Objective: To analyze respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) outbreaks surveillance results and the epidemiological characteristics in kindergarten and school in Shenzhen during 2017-2023 , so as to provide a scientific reference for control and prevention of RSV. Methods: Epidemiological data and surveillance results of RSV outbreaks in kindergarten and school from 2017 to 2023 were collected for descriptive analyses. Results: A total of 31 RSV outbreaks were identified in kindergarten and school in 2017-2023 in Shenzhen, 346 cases were reported, the average incidence rate was 22.02%. The most annual RSV outbreaks were reported in 2020 with 14 outbreaks, followed by 8 outbreaks in 2023. A total of 64.52% of RSV outbreaks were identified in kindergarten with rest occurring in primary school or middle school. The greatest monthly count of outbreak was 18 (58.06%) in September, followed by 3 outbreaks (9.68%) in March and October. A total of 244 swab samples were collected, 169 samples were positive for respiratory viruses, the positive rate was 69.26%, 121 samples were positive for RSV,from 31 respiratory syncytical virus outbreaks 57 and samples were positive for other respiratory viruses(9 samples were positive for two respiratory viruses). A toral of 14(45.16%) outbreaks are caused by RSV alone, 17 outbreaks (54.84%) were caused by RSV and other respiratory viruses. Conclusions Most RSV outbreaks in kindergarten and school are reported after 2020 in Shenzhen, most RSV outbreaks occur in kindergarten, peak seasons of RSV outbreaks are autumn and spring.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features and long-term prognosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients with different onset ages.Methods:A total of 243 patients diagnosed with AAV at the First Affiliated Hospital to Nanjing Medical University from May 2009 to January 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the elderly group (age≥60 years old) and middle-aged and young patient group (age<60 years old) according to the age of onset. The baseline clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors for progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in elderly AVV patients were analyzed. The clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis of the two groups of patients were compared. The measurement data were analyzed by t-test or rank sum test, and the count data were analyzed by chi-square test. The risk factors for the progression of ESRD in elderly patients with AAV were analyzed by binary multivariate logistic regression. Results:A total of 243 AAV patients were included, among which 174 cases were microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and 69 cases were granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). In 157 elderly patients, with 72 cases female, 84.1%(132 cases) had MPA. Compared with young and middle-aged patients, renal involvement is more common in elderly patients with AAV [(eldrly group 133 cases, 84.7%) vs. middle-aged and young patient group: 61 cases(70.9%), χ2=6.557, P=0.010]. The proportion of patients with hypertension, thrombosis, stroke, coronary heart disease, and COPD was higher compared to non-elder patients ( P<0.05). Elderly patients with AAV have higher levels of IgA and serum creatinine. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that compared with young and middle-aged patients, elderly AAV patients had a higher all-cause mortality rate within 1 year after disease onset and a higher risk of progressing to ESRD within 1 year ( P<0.05), while the levels of IgM, C3, C4, albumin, and hemoglobin were lower ( P<0.05). 86 patients were middle-aged and young patients, with 54 cases were female and 51.2%(44 cases) had GPA. Ear, nose, and throat involvement was more common than elder patients[elderly group: 26 cases(16.2%) vs. middle-aged and young patient group: 31 cases(36.0%), χ2=10.864, P=0.001]. The median follow-up duration was 18 (7, 60) months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that compared with middle-aged and young patients, elderly AVV patients had a higher all-cause mortality rate within 1 year after disease onset and a higher risk of progression to ESRD within 1 year ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that baseline serum creatinine level [ OR(95% CI)=1.008(1.003, 1.012), P<0.001] was an independent risk factor for progression to ESRD in elderly patients. Conclusion:Elderly patients with AAV have more severe organ damage, higher all-cause mortality within one year, and a higher risk of progression to ESRD within one year after disease onset close monitoring of high-risk elderly patients should be strengthened.

Objective: To analyze the monitoring results and characteristics of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) outbreaks in Shenzhen in kindergartens and schools during 2017-2023, so as to provide a evidence for prevention and control of respiratory diseases. Methods: Based on the epidemiological data and laboratory test results of HMPV outbreaks in kindergartens and schools of Shenzhen during 2017 to 2023, collected from the influenza monitoring network platform, Mann Kendall test was applied for trend analysis pf HMPV. Results: A total of 11 HMPV outbreaks were identified in kindergartens and schools from 2017 to 2023 for 128 cases with an average incidence rate of 26.61% in 2018. The most yearly HMPV outbreaks were reported in 2020 being 4 outbreaks, followed by 2 outbreaks in 2018. A total of 72.73% (8 outbreaks) of HMPV outbreaks were identified in kindergartens with 27.27% (3 outbreaks) occurring in primary schools. The monthly greatest count of outbreak was 3(27.27%) in March and December, followed by 2 outbreaks (18.18%) in April and June. A total of 98 swab samples were collected, and 80 samples were positive for respiratory viruses with a positive rate of 81.63%; among them, 67 samples were positive for HMPV alone, 10 samples were positive for other respiratory viruses alone, and 3 samples were positive both for HMPV and other respiratory virus. Among the 11 human metalung virus cases, 6 HMPV outbreaks were caused by human metapneumovirus alone, and 5 outbreaks were caused by HMPV and other respiratory viruses. Except for 2020, the percentage of HMPV outbreaks in influenza like illness outbreaks increased with year ( Z=2.25, P =0.02). Conclusion HMPV outbreaks have been reported every year from 2017 to 2023 in kindergartens and schools in Shenzhen, most of HMPV in kindergartens, and the peak seasons of HMPV outbreaks are spring and winter.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To clarify the resource status and diversity of endemic medicinal plants in Shaanxi province. METHODS The species specificity, species composition, faunal composition, family and genus types, medicinal value and endangerment degree of endemic medicinal plants in Shaanxi province were studied by literature review.RESULTS There were 713 species of 331 genera and 101 families endemic to Chinese medicinal plants in the study area. Fifteen species were naturally distributed only in Shaanxi province, and the remaining 698 species were also naturally distributed in other provinces of China. Among the 713 species, 233 species(69 families, 159 genera) were not collected from the fourth resource census in Shaanxi province. There were 11 species of pteridophytes in 7 families and 11 genera, 14 species of gymnosperms in 4 families and 10 genera, 627 species of dicotyledons in 82 families and 278 genera, and 59 species of monocots in 8 families and 32 genera. The endemic life forms of medicinal plants in the study area were mostly herbaceous, followed by shrubs and trees, and semi-shrubs and epiphytes accounted for the least. There were 9 families with ≥ 20 species and 4 families with ≥ 10 species in the study area. The 90 families belonging to the endemic species of medicinal plants in Shaanxi province were divided into 13 distribution types and 9 variations, and the tropical distribution(2-7 categories) had a total of 34 families. There were 5 endemic species of medicinal plants in the study area under the national class I key protection, and 14 species under the national class II key protection. There were 26 species of plants under local key protection in Shaanxi province. There were 21 plants that could be used as original plants for medicinal materials included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China(2020 edition). CONCLUSION The endemic species of medicinal plants in Shaanxi province are rich in resources and have good medicinal value. However, the growing environment of some plants is harsh and human damage is serious. Multiple protection measures should be taken to maintain the species diversity and sustainable development of resources in the study area.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of moderate aerobic exercise intervention for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods Randomized Clinical Trials(RCTs) that assessed the effectiveness of aerobic exercise intervention for patients with Alzheimer's disease were reviewed using multiple electronic databases systematically. Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.2.0 version. Results Eight RCTs were included. Meta-analysis indicated that moderate aerobic exercise could improve the score of MMSE(WMD=1.58,95%CI:0.63~2.53,P<0.01),reduce the score of Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale(ADAS-Cog)(WMD=-4.06,95%CI:-6.83~-1.28,P<0.01) and the score of Neuropsychiatric Inventory(WMD=-3.97,95%CI:-5.69~-2.25,P<0.01). Conclusion Moderate Aer-obic exercise can improve cognitive function of Alzheimer's patients,and improve their neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Objective To investigate the effects of human milk fortifier on premature infant's cardiac function.Methods From January 2014 to December 2016, sixty premature infants of paediatric preterm infants were selected from Daqing Longnan Hospital,Heilongjiang province. The random number table method was divided into 30 cases (milk feeding and strengthening agent) and the control group of 30 cases (pure milk feeding).The heart rate of premature infant was measured before, during and after using human milk fortifier. After using human mike fortifier for 1 week, heart rate, electrocardiogram (p-wave duration, QRS wave duration, P-R interval, incidence of arrhythmia), echocardiogram (LVEF, RVEF, E/A ratio of mitral and tricuspid valves) and myocardial enzymes (the quantity of AST, LDH, CK and CK-MB) were compared between experimental group and control group.Results The heart rate of premature infant during using human milk fortifier was significantly faster than those before and after using human milk fortifier and that of children in the control group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in electrocardiogram (p-wave duration, QRS wave duration, P-R interval), the systolic and diastolic function of the heart and myocardial enzymes between the experimental and control groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Human milk fortifier can increase the heart rate of premature infant, and has no harmful effect on cardiac electrical activity, pump function and myocardial enzymes.

Objective To evaluate the application value of confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM)in the differentiation between seborrheic keratosis and Bowen′s disease. Methods CLSM was used to observe typical skin lesions in 88 patients clinically diagnosed with seborrheic keratosis and 18 patients clinically diagnosed with Bowen′s disease. Then, tissue specimens were resected from these lesions and subjected to histopathological examination. Results CLSM imaging of seborrheic keratosis lesions showed gyrus?like structures and keratin?filled inclusion cysts in the epidermis with trabecula?like extension of rete ridges in all the 88 cases, basal cells arranged in a cordike or radial pattern in 9 cases, and bright reflective structures in the basal layer and dermis in 6 cases. CLSM imaging of Bowen′s disease lesions revealed disorderly arrangement of large, irregularly shaped atypical cells in some areas in the middle and lower epidermis, and infiltration of scattered mononuclear cells in the superficial dermis. Conclusion CLSM images of seborrheic keratosis are different from those of Bowen′s disease, and CLSM may be helpful for their differential diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the expression of monokine induced by interferon- γ(Mig) in serum and chemokine receptor 3(CXCR3)on lymphocytes of peripheral blood in children with bronchiolitis.MethodsIn this study, 55 patients with bronchiolitis in our hospital were randomly recuited, and were divided into two groups: atopic group and non-atopic group. Of the same age 26 healthy children had been enrolled randomly as control group. The level of CXCR3 expression (CD183) on lymphocytes of peripheral blood was detected by lfow cytometry in all children. The level of Mig in serum was assayed by ELISA.ResultsThe level of CD183 expression on the CD3+CD4+T lymphocytes in atopic group and non-atopic group(16.39±4.13%,14.39±3.74 %)were higher than that of control group(11.17±3.13%,P<0.05),CD183+CD4+/CD4+% in atopic group were higher than that in non-atopic group(P<0.05). The level of CD183 expression on CD3+CD8+T lymphocytes in atopic group and non-atopic group(67.18±10.57 %, 61.44±11.46 %)were higher than that of control group(51.19±5.42 %, P<0.05),CD183+CD8+/CD8+% in atopic group were signiifcantly higher than that in non-atopic group(P<0.05). The level of Mig in serum of children with bronchiolitis in atopic group and non-atopic group(99.67±35.77ng/L, 120.28±32.28ng/L)were signiifcantly higher than that in control group(63.90±15.82 ng/L,P<0.05). The level of Mig in non-atopic group was higher than that in atopic group, there was signiifcant difference(P<0.05).ConclusionsMig and CXCR3 are involved in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, and CXCR3 may relate to allergic factors.

80% activity rate against E.coli included piperacillin/tazobactam(93.4%)、ceftazidime(86%),and amikacin(83.3%);The susceptible rate to piperacillin/tazobactam in K.pneumoniae was 84.6%. The susceptible rate to ceftazidime decreased from 82.3% to 69.9%, which was lower than to cefepime (77.2%). Over 50% of Enterobacter cloacae were resistant to ceftazidime, cefotaxime and ceftriaxone. Susceptible rates to piperacillin/tazobactam in E. cloacae,E. aerogenes,Citrobacter freundii and Serratia marcescens (67.7%-96.4%) were higher than those to cefepime (68.8%-77.5%), cefoperazone/sulbactam (59.7%-87.5%). Susceptibility to amikacin among these 4 species (70%-83.7%) was higher than to ciprofloxacin (48.1%-79.5%). All of Morganella morganii and Proteus vulgaris isolates were susceptible to meropenem and imipenem; Over 90% of the isolates were susceptible to cefepime, cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam.The most active agent against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was meropenem (84%), followed by amikacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime and imipenem (72.5%-76.6%). Mutiple-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii increased from 33% in 2003 to 48% in 2004. Resistance to carbapenems increased to 18% in this species in 2004. The most active agents against Burkholderia cepacia were meropenme (64.9%), cefoperazon/sulbactam (63.2%), ceftazidime (59.6%), piperacillin/tazobactam (56.1%) and cefepime (52.6%).Conclusions Carbapenems remained very high activity against Enterobacteriaceae. Increasing resistance to 10 antimicrobials agents tested among A. baumanni brought great concern. Meropenem was 4-to 16-fold more active against common gram-negative bacilli than imipenem.
