Objective: To understand the microclimate in primary and secondary school classrooms for the study period during the winter heating season, so as to provide a reference for the revision and improvement of relevant health standards. Methods: In December 2024, stratified random sampling was used to select 30 primary and secondary schools and 180 classrooms from the northern regions with centralized heating (Liaoning Province, Tianjin City) and the southern regions without centralized heating (Shanghai City, Anhui Province, and Jiangxi Province). Indoor temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, CO 2 and other indicators were measured on site. Variance analysis, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the differences in the microclimate of classrooms among regions and urban and rural differences. Results: The average temperature in the middle of the classrooms tested on site was (16.47±4.72)℃, and the variance analysis showed that the difference between the regions was statistically significant ( F=27.80, P <0.01). Among them, Tianjin had the highest average temperature of (20.43± 2.12 )℃, followed by Liaoning (19.03±2.23)℃, Shanghai (15.33±5.32)℃, Anhui (12.79±1.74)℃, and Jiangxi (11.69± 1.68 )℃. Horizontal temperature difference was 0.90 (0.50, 1.60)℃, the vertical temperature difference was 0.20 (0.10,0.60)℃, the average relative humidity was (44.39±16.16)%, the wind speed was 0.03(0.01,0.11)m/s, and the differences among different provinces and cities were statistically significant ( H/F =40.62, 82.69, 95.06, 55.28, all P <0.01). The average CO 2 volume concentration in urban areas of Tianjin, Liaoning, and Shanghai was 0.21(0.16,0.30)%, and there was no statistically significant difference ( H=4.65, P =0.10). There were grade differences in relative humidity ( F =3.71, 6.21) and CO 2 ( H =14.72, 12.92) in the north and the south (all P <0.05). In addition, the temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and CO 2 in the middle of the classroom were 42.8%, 67.8%, 100.0% and 22.2% respectively. Conclusions The temperature in the middle of the classroom in the non centralized heating area is lower than the standard, the relative humidity of classroom in the centralized heating area is lower than the standard，and the CO 2 in the classroom in winter is lower than the standard. It is recommended to install heating facilities in schools with low temperatures to increase the temperature and increase the frequency of ventilation in classrooms or adopt mechanical ventilation strategies to reduce CO 2 volume concentration.

Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

This study was aimed at establishing a method of ultra-fast quantitative PCR for Brucella detection.We used an exogenous recombinant plasmid as the internal reference and targeted the T4SS secretion system,an important Brucella viru-lence factor,to design specific primers and probes.The sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability of this method were evaluated,and a standard curve was constructed.The coincidence rate of detection findings with this method versus quantitative PCR was determined.This method markedly decreased the detection time to only 10 minutes.The standard curve demonstrated a good linear relationship(Y=-3.410 7x+38.357,R2=0.998 5)with a low minimum detection limit of 10 copies/μL.The method exhibited good specificity and did not specifically amplify several common clinical bacteria other than Brucella.The de-tection of three concentrations of positive plasmids yielded coefficients of variation(CVs)of 0.20％to 0.91％,thus demonstra-ting the method's excellent repeatability.Furthermore,140 clinical samples were analyzed concurrently with the fluorescence PCR method,which yielded a 100％compliance rate and consistent results.Our findings indicated that the Brucella ultra-fast quantitative PCR was ultrafast;had high sensitivity,high specificity,and good specificity;and can be used for the clinical de-tection of Brucella and emergency investigation of epidemics.Therefore,this method is valuable for the early diagnosis of Bru-cella.

AIM:To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)at"Qihai","Zhongji"and"Guanyuan"acupoints on urinary control function in rats with stress urinary incontinence(SUI)as well as to explore the mechanism of regulating ferroptosis.METHODS:A total of 50 Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups.The rats in control(Con)group did not receive any treatment.The rats in model group was modeled for bilateral oophorectomy and vaginal dilation.The rats in EA group received EA treatment at"Qihai","Zhongji"and"Guanyuan"acupoints after modeling,while those in sham acupuncture(sham)group received EA treatment beside the specified acupoints after modeling.The rats in EA+solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)inhibitor imidazole ketone erastin(IKE)group received an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg IKE and EA intervention after modeling.After the experiment,the uri-nary control indicators of leak point pressure(LPP),abdominal LPP(ALPP),and maximum bladder capacity(MBC)were measured for all rats.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE),Masson and Prussian blue staining was performed to observe the pathological changes and iron deposition in the urethral sphincter muscle.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to detect the mitochondrial functional indicators(mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP)and redox in-dicators:changes in the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),malondialdehyde(MDA),and glutathione(GSH).RT-qPCR,Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect the expression of key iron death proteins.RESULTS:When compared with the Con group,the main urinary control indicators of MBC,LPP,and ALPP in the model group were significantly reduced(P<0.05),and the urethral sphincter fibers were broken and disordered,iron de-position was significant,and the proportion of muscle fibers was significantly reduced.The mitochondrial function indica-tors and GSH levels were significantly reduced(P<0.05),while the ROS intensity,Fe2+and MDA levels were significant-ly increased(P<0.05),the glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and SLC7A11 mRNA protein expressions were significantly reduced(P<0.05),and the acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4)and transferrin receptor 1(TFR1)protein expressions were significantly increased(P<0.05).When compared with the model group,the main urinary con-trol indicators of the rats in the EA group were significantly improved(P<0.05).The urethral sphincter fibers breakage and disordered were attenuated,iron deposition was significantly reduced,and the proportion of muscle fibers was signifi-cantly increased.The mitochondrial function indicators and GSH levels were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the ROS intensity,Fe2+and MDA levels were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of GPX4 and SLC7A11 were significantly increased(P<0.05),and the mRNA and protein expressions of ACSL4 and TFR1 were significantly reduced(P<0.05).When compared with the EA group,the above indicators in the EA+IKE group showed negative changes,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Treatment with EA at"Qi-hai","Zhongji"and"Guanyuan"acupoints improves urinary function in SUI,and the underlying mechanism may be relat-ed to ferroptosis mediated by the SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the protective mechanism of cerium oxide nanoparticles(CeO2 NPs)against acute pancreatitis(AP),with a focus on their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.Methods:CeO2 NPs were characterized by transmission elec-tron microscopy(TEM)and dynamic light scattering.In in vitro experiments,cell counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay,flow cytometry,and Western blotting were used to validate the role of CeO2 NPs in preventing the apoptosis of pancreatic acinar cells.In in vivo experi-ments,C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group,AP group,AP+CeO2 group,SAP group,and SAP+CeO2 group to investigate the mechanism of action of CeO2 NPs in alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress in AP mice.Results:CeO2 NPs demonstrated rela-tively good stability and biocompatibility,with a particle size of(50±4)nm on TEM.In vitro experiments showed that CeO2 NPs sig-nificantly reduced the apoptosis of pancreatic acinar cells by alleviating lipid peroxidation and maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential.In vivo experiments showed that CeO2 NPs could reduce the serum levels of amylase,lipase,and inflammatory cytokines(in-terleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α).This result might be related to the regulation of the IKK/P53/Bcl-2 pathway.CeO2 NPs re-duced the production of reactive oxygen species and enhanced anti-oxidant response by regulating the Nrf-2 signaling pathway.Con-clusion:CeO2 NPs exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects by regulating the IκB kinase/tumor protein p53/B-cell lymphoma 2(IKK/P53/bcl-2)and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related(Nrf-2)signaling pathways,thereby showing promising potential for the treatment of AP.
