ObjectiveTo construct an animal model of respiratory syncytial virus（RSV）-infected pneumonia suitable for preclinical studies. MethodsThe virulence of RSV to the four cell lines was observed by cytopathic effect （CPE）， and 50% tissue culture infective dose（TCID₅₀） was calculated. Twenty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a normal group and a model group. Six BALB/c-hIGF1R mice served as the humanized IGF1R model group. Except for the normal group， the other groups received intranasal RSV infection on days 1 and 3 to establish a viral pneumonia model. The efficacy of establishing an RSV-induced pneumonia animal model based on humanized insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor （IGF1R） mice was evaluated by measuring organ indices， peripheral blood lymphocyte percentages， pulmonary pathology and imaging， and pulmonary viral load. Additionally， ten BALB/c mice served as normal group， and thirty-two BALB/c-hIGF1R mice were randomly assigned to humanized IGF1R model group， ribavirin group （82.5 mg·kg^-¹·d^-¹）， and high and low dose groups of Lianhua Qingwen （3.3 mg·kg^-¹·d^-¹ ， 1.65 mg·kg^-¹·d^-¹）， with 8 mice per group. The viral load in lung tissue was measured after ribavirin and Lianhua Qingwen intervention， and the model was applied to the evaluation of anti-RSV drugs. ResultsIn the lungs of the humanized IGF1R model group， large solid and diffuse ground-glass shadows were seen， and the lung volume was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The lung index was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and both the spleen index and thymus index were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The percentages of CD3⁺ and CD4⁺T cells were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and there was a large amount of inflammation and stasis in the perivascular area of the lung tissue， which was predominantly characterized by lymphocytes. The endothelium of blood vessels was partially detached， with a small number of eosinophils. After infecting BALB/c-hIGF1R mice with RSV， the expression of viral nucleic acids in the lung tissue of the mice was significantly increased， with significant differences compared with the normal group （P<0.01）. The expression of viral nucleic acids in the ribavirin group and the high and low dose groups of Lianhua Qingwen was significantly reduced， with significant differences compared with the normal group （P<0.01）. ConclusionHumanized IGF1R mice are more susceptible to respiratory SVC， and the animal model of RSV-infected pneumonia based on humanized IGF1R mice was successfully constructed， which is suitable for the evaluation of anti-RSV drugs.

Forsythia suspensa is a traditional Chinese medicine and a commonly used landscaping plant. Its dried fruit is used in medicine for its functions of clearing heat, removing toxins, reducing swelling, dissipating masses, and dispersing wind and heat. It possesses extremely high medicinal and economic value. However, the genetic differentiation and diversity of its wild populations remain unclear. In this study, chloroplast genome sequences were obtained from 15 wild individuals of F. suspensa using high-throughput sequencing technology. The sequence characteristics and intraspecific variations were analyzed. The results were as follows:(1) The full length of the F. suspensa chloroplast genome ranged from 156 184 to 156 479 bp, comprising a large single-copy region, a small single-copy region, and two inverted repeat regions. The chloroplast genome encoded a total of 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes.(2) A total of 166-174 SSR loci, 792 SNV loci, and 63 InDel loci were identified in the F. suspensa chloroplast genome, indicating considerable genetic variation among individuals.(3) Population structure analysis revealed that F. suspensa could be divided into five or six groups. Both the population structure analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction results indicated significant genetic variation within the wild populations of F. suspensa, with no obvious correlation between intraspecific genetic differentiation and geographical distribution. This study provides new insights into the genetic diversity and differentiation within F. suspensa species and offers additional references for the conservation of species diversity and the utilization of germplasm resources in wild F. suspensa.

OBJECTIVES: To develop a quality control indicator system for neonatal screening of inherited metabolic diseases in obstetric settings, so as to provide a standardized tool for quality control in clinical neonatal screening of inherited metabolic diseases. METHODS: From March to May 2024, a literature review combined with expert clinical experience was conducted to develop a preliminary questionnaire on quality control indicators for neonatal screening of inherited metabolic diseases. The final indicator system was established after two rounds of the Delphi method, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process was used to determine indicator weights. RESULTS: Sixteen questionnaires were distributed in each of the two consultation rounds, with a valid response rate of 100% for both. The expert authority coefficients were 0.863 and 0.876, respectively. Kendall's coefficient of concordance for the importance and feasibility of the indicators ranged from 0.091 to 0.125. The final indicator system comprised 3 primary indicators, 8 secondary indicators, and 28 tertiary indicators for neonatal screening of inherited metabolic diseases in obstetric settings. CONCLUSIONS The quality control indicator system developed using the Delphi method demonstrates a strong systematic structure, high clinical adaptability, and strong operability, and can be effectively applied to quality control in neonatal screening of inherited metabolic diseases in obstetric settings.

Objective: To investigate the occupational delay of gratification among community healthcare workers and its influencing factors, so as to provide insights into the sustainable development of primary healthcare personnel. Methods: The in-service community healthcare workers from 5-7 community health service centers in 9 cities (prefectures) of Guizhou Province were selected using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Gender, age, and educational level and other basic information were collected through questionnaire surveys. The status of occupational delay of gratification was investigated using the Occupational Delay of Gratification Scale. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of occupational delay of gratification. Results: A total of 2 076 respondents were surveyed, including 367 males (17.68%) and 1 709 females (82.32%). There were 112 respondents (5.39%) with secondary vocational school degree or below, 872 respondents (42.00%) with junior college degree, 1 087 respondents (52.36%) with bachelor's degree, and 5 respondents (0.24%) with master's degree or above. There were 665 respondents (32.03%) with managerial positions. The monthly income of 1 705 respondents (82.13%) was ≤5 000 Yuan. The total score of occupational delay of gratification was (33.22±4.33) points, and the total average score was (2.77±0.36) points. The average scores of work delay, career delay and persistence were (2.67±0.48), (2.96±0.45) and (2.75±0.46) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis identified educational level (junior college, β=0.089; bachelor's degree, β=0.088), management position (not have, β=-0.046) and monthly income (>6 000 Yuan, β=0.085) as factors affecting occupational delay of gratification (all P<0.05). Conclusion The community healthcare workers with an education below secondary vocational school, no management position and lower income have relatively lower level of occupational delay of gratification.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of crocin tablets （CRO） combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin in the prevention of acute cardiotoxicity in the patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma （DLBCL） and explore the related mechanism. MethodThe patients with DLBCL treated in the Huangshi Central Hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected， and 92 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group at a ratio of 1∶1， with 46 patients in each group. The control group underwent conventional intravenous infusion of doxorubicin， and the observation group received CRO combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin. The changes of abnormal ECG， myocardial injury markers， cardiac function indicators， oxidative stress， inflammatory mediators， and hemorheological indexes before and after chemotherapy were compared between the two groups. ResultThe incidence of abnormal ECG in the observation group was 23.91% （11/46）， which was lower than that （54.35%， 25/46） in the control group （χ²=8.944， P<0.01）. On day 8 after chemotherapy， the abnormal rates of creatine kinase-MB （CK-MB） and cardiac troponin I （cTnI） in the observation group were lower than those in the control group （χ²=4.423， 4.857， both P<0.05）. Compared with the control group after chemotherapy， the observation group showed lowered level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide， elevated left ventricular ejection fraction and levels of total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase （P<0.01）， declined levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α （P<0.01）， and decreased low whole blood viscosity， high whole blood viscosity， plasma viscosity， and fibrinogen （P<0.01）. ConclusionCRO combined with micropump infusion of doxorubicin can mitigate acute cardiotoxicity， reduce the incidence of abnormal ECG， protect cardiomyocytes， and improve the cardiac function by exerting the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and improving blood flow.
