To observe the dynamic change of parasites in the brains of BALB/c mice infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis in order to explore its possible mechanism of pathogenesis', BALB/c mice infected with the III stage larvae of A.cantonensis were observed and killed in different times after infection. The number and distribution of parasites in the brains of the infected mice were observed microscopically and macroscopically. It was found that the larvae of A.cantonensis were distributed in the cerebrum and cerebellum of mice in accordance with the rule of parasitization of worms in the host, i.e.multiplication at first and then dropping in number. And the places where the parasites located were damaged due to mechanical action or inflammatory reactions. The time of onset of symptoms, such as ataxia and twitch was coincided with the dynamic changes in the brains of the infected mice.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the quality of Bombyx batryticatus medicinal materials in the market by multi-index,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:Referring to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition,part 1),the appearance characters of samples were observed,moisture and the total ash were detected,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was adopted to identify the medicinal materials,UV-Visible spectrophotometry and potassium permanganate titration were respec-tively used to determine the contents of active ingredient protein and ammonium oxalate. RESULTS:The moisture ranged in 2.84%-4.07%(RSD<5%,n=3),total ash in 7.79%-34.32%(RSD<5%,n=3),UV and FTIR spectra were basically similar, and both can reflect the characteristic peaks of protein peptides. Protein content ranged in 29.87%-57.19%(RSD<0.5%,n=3), ammonium oxalate content in 0.27%-4.77%(RSD<5%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The 10 batches of samples are authentic and processed products,moisture fits the requirement in pharmacopoeia while total ash does not;and the main ingredient is protein pep-tides. However,effective protein polypeptide content shows great differences as well as ammonium oxalate.

Objective:To screen and diagnose cervical lesions in middle-aged and elderly postmenopausal women and analyze the characteristics of cervical lesions in middle-aged and elderly women.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the screening data of 1 337 postmenopausal women aged between 50 and 86 years who visited the outpatient clinics of the gynecology department of Beijing Hospital between January, 2015 and December, 2019.Participants were divided into groups based on age, with 787 in the 50-59 years old group, 483 in the 60-69 years old group, 60 in the 70-79 years old group, and 7 in the 80-89 years old group.Exfoliated cervical cells were collected, and high-risk human papillomavirus(HPV)detection and liquid-based cervical cytology examination were performed to confirm the diagnosis based on the pathological results of cervical biopsy.Cervical lesions were analyzed.Results:53.0%(708)of the 1 337 enrolled patients made their hospital visits because of symptoms.There were 666 patients(49.8%)with cervical lesions, including 357 with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL), 252 with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL)and 57(4.3%)with cervical cancer.The 70-79 group showed the highest incidence of HSIL at 30.0%(18/60), while the 50~59 group had the highest incidence of LSIL at 30.6%(241/787), and there were significant differences in different types of cervical lesions between different age groups( χ2=28.919, P<0.01). Liquid-based cervical cytology examination revealed a positive rate of 51.6%(166/322)for LSIL, a positive rate of 70.8%(143/202)for HSIL, and a rate of 71.4%(25/35)for cervical cancer.There were significant differences in LSIL, HSIL and other above-mentioned positive rates of lesions( P<0.05). In the cervical malignancy group, cytological high-grade squamous epithelial lesions made up 51.4%(18/35). Intraepithelial lesions or cancerous lesions represented 29.2%(59/202)in the HSIL group.The rate of intraepithelial lesions or cancerous lesions in the LSIL group was 48.4%(156/322), with statistically significance in these differences( χ2=118.806, P<0.01). Chronic cervicitis was found in 52.9%(109)of 206 patients with atypical squamous cells and positive HPV, and in 76.2%(16)of 21 patients without HPV.HPV examination was completed in 1 301 patients, with 69.4%(903)having infections by one HPV strain and 30.6%(398)having infections by mixed HPV strains.Biopsy results showed that the rates of HPV infections in LSIL, HSIL and cancer patients were 84.6%(302/357), 95.9(185/193)and 100%(54/54), respectively, and the differences in these pathological results were statistically significant( P<0.01). HPV16 was the most common subtype in single HPV strain infections.The most common subtypes of HPV infections in cervical lesions with HSIL and above were HPV16 and HPV18.The agreement rate was 52.4%(187/357)for LSIL, 60.7%(153/252)for HSIL, and 64.9%(37/57)for cervical cancer between diagnoses based on cervical biopsy and those based on colposcopy.As the severity of lesions increased, the accuracy of colposcopy also increased.Differences between colposcopic diagnosis and pathological diagnosis on different types of cervical lesions were statistically significant( χ2=550.382, P<0.01).1 310 patients underwent endocervical curettage, identifying 120 cases of HSIL and 39 cases of cervical cancer, with a detection rate of 55.8%(159/285). Conclusions:The incidence of cervical cancer is high in elderly women.The incidences of high-grade lesions and cervical cancer in patients with atypical squamous cells plus HPV infections in the cervix are also high.Postmenopausal patients with cervical lesions are mainly infected by a single HPV subtype, with subtype 16 being the most common one.With increasing severity of lesions, the accuracy of colposcopy-based diagnosis increases and the rate of missed diagnosis decreases.Cervical curettage is an important means to reduce missed diagnosis with colposcopy.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of pirfenidone and nintedanib in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS Randomised controlled trials on pirfenidone and nintedanib in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis which were publicly published in Chinese and English were searched from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane library and other databases. The search time was set from January 2000 to December 2021. The existing studies were combined with indirect meta-analysis to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of the two drugs in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. RESULTS A total of 15 randomized controlled trials were included, involving 1 026 cases in trial group of pirfenidone and 845 cases in control group of pirfenidone, 1 846 cases in trial group of nintedanib and 1 848 cases in control group of nintedanib. Both control groups were placebo. The results of indirect meta-analysis showed that the two drugs were similar in the evaluation indicators of therapeutic efficacy as acute exacerbation rate, the incidence of forced vital capacity (FVC)% decrease ≥10% from baseline or the incidence of absolute value decrease ≥0.2 L (P values of indirect analysis results were all > 0.01, and the difference was not statistically significant); but in terms of disease progression rate, nintedanib 150 mg (bid) was superior to pirfenidone 800 mg (tid) (RR=1.66, 95%CI=1.06-2.63); in terms of safety, the incidence of diarrhea induced by nintedanib 150 mg (bid) was higher than pirfenidone 800 mg (tid) (RR=0.42, 95%CI=0.33-0.53). CONCLUSIONS Compared with pirfenidone, nintedanib has slightly superior efficacy in terms of disease progression control, but the incidence of adverse reactions is also increased.
