Objective To investigate influenza awareness of community residents in Nanchang under routine epidemic management using the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice(KAP)framework.Methods A structured questionnaire,including four do-mains(disease overview,prevention,diagnosis,and treatment),was designed and administered via street and online surveys from December 2023 to February 2024.Statistical analyses,including chi-square tests and logistic regression,were performed to identify determinant factors.Results A total of 303 valid questionnaires were retrieved,with an effective rate of approximately 94.7％.Community residents in Nanchang demonstrated a certain degree of understanding of the overview,prevention,diagno-sis,and treatment of influenza,although some gaps were identified.Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differ-ences in influenza cognition scores among urban and rural residents(P＜0.05),residents with different educational levels(P＜0.05)and exposure levels to influenza education(P＜0.05).Multivariate regression analysis identified these as influencing fac-tors for influenza awareness.Conclusion Collaborative efforts from the government,individuals,and various societal sectors are essential to enhance the public's overall ability to prevent and control influenza.

Objective To screen the anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae(Spn)active ingredients in vitro from different po-lar parts of Pilea peltata,and to examine the combined antibacterial effect of the active ingredient and amoxicillin(AMX).Methods A 96-well plate microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of different polar parts;the most active polar part was separated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography,and the active ingre-dients were identified using spectral technology.The fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC)of active ingredients and AMX was determined by the 96-well plate chessboard microdilution method.The crystal violet method was used to investigate the effect of ac-tive ingredients on Spn biofilm.The effect of active ingredients on the appearance and morphology of Spn was investigated under the electron microscope.Results The MICs of the petroleum ether part,chloroform part,ethyl acetate part,n-butanol part,and water part were 1.000,1.000,0.500,1.000,and 2.000 mg·mL-1 respectively,among which the ethyl acetate part had the stron-gest antibacterial activity.Three compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate,namely 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone 1,8-O-(p-coumaroyl)-1(10)E,4(5)E-humuladien-8-ol 2 and 1-O-p-coumaroyl copaborneol 3.These compounds were all isolated for the first time from Pilea peltate,their MICs against Spn were 200.000,50.000,and 25.000 μg·mL-1 respectively,and the compound 3 had the strongest antibacterial activity;the FIC value of AMX and compound 3 was 0.50,which had a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn.Both AMX and compound 3 had inhibitory effects on Spn biofilm,but the biofilm inhibition rate of compound 3(59.10±1.04％)was significantly lower than AMX(87.38±0.84)％(P＜0.01);Moreover,there was no significant difference in biofilm inhibition rate between the combination of the two and AMX(P＞0.05).The scanning electron microscope results showed that the bacterial cells in the compound 3 group had a smooth surface but varying degrees of depression.The surface of the bacteri-al cells in the AMX group and the AMX combined compound 3 group showed severe swelling and rupture.Conclusions Fla-vonoids and sesquiterpenoids are both the anti-Spn active components of Pilea peltate.Among them,sesquiterpenoids have more potent antibacterial activity,and their antibacterial action mechanism is related to inhibiting bacterial biofilms.Compound 3 and AMX have a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn,but its mechanism of action is not by enhancing biofilm inhibition;although compound 3 cannot destroy the cell wall of Spn,it still has a negative impact on the appearance of the bacteria.

Objective To investigate the effects of rotating pulsed magnetic field on platelet derived growth factor a (PDGF-A) expression in periodontal tissue during tooth movement. Methods 30 white rabbits were random divided into 6 groups with 5 rabbits each group,including groups of 1,3,5,7,14 and 21 days. Under anesthesia condition by 2% pentobarbital sodium,the stainless coil springs were fixed between the first maxillary molar and the incisor producing the force of 80g. The experimental group was treated by rotating pulsed magnetic field and the force, the control group was only treated by t he force. The expression of PDGF-A was half-quantitatively investigated through immunohistochemical analysis. Results The expression of PDGF-AA in the experimental group enhanced apparently compared with that in the control group. There were significant differences among the 5,7, and 14day groups (5. 28 ± 0. 14 vs 2. 03 ±0. 18,7.63±0.27 vs 2. 84 ±0. 12,3.52 ±0. 16 vs 1.65 ±0.03;8.10±0.13 vs 4. 30 ±0. 21,13. 27 ±0. 31 vs 6.47 ± 0.15,5.66 ± 0.22 vs 3. 15 ± 0. 27, P ＜ 0. 05). The expression of PDGF-AA of 7 day group was higher than that of other groups. Conclusion Rotating pulsed magnetic field promotes the expression of PDGF-A in the periodontal tissue and alveolar bone remodeling.
