Objective:
To investigate the situation of road traffic injuries (RTIs) among middle school students in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for implementation of interventions against RTIs among students.
Methods:
From 2021 to 2023, a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 82 junior high school classes and 89 senior high school classes in Shaoxing City as the survey population. Data on basic information, commuting travel, road safety behaviors and road safety knowledge awareness were collected through questionnaires, and the prevalence of RTIs in the past year was analyzed.
Results:
A total of 6 287 middle school students were surveyed, and 971 cases of RTIs were reported, with a reporting rate of 15.44%. The reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females (17.68% vs. 13.34%, P<0.05). The reporting rate of RTIs was higher in high school students than in junior high school students (17.70% vs. 12.66%, P<0.05). The students who mainly walked to school (18.00%), walked 5 days a week (17.82%) and traveled with classmates (17.58%) had higher reporting rates of RTIs. Among those who walked for ≥20 minutes, the reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females (P<0.05). Among different road safety behaviors, the reporting rate of RTIs was higher in males than in females who used electronic devices (P<0.05). The reporting rates of RTIs were relatively high among students who played for ≥10 minutes on the way (32.92%), crossed traffic lights directly when being late for school (41.54%) and crossed traffic barriers directly (30.67%). The reporting rate of RTIs among middle school students decreased with the increase of road safety knowledge scores (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Male students, high school students, students with road risky behaviors and with low awareness of road safety knowledge have higher reporting rates of RTIs. It is necessary to strengthen road safety knowledge education for students.

Objective To develop and evaluate a porcine model for training the single needle running suture method of laparoscopie urethrovesical anastomosis(LUA). Methods Twenty minipigs with mean weight of 30kg were general anaesthetized with Sumianxin solution 0. 1 ml/kg intramuscularly. Pneumoperitoneum was created by insufflation of carbon dioxide by a veress needle inserted through the umbilicus. One 10mm port and two 5mm ports were positioned after the establishment of pneumoperitoneum. The intestine was used as "bladder". The procedures were completed with the single needle running suture method of laparoscopic urethrovesical anastomosis. Six trainees performed the LUA procedure based on the models during a laparoscopic training course, following the technique used in the operation room. The learning curve was analyzed by operative time. Results The porcine model for laparoscopic training was established successfully and 3 LUAs could be performed on each pig. Each trainee performed 10 LUAs based on the models during the training course of laparoscopic urology. The operative time declined from (55.3±10. 4)min initially to (22.4±4.8)min (P<0. 01) after the training course. At the end of training, all trainees could accomplish a watertight LUR procedure on the model. Conclusions The establishment of the training model is feasible. The trainees could acquire the skills necessary to perform LUA in vivo based on this model. The model provides a platform for training the basic techniques of LUA procedures.

OBJECTIVETo study the association of rs9939609 polymorphism of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) with overweight or obesity in Hazakh children.
METHODSPCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to determine the rs9939609 polymorphism in 141 patients with overweight or obesity and 138 healthy controls. Height and weight were measured for body mass index (BMI). Serum lipid levels including total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, plasma glucose levels, and plasma insulin were also determined.
RESULTSThe genotype distributions of both groups were in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequencies of AA, AT and TT were 0.071, 0.511 and 0.418 in the overweight or obesity group, and 0.029, 0.428 and 0.543 in the controls (Chi-square = 5.74, P= 0.057). However, the frequency of AA+ AT genotype in case group (0.582, 82/141) was higher than that in the controls (0.457, 63/138)(Chi-square = 4.368, P= 0.037). The A allele frequency in the case group (0.326) was higher than that in the controls (0.243) (Chi-square = 4.772, P= 0.029). In both groups, the plasma glucose levels of individuals with AA+ AT genotype (4.88± 0.51 mol/L) was higher than those with TT genotypes (4.68± 0.56 mol/L)(P= 0.026). Logistic regression analysis showed that the A allele of the FTO gene was an independent risk factor for overweight or obesity (OR= 0.527; 95%CI: 0.319-0.869).
CONCLUSIONThe A allele of the fat mass and obesity associated gene might be a risk factor of overweight or obesity in Hazakh children in Xinjiang.

Objective:To establish a nomogram model based on elastic imaging parameters and ultrasound image features, and evaluate its predictive value in central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) .Methods:The clinical data of 168 patients (the research group) with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent thyroid surgery in our hospital from Jan. 2019 to Dec. 2021 were retrospectively collected, including gender, age, ultrasound elastography parameters (elasticity ratio, blue area ratio), and ultrasound examination indicators (nodule diameter, nodule number, internal echo, border, edge, aspect ratio, microcalcification, capsule invasion). Another 150 patients who underwent thyroid surgery in our hospital during the same period were selected as the validation group.According to the results of postoperative pathological examination, the the research group were divided into two groups: 64 cases (38.10%) of CLNM and 104 cases (61.90%) of non-CLNM. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of CLNM in PTC patients, and a nomogram model based on elastic imaging parameters and ultrasound image features was established. The nomogram model was drawn to predict the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of CLNM in PTC patients.Results:There were statistically significant differences in nodule diameter, edge, microcalcification, capsule invasion, blue area ratio, and elasticity ratio ( P<0.05). Most of the nodules in the CLNM group were ≥10 mm in diameter, with uneven margins, an aspect ratio of <1, microcalcifications and capsular invasion. Logistic regression analysis showed that nodule diameter, capsule invasion, blue area ratio and elastic ratio were risk factors for CLNM ( P<0.05). The AUC of the combined detection was 0.857 (0.777-0.937), and the sensitivity and specificity were 78.1% and 86.5%, respectively, and the AUC and sensitivity were significantly higher than the individual detection of each index ( P<0.05). In the research group, the sensitivity and specificity of the ultrasound parameter prediction model in predicting CLNM were 81.25% (52/64) and 84.62% (88/104), respectively. In the validation group, the sensitivity and specificity of the ultrasound parameter prediction model in predicting CLNM were 79.17% (38/48) and 85.29% (87/102), respectively. Conclusion:Elastography parameters (blue area ratio, elasticity ratio) and ultrasound image features (nodule diameter, capsular invasion) are the influencing factors of CLNM in PTC patients, and the combined prediction based on the above four indicators has good application value.
