Objective:
To analyze the characteristics of first-visit cases of herpes zoster in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province from 2021 to 2023, so as to provide the reference for improving herpes zoster prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Data on the incidence and vaccination of first-visit herpes zoster cases at all levels of public medical institutions in Zhoushan City from 2021 to 2023 were collected through the Zhoushan Comprehensive Health Information Platform and Zhoushan Immunization Program Information Management System. The incidence and outpatient proportion were calculated. The population distribution, seasonal distribution, and clinical consultation status of first-visit herpes zoster cases were described.
Results:
From 2021 to 2023, a total of 15 156 first-visit herpes zoster cases were reported in Zhoushan City, with an average annual incidence of 5.36‰. The incidences for each year were 5.78‰, 5.29‰ and 5.02‰, respectively, and the outpatient proportions were 0.15%, 0.14% and 0.11%, respectively, showed decreasing trends (both P<0.05). The number of doses of recombinant herpes zoster vaccine or live attenuated herpes zoster vaccine administered were 130, 312, and 633, respectively. The main consultation department was dermatology, with 11 004 cases (72.60%). The primary clinical diagnosis was visceral herpes zoster, with 5 901 cases (38.94%). A total of 1 936 cases (12.77%) had at least one underlying medical condition. The mean age of onset was (56.08±16.23) years, and the incidence showed an upward trend with increasing age (P<0.05). There were 7 386 male cases and 7 770 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 0.95∶1. The incidence among males aged ≥50 years was lower than that among females (6.53‰ vs. 8.69‰, P<0.05). The onset of the disease exhibited a significant seasonal pattern, with a peak period from June 21st to August 21st, covering 75% of the cases
Conclusions
From 2021 to 2023, the incidence and outpatient proportion of herpes zoster in Zhoushan City decreased. Summer was the peak season for onset, and women and the elderly were the key populations. It is necessary to strengthen the collaborative diagnostic and treatment capabilities of key departments such as dermatology and enhance the enthusiasm for vaccination among key populations.

Objective:
To analyze the association of sedentary types with symptom of depressive and anxiety among college freshmen, so as to provide a reference for improving the mental health of college students.
Methods:
From October to November 2022, all college freshmen at three colleges and universities in Anhui Province were selected by a cluster sampling method. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Youth Leisure-Time Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (YLSBQ) were used for the investigation. A binary Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship of different types of sedentary behavior with anxiety and depressive symptom.
Results:
The detection rates of anxiety and depressive symptom among college freshmen were 32.8% and 49.9%, respectively. The results of the binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that after controlling for gender, family location, parental education level, self rated family economic status and number of intimate partners, high level overall, video based, and social based sedentary time were associated with an increased risk of anxiety ( OR =1.26, 1.56, 1.27) and depressive symptom ( OR =1.42, 1.94, 1.29) among college freshmen; the association between moderate level sedentary time and depressive symptom was statistically significant ( OR =0.83) (all P <0.05). The overall trends of the association between sedentary behavior with symptom of anxiety and depressive were similar in both boys and girls.
Conclusions
Sedentary behavior is associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depressive symptom in college students. Reducing video based and social based sedentary behaviors is beneficial for mental health promotion in college students.

ObjectiveTo introduce a fixation technique with the modified levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and evaluate its efficacy in the treatment of adenomyosis patients with previous LNG-IUS expulsion. MethodsA retrospective analysis was done on 22 adenomyosis patients who underwent modified LNG-IUS fixation due to LNG-IUS expulsion at three hospitals from June 2022 to June 2023. The baseline clinical characteristics, operative and postoperative details were collected and analyzed. The Visual analogu scale (VAS) scores and pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) scores were measured and compared before, 3 and 6 months after the LNG-IUS fixation. ResultsThe mean operative time was (19.51±7.41) min and intraoperative bleeding was (6.71±5.30) mL. Of the patients, 13 were operated under local anaesthesia and the other 9 under intravenous anaesthesia. There were 4 operations performed by a resident doctor, 15 by an attending doctor and 3 by a senior doctor. No intraoperative or postoperative complication was found. The mean follow-up was 11.51 months and no patient had a recurrence of LNG-IUS expulsion during the follow-up period. The mean level of hemoglobin at 1 month after operation was significantly higher than that before (P<0.001). VAS scores and PBAC scores at 3 and 6 months postoperatively were all improved significantly than those preoperatively (P<0.001). ConclusionsEffectively preventing the recurrence of LNG-IUS expulsion, modified LNG-IUS fixation is a safe and efficient method for adenomyosis patients with previous LNG-IUS expulsion. Modified LNG-IUS fixation deserves the clinical application due to its easy operation and wide range of use on women.

Objective:
To understand the association of maternal emotional symptoms and parent-child relationship with emotional and behavioral problems (EBPs) in primary school students, so as to provide a reference for the prevention of EBPs in primary school students.
Methods:
In May 2023, a convenient cluster sampling method was used to select 1 324 students from two primary schools in Hefei City, Anhui Province as the study subjects. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Family Adaptation and Cohesion Evaluation ScalesⅡ (FACES Ⅱ), and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) of parental version were used to investigate maternal emotional symptoms, parent-child relationship, and EBPs of primary school students, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis model was used to analyze the association of different maternal emotional symptoms and parent-child relationship with EBPs of primary school students.
Results:
The abnormal detection rates of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity disorder, peer problems, prosocial behavior and total difficulties in primary school students were 13.6%, 19.4%, 20.2%, 36.5%, 20.9% and 51.9%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the detection rates of EBPs in primary school students whose mothers had anxiety and depression symptoms with low level of parent-child relationship increased ( OR=1.52-6.97, P <0.01). The combined effect of mothers who had anxiety and depression symptoms with low level of parent-child relationship increased the risk of EBPs in all dimensions of primary school students ( OR=4.07-10.14, P <0.01). After gender stratification, the combined effect of mothers who had anxiety and depression symptoms with low level of parent-child relationship increased the risk of EBPs in all dimensions of boys and girls ( OR=3.71- 10.95 , P <0.01).
Conclusions
Maternal emotional symptoms and parent-child relationship are associated with EBPs in primary school students. Reducing maternal anxiety and depression symptoms, and improving parent-child relationship are beneficial to reduce the incidence of EBPs problems in primary school students.

International Eye Science 2024;24(6):950-953
AIM:To investigate the effect of diquafosol sodium(SD)eye drops combined with sodium hyaluronate eye drops on improving tear film stability after wearing orthokeratology lenses.METHODS:Prospective study. A total of 82 patients(82 right eyes)who were recruited from the outpatient department of Anhui Aier Eye Hospital from March to August 2022. Participants were assigned to three groups: sodium hyaluronate(SH)group(30 eyes), SD group(24 eyes), and sodium diquafosol combined with sodium hyaluronate(CG)group(28 eyes)according to random number table method. All groups wore the same brand of orthokeratology lens. Non-invasive tear breakup time(NIBUT), non-invasive tear meniscus height(NITMH)and lipid layer thickness were examined before treatment, and after wearing orthokeratology lens for 1 d, 1 wk, and 1 mo. Corneal spot staining was also recorded.RESULTS:The NITMH and NIBUT of CG group and the SD group at 1 mo after treatment were higher than those before wearing lenses(both P<0.05), and the NIBUT and NITMH of the CG group were 19.74±3.29 s and 0.30±0.05 mm, respectively, which were better than those of the SD group(NIBUT: 16.09±2.98 s, NITMH: 0.22±0.08 mm)and the SH group(NIBUT: 15.67±3.90 s, NITMH: 0.22±0.04 mm; all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in lipid layer thickness between the groups(all P>0.05). The incidence of corneal staining did not differ significantly among the groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The combination of diquafosol sodium and sodium hyaluronate eye drops demonstrates a superior effect in improving NIBUT and NITMH after wearing orthokeratology lenses for 1 mo, effectively enhancing tear film stability in patients wearing orthokeratology lenses.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin combined with indobufen in the treatment of elderly patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) complicated with large atheromatous ischemic stroke (LAA-IS) during convalescence.Methods:The clinical data of 102 elderly patients with DKD complicated with LAA-IS during convalescence from September 2018 to April 2022 in Baoding Second Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 51 patients were treated with atorvastatin combined with indobufen (observation group), 51 patients were treated with atorvastatin combined with aspirin (control group), and both groups were treated continuously for 6 months. The prethrombotic state indexes, neurological function and quality of daily life, carotid artery ultrasound indexes, renal fibrosis indexes before treatment and after treatment were compared between two group. The prethrombotic state indexes included arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) induction platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen (FIB), protein C; the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to evaluate the neurological function, and the modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to evaluate the quality of daily life; carotid artery ultrasound indexes included carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and maximum plaque area; the renal fibrosis indexes included transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), hyaluronic acid and platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). The adverse reactions were recorded. Results:There were no statistical differences in the all indexes before treatment between two groups ( P>0.05). In two groups, compared before treatment, the AA induction platelet aggregation rate, ADP induction platelet aggregation rate, FIB, NIHSS score, IMT and maximum plaque area after treatment were significantly lower, the protein C and MBI score were significantly higher, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); but there were no statistical differences after treatment between two groups ( P>0.05). The TGF-β 1, MMP-9, hyaluronic acid and PDGF-BB after treatment in two groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the indexes in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (39.46 ± 6.89) μg/L vs. (45.04 ± 8.20) μg/L, (278.46 ± 49.39) μg/L vs. (327.30 ± 57.28) μg/L, (102.37 ± 20.62) μg/L vs. (116.84 ± 24.97) μg/L vs. (25.26 ± 4.45) μg/L vs. (28.13 ± 5.08) μg/L, with statistically significant differences( P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 7.84% (4/51) vs. 23.53% (12/51), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with atorvastatin combined with aspirin, atorvastatin combined with indobufen in elderly patients with DKD complicated with LAA-IS during convalescence has the same effect in improving the related indicators of prethrombotic state, reducing neurological function deficit, improving the ability of daily living, and reversing carotid atherosclerosis. However, atorvastatin combined with indobufen can further protect renal function with higher safety.

ObjectiveTo explore the syndrome elements and evolving patterns of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute on chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) at different stages. MethodsClinical information of 1,058 hospitalized HBV-ACLF patients, including 618 in the early stage, 355 in the middle stage, and 85 in the late stage, were collected from 18 clinical centers across 12 regions nationwide from January 1, 2012 to February 28, 2015. The “Hepatitis B-related Chronic and Acute Liver Failure Chinese Medicine Clinical Questionnaire” were designed to investigate the basic information of the patients, like the four diagnostic information (including symptoms, tongue, pulse) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and to count the frequency of the appearance of the four diagnostic information. Factor analysis and cluster analysis were employed to determine and statistically analyze the syndrome elements and patterns of HBV-ACLF patients at different stages. ResultsThere were 76 four diagnostic information from 1058 HBV-ACLF patients, and 53 four diagnostic information with a frequency of occurrence ≥ 5% were used as factor analysis entries, including 36 symptom information, 12 tongue information, and 5 pulse information. Four types of TCM patterns were identified in HBV-ACLF, which were liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern, qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern, liver-kidney yin deficiency pattern, and spleen-kidney yang-deficiency pattern. In the early stage, heat (39.4%, 359/912) and dampness (27.5%, 251/912) were most common, and the pattern of the disease was dominated by liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern (74.6%, 461/618); in the middle stage, dampness (30.2%, 187/619) and blood stasis (20.7%, 128/619) were most common, and the patterns of the disease were dominated by liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern (53.2%, 189/355), and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern (27.6%, 98/355); and in the late stage, the pattern of the disease was dominated by qi deficiency (26.3%, 40/152) and yin deficiency (20.4%, 31/152), and the patterns were dominated by qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern (36.5%, 31/85), and liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern (25.9%, 22/85). ConclusionThere are significant differences in the distribution of syndrome elements and patterns at different stages of HBV-ACLF, presenting an overall trend of evolving patterns as "from excess to deficiency, transforming from excess to deficiency", which is damp-heat → blood stasis → qi-blood yin-yang deficiency.
