To address the current issues of data imbalance and scarcity in photoplethysmography (PPG) data for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prediction, this study proposes an improved conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty (CWGAN-GP). The algorithm integrated gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks and self-attention mechanisms to construct a generator, aiming to produce high-quality PPG signals. Various data augmentation methods, including the improved CWGAN-GP, were employed to expand the PPG dataset, and multiple classifiers were applied for T2DM prediction analysis. Experimental results showed that the model trained on data generated by the improved CWGAN-GP achieved the optimal prediction performance. The highest accuracy reached 0.895 0, and compared with other data enhancement methods, this approach exhibited significant advantages in terms of precision and F1-score. The generated data notably enhances the accuracy and generalization ability of T2DM prediction models, providing a more reliable technical basis for non-invasive early T2DM screening based on PPG signals.

In recent years, prone mechanical ventilation has been widely used to improve oxygenation dysfunction in critically ill patients. During prone mechanical ventilation, the patient's face is compressed for a long time, and due to the difficulty in changing, facial pressure injuries and ocular complications are common and severe. These complications increase patient discomfort, reduce their tolerance and compliance with prone ventilation, and even cause tracheal tube displacement or dislodgement, leading to significant clinical challenges. In order to change this situation, the medical staff of the department of critical care medicine of the Second People's Hospital of Hengshui and the department of critical care medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital had developed an adjustable facial support pad for prone ventilation, and obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2022 2 3295294.4). The device is composed of a facial support platform, a supporting telescopic foot frame and so on. There are front, back, left and right adjustable tracks below the support cushion platform, which can be adjusted to the best state suitable for the patient's face shape, which can alleviate the facial pressure injuries and ocular complications caused by the different sizes of each patient's face, improve the patient's comfort, and reduce the incidence of facial pressure injury and the occurrence of ocular complications of the patient. The height of the platform is adjusted by the telescopic feet, and there is a hook assembly below, which can be fixed by the clamp of the ventilator tubing, so as to prevent the ventilator tubing from pulling the endotracheal intubation due to the gravity of condensation, resulting in the displacement or even prolapse of the tracheal intubation, and reducing the occurrence of adverse events of tracheal intubation. It is worth promoting in the clinic.

Acute lung injury （ALI） is a common and highly lethal clinical syndrome characterized by acute progressive respiratory failure. Currently， the treatment of ALI primarily involves respiratory support therapy and symptomatic pharmacotherapy， yet there is still a lack of specific and effective pharmacological treatments. Qingwen Baidu decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine formula that has the effects of clearing heat， removing toxin， cooling blood， and purging fire. Its pharmacological effects include anti-inflammatory， antipyretic， antibacterial， antiviral， sedative， and so on. The flavonoids， phenols， terpenes， and other components contained in this formula have strong pharmacological activity， which can regulate the inflammatory response caused and oxidative stress in ALI and maintain the integrity of alveolar-capillary barrier （ACB） by anti-apoptosis， anti-pathogen infection， and anti-pulmonary fibrosis， thereby improving the pathological changes of lung tissue. Among them， flavonoids have been reported more， and their mechanism of action is complex and diverse. For example， quercetin， luteolin， and baicalin act on multiple important targets， such as signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 （MAPK3）， etc. and participate in the regulation of Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation primary response 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB）， nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2（Nrf2）/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）， and silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1）/forkhead box protein O1 （FoxO1） signaling pathways， thereby intervening in pathological events such as inflammation， oxidative stress， cell apoptosis， and fibrosis. This paper aims to review the research progress on Qingwen Baidu decoction and its active ingredients in the prevention and treatment of lung injury in the expectation of providing reference for its subsequent pharmacological mechanism research and theoretical support for its clinical application and drug development in the treatment of ALI.

Objective:To investigate the role of microRNA-25-5p (miR-25-5p) in melanogenesis, and to explore its underlying mechanisms.Methods:Target genes of miR-25-5p were predicted using the TargetScan database. The interaction between miR-25-5p and the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of the RAB11B gene (a member of RAS oncogene family) was validated through a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) models were established in female C57BL/6J mice (6 - 8 weeks old) and female brown guinea pigs (4 - 6 weeks old) through daily broadband ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation on the dorsal skin of the mouse ear or shaved dorsal skin of guinea pigs, while untreated mice and untreated dorsal skin areas of guinea pigs served as control groups. During modeling, these experimental animals received intradermal injections of a miR-25-5p agomir or a miR control agomir. Changes in skin pigmentation were observed, and skin tissue samples were harvested for further analysis after modeling. Melanin content in skin tissues was evaluated using Masson-Fontana staining. Expression of RAB11B and tyrosinase (TYR) in skin tissues was determined using immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Primary human melanocytes were isolated from discarded normal foreskin tissues of healthy males after circumcision. Both primary human melanocytes and human MNT1 melanoma cells were transfected with miR-25-5p mimics or miR control mimics. Relative expression levels of miR-25-5p and RAB11B mRNA were quantified by qPCR using the 2 -ΔΔCt calculation method. In MNT1 cells, miR-25-5p and RAB11B were co-overexpressed to assess their effect on the mRNA expression of RAB11B and TYR. Statistical analysis was conducted using t test or one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test for multiple comparisons. Results:The bioinformatic prediction and dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed a binding site for miR-25-5p in the 3′ UTR of the RAB11B gene. In both animal models, the treatment with the miR-25-5p agomir significantly reduced local skin pigmentation compared to the control groups; Masson-Fontana staining showed a marked decrease in the density of melanin granules in the epidermis and dermis in the miR-25-5p agomir groups compared with the miR control agomir groups (mice: 0.050 ± 0.005 vs. 0.087 ± 0.008; guinea pigs: 0.067 ± 0.015 vs. 0.110 ± 0.013; both P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining revealed significantly lower expression of RAB11B in mouse skin tissues in the miR-25-5p agomir group than in those in the miR control agomir group (both P < 0.05). qPCR revealed significantly lower mRNA expression of RAB11B and TYR in skin tissues of guinea pigs in the miR-25-5p agomir group than in those in the miR control agomir group (both P < 0.05). Similarly, RAB11B mRNA expression significantly decreased in the miR-25-5p mimics group compared with the miR control mimics group in primary human melanocytes and MNT1 cells (both P < 0.05). In human MNT1 melanoma cells, miR-25-5p overexpression could suppress TYR mRNA expression, whereas co-overexpression of miR-25-5p and RAB11B could reverse this suppression. Conclusion:Overexpression of miR-25-5p could alleviate UVB-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and inhibit melanogenesis, likely by targeted suppression of RAB11B expression.

The “Technical Guideline for Epidemic Prevention and Control Disinfection in Large-Scale Events”(hereinafter referred to as “the Guideline”), organized and compiled by the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration, was officially released in April 2024. This guideline aims to ensure the effective implementation of large-scale group activities, mitigate the impact of infectious disease outbreaks on such events, and maintain hygiene and safety standards at event venues. During the compilation process, data were systematically collected in alignment with epidemic prevention requirements and disinfection principles, incorporating research findings from domestic and international disinfection practices. Information was gathered through field investigations, expert consultations in epidemiology and disinfection, and roundtable discussions with representatives from organizations responsible for disinfection operations at large-scale events, thereby ensuring the scientific rigor and practical applicability of the content. The Guideline provides comprehensive technical disinfection guidance for relevant authorities and event organizers, addressing critical aspects such as disinfection protocols, operational principles, emergency response strategies, and technical specifications. By standardizing hygiene assurance measures for large-scale events, including considerations of participant demographics, venue characteristics, and event scale, the guideline establishes a framework to proactively minimize the risk of infectious disease transmission.

Objective To explore the correlation between the pulmonary artery diameter(PAD),PAD/aortic diameter(AOD),right ventricular diameter(RVD),RVD/left ventricular diameter(LVD)measured on pulmonary artery CT angiography(CTPA)cross-sectional images and the degree of embolism,cardiac biomarkers in patients with medium-to-high risk acute pulmonary embolism(APE).Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with medium-to-high risk APE,who received interventional treatment at the Putian Municipal First Hospital of China From January 2021 to December 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The PAD,PAD/AOD,RVD,and RVD/LVD were measured on CTPA cross-sectional images.The correlations of the above indexes with CT embolism index(CTEI),N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),and cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ)were analyzed.Results A weak-moderate positive correlation existed between PAD,RVD,RVD/LVD and CTEI(r=0.506,r=0.310,r=0.452 respectively,P＜0.001,P=0.024,P=0.001 respectively),while no correlation existed between PAD/AOD and CTEI(r=0.247,P=0.075).Compared with the NT-proBNP negative group,in the NT-proBNP positive group the values of PAD,PAD/AOD and RVD/LVD were higher(all P＜0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in RVD value between the two groups(P＞0.05).A weak-moderate positive correlation existed between NT-proBNP and PAD,PAD/AOD,RVD,RVD/LVD(r=0.454,r=0.326,r=0.302,r=0.405 respectively,P=0.001,P=0.017,P=0.028,P=0.003 respectively).There were no statistically significant differences in PAD,PAD/AOD,RVD and RVD/LVD values between the cTnⅠ negative group and the cTnI positive group(all P＞0.05).No correlation existed between cTnⅠ and PAD,PAD/AOD,RVD,RVD/LVD(r=0.188,r=0.042,r=-0.021,r=0.139 respectively,and P=0.195,P=0.772,P=0.884,P=0.342 respectively).Conclusion CTPA cross-sectional quantitative indicators are helpful in evaluating the embolism degree of APE and right heart function,but it cannot be used to assess myocardial injury.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of causes of death among residents in Chuzhou City of Anhui Province from 2019 to 2022,in order to provide evidence for formulating disease prevention and control strategies.Methods:The death data of residents in Chuzhou City from 2019 to 2022 were obtained from the cause of death surveillance system of Chuzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Anhui Province.The crude death rate,composition ratio of cause of death and the rank of cause of death were analyzed.The annual percent change(APC)of mortality was calculated by using the Joinpoint regression model to describe the average annual change of mortality.Results:From 2019 to 2022,the average annual crude mortality of permanent residents in Chuzhou City was 668.80/100 000,and the crude mortality rate(/100 000)was 640.58,652.10,659.32,and 723.46,respectively(APC=3.10%,P=0.356).The annual crude mortality of males(735.93/100 000)was higher than that of females(598.52/100 000)(χ2=1 148.724,P＜0.01).The top three causes of death were malignant tumor,cerebrovascular disease,and cardiovascular disease.The mortality of malignant tumors showed a decreasing trend(APC=-1.51%,P＜0.01),and the top three causes of death of malignant tumors were lung cancer,gastric cancer and liver cancer.Among the age groups,congenital malformations and deformations,chromosomal abnormalities,and certain conditions originating in the perinatal period were the leading causes of death among residents aged 0 to 4 years old.Accidental injuries were the first cause of death among residents aged 5 to 14 years old.The leading cause of death among residents in the 15-44 and 45-64 age groups was malignant tumor.Cerebrovascular disease was the leading cause of death in≥65 years old.The mortality of accidental injuries showed an increasing trend(APC=1.64%,P＜0.01),and the specific types of death causes of accidental injuries were different among different age groups.Conclusion:Chronic non-communicable diseases,especially cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,are the main health threats to the residents of Chuzhou City of Anhui Province,and feasible prevention and control measures should be formulated.

AIM:To evaluate the safety and toler-ability of single dose oral BTK inhibitor YZJ-3058 tablets under fasting conditions in healthy adults,as well as the pharmacokinetic and pharmacologi-cal characteristics of YZJ-3058 and its metabolites.METHODS:A total of 22 healthy subjects were en-rolled in this experiment and administered a single dose orally.They were divided into three groups:50 mg,100 mg,and 200 mg.Among them,2 sub-jects were enrolled in the 50 mg dose group,and 10 subjects were enrolled in the 100 mg and 200 mg dose groups,respectively.RESULTS:In healthy subjects,YZJ-3058 tablets were administered orally on an empty stomach at doses of 50,100,and 200 mg,with a median Tmax of 1.25 to 2.00 hours and an average Cmax of 62.85,89.44,and 99.20 ng/mL,re-spectively.The average AUC0-t was 183.87,297.72,and 453.98 h·ng-1·mL,respectively.The average AUC0-∞ was 189.30,321.33,and 551.44 h·ng-1·mL,and the median t1/2 was 1.16,5.06,and 7.97 hours,respectively.After a single oral administration of 50,100,and 200 mg YZJ-3058 tablets,the highest target occupancy rate was achieved at 4 hours.The average BTK occupancy rates at 24 hours after ad-ministration were 88.95％,96.73％,and 99.24％,re-spectively.The average BTK occupancy rates at 48 hours after administration were 75.65％,89.80％,and 96.68％,respectively.No serious adverse events or adverse events leading to withdrawal oc-curred,and all subjects had good tolerability.CON-CLUSION:YZJ-3058 tablets have good safety and tolerability for single oral administration on an empty stomach in healthy subjects within the dose range of 50-200 mg.Cmax and AUC increase with dose,with fast absorption and saturation.The ter-minal elimination rate gradually slows down with dose increase,and it has a significant and sus-tained occupying effect on BTK targets.
