OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of peiminine B （PEI） on Streptococcus pneumoniae （SP）-induced alveolar epithelial cell injury by regulating the Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 in nucleus accumbens （Rac1）/protein kinase B （Akt）/nuclear factor κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. METHODS Human alveolar epithelial cells （HPAEpiC） were taken and randomly divided into the Control group， SP group （1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution）， low-， medium-， and high-concentration PEI groups （1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution+0.05， 0.10， 0.20 mmol/L PEI）， and high-concentration PEI+Akt activator group （P-H+SC79 group， 1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution+0.20 mmol/L PEI+10 μmol/L SC79）. Except for the Control group， the other groups of cells were treated with SP bacterial solution and/or corresponding drug solution. After 24 h of treatment， the levels of inflammatory factors （interleukin-6， -18， -1β） in the supernatant solution， the contents of oxidative stress indexes [lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， reactive oxygen species （ROS） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）]， apoptosis rate， as well as the expressions of proliferation/apoptosis-related proteins [cyclin-dependent kinase 1 （CDK1）， B cell lymphoma-2 related X protein （Bax）] and pathway-related proteins （Rac1， Akt， phosphorylated Akt， NF-κB and phosphorylated NF-κB） were detected in each group. RESULTS Compared with the Control group， the levels of inflammatory factors in supernatant solution， LDH and ROS contents， apoptosis rate， the protein expressions of Bax and Rac1 and the phosphorylation levels of Akt and NF-κB in the SP group were significantly increased or up-regulated， while SOD content and the protein expression of CDK1 were significantly decreased or down-regulated （P＜0.05）. Compared with the SP group， the above indexes in PEI groups were significantly improved in a concentration-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. SC79 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of the high concentration of PEI （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PEI can alleviate SP-induced inflammation and oxidative stress damage of alveolar epithelial cells and inhibit apoptosis， which may be achieved by inhibiting Rac1/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of Doppler ultrasound parameters com-bined with serum mitofusin-2 and caveolin-1(Cav-1)levels in pregnant women with preeclampsia for fetal growth restriction.Methods A total of 167 pregnant women with preeclampsia were selected as the study subjects and divided into fetal growth restriction group(n=63)and non-fetal growth re-striction group(n=104).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure the serum levels of mitofusin-2 and Cav-1 in both groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was em-ployed to screen for influencing factors of fetal growth restriction.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was utilized to evaluate the predictive value of Doppler ultrasound parameters combined with serum mitofusin-2 and Cav-1 levels for fetal growth restriction.Results The gestational age at delivery in the fetal growth restriction group was significantly shorter than that in the non-fetal growth restriction group(P＜0.05).The serum levels of mitofusin-2 and Cav-1 in the fetal growth restriction group were significantly lower than those in the non-fetal growth restriction group(P＜0.05).The Doppler ultrasound parameters[umbilical artery peak systolic velocity/umbilical artery end-diastolic velocity(S/D),resistance index(RI)and pulsatility index(PI)]in the fetal growth restriction group were significantly higher than those in the non-fetal growth restriction group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that gestational age at delivery,as well as the levels of mitofusin-2 and Cav-1 were influencing factors for fetal growth restriction(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for the combined prediction of fetal growth restriction using S/D,RI,PI,mitofusin-2 and Cav-1 was superior to that of each individual indicator.Conclusion The AUC for predicting fetal growth restriction using Doppler ultrasound parameters combined with serum mitofusin-2 and Cav-1 levels in pregnant women with preeclampsia is 0.960,providing a clinically operable tool for early risk stratification of fetal growth restriction.

Objective:To understand the current status of personal protection in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis in China and provide evidence for the evaluation of implementation of National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020).Methods:Four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis from December 2019 to July 2020 by using cross-sectional survey methods.Results:A total of 2 384 persons at high risk for brucellosis were surveyed, and the standardized utilization rate of personal protective equipment (PPE) was 20.13% (480/2 384). The utilization rate of glove, mask, rubber shoe, and work cloth were 38.26% (912/2 384), 31.80% (758/2 384), 32.01% (763/2 384) and 30.87% (736/2 384),respectively. There were significant differences in the utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of the four types of PPE among populations in different age, occupation, educational level and area groups (all P<0.001). The utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of PPE were lower in people over 60 years old, women, farmers, and those with lower educational level. The results of multivariate analysis showed that occupation and area were the influencing factors for the standardized utilization of PPE, the standardized utilization rates of PPE were higher in herdsmen and veterinarians. The standardized utilization rate of PPE in Yanggao County and Huocheng County was significantly higher than that in Zuoyun County and Hunyuan County. Conclusions:The utilization rate of the four types of PPE in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis was not high in China, and the standardized utilization rate was low, lower than the requirement in National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan, and there were significant differences among different areas. It is urgent to distribute PPE to occupational population at high risk for brucellosis and carry out health education about PPE utilization. Meanwhile, it is necessary to strengthen information exchange or sharing among different areas.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control among occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis, and to provide a scientific basis for assessing the effectiveness of brucellosis prevention and control in China.Methods:A total of four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected as survey counties from 2019 to 2020, and 600 people from the occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis in each survey county were selected as survey respondents, and basic information and knowledge of prevention and treatment were collected through questionnaires. Single-factor and multi-factor logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting the population's knowledge of prevention and treatment.Results:A total of 2 411 people participated in the survey and 2 384 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 1 405 males and 979 females, with the youngest age being 18 years old, the oldest being 91 years old, and the median being 57 years old. The overall knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control was 17.74% (423/2 384). The knowledge rate was lower among people over 60 years old, farmers, and people with less than elementary school education (13.99%, 14.50%, and 13.78%), and higher among women, herders, and people with elementary school education (20.02%, 36.33%, and 19.58%); the knowledge rate was lower in Hunyuan County (0.51%), and the differences in overall knowledge rates by age, occupation, education level, and region were statistically significant (χ 2 = 18.25, 87.18, 11.05, 197.43, P < 0.001). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that gender, occupation, literacy and region were associated with knowledge of prevention and treatment ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The overall knowledge of prevention and treatment among high-risk occupational groups in the key areas of China's brucellosis prevention and treatment program is low, with a large gap with the goals of the national brucellosis prevention and treatment program, and gender, occupation, literacy level, and region are the influencing factors of the knowledge of prevention and treatment. There is an urgent need to carry out a variety of health education activities for high-risk occupational groups and to strengthen the exchange of experience on brucellosis prevention and treatment between regions.

Objective To explore the application effect of"personalized"video propaganda and educa-tion combined with AI technology in hyperbaric oxygen therapy of the patients.Methods A total of 208 new-ly admitted patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in this hospital from June to September 2023 were select-ed as the control group,and 215 newly admitted patients from October 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the experimental group.The control group adopted the oral propaganda and education combined with paper propaganda and education to explain the principle and function of hyperbaric oxygen,informed that electronic products and flammable and explosive materials should not be brought into the cabin,and reminded the items needing to be prepared during treatment and the precautions in the treatment process.On the basis of the con-trol group,the experimental group combined with AI to make the"personalized"propaganda and education video and the patient's signature confirmation method,and the plan-do-check-action(PDCA)cycle mode was used to continuously improve the quality of hyperbaric oxygen health propaganda and education.The correct answer situation of relevant knowledge,carrying prohibited items into the cabin,the implementation of pre-cautions,satisfaction and anxiety self-rating scale(SAS)scores were compared between the two groups Re-sults The experimental group had better answers to hyperbaric oxygen related knowledge than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Before entering the cabin,the proportion of carrying the prohibited items in the control group was 6.3％(13/208),which was higher than 0.9％(2/215)in the experimental group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).During the whole process of hyperbaric oxygen therapy,the complete implementation rate of precautions in the experimental group was better than that in the control group(68.8％vs.44.2％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The satisfaction rate of the experimental group was 93.4％,which was higher than 46.6％of the con-trol group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The mild and moderate anxiety scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).The severe anxiety score had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The application of"personalized"video propaganda and education combined with AI technology has a good effect in the treatment of hyperbaric oxygen patients,which could reduce the patients'anxiety,in-crease the patients'confidence,and improve the patients'knowledge awareness rate,treatment compliance and satisfaction on nursing work.

Objective To understand the relationship between air pollutants and digestive system cancers, and to provide a reference for future research and prevention and control of digestive system cancer. Methods All relevant literature published in English between 1970-2022 was searched through the databases of PubMed, web of science and Embase, and meta-analysis was used to explore the effects of specific air pollutants on digestive system cancers. Results PM_2.5 was able to increase the risk of incidence or mortality of total digestive cancers by 11% (1.05 to 1.17). For specific cancers, PM_2.5 was only associated with an increased risk of liver cancer in this study, with a combined RR (95% CI) of 1.31 (1.19 to 1.46), while there was no statistically significant association with other specific digestive cancers ( P>0.05）. NO2 increased the risk of incidence or mortality of total digestive cancers by 3% (1.00 to 1.07). Conclusion For specific digestive system cancers, PM_2.5 has the most pronounced effect on liver cancer. More evidence is needed to support the relationship between NO₂ and cancer. Currently, it has been observed that NO2 has a negative effect on overall digestive cancers. This study provides insights for the prevention and control of digestive system cancer in countries and regions with high PM_2.5 and NO₂ concentrations.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of CT-guided puncture biopsy combined with serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and abnormal prothrombin (PIVKA-Ⅱ) in serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) negative primary liver cancer (PHC).Methods:Eighty patients with AFP negative PHC treatment in Fuyang Women and Children′s Hospital from January 2018 to March 2021 were selected as AFP negative PHC group, and another 85 patients diagnosed with benign liver tumor during the same period were selected as the control group retrospectively. The patients of the two groups underwent CT-guided biopsy and the levels of GGT and PIVKA-Ⅱ were detected. The single diagnostic value and combined diagnostic value of AFP negative PHC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Seventy-five of the 80 patients in the AFP negative PHC group were confirmed as liver malignant lesions by biopsy, with a coincidence of 93.75%, and 84 of the 85 patients in the control group were confirmed as liver benign lesions by biopsy, with a coincidence of 98.82%. The levels of AFP, GGT and PIVKA-Ⅱ in AFP negative PHC group were significantly higher than those in the control group: (175.67 ± 39.58) μg/L vs. (18.74 ± 7.42) μg/L, (1 245.37 ± 255.41) U/L vs. (486.63 ± 89.05) U/L, (385.49 ± 30.27) AU/L vs. (25.84 ± 7.66) AU/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum AFP was positively correlated with GGT and PIVKA-Ⅱ ( r = 0.858 and 0.429, P<0.05). The results of ROC curve showed that the area under curve of CT-guided biopsy combined with GGT and PIVKA-Ⅱ in the diagnosis of AFP negative PHC was 0.877, the sensitivity was 91.19%, the specificity was 87.34%. Conclusions:CT-guided biopsy combined with GGT and PIVKA-Ⅱ detection of AFP negative PHC can effectively improve the diagnostic value.

BackgroundThe major depressive disorder has high prevalence among adolescents， and non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors frequently occur among patients， therefore， major depressive disorder in adolescents has become the researching focus.

Objective:To understand the changes of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge awareness among breeders in Chunhua County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province before and after the publicity intervention.Methods:A multi-stage cluster sampling method was adopted to select 10 townships with more reported cases of human brucellosis in Chunhua County from January 2019 to June 2020, and each township was given priority to select the administrative village with the largest number of reported cases for investigation. At least 20 breeders aged 20 years old and over in each administrative village were selected, and if the number was insufficient, supplementary surveys would be conducted in other administrative villages with the larger number of breeders in the township. Questionnaire survey was conducted on all subjects, including general demographic characteristics, brucellosis prevention and control knowledge and related protective behaviors. After the baseline investigation, 6 months of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge publicity was carried out in the administrative villages included in the investigation, and the awareness rate of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge before and after the publicity intervention was compared to evaluate the effect of publicity intervention.Results:After the publicity intervention, a total of 240 breeders were investigated, and 176 people were aware of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge, with an overall awareness rate of 73.33% (176/240), which was significantly higher than that before the publicity intervention (57.50%, 115/200), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 12.21, P = 0.005). After the publicity intervention, the awareness rates of breeders on "can cattle and sheep transmit diseases to humans" and "do you know that cattle and sheep can only be purchased after passing the quarantine inspection" were relatively high, they were 95.83% (230/240) and 95.00% (228/240), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 50.04, 112.64, P < 0.001) compared with that before the publicity intervention [71.50% (143/200) and 51.00% (102/200)]. The awareness rate of breeders on "how brucellosis is transmitted from livestock to humans" was the lowest, it was 53.33% (128/240), which was not significantly different (χ 2 = 0.82, P = 0.370) from that before the publicity intervention (49.00%, 98/200). Conclusions:After the publicity intervention, the overall awareness rate of brucellosis prevention and control knowledge of breeders in Chunhua County has improved, but the awareness rate of some individual issues is still low. It is suggested to strengthen the pertinence of publicity and education.
