Objective:To analyze the association between healthcare workers mental health,institu-tional supplies and facilities,inter-organizational coordination during infectious disease outbreaks,and the healthcare institution resilience.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among the healthcare workforce from 146 institutions in Beijing from January 13,2023 to February 9,2023,and a total of 1 434 eligible respondents were included.The sample comprised 408 responses from tertiary hos-pitals,117 from secondary hospitals,and 909 from primary care institutions.The resilience indicator for healthcare institutions was defined as the degree to which medical services met patient demands,with in-fluencing factors including physical factors,such as material shortages and facility space adaptation or ex-pansion,organizational factors such as information sharing and patient referral,and psychological factors were evaluated using job satisfaction(extrinsic satisfaction,intrinsic satisfaction),burnout(emotional exhaustion,depersonalization,reduced personal accomplishment),and depression status.Ordered mul-ticlassification Logistic regression was used to examine the impact of various factors on the degree to which healthcare services met patient needs;additionally,demographic factors that might influence institutional resilience were controlled.Results:During the emergency response phase,93%of hospitals maintained the capacity to meet patient needs,though tertiary hospitals demonstrated significantly higher rates of service inadequacy(21.05%).Material shortages were reported across all institutions,with tertiary hos-pitals experiencing more frequent multi-item shortages.Inter-institutional collaboration patterns revealed substantial variation:87.50%of primary care facilities,42.86%of secondary hospitals,and 31.58%of tertiary hospitals.Healthcare workers across all levels reported mild depressive symptoms and moderate-to-severe burnout levels.Regression analysis showed high satisfaction(overall satisfaction β=0.04,ex-trinsic satisfaction β=0.06,and intrinsic satisfaction β=0.08),low degree of job burnout(emotional exhaustion β=-0.04,depersonalization β=-0.07 and reduced personal accomplishment β=0.01),low degree of depression(β=-0.06)were significantly associated with higher healthcare institution re-silience.In addition,material shortages were significantly associated with lower resilience,and renova-tion and expansion of treatment spaces,and information sharing,were all associated with higher resilience.Demographic factors(age,gender,marital status,educational background,etc.)had no sig-nificant impact on resilience.Conclusion:Mental health status significantly influences healthcare institu-tion resilience.As human resources constitute the core asset of healthcare institutions,strategic optimiza-tion of workforce allocation and psychological support interventions can effectively strengthen resilience.Moreover,healthcare institution resilience is positively impacted by orderly material supply chains,timely resource distribution,and adaptive reconfiguration of clinical spaces.Finally,facilitating information sharing also enhances institutional resilience.

Thimerosal has been widely used as a preservative in drug and vaccine products for decades.Due to the strong propensity to modify thiols in proteins,conformational changes could occur due to covalent bond formation between ethylmercury(a degradant of thimerosal)and thiols.Such a conformational change could lead to partial or even complete loss of desirable protein function.This study aims to investigate the effects of thimerosal on the capsid stability and antigenicity of recombinant human papillomavirus(HPV)18 virus-like particles(VLPs).Dramatic destabilization of the recombinant viral capsid upon thimerosal treatment was observed.Such a negative effect on the thermal stability of VLPs preserved with thimerosal was shown to be dependent on the thimerosal concentration.Two highly neutralizing antibodies,13H12 and 3C3,were found to be the most sensitive to thimerosal treatment.The kinetics of antigenicity loss,when monitored with 13H12 or 3C3 as probes,yielded two distinctly different sets of kinetic parameters,while the data from both monoclonal antibodies(mAbs)followed a biphasic expo-nential decay model.The potential effect of thimerosal on protein function,particularly for thiol-containing proteinaceous active components,needs to be comprehensively characterized during formulation development when a preservative is necessary.

Objective To observe the change of retinal microstructures and the association between visual outcome with these microstructures in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) after laser treatment.Methods This is a retrospective study.From April 2016 to February 2017,a total of 52 eyes from 52 patients who underwent conventional laser treatment (27 eyes) or subthreshold laser treatment (25 eyes) for CSC and the sub-retinal fluid (SRF) absorbed completely were included in this study.The were 46 patients (46 eyes) and 6 males (6 eyes),with the mean age of 43.92± 8.62 years.The healthy fellow eyes (49 eyes) were selected as control.All patients were underwent BCVA and SD-OCT examination.According to the OCT images for all patients,the thickness of central foveal (CFT),outer nuclear (ONL),inner segment (IS),outer segment (OS) were measured.The status of ellipsoid zone (EZ),interdigitation zone (IZ) and RPE were also evaluated at fovea.Comparing the change of SD-OCT microstructures in two time points,the first visit after SRF absorbed and the last visit respectively.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relation between BCVA and ONL,IS,OS.Results At the first visit after SRF absorbed,compared with control eyes,the thickness of CFT (182.55 ± 24.14 μm),ONL (72.86 ± 17.39 μm),IS (41.23 ± 5.14 μm),OS (18.52 ± 10.26 μm) in CSC eyes were decreased (P< 0.001).Meanwhile,the mean BCVA of CSC eyes was 81.27± 6.39 letters,which was also significantly decreased comparing with control eyes (P< 0.001).At last visit,the thickness of CFT,ONL,IS,OS were 195.19±22.10,75.44±16.33,44.56±4.09,26.60± 11.39 μm,and the mean BCVA was 85.50±5.95 letters.All recovered significantly comparing with first visit (P<0.05).At first visit,the BCVA of patients with integrate EZ (83.38± 5.78 letters) was significantly better than the BCVA of patients with unintegrated EZ (77.90± 5.97 letters) (P=0.003).And the BCVA of patients with smooth RPE (82.72± 5.95 letter) was also significantly better than the BCVA of patients with rough RPE (78.00± 6.31 letters) (P=0.020).The result of Spearman correlation analysis showed that the thickness of OS was positively correlated to BCVA at two time points (r=0.423,0.416;P=0.002,0.002).Conclusions In CSC,the thickness of ONL,IS,OS were decreased,and the integrality of EZ,IZ,the smooth of RPE were disrupted in different extent.After laser treatment,with retinal reattachment,those microstructures including ONL,IS,OS,EZ,IZ recovered slowly.The thickness of OS,the integrality of EZ and the smooth of RPE were associated with visual acuity.
