AIM: To investigate the influencing factors of stereoscopic function reconstruction after intermittent exotropia(IXT)surgery and the construction of a nomogram prediction model.METHODS:A total of 204 patients with IXT(all underwent strabismus correction surgery)admitted to our hospital from September 2021 to October 2023 were randomly divided into modeling group(143 cases)and validation group(61 cases). The patients in the modeling group were further divided into reconstructive group and non-reconstructive group according to whether they had stereoscopic function reconstruction after surgery; the general patient information was collected; Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed on the influencing factors of stereoscopic visual function reconstruction after IXT surgery. The nomogram model was constructed using R software. The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the distinction of the nomogram model. The decision curve analysis(DCA)was used to evaluate the clinical application value of the model.RESULTS:Reconstruction occurred in 50.5%(103 cases)of the 204 patients, and reconstruction occurred in 50.3%(72 cases)of the 143 patients in the modeling group. There were differences in age of onset, course of disease and postoperative horizontal strabismus between the reconstructive group and the non-reconstructive group(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age of onset and postoperative horizontal strabismus were risk factors for stereoscopic visual function reconstruction after IXT surgery(all P<0.05), and the course of disease was a protective factor(P<0.05). The AUC of the modeling group was 0.892, and the H-L test was χ2=6.654 and P=0.615. The AUC of the validation group was 0.935, and the H-L test was χ2=6.498 and P=0.642. The DCA curve showed that the clinical value of the nomogram model was higher when the probability was 0.09-0.95.CONCLUSION: The age of onset, course of disease and postoperative amount of horizontal strabismus are the influencing factors of stereoscopic visual function reconstruction after IXT surgery, and the nomogram model constructed by this can better predict postoperative stereoscopic function reconstruction.

ObjectiveTo analyze the composition of respiratory virus pathogen spectrum and epidemiological characteristics among adult influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in Putuo District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2024, to summarize the epidemic patterns of respiratory viruses across different time periods and populations, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of adult respiratory virus infections in Putuo District of Shanghai. MethodsSurveillance data of 2 273 adult ILI cases from sentinel hospitals under the comprehensive surveillance system for acute respiratory infections in Putuo District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2024 were retrospectively collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were adopted to analyze the temporal and population distribution characteristics of respiratory viruses, including influenza virus (IFV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (ADV), and human metapneumovirus (HMPV). The mixed infection status among different age groups was compared, and the distribution of influenza virus subtypes was described. SPSS 22.0 and WPS Office software were used for statistical analyses. ResultsThe overall detection rate of respiratory viruses in 2 273 adult ILI cases was 43.51%. The detection rate in females (45.48%) was significantly higher than that in males (41.25%), with statistical significance (χ²=4.113, P=0.043). Individuals aged 60 years old and above had the highest detection rate (47.41%) (χ²=8.430, P=0.014). The detection rates in winter (50.41%) and summer (48.42%) were higher than those in other seasons (χ²=47.028, P<0.001). The overall viral detection rate decreased after 2020 (χ²=208.411, P<0.001). Detection rates of various viruses varied by year, with IFV and ADV showing high rates from 2015 to 2019 (all P<0.001), while human coronavirus (HCoV) and rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/EV) exhibited higher rates from 2020 to 2022 (all P<0.001). Co-infection with IFV and HCoV was the most common, followed by co-infection with IFV and ADV, together accounting for 50.00% of all mixed infections. During the surveillance period, the detection rate of IFV was significantly higher than that of other respiratory viruses. Influenza B/Victoria lineage predominated in 2021, followed by successive predominance of influenza A(H1N1), A(H3N2), and the co-circulation of the two subtypes from 2022 to 2023. Influenza A(H1N1) re-emerged as the predominant subtype in the first half of 2024. ConclusionFrom 2015 to 2024, respiratory virus infections in adults prevailed in winter and summer, and people aged 60 years old and above were the key high-risk population. The detection rates of respiratory viruses declined after 2020. IFV was the predominant pathogen detected, and different influenza virus subtypes circulated alternately each year.

Objective To investigate lymphocyte interstitial infiltration condition and the changes of immune checkpoint gene expression in different stages of early esophageal cancer.Methods A ret-rospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 90 patients with early esophageal cancer.Based on the pathological depth of infiltration,they were divided into three types:T1a-M1,T1a-M2,and T1a-M3,with 30 cases in each type.Additionally,30 cases of paired normal mucosa tissues adja-cent to the cancer were selected.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe tissue morpholo-gy.Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of CD3,CD4,CD8,and CD20.Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was applied to measure the mRNA expression levels of immune checkpoint genes[programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1),cytotoxic T-lym-phocyte-associated protein 4(CTLA4),T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3(TIM-3),lympho-cyte activation gene 3(LAG3),programmed death receptor-1(PD-1),programmed death ligand-2(PD-L2),and T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains protein(TIGIT)].Results As the stage of early esophageal cancer progressed,the ratio of tumor cells to lymphocytes increased.The number of CD3+T cells was greater than that of CD20+B cells,and the proportion of CD4+T cells among total T cells was higher than that of CD8+T cells(P＜0.001).The mRNA expression levels of gene in immune checkpoints in patients were elevated(P＜0.05).Compared with normal adja-cent tissues,the expression levels of PD-L1 mRNA,CTLA4 mRNA,TIM-3 mRNA,PD-1 mRNA,and TIGIT mRNA were elevated in patients with T1a-M1,T1a-M2,and T1a-M3 types(P＜0.05).Compared with normal adjacent tissues,the expression levels of LAG3 mRNA and PD-L2 mRNA were increased in patients with T1a-M2 and T1a-M3 types(P＜0.05).Conclusion The progres-sion of early esophageal cancer staging is correlated with increased immune checkpoint gene expres-sion and a decreased lymphocyte ratio,suggesting that changes in the immune microenvironment may be involved in tumor progression.

Objective To understand the application of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)quality control indi-cators and current status of HAI management in primary medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and provide refe-rence and basis for primary medical institutions to improve HAI management quality and for health administrative departments to formulate HAI management relevant policies.Methods Data on HAI quality control indicators co-llected by Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center from the first batch of 62 pri-mary sentinel medical institutions in the province were analyzed.Results of on-site inspections and assessments of 20 institutions were summarized and analyzed.Results From July 2023 to May 2024,a total of 145 814 inpatients were monitored,219 patients had 220 episodes of HAI.The incidence and case incidence of HAI were both 0.15％,and the main HAI site was upper respiratory tract(40.45％).The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene were 81.34％(14.29％-100％)and 87.90％(18.46％-100％),respectively.The removal rate of surface pollu-tant from environmental objects was 77.24％(20.00％-100％),and the qualified rate of cleaning of device,appli-ances,and articles was 98.76％(10.00％-100％).The monitoring data records of quality control indicators in most primary healthcare institutions during on-site inspections didn't match the monthly data reported to the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center.Most healthcare workers in primary healthcare institutions lacked sufficient awareness and knowledge in infection prevention and control.Multiple HAI-related safety hazards existed in key departments of most primary medical institutions.Conclusion After nearly a year of continuous monitoring on HAI,the primary sentinel medical institutions have established their own data on the inci-dence of HAI.The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene,as well as the removal rate of surface pollu-tants from environmental objects are still relatively low in some medical medical institutions,and there is much room for improvement.There is still a significant gap in terms of HAI prevention and control in some primary medical in-stitutions when referring to the standards.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of virtual reality technology assisted early cardiac rehabilitation on exercise fear and self-efficacy after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and provide theoretical basis for constructing intelligent and personalized cardiac rehabilitation models.Methods:A prospective non-contemporaneous controlled study was conducted. One hundred and two CABG patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Naval Medical University were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into a control group (51 cases, from January to June 2024) and an experimental group (51 cases, from August to December 2024) according to their admission time, with July 2024 as the washout period. The control group received routine postoperative early cardiac rehabilitation intervention, while the experimental group received virtual reality technology intervention on the basis of the control group. The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-SV-Heart) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used to evaluate exercise fear and self-efficacy on the third day after surgery, one day before discharge, and one month after discharge, and the 6-minute walking distance was recorded at one day before discharge, and one month after discharge.Results:The control group consisted of 49 complete participants, aged (58.50 ± 5.88) years, with 26 males and 23 females, while the experimental group consisted of 48 complete participants, aged (60.31±6.58) years, with 30 males and 18 females. There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of exercise fear and self-efficacy between the two groups on the third day after surgery (both P>0.05). The exercise fear scores of the experimental group at one day before discharge and one month after discharge were (34.16 ± 5.76), (26.86 ± 4.52) points, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (37.95 ± 6.14), (33.71 ± 5.49) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.13, 6.70, both P<0.05). The self-efficacy scores of the experimental group at one day before discharge and one month after discharge were (30.78 ± 3.49), (32.42 ± 3.37) points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group (26.65 ± 4.21) , (26.54 ± 3.68) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=4.73, 8.25, both P<0.05). The 6-minute walking distance of the experimental group at one day before discharge and one month after discharge were (422.65 ± 74.32), (485.22 ± 76.84) m, respectively, which were longer than those of the control group (385.43 ± 68.17), (423.76 ± 62.75) m, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.57, 4.32, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Virtual reality technology can improve the fear of movement in patients after CABG surgery, enhance their self-efficacy, and simultaneously improve the 6-minute walking distance, providing a theoretical reference for the development of intelligent nursing measures after CABG surgery.

Background Manganese is an essential trace element for the human body and maintains normal development of many organs including the brain. However, long-term exposure to a high manganese environment or excessive manganese intake will lead to manganese poisoning and result in neurological diseases, and currently no effective treatment plan is available. Objective To develop an animal model for subchronic manganese exposure and assess the impact of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids (DNLA) on manganese associated behavioral and hippocampal effects in rats. Methods Fifty male SPF SD rats were randomly allocated into a control group (0.9% normal saline by intraperitoneal injection), two experimental groups [7.5 mg·kg⁻¹ (low) or 15 mg·kg⁻¹ (high) of MnCl₂·4H₂O by intraperitoneal injection], and two DNLA antagonistic groups [15 mg·kg⁻¹ MnCl₂·4H₂O by intraperitoneal injection then either 20 mg·kg⁻¹ (low) or 40 mg·kg⁻¹ (high) DNLA by oral administration]. All groups of rats were adminaistered 5 d per wek, once a day, for consecutive 13 weeks. Following modeling, neurobehavioral assessments were conducted using open field, Morris water maze, and Y maze. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was utilized to measure manganese levels in the blood and brain tissues of the rats, and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was employed to examine neuronal morphological changes in the hippocampal tissues of the rats. Results The neurobehavioral tests revealed that the manganese-exposed rats exhibited decreased total movement distance, prolonged central zone dwelling time, and reduced motor activity in the open field test, indicating tendencies toward depression and anxiety (P<0.05). In the Y-maze test, the mean exploration distance in the novel arm, the number of entries into the novel arm, and the time spent in the novel arm of the managanses-exposed rats were all reduced, while the latency period increased, suggesting impaired spatial exploration and learning-memory functions (P<0.05). In the Morris water maze navigation test, the escape latency was significantly longer in the manganese-exposed rats compared to the control group, and the number of platform crossings decreased in the spatial probe test, indicating a significant decline in spatial learning and memory (P<0.05). The ICP-MS analysis showed elevated manganese concentrations in the blood and hippocampus of the exposed rats (P<0.05), and the histopathological observation revealed hippocampal damage. Following the DNLA intervention, the manganese-exposed rats showed increased total movement distance and reduced central zone dwelling time in the open field test (P<0.05). In the Y-maze test, the mean exploration distance in the novel arm, the number of entries into the novel arm, and the time spent in the novel arm increased, while the latency period decreased, suggesting alleviation of anxiety and improved exploratory behavior (P<0.05). In the Morris water maze test, the escape latency gradually shortened, and both the number of platform crossings and the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant increased, indicating improved spatial learning and memory (P<0.05). Additionally, the manganese levels in the blood and hippocampus decreased (P<0.05), and the hippocampal pathological changes were partially restored. Conclusion DNLA demonstrates the ability to counteract multiple neurotoxic effects following the elevation of manganese levels in the blood and hippocampal tissues of rats induced by subchronic manganese exposure. Specifically, DNLA is shown to ameliorate the behavioral alterations observed in rats after manganese exposure, and mitigate the hippocampal damage in manganese-exposed rats.

Objective:To investigate factors influencing frequent episodes (≥ 4 episodes within 1 year) in children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China.Methods:A national multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients under the age of 18 years diagnosed with moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled at dermatology clinics in 18 medical institutions across 12 provinces and municipalities in China between June 12 and August 8, 2023. At the time of the visit, their guardians completed a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, clinical features of AD, personal and family history, factors associated with frequent episodes of moderate-to-severe AD, compliance with treatment, and disease awareness. Statistical analyses included t tests, one-way analysis of variance, rank-sum tests, and chi-square tests, with multiple-response analysis applied for multiple-choice questions. Results:A total of 965 valid questionnaires were collected, and 965 children with moderate-to-severe AD were included. Among them, there were 531 males and 434 females, 678 (70.3%) were aged 2 - < 12 years, 837 (86.7%) were from urban areas, the age at onset was 2.47 ± 3.03 years, and the median frequency of AD episodes in the past year was 4 times. These children were divided into 2 groups based on the median episode frequency: < 4-episode group (439 cases, 45.5%) and ≥ 4-episode group (526 cases, 54.5%). Compared with the < 4-episode group, children in the ≥ 4-episode group showed younger ages at onset (2.22 ± 2.98 years vs. 2.76 ± 3.06 years, P = 0.006) and higher proportions of patients with comorbid allergic diseases in both the children themselves (82.9% [436/526] vs. 69.7% [306/439], χ2 = 23.42, P < 0.001) and their relatives (66.0% [347/526] vs. 57.4% [252/439], χ2 = 7.46, P = 0.006). Children in the ≥ 4- episode group also had higher monthly usage of moisturizers (150 [30, 300] g vs. 60 [6, 200] g) and daily frequency of moisturizer use, greater disease awareness, but more severe fear of medication use (all P < 0.05). The region and the human development index level were both significantly associated with the episode frequency (both P < 0.001), with the highest proportion of children from South China in the ≥ 4- episode group (36.3%, 191/526). Children in the ≥ 4-episode group also had a longer duration of topical glucocorticoid use than those in the < 4-episode group ( Z = -2.21, P = 0.027). External triggers associated with AD episodes mainly included heat exposure (50.36%, 486/965), hot water bathing (40.73%, 393/965), seafood (23.52%, 227/965), and dust mites (33.37%, 322/965) . Conclusion:In children with moderate-to-severe AD in China, factors influencing frequent episodes may include residence in southern or economically developed regions, earlier age at onset, having a personal or family history of allergic diseases, and fear of medication use.

Objective To construct a knowledge graph of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)prevention and control course,and evaluate its usability.Methods Based on the constructivist learning theory and the analyze-de-sign-develop-implement-evaluate(ADDIE)model,knowledge from various sources such as books,guidelines,and literature related to HAI prevention and control were integrated.The knowledge graph of HAI prevention and con-trol course were designed and constructed with the support of knowledge graph technology in Chaoxing Fanya plat-form.Thirty medical students were selected by convenience sampling method to try out the course knowledge graph.System usability scale and usage effect questionnaire were filled out to evaluate the usability of the knowledge graph.Results The knowledge graph of HAI prevention and control course contained 379 knowledge points asso-ciated with 520 test questions and 56 learning resources.After testing,the total score([70.50±12.20]points)was obtained for the usability of the knowledge graph.Among the four dimensions of the usage effect agreement ques-tionnaire,satisfaction,learning attitude,learning ability,and learning resource support accounted for 93.33％-96.67％,90.00％,93.33％-96.67％,and 83.33％-90.00％,respectively,with a high overall satisfaction rate.Conclusion The knowledge graph of HAI prevention and control course has good usability,which can realize students'personalized independent learning and improve their learning efficiency.

Objective To explore the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room,and analyze the causes.Methods Targeted surveillance was per-formed on patients in emergency rescue room and observation room of a tertiary first-class hospital in Xuzhou City from January 1 to December 31,2023 using prospective survey method.HAI,antimicrobial use,as well as invasive procedures and related infection rates were analyzed.Results The incidence of HAI in 540 patients was 0.19％(n=1),and the daily incidence of HAI was 0.54‰(1/1 841).The utilization rates of invasive ventilators,central ve-nous catheters,and indwelling urinary catheters were 6.79％(125/1 841),1.09％(20/1 841),and 2.93％(54/1 841),respectively.The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia,central line-associated bloodstream infec-tion,and catheter-associated urinary tract infection were 8.00‰(1/125),0(0/20),and 0(0/54),respectively.Pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial treatment was 99.22％(382/385).Conclusion The incidence of HAI in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room is low,the retention time of patients in rescue room is short,and pathogen detection of specimens before antimicrobial treatment is high.Patients in emergency rescue room and observation room are at high risk of HAI.It is necessary to carry out targeted surveillance on HAI to re-duce its incidence.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of quality of life in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) .Methods:From January to July 2024, convenience sampling was used to select TAO patients of the Department of Ophthalmology of Peking University Third Hospital as research subjects. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life Questionnaire (GO-QOL), Negative Physical Self Scale-Appearance (NPSS-A), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between GO-QOL scores and NPSS-A, SAS, SDS, and PSSS scores. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the quality of life of TAO patients.Results:A total of 234 questionnaires were distributed, and 203 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 86.75%. The GO-QOL visual function and social function dimensions scores of 203 TAO patients were [78.57 (50.00, 100.00) ] and [43.75 (18.75, 62.50) ], respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, eye movement disorders, eyelid retraction, and disease grading, were the influencing factors of the visual function dimension of GO-QOL ( P<0.05). Age, social support, and body image were the influencing factors on the social function dimension of GO-QOL ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The quality of life of TAO patients is poor. Healthcare professionals should develop coping strategies based on factors affecting different dimensions of quality of life, so as to improve patients' quality of life.
