Objective:To compare the analgesic effect between living rhino horn and rhino horn in mice and rats,and to explore the possibility of living rhino horn used as a substitute of rhino horn. Methods:The analgesic effect was compared using the body tor-sion method and the formaldehyde method in mice,and the hot plate method and the thermal sting imager method in rats. Results:Compared with the control group,the living rhino horn at the dose of 0. 35,0. 7 and 1. 4 g·kg - 1 could significantly prolong the incu-bation period of body torsion induced by acetic acid(P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01),and significantly reduce the number of body torsion(P <0. 05 or P < 0. 01). The three dose groups(0. 35,0. 7,1. 4 g·kg - 1 )of rhino horn could significantly reduce the number of body tor-sion(P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). After the second dose and compared with the control group,the pain threshold of high dose group(1. 4 g·kg - 1 )of living rhino horn,high and middle dose groups(0. 7,1. 4 g·kg - 1 )of rhino horn was significantly prolonged(P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). Compared with the control group,three dose groups(0. 175,0. 35,0. 7 g·kg - 1 )of living rhino horn and rhino horn could significantly reduce the analgesic effect in mice induced by formaldehyde in the second phase(P < 0. 01). Compared with the control group,the changes of pain threshold before and after the administration in three dose groups(110,220,440 mg·kg - 1 )of liv-ing rhino horn and high dose group(440 mg·kg - 1 )of rhino horn was significantly increased(P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). Conclusion:Living rhino horn can be used as a substitute of rhino horn with promising analgesia effect.

Objective:To study the hemostasis effect of the ingredients in compound hemostasis patches .Methods:The effect of the ingredients in compound hemostasis patches on the clotting time was studied by the coagulation of rabbit whole blood in vitro.The models of femoral arterial injury in rats and perforation of femoral artery in pigs were established , and the effect of the ingredients in compound hemostasis patches on the bleeding time and the bleeding loss was studied .Results:The results of the whole blood coagula-tion in vitro showed that the clotting time of the three compound hemostasis patches at different concentrations and thrombin group was significantly shorter than that of the blank control group and the saline control group (P<0.01).Compared with to the blank control group, the results of rat femoral artery trauma model test showed that the three patch groups and thrombin group could significantly re -duce the bleeding loss and bleeding time (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The results of pig femoral artery perforation hemorrhage model test showed that the compound hemostasis patches could significantly reduce the bleeding time (P<0.05).Conclusion:Compound hemo-stasis patches can significantly shorten clotting time and decrease bleeding loss .

Objective:To analyze the association of respiratory syncytial virus infection with meteorological factors and to predict and explain the trends.Methods:Data of cases with severe acute respiratory infections in hospitalized children in Xuzhou City were collected from 2015-2021. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was detected by real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction. The result were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software, including constructing a negative binomial regression model to explore meteorological factors that impact RSV detection and a multivariate time series model to predict its epidemiological trend from 2020 to 2021.Results:A total of 1 663 samples of children with severe acute respiratory infections were collected from 2015to 2021, of which 218 (13.1%) were positive for RSV. Seasonal effects on RSV detection were evident: there was a 1-year cycle with a peak in winter (December-February) and a trough in summer (June-August). The negative binomial regression analysis showed that monthly mean temperature, monthly mean relative humidity, and monthly total sunshine hours may influenced RSV detection. The prediction result of the time series model with sunshine hours as the covariate showed that the prediction was better for 2020, and the actual values were close to the predicted values. The expected trends in 2021 were consistent, but the actual values were higher than predicted.Conclusions:Monthly mean temperature, monthly mean relative humidity, and monthly total sunshine hours may influence RSV detection in the Xuzhou region.A prediction model can be built using data from 2015-2019, where deviations in the predicted values for 2021, reflecting that disease prevalence is multifactorial correlated, suggest a possible rise in RSV prevalence in the future.

Objective:To understand the composition of respiratory virus spectrum in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections in Guilin City from 2021 to 2022, and to explore the epidemic characteristics of different respiratory viruses.Methods:Information of a total of 638 hospitalized children with acute respiratory infections (ARI) syndrome under the age of 14 years in Guilin city, Guangxi from September 2021 to October 2022 was collected as research data. The collected pharyngeal swabs from pediatric patients were subjected to real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for nucleic acid testing, screening for 15 common respiratory viruses, and analyzing the virus spectrum characteristics of hospitalized pediatric patients with acute respiratory infections.Results:Among the 638 specimens, 365 were tested positive for at least one virus, with a positive rate of 57.21% (365/638). The detection rate for two or more viruses was 12.85% (82/638). There were 12 types of viruses detected, and the difference in virus detection rates among different seasons was statistically significant (P<0.002). The virus positive detection rate of samples from different age groups was the highest in the 0-2-year old group (40.66%), followed by the 3-5-year old group (34.80%) and the 6-year and older group (24.54%).Conclusions:During the period from September 2021 to October 2022, all 12 respiratory viruses were prevalent in Guilin area, with obvious summer peak as characteristics. It is suggested that corresponding prevention and control measures should be focused on pathogens that may cause acute respiratory infections in children during the local summer to prevent and control the spread and prevalence of respiratory infections.
