OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of peiminine B (PEI) on Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP)-induced alveolar epithelial cell injury by regulating the Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 in nucleus accumbens (Rac1)/protein kinase B (Akt)/nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS Human alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC) were taken and randomly divided into the Control group, SP group (1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution), low-, medium-, and high-concentration PEI groups (1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution+0.05, 0.10, 0.20 mmol/L PEI), and high-concentration PEI+Akt activator group (P-H+SC79 group, 1×108 cfu/mL SP bacterial solution+0.20 mmol/L PEI+10 μmol/L SC79). Except for the Control group, the other groups of cells were treated with SP bacterial solution and/or corresponding drug solution. After 24 h of treatment, the levels of inflammatory factors (interleukin-6, -18, -1β) in the supernatant solution, the contents of oxidative stress indexes [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)], apoptosis rate, as well as the expressions of proliferation/apoptosis-related proteins [cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), B cell lymphoma-2 related X protein (Bax)] and pathway-related proteins (Rac1, Akt, phosphorylated Akt, NF-κB and phosphorylated NF-κB) were detected in each group. RESULTS Compared with the Control group, the levels of inflammatory factors in supernatant solution, LDH and ROS contents, apoptosis rate, the protein expressions of Bax and Rac1 and the phosphorylation levels of Akt and NF-κB in the SP group were significantly increased or up-regulated, while SOD content and the protein expression of CDK1 were significantly decreased or down-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the SP group, the above indexes in PEI groups were significantly improved in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05). SC79 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of the high concentration of PEI (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS PEI can alleviate SP-induced inflammation and oxidative stress damage of alveolar epithelial cells and inhibit apoptosis, which may be achieved by inhibiting Rac1/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control among occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis, and to provide a scientific basis for assessing the effectiveness of brucellosis prevention and control in China.Methods:A total of four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected as survey counties from 2019 to 2020, and 600 people from the occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis in each survey county were selected as survey respondents, and basic information and knowledge of prevention and treatment were collected through questionnaires. Single-factor and multi-factor logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting the population's knowledge of prevention and treatment.Results:A total of 2 411 people participated in the survey and 2 384 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 1 405 males and 979 females, with the youngest age being 18 years old, the oldest being 91 years old, and the median being 57 years old. The overall knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control was 17.74% (423/2 384). The knowledge rate was lower among people over 60 years old, farmers, and people with less than elementary school education (13.99%, 14.50%, and 13.78%), and higher among women, herders, and people with elementary school education (20.02%, 36.33%, and 19.58%); the knowledge rate was lower in Hunyuan County (0.51%), and the differences in overall knowledge rates by age, occupation, education level, and region were statistically significant (χ 2 = 18.25, 87.18, 11.05, 197.43, P < 0.001). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that gender, occupation, literacy and region were associated with knowledge of prevention and treatment ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The overall knowledge of prevention and treatment among high-risk occupational groups in the key areas of China's brucellosis prevention and treatment program is low, with a large gap with the goals of the national brucellosis prevention and treatment program, and gender, occupation, literacy level, and region are the influencing factors of the knowledge of prevention and treatment. There is an urgent need to carry out a variety of health education activities for high-risk occupational groups and to strengthen the exchange of experience on brucellosis prevention and treatment between regions.

Objective:To investigate the association between congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and the adverse outcomes during hospitalization in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI).Methods:This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study was conducted based on the data from the Sino-northern Neonatal Network (SNN). Data of 5 818 VLBWI with birth weight <1 500 g and gestational age between 24-<37 weeks that were admitted to the 37 neonatal intensive care units from January 1 st, 2019 to December 31 st, 2022 were collected and analyzed. Thyroid function was first screened at 7 to 10 days after birth, followed by weekly tests within the first 4 weeks, and retested at 36 weeks of corrected gestational age or before discharge. The VLBWI were assigned to the CH group or non-CH group. Chi-square test, Fisher exact probability method, Wilcoxon rank sum test, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between CH and poor prognosis during hospitalization in VLBWI. Results:A total of 5 818 eligible VLBWI were enrolled, with 2 982 (51.3%) males and the gestational age of 30 (29, 31) weeks. The incidence of CH was 5.5% (319 VLBWI). Among the CH group, only 121 VLBWI (37.9%) were diagnosed at the first screening. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CH was associated with increased incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) ( OR=1.31(1.04-1.64), P<0.05) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) of stage Ⅲ and above ( OR=1.74(1.11-2.75), P<0.05). However, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed no significant correlation between CH and EUGR, moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in stage Ⅱ or above, and ROP in stage Ⅲ or above ( OR=1.04 (0.81-1.33), 0.79 (0.54-1.15), 1.15 (0.58-2.26), 1.43 (0.81-2.53), 1.12 (0.70-1.80), all P>0.05). Conclusion:There is no significant correlation between CH and in-hospital adverse outcomes, possibly due to timely diagnosis and active replacement therapy.

Objective:To understand the current status of personal protection in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis in China and provide evidence for the evaluation of implementation of National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020).Methods:Four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis from December 2019 to July 2020 by using cross-sectional survey methods.Results:A total of 2 384 persons at high risk for brucellosis were surveyed, and the standardized utilization rate of personal protective equipment (PPE) was 20.13% (480/2 384). The utilization rate of glove, mask, rubber shoe, and work cloth were 38.26% (912/2 384), 31.80% (758/2 384), 32.01% (763/2 384) and 30.87% (736/2 384),respectively. There were significant differences in the utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of the four types of PPE among populations in different age, occupation, educational level and area groups (all P<0.001). The utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of PPE were lower in people over 60 years old, women, farmers, and those with lower educational level. The results of multivariate analysis showed that occupation and area were the influencing factors for the standardized utilization of PPE, the standardized utilization rates of PPE were higher in herdsmen and veterinarians. The standardized utilization rate of PPE in Yanggao County and Huocheng County was significantly higher than that in Zuoyun County and Hunyuan County. Conclusions:The utilization rate of the four types of PPE in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis was not high in China, and the standardized utilization rate was low, lower than the requirement in National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan, and there were significant differences among different areas. It is urgent to distribute PPE to occupational population at high risk for brucellosis and carry out health education about PPE utilization. Meanwhile, it is necessary to strengthen information exchange or sharing among different areas.

BackgroundThe major depressive disorder has high prevalence among adolescents, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors frequently occur among patients, therefore, major depressive disorder in adolescents has become the researching focus. ObjectiveTo explore the effect of mentalization-based family therapy (MBFT) on depressive symptoms and NSSI behavior in adolescents with major depressive disorder, and to provide references for the rehabilitation of major depressive disorder in adolescents. MethodsA total of 90 adolescent patients with major depression disorder who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) for depressive disorders and attended Wuhan Mental Health Center from January to December 2022 were selected, and were assigned into study group (n=44) and control group (n=46) using random number table method. All participants received routine intervention, based on this, study group added a 60-minute MBFT intervention once a week for 8 weeks. Before the intervention and at the end of 1st, 2nd,4th and 8th week,the two groups were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Ottawa Self-injury Inventory (OSI). ResultsThe repeated measures analysis of variance reported a statistical main effect of time, main effect of group, and interaction effect between time and group at the baseline and the end of 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th week of treatment in HAMD-24 score (F=69.621, 15.428, 29.623, P˂0.05), OSI score (F=176.642, 37.682, 21.873, P˂0.05), GSES score (F=215.236, 57.421, 27.857, P˂0.05) and PSQI score (F=268.541, 61.863, 33.867, P˂0.05). Individual effect analysis discovered a statistical difference between study group and control group at the end of 2nd, 4th and 8th week of treatment in HAMD-24 score (t=5.567, 8.645, 6.233, P˂0.01), OSI score (t=3.675, 11.817, 9.632, P˂0.01), GSES score (t=23.462, 31.709, 12.750, P˂0.01) and PSQI score (t=9.664, 22.457, 9.333, P˂0.01). ConclusionMBFT may improve depressive symptoms, NSSI behavior, sleep quality and self-efficacy in adolescents with major depressive disorder.

Objective:To deeply explore the real work of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of stroke in general hospitals, rehabilitation and pension institutions and community health service centers (stations), and to provide reference for improving the level of comprehensive prevention of stroke in the medical system.Methods:From July to November 2022, face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 18 medical staff in general hospitals, 10 medical staff in rehabilitation and pension institutions, and 8 medical staff in community health service centers (stations) were conducted by phenomenological research methods. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview data, and Nvivo12 software was used to code the interview data.Results:Four themes were extracted: hospitals, institutions and communities all played an important role in the comprehensive prevention of stroke and actively cooperated with each other; the public was still lack of comprehensive prevention awareness and correct cognition of stroke; lack of professional medical resources hindered the development of comprehensive stroke prevention; incomplete collaborative mechanism of comprehensive prevention of stroke in hospitals, institutions and communities.Conclusions:In the current comprehensive prevention of stroke, there are still problems such as weak public awareness of prevention, insufficient professional medical resources, and imperfect coordination mechanism. In view of the advantages of medical institutions at all levels, it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of the system at all levels and explore efficient and sustainable coordination mechanism, so as to improve the comprehensive prevention level of stroke in the medical system.
