Based on the analysis on protections of civil rights in public health crises, this paper reviewed some related issues about the right of life, personal liberty, etc. It was found that the system of emergency laws was not perfect, and the articles about basic civil rights protections among different laws was inconsistent, we are also lack of a comprehensive management department to coordinate crisis response. The government should perfect laws and adjust management functions to protect citizens’ legitimate rights.

Heart failure (HF) has become one of the severe public health problems.The detailed role of mitochondrial function in HF was still unclear. Benzoylaconine (BAC) is a traditional Chinese medicine, but its role in HF still needs to be explored.In this study, oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) was executed to mimic the injury of H9C2 cells in HF. The viability of H9C2 cells was assessed via MTT assay. OGD/R treatment markedly decreased the viability of H9C2 cells, but BAC treatment evidently increased the viability of OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells. The apoptosis of H9C2 was enhanced by OGD/R treatment but suppressed by BAC treatment. The mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated via JC-1 assay. BAC improved the mitochondrial function and suppressed oxidative stress in OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells. Moreover, Western blot analysis revealed that the protein expression of p-AMPK and PGC-1α were reduced in OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells, which was reversed by BAC. Rescue assays indicated that AMPK attenuation reversed the BAC-mediated protective effect on OGD/R-treated cardiomyocytes. Moreover, BAC alleviated myocardial injury in vivo. In a word, BAC modulated the mitochondrial function in OGD/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury by activation of the AMPK/PGC-1 axis. The findings might provide support for the application of BAC in the treatment of HF.

Objective To analyze the causes of revision surgery after percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) for lumbar spinal stenosis,and to provide references for indications and operative methods.Methods From January 2015 to October 2017,206,491 and 60 patients of lumbar spinal stenosis were treated with PTED in Tianjin Hospital,Shanxi People's Hospital,Ningbo Sixth Hospital,respectively;among them,4,10 and 4 cases received revision surgery.Another 13 patients of lumbar spinal stenosis were treated with revision surgery due to poor results after PTED in other hospitals.Among 31 cases of reoperation,there were 16 males and 15 females,aged 27-82 years (average,66.2±12.7 years).The lesion segments included 1 case of L3,4,23 cases of L4,5,5 cases of L5S1,1 cases of L3-L5,and 1 cases of L4-S1.Patients were followed up after reoperation from 3 to 24 months (average,12.1 months).The causes of poor result and revision surgery were analyzed according to preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative data.Results All of 757 cases of lumbar spinal stenosis were treated with PTED in three hospitals,of which 18 cases (2.4％) were re-operated.The causes of reoperation included:bone slice displacement in 1 case;nerve injury in 4 cases;lumbar instability in 4 cases;disc protrusion in 10 cases (residual or recurrence);insufficient decompression in 21 cases;planed staging operation in 4 cases with bilateral or two-level stenosis.32 revision surgeries were performed for 31 patients,including PTED in 15 cases,microendoscopic discectomy (MED) in 1 case,mobile MED (MMED) in 5 cases,MMED assisted fusion in 2 cases,transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in 4 cases,Minimally invasive TLIF (Mis-TLIF) in 2 cases,and open decompression and fusion in 3 cases.All patients experienced relieve of symptoms after revision surgery.At final follow-up,VAS leg pain deceased form 7.1±3.9 before revision surgeries to 1.9±1.2,VAS low back pain decreased form 6.3±3.2 to 1.8±1.3,ODI score decreased from 35％± 14％ to 7.6％±5％.According to the MacNab score,the result was excellent in 11 cases,good in 16 cases,and fair in 4 cases.Conclusion The treatment of lumbar stenosis with PTED has high technical requirements,the indications of PTED for lumbar stenosis should be strictly controlled according to technical conditions,and appropriate operative methods should be chosen according to the specific conditions of the lesions.Insufficient decompression,disc protrusion,lumbar instability and nerve injury are the common causes of reoperation.Suitable indications and proper operation should be selected.

Objective:To compare the effects on DNA strand break induced by ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) electron beam and conventional irradiation, and investigate whether FLASH effect was correlated with a reduction of radiation response.Methods:Aqueous pBR322 plasmid was treated with FLASH (125 Gy/s) and conventional irradiation (0.05 Gy/s) under physioxia (4% O 2) and normoxia (21% O 2). Open circle DNA and linear DNA were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the plasmid DNA damage was quantified with an established mathematical model to calculate the relative biological effect (RBE) of DNA damage. In some experiments, Samwirin A (SW) was applied to scavenge free radicals generated by ionizing radiation. Results:Under physioxia, the yields of DNA strand breakage induced by both FLASH and conventional irradiation had a dose-dependent manner. FLASH irradiation could significantly decrease radiation-induced linear DNA compared with conventional irradiation ( t=5.28, 5.79, 7.01, 7.66, P<0.05). However, when the aqueous plasmid was pretreated with SW, there was no difference of DNA strand breakage between FLASH and conventional irradiation ( P>0.05). Both of the yields of open circle DNA and linear DNA had no difference caused by FLASH and conventional radiotherapy at normoxia, but were significantly higher than those under physioxia. In addition, the yields of linear DNA and open circle DNA induced by FLASH irradiation per Gy were (2.78±0.03) and (1.85±0.17) times higher than those of conventional irradiation, respectively. Conclusions:FLASH irradiation attenuated radiation-induced DNA damage since a low production yield of free radical in comparison with conventional irradiation, and hence the FLASH effect was correlated with oxygen content.

Objective:To compare the radiation chemistry effects on water molecules after ultra-high dose rate (FLASH) and conventional irradiation.Methods:Both FLASH and conventional irradiation were applied to ultrapure water, with the hydroxyl radical yield in the homogeneous phase detected using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and the hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) yield in the diffusion phase analyzed uuxing fluorescence probe. The liposome model was then established to investigate the radiation chemistry effect of FLASH and conventional irradiation in inducing lipid peroxidation. Results:Radiation chemistry reactions were observed in water molecules after irradiation. In the homogeneous phase, the yield of free radicals using FLASH irradiation is similar to those from conventional irradiation ( P>0.05). In the diffusion phase, the amount of H 2O 2 produced by FLASH irradiation was significantly lower than those from conventional irradiation ( t=0.49-12.81, P<0.05). The liposome model confirmed that conventional irradiation could significantly induce lipid peroxidation through the radiation chemistry effect in water molecules as compared with FLASH irradiation ( t=0.31-11.73, P<0.05). Conclusions:The radiation chemistry effect in water molecules after FLASH irradiation was significantly lower than that from conventional irradiation. This could be one of the mechanisms of FLASH effect.

FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) has garnered considerable attention globally in recent years. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, FLASH-RT can deliver the total radiation dose to the target volume in an extremely short time, reducing the radiation-induced damage to normal tissue while maintaining similar anti-tumor effects. FLASH-RT has been in the clinical trial stage, with several clinical research result being reported. Based on the collected global clinical research result of FLASH-RT in recent years, this study systematically reviewed FLASH-RT′s safety, radiation-related side effects, treatment efficacy, opportunities, and challenges in clinical trials.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and diagnostic value of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for the evaluation and comparison of aspartate aminotransferas/platelet ratio index (APRI), fibrosis 4 indexes (FIB-4) and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) with liver fibrosis staging in relation to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:103 cases with NAFLD who met the inclusion criteria confirmed by liver biopsy were selected for retrospective analysis. The results of serological tests and LSM were recorded. The APRI, FIB-4 and NFS were calculated. The accuracy and applicability of four liver fibrosis models in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in NAFLD patients were compared with the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), and the diagnostic cut-off value of LSM was established.Results:Varying degrees of LSM, APRI, FIB-4 and NFS had shown positive correlations with the increasing degree of liver fibrosis. Among them, LSM was positively correlated with the degree of liver fibrosis, and the correlation coefficient was r = 0.727, P < 0.0001. Consistent with this, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, and specificity of LSM diagnosis of liver fibrosis in different stages was significantly higher than APRI, FIB-4 and NFS. Area under receiver operating characteristic curve of LSM was 0.862 and 0.928 for significant liver fibrosis ( f ≥ 2), and advanced liver fibrosis ( f ≥ 3). Conclusion:LSM has a good diagnostic exclusion value for NAFLD-induced fibrosis, and its sensitivity and specificity are better than APRI, FIB-4 and NFS.

Objective: To construct Bayes discriminant function for clinical classification of common and severe Japanese encephalitis (JE) cases, and to identify cases accurately with quantitative indicators. Methods: Samples of confirmed common and severe JE cases reported by the epidemic surveillance system of Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2005 to 2017 were collected. Non-conditional logistic regression analysis and Bayes stepwise discriminant analysis were used to screen meaningful clinical indicators, so as to construct and evaluate Bayes discriminant function. Results: There were 256 common JE cases and 257 severe JE cases. There were no significant differences in sex, age and occupation distributions between the two groups (P>0.05) and there was significant difference in case fatality rate (P<0.05). Non-conditional logistic regression analysis and Bayes stepwise discriminant analysis, combined with using related literature, to screen 11 clinical indicators for the construction of Bayes discriminant function. Interactive validation showed that the sensitivity of discriminant function was 71.48% (95%CI: 65.53%-76.93%) and the specificity was 73.93% (95%CI: 68.11%-79.19%). The area under ROC curve was 0.761 (95%CI: 0.720-0.803) and the total accuracy rate was 72.71%. Conclusion Bayes discriminant function can be used to identify common and severe JE cases more accurately, which is helpful for the reasonable treatment and good prognosis of JE patients.
