The global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has infected over 109 million people, leading to over 2 million deaths up to date and still lacking of effective drugs for patient treatment. Here, we screened about 1.8 million small molecules against the main protease (Mpro) and papain like protease (PLpro), two major proteases in severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 genome, and identified 1851Mpro inhibitors and 205 PLpro inhibitors with low nmol/l activity of the best hits. Among these inhibitors, eight small molecules showed dual inhibition effects on both Mpro and PLpro, exhibiting potential as better candidates for COVID-19 treatment. The best inhibitors of each protease were tested in antiviral assay, with over 40% of Mpro inhibitors and over 20% of PLpro inhibitors showing high potency in viral inhibition with low cytotoxicity. The X-ray crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro in complex with its potent inhibitor 4a was determined at 1.8 Å resolution. Together with docking assays, our results provide a comprehensive resource for future research on anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug development.

Objective:
To analyze the status of sleep disorders and their influencing factors among Tibetan secondary school students in high altitude areas in China, so as to provide a reference for the improvement and intervention of sleep quality among Tibetan secondary school students in high altitude areas.
Methods:
From April to July, 2022, a questionnaire survey on demographic factors, sleep disorders, and lifestyle was conducted on 5 486 Tibetan secondary school students in the Lhasa, Shigatse, and Nagqu regions of Tibet, China, using stratified whole-group sampling. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the sleep disorders of Tibetan secondary school students and their influencing factors.
Results:
The average score of PSQI for Tibetan secondary school students at high altitude was (5.67±3.23), and the detection rate of sleep disorders (PSQI>7) was 24.72% . There were significant differences in the prevalence of sleep disorders among different grades ( χ 2=23.95, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, academic stress, falling asleep after midnight, sleep environment, and parental sleep disorders were positively associated with the occurrence of sleep disorders among Tibetan secondary school students ( OR =2.74, 1.68, 2.62, 1.32, 2.02, 1.85, 2.61, 1.31, 2.19, 2.88, 4.91, 2.94, 2.51, 1.36, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Tibetan secondary school students in high altitude areas have poor sleep quality and widespread sleep disorder problems, which should be given intervention and improvement. Schools and families should give secondary school students more guidance on appropriate exercise, and reduce academic stress to improve sleep quality and ensure healthy physical and mental development for secondary school students.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in 276 hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract infection to facilitate prevention and treatment. Methods Among of 276 hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract infection from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed. Data on the distribution of pathogenic bacteria were collected and analyzed. At the same time, the information on drug resistance was collected, and the potential relationship between pathogen distribution and drug resistance was briefly analyzed and discussed. Results A total of 532 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in the blood samples from 276 patients in this study. There were 207 strains of Gram-positive bacteria, including 104 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 96 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and 7 strains of others. Gram negative bacteria (325 strains) were 172 strains of Klebsiella and 153 strains of Escherichia coli. The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in different gender and age groups (under 5 years old, 5-10 years old, and over 10 -14 years old) was calculated separately. The results showed that the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in female children under 5 years old (n=49 cases) was different from the total population: the infection of Gram-positive bacteria was higher than that of Gram-negative bacteria, and the proportion of Staphylococcus epidermidis was the highest (P<0.05). The distribution characteristics of children of other ages and sexes were consistent with the total distribution characteristics. The resistance rate of Gram-positive bacteria to penicillin, erythromycin and clarithromycin was high, while the resistance rate of Gram-negative bacteria to ampicillin, cefazolin and cefuroxime was high. The distribution characteristics were the same in children of different sex and age. Conclusion The pathogenic bacteria in children with lower respiratory tract infection in pediatric ward are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, and the main pathogenic bacteria have a high resistance rate to common drugs. The distribution of pathogenic bacteria in female children under 5 years old is unique: the infection of Gram-positive bacteria is higher than that of Gram-negative bacteria, and the proportion of Staphylococcus epidermidis is the highest, which deserves attention. The clinical drug sensitivity test can be used as an important reference for the treatment of drugs to guide the rational selection of antibiotics.

The 2030 Immunization Agenda of the World Health Organization (WHO) states that everyone in the world should fully benefit from vaccines to achieve good health and well-being. With the ever-changing disease spectrum and the improvement of residents' health literacy, relying solely on vaccines included in the National Immunization Program (NIP) is insufficient to meet the current requirements for disease prevention and control. Non-NIP vaccines play an important role in meeting people's diverse needs. Vaccine hesitancy is a global issue and an important factor affecting vaccine uptake. By reviewing relevant studies on vaccine hesitancy in recent years, this paper summarized different vaccination situations, current situation of vaccine hesitancy, measuring tools of vaccine hesitancy, and major influencing factors. It aims to provide references for the development of scientific and effective vaccine education strategies, which can increase public knowledge and understanding of vaccines, enhance healthcare professional's willingness and behavior in recommending vaccines, improve public vaccine literacy, and reduce vaccine hesitancy. At the same time, the supervision and guidance of media discourse should be strengthened to enhance the protective role of non-NIP vaccines in immunization barriers.

Mitochondrial myopathy is a group of multi-system diseases in which mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)or nuclear DNA(nDNA)defects lead to structural and functional dysfunction of mitochondria.The clinical manifestations of mitochondrial myopathy are complex and varied,and the testing for mtDNA and nDNA is not widely available,so misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis is common.Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia(CPEO)is a common type of mitochondrial myopathy,which is characterized by blepharoptosis.Here we report a 38-year-old female with mitochondrial myopathy presented with chronic numbness and weakness of the limbs,accompanied by blepharoptosis that was recently noticed.Laboratory and head magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)examinations showed no obvious abnormalities.Muscle and nerve biopsies showed characteristic ragged red fibers(RRFs)and large aggregates of denatured mitochondria.Testing for mtDNA and nDNA showed a known mutation c.2857C>T(p.R953C)and a novel variant c.2391G>C(p.M797I)in the polymerase gamma(POLG)gene,so the patient was diagnosed as mitochondrial myopathy.Clinicians should pay more attention to long-term unexplained skeletal muscle diseases with recent onset blepharoptosis.Histopathologic examination and genetic testing are of great value in the early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.

OBJECTIVE To identify the chemical composition of Xiaoshi granules, and investigate its potential mechanism of action in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD). METHODS Firstly, ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze the composition of the Xiaoshi granules, and then network pharmacology was used to screen the potential targets of the Xiaoshi granules for the treatment of FD. Molecular docking of core components and targets was performed by using AutoDock Tools 1.5.6 software. RESULTS A total of 53 major chemical components, mainly flavonoids and organic acids, were identified from Xiaoshi granules. Network pharmacology screened core components such as quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol and rutin, six core targets such as estrogen receptor (ESR1), signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3), androgen receptor(AR), cellular tumor antigen (TP53), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit α in breast cancer tissue(HIF1A), proto-oncogene tyrosine protein kinase (SRC), and obtained major signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt), advanced glycosylation products (AGE)-receptor for advanced glycosylation end products (RAGE), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The molecular docking results showed good docking activity between the core components and the core targets. CONCLUSIONS Xiaoshi granules may act on STAT3, HIF1A, SRC and other targets through quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol and other active ingredients to regulate PI3K- Akt, AGE-RAGE, MAPK and other signal pathways, thus exerting its therapeutic effect on FD.
