ObjectiveTo investigate vitamin D level in children with cholestatic liver disease， and to provide a theoretical basis for vitamin D supplementation therapy in children with this disease. MethodsA total of 116 children with cholestatic liver disease who attended Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine， Beijing Children’s Hospital， Capital Medical University， for the first time from January 2022 to January 2024 were enrolled and divided into groups for comparison based on sex， age， vitamin D supplementation dose， course of the disease， and etiology. The data on the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D （25-OH-D） and related biochemical parameters were collected to assess the correlation between vitamin D level and biochemical parameters. The chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups， and the Spearman rank correlation test was used for correlation analysis. ResultsAmong the 116 children， 76 （65.5%） had vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. The children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 65.7% （46/70） among boys and 65.2% （30/46） among girls， with no significant difference between boys and girls （χ²=0.003， P=0.956）. The children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 83.3% （25/30） among the children who had never received vitamin D supplementation， 58.7% （27/46） among the children with a daily supplementation dose of 500 IU， 64.3% （18/28） among the children with a daily supplementation dose of 700 IU， and 50.0% （6/12） among the children with a daily supplementation dose of>700 IU， and there was no significant difference between these groups （χ²=6.460， P=0.091）. Comparison between the groups with different etiologies showed that the children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 57.7% （15/26） in the infectious disease group， 66.7% （10/15） in the inherited metabolic disease group， 66.7% （6/9） in the drug-induced liver injury group， 100.0% （8/8） in the group with abnormal structure of the biliary system， and 63.8% （37/58） in the group with unknown etiology， and there was no significant difference between these groups （χ²=5.304， P=0.252）. Comparison between the groups with different courses of the disease showed that the children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency accounted for 78.4% （29/37） in the<1 month group， 54.3% （25/46） in the 1‍ — ‍3 months group， 53.3% （8/15） in the 3‍ — ‍6 months group， and 77.8% （14/18） in the>6 months group， with no significant difference between these groups （χ²=7.432， P=0.059）. Comparison between different age groups showed that compared with the infant group， the children group had a significantly higher proportion of children with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency （χ²=9.504， P=0.018）. The correlation analysis showed that serum aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase had no significant correlation with 25-OH-D （P>0.05）； serum alkaline phosphatase （ALP） （r=-0.286， P=0.002）， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT） （r=-0.248， P=0.007）， total bilirubin （TBil） （r=-0.353， P<0.001）， direct bilirubin （DBil） （r=-0.299， P=0.001）， and total bile acid （r=-0.236， P=0.011） were negatively correlated with 25-OH-D， while serum calcium （r=0.263， P=0.004） and phosphorus （r=0.385， P<0.001） were positively correlated with 25-OH-D. ConclusionMost children with cholestatic liver disease have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency， and the increase in serum ALP， GGT， TBil， DBil or total bile acid and the reduction in calcium or phosphorus may suggest vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.

Chemotherapy is one of the major approaches for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer, although it is limited by the low tumor delivery efficacy of anticancer drugs. Bacterial therapy is emerging for cancer treatment due to its high immune stimulation effect; however, excessively generated immunogenicity will cause serious inflammatory response syndrome. Here, we prepared cancer cell membrane-coated liposomal paclitaxel-loaded bacterial ghosts (LP@BG@CCM) by layer-by-layer encapsulation for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer. The preparation processes were simple, only involving film formation, electroporation, and pore extrusion. LP@BG@CCM owned much higher 4T1 cancer cell toxicity than LP@BG due to its faster fusion with cancer cells. In the 4T1 breast cancer metastatic lung cancer mouse models, the remarkably higher lung targeting of intravenously injected LP@BG@CCM was observed with the almost normalized lung appearance, the reduced lung weight, the clear lung tissue structure, and the enhanced cancer cell apoptosis compared to its precursors. Moreover, several major immune factors were improved after administration of LP@BG@CCM, including the CD4⁺/CD8a⁺ T cells in the spleen and the TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-4 in the lung. LP@BG@CCM exhibits the optimal synergistic chemo-immunotherapy, which is a promising medication for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer.

In order to understand the current status of the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) about prevention and control of COVID -19 in college students, and to provide theoretical basis for prevention and control work in college campus. This study investigated the KAP of COVID -19 of 1 847 college students in Shaanxi province by questionnaire using the convenience sampling method. Chisquare test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors for the KAP of COVID -19. The results demonstrated that 48.3% of the students had a higher knowledge level of COVID -19, 11.7% had a fear attitude and 39.6% had good protective practices. Logistic regression results showed that female and urban household college students had higher cognitive level of COVID -19. The college students with anxiety state were more likely to have fear attitude. Students of female, urban household, anxiety, higher cognition and fear attitude showed better protective practices. The above results indicated that the knowledge level of COVID -19 in college students are not enough, and the attitude and protective practices need to be further improved. Therefore, relevant departments should follow the rules of KAP, carry out targeted propaganda and education on COVID -19 for college students, to improve their ability to cope with public health emergencies.

Apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter （ASBT） is a key transporter responsible for intestinal reabsorption of bile acid and plays an important role in maintaining bile acid and cholesterol homeostasis， and its expression is regulated by various factors including transcription factors， nuclear receptors， and intestinal microflora. The abnormal expression and function of ASBT can lead to disorders in the metabolism of bile acid and cholesterol， causing a variety of hepatobiliary diseases. At present， ASBT has attracted wide attention as a therapeutic target. This article elaborates on the biological characteristics and expression regulation mechanism of ASBT and reviews the role of ASBT in hepatobiliary diseases， in order to provide a new direction for the treatment of related diseases.

Objective To analyze the mutation of common driver genes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in eastern Henan Province.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 661 patients with NSCLC admitted to the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu city from March 2022 to July 2023.Five kinds of gene mutation detection kits(fluorescent PCR)were used for gene detection in all enrolled patients.The relationship between the clinical features and the status of each driver gene was analyzed by statistical methods.Results In the 661 patients with NSCLC,the mutation rates of EGFR,KRAS,ALK,ROS1,PIK3CA,BRAF,HER2,RET,MET14 and NRAS were 47.35%,9.68%,5.45%,1.82%,2.87%,1.82%,1.21%,0.91%,0.61%and 0%.Mutations in EGFR,ROS1 and HER2 were more likely to occur in women(P<0.05),while KRAS mutations were more common in men(P<0.05).The mutation rates of EGFR,KRAS and ALK in adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than that in squamous cell carcinoma and NSCLC.NOS(P<0.05),and the mutation rate of PIK3CA in NSCLC.NOS was the highest.The mutation rate of KRAS gene in stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ(P<0.05),and there was no significant correlation between other genes and clinical stage.Compared with smokers,the mutation rate of total driver gene was significantly higher in non-smokers(P<0.05).EGFR,ALK,PIK3CA,ROS1,BRAF and HER2 were more common in non-smokers(P<0.05),while KRAS gene was more common in smokers(P<0.05).The mutation rate of 10 driver genes in sediment cell block samples was 78.67%,and the detection rate was significantly higher than that in other types of samples(P<0.05).Conclusion Com-mon driver genes such as EGFR,KRAS and ALK are correlated with gender,pathological type,clinical stage and smoking.Qualified samples of sediment cells have obvious advantages for gene detection and could be widely pro-moted in patients.ARMS-PCR combined detection of 10 genes could be used as the preferred gene detection method for newly diagnosed and treated NSCLC patients.

BACKGROUND:Combined radiation and wound injury appeared mainly in patients with tumor radiotherapy and nuclear radiation accidents.The radiation destroys the repair mechanism,resulting in delayed or prolonged wound healing.It still lacks an effective therapeutic strategy currently. OBJECTIVE:To prepare multifunctional wound dressings based on the multiple clinical symptoms of combined radiation and wound injury,which are designed to be antibacteria,promoted healing and analgesics. METHODS:Using levofloxacin,fibroin and lidocaine hydrochloride as raw materials,3D bioprinting technology was applied to prepare the multifunctional wound dressing.(1)The multifunctional dressing was placed on a fixed culture plate coated with Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and incubated at 37 ℃ overnight to detect the diameter of the antibacterial zone.(2)40 Kunming mice were randomly divided into trauma group,radiation and trauma model group,treatment group and positive drug group,with 10 mice in each group.Mice in the radiation and trauma model group,treatment group and positive drug group were irradiated by 60Co gamma rays.After 1 hour of radiation,a full-layer skin defect wound with a diameter of 1 cm was made on the back of each mouse in the four groups.Normal saline was applied to the wounds of the trauma group and the radiation and trauma model group.Trethanolamine cream was applied to the wounds of the positive drug group.Multifunctional dressing was applied to the wounds of the treatment group.The dressing was changed every 2 days,and the treatment was continued for 14 days.Wound healing rate and serum interleukin-6 level were measured at 3,7 and 14 days after wound modeling.14 days after the wound modeling,the skin tissue of the wound was obtained and received hematoxylin-eosin staining,Masson staining and cytokeratin-14 immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)3D-printed multifunctional wound dressing had good antibacterial activity.The antibacterial zone diameters against Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were(4.15±0.09),(4.18±0.23)and(4.35±0.13)cm,respectively.(2)With the extension of modeling time,the wound healed gradually.The wound healing rate of the treatment group and the positive drug group was higher than that of the radiation and trauma model group at 3,7 and 14 days after modeling(P<0.01,P<0.001).The wound healing rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the positive drug group.With the extension of modeling time,the serum interleukin level of mice increased first and then decreased.The serum interleukin level in the treatment group at 3,7 and 14 days after modeling was lower than that in the radiation and trauma model group.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining exhibited that inflammatory cells infiltrated the granuloma tissue in the trauma group,and the dermal collagen fibers were densely arranged.The normal structure of epidermis and dermis was destroyed and inflammatory cells were infiltrated in the radiation and trauma model group.In the treatment group,normal skin mucosal tissue was observed,the epidermis was arranged closely,and the sweat glands,hair follicles and dermal collagen fibers were arranged regularly.In the positive drug group,the arrangement of epidermal layer was tight,and the arrangement of sweat glands,hair follicles and dermal collagen fibers was regular.Cytokeratin-14 immunohistochemical staining displayed that the epidermal tissue thickness in the treatment group was lower than that in the other three groups(P<0.01,P<0.001).(3)The results confirm that the 3D-printed multifunctional dressing has multiple functions of local anesthesia,anti-infection and promoting healing.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of probiotics combined with bismuth quadruple therapy （BQT） on clinical efficacy、gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora in Helicobacter pylori （HP） positive patients. MethodsThe patients who were positive for HP from May 2023 to July 2023 in the department of gastroenterology of Shanghai first people's hospital were randomly divided into2 groups with 40 people in each group. The probiotic group was given 2 weeks of quadruple therapy with probiotics and standard BQT， followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotics after quadruple discontinuation. The placebo group was given 2 weeks of probiotic placebo and standard BQT， followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotic placebo. ¹³C urea breath test was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy， gastrointestinal symptoms rating Scale was used to evaluate the gastrointestinal adverse reactions of patients before and after the intervention， and microbial diversity 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to detect the level of intestinal flora of patients before and after the intervention. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the eradication rate between the two groups （P>0.05）. Before the intervention， there was no significant difference in the scores of the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale between the probiotic group and the placebo group. After the intervention， patients in the probiotic group had significantly lower pain scores on acid reflux （1.10±0.30 vs 1.35±0.53， P<0.05） and stomach or abdominal hunger than in the placebo group （1.07±0.26 vs 1.30±0.52， P<0.05）. Through the before-and-after comparison of the probiotic group， the scores of abdominal pain （1.24±0.44 vs 1.58±0.71， P<0.05）， stomach or abdominal hunger （1.07±0.26 vs 1.27±0.45， P<0.05） and dry and hard stool （1.24±0.49 vs 1.48±0.75，P<0.05） were significantly lower in the probiotic group than before the intervention in the probiotic group. ConclusionProbiotics combined with BQT can improve the gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora disorders in the process of quadruple drug therapy， but it does not improve the eradication rate of HP.

Objective: To construct a prediction model for preeclampsia (PE) risk in twin-pregnant women, so as to provide the basis for early screening and prevention of PE. Methods: A total of 467 twin-pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination and delivered at Huzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected. Sixty cases with preeclampsia (PE) were included in the case group, and 60 women without PE were included in the control group. General information, blood biochemical indicators and uterine artery resistance index (UtA-RI) were collected. A logistic regression model was used to screen predictive factors and establish a nomogram. The Bootstrap method was performed for the internal validation; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis were employed to evaluate the discrimination, calibration and clinical utility of the nomogram, respectively. Results: In the case group, there were 47 individuals (78.33%) aged younger than 35 years, 21 individuals (35.00%) with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 and above, and 33 individuals (55.00%) with in vitro fertilization. In the control group, there were 57 individuals (95.00%) aged younger than 35 years, 8 individuals (13.33%) with pre-pregnancy BMI of 25 kg/m2 and above, and 39 individuals (65.00%) with natural pregnancy. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age, pre-pregnancy BMI, method of conception, placental growth factor (PLGF) and UtA-RI as risk prediction factors for PE in twin-pregnant women. The established nomogram had an area under the ROC curve of 0.827 (95%CI: 0.755-0.899), a sensitivity of 0.767, a specificity of 0.733, a good discrimination and calibration, and a relatively high clinical net benefit. Conclusion The nomogram established by age, pre-pregnancy BMI, method of conception, PLGF and UtA-RI has a good predictive value for the risk of PE in twin-pregnant women.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin combined with indobufen in the treatment of elderly patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) complicated with large atheromatous ischemic stroke (LAA-IS) during convalescence.Methods:The clinical data of 102 elderly patients with DKD complicated with LAA-IS during convalescence from September 2018 to April 2022 in Baoding Second Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 51 patients were treated with atorvastatin combined with indobufen (observation group), 51 patients were treated with atorvastatin combined with aspirin (control group), and both groups were treated continuously for 6 months. The prethrombotic state indexes, neurological function and quality of daily life, carotid artery ultrasound indexes, renal fibrosis indexes before treatment and after treatment were compared between two group. The prethrombotic state indexes included arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) induction platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen (FIB), protein C; the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to evaluate the neurological function, and the modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to evaluate the quality of daily life; carotid artery ultrasound indexes included carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and maximum plaque area; the renal fibrosis indexes included transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), hyaluronic acid and platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). The adverse reactions were recorded. Results:There were no statistical differences in the all indexes before treatment between two groups ( P>0.05). In two groups, compared before treatment, the AA induction platelet aggregation rate, ADP induction platelet aggregation rate, FIB, NIHSS score, IMT and maximum plaque area after treatment were significantly lower, the protein C and MBI score were significantly higher, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); but there were no statistical differences after treatment between two groups ( P>0.05). The TGF-β 1, MMP-9, hyaluronic acid and PDGF-BB after treatment in two groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the indexes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (39.46 ± 6.89) μg/L vs. (45.04 ± 8.20) μg/L, (278.46 ± 49.39) μg/L vs. (327.30 ± 57.28) μg/L, (102.37 ± 20.62) μg/L vs. (116.84 ± 24.97) μg/L vs. (25.26 ± 4.45) μg/L vs. (28.13 ± 5.08) μg/L, with statistically significant differences( P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 7.84% (4/51) vs. 23.53% (12/51), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with atorvastatin combined with aspirin, atorvastatin combined with indobufen in elderly patients with DKD complicated with LAA-IS during convalescence has the same effect in improving the related indicators of prethrombotic state, reducing neurological function deficit, improving the ability of daily living, and reversing carotid atherosclerosis. However, atorvastatin combined with indobufen can further protect renal function with higher safety.
