Explaining the mechanism thatChinese herb speeds up the regeneration of injured skin from the angle of inducing stem cells deserves to be studied. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Yuhong ointment on the proliferation and differentiation of ESCs during ratwound healing. DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment. SETTING: Department of Pharmacology, Wangjing Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. MATERIALS: This study was carried out in the Department of Pharmacology, Wangjing Hospital, China Academy ofChinese Medical Sciences between July and September 2006. Totally 114 healthy Wistar male adult rats, of cleangrade, weighing 180-210 g, were provided by the Laboratory Animal Center, Institute for Basic Theory of TraditionalChinese Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences were enrolled in this study. The processing ofanimals corresponded to the standard of Animal Ethics. Yuhong ointment was purchased from the PharmaceuticalCenter, Guanganmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (Lot No. 20020110). Jingwanhong wasthe product of Tianjin Darentang Da'er Pharmcaceutical Co., Ltd (Lot No. Z12020440). METHODS: The 114 rats were completely randomly chosen and divided into 3 groups with 36 in each: Yuhongointment group, Jingwanhong group and model group, and the left 6 rats were involved as normal control group. Ratsin the normal control group were raised routinely, and no intervention was carried out. Immediately after beingmodeled, rats in the Yuhong ointment group were spread with Yuhong ointment, 0.1 g each wound, rats in theJingwanhong group were spread with Jingwanhong, 0.1 g each wound. Dressing change was daily carried out twice regularly until wound healing; The wounds of rats in the model group were untouched. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: On the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th and 21st days after modeling, wound healing time of rats in eachgroup was recorded, and integrinβ1 absorbance and transcription factor p63 positive cell amount were compared. RESULTS: Totally 114 rats were involved in the final analysis.① Wound healing time of rats in the Yuhong ointmentgroup and Jingwanhong group was significantly shorter than that in the model group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05). ② Integrinβ1 absorbance and transcription factor p63 positive cell amount of modeled rats in the Yuhong ointmentgroup, Jingwanhong group and model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05); The above-mentioned two indexes in the Yuhong ointment group and Jingwanhong groupreached the peak on the 7th day, which was earlier than peak time in the model group, and peaked intensity of twoindexes was significantly higher than that in the model group, separately (P ＜ 0.05). CONCLUSION: Yuhong ointment can promote rat wound healing, which may be associated with Yuhong ointmentinducing the proliferation and differentiation of ESCS left in the wound edge.

Objective:To study the epidemiological characteristics and mixed infection of adenovirus in acute respiratory tract infections in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of adenovirus.Methods:Acute respiratory tract infections were collected from 3 hospitals in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019. Relevant information was registered and respiratory specimens were sampled for detection of respiratory pathogens by multiplex PCR.Results:A total of 1 543 cases of acute respiratory tract infection were included. The positive rate of adenovirus was 2.92%(45/1 543), the positive rates of influenza like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) were 2.74%(29/1 058) and 3.30%(16/485), respectively. The positive rate of ILI during January-May 2019 was 5.43%(7/129), higher than that in the same period of 2015- 2018 (0.52%-4.48%) (Fisher’s exact test value=8.92, P=0.036). The incidence of adenovirus-positive cases was mainly distributed in the first and second quarters, accounting for 62.22% (28/45). The difference of the incidence of adenovirus-positive cases in each quarter was significant ( χ2= 12.52, P=0.006). The positive rate in the second quarter was highest (6.03%), which was higher than that in other quarters (1.89%-2.93%). There were significant differences among different age groups ( χ2=16.94, P=0.001), and the positive rate decreased with age ( χ2=10.16, P=0.001). The positive rate of 13-19 years old group (9.43%) was higher than that of other age groups (1.48%-4.81%). The positive rate of student group (12.07%) was higher than that of other occupations (2.61%). The difference was systematic ( χ2=11.53, P=0.001). Mixed infection accounted for 31.11% (14/45) of 45 adenovirus positive cases. The mixed infection rates of ILI and SARI were 34.48% (10/29) and 25.00% (4/16), respectively. Among 14 cases of mixed infection, the main mixed infection pathogens of adenovirus were influenza A virus and coronavirus. Conclusion:Adenovirus surveillance should be further strengthened in adolescents with a focus on students and other key groups in the second quarter.

Objective To discuss the relevant mechanism of Sanqi Gel in the prevention of epidural adhesion. Method All male SD rats (n=72) were randomly divided into the normal saline water group, Zhanlianping group, carbopol gel group and Sanqi Gel group (each n=18). The model of laminectomy was established and observed at different time points after the laminectomy for 7, 14 and 21 days respectively by applying immunohistochemistry method. The expressions of transforming growth factor-β_1 (TGF-β_1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were analysed during the healing period.Result The different treating methods had different effects on the expressions of TGF-β_1 and COX-2 with different effective strength. The expression of COX-2 was higher significantly in the normal saline water group, carbopol gel group and Zhanlianping group than that in the Sanqi Gel group (P<0.05) 14 days after the operation. The expression of TGF-β_1 was higher significantly in the normal saline water group, carbopol gel group and Zhanlianping group than that in the Sanqi Gel group (P<0.05) at 3 time points (7, 14 and 21 days after the operation).Conclusion Sanqi Gel can prevent epidural adhesion through inhibiting the expressions of COX-2 and TGF-β_1.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of two treating principles and formulas, which are named 'invigorating spleen to remove phlem and promoting blood circulation to remove meridian obstruction' (Jianpi) and 'invigorate the kidney and promoting blood circulation to remove meridian obstruction' (Bushen), on the expression of osteogenic factors in steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH), such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) and Smads, as well as to explore and compare their mechanisms of prevention and treatment of SONFH.

METHODAnimal model of SONFH was established by injection with methylprednisolone in chest muscle on chickens. 48 SONFH chickens were randomly assigned to model, Jianpi and Bushen group. Another 16 normal chickens served as control group. At the 8th and 16th week, the expression of BMP2, TGFbeta1, Smad4 and Smad7 of bilateral femoral heads were detected with immunohistochemistry.

RESULTThe expression of BMP2, TGFbeta1 and Smad4 decreased, and Smad7 increased significantly in model group compared with control group. The expression of BMP2, TGFbeta1, Smad4 increased and Smad7 decreased significantly in Jianpi group at the 8th week compared with model group, and the same changes in Bushen group at the 16th week.

CONCLUSIONBoth Jianpi and Bushen formulas exerted preventive and therapeutic activity on SONFH through regulating the expression of BMP2, TGFbeta1, Smad4 and Smad7 to promote bone repair. Notably Jianpi formula took effect earlier than Bushen formula

Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has implemented an active comprehensive surveillance project of acute respiratory infections in adults in Shanghai, including influenza like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). By testing and identifying a variety of respiratory pathogens, it was found that influenza viruses were the main pathogens in 172 ILI cases in 2019. The positive rates of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus, influenza A (H3N2) virus and influenza B virus Victoria lineage were 30.81%, 14.53% and 30.55%, respectively. The positive detection of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus peaked in the first quarter. The positive rate of enterovirus/human rhinovirus was 6.40%, with a positive detection peak in the third quarter, while the positive rate of adenovirus was 4.65% with a positive detection peak in the second quarter of the year. Two human coronavirus (HCoV)-OC43 positive samples, 1 HCoV-HKU1 positive sample and 1 HCoV-NL63 positive sample were detected, respectively, and no HCoV-229E positive sample was detected. The detection rate of Staphylococcus aureus was 17.44%, and the detection rate of Klebsiellapneumoniae was 9.88%. Influenza viruses were also the main pathogens in 1 447 SARI cases. The positive rates of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus, influenza A (H3N2) virus and influenza B virus Victoria lineage were 5.46%, 1.73% and 0.30%, respectively. The positive detection of influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus (17.50%) peaked in the first quarter. The total positive detection rate of enterovirus/human rhinovirus was 2.97%, the positive detection peaked in the first quarter. The positive rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae was 3.25% and the positive rate of Legionella was 1.04%. 5 HCoV-229E positive samples, 10 HCoV-OC43 positive samples, 7 HCoV-HKU1 positive samples and 6 HCoV-NL63 positive samples were detected. Eight strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 4 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 3 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected after cultures. By implementing the active surveillance, we not only detected a case of human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9) virus in time, but also preliminary understood the pathogenic spectrum characteristics and seasonality of ILI and SARI in Shanghai. In recent years, the surveillance methods have been continuously improved and the number of sentinel hospitals has increased gradually. In particular, for the response to COVID-19, the Surveillance Information Reporting System of Acute Respiratory Infection based on HIS system has been promoted to cover the whole city, which might lay a foundation for the active surveillance and early warning of emerging infectious diseases in the future.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of imported COVID-19 cases in early phase in Shanghai, introduce measures and provide reference for prevention and control of imported COVID-19 cases.Methods:Data of imported COVID-19 cases in Shanghai reported as of 30 March, 2020 were obtained from National Notifiable Disease Report System of China CDC and field epidemiological investigation reports by CDCs in Shanghai. The information about measures of prevention and control was collected from official websites and platforms of the governments. Data cleaning and statistical analysis were performed with softwares of EpiData 3.1, Excel 2019 and SAS 9.4.Results:A total of 171 imported COVID-19 cases had been reported as of 30 March, 2020 in Shanghai, including 170 confirmed cases and 1 asymptomatic infection case. Among them, cases of Chinese nationality accounted for 71.3% (122/171) and cases of foreign nationality accounted for 28.7% (49/171). The median age of the cases was 23 years ( P 25, P 75: 18, 35 years), and the male to female ratio of the cases was 1.3∶1. Students accounted for 56.6% (97/171). About 45.6% (78/171) of the cases fell ill before arriving in Shanghai. The cases with mild or common clinical manifestation accounted for 96.5% (165/171) and no significant difference in clinical type was observed between overseas Chinese cases and foreign cases. The epidemic curve by diagnosis date reached peak on March 24, and the number of the cases gradually declined due to the closed-loop management process of joint port prevention and control mechanism. The 171 imported COVID-19 cases were mainly from 24 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom (64 cases, 37.3%), the United States (32 cases, 18.6%), France (19 cases, 11.0%) and Italy (16 cases, 9.4%). About 40.4% of the cases (69/171) planned to continue travelling to 21 other provinces and municipalities in China. Customs quarantine and community observation/detection points identified 43.9% (75/171) cases and 31.0% (53/171) cases, respectively. Conclusions:The imported COVID-19 cases in early phase in Shanghai were mainly young population and students accounted for high proportion. The imported risk of COVID-19 was consistent with the severity of the epidemic in foreign countries. The closed-loop management model of the joint port prevention and control mechanism plays an important role in the identification and management of the imported COVID-19 cases.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological and pathogenic characteristics of Legionella in artificial water environment of public places in Shanghai from 2011 to 2018, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of Legionellosis.Methods:A total of 4 817 samples of artificial water environment were collected from 31 public places in Huangpu, Jing′an, Xuhui and Songjiang districts of Shanghai from 2011 to 2108. Epidemiological characteristics of the collected years and months, regional and site types, and sample types were analyzed. After treatment, culture and isolation of the collected water samples, the positive samples were analyzed for Legionella typing characteristics.Results:The positive rate of Legionella pneumophila was 21.57% (1 039/4 817), of which 96.25% (1 000/1 039) was single type, 84.31% (876/1 039) was Legionella pneumophila type 1, followed by Legionella pneumophila type 7 and 6, which accounted for 4.72% (49/1 039) and 3.75% (39/1 039), respectively, and 29 (29/1 039) were multi-type positive. Further typing. From May to October, the highest positive rates were found in July and August, 27.61%(222/804)and 28.61% (230/804)respectively. There were significant differences between different months ( P<0.001); the highest positive rates were found in central air-conditioning cooling water and chilled water (32.40%) and there were significant differences among different water samples ( P<0.001). Legionella pneumophila type 1, type 7 and type 6 were the main diversity distribution characteristics in artificial water environment of different regions, different time, different places and different types of public places. Legionella pneumophila type 1 accounted for the highest proportion, and the proportion of positive samples under different epidemiological characteristics was more than 71.64%. Conclusion:There is relatively serious pollution of Legionella pneumophila type 1 in the artificial water environment of public places in Shanghai. It is necessary to strengthen the disinfection of cooling water/freezing water of central air conditioning in public places in July and August every year.
