ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of compound Xishu granules （CXG） in inhibiting the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by regulating ferroptosis. MethodsThe transplanted tumor model of human Huh7 was established with nude mice and the successfully modeled mice were randomized into model， Fufang Banmao （0.21 g·kg^-1）， low-dose （1.87 g·kg^-1） CXG， medium-dose （3.74 g·kg^-1） CXG， and high-dose （7.49 g·kg^-1） CXG groups. Mice were administrated with drinking water or CXG for 28 days， and the body weight and tumor volume were measured every 4 days. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the histopathological changes of tumors. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to examine the survival rate of Huh7 cells treated with different concentrations （0， 31.25， 62.5， 125， 250， 500， 1 000 mg·L^-1） of CXG for 24 h and 48 h. CA-AM， DCFH-DA， and C11-BODIPY^581/591 fluorescent probes were used to determine the intracellular levels of ferrous ion （Fe²⁺）， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， and lipid peroxide （LPO）， respectively. The colorimetric method was employed to measure the levels of glutathione （GSH） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）， respectively. ResultsIn the animal experiment， compared with the model group， the drug treatment groups showed reductions in the tumor volume from day 12 （P<0.01）. After treatment， the Fufang Banmao and low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups had lower tumor volume， relative tumor volume， and tumor weight than the model group （P<0.05）， with tumor inhibition rates of 48.99%， 79.93%， 91.38%， and 97.36%， respectively. Moreover， the CXG groups had lower tumor volume and relative tumor volume （P<0.05 in all the three dose groups） and lower tumor weight （P<0.05 in medium-dose and high-dose groups） than the Fufang Banmao group. Compared with the model group， the drug treatment groups showed reduced number of tumor cells， necrotic foci with karyopyknosis， nuclear fragmentation， and nucleolysis， and the high-dose CXG group showed an increase in the proportion of interstitial fibroblasts. In the cell experiment， compared with the blank group， CXG reduced the survival rate of Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner after incubation for 24 h and 48 h （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， the RSL3 group and the low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups showed a decrease in the relative fluorescence intensity of CA-AM and increases in the fluorescence intensity of DCFH-DA and fluorescence ratio of C11-BODIPY^581/591， which indicated elevations in the levels of Fe²⁺ （P<0.01）， ROS （P<0.05）， and LPO （P<0.01）， respectively. Compared with the blank group， the RSL3 and low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups showed lowered levels of GSH and SOD （P<0.05）. In addition， the RSL3 group and the medium- and high-dose CXG groups showed down-regulated expression of GPX4 and FTH1 （P<0.05）， and the low- and high-dose CXG groups presented up-regulated expression of TFR1 （P<0.05）. ConclusionCXG suppresses the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing ferroptosis via downregulating the GSH-GPX4 signaling axis and increasing intracellular Fe²⁺and LPO levels.

4-hydroxynonenal（4-HNE），an oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation product，is generated through free radical chain reactions of polyunsaturated fatty acid（PUFA）under oxidative stress conditions. Current studies suggest that excessive accumulation of 4-HNE in the body drives the progression of various pulmonary diseases，involving trauma，infection，asthma，autoimmune diseases，etc. It not only serves as a biomarker for assessing the severity of lung diseases，but also provides a theoretical foundation for developing novel therapeutic strategies by modulating aldehyde-metabolizing enzymes or targeting ferroptosis pathways. This review summarizes the biological effects of 4-HNE and its association with pulmonary diseases.Deep exploration of its expression mechanisms in lung pathologies are expected to advance precision diagnosis and treatment for respiratory system disorders.

Objective To explore different construction models and experiences of clinical laboratory centers under exist-ing Integrated county healthservices entity,analyze and discuss the characteristics of various construction models,and provide ref-erences for the development of county-level clinical laboratory centers.Methods Based on the five factors of"man,machine,material,method,and environment"in Total Quality Management theory,an interview outline and questionnaire were designed for county-level clinical laboratory centers.Eleven county-level clinical laboratory centers across the country were investigated to analyze their construction models,investment returns,and other aspects.Literature reviews and case studies were also conducted to summarize the construction models and characteristics of county-level clinical laboratory centers.Results The construction models of county-level clinical laboratory centers are mainly divided into five types,each with distinct features.Through an analy-sis of the investment returns of these models unde rIntegrated county healthservices entity,it was found that a profit distribution ratio of approximately 5∶5 between county-level clinical laboratory centers and township health centers for referred samples is more conducive to maintaining the stability of sample sources.The construction model of county-level clinical laboratory centers is closely related to the medical service capacity of both county and township levels.Conclusion Counties with stronger county hospital capabilities tend to establish relatively independent regional laboratory centers based on the county hospital's laboratory department.Regardless of the model,the primary goal of county-level clinical laboratory centers should be to provide high-quality testing services coverage across the entire county.The key to the success of county-level clinical laboratory centers lies in motiva-ting grassroots personnel.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current situation of pharmaceutical management in compact medical consortium of Guangdong province， and to provide decision-making basis for promoting the high-quality construction and sustainable development of the provincial medical consortium. METHODS A self-designed questionnaire was used to select 50 compact medical consortiums in Guangdong province. The survey was answered by the heads of the pharmacy department of the general hospitals. The survey covered the basic scale of the consortium， the appointment of chief pharmacists， the implementation of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care homogenization within the consortium， the difficulties in promoting the homogenization， and the expected provincial support. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the survey results. RESULTS A total of 50 questionnaires were collected， and the effective recovery rate was 100%. There were 16 chief pharmacists （32.00%） in charge of the pharmacy department of the general hospital in the medical consortium. Thirty-seven medical consortiums （74.00%） had established a drug supply support system within the consortium， 35 medical consortiums （70.00%） had carried out pharmaceutical management and coordination work within the medical consortium， 23 medical consortiums （46.00%） had established a clinical medication guidance system， 25 medical consortiums chenwenying2016@163.com （50.00%） had established a bidirectional communication mechanism， and only 8 medical consortiums （16.00%） had developed new models of pharmaceutical care. At present， the difficulties in promoting the homogenization of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care within the medical consortium were mainly found in three aspects： the wide gap in management level of each member unit， the lack and uneven level of pharmaceutical personnel， and insufficient policy support and implementation. Most medical consortiums hoped that relevant departments could promote the homogenization of pharmaceutical work by holding special training courses or special supervision. CONCLUSIONS At present， the compact medical consortium in Guangdong province has achieved initial results in the implementation of the chief pharmacist system， the homogenization of pharmaceutical management and pharmaceutical care. However， it is still necessary to improve the coverage of chief pharmacist appointments in the medical consortium， implement the homogenization of pharmaceutical management， and accelerate the homogenization process of pharmaceutical care.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and pregnancy outcomes of fetal micrognathia.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled 52 cases of fetal micrognathia diagnosed at Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University and Affiliated Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital of Nantong University from January 2014 to December 2022. Clinical features, genetic testing results, and pregnancy outcomes of the cases were summarized. These cases were divided into two groups based on whether they were complicated by other system anomalies: non-isolated micrognathia (49 cases) and isolated micrognathia (three cases). The non-isolated micrognathia cases were further divided into two subgroups: cleft palate group (21 cases) and non-cleft palate group (28 cases). Clinical features were compared between different groups. Statistical analysis was performed using two independent samples t-test, Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test. Results:(1) The non-isolated micrognathia cases were complicated by one to six system anomalies, with the most common being facial anomalies (59.2%, 29/49), followed by circulatory system (51.0%, 25/49), musculoskeletal system (44.9%, 22/49), nervous system (34.7%, 17/49), digestive system (12.2%, 6/49), and urinary system anomalies (8.2%, 4/49). (2) Among 52 cases, nine non-isolated micrognathia cases received genetic testing, and the results indicated six with genetic abnormalities. (3) Forty-seven cases chose to terminate the pregnancies, while the other five cases continued the pregnancies (all fetuses were non-isolated micrognathia) and resulted in live births. Treatment was withdrawn in one live birth due to multiple anomalies, and the other four neonates required mechanical ventilation (two died after withdrawal of treatment; two underwent surgeries after birth and the prognosis of them was good during a one-year outpatient follow-up). (4) The proportion of women with polyhydramnios [28.6% (6/21) vs. 3.6% (1/28), Fisher's exact test, P=0.033] and the proportion of fetuses with confirmed Pierre Robin sequence [85.7% (18/21) vs. 7.1% (2/28), Fisher's exact test, P<0.001] were higher in the cleft palate group than those in the non-cleft palate group. Conclusions:Fetal micrognathia cases revealed by prenatal ultrasound should undergo a comprehensive screening for other system anomalies, especially cleft palate. Fetuses with micrognathia and multiple system anomalies often have a poor prognosis. Besides, it is recommended to take genetic testing. For fetuses with micrognathia, preparations for neonatal resuscitation at birth are essential to avoid adverse outcomes due to breathing difficulties.

Objective: To perform an epidemiological survey of the first case with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in Pinghu City of Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province on March 13, 2022, so as to provide insights into the management of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemics. Methods: According to the requirements of the Protocol on Prevention and Control of COVID-19 (8th Edition), epidemiological investigations were performed among 39 cases with SARS-CoV-2 infections in Pinghu City from March 13 to 20, 2022. Cases' demographics, clinical symptoms, history of immunization and exposure were collected, and close contacts were identified. Pharyngeal swabs were sampled from infected cases for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid and whole-genome sequencing, and the source of infection and transmission route were investigated. Results: The index case for this COVID-19 epidemic was an imported case from Shanghai Municipality, who infected 6 persons via aerosol transmission when playing in the badminton venue of Pinghu National Fitness Center on March 9; subsequently, one of these infected cases infected another 18 persons when playing in the badminton venue of Jiadian Village Resident's Fitness Center in Zhapu Township on March 12. Sixteen confirmed cases were reported, and all cases were mild; another 23 asymptomatic cases were diagnosed, with no death reported. This epidemic occurred from March 11 to 20, with 3 generations of spread and a median incubation period of 3 days. The SARS-CoV-2 infected cases had a median age of 33.5 (interquartile range, 12.0) years and included 36 cases with a history of COVID-19 vaccination. There were 16 cases with fever, cough, runny nose and sore throat, and 13 cases with imaging features of pneumonia. The effective reproductive number (Rt) of the COVID-19 epidemic was 7.73 at early stage, and was less than 1 since March 21. Whole-genome sequencing identified Omicron BA.2 variant among 33 cases, which had high homology with the index cases. Conclusion This epidemic was a cluster of COVID-19 caused by imported Omicron BA.2 variant infection from Shanghai Municipality, and the COVID-19 transmission was mainly caused by indoor aerosols.

Objective:To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition on hematological complications in children with malignant solid tumors during chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 103 children with malignant solid tumor admitted to our hospital from March 2020 to December 2020 were enrolled in the study. The children were randomly divided into enteral nutrition group ( n=51) and control group ( n=52). Children in enteral nutrition group were given enteral nutrition support on the basis of routine diet, while children in control group were only given routine diet. The levels of leukocytes, neutrophils, hemoglobin and platelets in peripheral blood of children during chemotherapy were analyzed. The incidence of infection and the transfusion of red blood cells and platelets after chemotherapy were documented and compared between two groups. Results:The levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, hemoglobin and platelets before chemotherapy were significantly higher than those after chemotherapy both in enteral nutrition group ( Z=-5.91, -5.59, -5.54, -5.66, all P<0.05) and in control group ( Z=-6.14, -5.84, -5.75, -4.75, all P<0.05). The overall hemoglobin levels in enteral nutrition group before and after chemotherapy was significantly higher than those in control group ( t=5.68, 5.62, P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the levels of white blood cells, neutrophils and platelets between the two groups before chemotherapy ( Z=-0.71, -0.12, -1.29, all P>0.05) and after chemotherapy ( Z=-0.39, -0.86, -0.94, all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the degree of anemia during chemotherapy was significantly improved in enteral nutrition group (χ2=10.45,6.12, all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the reduction degree of white blood cells, neutrophils and platelets between the two groups (before chemotherapy: χ2=1.17, 0.10, 0.49; after chemotherapy: χ2=0.18, 1.10, 0.97, all P>0.05). The number of children receiving red blood cell transfusion in enteral nutrition group was significantly lower than that in control group (χ2=14.06, P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the number of children with infection and platelet transfusion between the two groups (χ2=1.20, 0.29, all P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the duration of neutrophil deficiency between enteral nutrition group and control group ( t=-1.75, P>0.05). Conclusion:Enteral nutrition support can significantly improve the hemoglobin level in children during chemotherapy, effectively alleviate the severity of anemia, and reduce the incidence of red blood cell transfusion after chemotherapy, which has high clinical application value.
