Objective To investigate the changes of enteric nervous system in gastrointestinal motility disorder in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) as well as the influence of Chaishao Chengqi Decoction on neuronal nitric oxide synthase neuron (nNOS) neuron expression in myenteric plexus of rat intestinal tract. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 for each): sham operation group, model group and Chaishao Chengqi Decoction (CSCQD) group. SAP model was established in taurocholate into the junction of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. Model group was administered with normal saline and CSCQD group was administered with Chaishao Chengqi Decoction. The gastrointestinal transmission time was observed. Pathological changes of the pancreas were examined with HE staining under light microscope. The neuronal nitric oxide synthase neurons in the small intestines and colonic myenteric plexus were detected by the dual immunofluorescent staining. Results Compared with that in model group, transmission index was increased in CSCQD group (P<0.05). The pathological lesion of the pancreas in CSCQD group was significantly lessened (P<0.05). The percentage of NOS-immunoreactive neurons was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion By reversing the plasticity of NOS-immunoreactive neurons, Chaishao Chengqi Decoction improves the gastrointestinal motility in rats with SAP and reduces the pathological damages of the pancreas.

OBJECTIVE: To probe the role of clinical pharmacists in drug use of patients with severe pneumonia. METHODS: Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment for a patient with ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae severe pneumonia. The patient was given cefoperazone tazobactam combined with moxifloxacin and ganciclovir initially. Clinical pharmacists suggested stopping cefoperazone tazobactam and moxifloxacin and additionally using meropenem according to the elevation of hemogram infection indexes; suggested stopping ganciclovir and continuously using meropenem according to the results of sputum culture; suggested providing cefoperazone sulbactam de-escalation sequential therapy for ESBLs producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and stopping cefoperazone sulbactam and azithromycin according to clinical symptoms of the patient. RESULTS: The physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. After treatment, body temperature and lab indexes of the patient recovered to normal; the result of sputum culture turned to negative. Chest CT showed that the infection focus was obviously absorbed compared to before. After discharged from hospital and followed up, the patient was found to have a good prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Through actively participating in drug therapy, based on lab indexes and results of sputum culture, clinical pharmacists provide pharmaceutical care and adjust medication plan to improve treatment rate of patients with severe pneumonia and the safety and effectiveness of drug treatment, be of great significance to promote the rational use of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the susceptibility of Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus to oral infection with bat Japanese encephalitis virus isolates (GD1 and HN2 strains).

METHODSAedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus were infected orally by GD1 and HN2 strains of bat Japanese encephalitis virus. TaqMan real-time PCR was used to detect the virus and monitor the changes in the viral loads in Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus at a 2-day interval, starting from 4 days till 20 days after the infection.

RESULTSThe infected Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus were found positive for the Japanese encephalitis virus from day 4 to day 20. Both Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus were susceptible to infection by GD1 and HN2 strains, but the latter showed a greater susceptibility. The HN2 strain virus appeared to have a greater virulence than the GD1 strain.

CONCLUSIONAedes albopictus and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus can carry GD1 and HN2 strains of bat Japanese encephalitis virus isolates.

Objective To investigate the depression of patients with Meniere disease after surgery ,and the relationships to vertigo and the improvement of the quality of life .Methods A total of 46 patients with Meniere dis-ease and 95 patients with other diseases of otorhinolaryngology (as control) were enrolled in this retrospective stud-y .They underwent operations between 2013 and 2015 .They finished self -rating depression scales ,Meniere dis-ease outcomes questionaire by snail mail .They were asked about the frequencies of vertigo before and after surgery . The gender ,age and postoperative course in the control group were matched to those of in the Meniere group .The relationships among vertigo ,the improvement of the quality of life and postoperative depression were compared .Re-sults In the Meniere group ,69 .77％ of patients did not have depression ,while 13 .95％ were with mild depres-sion ,16 .28％ with moderate ,none with severe .Depression was more severe in the Meniere group than in the con-trol group .There were no obvious linear relationships between vertigo and depression or between quality of life and depression .There was no statistical difference in depression of patients with different vertigo frequencies .Conclusion There is still a certain degree of postoperative depression in near 30％ of patients with Meniere disease after sur-gery .This may not be related to vertigo nor the quality of life .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence of serum antibodies against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in bats.

METHODSBlood samples from the heart were obtained from bats captured in Guangdong and Hainan Provinces in 2013. The anti-JEV antibodies in bat sera were tested using indirect ELISA and virus neutralization test.

RESULTSA total of 201 bat serum samples were tested, in which the total positivity rate of anti-JEV antibodies was 46.27% (93/201). The positive rate of anti-JEV antibodies in bats from Hainan and Guangdong Provinces was 88.89% (48/54) and 30.61% (45/147), respectively. All the samples from Rousettus leschenaultia, Miniopterus schreibersii, Pipistrellus abramus, and Rhinolophus macrotis were positive for anti-JEV antibodies, and up to 95.56% (43/45) of the samples from Miniopterus schreibersii (from Hainan Province) yielded positive results. Of the 28 samples with positive results by indirect ELISA, 15 showed positive results in virus neutralization test (53.57%) with neutralization antibody titers ranging from 1:10 to 1:28.22.

CONCLUSIONBats from different regions and of different species can be naturally infected with JEV and have a high prevalence of anti-JEV antibodies in their sera. The role of bats in the natural cycle of JEV awaits further study.

Objective: To analyze the trends and influencing factors of endurance performance of 19-22 years old college students in Hunan Province from 1985 to 2019, so as to provide objective and scientific basis for sports and health work in colleges and universities. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 14 490 college students aged 19-22 in Hunan Province from 8 consecutive National Student Physical Fitness and Health Surveys conducted from 1985 to 2019. The analysis indexes were 1 000 m running for boys and 800 m running for girls. Results: From 1985 to 2019, the endurance running time of 19-22 years old Han college students in Hunan Province showed an obvious trend of decline. The 1 000 m running time of urban and rural male students increased by 41.9 and 45.4 s on average, and the 800 m running time of urban and rural female students increased by 29.5 and 30.6 s on average, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age ( β =0.17), urban students (rural students as reference; β =0.44), GDP ( β =0.94) and urbanization level ( β = 0.44 ) were positively correlated with the average endurance running time of males. Urban students ( β =0.92), GDP ( β = 1.38 ) and Engel coefficient ( β =0.93) were positively correlated with the average endurance running time of females. BMI ( β =-0.47) was negatively correlated with the females mean time of endurance running ( P ＜0.05). Conclusion The endurance performance of Han college students in Hunan Province showed a declining trend from 1985 to 2019,which is associated with age, urban and rural distribution, regional GDP, Engel s coefficient, urbanization level and BMI. Effective measures should be taken to improve the physical quality of college students.

To investigate the postoperative anxiety and its relationship with life quality in patients with Ménière's diseases.
 Methods: A total of 68 patients with Ménière's disease, who received the treatment of endolymphatic sac decompression from 2010 to 2016, were enrolled. They finished two scales (the self-rating anxiety scale and the quality of life questionnaire for endolymphatic sac decompression of Ménière's disease) by snail mail. The patients were divided into different groups based on their preoperative course, postoperative follow-up time, clinic stage and quality of life after endolymphatic sac decompression surgery, and their anxiety was analyzed. In addition, 109 gender and age-matched patients with other diseases of otorhinolaryngology served as the control group, and their anxiety was also analyzed.
 Results: There was no statistical difference in the postoperative anxiety among the patients with preoperative course for less than 1 year, 1 to 5 years or more than 5 years (all P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the patients with different duration of follow-up (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the patients with the different clinic stages (all P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the patients with the improved life or non-improved life after surgery (P>0.05). The degree of the anxiety in the Ménière's group was more severe than that in the control group (P<0.01).
 Conclusion: It needs to keep in mind that a certain degree of postoperative anxiety still keeps in patients with Ménière's disease.
