The COVID-19 is a severe respiratory pathogen infection, showing a distinct "hospital cluster" transmission characteristics. This paper illustrated the concept of occupational exposure and COVID-19. Combined with the actual situation of COVID-19, the infection status of medical personnel in this outbreak was analyzed from three aspects: the transmission risk and infection rate of medical personnel, the clinical characteristics and the undiscovered super-spreader. Through the analysis of the present situation, this paper summarized the possible occupational exposure risk factors of medical personnel in COVID-19 from five aspects: biological occupational risk factors, chemical occupational risk factors, physical occupational risk factors, violence factors and psychological factors. From isolating the source of infection and cutting off the transmission route, the "safety supervisor" mechanism is established to avoid the risks of biological, chemical and physical occupational exposure, from providing professional psychological counseling for medical personnel to reduce their psychological stress, and from improving the relevant legal level to reduce the risk of medical personnel’s violent occupational exposure.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide,with its incidence and mortality rates ranking third among malignant tumors in China.Regulated cell death(RCD)is a type of cell death activated by signal transduction modules and closely connected to the progression and treatment of gastric cancer.Different types of RCD,comprising apoptosis,pyroptosis,ferroptosis,cuproptosis,and autophagy,not only aid in eliminating damaged cells,but also serve a crucial role in suppressing gastric cancer spread.This paper reviews different forms of RCD and their roles in the progression of gastric cancer,so as to provide reference for new diagnosis and treatment strategies of gastric cancer.

ObjectiveBy starting with the combination of Os Draconis， Bupleuri Radix， and Ostreae Concha， the role of mineral medicine Os Draconis in the combination of the Bupleuri Radix-containing tri-herbal medicines was preliminarily explored from the perspective of supramolecular system formation. Method① The appearance and Tyndall phenomenon of single decoction of Os Draconis， Bupleuri Radix， and Ostreae Concha， as well as co-decoction of Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis， Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha， and Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha were observed， and the average particle size， dispersion coefficient， and Zeta potential of suspension particles in each decoction were determined. The micromorphology of supramolecular structures was observed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）. ② The pH of different compatibility systems， liquid viscosity coefficient， liquid surface tension， freeze-dried powder yield rate， and other physical properties were determined， and the interaction of different compatibility systems was detected by infrared absorption spectroscopy （FTIR） and UV-visible spectrophotometry （UV-Vis）. ③ The composition and content difference of different compatible systems were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）. ResultCompared with the single decoction， the co-decoction had more obvious turbidity and Tyndall phenomenon. The particles in the co-decoction suspension were smaller and more evenly distributed， and the Zeta potential was reduced， indicating a more stable system. Under SEM， Bupleuri Radix was irregularly lamellar， and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha were mainly spherical nanoparticles. Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha was irregularly lamellar， with a small number of spherical nanoparticles. The pH of the single decoction of Bupleuri Radix and co-decoction increased， and the viscosity coefficient increased. The liquid surface tension decreased. The freeze-dried powder yield rate of the Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis co-decoction was the highest， followed by Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha decoction and Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha decoction， and the yield rate of Bupleuri Radix single decoction was the lowest. The main change of FTIR was the stretching vibration of -OH， and the co-decoction moved to the low-frequency direction obviously. UV-Vis showed that the maximum absorption occurred at 295.8 nm for all groups， and the absorption intensity was different （Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis>Bupleuri Radix-Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha>Bupleuri Radix-Ostreae Concha>Bupleuri Radix）. The components of Bupleuri Radix were used as the indexes， and the content of methanol extract determined by HPLC was higher than that of water extract， and the components of Bupleuri Radix single decoction were mainly saikosaponin a （SSa） and saikosaponin c （SSc）， which were slightly higher after co-decoction compatibility. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS could identify 37 compounds in both single decoction and co-decoction. ConclusionThe combination of Bupleuri Radix， Os Draconis， and Ostreae Concha can form a smaller， more uniform， and stable nano-sized supramolecular system， which is conducive to the dissolution of the main components of Bupleuri Radix， and the Os Draconis contributes the most in this process.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a group of dementia diseases mainly characterized by progressive mental-behavioral abnormalities, executive dysfunction, and language impairment. A small number of FTD patients also present with movement disorders at certain disease course. Here the clinical and multimodal positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging manifestations in a patient with frontotemporal lobe dementia and parkinsonian syndrome are reported. 18F-fluorodopa PET showed reduced uptake in the head of the caudate nucleus. 18F-AV-45 PET showed negative amyloid deposition. 18F-AV-1451 PET showed tau deposition in the neocortex. The clinical and neuroimaging features support the underlying frontotemporal lobar degeneration-tau pathology.

Objective:To analyze the genetic and molecular characteristics of H9N2 subtype avian influenza viruses from external environment and humans in Anhui Province from 2013 to 2022.Methods:Environmental samples and human samples were collected from Anhui influenza surveillance network laboratory. Sixty-three strains of virus were isolated in chicken embryos. RT-PCR was used to amplify the virus and whole genome sequencing was performed. To construct gene evolutionary tree and analyze its genetic characteristics and potential glycosylation sites.Results:The hemagglutinin (HA) gene belongs to the 9.2.4.5 clade, and the protein cleavage sites are mostly " PSRSSR\GL". The neuraminidase (NA) gene, basic protein-1(PB1) gene, acidic protein (PA) gene, non-structural protein (NS) gene and nucleoprotein (NP) gene belong to the F/98 clade, the matrix protein (MP) gene belongs to the G1/97 clade, and the basic protein-2 (PB2) gene belongs to the ST/7488 clade. Mutations of T155N, R164Q, H183N, T189D/V, A190V/T and Q226L occurred in HA protein, deletion of NA protein occurred at 62-64 sites, and mutations of T271A, I292V/M and E627V/L occurred in PB2 protein. At the same time, mutations of K356R and S409N occurred in the PA protein.Conclusions:The H9N2 subtype avian influenza viruses collected from external environment and human sources in Anhui province from 2013 to 2022 belong to the same evolutionary branch, and amino acid site mutations suggest that the virus shows a tendency to gradually adapt to the mammalian host environment. Therefore, further studies on the adaptive evolution of the virus and related monitoring work are needed.

Background::Limited information exists regarding the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on psoriasis patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical factors associated with the prognosis of psoriasis following SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods::A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted between March and May 2023. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related psoriasis outcomes. The study included 2371 psoriasis patients from 12 clinical centers, with 2049 of them having been infected with SARS-CoV-2.Results::Among the infected groups, lower exacerbation rates were observed in individuals treated with biologics compared to those receiving traditional systemic or nonsystemic treatments (22.3% [236/1058] vs. 39.8% [92/231] vs. 37.5% [140/373], P <0.001). Psoriasis progression with lesions (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 8.197, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 5.685–11.820, compared to no lesions), hypertension (adjusted OR = 1.582, 95% CI = 1.068–2.343), traditional systemic (adjusted OR = 1.887, 95% CI= 1.263–2.818), and nonsystemic treatment (adjusted OR= 1.602, 95% CI= 1.117–2.297) were found to be associated with exacerbation of psoriasis after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but not biologics (adjusted OR = 0.931, 95% CI = 0.680–1.274, compared to no treatment), according to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusions::A reduced risk of psoriasis exacerbation after SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed with biologics compared to traditional systemic and nonsystemic treatments. Significant risk factors for exacerbation after infection were identified as existing psoriatic lesions and hypertension.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge of Sixth Chinese national consensus report on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection ( treatment excluded) (hereinafter referred to as sixth national consensus) and 2022 Chinese national clinical practice guideline on Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment (hereinafter referred to as the guideline)among medical staff from general hospitals in Hainan. Methods:From February 20 to May 7, 2023, a questionnaire survey on the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection was conducted among 1 463 medical staff from 15 general hospitals in Hainan Province. The questionnaire was drawn up according to the sixth national consensus and the guideline, covering knowledge of 6 sections, induding H. pylori related diseases, detection of H. pylori, eradication, prevention and influence factors of eradication of H. pylori, etc. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 1 463 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective responsive rate of 100.00%.The 1 463 subjects included 225 gastroenterologists and 1 238 other medical staff(including 503 physicians from other departments, 264 surgeons and 471 medical technologists and pharmacists). About 78.67%(177/225)of gastroenterologists agreed that the overall infection rate of H. pylori in China was more than 20%, the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff (physicians from other departments 65.41%(329/503), surgeons 61.74%(163/264), medical technologists and pharmacists 60.30%(284/471); the following datas were sorted by this position), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=30.97, P<0.001). About 51.11%(115/225) of gastroenterologists considered that H. pylori serological antibody test could not be used as a diagnostic method for current infection, the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff(22.07%(111/503), 14.02%(37/264), 12.31%(58/471)), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2 =152.66, P<0.001). Proton pump inhibitor and potassium-competitive acid blocker should be discontinued for 2 weeks, and antibiotics and bismuth should be discontinued for 4 weeks before urea breath test, and the awareness rates of gastroenterologists were higher than those of other medical staff (38.67%(87/225) vs. 23.26%(117/503), 19.70%(52/264), 18.47%(87/471); 60.89%(137/225) vs. 26.64%(134/503), 25.76%(68/264), 23.78%(112/471)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 =133.70 and 165.51, both P<0.001). For refractory H. pylori infection, 98.67%(222/225)of gastroenterologists agreed with the individualized diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori infection should be guided by bacterial culture, antibiotic susceptibility test or drug resistance gene test, and the awareness rate was higher than that of other medical staff (91.85%(462/503), 93.56%(247/264), 93.21%(439/471)), and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=20.55, P=0.002). About 70.67% (159/225) of gastroenterologists recommended a bismuth containing quadruple regimen, 80.44% (181/225) supported a 10 to 14 day H. pylori eradication course, and the awareness rates were higher than other medical staff (46.92%(236/503), 33.33%(88/264), 32.91%(155/471); 67.20%(338/503), 59.09%(156/264), 53.93%(254/471)), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=111.25 and 59.99, both P<0.001). The understanding rates of the sixth national consensus and the guideline in gastroenterologists was 85.33% (192/225), which was higher than that of other medical staff (64.21%(323/503), 66.67%(176/264), 57.96%(273/471)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=85.47, P<0.001). Conclusions:Gastroenterologists from general hospitals in Hainan Province have a better understanding of the sixth national consensus and the guideline than other medical staff. However, there is still a lack of deep understanding of the sixth national consensus and the guideline, and it is necessary to further strengthen the learning and application of the sixth national consensus and the guideline.
