Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on triptolide (TP)-induced immunological liver injuries, and explore the relevant mechanisms of action. Methods: A total of 40 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:control group,EGCG group,TP group and TP+EGCG group. The ALT levels in serum was examined by Reitman Frankel method. The activity of hepatic MDA,SOD and GSH was examined by spectrophotometry. HE staining was used to observed the changes of the hepatic histopathology. The hepatic IL-17,IL-6 levels was examined by ELISA and the expression of hepatic TLR4 protein was examined by Western blot. Results:The results showed that serum alanine aminotransaminase ( ALT) levels of TP group were obviously elevated (P<0. 005,vs normal control group) and serum ALT levels were obviously reduced in EGCG treatment group(P<0. 005,vs normal TP group). There were no significantly differences between EGCG group and control group (P>0. 05). Meanwhile,EGCG could ameliorate hepatic pathological damage. Furthermore,in TP group,the activity of malondialdehyde ( MDA) ,the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) protein and the contentration of hepatic interleukin (IL)-17,IL-6 were higher than normal control group ( P<0. 005 ) . On the contrary, the activity of superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) and restored glutathione ( GSH ) were significantly lower than normal control group ( SOD, P<0. 05;GSH, P<0. 005 ) . In EGCG treatment group, the expression of TLR4 protein and the concentration of MDA,hepatic IL-17 and IL-6 were lower than TP group ( TLR4,P<0. 05;MDA,P<0. 005;IL-17,P<0. 005;IL-6,P<0. 005). On the contrary,SOD and GSH were significantly higher than TP group (SOD,P<0. 05;GSH,P<0. 005). Conclusion:This study suggests that EGCG possesses hepatoprotective effect against TP-induced immunological liver injury through its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant actions.

Objective To detect the in vitro effect of the traditional Chinese medicine on the tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii. Methods Supernatant (1^5 ml) of different doses of the traditional Chinese medicine (Changqing capsule) was collected by normal saline immersion and 2^5?10+4 Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites were added in each paste well for 8 hours. Spiramycin, pyrimethamine and azithromycin in different doses were used as controls. Normal saline was used as negative control. Mice were inoculated with drug-treated tachyzoites intraperitoneally or intragastrically. The normal mice were subcultured after 8 days for 3 generations. Results The incident number of the infected mice was significantly different among groups with different drugs and doses: 2/60, 16/60, 10/60 and 10/60 in the groups of Changqing capsule, spiramycin, pyrimethamine and azithromycin respectively (P

Objective To explore the effect of support with total parenteral nutrition(TPN)or early enteral and parenteral nutrition(EN+PN)on immune function of critically ill neurosurgical patients.Methods In this prospective control study,patients were divided inte TPN group and EN+PN group based on the timing of admission.The changes of immunological indicators including CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8,CD3/CD25,IgA,IgG,IgM,and serum protein before and after nutritional support were compared.Results The percentage of T lymphocyte subsets CD3,CD4,and CD8,the ratio of CD3+/CD25+,the plasma leveh of IgA,IgM,and IgG,and the serum protein were significantly increased after nutrifional supports(P<0.05,P<0.01).However,compared with the TPN group,the percentages of T lymphocyte subsets(CD3,CD4,and CD8),the ratio of CD4+/CD8+,the plasma levels of IgA,IgM,and IgG,and the serum protein were significantly higher in EN+PN group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusions Both TPN and EN+PN can promote the recovery of immune function,while EN+PN is superior to TPN.Early nutritional support should be provided to critically ill neurosurgical patients.

Objective:To explore the relationship between family cumulative risk, non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation, school climate and depression of junior high school students.Methods:From June to September 2022, a total of 1 136 junior high school students were surveyed by the family cumulative risk questionnaire, the cognitive emotion regulation strategy questionnaire, the self-rating depression scale for children and school climate scale.The mediating effect of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and the moderating effect of school climate were tested by the Macro program PROCESS of SPSS 25.0 software.Results:Family cumulative risk score was 1.00(2.00), non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation score was 21.00(8.00) and depression score was 7.00(9.00). (2) Family cumulative risk was significantly positively correlated with non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation( r=0.28, P<0.01) and depression( r=0.43, P<0.01). There was a significantly positive correlation between non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and depression( r=0.41, P<0.01), and a significantly negative correlation between school climate and depression( r=-0.56, P<0.01). (3) Non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation played a partial mediating role between family cumulative risk and depression, and the direct effect and mediating effect accounted for 80.49%(0.33/0.41) and 19.51%(0.08/0.41)of the total effect respectively.(4) School climate played a moderating role in the influence of family cumulative risk on non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation. Under the condition of the level of school climate was high, the positive predicting effect of family cumulative risk on non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation was significantly enhanced( Bsimple=0.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:Family cumulative risk plays a certain role in depression through the mediation of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the regulation of school climate in junior high school students.

OBJECTIVETo assess the impact of stomach cancer on the Chinese population by epidemiological analysis of its mortality distribution.

METHODS1990-1992 data on stomach cancer mortality collected by sampling survey involved one tenth of the total Chinese population.

RESULTSThe crude mortality rate of stomach cancer in China was 25.2 per 10(5) (32.8 per 10(5) for males and 17.0 per 10(5) for females), which comprised 23.2% of the total cancer deaths from 1990 to 1992, making stomach cancer the leading cause of cancer death. The stomach cancer mortality rate of males was 1.9 times of that of females. The Chinese mortality rates of stomach cancer adjusted by the world population were 40.8 per 10(5) and 18.6 per 10(5) of males and females, which were 4.2-7.9 (of males) and 3.8-8.0 (of females) times of those in the developed countries. Age-adjusted mortality rates of stomach cancer in China have distinct geographical difference: form the lowest 2.5 per 10(5) to the highest 153.0 per 10(5) in the 263 surveyed localities, 15.3 per 10(5) in urban areas and 24.4 per 10(5) in rural areas giving a difference of 1.9 times.

CONCLUSIONThe prevention and treatment of stomach cancer in China, especially in the countryside and the under-developed areas in the northwest, should be a long-term focus in control of cancers of the digestive system. Urgent measures for prevention and early detection of stomach cancer should be taken.

Objective:To study the effect of video teaching combined with offline training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for new nurses outside hospital.Methods:From August 2017 to August 2018, 125 new nurses from Shanghai Changzheng Hospital were selected. New nurses in August 2017 were set as control group ( n=65). In August 2018, the new nurses were set as the observation group ( n=60). The control group used the traditional offline training mode to train cardiopulmonary resuscitation outside the hospital. The observation group used information platform video teaching combined with offline theoretical training to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. After systematic training, the results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation after training and the satisfaction of teaching were compared between the two groups. Results:Before training, there was no significant difference in the assessment results of cardiopulmonary resuscitation theory and operation between the two groups ( t values were 0.12, 1.23, P>0.05). After training the scores of cardiopulmonary resuscitation theory and operation examination in the observation group were 85.41±3.20, 92.40±2.50, and 82.52±4.50, 85.0±3.60 in the control group ( t value was 1.04,4.24, all P<0.05). Encouraging and enhancing the learning interest of new nurses, cultivating mutual supervision and mutual guidance, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical operation, improving and adjusting self-motivation, overall evaluation of teaching methods and total score in the observation group were 3.61±0.34, 3.54±0.20, 3.61±0.28, 3.87±0.20, 3.32±0.21, 17.95±0.26, and 2.60±0.41, 2.41±0.16, 2.55±0.35, 2.41±0.46, 2.58±0.20,12.55±0.32 in the control group ( t value was 2.187-2.452, P<0.05). Conclusion:Video teaching combined with offline training can improve the performance of new nurses in the training of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, stimulate the learning interest of nurses, and enhance the effect of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.

ObjectiveTo understand the influencing factors of women’s intention to utilize preconception health care services， so as to promote the utilization of preconception care among women with future pregnancy plan. MethodsThe study was conducted at 8 outpatient health clinics of medical institutions providing perinatal health care in Jiading District of Shanghai. Women who had fertility intention for another child were invited to complete an electronic questionnaire from November 2020 to February 2021. ResultsWomen with better pregnancy and birth care behaviors during the last periconception were more likely to utilize preconception care service before the next conception than those with previous poorer behaviors （OR=1.980， 95%CI= 1.061‒3.694， P=0.032）. Women with higher preconception care knowledge scores had better pregnancy and birth care behaviors during the last periconception than those with lower knowledge scores （OR=1.362， 95%C1= 1.004‒1.846， P=0.047）. ConclusionsIn order to improve the utilization of preconception care among the population with future pregnancy plan， it is necessary to further strengthen health education and social mobilization to promote the preconception eugenic knowledge， planned pregnancy and pregnancy and birth care behaviors.

ObjectiveTo understand the utilization of preconception healthcare services and the influencing factors among the women expecting additional childbirth in Jiading District， Shanghai， and to provide references for promoting the utilization of preconception healthcare services under the new population policy. MethodsA questionnaire survey on the utilization of preconception healthcare services and related influencing factors was carried out among 682 women expecting additional childbirth across six subdistricts in Jiading District， Shanghai. The results were statistically analyzed. ResultsThe average age of the women was （31.7±4.5） years， 30.2% of whom were ≥35 years old. The proportion of women having their third or subsequent children was low， at 16.4%. A significant majority， 92.4%， were found to have various risk factors during initial pregnancy screening. The utilization rate of preconception healthcare services among women seeking additional childbirth was relatively low at 26.7%. Awareness of the free preconception check-up program in Jiading District was also low at 28.6%， and the utilization rate for these services was even lower at 7.69%. Unplanned pregnancies were the primary reason for not utilizing preconception healthcare services， accounting for 63.6%. The results of multifactorial binary logistic regression analysis showed that the utilization rate of preconception healthcare services before the current pregnancy was higher for women aged between 35 and 39 compared to women aged ≤29 years old （OR=1.789， 95%CI： 1.033‒3.099）. Women with planned pregnancies had a higher utilization of preconception healthcare services prior to this pregnancy （OR=4.164， 95%CI： 2.627‒6.602）. Women who had received preconception care prior to their first birth had a higher utilization rate of preconception care prior to the current pregnancy （OR=7.534， 95%CI： 4.954‒11.456）. Women without a family history of chronic diseases had a higher utilization rate of preconception healthcare services （OR=1.903， 95%CI： 1.083‒3.345）. ConclusionUnder the context of three-child policy， the proportion of women seeking three or more children in Jiading District is low. Most of these women have risk factors identified during initial pregnancy screenings. The utilization rate of preconception healthcare services and the awareness of the free preconception screening program in Jiading District are both low. Unplanned pregnancies remain the primary reason for failing to receive timely preconception healthcare services. Age， whether the pregnancy was planned， whether the women had received preconception healthcare services before their first baby and family history of chronic diseases are the main factors affecting the utilization of preconception healthcare services. Relevant departments should enhance the promotion of preconception healthcare service programs， especially for women of childbearing age who have not yet given birth， so as to improve the utilization rate of preconception health care services.
