Cervical spine health issues not only seriously affect patients' quality of life but also impose a heavy burden on the social healthcare system. Existing guidelines lack sufficient clinical guidance on lifestyle and work habits, such as exercise, posture, daily routine, and diet, making it difficult to meet practical needs. To address this, relying on the China Association of Chinese Medicine, Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences took the lead and joined hands with more than ten institutions to form a multidisciplinary guideline development group. For the first time, the group developed the Guidelines for Cervical Spine Health Intervention based on evidence-based medicine methods, strictly following the standardized procedures outlined in the World Health Organization Handbook for Guideline Development and the Guiding Principles for the Formulation/Revision of Clinical Practice Guidelines in China (2022 Edition). This proposal systematically explains the methods and steps for developing the guideline, aiming to make the guideline development process scientific, standardized, and transparent.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the independent and combined effects of air pollutants, meteorological factors, and greenspace exposure on new tuberculosis (TB) cases. METHODS: TB case data from Shanghai (2013-2018) were obtained from the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Environmental data on air pollutants, meteorological variables, and greenspace exposure were obtained from the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center. We employed a distributed-lag nonlinear model to assess the effects of these environmental factors on TB cases. RESULTS: Increased TB risk was linked to PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, and rainfall, whereas NO ₂, SO ₂, and air pressure were associated with a reduced risk. Specifically, the strongest cumulative effects occurred at various lags: PM _2.5 ( RR = 1.166, 95% CI: 1.026-1.325) at 0-19 weeks; PM ₁₀ ( RR = 1.167, 95% CI: 1.028-1.324) at 0-18 weeks; NO ₂ ( RR = 0.968, 95% CI: 0.938-0.999) at 0-1 weeks; SO ₂ ( RR = 0.945, 95% CI: 0.894-0.999) at 0-2 weeks; air pressure ( RR = 0.604, 95% CI: 0.447-0.816) at 0-8 weeks; and rainfall ( RR = 1.404, 95% CI: 1.076-1.833) at 0-22 weeks. Green space exposure did not significantly impact TB cases. Additionally, low temperatures amplified the effect of PM _2.5 on TB. CONCLUSION Exposure to PM _2.5, PM ₁₀, and rainfall increased the risk of TB, highlighting the need to address air pollutants for the prevention of TB in Shanghai.

Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous infusion of low-dose remifentanil on obese scarred uterine puerperae undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia.Methods A total of 87 obese scarred uterine puerperae undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia were selected as the study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the conventional group(n=43)and the remifentanil group(n=44).From the beginning of skin incision,puerperae of the conventional group and the remifentanil group were intravenously injected with normal saline and low-dose remifentanil respectively until the end of the operation.The vital signs,pain and comfort scores,intraoperative complications of puerperae,and status of newborns were compared between the two groups at different points during the operation.Results During fetal extraction and peritoneal exploration,the heart rate,mean arterial pressure and pain scores of puerperae in the remifentanil group were lower than those in the conventional group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);the intraoperative comfort score of puerperae in the remifentanil group was higher than that in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of nausea and vomiting of puerperae in the remifentanil group was lower than that in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the Apgar score at 1 minute and 5 minutes after delivery,requiring initial resuscitation or pH value of umbilical vein blood between newborns delivered by puerperae of the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Intravenous infusion of 0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1 low-dose remifentanil not only significantly reduces intraoperative pain and improves comfort of obese scarred uterine puerperae undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia,but also helps to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions and ensure maternal and infant safety.

The study investigated the effect of casticin on the proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) H322 cells and explored its molecular mechanism. Firstly, the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, and EdU assay were used to detect the effect of casticin on the proliferation capacity of H322 cells under different concentrations and treatment durations. Then, glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular pH, and oxygen consumption of H322 cells were measured before and after casticin treatment to analyze its impact on glycolysis in NSCLC H322 cells. Finally, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blot assays were performed to explore glycolysis-related molecules affected by casticin. The experiments showed that casticin inhibited the proliferation of NSCLC H322 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner, with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations(IC_(50)) of 28.64 and 19.41 μmol·L~(-1) after 48 and 72 hours of treatment, respectively. Casticin also inhibited glucose uptake and lactate production in H322 cells, while increasing extracellular pH and oxygen consumption. Further investigation revealed that casticin inhibited the expression of glycolysis-related molecules, including glucose transporter 1(GLUT1), hexokinase 2(HK2), aldolase A(ALDOA), pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α). Overexpression of HIF-1α was found to reverse the inhibitory effects of casticin on H322 cell proliferation and glycolysis. These findings suggest that casticin may regulate cellular glycolysis by inhibiting the expression of HIF-1α, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of NSCLC H322 cells. This study identifies a potential drug for the treatment of NSCLC and provides a direction for further research.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genotyping characteristics of human fecal Escherichia coli( E. coli) and the relationships between antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and multidrug resistance (MDR) of E. coli in Miyun District, Beijing, an area with high incidence of infectious diarrheal cases but no related data. METHODS: Over a period of 3 years, 94 E. coli strains were isolated from fecal samples collected from Miyun District Hospital, a surveillance hospital of the National Pathogen Identification Network. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was determined by the broth microdilution method. ARGs, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and polymorphism trees were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing data (WGS). RESULTS: This study revealed that 68.09% of the isolates had MDR, prevalent and distributed in different clades, with a relatively high rate and low pathogenicity. There was no difference in MDR between the diarrheal (49/70) and healthy groups (15/24). CONCLUSION We developed a random forest (RF) prediction model of TEM.1 + baeR + mphA + mphB + QnrS1 + AAC.3-IId to identify MDR status, highlighting its potential for early resistance identification. The causes of MDR are likely mobile units transmitting the ARGs. In the future, we will continue to strengthen the monitoring of ARGs and MDR, and increase the number of strains to further verify the accuracy of the MDR markers.

This study aims to explore the medication rule of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for heart failure after myocardial infarction via data mining. To be specific, articles on the treatment of the disease with Chinese medicine were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed and related information was collected. A database was created with Microsoft Excel 2019, and SPSS Clementine 12.0 and IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 were applied for association rules analysis, cluster analysis, and factor analysis. Finally, a total of 81 TCM prescriptions were screened out, involving 91 medicinals with cumulative use frequency of 740. The main syndromes were Qi deficiency and blood stasis, Yang Qi deficiency and blood stasis together with retained morbid fluid, deficiency of both Qi and Yin and blood stasis. The medicinals with high-frequency were Astragali Radix, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Poria, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. The effects of the medicinals were tonifying deficiency, activating blood and resolving stasis, and promoting urination and draining dampness. The association rules analysis yielded "Astragali Radix-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma" "Astragali Radix-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma" "Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata-Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Astragali Radix" combinations. Cluster analysis yielded 6 basic formulas for heart failure after myocardial infarction. Factor analysis extracted a total of 8 common factors. Heart failure after myocardial infarction is characterized by the syndrome of deficiency in nature and excess in superficiality. The core pathogenesis is "deficiency" "stasis" "retained morbid fluid", particularly "deficiency". This disease is closely related to the heart, lung, and spleen. The basic treatment principle is replenishing Qi and activating blood, and warming Yang, excreting water, and nourishing yin should also be emphasized. The common basic prescriptions, such as Siwu Decoction, Shengmai Powder, Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, Linggui Zhugan Decoction, and Shenfu Decoction, have been discovered. This study provided data for clinical medication and drug development for heart failure after myocardial infarction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of combined therapy of lung and intestine （Mahuangtang + Da Chengqitang） on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced acute lung injury （ALI） in rats and its protective mechanism. MethodWistar rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose groups with combined therapy of lung and intestine ， and dexamethasone group. LPS （10 mg·kg^-1） was given （ip） to induce ALI in rats. The general state of rats in each group was observed and recorded. The body temperature of rats in each group was recorded 0-8 h after modeling by means of anal temperature measurement. Serum and lung tissues were collected 24 h after modeling. Serum levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， and arginase-1 （Arg-1） were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of nuclear factor kappa B p65 （NF-κB p65）， phosphorylated NF-κB p65 （p-NF-κB p65）， NF-κB inhibitor α （IκBα）， and phosphorylated IκBα （p-IκBα） in lung tissues of rats. The levels of classically activated （M1） macrophage marker CD80 and IL-1β and macrophage markers F4/80 and IL-10 were detected by double immunofluorescence. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed increased body temperature and thermal response index （TRI）， elevated serum levels of pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α and IL-1β and anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 （P<0.01）， up-regulated protein levels of p-NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα in lung tissues （P<0.01）， and increased levels of F4/80， CD80， and IL-1β in lung tissues （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the lung-intestine combined treatment groups and the dexamethasone group exhibited decreased body temperature and TRI in rats （P<0.01）， declined serum levels of inflammatory factor TNF-α and IL-1β （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated serum levels of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 and Arg-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， down-regulated protein levels of p-NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα in lung tissues （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased levels of CD80 and IL-1β， and increased levels of IL-10 in lung tissues （P<0.01）， while the level of F4/80 was not significantly changed. ConclusionThe combined therapy of lung and intestine can obviously alleviate the fever and inflammatory state of ALI rats， and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB inflammatory pathway and the polarization of lung tissue macrophages to anti-inflammatory phenotype.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical treatment outcomes and the changes of the outcomes over time in extremely preterm twins in Guangdong Province, China. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed for 269 pairs of extremely preterm twins with a gestational age of <28 weeks who were admitted to the department of neonatology in 26 grade A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province from January 2008 to December 2017. According to the admission time, they were divided into two groups: 2008-2012 and 2013-2017. Besides, each pair of twins was divided into the heavier infant and the lighter infant subgroups according to birth weight. The perinatal data of mothers and hospitalization data of neonates were collected. The survival rate of twins and the incidence rate of complications were compared between the 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 groups. RESULTS: Compared with the 2008-2012 group, the 2013-2017 group (both the heavier infant and lighter infant subgroups) had lower incidence rates of severe asphyxia and smaller head circumference at birth (P<0.05). The mortality rates of both of the twins, the heavier infant of the twins, and the lighter infant of the twins were lower in the 2013-2017 group compared with the 2008-2012 group (P<0.05). Compared with the 2008-2012 group, the 2013-2017 group (both the heavier infant and lighter infant subgroups) had lower incidence rates of pulmonary hemorrhage, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (P-IVH), and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) and a higher incidence rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is a significant increase in the survival rate over time in extremely preterm twins with a gestational age of <28 weeks in the 26 grade A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province. The incidences of severe asphyxia, pulmonary hemorrhage, PDA, P-IVH, and NRDS decrease in both the heavier and lighter infants of the twins, but the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia increases. With the improvement of diagnosis and treatment, the multidisciplinary collaboration between different fields of fetal medicine including prenatal diagnosis, obstetrics, and neonatology is needed in the future to jointly develop management strategies for twin pregnancy.
