    Abstract A zoonotic coronavirus, tentatively labeled as 2019-nCoV by the World Health Organization (WHO), has been identified as the causative agent of the viral pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. Although 2019-nCoV can cause a severe respiratory illness like SARS and MERS, evidence from clinics suggested that 2019-nCoV is generally less pathogenic than SARS-CoV, and much less than MERS-CoV. The transmissibility of 2019-nCoV is still debated and needs to be further assessed. To avoid the 2019-nCoV outbreak turning into an epidemic or even a pandemic and to minimize the mortality rate, China activated emergency response procedures, but much remains to be learned about the features of the virus to refine the risk assessment and response. Here, the current knowledge in 2019-nCoV pathogenicity and transmissibility is summarized in comparison with several commonly known emerging viruses, and information urgently needed for a better control of the disease is highlighted.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of arthroscopic triple release combined with rotator cuff repair in the treatment of rotator cuff injury combined with frozen shoulder and its influence on the range of motion and pain score of shoulder joint, and the levels of serum pain mediators.
    Methods: This was prospective study. A total of 132 patients with rotator cuff injury combined with frozen shoulder admitted to The Third Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method: control group (n=67) and observation group (n=65). Patients in the control group were treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair alone, while those in the observation group were treated with arthroscopic triple release combined with rotator cuff repair, and the surgical effects of the two groups were compared.
    Results: Three months after treatment, the external rotation, internal rotation, abduction, forward flexion, β-endorphin(β-EP), prostagranin E2 (PGE2) and substance P(SP)in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the weight-bearing strength of the affected limb in internal rotation, external rotation and forward flexion was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). Meanwhile, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group at one month and three months after treatment, while the University of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA) score and Constant-Murley Score (CMS) were higher than those of the control group (P< 0.05).
    Conclusion: Arthroscopic triple release combined with rotator cuff repair improves various effects for patients with rotator cuff injury combined with frozen shoulder, such as ameliorating the muscle strength of the affected limb and improving the level of pain mediators.

    Abstract Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major health burden worldwide for which there is still no effective curative treatment. Interferon (IFN) consists of a group of cytokines with antiviral activity and immunoregulatory and antitumor effects, that play crucial roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. IFN-α and its pegylated form have been used for over thirty years to treat chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with advantages of finite treatment duration and sustained virologic response, however, the efficacy is limited and side effects are common. Here, we summarize the status and unique advantages of IFN therapy against CHB, review the mechanisms of IFN-α action and factors affecting IFN response, and discuss the possible improvement of IFN-based therapy and the rationale of combinations with other antiviral agents in seeking an HBV cure.

    Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can cause chronic hepatitis B, has sophisticated machinery to establish persistent infection. Here, we report a novel mechanism whereby HBV changed miRNA packaging into extracellular vesicles (EVs) to facilitate replication. Disruption of the miRNA machinery in hepatocytes enhanced HBV replication, indicating an intrinsic miRNA-mediated antiviral state. Interference with EV release only decreased HBV replication if there was normal miRNA biogenesis, suggesting a possible link between HBV replication and EV-associated miRNAs. Microarray and qPCR analyses revealed that HBV replication changed miRNA expression in EVs. EV incubation, transfection of miRNA mimics and inhibitors, and functional pathway and network analyses showed that EV miRNAs are associated with antiviral function, suggesting that to promote survival HBV coopts EVs to excrete anti-HBV intracellular miRNAs. These data suggest a novel mechanism by which HBV maintains its replication, which has therapeutic implications.

    Abstract Background: Discordance between the anatomy and physiology of the coronary has important implications for managing patients with stable coronary disease, but its significance in ST-elevation myocardial infarction has not been fully elucidated.
    Methods: The retrospective study involved patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), along with quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR) assessments. Patients were stratified into four groups regarding the severity of the culprit vessel, both visually and functionally: concordantly negative (QCA-diameter stenosis [DS] ≤ 50% and QFR > 0.80), mismatch (QCA-DS > 50% and QFR > 0.80), reverse mismatch (QCA-DS ≤ 50% and QFR ≤ 0.80), and concordantly positive (QCA-DS > 50% and QFR ≤ 0.80). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the clinical factors linked to visual-functional mismatches. Kaplan‒Meier analysis was conducted to estimate the 18-month adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)-free survival between the four groups.
    Results: The study involved 310 patients, with 68 presenting visual-functional mismatch, and 51 exhibiting reverse mismatch. The mismatch was associated with higher angiography-derived microcirculatory resistance (AMR) (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.016, 95% CI: 1.010-1.022, P<0.001). Reverse mismatch was associated with larger area stenosis (aOR=1.044, 95% CI: 1.004-1.086, P=0.032), lower coronary flow velocity (aOR=0.690, 95% CI: 0.567-0.970, P<0.001) and lower AMR (aOR=0.947, 95% CI: 0.924-0.970, P<0.001). Additionally, the mismatch group showed the worst 18-month MACE-free survival among the four groups (Log rank test p = 0.013).
    Conclusion: AMR plays a significant role in the occurrence of visual-functional mismatches between QCA-DS and QFR, and the mismatch group showed the worst prognosis.

    Abstract Hintergrund: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) ist eines der häufigsten dermalen Sarkome, kommt aber im Gesicht nur selten vor.
    Patienten und methoden: Die klinisch-pathologischen Charakteristika von insgesamt 34 fazialen DFSP wurden näher untersucht. Hierzu wurden zusätzlich eine Immunmarkierung (CD34) sowie eine PDGFB/COL1A1-PDGFB Fluoreszenz-in situ-Hybridisierung (FISH) durchgeführt.
    Ergebnisse: Die untersuchten Patienten waren zwischen 24 und 64 Jahre alt (im Mittel 42,9 Jahre), das Verhältnis Mäner zu Frauen betrug 4,7 : 1. Morphologisch fanden sich "klassische" DFSP (25/34; 73,5 %), pigmentierte DFSP (2/34; 5,9 %), DFSP mit myoider Differenzierung (1/34; 2,9 %) und fibrosarkomatös transformierte DFSP (DFSP-FS) (6/34; 17,6 %). Zusätzlich zeigte sich bei drei Fällen mit DFSP-FS eine myxoide Degeneration (3/6; 50,0 %). In allen 29 Fällen mit CD34-Immunhistochemie-Untersuchung fand sich eine positive Anfärbung (100 %). In der genetischen Untersuchung wiesen 94,1 % (16/17) der Patienten eine PDGFB-Rearrangement/COL1A1-PDGFB-Fusion auf. Die Raten an Rezidiven (83,3 % vs. 59,1 %) und Metastasierung (33,3 % vs. 0) lagen bei den DFSP-FS deutlich höher als bei den gewöhnlichen DFSP. In allen Fällen von Rezidiven waren die Schnittränder vorher als positiv eingestuft worden. Umgekehrt waren alle Patienten mit negativen Schnitträndern (bei der Exzision oder Re-Exzision) noch am Leben, ohne weitere Krankheitszeichen aufzuweisen (Mittel 81,8 Monate, Median 81 Monate).
    Schlussfolgerung: DFSP tritt vor allem bei Männern auf. Bei DFSP-FS besteht eine höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit für myxoide Degeneration bei insgesamt schlechterer Prognose. Ein negativer Status der chirurgischen Schnittränder zeigte eine gute Prognose an.
