Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic interstitial lung disease, is characterized by aberrant wound healing, excessive scarring and the formation of myofibroblastic foci. Although the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis has garnered increasing attention, its specific contribution to pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. We demonstrated that enhanced expression of Srsf7 in mice spontaneously induced alveolar collagen accumulation. Mechanistically, we investigated alternative splicing events and revealed that SRSF7 modulates the alternative splicing of pyruvate kinase (PKM), leading to metabolic dysregulation and fibroblast activation. In vivo studies showed that fibroblast-specific knockout of Srsf7 in conditional knockout mice conferred resistance to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the different categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses and its relationship with job burnout, so as to provide a basis for optimizing medical organization management strategies.Methods:From January to February 2025, 318 ICU nurses from four ClassⅢ hospitals in Taizhou City were selected as research subjects using convenience sampling. The General Information Questionnaire, Nursing Burnout Scale, and Organizational Involution Scale were used to conduct the survey. Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses, and one-way analysis of variance was used to explore differences in ICU nurses' job burnout scores across different latent categories of organizational involution. A total of 318 questionnaires were distributed, and 306 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid return rate of 96.23%.Results:The 306 ICU nurses' organizational involution was divided into three latent categories of low involution-high efficiency group (34.97%, 107/306), moderate involution-systemic consumption group (42.81%, 131/306), and high involution-total imbalance group (22.22%, 68/306). There were statistically significant differences in job burnout scores between different latent categories of organizational involution among ICU nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The overall level of organizational involution among ICU nurses is moderately high, and there is heterogeneity. There is a correlation between organizational involution and job burnout. Nursing managers should optimize organizational management, break the negative cycle of organizational involution and job burnout, and improve nurses' job satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the seroepidemiological status of Toxoplasma gondii among humans, dogs and cats and its influencing factors in three counties of Yunnan Province, and to assess the risk of dogs and cats transmitting Toxoplasma gondii to humans and causing disease and epidemics. Methods:Three pestis foci of demestic rodent in Mile City, Mang City and Lianghe County in Yunnan Province were selected as the investigation areas, and blood samples of humans, dogs and cats from 16 natural villages were collected. Serum IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii were detected by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the influencing factors were analyzed by logistic regression. Results:A total of 368 human serum samples, 307 dog serum samples, and 12 cat serum samples were tested. The positive rates of serum IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in humans, dogs and cats were 54.62% (201/368), 90.88% (279/307), and 91.67% (11/12), respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection (serum IgG antibodies positive) in humans of Mang City and Lianghe County were 8.20 times ( AOR = 8.20, 95% CI: 4.38 - 15.36) and 2.22 times ( AOR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.24 - 3.97) higher than those in Mile City, respectively, and the risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection (serum IgG antibodies positive) in humans in the age group of 30 - < 40 years old decreased by 57% compared to the age group of 30 years old ( AOR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.19 - 0.98, P < 0.10). The risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection (serum IgG antibodies positive) in dogs of Lianghe County was 89% lower than that in Mile City ( AOR = 0.11, 95% CI: 0.02 - 0.47). The risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection(serum IgG antibodies positive) in dogs aged 2 years old and older was 2.05 times higher than that in dogs aged younger than 2 years old ( AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 0.91 - 4.64, P < 0.10). Conclusions:The positive rates of serum IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in humans, dogs and cats in the three counties where the three pestis foci of demestic rodent are located in Yunnan Province is relatively high. The risk of Toxoplasma gondii infection (serum IgG antibodies positive) in humans, dogs is related to the region and age. The risk of dogs and cats transmitting Toxoplasma gondii to humans and other animals is relatively high. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring in key regions, carry out health education, and take corresponding health measures.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effectiveness of Piezocision combined with a microporous technique in accelerating periodontal tissue reconstruction during the anterior migration of mandibular molars in adults.Methods:A prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted on 30 adult orthodontic patients recruited from Shaoxing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2020 and September 2022. The inclusion criteria were patients who were unable to retain their first molars due to severe caries or long-term absence and were not suitable for implantation. Using the random number table method, the patients were randomly assigned to two groups: a simple orthodontic control group (Group A, n = 15) and a group that received Piezocision combined with a microporous technique (Group B, n = 15). After treatment, a comparison was made between the two groups in terms of mesial movement distance of the mandibular second molar, plaque index, gingival index, periodontal pocket depth, width of keratinized gingiva, gingival recession, clinical attachment loss, mesial root resorption of the mandibular second molar, alveolar bone height (measured as the distance from the center of the lower incisor to the anterior margin of the chin, referred to as the LM-AC distance), mandibular bone height (measured by the distance from the distal or mesial surface of the root to the alveolar bone margin, denoted as the CEJ-AC distance), and orthodontic satisfaction. Results:The mesial movement distances of the mandibular second molar in Group A patients were (0.86 ± 0.13) mm, (2.75 ± 0.24) mm, (3.54 ± 0.24) mm, and (4.67 ± 0.13) mm at 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively. These values were significantly greater than those observed in Group B, which were (0.43 ± 0.06) mm, (1.27 ± 0.14) mm, (1.85 ± 0.53) mm, and (2.65 ± 0.06) mm ( t = 6.83, 14.13, 18.24, 23.78, all P < 0.001). Prior to treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in plaque index, gingival index, periodontal pocket depth, width of keratinized gingiva, gingival recession, or clinical attachment loss between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, Group A did not exhibit statistically significant differences in plaque index, gingival index, width of keratinized gingiva, and gingival recession compared with baseline values (all P > 0.05). However, in Group A, periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment loss significantly increased compared with pretreatment levels ( t = -2.57, -7.50, both P < 0.05). After treatment, Group B exhibited significantly increased values for periodontal pocket depth, width of keratinized gingiva, gingival recession, and clinical attachment loss compared with baseline levels ( t = -8.66, -5.57, -45.33, -9.72, all P < 0.001). Furthermore, these values were significantly higher in Group B compared with those in Group A ( t = -4.28, -3.18, 10.00, 10.69, all P < 0.001). A statistically significant difference was also observed between the two groups in terms of mesial root resorption of the mandibular second molar ( t = 4.14, P < 0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in LM-AC distance between the two groups after treatment ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The combination of Piezocision and a microporous technique can effectively accelerate the anterior migration of mandibular molars in adults while maintaining the health of periodontal tissues. This approach holds great potential for clinical promotion.

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation of the levels of interleukin-25 (IL-25) and interleukin-33 (IL-33) in cord blood with the development of infantile eczema within 42 days after birth, so as to provide theoretical support for the prevention of early infant eczema. 【Methods】 A total of 145 newborns who met the inclusion criteria and were born in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Air Force Special Medical Center from September 2020 to September 2021 were selected. Cord venous blood was collected at birth and the levels of IL-25 and IL-33 in cord blood were measured. The occurrence and severity of infantile eczema were recorded in 42 days. 【Results】 Among 145 infants, 79(54.5%) suffered from eczema. The level of IL-25 in cord blood in eczema group was significantly lower than that in non-eczema group (Z=4.957, P<0.001), and the level of IL-33 in cord blood in eczema group was significantly higher than that in non-eczema group (Z=4.594, P<0.001). The proportion of family history of allergy in the eczema group was significantly higher than that in non-eczema group (χ²=4.693, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that family history of allergy (OR=4.296), lower level of IL-25(<14.5pg/mL) (OR=4.034) and higher level of IL-33(>21.1pg/mL) (OR=2.759) in cord blood were risk factors for eczema (P<0.05), while birth weight was not associated with the onset of eczema in infants at 42 days (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the level of IL-33 in cord blood was related to the mode of delivery (P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that the optimized positive cutoff value was <14.0pg/mL for cord blood IL-25(sensitivity 62.0%, specificity 75.8%) and >22.1pg/mL for IL-33 (sensitivity 64.6%, specificity 69.7%). Spearman correlation test found that there was a linear correlation of the level of cord blood IL-33 with eczema area and severity index (EASI) score (r=0.398, P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 Family allergy history, lower level of cord blood IL-25 and higher level of cord blood IL-33 are important influencing factors of infant eczema in 42 days after birth, and higher level of cord blood IL-33 will aggravate the severity of early infantile eczema.

Objective To investigate the relationship between early infant eczema and cord blood interleukin(IL)-36γ level.Methods Fifty-nine full-term healthy newborns were selected as the study subjects.General information was collected including gender,birth weight,delivery method,gestational age,maternal age,physical fitness during pregnancy(diabetes,infection,hyperthyroidism and other complications),family history of allergies and intake times of seafood during pregnancy≥3 times.The level of IL-36γ in umbilical cord blood after birth was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The presence and severity of eczema within 42 days were followed up.Multivariate Logistic regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of early infant eczema,and receiver operating characteristics(ROC)were plotted to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness.Results Among 59 infants,40 had eczema,of which 35 were mild,5 were moderate and 19 were eczema free.The proportion of seafood intake times≥3 and the level of IL-36γ in umbilical cord blood were higher in the eczema group than those in the no-eczema group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in IL-36γ level in cord blood between mild and moderate eczema patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the increased level of IL-36γ in umbilical cord blood and≥3 intake times of seafood during pregnancy were risk factors for early infant eczema(P＜0.05).ROC results showed that the AUC(95%CI)of umbilical cord blood IL-36γ was 0.743(0.611-0.874),sensitivity was 87.6%,specificity was 57.9%,and truncation value was 103.823 ng/L.Conclusion The elevated level of IL-36γ in umbilical cord blood is an independent risk factor for early infant eczema,and early detection is valuable for predicting the occurrence of infantile eczema.

OBJECTIVE To prepare a new antibacterial agent triggered by near infrared light to combat bacterial infection and promote wound healing. METHODS The synthesis of antibacterial agengt was supported by the results from transmission electron microscopy, Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The antibacterial agent was irradiated under near infrared(NIR) laser with different concentrations to study the photothermal properties. Release of ciprofloxacin from the antibacterial agent was determined under different conditions. Observed antibacterial activity of the agent by spread plate method and bacterial growth curve. The infected wound was made on the back skin of mice, and the mice were treated with different methods to observe the healing process of the wound and study its influence on the wound healing. RESULTS The synthesized antimicrobial agent could be heated repeatedly without attenuation under near-infrared light, and could still reach a high temperature of 45 ℃ at a low concentration of 125 µg·mL-1. At the same time, it could promote the release of loaded antibiotics, and the release rate reached 86%. Compared with 200 µg·mL-1 solution obtained by physical mixing of polydopamine and ciprofloxacin, the synthesized antimicrobial agent combined with near-infrared light showed more excellent antibacterial ability, and the bacteriostatic rate against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was 99.9%. Antimicrobial agents with concentrations of only 0.312 5 µg·mL-1 and 1.25 µg·mL-1 combined with near infrared light significantly inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Through the mouse skin defect model infected by Staphylococcus aureus, it was proved that the synthetic antibacterial agent still had excellent antibacterial effect in practical application, and could accelerate the healing of infected wound. CONCLUSION The synthesized antimicrobial agents have excellent antibacterial effect in vitro, and still have good antibacterial effect and promote wound healing under the conservative power irradiation without causing skin damage in vivo.
