ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze an outbreak of rotavirus infectious diarrhea in a prison in Chongqing Municipality, to provide a basis for adult rotavirus surveillance and prevention, and to explore the public health problems in special settings. MethodsA retrospective survey was conducted to collect and analyze data on individual cases with diarrheal disease on-site. The clinical characteristics, as well as the temporal, spatial and geographical distribution patterns of the epidemic were described. Multi-pathogen detection tests were conducted both on diarrhea cases and environmental samples, with viral genotyping performed on positive samples. A case-control analysis was performed to identify the causes of the outbreak, and an SEIR model was adopted to predict the outbreak trend and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. ResultsA total of 65 cases were found among the inmates, with an attack rate of 2.03%. The predominant clinical manifestations included diarrhea (89.23%), watery stool (73.85%), and dehydration (18.46%). The epidemic curve indicated a “human-to-human” transmission pattern, with an average incubation period of 5‒6 days. The attack rates among chefs in the main canteen (80.00%, 8/10) and caterers (28.33%, 17/60) were significantly higher than those of other inmates （P<0.05）. Multi-pathogen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing detected positive for group A rotavirus, with the viral genotyping identified as G9P [8] strain. Factors such as unprotected "bare-handed" food distribution among cases with diarrhea (OR=9.512, 95%CI: 4.261‒21.234) and close contact with diarrhea cases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.719‒7.778) were the possible cause of the outbreak. The SEIR model (r₀=5, α=0.3, β₁=0.08, β₂=0.04) was constructed using prison inmates as susceptible population, aiming at fitting the initial transmission trend of the outbreak, and the epidemic rate declined rapidly after intervention measures were implemented (r_t≈0). ConclusionThis rare rotavirus infection diarrhea outbreak among adults in confined settings suggests that the construction of public health prevention and control systems in prison may be overlooked. Cross infection during meal processing and distribution in the canteens of such settings is likely to be the cause of the outbreak. Given the potential neglect of public heath system construction in special settings, it is imperative to enhance the surveillance and monitoring of rotavirus and other intestinal multi-pathogens among adults, as well as the construction of public health prevention and control systems in these special settings.

Objective To analyze thestatus quo of comprehensive management services for community prevention and treatment of patients with severe mental impairment (SMI). Methods The clinical data of 630 patients with SMI in the hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The types of disease, demographic characteristics, assistance to registered patients, management and treatment of patients were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Chi-square test and chi-square segmentation were used for statistical inference. Results Among the 630 SMI patients, the ratio of male to female was 1:1.23, and patients were mainly distributed in 18-65 years old, more patients were with education level of primary school and junior high school, they were mainly farmers (21.90%) and laid-off or unemployed people (32.38%). Patients without family history accounted for 72.38% (456/630) and non-poor patients accounted for70.48% (444/630).The main types of SMI were schizophrenia (65.71%) and bipolar disorder (18.10%).The guardianship subsidy subjects accounted for89.52%,nearly 40.95% of the patients received the mental disability certificate, 82.86% of the patients were served by the care and assistance group, and 49.52% of the patients participated in community rehabilitation. The management rates of SMI patients in 2021, 2022, and 2023 were 97.14%, 99.05%, and 98.10% respectively. The standardized management rates were 96.19%, 96.19% and 97.14%, and the medication rates were 86.67%, 88.57% and 85.71%, and the regular medication rates were 79.05%, 81.90% and 80.95% respectively. Conclusion The prevention and treatment of schizophrenia-based serious mental illness has become an important task in this district. The overall management status of SMI is good, with a stable rate of management and standardized management of patients, but there is still a need to strengthen the management of the medication rate and the regularity of the medication rate of patients with serious mental illness, and at the same time, there is a need to intensify the publicity efforts on mental health and to increase the awareness of the prevention of the disease.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease caused by abnormal expression of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) on the cell membrane due to mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A(PIGA) gene. It is commonly characterized by intravascular hemolysis, repeated thrombosis, and bone marrow failure, as well as multiple systemic involvement symptoms such as renal dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, swallowing difficulties, chest pain, abdominal pain, and erectile dysfunction. Due to the rarity of PNH and its strong heterogeneity in clinical manifestations, multidisciplinary collaboration is often required for diagnosis and treatment. Peking Union Medical College Hospital, relying on the rare disease diagnosis and treatment platform, has invited multidisciplinary clinical experts to form a unified opinion on the diagnosis and treatment of PNH, and formulated the Expert Consensus of Multidisciplinary Diagnosis and Treatment for Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (2024), with the hope of promoting the standardization of PNH diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab monoclonal antibody combined with molecular-targeted therapy in elderly patients with unresectable or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the patients with unresectable/advanced HCC who attended six hospitals from January 1,2019 to March 31,2021,and all patients received camrelizumab monoclonal antibody treatment,among whom 84.8%also received targeted therapy.According to the age of the patients,they were divided into elderly group(≥65 years)and non-elderly group(＜65 years).The two groups were assessed in terms of overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),objective response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),and immune-related adverse events(irAE).The chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups;the independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data,and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups.The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis,and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival curves.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to determine the independent influencing factors for PFS and DCR at 6 months.Results A total of 99 HCC patients were enrolled,with 27 in the elderly group and 72 in the non-elderly group.The elderly group had an OS rate of 67.8%,an ORR of 44.4%,and a DCR of 74.1%at 12 months and a median PFS of 6.4(95%confidence interval[CI]:3.0-12.4)months,with no significant differences compared with the non-elderly group(all P＞0.05).The median OS was unavailable for the elderly group,while the non-elderly group had an OS of 18.9(95%CI:13.0-24.8)months;there was no significant difference between the two groups(P=0.485).The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that major vascular invasion(MVI)was an independent risk factor for PFS(hazard ratio[HR]=2.603,95%CI:1.136-5.964,P=0.024)and DCR(HR=3.963,95%CI:1.671-9.397,P=0.002)at 6 months,while age,sex,etiology of HBV infection,presence of extrahepatic metastasis,Child-Pugh class B,and alpha-fetoprotein＞400 ng/mL were not associated with PFS or DCR at 6 months.For the elderly group,the incidence rates of any irAE and grade 3/4 irAE were 51.9%and 25.9%,respectively,with no significant differences compared with the non-elderly group(P＞0.05),and skin disease was the most common irAE in both groups(39.4%).Conclusion Camrelizumab monoclonal antibody combined with molecular-targeted therapy has similar efficacy and safety in patients with unresectable/advanced HCC aged≥65 years and those aged＜65 years.MVI is associated with suboptimal response to immunotherapy and poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the effect of behavioral vision training on post-stroke ocular motility disorders(PSOMD). Methods From August to Octobor,2023,a total of 21 PSOMD patients in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were selected.They re-ceived behavioral vision training,including brain-based visual training and visual fusion training,for four weeks.Visual function was assessed with Snellen eye chart,strabismus prism and Titmus near stereopia. Results The vision of both right and left eyes improved after training(Z right eye=-3.601,Z left eye=3.012,P<0.01),while the strabismus prism reduced significantly(t=8.930,P<0.001).But Titmus near stereopia showed no difference(P>0.05). Conclusion Behavioral vision training could improve vision and strabismus after stroke.

Originating but free from chromosomal DNA, extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) are organized in circular form and have long been found in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes. Their biogenesis and function are poorly understood as they are characterized by sequence homology with linear DNA, for which few detection methods are available. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have revealed that eccDNAs play crucial roles in tumor formation, evolution, and drug resistance as well as aging, genomic diversity, and other biological processes, bringing it back to the research hotspot. Several mechanisms of eccDNA formation have been proposed, including the breakage-fusion-bridge (BFB) and translocation-deletion-amplification models. Gynecologic tumors and disorders of embryonic and fetal development are major threats to human reproductive health. The roles of eccDNAs in these pathological processes have been partially elucidated since the first discovery of eccDNA in pig sperm and the double minutes in ovarian cancer ascites. The present review summarized the research history, biogenesis, and currently available detection and analytical methods for eccDNAs and clarified their functions in gynecologic tumors and reproduction. We also proposed the application of eccDNAs as drug targets and liquid biopsy markers for prenatal diagnosis and the early detection, prognosis, and treatment of gynecologic tumors. This review lays theoretical foundations for future investigations into the complex regulatory networks of eccDNAs in vital physiological and pathological processes.

Objective:To discuss the effect of oridonin on the proliferation,migration,epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),and apoptosis of the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma HONE-1 cells,and to clarify its related antitumor mechanism.Methods:The HONE-1 cells were treated with different concentrations(0,5,10,20,40,80,and 160 mg·L-1)of oridonin for 48 h.CCK-8 method was used to detect the inhibitory rates of proliferation of the cells in various groups and the drug concentration for subsequent experiment was confirmed.The HONE-1 cells were divided into control group,3 mg·L-1 oridonin group,and 6 mg·L-1 oridonin group.After 24 and 48 h of culture,CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation activities of the cells in various groups;5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)method was used to detect the rates of EdU-positive cells in various groups;colony formation assay was used to detect the numbers of clone formation in the cells in various groups;Transwell chamber experiment and cell wound assay were used to detect the numbers of migration cells and the scratch healing rates of the cells in various groups;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of cyclin-dependent kinase 1(CDK1)and cyclin-dependent kinase 4(CDK4)mRNA in the cells in various groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of E-cadherin,Vimentin,Caspase-3,and poly ADP-ribose polymerase 1(PARP1)proteins in the cells in various groups.Results:The CCK-8 method results showed that the half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of oridonin at 48 h was 12.18 mg·L-1,and 1/4 IC50 and 1/2 IC50 values were used as the concentrations for subsequent experiments.Compared with control group,after treated for 24 and 48 h,the proliferation activities of the cells in 3 and 6 mg·L-1 oridonin groups were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),the rate of EdU-positive cells were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),the numbers of clone formation and migraton cells were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),the scratch healing rates were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),the expression levels of CDK1 and CDK4 mRNA in the cells were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),the expression levels of E-cadherin,Caspase-3,and PARP1 proteins were increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and the expression levels of Vimentin protein were decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Oridonin can inhibit the proliferation,clone formation,and migration of the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma HONE-1 cells by downregulating the expression of cell cycle-related proteins and EMT,and promote the apoptosis to exert an antitumor effect.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for strengthening the standardized management of off-label drug use in cancer hospitals. METHODS The evaluation system for off-label drug use was established to standardize the application， approval， and filing process for off-label drug use in our hospital. The changes in off-label drug application quantity， proportion， disease category and drug category in our hospital were compared before （October 1st， 2021-September 30th， 2022） and after （October 1st， 2022- September 30th， 2023） the establishment of the evaluation system； drug items supported by high-level evidence screened by pharmacy department were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The number of off-label drug use applications in our hospital had gradually increased， from 306 pieces in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3 828 pieces in the third quarter of 2023. In the year before the construction of the evaluation system， there were a total of 4 482 applications for off-label drug use， and in the year after the construction of the evaluation system， there were 11 840 applications for off-label drug use. After the construction of the evaluation system， the proportion of unregistered off-label drug use significantly decreased， compared to the same period last year （P＜0.05）. Among them， there were no unregistered applications for off-label drug use for digestive system tumors， head and neck tumors， and radioactive drugs； lymphoma， breast tumors，urogenital system tumors， cytotoxic drugs and new anti-tumor drugs all had a decrease of over 70% in unregistered off-label drug applications. Twenty-seven off-label drug use items related to 19 drugs supported by high-level evidence were screened by the pharmacy department of our hospital， among which 25 items were drug use beyond indication. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of off-label drug use evaluation system in cancer hospital is helpful to the rational use and refined management of clinical anti-tumor drugs.

Objective:To gain a deep understanding of the current cognition and training needs of nursing undergraduates regarding their emergency response teamwork skills, and to provide reference for the development of courses on emergency response teamwork among nursing undergraduates.Methods:From September to October 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 15 senior nursing undergraduates from Peking Union Medical College, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and Beijing City University as subjects for semi-structured interviews. Colazizzi 7-step analysis method was used to summarize and extract themes.Results:Three themes were extracted, including insufficient cognition and skill in emergency response, lack of emergency response teamwork cultivation, and the need for systematic and comprehensive training courses.Conclusions:Universities, hospitals, and other training institutions should work together to develop a systematic emergency response teamwork training course for nursing undergraduates, to cultivate the skills of nursing undergraduates and reserve talents for high-quality emergency response nursing teams.

Aim To investigate the effects of ber-bamine on behavioral changes in LPS-induced chronic neuroinflammation model mice and the related mecha-nisms.Methods By injecting lipopolysaccharide in-traperitoneally for seven days in a row,berbamine was given intraperitoneally as a treatment;the behavioral studies of mice in each group were identified;Nissen staining was used to observe the changes in the patho-logical morphology of the mouse hippocampus and the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins.These procedures established a mouse neuroinflamma-tion model.Results The number of neurons in the model group's hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions was significantly smaller than that in the control group.In the water maze experiment,as the number of training days grew,the model group's escape latency increased and its retention time in the target quadrant dropped.The immobilization period of the model group mice in-creased during the forced swimming exercise.Serum levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α levels were also higher.The hippocampus tis-sue of the mice in the model group had higher levels of NLRP3,ASC,caspase-1,IL-18,ROCK1,ROCK2 ex-pression,and RHOA.When compared to the model group,the administration of berbamine was a therapy intervention.In the meantime,with the number of training days increased,the target quadrant lag time increased and the escape latency gradually decreased.Additionally,the model group's mice spent less time resting during forced swimming,and the serum inflam-matory factors TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 decreased in mouse hippocampal tissues.Lastly,the expression lev-els of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC,IL-1β,ROCK1,ROCK2,and RHOA all decreased in mouse hippocam-pal tissue.Conclusions The mechanism of action of berbamine,which improves lipopolysaccharide-induced depressive-like behaviors and modifies learning memory in mice,may include the NLRP3 and RHOA/ROCK signaling pathways.
