ObjectiveTo explore the typical syndromes and their characteristic of symptoms and signs with high diagnostic value in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). MethodsTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic information was collected from 135 MS patients. Syndrome element differentiation and latent class analysis (LCA) were applied to identify the major TCM syndromes in MS patients. Symptoms were analyzed based on the differentiated syndromes, and a binary logistic regression model was constructed to determine symptoms and signs with high diagnostic value. ResultsA total of 135 MS patients were included, involving 163 symptoms and signs with a total frequency of 1749; twenty-three syndrome elements were extracted, 367 times frequency in total, among which 8 syndrome elements occurred ≥10 times with 323 frequencies (88.01% of the total). These included location-related elements such as kidney (48 times), spleen (14 times), and stomach (14 times), and nature-related elements such as phlegm (71 times), yin deficiency (64 times), dampness (57 times), heat (42 times), and qi deficiency (13 times). Based on LCA, the 135 patients were categorized into two groups distinguished by the syndrome elements of dampness and phlegm, forming the "phlegm-dampness syndrome" as the major syndrome type. Nine high-frequency symptoms and signs associated with the phlegm-dampness syndrome were identified,i.e. obesity (39 times), greasy coating (38 times), slippery pulse (33 times), white coating (31 times), preference for fatty and heavy foods (30 times), excessive urination (30 times), fatigue and lack of strength (29 times), wiry pulse (25 times), and dark red tongue (25 times). A binary logistic regression model was constructed combining these nine symptoms and signs with the LCA classification results, ultimately identifying obesity, greasy coating, fatigue and lack of strength, and white coating as independent factors associated with the phlegm-dampness syndrome in MS patients (P<0.05). ConclusionThe major TCM syndrome in MS patients is phlegm-dampness syndrome, and obesity, greasy coating, fatigue and lack of strength, and white coating are the typical symptoms and signs for diagnosing phlegm-dampness syndrome in MS patients.

Objective To study the effect of low concentrations of sodium fluoride on the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp cells(hDPCs)in vitro.Methods This study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee.hDPCs were cultured using a modified tissue explant technique in vitro.The effects of different con-centrations of sodium fluoride on the proliferation of hDPCs were measured by methylthiazol tetrazolium(MTT)assay.Appropriate concentrations were added to the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation induction medium,and the cells were induced in vitro.Alizarin red S staining was used to detect the osteoblastic/odontogenic differentiation ability of the cells,and the mRNA expression of the key differentiation factors was detected by RT-qPCR.Moreover,the expres-sion of key molecules of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The data were analyzed with the SPSS 18.0 software package.Results Low concentration of NaF(0.1 mmol/L)could stimulate cell proliferation in vitro,while a high concentration(5-10 mmol/L)could inhibit cell proliferation(P<0.05).According to the literature and the experimental data,0.1 mmol/L NaF was selected as the following experimental concentration.The levels of alizarin red S staining were increased after NaF induction of mixed osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation in vi-tro.The mRNA expression levels of key molecules for osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation,dentin sialophosphoprotein(DSPP),bone sialoprotein(BSP)and osteocalcin(OCN),were increased(P<0.05).The mRNA levels of ERS markers(splicing x-box binding protein-1(sXBP1),glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78)and activating transcription Factor 4(ATF4)were increased in NaF-treated cells.The protein expression levels of key ER stress molecules(phosphorylated RNA-activated protein kinase-like ER-resident kinase(p-PERK),phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor-2α(p-eIF2α)and ATF4)were higher in NaF-treated cells.Conclusion A low concentration of NaF promotes the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of hDPCs and increases the level of ER stress.

Objective:To identify the characteristics of the bone marrow immune microenvironment associated with long-term survival in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.Methods:In the follow-up cohort of patients with newly diagnosed MM and who received “novel agent induction therapy and subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation and immunomodulator maintenance therapy” in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, a cross-sectional study was carried out between August 2019 and May 2020. Using NanoString technology, the RNA expression of 770 bone marrow immune-related markers was compared between 16 patients who had progression-free survival ≥5 years and 5 patients with progressive disease. Among the 16 patients who achieved long-term survival, 9 achieved persistent minimal residual disease (MRD) negative while the other 7 had persistent positive MRD. The functional scores of each kind of immune cells were calculated based on the expression level of characteristic genes, so as to indirectly obtained the proportion of each immune cell subset. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal Wallis test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The proportion of neutrophils was significantly higher in long-surviving MM patients than in patients with progressive disease [functional scores, 13.61 (13.33, 14.25) vs. 12.93 (12.58, 13.38); Z=2.31, P=0.021]. Among long-surviving patients, those who were MRD-positive had a significantly greater number of mast cells compared with those who were MRD-negative [functional scores, 7.09 (6.49, 8.57) vs. 6.03 (5.18, 6.69); H=2.18, P=0.029]. Compared with patients with progressive disease, four genes (CTSG, IFIT2, S100B, and CHIT1) were significantly downregulated and six (C4B, TNFRSF17, CD70, IRF4, C2, and GAGE1) were upregulated in long-surviving patients. Among long-surviving patients, only gene CMA1 was significantly upgraded, 10 genes (ISG15, OAS3, MX1, IFIT2, DDX58, SIGLEC1, CXCL10, IL1RN, SERPING and TNFSF10) were significantly downregulated in the MRD-positive group compared with that in the MRD-negative group, the first 5 of which are related to the interferon response pathway. Conclusions:The increased neutrophil and mast cell numbers may be related to long-term survival in MM. Interferon signaling activation may be a key bone marrow immune profiling feature for MRD-negative, long-surviving patients with MM.

Objective:To explore the optimal regimen of standardized mite allergen immunotherapy for airway allergic diseases in children, and to observe the clinical efficacy, safety and compliance.Method:Use a retrospective real-world study, clinical data from 156 children aged 5-16 years who received subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) with double mite allergen preparation in the pediatrics department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University from June 2019 to September 2020 were selected for allergic rhinitis (AR) and/or allergic asthma (bronchial asthma, BA), including gender, age, total VAS(visual analogue scale) score and CSMS(combined symptom and medication scores) score at different time points (before treatment, 4-6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after initiation of desensitization), peripheral blood eosinophil counts (EOS), serum total IgE (tIgE), specific IgE (tIgE), and serum IgE (tIgE), specific IgE (sIgE), tIgG4, and incidence of local and systemic adverse reactions. All patients had a consistent regimen during the initial treatment phase (dose-escalation phase), which was performed as directed. Among them, 81 cases (observation group) continued to continue subcutaneous injection of 1 ml of vial No. 3 every 4-6 weeks during the dose maintenance phase, while 75 cases (control group) followed the old traditional regimen during the maintenance phase (i.e., change to a new vial to halve the amount of vial No. 3 by 0.5 ml, and then 0.75 ml after 1-2 weeks, and 1 ml in a further interval of 1-2 weeks). The clinical efficacy, safety and adherence to the treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 81 cases of 156 children were included in the observation group, of which 58 children with AR, 15 children with BA, and 8 children with AR combined with BA; 75 cases were included in the conventional control group, of which 52 children with AR, 16 children with BA, and 7 children with AR combined with BA. In terms of safety, the difference in the incidence of local and systemic adverse reactions between the two groups was not statistically significant ( χ2=1.541 for local adverse reactions in the control group, χ2=0.718 for the observation group; χ2=0.483 for systemic adverse reactions in the control group, χ2=0.179 for the observation group, P value >0.05 for all of these), and there were no grade Ⅱ or higher systemic adverse reactions in any of them. In the control group, there were 15 cases of dropout at 2 years of follow-up, with a dropout rate of 20.0%; in the observation group, there were 7 cases of dropout at 2 years of follow-up, with a dropout rate of 8.6%, and there was a statistically significant difference in the dropout rates of the patients in the two groups ( χ2=4.147, P<0.05). Comparison of serological indexes and efficacy (compared with baseline at 3 different time points after treatment, i.e., 4-6 months, 1 year and 2 years after treatment), CSMS scores of the observation group and the conventional control group at 4-6 months, 1 year and 2 years after treatment were significantly decreased compared with the baseline status ( t-values of the conventional group were 13.783, 20.086 and 20.384, respectively, all P-values <0.001, and t-values of the observation group were 15.480, 27.087, 28.938, all P-values <0.001), and VAS scores also decreased significantly from baseline status in both groups at 4-6 months, 1 year, and 2 years of treatment ( t-values of 14.008, 17.963, and 27.512 in the conventional control group, respectively, with all P-values <0.001, and t-values of 9.436, 13.184, and 22.377 in the observation group, respectively; all P-values <0.001). Intergroup comparisons showed no statistically significant differences in CSMS at baseline status, 4-6 months, 1 year and 2 years ( t-values 0.621, 0.473, 1.825, and 0.342, respectively, and P-values 0.536, 0.637, 0.070, and 0.733, respectively), and VAS was no statistically significant difference in comparison between groups at different time points ( t-values of 1.663, 0.095, 0.305, 0.951, P-values of 0.099, 0.925, 0.761, 0.343, respectively); suggesting that the treatment regimens of the observation group and the conventional control group were clinically effective, and that the two regimens were comparable in terms of efficacy. The peripheral blood eosinophil counts of the observation group and the conventional control group decreased significantly from the baseline status at 4-6 months, 1 year and 2 years of treatment ( t-values of the conventional group were 3.453, 5.469, 6.273, P-values <0.05, and the t-values of the observation group were 2.900, 4.575, 5.988, P-values <0.05, respectively). 4-6 months, 1 year and 2 years compared with the baseline status tIgE showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing ( t-value in the conventional group was -5.328, -4.254, -0.690, P-value was 0.000, 0.000, 0.492, respectively, and t-value in the observation group was -6.087, -5.087, -0.324, P-value was 0.000, 0.000, 0.745, respectively). However, the results of intergroup comparisons showed no statistically significant differences in serological indices and efficacy between the two groups in terms of peripheral blood eosinophil counts at baseline status, 4-6 months, 1 year and 2 years ( t-values of 0.723, 1.553, 0.766, and 0.234, respectively; P-values of 0.471, 0.122, 0.445, and 0.815, respectively), tIgE ( t-values of 0.170, -0.166, -0.449, 0.839, P-values 0.865, 0.868, 0.654, 0.403, respectively), tIgG4 ( t-values 1.507, 1.467, -0.337, 0.804, P-values 0.134, 0.145, 0.737, 0.422, respectively). Conclusion:Both immunotherapy regimens for airway allergic diseases with double mite allergen subcutaneous immunotherapy have significant clinical efficacy, low incidence of adverse reactions, and the observation group has better patient compliance than the control group.

Objective:To analyse the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical bacterial isolates in Anhui province.Methods:Surveillance data was collected from 83 members of the Anhui Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network(HuiNet)during October 2022 to September 2023,to analyze the resistance of major bacteria to commonly used antibiotics and the detection of clinically common drug-resistant bacteria. The data was analyzed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 201 647 clinical bacteria isolates were collected,with Gram-negative bacteria accounting for 74.8%(150 847/201 647). The most prevalent Gram-positive bacterial strains were Staphylococus aureus(32.8%,16 648/50 800),followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis(14.0%,7 098/50 800), Enterococcus faecalis(10.7%,5 458/50 800), Enterococcus faecium(9.1%,4 613/50 800)and Staphylococcus hominis(7.4%,3 778/50 800);the most prevalent Gram-negative bacterial strains were Escherichia coli(28.9%,43 577/150 847),followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae(22.5%,34 006/150 847), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(14.7%,22 171/150 847), Acinetobacter baumannii complex(9.4%,14 194/150 847)and Enterobacter cloacae(3.5%,5 235/150 847). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus(MRCNS)were 39.5%(6 442/16 325)and 75.7%(12 343/16 312),respectively. No vancomycin- and teicolanin-resistant Staphylococcus were detected. The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were 0.5% and 0.6%,respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae(CR-KPN)were 1.9%(805/42 956)and 11.7%(3 950/33 761),respectively. The resistance rate of CR-KPN to tigecycline was 3.9%. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CR-PAE)and Acinetobacter baumannii(CR-ABA)complex were 18.4%(3 936/21 447)and 62.9%(8 649/13 744),respectively,with low resistance rate to polycolistin B(6.9% and 1.7%,respectively). The detection rates of MRSA,CR-ABA complex,third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli(CTX/CRO-R-ECO)and quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli(QNR-ECO)in northern Anhui were the highest(50.3%,72.9%,59.2% and 55.6%,respectively),which were higher than those in central and southern Anhui( χ2=112.734 and 575.069,132.747 and 233.885,93.986 and 471.209,60.062 and 230.669,all P<0.001),and the detection rate in central Anhui was higher than that in southern Anhui( χ2=278.671,29.219,207.395 and 80.267,all P<0.001). The detection rates of CR-KPN and thirdgeneration cephalosporinresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CTX/CRO-R-KPN)in central Anhui were the highest(15.5% and 33.3%,respectively),which were higher than those in northern and southern Anhui( χ2=156.237 and 325.533,76.928 and 180.686,all P<0.001),and the detection rate in northern Anhui was higher than that in southern Anhui( χ2=32.202 and 25.539, P<0.001). The detection rates of CTX/CRO-R-ECO and QNR-ECO were the highest in the elderly(55.2% and 55.8%,respectively),which were higher than those in children,and young and middle aged adults( χ2=23.906 and 120.575,376.404 and 196.612, P<0.001). The detection rate of CTX/CRO-R-KPN in neonates was the highest(57.1%),which was significantly higher than that in children,adults and the elderly( χ2=46.141,38.843 and 32.093, P<0.001),and the detection rate in the elderly was higher than that in children and adults( χ2=13.604 and 13.471, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS were the highest in children(42.8% and 77.8%,respectively),which were higher than those in adults( χ2=21.766 and 10.704, P<0.001). Except MRSA and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and faecalis,the detection rates of major drug-resistant bacteria in tertiary hospitals were higher than those in secondary hospitals( P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusion:In 2023,the situation of antimicrobial resistance in Anhui province was serious,especially in northern and central Anhui,and targeted drug resistance control measures should be taken according to the monitoring results. At the same time,it is necessary to pay attention to the bacterial resistance in the elderly,newborns and children,and strengthen the rational use of antibiotics by clinicians to curb the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of self-management behavior in high-risk stroke patients, so as to provide a basis for improving their self-management behavior.Methods:From March to June 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 395 high-risk stroke patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University as the study subject. A survey was conducted on patients using the General Information Questionnaire, Self-management Behavior Scale for High-risk Stroke Patients, and Cerebral Apoplexy Knowledge Questionnaire. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between self-management behavior and stroke knowledge. A total of 395 questionnaires were distributed, and unqualified questionnaires (such as regular or repetitive responses, conflicting options before and after) were excluded. Finally, 387 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 97.97%.Results:The score of the Self-management Behavior Scale for High-risk Stroke Patients for 387 high-risk stroke patients was (137.60±25.47), with a score indicator of 62.53%, which was at a moderate level. The score of the Cerebral Apoplexy Knowledge Questionnaire was (19.26±10.19), which was at a low level. The random forest algorithm showed that the importance order of influencing factors was stroke knowledge, number of ways to obtain health information, educational level, number of risk factors, frequency of physical examinations, medical insurance, age, work situation, and gender. The Lasso regression indicated that there were four influencing factors corresponding to the minimum error. The top four factors in importance were included in multiple linear regression, and the results showed that educational level, number of risk factors, number of ways to obtain health information, and stroke knowledge were the influencing factors of self-management behavior in high-risk stroke patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The self-management behavior of high-risk stroke patients was at a moderate level. Medical and nursing staff should strengthen stroke knowledge education, provide personalized education for different risk factors, and improve the self-management of the target population to reduce the incidence of stroke.
