Osteonecrosis of the mandible is also called avascular necrosis of the jaw, and it is a rare complication of bisphosphonates. It is characterized with pain, swelling, exposure of bone, local infection and pathologic fractures of the jaw. With the widespread usage of bisphosphonates in bone metastasis of malignant tumors and osteoporosis, this rare complication has received more attention in recent years. Here, we reported a case of bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) caused by intravenous zoledronic acid for osteoporosis. A 62-year-old female patient with 7-year history of Sjögren's syndrome and 3-year history of osteoporosis developed BRONJ after 3-year treatment of zoledronic acid. Two months before she went to the Peking University International Hospital, she visited the dentist for periodontal purulent secretion and extracted one tooth from the right mandible. However, the condition was not improved and she felt persistent pain and swelling in the right mandible. Hence, she received repeated root curettage, but there was no improvement. Finally, she was diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the mandible based on the digital volume tomography scan, which showed right mandibular osteonecrosis bone destruction. She underwent surgical debridement of the necrotic bone and administered intravenous antibio-tics at the Peking University International Hospital. Histopathological analysis of the bone biopsy further confirmed the diagnosis of BRONJ. Her condition was improved successfully during a 3-year follow-up. Osteonecrosis of the mandible become more common with the increased use of bisphosphonates. Recent study has reported that osteonecrosis of the mandible is more likely to occur in patients with Sjögren's syndrome. In addition, age, long-term and irregular administration of glucocorticoids, irregular oral examination and treatment also might be the risk factors in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis of the mandible. For the elder osteoporosis patients who would receive or had received bisphosphonate-related drugs, oral health status and the disease states associated with necrosis of the mandible such as Sjögren's syndrome should be comprehensively measured and fully evaluated during the whole process. Furthermore, to better understand and prevent or reduce the occurrence of this complication, we reviewed the patho-genesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of BRONJ.

Objective:To construct and validate a predictive model for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 252 patients with early non-small cell lung cancer admitted to the 926th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2016 to January 2018were retrospectively collected. All of the patients underwent surgical treatment and they were followed up for 5 years after surgery, according the recurrence after surgery, they were divided into the recurrence group (103 cases) and non- recurrence group (149 cases). The risk factors for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients were analyzed. A predictive model for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients was constructed and validated.Results:The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that tumor long diameter≥ 3 cm, lymph node metastasis, low differentiation, spicules and pleural traction were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer patients ( P<0.05). Using R4.0.3 statistical software, the dataset was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set, with a sample size of 176 cases in the training set and 76 cases in the validation set. A prediction model was constructed, with thearea under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.754 (95% CI 0.679 - 0.828) in the training set and AUC of 0.749 (95% CI 0.634 - 0.864) in the validation set. The model was subjected to a Hosmer-Lemeshow Goodness-of-Fit Test in the validation set, χ2 = 11.31, P = 0.185. Conclusions:The predictive model base on tumor long diameter ≥ 3 cm, lymph node metastasis, low differentiation, spicules and pleural traction can identify patients at high risk of postoperative recurrence in early non-small cell lung cancer effectively.

Objective　To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of varicella infectious diseases in Hainan Province from 2014 to 2023, and explore the epidemic patterns of varicella in Hainan Province. Methods　Download data related to chickenpox in Hainan Province from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System and the Public Health Emergency Management System of the Chinese Disease Control and Prevention Information System, descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the incidence characteristics of varicella; ARIMA model was used to predict the incidence trend. Results　From 2014 to 2023, a total of 65 832 cases of varicella and one death case were reported in Hainan, with an average annual incidence rate of 66.50/100 000, and the incidence rate fluctuated between 47.31/100 000 and 89.01/100 000. A incidence rate peak occurred every other year. The incidence of varicella showed a seasonal bimodal distribution, with peaks in January and April. The incidence of varicella was negatively correlated with temperature (r=-0.349，P<0.05). Children aged 0-14 years were the main incidence group, and the incidence rate reached its peak in the age group of 5-6 years. Students and young children were the main groups affected by the disease. The incidence rate of male (68.15/100 000) was higher than that of female (62.22/100 000)(χ2=16.80, P<0.05). The incidence rate of male (68.15/100 000) was higher than that of female (62.22/100 000). The 1 dose vaccination rate for 1-year-old children was on the rise, reaching a maximum of 43.2%; The two doses vaccination rate for children aged 4-6 years has been increasing year by year, with the highest reaching 9.9%. A total of 65 cases of varicella PHEE were reported, with M(P25, P75) of 24 (18, 32) cases per case, and a total incidence rate of 2.64%. Primary schools were the main places of occurrence. The ARIMA model has a good predictive fitting effect, and the results show that the predicted incidence in 2024 will increase compared to 2023. There may be peaks in incidence in January to June and October to December. Conclusions　The incidence rate of varicella is high in Hainan Province; A lower vaccination rate for varicella in children cannot break the natural prevalence of varicella among healthy children.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune inflammation index for the efficacyof neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer patients, and analyzed the relationship between pathological complete response (pCR) and prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 146 patients with triple-negative breast cancer admitted to the 926th Hospital of the Joint Service Support Force of the PLA from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. All patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the patients were divided into pCR group (62 cases) and non-pCR group (84 cases) according to whether the patients achieved pCR. Pathological characteristics and systemic immunoinflammatory index levels of the two groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of systemic immunoinflammatory index for pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, and survival curves were drawn to compare the disease-free survival of the two groups.Results:The rate of axillary lymph node metastasis in pCR group was lower than that in non-pCR group: 37.10% (23/62) vs. 64.29% (54/84), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 10.58, P<0.01). There were no significant differences in TNM stage, Ki-67 level and histological grade between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the non -pCR group, the systemic immune inflammation index in the pCR group was significantly reduced: 617.42 ± 166.40 vs. 853.67 ± 202.41, P<0.01. Systemic immune inflammation index was valuable in predicting non-pCR of triple negative breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the area under the curve was 0.807 (95% CI: 0.738 - 0.875, P<0.01). Compared with the non-pCR group, the disease-free survival of patients in the pCR group was significantly prolonged ( P = 0.033). Conclusions:Systemic immune inflammation index was related to the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer patients, and can be used as a biological indicator to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the cognition and nursing needs of patients with urinary incontinence after prostate cancer surgery on "Internet+ nursing service", so as to provide basis for the implementation of high-quality continuous nursing service.Methods:According to the phenomenological research method, 15 patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy in the Urology Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Ningbo University from October to December 2021 were selected as the research object by intentional sampling method. Semi-structured interview was used to collect data, and Colazzi method was used to sort out, analyze and refine the subject.Results:The patients' awareness of "Internet+ nursing service" was biased. Many factors affected the willingness of patients with urinary incontinence to use "Internet+ nursing service". Factors that promoted willingness to use included public health emergency, traffic, physical and psychological factors. Factors impeding willingness to use included information security, operational and economic factors. The need for the content of "Internet+ nursing service" included the need for rehabilitation treatment related knowledge and supportive relationships. The need for "Internet+ nursing service" included the need to establish a "circle of friends" to obtain support from patients, the need for "online consultation, offline nursing", and the need to enrich the form of health education.Conclusions:The medical and nursing staff should give full play to the role of "Internet+ nursing service", and according to the characteristics of patients with urinary incontinence, enrich the "Internet+ nursing service" in the form of combination of graphics and text, video games, punch card interaction, to meet the needs of patients in rehabilitation training, doctor-nurse communication, patient support and other aspects, while strengthening the convenience of the operation of "Internet+ nursing service" and the timeliness of the service, so as to promote the rapid development of "Internet+ nursing service".

Objective:To clarify the M protein ( emm gene) types and drug susceptibility characteristic variations of Group A Streptococcus (GAS) in children in Beijing. Methods:The GAS strains isolated from throat swab samples of children diagnosed with scarlet fever and pharyngeal infection in scarlet fever etiology surveillance sentinel hospitals in 16 districts of Beijing in 2018, 2019 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.PCR amplification and sequencing were used for emm genotyping, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 10 antibiotics were determined by the broth microdilution method.The data were analyzed using χ2 test and Fisher′ s exact method between groups. Results:A total of 557 GAS strains were collected, and 11 emm genotypes ( emm1, emm3, emm4, emm6, emm11, emm12, emm22, emm75, emm89, emm128, and emm212) were detected.Of 557 strains, 238 trains were of emm1 type (42.73%), 271 strains were of emm12 type (48.65%) and 48 strains were of other emm types (8.62%). The detection rates of emm1, emm12 and other emm type genes in 2018, 2019, and 2021 were [37.50% (105/280 strains), 57.14% (160/280 strains), 5.36% (15/280 strains)], [49.05% (129/263 strains), 39.54% (104/263 strains), 11.41% (30/263 strains)], and [28.57% (4/14 strains), 50.00% (7/14 strains), 21.43% (3/14 strains)], respectively.In children infected with emm12 in 2018 and 2019, there were more children under 6 years old than children over 6 years old (62.50% vs.46.88%, 46.36% vs.30.36%) (χ 2=7.182, 6.973; all P<0.05). Drug susceptibility testing results suggested that 225 randomly selected GAS strains were all 100.00% sensitive to 7 antibiotics including Penicillin, Levofloxacin, Meropenem, Linezolid, Cefotaxime, Cefepime and Vancomycin.The rates of resistance to Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Clindamycin were [88.57% (93/105 strains), 87.62% (92/105 strains), 86.67% (91/105 strains)], and [94.34% (100/106 strains), 94.34% (100/106 strains), 87.74% (93/106 strains)] in 2018 and 2019, respectively.The test strains were 100.00% (14/14 strains) resistant to the above 3 antibiotics in 2021.MIC 50 and MIC 90 values of Penicillin in 2018, 2019, and 2021 were (0.03 mg/L, 0.03 mg/L), (0.03 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L), and (0.06 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L), respectively.Among 225 GAS strains, 207 strains had drug resistance and were resistant to more than one drug.Specifically, 94.69% (196/207 strains) were resistant to Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Clindamycin.About 4.35% (9/207 strains) were resistant to both Erythromycin and Clindamycin.A total of 0.97% (2/207 strains) were resistant to Erythromycin and Tetracycline. Conclusions:The emm genotypes of GAS in children in Beijing are diverse in 2018, 2019 and 2021.The dominant genotypes are emm12 and emm1, and emm12 is the main epidemiological type.GAS strains maintain highly resistant to Erythromycin, Clindamycin and Tetracycline, and sensitive to Penicillin and other antibiotics.However, MIC 50 and MIC 90 of Penicillin shows an ascending trend.

Objective:To explore the self-management trajectory of patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) , in order to provide better guidance for disease self-management of patients with PCI.Methods:From April to December in 2019, a total of 15 patients with PCI who were treated and followed up in a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Harbin and a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Tianjin were selected as the research objects. All 15 patients were interviewed and recorded. Then the records were transcribed and analyzed with open coding, axial coding and selective coding according to the grounded theory put forward by Strass and Corbin, to identify the categories and core category.Results:The core category of disease self-management of patients undergoing PCI was "crisis-conscious path of PCI patient self-management", that was, the path of PCI patient self-management presented a dynamic process with the change of disease risk cognition. When patients were aware of the disease risk, they would enter the path of active health management, and when patients were unaware of the disease risk or risk cognition declines, they would enter the path of ignoring the disease self-management.Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to and strengthen the early postoperative risk awareness education of PCI patients; quantify patients' cognitive needs of health education and give targeted health education intervention measures; strengthen supervision and management outside the hospital, and establish the concept of lifelong self-management for patients.

A 65-year-old female patient with chronic renal failure undergoing continuous hemodialysis received an IV infusion of cefmenoxime 1 g twice daily for acute pancreatitis. The values of prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were within the normal range before treatment. After 11 days of treatment, the patient developed multiple ecchymoses on the skin and bleeding from the venipuncture site which was not easily stopped. The reexamination of coagulation function showed PT 127 s, INR 10.72, and APTT 86 s. Coagulation dysfunction was considered and an IV infusion of leukocyte-reduced fresh-frozen plasma 150 ml was given. Examination of coagulation function next day showed PT 101 s, INR 8.49, and APTT 65 s. Mixing study for evaluation of abnormal coagulation testing showed that PT and APTT could be corrected, suggesting coagulation factor deficiency. Blood coagulation disorders caused by cefmenoxime was considered. Then the drug was discontinued and switched to amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium, and a subcutaneous injection of vitamin K 1 10 mg was given once daily. Three days after the drug withdrawal, her coagulation function returned to within the normal range (PT 15 s, INR 1.19, APTT 36 s).
