ObjectiveThis study aims to conduct a 28-day oral toxicity test to observe the subacute toxic effects of Ganoderma lucidum spore oil in rats, elucidate its impacts on physiological indicators in rats, and provide a scientific basis for the safety evaluation of this substance. MethodsEighty 4-week-old specific pathogen-free (SPF) SD rats were randomly divided into a control group and three dose groups: low-dose (0.83 g/kg), medium-dose (1.67 g/kg), and high-dose (3.33 g/kg), with 10 males and 10 females in each group. The experimental groups were given Ganoderma lucidum spore oil by gavage at the corresponding doses, while the control group was given the same volume of edible corn oil. Administration lasted for 28 consecutive days, during which the rats had free access to food and water. The general condition of the rats was observed, and body weight, food intake, and food utilization rate were measured. After the treatment period, urine was collected from rats in each group for routine urinalysis. Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta under anesthesia induced by intraperitoneal administration of Zoletil 50 (5 mg/kg) and xylazine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg) for complete blood count, coagulation testing, and serum biochemical analyses. Gross necropsy was performed in all rats. Organs were excised and weighed, organ coefficients of major organs were calculated, and histopathological examinations of major organs were conducted in the control and high-dose groups. ResultsDuring the entire experimental period, all rats in the control and the three dose groups thrived without any mortality. No abnormal behaviors or clinical signs were observed in any of the groups. In the serum biochemistry, a statistically significant increase (P<0.05) in total protein was found in the high-dose female group compared with the control group. However, there was no dose-response relationship, and the values remained within the normal range of historical data in our laboratory; therefore, the increase was considered not biologically significant. Rats in the remaining groups showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05) in complete blood count, serum biochemical parameters, coagulation parameters, urinalysis parameters, or organ coefficients compared with the control group. Histopathological examination revealed no significant abnormalities. ConclusionThe results indicate that Ganoderma lucidum spore oil does not exhibit significant subacute toxicity in SD rats at the tested dose levels.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between cumulative atherogenic index of plasma （cumAIP） and the risk of new-onset nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） in young and middle-aged individuals. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted among the young and middle-aged individuals （aged 18 to <60 years） in the Kailuan study cohort who underwent physical examination in Kailuan General Hospital and its 10 affiliated hospitals in June 2006 to October 2010， and after screening based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria， 33 987 individuals were included in the observation cohort. The individuals were divided into Q1， Q2， Q3， and Q4 groups based on the quantiles of cumAIP. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence rate of new-onset NAFLD in the four groups， while the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to obtain the hazard ratio （HR） and 95% confidence interval （CI） of the risk of new-onset NAFLD in the four groups. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical variables between groups. ResultsThe mean follow-up was 10.89±2.54 years， and there were 6 011 cases of new-onset NAFLD， including 995 cases in the Q1 group， 1 366 in the Q2 group， 1661 in the Q3 group， and 1 989 in the Q4 group， with an incidence density of 11.37， 16.02， 19.97， and 24.91 per thousand person-years. The log-rank test showed that there was a significant difference in cumulative incidence rate between the four groups （P<0.001）. With the presence or absence of NAFLD as the dependent variable and the quantiles of different exposure levels to cumAIP as the independent variable， the multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that compared with the Q1 group， the Q2， Q3， and Q4 groups had an HR of 1.30 （95%CI： 1.20 — 1.41）， 1.52 （95%CI： 1.41 — 1.65）， and 1.79 （95%CI： 1.64 — 1.95）， respectively， for new-onset NAFLD， with a P_trend value of <0.001. With the presence or absence of new-onset NAFLD as the dependent variable and the cumulative exposure to AIP for 0， 2， 4， and 6 years as the independent variable， the Cox regression analysis showed that compared with cumulative exposure to AIP for 0 years， cumulative exposure to AIP for 2， 4， and 6 years had an HR of 1.24 （95%CI： 1.15 — 1.35）， 1.51 （95%CI： 1.40 — 1.64）， and 1.70 （95%CI： 1.56 — 1.84）， respectively， with a P_trend value of <0.001. A sensitivity analysis was performed after exclusion of the individuals with new-onset NAFLD within 2 years， the individuals who experienced atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events during follow-up， and the individuals taking antihypertensive， hypoglycemic， and lipid-lowering drugs， and the results were similar to those of the main analysis. Considering the competitive relationship between all-cause death and outcome events， a competing risk analysis of death was performed， which showed that the results of risk analysis were similar to those of the main analysis. ConclusionA high level of cumAIP exposure can increase the risk of new-onset NAFLD in young and middle-aged individuals.

Purpose To explore the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in evaluating the local muscle microcirculation before and after acupuncture at Zusanli point in normal people.Materials and Methods A total of 72 healthy volunteers who visited the Department of Ultrasound,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from September 2018 to May 2020 were prospectively collected,all subjects performed ultrasound contrast before acupuncture,acupuncture with strongest deqi,and two hours after acupuncture to observe the blood flow perfusion of the microvessels in the tibialis anterior muscle.The pre-selected areas of interest the small arteries,muscle tissues and venules in the middle were analyzed to obtain the time-intensity curve and contrast transit time(CTTs)perfusion parameters.Needle sensation was evaluated using objective scoring criteria for acupuncture combined with moxibustion recipients.Gastrin,plasma gastrin,cholecystokinin,and secretin were measured in all subjects before acupuncture,when acupuncture had the strongest deqi,and two hours after acupuncture.Results ①CTTs of arterial-muscle,muscle-venous and arterial-venous of the tibialis anterior muscle at acupuncture with strongest deqi were significantly shorter than those at before acupuncture and two hours after acupuncture(all P<0.001),and there was no significant difference in CTTs before and after acupuncture and moxibustion(P>0.05);②when acupuncture deqi was strongest,serum gastrin,plasma prokinetics,cholecystokinin,and secretin were significantly increased compared with those before acupuncture and two hours after acupuncture,with statistically significant difference(all P<0.001),while there was no significant difference in these parameters between before acupuncture and two hours after acupuncture(P>0.05);③when acupuncture had the strongest deqi,there were positive correlations between gastrin,plasma prokinetic hormone,cholecystokinin,and secretin values and CTTs of arterial-muscle,muscle-venous,and arterial-venous(r=0.360-0.702,P<0.001).Conclusion Acupuncture of the Zusanli,when it gains the strongest deqi,can cause changes in the microcirculation around the skeletal muscle,leading to a significant shortening of CTTs,and also promotes the secretory function of the gastrointestinal tract.

Objective To develop anxiety scale suitable for Chinese pregnant women and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods Based on existing research results and clinical experience,this study compiled pregnancy anxiety scale(PAS). A sample of 509 pregnant women were selected for investigation and 65 of them were randomly retested for test-retest reliability with 2 week interval. Item analysis was con-ducted to screen valid items. Then the construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory factor analysis ( EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA). Finally the reliability and criterion validity of the scale were evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficient,retest reliability coefficient and Pearson correlation coefficient. Re-sults The PAS was composed of 27 items in four factors,including worry about delivery,worry about them-selves,worry about fetal health and general anxiety. The four factors were extracted by EFA which could ex-plain 62. 48% of the total variance. Besides,the result of CFA demonstrated that the model fitted the data with well construct validity (χ2/df=1. 89,RMR=0. 04,RMSEA=0. 06,IFI=0. 92,TLI=0. 91,CFI=0. 92, PGFI=0. 70,PNFI=0. 74,PCFI=0. 81). The score of the pregnancy-related anxiety scale and its factors scores were positively correlated with the scores of pregnancy-related anxiety questionnaire(PAQ) and child-birth attitudes questionnaire(CAQ). The correlation coefficients were 0. 60-0. 80 and 0. 50-0. 78 respectively (all P<0. 01). The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0. 93 for the total scale and that of the four factors ranged from 0. 82 to 0. 90. The test-retest reliability was 0. 68 for the total scale and ranged from 0. 54 to 0. 75 for the four factors. Conclusion The PAS has a good reliability and validity,and it can be used as a valid tool to measure the anxiety level of pregnant women.

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) has caused a global public health crisis, and the severity of its infection is associated with high mortality in hospitalized patients. Therefore, the KPC-Kp prevention methods and the corresponding treatment strategy exploration are imminent. The risk factors and the treatment progress of KPC-Kp colonization or infection are reviewed in this paper to explore corresponding preventive measures and treatment strategies for clinical prevention and treatment.

Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) has been established as a standard procedure for elective colorectal surgery in most surgical centers since 1950s. However, the routine use of MBP for elective colorectal surgery is still in debate, as the researches on the evaluation of MBP have been carried out in recent 20 years. By searching and analyzing the existing evidence, we conclude that MBP should be routinely abandoned for elective open colorectal surgery, but should be routinely used for elective laparoscopic rectal surgery, and it still awaits large-scale RCTs for further evaluation of MBP for elective laparoscopic colonic surgery.
