With the widespread use of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacterial infections have become a significant threat to human health. Finding new antibacterial strategies that can effectively control drug-resistant bacterial infections has become an urgent task. Unlike small molecule drugs that target bacterial proteins, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) can target genes related to bacterial resistance, pathogenesis, growth, reproduction and biofilm formation. By regulating the expression of these genes, ASO can inhibit or kill bacteria, providing a novel approach for the development of antibacterial drugs. To overcome the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotide into bacterial cells, various drug delivery systems have been applied in this field, including cell-penetrating peptides, lipid nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles, which have injected new momentum into the development of antisense oligonucleotide in the antibacterial realm. This review summarizes the current development of small nucleic acid drugs, the antibacterial mechanisms, targets, sequences and delivery vectors of antisense oligonucleotide, providing a reference for the research and development of antisense oligonucleotide in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Objective To observe the expression and localization of group Ⅰ metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1/ 5) in rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) and the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on mGluR1/ 5 protein level. Methods Twelve male SD rats were randomly divided into control group(Ctrl)and CIH group(CIH), 6 rats in each group. After 6 weeks of modeling, the effect of CIH on mGluR1/ 5 protein level was detected by Western blotting, the expression and distribution of mGluR1/ 5 in SCG were detected by immunohistochemistry and double-immunofluorescent staining. Results mGluR1/ 5 was expressed in rat SCG. mGluR1 was distributed in neurons and small intensely fluorescent (SIF) cells, but not in satellite glial cells (SGCs), nerve fibers and blood vessels, whereas mGluR5 was mainly distributed in nerve fibers and a little in neurons, but not in SGCs, SIF cells and blood vessels. CIH increased the protein levels of mGluR1/ 5 (P<0. 01) in rat SCG. Conclusion Both mGluR1 and mGluR5 are expressed in the rat SCG, but their distribution are different, and the increased protein levels of both may be involved in CIH-induced hypertension.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on cognitive function of vascular dementia (VD) rats and its mechanism. MethodsVD rat model was established by modified two-vessel occlusion (2-VO). After modeling, TEAS and electroacupuncture (EA) were used to stimulate Baihui and Zusanli points of rats respectively for 14 d. After treatment, novel object recognition test, Morris water maze test, and Y maze test were used to evaluate the spatial memory and learning ability of rats. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe the morphology of hippocampal neurons. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of hippocampal mitochondria. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits were used to detected the levels of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, MDA and ROS in serum of rats. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PGC-1α, TFAM, HO-1, NQO1 proteins in the hippocampus, Keap1 protein in the cytoplasm and Nrf2, NRF1 proteins in the nucleus. ResultsAfter treatment for 14 d, compared to the model group, the escape latency of VD rats decreased, while the discrimination index, the times of rats crossing the original platform area, the residence time in the original platform quadrant, and the percentage of alternation increased. TEAS can improve the structure of hippocampal neurons and mitochondria of VD rats, showing that neurons were arranged more regularly and distributed more evenly, nuclear membrane and nucleoli were clearer, and mitochondrial swelling were reduced, mitochondrial matrix density were increased, and mitochondrial cristae were more obvious. The levels of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT in serum increased significantly, while the concentration of MDA and ROS decreased. TEAS also up-regulated the expression levels of PGC-1α TFAM, NQO1 and HO-1 proteins in the hippocampus and Nrf2, NRF1 proteins in the nucleus, but down-regulated the Keap1 protein in the cytoplasm. ConclusionTEAS can improve cognition, hippocampal neurons and mitochondrial structure of VD rats, and the effect is better than EA. The mechanism may be the activation of PGC-1α mediated mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant stress, which also provides a potential therapeutic technology and experimental basis for the treatment of VD.

【Objective】 To clarify the concept of health literacy among children and adolescents with accidental injuries through literature review and analysis. 【Methods】 A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, VIP database, China Biomedical literature database, PubMed, CINAHL, and PscyINFO database. The literature was analyzed using Rodgers′ evolutionary concept analysis method. 【Results】 A total of 56 articles were included. The health literacy of children and adolescents with accidental injuries comprised three conceptual attributes:cognition, emotion and behavior. The influencing factors included children′s demographic factors, family and school related factors and social related factors. The result can be beneficial to reduce the occurrence of injury events, save family economic expenditure and alleviate the burden on social medical resources. However, there is currently a lack of specific measurement tools for assessing health literacy in this population, as the existing evaluation items are drawn from general health literacy scales. 【Conclusions】 The concept of health literacy among children and adolescents with accidental injuries is multifaceted and evolving. Future research should focus on exploring the characteristics of health literacy among children and adolescents of different ages and regions from their own perspectives. Additionally, efforts should be made to refine the concept and develop specialized measurement tools to facilitate further studies in this area.

The standardized workflow of computer-aided static guided implant surgery includes preoperative exami-nation,data acquisition,guide design,guide fabrication and surgery.Errors may occur at each step,leading to irrevers-ible cumulative effects and thus impacting the accuracy of implant placement.However,clinicians tend to focus on fac-tors causing errors in surgical operations,ignoring the possibility of irreversible errors in nonstandard guided surgery.Based on the clinical practice of domestic experts and research progress at home and abroad,this paper summarizes the sources of errors in guided implant surgery from the perspectives of preoperative inspection,data collection,guide de-signing and manufacturing and describes strategies to resolve errors so as to gain expert consensus.Consensus recom-mendation:1.Preoperative considerations:the appropriate implant guide type should be selected according to the pa-tient's oral condition before surgery,and a retaining screw-assisted support guide should be selected if necessary.2.Da-ta acquisition should be standardized as much as possible,including beam CT and extraoral scanning.CBCT performed with the patient's head fixed and with a small field of view is recommended.For patients with metal prostheses inside the mouth,a registration marker guide should be used,and the ambient temperature and light of the external oral scan-ner should be reasonably controlled.3.Optimization of computer-aided design:it is recommended to select a handle-guided planting system and a closed metal sleeve and to register images by overlapping markers.Properly designing the retaining screws,extending the support structure of the guide plate and increasing the length of the guide section are methods to feasibly reduce the incidence of surgical errors.4.Improving computer-aided production:it is also crucial to set the best printing parameters according to different printing technologies and to choose the most appropriate postpro-cessing procedures.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of the textbook outcome (TO) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 253 patients with AGC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included. There were 195 males and 58 females, aged (60.3±10.0) years (range: 27 to 75 years). The patients were then divided into the TO group ( n=168) and the non-TO group ( n=85). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of TO. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze independent prognosis factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the TO and non-TO groups, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. Results:Among the 253 patients, 168 patients (66.4%) achieved TO. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ( OR=0.488, 95% CI: 0.278 to 0.856, P=0.012) and ypN stage ( OR=0.626, 95% CI:0.488 to 0.805, P<0.01) were independently predictive of TO. Multivariate analysis revealed that TO was an independent risk factor for both OS ( HR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.457 to 0.959, P=0.029) and DFS ( HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.483 to 0.976, P=0.036). After matching, the 5-year OS rate (42.2% vs. 27.8%) and the 5-year DFS rate (37.5% vs. 27.8%) were significantly higher in the TO group than in the non-TO group (both P<0.05). Furthermore, patients in the non-TO group benefited significantly from postoperative chemotherapy (both P<0.05), but those in the TO group did not (both P>0.05). Conclusion:TO is an independent prognosis factor in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery for AGC and is associated with postoperative chemotherapy benefits.

Objective:To explore the reform practice and teaching effect of flipped classroom combined with case-based learning (CBL) in the undergraduate teaching of International Classification of Diseases.Methods:The undergraduates of Chongqing Medical University majoring in information management and information system from the classes of 2018 and 2019 were selected as the control group and the experimental group, respectively, and the undergraduates in the control group received lecture-based learning, while those in the experimental group received flipped classroom combined with CBL. After teaching, theoretical assessment and practical skill assessment were performed to evaluate learning effect. R3.6.3 was used to perform statistical analyses; the t-test or the rank-sum test (Mann-Whitney U test) was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in the general information such as age and sex distribution ( t=-1.22, P=0.227; χ2=1.77, P=0.183). There was no significant difference in theoretical assessment score between the two groups [(78.84±8.97) vs. (76.01±8.65), P=0.140]. Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly better results in the correct rate of ICD coding [(94.34±3.22)% vs. (91.36±2.79)%, P=0.006] and the number of coded copies per person per day [15.41 (7.90, 40.97) vs. 7.22 (2.33, 8.83), P=0.006], as well as a better level of practical skills. Conclusions:Flipped classroom combined with CBL can help to enhance the hands-on ability to solve problems among students, thereby improving the overall teaching effect.
