Objective To identify the key policies related to the maternal and child population in the 14th Five-Year Plan for Health and Development in each province(region,city)and to understand the policy priorities for different groups of women and chil-dren,providing a reference for the formulation of future maternal and child health policies.Methods Word frequency analysis,coding analysis,and matrix coding were conducted using Nvivo12 qualitative research software to interpret the maternal and child-related policies in 24 health and development plans.Results Health and development plans in all provinces(regions,cities)prioritize maternal and child health and focus on healthcare services(24)and medical services(22)for women and children.However,there is a relatively insufficient emphasis on creating a child-friendly environment,and related safeguard measures need further improvement.Conclusion Provinces(regions,cities),as well as healthcare institutions,should focus on the healthcare of women of childbearing age in future planning,prioritize the construction of a child-friendly environment,and gradually improve the safeguard system.It is important to explore characteristic safeguard measures for maternal and child health.

Objective To explore the relationship and internal path between activities of daily living(ADL),sleep quality and mental health of community elderly people in Shanghai.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among community residents aged 60 years and older seeing doctors in community health care center of five streets in Shanghai during Sept to Dec,2021 using convenience sampling.Activities of Daily Living(ADL),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale(K10)were adopted in the survey.Single factor analysis,correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.The effect relationship between the variables was tested using Bootstrap's mediated effects test.Results A total of 1 864 participants were included in the study.The average score was 15.53±4.47 for ADL,5.60±3.71 for PSQI and 15.50±6.28 for K10.The rate of ADL impairment,poor sleep quality,poor and very poor mental health of the elderly were 23.6%,27.3%,11.9%and 4.9%,respectively.ADL and sleep quality were all positively correlated with mental health(r=0.321,P＜0.001;r=0.466,P＜0.001);ADL was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.294,P＜0.001).Multiple linear results of factors influencing mental health showed that ADL(β= 0.457,95%CI:0.341-0.573),sleep quality(β =0.667,95%CI:0.598-0.737)and mental health were positively correlated(P＜0.001).Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between ADL and mental health(95%CI:0.078-0.124)with an effect size of 33.0%.Conclusion Sleep quality is a mediator between ADL and mental health among community elderly people.Improving ADL and sleep quality may improve mental health in the population.

Objective To study the expression of miR-205 and miR-367 in cutaneous malignant melanoma(CMM)tissue and their relationships with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.Methods The tumor tissues from 85 patients with CMM who were admitted to our hospital from May 2013 to December 2019 were selected as the CMM group,and the nevus tissue samples from 80 patients with benign pigmented nevi who were treated in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The expression level of miR-205 and miR-367 of two groups were detected by qRT-PCR.The clinical and pathological data of patients with CMM were collected,and the relationships between the expression of miR-205 and miR-367 and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier was used to draw the survival curves of patients 3 years after surgery,and the survival rate of patients was analyzed by Log-rank test.The influencing factors of prognosis was analyzed by COX proportional risk regression model.Results The expression level of miR-205 of patients in the CMM group was lower than that in the control group,and the expression level of miR-367 was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The proportions of patients with ulceration,high clinical stage,tumor invasion,low KPS score,thick primary lesion,high Clark grade,lymph node metastasis in the miR-205 low-expression group were higher than those in the miR-205 high-expression group(P<0.05),the proportions of patients with the above indexes in the miR-367 high-expression group were higher than those in the miR-367 low-expression group(P<0.05).Patietns were followed up for 3 years,with a median time of 28.3 months,and 1 case was lost to followed-up.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 3-year survival rate of patients in the miR-205 high-expression group was higher than that in the miR-205 low-expression group(P<0.05),and the 3-year survival rate of patients in the miR-367 low-expression group was higher than that in the miR-367 high-expression group(P<0.05).COX multivariate regression analysis showed that the high clinical stage,low KPS score,high Clark grade,lymph node metastasis,and high expression of miR-367 were the risk factors for prognosis of patients,while high expression of miR-205 was a protective factor(P<0.05).Conclusion Low expression of miR-205 and high expression of miR-367 in CMM tissue are associated with ulceration,high clinical stage,tumor invasion,low KPS score,thick primary lesion,high Clark grade,lymph node metastasis,and poor prognosis.These two indicators may serve as potential biomarkers for prognostic evaluation in CMM patients.

Acute liver injury (ALI) is one of the common severe diseases in clinic, which is characterized by redox imbalance and inflammatory storm. Untimely treatment can easily lead to liver failure and even death. Rosmarinic acid (RA) has been proved to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, but it is not clear how to protect ALI through antioxidation and inhibition of inflammation. Therefore, this study explored the therapeutic effect and molecular mechanism of RA on ALI through in vitro and in vivo experiments. In the mouse ALI model, the effects of RA on liver function and inflammatory indexes were studied, the pathological changes of liver were observed by HE, the effect of RA on reactive oxygen species in liver was detected by fluorescence method, and the level of F4/80 in liver tissue was detected by immunohistochemical method. The levels of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 (CASPASE-1) in liver tissue were measured by Western blot. All animal welfare and experimental procedures follow the rules of the Animal Ethics Committee of Southwest Minzu University. In vitro, human hepatoma cell line HepG2 was used to establish the model of oxidative damage induced by H₂O₂. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method. The level of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the supernatant was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the activity of lactatede hydrogenase (LDH) was detected by LDH kit, and the level of ROS was detected by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA labeling. The mRNA expression of Txnip, Nlrp3, Caspase 1, Il1β was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR), and the protein levels of nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (NRF2), TXNIP, NLRP3 and CASPASE-1 were measured by Western blot. The results showed that compared with the model group, the degree of liver swelling, tissue injury, liver function index in RA group were significantly lower than those in model group. And RA significantly attenuated the increases of ROS in liver tissue. The expression levels of TXNIP, NLRP3 and CASPASE-1 in liver tissue were significantly lower than those in model group. Additionally, RA inhibited the expressions of F4/80 and IL-1β. In vitro experiment, compared with model group, RA effectively inhibited the secretion of IL-1β and LDH. The level of ROS also decreased significantly. RA inhibited the mRNA expressions of Txnip, Caspase 1, Il1β. Furthermore, RA significantly increased the expression level of NRF2 protein in nucleus, and decreased the expression level of TXNIP and NLRP3 protein. Specifically, with the addition of ML385, the effect of RA on NRF2, TXNIP, NLRP3, CASPASE-1 protein expression was reversed. Collectively, these findings suggested that RA may inhibit the production of ROS by promoting NRF2 nuclear transfer, and then reduce the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory bodies by TXNIP, reduce cell death and inflammatory response to prevent the liver injury.

Objective To invesigate the feasibility of low radiation dose and low contrast dosage in triple-rule-out computed tomo-graphy angiography(TRO-CTA)on the 320-row detector CT.Methods A total of 120 patients who underwent CTA were prospec-tively selected.All patients were divided into control group(n=90)and experimental group(n=30).The control group employed standard-doses protocol of pulmonary CTA(120 kV tube voltage,45 mL contrast dosage),coronary CTA(120 kV,50-60 mL),and aortic CTA(120 kV,75 mL),while the experimental group received TRO-CTA with 100 kV and 70-80 mL.The peak time of contrast dosage at the pulmonary artery and aorta was measured by low-dose detection method in the experimental group,and the contrast examination was performed sequentially in the control group.Subjective scores and objective image quality of the pulmonary artery,coronary artery,and aorta in the experimental group and the control group were measured and compared,respectively.The effective dose(ED)between the two groups were recorded and compared.Independent samples t-test and Fisher exact probability were used to analyze the statistical differences between the above measures.Results There were no significant differences in CT values,con-trast-to-noise ratio(CNR),signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of pulmonary artery,coronary artery and aorta between the two groups(P＞0.05).The mean subjective scores of pulmonary artery,coronary artery and aorta segments in the two groups were not less than 3 points,meeting the requirement of clinical diagnosis.There was no statistical difference in subjective scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).There was statistically significant difference in ED between the two groups(P＜0.05).The ED of pulmonary artery,coronary artery,and aorta in the experimental group were 11.49％,13.33％,and 11.46％significantly lower than those in the control group,respec-tively.Conclusion It is feasible to obtain TRO-CTA images used by the low radiation dose and low contrast dosage on the 320-row detector CT,and radiation dose and contrast dosage can be reduced reasonably without alterations of TRO-CTA images quality in clinical practice.

Objective: To evaluate the household secondary attack rates of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and the associated factors. Methods: A COVID-19 outbreak caused by the Delta variant occurred in Nanjing in July 2021. A total of 235 cases with current addresses in Nanjing were reported from 171 households. The subjects in this study were selected from household close contact(s) of infected cases. The information on household index cases and their contacts were collected, and the household secondary attack rate (HSAR) and the risk factors were analyzed by the multi-factor logistic regression model. Results: A total of 234 cases of household close contacts and 64 household secondary cases were reported from 103 households, and the HSAR was 27.4% (64/234, 95%CI:22.0% to 33.4%). The proportions of household size for 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6 to 9 were 64.1% (66), 26.2% (27) and 9.7% (10), respectively. A total of 35 cases of household cluster outbreaks were reported (35/103, 34.0%). The number of the first case in the household (FCH) was 103 and males accounted for 27.2% (28 cases), with the median age (Q₁, Q₃) of 49 (9, 56). The number of household close contacts was 234 and males accounted for 59.0% (138 cases), with the median age (Q₁, Q₃) of 42 (20, 55) and the median exposure period (Q₁, Q₃) of 3 (1, 3) days. The multi-factor logistic regression model showed that the higher HSAR was observed in the FCH with the features of airport staff (OR=2.913, 95%CI:1.469-5.774), detection from home quarantine screening (OR=6.795, 95%CI:1.761-26.219) and detection from mass screening (OR=4.239, 95%CI:1.098-16.368). Meanwhile, higher HSAR was observed in cases with longer household exposure (OR=1.221, 95%CI:1.040-1.432), non-vaccination (OR=2.963, 95%CI:1.288-6.813) and incomplete vaccinations (OR=2.842, 95%CI:0.925-8.731). Conclusion: The generation interval of the Delta variant is shortened, and the ability of transmission within the household is enhanced. In the outbreak in Nanjing, the associated factors of HSAR are occupation, detection route, vaccination and exposure period.

Objective:The changes of serum inflammatory factors in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types were compared, and the characteristics and significance of inflammatory factors in COPD were discussed from the perspective of traditional Chinese and western medicine.Methods:A total of 100 patients with COPD who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from September 2021 to September 2022 were selected and divided into phlegm turbation obstructing lung group ( n=50) and lung and kidney qi deficiency group ( n=50) according to TCM syndrome types. Twenty healthy subjects in the same period were selected as control group. Serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and other inflammatory factors were compared in each group. Results:The MCP-1, IL-6, ESR, CRP, white blood cell count (WBC) and procalcitonin (PCT) of COPD patients in phlegm turbation obstructing lung group were significantly higher than those in lung and kidney qi deficiency group (all P<0.05). The WBC, MCP-1, MIP-1α, IL-6, ESR and CRP of COPD patients in the lung and kidney qi deficiency group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). In the phlegm turbation obstructing lung group, the MIP-1α, MCP-1, IL-6, ESR, CRP, WBC, and PCT were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with COPD have inflammatory reactions, and the inflammatory reactions of patients with phlegm turbation obstructing lung syndrome are more obvious than those with lung and kidney qi deficiency syndrome. The inflammatory factors MCP-1, MIP-1α, IL-6, ESR, CRP, WBC, PCT and other indicators could be used to judge the degree of COPD inflammation, which had certain clinical guiding significance for different syndrome types of COPD patients.

This study aimed to explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and reduced risk of readmission in patients having rheumatoid arthritis with hypoproteinemia(RA-H). A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 2 437 rheumatoid arthritis patients in the information system database of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from 2014 to 2021, and 476 of them were found to have hypoproteinemia. The patients were divided into TCM users and non-TCM users by propensity score matching. Exposure was defined as the use of oral Chinese patent medicine or herbal decoction for ≥1 month. Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the risk factors of clinical indicators of rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, the use of TCM during hospitalization was analyzed, and analysis of association rules was conducted to investigate the correlation between TCM, improvement of indicators and readmission of patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted to compare the readmission rate of TCM users and non-TCM users. It was found the readmission rate of RA-H patients was significantly higher than that of RA patients. By propensity score matching, 232 RA-H patients were divided into TCM group(116 cases) and non-TCM group(116 cases). Compared with the conditions in the non-TCM group, the readmission rate of the TCM group was lowered(P<0.01), and the readmission rate of middle-aged and elderly patients was higher than that of young patients(P<0.01). Old age was a risk factor for readmission of RA-H patients, while TCM, albumin(ALB) and total protein(TP) were the protective factors. During hospitalization, the TCMs used for RA-H patients were mainly divided into types of activating blood and resolving stasis, relaxing sinew and dredging collaterals, clearing heat and detoxifying, and invigorating spleen and resolving dampness. The improvement of rheumatoid factor(RF), immunoglobulin G(IgG), erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), C-reactive protein(CRP) and ALB was closely related to TCM. On the basis of western medicine treatment, the application of TCM could reduce the readmission rate of RA-H patients, and longer use of TCM indicated lower readmission rate.
