ObjectiveTo study the effects of applying different microbial fertilizers on the growth and rhizosphere soil environment of Codonopsis pilosula and provide a theoretical basis for ecological cultivation of this medicinal plant. MethodsSeven groups were designed, including CK (no application of microbial fertilizer), T1 (Trichoderma longibrachiatum fertilizer), T2 (Bacillus subtilis fertilizer), T3 (Trichoderma viride fertilizer), T4 (compound microbial fertilizer), T5 (C. pilosula stems and leaves fermented with compound microbial fertilizer), and T6 (Scutellaria baicalensis stems and leaves fermented with T. viride fertilizer). The physiological indicators, yield, and quality of C. pilosula and the physicochemical properties, enzyme activities, and microbial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of different fertilizer treatments were measured. ResultsGroup T1 showed slight decreases in soluble protein content (SPC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Groups T2-T6 showed increases in physiological indicators such as proline (Pro), soluble solids content (SSC), SPC, catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) and a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) in C. pilosula leaves. All the fertilizer treatments increased the yield of C. pilosula and the total polysaccharide content in the roots. T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 increased the total flavonoid content in the roots. Meanwhile, T4 increased the total saponin content in the roots. All the fertilizer treatments reduced the pH and increased the electric conductivity (EC), soil organic matter (SOM), and alkaline nitrogen (AN) in the soil. T2 and T5 increased the available phosphorus (AP), and T3, T4, T5, and T6 increased the available potassium (AK) in the soil. All the fertilizer treatments increased the activities of urease, sucrase, and CAT in the soil. Except that T1 decreased the bacterial diversity in the soil, other fertilizer treatments significantly increased bacterial and fungal diversity in the soil. Different fertilizer treatments significantly affected the composition of bacterial and fungal communities in the soil. At the phylum level, the dominant bacterial phyla included Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota, and Bacteroideta, and the dominant fungal phyla were Ascomycota, Mortierellomycota, and unclassified_fungi in the rhizosphere soil of C. pilosula after bacterial fertilizer treatment. At the genus level, unclassified Gemmatimonadaceae, Sphingomonas, and unclassified Vicinamibacteraceae were the dominant bacterial genera, while unidentified, unclassified Fungi, and unclassified Sordariomycetes were the dominant fungal genera in the rhizosphere soil. The results of redundancy analysis indicated that the main physicochemical factors affecting changes of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of C. pilosula were pH, EC, AK, AN, AP, and soil organic matter (SOM) in the soil. The correlation heatmap showed that Bryobacter had significantly positive correlations with EC, AK, and AN. There was a significantly negative correlation between Fusarium and SOM. In summary, applying an appropriate amount of microbial fertilizer can promote the growth and improve the rhizosphere soil environment of C. pilosula. ConclusionThe compound microbial fertilizer and the C. pilosula stems and leaves fermented with compound microbial fertilizer can improve the soil nutrients, growth, development, yield, and quality of C. pilosula, and thus they can be applied to the artificial cultivation of C. pilosula.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Gegen Qinliantang(GQT) on the intestinal flora of antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD) by 16S rRNA sequencing and network pharmacology. MethodSixty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups(n=10), including blank group, model group, GQT high-, medium- and low-dose groups(10.08, 5.04, 2.52 g·kg-1) as well as Lizhu Changle group(0.15 g·kg-1), except for the blank group, each group was given clindamycin(250 mg·kg-1) by gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days. After successful modeling, the blank group and the model group were given equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. The other groups were given corresponding doses of drugs by gavage for 14 days. Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP) was used to screen the active components and targets of GQT, GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM) database, Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base(PharmGKB), DrugBank and DisGeNET were used to search for AAD disease targets. The drug-disease common targets were obtained by R software. STRING was applied to analyze the target protein-protein interaction, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed. Then hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the colon, and 16S rRNA sequencing of AAD colon content flora structure further verified the results of network pharmacology. ResultThrough network pharmacology, it was found that 238 active components were screened from GQT and acted on 276 component targets, among which quercetin, puerarin, wogonin and apigenin were the main core components of GQT, 1 097 AAD disease targets and 127 drug-disease intersection targets. The protein-protein interaction network mainly included core targets such as protein kinase B1(Akt1), interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β, which were mainly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway. It was verified through animal experiments that compared with the blank group, the colon structure of the model group was seriously abnormal, the intestinal epithelial columnar cells were damaged, the goblet cells were reduced, and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated. Compared with the model group, the colon structure of the GQT high-dose group improved, but there were still abnormalities, the colon structure of GQT medium- and low- dose groups and Lizhu Changle group improved significantly and reached the normal level. GQT could improve the structural diversity of AAD intestinal flora. At the phylum level, the abundance of Firmicutes was increased and the abundance of Bacteroidetes was decreased. At the genus level, the abundance of Lactobacillus was increased, and the abundances of Prevotella and Bacteroides were decreased. Among them, Lactococcus could be used as a biomarker for AAD treatment with GQT, and the prediction of functional metabolism of intestinal flora revealed that GQT could promote acetate and lactate metabolic pathways in the intestine. ConclusionGQT may activate IL-17 signaling pathway by acting on the targets of Akt1 and IL-6 through key components such as quercetin and wogonin, and improve the abundance of Lactococcus in the intestinal tract as well as acetate and lactate metabolic pathways, so as to play a role in repairing the intestinal barrier for the treatment of AAD.

Objective:To explore the improvement of diaphragm function after early off-bed mobility intervention in intensive care unit (ICU) patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 147 adult patients undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to ICU of Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from October 2019 to March 2022 were enrolled. The patients were divided into control group and observation group by convenient sampling. Except for the different intervention programs of early mobility, other treatment and nursing of the patients in the two groups were carried out according to ICU routine. Progressive early activities were performed in the control group, while early off-bed mobility was performed in the observation group. The changes of diaphragm thickness at the end of inspiratory (DTei), diaphragm thickness at the end of expiratory (DTee) and diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) before and 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of intervention, and the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay and 24-hour re-intubation rate after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:Among the 147 patients, there were 4 cases of detachment in the control group and 5 cases of detachment in the observation group. Finally, 138 patients were enrolled, 69 cases in the control group and 69 cases in the observation group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, diagnosis of ICU, sedatives, muscle strength, ventilator model, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and DTei, DTee, DTF before intervention between the two groups. The DTei, DTee and DTF in both groups were increased gradually with the extension of intervention time, especially in the observation group [DTei (cm) at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of intervention in the observation group were 0.247±0.014, 0.275±0.016, 0.300±0.013 and 0.329±0.013, while in the control group were 0.242±0.015, 0.258±0.013, 0.269±0.014, and 0.290±0.017, effect of time: F = 993.825, P = 0.000, effect of intervention: F = 82.304, P = 0.000, interaction effect between intervention and time: F = 84.457, P = 0.000; DTee (cm) of the observation group were 0.213±0.014, 0.227±0.013, 0.243±0.016, 0.264±0.010, while in the control group were 0.213±0.016, 0.218±0.013, 0.224±0.013, 0.234±0.014, effect of time: F = 385.552, P = 0.000, effect of intervention: F = 28.161, P = 0.000, interaction effect between intervention and time: F = 45.012, P = 0.000; DTF of the observation group were (15.98±4.23)%, (21.35±4.67)%, (24.09±4.44)% and (25.24±3.74)%, while in the control group were (14.17±4.66)%, (18.11±3.92)%, (20.22±4.19)% and (20.98±4.12)%, effect of time: F = 161.552, P = 0.000, effect of intervention: F = 49.224, P = 0.000, interaction effect between intervention and time: F = -4.507, P = 0.000]. The duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [duration of mechanical ventilation (hours): 112.68±12.25 vs. 135.32±22.10, length of ICU stay (days): 7.84±1.78 vs. 10.23±2.43, both P < 0.01]. However, there was no significant difference in 24-hour re-intubation rate between the observation group and the control group (0% vs. 2.90%, P > 0.05). Conclusions:Both early off-bed mobility and progressive early activities can prevent diaphragm weakness in ICU patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, and the effect of early off-bed mobility is better. Early off-bed mobility can significantly shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay, and it is safe and feasible.

Objective To explore the application value of machine learning models in predicting postoperative survival of patients with thoracic squamous esophageal cancer. Methods The clinical data of 369 patients with thoracic esophageal squamous carcinoma who underwent radical esophageal cancer surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from January 2014 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 279 (75.6%) males and 90 (24.4%) females aged 41-78 years. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (259 patients) and a test set (110 patients) with a ratio of 7 : 3. Variable screening was performed by selecting the best subset of
features. Six machine learning models were constructed on this basis and validated in an independent test set. The performance of the models' predictions was evaluated by area under the curve (AUC), accuracy and logarithmic loss, and the fit of the models was reflected by calibration curves. The best model was selected as the final model. Risk stratification was performed using X-tile, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test. Results The 5-year postoperative survival rate of the patients was 67.5%. All clinicopathological characteristics of patients between the two groups in the training and test sets were not statistically different (P>0.05). A total of seven variables, including hypertension, history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, degree of tissue differentiation, pN stage, vascular invasion and nerve invasion, were included for modelling. The AUC values for each model in the independent test set were: decision tree (AUC=0.796), support vector machine (AUC=0.829), random forest (AUC=0.831), logistic regression (AUC=0.838), gradient boosting machine (AUC=0.846), and XGBoost (AUC=0.853). The XGBoost model was finally selected as the best model, and risk stratification was performed on the training and test sets. Patients in the training and test sets were divided into a low risk group, an intermediate risk group and a high risk group, respectively. In both data sets, the differences in surgical prognosis among three groups were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion Machine learning models have high value in predicting postoperative prognosis of thoracic squamous esophageal cancer. The XGBoost model outperforms common machine learning methods in predicting 5-year survival of patients with thoracic squamous esophageal cancer, and it has high utility and reliability.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(2):209-212
Objective:
To analyze the situation of AIDS knowledge and discrimination among freshmen in Chengdu city, and to explore possible effects of AIDS knowledge on discrimination.
Methods:
A cluster random sampling was employed to investigate 1 053 college students from 11 universities in Chengdu about their HIV/AIDS knowledge and discrimination. The scores of AIDS knowledge and discrimination of students with different characteristics were analyzed, and the influence path of AIDS knowledge on AIDS discrimination were further analyzed based on different peer relationships.
Results:
The total scores of AIDS knowledge was negatively correlated to AIDS discrimination( r s =-0.13, P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, the total score of AIDS knowledge was associated with the total score of AIDS discrimination( β =-0.12, P <0.01). AIDS knowledge played a role in AIDS discrimination in intimate, general and unfamiliar peer relationships, with standardized path coefficients of -0.20, -0.24 and -0.18 respectively( P <0.01).
Conclusion
AIDS knowledge are correlated with discrimination among freshmen under different peer relationships. More anti-AIDS discrimination courses should be added to AIDS education to reduce the students’ fear and stigma of HIV/AIDS patients and related risk groups.

Objective:To analyze the expressions of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) driver genes and their mutation distribution characteristics in the Yunnan-Kweichow plateau, and to provide evidences for personalized molecular targeted therapy of lung cancer in high-incidence areas.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of patients with NSCLC who underwent combined lung cancer 8 gene detection, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), rat sarcoma viral oncogene (RAS), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), RET proto-oncogene (RET), v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (BRAF), ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), and cellular-mesenchymal to epithelial transition factor (MET), from January 2016 to August 2019 in Yunnan Cancer Hospital. Besides, we analyzed the expressions of NSCLC driver genes and their mutation distributions.Results:The positive rate of NSCLC driver genes in Yunnan was 67.05%(1 508/2 249). The mutation rates in Xishuangbanna (76.92%), Yuxi (72.38%), Xuanwei (71.88%), Qujing (71.24%), and Honghe (71.79%) were significantly higher than other areas. The mutation rates of Hui (84.38%), Hani (85.00%), Zhuang (75.00%), Buyi (100%), Manchu (100%), Tujia (100%) and Achang (100%) are significantly higher than the minority national average. Driver gene mutations were related to gender ( P<0.001), smoking history ( P<0.001), age ( P<0.001), pathological type ( P<0.001), and whether the Xuanwei area ( P=0.027), but not related to the nationality ( P=0.748) and family history of lung cancer ( P=0.676). The mutation rates of EGFR, RAS, BRAF, HER-2 and MET genes were 44.46%, 10.98%, 1.24%, 0.89% and 0.76%, and the rearrangement rates of ALK, RET and ROS1 genes were 4.67%, 1.29% and 0.89%, respectively.The mutation rate of EGFR in females was 56.67%, which was higher than 33.19% in males ( P<0.001). The mutation rate of RAS in males was 12.66%, which was higher than 9.17% in females ( P=0.010). The mutation rate of RAS in the Han was 11.49%, which was higher than 7.17% in the minority ( P=0.032). The rate of RAS mutation in Xuanwei patients was 24.74%, significantly higher than 8.15% in non-Xuanwei area ( P<0.001), and the EGFR mutation rate was 40.63%, which was lower than 45.25% in non-Xuanwei area ( P=0.045). The rate of ALK rearrangement in Xuanwei patients was 1.56%, which was significantly lower than 5.31% in the non-Xuanwei area ( P<0.001), and no HER-2 mutation patients were detected in Xuanwei area. The mutation rate of EGFR in patients with non-smoking history was 51.10%, significantly higher than 29.70% of patients with smoking history ( P<0.001). Meanwhile, the rate of ALK rearrangement with non-smoking history patients was 5.35%, which was also higher than 3.16% of patients with smoking history ( P<0.001). The rate of RAS mutation in patients with non-smoking history was 9.34%, lower than 14.63% of patients with smoking history ( P=0.008). Conclusions:The positive rate of driven gene expression in NSCLC patients from the Yunnan-Kweichow Plateau is slightly lower than the national average. The rates of EGFR and RAS mutations are similar to the domestic average. The rates of ROS1, ALK and RET genes rearrangements and the rates of BRAF, HER2 and MET gene mutations are slightly lower than the national average. EGFR, RAS and ALK genes in the NSCLC patients from Yunnan-Kweichow Plateau have high positive rates, and display different demographic and clinical characteristics, which are of great significance in the selection of targeted therapy populations.
