The differences in chemical quality characteristics between Xinjiang Rehmannia glutinosa and R. glutinosa were analyzed to provide a theoretical basis for the introduction and quality control of R. glutinosa. In this study, the high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) fingerprints of 6 batches of Xinjiang R. glutinosa and 10 batches of R. glutinosa samples were established. The content of iridoid glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides, monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides in Xinjiang R. glutinosa and R. glutinosa was determined by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection(HPLC-DAD), high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection(HPLC-ELSD), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis). The determination results were analyzed with by chemical pattern recognition and entropy weight TOPSIS method. The results showed that there were 19 common peaks in the HPLC fingerprints of the 16 batches of R. glutinosa, and catalpol, aucubin, rehmannioside D, rehmannioside A, hydroxytyrosol, leonuride, salidroside, cistanoside A, and verbascoside were identified. Hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA) and principal component analysis(PCA) showed that Qinyang R. glutinosa, Mengzhou R. glutinosa, and Xinjiang R. glutinosa were grouped into three different categories, and eight common components causing the chemical quality difference between Xinjiang R. glutinosa and R. glutinosa in Mengzhou and Qinyang of Henan province were screened out by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA). The results of content determination showed that there were glucose, sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, polysaccharides, and nine glycosides in Xinjiang R. glutinosa and R. glutinosa samples, and the content of catalpol, rehmannioside A, leonuride, cistanoside A, verbascoside, sucrose, and glucose was significantly different between Xinjiang R. glutinosa and R. glutinosa. The analysis with entropy weight TOPSIS method showed that the comprehensive quality of R. glutinosa in Mengzhou and Qinyang of Henan province was better than that of Xinjiang R. glutinosa. In conclusion, the types of main chemical components of R. glutinosa and Xinjiang R. glutinosa were the same, but their content was different. The chemical quality of R. glutinosa was better than Xinjiang R. glutinosa, and other components in R. glutinosa from two producing areas and their effects need further study.

ObjectiveTo analyze the evolutionary characteristics and genetic variations of the HA (hemagglutinin) and NA (neuraminidase) genes of influenza A(H1N1) viruses in Shanghai during 2024, to investigate their transmission patterns, and to evaluate their potential impact on vaccine effectiveness. MethodsFrom January to October 2024, throat swab specimens were collected from influenza like illness (ILI) patients at 4 hospitals in Shanghai. Real-time fluorescence ploymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for virus detection and isolation of H1N1 influenza viruses. Forty influenza A(H1N1) virus strains were sequenced using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, followed by phylogenetic analyses, genetic distance analysis, and amino acid variation analyses of HA and NA genes. ResultsPhylogenetic tree of the HA and NA genes revealed that the 40 influenza A(H1N1) virus strains circulating in Shanghai in 2024 exhibited no significant geographic clustering, with a broad origin of strains and complex transmission chains. Genetic distance analyses demonstrated that the average intra-group genetic distances of HA and NA genes among the Shanghai strains were 0.005 1±0.000 6 and 0.004 6±0.000 6, respectively, which were comparable to or higher than those observed in global surveillance strains. Both HA and NA genes displayed frequent mutations. Compared to the 2023‒2024 and 2024‒2025 Northern Hemisphere A(H1N1) vaccine strains (WHO-recommended), the HA proteins of 40 Shanghai strains exhibited amino acid substitutions at positions 120, 137, 142, 169, 216, 223, 260, 277, 356 and 451, with critical mutations at positions 137 and 142 located within the Ca2 antigenic determinant. Furthermore, mutations in the NA protein were observed at positions 13, 50, 200, 257, 264, 339 and 382. ConclusionThe genetic background of the 2024 Shanghai influenza A(H1N1) virus strains is complex and diverse, and antigenic variation may affect vaccine effectiveness. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance genomic surveillance of influenza viruses, evaluate vaccine suitability, and implement more targeted prevention and control strategies against imported influenza viruses.

Objective To analyze the effect of Callicarpa nudiflora on wound healing and phos-phatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/AKT/mTOR)path-way by regulating M2 macrophage polarization in rats with diabetic foot ulcer.Methods A total of 40 rats were selected,with 10 rats in control group(topical application of saline),and the remaining 30 were used to establish rat model of diabetic foot ulcer.Ultimately,27 rats were successfully mod-eled and divided into model group(topical application of saline),Callicarpa nudiflora group(topi-cal application of Callicarpa nudiflora),and Callicarpa nudiflora combined with inhibitor group(topical application of Callicarpa nudiflora combined with CD206 inhibitor,a marker protein of M2 macrophages),with 9 rats in each group.The wound healing rate,levels of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),relative expression levels of induc-ible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),CD16/32,CD206,PI3K,AKT and mTOR as well as mRNA ex-pression levels of PI3K,AKT and mTOR were compared among groups.Results On the 3rd,7th and 14th days after intervention,compared with the control group,the wound healing rate,VEGF,bFGF,relative expression level of CD206,relative expression of PI3K,AKT and mTOR at mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased while the relative expression levels of iNOS and CD16/32 were significantly increased in all other groups(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,the Callicarpa nudiflora group and the Callicarpa nudiflora combined with inhibitor group showed significant increased wound healing rate,VEGF,bFGF,relative expression level of CD206,and relative expression of PI3K,AKT and mTOR at mRNA and protein levels,and significant de-creased relative expression levels of iNOS and CD16/32(P＜0.05);compared with the Callicarpa nudiflora group,the Callicarpa nudiflora combined with inhibitor group showed significant decreased wound healing rate,VEGF,bFGF,relative expression level of CD206,and relative expression of PI3K,AKT and mTOR at mRNA and protein levels,and significant increased relative expression levels of iNOS and CD16/32(P＜0.05).Conclusion Callicarpa nudiflora can promote M2 mac-rophage polarization,increase wound healing rate and levels of VEGF and bFGF in rats with diabetic foot ulcer,and activate the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

Morita therapy has been bom for more than 100 years.Inpatient Morita therapy is highly oper-able and easy to master.It can improve many refractory neuroses through four-stage treatment.But more neuroses are treated in outpatient clinics,and Morita therapy cannot be used in hospitalized patients.Therefore,the formula-tion of expert opinions on outpatient operations is particularly important.This paper is based on domestic and for-eign references,and after many discussions by domestic Morita therapy experts,and then drew up the first version of the expert opinions on operation of outpatient Morita therapy.Meanwhile the operation rule of Morita therapy in three stages of outpatient treatment was formulated:in the etiological analysis stage,under the theoretical guidance of Morita therapy,analyze the pathogenic factors,to improve treatment compliance and reduce resistance;during the operating stage,guide patients to engage in constructive and meaningful actions,realizing the achievement of letting nature take its course principle;in the cultivating character and enriching life stage,pay attention to positive infor-mation,expanding the scope and content of actions,improving the ability to adapt to complex life,and preventing recurrence caused by insufficient abilities.It will lay a foundation for the promotion of Morita therapy in domestic outpatient clinics,so that more patients with neurosis and other psychological diseases could receive characteristic Morita therapy treatment in outpatient clinics.

This article summarizes and organizes relevant publications in journals, along with a review of medical history, systematically summarizing the development process of dental alveolar surgery in China. The initial establishment phase (1935—1952) marked the starting point of Chinese Alveolar Surgery. Despite the impact of wars, it laid the foundation for subsequent research and practice. During the early development phase (1953—1966), the "Chinese Journal of Stomatology" was founded, which promoted the development of Alveolar Surgery. Research focused on tooth extraction methods and complications. Tooth Transplantation and Preprosthetic Surgery gradually began to take off. The stagnant phase (1967—1977) occurred due to the interruption of international exchanges, leading to an almost complete halt in the development of Alveolar Surgery. Entering the rapid catch-up phase (1978—1985), Alveolar Surgery scholars in China began striving to overcome the stagnation of the previous decade. While some progress was made, no significant innovative achievements emerged. In the scientific development phase (1986—2010), clinical research, basic experiments, and paper writing in modern Chinese Alveolar Surgery began to adhere to scientific standards with the rise of experimental medicine. The exploration and innovation stage (2011—2023) is the current development phase, during which Chinese Aveolar Surgery has reached its peak, making substantial progress in technology, clinical practices, and basic research, gradually reaching or even surpassing international advanced levels. Looking back at the development history in China, we can find the wisdom and hard work of the older generation of Alveolar Surgery scholars. However, contemporary challenges and issues, such as standardizing technology, promoting clinical practices, and talent cultivation, need to be addressed by present-day Alveolar Surgery professionals as they forge ahead.

Objective:Analyze the impact of smoking on the mortality and life expectancy of residents in Tianjin in 2019.Methods:Use mortality case-control study method to collect all cause of death cases of residents in Tianjin in 2019 for analysis. After adjusting for the 5-years-old age group, education level, and marital status, the smoking attributed deaths from different diseases of different genders, smoking attributed deaths in different age groups, and their impact on life expectancy were analyzed.Results:The total number of deaths in 2019 was 75 254, with 42 201 males (56.1%). Among male deaths, 3 215 (9.9%) were attributed to smoking, of which 2 157 (50.2%) lung cancer deaths were attributed to smoking; The risk of lung cancer death among smokers was 3.075 times higher than that of non-smokers (95% CI: 2.812-3.364); Among the 33 053 female deaths (43.9%), 1 396 (5.8%) were caused by smoking, with 744 (29.1%) lung cancer deaths attributed to smoking. The age group with the highest number of deaths attributed to smoking for women was the 75-<80 years old age group, followed by the 70-<75 and 80-<85 years old age groups. The age group with the highest proportion of deaths attributed to smoking for men was the 55-<60 years old age group. In addition, smoking accounts for more than 60% of deaths in the 60-<65, 45-<50, 55-<60, and 65-<70 years old age groups. In 2019, the loss of life expectancy attributed to smoking deaths among all residents in Tianjin was 1.13 years, with a loss of 1.15 years for males and 0.57 years for females. The expected life expectancy excluding deaths caused by smoking was 82.92 years, 80.77 years for males and 84.61 years for females. Conclusions:Smoking remains one of the important risk factors for death among residents. Promoting effective measures to reduce smoking rates is an effective way to increase life expectancy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of irreversible electroporation in focal ablation of localized prostate cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 128 patients with localized prostate cancer treated with irreversible electroporation from August 2019 to September 2023 at Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Dongfang Hospital of Tongji University, were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 68 (62, 75) years. The median PSA was 8.64 (5.83, 12.57) ng/ml. Gleason score was 6 in 57 cases, 7 in 39 cases, and greater than 7 in 19 cases. There were 4 cases of T 1c, 69 cases of T 2a, 27 cases of T 2b, and 28 cases of T 2c. No lymph node or distant metastasis was seen in preoperative examination. All patients had no preoperative urinary retention or urinary incontinence. Irreversible electroporation treatment was administered under general anesthesia with patients in the lithotomy position. A transrectal ultrasound probe was used to measure prostate lesion size, determining the type and number of electrode needles. Electrode needles were strategically positioned around the targeted lesion. The distance between each pair of needles used for ablation ranged from 0.5 to 2.0 cm. The system automatically generated treatment parameters, including voltage, current, and the number of pulses, with each pulse cycle lasting approximately 5 minutes. After treatment, the needles were removed, gauze was applied for 1 minute. The urethra was then irrigated with a painless iodine solution diluted 1∶1 with 0.9% saline, followed by the insertion of a urinary catheter. Treatment efficacy and adverse reactions were documented. Biochemical recurrence was defined as a PSA increase of over 2 ng/ml from the post-treatment nadir; imaging recurrence was identified by abnormal lesions on MRI or contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Results:All 128 surgeries were successfully completed. At 6 months postoperatively, 116 cases were followed. Tne median PSA was 1.58 (0.56, .95) ng/ml, which was 82.22% (65.37%, 93.33%) lower than preoperative level( P<0.01). Five patients (4.31%) had biochemical recurrence, and MRI or contrast-enhanced ultrasound examinations were negative, 1 patient underwent radical prostatectomy with pathology of prostate cancer, and the remaining 4 were continued to be followed up. Ninety-eight patients underwent MRI or contrast-enhanced ultrasound review, including 6 patients (6.12%) detected imaging recurrence, of which 2 patients underwent radical prostatectomy with pathology of prostate cancer, and the remaining 4 underwent endocrine therapy. The postoperative continence rate was 98.28%, and 8 patients (6.89%) had complications of class II. Conclusions:Irreversible electroporation for focal treatment of localized prostate cancer has shown favorable results in terms of tumor control, safety and urinary continence.

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.

Objective:To analyze the reinfection rates in people previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities (first infected with Delta/B.1.617.2 variant), and Anyang city (first infected with Omicron/BA.1.1 variant) in January 2022 and the population characteristics, and compare the differences in antibody levels among different populations.Methods:Serum samples were collected from 371 previously infected, 134 reinfected and 19 uninfected people for IgG antibody detection. Among them, serum samples from 45 previously infected, 44 reinfected and 19 uninfected people were tested with different novel coronavirus variants (early original strain, BA.5.2 variant, XBB.1.5 variant) for neutralizing antibody detection.Results:The rate of reinfection was 32.82% (85/259) in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities, and 19.92% (49/246) in Anyang city. The IgG antibody level in reinfected people was higher than that in previously infected and uninfected people ( P<0.05). The IgG antibody level in uninfected group was higher in people vaccinated within three months than in those vaccinated six months ago ( P<0.05). The IgG antibody level in the group receiving four doses of vaccine was higher than that in the group receiving three doses of vaccine ( P<0.05). The results of true virus neutralization antibody detection showed that in the Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cases, the level of neutralization antibody against the early original strain was higher than those against the BA.5.2 variant and the XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05), and the level of neutralizing antibody against BA.5.2 variant was higher than that against XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05). In Anyang city cases, the level of neutralizing antibody against the early original strain was higher than those against BA.5.2 variant and XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05); in the reinfected population, the level of neutralizing antibody against the early original strain was higher than that against the XBB.1.5 variant ( P<0.05). In addition, the levels of all neutralizing antibodies in both previously infected and reinfected people were higher than those in uninfected people ( P<0.05). The level of neutralizing antibody in the infected population in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities was higher than that in the infected population in Anyang city and in uninfected population ( P<0.05). The levels of antibodies against BA.5.2 and anti-XBB.1.5 variants in infected people in Zhengzhou and Yuzhou cities were higher than those in uninfected people ( P<0.05). The level of neutralizing antibody against BA.5.2 variants in the previously infected population in Anyang city was higher than that in the uninfected population ( P<0.05), and the level of neutralizing antibody against XBB.1.5 variants in the infected population in Anyang city was higher than that in the uninfected population ( P<0.05). Conclusions:After infection with SARS-CoV-2, the neutralizing antibodies produced in the human body have a certain cross-protection effect on other variants, but the antibody level will gradually decrease over time. Protection from a previous early SARS-CoV-2 variants infection against the current main circulating Omicron variants (such as XBB variants) is low, and the immunity conferred by pervious infection or booster vaccination may not be able to provide sufficient protection against new variants.
