ObjectiveTo explore the impact of Gegen Qinliantang(GQT) on the fecal short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs) metabolism in antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD) through targeted metabolomics. MethodA total of 240 SD rats were randomly divided into six groups(n=40, half male and half female), including blank group, model group, bifidobiogen group(0.15 g·kg-1), and GQT high-, medium-, and low-dose groups(10.08, 5.04, 2.52 g·kg-1), except for the blank group, clindamycin(250 mg·kg-1) was given to all groups by gavage for modeling every day for 7 d. After successful modeling, each administered group was gavaged with the corresponding dose of the drug, and the blank and model groups were gavaged with an equal volume of normal saline solution, 1 time/d, for 14 d. At 0, 3, 7, 14 d after the drug intervention, eight rats were randomly selected from each group, respectively. Gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(GC-TOF-MS) was used to perform targeted metabolomic analysis of SCFAs in the feces of rats, and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) was applied to compare the differences in metabolic profiles between groups at different treatment times, and to compare the changes in the contents of SCFAs in rat feces between groups. ResultPLS-DA results showed that the blank group could be clearly distinguishable from the model group, with GQT exhibiting a closer proximity to the blank group after 7 d of treatment. After further analyzing the composition of SCFAs, it was found that the proportion of acetic acid increased and the proportions of butyric acid, valeric acid, hexanoic acid and isovaleric acid decreased in the model group compared with the blank group. After the treatment with GQT, the proportions of butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, and isovaleric acid increased, and the proportions of acetic acid, propionic acid and caproic acid decreased. Subsequent differential analysis revealed that GQT could significantly improve the content of butyric acid, and had a certain retrogressive effect on the contents of valeric acid and hexanoic acid. ConclusionThe medium dose group of GQT can improve the contents of SCFAs in AAD feces after 7 days of treatment, which may be related to the improvement of the composition ratio of SCFAs and the contents of butyric acid, valeric acid and caproic acid.

Objective:Analyze the mediating and moderating effects of the relationship between food intake and blood glucose levels.Methods:This study uses data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey project in the survey 2018, involving 11 043 adults aged 18 years or older, who have complete dietary data, waist circumference (WC), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) indicators, and other key variables. Food consumption data was gathered via three consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls and weighing accounting method, which included two weekdays and one weekend day. The average daily intake of various foods and total energy intake were calculated. The mediation effect and moderation effect analysis were conducted using simple mediation models, direct moderation effect models, and moderated mediation analysis theoretical models. The confidence interval method (bootstrap method) was performed for testing and analysis.Results:A total of 4 951 males and 6 092 females were included in the stratified analysis by gender. The mediating effects on the rice, wheat, and red meat→WC→HbA1c were all statistically significant in males. The standardized coefficients were -0.009 ( P<0.001), 0.013 ( P<0.001), and -0.005 ( P=0.008), respectively. In females, the mediating effect on the wheat→WC→HbA1c was statistically significant, and the standardized coefficient was 0.017 ( P<0.001); the impact of red meat intake on HbA1c is negatively regulated by the intake of dark vegetables, with a direct moderating effect; the standardized coefficient of the interaction term between red meat and dark vegetables was -0.024 ( P=0.008). Dark vegetables have a moderated mediator on the pathway from rice to WC and HbA1c ( a3b1=-0.003, P=0.041) in males. The mediating effect of WC is negatively regulated by the intake of dark vegetables (mediation effect difference U1/-1=-0.006, P=0.048). Dark vegetables showed a moderated mediator on the pathway from wheat to WC and HbA1c ( a3b1=-0.004, P=0.045) in females. The mediating effect of WC is negatively regulated by the intake of dark vegetables (mediation effect difference U1/-1=-0.009, P=0.049). Conclusions:Changes in WC indicators caused by rice, wheat, and red meat intake. WC could mediate between rice, wheat, red meat, and HbA1c. Dark vegetables directly or indirectly regulate HbA1c levels by interacting with rice, wheat, and red meat.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of occupational hand-arm vibration disease (OHAVD) in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2022. Methods The data of newly reported OHAVD cases and suspected occupational disease cases in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2022 was collected from the Report Card of Occupational Diseases and Report Card of Suspected Occupational Diseases using Occupational Diseases and Health Hazard Factors Monitoring Information System under China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Epidemiological characteristics of the newly reported OHAVD cases and related suspected occupational disease reports were analyzed. Results A total of 660 newly reported OHAVD cases were reported in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2022. The number of cases showed a periodic fluctuating trend over the years. Males accounted for 98.64% of the newly reported OHAVD cases with a median age of 38 years and a median hand-transmitted vibration exposure period of 8.7 years. These cases were predominantly distributed in the Pearl River Delta region, including Zhongshan City, Dongguan City, Guangzhou City, Shenzhen City and Foshan City, accounting for 99.25%. The manufacturing enterprises had 98.79% of the cases, investment enterprises of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan merchants of China had 83.18% of the cases, and large- and medium-sized enterprises had 92.73% of the cases. The 660 cases were distributed in 440 enterprises, but there were some characteristics of group outbreaks. There were 20 enterprises (4.55% of the total number of enterprises) had more than three cases involving 219 cases (33.18%). There were five enterprises which had more than 10 cases and the cases number ranged from 12 to 56. Among 382 newly reported OHAVD cases from 2014 to 2022, 44.24% were identified as suspected occupational diseases before diagnosis, of which 59.76% (101/169) were determined by occupational health inspection institutions. Conclusion Newly reported OHAVD cases in Guangdong Province were aggregated in terms of regional distribution, industry, enterprise ownership, and enterprise scale, with a risk of group outbreaks. It is suggested to enhance the OHAVD prevention and control in male workers exposed to hand-transmitted vibrations in the Pearl River Delta's manufacturing enterprises.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Gegen Qinliantang(GQT) on the intestinal flora of antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD) by 16S rRNA sequencing and network pharmacology. MethodSixty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups(n=10), including blank group, model group, GQT high-, medium- and low-dose groups(10.08, 5.04, 2.52 g·kg-1) as well as Lizhu Changle group(0.15 g·kg-1), except for the blank group, each group was given clindamycin(250 mg·kg-1) by gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days. After successful modeling, the blank group and the model group were given equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. The other groups were given corresponding doses of drugs by gavage for 14 days. Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP) was used to screen the active components and targets of GQT, GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM) database, Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base(PharmGKB), DrugBank and DisGeNET were used to search for AAD disease targets. The drug-disease common targets were obtained by R software. STRING was applied to analyze the target protein-protein interaction, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was performed. Then hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the colon, and 16S rRNA sequencing of AAD colon content flora structure further verified the results of network pharmacology. ResultThrough network pharmacology, it was found that 238 active components were screened from GQT and acted on 276 component targets, among which quercetin, puerarin, wogonin and apigenin were the main core components of GQT, 1 097 AAD disease targets and 127 drug-disease intersection targets. The protein-protein interaction network mainly included core targets such as protein kinase B1(Akt1), interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β, which were mainly enriched in the IL-17 signaling pathway. It was verified through animal experiments that compared with the blank group, the colon structure of the model group was seriously abnormal, the intestinal epithelial columnar cells were damaged, the goblet cells were reduced, and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated. Compared with the model group, the colon structure of the GQT high-dose group improved, but there were still abnormalities, the colon structure of GQT medium- and low- dose groups and Lizhu Changle group improved significantly and reached the normal level. GQT could improve the structural diversity of AAD intestinal flora. At the phylum level, the abundance of Firmicutes was increased and the abundance of Bacteroidetes was decreased. At the genus level, the abundance of Lactobacillus was increased, and the abundances of Prevotella and Bacteroides were decreased. Among them, Lactococcus could be used as a biomarker for AAD treatment with GQT, and the prediction of functional metabolism of intestinal flora revealed that GQT could promote acetate and lactate metabolic pathways in the intestine. ConclusionGQT may activate IL-17 signaling pathway by acting on the targets of Akt1 and IL-6 through key components such as quercetin and wogonin, and improve the abundance of Lactococcus in the intestinal tract as well as acetate and lactate metabolic pathways, so as to play a role in repairing the intestinal barrier for the treatment of AAD.

Objective:To explore the effect of case management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the nurse-led clinics.Methods:A total of 50 patients with COPD who met the selection criteria in the outpatient department of the respiratory department of Shantou Central Hospital were enrolled from March 2019 to March 2020. Case management was carried out by specialist nurses in the outpatient department. Body Mass Index (BMI), the forced expiratory volume in one second/predicted value ratio (FEV 1%pred), modified British medical research council (mMRC), 6-min walking distance (6MWD), COPD assessment test (CAT), and St.George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), basic activities of daily living (BADL) were compared before and after 6 months′ case management. The difference of medication compliance after case management was also analyzed. Results:There were statistically significant differences in the mMRC[(1.9±1.2) vs (1.4±1.1) points], 6MWD[(238.1±84.9) vs (284.1±113.8) m] and CAT scores [(19.7±6.6) vs (17.1±5.9) points], which suggested the improvement of dyspnea, self-conscious symptoms and exercise performance in these patients (all P<0.05). The BADL scores [(87.8±5.4) vs (90.00±7.5) points] and the total score of SGRQ [(48.0±7.3) vs (45.0±6.9) points] were significantly different (both P<0.01). These indicators were improved after the implementation of case management. Patients were followed up for 1 month, 3 months and 6 months, and the improvement of medication compliance score was statistically significant [(7.1±0.8) vs (7.4±0.8) vs (7.7±0.5) points] ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The implementation of respiratory nursing clinic can effectively manage COPD patients, improve medication compliance of patients, so as to improve the degree of dyspnea, self-conscious symptoms, self-care ability and exercise endurance of patients.

Objective:To summarize and compare the characteristics of oral microbiota in women during the preconception period and the third trimester.Methods:This retrospective cohort study involved 55 women who were recruited in the Preconceptional Offspring Trajectory Study (PLOTS) conducted by Fudan University and followed up to the third trimester in the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Jiading District of Shanghai from September 2016 to December 2019. A total of 110 unstimulated saliva samples were collected in the preconception period ( n=55) and the third trimester ( n=55). Features of oral microbiota in the samples were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene-based sequencing. Moreover, the related factors were also analyzed. Paired t test or Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test were used to analyze the differences in α-diversity during preconception and the third trimester; t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test for comparison between groups with different characteristics and permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PerMANOVA) for β-diversity were used; Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe 1.0) was used to identify the iconic oral flora. Results:(1) The Ace index of oral microbiota was significantly lower in the third trimester than that in the preconception period [661.14(578.15-752.85) vs 730.64 (632.40-911.00), T=1 077.00, P=0.010]. There was also a significance difference in β-diversity ( F=12.539, R2=0.104, P=0.001). Some species such as Saccharibacteria_TM7_G3, Prevotella_7, Absconditabacteria_SR1_G1, Porphyromonas, Ruminococcaceae_UCG_014, Prevotella, Peptostreptococcus, Prevotella_2, Alloprevotella, Parvimonas, Solobacterium and Eubacterium_nodatum_group in saliva were statistically more abundant in the third trimester than those in the preconception period (all P<0.05). (2) The third-trimester Shannon index was lower among those with lower income [5.44 (5.08-5.77) vs 5.75 (5.44-6.12), U=219.00, P=0.029] and those with gargle habit after meal or dessert [5.36 (4.91-5.48) vs 5.72 (5.44-6.05), U=374.00, P=0.046]. Conclusions:The features of oral microbiota vary in women during the preconception period and the third trimester. There is a significant increase in the abundance of oral pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria in the third trimester.

Neck myoclonus is part of sleep-related dyskinesia characterized by sudden myoclonus during night sleep. Myoclonus causes pronounced brief rotation or flexion of the head. As a single event, neck myoclon ususually occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and it lasts longer than 0.5-1.0 s. At present, neck myoclonus is rarely reported. A 28-year-old male whose clinical manifestation was repeated head swing during sleep was admitted to Tangdu Hospital. Video-polysomnography showed that all the events occurred during REM sleep, and some of them were accompanied by micro-arousal reaction and leg movement. Small does of clonazepam could relieve symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the safety of heparin used in plasma exchange (PE) and molecular absorbent recirculating system (MARS) for hepatic failure. Methods 8 databases were electronically searched including CNKI,CBM,WANFANG,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane and EMBASE.Two researchers individually performed the literature screening,data extraction and evaluation of risk of bias.Random or fixed effect model based on the result of the test of heterogeneity were chosento synthesize the datausing RevMan 5.3 software. Results 6 eligible studies with 863 patientswere included. Compared to omitting of heparin, the heparin PE could increase the probability of circuit clotting, hemorrhage in puncture point, puncture hematoma (RR = 6.05, 95% CI:2.00-18.30, P=0.001;RR=10.80,95% CI:4.78-24.37,P<0.05;RR=6.34,95% CI:1.13-35.53,P=0.04),but the probability of circuit blocking and other adverse reactions are not influenced(RR=5.61,95% CI:0.99-31.89,P=0.05;RR = 1.17,95% CI: 0.73-1.86, P=0.51). As for the treatment with MARS, heparin could increase the chance bleeding death (RR =12.04, 95% CI:1.69-85.66, P=0.01), but had no obvious effect on circuit clotting. Conclusion When curing the hepatic failure,heparin PE can increase the probability of circuit clotting, hemorrhage in puncture point and puncture hematoma, and heparin MARSE can increase the probability of bleeding death. On the contrary, no-heparin PE and MARSE will be safer in treatment of hepatic failure.
