Objective:To analyze serum inflammatory factors associated with antihistamine resistance in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) .Methods:A total of 88 CSU patients were enrolled from Guangzhou Dermatology Hospital from January 2022 to December 2024. All patients received antihistamine treatment according to the "Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of urticaria in China (2022) " . Based on the 7-day urticaria activity score (UAS7) after 4-week treatment, these patients were divided into an antihistamine-sensitive group and an antihistamine-resistant group. Serum levels of inflammatory factors at the initial visit were analyzed using the Olink-targeted proteomics technology. Specific biomarkers associated with antihistamine resistance were identified, and Spearman correlation analysis was carried out to analyze correlations among differentially expressed proteins. A logistic regression model was constructed based on the Olink proteomics data, and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (lower quartile, upper quartile) .Results:The 88 CSU patients aged 12 to 81 (38.78 ± 13.89) years, with the disease duration being 18 (7.00, 60.00) months. There were 32 patients in the antihistamine-sensitive group and 56 in the antihistamine-resistant group. No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of age, disease duration, gender, or history of allergic diseases (all P > 0.05) . After 4 weeks of antihistamine treatment, the UAS7 score was significantly higher in the antihistamine-resistant group (25.00 [15.25, 31.00] points) than in the antihistamine-sensitive group (0.50 [0.00, 4.00] points; Z = -7.08, P < 0.001) . The Olink-targeted proteomics identified 5 differentially expressed proteins between the two groups: compared with the antihistamine-sensitive group, the antihistamine-resistant group showed > 2-fold higher expression of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) , interleukin-15 receptor subunit alpha (IL-15RA) , eotaxin (CCL11) , and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) ; in contrast, the expression of sulfotransferase 1A1 (ST1A1) in the antihistamine-sensitive group was 2.54 times that in the antihistamine-resistant group. Among the differentially expressed proteins, MCP-1 showed the highest specificity (1.00) for predicting antihistamine resistance, followed by CCL11 (0.97) . Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between MCP-1 and CCL11, and a significant negative correlation between IL-15RA and ST1A1. ROC curve analysis showed that MCP-1 and CCL11 had area under the curve values of 0.603 and 0.630, respectively, in predicting antihistamine resistance. Conclusion:MCP-1 and CCL11 may be potential biomarkers for predicting antihistamine resistance in CSU patients.

Zhishi Shaoyaosan is the 34^th prescription in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas （Second Batch） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2023. It is widely used in clinical practice and has a definite curative effect. However， there is currently a lack of its ancient literature analysis and textual research， and there is no corresponding Chinese patent medicine preparation. By consulting and combing the relevant ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine， this paper analyzes and conducts textual research of the origin， composition， measurement， administration， and efficacy of Zhishi Shaoyaosan. The results show that Zhishi Shaoyaosan is derived from Essentials from the Golden Cabinet written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is mainly recorded in the name of Zhishi Shaoyaosan in the literature of the past dynasties. The prescription is composed of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Paeoniae Radix Alba. The processing method is stir-frying Aurantii Fructus Immaturus to scorch and using raw Paeoniae Radix Alba. The dose of the prescription recorded in the ancient books is mainly an equal amount of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Paeoniae Radix Alba in one square-cun spoon， taken three times a day， which is converted into a modern dose of 1.5 g each time （0.75 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and 0.75 g Paeoniae Radix Alba each time）. The components of the prescription are ground into powder and taken with barley porridge， three times a day. The efficacy is to break stagnated Qi， harmonize blood， and relieve restlessness and pain. It is mainly used to treat postpartum abdominal pain， acute pelvic inflammatory disease， acute cholecystitis and intestinal diseases， stroke sequelae， and other diseases. This study combs and analyzes the ancient literature recording Zhishi Shaoyaosan and clarifies the key information of the prescription， which provides a basis for promoting the research and development of its patent medicine.

Objective:To explore the current situation and influencing factors of anxiety before early orthodontic treatment for malocclusion in school-age children.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 124 school-aged children who underwent early orthodontic treatment for malocclusion at the Hospital of Stomatology, Wenzhou Medical University from October 2023 to October 2024 as study subjects. The Chinese Version of the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (Cm-YPAS) was used to assess pre-treatment anxiety in pediatric patients, while the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale was employed to evaluate parental anxiety, and patient general information was collected. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate factors influencing anxiety before early orthodontic treatment in school-age children.Results:The Cm-YPAS scores for 124 school-aged children undergoing early orthodontic treatment were (45.76±7.42), with a pre-treatment anxiety incidence of 54.84% (68/124). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, oral treatment experience, educational background, and parental anxiety score were the influencing factors of anxiety before early orthodontic treatment in school-age children ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of pre-treatment anxiety is relatively high among school-age children undergoing early orthodontic treatment. Appropriate nursing interventions should be implemented based on influencing factors to alleviate the pre-treatment anxiety of children.

This study aims to obtain two whole-genome sequences of enzootic nasal tumor virus of goats(ENTV-2)from Anhui Province and analyzed the genetic diversity of ENTV-2 gene.Nasal secretion samples and blood samples of six goats with enzootic nasal adenocarcinoma(ENA)were collected from a goat farm in Anhui Province.The total RNA was extracted by the TRIzol method.The DNA interference was removed by the two-step reverse transcription.The ENTV-2 was detec-ted by PCR.Then,two positive samples were selected and five pairs of primers were used to ampli-fy the whole-genome sequences of ENTV-2.After sequencing and splicing,two sequences were up-loaded to the database for comparative analysis with the sequences in the NCBI database.Finally,the genetic evolution tree was constructed.ENTV-2 was detected in the nasal secretion samples,but not in the blood of the six ENA goats.The ENTV-2 genes were approximately 7 400 bp in length,named ENTV-2AH1(DDBJ accession no.:LC762616)and ENTV-2AH2(DDBJ accession no.:LC762617),respectively.Two sequences showed 99.2％and 99.1％homology with the Fujian strain(ENTV-2FJ)and Guangxi strain(ENTV-2-DA0),respectively.They were in the same evo-lutionary branch.In this study,two whole-genome sequences of ENTV-2 were obtained in Anhui for the first time,which can help to further study the genetic diversity of ENTV-2 in China.

Infant tachycardia is a critical disease, mainly with supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.The treatment of tachycardia in infant is quite different from that of older children, and there is no relevant guidelines at present.Drug therapy in the acute stage of supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fluttery is mainly intravenous adenosine injection.Digoxin is widely used in neonates.Propranolol is the first choice for prophylactic treatment, and landilolol is in the development stage.Ventricular tachycardia can be spontaneously subsided, the treatment is dominated by intravenous lidocaine.For non-drug therapy, heart cardioerter is the emergency treatment for serious rapid arrhythmia.Radiofrequency ablation is used in infants with more severe conditions and where the onset of tachycardia can not be controlled.Bury cardioverter-defibrillator is effective in preventing infant ion channel disease complicated with malignant ventricular tachycardia induced sudden cardiac death.Subcutaneous implantion of a defibrillator may be superior to intravenous implantation in infants and young children.

Objective To analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Hunan Province from 2016 to 2020. Methods The data of HFMD in Hunan Province from 2016 to 2020 were collected from China's Disease Prevention and Control Information System. HFMD spatial autocorrelation analysis was conducted by ArcGIS 10.2 software at county level, and spatial-temporal scan statistical analysis was performed by SaTScan 9.7 software. Results A total of 714 157 cases was reported in Hunan Province during 2016-2020, with an average annual incidence rate of 208.36/100 000. Global spatial autocorrelation showed that HFMD had a positive spatial correlation on the county scale in Hunan Province during this period. Local spatial autocorrelation indicated that the hot spots were mainly concentrated in the north of central Hunan, the east of central Hunan and the west of Hunan. Spatial-temporal scanning analysis revealed the first class clusters (RR = 6.65, P< 0.001) covering 34 counties in northern and central Hunan, mainly distributed in Yueyang City, Changsha City, Zhuzhou City, Yiyang City and Xiangtan City from May 2018 to June, and the second class clusters (RR = 3.02, P < 0.001) covering 40 counties in western Hunan and central and southwest Hunan from April 2016 to June 2016. Conclusion HFMD incidence exhibits seasonal and regional characteristics in Hunan Province. The prevention and control of HFMD should be guided by combining the characteristics of spatial-temporal clustering.

DNA is a biological polymer that encodes and stores genetic information in all living organism. Particularly, the precise nucleobase pairing inside DNA is exploited for the self-assembling of nanostructures with defined size, shape and functionality. These DNA nanostructures are known as framework nucleic acids (FNAs) for their skeleton-like features. Recently, FNAs have been explored in various fields ranging from physics, chemistry to biology. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent progress of FNAs in a pharmaceutical perspective. We summarize the advantages and applications of FNAs for drug discovery, drug delivery and drug analysis. We further discuss the drawbacks of FNAs and provide an outlook on the pharmaceutical research direction of FNAs in the future.

Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a cytosolic DNA sensor which is regarded as a potential target for antitumor immunotherapy. However, clinical trials of STING agonists display limited anti-tumor effects and dose-dependent side-effects like inflammatory damage and cell toxicity. Here, we showed that tetrahedral DNA nanostructures (TDNs) actively enter macrophages to promote STING activation and M1 polarization in a size-dependent manner, and synergized with Mn²⁺ to enhance the expressions of IFN-β and iNOS, as well as the co-stimulatory molecules for antigen presentation. Moreover, to reduce the cytotoxicity of Mn²⁺, we constructed a TDN-MnO₂ complex and found that it displayed a much higher efficacy than TDN plus Mn²⁺ to initiate macrophage activation and anti-tumor response both in vitro and in vivo. Together, our studies explored a novel immune activation effect of TDN in cancer therapy and its synergistic therapeutic outcomes with MnO₂. These findings provide new therapeutic opportunities for cancer therapy.
