ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza, and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, parallel, controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals, including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness (ILI) cases were collected, and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention, they were assigned to the observation group (108 cases) or the control group (108 cases). Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score scale for influenza, influenza-related emergency (outpatient) visit rate, influenza hospitalization rate, and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled, with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes: (1) Incidence of ILI: The incidence was 12.0% (13/108) in the observation group and 23.1% (25/108) in the control group, with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence (χ2=4.6, P<0.05). (2) Influenza confirmation rate: 3.7% (4/108) in the observation group and 4.6% (5/108) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes: (1) TCM symptom score scale: after onset, nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups (P<0.05), while other symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and cough showed no significant differences. (2) Influenza-related emergency (outpatient) visit rate: 84.6% (11 cases) in the observation group and 96.0% (24 cases) in the control group, with no significant difference. (3) Time to onset after exposure: The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions, Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

6.Balance of T Helper Cell 17 and T Regulatory Cell:A New Target for Obesity Treatment
Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2025;54(3):452-457
In the general state,Th17 cells can promote inflammatory responses,while Treg cells have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions.In obesity individuals,the body is often in a chronic low-grade inflammatory state,and the Th17/Treg cell balance is disrupted,leading to an increase in the number and hyperfunction of Th17 cells and a decrease in the number and hypofunction of Treg cells,which exacerbates the development of obesity and related metabolic diseases.In this paper,the relationship between Th17/Treg cell balance and obesity,and the mechanism of Th17/Treg cell imbalance leading to the occur-rence and development of obesity are reviewed according to relevant research progress in recent years,with a view to exploring new targets for the treatment of obesity.

Objective:To explore the factors influencing ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses.Methods:Using purposive sampling, 15 oncology nurses from 13 tertiary general hospitals in Foshan, Guangdong Province were selected as research participants from July to September 2023. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, and Colaizzi's seven-step content analysis method was applied to organize and analyze the collected data.Results:A total of 4 themes were summarized: insufficient clinical experience and knowledge reserve; lack of ethical education and management system processes; high-pressure working environment and communication barriers; and the constraints of the cultural concept of "valuing life over death".Conclusions:Oncology nurses have insufficient ethical sensitivity. Nursing managers should establish a systematic ethical education system, improve ethical management systems, optimize the clinical working environment, and integrate cultural sensitivity education to jointly enhance nurses' communication skills. Attention should also be paid to the inheritance of clinical experience from senior nurses, so as to improve the ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses in a multidimensional way.
8.Correlation between a body shape index and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
Journal of China Medical University 2025;54(10):869-875
Objective To explore the correlation between a body shape index(ABSI)and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and evaluate its screening value.Methods The clinical data of 285 postmenopausal women were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into the normal(n=100),osteopenia(n=102),and osteoporosis(n=85)groups based on the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DXA)results,and their clinical characteristics were compared.Pearson's correlation and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the correlation between ABSI and osteoporosis.The ABSI value for osteoporosis screening was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The ABSI value was significantly higher in the osteoporosis group than in the normal and osteopenia groups(P<0.05),consistent with the results of the modified a body shape index for Chinese adults(CABSI)based on the body shape cha-racteristics of the Chinese population.Lumbar spine and bilateral hip bone mineral density were positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure(DBP),fasting blood glucose(FBG),triglyceride(TG),uric acid(UA),height,weight,waist circumference,and body mass index(BMI)(P<0.05)and negatively correlated with age,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),ABSI,and CABSI(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that the osteoporosis risk in the highest quartile groups of ABSI and CABSI was 3.084-and 3.541-fold that of the lowest quartile groups,respectively.The CABSI showed the highest sensitivity(77.1%),whereas weight exhibited the best diagnostic accuracy(area under the curve=0.691)and highest specificity(80.7%).Conclusion Elevated ABSI and CABSI scores are significantly associated with osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women.Overall,CABSI shows a relatively high screening sensitivity and is therefore a potential indicator for early osteoporosis identification.

Objective:To understand the awareness of influenza and influenza vaccine, influenza incidence, influenza vaccination status and intention and related factors in primary and secondary school teachers.Methods:Cross-sectional study design and stratified random sampling method were used to select 5 teachers from each of 51 primary schools and 40 middle schools in a district of Beijing from April 17 to 21, 2024. A questionnaire survey was conducted in the selected teachers with an estimated sample size of 1 040. The survey collected the information about their demographic characteristics, awareness of influenza and influenza vaccine, influenza incidence, influenza vaccination status and intention. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors related to influenza vaccination status and intention.Results:In the 975 primary and secondary school teachers, the awareness of susceptibility and severity of influenza and the benefits of influenza vaccination were high. In terms of safety of influenza vaccine, 48.00% (468/975) of the teachers believed that adverse reaction would occur after the vaccination. Influenza like illness occurred in 41.13% (401/975) of the teachers during 2023-2024, and in these teachers, 40.15% (161/401) asked for leave from work due to illness, 40.90% (164/401) sought medical care and 32.93% (54/164) were influenza virus positive. In the 975 teachers, 13.95% (136/975) were vaccinated against influenza during 2023-2024 and 34.46% (336/975) were willing to be vaccinated against influenza during 2024-2025. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being teacher in charge of a class (a OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.06-2.35), believing that influenza vaccination could effectively prevent influenza (a OR=1.99, 95% CI: 1.05-3.80), believing that teachers' vaccination could improve students' willingness to be vaccinated (a OR=1.98, 95% CI: 1.12-3.50) were the positive factors for teachers' vaccination, and worrying about adverse reactions after the vaccination (a OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.34-0.80) was the negative factor. Doctors' recommendation (a OR=2.62, 95% CI: 1.41-4.86) and free influenza vaccination (a OR=10.26, 95% CI: 5.17-20.39) were positively correlated with teachers' intention to influenza vaccination. Conclusions:Primary and secondary school teachers in a district of Beijing had high awareness of influenza and influenza vaccine, but their awareness of influenza vaccine safety should be improved. The incidence of influenza-related infection was high in the primary and secondary school teachers. The influenza vaccination rate was low and the willingness to receive influenza vaccination in following year was not strong. For the better prevention and control of influenza in schools, it is necessary to strengthen the health education in primary and secondary school teachers to improve their awareness of influenza vaccine safety and vaccination rate.
