Aim To establish a simple and practical method for visualizing neurovascular coupling in the mouse barrel cortex in vivo.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice received stereotaxic in-jections of pAAV-hSyn-jGCaMP7s-WPRE into the barrel cortex to monitor neuronal activity.Three weeks post-injection,a crani-al window was implanted,and TRITC-Dextran 155 ku was ad-ministered intravenously to visualize the vasculature and blood flow dynamics.A custom-built whisker stimulator was used to e-voke controlled neuronal excitation.Two-photon microscopy was employed to monitor neuronal and vascular responses to whisker stimulation in real-time.Results Neuronal calcium signals and plasma signals were clearly observed using two-photon microsco-py.Whisker stimulation led to a significant increase in neuronal calcium signals in the barrel cortex,indicating effective neuronal activation.This neuronal excitation was accompanied by a syn-chronous increase in blood vessel diameter,blood flow velocity and overall blood flow.Conclusions This study successfully establishes a three-dimensional visualization framework(spatial,temporal,and functional)for in vivo visualization of neurovascu-lar coupling in the mouse barrel cortex,which provides a useful tool for investigating the pathophysiological mechanisms of neuro-vascular dysfunction and evaluating the efficacy of potential ther-apies.

Objective:To investigate the detection status of serological markers for hepatitis B virus (HBV) among Tibetan college students and their relationship with HBV- deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) load.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out to retrospectively analyze data from 1 514 Tibetan college students who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Xizang Minzu University for consultations or health examinations between June 1, 2021 and June 1, 2022. The prevalence of HBV infection among these students was analyzed, the primary epidemiological patterns of HBV markers were identified, and their relationship with HBV-DNA load was determined.Results:The positive rate of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) among the 1 514 Tibetan college students was 6.7% (101/1 514), while the positive rate for Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) was 42.2% (639/1 514). The primary serological pattern of HBV infection consisted of positive results for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcAb, which accounted for 48.5% of cases. This pattern showed significantly higher rates of HBV-DNA positivity and elevated viral load compared with other serological patterns ( χ2 = 8.70, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The HBV infection rate among Tibetan college students is 6.7%. The primary infection pattern is characterized by positive tests for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcAb, with an HBV-DNA positivity rate as high as 87.0% and elevated viral loads.

Objective·To analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from children,including the distribution of serotypes,resistance genes,and virulence genes,to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment strategies of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in children.Methods·A total of 133 non-duplicate strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae clinically isolated from Shanghai Children's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from April 2023 to April 2024,were collected.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by using the Vitek-2 Compact system.Capsular polysaccharide K antigen serotypes(K types)were determined by wzy-dependent initiator(wzi)gene sequencing.Resistance genes were detected by the colloidal gold method.Virulence genes and lipopolysaccharide O antigen serotypes(O types)were identified by PCR method.Results·Among the 133 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,a total of 50 strains of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)were detected,mainly distributed in the neonatal ward and intensive care unit(ICU).CRKP exhibited high resistance to most antimicrobial agents,and the main type of carbapenemase gene was blaNDM(34/50,68.00%),followed by co-carriage of blaNDM+blaOXA-48(10/50,20.00%)and blaKPC(6/50,12.00%).Serotype analysis revealed that the 50 CRKP strains could be divided into 8 K types and 6 O types.The most common K type was KL17(30/50,60.00%),followed by KL105(10/50,20.00%)and KL47(5/50,10.00%).The most common O type was O4(30/50,60.00%),followed by O3b(7/50,14.00%,),O3/O3a(6/50,12.00%),and OL101(5/50,10.00%).Significant correlations were identified between KL47 and OL101 serotypes(KL47:OL101),between KL17 and O4 serotypes(KL17:O4),and between KL1/KL2 and O1 serotypes(KL1/KL2:O1).Conclusion·The CRKP strains infecting children primarily carry blaNDM-type carbapenemase genes,showing a significant difference compared to CRKP-infected adults.The detection rate of CRKP in the neonatal ward is significantly higher than those in other departments,suggesting that infection prevention and control measures in this ward need to be strengthened.

Objective To perform an economic evaluation of ilaprazole in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding and low-risk stigmata,and to provide a reference for drug selection.Methods From a societal perspective,we used decision analysis to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of ilaprazole and omeprazole in treating peptic ulcer bleeding patients dur-ing hospital stays.The probabilities of model nodes were taken from phase Ⅲ clinical trial research results,while cost data came from national medical insurance prices,published literature,and hospital databases.Sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were performed to test the stability of the results.Results A cost minimization analysis was performed.Under the basic setting,the cost of the ilaprazole group was 4 038.99 yuan,and that of the omeprazole group was 3 837.61 yuan,which means that the cost of the ilaprazole group was 201.38 yuan higher.Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were stable.Scenario analysis showed that ilaprazole was more cost-effective than the innovator drug of omeprazole.Conclusion Ilaprazole was less economical than ome-prazole in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding patients with low-risk stigmata.

Objective:To examine the manifestations and causes of administrative burden among primary healthcare professionals,and to explore its impact on job burnout through the mediating role of role conflict,providing theoretical and empirical support for governance-level burden-reduction strategies.Methods:An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed,focusing on primary healthcare professionals in Shandong Province.In the first phase,in-depth interviews were conducted with 175 participants;in the second phase,a questionnaire survey of 1,096 participants and follow-up interviews with 107 participants were carried out.Results:The proportions of respondents who reported"heavy"or"very heavy"burdens were 62.7%for inspection,54.8%for documentation,51.8%for reporting,and 24.4%for meetings.Structural equation modeling showed that administrative burden had a direct effect on job burnout(0.150)and an indirect effect through role conflict(0.093).Qualitative findings further indicated that administrative burden largely stemmed from public health traceability requirements and medical insurance policies,and operated through both resource-based and value-based conflicts.Conclusions:Primary healthcare professionals face considerable administrative burdens,which may heighten job burnout through role conflict.Governance reforms should optimize inspection and assessment,streamline data reporting,refine record-keeping,and promote collaborative governance to break the chain of institutional pressure leading to burnout.
