ObjectiveTo investigate the status of overlapping hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus （HCV） infection and the serological characteristics of such patients. MethodsA total of 8 637 patients with HCV infection who were hospitalized from January 1， 2010 to December 31， 2020 and had complete data of HBV serological markers were enrolled， and the composition ratio of patients with overlapping HBV serological markers was analyzed among the patients with HCV infection. The patients were divided into groups based on age and year of birth， and serological characteristics were analyzed， and the distribution of HBV-related serological characteristics were analyzed across different HCV genotypes. ResultsThe patients with HCV/HBV overlapping infection accounted for 5.85%， and the patients with previous HBV infection accounted for 48.10%； the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 14.67%， while the patients with a lack of protective immunity against HBV accounted for 31.39%. The patients were divided into groups based on age： in the 0 — 17 years group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 61.41% （304 patients）； the 18 — 44 years group was mainly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （698 patients， 37.31%）， the 45 — 59 years group was predominantly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （1 945 patients， 50.38%）， and the ≥60 years group was also predominantly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （1 486 patients， 61.66%）. The patients were divided into groups based on the year of birth： in the pre-1992 group， the patients with previous HBV infection accounted for 51.63% （4 112 patients）； in the 1992 — 2005 group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 54.72% （168 patients）； in the post-2005 group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 64.38% （235 patients）. In this study， 6 301 patients underwent HCV genotype testing： the patients with genotype 1b accounted for the highest proportion of 51.71% （3 258 patients）， followed by those with genotype 2a （1 769 patients， 28.07%）， genotype 3b （63 patients， 1.00%）， genotype 3a （10 patients， 0.16%）， genotype 4 （21 patients， 0.33%）， and genotype 6a （5 patients， 0.08%）. ConclusionWith the implementation of hepatitis B planned vaccination program in China， there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of patients with previous HBV infection among the patients with HCV/HBV overlapping infection， but there is still a relatively high proportion of patients with a lack of protective immunity against HBV.

Objective: To explore the early effects of birth weight at different gestational ages on blood pressure trajectory among primary school students, so as to provide evidence for incorporating gestational age birth weight into individualized early warning and intervention strategies for childhood hypertension. Methods: From May to November 2023, a purposeful sampling method was used to recruit 1 676 students in grade 1-3 from three primary schools in a certain urban district of Chongqing. Follow up assessments were conducted in May 2024(T1), November 2024(T2), and May 2025(T3). General demographic and birth related information were collected via self administered questionnaires, while height, weight and blood pressure were obtained through physical examinations. Linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the associations between birth weight at different gestational ages and blood pressure trajectories. Results: During the T1-T3 period, the systolic blood pressure of boys were 98.5 (93.0, 104.5 ),98.5 (93.5, 105.0), and 97.5 (92.5, 103.5)mmHg, respectively, while the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.5, 65.0), 61.5 ( 57.0 , 65.5), and 60.0 (56.0, 64.0)mmHg, respectively. For girls, the systolic blood pressure were 95.5 (90.0, 102.0),95.5 (90.5, 101.5), and 96.0 (90.5, 101.5)mmHg, respectively, and the diastolic blood pressure were 60.5 (56.0, 64.5 ),61.5 (57.5, 65.5), and 59.5 (56.0, 63.0)mmHg, respectively. Through Friedman test within both boys and girls, diostolic blood pressure were statistically significant across three measurements( χ 2=48.85，81.54，both P <0.01). The proportion of normal blood pressure increased , and the proportion of prehypertension and hypertension decreased with time( χ 2=39.72，25.62，both P < 0.01 ). Linear mixed effects model analysis revealed that after adjusting for age, sex, household income monthly, parental education, family history of hypertension and maternal pregnancy complications, large for gestational age had significantly higher trajectories of systolic ( β = 1.50) and diastolic( β =0.94) blood pressure compared to appropriate for gestational age(both P <0.01). Conclusion Large for gestational age is associated with elevated blood pressure trajectories during school age, and it may be considered as an early indicator for individualized screening and intervention for childhood hypertension.

Liver being substantial Yin and functional Yang maintain normal function of Qi， blood and meridians. In clinical practice， it is often found that pan-vascular lesions with atherosclerosis as the predominant pathological change often co-occur with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease（MAFLD）. MAFLD leads to increased risk and worse prognosis for many pan-vascular diseases， including cardiovascular disease. Dysregulation of energy homeostasis disrupts the hepatic homeostasis of body use， and representative drugs to improve metabolism， such as metformin， sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors， and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists， not only have a clear cardiovascular benefit， potential improvement of MAFLD has also been demonstrated. The liver stores blood and the heart pumps blood， and liver diseases affect the heart， that's why the unsmoothness of vessels appears. So the treatment should from the standpoint of liver， restoring liver function， soothing the liver and nourishing heart， activating blood and dredging meridian. It is of great significance to explore in depth the pathogenesis and treatment of pan-vascular lesions caused by MAFLD， and to restore the energy homeostasis by adjusting the balance of liver Yin and Yang.

Cardiometabolic disease is a clinical syndrome with a causal relationship between metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular damage. With its global incidence and related mortality rates continually rising， it has become a major health concern worldwide. The role of the gut microbiome and its metabolic products in cardiovascular metabolic health has received widespread attention， with gut microbiota dysbiosis considered a key factor in promoting the development of cardiometabolic disease. Dysbiosis disrupts the balance of the "heart-spleen-intestine" axis， leading to dysfunction of the spleen and intestines， which triggers metabolic disorders and accelerates the progression of cardiometabolic disease. Cardiac dysfunction can also negatively affect spleen and intestinal function， leading to imbalances in the heart and spleen， disharmony in Qi and blood， and exacerbating metabolic anomalies and further dysbiosis， thus forming a vicious cycle. From a modern biological perspective， the gut microbiome and its metabolic products can influence disease progression by modulating inflammatory responses and immune imbalances， leading to endothelial dysfunction and metabolic disorders， thereby increasing the risk of cardiometabolic disease. Additionally， the article proposes strategies for managing cardiometabolic disease by regulating the gut microbiome through a combination of Chinese and western medicine approaches. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） treatment starts from the gut microbiome， using the "heart-spleen-intestine" axis as a mediator to regulate cardiovascular metabolic health， highlighting the unique advantages of TCM in targeting the gut microbiome to treat cardiometabolic disease. This article takes the TCM theory of the "heart-spleen-intestine" axis as a starting point， discusses the pivotal role played by this axis in the connection between gut microbiome dysbiosis and the development of cardiometabolic disease， aiming to provide a new perspective for the integrated traditional Chinese and western medical research on cardiometabolic disease， offering scientific evidence and practical guidance to improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of human parvovirus B19(B19V)infection among college students,so as to provide reference for the development of blood donor screening strategies and blood supply policies.Meth-ods From March 2023 to February 2024,blood donor samples from college students in Changchun were retrospectively an-alyzed using the principle of random numbers,with samples taken 1 to 3 days per month.B19V IgG/IgM were detected by ELISA,and B19V DNA and viral load were measured by real-time quantitative PCR.Results Among 1 456 blood donor samples from college students,the positive rates for B19V IgG,IgM and DNA were 11.54%,0.34%and 2.68%,respec-tively.The viral load in 39 B19V DNA-positive samples ranged from 5.60×102 IU/mL to 9.10×106 IU/mL,with 28 samples(1.92%)having a viral load above 104 IU/mL.There were 11 samples(0.76%)that were positive for B19V DNA but neg-ative for IgG/IgM.Conclusion The college students have a low prevalence of past B19V infection,but a higher risk of in-fections and a higer proportion of acute infections with high viral loads in individuals who are]B19V IgG negative,presenting a risk of transmission through blood transfusion.Targeted blood safety monitoring is necessary for college students to track the prevalence of B19V DNA.

Objective To explore the immune mechanism of Tibetan medicine Twelve Flavors Yishou San in intervening with acute lung injury.Methods Construct a lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced acute lung injury rat model and treated it with Twelve Flavors Yishou San.The intervention effect of Twelve Flavors Yishou San on LPS induced acute lung injury was determined through lung pathological sections and blood gas analysis.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin(IL)-10 in rat's bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Flow cytometry was used to detect changes in immune cells in rat's bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,lungs,spleen and peripheral blood.Results LPS successfully induced an acute lung injury model in rats,and Twelve Flavors Yishou San could alleviate the exudation of inflammatory cells,elevated oxygen partial pressure in LPS induced acute lung injury to varying degrees.The ELISA results of rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed that compared with normal control group,the TNF-α level in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of rats with acute lung injury was increased and the IL-10 level was decreased,while the Twelve Flavors Yishou San could alleviate this effect.The results of flow cytometry showed that Twelve Flavors Yishou San could significantly reduce neutrophil infiltration in rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid,but had no significant effect on macrophages and adaptive immune response.Conclusion Twelve Flavors Yishou San can alleviate LPS induced acute lung injury by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration,providing an important experimental basis for fully understanding the therapeutic mechanism of Twelve Flavors Yishou San.

As the overweight and obese population is growing， the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea is rising， and most of the cases are complicated with coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. The two diseases affect each other and seriously endanger the patients' health， becoming a major public health problem of global concern. It is of great clinical importance to explore the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Researchers have explored the relationship between the two based on traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） theory and found that the two diseases belong to the TCM disease categories of chest impediment and snoring， respectively， and their co-morbidity is associated with the abnormal physiological functions of the heart and lungs. The failure of the heart to govern blood leads to the generation of blood stasis， and that of the lung to govern Qi movement leads to the generation of phlegm. The accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis in the chest causes chest impediment and snoring due to obstruction of the airway. This paper discusses the internal linkage between the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Chinese and Western medicine from the TCM theory of heart-lung correlation. Furthermore， this paper proposes the treatment principles of simultaneously treating the heart and lung and activating blood and resolving phlegm， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with obstructive sleep apnea.

Objective:To explore the role of a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with throm bospondin typeⅠmotifs-8(ADAMTS8) gene in lung adenocarcinoma and its mechanism.Methods:Selected lung adenocarcinoma data sets GSE75037 and GSE116959 and lung adenocarcinoma transcriptome data and clinical information from the TCGA database; useed R software to analyze differential genes in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and performed GO enrichment analysis and KEGG signal pathway enrichment for differential genes set analysis; analyzed the expression of ADAMTS8 gene in lung adenocarcinoma and its correlation with patient survival and prognosis; CCK-8 experiment detects the effect of ADAMTS8 overexpression or knockdown on the proliferation of A549 cells; Western blot detected ADAMTS8 overexpression or knockdown effect on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Results:The combined analysis found that 395 genes were up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma samples, and 716 genes were down-regulated; ADAMTS8 was under-expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and its expression level was related to tumor stage; low-expression of ADAMTS8 was associated with shorter survival time, poor prognosis, Cox regression analysis showed that ADAMTS8 can be used as an independent prognostic marker for patients with lung adenocarcinoma; CCK-8 results showed that overexpression of ADAMTS8 can inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells, knocking down ADAMTS8 can promote the proliferation of A549 cells ( P<0.05); Western blot results showed that after overexpression of ADAMTS8, the protein levels of β-catenin, cyclin D1 and c-Myc in cells were significantly reduced ( P<0.05), while knocking down ADAMTS8 could cause the protein levels of β-catenin, cyclin D1 and c-Myc in cells increased significantly ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ADAMTS8 is under-expressed in lung adenocarcinoma and can be used as an independent prognostic marker for patients. Overexpression of ADAMTS8 may inhibit the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells by inhibiting the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
