【Objective】 To analyze the current situation of human parvovirus B19 infection in blood donors in different regions of China, so as to provide basis for formulating reasonable screening programs of B19 virus for blood donors in various cities and regions. 【Methods】 The literatures related to human parvovirus B19 infection in whole blood and plasma donors published from 1998 to 2021 were searched in the database, and meta-analysis of literatures that satisfied the inclusion criteria was conducted by R4.1.0 software. 【Results】 A total of 35 literatures were obtained, 20 literatures involving 56 846 blood donor samples and 8 literatures involving 1 608 pooled raw plasma samples were subjected to Meta analysis of the positive rates of B19 DNA; 17 literatures involving 12 308 blood sample were subjected to the Meta analysis of the positive rate of B19 IgG antibody.The positive rates of B19 DNA in blood donors(I2=96%, τ2=0.026 0, P<0.01)and pooled raw plasma (I2=98%, τ2=0.124 5, P<0.01), as well as the positive rate of B19 IgG antibod (I2=98%, τ 2 =0.021 0, P < 0.01) presented significant heterogeneity between regions. The combined positive rate of B19 DNA was estimated to be 2.0% (95%-CI: 0.007~0.039), that of pooled raw plasma for production was 66.6% (95%-CI: 0.476~0.832), and that of B19 IgG antibody was 30.2% (95%-CI: 0.246~0.357). 【Conclusion】 Low HPV B19 infection rate and high positive rate of IgG antibody were found in blood donors. Therefore, the risk of B19 virus infection due to blood transfusion is low, but B19 infections in blood donors varied significantly between regions. Domestic cities and regions should reasonably evaluate their own B19 virus infection status to formulate appropriate B19 virus screening programs for blood donors, so as to reduce blood transfusion transmitted risk of B19 virus. In addition, the infection rate of B19 virus in pooled plasma for production is somewhat high. Recipients should be screened for B19 virus antibodies, and appropriate blood transfusion schemes should be formulated for blood recipients lacking neutralizing B19 IgG antibodies to reduce the exposure of B19 virus.

Imbalance of calcium homeostasis and abnormal autophagy are important pathogenesis mechanisms for neurodegenerative diseases, as PD, AD, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); and correlation is noted between imbalance of calcium homeostasis and abnormal autophagy. A number of studies have reported that different calcium storage compartments of cells can affect autophagy via calcium channels or Ca 2+-related signal proteins, such as cytoplasm calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1 (Orai1) and transient receptor potential canonical channel (TRPC), endoplasmic reticulum calcium channel inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3R), mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) related to Ca 2+ uptake, lysosomal calcium channel transient receptor potential channel mucolipin 1(TRPML1) and two-pore channels, cytoplasmic Ca 2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase β (CaMKKβ)/AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK) pathway. This review summarizes the research progress on autophagy regulated by Ca 2+ in intracellular calcium storage compartments and cytoplasm in neurodegenerative diseases, with a view to further understand the pathogenesis of these diseases.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegeneration, and its pathogenesis is related to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and calcium homeostasis imbalance. In recent years, the relationship between Parkinson's disease and Ca 2+ has become a research hotspot. Calcium homeostasis disorders can lead to Parkinson's disease in different ways. The level of intracellular calcium ion depends on store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), calcium release-activated calcium modulator1 (Orai1), stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) can form a functional complex to regulate it. PD neurotoxins can selectively damage dopaminergic neurons by reducing the function of Orai1-STIM1-TRPC1 complex and damaging SOCE and its downstream signal pathways. And the complex may affect the development of Parkinson's disease by acting on microglia and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and then regulate neuroinflammation and autophagy. Therefore, restoring the expression and function of Orai1-STIM1-TRPC1 function complex and maintaining calcium homeostasis may be the therapeutic targets of Parkinson's disease.

Objective:To explore the effects and mechanisms of polycaprolactone-cellulose acetate (PCL-CA) nanofiber scaffold loaded with rat epidermal stem cells (ESCs) on wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in rats.Methods:The experiment research method was applied. The primary ESCs were isolated from 1-3 d old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (undefined gender) by rapid adherent method and cultured by rapid adherent method. ESCs of the first passage were used for the subsequent experiments after the positive expressions of integrin β 1 and cytokeratin 19 (CK19) in primary cells were identified respectively by flow cytometey and immunofluorescence method. PCL-CA nanofiber scaffolds with polycaprolactone and cellulose acetate as components were prepared by electrospinning technique. The topological structure of the nanofiber scaffolds was determined and the diameter of 25 fibers was measured by scanning electron microscope. The constructed PCL-CA nanofiber scaffolds were used as the culture substrate for ESCs, which were cultured in keratinocytes (KCs) medium to construct ESCs-nanofiber scaffold complex (hereinafter referred to as ESCs scaffold). After 3 days of culture, the morphology of ESCs in the scaffold and their relationship was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The ESCs in ESCs scaffold were set as PCL-CA nanofiber scaffold group, and the ESCs cultured with KCs medium in culture dishes coated with type Ⅳ collagen were set as type Ⅳ collagen group. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression level of CK19 in ESCs in the two groups after 3 days of culture ( n=3). The protein expressions of CK19 and proliferating nuclear antigen (PCNA) in ESCs in the two groups were detected by immunofluorescence method after 7 days of culture. A circular full-thickness skin wound of about 2 cm in diameter was prepared on both left and right sides of the back of 15 male SD rats aged 6-8 weeks. The rats were then equally divided into blank control group without implantation, scaffold alone group implanted with PCL-CA nanofiber scaffold, and ESCs scaffold group implanted with ESCs scaffold which were constructed after 3 days of culture according to the random number table. The percentage of wound areas on post injury day (PID) 3, 7, 14, and 21 was calculated ( n=5). The new skin tissue at the wound edge was collected on PID 21, the wound healing quality was evaluated by Masson staining, and the protein expression levels of Notch1, Jagged1, and Hes1, which are key proteins of Notch signaling pathway, were detected by Western blotting ( n=3). Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, independent sample t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results:The constructed PCL-CA nanofiber scaffolds had a porous, mesh-like, and multilayered three-dimensional structure, in which the surface of the fibers was smooth and non-porous, and the fiber diameter was (383±24) nm. The ESCs in ESCs scaffold showed intact cellular structures and were tightly attached to the scaffold after 3 days of culture. The cells were interconnected and fully extended on the surface of the scaffold to form a membrane. After 3 days of culture, the protein expression level of CK19 of ESCs in PCL-CA nanofiber scaffold group was significantly higher than that in type Ⅳ collagen group ( t=24.56, P<0.01). After 7 days of culture, compared with those in type Ⅳ collagen group, there was no significant change in the proportion of PCNA positive cells of ESCs in PCL-CA nanofiber scaffold group, while the proportion of CK19 positive cells was higher. On PID 3, 7, 14, and 21, the percentages of wound areas of rats in ESCs scaffold group were (78.0±1.8)%, (40.9±2.0)%, (17.9±1.1)%, and (5.0±1.0)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (84.2±1.9)%, (45.4±2.6)%, (21.8±1.7)%, and (10.1±1.1)% in blank control group ( t=5.42, 3.09, 4.33, 7.58, P<0.05 or P<0.01) and (82.7±1.2)%, (44.8±2.0)%, (22.4±2.4)%, and (10.3±2.4)% in scaffold alone group ( t=4.98, 3.11, 3.84, 4.57, P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the percentages of wound areas of rats between blank control group and scaffold alone group were similar ( t=1.47, 0.39, 0.47, 0.22, P>0.05). On PID 21, the layer of new skin at the wound edge of rats in each group was intact; compared with that in blank control group or scaffold alone group, the new skin tissue at the wound edge of rats in ESCs scaffold group had more orderly collagen arrangement; the scaffolds in the new skin at the wound edge of rats were completely degraded in ESCs scaffold group and scaffold alone group. On PID 21, the protein expression levels of Notch1, Jagged1, and Hes1 in the new skin tissue at the wound edge of rats in scaffold alone group were similar to those in blank control group ( t=1.70, 1.94, 0.18, P>0.05), while the protein expression levels of Notch1, Jagged1, and Hes1 in the new skin tissue at the wound edge of rats in ESCs scaffold group were significantly higher than those in scaffold alone group ( t=13.31, 22.07, 20.71, P<0.01). Conclusions:PCL-CA nanofiber scaffolds can inhibit the differentiation of ESCs of rats without affecting their proliferation in vitro. ESCs scaffolds constructed through using PCL-CA nanofiber scaffolds as the carrier to culture ESCs of rats can significantly promote the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in rats, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of Notch signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between 131I uptake and therapeutic efficacy in metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Methods:The clinical data of 138 patients with metastatic DTC (42 males, 96 females, age range: 8-74 years) treated with 131I in nuclear medicine departments of 31 centers all over China were retrospectively analyzed. The lesional 131I uptake was quantitatively analyzed with target-to-nontarget (T/NT) ratio through the regions of interest in metastatic lesions confirmed by either planar or tomographic 131I SPECT/CT imaging. The efficacies of 131I treatment on the metastatic DTC were divided into complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD) and progress disease (PD) based on the change of the lesion diameter before and after the treatment. Factors which may affect therapeutic efficacy were assessed by the univariate (Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, χ2 test and one-way analysis of variance) and binary logistic regression analyses. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of lesional T/NT ratio to predict the ineffectiveness of 131I therapy was performed. Results:A total of 1 165 efficacies were evaluated. The planar imaging results ( n=653) showed that there was no statistically significant difference of T/NT ratio among CR, PR, SD and PD groups ( χ2=4.15, P>0.05). The tomographic imaging results ( n=512) suggested CR, PR, SD and PD in 7.6%(39/512), 65.8%(337/512), 22.9%(117/512), and 3.7%(19/512) of individuals, respectively, and the T/NT ratio among the four groups was significantly different ( χ2=30.46, P<0.01). The univariate analysis also showed that age, stimulated thyroglobulin(sTg), 131I dose were the factors affecting therapeutic efficacy ( F or χ2 values: 2.561, 7.095 and 8.799, all P<0.05). Furthermore, binary logistic regression analysis revealed that older patients (odds ratio ( OR)=1.034, P=0.022) or patients with lower lesional T/NT ( OR=1.086, P=0.006) had a higher probability of ineffectiveness. The area under ROC curve for T/NT ratio to predict ineffectiveness was 0.726, and the cut-off value was 6.2, with a sensitivity of 78.7%(107/136) and a specificity of 73.1%(275/376). Conclusions:131I therapy is an effective treatment for metastatic DTC. The age at the time of metastatic diagnosis and the lesional T/NT ratio are independent influential factors for ineffectiveness of 131I therapy. When the leisonal T/NT ratio is lower than 6.2, the inefficiency of 131I is higher.
