ObjectiveTo evaluate the public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province and provide an optimized pathway for the construction of a “strong, rich, beautiful, and high-quality” new Jiangsu. MethodsA total of 806 policy documents, 658 public information reports, and 148 research literatures related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province from January 1995 to December 2023 were collected. The status of current public health goverance was assessed based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems, and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system were identified. ResultsThe public health governance capability of Jiangsu Province was scored at 738.3 points, ranking 3rd nationally. Maternal health care and emergency response capacities achieved leading positions nationwide, both ranking 2nd. Jiangsu had exhibited a standardized guidance in the strategic level, a well-established management mechanism, an extensive coverage in information collection, and a scientifically established health targets setting. However, bottlenecks remained, including an unclear division of responsibilities across organizational departments, an insufficient public-health workforce, the absence of a stable growth mechanism for government funding investment, and difficulties in promptly identifying public needs. ConclusionJiangsu’s public-health system demonstrates leading nationally, yet several components remain underdeveloped. Future efforts should consolidate advantages while addressing weaknesses, further diversify content and forms, establish a stable funding increase mechanism, and clarify departmental functions, thereby providing solid health support for realizing the developmental goals of a “strong, rich, beautiful and high-quality” new Jiangsu.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of Wenshen Chushi Decoction combined with low intensity pulsed ultra-sound(LIPUS)on erectile dysfunction(ED)caused by renal deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome.Methods:One hundred and twenty ED patients were included from the Department of Andrology in the First Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The patients in control group were treated with Wenshen Chushi Decoction.While the patients in observation group were trea-ted with Wenshen Chushi Decoction combined with LIPUS for 8 consecutive weeks.After the treatment,the efficacy was evaluated using the International Index of Erectile Function-5(IIEF-5)score,Penile Flow Index(PFI),Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score,Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)score,and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)score.Safety was also observed.And the ef-ficacy was followed up 4 weeks after the end of treatment.Results:Fifty-seven cases were enrolled into control group finally with 55 cases in the treatment group.After the treatment,all the patients in both of groups showed an improvement in IIEF-5 scores(P＜0.01).Compared with the control group(19.09±2.22),the IIEF-5 score in observation group(20.42±2.39)increased signifi-cantly(P＜0.01).After the treatment,the scores of PFI,TCM syndrome and SDS in both groups decreased(P＜0.01,P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the control group([3.77±1.21],[9.91±1.71]and[39.88±2.63]points),the observation group([2.92±1.08],[4.78±1.45],and[34.51±2.09]points)showed a more significant decrease(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in total effective rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).During follow-up,the IIEF-5 scores of both groups of patients were higher than those before(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and the observation group score was higher than that in the control group([17.15±3.37]vs[13.63±1.96],P＜0.01).No adverse reaction and abnormality of indicators occurred in both of two groups.Conclusion:Wenshen Chushi Decoction has a significant therapeutic effect on ED caused by renal deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome.It can not only improve the quality of erection,but also improve the physical and mental symptoms associated with ED,which makes therapeutic effect lasting longer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with multiple myeloma(MM)complicated by bone lesions and the risk factors associated with bone lesions.Methods:The clinical data of 294 newly diagnosed MM patients in Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the bone lesion group(154 cases)and the non-bone lesions group(140 cases)based on the presence of absence of bone lesions at diagnosis.The general data and laboratory parameters were compared between the two groups.The risk factors for bone lesions in MM patients were analyzed by logistic regression analysis,and the characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to assess the predictive value of each risk factor for the occurrence of bone lesions in MM patients.Results:Compared to the non-bone lesion group,the bone lesion group had significantly higher serum calcium levels and significantly greater proportions of patients with Durie-Salmon(DS)stage Ⅲ,and bone pain(all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum calcium(OR=5.135,95％CI:1.931-13.653,P=0.001),DS stage Ⅲ(OR=1.841,95％CI:1.019-3.328,P=0.043),and bone pain(OR=8.208,95％CI:4.761-14.151,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for bone lesions in MM patients.ROC curve analysis showed that serum calcium(AUC=0.619,95％CI:0.555-0.683,P＜0.001)and bone pain(AUC=0.743,95％CI:0.692-0.793,P＜0.001)had predictive value for bone lesions in MM patients.Conclusion:MM patients have a high incidence of bone lesions,and active monitoring and management of risk factors may improve treatment outcomes and prognosis.

Objective To propose a lead attention network-based ST-T change recognition algorithm to detect ECG ST-T changes accurately.Methods Firstly,heartbeat signals were extracted through R-wave localization,and a 12-lead heartbeat matrix was generated by correlation-based screening and merging to realize data augmentation.Secondly,a lead attention module was constructed by combining depthwise convolution(DWConv)with the channel attention squeeze-and-excitation block(SE-block)structure to perceive the differences in ST-T status among electrocardiogram leads.Thirdly,the mapping output by two independent attention modules was fused and splicing with the original signal residual was carried out,so that attention information extraction and original information transfer were enhanced effectively.Finally,SE-ResNet was used as the backbone network to extract signal features to complete the classification and identification of ST-T changes.To validate the recognition performance of the proposed algorithm for ST-T changes in ECG,the 12-lead ECG data of 97 472 patients containing different ECG rhythms were collected for ablation and comparison experiments at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University.Results The proposed algorithm achieved an AUC of 0.965 with a sensitivity of 90.51%,specificity of 90.23%,positive predictive value of 89.24%and overall accuracy of 90.36%on an independent test set.Comparative analysis demonstrated superior performance to four benchmark architectures,including VGG16,ResNet18,MobileNetV3-Small and ShuffleNet,in terms of both classification accuracy and computational efficiency.Conclusion The algorithm designed can accurately detect ST-T changes and can be used for wearable ECG automatic analysis to assist in the early warning of cardiovascular diseases in both acute and chronic patients and highland residents.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(7):1-11]

Objective:To investigate the effect of hypoxemia(HYP)on the expression of myeloid cell trigger receptor-1(TREM-1)in macrophage exosomes(Exo)and the effect of TREM-1 on the biological behavior of ovarian cancer cells.Methods:The expression of TREM-1 in 27 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer tissues and 30 cases of benign ovarian cysts were detected by immuno-histochemical staining.The human mononuclear cell line THP-1 was induced into macrophages by chemical induction method,and the siRNA silencing TREM-1 was transfected into the differentiated macrophages under HYP conditions.The macrophages Exo derived from normoxia(NOR)and HYP were isolated and co-cultured with the ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3.The cells were divided into the NOR-Exo group,HYP-Exo-siRNA group,HYP-Exo-siTREM-1 group and Control group.Transwell assay,scratch assay and Western blot were used to detect the invasion,migration,epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)ability of ovarian cancer cells in each group,the expression of TREM-1 protein in cells,and the protein phosphorylation levels of P65,ERK1/2 and AKT in the NF-κB,ERK1/2 and AKT signaling pathways,respectively.Results:Compared with benign ovarian cyst,the expression of TREM-1 in ovarian cancer macrophage was significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with NOR,HYP could significantly promote the expression of TREM-1 in macrophage and its Exo(P<0.05).Compared with Control group,the invasion,migration and EMT ability and the protein phosphorylation levels of P65,ERK1/2 and AKT in HYP-Exo-siRNA group and HYP-Exo-siTREM-1 group were significantly in-creased(P<0.05),there was no significant change in the NOR-Exo group(P>0.05).Compared with HYP-Exo-siRNA group,the above detection indexes in NOR-Exo group and HYP-Exo-siTREM-1 group were significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:HYP can up-regulate the EMT,invasion and migration ability of ovarian cancer cells by promoting the high expression of TREM-1 in Exo de-rived from macrophages,which may be related to the activation of NF-κB,ERK1/2 and AKT signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the peripheral blood cytokine levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI),and to analyze its correlation with Killip classification,N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),creatine kinase isoenzymes(CK-MB),and to provide a theoretical basis for assessing the severity and prognosis of the disease.Methods A total of 312 patients with AMI admitted to Minhang Hospital,Fudan University from Jul 2021 to Oct 2023 were enrolled as the case group,and 201 patients with unstable angina pectoris were selected as the control group.General clinical data of the subjects were collected,and the concentrations of cytokines(IL-5,IFN-α,IFN-γ,IL-10,IL-12p70,IL-17,IL-1β,IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α)in peripheral blood were detected by multiplex bead-based flow cytometry.NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB were measured by chemiluminescence methods.The levels of cytokines between the two groups were compared,and their correlations with Killip classification,NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB were analyzed.The predictive efficacy of cytokines for AMI was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results There were no significant differences in baseline data between the AMI group and the control group(P>0.05),with the exception of age.The levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in the AMI group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.01).The correlation analyses showed that IL-6 was positively correlated with Killip classification,NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB(all P<0.01).ROC analyses showed that IL-6 levels had good predictive efficacy for AMI(AUC=0.882 9,P<0.01).Conclusion The expression of IL-6 was significantly increased in patients with AMI,and it was positively correlated with Killip classification,NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB,suggesting that IL-6 may serve as a potential biomarker for assessing the severity of AMI.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates from elderly patients(≥65 years)in major medical institutions across China.Methods Bacterial strains were isolated from elderly patients in 52 hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program during the period from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by disk diffusion method and automated systems according to the same CHINET protocol.The data were interpreted in accordance with the breakpoints recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021.Results A total of 514 715 nonduplicate clinical isolates were collected from elderly patients in 52 hospitals from January 1,2015 to December 31,2021.The number of isolates accounted for 34.3％of the total number of clinical isolates from all patients.Overall,21.8％of the 514 715 strains were gram-positive bacteria,and 78.2％were gram-negative bacteria.Majority(90.9％)of the strains were isolated from inpatients.About 42.9％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens,and 22.9％were isolated from urine.More than half(60.7％)of the strains were isolated from male patients,and 39.3％isolated from females.About 51.1％of the strains were isolated from patients aged 65-＜75 years.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains(MRSA)was 38.8％in 32 190 strains of Staphylococcus aureus.No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found.The resistance rate of E.faecalis to most antibiotics was significantly lower than that of Enterococcus faecium,but a few vancomycin-resistant strains(0.2％,1.5％)and linezolid-resistant strains(3.4％,0.3％)were found in E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible S.pneumoniae(PSSP),penicillin-intermediate S.pneumoniae(PISP),and penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae(PRSP)was 94.3％,4.0％,and 1.7％in nonmeningitis S.pneumoniae isolates.The resistance rates of Klebsiella spp.(Klebsiella pneumoniae 93.2％)to imipenem and meropenem were 20.9％and 22.3％,respectively.Other Enterobacterales species were highly sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics.Only 1.7％-7.8％of other Enterobacterales strains were resistant to carbapenems.The resistance rates of Acinetobacter spp.(Acinetobacter baumannii 90.6％)to imipenem and meropenem were 68.4％and 70.6％respectively,while 28.5％and 24.3％of P.aeruginosa strains were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively.Conclusions The number of clinical isolates from elderly patients is increasing year by year,especially in the 65-＜75 age group.Respiratory tract isolates were more prevalent in male elderly patients,and urinary tract isolates were more prevalent in female elderly patients.Klebsiella isolates were increasingly resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents,especially carbapenems.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is helpful for accurate empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of preoperative intestinal symptoms in patients with bowel endometriosis and to compare the effects of shaving versus segmental bowel resection on postoperative intestinal function.Methods A total of 105 patients diagnosed with bowel endometriosis and treated by the same surgical team at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University between Aug 1,2013 and Dec 30,2017 were prospectively enrolled in this study.Clinical data were collected via outpatient visits and telephone follow-ups at four time points:preoperative(T0)and postoperative(T1:Nov 2018;T2:Nov 2020;T3:Apr 2024).The primary outcome was bowel symptoms and gastrointestinal function scores;secondary outcome was pain scores.A generalized estimating equation(GEE)model was used to analyze the interaction effect of surgical approach and follow-up time on outcomes.Results Ultimately,a total of 89 patients were included(15.24%loss to follow-up),among whom 79 patients(88.76%)underwent shaving excision.Preoperatively,46 patients(51.68%)presented with bowel symptoms,primarily anus bulge(21 cases,46.65%)and diarrhea(15 cases,32.61%)during menstruation.Postoperatively,there was a significant increase in constipation rates(T1:71.43%;T2:50.00%;T3:72.00%).Both surgical groups exhibited significant improvements in dysmenorrhea,gastrointestinal discomfort scores as well as gastrointestinal quality of life index(P<0.000 5).However,the segmental resection group had significantly higher scores for low anterior resection syndrome,constipation compared with the shaving excision group(P=0.02 and P=0.05).Conclusion Approximately half of the patients with bowel endometriosis exhibit typical bowel symptoms preoperatively,such as anus bulge and diarrhea.Both shaving excision and segmental resection effectively alleviate pain;however,shaving excision demonstrates an advantage regarding preservation of bowel function,whereas segmental resection may elevate risks associated with postoperative constipation or altered defecation patterns due to structural changes.The selection of surgical approach should carefully balance lesion removal and functional preservation,moreover,be sure that potential risks are thoroughly informed to patients prior to surgery.

BACKGROUND:Kaempferol has anti-osteoporotic effects,but the mechanisms by which kaempferol regulates gut microbiota and metabolites to prevent and treat osteoporosis remain unclear.OBJECTIVE:To exploring the potential mechanisms by which kaempferol inhibit osteoporosis based on gut microbiota and comprehensive targeted metabolomics.METHODS:Eighteen female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham operation group,model group,and kaempferol group,with 6 rats in each group.Animal models of osteoporosis were made in the latter two groups through removal of bilateral ovaries.Eight weeks after modeling,the sham operation and model groups were gavaged with distilled water,and the kaempferol group was gavaged with 40 mg/kg kaempferol.Continuous administration in each group was carried out for 12 weeks.Rat fecal samples were collected for 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing to observe changes in the gut microbiota structure.Serum samples were subjected to comprehensive targeted metabolomics analysis using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technology,along with a proprietary database and multivariate statistical analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 12 weeks of continuous intervention,the results of 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing showed that compared with the sham operation group,the abundance of gut microbiota increased in the model group.Compared with the model group,kaempferol group exhibited a statistically significant increase in the abundance of the genus Latilactobacillus(P=0.021),while the abundances of Pantoea(P=0.034),Enterorhabdus(P=0.000),Monoglobus(P=0.024),Butyricimonas(P=0.034),Rothia(P=0.043),and Clostridia(P=0.004)were significantly downregulated.After 12 weeks of continuous intervention,the results of the serum samples analyzed by broad-targeted metabolomics revealed that 120 and 79 metabolites were identified between the sham operation and model groups and between the model and kaempferol groups,respectively.Among the three groups,there were 17 overlapping differentially expressed metabolites,including Cis-aconitic acid,barbituric acid,L-homocitrulline,3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid,L-3-phenyllactic acid,cyclo(pro-pro),L-phenylalanine-L-serine,proline-isoleucine,L-donoraminoacetic acid-L-phenylalanineacetic acid,and phenylalanine-aspartic acid.Most of them belong to amino acids and their metabolites,glycerophospholipids and fatty acyls.The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways involved in the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in D-amino acid metabolism,histidine metabolism,propionate metabolism,lysine degradation,fatty acid metabolism and sphingolipid metabolism.After 12 weeks of continuous intervention,combined analysis revealed that genera such as Enterorhabdus,Latilactobacillus,Rothia,and Ruminococcus were closely associated with differential serum metabolites.To conclude,kaempferol may exert its anti-osteoporotic effects by modulating the abundance,diversity,and structure of gut microbiota,thereby regulating the metabolism of amino acids,their metabolites,and fatty acids.
