Objective To analyze the serological survey results of Changsha City in 2016 and 2024, and to investigate the short-term impact of adjusting the immunization program with two doses of mumps containing vaccine on the mumps antibody levels of healthy individuals in Changsha City. Methods Using the relevant data and samples from the mumps serological surveys conducted in 2016 and 2024, serum mumps IgG antibodies were quantitatively detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results from these two surveys were analyzed and compared using SPSS 25.0 software. Results The survey included 1 512 participants in 2016 and 1 398 in 2024. In 2024, both the seropositivity rate and IgG antibody levels against mumps in the healthy population were significantly higher than those in 2016 (all P<0.01). Specifically, the seropositivity rates and IgG antibody levels in the age groups of 8–17 months, 18 months–2 years, 3–4 years, and 5–9 years were significantly higher in 2024 compared to 2016 (all P < 0.001). However, among the participants in 2024, the 15–19 years age group showed relatively low seropositivity rate and IgG antibody levels. Conclusion Following the adjustment of the two-dose MuCV immunization strategy, the mumps IgG antibody levels among children aged 8 months to 9 years in Changsha have increased. It is necessary to continue implementing the routine two-dose MuCV vaccination strategy and to explore the necessity of strengthening and supplementing immunization for key groups, including the high-risk 5–9-year-old population and the immunologically vulnerable 15–19-year-old population.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Chaihu anxin capsules in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression, analyze the influencing factors of its efficacy, construct a nomogram prediction model.METHODS Patients with mild-to-moderate depression treated at The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 1, 2023 to March 10, 2025 were retrospectively included and categorized into Chaihu anxin capsules group and milnacipran group according to treatment regimen. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance baseline characteristics, and treatment efficacy was compared after 8 weeks, including 24 Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) scores and changes, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores and changes, and treatment response rate after 8 weeks of treatment. Patients receiving Chaihu anxin capsules were further classified as responders or non-responders based on the occurrence of treatment response. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the influencing factors of treatment response, and a nomogram model was constructed to predict the probability of treatment response, its predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.RESULTS A total of 297 patients were included before PSM, including 196 patients in the Chaihu anxin capsules group and 101 patients in the milnacipran group. After PSM, each group included 44 patients. After PSM, the HAMD-24 scores and HAMA scores at 8 weeks after treatment in the Chaihu anxin capsules group, as well as the HAMD-24 scores in the milnacipran group, were significantly lower than their respective baseline values ( P <0.05); the change in HAMA score in the Chaihu anxin capsules group was significantly greater than that in the milnacipran group ( P =0.04). Multivariable Logistic regression identified age, total bilirubin, and baseline HAMD-24 score as independent predictors of treatment response ( P <0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the constructed nomogram prediction model was 0.72 (95% confidence interval: 0.637-0.799), and the corrected Brier score was 0.143 (95% confidence interval: 0.112-0.176); compared with the “all intervention” and “all non intervention” strategies, applying this nomogram prediction model could achieve higher net benefits within the threshold probability range of 8% to 37%.CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of Chaihu anxin capsules in improving mild-to-moderate depression is comparable to that of milnacipran, and it has certain advantages in improving anxiety symptoms; age, total bilirubin, and baseline HAMD-24 score are independent influencing factors for the treatment response of Chaihu anxin capsules. The nomogram prediction model constructed based on these factors has good discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability.

Objective:
To determine the main components of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge (A. membranaceus, Huang Qi), Astragaloside IV (AIV) and Astragalus polysaccharides (AP), to characterize their properties, evaluate their in vivo efficacy, and to analyze drug diffusion using dissolving microneedle (DMN) technology in vivo.
Methods:
Respectively, AIV- and AP-loaded DMNs comprising chitosan (CTS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared via dual-mold forming. Their morphology, mechanical properties, in vivo solubility, and skin irritation characteristics were tested. In vivo efficacy was assessed in cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice, in vivo diffusion of AIV and AP by DMNs and conventional methods was compared, and the rheological properties of AIV-CTS-PVA and AP-CTS-PVA mixtures were measured.
Results:
Subcutaneous dissolution and absorption of AIV-CTS-PVA and AP-CTS-PVA microneedles (MNs) at low doses (50%–17% of intraperitoneal AIV injection and 12%–4% of intravenous AP injection) reduced the spleen index and acid phosphatase activity in immunosuppressed mouse models, increased the thymus index, and achieved equivalent or better systemic therapeutic effects. Compared with injections, AIV and AP achieved controllable solid-liquid conversion through delivery with CTS-PVA MNs, resulting in highly localized aggregation within 48 h, reducing the initial explosive effect of the drug, and achieving stable and slow drug release.
Conclusion
The present study enhances our understanding of the efficacy and remote effects of drug-loaded DMNs from a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective, thereby promoting the development of precise and efficient delivery of TCM and further expanding the drug-loading range and application scenarios for DMNs.

Objective To assess the value of serum amyloid A(SAA)in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic pulmonary diseases. Methods Seventy AECOPD patients were randomly chosen. The AECOPD patients were divided into bacterial infection induced group and non-bacterial infection induced group by sputum bacteria culture. Thirty five SCOPD patients were chosen as control group. General data was collected. Lung function ,chest X ray,blood routine,CRP,SAA,IL6 and PCT were deteced and compared in the 3 groups. The diagnostic value of SAA to distinguish bacterial infection induced AECOPD was estimated. Results SAA of both AECOPD sub-groups were significantly higher than that of healthy controls. SAA in infection group is higher that that in exacerba-tion group. In terms of ROC curve,AUC was 0.8682 for SAA to distinguish merging bacterial infection,and the cut-off value was 72.10 mg/L with sensitivity of 94.29% and specificity of 65.71%. Conclusion SAA increases in AECOPD patients,and more obviously in AECOPD patients with bacterial infection. SAA may be used as a reliable biomarker not only to distinguish AECOPD patients from SCOPD patients ,but also distinguish merging bacterial infection during AECOPD.

Control group, Isatidis Radix group,Trametes robiniophila Murr group, andTrametes robiniophila Murr and Isatidis Radix group were included in the experiment. The effects ofTrametes robiniophila Murr and Isatidis Radix bidirectional fermentation products on MCF-7 cell proliferation were measured by MTT method. Cell scratch assay, transwell assay and adhesion assay were used to measure the effects ofTrametes robiniophila Murrand Isatidis Radix bidirectional fermentation products on the migration, invasion and adhesion capability of MCF-7 cells, respectively. The effects ofTrametes robiniophila Murrand Isatidis Radix bidirectional fermentation products on the mRNA expression of MMP-9 and Vimentin were measured by RT-PCR.Results Compared with Isatidis Radix group andTrametes robiniophila Murrgroup, Trametes robiniophila Murr and Isatidis Radix bidirectional fermentation products could significantly inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and adhesion capability of MCF-7 cells (P<0.05). Similarly,Trametes robiniophila Murr and Isatidis Radix bidirectional fermentation products reduced the mRNA expression of MMP-9 and Vimentin (P<0.05).ConclusionTrametes robiniophila Murrand Isatidis Radix bidirectional fermentation products may down-regulate the expression of MMP-9 and Vimentin to inhibit the migration, invasion and adhesion capabilities of MCF-7 cells.
