Objective:This study aimed to analyze the genomic characteristics of Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) strains circulating in Jilin province from 2010 to 2023.Methods:Vesicle fluid from 78 sporadic cases with VZV infection were collected in Jilin province from 2010 to 2023, after detecting by Real-time PCR, 26 specimens (CT<25) were detected by PCR. Open reading frame 22(ORF22), ORF38 and ORF62 were amplified and analyzed. Genotyping was confirmed by SNPs ORF22 (37902, 38019, 38055, 38081 and 38177) and ORF38 (69424). Vaccine strains were indentified from wild-type strains according to ORF38 (69349) and ORF62 (106262, 107252, and 108111). Sequences were analyzed by homologous comparison and phylogenetic analysis.Results:The comparison with Dumas sequence revealed that SNPs (37902, 38055, 38081 and 38177) in ORF22 and ORF38 (69424) have mutations similar to the pOka strain, which belong to clade 2. Compared to the Dumas and Baike strains, all 26 samples were wild-type strains. JL2016-4 strain changes from threonine to asparaginyl at position 38059, JL2021-4 strain changes from arginine to proline at position 37933, from aspartic acid to tyrosine at position 37935, and from aspartic acid at base 38031 to tyrosine. JL2023-1 strain changes from arginine to leucine at position 37933.Conclusions:VZV has been prevalent for 14 years in Jilin province. The main epidemic strains belong to the clade 2. We should strengthen the monitoring of VZV outbreaks and raise the coverage rate of VZV vaccination.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic digestive system disease in clinic. The disease is repeated and difficult to treat, and the pathogenesis is complex, which is related to oxidative stress response. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important factor in antioxidant reaction, which regulates the expression of downstream heme oxygen-1 (HO-1), and plays a role in maintaining redox homeostasis. In the course of UC, the biological activity and content of Nrf2 and HO-1 are decreased, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities of tissues are weakened, the intestinal epithelial cells are damaged, and the intestinal mucosal barrier is destroyed. At present, western medicine mainly focuses on controlling inflammation and alleviating symptoms in clinical treatment. Although it has a certain effect, there are many problems such as easy recurrence after drug withdrawal and long-term side effects. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine has rich and flexible therapeutic methods and has broad application prospects in the prevention and treatment of UC. In recent years, with Nrf2/HO-1 pathway as the entry point, a large number of basic and clinical experiments on this signal in UC have been carried out in the field of Chinese medicine, and the results show that the intervention of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is an important potential target for the treatment of UC by Chinese medicines. Based on the etiology and pathogenesis of deficiency-excess in complexity, Chinese medicine regulates Nrf2/HO-1 pathway by clearing heat and detoxifying dampness, activating blood circulation to remove stasis and relieve pain, invigorating Qi, tonifying middle, and warming interior, and treating both symptoms and root causes, to improve the tissue's ability to resist oxidative stress, maintain the balance between pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors, relieve inflammatory response, and play a therapeutic role in UC. This paper summarized and analyzed the effect of Chinese medicine targeting the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway on interfering with UC and its mechanism. The purpose of this study is to provide references for researchers to have a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of Chinese medicines in the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in UC and promote the rational application of Chinese medicines in the prevention and treatment of UC in the future.

【Objective】 To evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasma-derived human coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) in the treatment of patients with hemophilia A. 【Methods】 A multi-center and open, SAT(single-arm trials) clinical study was conducted. A total of 54 subjects with hemophilia A were enrolled in 5 research centers. FⅧ was injected according to the subjects' weight, severity of disease and other factors, and the transfusion efficiency of FⅧ activity at 10 min after the first infusion of the first bleeding event was taken as the main efficacy indexes. The improvement scores of bleeding symptoms and signs within 24 h after the first infusion of the first bleeding event were the secondary efficacy indexes. The pathogenic microbial indexes and FⅧ inhibitors were detected on 90(th) and 180(th) day after treatment. 【Results】 The transfusion efficiency of FⅧ activity of 54 subjects at 10 min after the first infusion was 171.9% on average, with median of 169.5%, both higher than the target value of 100%. Within 24 h after the first infusion, the improvement of bleeding symptoms and signs of the subjects were scored, among which 19 cases (35.2%) were "obvious", 35 cases (64.8%) were "good", and the total clinical effective rate reached 100%. Five subjects (9.3%) had six drug-related adverse events. On 90(th) and 180(th) day after treatment, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, HIV antibody, treponema pallidum antibody and FⅧ inhibitors were detected, and no negative to positive cases were found. 【Conclusion】 After infusion, the FⅧ preparation can significantly improve the FⅧ activity level in hemophilia A patients in a short period of time, which has high infusion efficiency and can achieve better treatment efficacy, and can also effectively control and relieve bleeding symptoms and signs, with good overall safety.

Objective:To asscentain the 131I activity concentration in 131I treatment workplaces and to explore the method of estimating the internal dose to workers by air sampling and to analyze its influencing factors. Methods:Air sampling method was used to collect aerosols containing radioactivity in 10 randomly selected workplaces in Zhengzhou where 131I therapy was performed. Aactivity concentration of 131I in treatment workplace was measured for gamma emitters by gamma-ray spectrometry. The internal dose due to 131I inhalation was estimated based on measurement result and field investigation result. Results:The activity concentration of 131I in air samples from 19 subpacking rooms ranged from 0.087 to 570 Bq/m 3, with an average of (51.04 ± 128.58) Bq/m 3. Those from 11 wards ranged from 0.162 to 54.6 Bq/m 3, with an average of (7.97 ± 15.89) Bq/m 3. In terms of the work hours recommended by the national standard GBZ 129-2016 Specifications for individual monitoring of occupational internal exposure, the estimated annual effective dose to radiation workers due to the inhalation of 131I ranges from 0.002 to 10 mSv, with an average of (0.61 ± 1.80) mSv, below the dose limit specified in the national standards. Conclusions:The samples with high 131I activity concentration in nuclear medicine workplaces of 10 medical institutions selected in Zhengzhou are mostly distributed in tertiary class hospitals operating large amount of radionuclide with large numbers of thyroid cancer patients adimitted. The result ing internal dose to radiation workers cannot be ignored. Estimating the internal dose based on the measurement result of air samples has a large uncertainty.However, air sampling method can promptly detect radioactive contamination in case of abnormal events or accidents, providing early warning for workers to carry out dose measurement from external exposure and internal exposure assessment.

Huangqintang comes from Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases (《伤寒论》) and is regarded as the traditional prescription for treating dysentery. It is composed of four herbs: Radix Scutellariae, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Fructus Jujubae and Radix Glycyrrhizae, with the effect of clearing heat and stopping dysentery, and is a classic prescription for clinical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Both experimental research and clinical practice show Huangqintang has the characteristics of multiple pathways and multiple targets in treating UC. At present, research on the mechanism of Huangqintang in the treatment of UC mainly focuses on reducing intestinal inflammation, repairing epithelial cell barrier, improving microflora disorder, maintaining immune balance, relieving oxidative stress, regulating mitochondrial autophagy, and inhibiting cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis. In clinical application, Huangqintang and its modified prescription combined with conventional western medicine have a clear effect on UC, which can significantly alleviate abdominal pain, diarrhea, purulent bloody stool and other symptoms, effectively control the condition and improve the quality of life of patients, with few adverse reactions and high safety. However, the experimental methods and research programs of Huangqintang in treating UC need to be further improved, and the related mechanisms need to be further studied. Through retrieval and sorting of relevant literature, this paper systematically summarized and comprehensively analyzed the mechanism and clinical research results of Huangqintang in treating UC in recent years, and proposed suggestions on the shortcomings in order to provide theoretical and data support for the further application of Huangqintang. This had practical guiding significance for interpreting the connotation of Huangqintang and clinical scientific application.
