Objective:To explore the hypothesis of "pathogen storage pool" by analyzing the local microbial community of adenoids. Methods:Under the guidance of a 70° nasal endoscope, sterile swabs were used to collect secretions from the adenoid crypts of the subjects. The samples were sent to the laboratory for DNA extraction and standard bacterial 16S full-length sequencing analysis. Results:At the species level, the top three microbial communities in adenoid crypts were Bacillus subtilis（18.78%）, Fusobacterium pyogenes（11.42%）, and Streptococcus pneumoniae（9.38%）. Conclusion:The local microbial community of adenoids exhibits a high degree of diversity, including microbial communities from the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract. Our research results support the hypothesis that adenoids act as a " pathogen reservoir".

Medicinal plants， with diverse species， high heterozygosity， and special breeding objectives， can be hardly bred with conventional hybridization techniques. Plant genetic transformation is highly selective and can specifically change the traits of plants， serving as an important technical means for the breeding of medicinal plants. The commonly used plant genetic transformation technologies include Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and particle bombardment. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is the most widely used method， while it is not applicable to all medicinal plants due to the high specificity. Although not specific， particle bombardment is limited in application due to the low conversion efficiency and external force damage to cells and tissue. With the rise and development of nanotechnology， the emerging nanomaterial-mediated transformation has solved the problems of the above two technologies. However， limited by its late development， the mechanism of nanomaterial-mediated introduction of genetic materials into plant cells remains unclear， and thus this technology is rarely used in medicinal plants. This article summarizes the development status of several commonly used or emerging plant genetic transformation technologies such as Agrobacterium-mediated transformation， particle bombardment， and nanomaterial-mediated transformation， as well as their application in different medicinal plants. Furthermore， this article looks forward to the development trend of genetic transformation technologies for plants and their application prospects in medicinal plants and Chinese materia medica resources， aiming to provide new technical ideas for the genetic improvement and germplasm innovation of medicinal plants and inject new impetus into the sustainable development of Chinese materia medica resources.

Objective To explore the efficacy of the"one disease,one product"rehabilitation nursing under the follow-up nursing mode in the postoperative recovery process of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS).Methods A total of 100 CTS patients who were admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2022 to December 2023 were randomly assigned to observation group or control group,with 50 patients in each group.The control group was given a routine postoperative rehabilitation nursing,while the observation group was additionally given the"one disease,one product"rehabilitation nursing under follow-up care.The clinical efficacy,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,quality-of-life score,psychological status score(self-rating depression scale[SDS]and self-rating anxiety scale[SAS]),wrist recovery(grip strength,pinch strength,patient rated wrist evaluation[PRWE]score),and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(98.00%[49/50]vs.86.00%[43/50],P<0.05).After treatment,VAS score,SDS score,and SAS score were decreased,and quality-of-life scores,grip strength,pinch strength,and PRWE score were increased in both groups;VAS score,SDS score,and SAS score in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,while quality-of-life scores,grip strength,pinch strength,and PRWE score in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Patient satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(98.00%[49/50]vs.88.00%[44/50],P<0.05).Conclusion The"one disease,one product"rehabilitation nursing program under the follow-up nursing mode has a better application effect than routine postoperative rehabilitation nursing plan in postoperative nursing of patients with CTS.

Objective:To investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of FCN gene on the susceptibility of pre-eclampsia (PE) in Han nationality pregnant women.Methods:A total of 274 PE pregnant women (PE group) and 154 healthy pregnant women (control group) admitted to Boai Hospital of Zhongshan, Affiliated Hospital to Southern Medical University from October 2020 to October 2022 were collected. The general information, medical history, reproductive history, blood pressure, body mass index and blood biochemical indicators before delivery were compared between the two groups. Twenty-three SNP loci of FCN gene family were genotyped by time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and the serum levels of ficolins (ficolin-1, -2 and -3) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results:(1) Compared with the control group, the body mass index, mean arterial pressure, gestational age at delivery, blood urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, direct bilirubin, albumin, and C-reactive protein in the PE group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), placental growth factor (PlGF) and human soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sFlt-1) were significantly different between the two groups (all P<0.05). (2) Among the 23 SNP loci in FCN gene family, 18 loci were in Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium, including 5 loci in FCN1 gene, 10 loci in FCN2 gene, and 3 loci in FCN3 gene. Five loci that did not conform to Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium were not included in the subsequent analysis. Compared with the control group, the genotype distribution of 3 loci of FCN2 gene (rs7872508, rs11103563, rs73664188) and 1 locus of FCN3 gene (rs3813800) in the PE group were significantly different (all P<0.05). After Bonferroni correction, only the genotype distribution of rs7872508 and rs73664188 in FCN2 gene were statistically different between the PE group and the control group (all P<0.05). Further analysis showed that for the rs7872508 locus of FCN2 gene, compared with GG genotype, genotype GT ( OR=3.025, 95% CI: 1.080-8.471) and TT ( OR=4.777, 95% CI: 1.758-12.979) both significantly increased the risk of PE (both P<0.05). For rs73664188 locus of FCN2 gene, compared with TT genotype, genotype TC ( OR=0.510, 95% CI: 0.334-0.778) significantly reduced the risk of PE ( P<0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the serum levels of ficolin-1 and ficolin-2 in pregnant women in the PE group were significantly reduced (both P<0.05), while the level of ficolin-3 showed no significant change ( P=0.271). Correlation analysis showed that the serum levels of ficolin-2 in pregnant women in the PE group were significantly positively correlated with PlGF level ( r=0.321, P<0.001), and significantly negatively correlated with sFlt-1 level ( r=-0.187, P=0.002) and NT-proBNP level ( r=-0.392, P<0.001). Further analysis revealed that the serum levels of ficolin-2 in pregnant women of the PE group with GT and TT genotypes at rs7872508 locus of FCN2 gene were significantly reduced (both P<0.05), while the serum level of ficolin-2 in pregnant women of the PE group with TC genotype at the rs73664188 locus were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The SNP of FCN2 gene in FCN gene family might be related to the susceptibility to PE and have an effect on serum ficolin-2 level in PE pregnant women.

Objective:To construct a training model for non-psychiatric psychological specialist nurses in general hospitals, providing reference for the selection, training, management, and evaluation of psychological specialist nurses.Methods:From November 2022 to April 2023, a preliminary draft of the training model for non-psychiatric psychological specialist nurses in general hospitals was developed through literature review and semi-structured interviews. From May to July 2023, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultations with 29 experts from seven provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, including Shanxi, Beijing and Anhui, etc. Based on expert opinions, the final training model for non-psychiatric psychological specialist nurses in general hospitals was formed. The enthusiasm of experts was expressed by the questionnaire response rate, the degree of authority was expressed by the expert authority coefficient, and the degree of coordination of expert opinions was expressed by Kendall's coordination coefficient.Results:In two rounds of expert consultations, the questionnaire response rate was 100.00% (29/29) for both rounds, and the expert authority coefficients were 0.884 and 0.916, and Kendall's coordination coefficients were 0.085-0.203 and 0.084-0.228 (all P<0.05). The final training model for non-psychiatric psychological specialist nurses in general hospitals included five primary indicators of training objectives, training content, training methods, training process, and training evaluation, 22 secondary indicators, and 92 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The training model for non-psychiatric psychological specialist nurses in general hospitals constructed is scientific and practical, and has guiding significance for the selection, training, assessment and evaluation of psychological specialist nurses in China.

Objective To explore the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions(NPIs)on the prevalence of respiratory pathogens in adults,and to understand the scientific value and long-term effect of NPIs.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to collect the clinical data and laboratory examination data of adult patients with respiratory tract infection in West China Hospital,Sichuan University from 2017 to 2023,and the patho-gen,population,season and other aspects were analyzed in different periods.The analysis period included 2017 to 2019(before the implementation of NPIs),2020 to 2022(during the implementation of NPIs),and January to December 2023(after the implementation of NPIs).Results A total of 33 068 adult patients with respira-tory tract infection were included.The overall prevalence of 8 adult respiratory pathogens from 2017 to 2019(26.95％)was higher than that from 2020 to 2022(8.70％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the prevalence of pathogens among different genders,ages and seasons in the first,middle and last three periods of NPIs implementation(P＜0.05).Before the imple-mentation of NPIs,the seasonal peak of respiratory prevalence appeared from January to March each year.With the implementation of NPIs,the seasonal peak of respiratory prevalence appeared from January to March 2020(10.09％),October to December 2021(9.32％),July to September 2022(15.23％),respectively.After the implementation of NPIs,the seasonal peak of respiratory prevalence appeared from October to December 2023(21.20％).Among the 8 pathogens,the change of prevalence of influenza A virus H1N1(2009)was the most obvious,and the prevalence was 17.42％,0.00％and 6.99％before,during and after the implementation of NPIs,respectively.Conclusion Due to the influence of NPIs and other factors,the epidemic characteristics of respiratory pathogens have changed from 2017 to 2023.Attention to the emerging characteristics of patho-gen prevalence is important for the prevention,diagnosis and control of respiratory infectious diseases during public health emergencies.

Objective: To establish a rat model of preeclampsia (PE) in early pregnancy and to observe the changes in phenotype，pregnancy outcome and cognitive ability of offspring． Methods : The pregnant rats were randomly divided into model group and control group．Ultra-low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0. 5 μg / kg) and an equal volume of normal saline were injected into the tail vein of pregnant rats on the fifth day of pregnancy．The levels of blood pressure ，12-hour urinary protein ，peripheral blood coagulation factors and placental cytokines in the two groups were measured．Furthermore，placental pathology，pregnancy outcomes，and cognitive abilities of offspring were observed. Results: Blood pressure and urinary protein levels of model group were significantly higher than those of control group levels．Compared with the control group，the levels of platelet and antithrombin Ⅲ (AT Ⅲ) in the peripheral blood of pregnant rats in the model group were lower than those in the control group，while D-dimer was higher than that in the control group，the weight of the fetus and placenta in the model group decreased (P ＜0. 001) ，the expression levels of interleukin ( IL) -6，tumor necrosis factor α ( TNF-α) and interferon gamma (INF-γ) in peripheral blood increased，while the expression level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) decreased(P＜0. 001) ．The water maze test showed that the latency of the offspring of the model group to the plat- form was longer than that of the control group (P＜0. 05) ，while the frequency of crossing the platform quadrant and the time of staying in the platform quadrant of the model group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0. 05 ) ．HE and PAS staining showed that there were infiltration of inflammatory cells in the basal layer of placenta， obvious decrease of blood vessels in labyrinthine area，slight edema of renal interstitium and degeneration of local renal tubular epithelial cells in the model group，while there were no above pathological changes in placenta and kidney in the control group． Conclusion A single injection of LPS in early pregnancy can successfully induce PE- related symptoms and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as fetal growth restriction and lead to the decline of cogni- tive ability of offspring.

Objective:The study aims to explore the abnormal characteristics in cerebral cortex among children with different subtypes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:Four hundred and twelve samples were obtained from the Healthy Brain Network project of American Child Mind Institute. There were 288 children with ADHD (all subjects: age,M=10.03,SD=3.11; 151 of ADHD-C, 20 of ADHD-H, and 117 of ADHD-I) and 124 healthy controls (age,M=9.98,SD=2.98). Using FreeSurfer software, we processed the brain structure images and obtained the cortical volume, cortical thickness and surface area for each subject. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and post hoc comparison analyses were conducted.Results:ANOVA analysis showed significant differences of the cortical volume located in the left superior parietal gyrus ( Z=5.94) and superior temporal gyrus ( Z=5.49) among the 3 subtypes of ADHD children and the healthy controls (Monte Carlo, P<0.05). Compared with the healthy controls, ADHD-H group exhibited an increased cortical volume in the left superior parietal gyrus ( Z=6.79), while the ADHD-I group had a decreased volume in the left superior temporal gyrus ( Z=-5.12) and lateral occipital cortex ( Z=-6.40). ADHD-C group also had a decreased volume in the left lateral occipital cortex ( Z=-3.37). Among 3 subtypes of ADHD patients, both ADHD-I and ADHD-C groups had a smaller volume in the left superior parietal gyrus than that of the ADHD-H group (ADHD-I: Z=-7.33,MNI coordinate:x=-26.8,y=-60.6,z=45.4; ADHD-C: Z=-7.14,MNI coordinate:x=-26.6,y=-60.2,z=45.4). Additionally, there was no statistical difference in cortical volume between the ADHD-I and ADHD-C group (Monte Carlo, P>0.05). Subsequent supplementary analyses showed that the sample size and age had no significant effect on the above results. Moreover, analysis of cortical thickness and the surface area showed that the abnormality of the cortical volume in different ADHD subtypes was mainly determined by the surface area of the cerebral cortex. Conclusion:Cortical measures in the superior parietal gyrus might be the crucial features that distinguishes the different subtypes of ADHD. These results enable us to further explore the neurodevelopmental mechanism of ADHD and guide the precise and specific clinical treatment.
