Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of genital herpes in China from 2010 to 2023 and provide evidence for the prevention and control of genital herpes.Methods:The reported data of genital herpes cases in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China from 2010 to 2023 were collected from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System of China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Software Joinpoint 5.2.0 was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of genital herpes, software ArcGIS 10.5 was used for spatial autocorrelation analysis, and software SaTScan 10.2.3 was used for spatiotemporal scanning analysis.Results:The reported incidence rate of genital herpes increased from 1.58/100 000 to 2.00/100 000 in China from 2010 to 2023, with an average annual percentage change of 0.90%. The upward trend of reported incidence rate was significant ( t=2.35, P=0.037). There was a positive spatial autocorrelation in the reported incidence of genital herpes with the global Moran's I ranging from 0.36 to 0.51 (all P<0.001). Local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the number of hotspots increased from 144 in 2010 to 232 in 2023, mainly distributed in provinces Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing and Hunan. The number of hotspots in of Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou increased significantly from 7 to 57. A total of 67 spatiotemporal clusters were detected by spatiotemporal scanning analysis, mainly distributed in Guangdong from 2011 to 2015, in Zhejiang and Fujian from 2015 to 2019, and in Chongqing and Guizhou from 2019 to 2023. Conclusions:From 2010 to 2023, the reported incidence of genital herpes in China showed an upward trend, and there was an obvious spatiotemporal clustering of genital herpes. The distribution of hotspots was basically consistent with the distribution of spatiotemporal clustering areas, mainly distributed in the southeastern coastal area and southwestern region, and the spatiotemporal clustering areas gradually changed from the southeast coastal area to the southwest region.

Objective:To investigate and evaluate the correct cognition and influencing factors of mpox expertise among relevant Chinese clinicians and to provide a reference for prevention and control.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among clinicians in relevant departments using a structured questionnaire compiled by ourselves through a non-random network recruitment method. The content includes demography, clinical specialties, and characteristics of medical institutions, and 37 questions to evaluate the professional cognition of mpox etiology, clinical characteristics, transmission, prevention, and control. Using the modified Bloom's cutoff point to determine the correct answer is greater than or equal to 26 entitled correct cognition. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the correct cognition rate.Results:A total of 4 332 clinicians in 23 provinces (autonomous regions, municipality) in China were investigated by online questionnaires and 4 276 effective questionnaires were collected, with an effective rate of 98.71%. The mean age of the respondents was (39.46±9.54) years old, 61.18% were female. The overall correct cognition rate of mpox expertise was 62.04% (95% CI: 60.59%-63.50%), the correct cognition rates of mpox etiology, clinical characteristics, transmission, prevention and control were 48.25% (95% CI: 46.68%-49.82%), 78.66% (95% CI: 77.38%-79.95%), 68.56% (95% CI: 67.10%-70.02%), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the relevant factors affecting the overall correct cognition of mpox expertise among Chinese clinicians included gender (female: OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.31-1.80), region (eastern region: OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.18-1.79; midwestern region: OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.49), professional title (deputy senior: OR=1.43, 95% CI:1.16-1.76; senior: OR=1.72, 95% CI:1.30-2.28), the clinical field (the clinical fields of dermatology and venereal diseases: OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.42-2.23). Conclusions:The overall correct cognition rate of mpox expertise among relevant Chinese clinicians was low. It was essential to conduct mpox knowledge training for clinicians in males, northeast regions, junior professional title and the clinical fields other than dermatology and venereal diseases to improve their correct cognition rates and epidemic prevention and control ability.

The precise and rapid monitoring of multiple organ dysfunction is crucial in drug discovery. Traditional methods, such as pathological analysis, are often time-consuming and inefficient. Here, we developed a multiplexed near-infrared window two (NIR-II) fluorescent bioimaging method that allows for real-time, rapid, and quantitative assessment of multiple organ dysfunctions. Given that existing probes did not fully meet requirements, we synthesized a range of NIR-II hemicyanine dyes (HDs) with varying absorption and emission wavelengths. By modifying these dyes, we achieved high spatial and temporal resolution imaging of the liver, kidneys, stomach, and intestines. This method was further applied to investigate disorders induced by cisplatin, a drug known to cause gastric emptying issues along with liver and kidney injuries. By monitoring the metabolic rate of the dyes in these organs, we accurately quantified multi-organ dysfunction, which was also confirmed by gold-standard pathological analysis. Additionally, we evaluated the effects of five aristolochic acids (AAs) on multiple organ dysfunction. For the first time, we identified that AA-I and AA-II could cause gastric emptying disorders, which was further validated through transcriptomics analysis. Our study introduces a novel approach for the simultaneous monitoring of multi-organ dysfunction, which may significantly enhance the evaluation of drug side effects.

Objective To investigate the longitudinal relationship between sleep duration(SD)and positive youth development(PYD)among primary and secondary school students in Chengdu city using a cross-lagged model,and to provide scientific evidence for enhancing sleep management practices for students.Methods A total of 4061 students of grades 3 through 9 from the Chengdu Child Positive Development Cohort were included in this three-wave longitudinal study.There was a one-year interval between one survey and the following round of survey,and the time points for the baseline,12-month follow-up,and 24-month follow-up surveys were designated T0,T1,and T2.The PYD of the participants was assessed using the Chinese version of the Positive Youth Development Scale.The demographic data and the average daily SD over the past month were collected.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to examine the associations between SD and PYD,and a cross-lagged model was used to investigate the longitudinal relationship between them.Results The average daily SD for the 3 rounds of surveys conducted at T0,T1,and T2 was 9.00(8.04,10.00)hours,10.44(9.67,11.11)hours,and 10.39(9.83,11.00)hours,respectively,while the PYD scores were 5.30(4.73,5.71),5.27(4.73,5.73),and 5.39(4.89,5.77),respectively.Statistical significance was found in the differences of SD and PYD scores across the 3 rounds(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed synchronous correlations between SD and PYD at all three time points(r=0.10 at T0,r=0.18 at T1,and r=0.21 at T2,P＜0.05)and significant lagged correlations(e.g.,r=0.10 for T1-PYD and T2-SD,and likewise,significant correlation was found for the 3 other cross-lagged paths).The cross-lagged model demonstrated that PYD at T0 and T1 positively predicted SD at T1 and T2,respectively(β0-1=0.116[95％CI,0.083-0.150],β1-2=0.097(95％CI,0.067-0.127),P＜0.05),and that SD at T0 and T1 also positively predicted PYD at T1 and T2(β0-1=0.028[95％CI,0-0.056],β1-2=0.042[95％CI,0.010-0.074],P＜0.05).According to these findings,a bidirectional predictive relationship between SD and PYD across different time points was observed in primary and secondary school students.Furthermore,PYD demonstrated better performance for predicting SD than SD did for PYD.Subgroup analysis by sex confirmed the robustness of the predictive power of PYD for SD.Conclusion This study reveals a positive bidirectional predictive relationship between SD and PYD among primary and secondary school students,suggesting that higher levels of PYD may contribute to adequate sleep.These findings provide critical scientific evidence for schools and families to strengthen sleep management and promote the holistic development and well-being of adolescents.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of hypertonic dextrose injection(prolotherapy)at retrodiscal tissue in the treatment of chronic joint pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD).Methods:From June 2012 to March 2022,244 patients(aged 16 to 75 years)underwent the treatment were included and classified according to DC/TMD.The treatment started from an anesthetic in-jection of 2％lidocaine(1.5-2 mL)into the retrodiscal tissue.The patients were then instructed to perform mandibular condylar exercise for 5-10 min,prior to the therapeutic injection of 50％dextrose(1-1.5 mL)by using the same method.Assessment of TMJ pain and jaw function was performed at 2 weeks,2,6 and 12 months after injection.Results:By March 2022,221 cases completed the final sur-vey(the rate of loss of follow-up was 9.4％),the average follow-up time was(75.7±25.1)months.2 weeks after treatment,there was significant relief of joint pain,and mandibular function was significantly improved in most patients by 2 month after treatment.Of these,186 cases achieved profound pain relief and faily normal jaw function,17 cases with recurrence of joint pain and jaw dysfunction and op-ted for occlusal splint treatment due to fear of injection,16 cases claimed no obvious therapeutic effect but rejected any further tratment,2 cases subsequently accepted TMJ surgery.There was no worsening of TMD or other complication as a result of the treatment.Conclu-sion:Hypertonic dextrose injection in retrodiscal tissue attachment is straightforward,safe and effective in the treatment of chronic joint pain and TMD.

Objective To observe the effects of folic acid(FA)supplementation on the expression of Flotillin-1 and β-amyloid protein(Aβ)-metabolism-related proteins in the brains of inflammation-stimulated Alzheimer's disease(AD)mice.Methods Twenty-seven 6-month-old male APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into AD,AD+LPS,and AD+LPS+FA groups,with nine mice in each group.Nine C57BL/6J male mice born within the same month were used as the Control group.The AD+LPS+FA group was given folic-acid-supplemented feed(8 mg/kg)for 3 months of intervention,while the other three groups were fed normal feed.Lipopolysaccharide solution(LPS,250 μg/(kg·d))was injected intraperitoneally into mice in the AD+LPS and AD+LPS+FA groups 1 week before the end of the experiment,and saline was injected into the remaining two groups.The serum inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 levels and brain tissue Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 levels of mice in each group were detected by ELISA.Flotillin-1 protein expression in brain tissue was detected using Western blot,and the co-expression of Flotillin-1 and Aβ1-42/APP/PS1/BACE1 in the cortical region of the brain was detected via immunofluorescence double-labeling.Results After ANOVA analysis,we found mice in the AD group had elevated serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels(P＜0.05),elevated levels of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42(P＜0.05),increased expression of Flotillin-1 protein(P＜0.05),and increased co-expression of Flotillin-1 and Aβ1-42/APP/PS1/BACE1 in the cortical brain tissue(P＜0.05)compared with the Control group.Compared with mice in the AD group,those in the AD+LPS group had further increases in serum inflammatory factors and Aβ levels in the brain(P＜0.05)and increased co-expression of Flotillin-1 and Aβ1-42/APP/BACE1 double-labeled proteins in their cortical brain tissue(P＜0.05).Compared with mice in the AD+LPS group,those in the AD+LPS+FA group had lower in vivo inflammation levels and Aβ content in the brain(P＜0.05),lower brain tissue Flotillin-1 protein expression(P＜0.05),and lower Flotillin-1 and Aβ1-42/APP/PS1/BACE1 protein co-expression in cortical brain tissue(P＜0.05).Conclusions Folic acid supplementation may reduce Flotillin-1 protein expression and Aβ deposition in the brain of AD inflammatory mice.
