Objective Viral encephalitis is an infectious disease severely affecting human health.It is caused by a wide variety of viral pathogens,including herpes viruses,flaviviruses,enteroviruses,and other viruses.The laboratory diagnosis of viral encephalitis is a worldwide challenge.Recently,high-throughput sequencing technology has provided new tools for diagnosing central nervous system infections.Thus,In this study,we established a multipathogen detection platform for viral encephalitis based on amplicon sequencing. Methods We designed nine pairs of specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR)primers for the 12 viruses by reviewing the relevant literature.The detection ability of the primers was verified by software simulation and the detection of known positive samples.Amplicon sequencing was used to validate the samples,and consistency was compared with Sanger sequencing. Results The results showed that the target sequences of various pathogens were obtained at a coverage depth level greater than 20×,and the sequence lengths were consistent with the sizes of the predicted amplicons.The sequences were verified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST,and all results were consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing technology is feasible as a supplementary method for the pathogenic detection of viral encephalitis.It is also a useful tool for the high-volume screening of clinical samples.

The complexity of coding surgical procedures related to renal replacement therapy in nephrology stems from a deficiency in clinical knowledge regarding renal replacement therapies and an incomplete understanding of the classification rules within the ICD-9-CM-3 coding system.This paper delves into the clinical aspects of renal replacement therapy and organizes the corresponding coding classification rules,clarifying the codes for various treatment modalities.For instance,the establishment of dialysis access is coded as 38.95 for hemodialysis venous intubation,39.27 for vascular fistula,and 54.93 for peritoneal dialysis intubation via a cutaneous peritoneal stoma.Maintenance hemodialysis is coded as 39.95,while peritoneal dialysis is coded as 54.98.The removal of dialysis catheter is differentiated into surgical and non-surgical;surgical removal is coded as 86.05,and non-surgical removal as 97.86 or 97.89.For instances of internal fistula stenosis or thrombosis,balloon dilation is coded as 39.50.Stent implantation for stenosis or isolation of a false aneurysm is coded as 39.90 for bare stent,and 00.55 for covered stents.The resection and reconstruction involving stenosis,thrombus segments,or false aneurysms,are coded as 39.42.This classification aims to improve the accuracy of coding for such procedures.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common clinical autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovitis and pannus formation. In late stage, irreversible destruction and deformation of bone and joint may occur. In this paper, the authors believe that kidney deficiency and essence deficiency is the core mechanism of rheumatoid arthritis bone destruction, and its disease evolution law is summarized as "marrow reduction, flesh flaccid, collaterals blocked". On the basis of modern medical understanding of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis, it is considered that the mechanism in Chinese medicine of "marrow reduction, flesh flaccid, collaterals blocked" ultimately leads to bone destruction, is similar to that in the western medicine of abnormal differentiation of osteoclasts, high expression of nuclear factor-κB receptor activator of ligand, and abnormal expression of inflammatory factors. This point of view may provide a more comprehensive and scientific understanding of the key pathogenic mechanism of bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To investigate the effects of Chaihuang Yishen Granules on renal fibrosis in unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)mice and its underlying mechanisms.Methods Twenty-four 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,and low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules(6 in each group).In control group,only right kidney ureter was exposed and dissected.In model group,the UUO animal model was established by UUO.In low and high dose groups,mice were administered intragastrically at doses of 3.8 and 7.6 g/kg of Chaihuang Yishen Granules respectively,following the model group's method to establish the UUO model.After 7 days,the mice were euthanized and renal samples were collected.HE and Masson staining were used to observe pathological changes and fibrosis degree of the kidneys in each group,Sirius red staining was used to observe collagen deposition.The expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN),type Ⅰ collagen(Col-Ⅰ),glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK-3β),and β-catenin related proteins were detected using Western blotting.Changes in A33 and GSK-3β,β-catenin mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR.Additionally,a normal transformed C3H mouse kidney-1(TCMK1)was used as control(normal group);an in vitro fibrosis model was established using TCMK1 stimulated with Transforming Growth Factor-β(TGF-β);and an in vitro drug model was established using TCMK1 treated with serum containing Chaihuang Yishen Granules.A33 was overexpressed in TCMK1 cells using a transfection with an A33 overexpression plasmid,and changes in fibrosis-related indicators and the expression of A33 and GSK-3β,β-catenin mRNA were observed.Results RT-PCR results showed that,compared with control group,A33 level was significantly increased in model group,while it was significantly reduced in both low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules(P<0.05).Western blotting showed that the expression levels of fibrosis-related factors such as α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ in model group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05);while compared with model group,the expression levels of α-SMA,FN,Col-Ⅰ in low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules were significantly lower(P<0.05).HE,Masson,immunohistochemical staining results showed that model group had severe kidney structural damage,significant increase in collagen deposition,and significantly higher expression levels of GSK-3β and β-catenin proteins compared with those in control group(P<0.01).In contrast,low and high dose groups of Chaihuang Yishen Granules had good kidney structure,significant improvement in kidney damage and fibrosis,and significantly lower expression levels of GSK-3β and β-catenin proteins compared with those in model group(P<0.05).In vitro experiment results confirmed that,compared with normal group,A33 overexpression promoted the upregulation of fibrosis-related factors in TCMK1 cells,significantly increase the expression of downstream target genes GSK-3β and β-catenin mRNA in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway(P<0.05),and A33 overexpression reversed the cellular fibrosis changes downregulated by the serum containing Chaihuang Yishen Granules(P<0.01).Conclusion Chaihuang Yishen Granules significantly improve renal fibrosis in UUO mice by downregulating the A33/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,suggesting that A33 may be a potential therapeutic target for renal fibrosis.
