ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Yizhi Qingxin prescription improves mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease （AD） through regulating mitochondrial Ca²⁺ homeostasis and kinetic balance based on the protein kinase A （PKA）/calcineurin （CaN） signaling pathway. MethodsSixty three-month-old amyloid precursor protein （APP）/presenilin 1 （PS1） double transgenic mice were randomly divided into a model group， a donepezil group（0.65 mg·kg^-1）， a low-dose Yizhi Qingxin prescription group （YQF-L，2.6 g·kg^-1）， a medium-dose Yizhi Qingxin prescription group （YQF-M，5.2 g·kg^-1）， and a high-dose Yizhi Qingxin prescription group （YQF-H，10.4 g·kg^-1）， with 12 mice in each group. Twelve C57BL/6J mice with the same genetic background served as a normal group. Each treatment group received gavage administration daily， with the model and normal groups receiving equal volume of physiological saline. Intervention continued for 12 consecutive weeks. The learning and memory abilities of the mice were assessed using the novel object recognition （NOR） and Morris water maze （MWM） tests. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE）/Nissl staining was used to observe histopathological changes in the hippocampus. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to observe mitochondrial ultrastructure. Fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester （Fluo-4 AM） Ca²⁺ probe was used to measure intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration in brain tissue. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of PKA， CaN， sodium/calcium/lithium exchanger （NCLX）， mitochondrial calcium uniporter （MCU）， calmodulin （CaM）， dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1）， and phosphorylated dynamin-related protein 1 （serine 637 site） ［p-Drp1（S637）］ in the hippocampus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to measure the expression of PKA， CaN， CaM， NCLX， MCU， and Drp1 mRNAs. ResultsCompared with those in the normal group， the recognition index （RI） of the model group decreased （P0.01）， and the number of crossings through the original platform area， the duration of stay in the target quadrant， and the distance were reduced （P0.01）. The protein expression of PKA， NCLX， and p-DRP1 （ser637） significantly decreased （P0.05）， and the mRNA expression of PKA and NCLX significantly decreased （P0.05）. The escape latency （EL） was prolonged （P0.05）， and the intracellular Ca²⁺ level significantly increased （P0.01）. The protein expression of CaN， CaM， MCU， and Drp1， as well as the mRNA expression of CaN， MCU， and Drp1， significantly increased （P0.05）. After intervention with Donepezil and Yizhi Qingxin prescription， compared with that in the model group， the RI of the treatment group significantly increased （P0.05）， and the number of crossings through the platform and the duration of stay in the target quadrant significantly increased （P0.05）. The protein expression of PKA， NCLX， and p-Drp1 （ser637） and the mRNA expression of PKA and NCLX significantly increased （P0.05）. On the 4th and 5th days， the EL was shortened （P0.05）， and the intracellular Ca²⁺ level decreased （P0.05）. The protein expression of CaN， CaM， MCU， and Drp1 and the mRNA expression of CaN， MCU， and Drp1 significantly decreased （P0.05）. ConclusionYizhi Qingxin prescription regulates the PKA/CaN pathway， upregulates the expression of PKA， NCLX， and p-Drp1 （ser637） proteins， reduces the expression of CaN， CaM， MCU， and Drp1 proteins， and regulates Ca²⁺ homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamic balance， thereby enhancing the spatial learning and memory abilities of AD mice.

Objective To explore the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room,and analyze the causes.Methods Targeted surveillance was per-formed on patients in emergency rescue room and observation room of a tertiary first-class hospital in Xuzhou City from January 1 to December 31,2023 using prospective survey method.HAI,antimicrobial use,as well as invasive procedures and related infection rates were analyzed.Results The incidence of HAI in 540 patients was 0.19％(n=1),and the daily incidence of HAI was 0.54‰(1/1 841).The utilization rates of invasive ventilators,central ve-nous catheters,and indwelling urinary catheters were 6.79％(125/1 841),1.09％(20/1 841),and 2.93％(54/1 841),respectively.The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia,central line-associated bloodstream infec-tion,and catheter-associated urinary tract infection were 8.00‰(1/125),0(0/20),and 0(0/54),respectively.Pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial treatment was 99.22％(382/385).Conclusion The incidence of HAI in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room is low,the retention time of patients in rescue room is short,and pathogen detection of specimens before antimicrobial treatment is high.Patients in emergency rescue room and observation room are at high risk of HAI.It is necessary to carry out targeted surveillance on HAI to re-duce its incidence.

Objective To understand the application of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)quality control indi-cators and current status of HAI management in primary medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and provide refe-rence and basis for primary medical institutions to improve HAI management quality and for health administrative departments to formulate HAI management relevant policies.Methods Data on HAI quality control indicators co-llected by Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center from the first batch of 62 pri-mary sentinel medical institutions in the province were analyzed.Results of on-site inspections and assessments of 20 institutions were summarized and analyzed.Results From July 2023 to May 2024,a total of 145 814 inpatients were monitored,219 patients had 220 episodes of HAI.The incidence and case incidence of HAI were both 0.15％,and the main HAI site was upper respiratory tract(40.45％).The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene were 81.34％(14.29％-100％)and 87.90％(18.46％-100％),respectively.The removal rate of surface pollu-tant from environmental objects was 77.24％(20.00％-100％),and the qualified rate of cleaning of device,appli-ances,and articles was 98.76％(10.00％-100％).The monitoring data records of quality control indicators in most primary healthcare institutions during on-site inspections didn't match the monthly data reported to the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center.Most healthcare workers in primary healthcare institutions lacked sufficient awareness and knowledge in infection prevention and control.Multiple HAI-related safety hazards existed in key departments of most primary medical institutions.Conclusion After nearly a year of continuous monitoring on HAI,the primary sentinel medical institutions have established their own data on the inci-dence of HAI.The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene,as well as the removal rate of surface pollu-tants from environmental objects are still relatively low in some medical medical institutions,and there is much room for improvement.There is still a significant gap in terms of HAI prevention and control in some primary medical in-stitutions when referring to the standards.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of chronic kidney disease in patients with 10 years of hypertension. Methods A total of 350 patients with 10 years or longer course of hypertension who underwent physical examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June 2021 to June 2024 were selected. General information of the patients was collected through questionnaires. Renal function related indicators and imaging results were obtained through relevant laboratory tests and imaging examinations. Based on the results of renal function related indicators, the epidemiological characteristics of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive patients with 10 years of hypertension, as well as risk factors for chronic kidney disease in the hypertensive patients were identified. Results Among the 350 patients enrolled in this study, there were 71 (20.29%) with proteinuria, 32 (9.14%) with hematuria, and 40 (11.43%) with decreased renal function. A total of 80 (22.86%) cases with structural variations such as kidney stones and cysts were detected by renal B-mode ultrasound. There were 121 (34.57%) patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease. There were statistically significant differences in gender, age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia between patients with chronic kidney disease and those without (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that gender, age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia were the risk factors for chronic kidney disease in patients with hypertension (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with 10 years of hypertension have a high risk of chronic kidney disease, and the risk factors include gender, age, diabetes, hyperuricemia, and hyperlipidemia.
