In order to explore the effect of PGD2/DP1 receptor pathway on the expression of cyto-kines and injury-related factors in Escherichia coli(E.coli)induced bovine bone marrow derived macrophages,an in vitro model of E.coli induced bovine bone marrow derived macrophages was established.The effects of DP1 receptor agonist on phagocytosis and killing ability,mRNA expres-sion,secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1β)and activation of signaling pathway(MAPK,NF-κB)in cow bone marrow derived macrophages induced by E.coli were examined.The results showed that compared with the E.coli infection group,the phagocytosis and killing ability of BW-245C+E.coli group and 15 d-PGJ2+E.coli group were enhanced(P＜0.01).Compared with the blank control group,mRNA expression was at a higher level(P＜0.001),and the secre-tion of pro-inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1β)was significantly increased after adding E.coli solution.The mRNA expression of BW-245C+E.coli group and 15 d-PGJ2+E.coli group were significantly decreased(P＜0.001),and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1β)was significantly decreased(P＜0.001).and signaling pathway(MAPK,NF-κB)were sig-nificantly down-regulated(P＜0.001).This study showed that DP1receptor agonist plays an inhib-itory role in the inflammatory response of cow bone marrow-derived macrophages induced by E.coli.This finding provides a potential target for future treatment of cow endometritis,laying the foundation for the development of novel anti-inflammatory treatment strategies.

To investigate the therapeutic effect and related mechanisms of hordenine on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) in rats, HE and AB-PAS staining were used to detect the improvement of pathological damage to the nasal mucosa induced by hordenine. ELISA was employed to detect the effect of hordenine on OVA-sIgE in serum and IL-4 in the nasal mucosa supernatant of rats. IHC and Western blot experiments were undertaken to examine the effect of hordenine on Th1/Th2 cell balance. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict pathways, which were verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments. The experimental results showed that hordenine could alleviate the behavioral manifestations of OVA-induced AR rats, alleviate nasal mucosal pathological damage caused by AR, and reduce the secretion of OVA-sIgE and IL-4. In addition, hordenine could regulate the Th1/Th2 balance. Bioinformatics analysis results showed that the potential pathway of action of hordenine on AR was the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. The in vivo experimental results showed that the expression of PI3K and p-Akt proteins in the nasal mucosa of the model group rats was significantly increased (P < 0.01), and that the protein expression level was significantly decreased after the administration of hordenine, which was also confirmed by an in vitro experiment. This study suggests that hordenine may regulate Th1/Th2 cell balance through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thereby exerting an alleviating effect on OVA-induced AR.

A Meta-synthesis approach was employed to integrate the findings.Results:A total of fourteen articles were included and ten new categories were extracted and synthesized into four integraion results: sources of illness stigma, key influencing factors of illness stigma, manifestations and impacts of illness stigma, and coping strategies illness stigma.Conclusions:Illness stigma is a significant barrier to stroke rehabilitation. Nurses should be aware of the characteristics of illness stigma, conduct early identification, and develop individualized strategies for prevention and intervention. It is essential to help patients build multi-dimensional support systems involving society and family, and to guide them in gradually accepting and adapting to their new self.

Escherichia coli(E.coli)is a key pathogenic bacterium responsible for postpartum endo-metritis,with its colonization in the reproductive tract closely associated with endometrial damage and disruption of the ovarian cycle.This ultimately leads to infertility,causing significant economic losses to the dairy industry.Macrophages play a pivotal role in the inflammatory response.This study aims to investigate the mRNA expression profile of bovine bone marrow-derived macropha-ges following E.coli infection using RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)technology.Additionally,it seeks to identify the biological functions and signaling pathways of differentially expressed genes(DEGs)through Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses.The results demonstrated that E.coli infection induced differential expression of 4 522 genes,with 2 141 upregulated and 2 381 downregulated.These genes were primarily asso-ciated with inflammatory responses,where TLR2,TLR4,NLRP3,and PTGS2 played pivotal roles.PGD2 synthesis was mediated by TLR2,TLR4,and NLRP3.Transcriptome sequencing of bovine bone marrow-derived macrophages infected with E.coli and treated with a PGD2 inhibitor revealed a marked downregulation of TLR2 and TLR4 gene expression.qPCR validation results were highly consistent with the RNA-seq findings.This study elucidates the interactive regulatory roles of TLR2,TLR4,and NLRP3 in conjunction with PGD2,which collectively modulate bovine endome-tritis.These findings offer significant molecular insights that enhance our understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying bovine endometritis,thereby informing its prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and spatial distribution characteristics of Clonorchis sinensis human infections in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2022, so as to provide insights into formulation of the clonorchiasis control measures in the province. Methods Xinhui District of Jiangmen City, Longmen County of Huizhou City and Wengyuan County of Shaoguan City in Guangdong Province were selected as fixed surveillance sites for human clonorchiasis from 2016 to 2022, and additional 10% to 15% counties (districts) endemic for clonorchiasis were sampled from Guangdong Province as mobile surveillance sites each year from 2016 to 2022. A village (community) was randomly selected from each surveillance site according to the geographical orientations of east, west, south, north and middle, and subjects were randomly sampled from each village (community). C. sinensis eggs were detected in subjects’ stool samples using the Kato-Katz technique, and the prevalence and intensity of C. sinensis infections were calculated. In addition, subjects’ gender, age, ethnicity, educational level and occupation were collected. The Guangdong Provincial 1:1 million electronic map in vector format was downloaded from the National Geomatics Center of China, and kernel density analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis of C. sinensis human infections in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2022 were performed using the software ArcGIS 10.7. Results A total of 153 188 residents were tested for C. sinensis infections in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2022, including 75 596 men (49.35%) and 77 592 women (50.65%), and there were 5 369 residents infected with C. sinensis, with 3.50% overall prevalence of infections. The prevalence rates of severe, moderate and mild C. sinensis infections were 0.76%, 7.26% and 91.97% among C. sinensis-infected residents in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2022, and there were age-, gender-, ethnicity-, occupation- and educational level-specific prevalence of C. sinensis human infections (χ² = 2 578.31, 637.33, 52.22, 2 893.28 and 1 139.33, all P values < 0.05). Global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed a cluster in the prevalence of C. sinensis human infections in Guangdong Province (Moran’s I = 0.63, Z = 27.31, P < 0.05). Kernel density analysis showed that the prevalence of C. sinensis human infections with a high kernel density in Guangdong Province was mainly distributed along the Zhujiang River basin in Pearl River Delta areas, followed by in eastern and northern Guangdong Province. In addition, local spatial autocorrelation analysis identified 73 high-high clusters of the prevalence of C. sinensis human infections in Guangdong Province. Conclusions The prevalence of C. sinensis human infections was high in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2022, and mild infection was predominant among all clonorchiasis cases, with spatial clusters identified in the prevalence of C. sinensis human infections. Targeted clonorchiasis control measures are required among high-risk populations and areas.

Objective This study aims at establishing a teaching catalog and content for breast rare dis-eases and developing the syllabus for the breast rare disease using integrated multimodality of case-/problem-/resource-based learning(CBL+PBL+RBL).Methods By conducting bibliometrics co-occurrence analysis,we collected 6291 articles on breast rare disease published from January,1975 to June,2024.Additionally,we re-trieved the Textbook on Rare Diseases,the Catalog of Chinese Rare Disease,and Second Batch of Rare Dis-ease Catalog and then decided the teaching content.Results From 16,387 keywords,1000(6.1％)keywords were identified through co-occurrence analysis,including 50(0.3％)candidate diseases.These were classified into three categories:rare primary breast diseases,rare genetic mutation-related diseases associated with breast cancer,and rare systemic multi-system diseases involving the breast.From the candidate list,20(0.1％)rare primary breast diseases were further selected for their notable clinical teaching significance,and significant multi-systemic diseases affecting the breast,whether related to gene mutations or not.Teaching plans were draf-ted using a diversified parallel teaching approaches,taking into account the characteristics of different diseases and the focus of different teaching methods.Conclusions This study initiated the development of the teaching content for breast rare diseases and developed the teaching syllabus using the CBL+PBL+RBL integrated multi teaching model and targeting each rare breast disease for the critical point for teaching.

Objective:To understand the current status of the level of chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy and health anxiety among chronic disease residents, as well as the urban-rural differences, in order to provide a basis for improving the level of chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy among chronic disease residents.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From July to August 2022, a multi-stage random sampling method was adopted to select 201 rural residents with chronic diseases in one rural health center and 242 urban residents with chronic diseases in two community health service centers. General demographic characteristics questionnaire, Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Literacy Questionnaire and Short version of Health Anxiety Scale were used for questionnaire survey.Results:There were 93 males and 108 females with chronic diseases in 201 rural chronic disease residents, and the age range was 19-69 years. There were 116 males and 126 females with chronic diseases in 242 urban chronic disease residents, and the age range was 18-69 years old. The score of chronic disease prevention and control literacy of rural chronic disease residents (7.86 ± 2.25) was lower than that of urban chronic disease residents (8.55 ± 2.03). The score of health anxiety of rural chronic disease residents (13.69 ± 5.26) was higher than that of urban chronic disease residents (11.67 ± 5.95). Both differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.43, 3.79, both P<0.05). After controlling the general demographic data, the layered linear regression analysis of rural chronic disease residents and urban chronic disease residents showed that health anxiety can negatively affect rural chronic disease residents and urban chronic disease residents of chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy level ( β=-0.185, -0.129, both P<0.05). Conclusions:There are urban-rural differences in chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy and health anxiety of chronic disease residents in community. It is necessary to strengthen psychological construction among rural chronic disease residents in order to improve their chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy.
