Objective: To investigate the personnel allocation, structure, and mobility situation of the disease prevention and control (CDC) institutions in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2024, so as to provide insights into strengthening the construction of the talent team within CDC institutions. Methods: Basic information of the personnel in the CDC institutions, Jinhua City were collected through the Basic Information Subsystem of the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System. Composition of age, gender, educational background, major, professional title of the in-service and officially employed personnel, as well as the situation of personnel mobility were analyzed using descriptive methods. Results: A total of 10 CDCs were established in Jinhua City by the end of 2024, including 1 municipal CDC and 9 county (city, district) CDCs, with an approved staffing of 672 people and 621 in-service and officially employed staff. Compared with 2018, the approved number of staff positions in the CDC institutions of Jinhua City increased by 21.30% in 2024, and the number of in-service and officially employed staff members increased by 22.73%. From 2018 to 2024, the number of CDC staff per 10 000 permanent residents in the CDC institutions of Jinhua City, the municipal CDC, and the county (city, district) CDCs were 0.764 to 0.932, 0.142 to 0.173, and 0.623 to 0.759, respectively. From 2018 to 2024, the overall male-to-female ratio in both the municipal CDC and the county (city, district) CDCs decreased from 1.04∶1 and 0.84∶1 to 0.95∶1 and 0.75∶1, respectively. In the municipal CDC, the proportion of staff aged 25-<45 years old increased from 57.45% to 69.02%; the proportion of staff with a bachelor's degree or above increased from 79.79% to 93.81%; the proportion of staff majoring in public health increased from 37.23% to 49.56%; the proportions of staff with various professional titles were relatively stable; 51 staff members joined, all of whom had a bachelor's degree or above; 32 staff members left, among whom 24 retired and 6 were admitted to civil service positions or other units. In the county (city, district) CDCs, the proportion of staff aged 22-<35 years old increased from 30.59% to 37.40%; the proportion of staff with a bachelor's degree or above increased from 71.85% to 89.76%; the proportion of staff majoring in public health increased from 46.60% to 54.33%; the proportion of staff with a junior professional title or below increased from 34.47% to 43.50%; 198 staff members joined, and 194 of them had a bachelor's degree or above; 102 staff members left, among whom 67 retired and 28 were admitted to civil service positions or other units. Conclusions From 2018 to 2024, the number of in-service and officially employed staff in Jinhua CDC institutions increased the academic qualifications and professional composition continue to improve. There are still problems with the number of CDC staff per 10 000 permanent residents being lower than the standard for the personnel establishment in Zhejiang CDCs, a lack of high-level talents, and insufficient personnel stability.

Objective To investigate the effect of varying blood pressure stratification on renal function in the diabetic population.Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted,enrolling 9 489 diabetic patients from a total of 101 510 Kailuan Group employees who underwent health examinations between July 2006 and October 2007.The follow-up period was(8.6±4.0)years.Participants were categorized into four groups based on their baseline blood pressure levels:normal blood pressure(systolic blood pressure<120 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure<80 mmHg),elevated blood pressure(systolic blood pressure 120-130 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure<80 mmHg),stage 1 hypertension(systolic blood pressure 130-140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure 80-90 mmHg),and stage 2 hypertension(systolic blood pressure≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure≥90 mmHg).The incidence density of chronic kidney disease(CKD)was compared among these groups.A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to assess the effects of different blood pressure levels on renal function in diabetic patients,with the stability of the results confirmed using a multivariate time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model.Sensitivity analysis was conducted after excluding cases of cardiovascular disease(CVD)during follow-up,and cases using antihypertensive and antidiabetic medications at baseline.Results(1)At baseline,stage 1 hypertension patients demonstrated statistically significant higher differences with age and body mass index(BMI)compared to normal blood pressure group(P<0.05).(2)By the end of the follow-up,2 294 cases of CKD were identified,including 1 117 cases of estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)decline and 1 575 cases of urinary protein.The incidences density of CKD,eGFR decline and urinary protein for stage 1 hypertension group were 39.4,16.3 and 25.5 per thousand person-years,respectively,all of which were statistically significant different from normal blood pressure group(log-rank test,P<0.01).(3)Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that,compared to the normal blood pressure group,stage 1 hypertension was associated with a 29%increased risk of CKD(HR=1.29,95%CI 1.09-1.52)and a 40%increased risk of eGFR decline(HR=1.40,95%CI 1.08-1.80)in diabetic individuals.Conclusion Stage 1 hypertension significantly increases the risk of CKD and eGFR decline in diabetic individuals,with a particularly notable effect on the risk of eGFR decline.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of modified suspension reduction method combined with percuta-neous vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures.Methods From February 2020 to October 2021,92 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture were treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into the observation group and the control group.The observation group was treated with modified suspension reduction and then percutaneous vertebroplasty,while the control group was treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty alone.The observation group(47 cases),including 20 males and 27 females,the age ranged from 59 to 76 years old with an average of(69.74±4.50)years old,fractured vertebral bodies:T10(2 cases),T11(7 cases),T12(19 cases),L1(14 cases),L2(5 cases);the control group(45 cases),including 21 males and 24 females,the age ranged from 61 to 78 years old with an average of(71.02±3.58)years old,fractured vertebral bodies:T10(3 cases),T11(8 cases),T12(17 cas-es),L1(12 cases),L2(5 cases);The leakage of bone cement were observed,the visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry lumbar dysfunction index(ODI),anterior vertebrae height(AVH),Cobb angle of kyphosis and the amount of bone cement injected before and after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed up,ranged from 6 to1O with an average of(8.45±1.73)months.Two patients ocurred bone cement leakage in observation group and 3 pa-tients in control group.AVH of observation group increased(P＜0.05)and Cobb angle of injured vertebrae decreased(P＜0.05).Cobb angle of injured vertebrae and AVH of the control group were not significantly changed(P＞0.05).Cobb angle of injured vertebrae of the observation group was lower than that of control group(P＜0.05)and AVH was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).In the observation group,VAS before operation and 1 week,3 and 6 months after operation respective-ly were(7.32±1.05)scores,(3.56±1.18)scores,(1.83±0.67)scores,(1.27±0.34)scores,and ODI were(40.12±14.69)scores,(23.76±10.19)scores,(20.15±6.39)scores,(13.45±3.46)scores.In the control group,VAS before operation and 1 week,3 and 6 months after operation respectively were(7.11±5.26)scores,(3.82±0.68)scores,(1.94±0.88)scores,(1.36± 0.52)scores,and ODI were(41.38±10.23)scores,(25.13±14.22)scores,(20.61±5.82)scores,(14.55±5.27)scores.The scores of VAS and ODI after operation were lower than those before operation(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Modified suspension reduction method combined with PVP surgery for osteo-porotic thoracolumbar compression fractures has achieved good clinical results,which can effectively relieve lumbar back pain,restore vertebral height,correct kyphosis,improve lumbar function and patients'quality of life.

Objective Cognitive impairment(CI)in older individuals has a high morbidity rate worldwide,with poor diagnostic methods and susceptible population identification.This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different retinal metrics and CI in a particular population,emphasizing polyvascular status. Methods We collected information from the Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities Community Study on retinal vessel calibers,retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thickness,and cognitive function of 3,785 participants,aged 40 years or older.Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between retinal metrics and cognitive function.Subgroups stratified by different vascular statuses were also analyzed. Results RNFL thickness was significantly thinner in the CI group(odds ratio:0.973,95%confidence interval:0.953-0.994).In the subgroup analysis,the difference still existed in the non-intracranial arterial stenosis,non-extracranial carotid arterial stenosis,and peripheral arterial disease subgroups(P<0.05). Conclusion A thin RNFL is associated with CI,especially in people with non-large vessel stenosis.The underlying small vessel change in RNFL and CI should be investigated in the future.

This experiment aims to study the taste-masking effects of different kinds of corrigent used individually and in combination on ibuprofen oral solution, in order to optimize the taste-masking formulation. Firstly, a wide range of corrigent and the mass fractions were extensively screened using electronic tongue technology. Subsequently, a combination of sensory evaluation, analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-fuzzy mathematics evaluation, and Box-Behnken experimental design were employed to comprehensively assess the taste-masking effects of different combinations of corrigent on ibuprofen oral solution, optimize the taste-masking formulation, and validate the results. The study received ethical approval from the Review Committee of the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (ethical code: 2024BZYLL0102). The results showed that corrigent fractions and types were screened separately through single-factor experiments. Subsequently, a Box-Behnken response surface design combined with AHP and fuzzy mathematics evaluation was used to fit a functional model: Z = 688.310 11 - 3 023.722 22X₁ - 11.477 00X₂ + 62.721 67X₃ + 14.600 00X₁X₂ - 179.666 67X₁X₃ - 3.152 00X₂X₃ + 4 031.111 11X₁² + 0.525 28X₂² + 9.772 00X₃². This model is stable and reliable, determining the optimal taste-masking formulation to be 3.9 g·L^-1 of stevioside, 100 g L^-1 of xylitol, and 30 g L^-1 of methyl-β-cyclodextrin. The comprehensive score of the verification test is 88.14, with a relative RSD of 0.39%, indicating the feasibility of this model. This study achieved the improvement of the taste of ibuprofen oral solution through a combination of objective and subjective methods. Three types of corrigent were identified for enhancing drug taste, leading to the selection of the optimal taste-masking formulation for ibuprofen oral solution. This significantly enhanced the taste of the original formulation, improved patient compliance, and offered a new approach to mitigating the undesirable taste of formulations.

In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of tilianin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. The cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The content of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The content of nitric oxide (NO) was assayed by Griess reagent method. The level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent probe. The protein levels of Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (Myd88), nuclear factors κB p65 (NF-κB p65), phosphorylated nuclear factor κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), nuclear factor κB inhibitory protein α (IκBα) and phosphorylation nuclear factor κB inhibitory protein α (p-IκBα) were detected by Western blot. The mRNA and protein levels of NLRP3, pro-IL-1β, pro-IL-18 and pro-caspase-1 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. The effect of tilianin on the TLR4/Myd88/NF-κB signaling pathway was further validated by using the TLR4 signaling inhibitor restatorvid (TAK242). The results showed that tilianin significantly reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and NO in the supernatant of RAW264.7 cells and decreased the content of intracellular ROS. Tilianin reduced the levels of TLR4, Myd88, p-NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα protein and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. Tilianin could reduce the protein levels of NLRP3, pro-IL-1β, pro-IL-18 and pro-caspase-1. Tilianin significantly inhibited the mRNA levels of NLRP3 and pro-IL-1β. The above research results indicated that tilianin could significantly alleviate the LPS-induced inflammatory response in RAW264.7 cells and its mechanism might be related to downregulate the TLR4/Myd88/NF-κB signaling pathway to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

Although indigenous malaria has been eliminated in Wuhan since 2013,imported malaria remains a potential threat as an infectious source of local malaria transmission.The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of imported malaria are particularly important in areas where local malaria has been eliminated.This study was aimed at analyzing the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of imported malaria in Wuhan from 2012 to 2019,to provide a basis for further improving the preven-tion and control of imported malaria.Patients in Wuhan diagnosed with imported malaria from January 1,2012,to December 31,2019,were included in this study.A case-control study was con-ducted to analyze the features of patients with severe malaria.Uni-variate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for prolonged hospital length of stay(LOS).Among 229 imported malaria cases,212(92.6％)were in Chinese citizens,and most cases were in men(96.5％).The gender ratio is 28:1,and the age of cases is mainly concertrated between 18 and 50 years old(89.1％).More than 80％of patients were mi-grant workers,and most cases were infections from African countries(92.6％).Plasmodium falciparum(80.8％)was the dominant species.Fifty-three severe malaria cases were identified during the study period.Compared with uncomplicated cases,severe cases tended to occur in patients with no history of malaria(P=0.008),patients infected with Plasmodium falciparum(P=0.009),and patients who were initially misdiagnosed(P＜0.001).The median LOS was 6 days,and the species of infec-tion(Plasmodium falciparum),the use of antimalarial drugs(group B),antipyretic time(longer than 3 days),and the turn-around time of blood smear microscopy(longer than 3 days)were significantly associated with longer LOS(all P＜0.05).Al-though malaria has been eradicated in Wuhan for many years,imported cases continue to pose a threat.Efforts should be made to strengthen malaria knowledge education for outbound personnel.Additionally,medical institutions must enhance diagnosis and treatment capabilities for malaria,and adhere to standardized treatment processes,and the development of drug resistance and occurrence of severe malaria must be prevented.
