Viruses,with high adaptability and immune evasion capabilities,are responsible for a wide spectrum of diseases from lo-calized infections to global pandemics,continuously posing threats to global public health.In recent years,traditional Chinese medi-cine(TCM)has demonstrated significant potential in antiviral therapy.With its multi-component,multi-target synergistic mechanism,TCM offers unique advantages in the intervention of viral diseases.However,progress in elucidating the active antiviral constituents of TCM and identifying their precise molecular targets remains limited,primarily due to the lack of humanized models that can faithfully recapitulate the natural course of viral infection.The emergence of organoid technology has introduced new opportunities for antiviral research in TCM.Human organoids,which recapitulate the three-dimensional architecture and physiological functions of human tis-sues,provide an advanced platform for modeling host-virus interactions in a human-relevant context.This article highlights the latest advances in applications of human tissue organoids,including lung,liver,and brain organoids,in the study of respiratory viruses(SARS-CoV-2,influenza virus,respiratory syncytial virus),hepatitis viruses(HBV,HCV,HEV),and neurotropic viruses(ZIKV,pri-ons,HCMV);illustrates how organoid models have been leveraged to evaluate both the efficacy and safety of TCM-based antiviral inter-ventions.Although human tissue organoids still face technical challenges in insufficient vascularization and incomplete immune micro-environment,they represent a powerful tool for dissecting the mechanism of TCM antiviral action and for guiding the development of personalized antiviral strategies.Looking ahead,human tissue organoid technology is expected to become key enabling platform for pro-moting the clinical transformation of TCM in the field of antiviral medicine.

Objective To analyze the risk factors and clinical outcomes of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with heart disease after surgery.Methods A total of 156 patients with heart valve diseases undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of H ainan Medical University from October 2021 to December 2023 were prospectively recruited.At 7 d postoperatively,Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scale was used to assess their cogni-tive function,and based on MoCA score＜26 or not,they patients were divided into a cognitive impairment group(n=61)and a control group(n=95).The clinical features were compared be-tween the two groups,and the risk factors for cognitive impairment were analyzed.All patients were followed up for 1 year to compare the outcomes of the two groups.Results The cognitive impairment group had significantly advanced age,larger proportions of concomitant chronic respiratory diseases and sarcopenia,increased ratio of undergoing open heart surgery,and elevated incidence of intraoperative hypotension than the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age,chronic respiratory diseases,sarcopenia,open heart surgery,and intraoperative hypotension were independent risk factors for postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly patients with heart diseases(OR=1.081,95％CI:1.007-1.161,P=0.030;OR=2.538,95％CI:1.062-6.066,P=0.036;OR=2.650,95％CI:1.174-5.985,P=0.019;OR=3.104,95％CI:1.391-6.929,P=0.006;OR=3.478,95％CI:1.298-9.322,P=0.0013).There was no statistical difference in preoperative MoCA scores between the two groups(27.90±1.40 vs 28.20±1.40,P=0.195).The MoCA score at 7 d and 6 and 12 months after surgery were obviously lower in the cognitive impairment group than the control group(22.90±1.27 vs 27.73±1.08,P=0.000;24.72±1.66 vs 27.73±1.23,P=0.000;25.48±1.73 vs 27.62±1.22,P=0.000).Age was identified as an independent factor affecting the outcome of cognitive function in the patients(OR=1.168,95％CI:1.035-1.318).Conclusion The incidence of postoperative cog-nitive impairment is relatively high in elderly patients with heart disease.So,relevant risk factors should be addressed to strengthen the prevention and management.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the liquid resuscitation therapy strategy using intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) as the end point in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods:A retrospective study was performed, including 84 patients with SAP in emergency intensive care unit of Qingzhou Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2018 to August 2021. According to the status of fluid balance at admission, all patients were divided into the positive fluid balance group (43 cases) and the negative fluid balance group (41 cases). The clinical data including gender, age, etiology, underlying disease, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) of all patients were collected. Fluid balance, PaO 2/FiO 2, IAP, compliance rate, new mechanical ventilation rate and overall hospital stay of 1 week after admission were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results:After 72 hours of treatment, the cumulative fluid balance was (5 219.5±1 038.4) mL in the positive fluid balance group; IAP was higher than that before treatment [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 11.9±2.0 vs. 11.7±2.1], but no significant difference was found ( P > 0.05); PaO 2/FiO 2 was significantly higher than that before treatment (mmHg: 299.8±51.4 vs. 220.5±50.4, P < 0.05). After 72 hours of treatment, the cumulative fluid balance in negative fluid balance group was (-3 542.4±1 310.6) mL; IAP was significantly lower than before treatment (mmHg: 11.4±1.8 vs. 15.2±1.9, P < 0.05); PaO 2/FiO 2 was significantly higher than that before treatment (mmHg: 309.9±50.9 vs. 215.4±49.7, P < 0.05). In the fluid resuscitation goals, after 72 hours of treatment, the compliance rate in the negative fluid balance group was significantly higher than that in the positive fluid balance group [82.93% (34/41) vs. 62.79% (27/43), P < 0.05]; 1 week after admission, the new mechanical ventilation rate in the negative fluid balance group was significantly lower than that in the positive fluid balance group [21.95% (9/41) vs. 41.86% (18/43), P < 0.05]; however, there was no significant difference in overall hospital stay between the two groups (days: 41.2±10.9 vs. 39.1±11.5, P > 0.05). After treatment, 70 patients survived and 14 patients died (including 9 cases in the positive fluid balance group and 5 cases in the negative fluid balance group). Conclusions:Using IAP and PaO 2/FiO 2 to guide liquid therapy could result in effective fluid resuscitation in SAP. The treatment strategy effectively improved prognosis of patients with SAP.

Objective:To explore the effect of the new model of "5G cloud plus medicine" network and linkage in improving the therapeutic effect for patients with severe trauma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 410 patients with severe trauma admitted to Qingzhou People′s Hospital affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from November 2016 to November 2020. There were 258 males and 152 females, aged 16-80 years [(45.7±16.1)years]. The injury severity score (ISS) ranged from 17 to 55 points [(28.1±7.6)points]. A total of 210 patients with severe trauma were rescued by using the new model of "5G cloud plus medicine" network and linkage from November 1, 2018 to November 30, 2020 (observation group), and another 200 patients with severe trauma were rescued by the traditional treatment mode from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2018 were selected as the control group. Time to start rescue (time from admission to the start of rescue), CT examination time (time from consultation to completion of CT scan), time to receive blood transfusion (time from blood transfusion request to execution), residence time in emergency room, ISS at postoperative 28 days, proportion of patients with blood transfusion, success rate of rescue and mortality rate were compared between the two groups.Results:Time to start rescue [(2.4±1.1)minutes], CT examination time [(29.1±10.3)minutes], time to receive blood transfusion [(28.1±10.2)minutes] and residence time in emergency room [(3.0±1.1)hours] in observation group were significantly shorter than those in control group [(5.5±1.2)minutes, (42.8±10.1)minutes, (48.5±13.1)minutes, (5.0±1.4)hours] (all P<0.05 or 0.01). ISS was (18.7±2.8)points in observation group, significantly lower than (22.1±3.4)points in control group ( P<0.05). Proportion of patients with blood transfusion was 49.5% (104/210) in observation group, similar with 42.5% (85/200) in control group ( P>0.05). Success rate of rescue was 99.0% (208/210) in observation group, significantly higher than 93.0% (186/200) in control group ( P<0.05). The mortality rate was 4.3% (9/200) in observation group, significantly lower than 8.5% (17/200) in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with severe trauma, the new model of "5G cloud plus medicine" network and linkage can effectively shorten the time to start rescue, CT examination time, time to receive blood transfusion and residence time in emergency room, improve the success rate of rescue and reduce the mortality rate, which is worthy of further promotion.

Lumbosacral nerve root anomalies (LNRA) refers to the abnormality of lumbosacral nerve root in morphology, course and initial position, which may be related to the abnormal migration of nerve root in embryo. Imaging examination is a commonly used method for localization and qualitative diagnosis of LNRA. Clinically, many classification systems have been established based on imaging results, autopsy reports and Book observations. However, the lack of evaluation on the advantages and disadvantages of each classification is not conducive to the development of clinical work. In this paper, the classification and characteristics of LNRA at home and abroad were reviewed, and the advantages and limitations of each classification were evaluated. Through the literature retrieval and summary, it is not reliable to design the corresponding classification based on the imaging results. Not only is the detection rate of MRI as the preferred examination method far lower than that of autopsy, but also it is not an intuitive study of the lesions, and its authenticity is questionable. Based on the classification of autopsy results, the spinal cord is directly stripped in the study, excluding the surrounding soft tissue and bone marrow. The interference of spinal bone structure is more conducive to the comprehensive observation of variation, which has a certain guiding significance for clinical; based on the classification of intraoperative observation results, the number of research samples is large, easy to obtain, and there are matching imaging data to do the follow-up comparative study, among which the Neidre classification is themost widely used classification, which provides considerable convenience for clinical work. LNRA may not be treated as a common disease due to the limitation of technology and lack of understanding. The lack of specific symptoms and the characteristics of combined compression will affect the detection rate. In terms of treatment, traditional discectomy and spinal canal decompression cannot meet the clinical needs. More new surgical methods need to be proposed to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics and the antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates, and to provide the evidence for the rational use of antimicrobial agents to treat Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Methods:The positive microbiological laboratory identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Streptococcus pneumoniae from sputum of children with respiratory infections during January 2010 to December 2017 in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed. The positive rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae of different genders, ages, years and seasons were compared. The annual detection rates and trends of drug resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin, amoxicillin and cefotaxime were analyzed by Mann-Kendall trend test. The seasonal decomposition of time series was conducted to assess the association between Streptococcus pneumoniae detection rate and season. Enumeration data was compared using χ2 test. Results:Of the 88 480 sputum specimens, the total positive rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae was 10.3%(9 081/88 480). The detection rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae in children aged 0 to <0.5 years old, 0.5 to <2 years old, 2 to <3 years old, 3 to <5 years old, and 5 to <15 years old were 4.2%(1 407/33 224), 13.1%(3 191/24 390), 14.9%(2 417/16 252), 17.9%(1 474/8 246) and 9.3%(592/6 368), respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=2 421.6, P<0.01). The detection rates were 8.1%(1 321/16 306) from January to March, 10.9%(2 194/20 207) from April to June, 8.5%(2 141/25 058) from July to September, and 12.7%(3 425/26 909) from October to December. The discrepancy of positive rates in different seasons showed statistical significance ( χ2=311.5, P<0.01). During 2010 to 2017, significant decreases in antibiotic resistant rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin, amoxicillin and cefotaxime were detected (tau=-0.93, -0.93 and -0.71, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The detection rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae in sputum of children with respiratory infections may present seasonal pattern and vary between different ages of children. The resistance to β-lactam antibiotics has declined.

Objective: To investigate the differences in frequency and function of natural killer cells (NK) between chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and acute hepatitis B (AHB). Methods: Patients with AHB and those with CHB in immune active (IA) phase were enrolled. The frequencies of NK, CD56^dimNK, CD56^brightNK and the expression of functional molecules IFNAR2 and NKp46 on the surface of NK cells were detected respectively among patients with CHB in IA phase, patients with AHB, and those recovered from AHB. At the same time, their correlations with ALT, HBV DNA and HBV markers were analyzed. Results: Between IA and AHB, the frequencies of NK cells and NKp46^dim NK cells in AHB cases were significantly lower than those in IA cases, but the frequency of NKp46^high NK cells in AHB was higher than that in IA. For patients who recovered from AHB, the frequency of NK cells and NKp46^dim NK cells increased; the varied ranges of frequencies of CD56^dimNK, IFNAR2⁺ NK and NKp46⁺ NK cells were on the rise, while the frequency of NKp46^high NK cells decreased after the recovery from AHB, and the varied ranges of CD56^brightNK and IFNAR2MFI, NKp46MFI decreased. In AHB, HBVDNA loads were positively correlated with ALT levels. Before and after the recovery of AHB: ΔHBV DNA and ΔALT, Δ NK/LY (%) were positively correlated; ΔALT and ΔNKp46^highNK/NK(%), ΔNKp46MFI, ΔIFNAR2MFI were positively correlated. Conclusions In CHB immune active phase, the activity of peripheral blood NK cells was too weak to remove the virus, but NK cells play an important role in eliminating the viruses and mediating liver tissue inflammation in AHB.
