BACKGROUND:In recent years,with the rapid development of biomedicine,the study of brain aging and exosomes has attracted more and more attention,but there is no bibliometrics analysis in this field. OBJECTIVE:To objectively analyze domestic and foreign literature on brain aging and exosomes in the past 15 years,to summarize the research status,hot spots,and development trends in this field. METHODS:Using the core database of Web of Science as a search platform,we downloaded the literature on brain aging and exosomes published from the establishment of the database to December 28,2022,and analyzed the data from the aspects of country or region,institution,author,keywords,and co-cited literature using CiteSpace 6.1.R6 visualization software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 1 045 research articles were included,and the number of publications on brain aging and exosomes research both domestically and internationally was showing an increasing trend year by year.The United States ranked first with 429 papers,and China ranked second with 277 papers.Louisiana State University ranked first with 16 articles.Professor Lukiw Walter J from Louisiana State University in the United States was the author with the highest number of publications,and Professor Bartel DP from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was the author with the most citations.The most prolific Journal was the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.Alzheimer's disease,microRNA,gene expression,extracellular vesicles,exosomes,oxidative stress,and biomarkers are the most relevant terms.According to the research on hot topics,biomarkers have become a new research hotspot.The above results indicate that the research on brain aging and exosomes has gradually increased in the past 15 years.The research direction has gradually shifted from the initial exploration of the expression of miRNAs in central nervous system diseases related to brain aging to the search for biomarkers that can identify and diagnose neurodegenerative diseases.The study of exocrine miRNAs to protect central nervous system from damage has emerged as promising therapeutic strategy.

Objective To explore the epidemic characteristics of common pneumonia pathogens in preschool children in Xining area and analyze the influencing factors of progression to severe pneumonia. Methods A total of 522 preschool children with pneumonia who were treated in our hospital from May 2021 to March 2024 were retrospectively selected as the research subjects. Sputum samples from children were taken to identify the pathogens and analyze their pathogenic epidemic characteristics.According to the diagnostic criteria in the 2019 version of ^“Standards for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Children^”, determine whether it is severe pneumonia, and collect the clinical data of the children.Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the progression of common pneumonia to severe pneumonia. Results Among the 522 children with pneumonia, 522 cases were infected with pathogens, of which 447 cases were single infection (85.63%), 75 cases were mixed infection (14.36%). A total of 597 pathogens were detected, including 257 viruses (43.05%), 240 bacteria (40.20%), 68 mycoplasma pneumoniae (11.39%) and 32 chlamydia pneumoniae (5.36) . The detection rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae (149, 24.96%) and respiratory syncytial virus (118, 19.77%) were higher. Logistic regression results showed that length of hospital stay (OR=2.235, 95% CI: 1.552-3.439), ICU admission (OR=2.426, 95% CI: 1.769-3.881), intestinal microbiota disorder (OR=1.626, 95% CI: 1.335-2.842), multi-drug resistance (OR=2.086, 95%CI 1.417-2.905), mixed infection (OR=3.134, 95% CI : 2.217-8.857), nutritional risk (OR=2.783, 95% CI: 2.038-4.764), CRP (OR=2.589, 95% CI: 1.805-4.117), PCT (OR=1.486, 95%CI: 1.077-1.649), and white blood cells (OR=1.329, 95% CI: 1.021-1.536) were all associated with the risk of severe pneumonia (P<0.05). Conclusion The main pathogens of pneumonia in preschool children in Xining are Streptococcus pneumoniae and respiratory syncytial virus. Paying attention to the treatment of children with intestinal disorders, multiple infections, and malnutrition is of great significance to improve the progression of pneumonia.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the clinical features of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) accompanied by axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) .Methods:A descriptive case series study was conducted. Consecutive IBD patients with ax-SpA admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to December 2023 were enrolled, and the clinical data were collected and analyzed descriptively.Results:A total of 21 IBD patients with ax-SpA were enrolled, including 14 males (66.7%) and 7 females (33.3%). The median age at IBD diagnosis was 29 (24, 42) years. Among them, 10 had ulcerative colitis (UC) and 11 had Crohn's disease (CD). In 11 patients (52.4%), ax-SpA was diagnosed before IBD, while in 7 patients (33.3%), IBD was diagnosed before ax-SpA; the remaining 3 patients (14.3%) were diagnosed simultaneously. Thirteen patients (61.9%) had other extraintestinal manifestations, with 12 involving mucocutaneous manifestations. Nineteen patients including 9 UC and 10 CD were followed up for a median duration of 34 (12, 57) months. Among UC patients, 5 (55.6%) were escalated from conventional therapy to biologics or small-molecule drugs, and 6 (66.7%) developed opportunistic infections. Among CD patients, 3 (30.0%) were escalated to biologic therapy, and 2 (20.0%) developed opportunistic infections. Three patients (15.8%) underwent intestinal resection surgery.Conclusions:IBD patients with ax-SpA are predominantly male, with a similar proportion of UC and CD. There is no clear sequential pattern in the diagnosis timing of IBD and ax-SpA. These patients often present with other extraintestinal manifestations of IBD, primarily mucocutaneous manifestations.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition status of children aged 8 - 10 and pregnant women in Xining City, Qinghai Province.Methods:From 2019 to 2021, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to divide 7 counties (districts) under the jurisdiction of Xining City, Qinghai Province into 5 sampling areas according to east, west, south, north, and center each year. One township (town, street) was selected from each area. Forty non boarding students aged 8 to 10 from each primary school (half male and half female, age balanced) and 20 pregnant women from each township (town, street) location were selected to collect edible salt samples at home and a random urine sample to measure salt iodine and urinary iodine level. B-ultrasound was used to measure thyroid volume in children and the goiter rate was calculated.Results:A total of 6 534 samples of household edible salt were collected from children and pregnant women, with an average salt iodine concentration of 25.58 mg/kg. The coverage rate of iodized salt was 97.50% (6 371/6 534), and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 89.46% (5 845/6 534). A total of 4 362 urine samples were collected from children, with a median urinary iodine level of 183.10 μg/L. The difference between different years was statistically significant ( H = 20.27, P < 0.001). A total of 2 169 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urinary iodine level of 168.90 μg/L. The difference between different years was statistically significant ( H = 107.09, P < 0.001). A total of 3 336 cases of thyroid gland examination were conducted in children, including 33 cases of thyroid enlargement, with a goiter rate of 0.99%. There was a statistically significant difference between different years (χ 2 = 15.00, P < 0.001). Conclusion:From 2019 to 2021, children aged 8 to 10 and pregnant women in Xining City are at an appropriate level of iodine, and the achievements in prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders still need to be continuously consolidated.

Objective:By sequencing and analyzing the biliary flora by 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology,to identify the main flora associated with gallbladder stone formation and the main flora regulated by the Dahuang lingxian(DHLX),pre-liminary investigation the effect of DHLX on the biliary flora.Methods:The 50 male guinea pigs were randomly divided into Normal group,Model group,DHLX group.There were 15 guinea pigs in the normal group and 20 guinea pigs in the DHLX group,and 20 guin-ea pigs in the model group:the guinea pig model of gallstone was replicated with high-fat lithogenic diet,which was simultaneously ad-ministrated by gavage.After continuous intervention for 8 weeks,bile and gallbladder tissue samples were collected,and the gallstone formation rate of guinea pigs in each group was calculated,the pathological morphological changes of gallbladder tissue were detected by HE,T-CHO,TBA,LPS,IL-6,TNF-α were detected by ELISA,and the changes of biliary flora were detected by 16S rDNA;the correlation between biliary flora and bile index was detected by Pearson statistical method.Results:The stone formation rate of guinea pigs in the normal group was 8.3%,the rate of model stone composition was 90.8%,and the stone composition rate of DHLX group was 36.4%,and the HE staining results showed that compared with the normal group,the mucous membrane of the guinea pig in the model group was thickened,the columnar epithelial cells were arranged in a large number of inflammatory cells,and the columnar epi-thelial cells of the gallbladder mucosa in the chinese medicine group were arranged neatly compared with the model group,the thick-ness of the mucosa was reduced compared with the model group,and some inflammatory cells were infiltrated;ELISA results showed that compared with the normal group,the expressions of T-CHO,LPS,IL-6 and TNF-α in the bile of guinea pigs in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01),while the content of TBA was significantly reduced(P<0.01);compared with the model group,the expression of LPS and IL-6 in the bile of the DHLX group were significantly reduced(P<0.01).The results of 16S rDNA showed that compared with the normal group the Ace index and Chao1 index of the model group were significantly reduced(P<0.01),and the Chao1 index of the DHLX group was significantly higher than that of the model group(P<0.05);biliary flora at the genera level was mainly composed of Burkholderia,Sphingomycetes,Breghamus,Delfortella,Pseudomonas;correlation analysis showed that total cholesterol was negatively correlated with the abundance of Methyloversatilis(P<0.05),and total bile acids were positively corre-lated with the abundance of Burkholderia(P<0.05),and Pseudomonas erythrocytes,Rhizobia,the abundance of Phreatobacter was negatively correlated(P<0.01)and LPS was positively correlated with the abundance of Pseudomonas erythrocytes(P<0.01).Conclu-sion:Biliary microflora disorder exists in the formation of biliary stones,and biliary microflora may participate in the formation of stones by regulating cholesterol,bile acids and LPS.DHLX can regulate the changes in the abundance of the microflora,make the structure of the microflora become normal,reduce the inflammation of the gallbladder,and prevent the formation of gallstones.

Objective To review the characteristics of Rhizopus microsporus infection for better awareness of the disease.Methods One case of pneumonia caused by R.microsporus was reported in a 66-year-old male patient.Similar reports on infections caused by R.microsporus were retrieved in PubMed and CNKI databases since 2013.The characteristics of patients with R.microsporus infection were reviewed.Results This case involves a 66-year-old male patient presenting with a 10-day history of cough,sputum production,and hemoptysis.The patient had a previous history of diabetes mellitus.Pulmonary CT scan revealed an irregular soft tissue density mass in the right lower lobe and pneumonia.The clinical presentation and laboratory findings were consistent with pulmonary mucormycosis caused by R.microsporus.R.microsporus was isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture.The patient was treated with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B followed by oral posaconazole for antifungal therapy,and achieved a favorable prognosis.A total of 24 cases(18 males,5 females,1 unknown)of R.microsporus infection were reviewed(including this one).The specific site of infection included pulmonary infection(n=10),ocular infection(n=1),skin tuberculosis(n=1),splenic abscess(n=1),oral mucositis(n=1),gouty arthritis(n=1),esophageal ulceration(n=1),abdominal infection(n=1),and others(n=7).The clinical symptoms varied with the organs involved.Majority of the patients(n=11)were cured by surgery combined with antimicrobial therapy.Overall,13 patients died.Conclusions Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of R.microsporus infection in case of pulmonary infection,especially those with diabetes mellitus.

Objective:To explore the application effect of risk anticipation and coping intervention model in patients with cervical spondylosis undergoing anterior decompression and bone grafting with internal fixation.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 132 patients with cervical spondylosis who underwent the aforementioned surgical procedure at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2022 and June 2024. Patients admitted between January 2022 and March 2023 ( n=66) formed the control group and received routine nursing care, while those admitted between April 2023 and June 2024 ( n=66) formed the observation group and received nursing interventions based on the risk anticipation and coping model. Both groups were followed until three months after discharge. Pain intensity, swallowing function, nutritional status, cervical spine function, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results:Pain scores were lower in the observation group than in the control group at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively ( P<0.05) . At 24 and 48 hours postoperatively, the observation group had significantly better scores on the Kubota Water Swallowing Test compared to the control group ( P<0.05) . On the day before discharge and three months post-discharge, body mass index, plasma albumin, total protein, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, and quality of life score were all significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The risk anticipation and coping intervention model can effectively reduce postoperative pain and improve swallowing function in patients undergoing anterior decompression and bone grafting with internal fixation for cervical spondylosis. It also promotes the recovery of cervical spine function and enhances quality of life.
