ObjectiveTo investigate the pathogenic spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of diarrheal disease in Fengxian District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of diarrheal diseases. MethodsBasic information of the initial adult cases visited diarrheal disease surveillance sentinel hospital in Fengxian District, Shanghai, was collected from August 2013 to 2023, and fecal samples were collected at 1∶5 sampling intervals to isolate and identify 5 kinds of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC), Salmonella (SAL), Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE). Simultaneously, nucleic acid detection was performed for 3 kinds of rotavirus, 2 kinds of norovirus, intestinal adenovirus, astrovirus and sapovirus. ResultsA total of 1 861 cases of newly diagnosed diarrheal disease were reported, with the peak in July to August. Additionally, 704 surveillance samples were detected, with a total positive detection rate of 50.57%. The detection rates of bacterial, viral and mixed infection were 25.14%, 21.02% and 4.40%, respectively. Among the pathogens detected, DEC accounted for the highest (17.61%, 124/704), followed by norovirus (16.48%, 116/704), rotavirus (6.39%, 45/704), SAL (5.97%, 42/704) and Campylobacter (3.84%, 27/704). DEC detected were mainly enteroaggregative Escherichia coli and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, with no detection of Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and YE. The highest total pathogen detection rate was observed from June to September, and the detection peaks of norovirus were from March to June and from October to December, whereas that of DEC was from June to October. The detection rate of rotavirus peaked from January to February, but which was not detected between 2020‒2023. The SAL positive rate peak was in September, whereas that of Campylobacter was from July to September. ConclusionThe main pathogens detected in Fengxian District from 2013‒2019 are DEC, norovirus, rotavirus, SAL and Campylobacter. Different pathogens have different detection peaks, with bacteria predominating in summer and viruses in winter and spring. Prevention and control measures should be carried out according to the epidemiological characteristics of different seasons.

Background::Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects approximately 10% of adults worldwide. CM310 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-4 receptor alpha that blocks interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 signaling. This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in Chinese adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Methods::This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial was conducted in 21 medical institutions in China from February to November 2021. Totally 120 eligible patients were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) to receive subcutaneous injections of 300 mg CM310, 150 mg CM310, or placebo every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ≥75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score from baseline at week 16. Safety and pharmacodynamics were also studied.Results::At week 16, the proportion of EASI-75 responders from baseline was significantly higher in the CM310 groups (70% [28/40] for high-dose and 65% [26/40] for low-dose) than that in the placebo group (20%[8/40]). The differences in EASI-75 response rate were 50% (high vs. placebo, 95% CI 31%–69%) and 45% (low vs. placebo, 95% CI 26%–64%), with both P values <0.0001. CM310 at both doses also significantly improved the EASI score, Investigator’s Global Assessment score, daily peak pruritus Numerical Rating Scale, AD-affected body surface area, and Dermatology Life Quality Index compared with placebo. CM310 treatment reduced levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, total immunoglobulin E, lactate dehydrogenase, and blood eosinophils. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar among all three groups, with the most common TEAEs reported being upper respiratory tract infection, atopic dermatitis, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia. No severe adverse events were deemed to be attributed to CM310. Conclusion::CM310 at 150 mg and 300 mg every 2 weeks demonstrated significant efficacy and was well-tolerated in adults with moderate-to-severe AD.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805411.

Objective To propose a topology-optimized design method for bone plates that effectively reduces stress concentration and improves bone healing compared with traditional topology-optimized method.Methods Based on the load constraints of a bone plate in a broken bone-splint system,an improved topology optimization method based on the load path was used to optimize the design of the bone plate structure.Subsequently,a bone regeneration simulation model based on bias strain was used to simulate the transverse fracture of the tibial tuberosity,and the force state,fixation stability,and healing performance of the optimized plate were evaluated based on data from the bone regeneration process.Results Using the optimized bone plate based on the load path optimization method,the maximum stresses of the bone plate were 55.68 MPa and 42.23 MPa at volume fractions f=0.55 and 0.65,respectively,which were reduced by 32.96％and 29.95％,respectively,compared with the optimized bone plate using the traditional topology optimization method.The average elastic moduli of the callus after the bone-healing process were 1 439.47 MPa and 1 355.71 MPa,respectively.These values were 145.86％and 131.06％higher than those of traditional bone plates,respectively.Conclusions In this study,the proposed improved topology optimization method based on the load path was used to optimize bone-plate structures.Compared to the bone plate obtained using the traditional topology optimization method,the optimized bone plate was more uniformly loaded and safer.The bone-healing performance was significantly improved compared to the traditional bone plate.These results provide a new method for the optimal design of internal fixation implants for fractures.

OBJECTIVE To establish the analysis methods of 33 banned pesticides in Ginkgo Biloba leaves and the extracts, and conduct the risk assessment study. METHODS One hundred and thirty-six batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves and 58 batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves extract were detected by UPLC-MS and GC-MS. The acute and chronic intake risk of pesticide residues in samples were calculated by point assessment method, and the risk scores of the pesticides were calculated by the Britain veterinary residues matrix ranking. RESULTS Six kinds of banned pesticides were detected in 136 batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves, the total detection rate was 35.29%, and the detection amount was 0.002−0.210 mg·kg−1. The chronic dietary intake risk was 0.018%−0.620%, and the acute dietary intake risk was 0.000 1%−0.014 0%, indicated that the dietary exposure risk of pesticides in Ginkgo biloba leaves was at a low level. Two kinds of banned pesticides were detected in 58 batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves extract, the detection rate was 55.17%, and the detection amount was 0.002−1.788 mg·kg−1. The percentage of acceptable daily intake was 0.003%−0.143%, and the percentage of acute reference dose was 0.002 4%, which was also at a low level. Risk ranking results indicated that the risk of phorate was the highest and should be focused on the production and safety supervision. CONCLUSION The method has good stability, high precision and promising repeatability, which can be used for the detection of 33 prohibited pesticides in Ginkgo biloba leaves and their extracts. The results show that the residual amounts of 33 banned pesticides in Ginkgo Biloba leaves and its extracts were extremely low, and there is no significant health risks.

To investigate the role of the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich-repeat-contai-ning family member X1(NLRX1)in the replication of Newcastle disease virus(NDV),the ex-pression level of NLRX1 was examined following infection of 10-day-old specific pathogen-free(SPF)chicks and HD11 cells with the NDV NA-1 strain.Additionally,the proliferation of NDV,the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in HD11 cells,and the oxidative stress status were e-valuated in the presence of either overexpressed or underexpressed NLRX1.The results demonstra-ted that NA-1 infection led to an increase in NLRX1 expression both in vivo and in vitro.Further-more,overexpression of NLRX1 inhibited viral proliferation,enhanced the expression of cellularIL-1β,IL-6,and IFN-β,without affecting levels of autophagy or apoptotic cells.However,NLRX1 elevation resulted in elevated mRNA levels of iNOS,Keap1,Nrf2,NQO1,and HO-1 within 24 h.In conclusion,NLRX1 suppresses NDV proliferation by promoting early ROS production.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative electroacupuncture intervention in promoting postoperative gastrointestinal functional recovery by meta-analysis.Methods The databases of PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP,and WanFang were searched systematically.The search period ranged from the inception of the databases to March 2024.Two researchers screened the literature independently,extracted the data,used Cochrane Risk of Bias tools to evaluate the quality of the inclusion study,and used RevMan 5.3 software for meta-analysis.Results Twelve RCTs were included,with 773 patients.There were 421 patients in the preoperative electroacupuncture group and 352 patients in the control group.The results of the meta-analysis showed that,time to first flatus(SMD=-0.56,95%CI-0.84 to-0.28,P＜0.001),time to first defecation(MD=-6.40 hours,95%CI-9.27 to-3.53,P＜0.001),time to bowel sound recovery(MD=-8.45 hours,95%CI-10.37 to-6.52,P＜0.001),time to first oral feeding(MD=-16.88 hours,95%CI-23.92 to-9.83,P＜0.001),the incidence of PONV(RR=0.75,95%CI 0.57 to 0.98,P=0.04)and length of hospital stay(MD=-0.78 d,95%CI-1.38 to-0.19,P=0.010)were significantly lower than the control group.Conclusion Electroacupuncture intervention before operation can effectively promote the recovery of post-operative exhaust,defecation,and bowel sound,shorten the time of fasting and drinking,reduce the inci-dence of PONV,shorten the length of hospital stay,and has good clinical value in promoting the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective To compare image quality of turbo spin echo(TSE)diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and echo planar imaging(EPI)DTI for displaying temporal lobe radiation encephalopathy(REP).Methods Thirty nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with suspected REP disease progression were prospectively enrolled.Subjective evaluation of image sharpness,susceptibility artifacts and deformation of TSE-DTI and EPI-DTI was performed using a 5-point scale,while objective evaluation aimed on the mean diffusion coefficient(MD),fractional anisotropic(FA),signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)and distortion ratio(DR)were carried on.Results The susceptibility artifacts and deformation scores of TSE-DTI were higher than that of EPI-DTI(P＜0.001).FA of REP edge and normal brain tissue were lower than those of EPI-DTI,with SNR and CNR higher than those of EPI-DTI(both P＜0.001).DR of REP lesions and bilateral temporal lobes were lower than those of EPI-DTI(all P＜0.001).Conclusion Compared with EPI-DTI,TSE-DTI could significantly improve image quality for displaying REP by reducing susceptibility artifacts and deformation of images.

The clinical practice guidelines for prevention and treatment of postoperative gastrointestinal disorder with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (2023) issued by the Anaesthesia Committee and Perioperative Medicine Committee of the Chinese Society of Integrative Medicine is the first evidence-based guideline for postoperative gastrointestinal disorder in China.
