ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of a cluster of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection in a kindergarten in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City in May 2024, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of similar outbreaks. MethodsAn on-site investigation was conducted using an epidemiological case investigation form. Throat swab specimens collected from cases were screened for 13 respiratory pathogens using real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For HMPV nucleic acid positive specimens, the F gene of HMPV was used as the target gene for amplification and sequencing. The sequencing results were then compared with sequences in GenBank database to determine the virus subtypes and perform phylogenetic analyses. ResultsThe outbreak occurred in a kindergarter junior class with a total of 28 preschoolers and 3 teachers and childcare workers. A total of 11 cases (10 preschoolers and 1 teacher) were identified, including 8 male cases and 3 female cases. Clinical manifestations included fever in all 11 cases (100.00%), cough in 8 cases (72.72%), catarrhal symptoms in 4 cases (36.36%), and headache in 3 cases (27.27%). All symptoms were mild, and no severe cases were observed. A total of 11 throat swab samples were collected. Real-time fluorescent PCR test results showed that 3 samples were positive for HMPV nucleic acid, 2 samples were positive for both HMPV and Streptococcus pneumoniae, and 1 sample was positive for both HMPV and rhinovirus. The sequences of the 6 HMPV nucleic acid positive specimens were amplified and analyzed using specific primers, and all were determined to be HMPV subtype A2b. The F gene fragment sequence showed the highest similarity to PV081665.1/Brazil/2024 (99.65%), and also exhibited high similarity to PP683455.1/Indonesia/2021 (99.48%), PV016275.1/Beijing/2024 (99.31%), and PV052230.1/USA/2024 (99.13%). ConclusionThis cluster of acute respiratory tract infection was caused by HMPV subtype A2b, with co-infection of rhinovirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The F gene fragment sequences of the HMPV in this outbreak were highly homologous to those of the A2b strains isolated from Brazil, Beijing, Indonesia, and the the United States.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effect of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine and its effective components on inflammatory response in mice with acute lung injury(ALI).METHODS A mice model of acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was used as the in vivo animal model.The levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β,the total protein concentration,the number of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,the ratio of lung wet weight to dry weight,and the pathological damage of lung tissues were taken as the evaluation indexes.RAW264.7 macrophages induced by LPS were used as the in vitro experimental model,with the mRNA levels of intracellular inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 as indicators,systematic solvent extraction and silica gel column chromatography were used to separate and screen the effective parts and components of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine for treating acute lung injury.The component composition of the effective fractions was analyzed by mass spectrometry,the content of cyclic dipeptide components in the effective fraction was determined,and the anti-in-flammatory activity of cyclic dipeptides was verified in vitro.RESULTS The ethyl acetate extraction fraction obtained by extracting the supernatant of water extraction and ethanol precipitation of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine(referred to as the ethyl acetate fraction for short)significantly improved the inflammatory response in mice with acute lung injury and significantly reduced the mRNA levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS.The Fr.1 fraction isolated from the ethyl acetate frac-tion by silica gel column chromatography had anti-inflammatory effects in vitro.Mass spectrometry determined the content of two main cyclic dipeptide components,cyclo-(Pro-Phe)and cyclo-(Pro-Val),in the Fr.1 fraction.After mixing these two cyclic dipeptide components in the molar ratio in the Fr.1 fraction and administering them in vitro,the results showed that the combination of these two cyclic dipeptide components could significantly inhibit the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS.CONCLUSION Cyclic dipeptide component is one of the main material basis categories for the anti-inflammatory effect of Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum Cum Alumine.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA-4262 (miR-4262) and neuregulin 1 (NRG1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and the relationship with prognosis.Methods:A total of 102 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical resection from January 2017 to February 2021 in Tongren People's Hospital of Guizhou Province were selected. The expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 in NSCLC cancer tissues and adjacent tissues, as well as NSCLC cancer tissues with different clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. TargetScan database was used to predict the binding sites of miR-4262 and NRG1, and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between miR-4262 and NRG1 expression in NSCLC cancer tissues. Based on the mean expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 in NSCLC cancer tissues, the patients were divided into high miR-4262 expression group (miR-4262≥1.52, n=54) and low miR-4262 expression group (miR-4262<1.52, n=48), high NRG1 expression group (NRG1≥0.79, n=54) and low NRG1 expression group (NRG1<0.79, n=48). Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the 3-year overall survival (OS) rates between groups. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Results:The expression level of miR-4262 was significantly higher in NSCLC tumor tissues compared to adjacent tissues (1.52±0.21 vs. 1.11±0.20), while NRG1 expression level was lower (0.79±0.11 vs. 1.06±0.11), there were statistically significant differences ( t=14.22, P<0.001; t=-15.13, P<0.001). The expression of miR-4262 was negatively correlated with NRG1 in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients ( r=-0.74, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 of NSCLC patients in tumor differentiation ( t=2.80, P=0.006; t=-2.80, P=0.006), TNM stage ( F=24.36, P<0.001; F=17.66, P<0.001), and lymph node metastasis ( t=4.02, P<0.001; t=-3.98, P<0.001). At the end of the follow-up period, 57 patients survived, and 45 died, with a 3-year OS rate of 55.88%. Patients with high miR-4262 expression had a significantly lower 3-year OS rate compared to those with low miR-4262 expression (35.19% vs. 79.17%), patients with high NRG1 expression had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those with low NRG1 expression (77.78% vs. 31.25%), there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=22.58, P<0.001; χ2=27.26, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that, age ( HR=2.47, 95% CI: 1.05-5.80, P=0.038), maximum tumor diameter ( HR=3.75, 95% CI: 1.61-8.74, P=0.002), differentiation degree ( HR=3.03, 95% CI: 1.32-6.96, P=0.009), TNM stage (stage Ⅱ, HR=3.45, 95% CI: 1.10-10.83, P=0.034; stage Ⅲ, HR=6.72, 95% CI: 2.03-22.26, P=0.002), lymph node metastasis ( HR=3.00, 95% CI: 1.29-6.96, P=0.010), miR-4262 expression ( HR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.48-9.35, P=0.005), and NRG1 expression ( HR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.13-0.73, P=0.008) were all influencing factors for OS in NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis showed that, differentiation degree ( HR=5.47, 95% CI: 1.63-18.34, P=0.006), TNM stage (stage Ⅲ, HR=5.56, 95% CI: 1.23-25.14, P=0.026), lymph node metastasis ( HR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.19-11.60, P=0.024), miR-4262 expression ( HR=8.56, 95% CI: 2.26-32.41, P=0.002), and NRG1 expression ( HR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.09-0.76, P=0.014) were all independent influencing factors for OS in NSCLC patients. Conclusions:The expression of miR-4262 is high and the expression of NRG1 is low in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients. The 3-year OS rate of patients with high miR-4262 expression is lower than that of patients with low miR-4262 expression, and the 3-year OS rate of patients with high NRG1 expression is higher than that of patients with low NRG1 expression. Differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, miR-4262 and NRG1 are all independent influencing factors for the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

ObjectiveBased on modern analytical techniques and a depressed mouse model established by chronic unpredictable mild stress（CUMS）， to evaluate the quality marker（Q-Marker） and pharmacodynamic difference of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by different processes. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was used to establish the characteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang， and determine the content of Q-Marker in the samples prepared by ancient and modern processes. Seventy C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group， model group， fluoxetine group（3 mg·kg^-1）， low and high dose groups of ancient process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， and low and high dose groups of modern process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal group， CUMS was used to induce depression in mice from the other groups for 28 d. After successful modeling， administration groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage every day， and the normal and model groups were given an equal volume of pure water by gavage for 21 consecutive days. Change in body mass of mice was recorded， tail suspension test and open field test were used to evaluate the depressive behavior of mice， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was employed to determine the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-1β and IL-6 in serum. ResultsCharacteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes were established， the similarity between the two was 0.951， and 8 characteristic peaks were recognized with the reference peak of regaloside A. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the Q-Marker content was similar in Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by ancient and modern processes. The results of pharmacodynamics showed that， compared with the normal group， the model group showed increased immobility time in the tail suspension test， reduced total movement distance in the open field test， and elevated IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the serum（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the behavioral indicators of mice in the Baihe Dihuangtang treatment group were significantly improved in terms of tail suspension time and open field exercise， and the levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes both had antidepressant effects， and the difference between the two was not statistically significant in improving depressive symptoms. ConclusionQ-Marker of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by modern and ancient methods are equivalent in content， and the pharmacological effects are consistent， indicating that dried Lilii Bulbus can replace fresh products in the preparation of Baihe Dihuangtang. This study provides a scientific basis for the development of new drugs of Baihe Dihuangtang and a reference for its rational application and clinical use.

Objective To explore the nutritional risk investigation and influencing factors of elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods The clinical data of 239 elderly patients with CAP in Western Theater General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2022 to January 2024. Nutritional risk screening scale (NRS2002) was used to investigate the nutritional risk of patients. According to the nutritional risk investigation results, 239 elderly patients with CAP were divided into higher risk group (NRS2002≥3 points) and lower risk group (NRS2002<3 points). Univariate analysis was used to compare the gender, age, education level, body mass index (BMI), family monthly income, living condition, severity of pneumonia, smoking history, presence or absence of chronic diseases, cognitive dysfunction and self-care ability. The independent risk factors of nutritional risk in elderly patients with CAP were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results According to NRS2002 score, there were 87 cases (36.4%) in higher risk group and 152 cases (63.6%) in lower risk group. The NRS2002 scores in higher risk group were significantly higher than those in lower risk group (P<0.05). There were no obvious differences in gender, BMI, family monthly income and presence or absence of smoking history between groups (P>0.05). The higher risk group had significantly higher rates of age>70 years old, education level (high school and below), living condition (living alone), severity of pneumonia (high-risk pneumonia), chronic disease, cognitive dysfunction and poor self-care ability than the lower risk group (P<0.05). Binary logistics regression analysis showed that age>70 years old , education level of high school and below, living condition (living alone), severity of pneumonia (high-risk pneumonia), chronic diseases, cognitive dysfunction and self-care ability (poor) were independent risk factors for nutritional risk in elderly CAP patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Elderly patients with CAP have high nutritional risk, which may be affected by many factors such as age, education level, living condition, severity of pneumonia, presence or absence of chronic diseases, cognitive dysfunction and self-care ability. It is necessary to formulate targeted intervention measures according to the above factors to improve the nutritional risk of patients.

Baihe Dihuangtang is a famous classical formula that has been respected by physicians in the past and is still used today. It was first recorded in ZHANG Zhongjing's Synopsis of the Golden Chamber， and is composed of Lilii Bulbus and Rehmanniae Radix juice. This paper systematically reviewed the research progress of historical evolution， pharmacological activities and clinical applications of Baihe Dihuangtang in recent years， and found that there was no major changes in the composition， decoction method and indications of this formula since the Han dynasty. According to the herbal textual research， the fleshy scaly leaves of Lilium brownii var. viridulum should be selected for Lilii Bulbus in this formula， and the tuberous roots of Rehmannia glutinosa were selected for Rehmanniae Radix. According to the dosage conversion of ancient and modern times， the dosage is 245 g of fresh Lilii Bulbus and 400 g of fresh Rehmanniae Radix， and the ratio of their juice is 1∶1. Its efficacy is to nourish Yin and clear heat， and to tonify the heart and lungs， which is used to treat the heart and lung Yin deficiency syndrome of lily disease. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the research on the pharmacological effects of Baihe Dihuangtang mainly focuses on anti-depressant， anti-anxiety， improving insomnia and regulating metabolism， and it is mostly used clinically for neurological disorders such as depression， anxiety and insomnia. The quality marker（Q-Marker） of Baihe Dihuangtang were predicted according to the principles of ingredient specificity， component validity， component measurability， formula compatibility， and quality transmissibility and traceability， and it was determined that catalpol， rhmannioside D， regaloside A， regaloside B， regaloside C， and acteoside could be selected as potential Q-Markers of Baihe Dihuangtang， which could provide scientific reference for the establishment of the quality control system and the development of compound preparation of this famous classical formula.

To enhance the learning stickiness, improve low completion rate of online teaching, and promote teaching quality has become the key to solve the contradiction in online teaching. In this paper, taking the teaching of biochemistry as example, based on the trigger mechanism, maintenance mechanism and migration mechanism of sticky learning, guided by the three-dimensional goal of "knowledge and skills, process and method, emotional attitude and values", the BOPPPS (bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory-learning, post-assessment, summary) teaching model was combined with online teaching. According to the interactive behavior in the course learning space, the Spearman rank correlation analysis was performed by SPSS 18.0 software to comprehensively evaluate the learning stickiness degree. The research has found that, due to its "micro but refined, compact structure and student-centered" characteristics, BOPPPS combining with online teaching can effectively make up for the time and space limitations of offline teaching and the excessively broad online teaching, bring benefits from the perspectives of "inclusion, attraction and production", promote students' active learning, and practically improve learning stickiness. The research provides a new idea for creating online "golden" courses.
