Objective To analyze the status and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in permanent residents in a certain area. Methods The clinical data of 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects underwent 13C-urea breath test，and relevant general information was collected to analyze Hp infection status. According to whether Hp infection occurred, they were divided into positive group (n=4 283) and negative group (n=2 509). The differences in general information, living habits, and dietary habits between the two groups of subjects were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted. Results Among the 6 792 permanent residents surveyed from January 2021 to December 2023, 4283 were positive for 13C-urea breath test, accounting for 63.05% of the total. There were statistically significant differences in age distribution, gender, BMI, tableware cleaning, personal hygiene products use, chopsticks use, and raw food and vegetable cleaning between the positive group and the negative group (P<0.05). The single factors of Hp infection were substituted into multivariate logistic regression analysis equation, and it was found that age ≥45 years old, male, BMI≥24, no use of detergents to clean utensils, sharing personal hygiene products, not using public chopsticks, having a habit of eating raw food, and not cleaning vegetables before eating were independent risk factors for Hp infection. Conclusion The positive rate of Hp infection in this area is relatively high, and the infection factors are related to age, gender, and some lifestyle and dietary habits.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and outcomes of recompensation in patients with autoimmune hepatitis （AIH）-related decompensated cirrhosis， to identify independent predictive factors， and to construct a nomogram prediction model for the probability of recompensation. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted among the adult patients with AIH-related decompensated cirrhosis who were admitted to The Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to August 2023 （n=211）. The primary endpoint was achievement of recompensation， and the secondary endpoint was liver-related death or liver transplantation. According to the outcome of the patients at the end of the follow-up， the patients were divided into the recompensation group （n=16） and the persistent decompensation group（n=150）.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance， and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data with heterogeneity of variance； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis； the Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to identify independent predictive factors， and a nomogram model was constructed and validated. ResultsA total of 211 patients were enrolled， with a median age of 55.0 years and a median follow-up time of 44.0 months， and female patients accounted for 87.2%. Among the 211 patients， 61 （with a cumulative proportion of 35.5%） achieved recompensation. Compared with the persistent decompensation group， the recompensation group had significantly higher white blood cell count， platelet count （PLT）， total bilirubin （TBil）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， total bile acid， prothrombin time， international normalized ratio （INR）， SMA positive rate， Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD） score， Child-Pugh score， and rate of use of glucocorticoids （all P0.05）， as well as significantly lower age at baseline， number of complications， and death/liver transplantation rate （all P0.05）. At 3 and 12 months after treatment， the recompensation group had continuous improvements in AST， TBil， INR， IgG， MELD score， and Child-Pugh score， which were significantly lower than the values in the persistent decompensation group （all P0.05）， alongside with continuous increases in PLT and albumin， which were significantly higher than the values in the persistent decompensation group （P0.05）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline ALT （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.067， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.010 — 1.127， P=0.021）， IgG （HR=0.463，95%CI：0.258 — 0.833， P=0.010）， SMA positivity （HR=3.122，95%CI：1.768 — 5.515， P0.001）， and glucocorticoid therapy （HR=20.651，95%CI：8.744 — 48.770， P0.001） were independent predictive factors for recompensation， and the nomogram model based on these predictive factors showed excellent predictive performance （C-index=0.87，95%CI：0.84 — 0.90）. ConclusionAchieving recompensation significantly improves clinical outcomes in patients with AIH-related decompensated cirrhosis. Baseline SMA positivity， a high level of ALT， a low level of IgG， and corticosteroid therapy are independent predictive factors for recompensation. The predictive model constructed based on these factors can provide a basis for decision-making in individualized clinical management.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To explore the application of nurse-performed point-of-care ultrasound in abdominal distension of ICU patients with enteral nutrition.Methods Purposive sampling method was used to select 108 patients with enteral nutrition abdominal distension admitted to the ICU of a tertiary A general hospital in Hefei City from January to December 2022,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to random number table method.The experimental group used bedside ultrasound to evaluate the stomach,intestine and abdominal cavity of patients with abdominal distension,and implemented targeted treatment measures according to the evaluation results.The control group was given corresponding treatment measures according to the abdominal sight,touch,tapping,listening and traditional syringe withdrawal method.Intra-abdominal pressure,abdominal circumference,feeding compliance rate and feeding interruption rate,ICU stay time and mechanical ventilation time were compared at the 1st,3rd and 5th day.Results 11 cases dropped out of the study due to transfer,automatic discharge,death,etc.,and 97 cases were included 51 cases in the experimental group and 46 cases in the control group.Repeated measurement ANOVA showed that intra-abdominal pressure and abdominal circumference time in the 2 groups had interaction with each other(F=41.724,P＜0.001;F=17.762,P＜0.001).Generalised estimating equations showed that there was only a between-group effect for the rates of feeding compliance and feeding disruption in 2 groups(Wald y2=18.033,P＜0.001;Wald x2=6.567,P＜0.001).Simple effect analysis showed that on the 3rd and 5th day after intervention.The experimental group had lower abdominal depression and the feeding interruption rate was lower than the control group(P＜0.05).On the 5th day after interven-tion,the abdominal circumference of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,the feeding compliance rate was higher than that of control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,in the experimental group,the mechanical ventilation time was shorter than that of the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in ICU stay time between the 2 groups(P=0.095).Conclusion The application of nurse-performed point-of-care ultrasound in the management of abdominal distension in patients with enteral nutrition in ICU is feasible and scientific,which is helpful for the management of patients with enteral nutrition abdominal distension in ICU,reducing internal abdominal pressure,shortening mechanical ventilation time,and avoiding the occurrence of feeding intolerance.

Objective:To explore the impact of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) on brain component volume, as well as its relationship with depression and cognitive function changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Method:It was a cross-sectional observational study. Clinical data of 119 patients under maintenance hemodialysis in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to July 2014 were collected, retrospectively. Patients were divided into IDH group and non-IDH group. 3.0T Magnetic resonance imaging examination of the head for all patients was completed and the results of volume analysis of each component of the brain were extracted. Cognitive function was assessed by the Chinese version of the simplified mental state examination scale (C-MMSE) and the Chinese version of the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (C-MoCA). Depressive status was assessed by the Hamilton depression scale 17 (HAMD_17) and living ability was assessed by the Alzheimer's disease collaborative study-daily living ability assessment questionnaire. In addition, the Philadelphia word learning test was used to measure memory, the Boston naming test to measure language, the connection test A and B to measure executive ability, and the Stroup test C to measure attention. The differences in brain component volume, cognitive function, emotion, and life ability between two groups of patients were compared, and the correlation between IDH and brain component volume was explored by regression analysis.Result:A total of 119 patients were included in this study, of whom 22 (18.5%) had hypotension during dialysis. The volumes of amygdala, cuneiform lobe, and posterior cingulate gyrus in IDH group were significantly smaller than those in the non-hypotension group [ (1.6±0.2) mm 3vs. (1.7±0.2) mm 3, t=2.674, P=0.009; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±1.0) mm 3, t=2.187, P=0.031; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±0.9) mm 3, t=2.252, P=0.024]. The differences of gray matter, white matter volume between the two groups showed a similar trend but did not reach statistical significance. And lacunar infarction and cerebral microbleeds were more common in IDH group. The daily living ability scores of the two groups were similar (65.51±11.52 vs. 65.71±11.53, Z=-0.456, P=0.648). The proportion of patients with cognitive abnormalities was higher in the IDH group, without statistical significance. The proportion of depression was similar. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that IDH was significantly negatively correlated with the volume of amygdala, cuneiform cortex, and posterior cingulate gyrus, which control emotions in the brain ( B=-0.117, 95% CI -0.203--0.030, P=0.009; B=-0.484, 95% CI -0.923--0.046, P=0.031; B=-0.485, 95% CI -0.911--0.058, P=0.026). After multivariate adjustment, decreased amygdala volume was still correlated with IDH ( B=-0.111, 95% CI -0.198--0.025, P=0.026). Conclusion:Recurrent IDH may lead to atrophy of various brain components, which may be one of the reasons for cognitive and emotional changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Objective To prepare a postbiotic using soybean fermentation product of Lactobacillus paracasei TK1501 and evaluate its inhibitory effect against Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection in mice.Methods L.paracasei TK1501 was cultured for 32 h at 37℃in an anaerobic condition for solid substrate fermentation with a solid to water ratio of 1:1.5 in the substrate and an inoculation density of 5×107 CFU/mL.The postbiotic was isolated and purified using macroporous resin XAD-16N adsorption,cation exchange chromatography and HPLC,and its stability and antibacterial activity were assessed.The inhibitory effect of this postbiotic against Hp infection was evaluated in a mouse model with gastric mucosal Hp infection,which were treated with the postbiotic via gavage for 4 weeks at the dose of 0.02 or 0.1 mL.Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β of the mice were analyzed after the treatments,and gastric tissues of the mice were collected for HE staining.Results L.paracasei TK1501 postbiotic could be easily degraded by protease and had good thermal stability and tolerance to exposures to acid,base,and organic solvents.In the in vitro experiment,the postbiotic showed strong inhibitory effects in bacterial cultures of Staphylococcus aureus,Hp and other common pathogenic bacteria without obviously affecting the resident bacteria in the digestive tract.In the mouse models,treatment with the postbiotic at the dose of 0.1 mL significantly alleviated Hp infection and lowered the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β of the mice.Conclusion L.paracasei TK1501 postbiotic has strong inhibitory effects on Hp and Staphylococcus aureus but not on normal intestinal flora in mice.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of Xiaoyao San (XYS), a herbal medicine formula, on exercise capacity and liver mitochondrial metabolomics in a rat model of depression induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). METHODS: A total of 24 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (C), CUMS control group (M), Venlafaxine positive treatment group (V), and XYS treatment group (X). Depressive behaviour and exercise capacity of rats were assessed by body weight, sugar-water preference test, open field test, pole test, and rotarod test. The liver mitochondria metabolomics were analyzed by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method. TCMSP database and GeneCards database were used to screen XYS for potential targets for depression, and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed. RESULTS: Compared with C group, rats in M group showed significantly lower body weight, sugar water preference rate, number of crossing and rearing in the open field test, climbing down time in the pole test, and retention time on the rotarod test (P < 0.01). The above behaviors and exercise capacity indices were significantly modulated in rats in V and X groups compared with M group (P < 0.05, 0.01). Compared with C group, a total of 18 different metabolites were changed in the liver mitochondria of rats in M group. Nine different metabolites and six metabolic pathways were regulated in the liver mitochondria of rats in X group compared with M group. The results of network pharmacology showed that 88 intersecting targets for depression and XYS were obtained, among which 15 key targets such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF were predicted to be the main differential targets for the treatment of depression. Additionally, a total of 1 553 GO signaling pathways and 181 KEGG signaling pathways were identified, and the main biological pathways were AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway. CONCLUSION XYS treatment could improve depressive symptoms, enhance exercise capacity, positively regulate the changes of mitochondrial metabolites and improve energy metabolism in the liver of depressed rats. These findings suggest that XYS exerts antidepressant effects through multi-target and multi-pathway.

Objective : To investigate the prevalence of occupational injury and identify its influencing factors among workers in a steel enterprise in Gansu Province, so as to provide insights into prevention of occupational injury among steel workers. Methods: Workers were sampled from a steel enterprise in Gansu Province using a cluster sampling method from January to March 2022, and participants' demographics, occupational history and occupational injury were collected using questionnaire surveys. The type of job and site and type of injury were analyzed among workers with occupational injuries, and factors affecting workers' occupational injuries were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 12 089 questionnaires were allocated and 10 725 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 88.71%. The respondents included 9 412 males (87.77%) and 1 312 females (12.23%), and had a median age of 36.00 (interquartile range, 15.00) years. Junior college and above was the predominant educational level (6 056 workers, 56.47%), and the respondents had a median length of service of 10 (interquartile range, 11) years. The prevalence of occupational injury was 5.25% among respondents. Overhaul worker was the main type of job (11.90%), and object strike was the predominant type of occupational injury (18.25%), while the lower limb was the predominant site of injury (27.82%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified men (OR=2.464, 95%CI: 1.580-3.843), age (30 to 39 years, OR=2.561, 95%CI: 1.643-3.993; 40 to 49 years, OR=5.197, 95%CI: 2.679-10.079; 50 years and older, OR=10.620, 95%CI: 6.788-16.615), exposure to high temperature (OR=1.400, 95%CI: 1.165-1.683), operating equipment failure (OR=1.291, 95%CI: 1.048-1.591), absence of personal safety protection equipment (OR=1.555, 95%CI: 1.064-2.273) and safety behavior scores (OR=0.967, 95%CI: 0.937-0.996) as factors affecting occupational injuries among workers in a steel enterprise. Conclusions Men and overhaul workers are at a high risk of occupational injuries in this steel enterprise. Objectstrike is the predominant type of injury and lower limb is the main site of injury. The risk of occupational injuries is affected by gender, age, working environments, equipment status and safety behaviors.
