ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

ObjectiveTo analyze the protective effect of different types of influenza vaccines (InfV) against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza in the future. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data on the incidence and InfV vaccination of the individuals aged between 3‒17 years during the influenza epidemic season from 2022 to 2023. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was calculated, and a log-binomial regression model was used to calculate the corrected VE. ResultsThe incidence rate of influenza in InfV vaccinated and un-vaccinated groups was 7.32% (1 937/ 26 446) and 9.65% (4 421/45 837), respectively. After adjusting for age and gender factors, the unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 54.57% (52.24%‒56.78%). The unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 53.66% (50.36%‒56.74%) for males and 55.60% (52.24%‒58.72%) for females, respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for the age group of 3‒ years, 6‒ years, 9‒ years, 12‒ years, and 15‒17 years were 64.08% (60.89%‒67.01%), 57.40% (53.71%‒60.80%), 57.77% (52.49%‒62.47%), 24.36% (9.49%‒36.79%), and 24.09% (-17.59%‒51.00%), respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for quadrivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent subunit influenza vaccine, and trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine were 53.84% (51.32%‒56.24%), 62.17% (56.28%‒67.26%), 79.83% (69.94%‒86.46%), and 31.59% (19.07%‒42.18%), respectively. ConclusionThe InfV used during the 2022‒2023 influenza season had a good protective effect against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, especially in those aged between 3‒11 years old.

Ancient traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctrine says "The superior doctor prevents illnesses," pointing out preventative medicine as the ultimate goal for medical care. TCM recognizes that genetic predisposition and environmental and lifestyle influences contribute to diseases. It divides people into eight constitutions in addition to one normal/healthy kind. People with one of the eight subhealth constitutions are prone to develop different kinds of corresponding illnesses. The goal for this type of categorization is to help people take preemptive measures to prevent or delay disease onset. As the peripheral immune system through surveying the body, it can capture information from essentially all organs and reflect anomalies occurring in each organ. Thus, the detailed profiling of the peripheral immune-system function can generally reflect a person's overall heath state. In this study, we performed the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from individuals with Tanshi (phlegm dampness) constitution. They were prone to develop metabolic disorders including diabetes. scRNA-seq revealed greatly reduced mucosal-associated invariable T cell content and heightened TNFα-NFκB, JAK-STAT, and interferon signaling. These findings indicated heightened chronic inflammation, as well as increased hypoxia/apoptosis responses, likely resulting from frequent sleep apnea that Tanshi individuals experienced. Altogether, this pilot study demonstrated effectiveness in using scRNA-seq to reveal molecular-immunological bases for constitution categorization, thereby substantiating that preventative medicine originated from TCM.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the current status, evolution, hot topics, and future research trends in the field of burn-related sepsis research through a visual analysis of literature. METHODS: A bibliometric method was employed to retrieve articles related to burn-related sepsis from January 1, 1994, to May 16, 2024, in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Web of Science database. The CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software was used to analyze the retrieved literature. The number of publications, authors, countries, and institutions in both Chinese and English literature was statistically analyzed. Co-occurrence analysis, clustering analysis, and co-citation analysis of keywords were performed. RESULTS: A total of 1 090 articles from the CNKI database and 1 143 articles from the Web of Science database were retrieved. Over the past 20 years, the volume of Chinese publications has remained stable, although there has been a slight decline in the past two years. In contrast, the number of English publications, after a period of growth, showed a sharp decline over the past three years. In Chinese literature, 1 457 authors published articles on burn-related sepsis as first authors, with 14 core authors publishing four or more articles. In English literature, 98 authors published articles on burn-related sepsis as first authors. Research on burn-related sepsis was conducted by 76 countries, with the United States having the most collaborations and publications. Globally, 1 349 institutions published articles on burn-related sepsis, with the top institutions being the First Affiliated Hospital of the PLA General Hospital (8 articles) for Chinese literature and the University of Texas Medical Branch (57 articles) for English literature. In the co-occurrence analysis, 208 Chinese keywords and 211 English keywords were included. Excluding keywords related to search terms, the top five most frequent keywords in Chinese literature were burn, sepsis, infection, severe burn, and procalcitonin; the top five most frequent keywords in English literature were sepsis, septic shock, mortality, injury, and burn injury. Chinese keyword analysis identified six clusters, with the largest being sepsis, followed by procalcitonin, infection, and severe burn. English keyword analysis identified seven clusters, with the largest being expression, followed by epidemiology, inhalation injury, and acute kidney injury. The persistent clusters in Chinese literature were procalcitonin, with recent emerging nodes being severe burn, inflammatory response, platelets, and predictive value. In English literature, the persistent clusters were inhalation injury and nitric oxide, with recent emerging nodes being continuous renal replacement therapy, hemorrhagic shock, and early enteral nutrition. The longest-lasting emergent keyword in Chinese literature was delayed resuscitation (2003-2010), with the highest emergent strength being severe burn. In English literature, the longest-lasting emergent keywords, each lasting five years, were nitric oxide (2007-2012), management (2019-2024), and impact (2019-2024), with the highest emergent strength being thermal injury. CONCLUSIONS Research on burn-related sepsis has shifted from focusing on early studies on pathogenesis and mortality to focus on prevention, treatment, and early diagnosis. Future research is expected to focus on early diagnosis and risk factors of burn-related sepsis.

Objective To provide an animal model for studying the effect of TDO2 on the function of macrophages on the occurrence and development of diseases by constructing macrophage-specific tryptophan,2,3-dioxygenase(TDO2)gene knockout mice.Methods TDO2flox/flox Lyz2-iCre+mice were constructed based on Cre/LoxP sys-tem.The genotypes of mice were identified by PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis.Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to verify the effect of TDO2 knockdown in mouse macrophages.The spontaneous le-sions in major tissues and organ were observed by HE stainings.Results The results of genotype identification showed that the mice with only one band at 407 bp or 408 bp for the flox amplification product and one band at 543 bp for the Cre amplification product were TDO2flox/flox Lyz2-iCre+mice.Western blot results showed that TDO2 ex-pression in bone marrow-derived macrophages(BMDMs)of TDO2flox/flox Lyz2-iCre+mice decreased compared with TD02flox/flox mice(P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence results showed that TDO2 expression in peritoneal macrophages and BMDMs of TDO2flox/flox Lyz2-iCre+mice decreased compared with TDO2flox/flox mice.HE staining showed no sig-nificant differences in cell morphology in the liver,brain,kidney and spleen tissues of TDO2flox/flox Lyz2-iCre+mice compared to TDO2flox/f1ox mice.Conclusion TDO2flox/flox Lyz2-iCre+mice is successfully constructed,providing a more precise experimental animal model for subsequent in-depth study of the role and mechanism of TDO2-regulated macrophage activation in disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of tryptophan-2,3-dioxygenase(TDO2)on collagen-induced ar-thritis,the expression of CIA in mice and the specific mechanism by which prostaglandin E2(PGE2)inhibits the expression and activity of TDO2 and thus regulates the function of macrophages.Methods Type Ⅱ collagen in-duced the CIA model in DBA/1J mice.The ankle joint injury of CIA mice was detected by X-ray.The expression of TDO2 in ankle joint and spleen was detected by immunohistochemistry.Changes of TDO2 expression in perito-neal macrophages(PMs)were detected by qPCR and immunofluorescence.TDO2 expression was detected by small interference in RAW264.7 cells,TDO2 inhibitor 680C91,PGE2 stimulation with different concentrations(0.1,1,10 μmol/L)and EP4 receptor agonist CAY10598.qPCR and Western blot were used to detect TDO2 expression.The phagocytosis and polarization of macrophages were detected by flow cytometry.The activity of TDO2 was detec-ted by colorimetry.Results Compared with normal mice,CIA mice had larger soft tissue swelling in ankle,and increased TDO2 expression in synovium,spleen and PMs.In RAW264.7 cells,TDO2 expression was significantly inhibited after small interference,TDO2 inhibitor 680C91,PGE2 stimulation,and EP4 receptor agonist CAY10598,macrophage phagocytosis decreased,and M1/M2 ratio decreased(P＜0.05).Colorimetric results showed that the activity of TDO2 was inhibited after stimulation of PGE2 and EP4 agonist CAY10598 in RAW264.7 cells(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increased expression of TDO2 in macrophages may promote synovial injury in CIA mice,and PGE2 regulates the function of macrophages by inhibiting the expression and activity of TDO2 by ac-tivating EP4 receptor.

Objective To investigate the difference between imaging flow cytometry and immunofluorescence tech-niques for detecting Ahr entry in fibroblast-like synoviocytes.Methods Human-derived fibroblast-like synoviocytes line MH7A was cultured with 15％ DMEM.The nucleation levels of Ahr in MH7A were detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy and quantitative imaging flow cytometry(ImageStreamX Mark Ⅱ)in the blank control group,the Kyn group,and the Kyn+CH223191 group,respectively.The results of the two assay techniques were com-pared using nonparametric tests-correlation of the results.Results Compared with the blank control group,the Kyn and Kyn+CH223191 groups of MH7A cells increased Ahr nucleation ability as measured by immunofluores-cence technique and imaging flow cytometry(P＜0.05),and the three groups of results calculated by the two ex-perimental methods were consistent,with the R2 values of 0.863 8,0.928 7,and 0.901 8,respectively,which were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with the operation and results of im-munofluorescence experiments,imaging flow cytometry data processing is more complicated.However,the results are notably precise,avoiding the subjectivity of the experimenter and minimizing experimental inaccuracies.

ObjectiveTo analyze the temporal distribution characteristics of crisis calls and eight major counseling issues to the Shanghai mental health hotline, and to provide recommendations for improving hotline management. MethodsDescriptive statistics were used to analyze 1 106 crisis calls and the calls of eight major counseling issues to the Shanghai mental health hotline across months, time periods and weeks from October 2021 to September 2023, and the chi-square test was used to analyze whether there was any difference in the distribution of 1 106 crisis calls and the calls of eight major counseling issues across months, time periods and weeks. ResultsThere were significant differences in the number of crises calls across different months (χ²=87.816, P<0.05), time periods (χ²=161.848, P<0.05), and weekly distributions (χ²=63.329, P<0.05). The highest number of calls occurred in September, while January had the lowest. The peak call times were between 18:00‒20:00, with the fewest calls occurring between 3:00‒5:00. The day of the week with the highest number of calls was Saturday, while Wednesday had the lowest. Among the different types of counselling issues in crisis calls, the highest number of calls were related to mental disorders, while the fewest calls were related to COVID-19. ConclusionCrisis calls to the Shanghai mental health hotline are concentrated at specific times, indicating that relevant organizations should optimize resource allocation based on this time distribution.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics and associated risk factors of diabetes in patients with schizophrenia living in communities, and to provide a basis for the prevention of diabetes comorbidity in this population. MethodsA stratified cluster sampling was used to randomly select patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai who participated in the free health examination provided by the National Basic Public Health Services in 2020. Statistical methods were employed to analyze the general demographic data, clinical characteristics, and laboratory test results of the study subjects. ResultsThe study included 3 374 individuals with schizophrenia, among which the prevalence of diabetes was 17.01%. Statistically significant differences were observed in terms of age, education level, urban area type, marital status, employment status, duration of illness, blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that living in non-central urban areas (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.33‒2.32), disease duration of 6‒ years (OR=2.60, 95%CI: 1.07‒6.32), disease duration of 11‒ years (OR=2.72, 95%CI: 1.17‒6.35), disease duration of 16‒ years (OR=3.38, 95%CI: 1.54‒7.42), hypertension(OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.27‒2.36), obesity (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.15‒2.00), and elevated triglyceride levels (OR=2.78, 95%CI: 2.22‒3.49) were risk factors for diabetes in patients with schizophrenia. ConclusionThe prevalence of diabetes in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia is higher than that in the general population. It is recommended that appropriate health education and rehabilitation guidance be provided as part of community-based mental health services.
