ObjectiveTo analyze the changes in the degree of coordination of China's major epidemic prevention and control efforts before and after the outbreak of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), so as to explore the impact of epidemic prevention and control measures on coordination dynamics. MethodsA total of 3 864 policy documents related to epidemic prevention and control from January 2000 to December 2020 across 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) in China were systematically collected. Contents specific to collaborative and cooperative efforts were extracted, and the extent of interdepartmental coordination were quantified to assess the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control efforts. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was adopted to statistically analyze the differences between the indicators before and after the epidemic. ResultsThe average overall coordination level for major epidemic prevention and control in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) increased from 43.06% to 97.62%, and the average coordination levels in the eastern, central, and western China soared from 42.29%, 37.50%, and 47.46%, to 98.81%, 96.20%, and 97.46%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). In terms of department categorization, coordination levels in the professional departments and the key support departments peaked at 100.00%, while other support departments rose to 95.43%, with an increase of 77.15%, 181.85%, and 139.89%, respectively, exhibiting noteworthy statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). ConclusionThe scope of coordination departments of China’s major epidemic prevention and control exists a remarkable surge following the COVID-19 outbreak, notable heightened coordination is particularly observed among the key support departments. Future endeavors should prioritize the roles played by diverse departments in epidemic prevention and control, enhancing both the clarity of departmental responsibilities and the effectiveness of interdepartmental coordination.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the public health governance capacity of 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces, providing a scientific evaluation basis for building a "Healthy Yangtze River Delta". MethodsA comprehensive collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was conducted, totaling 6 920 policy documents, 1 720 information reports, and 1 200 literature pieces. Based on the evaluation standards for an appropriate public health system established by the research team, the basic status of public health governance capacity was assessed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the 40 cities. ResultsIn 2022, the public health governance capacity score for the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was (562.5±38.0) points. In terms of specific areas, the emergency response field received the highest score of (791.4±49.7) points, while the chronic disease prevention and control field received the lowest score of (368.2±29.6) points. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui region has largely achieved the strategic priority of health, gradually improved public health legal regulations, and established a basic organizational framework with a solid foundation for information and data infrastructure. However, challenges still need to be addressed, such as unstable government funding for public health, unclear departmental responsibilities, and barriers to information interoperability. ConclusionThe public health governance capacity of the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Province has been at a moderate level, but disparities have still existed across regions and fields. In the future, while continuing to deepen existing advantages, it is essential to accurately identify the causes of problems, establish a long-term and stable investment mechanism, enhance information connectivity mechanisms, further clarify departmental responsibilities, and promote the achievement of the "Healthy Yangtze River Delta" goal.

The cooccurrence of NPM1, FLT3-ITD, and DNMT3A mutations (i.e., triple mutation) is related to dismal prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) receiving chemotherapy alone. In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we aimed to identify whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) could overcome the poor prognosis of DNMT3A^mutNPM1^mutFLT3-ITD^mut AML across four transplant centers in China. Fifty-three patients with triple-mutated AML receiving allo-HSCT in complete remission were enrolled. The 1.5-year probabilities of relapse, leukemia-free survival, and overall survival after allo-HSCT were 11.9%, 80.3%, and 81.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that more than one course of induction chemotherapy and allo-HSCT beyond CR1 were associated with poor survival. To our knowledge, this work is the largest study to explore the up-to-date undefined role of allo-HSCT in patients with triple-mutated AML. Our real-world data suggest that allo-HSCT could overcome the poor prognosis of DNMT3A^mutNPM1^mutFLT3-ITD^mut in AML.

OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of immune-related adverse events （irAEs） induced by tislelizumab in patients with liver cancer. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 203 liver cancer patients treated with tislelizumab in Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital from May 2022 to March 2024 was included. These patients were divided into an irAEs group （58 cases） and a non-irAEs group （145 cases）. Clinical data were collected and compared between the two groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was employed to analyze factors influencing the occurrence of irAEs and establish a predictive model. The receiver operator characteristic （ROC） curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of the model for the occurrence of irAEs. The correlation between irAEs and overall survival （OS） as well as progression free survival （PFS） in patients was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The irAEs induced by tislelizumab in liver cancer patients were predominantly grade 1-2 （89.71%）， mainly manifesting as hematological toxicity （42.65%） and hepatotoxicity （20.59%）， and mostly occurred within 1-12 cycles after tislelizumab treatment. Compared with liver cancer patients without underlying liver diseases， those with chronic hepatitis B had a higher incidence of irAEs. Statistically significant differences were observed between the irAEs and non-irAEs groups in terms of the number of patients with a China Liver Cancer Staging （CNLC） stage ≥Ⅱ， white blood cell count， neutrophil count， systemic immune-inflammation index （SII）， and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR） （P＜0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that CNLC stage ≥Ⅱ was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of irAEs （P＝0.027）. The ROC curve indicated that neutrophil count， white blood cell count， NLR， and SII all demonstrated certain predictive potential for the occurrence of irAEs （with area under the curve values of 0.614， 0.592，0.591， and 0.589， respectively）. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed no statistically significant differences in PFS and OS between the irAEs and non-irAEs groups， among patients with different grades of irAEs， and among irAEs patients with different CNLC stages （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSION The irAEs induced by tislelizumab in liver cancer patients are relatively mild （grade 1-2），mainly manifesting as hematological toxicity and hepatotoxicity. Liver cancer patients with concurrent chronic hepatitis B are at a higher risk of developing irAEs. CNLC stage ≥Ⅱ is an independent risk factor for irAEs induced by tislelizumab. Neutrophil count， white blood cell count， NLR， and SII have certain predictive value for the occurrence of irAEs.

Infectious chronic refractory wounds are common in the department of dermatology,and have a great influence on the quality of life of patients.Their incidence is increasing year by year.The pathogensis of infectious chronic refractory wounds is due to the exuberance of pathogenic heat and toxin,disharmony between nutritive qi and defensive qi,and imbalance of zang-fu organs,which is related with the theory of qi-fluid and sweat pores.Therefore,it is proposed that stagnation and obstruction of sweat pores contribute to the pathological basis for the onset of infectious chronic refractory wounds,and therapeutic principle of opening sweat pores was presented.In the medication view of treating the skin diseases with the skin-related Chinese medicinals,skin-related Chinese medicinals are good at treating skin diseases,and consequently the application of skin-related Chinese medicinals to open sweat in treating infectious chronic refractory wounds was discussed.It is suggested that for the treatment of infectious chronic refractory wounds due to pathogenic fire-toxin accumulation in sweat pores,therapy of clearing heat and expelling fire to open sweat pores should be exployed,and skin-related Chinese medicinals such as Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex,Dictamni Cortex and Fraxini Cortex can be selected;for the treatment of infectious chronic refractory wounds due to blood-stasis stagnation in sweat pores,therapy of cooling and activating blood to open sweat pores should be exployed,and skin-related Chinese medicinals such as Moutan Cortex and Lycii Cortex can be selected;for the treatment of infectious chronic refractory wounds due to wind and dampness obstructing sweat pores,therapy of expelling wind and eliminating dampness to unblock sweat pores should be exployed,and skin-related Chinese medicinals such as Acanthopanacis Cortex,Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium,and Poriae Cutis can be selected;for the treatment of infectious chronic refractory wounds due to healthy qi deficiency resulting in the obstruction of sweat pores,therapy of invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney to nourish sweat pores should be exployed,and skin-related Chinese medicinals such as Cinnamomi Cortex,Eucommiae Cortex,and black soybean testa(Testa Glycinea Macids)can be chosen.Guided by the theory of qi-fluid and sweat pores,this paper explored the application of skin-related Chinese medicinals in the treating infectious chronic refractory wounds,which provides theoretical basis for such an approach,enriches the theory of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of infectious chronic refractory wounds,and expands the clinical application of the theory of sweat pores.

Objective To detect Serum metabolites with label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)for quickly distinguishing the metabolic profiles of breast cancer patients and healthy subjects.Methods A kind of Plasma nano-material was synthesized as a probe for SERS,which has also been used to detect Raman reporter mol-ecules to assess its detection capability.Serum samples from breast cancer patients and healthy subjects were col-lected and the proteins were precipitated with methanol and removed to collect serum metabolites.Probe-based SERS was used to analyze the serum metabolites of patients and explore the changes in the metabolic profiles of breast cancer patients.Results The SERS probe was synthesized and validated.An analytical method based on SERS probe was established,which achieved a linear range(LR)of 4 orders of magnitude and a limit of detection(LOD)up to 10 nmol/L.Raman spectra of serum metabolites from 5 breast cancer patients and 5 healthy subjects were analyzed to study differences in metabolite changes.Conclusions In this study,the molecular spectrum differences of serum metabolites in breast cancer patients were screened by probe-based SERS method,which pro-vides a technology support research on the metabolic changes caused by breast cancer so potentially provide a new method for fast breast cancer screening.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanism of action of polygonatum odoratum in treating Alzheimer's disease through the utilization of network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques.Methods The methods employed include target screening,Gene Ontology(GO)function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis,and molecular docking simulations to assess the binding interactions between the active compounds in polygonatum odoratum(POD)and the key target proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.Subsequently,lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was used to induce an inflammatory cell model in BV2 microglial cells.After treating the cell model with POD extract for 24 hours,the cells were collected,and the expression of the target genes were detected by Real-time PCR.Results Eight active ingredients and 172 targets of POD were screened.The biological processes such as protein phosphorylation and signal transduction,protein binding and ATP binding were obtained by GO functional analysis.KEGG enrichment yielded PI3K/Akt,cAMP and other signaling pathways.The molecular docking result showed that the active ingredient of POD had well binding activity with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src(SRC),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),STAT3.Through Real-time PCR experiments,the gene expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),prostaglandin G/H synthase 2(PTGS2),interleukin(IL)-6,and IL-1β in the LPS-induced inflammatory cell model were significantly upregulated.After treating the inflammatory model with POD extract for 24 hours,the expression of TNF-α was significantly reduced,the expression of STAT3 was upregulated,there were no significant changes in the expressions of SRC and EGFR.Conclusion Network pharmacology suggests polygonatum odoratum's potential anti-Alzheimer's effects may be mediated through its interaction with targets such as EGFR,TNF,SRC,and STAT3.The experimental results suggest that polygonatum odoratum exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by acting on TNF-α,which may further alleviate the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of early postoperative abnormal blood glucose on the short-term prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and to analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors related to poor early prognosis.Methods A total of 897 patients with NSCLC who underwent thoracoscopic surgery in Huadong Hospital,Fudan University from Jan 2020 to Aug 2021 were divided into hyperglycemia(HG)group(>7.8 mmol/L)and normal blood glucose(NG)group(≤7.8 mmol/L and≥3.9 mmol/L)according to the early postoperative blood glucose values.Additionally,the patients were divided into higher blood glucose fluctuation group(≥4 mmol/L)and the group with lower blood glucose fluctuation(<4 mmol/L)basing on the fasting blood glucose.Using Logistic regression models,column line charts,ROC curves and other methods,we aimed to clarify the impact of early postoperative blood glucose abnormalities on short-term prognosis,explore clinical characteristics associated with poor short-term outcomes,identify other high-risk factors,and establish relevant risk prediction models.Results Compared with the NG group,the incidence of postoperative pneumonia,thromboembolism,ICU admission rate,total length of hospital stay and hospital cost were significantly higher in the HG group(P<0.05).Higher blood glucose fluctuation group had a greater risk of ICU admission(P=0.003).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,preoperative fasting glucose,white blood cell count and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(CYFRA21-1)were risk factors for postoperative hyperglycemia(P<0.05).Contrary to the effect of BMI,diabetes,male patients,higher blood glucose fluctuation,white blood cell count and age were the risk factors for postoperative adverse events(P<0.05).The AUC of the column line chart model was 0.661(95%CI:0.624-0.698),indicating good discriminative ability for predicting poor short-term prognosis postoperatively.Calibration curves also demonstrated good consistency between predicted and actual probabilities.Conclusion Early postoperative blood glucose fluctuations independently impact the short-term prognosis of thoracoscopic NSCLC patients.Blood glucose combined with gender,BMI,white blood cell count,age and diabetes history can serve as predictive factors for poor short-term prognosis postoperatively.Additionally,a column line chart constructed based on these factors may aid clinicians in early intervention for NSCLC patients with indications.
