Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer vesicles actively secreted by cells, that contain a variety of functional nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, and are important mediums of intercellular communication. Based on their natural properties, EVs can not only retain the pharmacological effects of their source cells but also serve as natural delivery carriers. Among them, plant-derived nanovesicles (PNVs) are characterized as natural disease therapeutics with many advantages such as simplicity, safety, eco-friendliness, low cost, and low toxicity due to their abundant resources, large yield, and low risk of immunogenicity in vivo. This review systematically introduces the biogenesis, isolation methods, physical characterization, and components of PNVs, and describes their administration and cellular uptake as therapeutic agents. We highlight the therapeutic potential of PNVs as therapeutic agents and drug delivery carriers, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, wound healing, regeneration, and antiaging properties as well as their potential use in the treatment of liver disease and COVID-19. Finally, the toxicity and immunogenicity, the current clinical application, and the possible challenges in the future development of PNVs were analyzed. We expect the functions of PNVs to be further explored to promote clinical translation, thereby facilitating the development of a new framework for the treatment of human diseases.

Objective:
To understand mental health status of middle school students in Weifang, and to analyze its association with health risk behaviors, and to provide a reference basis for the effective prevention of mental health problems.
Methods:
Using the self-designed questionnaire and Kessler l0 (K10), a total of 3 185 middle school students in Weifang selected by using stratified clustered sampling were investigated. Chi-square test and binary Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis.
Results:
Among the middle school students in Weifang, 1 634(51.3%) reported good mental health, 854(26.8%) in moderate level, 394(12.4%) reported poor mental health, and 303(9.5%) reported very poor mental health. Sleep duration and smoking were associated with mental health of middle school students (P<0.05). Logistic regression analyses showed that, compared with adolescents with sleep duration less than 8 h, mental health among students whose sleep duration ≥8 h was better(OR=0.36); compared with non-smokers, students who smoked showed worse mental health status (OR=3.53).
Conclusion
Health-risk behaviors are closely related to mental health of middle school students. Relevant departments should strengthen education and publicity of healthy lifestyles, and pay close attention to the impact of health risk behaviors on mental health.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the current status of clinical understanding of “prohibiting”“avoiding”“using caution ” in the application of TCM ,and to provide reference for standardizing the connotation and rational application of “prohibiting” “avoiding”“using caution ”of TCM. METHODS :Based on the theory of “knowledge-attitude-behavior”,doctor-pharmacist questionnaires and patient questionnaires were designed on the basis of literature research and clinical practice. Through the “Tencent questionnaire ”platform,800 doctor-pharmacist questionnaires were distributed to nearly 300 medical institutions from 32 provinces(cities,autonomous regions )and 800 patient questionnaires were distributed to public patiants who had used TCM nationwide by anonymous online method. After dimensionality reduction of the questionnaire from three dimensions of cognition , attention and behavior ,the cognition ,attention and behavior of “prohibiting”“avoiding”“using caution ”in the application of TCM were evaluated by 10 points system. RESULTS :A total of 703 doctor-pharmacist questionnaires were collected ,including 638 valid questionnaires with recovery rate of 87.9% and effective rate of 90.8%;Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.90. A total of 644 patient questionnaires were collected ,including 621 valid questionnaires with recovery rate of 80.5% and effective rate of 96.4% . The cognition score of doctors and pharmacists to the terms of “prohibiting”“avoiding”“using caution ”in clinical application of TCM was (7.94±1.21),and that of patients was (5.64±1.54). The score of doctors and pharmacists ’attention to the above terms was (9.47±1.15)(Spearman Rho correlation coefficient with cognition score was 0.077,P>0.05),and the score of behavioral ability of patients was (7.01±1.71)(Spearman Rho correlation coefficient with cognition score was -0.021,P> 0.05). The score of behavior ability was (7.43 ± 1.72) (Spearman Rho correlation coefficient with cognition score was 0.233,P<0.01). TCM textbooks (89.2%),trainingmeetings (66.5%) and herbal prescriptions (58.2%) were the main ways for doctors and pharmacists to learn the above taboos. Medical staff (74.2%)and internet (52.5%)were the main ways for patients to understand the above taboos. CONCLUSIONS :Doctors,pharmacists and patients pay more attention to the terms of “prohibiting”“avoiding”“using caution ”in the clinical application of TCM ,but their cognition and executive power were low. Clinical cognition of “prohibiting”“avoiding”“using caution ”in the application of TCM is relatively vague,and the corresponding clinical practice behavior is lacking. It is yet to establish clinical specialist consensus in the field of TCM and publicize it actively to improve the level of clinical rational drug use.

Objective:
To describe the epidemiological characteristics of a cluster of COVID-19 cases reported in Baodi district of Tianjin as of 18 February, 2020, which might be associated with the exposure in a local department store, and provide suggestions for prevention and control strategy development.
Methods:
The basic characteristics, time and area distributions, clinical manifestations, epidemiological history and transmission mode of the COVID-19 cases associated with the department store exposure were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 40 COVID-19 cases were associated with the department store exposure, accounting for 75.47% of the total confirmed cases (53 cases) reported in Baodi district. The cases were mainly at the age of 60 years or older (35.00%) and farmers (40.00%). The main clinical manifestations included fever (95.00%), cough (35.00%), and diarrhea (15.00%). The proportion of confirmed severe cases was 32.50%. The incidence curve showed that the incidence peak occurred on 31 January, 2020. Among the 40 cases, 6(15.00%) were department store employees, 19(47.50%) were customers and 15(37.50%) were close contacts (secondary cases). The first case occurred on 21 January, 2020, this case was a department store employee who had a purchasing history at whole sale markets in other provinces and cities before the onset, and 3 employees were still on duty after symptom onsets. The median of the incubation period of customer cases was 6 days, and the median of the interval between onset and medical treatment of customer cases was 7 days.
Conclusion
This was a cluster epidemic of COVID-19, which might be associated with the exposure in the department store. By now, the current prevention and control measures have achieved satisfied effects.

Objective To understand the current situation of tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control in schools, and to provide a basis for further improving school TB prevention and control strategies. Methods A survey of 387 schools in Tianjin was conducted. The data was statistically analyzed by chi-square test. Results Most of the schools implemented the TB prevention and control work well, including leadership responsibility, work plan and epidemic report. However, the leadership responsibility (72.34%, 34/47) and the work plan (68.09%, 32/47) in colleges and universities were not well implemented. The proportion of full-time health care personnel in schools with more than 600 students was relatively low, which was 1:2 497 in primary schools, 1:1 537 in secondary schools, and 1:2 673 in colleges and universities. The proportion of morning and afternoon checking (27.66%) and sickness absenteeism tracking (82.98%) was low in colleges and universities. There was a lower proportion of new students carrying out TB test in primary schools and secondary schools (χ2=26.05,P<0.001). The colleges and universities had a low proportion of TB check-up among students in schools and students in high epidemic areas (P<0.001). The screening rate of students who had close contacts with TB patients in primary schools was low (P<0.001). The proportion of preventive treatment in schools at all levels was low (P<0.001). Conclusion Schools at all levels in Tianjin need to utilize additional school health care personnel and increase the proportion of latent infection patients receiving preventive treatment. Primary and secondary schools should further standardize the physical examination of new students and the treatment of epidemic situation. It is necessary for colleges and universities to establish multi-level tuberculosis surveillance networks and carry out active screening.
