To explore the differences in biological gas production in the waterlogged zone of a coal seam fire-affected area, in this study the in-situ gas production experiment was conducted with the mine water from aquitard layers in coal seam fire zones in Xinjiang. The results showed that the biogas production first increased and then decreased with the increase in distance, and the highest gas production reached 216.55 mL. The changes in key metabolic pathways during the anaerobic fermentation of coal were analyzed, which showed that as the distance from the aquitard layer in the coal seam fire zone increased, the methanogenesis pathways gradually shifted from acetic acid decarboxylation and carbon dioxide reduction to acetic acid decarboxylation and methylamine methanogenesis. The significant variability in the in-situ mine water reservoir conditions contributed to the differences. In addition, the reservoir pressure and temperature increased as the distance from the fire zone became longer, and the salinity of the farthest mine water in the reverse fault was the highest due to the lack of groundwater supply. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant correlations of microbial communities with key functional genes and the types and concentrations of ions. The ions significantly influencing microbial enzymatic metabolic activities included Al³⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺, PO₄^3-, and Mo⁶⁺. The differences in metabolic pathways were attributed to the integrated effects of a co-occurring environment with multiple ions. The gas production simulation experiments and metagenomic analyses provide data support for the practical application of in-situ biogas experiments, laying a foundation for engineering applications.

China has long prioritized the prevention and control of cervical cancer. In 2023, the National Health Commission and nine other departments jointly formulated the "Action Plan for Accelerating the Elimination of Cervical Cancer (2023-2030)". This article reviews the current global and Chinese progress in eliminating cervical cancer and HPV vaccination efforts. It specifically analyzes the problems and challenges faced in improving the HPV vaccination coverage rate among adolescent females in China. The article articulates the public health value of this improvement in achieving the ultimate goal of eliminating cervical cancer. Furthermore, it proposes targeted technical recommendations, including promptly incorporating HPV vaccination among adolescent females into the National Immunization Plan, formulating and continuously improving vaccination strategies and implementation plans, strengthening science popularization and publicity, and enhancing public opinion monitoring and risk management. These recommendations aim to promote health equity and contribute to the goal of eliminating cervical cancer as soon as possible.

The integration of multi-source data and the establishment of early warning indicator systems constitute pivotal elements for advancing surveillance and early warning capacities in respiratory infectious diseases. Given the multifaceted transmission mechanisms and complex contributing factors inherent in respiratory infectious diseases, surveillance datasets and associated early warning indicators demonstrate notable heterogeneity and sophisticated interrelationships. Furthermore, as surveillance and early warning requirements significantly vary across diverse epidemiological scenarios, accurate assessment of the value and applicability of distinct data types and indicators is imperative. This paper systematically reviews and synthesizes recent advancements in surveillance data and early warning indicators for respiratory infectious diseases, drawing on both domestic and international research. Particular attention is dedicated to analyzing the applicability and efficacy of various data types and indicators within multiple practical contexts, aiming to provide robust theoretical frameworks and methodological guidance to facilitate the development of resilient and efficient surveillance and early warning systems for respiratory infectious diseases.

Objective:To investigate the awareness of medical staff on pharmacovigilance and the current situation of the construction of pharmacovigilance system in medical institutions.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire was sent to medical institutions in China through Professional Committee on Pharmacovigilance Research, China Society for Drug Regulation in the form of Wechat, and medical staff participated voluntarily. The contents of the questionnaire included 23 questions in 4 dimensions, including the basic information of the respondents, their understanding of the concept and regulations of pharmacovigilance, the management of pharmacovigilance, and the reporting and feedback of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)/events in their medical institutions. The survey time was from August 18, 2023 to October 18, 2023. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed descriptively.Results:The collected questionnaires were from medical institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, with a total of over 100 questionnaires collected in each region. A total of 10 991 medical staff participated in the survey, including 5 504 pharmacists, 2 120 doctors, and 3 367 nurses. Among them, 10 131 (92.18%) respondents had heard of pharmacovigilance, 4 511 (41.04%) had participated in pharmacovigilance-related works, 9 368 respondents (86.41%) answered that the ADRs monitoring and management system had been established in medical institutions where they worked, 8 186 respondents (75.51%) answered that leading group for pharmacovigilance (including ADRs monitoring) had been set up in the medical institutions where they worked, 8 605 respondents (79.37%) answered that the pharmacovigilance works was managed by special personnel in the institutions where they worked, 7 859 (72.49%) answered that there were liaison officers in the clinical departments where they worked, 6 043 (55.74%) answered that the individuals would be rewarded for reporting ADRs, 4 809 (44.36%) answered that pharmacovigilance had been included in the daily works and assessment indicators of the departments, and 5 351 (49.36%) answered that reports of ADRs were reviewed by special personnel. Active reporting by medical staff was the main collection channel of ADRs, 3 391 (31.28%) answered they had actively captured ADRs from the hospital information system, and 7 728 (71.28%) answered they had reported ADRs through the hospital information system, 10 061 (92.81%) answered that the monitoring results of ADRs would be regularly fed back in the hospitals where they worked, and 6 239 (57.55%) answered that regular training on pharmacovigilance for all medical staff would be provided in the institutions where they worked.Conclusions:Medical staff have generally heard of pharmacovigilance and are aware of the national pharmacovigilance system, but they still have insufficient understanding of the concept and regulations of pharmacovigilance. The degree of participating in pharmacovigilance works of medical staff in different regions are different. The monitoring and management of ADRs could be paid attention to in the most medical institutions, but the degree of improvement of pharmacovigilance system in different levels of medical institutions is different.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma,coactivator 1 beta,PPARGC1B)gene is an intranuclear receptor transcription fac-tor responsible for regulating the expression of target genes.To comprehend the characteristics and mutations of the PPARGC1B gene within the Sichuan yak population,the SNP loci of the PPARGC1B gene were identified through direct sequencing of PCR products.Additionally,the cod-ing region of the PPARGC1B gene was obtained via PCR amplification and sequencing.Bioinforma-tics analyses were conducted to predict protein-coding and mRNA secondary structure.This study identified four exon SNP mutation sites(E9-189A→C,E9-387G→A,E9-542C→T,and E9-554T→C)based on the single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of the PPARGC1B gene in Sichuan yaks.Notably,the E9-387G→A and E9-554T→C loci exhibited significant correlations with shear force and backfat thickness in Sichuan yaks.Subsequently,bioinformatics analysis of the four mutation sites revealed that the PPARGC1B protein is an acidic,unstable,non-transmembrane,and non-secretory hydrophilic protein with a coiled helix structure.It lacks a signal peptide and transmembrane region,predominantly functions in the nucleus,and features 106 phosphorylation sites,one glycosylation site,and one conserved RRM structure.The secondary structure comprises mainly α-helix and random coils.Although the protein structure of the PPARGC1B gene remained unchanged post-mutation,there were significant differences in mRNA secondary structure.These findings suggest that the polymorphic loci of the PPARGC1B gene in Sichuan yaks could serve as a theoretical basis for enhancing meat quality traits through molecular biological methods,presen-ting practical applications in breeding.

Objective:To construct a composite evaluation index of fourth-level surgical, for references for horizontal comparison of fourth-level surgical between clinical departments of hospital and hospital performance appraisal.Methods:The data were extracted from the medical record information system and disease diagnosis related group information system of a tertiary public hospital, including the number of surgical patients, the number of fourth-level surgical patients, the case mix index (CMI), and the average length of hospital stay for 23 surgical departments from 2019 to 2023. Based on disease diagnosis related groups, the average length of hospital stay for patients undergoing fourth-level surgery was standardized to obtain the time cost index; Multiply the CMI and time cost index by the fourth-level surgical ratio to obtain the quality coefficient. This coefficient was used to weight the number of fourth-level surgeries to establish the contribution degree of fourth-level surgeries, which was used for the comprehensive evaluation of fourth-level surgery quality and quantity for each surgical department.Results:A total of 329 177 surgical patients were included in this study, including 139 704 patients with fourth-level surgery. From 2019 to 2023, the top 3 departments in terms of the proportion of fourth-level surgery were department J, B and A, and the proportion of fourth-level surgery in departments with high surgical difficulty, such as C and I, ranked 8th and 16th. The top 3 departments with the contribution degree of fourth-level surgery were department A, B and C, I rosed to the 9th, and J felled to the 11th.Conclusions:The fourth-level surgery contribution degree combined the four factors of surgical composition, difficulty, cost and quantity, which could objectively evaluate fourth-level surgeries in different departments.

Objective To study the changes of blood glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px),superoxide dis-mutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and pathological tissues in the rat contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) model,and to determine the role of oxidation mechanism in CIN.Methods A total of 40 adult male SD rats were selected and divided into three big groups and five small groups.After constructing the model,six rats with good status were taken from each group for conducting the experiment.The serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels were measured,the renal tissue biopsy was performed and the morphological changes of kid-ney cells were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline data among the blank control group,the control group and the experimental group (P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels before model construction,at 24,48 h after model construction between the blank control group and the control group (P>0.05).There were statistical-ly significant differences in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels of the experimental group between before model construction and after model construction (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA level in the experimental group between at 24 h after modelling and 48 h af-ter modeling (P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels at 24 h after modeling among the three groups (P>0.05).There were statistically significant differ-ences in serum GSH-px,SOD and MDA levels at 48 h after modeling among the three groups and their pairs (P<0.05).The pathological sections of the blank control group and control group showed no obvious abnor-mal changes in glomeruli,renal tubule and renal interstitium.Renal interstitial fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were seen after 24 h in the experimental group,but there was no obvious change in the renal tu-bules.After 48 h,moderate focal-like atrophy of renal tubules,epithelial cell granule degeneration and vacuolar changes were obviously seen.Conclusion The oxidative stress mechanism plays a role in CIN.The contrast a-gent acute renal injury mainly acts on the renal tubules and renal interstitium,and there is no obvious damage to the glomeruli.
