Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a diabetic ocular complication that can lead to poor vision and blindness. This experiment aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect and its mechanism of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) eye drops on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in rats. All experiments were approved by the Animal Research Committee of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Animal welfare and the animal experimental protocols were strictly consistent with related ethics regulations of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No. PZSHUTCM 211115004). Diabetes mellitus was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ into rats. Two months later, PNS solution was dropped binocular twice per day at 6 h intervals at dose of 20, 40, and 80 mg·kg^-1 continuously for 1 month. The morphological structure and activation of microglia of the retina were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical assay. The disruption of the blood-retina barrier (BRB) was conducted by the Evans blue dye leakage assay. The number of acellular capillaries in the retina was assessed by digesting and hematoxylin-eosin staining assay. The number of retinal leukocyte adhesion was observed by fluorescein isothiocyanate-coupled concanavalin A lectin labeling assay. The serum expression of inflammatory factors was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot experiments were used to detect the expression of relevant proteins in retinal tissue and transcriptional activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). The results revealed that PNS eye drops significantly increased the thickness of the retina, decreased the number of acellular capillaries, and up-regulated the expression of the tight junction proteins claudin-1 and occludin, thereby alleviating BRB damage. In addition, PNS eye drops were also able to significantly reduce leukocyte adhesion and microglia activation, the expression of inflammatory factors in serum, and the nuclear translocation of retinal p65 proteins, effectively inhibiting the occurrence of retinal inflammation. The above results showed that PNS eye drops played a role in improving NPDR by inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing inflammation.

Objective To explore the characteristics of blood lipid metabolism indicators and risk factors of prognosis in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A total of 54 children who were diagnosed with SLE and hospitalized in Chengdu Women and Children’ s Central Hospital from January 2013 to August 2022 were selected. Clinical data of all children were collected and blood lipid metabolism indicators and biochemical indicators were detected , and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the prognosis risk factors in children with SLE. Results Among the 47 cases (87.04%) had abnormal blood lipid metabolism at admission, and is mainly manifested as elevated levels of LDL-C, TG and TC and decreased level of HDL-C. The proportion of cardiovascular system damage, hematological system damage, urinary protein positivity, and SLEDAI-2000 score in the group with good prognosis were lower than those in the group with poor prognosis, while the proportion of dsDNA positivity was higher in the group with poor prognosis. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein were risk factors for poor prognosis, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Abnormal blood lipid metabolism is common in children with SLE, and cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein may increase the risk of poor prognosis in young children.

Objective To analyze the expression of serum microRNA(miR)-145 and miR-195 in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)and their relationship with cervical lymph node metastasis.Methods A total of 102 patients diagnosed with OSCC in the hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were selected as OSCC group.Clinicopathological parameters of OSCC patients were collected and sorted.According to whether cervical lymph node metastasis occurred,the patients were divided into a cervical lymph node me-tastasis group(43 cases)and a non-cervical lymph node metastasis group(59 cases).In the same period,79 patients with precancerous lesion were selected as the precancerous lesion group,and 86 healthy subjects with-out oral disease were selected as the healthy control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195.The evaluation value of relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in cervical lymph node metastasis in OSCC patients was examined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results The relative expression lev-els of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in OSCC group were lower than those in precancerous lesion group and healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in precancerous lesion group were lower than those in healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in OSCC patients with low tumor differentiation and TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ were lower than those in OSCC patients with medium/high tumor differentiation and TNM stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in cervical lymph node metastasis group were lower than those in non-cervical lymph node metastasis group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 were 0.840(95％CI:0.765-0.915),0.832(95％CI:0.754-0.910)and 0.898(95％CI:0.754-0.910)of cervical lymph node metastasis in OSCC patients respectively.The specificity was 79.1％,88.4％and 77.5％,and the sensitivity was 74.6％,67.8％and 87.4％,respectively.Conclusion Serum miR-145 and miR-195 are low expressed in OSCC patients,and are related to cervical lymph node metastasis,tumor differentiation,and TNM stage in OSCC patients,which can be used as an important indicator to evaluate cervical lymph node metastasis in OS-CC patients.

Objective To investigate the implementation of surveillance,prevention and control measures for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in maternal and child healthcare(MCH)institutions,and provide policy evi-dence for optimizing HAI prevention and control in MCH institutions.Methods Stratified sampling was conducted among the MCH institutions at provincial,municipal and county levels in 8 provinces/autonomous regions.A uni-fied questionnaire was designed and the online survey was conducted through"Questionnaire Star".Results The data from 123 MCH institutions were included in the analysis.90.24％of the MCH institutions carried out compre-hensive surveillance on HAI.The ratios of MCH institutions which implemented targeted surveillance on HAI in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),surgical site infection,multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)and HAI in intensive care units(non-NICU excluded)were 89.66％,85.96％,80.77％,and 74.19％,respectively.51.22％MCH institutions adopted information surveillance system on HAI cases.94.31％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on hand hygiene compliance.Over 90％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on environment hy-giene in high-risk departments.71.54％MCH institutions conducted centralized cleaning,disinfection,sterilization and supply for reusable medical instruments in the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Over 90％MCH insti-tutions established three-level pre-examination triage systems.86.18％set up transitional wards.MCH institutions generally adopted a management model with established effective communication,full appointment visits,and sepa-rate visits for special medical groups,such as registered pregnant women,high-risk newborns,healthcare groups,and long-term rehabilitation patients.However,the ratio of institutions conducting on-line follow-up visits was less than 50％.Conclusion MCH institutions have generally carried out comprehensive and targeted surveillance on HAI.Information surveillance need to be facilitated.Hand hygiene and environmental hygiene surveillance has been popularized to a certain extent at all levels of MCH institutions.The cleaning,disinfection,sterilization,and supply processes of reusable medical devices in a few MCH institutions are not standardized.Special medical populations get effective management.On-line healthcare is to be further promoted.

Abnormal origin of coronary artery is a rare clinical manifestation in cardiovascular disease,among which the abnormal origin of left circumflex artery accounts for 0.022％-0.024％of all coronary angiography patients.Cases of abnormal origin of the left circumflex artery combined with acute occlusion are even rarer.Timely and effective strategies and methods for finding abnormal openings during surgery are crucial for completing interventional treatment.This case reports a rare left circumflex artery anomaly originating from the absence of coronary sinus and acute occlusion of the left circumflex artery leading to myocardial infarction during coronary intervention treatment.The patient experienced sudden chest pain and was admitted to the hospital.The electrocardiogram showed elevated ST segments in the lower and posterior walls.The acute coronary angiography showed only the left main trunk,left anterior descending branch,and right coronary artery(thrombolysis in myocardial infarction blood flow grade Ⅲ),but no left circumflex branch No left circumflex branch was found in the left and right coronary sinuses.Non selective angiography was performed at the root of the ascending aorta,and an abnormal opening of the left circumflex branch was finally discovered in the non coronal sinus.This case discusses common sites of abnormal origin of the left circumflex branch,strategies,methods,and interventional treatments for finding abnormal openings.

Objective:To investigate the value of a novel technique called visual transient elastography (ViTE) and liver steatosis analysis (LiSA) in assessing liver function injury in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-related HCC) patients after ablation therapy.Methods:A total of 129 HBV-related HCC patients in Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2022 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.ViTE and LiSA examinations were applied to record the liver stiffness E value and LiSA value before ablation. An albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score was constructed using laboratory indicators. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between E value, LiSA value and ALBI score, body mass index (BMI). According to the change of ALBI grade in perioperative period, the patients could be divided into two groups: liver function unchanged group and liver function injury group. Univariate and multivariate statistical methods were used to analyze related factors affecting changes in liver function after ablation, followed by establishing a predictive model.Results:Spearman analysis showed a strong positive correlation between E value and ALBI score ( rs=0.686, P<0.001), and LiSA value was weakly positively correlated with BMI ( rs=0.338, P<0.001). There were no significant correlations between E value and BMI, LiSA value and ALBI score (all P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that differences of age, BMI, ablation parameters, E value, and LiSA value in the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that E value, LiSA value, and ablation time were independent predictors of hepatic dysfunction after ablation (all P<0.05). AUC was 0.892 indicating high accuracy in the predictive model based on above indicators. Conclusions:Under the real-time ultrasound guidance, a non-invasive liver function injury prediction model based on ViTE and LiSA technology can offer personalized predictions for ablative perioperative changes in liver function among HBV-related HCC patients.

Aim To explore the effect of kaempferol-7- 0-neohesperidoside (K70N) against prostate cancer (PCa) and the underlying mechanism. Methods The effect of K70N on the proliferation of PCa cell lines PC3, DU145, C4-2 and LNCaP was detected using CCK8 assay. The effect of K70N on migration ability of DU145 cells was determined by wound healing assay. The targets of K70N and PCa were screened from SuperPred and other databases. The common targets both related to K70N and PCa were obtained from the Venny online platform, a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed by the String and Cyto- scape. Meanwhile, the GO and KEGG functional enrichment were analyzed by David database. Then, a "drug-target-disease-pathway" network model was constructed. Cell cycle of PCa cells treated with K70N was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of cycle-associated proteins including Skp2, p27 and p21 protein were detected by Western blot. Molecular docking between Skp2 and K70N was conducted by Sybyl X2. 0. Results K70N significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of PCa cells. A total number of 34 drug-disease intersection targets were screened. The String results showed that Skp2 and p27, among the common targets, were the key targets of K70N for PCa treatment. Furthermore, GO and KEGG functional en-richment indicated that the mechanism was mainly related to the cell cycle. Flow cytometry showed that K70N treatment induced cell cycle arrest at the S phase. Compared with the control group, the protein expression level of Skp2 was significantly down-regulated, while the protein expression levels of p27 and p21 were up-regulated. The network molecular docking indicated that the ligand K70N had a good binding ability with the receptor Skp2. Conclusions K70N could inhibit the proliferation and migration of PCa cells, block the cell cycle in the S phase, which may be related to the regulation of cell cycle through the Skp2- p27/p21 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the changes of the distribution and drug resistance profile of bacteria from ICU children with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province from 2017 to 2022.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2022, a cross-sectional observational study on the bacterial spectrum analysis among intensive care unit (ICU) children with LRTI was conducted in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University. The bacteria was cultivated by culture methods from sputum samples, and identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Drug sensitivity tests were performed by the VITEK2 Compact fully automated analysis system and the paper slide method. The χ2 test or Fisher′s exact probability was used to analyze the changes of the distribution of sputum culture-positive bacteria and drug resistance in ICU children. Results:The overall detection rate of sputum culture was 42.06% (1 182/2 810). Staphylococcus aureus (25.63%,303/1 182), Acinetobacter baumannii (13.62%,161/1 182) and Haemaphilus influenzae (13.28%,157/1 182) were the top three. Proportions of Acinetobacter baumannii (17.90% vs. 11.02%, χ2=11.17, P=0.001), especially carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (43.70% vs. 23.50%, χ2=15.21, P<0.001) increased significantly from 2020 to 2022. However, the proportions of Haemophilus influenzae (8.50% vs. 16.19%, χ2=14.27, P<0.001), Streptococcus pneumoniae (8.50% vs. 15.92%, χ2=13.42, P<0.001) and extended-spectrum-lactamase producing Escherichia coli (8.89% vs. 18.00%, χ2=5.45, P=0.025) decreased. Drug resistant results showed that Acinetobacter baumannii was obviously more resistant to imipenem ( χ2=4.43, P=0.035) and levofloxacin ( χ2=12.53, P<0.001), while more sensitive to minocycline ( χ2=8.34, P=0.004). Escherichia coli showed a significant increase in resistance to piperacillin tazobactam ( χ2=8.29, P=0.008) and cefoperazone sulbactam ( χ2=5.07, P=0.024) from 2020 to 2022; Klebsiella pneumoniae consistently maintained a resistance rate of more than 60% to first and second-generation cephalosporins, and remain susceptible to quinolones and carbapenems. Staphylococcus aureus remained highly susceptible to levofloxacin (drug resistance rate: 2.31%,7/303) and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (drug resistance rate: 4.95%,15/303) from 2020 to 2022. Conclusion:Higher detection and resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii from sputum culture in ICU children from 2020 to 2022 were explored. Resistance of Escherichia coli to β-lactamase inhibitor combinations was more serious. Regular monitoring the changes of the etiology of respiratory tract infections in ICU Children is particularly important for the prevention and treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
