Objective:
To investigate the factors influencing parents willingness to vaccinate their children against influenza in Guangzhou, and to provide a scientific basic for effectively improving the coverage rate of influenza vaccine in children.
Methods:
According to economic level, one secondary school and one elementary school in each of the central administrative and peripheral districts of Guangzhou were selected by stratified cluster sampling. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 5 133 parents of the school students. Questionnaire content included the basic characteristics of children and their parents, and parents knowledge of influenza vaccination for children.
Results:
A total of 14.57%(748/5 133) of parents were unwilling to have their children vaccinated against influenza. The results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis found that, compared with parents aged ≤35 years old, parents aged 41-45 years and ≥46 years were 49% (adjusted OR=1.49, 95%CI =1.11-2.00) and 86% (adjusted OR= 1.86 , 95%CI =1.33-2.60), respectively, more likely to refuse vaccinating their children. Parents with an annual income ≥ 200 000 yuan were 52% more likely to be unwilling to vaccinate their children than those with annual income <100 000 yuan (adjusted OR=1.52, 95%CI =1.12-2.06). Parents living within a walking distance ≥30 minutes from the vaccination clinic were 52% more likely to be vaccinereluctant than those living within a walking distance of ≤10 minutes (adjusted OR=1.52, 95%CI = 1.16- 1.99). Compared with parents who regarded the vaccine as safe, parents who did not believe that it was safe or who were unsure of its safety were more likely to refuse vaccinating their children, with adjusted OR(95%CI ) of 12.75(9.44-17.23) and 3.37(2.73- 4.15 ), respectively( P <0.01).
Conclusion
Parents age, annual income, recognition of the safety of influenza vaccines, and walking distance to the vaccination clinic are associated with parents willingness to vaccinate children against influenza. Hospitals, communities and schools should cooperate to carry out vaccination and popular science propaganda, and arrange vaccination sites rationally to improve the coverage of influenza vaccines.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and clinical experiences of fluorescein angiography assisted occlusion via lateral-orbital keyhole approach in internal carotid bifurcation aneurysms. Methods:The clinical data of 16 patients with internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysms admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients accepted fluorescein angiography assisted occlusion via lateral-orbital keyhole approach. The patients were followed up at one, 3, and 6 months after surgery by medical imaging. The therapeutic efficacy of these patients was assessed by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS). Results:All aneurysms in these 16 patients were clipped at one-stage operation. Intraoperative fluorescein angiography and FLOW 800 showed that the aneurysms were completely clipped without residual, and the blood flow of the parent artery and perforating arteries was unobstructed. Six months after surgery, 14 patients recovered well (GOS scores of 5), and 3 developed limb hemiplegia (GOS scores of 4).Conclusion:Intraoperative fluorescein angiography assisted occlusion via lateral-orbital keyhole approach is safe and effective in internal carotid bifurcation aneurysms.

Microneedles can penetrate the skin barrier to deliver drugs without touching the nociceptive nerves, to effectively increase the efficiency of transdermal drug delivery and improve patient compliance. Exosomes have multiple physiological functions and good biocompatibility, and are natural nanoscale drug carriers. This paper reviews the pathways and advantages of exosomes combined with microneedles for the treatment of diseases, and describes the current research status of exosome microneedle drug delivery system in various diseases. Exosome microneedles can be divided into two categories: (1) exosomes as therapeutic agents, their unique physiological origin can effectively avoid the toxicity and immunogenicity of conventional drugs and other problems; combined with microneedles directly in the specific medication site can greatly improve the metabolic consumption of oral drug delivery and patient compliance of injection drug delivery. (2) Exosomes as drug carriers, their natural vesicle structure and endogenous characteristics can protect the metabolism of foreign drugs in the body and enhance the targeting; combined with microneedles can effectively solve the problem of transdermal delivery of drugs with high efficacy but poor stability. Exosome microneedle drug delivery system is still in the laboratory stage, but it has shown great development prospects in repairing spinal cord injury, promoting diabetic ulcer wound healing, germinating, intervening myocardial infraction, relieving chronic pain and other diseases.

Exosome is a kind of vesicle secreted by a variety of cells with lipid bilayer membrane structure, which has good biocompatibility, high targeting and high stability, and is a natural nanoscale drug carrier with great development potential in drug delivery system. In this paper, exosomes and their properties, exosome drug delivery pathways and methods, the design strategy of engineered exosome drug delivery systems for targeted disease therapy, and the application of exosome drug delivery systems in the treatment of a variety of diseases were reviewed. Exosome drug delivery pathways could be divided into two categories: exogenous and endogenous. Common exosome drug delivery methods included electroporation, co-incubation, and ultrasound. Engineered exosome drug delivery system can further improve drug loading and enhance drug targeting. The main way of engineering is to modify exosome surface through genetic engineering technology, physical modification, chemical modification, etc. Exosome drug delivery system provides a new idea for targeted therapy of arthritis, tumor, brain and other diseases.

Objective:
To determine the levels of vitamin D in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Shenzhen and identify the influencing factors of vitamin D levels and key groups of vitamin D deficiency, so as to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis- and nutrition-related health education and promotion in Shenzhen.
Methods:
Patients with smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis who were diagnosed in 2016 were selected as the research subjects. Their relevant information and blood samples were collected, and the sample pool was established according to the inclusion criteria. One hundred and twenty patients were selected based on simple random sampling, including 84 men (70.0%) and 36 women (30.0%). Blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations were measured using chemiluminescence technology. Vitamin D statuses in patients were statistically described, and vitamin D levels in patients with different characteristics were compared. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to identify important factors influencing vitamin D levels in patients.
Results:
Mean serum concentration of 25(OH)D in 120 patients was (40.2±16.0) nmol/L. There were 2 cases of vitamin D sufficiency (1.7%), 28 cases of vitamin D insufficiency (23.3%), and 90 cases of vitamin D deficiency (75.0%), of which 23 cases (19.2%) were of severe deficiency. 25(OH)D concentrations in patients with different lifestyles (indoors; indistinguishable indoors or outdoors; outdoors) were significantly different (35.3 nmol/L
