Objective To screen ferroptosis genes related to the prognosis of cervical cancer and to construct a prognosis model. Methods Ferroptosis genes were obtained from FerrDb database, and cervical cancer related data were obtained from The Genome-Wide Association Study Catalog database and The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Transcriptome-Wide Association Study, colocalization analysis and differential expression analysis were conducted to screen out candidate ferroptosis genes; Gene Ontology functional and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis were conducted on candidate genes. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to further screen out genes related to the prognosis of cervical cancer. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between genes and the overall survival of patients. The expression levels of genes in pan-cancer were analyzed through the TIMER database. Two prognostic models were conducted, Model 1 included age and tumor stage, while Model 2 incorporated age, tumor stage, and prognostic genes. The predictive capabilities of the two models were compared. Results A total of 91 candidate genes related to ferroptosis were obtained. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that 15 genes were associated with the prognosis of cervical cancer. CA9, SCD, TFRC, QSOX1 and CDO1 were risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients (P＜0.05), while PTPN6, ALOXE3, HELLS, IFNG, MIOX, ALOX12B, DUOX1, ALOX15, AQP3 and IDO1 were protective factors (P＜0.05). The mRNA expression levels of the 15 genes showed significant upregulation or downregulation in at least 7 types of cancers, among which TFRC was associated with the largest number of cancer types. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that HELLS, DUOX1 and ALOXE3 were associated with poor prognosis in cervical cancer. The AUC of the model 1 for predicting 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates of cervical cancer patients was 0.455 and 0.478, and the AUC of Model 2 was 0.854 and 0.595. Model 2 (C-index = 0.727) had better predictive ability than Model 1 (C-index = 0.502). Conclusion The prognostic model composed of 15 prognostic-related genes selected based on bioinformatics has better predictive performance for the survival outcomes of cervical cancer patients, providing important reference value for the prognostic assessment of cervical cancer patients.

ObjectiveTo understand the whole genome characteristics and the information for genetic evolution in the two coxsackievirus A2 (CVA2) strains isolated from patients with herpangina in Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of herpetic angina. MethodsTwo CAV2 strains isolated from patients with herpetic angina in Shanghai were performed whole genome sequencing and analysis for phylogenetics, nucleotide homology, and evolution. ResultsA phylogenetic analysis of the VP1 region revealed that the two Shanghai strains both belonged to CVA2 genotype D, with the highest homology to OL357660, a strain from Yunnan. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) of the whole genome between the two Shanghai strains was 98.88%, and the ANI of the whole genome comparisons to other CVA2 genotype D strains and CVA2 genotypes A-C strains ranged from 84.64% to 97.42% and from 79.21% to 84.20%, respectively. The two Shanghai strains had low homology in the 3D region compared to the existing CVA2 strains. The phylogenetic analysis and sliding window nucleotide similarity analysis indicated that the two Shanghai strains and the Yunnan OL357660 strain might constitute a new genetic lineage. ConclusionThe two CVA2 strains isolated for the first time in Shanghai are assigned to genotype D (GenBank: PQ130039 and PQ130040), which is identical to the existing subtype prevalent in China. As represented by the Shanghai strains, a new CVA2 genetic lineage is been identified. This study has enriched the data on genetic evolution and genetic variation of CVA2 in Shanghai, indicating the requirement to strengthen surveillance for the epidemiological pattern of CVA2.

OBJECTIVE To innovatively apply the pre-intelligent precision dosing and verification system （hereinafter referred to as “the system”）， and to provide a reference for the high-level “intelligent” transformation of inpatient pharmacy. METHODS The limitations of the triple-serial dispensing mode， which comprised the automatic medicine packaging machine （ATC）， intelligent tablet dispensing table （ITDT） and medication detection machine （MDM）， were analyzed. The application of the system and the adoption of the barcode scanning verification method optimized the pre-dosing management， whole-tablet drug dispensing process and ATC temporary dosing management. The comparative analysis was conducted to assess dosing time， labor cost and packaging error of the eight-month period， before and after the system application. RESULTS The triple-serial dispensing mode had a weak ability to avoid error risks in the manual dosing stage， and also had errors in the verification stage. Through the innovative application system， the pre-dosing management had been upgraded， the whole-tablet drug dispensing process had been optimized， and the ATC temporary dosing management had been improved. The average time required for each drug for pre-dosing， whole-tablet drug dispensing and ATC temporary dosing was significantly shortened after the application of the system， compared with before the application of the system （P＜0.001）. The number of pharmacists was reduced from two to one. The error rate of ATC decreased significantly from 0.220‰ to 0.029‰ （P＜0.001）. Specifically， the rate of pharmacist-related errors （pre-dosing error， ITDT dosing error， and ATC temporary dosing error） decreased from 0.116‰ to 0.001‰ （P＜0.001）， and machine-related errors decreased from 0.096‰ to 0.023‰ （P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS This innovative integration mode greatly improves the working efficiency and quality of inpatient pharmacy. It enhances refined management of drug expiration and inventory， saves time and labor costs， improves the accuracy of drug dispensing， and ensures patient medication safety.

Objective　To conduct a genotypic analysis of dengue virus in Gengma County, Yunnan Province, located in the China-Myanmar border region in 2023, and provide a reference for developing effective clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies for dengue fever in the region. Methods Serum samples were collected from hospitalized patients testing positive for dengue NS1 antigen, and dengue virus nucleic acid was detected using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Nucleic acid-positive samples underwent cell culture and sequencing analysis of the dengue virus E gene to determine the origin of the virus. Results Specific nucleic acid detection was performed in 86 NS1-positive serum samples, 75 samples tested positive for dengue virus serotype 1 (DENV-1), 6 samples for serotype 2 (DENV-2), and 5 samples were DENV-negative. Twelve DENV-1 and four DENV-2 strains were obtained by blind cell culture transmission for 3 generations. Sequencing of E gene sequences (1 485 bp) of 16 strains showed that the nucleotide similarity of 12 DENV-1 E gene sequences ranged from 99.3% to 100.0%, with amino acid homology of 99.8% to 100.0%. For the 4 DENV-2 E gene sequences, the nucleotide similarity ranged from 99.7% to 99.9%, and amino acid homology ranged from 99.0% to 99.8%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 12 DENV-1 strains belonged to genotype I, while 4 DENV-2 strains belonged to the Asian-II genotype. Conclusion The dengue fever outbreak in Gengma County, Yunnan Province, China, the China-Myanmar border area, was mainly caused by dengue virus 1 genotype I and dengue virus 2 genotype Asian-II. Both dengue virus 1 and 2 may have similar original strains from Guangzhou, China in 2023. It was recommended that local relative departments should strengthen the monitoring of dengue fever.

Objective:To explore the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT)with different intensity on trau-matic extended knee joint contracture. Method:From May 2021 to July 2023,80 patients with traumatic extended knee joint contracture who were hospitalized in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups with 20 cases in each group.On the basis of rou-tine rehabilitation treatment,each group performed ESWT at the intensity of l.5bar,2.0bar,2.5bar and 3.0bar respectively.Before and after treatment,the active knee flexion angle and the Lysholm score were measured,the walking speed,the load ratio of the healthy side and the difference of bilateral touchdown time were col-lected by TecnoBody digital treadmill system.All the indexes were compared and analyzed after treatment. Result:Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the general information and evaluation index-es among the four groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the active knee flexion angle,Lysholm score,walking speed,the load ratio of the healthy side and the difference of bilateral touchdown time were significantly im-proved compared with those before treatment in all groups(P＜0.05).After treatment,the indexes of the four groups were compared.It was found that the degree of improvement for active knee flexion angle,Lysholm score and the load ratio of the healthy side in the 2.0bar and 2.5bar groups were better than those in the 1.5bar and 3.0bar groups(P＜0.05).The walking speed of 2.0bar,2.5bar and 3.0bar groups were better than that of 1.5bar group(P＜0.05),and the speed of 2.5bar group was the highest(P＜0.05).The difference of bi-lateral touchdown time of 2.0bar,2.5bar and 3.0bar groups were all lower than that of 1.5bar group(P＜0.05),but there was no statistical difference among the three groups(P＞0.05). Conclusion:The extracorporeal shock wave therapy with different intensities can improve the active knee flex-ion angle,knee function and gait of patients with traumatic extended knee joint contracture,but the overall cu-rative effects of 2.0bar and 2.5bar intensity ESWT are superior.It is recommended that clinical applications of ESWT use an intensity range of 2.0-2.5 bar.

Objective:To explore the effect of early intermittent enteral nutrition (EN) in critically ill patients after cardiac surgery.Methods:We developed an early EN feeding regimen for critically ill patients after cardiac surgery. A prospective analysis was conducted on 178 critically ill patients admitted to the Cardiothoracic Surgery Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from May 2022 to May 2023. They were divided into the control group ( n=88) and the observation group ( n=90) using a random number table method. The control group received routine EN feeding, while the observation group received early intermittent EN feeding. Comparison between groups was performed in terms of the tolerability and interruption of EN administration, nutrition related outcome indicators, and prognosis indicators. Results:The observation group had significantly lower rates of abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting (or reflux), and EN interruption, as well as shorter duration of EN interruption, compared to the control group ( P<0.05). After 7 days of early EN, 87.8% of patients in the observation group met the calorie goal, which was significantly higher than that of 22.5% in the observation group ( P<0.05). The nutritional related indicators (serum prealbumin, hemoglobin, actual intake of nutritional fluids) were also better in the observation group patients compared to the control group ( P<0.05). The duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusion:Early EN program can improve the symptoms of feeding intolerance in patients, reduce the occurrence and duration of feeding interruption, increase the rate of calorie goal fulfillment, improve nutritional status,and promote patient recovery and outcome in critically ill patients after cardiac surgery.

Objective To explore the effect of preoperative administration of glycopyrronium bromide on postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD)in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery.Methods 74 elderly patients underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery under general anesthesia with a laryngeal mask were randomly divided into control group(group C,25 cases),low-dose glycopyrronium bromide group(0.2 mg,group L,24 cases),medium-dose glycopyrronium bromide group(0.4 mg,group M,25 cases).Blood was collected from patients 1 d before surgery and 3 d after surgery,and serum levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),brain function related factors[5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDMF)]were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)was used to assess the cognitive function of the patients.Airway secretion scores,the incidence of arrhythmia,dry mouth and dysuria were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the incidence of POCD among the three groups of patients(P＞0.05);At 3 d postoperatively,5-HT and BDNF levels in group L were higher than those in group C,the BDNF level in group L was higher than that in group M,there were statistically significant(P＜0.05);At 3 days after surgery,the levels of serum IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in group C were significantly higher than those at 1 day before surgery(P＜0.05),the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α in group M were significantly higher than those at 1 day before surgery(P＜0.05),there were no significant differences in the levels of serum IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in group L compared with those at 1 day before surgery(P＞0.05),there were no significant differences in the levels of serum IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α among the three groups at 3 days after surgery(P＞0.05);Postoperative airway secretion was significantly reduced in group L and group M compared with group C(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between group L and group M(P＞0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions(dry mouth and dysuria)in group M was significantly higher than that in group L and group C(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low-dose(0.2 mg)glycopyrronium bromide is more appropriately recommended as a preoperative medication for elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery,and increased dosage is associated with an increase in adverse reactions and POCD.

Objective To explore the current status of H.pylori infection in the natural population of Sanya City,analyze its influencing factors,and provide a reference basis for the prevention and control of H.pylori infection.Methods A total of 677 residents from four districts of Sanya City were selected by overall stratified random sampling method,and were subjected to urea 14C breath test and questionnaire survey to calculate the positive rate of H.pylori in the natural population and analyze the influencing factors of H.pylori infection.Results A total of 606 residents were included,and the number of H.pylori positive detections was 261,with a positive detection rate of 38.5％.Among them,different ethnicity,marital status,smoking,eating vegetables and fruits,and literacy level were associated with H.pylori infection(P＜0.05);gender,age,BMI,alcohol consumption,drinking water source,betel quid chewing,and the number of cohabitants were not significantly associated with H.pylori infection(P＞0.05).Family infection was an independent risk factor for H.pylori infection in the natural population of Sanya City,and Li ethnicity,frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables,and college and higher education level were independent protective factors for H.pylori infection in the natural population of Sanya City.Conclusion The rate of H.pylori infection in the natural population of Sanya City is lower than the national average.Consuming more fruits and vegetables and improving the awareness of hygiene protection are conducive to the prevention of H.pylori infection;and the promotion of the family and related members with the same examination and treatment is important to avoid aggregation of infection within the family.

Objective To explore the relevant risk factors of H.pylori infection,and provide reference for prevention and treatment of H.pylori in this area,and further provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods A total of 1200 residents in four districts of Haikou city were investigated by questionnaire and urea 14 C breath test by holistic stratified random sampling to calculate the population infection rate and analyze the risk factors of infection.Results The total infection rate was 32.5％,which was lower than the national H.pylori infection rate.No consumption of fruits and vegetables,no habit of washing hands before meals,and people with gastrointestinal symptoms,are independent risk factors of H.pylori infection.No consumption of pickled products is of great significance to prevent H.pylori infection.Conclusion The prevalence of H.pylori infection in the population of Haikou is lower than the national average,and H.pylori infection is closely related to the poor living habits of residents.
