In 2022, Hainan provincial government launched the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis with the goals of a hepatitis B screening rate of 90%, a diagnostic rate of 90%, and a treatment rate of 80% among people aged 18 years and above by the year 2025, and the main intervention measures include population-based prevention, case screening, antiviral therapy, and health management. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 6.875 million individuals in the general population had been screened for hepatitis B, with a screening rate of 95.6%. A total of 184 710 individuals with positive HBsAg were identified, among whom 156 772 were diagnosed through serological reexamination, resulting in a diagnostic rate of 84.9%. A total of 50 742 patients with chronic hepatitis B were identified, among whom 42 921 had hepatitis B-specific health records established for health management, with a file establishment rate of 84.6%. A total of 31 553 individuals received antiviral therapy, with a treatment rate of 62.2%. A total of 2.503 million individuals at a high risk of hepatitis C were screened, among whom 4 870 tested positive for HCV antibody and 3 858 underwent HCV RNA testing, resulting in a diagnostic rate of 79.2%, and 1 824 individuals with positive HCV RNA were identified, among whom 1 194 received antiviral therapy, with a treatment rate of 65.5%. In addition, 159 301 individuals with negative HBsAg and anti-HBs and an age of 20 — 40 years were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine free of charge. Through the implementation of the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis, a large number of hepatitis patients have been identified, treated, and managed in the province within a short period of time, which significantly accelerates the efforts to eliminate the crisis of viral hepatitis.

OBJECTIVE To study the improvement effects of poria acid on insulin resistance in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its mechanism. METHODS One hundred and twenty-six female rats were randomly separated into blank group, PCOS group, poria acid low-dose group (8.33 mg/kg), pachymic acid high-dose group (33.32 mg/kg), ethinylestradiol cyproterone group (positive control group, 0.34 mg/kg), recombinant rat high mobility group protein B1 protein (rHMGB1) group (8 μg/kg), and poria acid high dose+rHMGB1 group (33.32 mg/kg poria acid+8 μg/kg rHMGB1), with 18 rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the rats in all other groups were given Letrozole suspension intragastrically to construct the PCOS model. After successful modeling, administration was performed once a day for 4 weeks. After medication, the fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin levels, and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were measured in rats; the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (T) in rat serum, and the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) in ovarian tissue were detected; ovarian coefficients of rats were calculated; the pathological changes of ovarian tissue were observed; the expressions of HMGB1, receptor for advanced glycosylation elaine_ tanghong@sina.com end product (RAGE) and phosphorylated nuclear factor κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) proteins were determined in ovarian tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with the blank group, the pathological injury of ovarian tissue of rats in the PCOS group was serious, the levels of fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and ovarian coefficient were increased, the levels of serum LH and T were increased, while the levels of FSH were decreased; the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE and p-NF-κB p65 protein in ovarian tissue were increased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared with the PCOS group, pathological damage of ovarian tissue was reduced in poria acid low-dose and high-dose groups and ethinylestradiol cyproterone group, and fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin levels, HOMA-IR and ovarian coefficient were decreased; serum LH and T levels were decreased, while FSH levels were increased; the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α and the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE and p-NF-κB p65 protein in ovarian tissue were decreased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The trend of corresponding indexes in rHMGB1 group was opposite to the above (P<0.05). Compared with poria acid high-dose group, the changes of the above indexes were reversed significantly in poria acid high-dose+rHMGB1 group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Poria acid may improve insulin resistance and inhibit inflammatory reaction in PCOS rats by inhibiting HMGB1/ RAGE pathway.

Objective:To establish a Plaque-reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) for the detection of neutralizing antibody titers of Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV) and optimize the conditions for preliminary application.Methods:The CHO expression system was used to produce palivizumab monoclonal antibody (palivizumab) and the influencing factors such as cell type, cell culture duration, fixation and permeabilization protocols, and blocking agents. The reproducibility of the method was verified and its correlation was verified with conventional PRNT. Finally, the optimized PRNT assay was further used to determine neutralizing antibody titers against HRSV subtypes A and B in BALB/c mouse serum (immunized by intramuscular injection of HRSV fusion proteins).Results:Palivizumab was expressed at approximately 50 mg/L. The optimal working conditions for PRNT were as follows: culturing HEp-2 cells for 2 days, fixing with 4% (V/V) paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 15 min followed by 0.2% (V/V) Triton X-100 permeabilization for 15 minutes as the optimal fixation-permeabilization and removing the blocking step. The overall coefficient of variation (CV) for the reproducibility validation of this method was <15%, showing a good linear relationship with the conventional PRNT. The Spearman correlation coefficient r s was 0.983. This method was used to detect neutralizing antibody titers in mouse sera against HRSV subtype A strain long and subtype B strain 9320, and the fusion proteins combined with AlOH and CpG adjuvant induced the highest neutralizing antibody titers in mice. Conclusion:The HRSV neutralizing antibody assay established in this study is rapid, reproducible, high-throughput, and can be used to detect neutralizing antibodies to HRSV subtypes A and B.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of SLCO1B1/ SLCO1B3 gene variants among children with Rotor syndrome (RS). Methods:Four children who were admitted to the Department of Hepatology of Hunan Children′s Hospital between January 2019 and January 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Trio-whole exome sequencing was carried out for the four families, and gel electrophoresis was used to verify an insertional variant of long-interspersed element-1 (LINE-1).Results:Genetic testing has identified three variants of the SLCO1B1 gene, including c. 1738C>T (p.R580*), c. 757C>T (p.R253*) and c. 1622A>C (p.Q541P), and two variants of the SLCO1B3 gene, including c. 481+ 22insLINE-1 and c. 1747+ 1G>A among the children. Three of them were found to harbor homozygous variants of the SLCO1B1/ SLCO1B3 genes, and one has harbored compound heterozygous variants. Sanger sequencing confirmed the existence of all variants, and gel electrophoresis has confirmed the existence of the LINE-1 insertional variant of about 6 kb within intron 6 of the SLCO1B3 gene in all children. Conclusion:The pathogenesis of the RS among the four children may be attributed to the variants of the SLCO1B1/ SLCO1B3 genes. The LINE-1 insertion variant of the SLCO1B3 gene may be common among Chinese RS patients.

Primary multiple pulmonary nodules have a high incidence,and the size and number of pulmonary nodules on computed tomography images increase with time.Postoperative pathology of multiple pulmonary nodules shows chronic inflammation,adenomatoid change,carcinoma in situ,microinvasive carcinoma,infiltrating carcinoma,and other forms.There is a possibility of"inflammation-cancer transformation"in multiple pulmonary nodules with prolonged time and external irritation.The accumulation of dampness phlegm and blood stasis is the basis of the theory of"inflammation-cancer transformation."Healthy qi deficiency is the key to the"inflammation-cancer transformation."Qi and yang deficiency are the root cause of healthy qi depletion.Emotional depression,dampness,phlegm,and blood stasis transforming into toxins provide the impetus for"inflammation-cancer transformation."There are struggle between healthy qi and evil qi,and waxing and waning of dampness,phlegm and blood stasis in the process of"inflammation-cancer transformation."The dampness phlegm and blood stasis will increase when evil qi increases and healthy qi decreases.In contrast,the size,number,and malignancy of nodules will increase during healthy qi deficiency,showing a dynamic shift from inflammation to atypical adenomatous hyperplasia to cancer.The dampness phlegm and blood stasis will be absorbed as the healthy qi increases and evil qi decreases so that lung cancer can be reversed.External irritation,such as acute inflammatory stimulation,may accelerate the transformation of"inflammation-cancer"in multiple pulmonary nodules.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting delayed chemotherapy in children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their influence on prognosis.Methods:Retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 591 children aged ≤18 years with BL from May 2017 to December 2022 in China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL) was collected. The patients were treated according to the protocol CNCL-BL-2017. According to the clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimen was divided into group A, group B and group C .Based on whether the total chemotherapy time was delayed, patients were divided into two groups: the delayed chemotherapy group and the non-delayed chemotherapy group. Based on the total delayed time of chemotherapy, patients in group C were divided into non-delayed chemotherapy group, 1-7 days delayed group and more than 7 days delayed group. Relationships between delayed chemotherapy and gender, age, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy, bone marrow involvement, disease group (B/C group), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 4 times than normal, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy, minimal residual disease in the interim assessment, and severe infection (including severe pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, chickenpox, etc.) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to identify the relevant factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patients' survival information. Log-Rank was used for comparison between groups.Results:Among 591 patients, 504 were males and 87 were females, the follow-up time was 34.8 (18.6,50.1) months. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (92.5±1.1)%,and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (90.5±1.2)%. Seventy-three (12.4%) patients were in delayed chemotherapy group and 518 (87.6%) patients were in non-delayed chemotherapy group. The reasons for chemotherapy delay included 72 cases (98.6%) of severe infection, 65 cases (89.0%) of bone marrow suppression, 35 cases (47.9%) of organ dysfunction, 22 cases (30.1%) of tumor lysis syndrome,etc. There were 7 cases of chemotherapy delay in group B, which were seen in COPADM (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone+daunorubicin+methotrexate+intrathecal injection,4 cases) and CYM (methotrexate+cytarabine+intrathecal injection,3 cases) stages. There were 66 cases of chemotherapy delay in group C, which were common in COPADM (28 cases) and CYVE 1 (low dose cytarabine+high dose cytarabine+etoposide+methotrexate, 12 cases) stages. Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the age over 10 years old ( OR=0.54,95% CI 0.30-0.93), tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy ( OR=0.48,95% CI 0.27-0.84) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy ( OR=0.55,95% CI 0.33-0.91)were independent risk factors for chemotherapy delay.The 3-year OS rate and the 3-year EFS rate of children with Burkitt lymphoma in the delayed chemotherapy group were lower than those in the non-delayed chemotherapy group ((79.4±4.9)% vs. (94.2±1.1)%, (80.2±4.8)% vs. (92.0±1.2)%,both P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate of the group C with chemotherapy delay >7 days (42 cases) was lower than that of the group with chemotherapy delay of 1-7 days (22 cases) and the non-delay group (399 cases) ((76.7±6.9)% vs. (81.8±8.2)% vs. (92.7±1.3)%, P=0.002).The 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (9 cases) in the COP (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone) phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (454 cases) ((66.7±15.7)% vs. (91.3±1.4)%, P=0.005). Similarly, the 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (11 cases) in the COPADM1 phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (452 cases) ((63.6±14.5)% vs. (91.5±1.3)%, P=0.001). Conclusions:The delayed chemotherapy was related to the age over 10 years old, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy in pediatric BL. There is a significant relationship between delayed chemotherapy and prognosis of BL in children.

BackgroundSleep disorder can adversely affect human physical and mental health, with important implications for socioeconomic development. And higher vocational college students are subject to various pressures and stimuli exerted by academic studies, job seeking and family socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the onset insomnia symptom or sleep disorder. ObjectiveTo discuss the sleep status and influencing factors among higher vocational college students, and to provide references for improving their sleep status. MethodsIn January and February, 2022, a stratified random sampling method was utilized to enroll 3 300 students from five higher vocational colleges in Wenjiang district of Chengdu city. All the participants were assessed using Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to test the correlation of ISI with PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores, and the Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors of insomnia symptom in higher vocational college students. ResultInsomnia symptom was detected in 81.90% (2 497 / 3 300) of higher vocational college students. The detection rate of insomnia symptom among vocational college students yielded statistical difference in terms of gender, family socioeconomic status, being an only child or having siblings, degree of psychological pressure exerted by academic studies or job seeking, amount of hours spent on Internet per day, frequency of physical exercise, and the presence or absence of anxiety symptom and depression symptom (χ2=21.032, 22.172, 8.983, 75.939, 36.781, 32.350, 54.512, 86.561, P<0.01 or 0.05). Among higher vocational college students, ISI score was positively correlated with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores (r=0.620, 0.714, P<0.01), and GAD-7 score was positively correlated with PHQ-9 score (r=0.824, P<0.01). Gender, family socioeconomic status, degree of psychological pressure exerted by academic studies or job seeking, amount of hours spent on Internet per day, frequency of physical exercise, and the presence or absence of anxiety symptom and depression symptom were effective factors in predicting the insomnia symptom in higher vocational college students (P<0.01 or 0.05). ConclusionFemale gender, average and below average family socioeconomic status, moderate-to-severe degree of psychological pressure exerted by academic studies or job seeking, spending 2~5 h, 5~7 h or >7 h on Internet per day, inadequate physical exercise and presence of depressive symptom are the risk factors for insomnia symptom in higher vocational college students.[Funded by Sichuan Provincial Primary Health Development Research Center in 2022, North Sichuan Medical College (number, SWFZ22-C-89)]
