Objective To investigate the pathogenesis characteristics and epidemic tendency of notifiable infectious diseases (NID) in Zhujing County of Shanghai from 2013 to 2017, and to provide scientific basis for effective prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological method was used to statistically analyze the epidemic data of NID in Zhujing County of Shanghai during 2013-2017 reported by the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Results A total of 3 259 cases of 17 different NID were reported in Zhujing County of shanghai during 2013-2017.The average annual incidence rate was 509.89/105, A total of 7 cases of death were reported and average annual rate of mortality was 1.10/105.No type A NID was reported and a total of 1 089 cases of 13 type B NID were reported, with the average annual incidence rate of type A and B NID being 170.38/105; a total of 2 170 cases of 4 type C NID were reported, with the average annual incidence rate of type C NID being 339.51/105. The top 5 diseases were HFMD, influenza, syphilis, gonorrhea and tuberculosis, accounting for 32.46%, 25.65%, 17.40%, 7.24% and 5.43% of the total.The onset was mainly to occur from May to August and from December to January, mostly in 0-6 years and 18-40 years groups.Most of the cases were students, scattered children, nursery children, farmers, workers.The incidence rate was higher in men than in women, and the incidence rate of household-registered residents in this city was higher than that of floating population.Intestinal infectious diseases were the main components. Conclusion As HFMD, influenza, syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis prove to be the key NID in Zhujing County of Shanghai, we should act according to the epidemic features of the infectious diseases to formulate perfect control strategy to prevent the outbreak and prevalence of infectious diseases.

Objective:To investigate whether irradiated U251 glioma cells can induce bystander effects in unexposed neural stem cells (NSCs) thus affecting its proliferation, stemness and differentiation.Methods:The cells were divided into NSCs group, NSCs+ U251 group (co-cultured with U251) and NSCs+ IR U251 group (co-cultured with 10 Gy irradiated U251). Glioma cells and NSCs were co-cultured in a transwell insert set. Cell counting and neurosphere diameter measuring were carried out to evaluate the proliferation and neurosphere formation ability of NSCs. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to detect the expression of Nestin protein to evaluate the stemness maintenance of NSCs, and to measure the expression levels of Tuj1 and GFAP proteins, the number of neuronal dendrites, synaptic length, the number of glial protrusions, as well as the length of glial protrusions.Results:The number of NSCs cultured with irradiated U251 cells was obviously smaller than that of NSCs cultured with sham-irradiated U251 cells ( t=2.52, P<0.05). The neurosphere formation ability of NSCs and the percentage of Nestin positive NSCs after co-culture with irradiated U251 cells significantly reduced in comparison with those after co-culture with sham-irradiated U251 cells ( t=-3.50, P<0.05). The percentages and the extent of NSCs differentiating into neuronal cells and glial cells( t=6.09, P<0.05)decreased obviously after co-culture with irradiated U251 cells in comparison with those after co-culture with sham-irradiated U251 cells. Conclusions:Irradiated glioma cells can significantly inhibit the proliferation, stemness and differentiation of unexposed NSCs due to bystander effect.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of allogeneic platelet-rich on the healing and regeneration of diabetic foot wounds. 【Methods】 A total of 86 patients with diabetic foot ulcer treated in our hospital from January 2019 to June 2020 were selected for this study. They were divided into 2 groups by the random number table method, with 43 patients in each group. The control group was given conventional treatment according to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diabetic Foot in China, and the observation group was further treated with platelet-rich gel (APG) from the allogeneic blood bank.The clinical efficacy, general conditions, wound conditions, inflammatory factors, serum levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The total effective rate of patients in the observation group was 93.02%, higher than 76.73% in the control group (P<0.05). The wound healing time (15.08±3.19 vs 17.38±4.02) d and hospitalization time (16.12±4.03 vs 18.27±5.11) d in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in hsCRP (4.25±0.39 vs 4.10±0.41) mg/L, TNF-α (5.70±1.29 vs 5.81±1.33) μ g/L and IL-6 (96.38±24.02 vs 99.64±25.17) mg/L between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, hsCRP (2.35±0.50 vs 2.83±0.44) mg/L, TNF-α(3.15±0.82 vs 4.02±1.07) μ g/L and IL-6 (50.82±18.54 vs 72.93±20.25) mg/L in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in TGF-β 1 (5.66±1.25 vs 5.81±1.31) ng/L, VEGF (11.03±3.62 vs 10.83±3.72) μ g/L and ha (71.19±20.84 vs 70.82±21.03) mg/L between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of TGF-β 1 (17.29±4.09 vs 14.03±3.72) ng/L, VEGF (43.03±14.17 vs 37.04±11.05) and ha (177.96±39.08 vs 151.94±36.17) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 On the basis of conventional treatment, allogeneic blood bank concentrated platelet APG can effectively improve the curative effect of diabetic foot wound and shorten the wound healing time and hospitalization time. The mechanism may be related to reducing the level of inflammatory factors and increasing TGF-β 1, VEGF and HA.
