Objective:
To investigate the status of heat illness, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heat wave knowledge among food delivery riders, so as to provide a basis for optimizing heat wave response measures for food delivery riders.
Methods:
In November 2022, food delivery riders from a large food delivery platform in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects using a cluster sampling method. A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to select demographic information, work status, lifestyle behaviors and disease history, heat illness status, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heatwave.
Results:
A total of 911 questionnaires were distributed, and 830 valid questionnaires were recovered, resulting in a valid response rate of 91.11%. Among the respondents, 796 (95.90%) were male, and 818 (98.55%) worked full-time. The mean age was (27.75±8.00) years. A total of 470 respondents (56.63%) had a work tenure of less than 1 year. The primary working hours were 8-<12 hours, with 504 people accounting for 60.72%. There were 108 cases of heatstroke, with an occurrence rate of 13.01%. And 286 people reported heat-related symptoms, with an occurrence rate of 34.46%. The overall awareness rate of heat wave knowledge was 73.22%, while the awareness rate of heat warning signal classification was relatively low at 9.04%. The heat wave cognition score was (5.86±1.31) points. There were statistically significant differences in heat wave cognition scores among food delivery riders of different ages, educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and work durations (all P<0.05). Regarding positive adaptive behaviors, the number of riders paying attention to weather forecasts and actively learning about preventive measures was higher (734 people each, accounting for 88.43%). Regarding negative adaptive behaviors, the number of riders who often drank ice-cold beverages was higher (509 people, accounting for 61.33%). The heat wave adaptive behavior score was (6.88±1.77) points. There were statistically significant differences in adaptive behavior scores among riders with different educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and smoking frequency (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The occurrence rates of heatstroke and heat-related symptoms among food delivery riders are relatively high. The knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors regarding heat wave are at a moderate level. It is suggested to strengthen health education, reinforce risk cognition of heat wave, and promote positive adaptive behaviors among food delivery riders.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). METHODS A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Data to collect randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy (experimental group) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy (control group) in the treatment of TNBC. After literature screening, data extraction and literature quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0. RESULTS A total of 5 RCT involving 1 498 patients were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the pathological complete response rate (pCR) [RR=1.34, 95%CI (1.09, 1.63), P=0.03], pCR in patients with positive programmed death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) [RR=1.33, 95%CI (1.16, 1.51), P=0.01], pCR in patients with positive lymph nodes [RR= 1.56, 95%CI (1.27, 1.93), P=0.01], the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) [RR=1.07, 95%CI (1.01, 1.14), P= 0.04], the incidence of serious AEs [RR=1.57, 95%CI (1.31, 1.87), P=0.03], and the incidence of treatment discontinuation due to AEs [RR=1.45, 95%CI (1.19, 1.76), P=0.01] were significantly higher in the experimental group than control group. There were no statistically significant difference in pCR in patients with negative PD-1/PD-L1[RR= E-mail:biejun23@126.com 1.26, 95%CI (0.98, 1.62), P=0.08] and pCR in patients with negative lymph nodes [RR=1.14, 95%CI (0.97, 1.33), P=0.17] between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy demonstrates significant efficacy in early-stage TNBC patients, with more pronounced benefits observed in those who are PD-1/PD-L1 positive and lymph node- positive. However, the incidence of AEs is relatively high.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

With the growing emphasis on maternal and child oral health, the significance of managing oral health across preconception, pregnancy, and infancy stages has become increasingly apparent. Oral health challenges extend beyond affecting maternal well-being, exerting profound influences on fetal and neonatal oral development as well as immune system maturation. This expert consensus paper, developed using a modified Delphi method, reviews current research and provides recommendations on maternal and child oral health management. It underscores the critical role of comprehensive oral assessments prior to conception, diligent oral health management throughout pregnancy, and meticulous oral hygiene practices during infancy. Effective strategies should be seamlessly integrated across the life course, encompassing preconception oral assessments, systematic dental care during pregnancy, and routine infant oral hygiene. Collaborative efforts among pediatric dentists, maternal and child health workers, and obstetricians are crucial to improving outcomes and fostering clinical research, contributing to evidence-based health management strategies.

Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted with a minimum follow-up of four years involving 95 patients (ED group, n=45; non-DVR [ND] group, n=50). Radiographic measurements included thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sagittal vertical axis, coronal balance, and Cobb angles preoperatively and postoperatively. Flexibility curves and axial vertebral rotation were assessed using computed tomography before and after surgery. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire.
Results:
The preoperative major Cobb angles were comparable between the ED group (52.2°±2°) and the ND group (52.8°±3°), with no significant difference (p=0.327). At the last follow-up, the average Cobb angle was significantly lower in the ED group (4.6°±2°) compared to the ND group (6.1°±3°), indicating a significant difference (p=0.005). The postoperative radiographic shoulder height showed no significant difference at the last follow-up. The axial vertebral rotation was significantly greater in the ED group (8.4°±0°) than in the ND group (11.1°±1°) (p=0.001). Additionally, the ED group demonstrated substantial preservation of fusion levels with an average of 5.6 fused segments compared to 6.3 in the ND group.
Conclusions
A significantly higher incidence of satisfactory outcomes was observed at the final follow-up, with the correction rate of the ED group superior to that of the ND group for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Lenke 5C. Moreover, patients in the ED group reported better outcomes on the SRS-22 questionnaire and had a shorter hospital stay than those in the ND group.

Objective To evaluate the economic value of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist(GLP-1RA)in combination with metformin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Based on 7 randomized controlled clinical trials(RCTs),Markov model was built to simulate the dynamic changes of metformin alone or combined with GLP-1RA in the treatment of T2DM patients without or with complications and death from the perspective of China's health system.Quality-adjusted life years(QALYs)was used as a health output indicator and 3 times China's per capita gross domestic product(GDP)in 2023 was set as the willingness-to-pay(WTP)threshold.The cycle was at the rate of 1 year and a total of 20 years cohort simulation in Markov model was applied to obtain long-term cost and effect of each treatment strategy.The incremental cost-utility ratio(ICUR)was analyzed as the primary evaluation indicator and the sensitivity of cost,utility and discount was performed to test the stability of the results.Results Compared with metformin alone,the ICUR of GLP-1RA including liraglutide,dulaglutide,exenatide,loxenatide,semaglutide combined with metformin were all below the WTP threshold,and the increased cost was acceptable.Extending the simulation time to 30 years or 50 years had no effect on results.The results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that the cost effect of semaglutide 0.5 mg combined with metformin had the highest probability of a cost-utility advantage of 99.7%among all the treatment strategies when WTP threshold was 3 times China's per capita GDP in 2023(268 074 yuan).Conclusion GLP-1RA,including liraglutide,dulaglutide,exenatide,lixisenatide,and semaglutide,at the regular recommended dose combined with metformin,would present higher cost-utility compared to metformin monotherapy.

Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog(KRAS)is a type of gene closely related to human tumors.And it's an important medical index to access the tumor development,prognosis and the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy.RAS mutations,in which KRAS mutations account for up to 85%,are the most common oncogenic driving mutations in human tumors.The most frequent KRAS mutation sites are codons 12,13,61 and 146.Codon G12,as the most frequently mutated one,can be divided into multiple subtypes,with G12D mutation being the most common,followed by G12V,G12C,etc.Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the tumors with the highest frequency of KRAS mutations.Both G12D and G12V are the most common mutation subtypes in CRC.In the field of treatments for CRC with KRAS mutations,targeted therapy had not been possible until the release of KRASG12C inhibitors in 2013,and new drugs have been developed one after another since then.This study summarized the mutations of KRAS and the advances in clinical research,including the latest advances in targeted drugs,chemotherapy drugs,immunotherapy drugs,ferroptosis,and other treatment methods.Among them,in terms of targeted drugs,this review explored KRASG12C inhibitors(sotorasib,adagrasib,D-1553,IBI351,etc.),anti-angiogenic drugs(monoclonal antibodies such as bevacizumab,remdesizumab,etc),small molecule multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sunitinib,etc.In terms of immunotherapy drugs,there have also been many advances,such as the ARETHUSA clinical trial,which found that temozolomide reduced the tumor mutational burden(TMB)of O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase(MGMT)deficiency and RAS mutation in patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC),providing innovative ideas for patient immunotherapy.For example,the combination of xindilimab with bevacizumab,oxaliplatin,and capecitabine can be used for first-line treatment of RAS mutations,microsatellite stability(MSS),and unresectable mCRC.Relevant studies have shown that the combination therapy has good therapeutic potential and controllable tolerability safety.This review explored the mechanisms of KRAS mutations and the latest advances in clinical research and treatment,in order to provide reference for the treatment of KRAS mutated colorectal cancer.
10.Relationship between Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and genetic susceptibility in gestational diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2024;32(6):427-431
Objective To explore the relationship between vitamin D receptor(VDR)gene polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility in gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods A total of 240 patients with GDM who were hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Wuhan Yaxin General Hospital were enrolled in this study from January 2019 to January 2022(GDM group),and another 240 healthy pregnant women matched were selected as normal control(NC)group during the same period.The general information,FPG,HbA1c,2 hour postprandial blood glucose(2 hPG),insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR),serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D]level,and VDR gene polymorphisms were compared between the two groups.The correlation between HOMA-IR and 25(OH)D levels was evaluated by Pearson analysis.The influencing factors for GDM genetic susceptibility were analyzed by logistic regression model.The pregnancy outcomes of GDM patients were analyzed by follow-up to the end of pregnancy.Results The prevalence of DM family history,FPG,2 hPG,HbA1c and HOMA-IR were higher(P<0.05),whilethe serum 25(OH)D was lower in GDM group than in NC group(P<0.05).There was significant difference in the distribution of genotype and allele frequency of FokI locus of VDR gene between the two groups(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with FPG,2 hPG,HbA1c and HOMA-IR(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that DM family history,VDR gene FokI genotype GA and AA were the influencing factors for GDM genetic susceptibility.The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was higher in patients with FokI AA genotype than in patients with GA and GG genotypes(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was higher in patients with GA genotype than in patients with GG genotype(P<0.05).Conclusions The VDR gene FokI locus gene polymorphism is associated with the genetic susceptibility to GDM,and its GA and AA genotypes both increase the risk of GDM susceptibility and the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
