Objective To understand the surveillance situation of poliovirus in Guangzhou from 2011 to 2024, and to further strengthen polio surveillance and ensure the continued maintenance of a polio-free status. Methods An analysis was conducted on the discovery and investigation results of six cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) detected in Guangzhou. Results A total of 6 VDPV incidents were reported in Guangzhou from 2011 to June 2024, among which 5 incidents were from sewage sample testing in the Liede Sewage Treatment Plant in Guangzhou, all of which were confirmed as VDPV, with 1 for type I, 1 for type II, and 3 for type III. In addition, one confirmed HFMD case was identified as a type VDPV II carrier. No presence of any wild poliovirus (WPV), VDPV cases, or circulating VDPV (cVDPV) was reported. Conclusion Guangzhou City has maintained a high level of vigilance and effectiveness in the monitoring and prevention of polio. Continuously strengthening the construction of the polio monitoring network, optimizing vaccination strategies, and comprehensively improving public health awareness are still the focus of the prevention and control work in the future.

China Occupational Medicine 2025;52(4):386-392
Objective To explore the genotoxicity of lead on DNA damage and the repair role of homologous recombination repair protein RAD51 in lead-induced DNA double-strand breaks in TK6 cells. Methods i) TK6 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into five groups: blank control group, low-dose group, medium-dose group, high-dose group, and positive control group. The first four groups were treated with lead acetate at concentrations of 0, 120, 240 and 480 μmol/L, respectively. The positive control group was treated with 100 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide solution incubated on ice for 24 hours. After the positive rate of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) was detected by immunofluorescence. Cell proliferation was detected by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU) method. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, and the relative expression of RAD51 protein was detected by Western blotting. ii) A short hairpin RNA (shRNA) silencing RAD51 model was constructed in TK6 cells, and the cells were divided into untreated group (normal TK6 cells), negative control group (sh-NC), and RAD51 silencing group (sh-RAD51). The mRNA expression of RAD51 was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the protein expression of RAD51 was detected by Western blotting to verify the interference effect. iii) Normal TK6 cells, sh-NC, and sh-RAD51 were treated with 480 μmol/L lead acetate for 24 hours, and were divided into lead treatment group, lead+negative control group, and lead + RAD51 silencing group, respectively. Untreated normal TK6 cells was served as the control group. The positive rate of γ-H2AX and the expression of RAD51 protein in each group was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting, respectively. Results i) With the increase of lead acetate treatment concentration in TK6 cells, the positive rate of γ-H2AX increased (all P<0.05), the proportion of EDU positive cells decreased (all P<0.05), and the proportion of S-phase cells decreased (all P<0.05). The proportion of G1-phase cells in the high-dose group and the positive control group was higher than those in the low- and medium-dose groups (all P<0.05). The proportion of G2-phase cells in the medium-dose group, high-dose group, and positive control group increased compared with the blank control group (all P<0.05), although no significant differences were observed among these three dosing groups (all P>0.05). The apoptosis rate and the relative expression of RAD51 protein of TK6 cells in each group increased with the increase of lead acetate concentration (all P<0.05). ii) The relative expression levels of RAD51 mRNA and protein in the RAD51 silencing group were lower than those in the untreated group and the negative control group (all P<0.05) after RAD51 silencing. iii) The positive rate of γ-H2AX in the lead + RAD51 silencing group increased (all P<0.05), and the relative expression of RAD51 protein decreased (all P<0.05),compared with the control group, lead treatment group, and lead + negative control group. Conclusion Lead exposure induces DNA double-strand breaks in TK6 cells, inhibits cell proliferation, and causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a dose-effect manner. Downregulation of the RAD51 gene can lead to inhibition of the homologous recombination repair pathway, thereby increasing the TK6 cell sensitivity to lead-induced DNA damage.

Objective:To introduce the method of using anal fistula endoscope to treat chronic sinus tract leakage at rectal anastomosis site.Methods:We used anal fistula endoscopy to treat a patient with chronic sinus tract leakage after radical resection of rectal cancer, mainly including the following 5 steps: (1) establishing a water injection circulation system through the anus; (2) scraping off purulent coating and mucosa on the surface of the sinus tract with the brush; (3) hemostasis and removal of necrotic tissue with electrocoagulation rods; (4) filling the sinus tract with bioprotein gel; (5) compressing the sinus tract with transanal drainage tube.Results:The patient is a 70 year old male with rectal cancer. After undergoing 3D laparoscopic assisted radical resection of rectal cancer via abdominal anterior resection (Dixon's procedure) and diverting ileostomy surgery for more than 3 months, leakage of the rectal anastomosis was found through colonoscopy and anal iodine water contrast imaging .The patient started eating and flowing juice 6 hours after surgery, got out of bed 24 hours after surgery, and was discharged 48 hours after the removal of the anal canal. Three months after surgery, colonoscopy and transanal iodine hydrography showed that the sinus repair was intact. The diverting ileostomy was reduced 4 months after surgery.Conclusion:Anal fistula endoscope is safe and feasible for the treatment of chronic sinus tract anastomotic leakage in selected patients.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of scrub typhus disease and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of scrub typhus disease. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the population and regional distribution of scrub typhus. Seasonal characteristics were analyzed using concentration method and circular distribution method, and incidence trend was analyzed using joinpoint regression model. Results The annual incidence rate of scrub typhus was 0.95/100 000 from 2010 to 2022. The incidence rate of male was 0.77/100 000, lower than that of female 1.12/100 000 (χ2=18.89, P<0.05). The incidence rate of the 60-74 years old group was 3.38/100,000, and the total number of cases in the age group 45-74 years was 416 (74.95%). Occupational distribution was mainly among farmers, with 448 cases (80.72%). The top three regions with the highest number of reported cases (in order: Donghai County, Ganyu District, and Guannan County) reported a total of 416 cases, accounting for 74.95%. Concentration ratio was M=0.9408, and the incidence of scrub typhus disease was strictly seasonal. Circular distribution results showed a-=-62.3728, S=20.8960. The circular distribution results indicated that the peak day was October 19th, and the peak period was between October 7 to December 19. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) of the incidence rate from 2010 to 2022 was 13.70%, 95% CI (-8.62%~41.48%), and the incidence rate showed an upward trend (t=1.15, P=0.249). Conclusion The incidence of scrub typhus disease is strictly seasonal, and the incidence rate over the years shows an upward trend. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring and take various intervention measures to reduce the risk of scrub typhus disease.

AIM: To investigate the effects of hypobaric hypoxia in plateau on tear indexes and related anatomical structures in rabbits.METHODS: A total of 18 healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into plateau group and control group, with 9 rabbits(18 eyes)in each group. The plateau group was housed in the Simulated Climate Cabin for Special Environment of Northwest of China, simulating hypobaric hypoxia at an altitude of 6 000 m. The control group was housed in a clean animal room with atmospheric pressure and oxygen. Changes in the tear meniscus height and non-invasive tear break-up time were detected by using RHCT-1 corneal topographer dry eye comprehensive analysis system, changes in tear secretion was measured by Schirmer Ⅰ test, before intervention and on the 3, 7 d, 2 and 4 wk. Meanwhile, the changes in tear composition before and after intervention in the plateau environment were analyzed using Raman Spectroscopy. The histopathological changes of the lower lid conjunctiva, cornea, lacrimal gland, and Hardarian gland were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining after 4 wk of intervention, and the expression of mucin 5AC(MUC5AC)in conjunctiva was detected by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: Compared with the control group, Schirmer Ⅰ test, tear meniscus height, first and average non-invasive tear break-up time in the plateau group decreased significantly since 3 d, and the difference was significant with the extension of observation time(P<0.05). The above indexes increased from 2 wk. After 4 wk of intervention, the protein and lipid content of the tear composition of rabbits in the plateau group increased, and the nucleic acid content decreased compared with the pre-intervention period. Compared with the control group, rabbits in the plateau group showed thickening of corneal stromal edema, an increase in the number of conjunctival cup cells, increase in the level of expression of MUC5AC, an increase in the level of expression of MUC5AC, an atrophy and flattening of cytoplasm in lacrimal epithelial cells, an enlargement of glandular lumen, and no obvious destructive changes in the Hardarian glands.CONCLUSION: Acute plateau environment can destroy the homeostasis of rabbit ocular surface, so that the tear secretion and the tear film stability decreases, but within a certain period of time, rabbits undergo compensation with the habituation to the hypobaric hypoxia environment, which can increase the tear secretion to a certain extent and restore the tear film stability.

Objective:To explore the age of onset and consultation, the main clinical manifestations, common types of combined malformations, the relationship of endometriosis, surgical prognosis and different types of proportion of adolescent female reproductive system dysplasia.Methods:The medical records of 356 patients (aged 10-19) with female reproductive system dysplasia in Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 2003 to August 2018 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 356 adolescent dysplasia patients, uterine dysplasia (23.6%, 84/356), oblique vaginal septum syndrome (OVSS; 22.5%, 80/356) and vaginal dysplasia (21.6%, 77/356) were the most frequent ones, followed by multi-sectional dysplasia (16.0%, 57/356), other types of developmental abnormalities like external genitaliaand urogenital fistula (13.5%, 48/356) and Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome; 2.8%, 10/356). (2) There were significant differences between the median age of onset and the age of consultation of patients with OVSS and other types of abnormalities except hymen atresia (both P<0.05). In contrast, there were no significant differences between the age of onset and the age of consultation of the patients of uterine dysplasia, vaginal dysplasia, hymen atresia, MRKH syndrome and multi-sectional dysplasia (all P>0.05). (3) The clinical manifestations were lack of specificity, and mainly abnormal finding was lower abdominal pain. (4) After admission, the majority of patients underwent comprehensive cardiopulmonary examination (71.3%, 254/356) and urinary system examination (63.5%, 226/356). Only 18.3% (65/356) of patients had completed abdominal organ examination, and 5.9% (21/356) skeletal system examination. About other systemic malformations, urological malformations were the most common (27.5%, 98/356), followed by anorectal malformation (0.6%, 2/356), heart malformations (0.3%, 1/356), and spinal malformations (0.3%, 1/356). 46.4% (84/181) of the surgical patients were diagnosed with combined endometriosis. Patients with obstructive genital tract malformations were more likely to combine with endometriosis than non-obstructive ones [50.3% (74/147) vs 29.4% (10/34); P<0.05]. However, there was no significant difference between the severity of endometriosis of those two kinds ( P>0.05). (5) Totally 308 patients were followed up successfully with a median of 25.0 years old, and 20 cases were treated again; 12.0% (37/308) of them were suffering from menstrual disorder and 33.1% (102/308) of them with dysmenorrhea. Totally 130 patients had sexually active reported no sexual problems. Conclusions:Uterine dysplasia, OVSS and vaginal dysplasia are the most common syndromes in adolescent female reproductive system dysplasia along with frequent cases of coexisting urinary malformations and increasing risks of endometriosis. Meanwhile, the lack of specificity of clinical manifestations might delay the timely diagnosis and treatment after the onset of symptoms. Nonetheless, most patients could achieve good surgical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the professional identity status of nursing students in higher vocational colleges in Shanghai, China, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:By cluster sampling, we selected 308 nursing students of grade 2019 from a higher vocational college in Shanghai for a survey with the General Information Questionnaire, Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nurse Students (PIQNS), Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6 (SPS-6), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), Workplace Social Capital (WSC), and Nurse Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive analysis, the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results:The total PIQNS score of the students was (64.93±12.83), the total SPS-6 score was (15.91±4.40), the total WLEIS score was (80.57±15.52), the total WSC score was (32.38±6.33), and the total PCQ score was (95.47±18.63). The PIQNS score was negatively correlated with the SPS-6 score ( r=-0.282, P<0.01), positively correlated with the WLEIS score ( r=0.712, P<0.01), positively correlated with the WSC score ( r=0.659, P<0.01), and positively correlated with the PCQ score ( r=0.681, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that personal interest, emotional intelligence, and psychological capital significantly affected the professional identity of nursing students, entering the regression equation for professional identity. Conclusions:The professional identity of higher vocational nursing students in Shanghai is at a medium level, and personal interest, emotional intelligence, and psychological capital are the main factors influencing professional identity.
