Objective:To explore the mechanism of pterostilbene(PTE)in preventing and treating neuroinflamma-tion after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIRI)in rats.Methods:Ninety male SD rats were randomly divided in-to a sham group,a model group(MCAO/R),a low-dose PTE group(PTE-L),a medium-dose PTE group(PTE-M),and a high-dose PTE group(PTE-H).CIRI model was prepared by middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion(MCAO/R)in rats.The neurological deficit in rats was evaluated by Zea Longa score.The volume of cerebral infarc-tion was detected by TTC staining.The morphological changes of ischemic cortex was observed HE staining.The ex-pressions of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2),prostaglandin D2 receptor(DP2)and prostaglandin D1 receptor(DP1)were detected by RT-qPCR and Western Blot.The expressions of prostaglandin D2(PGD2),interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by ELISA.Results:Compared with the sham group,the MCAO/R group showed a significant increase in neurological scores(P<0.05),a significant increase in cerebral infarction vol-ume(P<0.05),and aggravated cortical damage in the ischemic area.Additionally,there were significant increase in the expressions of COX-2,DP2 mRNA and protein(P<0.05),along with increased expressions of PGD2,IL-1β and TNF-α(P<0.05).Compared with the MCAO/R group,the PTE-L,PTE-M,and PTE-H groups showed a significant decrease in neurological scores(P<0.05),a significant decrease in cerebral infarction volume(P<0.05),and markedly alleviated cortical damage in the ischemic region.Additionally,there were significant decrease in the expres-sions of COX-2,DP2 mRNA and protein(P<0.05),along with decreased expressions of PGD2,IL-1β and TNF-α(P<0.05).Furthermore,a dose-effect relationship was observed for the neuroprotective effects of PTE on brain tissue(P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences in the expressions of DP,mRNA and protein among all groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:PTE can attenuate the neuroinflammation of CIRI in rats by inhibiting COX-2/PGD2/DP2 signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of school varicella and varicella public health emergency event (PHEE) in Yunnan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of varicella in schools. Methods The descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the reported PHEE of varicella in students and varicella in schools in Yunnan Province from 2018 to 2020. Results From 2018 to 2020, a total of 69,391 cases of varicella were reported in students in Yunnan Province, accounting for 71.48% (69 391 / 97 080) of the total cases in the province, and the annual average reported incidence rate was 255.56/100 000 (69 391/27.1522 million). The time distribution of the incidence showed double peaks, which were from May to July (26.48%) and October to January of the following year (53.88%). The incidence rates of different schools from high to low were 301.74/100 000 for primary schools (34 816/11.538 3 million), 250.43/100 000 for kindergarten (11 526/4.6024 million), 202.74/100 000 for middle school (16 779/8.276 1 million), and 119.07/100 000 for others (3 257/2.735 4 million). The age distribution was mainly concentrated in 5-9 years old, accounting for 39.81% (27 625/69 391). Varicella PHEE accounted for 25.64% (180/702)of the province's PHEE in the same period, school varicella PHEE accounted for 100% of varicella PHEE, and the attack rate was 3.38% (6 566/194 260). The sources of reported varicella PHEE were hospitals 45.40% (58/123), epidemic analysis 36.78% (44/123), schools 13.22% (15/123), and others 4.60% (6/123). Conclusion The incidence of varicella in schools in Yunnan Province is high, which is harmful to students. PHEE reported in rural schools are relatively lagging behind. On the basis of doing two doses of varicella vaccination, emergency prevention should be focused on epidemic seasons, lower grade schools and rural schools. The source of infection shall be controlled and managed in time to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. It is recommended that varicella should be included in the management of Class C infectious diseases.

Objective To understand the epidemic characteristics of different virus types of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Zhaotong City, and provide guidance and recommendations for the prevention and control of HFMD, and to analyze seasonal characteristics of different virus types of HFMD in Zhaotong City. Methods The epidemiological characteristics of different virus types of HFMD in Zhaotong City from 2014 to 2017 were analyzed using the concentration and circular distribution methods. Results The main pathogens detected were EV71, Cox A16 and other enteroviruses, which were 216, 182, and 294, respectively, accounting for 57.45%, 73.44%, and 67.11%. M was 0.86, indicating that EV71 had strong seasonality. The Rayleigh test showed statistically significant differences (Z = 99.53, P <0.001). ā = 157 °, the peak day of onset was May 10, similar to untyped (May 16), the peak period was April 21-June 1, and the epidemic period was April 1-June 21. Conclusion According to the incubation period of hand-foot-mouth disease and the period of time during which the vaccine develops protective effects, vaccination of hand-foot-mouth disease vaccine at the peak period has a good guiding significance for the timeliness and pertinence of vaccination.
