Objective To investigate the shedding of CAV2-ΔE3-CGS after immunization and the background of canine adenovirus (CAV) infection, and to establish a dual fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method for rabies virus (RV) and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV2). Methods A dual fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method was established by designing specific primers and probes for E1 gene of CAV and G gene of RV for the detection of CAV2-ΔE3-CGS. Oral swabs, anal swabs and environmental samples of stray dogs from experimental animal farm and dog detention center were tested. Results The standard curves generated by this method were Y=-3.351 × logX + 44.895, R2 = .999 and Y=-3.413 × logX + 45.192, R2=0.996, respectively. The linear relationships were good, and the minimum detection limits were both 102 copies/μL. CAV2-ΔE3-CGS was not detected in experimental animal farm. CAV was detected in dog detention center, and the positive rates were 5.88% (5/85) in oral swabs, 8.24% (7/85) in anal swabs, and 4% (1/25) in environmental samples. Conclusion The dual fluorescent quantitative PCR method can be used for the detection of CAV2-ΔE3-CGS after immunization and the investigation of CAV infection. The present study has shown that no CAV2-ΔE3-CGS has been detected after immunization and CAV infection rate of stay dogs is low in Shanghai. CAV2-ΔE3-CGS oral immunization meets requirement and is applicable.

OBJECTIVES:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of all lung cancer, with highmorbidity and mortality rate. Nove drug development for NSCLC is urgently needed.This study aims to investigate the activity of lathyrol derivatives and the mechanism for its inhibitory effect on the growth of NSCLC cells.
METHODS:
Three lathyrol derivatives were synthesized from lathyrol and their structures were verified by nuclear magnetic resonance. MTT assay was used to detect the effects of the lathyrol derivatives on the proliferation activity of NSCLC cells (A549 and H1299 cells), and the compound with the best activity was selected for subsequent experiments. Colony forming assay, wound-healing assay, and transwell assay were applied to detect in vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability in A549 and H1299 cells, respectively. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to detect mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, β-catenin, and MMP2 in A549 cells, respectively.
RESULTS:
Three lathyrol derivatives inhibited the growth of A549 and H1299 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and they showed a weak inhibitory effect on normal cells Beas-2B and 16HBE, indicating that they possessed certain selective toxic effects. Therefore, C-5 benzoylated lathyrol with the best activity was selected as the ideal drug for the subsequent experiments. Compared with the control group, the number and size of cell clusters in the treatment group of A549 and H1299 cells were significantly decreased, the relative mobility were significantly decreased, and the number of invaded cells were significantly decreased (all P<0.05), indicating that the in vitro cell proliferation, migration and invasion ability were decreased. The mRNA levels of integrin α2, integrin β1, MMP2, MMP9, β-catenin, and N-cadherin were decreased, while the expression of E-cadherin was increased (all P<0.05). The protein levels of N-cadherin, β-catenin, MMP2, and integrin αV were decreased, while the expression of E-cadherin was increased (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
The lathyrol derivatives synthesized in this study possess good inhibitory activity against NSCLC. Among them, C-5 benzoylated lathyrol significantly inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of NSCLC cells in vitro through regulating the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of percutaneous curved vertebroplasty (PCVP) and unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 104 patients with single vertebral OVCF treated in Tianjin Hospital from September 2019 to September 2020, including 21 males and 83 females; aged 50-91 years [(70.3±7.7)years]. AO classification of the fracture was type A1 in 65 patients and type A2 in 39. The patients received PCVP (PCVP group, n=51) or unilateral PKP surgery (unilateral PKP group, n=53). The operation time, bone cement injection volume, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, effective dispersion times of bone cement and excellent rate of bone cement distribution were compared between the two groups. In evaluation of the therapeutic effects of the two groups, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) were measured preoperatively and at postoperative 24 hours, 3 months and 6 months; Beck index was measured preoperatively and at postoperative 24 hours and 3 months. The rate of bone cement leakage and rate of refracture of adjacent vertebral bodies were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients were followed up for 6-8 months [(6.4±0.7)months]. The operation time, bone cement injection volume and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency in PCVP group was (12.15±1.63)minutes, (2.13±0.28)ml and (24.74±1.71)times, shorter or less than (22.09±1.62)minutes, (5.30±0.52)ml and (30.09±1.86)times in unilateral PKP group (all P<0.01). The effective dispersion times of bone cement in PCVP group was (1.42±0.04)times, higher than (1.18±0.02)times in unilateral PKP group ( P<0.01). The excellent rate of bone cement distribution in PCVP group was 94%, higher than 70% in unilateral PKP group ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in VAS, ODI and Beck index between the two groups before operation and at 24 hours and 3 months after operation (all P>0.05). VAS and ODI in PCVP group were (1.20±0.49)points and 16.52±5.22 at 6 months after operation, lower than (1.49±0.58)points and 20.16±5.16 in unilateral PKP group (all P<0.01). VAS and ODI in the two groups were significantly improved at 24 hours, 3 months and 6 months after operation when compared with those before operation (all P<0.05). Beck index in the two groups detected at 24 hours and 3 months after operation was improved from that before operation (all P<0.05). Unilateral PKP group showed Beck index was 0.75±0.07 at 3 months after operation, significantly lower than 0.79±0.07 at 24 hours after operation ( P<0.05), but there was no significant change in PCVP group ( P>0.05). The leakage rate of bone cement in PCVP group was 16% (8/51), lower than 47% (25/53) in unilateral PKP group ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of refracture of adjacent vertebral bodies between the two groups during follow-up ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For OVCF, PCVP is superior to unilateral PKP in terms of operation time, amount of bone cement injection, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, dispersion effect of bone cement in vertebral body, pain, function improvement, maintenance of injured vertebral height and incidence of bone cement leakage.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes and prognosis of children who were prenatally diagnosed with solid space-occupying abdominal lesions by ultrasound.Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled 30 children with solid space-occupying abdominal lesions that were indicated by prenatal ultrasound at Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March 2015 to March 2021. Prenatal ultrasound findings, postnatal treatment, clinical outcomes, and prognosis were analyzed.Results:These subjects included 18 male and 12 female infants, with the median gestational age at the first sonographic diagnosis of 36 weeks (28 to 39 weeks). The intra-abdominal solid masses were postnatally confirmed to be located in liver, retroperitoneum, and gastrointestinal tract, which were hepatic hemangioma ( n=14), hepatoblastoma ( n=2), neuroblastoma ( n=6), abdominal teratoma ( n=4), adrenal hematoma ( n=1), adrenocortical adenoma ( n=1), hyperplasia of renal capillary ( n=1), and gastrointestinal teratoma ( n=1). The accuracy of prenatal ultrasound in detecting the location of masses was 73% (22/30) and which was 13/16 in detecting masses from liver and 9/14 in that outside the liver. Among the 30 cases, 73% (22/30) were benign tumors, and 27% (8/30) were malignant tumors (hepatoblastoma in two cases and neuroblastoma in six cases). Among 15 patients with benign tumors (hepatic hemangioma and adrenal hematoma) who received close follow-up or drug therapy, tumor/lesion regression occurred in 13 cases and the other two were observed with stable hepatic hemangiomas. Fourteen patients, including six with neuroblastoma, two with hepatoblastoma, five with teratoma, one with adrenocortical adenoma, and one with hyperplasia of renal capillary, had good prognosis after primary tumor resection or combined with postoperative chemotherapy. One hepatoblastoma case died after withdrawing treatment. The overall survival rate was 97% (29/30) with a median follow-up time of 24 months (4 to 60 months). Conclusions:Prenatal ultrasound has high accuracy in identifying the anatomic region of fetal solid space-occupying abdominal lesions. With close postnatal follow-up and proper treatment, most of the affected fetuses will have a good outcome and prognosis.
6.Group risk perception and selfefficacy with individual prevention/control behaviors among college students during the COVID 19 pandemic
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(10):1539-1543
Objective:
To explore the relationship between group risk perception, self efficacy and attitudes among college students, and its associations with individual prevention and control behaviors regarding COVID 19 pandemic.
Methods:
From October to November 2021, data were collected among 4 092 undergraduate students from eight colleges and universities in Anhui Province,using a multi stage stratified cluster sampling method. A t test and analysis of variance were performed for comparison between groups, while multiple linear regression was employed to investigate group risk perception, self efficacy and attitudes among college students in terms of individual COVID 19 prevention and control measures.
Results:
The total scores of group emotional risk perception (ARP), cognitive risk perception (CRP), distance perception (DIP) and self efficacy were (19.72±4.01)(14.56±3.64)(18.04±5.33) and (27.27±6.74), respectively. The total score of attitudes and beliefs was (26.15±4.54), while individual prevention and control behavior was (25.67±4.45). Emotional risk perception ( β=0.16 ), cognitive risk perception ( β=0.08 ), attitudes ( β=0.23 ) and self efficacy ( β=0.13 ) were positively correlated with individual prevention and control behaviors of college students( P <0.05). However, distance risk perception had no significant effect ( P >0.05).
Conclusion
Risk perception, self efficacy and attitude of college students are correlated with individual COVID 19 prevention and control behaviors. Therefore, colleges and universities should strengthen general self efficacy and attitude,and improve risk awareness towards COVID 19 among college students, and promote the effective prevention and control of campus epidemic.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of fetal intravascular transfusion via the intrahepatic vein in the treatment of fetal anemia.Methods:This was a retrospective analysis of all fetuses requiring intrauterine transfusion (IUT) in the Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital between January 2010 and December 2019. According to the different ways of IUT, they were divided into intrahepatic venous transfusion group and umbilical venous transfusion group, fetal outcomes and the incidence of procedure-related complications between the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 97 IUTs were performed on 48 fetuses. Among them, 16 cases were performed in the intrahepatic vein (31 transfusions), 32 cases were performed in the cord of the umbilical vein (66 transfusions).There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, labor history and the proportion of fetal hydrops before the first transfusion. In the intrahepatic venous transfusion group, the posterior placenta was 14/16, which was significantly higher than 78% (25/32) in the umbilical venous transfusion group ( P<0.01). The live-birth rates of the two groups were 13/16 and 75% (24/32). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Before intrahepatic venous transfusion, the proportion of fetal hydrops was significantly higher than that of umbilical venous transfusion [55% (17/31) vs 24% (16/66), P<0.05]. Puncture success rate of intrahepatic venous transfusion and umbilical venous transfusion were both 100%. In the umbilical venous transfasion group, the incidence of needle slippage (5%, 3/66) and the abnormality of fetal heart rate (11%, 7/66) were higher than those in the intrahepatic venous transfasion group [0 and 3% (1/31)], but there were no significant differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were no cases of fetal loss within 24 hours, premature rupture of membranes, infection within 7 days and emergency cesarean section after IUT in both groups. Conclusions:Fetal intravascular transfusion via the intrahepatic vein is safe and feasible in the treatment of fetal anemia. But the requirements of puncture technique are relatively high, so it is recommended to be carried out in experienced fetal treatment center.

Emblic medicine is a popular natural source in the world due to its outstanding healthcare and therapeutic functions. Our preliminary results indicated that the quality of emblic medicines might have an apparent regional variation. A rapid and effective geographical traceability system has not been designed yet. To trace the geographical origins so that their quality can be controlled, an integrated spectroscopic strategy including spectral pretreatment, outlier diagnosis, feature selection, data fusion, and machine learning algorithm was proposed. A featured data matrix (245 × 220) was successfully generated, and a carefully adjusted RF machine learning algorithm was utilized to develop the geographical traceability model. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy is effective and can be generalized. Sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE) and accuracy (ACC) of 97.65%, 99.85% and 97.63% for the calibrated set, as well as 100.00% predictive efficiency, were obtained using this spectroscopic analysis strategy. Our study has created an integrated analysis process for multiple spectral data, which can achieve a rapid, nondestructive and green quality detection for emblic medicines originating from seventeen geographical origins.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site combined with transurethral approach for unilateral retrograde nephroureterectomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract epithelial carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 12 patients from January 2018 to November 2019 with unilateral retrograde nephroureterectomy were analyzed retrospectively. There were 7 males and 5 females with an average age of 65.9 years, the age ranged from 50 to 78 years.There were 8 cases with left ureteral tumor, 6 cases with left renal pelvis tumor, 4 cases with right tumor(2 cases of right ureteral tumor and 2 cases of right renal pelvis tumor). Surgical methods: 1470 laser sleeve was used to remove the inner segment of the ureter bladder wall after the lower ureter was clipped through abdominal approach, and the urethra was inserted under the guidance of zebra guide wire.The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative auxiliary cannula, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative drainage tube removal time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative pathology were recorded.Results:All of the operations were successful. The mean operation time was 194(135-260)min, the mean estimated blood loss was 50(25-100) ml, and the mean hospitalization time was 11.6(5-24)d. Among the 12 patients, 8 patients had abdominal drainage tube after operation. The mean time for drainage was 6.8(3-11)d. One patient added a 5 mm ancillary port.One patient had urinary leakage at the bladder anastomotic site, the catheter was removed 3 weeks later. The other patients had no postoperative incision infection, fever, bleeding, venous thrombosis and other related complications.No patient received blood transfusion and the pathological margin was negative. The median follow-up time was 12 months (5-15 months). One patient died of lumbar metastasis 8 months after operation, and others were neither tumor recurrence nor distant metastasis.Conclusions:The application of laparoendoscopic single-site combined with transurethral approach for unilateral retrograde nephroureterectomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract epithelial carcinoma is safe, accurate and effective, with less trauma and less bleeding. It is worth applying in clinical practice.
