Objective To analyze the serological survey results of Changsha City in 2016 and 2024, and to investigate the short-term impact of adjusting the immunization program with two doses of mumps containing vaccine on the mumps antibody levels of healthy individuals in Changsha City. Methods Using the relevant data and samples from the mumps serological surveys conducted in 2016 and 2024, serum mumps IgG antibodies were quantitatively detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results from these two surveys were analyzed and compared using SPSS 25.0 software. Results The survey included 1 512 participants in 2016 and 1 398 in 2024. In 2024, both the seropositivity rate and IgG antibody levels against mumps in the healthy population were significantly higher than those in 2016 (all P<0.01). Specifically, the seropositivity rates and IgG antibody levels in the age groups of 8–17 months, 18 months–2 years, 3–4 years, and 5–9 years were significantly higher in 2024 compared to 2016 (all P < 0.001). However, among the participants in 2024, the 15–19 years age group showed relatively low seropositivity rate and IgG antibody levels. Conclusion Following the adjustment of the two-dose MuCV immunization strategy, the mumps IgG antibody levels among children aged 8 months to 9 years in Changsha have increased. It is necessary to continue implementing the routine two-dose MuCV vaccination strategy and to explore the necessity of strengthening and supplementing immunization for key groups, including the high-risk 5–9-year-old population and the immunologically vulnerable 15–19-year-old population.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of patient-reported outcomes(PRO)com-bined with hematological indicators for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity in patients with ulcera-tive colitis(UC).Methods Clinical data of UC patients were retrospectively collected,including PRO,hematological parameters and endoscopic findings.Based on the Mayo endoscopic score,pa-tients were divided into remission and mild activity group(＜2 points)and moderate-to-severe activity group(≥ 2 points).Independent influencing factors for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity were screened through multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and a binary Logistic regression model was constructed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the discriminato-ry ability of the predictive model.The calibration of the model was assessed using calibration curves and the Spiegelhalter Z-test,and the model's performance was further validated in an external valida-tion cohort.Results Rectal bleeding(RB),C-reactive protein/albumin(CAR)and erythrocyte sed-imentation rate(ESR)were independent influencing factors for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the nomogram predictive model constructed based on the logistic regression analysis results was 0.848(95％CI,0.798 to 0.900),with sensitivity of 76.6％and specificity of 79.6％.In the external validation cohort,the model's AUC was 0.778(95％CI,0.699 to 0.857),and there was no statistically significant difference compared with the AUC of the training cohort model(P＞0.05).In both the training and validation cohorts,the Spiegelhalter Z-test results indicated that the model had good goodness-of-fit(P＞0.05).Conclu-sion RB,CAR and ESR are independent influencing factors for moderate-to-severe endoscopic ac-tivity in UC patients.The combination of RB,CAR and ESR has high predictive value for moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity in UC patients,with good discriminatory and calibration abilities.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Wendan Decoction for phlegm syndrome in rats with metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group(n=8)and 3 phlegm syndrome model groups(induced by high-fat,high-sugar,and high-salt feeding and a single-dose intraperitoneal STZ injection;n=24)treated with daily gavage of saline,Wendan Decoction(3.6 g/kg),or metformin(0.1 g/kg)for 4 weeks.General conditions and glucose and lipid metabolism parameters of the rats were monitored,and serum LPS,liver histopathology,hepatic expressions of FXR,CYP7A1 and FGFR4 and ileal expressions of FXR and FGF15 were examined.Gut microbiota structure was analyzed using 16S rDNA sequencing,and serum bile acids were quantified with UHPLC-MS/MS.Results The rat models of phlegm syndrome exhibited severe hepatic steatosis and necrosis,increased body weight,abdominal circumference,Lee's index,FBG,FINS,HOMA-IR,TG,TC,LDL and LPS,and decreased HDL level.The abundance of Bacteroidetes,Megamonas,and Bacteroides in gut microbiota increased while Firmicutes,Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group,isohyodeoxycholic acid,and glycohyodeoxycholic acid decreased significantly;hepatic FXR and FGFR4 expressions and ileal FXR and FGF15 expressions decreased while hepatic CYP7A1 expression increased significantly in the rat models.Treatment with Wendan Decoction effectively alleviated hepatic pathology,reduced body weight and abdominal circumference,improved glucose and lipid metabolic profiles and gut microbiota structure,and reversed the changes in hepatic and ileal protein expressions.Correlation analysis revealed that Firmicutes and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group were positively correlated while Bacteroidetes,Megamonas and Bacteroides were negative correlated with the levels of isohyodeoxycholic acid and hyodeoxycholic acid.Conclusion Wendan Decoction can significantly improve metabolic profiles in rats with phlegm syndrome of MS possibly by regulating the intestinal flora-bile acid axis to modulate the intestinal flora structure and maintain bile acid homeostasis via the FXR signaling pathway.

Hepatic encephalopathy(HE)is a common complication of severe liver disease in the end stage,and it is urgently needed to improve the rate of effective treatment and clarify the pathogenesis of HE.The liver is a crucial hub for immune regulation,and disruption of immune homeostasis is a key factor in the pathological mechanisms of HE.As the main metabolites of intestinal flora,short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)play a vital role in the biological processes of both innate and adaptive immunity and can regulate the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells maintain the homeostasis of intestinal microenvironment and the integrity of barrier function.Studies have shown that SCFAs participate in bidirectional and dynamic interactions with the liver-gut-brain axis through immunomodulatory pathways,thereby playing an important role in the diagnosis,treatment,and prognostic evaluation of HE.Starting from the immunoregulatory effect of SCFAs,this article summarizes and analyzes the crosstalk relationship between SCFAs and the liver-gut-brain axis and the significance of SCFAs in the diagnosis and treatment of HE,in order to provide new ideas for optimizing clinical prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective:To induce an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE)model by MOG-specific TCR trans-genic mice(2D2TCR transgenic mice),and to investigate effect of exogenous ERMAP on T cells in spleen of MOG35-55-induced 2D2TCR transgenic mice.Methods:EAE models were established in two groups of 2D2TCR transgenic mice(Control-Ig treatment for control group and ERMAP-Ig fusion protein treatment for experimental group),with 9 mice per group.Severity of spinal cord injury of MOG35-55-induced EAE in mice was assessed based on daily clinical scores(DAI),HE and LFB staining results;autoreactive T cells(CD4+Vα3.2+Vβ11+),T cell proliferation activation indicators CD69(CD4+Vα3.2+Vβ11+CD69+)and Ki67(CD4+Vα3.2+Vβ11+Ki67+),Treg(CD4+Vα3.2+Vβ11+CD25+Foxp3+)and Th17 cells(CD4+Vα3.2+Vβ11+IL-17A+)in spleen were detected by flow cytome-try;IL-17A,IL-6,IFN-γ and TGF-β expressions in spinal cord tissues were detected by qRT-PCR.Results:In MOG35-55-induced 2D2TCR transgenic mouse EAE model,ERMAP-Ig fusion protein treatment group showed milder inflammatory infiltration and demye-lination in spinal cord,decreased proportion of autoreactive T cells,decreased proportion of activated and proliferating T cells,increased proportion of Treg,inhibition of Th17 cell differentiation,less inflammatory cell aggregation and cytokine production,and increased expression of anti-inflammatory factors in spinal cord.Conclusion:ERMAP may be involved in development of EAE in 2D2TCR transgenic mice by inhibiting T cell proliferative activation and promoting Treg cell production.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective:To investigate and evaluate the correct cognition and influencing factors of mpox expertise among relevant Chinese clinicians and to provide a reference for prevention and control.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among clinicians in relevant departments using a structured questionnaire compiled by ourselves through a non-random network recruitment method. The content includes demography, clinical specialties, and characteristics of medical institutions, and 37 questions to evaluate the professional cognition of mpox etiology, clinical characteristics, transmission, prevention, and control. Using the modified Bloom's cutoff point to determine the correct answer is greater than or equal to 26 entitled correct cognition. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the correct cognition rate.Results:A total of 4 332 clinicians in 23 provinces (autonomous regions, municipality) in China were investigated by online questionnaires and 4 276 effective questionnaires were collected, with an effective rate of 98.71%. The mean age of the respondents was (39.46±9.54) years old, 61.18% were female. The overall correct cognition rate of mpox expertise was 62.04% (95% CI: 60.59%-63.50%), the correct cognition rates of mpox etiology, clinical characteristics, transmission, prevention and control were 48.25% (95% CI: 46.68%-49.82%), 78.66% (95% CI: 77.38%-79.95%), 68.56% (95% CI: 67.10%-70.02%), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the relevant factors affecting the overall correct cognition of mpox expertise among Chinese clinicians included gender (female: OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.31-1.80), region (eastern region: OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.18-1.79; midwestern region: OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.49), professional title (deputy senior: OR=1.43, 95% CI:1.16-1.76; senior: OR=1.72, 95% CI:1.30-2.28), the clinical field (the clinical fields of dermatology and venereal diseases: OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.42-2.23). Conclusions:The overall correct cognition rate of mpox expertise among relevant Chinese clinicians was low. It was essential to conduct mpox knowledge training for clinicians in males, northeast regions, junior professional title and the clinical fields other than dermatology and venereal diseases to improve their correct cognition rates and epidemic prevention and control ability.

Objective:To investigate the level of urinary serine protease(Corin) in early diabetic kidney disease(DKD) and its correlation with clinical stage.Methods:One hundred and seventy-three patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) from two tertiary A hospitals in Henan, diagnosed between April 2023 and December 2023 were selected as the research group, and 120 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. Basic clinical information and laboratory data were collected, and urinary Corin level was detected. DM patients were classified into G1-G5 stages based on estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), and those in the early DKD stages(G1-G3) were further divided into A1-A3 subgroups based on urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(ACR). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess relationships between urinary Corin and other indicators, linear regression analysis identified factors influencing urinary Corin in early DKD patients, logistic regression analysis evaluated the risk factors for early DKD, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis determined the diagnostic value of urinary Corin in early DKD. Results:Urinary Corin levels were significantly higher in early DKD patients compared to healthy controls, with levels increasing as ACR rose( P<0.05). Urinary Corin was positively associated with serum creatinine( r=0.570), urea( r=0.458), cystatin C( r=0.693), ACR( r=0.616), urinary transferrin( r=0.448), urinary α1 microglobulin( r=0.507), urinary n-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminase( r=0.388) and A subgroup( r=0.692) while was negatively correlated with eGFR( r=-0.647), albumin( r=-0.312)(all P<0.05). eGFR was the only independent factor affecting urinary Corin. After adjusting for confounding factors in logistic regression analysis, urinary Corin was still an independent influencing factor for early DKD. ROC curve analysis indicated that urinary Corin had a diagnostic AUC of 0.842(95% CI 0.791-0.892, P<0.001), with a cut-off value of 2 226.04 pg/mL, sensitivity of 0.712, and specificity of 0.858 for early DKD diagnosis. Conclusions:Urinary Corin was elevated in early DKD patients and correlated with clinical stage. Urinary Corin is an independent factor of early DKD, and a reliable predictor of early DKD diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of sulbactam-durlobactam combined with meropenem in treating carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)pulmonary infection.METHODS A total of 16 patients treated at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from Jan.1,2025 to Jun.1,2025 were included.Retrospective analy-sis was conducted on patients'basic situation,preliminary treatment regimens,infection-related diagnoses,etiolo-gy and clinical outcomes.Therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)for sulbactam was also performed.RESULTS By the end of the treatment course,13 patients achieved etiological eradication of CRAB and clinical improvement,while 1 patient experienced CRAB recurrence within one month.Three patients showed treatment failure.TDM for sulbactam was performed in 13 patients.Except for one slightly lower,all achieved trough plasma concentra-tions above the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)(100％T＞MIC,MIC=4 mg/L based on clinical breakpoints).Dosage adjustments based on plasma concentrations were made for 4 patients,with 3 receiving re-duced doses and 1 receiving an increased dose.CONCLUSIONS Sulbactam-durlobactam combined with meropenem demonstrates superior efficacy in treating CRAB compared to other regimens.Under the recommended dosage,all patients can achieve the PK/PD target for sulbactam.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of coping style and fear of disease progression between health literacy and self-management in postoperative chemotherapy patients with colorectal cancer. It provided a theoretical basis for improving the self-management ability of postoperative chemotherapy patients with colorectal cancer.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select postoperative chemotherapy patients with colorectal cancer admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October 2023 to May 2024, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted using Health Literacy Management Scale, Medical Coping Modes Scale, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, and Cancer Patient Self-Management Assessment Scale.Results:A total of 229 questionnaires were distributed, of which 220 were returned as valid questionnaires, including 142 males and 78 females, aged (60.05 ± 10.14) years. The total health literacy score was (85.30 ± 9.45) points and self-management score was (150.36 ± 14.10) points among patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Self-management was positively correlated with health literacy and facing ( r=0.576, 0.525, both P<0.01), while negatively correlated with avoidance, yielding, and fear of disease progression ( r=-0.660, -0.616, -0.566, all P<0.01). The mediation model showed that facing coping style and fear of disease progression had a chained mediation effect of 0.050 between health literacy and self-management, accounting for 8.36% of the total effect. Conclusions:Self-management in patients with postoperative chemotherapy for colorectal cancer was moderately low. The chain mediating role of coping style and fear of disease progression between health literacy and self-management in postoperative chemotherapy patients with colorectal cancer was established. Nursing staff should strengthen health education for postoperative chemotherapy patients with colorectal cancer, guide patients to face the disease positively, reduce fear, and promote patient self-management.
