ObjectiveTo analyze the diversity and structural characteristics of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased Andrographis paniculata and to explore the interactions of soil， plants， and microorganisms during the occurrence of diseases. MethodsThe physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A.paniculata were determined， and the composition and diversity of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil were analyzed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore， the correlations between physicochemical properties and microorganisms of the rhizosphere soil were explored. ResultsThe content of total nitrogen， total potassium， and available potassium in the rhizosphere soil of diseased A. paniculata was significantly higher than that of healthy A. paniculata. The alpha diversity and richness （operational taxonomic units） of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants decreased compared with those of healthy plants. The microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A. paniculata showed similar composition but different relative abundance. At the phylum level， the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Chytridiomycota significantly increased， while that of Bacteroidota significantly decreased in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. At the genus level， the relative abundance of Sphingomonas， Pseudomonas， and Bryobacter significantly increased， while that of RB41 showed a significant decrease in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. The correlation analysis showed different correlations of microbial phyla with physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil between healthy and diseased plants. Organic matter， alkaline nitrogen， available phosphorus， and total potassium were correlated with the relative abundance of some dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in the rhizosphere soil of healthy plants， while available nitrogen and total phosphorus were correlated with the relative abundance of some dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. ConclusionThere are differences in the diversity and richness of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A. paniculata. The physicochemical properties of soil may have an impact on the rhizosphere microorganisms of A. paniculata， leading to the development of diseases. The results provide a scientific basis for the prevention and ecological management of A. paniculata diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of SH2B1 rs7359397 （C>T） polymorphism with the progression to hepatic fibrosis in the elderly patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease （MASLD） in Beijing， China， and to provide an important genetic basis for the precise subtyping， prognostic evaluation， and individualized treatment of elderly MASLD patients in China. MethodsA total of 505 elderly patients （aged ≥65 years） who participated in regular physical examination in Mentougou Kuangshan Hospital of Beijing Jingmei Group General Hospital from November 2020 to September 2021 and were diagnosed with MASLD by abdominal ultrasound were enrolled as MASLD group， and 381 elderly population who underwent physical examination in the same community hospital during the same period of time and were not found to have MASLD by abdominal ultrasound were enrolled as control group. FibroScan was used to measure liver fat content and determine fibrosis stage. The 96-well microfluidic chip technique was used to identify SH2B1 rs7359397 polymorphism. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between the two groups， and the chi-square test or the adjusted chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent predictive factors for MASLD and its comorbidities. ResultsCompared with the control group， the MASLD group had a significantly younger age and significantly higher levels of waist circumference， hip circumference， waist-hip ratio， body mass index （BMI）， alanine aminotransferase， aspartate aminotransferase， triglyceride， platelet count， and fibrosis-4 （FIB-4） index， as well as a significantly lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （all P<0.05）. Among the 381 patients in the control group， 264 （69.29%） had genotype CC and 117 （30.71%） had genotype CT+TT， while among the 505 patients in the MASLD group， 317 （62.77%） had genotype CC and 188 （37.23%） had genotype CT+TT， suggesting that the MASLD group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with genotype CT+TT compared with the control group （χ²=4.09， P=0.043）. In the MASLD group， compared with the genotype CC group， the genotype CT+TT group had a significantly lower proportion of patients with FIB-4 ≥2 or atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases （P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age， sex， and BMI， carrying T allele was a protective factor against progressive hepatic fibrosis （odds ratio ［OR］=0.481， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.249 — 0.929， P=0.029）. In the subgroups of comorbidities with hypertension， metabolic syndrome， and obesity， genotype CT+TT was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of progressive hepatic fibrosis （hypertension： OR=0.27， 95%CI：0.09 — 0.77， P=0.014； metabolic syndrome： OR=0.30， 95%CI： 0.11 — 0.79， P=0.015； obesity： OR=0.11， 95%CI： 0.03 — 0.48， P=0.003）. After adjustment for age， sex， and BMI， in the patients with MASLD， the patients with genotype CT+TT had a significant reduction in the prevalence rate of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases compared with those with genotype CC （OR=0.506， 95%CI：0.336 — 0.761， P=0.001）. ConclusionSH2B1 rs7359397 （C>T） polymorphism is associated with the reduction in the risk of hepatic fibrosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases in MASLD patients.

Background The power industry is characterized by typical shift work systems, with 24-hour uninterrupted work demands, high intensity and high standard job characteristics, as well as emergent task pressure, which exposes employees to the long-term dual pressure of shift work and occupational stress and may lead to occupational burnout. It not only endangers the physical and mental health of employees, but also threaten the safe and stable operation of the power system. Objective To explore the impact of shift work and occupational stress, as well as their potential interaction, on occupational burnout among employees in power enterprises. Methods From November 2024 to April 2025, cluster sampling was used to select 1378 workers from two power companies in Fuzhou. A self-designed questionnaire, the Effort-Reward Imbalance model, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to investigate the participants’ general information，shift work patterns, occupational stress, and occupational burnout. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 19.0 software. Chi-square test was employed for intergroup comparison. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between shift work, occupational stress, and job burnout. The multiplicative interaction and additive interaction between shift work and occupational stress on occupational burnout were evaluated. Results A total of 1378 questionnaires were distributed, and 1113 were valid questionnaires, with an effective rate of 80.77%. Among the participants, 37.92% were engaged in shift work, the positive rate of occupational stress was 29.83%, and the positive rate of occupational burnout was 55.80%. The logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the risks of occupational burnout in the non-shift x occupational stress group and the shift x occupational stress group were 1.59 times (95%CI: 1.12, 2.27; P=0.01) and 4.07 times (95%CI: 2.56, 6.45; P<0.01) higher than that in the non-shift x non-occupational stress group. A multiplicative interaction (shift work and occupational stress b=0.75, P=0.01, OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.18, 3.80) and an additive interaction (relative excess risk ratio=2.24, 95%CI: 0.54, 3.94; attributable fraction=0.55, 95%CI: 0.32, 0.78; interaction index=3.71, 95%CI: 1.47, 9.40) between shift work and occupational stress on job burnout were identified. Conclusion Shift work and occupational stress are risk factors for occupational burnout among employees in power enterprises, and there is a synergistic interaction between these two factors in terms of their impact on occupational burnout.

Objective:To discuss the clinical manifestations and laboratory examination results of agranulocytosis and reactive plasmacytosis(RP)in the patient with Graves'disease(GD)after treated with methimazole(MMI),and to provide the basis for the clinicians to differentiate RP from multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations,diagnosis and treatment processes of one patient with GD agranulocytosis complicated with RP were analyzed,and the related literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient had a history of GD and abdominal infection.Upon admission,a complete blood count revealed a significant decrease in white blood cell count accompanied by neutropenia,and a smear re-examination showed suspicious plasma cells.The bone marrow cytology examination results showed the percentage of bone marrow plasma cells was 33％,and the percentage of plasma cells in peripheral blood was 4％;the serum immunoglobulin results showed polyclonal hyperplasia;the serum immunofixation electrophoresis results were negative;the flow cytometry analysis results indicated the immunophenotype of the plasma cells was normal.Based on the medical history and laboratory results,MM was largely excluded,supporting the diagnosis of RP.Neutropenia was considered to be related to medication,so MMI was discontinued,granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was administered to increase the number of white blood cells,and specialized GD treatment was conducted after controlling the abdominal infection.The patient had a good prognosis,and his blood count was normal upon re-examination 6 months later.Conclusion:Agranulocytosis complicated with RP in the GD patients is clinically rare.Serum immunofixation electrophoresis,blood cell morphology,and cell immunophenotype analysis are helpful for the accurate diagnosis.After actively treating the primary disease causing RP,the patient's prognosis is favorable.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic simple repair technique and en-hanced repair technique in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability(CLAI).Methods Forty-one cases of CLAI treated in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command of PLA from January 2018 to January 2019 were selected and conducted arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair or enhanced repair treatment.The follow up data in 39 cases were complete.Among them,18 cases conducted the anterior talofibular ligament repair with wire anchor under arthroscopy and were included in the repair group,while 21 cases conducted the arthroscopic enhanced repair with linear anchors and knots free anchors and were included in the enhanced re-pair group.The postoperative follow up lasted for 12 months.The VAS score and AOFAS ankle-hind foot score before operation and in postoperative,3,6,12 months were compared between the two groups.The effi-cacies of treating CLAI by the two operation modes were evaluated.Results The preoperative VAS score and AOFAS ankle-hind foot score had no statistical differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).The VAS score at postoperative time points had no statistical difference between the enhanced repair group and repair group(P＞0.05).The AOFAS ankle-hind foot score in the enhanced repair group was higher than that in the repair group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).No serious complications occurred in the grouped patients during the follow up period.Conclusion In terms of pain and ankle function,the effect of arthroscopic enhanced repair in treating CLAI is better than that of simple repair.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the combination of total saponin of Astragali Radix-total alkaloids of Nelumbinis Folium on reversal cholesterol transport （RCT） in hyperlipidemia rats， and to discuss its mechanism. MethodSixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group， high-fat diet group， total saponin of Astragali Radix-total alkaloids of Nelumbinis Folium low （17 mg·kg^-1+40 mg·kg^-1）， middle （34 mg·kg^-1+80 mg·kg^-1）， high dose （68 mg·kg^-1+160 mg·kg^-1） groups and simvastatin （2.1 mg·kg^-1） group， with 10 mice in each group. The Hyperlipidemia model was duplicated by feeding rats with a high-fat diet for 6 weeks. From the 3rd week， except for the control group and the high-fat diet group given distilled water， other groups were given corresponding drugs intragastric treatment for 4 weeks. The changes in blood lipid and liver function of rats were detected by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and oil red O staining were used to observe the pathological morphological changes and steatosis of rat liver tissue. The contents of total cholesterol （TC） and total bile acid （TBA） in rat liver tissue and feces were determined by a semi-automatic biochemical analyzer. The mRNA and protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors γ （PPARγ）， liver X receptors α （LXRα）， ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 （ABCG1） and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase （CYP7A1） in rat liver tissue were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group， the contents or activities of TC， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， TBA， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT） in serum were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the contents of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） in the high-fat diet group were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The hepatocyte was clearly swollen like ballooning degeneration， with a lot of fat vacuoles and red fat droplets. The contents of TC and TBA in liver tissue and feces were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the mRNA and protein expression levels of PPARγ， LXRα， ABCG1， and CYP7A1 in liver tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the high-fat diet group， the contents or activities of TC， TG， LDL-C， TBA， AST， and ALT in the serum of rats in administered groups were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， while the content of HDL-C was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Hepatocyte swelling was significantly reduced， and the ballooning degeneration， fat vacuoles， and red lipid droplets in liver tissue were significantly decreased. The contents of TC and TBA in liver tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the contents of TC and TBA in feces were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression levels of PPARγ， LXRα， ABCG1， and CYP7A1 in liver tissue were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionTotal saponin of Astragali Radix-total alkaloids of Nelumbinis Folium has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia rats， and its mechanism may be related to the activation of PPARγ/LXRα/ABCG1 signaling pathway and regulation of RCT.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of continuous photoplethysmography algorithms for atrial fibrillation diagnosis and atrial fibrillation burden evaluation via wearable devices.Methods:This study was a self-controlled prospective cohort study. A total of 254 consecutive inpatients were recruited from the Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from September 2022 to November 2022. All participants were required to wear two devices at the same time: (1) an electrocardiogram (ECG) watch for acquisition of photoplethysmography (watch-recorded-photoplethysmography, W-PPG) and electrocardiogram (watch-recorded-electrocardiogram, W-ECG); (2) an ECG patch for acquisition of electrocardiogram (patch-recorded-electrocardiogram, P-ECG). The results were measured in 30 s data segments and individual participants, separately, which were calculated for sensitivity and specificity by comparing them with the results of expert-read ECG according to the receiver operating characteristic curve. Four groups were separated according to the proportion of the atrial fibrillation burden, and the difference of atrial fibrillation burden from algorithm and expert-read ECG was calculated.Results:All 254 subjects completed the study. The mean age of participants was (63.04±11.04) years old, 99 (38.98%) of them were female, and 97 (38.19%) patients had persistent atrial fibrillation. Expert-read ECG results were taken as standard criteria in all calculations. The P-ECG algorithm had a sensitivity of 94.86% (95% CI: 94.81%-94.91%) and a specificity of 99.30% (95% CI: 99.28%-99.31%) when measured in data segments. The W-PPG algorithm had a sensitivity of 96.07% (95% CI: 95.97%-96.18%) and a specificity of 98.62% (95% CI: 98.59%-98.65%). When measured in terms of individual participants, the P-ECG algorithm had a sensitivity of 92.55% (95% CI: 87.57%-95.71%) and a specificity of 96.39% (95% CI: 93.45%-98.09%), while the W-PPG algorithm had a sensitivity of 93.71% (95% CI: 88.75%-96.67%) and a specificity of 89.62% (95% CI: 85.61%-92.65%). When measured in terms of a single acquisition of W-ECG records, the W-ECG algorithm had a sensitivity of 92.04% (95% CI: 88.14%-94.78%) and a specificity of 96.19% (95% CI: 94.35%-97.47%). For atrial fibrillation burden assessment, the difference between the W-PPG analysis results and the expert-read ECG results was less than 2% in all burden distribution intervals. Conclusions:Continuous photoplethysmography algorithm applied to wearable devices to detect atrial fibrillation is a feasible strategy. Taking expert-read ECG results as standard, continuous monitoring of PPG by a smartwatch is highly accurate for atrial fibrillation diagnosis and can also be used to effectively complete atrial fibrillation burden assessment.

Objective It compared the power consumption and electrical parameters between Thulium fiber laser devices(TFL)and Holmium laser devices(HoL)in transurethral enucleation of prostate(TUEP).Methods A sin-gle surgeon conducted TUEP by THL or HoL in 10 patients respectively.The enucleation efficiency,the laser energy output and the electric parameters were recorded and analyzed.Results The data from both groups of surgeries were tested for normal distribution,and the t-test found that the difference in the enucleation efficiency between the two surgeries was not statistically significant(P=0.818),and the energy consumption indexes of the two devices were comparable.The difference in the total kilojoules of laser emission between the two lasers during surgery was not statistically significant(P=0.148),but the power consumption of the thulium laser was about one-tenth of that of the holmium laser(P＜0.001),suggesting that the former utilised electrical energy significantly more efficiently than the latter.The maximum current of the HoL was significantly higher than that of the TFL(P＜0.001),requiring a spe-cial high-power power outlet.Conclusion TFL was superior to HoL in terms of lower power consumption,higher en-ergy-efficient and electrical convenient in transurethral enucleation of the prostate.
