Sheep pox is widespread worldwide and is the most severe animal pox virus infection. This study aimed to identify the key microRNAs (miRNAs) differentially expressed in the exosomes of sheep poxvirus-infected cells and their target genes and related pathways and provide a theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms of sheep poxvirus-infected cells. In this study, the differentially expressed miRNAs were verified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and the target genes of miRNAs were predicted and analyzed by bioinformatics. The qPCR results showed that the expression trends of oar-miR-21, oar-miR-10b, oar-let-7f, oar-let-7b, and oar-miR-221 were consistent with the sequencing results. The Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes results showed that differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in the immune system processes of the Arf6 downstream pathway. The target genes Reactome pathways were mainly enriched in the RAC1 GTPase cycle, CDC42 GTPase cycle, RHO GTPase cycle, RHOV GTPase cycle, and post-transcriptional silencing of small RNAs. The transcription factors SP4, NKX6-1, MEF2A, SP1, EGR1, and POU2F1 that may be connected to sheep pox virus (SPPV)-infected cells were discovered by transcription factor annotation screening. In conclusion, this study screened for differentially expressed miRNAs in SPPV-infected cells and performed a series of bioinformatic analyses of their target genes to provide a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanism of sheep pox virus infections of cells. The data can be used as basic information in future studies on the defense mechanisms against poxvirus infections.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Aim To study the regulatory effect of poly-datin on D-galactose-induced aging model mice.Methods Fifty-six ICR mice(half male and half fe-male)were divided into normal group,model group,positive group,low,medium and high polydatin treat-ment groups.Aging model was established by subcuta-neous injection of D-galactose(500 mg·kg-1)into the back of neck every day.During the modeling peri-od,the positive group was given donepezil hydrochlo-ride tablets(0.75 mg·kg-1)by gavage,the treat-ment group was given polydatin(40,70,100 mg·kg1)by gavage,and the normal group was given the same amount of normal saline.The learning and cogni-tive ability of mice was evaluated by nesting experi-ment,new object recognition experiment and Morris water maze experiment.The heart,liver,spleen,kid-ney and thymus of mice were taken to calculate the or-gan index.The pathological changes of whole brain tis-sue in mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The levels of T-SOD,MDA,GSH-Px and AchE in serum and whole brain tissue of mice were de-tected by ELISA.The protein expression levels of Keap1,Nrf2 and HO-1 in hippocampus of mice were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group,the nesting ability,the ability to recog-nize new objects and the ability to find platforms under-water of the mice in the positive group and the low,medium and high dose groups of polydatin were im-proved.The organ index increased.The neuronal dam-age in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus was signifi-cantly ameliorated.The activities of T-SOD and GSH-Px in serum and brain tissue increased and the activi-ties of MDA and AchE decreased.The expression lev-els of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein in hippocampus in-creased,and the expression level of Keap1 protein de-creased.Conclusions Polydatin can ameliorate the learning and cognitive impairment in D-galactose-in-duced aging model mice,and its mechanism may be related to the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of diabetes and/or obesity on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and long-term renal function recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was performed on 221 patients who underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital during Jan.2018 and Dec.2019. Baseline data, incidence of AKI, and renal function recovery after 12 months were analyzed in the diabetic, non-diabetic, diabetic + obese and diabetic + non-obese groups, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reaching 90% of the preoperative level as the standard. Risk factors of AKI were analyzed with univariate and multivariate regression analyses. 【Results】 Compared with the non-diabetic group, the diabetic group had lower preoperative eGFR [ (79.1±12.1)mL/ (min·1.73 m² )vs. (85.3±10.7)mL/ (min·1.73 m² ), P=0.01] , higher incidence of AKI (14.0% vs. 11.8%), and lower proportion of patients whose renal function recovered to at least 90% of the preoperative level (73.1% vs.83.5%). Patients with diabetes and obesity were more likely to develop AKI (31.3% vs.3.7%, P=0.039), and diabetic patients without obesity had better renal function recovery (81.3% vs. 60.0%). Multivariate analysis showed gender and operation time were the independent risk factors of AKI. 【Conclusion】 There were no significant differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients in the incidence of postoperative AKI, or rate of renal function recovery 12 months after surgery. The incidence of AKI significantly increased in diabetic patients with obesity, and the renal function recovery rate decreased one year after surgery. Gender and operation time were the independent risk factors of AKI.

Objective To investigate the changes of clinical indices in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with concomitant minimal hepatic steatosis and related factors for minimal hepatic steatosis. Methods A total of 179 CHB patients who underwent liver biopsy in Department of Infectious Diseases, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, from July 2018 to March 2022 were enrolled, and according to the degree of steatosis, they were divided into non-steatosis group with 98 patients and minimal hepatic steatosis group with 81 patients. Demographic information, clinical data, and liver histopathology data were collected, and related observation indices were compared between the two groups. The independent samples t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A Spearman correlation analysis was performed, and a Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for minimal hepatic steatosis. Results Compared with the non-steatosis group, the minimal hepatic steatosis group had a significantly higher proportion of male patients (69.1% vs 52.0%, χ 2 =5.390, P < 0.05) and a significantly higher proportion of patients with significant liver fibrosis (43.2% vs 25.5%, χ 2 =6.234, P < 0.05). Compared with the non-steatosis group, the minimal hepatic steatosis group had significantly higher levels of body mass index (BMI) (23.61±2.95 kg/m 2 vs 22.13±2.67 kg/m 2 , t =-4.150, P < 0.05), uric acid (UA) [333.0(291.0-375.5) μmol/L vs 287.5(244.8-345.3) μmol/L, Z =-3.620, P < 0.05], triglyceride [0.92 (0.66-1.14) μmol/L vs 0.77 (0.62-1.02) μmol/L, Z =-2.224, P < 0.05], and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) [234 (214-258) dB/m vs 218 (201-237) dB/m, Z =-2.867, P < 0.05]. In the group with normal body weight, the patients with minimal hepatic steatosis had significantly higher levels of UA (333.0±63.9 μmol/L vs 291.0±72.8 μmol/L, t =-2.395, P < 0.05) a nd HBV DNA [4.44 (3.51-6.79) log 10 IU/mL vs 3.42 (3.00-5.03) log 10 IU/mL, Z =-2.474, P < 0.05]. BMI (odds ratio [ OR ]=1.223, 95% confidence interval [ CI ] : 1.086-1.378, P =0.001) and UA ( OR =1.006, 95% CI : 1.002-1.010, P =0.008) were risk factors for minimal hepatic steatosis in CHB patients, and UA ( OR =1.007, 95% CI : 1.001-1.013, P =0.022) was a risk factors for minimal hepatic steatosis in CHB patients with normal body weight. Conclusion Compared with the non-steatosis CHB patients, the CHB patients with minimal hepatic steatosis have a significantly higher proportion of patients with significant liver fibrosis and a significantly higher level of CAP. BMI and UA are independent risk factors for minimal hepatic steatosis in CHB patients, and for the CHB patients with normal body weight, elevated UA is closely associated with the onset of minimal hepatic steatosis.
