ObjectiveTo establish the self-reported core outcome set (COS) for patients with an example of a community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion for primary hypertension (PH), to provide a reference for the selection of effectiveness evaluation indicators in community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion. MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to collect outcomes used in randomized controlled trials and systematic review of heat-sensitive moxibustion for PH (Jan 2021), and additional outcomes were added through patient and expert questionnaires (Feb 2021) to create a pool of outcome entries. A multidisciplinary expert Delphi survey was conducted to screen outcomes applicable to patient self-reporting (Apr 2021), and the importance of outcome indicators was rated on a 5-Point Likert Scale. Finally, patient self-reported COS was determined through a consensus conference (June 2021). ResultsA pool of patient self-reported indicators in the community study of heat-sensitive moxibustion treatment for PH was generated by standardizing and combining the outcome indicators based on the results of the literature search and the questionnaire survey, which consisted of totally 100 measurement tools or contents, excluding 51 indicators or measurement tools required measurement by specialized physicians or hospital equipment, and 49 items were retained to enter the initial list of indicator entries. For the first round of Delphi survey, the mean score for expert familiarity was 0.819, the mean score for basis of judgment was 0.710, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.765, with a total of 21 indicator measurement tools or contents deleted (significance score ≤ 75 or coefficient of variation > 0.25), 28 retained, and 3 new expert-added indicator entries added. In the second round of Delphi survey, the average score for expert familiarity was 0.859, the average score for basis for judgment was 0.763, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.811, with a total of 11 indicator measurement tools or contents deleted and 20 retained involving 5 domains. Following an expert consensus meeting, 8 outcome indicators were finalized for inclusion in the patient self-reported COS, including 6 indicators of effectiveness evaluation such as quality-of-life scores, blood pressure, traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores, cost-benefit, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and adverse reactions/events, and 2 indicators of factors influencing effectiveness such as sensation of heat-sensitive moxibustion, and adherence. ConclusionIn this study, we initially established a criteria for evaluating the effectiveness in the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion by constructing patient self-reported COS in the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion for PH, which can provide a scientific research paradigm for the subsequent development of the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion.

With the rapid development of network technology, live surgery has become the new way of surgery teaching. However, the issue of patient privacy protection caused by live surgery has received widespread attention. Based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper constructed an evolutionary game model from the three-party perspectives of doctors, patients, and government and analyzed the game behaviors of the three parties in the process of live surgery. Matlab software was utilized to conduct dynamic simulation and numerical simulation analysis. It was found that the factors affecting the choice of doctors’ strategies included protection costs, the cost of privacy leakage, the benefits of protection, high-traffic benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of patient strategies encompassed surgical costs, the risk of privacy leakage, additional benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of government strategies embodied regulatory costs and the improvement of credibility. To realize a win-win situation among doctors, patients, and the government, the three parties need to work together to ensure that patient privacy is not violated and find a balance between expanding the influence of medical education and protecting patient privacy.

Objective To understand the characteristics of occupational noise hazards in key industries in Huizhou City. Methods A total of 247 enterprises from 13 key industries in Huizhou City were selected as the research subjects using the stratified judgment sampling method. The worksite survey of occupational health and workplace noise intensity and spectrum monitoring were conducted at key work sites using "questionnaires and on-site inspections" method. Results The rate of noise intensity exceeding national standards was 53.4% (132/247). The median, 25th and 75th percentile of noise pressure levels in workplaces and worksites were 85.1 (81.2, 91.2)and 82.5 (78.8, 86.3) dB(A), respectively. The high-noise workplaces accounted for 50.0% (479/958). The rate of noise intensity exceeding national standard at work sites was 32.9% (303/921). The sound pressure level of noise at work sites was positively correlated with sound pressure level of noise sources (Spearman correlation coefficient=0.73, P<0.01). The top three high-risk work sites for exceeding national noise standards were grinding, frame nailing, and material cutting, with exceedance rates of 84.6%, 81.3%, and 62.8%, respectively. The frequency characteristics of the top ten high-risk work sites were mainly high-frequency noise. There were significant differences in noise spectrum characteristics among different workpiece materials used in similar types of work sites (all P<0.05), though high-frequency noise remained dominant. Conclusion Noise hazards in workplaces of key industries in Huizhou City are relatively severe. Continuous attention should be given to key work sites with high over-standard rate, such as grinding, frame nailing, and material cutting, and noise control strategies should be developed based on frequency spectrum characteristics.

Background and Aims:Colorectal cancer(CRC)has a complex pathogenesis,and current treatments remain limited in efficacy for advanced metastatic disease.Dasatinib is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown potential antitumor activity in various solid tumors.This study aimed to evaluate the causal relationships between dasatinib-related target genes and CRC based on genetic variation,and to explore the mediating role of immune cells,thereby providing genetic epidemiological evidence for the prevention and targeted therapy of CRC.Methods:Dasatinib-related target genes were identified through DrugBank,and the corresponding eQTLs,GWAS data for CRC(ebi-a-GCST90018808),and 731 immune-cell traits were obtained from the IEU OpenGWAS database.A two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)framework with a two-step mediation approach was applied:first,to assess the causal relationship between dasatinib target genes(as exposures)and CRC;second,to evaluate the causal effects between target genes and immune cells,as well as between immune cells and CRC;and finally,to calculate the proportion of mediated effects.Wald ratio,inverse-variance weighted(IVW),MR-Egger,MR-PRESSO,Cochran's Q,I2,and leave-one-out analyses were used to examine heterogeneity,horizontal pleiotropy,and robustness.Results:MR results showed that dasatinib-associated inhibition of ABL1 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of CRC(OR=0.511 0,95%CI=0.323 1-0.808 0,P=0.004 1).Inhibition of YES1 was also associated with decreased CRC risk(IVW OR=0.889 9,95%CI=0.811 6-0.975 8,P=0.013 1),with no evident heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy among the corresponding SNPs.Further analysis revealed that dasatinib-related inhibition of YES1 significantly reduced the levels of IgD-CD24-AC level(OR=0.818 0,95%CI=0.678 2-0.986 7,P=0.035 7),and this immune cell subset itself was identified as a risk factor for CRC(OR=1.105 7,95%CI=1.029 6-1.187 5,P=0.005 7).Mediation analysis indicated that IgD-CD24-AC accounted for-9.89%and 17.31%of the mediation effects in the ABL1→CRC and YES1→CRC pathways,respectively.Conclusion:Genetic evidence from MR suggests dasatinib-target genes ABL1 and YES1 are causally linked to reduced CRC risk,with IgD-CD24-AC partially mediating the YES1-related protective effect.These findings point to immune-mediated mechanisms underlying dasatinib's potential influence on CRC risk;further experimental validation and replication across populations are warranted.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of medical damage liability disputes involving breach of the duty to inform in China, analyze the factors influencing the types of medical staff’s breach of the duty to inform, and explore the notification problems of medical staff in clinical practice. On these foundations, suggestions were proposed to improve the performance of the duty to inform and reduce medical disputes. MethodsUsing public cases from the China Judgements Online as the data source, the relationship between risk points and types of breach of duty to inform was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of the types of breach of the duty to inform, and qualitative research summarized the specific contents of breach of the duty to inform. ResultsThere were differences in the effects of factors, including whether the patient was hospitalized, whether surgery was performed, whether Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment was required, the level of the medical institution, and whether a consultation occurred, on the types of breach of the duty to inform (P<0.05). Whether surgery was performed was an influencing factor for the types of breach of the duty to inform. Qualitative research showed that the contents of breach of duty to inform primarily involve risk, treatment plan, and deficiencies in disease notification. ConclusionStrengthening the performance of the medical staff’s duty to inform should mainly focus on the medical side, coordinating with multiple parties and taking measures to improve the performance of the duty to inform, to reduce unnecessary medical disputes.
