Objective An isotemporal substitution model was used to explore the associations between activities including 10 minutes per day of physical activity(PA),sedentary behavior(SB),and sleep(SLP),and depressive symptoms among vocational school students with and without depressive symptoms.Methods Questionnaire survey was conducted on grade one to grade three students attending vocational schools in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province from Dec 2021 to Jan 2022.Fourteen schools were selected using the convenience cluster sampling method.The selected students were categorized into depressive symptoms group and non-depressive symptoms group according to the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D)scores.Results A total of 40 339 questionnaires were collected,of which 10 086 were able to clearly remember the time of physical activity in the past week,and 8 149 were valid after data cleaning.According to the valid questionnaires,5 496 students(67.44%)were in the non-depressive symptoms group and 2 653(32.56%)were in the depressive symptoms group.The mean age of the students were(16.70±1.19)years.In the non-depressive symptoms group,substituting moderate physical activity(MPA)for all the other behaviors was negatively associated with CES-D scores,while substituting vigorous physical activity(VPA)for MPA and SB was positively associated with CES-D scores.In the depressive symptoms group,substituting walking,SB,and SLP with MPA was negatively associated with CES-D scores,respectively.The associations of MPA substituted for walking,SB,and SLP with CES-D scores were much stronger in the depressive symptoms group than in the non-depressive symptoms group.Conclusion The detection rate of depressive symptoms was high among vocational students.Substituting MPA for walking,SB,and SLP were negatively associated with CES-D scores,with a stronger association observed in the depressive symptoms group than in the non-depressive symptoms group.

Objective To compare the effects of 20 mg qd and 10 mg bidadministration of iprrazole enteric-coated tablets on the control of gastric acid in healthy subjects.Methods A randomized,single-center,parallel controlled trial was designed to include 8 healthy subjects.Randomly divided into 2 groups,20 mg qd administration group:20 mg enteric-coated tablets of iprrazole in the morning;10 mg bid administration group:10 mg enteric-coated tablets of iprrazole in the morning and 10 mg in the evening.The pH values in the stomach of the subjects before and 24 h after administration were monitored by pH meter.The plasma concentration of iprazole after administration was determined by HPLC-MS/MS.The main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin(V8.0)software.Results The PK parameters of iprrazole enteric-coated tablets and reference preparations in fasting group were as follows:The Cmax of 20 mg qd group and 10 mg bid group were(595.75±131.15)and(283.50±96.98)ng·mL-1;AUC0-t were(5 531.94±784.35)and(4 686.67±898.23)h·ng·mL-1;AUC0-∞ were(6 003.19±538.59)and(7 361.48±1 816.77)h·ng·mL-1,respectively.The mean time percentage of gastric pH＞3 after 20 mg qd and 10 mg bid were 82.64％and 61.92％,and the median gastric pH within 24 h were 6.25±1.49 and 3.53±2.05,respectively.The mean gastric pH values within 24 h were 5.71±1.36 and 4.23±1.45,respectively.The correlation analysis of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics showed that there was no significant correlation between the peak concentration of drug in plasma and the inhibitory effect of acid.Conclusion Compared with the 20 mg qd group and the 10 mg bid group,the acid inhibition effect is better,the administration times are less,and the safety of the two administration regimes is good.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of recombinant human anti-severe acute respiratory syn-drome coronavirus 2(anti-SARS-CoV-2)monoclonal antibody injection(F61 injection)in the treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)combined with renal damage.Methods Patients with COVID-19 and renal damage who visited the PLA General Hospital from January to February 2023 were selected.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups.Control group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy,while trial group was treated with conventional anti-COVID-19 therapy combined with F61 injection.A 15-day follow-up was conducted after drug administration.Clinical symptoms,laboratory tests,electrocardiogram,and chest CT of pa-tients were performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of F61 injection.Results Twelve subjects(7 in trial group and 5 in control group)were included in study.Neither group had any clinical progression or death cases.The ave-rage time for negative conversion of nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 in control group and trial group were 3.2 days and 1.57 days(P=0.046),respectively.The scores of COVID-19 related target symptom in the trial group on the 3rd and 5th day after medication were both lower than those of the control group(both P＜0.05).According to the clinical staging and World Health Organization 10-point graded disease progression scale,both groups of subjects improved but didn't show statistical differences(P＞0.05).For safety,trial group didn't present any infusion-re-lated adverse event.Subjects in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of elevated blood glucose,elevated urine glucose,elevated urobilinogen,positive urine casts,and cardiac arrhythmia,but the differences were not statistica-lly significant(all P＞0.05).Conclusion F61 injection has initially demonstrated safety and clinical benefit in trea-ting patients with COVID-19 combined with renal damage.As the domestically produced drug,it has good clinical accessibility and may provide more options for clinical practice.

Objective To explore whether dexmedetomidine(DEX)can alleviate exertional heatstroke(EHS)-induced rhabdomyolysis(RM)in rats by activating adrenergic α2 receptors,and to explore its potential mechanism based on the reactive oxygen species(ROS)/NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)/interleukin-1β(IL-1β)pathway.Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats,after a 7-day acclimatization training,were randomly divided into six groups:control group(CN group),EHS group,low-dose DEX group(EHS+low DEX group),high-dose DEX group(EHS+high DEX group),DEX combined with yohimbine(YOH)group(EHS+high DEX+YOH group),and YOH group(EHS+YOH),with six rats in each group.Before modeling,EHS+high DEX+YOH group and EHS+YOH group were intraperitoneally injected with YOH at 1 mg/kg,while the other four groups were injected intraperitoneally with an equal dose of physiological saline(0.9%NS).During modeling,except for CN group,the other 5 groups of rats were subjected to heat exercise in a high-temperature and high-humidity chamber to construct an EHS rat model.After successful modeling,EHS+low DEX group was intraperitoneally injected with DEX at 10 μg/kg,EHS+high DEX group and EHS+high DEX+YOH group were intraperitoneally injected with DEX at 30 μg/kg,and CN group,EHS group and DEX+YOH group were intraperitoneally injected with equal doses of saline.After 6 h of observation,all rats were anesthetized,and their blood from the abdominal aorta and gastrocnemius muscle tissue were taken.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the expression levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-1β and myoglobin(MB)in rats;biochemical assay kit was used to measure the level of creatine kinase(CK)in rat serum;HE staining was used to observe pathological changes in rat gastrocnemius muscle tissues;transmission electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes in gastrocnemius muscle;2′,7′-dichlorofluorescent yellow diacetate(DCFH-DA)fluorescent probe was used to detect the level of reactive oxygen species(ROS);and Western blotting was performed to detect the expression levels of NOD-like receptors 3(NLRP3),aspartic protease-1(caspase-1)and adrenergic α2A receptor(ADRA2A).Results Compared with CN group,the levels of serum IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,CK and MB in EHS group rats were significantly elevated(P<0.01).HE staining results revealed that the gastrocnemius muscle tissues of rats in EHS group had these pathological manifestations such as disarray of muscle fibrous structure,hemorrhage,edema,and infiltration of inflammatory cells.Transmission electron microscopy results showed that the ultrastructure of the gastrocnemius muscle in EHS group exhibited myofibroblasts with swelling and enlarging in size,cytoplasmic vacuolization,and mitochondria with obvious swelling,degranulation,and disappearance of double cristae.Compared with CN group,the expression levels of ROS,NLRP3,and caspase-1 in gastrocnemius of rats in EHS group significantly increased(P<0.01);Compared with EHS group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,CK,MB and the expression levels of ROS,NLRP3,caspase-1 in gastrocnemius tissue of rats in EHS+low DEX group and EHS+high DEX group decreased in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05),and the pathological damage observed with HE staining and transmission electron microscopy was alleviated by DEX.After YOH pretreatment,compared with the EHS+high DEX group,the serum levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,CK,MB and ROS,NLRP3 and caspase-1 in the gastrocnemius muscle tissue of rats in EHS+high DEX+YOH group relatively increased(P<0.05),and the pathological damage observed with HE staining and transmission electron microscopy was exacerbated.The expression of ADRA2A in gastrocnemius muscle of EHS group significantly decreased compared with CN group(P<0.01),and the expression of ADRA2A in muscle of rats in DES+low DEX group and EHS+high DEX group was higher than that in EHS group(P<0.05).Conclusions DEX can alleviate EHS-induced RM by activating ADRA2A,potentially through inhibiting the ROS-dependent NLRP3/IL-1β inflammatory pathway.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF)in the treatment of cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type(CSA).Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with CSA from January 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 25 males and 17 females,aged from 30 to 74 years old with an average of(53.9±11.0)years old.There were 18 cases with single-segment lesions,17 cases with two-segment lesions,and 7 cases with three-segment lesions.The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery's Hearing and Balance Committee score(CHE),the Neck Disability Index(NDI)and the cervical curvature Cobb angle were recorded before surgery and after surgery at 6 months.Results All 42 ACDF patients were followed up for 6 to 30 months with an average of(14.0±5.2)months.The operative time ranged from 95 to 220 min with an average of(160.38±36.77)min,the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 30 to 85 ml with an average of(53.60±18.98)ml.Tow patients had mild postoperative dysphagia,which improved with symptomatic treatment such as nebulized inhalation.CHE score decreased from(4.05±0.96)preoperatively to(2.40±0.70)at 6 months postoperatively(t=12.97,P＜0.05).The number of improved vertigo at 6 months postoperatively was 38,with an im-provement rate of 90.5％.NDI score was reduced from(34.43±8.04)preoperatively to(20.76±3.91)at 6 months postopera-tively(t=1 1.83,P＜0.05).The cervical curvature Cobb angle improved from(8.04±6.70)° preoperatively to(12.42±5.23)° at 6 months postoperatively(t=-15.96,P＜0.05).Conclusion The ACDF procedure has outstanding clinical efficacy in treating CSA.The operation can rapidly relieve patients'episodic vertigo symptoms by relieving bony compression and reconstructing cervical curvature.However,it is necessary to strictly grasp the indications for surgery and clarify the causes of vertigo in pa-tients,and ACDF surgery is recommended for CSA patients for whom conservative treatment is ineffective.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of integrating the geriatric intensive care unit (GICU) into the friendly management model of the elderly critically ill patients.Methods:A prospective controlled study was conducted. Patients with elderly critically ill admitted to the GICU and the general intensive care unit (ICU) of Jintan First People's Hospital of Changzhou from December 2021 to May 2023 were enrolled. Patients in the ICU group received the traditional intensive care and nursing mode. In addition to the ICU group basic medical care measures, the patients in the GICU group were treated with friendly management models such as flexible visitation, diagnosis and treatment environment optimization, caring diagnosis and treatment, and family participation in hospice care according to their condition assessment. The gender, age, main diagnosis, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) at admission were recorded and compared between the two groups. During the treatment period, the incidence of nosocomial infection, unplanned extubation, falling out of bed/fall, unexpected readmission to ICU/GICU, and ICU/GICU mortality, the incidence of post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), the satisfaction rate of patients/families with medical care, and the satisfaction rate of patients/families with diagnosis and treatment environment were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:According to the admission criteria for ICU and GICU, as well as the willingness of the patients and/or their families, a total of 59 patients were finally included in the ICU group, and 48 patients were enrolled in the GICU group. There were no significantly differences in gender, age, main diagnosis and APACHEⅡ score between the two groups, and there were comparability. There were no significantly differences in the incidence of adverse events such as nosocomial infection [13.6% (8/59) vs. 12.5% (6/48)], unplanned extubation [5.1% (3/59) vs. 6.2% (3/48)], falling out of bed/fall [3.4% (2/59) vs. 0% (0/48)], unexpected readmission to ICU/GICU [8.5% (5/59) vs. 10.4% (5/48)], and ICU/GICU mortality [6.8% (4/59) vs. 6.2 (3/48)] between the ICU group and GICU group (all P > 0.05). Compared with the ICU group, the incidence of PICS in GICU group was significantly lower [8.3% (4/48) vs. 25.4% (15/59), P < 0.05], the satisfaction rate of patients/families with medical care [89.6% (43/48) vs. 74.6% (44/59)] and satisfaction rate of patients/families with diagnosis and treatment environment [87.5% (42/48) vs. 67.8% (40/59)] were significantly increased (both P < 0.05). Conclusion:The use GICU as a friendly management model for elderly critically ill patients is feasible and safe, and it is worthy of further exploration and research.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

This study compared the chemical profiles, component content, dry paste yield, and pharmacological effects of samples obtained from the mixed single decoctions and the combined decoction of Gegen Qinlian Decoction(GQD), aiming to provide an experimental foundation for evaluating the equivalence of the two decocting methods and the suitability of TCM formula granules in clinical application. The same decoction process was used to prepare the combined decoction and mixed single decoctions of GQD. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) was employed to compare the chemical profiles between the two groups. High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was used to compare the content of nine characteristic components between the two groups. Then, a delayed diarrhea mouse model induced by irinotecan was established to compare the pharmacological effects of the two groups on chemotherapy-induced diarrhea. The UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS in ESI~+ and ESI~- modes identified 59 chemical components in the compound decoction and mixed single decoctions, which showed no obvious differences in component species. The content of baicalin and wogonoside was higher in the compound decoction, while that of puerarin, daidzein-8-C-apiosylglucoside, berberine, epiberberine, wogonin, glycyrrhizic acid, and daidzein was higher in the mixed single decoctions. Further statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in the content of the nine characteristic components between the compound decoction and the mixed single decoctions. The dry paste yield had no significant difference between the two groups. Compared with the model group, both compound decoction and mixed single decoctions alleviated the weight loss and reduced diarrhea index in mice. Both of them lowered the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2), intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), interleukin-10(IL-10), malondialdehyde(MDA), and nitric oxide(NO) in the colon tissue. Furthermore, they significantly increased the levels of glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase(SOD). Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining showed that colon tissue cells were tightly arranged with clear nuclei in both groups without obvious difference. The compound decoction and mixed single decoctions showed no significant differences in chemical component species, content of nine characteristic components, dry paste yield, or the pharmacological effects on alleviating chemotherapy-induced diarrhea. The findings provide a reference for evaluating the flexibility and superiority of combined or single decocting method in the preparation of TCM decoctions or formula granules.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of blood pressure and analyze the associated factors of blood pressure of the elderly with type 2 diabetes in Jiangsu Province. Methods: The elderly over 60 years old participants with type 2 diabetes in the communities of Huai'an City and Changshu City, Jiangsu Province were selected in this study. They were divided into two groups: taking antihypertensive drugs and not taking antihypertensive drugs. The demographic characteristics, such as age and sex, and relevant factors were collected by questionnaire. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured by physical examination. The percentile of SBP and DBP in each age group of men and women were described. The kernel density estimation curve was used to show the blood pressure distribution. The trend of blood pressure with age was fitted by locally weighted regression. The logistic regression model was used to analyze relevant factors of blood pressure. Results: A total of 12 949 participants were included in this study, including 7 775 patients in the antihypertensive drug group and 5 174 patients in the group without antihypertensive drugs. The SBP of participants was concentrated at 140-160 mmHg, and their DBP was concentrated at 75-85 mmHg. There were significant differences in the distribution of blood pressure among the subgroups of body mass index (BMI) and rural areas whether taking antihypertensive drugs and not. For participants aged under 80 years old, the SBP showed an increasing trend with age and the DBP showed a decreasing trend with age. Age, BMI ≥24 kg/m², fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, living in rural areas and no smoking were influencing factors of the elevated SBP; BMI ≥24 kg/m², male, living in rural areas, no smoking, drinking alcohol and not receiving drug hypoglycemic treatment were influencing factors of the elevated DBP. Conclusion: The SBP of older diabetic adults in Jiangsu Province is at a high level, and the distribution of blood pressure is significantly different between men and women in taking antihypertensive drugs group. The SBP presents a rising trend and the DBP is decreasing at the age of 60-80 years. The blood pressure level of this population are mainly affected by age, BMI, urban and rural areas, smoking.
