Objective To investigate the effect of vitamin D(VD)on intestinal flora in spontaneously diabetic rats.Methods Zucker diabetic fatty rats(ZDF rats)were randomised to control(Con)group,VD control(VD)group,model(T2DM)group,and VD intervention(VD+T2DM)group.Fasting blood glucose profiles and oral glucose tolerance levels were determined in rats of each group.16S rDNA sequencing was used to assess changes in rat intestinal flora.OTU analysis(Venn diagram),α diversity analysis(chao1,observed species,PD whole tree,and shannon and simpson),βdiversity analysis(principal coordinate analysis(PCoA)),flora structure,and colony species variability analysis(linear discriminant analysis and influence factor(LEfSe)analysis)were also performed.Results VD intervention significantly improved fasting blood glucose levels and insulin resistance in T2DM rats(P＜0.05).α diversity showed no significant differences in chao1,observed species,PD whole tree,and shannon and simpson indices between T2DM and VD+T2DM groups(P＞0.05).β diversity analysis showed that the VD+T2DM group had more species similarity to the Con group than the T2DM group.The dominant bacteria of rat intestinal flora in each group were significantly different.In comparison to the T2DM group,the VD+T2DM group showed a decrease in abundance of Bacteroidetes and increases in abundances of Firmicutes and Clostridium XIVa.Conclusions VD improves fasting glucose elevation and insulin resistance in T2DM rats.VD improves the structure of intestinal flora,decreases Bacteroidetes,and elevates Firmicutes and Clostridium XIVa abundances in T2DM rats.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Background::Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is the commonest pediatric sellar tumor. No effective drug is available and interpatient heterogeneity is prominent. This study aimed to identify distinct molecular subgroups of ACP based on the multi-omics profiles, imaging findings, and histological features, in order to predict the response to anti-inflammatory treatment and immunotherapies.Methods::Totally 142 Chinese cases diagnosed with craniopharyngiomas were profiled, including 119 ACPs and 23 papillary craniopharyngiomas. Whole-exome sequencing (151 tumors, including recurrent ones), RNA sequencing (84 tumors), and DNA methylome profiling (95 tumors) were performed. Consensus clustering and non-negative matrix factorization were used for subgrouping, and Cox regression were utilized for prognostic evaluation, respectively.Results::Three distinct molecular subgroups were identified: WNT, ImA, and ImB. The WNT subgroup showed higher Wnt/β-catenin pathway activity, with a greater number of epithelial cells and more predominantly solid tumors. The ImA and ImB subgroups had activated inflammatory and interferon response pathways, with enhanced immune cell infiltration and more predominantly cystic tumors. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MEK/MAPK) signaling was activated only in ImA samples, while IL-6 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition biomarkers were highly expressed in the ImB group, mostly consisting of children. The degree of astrogliosis was significantly elevated in the ImA group, with severe finger-like protrusions at the invasive front of the tumor. The molecular subgrouping was an independent prognostic factor, with the WNT group having longer event-free survival than ImB (Cox, P = 0.04). ImA/ImB cases were more likely to respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy than the WNT group ( P <0.01). In the preliminary screening of subtyping markers, CD38 was significantly downregulated in WNT compared with ImA and ImB ( P = 0.01). Conclusions::ACP comprises three molecular subtypes with distinct imaging and histological features. The prognosis of the WNT type is better than that of the ImB group, which is more likely to benefit from the ICB treatment.

Objective:To assess the capability of seven reference medical laboratories to detect BCR::ABL1 p210 transcription levels and to compare the results among those laboratories.Methods:The interlaboratory comparison was carried out in two stages. The samples were prepared by the reference laboratory. The quantitative values of BCR::ABL1 p210 of the comparison samples covered 0.001%-0.01%, 0.01%-0.1%, 0.1%-1%, 1%-10% and>10% in each stage. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and dPCR (digital PCR) were used to examine the samples. The conversion factor (CF) was calculated and validated for each laboratory.Results:In the RT-PCR comparison, one laboratory was failed to detect BCR::ABL1 p210 in fourteen samples at the first stage. The results of the other six laboratories were qualified with the bias <±1.2 folds (-0.133-0.338) and 95% limits of agreement within ±5 folds (upper limit 0.147-0.785, lower limit -0.770--0.109), and the corresponding CF values were calculated and validated. In the dPCR comparison, one laboratory did not report results at the second stage. The results of the other six laboratories were qualified with the bias <±1.2 folds (-0.026-0.267) and 95% limits of agreement within±5 folds (upper limit 0.084-0.991, lower limit -0.669--0.135), and the corresponding CF values were calculated and validated. The samples with BCR::ABL1 p210 quantitative values of 0.01%-0.1%, 0.1%-1%, 1%-10% and >10% could be detected by both RT-PCR and qPCR. When the quantitative value of BCR::ABL1 p210 was 0.001%-0.01%, the detection rate of dPCR was higher than that of RT-PCR (85.56% vs. 68.00%).Conclusions:A good consistency is present among various laboratories. The quantitative value of BCR::ABL1 p210 is comparable among laboratories as shown by the CF value conversion. For quantitative detection of BCR::ABL1 p210 deep molecular reaction, dPCR has a higher positive detection rate and more advantages than RT-PCR. To ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of the BCR::ABL1 p210 test, it is imperative for every laboratory to enhance their daily quality control practices.

Objective:To observe any effect of combining electro-acupuncture with aerobic exercise on the expression of SR-BI receptor and caveolin-1 and ABCA1 proteins in the liver and on reverse cholesterol transport. Any relationship with inflammatory factors NF-κBp65, COX-2 and TNF-α in the aortic arch was also investigated.Methods:Thirty male SPF Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group (NG), a model group (MG), and a group which received electro-acupuncture combined with aerobic exercise (the EAG group), each of 10. A hyperlipidemia model was induced in the rats of the MG and EAG groups by feeding a high-fat diet. For 4 weeks the EAG group received 30 minutes of electroacupuncture daily (frequencies of sparse/dense waves 2/100Hz, 1mA) at the ST40 and SP9 acupoints, followed by 60 minutes of no weight bearing swimming. No intervention was applied to the other groups. Before and after the intervention, serum was collected to observe lipid levels. Liver and aortic arch issue were resected to measure lipid deposition and inflammation using hematoxylin eosin staining. Caveolin-1, SR-BI and ABCA1 in the liver and NF-κBp65, COX-2 and TNF-α in the aortic arch were quantified using real-time PCRs and western blotting.Results:After successful modeling the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the protein and mRNA expressions of NF-κBp65, TNF-α, COX-2 and COX-2 in the aortic arches of the MG had increased significantly. High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and the protein and mRNA expressions of caveolin-1, SR-BI and ABCA1 in the liver had decreased significantly. Compared with the MG, the levels of TC and LDL-C, as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of NF-κBp65, TNF-α, COX-2 and COX-2 in the aortic arches of the EAG had decreased significantly, while the average HDL-C l level, as well as the protein and mRNA of caveolin-1, SR-BI and ABCA1 in the liver were up-regulated significantly.Conclusions:Electroacupuncture combined with aerobic exercise can relieve hyperlipidemia through promoting cholesterol reverse transport and inhibiting inflammation in endothelial cells. Those effects may be related to up-regulating the expression of caveolin-1, SR-BI and ABCA1 in the liver and down-regulating inflammatory factors in the aortic arch.

【Objective】 To analyze the polymorphisms of GYPA and GYPB mRNA spliceosomes associated with MNS blood group, and to explore the mechanism of subcellular localization of GPA and GPB protein isomerism encoded by various spliceosomes as well as the expression of MNS blood group antigen. 【Methods】 Ten blood samples of voluntary blood donors were randomly selected. The total mRNA of peripheral blood was extracted and reversed into cDNA. Nested PCR was used to amplify reading open frame of GYPA and GYPB gene, and sequencing was performed by Sanger. The base sequence obtained was compared with GYPA(NCBI: NM_002099) and GYPB(NCBI: Nm_002100.5). After the wild type and various splicing isomer of the open reading frame of GYPA and GYPB had been obtained, they were fused with the encoding gene of green fluorescent protein (GFP) by fusion PCR technology, then cloned and transfected into HEK293 cells for over expression. The subcellular localization of GPA-GFP and GPB-GFP fused fluorescent proteins was monitored by focusing laser scanning microscope. 【Results】 Exon-1 and Exon-2 were missing in GYPA mRNA of the 2 samples, and 2~26 amino acids were missing in the predicted GPA isomer, and the full length sequence of GYPB mRNA was complete. GYPA mRNA was intact in 6 samples, exon-2 was missing in GYPB mRNA, 13~45 amino acids were missing in the predicted GPB protein isomer, and other exon sequences were intact. One sample had intact GYPA mRNA, and 364~385 bases in exon-5 of GYPB mRNA were replaced by AG, indicating truncation of amino acid signal peptide. The GYP mRNA sequences of other samples were complete. The fluorescence signal of GP-GFP fusion protein showed that all GPA and GPB glycoprotein isomers, cloned according to various RNA splicing, could demonstrate the orientation distribution on the cell membrane surface, while some alternative splicing leaded to different degrees of protein dispersion in the cell, and affected the distribution speed and proportion of protein on the cell surface, which might be one of the reasons for the strength variation of MNS antigen. 【Conclusion】 The GYP mRNA spliceosome is obviously polymorphic, but the partial deletion of GYP mRNA fragment does not affect the localization and distribution of the protein isomers encoded by GYP mRNA on the cell surface, which can ensure the expression of MNS antigen characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the level of rumination and its influential factors among Chinese psychiatry nurses who go through work place violence.Methods:In this study, 150 psychiatry nurses were recruited from Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (specialize in psychiatry), via the combination of convenient sampling and snowball sampling. Chinese Event-related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) was applied in the survey.Results:The total score of C-ERRI was (22.11±9.62) points, and the scores of intrusive rumination subscale and deliberate rumination subscale were (12.99±5.58) and (9.12±6.01) points, respectively. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis show that assault frequency in recent year ( B=-3.195, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.591, P<0.01) were predictors of deliberate rumination, which account for 26.8% variance of the equation. Gender (male) ( B=-2.415, P<0.01), Injury frequency in recent year ( B=2.864, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.949, P<0.01) were predictors of intrusive rumination. They account for 36.0% variance of the equation. Conclusion:In this study, the level of rumination among Chinese psychiatry nurses was low. Their rumination style was deliberate rumination.

Objective:To investigate the 2 years’ efficacy of intravesical instillation of domestic BCG versus epirubicin in the prevention of recurrence of intermediate-risk or high-risk non-muscular invasive bladder cancer and predictive factors of BCG instillation.Methods:From July 2015 to June 2020, 18-75 years old patients with moderate to high-risk non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) confirmed by pathological examination were involved. The ECOG score was 0-2. Exclusion criteria included ①immune deficiency or impairment (such as AIDS), using immunosuppressive drugs or radiotherapy, suspected allergic to BCG or epirubicin or excipients of the two drugs, fever or acute infectious diseases including active tuberculosis or receiving anti tuberculosis treatment, with severe chronic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or chronic kidney disease; ②combined with other urogenital system tumors or other organ tumors; ③combined with muscle invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (≥T 2); ④undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within 4 weeks (immediate instillation after surgery not included); ⑤ pregnant or lactating women; ⑥ comfirmed or suspected bladder perforation; ⑦gross hematuria; ⑧cystitis with severe bladder irritation that may affect the evaluation; ⑨participat in other clinical trials within 3 months; ⑩alcohol or drug addiction; ?any risk factors that may increasing the risk of patients. Epirubicin 50 mg was irrigated immediately after the operation(TURBT or laser resection). The patients were randomly divided into BCG15 group, BCG19 group and epirubicin group by the ratio of 2∶2∶1, and the patients were maintained intravescical instillation for 1 year. The recurrence and adverse events of the three groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to predict the risk factors of BCG irrigated therapy failure. Result:By June 15, 2020, the median follow-up duration was 22.1 months(12.1, 32.3), and there was no statistical difference between the groups ( P=0.9024). There were 274 patients enrolled in BCG19 group, 277 patients enrolled in BCG15 group and 130 patients enrolled in the epirubicin group. The drop-off rate was 16.6%(113 cases)and made no difference between groups( P=0.6222). There were no significant difference in age, gender, BMI, or ECOG score( P>0.05). During the follow-up, 116 cases was detected recurrence or progression. The recurrence rate of the three groups was 14.2% and 14.8% in BCG19 group and BCG15 group, and 27.7% in the epirubicin group. There was no difference in recurrence rate between BCG19 and BCG15 group( P=0.9464). The recurrence rate of BCG19 group was lower than that of the epirubicin group ( P=0.0017). The recurrence rate of BCG15 group was lower than that of the epirubicin group ( P=0.0020). There was no difference in the cumulative recurrence free survival rate between BCG19 and BCG15 group (95% CI0.57-1.46, P=0.7173). The cumulative recurrence free survival rate of BCG 19 group was better than that of the epirubicin group( HR=0.439, 95% CI0.26-0.74, P=0.0006), and the cumulative recurrence free survival rate of BCG15 group was better than that of the epirubicin group ( HR=0.448, 95% CI0.29-0.80, P=0.0021). The total incidence of adverse events in 19 BCG19, BCG15 and epirubicin group were 74.5%, 72.6% and 69.8% respectively. There was no difference in the incidence of adverse events between BCG19 and BCG15 group( P=0.6153). The incidence of adverse events in epirubicin group was lower than that of BCG19( P=0.0051) and BCG15( P=0.0167) groups.There was no significant difference in the incidence of serious adverse events (SAE) among the three groups ( P=0.5064). Log rank test univariate analysis and Cox risk regression model multivariate analysis showed that the history of bladder cancer recurrence( HR=6.397, 95% CI1.95-20.94, P=0.0001)was independent risk factor for BCG irrigation failure. Conclusions:The 2 years’ efficacy of intravesical instillation of domestic BCG is better than than of epirubicin with good tolerance and safety. There is no difference between BCG19 and BCG15 group. BCG doesn’t increase SAE compared with epirubicin. Recurrence status was an independent prognostic factor regarding recurrence-free survival.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravesical instillation of BCG vaccine in the prevention of early recurrence of middle and high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.Methods From July 2015,patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer aged 18-75 years with informed consent were screened and underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).Immediately intravesical instillation of epirubicin 50 mg was given postoperatively.After pathology was comfirmed,patients was enrolled in group 1 (BCG15) or group 2 (BCG 19) or the control group (epirubicin 18) randomly with SAS 9.3 software.Data of follow-up and Adverse event was collected and analyzed.Results By May 31,2019,531 patients were enrolled in the study.The drop-off rate was 20.1％.167 patients (143 males and 24 females)in group 1,172 patients (141 males and 31 females)in group2 and 84(75 males and 9 females) in the control group with follow-up data were analyzed.There were no significant differences in age,gender,BMI,ECOG score,risk stratification between the three groups (P =0.8641,P =0.2906,P =0.9384,P =0.6126).The median follow-up time makes no statistical difference between the groups (P =0.9251),12.0 (6.0,22.5) months,13.0 (6.0,22.3) months,and 13.0 (7.0,22.3) months.The median recurrence time of the three groups was 4.0 (3.0,6.0) months,4.5 (3.0,9.8) months,4.5 (3.0,8.8) months.There was no statistical difference between the three groups (P =0.2852).Risk stratification in the patients got no significant difference between the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).The 1-year recurrence-free survival rates were 80.0％ in the group 1 and 88.3％ in the group 2 and 73.7％ in the control group.The group 2 was superior to the group 1 and the control group (P =0.0281,P =0.0031).There was no significant difference between group 1 and control group (P =0.2951).There was no significant difference in the cumulative recurrence-free survival between the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 2,(95％ CI 0.80-2.43,P =0.2433).The cumulative recurrence-free survival in the group 1 and the group 2 was better than the control group (95 ％ CI 0.31-0.92,P =0.0266;95 ％ CI 0.20-0.65,P =0.0008).All the cases underwent instillation were analyzed for adverse events.The incidence of overall AE(adverse events) in group 1 was 68.5％ (152/222),the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ AE was 53.2％ (118/222),the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE was 15.3％ (32/222).The incidence of overall AE in the group 2 was 71.8％ (160/223),the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ AE was 60.1％ (134/223),and the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE was 11.7％ (26/223).The overall AE rate in the control group was 53.2％ (59/111),of which the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ AE was 42.4％ (47/111),and the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE was 10.8％ (12/111).There was no difference in the incidence of overall AE between the group 1 and the group 2 (P =0.4497).The incidence of AE in the two experimental groups was higher than that in the control group (P =0.0062,P =0.0008).There was no difference in the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ AE between the three groups (P =0.3902).Conclusions BCG(19 instillation schedule) has a better effect on preventing recurrence after 1 year of bladder surgery,which is superior to epirubicin group.The long-term efficacy of BCG in preventing recurrence and the efficacy of different schedules need to be further followed up.The lower urinary tract symptoms,which are mainly urinary frequency,are one of the causes of case fallout and should be fouced in future.Compared with epirubicin,BCG perfusion does not increase the incidence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ adverse reactions,and is safe to use.

Objective: To study the effect of continuous static pressure on the endoplasmic reticulum of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) and the mechanism of osteogenic differentiation. Methods: hPDLCs cultured in vitro were subjected to 1 g/cm 2 of continuous compressive pressure (CCP) by custom-made, round, glass panes for 0, 2, 4, and 6 h, respectively. Alkaline phosphatase staining was used to detect osteogenic differentiation, and real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of protein kinase receptor-like ER kinase (PERK), eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), and transcription activation factor 4 (ATF-4). The 0 h loading group was the control group. Results: After CCP treatment, the alkaline phosphatase staining of hPDLCs was blue-violet and significantly stronger than that of cells in the control group. The expression levels of PERK and ATF4 in the hPDLCs after CCP treatment were higher than those of cells in the control group (P < 0.05) and increased over time (P < 0.05). The expression of eIF2α was lower in the experimental groups than in the control group (P < 0.05) and decreased over time (P < 0.05). Conclusion Mechanical stimulation can activate ERS in hPDLCs, leading to enhanced PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 signaling and inducing osteogenic differentiation.
