ObjectiveTo evaluate the intervention effect of meteorological risk forecasting service on acute onset and medical expenses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD） patients， and to provide scientific basis for the establishment of health management model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD） patients. MethodsStudy subjects were recruited from chronic obstructive pulmonary patients aged ≥40 in Pudong New Area. Propensity score matching method was used to determine the intervention group and the control group. The control group received regular health education and follow-up management， and the intervention group was provided with meteorological and environmental risk forecasting services through WeChat， mobile phone short message service（SMS）and telephone. Finally， a total of2 589 subjects were included in the analysis， including 1 300 in the intervention group and 1 289 in the control group. General demographic data， past medical history and family history of COPD， COPD related knowledge and practice survey， COPD related symptom assessment， acute onset， health service utilization and medical expenses before and after intervention were collected through questionnaire survey. The differences of acute attack， health service utilization and related medical expenses between the two groups before and after intervention were compared to evaluate the intervention effect. ResultsIn terms of acute attacks， after intervention， the incidence of acute attacks in the intervention group was lower than that before intervention（χ²=52.901， P<0.001）， and the incidence of acute attacks in the groups with different intervention methods was lower than that before intervention （P<0.001）. WeChat had the best effect， decreasing the incidence by 14.4%， followed by mobile phone SMS SMS decreasing by 12.3%. In terms of utilization of health services， the outpatient rate due to acute attack was lower in the intervention group after intervention than that before intervention （χ²=7.129， P=0.008）， and the outpatient rate due to acute attack was lower in the subjects who received the forecast service through mobile phone SMS than that before intervention （χ²=4.675， P<0.001）. In terms of medical expenses， there was no significant difference between control group and intervention group with different intervention methods before intervention （P>0.05）. After intervention， the difference between the control group and the intervention group with different intervention methods was statistically significant （H=11.864， P<0.05）. The results of multiple comparisons showed that compared with the control group， the average annual medical expenses of patients receiving mobile phone SMS and telephone forecasting services after intervention were lower than those of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. ConclusionMeteorological risk forecasting service can reduce the acute onset of COPD， reduce the rate of consultation and medical expenses due to acute onset， and provide scientific basis for the basic COPD health management model.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between macular cherry red spot (CS) and severity of neurological manifestations in Chinese children with sialidosis (SD) type I.Methods:A evidence-based medical study. "China", "Sialidosis" and "Sialidoses" were used as Chinese and English search terms. The literature was searched in CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed. The cases were all from China and matched the diagnostic criteria. According to the presence or absence of CS in the fundus, the SD children were divided into a group with CS (+) and a group without CS (-), and the correlation between the occurrence of ocular CS and neurological manifestations was compared with meta-analysis by RevMan 5.3 software.Results:Sixty-eight studies were initially retrieved according to the search strategy, and 17 studies were finally included, and 5 studies with CS+ and CS- were meta-analyzed. Among the 43 patients, 28 were male and 15 were female, with a median age of 12 years. Visual impairment was observed in 37 cases (90.2%, 37/41, 2 cases not recorded), and CS was present in 24 cases (55.8%, 24/43). The most common neurological manifestation was myoclonus (97.7%, 42/43), followed by cerebellar ataxia (95.1%, 39/41, 2 cases not recorded) and seizures (91.4%, 32/35, 8 cases not recorded). Pathogenic NEU1 gene mutations were detected in 42 cases and one case was undocumented. The incidence of seizure in group CS+ (100%, 20/20) was higher than that in group CS- (80%, 12/15). Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the incidence of myoclonus or ataxia [relative risk ( RR)=1.13, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.79-1.63, P=0.49] and seizure ( RR=1.13, 95% CI 0.84-2.06, P=0.24) among the children in the CS+ and CS- groups. Conclusions:The incidence of ocular CS in Chinese children with type I SD was 55.8%. There was no correlation with neurological manifestations, however the incidence of seizure was significantly higher in patients with CS than in others without CS.

Conclusions:The series clonal isolation of 2019-nCoV with typical CPE of coronavirus, clear morphological structure, good viral activity and stable genetic characteristics were prepared, and they could be used to apply for national standard strains.

It is estimated that approximately seven million people worldwide are affected by inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),causing a huge burden on healthcare systems and society.In the occurrence,progression,and treatment of IBD,the intestinal microbiota and its key metabolic product,bile acids,play a crucial role.The intestinal microbiota not only participates in the biotransformation of bile acids,enriching the diversity of bile acids,but also regulates their synthesis and transport through the farnesoid X receptor(FXR).Meanwhile,bile acids contribute to regulating the structure and function of the intestinal microbiota by supporting microbial diversity,exerting direct toxicity,participating in indirect antimicrobial pathways,and influencing microbial metabolic capabilities.Furthermore,under normal physiological conditions,intestinal microbiota-derived bile acids facilitate the repair process of the intestinal epithelial barrier.They also promote the balance of the immune system by modulating the functions of various immune cells including helper T(Th)cells 17,regulatory T(Treg)cells,CD8+T cells and natural killer T(NKT)cells,thereby slowing down the development of IBD.This article focuses on exploring the role of intestinal microbiota and bile acids in the onset and progression of IBD,and investigating new effective treatment strategies by targeting intestinal microbiota and bile acids,such as bile acid receptor modulators,probiotics,prebiotics,fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT),and phage therapy.

Objective To analyze the domestic antibody drug safety and risk research status,the latest research hotspots and frontiers in the current ten years.Methods CiteSpace 6.2.R2 software was used to analyze all literature related to the safety and risk of antibody drugs in CNKI,WanFang data and Vip database from 2012 to 2022.Results A total of 2 773 pieces of literature were obtained from the three databases,which were imported into CiteSpace after deduplication,and finally,1 870 pieces were included in the analysis.In the past decade,the number of articles published in the field of antibody drugs safety and risk research has remained at about 100 articles per year from 2012 to 2019,since 2020,the number of articles published has started to increase,and the annual number of articles published has increased to around 300 articles from 2021 to 2022.The network graph of domestic institutional cooperation showed that there was a lack of cooperation among the research institutions of antibody drug safety and risk research,mainly due to the fact that hospitals were conducting research in this field,and the types of research subjects were relatively single.The author collaboration network graph showed that the core teams in this research field,such as Li Bo,Yang Yanwei,and Lin Zhi,had the closest collaboration,while there was less collaboration among high-yield authors,additionally,some experts and scholars conducted research on their own as individuals or small groups,the research focused on adverse reactions,safety,bevacizumab,Rituximab,Meta-analysis,etc.Conclusion In the past decade,domestic research has mainly focused on the clinical efficacy and safety of antibody drugs,with few scholars exploring the risk of antibody drugs,therefore,in the future,it is necessary to pay attention to the research on the risks of antibody drugs.

Objective:To explore the manifestations of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)on acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation of children and adolescents.Methods:MRI images of the affected side and healthy side of 110 children and adolescents with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation who were treated in the Second Hospital of Tangshan from July 2016 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The correlation of the medial patellofemoral ligament(MPFL)on the affected side between the tear location and tear degree was compared and analyzed.According to the cartilage injury grading system of international cartilage repair society(ICRS),the articular cartilage injury of affected side was divided into 4 grades,and the correlation between the articular cartilage injury grading and the articular cartilage injury location was compared and analyzed.Three methods of measuring patellar height,which included Insall-Salvati index(ISI),patellotrocheal index(PTI)and Caton-Deschamps index(CDI),were used to compare and analyze the differences of MRI data of patellar height between the affected side of knee joint and the healthy knee joint of pediatric children.Results:In 110 patients with MPFL injury,73 cases were partial tears and 37 cases were complete tears.There was significant difference in the injury at MPFL patellar attachment location between complete tears(22 cases)and partial tears(19 cases)(x2=11.740,P<0.05),and there was significant difference in MPFL multiple injury between partial tear(40 cases)and complete tear(8 cases)(x2=10.990,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the injuries of MPFL middle segment and the origin of femur between partial tears and complete tears.There were 162 lesions in 110 cases with osteochondral injury,which included 55 lesions on the patellar side,33 lesions on the femur side and 74 multiple lesions according to the part of injury.There was significant difference between the location of osteochondral injury and injury grading(x2=38.153,P<0.05).The ISI,PTI and CDI on the affected side were significantly lower than those on the healthy side in pediatric patients with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation of children and adolescents(x2=30.853,12.586,19.656,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:The complete tears are more likely to occur in the injury of MPFL patellar attachment location of pediatric patients with acute traumatic lateral patellar dislocation of children and adolescents,while multiple injuries are more likely to be in partial tears.There is correlation between the articular cartilage injury grading and the articular cartilage injury location in pediatric patients.MRI is an important method to diagnose MPFL injury,which can provide more evidence for clinical treatment.

Background/Aims: Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), a common precancerous lesion of gastric cancer, can be caused by bile acid reflux. GATA binding protein 4 (GATA4) is an intestinal transcription factor involved in the progression of gastric cancer. However, the expression and regulation of GATA4 in GIM has not been clarified. Methods: The expression of GATA4 in bile acid-induced cell models and human specimens was examined. The transcriptional regulation of GATA4 was investigated by chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter gene analysis. An animal model of duodenogastric reflux was used to confirm the regulation of GATA4 and its target genes by bile acids. Results: GATA4 expression was elevated in bile acid-induced GIM and human specimens.GATA4 bound to the promoter of mucin 2 (MUC2) and stimulate its transcription. GATA4 and MUC2 expression was positively correlated in GIM tissues. Nuclear transcription factor-κB activation was required for the upregulation of GATA4 and MUC2 in bile acid-induced GIM cell models. GATA4 and caudal-related homeobox 2 (CDX2) reciprocally transactivated each other to drive the transcription of MUC2. In chenodeoxycholic acid-treated mice, MUC2, CDX2, GATA4, p50, and p65 expression levels were increased in the gastric mucosa. Conclusions GATA4 is upregulated and can form a positive feedback loop with CDX2 to transactivate MUC2 in GIM. NF-κB signaling is involved in the upregulation of GATA4 by chenodeoxycholic acid.

Background/Aims: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are believed to drive tumor development and metastasis. Activin and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) are important cytokines with the ability to induce cancer stemness. However, the effect of activin and HGF combination treatment on CSCs is still unclear. Methods: In this study, we sequentially treated colorectal cancer cells with activin and HGF and examined CSC marker expression, self-renewal, tumorigenesis, and metastasis. The roles of forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) and sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2), two stemness-related transcription factors, in activin/HGF-induced aggressive phenotype were explored. Results: Activin and HGF treatment increased the expression of CSC markers and enhanced sphere formation in colorectal cancer cells. The tumorigenic and metastatic capacities of colorectal cancer cells were enhanced upon activin and HGF treatment. Activin and HGF treatment preferentially promoted stemness and metastasis of CD133 + subpopulations sorted from colorectal cancer cells. FOXM1 was upregulated by activin and HGF treatment, and the knockdown of FOXM1 blocked activin/HGF-induced stemness, tumorigenesis, and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells.Similarly, SOX2 was silencing impaired sphere formation of activin/HGF-treated colorectal cancers. Overexpression of SOX2 rescued the stem cell-like phenotype in FOXM1-depleted colorectal cancer cells with activin and HGF treatment. Additionally, the inhibition of FOXM1 via thiostrepton suppressed activin/HGF-induced stemness, tumorigenesis and metastasis. Conclusions Sequential treatment with activin and HGF promotes colorectal cancer stemness and metastasis through activation of the FOXM1/SOX2 signaling. FOXM1 could be a potential target for the treatment of colorectal cancer metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of Water-soluble total alkaloids of Yimucao Injection(YITA)on postpartum uterine involution.Methods A guinea pig abortion model was established by drug method.0.17 g·kg-1 YITA was intragastrically administered to record the amount of bleeding and the contents of E2 and P in serum of guinea pigs after delivery.The uterine coefficient was calculated and the contents of NO,ET-1 and Ca2+ in uterine tissue were measured.The isolated uterine model and the in vivo uterine model were prepared by guinea pigs.The former was given YITA 0.05,0.1 and 0.2 mg·mL-1,and the latter was intramuscularly injected with YITA 10,20 and 40 mg·kg-1.The changes of uterine smooth muscle(USM)contractile activity,frequency and tension were recorded by biological function test system.Results Intragastric administration of YITA could decrease the uterine coefficient(P<0.001),NO content in uterine tissue and serum P content in guinea pigs with medical abortion(P<0.01),significantly increased ET/NO ratio(P<0.001);it tended to increase Ca2+ content in uterine tissue(P<0.1).In the isolated USM test,50 and 100 mg·L-1 YITA significantly increased USM contractile activity in guinea pigs(P<0.05),and 200 mg·L-1 YITA significantly decreased USM contractile minimum in guinea pigs(P<0.05)in the in vivo USM contractile test,YITA enhanced USM contractile activity,and 40 mg·kg-1 YITA significantly increased USM contractile activity and frequency in guinea pigs(P<0.05);10 mg·kg-1 YITA significantly increased USM contractile frequency in guinea pigs(P<0.05)and tended to increase motility(P=0.0569<0.1);20 mg·kg-1 YITA tended to increase frequency(P=0.0898,0.0699 respectively,<0.1).Conclusion YITA has the effect of promoting uterine involution,and the mechanism is related to the regulation of ET/NO balance and the direct promotion of USM contraction.YITA is an effective substance for uterine contraction and hemostasis with leonurus injection in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage and uterine involution.
