ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

Objective Zinc finger protein 335 (Zfp335) plays a crucial role in the early development of thymic T cells and the differentiation of peripheral T cell subpopulations. The objective of this study is to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of Zfp335 in the regulation of regulatory T cell (Treg) within tumor immunity. Methods The Zfp335 gene was specifically knocked out in Treg using tamoxifen (Zfp335^fl/fl FOXP3^creERT2), and the MC38 tumor model was established. On the 7th day after tumor inoculation, tumor size was observed and measured. Tumor size was monitored and recorded daily starting from day 7 post-inoculation. On day 12, tumors were harvested, and the proportions of CD4⁺ T cells, CD8⁺ T cells, and Treg were analyzed by flow cytometry. Additionally, the mitochondrial function of effector regulatory T cell (eTreg) was assessed. Results From day 10 post-tumor inoculation, tumor volume in the Zfp335^CKO group was significantly reduced compared to that of the wild-type (WT) group. Furthermore, the infiltration of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, along with their respective effector cells, was significantly higher in the Zfp335^CKO group than in the WT group. The proportions of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells producing interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were also significantly increased in the Zfp335^CKO group compared to that of the WT group. In addition, the percentage of CD8⁺ T cells secreting granzyme B (GzmB) was significantly higher in the Zfp335^CKO group than that in the WT group. In contrast, the proportion of Treg and inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS)⁺ Treg in the Zfp335^CKO group was significantly lower than that in the WT group. Finally, the expression level of Mitotracker Deep Red in eTreg from the Zfp335^CKO group was significantly reduced compared to that in the WT group. Conclusion During tumorigenesis, the specific deletion of Zfp335 impairs Treg activation, which is related to decreased mitochondrial function in eTreg. In Zfp335^CKO mice. Tumors exhibit increased infiltration of effector T cells, accompanied by elevated levels of cytotoxic cytokines, ultimately enhancing resistance to tumor progression.

Senile trichiasis is primarily manifested by eyelid laxity, decreased horizontal elasticity and tension of the eyelids, leading to friction between the eyelashes and the cornea, which subsequently causes corneal damage and vision decline. Surgical intervention remains the most effective therapeutic approach for senile trichiasis. This article elaborates on the epidemiological characteristics, pathological mechanisms, and clinical manifestations of senile trichiasis and systematically reviews the surgical treatment method for upper and lower eyelid trichiasis, including traditional surgical techniques and emerging minimally invasive procedures combined with personalized therapies. Through a literature review, the effectiveness and recurrence rates of surgical treatment are summarized, emphasizing the importance of preoperative assessment and individualized treatment. Additionally, strategies and recommendations for preventing senile trichiasis are proposed.

Objective To investigate the effects of meropenem and amikacin on gut microbiota diversity and composition in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC).Methods Neonatal SD rats(1～2 d,weighing 5～10 g,both sexes)were subjected to establish a NEC model through artificial formula feeding,hypoxic-cold stress,and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)gavage.The rats were randomly divided into normal control group(Group C,n=12),NEC group(Group N,n=20),meropenem intervention group(Group M,n=20),and amikacin intervention group(Group A,n=20).Following modeling,Group M and Group A received intraperitoneal injections of meropenem(125 mg/kg)or amikacin(468 mg/kg),twice daily for 3 consecutive days.Groups C and N were administered an equal volume of normal saline.At the end of the intervention,colonic contents or fecal samples were collected.The gut microbiota structure was analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing.Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the QIIME2 platform.Alpha diversity was evaluated using Chao1,Shannon,and Simpson indices.Beta diversity was assessed based on Bray-Curtis distance through principal coordinate analysis(PCoA)and non-metric multidimensional scaling(NMDS).Venn and UpSet plots were generated to visualize the composition and overlap of operational taxonomic units(OTUs).Linear discriminant analysis effect size(LEfSe)was applied to identify differentially abundant taxa across groups.Results High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing showed that the N group had significantly lower 3 indices of α diversity than the C group(P<0.01),that is,a Chao1 index from 230 to 40,a Shannon index from 1.65 to 0.85,and a Simpson index from 0.65 to 0.42.After antibiotic intervention,both the M group and A group obtained obvious increases in the Chao1 index than the N group(P<0.001),with a greater increase observed in the M group than in the A group(P<0.05).However,neither antibiotic group exhibited notable improvements in the Shannon index or Simpson index compared with the N group(P>0.05).Venn and UpSet analyses revealed that the M group had the highest number of unique OTUs(283),while the A group shared the most OTUs(63)with the C group.PCoA and NMDS analyses indicated that the microbial structure of the A group was closer to that of the C group,with better clustering.Taxonomic composition and LEfSe analysis demonstrated that the N group was enriched with potentially pathogenic taxa such as Escherichia coli B2 and Klebsiella under the phylum Proteobacteria,while beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillaceae and Bifidobacteriaceae(phylum Firmicutes)were significantly reduced,indicating severe dysbiosis.In contrast,the A group exhibited a significant increase in beneficial bacteria and a structural tendency toward ecological recovery.The M group,however,was enriched with various conditionally pathogenic and environmentally associated genera,displaying a microbial configuration notably deviating from a healthy state.Conclusion Meropenem and amikacin exhibit differential regulatory effects on the intestinal microbiota in the context of NEC.Amikacin demonstrates superior efficacy in restoring microbial stability and levels of beneficial bacteria,whereas meropenem,although effective for early infection control,warrants caution due to its potential long-term impact on the gut microbiome.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of modified use of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction plus Xijiao Dihuang Decoction in the treatment of patients with psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome and to observe its effect on Th1/Th2 balance in the patients.Methods The investigation was carried out in a total of 130 patients with psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome,who were admitted to the dermatology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine between January 2022 and June 2023.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method,with 65 patients in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,while the observation group was treated with modification of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction plus Xijiao Dihuang Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.Both groups were treated for four consecutive weeks and were followed up for one year.The changes in the scores of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(PASI)and Dermatology Life Quality Index(DLQI),levels of peripheral blood Th1/Th2 balance indicators,and levels of peripheral Th1/Th2-related factors such as γ-interferon(INF-γ),interleukin 2(IL-2),and interleukin 4(IL-4)in the two groups of patients before and after treatment were observed.Moreover,the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions during treatment were evaluated,and the recurrent cases within one year in the two groups were counted.Results(1)After four weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 90.77%(59/65),and that of the control group was 76.92%(50/65).The intergroup comparison showed that the clinical efficacy of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the scores of PASI and DLQI in the two groups of patients were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of PASI and DLQI scores in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).(3)After treatment,the serum levels of Th1/Th2-related factors such as INF-γ and IL-2 in the two groups of patients were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and IL-4 level was increased when compared with that before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of serum INF-γ and IL-2 levels and the increase of serum IL-4 level in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(4)After treatment,the peripheral blood levels of Th1/Th2 balance indicators of Th1,Th2 and Th1/Th2 in the two groups of patients were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the decrease of peripheral blood Th1,Th2 and Th1/Th2 levels in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).(5)The recurrence rate of the observation group was 20.69%(12/58)and that of the control group was 38.33%(23/60),and the recurrence time in the observation group was(8.49±1.43)months and that of the control group was(5.36±0.95)months.The intergroup comparison showed that the one-year recurrence rate of the observation group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group(P<0.05),and the recurrence time was significantly prolonged compared with that of the control group(P<0.05).(6)The medicine-induced adverse reaction rate in the observation group was 10.77%(7/65)and that in the control group was 12.31%(8/65),and the intergroup comparison showed that the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Modified use of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction plus Xijiao Dihuang Decoction is effective on enhancing the clinical efficacy of patients with psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome,and on improving the balance of Th1/Th2 and the severity of the disease,delaying the recurrence of psoriasis vulgaris,and reducing the recurrence rate,with high safety.

Objective:To compare knowledge graphs (KGs) constructed from standardized clinical pathways and actual examination records within 24 hours of emergency care for acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage (AGH), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and to visually analyze discrepancies between guideline recommendations and real-world practice, thereby exploring a novel methodology for clinical pathway optimization.Methods:KGs were developed using clinical pathway standards and actual examination data collected within the first 24 hours of emergency treatment for AGH, AMI, and ICH. Entity attributes were weighted to visually represent the frequency and extent of examination usage through variable node sizes in the KG. The constructed KGs were used to compare and analyze the differences in type and frequency of examinations performed relative to pathway standards.Results:The proportion of examination items with >50% adherence to clinical pathway standards within 24 hours was 76.92% for AGH, 44.44% for AMI, and 78.57% for ICH. Items from the clinical pathways that were not performed in over 50% of patients accounted for 15.38%, 27.78%, and 21.43% of cases, respectively. Non-pathway examinations increased by 9, 7, and 4 items for each condition, of which 17 items (85%) were performed at least once in more than half of the patients. Visualization via KGs revealed a reduction in redundant examinations by 38.64% between AGH and AMI, 35.00% between AGH and ICH, and 37.50% between AMI and ICH. Overall, a 54.84% reduction in redundant examinations was achieved across all three critical conditions.Conclusions:The visual KG approach effectively integrates both guideline-recommended and experience-driven examinations, serving as a correlational analysis tool to assess deviations between actual clinical practice and standardized pathways. It provides a quantitative foundation for optimizing clinical pathways, with potential for greater efficiency gains as more critical conditions are incorporated into the graph.

Biliary tract cancer(BTC)due to its subtle early symptoms,approximately 60％-70％of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage,limiting the effectiveness of treatment.While traditional treatment methods such as surgery and chemotherapy remain the primary approaches,their efficacy is limited by the heterogeneity of the disease and the development of resistance.Recently,targeted therapies and immunotherapy have emerged as promising strategies,showing good prospects in clinical trials.Targeted drugs addressing common genetic mutations in BTC,such as FGFR2 gene fusion,IDH1 mutations,and HER2 amplification,have shown some therapeutic efficacy.In addition,the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy has shown potential in prolonging survival.However,targeted and immunotherapy for BTC still faces challenges,and future research should focus on personalized treatment,combining genetic testing and immunotherapy to further optimize therapeutic strategies and improve patient quality of life.

Objective To investigate serum levels of eosinophilic neurotoxin(EDN),interleukin(IL)-13 and transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1 in children with recurrent wheezing of mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)infection and analyze risk factors of recurrent wheezing with MP infection.Methods A total of 80 children with MP infection were divided into the MP infection recurrence wheezing group(45 cases)and the MP infection non-wheezing group(35 cases)according to the previous history of MP infection with wheezing,and 35 children with acute attacks of bronchial asthma were selected as the asthma group.The levels of EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze risk factors of MP infection recurrence and wheezing.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 on MP infection recurrence and wheezing.Results Compared with the non-asthmatic group,levels of EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 were higher in the recurrent asthmatic group and the asthmatic group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 levels between the asthma group and the recurrent asthmatic group.Univariate analysis showed that the birth weight was lower in the recurrent wheezing group than that of the non-wheezing group,and the proportion of atopic constitution,the first and second degree relatives allergy history,smoke exposure and hospital stay≥7 d were higher than those of the non-wheezing group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher levels of EDN,IL-13,TGF-β1,atopic constitution and smoke exposure were risk factors for recurrent wheezing of MP infection(P＜0.05).ROC curve results showed that the AUC of EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 for predicting the recurrence of MP infection and wheeting was 0.688,0.662 and 0.689,respectively,and the AUC of the combined prediction of EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 was 0.765,which was the most effective than each single index.Conclusion Serum levels of EDN,IL-13 and TGF-β1 increase in children with recurrent wheezing of MP infection,and their serum levels may predict repeated wheezing in children after MP infection,providing guidance for clinical intervention.

Diabetic retinopathy(DR)-related neovascular glaucoma(NVG)is a severe ocular complication of diabe-tes,characterized by a high blindness rate and complex diagnosis and treatment.Currently,there is a lack of systematic,whole-process management guidelines for DR-NVG in China.To standardize the clinical diagnosis,treatment,and health management of DR-NVG,domestic retinal disease and glaucoma experts have developed the first expert consensus on the whole-process management of neovascular glaucoma associated with diabetic retinopathy,by integrating the latest evi-dence-based medical evidence and clinical practice experience from both domestic and intemational sources.Centering on the disease characteristics of DR-NVG,this consensus proposes scientific and standardized whole-process management strategies,encompassing early screening and risk assessment,precise diagnosis and staging,multi-mode combination ther-apy,perioperative management,and long-term follow-up.It mainly covers the screening and diagnosis of high-risk popula-tions,the timing of anti-VEGF therapy and pan-retinal photocoagulation application,and indications for surgical interven-tion.The aim is to provide standardized guidance for ophthalmologists and public health workers,improve the prevention and treatment level of DR-NVG,and reduce the incidence of irreversible visual impairment.
