ObjectiveTo determine the drug sensitivity and molecular typing characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from meat and diarrhea samples in a local area. MethodsSeventy-one strains of K.pneumoniae were isolated from 118 meat food (chicken and pork) randomly sampled in the markets in Jinshan District, Shanghai, 2020‒2021, and 1 499 diarrhea samples from outpatient diarrhoea patients in hospitals in the same district. Then drug susceptibility testing was conducted by micro-broth dilution method, and sequence identity was determined by pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE). ResultsThe overall detection rate of K.pneumoniae in meat was 11.86% (14/118), with detection rate 20.93% (9/43) in chicken and 6.67% (5/75) in pork. The difference in detection between meats was statistically significant (χ2=5.317,P<0.05). The detection rate of K.pneumoniae in diarrhea samples was 3.80% (57/1 499). Furthermore, the isolated strains showed the highest resistance to ampicillin at 76.06%. The multi-drug resistant strains included 5 of human origin (8.77%) and 2 of foodborne origin (14.28%). Additionally, 1 foodborne imipenem-resistant strain was detected. A total of 71 strains of K.pneumoniae were found to have 70 banding types, with similarity ranging from 39.4% to 100%, suggesting genetic diversity. ConclusionK.pneumoniae isolated from foodborne and diarrhea samples showed multi-drug resistance in Jinshan District, . with scattered PFGE banding patterns. It is recommended to strengthen the monitoring of this pathogen in the population and animal food, and be alert to the emerging multi-drug resistant strains and risk of food chain transmission.

ObjectiveTo understand the current drug resistance status and bacterial multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of human and avian Campylobacter jejuni in Jinshan District, Shanghai. MethodsFecal samples were collected from diarrhea patients in the annuity mountainous area from 2021 to 2022, and poultry and related samples were collected from 2 poultry farms in the Jinshan area for detection of C. jejuni. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) drug sensitivity test was performed on the detected C. jejuni, and some strains were selected for whole genome sequencing and MLST analysis. ResultsA total of 823 samples of diarrhea disease were collected, and 32 strains of C. jejuni were detected, with a detection rate of 3.89%. Out of 600 poultry related samples, 62 strains of C. jejuni were detected, with a detection rate of 10.33%. Human multidrug resistance reached 93.75% (30/32), while avian multidrug resistance reached 100.00%(62/62). The top four drug resistance rates of human and avian C. jejuni were azithromycin (100.00% from humans and 100.00% from birds), naphthoic acid (93.75% from humans and 87.10% from birds), ciprofloxacin (90.63% from humans and 98.39% from birds), and tetracycline (84.38% from humans and 98.39% from birds). The relatively low resistance strains of human derived C. were erythromycin, chloramphenicol, and thalithromycin. The relatively low resistance strains of avian C. jejuni were erythromycin, clindamycin, and flufenicol. MLST analysis showed that the selected 16 strains of bacteria were divided into 9 ST types, among which the evolutionary relationship of avian C. jejuni was relatively concentrated, while human C. jejuni was relatively dispersed. It was found that one strain of avian C. jejuni was closely related to two strains of human C. jejuni. ConclusionsC. jejuni infection is severe in patients with diarrhea in this region, with a detection rate second only to salmonella and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. C. jejuni infection in poultry is relatively common, and both are highly resistant. Therefore, monitoring and control should be strengthened. MLST analysis shows new ST types in both avian and human sources of C. jejuni, indicating the emergence of new mutations that require continuous monitoring to avoid the epidemics caused by new strains. The isolated strains with close genetic relationships between avian and human sources reveal the evidence of the spread of C. jejuni from poultry to humans. Therefore it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of C. jejuni in relevant samples from breeding farms.

Background::Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a fatal cardiovascular disease, the pathogenesis of which has not yet been clarified. This study aimed to identify and validate the diagnostic markers of TAA to provide a strong theoretical basis for developing new methods to prevent and treat this disease.Methods::Gene expression profiles of the GSE9106, GSE26155, and GSE155468 datasets were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the "limma" package in R. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), random forest, and binary logistic regression analyses were used to screen the diagnostic marker genes. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to estimate immune cell infiltration in TAA.Results::A total of 16 DEGs were identified. The enrichment and functional correlation analyses showed that DEGs were mainly associated with inflammatory response pathways and collagen-related diseases. Collagen type I alpha 1 chain ( COL1A1) and synaptotagmin like 2 ( SYTL2) were identified as diagnostic marker genes with a high diagnostic value for TAA. The expression of COL1A1 and SYTL2 was considerably higher in TAA vascular wall tissues than in the corresponding normal tissues, and there were significant differences in the infiltration of immune cells between TAA and normal vascular wall tissues. Additionally, COL1A1 and SYTL2 expression were associated with the infiltration of immune cells in the vascular wall tissue. Single-cell analysis showed that COL1A1 in TAA was mainly derived from fibroblasts and SYTL2 mainly from cluster of differentiation (CD)8 + T cells. In addition, single-cell analysis indicated that fibroblasts and CD8 + T cells in TAA were significantly higher than those in normal arterial wall tissue. Conclusions::COL1A1 and SYTL2 may serve as diagnostic marker genes for TAA. The upregulation of SYTL2 and COL1A1 may be involved in the inflammatory infiltration of the vessel wall and poor extracellular matrix remodeling, promoting the progression of TAA.

Clinical research coordinator (CRC) can improve the efficiency of clinical research, ensure the accuracy and reliability of the research process, as well as the standardized implementation of research projects and the safety of subjects. However, the CRCs dispatched by the site management organization have problems such as high liquidity, uneven quality, low work initiative, and high management costs. Since 2004, a research hospital in South China had started to employ CRCs by itself, exploring and forming three self-employed CRC management modes: hospital employ-hospital manage, researcher employ hospital manage, and researcher employ-third-party labor dispatch agency manage. The CRCs under hospital employ-hospital manage mode were recruited and selected by the hospital. The hospital established a labor relationship with CRC, and the hospital′s personnel department was responsible for salary distribution and promotion management of professional titles/positions. The relevant labor costs were borne by the hospital′s funds, and the salary standards were also formulated by the hospital. This type of CRC could participate in the promotion of health technology series titles. The CRCs under researcher employ-hospital manage mode were recruited and selected by the researcher. The hospital established a labor relationship with them. The relevant labor costs were borne by the research funding, and the researchers determined the specific salary standards for CRCs based on the salary guidance plan formulated by the hospital. These kind of CRCs could not be promoted to professional titles in hospitals. The CRCs under researcher employ-third-party labor dispatch agency manage mode were recruited and selected by researchers. The third-party labor dispatch agency established an employment relationship with them and provided personnel services. The relevant labor costs were borne by the research funding, and the researchers formulated their own salary standards. Such CRCs could not be promoted to professional titles in hospitals. As of July 2023, the number of self-employed CRCs in the hospital had reached 185, with 75.8% having a bachelor′s degree or above and an average work experience of 4.58 years. Among them, there were 26 people in the hospital hiring-hospital management mode, 45 people in the researcher hiring-hospital management mode, and 114 people in the researcher hiring-third-party labor dispatch agency management mode. These measures had fully released management efficiency, effectively met manpower needs, promoted rapid growth in the number of clinical research projects, and reduced management costs through third-party labor dispatch mode, which could provide references for CRC management in clinical trial institutions of China.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the HIV genotypic subtypes and molecular transmission clusters among men who have sex with men (MSM) with newly reported HIV infections in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong Prefecture), Yunnan Province, China, between 2010 and 2019. The study aimed to identify potential high-risk transmitters and provide reference data for screening, management, and intervention of infection sources. MethodsPlasma samples from newly reported HIV-positive MSM individuals in Dehong Prefecture between 2010 and 2019 were collected. The viral pol gene fragments were amplified, sequenced, and genotyped. Genetic distances (GD) between pairwise sequences were analyzed and calculated. MEGA 7.0 and Gephi were used for phylogenetic and molecular transmission network analysis. ResultsA total of 159 newly reported HIV infections among MSM were included in the study, with successful genotyping of 100 cases. Nine HIV-1 subtypes were identified, with the most prevalent being CRF01_AE subtype (52%), followed by CRF07_BC subtype (31%), CRF55_01B subtype (10%), and others (7%). Cluster analysis revealed a total network access rate of 67%, forming three transmission clusters. CRF01_AE subtype formed two transmission clusters with 38 and 3 infected individuals, while CRF07_BC subtypes formed one transmission cluster with 26 infected individuals. The transmission network within the CRF01_AE clusters exhibited a more complex relationship. Significant differences in educational level were observed between the two main transmission clusters. ConclusionThe predominant HIV subtypes among newly reported MSM cases in Dehong Prefecture between 2010 and 2019 were CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC. Significant cultural differences are observed between the main transmission clusters. Continued monitoring of genotypic subtypes and targeted interventions within transmission clusters are warranted.

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, are essential causes of death and long-term disability and are difficult to cure, mainly due to the limited neuron regeneration and the glial scar formation. Herein, we apply extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by M2 microglia to improve the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) at the injured site, and simultaneously modify them with the injured vascular targeting peptide (DA7R) and the stem cell recruiting factor (SDF-1) on their surface via copper-free click chemistry to recruit NSCs, inducing their neuronal differentiation, and serving as the nanocarriers at the injured site (Dual-EV). Results prove that the Dual-EV could target human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), recruit NSCs, and promote the neuronal differentiation of NSCs in vitro. Furthermore, 10 miRNAs are found to be upregulated in Dual-M2-EVs compared to Dual-M0-EVs via bioinformatic analysis, and further NSC differentiation experiment by flow cytometry reveals that among these miRNAs, miR30b-3p, miR-222-3p, miR-129-5p, and miR-155-5p may exert effect of inducing NSC to differentiate into neurons. In vivo experiments show that Dual-EV nanocarriers achieve improved accumulation in the ischemic area of stroke model mice, potentiate NSCs recruitment, and increase neurogenesis. This work provides new insights for the treatment of neuronal regeneration after CNS injuries as well as endogenous stem cells, and the click chemistry EV/peptide/chemokine and related nanocarriers for improving human health.

ObjectiveTo explore the effective components and mechanism of Epimedii Folium in the treatment of oligoasthenotspermia by using network pharmacology and molecular docking technique. MethodThe main active components and corresponding target genes of Epimedii Folium were screened out from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). Target genes of oligospermia were obtained by GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database. Uniprot was used to correct all genes. The drug-active component-key target regulatory network was constructed by Cytoscape3.9.0, and the key active components were screened out according to the degree value. The active components and common targets of the disease were uploaded to STRING 11.5 database to construct the Epimedii Folium and oligoasthenotspermia target protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and the key protein targets were screened out according to the degree value. The key targets of gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed using DAVID database. Protein Data Bank (PDB) and TCMSP were used to obtain the molecular structure of target proteins and active components. AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 was used to perform molecular docking of the active components and the core protein targets. Finally, icariin, the active component of Epimedii Folium, was used to intervene in the rat model of oligoasthenotspermia to verify the effect of icariin on the expression level of protein targets. ResultTwenty-three active components from Epimedii Folium were screened out, and 50 common targets and 6 core targets of oligoasthenotspermia and Epimedii Folium were obtained, including tumor protein p53 (TP53), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), cysteine aspartate-specific protease (Caspase)-3, erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), and caspase-9. Through GO enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, the active components of Epimedii Folium were mainly involved in the P53 signaling pathway, the pathways in cancer, cell proliferation, and apoptosis, etc. Molecular docking results indicated that icariin, quercetin, and 8-isopentenol had strong binding ability to target protein. The results of icariin intervention experiment showed that as compared with the control group, the expression of target proteins in testis of rats with oligoasthenotspermia was significantly down-regulated. As compared with the model group, icariin significantly up-regulated the expression of target protein in testis of rats with oligoasthenotspermia (P<0.05). ConclusionEpimedii Folium treats oligoasthenotspermia through regulating the P53 signaling pathway, the pathways in cancer, cell proliferation, and apoptosis by icariin, quercetin, and 8-isopentenol.
