S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCO) is a non-protein sulfur-containing amino acid with a variety of functions. There are few reports on the enzymes catalyzing the biosynthesis of SMCO from S-methyl-L-cysteine (SMC). In this study, the flavin-containing monooxygenase gene derived from Schizosaccharomyces pombe (spfmo) was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and the enzymatic properties of the expressed protein were analyzed. The optimum catalytic conditions of the recombinant SpFMO were 30 ℃ and pH 8.0, under which the enzyme activity reached 72.77 U/g. An appropriate amount of Mg²⁺ improved the enzyme activity. The enzyme kinetic analysis showed that the K_m and k_cat/K_m of SpFMO on the substrate SMC were 23.89 μmol/L and 61.71 L/(min·mmol), respectively. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the yield of SMCO synthesized from SMC catalyzed by SpFMO was 12.31% within 9 h. This study provides reference for the enzymatic synthesis of SMCO.

Objective:To explore the clinical application and triage management value of using blood circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) (cysteine dioxygenase type 1 gene, CDO1, and Homeobox protein A9 gene, HOXA9) hypermethylation level to detect and diagnose ovarian cancer.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on patients who went for surgery at Chengdu Womens and Childrens Central Hospital from November 2022 to October 2023. Blood samples were collected before surgery for evaluation of cancer antigen 125 (CA125), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) score, and DNA methylation testing. The basic clinical information, biomarkers, and transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) information were collected simultaneously. Information from a total of 151 patients was collected, including 122 cases with benign pathology and 29 ovarian cancer cases. The pathologic diagnosis of ovarian tissue was defined as the gold standard. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify high-risk factors for ovarian cancer. The clinical efficacy of DNA methylation detection for ovarian cancer was analyzed using the area under curve (AUC).Results:The results showed that the age, menopausal status, CA125 and HE4 detection, ROMA score, positivity rate of CDO1 gene and HOXA9 gene single or combined testing in ovarian cancer patients were higher than those in the benign group and showed significant differences ( P<0.05). Among these detection protocols, the AUC of CDO1 and HOXA9 dual gene methylation testing for ovarian cancer was the highest at 0.936 (95% CI, 0.878-0.994), with 89.7% (95% CI 73.6%-96.4%) sensitivity and 97.5% (95% CI 93.0%-99.2%) specificity, respectively. The positive detection rate of CDO1 and HOXA9 dual gene methylation in early ovarian cancer FOGO I-II stage is 12/14 higher than other tests. Conclusion:Blood cfDNA methylation detection, a simple, non-invasive, and highly sensitive detection method, is superior to the current ovarian cancer testing in the risk assessment and early detection.

Abstract: Objective　To genotype and analyze whole genomic features of Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) isolated in Tianjin, to improve evolution information of CVB3 virus in Tianjin, and to provide basis for surveillance and early warning of related diseases. Methods　Viral RNA was extracted from five CVB3 strains isolated in Tianjin, whole genome sequence of the virus was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced by next-generation sequencing method, and phylogenetic and recombinant analysis were carried out. Results　The open reading frame 1(ORF) of the five CVB3 strains contained 6 555 nucleotides and encoded 2 185 amino acids, and ORF2 was composed of sequences encoding 68 amino acids. The nucleotide sequence similarity ranged from 78.3%-100%, and the amino acid sequence similarity ranged from 95.7%-100%. Compared with the CVB3 prototype strain, the nucleotide sequence similarity of the five viruses was between 78.2%-79.1%, and the similarity of amino acid sequences was 94.9%-95.3%. All five viruses exhibited a T151A mutation on the VP2 protein. Additionally, the encephalitis isolate showed a K158E mutation on the VP2 protein, while one of the sewage isolates had a C234T mutation in 5' noncoding region. The five strains belonged to two different genotypes, among which the encephalitis isolate in 2016 belonged to the D genotype, while the sewage isolates in 2021 belonged to the E genotype. This is also the first report of E genotype CVB3 in northern China. The CVB3 strain may have recombinant events in non-structural protein regions, in which encephalitis isolate may recombine with a Coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) strain, while sewage isolates may have recombinant events with a strain of ECHO virus 18 (E18). Conclusions　The CVB3 isolates in Tianjin belong to D and E genotypes, and recombination events may exist in non-structural protein region of the viral genome. The results of CVB3 virus genome analysis in sewage suggests presence of CVB3 infection in the population of Tianjin, and its epidemic dominant genotype may have changed.

The average annual incidence rates of viral hepatitis were 98.24/105 and 78.94/105 among men and women, which both appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=12.415% and 12.581%, both P<0.05). The highest average annual incidence of viral hepatitis was seen among residents at age of 25 to 29 years (139.89/105), with the lowest seen among residents at ages of 0 to 4 years (11.38/105), and the average annual incidence of viral hepatitis appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (P<0.05). The highest average annual incidence of viral hepatitis was seen in Huaning County (234.24/105), with the lowest seen in Chengjiang City (26.11/105), and the average annual incidence appeared a tendency towards a rise in Xinping County from 2004 to 2022 (AAPC=21.451%, P<0.05). Conclusions The reported incidence of viral hepatitis appeared a tendency towards a rise in Yuxi City from 2004 to 2022, with hepatitis B as the main type. High incidence was seen among men and adolescents. The viral hepatitis control strategy requires to be adjusted with adaptations to high-incidence hepatitis subgroups, residents and regions.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of Octreotide plus Ulinastatin in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)in elderly patients.Methods:From May 2016 to February 2019, 124 elderly SAP patients admitted to the gastroenterology department of our hospital were enrolled and divided into the combination therapy group and the control group, with 62 patients in each group.The combination therapy group was treated with Octreotide and Ulinastatin, while the control group was treated with Octreotide alone.Serum leukocyte count, C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukin(IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and amylase levels were monitored before and 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after treatment by automated biochemical analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.The pain grade scale, APACHE-Ⅱ score and efficacy evaluation were analyzed for the two groups 7 days after treatment.The time to oral refeeding and length of hospitalization were compared between the two groups, and related complications during the treatment were recorded.Complications and the recurrence of pancreatitis within 1 year were followed up in both groups.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in serum white blood cell count, CRP, amylase, IL-6 and TNF-α levels between the two groups before treatment(all P>0.05). Serum white blood cell count, CRP and TNF-α levels had significant differences( t=3.735, 2.851 and -2.147, P=0.036, 0.029 and 0.043)and serum amylase and IL-6 levels had no significant difference( P>0.05)between the two groups 3 days after treatment.All the above parameters had significant differences between the two groups 7 days after treatment( t=3.624, 2.918, -2.166, 2.684 and -2.593, P=0.023, 0.011, <0.001, 0.015 and <0.001). Serum amylase, IL-6 and TNF-α levels had significant differences( t=-3.515, 4.627 and -3.189, all P<0.001)and serum white blood cell count and CRP had no significant difference(all P>0.05)between the two groups 14 days after treatment.There were significant differences in visual analogue scale(VAS)and APACHE-Ⅱ score between the two groups 7 days after treatment( t=-2.346 and -3.245, P=0.021 and 0.002). On the 7th day after treatment, the effectiveness rate was 79.0%(49/62)in the combination therapy group and 61.3%(38/62)in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups( χ2=4.661, P=0.031). Compared with the control group, time to oral refeeding and hospitalization length were shorter in the combination therapy group than in the control group(6.72±1.87 d vs.7.65±1.69 d, 11.23±2.98 d vs.13.85±3.42 d, t=-2.868 and -4.565, both P<0.05). There were significant differences in the incidences of infectious pancreatic necrosis, gastrointestinal adverse reactions and organ failure between the combination therapy group and the control group(11.3% or 7/62 vs.25.8% or 16/62, 43.5% or 27/62 vs.21.0% or 13/62, 1.6% or 1/62 vs.11.3% or 7/62, χ2=4.324, 7.233 and 4.810, P=0.038, 0.007 and 0.028). There were significant differences in mean length of time without complications and recurrence between the combined group and the control group(10.25±3.26 months vs.8.72±3.73 months, 10.69±2.51 months vs.9.62±2.92 months, Log Rank χ2=7.463 and 4.589, P=0.006 and 0.032).
