Objective: To investigate the prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection among blood donors in Hunan Province from 2022 to 2024. Methods: A total of 1 830 342 blood donors from 14 prefecture-level blood centers in Hunan Province over the past three years were screened for anti-HTLV-Ⅰ/Ⅱ using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Initially reactive samples were further tested with Line Immunoassay (LIA )/MP-Western blot and RT-PCR nucleic acid test for confirmation. Blood donors confirmed positive for HTLV were tracked and followed up. Results: From 2022 to 2024, the initial ELISA reactive rate for anti-HTLV-I/II among blood donors in Hunan Province was 1.36 per 10 000 (249/1 830 342). The confirmed positive rate was 0.20 per 10 000 (37/1 830 342), accounting for 14.86% of the initially reactive donors. The follow-up success rate for confirmed HTLV-positive blood donors was only 18.92%, while that for HTLV-indeterminate donors was 54.17%. Conclusion: The confirmed HTLV infection rates in Yueyang, Loudi, Shaoyang, Yiyang, and Zhuzhou cities were higher than the provincial (0.20 per 10 000). Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Zhangjiajie, and Xiangxi were identified as low prevalence areas, with an infection rate of 0. The overall follow-up success rate was low, indicating significant difficulties and bottlenecks in follow-up work. The comprehensive screening for HTLV and follow-up studies in Hunan provide valuable data to further improve blood safety testing strategies and risk warning mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for safe drug use in clinic by mining the adverse drug events （ADE） of 3 kinds of anti-influenza A virus drugs （oseltamivir， zanamivir， baloxavir marboxil）. METHODS The ADE data of oseltamivir， zanamivir and baloxavir marboxil were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system （FAERS） between the first quarter in 2004 and the third quarter in 2022， and mined by using reporting odds ratio （ROR） method. The designated medical events （DME） were estimated. The system organ class （SOC） in the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities （MedDRA， version 25.0） was used for the classification and statistics of drug ADE terminology. RESULTS A total of 12 636， 1 749 and 1 283 ADE reports were retrieved for oseltamivir， zanamivir and baloxavir marboxil， involving 26， 16 and 17 SOCs， respectively. Oseltamivir was strongly associated with sleep terror， abnormal behavior， hallucination and delirium. Zanamivir was implicated in abnormal behavior， delirium， incoherence， and altered state of consciousness with prominent signal intensity. Baloxavir marboxil was strongly associated with ischemic colitis， hemorrhagic cystitis， erythema multiforme and melaena. Erythema multiform was detected in the DME of three drugs with strong signals. CONCLUSIONS When clinically administering the three drugs， it is crucial to pay close attention to both common adverse reactions and those ADEs that are not explicitly mentioned in the drug instructions. For oseltamivir， clinicians should exercise caution due to the potential risk of acute kidney injury and fulminant hepatitis， necessitating regular monitoring of the patient’s liver and kidney function. When prescribing zanamivir， caution should be exercised due to ADEs related to the respiratory system， including acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure， necessitating close monitoring of the patient’s respiratory status. Similarly， for baloxavir marboxil， clinicians should be vigilant for potential ADEs such as erythema multiforme and rhabdomyolysis.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1(G-Rg1)on interleukin-6(IL-6)-induced neuronal injury in rats by regulating Janus activated kinase(JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods After culture,rat hippocampal neurons were divided into the control group(normal culture),the IL-6 model group(50 μg/L IL-6 was used to treat rat hippocampal neurons for 18 h to simulate the inflammatory environment in brain),the G-Rg1 low dose(10 μmol/L)group and the G-Rg1 high dose(40 μmol/L)group.After 48 h of normal culture,the survival rate of hippocampal neurons was determined by MTT method.The total iron load of neurons was detected by spectrophotometry,and levels of ferroptosis markers glutathione(GSH)and glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)were detected.The mRNA expression level of ferroportin 1(FPN1)in hippocampal neurons was detected by qRT-PCR.The expression of proteins related to the neuronal JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway was detected by Western blot assay.Results Compared with the CON group,the neuronal survival rate,GSH content,GPX4 content and FPN1 mRNA expression level were decreased in the IL-6 model group,and the total iron load,p-JAK and p-STAT3 protein expression levels were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the IL-6 model group,the neuronal survival rate,GSH content,GPX4 content and FPN1 mRNA expression level were increased in the low-dose and high-dose G-Rg1 groups,and the total iron load,p-JAK and p-STAT3 protein expression levels were decreased(P＜0.05).Changes of the above indicators were more significant in the high-dose G-Rg1 group than those in the low-dose G-Rg1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of G-Rg1 alleviating ferroptosis of hippocampal neurons in rats may be related to the inhibition of IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway,up-regulation of FPN1 expression,and prevention of iron overload.

It is generally accepted that Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are primarily found in the genitourinary tract and rarely enter the tissues and bloodstream. In recent years，cases of extra-genitourinary system infections caused by Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum have been increasing with a trend of multi-drug resistance，while detection and diagnosis are difficult，leading to treatment delay clinically. This article reviews the latest research progress on the pathogenic characteristics，laboratory diagnosis，infection types，and treatment options of extra-genitourinary system infections caused by Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum，in order to provide reference for etiological diagnosis and treatment of the infection.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the research status， hotspots and trends in the research of intravenous thrombolytic drugs in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. METHODS The original studies related to intravenous thrombolytic drugs for acute ischemic stroke were collected by searching the Web of Science core database； the authors， countries/regions， institutions and keywords of the literature were visualized and analyzed using CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software. RESULTS A total of 1 810 articles were included， and the number of articles published showed an increasing trend year by year， with the United States （556 articles） having the largest number of articles， and China ranking the second （339 articles， with centrality of 0）. The most published author was Ahmed of Sweden （32 articles）， and the most published institution was the University of Calgary in Canada （80 articles）. The current research status and hotspots were mainly the application and therapeutic exploration of new thrombolytic drugs， and the frontier and development trend were the adverse prognosis of neurological deterioration and hemorrhagic transformation accompanied by intravenous thrombolytic drug treatment. CONCLUSIONS The research hotspots and frontier about intravenous thrombolytic drugs for acute ischemic stroke are mainly the third generation of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator， and the exploration of new intravenous thrombolytic drugs and their safety and effectiveness will be the future research hotspots. Chinese scholars and research teams should strengthen cooperation and exchanges with other countries， which can be strengthened by carrying out multi-center clinical trials.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment （CRCI） of breast cancer based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging （rs-fMRI）. MethodTwenty-five patients with CRCI of breast cancer were included and treated with the acupuncture based on the method of regulating qi and blood， nourishing mind and benefiting intelligence； the selected acupoints included Zusanli （ST 36， bilateral）， Xuehai （SP 10， bilateral）， Tanzhong （CV 17）， Zhongwan （CV 12）， Qihai （CV 6）， Baihui （GV 20）， Fengfu （GV 16， bilateral）， Xinshu （BL 15， bilateral）， Tongli （HT 5， bilateral）， Zhaohai （KI 6， bilateral）， Yixi （BL 45， bilateral） twice a week， each time interval of 2-3 days， for 8 weeks. The scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment （MoCA）， Mini-mental State Examination （MMSE）， European Cancer Research and Treatment Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire （EORTC QLQ-C30） were compared before and after acupuncture， and the effectiveness were evaluated by MoCA scale. The patients received rs-fMRI before and after treatment， and used low-frequency oscillation amplitude and functional connectivity （FC） analysis to extract the mean zALFF values of regions of interest such as bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus， bilateral hippocampus， bilateral amygdala， bilateral temporal pole middle temporal gyrus， and bilateral temporal pole supramarginal gyrus for comparison， and used the brain regions with statistically significant differences in the pre- and post-treatment zALFF values as the seed points for the seed-point-based FC Analysis. Correlation analyses were performed between the imaging metrics and the clinical scales. ResultsTwenty-four patients with CRCI of breast cancer completed treatment and follow-up. The zALFF values of the left hippocampus， left amygdala， and left temporal pole temporal gyrus in patients' rs-fMRI decreased after treatment （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and left temporal pole temporal gyrus and right posterior cerebellar lobe FC were elevated （t = -5.169）， and MoCA scale total scores and visuospatial and executive， naming， and delayed recall cognitive scores， MMSE scale total scores， and EORTC QLQ-C30 scale mood scores were significantly higher （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The total effective rate of MoCA was 58.33%. The difference in zALFF values of the left temporal pole middle temporal gyrus before and after treatment was negatively correlated with the MoCA total score （r= -0.499， P = 0.015）， as well as the difference in abstract function （r = -0.498， P = 0.016）. ConclusionThe acupuncture method of regulating qi and blood， nourishing mind and benefiting intelligence can improve the cognitive function of breast cancer patients with CRCI， and its mechanism may be related to improving the functional activities of hippocampus， amygdala and temporal lobe， as well as the functional connections of left temporal pole-temporal middle gyrus and right posterior cerebellar lobe.

Objective To systematically evaluate and analyze the qualitative research on the experience of maintenance hemodialysis patients,so as to provide references for the implementation of exercise interventions in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods We searched databases including PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,CINAHL,CBM,CNKI,WanFang Database and VIP from inception to September 30,2022,to collect qualitative studies about exercise experience of maintenance hemodialysis patients.The quality of included studies was evaluated according to JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia.The results were integrated by integrating methods.Results A total of 14 studies were included.47 completed findings were grouped according to their similarities to form 12 categories.These categories resulted in 4 synthesized findings.Integration results 1:recognizing the positive effects and potential risks of intradialytic exercise.Integration results 2:barriers and facilitators of intradialytic exercise.Integration results 3:needs of intradialytic exercise.Integration results 4:exercise experience on non-dialysis day.Conclusion The experience and needs of maintenance hemodialysis patients should be considered to ensure patient compliance and continuity when exercise programs were designed.

In order to understand the prevalence of Akabane disease(AKAD)in Guizhou Province and the molecular characteristics of the isolates,the whole-genome sequence of a strain of Akabane virus(AKAV)from a bovine AKAD-positive sample was determined and analyzed.The genotype and genetic variation of the strain were also explored.Based on the conserved S sequence,a fluores-cence quantitative PCR(qPCR)detection method was established and applied for the investigation of AKAV infection status in four large-scale beef cattle farms of Guizhou.Results showed that the S,M and L fragments of the bovine strain were highly homologous to the Tianjin strain(TJ2016/China/2016)and the Australian strain(JaLAB39/Australia/1959),where they were in the same evolutionary branch and belonged to genotype Ⅱ.Sensitivity assay found that the lowest detection limit was 2.5 X 101 copies/μL.Specificity assay showed the established method detected only AKAV with no amplification on bovine bluetongue virus(BLUV),Pasteurella multocida(PM),bovine infectious rhinotracheitis virus(IBRV)and bovine Mycoplasma bovis.The variation coefficients of inter-and intra batches in the repeatability test were both lower than 2.26％.These findings illus-trated that the established qPCR method had high sensitivity,good specificity and repeatability.A total of 298 serum samples from 4 large-scale beef cattle farms in Qianxi City and Huangping County of Guizhou Province were collected and tested for AKAV by the method.Out of 298 sam-ples,25 positive samples(25/298)were detected as positive with a positive rate of 8.39％.In sum-mary,this work provided the reference data for a deep understanding of the molecular prevalence of AKAV in Guizhou Province and laid foundation for the prevention and control of AKAD.

OBJECTIVE: Evidence that long-term exposure to ambient air pollution increases mortality among older adults, particularly those residing in low-level air pollution locations, remains scarce. This study investigated the potential links between long-term low-level air pollution exposure and mortality among Chinese older adults. METHODS: A population-based study with 317,464 individuals aged ≥ 65 years was conducted in Shenzhen, China during 2018 and 2020. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between long-term exposure to air pollution and all-cause mortality, as the primary outcome, as well as non-accidental, cancer and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS: Significant associations of PM ₁, PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, SO ₂, CO, and O ₃ exposures with a higher risk of all-cause mortality were found. Adjusted odds ratio ( OR) for each 1 µg/m ³ increment was 1.49 [95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.46, 1.53] for PM ₁, 1.30 (1.27, 1.32) for PM _2.5, 1.05 (1.04, 1.06) for PM ₁₀, 5.84 (5.39, 6.32) for SO ₂, 1.04 (1.04, 1.05) for CO, and 1.02 (1.00, 1.03) for O ₃, respectively. Long-term PM ₁, PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, SO ₂, and CO exposures also elevated the risks of non-accidental, cancer and cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSION Long-term low-level air pollution exposure was associated with an increased mortality risk among Chinese older adults.
