Objective To analyze the operation of Measles Surveillance System (MSS) in Hebei Province, and to provide evidence for measles elimination. Methods Measles surveillance data was collected from the MSS from 2020 to 2023, and a modified weighted technology for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was used to evaluate the surveillance indexes of measles in Hebei Province. Results The operation quality of the measles surveillance system in Hebei Province was improved year by year, with the highest quality in 2023, and all the indicators reached the monitoring program standards. The quality of measles surveillance system was not balanced among cities, and the main influencing factor was the substandard sensitivity indicators. The quality of measles surveillance system was the highest in Baoding City and the lowest in Zhangjiakou City. Conclusion The measles surveillance system in Hebei province is running well, and the sensitivity of the surveillance system should be improved to keep the high-quality operation of the surveillance system.

Objective To investigate the effect of FUNDC1 tyrosine phosphorylation site mutations on mitophagy in H9c2 myocardial cells by constructing tyrosine site mutant plasmids (Y11 and Y18) of the FUN14 domain-containing protein 1 (FUNDC1). Methods The mutant plasmids constructed by whole-gene synthesis were transfected into rat myocardial H9c2 cells and divided into five groups: empty plasmid group, FUNDC1 overexpression group, Y11 mutant group, Y18 mutant group, and Y11 combined with Y18 mutant group. The viability of H9c2 cells was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. Additionally, tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) staining was utilized to detect mitochondrial membrane potential. The protein expression levels of FUNDC1, translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane 20 (TOM20), and cytochrome c oxidase IV (COX IV) were detected by Western blot analysis. Confocal microscopy was used to evaluate transfection efficiency as well as the co-localization of mitochondria and lysosomes. Results The FUNDC1 overexpression, Y11, Y18, and Y11 combined with Y18 mutant plasmids were successfully constructed. After plasmid transfection, widespread GFP fluorescence expression was observed under confocal microscopy. Compared with the empty plasmid group, FUNDC1 protein expression levels were significantly increased in the FUNDC1 overexpression group, Y11 mutation group, Y18 mutation group, and Y11 combined with Y18 mutation group, while cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential showed no significant changes. Compared to the empty plasmid group, cells transfected with Y18 and Y11 combined with Y18 mutant plasmids showed increased TOM20 and COX IV expression levels and decreased mitochondrial-lysosomal co-localization. Conclusion Transfection with FUNDC1 Y18 or Y11 combined with Y18 mutant plasmids inhibited mitophagy in H9c2 myocardial cells.

Background The decline of physical activity in the elderly due to aging may increase the risk of sarcopenia. Currently, there is a lack of evidence from large natural populations on the relationship between PA and sarcopenia. Objective To explore the relationship between PA and sarcopenia in the elderly aged 60 years and above in 10 provinces (autonomous regions) of China. Methods Data were retrieved from the 2022—2023 round of the China Development and Nutrition Health Impact Cohort. Personal basic information and PA data were collected by questionnaire survey. Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bio-electrical impedance analysis, muscle strength was measured using a grip dynamometer, and physical performance was reflected by 6-meter walk speed. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria were used to diagnose sarcopenia. Light physical activity (LPA) duration, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) duration, and total physical activity volume were calculated. A total of 3326 residents aged ≥60 years with complete data were selected as the survey participants. Multiple logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to assess the association between PA duration/volume and sarcopenia. Results In 10 provinces (autonomous regions) of China, the prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly aged 60 years and above was 5.5% (95%CI: 4.7%, 6.2%). The logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the elderly reporting 0-7.0 h·week⁻¹ in LPA duration, the risk of sarcopenia in the elderly with LPA duration of >14.0-21.0 h·week⁻¹ was reduced by 51% (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.26, 0.96). Compared with the elderly with total physical activity ≥15.0 metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-h·week⁻¹, those with <7.5 MET-h·week⁻¹ had a 2.24-fold increased risk of sarcopenia (OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.17, 4.29). The RCS results found that LPA duration and total physical activity volume each showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship with the risk of sarcopenia (P_overall<0.05, P_non-linear<0.05). Compared with the elderly with an LPA duration of 0 h· week⁻¹, the risk of sarcopenia in the elderly with an LPA duration of 12.6 h· week⁻¹ was the lowest (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.21, 0.83). Compared with the elderly with a total physical activity volume of 15.0 MET-h· week⁻¹, the elderly with a total physical activity volume of 46.0 MET-h· week⁻¹ had the lowest risk of sarcopenia (OR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.38, 0.84). There was no statistically significant association between weekly MVPA duration and the risk of sarcopenia (P>0.05). Conclusion Increasing weekly LPA duration and total physical activity volume would help to reduce the risk of sarcopenia.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of GP (B-A-B) hybrid glycophorins in several Chinese minority populations from southern regions of China (Guangdong & Guizhou). Methods: Whole blood samples were collected from 536 blood donors representing 15 different Chinese ethnic minority groups, including She, Bouyei, Yi and Miao, as well as Chuanqing populations. Genomic DNA was extracted and GYP (B-A-B) genotyping was conducted by high resolution melting (HRM) minority method using the GYPB pseudoexon 3-specific primers. Direct sequencing of GYPB pseudoexon 3 was performed in the samples with variant curves. Results: Only one genotype of GP (B-A-B) hybrid glycophorins (GYP Mur/GYPB) was identified among these 536 samples. In total, 15 She (15/162, 9.26%), 18 Bouyei (18/113, 15.93%), 3 Yi (3/79, 3.80%), 3 Chuanqing (3/45, 6.67%), 2 Bai (2/42, 4.76%), 3 Miao (3/40, 7.50%), 1 Shui (1/12, 8.33%), 2 Gelao (2/12, 16.67%), 1 Tujia (1/8, 12.50%) and 1 Dong (1/6, 16.67%) blood donors with heterozygous GYP Mur allele were identified. Among 8 Hui, 5 Manchu, 2 Mongolian, 1 Yao and 1 Li donors, no GYP (B-A-B) hybrid gene carrier was found. In addition, four nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in 6 samples with a variant melting curve detected by HRM. Conclusion: GP. Mur is the most common type of GP (B-A-B) hybrid glycophorins among Chinese minority populations, with frequency varying across different populations. It is recommended to involve GP. Mur reagent cells in the antibody screening cells for populations with a high frequency of GYP Mur allele.

Objective: To investigate trends of incidence, mortality, and years of life lost (YLL) rate of lung cancer in cancer registration areas of Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2021, so as to provide references for formulating lung cancer prevention and control strategies and reducing the disease burden of lung cancer. Methods: The qualified lung cancer registration data from cancer registration areas of Guizhou Province from 2017 to 2021 were collected, the crude incidence and mortality of lung cancer were calculated by urban/rural areas, genders and ages. The standardized incidence and standardized mortality was calculated using the age structure of the standard population from the Fifth National Population Census in 2000. YLL was calculated using the standard life table from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The disease burden of lung cancer was assessed using incidence, mortality, and YLL rate, and the trend in the disease burden of lung cancer from 2017 to 2021 was calculated using annual percent change (APC). Results : From 2017 to 2021, the crude incidence, standardized incidence, crude mortality, standardized mortality, YLL and YLL rate in Guizhou Province were 53.13/100 000, 37.58/100 000, 42.77/100 000, 29.44/100 000, 98.19 thousand person-years and 10.95‰, respectively. The standardized incidence and standardized mortality of lung cancer were higher in rural areas than in urban areas (39.45/100 000 vs. 34.23/100 000, 30.68/100 000 vs. 27.18/100 000). The standardized incidence and standardized mortality of lung cancer were higher in males than in females (49.34/100 000 vs. 26.47/100 000, 41.31/100 000 vs. 18.28/100 000). The crude incidence and crude mortality of lung cancer increased with age, peaking in the 80-<85 age group (360.84/100 000) and the ≥85 age group (414.85/100 000), respectively. From 2017 to 2021, the standardized incidence demonstrated downward trends in the total population, urban areas and males (APC=-6.590%, -5.829%, and -6.729%, all P<0.05). The standardized mortality demonstrated downward trends in urban areas and females (APC=-3.710% and -5.378%, both P<0.05). The YLL rate also showed downward trends in urban areas and females (APC=-3.957% and -3.631%, both P<0.05). Conclusions From 2017 to 2021, the overall disease burden of lung cancer in registration areas of Guizhou Province showed a decreasing trend. However, the disease burden remained relatively heavier in rural areas and males, with a relatively gradual change.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the treatment of various autoimmune and inflammation-related diseases due to their potent immunomodulatory properties. Several studies have demonstrated that MSC-mediated immunomodulation is complex and bidirectional, with the in vivo microenvironment influencing the direction of this modulation. Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an immunosuppressive factor, has been identified as a key "switch" in the immunomodulatory role of MSCs. In this review, we explore how IDO functions as a critical regulator of MSC immunoregulatory plasticity. We delve into the mechanisms by which changes in IDO expression affect the function of various immune cells, summarize relevant research and clinical advances regarding the role of IDO expression in MSC-based therapies for various diseases, and discuss potential therapeutic strategies that target IDO to enhance the stability of MSC therapeutic effects. This provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing MSCs as safer and more effective clinical therapeutic agents.

In continuation of research aimed at identifying anti-inflammatory agents from natural sesquiterpenoids, an activity-guided fractionation approach utilizing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated RAW264.7 cells was employed to investigate chemical constituents from Inula Britannica (I. britannica). Seven novel sesquiterpenoid dimers inulabritanoids A-G (1-7) and two novel sesquiterpenoid monomers inulabritanoids H (8) and I (9) were isolated from I. britannica together with eighteen known compounds (10-27). The structural elucidation was accomplished through comprehensive analysis of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS), and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, complemented by quantum chemical calculations. Compounds 1, 2, 12, 16, 19, and 26 demonstrated inhibitory effects on NO production, with IC₅₀ values of 3.65, 5.48, 3.29, 6.91, 3.12, and 5.67 μmol·L^-1, respectively. Mechanistic studies revealed that compound 1 inhibited IκB kinase β (IKKβ) phosphorylation, thereby blocking nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) nuclear translocation, and activated the kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signal pathway, leading to decreased expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-1β, and IL-1α and increased expression of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO-1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), thus exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects in vitro. These results indicate that dimeric sesquiterpenoids may serve as promising candidates for anti-inflammatory drug development.

Objective:To investigate the effects of universal and individualized dual-track nursing on the recovery process,bladder function,self-care ability and complications of patients with endometrial cancer(EC)after laparoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 164 EC patients admitted to our hospital from Aug 2019 to Jan 2022 were collected and randomly divided into conventional nursing group and dual-track nursing group,82 patients in each group.All patients in 2 groups received laparoscopic surgery,the conventional nursing group received routine nursing intervention,and the dual-track nursing group received universal and individual dual-track nursing intervention on the basis of conventional nursing.The recovery process(time of first ambulation,first exhaust and hospitalization),self-care ability,postoperative bladder function,incidence of complications,quality of life,and recurrence rate of 1-year follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results:The first ambulation time,first exhaust time and hospitalization time in dual-track nursing group were shorter than those in conventional nursing group(P＜0.05).At 3 days after operation,the recovery rate of bladder function in the dual-track nursing group was significantly higher in dual-track nursing group than that in conventional nursing group(P＜0.05).After 3 months of nursing,the scores of health knowledge,self-care responsibility,nursing skills and self-concept in dual-track nursing group were higher than those in conventional nursing group,while the scores of PWB,SWB,EWB and FWB were lower than those in conventional nursing group(P＜0.05).During the nursing period,the incidence of complications in the dual-track nursing group was lower than that in the conventional nursing group(P＜0.05).After 1 year of follow-up,the recurrence rate of dual-track nursing group was slightly lower than that of conventional nursing group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The application of universal and individualized dual-track nursing in EC patients after laparoscopic surgery can improve patients'self-care ability and quality of life,enhance bladder function,reduce complications and recurrence,and promote patients'rapid recovery after surgery.

BACKGROUND:Exercise has been widely recognized in the prevention and treatment of diabetes.Aerobic exercise has become an important part of the treatment of type 1 diabetes.However,the effect of treadmill exercise on the metabolism and chronic neuroinflammation of type 1 diabetes in different sexes needs further discussion. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of treadmill exercise on metabolism and chronic neuroinflammation in type 1 diabetes mice of different sexes. METHODS:Forty C57BL/6 mice were divided into male group and female group,with 20 mice in each group.Then,a diabetes model was established by continuous injection of streptozotocin at 80 mg/kg for 3 days.Ten rats from each group were randomly selected to perform 6-week treadmill exercise as the diabetes+exercise group and another 10 rats from each group were selected as the diabetes group.Serum sex hormones,liver tissue oxidative stress,brain tissue inflammatory factors,and liver pathology were detected,and Morris water maze was performed for the observation of behavioral changes in mice. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the diabetes group,the diabetes+exercise group delayed the rise of blood sugar in type 1 diabetes mice(P＜0.05)and showed a significant reduction in serum follicle-stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone,liver superoxide dismutase,malondialdehyde,brain tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β levels(P＜0.01),while serum estradiol,progesterone,estrogen,and liver glutathione peroxidase protein levels were significantly increased(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Compared with male type 1 diabetes mice,female type 1 diabetes mice had significantly higher estradiol levels and lower luteinizing hormone levels(P＜0.05).Compared with the male diabetes+exercise group,the female diabetes+exercise group had lower liver glutathione peroxidase levels(P＜0.05).Compared with type 1 diabetes mice,the escape latency of exercise training mice was shorter(P＜0.01).In male mice,exercises significantly increased the time and platform crossing times of type 1 diabetes mice in the target quadrant(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05),while in female mice,exercises significantly increased the time of type 1 diabetes mice in the target quadrant(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis results showed that the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone,progesterone,superoxide dismutase,malondialdehyde,tumor necrosis factor α,and interleukin-6 were positively correlated with the level of interleukin-1β(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),whereas the levels of estradiol and progesterone were negatively correlated with the levels of superoxide dismutase,malondialdehyde,tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin-6 and interleukin-1β(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Overall,there are sex differences in the effects of treadmill exercise on metabolic indicators and chronic neuroinflammatory regulation in diabetes mice.Sex hormones are an important variable of treadmill exercise in the metabolic,inflammatory and cognitive responses in diabetes mice.
