		                        			Objective To explore the relevant relationship and specificity between the implicit and explicit loyalty of military cadets in order to provide a theoretical basis and objective indicators for a more comprehensive and objective assessment for individual loyalty.Methods E-Prime 2.0,a classic implicit association paradigm was employed to construct an implicit association loyalty test for 64 military cadets.Simultaneously,an explicit loyalty measurement was conducted using the Chinese Military Personnel Loyalty Scale.Results ① Significant implicit effect was observed in the loyalty assessment of military cadets,indicating a general tendency to perceive higher levels of personal loyalty and lower levels of loyalty to external entities.② Explicit loyalty assessment revealed that the participants had the highest loyalty score towards the Party,the Nation,and the People(4.79±0.34),followed by the loyalty score to their profession(4.38±0.53),and the relatively lower loyalty score towards the unit and leaders(4.03±0.83).Among the 3 dimensions of loyalty,the normative loyalty score ranked highest,while continuance loyalty score took lower.③ There were no correlations among the scores of loyalty to the Party,the Nation,and the People(r=-0.030,P=0.823),to the profession(r=-0.047,P=0.728),to the unit(r=0.050,P=0.710),or to the leaders(r=0.043,P=0.749).Conclusion The implicit effect in the loyalty assessment is significant in military cadets,and there is no significant correlation between explicit and implicit loyalty measurements.Thus,we cannot rely solely on explicit measurements to assess their loyalty attitudes.

		                        			 To analyze the correlation between preoperative hypoproteinemia and the risk of perioperative allogeneic erythrocyte transfusion in ovarian cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery. Ovarian cancer patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively included. Clinical data such as the patients' general information, preoperative plasma albumin, American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) classification, intraoperative bleeding volume, operation time, perioperative (intraoperative and within 3 d postoperatively)allogeneic red blood cell transfusion were collected, and the correlation between preoperative hypoproteinemia (plasma albumin < 35 g/L) and the risk of allogeneic red blood cell infusion was analyzed by using multivariate Logistic regression. A total of 1001 ovarian cancer patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled, of which 64 (6.4%) had preoperative hypoproteinemia and 481(48.1%) received perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion. The rate of perioperative allogeneic red blood cell transfusion was higher in the patients with hypoproteinemia than in those without hypoproteinemia [84.4% (54/64)  Preoperative hypoalbuminemia could be associated with the increased risk of perioperative transfusion in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the distributions of ABO and RhD blood groups by analyzing the basic data of blood group detection among voluntary blood donors in Huainan in 2021, to provide data support for blood recruitment, clinical use of blood, and emergency guarantee of rare groups of blood.Methods:ABO and RhD blood groups of 24 484 voluntary blood donors eligible for blood donation in 2021 were detected using the Metis150-8 automatic blood group analyzer, manual saline method, antihuman globulin method, and manual polybrene test. The blood group results were statistically analyzed.Results:Among 24 484 voluntary blood donors in Huainan in 2021, A blood group accounted for the highest proportion (7 463 cases, 30.48%), followed by O blood group (7 444 cases, 30.40%) and B blood group (7 056 cases, 28.82%), and the last was AB blood group (2 521 cases, 10.30%). A total of 143 cases of RhD-negative blood were detected, and the negative frequency of RhD was 0.58% (143/24 484). Among the RhD-negative blood samples, 43 cases of type A, 41 cases of type B, 46 cases of type O, and 13 cases of type AB were RhD-negative, accounting for 30.07%, 28.67%, 32.17%, and 9.09%, respectively. There was no statistical difference in the detection rate of Rh-negative blood among different ABO blood groups in Huainan ( χ2 = 0.36, P = 0.948). The ABO blood group distribution of voluntary blood donors in Huainan in 2021 was not identical to those of voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou, Yueyang, Xinjiang Bozhou, Zhangzhou, and Liuzhou. The proportion of type A blood donors in Yueyang was higher than those in other regions. The proportions of type B blood donors in Huainan, Xinjiang Bozhou, and Zhangzhou were higher than those in other regions. The proportion of type O blood donors in Liuzhou was higher than those in other regions. The proportions of type AB blood donors in Huainan and Xinjiang Bozhou were higher than those in other regions. Conclusion:The distributions of ABO and RhD blood groups among voluntary blood donors in Huainan region have certain regional characteristics. Central blood banks and medical institutions should reasonably store and supply blood according to the blood collection from voluntary blood donations and the needs of clinical transfusion, to prevent the occurrence of situations such as blood expiration and waste.

		                        			To explore the level of secreted phosphoprotein 24(SPP24) and its association with cardiac valve calcification(CVC), cardiovascular events(CVE) in patients with hemodialysis patients.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			Eighty-eight maintenance hemodialysis patients were enrolled in the study. All patients were assessed for cardiac valve calcification by echocardiography. According to the results of echocardiography, patients were divided into two groups: cardiac valve calcification group and the group without cardiac valve calcification. The levels of SPP24 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum SPP24 levels were compared between CVC group and the group without cardiac valve calcification. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between SPP24 and cardiac valve calcification. The factors for calcification of the mitral and aortic valves were explored. The cases were followed up and cardiovascular events were recorded. COX regression model was used to analyze the factors for cardiovascular events.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			There were 47 patients in CVC group, the levels of SPP24 in CVC group were lower than those in the group without cardiac valve calcification(P=0.040). Twenty-two patients had calcification of the mitral and aortic valves. Logistic regression analysis showed that older age(OR=1.055), hyperphosphatemia(OR=8.234) were risk factors for CVC, higher SPP24(OR=0.997) was a protective factor. Older age(OR=1.086) and hyperphosphatemia(OR=7.393) were risk factors for calcification of the mitral and aortic valves, higher SPP24(OR=0.964) level was a protective factor. Patients were followed up, the follow-up intervals were from 2 to 14 months, and it was found that CVC(HR=4.156) increased the risk of cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients, high SPP24 level(HR=0.976) reduced the risk of cardiovascular events. Calcification of the mitral and aortic valves increased the risk for cardiovascular events(HR=3.071). 
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			The incidence of cardiac valve calcification in maintenance hemodialysis patients is as high as 53.41%. Older age and hyperphosphatemia are risk factors for CVC, while high SPP24 level is a protective factor for CVC. CVC is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, and high SPP24 level is a protective factor for cardiovascular events.

		                        			Objective:To disclose the epidemiological characteristics of the first human case of H9N2 subtype avian influenza and genetic characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) gene of H9N2 avian influenza virus in Jiangsu province.Methods:Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was used to detect the nucleic acid of influenza virus A/B and various subtypes from throat swab specimens of patients with acute and severe respiratory infections of unknown cause. Sanger method was used to sequence the vial HA gene of H9N2 positive specimens. N-J phylogenetic tree of HA gene was constructed by using MEGA X software.Results:The first laboratory confirmed case of human infection with H9N2 avian influenza virus in Jiangsu province in March 2019 was reported by Suzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Sequence analysis of the HA gene showed that the A/Suzhou/S683/2019 (H9N2) strain belonged to Y280-like sub-lineage of the Eurasian lineage, which had 99.23% nucleic acid identity with A/chicken/Shanghai/S1171/2018 (H9N2) strain. The amino acid sequence of the HA protein cleavage site is PSRSSR↓GLF, and the key amino acid in receptor binding site shared Q226L mutation. The location of potential glycosylation sites of HA protein of A/Suzhou/S683/2019 (H9N2) have changed.Conclusions:The H9N2 avian influenza virus obtained from the first case in Jiangsu province has low pathogenicity, but it may have acquired part of the ability to adapt to human hosts.

		                        			L-2-aminobutyric acid (L-ABA) is an important chemical raw material and chiral pharmaceutical intermediate. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient method for L-ABA production from L-threonine using a trienzyme cascade route with Threonine deaminase (TD) from Escherichia. coli, Leucine dehydrogenase (LDH) from Bacillus thuringiensis and Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii. In order to simplify the production process, the activity ratio of TD, LDH and FDH was 1:1:0.2 after combining different activity ratios in the system in vitro. The above ratio was achieved in the recombinant strain E. coli 3FT+L. Moreover, the transformation conditions were optimized. Finally, we achieved L-ABA production of 68.5 g/L with a conversion rate of 99.0% for 12 h in a 30-L bioreactor by whole-cell catalyst. The environmentally safe and efficient process route represents a promising strategy for large-scale L-ABA production in the future.

		                        			The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of lidocaine on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 and MMP-2 activity in plasma, and the effects of lidocaine on LPS-induced acute lung injury(ALI). Mice were pretreated with lidocaine(2, 4, 8 mg/kg )for 30 minutes, and then treated with 10 mg/kg LPS(ip)for 12 h to induce ALI. The 7-day survival rate and lung wet/dry weight ratio of mice were monitored. Phosphorylation level of p38 was measured by western blot. The activity of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in plasma was evaluated by gelatin zymography. The results showed that pretreatment with lidocaine could significantly reduce the death rate of ALI mice as well as the lung wet/dry weight ratio in a dose-dependent manner and suppress the activity of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in plasma. Moreover, lidocaine also markedly inhibited LPS-induced upregulation of p-p38 in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, lidocaine alleviated LPS-induced acute lung injury by suppressing MMP-9 and MMP-2 activity.
