OBJECTIVE To observe whether mitochondria can be transferred from mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)to irradiated cells by establishing a mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system.METHODS The lentiviral vector pSIN-EF1α-COX8A-DsRed2(named COX8A-DsRed2)that might guide the expres-sion of red fluorescence protein in the membrane of mitochondria was constructed.A lentivirus(named Lv-COX8A-DsRed2)was prepared in 293T cell line.Dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs)(named DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2)was infected with Lv-COX8A-DsRed2.The intracellular expression of the red fluores-cence protein in DPSC was observed under fluorescence microcopy.The mitochondrial localization of the expressed red fluorescent probe in DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 was confirmed according to TOMM20 immunostaining and MitoTracker Green staining results,which could specifically label mitochondria.The IEC-6 cells that received 10 Gy X-ray radiation were used as an injured cell model.The co-culture system was established by supplementing DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 into the culture plate with the irradi-ated IEC-6 labelled by CFSE for 24 h.RESULTS The imaging results of fluorescent microcopy obser-vation showed that DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 expressed the mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system,which was co-located with TOMM20 protein and Mito Tracker Green.The imaging results of confocal fluorescence microcopy showed that the mitochondria with red fluorescent protein were transferred from DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 to the irradiated IEC-6 cells,suggesting that the established mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system could indicate mitochondrial transfer from donor cells to injured ones.CONCLUSION DPSC-COX8A-DsRed2 stably expressing the mitochondrial fluorescent reporting system is established,which can be used to track mitochondrial transfer.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and liver function of the population with occupational exposure to hepatotoxicants. Methods A total of 17 093 workers with occupational hepatotoxicants exposure who underwent occupational medical examination during their employment in a occupational medical examination institution of Shanghai in 2021 were selected as the research subjects by judgement sampling method. Occupational medical examination data were collected, and the prevalence of abnormal liver function and fatty liver were analyzed. The association between hepatotoxicants exposure and abnormal liver function were analyzed. Results The median and the 0th-100th percentiles of the duration of exposure to hepatotoxicants was 6.5(1.0-42.0) years. The prevalence of fatty liver was 48.4% and the incidence of abnormal liver function was 23.7%. Among the workers with fatty liver, the prevalence of abnormal liver function was higher in workers exposed to metals, metalloids and their compounds than in unexposed workers (33.9% vs 30.0%, P<0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the risk of abnormal liver function increased with the number of different hepatotoxicants mixed exposures (all P<0.01), after correcting for confounding factors including gender, age, years of exposure, marital status, drinking, hypertension, fatty liver and blood sugar. Conclusion Exposure to hepatotoxicants is a risk factor for abnormal liver function. The more diverse types of hepatotoxicants an individual is exposed to, the stronger the association with this risk.

The main modifications are as follows: the occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to toluene (xylene may implement by reference), bromopropane, methyl iodide, ethylene oxide, chloroacetic acid, indium and its compounds, coal tar, coal tarasphalt, asphalt, β-naphthylamine, dust of metal and its compounds(tin, iron, antimony, barium and its compounds), hard metal dust, erionite dust, low temperature, laser, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Borrelia burgdorferi, and human immunodeficiency virus, for scraper or grind operators, and underground workers using squatting or kneeling position, crawling position, side-lying position, or shoulder position for a long period of time are included. The emergency health screening for workers exposed to arsenic, fluorine and its inorganic compounds, and acrylamide are included. The occupational medical examination (OME) for workers exposed to amino and nitro compounds of benzene, phosgene, monomethylamine, organic fluorine and dimethyl sulfate has been adjusted and made mandatory, with corresponding assessments required upon leaving the job. The special occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus is removed. The OME conclusion of reexamination is removed, and standardize recheck/additional inspection requirements. The optional items in OME performed before, during and after leaving post are removed, but the optional items in emergency medical examination are retained. Additional OME items are added. The Guideline for OME Summary Reports is added as informative appendix, and so on. The revised GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance is more scientific and practical.

Periodontitis is a complex chronic inflammatory disease. The invasion of pathogens induces the inflammatory microenvironment in periodontitis. Cell behavior changes in response to changes in the microenvironment, which in turn alters the local inflammatory microenvironment of the periodontium through factors secreted by cells. It has been confirmed that periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are vital in the development of periodontal disease. Moreover, PDLSCs are the most effective cell type to be used for periodontium regeneration. This review focuses on changes in PDLSCs, their basic biological behavior, osteogenic differentiation, and drug effects caused by the inflammatory microenvironment, to provide a better understanding of the influence of these factors on periodontal tissue homeostasis. In addition, we discuss the underlying mechanism in detail behind the reciprocal responses of PDLSCs that affect the microenvironment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a child with succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of the proband and his parents were collected and subjected to Sanger sequencing. High-throughput sequencing was used to verify the gene variants. Bioinformatic software was used to analyze the pathogenicity of the variant sites. RESULTS: Sanger sequencing showed that the proband carried a homozygous c.1529C>T (p.S510F) variant of the ALDH5A1 gene, for which his mother was a carrier. The same variant was not detected in his father. However, high-throughput sequencing revealed that the child and his father both had a deletion of ALDH5A1 gene fragment (chr6: 24 403 265-24 566 986). CONCLUSION The c.1529C>T variant of the ALDH5A1 gene and deletion of ALDH5A1 gene fragment probably underlay the disease in the child. High-throughput sequencing can detect site variation as well as deletion of gene fragment, which has enabled genetic diagnosis and counseling for the family.

Objective:To report the surgical techniques and clinical outcomes of multi-dimensional fixation of patellar multi-fragmentary fractures with locking plates.Methods:A retrospective study was performed in the 26 patients with patellar multi-fragmentary fracture who had undergone open reduction and 3-D internal fixation with locking plates from November 2016 to July 2020 at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There were 17 males and 9 females, with an average age of 62.6 years (from 31 to 90 years). The patellar fractures were exposed and reduced via the longitudinal anterior midline incision of the knee. After the reduction was initially maintained with a cerclage wire, a trimmed and pre-contoured 3.5 mm locking plate was applied onto the patellar surface. After-wards, locking screws were inserted from the lower pole to the upper pole of the patella, from the anterior to the posterior and from the lateral to the medial, respectively, to complete the multi-planar fixation. Follow-ups assessed the B?stman score, knee pain visual analogue scale (VAS), radiographic image and fracture healing, range of motion of the knee, and complications.Results:All the 26 patients were followed up for 12 to 56 months (average, 28 months). Crutches were used while walking until an average of 1.6 months (from 1 to 3 months) after operation in all patients. At the last follow-up, the B?stman score averaged 27.5 points (from 17 to 30 points), yielding 12 excellent, 13 good and 1 poor case with an excellent to good rate of 96.2% (25/26); the knee pain VAS averaged 1.2 points (from 0 to 5 points); the active knee flexion averaged 125° (from 100° to 150°). No breakage, loosening or displacement of the patellar plates or screws was observed during follow-up, but cerclage wire breakage occurred without any symptom in 11 cases. Four patients complained of hardware irritation, and 4 patients underwent hardware removal after fracture union.Conclusion:Multi-dimensional fixation with locking plates is a viable and safe surgical option for patellar multi-fragmentary fractures, due to its satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
