Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2023, so as to provide the reference for strengthening SFTS prevention and control. Methods: Data on laboratory-confirmed SFTS cases in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected through the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Meteorological data, geographic environment and socioeconomic factors during the same period were collected from the fifth-generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Geospatial Data Cloud, and Zhejiang Statistical Yearbook, respectively. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of SFTS from 2019 to 2023, and a Bayesian spatio-temporal model was constructed to analyze the influencing factors of SFTS incidence. Results: A total of 578 SFTS cases were reported in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2023, with an annual average incidence of 0.23/105. The peak period was from May to July, accounting for 52.60%. There were 309 males and 269 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.15∶1. The cases were mainly aged 50-<80 years, farmers, and in rural areas, accounting for 82.53%, 77.34%, and 75.43%, respectively. Taizhou City and Shaoxing City reported more SFTS cases, while Shaoxing City and Zhoushan City had higher annual average incidences of SFTS. The Bayesian spatio-temporal interaction model showed good goodness of fit. The results showed that mean temperature (RR=1.626, 95%CI: 1.111-2.378) and mean wind speed (RR=1.814, 95%CI: 1.321-2.492) were positively correlated with SFTS risk, while altitude (RR=0.432, 95%CI: 0.230-0.829) and population density (RR=0.443, 95%CI: 0.207-0.964) were negatively correlated with SFTS risk. Conclusions SFTS in Zhejiang Province peaks from May to July. Middle-aged and elderly people and farmers are high-risk populations. Taizhou City, Shaoxing City, and Zhoushan City are high-incidence areas. Mean temperature, mean wind speed, altitude, and population density can all affect the risk of SFTS incidence.

The high incidence of bleeding after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization increases the risk of puncture site infection and unplanned extubation. Hemostatic dressings should be used in the early stages of catheterization to reduce blood infiltration. However, new hemostatic dressings have various types and advantages, which makes them difficult to choose dressings for medical staff. This paper introduces the types and hemostatic characteristics of novel functional hemostatic dressings, reviews the hemostatic mechanism and hemostatic effect of chitosan, cyanoacrylate gum, alginate, gelatin sponge and oxycellulose dressings in PICC puncture respectively, and prospects the development of new functional hemostatic dressings. It is expected that future hemostatic dressings will move towards multifunctionality and compositeness.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous cuff compression in improvement of forearm hematoma in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods A total of 94 patients with coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction in the hospital from September 2021 to September 2024 were selected as research objects,and they were divided into control group and ob-servation group according to the random number table method,with 47 cases in each group.The control group adopted a customized sphygmomanometer combined with a conventional cuff for intermit-tent compression of the forearm hematoma,and the observation group adopted a customized sphygmo-manometer combined with a double-balloon hollow cuff for continuous compression of the forearm he-matoma.The cyanosis of the hand,wrist skin temperature,numbness and swelling of the hand,the forearm painand heart rate during the cuff compression of the hematoma,as well as the arm circumfer-ence and cuff secondary compression,and direct nursing time of the patients after releasing the cuff compression were compared between the two groups.Results During the period of cuff compression of hematoma,the cyanosis of hand,wrist skin temperature,numbness and swelling of hand,the fore-arm pain and heart rate of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.05);after releasing the cuff compression,the arm circumference and cuff secondary compression and direct nursing time of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Application of customized sphygmomanometer combined with double-balloon hollow cuff for continuous compression of forearm hematoma can improve patient's comfort degree and cuff compression effect,and reduce nursing workload.

Objective:To study the epidemic characteristics and healthcare-seeking behavior of dengue fever cases in Zhejiang Province, and to provide a scientific basis for developing dengue fever prevention and control strategies.Methods:Data on dengue fever epidemic in Zhejiang Province from January to December 2024 were collected from the Information System for China Disease Control and Prevention and individual case reports. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the distribution by the three dimensions (time, region, and population), healthcare-seeking behavior, importation sources, and laboratory test results of dengue fever cases in Zhejiang Province.Results:From January to December 2024, Zhejiang Province reported a total of 289 dengue fever cases (including 25 foreigners), with an incidence rate of 0.44/100 000, including one severe case and no death, and 13 were local, 108 were domestically imported, and 168 were internationally imported. The epidemic had affected 70 districts (counties, cities) across all 11 cities in the province. Cases were reported monthly, with the peak incidence concentrated from July to November. The age of dengue fever cases was 38 (30, 48) years old, ranging from 2 to 75 years old, with a higher incidence in the 30 - 39 age group (31.14%, 90/289). The male-to-female ratio was 1.86 ∶ 1.00 (188 ∶ 101). Occupational distribution was predominantly commercial service workers (28.03%, 81/289). The number of healthcare-seeking for local cases was 2 (1, 2) times, ranging from 1 to 6 times. The number of healthcare-seeking for imported cases was 1 (1, 2) times, ranging from 1 to 4 times. The interval between the onset and diagnosis of local cases was 3.5 (1.0, 5.0) days, ranging from 0 to 6 days. The interval between the onset and diagnosis of imported cases was 3(1, 4) days, ranging from 0 to 6 days. Domestically imported cases originated from Guangdong Province (102 cases), Yunnan Province (3 cases), Hunan Province (1 case), with 2 cases had unknown original provinces. Internationally imported cases mainly came from Indonesia (33 cases), Thailand (22 cases), Laos (18 cases). Serotyping of dengue virus was determined for 283 cases, with 157 cases of type Ⅰ, 88 cases of type Ⅱ, 34 cases of type Ⅲ, and 4 cases of type Ⅳ.Conclusions:The dengue fever cases in Zhejiang Province in 2024 is primarily international importation, the interval between the onset and diagnosis of local cases is relatively long. Prevention and control efforts should strengthen surveillance and early warning based on dengue fever's epidemic characteristics, and reinforcing port quarantine, mosquito vector control, and health education for high-risk populations.

Objective·To observe the impact of hip synovitis on the long-term outcomes of free vascularized fibular grafting(FVFG)for osteonecrosis of femoral head(ONFH).Methods·Between October 2001 and December 2013,370 patients diagnosed with ONFH(556 hips)underwent FVFG.Preoperative synovitis was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and quantified with the Hip Inflammation MRI Scoring System(HIMRISS).Patients were divided into no synovitis group,moderate synovitis group,and severe synovitis group.Harris hip scores and the incidence of total hip arthroplasty were collected with an average follow-up duration of 90.5 months(range:5-215 months).Hip survival failure(defined as a Harris hip score lower than 80 at the final follow-up or the occurrence of total hip arthroplasty)was calculated.Multivariable Cox regression analysis was adopted to compare the influence of different degrees of synovial inflammation on long-term prognosis.Results·The proportion of hip survival failure was 28.0％in patients without synovitis and 28.5％in those with moderate synovitis,whereas it was significantly higher(60.4％)in patients with severe synovitis.The results of multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that severe synovitis was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis(HR 2.06,95％CI 1.21-3.53)after adjusting for age,gender,education level,marital status,ONFH type,affected side of ONFH,smoking history,baseline Harris hip score and other hip MRI-based covariates(collapse,bone marrow edema,and degeneration).Conclusion·Severe synovitis in patients with ONFH significantly increases the failure rate of hip preservation after FVFG,and the severity of synovitis should be considered in surgical decision-making.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.
