OBJECTIVE To investigate the targeting effect of folic acid-modified crebanine nanoparticles (FA-Cre@PEG- PLGA NPs, hereinafter referred to as “NPs”) combined with ultrasound irradiation on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo after administration, and explore the anti-tumor mechanism. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the proliferation of M109 cells, and the best ultrasound time was selected. Using human lung cancer A549 cells as a control, the targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation to M109 cells was evaluated by free folic acid blocking assay and cell uptake assay. The effects of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the migration, invasion, apoptosis, cell cycle and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels of M109 cells were detected by cell scratch test, Transwell chamber test and flow cytometry at 1 h after 958401536@qq.com administration; the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model of M109 cells was constructed, and the in vivo tumor targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technology. RESULTS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could significantly inhibit the proliferation of M109 cells, and the optimal ultrasound time was 1 h after administration. The free folic acid could antagonize the inhibitory effect of NPs on the proliferation of M109 cells, and combined with ultrasound irradiation could partially reverse this antagonism. Compared with A549 cells, the uptake rate of NPs in M109 cells was significantly higher (P<0.01), and ultrasound irradiation could promote cellular uptake. NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could inhibit the migration and invasion of M109 cells and block the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Compared with control group, the apoptosis rate of M109 cells and ROS level were increased significantly (P<0.01), while the MMP decreased significantly (P<0.01) in the different concentration (100, 200, 300 μg/mL) groups of M109 cells. Compared with the mice in non-ultrasound group, the fluorescence intensity and tumor-targeting index of the tumor site in the 0 h ultrasound group were significantly enhanced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation have a strong targeting effect on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo, the anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibiting cell migration and invasion, blocking cell cycle, and inducing apoptosis.

Cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, aneurysm, thrombosis, and hypertension, are a great economic burden and threat to human health and are the major cause of death worldwide. Recently, researchers have begun to appreciate the role of microbial ecosystems within the human body in contributing to metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the gut microbiota is closely associated with the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. The gut microbiota functions as an endocrine organ that secretes bioactive metabolites that participate in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis, and their dysfunction can directly influence the progression of cardiovascular disease. This review summarizes the current literature demonstrating the role of the gut microbiota in the development of cardiovascular diseases. We also highlight the mechanism by which well-documented gut microbiota-derived metabolites, especially trimethylamine N-oxide, short-chain fatty acids, and phenylacetylglutamine, promote or inhibit the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of altering the gut microbiota and microbiota-derived metabolites to improve or prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:To investigate the long-term efficacy and the adverse reactions of uterine artery embolization with polyvinyl alcohol granules in the treatment of adenomyosis.Methods:Sixty patients with adenomyosis who received treatment in The Second People's Hospital of Qinzhou from January 2009 to February 2017 were retrospectively included in this study. They were divided into an observation group ( n = 31) and a control group ( n = 29) according to different treatment methods. The observation group was treated by embolization of the uterine artery with a polyvinyl alcohol granule. The control group was treated with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system. After treatment, all patients were followed up for 2-5 years. The long-term efficacy was evaluated, including the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, average menstrual fluid volume, sex hormone, and change in uterine size. Results:After 2 years of treatment, the response rate in the observation group was 93.5% (29/31), which was significantly higher than 72.4% (21/29) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.81, P = 0.028). After 5 years of treatment, the response rate in the observation group was 93.5% (29/31), which was significantly higher than 65.5% (19/29) in the control group ( χ2 = 7.35, P = 0.007). After treatment, the improvements in uterine size, menstrual fluid volume, and visual analogue scale score were greater in the observation group than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). After treatment, all patients were followed up for 5 years. There was no significant difference in the incidence of long-term adverse reactions between the observation and control groups [3.2% (1/31) vs. 6.9% (2/29), P > 0.05]. The recurrence rate in the observation group was 3.45% (1/29), which was significantly lower than 23.81% (5/21) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.78, P = 0.029). After 2 and 5 years of treatment, ovarian function was not affected in both groups of patients. Conclusion:Uterine artery embolization with polyvinyl alcohol granules for the treatment of adenomyosis has identified long-term curative effects, is safe, and has a low recurrence rate.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation and influencing factors of health service demands of new residents in Shanghai. MethodsFrom July to August 2020, a questionnaire survey was conducted in 1 358 new residents from 36 survey points in 7 districts of the city. The questionnaire included the basic medical insurance coverage in the inflow area, the current situation of medical demand and related influencing factors, and the demands for other health services. Results47.1%(562/1 194)of new residents did not choose to seek timely medical treatment when they were not feeling well. The main reason was that the working hours occupied the medical treatment time. Logistic regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the medical needs in new residents were the average daily working hours, living area and type of residence, health status, physical examination and physical exercise, and the type of basic medical insurance. The demands of new residents for "health consultation of common diseases and frequently occurring diseases", "health behavior intervention (such as smoking cessation and alcohol restriction)", "medical guidance and publicity", "accidental injury prevention (traffic, work, falling, etc.)" and "maintenance of legitimate rights and interests of health" were 57.1%(682/1 194)、41.3%(493/1 194)、34.9%(417/1 194)、32.2%(385/1 194) and 31.9%(381/1 194), respectively. ConclusionNew residents demands for medical services cannot be met. We should actively improve the working and living conditions of new residents, improve the construction of new residents' health service system, and improve the utilization level of health services.

Objective To investigate the fertility history and demand for reproductive health services of new residents in Shanghai. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 358 new residents in 36 survey sites in 7 districts of Shanghai from July to September 2020. The content includes fertility history, induced abortion history, demand for reproductive health-related services, awareness rate of the Shanghai Family Planning Association and service access rate, etc. Results Among the new residents themselves and their spouses/sexual partners, 31.3% (374/1 194) had been pregnant once and 33.6% (401/1 194) had been pregnant twice; 46.3% (533/1 194)had one child and 29.7% (355/1 194)had two children. The difference of number of births among new residents with different residence time, those who did or did not possess permanent residency or residence permits, and those from different sources (urban or rural) was statistically significant ( χ 2=158.664, 50.263, 16.011, 114.419, all P <0.001). Among the new residents themselves and their spouses / sexual partners, the proportion of induced abortion of more than once was 36.1%. The difference of the number of abortions of new residents with or without permanent residency was statistically significant ( χ 2=19.389, P <0.001). The awareness rate of new residents of the harm of induced abortion to health was 92.1% (1 100/1 194); There were significant differences in the scientific knowledge of harm of induced abortion to health among new residents with different local residence time and those with or without a residence permit ( χ 2=36.590, 20.926, both P <0.001). The awareness rate of the Family Planning Association was 82.6% (986/1 194), and the service access rate was 51.3% (613/1 194). Permanent residency and residence permits are the main factors that affect the service accessibility of the Shanghai Family Planning Association. 44.8% (535/1 194) of new residents hope to receive reproductive health services in their place of residence, and they are most concerned about knowledge on good prenatal and postnatal care. Conclusion We should further publicize the "three-child" fertility policy, advocate a friendly fertility culture, and provide new residents with people-centered and accurate reproductive health services adapted to their needs through multi-sectoral cooperation, so as to improve their reproductive health level.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers in China and analyze the factor influencing the KAP.Methods:A self-developed questionnaire was used for an online research on the KAP of 11 849 pediatric healthcare providers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China from March 11 to 14, 2022.The factors influencing the KAP of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers were examined by Logistic regression. Results:The scores of KAP, of pulse oximetry were 5.57±0.96, 11.24±1.25 and 11.19±4.54, respectively.The corresponding scoring rates were 69.61%, 74.95%, and 55.99%, respectively. Logistic regression results showed that the gender and working years of pediatric healthcare providers, the region they were located, and whether their medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters were the main factors affecting the knowledge score (all P<0.05). Main factors influencing the attitude score of pediatric healthcare providers included their knowledge score, gender, educational background, working years, region, medical institution level, and whether the medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). For the practice score, the main influencing factors were the knowledge score, gender, age, and whether the medi-cal institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese pediatric healthcare providers need to further improve their knowledge about and attitudes towards pulse oximetry.Pulse oximeters are evidently under-used.It is urgent to formulate policies or guidelines, strengthen education and training, improve knowledge and attitudes, equip more institutions with pulse oximeters, and popularize their application in medical institutions.

Objective To propose a quick and low-cost personalized diabetic foot modeling and insole design scheme, so as to reduce the plantar pressure accurately. Methods The foot model of the patient was constructed by scaling the model with foot feature parameters, to make biomechanical analysis on plantar pressure. By means of numerical mapping model of insole elasticity and plantar pressure, the three-dimensional (3D) personalized insole model with gradient modulus was constructed. The insole was then manufactured via 3D printing technology and used for experimental validation. Results The related mechanical parameters from finite element prediction of the foot model constructed by the scaling modeling method were close to those of the CT reconstructed model, and the maximum error was controlled within 15%. Compared with wearing the normal insole, the peak pressure of the personalized insole was effectively reduced by 20%. The time and economic cost of this simplified design was reduced by approximately 90%. Conclusions The design scheme of the diabetes insole shortens the design cycle, and the personalized insole can effectively and accurately reduce the sole pressure, and reduce the risk of foot ulcer, which provides a technical basis for the promotion of the personalized diabetes insole.
