BACKGROUND: RT-Q medical biomembrane, the novel copolymer synthesized from lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, not only possesses the advantages of hyaluronic acid, such as multiple biological functions, excellent flexibility and biocompatibility, but also has the merits of polylactic acid fragments to be easily processed and transformed to membrane when encountering water. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hemostatic effect of RT-Q medical biomembrane in rat external jugular vein hemorrhage model, and to evaluate its histocompatibility by locally applying it to rat muscle. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal trial.SETTING: Department of Pharmacology, Department of Pharmacognosy, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University.MATERIALS: 130 male Wistar rats aged 6 weeks, weighing 170-210 g, were selected. Eighty rats were used for evaluation of hemostatic effect, and the other fifty were used in biocompatibility experiment. Animal intervention met the animal ethical standard. RT-Q aerosol composed of DL-lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, α-cyanoacrylate, acetone (solvent), freon (propellant) and excipient aerosol composed of acetone and freon (propellant) (Batch number 20050311) were provided by Department of Pharmaceutics, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University.α-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive(SUNCON medical adhesive) (Batch number 20050930) was produced by Beijing Suncon Medical Adhesive Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. METHODS: Haemostatic effect: Eighty male rats were randomly divided into four groups, served as RT-Q, SUNCON (positive control), excipient group and non-treatment group (negative control), twenty in each group. After anesthesia was induced, external jugular vein of rats was exposed, and an approximately 0.6 cm incision was made to create hemorrhage. The bleeding areas were blotted by antiseptic gauze. After removing the gauze, the bleeding surfaces were immediately treated with RT-Q aerosol in the RT-Q group, excipient aerosol in the excipient group, 0.15 mL SUNCON medical adhesive in the SUNCON group, or no agent in non-treatment group, respectively. Then, injury surfaces were covered by gauze. In the non-treatment group, bleeding was left to naturally stop. Bleeding time and blood loss (gauze weight after hemostasia - that before hemostasia) were determined. Local histocompatibility: Rats were divided into A and B groups. Incision was made in rat post-leg muscle after anesthesia was induced. Left bleeding surfaces were treated with excipient aerosol, and right bleeding surfaces were treated with RT-Q aerosol in group A (n=30). The same incision as the group A was made, but no intervention was performed in the group B (n=20). Tissues were possessed and HE-stained for pathological observation under light microscope at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 23, 30 after the surgery. Effect of biomembrane on wound healing, degradation and toxicity to tissues surrounding injuries were observed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Bleeding time and blood loss in hemostatic experiment; wound healing, biodegradation and toxicity to tissues surrounding injuries in local histocompatibility experiment. RESULTS: 130 rats were involved in the result analysis. Histopathologic examination showed RT-Q membrane had no effect of promoting or delaying wound healing. Membrane formed by RT-Q aerosol began to degrade on the 15th day, absorbed completely during 3-4 weeks, and had no toxicity to surrounding tissues. Bleeding time and blood loss were reduced in the RT-Q group than in the non-treatment group and the excipient group (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the RT-Q group and the SUNCON group (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: RT-Q medical biomembrane as α-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive has significant hemostatic effects on topical bleeding, and possesses good histocompatibility.

Objective To explore the status of job burnout of medical staffs in minority border areas. Methods A total of 906 medical personnel from Pu'er hospitals in Yunnan Province were as-sessed with Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) by t test, descriptive statistics, chi-square test, ANOVA and LSD-t pairwise comparison. Results ①The emotional exhaustion, cynicism and reduced personal accomplishment of medical staffs in minority border areas (1.55±1.40, 0.99± 1.29, 2.47±1.98) are significantly lower than general areas (P=0.000, 0.010, 0.000); ②emotional ex-haustion, cynicism and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) total points of different levels of hospital medi-cal staff, the score of which in descending order are:municipal, county and township (town) levels (P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000); ③Female medical personnel's emotional exhaustion and cynicism are scored significantly higher than males medical staff (P=0.000, 0.025); ④The scores of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, reduced personal accomplishment and MBI total points of Bachelor medical staff are signifi-cantly higher than those of colleges as well as secondary schools and below (P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.012); ⑤The scores of reduced personal achievement of Lahu medical staff are higher than those of other ethnic groups (P=0.009). Conclusion In medical staffs in minority border areas there exists a certain extent of job burnout, which presents differences among genders, educational background, hos-pitals and ethnic groups.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common viral pathogen in children.EBV infection can cause childhood tumors, immune-related diseases and respiratory-related diseases.The proportion of EBV infection in Chinese children is high and the age of primary infection is early.Its pathogenesis is closely related to B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and gene defects.Clinical EBV infection is not only associated with childhood tumors and immune-related diseases, but also causes respiratory-related diseases that deserve more attention.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, is more efficient compared with Sanger sequencing that has become the standard method of clinical DNA sequencing, and can obtain a large amount of information in a relatively short time at a lower cost.NGS has broad prospects in such aspects as diagnosing the pathogen of lower respiratory tract infection in children, identifying the pathogen of cross-infection in hospital, drug resistance research and vaccine development.It is still worth conducting further studies on the approach to improve the specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis and to optimize NGS.

Objective:To explore the correlation between lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic indicators in a young and middle-aged population undergoing physical examination.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 8 250 individuals who underwent routine physical examinations at the Health Medical Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January to December 2021 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected as the research subbjects. The general examination, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, liver function, renal function, and fasting color ultrasound examination results were analyzed retrospectively to assess the correlation between lean NAFLD and major metabolic indicators using independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and multivariable logistic regression. Results:The prevalence of lean NAFLD was higher in men than in women (50.7% vs. 49.3%, χ2=97.261, P<0.001). After stratifying the age of onset of lean NAFLD, the peak age of onset was found to be between 45 and 59 years, with the prevalence gradually increasing with age. When stratified by body mass index (BMI), the peak incidence of lean NAFLD was observed in individuals with a BMI of ≥20 and <23 kg/m 2, with the prevalence showing a significant upward trend as BMI increased. The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and serum uric acid in lean NAFLD groupwere all significantly higher than those in lean non-NAFLD group (all P<0.01), and the level of high density lipoprotein was significantly lower than that of lean non-NAFLD group ( t=23.755, P<0.001). The logistic analysis showed that systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.258, 95% CI: 1.081-1.465), diastolic blood pressure ( OR=1.282, 95% CI: 1.056-1.557), total cholesterol ( OR=1.712, 95% CI: 1.525-1.923), triglyceride ( OR=4.115, 95% CI: 3.621-4.676), alanine aminotransferase ( OR=1.467, 95% CI: 1.104-1.950), γ-glutamyltransferase ( OR=1.482, 95% CI: 1.242-1.769), fasting blood glucose ( OR=2.479, 95% CI: 2.092-2.939) and serum uric acid ( OR=1.390, 95% CI: 1.236-1.563) were independent metabolic risk factors for lean NAFLD (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The levels of various metabolic markers in young and middle-aged patients with lean NAFLD increase, and the risk of lean NAFLD increases. Metabolic markers are helpful to screen people at risk of lean NAFLD.

Objective: To investigate the prospective effects of the consumption of protein and animal foods before menarche on the age at menarche among Chinese girls. Methods: This paper was based on the data collected in the China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS) from 1997 to 2015. A total of 683 girls aged 6 and over who had completed information on age at menarche, height, weight, per capita annual household income, maternal education level and participated in at least one complete dietary survey within 1 to 4 years before menarche were included. Urban-rural stratified multivariable linear regression model was used to examine the effects of protein and animal foods intake before menarche on Chinese girls age at menarche in urban and rural areas. Results: After adjusted for total energy intake, body mass index standard deviation score and per capita annual household income, the consumption of meat before menarche was negatively associated with the age at menarche among rural Chinese girls(B=-0.003, P=0.00), but not among urban Chinese girls(B=0.002, P>0.05). Total protein, dairy, eggs and aquatic products intake before menarche were not associated with Chinese girls age at menarche in urban and rural areas(B=0.002, -0.001, 0.003, 0.000; 0.001, 0.001, -0.001, -0.003, P>0.05). Conclusion Higher intake of meat before menarche might lead to earlier menarche onset in rural Chinese girls. The consumption of total protein, dairy, eggs, and aquatic products before menarche did not affect the age at menarche in Chinese girls.

Objective: To investigate the prospective effects of intake of each food group on the development of lung function of pupils,so as to provide theoretical basis for promoting the healthy development of lung function and preventing chronic respiratory diseases in Chinese children. Methods: A cluster stratified sampling method was used to select a total of 893 pupils in grades 2-5 from Chengdu in November 2021. Dietary data of respondents were collected using a food frequency questionnaire within the past year,then the food group intake was categorized into T1, T2 and T3 from low to high by the trichotomous method, and anthropometric measurements including lung capacity were obtained in 2022. Logistic regression models and test for trend were used to analyze the prospective effects of intake of each food group on lung function development of pupils. Results: Among male students, consumption of vegetables [118.6(50.5, 188.2)g/d] and milk and dairy products [200.0(73.3, 250.0)g/d] were higher in the excellent lung capacity group than in the non excellent lung capacity group [90.0(37.1, 192.9), and 178.6(35.7, 250.0)g/d],with statistically significant differences ( Z =-1.98, -2.24); among girls, the group with excellent lung capacity consumed less staple food [391.1(273.6, 511.4)g/d] than the group with non excellent lung capacity [407.4(309.5, 594.3)g/d], and the group with excellent lung capacity consumed more aquatic products [31.2(14.6, 69.8)g/d] and milk and dairy products [215.0(107.1, 250.1) g/d ] than that of the non excellent lung capacity [19.4(10.7, 58.3), 114.3(35.7, 250.0)g/d] ( Z =-2.01, -3.33, -5.10)( P < 0.05 ). After adjusting for energy, body mass index Z score(BMI Z ), mother s education level, averge family income monthly, whether presence of smokers in the living environment, and whether participation in physical activities during the past week, among male students, T3 group of vegetable intake ( OR =0.48, 95% CI = 0.27-0.86), T2 group of bean and soy product intake ( OR = 0.52 , 95% CI =0.27-0.96)，T2 and T3 groups of milk and dairy products intake (T2： OR =0.54, 95% CI =0.31-0.93; T3： OR = 0.52 , 95% CI =0.30-0.90) were negatively associated with non excellent lung capacity ( P <0.05). Among girls, T3 group of aquatic product intake( OR =0.52, 95% CI =0.28-0.97), T2 and T3 groups of milk and dairy product (T2: OR =0.44, 95% CI =0.25- 0.76 ;T3: OR =0.33, 95% CI =0.19-0.59) were negatively associated with nonexcellent lung capacity, whereas the T2 group of red meat intake ( OR =2.51, 95% CI =1.37-4.67) was positively associated with non excellent lung capacity. Non excellent lung capacity was found to be negatively associated with vegetable and milk and dairy product intake in boys by test for trend; in girls, milk and dairy products intake was negatively associated with non excellent lung capacity, whereas red meat intake was positively associated with non excellent lung capacity ( t =-1.13，-0.44；-3.03，1.95, P trend <0.05). Conclusions Milk and dariy products intakes reduce the risk of non excellent lung capacity in pupils, vegetables intakes reduce the risk of non excellent lung capacity in boys, and the intake of red meat increases the risk of non excellent lung capacity in girls. Promoting rational food choices is necessary for children to improve healthy lung development.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of postpartum embryo residues associated with uterine arteriovenous fistula.Methods:From January 2000 to December 2020, 26 cases of postpartum embryo residue complicated with uterine arteriovenous fistula in Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as the case group, and 32 cases of postpartum embryo residue without uterine arteriovenous fistula were selected as control group.Both the case group and the control group had embryo residue in cesarean scar.Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula.Results:There were 26 patients in the case group, including 3 patients after medical abortion, 17 patients after artificial abortion, 2 patients after cesarean section, and 4 patients after mid-term induced labor.There were 32 patients in the control group, including 7 patients after medical abortion, 11 patients after induced abortion, 8 patients after cesarean section, and 6 patients after mid-term induced labor.There were 11 patients in the case group and 3 patients in the control group.Univariate analysis showed that: the occurrence of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula was related to the time of vaginal bleeding, HCG value before and after treatment, hemoglobin value before treatment, platelet count and residual embryo area(all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the increase of hCG before treatment ( OR 20.319, 95% CI 1.348-306.187) and the decrease of hemoglobin before treatment ( OR 0.870, 95% CI 0.788-0.960) were the independent risk factors of postpartum embryo residue combined with uterine arteriovenous fistula (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The risk factors of uterine arteriovenous fistula in postpartum embryo residue patients with elevated hCG value and decreased hemoglobin value before treatment should be highly vigilant to reduce the rate of clinical missed diagnosis.

Objective To explore the related factors of severe infectious diarrhea in hospitalized pediatric patients with leukemia, and to suggest preventive nursing countermeasures. Methods Totally 81 pediatric patients, which were diagnosed with infectious diarrhea in hospitalized pediatric patients with leukemia in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from July 2016 to December 2017,were collected and analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was carried out on the related factors affecting severe infectious diarrhea. Results There were 36 cases (44.4%) of severe infectious diarrhea occurred in 81 patients with infectious diarrhea. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the history of diarrhea ( OR=3.887) and the long duration of diarrhea with neutropenia ( OR=1.243) were risk factors for severe infectious diarrhea in hospitalized children with leukemia (P<0.05). And the results also showed that the bigger age ( OR=0.799) and the newly diagnosed leukemia ( OR=0.236) were the protective factors for severe infectious diarrhea in in hospitalized children with leukemia (P<0.05). Conclusion Prevention and treatment of diarrhea should be emphasized in pediatric patients with leukemia since newly diagnosis, and bone marrow depression should be actively ameliorated. Among those patients, smaller age and patients with repeated chemotherapy were at high risk for severe infectious diarrhea, which should be paid more attention.
