Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among drug users in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide insights into strengthening HCV intervention among drug users. Methods: Drug users under community management in Baoshan District from 2017 to 2023 were recruited. Demographic information, drug use behaviors, sexual behaviors and receipt of intervention service were collected through questionnaire surveys. Blood samples were collected for HCV antibody testing, and the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was analyzed. Factors affecting the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 2 801 drug users were surveyed, including 2 233 males (79.72%) and 568 females (20.28%). The majority of drug users were aged 40 to <60 years (1 663 drug users, 59.37%). The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was 28.35%, showing an overall upward trend from 2017 to 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that females (OR=1.468, 95%CI: 1.169-1.844), 40 years and over (40 to <50 years, OR=2.441, 95%CI: 1.838-3.242; 50 to <60 years, OR=2.377, 95%CI: 1.787-3.161; 60 to 97 years, OR=1.637, 95%CI: 1.163-2.304), using traditional drugs (OR=2.488, 95%CI: 1.967-3.147) or mixed drugs (OR=2.950, 95%CI: 1.974-4.409), having injected drugs (not share needles, OR=3.649, 95%CI: 2.849-4.673; share needles, OR=3.532, 95%CI: 1.851-6.738) and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants in the past year (OR=1.975, 95%CI: 1.354-2.879) were associated with a higher prevalence of anti-HCV antibody; the educational level of high school/technical secondary school (OR=0.483, 95%CI: 0.280-0.835) or college and above (OR=0.280, 95%CI: 0.129-0.608) was associated with a lower prevalence of anti-HCV antibody. Conclusions The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users in Baoshan District showed an upward trend from 2017 to 2023. Gender, age, educational level, type of drugs, history of drug injection and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants were influencing factors for prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) in training newly hired nurses′comprehensive emergency competence and to provide references for enhancing their capabilities.Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted using purposeful sampling. From September to December 2022, newly hired nurses at Liaocheng Second People′s Hospital were selected as research subjects and randomly assigned to a controlor an observation group using random number table. The control group received traditional group drill training, while the observation group underwent RCDP training. The study compared pre- and post-training scores of emergency theory and skill assessments, scores on the Chinese version of the Perceived Cognitive Ability Scale in Emergency Situations (PCAS), and training satisfaction levels between the two groups.Results:Each group comprised 30 nurses. The control group consisted of 3 males and 27 females, with a mean age of (22.70 ± 1.09) years; the observation group included 2 males and 28 females, with a mean age of (22.93 ± 0.87) years. Post-training comprehensive emergency competence assessment scores was (89.19 ± 1.47) in the control group and (93.00 ± 1.41) in the observation group, with a statistically significant difference ( t = - 4.60, P<0.01). The scores and total scores of PCAS in the observation group were (34.23 ± 1.91), (12.70 ± 1.62), (10.03 ± 1.52) and (56.97 ± 3.09), respectively, which were higher than the (31.70 ± 2.42), (11.90 ± 1.16), (9.10 ± 1.42), and (52.47 ± 3.65) in the control group, the difference between the two groups were statistically significant ( t value were - 5.16 - - 2.20, all P<0.05). The total score of training satisfaction of nurses in the observation group was (41.93 ± 2.53) points, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the (33.80 ± 2.58) pointsin the control group ( t = - 12.33, P<0.01). Conclusions:The application of the RCDP method in training newly recruited nurses′comprehensive emergency competence effectively enhances their learning enthusiasm and initiative, thereby improving training outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of monitoring indicators related to the"Perioperative In-fection Control"in medical institutions above the secondary level in Guizhou Province,and to delve into the imple-mentation of key measures for infection prevention and control during the perioperative period for patients under-going surgical operations.METHODS Based on the"Implementation Plan for the'Perioperative Infection Control'Initiative in Guizhou Province",a"Case Investigation Form on Key Measures for Infection Prevention and Control During the Perioperative Period for Patients Undergoing Surgical Operation"was developed.A total of 138 medi-cal institutions participated in the case investigation,and a total of 2 128 cases were investigated.RESULTS The overall monitoring indicators for the"Perioperative Infection Control"initiative in the 138 medical institutions a-bove the secondary level in Guizhou Province were at a relatively low level.The skin cleansing compliance rate was 80.32％,the hair removal compliance rate was 16.43％,the prophylactic antibacterial drug administration rate within 0.5-1 hour before surgery was 55.94％and the antibacterial drug discontinuation rate within 24 hours after prophylactic medication for type Ⅰ incision surgeries was 56.48％.The hair removal compliance rate was higher in tertiary medical institutions(19.21％)than in secondary medical institutions(14.34％)(P=0.039).The distri-bution of the four monitoring indicators varied in clinical departments and surgery types,with statistically signifi-cant differences(P＜0.05).The preferred method for surgical site skin cleansing in medical institutions across the province was local wiping,primarily with clean water(57.21％).The primary method for hair removal was razors(68.82％),and hair removal on the day of surgery was most common(61.75％).CONCLUSIONS Conduc-ting a survey on the current status of"Perioperative Infection Control"initiative monitoring indicators in medi-cal institutions in Guizhou Province helps to understand the implementation of key measures for perioperative in-fection prevention and control and set intervention targets,thus providing references for establishing a dynam-ic monitoring indicator change mechanism.

Objective To analyze the latent classes of social alienation in colorectal cancer patients and further explore the influencing factors and cumulative effects of risk factors across different classes,thereby providing a reference for individualized interventions.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select colorectal cancer patients hospitalized in the gastrointestinal surgery and oncology departments of 3 tertiary-level hospitals in Shandong Province from January to June 2023 as the study subjects.A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,Social Avoidance Scale,Social Anxiety Scale,UCLA Loneliness Scale,Sense of Coherence Scale,Family Cohesion Scale,and Social Support Rating Scale.Data analysis was performed using latent profile analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 292 questionnaires were distributed,with 270 valid responses collected,yielding a response rate of 92.47％.The results of the latent profile analysis indicated that social alienation among colorectal cancer patients could be categorized into 3 latent groups:the"low alienation group"(42.59％),the"high alienation-high social avoidance group"(14.08％),and the"moderate alienation-high social anxiety group"(43.33％).Results of logistic regression analysis revealed that employment status,stoma status,metastasis,sense of coherence,family cohesion,and social support were influencing factors across different categories.Moreover,a cumulative effect of sense of coherence,family cohesion,and social support on distinct categories was observed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Social alienation among colorectal cancer patients exhibits group heterogeneity.Healthcare professionals should identify the characteristic differences among patients,prioritise those with multiple risk factors,and develop targeted intervention measures to help them better integrate into society.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the analgesic effects and potential mechanisms of the partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A(5-HT1A)receptor and the selective 5-HT reuptake inhibitor,viladazone(Vil),in various animal models of pain.METHODS ① Mouse acetic acid writhing test:KM mice were divided into the model group,model+morphine 10 mg·kg-1 group,and model+Vil 2,4,8 mg·kg-1 groups.Thirty minutes after ig administration of saline(model group)or corresponding drugs,each group was ip injected with a 2%acetic acid aqueous solution(0.01 mL·g-1),and the writhing frequency of the mice was observed and recorded from 5 to 20 min.② Mouse formalin pain test:KM mice were divided into the model group and model+Vil 2,4 and 8 mg·kg-1 groups.Thirty minutes after ig adminis-tration of saline(model group)or drugs,20 μL of 5%formalin solution was sc injected into the right plantar region of the mice.The licking time(the sum of the duration of licking and biting the paw)of the mice was observed and recorded during two periods:the acute phase(0-5 min after sc formalin injec-tion)and the delayed phase(15-35 min after sc formalin injection).③ Rat chronic constriction injury(CCI)of the sciatic nerve experiment:SD rats successfully examined with a paw withdrawal threshold(PWT)<5 g were randomly divided into a CCI model group and a CCI model+Vil 2,4 and 8 mg·kg-1 group.Solvent(model group)or corresponding drugs were ig administered,and the PWT of the modeled side was measured at 30,60,120 and 240 min after the first administration to evaluate the acute anal-gesic effect of Vil on mechanical pain.Then,Vil was continuously ig administered for 14 d,and the PWT was measured 1 h after Vil administration on the 7th and 14th d to evaluate the long-term analgesic effect of Vil.Immunofluorescence staining was employed to analyze the expression levels of inflamma-tion-related proteins,ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(IBA-1),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and interleukin 1β(IL-1β),in brain tissues.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the levels of IBA-1,TNF-α and IL-1β in the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord in the CCI model.RESULTS ① In the mouse model of acetic acid writhing,single ig administration of morphine 10 mg·kg-1 and Vil at varied doses significantly reduced the number of writhings induced by acetic acid compared to the model group.② In the formalin-induced pain model,the average licking time of the model group was 50.5 s during the acute phase of inflammatory pain(0-5 min after intraplantar injec-tion of 5%formalin),and 347.9 s during the delayed phase of inflammatory pain(25-35 min after formalin injection).Compared to the model group,single ig administration of Vil 2-8 mg·kg-1 reduced chronic pain induced by formalin in mice,and each dose of Vil significantly decreased the licking time of mice,but had no notable impact on the licking duration exhibited by mice during acute phase.③ In the CCI model,the PWT values of CCI model rats significantly decreased compared with the control group.Pathological damage to varying extents was observed in brain slices,manifested as enlarged intercellular spaces and the appearance of vacuoles.The expression of IBA-1 in brain tissue significantly increased,while TNF-α and IL-1β hardly changed.The levels of IBA-1,TNF-α and IL-1β in the spinal dorsal root ganglion significantly increased.Compared with the CCI model,after single administration of Vil 2-8 mg·kg-1 for 60,120 and 240 min,Vil significantly reduced the PWT values.After two-week continuous administration,the PWT values in Vil 4 and 8 mg·kg-1 were significantly reduced,and Vil 2-8 mg·kg-1 could alleviate the neuropathic pain to some extent.Vil 8 mg·kg-1 significantly reduced the elevated levels of inflammatory factors compared to CCI rats.CONCLUSION The antidepressant Vil exhibits analgesic effects in mouse models of acetic acid writhing,formalin-induced inflammation,and neuropathic pain induced by CCI in rats,with a more pronounced effect on neuropathic pain.The mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory pathways of IBA-1.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebral perfusion status,blood pressure variability,and prognosis in patients with moyamoya disease following cerebral revascularization.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 108 patients who underwent their first combined cerebral revascularization between January 2019 and July 2022 at the Department of Neurosurgery,First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University,and Henan Provincial People's Hospital.Based on postoperative cerebral perfusion improvement,patients were categorized into a"good"group and a"general"group.Baseline characteristics,key imaging parameters,blood pressure variability,and symptom scores were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results In this study,there were 55 cases in the good group and 53 cases in the general group.According to the comparative analysis of the postoperative indicators between the good group and the general group,Statistically significant differences were observed in symptom improvement[42(79.25%)vs.52(94.55%)],TIA[22(41.51%)vs.11(20.00%)],and cerebral infarction[6(11.32%)vs.0(0.00%)],mRS score and the Matsushima classification(P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in the BPV-related index between the two groups of patients before the operation(all P>0.05).When comparing nine blood pressure variability(BPV)-related indices including the mean of 24-hour,daytime,and nighttime systolic blood pressure,coefficient of variability(CV),and average real variability(ARV)between the two groups,no significant differences were observed in the BPV-related indices before surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The differences in the BPV-related indices before and after surgery(postoperative index-preoperative index)between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Postoperative cerebral perfusion status was positively correlated with prognosis and negatively correlated with BPV.Conclusion Patients with good improvement in cerebral perfusion status after combined revascularization for moyamoya disease have less blood pressure variability and better prognosis.

This study aims to describe the population and regional distribution characteristics of smoking behavior among adult twins in the China Twin Registry (CNTR), as well as the concordance rates for smoking behavior in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, and estimate the heritability. The study population included adult twins in CNTR who had smoking questionnaire data. A random-effects regression model was used to describe the distribution of smoking behavior among different subgroups based on various characteristics. The concordance of smoking behavior between different zygosity groups was calculated, and heritability was estimated. A total of 28 444 twin pairs were included in this study, with an average age of (36.6±12.0) years. Among male twins, 41.2% were current smokers, while only 1.2% of females smoked. Higher smoking rates were observed among male smokers in the 50-59 age group ( z=23.0, P<0.001), northern regions ( z=2.9, P<0.01), rural areas ( z=-5.2, P<0.001), those who were divorced/widowed ( z=3.8, P<0.001), and first-born twins ( z=-4.3, P<0.001), while lower smoking rates were found in those with higher education ( z=-16.1, P<0.001) and unmarried individuals ( z=-16.0, P<0.001). The smoking concordance rate for male monozygotic twins was 69.6%, significantly higher than the 57.3% concordance rate for dizygotic twins ( χ 2=105.0, P<0.05). The heritability of smoking behavior in male twins was estimated at 28.9% (95% CI: 24.3%-33.4%). Stratified analyses showed differences in heritability across regions and age groups: the heritability in northern regions was 32.6% (95% CI: 27.3%-38.0%), higher than the 21.0% (95% CI: 12.4%-29.5%) observed in southern regions; the highest heritability of 35.1% (95% CI: 26.3%-43.9%) was found in the 18-29 age group, with heritability decreasing with age. In conclusion, the smoking rate and influencing factors in the twin population are similar to those in the general population, with unique characteristics, such as higher smoking rates in first-born twins. Genetic factors have a significant impact on smoking behavior.
