Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Brucella infection. So far, animal to animal Brucellosis has not been eradicated, and there is a lack of safe and effective human vaccine. Therefore, "early, combined, sufficient, and full course" drug treatment remains an important strategy in the management of human Brucellosis. The goal of treating brucellosis is to alleviate and shorten the symptom period, reduce complications, relapses, and chronicity. At present, although antibiotic treatment is effective for most patients, there are still some patients who experience treatment failure or later recurrence, so the treatment strategy for brucellosis urgently needs to be optimized. This article elaborates on the treatment principles, clinical treatment status, and future development trends of brucellosis, in order to provide references for optimizing drug treatment methods for brucellosis.

The comparison between traditional Chinese medicine Jinzhen oral liquid (JZOL) and Western medicine in treating children with acute bronchitis (AB) showed encouraging outcomes. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the JZOL for improving cough and expectoration in children with AB. 480 children were randomly assigned to take JZOL or ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution for 7 days. The primary outcome was time-to-cough resolution. The median time-to-cough resolution in both groups was 5.0 days and the antitussive onset median time was only 1 day. This randomized controlled trial showed that JZOL was not inferior to cough suppressant and phlegm resolving western medicine in treating cough and sputum and could comprehensively treat respiratory and systemic discomfort symptoms. Combined with clinical trials, the mechanism of JZOL against AB was uncovered by network target analysis, it was found that the pathways in TRP channels like IL-1β/IL1R/TRPV1/TRPA1, NGF/TrkA/TRPV1/TRPA1, and PGE2/EP/PKA/TRPV1/TRPA1 might play important roles. Animal experiments further confirmed that inflammation and the immune regulatory effect of JZOL in the treatment of AB were of vital importance and TRP channels were the key mechanism of action.

In recent years, the artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning technology have made leap progress. Using clinical decision support system for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment is the inevitable developing trend of wisdom medical. Clinicians tend to ignore the interpretability of models while pursuing its high accuracy, which leads to the lack of trust of users and hamper the application of clinical decision support system. From the perspective of explainable artificial intelligence, the authors make some preliminary exploration on the construction of clinical decision support system in the field of liver disease. While pursuing high accuracy of the model, the data governance techniques, intrinsic interpretability models, post-hoc visualization of complex models, design of human-computer interactions, providing knowledge map based on clinical guidelines and data sources are used to endow the system with interpretability.

ObjectiveTo determine the quality of life among HIV-infected individuals and risk factors in Jing’an District of Shanghai. MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study. Cluster sampling strategy was used to select HIV-infected individuals who were registered with the national HIV/AIDS case reporting system in eight community health service centers in Jing’an District of Shanghai. The short form 36 （SF-36） scale， self-rating anxiety scale （SAS）， social support scale （SSS） and specifically designed questionnaires were used to collect information. Logistic regression was used to determine the factors associated with quality of life. ResultsIn total， 365 HIV-infected individuals were included in the study. The total average score of quality of life was 79.5±10.4. The scores in general health， vitality and emotional well-being were lower than the norm， whereas the scores in other dimensions were higher than the norm. Multivariable logistic regression indicated that age of 45‒ years （vs age of 18‒ years： OR=0.23， 95%CI： 0.08‒0.68） was significantly associated with the quality of life. Furthermore， smoking （OR=2.18， 95%CI： 1.22‒3.90）， lower CD4⁺T cell counts （<350 cell·μL^-1， OR=2.89， 95%CI： 1.54‒5.40）， comorbidity （≥2 kinds， OR=3.40， 95%CI： 1.15‒10.04） and anxiety （OR=1.09， 95%CI： 1.05‒1.14） were risk factors associated with declining quality of life. ConclusionIt warrants more attention to those HIV-infected individuals with poor psychological status， smoking， low CD4⁺T cell counts and comorbidities. Targeted health care and social support could effectively improve the quality of life among HIV-infected individuals.
