Objective: To investigate the situation of road traffic injuries (RTIs) among middle school students in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for implementation of interventions against RTIs among students. Methods: From 2021 to 2023, a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 82 junior high school classes and 89 senior high school classes in Shaoxing City as the survey population. Data on basic information, commuting travel, road safety behaviors and road safety knowledge awareness were collected through questionnaires, and the prevalence of RTIs in the past year was analyzed. Results: A total of 6 287 middle school students were surveyed, and 971 cases of RTIs were reported, with a reporting rate of 15.44%. The reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females (17.68% vs. 13.34%, P<0.05). The reporting rate of RTIs was higher in high school students than in junior high school students (17.70% vs. 12.66%, P<0.05). The students who mainly walked to school (18.00%), walked 5 days a week (17.82%) and traveled with classmates (17.58%) had higher reporting rates of RTIs. Among those who walked for ≥20 minutes, the reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females (P<0.05). Among different road safety behaviors, the reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females who used electronic devices (P<0.05). The reporting rates of RTIs were relatively high among students who played for ≥10 minutes on the way (32.92%), crossed traffic lights directly when being late for school (41.54%) and crossed traffic barriers directly (30.67%). The reporting rate of RTIs among middle school students decreased with the increase of road safety knowledge scores (P<0.05). Conclusions Male students, high school students, students with road risky behaviors and with low awareness of road safety knowledge have higher reporting rates of RTIs. It is necessary to strengthen road safety knowledge education for students.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of emodin on focal cerebral ischemia in rats based on myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)pathway and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)nuclear translocation.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group and emodin group,with six rats in each group.The rat model of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(tMCAO)was established by middle cerebral artery embolization.Rats in the emodin group were given 40 mg·kg-1 emodin by gavage for three times at 72,48 and 24 hours before modeling.At 24 hours after modeling,the neurological function of rats was scored.TTC staining was used to detect the area of cerebral infarction.HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of brain tissue.The mRNA expression levels of MyD88 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in brain tissue were detected by RT-qPCR.The expression levels of MyD88,ERK,p-ERK and TNF-α in brain tissue were detected by Western Blot.The protein expression of NF-κB in brain tissue was detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the neurological function score of the model group was significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the cerebral infarction area was significantly increased(P＜0.01).In the cortical area of the ischemic penumbra,cell necrosis,abnormal cell morphology,nuclear fragmentation and atrophy,and the number of cells decreased significantly;the mRNA expression levels of MyD88 and TNF-α in brain tissue were significantly increased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),the protein levels of MyD88,p-ERK/ERK and TNF-α were significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001),and the proportion of NF-κB into nuclear cells was significantly increased(P＜0.001).Compared with the model group,the neurological function score of rats in the emodin group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the area of cerebral infarction was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).The number and morphology of neurons in the ischemic penumbra cortex were restored to a certain extent.The mRNA expression levels of MyD88 and TNF-α in brain tissue were significantly decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),the protein levels of MyD88,p-ERK/ERK and TNF-α were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),and the proportion of NF-κB into nuclear cells was significantly decreased(P＜0.001).Conclusion Emodin has a preventive and protective effect on rats with focal cerebral ischemia,which may be related to its inhibition of MyD88 activation,ERK phosphorylation and NF-κB nuclear translocation,and then down-regulation of inflammatory cascades and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors such as TNF-α,thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants have made COVID-19 convalescents susceptible to re-infection and have raised concern about the efficacy of inactivated vaccination in neutralization against emerging variants and antigen-specific B cell response. To this end, a study on a long-term cohort of 208 participants who have recovered from COVID-19 was conducted, and the participants were followed up at 3.3 (Visit 1), 9.2 (Visit 2), and 18.5 (Visit 3) months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. They were classified into three groups (no-vaccination (n = 54), one-dose (n = 62), and two-dose (n = 92) groups) on the basis of the administration of inactivated vaccination. The neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers against the wild-type virus continued to decrease in the no-vaccination group, but they rose significantly in the one-dose and two-dose groups, with the highest NAb titers being observed in the two-dose group at Visit 3. The NAb titers against the Delta variant for the no-vaccination, one-dose, and two-dose groups decreased by 3.3, 1.9, and 2.3 folds relative to the wild-type virus, respectively, and those against the Omicron variant decreased by 7.0, 4.0, and 3.8 folds, respectively. Similarly, the responses of SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific B cells and memory B cells were boosted by the second vaccine dose. Results showed that the convalescents benefited from the administration of the inactivated vaccine (one or two doses), which enhanced neutralization against highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variants and memory B cell responses. Two doses of inactivated vaccine among COVID-19 convalescents are therefore recommended for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccination guidelines and policies need to be updated.

Methods A total of 234 patients with hyperparathyroidism that confirmed by operation and pathology were collected from September 2017 to September 2019. Results The median PTH levels in PHPT group and SHPT group were 210.93 (122.60～529.20) pg/ml and 1842.50 (1342.50～2345.00) pg/ml, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (Z = − 10.83, P = 0.000). SHPT group was significantly higher than that in PHPT group. The median of Ca level of PHPT group and SHPT group was 2.86 (2.65～3.15) mmol/L and 2.43 (2.32～2.58) mmol/L, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (Z = −7.52, P = 0.000). The level of Ca in PHPT group was significantly higher than that in SHPT group. The median of P level in PHPT group and SHPT group was 0.80 (0.64～1.03) mmol/L and 2.26 (1.97～2.63) mmol/L respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (Z = − 10.15, P = 0.000), and the PHPT group was significantly lower than the SHPT group. The age, gender, PTH and Ca and P value were taken as independent variables, and the results of MIBI imaging were used as dependent for logistic regression analysis. After screening, the influencing factor of PHPT group was PTH value (OR: 1.012, 95% CI: 1.002～1.023), and correlation analysis showed that r = 0.60 (P = 0.000). No related factors were found in SHPT group. ROC curves of ⁹⁹Tc^m-MIBI imaging results in PHPT group were drawn, corresponding to the areas under the maximum curve of 0.91, and the calculated cutoff value was 113.1 pg/mL. simple scatter plot of Ca value, P value and PTH value was drawn in PHPT group and SHPT group, and correlation analysis was performed. In PHPT group, Ca value and PTH value had moderate correlation (r = 0.64, P = 0.000), P value and PTH value had low correlation (r = − 0.28, P = 0.032); in SHPT group: Ca value and PTH value had low correlation (r = 0.17, P = 0.03), P value and PTH value had no correlation (P = 0.15). Conclusion The serum PTH level of PHPT was moderately correlated with MIBI imaging results. The higher the serum PTH level, the higher the positive rate of MIBI imaging, and the corresponding cutoff value of MIBI imaging was 113.1 pg/mL. There was a moderate correlation between serum Ca level and serum PTH level in PHPT, while in SHPT group low correlation between serum Ca level and serum PTH level.

Objective　To study the protective effect and possible mechanism of Human Urinary Kallindinogenase （UK） after ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice. Methods　Middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） was establish for 1 h and then reperfusion to mimic ischemic stroke in mice. UK treatment with high （35×10 -3 PNAU/kg） and low （17.5×10 -3 PNAU/kg） does were intravenous injection after reperfusion for 30 min，respectively. 2，3，5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining was used to assay cerebral infarction size，neurological assessment was performed according to Bederson method. Elisa methods was applied to determine serum and brain tissue IL-1β、IL-18 content，and Real time PCR and Western blot were exerted to evaluate NLRP3，ASC，and caspase-1 mRNA and protein expression.
