ObjectiveTo investigate and manage an imported dengue fever (DF) outbreak in Shanghai in 2024, to summarize the experience and lessons learned from the on-site management, and to provide a reference basis for future prevention and control of DF. MethodsEpidemiological investigation and case search were carried out for an imported DF outbreak in Shanghai, 2024. Real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect dengue virus nucleic acid in the serum samples from cases. Meanwhile, emergency vector surveillance and mosquito control measures were carried out in the affected areas, and the effectiveness of the management was evaluated. ResultsAccording to the epidemiological investigation, it was confirmed that this epidemic was a family cluster of imported DF, with both cases infected in Thailand and developed symptoms successively after returning to Shanghai. Laboratory testing identified the pathogens as dengue virus serotype-3 (DENV-3). In the core and precautionary area, ultra-low-volume space spraying and residual spraying were combined to kill adult mosquitoes, and at the same time, comprehensive cleaning and elimination of mosquito breeding sites was carried out. After 2 weeks, the Breteau Index (BI) in the core area decreased from 20 to 5, and the mosquito net trap index decreased from 2 mosquitoes (net·hour)^-1 to 0.67 mosquitoes (net·hour)^-1. Continuous implementation of mosquito control measures kept the BI and net trap index below the safety thresholds [BI<5 and mosquito net trap index <2 mosquitoes (net·hour)^-1] both in the core and precautionary area. ConclusionEarly diagnosis and isolation of patients, combined with rapid suppression of the density of vector Aedes mosquitoes, are the key measures to prevent the transmission of imported DF cases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between single and combined exposure to arsenic （As）， mercury （Hg）， and cadmium （Cd） in urine and hearing loss in adults. MethodsA total of 400 adult patients were recruited for the study， comprising 200 participants in the normal hearing group and 200 in the hearing loss group. General demographic information of the study subjects was collected by a self-administered questionnaire， morning urine samples were tested for As， Hg， and Cd concentrations， and hearing status was assessed by Pure Tone Audiometry. A binary Logistic regression model was used to explore the association between the concentrations of the three metals in urine and hearing loss， and a Bayesian kernel-machine regression （BKMR） model was used to further explore the association between the concentrations of the three metal mixtures and hearing loss. ResultsAfter correction for urinary creatinine， As， Hg， and Cd concentrations were higher in the hearing loss group than those in the normal hearing group （P<0.05）. Binary Logistic regression indicated that concentrations of As， Hg， and Cd were positively associated with hearing loss， and the risk of hearing loss was significantly higher in the second quartile of Cd concentration compared to the first quartile （OR=2.000， 95%CI： 1.009-3.964）. BKMR modeling analysis showed that the combined exposure levels of As， Hg， and Cd significantly increased the risk of hearing loss， with Cd being the most important contributor （posterior inclusion probability=0.412）， and that there were potential interactions between As and Cd， and Cd and Hg. ConclusionCombined exposure to As， Hg， and Cd in urine is significantly associated with adult hearing loss， with Cd being the primary contributor in the exposure combination. The interactions between As and Cd， as well as Cd and Hg， may have adverse effects on hearing loss.

Objective To construct a database for molecular mass spectra of toxins and drugs in order to facilitate the management and retrieval of mass spectra for nerve agents,metabolites and other small molecules.Methods Requirement analysis and functional design were performed using software engineering methods.The Spec2Vec algorithm was used for vector representation of mass spectra,while SMILES molecular structures were vectorized using the extended connectivity fingerprint(ECFP).A data storage model integrating structured information and vector representations was established using the Milvus database.Similarity search of mass spectra and molecular structures was conducted via vector similarity comparison and the FlashEntropySearch algorithm.Results The constructed database of mass spectra encompassed over 400,000 entries from such sources as OCAD,NIST,MASSBANK,metabolic products,and natural products of TCM,which was capable of searching for similarities in mass spectra and molecular structures.On a standard server,similarity search of mass spectra took no more than 5 seconds,while that of molecular structures took no more than 1 second.Conclusion The system enables efficient management of complex mass spectra and provides rapid retrieval and comparison of mass spectra-related information through advanced vector indexing technology,offering robust data support and research tools for toxicology and pharmacology.

Objective To analyze the prevalence status of cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) and its aggregation among workers engaged in new forms of employment. Methods A total of 5 429 new employment workers (including couriers, online food delivery workers, and ride hailing drivers) who underwent health medical examinations at a tertiary hospital in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. Data on waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were collected to analyze their CMRF [central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and their aggregation (with ≥ 2 of the above 5 risk factors) status. Results The detection rates of central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C were 61.2%, 38.2%, 29.5%, 40.9% and 22.6%, respectively. The detection rates of CMRF aggregation was 57.8%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male, age ≥45 years, smoking, overweight, and obesity were risk factors for CMRF aggregation (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of CMRF and its aggregation among workers with new forms of employment in Beijing City is relatively high. Targeted prevention and control efforts should be strengthened for high-risk populations, especially males, workers aged ≥45 years, smokers, and those who are overweight or obese.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of reversible ischemic edema on cranial CT after mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation acute large vessel occlusive stroke(ALVOS).Methods A total of 142 patients with anterior circulation ALVOS who underwent mechanical thrombectomy in the First Hospital of Jiaxing from June 2022 to July 2024 were selected as research subjects.According to the results of the postoperative cranial CT scan after mechanical thrombectomy,they were divided into irreversible ischemic edema group(120 cases)and reversible ischemic edema group(22 cases).The baseline clinical data of the patients were collected.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for reversible ischemic edema on cranial CT after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with anterior circulation ALVOS.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was constructed to evaluate its predictive value for reversible ischemic edema.Results The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.057,95％CI:1.018-1.102,P=0.005)and collateral circulation grade(OR=0.395,95％CI:0.186-0.769,P=0.010)were influencing factors for reversible ischemic edema on cranial CT after mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation ALVOS.ROC curve analysis results showed that age,collateral circulation grade and their combination had a certain predictive value for reversible ischemic edema on cranial CT after mechanical thrombectomy for anterior circulation ALVOS.The area under the curve(AUC)of age and collateral circulation grade was 0.664 and 0.715,respectively,and AUC of the combination was 0.785,the best cut-off value was 0.861,the sensitivity was 68.3％,and the specificity was 81.8％.Conclusion The low-density area in the ischemic region on cranial CT after mechanical thrombectomy for a small percentage of anterior circulation ALVOS may be reversible.Younger age and good collateral circulation compensation in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy are associated with reversible ischemic edema in postoperative cranial CT.

Objective:To develop the Amputation Scale for Severe Open Pelvic Fractures and explore its application value in patients with severe open pelvic fractures.Methods:A total of 27 patients with severe open pelvic fractures who underwent surgical treatment in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January 2010 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 15 males and 12 females, aged 38.6±11.6 years (range, 13-65 years). There were 13 cases of traffic injuries, 10 cases of fall from height injuries, and 4 cases of mechanical crushing injuries; 20 cases were admitted to the hospital in emergency, and 7 cases were transferred from other hospitals. All fracture types were Tile C, including 14 cases of Tile C1, 8 cases of Tile C2, and 5 cases of Tile C3. There were 16 cases of genitourinary system injury, 8 cases of anal or rectal injury, 12 cases of abdominal injury, 9 cases of chest injury, and 6 cases of craniocerebral trauma. The mangled extremity severity score (MESS) and the Amputation Scale for Severe Open Pelvic Fractures were used to evaluate whether amputation was performed. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of the two evaluation methods were calculated.Results:Among the 27 patients, 21 cases were treated with pelvic external fixator to control the volume, 16 cases were treated with gauze packing to stop bleeding, 8 cases were treated with temporary abdominal aorta occlusion, and 12 cases were treated with laparotomy because of abdominal injury. Seven of the 27 patients died, with a mortality rate of 26%. In 12 cases of one-stage amputation, 3 cases died, including 1 case died of multiple organ failure syndrome, 1 case died of gastrointestinal bleeding on the 7th day after amputation, and 1 case died of severe infection on the 4th day after amputation. Among the 15 cases of one-stage limb salvage, 4 cases died, of which 2 cases of second-stage amputation died of infection on the 5th day after one-stage limb salvage, and 1 case of one-stage limb salvage died of limb necrosis on the 3rd day after one-stage limb salvage. Two patients died of multiple organ failure syndrome. The MESS score of 27 patients was 6(6, 8) points (range, 6-13 points), and the Amputation Scale for Severe Open Pelvic Fractures score was 9.6±1.8 points (range, 6-14 points). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of MESS were 66.7%, 50%, 40%, 75% and 56%, respectively, while those of Amputation Scale for Severe Open Pelvic Fractures were 80%, 89%, 73%, 88% and 82%, respectively. The specificity and accuracy of MESS were significantly lower than those of Amputation Scale for Severe Open Pelvic Fractures ( P<0.05). All 20 patients who survived were followed up for 23.6±7.5 months (range, 11-37 months). Five cases had soft tissue infection at the stump of amputation, which were treated with debridement, and 3 cases underwent skin grafting, and the stump healed well at the last follow-up. Conclusion:The Amputation Scale for Severe Open Pelvic Fractures is better than MESS in the assessment of early amputation in patients with severe pelvic fractures.
