This paper was aimed to discuss the application of content management system (CMS) Drupal in Chinese medicine information fusion. The modular functionality, scalability and strong management capabilities of Drupal can effectively manage and reasonably present information resources of Chinese medicine, which extended the application of Chinese medicine information fusion. Regarding CMS Drupal as the carrier of Chinese medicine information fusion, the Chinese medicine information fusion method can be used in the collection, organization and demonstration of Chinese medicine information in the platform. As one of network tools for Chinese medicine information fusion, Dru-pal will play its powerful function in content management and information publishing with the virtual technology. It will also enrich Chinese medicine information fusion, and promote the spread of Chinese medicine knowledge.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of breast cancer complicated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limb and to explore the predictive significance of the thrombus risk assessment model for patients with breast cancer. Methods:A total of 703 patients with breast cancer in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital who suffered from DVT after operation dur-ing January 2013 to June 2016 were retrospectively selected as the thrombosis group. A total of 706 cases for the control group were selected by systematic sampling. The risk factors of lower limb DVT after surgery were investigated. The predictive values of the Khora-na and Caprini thrombosis risk assessment models for these patients were also presented in this research. Results:Age, BMI≥30 kg/m2, diagnosis by excisional biopsy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, operation time>2 h, lipoprotein a (Lpa)>475.5 mg/L, protein C (PC)<102.5%, blood coagulation factor-Ⅷ(F-Ⅷ)>129.8%, and D-Dimer (D-D)>289.99 ng/mL had statistical differences between in the two groups (P<0.05). Significant difference between the groups was found in the Caprini scores (P<0.001) but not in the Khorana thrombo-sis risk assessment model (P=0.207). Conclusion:Age, BMI≥30 kg/m2, diagnosis by excisional biopsy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, op-eration time>2 h, Lpa>475.5 mg/L, PC<102.5%, F-Ⅷ>129.8%, and D-D>289.99 ng/mL are the independent risk factors of thrombo-sis. The Caprini thrombosis risk assessment model may require complicated evaluation. Hence, a new model that is suitable for pa-tients with breast cancer must be developed.

Background:
Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health concern around the globe.Antimicrobial peptides exhibit broad-spectrum and efficient antibacterial activity with an added advantage of low drug resistance. The higher water content and 3D network structure of the hydrogels are beneficial for maintaining antimicrobial peptide activity and help to prevent degradation. The antimicrobial peptide released from hydrogels also hasten the local wound healing by promoting epithelial tissue regeneration and granulation tissue formation.
Objective:
This study aimed at developing sodium alginate based hydrogel loaded with a novel antimicrobial peptide Chol-37(F34-R) and to investigate the characteristics in vitro and in vivo as an alternative antibacterial wound dressing to treat infectious wounds.
Methods:
Hydrogels were developed and optimized by varying the concentrations of crosslinkers and subjected to various characterization tests like cross-sectional morphology, swelling index, percent water contents, water retention ratio, drug release and antibacterial activity in vitro, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected wound mice model in vivo.
Results:
The results indicated that the hydrogel C proved superior in terms of cross-sectional morphology having uniformly sized interconnected pores, a good swelling index, with the capacity to retain a higher quantity of water. Furthermore, the optimized hydrogel has been found to exert a significant antimicrobial activity against bacteria and was also found to prevent bacterial infiltration into the wound site due to forming an impermeable barrier between the wound bed and external environment. The optimized hydrogel was found to significantly hasten skin regeneration in animal models when compared to other treatments in addition to strong inhibitory effect on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α).
Conclusions
Our results suggest that sodium alginate -based hydrogels loaded with Chol-37(F34-R) hold the potential to be used as an alternative to conventional antibiotics in treating infectious skin wounds.

In recent years, the reported incidence of brucellosis continued to rise and the epidemic spread kept, which has become an important public health problem in China. Continuous improvement of the surveillance system is important for effective control and prevention of brucellosis. This article systematically summarizes the construction and development of the brucellosis surveillance system, analyzes the main characteristics of the current brucellosis surveillance system and evaluates the surveillance system in China, and it also put forward suggestions for the further improvement of the surveillance system to meet the new requirement for brucellosis surveillance, control and prevention.
