Objective: To investigate the environmental contamination of norovirus in nurseries and primary/secondary schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control measures. Methods: A total of 483 external environmental samples were collected from 34 cluster outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools in Linhai City from 2021 to 2024. Pathogen detection was conducted using a rapid nucleic acid extraction kit and realtime fluorescence RT-PCR, and the results were analyzed using the χ2 test or Fishers exact test. Results: Among the collected external environmental samples, the total positive rate of surface contamination was 13.66%. The positive rates in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools were 12.20% and 15.82%, respectively. In kindergartens, the five surfaces with the highest detection rates were desks/chairs (23.33%), toilet stool troughs (20.69%), urinal troughs (12.00%), washbasins/sinks (11.11%), and toilet mops (9.38%). In primary/secondary schools, the top five were toilet stool troughs (38.30%), urinal troughs (23.53%), toilet door handles (13.04%), toilet mops (12.50%), and drinking cups (11.11%). The difference in positive detection rates among different external environments in primary/secondary schools was statistically significant (Fishers exact probability test, P<0.01). The positive detection rate in sanitary toilets was higher than that in classroom environments (χ2=17.38), while the positive detection rate in classroom environments of kindergartens was higher than that in primary/secondary schools (χ2=5.42)(P<0.05). Conclusions Norovirus exhibits a high contamination rate in nurseries and schools, particularly in restroom areas. Strengthening sanitation and disinfection in highrisk environments, and improving hygiene awareness among children and staff, are essential for the effective prevent and control of norovirus.

In order to investigate the regulatory effect of Codonopsis saponins on the immunosup-pression caused by H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV)infection,rat pulmonary microvas-cular endothelial cells(RPMECs)were incubated with different concentrations of Codonopsis sap-onins(5,10 and 20 mg/L).The expression level of PD-L1 was detected by RT-PCR and flow cy-tometry,and the contents of TNF-α,IFN-y and IL-10 in supernatant were detected by ELISA kit.The titer of H9N2 AIV in supernatant was detected by plaque method.Then,a co-culture system of RPMECs and T cells was established using a Transwell plate with an aperture of 8 μm to mimic the migration of circulating T cells across microvessels to the site of viral infection.RPMECs were cultured in the upper chamber of Transwell,inoculated with H9N2 AIV,supplemented with 20 mg/L Codonopsis saponins 1 h later,and T cells 36 h later.After 8 h of treatment,T cells in the lower compartment were collected and the proportions of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells were detected by flow cytometry,the expression levels of IL-2,IFN-y and granzyme B in the superna-tant were detected by ELISA,and the proportions of perforin-1 positive T cells were detected by flow cytometry.The proliferation activity of T cells was detected with the MTT cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit,and the percentage of apoptotic cells was detected by flow cytometry af-ter staining of T cells with Annexin V-FITC/PI.The experimental results showed that Codonopsis saponins could significantly reduce the expression level of PD-L1,IL-10 and TNF-α in RPMECs in-duced by H9N2 AIV infection,and reduce the apoptosis rate of T cells.However,the expression levels of IL-2,IFN-y,perforin-1 and granzyme B in transendothelial migration T cells and the pro-liferation activity of T cells were significantly increased.In this study,Codonopsis saponins can sig-nificantly inhibit the expression of H9N2 AIV-induced PD-L1 in RPMECs,enhance the antiviral function of T cells migrating across the endothelial layer,and enhance the resistance of host to H9N2 AIV.

Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)combined with Western medication on lower-limb motor function and blood circulation in patients with cerebral infarction-induced hemiplegia in the acute stage. Methods:One hundred eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke accompanied by lower-limb motor dysfunction were allocated to an observation group and a control group using the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received routine Western medications for treatment,and the observation group received additional EA intervention.After 2-week and 4-week treatments,the improvement of lower-limb motor function was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale for lower extremity(FMA-LE),and changes in the peak blood flow velocities of the posterior tibial(PT)and dorsalis pedis(DP)arteries on the affected side were detected using Doppler. Results:Three cases dropped out during the study,so there were 48 cases in the observation group and 49 in the control group collected for statistical analysis.The FMA-LE score and the peak blood flow velocities of PT and DP arteries increased after 2-week and 4-week treatments in both groups compared with the pre-treatment baseline(P<0.05).After 2-week treatments,the FMA-LE score and the peak blood flow velocities of PT and DP arteries showed no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).After 4-week treatments,compared with the control group,the FMA-LE score was higher(P<0.05),and the peak blood flow velocities of PT and DP arteries on the affected side were larger in the observation group(P<0.05). Conclusion:EA combined with Western medication can significantly improve the motor function and blood flow velocity of the affected lower limb in patients with acute cerebral infarction accompanied by hemiplegia.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Aim To explore the effect of kaempferol-7- 0-neohesperidoside (K70N) against prostate cancer (PCa) and the underlying mechanism. Methods The effect of K70N on the proliferation of PCa cell lines PC3, DU145, C4-2 and LNCaP was detected using CCK8 assay. The effect of K70N on migration ability of DU145 cells was determined by wound healing assay. The targets of K70N and PCa were screened from SuperPred and other databases. The common targets both related to K70N and PCa were obtained from the Venny online platform, a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed by the String and Cyto- scape. Meanwhile, the GO and KEGG functional enrichment were analyzed by David database. Then, a "drug-target-disease-pathway" network model was constructed. Cell cycle of PCa cells treated with K70N was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of cycle-associated proteins including Skp2, p27 and p21 protein were detected by Western blot. Molecular docking between Skp2 and K70N was conducted by Sybyl X2. 0. Results K70N significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of PCa cells. A total number of 34 drug-disease intersection targets were screened. The String results showed that Skp2 and p27, among the common targets, were the key targets of K70N for PCa treatment. Furthermore, GO and KEGG functional en-richment indicated that the mechanism was mainly related to the cell cycle. Flow cytometry showed that K70N treatment induced cell cycle arrest at the S phase. Compared with the control group, the protein expression level of Skp2 was significantly down-regulated, while the protein expression levels of p27 and p21 were up-regulated. The network molecular docking indicated that the ligand K70N had a good binding ability with the receptor Skp2. Conclusions K70N could inhibit the proliferation and migration of PCa cells, block the cell cycle in the S phase, which may be related to the regulation of cell cycle through the Skp2- p27/p21 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveBased on the network pharmacology system and quantitative spectroscopy of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） compounds， a topological network analysis method with equilibrium constant as the core was established to further explore the interaction between allergenic components and their network targets in Shuanghuanglian injection（SHLI）， in order to provide new ideas and experimental basis for identifying and screening potential allergens of SHLI. MethodAfter one week of adaptive feeding， 72 SPF-grade SD male rats were randomly divided into blank group， SHLI standard group， Lonicerae Japonicae Flos（LJF） group， Scutellariae Radix（SR） group， Forsythiae Fructus（FF） group， and 7 groups of SHLI matching groups（groups 1-7）， with 6 rats in each group. Rats in each group were administered the drug intravenously and blood samples were taken after steady state， high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） characterization profiles of the testing drugs and plasma components in each group were established， and the peak area changes of the drugs and plasma components in each group were calculated after the component groups were classified. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to determine the changes of immunoglobulin E（IgE）， histamine（HIS）， tryptase（TPS）， total complement（CH50） and terminal complement complex（C5b-9） in animal blood samples. MATLAB R2020b v9.9.0 software was used to calculate the network balance constants of the component groups with the targets， and the eigenvalues of the matrices composed of network equilibrium constants were calculated and ranked according to their values. ResultELISA results showed that， compared with the blank group， groups 1-3 could significantly increase the IgE level， groups 1-2， groups 4-6 and SHLI standard group could significantly increase the HIS level， group 4 could significantly increase the CH50 level， groups 1， 3-4， LJF group and FF group could significantly increase the TPS level， SR group could significantly increase the C5b-9 level， and the differences were all statistically significant（P<0.05）. According to the retention time of chromatographic peaks， it was classified into 6 component groups from C1 to C6 by HPLC. The order of the network balance constants of each component group was C6>C4>C1>C5>C3>C2， indicating that C6 had the greatest effect on the allergic reaction， and was most likely to be the allergen. The sequence of eigenvalues was C2>C5b-9>C3>C1>CH50>C6>C5>IgE>TPS>C4>HIS， indicating that component group C2 had the greatest contribution to the whole network. ConclusionBased on the correlation analysis of SHLI component group and allergy-like target network， this study clarified that component group C6 may be a potential allergen in SHLI， and the component group C2 may be a key node in the mechanism of drug action， which can provide new strategies and methods for the screening of allergens in TCM injections.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of endoscopy in obtaining the great saphenous vein （GSV） during coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） and explore the learning curve， with a particular focus on common challenges encountered during the learning process and their impact on early clinical outcomes. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 83 patients who underwent off-pump CABG with endoscopic GSV harvesting at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2013 to April 2014. Patients were categorized into four groups based on the chronological order of their hospitalization： Group A （novice group， n=20）， Group B （proficient group， n=20）， Group C （progressive group， n=20）， and Group D （mature group， n=23）. Differences in perioperative and midterm follow-up outcomes among the groups were analyzed to determine the learning curve period. ResultsThe study population had a mean age of （60.22±8.06） years and a mean body weight of （69.77±11.66） kg. Comorbidities included hypertension （24 cases）， diabetes （26 cases）， and subacute cerebral infarction （14 cases）. The novice group exhibited significantly shorter GSV length-to-harvest time ratio relative to the other three groups （P<0.001） and a significantly higher incidence of main vein damage （P=0.006）. However， there was no statistically significant difference in graft patency at the 1-year follow-up. ConclusionThorough and reliable technical training in endoscopic GSV harvesting is essential to minimize vascular injury caused by novice operators. Approximately 20 cases of hands-on experience and a careful self-analysis of procedural challenges are likely required to achieve proficiency in GSV harvesting.

Objective To investigate the ameliorative effect of sulforaphane on inflammatory response and airway remodeling in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Seventy-five SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group,the model group,and the low-,medium-,and high-dose groups of sulforaphane,with 15 rats in each group.Except for the normal group,the COPD model was prepared in the remaining group using aroma smoke inhalation combined with intratracheal droplet lipopolysaccharide(LPS)method.After the successful modelling,the rats were administered the drug by gavage for 28 days.At the end of the administration,the general conditions of the rats in each group were observed,and the lung function[forced vital capacity(FVC),peak expiratory flow-rate(PEF),forceful expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)]was examined,and the pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining method,and the indexes of airway remodeling(thickness of the bronchial wall,thickness of the smooth muscle)were measured;the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to examine the lung function of the rats.The levels of inflammatory factors[tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 1β(IL-1β)]were detected in lung tissue by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and changes in the protein expressions of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88),and nuclear transcription factor κB(NF-κB)were detected in lung tissue by Western Blot.Results(1)The rats in the model group had dry and lack of glossy fur,obvious coughing and nose scratching,shortness of breath,slow movement,and preferred to arch their backs and lie curled up;the rats in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups of sulforaphane showed significant improvement in shortness of breath,coughing,and other abnormal manifestations.(2)HE staining showed that the airway wall and smooth muscle of rats in the model group were thickened,the airway epithelium was damaged,and alveolar destruction,fusion,and massive infiltration of inflammatory cells were seen;the histopathological changes in the lungs of rats in the low-,medium-and high-dose groups of sulforaphane improved to varying degrees,with the airway wall becoming thinner,the degree of alveolar destruction being reduced,and the infiltration of inflammatory cells being reduced.(3)Compared with the normal group,FVC,PEF and FEV1 were significantly reduced in the model group(P＜0.05),and the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β,bronchial wall thickness,smooth muscle thickness,and the expression levels of TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB were significantly increased in the model group(P＜0.05);and in comparison with the model group,the levels of FVC,PEF,and FEV1 were significantly increased in the rats in the sulforaphane low-,medium-,and high-dose groups(P＜0.05),and the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β,bronchial wall thickness,smooth muscle thickness,and the expression levels of TLR4,MyD88,and NF-κB were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)compared with the model group.Conclusion Sulforaphane helps to inhibit the inflammatory response,attenuate airway remodeling,and improve the pathological injury and lung function of lung tissue in rats with COPD,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4,MyD88,and NF-κB protein expressions.

Objective : To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with abdominal type allergic purpura(HSP), to improve their diagnostic level, and to explore the risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding in HSP patients. Methods : A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical manifestations, laboratory data, imaging, endoscopic, and pathological characteristics of 98 patients with abdominal type HSP. Based on the occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding, 98 patients were divided into a bleeding group and a non-bleeding group, and the risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding in HSP patients were analyzed. Results : Abdominal HSP often presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, and bloody stools. Imaging often showed edema and thickening of the duodenum and jejunum, as well as enlargement of surrounding lymph nodes. Under endoscopy, the descending part of the duodenum and jejunum mucosa were commonly congested and edematous with erosion, and ulcers were seen in the distal ileum. Pathology commonly involved acute and chronic inflammation of the mucosa with congestion, edema, and local erosion. Patients with gastrointestinal bleeding had significantly higher levels of white blood cell count(WBC), neutrophil count(NEUT), C-reactive protein(CRP), D-dimer(D-D), and fibrinolytic products(FDP) compared to non-bleeding patients(P<0.05), while levels of red blood cell count(RBC), hemoglobin(HGB), and albumin(ALB) were significantly lower than those of non bleeding patients(P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased ALB and increased FDP were independent risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with abdominal HSP(P<0.05). The areas under the ROC curves of ALB and FDP were(AUC=0.877, 95%CI:0.794-0.960,P<0.01) and(AUC=0.806, 95%CI:0.722-0.890,P<0.01), respectively. The maximum value of the Jordan index for ALB was 0.734, with sensitivity and specificity of 89.6% and 83.9%, respectively, and had a critical value of 38.2 g/L. The maximum value of the Jordan index for FDP was 0.577, with sensitivity and specificity of 64.2% and 93.5%, respectively, and had a critical value of 18.14 μg/ml. There was no statistically significant difference in the ROC curves between ALB and FDP. Conclusion For HSP with abdominal pain as the initial symptom, imaging and endoscopic examination are helpful for early diagnosis. Decreased ALB and elevated FDP are independent risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding in adult patients with abdominal HSP.
