ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence of hookworm infection and its relevant behavioral factors in rural areas of Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province, and to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of hookworm disease. MethodsBy using a stratified cluster random sampling strategy, local residents aged ≥3 years was divided into 5 districts according to geographical location; furthermore, those in one administrative village (surveillance site) were investigated in each district. Species of hookworm were identified by filter paper culture in vitro, and enterobius vermicularis eggs were detected by cellophane anal swab in children aged 3‒9 year. Risk factors were determined by questionnaire. ResultsA total of 1 013 residents were investigated in 5 surveillance sites. Thirty nine cases with hookworm infection were detected, with the total infection rate of 3.85% . All species detected were determined to be Necator americanus. The infection rate significantly differed across the towns (χ2=48.32, P<0.05), with the highest rate in Nanping Town (10.95%) . It significantly differed by age groups (χ2=65.65, P<0.05), with the highest rate in those aged >70 years (9.75%). Furthermore, it decreased with educational background. It was significantly associated with fertilize with fresh manure (χ2=6.87, P<0.05) and barefoot labor (χ2=157.69, P<0.05). ConclusionThe overall infection rate of hookworm in Tiantai County remains low. Dominant species of hookworm is hookworm Necator americanus. It is necessary to strengthen the advocacy of hookworm prevention and control knowledge, improve hygiene in work and life style, and increase self-protection awareness.

AIM: To explore the risk factors of retinal detachment after stage II vitrectomy in patients with open ocular trauma.METHODS: Retrospective analysis. Totally 278 patients(278 eyes)with open ocular trauma who received stage II vitrectomy in the hospital were included from April 2020 to July 2023. According to the postoperative retinal detachment status, they were divided into detachment group(48 eyes)and non-detachment group(230 eyes). The basic clinical conditions of the two groups of patients were compared, and the factors affecting retinal detachment were analyzed.RESULTS: Univariate analysis revealed that there were statistical differences in wound length, injured area, surgical time after injury, and history of retinal detachment/lesion between the two groups(all P<0.05). Logistics multivariate regression analysis showed that wound length greater than 10 mm, surgical time after injury more than 1 wk, and history of retinal detachment/lesion were risk factors for retinal detachment in patients with open ocular trauma after stage II vitrectomy(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The occurrence of retinal detachment in patients with open ocular trauma after stage II vitrectomy is mainly related to the severity of trauma, surgical time after injury and history of ocular retinopathy. It is necessary to perform surgical treatment for patients as soon as possible.

Objective:To investigate the stability of α-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregates formed by incubation with blood plasma of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from 10 patients diagnosed as having PD in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2020 and 10 healthy control subjects (HC) at the same time period. The 1 mg recombinant human α-Syn was dissolved in 140 μL 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer solution (PBS), and then, incubated with plasma from HC and PD patients and PBS at 37 ℃ for 7 d (HC group, PD group and PBS group). Preformed fiber (PFF) group was used for subsequent experiment with 10 μg PFF. After digestion with different concentrations of trypsin (concentration ratios of trypsin/α-Syn=1:80, 1:40, and 1:20) and protease K (PK, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 μg/mL), the differences of α-Syn levels before and after digestion were detected by Western blotting.Results:(1) Effect of trypsin on PFF digestion: PFF gradually decreased with the increase of trypsin doses; when trypsin/α-Syn ratio=1:20, α-Syn aggregates with molecular weight greater than 35 000 were almost completely digested, and its digestion was significantly different as compared with that in other concentration ratios ( P<0.05). (2) Effect of trypsin on digestion of α-Syn aggregates: at the relative molecular weight<25 000, when the concentration ratio of trypsin/α-Syn=1:20, as compared with HC and PD groups, the PBS group had significantly more obvious decrease ( P<0.05). At the relative molecular weight 35 000-40 000, the α-Syn levels in PBS, HC and PD groups were significantly decreased as compared with those before digestion at all concentration ratios; as compared with HC and PD groups, the PBS group had significantly more obvious decrease ( P<0.05). At molecular weight>40 000, α-Syn decreased significantly in PD group only when the concentration ratio of trypsin/α-Syn=1:20, and the degrees of digestion was PBS group>HC group>PD group, with significant differences among groups ( P<0.05). (3) Effect of PK on PFF digestion: when PK concentration was 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 μg/mL, α-Syn was basically digested at relative molecular weight>35 000, and α-Syn monomer was reduced and small fragment appeared at relative molecular weight<25 000; as compared with negative controls (0 μg/mL PK), these changes in groups of PK concentration of 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 μg/mL were significantly different ( P<0.05). (4) Effect of PK on digestion of α-Syn aggregates: at relative molecular weight<25 000, α-Syn in PBS group was digested into smaller fragments while α-Syn in HC and PD groups was not digested; significant differences was noted among groups at the same concentration ( P<0.05). At relative molecular weight of 35 000-40 000, with the increase of PK concentration, the amount of α-Syn dimer in PBS group decreased (increased digestibility), that in HC group increased, however, that in PD group did not change obviously; significant difference was noted at the same concentration among the three groups ( P<0.05). At relative molecular weight>40 000, with the increase of PK concentration, α-Syn in PBS, HC and PD groups decreased to a certain extent, and significant difference was noted among groups at the same concentration ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The stability of α-Syn aggregates formed by incubation with plasma from PD patients is higher than that formed by incubation with HC plasma and PBS.

Objective:To investigate the present situation of unintended pregnancy within two years postpartum and its influencing factors in China.Methods:Participants who delivered a live birth at 60 hospitals in 15 provinces in the eastern, central and western regions of China during July 2015 to June 2016 were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. Information on occurrence of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery, postpartum contraceptive use, sexual resumption, breastfeeding, and women′s socio-demographic characteristics, and so on, were collected. Life-table analysis, cluster log-rank tests and a 2-level Cox regression model were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 18 045 postpartum women were investigated. The cumulative 1- and 2-year unintended pregnancy rates after delivery were 5.3% (95% CI: 4.5%-6.1%) and 13.1% (95% CI: 11.3%-14.8%), respectively. Cox regression model analysis showed that the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years postpartum were increased in younger women, ethnic minorities, women with abortion history, and those who had a vaginal delivery with short lactation time and late postpartum contraceptive initiation (all P<0.01). The risk of postpartum unintended pregnancy was not associated with geographic regions and hospitals where women gave a birth (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In China, the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery is relatively high. Service institutions and service providers should improve the quality of postpartum family planning services, promote the use of high effect contraceptive methods, and educate women to use a method at the time of their sexual resumption or even before.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of echinacoside (ECH) on liver injury and glucose metabolism disorder in sepsis rats induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods:Forty eight male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group (sham), model group (CLP), treatment group (CLP+ ECH) and inhibitor group (CLP+ ECH+ EX527). The sham group only received laparotomy, and the model group underwent CLP. The treatment group was intragastric administration of echinacea (30 mg/kg) every day after CLP modeling. The inhibitor group was injected with silence information regulator 1 (SIRT1) inhibitor EX527 (5 mg/kg) one hour before CLP, and then treated the same as the treatment group. Fasting blood glucose, insulin and serum biochemical indexes were detected in virous groups. The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1 β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 2′, 7′- dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining was used to observe the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in liver tissue of rats in each group; hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue in each group; The expressions of SIRT1, glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), phosphorylated signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) and phosphorylated protein ki-nase B(p-AKT) were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with sham group, the levels of serum glucose, serum insulin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), ROS, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in model group increased, while the liver glycogen and survival rate decreased (all P<0.05). After echinacoside treatment, the serum glucose, serum insulin, ALT, AST, ROS , IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels decreased, and the liver glycogen and survival rate increased (all P<0.05); After SIRT1 inhibitor intervention, the levels of serum insulin, ALT, AST, IL-6 and ROS in the inhibitor group increased ( P<0.05). HE staining showed that there were infiltration and necrosis of inflammatory cells in the liver tissue of model group, and echinacoside could significantly reduce the focal and massive necrosis; Western blot showed that compared with the sham group, the expression levels of SIRT1, p-STAT3 and p-AKT protein in the model group decreased, while the expression levels of G6Pase and PEPCK protein increased ( P<0.05); After echinacoside treatment, the expression levels of SIRT1, p-STAT3 and p-AKT increased, while the expression levels of G6Pase and PEPCK decreased ( P<0.05). After SIRT1 inhibitor intervention, the expression of SIRT1, p-STAT3 and p-AKT protein decreased, and the expression of G6Pase and PEPCK protein increased in the inhibitor group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Echinacoside is a potential therapeutic agent for sepsis associated liver injury and glucose metabolism disorders, which may play a role by targeting SIRT1 to activate STAT3 and AKT in the liver.

Objective:To investigate whether miRNA-296-5p can inhibit enterovirus 71 (EV71) virus replication in neural cells SK-N-SH by targeting the phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/serine/threonine kinases (AKT) signaling pathway.Methods:Serum samples were collected from patients with EV71 virus-infected hand-foot-mouth disease and normal physical examination, and the expressions of serum inflammatory factors procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and IL-13 were detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells infected by EV71 virus in logarithmic growth phase were set up as control group, miRNA-296-5p mimic group and miRNA-296-5p inhibitor group. The transfection was carried out according to the Lipofectamine 2000tm cell transfection reagent. The expression of EV71-VP1 gene mRNA and protein and PTEN/PI3K/Akt signal pathway related molecules in three groups of cells was observed by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot.Results:ELISA test results showed that the levels of serum inflammatory factors PCT, CRP, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-13 in patients with EV71 virus-infected hand, foot and mouth disease were significantly higher than those in normal physical examination ( P<0.05). The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot showed that the mRNA and protein levels of mirna-296-5p and PTEN in SK-N-SH were significantly decreased after EV71 virus infection, while the mRNA and protein levels of EV71-VP1 and molecules related to PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were significantly increased ( P<0.05). The expression of PTEN was significantly increased in the miRNA-296-5p mimic group, and the expression of EV71-VP1 and the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were inhibited, while the effect was reversed in the miRNA-296-5p inhibitor group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:MiRNA-296-5p inhibits the replication of EV71 virus in neural cells SK-N-SH by targeting the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, while reducing the cellular inflammatory response, targeting miRNA-296-5p and downstream PTEN/PI3K/AKT The signal pathway is expected to provide therapeutic targets and theoretical basis for the treatment of hand-foot-mouth disease caused by clinical EV71 virus.
