Objective:To evaluate the relationship between Sestrin2 and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-NOD-like receptor associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway during endotoxin-induced myocardial injury in mice.Methods:One hundred and eighty-four clean-grade healthy male ICR mice, aged 8-12 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were used in this study. One hundred and sixty-eight mice were divided into 7 groups ( n=24 each) using the random number table method: normal control group (N group), lipopolysaccaride(LPS) group (L group), mtDNA group, LPS+ mtDNA group (M group), normal control+ negative control adeno-associated virus (AAV-NC)group (NC group), LPS+ mtDNA+ AAV-NC group (MC group), and LPS+ mtDNA+ Sestrin2 overexpression adeno-associated virus (AAV-Sestrin2) group (MSgroup). Another 10 mice were used to detect the transfection effect of AAV-Sestrin2, and the left 6 mice were used for mtDNA extraction. The model of endotoxemia was developed by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 10 mg/kg. mtDNA 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in mtDNA group, and mtDNA 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min after LPS injection in M group.AAV-Sestrin2 150 μl was injected via the tail vein in MS group, and the equal volume of AAV-NC was injected via the tail vein in MC and NC groups. Four weeks after virus injection, LPS 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected and 30 min later mtDNA 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in MS and MC groups. Blood samples were collected at 24 h after LPS injection for determination of serum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities (by biochemical assay), concentrations of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1β)(by enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay), and expression of mtDNA (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). The animals were sacrificed after the end of blood sampling and myocardial tissues were obtained for determination of the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and expression of NOD-like receptor associated protein 3 (NLRP3), active subunit p20 of caspase-1 (caspase-1p20) and apoptosis-associated microprotein (ASC) in myocardial tissues (by Western blot) and for microscopic examination of the pathological changes after HE staining (with a light microscope). Results:Compared with N group, the levels of CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were significantly increased, the expression of mtDNA was up-regulated, the ROS content in myocardial tissues was increased, the T-AOC and ATP contents in myocardial tissues were decreased, the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1p20 and ASC in the myocardial tissues was up-regulated( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of myocardial tissues were aggravated in L group and mtDNA group.Compared with L group and mtDNA group, the levels of CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were significantly increased, the expression of mtDNA was up-regulated, the ROS content in myocardial tissues was increased, the T-AOC and ATP contents in myocardial tissues were decreased, the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1p20 and ASC in the myocardial tissues was up-regulated( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of myocardial tissues were aggravated in M group. Compared with M group, the levels of CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were significantly decreased, the expression of mtDNA was down-regulated, the ROS content in myocardial tissues was decreased, the T-AOC and ATP contents in myocardial tissues were increased, the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1p20 and ASC in the myocardial tissues was down-regulated( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of myocardial tissues were significantly attenuated in MS group. Conclusions:Sestrin2 can reduce endotoxin-induced myocardial injury in mice by alleviating mitochondrial damage, inhibiting oxidative stress, protecting mtDNA from oxidative damage, and then inhibiting mtDNA-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Objective:To survey the status quo and influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services in urban communities of Suzhou city.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey on the status quo and influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services was conducted from July to October 2022 among 750 residents from 40 communities of 4 subdistricts in Suzhou Gusu District, selected by stratified random sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire was used for the survey, which included demographic information, status quo of pay services among residents and factors influencing the service contracting. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services.Results:A total of 750 questionnaires were distributed, with 720 valid ones returned at a recovery rate of 96.0%. Among the 720 residents, 370 (51.4%) were female, and 300 (41.7%) were between the age of 35 and 60 years old. There were 71 residents who had contracted pay services with a contracting rate of 9.9% (71/720), and the renewal rate was 80.3% (57/71). The top 3 reasons for signing the contract were health guidance (67.6%, 48/71), medical counselling (63.4%, 45/71) and 3 free consultations (57.7%, 41/71). The top 3 reasons for not signing a contract were not needing services (49.9%, 324/649), not knowing about contracted services (41.9%, 272/649) and rarely visiting the community health service center (25.6%, 166/649). Age ( χ2=21.072), marital status ( χ2=10.969), knowing the family doctor team ( χ2=145.954), knowing the family doctor contract system ( χ2=133.981), knowing the content and the rights of the contracted services ( χ2=132.905), using primary medical institutions as first choice for common and chronic diseases ( χ2=13.532), multiple comorbid chronic diseases ( χ2=30.024), being agreed by family members ( χ2=46.258), signing contract in family members ( χ2=108.833) or relatives and friends ( χ2=47.492), and experience in community health service centers ( χ2=26.116) were significantly associated with the contract signing (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that knowing family doctor team well ( OR=23.13,95% CI:5.05-105.97) or very well( OR=95.28,95% CI: 10.71-847.68); having ≥3 chronic diseases compared to no chronic diseases ( OR=5.60, 95% CI: 1.88-16.75, P<0.05); contracting agreed by family members compared to not agreed ( OR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.03-6.84, P<0.05); signing contract in family members compared to not signing ( OR=4.42, 95% CI:2.05-9.55, P<0.05) were independent influencing factors of signing contract of family doctor pay services. Conclusions:The rate of contracted of family doctor pay services in Gusu District of Suzhou City is relatively low. Knowing the family doctor team, having multiple comorbid chronic diseases, agreement among family members, and signing contract in family members are influencing factors of contracted family doctor pay services.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum cystatin C (CysC) and clinical and pathological features of IgA nephropathy.Methods:Four hundred and twenty-one cases of primary IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy in Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2010 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the serum CysC level at the time of renal biopsy, the patients were divided into high serum CysC group and normal serum CysC group, and the clinical data and pathological indices of the patients were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum CysC. The clinicopathological factors related to the serum CysC level were analyzed by multiple linear regression. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the ability of serum CysC level to predict related pathological injury.Results:The age, prevalence of hypertension, serum creatinine, urea and uric acid levels of high serum CysC group were significantly higher than those of normal serum CysC group, while the eGFR level was significantly lower than that of normal serum CysC group ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum CysC was negatively correlated with eGFR ( r=-0.744, P<0.001). In terms of pathological injury, the degree of renal tubular atrophy and renal interstitial fibrosis (T) and renal arteriole wall thickening (A) in high serum CysC group were more serious than those in normal serum CysC group ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the prevalence of hypertension, serum creatinine, urea, uric acid, T and A were correlated with serum CysC levels (standard regression coefficient β=0.048, 0.299, 0.260, 0.134, 0.195, 0.068, respectively, P<0.05). After adding serum CysC on the basis of clinical features, the prediction efficiency of renal tubular atrophy and renal interstitial fibrosis was higher (AUC were 0.829 [95% CI 0.787-0.870], 0.847 [95% CI 0.808-0.886], P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with older age, hypertension, poor renal function and severe pathological damage are more likely to have elevated serum CysC levels. Serum CysC was related to the prevalence of hypertension, creatinine, urea, uric acid, T and A. Combined with serum CysC level can effectively improve the ability prediction of T.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of poor vision and spatial distribution characteristics among primary school students in Shenzhen.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Vision screening among primary school students in Shenzhen was carried out by myopia screening hospitals organized by Shenzhen Myopia Prevention and Control Center for Children and Adolescents using the logarithmic visual acuity chart in 2019.The prevalence of poor vision in different districts, different genders and different grades was calculated.Spatial distribution of the prevalence of poor vision was analyzed with Arcgis 10.2 software.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from guardian of each subject.The study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Eye Hospital (No.20201230-06).Results:A total of 1 044 545 students received the visual acuity examination.The prevalence of poor vision among primary school students in Shenzhen in 2019 was 53.4%(557 748/1 044 545). The prevalence of poor vision among primary school students in the former Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was 56.7%(172 771/304 532), which was higher than 52.0%(384 977/740 013) in areas outside the former Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and the prevalence of poor vision among girls was 56.7%(268 201/473 164), which was higher than 50.7%(289 547/571 381) among boys, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=192.412, 375.434; both at P<0.001). As the grade increased, the prevalence of poor vision firstly decreased and then increased, showing an increasing tendency in general.The prevalence rate of poor vision among primary school students among grade 1 to 6 was 49.8%(99 615/200 203), 44.0%(86 521/196 800), 47.2%(82 848/175 331), 54.5%(89 737/164 731), 60.8%(96 271/158 298), and 68.9%(102 756/149 182), respectively, and a significant difference was found ( χ2=2 871.017, P<0.001). The global Moran I index in Shenzhen was 0.278.The local Moran I index and Geary coefficient in Guangming District were 0.933 and 0.78, respectively.The prevalence of poor vision in Guangming District and its surrounding areas was a low-low cluster. Conclusions:The prevalence of poor vision among primary school students in Shenzhen is spatially aggregated.
7.A consensus on the management of allergy in kindergartens and primary schools
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):167-172
Abstract
Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection severely threatens global health and economic development. No effective antiviral drug is currently available to treat COVID-19 and any other human coronavirus infections. We report herein that a macrolide antibiotic, carrimycin, potently inhibited the cytopathic effects (CPE) and reduced the levels of viral protein and RNA in multiple cell types infected by human coronavirus 229E, OC43, and SARS-CoV-2. Time-of-addition and pseudotype virus infection studies indicated that carrimycin inhibited one or multiple post-entry replication events of human coronavirus infection. In support of this notion, metabolic labelling studies showed that carrimycin significantly inhibited the synthesis of viral RNA. Our studies thus strongly suggest that carrimycin is an antiviral agent against a broad-spectrum of human coronaviruses and its therapeutic efficacy to COVID-19 is currently under clinical investigation.
