This paper systematically reviews the current status of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection, as well as recent progress in clinical and basic research both in China and internationally. It summarizes the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Hp infection management, including improving Hp eradication rates, enhancing antibiotic sensitivity, reducing antimicrobial resistance, decreasing drug-related adverse effects, and ameliorating gastric mucosal lesions. These advantages are particularly evident in patients who are intolerant to bismuth-containing regimens, those with refractory Hp infection, and individuals with precancerous gastric lesions. An integrated, whole-process management approach and individualized, staged comprehensive treatment strategies combining TCM and western medicine are proposed for Hp infection. Future prevention and control of Hp infection should adopt an integrative Chinese-western medical strategy, emphasizing prevention, strengthening primary care, implementing proactive long-term monitoring, optimizing screening strategies, and advancing the development of novel technologies and mechanistic studies of Chinese herbal interventions. These efforts aim to provide a theoretical basis and practical pathways for the establishment and improvement of Hp infection prevention and control systems.

Objective:To analyze clinical indicators and imaging data of hospitalized pneumonia patients and develop prediction models for length of hospital stay based on CT radiomics features and clinical indicators.Methods:Patients admitted to the First Clinical School of Hainan Medical University for pneumonia treatment between November 2020 and May 2024 were enrolled. Clinical data and CT imaging were collected, and radiomics features were extracted. Patients were divided into three groups based on the length of stay (<8 d, 8-28 d,>28 d, and poor prognosis). Three prediction models were constructed using logistic regression (LR): clinical features model, imaging features model and a combined clinical and imaging features model. The predictive performance of three models was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and DeLong test, followed by feature analysis. The Kappa test was used to compare the consistency of the overall classification.Results:A total of 343 subjects were included, with an average age of 61.46±20.98 years. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the combined model in different hospitalization duration classifications (<8 d, 8-28 d,>28 d, and poor prognosis) were 0.73, 0.65 and 0.78 in the training set, and 0.71, 0.65 and 0.76 in the validation set, respectively. The AUC values of the clinical feature model in different hospitalization duration classifications were 0.63, 0.64 and 0.73 in the training set, and 0.60, 0.52 and 0.63 in the validation set, respectively. The AUC values of the imaging feature model in different hospitalization duration classifications (<8 d, 8-28 d,>28 d, and poor prognosis) were 0.67, 0.66 and 0.73 in the training set, and 0.68, 0.54 and 0.66 in the validation set, respectively. The DeLong test results showed that the combined model outperformed other models in hospitalization duration classification (validation set AUC, all P<0.05, Bonferroni correction). Kappa test results showed that the combined model achieved the highest consistency between predicted classifications and actual hospitalization classifications ( K=0.615). Shape features, texture features and clinical features all contributed proportionally to the combined model. Conclusion:The combined model integrating radiomics features with clinical indicators can significantly enhance the predictive efficacy for the length of hospitalization in pneumonia patients.

Objective:To prepare ((2-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-((2- 18F-fluoroethyl)oxy)phenyl)-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydrooxepino[3, 2-c]pyrazol-8-yl)amino)methanoic acid methyl ester ( 18F-JR-1001) and evaluate its binding affinity to the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R). Methods:18F-JR-1001 was synthesized using an integrated automated synthesis module, and its radiochemical yield (RCY) and molar activity were determined. Cell-specific uptake, lipid-water partition coefficient (log P), competitive binding assays, and in vitro stability tests were performed. Rimonabant-fed rat models (blocking group) with pre-occupied CB1R were established. Radioautography and microPET/CT imaging were conducted on both the blocking group and normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats to evaluate the brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 and its blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration capability. Results:The RCY of the synthetic 18F-JR-1001 after decay correction was (32.5±9.2)% ( n=10), with the molar activity of (194.6±67.3)GBq/μmol. Cell experiments demonstrated that 18F-JR-1001 exhibited specificity for CB1R, with log P of 3.40±0.11 ( n=3) and half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.975nmol/L. Within 3h at 37℃, the radiochemical purity of 18F-JR-1001 in physiological saline and blood remained above 92%, with no significant radioactive by-product peaks observed. Radioautography showed that the whole brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 in the blocking group was 65.6% of that in normal SD rats. MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the mean whole brain uptake of 18F-JR-1001 in the blocking group was 0.4706, which was lower than that in normal SD rats (1.0561). Additionally, continuous scanning for 60min demonstrated that 18F-JR-1001 exhibited good BBB penetration capability. Conclusion:The synthesized 18F-JR-1001 meets the requirements of production and application, and is proved the potential as a CB1R-targeted tracer in the in vitro experiments, microPET/CT imaging and radioautography.

Objective:To investigate the role and possible mechanism of tripartite motif-containing protein 72 (Trim72) in acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) in mice.Methods:A mouse model of AVMC was established by intraperitoneal injection of Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3, 2.0 × 10 5 PFU/mouse). Forty mice were randomly divided into the negative control (NC) + phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group (NC+PBS group), Trim72 overexpression + PBS group (Trim72 + PBS group), NC + CVB3 group, and Trim72 + CVB3 group ( n = 10). Fourteen days before modeling, mice in each group were injected with adeno-associated virus type 9 vector (AAV9) encoding either negative control or Trim72 overexpression (5.0 × 10 11 VG/mouse) via tail vein. Subsequently, PBS or CVB3 was injected intraperitoneally in the PBS and CVB3 groups, respectively. After seven days, the surviving mice were euthanized, and the heart and serum samples were collected. HE and TUNEL staining were used to observe the cardiac pathological changes and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, respectively. The mRNA expression levels of Trim72 and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in myocardial tissues of each group were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of cTnI, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in serum were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of Trim72, apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, Cleaved caspase-3, Caspase-3), TLR4, p-p65, and p65 were detected by Western blot. Results:The protein and mRNA expression levels of Trim72 in myocardial tissues of mice in the NC+CVB3 group were significantly downregulated compared with those in the NC + PBS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the NC + CVB3 group, Trim72 overexpression significantly increased the protein and mRNA expression of Trim72 in myocardial tissues ( P<0.05), ameliorated myocardial inflammatory injury, decreased the apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes ( P<0.05), and reduced the levels of pro-inflammation cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the myocardium and serum ( P<0.05). Additionally, Trim72 overexpression also downregulated the protein expression of Bax, Cleaved caspase-3/Caspase-3, TLR4, and p-p65, and upregulated the protein expression of Bcl-2 in myocardial tissues ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the indexes of mice between the NC + PBS and Trim72 + PBS groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Trim72 overexpression attenuates AVMC in mice by inhibiting myocardial inflammatory injury and apoptotic imbalance, and the mechanism may be related to the negative regulation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:The study aimed to validate the Neuroception of Psychological Safety Scale (NPSS) in terms of reliability and validity among individuals with mental disorders in China.Methods:The Study followed Brislin′s translation principles to adapt the scale into Chinese. From February to June 2023, a total of 638 hospitalized patients with mental disorders (477 with schizophrenia and 161 with mood disorders) were selected through gender-stratified simple random sampling from the Shanghai Pudong New Area Mental Health Center and the Shanghai Baoshan Mental Health Center. The Chinese version of the NPSS and the Security Questionnaire (SQ) were administered. The reliability of the scale was measured using split-half reliability and test-retest reliability. Validity was assessed through content validity, structural validity, convergent validity, and discriminative validity analyses. In addition, SQ was used as a criterion tool to test the validity of the criterion through Pearson correlation analysis.Results:The Chinese version of the NPSS contained 29 items, with total scores ranging from 29 to 145. Higher total scores indicated greater psychological safety. Item analysis showed a decider value of 10.58 to 20.80 (>3), and the correlation between items and total scores ranged from 0.579 to 0.749 (all P<0.05). The item-level content validity index (I-CVI) for the items ranged from 0.86 to 1.00, while the average scale-level content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.99. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors: social participation, empathy, and bodily sensations, which is consistent with the structure of the original scale, explaining a cumulative variance contribution rate of 62.551%. Confirmatory analysis revealed a satisfactory model fit, with average variance extracted (AVE) values for the three dimensions ranging from 0.523 to 0.645, and composite reliability(CR) ranging from 0.905 to 0.938. The standard loading coefficients for the items ranged from 0.608 to 0.859, and inter-factor correlation coefficients were all smaller than the square roots of their respective AVE values. Pearson correlation analysis indicated significant positive relationships between the Chinese NPSS and SQ ( r=0.822-0.846, P<0.01). Reliability analysis showed Cronbach′s alpha coefficients of 0.903-0.959 for the total scale and subscales. After a 3-week interval, test-retest reliability (70 patients) ranged from 0.874 to 0.983, and split-half reliability was 0.869-0.969. All model fit indices met established criteria. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the NPSS demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it suitable for both research and clinical applications in assessing psychological security among individuals with schizophrenia and mood disorders.

Objective:To investigate the screening, clinical and genetic characteristics and prognosis of hereditary tyrosinemia type Ⅰ (HT-Ⅰ) in some areas of Shanghai, and to summarize the relevant characteristics of Chinese cases reported at home and abroad.Methods:From December 2010 to May 2023, the clinical data of children diagnosed with HT-Ⅰ by tandem mass spectrometry combined with genetic detection in Neonatal Screening Center of Shanghai Children′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:A total of 282 149 neonates were screened for genetic metabolic disease by tandem mass spectrometry, and 1 case of HT-Ⅰ was diagnosed, with an incidence of 1∶282 149. Complex heterozygous mutations of FAH genes c. 974C>T and c. 22G>T were found by genetic testing. c. 22G>T was not reported as a new mutation. Diet and drug therapy were given immediately after diagnosis. At present, the follow-up was up to 8 months, and the physical and intellectual development were normal. A total of 32 literatures meeting the inclusion criteria were obtained through database search, and 46 cases of HT-Ⅰ Chinese children were reported. Most of the clinical manifestations were abdominal distension, poor appetite, jaundice, etc., accompanied by different degrees of abnormal coagulation function, hepatosplenomegalysis, cirrhosis and even liver failure. A total of 25 alleles were reported, and the variation of c. 455G>A was the most common. Conclusions:HT-Ⅰ is rare in the population of Shanghai, China, and new mutations enrich the variation spectrum of HT-Ⅰ, which provides basis for family genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis of children.
