Objective To analyze the influencing factors of malaria infection of labor service exported to overseas in Langfang City, in order to establish a visualization tool to assist clinicians in predicting the risk of malaria. Methods A total of 4 774 expatriate employees of the Nibei Pipeline Project of the Pipeline Bureau from October 2021 to August 2023 were taken as the subjects, and the gender, age, overseas residence area and Knowledge of malaria controlscores of the study subjects were investigated by questionnaire survey, and the possible risk factors of malaria were screened by logistic regression model. At the same time, the nomogram prediction model was established, and the subjects were divided into the training group and the validation group at a ratio of 2:1, and the area under the curve (ROC) and the decision curve were plotted to evaluate the prediction ability and practicability of the prediction model in this study. Results Among the 4 774 study subjects, 96 cases of malaria occurred, and the detection rate was 2.01%. Junior school （OR=1.723，95% CI:1.361-2.173）， and residence in rural areas（OR=2.091，95%CI:1.760 -3.100）were risk factors (OR>1), while protective measures（OR=0.826，95% CI : 0.781 - 0.901） and high malaria education scores （OR=0.872，95% CI : 0.621 - 0.899）were protective factors.The nomogram prediction model results showed that the area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model in the training group was 0.94 (95% CI : 0.85 - 1.00), while the validation group was 0.93 (95% CI : 0.80 - 1.00). The results of the decision curve showed that when the threshold probability of the population was 0-0.9, the nomogram model was used to predict the risk of malaria occurrence with the highest net income. Conclusion The nomogram prediction model (including gender, education, region, protection and malaria education score) established and validated in this study is of great value for clinicians to screen high-risk patients with malaria.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C₀), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug‍-‍drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Objective To investigate the preparation and evaluation of animal models of depression associated with autoimmune thyroiditis,and to verify the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD pathway based on this condition.Methods 32 NOD.H-2H4 mice were randomly divided into a normal(N)group,depression(DP)group,autoimmune thyroiditis with depression(AIT+DP)group,autoimmune thyroiditis(AIT)group,with 8 animals in each group.The N group was fed normally,the DP group was subjected to chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)for 5 weeks,the AIT group was given 0.05％sodium iodide water to establish an autoimmune thyroiditis model,and the AIT+DP group was subjected to 5 weeks of CUMS to establish the AIT animal model.We evaluated whether the mouse autoimmune thyroiditis model had been successfully prepared by observing the thyroid tissue structure,lymphocyte infiltration,and serum TGAb and TPOAb levels.Changes in body weight,sugar water preference rate,open field behavior(central quadrant time,central quadrant time proportion,standing rate,frequency of defecation,and hair grooming time),and hippocampal pathological changes were used to evaluate the depression status of the mice.When the model mice met the above-mentioned indicators related to depression and autoimmune thyroiditis,the AIT+DP animal model was considered successfully prepared.Results Compared with the levels in the N group,the AIT group's and AIT+DP group's serum TGAb and TPOAb levels were significantly increased(P＜0.01),and a large number of inflammatory cells had infiltrated the thyroid gland.The central quadrant time and central quadrant time proportion,standing rate,frequency of defecation,and hair grooming time were reduced to varying degrees in the DP group and AIT+DP group.In addition,the numbers of glial cells in the cerebral cortex increased and neuronal cells decreased,accompanied by some nuclear atrophy,and the expression levels of NLRP3,IL-1β,Caspase-1,and GSDMD-N significantly increased,especially in the AIT+DP group(P＜0.01).Conclusions 0.05％sodium iodide water and CUMS create autoimmune thyroiditis with depression model animals that better simulate the external performance and internal index changes of the diseases.These mice can provide an animal model reference for research into autoimmune thyroiditis with depression.

A total of 360 healthy 26 week old Huaixiang hens were randomly divided into 10 groups,of which,five groups were reared at normal temperature(NC,NT1,NT2,NT3,NT4)and other five groups were reared at high temperature(HC,HT1,HT2,HT3,HT4),all chickens were feed with 0,4,6,8,10 mg/kg canthaxanthin(CX)respectively.The pre-test period was 2 weeks and the main test period was 9 weeks.The results showed that high temperature reduced the egg pro-duction rate(P＜0.05),led to damage and hemorrhage in the ovaries,decreased the activity of su-peroxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in the serum and the ovaries(P＜0.05),decreased the levels of FSH,LH,P4,and E2(P＜0.05),decreased the expression of FSHR,LHR,ER,and PR(P＜0.05),and increased the levels of malonaldehyde(MDA)(P＜0.05)in the ovaries.Addition of CX increased the egg production rate(P＜0.05),increased the activity of serum and ovarian SOD and GSH-Px enzymes(P＜0.05),decreased the content of serum and ovarian MDA(P＜0.05)),increased the ovarian levels of FSH,LH,P4,E2(P＜0.05),and increased the o-varian expression of FSHR,LHR,ER,and PR(P＜0.05)in Huaixiang chickens at normal and high temperature environmental conditions,respectively.Among them,the highest egg production rate,the strongest antioxidant capacity of serum and ovarian tissues,the best integrity of ovarian tis-sues,ovarian reproductive hormone secretion and expression of reproductive hormone receptors were observed in Huaixiang chickens when 6 mg/kg of CX was added to the diet under normal temperature and when 8 mg/kg CX was added to the diet under high temperature conditions.The results showed that under normal and high temperature conditions,adding CX to the diet signifi-cantly increased the antioxidant capacity of serum and ovaries,alleviated the damage of ovary,pro-moted the secretion of reproductive hormone and the expression of reproductive hormone recep-tors,and increased egg production rate.Dietary supplemented with CX could not restore the dam-age and repair of ovarian tissue,the secretion of reproductive hormone and receptor to normal tem-perature level.The effects of CX on egg production rate,ovarian tissue structure,reproductive hor-mone and receptor expression in chickens were affected by the environmental temperature.When the egg production rate,antioxidant capacity of ovarian tissues,reproductive hormone levels and receptor expression of Huaixiang chickens were optimal,the amount of CX in high temperature en-vironment was more than that of the dose in normal temperature environment.
