ObjectiveTo construct a macro-evaluation tool for dampness syndrome （DS） animal model， which will provide a basis for experimental research on dampness syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. MethodsConceptual framework of this study was clarified through discussions within the core working group， and dimensions of the evaluation of the animal model of DS were identified according to TCM principles. We searched CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and SinoMed databases from the inception to June 30th， 2023， on experiments involving dampness syndrome animals to create a pool of items about DS animal models. The core items were selected and extracted for factor analysis and cluster analysis. An expert importance rating questionnaire was developed based on the results of the literature review， analyzing the distribution of item scores， importance averages， and coefficient of variation. Through a comprehensive analysis of literature， expert importance scoring， and specific expert opinions， items that did not meet anyone of the criteria of average importance rating ≥2.04， coefficient of variation ≤30%， or literature eva-luation frequency ≥2% were removed， thereafter， the macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model was preliminarily constructed. ResultsSpirit and body state， autonomic activity state， body surface characteristics， diet， urination and defecation， tongue manifestation， and motor behavior assessment were constructed as the seven dimensions in the evaluation of DS animal model. A total of 348 papers about animal experiments were included and analyzed， resulting in a saturated pool of 72 items， which was refined to 38 core items of DS animal models. Factor analysis obtained 16 common factors， which were further clustered into two categories， named dampness transforming from heat syndrome and dampness transforming from cold syndrome. The expert importance scoring showed that the Kendall harmony coefficient was 0.359 （P＜0.05） indicating a high level of agreement， coordination and reliability among the experts. Notably， 50% or more of the experts considered the items thick and greasy tongue coating， unclean perianal area， loose stools， lethargy， unformed stools， and listless expression as very important. The median scores for all items were 2.04（1.73， 2.37）， with a coefficient of variation ranging from 19.73% to 53.38%. After expert evaluation， the macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model in TCM with 33 items and corresponding criteria for assessing the formation of DS models was finally contructed. ConclusionThe Macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model in TCM is highly scientific， credible， and operable， and can be utilized in DS animal experiments after its characteristics are actually evaluated.

Objective:To investigate the differences between the expression levels of ribosomal protein L32 (RPL32) in human breast cancer tissue and normal breast tissue and the effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells.Methods:Paraffin samples of breast cancer tissues and adjacent tissues (more than 3 cm from the tumor margin) were collected from 56 breast cancer patients in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu City from July 2020 to May 2022. The expression of RPL32 in 56 breast cancer patients and their corresponding paracancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. MCF7 cells were divided into experimental group (ribosomal protein L32, RPL32) and control group (negative control, NC). MCF7 cells in experimental group were transfected with RPL32-siRNA vector, while MCF7 cells in control group were transfected with scramble siRNA vector. RPL32 mRNA content in each group was detected by RT-PCR. The expressions of RPL32 and P53 in the experimental group and control group were detected by western blot. The proliferative ability of cells in each group was detected by CCK8 assay. The clonogenesis ability of each group of cells was detected by clone formation experiment.Results:The positive rate of RPL32 in breast cancer patients was 8.93% (5/56), and the expression rate of RPL32 in paracancer tissues was 78.57% (44/56). The expression rate of RPL32 in breast cancer patients was significantly higher than that in paracancer tissues, with statistical significance ( P=0.007). After transfection with siRNA vector, the mRNA content of RPL32 in MCF7 cells of experimental group and control group decreased, and the protein expression level of RPL32 was 1.09±0.21 and 0.40±0.11, respectively. The expression levels of P53 protein were 1.24±0.32 and 0.37±0.09, respectively. The absorbance of CCK8 at 120 h was 1.11±0.24 and 2.19±0.28, respectively, and the proliferation ability of MCF7 cells in the experimental group was significantly decreased ( P=0.043). The results of clone formation experiment showed that the cell clone formation rate of the experimental group and the control group was (21.11±3.46) % and (58.75±4.29) %, respectively, and the cell clone formation of the experimental group was decreased ( P=0.026) . Conclusions:The expression of RPL32 is significantly increased in breast cancer, which may be related to the malignant degree of breast cancer. Inhibition of RPL32 expression in breast cancer cells affects its proliferation ability.

ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of O₃ pollution on outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in a district of Shanghai. MethodsWe collected the respiratory disease outpatient data， and atmospheric and meteorological data of from a suburban general hospital in Shanghai from 2015 to 2017. A time-series analysis by generalized additive model was conducted to examine the relationship between O₃ pollution and daily outpatient visits. ResultsThe daily outpatient volume for respiratory diseases was 831. The daily 8 h median concentration of O₃ was 101.04 μg·m^-3. The excess relative risk was 0.461% （95%CI： 0.240%‒0.682%） at lag3. Stratified by gender and age， females， child and the aged had higher risk of respiratory diseases. In the double-pollutant model， PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ increased health effects， while CO reduced health effects. ConclusionThe increase of O₃ concentration can increase the daily outpatient volume of respiratory diseases.

Background Air quality health index (AQHI) has been widely used to quantify the health effects of multiple pollutants observed in population-based epidemiological studies, and can better reflect the widespread linear non-threshold between air pollution and health effects. Objective To explore an AQHI for pediatric respiratory diseases (AQHI_r) in Shanghai and evaluate its feasibility. Methods The daily numbers of hospital outpatient visits for pediatric respiratory diseases from 2015 to 2019 were obtained from five general hospitals in Xuhui, Baoshan, Hongkou, Jinshan, and Chongming Districts of Shanghai. Monitoring data on air pollutants (PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, NO₂, and O₃), air quality index (AQI), and meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and wind speed) were collected from five air quality monitoring sites nearest to selected hospitals. Time-series analysis using generalized additive model (GAM) was conducted to estimate the associations between respiratory-related pediatric outpatient visits and the concentrations of air pollutants. The sum of excess risk (ER) of hospital outpatient visits was used to construct AQHI_r. To assess the predictive power of AQHI_r, the associations of AQHI_r and AQI with the number of pediatric respiratory outpatient visits in three hospitals in Xuhui, Hongkou, and Chongming districts were compared. Results Air pollutants had various effects on respiratory diseases outpatient visits. PM_2.5, NO₂, and O₃ had most significant impacts on lag0 day and the associated ERs of hospital outpatient visits for each 10 μg·m⁻³ increase in pollutant concentration were 1.27% (95%CI: 0.88%-1.66%), 0.75% (95%CI: 0.40%-1.11%), and 0.36% (95%CI: 0.10%-0.62%), respectively. PM₁₀ and SO₂ had most significant impacts on lag3 day and the associated ERs of hospital outpatient visits for each 10 μg·m⁻³ increase in pollutant concentration were 0.81% (95%CI: 0.51%-1.12%) and 5.64% (95%CI: 3.37%-7.96%), respectively. There were significant effects of combinations of two pollutants among PM_2.5, PM₁₀, NO₂, SO₂, and O₃ except for PM₁₀+NO₂, SO₂+PM_2.5, and SO₂+NO₂ (P<0.05). According to the results of single-pollutant and two-pollutant models, PM_2.5, NO₂, SO₂, and O₃ were selected to construct AQHI_r. The comparison showed that for every interquartile range increase in AQHI_r, the ER for pediatric outpatient visits was higher than that for the value corresponding to AQI. Conclusion Air pollutants in Shanghai have an impact on the number of pediatric respiratory outpatient visits. The AQHI_r based on and outpatient visits for pediatric respiratory diseases can be a sensitive index to predict the effects of air pollution on children's respiratory health.

Objective: To explore the status of PM 2.5 pollution in school classrooms and the student exposure level, and to provide basic data to safeguard the health of students. Methods: This study continuously monitored the PM 2.5 levels of 16 naturally ventilated classrooms in eight primary and secondary schools in Jiamusi for one academic year using an online environmental monitoring instrument. At the same time, outdoor PM 2.5 data was captured for comparative research, and student exposure to PM 2.5 during school hours was evaluated. Results: The average concentration of PM 2.5 in the classroom in the spring and autumn semesters was (26.93±24.7) and (31.85±30.37)μg/m 3, respectively, and the indoor/outdoor ratio ( I/O ) was 0.92 and 0.95, respectively, which indicated a strong correlation between them. The daily average concentration of all classrooms during both semesters was ( 28.93 ±26.85)μg/m 3, which was slightly higher than the average concentration of (27.53±26.53)μg/m 3 during the daytime when students were in school. In addition, the concentration on workdays was higher than that observed on weekends, and this was termed the "weekend effect". The indoor PM 2.5 concentration was lower on higher floors. The comprehensive exposure concentration of students during school was 28.48 μg/m 3 in spring semester and 31.87 μg/m 3 in autumn semester. Conclusion PM 2.5 levels in the classrooms varied according to time, the horizontal space, and the vertical space, and the level of indoor PM 2.5 pollution largely depended on outdoor pollution sources. Differences in PM 2.5 exposure were observed between.

Objective To observe the effects of stress treatment for different time on autonomic behaviors and spatial learning-memory abilities of rats and to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Chaihu Shugan San(CSS). Methods Seventy-five 8-week-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model control group, and low-, middle-, and high- dose CSS groups, 15 rats in each group. Chronic multi-stress model was set up. The rat body weight in various groups was measured. The autonomic behaviors of rats were observed by open field test, and the abilities of spatial learning-memory of rats were examined by Morris water maze test. Results (1)On modeling day 20, 30, the model control group had lighter body weight than the blank control group (P < 0.01); the middle-, high- dose CSS groups had higher body weight than the model control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) , and the high-dose CSS group had the highest body weight, the difference being insignificant compared with the blank control group (P > 0.05). (2)Open field test results showed as follows:Compared with the blank control group, the total distance and central-area distance were shortened (P < 0.01) and the average speed was decreased(P < 0.01) in the model control group at different modeling time points, the effect being positively correlated with the modeling time; compared with the model control group, the total distance and central-area distance were prolonged(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) and the average speed was increased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) in the low-, middle-, and high- dose CSS groups at different modeling time points, and the therapeutic efficacy of high- dose CSS group was approach to the blank control group. (3)Morris water maze test results showed as follows: Compared with blank control group, the average latent period was prolonged and the times of platform crossing were decreased in the model control group (P < 0.01); compared with the model control group, the average potential time was shortened and the times of platform crossing were increased in the middle- and high-dose CSS groups (P<0.01), the efficacy being not significantly different from that of the blank control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion The chronic stress may decrease the excitability, reduce autonomic behaviors, and injure spatial learning and memory abilities of rats, the effect being positively correlated with the modeling time. And CSS has an effect on improving the above indexes, in particular the middle-and high-dose of CSS.

Objective To study the relationships between neutralizing antibody response against heterologous virus and disease progression in Chinese HIV-1 B'/C infected individuals. Methods Plasmas from HIV-1-infected individuals, grouped as HIV chronically infected or AIDS according to CD4+ count and clinical symptom, were tested for neutralizing activity against the three HIV-1 isolates with very low homology in vitro. Six two-fold dilutions of each plasma sample (from 1/10 to 1/320) were tested against each virus from the panel. Giving a 50% reduction in p24Ag compared with normal human plasma control wells was defined as positive. The breadth of the cross-neutralizing response was defined based on the number of viruses that were effectively neutralized by any given patient-derived plasma sample. The magnitude of the crossneutralizing response was defined based on the average neutralizing titer against all heterologous viruses. Resuits We found that there revealed a significant difference between HIV chronically infected and AIDS group in the breaths and magnitudes of neutralizing heterologous virus. There was higher prevalence for the frequency of neutralizing heterologous virus in HIV chronically infected than AIDS. The results showed that there was positive correlation between the breadths and magnitudes of neutralizing response against heterologous virus and the plasma HIV RNA level in HIV chronically infected group, while not in AIDS group. There was no association between the breadth of the neutralizing responses against heterologous virus and CD4 T cell counts. Conclusion The capacity of neutralizing antibodies against heterologous virus varied among different disease stage. There were higher titers of neutralizing antibodies in HIV chronically infected than AIDS group. The loss of neutralizing antibodies in plasma from AIDS group appears to be associated with a narrowing of the antibody response during disease progression. These suggest that the presence of neutralizing antibodies against hetreologous virus was associated with disease progression.
