Aims To study single dose toxicity of poly-phenols effective parts from Punica granatum,to eval-uate their safety,and thus to provide a theoretical basis for drug development and clinical use.To observe their protective effect on ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in rats.Methods 50 healthy Kunming mice were ran-domly divided into five groups and given different doses of polyphenols’effective parts from Punica granatum via intragastric administration.Toxicity and death in each group of mice were observed and recorded after administration for 14 d.The median lethal dose was calculated by Bliss method.70 rats were randomly di-vided into normal group,model group(constant volume of normal saline),sanjiuweitai particles(1 850 mg· kg-1 )group,colloidal bismuth subcitrate (33 mg · kg-1 )group and polyphenols effective parts from Puni-ca granatum low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose(430, 852,1 704 mg·kg-1 )groups.On the 9th day of 10 days’gavage,all except the normal group were fed ethanol (1.5 mL/only)to induce gastric mucosal inju-ry in rats with acute gastric ulcer.Gastric ulcer index, the rate of ulcer inhibition were calculated for each group.The morphological changes of gastric mucosa were observed.The gastric mucosa levels of PGE2 , NO,SOD and MDA were determined.Results The LD50 and 95%confidence limit of the polyphenols’ef-fective parts from Punica granatum were 8 520.9 mg· kg-1 and 7 291.2 ~9 914.4 mg·kg-1,respectively. Pathology showed that the organs receiving dose of 16 000 mg · kg-1 had different degrees of damage . Compared with the model group,the extract from Puni-ca granatum significantly repaired the gastric mucosa, and significantly increased the gastric mucosa levels of NO and reduced MDA content,and improved SOD content and the levels of PGE2 .Conclousion The dose of 5 063 mg · kg-1 of polyphenols effective part from Punica granatum showed no death.The dose of 16 000 mg · kg-1 of polyphenols effective parts from Punica granatum could cause varying degrees of dam-age in heart,liver,lung,kidney or the death of mice. The LD50 and 95% confidence limit of the polyphenols effective parts from Punica granatum were 8 520.9 mg ·kg-1 and 7 291.2 ~9 914.4 mg·kg-1,respective-ly.The extract from Punica granatum plays a protective role against gastric mucosa damage induced by absolute ethanol,and the mechanism may be related to promo-ting ulcer epithelial cells synthesis,enhancing mucosal regeneration function,regulating NO content and en-hancing antioxidant capacity.

Objective: To evaluate the health risk of drinking water in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province from 2021 to 2022, so as to provide insights into ensuring the safety of drinking water. Methods: The monitoring data of drinking water from 2021 to 2022 in Ningbo City were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The routine indicators and disinfectant indicators (radioactivity indicators were excluded) of drinking water were evaluated according to the reference limits issued by Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB 5749-2006), and the qualification rates were calculated. The indicators with detection rate higher than 50% were selected, and assessed the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks via drinking water using the risk assessment model recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Results: A total of 1 678 samples were monitored in Ningbo City from 2021 to 2022. Sodium hypochlorite was the main disinfectant among 1 558 samples from centralized water supply (1 079 samples, 64.30%), and none of the 120 samples from decentralized water supply underwent disinfection treatment. The qualification rate of 88.38%, and the pollutants with a detection rate higher than 50% were nitrate, fluoride, trichloromethane and aluminum. The median carcinogenic risk value of trichloromethane was 2.964×10-6 (interquartile range, 3.909×10-6), and the median hazard quotient values of nitrate, fluoride, trichloromethane and aluminum were 1.631×10-2 (interquartile range, 1.361×10-2), 3.955×10-2 (3.164×10-2), 2.231×10-2 (2.942×10-2) and 2.136×10-4 (6.573×10-4), respectively. Conclusion The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks through drinking water for 17 pollutants in drinking water of Ningbo City from 2021 to 2022 were at low levels.

Acupuncture and Tuina therapies have been accepted by the local people, while Chinese medicine is still around the acceptance. Right now, Russian economy is on a recovering stage, so it's good time for TCM to carry service trading during this time. TCM development in Russia need to focus on the input of medical resources, managements and regulations, proceeding TCM teaching work and bringing along TCM service trade by acupuncture therapy.

Group-A rotaviruses are recognized as the most common cause of acute diarrhea. Phylogenetic analyses of the VP7 genes of rotaviruses circulating in Nanjing (China) could aid in the development of rotavirus vaccines. A total of 908 stool specimens were collected from patients suffering from acute diarrhea in Nanjing between October 2012 and December 2013, and were tested further for rotaviruses. Fifty rotavirus isolates selected randomly were typed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using serotype-specific primers for G genotyping. VP7 genes of 19 G9 strains were sequenced for further genetic characterization. Among the 908 stool specimens examined during the surveillance period, 103 (11.34%) were rotavirus-positive. G9 was the most predominant genotype (78.0%), followed by G2, G1 and G3. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of the VP7 genes of serotype G9 rotaviruses revealed these strains to comprise two lineages (G9-VI, G9-III) and to be dominated by the G9-VI lineage (which belonged to a unique subcluster of Japanese and Chinese G9 strains). Amino-acid sequences of the four antigenic regions (A, B, C or F) were variant among a portion of strains, which may have contributed to the prevalence of G9 rotaviruses in this area.

Among them, 26 patients were examined by 90°conventional defecography position (conventional position group), 26 patients by 60° to 89° defecography position (61° to 89° position group), and 26 patients by 30° to 59° Asian squat defecography position (Asian squat position group). The results of defecography, constipation score and defecography abnormality were compared among the three groups.Results:The encysted rectum, internal rectal intussusception and descending distance of perineum in 61° to 89° position group and Asian squat position group were significantly lower than those in conventional position group: (2.71 ± 0.25) and (2.11 ± 0.66) mm vs. (3.06 ± 0.23) mm, (9.06 ± 1.78) and (8.55 ± 2.81) mm vs. (10.22 ± 1.59) mm, (11.52 ± 2.70) and (10.52 ± 2.93) mm vs. (12.52 ± 3.43) mm, the indexes in Asian squat position group were significantly lower than those in 61° to 89° position group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); the anal right angle and the anal right angle in force discharge state in 61° to 89° position group and Asian squat position group were significantly higher than those in conventional position group: (120.47 ± 3.35)° and (122.44 ± 3.33)° vs. (118.19 ± 3.66)°, (19.99 ± 3.47)° and (20.25 ± 2.69)° vs. (18.77 ± 2.79)°, the indexes in Asian squat position group were significantly higher than those in 61° to 89° position group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in resting anal right angle among the three groups ( P>0.05). The Longo outlet obstructive constipation score, Wexner constipation score and constipation severity score in 61° to 89° position group and Asian squat position group were significantly lower than those in conventional position group: (14.41 ± 2.66) and (12.24 ± 3.49) scores vs. (16.64 ± 3.37) scores, (13.79 ± 2.74) and (12.83 ± 3.08) scores vs. (15.76 ± 3.56) scores, (13.34 ± 2.72) and (12.31 ± 2.52) scores vs. (16.08 ± 3.57) scores, the indexes in Asian squat position group were significantly lower than those in 61° to 89° position group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The detection rates of abnormal defecography in conventional position group, 61° to 89° position group and Asian squat position group were 96.15% (25/26), 84.62% (22/26) and 69.23% (18/26), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); among them, the detection rate of abnormal defecography in Asian squat position group was significantly lower than that in conventional position group, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The defecation function and imaging indexes are optimized in patients with chronic constipation based on the guidance of "simulation contrast agent" adopted the Asian squat position, and their significantly.

Objective To explore the effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Interleukin-12(IL-12) on immune response to hepatitis B vaccination in infants of HBsAg-positive mothers.Methods A total of 91 neonates whose mothers were HBsAg-positive were included and followed up for 12 months.HBV DNA and HBV serological markers in the peripheral blood of the neonates and infants were detected with fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) and chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA),and the levels of IL-6 and IL-12 in the peripheral blood of the neonates and infants were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The non-/hypo-response rate to hepatitis B vaccination was 35.16％ (32/91) in the 91 infants.In the neonatal period and infantile period,the level of IL-6 in non-/hypo-response group was lower than that in high-response group,while the level of IL-12 was higher than that in high-response group,and there was significant difference (P＜0.01).From the neonatal period to the infantile period,the level of IL-6 increased,while the level of IL-12 descended in both groups,and there was significant difference (P＜0.01).Furthermore,the level of anti-HBs of infants was positively correlated with the level of IL-6 (rs =0.70,0.79,P＜ 0.01),and was negatively correlated with the level of IL-12 (rs=-0.71,-0.72,P＜0.01) in the neonatal period and the infantile period.From the neonatal period to the infantile period,the increased level of IL-6 was positively associated with the level of anti-HBs (rs =-0.74,P＜0.01),while the decreased level of IL-12 was negatively associated with the level of anti-HBs (rs=-0.42,P＜0.01).The level of IL-6 was negatively correlated with the level of IL-12 in the neonatal period and the infantile period (rs=-0.68,-0.70,P＜0.01).Conclusions IL-6 might promote the immune response to hepatitis B vaccination in infants whose mothers were HBsAg-positive,while IL-12 might inhibit the immune response.IL-6 and IL-12 would affect the immune response to hepatitis B vaccination in infants of HBsAg-positive mothers at the same time.
