Objective: To investigate the characteristics of HIV-1 molecular transmission network among HIV/AIDS patients in Zhoushan City, Zhejing Province. Methods: The newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Zhoushan City from 2020 to 2022 were selected. Basic information was collected and whole blood samples were obtained at the initial follow-up. The pol gene sequences of HIV-1 were amplified by RT-PCR and nested-PCR. HIV-1 subtypes were identified by Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic trees. The HIV-1 molecular transmission network was built and analyzed using Cytoscape 3.6.1 software. Results: A total of 222 HIV/AIDS cases were reported in Zhoushan City from 2020 to 2022, 200 whole blood samples were collected, and 152 sequences were obtained successfully, including 122 males (80.26%), 75 cases aged 50 years and above (49.34%), 109 cases with a junior high school education or below (71.71%), and 63 cases with commercial heterosexual contact (41.45%). The main subtypes were CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE, accounting for 45.39% and 21.05%, respectively. When the threshold of genetic distance was set to 1%, 20 molecular clusters were formed in 69 cases, with a clustering rate of 45.39%. Using the molecular network constituted by reported HIV/AIDS cases in 2020 as the baseline network, there were 2 active molecular clusters with ≥5 new cases in 2022, each with 9 cases, characterized mainly by individuals aged 50 or above, with a junior high school education or below, and transmission through commercial heterosexual sex. Conclusions The predominant HIV-1 subtypes among HIV/AIDS cases in Zhoushan City are CRF07_BC and CRF01_AE. Transmission through commercial heterosexual contact among middle-aged and elderly people is a main mode of HIV transmission.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of noise-induced hidden hearing loss by proteomics.Methods:In October 2022, 64 SPF male C57BL/6J mice were divided into control group and noise exposure group with 32 mice in each group according to random sampling method. The noise exposure group was exposed to 100 dB sound pressure level, 2000-16000 Hz broadband noise for 2 h, and the mouse hidden hearing loss model was established. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to test the change of hearing threshold of mice on the 7th day after noise exposure, the damage of basal membrane hair cells was observed by immunofluorescence, and the differentially expressed proteins in the inner ear of mice in each group were identified and analyzed by 4D-Label-free quantitative proteomics, and verified by Western blotting. The results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and t test. Results:On the 7th day after noise exposure, there was no significant difference in hearing threshold between the control group and the noise exposure group at click and 8000 Hz acoustic stimulation ( P>0.05) . The hearing threshold in the noise exposure group was significantly higher than that in the control group under 16000 Hz acoustic stimulation ( P<0.05) . Confocal immunofluorescence showed that the basal membrane hair cells of cochlear tissue in noise exposure group were arranged neatly, but the relative expression of C-terminal binding protein 2 antibody of presynaptic membrane in middle gyrus and basal gyrus was significantly lower than that in control group ( P<0.05) . GO enrichment analysis showed that the functions of differentially expressed proteins were mainly concentrated in membrane potential regulation, ligand-gated channel activity, and ligand-gated ion channel activity. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed proteins were significantly enriched in phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, etc. Western blotting showed that the expression of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor 3 (Itpr3) was increased and the expression of solute carrier family 38 member 2 (Slc38a2) was decreased in the noise exposure group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Through proteomic analysis, screening and verification of the differential expression proteins Itpr3 and Slc38a2 in the constructed mouse noise-induced hidden hearing loss model, the glutaminergic synaptic related pathways represented by Itpr3 and Slc38a2 may be involved in the occurrence of hidden hearing loss.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum L-carnitine and its related metabolites[trimethylamine(TMA)and trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)]levels and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)in the second trimester of pregnant women in Shanghai.Methods A case-control study was conducted in 280 pregnant women between 18 and 23 weeks of gestation from January 2018 to January 2021.Among them,134 cases of GDM were the case group(GDM),and 146 cases with normal blood glucose(BG)were the control group(Con).Serum L-carnitine,TMA and TMAO levels were quantified by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.Logistic regression analysis,stratified analysis and linear regression were used to explore the relationship between L-carnitine,TMA and TMAO levels and GDM and glucolipid metabolism.Results Serum L-carnitinelevelwas significantly lower in GDM group than that in Con group(P<0.01).After adjusting for confounders,logistic regression showed a 70%reduction in the risk of GDM in the group with highest tertile of L-carnitine compared with the group with lowest tertile(OR 0.30,95%CI 0.15～0.63).The risk of GDM decreased by 14%for each 1 μmol/L increase in serum L-carnitine(OR 0.86,95%CI 0.80～0.93).Serum L-carnitine was negatively correlated with 1 hPG(r=-0.21,P<0.01)and 2 hPG(r=-0.15,P<0.05),respectively,TMA was negatively correlated with 2 hPG(r=-0.21,P<0.01).Conclusions Higher serum L-carnitine level may be negatively associated with GDM.Serum L-carnitine and TMA levels were negatively correlated with blood glucose levels.

【Objective】 To explore the effects of early application of erythropoietin (EPO) in patients with anemia after renal transplantation. 【Methods】 Patients who underwent renal transplantation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether EPO was applied after operation, the patients were divided into EPO group and routine group. Patients with delayed renal function recovery were excluded, and the remaining patients were further analyzed. The general, laboratory and follow-up data of the two groups were compared, and adverse drug reactions were observed. 【Results】 The hemoglobin (P=0.026), red blood cell count (P=0.038) and hematocrit (P=0.011) in EPO group were higher than those in the routine group 2 weeks after operation, while the postoperative serum creatinine level was lower (P=0.001). Since the first week after operation, the reticulocyte count in EPO group was significantly higher than that in routine group (P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between hemoglobin and serum creatinine in EPO group at week 1 (r=-0.375, P=0.010) and week 2 (r=-0.386, P=0.008). During the treatment, 6 patients showed transient elevation of serum potassium, which returned to normal after symptomatic treatment, and no obvious adverse drug reactions were observed. 【Conclusion】 Continuous application of erythropoietin in the early stage after renal transplantation can significantly improve anemia in renal transplant patients and promote the recovery of renal function.

Objective:To investigate the ultrasonic characteristics of eccrine spiradenoma (ES) and to analyze the diagnostic value.Methods:Nineteen ES patients with 24 lesions confirmed by pathology in 3 grade-A tertiary hospitals from October 2011 to October 2021 were enrolled as study group, and in the same time, 46 patients with 46 masses in the skin and muscular tissues with clinical features of automatic pain and/or tenderness were selected as control group. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively, including anatomical location, shape, boundary, internal echogenicity, echogenic distribution, calcification, posterior acoustic effect, and vascularity. The ultrasonographic characteristics of the two groups were compared, and the risk sonographic characteristics of ES were obtained by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound characteristics for the diagnosis of ES were calculated.Results:The ultrasonic characteristics of the two groups had significant differences in lobulated shape, boundary, internal echogenicity and posterior acoustic effect (χ 2=32.65, 15.65, 5.77, 13.63; all P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement were the risk ultrasonic characteristics of ES. The sensitivity and specificity of lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics in the diagnosis of ES were 79.17%, 89.13%, 95.83% and 47.83%, respectively; and the sensitivity and specificity of the combination of lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics in the diagnosis of ES were 79.17% and 97.83%, respectively. Conclusions:The lobulated shape and posterior acoustic enhancement characteristics are important for the identification of ES, which have higher diagnostic efficacy for ES.

Objective:To evaluate the distribution characteristics of postinterventional cerebral hyperdensities (PCHDs) in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke after interventional therapy using the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) and to investigate its predictive value for symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).Methods:Consecutive patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke underwent endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) in the Stroke Center of Dongguan People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical, imaging and follow-up data were collected. The immediate PCHDs-ASPECTS after endovascular therapy were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve were used to investigate its predictive value for sICH. Results:A total of 161 patients were enrolled in the study, including 115 males (71.4%). The baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 13.6±5.6; 66 patients (41.0%) developed PCHDs and 35 (21.7%) had sICH. The baseline NIHSS score, the proportion of patients with severe stroke, the number of retrieval attempts and the detection rate of PCHDs in the sICH group were significantly higher than those in the non-sICH group, while diffusion weighted imaging-ASPECTS and PCHDs-ASPECTS were significantly lower than those in the non-sICH group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PCHDs had a significant independent positive correlation with sICH (odds ratio 6.036, 95% confidence interval 1.45-25.123; P=0.013), and PCHDs-ASPECTS had a significant independent negative correlation with sICH (odds ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.496-0.992; P=0.045). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve predicted by PCHDs-ASPECTS was 0.832 ( P<0.05). When its cut-off value was 8 points, the sensitivity and specificity were 74.3% and 83.3% respectively. Conclusions:In patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke treated with EMT, the immediate postoperative PCHDs is an independent predictor of sICH, and PCHDs-ASPECTS can early predict the risk of sICH after EMT.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and changes between Dynesys and Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in the treatment of two-level lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:43 consecutive patients with lumbar degenerative disease were treated using the Dynesys or PLIF between June 2010 and June 2012. In all patients, 23patients were implanted Dynesys and other patients for PLIF. The follow-up period was at least 60 months. Used the Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) to evaluate the clinical outcomes. And during the follow-up period, collected the data for the intervertebral height and the range of motion (ROM), for the operation section and the upper adjacent vertebral. MRI and Grading Scale from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) were used to define the change of intervertebral disc signal.Results:The ODI index and VAS score both improved significantly at the final follow-up evaluation ( P<0.05), as compared to the basal line values. And in terms of imaging, there were no significant difference in the vertebral height of the operation section and the upper adjacent vertebral. The range of motion (ROM) for the operative section in the group of PLIF was significantly lower than that in Dynesys group ( P<0.05). And when it comes to the upper adjacent vertebral space, it was higher at the same time ( P<0.05). According to the UCLA Grading Scale, there were 3 cases in the Dynesys group and 11 in the PLIF group had radiological adjacent degeneration, the difference was significant between two groups ( P<0.05). And when it comes to the second intension, there were 3 patients in PLIF groups (TLIF 1; PLIF 2) but only 1 in Dynesys groups. Conclusion:Dynesys and PLIF are both effective for lumbar degenerative disease and show good medium and long-term clinical and radiographic results. But when it comes the risks in developing ASD and the ROM of adjacent segments, Dynesys stabilization can be the better choice.

During the traumatic brain injury (TBI), improved expression of circulatory miR-21 serves as a diagnostic feature. Low levels of exosome-miR-21 in the brain can effectively improve neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, reduce nerve apoptosis, restore neural function and ameliorate TBI. We evaluated the role of macrophage derived exosomes-miR-21 (M-Exos-miR-21) in disrupting BBB, deteriorating TBI, and Rg1 interventions. IL-1
