Objective To study the effect of roxadustat on peritoneal fibrosis.Methods The human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMCs)were cultured with 5.6 mmol/L(N group),138 mmol/L(C group)or 138 mmol/L glucose solution combined with 5 μmol/L roxadustat(R group).A total of 24 SD adult male rats aged 8-10 weeks from the same batch were selected as the study subjects.4.25％high-glucose peritoneal di-alysis solution was intraperitoneally injected to construct the rat peritoneal fibrosis model,which was divided into the normal group(RN group),model group(RC group),roxadustat conventional dose group(RR-N group)and roxadustat high-dose group(RR-H group).The morphology of peritoneal tissues was observed,and the expression levels of HIF-1α,Col-1,VEGF and E-cadherin were detected.Results Compared with the group N,the expression levels of HIF-1α,Col-1 and VEGF in HPMCs in the group C and group R were increased and the expression level of E-cad was decreased(P＜0.05);compared with the group C,the expression levels of HIF-1α,Col-1 and VEGF in the group R were increased and the expression level of E-cad was decreased(P＜0.05).Com-pared with the RN group,the peritoneal structure in the group RC was disordered,a large number of collagen fibers were deposited,and the dense layer was thickened;the angiogenesis in the RR-N group and RR-H group was obvious,but there was no significant difference in the thickness of the dense layer compared with the RC group;compared with the RN group,the expression levels of HIF-1α,Col-1 and VEGF in the peritoneal tissue of the group RC were increased,and the expression level of E-cad was decreased(P＜0.05);compared with the group RC,the expression levels of HIF-1α,Col-1,VEGF and E-cad in the RR-N group had no significant difference;compared with the group RC group and RR-N group,the expression levels of HIF-1α and VEGF in peritoneal tissue in the RR-H group were increased,the expression level of E-cad was decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Roxadustat could cause an increase of HIF-1αexpression level in peritoneal cells and increase the expression level of fibrosis signaling proteins;while con-ventional dose roxadustat does not increase the peritoneal tissue fibrosis in rats,while high-dose roxadustat may have the risk of aggravating peritoneal fibrosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of standardized training on post competency of rehabilitation therapists, based on World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework (RCF), and combined with the characteristics of rehabilitation and the requirements of standardized training in China. MethodsFrom 2018 to 2022, a total of 30 rehabilitation therapists who participated in the standardized training were selected. Before and after the standardized training, the closed-book theoretical assessment and Mini-clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) assessment were carried out, and a 360-Degree Evaluation scale was distributed to their teachers, peers and patients. Through multi-dimensional post competency analysis, the data obtained from the scales were combined with the five dimensions of basic theoretical knowledge, clinical practice ability, medical humanities literacy, scientific research and teaching ability, and organizational management ability to analyze the effect of standardized training on post competency of rehabilitation therapists. ResultsAfter training, the therapists improved in theory and case analysis (Z > 2.716, P < 0.05). They also improved in medical interview skills, physical examination, humane care/professionalism, clinical judgment ability and overall clinical level (Z > 2.162, P < 0.05) according to Mini-CEX. The medical ethics, daily work, management ability, social ability, interpersonal communication ability, basic professional ability and operation ability improved (Z > 1.978, P < 0.05) according to the 360-Degree Evaluation scale. The effect of standardized training was significant in basic theoretical knowledge, clinical practice ability and medical humanities literacy by the post competency analysis model. ConclusionThe effect of standardized training of rehabilitation therapists is significant, and the therapists can be competent for daily work in diagnosis and treatment after training.

Minimally degenerative nephropathy is one of the common types of primary nephrotic syndrome, and it is currently believed that B lymphocytes are closely related to its pathogenesis. Patients with refractory small degenerative kidney disease require treatment with glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressant. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that consumes B cells. Its use in the treatment of patients with refractory microdegenerative kidney disease can reduce recurrence rate, prolong remission period, and reduce hormone exposure. However, there is no consensus on the treatment plan and adverse reaction response measures, and multicenter, prospective, and large-scale research answers are still needed. This article summarizes the latest progress of rituximab in the treatment of refractory minimal degenerative kidney disease, hoping to provide assistance for the development of clinical treatment strategies.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a salivary gland malignant tumor which mainly occurs in the head, neck and the mammary gland, and is characterized with easy invasion of peripheral nerves, local easy recurrence after resection and painless distant metastasis. The treatment of ACC is usually based on surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy. Patients with advanced disease usually cannot be cured, so far there is no ideal treatment regimen. Some studies have suggested that some targeted drugs show advantages in ACC patients who are insensitive or resistant to conventional therapy. This paper summarizes the research progress of molecular targeted therapy for ACC of salivary gland in order to provide new treatment options for ACC patients especially for those at advanced stage.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence and genotypes of human pegivirus-1 (HPgV-1) among HIV-1-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zhuhai, aiming to elucidate the impact of HPgV-1 on the progression of AIDS.Methods:This study collected 934 serum specimens positive for antibodies against HIV-1 for viral RNA extraction from MSM in Zhuhai from 2012 to 2020. HPgV-1 5′UTR was amplified by nested PCR and then E gene was amplified by nested PCR and sequenced in the 5′UTR-positive specimens. A phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genotype distribution. The influence of HPgV-1 infection on the progression of AIDS was evaluated through analyzing HIV-1 viral load and CD4 + cell counts in patients in the early stage of AIDS before antiviral treatment. Results:The positive rate of HPgV-1 in MSM with HIV-1 infection in Zhuhai was 31.05%. A total of 273 valid sequences were obtained after amplification. The main genotype of HPgV-1 was G3 (252, 92.31%), which was highly homologous to the epidemic strains in China and Japan in recent years, followed G2 (21, 7.69%), which was highly homologous to the epidemic strains in France and America. HPgV-1 strains of G1, G4, G5, G6 and G7 genotypes were not detected. There was no significant difference in HIV-1 virus load or CD4 + cell counts between patients with HIV-1 infection alone and those with HIV-1 and HPgV-1 (G3 or G2 genotype) co-infection. Conclusions:According to the data of this study, HPgV-1 infection could not delay the progression of AIDS in MSM in the early stage of AIDS before antiviral therapy. The widespread HPgV-1 of G3 genotype in China did not have a significant impact on the progression of AIDS. Therefore, a systematic in-depth research on various genotypes of HPgV-1 and further study on the pathogenic mechanism of HPgV-1, especially in patients with HPgV-1 and HIV co-infection, were needed to understanding the interaction mechanism between different genotypes of HPgV-1 and HIV-1.

Guided bone regeneration technology applied in alveolar bone defect regeneration is based on the barrier function and space maintenance of the barrier membrane. Therefore, traditional development strategies for barrier membranes focus on their physical barrier function, degradation characteristics and biocompatibility to avoid immunogenicity. However, not only does the barrier membrane passively block connective tissue, it is recognized as a “foreign body”that triggers a persistent host immune response, known as a foreign body reaction. The theories of osteoimmunology reveal a close relationship between the immune system and bone system and emphasize the role of immune cells in bone tissue-related pathophysiological processes. Based on these findings, we propose a novel development strategy for barrier membranes based on immune microenvironment regulation: by manipulating mechanical properties, surface properties and physiochemical properties, barrier membranes are endowed with an improved immunomodulation ability, which helps to regulate immune cell reactions to induce a favorable local immune microenvironment, thus coordinating osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis as well as barrier membrane degradation to increase the efficiency of barrier membranes in GBR applications. In this paper, we review the development of barrier membranes and their close relationship to the immune microenvironment concerning bone regeneration and membrane degradation. Additionally, the outcomes of research on barrier membranes based on the regulation of the immune microenvironment have been summarized to improve the osteogenesis efficiency of barrier membranes and solve the problem of the regeneration and repair of bone defects, especially alveolar bone defects.

Objective: To describe the molecular epidemiological characteristics of norovirus gastroenteritis outbreaks in Zhuhai from 2011 to 2016. Methods: Anal swab specimens were collected from 576 cases with 56 outbreaks of acute norovirus gastroenteritis from 2011 to 2016. Specimens were tested by real-time RT-PCR. Three to four of norovirus positive specimens were selected from every outbreak to amplify the VP1 gene by RT-PCR and one strain was chosen randomly from every outbreaks to determine the genotype by phylogenetic tree analysis. Results: Eight genotypes were identified from 56 outbreaks and all of them belonged to GⅡ genogroup. The genotype of norovirus strain changed with prevalence time. The GⅡ.4/2006b was dominant from 2011 to 2012, and replaced by GⅡ.4/Sydney _2012 during the 2012—2013 norovirus season, and both of them never appeared after Feb. 2013. GⅡ.17 was the only genotype during the 2014—2015 norovirus season. All the 7 outbreaks occurred from 2015 to 2016 were caused by GⅡ.3 norovirus. The GⅡ.17and GⅡ.3 were identified from Apr. to Sep. 2016; GⅡ.p16-GⅡ.2 were the only genotype in 12 outbreaks from Nov. to Dec. 2016. The GⅠ genogrope was never identified from 2011 to 2016 in Zhuhai. Conclusions The Norovirus GⅡ was the only pathogeny which caused the outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis. The recombinant norovirus strain GⅡ.p16-GⅡ.2 emerged and caused large outbreaks in the last two months of 2016 in Zhuhai; several recombinant strains of the GⅡ.p16 RdRp gene were found now, which suggests that attention should be focused on the prevalence and evolution of the recombinant norovirus.
