[Objective] To analyze the prevalence of human T-lymphocyte leukemia virus (HTLV) among blood donors in Guangzhou from 2016 to 2021, and provide a basis for blood collection and supply management in this region. [Methods] A total of 2 116 951 voluntary blood donors were screened for anti-HTLV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) from March 2016 to December 2021 in Guangzhou, and the reactive cases were further confirmed by Western blotting (WB). Qualitative data were analyzed by χ2 with spss19 software. The trend of the total positive rate of HTLV confirmation test by WB from 2016 to 2021 was analyzed with the Joinpoint software, and the annual percent change (APC) was used to determine whether the trend changes were statistically significant. [Results] From March 2016 to December 2021, the total positive rate for anti-HTLV by ELISA among voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou was 0.019 7% (416/ 2116 951), and the WB confirmed positive rate was 0.001 1% (23/2 116 951). The total positive rate of HTLV among individual voluntary blood donors in the six main districts (0.002 12%, 19/895 301) was higher than that among group voluntary blood donors (0.000 32%, 3/951 947) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total positive rate of HTLV confirmation between the six main districts (0.001 19%) and the three non-main districts (0.000 37%) (P>0.05). The trend of the total positive rate of HTLV infection in the six main districts and the Guangzhou area(including the six main districts and three non-main districts) showed no significant increase or decrease. [Conclusion] The prevalence of HTLV among blood donors in Guangzhou remains at a low level.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy, and its occurrence in the penis is even rarer. This paper reports a case of primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the penis. The patient was admitted to the hospital with a mass on the glans penis with ulceration, and underwent partial penectomy, and the postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma. One month after surgery, lower abdominal ultrasound and MRI showed abnormal enlargement of bilateral inguinal area and pelvic lymph nodes, respectively. PET/CT scan showed multiple lymph node metastases in retroperitoneum, pelvis, and inguinal area. The patient was recommended chemotherapy, which was refused by the patient and his family. At 9-month postoperative follow-up, there was no recurrence of the penile stump and no deterioration of the condition.

Objective To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of underscreening among cervical cancer screening participants in Wuxiang County,Shanxi Province in 2019,providing evidence-based support for optimizing mobilization strategies.Methods Data from cervical cancer screening programs conducted between 2019 and 2024 in Wuxiang County were retrospectively collected.The follow-up screening behaviors of women screened in 2019 were analyzed,and factors associated with underscreening were identified.Results A total of 3759 women underwent cervical cancer screening in 2019.Among them,492 women(13.09％)with abnormal primary screening results requiring follow-up in 12 months,yet only 43(8.74％)completed;2154 women(57.30％)with negative liquid-based cytology testing(LCT)results needed re-screening after 3 years,701(32.54％)completed;1113 women(29.61％)with negative HPV/combined results needed re-screening after 5 years,734(65.95％)completed.Overall,2299 women(60.69％)exhibited underscreening.Multivariate analysis showed that underscreening was more likely among community residents than rural residents(OR=2.309,P=0.018),older women(OR=1.065,P＜0.001),those in organized screening compared to opportunistic screening(OR=3.789,P＜0.001),those undergoing LCT(OR=4.607,P＜0.001)or combined screening instead of human papillomavirus testing(OR=3.624,P＜0.001),and those with abnormal screening results(OR=6.859,P＜0.001).Conclusion Substantial proportions of cervical cancer screening participants demonstrate poor adherence to guideline-recommended screening intervals,and particularly need to focus on older women and those with abnormal screening results.Implementation of electronic screening record systems and emphasizing knowledge of periodical screening in health education could enhance compliance with"70％screening coverage"target for cervical cancer prevention.

Objective To investigate the anesthesia effects of different concentrations of sevoflurane combined with propofol during primary liver cancer resection surgery,as well as the changes in immune function in patients.Methods Using single-blind method,120 cases of primary hepatocellular carcinoma admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Military Medical University from January 2023 to September 2023 were prospectively selected as the study subjects,and the patients were randomly(using the randomized numerical table method)included in the control group(60 cases)and the observation group(60 cases).During hepatic cancer resection,the control group was given 0.5 alveolar minimum effective concentration(MAC)sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia,and the observation group was given 1.0 MAC sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia,and both groups were observed for 3 d postoperatively.The perioperative related indexes,the sedation and quality of awakening in the immediate moment of extubation,15 min after extubation,and 30 min after extubation,the cognitive function before and at 1 and 3 d postoperatively,vital signs before induction of anesthesia,after induction of anesthesia,at the moment of intubation,at the end of surgery,immune function before and 1 d postoperative,and adverse reactions during the observation period were compared between the two groups.Results The time for extubation,recovery of spontaneous respiration,recovery of orientation,and awakening in the observation group were(11.25±1.69)min,(9.76±1.34)min,(69.23±3.35)min,and(10.13±1.43)min,and the control group were(14.57±2.28)min,(13.55±2.76)min,(73.44±4.52)min,(14.26±2.25)min,all of which were shorter in the observation group than in the control group(P＜0.05).The Ramsay sedation score at the immediate moment of extubation was(4.16±0.22)in the observation group,and(3.21±0.10)in the control group;the standardized(Aldrete)score in the awakening room of the observation group at the immediate moment of extubation,and 15 min after extubation were(9.56±0.12)and(9.77±0.20),respectively,and the control group was(9.02±0.13),respectively,(9.05±0.17)points;the scores of the brief mental state examination(MMSE)scale in the observation group were(26.23±1.12)points and(25.17±0.98)points in the control group in the 1 d postoperative period,which were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The heart rate(HR)at the moment of intubation and at the end of operation in the observation group were(73.08±4.10)beats/min,(75.27±6.03)beats/min,and the mean arterial pressure(MAP)was(81.56±4.49)mmHg and(86.07±5.48)mmHg,respectively,and in the control group the HR was(75.47±5.78)beats/min,(77.91±6.79)beats/min,and the MAP was(85.22±5.08)mmHg and(88.25±6.01)mmHg in the observation group,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The whole blood natural killer(NK)cells,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+in the observation group at 1 d postoperatively were(35.62±5.54)％,(50.09±3.32)％,and(1.42±0.25),the control group were(24.12±4.09)％,(43.17±4.20)％,and(1.20±0.19),the observation group was higher than the control group(P＜0.05);whole blood CD8+was(26.55±3.02)％in the observation group and(28.71±4.45)％in the control group,the observation group was lower than the control group(P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions during the observation period was 16.67％in the observation group and 5.00％in the control group,which was higher than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with 0.5 MAC sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia,1.0 MAC sevoflurane combined with propofol target-controlled infusion anesthesia had less effect on hemodynamics and immune function in patients undergoing resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma,and it could improve the quality of patients'awakening,cognitive function,and promote postoperative recovery,and the anesthesia was more effective,but it had more adverse effects.

Objective:To explore the short-term clinical effects of deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).Methods:A prospective exploratory study was conducted on the treatment of AD patients using the cervical deep lymph node-venous anastomosis technique in Scar and Wound Treatment Department, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from September to October 2024. The patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound to locate deep cervical lymph nodes and the external jugular vein. Under general anesthesia, bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses were performed. Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography was conducted via subcutaneous injection behind the ear to visualize lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. After making a skin incision along the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the external jugular vein, internal jugular veins, and associated lymph nodes were exposed. Adjacent veins were selected for anastomosis of lymph node. Using microsurgical techniques, end-to-side or end-to-end anastomosis was completed for lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Preoperative assessments included the mini-mental state examination (MMSE, a higher score indicates better cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog, a higher score indicates greater impairment of cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease cooperative study scale for activities of daily living (ADCS-ADL, a higher score indicates better ability to perform daily activity), and neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI, a higher score indicates more severe behavioral and emotional symptom). Postoperative follow-up included the same scales to observe changes in cognitive function, activities of daily living, and emotional communication.Results:Four patients (1 male, 3 females, aged 58-79 years) with AD were included. All were diagnosed based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. All patients successfully underwent bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses. On average, 4.3 (2-7 per person) anastomoses were performed per patient. Surgical procedures lasted an average of 6.5 h (5.5-8.5 h) with minimal blood loss (less than 50 ml). Patients resumed normal activity within 6 hours postoperatively and were discharged after an average of 4.1 d (3.5-5.0 d). Postoperative complications included one case each of aspiration pneumonia, lower limb venous thrombosis, and transient delirium, all of whom resolved without long-term effects. Clinical symptoms, including memory decline, mood swings, and anxiety, showed varying degrees of improvement. Patients reported enhanced quality of life, emotional stability, and social engagement, confirming the procedure’s safety and potential cognitive benefits. At one month postoperatively, the MMSE scores of the four patients increased by an average of 0.8 points compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, the two patients who completed the ADAS-Cog assessments showed a decrease in their scores (reduced by 1.0 points and 11.3 points, respectively, compared to preoperative scores), indicating a certain degree of improvement in cognitive function during this period. The ADCS-ADL and NPI scores of four patients varied significantly, without showing any clear pattern.Conclusion:Lymphovenous anastomosis of the deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis may provide a new surgical intervention approach for AD, but further large-scale studies and long-term follow-up are needed to validate its safety and effectiveness.
