ObjectiveTo understand the epidemiological characteristics of syphilis in Ruian City, so as to provide a scientific basis for developing syphilis prevention and control strategies. MethodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to investigate the infection status of syphilis cases reported among the permanent resident population in Ruian City from 2014 to 2023, and its epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. ResultsA total of 5 482 syphilis cases were reported in Ruian from 2014 to 2023, with a male-female ratio of 1∶1.47. The average annual incidence rate from 2014 to 2023 was 37.51/100 000, with a declining trend in the incidence rate among females (APC=-4.78%, P<0.05). The incidence of primary and secondary syphilis decreased, while the proportion of latent syphilis cases increased. No cases of congenital syphilis were reported from 2017 to 2023. The majority of cases (60.29%) were reported among individuals aged 20‒<50 years. In terms of occupation, the highest proportion was found among housekeepers and the unemployed, constituting 42.70% the total cases. Dermatology departments reported the most cases in medical institutions, accounting for 33.38% of the total cases. The most likely route of infection was heterosexual transmission, accounting for 85.84%. ConclusionThe incidence of syphilis among females in Ruian City shows a declining trend, but the overall situation remains concerning. Prevention and control efforts should be intensified among key groups and high-risk populations, along with an enhancement on health education to curb the spread of syphilis.

Objective To study the protective effect of Shengxian decoction and the single herb decoction against myocardial injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation. Methods The H9c2 cells were cultured to establish hypoxia/reoxygenation model. Rats were divided into 8 groups: normal control group, hypoxia/reoxygenation group (model group) and treated groups (Shengxian decoction and the single herb decoction). The apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes, the activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular calcium concentration (Ca²⁺) were measured. Results Compared with hypoxia/reoxygenation group, the apoptosis rate, ROS activity and intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration were significantly lower in all treated groups (P<0.05). The ROS activity and intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration was decreased by 41.37% and 15.20% in Shengxian decoction group compared to the model group. Conclusion Shengxian decoction and the single herb decoction had protective effect on myocardial injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation.

OBJECTIVE：To investi gate the role of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of delayed excretion of acute renal failure （ARF） with epileptic seizure caused by HD-MTX in a patient ，and to provide reference for rational drug use and pharmaceutical care in such type of patients. METHODS ：A patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was given HD-MTX for chemotherapy，and ARF caused by delayed methotrexate excretion occurred on the second day after methotrexate administration. Clinical physicians adjusted the rescue dose and frequency of calcium folinate but the effect was poor. Clinical pharmacists analyzed the causes of delayed methotrexate excretion by reviewing literature and combining with the patient ’s condition. It was suggested to monitor the blood concentration of methotrexate ，strengthen alkalization and hydration ，increase the volume of intravenous sodium bicarbonate from 125 mL to 250 mL，take Sodium bicarbonate tablets orally ，and monitor the pH value of urine （pH value of urine maintained above 7）. In addition ，the pharmacist told the patient to drink water as much as possible to ensure the daily urine output reached 3 000 to 4 000 mL. The blood concentration of methotrexate was 16.14 μmol/L 44 h after administration ，which proved to be excretion delay. The patient had epileptic seizure on the 13th day after methotrexate medication. The physician gave sodium valproate 0.8 g intravenously to control epilepsy. The clinical pharmacist conducted pharmaceutical care for the patient ，and found that the compliance of the patient taking Sodium bicarbonate tablets and Sodium valproate tablets orally was not good ，so medication education and pharmaceutical care were conducted ，then the patient accepted and took the drugs on time. RESULTS ： The physician adopted the suggestions of the pharmacist to monitor the blood concentration of methotrexate and performed symptomatic treatment. The urine volume of the patient increased ，the edema was reduced ，serum creatinine gradually returned to normal，and renal function recovered gradually ；the symptoms of epilepsy was controlled. CONCLUSIONS ：In the treatment process of ARF complicated with epileptic seizure caused by excretion delay of HD-MTX ，the clinical pharmacist assisted physician to improve the treatment plan and conducted pharmaceutical care and medication education for the patient ，therefore ensure the safe and rational use of drugs .

AIM: The main chemical components of Yufang Fangji II (Hubei Fang) of COVID-19 were studied systematically and combined with network pharmacology to provide a reference for the study of its effective substances. METHODS: Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS) was applied to identify the absorbed components of the prescription in rat plasma. TCMSP database and Swiss Target Prediction data platform were used to predict the target of the identified blood components, and network visualization software Cytoscape 3.7.2 was used draw the association network diagram, and GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were conducted for the key targets. With the help of CB-Dock online molecular docking platform, the molecular docking of key targets and blood entering compounds was carried out, and the docking combination with good affinity value was displayed by ligplot software to verify the preventive effect of Yufang Fangji II on COVID-19. RESULTS: A total of 52 chemical components identified in the prescription, in which 13 components were absorbed in the rat plasma as the prototype, and they were from Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, and Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, respectively. These compounds were recognized to act on 17 core targets, including mapk3, TNF and other targets related to inflammation, MPO and other targets related to oxidative stress, VEGFR, KDR and other targets related to vascular endothelium. The results of molecular docking showed that the absorbed components had good binding activity with the key targets. CONCLUSION: Compounds in Yufang Fangji II are involved in regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular and cellular physiological activities, which have preventive effects on COVID-19 through regulating IL-17, PI3K Akt, MAPK and other pathways.

【Objective】 To study the status and conduct effect evaluation of blood donation recruitment of blood services in Chongqing, and explore its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the regional homogenization of blood services in Chongqing. 【Methods】 19 blood services in Chongqing were investigated by questionnaire in terms of the input in human resources and funds, recruitment methods, document construction and effect evaluation. The statistical analysis was conducted. 【Results】 The average number of blood donors per 1 000 population in 19 blood services in Chongqing was 9.35±3.35. Among the 19 blood services, blood inventory warning occurred in 18, 6 of them reached Level 2 and 1 of them was Level 1. The number of blood donations per 1 000 population in blood banks with no more than 5 recruits or with less than 100 000 yuan/year recruitment fund was significantly lower than that in blood banks with more than 5 recruits or with more than 100 000 yuan/year recruitment fund(P<0.05). SMS and telephone recruitment were most commonly used in blood donation recruitment. Most blood banks have established corresponding system documents, but only one has established the method to evaluate the effect of blood donation recruitment. 【Conclusion】 The number of blood donations per 1 000 population in 19 blood services in Chongqing varies greatly, and the pressure of blood inventory warning is widespread. The input of human resources and financial fund have a certain impact on the number of blood donations per 1000 population, but not the alone factor. The recruitment method is a little bit more on the traditional side, and the blood donation recruitment and efficacy evaluation is in lack of documentary supporting. Regional homogenization should be achieved by integrating the resources of blood services, establishing the document framework of blood donation recruitment and effect evaluation, clarifying the evaluation content and unifying the evaluation standard.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE：To establish a method for content determination of paclitaxel in malignant ascites of tumor patients. METHODS：LC-MS/MS method was adopted. Using vindoline as internal standard，the content of paclitaxel in ascites of tumor patients was determined. The separation was performed on Zorbax SB-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of aqueous solution （containing 0.1％ formic acid and 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate）-acetonitrile（40 ∶ 60，V/V）at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. the column temperature was 30 ℃，and sample size was 5 μL. The ion source was electrospray ion source，and the detection mode was multiple ion monitoring positive ion mode. MS parameters were set as following as dry gas temperature 350 ℃，dry gas flow rate 10 L/min，capillary voltage 4 000 V. Quantitative determination was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring（MRM）mode， with the ion transitions m/z 876.5→308.0 for paclitaxel and m/z 457.3→188.1 for the internal standard. The fragment voltage/ collision energy for paclitaxel and the internal standard were 250 V/30 eV，and 150 V/20 eV，respectively. RESULTS：The linear range of paclitaxel were 25-2 500 ng/mL（r2＝0.996 5，n＝7）. The lowest limit of quantitation was 25 ng/mL. RSDs of inter-day and intra-day precision tests were 0.61％ -3.62％（n＝5，3）. Accuracies were 95.34％ -98.76％（n＝5，3）. RSDs of extraction recovery were 3.19％-3.72％（n＝3）. CV of matrix effect were 1.52％-2.93％（n＝3）. RE of stability tests were lower than 3％（n＝ 3）. CONCLUSIONS：The method is simple，accurate and suitable for the content determination of paclitaxel in malignant ascites of tumor patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of ABCR clinical scoring system in guiding repeated transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the treatment strategies for patients with an ABCR score of 1-3. MethodsThe patients with HCC who underwent TACE in The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2008 to December 2017 were enrolled. In order to investigate the effect of repeated TACE in patients with different ABCR scores, 229 patients who underwent repeated TACE consecutively (at least twice, without systemic therapy) were enrolled as group A, which was further divided into group A1 with 92 patients (an ABCR score of ≤0), group A2 with 78 patients (an ABCR score of 1-3), and group A3 with 59 patients (an ABCR score of ≥4). In order to investigate the survival time of patients with an ABCR score of 1-3 who received different regimens after first TACE therapy, 118 patients with an ABCR score of 1-3 who received TACE for the first time were enrolled as group B, which was further divided into group B1 with 78 patients (treated with TACE after first TACE therapy), group B2 with 21 patients (treated with TACE combined with sorafenib), and group B3 with 19 patients (treated with sorafenib alone). The survival of the above groups of patients were analyzed. The Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival time between groups. ResultsThe median survival time was 320 months (95% confidence interval ［CI］: 27.7-36.3) in group A1, 10.3 months (95%CI: 8.4-12.2) in group A2, and 4.6 months (95%CI: 3.7-5.5) in group A3. Group A1 had a better survival time than group A2 (χ2=106.99, P＜0.01), and group A2 had a better survival time than group A3 (χ2=49.66, P＜0.01). The median survival time was 10.3 months (95%CI: 8.4-12.2) in group B1, 14.8 months (95%CI: 7.8-21.8) in group B2, and 6.0 months (95%CI: 4.6-7.4) in group B3, and group B2 had a better survival time than group B1 (χ2=6.80, P＜0.01) and group B3 (χ2=29.89, P＜0.01). ConclusionThe ABCR score has a certain guiding significance for the treatment of HCC patients. Repeated TACE may be considered for patients with an ABCR score of ≤0, while patients with an ABCR score of ≥4 may not benefit from further TACE therapy, and TACE combined with sorafenib might bring maximum benefits to patients with an ABCR score of 1-3.

Objective To explore the value of fascial tail sign at MR images in the detection of nodular fasciitis (NF). Methods A retrospective analysis of MR images was performed in 19 patients with pathologically proven NF of the soft tissue and 53 patients with a variety of other fibrous-predominant tumors. MR manifestations of all cases were reviewed by two experienced musculoskeletal radiologists using a single blind method. The presence of fascial tail on MR images were evaluated. ROC was used to assess the value of fascial tail sign in the detection of NF. Sensitivity, specificity, Youden index and area under ROC curve were calculated. The association between the presence of fascial tail sign on MRI and pathological classification of NF was analyzed by Pearson chi-square test for independence . Results Fascial tail was present in 17 cases (89.5%) of the study group and in 6 cases (11.3%) of the control group, respectively, yielding a sensitivity of 89.5%, a specificity of 88.7%, a Youden index of 0.782 and an area under ROC curve of 0.891. The fascial tail sign was significantly associated with NF (c2=39.294,P<0.05,r=0.594). Conclusions Fascial tail sign at MRI is a moderately specific and sensitive for the diagnosis of NF relative to fibrous-predominant tumors. It can be used in differentiate between NF and aggressive soft tissue tumors.
