Objective To analyze the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital in the past 7 years,and to provide reference for clinical treatment and prevention and control strategies of fun-gal infection.Methods The fungal data and clinical data of related patients isolated from clinical samples in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from early January 2018 to the end of May 2024 were selected,and the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital were identified and described through multi-angle statistical analysis.Results A total of 4 479 patients with filamentous fungal infection were en-rolled.The proportion of male patients[57.5％(2 576/4 479)]was higher than that of female patients[42.5％(1 903/4 143)],mainly distributed in internal medicine,Intensive Care Unit(ICU)and emergency de-partment,among which internal medicine accounted for the highest proportion[50.0％(2 241/4 479)].About 90.0％of the specimens were from the lower respiratory tract,in addition to specimens from skin and soft tis-sue,tissue,ear and blood culture.In terms of seasonal distribution,there are more patients in winter.The fun-gi were mainly composed of Aspergillus,Mucor,Cerdosporium,Fusarium and Penicillium,among which As-pergillus was the most abundant,accounting for 74.6％of the total.Aspergillus fumigatus was the most a-bundant Aspergillus,accounting for 42.5％of the total Aspergillus(1 418/3 340).Among the related infec-tions caused by mold,Aspergillus was the most common in the lower respiratory tract,accounting for 76.8％.Among them,Aspergillus fumigatus accounted for the highest proportion(33.6％).98.6％of the molds infected the ear were Aspergillus,of which Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus were the most common.Skin infections are mainly caused by Sporothrix schenckii,Trichophyton rubrum,Microsporum ca-nis.The results of in vitro drug sensitivity test showed that the four common Aspergillus isolated in this hos-pital were sensitive to voriconazole,and amphotericin B had better antifungal activity against Mucorales in vitro.Conclusion Based on the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infections in this hospital,it is recommended that special attention be paid to the admission of patients in the respiratory department during the peak infection period in autumn and winter.In the treatment of fungal infections in different regions and on different body parts,attention should be paid to the differences in the distribution of bacterial species.

ObjectiveTo screen and evaluate the antidepressant compounds of Curcumae Rhizoma， and explore its mechanism of regulating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2（Nrf2）/glutathione（GSH） peroxidase 4（GPX4）/GSH pathway from an antioxidant perspective. MethodsThe antioxidant activities in vitro of 11 characteristic components from Curcumae Rhizoma， including curcumol， curgerenone， curdione， curzerene， curcumenol， curcumenone， dehydrocurdione， isocurcumenol， furanodienone， furanodiene and zederone， were detected using 1，1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH） and 2，2'-azinobis-（3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid） diammonium salt（ABTS） radical scavenging assays. The depression in Drosophila melanogaster was induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress（CUMS）， and W1118 wild-type male D. melanogaster were randomly divided into blank group， model group， curcumol group， curgerenone group， curdione group， curzerene group， curcumenol group，curcumenone group， dehydrocurdione group， isocurcumenol group， furanodienone group， furanodiene group， zederone group and fluoxetine group（10 μmol·L^-1）. The treatment groups received a dose of 0.1 g·L^-1 of 11 characteristic components from Curcumae Rhizoma， while the blank and model groups were administered equivalent volumes of solvent. The sucrose preference test， climbing test and forced swimming test were used to evaluate the behavioral indicators of depression in D. melanogaster. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry（LC-MS） was used to detect the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine（5-HT） and dopamine（DA） in the brain of D. melanogaster， and the entropy weight method was used to comprehensively evaluate neurobehavioral and neurotransmitter indicators， resulting in the identification of the antidepressant active components of Curcumae Rhizoma. In addition， a mouse depression model was established by CUMS， and C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into blank group， model group， low and high dose groups of curzerene（0.5， 1 mg·kg^-1）， and fluoxetine group（10 mg·kg^-1） to confirm the antidepressant effect of the optimal active ingredient by behavioral analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the content of reactive oxygen species（ROS） in the hippocampus of mice from each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the contents of adenosine triphosphate（ATP）， superoxide dismutase（SOD）， catalase（CAT） and GSH. Transmission electron microscope（TEM） was used to observe the effect of curzerene on the ultrastructure of mitochondria in hippocampal tissue. Western blot was performed to determine the level of Nrf2 protein， and Nrf2 inhibitor（ML385） was used to verify the relationship between the antidepressant effect of curzerene and regulation of Nrf2. Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） was employed to detect the effect of curzerene on the mRNA expression level of GPX. ResultsIn vitro antioxidant experiments showed that curzerene and curgerenone exhibited the most significant ability to scavenge free radicals， and comprehensive evaluation results of entropy weight method indicated that curzerene stood out as the most promising active component. Compared with the blank group， the model group exhibited a significant decrease in sucrose preference coefficient and the number of times entering the open field center（P<0.01）， as well as a significant increase in immobility time in the forced swimming and tail suspension tests（P<0.01）， and the ROS content in hippocampus significantly elevated（P<0.01）， while the ATP content significantly reduced（P<0.01）. In the hippocampal neurons of the model group， mitochondrial cristae were disordered， with vacuolation of the inner membrane and severe damage. Nrf2 protein expression level in the model group was significantly decreased（P<0.05）， and the antioxidant enzymes SOD， CAT and GSH contents were also significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the gene expression levels of GPX1， GPX4 and GPX7 were significantly decreased（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the high-dose group of curzerene showed a significant increase in the sucrose preference coefficient and the number of times entering the open field center（P<0.05）， as well as a significant decrease in immobility time in the forced swimming and tail suspension tests（P<0.05， P<0.01）. The ROS content in the hippocampus of the high-dose group of curzerene was significantly reduced（P<0.01）， while the ATP content was significantly increased（P<0.05）. The neuronal mitochondrial damage in the hippocampus of the high-dose group of curzerene was alleviated， and the expression level of Nrf2 protein was significantly increased（P<0.05）. The Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed the improvement of curzerene on depressive behaviors in CUMS mice. The GSH content in the hippocampal neurons of the high-dose group of curzerene was significantly increased（P<0.01）， while there were no significant differences in SOD and CAT contents. The expression level of GPX4 gene in the hippocampal neurons of the high-dose group of curzerene was significantly increased（P<0.05）， while there were no significant differences in other GPX genes. ConclusionCurzerene is the best component with antidepressant activity in Curcumae Rhizoma. It may improve mitochondrial dysfunction to exert its antidepressant effect by regulating Nrf2 and its downstream GPX4/GSH pathway rather than CAT or SOD pathways.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of dual plasma molecular adsorption(DPMAS)sequential plasma exchange(PE)artificial liver mode in the treatment of liver failure(LF).Methods Eighty-five patients with LF receiving the artificial liver treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical Univer-sity from January 2020 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the study group(n=52)and the control group(n=33)according to the different treatment modes.The study group conduc-ted DPMAS sequential PE treatment and the control group underwent the PE treatment.The liver function[total bilirubin(TBIL),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),serum albumin(ALB),globulin(GLO),prealbumin(PAB)],Hb,coagulation function[platelet(PLT),plasminogen activity(PTA),international normalized ratio(INR),fibrinogen(FIB)]before treatment and at 24 h after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with before treatment,the levels of TBIL,ALT,AST,GLO and Hb after the first and second treatment in the two groups were decreased,ALB level in the control group and PAB level after the second time treatment was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with after the first treatment,the levels of TBIL,ALT and GLO after the second treatment in the two groups and the levels of AST and Hb in the study group were decreased,ALB level in the study group and PAB level in the two groups were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with before treatment,the levels of PLT and FIB after the first treatment in the two groups and INR level in the control group were decreased,PTA level in the control group was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with before treatment,the levels of PLT,INR and FIB after the second treatment in the two groups were decreased,PTA level was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with be-fore treatment,the levels of PLT,INR and FIB after the second treatment in the two groups were decreased,and PTA level was increased(P＜0.05).Compared with after the first treatment,PTA level after the second treatment in the study group was increased and INR level was decreased.Conclusion PE and DPMAS sequen-tial PE all could improve the liver function in the patients with LF,moreover the two times treatment has more significant effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of non-invasive ultrasound hemodynamic monito-ring in critically ill neonates in plateau area(altitude＞2 500 m).Methods A total of 205 critically ill neo-nates admitted to the NICU of Qamdo People's Hospital from September 2023 to December 2024 were ran-domly divided into the control group(n=105)and the observation group(n=100)using a random number table.There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline data between the two groups(P＞0.05).The observation group underwent noninvasive ultrasonic hemodynamic monitoring within 12 hours of admis-sion,measuring corrected flow time(FTC),stroke volume(SV),cardiac index,systemic vascular resistance index(SVRI),and myocardial contractility index(SMII).The control group received conventional monito-ring.The treatment was adjusted based on the results.The above parameters were remeasured 4-8 hours af-ter treatment adjustment.Hospital stay and 28 d survival rate were compared between the two groups.Multi-ple linear regression and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the factors influencing hospital stay and 28 d survival rate,respectively.Results Compared to pre-treatment levels,the observation group showed significant post-treatment decreases in FTC[(364.03±47.70)ms vs.(414.09±52.20)ms]and SVRI[(1 521.00±186.93)dyn·s·(cm5)-1·(m2)-1 vs.(1 720.00±347.31)dyn·s·(cm5)-1·(m2)-1].Con-versely,significant increases were observed in SV[(5.23±0.66)mL vs.(5.09±0.88)mL],cardiac index[(3.35±1.17)L·min-1·(m2)-1 vs.(3.19±0.99)L·min-1·(m2)-1],and SMII[(0.56±0.10)W/m2 vs.(0.51±0.14)W/m2](P＜0.05).The observation group had a significantly shorter hospital stay than the control group[(11.53±3.61)d vs.(13.83±2.56)d,P＜0.05].The 28 d survival rate was higher in the ob-servation group(100.0％vs.98.1％),although the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that both gestational age and cardiac index were negatively correla-ted with the duration of hospital stay.Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that birth weight was a sig-nificant factor influencing the 28 d survival rate(OR=4.600,95％CI:2.465-10.654,P=0.001).Conclusion Non-invasive ultrasonic hemodynamic monitoring can facilitate early identification of hemodynamic alterations in critically ill neonates in platean area,which could guide treatment and potentially reducing hospital stay.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect and mechanism of Hyssopus cuspidatus Boriss. extract (HCE) in ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma. METHODS: Components identification of HCE was conducted using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry. Mice were sensitized with OVA to establish asthmatic model, and dexamethasone was used as positive control. Respiratory reactivity, white cells counting in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and peripheral blood, cytokine level measurement in serum and lung tissue, and histologic examination were performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of HCE on asthma. Network pharmacology approach was used for mechanism prediction. Western blotting and untargeted lipidomics method were applied for mechanism validation. RESULTS: Fifty-two compounds were identified in HCE, predominantly terpenoids and flavonoids. HCE markedly reduced airway resistance, the eosinophil infiltration in lung tissues, and the levels of immunoglobulin E, interleukin-4, interleukin-5, and interleukin-13. Network pharmacology analysis suggested phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) may be key proteins of HCE in the treatment of allergic asthma. Western blot results indicated that the levels of phosphorylated PI3K, JNK, and P38 were downregulated in HCE-treated group. Moreover, HCE significantly upregulated the levels of ceramide and sphingomyelin and downregulated the level of phosphatidylcholine. CONCLUSION HCE inhibited allergic asthma via PI3K/JNK/P38 signaling pathway and lipid homeostasis regulation.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) -empowered interprofessional collaborative learning model in nursing psychology practical teaching for undergraduate nursing students.Methods:From November to December 2024, 109 second-year nursing students from the Xiangya School of Nursing, Central South University were selected as research subjects using convenience sampling. Two classes were randomly divided into an experimental group (55 students) and a control group (54 students) using a random draw method. Control group received a traditional teaching model based primarily on case discussion and scenario simulation teaching, while experimental group used the GAI-empowered interprofessional collaborative learning model on the basis of control group. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated using the Psychological Nursing Practice Competency Assessment Scale, Caring Ability Inventory (CAI), Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), and Satisfaction Survey Questionnaire.Results:After teaching, experimental group's practical course assessment scores, CAI total scores, and scores in each dimension were all higher than those of control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01). The RIPLS score of nursing students in experimental group after teaching was higher than that before teaching, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). 90.9% of nursing students supported the introduction of GAI into the classroom, and 90.9% of nursing students recognized the auxiliary role of GAI in achieving learning objectives, and the teaching satisfaction was 96.4%. Conclusions:This study validates the effectiveness of GAI-empowered interprofessional collaborative learning model in nursing psychology practical teaching for undergraduate nursing students, providing new ideas for nursing education reform.

The classical latent structure method does not consider the influence of primary and secondary symptoms,syndromes and symptoms in the analysis and modeling of syndromes.In this paper,based on the data of damp-heat in intestine and stomach syndrome involving 1087 diabetic patients,the classical latent structure analysis was used to obtain the quantitative syndrome diagnostic rules.Then,using Constrained Latent Tree Analysis(CLTA),the quantitative syndrome diagnostic rules containing primary and secondary symptoms were obtained as follows,primary symptoms include halitosis(2.3),yellow tongue coating(2),abdominal distension(2.3),greasy tongue coating(2.1),loose stool or loose stool(1.5),red tongue(1.3),smooth pulse(1.4).Secondary symptoms include epigastric distension(1.1).Compared with the traditional latent structure analysis method,the rules established by CLTA are more compatible with the concept of differentiating primary and secondary symptoms and the common practice of TCM.The quantitative syndrome diagnostic rules of damp-heat in intestine and stomach syndrome constructed by the CLTA method have considerable objectivity in the modeling process.The diagnostic rules established were also compatible with the qualitative concept of TCM theory in stratifying primary and secondary symptoms.Finally,the diagnostic rules are obtained by logistic regression analysis,and the accuracy of the three rules is compared.The results show that the rule recognition accuracy obtained by CLTA is the highest.Therefore,the syndrome diagnostic rules of damp-heat in intestine and stomach obtained from the analysis of CLTA are in line with the constraint semantics of primary and secondary diseases and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective Compared with patients with insomnia,the clinical characteristics and polysomnography(PSG)results from patients with co-morbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea(COMISA)were analyzed.The analysis was conducted to investigate clinical manifestations,sleep physiological characteristics,and related risk factors of COMISA patients.Methods A total of 134 patients with insomnia were enrolled and divided into two groups based on whether their apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)was≥5 events/hour:the COMISA group(69 patients)and the insomnia-only group(65 patients).The COMISA group was further divided into a mild OSA subgroup of 41 cases and a moderate-to-severe OSA subgroup of 28 cases;and then into a mild insomnia subgroup of 37 cases and a moderate-to-severe insomnia subgroup of 32 cases.The demographic characteristics,Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),self-rating depression scale(SDS),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS)and PSG results were analyzed.Results Compared with the insomnia-only group,the COMISA group had a higher proportion of men,a higher age,a higher body mass index(BMI),a higher proportion of smoking,a higher proportion of snoring,a lower average blood oxygen saturation and lowest blood oxygen saturation,a higher proportion of N2 stage,and a lower proportion of N3 stage and R stage(P<0.05).Compared with the mild OSA subgroup,the moderate-to-severe OSA subgroup had a higher BMI index,a higher proportion of snoring,a higher SAS score,a lower average blood oxygen saturation and lowest blood oxygen saturation,a higher proportion of N1 stage,and a lower proportion of N3 stage(P<0.05).Compared with the subgroup of mild insomnia,the subgroup of moderate-to-severe insomnia in the COMISA group had a higher proportion of hypnotic drug use(P<0.01),but there was no significant difference between the two groups in PSG results(P>0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that older age(OR=1.07,P<0.01)and higher BMI(OR=1.41,P<0.01)were risk factors for the co-occurrence of OSA in insomnia patients.Conclusion Patients with COMISA have worse objective sleep quality at night than those with insomnia-only,and patients with more severe OSA have poorer objective sleep quality.In clinical practice,it is important to be aware of the risk of comorbid OSA for patients with insomnia who are older and have a higher BMI.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of positive serum specific antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP).Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Sinomed,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases were searched for studies on the detection of MPP based on antibodies from the establishment of the database to March 31,2023.After literature screening and data extraction,STATA 16.0 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results A total of 9 literatures and 2 148 clinical samples were included.The combined sensitivities[M(95%CI)]of particle agglutination assay(PA)and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)were 50%(31～69)and 88%(85～90),and the combined specificities[M(95%CI)]were 88%(76～95)and 88%(62～97).The combined diagnostic odds ratio(DOR)[M(95%CI)]were 5.61(3.30～9.53)and 43.82(12.78～150.19),and the summary receiver operating characteristic curve(SROC)area under the curve(AUC)were 0.80 and 0.88,respectively.Conclusion Serum MP specific antibody detection can be used for diagnosis and screening of children MPP,but needs to be combined with clinical symptoms improve the accuracy of the diagnosis.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review of the related research on the maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women after assisted reproductive technology (ART), summarize the research status of maternal-fetal attachment, and provide reference for future research prospects.Methods:A search was conducted for studies published in PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, from the date of database construction to January 24, 2024. The results of the literature were screened, extracted, and summarized.Results:A total of 15 studies were included. Among them, 14 observational studies reported that the overall status of maternal-fetal attachment of ART pregnant women was in good condition, but the data sources of domestic research were insufficient. Three evaluation tools were used in 15 articles. The related factors were summarized as demographic factors (age and personality traits), pregnancy-related factors (such as conception method, gestational age, history of infertility, history of miscarriage, etc), and psychosocial factors (such as anxiety, depression, conflicts, attitudes towards childbirth, acceptance of pregnancy, social support, marital satisfaction, etc). Four studies put forward suggestions or conducted intervention studies on improving maternal-fetal attachment of ART pregnant women.Conclusions:There is a lack of attention to the maternal-fetal attachment of ART pregnant women in China. Due to the complexity and diversity of its influencing factors, we should deeply explore the characteristics of maternal-fetal attachment development of ART pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy, and carry out more high-quality research. At the same time, we should pay attention to and carry out early screening of maternal-fetal attachment disorders, formulate targeted interventions, so as to promote the establishment of high-quality maternal-fetal attachment, and lay a solid foundation for future maternal-infant relationships.
