Chongqing Medicine 2025;54(1):219-223
Autoimmune thyroid disease(AITD)is a disease in clinical work,which is developed by the combined action of immune dysfunction and environmental abnormalities and other factors based on the genet-ic factor.In recent years,with the continual improvement of living level,people are more concerned about their health,the detection rate of AITD has increased.Studies find that the occurrence of AITD is closely related to the abnormal immunity mediated by T lymphocytes.As an organ-specific disease,AITD mainly includes Graves'disease(GD)and Hashimoto thyroiditis(HT).Selenium is an essential trace element in human body.In recent years,it has been found that the selenium preparations are involved in immune regulation,and have the functions for maintaining immune homeostasis,improving chronic inflammation and alleviating im-mune disorders of thyroid tissue.This paper reviews the research progress on the effects of selenium on AI-TD,aiming to provide the new ideas for the prevention and treatment of AITD.

Objective To investigate whether exposure pathways influence the distribution pattern and toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics(PSNPs)in hepatic cells.Methods Male C57BL/6J wild-type healthy mice aged 6 to 8 weeks old and weighed 18 to 22 g were administered with PSNPs via gavage or tail vein injection.Then,we tracked PSNPs distribution in the major organs of mice via an in vivo imaging system(IVIS).After that,we analyzed the cellular accumulation patterns in hepatic cell subpopulations(hepatocytes and Kupffer cells)using immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).300 nm PSNPs were administered via gastric gavage or tail vein injection,and 70 nm PSNPs were injected via the portal vein.The cellular localization of PSNPs in the liver was analyzed using immunofluorescence.Subsequently,using AML-12 cells,a normal mouse liver cell line,as the parenchymal hepatocyte model,the uptake of PSNPs in AML-12 cells was analyzed by confocal laser scanning microscope(CLSM).Flow cytometry was performed to observe and quantify PSNPs uptake,and to analyze the underlying endocytosis mechanisms.IVIS was used to analyze PSNPs uptake features in vivo.Finally,using mouse macrophage line RAW264.7 as a Kupffer cell model and AML-12 cells as a parenchymal hepatocyte model,the cell-type-specific toxic effects induced by 100 μg/ml PSNPs were examined through transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses.Results IVIS revealed predominant hepatic accumulation of PSNPs regardless of exposure pathways via intragastric gavage or tail vein injection.Immunofluorescence/TEM demonstrated exposure pathway-dependent cellular distribution:intragastric PSNPs were localized mainly in hepatocytes,while intravenous PSNPs were accumulated in Kupffer cells.Changes in particle size(300 nm vs.70 nm)did not alter the cellular distribution pattern,while 70 nm PSNPs injected via the portal vein accumulated in Kupffer cells,which suggested that the cell-type-specific distribution of PSNPs in the liver was independent of PSNPs size and might be related to the transport of PSNPs in the gastrointestinal tract.Flow cytometry showed that PSNPs uptake by AML-12 was time-dependent and that the underlying endocytosis mechanism involved pathways mediated by clathrin(P<0.000 1),macropinocytosis(P=0.002 6),and lipid rafts(P<0.000 1).Findings on PSNPs distribution in blood revealed that the uptake of PSNPs by hepatocytes exhibited a rate saturation phenomenon.Multi-omics analysis identified distinct toxicity patterns:PSNPs disrupted lipid metabolism and neurotransmitter homeostasis in AML-12 cells and induced inflammation and oxidative stress in Kupffer cells.Conclusion Exposure pathways mediate the hepatic cell-type-specific distribution of PSNPs,thereby altering the downstream toxicological consequences induced by exposure to PSNPs.

Objective:To explore the relevant factors affecting the accuracy of scanning glucose monitoring (FGM) technology in critically ill patients.Methods:A total of 53 patients who were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and used FGM glucose monitoring from September 2022 to December 2023 were selected by means of a convenience sampling method. The paired data of arterial blood glucose and FGM glucose were analysed. The accuracy of FGM blood glucose measurement in critically ill patients was evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis. The blood glucose data were divided into two groups: the FGM monitoring accuracy group and the FGM monitoring non-accuracy group.. The t-test and χ2 test were used for the comparison of one-way analysis of arterial versus FGM accuracy among critically ill patients with different demographic characteristics. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing the accuracy of FGM. Results:The results of Bland-Altman analysis of the 53 patients indicated that the mean bias value of FGM blood glucose was elevated at 1.215 mmol/L in comparison with arterial-blood gas analysis blood glucose values. An incidence of exceeding the upper and lower limits of the range was observed, amounting to 6.349%. The discrepancy between the studies was found to be statistically significant (95% CI:1.0394~1.3908, P<0.001). The effects of the changes in height ( OR=0.877, 95% CI:0.780~0.987, P=0.029), changes in leukocyte counts( OR=0.917, 95% CI:0.868~0.969, P=0.002), changes in C-reactive protein( OR=1.009, 95% CI:1.002~1.017, P=0.016), changes in albumin counts( OR=0.986, 95% CI:0.974~0.999, P=0.031), and whether or not sepsis ( OR=3.937, 95% CI:1.192~13.008, P=0.025) on the accuracy of FGM had a statistically significant. Conclusion:The mean bias value of the accuracy of FGM was relatively higher compared with that of arterial blood gas analysis blood glucose values, and the influencing factors involved height, white blood cells, C-reactive protein, albumin, and whether or not sepsis was present. With the development of science and technology, applying the FGM system to critically ill patients has an absolute advantage in determining the overall glycemic trend, and the application value of FGM technology deserves further study.

Objective:
To explore the association of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep with depressive symptoms among middle school students, so as to provide a reference for improving mental health of middle school students.
Methods:
In accordance with the cluster random sampling method, a total of 18 484 middle school students in Shanghai were surveyed from September to November 2022. Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and sleep duration with depressive symptoms were assessed using the relevant scale items included in the questionnaire of Surveillance for Common Disease and Health Risk Factors among Students. The χ 2 test was used for inter group comparison, Logistic regression analysis and likelihood ratio test were used to analyze the independent and aggregated associations of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet use and insufficient sleep wiht depressive symptoms.
Results:
Self reported rates of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage, insufficient sleep and depressive symptoms among adolescents were 14.7%, 73.5% and 16.3%, respectively. Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage ( OR=2.69, 95%CI =2.44-2.97) and insufficient sleep ( OR=1.76, 95%CI =1.58-1.95) were associated with depressive symptoms ( P <0.05). Compared to middle school students with no tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and sufficient sleep, those with both tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep showed the higher rate of depressive symptoms ( OR=4.71, 95%CI =4.08-5.44, P <0.05). Further stratified analysis results showed that, compared to the boys and the high school students, the separate and joint association of tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep with depressive symptoms were more pronounced in the girls and the middle school students [ OR (95% CI ) for tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage were 3.09 (2.68-3.56) and 4.74 (3.86-5.83), respectively; OR (95% CI ) for insufficient sleep were 1.86 (1.60-2.17) and 2.00 (1.58-2.53), respectively; and the OR (95% CI ) for the joint association were 6.05 (5.01-7.31) and 9.15 (6.98-11.99), respectively, P <0.05].
Conclusions
Tobacco/alcohol-excessive Internet usage and insufficient sleep are associated with depressive symptoms in middle school students. Prevention and control strategies for adolescent mental health should be developed with consideration of health related behaviors, and also need to be tailored by focusing on gender and grade differences.

Objective:Distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogen isolated from children with intra-abdominal infection (IAI) associated sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) were analyzed to provide a reference for the empirical anti-infective treatment of IAI in children.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the data of 116 children with culture-positive IAI-associated sepsis admitted to Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2019 to December 2021. Clinical isolation and drug resistance analysis were conducted based on different years of onset, locations of onset, and primary diseases.Results:A total of 186 strains of pathogens causing children with IAI-associated sepsis in ICU were collected. The distribution and antibiotic resistance of pathogen were as follows: the percentages of gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and fungi were 53.2%, 40.9%, and 5.9%, respectively; the top four strains were Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis, accounting for 57.0% of all isolates; Enterococcus faecium(19.9%) and Enterococcus faecalis (10.2%) were the dominating gram-positive bacteria; Escherichia coli (13.4%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.4%) were more common gram-negative bacteria; Fungi were dominated by Candida albicans (3.8%).Fifty-seven strains of gram-positive bacteria were detected in 61 children with infectious diseases, mainly Enterococcus faecium (28 strains). There were 53 gram-negative strains, mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae (21 strains). Thirty-two strains of gram-positive bacteria were detected in 40 children with digestive tract malformation, and Enterococcus faecalis (six strains) were the most common. There were 14 gram-negative strains, mainly Escherichia coli (six strains). In 13 children with malignant tumors of digestive system, nine strains of gram-positive bacteria were cultured, and Enterococcus faecium (four strains) was the most common. There were eight gram-negative strains, mainly Escherichia coli (four strains).In the 46 community-acquired IAI patients,30 gram-positive isolates were cultured,mainly including Enterococcus faecium (12 strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis (seven strains), and Viridans streptococci (six strains); Forty gram-negative isolates mainly contained Escherichia coli (16 strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14 strains), and Enterobacter cloacae (five strains). In the 70 hospital-associated IAI patients, 69 gram-positive isolates such as Enterococcus faecium (25 strains), Enterococcus faecalis (17 strains), Enterococcus gallinarum (eight strains), and Staphylococcus aureus (seven strains) were cultured;Tirty-six gram-negative isolates were dominated by Klebsiella pneumoniae (11 strains), Escherichia coli (nine strains), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (four strains), and Acinetobacter baumannii (four strains). The mixed infection rate of clinical pathogens was up to 46.6%, and the overall resistance rate was 43.4%, in which gram-negative bacteria had high sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, imipenem, and tigecycline.The detection rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases were 36.0% and 24.6%, respectively, with 100% sensitivity to tigecycline. Gram-positive bacteria showed 100% sensitivity to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. Conclusion:Pathogen isolated from children with IAI-associated sepsis in ICU were dominated by Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis,respectively. Before confirmation of pathogenic bacteria, antibacterial agents can be selected according to the infection type. It is important to note that a single broad-spectrum antibacterial agent or combination medication can be considered the initial empirical choice due to the large variety of pathogens, high rates of mixed infections, and high overall resistance.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To evaluate the residual risk (RR) of transfusion transmitted HIV (TT-HIV) after the implementation of nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) in blood screening test among blood centers in China.Methods:The data of blood donors and HIV infection markers from 2017 to 2020 were collected from 28 blood centers via the Platform of Comparison of blood establishments Practice in Chinese Mainland. The new infection rate/window period mathematical model was used for two types of blood screening strategies, namely, two rounds ELISA plus individual NAT take turn with pooling NAT (2ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT) and two ELISA plus one round pooling NAT (2ELISA+ MP-NAT), and the RR of HIV infection was estimated also based on first donors (FDs) and repeated donors (RDs) in different blood donation years. T-test analyses were conducted for comparing TT HIV RR among FDs and RDs in different blood donation years with two blood screening strategies, and the variation trend of RR in HIV test was observed.Results:From 2017 to 2020, the RR of FDs in 2ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT blood screening strategy was 2.869/10 6 person-year, 3.795/10 6 persons-year, 3.879/10 6 person-year, and 2.890/10 6 person-year respectively. The RR of RDs was 1.797/10 6 person-year, 1.502/10 6 person-year, 1.857/10 6 person-year, and 1.483/10 6 person-year respectively. Significant difference exists between RR of FDs and RDs, with F=9.898 and p<0.05. In 2ELISA+ MP-NAT strategy, the RR of FDs was 3.508/10 6 person-year, 1.868/10 6 person-year, 2.204/10 6 person-year, and 1.765/10 6 person-year respectively. The RR of RDs was 0.948/10 6 person-year, 0.926/10 6 person-year, 0.748/10 6 person-year, and 0.682/10 6 person-year respectively. Statistical difference existed between RR of FDs and RDs, with F=17.126 and P<0.05. There was no significant difference between the RR of FDs in these two strategies with F=3.493 and P>0.05, while there was a difference between the RR of RDs in these two strategies with F=24.516 and P<0.05, and a difference between the RR of total donors (TDs) in these two strategies F=20.216 and P<0.05. Conclusions:The RR of TT HIV significantly decreased after the introduction of NAT into blood test among blood centers in China. There were some differences in the RR of HIV testing among different blood screening strategies. There could be significant differences in the RR of HIV testing among different groups of blood donors. Compared with FDs, RDs is the low risk group for HIV.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.

ObjectiveTo investigate the satisfaction of rehabilitation staff in community health service institutions in Shanghai on family rehabilitation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and explore the related factors. MethodsFrom August to October, 2021, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 173 rehabilitation workers from 36 community health service institutions in Shanghai by using a phased random cluster sampling method. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the related factors of TCM family rehabilitation satisfaction, and ordinal logistic regression model and decision tree model were used to analyze the independent related factors of TCM rehabilitation service satisfaction. ResultsAmong the 173 rehabilitation professionals, 85 (49.1%) were satisfied with the development of family rehabilitation of TCM, 83 (48%) were generally satisfied, and only 5 (2.9%) were dissatisfied. Family rehabilitation satisfaction of TCM was negatively correlated with expected monthly income (r = -1.169, P = 0.026), and was postively correlated with working environment, personnel assessment mechanism, promotion mechanism, application of knowledge in work, development prospect, understanding of western medicine family rehabilitation, and satisfaction of western medicine family rehabilitation (r > 0.268, P < 0.05). Ordinal logistic regression results showed that the promotion mechanism (OR = 0.033, 95%CI 0.003 to 0.341) and the satisfaction of family rehabilitation in western medicine (OR = 0.030, 95%CI 0.006 to 0.150) were independent related factors of community rehabilitation professionals' satisfaction on TCM family rehabilitation. The decision tree model showed consistent result with ordinal logistic regression. ConclusionMore than half of the community rehabilitation professionals in Shanghai are still satisfied with TCM family rehabilitation at the general level or below. It is suggested to improve the capacity of Chinese and western medicine combined rehabilitation, increase the training of in-service rehabilitation personnel, optimize the salary system, broaden the promotion channels, improve the working environment, strengthen the publicity of family rehabilitation, and explore the implementation mechanism of family rehabilitation.

This study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psychological distress among female scientists and technicians in China. Accordingly, we included scientists and technicians from representative research institutions, medical institutions, colleges, universities, and businesses in China, and the data were collected from July 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021 via online questionnaires. The parameters evaluated in this study included age, sex, marital status, educational background, monthly income, sleep hours, sleep problems, smoking, alcohol consumption, work-related stress, work burnout, cardiovascular symptoms, CVD, family history, and depressive and anxiety symptoms. A total of 14 530 scientists and technicians were included, comprising 7144 men and 7386 women. We found 34.9% men and 16.6% women with CVD, 35.1% men and 21.4% women with depressive symptoms, 28.7% men and 13.8% women with anxiety symptoms, and 22.0% men and 9.5% women with CVD combined with depressive or anxiety symptoms. This study focused on the details of women. Younger women (age≤35 years) had the highest prevalence of depressive symptoms (24.9%), anxiety symptoms (16.2%), and comorbidity (11.2%). It was established that, despite traditional risk factors, unmanageable work burnout, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms were associated with a higher risk of CVD in women; insomnia, overwhelming work stress, unmanageable work burnout, and CVD were linked to a higher risk of depressive symptoms and anxiety; insomnia, overwhelming work stress, and unmanageable work burnout were related to CVD combined with depressive or anxiety symptoms. A bidirectional relationship was noted between CVD and depression or anxiety in female scientists and technicians, and insomnia and overwhelming work stress were positively associated with comorbidity. It is suggested that effective measures should be taken to protect female scientists and technicians from CVD and psychological distress.
