Objective:
To investigate the impact of temperature changes between neighboring days (TCN) on the mortality risk of respiratory diseases, so as to provide the evidence for the study of deaths from respiratory diseases caused by climate change.
Methods:
The monitoring data of deaths from respiratory diseases in Zibo City from 2015 to 2019 were collected from Shandong Provincial Management Information System for Chronic Diseases and Cause of Death Surveillance. The meteorological and air pollutant data of the same period were collected from China Meteorological Data Website and ChinaHighAirPollutants dataset. The effect of TCN on the risk of deaths from respiratory diseases was examined using a generalized additive model combined with a distributed lag non-linear model, and subgroup analyses for gender and age were conducted. The disease burden attributed to TCN at different intervals was assessed by calculating attributable fraction.
Results:
Totally 11 767 deaths from respiratory diseases were reported in Zibo City from 2015 to 2019, including 6 648 males (56.50%) and 5 119 females (43.50%). There were 1 307 deaths aged <65 years (11.11%), and 10 460 deaths aged 65 years and older (88.89%). A monotonically increasing exposure-response relationship was observed between TCN and deaths from respiratory diseases in the general population, females, and the population aged 65 years and older. The 95th percentile of TCN (P95, 3.84 ℃) reached the peak at a cumulative lagged of day 11 (RR=2.063, 95%CI: 1.261-3.376). The results of subgroup analyses showed greater impacts on females and the population aged 65 years and older, with cumulative lagged effects peaking at day 12 (RR=3.119, 95%CI: 1.476-6.589) and day 11 (RR=2.107, 95%CI: 1.260-3.523). The results of attributional risk analysis showed that next-day warming might increase the attributable risk of deaths from respiratory diseases, and next-day cooling might decrease the attributable risk.
Conclusion
Next-day warming may increase the mortality risk of respiratory diseases, and has greater impacts on females and the population aged 65 years and older.

Objective:To analyze the effect of intestinal fluid reinfusion after anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy in patients with low rectal cancer.Methods:A prospective research method was used, and 60 patients with low rectal cancer in Zhejiang Jinhua Guangfu Tumor Hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled. The patients were divided into control group (treated with anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy) and observation group (treated with anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy combined with intestinal fluid infusion) by random number table method with 30 cases each. On the next day and 3 months after surgery, the low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scale was used to evaluate anal function, the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) method was used to evaluate nutritional status, the stoma-quality of life (stoma-QOL) was used to evaluate the quality of life. The complications were recorded.Results:Both groups of patients were successfully completed the scheduled surgery. There were no statistical differences in LARS score and incidence of LARS on the next day after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05); the LARS score and incidence of LARS 3 months after surgery in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (18.63 ± 3.15) scores vs. (24.90 ± 6.11) scores and 23.33% (7/30) vs. 46.67% (14/30), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in PG-SGA score and incidence of malnutrition on the next day after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05); the PG-SGA score and incidence of malnutrition 3 months after surgery in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (3.07 ± 0.82) scores vs. (5.13 ± 1.01) scores and 26.67% (8/30) vs. 46.67% (14/30), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in the scores of psychological burden, social interaction, stoma management and daily living of stoma-QOL on the next day after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05); the scores 3 months after surgery in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group: (27.70 ± 4.28) scores vs. (21.47 ± 5.16) scores, (14.33 ± 2.03) scores vs. (11.90 ± 1.64) scores, (14.87 ± 1.92) scores vs. (11.57 ± 2.38) scores and (15.30 ± 1.03) scores vs. (12.37 ± 2.11) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The incidence of complications in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 30.00% (9/30) vs. 60.00% (18/30), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 5.45, P<0.05). Conclusions:For the patients with low rectal cancer, the anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy combined with intestinal fluid reinfusion can reduce LARS, improve nutritional status, improve quality of life, and also reduce complications.
