ObjectiveTo understand the epidemiological distribution and gene evolutionary variation of influenza A (H3N2) viruses in Fengxian District, Shanghai, in the surveillance year of 2023, and to provide a reference basis for influenza prevention and control. MethodsThe prevalence of influenza virus in Fengxian District in the 2023 influenza surveillance year (April 2023‒March 2024) was analyzed. The hemagglutinin (HA) gene, neuraminidase (NA) gene, and amino acid sequences of 75 strains of H3N2 influenza viruses were compared with the vaccine reference strain for similarity matching and phylogenetic evolutionary analysis, in addition to an analysis of gene characterization and variation. ResultsIn Fengxian District, there was a mixed epidemic of H3N2 and H1N1 in the spring of 2023, with H3N2 being the predominant subtype in the second half of the year, and Victoria B becoming the predominant subtype in the spring of 2024. A total of 75 influenza strains of H3N2 with HA and NA genes were distributed in the 3C.2a1b.2a.2a.2a.3a.1 and B.4 branches, with overall similarity to the reference strain of the 2024 vaccine higher than that of the reference strain of the 2022 and 2023 vaccine. Compared with the 2023 vaccine reference strain, three antigenic sites and one receptor binding site were changed in HA, with three glycosylation sites reduced and two glycosylation sites added; where as in NA seven antigenic sites and the 222nd resistance site changed with two glycosylation sites reduced. ConclusionThe risk of antigenic variation and drug resistance of H3N2 in this region is high, and it is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education on the 2024 influenza vaccine and long-term monitoring of influenza virus prevalence and variation levels.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of modified Chaihu Shugansan on the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ（CaMKⅡ）/cAMP-response element binding protein （CREB） signaling pathway in the hippocampus and heart tissue of a rat model with myocardial ischemia and depression and explore the mechanism by which this formula prevents and treats coronary heart disease combined with depression. MethodsThe model of myocardial ischemia combined with depression was established by high-fat diet， intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol （ISO）， and chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS）. A total of 108 SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， high （23.4 g·kg^-1）， medium （11.7 g·kg^-1）， and low （5.85 g·kg^-1） dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan， CaMKⅡ inhibitor （KN93） group， and KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan， with 12 rats in each group. From the first day of modeling to the end of modeling， drugs were administered once a day. In the seventh and eighth weeks， the KN93 group and the KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan were intraperitoneally injected with KN93 three times weekly. At the end of the eighth week， behavioral tests including sucrose preference， open field， and elevated plus maze were conducted. Electrocardiogram （ECG） lead Ⅱ changes were observed in each group of rats， and hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to observe changes in heart tissue. Serum levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） were measured by using an enzyme-labeled instrument. Creatine kinase （CK） and creatine kinase-MB （CK-MB） were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometry， while serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1） was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB in hippocampal and heart tissue， and Western blot was performed to assess protein expression of CaMKⅡ， phosphorylated （p）-CaMKⅡ， CREB， and p-CREB. ResultsCompared to the normal group， the model group showed significant reductions in sucrose preference rate， total activity distance in the open field， number of entries into the center area of the open field， and percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze （P<0.01）. The ECG showed ST-segment elevation， and HE staining showed serious degeneration of myocardial fibers， disordered arrangement， and infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells. In addition， serum TC and LDL levels increased （P<0.01）， and HDL level decreased （P<0.01）. CK， CK-MB， LDH， and MCP-1 levels significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB and the protein expression of p-CaMKⅡ and p-CREB decreased in the hippocampal tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but those increased in the heart tissue （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， the high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan showed improvements in these abnormalities. The KN93 group had reduced sucrose preference， total activity distance in the open field， number of entries into the center area of the open field， and percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze （P<0.01）， as well as decreased serum CK， CK-MB， LDH， and MCP-1 levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. KN93 also reduced ST-segment elevation， alleviated the degeneration degree of myocardial fibrosis， and lowered inflammatory cell infiltration. The mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB and the protein expression of p-CaMKⅡ and p-CREB in both the hippocampal and heart tissue were reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan showed further improvements in these abnormalities compared to the KN93 group. ConclusionThe modified Chaihu Shugansan exerts antidepressant and myocardial protective effects in rats with myocardial ischemia and depression， possibly related to bidirectional regulation of the CaMKⅡ/CREB signaling pathway， with the high-dose modified Chaihu Shugansan showing the best effects.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy, nursing characteristics, and management of different desensitization strategies before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) among patients with high level of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 82 patients with high levels of HLA antibodies who underwent allo-HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and Suzhou Hopes Hematonosis Hospital between January 2020 to November 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on the desensitization strategy they received: the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody combined with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) group (n=50) and the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody combined with Protein A immunoabsorption group (n=32). The differences of efficacy between the desensitization strategies were analyzed. The safety of both desensitization strategies were assessed by close monitoring of adverse events throughout the treatment. The nursing characteristics and interventions specific to these strategies were comprehensively summarized. Results: There were no significant differences in age, gender, and diagnosis between the two groups of patients receiving different desensitization strategies (P>0.05). Following desensitization in the immunoadsorption group, the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) levels of anti-HLA Class I antibody decreased significantly compared to initial screening (P=0.048), while the decrease in MFI values of anti-HLA Class II antibody was not statistically significant (P=0.173). In the TPE group, the MFI levels for both anti-HLA Class I and II antibodies after desensitization decreased significantly compared to initial screening (P=0.025 and 0.028, respectively). Monitoring of adverse events during desensitization treatment, found that patients in the immunoadsorption group experienced mild decreases in blood pressure during the process, with two patients developing severe hypotension. No allergic reactions occurred, and no damage of liver or kidney function was observed after the immunoadsorption. In the immunoadsorption group, a total of 19 patients underwent sera immunoglobulin assays before and after immunoadsorption. Compared to the initial screening, the immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels significantly decreased after immunoadsorption (P<0.001). In TPE group, 12 patients experienced mild hypotension during the plasma exchange process, but no severe hypotension was observed. One patient developed an allergic reaction. After the TPE treatment, no damage of liver or kidney function was observed, nor any decrease of IgG levels. In terms of safety of intravenous access, neither group experienced severe complications such as catheter-related bloodstream infections or deep vein thrombosis. In the TPE group, catheter occlusion occurred during the process of plasma exchange in 2 patients, while no such incident was observed in the immunoadsorption group. Patients of both groups exhibited anxiety and depression before treatment. After psychological care, the scores for anxiety and depression significantly decreased (P<0.001). Conclusion: Both desensitization strategies significantly decreased the HLA antibodies in highly sensitized patients with high level of HLA antibodies undergoing allo-HSCT. For patients receiving immunoabsorption, nursing care should focus on preventing and managing hypotension and implementing infection-prevention measures due to IgG depletion. In contrast, for those undergoing TPE, vigilant monitoring and prompt management of potential allergic reactions are essential components of nursing practice.

Objective : To investigate the prevalence of negative emotions in hospitalized youth patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM) and its correlation with coping strategies and psychological resilience. Methods : 141 youth T2DM patients who met the research standards were selected. Blood glucose related indicators, blood pressure, body mass index(BMI), diabetes chronic complications screening results and other data were collected. The basic information and disease related information questionnaire, self-rating depression scale(SDS), self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), diabetes distress scale(DDS), medical coping modes questionnaire(MCMQ) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC) were completed. Results: Among 141 hospitalized youth T2DM patients, 37.6% were combined with depression, 32.6% were combined with anxiety, and 35.5% were combined with diabetic distress(DD). Univariate analysis showed that systolic blood pressure(P<0.01), educational level, and the form of hospitalization expenses(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with depression. Marital status(P<0.01), family residence, blood glucose monitoring methods, and the last fasting blood glucose(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with anxiety. BMI, whether it was first diagnosed or treated(P<0.01), gender, occupation, disease course, weekly blood glucose monitoring frequency, and the presence of chronic complications(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with DD. In multivariate analysis, systolic blood pressure(P<0.01), educational level, and the form of hospitalization expenses were significantly correlated with depression, marital status(P<0.05) was significantly correlated with anxiety; BMI and weekly blood glucose monitoring frequency(P<0.01) were significantly correlated with DD. SDS, SAS, total scores and dimensions of DDS were negatively correlated with the total score and dimensions of CD-RISC(rs=-0.182--0.467, P<0.05 or 0.01), and positively correlated with the yielding coping strategies(rs=0.177-0.271,P<0.05 or 0.01). SAS,total scores and dimensions of DDS were positively correlated with avoiding coping strategies(rs=0.237-0.419,P<0.05 or 0.01). The total and dimensions of CD-RISC were positively correlated with facing coping strategies(rs=0.215-0.349,P<0.05 or 0.01),and negatively correlated with yielding coping strategies(rs=-0.234--0.325,P<0.01). Conclusion More than 30% of hospitalized youth T2DM may experience negative emotions such as depression,anxiety,and DD. The occurrence of negative emotions in such patients may be related to disease management or socio-economic issues such as systolic blood pressure,educational level,hospitalization expenses,marital status,BMI,and frequency of blood glucose monitoring,as well as decreased psychological resilience and negative coping strategies.

AIM: To observe and analyze the effectiveness and safety of wearing corneal refractive therapy(CRT)and vision shaping treatment(VST)designed orthokeratology in controlling myopic progression in adolescents with low E-value corneal morphology.METHODS: This prospective study involved 100 cases(100 eyes)of adolescent myopia patients fitted with orthokeratology at our optometry clinic from January 2020 to December 2021. The data of right eye were collected for research, and they were divided into low myopia group(-1.00 to -3.00 D)and moderate myopia group(-3.25 to -5.00 D)according to spherical equivalent, with 50 cases in each group. Each group of patients was further randomly divided into the CRT group and the VST group, with 25 cases in each group. Uncorrected visual acuity, refractive error, axial length(AL), tear film break-up time(BUT), corneal endothelial cell density, corneal staining grading, lens decentration, and refractive power at 15°-30° were measured before and after wearing orthokeratology, with a follow-up duration of 1.5 a.RESULTS: The uncorrected visual acuity of CRT and VST subgroups in the low myopia group showed no statistical significance at any time point after wearing orthokeratology. However, in the moderate myopia group, CRT subgroup showed better uncorrected visual acuity than the VST subgroup, with significant differences at 1 d and 1 wk(t=-9.474, -12.067, both P<0.01); no significant differences were noted at other time points. After wearing lens for 6 mo and 1.5 a, the AL growth for the CRT subgroup in low and moderate myopia was less than the VST subgroup, with no statistically significant differences. There were no statistically significant differences in binocular BUT and corneal endothelial cell density after wearing lens for 6 mo and 1.5 a. Corneal injury was lower in the CRT subgroup than that in the VST subgroup, but the difference was not statistically significant(Z=-1.803, P=0.071). Lens decentration was significantly better in the CRT subgroup than in the VST subgroup(Z=-4.629, P<0.001). In the periphery of the retina at 15°-30°, there were no significant differences in the amount of myopic defocus between the two groups, while it was statistically significant at 1, 3, and 6 mo in the moderate myopia subgroup(t=-3.949, P=0.008; t=-5.833, P<0.001; t=-6.231, P<0.001), indicating that CRT subgroup could produce a greater amount of myopic defocus.CONCLUSION: For patients with low E-value corneal morphology, CRT, using the vector height at 8 mm on the cornea for fitting, is not limited to the corneal E-value. It shapes faster and improves uncorrected visual acuity after shaping, especially for moderate myopia, achieving better daytime vision. In terms of controlling myopia, CRT fitting elevates return zone depth(RZD), creating a small central optical zone to produce more peripheral myopic defocus. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in controlling AL growth. Both groups showed minimal corneal damage, indicating consistent safety in myopia control.

Objective To observe the sedative and analgesic effect of remazolam combined with sufentanil during ultrasound-guided nerve block in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in our hospital from January to June 2023 were selected.They were randomly assigned to two groups with 40 cases in each group.In anesthesia preparation room,one group was injected intravenously 10 ml remazolam(0.15 mg/kg)+ sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg(R group)and the other group was injected intravenously 10 ml normal saline +sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg(S group).Ultrasound-guided nerve block was performed 2 min later.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)of the two groups were observed during the process of postural position,nerve block puncture and drug injection.Whether there was any discomfort or body movement during the nerve block process were recorded.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate,and pulse oxygen saturation were measured at baseline,5 min after intravenous injection,nerve block injection,and 10 min after nerve block.Adverse reactions were noted.Results The VAS scores of the R group were 0 point at the time of postural position,nerve block puncture and drug injection,which were significantly lower than those of the S group(all P =0.000).The incidence of sore swelling,electrical sensation,and pain at the time of nerve block of the R group were lower than those of the S group(P<0.05).The incidence of transient glossoptosis of the R group was higher than that of the S group(6 cases vs.0 case,P =0.026).The MAP before and after nerve block in the S group remained at a high level(>95 mm Hg),and the highest MAP appeared at the time point of nerve block;while the MAP of the R group decreased and remained at 80-90 mm Hg after sedation.Conclusion Remazolam combined with sufentanil can provide safe,painless,fear free"comfort medical service"for nerve block sedation and analgesia in anesthesia preparation room,and does not increase the risk of nerve injury and local anesthetic poisoning.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of P311 in the differentiation of mouse skin fibroblasts (Fbs) into myofibroblasts.Methods:The study was an experimental research. Six 2-day-old male C57BL/6 mouse were used to extract skin Fbs by enzymatic hydrolysis method and routinely cultured. The 1 st to 3 rd passage cells were taken and divided into empty vector group transfected with empty adenovirus and P311 group transfected with P311 high expression adenovirus, and P311+myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTF-A) small interfering RNA (siMRTF-A) group transfected with P311 high expression adenovirus and siMRTF-A according to the random number table. After 72 h of culture, the cell proliferation vitality of cells in 3 groups was detected by cell counting kit 8, the protein expressions of MRTF-A, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and serum response factor (SRF) in cells in 3 groups were detected by Western blotting, the collagen gel contraction assay was performed and the 72 h gel contraction rates in 3 groups were calculated. The sample numbers in the above experiments were all 3. The protein expressions of MRTF-A and SRF in cells, cytoplasm, and nucleus in cells in empty vector group and P311 group were detected by Western blotting, with sample number of 4. Results:After 72 h of culture, the cell proliferation vitality of cells in empty vector group, P311 group, and P311+siMRTF-A group was similar ( P>0.05). After 72 h of culture, compared with those in empty vector group, the protein expressions of MRTF-A, α-SMA, and SRF in cells in P311 group were significantly increased ( P<0.05), while the protein expressions of MRTF-A and SRF in cells in P311+siMRTF-A group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Compared with those in P311 group, the protein expressions of MRTF-A, SRF, and α-SMA in cells in P311+siMRTF-A group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The 72 h gel contraction rate showing cell contractility in P311 group was (84.8±6.2)%, which was significantly higher than (27.8±2.6)% in empty vector group and (24.7±3.2)% in P311+siMRTF-A group (with P values all <0.05). The 72 h gel contraction rates in empty vector group and P311+siMRTF-A group were similar ( P>0.05). After 72 hours of culture, the protein expressions of MRTF-A (with t values of 5.86 and 3.77, respectively, P<0.05) and SRF (with t values of 3.95 and 3.97, respectively, P<0.05) in cells and cytoplasm in P311 group were significantly higher than those in empty vector group, while the protein expressions of MRTF-A and SRF in the nucleus of cells were similar between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:P311 can promote the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts through MRTF-A, and then participate in scar formation.

Objective:To explored the correlation between anxiety and depression and cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)in the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), and analyzed the influencing factors of anxiety and depression.Methods:Clinical data of 101 elderly T2DM inpatients admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from July 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and clinical features, laboratory tests and examination data were collected.The Hamilton Depression Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used for assessment, with a cut-off value of 14 points for anxiety and 8 points for depression.Brain scans were performed using 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner, including T1WI sequence, T2WI sequence, 3D-FLAIR sequence, SWI sequence.According to the total MRI load scoring standard of CSVD proposed by Staals, MRI imaging changes of CSVD, namely lacunar foci(LIs), cerebral microhemorrhage(CMBs), perivascular space(PVSs), and white matter high signal(WMHs), were analyzed and scored respectively.Load score ≥1 was defined as CSVD group.According to the above criteria, the enrolled patients were divided into depression group and anxiety group, and the clinical characteristics, biochemical test data and MRI imaging characteristics of CSVD between the two groups were analyzed by single factor analysis, and then Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the related factors of the elderly T2DM with anxiety and depression.Binary logistic analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of depression and anxiety in the elderly patients with T2DM.Results:Compared with the non-depressed group, the elderly T2DM patients with depression were older, more female, and the incidence of WMHs and DWMHs was higher( P<0.05).Compared with the non-anxious group, the incidence of WMHs and DWMHs in the elderly T2DM patients with anxiety group was higher( P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that age( r=0.224, P=0.024), WMHs( r=0.231, P=0.020), PWMHs( r=0.201, P=0.044), DWMHs( r=0.274, P=0.006)was positively correlated with depression in the elderly T2DM, while gender( r=-0.225, P=0.024)、ALT( r=-0.208, P=0.037)、AST( r=-0.204, P=0.041)was negatively correlated with depression in the elderly T2DM.WMHs( r=0.213, P=0.033)and DWMHs( r=0.270, P=0.006)were positively correlated with anxiety in the elderly T2DM.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that gender( OR=0.359, 95% CI: 0.130-0.990, P=0.048), DWMHs(OR=4.373, 95% CI: 1.290-14.828, P=0.018)were the influencing factors for the elderly T2DM patients with depression, and DWMHs( OR=5.000, 95% CI: 1.444-17.317, P=0.011)was the influencing factors for the elderly T2DM patients with anxiety. Conclusions:DWMHs is closely related to the onset of depression and anxiety in the elderly T2DM patients, suggesting that CSVD may be involved in the development of depression and anxiety in the elderly T2DM patients.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).
