Autoimmune disease is a kind of heterogeneous disease caused by the loss of immune tolerance to autoantigens.In recent years,antibody drug has become an important choice for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.Monoclonal antibodies are limited by their large relative molecular mass and difficult to penetrate solid tissues,while nanobodies,the smallest antibody fragment known to date with intact antigen recognition,have gained much attention in the treatment of autoimmune diseases due to their ease of modifi-cation,high penetration,and ability to target more cryptic epitopes.The review focuses on the application of nanobodies in the treat-ment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis,acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura,systemic lupus erythematosus,psoria-sis,and looks forward to the prospect of nanobodies in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Tongyuan Acupuncture combined with Modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)with spleen deficiency and phlegm-damp syndrome.Methods A total of 86 patients with PCOS of spleen deficiency and phlegm-damp type were randomly divided into observation group and control group,43 cases in each group.The control group was treated with Metformin Hydrochloride Tablets combined with Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone Acetate Tablets.The observation group was treated with Tongyuan Acupuncture combined with Modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction on the basis of the treatment of the control group.Both groups were treated for three consecutive months.After three months of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The changes of sex hormone indexes estradiol(E2),testosterone(T),luteinizing hormone(LH),follicle stimulating hormone(FSH)and prolactin(PRL)expression levels were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.The changes of glucose metabolism levels including insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),fasting insulin(FINS)and fasting blood glucose(FPG)expression levels were compared before and after treatment between the two groups.Results(1)The total effective rate was 90.70%(39/43)in the observation group and 74.42%(32/43)in the control group.The curative effect of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,HOMA-IR,FINS and FPG in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the improvement of HOMA-IR,FINS and FPG in the observation group was superior to that in the control group,the difference being significant(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the levels of E2,T,LH,FSH and PRL in the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the levels of E2,T,LH,FSH and PRL in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Tongyuan Acupuncture combined with Modified Linggui Zhugan Decoction in the treatment of spleen deficiency and phlegm-damp type of PCOS can effectively improve the sex hormone level of patients and regulate the glucose metabolism of patients.The clinical effect is significant.

Objective:To investigate the etiology of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Mianyang city in 2022, and to analyze the genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus A6.Methods:Pharyngeal swabs were collected from patients with HFMD in Mianyang city in 2022. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect enteroviruses in the samples. Part of the VP1 gene in enterovirus-positive samples was amplified by nested PCR using enterovirus typing primers to further identify the viral types. The VP1 coding region of all CVA6-positive samples and the whole genome of some samples were amplified and sequenced by PCR. The endemic strain in Mianyang city was analyzed for phylogeny, gene homology, amino acid variation and genetic recombination.Results:A total of 151 pharyngeal swabs were collected, and 104 enterovirus-positive samples were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, with an overall detection rate of 68.88% (104/151). The typing results showed that there were 77 cases of CVA6 infection, with a positive rate of 50.99% (77/151). The full-length VP1 genes of 77 CVA6 strains were amplified, sequenced, and successfully spliced, and phylogenetic analysis showed that all 77 strains were of the D3 genotype. There were multiple amino acid variant sites in the prevalent strains in Mianyang city compared with the reference strain. Twenty whole genome sequences were amplified, sequenced, and successfully spliced, and homology analysis showed that the nucleotide homology between the 20 positive sequences ranged from 97.0% to 99.9%. Phylogenetic tree and recombination analysis showed that no recombination occurred in the coding regions of the epidemic strains in this study.Conclusions:The predominant pathogen causing HFMD in Mianyang city in 2022 is CVA6 D3 subtype, which is consistent with the national epidemic in 2022.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Objective: To investigate the impact of COVID-19 on treatment of patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI). Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study. STEMI patients undergoing PPCI from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 were selected, based on the data of Xinnaolvsetongdao App. Clinical data and treatment time indicators, including symptom to first medical contact (S-FMC), symptom to door (StoD), first medical contact to ECG (FMC-ECG), first medical contact to guide wire (FMC-W), door to balloon (DtoB) and total ischemic time in 2019, 2020 and 2021 were compared. STEMI patients aged<60 years were sub-grouped as the young and middle-aged group, and STEMI patients aged≥60 years were sub-grouped as the elderly group. Results: A total of 7 435 (3 305 in 2019, 1 796 in 2020 and 2 334 in 2021) STEMI patients aged (59.6±12.6) years undergoing PPCI were included in this analysis. There were 5 990 males. For STEMI patients with PPCI in 2019, 2020 and 2021, FMC-ECG was 3 (1, 5) min, 3(1, 7) min and 4 (1, 7) min. FMC-W was 73 (56, 87) min, 78 (62, 95) min and 77 (62, 87) min. DtoB was 73 (56, 85) min, 78 (62, 95) min and 77 (62, 86) min. Total ischemic time was 189 (130, 273) min, 196 (138, 295) min and 209 (143, 276) min. FMC-ECG, FMC-W, DtoB and total ischemic time were longer in 2020 and 2021 than in 2019 (all P<0.05). The proportions of patients with FMC-ECG≤10 min (88.4% (1 588/1 796) vs. 92.7% (3 064/3 305), P<0.05), FMC-W≤120 min (87.9% (1 579/1796) vs. 91.7% (3 030/3 305), P<0.05) and DtoB≤90 min (72.3% (1 298/1 796) vs. 80.8% (2 672/3 305), P<0.05) were lower in 2020 than in 2019, whereas no differences were observed in the proportions of patients with FMC-ECG≤10 min (91.3% (2 131/2 334) vs. 92.7% (3 064/3 305), P=0.054), FMC-W≤120 min (92.0% (2 148/2 334) vs. 91.7% (3 030/3 305), P=0.635) and DtoB≤90 min (80.0% (1 867/2 334) vs. 80.8% (2 672/3 305), P=0.424) in 2021 compared with 2019. In the subgroup analysis, the proportions of patients with FMC-ECG≤10 min, FMC-W≤120 min and DtoB≤90 min were lower in the elderly group than in young and middle-aged group in 2019 (all P<0.05). The proportions of patients with FMC-W≤120 min and DtoB≤90 min were lower in the elderly group than in young and middle-aged group in 2021(all P<0.05). No differences were observed in the proportions of patients with FMC-ECG≤10 min, FMC-W≤120 min and DtoB≤90 min between the two group in 2020 (all P>0.05). Conclusions: Affected by the COVID-19, there is a reduction in the number of PPCI cases and treatment delays in STEMI patients, especially in the elderly. After adjusting the treatment strategy and widely applying the Xinnaolvsetongdao APP, the above indicators are significantly improved in 2021 as compared with 2020.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different concentrations of Qilan Prescription(QLP)on the proliferation and apoptosis of human PCa DU145 cells and its underlying mechanism.Methods:We treated human PCa DU145 cells with QLP at 400,200,100,50,25,12.5,6.25,3.125 or 1.56 μg/ml for 24,48 and 72 hours respectively.Then we observed the morphologi-cal changes of the cells,examined their viability by CCK-8 assay,detected their cell cycle and apoptosis by flow cytometry,and deter-mined the protein expressions of cyclin D1,Bax,Bcl-2 and cleaved-caspase 3 in the DU145 cells by Western blot,followed by com-parison of the parameters with those obtained from the blank control group.Results:QLP significantly inhibited the growth,reduced the contour clarity and adhesion ability of the DU145 cells at the concentrations of 100,200 and 400 μg/ml,and markedly decreased the activity of the cells at 200 and 400 μg/ml,most significantly at 400 μg/ml.The number of the G2-phase DU145 cells was dramat-ically increased in all the concentration groups(P＜0.01),so was the total number of apoptotic DU145 cells(P＜0.01),while that of the S-phase cells remarkably decreased in the 400 μg/ml QLP(P＜0.01)and 200 μg/ml QLP(P＜0.05)groups.The ex-pression of the cyclin D1 protein was significantly down-regulated in the 400 μg/ml QLP group(P＜0.01).That of Bcl-2 was also down-regulated(P＜0.01)while those of Bax and cleaved-caspase 3 up-regulated in the 400 and 200 μg/ml QLP groups(P＜0.01).Conclusion:QLP can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of human PCa DU145 cells,which may be associat-ed with its effects of down-regulating the expression of the cell cycle-related protein cyclin D1,disrupting the Bax-Bcl-2 balance,and up-regulating the expression of cleaved-caspase 3.
