Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:This study employed a cross-sectional design. The data of 91 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology who underwent DLCT enhanced scanning in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2022 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into LVI positive group and LVI negative group according to the postoperative pathology. Gender, age, smoking status, and lesion location were recorded,the clinical T-stage and N-stage were evaluated. Spectral base data images were generated based on the spectral reconstruction algorithm. Conventional CT features such as the size and density of the lesions were analyzed. The DLCT quantitative parameters such as 40 keV single-energy CT value (CT 40 keV), iodine density (ID), standardized iodine density (NID), and effective atomic number (Z eff) were measured. The differences of parameters between the two groups were compared using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI. The predictive performance of individual parameters and their combinations for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) measurements. Results:There were significant differences in age, T stage, N stage, maximum diameter, focal density, and arteriovenous stage NID and Z eff between the LVI positive group and the LVI negative group ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=0.890, 95% CI 0.821-0.966), N stage( OR=12.721, 95% CI 2.676-60.473) and venous stage Z eff( OR=0.012,95% CI 0-0.668) were independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI ( P<0.05). The combination of age, N stage, and venous-phase Z eff values demonstrated the highest predictive efficacy for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma, with an AUC of 0.916. Conclusions:The quantitative parameters of DLCT are helpful for preoperative prediction of LVI status of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. The Z eff in the venous stage is an independent predictor, the combination of multiple parameters can further improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective:To analyze the clinical significance of high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) positive female cervical lesion screening HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA detection.Methods:A total of 80 HR-HPV-positive female patients with cervical lesions were retrospectively selected in Dingzhou People′s Hospital from August 2021 to August 2023. According to the pathological examination results, the patients were divided into inflammatory response group (16 cases), cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅰ group (15 cases), CINⅡ group (22 cases), CINⅢ group (17 cases) and cervical cancer group (10 cases). The viral load and positive rate of HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA in the five groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA in cervical lesions.Results:The viral load of HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA in the cervical cancer group, CINⅢ group, CINⅡ group, CINⅠ group and inflammatory response group was gradually decreased: 3 152.62(894.26, 21 986.24), 812.62(465.05, 3 945.06), 481.64(215.62, 2 451.49), 38.62(0, 612.47), 0(0, 316.28) × 10 3 copy/L, there was statistical difference among the five groups ( P<0.05). The positive rate of HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA in cervical cancer group (10/10) was higher than that in CINⅢ group (10/17), CINⅡ group [27.27%(6/22)], CINⅠ group (2/15) and inflammatory response group (0), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve of HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA for diagnosis of cervical lesions was 0.901(95% CI 0.837 - 0.942), sensitivity was 92.53%, specificity was 89.12%. Conclusions:Quantitative detection of HR-HPVE6/E7 mRNA viral load has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of cervical lesions.

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 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 predictive value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral CT(DLCT)for Ki-67 expression in solid lung adenocarcinoma.Methods The data of 103 patients were retrospectively collected,and the patients were divided into Ki-67 high expression and Ki-67 low expression groups according to Ki-67 proliferation index.The quantitative parame-ters of DLCT were measured and calculated,and the differences in these parameters between the two groups were compared.The parameters with statistically significant differences were assessed for correlation with Ki-67 expression.The efficacy of DLCT param-eters and combined parameters in predicting Ki-67 expression in solid lung adenocarcinoma were evaluated by receiver operating character-istic(ROC)curve and compared by DeLong test.Results Long diameter,short diameter and smoking history were positively corre-lated with the Ki-67 expression in solid lung adenocarcinoma(r>0,P<0.05).Gender and quantitative parameters of DLCT were nega-tively correlated with the Ki-67 expression in solid lung adenocarcinoma(r<0,P<0.05).The combined parameters of convention and spectral CT had the highest prediction efficiency.Conclusion The quantitative parameters of DLCT can be used to evaluate the Ki-67 expres-sion in solid lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preoperative anxiety on the consciousness and autonomic nervous activity during propofol anesthesia.Methods:This study was a secondary analysis of data from the clinical trial in a prospective single-arm study. One hundred and thirty patients, aged 18-65 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-27.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification I or Ⅱ, scheduled to receive propofol anesthesia, were selected from the Second People′s Hospital of Lianyungang. The six-item of the state anxiety inventory (SAI) of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to assess the anxiety of patients 1 h before surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the cut-off value of 12: obvious anxiety symptom (SAI score >12) group (group A, n=49) and no obvious anxiety symptom (SAI score ≤12) group (group B, n=81). After admission to the operating room, the patient was required to hold a 50 ml syringe filled with water. Propofol was given by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the target plasma concentration set at 5 μg/ml. When the effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol increased to 3.5 μg/ml (all the patients lost consciousness), the closed-loop TCI was used to maintain BIS value between 45 and 55. The patients were monitored for 20 min after stopping the pump infusion (anesthesia recovery period). The disappearance time of verbal command, disappearance time of eyelash reflex, time of syringe dropping, recovery time of verbal command, recovery time of eyelash reflex, Ce at the recovery of verbal command, Ce at the recovery of eyelash reflex, Ce within the first 5 min of the closed-loop TCI, and consumption of propofol during anesthesia were recorded. The peripheral perfusion index, low frequency power and high frequency power of heart rate variability were recorded, and the ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power was calculated. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between preoperative SAI score and consciousness-related indicators, simulated Ce of propofol and consumption of propofol. Results:Compared with group B, the disappearance time of verbal command, disappearance time of eyelash reflex, and time of syringe dropping were significantly prolonged, the consumption of propofol, simulated Ce at recovery of verbal command and within the first 5 min of closed-loop TCI were increased, the peripheral perfusion index was decreased at each time point before administration and at 14-20 min of anesthesia recovery, and the low-frequency power was decreased during anesthesia maintenance in group A ( P<0.05). The SAI score was positively correlated with the disappearance time of verbal command ( r=0.220, P=0.012), time of syringe dropping ( r=0.206, P=0.029), consumption of propofol ( r=0.330, P<0.001), and the simulated Ce at the recovery of verbal command ( r=0.215, P=0.015) and simulated Ce at recovery of eyelash reflex ( r=0.207, P=0.022). Conclusions:Preoperative anxiety may lead to prolonged loss of consciousness and more marked inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity during propofol anesthesia.

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.
