Objective To evaluate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein transduction on acute lung injury in septic rats.Methods Eighteen healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7-9 weeks,weighing 210-260 g,were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group Sham),sepsis group (group Sep),and fusion protein PEP-1-HO-1 group (group HO).Sepsis was produced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).In group HO,PEP-1-HO-1 fusion protein 0.6 mg was injected via the left iliac vein at 1 h before CLP and 5 h after CLP.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead of PEP-1-HO-1 in Sham and Sep groups.At 12 h after CLP,blood samples were collected from the right common carotid artery for measurement of serum tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed,and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content (by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric method).Results Compared with group Sham,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly increased,the serum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were significantly increased (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly aggravated in Sep and HO groups.Compared with group Sep,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly decreased,the serum TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group HO.Conclusion HO-1 protein transduction can attenuate acute lung injury in septic rats,and the mechanism is probably related to inhibition of lipid peroxidation in lung tissues and systemic inflammatory responses.

of DE-MRI and the specificity and accuracy of LDDSE were significantly lower than that of DE-MRI (P < 0. 05). Conclusion DE-MRI with high specificity and accuracy, potentially, is a valuable imaging method for the detection of viable myocardium.

Objective: To investigate eating behavior and associated family factors of preschool children during the prevalence of Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19), and to provide scientific basis for healthy eating behavior for preschool children. Methods: A total of 1 829 preschool children were investigated by electronic questionnaire from 5 kindergartens in Shenzhen from March 18-20, 2020. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform logistic regression analysis on the factors for eating behavior. Results: The rate of unhealthy eating behavior during the prevalence of COVID-19 was 47.2%. The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors in boys and girls were 46.1% and 48.4%, respectively. And there was no significant difference between different genders(χ 2=1.02，P=0.31). The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children aged 3-, 4-, 5- and 6- were 56.6%, 56.8%, 42.3% and 29.9%, respectively, and the differences between different ages were significant(χ 2=72.17，P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that fathers high education level, mothers education level(OR=0.78，0.77，0.21), and parents satisfaction with children s eating were associated with low nutritional problems of child, while parental permission to play while eating, criticize while eating, force child to eat more and force child to eat foods they do not like, and parental concerns about children s appetite, were associated with more unhealthy eating behavior(OR=6.29，1.80，2.20，1.70，2.16)(P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children during the prevalence of COVID-19 is lower than usual, but the health education of preschool children s families still needs to be strengthened.

Objective:To analyze the epidemic status and characteristics of human brucellosis in Ordos City, and to provide basis for formulating perfect prevention and control countermeasures of brucellosis.Methods:The data of reported human brucellosis cases in Ordos City from 2016 to 2020 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the distributions of time, region and population.Results:Totally 2 861 cases of human brucellosis were reported in Ordos City from 2016 to 2020. The average annual incidence rate was 27.68/100 000 and no deaths. The incidence rate of human brucellosis decreased year by year from 2016 to 2018 (24.11/100 000, 20.82/100 000, 20.11/100 000). But the incidence rate began to pick up in 2019 (24.59/100 000) and rose to 48.53/100 000 in 2020. The incidence peak was from March to August (1 882 cases). The cases had been reported in all over 9 banners (districts) of the city. The cumulative number of reported cases from more to less was Hangjin Banner, Dalat Banner, Otog Front Banner, Jungar Banner, Otog Banner, Dongsheng District, Wushen County, Ejin Horo Banner and Kangbashi District. The cases were predominantly male, and the sex ratio of male to female was 2.23∶1.00 (1 974 ∶ 887). The onset was mainly young and middle-aged adults, and the age was mainly 30-69 years old (2 541 cases). Farmers accounted for 65.26% (1 867 cases) in all reported cases, followed by herdsmen, accounting for 18.98% (543 cases).Conclusions:There is an obvious upward trend of human brucellosis in Ordos City in recent years, mainly among young and middle-aged male farmers. Health education for key populations should be strengthened, as well as personal protection during high-risk operations.

Objective:To study the degree of recognition about the protection of traditional knowledge of Chi-nese medicine and its influencing factors among Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine students and provide scien-tific evidence for improving relevant policies.Methods: 1,162 college students were chosen by stratified cluster sampling from Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine and questionnaires were surveyed among them.Rank sum test and multiple linear regression model were used to explore the related factors on degree of recognition about the protection of traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine.Results: The overall cognition-scoring rate was 36.55％,and subscales in descending order by scoring rate were loss of traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine,international and domestic related protection systems.There were significant differences in scores between age groups,majors,grades,place of origin,family monthly income per capita,parents'educational background,moti-vation of applying for medical school,and whether they had taken the protection of traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine courses(P<0.05).Conclusion:The overall cognition-scoring rate among Shaanxi University of Chi-nese Medicine students was generally low.In order to motivate students to protect traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine and promote a healthy development of Chinese medicine,measures from national institution and school education should be conducted.

Objective: To explore the correlation between the severity of gastroesophageal reflux cough and degree of gastroesophageal reflux. Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was carried out. Data of 174 cases of chronic cough were collected in Children's Hospital of Fuzhou from March 2009 to December 2016. The esophageal 24 hours pH value dynamic monitoring was used to detect gastric acid reflux index. Cases with abnomal results were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups according to severity of reflux and that of day and night cough symptoms, respectively. They were also divided into infant (1-3 years old), preschool (4-6 years old), and school age (>7 years old) groups according to age. Comparative analysis between groups by chi-square test and rank sum test were performed. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between cough severity and gastroesophageal reflux index. Results: A total of 174 patients with chronic cough, including 115 males and 59 females, aged from 1 to 15 years with an average age of (8.5±2.3) years, and (1.6±0.8) years of disease duration were enrolled. Among them, 129 cases (74.1%) were positive for esophageal reflux test and 45 cases (25.9%) with no obvious pathological gastroesophageal reflux. Patients with positive esophageal reflux test were divided into severe (n=37, 28.7%), moderate (n=23, 17.8%), and mild (n=69, 53.5%). There was no significant difference in the distribution of gastroesophageal reflux in each age group. (The proportions of mild, moderate and severe reflux in infants were 45.0% (9/20), 25.0% (5/20), and 30.0% (6/20), respectively. The proportions of mild, moderate and severe reflux in preschool children were 53.3% (32/60), 16.7% (10/60), 30.0% (18/60), respectively. The proportions of mild, moderate and severe reflux in school age children were 57.1% (28/49), 16.3% (8/49), 26.5% (13/49), respectively χ²=1.204, P=0.877). There was no correlation between age group and gastroesophageal reflux (r=-0.065, P=0.489).The severity of nighttime cough was positively correlated with percentages of distal esophagus pH≤4 in time, recumbent pH≤4 in time, and DeMeester score<14.72 (r=0.689, 0.621, and 0.707 respectively, all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between the severity of nighttime cough symptoms and percentage of standing pH≤4 in time (r=0.113, P>0.05). There were no statistically significant correlation between the severity of daytime cough and all gastroesophageal reflux markers (all P>0.05). Conclusion The severity of nocturnal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux cough is related to the degree of gastroesophageal reflux, to which clinical pediatricians should pay attention.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the preoperative neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and postoperative delirium (POD)in elderly patients.Methods:Nine hundred and thirty-seven patients, undergoing elective knee or hip arthroplasty under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia, in whom Mini-Mental State Examination was completed at 1 day before operation, with Mini-Mental State Examination score≥24, were selected. Elbow venous blood samples were collected before surgery, neutrophils and lymphocytes were counted, and the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes was calculated.Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 2 ml was extracted after successful spinal-epidural puncture for measurement of preoperative amyloid beta40 (Aβ40), amyloid beta42 (Aβ42), total Tau (T-tau), and phosphorylated Tau (P-tau) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. POD was assessed by Confusion Assessment Method, and the severity of POD was assessed by the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale.The logistic regression equation was used to identify the risk factors for POD, and the mediating effect of CSF biomarkers was analyzed. Sensitivity analysis was used to test the stability of the results. The receiver operating characteristic curve was introduced, and the area under the curve was calculated to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative NLR in predicting POD.Results:A total of 853 patients were finally enrolled in this study, and 17.4% patients developed POD. Logistic regression analysis showed that the increased levels of NLR ( OR 1.141, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.033-1.260, P=0.010), P-tau in CSF ( OR 1.093, 95% CI 1.076-1.110, P<0.001) and T-tau in CSF( OR 1.003, 95% CI 1.001-1.005, P<0.001) were risk factors for POD, while the increased level of Aβ42 in CSF( OR 0.998, 95% CI 0.997-1.000, P=0.028) was a protective factor for POD after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. Analysis of mediating effect: T-tau and P-tau in CSF were the mediating factors in the relationship between NLR and POD with the mediating effects of 0.011 9 and 0.020 0 respectively, and the proportion of mediating effect was 46.1% and 53.1% respectively.The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of NLR and combination of NLR and CSF biomarkers in predicting POD was 0.711 and 0.939 respectively. Conclusions:Increased preoperative NLR level is a risk factor for POD, and combination of NLR and CSF biomarkers shows a higher accuracy in predicting POD. T-tau and P-tau in CSF serve as the key mediators in the relationship between NLR and POD.

Objective:To explore the association of peripheral blood neutrophil lymphocyte ratio(NLR) with primary osteoporosis (POP) in Chinese elderly women.Methods:From December 2015 to April 2019, a total of 788 elderly women in Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital were included in this study.They were divided into three groups according to bone mineral density: 242 cases of osteopenia, 206 cases of normal bone mineral density and 340 cases of osteoporosis.Their height, weight, statuses of bone of left femoral neck and results of blood tests were recorded, and the values of BMI, NLR and OSTA were calculated.The SPSS statistics software was used to analyze the differences of parameters among the three groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to get significant independent related factors for osteoporosis.The relationship of NLR and OSTA with T-score of left femoral neck was confirmed by Pearson correlation test.ROC curves were used to define the values of NLR and OSTA in diagnosis of osteoporosis.Results:There were statistically significant differences in age(median values: 66, 68 and 70, χ 2=71.596, P<0.001), BMI(median values: 23.46, 24.04 and 25.415, χ 2=64.936, P<0.001) and NLR(median values: 1.97, 2.435 and 2.84, χ 2=106.218, P<0.001) among the three groups(all P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age, BMI and NLR were all independent significant related factors.There was correlation of NLR, OSTA with T-score of left femoral neck.In diagnosis of osteoporosis, the cut-off value, maximum Youden index, sensitivity and specificity were 2.395, 0.299, 70.3%, 59.6% for NLR, and -1.315, 0.174, 73.6%, 43.5% for OSTA. Conclusion:NLR has intermediate sensitivity and specificity in screening POP in Chinese elderly women, and deserves future researches.
