A high efficiency phenol-degrading bacterial strain PS1 was isolated from the drainage ditch of chemical laboratory of East China Institute of Technology.PS1 is a coccus,Gram negative and can live on phenol as its sole carbon and energy source.PS1 to identified as a strain of Raoultella sp.by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis,which can degrade and tolerate more than 3500mg/L phenol.When phenol concentration is 500mg/L and 1000mg/L,PS1 can completely degrade it in 22 h and 32h,respectively.And while it is between 1500mg/L～3000mg/L,all phenol can be degraded by PS1 in 32h～50h.When phenol concentration is 2500mg/L,the phenol-degrading rate is the biggest and can reach to 78.1mg/h.The optimum growth and phenol-degrading conditions were obtained by orthogonal experiment,which are 25℃,pH6.5,glucose concentration 500mg/L and 20℃,pH7.0,glucose concentration 500mg/L,respectively.

Objective To analyze the disease burden caused by occupational coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in Anhui Methods Province. A total of 1 649 patients with occupational CWP diagnosed in Anhui Province from 1950 to 2019 were selected as the study subjects using a retrospective study method. Age, gender, survival time, location, working age of disease onset, age of death, stage and date of diagnosis of CWP, comorbidities at the time of investigation, hospitalization and outpatient expenses in the past year, cost of absence from work, cost of absence from work of caregivers, and cost of nutrition and transportation were investigated. The years of life lost, years lived with disability (YLDs), disability adjusted life years (DALYs) Results and economic losses were calculated. Among these patients, 1 405 cases survived and 244 cases died. In the age range - - - of 20.0 70.0 years, the YLDs of surviving patients were 2.12 22.20 (8.19±3.59) person years. The YLDs of patients with disease vs - P complications was higher than that of patients without complications [(8.55±3.95) (7.87±3.21) person years, <0.01]. The total - - DALYs of the patients was 14 031.59 person years, and the average per capita DALYs was 8.51 person years. Its YLDs accounted for 82.0 % of the total DALYs. The total economic loss caused by CWP in the 1 405 surviving patients was 354.903 0 Conclusion million yuan, and the average per capita economic loss was 252 600 yuan. The disease burden caused by CWP is relatively high in Anhui Province. In addition to early detection, diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to focus on prevention and treatment of CWP complications to reduce the disease burden.

To acquire epidemiological data on the bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and identify cattle persistently infected (PI) with this virus, 4,327 samples from Holstein dairy cows were screened over a four-year period in Beijing, China. Eighteen BVD viruses were isolated, 12 from PI cattle. Based on genetic analysis of their 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR), the 18 isolates were assigned to subgenotype BVDV-1m, 1a, 1d, 1q, and 1b. To investigate the innate immune responses in the peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of PI cattle, the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), RIG-I-like receptors, interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), IFN-beta, myxovirus (influenza virus) resistance 1 (MX1), and interferon stimulatory gene 15 (ISG15) was assessed by qPCR. When compared with healthy cattle, the expression of TLR-7, IFN-alpha, and IFN-beta mRNA was downregulated, but the expression of MX1 and ISG-15 mRNA was upregulated in PI cattle. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that the expression of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and IRF-7 was lower in PI cattle than in healthy cattle. Thus, BVDV-1m and 1a are the predominant subgenotypes in the Beijing region, and the strains are highly divergent. Our findings also suggest that the TLR-7/IRF-7 signaling pathway plays a role in evasion of host restriction by BVDV.

As a newly epidemic, 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with a concentrated outbreak poses a great challenge to medical treatment. The severe and critical patients are complex complicatied with the psychological problems, and the medical staff are overworked and under tremendous psychological pressure. The surgeon participated in emergency medical rescue could provide professional treatment for the patients combined with surgical diseases, as well as specialized training for the non-surgeon crew, to reduce surgical-related mortality. With the advantages of good team consciousness, strong aseptic concept and good psychological quality, the surgeons can quickly adapt to and carry out rescue work under the premise of good self-protection. Surgeons need to develop critical care management concepts and focus on the critical care support equipment. Some suggestions are put forward for the standardized training of resident surgeons to cultivate compound talents. It is hoped that this article can lead to the thinking of how to participate in the emergency medical rescue of infectious diseases among surgeons and provide some enlightenment for future surgical education.

Objective To understand the distribution and changes in antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa)in the member hospitals of Hunan Provincial Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System from 2012 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion or automa-ted instrument was performed on clinical isolates.Testing results were determined according to the standards of 2022 edition from American Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI).Statistical analysis was performed by WHONET 5.6 software.Data were analyzed by trend test(Cochran-armitage)and Chi-square test with SPSS.Results A total of 176 441 strains of P.aeruginosa were surveilled by Hunan Provincial Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System from 2012 to 2021.99.4％of the strains were isolated from hospitalized patients,and about 70％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens.8.4％of P.aeruginosa were from children(0-17 years old),91.6％were from adults.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results showed that P.aeruginosa was most sensitive to polymyxin B over 10 years,with a resis-tance rate of less than 6％.Resistance rates to piperacil-lin,piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftazidime,cefepime,aztreonam,imipenem,amikacin,gentamicin,tobramycin,cip-rofloxacin,levofloxacin,and polymyxin B all showed downward trends.A total of 29 920 carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)strains were detected.The average isolation rate of CRPA in this province was 18.0％over 10 years.CRPA detection rate from adult was 18.5％,higher than that from children(12.3％),and both showing downward trends.Conclusion The resistance rate of clinically isolated P.aeruginosa in Hunan Province to most commonly used antimicrobial agents is decreasing.

Objective To analyze the stem cell re-distribution after intra-coronary infusion (ICI)into arrested and beating hearts in a swine myocardial infarction ( MI ) model using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were obtained from male swine and labeled with iron oxide during culture. One week after MI in female swine, the survivors were randomly divided into 4 groups. Cardiopulmonary bypass was set up to arrest the heart, and then SPIO labeled male stem cells ( 1 × 108 ) were infused through coronary of beating heart ( n = 6) and the arrested heart ( n = 6).Saline was injected in either the beating or arresting heart as respective controls. Three days later, cell distribution was assessed by T2* change with magnetic resonance imaging and Y-chromosome (SRY) was detected with quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results The reduction of T2* values was significantly different in the hearts, spleens, livers and lung between the transplantation groups and the control groups. Only few transplanted cells were localized in the heart and T2 * values were similar between beating and arrest heart groups [ ( -7.81 ±2.03) ms vs. ( -6.56 ± 1.72)ms, P＞0.05], while T2* value reduction was more significant in the spleen and liver in arrest heart group than in beating heart group [spleen: (-16.72 ±2.83)ms vs. ( -22.18 ±3.98)ms, P＜0.01, liver: ( -2.40±0.44)ms vs.( -5.32 ± 3.40 ) ms, P ＜ 0. 05 ] . T2 * value was similar in kidney among the four groups. qRT-PCR detected SRY gene was similar in the heart, less in the spleen and liver while more in the lung in beating heart group compared to arrested heart group. In vitro Prussian blue stained positively transplanted cells were found in the above organs in transplantation group. Conclusions The majority of stem cells transplanted by ICI would be entrapped by the extracardial organs. Stem cell transplantation via ICI into the arrested heart does not favor more cells retention in the injured myocardium. Further investigation is needed to optimize the approach of stem cell delivery.

ObjectiveTo reveal the intervention effect of Dahuang Mudantang on pancreatic injury in rats with acute pancreatitis （AP） of dampness-heat in large intestine syndrome and explore its possible mechanism based on network pharmacology. MethodNinety-six SPF-grade Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following six groups： a blank group， a model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose Dahuang Mudantang groups （3.5， 7， and 14 g·kg^-1）， and a Qingyi Lidan granules group （3 g·kg^-1）， with 16 rats in each group. The AP model of dampness-heat in large intestine syndrome was induced in rats except for those in the blank group by "high-temperature and high-humidity environment + high-sugar and high-fat diet + retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreaticobiliary duct". The blank and model groups received equal volumes of distilled water by gavage， while the treatment groups were administered Dahuang Mudantang or Qingyi Lidan granules 1 hour before modeling， and 12 and 24 hours after modeling. Samples were collected 1 hour after the last administration. The general conditions of the rats were observed. The AP model of dampness-heat in large intestine syndrome was evaluated. Serum amylase （AMS） and C-reactive protein （CRP） levels were determined using biochemical methods. Pancreatic tissue morphology was observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Network pharmacology was employed to predict potential targets of Dahuang Mudantang in the intervention in AP， and molecular biology technique was used to verify relevant targets. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited lethargy， unkempt fur， loose and foul-smelling stools， elevated anal temperature with arching and twisting reactions， significantly increased serum levels of AMS and CRP （P<0.05）， abnormal pancreatic ductules， disordered interlobular spaces， and inflammatory cell infiltration in histopathological examination， as well as pathological changes including pancreatic acinar cell swelling， congestion， and necrosis. Compared with the model group， the treatment groups showed varying degrees of improvement in general survival conditions， reduced twisting reactions， visibly improved stool characteristics， reduced pancreatic tissue edema and necrosis， decreased serum AMS and CRP levels （P<0.05）， with the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang group showing the most pronounced effects （P<0.05）. Network pharmacology prediction indicated that hederagenin， β-sitosterol， and quercetin were the most widely connected active compounds with disease targets. Protein-protein interaction （PPI） network analysis revealed that protein kinase B （Akt）， tumor protein P53 （TP53）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， transcription factor （JUN）， vascular endothelial growth factor α （VEGFα）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM1） were key targets in the "drug-disease" interaction. KEGG enrichment analysis suggested that the response of the mitogen activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway might be a core mechanism for DHMDT in the intervention in AP. Molecular biology analysis showed that compared with the blank group， the model group had significantly increased levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and VCAM-1 in pancreatic tissue （P<0.05）， as well as significantly elevated expression levels of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）， mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 2 （MK2）， and human antigen R （HUR） genes and proteins （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the treatment groups exhibited decreased levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and VCAM-1 in pancreatic tissue （P<0.05）， reduced expression levels of p38 MAPK， MK2， and HUR genes and proteins， with the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang group showing the most pronounced effects （P<0.05）. ConclusionDahuang Mudantang activates and regulates the p38 MAPK/MK2/HUR signaling pathway to suppress the release of inflammatory factors， thereby improving pancreatic injury.
