OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficacy and safety of luspatercept in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes （MDS） anemia， and provide reference for clinical medication. METHODS The literature related to luspatercept for MDS anemia in PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase and Web of Science were searched by computer， and the search time was from the establishment of the database to January 2024. The quality of literature was evaluated after they were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria， the single-group rate meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed by using RevMan 5.4 software， and the subgroup analysis was conducted. RESULTS A total of 756 patients in 9 articles were included in this study. The results of meta-analysis showed that the proportion of MDS patients who reached ≥8 weeks of red blood cell transfusion independence （RBC-TI） was 46% after using luspatercept [95%CI （0.28， 0.64）， P＜0.000 01]. The proportion of MDS patients whose hematological improvement in erythrocyte （HI-E） was 59% [95%CI （0.43， 0.74）， P＜0.000 01]. Among them， 5 articles reported that the proportion of MDS patients with grade 3-4 adverse reactions was 14% [95%CI （0.07， 0.22）， P＝0.000 2]， and the poor general condition， infection， blood and lymphatic system disease were the common adverse reactions. Subgroup analysis showed that the source of heterogeneity was the blood transfusion burden in the proportion of MDS patients with RBC-TI≥8 weeks， and the source of heterogeneity was the 0931-8356251。revised international prognostic scoring system （IPSS-R） risk grade， SF3B1 mutation status and blood transfusion burden in the proportion of MDS patients with HI-E. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of this study were stable. CONCLUSIONS Luspatercept can significantly improve blood transfusion dependence， reduce blood transfusion burden and promote hematology improvement in MDS patients. But attention should be paid to the occurrence of grade 3-4 adverse events； adverse events such as poor general condition， infection， blood and lymphatic system diseases are more common.

Methods The integrated measures for schistosomiasis control implemented by health, agriculture, water resources, and forestry departments of Wuhan City, and the epidemiological data of schistosomiasis in Wuhan City were collected from 2005 to 2023, and the prevalence of human schistosomiasis, prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infections in humans and bovines, areas of S. japonicum-infected snail habitats, areas of snail habitats in inner embankments, and actual areas of snail habitats were retrieved. In addition, the trends in prevalence of schistosomiasis in humans and livestock and snail status were evaluated in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 using Mann-Kendall test and a Joinpoint regression model. Results Mann-Kendall test revealed a tendency towards a decline in the prevalence of human schistosomiasis (Z = -4.41, P < 0.01), prevalence of S. japonicum infections in humans (Z = -4.89, P < 0.01) and bovines (Z = -4.50, P < 0.01), areas of S. japonicum-infected snail habitats (Z = -3.91, P < 0.01), areas of snail habitats in inner embankments (Z = -2.28, P = 0.02), and actual areas of snail habitats (Z = -5.95, P < 0.01) in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023. Joinpoint regression analysis showed an average annual reduction of 8.58% in the prevalence of human schistosomiasis in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 [average annual percent change (AAPC) = -8.58%, 95% confidence interval (CI): (-10.02%, -6.65%), P < 0.01], with two joinpoints in 2013 and 2016, respectively, and the tendency towards a decline showed statistical significance during the period from 2013 through 2016 [annual percent change (APC) = -34.41%, 95% CI: (-40.36%, -20.01%), P < 0.01]. The prevalence of S. japonicum human infections appeared an average annual reduction of 51.91% in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 [AAPC = -51.91%, 95% CI: (-58.12%, -44.25%), P < 0.01], with two joinpoints in 2014 and 2017, respectively, and the tendency towards a decline showed statistical significance during the period from 2014 through 2017 [APC = -98.17%, 95% CI: (-99.17%, -90.87%), P < 0.01]. The prevalence of S. japonicum infections in bovines appeared an average annual reduction of 53.12% in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 [AAPC = -53.12%, 95% CI: (-59.65%, -42.44%), P < 0.01], with two joinpoints in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and the tendency towards a decline showed statistical significance during the period from 2014 through 2017 [APC = -98.63%, 95% CI: (-99.44%, -90.93%), P < 0.01]. The areas of S. japonicum-infected snail habitats appeared an average annual reduction of 47.09% in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 [AAPC = -47.09%, 95% CI: (-52.92%, -38.26%), P < 0.01], with two joinpoints in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and the tendency towards a decline showed statistical significance during the period from 2011 through 2014 [APC = -97.27%, 95% CI: (-98.65%, -88.06%), P < 0.01]. The areas of snail habitats in inner embankments appeared an average annual reduction of 4.45% in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 [AAPC = -4.45%, 95% CI: (-5.18%, -3.82%), P < 0.01], with three joinpoints in 2011, 2015 and 2018, respectively, and statistical significance was seen in the tendency towards a decline during the period from 2005 through 2011 [APC = -16.38%, 95% CI: (-20.15%, -14.25%), P < 0.01]. In addition, the actual areas of snail habitats appeared an average annual reduction of 2.65% in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023 [AAPC = -2.65%, 95% CI: (-2.89%, -2.40%), P < 0.01], with a joinpoint in 2013, and the tendency towards a decline showed statistical significance during the period from 2013 through 2023 [APC = -4.06%, 95% CI: (-4.66%, -3.58%), P < 0.01]. Conclusions The integrated schistosomiasis control programme achieved significant effectiveness in Wuhan City from 2005 to 2023, with a tendency towards a decline in morbidity due to schistosomiasis in humans and livestock and snail status. The integrated schistosomiasis control strategy with emphasis on management of the source of S. japonicum infections should continue to be implemented to consolidate the schistosomiasis control achievements and achieve the goal of schistosomiasis elimination in the city.

Objective　To analyze and visualize the epidemic changes of schistosomiasis in Wuhan from 2013 to 2022 based on a geographical information system (GIS), providing references for further schistosomiasis control activities. Methods　According to the historical data of the annual reports of schistosomiasis screening and street-level vector map of Wuhan City from 2013 to 2022, a spatial database of epidemic information at the street level was established. The Joinpoint regression model was utilized to analyze the trend of phased changes in blood positivity rate for schistosomiasis. ArcMap 10.8 was employed for the spatial visualization of the positive rate of serological tests for schistosomiasis among the screened population in the endemic areas of Wuhan over the past decade, as well as conducting hot spot analysis (Getis-Ord Gi*) to explore the spatial clustering relationship and spatiotemporal trends. Heatmaps were generated to reflect the changes in the positive rate of blood tests for schistosomiasis over a decade in various streets, and the areas were classified by the ward’s method of hierarchical clustering using the sum of squared deviations. Results　Over the past decade, the overall annual positive rate of schistosomiasis screening in Wuhan declined from 2.23% in 2013 to 0.47% in 2022, showing a general downward trend. The Joinpoint regression model analysis of the blood positive rate indicated the presence of one connection point in 2015; from 2013 to 2015, the annual percent change (APC) of the positive rate was 2.17%, showing an upward trend (P>0.05); from 2015 to 2022, the APC was -23.34%, indicating a downward trend (P<0.05). The map of positive street-level schistosomiasis screening rates for 2013-2022 shows that the positive rate count on the streets of Caidian District and Hannan District in southwestern Wuhan and Huashan Street on the east side, had a significant decrease over the ten years, while the rate in the streets under the jurisdiction of Dongxihu District in the west showed an increase. The hot spot analysis graph revealed that hot spots of the positive rate in Wuhan shifted from the southwest to the west beginning in 2018. The heatmap indicated the largest disparity in trend changes, with the most noteworthy decline in streets under Caidian District and an increasing trend in the streets under Dongxihu District. Conclusions　The overall epidemic situation of schistosomiasis in Wuhan is on a downtrend, although the positive rate of blood tests has increased in some areas. This has been attributed to a reduction in the total number of people participating in the blood tests and the slow decrease of antibodies in certain patients who were repeatedly sampled for testing. It is important to further strengthen the construction of monitoring capabilities, improve the sensitivity of monitoring systems, identify potential risks promptly, and handle them properly.

Objective To analyze the trends in Oncomelania hupensis distribution in Wuhan City, Hubei Province from 2003 to 2022, so as to provide insights into precision schistosomiasis control. Methods Data pertaining to O. hupensis snail survey in Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022 were collected. The trends in the proportion of areas with snail habitats, actual area with snail habitats, mean density of living snails and prevalence of Schistosoma japonicum infection in snails were evaluated in schistosomiasis-endemic areas of Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022 with the slope of trend curve (β), annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) using a Joinpoint regression model. Results During the period from 2003 through 2022, there were two turning points for the proportion of areas with snail habitats in Wuhan City in 2005 and 2015, with a rise during the period from 2003 to 2005 (β₁ = 5.93, t = 1.280, P > 0.05), a decline from 2005 to 2015 (β₂ = −0.88, t = −2.074, P > 0.05) and a rise from 2015 to 2022 (β₃ = 1.46, t = −2.356, P < 0.05). During the period from 2003 through 2022, there were two turning points for the proportion of areas with snail habitats in islet endemic areas of Wuhan City in 2006 and 2015, with no significant differences in the trends from 2003 to 2006 (β₁ = 4.64, t = 1.888, P > 0.05) or from 2006 to 2015 (β₂ = −1.45, t = −2.143, P > 0.05), and with a tendency towards a rise from 2015 to 2022 (β₃ = 2.04, t = −3.100, P < 0.05). During the period from 2003 through 2022, there were two turning points for the proportion of areas with snail habitats in inner embankment endemic areas of Wuhan City in 2012 and 2020, with a tendency towards a decline from 2003 to 2012 (β₁ = −0.39, t = −4.608, P < 0.05) and with no significant differences in the trends from 2012 to 2020 (β₂ = 0.03, t = 0.245, P > 0.05) and from 2020 to 2022 (β₃ = 1.38, t = 1.479, P > 0.05). During the period from 2003 to 2022, the actual area with snail habitats all appeared a tendency towards a decline in Wuhan City, and in islet and inner embankment endemic areas of Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022 (AAPC = −2.39%, −5.75% and −2.35%, all P values < 0.05). The mean density of living snails reduced from 0.087 snails/0.1 m² in 2003 to 0.027 snails/0.1 m² in 2022 in Wuhan City, with a significant difference in the tendency towards the decline (APC = AAPC = −11.47%, P < 0.05). The annual mean decline rate of the mean density of living snails was 17.36% in outside embankment endemic areas of Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022 (APC = AAPC = −17.36%, P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the trends in the mean density of living snails in islet endemic areas of Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022 (APC = AAPC = −0.97%, P > 0.05). In addition, the prevalence of S. japonicum infection in snails appeared a tendency towards a decline in Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022 (APC = AAPC = −12.45%, P < 0.05). Conclusions The proportion of areas with snail habitats, actual area with snail habitats, mean density of living snails and prevalence of S. japonicum infection in snails all appeared a tendency towards a decline in Wuhan City from 2003 to 2022. Intensified snail control, modification of snail habitats, shrinking of areas with snails and implementation of grazing prohibition in snail-infested settings are required, in order to facilitate the progress towards schistosomiasis elimination in Wuhan City.

Objective:To elucidate the etiological and epidemiological characteristics and epidemiological patterns of viral acute respiratory infections (ARI) in Shanghai during 2023, with the aim of providing robust laboratory evidence for effective prevention and control strategies against related respiratory diseases and facilitating risk assessment.Methods:Respiratory pathogens were detected in the clinical surveillance specimens submitted by sentinel hospitals through multiplex PCR, as part of the multi-pathogen surveillance of acute respiratory infections in Shanghai during 2023. The obtained detection result were statistically analyzed in conjunction with sample information.Results:The positive detection rate of viral pathogens in 2023 was 21.17% (984/4 648), with rates of 33.53% (504/1 503) observed in ILI cases and 15.62% (480/3 145) in SARI cases. Influenza A virus (FluA) was the predominant virus detected, accounting for 13.7% (637/4 648). Other viruses identified in the surveillance samples included influenza B virus (Flu B), human rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/HEV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), adenovirus (ADV) and human bocavirus (HBoV). Regarding temporal distribution, HRV/HEV and RSV exhibited the highest detection rates during the second quarter at 2.27% each (28/1 236). PIV had its peak during the third quarter at a rate of 2.49% (35/1 405), and HMPV showed prevalence mainly during the third and fourth quarters, with detection rates of 2.63% (37/1 405) and 2.35% (32/1 360), respectively.Conclusions:In acute respiratory infection surveillance cases in Shanghai in 2023, Flu A emerged as the predominant respiratory pathogen. The detection rate of HMPV ranked second only to Flu A, while other respiratory viruses such as HRV/HEV, RSV, and PIV were detected during different seasons and co-circulated. The prevalence of various respiratory viruses varied among different infected populations and over times.

The tumor microenvironment,particularly the hypoxic property and glutathione(GSH)overexpression,substantially inhibits the efficacy of cancer therapy.In this article,we present the design of a magnetic nanoplatform(MNPT)comprised of a photosensitizer(Ce6)and an iron oxide(Fe3O4)/manganese oxide(MnO2)composite nanozyme.Reactive oxygen species(ROS),such as singlet oxygen(1O2)radicals produced by light irradiation and hydroxyl radicals(·OH)produced by catalysis,are therapeutic species.These therapeutic substances stimulate cell apoptosis by increasing oxidative stress.This apoptosis then triggers the immunological response,which combines photodynamic therapy and T-cell-mediated immunotherapy to treat cancer.Furthermore,MNPT can be utilized as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance and fluorescence dual-modality imaging to give real-time tracking and feedback on treatment.

Myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)is a heterogeneous myeloid tumor that originates from hematopoietic stem cells(HSCs)and is associated with a high risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Studies have shown that 90%of patients with MDS have gene mutations,of whom approximately 25%have SF3B1 mutations.In patients with MDS carrying this mutation,the TGF-β pathway is upregu-lated,inducing cell cycle arrest and thereby leading to erythroid ineffective hematopoiesis and pathological hematopoiesis.Luspatercept can be used as a ligand trap to capture TGF-β ligands,inhibit SMAD2/3 pathway activation,downregulate TGF-β pathway,and promote ad-vanced red blood cell maturation.Currently,it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for the treatment of anemia in patients with low-risk MDS,and studies have shown that the response rate is higher in patients with SF3B1 mutations.This article will re-view the current status of luspatercept in the treatment of SF3B1 mutation-related MDS;it will also analyze its effectiveness and safety and provide therapeutic strategies for clinical use.

Objective:To investigated the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with colorectal polyps in part of Xinjiang area and to explore the associated influencing factors related to psychological status, and to provide evidence and clues to promote the diagnosis and treatment of psychosomatic diseases in digestive system.Methods:From December 2021 to June 2022, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University, the Fourth Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Third Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (Kashgar Hospital), the Thirteenth Division Red Star Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Tenth Division Beitun Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Seventh Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Fifth Division Hospital of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, patients who underwent colonoscopy and colorectal polyps detected were enrolled. The generalized anxiety disorder scale-7 (GAD-7) was used to screen anxiety symptoms, and the patient health questionaire-8 (PHQ-8) was performed to screen depression symptoms, and the general situation questionnaire was used to collect clinical information of patients. The questionnairs were completed via the Questionnaire Star platform or paper questionnaire, and a database was established. The patients were divided into groups according to whether with anxiety and depression symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression models was performed to analyze the factors related to anxiety and depression.Results:A total of 516 questionnaires were distributed and collected, among which 9 questionnaires were incomplete and 507 questionnaires were valid, the effective rate of questionnaires was 98.26%. The detection rates of anxiety and depression symptoms in 507 patients with colorectal polyps were 21.50%(109/507) and 19.33%(98/507), respectively. The results of multivariable logistic analysis revealed that female ( OR=3.87, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.30 to 6.51, P<0.001), maximum diameter of polyp ( OR=1.74, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.67, P=0.011), perception of polyps as cancer ( OR=13.96, 95% CI 1.48 to 132.07, P=0.022), and the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms after polyp detection ( OR=5.43, 95% CI 1.74 to 16.92, P=0.004) were independent risk factors of anxiety in patients with colorectal polyps. Female ( OR=2.42, 95% CI 1.47 to 4.00, P=0.001), the number of polyps ( OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.13, P=0.028) and the count of gastrointestinal symptoms ( OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.34 to 3.10, P=0.001) were independent risk factors of depression in patients with colorectal polyps. Conclusion:Gender, polyp size, number of polyps, disease perception, and concomitant gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with anxiety and depression in patients with colorectal polyps.

Menopausal syndromes are mostly based on kidney deficiency， which could be expalined that kidney governing essence storage and controlling innateness， so when the kidney water was deficient and the liver fail to nourish， then led to liver depression and transform into fire； deficiency of the kidney， loss of warmth of the spleen， and inability to transport and transform the water and dampness will easily lead to phlegm and fire； the decline of the kidney yin and loss of water and fire will easily cause the exuberance of heart fire. Therefore， clinical symptoms of hot flashes， insomnia， and palpitations are common due to phlegm， depressions， and fire. Based on this， at the beginning of the treatment， we should treat the symptoms firstly by resolving phlegm， relieving depression and clearing fire， and commonly use Huanglian Wendan Decoction （黄连温胆汤）， Yigan Powder （抑肝散）， Chaihu plus Longgu Muli Decoction （柴胡加龙骨牡蛎汤）， and Qingxin Zishen Decoction （清心滋肾饮）， etc. After improving the symptoms of hot flashes and sweating， irritability， dreaming and frightening， then we should give the prescriptions to tonify kidney yang and nourish kidney yin， in order to eliminate the pathogens and reinforce healthy qi， and to treat both the manifestations and the root cause， so that the symptoms of the patients can be better alleviated.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction combined with thunder fire moxibustion in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. A total of 200 lumbar intervertebral disc herniation patients from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2021 were selected as observation objects and the computer random method was used to divide 66 patients into combination group, 67 in the control group 1, and 67 in the control group 2. The Control group 1 was given conventional western medicine and thunder fire moxibustion, the control group 2 was given conventional western medicine and Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction, and the combined group was given conventional western medicine and Bushen Huoxue Shujin Decoction and thunder fire moxibustion. All the groups were treated with 14 days as a course of treatment, a total of 3 courses. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment, and lumbar joint activity was measured by using a muscle state testing analyzer; the levels of NF-κB, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) were determined by ELISA; adverse reactions during treatment were recorded and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the combination group was 92.42%(61/66), the control group 1 was 71.64% (48/67), and the control group 2 was 74.63% (50/67), with a statistically significant difference among the three groups ( χ2=10.28, P=0.006). After treatment, the scores of waist and leg pain, lumbar stiffness, lower limb numbness, and tongue dullness in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the control group 1 and control group 2 ( F values were 15.25, 12.21, 11.77, 14.49, respectively, P<0.01); the range of motion of lumbar joint forward flexion, backward extension, lateral flexion, and lateral rotation in the combination group were significantly greater than those in the control group 1 and control group 2 ( F values were 19.66, 29.50, 33.33, and 24.54, respectively, P<0.01); the levels of serum NF-κB [(41.29±5.91)ng/L vs. (49.97±5.98)ng/L, (50.92±6.02)ng/L, F=47.00], PGE2 [(67.09±8.08)ng/L vs. (80.22±9.92)ng/L, (78.17±9.09)ng/L, F=40.27], HIF-2α[(16.95±3.46) ng/L vs. (20.83±3.98)ng/L, (19.67±3.89)ng/L, F=18.38] in combination group were significantly lower than those in the control group 1 and control group 2 ( P<0.01). During the treatment period, the incidence of adverse reactions in the combination group was 15.15% (10/66), control group 1 was 8.96% (6/67), and control group 2 was 10.45% (7/67), there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups ( χ2=1.36, P=0.506).
