Objective: To describe the prevalence characteristics and trend of malnutrition among primary and secondary school students in Zhejiang Province from 2008 to 2021, so as to provide scientific references for targeted interventions on malnutrition among children and adolescents. Methods: Based on the National Student Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors Surveillance Project, 81 228 primary and middle school students aged 9-17 from Zhejiang Province were recruited for a questionnaire in 2008, 2014 and 2021, with stratified cluster random sampling method. Malnutrition was determined by Screening for Malnutrition in School aged Children and Adolescents. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for non normally distributed data, and the Chi square test was used for categorical data. A trend Chi square test analyzed detection rates across different years. Results: The prevalence rates of malnutrition, stunting, mild wasting, and moderate to severe wasting among primary and secondary school students in 2008, 2014 and 2021 were 12.0%, 6.6%, 6.0%; 1.2%, 0.5%, 0.3%; 6.0%, 3.9%, 3.6%; and 4.7%, 2.2%, 2.2%, with an overall declining trend ( χ 2 trend =532.73, 181.43, 161.24, 240.38, P <0.05). The prevalence rates of malnutrition and mild wasting in each year were higher in boys (13.7%, 7.6%; 7.5%, 5.0%; 7.1%, 4.5%) than in girls (10.3%, 4.4%; 5.5%, 2.7%; 4.8%, 2.5%) ( χ 2=54.45, 88.67; 47.04, 81.07; 85.28, 98.81; P <0.01). The difference in malnutrition prevalence between urban and rural areas gradually narrowed (12.5%, 11.6%; 6.9%, 6.3%; 6.0%, 6.0%), with no statistically significant difference in 2021 ( χ 2= 0.01 , P >0.05). Malnutrition among primary and secondary school students was primarily characterized by mild wasting (56.0%) in Zhejiang Province. Compared to 2008, the prevalence of malnutrition in 2014 and 2021 showed a steady upward trend with increasing age in Zhejiang Province( χ 2 trends =44.52, 11.78, P <0.01). Conclusions The prevalence of malnutrition among primary and secondary school students aged 9 to 17 years in Zhejiang Province decreases by year from 2008 to 2021. However, the prevalence increase steadily with age, and boys have a higher prevalence of malnutrition. Policies should be developed age , gender , and growth appropriate dietary patterns to reduce malnutrition among primary and secondary school students.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of depressive symptoms among middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide scientific basis for the implementation of depressive intervention. Methods: Based on the health status and associated factors of middle and high school students in the project "Monitoring of Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors of Students" during 2018 to 2021, a total of 73 309 students including middle school, ordinary high school and vocational high school surveyed in 11 cities of Zhejiang Province were selected by multi stage stratified cluster random sampling method. From 2018 to 2021, there were 6 008, 21 917, 23 712 and 21 672 students, respectively. The Chi square test and Logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of depressive symptoms in middle and high school students. Results: From 2018 to 2021, depressive symptoms detection rate of middle school students was 14.8%, with higher rate in girls (17.1%) than in boys (12.7%), higher rate in high school (17.1% in ordinary high school, 17.6% in vocational high school) than middle school (12.5%)( χ 2=278.77, 327.22, P <0.05). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in depressive symptoms detection rate among middle school students with different years (2018: 16.7%，2019: 17.9% , 2020: 13.1%, 2021: 13.0%), residence (yes: 16.3%, no:13.5%), body mass index classification (not overweight or obesity: 14.8%, overweight: 14.2%, Obesity: 15.7%), weekly exercise days (0-2 d: 17.1%, 3-5 d: 12.5%, 6-7 d: 13.1%) and bullying (yes: 35.5%, no: 10.7%) ( χ 2=293.40, 118.35, 7.83, 287.24, 4 978.84, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female students, ordinary high schools, vocational high schools, obesity, school bullying were positively correlated with depression ( OR =1.65, 1.70, 1.60, 1.12, 5.21), exercise 3 to 5 days per week, exercise 6 to 7 days per week were negatively correlated with depression ( OR=0.77, 0.81, P <0.01). Conclusions Depressive symptoms among middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province are prominent. Strengthening mental health education for students and providing attention and support from families, schools, and society are essential steps to reduce the occurrence of depressive symptoms among these students.

Objective:The study retrospectively analyzed the etiology, clinical manifestations, emergency treatment and etiological treatment of a large sample of cases with hypercalcemic crisis.Methods:The clincial data of patients with hypercalcaemia cirisis who were administered in First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to July 2022 were analyzed, inculding the general data, clinical manifestations, etiology, photographic examination, emergency treatment, etiological treatment, serological examination before and after treatment, pathological immunohistochemical findings and prognosis.Results:A total of 143 hypercalcaemia crisis patients(84 males and 59 females) with a mean age of 53.51±16.60 were enrolled. The most common disease was hyperparathyroidism(62/143), followed by solid malignancy(57/143) and multiple myeloma(12/143). Patients presented with digestive system symptoms at 76.91%, followed by neurological symptoms at 63.60%, urinary system symptoms at 58.76%, musculoskeletal symptoms at 55.23%, and cardiovascular system symptoms at 32.91%. After emergency calcium-lowering treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemic crisis in 143 patients was 100%(143/143), and after etiological treatment, the remission rate of hypercalcemia was 85.31%(122/143).Conclusion:Early identification, emergency treatment and etiology treatment of hypercalcaemia crisis are essential. Effective treament with comprehensive calcium reduction can quickly relieve clinical symptoms and create opportunities for treatment for the cause. Targeted etiological interventions can lead to the correction or long-term remission of hypercalcemia.

Objective:To determine the long-term efficacy and safety of intra-cervical lymphatic immunotherapy (ICLIT) for adult allergic rhinitis (AR) by comparing it with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT).Methods:A total of 100 adult AR patients with dust mite allergy in Department of Otorhinolaryngology, First People′s Hospital of Foshan from Feb 2018 to Dec 2019 were randomly divided into two groups, 50 in SCIT group [including 42 males and 8 females, aging (32.55±9.72) years] and 50 in ICLIT group [including 45 males and 5 females, aging (31.33±9.84) years]. The changes in total symptom score (total system score, TSS), nasal symptom score (total nasal symptom score, TNSS), eye symptom score (total ocular scoring system, TOSS), drug score (total medication score, TMS), and quality of life score of the two groups of patients were evaluated before and after treatment, and the adverse reactions of all patients during the treatment period were recorded. The changes in the level of dust mite specific IgE (sIgE) in the serum were evaluated. GraphPad Prism 9.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:In the SCIT group, 38 patients completed treatment and follow-up, with a dropout rate of 24%. In the ICLIT group, 48 patients completed treatment and follow-up, with a dropout rate of only 4%. The scores of TSS, TNSS, TOSS, TMS, and quality of life in the ICLIT group before treatment were 32.1±3.0, 27.3±3.1, 4.8±2.8, 2.3±0.9, and 68.1±28.7, respectively; After 36 months of treatment, the scores were 21.8±11.4, 18.1±9.4, 3.7±2.9, 1.3±1.1, and 36.0±26.7, respectively, which were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001). After 36 months of treatment, the TSS of the ICLIT group improved by 10.3±11.2 compared to before, while the TSS of the SCIT group improved significantly by 21.9±11.0 compared to before, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( P<0.001). No serious systemic adverse reactions occurred in both groups of patients. Conclusions:ICLIT treatment for adult AR has long-term efficacy, high safety, and high compliance, but its long-term efficacy is not as good as SCIT. ICLIT can be considered as a new complementary option for AR immunotherapy.

Objective:To analyzed clinical characteristics of pituitary growth hormone(GH) adenomas patients with different responses to oral glucose inhibitory GH test.Methods:The clinical data of 50 patients with pituitary GH adenomas newly diagnosed with complete test data and case data in the Department of Endocrinology of Chinese PLA General Hospital was retrospectively analyzed from 2016 to 2021. The cases were divided into two groups according to the cutoff point of GH elevating to 50% of basaline during oral glucose test: abnormal elevation group(A group, n=16) and non-elevation group(B group, n=34). The clinical features, biochemistry, iconography, and immunohistochemistry of the two groups were analyzed. Results:The serum total cholesterol(TC)[(3.9±0.8) vs (4.6±0.9)mmol/L], 120 minutes insulin after glucose loading [11.2(4.4, 25.0) vs 92.0(10.8, 311.8)mU/L], long [1.0(0.4, 2.1) vs 1.5(0.5, 7.3) cm] and short[0.6(0.3, 1.3) vs 1.0(0.5, 5.8)cm] diameters of adenomas in A group were less than those in B group(all P<0.05) while insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ) level was higher [(908.2±233.7) vs (743.1±273.1) ng/mL, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in sex, age, disease course, clinical features, random GH, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR), pituitary adenoma site, and invasive properties between the two groups. The immunohistochemical positive rates of ACTH(33% vs 0%) and prolactin(100% vs 28.6%)in A group were higher than those in B group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Pituitary GH adenomas patients with a paradoxical GH response pattern display lower serum TC and 120 minutes insulin levels as well as higher IGF-Ⅰ concentration and proportion of pituitary microadenomas. " Pure" growth hormone tumors may represent entities of a particular class of diseases in acromegaly.

Objective:To provide insight into the diagnosis for clinicians, the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment history of 3 patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) and testicular adrenal rest tumors (TART) were analyzed.Methods:The clinical, laboratory and imaging data of 3 male patients with 21-OHD and TART, confirmed with CYP21 gene sequencing, from May 2010 to May 2021 in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The treatment strategy and clinical outcome were followed up.Results:All the 3 patients were first diagnosed with bilateral adrenal mass at the age of 27-42 years old. They were 145-162 cm tall. The levels of progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) of the 3 patients were relatively high, and that of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) of the 3 patients were low. Testosterone level of 1 patient was significantly elevated, and that of the other 2 patients was below the lower limit of normal range. Testicular ultrasound showed heterogeneous hyperechoic masses in both testes. CT of the adrenal glands showed bilateral adrenal enlargement with mass. All 3 patients were treated with dexamethasone. After 4-96 months of follow-up, 17-hydroxyprogesterone level was kept above the median normal level. One of the patients got married and had a baby after treatment. The sizes of adrenal hyperplasia and testicular masses reduced to various degrees with the change of the testicular masses being proportional to that of adrenal hyperplasia.Conclusions:Patients with 21-OHD are prone to have TART, leading to the impaired testicular function. Early glucocorticold therapy is beneficial to the reduction of TART and restoration of testicular function.

Objective:To investigate the implementation status of sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy for patients with septic shock in emergency department.Methods:A total of 116 septic shock patients admitted to the emergency department from January 2020 to December 2020 were included in this prospective study, and the implementation of sepsis bundles and the clinical outcomes of patients were recorded.Results:Among 116 patients, 20 cases (17.2%) had lactic acid monitored within 1 h, 20 cases (17.2%) had blood culture before antibiotics, 82 cases (70.1%) received broad-spectrum antibiotics, 16 cases (13.8%) received fluid resuscitation ≥30 ml/kg, and 57 cases (49.1%) received vasoactive drugs during resuscitation. Finally, the sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy was fully implemented only in 13 cases (11.2%). Compared with the group with incomplete implementation of sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy, the volume of fluid recovery in the group with full implementation was significantly increased [33.7 (30.0,37.5) vs. 8.9(7.3,10.8) ml/kg, Z=-4.78, P<0.001], mean artery blood pressure significantly increased [70.0 (70.0,76.7) vs. 67.7 (61.7,76.7)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) , Z=-2.00, P<0.001], and lactic acid significantly decreased [3.0 (2.0,3.2) vs. 4.4 (3.7,7.2) mmol/L, Z=-2.76, P=0.006]. However, there were no significant differences in ICU mortality, in-hospital mortality and 28-day mortality between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Septic shock patients in emergency department have poor compliance with the implementation of sepsis hour-1 bundle strategy, and relevant management training should be strengthened.

Objective To understand the situation of cancer screening of community residents and its association with the knowledge of cancer core knowledge, and to provide reference for the formulation of secondary cancer prevention measures. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2 037 residents aged 18-79 who lived in Bao 'an District, Shenzhen. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between core knowledge and cancer screening behavior after adjusting for age, gender, education, marriage, occupation and smoking. Results The cancer screening rate of community residents was 28.10%, and the screening rate of middle-aged and elderly people aged 40-79 was 33.50 %.The proportion of ^“not very well understanding^”, ^“partial understanding^” and ^“basic understanding^” of the core knowledge of cancer were 43.91%, 42.33% and 13.76%, respectively, which was higher than that of the non-participants. Multivariate analysis showed that the women, the higher the level of education of college/university or above and the higher the level of knowledge of cancer prevention core knowledge, the higher the probability of participating in cancer screening was OR (95%CI ) : 2.40 (1.86-3.12), 1.65 (1.29-2.10), 1.38 (1.18 - 1.62), respectively. Conclusion The proportion of cancer screening in community residents needs to be improved, and the degree of core knowledge of cancer is closely related to cancer screening behavior. It is suggested to increase the publicity and education of the core knowledge of cancer, and at the same time, carry out the health education of secondary cancer prevention for the key population such as men and people with low education level, so as to improve the proportion of ^“early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment^” of cancer.

BACKGROUND: The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has had a massive impact on public health, resulting in sudden dietary and behavioral habit changes. Frontline epidemic prevention workers play a pivotal role against COVID-19. They must face high-risk infection conditions, insufficient anti-epidemic material supplies, mental pressure, and so on. COVID-19 seriously affects their dietary and behavioral habits, and poor habits make them more susceptible to COVID-19. However, their baseline dietary and behavioral habits before COVID-19 and their willingness to change these habits after the outbreak of COVID-19 remain unclear for these workers in China. This study aimed to explore the baseline dietary and behavioral habits of frontline workers and their willingness to change these habits after the outbreak of the epidemic; in addition, susceptible subgroups were identified by stratified analyses as targets of protective measures to keep them from being infected with COVID-19. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online questionnaire using a sample of 22,459 valid individuals living in China, including 9402 frontline epidemic prevention workers. RESULTS: Before COVID-19, 23.9% of the frontline epidemic prevention workers reported a high-salt diet, 46.9% of them reported a high frequency of fried foods intake, and 50.9% of them smoked cigarettes. After the outbreak of COVID-19, 34.6% of them expressed a willingness to reduce salt intake, and 43.7% of them wanted to reduce the frequency of pickled vegetables intake. A total of 37.9% of them expressed a willingness to decrease or quit smoking, and 44.5% of them wanted to increase sleep duration. Significant differences in the baseline dietary and behavioral habits and the willingness to change their habits were observed between frontline epidemic prevention workers and other participants. Among the frontline epidemic prevention workers with poor dietary and behavioral habits before COVID-19, frontline epidemic prevention experience was a promoting factor for adopting worse dietary and behavioral habits, including those in the high-salt intake subgroup (OR, 2.824; 95% CI, 2.341-3.405) and the 11-20 cigarettes/day subgroup (OR, 2.067; 95% CI, 1.359-3.143). CONCLUSIONS The dietary and behavioral habits of frontline epidemic prevention workers were worse than that those of other participants before COVID-19. They had a greater willingness to adopt healthy dietary and behavioral habits after experiencing the outbreak of COVID-19. However, frontline epidemic prevention workers with poor dietary and behavioral habits before COVID-19 continued in engage in these poor habits. Dietary and behavioral intervention policies should be drafted to protect their health, especially frontline epidemic prevention workers with poor habits at baseline.
