Objective:To evaluate the 10-year protective effect and immunogenicity of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in Chinese women aged 20 to 45 years.Methods:From October 2019 to April 2020, a long-term follow-up study was conducted on the subjects of the Phase III clinical trial of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine (NCT00834106). Participants underwent a questionnaire survey, venous blood sampling, gynecological examination, cervical exfoliated cell pathology examination, and serum neutralizing antibody titers for HPV-6, 11, 16, and 18 were measured using a pseudovirus neutralization assay. The results of the cytological examination and the positive rate and titers of serum antibodies of different cervical exfoliated cells were compared.Results:A total of 889 subjects were followed up, including 240 in the control group, 453 in the vaccination group and 196 in the post-trial vaccination group. The age of the control group was (40±7) years old, which was higher than that of the supplementary vaccination group and the vaccination group [(38±4) and (38±6) years old, respectively] ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in condom use and sexual frequency among all groups (all P values>0.05). The abnormal proportion of cervical exfoliation cytopathology in the vaccination group was 3.7% (17/453), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [9.6% (23/240)] and post-trial vaccination group [5.6% (11/196)] ( P<0.05). There were two cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1 in the vaccination group, two cases of CIN grade 1 and three cases of CIN grade 2 and above in the control group, and no CIN grade 1 and above cases in the post-trial vaccination group. The positive rate of HPV-18 antibody was 35.5% (161/453) in the vaccination group and 76.0% (149/196) in the post-trial vaccination group, which was significantly lower than that of other types ( P<0.05). The neutralizing antibody GMT ratio between the vaccination group and the control group ranged from 2.62 to 25.33 (9.05 to 83.08). Conclusion:Protective neutralizing antibodies are sustained in Chinese women aged 20 to 45 years after ten years of vaccination with quadrivalent HPV vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the effects of caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome on the Leptospira interrogans ( L. interrogans)-induced secretion of inflammatory cytokines in J774A.1 cells. Methods:Murine mononuclear macrophage cells (J774A.1) were infected with L. interrogans strain 56601. Expression of caspase-11, IL-1β, IL-1α and IL-18 at mRNA level in J774A.1 cells were detected by real-time RT-PCR. The levels of caspase-11, IL-1β, IL-1α and IL-18 in the culture supernatants of J774A.1 cells were detected by ELISA. Results:Real-time RT-PCR showed that caspase-11 expression at mRNA level was 5.12, 14.21, 8.94, 14.06, 18.58 and 0.93 times of that in uninfected cells after 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h of L. interrogans infection, and respectively decreased to 0.10, 0.07, 0.10, 0.09, 0.07 and 0.45 times after caspase-11 inhibitor intervention ( P<0.05). Expression of IL-1β, IL-1α and IL-18 at mRNA level was significantly increased after infection ( P<0.05). After the intervention with caspase-11 inhibitor, IL-1β mRNA decreased to 0.05, 0.03, 0.02, 0.05, 0.06 and 0.02 times ( P<0.05); IL-1α mRNA decreased to 0.14, 0.07, 0.15, 0.10, 0.03 and 0.06 times ( P<0.05); IL-18 mRNA decreased to 0.08, 0.10, 0.16, 0.18, 0.10 and 0.07 times ( P<0.05). ELISA results showed that the expression of caspase-11, IL-1β, IL-1α and IL-18 at protein level was significantly increased. After the intervention with caspase-11 inhibitor, caspase-11 level decreased to 43.07, 41.64, 51.96, 86.56, 105.36, and 129.95 pg/ml ( P<0.05); IL-1β level decreased to 15.01, 14.19, 68.02, 31.20, 173.13 and 104.98 pg/ml ( P<0.05); IL-1α level decreased to 12.14, 15.40, 38.01, 21.97, 24.48 and 27.09 pg/ml ( P<0.05); IL-18 level decreased to 96.27, 102.21, 85.34, 116.28, 155.36 and 114.03 pg/ml ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome was involved in the mediation of IL-1β, IL-1α and IL-18 secretion in mouse mononuclear macrophages after L. interrogans infection.

Objective To get well-informed of the current status of emergency training in primary hospitals in Sichuan Province and to find weaknesses in the system in order to provide scientific basis for emergency knowledge and skills training.Methods A stratified random cluster sampling method as adopted and an anonymous questionnaire survey method was conducted to investigate the basic circumstances of the current training and the training needs of 1 000 emergency medical staff in 9 regions throughout Sichuan Province.Results The scope of the survey covered emergency doctors,nurses and technicians in hospitals of Grade Ⅱ,Grade Ⅲ and below.A total of 1 000 surveys were sent out and 983 were recovered.The questionnaire completion rate was 98.3％.The respondents mainly worked for more than 10 years,most of which with Bachelor degree,junior and intermediate titles.Results of the survey showed,63.1％ Most respondents have only one or two training opportunities per year.The training methods are mainly continuing education (59.0％,580 trips),training organized within the unit (58.5％,575 trips),and training organized by health administrative units (39.3％,386 trips).The main contents of the training are:basic professional skills learning (66.7％,655 trips),basic professional theoretical study (59.2％,582 trips),and new emergency technology (42.5％,418 trips),only 32.0％ of the respondents believe that these methods meet the practical needs.The main factors that influence participation in the training were:not be arranged by employer (36.2％,356 trips);the training was different from actual work (31.6％,311 trips);no replacement for work so they couldn't join training (29.8％,293 trips).The survey showed that the most desirable way of training is:practical application (60.1％,591 trips) and the most desirable training content is:emergency first aid knowledge (73.7％,724 trips).There were significant differences in case discussion,technical observation,academic lectures,special study trainingand learning methods in hospitals of different levels (P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the choice of professional practice methods (P＞0.05),and the selection of training contents was in emergency first aid knowledge,general medical knowledge and prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.There was no statistical difference in the selection of training contents of knowledge,infectious disease knowledge and department management knowledge (P＞0.05).There were significant differences in the choice of nursing knowledge training (P＜0.05).Conclusion The current situation showed a lack of first-aid knowledge and skills training for emergency personnel in Sichuan Province.The present situation of skill training can't satisfy the need of their desire to participate in training.It is urgent to develop a standardized,systematic and scientific training mode to improve the emergency first aid ability of primary medical and emergency personnel.

Objective To evaluate the 15 years changing trends of prevalence of high risk HPV (HR?HPV) infection and the risks of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions (CIN2+) among a Chinese rural population. Methods The screening cohort with 1 997 women aged 35 to 45 years old was built in 1999 in Xiangyuan County, Shanxi province ( SPOCCS?I) and followed up by cytology and HR?HPV testing in the years of 2005, 2010, and 2014. The changes of HR?HPV prevalence and the risks of cervical precancerous lesions with CIN2+ as the endpoints were analyzed during the past 15 years. Results The detection rates of HPV infection and CIN2+ were 15.7%?22.3% and 1.1%?4.3% for the baseline visit and the other 3 follow?ups, respectively. The cumulative risk of CIN2+ in HR?HPV positive women at baseline was significantly higher than HR?HPV negative women ( P<0.01) during the 15?year follow?up. The risk of CIN2+ in the four?times HPV positive group was 40. 0%, while the group with four?times negative HPV results was 0.6% (Adjusted RR = 55.0, 95% CI: 11.3 to 268.4). Conclusions The prevalence of HR?HPV infection and CIN2+ lesions were high in Xiangyuan county during the 15 years. HR?HPV positivity elevated the risk of CIN2+ compared to women whose HR?HPV test was negative. The risks of CIN2+incidence in 6 years were low among women with negative HR?HPV test. The risk of CIN2+ increased with the numbers of HPV infection events. The screening interval could be extended to 5?6 years.

BACKGROUNDThe renoprotective mechanisms of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist - metformin have not been stated clearly. We hypothesized that metformin may ameliorate inflammation via AMPK interaction with critical inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to observe the effects of metformin on expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) induced by high glucose (HG) in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells (MCs).

METHODSMCs were cultured in the medium with normal concentration glucose (group NG, 5.6 mmol/L), high concentration glucose (group HG, 25 mmol/L) and different concentrations of metformin (group M1, M2, M3). After 48-hour exposure, the supernatants and MCs were collected. The expression of NF-κB, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and TGF-β1 mRNA was analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of AMPK, phospho-Thr-172 AMPK (p-AMPK), NF-κB p65, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and TGF-β1 protein.

RESULTSAfter stimulated by HG, the expression of NF-κB, MCP-1, ICAM-1, TGF-β1 mRNA and protein of MCs in group HG increased significantly compared with group NG (P < 0.05). Both genes and protein expression of NF-κB, MCP-1, ICAM-1, TGF-β1 of MCs induced by high glucose were markedly reduced after metformin treatment in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The expression of p-AMPK increased with the rising of metformin concentration, presenting the opposite trend, while the level of total-AMPK protein was unchanged with exposure to HG or metformin. Conlusion Metformin can suppress the expression of NF-κB, MCP-1, ICAM-1 and TGF-β1 of glomerular MCs induced by high glucose via AMPK activation, which may partly contribute to its reno-protection.
