This article discusses the key pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS) based on the physiological characteristics and pathological changes of lipids and introduces the therapeutic effect of Zhuyuwan on AS, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases from the spleen. As essential substances, lipids have the same essence but different forms. They circulate throughout the body with body fluids under the action of Yang Qi to nourish the nutrient Qi and support the defensive Qi. Lipid metabolism disorder often leads to the obstruction of Qi movement, the accumulation of dampness and turbidity, and the generation of phlegm and blood stasis. It has been proven that the formation of vulnerable plaques in AS is attributed to the interaction of three pathogenic factors: deficiency of healthy Qi, phlegm-turbidity, and collateral stasis. Their pathological essence is closely related to abnormal lipid metabolism. As lipids constitute the thick and dense components of body fluids, their impaired dispersion may lead to phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis, the pathological process of which is predominantly ascribed to the dysfunction of the spleen in distributing essence. Therefore, AS is rooted in spleen-stomach disorder, manifests as plaques formed by pathological product accumulation in vessels, with lipid transport disorder as its core pathogenesis. Specifically speaking, the dysfunction of spleen in transportation with accumulation of dampness-turbidity marks the initial stage, and blood turbidity and coagulation and phlegm-nodules accumulating in vessels represent the intermediate phase. Cold accumulation and stagnated heat transforming into toxins represent the terminal stage. Zhuyuwan, first recorded in Taiping Holy Prescriptions for Universal Relief, contains equal proportions of Coptidis Rhizoma and Evodiae Fructus. Coptidis Rhizoma, bitter and cold, exerts descending and purging actions to assist stomach Qi in lowering turbidity. Evodiae Fructus, pungent-bitter and hot, disperses obstruction and promotes free flow to support spleen Qi in ascending the clear. The compatibility of Coptidis Rhizoma and Evodiae Fructus ascends the clear and descends the turbid to harmonize Yin and Yang, assisting the spleen in distributing essence and resolving lipid accumulation to reduce lipid levels. In terms of the therapeutic mechanism, Zhuyuwan modulates lipid metabolism by correcting immune-inflammation network imbalance, improving gut microbiota composition and metabolism, and enhancing reverse cholesterol transport. By analyzing the pathological characteristics of lipid transport disorder in AS, this study delves into the intrinsic connections between cardiovascular disease and lipid transport disorder, giving novel insights into the prevention and treatment of AS.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of different genotypes of wild measles virus in Fujian province from 2014 to 2019.Methods:The information of suspected measles cases and the throat swab specimens of the cases in Fujian province from 2014 to 2019 were collected. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was applied to amplify the 450 nucleotides of the 3-terminal of the nucleoprotein gene. Phylogenetic tree was constructed to identify and analyze the target sequence.Results:A total of 1 102 suspected measles cases were reported in Fujian province from 2014 to 2019, with an annual incidence rate of 0.47/100 000. Totally 884 throat swabs were tested in the laboratory, and 179 nucleotide sequences were obtained except vaccine strain. Sequence analysis showed that 110 measles genotypes were H1, 43 were B3 and 26 were D8. Nucleotide homology analysis showed that the H1a genotype measles virus in Fujian province distributed in two branches, divided into nine different sequence variants. Some of the variants were highly homologous (99.8%-100.0%) with the measles strains in other regions and countries. There were six different sequence variants of B3 genotype measles virus in Fujian province. The nucleotide homology between the B3 genotype measles virus in Fujian province and the domestic and foreign prevalent B3 strains was 98.4%-100.0%. The D8 genotype measles strain in Fujian province had five different sequence variants, some of which were highly homologous with the strains from Vietnam, Japan and Thailand.Conclusions:Three different genotypes of measles viruses (H1, B3 and D8) prevailed in Fujian province from 2014 to 2019, among which H1 genotype was still the local endemic genotype, while B3 and D8 genotypes were imported genotypes in Fujian province. The result indicated that although the local cases of measles were less in Fujian province in recent years, the risk of imported cases from abroad was increasing, and the surveillance of imported cases from abroad should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the level of mumps virus (MuV) IgG antibody of healthy population and the genotyping of MuV in Fujian province in 2018.Methods:MuV IgG antibody of healthy population was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Small hydrophobin (SH) gene of MuV was genotyped in pharyngeal swab and cell cultures of mumps patients using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The phylogenetic tree by SH sequences was constructed to identify MuV genotype.Results:A total of 4 925 people completed antibody testing, the positive rate of MuV IgG antibody was 78.58%(3780/4925), and the geometric mean concentration (GMC) was 245.83 IU/ml. There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of antibodies between people of different genders, while GMC had statistically significant differences ( χ2=4.295, P=0.117; Z=-2.220, P=0.026). There were significant differences in the positive rate of antibodies and GMC between people in different regions and age groups. Especially in infants and 12-15 years old group of people, the MuV IgG antibody positive rate and GMC were at low levels. The antibody positive rate and GMC of people with a history of mumps-containing vaccine (MuCV) immunization were higher than those without a history of MuCV immunization and those with unknown MuCV immunization history ( χ2=259.315, P<0.001; Z=-16.319, P<0.001). Eight strains of MuV were isolated from the mumps outbreak, which were all F genotypes. Conclusion:The immune level of mumps in infants and young children in Fujian province was low, and the 12-15 age group is the focus of attention. The epidemic strains of MuV in Fujian province in 2018 were mainly F genotype strains.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of vaccine switch on the levels of neutralizing antibody (NA) of poliovirus in children aged<12 years.Methods:Subjects aged<12 years from 9 districts in Fujian province were chosen by stratified cluster and complete random sampling method. Blood samples were collected for testing NA of poliovirus by microcell neutralization.Results:A total of 2 134 subjects aged<12 years were selected. The positive rate of NA against PVⅠand Ⅲ were 98.64% and 95.83%; and geometric mean titers (GMTs) were 1∶259.35 and 1∶105.14, respectively. The GMTs presented a trend of decreasing as age increased. Compared to trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (tOPV), bivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) and inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) induced higher GMTs of NA against poliovirusⅠand Ⅲ respectively. Among 182 children aged<5 years, the positive rate of NA against PVⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ were 97.25%, 76.37% and 92.86%. There were statistical differences among the three types ( χ2=44.44, P=0.000). The rate of NA against PVⅡwas significantly lower than those ofⅠand Ⅲ (Ⅱ vs. I: χ2=34.65, P=0.000; Ⅱ vs. Ⅲ: χ2=18.99, P=0.000). And the GMTs of NA against PV Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ were 1∶368.96、1∶23.06 and 1∶183.10, which were significantly different ( F=156.54, P=0.000). The GMT of PVⅠwas the highest, PV Ⅲ was the second, PVⅡ was lowest (pairwise comparison showed values of P all were 0.000). The analysis of general linear model showed that the interval between the date of last immunization and the date of sample collection would affect the GMTs of PVⅠand Ⅲ, different vaccine models would affect only the GMT of PV Ⅰ. The age maybe was a confounding factor. But no factors would affect the GMT of PV Ⅱ. Conclusions:After the vaccine switch, the level of NA against PVⅠand PV Ⅲ were still maintaining high level, but the level of PVⅡamong children<5 years was at relatively low level, which indicated that the surveillance should be strengthened.

Objective:To analyze the complete genome sequence characteristics of genotype G mumps virus isolated from Putian city, Fujian province in 2015.Methods:Two mumps virus strains isolated in Putian city, Fujian province in 2015 were selected for the study and named as MuV15-01 and MuV15-23.The whole genome of the isolated strains was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (Rt-PCR). The genetic differences and antigen site variation of the isolated strain were analyzed by comparing the sequences of vaccine strain and other genotypes strains.Results:The total length of genome of MuV isolates was 15, 384 nucleotides. The nucleotide differences between isolates and other genotypes of mumps virus based on the whole genome ranged between 3.7% and 6.0%. The maximum and minimum difference was found between isolates and genotype A (the vaccine strains), and genotype B to N strains, respectively. Among the nucleotide sequences encoding different viral proteins, SH gene had the largest variation, while M and L genes were the most conserved. There were 7 and 11 amino acid mutations in the known antigen related sites of N gene and HN gene, respectively. Compared with the vaccine strain, the isolated strain added an additional N-glycosylation site to the 464 site of the HN gene.Conclusions:Genetic variations were detected in the epidemic mumps virus strains in Putian, Fujian, compared with other mumps genotypes and vaccine strains based on the whole genome. These resluts indicate that the monitoring for genetic differences between epidemic mumps strains and vaccine strains should be further strengthened.

OBJECTIVETo explore the impact of plasma homocysteinemia(Hcy) on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
METHODSConsecutive 684 ACS patients undergoing first PCI in our department between January 2013 and December 2014 were prospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the pre-procedural plasma Hcy level: high-Hcy group (Hcy≥10 μmol/L, n=404) and control group (Hcy<10 μmol/L, n=280). The CIN was defined as serum creatinine ≥ 44.2 μmol/L or 25% increase compared to baseline within 48-72 h after PCI.The baseline clinical data and the ratio of CIN were compared between the 2 groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to define the independent risk factors for CIN.
RESULTSCIN occurred in 133(19.4%) out of 684 enrolled patients, and the incidence of CIN was significantly higher in high Hcy group than in the control group (22.0%(89/404)vs. 15.7%(44/280), P=0.040). After adjusting the confounding factors, including age, acute myocardial infarction, co-morbidities(hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and old myocardial infarction), laboratory examination (level of cystatin C and uric acid), glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, angiographic and procedural characteristics (3 diseased vessels, multiple stent implantation), treatment at admission (spironolactone, digoxin), multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high Hcy was independently associated with the development of CIN (OR=1.70, 95%CI 1.60-2.64, P=0.021).
CONCLUSIONElevated Hcy prior PCI is an independent risk factor of CIN in ACS patients undergoing first PCI.
