Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)small nucleolar RNA host gene 11(SNHG11)and hypoxia inducible factor(HIF)-1α and angiogenesis mimicry(VM)in ovarian cancer.Methods A total of 116 ovarian cancer patients admitted to Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from October 2019 to January 2023 were regarded as the research subjects.Based on whether VM had formed,ovarian cancer patients were grouped into VM group(n=51)and non VM group(n=65).Another 50 partients who underwent health examinations during the same period were regarded as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was applied to detect the expression levels of LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1α in serum of ovarian cancer patients and control groups.Spearman correlation was applied to detect the relationship between LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and VM formation.The diagnostic value of LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and their combined detection in the formation of VM in ovarian cancer patients was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum LncRNA SNHG11(3.01±0.88,2.21±0.68 vs 1.12±0.35)and HIF-1α(2.16±0.67,1.60±0.44 vs 1.01±0.31)in ovarian cancer patients with VM group and non VM group were increased(t=12.136,9.006;19.890,16.591,all P＞0.05),the levels of serum LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1αin the VM group were obviously higher than those in the non VM group(t=8.957,8.595),and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The expression of LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and the formation of VM were not related to age and tissue type(t=1.036,0.976,0.218;1.254,1.390,0.368,all P＞0.05),but were related to tumor size,FIGO staging,lymph node metastasis,and pathological grading(t=5.351,5.186,13.264;5.465,5.227,10.898;6.063,6.016,5.374;4.030,5.871,5.509,all P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that there were obvious positive correlations between LncRNA SNHG11,HIF-1α,and VM generation(r=0.560,0.494,all P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the areas under the curve(AUCs)of serum LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1α for diagnosing VM formation in ovarian cancer patients were 0.860 and 0.824,respectively,with sensitivity of 80.4%and 75.6%,specificity of 58.9%and 51.9%,respectively.The AUC of VM formation in ovarian cancer patients diagnosed by the combination of the two was 0.941,with sensitivity and specificity were 92.2%and 79.9%,respectively.Conclusion The abnormal expressions of LncRNA SNHG11 and HIF-1α were closely related to the formation of VM in ovarian cancer patients,and both may serve as potential biological indicators for judging VM.

Objective:To investigate the clinical practicability of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titrated by lung stretch index (SI) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:A parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients with moderate to severe ARDS who required mechanical ventilation admitted to the department of critical care medicine of General Hospital of the Yangtze River Shipping from August 2022 to February 2023 were enrolled. They were randomly divide into SI guided PEEP titration group (SI group) and pressure-volume curve (P-V curve) inspiratory low inflection point (LIP) guided PEEP titration group (LIP group). All patients were ventilated in a supine position after admission, with the head of the bed raised by 30°. The primary disease was actively treated, prone position ventilation for 12 h/d, and lung protective ventilation strategies such as controlled lung expansion were used for lung recruitment. On this basis, mechanical ventilation parameters were titrated with SI in the SI group; the LIP group titrated mechanical ventilation parameters with P-V curve inspiratory LIP+2 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O ≈ 0.098 kPa). The oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), and respiratory mechanics indicators such as lung dynamic compliance (Cdyn), peak airway pressure (Pip) were monitored before recruitment maneuver and after 1, 3, and 5 days of treatment. The therapeutic effect of the two groups was compared. Results:There were 41 patients in the SI group and 40 patients in the LIP group. There was no significant difference in general information such as gender, age, and disease type between the two groups. The mechanical ventilation time and the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay in the SI group were significantly shorter than those in the LIP group (days: 9.47±3.36 vs. 14.68±5.52, 22.27±4.68 vs. 27.57±9.52, both P < 0.05). Although the 28-day mortality of the SI group was lower than that of the LIP group, the difference was not statistically significant [19.5% (8/41) vs. 35.0% (14/40), P > 0.05]. On the fifth day, the PaO 2/FiO 2 was higher in SI group [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 225.57±47.85 vs. 198.32±31.59, P < 0.05], the Cdyn was higher in SI group (mL/cmH 2O: 47.39±6.71 vs. 35.88±5.35, P < 0.01), the Pip was lower in SI group (mmHg: 35.85±5.77 vs. 43.87±6.68, P < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed no statistically significant difference in the 28 days cumulative survival rate between the two groups (Log-Rank: χ2 = 2.348, P = 0.125). Conclusion:The application of SI titration with PEEP in the treatment of ARDS patients may improve their prognosis.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Huangqi Jiedu Decoction (HQJD) in the treatment of breast cancer with the syndrome of Zheng deficiency and toxic incandescence by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.Methods:The main active ingredients and targets of HQJD were screened through the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) systematic pharmacology database and analysis platform. The relevant targets of breast cancer with the syndrome of Zheng-deficiency, toxic-incandescence were obtained using OMIM, GeneGards and Drugbank databases, and the relevant targets of HQJD for the treatment of breast cancer with the syndrome of Zheng-deficiency and toxic incandescence were obtained by intersection; The Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used to build the protein protein interaction (PPI) network and the " drug active component target disease" network on the basis of String 11.0 database, and the core active components and core targets of HQJD in treating breast cancer with the syndrome of Zheng-deficiency and toxic-incandescence were inferred according to the topological parameters. gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed on core targets using R language; and molecular docking verification on the main active ingredients and core targets were conducted.Results:230 effective targets of active ingredients of HQJD were screened, and 15 467 active ingredients of breast cancer with syndrome of Zheng-deficiency/toxic-incandescence were obtained; 217 intersection targets; GO function enrichment analysis showed that the treatment of HQJD for breast cancer with the syndrome of Zheng-deficiency and toxic-incandescence mainly involved oxidative stress and cytochemical stress; The enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway showed that HQJD treatment of breast cancer with the syndrome of Zheng-deficiency and toxic-incandescence was mainly related to phosphatidylinositol 3-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt), interleukin-17 (IL-17) and other signal pathways. The molecular docking results showed that the main active ingredients such as β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, luteolin had good binding ability with core targets.Conclusions:HQJD has the characteristics of multi-component, multi target and multi pathway in the treatment of breast cancer with syndrome of Zheng-deficiency and toxic-incandescence, and its main mechanism may be related to PI3K-Akt, IL-17, P53 and other signal pathways.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of long board detector of digital radiography(DR)in clinical application.Methods:The long board detector(detector)was erected and placed upright.The scale long ruler with marked metal lead wire was placed at 20 cm in front of the center of long axis of the board of detector,which paralleled medial axis.Three test cards of spatial resolution were respectively placed at three positions(upper,middle and lower)of detector,and they were stuck on the board of detector as 30cm intervals between each other and 45° position.The exposures were conducted at 100,150,and 200 cm of source image distance(SID).The incident doses were tested,which obtained from different SID spots of upper,middle and lower positions of detector.The spatial resolutions of 3 positions were determined through observed the images of cards.The ratio of the marked scale length with metal lead wire to actual length of lead wire was measured through the projection of the scale length,so as to obtain the amplification rate of different spot positions.The spatial distribution of effective focal plane on the direction of long axis of detector,and the morphological change of that were observed.Results:When SID spots were respectively 100,150 and 200cm,the amplification rates of images decreased with increasing SID.The difference of amplification rates among three SID spots was significant(F=223.80,P<0.001).There was significant difference in the corresponding radiation doses among different SID spots(F=7.57,P<0.05).The spatial resolution was constantly 1.8 LP/mm.There was heel effect along with the direction of short axis of detector.The effective focal spot on the direction of long axis of detector appeared up-down symmetrical display.Conclusion:The long board detector of DR equipment has realized the capture for the images of the overall length of spine or the overall length of lower limbs in one exposure,which can meet the clinical requirement,and improve the detection efficiency of X-ray.

Abstract On May 30 2022, Changsha Center for Disease Control and Prevention received a report of multiple cases of fever from a kindergarten. A field epidemiology investigation, laboratory testing, and control and prevention work were immediately conducted. A total of 76 cases were reported, and all were students, with an attack rate of 9.93%. The onset of illness was peaked between May 18 and June 8. The main clinical symptoms were fever, cough and sore throat, and all the cases were mild. There were 39 cases tested positive for human adenovirus (HAdV) nucleic acid or antigen, and 7 nucleic acid positive specimens were identified as HAdV-7 through virus isolation, culture and genotyping. The field epidemiology investigation and laboratory testing results concluded that it was a clustered outbreak caused by HAdV-7 infection. The main reason for the spread of the outbreak might be that the kindergarten failed to report it in time. High student density, poor classroom ventilation, lax morning and afternoon inspections, non-standard daily disinfection, and the prevalence of HAdV outbreaks in the community were also associated. Kindergartens should improve its infectious disease prevention and control mechanism, strictly follow the reporting regulations, implement the three early measures, standardize disinfection work, and enhance daily ventilation to avoid similar outbreaks in the future.

To explore the effectiveness of "near peer learning" (NPL) in the electromyography(EMG)teaching module for neurology residents.

Felids are the unique definitive host of Toxoplasma gondii. The intestine of felid is the only site for initiating Toxoplasma gondii sexual reproduction. T. gondii excretes millions of infectious oocysts from the intestine, which are the primary source of infection. There are many difficulties in developing vaccines and drugs to control oocyst excretion due to the lack of an appropriate experimental model. Here, we established an in vitro feline intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) infection system and an efficient animal model of T. gondii Chinese 1 genotype, Wh6 strain (TgCtwh6). The Kunming mice brain tissues containing TgCtwh6 cysts were harvested 42-day post-infection. The bradyzoites were co-cultured with cat IECs in vitro at a ratio of 1:10. Five 3-month-old domestic cats were orally inoculated with 600 cysts each. The oocysts were detected by daily observation of cat feces by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction. We found that the parasite adhered and invaded cat IECs in vitro, transformed into tachyzoites, and then divided to form rose-like structures. These parasites eventually destroyed host cells, escaped, and finished the asexual reproduction process. Schizonts associated with sexual reproduction have not been observed during development in vitro cultured cells. However, schizonts were detected in all infected cat intestinal epithelial cells, and oocysts were presented in all cat feces. Our study provides a feasible cell model and an efficient infection system for the following studies of T. gondii sexual reproduction, and also lays a foundation to develop drugs and vaccines for blocking excretion and transmission of oocysts.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy between proximal femoral biomimetic intramedullary nail (PFBN) and traditional proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedullary nail (PFNA) in the treatment of senile osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures.Methods:The data were retrospectively analyzed of the 92 elderly patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from April to October in 2021. According to their internal fixation methods, the patients were divided into 2 groups.In the PFBN group of 46 patients, there were 22 males and 24 females, with an age of (75.7±5.2) years and time from injury to operation of (3.1±0.4) d; in the PFNA group of 46 patients, there were 20 males and 26 females, with an age of (75.3±4.2) years and time from injury to operation of (3.3±0.5) d. Recorded were the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, fracture reduction quality, postoperative weight bearing time, hip function and complications at the last follow-up.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The operation time in the PFBN group was (47.3±11.4) min, significantly longer than that in the PFNA group [(39.2±15.3) min] ( P<0.05); the postoperative weight-bearing time in the former was (7.9±2.7) d, significantly shorter than that in the PFNA group [(21.2±5.7) d] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the intraoperative blood loss [(130.6±21.3) mL versus (123.5±17.8) mL], hospital stay [(4.2±1.6) d versus (4.6±2.1) d], the excellent and good rate of Francisco score [89.1% (41/46) versus 87.0% (40/46)], fracture healing time [(12.3±0.5) weeks versus (12.6±0.7) weeks], or the excellent and good rate of Harris hip score at the last follow-up [89.1% (41/46) versus 87.0% (40/46)] (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Both PFBN and PFNA can achieve satisfactory clinical results in the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly patients, but PFBN may provide more reliable early stability and reduce patient bedtime than PFNA.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of measles outbreaks in China from 2016 to 2020 and related outbreak investigations and response performances.Methods:The information about the incidence of measles outbreaks, the investigation and response of measles outbreaks in 31 provinces from 2016 to 2020 were collected from Measles Surveillance System, and the incidence of suspected measles outbreaks detected through sporadic case finding during the same period according to the measles outbreak definition was analyzed.Results:From 2016 to 2020, a total of 344 measles outbreaks were reported nationwide, involving 1 886 measles cases. The median of intervals between the first case onsets and reported outbreaks ranged from 4 to 10 days, the median of the numbers of involved cases ranged from 2 to 3, and the median of the duration of the epidemic ranged from 8 to 13 days, and some outbreaks had long durations of 65,44,28,63 and 13 days. The top three provinces with high number of reported outbreaks were Gansu, Beijing and Shandong. Among the reported outbreaks, 115 occurred in communities/villages, accounting for the highest proportion. The genotype identification results indicated that all the outbreaks in 2016 were caused by measles virus H1, and the proportion of the outbreaks caused by measles virus H1 decreased year by year since then, which was 88.57% (31/35) in 2017, 85.00% (17/20) in 2018 and 15.79% (3/19) in 2019 respectively. There was no outbreak caused by measles H1 reported in 2020, the 4 isolates all belonged to genotype D8. Active case findings were conducted in local medical institutions for 313 outbreaks, and measles-containing vaccine coverage surveys were conducted for 266 outbreaks. From 2016 to 2020, a total of 919 suspected measles outbreaks were detected nationwide, involving 4 212 measles cases. The top three provinces with suspected measles outbreaks were Xinjiang, Gansu and Sichuan. The suspected measles outbreaks also mainly occurred in communities/villages (493).Conclusions:The number, scale and duration of measles outbreaks were gradually decreasing, the measles outbreaks at the community level can not be ignored, and the local H1 genotypes tend to be gradually replaced by other genotypes. Improving the sensitivity of outbreak surveillance, promoting vaccination, expanding the vaccine coverage, timely and effective response to the outbreaks are the focus of measles elimination in China in the future.

Objective: To investigate the current status of professional identity among the undergraduates majoring in public affairs management and the related influence factors. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among the 115 undergraduates majoring in public affairs management in a medical university in Harbin, China, and the contents of the questionnaires included general status and professional identity. The t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of professional identity. In-depth interviews were conducted for some students to explore the profound influencing factors for professional identity among the students majoring in public affairs management. Results: The overall level of professional identity was low among the undergraduates majoring in public affairs management in the medical university in Harbin, and the score of professional identity was 3.25±0.56. The scores of cognitive dimension, emotional dimension, behavioral dimension, and applicable dimension were 3.41±0.69, 3.21±0.78, 3.24±0.71, and 3.13±0.72, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that grade, academic performance, major selection, and children number in family had significant influence on their professional identity. The students who were at grade four, who had high academic record (b=-0.276, P<0.01), who chose this major independently (b=-0.277, P<0.01), and who were the only child (b=-0.233, P<0.05) had a high score of professional identity. As for the undergraduates at different grades, the undergraduates at grades two and three had a significantly lower score of professional identity than those at grade four (b=-0.296 and -0.369, P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between the undergraduates at grades one and four (b=-0.008, P>0.05). Furthermore, the students with a high score of professional identity had higher possibility to pursue the job related to this major than those with a low score (3.39±0.53 vs. 2.92±0.49, t=4.414, P<0.01). Conclusion Universities should strengthen the publicity of the major of public affairs management, optimize the curriculum, and add job experience, so as to enhance professional identity among students with this major and provide talent for the field of public health management.
