Objective To understand the capacity of technical support institutions for occupational disease prevention and treatment in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred as "Ningxia"). Methods The basic data of 26 technical support institutions for occupational disease prevention and treatment in Ningxia in 2023 were collected through the "National Management Platform for Technical Support Institutions for Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment". The status of these institutions was investigated, and their qualifications, human resources, equipment allocation, and testing capacities were analyzed. Results Among the 26 technical support institutions for occupational disease prevention and treatment in Ningxia, all were qualified occupational disease surveillance institutes, eight were qualified occupational hazard factor monitoring institutes, two were qualified occupational medical examination institutes, one was a qualified occupational diagnosis institute, one was a qualified occupational treatment institute, four were qualified for radiological health technical services, and one was qualified for occupational health technical services. A total of 168 professionals engaged in occupational diseases prevention and treatment, with the majority holding a bachelor degree and junior professional titles, accounting for 66.1% and 40.5%, respectively. The technical support institutions for occupational disease prevention and treatment of the district level,city level and county level of Ningxia were provided with 121, 68 and 32 instruments and equipment respectively on average,and the number of testing items of occupational hazard factors which the institutions of aforementioned levels are 50.0,17.0 and 1.3 respectively. Conclusion The technical support institutions for occupational disease prevention and treatment in Ningxia show insufficient qualifications and capacities, inadequate professional staff, imbalanced talent structure, incomplete equipment allocation, weak testing capacity, and an underdeveloped support system.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety,and economy of tislelizumab(TIS)as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang Data,SinoMed databases and health technology assessment(HTA)websites were electronically searched to collect the HTA report,systematic review/Meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic research of TIS as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC from the inception to April 30,2024.Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data,and evaluated quality,and qualitative descriptive methods were used for rapid health technology assessment(rHTA).Results A total of 9 articles were included,in which 7 systematic review/Meta-analysis and 2 pharmacoeconomic studies.In terms of effectiveness,compared with chemotherapy(CT),TIS+CT could improve the progression free survival(PFS)and objective response rate(ORR)of advanced NSCLC patients.It could also improve PFS in patients with advanced NSCLC who have the any expression of programmed cell death receptor ligand-1(PD-L1),with or without liver metastasis,aged＞65 years or＜65 years,and with a history of smoking;Compared with CT,TIS+CT could improve the PFS of advanced non squamous NSCLC patients,and could increase the PFS of advanced non squamous NSCLC patients with PD-L1＞50％;Compared with CT,TIS+CT could improve the PFS of patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma NSCLC in stages ⅢB and IV,with PD-L1 being 1％-49％,PD-L1＞50％,male,age＞65 years old,smoking history,ECOG score of 1 point.In terms of safety,compared with camrelizumab+CT and atezolizumab+bevacizumab+CT,TIS+CT could reduce the incidence of serious adverse reactions.In terms of economics,for non squamous NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)mutations and gradual lymphoma kinase(ALK)rearrangements,TIS+CT had certain cost-effectiveness advantages compared to CT in China.The subgroup analysis results showed that the first-line TIS+CT regimen had greater survival benefits in non squamous NSCLC patients with PD-L1 expression＞50％,liver metastasis,and a history of smoking.Conclusion TIS+CT first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC has good efficacy,safety,and economy.

Aim To investigate the effect of quercetin(Que)on podocyte inflammatory injury and the under-lying mechanism.Methods MPC5 cells were divided into normal glucose group(NG),mannitol group(MA),high glucose group(HG)and high glucose+quercetin group(HG+Que).Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry.The expression of SIRT1,STAT3,apoptosis-related proteins(Bax,Bcl-2,caspase-3)and pyroptosis pro-tein GSDME was detected by Western blot.The ex-pression levels of inflammatory factors(IL-6,TNF-α,IL-18,IL-1β)in cell supernatants were detected by ELISA.Then small interfering RNA technology was used to knockdown SIRT1 expression.To further eval-uate the biological significance of SIRT1 in response to high glucose and Que treatment,negative control group(HG+si-NC+Que)and SIRT1 interference group(HG+si-SIRT1+Que)were added in the presence of high glucose and Que.Results Compared with the high glucose group,40 μmol·L-1 Que could alleviate the apoptosis of MPC5 cells induced by high glucose,decrease the expression of apoptosis related protein Bax and caspase-3,as well as increase the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2;ELISA results showed that Que could decrease the expression of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1 β and IL-18 induced by high glucose.Mechanical-ly,Que could alleviate the inhibitory effect of high glu-cose on the expression of SIRT1,and further decrease the activation of STAT3 and N-GSDME,and inhibit pyroptosis.Compared with the si-NC group,si-SIRT1 group could reverse the protective effect of Que on the high glucose induced inflammatory damage of podo-cytes,the expression of apoptotic proteins Bax and caspase-3 increased,while the expression of anti-apop-totic protein Bcl-2 decreased.At the same time,the levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1 βand IL-18 in supernatants increased,and the expres-sion of STAT3 and N-GSDME increased.Conclusion Que could inhibit pyroptosis and relieve the inflam-matory damage of podocytes through SIRT1/STAT3/GSDME pathway.

Aim To observe the behavioral effects of exogenous allopregnanolone(ALLO)and its inhibitor finasteride on the receptive period(R)and non-recep-tive period(NR)of PMDD liver-qi inversion model rats and the expression of GABAARα4,GABAARδ mR-NA and protein effects to explore its pathogenesis.Methods The PMDD liver-qi reverse syndrome rat model was prepared.The rats were divided into the normal group R and NR(control-R,control-NR),model group R and NR(Model-R,Model-NR),nor-mal group R+ALLO and NR+ALLO(Control+A-R,Control+A-NR),and model group R+ALLO and NR+ALLO(Model+A-R,Model+A-NR),model group R+finasteride and NR+finasteride(Model+F-R,Model+F-NR).The elevated cross labyrinth ex-periment and social interaction experiment were used to detect the behaviors of rats;fluorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of GABAARα4 and 8 mRNA and protein in rat amygdala and hippocampus.Results In the be-havioral evaluation,in the NR period,in the elevated cross maze test and in the social interaction test,the rats in the model group had anxiety behavior and de-creased social communication ability(P＜0.05),while the rats in the Model+A group could effectively relieve anxiety symptoms and improve their social com-munication ability(P＜0.05),and the rats in the Model+F group had increased anxiety behavior and social disorder(P＜0.05).In fluorescence quantita-tive PCR and immunofluorescence experiments,the ex-pression of GABAARα4 subunit in the model group was up-regulated in the hippocampus(P＜0.01),and the expression of δ subunit was down-regulated(P＜0.01);the expression of GABAARα4 subunit in the a-mygdala and hippocampus of the Model+A group de-creased(P＜0.01),and the expression of δ subunit increased in the hippocampus(P＜0.01).Conclu-sions The abnormal expression of GABAARα4 and 8 subunits mediated by ALLO improves the anxiety symptoms and social interaction ability of PMDD,which is the pathogenesis of PMDD liver-qi reverse syndrome,and provides basis and support for subse-quent exploration of the pathogenesis of PMDD liver-qi reverse syndrome.

This study analyzed the epidemic characteristics and spatial and temporal clustering of leptospirosis in Wenzhou from 2014 to 2023,to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control.Data for leptospirosis cases reported in Wenzhou from 2014 to 2023 were collected.Descriptive epidemiological approaches were used to analyze the cases'prevalence character-istics.Spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed in ArcGIS 10.2 software,and spatiotemporal clusters were scanned with SaTScan 10.1 software.From 2014 to 2023,189 leptospirosis cases were reported in Wenzhou,and the average annual inci-dence rate was 0.23/100 000.Relatively fewer cases occurred in 2014-2018,whereas significantly more cases occurred after 2019,and the largest number of reported cases was reported in 2021(62 cases).The peak incidence was from August to Octo-ber,accounting for 88.36％of the total incidence.The cases were mainly in males,and the sex ratio was 5.30∶1 male:female.Moreover,the cases were mainly in people in their 60s,accounting for 59.26％of total cases,and in people who were farmers,accounting for 72.49％of total cases.Global spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated that cases were randomly distributed from 2014 to 2018,and the incidence showed spatial clustering from 2019 to 2023(Moran's I＞0,P＜0.05).Local spatial autocor-relation and spatiotemporal scanning analysis revealed that leptospirosis cases were concentrated primarily in northern hilly areas of Yongjia County and other inland areas rich in vegetation from 2019 to 2023.In the past 5 years,the number of lepto-spirosis cases in Wenzhou increased,and the incidence of leptospirosis showed clear seasonal and spatial clustering.Cases were mainly in middle-aged and older farmers.Recommendations in-clude expanding the monitoring scope of leptospirosis,and per-forming prevention and control measures such as health education for key groups in key areas before the high-incidence season.

Pancreatic polypeptide(PP),a pancreatic hormone containing 36 amino acids,plays impor-tant roles in the diagnosis and evaluation of pancreatic function,injury and diseases.In this study,a phage nanobody library against PP was constructed to screen specific PP nanobodies,which would be used to evaluate whether they have binding activity with PP antigen.After PP antigen with high purity was prepared by prokaryotic expression system,it was used to immunize alpaca to construct the nanobody li-brary against PP with high storage capacity and high abundance,from which 8 strains of PP nanobodies were obtained by phage display.One of nanobody strain(PP-VHH)was selected to be expressed in a prokaryotic expression system,which was induced overnight by IPTG.After purification and identifica-tion,the antigen-antibody binding activity and PP level in serum were detected by indirect ELISA and Sandwich ELISA methods,respectively.The results showed that PP-VHH had binding activity with PP,which could be used to detect PP in chicken and human serum.The Sandwich ELISA methods with R2 of the fitting curve 0.9868 could be used to detect PP concentrations of 48-55 pg/mL in the serum of chick-ens,while the concentrations of PP in human serum varied significantly.In summary,PP-VHH screened from nanobody library against PP could detect PP in serum,which would supply the basis for evaluation of abnormal pancreatic function and diagnosis of relative disease.
