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 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 investigate the effects of scoparone(Sco)on proliferation and invasion of colon cancer cell line HCT116,and its effect on the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR).Methods 1)HCT116 cells were divided into control group,50Sco group,100Sco group and 200Sco group.The cells in con-trol group were incubated with culture medium for 48 hrs.The 50Sco group,100Sco group and 200Sco group were incubated with 50,100 and 200 μmol/L scoparone for 48 hrs respectively.2)HCT116 cells were divided into con-trol group,NC-200Sco group,NC-LV+200Sco group and EGFR-LV+200Sco group.The control group was incuba-ted with normal culture medium for 48 hrs.NC-200Sco group was incubated with 200 μmol/L scoparone for 48 hrs.NC-LV and EGFR-LV were infected into HCT116 cells in NC-LV+200Sco group and EGFR-LV+200Sco group,then incubated with 200 μmol/L scoparone for 48 hrs.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay and EdU stai-ning,cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and cell invasion was detected by Transwell assay.EGFR mRNA was detected by RT-qPCR,the level of EGFR,Bcl-2,Bax,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-2 and MMP-9 protein was detected by Western blot.Results Compared to the control group,the cell viability,proportion of EdU positive cells and counting number of invasive cells in 50Sco group,100Sco group and 200Sco group all decreased(P＜0.05).Cell apoptosis rate and Bax protein expression increased(P＜0.05),the protein expression of Bcl-2,MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased(P＜0.05).mRNA and protein expression of EGFR were de-creased(P＜0.05).Compared with NC-200 Sco group and NC-LV+200Sco group,the expression level of mRNA and protein of EGFR in EGFR-LV+200Sco group was increased(P＜0.05).Cell viability,proportion of EdU posi-tive cells and counting number of invasive cells all increased(P＜0.05).The cell apoptosis rate and Bax protein expression level were decreased(P＜0.05).The protein expression of Bcl-2,MMP-2 and MMP-9 was increased(P＜0.05).Conclusions Scoparone has anti-colon cancer cell activity and inhibits proliferation as well as invasion of colon cancer cells through inhibition of EGFR.

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.

Robotic surgery is known as the"third technological revolution"in the field of surgery,and is an important milestone in the development of modern surgery.However,our country's innovative surgical robot industry is still in its early stages,and it is only being utilized in certain surgical fields.To explore the effectiveness of the application of do-mestic surgical robot in oral and maxillofacial surgery,the author successfully completed a case of benign parotid tumor resection with the assistance of a domestic autonomous robot.The operation was successful,facial nerve function was preserved,and postoperative wound healing was good.

Objective To explore the impact of bisphenol A(BPA)exposure on liver lipid metabolism in C57BL/6J mice and uncover the mechanisms at work.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice,aged eight weeks,were stratified into six cohorts:a control group on a standard diet(ND),a group on a standard diet with low-dose BPA(BPA-50 ND),a group on a standard diet with high-dose BPA(BPA-500 ND),a control groupon a high-fat diet(HFD),a group on a high-fat diet with low-dose BPA(BPA-50 HFD),and a group on a high-fat diet with high-dose BPA(BPA-500 HFD).Dosages for the low-and high-dose BPA groups were 50 and 500 μg/(kg·d),respectively,administered via gavage over a duration of 12 weeks.Hepatic tissue underwent histological examination through he-matoxylin and eosin(HE)staining.Furthermore,the expression levels of miR-122-5p and miR-143-3p in hepatic tissue,in addition to interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-10 in peripheral serum,were quantitatively measured employing quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),respectively.Results Histopathological analysis via HE staining indicated intact hepatic lobule archi-tecture in the ND group,whereas other groups displayed variable degrees of lipid droplet accumulation and damage to hepatic lobules.Notably,supplementation with BPA,particularly in conjunction with a high-fat diet,led to a progressive increase in IL-6 levels and a decrease in IL-10 levels in peripheral blood.In the context of a standard diet,an augmentation in BPA concentration corresponded with a decline in the expression of miR-122-5p and miR-143-3p.Conversely,within the high-fat diet cohort,enhanced BPA concentrations were associated with increased expressions of these microRNAs.Pearson correlation analysis disclosed a significant positive correlation between the expression of miR-122-5p and miR-143-3p and the level of IL-10 in the standard diet group(P＜0.01).In the high fat diet group,the expression level of miR-122-5p was positively correlated with the concentration of IL-6(P＜0.05),and the expression level of miR-143-3p was negatively correlated with the concentration of IL-10(P＜0.05).Conclusion BPA can induce the occurrence and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)by regulating the expression of miR-122-5p and miR-143-3p and regulating the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-10.
