Objective:To investigate the effects of cannabidiol(CBD)on the NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome in the brains of rats with multiple cerebral concussions(MCC).Methods:Rats were subjec-ted to the MCC model and divided into Sham,MCC,vehicle(MCC+TW),CBD-L(10 mg/kg),and CBD-H(40 mg/kg)groups.Immunofluorescence double staining was used to observe changes in NLRP3 and microglial cells in the brain,and Western Blot was performed to detect the expression changes of the NLRP3 inflammasome.Results:A sig-nificant increase in lectin-positive microglial cells of the cortex with enlarged cell bodies and elevated immunofluores-cence intensity of NLRP3 in the activated microglial cells was revealed by immunofluorescence double staining following MCC(P＜0.05).The immunofluorescence intensity of NLRP3 in the activated microglial cells was downregulated by the administration of CBD,with a more pronounced effect observed in the CBD-H group compared to the CBD-L group(P＜0.05).The expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC)in the cortex,hippocampus,and basal ganglia of rats following MCC was significantly increased,as shown by Western Blot analysis(P＜0.05),and cortical areas are more elevated.The expression of these proteins in different brain regions was reduced by CBD-10 and CBD-40 intervention(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Cannabidiol can reduce the inflammatory response of multiple cerebral concussions rats through NLRP3 inflammasome and protect nerve tissue.

Objective:To explore the impact of scutellarin on the levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(P13K)and phosphorylated P13K(p-PI3K)in activated microglia.Methods:A rat cerebral ischemia model was made by middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)method.SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham operation group(Sham),cerebral ischemia group(MCAO),and cerebral ischemia with scutellarin group(MCAO+S).A model of ischemia-hypoxia injury of BV2 microglia was established by glucose-oxygen deprivation(OGD)and randomly assigned as control group(Control),OGD group and OGD+scutellarin group(OGD+S).Changes in PI3K and p-PI3K expres-sion in microglia were assessed using double immunofluorescence staining and Western Blot.Results:Immunofluores-cence staining and Western Blot analyses revealed a significant increase in p-PI3K levels in activated microglia both in vivo and in vitro(P＜0.05).Furthermore,treatment with scutellarin led to a further elevation in p-PI3K(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant alterations observed in PI3 K expression among the groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Scutellarin may play a positive role in the treatment of cerebral ischemia by up-regulating the phosphorylation level of P13K in activated microglia.

Chronic pancreatitis(CP)is a progressive fibroinflammatory disease characterized by destruction of pancreatic aci-nar cells,infiltration of inflammatory cells,activation of pancreatic stellate cell(PSC),and pancreatic fibrosis.Autophagy partici-pates in the maintenance of cell homeostasis.Recent studies have shown that autophagy closely related to the occurrence and develop-ment of CP.However,several autophagy types in the pancreatic microenvironment play different roles in the progression of CP.The autophagy of acinar cells has a"double-edged sword"effect.PSC autophagy is positively correlated with its activation,while the role of autophagy of inflammatory cells is still unclear.This study focused on some key cells in the CP microenvironment and explored the role and mechanism of autophagy in the progression of CP.

ObjectiveTo learn the epidemiological features of foodborne diseases， and to provide scientific basis for disease control. MethodsThe monitoring data of foodborne diseases in Minhang from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed. Stool or swab specimens were collected to detect salmonella， Vibrio parahaemolyticus， Escherichia coli， Shigella， Campylobacter jejuni and norovirus. ResultsThe information of15 951 foodborne disease cases and 11 176 samples were collected， with the positive rate of 12.03%.The cases with diarrhea accounted for 99.90% of the total. The cases with fever accounted for 14.70% of the total. The cases with water stool accounted for 89.70% of the total. May to October were the epidemic periods of foodborne diseases in Minhang（79.78%）. The detection rate was the highest in the 30‒39 age group and cadre staff occupation（13.53%，13.49%）. The detection rates of foodborne bacteria and virus were 5.39% （Vibrio parahaemolyticus）， 3.25% （salmonella），1.44% （norovirus）， 1.06%（Escherichia coli）， 0.56% （Campylobacter jejuni）， 0.34% （mixed infection） and 0% （Shigella）. During this 5-year period， the positive rate of Vibrio parahaemolyticus decreased significantly， while the positive rate of salmonella and Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni increased significantly. The main suspected food were aquatic products （29.44%）， meat （25.80%） and fruits （10.78%）. The main processing methods of suspected food were family workshop （41.12%） and restaurants （37.55%）. The total detection rate of the cases was the highest in the canteen， reaching 20.51%. ConclusionFoodborne disease cases have a seasonal peak. The positive detection of pathogens tends to be similar year by year. The main suspected food is aquatic products. The main resources of suspected food are family workshop， restaurants， and canteen. Targeted health education， supervision and management should be taken to prevent the occurrence of foodborne diseases and the outbreak of food poisoning

Vincristine, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for treating different cancer, often induces severe peripheral neuropathic pain. A common symptom of vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathic pain is mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia. However, mechanisms underlying vincristine-induced mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia are not well understood. In the present study, we show with behavioral assessment in rats that vincristine induces mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in a PIEZO2 channel-dependent manner since gene knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of PIEZO2 channels alleviates vincristine-induced mechanical hypersensitivity. Electrophysiological results show that vincristine potentiates PIEZO2 rapidly adapting (RA) mechanically-activated (MA) currents in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. We have found that vincristine-induced potentiation of PIEZO2 MA currents is due to the enhancement of static plasma membrane tension (SPMT) of these cells following vincristine treatment. Reducing SPMT of DRG neurons by cytochalasin D (CD), a disruptor of the actin filament, abolishes vincristine-induced potentiation of PIEZO2 MA currents, and suppresses vincristine-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in rats. Collectively, enhancing SPMT and subsequently potentiating PIEZO2 MA currents in primary afferent neurons may be an underlying mechanism responsible for vincristine-induced mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia in rats. Targeting to inhibit PIEZO2 channels may be an effective analgesic method to attenuate vincristine-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing outpatient hemodialysis (HD) and home peritoneal dialysis (PD) are high risk population of severe and critical types caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. In order to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment in dialysis patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, we wrote this recommendation for primary care clinicians. During the epidemic period of SARS-CoV-2 infection, all patients should be instructed to strengthen self-management. Once the SARS-CoV-2 infection was found in dialysis patients, early stratified management should be carried out within 72 hours after the first positive nucleic acid or antigen test results, which includes early antiviral therapy, early recognition, and transferring severe patients from community or primary hospital to a referral hospital promptly. Guidance for dietary and sports rehabilitation after SARS-CoV-2 infection should also be started as soon as possible.

Objective:To explore the impact of weekend hospitalization on total hospitalization expenses for elderly patients with hip fracture under the geriatric orthopedic co-management.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze the clinical data of elderly patients with hip fracture who had been hospitalized for surgical treatment at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from May 2015 to December 2020. They were divided into 2 groups based on their admission date. Group A was admitted from Monday to Thursday while Group B from Friday to Sunday. The general demographic data, diagnostic information, comorbidities, hospitalization expenses of the patients were collected. The differences in total hospitalization expenses, hospitalization time, rate of surgery within 48 hours and rate of hospital mortality between the 2 groups were analyzed by rank sum test, chi square test, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression.Results:A total of 6,075 patients with hip fracture were included in this study, including 1,675 males and 4,400 females with a median age of 80 (74, 85) years. There were 3,935 ones in group A and 2,140 ones in group B. The total hospitalization expenses for group A was 58,160.52 (49,215.45, 72,748.94) yuan, insignificantly lower than those for Group B [58,412.90 (49,163.58, 72,712.61) yuan] ( P>0.05). The rate of surgery within 48 hours for group A was 75.8% (2,984/3,935), significantly higher than that for group B [49.3% (1,054/2,140)]. The hospitalization time for group A was 5 (4, 7) days, significantly less than that for group B [5 (4, 7) days] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of hospital mortality between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that total hospitalization expenses were significantly higher for patients admitted on weekends, hospitalization time was positively correlated with total hospitalization expenses, and total hospitalization expenses were significantly lower for the patients undergoing surgery within 48 hours ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Admission on weekends can increase total hospitalization expenses, prolong hospitalization time, and reduce rate of surgery within 48 hours for elderly patients with hip fracture.
