Objective:To master the current situation of prevention and control of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Shandong Province, and to provide basic data for control and evaluation of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis.Methods:From June to December 2019, in accordance with the requirements of the "National Drinking Water-Borne Fluorosis Monitoring Program (2019 Edition)" and "Shandong Province Drinking Water-Borne Fluorosis Monitoring Program (2019 Edition)", cross-sectional survey method was used to monitor the operation of the water supply projects, the fluorine content in drinking water, and the condition of children with dental fluorosis in all the disease affected villages of the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis counties (cities, districts) in 16 cities of Shandong Province. Water fluorine was detected by "Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water-Nonmetal Parameters" (GB/T 5750.5-2006), and in accordance with the "Standards for Drinking Water Quality" (GB 5749-2006), the water fluorine content was judged to be qualified or not. The examination and determination of dental fluorosis in children adopted "Diagnosis of Dental Fluorosis" (WS/T 208-2011), and the detection rate of dental fluorosis was calculated, the detection rates of dental fluorosis were compared between water improvement villages and villages without water improvement, qualified water fluorine and unqualified water fluorine villages.Results:There were 9 475 drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis villages in 105 counties (cities, districts) in Shandong Province, of which 9 370 were water improvement villages, and the water improvement rate was 98.89%. Among all the water improvement villages, there were 9 318 projects in normal operation, 45 intermittent projects and 7 scrapped projects. Among all the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis villages, 8 254 villages were qualified in water fluorine, and the qualified rate of water fluorine was 87.11% (8 254/9 475); among water improvement villages, 8 210 villages were qualified in water fluorine, and the qualified rate of water fluorine was 87.62% (8 210/9 370); among the villages without water improvement, 44 villages were qualified in water fluorine, and the qualified rate of water fluorine was 41.90% (44/105). The qualified rate of water fluorine in water improvement village was significantly higher than that in villages without water improvement (χ 2 = 193.31, P < 0.05). The detection rates of dental fluorosis in children in water improvement villages and villages without water improvement were 8.92% (25 624/287 405) and 12.70% (271/2 134), respectively, and the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children in villages without water improvement was higher than that in water improvement villages (χ 2 = 37.23, P < 0.05). The detection rates of dental fluorosis in children in qualified water fluorine and unqualified water fluorine villages were 7.98% (20 200/253 082) and 15.62% (5 695/36 457), respectively, and the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children in unqualified water fluorine villages was higher than that in qualified water fluorine villages (χ 2 = 2 283.76, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Water improvement and fluorine reduction measures have been implemented in most drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis villages in Shandong Province, the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children in water improvement villages is lower than that in villages without water improvement. However, attention should be paid to the situation of water fluorine exceeding the standard and later management and maintenance to prevent the rebound of the disease.

Objective To analyze CT manifestation of Schistosoma haematobium cystitis.Methods Retrospective analysis 32 patients,who were tested for Schistosoma haematobium cystitis using the urine filtration method.CT scan was performed for each patient with contrast enhancement.Results The vast majority of urinary tract schistomiasis lesions were in the urinary bladder.Calcification of the bladder wall was observed in all patients and mild enhancement in non calcified zone was found after intravenous contrast.Except for 5 patients of bladder cancer,the rest were no abnormality in size of bladder when bladder was filling or emptying.Ureteral wall annular calcification could also be identified in 25 patients.Twenty two patients were companied with ureteric hydronephrosis.Seminal vesicle calcification was seen in 4 patients among 11 male patients,while both uterine and ovarian in female and prostate in men had non calcification.Serious illness can be combined with bladder cancer.In 5 patients of patients with bladder cancer,bladder showed irregular soft tissue mass which was enhanced moderately after post-contrast scan,with vesical calcification in mass medially.Conclusion Bladder calcification is the most prominent CT feature of Schistosoma haematobium cystitis,which is useful in diagnosis the disease.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT)in the screening of coronary artery lesions in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods MSCT and coronary angiography(CAG)were performed in 136 elderly patients(68 patients with diabetes and 68 patients without diabetes).The number of diseased coronary segments and the plaque type (noncalcified,mixed and calcified)for each patient were determined.The characteristics of coronary lesions were compared between patients with and without diabetes.The sensitivity and specificity of MSCT were evaluated.Results More noncalcified and calcified plaques and few ermixed plaques were observed in patients with diabetes,compared with patients without diabetes(noncalcified plagues:10 cases or 14.7% vs.4 cases or 5.9%;calcified plagues:47 cases or 69.1% vs.39 cases or 57.4%)(P< 0.05).In addition,diabetic patients showed a significantly higher frequency of multivessel disease(P<0.05).Furthermore,MSCT was able to clearly show stenosis and plaque type in the trunk and branches of the coronary artery,with a sensitivity of 91.0%,a specificity of 95.0%,a positive predictive value of 93% and a negative predictive value of 96.0%.Conclusions Diabetes is associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease.MSCT can effectively detect the characteristics of coronary artery disease in diabetic patients and is an effective,noninvasive,and safe screening method.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)on pain intensity,pain sensation and overall survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods:Clinical data of advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated by HIFU were collected from the patients enrolled during August 2020 to September 2022 at the second department for oncology of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.In this study,SPSS 26.0 software was used for the statistical analysis of NRS score and BPI score.The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis method was applied to calculate the median overall survival(OS)and then the survival curve was drawn.At the same time,the incidence of related adverse reactions during and after HIFU treatment was counted. Results:(1)Among the 45 patients,30 patients received HIFU combined with chemotherapy,and the other 15 patients only received HIFU.(2)Among the 45 patients,32 patients had pain relief after HIFU treatment,and the NRS score kept decreased across 1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 1 month after HIFU treatment(P<0.05).The pain sensation score of BPI scale also decreased correspondingly,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)The median OS of 45 patients was 11.1 months(95%Cl:9.30-1 2.90),of which 30 patients treated with HIFU combined chemotherapy had a median OS of 12.4 months(95%Cl:9.1 8-15.62),and 15 patients treated with HIFU only had a median OS of 4.6 months(95%Cl:1.11-8.10).(4)No serious adverse events were observed in all patients during and after HIFU treatment.Only 5 patients had asymptomatic mild elevation of blood amylase,and the incidence of mild adverse reactions was 11.1%. Conclusion:HIFU can effectively relieve pain and prolong the median survival time in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
