Objective　To analyze the current situation and influencing factors of health-care seeking delay among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Qingpu District of Shanghai from 2011 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis prevention and control. Methods　The data of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Qingpu District of Shanghai from 2011 to 2022 was collected through the China Tuberculosis Information Management System to describe the distribution and change trend of the delay in health-care seeking. Univariate analysiswas performed using the chi-square (χ²) test, and the time trend of rates was tested with the trend chi-square (trend χ²) test. Multivariate logistic regression model analyzed the influencing factors of the delay in health-care seeking. Results　From 2011 to 2022, there were 3 488 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in Qingpu District, with 1 438 patients experiencing health-care seeking delay. The median (quartile) number of days of delay was M (P25, P75) = 10 (2, 24) days, and the rate of health-care seeking delay was 41.23%. The annual rate of health-care seeking delay fluctuated between 33.88% and 50.45% from 2011 to 2022, with statistically significant differences between different years (χ²=38.355, P<0.001), and an upward trend in the health-care seeking delay rate was observed from 2020 to 2022 (χtrend²=13.290, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared to male, those under 25 years old, with local household registration, and detected through health check-ups, females (OR=1.21, 95%CI:1.04-1.41), those aged 45 to <65 (OR=1.36, 95%CI:1.06-1.75), intra-city migrants (OR=1.35, 95%CI:1.09-1.68), inter-provincial/overseas migrants (OR=1.50, 95%CI:1.23-1.83), and patients who directly sought medical care (OR=3.52, 95%CI:2.27-5.47), transfer treatment (OR=2.07,95%CI：1.31-3.25), referral (OR=2.16, 95%CI:1.36-3.44), follow-up (OR=3.07, 95%CI:1.74-5.44) patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were more likely to delay health-care, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared to sputum-positive patients, those with sputum-negative tests (OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.59-0.97) were less likely to experience delayed health-care, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions　Health-care seeking delay of pulmonary tuberculosis patients is relatively common in Qingpu District of Shanghai. Corresponding intervention measures should be adopted for risk factors and key populations to further improve the health-care seeking delay.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of CT-guided drilling,hematoma aspiration and drainage for senile cerebellar hemorrhage.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 89 very old patients(75-89 years old)with cerebellar hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2022.According to their wishes,different surgical treatments were adopted,and thus they were divided into puncture group(42 cases,CT-guided drilling,aspi-ration and drainage for hematoma)and craniotomy group(47 cases,craniotomy).GCS,preopera-tive hematoma volume,length of ICU stay,postoperative complications,mortality rate and the mRS score in 3 months postoperatively in the survival were compared between the 2 groups.Re-sults There were no significant differences in age,male ratio,GCS score,preoperative hematoma volume,recurrence rate at 24 h postoperatively and mortality rate at 3 months postoperatively be-tween 2 groups(P＞0.05).The puncture group had significantly shorter length of ICU stay(7.10±1.43 dvs 8.87±1.39 d,P=0.000)and lower intracranial infection rate(4.76％vs 19.15％,P=0.040)than the craniotomy group.In 3 months of follow-up after surgery,the rate of good mRS score was higher in the puncture group than the craniotomy group,and the mRS score was lower in the former group than the latter one(P＜0.05).Conclusion CT-guided drilling,aspiration and drainage for hematoma can reduce the infection rate and improve the prognosis,and is an effective approach in the treatment of patients over 75 years old with cerebellar hemorrhage.

Objective:To reveal the effect of β-sitosterol on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in rats and whether its mechanism is related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS).Methods:Fifty-three CIRI rats (CIRI models established by modified Longa method) were randomly divided into model group ( n=14), β-sitosterol low-dose group ( n=13), β-sitosterol medium-dose group ( n=13) and β-sitosterol high-dose group ( n=13); 12 rats underwent the same operation without blocking the middle cerebral artery were selected as sham-operated group. Rats in the sham-operated group and model group were given intragastric administration of 1 mL 5 g/L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose daily. Rats in the β-sitosterol low-dose group, β-sitosterol medium-dose group and β-sitosterol high-dose group were given intragastric administration of 1 mL β-sitosterol at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg/d (dissolved in 5 g/L sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), respectively, for 14 consecutive d. Neurological function was evaluated according to Zea Longa 5 method. Rats were sacrificed and brain tissues were collected. Volume of cerebral infarction was measured by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Brain injury and neuronal apoptosis were evaluated by HE staining, Nissl staining and TUNEL. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents were detected by water-soluble tetrazolium 1 (WST-1) method, colorimetric method or thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression levels of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), inositol-requiring enzyme-1 (IRE-1), activated transcription factor-6 (ATF-6), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and Caspase-12 in the brain tissues were detected by qRT-PCR or Western blotting. Results:Compared with the sham-operated group, the model group had significantly increased neurological function score, cerebral infarction volume and TUNEL positive rate, decreased SOD and GSH-Px content, increased MDA content, and increased mRNA and protein expressions of PERK, IRE-1, ATF-6, GRP78, CHOP and Caspase-12 ( P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the β-sitosterol low-dose group, β-sitosterol medium-dose group and β-sitosterol high-dose group had significantly decreased neurological function score, cerebral infarction volume, and TUNEL positive rate, increased SOD and GSH-Px content, and decreased MDA content ( P<0.05); the β-sitosterol low-dose group, β-sitosterol medium-dose group and β-sitosterol high-dose group had significantly decreased mRNA and protein PERK expressions (mRNA: 2.17±0.17, 1.79±0.07 and 1.33±0.07; protein: 5.11±0.52, 2.91±0.26 and 1.98±0.17), IRE-1 expressions (mRNA: 1.75±0.18, 1.65±0.08 and 1.32±0.08; protein: 5.00±0.31, 4.05±0.27 and 1.98±0.14), ATF-6 expressions (mRNA: 2.24±0.12, 1.77±0.14 and 1.37±0.13; protein: 4.93±0.45, 4.04±0.30 and 3.10±0.20), GRP78 expressions (mRNA: 2.67±0.16, 2.11±0.16 and 1.69±0.11; protein: 5.02±0.38, 2.97±0.26 and 2.05±0.22), CHOP expressions (mRNA: 2.01±0.16, 1.70±0.19 and 1.40±0.10; protein: 4.92±0.39, 4.02±0.27 and 3.08±0.22) and Caspase-12 expressions (mRNA: 1.85±0.09, 1.61±0.09 and 1.30±0.09; protein: 3.03±0.20, 2.19±0.11 and 1.82±0.11) compared with the model group (mRNA: 2.99±0.28, 2.27±0.12, 2.57±0.21, 3.46±0.20, 2.50±0.23 and 2.35±0.16; protein: 6.98±0.48, 6.03±0.58, 5.98±0.63, 7.10±0.45, 6.00±0.53 and 5.02±0.43, P<0.05). Conclusion:β-sitosterol attenuates CIRI in rats, whose mechanism may be related to inhibition of ERS signal pathway.

Objective:To investigate the early diagnostic value of human olfactomedin 4 (OLFM-4), signal peptide-CUB-epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing protein 1 (SCUBE-1), and liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) in severe pneumonia complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:A total of 162 patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the Haikou Third People′s Hospital from January 2020 to May 2023 were prospectively selected and divided into an AKI group (54 cases) and a non AKI group (108 cases) based on whether they developed AKI. Among AKI patients, there were 23 cases of AKI stage 1, 18 cases of AKI stage 2, and 13 cases of AKI stage 3. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the changes in urinary OLFM-4, SCUBE-1, and L-FABP levels of patients at 12, 24, and 48 h after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the early diagnostic value of urinary OLFM4, SCUBE-1, and LFABP levels at different time points for AKI in patients with severe pneumonia.Results:There were statistically significant differences in ICU admission time, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, uric acid, serum albumin, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score between the AKI group and the non AKI group (all P<0.05). At 12, 24, and 48 h after admission to the ICU, the urinary OLFM-4, SCUBE-1, and L-FABP levels in the AKI group were significantly higher than those in the non AKI group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The levels of urinary OLFM-4, SCUBE-1, and L-FABP in AKI stage 3 patients were significantly higher than those in AKI stage 1 and AKI stage 2 at all time points after admission to the ICU (all P<0.001), and the highest levels of urinary OLFM-4, SCUBE-1, and L-FABP were observed at the 24 h time point. The combination of 24 h urine OLFM-4 and SCUBE-1 with L-FABP had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for diagnosing severe pneumonia complicated with AKI (AUC=0.964, 95% CI: 0.908-0.997), with a sensitivity of 98.2% and specificity of 88.3%. Pearson correlation analysis showed that urinary OLFM-4 and SCUBE-1 levels in AKI patients were positively correlated with L-FABP ( r=0.870, 0.775, all P<0.001). Conclusions:Urine OLFM-4, SCUBE-1, and L-FABP are significantly elevated in the early stage of severe pneumonia complicated with AKI. The combined detection of these three parameters at 24 h has high value for the early diagnosis of AKI.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Dayuanyin on acute lung injury induced by H1N1 infection and decipher the potential mechanism. MethodThe constituents in Dayuanyin were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry （UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）. Forty-eight female BALB/c mice were randomized into normal， model， oseltamivir （19.5 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.73， 5.46， 10.92 g·kg^-1） Dayuanyin groups. The normal and model groups were administrated with deionized water by gavage， and the other groups were administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage. On day 3 of drug administration， the normal group received nasal inhalation of normal saline， and the other groups were inoculated intranasally with A/RP/8/34 （H1N1） for the modeling of influenza virus infection. Mice were administrated with drugs continuously for 7 days and weighed daily. Sampling was performed 12 h after the last administration， and the lung tissue was weighed to calculate the lung index. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the pathological and morphological changes of the lung tissue and bronchi. The cytometric bead array （CBA） was used to measure the serum levels of interferon-gamma （IFN-γ）， C-X-C motif ligand 1 （CXCL1）， tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， chemokine ligand 2 （CCL2）， interleukin-12p70 （IL-12p70）， chemokine ligand 5 （CCL5）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， chemokine （C-X-C motif） ligand 10 （CXCL10）， granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor （GM-CSF）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， interferon-beta （IFN-β）， interferon-alpha （IFN-α）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6）. According to the results of mass spectrometry and network pharmacology， we analyzed the mechanism of Dayuanyin in treating acute lung injury caused by H1N1. The protein levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 （ERK1/2）， p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）， nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB）， and their phosphorylated forms were determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）， Toll-like receptor 3 （TLR3）， Toll-like receptor 7 （TLR7）， and Toll-like receptor 8 （TLR8） in the lung tissue were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultA total of 57 compounds， including paeoniflorin and baicalein， were detected in Dayuanyin. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed decreased body weight （P<0.01）， lung edema and hemorrhage， increased lung index （P<0.01）， and elevated levels of IFN-γ， IL-12p70， CCL5， IL-1β， CXCL10， GM-CSF， IFN-β， and IL-6 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Dayuanyin attenuated alveolar wall thickening， capillary congestion， and immune cell infiltration， reduced the alterations in body weight and lung index （P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein levels of IFN-γ， IL-12p70， CCL5， IL-1β， CXCL10， GM-CSF， IFN-β， and IL-6 （P<0.01）. A total of 57 key genes were predicted by network pharmacological analysis， of which the MAPK signaling pathway was the main target signaling pathway. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed up-regulation in the protein levels of phosphorylation （p）-ERK1/2， p-p38 MAPK， and p-NF-κB （P<0.01） and the mRNA levels of TLR7， TLR8， MyD88， and TLR3 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Dayuanyin lowered the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2， p38 MAPK， and NF-κB p65 in a dose-dependent manner （P<0.01） and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR3， TLR7， TLR8， and MyD88 （P<0.01）. ConclusionDayuanyin can prevent and control H1N1 infection-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting the TLR/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVES: Shelter hospital was an alternative way to provide large-scale medical isolation and treatment for people with mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to various reasons, patients admitted to the large shelter hospital was reported high level of psychological distress, so did the healthcare workers. This study aims to introduce a comprehensive and multifaceted psychosocial crisis intervention model. METHODS: The psychosocial crisis intervention model was provided to 200 patients and 240 healthcare workers in Wuhan Wuchang shelter hospital. Patient volunteers and organized peer support, client-centered culturally sensitive supportive care, timely delivery of scientific information about COVID-19 and its complications, mental health knowledge acquisition of non-psychiatric healthcare workers, group activities, counseling and education, virtualization of psychological intervention, consultation and liaison were exhibited respectively in the model. Pre-service survey was done in 38 patients and 49 healthcare workers using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire 2-item (PHQ-2) scale, and the Primary Care PTSD screen for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (PC-PTSD-5). Forty-eight healthcare workers gave feedback after the intervention. RESULTS: The psychosocial crisis intervention model was successfully implemented by 10 mental health professionals and was well-accepted by both patients and healthcare workers in the shelter hospital. In pre-service survey, 15.8% of 38 patients were with anxiety, 55.3% were with stress, and 15.8% were with depression; 16.3% of 49 healthcare workers were with anxiety, 26.5% were with stress, and 22.4% were with depression. In post-service survey, 62.5% of 48 healthcare workers thought it was very practical, 37.5% thought more practical; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to relief anxiety and insomnia, and 27.1% thought much helpful; 37.5% of them thought it was very helpful to recognize patients with anxiety and insomnia, and 29.2% thought much helpful; 35.4% of them thought it was very helpful to deal with patients' anxiety and insomnia, and 37.5% thought much helpful. CONCLUSIONS Psychological crisis intervention is feasible, acceptable, and associated with positive outcomes. Future tastings of this model in larger population and different settings are warranted.

Objective:To investigate the application value of multimodal image three-dimensional reconstruction combined with facial nerve tracking in acoustic neuroma surgery.Methods:Forty-five patients with single acoustic neuroma accepted primary surgical treatment at Department of Neurosurgery, Yibin Hospital, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from November 2018 to June 2022 were chosen. The head, skull, brain tissues, arteriovenous system, tumor and facial nerves were reconstructed preoperatively by multimodal three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with facial nerve tracking. Preoperative planning was carried out according to the relationship between tumor and surrounding structures. The accuracy of facial nerve tracking was evaluated by intraoperative microscopic observation and nerve electrophysiological monitoring. House-Brackmann (H-B) criteria was used to evaluate facial nerve functions 2 weeks after surgery. Three months after surgery, all patients underwent enhanced MRI scanning, and combined with intraoperative findings, the degrees of acoustic neuroma resection were determined.Results:The facial nerves and their relations with acoustic neuroma were successfully tracked in all 45 patients; as confirmed by intraoperative microscopy and nerve electrophysiological monitoring, the results of facial nerves and their relations with acoustic neuroma were consistent in 42 patients and inconsistent in 3 patients. Using intraoperative nerve electrophysiological monitoring as gold standard, the accuracy of multimodal image three-dimensional reconstruction of the facial nerves was 93.3%. Preoperative facial nerve tracking results were highly consistent with intraoperative nerve electrophysiological monitoring results (Kappa=0.903, P<0.001). The facial nerves were intraoperatively preserved in 91.1% patients (41/45), and the facial nerve function was good in 86.7% patients (39/45) at 2 weeks after surgery. The total/subtotal resection rate of acoustic neuroma was 88.9% (40/45). No death, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, hematoma, or cerebral infarction were noted during the perioperative period. Conclusion:Multimodal image three-dimensional reconstruction combined with facial nerve tracking can help to protect blood vessels and nerves, improve total resection rate and facial nerve function retention rate in surgery of acoustic neuroma.
