Objective To understand the awareness and willingness of primary medical staff in Songjiang District, Shanghai towards human papillomavirus (HPV) and its vaccines, and to provide references for improving the vaccination willingness of HPV vaccine and primary prevention of cervical cancer. Methods From July to August 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the in-service medical staff in 17 community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai, using the random sampling method. Descriptive analysis, χ² test and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 951 valid questionnaires were collected during the survey. The awareness rate of HPV among medical staff was 92.74%, and the awareness rate of HPV vaccine was 93.38%. The maximum score for HPV knowledge was 6 points, with an average score of (3.99±1.34) points. The maximum score for HPV vaccine knowledge was 10 points, with an average score of (5.63±1.61) points. 881 (92.64%) medical staff were willing to receive or recommend HPV vaccination. Multivariate analysis showed that concerns about being infected with HPV (OR=2.648, 95% CI: 1.459-4.806), qualified score on HPV vaccine knowledge (OR=1.717, 95% CI: 1.012-2.912), high price burden of HPV vaccine (OR=0.343, 95% CI: 0.157-0.746), and concerns about side effects of vaccination (OR=0.443, 95% CI: 0.243-0.805) were the influencing factors for medical staff's willingness to vaccinate. Conclusion There is insufficient knowledge of HPV and its vaccines among primary medical personnel in Songjiang District, Shanghai. It is necessary to strengthen the continuing education of medical personnel through multiple channels, supplement the HPV-related knowledge system, and eliminate their concerns about vaccines.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence rate of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） pancreatitis （PEP） in patients with difficult common bile duct intubation undergoing pancreatic duct stenting during surgery， as well as the effect of pancreatic duct stenting in the prevention and treatment of PEP， and to provide a basis for clinical treatment. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 186 patients with biliary tract disease who underwent initial ERCP and had difficult common bile duct intubation in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2024， and according to the condition of pancreatic duct stenting， the patients were divided into control group with 73 patients （without pancreatic duct stenting）， 5Fr-5 cm stent group with 67 patients， and 7Fr-5 cm stent group with 46 patients. The three groups were compared in terms of baseline data， intraoperative procedures， and postoperative outcomes. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the Dunn method was used for further comparison between two groups； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for PEP in patients with difficult intubation during ERCP. ResultsThe overall incidence rate of PEP was 12.37% （23/186）. Compared with the 5Fr-5 cm stent group and the 7Fr-5 cm stent group， the control group had a significantly higher incidence rate of PEP， a significantly higher score of postoperative abdominal pain， and a significantly longer length of postoperative hospital stay （all P0.01）， and 55.56% of the patients in the control group had moderate-to-severe PEP. The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intradiverticular papilla， double guide wire intubation， needle knife precut， the application of basket and balloon for removal of common bile duct stones， intraoperative biopsy， pancreatic duct stenting， intubation time≤10 minutes， frequency of intubation≤5 times， preoperative CRP≤5 mg/L were influencing factors for PEP （all P0.05）， and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative pancreatic duct stenting， needle knife precut， and intraoperative biopsy were independent influencing factors for the onset of PEP （all P0.05）. ConclusionPancreatic duct stenting during ERCP can effectively reduce the risk of PEP in patients with difficult intubation， while needle knife precut and intraoperative biopsy can increase the risk of PEP in patients with difficult intubation.

Objective To observe the effects of amyloid-β(Aβ)receptor PirB on mouse astrocyte proliferation and reactive astrogliosis in vitro.Methods Mouse primary astrocytes were cultured,and divided into control group,Aβ group,Aβ+0.2 μmol/L PEP group,Aβ+0.4 μmol/L PEP group,Aβ+Fluspirilene group,Aβ+GFP-LV group,and Aβ+mPirB-LV group.The mouse astrocytes were treated with soluble PirB extracellular peptide PEP or PirB inhibitor Fluspirilene,respectively,to inhibit endogenous PirB receptor,or overexpressed PirB gene via lentivirus transfection and then treated with Aβ1-42 oligomers.The proliferation of astrocytes was observed by RTCA and EdU methods,and the mRNA expression levels of S-100 calcium-binding protein B(S-100β),Vimentin,Nestin and amyloid precursor protein(APP)associated with reactive astrogliosis of astrocytes were observed by real-time PCR,and the expression level of glial fibrillary acid protein(GFAP)was detected by Western-blotting.Results The results of RTCA monitoring showed that normalized cell index(NCI)values of each group decreased sharply after treatment,and then increased gradually and tended to be stable.The results of EdU staining showed that the proliferative activity of astrocytes was significantly enhanced in the Aβ group(P<0.05)compared with control group;Compared with Aβ group,cell proliferation activity in Aβ + 0.2 μmol/L PEP group,Aβ+0.4 μmol/L PEP group and Aβ+Fluspirilene group were significantly decreased(P<0.01 or P<0.001).The results of real-time PCR showed that compared with control group,mRNA expressions of GFAP,S-100β,Vimentin,Nestin,APP and PirB in Aβ group were significantly increased(P<0.05);Compared with Aβ group,mRNA expressions of GFAP,S-100β,Vimentin,Nestin,APP and PirB in Aβ+0.4 μmol/L PEP group were significantly decreased(P<0.01);Compared with Aβ+GFP-LV group,mRNA expressions of GFAP,S-100β,Vimentin,Nestin,APP and PirB in Aβ +mPirB-LV group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The results of Western blotting showed that compared with control group,the expression of GFAP in Aβ group was significantly increased(P<0.05);Compared with Aβ group,the expression of GFAP in Aβ+0.4 μmol/L PEP group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions PirB is an upstream molecule which could regulate astrocyte proliferation and reactive astrogliosis,and inhibiting PirB receptor in astrocytes may be a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

The Flash radiotherapy(Flash-RT),which is the key breakthrough in the basic field of radiotherapy technique,which is expected to cause a new major transformation in the field of radiotherapy.In this paper,we reviewed the latest research advances of the application and the mechanism exploration of Flash-RT in tumor treatment.Current studies have found that both the Flash-RT with electron beams and photon and the Flash-RT with proton can reduce injury of normal tissue than radiotherapy with conventional dose-rate,but the relevant mechanisms are not yet clearly understood,which includes but not limited to oxygen depletion,DNA damage,cellular senescence,apoptosis and immune response.The difference of Flash-RT injury between tumor tissue and normal tissue further reduces the limitations of radiotherapy,and reduces the adverse reaction and complication compared with conventional radiotherapy,which has wide application prospects.

Objective To investigate the effects of leptin on hypothalamic neuron activity and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue of obese mice.Methods 10 leptin-deficient obese(ob/ob)mice with homozygous mutation of leptin gene and 10 wild-type(WT)mice born in the same litter were randomly divided into control group and leptin treatment group.The activity of pro-opiomelanocortin(POMC)neurons and tyrosine hydroxylase(TH+)neurons,the morphological changes of adipose tissue and the expression of lipid-related genes were analyzed by immunofluorescent staining,HE staining and Real-time PCR.Results Compared with the WT mice,the ob/ob mice showed decreased activity of POMC neurons and TH+neurons and larger cell diameter in adipose tissue and liver tissue.In addition,the expressions of heat-related genes uncoupling protein 1(UCP1),cytochrome c oxidase subunit 8B(Cox8b)and cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor,alpha subunit-like effector A(Cidea)in subcutaneous white fat in ob/ob mice decreased significantly,and the expressions of lipid synthesis-related genes sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1(Srebp1)and fatty acid synthase(Fas)increased significantly.After treated with leptin,the activities of POMC and TH+neurons were increased,and the cellular diameter and the degree of vacuolar degeneration were reduced in the adipose tissue and liver.Further analyses showed that the expressions of thermogenesis-related genes and lipolysis-related genes were increased,but expressions of lipid synthesis-related genes were reduced in brown adipose tissue.Conclusion Leptin treatment could prevent the increasing of obesity in ob/ob mice,which is associated with increased lipolysis and reduced lipid synthesis through activation of hypothalamic POMC neurons and peripheral adipose tissue sympathetic nervous system.

Objective To construct a precise model for identifying traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitutions,thereby offering optimized guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment plan-ning,and ultimately enhancing medical efficiency and treatment outcomes. Methods First,TCM full-body inspection data acquisition equipment was employed to col-lect full-body standing images of healthy people,from which the constitutions were labelled and defined in accordance with the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire(CCMQ),and a dataset encompassing labelled constitutions was constructed.Second,heat-suppres-sion valve(HSV)color space and improved local binary patterns(LBP)algorithm were lever-aged for the extraction of features such as facial complexion and body shape.In addition,a dual-branch deep network was employed to collect deep features from the full-body standing images.Last,the random forest(RF)algorithm was utilized to learn the extracted multifea-tures,which were subsequently employed to establish a TCM constitution identification mod-el.Accuracy,precision,and F1 score were the three measures selected to assess the perfor-mance of the model. Results It was found that the accuracy,precision,and F1 score of the proposed model based on multifeatures for identifying TCM constitutions were 0.842,0.868,and 0.790,respectively.In comparison with the identification models that encompass a single feature,either a single facial complexion feature,a body shape feature,or deep features,the accuracy of the model that incorporating all the aforementioned features was elevated by 0.105,0.105,and 0.079,the precision increased by 0.164,0.164,and 0.211,and the F1 score rose by 0.071,0.071,and 0.084,respectively. Conclusion The research findings affirmed the viability of the proposed model,which incor-porated multifeatures,including the facial complexion feature,the body shape feature,and the deep feature.In addition,by employing the proposed model,the objectification and intel-ligence of identifying constitutions in TCM practices could be optimized.

The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is related to a variety of factors such as mechanical overload, metabolic dysfunction, aging, etc., and is a group of total joint diseases characterized by intra-articular chondrocyte apoptosis, cartilage fibrillations, synovial inflammation, and osteophyte formation. At present, the treatment methods for osteoarthritis include glucosamine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate, etc., which are difficult to take effect in a short period of time and require long-term treatment, so the patients struggle to adhere to doctor’s advice. Some methods can only provide temporary relief without chondrocyte protection, and some even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal disease. In the advanced stages of OA, patients often have to undergo joint replacement surgery due to pain and joint dysfunction. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the development of OA. It is possible to improve mitochondrial biogenesis, quality control, autophagy balance, and oxidative stress levels, thereby exerting a protective effect on chondrocytes in OA. Therefore, compared to traditional treatments, improving mitochondrial function may be a potential treatment for OA. Here, we collected relevant literature on mitochondrial research in OA in recent years, summarized the potential pathogenic factors that affect the development of OA through mitochondrial pathways, and elaborated on relevant treatment methods, in order to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic ideas for the research field of osteoarthritis.

Objective To observe the effect of sacubitril valsartan combined with dapagliflozin on cardiac function and blood glucose fluctuation in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods The elderly patients with CHF and T2DM were divided into treatment group and control group.Patients in the control group were given irbesartan tablets,150 mg each time,metoprolol sustained-release tablets,qd,with an initial dose of 23.75 mg,and the dose was increased to 47.5 mg after 2 weeks,and dapagliflozin tablets was taken in the morning,qd,5 mg each time.If the patient was well tolerated,the dose was increased to 10 mg each time.The treatment group was given dapagliflozin tablets,qd,5 mg each time,and the dose was increased to 10 mg each time if the patient was well tolerated.At the same time,sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets was given,bid,50 mg each time.If the patient was well tolerated,the dose should be doubled every 2-4 weeks,not exceeding 200 mg each time.The two groups were treated for 6 months.The cardiac function,blood glucose fluctuation,drug safety and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results Forty-seven cases and forty-nine cases were included in the treatment and control group,respectively.After treatment,the total effective rates in the treatment and control group were 93.62％(44 cases/47 cases)and 79.59％(39 cases/49 cases),and there were significant differences(P＜0.05).After treatment,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)in the treatment group group and the control group were(55.34±8.22)and(46.59±6.80)％;cardiac indexes(CI)were(2.54±0.41)and(2.37±0.39)L·min-1·m-2;postprandial glucose excursions(PGE)were(1.45±0.31)and(1.86±0.46)mmol·L-1;the largest amplitudes of glycemic excursions(LAGE)were(3.42±1.05)and(4.47±1.39)mmol·L-1;the incidence rates of major cardiovascular adverse events(MACE)were 4.26％(2 cases/47 cases)and 2.13％(1 cases/47 cases);readmission rates were 18.37％(9 cases/49 cases)and 14.29％(7 cases/49 cases).There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between the treatment group and the control group.(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions in the treatment group were urinary tract infection and hypotension,and the adverse drug reactions in the control group were urinary tract infection and angioedema,and the total adverse drug reaction rate of the two groups was 6.38％(3 cases/47 cases)and 4.08％(2 cases/49 cases),and there was no statistical significance(P＞0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment of sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets and dapagliflozin tablets can improve cardiac function,reduce blood glucose fluctuation,increase the total effective rate,and improve the prognosis of elderly patients with CHF and T2DM,with good drug safety.

Aortic valve stenosis,as a common heart valve disease,progresses rapidly and has a poor clinical prognosis.In the case of combined acute heart failure,the pumping function of the heart is severely impaired,which may lead to a significant decrease in cardiac output,resulting in a state of shock.Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)has become a first-line treatment for elderly patients with aortic valve stenosis since its first successful case in 2002.In China,with the advancement of technology and the strengthening of physician training,the capacity of grassroots hospitals in TAVR treatment is increasing.This case reports a patient with severe aortic valve stenosis accompanied by acute heart failure and shock status who received emergency TAVR treatment at a grassroots hospital.Due to limitations in conditions,TAVR was urgently implemented without extracorporeal circulation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.The patient's blood pressure immediately rose to 105/65 mmHg after valve dilation during surgery,and the postoperative symptoms were significantly relieved.Follow up color Doppler ultrasound showed that the stenosis was relieved and the heart function was significantly improved.The success of this surgery provides a reference for emergency TAVR treatment in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and heart failure in grassroots hospitals.

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of implantable D-shant atrial shunt device in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)and right heart failure.A 53-year-old female patient diagnosed with severe idiopathic PAH and right heart failure,her WHO FC grade was Ⅳ.The right heart catheter and implantation of D-shant atrial shunt device were performed under local anesthesia on November 30,2021.A 6 mm×4 cm peripheral artery balloon was selected to dilate the atrial septum and a D-shant atrial shunt device with a fixed 4 mm diameter orifice was implanted into the heart.The clinical symptoms and hemodynamics of the patient was improved after the intervention.Implantation of atrial shunt device as a palliative therapy to established a right to left shunt is another strategy for treating patients with severe PAH in late period,which has good effectiveness and safety.It could be the last replacement therapy to improve symptoms and prolonged lives to drug resistant and severe PAH patients.
