This study was aimed to observe renoprotective effect and possible mechanism on Y i-Shui Sheng-Xin Yin in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Sixty 12-week male SHR rats were randomly divided into six groups , which were the Y i-Shui She ng-X in Y in low-dose group , middle-dose group , high-dose group , Benazepril group , model group and blank control group , and ten rats for each group . The SHR rats were sacrificed after eight weeks . The urine microalbumin , blood urea nitrogen and cystatin were tested in each rat . The HE and Masson staining method were used to observe changes of renal pathology . Changes of expression of transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) , connective tissue growth factor ( CTGF ) , FN were detected by immunohistochemistry . The results showed that compared with the blank control group , blood pressure in model group was associated with a significant rise after 8 weeks. Compared with the model group, blood pressure in the Yi-Shui Sheng-Xin Yin middle-dose group, high-dose group and Benazepril group significantly decreased. Compared with the blank control group , urine microalbumin , blood urea nitrogen and cystatin in model group were associated with a significant rise . Compared with the model group , urine microalbumin , blood urea nitrogen and cystatin in the Y i-Shui She ng-X in Y in middle-dose group , high-dose group and Benazepril group significantly decreased . Pathological examinations showed that pathological changes in model group were faster than all drug-groups , appeared pathological changes of glomerular hypertrophy , glomerular basement membrane thickening of heterogeneity and extensive vacuoles degeneration . Immunohistochemical staining showed that compared with the blank control group , expressions of TGF-β1 , CTGF and FN of rat kidney tissue in model group were obviously up-regulated ( P < 0 . 05 ) . Compared with the model group , expressions of TGF-β1 , CTGF and FN in the Y i-Shui She ng-X in Y in , middle-dose group , high-dose group and Benazepril group were down-regulated ( P < 0 . 05 ) . It was concluded that Y i-Shui She ng-X in Y in can reduce SHR rats' early renal glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis , which play roles of delaying the progress of hypertension and protecting kidney . Its mechanism of action may be related to TGF-β1 , CTGF , FN signal pathways .

Objective:To establish a multi-factor prediction model for vascular aging based on psychological behavior and physical exercise using nomogram and structural equation method.Methods:A total of 701 inpatients or physical examination patients who underwent carotid ultrasound examination in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 2021 to March 2023 were selected by cross-sectional method. The subjects were randomly divided into training queue( n=492) and verification queue( n=209) according to the ratio of 7∶3.The psychological and behavioral factors, lifestyle, demography and accompanying diseases data were collected. Multi-factor binary Logistic regression method in SPSS 25.0 software was used to screen independent influencing factors of vascular aging, R 4.2.2 software was used to build a nomogram prediction model of vascular aging, and the ROC curve, calibration chart and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the nomogram, and AMOS software was used to build a structural equation model of vascular aging. Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that type A behavior( B=1.757, OR(95% CI)=5.790(2.750-12.210), P<0.001), physical exercise( B=-3.019, OR(95% CI)=0.050(0.020-0.100), P<0.001), high-fat diet( B=0.679, OR(95% CI)=1.970(1.350-2.880), P<0.001), sleep quality( B=-1.451, OR(95% CI)=0.230(0.120-0.460), P<0.001), tea drinking habits( B=-2.349, OR(95% CI)=0.100(0.050-0.200), P<0.001), age( B=0.061, OR(95% CI)=1.060(1.020-1.110), P=0.005), sex( B=-1.263, OR(95% CI)=0.280(0.140-0.570), P<0.001), hyperlipidemia( B=0.679, OR(95% CI)=1.970(1.350-2.880), P<0.001) and diabetes( B=0.838, OR(95% CI)=2.310(1.140-4.700), P=0.021)were independent influencing factors of vascular aging. The nomogram model showed that type A behavior, physical exercise, high-fat diet, sleep quality, tea drinking habits, age, sex, hyperlipidemia and diabetes were independent influencing factors of vascular aging.Advanced age, type A behavior, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and the score of high-fat diet were risk factors for vascular aging, while better sleep quality, tea drinking habit and the score of physical exercise were protective factors for vascular aging.Men were more prone to vascular aging than women. Structural equation model showed that type A behavior had the strongest direct positive effect on vascular aging (the effect coefficient=0.197, P<0.01), and physical exercise had the strongest direct negative effect on vascular aging (the effect coefficient=-0.452, P<0.01), which could indirectly affect vascular aging through various factors. Conclusions:The nomogram model shows the independent influencing factors of vascular aging and has certain predictive value.Structural equation model shows that many factors such as psychological behavior and lifestyle can directly or indirectly affect the occurrence of vascular aging, among which type A behavior and physical exercise have more extensive effects.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli（ETEC）infection can induce watery diarrhea，leading to dehydration，electrolyte disturbance，and even death in severe cases. Recombinant B subunit/inactivated whole-cell cholera（rBS/WC）vaccine is effective in preventing ETEC infectious diarrhea. On the basis of the latest evidence on etiology and epidemiology of ETEC，as well as the effectiveness，safety，and health economics of rBS/WC vaccine，National Clinical Research Center for Child Health（The Children’s Hospital，Zhejiang University School of Medicine）and Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention invited experts to develop expert consensus on rBS/WC vaccine in prevention of ETEC infectious diarrhea. It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.
