OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A1(eEF1A1)on the replication of vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV)and Herpes simplex virus 1(HSV-1)to identify a potential target for broad-spectrum regulation of viruses.METHODS Small interfering RNA(si-eEF1A)was transfected into human skin fibroblasts(BJ-5ta)to inhibit the expression of eEF1A1,and the negative control group was set up.The transfection efficiency was detected by real-time fluo-rescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blotting,the cell model of eEF1A1 gene silencing was constructed.The cell model was infected with VSV,the gene copy number and protein expression of VSV in the cells were detected.The cell model was infected with HSV-1,the mRNA and protein expres-sion of HSV-1 in the cells were detected.The cell models were transfected with polyinosinic acid[Poly(I:C)]or sodium deoxyribonucleic acid(HT-DNA),respectively.The mRNA expression of interferon-β(IFN-β),C-X-C Motif Chemokine 10(CXCL10)and interferon-stimulated gene 56(ISG56)were detected by RT-qPCR.The phosphorylation expression of interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF3)and TANK binding kinase 1(TBK1)were detected by Western blotting.RESULT Compared with the negative control group,the mRNA and protein expression of eEF1A1 in the eEF1A1 gene silencing group were signifi-cantly decreased(P<0.01),the cell model of eEF1A1 gene silencing was successfully constructed.Compared with the negative control group,the VSV gene copy number of the eEF1A1 gene silencing group decreased by 70%-80%.The VSV protein expression decreased significantly(P<0.01).The mRNA expression of HSV-1 was decreased by 50%-60%,and the protein expression of HSV-1 was significantly decreased(P<0.01).After stimulation with Poly(I:C)or HT-DNA,compared with the negative control group.there was no significant difference in the mRNA expressions of IFN-β,ISG56 and CXCL10 and the protein phosphorylation expression of IRF3 and TBK1 in the eEF1A1 gene silencing group.CONCLUSION eEF1A1 silencing can inhibit VSV and HSV-1 virus replication,suggesting that eEF1A1 has a potential broad-spectrum regulatory effect on RNA viruses and DNA viruses,and may not recog-nize activated immune pathways through intracellular nucleic acid recognition.

Objective:To explore the perinatal characteristics and early postnatal circulatory function of the larger fetus in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy complicated with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR).Methods:From February 2018 to August 2022, a total of 91 larger fetuses of the sIUGR pregnancies who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively included. The perinatal factors, clinical monitoring indicators, and echocardiographic data of the larger twins in pregnancies with three types of sIUGR were compared using one-way analysis of variance and LSD test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Chi-square test, and Bonferroni correction. Results:The gestational age, birth weight, and placental weight were (30.6±1.5) weeks, (1 503.9±286.4) g, and (548±120) g in the type Ⅱ sIUGR larger twins and were (30.5±2.3) weeks, (1 523.5±424.4) g, and (560±109) g in type Ⅲ, which were all smaller, lower, and lighter than those in the type Ⅰ[(33.0±1.7) weeks, (2 022.1±372.3) g, and (630±131) g, respectively] (LSD test, all P<0.05). Compared with type Ⅰ sIUGR larger twins, type Ⅱ and Ⅲ sIUGR larger twins had longer hospital stay [36.0 d (27.0-43.0 d) and 32.0 d (15.0-47.0 d) vs. 17.0 d (9.5-22.0 d)], higher proportion of preterm births due to fetal distress [63.6% (21/33) and 75.0% (15/20) vs. 31.6% (12/38), χ2=7.30 and 9.93] (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.017); Compared with type Ⅰ sIUGR larger twins, type Ⅱ sIUGR larger twins had higher proportion of postnatal use of vasoactive drugs [45.5% (15/33) vs. 18.4% (7/38), χ2=6.04, P=0.014]. The interventricular septum thickness was larger in the type Ⅲ sIUGR larger twins than those in the type Ⅰ and Ⅱ twins [(4.4±1.4) vs. (3.8±0.9) and (3.3±0.9) mm]; the thickness of left ventricular free wall was the largest in the type Ⅲ larger twins, followed by those in the type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ [(4.6±1.3) vs. (3.1±0.7) vs. (2.7±0.6) mm]; the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, right ventricular outflow tract diameter, right ventricular anteroposterior diameter, and pulmonary artery diameter in type Ⅰ larger twins were increased comparing with those in type Ⅱ and Ⅲ [left ventricular end-diastolic diameter: (15.0±2.1) vs. (13.4±2.3) and (12.3±3.2) mm; right ventricular outflow tract diameter: (8.7±1.4) vs. (7.3±1.4) and (7.1±0.8) mm; right ventricular anteroposterior diameter: (7.1±1.5) vs. (6.5±0.9) and (6.4±1.0) mm; pulmonary artery diameter: (6.8±1.1) vs. (6.3±0.9) and (6.3±0.8) mm] (LSD test, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The larger fetuses of type Ⅱ and Ⅲ sIUGR pregnancies had smaller gestational age and lighter birth weight who are more prone to have fetal distress, so it is necessary to strengthen dynamic monitoring and circulatory support for such neonates during the perinatal period and early postnatal period. The thickening of the left ventricular wall and interventricular septum in the early postnatal period of type Ⅲ larger fetuses may lead to the decrease of ventricular diastolic function reserve, thereby the evaluation and monitoring of the myocardial diastolic function of these neonates in the early postnatal period are critical.

BACKGROUND:The abnormal gait of stroke patients seriously affects their propulsive force during walking,which subsequently reduces their walking speed,walking distance,and stability,increases their risk of falls,and seriously affects their quality of life. OBJECTIVE:To review the relevant research on propulsive force deficits in stroke patients with hemiplegia,to summarize the understanding of existing researchers on propulsive force deficits,to analyze the relationship between propulsive force and gait,and finally to explain and compare the latest rehabilitation technologies used to improve propulsive force deficits,providing reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Relevant literature was retrieved from WanFang,CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science Core Collection through computer search.The Chinese and English search terms were"propulsive force OR propulsive,stroke OR cerebral infarction OR hemiplegia,walk* OR gait."The search time limit was from 2003 to 2023,and 71 articles were finally included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Training targeting the hip and ankle joints may be more effective for patients'walking function,especially training with the application of flexible exoskeleton robots,but more sufficient evidence is still needed to use propulsion as a prognostic indicator of walking function in stroke patients.Biomechanical variables related to propulsive force include:the hip joint extension angle at terminal stance,ankle joint dorsiflexion torque,and knee joint extension.Damage to the corticospinal tract,cerebellar-cortical pathways,and the reticulospinal tract in hemiplegic patients are associated with reduced propulsive force and gait asymmetry.Propulsive force is crucial for the stability of healthy gait,and a decrease in propulsive force is unfavorable for gait stability.Gait symmetry is correlated with propulsive force,stride length symmetry,trunk displacement,and lower limb swing ability,with propulsive force being a key factor.Propulsive force can serve as a quantitative indicator for assessing the gait of hemiplegic patients,and evaluation of gait using propulsive force is beneficial for the long-term development of walking ability.Main rehabilitation techniques for improving propulsive force include:lower limb exoskeleton robot walking training,treadmill training combined with functional electrical stimulation,adaptive speed treadmill training,biofeedback technology,and whole-body vibration training.Among them,whole-body vibration training and biofeedback technology are more effective.The specific contributions and mechanisms of the hip,knee,and ankle joints in improving propulsive force are still controversial,but it is expected that the contributions of the hip and ankle joints are greater.Focusing on the improvement of propulsive force as a rehabilitation goal may yield more sustainable advancements in walking function.However,several current challenges persist in this field:understanding the neurobiological basis of propulsive force deficits in stroke patients,assessing the long-term efficacy of current rehabilitation techniques for enhancing propulsive force,and determining the most suitable patient populations for the application of major rehabilitation techniques aiming at improving propulsive force.These areas require further exploration by subsequent researchers.

Objective:To establish auto verification rules for the routine coagulation assays,and to provide reference for clinical laboratories to improve the quality and efficiency of results verification.Methods:A total of 24,510 specimens of sodium citrate anticoagulation routine coagulation test from the laboratory departments of eight hospitals including the First Medical Center,Chinese PLA General Hospital during January to March 2020 were collected and randomly divided into a rule establishment group and a rule verification group,with 6,670 specimens in the rule establishment group,including 2,056 Delta checks,and 17,840 specimens in the rule validation group,including 3,210 Delta checks.The activities of prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(Fib),thrombin time(TT),D-dimer(DD)and/or antithrombin(AT)were detected by Stago STA R Max automatic coagulation analyzer and supporting reagents.Taking the manual verification results as the standard,the auto verification and manual false negative rate(invalid verification),false positive rate(invalid interception),pass rate,positive coincidence rate,negative coincidence rate,verification consistency rate and specimen turnaround time(TAT)of the two groups were calculated.Results:The auto verification rules and the application process were preliminarily established,including internal quality control,alarm information,auto verification scope,critical value and deviation value inspection.In the rule establishment group,the single item pass rate was 82.6%-92.4%,and the overall pass rate was 73.8%.The consistency rate between auto verification and manual verification was 98.2%,and the positive coincidence rate and negative coincidence rate were 24.4%and 73.8%,respectively.In the rule verification group,the single item pass rate was 86.4%-91.5%,and the overall review pass rate was 71.5%.By simulating the application of auto verification rules,the average TAT of two hospitals among the eight hospitals was shortened by 1.5 hours and 2.1 hours,respectively.Conclusion:The application of auto verification rules can reduce workload of manual verification,and significantly shorten the TAT,and improve the report efficiency of the laboratory.
