ObjectiveTo understand the mortality trends among residents of Fuling District， Chongqing， before and after theCOVID-19 outbreak， and to provide references for the government to formulate disease prevention and control policies and measures. MethodsData on mortality and population in Fuling District from 2017 to 2022 were collected to analyze population mortality and standardized mortality rates， and to compare the changes in the causes of death by year and before and after the pandemic. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2022， the crude mortality rate in Fuling District showed an upward trend （APC=3.04%， P<0.05）， while the standardized mortality rate showed a downward trend （APC=-6.47%， P<0.01）. The mortality rate of males was higher than that of females （P<0.05）， with different age groups having different causes of death composition. The highest proportion of deaths in 0-year-old group was from infectious diseases， maternal and neonatal diseases， and nutritional deficiencies， the highest proportion of deaths in the 1‒24 age group， with the exception of those aged 5‒9， was from injuries， and the main cause of death for residents aged 25 and above was chronic diseases. The mortality rate of mental and behavioral disorders rose from the 13th to the 9th place. According to the epidemic situation of COVID-19， there were no changes in the top five causes of death among the entire population. The motility rate of endocrine， nutritional and metabolic diseases rose from the sixth to the fifth place in male population， and the motility rate of malignant tumor rose from the 3rd to the 2nd place in female population. ConclusionThere are no changes in the top five causes of death among the entire population of Fuling District before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Chronic diseases remain the main cause of death. It is necessary to control the risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension， diabetes， and dyslipidemia， and to curb the rising trend of mortality rates from strokes and acute myocardial infarction. For deaths caused by accidental injuries， targeted health education should be conducted for different populations.

Background and purpose:Limbs soft tissue sarcoma(STS)is a common malignant tumor,and surgical resection is the main treatment method for it.The concept of barrier made us realize the blocking effect of natural barrier on STS,and we aimed to search for tissues that can act as barrier,and to perform complete resection of surgical margins around the tissue barrier.This study aimed to investigate the feasibility,safety and prognosis of barrier resection in the treatment of limbs STS.Methods:From December 2013 to September 2016,data of 72 patients who underwent barrier resection of STS of extremities in department of oncosurgery,Minhang Branch,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were retrospectively analyzed,and the resection margin was sampled.All 72 patients underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)or computed tomography(CT)design,and the physiological barrier or at least 3 cm distance was found outward from the anatomical location of the tumor.And en bloc excision was performed outside this barrier or at a distance of 3 cm.The influence of postoperative pathological margin,musculoskeletal tumor society(MSTS)score and postoperative complications on the patients were analyzed.The 1-and 3-year locoregional recurrence-free survival(LRFS)rates and sarcoma-specific survival(SSS)rates were evaluated,and the influencing factors were analyzed.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(number:1212117-12&1212117-12-1301).Results:All patients had negative margins.The 1-and 3-year LRFS rates were 98.2%and 93.3%,respectively.The 1-and 3-year SSS rates were 98.4%and 94.2%,respectively.The mean MSTS scores were 28.3 preoperatively and 25.5 postoperatively.Surgical complications were grade 1 to 2 in 20 cases and grade 3 in 1 case,and there were no grade 4 to 5 complications.Conclusion:Based on the combination of clinical,imaging and pathology data,barrier resection,including tumor resection and functional reconstruction,can be applied to the surgical treatment of STS,with good feasibility and safety,reliable margin and satisfactory local control.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation and consistency between quantitative coronary flow fraction (QFR) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in assessing myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary heart disease (CAD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of coronary heart disease patients who underwent load CMR examination and coronary angiography at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2017 to March 2022. CMR examination includes cardiac cine, load/rest myocardial perfusion imaging, and delayed enhancement sequence. According to the results of CMR examination, the patient′s left ventricular myocardial segments were divided into normal segment group and abnormal segment group (further divided into ischemic segment group and infarcted segment group). On the basis of coronary angiography, an artificial intelligence based platform (AngioPlus system) was applied to calculate the preoperative coronary artery QFR value of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention treatment. Kappa test was used to evaluate the consistency of QFR and CMR in diagnosing abnormal myocardium; Mann Whitney U test was used to compare the differences in QFR between groups; The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of QFR in diagnosing abnormal myocardium; Spearman correlation analysis was used to clarify the relationship between myocardial infarction area and QFR value of the supplying coronary artery in patients.Results:Among the 70 CAD patients enrolled, there were 60 males and 10 females, aged (54.1±11.1)years. At the vascular level, the consistency between QFR and CMR in diagnosing myocardial injury (including ischemia and infarction) is moderate (Kappa value=0.514). The sensitivity and specificity of detecting abnormal myocardial segments in CAD patients were 57% and 91%, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) value of QFR predicting abnormal myocardium in CAD patients was 0.769, and the optimal cutoff value was QFR=0.865. At this time, the sensitivity and specificity of QFR predicting myocardial injury in CAD patients were 67.2% and 84.3%, respectively. The difference in vascular QFR between the normal segment group, ischemic segment group, and infarcted segment group was statistically significant ( P<0.001), with the infarcted segment group having significantly lower QFR values than the other two groups (all P<0.01). The range of myocardial infarction was negatively correlated with the QFR value of the supplying coronary artery ( r=-0.45, P<0.001). At the patient level, the consistency between QFR and CMR in diagnosing myocardial injury (including ischemia and infarction) was moderate (Kappa value=0.445), with a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 81% for diagnosing myocardial injury in CAD patients. Conclusions:Compared with CMR, QFR has better specificity in detecting myocardial injury in CAD patients. The QFR value of the infarcted segment group is significantly lower than that of the ischemic group and the normal group. The area of myocardial infarction is negatively correlated with the QFR value of the supplying coronary artery.

Objective:To evaluate the value of 18F-FDG PET metabolic parameters in predicting histopathological grade of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Methods:From December 2012 to December 2021, 51 patients (26 males, 25 females, age range: 32-84 years) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging before treatment and confirmed STS pathologically in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were retrospectively collected. 18F-FDG PET metabolic parameters SUV max, metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and intertumoral FDG uptake heterogeneity (IFH) were measured. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to analyze the differences in metabolic parameters among different groups and Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of each metabolic parameter and histological grade. Logistic regression was used to screen and construct the prediction model for high-grade STS. ROC curve was plotted and Delong test was used to analyze the differences among AUCs. Results:The metabolic parameters SUV max, MTV, TLG and IFH were significantly different among French Federation of Cancer Centers Sarcoma Group (FNCLCC)Ⅰ( n=8), Ⅱ( n=10) and Ⅲ ( n=33) grade groups ( H values: 16.24, 10.52, 19.29 and 16.99, all P<0.05), and each metabolic parameter was positively correlated with histological grade ( rs values: 0.58, 0.45, 0.52, and 0.62, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SUV max(odds ratio ( OR)=1.27, 95% CI: 1.06-1.51, P=0.009) and IFH ( OR=6.83, 95% CI: 1.44-32.27, P=0.015) were independent risk indicators for high-grade STS. The prediction model constructed by combining SUV max and IFH had better diagnostic efficacy for differentiating high-grade STS with the AUC of 0.93, and the sensitivity of 93.9%(31/33) and the specificity of 16/18, respectively. The AUC of prediction model was significant different from SUV max, MTV, TLG and IFH (AUCs: 0.81, 0.78, 0.86 and 0.85; z values: 2.69, 2.53, 1.94 and 1.97, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The metabolic parameters SUV max, MTV, TLG and IFH are valuable predictors for histological grade of STS. The combination of SUV max and IFH may be a more meaningful method than using each of the above metabolic parameters alone.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of herpangina (HA) and its correlation with the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children aged ≤6 years in Yinzhou District of Ningbo from 2017 to 2022.Methods:Epidemiological characteristics of HA in children aged ≤6 years were analyzed based on the electronic medical record data and public health management data from 2017 to 2022 collected from the Health Information Platform of Yinzhou. The incidence of HFMD was calculated using the infectious disease reporting data from the public health management data. Autoregressive integrated moving average model and cross-correlation function were used to evaluate the correlation between the incidence of HA and HFMD.Results:From 2017 to 2022, a total of 25 385 cases of HA were detected in children aged ≤6 years in Yinzhou, the male-to-female ratio of the cases was 1.12∶1. The average annual incidence of HA was 4 986.67/100 000, with the highest incidence in 2018 (10 477.09/100 000) and the lowest incidence in 2020 (870.88/100 000). The incidence peak of HA was during June to July. The incidence of HA was higher in age group 1 year (7 950.45/100 000) than in other age groups. The incidences of HA in Yunlong, Jiangshan and Xiaying were higher, with the incidence of 8 764.31/100 000, 8 377.58/100 000 and 7 965.31/100 000, respectively. The correlation coefficients between the incidence of HA and HFMD at lag day 0, 7, 12 and 18 were 0.199, 0.139, 0.090 and 0.086, respectively (all P<0.05). Conclusions:From 2017 to 2022, the incidence of HA was high in children aged ≤6 years in Yinzhou with obvious seasonality and area difference. The incidence of HA was correlated with the incidence of HFMD and the incidence of HFMD had certain lags. The comprehensive prevention and control of HA and HFMD should be further strengthened by prioritizing HA surveillance and implementing integrated surveillance and management of HA and HFMD.
