OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and economics of the centrally procured generic versus original esomeprazole in the treatment of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding （ANVUGIB）. METHODS A retrospective collection of real-world clinical data was conducted for ANVUGIB patients who received treatment at Shenzhen People’s Hospital and University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from January 2018 to March 2024. Patients were divided into imported original drug group （original drug group， 221 cases） and centrally procured generic drug group （generic drug group， 75 cases） according to the types of drug used. Propensity score matching （PSM） was performed at a ratio of 3∶1 to compare the clinical efficacy， safety and economics between the two groups. RESULTS Totally 241 patients were included after PSM， with 170 in the original drug group and 71 in the generic drug group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of rebleeding rate， rate of second endoscopic intervention， blood transfusion rate， length of hospital stay， mortality due to gastrointestinal bleeding， 30-day readmission due to rebleeding， and overall survival rate （P＞0.05）. The incidence of adverse events among all patients in both groups also showed no statistically significant difference （P＞0.05）； furthermore， the adverse events reported by the respective hospitals to the National Center for ADR Monitoring were comparable between the two groups. After PSM， the median total drug cost and high-dose esomeprazole cost in the generic drug group were significantly lower than those in the original drug group， while the median nursing fee and bed fee were significantly higher than those in the original drug group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of median total hospitalization expenses， total treatment costs， laboratory fees， examination fees， material costs， or consultation fees （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The clinical efficacy and safety of centrally procured generic esomeprazole in the treatment of ANVUGIB are comparable to those of the original drug， and it is more economical.

ObjectiveTo understand the protective effect of pentavalent rotavirus （RV） vaccine in preventing infectious diarrhea among infants and young children， and to provide a basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for this population. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to follow up resident children born in Pinghu City from January 2019 to June 2021 for two years. Data on morbidity and pentavalent RV vaccine inoculation were collected to analyze the incidence density of rotavirus infection among children inoculated with different doses of the pentavalent RV vaccine， and to calculate the vaccine protection rate. ResultsA total of 5 141 resident children were surveyed， with a RV vaccination rate of 31.63% and a full vaccination rate of 30.83%. There were 154 cases of RV infection， with an incidence density of 1 392.69/100 000 person-years. Among the 875 migrant children （17.02%）， the full vaccination rate was 20.46%， while among the 4 266 local children （82.98%）， the full vaccination rate was 32.96%. The difference in full vaccination rate between migrant children and local children was statistically significant （χ²=53.209， P<0.001）. The proportions of boys and girls were 51.94% and 48.06%， respectively， with a full vaccination rate of 29.74% and 32.01%， respectively； and the difference was not statistically significant （χ²=3.111， P=0.078）. The proportions of children with normal birth weight and abnormal birth weight were 91.56% and 8.44%， respectively， with a full vaccination rate of 31.82% and 20.05%， respectingly； and the difference was statistically significant （χ²=25.852， P<0.001）. Among the 3 515 children who were not vaccinated with the pentavalent RV vaccine， 118 of which were infected， with an incidence density of 1 503.32/100 000 person-years （with an incidence rate of 3.36%）. Among the 41 children who were partially vaccinated （received only 1-2 doses）， the incidence density was 1 058.54/100 000 person-years （with an incidence rate of 2.44%）. Among the 1 585 fully vaccinated children， 35 of which were infected， with an incidence density of 1 123.96/100 000 person-years （with an incidence rate of 2.21%）； and the difference in incidence rate was statistically significant （χ²=4.988， P=0.026）. The protection rate for partial vaccination was 28.00% （95%CI：22.00%‒33.50%）， while for full vaccination was 35.10% （95%CI： 29.80%‒40.00%）. ConclusionPentavalent RV vaccination can effectively prevent rotavirus infection in infants and young children， in which the full vaccination is more effective than partial vaccination. It is recommended to strengthen the monitoring of circulating RV strains in the city， develop more targeted vaccines， and increase the RV vaccine coverage rate and full vaccination rate among infants and young children through the expansion of the national immunization program and enhancement of public education， so as to effectively reduce the incidence of infectious diarrhea in infants and young children.

【Objective】 To analyze the height growth of children aged 6 - 15 years in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide evidence for the assessment of local children′s height development. 【Methods】 A total of 25 225 children aged 6 - 15 years were selected to get their physical examination data from 41 primary schools in Nanning by stratified cluster sampling method in December 2021.Then the height data were compared with the current domestic standards. 【Results】 The average height of boys in Nanning was lower than the national standard before the age of 10 years and 7 months, and the gap with the national standard gradually narrowed after the age of 10 years and 7 months. The average height of boys in Nanning City exceeded the national standard between the age of 11 years and 1 month and 13 years and 6 months, and then lagged behind the national standard again after the age of 13 years and 7 months. The mean height of girls in Nanning City was lower than the national standard height in several age groups, and it was more obvious before the age of 9 years and 7 months. The proportion of height ≤-2s,≤-s,≥ +s and ≥+2s in boys aged 6 to 15 years in Nanning City fluctuated from 2.59% to 6.04%, 12.09% to 23.43%, 7.18% to 18.79% and 0.93% to 3.14%, respectively; the total proportions were 4.56%, 17.46%, 11.35% and 1.74%, respectively; the minimum/maximum proportion values of each height group were at 11 years old /8 years old, 14 years old/8 years old, 8 years old/12 years old, and 6 years old/11 years old, respectively. The proportions of girls aged 6 - 15 years in Nanning City with height ≤-2s, ≤-s, ≥+s, and ≥+2s fluctuated from 2.06% to 5.19%, 9.35% to 25.15%, 8.21% to 15.80% and 1.23% to 3.49%, respectively; the total proportions were 3.38%, 16.91%, 11.97% and 2.29%, respectively; and the minimum/maximum proportion values of each height group were at 13 years old/6 years old, 12 years old/6 years old, 7 years old/12 years old, and 6 years old/11 years old, respectively. 【Conclusions】 The overall height level of children in Nanning is still lower than the national level, with short prepubertal basal heights, an earlier age of onset of accelerated pubertal height, and a shorter duration of accelerated pubertal height in boys. Strengthening pre-pubertal height management and emphasizing the onset and duration of children′s pubertal development, especially the height development of boys during puberty, can help improve the adult lifelong height of children in this region.

ObjectiveTo provide reference for further strengthening the management of laboratory animals in Sichuan Province by reviewing and analyzing the results of parasitic and microbial quality inspections of laboratory animals from 2017 to 2023. Methods Sichuan Province has 31 licensed laboratory animal production units, with the main species including mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and pigs. Sampling inspections and reports were conducted for units with laboratory animal production qualifications in accordance with current national and local standards for laboratory animal classification. The quality inspection results for various laboratory animals in Sichuan Province from 2017 to 2023 were analyzed. Results With the exception of 2018, annual quality inspections of laboratory animals were conducted every year between 2017 and 2023. Mice: In 2017, positive results for helminths, flagellates, Salmonella, murine hepatitis virus antibodies, and murine pneumonia virus antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of only 42.9%. In 2019, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 86.7%. In 2021, Sendai virus antibodies were detected, yielding a pass rate of 85.7%.The pass rate in 2020, 2022, and 2023 was 100%. Rats: In 2017, positive results were found for helminths, mycoplasma antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus, Sendai virus antibodies, murine pneumonia virus antibodies, rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies, rat parvovirus (H-1) strain antibodies, and rat coronavirus antibodies, with a pass rate of 40.0%. In 2019, mycoplasma antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 35.0%. No positive indicators were detected in 2020. In 2021, Sendai virus antibodies and rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of 50.0%. In 2022, positive results for rat parvovirus RV strain antibodies were found, yielding a pass rate of 87.5%. In 2023, Pasteurella pneumotropica and Klebsiella pneumoniae were detected, with a pass rate of 85.7%. Dogs: In 2017 and 2019, the antibody titers for rabies virus and canine distemper virus were below the required standard, with pass rates of 33.3% and 20.0%, respectively. In 2020 and 2022, the pass rate was 100%. Guinea pigs (general grade): In 2019, positive results for Toxoplasma antibodies were detected, with a pass rate of 80.0%. In all other years, the pass rate was 100%. Monkeys: In 2019, positive results for Toxoplasma gondii and rhesus herpesvirus type I antibodies were found, with a pass rate of 87.5%.In 2020 and 2022, rhesus herpesvirus type I antibodies were positively detected, yielding pass rates of 93.3% and 97.5%, respectively. The pass rates in 2021 and 2023 were 100%. Clean guinea pigs, rabbits and pigs all passed the inspection each year. ConclusionIssues related to the parasitic and microbial quality of laboratory animals persist in Sichuan Province. Supervision and sampling inspections have proven to be effective in identifying these issues promptly, serving as a critical measure to ensure the quality of laboratory animals. The results of these inspections offer valuable data to support the healthy development of the laboratory animal industry in Sichuan Province.

Objective On the basis of preliminary evidence that microRNA(miR)-181b-5p inhibits osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs),the regulatory mechanism was further explored.Methods Isolation,culture and identification of BMMSCs from the bone marrow of five healthy adults.The targeting relationship between miR-181b-5p and Sprouty 4(SPRY4)was investigated by bioinformatics software prediction,double luciferase reporter gene detection,Real-time PCR and Western blotting experiments.BMMSCs were divided into three groups,miR-181b-5p overexpression negative control group;miR-181b-5p overexpression group;miR-181b-5p overexpression+SPRY4 silenced group.Alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining and ALP activity analysis were used to determine the effect of early osteogenic differentiation.The precipitation of calcium nodules was detected by alizarin red staining.The mRNA and protein expression levels of osteogenic differentiation marker genes were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting.Results BMMSCs were successfully isolated and identified.MiR-181b-5p specifically binds to the 3'UTR of SPRY4 mRNA.After overexpression of miR-181b-5p,the expression of SPRY4 protein level was significantly down-regulated,but there was no significant change in mRNA level.Knocking down the target gene SPRY4 blocked the effect of miR-181b-5p inhibitors on promoting osteogenic differentiation of cells.Conclusion MiR-181b-5p inhibits osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs by downregulating SPRY4 protein.

Objective To explore the effect of applying comprehensive interventions on promoting pathogen detec-tion before antimicrobial therapy in hospitalized patients.Methods Hospitalized patients who received therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents in a tertiary first-class hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects.Comprehensive intervention measures were implemented from January 2021.The pathogen detec-tion rates,detection classification,and detection rates of key monitored departments before antimicrobial therapy were compared between the pre-intervention group(January-December 2020)and the post-intervention group(Janu-ary-December 2021).Results A total of 10 239 hospitalized patients who received therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents were included in analysis,4 526 cases were in the pre-intervention group and 5 713 cases in the post-interven-tion group.The pathogen detection rates before antimicrobial therapy,before restricted grade antimicrobial therapy,and before special grade antimicrobial therapy after intervention were 94.56％,94.72％,and 96.03％,respective-ly,which were higher than 83.74％,84.47％,and 84.95％before intervention,with statistical significance(all P＜0.05).The detection rate of targeted pathogens after intervention was 64.87％,higher than that before interven-tion(28.04％),with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The pathogen detection rates before therapeutic use of antimicrobial agents in departments of critical care medicine,pulmonary and critical care medicine,pediatrics,neurosurgery,and general surgery after intervention were 93.20％,91.17％,92.20％,94.12％,and 91.15％,re-spectively,higher than the rates before intervention,namely 85.00％,82.19％,83.20％,83.33％,and 83.03％,respectively,with statistical significance(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of comprehensive intervention measures can improve the pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial therapy of hospitalized patients.Close atten-tion should be paid to the pathogen detection indicators related to healthcare-associated infection diagnosis and for the detection of sterile body fluid.

Rapid turnover of the intestinal epithelium is a critical strategy to balance the uptake of nutrients and defend against environmental insults, whereas inappropriate death promotes the spread of inflammation. PPARα is highly expressed in the small intestine and regulates the absorption of dietary lipids. However, as a key mediator of inflammation, the impact of intestinal PPARα signaling on cell death pathways is unknown. Here, we show that Pparα deficiency of intestinal epithelium up-regulates necroptosis signals, disrupts the gut vascular barrier, and promotes LPS translocation into the liver. Intestinal Pparα deficiency drives age-related hepatic steatosis and aggravates hepatic fibrosis induced by a high-fat plus high-sucrose diet (HFHS). PPARα levels correlate with TRIM38 and MLKL in the human ileum. Inhibition of PPARα up-regulates necroptosis signals in the intestinal organoids triggered by TNF-α and LPS stimuli via TRIM38/TRIF and CREB3L3/MLKL pathways. Butyric acid ameliorates hepatic steatosis induced by intestinal Pparα deficiency through the inhibition of necroptosis. Our data suggest that intestinal PPARα is essential for the maintenance of microenvironmental homeostasis and the spread of inflammation via the gut-liver axis.

As a recognized rare and highly fatal disease, hereditary angioedema (HAE) is difficult to diagnose and characterized by recurrent edema involving the head, limbs, genitals and larynx, etc. Diagnosis of HAE is not difficult. However, low incidence and lack of clinical characteristics lead to difficulty of doctors on timely diagnosis and correct intervention for HAE patients. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the awareness of this disease and prevent its recurrence. for HAE patients. In view of absent cognition of doctors and the general public on HAE, patients often suffer from sudden death or become disabled due to laryngeal edema which cannot be treated in time. Thus, based on the Internet mobile terminal platform, the team set up an all-day rapid emergency response system which is provided for HAE patients by setting up "one-click help". The aim is to offer optimization on overall management of HAE and designed the intelligent follow-up management to provide timely assistance and specialized suggestion for patients with acute attacks.

Allergic diseases affect about 40% of the world's population. Environmental factors are important in the occurrence and development of allergic diseases. Dust mites are one of the most important allergens in the indoor environment. The World Health Organization proposes the "four-in-one, combination of prevention and treatment" treatment principle for allergic diseases, in which environmental control to avoid or reduce allergens is the first choice for treatment. Modern people spend much more time at home (including sleeping) than outdoors, and the control of the home environment is particularly critical. This practice introduces the hypoallergenic home visit program, which including home environment assessment, environmental and behavioral intervention guidance, and common household hypoallergenic supplies and service guidance for the patient's home environment. The real-time semi-quantitative testing of dust mite allergens, qualitative assessments of other indoor allergens, record of patients' household items and lifestyle, and precise, individualized patient prevention and control education will be conducted. The hypoallergenic home visit program improves the doctors' diagnosis and treatment data dimension, and becomes a patient management tool for doctors outside the hospital. It also helps patients continue to scientifically avoid allergens and irritants in the environment, effectively build a hypoallergenic home environment, reduce exposure to allergens in the home environment, and achieve the goal of combining the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases.
