Objective To investigate the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in passenger drivers and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 951 passenger drivers in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. A Musculoskeletal Injury Questionnaire was employed to assess the prevalence of WMSDs in the past year. Results The prevalence of WMSDs in passenger drivers was 41.11%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that married drivers had a higher risk of WMSDs than single drivers (P<0.05). The lower the frequency of physical exercise, the longer the driving time per week, the longer the continuous driving time, the more restricted the driving working space, the poorer the foot comfort during driving, and the more affected the normal meal, the higher the risk of WMSDs (all P<0.05). The risk of WMSDs in drivers with sleep time ≤ 8.0 h/d was higher than that in drivers with sleep time > 8.0 h/d (P<0.01), and the risk of WMSDs in drivers with the same posture for a long time on the shoulder was higher than that in drivers without this poor working posture (P<0.01). Conclusion WMSDs were prevalent among passenger drivers, which was associated with demographic and adverse ergonomic factors. Intervention on lifestyle and adverse ergonomic factors could further reduce the risk of WMSDs of passenger drivers.

Aim To explore the improvement effect of Bazi Bushen capsule on thymic degeneration in SAMP6 mice and the possible mechanism.Methods Twenty 12 week old male SAMP6 mice were randomly divided into the model group(SAMP6)and the Bazi Busheng capsule treatment group(SAMP6+BZBS).Ten SAMR1 mice were assigned to a homologous control group(SAMR1).The SAMP6+BZBS group was oral-ly administered Bazi Bushen capsule suspension(2.8 g·kg-1)daily,while the other two groups were orally administered an equal amount of distilled water.After nine weeks of administration,the morphology of the thymus in each group was observed and the thymus in-dex was calculated;HE staining was used to observe the structural changes of thymus tissue;SA-β-gal stai-ning was used to detect thymic aging;flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of thymic CD3+T cells in each group;Western blot was used to detect the levels of p16,Bax,Bcl-2,and cleaved caspase-3 proteins in thymus;immunofluorescence was applied to detect the proportion of cortical thymic epithelial cells in each group;ELISA was employed to detect IL-7 lev-els in thymus.Results Compared with the SAMP6 group,the thymic index of the SAMP6+BZBS group significantly increased(P＜0.05);the disordered thy-mic structure was significantly improved;the positive proportion of SA-β-gal staining significantly decreased(P＜0.01);the proportion of CD3+T cells apparently increased(P＜0.05);the level of p16 protein signifi-cantly decreased(P＜0.05);the level of Bcl-2 pro-tein significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the lev-el of cleaved caspase-3 protein markedly decreased(P＜0.05);the proportion of cortical thymic epithelial cells evidently increased;the level of IL-7 significantly increased(P＜0.01).Conclusions Bazi Bushen capsule can delay thymic degeneration,inhibit cell ap-optosis in thymus and promote thymic cell development in SAMP6 mice,which may be related to increasing the proportion of cortical thymic epithelial cells and promoting IL-7 secretion.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasound blood quantitative parameters combined with murine sarcoma filtering toxin oncogenic homolog B(BRAF)gene mutation in Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT)with thyroid carcinoma.Methods A total of 86 patients with HT and thyroid nodules in Sir Run Run Hospital,Nanjing Medical University from June 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the research objects.The patients with thyroid cancer were included into the malignant group(n=26),and the patients with benign thyroid nodules were included into the benign group(n=60)according to the pathological examination results.The patients in the malignant group was divided into the metastasis group(n=10)and the non-metastasis group(n=16)according to whether lymph node metastasis occurred.All subjects underwent color Doppler ultrasonography and BRAF gene mutation detection.The pulsatility index(PI),resistance index(RI),peak systolic velocity(S),end diastolic velocity(D),peak systolic velocity to end diastolic velocity ratio(S/D)and BRAF gene mutation between the malignant group and the benign group were compared.The detection rate of blood flow signals by CDFI,the detection rate of blood flow signals of grade 2 to 3 and the mutation of BRAF gene between the metastasis group and the non-metastasis group were compared.The value of the above blood parameters and BRAF gene mutations in the diagnosis of HT complicated with thyroid cancer was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,and the value of the above blood parameters and BRAF gene mutation in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer was evaluated.Results The PI,RI,S,D,S/D and positive rate of BRAF gene mutation in the malignant group were significantly higher than those in the benign group(P<0.05).The detection rate of blood flow signals by CDFI,the detection rate of blood flow signals of grade 2 to 3,and the positive rate of BRAF gene mutation in the metastasis group were significantly higher than those in the non-metastasis group(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of RI,PI,S,D,S/D and BRAF gene mutation in the combined assessment of HT complicated with thyroid cancer was 0.951,with the sensitivity of 88.46%and the specificity of 93.33%,and the efficiency of combined assessment was better than that of the independent assessment of each index.Meanwhile,the AUC of the detection rate of blood flow signals by CDFI,the detection rate of blood flow signals of grade 2 to 3,and BRAF gene mutation in the combined assessment of lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer was 0.938,and the efficiency of combined assessment was better than that of the independent assessment of each index.Conclusion The ultrasound blood quantitative parameters combined with BRAF gene mutation has certain value in the evaluation of HT with thyroid cancer and lymph node metastasis,and the combined evaluation of each index is more effective.

Objective:To establish a mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)-based in vitro cell model for the evaluation of mouse bone marrow acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD).Methods:Female C57BL/6N mice aged 6-8 weeks were used as bone marrow and lymphocyte donors,and female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were used as aGVHD recipients.The recipient mouse received a lethal dose(8.0 Gy,72.76 cGy/min)of total body γ irradiation,and injected with donor mouse derived bone marrow cells(1× 107/mouse)in 6-8 hours post irradiation to establish a bone marrow transplantation(BMT)mouse model(n=20).In addition,the recipient mice received a lethal dose(8.0 Gy,72.76 cGy/min)of total body γ irradiation,and injected with donor mouse derived bone marrow cells(1 × 107/mouse)and spleen lymphocytes(2 × 106/mouse)in 6-8 hours post irradiation to establish a mouse aGVHD model(n=20).On the day 7 after modeling,the recipient mice were anesthetized and the blood was harvested post eyeball enucleation.The serum was collected by centrifugation.Mouse MSCs were isolated and cultured with the addition of 2％,5％,and 10％recipient serum from BMT group or aGVHD group respectively.The colony-forming unit-fibroblast(CFU-F)experiment was performed to evaluate the potential effects of serums on the self-renewal ability of MSC.The expression of CD29 and CD105 of MSC was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining.In addition,the expression of self-renewal-related genes including Oct-4,Sox-2,and Nanog in MSC was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Results:We successfully established an in vitro cell model that could mimic the bone marrow microenvironment damage of the mouse with aGVHD.CFU-F assay showed that,on day 7 after the culture,compared with the BMT group,MSC colony formation ability of aGVHD serum concentrations groups of 2％and 5％was significantly reduced(P＜0.05);after the culture,at day 14,compared with the BMT group,MSC colony formation ability in different aGVHD serum concentration was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).The immunofluorescence staining showed that,compared with the BMT group,the proportion of MSC surface molecules CD29+and CD 105+cells was significantly dereased in the aGVHD serum concentration group(P＜0.05),the most significant difference was at a serum concentration of 10％(P＜0.001,P＜0.01).The results of RT-qPCR detection showed that the expression of the MSC self-renewal-related genes Oct-4,Sox-2,and Nanog was decreased,the most significant difference was observed at an aGVHD serum concentration of 10％(P＜0.01,P＜0.001,P＜0.001).Conclusion:By co-culturing different concentrations of mouse aGVHD serum and mouse MSC,we found that the addition of mouse aGVHD serum at different concentrations impaired the MSC self-renewal ability,which providing a new tool for the field of aGVHD bone marrow microenvironment damage.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units，and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 147，36.3%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=928，29.3%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=369，11.7%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=296，9.4%）and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci（ n=192，6.1%）. The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）were 26.4%（303/1 147）and 66.7%（619/928），respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome，rifampin，compound sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%（2/369），and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions（ χ2=14.578， P=0.002），while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions（ χ2=15.195， P=0.002）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=13.519 and 12.136， P<0.001）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions（per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022）were higher than those in economically less advanced regions（per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=9.969 and 7.606， P=0.002和0.006）. Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China， Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time；the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China，with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

Objective:To investigate the causal correlation between depression and stress urinary incontinence(SUI)using Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods:We searched the FinnGen Consortium database for genome-wide association studies(GWAS)on depression and obtained 23 424 case samples and 192 220 control samples,with the GWAS data on SUI provided by the UK Biobank,including 4 340 case samples and 458 670 control samples.We investigated the correlation between depression and SUI based on the depression data collected from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium(PGC).We employed inverse-variance weighting as the main method for the MR study,and performed sensitivity analysis to verify the accuracy and stability of the findings.Results:Analysis of the data from the UK Biobank and FinnGen Consortium showed that depression was significantly correlated with an increased risk of SUI(P=0.005),but not SUI with the risk of depression(P=0.927).And analysis of the PGC data verified the correlation of depression with the increased risk of SUI(P=0.043).Conclusion:Depression is associated with an increased risk of SUI,while SUI does not increase the risk of depression.

Objective To explore the application effect of volunteer service in the practical teaching of Traditional Chi-nese Pediatrics.Methods In 2023,80 undergraduate interns from the 2021 cohort at Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,who were shadowing in the pediatrics department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Yunnan,were randomly selected as research subjects.They were divided into an experimental group and a control group.The experimental group received teaching through a combination of volunteer service and traditional teaching methods,while the control group was taught using tra-ditional classroom methods.Results The experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in clinical skills assessments,Mini-CEX scores,subject recognition evaluations,and teaching satisfaction,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion The use of volunteer service in the practical teaching of Traditional Chinese Pediatrics is highly feasi-ble and can significantly enhance students'clinical practice abilities,stimulate their enthusiasm for learning,foster independent thinking,and improve their overall clinical competencies.

Objective:To observe the intervention effect of aerobic Baduanjin exercise combined with treadmill train-ing on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)complicated chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:A total of 180 COPD+CHF patients who were treated in Mianyang Central Hospital from January 2019 to June 2021 were selected.They were equally divided into control group(basic treatment and intervention)and experimental group(received aerobic Baduanjin exercise combined with treadmill training based on control group)by random number table method,both groups were intervened for 12 weeks.COPD assessment test(CAT)score,left ventricular ejec-tion fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end systolic volume(LVESV),left ventricular end diastolic volume(LV-EDV),scores of modified medical research council(mMRC)and Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire(MLHFQ)were compared between two groups before,4,8 and 12 weeks after intervention.Results:During 12-week intervention,CAT score,LVESV,LVEDV,scores of mMRC and MLHFQ showed a gradual decreasing trend,while LVEF showed a gradual increasing trend in two groups,P＜0.05 or＜0.01.Compared with control group after 12-week intervention,there were significant reductions in CAT score[(17.47±3.96)points vs.(13.36±3.42)points],LVEDV[(139.44±7.12)ml vs.(131.74±6.47)ml],LVESV[(81.84±8.54)ml vs.(74.29±9.18)ml],scores of mMRC[(1.67±0.47)points vs.(1.42±0.50)points],each dimension and total score of MLHFQ[(40.07±6.86)points vs.(32.54±6.61)points],and significant rise in LVEF[(41.29±4.76)％vs.(44.56±4.42)％]in experimental group(P＜0.001 all).Conclusion:Aerobic Baduanjin exercise combined with treadmill training based on basic treatment can significantly improve cardiopulmonary function,re-lieve dyspnea and improve quality of life in COPD+CHF patients,which is worth promoting.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

ObjectiveBased on the ultrastructure of enteric nervous system （ENS）-platelet-derived growth factor receptor α positive （PDGFRα⁺） cell - smooth muscle cell （SMC） network， the effect and mechanism of Shuwei Decoction （舒胃汤） for rats with functional dyspepsia （FD） of liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome were explored. MethodsFifty SD rats were divided into blank group， model group， low-， medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups randomly， with 10 rats in each group. The blank group was not set up， and the other 4 groups were set up with the modified composite cause （chronic restraint stress + tail irritation + excessive fatigue + diet disorder） for 21 days， resulting in FD model rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome. After successful modelling， rats in the low-， medium- and high-dose groups were given 3.78， 7.56 and 15.12 g/（kg·d） of Shuwei Decoction by gavage， respectively， while rats in the blank group and the model group were given 10 ml/（kg·d） of saline by gavage； all of them were given gavage once a day for 14 days. Body mass increase were collected before and after gavage， and compared after the experiment； the elevated cross maze experiment was conducted to observe the percentage of staying time and the percentage of times entering the open arm of rats； the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were measured by black semi-solid paste； HE staining was used to observe histopathology of the gastric antrum； the Western Blotting and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression levels of PDGFRα， small conductance calcium activated potassium （SK3）， and purinergic G protein-coupled receptor P2Y1 （P2Y1 R）， and mRNA expression in gastric antrum； immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-localization of PDGFRα with receptor tyrosine kinase （C-kit）， protein gene product 9.5 （PGP9.5）， Sk3， and smooth muscle cells （SMCs） in gastric sinusoidal tissues； and transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructure of the ENS-PDGFRα⁺ cell-SMC network. ResultsHE staining results showed that the mucosal folds of gastric tissue were clear in all groups， no organic lesions such as bleeding， ulceration and swelling were observed， and the arrangement of gastric glands in the lamina propria of gastric sinusoidal tissues in model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group was disordered. The arrangement of gastric glands in lamina propria in medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups was more orderly， and the lesion degree was less than that in model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group. Compared with the blank group， the growth value of body mass， the percentage of open arm retention time， the percentage of times entering the open arm， the small intestine propulsion rate， and the gastric empty rate of rats in the model group significantly decreased after gavage； the expressions of PDGFRα， Sk3， P2Y1 protein and mRNA in gastric sinusoidal tissues decreased； the co-localization expression of PDGFRα with C-kit， Sk3， SMC and PGP9.5 significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the ultrastructure of ENS-PDGFRα⁺ cell-SMC network was damaged without gap junction. Compared with model group and low-dose Shuwei Decoction group， the growth value of body mass， the percentage of open arm retention time， the percentage of times entering the open arm， the small intestine propulsion rate， and the gastric empting rate of rats in medium- and high-dose Shuwei Decoction groups increased after gavage； the expressions of PDGFRα， Sk3， P2Y1 protein and mRNA in gastric sinusoidal tissues increased； the co-localization expression of PDGFRα with C-kit， Sk3， SMC and PGP9.5 significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the ultrastructure of ENS-PDGFRα⁺ cell-SMC network was intact. Compared with medium-dose Shuwei Decoction group， the protein expressions of PDGFRα， Sk3 and P2Y1， the mRNA expressions of PDGFRα and Sk3， and the co-localization expressions of PDGFRα and C-kit， Sk3， SMC， and PGP9.5 in high-dose Shuwei Decoction group increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionShuwei Decoction can improve the pathological lesion of the gastric antrum in the FD model rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome and increase the gastric emptying rate as well as the small intestinal propusion rate. The mechanism of Shuwei Decoction on FD rats with liver-depression and spleen-deficiency syndrome is related to the protection of the ultrastructural integrity of ENS-PDGFRα⁺ cell-SMC network.
