Objective:To investigate the status of hepatitis E virus infection in unpaid blood donors in Wenzhou.Methods:A total of 5 241 blood samples were selected from donors who successfully donated blood between October 2022 and March 2023. These samples were tested for hepatitis E virus (HEV) through HEV-IgG antibodies, HEV-IgM antibodies, and nucleic acid tests (HEV RNA). Samples that tested positive for HEV RNA underwent quantitative detection and sequencing. Data regarding the blood donors were collected, the positive rates of each test result were recorded, and the HEV infection status among different populations was analyzed.Results:The positive rate of the HEV-IgG antibody test was 23.60% (1 237/5 241), while the positive rate of the HEV-IgM antibody test was 0.29% (15/5 241). The positive rate of the HEV RNA test was 0.08% (4/5 241). The positive rate of the HEV-IgG test increased with age ( χ2 = 379.493, P < 0.05), and males had a higher positive rate than females ( χ2 = 5.12, P < 0.05). Both the positive rates of HEV-IgG and HEV-IgM tests increased as the number of blood donations increased ( χ2 = 40.87, 8.30, both P < 0.05). Furthermore, the positive rates were significantly higher in 2023 than in 2022 ( χ2 = 51.03, 13.35, both P < 0.05), and they were also significantly higher in spring than in winter ( χ2 = 51.03, 13.35, both P < 0.05). Only one HEV RNA-positive blood donor tested positive for both HEV-IgG and HEV-IgM antibodies, while the remaining three donors tested negative. Only one case was genotyped, and it belonged to genotype Ⅳ. Conclusion:The incidence of HEV infection among unpaid blood donors in Wenzhou of Zhejiang Province is relatively high, with the prevalent HEV genotype being type Ⅳ. Characteristics such as sex, age, and the number of blood donations can be utilized as auxiliary screening reference indicators.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Buyang Huanwutang in regulating macrophage polarization based on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) / nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) / nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) pathway. MethodRAW264.7 macrophages were intervened with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of different concentrations (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg·L-1) for 24 hours. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to determine the cell viability of RAW264.7 macrophages. The optimal concentration was chosen to establish an in vitro inflammation model induced by LPS. Cells were divided into a blank group (20% blank serum), a model group (20% blank serum + 10 mg·L-1 LPS), a model control group (20% FBS + 10 mg·L-1 LPS), low-, medium-, and high-dose (5%, 10%, and 20%) Buyang Huanwutang-containing serum groups, a high-dose (20%) Buyang Huanwutang combined with NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 (50 μmol·L-1) group, a high-dose (20%) Buyang Huanwutang combined with reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor NAC (10 μmol·L-1) group, and a high-dose (20%) Buyang Huanwutang combined with NF-κB inhibitor PDTC (10 μmol·L-1) group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in RAW264.7 macrophages. Flow cytometry was employed to measure ROS levels in macrophages. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of M1-type macrophage-related factors inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and TNF-α, M2-type macrophage-related factors arginase-1 (Arg-1) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), as well as the proteins in the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. ResultCCK-8 results indicated that under 10 mg·L-1 LPS stimulation, RAW264.7 macrophages exhibited the highest cell viability (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed significantly increased levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α (P<0.05,P<0.01), increased ROS expression (P<0.05,P<0.01), increased protein expression of M1-type macrophage factors iNOS and TNF-α (P<0.01), decreased protein expression of M2-type macrophage factors Arg-1 and IL-10 (P<0.05,P<0.01), and upregulated expression levels of TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), phosphorylated inhibitor of NF-κB (p-IκB)/NF-κB inhibitor (IκB), phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) p65/NF-κB p65, NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and pro-Caspase-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all Buyang Huanwutang-treated groups and inhibitor groups significantly reduced levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α (P<0.01), suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors in RAW264.7 macrophages, decreased cellular ROS expression levels (P<0.01), downregulated M1-type macrophages iNOS and TNF-α protein expression (P<0.01), upregulated M2-type macrophages Arg-1 and IL-10 protein expression (P<0.01), and lowered protein expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-IκB/IκB, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, NLRP3, ASC, and pro-Caspase-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionBuyang Huanwutang can improve macrophage inflammation, potentially by reducing macrophage ROS levels, inhibiting RAW264.7 macrophage polarization, and downregulating the protein expression levels of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

Chinese Medical Journal 2023;136(23):2839-2846
BACKGROUND:
The presence of fibrosis is a criterion for subtype classification in the newly updated hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) guidelines. The present study aimed to summarize differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis of non-fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (NFHP) and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) and explore factors associated with the presence of fibrosis.
METHODS:
In this prospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with HP through a multidisciplinary discussion were enrolled. Collected data included demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and radiologic and histopathological features. Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore factors related to the presence of fibrosis.
RESULTS:
A total of 202 patients with HP were enrolled, including 87 (43.1%) NFHP patients and 115 (56.9%) FHP patients. Patients with FHP were older and more frequently presented with dyspnea, crackles, and digital clubbing than patients with NFHP. Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 125, carbohydrate antigen 153, gastrin-releasing peptide precursor, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, and antigen cytokeratin 21-1, and count of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) eosinophils were higher in the FHP group than in the NFHP group. BAL lymphocytosis was present in both groups, but less pronounced in the FHP group. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that older age, <20% of lymphocyte in BAL, and ≥1.75% of eosinophil in BAL were risk factors for the development of FHP. Twelve patients developed adverse outcomes, with a median survival time of 12.5 months, all of whom had FHP.
CONCLUSIONS
Older age, <20% of lymphocyte in BAL, and ≥1.75% of eosinophil in BAL were risk factors associated with the development of FHP. Prognosis of patients with NFHP was better than that of patients with FHP. These results may provide insights into the mechanisms of fibrosis in HP.

Trauma registration is an important tool to record the process and timeline in the treatment of trauma patients. The operation of trauma database is of great significance for reducing the mortality of patients, promoting the construction of trauma treatment system, and providing reference for policy-making. Trauma registration system has been established in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and other developed countries for many years. However, the domestic system is still at an initial stage, and there are problems like data deficiencies, data incoherence, no item of complications, no treatment data after discharge and limits of human and financial resources. Therefore, there is room for improvements in terms of personnel fixation, financial support and continuous data monitoring should be further improved. In this study, the authors summarize the traum registration system from aspects of basic situation both at home and abroad, data analysis, clinical value, operation mechanism and challenges so as to provide important data for clinical researches.
