Objective:
To investigate the resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid and the changing trends among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Luohu District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province from 2012 to 2022, so as to provide insights into improving drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis control and prevention strategies.
Methods:
Basic information, treatment classification and drug resistance data of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and positive pathogenic detection in Luohu District from 2012 to 2022 were collected through the Tuberculosis Surveillance System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and resistance rates of rifampicin and isoniazid and the changing trends were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 2 126 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were collected and had a median age of 34 (interquartile range, 25) years, including 1 334 males (62.75%) and 792 females (37.25%). There were 302 patients with drug-resistance in Luohu District from 2012 to 2022, with a resistance rate of 14.21%. Among them, 60 patients were monoresistant to rifampicin (2.82%), 113 patients were monoresistant to isoniazid (5.32%), and 129 patients were multidrug resistant (6.07%). The rate of rifampicin monoresistance showed a downward trend from 2012 to 2022, while the rate of multidrug resistance showed an upward trend (both P<0.05). There was no significant tendency in the rate of isoniazid monoresistance (P>0.05). The rate of multidrug resistance among patients without Shenzhen residence was higher than that among patients with Shenzhen residence; the rates of rifampicin resistance and multidrug resistance among retreated patients were higher than those among treatment-naïve patients (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The rate of rifampicin monoresistance appeared a downward trend and the rate of multidrug resistance appeared an upward trend among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Luohu District from 2012 to 2022. Attention should be given to non-Shenzhen residence and retreated patients.

After systematically reviewing the syndrome distribution, evolution, diagnostic criteria, effectiveness evaluation and genomics study on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in the past decade, we found that there are problems such as inconsistency in the nomenclature of syndrome, lack of quantitative diagnostic tools for syndrome, less developed evaluation tools for syndrome efficacy, and singularity of genomics technique. Based on this, it was proposed that we should pay attention to the standardisation of syndrome naming, strengthen the research on quantitative diagnostic methods, establish standardised and quantitative diagnostic tools, further improve the existing assessment tools of syndrome effectiveness, and integrate the existing genomics techniques to conduct research, so as to support the further research on AECOPD syndromes.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Shenfu yixin decoction on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and energy metabolism in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes. METHODS: After isolation, culture and identification, primary cardiomyocytes of neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group (coenzyme Q10, 0.1 mmol/L) and Shenfu yixin decoction low-dose and high-dose groups (0.25, 0.5 mg/mL). Except for normal group, other groups were cultured with 5%O2, 5%CO2 and 90%N2 for 6 h to induce hypoxic injury model. After 6 hours of hypoxia, ROS contents in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria of each group were detected by ROS probe and flow cytometry. Luciferase luminescence and Western blotting were used to detect ATP content and CK protein expression of each group. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes in each group. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, the expression of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and mitochondria as well as the content of ROS were increased significantly, while the content of ATP and expression levels of CK protein were decreased significantly (P<0.05); there were swelling of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, dissolution or even disappearance of mitochondrial ridge, obvious cardiomyocytes injury. Compared with model group, the expression of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and mitochondria of administration groups, the contents of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as the content of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes mitochondria of administration groups were all decreased significantly, while ATP contents in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as expression levels of CK protein in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of administration groups were all increased significantly (P<0.05). The primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes injury was relieved significantly in positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group. CONCLUSIONS: Shenfu yixin decoction can improve primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes, down-regulate the expression of ROS in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria and also improve its energy metabolism.

This article was aimed to determine effects of Jia-Shen prescription (JSP) on infarct size (IS), cardiac function and myocardial cytokine in the early phase of myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Acute MI models were induced by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were ran-domly divided into five groups, which were the sham-operated group, model group, JSP-3 g (3 g·kg-1·day-1) group, JSP-6 g (6 g·kg-1·day-1) group, and the losartan (10 mg·kg-1·day-1) group. IS was determined by Evans blue and 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) 3 days after MI. The left ventricular structure and contractility were measured by echocardiography performed 7 days after MI. And contents of myocardial inflammatory mediators in-cluding tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured by ELISA. The results showed that compared with the model group, treatment with JSP at the dose of 6 g significantly reduced myocardial IS (P<0.05);left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricu-lar end systolic diameter (LVESD) were significantly decreased (P<0.05); left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) were significantly increased (P<0.05).The results were similar as the losartan group. Compared with the model group, JSP can significantly reduce the production of TNF-α, IL-1βand MCP-1 in cardiac tissues (P<0.05). Except TNF-α, these effects of JSP were in a dose-dependent manner. JSP (6 g) had equal effectiveness with losartan. It was concluded that consistent with losartan-induced cardioprotection, JSP administered after MI reduced myocardial IS, improved cardiac function, and decreased inflammatory mediators in ischemic myocardium. The data indicated that JSP exerted its cardioprotection possibly via inhibiting inflammatory response.
