Objective: This study examined the gut bacterial communities of dogs from different breeds, all kept under identical domestication conditions. Methods: Noninvasive sampling and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing were used to compare the composition and function of the gut microbiota of three dog breeds: the Chinese Kunming dog (CKD), German Shepherd dog (GSD), and Belgian Malinois dog (BMD). Results: The gut microbiota of the three dog breeds consisted of 257 species across 146 genera, 60 families, 35 orders, 15 classes, and 10 phyla. The dominant bacterial phyla across the three breeds were Firmicutes (57.44%), Fusobacteriota (28.86%), and Bacteroidota (7.63%), while the dominant bacterial genera across the three breeds were Peptostreptococcus (21.08%), Fusobacterium (18.50%), Lactobacillus (12.37%), and Cetobacter (10.29%). Further analysis revealed significant differences in the intestinal flora of the three breeds at the phylum and genus levels. The intestinal flora of BMD was significantly richer than that of CKD and GSD. The functional prediction and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the primary functions of the gut microbiota in these breeds were similar, with significant enrichment in various metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and microbial metabolism in different environments. The intestinal flora of these breeds also played a crucial role in genetic information processing, including transcription, translation, replication, and material transport. Conclusions and Relevance: These results provide novel insights into the intestinal flora of intervention dogs and suggest novel methods to improve their health status, which help increase microbial diversity and normalize metabolite production in diseased dogs.

Objective:To understand the current knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) on influenza and influenza vaccine among pregnant women in Suzhou and to analyze its influencing factors to provide technical support data for public health strategies for promoting influenza vaccination in pregnant women.Methods:A questionnaire was designed, and a stratified sampling method was used to conduct a face-to-face survey among pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy who received antenatal examinations at different levels of medical institutions in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2023. KAP status and influencing factors were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression analysis. Results:A total of 2 195 valid questionnaires were collected in this survey. The M( Q1, Q3) of knowledge about influenza and influenza vaccine among pregnant women in Suzhou was 7.60 (5.23, 9.80) points, and the score range was 0.20-14.71 points, the passing rate was 34.12%, the awareness rate of influenza vaccine was 57.45%, and the vaccination rate of influenza vaccine was 1.91% within one year before the survey. The willingness to receive influenza vaccine during pregnancy was only 3.57%. Multivariate analysis of influenza and influenza vaccine-related knowledge scores showed that the passing rate was positively correlated with education level and gestational age. In contrast, family income was negatively correlated with living in rural areas, working as migrant workers, and having no medical insurance. Multivariate analysis of vaccination intention showed that decreased effectiveness of influenza vaccine and increased adverse reactions decreased vaccination intention during pregnancy. Conclusions:The pregnant women in Suzhou pay more attention to influenza, and vaccination rates and intentions are generally low. Pregnant women with early and second trimester of pregnancy, low education, living in rural areas, working as migrant workers, and not purchasing medical insurance are the key groups to popularize the knowledge about influenza and influenza vaccine.

Objective:To understand the reinfection rate of 2019-nCoV in the previously infected population in Suzhou and compare the illness severity and prognosis of the reinfection cases with the first-time infection cases.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted in the persons with previous 2019-nCoV infection reported in Suzhou from January 22, 2020 to November 8, 2022 to collect the information about the incidence of reinfection of 2019-nCoV in this population from December 8, 2022 to January 18, 2023. The persons who were infected with 2019-nCoV for the first time were selected by marching the residence, age and gender at ratio of 1∶2 from 2019-nCoV infection community follow-up cohort of Suzhou. By χ2 test, the clinical symptoms and prognosis of the reinfection case and the first-time infection cases were compared. Results:The reinfection rate of 2019-nCoV was 13.01% (147/1 130) in Suzhou. No reinfection was found within 1-6 months after the first-time infection, the rate of reinfection was 10.59% (95/897) in those with interval of 7-12 months between the reinfection and the first-time infection and 45.61% (52/114) in those with the interval ≥24 months. The lowest reinfection rate was 9.09% (1/11) in those who had completed 4 doses of 2019-nCoV vaccination. The main symptoms of the reinfection cases were similar to those of the first-time infection cases. Except for dry cough, nausea/poor appetite and other symptoms, there were significant differences in other clinical symptoms between the two groups ( P<0.05). In the reinfection cases, fever had shorter duration with lower body temperature. The hospital visit rate in the reinfection cases was 4.08% (6/147), lower than that in the cases with the first-time infection (11.56%, 34/294). The time for negative nucleic acid (antigen) test result and recovery from illness after the reinfection were shorter than those after the first-time infection. Conclusions:Reinfection occurred in some people who had been infected with 2019-nCoV. The interval between the reinfection and the first-time infection and the completion of the 4 doses of booster vaccination were the factors influencing the reinfection rate. The hospital visit rate in the reinfection cases was lower than that in the cases with the first-time infection. The reinfection had similar symptoms and shorter illness duration compared with the first-time infection.

【Objective】 To explore the effect of repeated use of situational dialogues in the process of blood donation of voluntary blood donors. 【Methods】 From September to November 2019, blood donors in the center were investigated in the form of questionnaire, and the influencing factors of blood donation experience were analyzed by regression analysis.The direction of blood donation service should be improved according to the influencing factors.Compared with the survey data before and after the improvement, the effectiveness of the new blood donation service measures, centering on the situation dialogue, on improving blood donation experience was evaluated. 【Results】 A total of 304 and 187 valid questionnaires were returned from the two surveys. Regression analysis of the data from the first study revealed that the main factors affecting the blood donation experience were emotion, value, body and service. The regression coefficient for emotional experience was 2.587 (OR=13.292). Based on this evidence, improvements were implemented to the blood donation service, and the core strategy was to increase emotional communication with blood donors through multiple situational dialogues to achieve psychological support for blood donors. The results of the comparison of the data before and after the measure were as follows: emotional experience 3.490±0.879 vs. 3.754±0.771, value experience 3.461±0.957 vs. 3.722±0.854, and service experience 3.355±0.908 vs. 3.663±0.909; all were improved (F=9.365~23.025, P<0.01 for all). The control analysis illustrated that the improved orientation of the blood donation service was effective in improving the donor experience (χ²=4.776, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Increasing verbal situational dialogues with blood donors is an effective way for blood centers to improve donors′ donation experience, which helps donors to develop a positive evaluation of blood donation and leads to an increased intention to return.

Objective:To explore the value of case analysis combined with role revelation in cultivating thinking ability of surgical nursing training.Methods:A total of 87 newly recruited nurses who needed to rotate in the surgical system of Fenyang Hospital, Shanxi Medical University from January 2019 to October 2020 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into control group ( n=43) and study group ( n=44). The control group used traditional teaching, and the study group used case analysis combined with role revelation. The clinical thinking ability of nurses was evaluated by written examination of clinical thinking ability and clinical thinking ability score table. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test. Results:The scores of written examination of clinical thinking ability (history collection, preliminary clinical diagnosis, preliminary nursing measures, auxiliary examination interpretation, comprehensive analysis of diagnosis and treatment process, nursing and discharge diagnosis, and health education) of nurses in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of clinical thinking ability (critical thinking ability, system thinking ability and evidence-based thinking ability) of nurses in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Case analysis combined with role revelation in the surgical nursing training of new nurses is helpful to improve the trainees' clinical thinking ability.

Objective:To study the influencing factors of influenza-associated severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) in children younger than 5 years of old in Suzhou, and to provide evidence to support the improvement of prevention and control strategies for influenza in children.Methods:We conducted a prospective influenza surveillance for hospitalized SARI and outpatient influenza-like illness (ILI) at Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from April 2011 to March 2017. We compared the clinical and other characteristics of influenza-positive patients with SARI to those with ILI to find the differences and to identify influencing factors of influenza-associated SARI, using χ2 test and unconditional logistic regression. Results:We found 786 cases of influenza-associated ILI and 413 cases of influenza-associated SARI during the study period. Cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, asthma or wheezing were more common in influenza-associated SARI than in influenza-associated ILI ( P<0.01). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression showed that the influencing factors which significantly associated with increased risk of influenza-associated SARI were as follows: younger age (<6 months OR=3.6, 6-23 months a OR=2.5), respiratory infection history within 3 months (a OR=4.5), chronic lung disease history ( OR=3.4), fever above 39.0 ℃ (39.0-39.9 ℃ a OR=2.4, ≥40.0 ℃ a OR=6.0), and the presence of A/H1N1 (a OR=2.3), A/H3N2 (a OR=1.9). Conclusion:Children younger than 2 years old, with a history of chronic lung disease, a history of respiratory infection within 3 months, or with a fever peak above 39.0 ℃ should seek medical advice as soon as possible or receive annual influenza vaccination to reduce the incidence of influenza-associated serious outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of acute poisoning caused by colchicine. METHODS: The clinical data of 3 cases of acute colchicine poisoning were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: All the 3 cases had a clear history of colchicine overdose, at the doses of 30.0, 50.0 and 58.5 mg. These 3 cases had different degree of gastrointestinal symptoms, bone marrow restrain, rhabdomyolysis, myocardial damage and liver damage. After treatment, case 1 and case 2 were discharged. Case 3 had a long history of oral intake of colchicine. Severe metabolic acidosis and abnormal coagulation function occurred in the early stage, and the condition was dangerous. Despite active rescue treatments including blood purification, glucocorticoid, coagulation factors, liver pretection, heart protection and water electrolyte correction, death could not be prevented after taking colchicine 89 hours later.CONCLUSION: There is no specific antidote for colchicine poisoning. The prognosis is poor if there is severe metabolic acidosis and abnormal blood coagulation in early stage.
