ObjectiveTo understand the epidemic characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases (NIDs) other than coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Shanghai in 2020, and to provide evidence for formulating infectious disease prevention and control strategies. MethodsData of NIDs reported in Shanghai from 2015 to 2020 were collected through the National Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the incidence and prevalence characteristics of NIDs in Shanghai in 2020, and compared them with the average values of 2015 to 2019. ResultsA total of 45 574 cases of 23 kinds of NIDs were reported in Shanghai in 2020, except for COVID-19, with an incidence of 187.69/105, and a decrease rate of 50.58% compared with the average value of 2015 to 2019. The incidence of category B and C infectious diseases decreased by 38.07% and 57.47%, respectively (All P<0.001). The top 3 reported infectious diseases with the highest incidence rate were influenza (64.58/105), syphilis (39.09/105) and tuberculosis (24.90/105). The incidence of most infectious diseases decreased compared with the average of 2015 to 2019, among which measles (97.15%), rubella (88.81%), pertussis (87.43%), hand foot mouth disease (85.99%) and scarlet fever (79.84%) decreased significantly (all P<0.001). In general, compared with the average from 2015 to 2019, respiratory infectious diseases declined most, followed by intestinal infectious diseases, insect-borne and natural focal infectious diseases, blood-borne and sexually transmitted diseases. Districts with higher incidence in 2020 were Fengxian District (310.23/105), Xuhui District (271.93/105) and Hongkou District (254.38/105). Respiratory infectious diseases in Fengxian District, intestinal infectious diseases in Jinshan District, blood-borne and sexually transmitted infectious diseases in Changning District, and insect-borne and natural focal infectious diseases in Yangpu District showed the highest incidence rate. Incidence of infectious diseases in 16 districts of Shanghai decreased with different degrees (all P<0.001). Incidence of infectious diseases in males (209.44/105) was higher than that in females (164.89/105) (χ2=624.864, P<0.001). Children aged 0-9 years had the highest incidence of respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases. People aged 70‒79 years and 20‒29 years had higher incidence of blood-borne and sexually transmitted infectious diseases, and people aged 20‒29 years had the highest incidence of insect-borne and natural focal infectious diseases. Majority of the patients were students (8 327 cases, 18.27%), retired people (6 393 cases, 14.03%) and unemployed household workers (5 988 cases, 13.14%). ConclusionUnder the COVID-19 prevention and control policies, the incidence of most NIDs in Shanghai decreased significantly in 2020.

Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing in patients with retinal detachment undergoing surgery.Methods:From February 2020 to August 2021, 40 patients with retinal detachment who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Geriatrics and Ophthalmology of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected as the research object by the convenient sampling method. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group, 20 cases in each. The patients in the control group were given routine nursing, and the patients in the observation group received narrative nursing on this basis. Before and after the intervention, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) , Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) , Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH) , and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) were used to investigate the two groups of patients. The hospitalization time and complications of the two groups of patients were recorded.Results:At discharge, the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, the GQOLI-74 and MUNSH scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The hospitalization time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the number of cases of postoperative intraocular hypertension between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Narrative nursing can effectively relieve anxiety and depression in patients with retinal detachment surgery, improve patients' well-being and quality of life, and shorten hospitalization time.

Objective:To develop a convolutional neural network based model for assisting pathological diagnoses on thyroid liquid-based cytology specimens.Methods:Seven-hundred thyroid TCT slides were collected, scanned for whole slide imaging (WSI), and divided into training and test sets after labeling the correct diagnosis (benign versus malignant). The extracted regions of interest after noise filtering were cropped into pieces of 512 × 512 patch on 10 × and 40 × magnifications, respectively. A classification model was constructed using deeply learning algorithms, and applied to the training set, then automatically tuned in the test set. After data enhancement and parameters optimization, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the model were calculated. Results The training set with 560 WSI contained 4 926 cell clusters (11 164 patches), while the test set with 140 WSI contained 977 cell clusters (1 402 patches). YOLO network was selected to establish a detection model, and ResNet50 was used as a classification model. With 40 epochs training, results from 10× magnifications showed an accuracy of 90.01%, sensitivity of 89.31%, specificity of 92.51%, positive predictive value of 97.70% and negative predictive value of 70.82%. The area under curve was 0.97. The average diagnostic time was less than 1 second. Although the model for data of 40× magnifications was very sensitive (98.72%), but its specificity was poor, suggesting that the model was more reliable at 10× magnification. Conclusions:The performance of a deep-learning based model is equivalent to pathologists′ diagnostic performance, but its efficiency is far beyond. The model can greatly improve consistency and efficiency, and reduce the missed diagnosis rate. In the future, larger studies should have more morphology diversity, improve model′s accuracy and eventually develop a model for direct clinical use.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex human disease, involving multiple genes and their nonlinear interactions, which often act in a modular fashion. Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiling provides an effective technique to unravel these underlying genetic interplays or their functional involvements for CAD. This study aimed to identify the susceptible pathways and modules for CAD based on SNP omics. First, the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) SNP datasets of CAD and control samples were used to assess the joint effect of multiple genetic variants at the pathway level, using logistic kernel machine regression model. Then, an expanded genetic network was constructed by integrating statistical gene–gene interactions involved in these susceptible pathways with their protein–protein interaction (PPI) knowledge. Finally, risk functional modules were identified by decomposition of the network. Of 276 KEGG pathways analyzed, 6 pathways were found to have a significant effect on CAD. Other than glycerolipid metabolism, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, and cardiac muscle contraction pathways, three pathways related to other diseases were also revealed, including Alzheimer’s disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and Huntington’s disease. A genetic epistatic network of 95 genes was further constructed using the abovementioned integrative approach. Of 10 functional modules derived from the network, 6 have been annotated to phospholipase C activity and cell adhesion molecule binding, which also have known functional involvement in Alzheimer’s disease. These findings indicate an overlap of the underlying molecular mechanisms between CAD and Alzheimer’s disease, thus providing new insights into the molecular basis for CAD and its molecular relationships with other diseases.
