Human physiological indicators have become an important standard for assessing health in modern society.Traditional detection methods often require a separate laboratory,complex operation process and long detection time,so it is urgent to develop portable,fast and accurate on-site detection technologies for bioanalysis.Point-of-care testing(POCT),which differs from traditional laboratory testing,can realize the rapid in situ detection of biomarkers without the complicated analytical process of the laboratory.Smartphones,which are an essential tool in our daily life,not only have independent operating systems and built-in storage functions,but also have high-definition cameras,which have great application potential in POCT visualization.The combination of various biosensing technologies and smartphones has developed into a new direction in the field of POCT.This review mainly introduced the research progress of smartphone-based visual biosensors in POCT in recent years,including colorimetric sensors,fluorescence sensors,chemiluminescence sensors and electrochemiluminescence sensors.Finally,the problems faced by smart-phone-based visual biosensors in the application of POCT were summarized,and their future development was prospected.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of total hip replacement(THA)in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture.Methods From October 2019 to June 2022,15 patients with secondary traumatic arthritis of acetabulum fracture were treated with THA.There were 8 males and 7 females,aged from 40 to 76 years old with an average of(59.20±9.46)years old.Prosthesis loosening,dislocation of hip joint,range of motion of hip joint,nerve injury and other conditions were recorded before and after surgery.Harris score,visual analogue scale(VAS)and imaging were used to e-valuate hip joint function and surgical effect.Results Follow-up time ranged 6 to 39 months with an average of(18.33±9.27)months.All the 15 patients successfully completed the operation,no nerve and blood vessel injury during the operation,post-operative wound healing was stage Ⅰ,no infection,one case of acetabular side prosthesis loosening at half a year after opera-tion,and recovered well after revision surgery,one case of hip dislocation was cured after open reduction treatment,no adverse consequences.Harris score at the last postoperative follow-up was(88.60±4.01)points,compared with the preoperative(47.20±1 1.77)points,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05),and VAS at the lateat postoperative follow-up was 1(1)points,compared with the preoperative 8(2)points,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).At the last follow-up,the pain symptoms were relieved or disappeared,and the joint function was satisfactory.The imaging data of the latest fol-low-up showed joint was well pseudoradiated,no abnormal ossification occurred,and the prosthesis was not loose.Conclusion THA is effective in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture and can effectively improve the quality of life of patients.Preoperative comprehensive evaluation and bone defect evaluation of patients,and intraoperative manage-ment of acetabulum,femur,internal fixation and bone defect are key factors for the success of surgery.

Objective:To explore the genotypes and frequency distribution of thalassemia in Lingui District,Guilin City,and provide reference for the prevention and control of thalassemia in this area. Methods:The results of genetic testing for thalassemia in 1501 suspected cases at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. The deletional mutations of α-thalassemia were detected by gap-PCR,the non-deletional mutations of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia mutations were detected by PCR-reverse dot blot (PCR-RDB). Results:In 1501 samples,a total of 678 cases of thalassemia carriers were detected,with a detection rate of 45.17％. Among them,379 cases were α-thalassemia (including deletional α-thalassemia and non-deletional α-thalassemia),with a detection rate of 25.25％,the most common genotype was--SEA/αα (227 cases,15.12％),followed by-α3.7/αα (53 cases,3.53％). 270 cases of β-thalassemia were detected,with a detction rate of 17.99％,and βCD41-42/βN (144 cases,9.59％) was the main genotypes,followed by βCD17/βN (66 cases,4.40％) . In addition,there were 29 cases of αβ compound thalassemia,accounting for 1.93％,and the most common genotype was--SEA/αα complex βCD41-42/βN (5 cases,0.33％). Conclusion:Lingui District in Guilin City is a high-incidence area of thalassemia,and the genotypes of carriers are complex and diverse,with genetic heterogeneity.

Objective:To assess the efficiency and safety of combining lenvatinib with DEB-TACE for the treatment of unresectable large hepatocellular carcinoma,accompanied by PVTT,in order to provide insights into its potential as a therapeutic approach.Method:Patients with hepa-tocellular carcinoma and portal vein tumor thrombus,who were diagnosed and treated at Linyi Can-cer Hospital between June 2019 and June 2021,were chosen as the subjects of this study.Patient allocation into the experimental group(23 cases)and control group(27 cases)was based on indi-vidual preferences,ensuring a random distribution of participants.The DEB-TACE treatment was administered to the control group,while the experimental group received a combination of DEB-TACE and lenvatinib.The effectiveness of lenvatinib was assessed in the immediate post-surgery period,the patients'survival was monitored,and any associated side effects were documented.Result:3 months after treatment,the objective remission rates of the experimental group and the control group were 91.31％and 66.67％,and the disease control rates were 100％and 77.78％.The difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).3 months after treatment,the regression rates of tumor thrombus in the experimental group and the control group were 60.87％and 29.63％,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The progression free survival time of the experi-mental group and the control group was 11 months and 8 months,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);The median survival time of the experimental group and the control group was 20 months and 14 months,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The main ad-verse reactions of the experimental group were hypertension,diarrhea,hand foot syndrome,rash,fatigue,loss of appetite,etc.,all of which were less than or equal to grade 3,and could be basically relieved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion:The combination of DEB-TACE and lenvatinib is proven to be a safe and well-tolerated treatment for unresectable large hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus.This therapy not only effectively controls tumor progression but also prolongs survival time.

Cerebroprotein hydrolysate oral liquid (COL) is a neuroprotective preparation composed of various amino acids and peptides, which has beneficial effects on diverse central system diseases. However, the therapeutic effect and potential mechanism of oral COL on ischemic stroke (IS) still need to be explored. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of COL on IS in vivo and in vitro. An IS rat model was established through middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery, and triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, behavioral scoring, Evans blue leakage, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescence staining were performed to investigate the effects of COL on cerebral infarct size, neurological function, blood-brain barrier (BBB) and neuroinflammation in IS rats. An in vitro model of IS was established on hCMEC/D3 cells through oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R), and cell counting kit-8 assay, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection, scratch test and Transwell test were conducted to examine the influence of COL on cell viability, oxidative stress and migration ability. Lipidomics technology, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot experiments were used to investigate the regulation and mechanism of COL on lipid metabolism in the brain of IS rats. All the animal experiments were approved by Ethical Committee of Animal Experiments of China Pharmaceutical University (No.2022-02-23). Our results showed that intragastric administration of COL could significantly reduce the area of cerebral infarction, improve neurological deficits, lower the levels of inflammatory factors, and protect against the blood-brain barrier damage of rats with IS. OGD/R modeling resulted in a significant decrease in the viability, an elevation in intracellular ROS levels, and a weakened cell migration ability of hCMEC/D3 cells. COL treatment could effectively protect hCMEC/D3 cells from damage caused by OGD/R. More importantly, cerebral ischemia led to significant lipid metabolism disorders in the brain of rats, and significant accumulation of intracerebral triglycerides (TAG) and ceramides (Cer) was observed in IS rats. COL was proved to significantly reverse lipid metabolism disorders in the brain of IS rats and reduce the content of cytotoxic lipid Cer by upregulating the intracerebral levels of an acid ceramidase called N-acylsphingosine amidehydrolase 1 (ASAH1). In summary, COL was proved to be a promising and effective candidate for IS treatment, which could alleviate cerebral ischemic injury by regulating abnormal lipid metabolism.

Aim To investigate the antibacterial activity and anti-resistant mutation ability of Qiguiyin decoction (a traditional Chinese herbal formula) combined with levofloxacin against pseudomonas aeruginosa byantibacterial experiment in vitro and serum pharmacology. Methods The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of levofloxacin and Qiguiyin decoction were detected respectively by the broth dilution technique.The MIC of the combination of two drugs was determined by the micro chessboard dilution method. The effects of combined drugs on enhancing the antibacterial activity of different strains were evaluated respectively by calculating the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI). The drug-containing serum of levofloxa-cin group, Qiguiyin decoction group, Qiguiyin decoction combined with levofloxacin group and control group was prepared. The antibacterial rate, MIC and MBC of 10% ~ 90% serum against the two strains were determined. Results Combined with Qiguiyin decoction, MIC of levofloxacin against pseudomonas aeruginosa (standard/resistant) decreased significantly, 0. 5 < FICI ^ 1. With the increase of the proportion of serum, the inhibitory rate of 10% ~ 90% drug-containing serum to pseudomonas aeruginosa (standard/resistant) increased gradually.compared with the control group, the inhibitory effect of the Qiguiyin group on bacteria was significantly enhanced. The MIC

Alveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by an infection with Echinococcosis multilocularis.The liver is the primary organ of alveolar echinococcosis.Alveolar echinococcosis is usually characterized by invasive growth and consequently iscalled"parasitic cancer."Resection of radical lesions is a preferred and effective treatment for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.End-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis often occurs with parasiticcirrhosis,such as secondary biliary cirrhosis,congestive liver cirrhosis or Budd-Chiari syndrome.Few studies have examined hepatic multilocular echinococcosis leading to cirrhosis.This article reviews the aspects of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis involving the invasion of important blood vessels and bile ducts,thereby leading to secondary biliary cirrhosis and congestive liver cirrhosis caused by hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.

Abstract: Objective　To evaluate the potential transmission risk of schistosomiasis in Yunnan Province, and to provide strategic basis for the prevention and control. Methods　Based on the prevalence of schistosomiasis, the social and environmental factors that may lead to the epidemic, 1-3 villages from 3 provincial-level and 15 county-level counties (cities and districts) were selected as the evaluated villages in 2021. The risk of schistosomiasis spread was analyzed comprehensively by consulting, reviewing and collecting routine surveillance data of schistosomiasis in the villages, combined with snail and wild feces survey. The risk level was evaluated for the positive snails, positive wild feces, resident infection, average density of live snails and snail frame occurrence rate. Results　Totally 7 snail counties schistosomiasis transmission was blocked of 18 epidemic counties and the rest were eliminated counties. A total of 152 447 snail frames were investigated and 3 043 frames with snails, 15 895 snails were captured and included 15 727 live snails in the 32 evaluated villages. The total area of snail was 58.87 hm2 and the area of reoccurrence was 34.19 hm2 with snail frame occurrence rate of 2.00% and average density of live snails 0.103 2/0.11 m2, and no positive snails were found by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. A total of 1 374 wild feces were collected in 27 evaluated villages of 14 epidemic counties, mainly from cattle, dogs, sheep, equine animals, pigs and so on, all of which were negative. According to the risk assessment of epidemic spread, Yongle Village and Yongsheng Village in Eryuan County, Zhiming Village in Chuxiong City were Ⅱ risk, and the rest were Ⅲ risk. Conclusions　Although the risk of transmission is low in Yunnan Province, the risk of transmission and spread still exists. It is necessary to strengthen the risk monitoring, control of snail and effective management of livestock to prevent the rebound of the epidemic.

A crucial lesson gained through the pandemic preparedness and response to COVID-19 is that all measures for epidemic control must be law-based. The legal system is related not only to public health emergency management per se but also to all aspects of the institutional supporting system throughout the lifecycle. Based on the lifecycle emergency management model, this article analyses the problems of the current legal system and the potential solutions. It is suggested that the lifecycle emergency management model shall be followed to establish a more comprehensive public health legal system and to gather the intelligence and consensus of experts with different expertise, including epidemiologists, sociologists, economists, jurist and others, which will collaboratively promote the science-based legislation in the field of epidemic preparedness and response for the establishment of a comprehensive legal system for public health emergency management and with Chinese characteristics.
