Objective:To investigate the utilization of inpatient service and influencing factors among pneumoconiosis patients in Chongqing within one year, and to provide a reference basis for the formulation of relevant policies by health management departments.Methods:From October 2020 to October 2023, a multi-stage cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 2002 patients with confirmed pneumoconiosis as the research subjects. A questionnaire survey was conducted on their basic information, inpatient service utilization within one year, treatment for pneumoconiosis-related symptoms, and choice of medical service institutions. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.Results:All 2002 pneumoconiosis patients were male, with 40.16% (804/2002) aged 46-55 years old, and 83.32% (1668/2002) currently residing in rural areas. The monthly income of the patients was 833 (167, 2000) yuan, and 22.03% (441/2002) had no income. 30.97% (620/2002) of the patients spent more than 5001 yuan per year on treatment for pneumoconiosis, and 14.64% (293/2002) had debts of more than 5001 yuan. 42.06% (842/2002) had no work-related injury insurance. 21.68% (434/2002) of the patients self-assessed their health status as very poor or poor. The one-year inpatient rate of the patients was 51.25% (1026/2002), and the total inpatient time within one year was 18 (10, 51) days. The inpatient expenses were 6000 (1000, 16625) yuan. Through univariate analysis, the one-year inpatient rates of pneumoconiosis patients were statistically significantly different among different age groups, current employment status, annual household income levels, types of pneumoconiosis, stages of pneumoconiosis, presence or absence of work-related injury insurance, whether receiving minimum living allowances and social assistance related to pneumoconiosis, and different segments of self-assessed health status ( P<0.05). Patients with stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis, those who received social assistance and minimum living allowances related to pneumoconiosis had higher one-year inpatient rates ( P<0.05), with OR values of 3.893, 1.859, and 2.589, respectively. Conclusion:The utilization of inpatient service by pneumoconiosis patients is influenced by demographic characteristics, social support, and disease factors. It is necessary to enhance the occupational disease diagnosis and treatment capabilities of primary health institutions, build a multi-level social support network, and ensure that patients can conveniently access medical services.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) may result from various risk factors including genetic, epigenetic, and environmental elements. The parallel and synchronous development of the placenta and fetal heart establishes a regulatory relationship known as the placenta-heart axis. Placental insufficiency may impact fetal cardiac development, while abnormal cardiac development can conversely disrupt placental structure and function. This review examines the association between placental abnormalities and CHD, providing insights into the etiology and underlying mechanisms of CHD.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza， and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter， prospective， non-randomized， parallel， controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals， including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness （ILI） cases were collected， and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention， they were assigned to the observation group （108 cases） or the control group （108 cases）. Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score scale for influenza， influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate， influenza hospitalization rate， and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled， with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes： （1） Incidence of ILI： The incidence was 12.0% （13/108） in the observation group and 23.1% （25/108） in the control group， with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence （χ²=4.6， P<0.05）. （2） Influenza confirmation rate： 3.7% （4/108） in the observation group and 4.6% （5/108） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes： （1） TCM symptom score scale： after onset， nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups （P<0.05）， while other symptoms such as fever， sore throat， and cough showed no significant differences. （2） Influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate： 84.6% （11 cases） in the observation group and 96.0% （24 cases） in the control group， with no significant difference. （3） Time to onset after exposure： The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions， Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

Objective:To investigate renal impairment and ferroptosis due to severe blast injuries and related mechanism.Methods:The goats were placed 3 meters away from the center of an 8 kg TNT-equivalent explosive to carry out blast injury experiments.The physical parameters of blast waves were measured,and the pathological severity of blast injuries was graded and scored to assess the severity of injuries.Vital signs,blood gas parameters,and renal function markers were measured before injury and at 1,3,6,and 24 hours after injury.Renal tissue samples were collected at 24 hours after injury to prepare tissue sections,which were used to perform HE staining and measure the changes in the content of Fe2+and the expression of the ferroptosis-related marker proteins xCT and GPX4 in renal tissue,and Prussian blue staining was performed for renal tissue sections to investigate the mechanism associated with renal impairment and ferroptosis of renal cells.Results:Severe blast injuries accounted for the highest proportion of 47.2%in experi-mental goats,while mild,moderate,severe,and extremely severe injuries accounted for 2.8%,36.1%,47.2%,and 13.9%,respectively,and the pathologic severity score of blast injury was 2.56±0.15.For the goats after blast injury,there were significant increases in heart rate(F=12.750,P<0.01)and respiratory rate(F=6.500,P<0.01)and significant reductions in anal temperature(F=3.496,P<0.05),partial pressure of blood oxygen(F=24.630,P<0.01),and blood oxygen saturation(F=18.560,P<0.01),as well as significant increases in the levels of blood uric acid(F=22.320,P<0.01),serum creatinine(F=15.350,P<0.01),and blood urea nitrogen(F=22.310,P<0.01).Compared with the control group,swelling of renal tubular epithelial cells and narrowing of tubular lumen were observed at 24 hours after blast injury,with a significant increase in the content of Fe2+in renal tissue(t=5.933,P<0.01),significant reductions in the relative expression protein levels of GPX4(t=7.924,P<0.01)and xCT(t=4.483,P<0.01)in renal tissue,and deposi-tion of a large amount of iron ions in renal tubular epithelial cells.Conclusion:Experimental goats placed 3 meters away from the cen-ter of an 8 kg TNT-equivalent explosive can cause severe blast inju-ries,resulting in the onset of hypoxia,renal impairment,and ferrop-tosis of renal tubular epithelial cells.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of respiratory pathogens in China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study, which encompassed 19 core units of the clinical pathogen network and established a three-tiered clinical pathogen surveillance system. Thirty respiratory samples were collected every two weeks from various units from January to December 2024, and the clinical and pathogen diagnostic information were gathered. A total of 11 864 samples were tested using this system. The tier-1 clinical pathogen surveillance system covered influenza A virus (Flu-A), influenza B virus (Flu-B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The tier-2 clinical pathogen surveillance system focused on 18 key respiratory pathogens. The tier-3 clinical pathogen surveillance system further clarified whether any emerging infectious diseases had occurred.Results:The tier-1 clinical pathogen surveillance system showed Flu-A predominated in December, Flu-B predominated in January, SARS-CoV-2 peaked in March and August, whereas RSV circulated sporadically throughout the year. Geographic trends were broadly consistent across the seven major regions, although Flu-A detection in December was notably higher in Northeast China (48.1%(111/231)) and East China (36.2%(148/409)), and RSV detection was concentrated in the Northwest and South China from January to March. Data from the tier-2 clinical pathogen surveillance system indicated that Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, rhinovirus, and adenovirus were detected year-round, of these, Streptococcus pneumoniae and rhinovirus showed elevated positive detection rates from August to September, while adenovirus peaked in January. Legionella pneumophila was not detected throughout the year, and other pathogens fluctuated throughout the year without a consistent pattern. The predominant etiologic agents of pediatric pneumonia were Mycoplasma pneumoniae (35.0%(105/300)), rhinovirus (25.7%(77/300)), and adenovirus (17.3%(52/300)), whereas adult pneumonia was mainly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (10.5%(29/277)), Staphylococcus aureus (6.9%(19/277)), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (6.9%(19/277)), and Flu-A (6.1%(17/277)). The tier-3 clinical pathogen surveillance system did not identify any emerging respiratory pathogens. Conclusion:Respiratory pathogens in China in 2024 exhibit distinct temporal and spatial distribution patterns and vary among different populations.

Objective:It aims to build a scientific and reasonable occupational safety and health risk assessment index system for chemical enterprises, and provide theoretical guidance and scientific basis for the systematic identification, quantification and prevention and control of occupational safety and healthrisk in chemical enterprises.Methods:February 2024, based on relevant literature, national and industry standards as the theoretical foundation, Broussonetia papyrifera established an occupational safety and health risk assessment indicator system for chemical enterprises. Twenty-three experts in occupational health and related fields were invited to score the importance of the indicators; Broussonetia papyrifera constructed an AHP model to calculate the individual expert indicator weights and test matrix consistency, applied the systematic clustering method to allocate expert weights, and employed the weighted average method of weight vectors to calculate the expert group indicator weights.Results:The index system includes 5 first-level indicators, 15 second-level indicators and 42 third-level indicators.A total of 22 experts participated in the questionnaire survey, and the degree of expert activity was 96.5% (22/23), and the mean authority coefficient was 0.88, the questionnaire Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.954. The top three are production facilities, equipment and process technology (0.3694), occupational harmful factors (0.2381) and occupational health management (0.1486). Its subordinate secondary index production technology, production facilities and equipment, chemical harmful factors and tertiary indicators of raw materials selection, process technology, equipment quality and safety weight is also higher than other indicators of the same level.Conclusion:Based on the AHP model and systematic cluster analysis, the occupational safety and health risk assessment index system established for Broussonetia papyrifera chemical enterprises is scientifically reasonable and can provide reference for corporate risk assessment.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is an age-related neurodegenerative disease that mainly manifests clinically as progressive functional impairments in cognition,memory,and language.With the accelerated transition toward an older population in China,the number of people suffering from AD in China is increasing.The exact pathogenesis of AD remains unclear,with current therapeutic strategies mainly limited to symptomatic treatments.Animal models are important tools for preclinical research,enabling explorations of molecular mechanisms,behavioral functions,and treatment strategies of diseases.Future mechanistic research and drug development of AD should involve the establishment of animal models that are consistent with clinical pathological characteristics.This review summarizes the AD animal models commonly used in research,providing details on the strains,age,modeling method and doses.It also discusses research on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)components and their pharmacodynamic mechanisms in related AD animal models,aiming to provide references for the development of new animal models and in-depth exploration of the specific pharmacological activities,targets,metabolic pathways,and clinical applications of each TCM component.
