BACKGROUND:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important treatment for malignant hematological diseases,and delayed postoperative platelet implantation is a common complication that seriously affects the quality of patient survival;however,there are no standard protocols to improve platelet implantation rates and prevent platelet implantation delays. OBJECTIVE:To compare the safety and efficacy of oral Herombopag Olamine versus subcutaneous recombinant human thrombopoietin for promoting platelet implantation in patients with malignant hematological diseases undergoing haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS:Clinical data of 163 patients with malignant hematological diseases who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 72 patients who started to subcutaneously inject recombinant human thrombopoietin at+2 days were categorized into the recombinant human thrombopoietin group;a total of 27 patients who started to orally take Herombopag Olamine at+2 days were categorized into the Herombopag Olamine group;and 64 patients who did not apply Herombopag Olamine or recombinant human thrombopoietin were categorized into the blank control group.The implantation status,incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease of degree II-IV within 100 days,1-year survival rate,1-year recurrence rate,and safety were analyzed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The average follow-up time was 52(12-87)months.The implantation time of neutrophils in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group was(12.95±3.88)days,(14.04±3.71)days,and(13.89±2.74)days,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.352);the implantation time of platelets was(15.16±6.27)days,(17.67±6.52)days,and(17.00±4.75)days,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.287).(2)The complete platelet implantation rate on day 60 was 64.06%,90.28%,and 92.59%,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The subgroup analysis showed that the difference between the blank control group and the recombinant human thrombopoietin group was statistically significant(P<0.001),and the difference between the blank control group and the Herombopag Olamine group was statistically significant(P=0.004).The difference was not statistically significant between the recombinant human thrombopoietin group and Herombopag Olamine group(P=0.535).(3)100-day II-IV degree acute graft-versus-host disease incidence in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group were 25.00%,30.56%,and 25.93%,respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.752).(4)The incidence of cytomegalovirus anemia,cytomegalovirus pneumonia,and hepatic function injury had no statistical difference among the three groups(P>0.05).(5)During the follow-up period,there was no thrombotic event in any of the three groups of patients.(6)The results showed that recombinant human thrombopoietin and Herombopag Olamine could improve the platelet implantation rate of malignant hematological disease patients after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,with comparable efficacy and good safety.

Objective To analyze the status of radiation protection among non-medical radiation institutions in Henan Province. Methods A total of 673 non-medical radiation institutions in Henan Province were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. Their basic information and occupational health management practice were investigated. A total of 131 research subjects were selected for monitoring of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation using the stratified random sampling method. Results Among the 132 institutions using baggage inspection devices, none of the associated radiation workers (1 642 individuals) had received radiation protection training, personal dose monitoring, or occupational medical examination. Besides, among the remaining 541 radiation institutions with 8 373 radiation workers, the rates of radiation protection training, personal dose monitoring, and occupational medical examination were 62.2%, 98.1%, and 80.6%, respectively. The equipping rates for radiation monitoring instruments was 76.7%, for personal dose alarm device was 63.4%, and for the personal protective equipment was approximately 63.2% among the 673 non-medical radiation institutions. And the rate of independent monitoring for occupational radioactive hazard factors in workplaces was 65.2%, the rate of commissioned monitoring was 69.8%, the rate of conducting evaluations on the current status of occupational radioactive hazard was 70.4%, and the declaration rate of occupational hazard factor was 66.7%. The ambient dose equivalent rates for X/γ rays, neutron ambient dose equivalent rates, and average surface contamination levels of α/β particles in 131 radiation institutions met the national requirements. However, in three of the five underground metal mines, radon concentration exceeded 1 000.0 Bq/m³ at some operating detection points, with the highest one reaching 4 223.0 Bq/m³. Conclusion There remains a gap between current radiation protection practice in non-medical radiation workplaces in Henan Province and the requirements of national regulations and standards. Radiation protection management and supervision should be strengthened.

Objective: To investigate the detection of natural infection with pathogens in rodents in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for risk assessment and control of rodent-borne diseases. Methods: From August to September each year during the period of 2022-2024, urban residential areas, rural residential areas, key industries, farmland and cultivated land, forests, and shrublands in various counties (districts) of Huzhou City were selected as rodent surveillance sites. Rodents were captured using the trap night method. Following anesthesia, the rodents were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Species were identified based on morphological characteristics. Under sterile conditions, dissection was performed to collect liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues. These tissues were then mixed together, and detected for Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, Leptospira, and Orientia tsutsugamushi using fluorescence quantitative PCR. The detection rates of these natural infections with pathogens were analyzed across different rodent species, counties (districts), and habitats. Results: A total of 259 rodents were captured from 2022 to 2024, including Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, Suncus murinus, Mus musculus, Leopoldamys edwardsi, Niviventer fulvescens, Rattus losea, and Apodemus agrarius. The dominant species were Rattus norvegicus (142 individuals) and Rattus tanezumi (59 individuals), collectively accounting for 77.61%. With the exception of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, and Leptospira were all detected, with detection rates of 5.02%, 1.93%, and 10.42%, respectively. Hantavirus and Leptospira were simultaneously detected in one Rattus norvegicus, yielding a mixed infection rate of 0.39%. The three pathogens were detected in rodents in Wuxing District, Nanxun District, Deqing County, Changxing County, and Anji County, with detection rates of 6.45%, 5.71%, 26.32%, 4.76%, and 24.00%, respectively. They were also detected in rodents in urban residential areas, rural residential areas, key industries, farmland, and forests, with detection rates of 28.57%, 21.57%, 10.91%, 12.50%, and 14.81%, respectively. Notably, all three pathogens were simultaneously detected in Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, rural residential areas, and key industries. Conclusions Rattus norvegicus and Rattus tanezumi were identified as the dominant rodent species in Huzhou City. The detection of Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, and Leptospira, including instances of mixed infection. It is necessary to enhance surveillance and control measures targeting these key species and high-risk habitats.

BACKGROUND: Death burden of stroke is severe with over one-third rural residents in China, but there is still a lack of specific national and high-quality reports on the urban-rural differences in stroke burden, especially for subtypes. We aimed to update the understanding of urban-rural differences in stroke deaths. METHODS: This is a descriptive observational study. Data from the national mortality surveillance system, which covers 323.8 million with 605 disease surveillance points (DSPs) across all 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. All deaths from stroke as the underlying cause from 2015 to 2020 according to DSPs. Crude mortality rate and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) were estimated through DSPs. Average annual percentage change was used to explain the change in mortality rate. RESULTS: From 2015 to 2020, the majority of deaths from all stroke subtypes occurred in rural areas. There were significant differences between the changes of urban and rural ASMRs. On the whole, the changes in urban areas were evidently better, and the ASMR differences were basically expanding. Stroke ASMR in urban China decreased by 15.5%. The rural ASMR of ischemic stroke increased by 12.9%. The rural and urban ASMRs of intracerebral hemorrhage decreased by 24.9% and 27.4%, and those of subarachnoid hemorrhage decreased by 29.5% and 40.4%, respectively. The highest ASMRs of all stroke subtypes and the increasing trend of ischemic stroke ASMR make rural males the focus of stroke management. CONCLUSIONS The death burden of stroke varies greatly between urban and rural China. Rural residents face unique challenges.

Mechanical pain is one of the most common causes of clinical pain, but there remains a lack of effective treatment for debilitating mechanical and chronic forms of neuropathic pain. Recently, neurotoxin GsMTx4, a selective mechanosensitive (MS) channel inhibitor, has been found to be effective, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, with multiple rodent pain models, we demonstrated that a GsMTx4-based 17-residue peptide, which we call P10581, was able to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and neuropathic pain. The analgesic effects of P10581 can be as strong as morphine but is not toxic in animal models. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of the peptide was resistant to naloxone (an μ-opioid receptor antagonist) and showed no side effects of morphine, including tolerance, motor impairment, and conditioned place preference. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPV4 by P10581 in a heterogeneous expression system, combined with the use of Trpv4 knockout mice indicates that TRPV4 channels may act as the potential target for the analgesic effect of P10581. Our study identified a potential drug for curing mechanical pain and exposed its mechanism.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

As essential concepts of the traditional Chinese medicine theory,"deficiency"and"toxin"have been enriched and developed continuously since Huangdi Neijing.By tracing back and combing"deficiency"and"toxin",this paper sums up their relationship,analyzes and explains their basic connotation,and discusses their extension.The"deficiency-toxin"theory has two meanings:it covers the pathological state of the human body with deficiency of vital qi and excess of pathogenic toxin,and it also refers to the pathological evolutionary process in which"deficiency"and"toxin"promote each other.Based on the connotation and dynamic pathogenesis of the"deficiency-toxin"theory,it is pointed out that this theory can be applied to the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and chronic debilitating diseases,including the"inflammation-cancer transformation"of inflammatory bowel disease.Taking inflammatory bowel disease as an example and combining its Western medical background,this paper expounds on the pathogenesis and treatment of the"inflammation-cancer transformation"of inflammatory bowel disease,and provides a paradigm of"deficiency-toxin"theory guiding clinical research.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of blonanserin and olanzapine in the treatment of first-episode schizophrenia, so as to provide the basis for the medication choice for the treatment of first-episode schizophrenia. Methods: A total of 98 patients with first-episode schizophrenia admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Taizhou City were selected and randomly divided into the olanzapine group and the blonanserin group for a treatment period of two months. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) were used to investigate the improvement of symptoms, sleep quality and cognitive function before and after treatment, respectively, and the level of prolactin was detected. The generalized estimation equation was used to compare the differences between the two groups. The adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded and the safety of medication was evaluated. Results: Forty-nine patients each group were included, with 29 males and a mean age of (37.22±7.17) years in the olanzapine group, and 27 males and a mean age of (37.54±7.31) years in the blonanserin group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, disease course and educational duration between the two groups (all P>0.05). The scores of positive symptom, negative symptom, general psychopathology and overall PANSS in the two groups after treatment were decreased compared with those before (all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups, and no interaction between the drugs and treatment duration (all P>0.05). The MCCB score of the blonanserin group was higher than that of the olanzapine group, while the PSQI score and the prolactin level of the blonanserin group were lower than that of the olanzapine group, and there was an interaction between the drugs and treatment duration (all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the blonanserin group was 6.12%, which was lower than that in the olanzapine group of 20.41% (P<0.05). Conclusion Either blonanserin or olanzapine can improve psychotic symptoms inpatients with first-episode schizophrenia, while blonanserin is more effective than olanzapine in improving sleep quality, cognitive function and reducing prolactin level, and has higher safety.

BACKGROUND:Warm-needling moxibustion can effectively treat knee osteoarthritis.Degeneration,injury and fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament can affect the local stability of the knee joint,and then induce the formation of knee osteoarthritis.Whether warm-needling moxibustion can repair the injured cruciate ligament and the mechanism of action are still unclear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of warm-needling moxibustion on the morphology of the anterior cruciate ligament and the expression of insulin growth factor-1 and transforming growth factor-β in rabbits with knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the mechanism of anterior cruciate ligament repair by warm-needling moxibustion. METHODS:Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into blank group,model group and warm-needling moxibustion group,with 10 rabbits in each group.Knee osteoarthritis model was established by plaster cast immobilization.The blank group was not intervened.Rabbits in the model group rabbits were fixed in a rabbit holder for 15 minutes every day.The warm-needling moxibustion group was treated with warm acupuncture,once a day,7 days as a course of treatment,a total of two courses.After treatment,the imaging changes of the anterior cruciate ligament were observed by MRI and MRI grading statistics were performed.Morphological changes of the anterior cruciate ligament were observed by transmission electron microscope and hematoxylin-eosin staining.mRNA and protein expressions of insulin growth factor-1 and transforming growth factor-β were detected by RT-PCR and western blot,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MRI examination:Compared with the blank control group,the anterior cruciate ligament in the model group was thickened,edematous,and partially torn,and the difference in grading statistics was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the anterior cruciate ligament in the warm-needling moxibustion group was slightly thickened,with mild edema and no tearing,and the difference in grading statistics was statistically significant(P＜0.05).General observation:In the model group,the surface of the anterior cruciate ligament was glossy and faded,with the edge being covered with flocculent periosteum and obvious tissue necrosis;in the warm-needling moxibustion group,the surface of the ligament was glossy,and the ligament was in a normal helical shape.Hematoxylin-eosin staining:In the model group,there was obvious tissue necrosis in the anterior cruciate ligament,a large number of new capillaries,loosely arranged fibroblasts and collagen fibers.In the warm-needling moxibustion group,there was a small amount of tissue necrosis and few new vessels in the anterior cruciate ligament,and the cells and collagen fibers were loosely and irregularly arranged.Transmission electron microscopy:In the model group,the fibers in the anterior cruciate ligament were arranged in a disordered way with uneven thickness and distribution,and there are more fibroblasts that were irregular in morphology;in the warm acupuncture group,the fibers were basically arranged longitudinally,with uneven thickness and distribution,and a small number of oval-shaped fibroblasts were observed.RT-PCR and western blot assay:mRNA and protein expressions of insulin growth factor-1 and transforming growth factor-β were significantly decreased in the model group compared with the blank control group(P＜0.05),but significant increased after treatment with warm-needling moxibustion(P＜0.05).To conclude,warm-needling moxibustion can alleviate anterior cruciate ligament injury and regulate the expression of insulin growth factor-1 and transforming growth factor-β to treat knee osteoarthritis.
