Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal clustering of varicella in Lu39;an City from 2005 to 2023, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing varicella prevention and control strategies. Methods Data on varicella cases were collected through the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System. Descriptive epidemiology, temporal trend analysis, seasonal analysis, spatiotemporal clustering analysis, and spatial autocorrelation analysis were conducted using QGIS, JoinPoint, SaTScan and GeoDa software. Results The average annual reported incidence rate of varicella in Lu39;an City from 2005 to 2023 was 34.55/100,000, showing a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease. The peak incidence occurred from October to January of the following year (RR=1.97, LLR=1743.95, P=0.001). Students aged 0 to 19 was the primary affected group. Spatiotemporal scan analysis revealed four types of spatiotemporal clusters, with the cluster in Jin39;an District from October 2017 to December 2023 being particularly prominent (RR=2.87,LLR=1734.15,P<0.001). Spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated significant clustering of varicella cases in the main urban area (Moran39;s I=0.216,Z=4.786,P=0.003). Conclusion The incidence of varicella in Lu39;an City exhibits distinct seasonal and spatial clustering, and schools and kindergartens in the main urban area are the key to varicella prevention and control. It is necessary to enhance the monitoring of disease outbreaks during peak periods and in key areas, and to increase the two-dose vaccination rate for varicella in areas with case aggregation and among key populations.

Abstract
As a rapid analytical method for both the types and activities of γ radionuclides, the γ-ray spectrometry method is
widely used in the measurement of γ radionuclides in environmental and biological samples. The Gamma-ray Spectrometry
Method for the Determination of Radionuclides in Environmental and Biological Samples (GB/T 16145—2022)was implemented on July 1, 2023, replacing the Determination of Radionuclides in Soil by Gamma Spectrometry (GB/T
11743—2013), Determination of Radionuclides in Water by Gamma Spectrometry (GB/T 16140—2018), Gamma Spectrometry Method of Analyzing Radionuclides in Biological Samples (GB/T 16145—2020), and Determination of Radionuclides
in Air by Gamma Spectrometry (WS/T 184—2017). The background of the revised standard, the content and basis of the
main revisions, and some issues that need to be discussed are briefly explained in this paper, in order to provide a useful reference for the detection of radioactivity in soil, water, biological, and air samples, as well as samples of similar matrices.

Objective To explore the characteristics of blood lipid metabolism indicators and risk factors of prognosis in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A total of 54 children who were diagnosed with SLE and hospitalized in Chengdu Women and Children’ s Central Hospital from January 2013 to August 2022 were selected. Clinical data of all children were collected and blood lipid metabolism indicators and biochemical indicators were detected , and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the prognosis risk factors in children with SLE. Results Among the 47 cases (87.04%) had abnormal blood lipid metabolism at admission, and is mainly manifested as elevated levels of LDL-C, TG and TC and decreased level of HDL-C. The proportion of cardiovascular system damage, hematological system damage, urinary protein positivity, and SLEDAI-2000 score in the group with good prognosis were lower than those in the group with poor prognosis, while the proportion of dsDNA positivity was higher in the group with poor prognosis. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein were risk factors for poor prognosis, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Abnormal blood lipid metabolism is common in children with SLE, and cardiovascular system damage and positive urinary protein may increase the risk of poor prognosis in young children.

Objective :
To discuss the effectiveness and mechanism for movement of maxillary buccally transposed canines by using a door-shaped individualized dental archwire mechanic and to provide a reference for clinicians.
Methods:
Eight patients with unilateral maxillary transposed canines were enrolled. All patients were treated with door-shaped individualized archwires. Before treatment (T1) and after the crowns of the transposed canines were moved to the right buccal positions in the dental arch during the treatment (T2), orthopantomograms were taken both at T1 and T2 to compare the linear changes (distance changes of the crown and root apex) and angular changes to study the mechanisms of tooth movement. The probing depth and buccal crown height were measured using a periodontal probe to compare periodontal changes before treatment (T1) and after treatment (T3) between the transposed canines and contralateral canines.
Results:
All eight transposed canines were successfully brought back to their normal dental arch position but were made more buccal by using the door-shaped individualized dental archwire, with a mean of (11.5 ± 2.7) months. The average overall duration was (28.3 ± 4.7) months. The crown distance changes of the canines from T1 to T2 (8.1 mm) were greater than those of the root apexes (1.5 mm) (P<0.05). The mean angulation changes of the long axes of the canines were 17.5°. There was no significant difference in the depth of periodontal measurement and buccal crown height measurement between T1 and T3 (P>0.05).
Conclusion
The buccal movement of maxillary transposed canines under a door-shaped individualized dental archwire was effective and feasible. The movement pattern under this mechanism was controlled tipping.

Objective To investigate and study epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of rotavirus lower respiratory tract infection in preschool children. Methods The preschool children with rotavirus enteritis and lower respiratory tract infection admitted to the hospital were retrospectively analyzed January 2021 and June 2022. The situations and risk factors of lower respiratory tract infection were evaluated by chest X-ray, serological examination and throat swab culture. Results In the 155 preschool children with rotavirus enteritis, there were 59 (38.06%) cases with lower respiratory tract infection. The results of pathogens culture showed that proportion of Haemophilus influenzae was the highest (28.81%), followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.64%, 15.25%). There were significant differences between infection group and non-infection group in age, histories of family members smoking, children39;s aggregated activities and family members39; respiratory diseases, family members39; and children39; attention to hand hygiene, pregnancy outcomes, age at the first usage of antibiotics and onset seasons (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in gender, feeding situations or children39;s place of residence (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age <3 years (OR=2.962, P=0.031), history of family members39; smoking (OR=2.869, P=0.035), history of family members39; respiratory diseases (OR=2.354, P=0.039) and the age at the first usage of antibiotics <1 year (OR=2.622, P=0.033) were all independent risk factors of rotavirus lower respiratory tract infection in preschool children. Conclusion The preschool children with rotavirus are prone to lower respiratory tract infection. Clinically, more attentions should be payed to children with age <3 years, history of family members39; smoking, history of family members39; respiratory diseases and the age at the first usage of antibiotics <1 year. The targeted measures should be actively taken to prevent the risk of lower respiratory tract infection.

Ectopic eruption of the first permanent molar is a common malocclusion in the early stage of mixed dentition. The incidence among children aged 6-10 years is 0.83%-8.7%, with an increasing trend. The main manifestation is mesial impaction of the first permanent molar during eruption, which is accompanied by the loss of root resorption and space loss of the second primary molar. Ectopic eruption of the first permanent molars can lead to underdevelopment of the dental arch and severe crowding of the posterior dentition. Prevention and early intervention are very important. The ectopic eruption of the first permanent molar is related to the disruption of the differential growth and developmental balance among the teeth, alveolar bone and jaw. In clinical practice, the diagnosis can be made according to the patient39;s medical history and clinical and imaging examinations, and the treatment can be performed by dividing the teeth, dividing the distal slices of the second primary molars, and distally moving the first permanent molars. This paper reviews the incidence, etiology, clinical manifestations, risks of ectopic eruption of the first permanent molar, diagnostic methods, and common treatment options to provide references for clinical treatment.

Objective To compare the differences of clinical effects between the bilateral endoscopic breast reconstruction and the open breast reconstruction. Methods The clinical data of 28 female patients who underwent bilateral breast graft reconstruction in the Department of Breast Surgery of West China Hospital from January 2017 to January 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups: an endoscopic group (n=12, aged 41.3±8.9 years) and an open group (n=16, aged 41.6±8.8 years). The clinical data of the two groups of patients were compared. Results There was no significant difference in demographic and oncological data between the two groups (P>0.05). There was a significant difference in the implants between the two groups (P=0.008). The operation time (298.2±108.6 min vs. 326.5±95.8 min, P=0.480) and anesthesia time (373.4±91.2 min vs. 400.3±97.1 min, P=0.463) were not significantly different. The total complications (P=0.035) and major complications (P=0.024) in the open group were more than those in the endoscopic group. For the comparison of breast satisfaction, psychosocial well-being and sexual well-being, the scores at six months and one year after surgery were higher in the endoscopic group than those in the open group (P<0.05). Conclusion The endoscopic reconstruction is safe and effective, with high satisfaction rates regarding breast reconstruction and quality of life, and is superior to conventional open surgery.

Objective:
To monitor the adverse events following immunization (AEFI) with combined attenuated live measles, mumps and rubella vaccines (MMR) in Huzhou City from 2015 to 2021, so as to provide insights into the implementation of the MMR immunization strategy.
Methods:
All AEFI caused by MMR immunization in Huzhou City from 2015 to 2021 were captured from the AEFI Monitoring Information Management System of the Immunization Planning System of Chinese Disease Control and Prevention Information System, and the incidence, clinical features and epidemiological features of AEFI were analyzed descriptively.
Results:
The reported incidence of AEFI caused by MMR immunization appeared a tendency towards a rise in Huzhou City from 2015 to 2021 (χ2trend=124.126, P<0.001). Totally 324 386 doses of MMR vaccines were immunized, and 317 cases with AEFI were reported, with an reported incidence rate of 9.77/104 doses. Following two-dose immunization, the reported incidence of AEFI caused by two-dose MMR immunization was significantly lower than by one-dose immunization (6.01/104 doses vs. 25.43/104 doses; χ2=113.692, P<0.001). The incidence rates of general reactions, abnormal reactions and coincidental events were 6.20/104 doses, 3.42/104 dose and 0.15/104 doses, respectively. Fever and allergic rash were predominant clinical manifestations of AEFI, and no vaccine quality accident, inoculation accident or psychogenic reaction were reported. There were 246 (77.60%) cases with AEFI within 24 hours following vaccination, and among children with AEFI, there were 173 boys (54.57%), and 200 children (63.09%) age ages of less than one year (63.09%). AEFI was reported in each quarter, and 99 cases (31.23%) were reported in the fourth quarter. The largest number of children with AEFI was reported in Wuxing District (78 cases, 24.61%).
Conclusions
The safety of MMR vaccination is high in Huzhou City. General reaction is the predominant AEFI, which mainly occurs within 24 hours following vaccination. Two-dose MMR vaccination does not increase the risk of AEFI.
