ObjectiveTo understand the status of parasitic infection in the food sold on market in Qingpu District of Shanghai, and to provide an evidence for the development of prevention and control strategies for parasitic infection applicable to Qingpu District. MethodsAquatic products, meat products and other foodstuffs sold on online shops, at farm product markets, supermarkets/foodstores and restaurants were sampled in Qingpu District, Shanghai, during 2015‒2023, based on the administrative division of Qingpu District. The parasitic infection in the food samples were examined using pressing method and digestion for detecting metacercariae in freshwater products and pickled products, using dissection microscopy for Anisakis larvae in seawater products, Taenia cysticercus and Trichinella encysted larvae in meat products. ResultsA total of 1 079 samples of food products were examined during 2015‒2023, with a total parasite infection rate of 13.44%. The total parasite infection rate of freshwater fish products was 3.40% (16/471), and the difference of parasite infection rates between different freshwater fish species was statistically significant (χ²=229.609, P=0.001). The total infection rate of Clonorchis sinensis was 3.18% (15/471), which had been detected in Pseudorasbora parva, Cyprinidae rhodeus, and Carassius auratus, with a positive rate of 77.78% (7/9), 50.00% (5/10) and 3.90% (3/77), respectively. Metorchis orientalis was detected in in Pseudorasbora parva, with a positive rate of 33.33% (3/9). The positive rate of Gnathostoma spinigerum (third-stage larvae) was 0.81%. Paragonimus metacercariae were not detected in the freshwater shrimps and crabs. The infection rate of seawater fish products was 26.46%. The difference of parasite infection rate in seawater fishes was statistically significant (χ²=109.181, P=0.001). A total of 53 pork and beef samples were tested, none was detected with Trichinella larva cysts, Taenia solium metacercariae, and Taenia saginata metacercariae. The total infection rate of pickled yellow mud snail products was 58.11% (43/74). Paragonimus metacercariae was not detected in any of the pickled aquatic product samples. ConclusionThere are different degrees of parasitic infection in freshwater products, seawater products and pickled aquatic products in Qingpu District of Shanghai. The risk of parasite infection from raw or undercooked foods is high. Health education on healthy dietary practices such as throughly cooked food should be strengthened for local residents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Scutellariae Radix combined with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors （EGFR-TKIs） on cell proliferation， apoptosis， cancer stem cell （CSC） marker expression， and metabolism in non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） cells. MethodsThe anti-tumor effects of Scutellariae Radix and EGFR-TKIs （gefitinib or osimertinib） in NSCLC cells were evaluated using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） and Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide （PI） double staining apoptosis assay. The activity of Scutellariae Radix and EGFR-TKIs in three-dimensional （3D） cultures of NSCLC cells was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo® 3D cell viability assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of CSC markers， sex determining region y box protein 2 （SOX2） and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 （ALDH1A1）， were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot， respectively. Changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels were detected by ROS staining， and the redox ratio was detected by femtosecond laser labeling free imaging （FLI）. ResultsUnder both two-dimensional （2D） and 3D culture conditions， compared with the blank group and EGFR-TKI group， the combination group showed significantly reduced cell viability and increased apoptosis rate （P<0.05）. Compared with the EGFR-TKI group， the mRNA and protein levels of CSC markers were significantly downregulated in the combination group （P<0.05）. Additionally， the redox ratio was significantly elevated （P<0.05）， and ROS levels were also increased in the combination group compared with the EGFR-TKI group. ConclusionIn NSCLC cells， Scutellariae Radix enhances the redox ratio and increases ROS levels， thereby inhibiting the expression of CSC markers and strengthening the anti-tumor effects of EGFR-TKIs. This provides a novel molecular mechanism by which Scutellariae Radix may enhance the sensitivity of targeted therapies.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of bone plate screw external fixation minimally invasive treatment assisted with 3-dimensional printing extraposition mold in distal radius fractures.Methods The clinical and follow up data in 15 cases of distal radius fractures treated by bone plate screw ex-ternal fixation minimally invasive treatment assisted with 3-dimensional printing extraposition mold were ret-rospectively analyzed.The volar inclination angle,ulnar deviation angle,radius length at the time of before surgery,immediately after surgery,and 2 years after surgery were measured,by using standard anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films,as well as the wrist jiont flexion extension motion and dorsal extension motion at the time of 2 years after surgery were measured by using protractor.The grip strength of the hand 2 years after surgery was measured by using grip strength meter.Visual Analog Scale(VAS)score was used to evaluate the pain level or wrist joint before and 2 years after surgery;Gartland Werley score was used to evaluate the wrist joint function 2 years after surgery.Results The follow-up lasted for 24.0-33.0 months with an aver-age of 26.5 months.The Gartland-Werley scores were excellent in 12 cases,good in 2 cases and fair in 1 case 2 years after surgery.The wrist joint flexion motion was(52.0±11.7)°,the wrist joint dorsal extension motion was(65.0±4.8)°,the grip strength of the affected side was(84.0±4.2)％of the healthy side.Compared with before operation,the volar inclination angle,ulnar deviation angle and radius shortening value and VAS score up were significantly improved 2 years after surgery(P＜0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in immediately after surgery imaging parameters(volar inclination angle,ulnar deviation angle and radius shortening)immediately after surgery compared to 2 years after surgery(P＞0.05).Conclusion The bone plate screw external fixation minimally invasive treatment assisted with 3-dimensional printing extrapo-sition mold in distal radius fractures has the advantages of individualized bone plate screw,precision guidance position angle,minimal invasion,low demand for skin and soft tissue condition and easy taking out.The fixa-tion is reliable and the joint function recovered well and the short follow up effect is satisfactory.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of transferrin-targeting peptide T7 （7pep） on intracellular transportation of polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone （PEG-PCL） micelles in human cervical cancer HeLa cells. METHODS Using coumarin-6 （C6） as fluorescent indicator probe， both coumarin-6 （C6）-loaded PEG-PCL （PEG-PCL-C6） micelles and 7pep-modified PEG- PCL （7pep-PEG-PCL-C6） micelles were prepared by film-dispersion method. The particle size， polydispersity index and appearance morphology were compared between two types of micelles； the real-time uptake of two types of micelles by HeLa cells was compared， and the colocalization of two types of micelles with early endosomes （EE）， endocytic recycling compartments （ERC） and late endosomes （LE） after entry into the cells was observed. RESULTS The particle sizes of PEG-PCL-C6 and 7pep-PEG-PCL- C6 micelles were（75.0±2.3）and（82.0±1.5）nm； the polymer dispersity indexes were 0.17±0.20 and 0.17±0.32， respectively， with a regular spherical appearance. The colocalization results showed that entry speed and amount of 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles were significantly faster/more than those of PEG-PCL-C6 micelles. 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles entered EE faster than PEG-PCL-C6 micelles， while PEG-PCL-C6 micelles entered ERC at a faster rate than 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles， and both PEG-PCL-C6 micelles and 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles tended to accumulate gradually in LE； Pearson coefficient， signal overlap ratio， and colocalization ratio of 7pep-PEG-PCL-C6 micelles with LE were significantly lower 60 minutes after entering the cell than those 30 minutes after entering the cell （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Targeting 7pep modification can increase the entry speed and amount of PEG-PCL-C6 micelles， and also alter their intracellular transportation behavior.

Objective To compare the efficacy of TightRope loop plate and Endobutton plate in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 94 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation who were treated at this center from March 2021 to February 2023.They were divided into two groups based on different admission date.The Group E(n =47)received Endobutton plate treatment between March 2021 and February 2022,while the Group T(n =47)received TightRope loop plate treatment between March 2022 and February 2023.At the last follow-up,the perioperative indicators,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),Constant-Murley shoulder joint function scores,and surgical complications were compared between the two groups.Results The surgical time,intraoperative bleeding,incision length,and VAS scores at 7 days after surgery in the Group T were shorter or lower than those in the Group E(P<0.05).There were no statistical differences in the incidence of perioperative nerve injury,internal fixation displacement,clavicle fracture,vascular injury,and infection between the two groups(P>0.05).The subjective and objective scores of Constant-Murley shoulder joint function in both groups at9 months after surgery showed significant improvement compared to preoperative scores(all P =0.000).There was no significant difference in the subjective and objective scores of Constant-Murley shoulder joint function between the two groups at 9 months after surgery(P>0.05).Conclusions The treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation with TightRope loop plate ot or Endobutton plate has a significant effect and can effectively improve shoulder joint function.Compared with Endobutton plate,use of TightRope loop plate has minor surgical trauma,less bleeding,and significantly reduced postoperative pain,being more conducive to early functional exercise for patients.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of domestically manufactured disposable pressure monitoring sensor in clinical application.Methods The self-parallel control was adopted.A total of 128 patients undergoing surgery for cardiovascular related disease requiring both invasive arterial blood pres-sure and central venous pressure simultaneously monitoring in the two collaborating hospitals of Chongqing Kanghua Zhonglian Cardiovascular Disease Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical Uni-versity from January to March 2021 were selected as the study subjects.The two kinds of disposable invasive pressure sensors were simultaneously utilized for continuous monitoring and recording invasive arterial blood pressure and central venous pressure prior to anesthesia induction(T1),at 1 min after the last intravenous an-esthetic drug injection(T2)and at tracheal intubation completion(T3).Additionally,the performance,safety indicators of the product,and success rate of arterial blood collection were recorded.Results At different time points T1,T2 and T3,the the consistency rates of systolic blood pressure measured by two sensors were both 100.0％.The consistency rate of diastolic blood pressure at T1 measured by the two kinds of sensors was 99.2％,which at T2 and T3 was 100.0％.The consistency rates of central venous pressure at 3 time points by the two kinds of sensors were both 100.0％.The correlation coefficient showed that the two kinds of sensors kept the high consistency in measuring systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and central venous pressure.The concordance rates of arterial blood gas analysis indexes pH,PO2 and PCO2 reached 100.0％,94.5％and 99.2％respectively.Conclusion The effectiveness,accuracy and safety of domestically produced dis-posable invasive blood pressure sensor meet clinical needs.

Objective To compare the efficacy of percutaneous double external fixators (EF) and EF combined with volar locking plate (VLP) in the treatment of AO C1,C2 and C3 type distal radius fracture (DRF). Methods The data of 108 patients with AO C-type DRF from 2019 to 2022 were reviewed. Fifty-one patients were treated with double EF (a no-bridging cemented-pin frame and a conventional wrist-bridging EF) and 57 patients were treated with EF (a conventional wrist-bridging EF) combined with VLP. The imaging parameters (palmar tilt,radial inclination,radial height,ulnar variance,etc.),wrist motion and grip strength were measured. Wrist pain intensity was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS). The whole function of the upper limb was assessed by disability of arm shoulder and hand scale (DASH),the wrist function was evaluated by Mayo wrist score (MWS),and the patient satisfaction was evaluated by short assessment of patient satisfaction (SAPS). The incidence of complications was evaluated according to the patient's chief complaint and the surgeon's comprehensive judgement. Results There were no significant differences in age,gender,injury cause,AO types or operation time between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The time from injury to operation,intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay in the double EF group were superior to those in the EF combined with VLP group (all P<0.001). The patients were followed up for 24 to 33 months. There were no significant differences in palmar tilt,radial inclination,radial height or ulnar variance at the last follow-up (all P>0.05);the VAS score (P=0.025) and SAPS score (P=0.015) in the double EF group were significantly better than those in the EF combined with VLP group. There were no significant differences in the range of motion (flexion,extension,radial deviation,ulnar deviation,pronation or supination),grip strength,MWS or DASH scores between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The overall complication rate of the double EF group was 13.73％ (7/51),which was lower than that of the EF combined with VLP group (28.07％) (16/57) (P<0.05). Conclusion Percutaneous double EF is easy to operate and relatively safe,with few complications and satisfactory follow-up results. It can be a treatment option for OA C-type DRF.

ObjectiveTo compare and observe the effect of Reduning injection （mainly clearing heat）， Shenfu injection （mainly warming Yang） combined with gefitinib on the proliferation， apoptosis， stemness characteristics and metabolism of lung cancer cells. MethodDifferent non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） cell lines were selected and intervened with gefitinib （5， 10， 20 μmol·L^-1）， Reduning injection （0.6%， 0.9%）， Shenfu injection （0.6%， 0.9%）， gefitinib combined with Reduning injection， and gefitinib combined with Shenfu injection. Cell proliferation in each group was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expressions of lung cancer stem cell markers sex determining region Y-box 2 （Sox2） and aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member A1 （ALDH1A1） were determind by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot， respectively. The redox ratio of lung cancer cells was observed by femtosecond label-free imaging （FLI） and energy metabolism instrument was used to determine the glycolysis level in cells. ResultCompared with the blank group， Reduning injection reduced the survival rate of lung cancer cells （P<0.05）， increased the apoptosis rate （P<0.05）， down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of Sox2 and ALDH1A1 （P<0.05）， and up-regulated the redox ratio of cells （P<0.05）， while Shenfu injection exerted no remarkable effect on the above indexes. In addition， compared with gefitinib alone， Reduning injection combined with gefitinib inhibited the survival rate of lung cancer cells （P<0.05）， promoted the cell apoptosis （P<0.05）， down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of Sox2 and ALDH1A1 （P<0.05）， up-regulated the redox ratio of cells （P<0.05）， and lowered the proton efflux rate of glycolysis （P<0.05）， while Shenfu injection combined with gefitinib failed to affect these indexes of lung cancer cells significantly. ConclusionReduning injection may inhibit stemness characteristics of tumor cells by regulating their metabolism to enhance the proliferation-inhibiting and pro-apoptotic effects of gefitinib on lung cancer cells， while Shenfu injection had no significant enhancing effect on gefitinib. This indicates that epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors （EGFR-TKIs） should be used in combination with heat-clearing Chinese medicines.
