Objective:To investigate the intention to stay on among primary health care workers (PHWs) during the COVID-19 epidemics and its influencing factors.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among PHWs from 62 primary health institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across China selected by multi-stage whole cluster random sampling method between May and October 2022. According to the job position, the PHWs were divided into 5 categories: general practitioners (GPs), nurses, public health doctors, managers and support staff. Intention to stay was measured using the Chinese version of the Intention to Stay Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the intention to stay in PHWs of different occupational categories, including personal factors, work factors, factors related to the COVID-19 and psychological reactions.Results:A total of 3 769 PHWs from 44 community health service centers, 18 township hospitals of 27 provinces/autonomous regions and 4 municipalities participated in this survey. The mean age of participants was (37.4±9.2) years, including 2 971(78.8%) women. The mean score of intention to stay of participants was 21.7±4.1. Compared with GPs, managers had lower intention to stay ( P=0.004). Age, female, in marriage, monthly income, years of primary care service, self-evaluation of unit support function, MSQ-SF score, and PA score were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while PHQ-9 score, EE score, and DP score were negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05). The MSQ-SF scores of all occupational categories were positively correlated with the scores of intention to stay (all P<0.01). In addition, among GPs, monthly income, years of service in primary care, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA scores were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while PHQ-9 scores and EE scores were negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05). Among nurses, age, female gender, monthly income, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA score were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while EE scores and retention will score were negatively associated with ( P<0.001). Among public health doctors, in marriage was positively correlated with the score of intention to stay ( P=0.018). Among managers, DP score was negatively correlated with the score of intention to stay ( P=0.001). Among support staff, female gender, monthly income, years of primary care service, self-evaluation of unit support function, and PA scores were positively correlated with the score of intention to stay (all P<0.05), while EE score and DP score were negatively correlated with intention to stay (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The intention to stay of PHWs in China during the COVID-19 was at an intermediate level, which was affected by many factors. Among them, job satisfaction was positively correlated with the intention to stay of all occupational categories, and the influencing factors of different occupational categories have some variations.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)have emerged as the first-line small molecule drugs in many cancer therapies,exerting their effects by impeding aberrant cell growth and proliferation through the mod-ulation of tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling pathways.However,there exists a substantial inter-individual variability in the concentrations of certain TKIs and their metabolites,which may render patients with compromised immune function susceptible to diverse infections despite receiving theo-retically efficacious anticancer treatments,alongside other potential side effects or adverse reactions.Therefore,an urgent need exists for an up-to-date review concerning the biological matrices relevant to bioanalysis and the sampling methods,clinical pharmacokinetics,and therapeutic drug monitoring of different TKIs.This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in pretreatment methods,such as protein precipitation(PPT),liquid-liquid extraction(LLE),solid-phase extraction(SPE),micro-SPE(p-SPE),magnetic SPE(MSPE),and vortex-assisted dispersive SPE(VA-DSPE)achieved since 2017.It also highlights the latest analysis techniques such as newly developed high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS)methods,capillary electro-phoresis(CE),gas chromatography(GC),supercritical fluid chromatography(SFC)procedures,surface plasmon resonance(SPR)assays as well as novel nanoprobes-based biosensing techniques.In addition,a comparison is made between the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches while pre-senting critical challenges and prospects in pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring.

Anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of clinic application, in which the star molecules have always been the hotspot of modern drug research, but they are limited by the solubility, stability, targeting, bioactivity or toxicity of the monomer components of traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules and other pharmacokinetic problems, which hinders the traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor star molecules for further clinical translation and application. Currently, the nanosystems prepared by supramolecular technologies such as molecular self-assembly and nanomaterial encapsulation have broader application prospects in improving the anti-tumor effect of active components of traditional Chinese medicine, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad. In this paper, we systematically review the research progress in preparation of supramolecular nano-systems from anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine, and summarize the two major categories and ten small classes of carrier-free and carrier-based supramolecular nanosystems and their research cases, and the future development direction is put forward. The purpose of this paper is to provide reference for the research and clinical transformation of using supramolecular technology to improve the clinical application of anti-tumor star molecule of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To analyze the immunological characteristics and antibody changes of patients infected with the Omicron BA.1 and evaluate the possibility of secondary infection. Methods: A total of 104 patients infected with Omicron BA.1 in the Jinnan District of Tianjin from January 8 to February 2, 2022, were included in the study. The control group and case group were matched 1∶1 based on age, sex and vaccination status. Serum was collected from the case group and control group at 3, 6 and 9 months after infection. The serum levels of interleukin4 (IL-4), IL-5 and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), as well as the positive rates of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2, were detected by ELISA. Results: The highest concentration of IFN-γ in the case group at 6 months after infection was 145.4 pg/ml, followed by a decrease in concentration. The concentrations of IL-4 and IL-5 began to decrease at 6 months after infection (all P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the IgG2 positive rate between the case group and the control group at 6 months after BA.1 infection. However, at 9 months, there was a significant decrease compared to the control group (P=0.003). The ratio of IFN-γ/IL4 at 3 months after infection in the case group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the ratio between the case group and the control group at 9 months after infection. Conclusion: The cellular immune function has been impaired at 3 months after infection with BA.1, and the specific cellular immune and humoral immune functions decrease significantly after 6 months, and the risk of secondary infection increases.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and related factors of norovirus in Guangxi from 2015 to 2020, and to provide scientific recommendations for norovirus prevention and control. Methods The foodborne diseases surveillance data were collected from 11 sentinel hospitals through the National Foodborne Disease Monitoring and Reporting System from 2015 to 2020. R software with version 4.0.3 was used for descriptive and statistical analysis, including epidemic curve, chi-square test, and trend chi-square and so on. Logistic regression was used to analyze norovirus-related factors, OR values and 95% confidence intervals were calculated respectively with the statistical test level of P<0.05. Results There were 1 008 norovirus cases detected, with a detection rate of 12.75% (1 008/7 903). Children with age less than 5 years (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.13-1.82) and patients at age 20-45 (OR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.13-1.87) were high risk population. The detection rate was higher in autumn (OR=1.29, 95%CI: 1.08-1.53) but lower in summer (OR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.55-0.80). In addition, the tourist area (Guilin City) presented a higher detection rate than other areas (OR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.10-1.80). Aquatic products (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.03-1.91), meat and dairy products (OR=1.31, 95%CI: 1.06-1.61) were high-risk foods for norovirus infection. The prevention and control policies of COVID-19 can reduce the possibility of norovirus by 61% (OR=0.39, 95%CI: 0.31-0.49) showed a declining trend (Trend χ2=85.33, P<0.001). In addition, prolonged visit time can lead to 19%-23% decrease in the detection rate of norovirus (OR24-48 hours=0.81, 95%CI: 0.70-0.95; OR>48 hours=0.77, 95%CI: 0.63-0.93). Conclusions　The epidemic of norovirus presented seasonal and regional distribution in Guangxi with a declining detection rate trend in diarrhea patients during recent 6 years. Young children were high-risk population in infection norovirus. The intake of seafood can increase the risk of norovirus infection. The prevention and control policies of COVID-19 can sharply decrease the possibility of infection norovirus. The monitoring of key foods such as seafood should be strengthened, and the early screening of suspected cases should be taken. The norovirus monitoring should be improved to ensure the health of the population.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the epidemiological characteristics (season, age, gender, mixed infection and clinical manifestations, etc.) of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection in children in Hainan Province, so as to provide epidemiological evidence-based medical basis for the prevention and control of MP infection in children in Hainan Province. Methods　The serum IgM antibodies of MP, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia pneumoniae, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Q fever Rickettsia, parainfluenza virus, influenza A virus and influenza B virus in children with respiratory tract infections (RTIs) who were hospitalized in pediatrics of many hospitals in Hainan Province from March 2012 to February 2020 were detected by indirect immunofluorescence method. The positive serum MP-IgM antibody was defined as MP infection. The epidemiological and clinical data of MP infected cases were analyzed retrospectively. Results　From March, 2012 to February, 2020, a total of 35 731 qualified pediatric inpatients with RTIs in many hospitals in Hainan Province were tested for serum MP-IgM with the total positive rate of 39.12% (13 978/35 731). The yearly positive rates of MP-IgM from 2012 to 2020 were 48.39%, 56.23%, 56.62%, 47.04%, 29.71%, 24.14%, 47.55%, 36.84% and 24.46% respectively. The positive rates of MP-IgM in 2013 and 2014 were significantly higher than those in other years (P<0.05). The positive rate of MP-IgM in summer in Hainan Province was the highest (41.34%) and the lowest in winter (35.77%) (P<0.05). MP infection occurred in all age groups, the positive rate of MP-IgM in children of preschool (51.80%) was significantly higher than that in other age groups (P<0.01), and the positive rate of MP IgM in children of infancy (15.36%) was lower than that in other age groups (P<0.01). The positive rate of MP-IgM in female was 44.77%, which was significantly higher than that in male (35.83%) (P<0.05). MP infection combined with positive IgM of another pathogen accounted for 32.63% (4 561 cases), positive IgM of another two pathogens accounted for 1.26% (176 cases). MP infection was mostly found in pneumonia (68.73%), and the main clinical symptoms were cough (84.72%), fever (51.01%) and wheezing (3.16%). Conclusions　MP is an important pathogen of respiratory tract infection in children in Hainan Province, and infection is more common in children in early school age and early childhood. Mp-specific tests should be performed to identify the pathogen in children suspected of MP infection. In the high incidence season, health education should be strengthened in kindergartens, schools and other places to prevent respiratory tract infection.

ObjectiveIn the past， many studies have reported the mode of colorectal cancer（CRC） metastasis， but there is still a lack of research based on long-term follow-up and death as the end point to summarize the location， mode and related survival data of CRC metastasis. MethodsThe data of 373 dead patients with colorectal cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were reviewed， and the location， mode， incidence and survival data of tumor metastasis were statistically analyzed. Results334 patients （89.5%） died of tumor related death. The liver metastasis rate was 51.5%， the lung metastasis rate was 40.4%， and the peritoneal metastasis rate was 55.7%. The number of patients with liver， lung or peritoneal metastasis only was 27 （8%）， 21 （6.3%） and 63 （18.9%） respectively. The prognosis of patients with simple lung metastasis was better （P<0.01）. There were 66 patients （19.7%） with simultaneous metastasis of liver， lung and peritoneum， and the prognosis was the worst （P<0.01）. ConclusionNot all dead colorectal cancer patients have simultaneous metastasis of liver， lung and peritoneum. There are differences in the location and mode of metastasis in different patients， which is related to survival.
