    Abstract To investigate the impact of RDW/CA (the ratio of red cell distribution width to calcium) on in-hospital mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). This retrospective cohort study analyzed the data of 6981 ARF patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database 2.0. Critically ill participants between 2008 and 2019 at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. The primary outcome of interest was in-hospital mortality. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to determine whether the RDW/CA ratio independently correlated with in-hospital mortality. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves of the RDW/CA. Subgroup analyses were performed to measure the mortality across various subgroups. After adjusting for potential covariates, we found that a higher RDW/CA was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.01-1.35, P = .0365) in ARF patients. A nonlinear relationship was observed between RDW/CA and in-hospital mortality, with an inflection point of 1.97. When RDW/CA ≥ 1.97 was positively correlated with in-hospital mortality in patients with ARF (HR = 1.554, 95% CI: 1.183-2.042, P = .0015). The Kaplan-Meier curve indicated the higher survival rates for RDW/CA < 1.97 and the lower for RDW/CA ≥ 1.97 after adjustment for age, gender, body mass index, and ethnicity. RDW/CA is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with ARF. Furthermore, a nonlinear relationship was observed between RDW/CA and in-hospital mortality in patients with ARF.

    Abstract GLUT4 is an important glucose transporter, which is closely related to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of Estradiol Dipropionate (EDP) on uptake of glucose in L6 skeletal muscle cells. In our study, we confirmed that EDP promoted uptake of glucose in L6 skeletal muscle cells in both normal and insulin resistant models. Western blot indicated that EDP accelerated GLUT4 expression and significantly activated AMPK and PKC phosphorylation; the expression of GLUT4 was significantly inhibited by AMPK inhibitor compound C and PKC inhibitor Gö6983, but not by Wortmannin (Akt inhibitor). Meanwhile, EDP boosted GLUT4 expression, and also increased intracellular Ca

    Abstract Measles is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the measles virus. It is highly infectious and easy to occur in children. It causes many serious complications such as tracheitis, otitis media and pneumonia. Since the promotion of the measles vaccine in China, the measles epidemic has been effectively controlled. From June 1, 2020, the immunization procedure of measles-containing vaccine for children in Shanghai has been adjusted to one dose of measles, mumps and rubella combined live attenuated vaccine (MMR) at the age of 8 months, 18 months and 6 years. There is generally no local reaction after the injection of the MMR vaccine. A few individuals may have transient fever and scattered rash, which generally fade away by themselves. However, because it is a live vaccine, it may cause vaccine related diseases in extremely rare cases. This paper reports two cases of measles after vaccination with the MMR vaccine.

    Abstract ObjectiveTo determine the reporting rate of adverse reaction of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) containing vaccine in Songjiang District from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide evidence for the inclusion of Hib vaccine in children's immunization planning and safety monitoring.MethodsThe adverse reaction data of Hib vaccination were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System and presented by descriptive methods.ResultsFrom 2016 to 2020, the reporting rate of adverse reaction of various Hib-containing vaccines in Songjiang District was determined to be 747.76/105 doses, among which the rates of general reaction and abnormal reaction were 734.31/105 doses and 13.45/105 doses, respectively. The reporting rate of general reaction was significantly higher than that of abnormal reaction (χ2=1 400.18,P<0.001). Moreover, the reporting rate of adverse reaction did not differ significantly by sex or registered residence, whereas it differed significantly by age groups (χ2=366.07,P<0.001). Children ≥12 months old had the highest reporting rate, which was caused by higher rate of general reaction (χ2=360.48,P<0.001) compared with other age groups; in contrast, there was no difference in the reporting rate of abnormal reactions across age groups. The reporting rate of adverse reaction differed significantly across four Hib-containing vaccines (χ2=508.51,P<0.001), among which the reporting rate of pentavalent vaccine was the highest, followed by tetravalent vaccine, and Hib vaccine and meningococcal HI vaccine. This difference was mainly caused by general reaction (χ2=499.19,P<0.001). The reporting rate of booster Hib-containing vaccines was significantly higher than that of basic immunization (χ2=462.85,P<0.001). Furthermore, the reporting rate differed between DTaP-Hib vaccine and DTaP-IPV-Hib vaccine by injection sites(χ2=13.63,P=0.001;χ2=78.48, P<0.001); the reporting rate on the thigh was lower than that on the hip or upper arm. Among the 1 501 reported adverse ...

    Abstract ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of the varicella vaccine immunization strategy in Shanghai, and to provide evidence for enhancing prevention and control measures by analyzing the incidence and trends of varicella in Songjiang District, Shanghai from 2013 to 2021.MethodsA descriptive analysis was conducted on 12 417 varicella cases reported in Songjiang District between 2013 and 2021. The epidemiological distribution of varicella cases was described, and the incidence rates were compared among different demographic variables, including registered residence, gender, age, and occupation.ResultsA total of 12 417 varicella cases were reported in Songjiang District from 2013 to 2021,with an average annual incidence of 77.03/105. The incidence of varicella showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2017 (χ2trend=19.39, P<0.001), followed by a subsequent decrease from 2017 to 2021(χ2trend=758.62, P<0.001). Varicella cases demonstrated significant seasonal variation, with peak incidences occurring in April to May and November to January of the following year. The incidence rate among local residents was higher than that among non-local residents (χ2=2 935.58, P<0.001). Most (38.59%) of the cases were students aged between 5 and 9 years old, accounting for 23.45% of the total cases. However, the age distribution of cases varied over the years (χ2=615.57, P<0.001), and the incidence among children aged 5 to 9 years showed a declining trend since 2017.ConclusionThe overall incidence of varicella in Songjiang District exhibites a declining trend in recent years. Although varicella primarily affects children, there have notable changes in the age distribution. Adjustment of the immunization strategy for varicella vaccines in Shanghai effectively reduces the proportion of school-age subjects.

    Abstract Background: Pancreatic β-cell dysfunction is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) plays an important role in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. However, the detailed mechanisms remain largely unknown.
    Methods: RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence assays were used to evaluate PRMT1 and miR-574-3p levels. Cell Counting Kit-8, Advanced Dlycation End products (AGEs), Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion were assayed, and flow cytometry and RT-qPCR were performed to detect the role of PRMT1 and miR-574-3p in MIN6 cells. Luciferase reporter assays were performed to determine the interactions between PRMT1 and miR-574-3p.
    Results: High-glucose treatment resulted in the high expression of PRMT1. PRMT1 silencing could alleviate the reduced proliferation, insulin secretion, and GLUT1 level, in addition to suppressing the induced apoptosis, and AGEs and ROS levels, under high glucose conditions. MiR-574-3p was established as an upstream regulator of PRMT1 using luciferase reporter assays. More importantly, miR-574-3p reversed the effect of PRMT1 silencing in MIN6 cells.
    Conclusions: miR-574-3p suppresses glucose toxicity-induced pancreatic β-cell dysfunction by targeting PRMT1.

    Abstract Global health and economy are deeply influenced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its newly emerging variants. Nanobodies with nanometer-scale size are promising for the detection and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants because they are superior to conventional antibodies in terms of cryptic epitope accessibility, tissue penetration, cost, formatting adaptability, and especially protein stability, which enables their aerosolized specific delivery to lung tissues. This review summarizes the progress in the prevention, detection, and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 using nanobodies, as well as strategies to combat the evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants. Generally, highly efficient generation of potent broad-spectrum nanobodies targeting conserved epitopes or further construction of multivalent formats targeting non-overlapping epitopes can promote neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants and suppress immune escape.

    Abstract Asthma is an inflammatory disease characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, airway remodeling, and airway inflammation. In recent years, the prevalence of asthma has been increasing steadily and the pathogenesis of asthma varies from person to person. Due to poor compliance or resistance, existing drugs cannot achieve the desired therapeutic effect. Therefore, developing or screening asthma therapeutic drugs with high curative effects, low toxicity, and strong specificity is very urgent. Duloxetine HCl (DUX) is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and it was mainly used to treat depression, osteoarthritis, and neuropathic pain. It was also reported that DUX has potential anti-infection, anti-inflammation, analgesic, antioxidative, and other pharmacological effects. However, whether DUX has some effects on asthma remains unknown. In order to investigate it, a series of ex vivo and in vivo experiments, including biological tension tests, patch clamp, histopathological analysis, lung function detection, oxidative stress enzyme activity detection, and molecular biology experiments, were designed in this study. We found that DUX can not only relax high potassium or ACh precontracted tracheal smooth muscle by regulating L-type voltage-dependent Ca

    Abstract Background: Delirium is a frequently encountered complication, which is associated with increased mortality. Suvorexant, an approved agent for the treatment of insomnia, is recently suggested to be also effective for prevention of delirium by some authors. However, a consensus has yet to be reached. The goal of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to overall estimate the effectiveness of suvorexant in preventing delirium and its related consequences.
    Methods: Eligible studies were identified by searching online databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library. The pooled OR was calculated for binary outcomes (e.g., the incidence of delirium, mortality, or adverse events), while standardized mean difference (SMD) were expressed for continuous outcomes (e.g., time to delirium onset, length of stay in hospital and ICU, time on ventilation).
    Results: Seven studies which comprised 402 suvorexant treatment patients and 487 patients with control treatment were included in this meta-analysis. Overall, pooled analysis indicated the incidence of delirium could be significantly reduced (OR, 0.30; P < .001) and time to delirium onset was significantly lengthened (SMD, 0.44; P = .006) in patients undergoing suvorexant treatment compared with controls. Suvorexant had no beneficial effects on the secondary outcomes [length of stay in hospital (SMD, -0.65; P = .161) and ICU (SMD, 0.34; P = .297), time on ventilation (SMD, 1.09; P = .318), drug-related adverse events (OR, drug-related adverse events (OR, 1.66; P = .319) and mortality (OR, 2.21; P = .261)]. Subgroup analysis also confirmed the benefit of suvorexant on the development of delirium, which was significant in any subgroup.
    Conclusion: Suvorexant should be recommended for the prevention of delirium in clinic.

    Abstract Background: Nursing performance is closely related to the success of hospital and patient outcome. Recently, the proportion of male nurses has gradually increased. However, we do not know how these male nurses perform in clinical work. The purpose of this study was to understand the job performance of male nurses in China and to identify their risk factors.
    Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We contacted all the 30 public tertiary hospitals in Hunan Province and 26 of them cooperated. All the 647 male nurses in these hospitals were given questionnaires face-to-face between April 7 and August 8, 2020. The questionnaire included demographic information and the Schwirian's Six Dimension Scale. We also collected the family attitude and the main reason for choosing nursing. We then performed descriptive analyses and liner regressions on the collected data.
    Results: We obtained valid questionnaires from 599 individuals. The median age of these male nurses was 26 years old and the nursing age was 4 years. They were mainly distributed in intensive care unit (ICU) (36.12%), operating room (27.42%), and emergency department (23.08%). And the means of the total scores for work performance was 176.42 (standard deviation (SD) = 20.62). The result of the regression shows that length of service, relationship status, educational level, department, main reason for choosing nursing, and family attitude are all risk factors of male nurses' work performance.
    Conclusion: Chinese male nurses are younger and have shorter working years. They mainly work in departments with higher work intensity and greater pressure. In addition, we found that years of service, education, marital status, department and main reasons for choosing nursing as factors influencing the job performance of male nurses.
