ObjectiveTo analyze the infection status of main respiratory pathogens in influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and to provide a reference for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory infections. MethodsThroat swab samples were collected from 520 ILI cases in an influenza sentinel surveillance hospital in Anji County of Zhejiang Province from December 2023 to November 2024. Multiplex real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) was used to detect 18 pathogens and their subtypes, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A virus (Flu A), influenza A (H1N1) virus, influenza A (H3N2) virus, influenza B virus (Flu B), influenza B virus Victoria lineage (BV), influenza B virus Yamagata lineage (BY), coronavirus (CoV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), adenovirus (ADV), human bocavirus (HBoV), enterovirus (EV), rhinovirus (RV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), and Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP). ResultsThe overall positivity rate of pathogens in 520 samples was 33.65%, among which the detection rates of Flu (9.14%), ADV (7.50%), SARS-CoV-2 (6.15%), and EV (3.65%) were relatively high. There were statistically significant differences in the overall positivity rate of pathogens by age and season (all P<0.05). The highest overall positivity rate was observed in the 5‒14 years old group (42.77%), and the overall positivity rate in winter (53.08%) was significantly higher than that in other seasons. ConclusionFrom 2023 to 2024, the main respiratory pathogens detected in ILI cases in Anji County were Flu, ADV, SARS-CoV-2, and EV. The epidemic characteristics showed age and seasonal specificity, so it is necessary to strengthen prevention and control for high-risk populations and epidemic seasons in a targeted manner.

Objective:To investigate the current status of diagnostic X-ray resources in Jinan in order to provide theoretical basis for continuously optimizing the allocation of diagnostic resources and strengthening the management of radiological health and radiation protection.Methods:In accordance with the 2023 Jinan radiation protection monitoring program of medical and health institutions, a survey was carried out for medical institutions involved in diagnostic X-ray examinations (excluding military hospitals and dental clinics) in Jinan by using uniform questionnaires. The survey included the basic situation of diagnostic X-ray institutions, the allocation of diagnostic X-ray equipment, the number of diagnostic staff, and the frequency of diagnositic X-ray examinations.Results:In 2023, there were 298 diagnostic X-ray institutions in Jinan, with 3 494 diagnostic workers and 1 387 items of diagnostic X-ray equipment. The included were 41 tertiary hospitals, 57 secondary hospitals, 110 primary hospitals and 90 unrated hospitals. The tertiary hospitals possessed the largest number of the diagnostic workers and equipment, accounting for 60.99% and 45.35% of the total, respectively. Among all the items of diagnostic X-ray equipment, the number of items of digital radiography equipment ranked top (34.37%), followed by CT machines (24.44%). There were 147.32 items of diagnostic X-ray equipment per million population on average. A total of 8 180 363 individuals received various types of diagnostic X-ray examinations, with CT diagnosis accounting for 46.93% and X-ray for 34.41%. The frequency of diagnostic X-ray examinations was 868.86/1 000 population, including the frequency of CT examinations of 407.76 per 1 000 population.Conclusions:The per capita possession of medical X-ray equipment in Jinan is at a high level. The frequency of medical exposure has increased significantly, especially CT examinations. There is a big gap in diagnostic X-ray resource allocation between different levels of hospitals, so it is necessary to control the resource allocation and strengthen the protection of CT examination on the scientific basis.

To the present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Erlong Zuoci Pills on oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 (HEI-OC1) and to explore the mechanism by cellular metabolomics. There were 6 groups in the experiment: the control group, model group, three dose groups of ELZC (low, medium, and high), and positive control ascorbic acid group. The oxidative stress injury model was established in the HEI-OC1 by inducing 0.9 mmol/L H2O2 for 12 h. The proliferation of HEI-OC1 cells was observed by CCK-8 assay; the contents and activity of lactate hydrogenase (LDH), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in HEI-OC1 cells were detected by corresponding kits. Finally, the endogenous substances of cells were analyzed from the perspective of metabolomics. Compared with the model group, ELZC groups could significantly increase the cell proliferation rate after administration. Moreover, they could also ameliorate the increase of ROS and LDH content and the decrease of antioxidant enzyme SOD caused by H2O2. Metabolomic results revealed significant differences among multiple groups in the scores of partial least squares discriminant analysis. The ELZC group could relocate the model group back to the control group. The metabolic regulation of ELZC on oxidative stress in HEI-OC1 cells mainly affects nucleotide metabolism and amino acid metabolism. In summary, the results indicate that ELZC exhibits protective effects on H2O2-induced oxidative stress in HEI-OC1 cells. Additionally, this protective effect may be produced by increasing the content of amino acids such as uridine and phenylalanine, thereby regulating pathways such as pyrimidine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, and histidine metabolism.

Objective To investigate and analyze the resources and application frequency of radiological diagnosis and treatment in Jinan City in 2023 and provide a basis for the rational application of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources and strengthening radiological health protection management. Methods The health administrative department issued a work plan. A general survey was conducted on radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions (excluding dental clinics) in Jinan City using a questionnaire. The survey covered the basic information of the radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, the distribution of the radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment, the number of radiological workers, and the frequency of radiological diagnosis and treatment. Results There were 301 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Jinan City, with 1603 sets of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment and 5789 radiological workers. These institutions included 41 (13.62%) tertiary hospitals, 57 (18.94%) secondary hospitals, 110 (36.54%) primary hospitals, and 93 (30.90%) ungraded hospitals. Tertiary hospitals had the highest proportions of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment and workers, accounting for 49.53% and 69.10% of the total, respectively. The frequencies of radiological diagnosis and treatment were 868.86 X-ray diagnostic imaging examinations per 1000 population, 5.07 radiotherapies per 1000 population, 14.19 interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures per 1000 population, 7.36 nuclear medical diagnostic procedures per 1000 population, and 0.56 nuclear medical therapeutic procedures per 1000 population. The frequency of CT diagnosis was the highest, reaching 407.76 procedures per 1000 population. Conclusion The radiological diagnosis and treatment resources and activities in Jinan City were mainly concentrated in tertiary hospitals, with unbalanced distribution among hospitals of different grades. It is necessary to apply various medical radiations correctly and reasonably and strengthen radiation protection to reduce the frequency of radiation and the collective effective dose.

Objective To establish a mouse model of bronchiectasis with acute infection and evaluate the immunogenicity and protective effect of a self-assembling Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)nanoparticle vaccine rePO-FN based on fusion of PcrV-OprI(rePO)protein with self-assembling ferritin(Ferritin).Methods ① SPF-grade female C57BL/6 mice(aged 6～8 weeks,weighing 18～20 g)were randomly allocated into normal saline group,and low-,medium-and high-dose elastase groups(n=6).A mouse model of bronchiectasis was established via intratracheal instillation of different doses of elastase(30 μL of normal saline containing 0.65,1.30 and 2.60 IU elastase)for 3 consecutive days.At 14 and 21 d after modeling,ELISA and HE staining were performed respectively to detect the concentration of IL-6 and to observe pathological changes in lung tissue in order to confirm the modeling.② A recombinant plasmid encoding the gene of fusion protein rePO-FN was constructed and expressed in E.coli.The target protein was purified via affinity chromatography and renatured to obtain the desired protein.The physicochemical properties of the rePO-FN protein were characterized using SDS-PAGE protein gel electrophoresis,dynamic light scattering,molecular sieve chromatography,and transmission electron microscopy.③ C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into PBS group,rePO group,rePO-FN group,and Ferritin group(n=10).The mice in the above groups were immunized intramuscularly with 100 μL PBS buffer alone or containing 10 μg of corresponding proteins on days 0,7,and 14.ELISA was used to measure the specific antibodies in serum.In 7 d after the final immunization,an acute PA infection model was used to compare the survival rates and bacterial colonization among the PBS,rePO,and rePO-FN groups.After establishing a bronchiectasis model by intratracheal instillation of 2.60 IU of elastase in C57BL/6J mice as described above,the mice were randomly divided into bronchiectasis PBS group,bronchiectasis rePO group,and bronchiectasis rePO-FN group(n=10).Immunization was conducted at the same dose and procedure as described above,in 21 d after bronchiectasis modeling.At the 7th d after the final immunization,an acute PA infection model was used to compare the survival rates and bacterial colonization among the groups.Results ①Repeated intratracheal instillation of elastase significantly increased the concentration of IL-6 in the lung tissue when compared to the content of the normal saline group(P＜0.05).Pathological observations revealed varying degrees of bronchial wall destruction,alveolar fusion,edema,neutrophil infiltration,and hemorrhage,with the severity increasing with elastase dose,which confirming successful establishment of the mouse model of bronchiectasis.② Well-dispersed rePO-FN nanoparticles were successfully prepared,with an average particle size of 91.28 nm,a Zeta potential of approximately-6.5 mV,and a polydispersity index(PDI)of 0.306.Molecular sieve chromatography determined the elution volume of rePO-FN protein to be 8.80 mL,corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 1 400 kDa.③ Under acute PA XN-1 strain infection,the survival rate of the rePO-FN immunization group and the bronchiectasis rePO-FN immunization group were significantly higher than that of the PBS control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,bacterial colonization in the lung tissues was significantly lower in the rePO-FN immune group and the bronchiectasis rePO-FN immune group under acute PA XN-1 strain infection than that in the rePO group and the bronchiectasis rePO group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Our vaccine rePO-FN can effectively trigger a strong humoral immune response and provide significant protection against PA infection in a mouse bronchiectasis model.

Objective:To construct a program for improving care ability of caregivers for children with home enteral tube feeding (HETF) based on timing theory, and explore its preliminary effects.Methods:Based on the framework of timing theory and literature review, intervention measures to improve the care ability of caregivers for children with HETF were extracted and summarized to form a preliminary program draft. Fourteen caregivers with experience in caring for children with HETF were subjected to qualitative interviews to supplement the content of the program, and the program was revised through expert meetings to form the final draft. Non-synchronous control method was adopted, and 89 children with HETF and 89 caregivers of them admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March 2022 to February 2023 were continuously included as study subjects. The children and their caregivers included from March to August 2022 were in control group ( n=42), and the children and their caregivers included from September 2022 to February 2023 were in intervention group ( n=47), and the plan was preliminarily applied. Family Caregiver Task Inventory (FCTI) was used to evaluate the impact of the program on improving caregiver care ability. Age specific body weight z-values, height specific body weight z-values, and complications were used to evaluate the impact of the program on the growth and development of children and the incidence of tube feeding complications. The data was collected at the time of enrollment and one, two, and three months after discharge. Results:There were 66 children who completed the whole study, including 33 children in the control group and the intervention group, and 33 caregivers in each group. The application results showed that the total score of FCTI in the intervention group decreased from (25.91±2.94) at enrollment to (5.85±2.60) at three months after discharge, while the total score of FCTI in the control group decreased from (26.12±4.34) at enrollment to (12.52±3.60) at three months after discharge, and the total score of FCTI in both groups decreased over time. At one, two, and three months after discharge, the total FCTI score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At three months after discharge, the incidence of complications in children with HETF in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The program for improving care ability of caregivers for children with HETF based on timing theory is scientific and provides basis for the management of home tube feeding of children.

Objective:To describe the implementation status of home enteral nutrition (HEN) in pediatric patients, providing reference for the management of HEN in pediatric patients.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From March 2020 to May 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 161 pediatric patients who were discharged from the Children's Hospital of Fudan University and underwent HEN as participants. The survey questionnaire was designed to collect clinical data based on the research purpose.Results:Among the 161 pediatric patients who underwent HEN, congenital malformations, digestive system diseases, neurological diseases, malignant tumors, and respiratory system diseases accounted for 38.5% (62/161), 21.7% (35/161), 19.3% (31/161), 11.2% (18/161), and 9.3% (15/161), respectively. A total of 120 pediatric patients were followed up and recorded with nutritional supplements, 49 pediatric patients received whole protein nutritional supplements, 19 received amino acid nutritional supplements, 16 received whole protein nutritional supplements with homemade homogenization, 15 received short peptide nutritional supplements, seven received breast milk with whole protein nutritional supplements, five received homemade homogenization, five received animal milk, two received breast milk, and two received amino acid nutritional supplements with homemade homogenization. A total of 118 pediatric patients were followed up with tube feeding, including 107 cases using intermittent feeding, nine cases using continuous feeding, and two cases using intermittent combined continuous feeding. There were 46 children with tube slippage, nine cases of vomiting, six cases of tube blockage, three cases of abdominal pain and bloating, two cases of diarrhea, one case of nasal redness, one case of aspiration pneumonia, and one case of exudation around the stoma. After a short-term HEN, 74 cases continued to receive tube feeding, 49 cases were successfully removed from the tube and switched to oral feeding, three cases were switched to tube and oral combined feeding, five cases died due to severe illness.Conclusions:Pediatric patients undergoing HEN have a wide range of diseases and a high incidence of tube slippage. Education should be provided to family caregivers to enhance their ability to identify and handle complications, as well as to make correct choices in feeding formulations and methods. We should also establish a sound follow-up system, closely monitor the nutritional status of pediatric patients, and actively assist in preventing complications.
