ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of gingerol， an active component of ginger， on Staphylococcus aureus （S. aureus） infection， and to preliminarily explore its mechanism related to extracellular vesicles （EVs）. MethodsS.aureus infection models were established in human umbilical vein endothelial cell （HUVECs）， Vero E6 cells， and C57BL/6 mice. Experimental groups included control， infection， and gingerol-treated groups. Bacterial load and VE-cadherin protein expression were detected using immunofluorescence and Western blot. EVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. miRNA sequencing was performed on EVs. ResultsGingerol treatment significantly reduced the bacterial load in both in vitro and in vivo infection models and upregulated VE-cadherin expression. miRNA sequencing of EVs revealed that S. aureus infection upregulated the expression of hsa-miR-320c， while gingerol treatment reversed this abnormal expression. Bioinformatic analysis further predicted that the target genes of hsa-miR-320c were significantly enriched in cell junction-related pathways. ConclusionGingerol exhibits clear antibacterial and host-protective effects， by regulating hsa-miR-320c in EVs to maintain endothelial barrier integrity.

N-acetyl-p-aminophenol （APAP） is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice， and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years， the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury （AILI） tends to increase， and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI， involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates， oxidative stress， JNK activation， mitochondrial dysfunction， inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI， in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

A sandglass ladder residual network(SLRN)is proposed for multi-label chest X-ray classification,thereby improving the accuracy of clinical diagnosis.SLRN consists of 3 key modules:(1)a sandglass convolutional module to simultaneously extract inter-channel and spatial information;(2)a ladder self attention block to achieve different window divisions through shift operations,expand the receptive field,and realize multi-scale feature extraction and fusion;(3)class specific residual attention in the multi-label classification stage to capture the correlation between different labels and the importance of features for accomplishing more accurate classification by adjusting the weights of different features.The proposed model is validated using the IU X-Ray dataset collected by Indiana University and the publicly available Chest X-Ray14 dataset collected by the National Institutes of Health in the United States;and the results demonstrate that SLRN which combines the advantages of convolutional neural network and vision transformer enables the capture of local features and global correlations in images,better handles long-distance dependencies,and assists doctors in clinical diagnosis.

Objective:To analyze the synergistic relationship between financing and payment systems in China's urban employee basic medical insurance under the background of aging,providing decision-making basis for promoting coordinated development of these two systems.Methods:Based on statistical yearbook data from medical security systems,the Delphi method was employed to identify collaborative analysis indicators for urban employee medical insurance financing and payment under the aging population context.A collaborative theory-based model was constructed to measure the coordination degree of China's urban employee medical insurance financing and payment composite system,while simultaneously assessing the orderliness of the financing and payment system and the coordination degree of the composite system.Results:The order degree of the financing system ranged from 0.324 in 2019 to 0.517 in 2023;the order degree of the payment system ranged from 0.454 in 2019 to 0.517 in 2023;the synergy degree of both systems reached-0.084 in 2023.Conclusions:Influenced by aging,the development speed and scale of China's urban employee basic medical insurance financing system and payment system are asynchronous,with the payment system being more affected than the financing system,resulting in a non-coordinated and disordered development state of the composite financing-payment system.

Objective:To analyze the effect of migration experiences during working age on the status of chronic disease development among rural older adults.Methods:Based on data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS),this study applied regression model and group-based trajectory model to examines the impact of migration experience on the status and growth trajectories of chronic diseases among rural older adults.Results:(1)Rural older adults with migration experience are more likely to develop chronic diseases and have a greater number of chronic disease in later life.(2)Rural older adults with migration experiences have a higher starting point and a faster rate of growth trajectory of chronic disease.Suggestions:It is necessary to strengthen occupational protection and health education for the rural-urban migrant population,reinforce the intervention and management of chronic diseases for the returning population,and improve the whole life-cycle medical insurance system,to break the disadvantageous cumulative effect of migration experience on health.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the current financing status of Beijing's urban and rural residents'basic medical insurance,analyze equity disparities among different groups under the existing flat-rate financing policy.By simulating the equity changes of various financing schemes with different contribution rates,this study aims to provide foundations for advancing medical insurance financing system reform.Methods:Based on the per capita disposable income and number of insured residents in Beijing's 16 districts from 2018 to 2023,we separately calculated the Gini coefficient,concentration index,and Kakwani index,along with their changes before and after financing adjustments,to assess the funding burden among different insured groups.Using the geometric mean method,we projected per capita disposable income and insured populations for each district in Beijing from 2024 to 2035,simulating various financing schemes under different premium rate systems.Results:From 2018 to 2023,the Gini coefficient of net income after financing consistently exceeded that of original income before financing.The concentration index remained positive and showed an upward trend,while the Kakwani index was negative for all periods.The Gini coefficient after financing slightly decreased for the elderly and working populations with fiscal subsidy support,whereas it remained higher than that for students and children.Under the simulated differentiated rate system,the post-funding Gini coefficient for 2024-2035 was lower than the original value,and the Kakwani index was positive.Conclusions:The current fixed-amount financing mechanism for urban and rural residents'basic medical insurance exhibits regressive characteristics and insufficient fairness,with disparities in equity among different insured groups.It is necessary to establish differentiated financing standards based on differential rates,particularly implementing a financing mechanism with dynamic adjustments according to regional and group income levels,to enhance the fairness of financing for urban and rural residents'basic medical insurance.

Objective To evaluate the surgical technique and clinical value of laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy guided by inserting ureteral catheters into the diverticulum under plasmakinetic resectoscope.Methods From December 2018 to May 2024,9 patients underwent laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy in combination with resectoscope.Each patient had a solitary bladder diverticulum with a median maximum diameter of 6.40(5.70,7.40)cm(range:5.0～8.5 cm).Among the 9 patients,3 patients had concurrent benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and simultaneously underwent transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate;1 patient had concurrent both BPH and bladder calculi,requiring simultaneously underwent plasmakinetic resection of the prostate and bladder calculi removal;2 patients required ureteral reimplantation as the diverticulum was directly involving the ureteral orifice;1 case underwent ureteroscopic double-J stent implantation because the opening of the ipsilateral ureter was adjacent to the entrance of the diverticulum.Results Bladder diverticulectomy was successfully performed in the all patients.Median operative time was 160.00(120.00,317.50)min(range:85～345 min).Median estimated blood loss was 20.00(10.00,150.00)mL(range:10～300 mL).No iatrogenic injuries to adjacent organs were observed.Pelvic drains were removed 1～3 d postoperatively,with no urine leakage.Urinary catheters were maintained for 7～10 d after operation.Follow-up at 3～12 months showed no recurrence or hydronephrosis in any of the patients.Conclusion Laparoscopic resection of bladder diverticula guided by ureteral catheter placed into bladder diverticula by means of resectoscope has the advantages of less trauma,less bleeding and faster recovery,and is an effective measure for the treatment of bladder diverticula.

Aim To investigate the intervention effect of Rehmannia radix water extract on bleomycin(BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice combined with metabolomics and to reveal the potential mechanism,in order to provide new ideas for clinical treatment of pul-monary fibrosis.Methods Male C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into the control group,model group,pirfenidone group(positive control,PFD,270 mg·kg-1),and low dose(DH-L,4.55 g·kg-1)group,medium dose(DH-M,9.1 g·kg-1)group and high dose(DH-H,18.2 g·kg-1)group of Rehman-nia.Except for the control group,BLM(5 mg·kg-1)was instilled into the trachea to establish the model of pulmonary fibrosis in the other groups.The survival rate,lung index and blood oxygen saturation of mice in each group were evaluated.HE and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue.WBP was used to detect lung function.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of primary lung cells,ROS and immune cells.ELISA was used to detect the levels of fibrosis markers and inflammatory factors(α-SMA,collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,TGF-β1,TNF-α,IL-1 β,and IL-6).Biochemical method was employed to detect the contents of GSH-Px,T-SOD and MDA.Liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer(LC-MS)metabolomics was used to analyze the changes of serum metabolic profile.Results Water extract of Re-hmannia significantly increased the survival rate,oxy-gen saturation and lung function of mice with pulmona-ry fibrosis,reduced the lung coefficient,ameliorated pathological damage and collagen deposition in lung tissue,reduced the levels of apoptosis and oxidative stress,and down-regulated the levels of inflammatory factors in lung tissue.It regulated the levels of metabo-lites such as bile acid metabolism,sphingolipid metabo-lism,and unsaturated fatty acid metabolism.Conclu-sions Water extract of Rehmannia inhibits lung injury and collagen deposition in mice with pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting inflammatory response,which may be a-chieved by regulating the levels of inflammatory factors through the metabolic pathways of bile acid and sphin-golipid.

As the simplest label-free single-molecule analytical technique in solution,nanopore technology has been widely used in rapid sequencing of protein and nucleic acid,and single-molecule sensing.However,the main challenge is to get this technology out of the lab and achieve automation,miniaturization as well as rapid analysis at high throughput.In this work,a new microfluidic tubing protein nanopore analysis system was designed and constructed by combining microfluidic and nanopore nanofluidic analysis techniques.An arcuate lipid bilayer was formed in the microfluidic device through lipid monolayer at the oil/water interface by developed aperture processing technology at 10 μm level.The arcuate lipid bilayer with the life span of more than 98 h had high biomimetic fluidity and biological activity by which protein channel could be produced and sealed at 18 GΩ level without leakage.When applied+40 mV potential,relative standard deviation of single proteinα-hemolysin mutant(α-HL(M113F/K147N))channel current was less than 0.16 pA(n=3)in 10 mmol/L Tris-HCl(pH 7.4)buffer containing 1 mol/L NaCl.Single-molecule detection for aptamer and its host-guest interactions with biotin in protein channel demonstrated that this microfluidic tube protein nanopore sensor could well work with high sensitivity without the need of anti-vibration table and shielding cage.
