This study was aimed at preliminarily assessing the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)among cattle farming and slaughterhouse workers across Wuxue,Xianning,and Yichang Cities in Hubei Province,and exploring associated risk factors.Data on cattle farming and slaughterhouse workers were gathered via a questionnaire.LTBI detection was performed with a tu-berculin skin test and interferon-gamma release assay,and influencing factors were subsequently analyzed.The LTBI prevalence among cattle farming and slaughterhouse personnel in the three cities was 30.50%,and a higher rate was observed in slaughterhouse workers(39.01%)than cattle farmers(21.63%)(P<0.01).Multifactor analysis indicated that working in slaughterhouses(95%CI:1.582-3.878),having a history of tuberculosis(95%CI:1.377-25.057)or BCG vaccination(95%CI:1.229-3.285),and having a college education or above(95%CI:0.303-0.859)were significant factors influencing LTBI positivity in these personnel.Having more than 30 years of work experience(95%CI:1.303-18.782)was a risk factor for personnel at cattle breeding farms.Among slaugh-terhouse personnel,having a college education or above(95%CI:0.164-0.894),11-20 years of work experience(95%CI:0.122-0.994),or a history of tuberculosis(95%CI:1.661-64.397);performing logistics work(95%CI:3.234-126.424);and working in slaughter-related positions(95%CI:1.209-19.639)were associated with LTBI positivity.Therefore,the slaughterhouse workers in the three cities had higher LTBI rates than the cattle farming workers,thus underscoring the need for increased attention to personnel in logistics and slaughter-related positions.

Objective To study the physical and chemical stability of biapenem and parenteral nutrient solutions when they are used together through a Y-type infusion pathway,and to evaluate the rationality and feasibility of clinical compatibility.Methods Based on the actual clinical infusion rates of biapenem solution and parenteral nutrition solution in ICU,under room temperature and light conditions,simulate a Y-shaped pathway to mix biapenem solution and four types of parenteral nutrition solutions in three volume ratios(1∶1,2∶1,3∶1),and collect the compatible solutions at 0,1,2,4,and 6 hours,observing the appearance,pH value,osmolality,insoluble particles,Zeta potential,particle size and the change of biapenem content of the compatible solution,to investigate the potential interaction between them.Results Within 6 hours,the appearance,pH value,osmotic pressure,insoluble particles,particle size,and Zeta potential did not significantly change.Compared with zero time,the content of the biapenem fluctuated between 93.68%and 100.86%,and there was no impurity peak interference in the chromatogram.Conclusion The physico-chemical properties of biapenem were stable within 6 hours under the condition of room temperature and no light exposure through Y-type infusion pathway and parenteral nutrient solutions.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemiological distribution and gene evolutionary variation of influenza A (H3N2) viruses in Fengxian District, Shanghai, in the surveillance year of 2023, and to provide a reference basis for influenza prevention and control. MethodsThe prevalence of influenza virus in Fengxian District in the 2023 influenza surveillance year (April 2023‒March 2024) was analyzed. The hemagglutinin (HA) gene, neuraminidase (NA) gene, and amino acid sequences of 75 strains of H3N2 influenza viruses were compared with the vaccine reference strain for similarity matching and phylogenetic evolutionary analysis, in addition to an analysis of gene characterization and variation. ResultsIn Fengxian District, there was a mixed epidemic of H3N2 and H1N1 in the spring of 2023, with H3N2 being the predominant subtype in the second half of the year, and Victoria B becoming the predominant subtype in the spring of 2024. A total of 75 influenza strains of H3N2 with HA and NA genes were distributed in the 3C.2a1b.2a.2a.2a.3a.1 and B.4 branches, with overall similarity to the reference strain of the 2024 vaccine higher than that of the reference strain of the 2022 and 2023 vaccine. Compared with the 2023 vaccine reference strain, three antigenic sites and one receptor binding site were changed in HA, with three glycosylation sites reduced and two glycosylation sites added; where as in NA seven antigenic sites and the 222nd resistance site changed with two glycosylation sites reduced. ConclusionThe risk of antigenic variation and drug resistance of H3N2 in this region is high, and it is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education on the 2024 influenza vaccine and long-term monitoring of influenza virus prevalence and variation levels.

Objective:To investigate the effective ingredients and molecular mechanisms of Qizao oral liquid in the treatment of lead poisoning through network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.Methods:December 2023, the effective ingredients and their corresponding targets of Qizao oral liquid were searched from the TCM Systems Pharmacology database. Swiss Target Prediction was used to predict corresponding potential target genes of compounds. Targets associated with lead poisoning were obtained from GeneCards and OMIM databases. Cytoscape 3.10.1 software was employed to construct a components and corresponding target network as well as a components and corresponding target network, followed by visualization and cluster analysis. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were conducted using the Metascape database, resulting in the generation of a signaling pathway-target network diagram. Molecular docking analysis between the principal compounds and target proteins was performed using Autodock 4.2.6 and Pymol 2.2.0 software to validate their underlying molecular mechanisms.Results:A total of 114 active chemical components, 361 potential targets, 2501 lead poisoning targets, and 191 intersection targets of "Qizao oral liquid and lead poisoning" were screened. Further analysis revealed that there were 2091 entries for GO biological processes and 202 KEGG signaling pathways. Enrichment analysis showed that the key targets were mainly enriched in cancer, lipid and atherosclerosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. Molecular docking showed that there were 14 combinations with binding energy<-5 kcal/mol, among which PIK3R1-β-sitosterol binding energy was -9.71 kcal/mol.Conclusion:The primary active components found in Qizao oral liquid, such as β-sitosterol, nuciferine, stephanine, and stigmasterol, have the potential to modulate key targets including PIK3R1, AKT1, TP53, and NFKB1. These components are capable of influencing the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway as well as lipid and atherosclerosis pathways in order to mitigate the adverse effects of lead exposure.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features,treatment and prognosis of patients with proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition.Methods The clinical data,renal pathology,treatment and prognosis of patients with PGNMID diagnosed by renal biopsy in Xijing Hospital from January 2018 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed and summarized.Results A total of 28 patients were enrolled in this study,with a male to female ratio of 4:3.The clinical manifestations were proteinuria(100%),hematuria(82.1%),renal insufficiency(28.6%),and low complement C3 or C4 emia(32.1%).One patient(3.6%)had serum monoclonal immunoglobulin,and 5 patients(17.9%)had abnormal serum free light chain ratio.The deposition of immunoglobulin in the kidney was IgG3 in 24 cases,IgG1 in 4 cases,and IgG3κwas the most common type(17 cases).Then there are 24 cases(85.7%)of MPGN,3 cases(10.7%)characterized by EPGN,1 case(3.6%)of MGN.Under electron microscope,most of the electron-dense deposits were found in the mesangial area and subendothelium,and a few were accompanied by subepithelial deposits.The follow-up time ranged from 3 to 56 months.Until the last follow-up,a total of 5 patients entered ESRD,of which 2 patients died,1 patient underwent peritoneal dialysis,1 patient underwent hemodialysis,and 1 patient underwent preparation for renal replacement therapy.Follow-up of 1 year,2 years,3 years renal total response rate of 32.1%,57.1%and 64.2%respectively.According to the situation of kidney ease into remission group(n=16)and non-remission group(n=12).The average age of the remission group was 44±17.35 years,including 8 males(50%);The average age of the non-remission group was 59.83±18.09 years,including 8 males(66.7%).The age,nT-proBNP,troponin I and urea nitrogen of the non-remission group were higher than those of the remission group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Among the 5 patients with renal complete remission,2 were treated with BD(bortezomib combined with dexamethasone),1 was treated with Dara,and the remaining 2 were treated with steroids combined with immunosuppressants.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of PGNMID are proteinuria,hematuria and renal insufficiency.Under light microscope,MPGN was the main manifestation,and IgG3κwas the most common subtype.Based on bortezomib treatment can obtain good hematology and kidney remission rate.Dara may be a safe and effective drug for the treatment of PGNMID,the best treatment needs further exploration.

Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a condition in which the contents of the stomach break through the anti-reflux barrier and reflux from the stomach into the esophagus and even into the mouth,throat,and airway,causing symptoms or complications,and it is one of the most common intractable diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is effective and highly accepted in the treatment of GERD,and an animal model that combines disease and syndrome is the basis and prerequisite for conducting relevant research.Methods Relevant databases were searched,and based on the clinical diagnostic criteria of GERD in Chinese and Western medicine,the modeling methods,modeling performance,and modeling characteristics of the existing animal models of GERD combined with disease and syndrome were summarized,and the reasons for the selection of the specific modeling methods and evaluation indexes were explored,and the degree of match was evaluated based on the characteristics of the clinical disease and syndrome in Chinese and Western medicine.Results The combination model of GERD was based on surgical or pharmacological stimulation,such as esophageal instillation of exogenous acid,surgical intervention to change the physiological structure of the gastrointestinal tract of the rat causing gastric reflux or mixed reflux,and imposition of TCM interventions,with chronic unpredictable stimulation for the liver qi depression syndrome type of animal model,with pinch-tail stimulation for the qi-stagnation and phlegm-obstruction type,with chronic stress stimulation in conjunction with a high-fat diet for the blood stasis blocking collaterals type,with internal and external causes of dampness-heat for the splenic-deficiency damp heat syndrome.The intervention method was mainly used.Conclusion The current animal model of GERD has a high degree of consistency with the characteristics of Western medicine,but a lower degree of consistency with Chinese medicine.Therefore,according to the differences in the mechanism of Chinese medicine,we propose corresponding improvements and observation methods,as well as the shortcomings of the current study,in order to provide reference for the establishment of the GERD model,to establish an animal model that conforms to the characteristics of the Western and Eastern medicine and has a high degree of clinical consistency,so as to lay the foundation for the research on the mechanism of GERD and medication.The study will lay the foundation for the research of GERD mechanism and drugs.
