ABSTRACT
The improvement in the agricultural production through continuous and heavy nutrient input like nitrogen fertilizer under the upland red soil of south China deteriorates soil quality, and this practice in the future could threaten future food production and cause serious environmental problems in China. This research is initiated with the objectives of evaluating the impacts of long-term chemical nitrogen fertilization on soil quality, crop yield, and greenhouse gas emissions, with insights into post-lime application responses. Compared to sole application of chemical nitrogen fertilization, combined application with lime increased soil indicators (pH by 6.30 %-7.76 %, Ca2+ by 90.06 %-252.77 %, Mg2+ by 184.47 %-358.05 %, available P by 5.05 %-30.04 %, and soil alkali hydrolysable N by 23.49 %-41.55 %. Combined application of chemical nitrogen fertilization with lime (NPCa (0.59), NPKCa (0.61), and NKCa (0.27) significantly improved soil quality index compared to the sole application of chemical nitrogen fertilization (NP (0.31), NPK (0.36), and NK (0.16). Compared to sole application of chemical nitrogen fertilization, combined application with lime increased grain yield by 48.36 %-61.49 %. Structural equation modeling elucidated that combined application of chemical nitrogen fertilization and lime improved wheat grain yield by improving soil quality. Exchangeable Ca2+, exchangeable Mg2+, pH, and exchangeable Al3+ were the most influential factors of wheat grain yield. Overall, the combined application of chemical nitrogen fertilization and lime decreased global warming potential (calculated from N2O and CO2) by 16.92 % emissions compared to the sole application of chemical nitrogen fertilization. Therefore, liming acidic soil in upland red soil of South China is a promising management option for improved soil quality, wheat grain yield, and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the influencing factors of unplanned extubation(UE)occurrence of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)in the patients with hematological diseases.Methods A retro-spective cohort study method was adopted.The data of 7 298 patients with hematological diseases implanted with PICC catheter and followed up to its removal from January 1,2016 to December 31,2020 in the Hematol-ogy Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were collected,including the demographic information,catheterization records,maintenance and extubation records.According to whether UE occurring,they were divided into the UE group(n=262)and normal extubation group(n=7 036).The general data were com-pared between the two groups.The COX regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of UE in pa-tients with hematological diseases.The dose-effect relationship between age and PICC UE occurrence risk was studied by the restrictive cubic spline method.Results The incidence rate of UE was 3.6％(262/7 298).The COX regression analysis results showed that the gender,disease diagnosis,fibrinogen,prothrombin time,PLT,catheter material,number of punctures during catheterization,positioning method of catheter tip,num-ber of catheter-related complications occurrence were related to PICC UE occurrence in the patients with he-matological diseases(P＜0.05).The results of restricted cubic spline showed that there was a"U"-type non-linear relationship between age and UE risk(X2=17.710,P＜0.05),and the risk of UE was the lowest when the age was 30 years old.Conclusion In PICC,the emphasis should be paid to the male patients with hemato-logical malignancies who have repeated punctures during catheterization,no intracardiac electrocardiographic positioning during catheterization,bleeding tendency,indwelling polyurethane catheters and repeated catheter-related complications in order to decrease the UC occurrence probability.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of care preparedness in primary caregivers of children with acute leukemia, so as to provide theoretical basis for targeted nursing intervention plans in the future.Methods:A total of 160 primary caregivers of children with acute leukemia in Hematology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences recruited by convenient sampling were investigated by the general data questionnaire, the Preparedness for Caregiving Scale, the Herth Hope Index, the Family Caregiver Task Inventory and the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Family Member Form. Descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Spearman rank correlation and multiple stepwise liner regression were used for statistical analysis. Results:One hundred and fifty-nine questionnaires were effectively collected, including 13 males and 146 females, aged (34.61 ± 8.60) years old. The total score of care preparedness, hope, uncertainty in illness, care ability for caregivers were (26.47 ± 7.53), (37.72 ± 4.11), (61.96 ± 17.02), (15.06 ± 12.94) points. The total score of care preparedness for caregivers was negatively correlated with the score of uncertainty in illness( r=-0.300, P<0.05), and positively correlated with the hope and care ability of main caregivers ( r=0.166, 0.254, both P<0.05). Caregivers′ uncertainty in illness, caregiver gender, availability of other caregivers, caregivers′ hope entered the multiple stepwise regression equation, which could explain 20.4% of the total variation of resilience. Conclusions:The preparation of the primary caregivers for children with acute leukemia is at a medium level. The primary caregivers who are male, who have insufficient knowledge of the disease, who have no co-caregivers, and who have low hope level should be focused on in clinical practice. Pertinent measures should be taken to improve care preparedness and care quality.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the possible mechanism of Xiebaisan in protecting against allergic asthma in rats from the perspective of host intestinal flora metabolism.Methods SPF SD rats were divided into normal group(NC group),model group(M group),and Xiebaisan group.The allergic asthma rat model was established by ovalbumin.Changes in lung histopathology were observed by HE staining.Colon contents were harvested for 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing to assess changes in the intestinal flora structure and function.Serum and lung tissue samples were collected for non-targeted metabolomics by Ultra-high performance liquid-time-of-flight mass spectrometer.Results HE staining showed some improvement of lung histomorphology in asthmatic rats in the Xiebaisan group compared with that in the M group.16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing showed that the diversity of intestinal flora was decreased in the M group and increased in the Xiebaisan group compared with the M group,the microecosystem of intestinal was improved.Non-targeted metabolomics of serum showed regulation of amino acid metabolism and the mTOR pathway in the Xiebaisan group,and partially reversed differential metabolite expression in the M group.Non-targeted metabonomics of lung tissue samples showed regulation of carbon metabolism,vascular smooth muscle and cAMP signaling pathways in the Xiebaisan group,and partially reversed differential metabolite expression in the M group.Conclusions The protective effects of Xiebaisan on allergic asthma in rats may be related to improvement of the morphological structure of lung tissue,the diversity of intestinal flora,and regulation of mTOR,vascular smooth muscle contraction,and cAMP pathways,which affect amino acid and carbon metabolism.
ABSTRACT
A sesquiterpene natural substance called artemisinin was discovered in Artemisia annua. One of its derivatives， artesunate （ART）， has the properties of economy， immediate effect， low toxicity， and good tolerance. Since it has a quick and powerful killing effect on plasmodium in the erythrocyte phase and can quickly handle clinical seizure and symptoms， it is currently mostly utilized to treat cerebral malaria and other severe instances of malaria. In addition， it has antitumor， antivirus， anti-hepatic fibrosis， anti-inflammatory， antibacterial， hepatocyte protection， immunological modulation， and other pharmacological properties and can inhibit cell proliferation， induce cell apoptosis， and reduce the incidence of sepsis. In many countries， artemisinin-based combination therapies （ACTs）， such as artemether-benflumetol， artesunate-amodiaquine， and artemether-lumefantrine， are the first-line treatments for malaria. Recent research on artesunate by Chinese and international scholars has revealed that compared with monotherapy， artesunate combination therapy offers more benefits in terms of improving pharmacological effects， shortening the duration of medicine， and minimizing adverse effects. Through systematic retrieval of Web of Science Core Collection and integration through CiteSpace （6.2.1） software， this article reviewed the mechanism of artesunate combined with other medications with regard to antimalarial， antitumor， antibacterial， and antiviral features in the previous five years， so as to provide some theoretical basis for rational development and utilization of ART and new drug research and development.
ABSTRACT
One under-studied microelement, manganese (Mn), due to its potential to considerably interact, and limit labile, and moderately-labile soil phosphorus (P) pools, was studied in Nanchang (NC), and Qiyang (QY) under paddy conditions. The Hedley's P sequential fractionation procedure was utilized to extract, and quantify various P fractions at both surface (0-20 cm) and subsurface (20-40 cm) layers. Unfertilized control (CK), nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK), and NPK amended with animal manure (NPKM) were used as treatments. From both sites, the manure amended fertilizer (NPKM) compared to chemical NPK formed higher proportions of macro-aggregates (>2 and 2-0.25 mm) in both layers. Total P (TP) values of 842.1 (>2 mm), and 744.4 mg kg-1 (2-0.25 mm) from NC, and QY, respectively were accumulated by NPKM compared to NPK, and CK. Total P values of 806.4, and 350.4 mg kg-1 in the >2 mm aggregate size, respectively for NC, and QY were observed in the subsurface layer. Inorganic moderately labile P (NaOH-Pi) was the dominant fraction under all fertilizer treatments. Concentrations of 232.3 (<0.053 mm), and 202.1 mg kg-1 (0.25-0.053 mm) of NaOH-Pi were accumulated by NPKM, respectively for NC, and QY in the surface layer. In the subsurface layer, concentrations of NaOH-Pi (217.5 mg kg-1; <0.053 mm) from NC, and residual-P (57.3 mg kg-1; >2 mm) from QY were accumulated by NPKM. Similarly, NPKM in contrast to NPK contributed higher Mehlich-3 manganese (M3-Mn) oxide in all aggregate sizes from both sites. Generally, macro-aggregates contributed higher TP, fractions of P, and M3-Mn oxide than micro-aggregates. There was a positive relationship between P pools and M3-Mn oxide at both sites. Additions of animal manure were associated with increased P fractions, and Mn oxides in the paddy soil aggregates, which raises environmental concern.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in some regions of China. Methods Serum samples were collected from 3 131 patients with chronic HBV infection in 10 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions of China from March 2021 to June 2022, and anti-HDV IgG ELISA was used for the detection of all serum samples. Nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (nRT-PCR) was used to detect HDV RNA in anti-HDV IgG-positive samples, and the nRT-PCR amplification products of HDV RNA-positive samples were sequenced and analyzed to determine HDV genotype. The clinical features of anti-HDV IgG-positive patients were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Results The positive rate of anti-HDV IgG in the 3 131 patients with chronic HBV infection was 0.70% (22/3 131), and that in the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Beijing, and Hunan Province was 1.81% (16/886), 0.88% (2/226), 0.28% (2/708), and 1.00% (2/200), respectively; the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region had a significantly higher positive rate of anti-HDV IgG than those in Beijing ( P =0.004), and there was no significant difference between the other regions ( P > 0.05). Clinical features of the patients with chronic HBV infection in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region showed that compared with the anti-HDV IgG-negative group, the anti-HDV IgG-positive group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with Mongol nationality ( P =0.001), abnormal alanine aminotransferase ( P =0.007), or antiviral treatment ( P =0.029), as well as a significantly lower median HBV DNA level ( P =0.030). A total of 19 HDV RNA-positive samples were identified, all of which had HDV genotype 1. Conclusion The prevalence rate of HDV varies greatly across different regions of China, with a higher prevalence rate of HDV in patients with chronic HBV infection from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. HDV genotype 1 is the predominant genotype in some provinces and cities of northern China.
ABSTRACT
Inflammation， the basic pathological process of many diseases， can occur in various tissues and organs of the body and cause many diseases including cancer. So far， there are thousands of anti-inflammatory drugs on the market， but most of these drugs have adverse reactions of gastrointestinal injury， and can even cause greater damage to the body. In recent years， the research on the repurpose of Chinese medicine is in the ascendant， and the innovative research on the specific antimalarial drug artemisinin has attracted extensive attention from scholars in China and abroad. Artesunate is a water-soluble derivative of artemisinin， which has the characteristics of quick effect and low toxicity. In addition to its significant therapeutic effect on malaria， artesunate also has a potential anti-inflammatory effect. In this review， the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of artesunate were elaborated in detail by consulting the relevant literature. It was found that artesunate had good anti-inflammatory effects in the respiratory system， liver injury， osteoarthritis， dermatitis， kidney inflammation， colitis， neuroinflammation， and even in novel coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19）. It was concluded that artesunate mainly participated in apoptotic signal transduction， mediated immune regulation， and improved oxidative stress to play an anti-inflammatory role by acting on nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 （TRAF6）， high mobility group box 1 （HMGB1）/receptor for advanced glycation endproduct （RAGE）， and other pathways. Through the review of the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of artesunate， it is expected to provide a reference for the application of artesunate in inflammation resistance and further development and utilization of artesunate in the future.
ABSTRACT
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common microvascular complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)，which is also the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the treatment methods are limited at present. More and more evidences have indicated that inflammatory response is involved in the pathogenesis and progression of DN. Several anti-inflammatory strategies that target specific inflammatory mediators (transcription factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules) and intracellular signaling pathways have shown benefits in the DN rodent model. The mechanisms related to inflammation in the development and progression of DN were summarized and new strategies to prevent or treat DN based on inflammation were briefly discussed in this review.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the structural features of vaginal microbiota in the early threatened abortion patients with the syndrome of kidney deficiency. MethodThirty-one patients with early threatened abortion of kidney deficiency syndrome （DK-TA group） and 116 women with normal early pregnancy （NP group） attending the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from May 2018 to December 2020 were selected. The vaginal secretions were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing， which can reveal the vaginal microbiota composition and differential bacteria between the two groups. ResultThe DK-TA group had higher abundance and diversity of vaginal microbiota than the NP group. The Binary jaccard and unweighted_unifrac distance matrix analysis showed that the similarity， dispersion， abundance， and phylogenetic relationship of vaginal microbiota were significantly different between the two groups. At the phylum level， the DK-TA group had lower relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria and higher relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Gemmatimonadetes than the NP group. At the genus level， the DK-TA group had lower relative abundance of Sneathia and Bifidobacterium and higher relative abundance of Escherichia-Shigella and Shuttleworthia than the NP group. Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size（LEfSe）revealed that Bacteroidetes， Fusobacteria， and Bifidobacteria were dominant in the NP group and Proteobacteria and Firmicutes in the DK-TA group. The function prediction found that DK-TA was closely associated with 38 functional pathways， including cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway and regulation of tryptophan channels by inflammatory mediators. In addition， the vaginal differential bacteria between the two groups had significant positive or negative association with the differential metabolic pathways. ConclusionProteobacteria， Gemmatimonadetes， and Bacteroidetes in the vaginal microbiota may be biomarkers for threatened abortion of kidney deficiency syndrome.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Dried blood spot (DBS) is one of promising home sampling methods for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). However, the associated reliability and feasibility (including yield, adherence, and preference), which are criteria for the promotion of home-based DBS, remain unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the reliability and feasibility of TDM using DBS sampling. METHODS: In this study, a combination of MeSH and free terms for (dried blood spot*[title/abstract])AND ("Drug Monitoring"[Mesh])AND(home OR venous)was surveyed using EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science upon gathering published. we registered this study protocol with the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021247559). RESULTS: Approximately half (35/75) of the evaluations reported good agreement between DBS and plasma, and the results for drugs with poor agreement may be improved using a haematocrit-based physiological equation. The yield and adherence to home-based DBS exceeded 87%, and questionnaire-based preference for DBS was 77%. CONCLUSIONS: DBS may be a reliable and feasible home sampling method; however, it requires intricate design and evaluation before implementation.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mediating role of self-perceptions of aging between frailty and cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults.Methods:From February to July 2021, a total of 528 elderly people in Xinxiang community were investigated with the frailty phenotype, the brief self-perceptions ageing questionnaire and the Mini-mental state examination(MMSE) scale.According to the MMSE total score and education level, the subjects were divided into cognitive impairment group (illiteracy≤17, primary school≤20, junior high school and above≤24, n=74) and cognitive normal group( n=454). SPSS 25.0 software was used for common method deviation test, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, while AMOS 24.0 software was used to build structural equation model and Bootstrap method was used for intermediary effect test. Results:(1)The prevalence of cognitive impairment among the elderly in the community was 14.1%. The differences between the cognitively normal group and cognitively impaired group were statistically significant in terms of age, education, number of chronic diseases suffered and depression ( χ2=59.21, 6.53, 9.84, 25.47, all P<0.05). The differences were statistically significant in terms of frailty( χ2=75.65, P<0.001) and self-perceptions of aging ( t=77.67, P<0.001). (2)Self-perceptions of aging in the cognitively impaired group (47.39±8.66) was higher than that in the cognitively normal group (38.22±8.24) ( t=77.67, P<0.001) .Frailty score in cognitively impaired group (2.00 (1.00, 3.00)) was higher than that in the cognitively normal group (0.00 (0.00, 1.00))( Z=-8.63, P<0.001) . (3)Frailty was negatively correlated with cognitive function ( r=-0.492, P<0.01), and positively correlated with self-perceptions of aging ( r=0.540, P<0.01). Self-perceptions of aging was negatively correlated with cognitive function ( r=-0.541, P<0.01) . After controlling the influencing factors such as age, education level, chronic diseases and depression, the correlation was still significant (all P<0.01) . (4) Self-perceptions of aging played a partially mediating role in the relationship between frailty and cognitive function, the mediating effect accounted for 58.5% of the total effect. Conclusion:Frailty and self-perceptions of aging have a significant impact on the cognitive function of the elderly in the community, and self-perceptions of aging plays a partial intermediary role between the frailty and cognitive function of the elderly in the community.

ABSTRACT
Metabolic homeostasis is a basic function necessary for the survival of the organism. α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an acute phase protein with a glycosylation degree of up to 45%. It has high affinity and low capacity. Although the biological role of AGP is not fully understood, it has been proven that it can regulate immunity and metabolism, and play an important role in transporting drugs and maintaining capillary barrier function. In this review, the structural characteristics, biochemical characteristics and the regulation of AGP expression were reviewed, with emphasis on the regulatory role of AGP in metabolism, suggesting that AGP may be a potential key factor in metabolic pathways, which provides a new research direction for metabolic diseases.
