Objective To analyze the characteristics of viral hepatitis mortality and life loss among residents in Pudong New Area from 2003 to 2023, and to provide a basis for related prevention and control work. Methods Viral hepatitis mortality data were obtained from the Pudong New Area mortality monitoring system. The crude mortality rate (CMR), standardized mortality rate (SMR), potential years of life lost (PYLL), average years of life lost (AYLL), and standardized potential years of life lost (SPYLL) were calculated to analyze viral hepatitis deaths. The average annual change (AAPC) and annual percentage change (APC) of the mortality rate were calculated by Joinpoint regression analysis to analyze the trend of mortality. Results The CMR and SMR of viral hepatitis among residents in Pudong New Area from 2003 to 2023 were 3.89/100000 and 1.98/100000, respectively. Both CMR and SMR of viral hepatitis showed a decreasing trend over time (CMR:APC=-5.476, t=-13.581, P<0.001; SMR:APC=- 7.624, t= -21.253, P<0.001). The CMR for males was 4.75/100000 and the SMR for males was 2.65/100000; the CMR for females was 3.04/100000 and the SMR for females was 1.32/100000, with a higher mortality rate for males than for females（Z_CME=12.094，P<0.001; Z_SMR=-14.718，P<0.001). Deaths were concentrated in the age groups of 45-64 years old and 65 years old and above, accounting for 91.62% of the total deaths. The PYLL of deaths due to viral hepatitis among residents in Pudong New Area from 2003 to 2023 was 26912 person-years, with a PYLLR of 0.45% and an AYLL of 8.88 years per person. Conclusion The mortality rate of viral hepatitis among the residents of Pudong New Area in 2003-2023 shows a decreasing trend over time. The mortality rate of males is higher than that of females, and the deaths of middle-aged and elderly people account for a large proportion of the total deaths. Chronic hepatitis B is the main cause of death.

Objective To analyze the changes in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in patients with essential hypertension，and to explore the effect of blood pressure on OCTA parameters. Methods A total of 164 patients with essential hypertension were selected and divided into controlled blood pressure group (n=92) and uncontrolled blood pressure group (n=72). OCTA examination was performed on the optic disc and macula of all patients, and the right eyes were selected for analysis. Results There were no significant differences in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) total vascular density, RPC total small vessel density, perifovea superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vascular density, and perifovea deep capillary plexus (DCP) vascular density between the two groups of patients. There were no significant differences in foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, FAZ diameter, and fovea retinal thickness between the two groups of patients. The density of the parafovea SCP, parafovea DCP, and fractal dimension (FD) in the uncontrolled blood pressure group were significantly lower than those in the controlled blood pressure group (P＜0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that elevation of blood pressure was a independently related factor of reduced parafovea DCP density (P＝0.026), while there was no correlation between the uncontrolled blood pressure and parafovea SCP density and FD level. Conclusions The blood pressure level is correlated with the parafovea DCP density, while has no correlation with other OCTA parameters in hypertension patients.

The aim is to evaluate the effect of therapeutic communication on cervical cancer patients’ preoperative anxiety and hope level. The convenience sampling method was used to select the inpatients who will receive radical surgery for cervical cancer in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from November 2016 to November 2019 as the research object. 50 patients were grouped by the random number table method: 25 patients were in the intervention group, and 25 patients were in the control group. Patients in the intervention group were given therapeutic communication on the basis of routine nursing, and patients in the control group were given routine nursing. Both groups were investigated with the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Herth Hope Index (HHI) on the first day of admission and the day before surgery. Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) . After the intervention, the anxiety level of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the hope level was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). It can be seen that therapeutic communication can alleviate preoperative anxiety of cervical cancer patients, improve their hope level, promote patient recovery, and ease tense medical relationship.

【Objective】 To analyze the situation of regular whole blood donation in Tianjin between 2013 and 2022, in order to provide data support for improving the recruitment and retention measures of regular blood donors and ensuring safe clinical blood supply. 【Methods】 From 2013 to 2022, 185 639 regular whole blood donors in Tianjin were selected as the study group and 1 015 312 other whole blood donors in the same period were selected as the control group. The demographic data, blood collection volume and blood retest screening of blood donors in the two groups were statistically analyzed. 【Results】 The number of regular blood donors and the volume of blood donated in Tianjin increased year by year from 2013 to 2022, with an average annual growth rate of 6.22% and 6.18%, respectively. From 2013 to 2021, the retention rate of regular blood donors increased first and then decreased. The proportion of male blood donors in the study and control groups showed a decreasing trend but the proportion of female donors showed an increasing trend, with the proportion of male donors in the study group higher than that in the control group and the proportion of female donors lower than that in the control group (both P<0.05). In the study group, the majority of blood donors were in the age of 26-35 years old, followed by those of 36-45 years old; in the control group, the majority of blood donors were in the age of 18-25 years old, followed by those of 26-35 years old; the proportion of blood donors in the study group in the age of 18-25 years old was lower than that in the control group, while the proportion of blood donors of other age group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The rates of 200 mL and 300 mL blood donations and insufficient blood donations in the study group were lower than those in the control group, while the rate of 400 mL blood donations was higher than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. Among the blood donors in the study group, the proportion of students, civil servants, medical workers, military personnel, teachers and others was lower than that of the control group, while the proportion of the rest occupations was higher in the study group than that of the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant. There was a significant difference in the proportion of regular blood donors among blood donors of different professions. The re-test deferral rates of ALT and anti-TP in the study group showed a decreasing trend followed by an increasing trend, and the re-test deferral rates of HBV, HCV and HIV showed an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, and all the re-test deferral rates in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . 【Conclusion】 From 2013 to 2022, the situation of regular blood donors in Tianjin has a certain regularity, and there is certain room for growth. Precise recruitment strategies targeting different populations should be adopted to have more regular blood donors.

This study aims to investigate the function of lmo2363 gene in stress resistance of Liste-ria monocytogenes strain LM83-1.In this study,the lmo2363 gene deletion strain and complement-ation strain of Listeria monocytogenes were constructed using overlapping extended PCR and ho-mologous recombination techniques,and the growth ability,stress survival rate and biofilm forma-tion ability of wild,deletion strain and complementation strain were compared under different stress environments.lmo2363 gene deletion strain and complementation strain of Listeria monocy-togenes were successfully constructed in this experiment.The growth curves showed that the growth capacity of the deletion strain was weaker than the wild strain LM83-1 under 4 ℃,7％NaCl,10％NaCl,3.5％ethanol,4.0％ethanol and pH5 stress(P＜0.001).The results of stress survival test showed that the survival rate of the deletion strain was significantly lower than the wild strain after 1 h treatment with pH3 and 10 mmol/L H2 O2 stress(P＜0.010).The biofilm forming ability of the deletion strain was decreased compared with that of the wild strain(P＜0.050).This study confirmed that lmo2363 gene mediated the adaptation of LM to low temperature,high osmotic pressure,ethanol and acid stress environment and affected the formation of LM bio-film.This study laid a foundation for further exploring the function of lmo2363 gene in the stress resistance process of Listeria monocytogenes.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a spectrum of chronic liver disease characterized by hepatic lipid metabolism disorder. Recent reports emphasized the contribution of triglyceride and diglyceride accumulation to NASH, while the other lipids associated with the NASH pathogenesis remained unexplored. The specific purpose of our study was to explore a novel pathogenesis and treatment strategy of NASH via profiling the metabolic characteristics of lipids. Herein, multi-omics techniques based on LC-Q-TOF/MS, LC-MS/MS and MS imaging were developed and used to screen the action targets related to NASH progress and treatment. A methionine and choline deficient (MCD) diet-induced mouse model of NASH was then constructed, and Schisandra lignans extract (SLE) was applied to alleviate hepatic damage by regulating the lipid metabolism-related enzymes CES2A and CYP4A14. Hepatic lipidomics indicated that MCD-diet led to aberrant accumulation of phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), and SLE could significantly reduce the accumulation of intrahepatic PEs. Notably, exogenous PE (18:0/18:1) was proved to significantly aggravate the mitochondrial damage and hepatocyte apoptosis. Supplementing PE (18:0/18:1) also deteriorated the NASH progress by up regulating intrahepatic proinflammatory and fibrotic factors, while PE synthase inhibitor exerted a prominent hepatoprotective role. The current work provides new insights into the relationship between PE metabolism and the pathogenesis of NASH.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults and is poorly controlled. Previous studies have shown that both macrophages and angiogenesis play significant roles in GBM progression, and co-targeting of CSF1R and VEGFR is likely to be an effective strategy for GBM treatment. Therefore, this study developed a novel and selective inhibitor of CSF1R and VEGFR, SYHA1813, possessing potent antitumor activity against GBM. SYHA1813 inhibited VEGFR and CSF1R kinase activities with high potency and selectivity and thus blocked the cell viability of HUVECs and macrophages and exhibited anti-angiogenetic effects both in vitro and in vivo. SYHA1813 also displayed potent in vivo antitumor activity against GBM in immune-competent and immune-deficient mouse models, including temozolomide (TMZ) insensitive tumors. Notably, SYHA1813 could penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prolong the survival time of mice bearing intracranial GBM xenografts. Moreover, SYHA1813 treatment resulted in a synergistic antitumor efficacy in combination with the PD-1 antibody. As a clinical proof of concept, SYHA1813 achieved confirmed responses in patients with recurrent GBM in an ongoing first-in-human phase I trial. The data of this study support the rationale for an ongoing phase I clinical study (ChiCTR2100045380).

Cannabis is a traditional industrial crop that has been used for thousands of years for medicines， foods， and textiles. Due to its active components， cannabis has attracted extensive attention in the pharmaceutical industry at home and abroad. Currently， 55 countries around the world have legalized medical marijuana， and two provinces in China， Yunnan and Heilongjiang， can legally cultivate and process industrial hemp. However， the low content of cannabidiol （CBD） in industrial hemp is not conducive to subsequent development and research. Based on this， the author took medicinal cannabis， defined by CHEN Shilin′s team as tetrahydrocannabinol （THC） content<0.3% and high CBD content， as the research object， and reviewed four aspects of the active ingredients of medicinal cannabis， the isolation and purification technology of CBD， the development and application of cannabinoid-related products and the breeding methods of medicinal cannabis. Through combing， it is suggested that subsequent research should focus on excavation of genes of CBD synthesis， molecular breeding of evolutionary cannabis by gene editing technology， development of green extraction process， discovery of more active ingredients， and high yield of CBD through synthetic biology and cell-free system， with a view to provide reference for the development and application of medicinal cannabis in China.

Objective:To explore the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification and serum cell division cycle 42 (CDC-42) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the influencing factors of them.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Blood Purification Center of Qingdao Municipal Hospital,112 patients who underwent MHD for more than 6 months from October 2019 to March 2021 were selected. The abdominal aortic calcification score (ACCs) was calculated by reference to the abdominal lateral X flat tablets. According to AACS, 50 cases were divided into no and mild calcification group (0≤AACS<5 points) and 62 cases were divided into moderate and severe calcification group (AACS≥5 points). The level of serum CDC-42 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Taking the median serum CDC-42 level as the boundary, 56 cases were divided into low CDC-42 group and high CDC-42 group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between indicators. The risk factors of elevated CDC-42 and abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the variables were included by entry method.Results:In 112 patients, 91 cases (81.25%, 91/112) had abdominal aortic calcification, and the median serum CDC-42 level was 466.56 (335.56,623.57) ng/L. CDC-42, AACs, age, dialysis age, diabetic nephropathy, glycosylated hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone and calcium in the no and mild calcification groups were 347.77 (291.20, 419.53) ng/L, 1.00 (0.00, 3.00) points, (57.18±6.25) years, 31.50 (15.00, 49.25) months, 34.00%(17/50), (6.63±0.97)%, 116.22 (87.32, 152.13) U/L, 258.57 (143.40, 433.31) ng/L, (2.18±0.26) mmol/L, and in the moderate to severe calcification group were 602.69 (489.61, 762.73) ng/L, 10.00 (7.00, 16.25) points, (60.81±7.12) years, 49.00 (18.00, 67.00) months, 53.23%(33/62), (7.07±1.20)%, 144.34 (99.71, 201.76) U/L, 336.57 (230.63, 506.00) ng/L,(2.28±0.26) mmol/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups(The statistical values were 6.99, 9.11, 2.83, 2.45, 4.14, 2.08, 2.04, 2.16 and 1.99, respectively, all P<0.05). CDC-42, AACs, glycosylated hemoglobin and parathormone in the low CDC-42 group were 336.50 (295.10, 395.25) ng/L, 2.00 (0.00, 4.00) points, (6.62±1.06) %, 250.60 (140.20, 462.02) ng/L,and in the high CDC-42 group were 622.92 (558.11, 836.65) ng/L, 10.00 (6.25, 15.75) points, (7.13±1.13) %, 347.21 (240.40,501.20) ng/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (The statistical values are 6.51, 5.21, 2.43 and 2.54, respectively,all P<0.05). Abdominal aortic calcification has positive correlations with CDC-42 ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.308, P=0.001), dialysis years ( r s=0.198, P=0.036), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.358, P<0.001), alkaline phosphatase ( r s=0.187, P=0.048), parathormone ( r s=0.437, P<0.001), serum calciu m( r s=0.323, P=0.001) and serum phospho-rus ( r s=0.251, P=0.007), and negative correlation with serum albumin( r s=-0.276, P=0.003). This study has confirmed that high serum CDC-42 ( OR=1.010, 95%CI:1.004-1.016, P=0.001) and senior dialysis age ( OR=1.033, 95%CI:1.006-1.061, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for moderate to severe abdominal aortic calcification.Serum CDC-42 levels has positive correlation with AACs ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.240, P=0.011), dialysis age ( r s=0.191, P=0.044), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.350, P<0.001), parathormone ( r s=0.380, P<0.001) and serum calcium ( r s=0.235, P=0.013). This study learned that,high AACs ( OR=1.185, 95%CI:1.037-1.354, P=0.013) and high parathormone ( OR=1.005, 95%CI:1.001-1.009, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for high CDC-42. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) of serum CDC-42 in predicting moderate and severe abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was 0.885. When the cut-off point was 466.56 ng/L, the predictive sensitivity and specificity were 79% and 86% respectively. Conclusion:The degree of abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was positively correlated with the level of serum CDC-42. High serum CDC-42 and high dialysis age were independent risk factors for abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients. High AACS and high parathyroid hormone were independent risk factors for the increase of serum CDC-42 in MHD patients .
