OBJECTIVE
To explore the effect and mechanism of Huanglian Jiedu decoction in reducing inflammation of abscess from the perspective of lncRNA NEAT1.
METHODS
C57BL/6 mice were divided into blank group, model group, Huanglian Jiedu decoction group and control group. After the intervention, the tissue were separated and collected under anesthesia. Animal experiment: the wound tissue of each group was observed by morphology. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect lncRNA NEAT1, miR-146a-5p gene level changes and RELA, TNF-α, TGF-β1, α-SMA, Collagen Ⅲ protein expression respectively. Cell experiments: Real-time PCR was used to detect the changes of lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-146a-5p gene levels. The effect of flow cytometry on apoptosis rate was detected. Fluorescence intensity was measured by FISH. The expression of related proteins was detected by Western blotting.
RESULTS
Compared with model and control group, the wound was repaired well and the inflammatory cell infiltration in the wound of the Huanglian Jiedu decoction group was reduced. Compared with the model and control group, the level of lncRNA NEAT1 and protein expressions of RELA, TNF-α, TGF-β1 in the Huanglian Jiedu decoction group were significantly reduced, while the gene level of miR-146a-5p and the protein expressions of α-SMA and Collagen III were significantly increased(P<0.05). Compared with LPS+Lenti-control group, lncRNA NEAT1 gene level in LPS+Lenti-sh-NEAT1 group was significantly decreased, while miR-146a-5p gene level was increased(P<0.05). Flow cytometry showed that Huanglian Jiedu decoction could reduce the apoptosis rate and fluorescence intensity of lncRNA NEAT1(P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the protein expressions of RELA, TNF-α, TGF-β1 in LPS group were significantly increased, while the protein expressions of α-SMA and Collagen III were significantly decreased (P<0.05). After sh-NEAT1 treatment, The regulatory effects of Huanglian Jiedu decoction on the expression of above molecule were reduced(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Huanglian Jiedu decoction can alleviate the inflammatory state of mouse abscess wound through lncRNA NEAT1, which is closely related to the regulation of miR-146a, RELA, TNF-α, TGF-β1, α-SMA and Collagen III expression.

Objective:To analyze the current situation of health education among medical staff at all levels of hospitals in Beijing, for references in improving the level of hospital health education.Methods:From July to November 2022, a stratified random sampling method was used to select medical staff from hospitals at all levels in Beijing as the survey subjects. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the frequency of health education conducted by medical staff in six dimensions. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to assign scores to the frequency of health education, and latent profile analysis was conducted on each score to explore the categories of health education conducted by medical staff.Results:2 792 questionnaires were effectively collected, among which 2 792 medical staff were surveyed, including 1 009 doctors, 1 609 nurses, and 174 technicians and pharmacists. The scores for the frequency of health education conducted in six dimensions: health education in the media or outside the hospital, health knowledge lectures in the hospital, outpatient health education, inpatient health education, health education during follow-up, and health prescriptions were (1.45±0.68) points, (1.68±1.01) points, (2.65±1.65) points, (2.76±1.74) points, (3.24±1.58) points, and (2.59±1.71) points respectively. According to latent profile analysis, healthcare personnel conducting health education could be divided into four categories: low development group (46.6%, 1 300 people), high development group (4.6%, 129 people), inpatient/follow-up development group (19.4%, 541 people), and outpatient/follow-up development group (29.4%, 822 people). The hospital level and profession of medical personnel in each category were different, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.001). Conclusions:Medical staff in Beijing mainly carry out health education at such stages as patient follow-up, inpatient, and outpatient, but there is insufficient health education accessible in the media or outside the hospital. There are differences in the health education situation of medical personnel at different levels of hospitals and professions. It is recommended to build an efficient health education management system, actively explore new media-based health education channels, and reasonably allocate health education resources to comprehensively improve the health education of medical staff.

Objective:To explore the hotspots of the public concerns about quitting smoking before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Methods:The monthly search index data of four key words, “the harm of smoking”,“quitting smoking”,“passive smoking” and “electronic cigarette” before the COVID-19 (from January, 2016 to December, 2019) and during the COVID-19 (from January, 2020 to December, 2020) pandemic were manually collected from the Baidu Index platform. The one-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences among annual search indexes of four keywords. The linear regression model was used to test the annual linear trend of search index of each keyword before the COVID-19, and the one-sample t-test was used to analyze the differences of the search indexes during the COVID-19 and the means before the COVID-19. Results:During 2016—2020, the annual average search index of “electronic cigarette” was the highest (1.465 million), followed by “the harm of smoking” (0.884 million) and “quitting smoking” (0.780 million), while “passive smoking” was the lowest (0.171 million). Before the COVID-19 (2016—2019), the search index of each keyword had positive cumulative growth, but there was no significant linear trend of annual change ( P>0.05). During the COVID-19 period (2020), the search index of “the harm of smoking” decreased significantly (0.794 million vs 0.907 million, P=0.011), and “quitting smoking” (0.591 million vs 0.827 million, P=0.172) and “passive smoking” (0.164 million vs 0.172 million, P=0.257) showed a downward trend, while the search index of “electronic cigarettes” bucked the trend and increased significantly (1.825 million vs 1.375 million, P=0.010). Conclusions:The public′s online attention to “electronic cigarette” increases dramatically during COVID-19 along with other information about quitting smoking decreases. There are urgent needs for strengthening regulation and monitoring of electronic cigarettes and carrying out more effective publicity of scientific methods to help quit smoking.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the (CGG)n repeats of FMR1 gene among patients with unexplained mental retardation.
METHODS:
For 201 patients with unexplained mental retardation, the (CGG)n repeats of the FMR1 gene were analyzed by PCR and FragilEase
RESULTS:
For the 201 patients with unexplained mental retardation, 15 were identified with full mutations of the FMR1 gene. The prevalence of fragile X syndrome (FXS) in patients with unexplained mental retardation was determined as 7.5% (15/201). Prenatal diagnosis was provided for 6 pregnant women with pre- or full mutations. Analysis revealed that women with mental retardation and full FMR1 mutations exhibited a skewed XCI pattern with primary expression of the X chromosome carrying the mutant allele.
CONCLUSION
FXS has a high incidence among patients with unexplained mental retardation. Analysis of FMR1 gene (CGG)n repeats in patients with unexplained mental retardation can facilitate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for their families. FMR1 gene (CGG)n repeats screening should be recommended for patients with unexplained mental retardation.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of delayed lactogenesis II on early milk volume in mothers expressing milk for their preterm infants. METHODS: 142 mothers with preterm infants participated in a longitudinal cohort study, the milk volumes over 14 days postpartum between mothers with delayed lactogenesis II (≥ 72 hours) and mothers with non-delayed lactogenesis II(< 72 hours) were compared using Wilcoxon's rank sum tests. RESULTS: The prevalence of delayed lactogenesis II among mothers of preterm infants was 36.0% (36/100). There existed negative correlations between the onset of lactogenesis II and the daily milk volumes(r(s) = −0.525~−0.354, p = .002 ~ p < .001). The milk volumes in every 24-hour of the 14 days postpartum in delayed group were significantly less than that in non-delayed group (p = .002 ~ p < .001). After controlling for the covariates, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, delayed expression initiation, shorter daily sleeping time were found to be the risk factors for delayed lactogenesis II. CONCLUSION: Delayed lactogenesis II was associated with lower milk volume in early postpartum period. Women who were at risk for delayed lactogenesis II need targeted interventions and additional support during pregnancy and postpartum.

Objective:
ICMM occupational health risk assessment model was be used to evaluate the risk of a lead-acid battery enterprise.
Methods:
In November 2016, a lead-acid battery company in Jiangsu Province was selected as the research object. Based on the occupational health survey data and occupational hazard assessment reports, the ICMM risk assessment model was used to conduct occupational health risks in eight key positions of a lead-acid battery enterprise. The risk assessment results was verified by actual test results.
Results:
In the quantitative assessment model, the occupational health risk assessment results for the castings and welding positions exposed to lead smoke, and the occupational health risk assessment results for the grinding and dividing positions exposed to lead dust existed unacceptable risks. The occupational health risk assessment results for the ball-milled and plated positions exposed to lead dust existed tolerable risks. The occupational health risk assessment results for the lead-plated and soldered positions exposed to sulphuric acid pastes and acids existed potential risks. In qualitative evaluation matrix method, the occupational health risk assessment results for the castings and welding positions exposed to lead smoke, and the occupational health risk assessment results for the grinding and dividing positions exposed to lead dust existed high risks, the occupational health risk assessment results for other four key positions were considered to be with low risks.
Conclusion
The key control points for lead smoke in this enterprise were castings and welding positions; The key control points for lead dust were the grinding and separating brush positions. The quantitative assessment model and the qualitative assessment matrix method in the ICMM model were consistent with the actual test results in the eight health risk assessments of occupational hazards in key positions. Therefore, the method could be applied to the assessment of occupational health risks of the lead-acid battery enterprise. According to the results of the assessment, improvements could be made to high-risk positions and the concentration of occupational hazards in high-risk posts could be reduced to better protect the health of workers.

Objective To analyze and explore the correlation between the onset time of lactogenesisⅡ and lactation yield of the early stage after delivery in preterm's mothers by continuously determining the lactation yield of the early stage after delivery in hospitalized preterm's mothers and the onset time of lactogenesisⅡin neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods We measured lactation yield and recorded the onset time of lactogenesis Ⅱ from 100 premature labour puerpera with hospital delivery of Obstetrics Department at a class Ⅲgrade A general hospital in Shandong Province. The relative factors of delayed onset of lactogenesis Ⅱ (DOL Ⅱ) were investigated with the preterm's mothers lactation-related factors comprehensive questionnaire and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Results The mean onset time of lactogenesis Ⅱ of hospitalized preterm's mothers in NICU were (68.23±26.42) hours. The incidence of DOL Ⅱ was 36% (36/100). The onset time of lactogenesis Ⅱwas negatively related to the lactation yield 14 days after delivery (r=-0.525--0.354, P<0.01). The lactation yield 14 days after delivery of onset delay group of lactogenesis Ⅱ was less than that of non-delayed group (Z=-4.89--3.10, P<0.01). The influencing factors of DOL Ⅱ included whether they were combined with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (OR=4.589, P< 0.01), hours of sleep (OR=0.649, P<0.01) and the first breast-feeding (OR=1.120, P<0.01). Conclusions The incidence of DOL Ⅱ is high in hospitalized preterm's mothers of NICU.The DOL Ⅱ affects the lactation yield of the early stage after delivery in preterm's mothers. Medical workers should pay attention to the onset time of lactogenesis Ⅱ, correct pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome in time, increase hours of sleep of puerpera and promote the first breast-feeding early enough so as to reduce or prevent the DOL Ⅱand to improve the lactation condition of premature labour puerpera.
