Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic immunoinflammatory disease that mainly affects the spine and the sacroiliac joint， the mechanism of which is closely related to signaling pathways， such as osteoprotegerin （OPG）/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB （RANK）/RANK ligand， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， Wnt/β-catenin （β-catenin）， phosphoinositide 3- kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin （PI3K/Akt/mTOR）. Traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristics of multiple components and targets， and is widely used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases due to its low toxicity， strong specificity， and high efficacy. This review found that monomers and compounds of traditional Chinese medicine can exert anti ankylosing spondylitis effects by intervening in the aforementioned signaling pathways， regulating immune inflammatory responses， and inhibiting biological processes such as bone destruction， ectopic osteogenic differentiation， cell apoptosis， and autophagy.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the public health governance capacity of 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces, providing a scientific evaluation basis for building a "Healthy Yangtze River Delta". MethodsA comprehensive collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was conducted, totaling 6 920 policy documents, 1 720 information reports, and 1 200 literature pieces. Based on the evaluation standards for an appropriate public health system established by the research team, the basic status of public health governance capacity was assessed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the 40 cities. ResultsIn 2022, the public health governance capacity score for the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was (562.5±38.0) points. In terms of specific areas, the emergency response field received the highest score of (791.4±49.7) points, while the chronic disease prevention and control field received the lowest score of (368.2±29.6) points. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui region has largely achieved the strategic priority of health, gradually improved public health legal regulations, and established a basic organizational framework with a solid foundation for information and data infrastructure. However, challenges still need to be addressed, such as unstable government funding for public health, unclear departmental responsibilities, and barriers to information interoperability. ConclusionThe public health governance capacity of the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Province has been at a moderate level, but disparities have still existed across regions and fields. In the future, while continuing to deepen existing advantages, it is essential to accurately identify the causes of problems, establish a long-term and stable investment mechanism, enhance information connectivity mechanisms, further clarify departmental responsibilities, and promote the achievement of the "Healthy Yangtze River Delta" goal.

Objective: To analyze the disease burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and changes in its risk factors among residents in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021, so as to identify key priorities for COPD prevention and control. Methods: Data on COPD mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for residents in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database. Standardized mortality and standardized DALY rate were calculated using the GBD 2021 world population standard structure. Premature mortality was computed via the life table method. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was applied to analyze trends in COPD mortality, DALY rate, and premature mortality. Changes in deaths of COPD risk factors were evaluated using population attributable fraction (PAF). Results: From 1990 to 2021, the standardized COPD mortality in Zhejiang Province decreased from 272.40/100 000 to 70.56/100 000 (AAPC=-4.395%), and the standardized DALY rate declined from 4 167.37/100 000 to 1 071.89/100 000 (AAPC=-4.396%). Similar downward trends were observed in both males (AAPC=-3.933%, -4.173%) and females (AAPC=-4.785%, -4.480%), all P<0.05. Crude mortality and DALY rates increased with age, and the crude mortality and DALY rates of various age groups in Zhejiang Province showed decreasing trends from 1990 to 2021 (all P<0.05). The premature mortality declined from 4.37% to 0.60% from 1990 to 2021 (AAPC=- 6.206%), with consistent trends across males and females (AAPC=- 6.144%, - 6.379%, all P<0.05). From 1990 to 2021, particulate matter pollution showed the largest reduction in PAF (- 56.76%), while ambient ozone pollution had the largest increase (103.07%) in Zhejiang Province. By 2021, smoking became the leading risk factor for deaths of COPD (PAF=43.32%). Conclusions The standardized mortality, standardized DALY rate, and premature mortality for COPD show consistent declining trends in Zhejiang Province from 1990 to 2021. However, risk factors such as smoking and ambient ozone pollution require intensified focus to further reduce disease burden of COPD.

ObjectiveTaking Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix（ABR） from different origins as samples， to quantitatively analyze the chemical composition and chromaticity of ABR with different processing degrees， and clarify the correlation and change law between color and composition in the processing process of ABR， so as to provide reference for the quality evaluation of processed products of ABR. MethodThe colorimeter is used to measure the chromaticity values of three kinds of processing degrees of ABR in different origins to show the color value change trend during the processing process， and the color parameters of wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR with different processing degrees were analyzed by principal component analysis（PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） and other analysis methods. The contents of eight representative components of ABR were measured by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）， the correlation between chromaticity and each representative component was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis， and the applicability of the selected eight representative components was further verified by Fisher linear discriminant analysis， and the wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR with different processing degrees were grouped according to the degree of processing， and 48 samples of wine-processed and salt-processed products with different processing degrees were used as training samples. Taking the contents of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural， polypodine B， β-ecdysterone， 25R-inokosterone， 25S-inokosterone， ginsenoside Ro， chikusetsusaponin Ⅳa and polysaccharides as variables， the discriminant function was established respectively， and 12 samples of wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR with different processing degrees were back-tested to verify the discriminant function and test the reliability of the function. ResultPCA and OPLS-DA results showed that ABR samples with different processing degrees were classified into clusters， and the results could significantly distinguish different processed products. During the process of wine and salt processing， the contents of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural， ginsenoside Ro_， and chikusetsusaponin Ⅳa gradually increased with the deepening of the processing degree， while the contents of polypodine B， β-ecdysterone， 25R-inokosterone， 25S-inokosterone and polysaccharides showed a gradual decreasing trend， indicating these 8 components increased and decreased to different degrees in the process of wine and salt processing. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content of the samples with different processing degrees of wine-processed and salt-processed products were negatively correlated with the brightness value（L^*） and the total color difference value（E^*ab）（P<0.01）， and positively correlated with the red-green value（a^*） and the yellow-blue value（b^*）（P<0.01）， and that the content of polypodine B and polysaccharides were positively correlated with L^* and E^*ab（P<0.01）. The discriminant functions of wine-processed and salt-processed products of ABR were established by Fisher linear discriminant analysis， and their accuracy rates in the training samples were 93.75% and 95.83%， respectively. Twelve test samples of wine-processed and salt-processed products with different processing degree were back substitution， and the correct rate was 100%. ConclusionThe trend of composition and color changes of ABR with different processing degrees in different production areas is relatively consistent， and the color value can better distinguish ABR with different processing degrees， and the color of ABR is related to some representative components in the processing process， indicating that the color can provide reference for the identification of the processing degree of ABR and the prediction of component content.

Objective To systematically review the value of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for diagnosing pulmonary and mediastinal lesions with endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were searched by computer to collect the studies of ROSE and EBUS in the diagnosis of pulmonary and mediastinal lesions from inception to August 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Meta-analysis was implemented by RevMan 5.4 and Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 15 studies (9 retrospective studies and 6 prospective studies) with 3 577 patients were included. The meta-analysis results of main outcomes showed that the adequacy of the sample (RD=0.10, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.15, P<0.000 1), overall diagnosis rate (RD=0.07, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.10, P<0.000 1) and the diagnosis rate of the malignant lesion (RD=0.06, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.09, P=0.004) of the ROSE combined with EBUS group were significantly higher than those of the EBUS group. Subgroup analysis showed that the diagnosis rates of pulmonary lesions (RD=0.12, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.17, P<0.000 01) and mediastinal lesions (RD=0.06, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.12, P=0.02) in the ROSE group was significantly higher than those in the EBUS group. The overall diagnosis rate and malignant diagnosis rate of ROSE combined with EBUS were 90% and 92%. The meta-analysis results of secondary outcomes showed that the number of lesions punctures (MD=–1.16, 95%CI –1.89 to –0.43, P=0.002) in the ROSE combined with EBUS group were significantly less than that in the EBUS group; there was no statistical difference in operation time (MD=0.09, 95%CI –5.22 to 5.39, P=0.97) or incidence of complications (RD=–0.06, 95%CI –0.13 to 0.01, P=0.1) between the two groups. Conclusion ROSE can improve the diagnostic efficiency of EBUS in pulmonary and mediastinal lesions, and has the value of the clinical application.

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the epidemic characteristics and spatial distribution of vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks in schools and kindergartens in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide the scientific evidence for optimizing prevention and control of vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks in schools and kindergartens. Methods: Data collection and analysis were carried out on the vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks reported to Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2015 to 2019. Epidemiological characteristics were analyzed and compared. The proportion and incidence of outbreaks in schools and kindergartens were calculated, and the influencing factors of outbreaks were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. The index of Moran s I was used for the global and local spatial auto correlation analysis. Results: Among the 344 vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks, 98.26% occurred in kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and other educational institutions. The median number of cases per outbreak was 15. The number of suspected outbreaks and the percentage of cases involved peaked in 2015 ( 60.00% , 84.35%) and then decreased year by year to 16.00% and 38.80% in 2019. About 86.98% of the outbreaks were transmitted by human to human contact. Among the 329 outbreaks with samples collected from cases and/or environments, the main pathogen detected was norovirus ( n =280), and sapovirus was detected in outbreak for the first time in 2016. The outbreaks showed obvious seasonality, with two peaks (November, March) and one trough (July), and the majority of outbreaks occurred in primary schools (44.38%) and kindergartens (32.84%). Compared with kindergartens, the probabilities of suspected epidemic outbreaks in primary schools, combined schools, middle schools and other educational institutions were higher (adjusted OR =6.40, 9.16, 12.64 , 5.58, P <0.01). The proportion and incidence of outbreaks in educational institutions in different districts showed no high-high aggregation areas. Conclusions Primary schools and kindergartens are key places for the prevention and control of vomiting and diarrhea outbreaks. Targeted prevention and control measures should be strengthened at the beginning of each semester and before the peak of the epidemic each year. Timely reporting of symptoms, suspension of school admissions after symptoms appear and standardized disposal of vomit are effective measures to reduce interpersonal transmission and control the scale of an outbreak.
