Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of category C intestinal infectious diseases among children and adolescents in Shenzhen from 2012 to 2024 and the association with meteorological factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for the targeted prevention and control of infectious diseases for children and adolescents. Methods: Using data from the "Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System" of the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System" covering the period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2024, the study analyzed clinical and confirmed cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease, other infectious diarrhea, and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis among individuals aged 6-19 years old to describe demographic and temporal characteristics. It used Joinpoint regression to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC) to analyze incidence trends, and Spearman s correlation was combined to generalize linear models so as to assess the association between category C intestinal infectious diseases and meteorological factors. Results: From 2012 to 2024, a cumulative total of 61 019 cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease among children and adolescents, 58 498 cases of other infectious diarrhea, and 6 377 cases of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis were reported. The AAPC in the incidence rates of these three diseases was 19.19%, 31.03% and 31.48 %, respectively(all P <0.05). Notably, the incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease increased significantly after 2022 (APC= 133.66 %, P <0.01). The temporal distribution showed that hand,foot,and mouth disease was most prevalent in May,June and July (seasonal index of 2.39,3.64,1.97), other infectious diarrhea was most prevalent in February,March and December (seasonal index of 1.22,1.25,1.47), and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis peaked in September and October (seasonal index of 4.22,2.16). Monthly average temperature could increase the risk of hand,foot,and mouth disease( β = 0.18 ,95% CI =0.11-0.25); as monthly average wind speed increased, the incidence of other infectious diarrhea ( β =-0.86, 95% CI = -1.50 to -0.22) and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis ( β =-1.32, 95% CI =-2.60 to -0.05) both decreased (all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Among children and adolescents in Shenzhen, category C intestinal infectious diseases remain prevalent throughout the year；the number of reported hand, foot, and mouth disease cases has shown an upward trend in recent years.Temperature and wind speed significantly affect the number of reported cases of three types with category C intestinal infectious diseases.

ObjectiveType I interferon (IFN-I) signaling is essential for antiviral innate immunity, yet its sustained or excessive activation contributes to the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases and interferonopathies, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. Current strategies targeting this pathway, exemplified by JAK inhibitors, act mainly on downstream signal transduction and provide limited direct control over upstream IFN-I production, while also carrying the risk of broad immunosuppression. Phyllanthus emblica L. has long been used in traditional medicine for inflammatory disorders, but the bioactive constituent responsible for its regulation of IFN-I signaling and the underlying molecular mechanism have not been clearly defined. This study aimed to identify the active anti-inflammatory component of P. emblica and to characterize its mechanism of action on the IFN-I pathway in macrophages. MethodsActive components ofP. emblica and their candidate targets were screened by network pharmacology using the TCMSP and DrugBank databases (oral bioavailability≥30%, drug-likeness≥0.18) and intersected with inflammation-related genes retrieved from public databases. The predicted interaction between EGCG and IFN-I pathway proteins (TBK1, IRF3, STAT1) was evaluated by molecular docking, with BX795 and GSK8612 used as reference TBK1 inhibitors. Mechanistic experiments were performed in THP-1-derived macrophages and primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). Upstream signaling was activated by transfection of the nucleic acid analogs poly(I∶C) and poly(dA∶dT) or by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, whereas downstream signaling was activated by exogenous IFN-β. An siRNA-mediated TREX1 knockdown model was used to mimic endogenous nucleic acid-driven interferonopathy. Expression of IFN-β1 and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) was measured by RT-qPCR, protein phosphorylation by Western blot, and IFN-β secretion by ELISA. Cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) and drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) were used to probe the interactionbetween EGCG and IRF3. ResultsNetwork pharmacology identified (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) as a candidate IFN-I-suppressive constituent of P. emblica, with predicted binding to TBK1, IRF3, and STAT1. Molecular docking yielded binding energies of -9.2, -7.2, and -8.2 kcal/mol for TBK1, IRF3, and STAT1, respectively, indicating an affinity for TBK1 comparable to that of the reference inhibitors BX795 (-5.7 kcal/mol) and GSK8612 (-6.4 kcal/mol). EGCG suppressed IFN-β1 and ISG mRNA expression under poly (I∶C), poly (dA∶dT), and LPS stimulation in both THP-1 macrophages and BMDM. At the protein level, EGCG reduced the phosphorylation of TBK1 and IRF3 without affecting the levels of the upstream sensors cGAS and RIG-I, and lowered IFN-β secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. CETSA and DARTS showed that EGCG did not enhance the thermal stability or protease resistance of IRF3, indicating that its effect on IRF3 is indirect. Following IFN-β stimulation, prolonged EGCG treatment reduced STAT1 phosphorylation in a time-dependent manner without an apparent change in IRF9, and partially attenuated ISG transcription; this effect was not monotonicly concentration-dependent, and CXCL10 showed the most consistent suppression. In TREX1-knockdown cells, the elevated mRNA levels of ISG15, ISG56, and CXCL10 were reduced by EGCG. ConclusionEGCG suppresses IFN-I responses by concurrently inhibiting TBK1-IRF3-dependent IFN‑β production and JAK-STAT1-mediated downstream transcription. These in vitro findings provide a mechanistic basis for the anti-inflammatory use of P. emblica in traditional medicine and identify EGCG as a candidate for further evaluation in interferon-driven autoimmune disease models.

Objective To explore the latent profile analysis of oral frailty in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions and to analyze the influencing factors of different potential profiles in order to provide a theoretical basis for constructing clinical intervention programs.Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions in a tertiary hospital in Hefei City from July to December 2024 as the survey subjects.General information questionnaire,the Chinese version of the Oral Frailty Index-8,Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short-Form,Consumer Health Activation Index and Family APGAR Index Questionnaire were used to conduct the survey,and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results A total of 418 elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions were included,with a total oral frailty score of(7.21±2.83).Oral frailty in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions can be classified into 3 potential profiles,namely severe oral frailty-low oral functioning group(60.53％),moderate oral frailty-high social behaviors group(8.85％),mild oral frailty-high oral health behavior group(30.62％).Age,family care,type of chronic disease,type of oral medication,and consumer health activation index were influential factors for different potential profiles(P＜0.05).Conclusion The oral frailty in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions was heterogeneous.Caregivers should focus on the severe oral frailty-low oral functioning group and the moderate oral frailty-high social behavior group,and develop targeted interventions according to the patients'different profile characteristics and influencing factors to prevent and delay the occurrence of oral frailty.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and symptoms of pertussis in patients with cough,and to predict individual risk based on the combination of symptoms.Methods A total of 1 025 patients with cough or contact with pertussis patients were included.Pertussis was confirmed by nasopharyngeal swab PCR.Patients were divided into the juvenile group(278 cases)and the adult group(747 cases)according to age.The duration of cough from onset to study participation,the visual analogue(VAS)score of cough degree and the number of basic symptoms(paroxysmal cough,vomiting after cough,crowing cough,pauses in breathing after cough and fever)were compared between the two groups.The confirmed patients were further grouped by age,and the different symptoms were compared.70%of the sample was used as the training set.Based on the combination of symptoms(paroxysmal cough,post-cough vomiting,chick-crooning cough and pauses in inspirations after coughing),multivariate Logistic regression was used to establish the prediction model and draw the nomogram.30%of the sample was used as the validation set,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn.The differentiation of the area under the curve(AUC)evaluation model was calculated.The calibration degree of the model was evaluated by Hosmer-Lemeshow test,and calibration curve was drawn to evaluate the model.Results By PCR,163 cases(15.9%)were confirmed as pertussis.The juvenile group had a longer duration of cough from onset to study participation than the adult group(P＜0.05).The VAS score of cough severity was higher,and the number of basic symptoms of pertussis was more(P＜0.01).In confirmed cases,the proportion of paroxysmal cough,vomiting after cough,crowing cough and inspiratory pause after cough was higher in the juvenile group than that in the adult group(P＜0.01).In the diagnosed cases,the incidence of paroxysmal cough and post-cough vomiting were higher in the＜1-year-old group compared to the 1-9-year-old group and the≥10-year-old group(P＜0.05).The combination of paroxysmal cough,vomiting after cough,crowing cough and inspiratory pause after cough was selected by Logistic regression analysis to establish a nomogram model.The AUC of this model in the training set was 0.852,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=0.208,P=0.901,and in the verification set,the AUC was 0.899,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=4.202,P=0.122.The predicted value in the calibration curve was very close to the theoretical value in the training set and the verification set,and the fitting degree was high.Conclusion The infection rate of pertussis is high in patients with cough.The nomogram model based on combined symptoms has a better prediction effect on pertussis differentiation,which can provide reference for the monitoring of pertussis.

Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the level of the three medical linkage in China from 2009 to 2022,explore the influencing factors and driving paths of the three medical linkage in China,and provide a new perspective for promoting the development of the three medical linkage.Methods:An optimized coupling coordination degree model was used to calculate the coupling coordination degree between the trinity healthcare systems and different binary systems within the systems in 31 provinces of China(excluding Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan),and the Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis method was used to explore the condition configurations of multi-factor-driven three medical linkage.Results:From 2009 to 2022,the coupling coordination degree between the trinity healthcare systems in each province of China generally showed an increasing trend year by year.Among the binary systems,the overall coordinated development situation between the medical and medical insurance systems was the best and the regional development was the most balanced.The coupling coordination degree gap between the trinity healthcare system and the internal binary systems among provinces gradually widened,and the multi-polarization trend intensified.The paths to promote high-level three medical linkage can be summarized into two types:internal and external balanced development type(H1)and government-led type(H2,H3),among which the H1 path with per capita GDP and health expenditure as core conditions was the most common.Conclusion:It is suggested to enhance institutional and technological innovation,and integrate resources through a cross-departmental collaboration mechanism and digital technology.Provinces should select high-level optimization paths by leveraging regional endowments to narrow the regional development gap.Meanwhile,under the impetus of high-level policies,the protection and supervision system continues to improve,thereby promoting the three medical linkage.

Non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)refers to a mental disorder characterized by deliberate self-harm behaviors without suicidal intent.The pathogenesis of NSSI remains unclear,but may be related to abnormalities in reward circuitry,pain processing,emotion regulation,impulse control and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.Task state functional MRI(fMRI)provides valuable insights into the intrinsic connections and neural circuits mechanisms underlying NSSI during various task states or behaviors.Research progresses of task state fMRI in pathogenesis of NSSI were reviewed in this article.

Objective:To explore applications of adjusting timing of nebulization and analgesic usage in patients after lung cancer surgery, to provide reference for postoperative rehabilitation of lung cancer.Methods:Adopting a prospective randomized controlled study design, a total of 84 patients with lung cancer who underwent surgery in affiliated hospital of Jining Medical University from September 2020 to June 2023 were enrolled by a convenience sampling method, they were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table method. Two groups was given routine perioperative care, on this basis, the control group received lip and abdomen contraction breathing training according to the conventional process, and the experimental group adjusted timing of nebulization and analgesic usage and received respiratory function training when nebulization and analgesics were at the peak of blood drug concentration. Pain level and exercise self-efficacy of two groups were compared.Results:There were 27 males and 15 females in the control group, aged (54.52 ± 14.06) years; and 24 males and 18 females in the experimental group, aged (53.33 ± 12.02) years. At one day, two days and three days after operation, the scores of Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) were (5.07 ± 0.84), (3.40 ± 0.49), (2.93 ± 0.87) in the experimental group, lower than (5.86 ± 1.05), (4.09 ± 0.88), (3.33 ± 0.65) in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.79, 4.44.2.42, all P<0.05), and for both groups, the differences in the time effect, between-group effect, and the interaction effect were all statistically significant ( F=582.92, 44.65, 3.82, all P<0.05). Three days after operation, the dimensions of efficacy expectation, outcome expectation and total self-efficacy scores were (28.62 ± 6.75), (33.71 ± 7.04) and (62.33 ± 9.07) in the experimental group, and (25.52 ± 6.66), (30.43 ± 6.80) and (55.95 ± 9.34) in the control group, the differences were statically significant ( t=2.12, 2.18, 3.18, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Adjusting timing of nebulization and analgesic usage and giving respiratory function training for lung cancer surgery when nebulization and analgesics at the peak of blood drug concentration can effectively alleviate the pain caused by respiratory exercise and improve training self-efficacy of patients after lung cancer surgery.

Objective:To understand the clinical application of magnesium sulfate injection in inpatients of the obstetrical department, and analyze retrospectively its rationality and existing problems.Methods:The clinical data of obstetric inpatients who used magnesium sulfate injection in the hospital information system of our hospital from September 2022 to January 2023 were collected. Based on the drug instructions, guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, domestic and foreign guidelines, and literature reports, the rationality of magnesium sulfate injection in terms of obstetric medication indications, dosage and administration, and treatment course was evaluated.Results:A total of 303 obstetric patients were included in the use of magnesium sulfate injection, with an age of 32 (ranging from 18 to 44) years and a gestational age of 14 to 40 weeks. Among them, 33 cases were used for threatened abortion, 141 cases for threatened preterm birth, and 129 cases for the prevention of eclampsia attacks. Among the 303 patients, 134 cases (44.22%) had no indications for medication. Among them, 13 patients with threatened abortion were treated for fetal brain protection, and 20 patients with threatened abortion and 101 patients with threatened preterm birth were treated for preventing miscarriage by uterine contraction inhibition. There were 118 cases (38.94%) with inappropriate administration methods, mainly due to inappropriate usage and dosage, as well as overly long treatment courses. Of them, 26 cases (22.03%, 26/118) used for brain protectors of premature fetuses were not given loading doses, 15 (12.71%, 15/118) cases had a total medication duration of more than 48 hours, 76 cases (64.41%, 76/118) used for the prevention of eclampsia were not given loading dose, and 1 case (0.85%, 1/118) received rapid infusion time of the loading dose more than 30 minutes. Among the 303 patients, 3 patients presented nausea and vomiting, constipation, and skin flushing, respectively.Conclusions:Nearly half of the magnesium sulfate injection used in obstetrics department in our hospital has inappropriate indications and over one-third has non-standard usage, dosage, and treatment courses. Clinicians should comprehensively assess the patient′s condition and strictly follow recommended methods in the guidelines and drug instructions for standardized use.
