Abstract Respiratory diseases represent prevalent conditions that pose a significant threat to public health. The pathogenesis of these diseases is complex involving a variety of cells and cytokines. Cell culture technology serves as a fundamental tool for investigating pathological mechanisms and drug efficacy. However, traditional monolayer cell culture fail to mimic the intricate cell-cell interactions, limiting its applicability. In contrast, cell co-culture offers a more physiologically relevant approach by closely mimicking the multicellular microenvironment. This advancement provides a robust model for elucidating pathological pathways and evaluating pharmacological interventions in respiratory diseases. In this review, the applications of cell co-culture technologies in common respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, asthma, and pneumonia are summarized, in order to propose strategies for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Objective: To explore the association between vitamin D levels and sleep in children and adolescents，so as to provide a reference for promoting the sleep health of children and adolescents. Methods: From October to December, 2021, 4 827 primary and middle school students aged 6-17 in Shenzhen were selected by multistage cluster random sampling method, and their demographic information, family background, lifestyle and sleep status were obtained by facetoface questionnaire survey, and their fasting venous blood in the morning was collected to detect the serum 25(OH)D level. The relationship between serum vitamin D level and sleep characteristics was analyzed by binary Logistic regression, and stratified analysis was carried out according to gender. Results: The proportion of vitamin D deficiency was 41.1%, and the proportion of sleep deficiency was 19.4%. With the increase of vitamin D level, daily sleep duration of children and adolescents tended to increase (r=0.10,P<0.01). After adjusting for covariates such as gender and age, it was found that children and adolescents with insufficient vitamin D levels were more likely to experience sleep insufficiency, social jetlag, and late sleep on weekdays, with ORs being 1.32(95%CI=1.12-1.56), 1.35(95%CI=1.19-1.54), and 1.26(95%CI=1.05-1.52)(P<0.05). Sexstratified analysis showed that, among boys, vitamin D deficiency was associated with sleep deficiency, social jetlag, and late bedtime on weekdays and weekends[OR(95%CI)=1.42(1.14-1.77),1.25(1.04-1.49),1.39(1.06-1.82),1.86(1.19-2.92),P<0.05]. In girls, however, serum vitamin D levels were only associated with social jetlag with OR being 1.47 (95%CI=1.21-1.79, P<0.05). Conclusion Vitamin D levels are associated with various sleep characteristics in children and adolescents, with this association being more pronounced among boys.

Objective:To prepare aldolylated hyaluronic acid-modified antimicrobial carbon dots (AHA-CDs) eye drops and evaluate its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo. Methods:AHA-CDs eye drops were synthesized by modifying small particle size positively charged carbon dots and introducing aldehyde-based hyaluronic acid.The AHA-CDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The antibacterial activity of AHA-CDs against Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated using the microdilution method, plate counting, and live-dead bacteria fluorescence staining in vitro.The mouse bacterial keratitis model was established by removing the corneal epithelium after ring drilling and inoculating Staphylococcus aureus.Eighteen conventional female C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected and divided into a blank control group, an AHA-CDs-treated group and a tobramycin-treated group of 6 mice each using random number table method, and the mice were treated with phosphate buffer saline, 80 μg/ml AHA-CDs, and 80 μg/ml tobramycin eye drops three times daily for 5 consecutive days accordingly to assess antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus in vivo.Another 12 mice were divided into an AHA-CDs group and a normal control group using the random number table method, with 6 mice in each group, which were treated with 80 μg/ml AHA-CDs and phosphate buffer saline for 7 days.The mice were then sacrificed.Their eyeballs were removed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin to observe and compare the morphology and integrity of the eyeballs between the two groups to evaluate the treatment's biosafety.The use and care of the animals complied with the principles of the ARRIVE guidelines.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Experimental Animal Care of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECA-2022-17). Results:The successful preparation of AHA-CDs was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In vitro studies showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration of AHA-CDs against Staphylococcus aureus was approximately 8 μg/ml, which effectively inhibited bacterial growth at a lower concentration.Plate counting results showed that only 20% of the bacteria survived after 10 minutes of treatment with AHA-CDs.Fluorescence staining of live/dead bacteria showed obvious red fluorescence signals after 4 hours of treatment with AHA-CDs and SP-CDs. In vivo studies showed that, after 5 days of treatment with AHA-CDs eye drops, the corneas of mice with bacterial keratitis were obviously transparent, and the corneal epithelium was basically repaired.In contrast, the tobramycin-treated group exhibited incomplete epithelial repair and mild corneal edema. In vivo safety evaluation revealed that the eye tissue morphology remained intact and no structural abnormalities were observed after AHA-CDs treatment. Conclusions:AHA-CDs eye drops have superior antibacterial effects in vivo and in vitro, and inactivate bacteria rapidly and effectively.

ObjectiveBased on modern analytical techniques and a depressed mouse model established by chronic unpredictable mild stress（CUMS）， to evaluate the quality marker（Q-Marker） and pharmacodynamic difference of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by different processes. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was used to establish the characteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang， and determine the content of Q-Marker in the samples prepared by ancient and modern processes. Seventy C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group， model group， fluoxetine group（3 mg·kg^-1）， low and high dose groups of ancient process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， and low and high dose groups of modern process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal group， CUMS was used to induce depression in mice from the other groups for 28 d. After successful modeling， administration groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage every day， and the normal and model groups were given an equal volume of pure water by gavage for 21 consecutive days. Change in body mass of mice was recorded， tail suspension test and open field test were used to evaluate the depressive behavior of mice， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was employed to determine the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-1β and IL-6 in serum. ResultsCharacteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes were established， the similarity between the two was 0.951， and 8 characteristic peaks were recognized with the reference peak of regaloside A. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the Q-Marker content was similar in Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by ancient and modern processes. The results of pharmacodynamics showed that， compared with the normal group， the model group showed increased immobility time in the tail suspension test， reduced total movement distance in the open field test， and elevated IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the serum（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the behavioral indicators of mice in the Baihe Dihuangtang treatment group were significantly improved in terms of tail suspension time and open field exercise， and the levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes both had antidepressant effects， and the difference between the two was not statistically significant in improving depressive symptoms. ConclusionQ-Marker of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by modern and ancient methods are equivalent in content， and the pharmacological effects are consistent， indicating that dried Lilii Bulbus can replace fresh products in the preparation of Baihe Dihuangtang. This study provides a scientific basis for the development of new drugs of Baihe Dihuangtang and a reference for its rational application and clinical use.

Baihe Dihuangtang is a famous classical formula that has been respected by physicians in the past and is still used today. It was first recorded in ZHANG Zhongjing's Synopsis of the Golden Chamber， and is composed of Lilii Bulbus and Rehmanniae Radix juice. This paper systematically reviewed the research progress of historical evolution， pharmacological activities and clinical applications of Baihe Dihuangtang in recent years， and found that there was no major changes in the composition， decoction method and indications of this formula since the Han dynasty. According to the herbal textual research， the fleshy scaly leaves of Lilium brownii var. viridulum should be selected for Lilii Bulbus in this formula， and the tuberous roots of Rehmannia glutinosa were selected for Rehmanniae Radix. According to the dosage conversion of ancient and modern times， the dosage is 245 g of fresh Lilii Bulbus and 400 g of fresh Rehmanniae Radix， and the ratio of their juice is 1∶1. Its efficacy is to nourish Yin and clear heat， and to tonify the heart and lungs， which is used to treat the heart and lung Yin deficiency syndrome of lily disease. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the research on the pharmacological effects of Baihe Dihuangtang mainly focuses on anti-depressant， anti-anxiety， improving insomnia and regulating metabolism， and it is mostly used clinically for neurological disorders such as depression， anxiety and insomnia. The quality marker（Q-Marker） of Baihe Dihuangtang were predicted according to the principles of ingredient specificity， component validity， component measurability， formula compatibility， and quality transmissibility and traceability， and it was determined that catalpol， rhmannioside D， regaloside A， regaloside B， regaloside C， and acteoside could be selected as potential Q-Markers of Baihe Dihuangtang， which could provide scientific reference for the establishment of the quality control system and the development of compound preparation of this famous classical formula.

Objective: To understand and assess the current situation of primary and secondary school students health services in community health service organizations in Shenzhen, so as to provide a basis for upgrading the capacity of health services. Methods: A total of 684 community health service organizations and 587 part time health vice principals in the Shenzhen City were selected for the study in June 2022, and the special questionnaire surveys regarding primary and secondary school students health service capacity and the community health service organizations and part time health vice principals performance ability were administered in Shenzhen. SPSS 26.0 software was used for a descriptive analysis. Results: The staffing rate of general practitioners or clinical physicians in Shenzhen s community health service organizations was 99.9%, 67.1% of community health service organizations established counterpart collaborative relationships with schools, 50.8% of community health service organizations provided diagnostic and treatment services for students, 24.8% of community health service organizations provided health check up services for students, 85.2% of community health service organizations provided health guidance to schools, and 94.3% of community health service organizations had a part time vice principal of health with a score of (7.63±1.59) in the self assessment of their ability to carry out their duties, and space constraints and shortage of nursing were the main problems in promoting student medical check ups in the community health service organizations. Conclusions The community health service organizations in Shenzhen suffer from inadequate medical service resources and inadequate training for professional staff, resulting in low service capacity for providing physical examinations and health management for primary and secondary school students. There is a need to further promote the integrated development of education and health, and continuously enhance service capabilities, to promote the orderly development of student health work.
