Complement C3 plays a critical role in periodontitis. However, its source, role and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In our study, by analyzing single-cell sequencing data from mouse model of periodontitis, we identified that C3 is primarily derived from periodontal fibroblasts. Subsequently, we demonstrated that C3a has a detrimental effect in ligature-induced periodontitis. C3ar-/- mice exhibited significantly less destruction of periodontal support tissues compared to wild-type mice, characterized by mild gingival tissue damage and reduced alveolar bone loss. This reduction was associated with decreased production of pro-inflammatory mediators and reduced osteoclast infiltration in the periodontal tissues. Mechanistic studies suggested that C3a could promote macrophage polarization and osteoclast differentiation. Finally, by analyzing single-cell sequencing data from the periodontal tissues of patients with periodontitis, we found that the results observed in mice were consistent with human data. Therefore, our findings clearly demonstrate the destructive role of fibroblast-derived C3 in ligature-induced periodontitis, driven by macrophage M1 polarization and osteoclast differentiation. These data strongly support the feasibility of C3a-targeted interventions for the treatment of human periodontitis.

Objective:To understand the infection status, epidemiological characteristics and drug resistance of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in Shanghai and provide evidence for the disease surveillance. Methods:The epidemiological data of diarrhea cases in Shanghai from 2016 to 2022 were collected from Shanghai Diarrhea Comprehensive Surveillance System, and stool samples were collected from the cases for DEC detection. The drug resistance data was obtained from Chinese Pathogen Identification Network. Statistical analysis was conducted by using χ2 and fisher test. Results:In 24 883 diarrhea cases detected during 2016-2022, the DEC positive rate was 9.13% (2 271/24 883), the single DEC positive rate was 8.83% (2 197/24 883) and the mixed DEC positive rate was 0.30% (74/24 883). The main type of DEC was Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) [4.33% (1 077/24 883)]. The DEC positive rate was highest in people aged ≤5 years 18.48% (22/119). The annual peak of DEC positive rate was observed during July - September [5.91% (1 470/24 883)]. The DEC positive rate were 9.47% (554/5 847) and 9.02% (1 717/19 036) in urban area and in suburbs, respectively, Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) [3.98% (233/5 847)] and ETEC [4.56% (868/19 036)] were mainly detected. From 2016 to 2019, the DEC positive rate was 9.42% (1 821/19 330), while it was 8.10% (450/5 553) from 2020 to 2022, the main DEC types were ETEC (4.87%, 941/19 330) and EAEC (4.70%, 261/5 553). The multi-drug resistance rate was 40.21% (618/1 537). The top three antibiotics with high drug resistance rates were ampicillin [64.74% (995/1 537)], nalidixic acid [58.49% (899/1 537)] and tetracycline [45.09% (693/1 537)]. Conclusions:Compared with 2016- 2019, a decrease in DEC detection rate was observed during 2020-2022, and the main type of DEC detected shifted from ETEC to EAEC. The prevalence of multi-drug resistance was severe. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the surveillance for DEC drug resistance and standardize the use of clinical antibiotics.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) combined with pulmonary rehabilitation on the treatment of patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods A total of 108 patients with pneumoconiosis were selected as the research subject using convenient sampling method. They were randomly divided into control group and CBT group, with 54 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional symptomatic treatment and pulmonary rehabilitation treatment for 12 weeks. While patients in the CBT group were treated with CBT treatment in addition to treatments of the control group. The therapeutic effect was analyzed. Results Before treatment, there was no statistical difference on score of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second to the predicted value (FEV1%), forced expiratory volume in one second to force vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC%), score of the Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC), six minute walk distance (6MWD), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) subscale scores of anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D), and scores of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (CAT), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and serum levels of leptin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the score of MoCA, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC% and 6MWD increased (all P<0.05), while the scores of mMRC, HDS-A, HDS-D, CAT and SGRQ decreased (all P<0.05), and the levels of serum leptin, IL-6 and CRP decreased (all P<0.05) in the CBT group compared with the control group. Conclusion The combined treatment of CBT and pulmonary rehabilitation can better improve the cognitive ability, respiratory function, motor function, negative emotion and quality of life, and alleviate inflammatory response in patients with pneumoconiosis. It is of certain clinical application value.

Objective:To analyze high-risk factors for poor neurological prognosis in full-term neonatal purulent meningitis based on clinical and brain MRI features.Methods:This study was a case-control study. The clinical and brain MRI data of 79 neonates with purulent meningitis were retrospectively collected at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to January 2022. Follow-up assessments including growth and development, as well as neurological sequelae, were conducted over a minimum follow-up period of 6 months. The patients were divided into two groups with good ( n=49) and poor prognosis ( n=30) according to follow-up results. Chi-square tests were used to compare clinical and brain MRI features between the two groups, and a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the high-risk factors for poor neurologic prognosis in full-term neonates with purulent meningitis. Results:There were statistically differences between two groups regarding the incidence of seizures, early-onset manifestations, positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture, CSF white cell counts, and CSF protein concentration ( P<0.05). Statistically differences were also found in the occurrence rates of ependymitis, obvious ventricular dilatation/hydrocephalus, spotty and patchy brain injury/hemorrhage, and destructive lesions within the brain parenchyma ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that seizures ( OR=5.722, 95% CI 1.126-29.072, P=0.035), early-onset neonatal purulent meningitis ( OR=3.657, 95% CI 1.073-12.459, P=0.038), ependymitis ( OR=8.851, 95% CI 1.169-67.017, P=0.035), obvious ventricular dilatation/hydrocephalus ( OR=12.675, 95% CI 1.085-148.110, P=0.043), and destructive lesions within the brain parenchyma ( OR=16.370, 95% CI 1.575-170.175, P=0.019) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Conclusions:The occurrence of seizures, early-onset manifestations as well as ependymitis, obvious ventricular dilatation/hydrocephalus, and destructive lesions within the brain parenchyma on MRI are high-risk factors for poor prognosis in the full-term neonate with purulent meningitis.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics related to Norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea bud events in Shanghai, and to discuss the value of bud events surveillance, so as to help Norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea control, prevention and to improve the surveillance system on bud events.Methods:Data related to 142 Norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea bud events were gathered from 16 districts of Shanghai areas in 2018 and were analyzed.Results:There were 2 peaks, April and November for 142 Norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea bud events reported in 2018. 98.59 % (140/142) of the bud events occurred in schools and kindergartens. 80.28 % (114/142) of the bud events would involve 6-19 cases per each event. The median time duration between the onset date of the first case and the reporting date of the event was 2 days and the median event duration was 7 days. The bud event scale and regional incidence of bud events as well as the reporting timelines were influential factors on the duration of the bud events. Conclusions:Two peaks, spring and winter bud events of the Norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea were seen in Shanghai in 2018. Schools and kindergartens were to be prioritized locations for control and prevention of Norovirus-associated infectious diarrhea bud events. Surveillance system was proved to have contributed to the early detection, reporting and control of bud events.
