Objective To investigate the health education needs and available resources in schistosomiasis-endemic areas based on integration of community resources, and to explore the operation pathways for health education and promotion during the stage of schistosomiasis elimination. Methods A community was selected from Nanji Township, Xinjian District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province around the Poyang Lake areas as the study site, and a questionnaire survey on health education needs for schistosomiasis control was conducted among permanent residents at ages of 20 years in the community during the period between June and July, 2022 using face-to-face interviews. In addition, the resources available for the community-based schistosomiasis control health education were investigated among workers in township-level specialized institutions, members of civil society organizations, villagers, teachers and high and primary school students through field observations, field surveys and thematic interviews. Results A total of 304 individuals participated in the questionnaire survey on community-based health education needs for schistosomiasis control, and 94.41% (287/304) and 93.42% (284/304) of the respondents were most interested in knowing/understanding knowledge of the morphology of schistosomes and knowledge associated with the transmission route of schistosomiasis. The four most popular patterns for disseminating schistosomiasis control knowledge included live broadcasting of schistosomiasis control videos (94.41%, 287/304), printed brochures (89.80%, 273/304), special lectures by doctors (62.50%, 190/304) and physical health education materials for schistosomiasis control (61.51%, 187/304). There were 96.71% (294/304) and 77.63% (236/304) of respondents that accepted the participation of township healthcare center and township government/village committees in dissemination of schistosomiasis control knowledge, and there were 95.72% (291/304) and 80.59% (245/304) of respondents that mainly acquired schistosomiasis control knowledge through village allocation of leaflets and volunteer schistosomiasis control activities, respectively. There was 96.71% (294/304) of respondents participating in the dissemination activities of schistosomiasis control knowledge held by village committees, township healthcare centers, and high and primary schools/kinder-gartens, and 61.25% (177/289) of respondents were willing to participate in volunteer schistosomiasis control activities. A total of 115 individuals participated in the survey of available resources for community-based schistosomiasis control health education, and there were a large number of organizational, human and cultural resources in the community that were useful for health communication services. Conclusions The abundant human and material resources from rural communities in schistosomiasis-endemic areas may be integrated into schistosomiasis control health education to generate a rural health education pathway with the joint participation of schistosomiasis control institutions, township governments, community departments and community residents, which may provide insights into the future development of schistosomiasis control health education.

In the past decades, significant progress has been achived in cartilage regeneration. The traditional techniques for constructing tissue engineering cartilage scaffold mainly include pore agent method (or template method), phase separation method, gas foaming method, freeze-drying method, electrospinning method, etc. Cartilage is heterogeneous, and it is difficult for traditional scaffolds to simulate the high anisotropy of cartilage. Therefore, functional regeneration of cartilage is challenging. With the progress of three-dimensional(3D) printing technology, it is possible to prepare functional bionic scaffolds with fine structure and gradient changes through co-deposition of biomaterials, cells and active biomolecules, so as to achieve functional cartilage regeneration. This article reviewed 3D printing technology of cartilage tissue engineering, and the application of 3D printing technology in cartilage regeneration at different anatomical positions (articular cartilage, auricle cartilage, nasal cartilage). In addition, the importance of preparing bionic constructs with regional structure gradient and regional composition gradient was discussed. 3D bioprinting technology, 4D printing techniques, smart biomaterials brought hope for the construction of bionic tissues and organs.

5.Advance in the histopathological research of internal limiting membrane
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2023;41(1):84-87
The internal limiting membrane located at vitreoretinal interface is formed by the contiguous basement membranes of Müller cells.Nowadays, vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane peeling has been widely used in many operations involving macular area.Although its clinical efficacy and safety have been demonstrated, it lacks the necessary histological support.At the same time, many studies have shown that the internal limiting membrane plays different roles in the occurrence of different diseases.Current studies have found that the proliferation of inflammatory cells, glial cells and vitreous cells leads to the physiological dysfunction of the vitreoretinal interface, and the internal limiting membrane can also become a scaffold for the proliferation of myofibroblasts, which will lead to the occurrence of macular diseases.This article reviewed the histological research of internal limiting membrane in terms of diabetic retinopathy, idiopathic macular hole and idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane, hoping to better understand the internal limiting membrane under pathological conditions and to confirm the safety and necessity of internal limiting membrane peeling from ultrastructure.

Objective:To learn about the awareness, education status and willingness of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) among elementary school students in Guizhou Province, and to provide a scientific basis for exploring intervention strategies for health education of iodine deficiency in the future.Methods:From June 2021 to May 2022, each IDD monitoring county was selected from the east, south, west, north and middle directions of Guizhou Province, and one elementary school was selected from each county. All students in two classes of Grade 5 and Grade 6 were selected in whole groups to conduct on-site questionnaire surveys in the form of anonymous examinations. The survey mainly included general demographic information and IDD awareness, education status and willingness, and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relevant influencing factors.Results:A total of 1 259 elementary school students in Guizhou Province were investigated, the rates of awareness of IDD, acceptance of IDD publicity and education, and willingness to accept IDD publicity and education among elementary school students were 37.7% (1 900/5 036), 25.1% (316/1 259) and 69.6% (876/1 259), respectively. By binary logistic regression analysis, gender, residence, grade and father's education level were the influencing factors of pupils' awareness of iodine deficiency ( P < 0.05); residence, age and father's education level were the influential factors of elementary school students receiving iodine deficiency education ( P < 0.05); gender, residence, ethnicity and whether the child was the only child or not were the influential factors of elementary school students' willingness to accept IDD education ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The elementary school students in Guizhou Province have insufficient knowledge about IDD. The publicity and education for iodine deficiency prevention is limited, and the students' willingness to learn is not high. The publicity, education and intervention for iodine deficiency prevention among elementary school students should be comprehensively strengthened.

To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Qingwen Baiduyin on acute lung injury (ALI) in mice induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). MethodA total of 144 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the following groups: a normal group, a model group (LPS, 5 mg·kg-1), a dexamethasone group (5 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose Qingwen Baiduyin groups (14.105, 28.21, 56.42 g·kg-1). The mice were treated once daily for 5 days. One hour after the final administration, the ALI model was established by intratracheal instillation of LPS, and samples were collected at 6 h and 24 h after modeling. The arterial blood gas index of mice was analyzed. The total protein content, total cell count, Evans blue dye (EBD) content, and lung tissue wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to assess the pathological changes in mouse lung tissue. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of key proteins in the Janus kinase 1/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1/interferon regulatory factor 1 (JAK1/STAT1/IRF1) signaling pathway in lung tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed reduced arterial oxygen pressure (pO2), oxygen saturation (SO2), and lung tissue W/D (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased carbon dioxide pressure (pCO2), total protein content, total cell count, EBD content, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), chemokine CXC ligand 1 (CXCL1), chemokine CXC ligand 2 (CXCL2), chemokine CXC ligand 9 (CXCL9), and chemokine CXC ligand 10 (CXCL10) content (P<0.05, P<0.01), thickening of the alveolar walls, fusion of alveolar cavities, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissue, increased proportion of M1 macrophage polarization and lung cell apoptosis (P<0.05), and increased protein expression levels of JAK1, phosphorylated JAK1 (p-JAK1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), STAT1, phosphorylated STAT1 (p-STAT1), IRF1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Qingwen Baiduyin significantly increased pO2, SO2, and lung tissue W/D (P<0.05, P<0.01), improved the pathological changes in lung tissue, and reduced pCO2, total protein content, total cell count, EBD content, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL9, and CXCL10 content, proportion of M1 macrophage polarization, and protein expression levels of JAK1, p-JAK1, iNOS, STAT1, p-STAT1, IRF1, GSDMD, and MLKL (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionQingwen Baiduyin can improve the lung inflammatory response and reduce lung cell apoptosis in mice with ALI by inhibiting the JAK1/STAT1/IRF1 signaling pathway, thereby exerting a lung-protective effect.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Zuojinwan (ZJW) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) through network pharmacology and experimental validation. MethodUsing network pharmacology and molecular docking, the active components and potential mechanism of ZJW in treating UC were preliminarily identified. Forty-eight male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a sulfasalazine group (300 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose ZJW groups (1.82, 3.64, 7.28 g·kg-1). The UC model was induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), and oral administration of drugs began on the third day of modeling, lasting for 7 days. The general condition of mice was observed daily, and the disease activity index (DAI) was evaluated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe histopathological changes in colon tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 in mouse serum. The molecular mechanism was validated using Western blot. ResultNetwork pharmacology predicted that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway might be a key pathway in the regulation of UC by ZJW. Molecular docking results showed good binding ability between the key components of ZJW and core targets. Animal experiment results showed that compared with the normal group, the model group had shortened colon length (P<0.01), increased DAI scores, spleen index, colon tissue pathology scores, and levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum (P<0.05, P<0.01), increased PI3K, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax) expression in colon tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01), and decreased serum IL-10 levels and colon tissue Bcl-2 protein expression (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the ZJW groups showed significant improvement in UC symptoms, relieved colon tissue pathological damage, downregulated levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in serum (P<0.01), inhibited expression of PI3K, p-Akt, and Bax proteins in colon tissue (P<0.05, P<0.01), and increased serum IL-10 levels and colon tissue Bcl-2 protein expression (P<0.01), with the high-dose group showing the best effect. ConclusionZJW effectively alleviates DSS-induced UC, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and regulation of apoptosis-related protein expression.

Lipid homeostasis is considered to be related to intestinal metabolic balance, while its role in the pathogenesis and treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to identify the target lipids related to the occurrence, development and treatment of UC by comparing the lipidomics of UC patients, mice and colonic organoids with the corresponding healthy controls. Here, multi-dimensional lipidomics based on LC-QTOF/MS, LC-MS/MS and iMScope systems were constructed and used to decipher the alteration of lipidomic profiles. The results indicated that UC patients and mice were often accompanied by dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, in which triglycerides and phosphatidylcholines were significantly reduced. Notably, phosphatidylcholine 34:1 (PC34:1) was characterized by high abundance and closely correlation with UC disease. Our results also revealed that down-regulation of PC synthase PCYT1α and Pemt caused by UC modeling was the main factor leading to the reduction of PC34:1, and exogenous PC34:1 could greatly enhance the fumarate level via inhibiting the transformation of glutamate to N-acetylglutamate, thus exerting an anti-UC effect. Collectively, our study not only supplies common technologies and strategies for exploring lipid metabolism in mammals, but also provides opportunities for the discovery of therapeutic agents and biomarkers of UC.
