Objective To establish a rapid screening method for 34 emerging contaminants in surface water by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS).Methods The pretreatment conditions of solid phase extraction(SPE)were op-timized by orthogonal experimental design and the surface water samples were concentrated and ex-tracted by Oasis? HLB and Oasis? MCX SPE columns in series.The extracts were separated by Kine-tex? EVO C18 column,with gradient elution of 0.1%formic acid aqueous solution and 0.1%formic acid methanol solution.Q-TOF-MS'fullscan'and'targeted MS/MS'modes were used to detect 34 emerging contaminants and to establish a database with 34 emerging contaminants precursor ion,prod-uct ion and retention times.Results The 34 emerging contaminants exhibited good linearity in the con-centration range respectively and the correlation coefficients(r)were higher than 0.97.The limit of de-tection was 0.2-10 ng/L and the recoveries were 81.2%-119.2%.The intra-day precision was 0.78%-18.70%.The method was applied to analyze multiple surface water samples and 6 emerging contaminants were detected,with a concentration range of 1.93-157.71 ng/L.Conclusion The method is simple and rapid for screening various emerging contaminants at the trace level in surface water.

Objective To investigate the efficacies of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA)internal fixation in traction bed supine position and non-traction bed lateral position in the treatment of elderly unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.Methods The clinical data of patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFNA internal fixation in our hospital were retrospec-tively analyzed,41 patients received treatment in traction bed supine position were included in the supine position group,and 55 patients treated received treatment in non-traction bed lateral position were included in the lateral position group.The perioperative related indicators,surgical reduction,hip Harris score,and incidence of complications in the two groups were analyzed.Results The operation time and incision length of patients in the lateral position group were shorter than those in the supine position group,and the intraoperative blood loss and fluoroscopy times were less than those in the supine position group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the anesthesia mode,blood transfusion or hospital stay of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in neck-shaft angle,tip-apex distance or hip Harris score of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion PFNA internal fixation in traction bed supine position and non-traction bed lateral position have the same effect in the treatment of elderly unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures,while the non-traction bed lateral position for treatment has more advantages in shortening operation time,decreasing intraoperative blood loss,and reducing radiation exposure.

Lateral flow immunochromatography assay is a new instantaneous detection technology that employs a chromatographic membrane and labeling materials for detection.This detection technology is convenient,fast,and inexpensive,and is therefore widely used in a number of different fields,such as biomedicine,disease detection,food safety,environmental protection,and so on.Traditional lateral flow immunochromatography assay relied on visual observation and provided only qualitative or semi-quantitative results.By utilizing various types of markers and sensitive detection devices,lateral flow immunochromatography assay enables quantitative and multi-component detection of the analytes.The research progress on the lateral flow immunoassay detection system and its current applications in the context of recognition elements,labeling materials,and detection instruments were reviewed in this paper.

Objective To analyze the stress changes of thoracic vertebra(T)11-sacrum(S)titanium rods in patients with ankylosing spondylitis after vertebral column decancellation(VCD)osteotomy,and provide reference for the selection and improvement of titanium rods before surgery.Methods The original data of the continuous scanning tomographic images of patients with ankylosing spondylitis after VCD osteotomy were imported into Mimics 21.0 in DICOM format,and T11-S vertebrae,screws and titanium rods were respectively reconstructed.They were imported into 3-Matic to establish a preliminary geometric modeling,and then processed with noise removal,paving,smoothing,etc.The improved model was imported into Hypermesh 10 software for grid division,and the material was imported into ANSYS 19.2 to display the finite element model after attribute assignment,Set the boundary and load conditions,and measure the stress value at the connection between the screw and the titanium rod.Results Under neutral position,forward bending,lateral bending,and axial rotation conditions,the titanium rod had the highest stress at the upper vertebrae(T11)and the lowest stress at the top vertebrae(L3);Under the backward extension condition,the titanium rod has the highest stress at the lower end vertebra(L5).Conclusion In the upper and lower vertebrae,it is possible to consider increasing the diameter of the titanium rod,enhancing its hardness,or changing it to a double rod.

Objective:To establish a Plaque-reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) for the detection of neutralizing antibody titers of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV) and optimize the conditions for preliminary application.Methods:The CHO expression system was used to produce palivizumab monoclonal antibody (palivizumab) and the influencing factors such as cell type, cell culture duration, fixation and permeabilization protocols, and blocking agents. The reproducibility of the method was verified and its correlation was verified with conventional PRNT. Finally, the optimized PRNT assay was further used to determine neutralizing antibody titers against HRSV subtypes A and B in BALB/c mouse serum (immunized by intramuscular injection of HRSV fusion proteins).Results:Palivizumab was expressed at approximately 50 mg/L. The optimal working conditions for PRNT were as follows: culturing HEp-2 cells for 2 days, fixing with 4% (V/V) paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 15 min followed by 0.2% (V/V) Triton X-100 permeabilization for 15 minutes as the optimal fixation-permeabilization and removing the blocking step. The overall coefficient of variation (CV) for the reproducibility validation of this method was <15%, showing a good linear relationship with the conventional PRNT. The Spearman correlation coefficient r s was 0.983. This method was used to detect neutralizing antibody titers in mouse sera against HRSV subtype A strain long and subtype B strain 9320, and the fusion proteins combined with AlOH and CpG adjuvant induced the highest neutralizing antibody titers in mice. Conclusion:The HRSV neutralizing antibody assay established in this study is rapid, reproducible, high-throughput, and can be used to detect neutralizing antibodies to HRSV subtypes A and B.

Objective To study the clinical manifestations,laboratory features,and labial gland pathological features in children with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)complicated by Sj?gren's syndrome(SS).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 102 children with SLE who underwent labial gland biopsies at Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2013 to December 2022.The children were divided into two groups based on the presence of SS:the SLE with SS group(SLE-SS;60 children)and the SLE-only group(42 children).According to the focus score(FS)of the labial glands,children in the SLE-SS group were further subdivided into FS≥4 subgroup(26 children)and FS<4 subgroup(34 children).The clinical data of the groups were compared.Results Compared to the SLE-only group,children in the SLE-SS group had less skin and mucosal involvement,were more likely to have positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies,and had higher levels of rheumatoid factor(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in treatment protocols between the two groups(P>0.05).Compared to the FS<4 subgroup,the FS≥4 subgroup had more frequent musculoskeletal involvement(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in SLE disease activity or other major organ involvement between the subgroups(P>0.05).Conclusions Children with SLE complicated by SS are less likely to have skin and mucous membrane involvement and exhibit specific serological characteristics.The SLE-SS children with an FS≥4 are more likely to experience musculoskeletal involvement.However,FS is not associated with disease activity or other significant organ damage.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of the clinical characteristics,fever characteristics,serum biomarkers with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) treated with chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy. Methods:104 R/R MM patients who received CAR-T cell therapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from June 2017 to November 2021 were included,and the correlations of their clinical characteristics,fever characteristics,serum biomarkers with the severity of CRS were analyzed. Results:Among 104 R/R MM patients receiving CAR-T treatment,no CRS was observed in 8 cases (7.7％),and 96 cases (92.3％) developed CRS. Patients with high-risk cytogenetics had a higher risk of developing CRS (P=0.040),while patients who had previously received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) had a lower risk of developing CRS (P=0.004). There was a significant difference in the duration of fever between patients with grade 1-2 and grade 3-5 CRS (P=0.006). The highest body temperature varied among patients with different treatment regimens (P=0.001). The decrease in total protein in patients with CRS was more significant than in patients without CRS (P=0.002). Within one month after CAR-T cell infusion,the degree of albumin recovery in patients with grade 3-5 CRS was lower than that in patients with grade 0-2 CRS (P=0.037). Compared to patients with grade 1-2 CRS,patients with grade 3-5 CRS showed a significant increase in heart rate after CAR-T cell infusion (P=0.013),while IL-6,C-reactive protein (CRP),and serum ferritin (SF) also showed significant increases (P=0.007,P<0.001,P=0.003). Conclusion:High-risk cytogenetics is a risk factor for severe CRS. Long duration of fever is a clinical characteristic of severe CRS. CRP can better reflect the severity of CRS.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
