Objective: To analyze the health literacy possession rate and its trend among residents in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for improving health promotion strategies and intervention measures. Methods: Multi-stage stratified random sampling combined with probability proportionate to size sampling method was adopted to select permanent residents aged 15-69 years in Lishui City as survey subjects. Demographic information and health literacy possession status were collected through questionnaire survey. The health literacy possession rate was calculated. The data from 2016 to 2019 and from 2020 to 2024 were standardized using the population data of Lishui City from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010 and the Seventh National Population Census in 2020, respectively. The trend of health literacy possession rate from 2016 to 2024 was analyzed. Results: A total of 42 691 people were surveyed, including 20 509 males (48.04%) and 22 182 females (51.96%), with an average age of (51.63±12.13) years. From 2016 to 2024, the health literacy possession rates were 20.40%, 25.83%, 26.96%, 28.82%, 32.30%, 34.02%, 37.53%, 39.21% and 43.17%, respectively, showing an upward trend (P<0.05). Among the three aspects, the possession rates of basic knowledge and concepts, healthy lifestyle and behaviors, and basic skills all showed upward trends (all P<0.05), with basic knowledge and concepts showing the largest increase and basic skills showing the smallest increase. Among the six health issues, the possession rates of scientific health view, chronic disease prevention and control, safety and first aid, basic medical care, and health information showed upward trends, while the infectious disease prevention and control literacy possession rate showed a downward trend (all P<0.05). The possession rates in the 65-69 age group, illiterate/semi-literate residents, and farmers showed upward trends (all P<0.05), but with small increases and remaining at low levels. Conclusions From 2016 to 2024, the health literacy possession rate of residents in Lishui City showed an overall upward trend, but the increase in basic skills literacy possession rate was relatively slow, and the infectious disease prevention and control literacy possession rate showed a downward trend. It is necessary to strengthen health education for weak links and knowledge among elderly people, residents with low educational level, and farmers to improve health literacy level.

Ulcerative colitis（UC） is a chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the colonic mucosa and submucosa， and its complex pathogenesis involves immune abnormality， oxidative stress and other factors. The nuclear transcription factor E₂-related factor 2（Nrf2）， encoded by the Nfe212 gene， plays a central role in antioxidant responses. It not only activates various antioxidant response elements such as heme oxygenase-1（HO-1） and quinone oxidoreductase 1（NQO1）， but also enhances the activity of glutathione-S-transferase（GST） and superoxide dismutase 1（SOD1）， effectively eliminating reactive oxygen species（ROS） accumulated in the body， and mitigating oxidative stress-induced damage to intestinal mucosa. In addition， Nrf2 can reduce the release of inflammatory factors and infiltration of immune cells by regulating immune response， cell apoptosis and autophagy pathways， thereby alleviating intestinal inflammation and promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged mucosa. Based on this， this paper reviews the research progress of Chinese materia medica in the prevention and treatment of UC by modulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. It deeply explores the physiological role of Nrf2， the molecular mechanism of activation， the protective effect in the pathological process of UC， and how active ingredients in Chinese materia medica regulate the Nrf2 signaling pathway through multiple pathways to exert their potential mechanisms. These studies have revealed in depth that Chinese materia medica can effectively combat oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. It can also play a role in anti-inflammatory， promoting autophagy， inhibiting apoptosis， protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier， and promoting intestinal mucosal repair， providing new ideas and methods for the multi-faceted treatment of UC.

Objective Inflammation and fibrosis are key features of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Triptolide(TP)exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties,though its mechanisms of action in DN remain unclear.CREKA(Cys-Arg-Glu-Lys-Ala)is a pentapeptide that specifically binds to fibronectin(FN),and the CREKA-modified liposome(CREKA-Lip)represents a novel FN-targeted drug delivery system.This study aimed to investigate the role of TP in diabetic db/db mice and determine whether encapsulation within CREKA-Lip enhances therapeutic efficacy while reducing the multi-organ toxicity of TP.Methods Eight-week-old diabetic db/db mice received tail vein injections twice weekly with vehicle,free TP,or CREKA-Lip/TP for 10 weeks.Urine and serum parameters were measured,and kidney,heart,liver,and testis tissues were collected for pathological evaluation.Protein-protein interaction networks were constructed using Cytoscape and its plug-ins to identify core targets and elucidate the therapeutic mechanism of TP against DN.Inflammatory,fibrotic,apoptotic,and lipid metabolism markers were evaluated in the kidneys of diabetic mice with DN and in high glucose-treated mouse mesangial cells and podocytes using qPCR,Western blot,immunohistochemistry,and immunofluorescence assays.Results TP administration reduced fasting blood glucose levels and glomerular mesangial expansion in diabetic mice.TP significantly suppressed renal inflammation,fibrosis,and apoptosis while enhancing lipid metabolism.Integration of network pharmacology,molecular docking,and transcriptomics revealed that TP ameliorated DN by inhibiting the JAK2-STAT1 signaling pathway.In vitro,TP inhibited high glucose-induced phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT1,reduced collagen production in mesangial cells,decreased apoptosis,and improved lipid metabolism in podocytes.Moreover,CREKA-Lip/TP exhibited superior efficacy compared with free TP,with a more sustained reduction in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and greater inhibition of mesangial expansion.Notably,CREKA-Lip/TP treatment did not induce systemic toxicity.Conclusion TP improves renal inflammation,fibrosis,apoptosis,and lipid homeostasis,thereby ameliorating DN by inhibiting JAK2-STAT1 activation.Targeted delivery of TP via FN-binding CREKA-Lip enhances therapeutic efficacy while minimizing multi-organ toxicity.

Objective To analyze the current status of recurrent abortion and contraceptive con-dition among nulliparous adolescent females.Methods Data on abortion and contraception were col-lected from nulliparous adolescent females aged 15 to 24 years who had at least one history of induced or medical abortion and still requested induced or medical abortion for the current pregnancy between July 2019 and June 2024.The influencing factors of recurrent abortion were analyzed.Results The study included 3,081 cases of non-recurrent abortion(including 1,983 induced abortions,1,098 medical abortions)and 804 cases of recurrent abortion(including 475 induced abortions,329 medi-cal abortions)among nulliparous adolescent females.Statistically significant differences were ob-served between recurrent and non-recurrent abortion groups in terms of age composition,marital sta-tus,household registration,and educational level(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that nulliparous adolescent females aged ≤19 years(OR=1.21,95％CI,0.93 to 1.73),with high school education or below(OR=2.13,95％CI,1.77 to 2.82),unmarried(OR=1.92,95％CI,1.25 to 2.64),and non-local household registration(OR=2.68,95％CI,2.19 to 3.63)had an increased risk of recurrent abortion.Among nulliparous adolescent females,the proportion of those who did not use contraception was 62.8％(505/804)among those with a history of repeated abor-tions,which was significantly higher than that among those without a history of repeated abortions[28.1％(865/3,081),P＜0.001].Although there was no statistically significant difference in the pro-portion of those using specific contraceptive methods between the two groups(P＞0.05),the proportion of those using contraception among those with a history of repeated abortions was 37.2％(299/804),which was significantly lower than that among those without a history of repeated abortions[71.9％(2,216/3,081),P＜0.001].Only 0.3％of those with a history of repeated abortions used in-trauterine devices as a contraceptive method.Conclusion Young age,low educational level,being unmarried,and non-local household registration are high-risk factors for recurrent abortion among nulliparous adolescent females.Failure to use contraception or use of ineffective contraceptive meth-ods is the main reason for recurrent induced abortion.Strengthening post-abortion care by medical staff and promoting contraceptive knowledge education and efficient contraceptive methods among ad-olescent females are of great significance in reducing the rate of recurrent induced abortion.

Objective To develop an active monitoring model for adverse drug events(ADEs)related to antimicrobial use in children based on the China hospital pharmacovigilance system(CHPS).Methods Trigger items for the active monitoring model were initially drafted through a review of relevant literature,adverse reaction databases,and drug label warnings,and subsequently refined using the Delphi method.A retrospective analysis was performed on pediatric inpatients who received antibiotics at Anning First People's Hospital between January 1 and December 31,2024.The detection rate and positive predictive value(PPV)of the active monitoring model were calculated and compared with spontaneous ADE reports from the same period.Risk factors for ADEs were further analyzed using logistic regression.Results 25 trigger items were established for the active monitoring model.Among 1,784 cases,233 ADEs were identified,yielding a detection rate of 13.06%(233/1,784).The spontaneous reporting rate of adverse events during the same period was 1.85%(33/1,784).The difference between the two was statistically significant(P<0.001).There were 727 positive trigger events,with 299 cases of ADE detected,resulting in an overall PPV of 41.13%(299/727).Logistic regression revealed that antibiotic use exceeding 3 days(OR=1.454,95%CI:1.012-2.088)was significantly associated with ADE occurrence.Conclusion Compared with conventional spontaneous reporting,the active monitoring model can significantly improve the detection rate of ADEs of pediatric antimicrobial drugs and achieve active and real-time monitoring of drug adverse events.

Objective:To observe the effect of moxibustion on angiogenesis-related indicators in knee joint synovial tissue of adjuvant arthritis model rats,and to explore the mechanism of moxibustion in inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)expression in synovial tissue and further limiting the activation of Rho family proteins Rac1 and Cdc42,thereby inhibiting angiogenesis during rheumatoid arthritis(RA)treatment.Methods:Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into a normal group,a model group,a moxibustion group,and a moxibustion+VEGF agonist group according to the random principle.The complete Freund's adjuvant method was used for modeling.On the 12th day after modeling,the moxibustion group and the moxibustion+VEGF agonist group were subjected to suspended moxibustion at bilateral Zusanli(ST36),Guanyuan(CV4),and Ashi points for 20 min each time,once a day,for a total of 15 times.The moxibustion+VEGF agonist group received VEGF agonist(tirofiban hydrochloride hydrate)injection in the knee joint cavity at the same time.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes of rat synovial tissue in each group.Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the CD31 expression level in rat synovial tissue.Western blotting was used to detect the levels of VEGF,Rac1,and Cdc42 protein in rat synovial tissue,and polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detect the VEGF mRNA expression.Results:Compared to the normal group,the expression levels of CD31 protein and VEGF mRNA and protein in rat synovial tissue in the model group increased significantly(P<0.01),and the expression levels of phospho-Rac1 and phospho-Cdc42 proteins also increased significantly(P<0.01).After moxibustion intervention,the expression levels of CD31 protein and VEGF mRNA and protein in the moxibustion group were significantly lower than those in the model group(P<0.01),while the differences in each indicator between the moxibustion+VEGF agonist group and the model group were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Compared to the moxibustion group,the expression levels of CD31 protein,VEGF mRNA and protein,phospho-Cdc42,and phospho-Rac1 in the moxibustion+VEGF agonist group increased significantly(P<0.01).Conclusion:Moxibustion improved synovial inflammation in RA by inhibiting angiogenesis.The mechanism may be to regulate angiogenesis-related VEGF,restrict the activation of Rac1 and Cdc42,and inhibit pseudopodia formation in vascular endothelial cells,thereby reducing angiogenesis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of mild moxibustion on transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1(TRPV1)channel expression in primary dysmenorrhea(PD)rats and explore its mechanism in alleviating central pain sensitization.Methods:Thirty-two female non-pregnant Wistar rats were randomized into a blank group,a model group,a mild moxibustion group,and a capsazepine group,with 8 rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the other three groups used estradiol benzoate,ice-water bath,and oxytocin to establish the rat PD model of cold-dampness stagnation pattern.The interventions began on day 1 of modeling,once a day,and lasted 10 d.The mild moxibustion group received mild moxibustion at Shenque(CV8)and Guanyuan(CV4),20 min/time;in the capsazepine group,capsazepine was injected at a dose of 2 mg/(kg·bw).The abdominal pain threshold was measured 10-30 min after oxytocin injection on day 11;enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α)level;the expression of TRPV1,cluster of differentiation 11B(CD11B),and proto-oncogene c-Fos in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting.Results:Compared to the blank group,the model group showed a decreased pain threshold(P<0.05)and an increased serum PGF2α level with elevated TRPV1,CD11B,and c-Fos protein expression in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus(P<0.05).Compared to the model group,both the mild moxibustion group and capsazepine group showed significantly increased pain thresholds(P<0.05),along with decreased serum PGF2α levels and reduced protein expression levels of TRPV1,CD11B,and c-Fos in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus(P<0.05).Rat pain threshold in the capsazepine group was higher than that in the mild moxibustion group(P<0.05).Serum PGF2α level,the expression levels of CD11B and c-Fos proteins in the spinal dorsal horn,as well as TRPV1,CD11B,and c-Fos proteins in the hypothalamus of the capsazepine group were lower than those in the mild moxibustion group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Mild moxibustion at Shenque(CV8)and Guanyuan(CV4)may alleviate the central pain sensitization in PD rats by down-regulating TRPV1 channel expression in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus,thus playing an analgesic effect.

Objective:To explore the correlation between smoking behavior of employees in heavy industry enterprises and risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was adopted. A questionnaire survey and physical examination data collection were conducted on employees of a heavy industry enterprise in Shaanxi Province using a cluster sampling method from March to April 2024. A total of 2 209 cases met the inclusion criteria. According to the smoking index (SI), participants were divided into a non-smoking group (SI=0, 1 316 cases), a low smoking group (SI400, 656 cases), and a high smoking group (SI≥400, 237 cases). According to the fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) score, participants were divided into a non-dependence group (FTND=0, 1 316 cases), a mild dependence group (FTND=1-3, 623 cases), a moderate dependence group (FTND=4-6, 204 cases), and a severe dependence group (FTND≥7, 66 cases). Spearman rank correlation, univariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to compare differences in blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, homocysteine, and body mass index among the groups.Results:As the SI and FTND scores increased, blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, and homocysteine all showed an increasing trend, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol showed a decreasing trend (all P0.05). The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, serum uric acid, and homocysteine in the high smoking group were higher than those in the non-smoking group [(124.93±16.55) vs (122.32±16.62) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (80.86±11.10) vs (76.18±11.63) mmHg, 5.58 vs 5.29 mmol/L, (3.13±0.65) vs (2.95±0.56) mmol/L, 1.70 vs 1.09 mmol/L, (336.80±69.94) vs (299.00±86.43) μmol/L, 14.20 vs 11.76 μmol/L, all P0.001], the high-smoking group had lower HDL cholesterol than the non-smoking group [(1.34±0.30) vs (1.39±0.27) mmol/L, P0.001], the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, serum uric acid, and homocysteine in the severely dependent group were higher than those in the non-dependent group [(132.09±16.69 )vs (122.32±16.62) mmHg, (81.32±12.97) vs (76.18±11.63) mmHg, 5.61 vs 5.29 mmol/L, (4.98±0.91 )vs (4.70±0.88) mmol/L, (3.19±0.62) vs (2.95±0.56) mmol/L, 1.87 vs 1.09 mmol/L, (328.95±75.21) vs (299.03±86.43) μmol/L, 14.38 vs 11.76 μmol/L, all P0.05], and the high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the severely dependent group was lower than that in the non-dependent group [(1.32±0.30) vs (1.39±0.27) mmol/L, P0.001]. Multivariate analysis showed that SI and degree of tobacco dependence (DTD), were significantly correlated with fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol, but the effect size of SI was too small ( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001, P=0.002, OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.001-1.002, P0.001, OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001, P=0.032). Conclusions:Smoking behavior among employees in heavy industry enterprises is significantly correlated with risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The degree of tobacco dependence is closely related to the risk of abnormal fasting blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of crisaborole ointment 2% versus pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged 2 years or older.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 120 pediatric patients aged 2 - 17 years with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were enrolled from departments of dermatology of 8 hospitals in China between March 2022 and February 2023. The participants were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio to the crisaborole group and the pimecrolimus group, and received the treatment with crisaborole ointment 2% and pimecrolimus cream 1% respectively, twice a day for 4 weeks. Visits were scheduled at baseline/on day 1, as well as on days 8, 15, and 29. The primary efficacy outcome was the percentage of patients achieving the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) success (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale, combined with ≥ 2‐grade improvement from baseline) on day 29. The secondary efficacy outcomes included changes in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) total scores from baseline to day 29, percentages of patients achieving ISGA improvement (defined as clear [0] or almost clear [1] on the ISGA scale), as well as changes in the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) /Infants' Dermatology Life Quality Index (IDLQI) /Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) scores, and in the Dermatitis Family Impact (DFI) scores. Drug safety was evaluated according to the incidence of adverse events. Categorical data were compared using the chi-square test. Since measurement data did not follow a normal distribution, the rank sum test was used for comparisons of measurement data between groups.Results:A total of 106 children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis were included in the per-protocol analysis set, with 52 in the crisaborole group (26 males and 26 females) and 54 in the pimecrolimus group (27 males and 27 females). There were no significant differences in age, disease duration, ISGA and EASI scores at baseline between the two groups (all P > 0.05). On day 29, 22 patients (42.31%) in the crisaborole group and 25 (46.30%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA success, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.17, P = 0.68) ; 35 patients (67.31%) in the crisaborole group and 45 (83.33%) in the pimecrolimus group achieved ISGA improvement, also with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 3.68, P = 0.06) ; additionally, there were no significant differences in the EASI, pruritus NRS, DLQI/IDLQI/CDLQI, or DFI scores between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Adverse reactions to the two topical agents were mainly local reactions such as mild to moderate pain, itching, or worsening of itching, and no obvious systemic adverse reactions occurred. The incidence of drug-related adverse reactions was 46.15% (24 cases) in the crisaborole group and 37.04% (20 cases) in the pimecrolimus group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.91, P = 0.34) . Conclusion:The efficacy of crisaborole ointment 2% was comparable to that of pimecrolimus cream 1% in the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in children aged ≥ 2 years, and it yielded early and rapid improvement in the quality of life of patients and their families, with good safety and tolerability profiles.

Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of occupational stress, job burnout and sleep quality among workers in the secondary industry in Jinshan District, Shanghai City. Methods A total of 1 418 workers from six key industries in Jinshan District, Shanghai City were selected as the study subjects by the stratified cluster sampling method. The Occupational Stress Core Scale, Maslash Burnout Inventory General Survey and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to investigate occupational stress, job burnout and sleep quality of the workers. Results The detection rates of occupational stress, job burnout and sleep disturbance among the study subjects were 33.6%, 65.4% and 23.3%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the workers with a monthly income <5 000 yuan had a higher risk of occupational stress than those with a monthly income ≥5 000 yuan (P<0.01). The workers with ≥5.0 years of service had a higher risk than those with <1.0 year (P<0.05). Lack of physical exercise, employment in medium- and large-sized enterprises, and shift work were risk factors of occupational stress in the workers (all P<0.01). The workers aged 18-<30 years had a higher risk of job burnout than those aged 45-<60 years (P<0.05). The workers monthly income <5 000 yuan was associated with a higher risk of job burnout than those with ≥9 000 yuan (P<0.05). The workers with 1.0-<10.0 years or ≥15.0 years of service had higher job burnout risks than those with <1.0 year (all P<0.05). Being unmarried, lack of physical exercise, and employment in medium- and large-sized enterprises were risk factor of job burnout in the workers (all P<0.05). The workers with an educational level of high school or above had a higher risk of sleep disturbance than those with junior school or below (P<0.05). The workers who work >56 hours per week had a higher risk than those working ≤40 hours per week (P<0.01). Conclusion There is a high detection rate of occupational stress, job burnout, and sleep disturbance in the secondary industry workers in Jinshan District, Shanghai City. Special attention should be given to workers with low income, lack of physical exercise, employment in medium- and large-sized enterprises, shift work, long service duration, and long weekly working hours to protect their physical and mental health.
