Sangjuyin， as a pungent and cooling agent with precise therapeutic effect， is a classic pungent formula for cooling relief of the epidermis， which is highly respected by medical practitioners. This formula is from the Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Jutong in the Qing dynasty， on the basis of which subsequent medical practitioners have made additions and subtractions to apply it. The authors used the bibliometric method to systematically organize the medical books from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China and modern literature to analyze the composition， concoction， decoction， efficacy， and previous and modern application of Sangjuyin. After examination， the drug base of this formula is basically clear. Armeniacae Semen Amarum is the dried mature seeds of Armeniaca vulgaris， family Rosaceae. Forsythiae Fructus is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa， family Mulleinaceae. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba is the dried above-ground part of Mentha haplocalyx， family Labiatae. Mori Folium is the dried leaves of Morus alba， family Moraceae. Chrysanthemi Flos is the dried head of Chrysanthemum morifolium， family Asteraceae. Platycodonis Radix is the dried root of Eryngium grandiflorum， family Eryngium. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of the Leguminosae family， and Phragmitis Rhizoma is the fresh or dried rhizome of Phragmites communis of the Gramineae family. It is recommended that the eight drugs be used in raw form as medicine. The dosage and method of decoction were converted into a modern single dosage of 7.46 g Armeniacae Semen Amarum， 5.60 g Forsythiae Fructus， 2.98 g Menthae Haplocalycis Herba， 9.33 g Mori Folium， 3.73 g Chrysanthemi Flos， 7.46 g Platycodonis Radix， 2.98 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 11.19 g Phragmitis Rhizoma， with 400 mL water added， and the solution was boiled to obtain 200 mL， taken twice a day. Sangjuyin has the efficacy of dispersing wind and clearing heat， promoting lung and relieving cough， and it is used for treating the initial onset of wind-warmth and the evidence of evil spirits in the lungs and collaterals. Modern research has shown that Sangjuyin is often used in the treatment of cough， pneumonia， rhinitis， and other respiratory diseases， and the results of this study provide a reference for the later development of Sangjuyin.

Objective:To establish a digital reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction（dRT-PCR）detection method for hepatitis E virus（HEV）using nanoplates，and to provide technical reference for HEV monitoring in shellfish by combining virus enrichment pretreatment methods.Methods:The annealing temperature，primer and probe concentrations of HEV dRT-PCR were optimized，and the specificity of the method was evaluated；the sensitivity of this method for detecting HEV in water samples and oyster extracts was compared. The inhibition rate and recovery rate of HEV detection in artificially contaminated oyster samples were calculated，commercially available oyster samples were tested，and compare them with real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR（qRT-PCR）method.Results:The optimized annealing temperature for HEV dRT-PCR was determined to be 60 ℃，and the final concentrations of primers and probes were 0.4 μmol/L，0.4 μmol/L，and 0.2 μmol/L，respectively，indicating good specificity. The sensitivity of both methods for detecting HEV RNA in water samples was higher than that in oyster extracts. The recovery rates of HEV in oyster specimens contaminated with HEV fecal suspension by dRT-PCR and qRT-PCR were 18.76% and 18.36%，respectively，with no statistically significant difference（ P>0.05）；the inhibition rates were 17.26% and 9.58%，respectively，with statistically significant differences（ P<0.05）；55 commercially available oyster samples were tested，and both methods detected HEV RNA positivity in the same sample. Conclusion:The dRT-PCR method established in this study，combined with “proteinase K digestion，PEG/NaCl precipitation，and chloroform/n-butanol extraction” pretreatment，has a good recovery effect on HEV in shellfish food containing a large amount of PCR inhibitors，and can achieve absolute quantification. It has certain application value in monitoring and risk assessment of HEV in shellfish food.

Objective:To explore the relationship between urinary cadmium levels and thyroid hormone levels in people aged 40-89 years old in selected areas of China.Methods:Based on the "Investigation of the Impact of Soil Quality of Agricultural Land on Human Health in Typical Areas" project from October 2019 to August 2020, a multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to include 6 588 middle-aged and older adults aged 40-89. Demographic characteristics, dietary frequency and disease status were collected through the questionnaire and physical examination. Urinary cadmium and urinary creatinine were detected by random midstream urine. Fasting venous blood was collected for the detection of Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4). The linear mixed effects model was used to explore the association of urine cadmium levels with thyroid hormone levels. Its dose-response relationship was explored by using the restricted cubic spline.Results:The age of the subjects was (63.48±12.18) years, with males accounting for 51.28%. The M ( Q 1,Q 3) of urinary cadmium level, T3 and T4 was 2.48 (1.36, 4.42) μg/g·creatinine, (1.96±0.51) nmol/L and (113.75±29.11) nmol/L, respectively. The linear mixed effects model showed that the changes of T3 and T4 were 0.027 (0.009, 0.044) nmol/L and 2.019 (1.084, 2.953) nmol/L for each one-unit increase (natural logarithm transformed) of urinary cadmium. The restricted cubic spline showed that there was a positive nonlinear association between urinary cadmium and T3 as well as T4 (all Pnonlinear<0.05). Conclusion:In selected areas of China, the urinary cadmium level of middle-aged and older adults aged 40-89 years is positively associated with T3 and T4.

Objective:To evaluate the levels and source of cadmium exposure by dietary pathway among middle-aged and elderly people ≥40 in cadmium-contaminated areas of China.Methods:A total of 7 193 people aged 40-89 years from four typical cadmium-contaminated areas in China were selected as the study subjects. Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Total Diet Study (TDS) and a 3-day-24-hour dietary recall survey were conducted. Dietary cadmium intake and food sources through dietary pathways were assessed based on cadmium content in foods, consumption amounts and intake frequencies.Results:The mean age of the participants was 63.39±12.21 years, with 50.05% being males. The average monthly dietary cadmium intake was 7.39 μg/(kg·BW). Staple foods and vegetables were the primary sources of dietary cadmium intake, accounting for 57.51% and 32.48%, respectively. The monthly dietary cadmium intake in all surveyed regions did not exceed the Provisional Tolerable Monthly Intake (PTMI) recommended by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).Conclusion:The monthly dietary cadmium intake among middle-aged and elderly people in cadmium-contaminated areas of China is relatively low, with the risk remaining at an acceptable level. Staple foods and vegetables are the most significant contributors to dietary cadmium intake.

OBJECTIVE To standardize the strategies for prevention and control of Chikungunya(CHIK)in healthcare in-stitutions so as to reduce the risk of transmission in the institutions.METHODS A working group comprising the ex-perts in hospital infection control,infectious diseases,and microbiology systematically reviewed domestic and international evidence and current guidelines,integrated China's vector ecology and healthcare realities,conducted two rounds of Delphi to achieve expert consensus,and graded the evidence and recommendation strength using the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine system.RESULTS The consensus issues 18 actionable recommendations on triage,patient mosquito-proof isolation,integrated vector control,protection of susceptible populations,environmental cleaning and disinfection,specimen management,medical textile handling,and outbreak emergency response,with each statement assigned an evi-dence level and recommendation strength.CONCLUSION This consensus is for the first time in China to provide evidence-graded strategies for control of CHIK in healthcare institutions,offering work flow-oriented,implementable guidance for clinicians,laboratorians,and infection-control personnel under different risk scenarios and enhancing the comprehensive coping capacity of the healthcare institutions.

Objective:To compare enrichment and nucleic acid detection method for hepatitis E virus (HEV) in simulated cola samples.Methods:Cola samples experimentally contaminated with HEV were enriched using positively charged filter membrane-direct lysis (Method 1), tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane-direct lysis (Method 2), and Method 3 and 4 (with the addition of a PCR inhibitor removal step on the basis of Method 1 and 2, respectively), and were assayed by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR(RT-qPCR), and the recoveries and inhibition rates were compared. Digital RT-PCR(RT-dPCR) and RT-qPCR were applied to detect the recovery of HEV in different medium and low concentrations of experimentally contaminated cola samples; and the inhibition rate and sensitivity of HEV RNA detection in different matrices.Methods 3 was selected for virus enrichment of 8 commercially available cola specimens, RT-qPCR and RT-dPCR for HEV RNA detection.Results:The HEV recoveries of method 3 and 4 (10.44% and 10.16%) were higher than those of method 1 and 2 (4.89% and 0.32%), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The inhibition rates of method 3 and 4 were smaller than the inhibition rates of method 1 and 2. The recoveries of HEV in medium concentration artificially contaminated cola samples by RT-qPCR and RT-dPCR were 17.04% and 16.28%, respectively, and for low concentration artificially contaminated cola samples were 6.91% and 4.65%, respectively, and the differences in recoveries between the two assays at the same concentration were not statistically significant ( P=0.260, P=0.107 ); Cola matrix inhibits the detection of both RT-qPCR and RT-dPCR assays. Eight commercially available cola specimens were negative for HEV. Conclusions:Detection of HEV in cola beverages can be done by positively charged filter membrane-direct lysis + inhibitor removal (method 3) or tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane-direct lysis + inhibitor removal (method 4) enrichment, followed by RT-dPCR or RT-qPCR, with a high recovery of virus detection.
