In recent years, cancer treatment methods and means are becoming more and more diversified, and single treatment methods often have limited efficacy, while the synergistic effect of immunity combined with chemotherapy can inhibit tumor growth more effectively. Based on this, we constructed a sodium alginate hydrogel composite system loaded with chemotherapeutic agents and tumor vaccines (named SA-DOX-NA) with a view to the combined use of chemotherapeutic agents and tumor vaccines. Firstly, the tumor vaccine (named NA) degradable under acidic conditions was constructed by

[Objective] To explore the therapeutic effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC). [Methods] C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to the control group, the DSS group (model) and the DSS+IVIG group (treatment). The DSS group and the DSS+IVIG group received 3% DSS in drinking water to establish the acute UC mouse model. During the experiment, the DSS+IVIG group received IVIG (1 g/kg/2d) via tail vein injection, while the DSS group received equivalent saline via tail vein injection at the same dose and frequency. The symptoms of the mice were observed, body weight changes were recorded, and the disease activity index (DAI) was calculated daily. At the end of the experiment, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes and inflammatory cell infiltration of colon tissue; Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining was used to quantify the number of goblet cells; Luminex was used to detect the levels of inflammatory-related cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-6 and MMPs) in colon; western blot and qRT-PCR were respectively used to detect the protein expression and mRNA levels of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-3). [Results] DSS induced weight loss, diarrhea, bloody stool, increased DAI score, and shortened colon length in mice. Compared with DSS group, after the administration of IVIG, the DAI score was significantly reduced (P<0.001), colon length was increased (P<0.001), infiltration of inflammatory cells and pathological damage were alleviated in colonic mucosa (P<0.001), the number of goblet cells were increased (P<0.05), and the levels of inflammatory-related cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, IL-6R, MMP2, MMP3 and Chitinase3like1 were decreased (all P<0.05). Western blot and qRT - PCR results showed that IVIG significantly up-regulated the protein expression of ZO-1, Occludin and claudin-3 (all P<0.05) and the mRNA levels of ZO-1 and Occludin (all P<0.05). [Conclusion] IVIG has protective effects on colitis by inhibiting the pathological release of inflammatory-related cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and MMPs and restoring the integrity of intestinal barrier.

ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze an outbreak of rotavirus infectious diarrhea in a prison in Chongqing Municipality, to provide a basis for adult rotavirus surveillance and prevention, and to explore the public health problems in special settings. MethodsA retrospective survey was conducted to collect and analyze data on individual cases with diarrheal disease on-site. The clinical characteristics, as well as the temporal, spatial and geographical distribution patterns of the epidemic were described. Multi-pathogen detection tests were conducted both on diarrhea cases and environmental samples, with viral genotyping performed on positive samples. A case-control analysis was performed to identify the causes of the outbreak, and an SEIR model was adopted to predict the outbreak trend and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. ResultsA total of 65 cases were found among the inmates, with an attack rate of 2.03%. The predominant clinical manifestations included diarrhea (89.23%), watery stool (73.85%), and dehydration (18.46%). The epidemic curve indicated a “human-to-human” transmission pattern, with an average incubation period of 5‒6 days. The attack rates among chefs in the main canteen (80.00%, 8/10) and caterers (28.33%, 17/60) were significantly higher than those of other inmates (P<0.05). Multi-pathogen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing detected positive for group A rotavirus, with the viral genotyping identified as G9P [8] strain. Factors such as unprotected "bare-handed" food distribution among cases with diarrhea (OR=9.512, 95%CI: 4.261‒21.234) and close contact with diarrhea cases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.719‒7.778) were the possible cause of the outbreak. The SEIR model (r0=5, α=0.3, β1=0.08, β2=0.04) was constructed using prison inmates as susceptible population, aiming at fitting the initial transmission trend of the outbreak, and the epidemic rate declined rapidly after intervention measures were implemented (rt≈0). ConclusionThis rare rotavirus infection diarrhea outbreak among adults in confined settings suggests that the construction of public health prevention and control systems in prison may be overlooked. Cross infection during meal processing and distribution in the canteens of such settings is likely to be the cause of the outbreak. Given the potential neglect of public heath system construction in special settings, it is imperative to enhance the surveillance and monitoring of rotavirus and other intestinal multi-pathogens among adults, as well as the construction of public health prevention and control systems in these special settings.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of esketamine for multimodal analgesia on opioid consumption and gastric motility in mechanically ventilated non-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. METHODS Forty cases of mechanically ventilated non-surgical patients in the ICU of our hospital from February 1st, 2023 to July 31st, 2023 were selected and randomly divided into control group and esketamine (S-K) group using grouping method with opaque envelopes, with 20 cases in each group. Control group was given sufentanil, and S-K group was infused with Esketamine hydrochloride injection at a constant rate of 0.2 mg/(kg·h)+ sufentanil. The treatment period length, analgesic compliance rate, sedation level, analgesic and sedative consumption, and gastric motility indexes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in the treatment period length, analgesic compliance rate, sedation level, or the consumption of propofol and midazolam between the two groups (P>0.05). The consumption of sufentanil in the S-K group was significantly less than control group (P< 0.05). Compared with 1 h after randomization, the antral contraction frequency, antral contraction amplitude and antral motility index of patients in the S-K group were significantly higher at 72 h after randomization and were significantly higher than control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Esketamine may reduce opioid consumption and improve gastric motility in mechanically ventilated non-surgical ICU patients while ensuring a level of analgesic sedation.

Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex (PCC) featured with thick cortex and bright-yellow is considered to be of high quality according to traditional appearance traits evaluation mode. However, the correlation between appearance traits and internal quality of PCC has not been scientifically revealed. Here, based on the theory of "Quality Evaluation Through Morphological Identification", the correlation of both sides was studied systematically. Firstly, the thickness of PCC slices was measured by vernier calipers for classification, and the colour of PCC slice was estimated by naked eyes and automatic colorimeter and classified. Secondly, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to establish fingerprint chromatogram containing 12 characteristic peaks, and the contents of moisture and ethanolic extractive were determined as well. The correlation among the appearance traits of PCC slice (including the thickness and the spatial values of colour of PCC slice powder:

Methods The health examination data of workers in a large automotive industry from 2019-2021 were analyzed. Trends in the prevalence of chronic diseases and co-morbidities were analyzed using Join Point software and trend χ2 test. Results The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia, and fatty liver in the 2019 – 2021 health checkups of workers in this enterprise increased at an average rate of 9.27%, 11.35%, and 3.99% per year, respectively. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia, and fatty liver in male workers showed an increasing trend at an average rate of 7.05%, 9.25%, and 2.91% per year, respectively. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in female workers showed an increasing trend at an average rate of 20.76% per year. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia and fatty liver was on the rise in the age groups ≤ 29 years old and 40 – 49 years old. The proportion of metabolic syndrome and its co-morbidity with one or two common chronic diseases showed an increasing trend. Conclusion The prevalence and co-morbidity of common chronic diseases in this enterprise are generally on the rise. The enterprise should focus on health education and preventive care for chronic diseases among workers aged ≤ 29 and 40 – 49 years old and male workers and control the annual increasing trend of metabolic syndrome among female workers and workers in the age group ≤ 29 years.
