In recent years, with the continuous development of in situ cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the research of structural biology has undergone a paradigm shift. Structural analysis is no longer confined to isolated and purified biomolecules, and determination of high-resolution in situ structures directly within cells and tissues becomes feasible. Furthermore, structural analysis of the molecular landscapes of subcellular regions can be performed to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of living activities in the native functional context. Through determining in situ structures of various protein complexes within the cell, it is feasible to visualize the proteome with spatial and quantitative information, which is often referred to as visual proteomics. Emerging in situ structural methods represented by cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) hold the promise to elucidate the three-dimensional interaction networks of the intracellular proteome and understand their activities in a systematic manner. To advance in situ cryo-EM/ET and visual proteomics in China, this review summarizes the new research paradigms and technological advances, showcases the superiority of new concepts and technologies with representative examples, and discusses the future prospects in the field.

Objective To investigate the effect of arthroscopic surgery on anterior ankle impingement syndrome.Method Arthroscopic surgery was performed on 42 patients with anterior ankle impingement syndrome admitted to the People's Hospital of Wuhan University from April 2016 to October 2021.The patients were followed up for 14 to 26 months.The visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate pain,and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society,AOFAS(Ankle and hind foot function scores)were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect and ankle joint function,and to compare the preoperative and postoperative changesResults The wounds of all patients were healed in stage I without infection,nerve,blood vessel or tendon injury.The AOFAS score was(45.52±6.64)before surgery,(76.33±6.52),(92.86±3.48)and(94.95±3.68)at 1 month,3 months and 14 months after surgery,respectively.The VAS score was(7.95±0.70)before surgery,(3.86±0.65),(1.83±0.79)and(1.24±0.96)at 1 month,3 months and 14 months after surgery,respectively.AOFAS scores and VAS scores at 1 month,3 months and 14 months after operation were significantly improved compared with those before operation,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05),there was significant improvement at 3 and 14 months after surgery compared with 1 month after surgery,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05),14 months after surgery was better than 3 months after surgery,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic surgery in the treatment of anterior ankle impingement syndrome,less trauma,quick recovery,good effect,can be effective in the treatment of ligamentous and osteochondral injury,mid-term follow-up effect is stable.

Objective:To investigate the effect of genetic polymorphism of MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) on methotrexate (MTX) related toxicity in pediatric mature B-cell lymphoma patients. Methods:Fifty-eight intermediate and high risk patients under 18 years of age with mature B-cell lymphoma who received 5 g/m2 MTX (24 h intravenous infusion) in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2014 to December 2021 were included,and their toxicity of high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) were monitored and analyzed. Results:Among the 58 pediatric patients,the number of CC,CT,and TT genotypes for MTHFR C677T was 33,19 and 6,respectively. A total of 101 courses of HD-MTX therapy were counted,of which plasma MTX level>0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-MTX infusion were observed in 35 courses,≤0.2 μmol/L in 66 courses. Inter-group comparison showed that plasma MTX level>0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-MTX infusion increased the risk of developing oral mucositis (P<0.05). Compared with wild-type (CC genotype),patients in the mutant group (CT+TT genotype) were more likely to develop myelosuppression,manifested as anemia,leucopenia,neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. However,plasma MTX level at 48 h was not associated with MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism. Conclusion:The risk of developing oral mucositis in children with mature B-cell lymphoma is associated with plasma MTX concentration. Polymorphism of MTHFR C677T gene is not related to plasma MTX concentration in children with mature B-cell lymphoma,but is related to grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ hematological toxicity.

Objective To explore the prediction of hospital indoor microbial concentration in air based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data and machine learning algorithms.Methods Four locations in a hospital were selected as monitoring sampling points from May 23 to June 5,2022.The"internet of things"sensor was used to monitor a variety of real-time air environment data.Air microbial concentration data collected at each point were matched,and the gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)was used to predict real-time indoor microbial concentra-tion in air.Five other common machine learning models were selected for comparison,including random forest(RF),decision tree(DT),k-nearest neighbor(KNN),linear regression(LR)and artificial neural network(ANN).The validity of the model was verified by the mean absolute error(MAE),root mean square error(RMSE)and mean absolute percentage error(MAPE).Results The MAPE value of GBDT model in the outpa-tient elevator room(point A),bronchoscopy room(point B),CT waiting area(point C),and nurses'station in the supply room(point D)were 22.49％,36.28％,29.34％,and 26.43％,respectively.The mean performance of the GBDT model was higher than that of other machine learning models at three sampling points and slightly lower than that of the ANN model at only one sampling point.The mean MAPE value of GBDT model at four sampling points was 28.64％,that is,the predicted value deviated from the actual value by 28.64％,indicating that GBDT model has good prediction results and the predicted value was within the available range.Conclusion The GBDT machine learning model based on real-time indoor air environment monitoring data can improve the prediction accuracy of in-door air microbial concentration in hospitals.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of reduced field-of-view DWI （r-FOV DWI） in quantitative assessment of axial spondyloarthritis. MethodsA total of 112 patients with chronic back pain or suspected axial spondyloarthritis receiving full field-of-view DWI （f-FOV DWI） and reduced field-of-view DWI （r-FOV DWI） from December 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled. Next， subjective image quality assessment （anatomical detail， artifacts， distortion， overall image quality） and objective image quality assessment including （signal to noise ratio and contrast to noise ratio） were conducted by two experienced radiologists. In addition， the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient （ADC） values of three groups （active group， inactive group， and control group） on the two DWI sequences were measured by the two radiologists， respectively. Finally， the consistency of measurement between the two researchers was evaluated and the differences in ADC values was compared. Results102 patients were included and were divided into three groups， including the active group （n=32）， inactive group （n=29）， and control group （n=41） according to ASAS diagnostic criteria. All subjective and objective image quality metrics were rated in favor of r-FOV DWI images compared with f-FOV DWI images ［overall image quality： DWI 4（3~4） vs. 3（3~3） and SNR： 6.58（5.05~10.38） vs. 4.46（2.37~10.04）， CNR： 2.04（-1.14~8.29） vs. 0.97（-8.19~7.12）；P＜0.05］. Inter-rater consistency of the two researchers were 0.60~0.74. According to the AUC curve， group inactive vs. control showed r-FOV DWI was better than f-FOV DWI. In other groups （lesion vs. control， active vs. inactive）， there were no differences between both sequences（P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe subjective image quality score and signal to noise ratio of r-FOV DWI were higher than those of f-FOV DWI， which could be used for quantitative assessment of axial spondyloarthritis.

Studies have investigated the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use on the incidence and clinical outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, the results have been inconsistent. We searched the PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from inception to March 2022; 13 studies covering 84 003 prostate cancer (PCa) patients with or without ADT met the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. We calculated the pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to explore the association between ADT use and the infection risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and severity of COVID-19. After synthesizing the evidence, the pooled RR in the SARS-CoV-2 positive group was equal to 1.17, and the SARS-CoV-2 positive risk in PCa patients using ADT was not significantly different from that in those not using ADT (P = 0.544). Moreover, no significant results concerning the beneficial effect of ADT on the rate of intensive care unit admission (RR = 1.04, P = 0.872) or death risk (RR = 1.23, P = 0.53) were found. However, PCa patients with a history of ADT use had a markedly higher COVID-19 hospitalization rate (RR = 1.31, P = 0.015) than those with no history of ADT use. These findings indicate that ADT use by PCa patients is associated with a high risk of hospitalization during infection with SARS-CoV-2. A large number of high quality studies are needed to confirm these results.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of high-dose dual therapy compared with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for treating Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection in servicemen patients. Methods: A total of 160 H. pylori-infected, treatment-naive servicemen, including 74 men and 86 women, aged from 20 years to 74 years, with a mean (SD) age of 43 (13) years, tested in the First Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2022 to May 2022 were enrolled in this open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups: the 14-day high-dose dual therapy group and the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group. Eradication rates, adverse events, patient compliance, and drug costs were compared between the two groups. The t-test was used for continuous variables, and the Chi-square test for categorical variables. Results: No significant difference in H. pylori eradication rates were found between high-dose dual therapy and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy by ITT, mITT and PP analysis[ITT:90.0% (95%CI 81.2%-95.6%) vs. 87.5% (95%CI 78.2%-93.8%), χ²=0.25, P=0.617;mITT:93.5% (95%CI 85.5%-97.9%) vs. 93.3% (95%CI 85.1%-97.8%), χ²<0.01, P=1.000; PP: 93.5% (95%CI 85.5%-97.9%) vs. 94.5% (95%CI 86.6%-98.5%), χ²<0.01, P=1.000 ]. The dual therapy group exhibited significantly less overall side effects compared with the quadruple therapy group [21.8% (17/78) vs. 38.5% (30/78), χ²=5.15,P=0.023]. There were no significant differences in the compliance rates between the two groups [98.7%(77/78) vs. 94.9%(74/78), χ²=0.83,P=0.363]. The cost of medications in the dual therapy was 32.0% lower compared with that in the quadruple therapy (472.10 RMB vs. 693.94 RMB). Conclusions: The dual regimen has a favorable effect on the eradication of H. pylori infection in servicemen patients. Based on the ITT analysis, the eradication rate of the dual regimen is grade B (90%, good). Additionally, it exhibited a lower incidence of adverse events, better compliance and significantly reduced cost. The dual regimen is expected to be a new choice for the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection in servicemen but needs further evaluation.

Objective: To analyze the efficacy and safety of letermovir in primary prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in patients receiving haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: This retrospective, cohort study was conducted using data of patients who underwent haploidentical transplantation at Peking University Institute of Hematology and received letermovir for primary prophylaxis between May 1, 2022 and August 30, 2022. The inclusion criteria of the letermovir group were as follows: letermovir initiation within 30 days after transplantation and continuation for≥90 days after transplantation. Patients who underwent haploidentical transplantation within the same time period but did not receive letermovir prophylaxis were selected in a 1∶4 ratio as controls. The main outcomes were the incidence of CMV infection and CMV disease after transplantation as well as the possible effects of letermovir on acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and bone marrow suppression. Categorical variables were analyzed by chi-square test, and continuous variables were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for evaluating incidence differences. Results: Seventeen patients were included in the letermovir prophylaxis group. The median patient age in the letermovir group was significantly greater than that in the control group (43 yr vs. 15 yr; Z=-4.28, P<0.001). The two groups showed no significant difference in sex distribution and primary diseases, etc. (all P>0.05). The proportion of CMV-seronegative donors was significantly higher in the letermovir prophylaxis group in comparison with the control group (8/17 vs. 0/68, χ²=35.32, P<0.001). Three out of the 17 patients in the letermovir group experienced CMV reactivation, which was significantly lower than the incidence of CMV reactivation in the control group (3/17 vs. 40/68, χ²=9.23, P=0.002), and no CMV disease development observed in the letermovir group. Letermovir showed no significant effects on platelet engraftment (P=0.105), aGVHD (P=0.348), and 100-day NRM (P=0.474). Conclusions: Preliminary data suggest that letermovir may effectively reduce the incidence of CMV infection after haploidentical transplantation without influencing aGVHD, NRM, and bone marrow suppression. Prospective randomized controlled studies are required to further verify these findings.
