Genomic annotation and molecular evolution of monkeypox virus outbreak in 2022

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has generally circulated in West and Central Africa since its emergence. Recently, sporadic MPXV infections in several nonendemic countries have attracted widespread attention. Here, we conducted a systematic analysis of the recent outbreak of MPXV-2022, including its genomic annotation and molecular evolution. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that the MPXV-2022 strains belong to the same lineage of the MPXV strain isolated in 2018. However, compared with the MPXV strain in 2018, in total 46 new consensus mutations were observed in the MPXV-2022 strains, including 24 nonsynonymous mutations. By assigning mutations to 187 proteins encoded by the MPXV genome, we found that 10 proteins in the MPXV are more prone to mutation, including D2L-like, OPG023, OPG047, OPG071, OPG105, OPG109, A27L-like, OPG153, OPG188, and OPG210 proteins. In the MPXV-2022 strains, four and three nucleotide substitutions are observed in OPG105 and OPG210, respectively. Overall, our studies illustrated the genome evolution of the ongoing MPXV outbreak and pointed out novel mutations as a reference for further studies.     

THE OPERATIVE TREATMENT OF SPINAL FRACTURE-DISLOCATION WITHOUT NEUROLOGIC DEFICITS

Objective. To evaluate the results of operative treatment of spinal fracture-dislocation without neumlogic deficits. Metods. Eighteen patients with spinal fracture-dislocation were neurologically intact at the time of injury, and all were treated operatively. The fracture sites were:8 cases in cervical spine, 3 cases in thoracic spine, and 7 cases in lumbar spine. Eight patients with cervical injuries had variant degrees of forward slide and kyphotic deformity. Of the 10 thoracic and lumbar fractures, one had lateral dislocation, 4 cases with kyphotic deformities, 5 cases withspinal canal compromise averaged 50% (ranging from 40% to 70% ).Results. The aveiage period of follow-up was 4.4 years with a range of 11 months to 13 years. All the patients returned to full-time work. No patient developed neurologic deterioration. Kyphotic deformity was corrected in the 4 cases, and no progressive kyphosis was noted. There was no operation-related complication. The averaged post-opera-five hospitalization time was 13 days. Conclusions. Despite the rare incidence of spinal fracture-dislocation without neurologic deficits, we suggested that kind of fracture be considered unstable fracture because of its potential risk of delayed neurologic deterioration and kyphotic deformity, and be treated operatively to restore the sagittal alignment and the stability of the spine.     

Child and parent psychological problems influence child weight control

This study used path analytic methods to assess the influence of child psychopathology measured using the Child Behavior Checklist and parent psychiatric symptoms measured using the Cornell Medical Index on changes in child percent overweight in obese 8- to 11-year-old children over 2 years (6 months of treatment, 18 months of follow-up) provided family-based behavioral intervention. Path analysis for the 0-6 month change showed the influence of mother and father psychiatric symptoms and child age on child anxiety/depression scores that in turn influenced child percent overweight change during treatment, accounting for 41% of the shared variance. The path analysis for follow-up change showed mother and father psychiatric symptoms influenced child social problems at the first stage, and child social problems influenced child percent overweight change, accounting for 68.5% of the shared variance. These results provide the first demonstration that both parent and child problems may influence the short- and long-term success of obese children who participate in family-based behavioral treatment programs.

Preliminary study on HA coating percutaneously implanted in bone

A comparative investigation on the possibility of hydroxyapatite (HA) coating and pure Ti column to form biological sealing with skin tissue was completed in this study. HA coating and pure Ti column were percutaneously implanted in the tibia of rabbits. Compared with titanium (Ti) implant, HA coating forms epithelial sealing with skin tissue at 6 weeks postoperatively, while the Ti implant may loosen from the implanted site and be lost. The Ti column loosing rate at this time was 50%. However, once the Ti implant becomes fixed with the bone tissue, it can form epithelial sealing with skin tissue just like the HA coating, at 8 weeks postoperatively. At 8 weeks postoperatively, the epithelial sealing is not destroyed in spite of the fact that the HA coating is biodegraded. Our results show that the HA coating can become fixed with the bone faster than the Ti, which is beneficial for epithelial sealing formation. The main role of HA coating for epithelial sealing is beneficial for sealing at the initial period after it is implanted.     

A single-incision technique to harvest subepithelial connective tissue grafts from the palate

This article describes a new and simplified surgical approach to harvest subepithelial connective tissue grafts from the palate. For this procedure, only a single incision parallel to the gingival margin is used to access the donor site for graft preparation and harvesting. Grafts of variable size and thickness can be obtained. Since no band of epithelium is removed with the connective tissue graft the palatal donor site can heal with primary intention. No stents or hemostatic agents are necessary to cover the donor area postoperatively, and suturing can be reduced to a minimum. The harvesting technique is illustrated step by step, and the clinical application of connective tissue grafts harvested with the proposed method is demonstrated with the coverage of a gingival recession.

Medium-term results of heart transplantation using donors over 63 years of age

BACKGROUND: The continual shortage of hearts for transplantation (HTx) led to the expansion of the donor pool by accepting older donors. We compared the medium-term follow-up of patients after HTx with older hearts (over the age of 63 years) with those of patients after HTx with younger hearts. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Since April 1994 we have used hearts for HTx from donors older than the age of 63 years. Until November 1998, 309 HTx and 9 re-HTx were performed in 309 adults with a mean age of 50.7+/-10.9 years (range 17-68 years). There were 252 men and 57 women. The patients were divided into two groups: group I--donor age under 63 years (296 patients, mean age 50.4+/-11 years; mean donor age 38.1+/-13 years; mean follow-up 1.7+/-1.6 years); group II-donor age of more than 63 years (13 patients, mean age 57.4+/-5.6 years; mean donor age 65.1+/-2.1; mean follow-up 2.2+/-1.6 years). There were no differences in the etiology of heart failure, gender, or ischemia time between the groups. The patients in group II were significantly older (P = 0.008). Multiple factors were analyzed in the groups, which included changes in the left/right ventricle ejection fraction, early postoperative mortality (up to 30 days), cumulative survival rates and cardiac-dependent morbidity [myocardial infarction, malignant arrhythmias, coronary stenosis (>50% in one of the main coronary arteries) and transplant vasculopathy]. Additionally, freedom from cytomegalovirus infection (rise of titer or seroconversion) and freedom of acute rejection episodes grade > or =2 (International Society of Heart & Lung Transplantation [ISHLT]) were analyzed. RESULTS: After 1 year mean left and right ventricle ejection fraction were good in both groups and did not significantly change for up to 2 years. No Re-HTx was performed in group II. The early postoperative mortality was similar in both groups (P = 0.8). Also, the cumulative survival rates were similar in both groups (P = 0.87). Long-term cardiac morbidity was lower in group I (P = 0.03). The long-term freedom from cytomegalovirus infection in group I was significantly higher when compared with group II (P = 0.0002). The long-term freedom from severe rejection episodes was similar in both groups (P = 0.3) CONCLUSION: The study found a significant increase in long-term cardiac morbidity due to more focal coronary stenosis in group II, and freedom from cytomegalovirus infection, but did not find significant differences in the long-term survival between patients who received hearts from donors of up to 63 years of age and from those more than 63 years. The acceptance of donors older than 63 years old for HTx does not worsen the outcome of the recipients. The careful selection of older donors, with close monitoring of the coronary situation after HTx and expanded indications for revascularization of older hearts, could make HTx with older hearts, even in older recipients, a safe option.
