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.

Objective To investigate the changes in eosinophil counts and the activation of microglial cells in the brain tissues of mice at different stages of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection, and to examine the role of microglia in regulating the progression of angiostrongyliasis and unravel the possible molecular mechanisms. Methods Fifty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the control group and the 7-d, 14-d, 21-day and 25-d infection groups, of 10 mice in each group. All mice in infection groups were infected with 30 stage III A. cantonensis larvae by gavage, and animals in the control group was given an equal amount of physiological saline. Five mice were collected from each of infection groups on days 7, 14, 21 d and 25 d post-infection, and 5 mice were collected from the control group on the day of oral gavage. The general and focal functional impairment was scored using the Clark scoring method to assess the degree of mouse neurological impairment. Five mice from each of infection groups were sacrificed on days 7, 14, 21 d and 25 d post-infection, and 5 mice from the control group were sacrificed on the day of oral gavage. Mouse brain tissues were sampled, and the pathological changes of brain tissues were dynamically observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Immunofluorescence staining with eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) was used to assess the degree of eosinophil infiltration and the counts of microglial cells in mouse brain tissues in each group, and the morphological parameters of microglial cells (skeleton analysis and fractal analysis) were quantified by using Image J software to determine the morphological changes of microglial cells. In addition, the expression of M1 microglia markers Fcγ receptor III (Fcgr3), Fcγ receptor IIb (Fcgr2b) and CD86 antigen (Cd86), M2 microglia markers Arginase 1 (Arg1), macrophage mannose receptor C-type 1 (Mrc1), chitinase-like 3 (Chil3), and phagocytosis genes myeloid cell triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2), CD68 antigen (Cd68), and apolipoprotein E (Apoe) was quantified using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) assay in the mouse cerebral cortex of mice post-infection. Results A large number of A. cantonensis larvae were seen on the mouse meninges surface post-infection, and many neuronal nuclei were crumpled and deeply stained, with a large number of bleeding points in the meninges. The median Clark scores of mouse general functional impairment were 0 (interquartile range, 0), 0 (interquartile range, 0.5), 6 (interquartile range, 1.0), 14 (interquartile range, 8.5) points and 20 (interquartile range, 9.0) points in the control group and the 7-d, 14-d, 21-d and 25-d groups, respectively (H = 22.45, P < 0.01), and the median Clark scores of mouse focal functional impairment were 0 (interquartile range, 0), 2 (interquartile range, 2.5), 7 (interquartile range, 3.0), 18 (interquartile range, 5.0) points and 25 (interquartile range, 6.5) points in the control group and the 7-d, 14-d, 21-d and 25-d groups, respectively (H = 22.72, P < 0.01). The mean scores of mice general and focal functional impairment were all higher in the infection groups than in the control group (all P values < 0.05). Immunofluorescence staining showed a significant difference in the eosinophil counts in mouse brain tissues among the five groups (F = 40.05, P < 0.000 1), and the eosinophil counts were significantly higher in mouse brain tissues in the 14-d (3.08 ± 0.78) and 21-d infection groups (5.97 ± 1.37) than in the control group (1.00 ± 0.28) (both P values < 0.05). Semi-quantitative analysis of microglia immunofluorescence showed a significant difference in the counts of microglial cells among the five groups (F = 17.66, P < 0.000 1), and higher Iba1 levels were detected in mouse brain tissues in 14-d (5.75 ± 1.28), 21-d (6.23 ± 1.89) and 25-d infection groups (3.70 ± 1.30) than in the control group (1.00 ± 0.30) (all P values < 0.05). Skeleton and fractal analyses showed that the branch length [(162.04 ± 34.10) μm vs. (395.37 ± 64.11) μm; t = 5.566, P < 0.05] and fractal dimension of microglial cells (1.30 ± 0.01 vs. 1.41 ± 0.03; t = 5.266, P < 0.05) were reduced in mouse brain tissues in the 21-d infection group relative to the control group. In addition, there were significant differences among the 5 groups in terms of M1 and M2 microglia markers Fcgr3 (F = 48.34, P < 0.05), Fcgr2b (F = 55.46, P < 0.05), Cd86 (F = 24.44, P < 0.05), Arg1 (F = 31.18, P < 0.05), Mrc1 (F = 15.42, P < 0.05) and Chil3 (F = 24.41, P < 0.05), as well as phagocytosis markers Trem2 (F = 21.19, P < 0.05), Cd68 (F = 43.95, P < 0.05) and Apoe (F = 7.12, P < 0.05) in mice brain tissues. Conclusions A. cantonensis infections may induce severe pathological injuries in mouse brain tissues that are characterized by massive eosinophil infiltration and persistent activation of microglia cells, thereby resulting in progressive deterioration of neurological functions.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of different processed products of Baiyaojian and its compound Xiangmei pills in rats with ulcerative colitis(UC) by comparing the pharmacodynamic and metabolomic differences. MethodEighty SD rats were acclimatized and kept for 3 d, and randomly divided into 8 groups[blank group, model group, mesalazine group(0.4 g·kg-1), Baiyaojian group(1.89 g·kg-1), stir-fried Baiyaojian group(1.89 g·kg-1), carbonized Baiyaojian group(1.89 g·kg-1), and Xiangmei pills low and high dose groups(1.89, 5.67 g·kg-1)], with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the blank group were administered physiological saline by gavage, and rats in the remaining 7 groups were orally administered 5% dextran sodium sulfate(DSS) solution daily for 8 consecutive days to induce UC model. After successful modeling, each dosing group was given the corresponding dose of drug solution by gavage, and the blank and model groups were given equal amounts of saline by gavage, and the drug was administered continuously for 8 d. Then serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-6, IL-10 and IL-1β were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of colon tissue, the proportion of T helper 17 cells(Th17) and regulatory T cells(Treg) in the peripheral blood of rats in each group was detected by flow cytometry. The endogenous metabolites in serum of rats were detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS), and the differential metabolites were characterized by combining principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA), and were analyzed according to the variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1.0 and P<0.05, and potential metabolic pathways were analyzed according to Human Metabolome Database(HMDB). ResultCompared with the blank group, the colon tissue of the model group was congested and the mucosa was ulcerated, the colon length was significantly reduced(P<0.01) and the quality was significantly increased(P<0.05), the proportion of Th17/Treg in the peripheral blood and the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly increased, while the IL-10 expression wassignificantly reduced(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the colon tissue of UC rats in each treatment group was improved with scattered ulcers, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, significantly increased colon length, and significantly decreased mass(P<0.05), the proportion of Th17/Treg in the peripheral blood decreased, the expression of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β was significantly reduced(P<0.05, P<0.01), while the IL-10 expression was significantly increased(P<0.01). The therapeutic effect of different administration groups on UC was in the order of high dose group of Xiangmei pills>low dose group of Xiangmei pills>carbonized Baiyaojian group>stir-fried Baiyaojian group>Baiyaojian group. And a total of 26 differential metabolites were screened in the metabolomics results. Compared with the blank group, 14 differential metabolites were up-regulated and 5 metabolites were down-regulated in the model group, and 14, 9, 14, 12 and 17 metabolites could be recalled in the Baiyaojian group, stir-fried Baiyaojian group, carbonized Baiyaojian group, Xiangmei pills low and high dose groups. The main metabolic pathways involved were citrate cycle pathway, pantothenic acid and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathway, aromatic hydrocarbon receptor(AhR) signaling pathway, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway. ConclusionThe therapeutic effect of Baiyaojian on UC is significantly improved after charcoal stir-frying, and the efficacy is more prominent when combined with Angelicae Dahuricae Radix and Mume Fructus Carbonisata, which can provide a basis for the development of Baiyaojian compound preparations.

Research into human drug metabolism,liver disease modeling as well as drug screening heavily depend on cell cultures for in vitro validation and experimental animal models for in vivo analysis.However,these methods are not without limitations.Cell stability is often compromised in vitro,and the species-specific differences between experimental animals and humans restrict the accuracy of these models in replicating in vivo drug metabolism and the pathophysiological features of human liver diseases.Humanized liver chimeric mouse models,developed through the transplantation and expan-sion of human liver cells into the livers of live mice,replicate the specific functionalities of the human liver.This replication is instrumental in fulfilling a variety of research objectives,including the replication of hepatitis viruses within mice,the modeling of liver metabolic disorders,the screening of liver cell-targeted therapeutic agents,and the evaluation of drug-induced hepatotoxicity.As such,these models are regarded as optimal for the preclinical validation of drug efficacy and safety assessment.This paper presents a comprehensive review and a vision of three representative humanized liver chimeric mouse models in terms of classification,construction principles,limitations,and current applications,thereby offering reference for the selection of appropriate models in research.

Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC) syndrome is a relatively rare disease, and ultrasound is the first screening method for initial diagnosis of the disease. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has unique advantages in the follow-up of patients with TIPIC syndrome. This paper reports a patient with TIPIC syndrome who was treated with acute left neck pain. The inflammation was significantly relieved and subsided after treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The ultrasound changes of carotid artery lesions in this patient during follow-up were analyzed, and the application value of CEUS in the follow-up diagnosis of this disease was summarized, in the hope of providing clinical reference.
