ObjectiveTo evaluate some properties of scutellarin-phospholipid complex nanoemulsion(SCU-PC-NE), such as release, cell uptake and tissue distribution, and to investigate its effect on ameliorating lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced vascular endothelial injury. MethodSCU-PC-NE was prepared by weighting SCU-PC, ethyl oleate, Kolliphor HS15, 1,2-propylene glycol(50, 400, 514.3, 85.7 mg), respectively. And the appearance of SCU-PC-NE was observed by transmission electron microscope, the average paticle size and Zeta potential were measured by nanopotential particle size analyzer. The cumulative release of SCU-PC-NE in vitro was measured by dynamic dialysis, thiazolyl blue(MTT) colorimetric assay was used to investigate the effect of SCU-PC-NE on the viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs), the inverted fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were used to investigate cell uptake of HUVECs by SCU-PC-NE in vitro using coumarin 6 as a fluorescent probe, the tissue distribution of DiR/SCU-PC-NE labeled by near infrared fluorescent dyes was obeserved by small animal in vivo imaging system. The inflammation injury model was established by co-incubation with LPS(1 mg·L-1) and HUVECs, the effect of SCU-PC-NE on the levels of interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-6 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), 18 Kunming male mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, blank preparation group(equivalent to high dose group), SCU group and SCU-PC-NE low and high dose groups(5, 10 mg·kg-1), 3 mice in each group, and the drug administration groups were administered once in the tail vein at the corresponding dose every 48 h, equal volume of normal saline was given to the blank group and the model group, and the drug was administered for 4 consecutive times. Except for the blank group, the endothelial inflammatory injury was induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS(10 mg·kg-1) at 12 h before the last administration in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to investigate the effect of SCU-PC-NE on the histopathological changes in the thoracic aorta of mice. ResultThe appearance of SCU-PC-NE displayed pale yellow milky light, mostly spherical with rounded appearance and relatively uniform particle size distribution, with the average particle size of 35.31 nm, Zeta potential of 7.23 mV, and the encapsulation efficiency of 75.24%. The cumulative release in vitro showed that SCU-PC-NE exhibited sustained release properties compared with SCU. The cell viability of SCU-PC-NE was >90% at a concentration range of 1.05-8.4 mg·L-1. The results of cellular uptake experiments showed that the cellular uptake ability of SCU-PC-NE was significantly enhanced when compared with the SCU group(P<0.01). Compared with normal mice, the results of tissue distribution showed that the fluorescence intensity of DiR/SCU-PC-NE was significantly enhanced in the spleen, kidney, brain and thoracic aorta of mice at different time points after intraperitoneal injection of LPS(P<0.05, P<0.01), especially in thoracic aorta. ELISA results showed that the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in the model group were significantly increased when compared with the blank group(P<0.05, P<0.01), and compare with the model group, all administration groups significantly down-regulated IL-1β level, with the strongest effect in the SCU-PC-NE high-dose group(P<0.01), and all administration groups significantly down-regulated IL-6 level, with the strongest effect in the SCU-PC-NE low-dose group(P<0.05). Compare with the blank group, the results of HE staining showed that the endothelial cells were damaged, the elastic fibers were broken and arranged loosely in the model group, although similar vascular injury could be observed in the blank preparation group, SCU group and SCU-PC-NE low-dose group, the vascular endothelial damage was significantly reduced in the high-dose group of SCU-PC-NE, which had a better effect than that in the SCU group. ConclusionSCU-PC-NE can promote the uptake of drugs by endothelial cells and effectively enriched in the site of vascular endothelial injury caused by LPS, suggesting that it has a protective effect on vascular endothelial injury and is a good carrier of SCU.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of co-infection of HIV and HBV and death in HIV/AIDS cases who newly received antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2005-2020 in Jiangsu Province.Methods:According to the baseline and follow-up data of HIV/AIDS cases on ART enrolled between January 2005 and December 2020, the last follow-up clinical visit was up until December 31, 2022, the national information system was retrospectively collected for HIV/AIDS cases from Chinese System Disease for Control and Prevention. Excel database was established, and statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 16.0 software. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curves, the log rank test was used to compare the survival curves, and Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to assess the mortality and potential risk factors.Results:There were 33 322 HIV/AIDS cases that newly received ART during 2005-2020.The rate of HBsAg test was 57.3%(19 098/33 322). Among HIV/AIDS cases tested HBsAg, the ratio of male to female was 7.1∶1 (16 745∶2 353), the average age was (39.4±14.0) years old, 49.5% (9 446/19 098) of the HIV/AIDS cases were married, 57.8% (11 048/19 098) were infected with HIV through homosexual contact and 36.6% (6 990/19 098) were through heterosexual contact. The M ( Q1, Q3) of CD4 +T lymphocytes (CD4) counts at ART initiation was 297 (166, 445) cells/μl. A total of 8.2% (1 566/19 098, 95% CI:7.8%-8.6%) were HBsAg positive. There were 1 062 HIV/AIDS died by December 31, 2022. The log rank test showed that there were differences in survival curves between HIV/AIDS co-infected with HBV or not ( χ2=28.07, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis of the Cox proportional risk regression model showed that enrollment year, age, marital status, route of HIV infection, baseline CD4 counts before ART, and co-HBV infection were the influencing factors for HIV/AIDS death (all P<0.05), compared with those enrolled in 2015 and before, age ≥45 years, and those who were unmarried. Those enrolled in treatment from 2016 to 2020, those younger than 45 years, and married/cohabitation had a lower risk of death. Compared with baseline CD4 counts ≥201 cells/μl, other routes of infection, and HIV infection alone, baseline CD4 counts ≤200 cells/μl, injecting drug use, and co-HBV infection were associated with a higher risk of death. Conclusion:Effective treatment for coinfection with HBV and HBV vaccination for HBV-negative people with HIV should be integrated into HIV treatment programs to reduce HIV-related mortality in Jiangsu Province, 2005-2020.

Objective:To study a deep learning-based dual-modality fundus camera which was used to study retinal blood oxygen saturation and vascular morphology changes in eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods:A prospective study. From May to October 2020, 31 patients (31 eyes) of BRVO (BRVO group) and 20 healthy volunteers (20 eyes) with matched gender and age (control group) were included in the study. Among 31 patients (31 eyes) in BRVO group, 20 patients (20 eyes) received one intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs before, and 11 patients (11 eyes) did not receive any treatment. They were divided into treatment group and untreated group accordingly. Retinal images were collected with a dual-modality fundus camera; arterial and vein segments were segmented in the macular region of interest (MROI) using deep learning; the optical density ratio was used to calculate retinal blood oxygen saturation (SO 2) on the affected and non-involved sides of the eyes in the control group and patients in the BRVO group, and calculated the diameter, curvature, fractal dimension and density of arteriovenous in MROI. Quantitative data were compared between groups using one-way analysis of variance. Results:There was a statistically significant difference in arterial SO 2 (SO 2 -A) in the MROI between the affected eyes, the fellow eyes in the BRVO group and the control group ( F=4.925, P<0.001), but there was no difference in the venous SO 2 (SO 2-V) ( F=0.607, P=0.178). Compared with the control group, the SO 2-A in the MROI of the affected side and the non-involved side of the untreated group was increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=4.925, P=0.012); there was no significant difference in SO 2-V ( F=0.607, P=0.550). There was no significant difference in SO 2-A and SO 2-V in the MROI between the affected side, the non-involved side in the treatment group and the control group ( F=0.159, 1.701; P=0.854, 0.197). There was no significant difference in SO 2-A and SO 2-V in MROI between the affected side of the treatment group, the untreated group and the control group ( F=2.553, 0.265; P=0.088, 0.546). The ophthalmic artery diameter, arterial curvature, arterial fractal dimension, vein fractal dimension, arterial density, and vein density were compared in the untreated group, the treatment group, and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=3.527, 3.322, 7.251, 26.128, 4.782, 5.612; P=0.047, 0.044, 0.002, <0.001, 0.013, 0.006); there was no significant difference in vein diameter and vein curvature ( F=2.132, 1.199; P=0.143, 0.321). Conclusion:Arterial SO 2 in BRVO patients is higher than that in healthy eyes, it decreases after anti-anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs treatment, SO 2-V is unchanged.

AIM: To analyze the effect of influential factors on the estimation of pharmacokinetic parameters of teicoplanin, this study was proposed to develop the population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model of teicoplanin in patients with renal insufficiency. METHODS: A total of 66 routine blood teicoplanin concentration monitoring data were collected from 46 cases with renal insufficiency, and a nonlinear mixed effect modeling program was used to establish one-compartment model with Monolix 2021R1 software. Furthermore, 20 routine blood teicoplanin concentration monitoring data were also collected from the other 20 cases with renal insufficiency, and the external validation of the model was performed by goodness-of-fit parameter method. RESULTS: The one compartment model was an appropriate model for simulating the pharmacokinetics of teicoplanin in patients with renal insufficiency. The typical values of apparent volume of distribution and clearance rate were 148.9 L and 0.13 L/h, respectively. Glomerular filtration rate and body weight, instead of other factors, were the primary variables that affected the elimination of teicoplanin in vivo. CONCLUSION: The population pharmacokinetic model of teicoplanin established in the present study was effective and stable, which could also predict the dynamic change of teicoplanin concentration. As a result, the population pharmacokinetic model could provide references for the rational use of teicoplanin in special populations.

Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2022;28(12):1580-1584
Objective:To explore the effect of general clinical training on core competence, ICU knowledge and skills of ICU nurses.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 32 nurses from various specialties who worked in ICU of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from February to March 2020 were selected for ICU general clinical practice training. The core competencies of ICU nurses were evaluated by the ICU nurse professional core competencies questionnaire before and 1 month after the training, including the ability to master and apply ICU setting and management, the ability to master and apply critically ill patient care, the ability to master and apply specialized technical skills, and the ability to educate and train. ICU theoretical knowledge and operation skills were assessed by using self-made theoretical knowledge examination papers and operation assessment standards. Paired t test and paired χ 2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After the general clinical training, the proportion of 32 nurses who scored good in 16 items in the evaluation of core competence was higher than before (χ 2= 4.571-6.583) . Among the four dimensions of core competence, the score of master and apply ICU setting and management was higher than that before training ( t=-2.442) . The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After training, theoretical knowledge score of nurses ( t=-9.500) and operational skills score ( t=-2.590) were improved, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The general clinical training can improve ICU nurses' ability to master and apply ICU setting and management and their knowledge and skills of general intensive care, so as to provide a certain basis for the reserve of general ICU nursing team for future public health emergencies.

Traumatic rib fractures are the most common injury in thoracic trauma. Previously,the patients with traumatic rib fractures were mostly treated non-surgically,of which 50%,especially those combined with flail chest presented chronic pain or chest wall deformities and over 30% had long-term disabilities,being unable to retain a full-time job. In the past two decades,thanks to the development of internal fixation material technology,the surgical treatment of rib fractures has achieved good outcomes. However,there are still some problems in clinical treatment,including inconsistency in surgical treatment and quality control in medical services. The current consensuses on the management of regional traumatic rib fractures published at home and abroad mainly focus on the guidance of the overall treatment decisions and plans,and relevant clinical guidelines abroad lacks progress in surgical treatment of rib fractures in recent years. Therefore,the Chinese Society of Traumatology affiliated to Chinese Medical Association and Chinese College of Trauma Surgeons affiliated to Chinese Medical Doctor Association,in conjunction with national multidisciplinary experts,formulate the Chinese Consensus for Surgical Treatment of Traumatic Rib Fractures(2021)following the principle of evidence-based medicine,scientific nature and practicality. This expert consensus puts forward some clear,applicable,and graded recommendations from aspects of preoperative imaging evaluation,surgical indications,timing of surgery,surgical methods,rib fracture sites for surgical fixation,internal fixation methods and material selections,treatment of combined injuries in rib fractures,in order to provide references for surgical treatment of traumatic rib fractures.

Objective:To analyze the HIV and HBV coinfection in HIV/AIDS cases who newly received highly active antiretroviral therapy during 2005-2019 in Jiangsu province.Methods:According to the base data of HIV/AIDS cases on HAART enrolled between January 2005 and December 2019; the National Information system was retrospectively collected for HIV/AIDS Control and Prevention of Chinese System Disease for Control and Prevention. Excel database was established, and statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 16.0 software. A Chi-square test was used to assess differences in rates of HBsAg testing and HIV/HBV coinfection between potential risk factors. The unconditional logistic regression model entered risk factors with P values <0.05 in the Chi-square test. Results:There were 29 288 HIV/AIDS cases newly received HAART during 2005-2019. The rate of HBsAg test was 49.8% (14 594/29 288) the rate of HBsAg test increased from 0.0% (0/80)to 75.2%(3 448/4 586), showing an increasing trend year by year during 2005 to 2019. Among HIV/AIDS cases tested HBsAg, 81.6% (11 915/14 594) cases were from Jiangsu province; the ratio of male to female was 7.34∶1 (12 845∶1 749), the average age was (38.5±13.8) years old, 96.1% (14 023/14 594) were Han nationality,48.9% (7 131/14 594) of the HIV/AIDS cases married, 97.9%(14 294/14 594) were infected with HIV through homosexual and heterosexual transmission. Unconditional logistic regression modeling showed that the proportion of HIV/AIDS cases initiated HAART in 2015 or after that, married, not Jiangsu province resident, college education or above, and drug injection infected were more likely to have HBsAg testing. 8.6%(95% CI:8.2%-9.1%) were HBsAg positive. The HIV and HBV coinfection rates were more than 10% before 2016 while showed stability from 6.7% to 8.2% since 2016. Unconditional logistic regression modeling showed that the proportion of HIV/AIDS cases who were male, elder, married, non-Han, primary education or below were more likely to have HBV coinfection. Conclusion:More HBsAg testing should be strengthened when the HIV/AIDS cases initiated HAART in Jiangsu province, 2005-2019.
9.Association between screen time and psychology behaviors of preschool children
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(1):62-65
Objective:
To explore the correlation between screen time, exposure time to different screens and psychology behaviors of preschool children.
Methods:
A total of 2 582 children from kindergartens in urban Xuzhou areas were recruited to perform the physical examination, a cluster sampling method being explored. Parent questionnaires were performed to understand the time of screens and children’s psychology behaviors. Multi-linear regression and Logistic regression models were also used to analyze the correlation between them in preschool children.
Results:
The prevalence of abnormal internalization behavior of preschool children in Xuzhou City was 3.8%, the detection rate of abnormal externalization behavior was 22.4%, and the detection rate of prosocial behavior abnormality was 20.9%. The time spent by the preschool boys on TV time, learning day screen time and one-week video time is significantly higher than the girls (P<0.05). After adjusting for age and gender, the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the longer the average screen time, the more serious the problem of internalizing and externalizing problems; and the longer the average screen time of the weekend and the week, the worse the prosocial behavior of children (P<0.05). After correcting multiple covariates, it was found that the average screen time was positively correlated with children’s internal and external behavioral problems (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age and gender, the average screen time of study day, weekend and week was a risk factor for preschool children’s internal and external behavior problems, and the average weekly screen time was a protective factor for prosocial behavior (P<0.05). After adjusting for multiple covariates, the learning day and the average weekly screen time were risk factors for children’s internal and external behavior (P<0.05). In addition, the results of association analysis between different types of video time exposure and psychological behavior showed that after adjusting for age and gender, all types of video exposures affected the internal and external behaviors of patients (P<0.05); after correcting multiple covariates The association was still statistically significant (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age and gender, the exposure time of each type of video screen was a risk factor for children’s internal and external behavior problems (P<0.05). After correcting multiple covariates, all types of video exposure were internalized behavior problems. The risk factors, and the video time of other electronic products were risk factors for externalization behavior problems (P<0.05).
Conclusion
Average screen time has a significant positive correlation with psychological behavior, and the exposure time of screens such as TV and mobile phone could increase the incidence of psychological behaviors in preschool children.
