Objective To analyze the trend of global cellulitis disease burden from 1990 to 2019, and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of cellulitis disease. Methods The Global Burden of Disease 2021 (GBD2021) data were collected, and data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) of cellulitis were analyzed for each country worldwide. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and age-standardized rate (ASR) were used to estimate the trend change of cellulitis from 1990 to 2021. Results The global burden of cellulitis increased significantly in 2021, with 55.96 million cases, 28.9 million deaths and 876.1 million DALYs, respectively. Incidence and mortality rates were generally higher in males than in females. The incidence and DALYs were higher in high SDI regions, with the highest burden observed in South Asia. In contrast, East Asia exhibited the lowest burden and demonstrated a declining trend. There were significant differences between countries, with India having the highest prevalence, the United States having the highest incidence, and Bahrain having the fastest growing rate.In 2021, China had the lowest age-standardised incidence of cellulitis in the world and the fastest declining age-standardised incidence and age-standardised DALYs. Conclusion The global disease burden of cellulitis is increasing from 1990-2021, and cellulitis remains an an important global public health problem. Targeted preventive meausres should be taken in areas with different economical levels. Men, middle-aged and elderly people, and newborns are the key groups in need of attention and health education.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA(miR)-143-3p and signal transduction and transcriptional activator protein(STAT)3 in serum of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and its clinical significance.Methods A total of 110 HCC patients admitted to Rugao People's Hospital from Jan-uary 2022 to February 2023 were selected as HCC group,and 40 healthy people who underwent physical ex-amination during the same period were selected as healthy control group.The expression of miR-143-3p and STAT3 mRNA was compared in the serum of two groups.In addition,they were divided into good prognosis group(n=82)and poor prognosis group(n=28),according to the prognosis of HCC patients followed up for 1 year.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the the influencing factors of poor prog-nosis in HCC patients.The predictive efficacy of serum miR-143-3p and STAT3 mRNA expression on poor prognosis of HCC patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared with healthy control group,the expression level of miR-143-3p in serum of HCC group was lower(P＜0.05),while the expression level of STAT3 mRNA was higher(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that microvascular invasion,maximum diameter of tumor＞5 cm,down-regulated serum miR-143-3p expression and up-regulated STAT3 mRNA expression were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of HCC patients(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of serum miR-143-3p,STAT3 mR-NA and their combined detection for predicting the poor prognosis of HCC patients were 0.888,0.810 and 0.922,respectively,and the combined detection had the best predictive value(P＜0.05).Conclusion The ex-pression of miR-143-3p is abnormally down-regulated in the serum of HCC patients,while the mRNA of STAT3 is abnormally up-regulated.The combined detection of miR-143-3p and STAT3 has good predictive value for the poor prognosis of HCC patients.

Objective To conduct a reliability and validity analysis of the quantitative diagnostic criteria for hysterosalpingography(HSG)in clinical trials.Methods Questionnaire survey method was used for this study.A test questionnaire scale was constructed based on the imaging data of 10 patients who had received HSG.Fifteen medical workers engaged in HSG-related clinical and scientific research work were invited to score the test questionnaire according to quantitative diagnostic criteria.Internal consistency testing,correlation analysis,and exploratory factor analysis were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the quantified diagnostic criteria.Results The overall Cronbach's α coefficient for this quantitative diagnostic criteria was 0.834.The Cronbach's α coefficients for the three evaluation functions,including tubal patency,tubal adhesion and pelvic adhesion,were 0.722,0.627 and 0.724 respectively.The Spearman-Brown split-half reliability coefficient was 0.859,and the Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.830.The inter-rater reliability measured by the Kendall W coefficient was 0.806(P＜0.05).The analysis indicated that the evaluation function for pelvic adhesion was suitable for factor analysis(KMO value=0.573,Bartlett Spherical test P=0.003).Two common factors were extracted(characteristic root being set at 1),and the cumulative variance interpretation rate was up to 74.74％.These factors were named as"items with low ambiguity"and"items with potential ambiguity"respectively.Conclusion The overall reliability and validity of this quantitative diagnostic criteria are satisfactory,it can meet the requirements of HSG-related clinical trials and has the potential for clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of in vitro cultured calculus bovis (ICCB) on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) and its mechanism. METHODS: A CIRI rat model and a cell model were induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in Sprague Dawley rats and oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) in BV2 cells, respectively. The CIRI rat model was evaluated using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS), brain water content, and cerebral infarction volume after 1.5 h of ischemia followed by 72 h of reperfusion. Histopathological changes in the cortex and hippocampal CA1 region were observed with hematoxylin and eosin staining. Microglial polarization and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein (NLRP) 3 inflammasome expression in the cortex were examined by immunofluorescence. BV2 cell viability was measured via MTT assay after treatment with ICCB and Nigericin. The expressions of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 proteins and inflammatory cytokines were detected with Western blotting in OGD/R treated BV2 cells (0.5 h OGD+24 h reperfusion) and in cells pretreated with Nigericin for 24 h. RESULTS: ICCB treatment significantly improved neurological function, reduced cerebral infarct volume and brain water content, and mitigated pathological damage in the cortical and hippocampal CA1 regions of rats subjected to CIRI (all P<0.05). ICCB promoted the transition of cortical microglia from M1 to M2 phenotypes and suppressed NLRP3 activation in microglial cells (all P<0.01). ICCB significantly down-regulated the expression of NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 proteins, and reduced the secretion of IL-18 and IL-1β in BV2 cells of OGD/R model (all P<0.01). In addition, Nigericin significantly reversed the salvage effect of ICCB on model cells (both P<0.01) and the modulation of inflammatory cytokines (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS ICCB exerts a protective effect against CIRI by mitigating neuroinflammation, through the reduction of M1 microglial polarization, promotion of M2 conversion, and suppression of the NLRP3/ASC/caspase-1 signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze risk factors for pulmonary vein obstruction (PVO) after intracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of the patients with intracardiac TAPVC who underwent surgery at our center from April 2009 to April 2019 was conducted. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the risk of postoperative PVO. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify relevant risk factor for postoperative PVO. Results We finally included 169 patients. The median age at surgery was 89.0 (41.5, 195.0) days, and the median weight at surgery was 4.8 (3.8, 6.0) kg. The preoperative PVO rate was 18.3% (31/169). Post-repair PVO occurred in 8.9% (15/169) of the patients. The atresia of common pulmonary and subtype of coronary sinus/right atrium did not significantly affect the risk of PVO (P=0.053, P=0.330). Relevant risk factors included preoperative PVO (P<0.001) and the ratio of left ventricular end-systolic diameter to right ventricular diameter (P=0.025). Conclusion Surgical repair of intracardiac TAPVC has achieved satisfactory results in our center, but the long-term risk of obstruction should not be underestimated. An increased ratio of left ventricular end-systolic diameter to right ventricular diameter and preoperative PVO are associated with post-repair PVO.

Objective : To explore the effect of esketamine on anxiety-depressive-like behavior in mice and its rela- tionship with inflammation． Methods : SPF grade healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice，weighing 20 －24 g，were used in the exprement．The random number table method was used to divide into 5 groups (n = 8) : control group ( Con group) ，esketamine group (ESK group) ，model group ( LPS group) ，model + esketamine prevention group (LPS + ESK1 group) and model + esketamine treatment group ( LPS + ESK2 group) ．An inflammation-induced anxiety-depression model was prepared by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 0. 83 mg / kg．The ESK group was injec- ted with esketamine 10 mg / kg ; LPS group was injected with LPS 0. 83 mg / kg ; LPS + ESK1 group was injected with LPS 0. 83 mg / kg before 24 hours intraperitoneal injection of esketamine 10 mg / kg ; and the LPS + ESK2 group was injected with LPS 0. 83 mg / kg and 30 minutes later with esketamine 10 mg / kg．24 h after intraperitoneal injec- tion of LPS，the anxiety-depression-like behaviors of mice were measured using behavioral experiments．At the end of behavioral experiments，the spleen was taken immediately ; hippocampal tissues were taken and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the contents of interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) ，tumor necrosis factor al- pha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) and neuronal pathological changes in hippocampal tissues were observed by HE staining. Results : Compared with the Con group，mice in the LPS group showed increased anxiety and depres- sion-like behavior (P＜0. 05) ，increased spleen weight / body weight (P ＜0. 05 ) ，increased hippocampal tissue concentrations of IL-1 β , TNF-α and IL-6 (P＜0. 05) ，and increased neuronal degeneration necrosis，there was no statistically significant difference in these indicators in the ESK group compared with the Con group．Compared with the LPS group，mice in the LPS + ESK1 and LPS + ESK2 groups showed reduced anxiety-depression-like behavior (P＜0. 05) ，decreased splenic weight / body weight (P ＜0. 05) ，hippocampal tissue IL-1 β , TNF-α , IL- 6 con- centrations were reduced (P＜0. 05) ，and neuronal degeneration necrosis was reduced．Compared with the LPS + ESK1 group，the LPS + ESK2 group showed an increase in the distance travelled in the central area of the open field experiment and the distance into the open arm of the elevated cross maze experiment (P＜0. 05) ，a decrease in IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations (P＜0. 05) ，and a reduction in the degree of neuronal damage． Conclusion Esketamine ameliorates LPS-induced anxiety-depression-like behavior and neuronal damage in mice by a mechanism that may be related to reduced inflammation.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of healthy school canteen intervention on nutritional literacy, food consumption, as well as attitude towards school canteen. Methods: A primary school in Taizhou City was selected as the intervention school, and another comparable primary school was selected as the control one. A total of 320 students (163 in the intervention group and 157 in the control group) received a comprehensive intervention based on the construction of a healthy school canteen in the school,incluling healthy dining environment,food impravement,chef training,nutrition and health education, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Questionnaires survey was administered to both groups before and after the intervention. Results: Before the intervention, no significant differences were found in the total scores of skills and nutrition literacy, frequency of food intake, behaviors and attitudes related to canteen construction between the two groups( P >0.05). Daily intake of vegetables, dairy products, fish/poultry/eggs/lean meat increased by 19.63, 15.95 and 19.63 percentage point respectively ( χ 2=15.25，9.14，13.93， P <0.01). The proportion of students reporting have read related intervention materials in the intervention group(95.71%) was higher than the control group(84.71%) ( χ 2= 11.04, P < 0.01 ). The students in favor of low salt, low oil and low sugar dishes in the intervention group (74.85%) was higher than in the control group(48.41%) ( χ 2=23.73, P <0.01). Conclusion Based on the comprehensive intervention of nutrition and health canteens can improve students nutrition literacy and dietary structure. It is recommended to adopt the form of "home school linkage" to carry out the construction of large sample, multi regional and long term nutrition and health canteens.

The kidney is the body's most important organ and the protein components in urine could be detected for diagnosing certain diseases. The amount of IgG protein in urine could be used to determine the degree of kidney function damage. IgG protein in human urine was detected by vertical flow paper-based microfluidic chip, double-antibody sandwich immunoreaction, and cell phone image processing. The results showed that using an IgG antibody concentration of 500 μg/mL and a gold standard antibody concentration of 100 μg/mL, the image signal showed a good linear relationship in the range of IgG concentration of 0.2-3.2 μg/mL, with R²=0.973 3 achieved. A complete set of detection devices were designed and the detection method showed good non-specificity.

Objective : To study the protective effect and mechanism of remimazolam on cognitive function in septic mice． Results : In the LPS group，the number of platform crossing times，the percentage of staying time in the first quadrant，GSH level and SOD activity significantly decreased，and TNF-α, IL-1 β and MDA levels significantly increased．In addition，the arrangement of neurons in CA1 area of hippocampus was disturbed ; cytoplasmic staining was deepened ; and the nucleus was solidly stained．Comparing RM10 ，RM15 and RM20 groups with the LPS group，the number of platform crossing times，the sta- ying time in the first quadrant，GSH level and SOD activity increased，and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1 β and MDA decreased．And the results of hippocampal staining showed a decrease in degenerated neuronal cells．When it came to the comparision in the groups with different doses of remimazolam injection，septic mice in the RM20 group showed less improvement in cognitive dysfunction and inflammatory oxidative stress than the RM10 and RM15 groups． Conclusion Remimazolam has a protective effect on cognitive dysfunction in septic mice，and its mechanism may be related to its binding of translocator protein ( TSPO) to inhibit macrophage polarization and thus reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress damage．It also reflects that dose of 10 mg / kg and 15 mg / kg has more significant protective effect than that of 20 mg / kg.

Background Excessive intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is harmful to health. In recent decades, the consumption of SSBs by Chinese residents has increased rapidly, increasing the risk of death and burden of disease. Objective To analyze the knowledge level and influencing factors of SSBs for Chinese residents aged 18-64 years in 2021. Methods A multi-stage cluster random sampling approach was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among residents aged 18-64 years in 302 survey sites across the country in 2021, and 98567 valid questionnaires were obtained. Four questions are about SSBs among the questionnaire's 5 dimensions. Respondents who answered 3 or more questions correctly were considered to have a basic understanding of SSBs. Frequency and weighted proportion were used for description. With individual as level 1 and resident council (village council) as level 2, a two-level logistic regression model was applied to examine the influencing factors. A null model was used to determine whether the two-level logistic regression model was appropriate. Results The knowledge awareness rate of SSBs was 57.0% among the Chinese residents aged 18-64 years in 2021. The knowledge point with the lowest correct rate was "It is best to consume no more than 25 grams of added sugar per day" (22.6%), while the one with the highest correct rate was "Excessive intake of SSBs can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes" (81.1%). The results of the null model showed that SSBs knowledge level had a clustering effect at resident council (village council) level (t=25.00, P<0.0001), so a two-level model fit better than a one-level model. The results of the two-level logistic model revealed that residents who were female (OR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.11, 1.18) or working in medical and health (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.27, 1.45) and education institutions (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.24) had a higher knowledge level compared to males or residents of other occupations. The knowledge level was lower among residents in central (OR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.77, 0.97) and western (OR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.75, 0.94) areas than in eastern areas. Those with chronic diseases (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.78, 0.84) and who did not know if they had a chronic disease (OR=0.75, 95%CI: 0.72, 0.78) had a lower knowledge level than those without chronic diseases. Compared with 18-24 years, the knowledge level was higher in ages 35-44 years (OR=1.07, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.12) and lower in ages 55-64 years (OR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.86, 0.97), and not different from the ages 25-34 years and 45-54 years. The knowledge level increased with the level of education, the trend was statistically significant (P＜0.001). Conclusion Only about half of Chinese adults aged 18-64 years had a basic understanding of SSBs in 2021. The awareness rate of added sugar intake was low in particular. The knowledge levels of male, central and western, or less educated populations were even lower. Awareness of the negative health outcomes of SSBs was high among the population.
