The form of health education should be diversified, especially for expert lectures. Conclusion It is necessary for nurses to conduct health education on clean intermittent catheterization for paitents with neurogenic bladder, at the same time more pertinence is needed.

Objective To ascertain the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in different genders, ages, and ethnic populations of three border regions in Yunnan Province, China, in order to provide the basic data for prevention and control of toxoplasmosis in these areas. Methods A total of 561 serum samples were collected from the local hospitals of three border regions of Yunnan Province (222 serum samples from China-Vietnam border region, 170 serum samples from China-Laos border region, and 169 serum samples from China-Myanmar border region) from November 2015 to May 2016. The detection of IgG antibodies of T. gondii was performed by ELISA. Results In total, 44 (7.84%) of the 561 serum samples were anti-Toxoplasma IgG positive. The positive rates were 8.56% (19/222), 8.82% (15/170) and 5.92% (10/169) in China-Vietnam, China-Laos, and China-Myanmar border regions, respectively. The anti-Toxoplasma IgG positive rates were 5.63%(16/284) in Han, 10.96% (8/73) in Hani, 13.70% (10/73) in Dai, 4.17% (2/48) in Miao, 11.11% (1/9) in Lahu, 7.69% (1/13) in Jinuo, 12.00% (3/25) in Yao, and 11.11% (3/27) in Yi, respectively. The anti-Toxoplasma IgG positive rate in minorities was 10.11%, which was higher than that in Han significantly (χ² = 3.884, P < 0.05), and the positive rate in Dai was higher than that in Han significantly (χ² = 5.594, P < 0.05). The anti-Toxoplasma IgG positive rate in the 11-20-year age group was 23.53% (4/17), which was higher than that in the 0–10 [4.23% (3/71)] (χ² = 4.593, P < 0.05) and 31–40-year groups [4.00% (3/75)] (χ² = 4.997, P < 0.05). Conclusions There are different degrees of T. gondii infection in the human population in the border areas in Yunnan Province, and the risk of infection in ethnic minorities is higher than that in Han nationality. The prevention and control of toxoplasmosis should focus on the minority population.

Objective : To study the effect of EFHD2 protein deletion in Sertoli cells on Occludin，a component of tight junction protein and the localization and expression of EF-hand domain family member D2 (EFHD2) in mouse testis． Methods : Total RNA and protein were extracted from adult mice's heart ，liver ，spleen ，lung ，kidney， brain and testis tissues．The mRNA and protein levels of EFHD2 in each organ tissue were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot．Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry detected the localization and expression of EF- HD2 in testicular tissues．SiRNA interference was used to reduce EFHD2 in Sertoli cells to detect Occludin protein expression. Results : qRT-PCR showed that the expression of EFHD2 was the highest in the testis．Western blot results showed that the expression level increased in testis tissue．Indirect immunofluorescence and immunohisto- chemistry results showed that the protein was mainly distributed in Sertoli cells and co-localized with cytoskeletal Vimentin，indicating that the protein was expressed in Sertoli cells．After the decrease of EFHD2 protein expres- sion，Occludin protein expression also decreased． Conclusion The expression of EFHD2 protein in the testis is relatively high，mainly distributed in Sertoli cells of the testis，co-localized with Vimentin，and can affect the nor- mal expression of tight junction protein Occludin．It is suggested that EFHD2 can promote and maintain the junction structure of Sertoli cells and provide a stable microenvironment for spermatogenesis.

OBJECTIVE：To systematically evaluate the occurren ce of non-immune related adverse events （AEs）caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors （ICIs）alone or combined with routine chemotherapy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC），and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS ：Retrieved from PubMed ，Cochrane Library，Embase，CNKI，CBM，VIP and Wanfang database during the inception to Oct. 2020，randomized controlled trials （RCT） about ICIs alone or combined with routine chemotherapy （trial group ）versus routine chemotherapy or placebo combined with routine chemotherapy （control group ） were collected. After literature screening and data extraction ，the quality of included literatures were evaluated with bias risk evaluation tool recommended by Cochrane systematic evaluator manual 5.1.0. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software and Stata 15.0 software. Sensitivity analysis was conducted with Stata 15.0 software. Inverted funnel plot and Egger ’s test were used to analyze publication bias. RESULTS ：A total of 20 RCTs were included ， involving 12 283 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of all grades and s evere AEs ，anemia，neutropenia， vomiting and alopecia as well as the incidence of thrombocytopenia，nausea and peripheral neuropathy in all grades of trial group were all significantly lower than control com group（P＜0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of termination of treatment ， death， severe thrombocytopenia， severe nausea and severe peripheral neuropathy or all grades and severe diarrhea between 2 groups（P＞0.05）. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of all grade and total severe AEs ，the incidence of anemia ，neutropenia，thrombocytopenia，clinically relevant symptoms （except for severe diarrhea），termination of treatment and death of patients receiving ICIs alone in trial group were significantly lower than control group（P＜0.05）. The incidence of ermination of treatment and death ，the incidence of nausea ，vomiting，diarrhea and alopecia in all grade ，severe diarrhea of patients receiving ICIs and chemotherapy in trial group were all significantly higher than control group （P＜0.05）. Sensitivity analysis supported the above results. Analyze publication bias results showed that the possibility of publication bias in this study was small. CONCLUSIONS ：For NSCLC patients ，the safety of ICIs is better than that of routine chemotherapy or placebo combined with routine chemotherapy in the treatment-related AEs ，hematologic toxicity and clinically relevant symptoms ；however，the risks of treatment discontinuation ，AEs-induced deaths ，and all-grade nausea ，vomiting， diarrhea，alopecia and severe diarrhea will be increased in the ICIs combined with routine chemotherapy.

Chigger mites is a group of arthropods and some of them are vectors of scrub typhus. As a common synanthropic rodent species, the Brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) often harbors lots of ectoparasites including chigger mites. According to some “data mining” strategies, the present study took the advantage of the abundant original data from a long-term field ecological investigation between 2001 and 2015 to make a detailed analysis of chigger mites on R. norvegicus in Yunnan Province, Southwest of China. From 18 of 33 investigated counties, only 1414 chigger mites were collected from 1113 Brown rats with relatively low infestations. The 1414 individual chigger mites were identified as comprising 61 species, 11 genera and 2 subfamilies of the family Trombiculidae with a high species diversity (S=61, H’=3.13). Of 61 mite species, there were four main species, Walchia ewingi, Ascoschoengastia indica, W. koi and A. rattinorvegici, which accounted for 44.41% of the total mites. All the chigger mites were of aggregated distribution among different individuals of R. norvegicus. The Brown rats in the outdoor habitats harbored much more individuals and species of chigger mites with a higher mean abundance (MA=1.46) and mean intensity (MI=12.53) than in the indoor habitats (P<0.05). The overall infestation of the rats was significantly higher in the mountainous landscapes than in the flatland landscapes (P<0.001). The species similarity (Css) of the mites on the male and female rats reached 64.44% with sex biased infestations. The male rats harbored more species and individuals of the mites than the female rats. The adult rats harbored more species and individuals of the mites than the juvenile rats. The species abundance distribution of the mites was successfully fitted by Preston’s lognormal model with S ^ (R)=15e–[0.31(R–1)]2 (α=0.31, R2=0.95). On the basis of fitting the theoretical curve by Preston’s model, the total mite species on R. norvegicus was estimated to be 86 species, and 25 rare mite species were missed in the sampling field investigation. The curve tendency of the species-plot relationship indicates that R. norvegicus have a great potential to harbor many species of chigger mites, and more species of the mites would be collected if more rats are sampled.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of compound preparation of Cordyceps sinensis and Tripterygium hypoglaucum (CSTHC) on survival time of grafted pigskin after allogeneic transplantation and its mechanism. METHODS: The pigskin was treated with CSTHC solution before allogeneic transplantation, and CSTHC ointment was applied for external use on the grafted pigskin after skin transplantation. Cyclosporine A (CsA) and normal saline were served as control. The survival time, the appearance and the histomorphological changes of the grafted pigskin were observed. The histomorphological changes of testicles in pigs were also examined. The CD4 and CD8 expressions in the grafted pigskins were measured by immunohistochemical method. The white blood cell count in peripheral blood and the liver and renal functions were also examined. RESULTS: The survival time of the grafted pigskin in the CSTHC-treated group was (28.50+/-3.26)d, which was much longer as compared with (10.60+/-1.52)d in the untreated group (P<0.01). The survival time of the grafted pigskin in the CsA-treated group was (28.33+/-3.50)d, and there was no remarkable difference in the survival time of the grafted pigskin between the CsA-treated group and the CSTHC-treated group. The expressions of CD4 and CD8 were lower in the CSTHC-treated group than those in the untreated group on the 7th and 14th day after skin graft (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the indices between the CSTHC-treated group and the CsA-treated group. The WBC count was higher in the untreated group than that in the CSTHC-treated group or CsA-treated group on the 7th day after skin graft (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CSTHC can prolong the survival time of allogeneic grafted pigskin. Its mechanism of inhibiting the immunological rejection may relate to decreasing the expressions of CD4(+) and CD8(+) in the grafted pigskin and reducing the local inflammatory reaction.
