Doctor-patient communication not only depends on the medical group but is also affected by the patient group and the specific situation. Effective doctor-patient communication requires the doctors to improve their communication skills, the patients to have relevant knowledge regarding a certain symptom or disease, and mutual trust between the doctor and patient. The information ecology theory mainly analyzes the relationships between various ecological elements and the ecological development mechanisms in the process of information activities from the perspective of the ecosystem, as well as attaches importance to the mutual influences and roles of information subjects and objects, information contents, information environment, and information technology within the system, which is consistent with the influencing factors of doctor-patient communication. Based on the information ecology theory, this paper analyzed the new problems faced by doctor-patient communication under the information technology environment from the four dimensions, including information subjects and objects, information itself, information context, and information technology. It was proposed that effective doctor-patient communication required to re-examine the influencing factors of doctor-patient communication, as well as construct a doctor-patient community, including a community of knowledge, communication, emotion, and interest, so that the four factors of doctor-patient communication can form a new balance in the dynamic development, with a view to providing practical guidance for doctor-patient trust and effective doctor-patient communication.

Objective:To analyze the changing trends of the epidemic characteristics of human brucellosis in Hangzhou City, and to provide a basis for further formulating prevention and control measures.Methods:The epidemic data of brucellosis in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2021 were collected from the "China Disease Control and Prevention Information System" and the annual reports, compilations and summaries of prevention and control work of brucellosis in Hangzhou City, and the epidemiological characteristics and trends of brucellosis cases in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2009, 2010 to 2015, and 2016 to 2021 were compared and analyzed.Results:A total of 186 cases of brucellosis were diagnosed in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2021, with an average annual incidence rate of 0.151/100 000, ranging from 0.016/100 000 to 0.286/100 000. The incidence rate showed a stage-by-stage upward trend from 2004 to 2009, 2010 to 2015, and 2016 to 2021 ( Z = 3.15, P = 0.002). The age of onset of brucellosis cases was predominantly 18 - 60 years old, accounting for 78.49% (146/186). The male-to-female ratio was 2.10∶1.00 (126∶60). The occupational and non-occupational populations accounted for 62.90% (117/186) and 37.10% (69/186), respectively, with the proportion of non-occupational cases in the three stages being 28.57%, 23.29% and 51.76%, showing an increasing trend (χ 2trend = 9.85, P = 0.002). The regional distribution was dominated by Yuhang District, accounting for 55.91% (104/186), followed by Jianggan District (9.14%, 17/186) and Fuyang District (7.53%, 14/186). The number of brucellosis epidemic counties (cities, districts) increased from 6 to 9. The seasonal analysis showed that the proportion of cases from January to June decreased from 84.93% (23/28) from 2004 to 2009 to 54.12% (46/85) from 2016 to 2021. The proportion of infection from outside the province in the three stages was 0, 10.96% and 27.38%, respectively, showing an upward trend (χ 2trend = 18.16, P < 0.001), the main infected areas were Henan Province, Heilongjiang Province, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In clinical symptoms and signs, the incidence of muscle and joint pain and low back pain increased from 60.71% (17/28) and 10.71% (3/28) from 2004 to 2009, respectively, to 83.53% (71/85) and 25.88% (22/85) from 2016 to 2021, both showing an upward trend (χ 2trend = 9.92, 4.67, P = 0.002, 0.031). Conclusions:The incidence of human brucellosis in Hangzhou City is on the rise, and the number of cases of non-occupational population has increased significantly in recent years. The sheep breeding places have gradually become the high incidence areas of brucellosis in Hangzhou City. It is recommended to strengthen the promotion and education of knowledge on brucellosis prevention among the general public, and focus on actively monitoring human brucellosis in high-risk areas.

Progressive myoclonic epilepsies (PMEs) are a group of rare genetic diseases. Common clinical manifestations include action myoclonus often with generalized tonic-clonic seizures, cognitive impairment and other focal neurological deficits. PMEs generally respond poorly to antiseizure drugs and have a poor overall prognosis. Disorders that can cause PMEs include Unverricht-Lundborg disease, Lafora disease, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, myoclonic epilepsy with fragmented red fiber syndrome, sialic acidosis, dentate erythronucleus pallidus Lewy body atrophy, etc. The current treatments for PMEs include drug therapy, neuromodulatory therapy, dietary therapy, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapy, enzyme replacement therapy and gene therapy. This article reviews the currently known treatments for PMEs, and provides ideas for better research and exploration of treatments for PMEs.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning and the differences in the severity of poisoning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2020. The general information, exposure time, poisoning dose, poisoning cause, poisoning route, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results during hospitalization, treatment measures, hospital stays and prognosis of the patients were collected. The patients were graded according to the poisoning severity scoring standard of Chinese Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Poisoning in 2016. The highest severity score during hospitalization was used as the final grade. According to the final grade, asymptomatic and mild patients were included in the mild group, and moderate, severe and death patients were included in the severe group. The independent sample T test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurement data, and χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used for counting data. The differences of general data and clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 83 patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning were selected as the study subjects. All patients survived, mainly mild poisoning (56.6%), with a male to female ratio of 33∶50, and an average age of 39 years. The number of poisoning cases increased yearly (the highest in 2019), and most cases occurred in spring and summer. The main cause of poisoning was suicide (71.1%), direct oral administration (83.1%) was the primary route of poisoning, and the dominating clinical manifestations were digestive symptoms (71.1%). Laboratory tests showed increased white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NEUT %) and D-dimer, and decreased hemoglobin and potassium. Compared with the mild group, patients in the severe group were older [(51±17) years vs. (35±19) years], had a higher proportion of suicide and direct oral administration, a longer hospital stay [8.0 (4.8, 12.0) d vs. 3.0 (2.0, 5.5) d], a higher dose of poisoning [200.0 (50.0, 200.0) mL vs. 30.0 (11.3, 57.5) mL], and higher NEUT % within 24 h of admission [(83.4±10.4) vs. (73.2±12.8)]. The increase of WBC, NEUT %, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin time, D-dimer and the decrease of serum potassium were more common in the severe group than the mild group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning is increasing yearly. Generally, the condition is mild and the prognosis is satisfying. The severity is more serious in the middle-aged and elderly patients andthose with direct oral administration, high toxic dose, and high NEUT % within 24 h of admission. Severe poisoning is more likely to cause changes in laboratory indicators.

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the post-elimination control strategy for malaria in Hangzhou City.
Methods:
The epidemic situation of malaria in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2021 were collected from the National Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in China, and the temporal, spatial and human distributions of malaria cases and the source of malaria infections were analyzed in Hangzhou City during the pre-elimination stage (2004 to 2009), the elimination stage (2010 to 2015) and the post-elimination stage (2016 to 2021).
Results:
Totally 602 malaria cases were reported in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2021,and the annual mean incidence of malaria was 0.22/105, 0.20/105 and 0.18/105 during the pre-elimination, elimination and post-elimination stages, appearing a tendency towards a decline. Men accounted for 63.96%, 85.07% and 93.75% of all malaria cases and there were 67.86%, 82.84% and 80.00% of cases at ages of 18 to 50 years during the pre-elimination, elimination and post-elimination stages, both appearing a tendency towards a decline (χ2trend=56.748, P<0.001; χ2trend=39.971, P<0.001). The predominant occupation of malaria cases shifted from farmers or migrant workers to multiple occupations, and the proportion of commercial servants increased from 4.87% during the pre-elimination stage to 24.38% during the post-elimination stage (χ2trend=73.308, P<0.001). The proportion of Plasmodium vivax malaria cases reduced from 96.43% during the pre-elimination stage to 7.50% during the post-elimination stage, and the proportion of P. falciparum malaria cases increased from 3.57% to 71.25%, while P. ovale, P. malariae and mixed infections were identified since 2010. There was a significant season-specific incidence of P. vivax malaria during the pre-elimination stage, and the period between May and October was an epidemic season; however, there was no season-specific incidence of P. vivax malaria during the elimination and post-elimination stages. The regional distribution of malaria cases presented a tendency towards a shift from suburb and rural areas to urban areas (χ2trend=74.229, P<0.001). No local cases were detected in Hangzhou City since 2010, and 94.22% of malaria cases were overseas imported cases after malaria elimination, including 90.61% from Africa.
Conclusions
oung and middle-aged men were high-risk populations for malaria in Hangzhou City from 2004 to 2021, and overseas commercial servants gradually became the predominant source of malaria infections, with malaria parasite species tending to be diverse. Improving the management of overseas imported cases and timely identification and treatment of cases are major interventions to consolidate malaria elimination achievements in Hangzhou City.

OBJECTIVE To explore the discrimination of processing degree of Zingiber officinale charcoal and the correlation between color and component content based on machine vision system, and provide reference for quality evaluation and processing degree control of Z. officinale charcoal. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography method was used to determine the contents of 5 components in Z. officinale charcoal and its different processed products, such as 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, 6-shogaol, gingerone. Machine vision system was used to obtain the image of the decoction pieces and extract the color features of the decoction pieces in RGB, L*a*b* and HSV color spaces. Machine learning methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and support vector machine (SVM), were used to establish qualitative identification model for Z. officinale charcoal processed products of different processing degree. The correlation between the color eigenvalues and the contents of measured 5 components were analyzed, and the color- component content prediction model was established.RESULTS With the deepening of processing, gingerone was produced after processing and the content firstly increased and then decreased, and the content of gingerone in standard carbon was the highest; the contents of 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol decreased gradually; the content of 6-shogaol increased firstly and then decreased. The prediction accuracy of qualitative discriminant model, which was established on the basis of objective quantization of image and color combined with LDA and SVM of supervised discriminant pattern recognition method, reached 100% in cross-validation training and 95.83% in the external validation. Content prediction model of 5 components was established on the basis of objective quantization of image and color combined with SVM, the RPD values were all greater than 2, the R2P and R2C values of gingerone were 0.633 9 and 0.683 3, and the values of other components were all greater than 0.75, indicating SVM had good prediction ability for the contents of 4 components except for gingerone. CONCLUSIONS The machine vision system is excellent for the discrimination of the processing degree of Z. officinale charcoal and the content prediction, which can provide a reference for the quality control of Z. officinale charcoal decoction pieces and the judgment of the processing degree.

Objective:To explore the reproducibility of ultrasound measurements of children′s anterior, middle and posterior diaphragm motions.Methods:Thirty children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit were positioned supine and a 5MHz ultrasound probe was placed over the intersection of their right midclavicular line with the costal margin. M-mode ultrasound was used to record the excursion and contraction velocity of the anterior, middle and posterior diaphragm during respiration. The observations were duplicated so the repeatability of the measurements could be evaluated using intra-group correlation coefficients calculated for the diaphragm excursions and the contraction velocities. Analysis of variance was used to explore the differences in excursion and contraction velocity among different parts of the diaphragm.Results:The intra-group correlation coefficients calculated for the anterior, middle and posterior diaphragm were 0.89, 0.95 and 0.90 respectively. The corresponding values for the contraction velocities were 0.90, 0.94 and 0.95 respectively. Both variables measured by ultrasound showed high repeatability. The average anterior, middle and posterior diaphragm excursion values (in mm) were 8.1±3.1, 7.4±3.0 and 5.5±2.3, and the corresponding average contraction velocities (in mm/s) were 12.5±4.8, 11.5±6.3 and 8.9±4.0.Conclusions:Measurements of children′s diaphragm motions using ultrasound show high repeatability. The excursions and contraction velocities of the anterior, middle and posterior diaphragm differ in children. The motion of one part of the diaphragm cannot represent the functioning of the entire diaphragm.

Refined-JQ (JQ-R) is a mixture of refined extracts from(Ranunculaceae),(Leguminosae) and(Caprifoliaceae), the three major herbs of JinQi-JiangTang tablet, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. The mechanisms by which JQ-R regulates glucose metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity were studied in type 2 diabetic KKmice and insulin-resistant L6 myotubes. To investigate the mechanisms by which JQ-R improves insulin sensitivity, a model of insulin-resistant cells induced with palmitic acid (PA) was established in L6 myotubes. Glucose uptake and expression of factors involved in insulin signaling, stress, and inflammatory pathways were detected by immunoblotting. JQ-R showed beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance in a euglycemic clamp experiment and decreased fasting insulin levels in diabetic KKmice. JQ-R also improved the plasma lipid profiles. JQ-R directly increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels in insulin-resistant L6 cells, and elevated the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake with upregulated phosphorylation of AKT. The phosphorylation levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B p65), inhibitor of NF-B (IB), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1/2) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) were also changed after JQ-R treatment compared with the control group. Together these findings suggest that JQ-R improved glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic KKmice. JQ-R directly enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in insulin-resistant myotubes with improved insulin signalling and inflammatory response and oxidative stress. JQ-R could be a candidate to achieve improved glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
