Background Meteorological factors are among the key extrinsic triggers for the onset and exacerbation of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD). Against the backdrop of sustained global warming, elucidating the impact of ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure on CVD, especially on pre-hospital CVD emergent events, has become imperative for evidence-based prevention and emergency preparedness. Objective To quantify the temporal trends of daily mean temperature and atmospheric pressure and their associations with pre-hospital CVD emergent events in Yantai, and to explore effect modification by demographic subgroups and geographic areas, thereby providing an empirical basis for the rational allocation of emergency medical resources. Methods Pre-hospital CVD emergency data from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022 were selected from the Yantai 120 Emergency Medical Command System. Synchronous meteorological factors and environmental pollutant data were obtained from the websites of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Centers for Environmental Information of the United States. Time-series analysis combined with distributed lag non-linear model was used to analyze the association between daily temperature, atmospheric pressure, and pre-hospital CVD emergencies. Average annual percentage changes (AAPC) were calculated using Joinpoint (version 5.2.0.0) to reflect temporal trends. Spearman correlation analysis was employed to screen variables with low collinearity for inclusion in the multi-pollutant adjusted models. Results From 2016 to 2022, a total of 268275 pre-hospital CVD emergency cases were recorded in Yantai City, showing an increasing annual trend (AAPC=7.16%, P=0.002). Emergency volume, daily temperature, atmospheric pressure, and PM₁₀ displayed marked seasonal patterns, with summer bottoms and winter peaks for emergencies, daily temperature higher in summer and lower in winter, and the inverse for atmospheric pressure. Correlation analysis showed that both daily temperature and atmospheric pressure were positively correlated with O₃, with correlation coefficients of 0.745 and 0.723, respectively; negatively correlated with PM_2.5, with correlation coefficients of −0.246 and −0.235, respectively; and negatively correlated with PM₁₀, with correlation coefficients of −0.241 and −0.229, respectively (P < 0.05). A U-shaped correlation was revealed between daily temperature and pre-hospital CVD emergency risk. Using 24 °C as the reference, risk was elevated at both low and high daily temperatures, with the strongest cold effect at –11 ℃ (RR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.35, 1.73) and strongest heat effect at 30 ℃ (RR=1.06, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.11); cold effects were prolonged (lag0–14d) compared to heat effects. Atmospheric pressure exhibited a positive association with emergencies; using a median of 1012.2 hPa as the reference, the maximum risk occurred at 1037 hPa (RR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.52), with a 0–5 d lag. In the subgroup analysis, the impact of low temperature was more pronounced among females (RR_{−9 ℃}=1.66), people over 60 years (RR_{−9 ℃}=1.91), and rural residents (RR_{−9 ℃}=1.76). High atmospheric pressure significantly increased the risk of pre-hospital CVD emergency among females (RR_{1035 hPa}=1.54), people under 18 years (RR_{1035 hPa}=3.62), and rural residents (RR_{1035 hPa}=1.46). The sensitivity analysis results indicated that, after excluding the impact of pandemic and the degrees of freedom for time variations, the effects of daily average temperature and atmospheric pressure on pre-hospital CVD emergency volume were consistent with the primary analysis findings. Conclusion Both non-optimal temperature and atmospheric pressure significantly increase the pre-hospital CVD emergency volume; therefore, emergency medical services should develop targeted response protocols, optimize resource allocation, and intensify public health education to mitigate the pre-hospital burden attributable to temperature and pressure fluctuations.

Objective To analyze the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of and trends in the disease burden of dengue fever in China from 2005 to 2024, so as to provide insights into formulation of dengue fever control strategies. Methods Data pertaining to dengue fever cases in China from 2005 to 2024 were retrieved from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and city population, gross domestic product (GDP), GDP per capita, and consumer price index in China were captured from the China Statistical Yearbook, National Bureau of Statistics of China, the China City Statistical Yearbook, and bureaus of statistics in each city. The disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) due to dengue fever were calculated in China from 2005 to 2024. The direct and indirect economic burdens of dengue fever were estimated to calculate the total economic burden. The trends in the disease burden of dengue fever were estimated in China from 2005 to 2024 using a Joinpoint regression model with the software Joinpoint 4.9.0.0, and the average annual percent change (AAPC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. In addition, the DALYs rate and economic burden of dengue fever in China were subjected to global and local spatial autocorrelation analyses using the software ArcGIS 10.8. Results The gross DALYs due to dengue fever were 5 558 person-years in China from 2005 to 2024, and the DALYs of dengue fever increased from 36 person-years in 2005 to 899 person-years in 2024, with an increase of 23.97 folds. The average annual DALYs rate of dengue fever was 0.02 person-years/10⁵ in China during the 20-year study period from 2005 to 2024, and the DALYs rate peaked in 2014 (0.13 person-years/10⁵) and reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. YLDs were the main contributor of DALYs due to dengue fever in China from 2005 to 2024, with a total of 5 354 person-years, accounting for 96.33% (5 354 person-years/5 558 person-years) of the gross DALYs. The gross DALYs of dengue fever were 2 982 person-years among men (53.66%) and 2 575 person-years among women (46.34%) in China from 2005 to 2024, and high DALYs of dengue fever were measured among residents at ages of 15 to 30 years (1 639 person-years), 30 to 45 years (1 857 person-years), and 45 to 60 years (1 204 person-years), respectively, accounting for 84.56% (4 700 person-years/5 558 person-years) of total DALYs due to dengue fever in China. The total economic burden of dengue fever was estimated to be 612 million Yuan in China from 2005 to 2024, with an average annual economic burden of 30.584 million Yuan. The economic burden of dengue fever increased from 196 000 Yuan in 2005 to 121 million Yuan in 2024 in China, with an increase of 616.35 folds, and the per capita economic burden increased from 3 322.21 Yuan in 2005 to 4 940.01 Yuan in 2024, with an increase of 48.70%. Dengue fever cases were reported in 274 cities (counties) across 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China from 2005 to 2024, with relatively higher DALYs in Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province. Spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed that the disease burden of dengue fever appeared positive aggregation in Chinese cities (counties) from 2005 to 2024 (global Moran’s I = 0.045, Z = 2.24, P < 0.05), with high-high clusters mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong Province and Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and Pu’er City in Yunnan Province, and the total economic burden (global Moran’s I = 0.032, Z = 9.55, P < 0.001), per capita economic burden (global Moran’s I = 0.208, Z = 27.34, P < 0.001), and the proportion of total economic burdens in GDP in 2024 (global Moran’s I = 0.017, Z = 5.91, P < 0.001) all presented positive aggregation, with relatively higher total economic burdens mainly concentrated in Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the gross DALYs rates of dengue fever appeared an overall tendency towards a rise in China from 2005 to 2024 (AAPC = 16.24%, P = 0.029), and the DALYs rate presented an overall tendency towards a rise among both men (AAPC = 14.75%, P = 0.028) and women (AAPC = 14.93%, P = 0.037) during the study period. The per capita direct economic burden appeared an overall tendency towards a rise among dengue fever patients in China from 2005 to 2024 (AAPC = 2.16%, P = 0.012); however, there was no significant difference in the trends in the per capita indirect economic burden (AAPC = 0.46%, P = 0.470). In addition, the DALYs rate of dengue fever appeared a tendency towards a rise in 84.67% (232/274) of cities (counties) in China from 2005 to 2024, and the per capita economic burden appeared a tendency towards a rise in 85.40% (234/274) of cities (counties), while the DALYs rate and per capita economic burden of dengue fever appeared a tendency towards a rise in 77.01% (211/274) of cities (counties). Conclusions The disease burden of dengue fever significantly increased in China from 2005 to 2024. It is recommended to reinforce integrated dengue fever control in high-risk areas and among high-risk populations, and to improve the surveillance of imported dengue fever cases and vector control.

ObjectiveTo establish the mouse models of psoriasis-like lesions induced by continuous cold exposure or intermittent cold exposure combined with imiquimod （IMQ）， and to evaluate the interventional effects of Kaixuan Jiedu core prescription （KXJD） on the two models. MethodsMale C57BL/6J mice were selected and classified into two experimental batches. The first batch of 36 mice was randomized into a room temperature group， a continuous cold exposure （10 ℃/24 h） group， and an intermittent cold exposure （10 ℃/6 h） group. Each group was further divided into a normal subgroup and a model subgroup （topical application of IMQ to induce skin lesions）， with 6 mice in each subgroup， for modeling and evaluation. The second batch of 54 mice， with 6 in each group， were subjected to the same temperature grouping with an additional KXJD （30.42 g·kg^-1， continuous gavage for 5 days） group. Comprehensive evaluation of model characteristics and KXJD efficacy was conducted through Psoriasis Area and Severity Index （PASI） scoring， skin temperature measurement by infrared thermography， histopathological observation by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， detection of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 （CD31） by immunohistochemistry， detection of Claudin-1 and Occludin by immunofluorescence assay， determination of serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin （IL）-10 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and quantification of mRNA levels of IL-17A， IL-23， IL-6， and chemokine ligand 20 （CCL20） in skin lesions by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsModel mice in all temperature groups exhibited typical psoriasis-like skin lesions. Compared with the normal groups， the model groups showed increased PASI scores， decreased skin temperatures （P<0.05）， obvious epidermal thickening， parakeratosis， and dermal inflammatory cell infiltration， as well as elevated mRNA levels of IL-17A， IL-23， IL-6， and CCL20 （P<0.05）. Cold exposure further aggravated psoriasis. The total PASI score of the intermittent cold exposure model group was higher than that of the room temperature model group （P<0.05）. The serum IL-10 did not show a compensatory elevation， and the blood vessels presented a characteristic of elevated CD31 expression （P<0.05） without a synchronous increase in VEGF. The continuous cold exposure model group exhibited more significant dermal capillary tortuosity and dilation， with the highest mRNA levels of IL-17A， IL-23， IL-6， and CCL20 among all groups. Compared with the respective model groups， KXJD intervention alleviated skin lesions， reduced epidermal thickness and inflammatory cell infiltration， and increased skin temperature， with the temperature increase being particularly significant in the intermittent cold exposure+KXJD group （P<0.05）. Furthermore， KXJD down-regulated the expression of VEGF and CD31， restored the expression of Claudin-1 and Occludin， decreased the mRNA levels of IL-17A and IL-23 （P<0.05）， and reduced the serum TNF-α level. ConclusionThis study successfully established compound psoriasis-like mouse models induced by cold exposure combined with IMQ. It confirms that cold aggravates the severity of psoriasis by exacerbating the closure of Xuanfu （sweat pores）， microcirculation disorders， and immune imbalance. Moreover， different cold exposure patterns have distinct mechanism differences. Continuous cold exposure focuses on enhancing the inflammatory response via the IL-23/IL-17 axis and angiogenesis， simulating chronic aggravation under a long-term cold environment. Intermittent cold exposure tends to impair immune regulation and induce microvascular endothelial stress， corresponding to acute exacerbations caused by sudden temperature drops. KXJD can effectively alleviate psoriasis-like skin lesions under cold conditions by unblocking Xuanfu， regulating vasomotor function， and correcting abnormal immune-inflammatory responses.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ameliorative effect and potential mechanisms of Kaixuan Jiedu core prescription （KXJD） on imiquimod （IMQ）-combined restraint stress-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions in mice. MethodsA total of 36 C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to six groups （n=6 per group）： Normal group， restraint stress blank group， model group， restraint stress model group， KXJD group （30.42 g·kg^-1）， and methotrexate group （0.001 g·kg^-1）. Psoriasis-like lesions were induced by topical IMQ application combined with restraint stress. After 5 days of intervention， the severity of skin lesions was evaluated using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index （PASI）. The following parameters were assessed： Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis-related hormones， including adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）， corticotropin-releasing hormone （CRH）， and corticosterone （CORT）， central neuronal markers， including neuronal nuclei antigen （NeuN）， microtubule-associated protein 2 （MAP2）， and beta Ⅲ-tubulin （β-Ⅲ tubulin）， microglial activation markers， including ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1 （Iba-1） and cluster of differentiation 11b （CD11b）， and skin nerve fiber markers， including protein gene product 9.5 （PGP9.5） and serotonin （5-HT）， as well as the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1 beta （IL-1β）. ResultsCompared with the normal group， both the model group and the restraint stress model group exhibited more severe psoriasis-like skin lesions， with significantly elevated serum levels of ACTH， CRH， and CORT （P<0.01）. The expression of glucocorticoid receptor （GR） and corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 （CRHR1） in the skin was significantly downregulated. The expression of NeuN， MAP2， β-Ⅲ tubulin， Iba-1， and CD11b in the hypothalamus and hippocampus was significantly upregulated， suggesting abnormal changes in neuronal number or structure and aberrant activation of glial cells （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， the expression of PGP9.5 and 5-HT in the skin， as well as the mRNA levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β were all markedly elevated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the restraint stress model group showed further exacerbation in most parameters. Compared with the restraint stress model group， the KXJD group exhibited significantly reduced PASI scores （P<0.01）， significantly decreased serum CRH， ACTH， and CORT levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， upregulated skin GR and CRHR1 expression， inhibited abnormal neuronal changes and microglial activation in the hypothalamus and hippocampus， attenuated skin nerve fiber hyperplasia and amine signaling molecule release， and significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionKaixuan Jiedu Core prescription can effectively ameliorate IMQ combined with restraint stress-induced psoriasis-like skin lesions in mice by modulating HPA axis function， inhibiting central neuropathological changes， and attenuating skin nerve fiber hyperplasia， amine signaling molecule （5‑HT） release and local inflammatory responses.

Purpose To investigate the expression of semaphorin 5 A(SEMA5A)and programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1)and their clinicopathological significance in gastric cancer.Methods Clinical data of 41 cases of gastric cancer tissues and paired adjacent tissues were collected.Immunohistochemical staining and RT-qPCR were used to de-tect the expression levels of SEMA5A and PD-L1,and analysed the correlation between SEMA5A and PD-L1 and clini-copathological features.In addition,we used lentivirus to construct SEMA5A stable low-expression cell lines.RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to analyse the correlation between the expression of SEMA5A and PD-L1 in gastric cancer tissues.Results The high expression rate of SEMA5A was 65.9％(27/41)in gastric cancer tissues and 39.0％(16/41)in paracancerous tissues,respectively.The positive rates of PD-L1 were 58.5％(24/41)and 14.6％(6/41),respectively.RT-qPCR showed that the relative expression levels of SEMA5A mRNA in gastric cancer and paracancerous tissues were 1.30±0.50 and 0.81±0.48,respectively,while the relative expression levels of PD-L1 mRNA were 0.70±0.42 and 0.12±0.09,respectively.SEMA5A expression was correlated with histological typ-ing of gastric cancer and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).PD-L1 expression was correlated with tumour size,T stage,and pathological stage of gastric cancer(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the expression of SEMA5A and PD-L1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues,and spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the expression of the two in paracancerous tissues.Knockdown of SE-MA5A gene in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines resulted in down-regulation of PD-L1 expression.Conclusion Both SEMA5A and PD-L1 are highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues,and there is a correlation between the ex-pressions of SEMA5A and PD-L1.They can serve as potential molecular markers for prognostic evaluation and combi-nation therapy of gastric cancer.

Background and Aims:Early-onset extensive emphysematous pancreatitis(EP)is a rare but highly lethal subtype of infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN),characterized by abrupt onset and rapid deterioration.This study aimed to investigate its clinical characteristics,microbiological spectrum,treatment approaches,and outcomes to provide evidence for early identification and timely intervention.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 305 IPN patients treated at Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,from January 2010 to October 2023.Eight patients who developed gas accumulation involving≥50%of pancreatic or peripancreatic necrosis within two weeks of onset were defined as early-onset extensive EP.Their clinical data were compared with those of ordinary IPN patients.Results:Early-onset extensive EP accounted for 2.6%of all IPN cases.The early-onset extensive EP group had significantly higher mortality and multiple organ failure rates compared with the ordinary IPN group(75.0%vs.24.6%and 75.0%vs.34.7%,respectively;both P<0.05).A total of 15 microbial isolates were identified from early-onset extensive EP patients,predominantly Klebsiella pneumoniae(62.5%)and Escherichia coli(37.5%).The infection rate of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE)was markedly higher in the EP group than in the ordinary IPN group(75.0%vs.31.1%,P=0.015).Most patients were treated using a step-up approach based on percutaneous catheter drainage,with no significant difference in treatment strategy between the two groups(P=0.625).Conclusion:Early-onset extensive EP represents a rare and fulminant subtype of IPN with extremely poor outcomes.Klebsiella pneumoniae and CRE are the predominant pathogens.Early radiological evaluation and timely intervention are crucial for improving prognosis in these patients.

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of inflix-imab in the maintenance of Perianal fstulizing Crohn's disease.METHODS:The clinical data of 24 patients with perianal fistula Crohn's disease(PFCD)treated with infliximab(IFX)in the Depart-ment of Anorectal Surgery of our hospital from No-vember 2020 to October 2023 were retrospectively collected.The clinical efficacy and safety were eval-uated by observing the clinical characteristics for 54 weeks.The fistula remission rate,clinical remis-sion rate,and endoscopic remission rate of pa-tients were calculated.The changes of laboratory indexes before and after treatment were recorded.Logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of fistula remission.All adverse reactions oc-curred during IFX treatment were recorded.RE-SULTS:After 54 weeks of IFX treatment,the fistula remission rate,clinical remission rate,and endo-scopic remission rate were 37.5％,45.83％,and 33.33％,respectively.Fistula response at 14 weeks of treatment(OR=19.419,95％CI:1.267-297.559,P=0.033)was predictive factors for fistula remission at 54 weeks of treatment.The inflammatory index-es and nutritional indexes were significantly im-proved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.01).The scores of PDAI,CDAI and SES-CD were significantly different from those before treatment(P＜0.01).Five patients(20.83％)had adverse reac-tions,and the symptoms disappeared or improved after symptomatic treatment,and no patient had serious adverse reactions.CONCLUSION:IFX can ef-fectively promote the closure of PFCD fistula,im-prove the chronic inflammatory reaction of intesti-nal mucosa,alleviate clinical symptoms,and im-prove the quality of life of patients.IFX is effective and safe for PFCD maintenance treatment.

The aim of this research was to investigate the mechanism of chelidonine on H2 O2-in-duced inflammatory injury in porcine intestinal epithelial cells(IPEC-J2)through transcriptome sequencing.IPEC-J2 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into the blank group(K group),H2O2 group(S group)and chelidonine group(L group),with three replicates in each group.Total RNA was isolated from each group for the purpose of constructing a sequencing li-brary.The assembled data underwent functional annotation,differential gene analysis,as well as GO and KEGG enrichment analyses.qPCR was used to confirm the expression of key differentially expressed genes(DEGs),and ELISA was utilized to assess the effect of chelidonine on the permea-bility of IPEC-J2 cells.The results indicated that the sequencing data met the necessary criteria and demonstrated a strong correlation between samples.The GO functional annotation results suggest that the intervention effects of chelidonine involve biological processes such as oxidative stress re-sponse and G2/M phase transition regulation of the mitotic cycle,and are closely associated with molecular functions,such as transmembrane transport activity.The KEGG enrichment analysis indicates that following H2 O2 treatment,DEGs in IPEC-J2 cells are predominantly enriched in the p53 signaling pathway,the coagulation cascade,the FoxO signaling pathway,and various other sig-naling pathways.Following pretreatment with chelidonine,the DEGs exhibit significant enrichment in several signaling pathways related to inflammation,including the TNF signaling pathway,syn-aptic vesicle cycle,and IL-17 signaling pathway.The results of qPCR were consistent with the se-quencing results.Chelidonine has also been found to effectively inhibit LDH release,elevate GLN content,and decrease DOA content.In conclusion,it can be seen that chelidonine can reduce cell permeability and alleviate H2 O2-induced inflammatory injury in IPEC-J2 cells by modulating in-flammation-related pathways such as the TNF signaling pathway.
