[Objective] To investigate the factors associated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) abnormalities in multi-ethnic blood donors across five Zang autonomous prefectures in the plateau regions of Qinghai Province, and to provide evidence for ensuring blood safety and formulating screening strategies. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on the ALT abnormal test results of blood donors in the Zang autonomous prefectures of Qinghai from 2022 to 2024. The correlations between ALT levels and factors including gender, age, altitude, and infectious markers were investigated. [Results] The overall ALT unqualified rate among blood donors in this region was 9.01%. Significant differences in ALT levels were observed across genders and age groups (P<0.05). Variations in ALT abnormality rates were also noted among different plateau regions (P<0.05). Overall, ALT values exhibited an increasing trend with rising altitude. The average ALT unqualified rates were 11.19% in Zang donors, 7.96% in Han donors, and 4.79% in donors from other ethnic groups (P<0.05). No statistically significant association was observed between ALT abnormality and the presence of HBV/HCV infectious markers (P>0.05). [Conclusion] In the plateau areas of Qinghai, multi-ethnic blood donors have a relatively high ALT levels and ALT unqualified rates, showing distinct regional characteristics. ALT elevation in voluntary blood donors is related to non-pathological factors such as gender, age, and dietary habits, but not to infectious indicators.

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 investigate the therapeutic effect of Ganmai Dazao Tang on breast cancer-related depression and explore the mechanism of the decoction in regulating immune inflammation and neurotransmitters via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. MethodBALB/c mice were randomized into control, model, fluoxetine (5 mg·kg-1·d-1), and low- and high-dose (crude drug 20 and 40 g·kg-1, respectively) Ganmai Dazao Tang groups (n=10). The mouse model of 4T1 orthotopic transplantation-induced breast cancer-related depression-like behavior was established. The depression-like behavior of mice was assessed by the tail suspension test and the forced swimming test. RT-qPCR was employed to determine the mRNA levels of interleukin (IL)-17A, forkhead box P3 (FoxP3),IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the cerebral cortex. Flow cytometry was employed to measure the proportions of immune cell subsets in the spleen and thymus. HPLC-MS/MS was employed to measure neurotransmitter levels in the cerebral cortex. Western blotting was employed to detect the activation of the MAPK/NF-κB pathway. ResultCompared with the model group, administration of Ganmai Dazao Tang at a dose of 40 g crude drug·kg-1 continuously for 4 weeks shortened the immobility time of modeled mice in the tail suspension and forced swimming tests (P<0.05), down-regulated the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-17A, and TNF-α (P<0.05), increased the proportions of T cells, CD4+ T cells, B cells, helper T 17 (Th17) cells, and regulatory T (Treg) cells, and reduced the proportion of CD8+ T cells (P<0.05). Furthermore, it lowered the levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and kynurenine (Kyn), decreased the kynurenine/tryptophan (Kyn/Trp) ratio (P<0.05), increased the content of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and down-regulated the protein levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), phosphorylated p38 MAPK, and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65 (P<0.05). ConclusionGanmai Dazao Tang can down-regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17A, and TNF-α, restore 5-HT metabolism and Kyn/Trp balance, increase the 5-HT content, and reduce the activation of p38 MAPK, ERK, and the MAPK-mediated NF-κB signaling pathway to reduce neuroinflammation in the treatment of cancer-related depression.

Objective:To explore the differences in tumor-specific growth factors, cellular immune function and efficacy of olaparib and platinum-containing regimen for treatment of platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer patients with BRCA mutation.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 100 platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA-mutant ovarian cancer patients in Baoding Second Central Hospital from September 2017 to March 2020 were retrospectively selected. The clinical data of the patients were analyzed, and they were divided into the olaparib group (treated with olaparib tablets) and the platinum-containing regimen group (treated with paclitaxel and platinum drugs for 6 cycles, followed by olaparib tablets maintenance therapy), with 50 patients in each group. The clinical efficacy, tumor specific growth factor [carbohydrate antigen (CA) 125, CA199, human epididymal protein 4 (HE4)] levels, cellular immune function-related indicators [T-cell subsets (proportions of CD3 + cells and CD4 + cells), CD4 + cells/CD8 + cells ratio (CD4 +/CD8 +)], and quality of life scores before treatment and after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment of the two groups were compared, as well as the safety of the two groups. The data of three years of follow-up were obtained, Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients in the two groups, and log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The age of patients in the olaparib and platinum-containing regimen groups was (53±7) years old and (56±7) years old, respectively. The differences in compositions of patients with different age, body mass index, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score, primary tumor location, lesion size, pathological stage, pathological type, germline BRCA mutation, and previous chemotherapy response between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). The objective response rate (ORR) [58.0% (29/50) vs. 38.0% (19/50)] and disease control rate (DCR) [80.0% (40/50) vs. 56.0% (28/50)] of the olaparib group after treatment were higher than those of the platinum-containing regimen group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). Serum CA125, CA199 and HE4 levels were gradually decreased in both groups before treatment and after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment (all P < 0.05); serum CA125, CA199 and HE4 levels in the olaparib group after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment were lower than those in the platinum-containing regimen group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The CD3 + cells ratio, CD4 + cell ratio and CD4 +/CD8 + in the olaparib group gradually increased before treatment and after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment (all P < 0.05), while those in the platinum-containing regimen group all gradually decreased (all P < 0.05); the CD3 + cells ratio, CD4 + cells ratio and CD4 +/CD8 + in the olaparib group were higher than those in the platinum-containing regimen group after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The quality of life scores of both groups increased before treatment and after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment (all P < 0.05), and the quality of life scores of the olaparib group were higher than those of the platinum-containing regimen group after 2, 4 and 6 cycles of treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The incidence of nausea, fatigue and malaise, vomiting, anemia, and diarrhea at all levels in the olaparib group was lower than those in the platinum-containing regimen group (all P < 0.05). By follow-up for 3 years, there was no statistically significant difference in PFS between the olaparib group and the platinum-containing regimen group ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of olaparib treatment in platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer patients with BRCA mutation is superior to platinum-containing regimen, and it can increase the level of T cells, inhibit the expression of tumor-specific growth factors, improve the quality of life, and have a positive effect on improving the safety of treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status of liver function abnormalities in patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) in Shanghai community, to explore the related factors to abnormal liver function in patients with SMD, and to analyze the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on liver function abnormalities. MethodsThe patients with SMD in Jinshan District, Minhang District, Hongkou District and Xuhui District of Shanghai were selected as the research subjects. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted to obtain their demographic characteristics and liver function indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBil). The types of mental disorders and medication status of patients in Jinshan District were also investigated. Abnormalities in liver function were determined by abnormalities in either ALT or TBil. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis of the status of abnormal liver function, and the effects of mental disorder types and medication status on liver function were analyzed, simultaneously. ResultsA total of 7 251 patients with SMD were finally included into this study, and the rate of liver function abnormality was 22.7%, of which 694 cases (9.6%) had ALT abnormality and 1 084 cases (14.9%) had TBil abnormality. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of liver function abnormalities was higher in males than that in females (χ2=45.026, P<0.001), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (χ2=25.317, P<0.001), higher in those with higher BMI than in those with lower BMI (χ2=63.748, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood pressure (BP) than in those without elevated BP (χ2=24.774, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (χ2=43.345, P<0.001), higher in those with abnormal triglyceride (TG) than in those with normal TG (χ2=15.551,P<0.001), and higher in those with abnormal total cholesterol (TC) than in those with normal TC (χ2=10.962, P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of abnormal liver function was higher in males than that in females (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.73), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.21‒1.70), higher in those with overweight than in those with normal BMI (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.33), higher in those with obesity than in those with those with normal BMI (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.91), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.23‒1.58), and higher in those with abnormal TC than in those with normal TC (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.65).The difference in the rate of ALT abnormalities among the SMD patients in Jinshan District with different medication status was statistically significant (χ2=21.928, P<0.001). Whereas, the differences in the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on the status of liver function abnormalities were not statistically significant(P>0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of liver function abnormalities in community-based SMD patients in Shanghai is high, and male, suburban, and accompanied by elevated BMI, BP, blood glucose, and TC are risk factors for liver function abnormalities in patients with SMD. Primary healthcare providers should pay more attention to the liver function of patients with SMD and initiate targeted and tailored prevention, detection and treatment measures.
