High attention needs to be paid to contamination of bacterium, fungus and L. pneumophila, and expansion of supervision coverage and improved supervision intensity are recommended.

Objective Aberrant expression of ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1(ABCB1)plays a key role in several cancers.However,influence of G protein coupled receptor family C group 5 type A(GPRC5A)-regulated ABCB1 expression on lung adenocarcinoma proliferation remains unclear.Therefore,this study investigated the effect of GPRC5A regulated ABCB1 expression on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods ABCB1 expressions in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines,human lung adenocarcinoma tissues,and tracheal epithelial cells and lung tissues of GPRC5A knockout mice and wild-type mice were analyzed with RT-PCR,Western blot,or immunohistochemical analysis.Cell counting kit-8 assay was performed to analyze the sensitivity of tracheal epithelial cells from GPRC5A knockout mice to chemotherapeutic agents.Subcutaneous tumor formation assay was performed to confirm whether down-regulation of ABCB 1 could inhibit the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma in vivo.To verify the potential regulatory relationship between GPRC5A and ABCB1,immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays were performed. Results ABCB1 expression was up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and human lung adenocarcinoma tissues.ABCB1 expression in the tracheal epithelial cells and lung tissues of GPRC5A deficient mice was higher than that in the wild type mice.Tracheal epithelial cells of GPRC5A knockout mice were much more sensitive to tariquidar and doxorubicin than those of GPRC5A wild type mice.Accordingly,28 days after injection of the transplanted cells,the volume and weight of lung tumor in ABCB1 knockout cell-transplanted GPRC5A-/-C57BL/6 mice were significantly smaller than those in wild type cell-transplanted mice(P=0.0043,P=0.0060).Furthermore,immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays showed that GPRC5A regulated ABCB1 expression by direct binding. Conclusion GPRC5A reduces lung adenocarcinoma proliferation via inhibiting ABCB1 expression.The pathway by which GPRC5A regulates ABCB1 expression needs to be investigated.

ObjectiveBased on non-targeted metabolomics， to analyze the regulation of endogenous differential metabolites in serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM） rats by Fuling Yunhua granules， and to clarify the metabolic pathways through which this granules exerted its effect on improving T2DM. MethodSeventy SD rats， half male and half female， were randomly divided into the control group， model group， and high， medium， low dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules（20.70， 10.35， 5.18 g·kg^-1 in raw drug amount） and the positive drug group（pioglitazone hydrochloride tablets， 8.1 mg·kg^-1）. Except for the control group， other groups were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin（STZ） to establish a T2DM rat model. After successful modeling， the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage， and the control group and model group were treated with an equal volume of saline by gavage， once/d， for 28 d. Fasting blood glucose（FBG） and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c（GHbA1c） levels were measured in all groups of rats during the administration period， and hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes in the pancreatic tissues of rats at the end of the administration period. The endogenous metabolite levels in rat serum were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS）， and the data were processed using principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Differential metabolites were identified by the Human Metabolome Database（HMDB） and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and screened for differential metabolites with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， P<0.05， and fold change（FC）<0.6 or FC>1. And the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0， then the screened differential metabolites were diagnosed and evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curves. ResultCompared with the control group， the FBG level of rats in the model group increased significantly（P<0.01）， the GHbA1c content tended to increase， but the difference was not statistically significant， and the pancreatic tissue of rats was obviously damaged， the number of pancreatic islets decreased， and the pancreatic β-cells were obviously reduced， atrophied and enlarged. Compared with the model group， the FBG levels of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules and the positive drug group were significantly reduced after 2 weeks of administration（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the GHbA1c content of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules was significantly reduced（P<0.05）， and the pancreatic tissue lesions of rats in the different dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules were reduced. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 46 differential metabolites were significantly changed in the model group compared with the blank group. Pathway enrichment analysis found that T2DM mainly affected biological processes including biosynthesis of primary bile acid， D-amino acid metabolism， steroid hormone biosynthesis， and glycerophospholipid metabolism in rats. Compared with the model group， the levels of 8 differential metabolites in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules were significantly adjusted， and the pathway enrichment analysis found that D-amino acid metabolism， retinol metabolism， glycine， serine and threonine metabolism， tryptophan metabolism and other metabolic pathways were mainly involved. ROC curves further analysis revealed that the four characteristic differential markers of 11-cis-retinol， D-piperidinic acid， D-serine， and p-cresol sulfate had high diagnostic value for the treatment of T2DM with Fuling Yunhua granules. ConclusionFuling Yunhua granules can improve the symptoms of T2DM rats by regulating the amino acid metabolic and retinol metabolic pathways through the modulation of endogenous differential metabolites.

To address the issue of peak loss when applying variational mode decomposition(VMD)to denoise spectra with sharp peaks,in this study,a method for spectral signal denoising of complex samples called peak extraction variational mode decomposition(PE-VMD)was introduced.Firstly,the spectral signal was subjected to a process of denoising utilising the VMD algorithm.Next,the first order derivatives of the spectral signals were calculated to determine the peak center.Subsequently,the second order derivatives of the spectral signal was calculated to extract the sharp peaks with high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).Finally,the peak intercepted that lose information after VMD denoising were removed,and the remaining spectrum was sequentially connected with the extracted sharp peaks to obtain the final denoised spectrum.The effectiveness of the method was evaluated by one of simulated signals and X-ray diffraction(XRD)spectrum of MnCo-ISAs/CN catalysts.Furthermore,the method was compared with other denoising techniques,including Savitzky-Golay(SG)smoothing,empirical mode decomposition(EMD)and VMD.The efficacy of the denoising process was then assessed by analyzing the spectrograms and signal-to-noise ratio before and after denoising.The results demonstrated that PE-VMD denoising achieved the greatest SNR and effectively preserved the essential information of the spectral signals.Consequently,PE-VMD exhibited superior denoising capability for spectra with sharp peaks.

To investigate the epidemiology of avian infectious bronchitis virus(IBV)and study the pathogenicity of IBV isolate,we isolated the IBV field strain from a clinical sample of chickens sus-pected to be infected with infectious bronchitis virus(IBV)from Hefei,Anhui Province,named HF210416.Sequencing analysis of the S1 gene showed that HF210416 belonged to the GI-22 geno-type,which was significantly differed from that of the reference GI-22-type strains,with homology ranging only from 84.5％to 87.8％.Recombinant analysis showed that HF210416 was a recombi-nant strain,with YX10(GI-19)as the major parent and YN(GI-19)as the minor parent.2-day-old SPF chicks infected with the HF210416 isolate showed clinical symptoms such as breathing with difficulty,depression and excreting watery droppings;the infected chicks had a rapid onset of dis-ease,with mortality occurring on the second day of inoculation,and mortality persisted until the fifth day,with 33.33％(5/15)mortality rate.The infected chicks recovered the 14th day after inoculation.RT-PCR detection of pharyngeal-anal swabs showed that the virus shedding by infected chicks could be continuously detected within 14 days of the test period;Enlarged and pale kidney as well as urate deposition in the kidney were observed in infected dead and undead chicks;and the HE staining of histopathological slices showed that the cilia of trachea were removed.Immunohis-tochemistry showed that obvious viral signals were observed in the trachea,lungs,and kidneys.The viral load of various tissues was detected by RT-qPCR and it showed that HF210416 had the high-est replication efficiency in kidney tissues,then in cecum tonsils and trachea.The results of serum neutralization test showed that HF210416 had a better neutralization effect on GI-22 homologous strains,but poorer neutralization effect on other genotypes strains,suggesting that HF210416 is not suitable for vaccine candidate.In conclusion,the GI-22 isolate HF210416 is highly pathogenic and nephrotropic to chicks,and its genomic genetic characteristics and immunogenicity are differ-ent from those of other strains.This study enriches the resources of IBV strains and provides refer-ence data for understanding of the prevalence and pathogenicity of GI-22 genotypes in China.

This study aims to explore the role of mouse GSDME in tumor progression and its mechanisms.Wide type and GSDME knockout mice were used to establish tumor models and the tumor growth was monitored;CRISPR-Cas9 was employed to knockout GSDME in MC38 cells.Bone marrow-derived macrophage and dendritic cells were culture in vitro and adoptively transferred into tumor-bearing mice,respectively.Western blotting was conducted to detect protein expression in cells;flow cytometry was used to analysis the immune cell number,CD8+T cell function,and Cleaved Caspase-3 expression in TAM and TADC cells.According to the above experiments,we found that GSDME deficiency promoted tumor progression in mice.GSDME knockout reduced the number of CD8+T cells and decreased IFN-γ and Perforin in CD8+T cells in tumors.GSDME was mainly expressed in macrophages and dendritic cells,and adoptive transferring GSDME deficient macrophages or dendritic cells did not affect tumor progression.However,GSDME deficient mice reduced the ratio of Cleaved Caspase-3 positive macrophages and dendritic cells in tumors,and Cleaved Caspase-3 positive macrophages expressed more iNOS and MHCII,while Cleaved Caspase-3 positive dendritic cells expressed more CD80 and CD86.In general,GSDME increases Cleaved Caspase-3 positive macrophages and dendritic cells that promote CD8+T cell function,thereby inhibiting tumor progression.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic high uterosacral ligament suspension(HUS)and iliacpubic ligament fixation(ILF)in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse(POP)mainly caused by middle pelvic defects.Methods Clinical data of 15 cases of POP with middle pelvic defects from June 2017 to June 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The HUS and ILF were performed by transumbilical single-port laparoscopy.At one year after operation,gynecological examination(POP-Q system)and maximum straining pelvic MRI examination were performed for objective evaluation.The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form(PFDI-20)and Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire(PISQ-12)were used for subjectiveevaluation.Results Theoperationtimewas 65-135 min(mean,102.9±16.3 min),thebleedingvolumewas 20-50 ml,and the postoperative hospital stay was 6-9 d.Follow-up time ranged from 6 to 72 months(mean,42.8±22.3 months),among which 14 cases were≥12 months.No pelvic pain,lumbosacral pain,urinary retention and thread exposure occurred.Stress urinary incontinence(SUI)occurred in 1 case at 1 year after operation.Surgical failure was noted in 1 case(degree Ⅱ),the objective success rate being 93.3%(14/15).At 1 year after operation,the distance from the anatomical landmarks of pelvic MRI to the pubococcygeal line(PCL)was significantly higher than that before operation(P<0.01),and the PFDI-20 and PISQ-12 scores were significantly better than those before operation(P<0.01).Conclusions Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic HUS and ILF is a safe and effective mutual aid procedure for the treatment of POP mainly caused by middle pelvic defects with surgical indications,which can improve pelvic floor function and quality of life.It is simple and easy to perform with low cost of consumables,which is suitable for primary hospitals.

The establishment of an intelligent audit system for hospital medical insurance is crucial for standardizing irrational practices and curbing the unwarranted escalation of medical insurance costs. A tertiary hospital has developed comprehensive prescription review rules in terms of indications, nutritional risk assessments, pain score evaluations, drug sensitivity test results, and target patient populations. When using medical insurance funds for settlement, both systematic and manual reviews are conducted, and three-level intervention measures such as " prompt, review, and interception" are implemented based on prescription issues. After the system was put into use, the hospital′s in-process information system supervision mode shifted from the previous focus on prompts to focus on audits. The medical insurance intelligent audit system provided timely prompts and interventions, and the number of unreasonable medical insurance prescriptions and deductions from medical insurance sampling prescriptions significantly decreased ( P<0.001), while the number of medical insurance medication prescription audits increased ( P<0.001). The application of the intelligent medical insurance medication audit system has improved the efficiency of prescription auditing and ensured the rationality of the use of medical insurance funds.

Laparoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection is the most effective method for treating chyluria that has failed to respond to conservative management. Chylous hemothorax is a rare clinical occurrence resulting from the anatomic abnormality. This paper reported a case, who was admitted with painless gross hematuria for 1 month and was diagnosed with left chylous hematuria. Laparoscopic left renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection was performed, and bilateral chylous hemothorax occurred after the operation. After conservative treatment such as bilateral closed thoracic drainage and blood transfusion support, the patient recovered well. After 2 months of follow-up, there was no obvious effusion in the bilateral thoracic cavity, and the chylous test of urine fluid was negative.
