Objective:
To construct a scientific and perfect evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities, so as to provide reference tools for colleges and universities to effectively respond to infectious disease.
Methods:
The initial framework of the evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities was constructed by using literature analysis method. Experts familiar with infectious disease prevention and control or school health work were selected to conduct two rounds( n =16,18) of Delphi expert consultation for determining the evaluation index system. Analytical hierarchy process was used to calculate the index weights and combined weights. About 198 prevention and control personnel were conveniently selected from 3 universities in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to comprehensively evaluate the evaluation indicators by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method.
Results:
After two rounds of Delphi consultation questionnaire, the effective recovery rates were 80.0% and 90.0%, the expert authority levels were 0.89 and 0.86, the expert harmony coefficients for Kendall W were 0.166 and 0.310, and the variation coefficient of each index was <0.25. Finally, the evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability of colleges and universities included 4 first level indicators, 14 second level indicators and 75 third level indicators. The weights of prevention and monitoring and early warning, organizational system guarantee, emergency management, rehabilitation and summary were 0.176, 0.476, 0.268 and 0.080, respectively. The top 3 weights of the secondary indexes were 0.623 for infectious disease surveillance and early warning, 0.595 for loss assessment and 0.370 for emergency response. The score of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of the index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities was 79.148, suggesting a high level.
Conclusion
The established evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities is scientific and reasonable, which is conducive to provide tool reference for the evaluation of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities.

Renal fibrosis, especially tubulointerstitial fibrosis, is the most common pathway of all chronic kidney diseases progressing to end-stage renal diseases. Several adaptive reactions occur in renal tubular epithelial cells after chronic injury, such as changes in glycolipid metabolism, unfolded protein response, autophagy and senescence, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and G2/M cell cycle arrest. Maladaptive repair mechanisms can induce tubulointerstitial fibrosis. This article will discuss the molecular mechanism of these adaptive responses of renal tubular epithelial cells driving renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and provide a basis for exploring new drug targets for renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.

Cancer, one of the deadliest diseases caused by cells escaping homeostasis, abnormal proliferation, and abnormal differentiation, is fast becoming one of the most burdensome diseases of this century. With decades of human research and cognitive changes in cancer, cancer treatment is also developing rapidly, but there is still a lack of effective treatment and countermeasures. Especially, the search for safe, efficient, and non-toxic drugs has become a long-term goal in the field of cancer. Saponins extracted and separated from traditional Chinese medicine can improve cancer through various pathways and have almost no toxic side effects. Therefore, the research on the anti-cancer effect of saponins is heating up. It is found that saponins play anti-tumor roles by inhibiting proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis of cancer cells, promoting apoptosis of cancer cells, inducing autophagy of tumor cells, and regulating miRNA expression and immune functions. Chinese herbal medicine saponins can regulate secretory glycoprotein /β-catenin (Wnt/β-catenin), adenylate activated protein kinase (AMPK), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), Janus kinase/activator of signal transduction and transcription 3 (JAK/ STAT3), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Toll-like receptor (TLR), and other related signaling pathways to get involved in the proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, apoptosis, autophagy, and other processes of cancer cells, thus interfering with the progression of cancer. Therefore, the focus of this review is to update the discovery and evaluation of Chinese herbal medicine saponins with anti-cancer properties, clarify their mechanism of action, including the progress of related signaling pathways, and deepen the understanding of the anti-cancer function of Chinese herbal medicine saponins, so as to provide a new perspective and direction for the prevention and treatment of tumors by traditional Chinese medicine and better promote the development and utilization of resources.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of the Mongolian medicine Sugemule-4 on the metabolism of insomnia rats, and to preliminarily explore its possible mechanisms for improving insomnia. METHODS The rat model of chronic stress insomnia was established by tail clipping stimulation and intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenyl alanine solution. Twenty-four male rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, diazepam group (positive control, 0.92 mg/kg), and Sugemule-4 group (5.2 g/kg), with 6 rats in each group. Since the 7th day of tail clipping stimulation, the Sugemule-4 group and diazepam group began to be intragastrically administered with relevant medicine; the normal group and model group were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water, once a day, for 14 consecutive days. The learning and memory abilities of rats were tested using a water maze experiment, and the non-invasive sleep activity monitoring system was used to monitor the 24- hour sleep time of rats. A metabolomics study was conducted on rat serum and hippocampal tissue by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The multivariate statistical analysis method was adopted to analyze the differential metabolites in serum and hippocampal tissue of rats, and screen for differential metabolites and metabolic pathways among those groups. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the escape latency of rats in the model group was significantly increased, the times of crossing platforms were significantly reduced, and the percentage of average 24-hour sleep time was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of the above indicators were significantly reversed in the diazepam group and Sugemule-4 group (P<0.05). Metabolomics studies found that a total of 9 differential metabolites were identified in rat serum and hippocampal tissue, including 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, canine urate, canine urinary quinolinic acid, 5-hydroxytryptamine, phenol sulfate, 1-carboxyethyltyrosine, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) lactate, N-acetyl tyrosine, tyrosine and phenol sulfate, mainly involving 2 metabolic pathways of tryptophan and tyrosine.CONCLUSIONS Sugemule-4 can improve the sleep time and behavioral performance of insomnia rats, and its mechanism may be associated with affecting amino acid metabolic pathways such as tryptophan and tyrosine.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic double-row double-pulley technique in the treatment of Ideberg type IA scapular glenoid fracture.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 16 patients with Ideberg type IA scapular glenoid fracture admitted to Jiading Branch of Shanghai General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021, including 10 males and 6 females, aged 25-65 years [(42.9±5.1)years]. The patients were treated with arthroscope-assisted reduction and double-row double-pulley technique. The operation time was recorded. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the shoulder joint with CT was performed to assess fracture displacement and healing. Modified University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score and Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate shoulder function and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate pain before surgery, at 3, 6, 12 months after surgery and at the last follow-up. The complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-36 months [(20.3±4.4)months]. The operation time was 60-90 minutes [(74.7±8.9)minutes]. Three-dimensional construction of the shoulder joint with CT performed at 3 months after surgery showed that there was no fracture re-displacement and all the patients had bone union. The modified UCLA score, Constant-Murley score and VAS score at 3 months after surgery were (30.4±0.4)points, (84.3±1.4)points and 2.0(1.3, 3.0)points, respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those before surgery [(21.1±0.5)points, (56.4±1.3)points and 5.0(5.0, 6.0)points respectively] ( P<0.05). The modified UCLA score, Constant-Murley score and VAS score at 6 months after surgery were (33.1±0.4)points, (91.0±0.5)points and 1.0(1.0, 2.0)]points respectively, which were significantly improved compared with those at 3 months after surgery ( P<0.05). The modified UCLA score, Constant-Murley score and VAS score at 12 months after surgery were (33.5±0.3)points, (92.6±0.6)points and 1.0(0.3, 1.8)points respectively, showing no significant differences from those at 6 months after surgery ( P>0.05). The modified UCLA score, Constant-Murley score and VAS score at the last follow-up were (33.8±0.8)points, (93.7±1.8)points and 1.0(0.0, 1.0)points respectively, with no significant differences from those at 12 months after surgery ( P>0.05). There were no complications such as wound infection, neurovascular injury or shoulder stiffness after surgery. Conclusion:Arthroscopic double-row double-pulley technique for the treatment of Ideberg type IA scapular glenoid fracture has a short operation time, a high fracture healing rate, good shoulder function recovery, and pain relief, with no common complications.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the horizontal plate plus raft screws above the acetabulum and fixation with screws only for acetabular fractures combined with dome impaction in the aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 20 aged patients with acetabular fractures combined with dome impaction, who were admitted to Tianjin hospital between May 2013 and January 2023, including 5 males and 15 females, aged 61-84 years [(72.2±7.3)years]. According to Letournel and Judet classification, 13 patients had anterior column fracture, 5 anterior column fracture combined with posterior transverse fracture and 2 two-column fracture. All the patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation through an anterior approach. Of them, 11 patients were treated with the fixation with the horizonal plate plus raft screws above the acetabulum (plate plus raft screw group) and 9 with the screws only (screw only group). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative fluoroscopy times were compared between the two groups. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated with the Matta′s radiographic criteria at 3 days after surgery and the function of the hip joint was assessed with Merle D′Aubigné and Postel scoring system at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up as well as the excellent and good rate at te last follow-up. The occurrence of postoperative complications was observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 6-18 months [(13.1±3.1)months]. There were no significant differences in the operative time, intraoperative blood loss or intraoperative fluoroscopy times between the two groups ( P>0.05). According to the Matta′s radiographic criteria at 3 days after surgery, patients with anatomical reduction and satisfactory reduction accounted 6 and 5 in the plate plus raft screw group, compared to 5 and 4 respectively in the screw only group ( P>0.05). The values of Merle D′Aubigné and Postel score at 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were (14.0±2.4)points and (15.8±2.2)points in the plate plus raft screw group, which were higher than those in the screw only group [(11.0±2.6)points and (13.0±3.1)points] ( P<0.01). The values of Merle D′Aubigné and Postel score at the last follow-up of both groups were further enhanced from those at 3 months after surgery ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, 3 patients were rated excellent, 6 good, 1 fair and 1 poor in the plate plus raft screw group, with an excellent and good rate of 81.8%, while in the screw only group, 3 were rated good, 2 fair and 4 poor, with an excellent and good rate of 33.3% ( P<0.05). One patient in the plate plus raft screw group and 5 in the screw only group had displacement of the dome impaction fragment combined with traumatic arthritis after surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For acetabular fractures combined with dome impaction in the aged patients, the horizontal plate plus raft screw above the acetabulum can effectively improve the function restoration of the hip joint and reduce the occurrence of the displacement of the dome impaction fragment and traumatic arthritis after surgery compared to the fixation with screws only.
