Influenza virus pneumonia (IVP) is an acute inflammatory disease of the lung with high incidence rate and infectivity caused by invading of the virus into the lower respiratory tract. At present, the treatment of IVP is mainly based on anti-influenza virus infection strategies, including the use of influenza vaccines and anti-influenza virus drugs. Due to the strong variability of viral antigens, it is difficult to obtain long-lasting immunity through vaccination. Commonly used chemical//biological antiviral drugs usually target a single specific viral protein. The mutation and evolution of the virus can reduce its efficacy or render it ineffective, which may lead to drug resistance, limiting the clinical application of these treatment options. Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) have a long history in the prevention and treatment of IVP and are widely used in clinical practice due to their unique advantages and clear therapeutic effects. The research progress on the pathogenesis of IVP, effective prevention and treatment of TCMs for IVP, and the mechanism of action of its active ingredients were reviewed, which could provide new ideas for the treatment of IVP and reference for the development of new multi-target and low toxicity drugs.

Objective To retrospectively analyze of factors influencing early preterm birth(EPB)and late preterm birth(LPB)in pregnancy women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta spectrum disorders(PAS),and assess maternal and infant outcomes.Methods We included 590 cases of pregnancy women with placenta previa complicated by PAS who underwent cesarean sections at five hospitals in Wuhan and Xianning cities between January 2018 and June 2021.These patients were divided into three groups based on delivery gesta-tional age:EPB,LPB,and term birth(TB).A multiple logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors associated with EPB and LPB.Additionally,differences in early maternal and infant outcomes among these groups were examined.Results Among 590 pregnancy women with placenta previa complicated by PAS,the proportions of EPB and LPB were 9.7%and 54.4%.The use of uterine contraction inhibitors prior to cesarean section,vaginal bleeding,and previous cesarean sections history were identified as risk factors for both EPB and LPB.The proportion of severe postpartum hemorrhage was comparable between the EPB group and the LPB group;however,the incidence of neonatal asphyxia,low birth weight infants,and the rate of newborns transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU)within 24 hours after cesarean delivery were significantly higher in the EPB group compared to the LPB group.Conclusions Placenta previa complicated by PAS predominantly leads to LPB.The history of prior cesarean sections,uterine contractions,and vaginal bleeding prior to cesarean section,are sig-nificantly associated with both EPB and LPB.During the perinatal period,efforts should be made to extend gesta-tional weeks under close monitoring to minimize the incidence of premature births and thereby improve early mater-nal and infant outcomes.

Objective:To explore the application of COVID-19-specific IgG antibody in identifying epidemic Omicron BA.5 strain infection.Method:Omicron BF.7/BA.5 naturally infected population, healthy population vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine, and Omicron BF.7/BA.5 breakthrough cases were enrolled into this study. The serum WT-S-IgG and BA.5-S-IgG were detected by indirect ELISA, and the serum-specific IgG antibody levels of different populations were compared. The application value of the two antibody titers and the ratio of the two antibodies in identifying Omicron BA.5 epidemic strain infection were explored by the ROC curve, aiming to provide technical support for pathogen diagnosis.Results:The antibody titers of WT-S-IgG and BA.5-S-IgG in the breakthrough cases were higher than those in the naturally infected population and the healthy population ( P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of WT-S-IgG and BA.5-S-IgG in identifying epidemic Omicron BA.5 strain infection was 0.947 and 0.961, respectively. The AUC of BA.5-S-IgG and WT-S-IgG antibody titer ratio was 0.873. When the antibody titer ratio was 0.855, the sensitivity and specificity were 80.00% and 90.00%, respectively. According to the interval since the last infection, the AUC of the ratio of BA.5-S-IgG to WT-S-IgG antibody titer to identify the infection of epidemic strains less than 30 days and more than 30 days was 0.887 and 0.863, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity were both above 80%. Conclusion:Both BA.5-S-IgG and WT-S-IgG, as well as the combination of these two antibodies, are of high value in the identification of epidemic strains.

Objective:To evaluate the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in long-term cognitive impairment induced by multiple exposures to sevoflurane anesthesia in neonatal rats.Methods:Seventy-five SPF healthy newborn Sprague-Dawley rats of either sex, aged 6 days, weighing 12-20 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), multiple exposures to sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S) and TLR4 inhibitor plus multiple exposures to sevoflurane anesthesia group (group I+ S). The rats in group S and group I inhaled 3% sevoflurane for 2 h at 6, 7 and 8 days after birth. TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected before each exposure to sevoflurane in group I, and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in the other two groups. The spontaneous activity was evaluated by open field test on day 29 after birth, and the cognitive function was assessed by Morris water maze test on days 30-34 after birth. After the behavioral test, the blood samples from the abdominal aorta were collected, and then the rats were sacrificed under deep anesthesia to isolate the hippocampal tissues for measurement of the levels of S100β and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in serum and hippocampal interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), expression of TLR4, NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) (by Western blot) and for microscopic examination of the pathological changes of hippocampal CA1 region after HE staining. Results:Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the TLR4 expression was up-regulated, the ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 was increased, the levels of serum S100β protein and NSE and hippocampal IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were increased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes in the hippocampal CA1 region were aggravated in group S. Compared with group S, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, TLR4 expression was down-regulated, the ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 was decreased, the levels of S100β and NSE in serum and hippocampal IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes in hippocampal CA1 area were significantly attenuated in group P. Conclusions:The mechanism by which multiple exposures to sevoflurane anesthesia induces long-term cognitive impairment is related to activation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and increase in hippocampal inflammatory responses in neonatal rats.
