Objective To establish a genetic monitoring method for laboratory quails.Methods Quail microsatellite loci were searched in the literature,and microsatellite DNA loci suitable for quails were screened by an interspecific transfer method in closely related species,namely chickens and ducks.Quail liver DNA was extracted as a template,and the corresponding loci were screened by PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis.On the basis of amplification of the selected microsatellite loci,the number of alleles,polymorphisms,and microsatellite loci combinations for quail genetic quality detection were selected and detection method were developed.Results We preliminary determined 23 microsatellite loci for genetic monitoring of closed-colony laboratory quails.Conclusions A genetic monitoring method for laboratory quails was preliminary developed.

A 31-year-old man sought medical evaluation for a 2-year history of edema and proteinuria, with prior pathology suggesting atypical membranous nephropathy (MN). Despite treatment with a combination of steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and four courses of rituximab (1 g, intravenous injection), the patient′s nephrotic syndrome showed no relief (24 h urine protein peaked at 31.18 g/d), indicating refractory nephrotic syndrome. Later in the disease course, a sudden surge of creatinine level (322.5 μmol/L) prompted a renal biopsy, which revealed concurrent acute interstitial nephritis. Further treatment involving steroids, cyclophosphamide, and a fifth rituximab infusion (1 g, intravenous injection) resulted in improvement in renal function (serum creatinine: 322.5?147 μmol/L), but the MN failed to achieve partial relief. Subsequent treatment with the novel humanized CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab (1 g, intravenous injection) was initiated. In the latest follow-up, anti-phospholipase-A2-receptor antibody (PLA2R) antibody were negative, B cells were eliminated, serum albumin was 36 g/L, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was 4 810 mg/g, and serum creatinine was 162 μmol/L. This case underscores the potential efficacy of obinutuzumab in refractory MN. For advanced MN cases, prompt identification of the cause of acute kidney injury is crucial, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to potentially stall renal function decline.

Objective To study the changes of blood glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px),superoxide dis-mutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and pathological tissues in the rat contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) model,and to determine the role of oxidation mechanism in CIN.Methods A total of 40 adult male SD rats were selected and divided into three big groups and five small groups.After constructing the model,six rats with good status were taken from each group for conducting the experiment.The serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels were measured,the renal tissue biopsy was performed and the morphological changes of kid-ney cells were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline data among the blank control group,the control group and the experimental group (P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels before model construction,at 24,48 h after model construction between the blank control group and the control group (P>0.05).There were statistical-ly significant differences in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels of the experimental group between before model construction and after model construction (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA level in the experimental group between at 24 h after modelling and 48 h af-ter modeling (P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels at 24 h after modeling among the three groups (P>0.05).There were statistically significant differ-ences in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels at 48 h after modeling among the three groups and their pairs (P<0.05).The pathological sections of the blank control group and control group showed no obvious abnor-mal changes in glomeruli,renal tubule and renal interstitium.Renal interstitial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were seen after 24 h in the experimental group,but there was no obvious change in the renal tu-bules.After 48 h,moderate focal-like atrophy of renal tubules,epithelial cell granule degeneration and vacuolar changes were obviously seen.Conclusion The oxidative stress mechanism plays a role in CIN.The contrast a-gent acute renal injury mainly acts on the renal tubules and renal interstitium,and there is no obvious damage to the glomeruli.

In recent years, there has been an increasing trend regarding the incidence of anaphylaxis among children in China. Despite the existence of relevant diagnosis and treatment guidelines for regulation, due to reasons such as uneven allocation of medical resources, there are still many problems in the specific implementation process of primary health care institutions, and these problems may lead to untimely and irregular handling of allergic reactions, thereby increasing the risk for pediatric patients. This review discussed the related issues existing about the diagnosis and treatment of anaphylaxis in children in primary health care institutions.

Objective:To construct acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by using lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and D-dimer to fibrinogen ratio (D/F) and other indicators postoperative patient prognosis nomogram model and evaluation of its predictive value.Methods:A total of 291 acute STEMI patients admitted to the BenQ Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively selected, including but not limited to Lp-PLA2 and D/F, were collected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of death within 90 d after PCI in STEMI patients, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were drawn to compare the survival of patients in different Lp-PLA2 and D/F groups. The R language software was used to build nomogram model and decision curve.Results:The AUCs of LpPLA2 and D/F for predicting the risk of death from cardiac causes at 90 s after PCI in patients with acute STEMI were 0.896 (95% CI 0.850 to 0.932) and 0.884 (95% CI 0.837 to 0.922), respectively. The values were 59.50 μg/L and 0.46 respectively ( P<0.05); the mortality rates of acute STEMI patients in LpPLA2>59.50 μg/L and D/F>0.46 groups after PCI were higher than those in LpPLA2≤59.50 μg/L group and D/F≤0.46 group ( P<0.05); age (>66 years), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (≤45%), LpPLA2 (>59.50 μg/L), D/F (>0.46), N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor (>1.55 μg/L) and fasting blood glucose (>7.00 mmol/L) were the risk of death from cardiac causes at 90 d after PCI in patients with acute STEMI ( P<0.05); when the risk thresholds were >0.24, the nomogram model could provide significant additional net clinical benefit. Conclusions:Lp-PLA2 and D/F are closely related to the prognosis of patients with acute STEMI after PCI, and the nomogram model constructed in combination with other clinical indicators can effectively predict the risk of death within 90 d after PCI.

Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of moderate and severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in the elderly.Methods:An observational study was conducted, and a total of 42 elderly patients with moderate to severe AD were collected from Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2021 to June 2022. These patients all received subcutaneous injection of dupilumab at an initial dose of 600 mg, followed by every-2-week injections at a dose of 300 mg, and the total course of treatment was 16 weeks. Clinical indicators, including eczema area and severity index (EASI) , numerical rating scale (NRS) , dermatology life quality index (DLQI) and investigator′s global assessment (IGA) , were recorded at weeks 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16, and the proportion of patients achieving more than 50% (EASI-50) and 75% (EASI-75) improvement in EASI scores were calculated; related laboratory indicators, including total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and eosinophil counts, were recorded at weeks 0, 4 and 16. During the treatment, adverse events were recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out by using chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance and t test with SPSS27 and GraphPad Prism 9.0 software. Results:Among the 42 patients, there were 25 males (59.5%) and 17 females (40.5%) , and their age was 71.82 ± 16.81 years. Among them, 17 patients (40.5%) presented with generalized eczema phenotype, 15 (35.7%) with flexor eczema phenotype, and 10 (23.8%) with prurigo nodularis phenotype. At weeks 4 and 16 after start of the treatment, the mean EASI score significantly decreased by 38.4% and 73.3% respectively, the mean NRS score significantly decreased by 53.0% and 77.4% respectively, and the mean DLQI score significantly decreased by 58.2% and 93.8% respectively compared with the corresponding scores before the treatment ( P < 0.05 or 0.001) . At weeks 4 and 16, the proportions of patients achieving an IGA score of 0 or 1 were 11.9% and 61.9% respectively, the proportions of patients achieving EASI-50 were 11.9% and 76.2% respectively, and the proportions of patients achieving EASI-75 were 2.4% and 57.1% respectively. Compared with the baseline levels, the mean total serum IgE level decreased by 23.1% and 38.2% at weeks 4 and 16 respectively ( P = 0.274, 0.395, respectively) , and the mean eosinophil count decreased by 24.4% and 37.5% at weeks 4 and 16 respectively ( P = 0.059, 0.735, respectively) . During the treatment, mild adverse events occurred in 6 (14.3%) patients, including conjunctivitis (3 cases) , fungal infection of the head and face (2 cases) , and psoriasiform dermatitis (1 case) , which subsided after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:Dupilumab exhibited a rapid onset and marked efficacy in the treatment of moderate and severe AD in the elderly, with few and mild adverse events; however, some patients had not achieved EASI-50 or EASI-75 after 16-week treatment, and maintenance treatment was required.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting both upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) with large unmet medical needs. Multiple pathological mechanisms are considered to contribute to the progression of ALS, including neuronal oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Honokiol (HNK) has been reported to exert therapeutic effects in several neurologic disease models including ischemia stroke, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Here we found that honokiol also exhibited protective effects in ALS disease models both in vitro and in vivo. Honokiol improved the viability of NSC-34 motor neuron-like cells that expressed the mutant G93A SOD1 proteins (SOD1-G93A cells for short). Mechanistical studies revealed that honokiol alleviated cellular oxidative stress by enhancing glutathione (GSH) synthesis and activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway. Also, honokiol improved both mitochondrial function and morphology via fine-tuning mitochondrial dynamics in SOD1-G93A cells. Importantly, honokiol extended the lifespan of the SOD1-G93A transgenic mice and improved the motor function. The improvement of antioxidant capacity and mitochondrial function was further confirmed in the spinal cord and gastrocnemius muscle in mice. Overall, honokiol showed promising preclinical potential as a multiple target drug for ALS treatment.

Objective:To analyze the symmetry of different reference planes in the surgical simulation design of patients with protrusive jaw deformity with high and low eyes.Methods:Fifteen patients with partial jaw deformity were selected from January 2019 to June 2020, including 3 males and 12 females, aged 18-26 years, with average 23.78 years. Inclusion criteria were that the patients, aged more than 18 years, were diagnosed as protrusive jaw deformity with maxillary occlusal plane tilt and high and low eyes by clinical and imaging analysis. Three different 3D reference plane systems were established by different modeling methods. The distance between the landmarks of soft and hard tissues and the median sagittal plane was measured. The symmetry of skull was qualitatively analyzed by mirror image technique. The difference of three reference planes in surgical simulation symmetry of patients with protrusion jaw and high and low eyes was evaluated by one-way ANOVA.Results:Qualitative analysis showed that in the three measurement planes, the symmetry of the third reference plane was the best, and the symmetry of the second and the first was poor. Quantitative analysis showed that in measurement index of hard tissue, there was statistical difference between the distance of each landmark in the reference plane established by Method 3 and Method 1, Method 2 [(1.65±1.19) mm; (3.37±1.58) mm; (3.26±2.36) mm, P<0.05], but there was no statistical difference between Method 1 and Method 2 (P > 0.05). The measurement result of soft tissue was consistent with that of hard tissue, and the distance of each landmark in Method 3 from the median sagittal plane was very small, and the mean error was less than 0.5 mm, which was consistent with the clinical results. Conclusions:Digital model surgery technology can assist orthognathic surgeons in the design and prediction of surgical scheme, especially for patients with special partial jaw deformity.

Objective:To analyze the research status of umbrella review by bibliometric methods.Methods:The citation search was performed via Web of Science Core Collection database to obtain studies on umbrella review from inception to December 31, 2021. VOSviewer1.6.16 was used to extract the included authors, countries, institutions and keywords, and generate the cooperative network graph of high-productivity authors, countries, institutions, and clustering graph of high-frequency keywords. CiteSpace5.7.R5W was used to detect burst terms.Results:A total of 755 articles or reviews were included. The quantity of studies had been increasing over time. The United Kingdom was the country with the most published papers (297), and the University of College London was the institution with the most published papers (77). A total of 3 863 authors participated in the umbrella review research, of which Solmi M had the largest number of papers with 28 papers published. The main authors formed three groups, with little cooperation between the groups. Research hotspots focused on chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, mental health and its health management. Besides, diabetes, heart failure and Mediterranean diet were the frontier fields.Conclusions:Umbrella review is in the development stage, and the amount of studies is increasing. The United Kingdom is in a leading position in this field. The members of each team work closely together, but there is a lack of cross-team cooperation. Chronic diseases and their management are currently research hotspots and key research contents.
