Objective : To explore the effects and mechanisms of Kobophenol A ( KPA) on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) -induced M1 macrophage polarization，and to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of inflammatory immune diseases and the development of new drugs． Methods: The M1 macrophage polarization model of RAW264. 7 was established by LPS induction，and the peroxiredoxin 6 ( Prdx6) knockdown model was constructed using the Prdx6 inhibitor MJ33 and Prdx6-siRNA．RAW264. 7 cells，a mouse macrophage cell line，were treated with various concentrations of KPA． Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay．The expression levels of Prdx6 and M1 macrophage polarization-related proteins，including inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2) ，were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining．The expression levels of Prdx6 and M1 macrophage polarization-related genes iNOS，interleukin-6 ( IL-6) ，and tumor necrosis factor α ( TNF-α) ，were measured by RT-qPCR. Flow cytometry was employed to detect the expression of cluster of differentiation 86 ( CD86) ，a marker of M1 macrophages． Results: Compared with the LPS-induced M1 macrophage polarization model ， KPA significantly reversed the morphological changes of M1 macrophage polarization in RAW264. 7 macrophages and decreased the expression of M1 macrophage polarization-related proteins iNOS，COX- 2，CD86 and related genes iNOS，IL-6，TNF-α ( all P＜0. 05) ．In addition，LPS significantly downregulated the expression of Prdx6 in RAW264. 7 macrophages，while KPA upregulated the expression of Prdx6．Moreover，treatment with the Prdx6 inhibitor MJ33 significantly upregulated the expression of iNOS，a marker of M1 macrophage polarization，in RAW264. 7 macrophages，whereas treatment with KPA significantly downregulated the expression of iNOS ( all P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion KPA inhibits LPS-induced M1 polarization of RAW264. 7 macrophages by upregulating the expression of Prdx6．

Objective : To identify autophagy-related genes involved in pulmonary infection caused by the highly drug-resistant and virulent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300 ( USA300) ，and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms ， thereby providing potential targets for immunotherapy． Methods: The GSE220943 dataset of a USA300-induced pulmonary infection mouse model was obtained from the GEO database． Differentially expressed genes ( DEGs ) were identified using the DESeq2 package． Autophagy-related genes ( ARGs) were retrieved from the MSigDB and Autophagy databases．Weighted gene co-expression network analysis ( WGCNA) was performed to construct gene co-expression modules．Genes overlapping among DEGs，ARGs，and WGCNA modules were identified as autophagy-related DEGs．Gene Ontology ( GO) enrichment analysis was con- ducted using the clusterProfiler R package，while Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ( KEGG) pathway en- richment analysis was performed via the Metascape platform．Immune cell infiltration was analyzed using the Immu- CellAI-mouse website．A protein - protein interaction ( PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database， and hub genes were identified through topological analysis in Cytoscape． Receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) curves were plotted via the website https: / /www．bioinformatics．com．cn． Finally，key gene expression was validated in mouse lung tissues by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR ( RT-qPCR) ． Results: A total of 6 135，4 075，3 680，and 2 342 differentially expressed genes ( DEGs) were identified at 12，24，48，and 96 hours post-infection，respectively．By integrating DEGs，autophagy-related genes ( ARGs) ，and WGCNA mod- ules，19 autophagy-related DEGs were identified． GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that these genes were mainly involved in CD4 + T cell activation and regulation，innate immune responses，and autophagosome mem- brane formation．Immune infiltration analysis revealed that innate immune cells such as neutrophils and dendritic cells predominated during the early phase of infection，while γδ T cells and M2 macrophages became more promi- nent in the later stages．PPI network analysis identified 12 hub autophagy-related genes，among which three upreg- ulated key genes ( Eif2ak2，Ikbke，and Nfkbiz) were further confirmed．The area under the ROC curve for all three genes was 1. 000．RT-qPCR validation demonstrated significantly elevated expression of these three genes in lung tissues at 24 hours post-infection ( all P＜0. 05) ． Conclusion Eif2ak2，Ikbke，and Nfkbiz may be involved in the pulmonary infection caused by USA300 by promoting autophagy and hold promise as potential targets for immuno- therapy．

The skin is the first barrier to maintain the stability of internal environment of the body and resist harmful factors of external environment, and is easily damaged because of various external factors. When full-thickness skin defects reach a certain level, it is difficult for the skin to repair itself, so wound dressings are needed to promote wound healing. Seeking an ideal dressing that can promote wound healing has long been a hot research topic. Chitosan is a unique biopolysaccharide polymer with good biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial activity, and thermal stability, which has great potential in the development and application of wound dressings. Based on the introduction of properties of chitosan, this article reviews the role and mechanism of chitosan-based wound dressings in wound healing, and summarizes the hemostatic effect, antibacterial effect, delivery effect, and tissue regeneration promotion effect of chitosan, aiming to provide a certain reference for the research and development of new chitosan-based wound dressings in the future.

Objective:To explore the effect of family-participated dietary management on dietary compliance behavior and nutritional status in elderly maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:From July 2019 to December 2020, a total of 120 elderly MHD patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the research objects, and divided into the experimental group and the control group with 60 cases in each group by random number table method. The control group conducted routine dietary management, and the experimental group received dietary management based on family participation. Six months after intervention, the dietary compliance attitude, dietary compliance behavior and nutritional status were compared between the two groups.Results:Six months after intervention, the scores of social restriction attitude, self-care attitude, acceptance attitude and dietary compliance behavior attitude of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The scores of fluid restriction behavior, potassium intake behavior, self-care compliance, compliance in the face of difficulties, and dietary compliance of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The serum prealbumin (PA) , albumin (ALB) , hemoglobin (Hb) , and transferrin (TRF) of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Diet management based on family participation can enhance the attitude of dietary compliance, promote the development of dietary compliance behavior, and improve the nutritional status of elderly patients with MHD.

Objective:To understand the psychological status and nursing needs of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and provide reference for clinical targeted nursing.Methods:Using the phenomenological research method, a total of 15 patients with MHD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the research objects by the purposive sampling method, and they were given semi-structured individualized interviews. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to organize the data, extract the inductive themes and analyze the results.Results:The psychological status of MHD patients was repressed fear, despair and helplessness and acceptance. The nursing needs of MHD patients included disease-related knowledge needs, social support needs and health guidance needs.Conclusions:MHD patients have negative psychology. Medical staff need to understand the psychological status and nursing needs of patients and formulate targeted nursing interventions to meet the actual needs of patients and improve the quality of life of them.

Objective:To evaluate the implementation of the China Healthcare Improvement Initiative(CHII)from 2018 to 2020 in 143 tertiary public hospitals in China.Methods:In March 2019 and from January to March in 2021, 143 tertiary public hospitals in 31 provinces of China were investigated using the unified " medical institution questionnaire Ⅰ" and " medical institution Questionnaire Ⅱ" . The data were collected by means of hospital self-report and expert on-site scoring. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were used to analyze the data, and the data of two cross-sectional surveys were compared and analyzed.Results:The average score rate of implementing CHII in 143 sample hospitals in 2020 was 88.9%, which was higher than that in 2018(84.4%). The appointment diagnosis and treatment system, clinical pathway management system, day service, smart hospital and humanistic service were significantly improved. In 2020, the average score rate of logistics service, high quality nursing service and clinical pathway management system was higher than 95%, while the average score rate of day service, telemedicine system and medical social work system was lower than 85%. The total score rate of general hospitals was significantly higher than that of specialized hospitals( P<0.001). In 2020, the proportion of hospitals with full marks in 29 secondary indicators(74.4%)was more than 80%, reaching the standard level. Conclusions:The implementation level of CHII in tertiary public hospitals in China has been improved continuously and made significant progress, but some dimensions and indicators need to be further improved.

Objective To study the trends of lung cancer mortality among adult residents in Macheng City, Hubei Province from 1984 to 2018． Methods Mortality data was extracted from Macheng City disease surveillance points (DSPs) system and China Demographic Yearbook. The age-period-cohort (APC) model and Intrinsic Estimator algorithm were used to estimate the age effect, period effect and cohort effect of lung cancer mortality. Results The age effect coefficient of lung cancer mortality increased with age from 20 to 74 years old. The mortality risk of the 70-74 group was 42.62 times that of the 20-24 group. The period effect coefficient of lung cancer mortality also continued to rise with time. The cohort effect coefficient was parabolic, and residents born in 1939-1943 had the highest coefficient (1.298 4). Conclusion The risk of lung cancer death of adult residents in Macheng City significantly increased with the year and the rapid development of socio-economics.

Objective: To investigate the clinical application and effect evaluation of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) in the optimization of vascular recanalization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A total of 389 STEMI patients admitted to the emergency department of the Fifth Central Hospital in Tianjin from January 2014 to January 2015 were served as the control group, and 398 STEMI patients admitted to the chest pain center of the Fifth Central Hospital in Tianjin from January 2016 to October 2017 were served as the experimental group. In the control group, routine emergency treatment was used. At the same time, the intervention room was 24-hour prepared for emergency vascular recanalization. The experimental group used FMEA. Through the usage of FMEA, the main factors those caused the delay in revascularization treatment were determined, and the revascularization process was optimized for these influencing factors, thereby shortening the "criminal" blood vessel opening time of patients. The door-to-balloon dilatation time (D-to-B time), troponin testing time, placement time of the catheterization room, initiation of the catheterization room to balloon dilatation time, and preoperative and 1 week postoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, heart function parameters [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular short axis shortening rate (FS), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)] within 1 week, 3 months and 6 months after intervention, and the incidence of main cardiovascular adverse events within 1 month after intervention, hospital mortality, the length of hospital stay, and readmission within 1 year in the patients of two groups were recorded. Results: D-to-B time (minutes: 70.6±3.6 vs. 79.4±8.7), troponin testing time (minutes: 17.1±2.3 vs. 65.2±6.5), placement time of the catheterization room (minutes: 28.9±9.8 vs. 52.3±12.2) and activation of the catheterization room to balloon expansion time (minutes: 47.3±9.3 vs. 65.1±7.2) in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all P < 0.01). The NT-proBNP levels at 1 week after intervention in the two groups were lower than the preoperative levels, slightly lower in the experimental group, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in cardiac function at 1 week and 3 months after intervention between the two groups. The LVEF and FS at 6 months after intervention in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group [LVEF: 0.622±0.054 vs. 0.584±0.076, FS: (38.1±4.3)% vs. (35.4±6.2)%, both P < 0.01], and LVESD and LVEDD were decreased significantly [LVESD (mm): 31.2±3.8 vs. 34.7±4.2, LVEDD (mm): 49.2±5.3 vs. 52.4±5.6, all P < 0.01]. The length of hospital stay in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (days: 8.3±3.2 vs. 13.2±6.8, P < 0.01), the incidence of major cardiovascular adverse events within 1 month after intervention [13.6% (54/398) vs. 19.8% (77/389)], hospital mortality [1.8% (7/398) vs. 4.9% (19/389)], and readmission rate within 1 year [9.5% (38/398) vs. 14.5% (56/389)] in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The usage of FMEA to optimize the vascular recanalization procedure can shorten the emergency treatment time of STEMI patients, reduce the occurrence of adverse events, and improve the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the Demodex infection status and influencing factors in medical students in Wuhu City. Methods The mite specimens were collected by the cellophane tape method,and the influencing factors were investigated through the questionnaires. Results A total of 316 medical students were surveyed,117 students were infected with Demodex mite,and the total infection rate was 37.03%. There was no significant difference between the male and female in the infection rate( χ2 = 0.00,P > 0.05). Of the 117 infected cases,the infection rate of simple Demodex folliculorum was 51.28%,the infec-tion rate of simple Demodex brevis was 24.79%,and the rate of mixed infections was 23.93%. The rate of the mild infection (83.76%)was significantly higher than that of the moderate infection(12.82 %)and that of the severe infection(3.42%). The infection rate in the forehead was the highest(29.41%). Among the students with the oily skin,the infection rate of Demodex mite was related to sex. The infection rate of simple Demodex brevis in the male(3.70%)was lower than that in the female (16.42%)( χ2 = 6.92,P < 0.05),while the rate of the mixed infections in the male(17.28%)was higher than that in the fe-male(4.48%)( χ2 = 5.91,P < 0.05). The infection rate of facial skin with symptoms(51.80%)was higher than that of normal facial skin(33.05%)( χ2 = 9.14,P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the infection rate of Demodex mite and the living habits and other factors. Conclusions There is some infection of Demodex in the medical students. The infection rate of facial skin with symptoms is higher than that of the normal facial skin. So we should strengthen the prevention and treat-ment of Demodex infection in medical students.
