ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and possible mechanism of Sishenwan in ameliorating visceral sensitivity in the rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency. MethodForty male SPF-grade rats were randomly assigned into five groups: blank control, model, low- (3.51 g·kg-1) and high-dose (7.02 g·kg-1) Sishenwan, and Peifikang (0.54 g·kg-1) groups. Except the blank control group, the other groups underwent maternal separation stress and Sennae Folium decoction gavage for the modeling of IBS-D due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency. After corresponding drug interventions, the general conditions of the rats were observed, and the number of defecation pellets within 6 h and the minimum threshold of abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) were measured. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, gastrin (GAS), corticosterone (CORT), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed to observe pathological changes in the colon tissue. Toluidine blue staining was used to assess mast cell degranulation in the colon tissue. Western blot was performed to determine the protein levels of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) in the colon tissue. Immunohistochemistry was employed to measure the protein level of TRPV1 in the colon tissue, and immunofluorescence was used to detect the positive expression of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the colon tissue. ResultCompared with the blank control group, the model group showed increased number of defecation pellets within 6 h (P<0.01), decreased minimum threshold of AWR (P<0.01), elevated serum TNF-α level (P<0.01), lowered levels of GAS, CORT, and ACTH (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased mast cell degranulation rate (P<0.01), increased positive expression of TRPV1, SP, and CGRP (P<0.05, P<0.01), and upregulated protein levels of p38 MAPK, JNK, TRPV1, and PAR2 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high-dose Sishenwan group showed increased minimum threshold of AWR (P<0.01), reduced defecation frequency in both the high-dose Sishenwan and Peifikang groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), lowered TNF-α level (P<0.05, P<0.01), elevated levels of GAS, CORT, and ACTH (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased mast cell degranulation rate (P<0.01), reduced positive expression of TRPV1, SP, and CGRP (P<0.05, P<0.01), and downregulated protein levels of p38 MAPK, JNK, TRPV1, and PAR2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionSishenwan can ameliorate visceral sensitivity in the rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome due to spleen-kidney Yang deficiency by regulating the p38 MAPK/JNK/TRPV1 signaling pathway.

Objective:
To investigate the trends in incidence of stroke in Jindong District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2022, so as to provide to the evidence for improving the stroke control strategy.
Methods:
The incidence of stroke in Jindong District from 2016 to 2022 was collected through the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Monitoring Information System, and standardized by the data of the Chinese National Population Census in 2010. The gender-, age- and subtype-specific incidence of stroke was calculated, and the trends in stroke incidence were investigated with average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results:
A total of 9 159 stroke cases were reported in Jindong District from 2016 to 2022, with crude incidence of 386.52/105 and standardized incidence of 276.75/105. The crude incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=3.704%, 95%CI: 0.792%-6.700%, P<0.05), while the standardized incidence showed no significant changing patterns (P>0.05). The crude incidence of stroke was significantly higher among men than among women (438.69/105 vs. 334.66/105; χ2=14.028, P<0.05), and the standardized incidence of stroke was significantly higher among men than among women (316.58/105 vs. 237.31/105; χ2=6.985, P<0.05). The crude incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise with age(χ2=5 290.180, P<0.05), and the crude incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a decline with age among residents at ages of 45 to 64 years (AAPC=-9.135%, 95%CI: -15.003% to -2.861%, P<0.05), while no significant changing patterns were found in the crude incidence of stroke among residents at other age groups (P>0.05). The crude incidence of ischemic stroke was significantly higher than that of hemorrhagic stroke (306.08/105 vs. 76.89/105; χ2=137.184, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise in Jindong District from 2016 to 2022, with ischemic stroke as the predominant subtype. Male and middle-aged and elderly populations should be given a high priority for stroke control.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) attentional network damage.Methods:A total of 40 CAE children and 40 healthy children who received physical examination in the Provincial Children's Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from November 2017 to September 2018 were selected for online examination by using the improved attention netwoks test (ANT).Results:The accuracy rate of attention network examination in CAE children [(94.98±2.20)%] was lower than that in the healthy control group [(97.58±1.52)%], and the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.151, P<0.001). The total mean response time of the CAE group [(1 076.9 5±190.32)ms] was significantly longer than that of the control group [(863.85±200.00)ms], and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.882, P<0.001). The alertness network efficiency in the CAE group [(43.18±48.98)ms] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(66.18±37.37)ms], the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.361, P<0.05). The executive control network efficiency in the CAE group[(103.65±58.72)ms] was significantly lower than that in the control group [(72.28±42.56)ms], and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.736, P<0.05). The directional network efficiency of the CAE group[(26.73±45.10)ms] was lower than that of the control group[(29.45±27.15)ms], but the difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.327, P>0.05). Age of onset was a relatively independent risk factor affecting the total mean response time of ANT in children. Conclusion:This study has proved that children with CAE have damage to attention network, and their age of onset is a clinically relevant risk factor for the level of attention network in them.

Objective To analyze the antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical isolates in Shanghai Xinhua Hospital Chongming Branch affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine , a member of China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System, during 2015, for the purpose to facilitate rational antimicrobial therapy. Methods Strain identification?and?susceptibility?testing?were?carried?out?for?the?clinical?isolates?using?MicroScan?WalkAway?96?Automated?Systems and Kirby-Bauer method. Results In 2015, a total of 1815 isolates were collected, including gram-negative bacteria (73.2 %) and gram-positive bacteria (26.8 %). The top three frequently isolated species were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ESBL-producing strains were found in 36.3 % of the Escherichia coli isolates, 12.6 % of the Klebsiella (K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca) isolates, and 28.0 % of the Proteus mirabilis isolates. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains was 0.69 % in Enterobacteriaceae isolates. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strain was 29.1 % in S. aureus, and 61.4 % in coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates. No more than 15 % of the Enterobacteriaceae isolates and no more than 20 % of the P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter isolates were resistant to carbapenems. No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found in Enterococcus or Staphylococcus. Conclusions Antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates are a serious threat for clinical antimicrobial treatment. We should pay more attention to such urgent situation and rational use of antibiotics.
