cases with commercial heterosexual contact (41.45%). The main subtypes were CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE, accounting for 45.39% and 21.05%, respectively. When the threshold of genetic distance was set to 1%, 20 molecular clusters were formed in 69 cases, with a clustering rate of 45.39%. Using the molecular network constituted by reported HIV/AIDS cases in 2020 as the baseline network, there were 2 active molecular clusters with ≥5 new cases in 2022, each with 9 cases, characterized mainly by individuals aged 50 or above, with a junior high school education or below, and transmission through commercial heterosexual sex. Conclusions The predominant HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS cases in Zhoushan City are CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE. Transmission through commercial heterosexual contact among middle-aged and elderly people is a main mode of HIV transmission.

Objective To explore potential predictive biomarkers for preeclampsia by analyzing the expression and characteristics of vascular-related inflammatory proteins in the serum of preeclamptic pregnant women.Methods A case-control study was conducted from Sep 2017 to Sep 2018 in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University.Preeclamptic pregnant women and normotensive pregnant controls during the same period were recruited.The concentration of 12 vascular inflammation-related proteins in the patients'serum was determined by multiplex flow cytometry.The vascular-related inflammatory molecules were subjected to differential analysis by non-parametric t-test to obtain preeclampsia-related vascular inflammatory proteins.Finally,high-risk preeclampsia pregnancy serum samples from the biobank were retrieved.Serum concentrations of preeclampsia-related vascular inflammatory proteins were determined,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was conducted for preliminary predictive assessment of preeclampsia.Results This study conducted a quantitative analysis of serum vascular inflammatory proteins in 39 cases of preeclampsia and 43 cases of control pregnant women,detecting 10 vascular inflammatory proteins expressed in maternal serum.Among these,myoglobin and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1)exhibited significant elevation in the serum of preeclamptic pregnant women,while matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)showed a marked decrease.ROC curve analysis revealed that in 96 high-risk early pregnancy women,the area under the curve(AUC)for VCAM-1 reached 0.802,whereas myoglobin and MMP-9 did not significantly predict the occurrence of preeclampsia.Conclusion Preeclampsia patients exhibit abnormal expression of serum inflammatory proteins,among which VCAM-1 may be a potential biological marker for early pregnancy preeclampsia risk prediction.

Objective To summarize the treatment of cervical cancer patients diagnosed before 34 weeks of gestation who chose to continue pregnancy,and to provide clinical experience for improving maternal and fetal outcomes.Methods Clinical data of pregnant women with cervical cancer admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University from Jan 2013 to Feb 2024 were collected and analyzed.Treatment of patients diagnosed before 34 weeks of gestation and chose to continue pregnancy was summarized.Outcomes of patients and newborn were followed up.Results A total of 15 patients were enrolled with a median age of 34 years old.Nine cases(9/15)represented clinical symptom of abnormal vaginal bleeding,14 cases(14/15)of patients were diagnosed in the middle or late stages of pregnancy,12 cases(12/15)diagnosed with tumor size of more than 2 cm,13 patients(13/15)infected HPV type 16 or 18.The main pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma(9/15).Regarding therapy,one patient with stage Ⅰa1 was under observation and underwent a caesarean section and total hysterectomy at 35 weeks of gestation due to premature rupture of membrane and a scarred uterus.For the other patients with 14 stage Ⅰb,lymph node metastasis was excluded by pelvic lymphadenectomy or MRI,and then neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered.Termination of pregnancy and standardized treatment for cervical cancer were provided after 34 weeks of gestation.One patient's pathology was upgraded to stage Ⅱa1 after surgery.Up to follow-up,13 out of 15 patients had survived without tumors.The average gestational age of newborns was(35.0±1.5)weeks,and the average birth weight was(2 345.33±431.44)g.Blood tests conducted one day after delivery of the newborns revealed that:8 newborns(8/15)had hypoleukocyte and one newborn(1/15)had anemia.After short-term hospitalization and supportive treatment,all newborns'progress was favorable.Conclusion For pregnant patients with stage Ⅰb cervical cancer diagnosed before 34 weeks of gestation,postponing termination to after 34 weeks of gestation through neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then giving standardized treatment for cervical cancer was safe with favorable maternal and fetal prognosis.

Objective To investigate the improvement effect and mechanism of ligustilide on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced renal podocyte injury in mice.Methods(1)In vivo experiment:the mice were randomly divided into blank control group,LPS induction group,ligustilide low-and high-dose groups,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-NC(RhoA negative control)group,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-RhoA(RhoA overexpression)group.Except for the blank control group,mice in other groups were subjected to LPS-induced acute kidney injury(AKI)model.After the intervention,the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and creatinine(Cr)in the serum of mice were detected,the pathological changes of kidney tissue in mice were observed by periodic acid-schiff(PAS)staining,and the protein expressions of RhoA and Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase(ROCK)in kidney tissue were detected by Western Blot.(2)In vitro experiments:the cultured mouse podocyte MPC5 was divided into blank control group,LPS induction group,ligustilide low-and high-dose groups,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-NC group,ligustilide high-dose+pcDNA-RhoA group.Cell count kit 8(CCK-8)method was used to detect the proliferation activity of podocytes,flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis,phalloidin staining method was used to analyze cytoskeleton,and Western Blot was used to detect the expressions of RhoA and ROCK proteins in the cells.Results Compared with the blank control group,the levels of BUN and Cr in serum,renal tissue injury score,and the protein expressions of RhoA and ROCK in the LPS-induced group were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the LPS-induced group,the levels of BUN and Cr in serum,renal tissue injury score,and the expression levels of RhoA and ROCK in the low-and high-dose ligustilide groups were decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the cell proliferation activity,F-actin fluorescence intensity,RhoA and ROCK expressions in the LPS-induced group were decreased(P＜0.05),and the apoptosis rate was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the LPS-induced group,the cell proliferation activity,F-actin fluorescence intensity,RhoA and ROCK expressions were increased(P＜0.05),and the apoptosis rate was decreased in the low-and high-dose ligustilide groups(P＜0.05).Overexpression of RhoA reversed the alleviation effect of ligustilide on LPS-induced renal tissue and podocyte injury in mice(P＜0.01).Conclusion Ligustilide may improve LPS-induced renal podocyte injury in mice by inhibiting RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.

Objective To observe the changes of cervical sagittal parameters of digital radiography(DR)at bilateral oblique position of cervical spine in patients with neck type cervical spondylopathy(NTCS)after cervical rotation and lifting manipulations,and to evaluate the clinical significance of cervical sagittal parameters in assessing the efficacy of NTCS by combining the pain score of visual analogue scale(VAS).Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 36 NTCS patients admitted to the outpatient clinic of the Tuina Department of Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2020 to May 2021.According to the treatment method,the patients were divided into the trial group and the control group,with 18 patients in each group.The trial group was treated with cervical rotation and lifting manipulations,and the control group was treated with cervical vertebra traction.The two groups were treated once every other day for 2 continuous weeks.The changes of VAS pain score and sagittal parameters of DR such as sagittal vertical axis of cervical vertebra 2-7(C2-7 SVA),the T1 slope(T1S),neck tilt(NT),and thoracic inlet angle(TIA)in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between VAS scores of pain level and cervical sagittal parameters.Results(1)Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in the VAS pain scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the VAS pain scores in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease of the scores in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(2)Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference in the values of cervical sagittal parameters of C2-7 SVA,T1S,NT,and TIA between the two groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the C2-7 SVA,T1S,and TIA of the trial group were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),but the improvement of NT was not obvious(P＞0.05);the cervical sagittal parameters of the control group were not significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＞0.05).The intergroup comparison showed that the improvement of C2-7 SVA,T1S,and TIA in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the difference in NT between the two groups after treatment was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(3)The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that before treatment,VAS pain score had no correlation with C2-7 SVA,T1S,NT,and TIA(P＞0.05),C2-7 SVA was negatively correlated with NT(r=-0.502,P＜0.05),and T1S was positively correlated with NT(r=0.601,P＜0.05).After treatment,VAS pain score was negatively correlated with C2-7 SVA(r=-0.362,P＜0.05)and positively correlated with TIA(r=0.476,P＜0.05),C2-7 SVA was positively correlated with NT(r=0.928,P＜0.05),and T1S was positively correlated with TIA(r=0.623,P＜0.05).Conclusion Both cervical rotation and lifting manipulations and cervical traction can relieve the pain and adjust cervical sagittal parameters in the patients with NTCS,but cervical rotation and lifting manipulations are more effective in treating NTCS.And there may be a correlation between the VAS scores of pain level and cervical sagittal parameters in patients with NTCS.

Objective To analyze and verify the role of senescent genes in the treatment,prognosis,and tumor microenvironment(TME)characteristics of osteoblastic osteosarcoma,bioinformatic methods were employed.Methods Senescent genes were obtained from the China National Genome Science database(https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/aging/index).The gene expression profile and clinical information of osteosarcoma patients were sourced from the TARGET database(https://ocg.cancer.gov/programs/target),while single-cell RNA-sequencing(scRNA-seq)data was collected from GSE162454 on the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)for downstream analysis.Osteosarcoma cells were classified based on scRNA-seq,and differential expression analysis between osteoblasts/chondroblasts and other cell types was conducted to identify differently expressed genes(DEGs).After matching with the senescent genes,prognostic senescent DEGs were identified through univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis.Subsequently,the osteosarcoma senescent-related model(OSRM)was constructed,and the risk score was calculated.The role of OSRM in treatment,prognosis,and TME of osteosarcoma was further investigated.Results The analysis revealed that GSE162454 contained 6 osteosarcoma samples,with 19933 cells identified after filtering,quality control,and normalization.Seventeen cellular subtypes were identified using uniform manifold approximation and projection(UMAP)methods.A total of 4821 DEGs were found between osteoblasts/chondroblasts and other subtypes,with 132 senescent DEGs obtained after matching with the senescent gene set.In the TARGET database,4 prognostic senescent DEGs[ADH5(alcohol dehydrogenase 5),ARHGAP1(Rho GTPase activating protein 1),APOE(apolipoprotein E),and ATF4(activating transcription factor 4)]were identified through univariable and multivariable Cox analyses to construct OSRM.Based on risk score,patients were stratified into high-and low-risk groups,with the latter showing better prognosis(HR=0.13,95%CI 0.06-0.28,P<0.001)and higher sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitors.qRT-PCR and Western blotting confirmed the high expression of senescent genes ADH5(P<0.01),APOE(P<0.01),and ATF4(P<0.05)in the K7M2 osteosarcoma cell line,suggesting the potential for predicting the response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy for osteosarcoma.Conclusions scRNA-seq facilitated the division of osteosarcoma into 17 cell subtypes.ADH5,ARHGAP1,APOE,and ATF4 emerged as potential cancer-promoting or suppressing senescent genes in osteosarcoma.OSRM was found to be associated with treatment response,prognosis,and TME characteristics,thereby promoting the molecular pathological diagnosis of osteoblastic osteosarcoma and prediction for anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
