Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of leptospirosis in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, from 2007 to 2024, so as to provide a basis for improving the prevention and control strategies of leptospirosis. Methods: Data pertaining to leptospirosis cases in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024 were collected through the Monitoring and Reporting Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of leptospirosis in terms of time, region, population, interval from the onset of the disease to diagnosis and the outbreak of the epidemic. Results: A total of 81 cases of leptospirosis were reported in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024, with an average annual reported incidence of 0.08/100 000. The peak incidence occurred from August to September, with 57 cases accounting for 70.37%. Leptospirosis cases were reported in 9 counties (cities, districts) in Jinhua City. Pan'an County reported the most cases, with 52 cases accounting for 64.20%. There were 54 male cases and 27 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 2∶1. The majority of cases were aged over 40 years, with 73 cases accounting for 90.12%. The average reported incidence of leptospirosis showed an upward trend with the increase of age (P<0.05), and the highest incidence of leptospirosis was at the 60-<80 age group (0.21/100 000). The majority of patients were farmers, with 77 cases accounting for 95.06%. The median interval from onset to diagnosis was 4.00 (interquartile range, 6.00) days. There were significant differences in the interval from onset to diagnosis among cases in Dongyang City compared with Pan'an County, Wuyi County, and Wucheng District, between Pan'an County and Jindong District, Wucheng District, and between Wuyi County and Wucheng District (all P<0.05). In 2007, one outbreak of leptospirosis was reported, which occurred in Jiuhe Township, Pan'an County, with 36 reported cases. Conclusions The reported incidence of leptospirosis in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024 is generally low. The high-incidence period is from August to September, and Pan'an County is the high-incidence area. Males over 40 years and farmers are the key populations for prevention and control. It is recommended to strengthen epidemic surveillance and health education for high-risk populations.

OBJECTIVE To establish the analysis methods of 33 banned pesticides in Ginkgo Biloba leaves and the extracts, and conduct the risk assessment study. METHODS One hundred and thirty-six batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves and 58 batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves extract were detected by UPLC-MS and GC-MS. The acute and chronic intake risk of pesticide residues in samples were calculated by point assessment method, and the risk scores of the pesticides were calculated by the Britain veterinary residues matrix ranking. RESULTS Six kinds of banned pesticides were detected in 136 batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves, the total detection rate was 35.29%, and the detection amount was 0.002−0.210 mg·kg−1. The chronic dietary intake risk was 0.018%−0.620%, and the acute dietary intake risk was 0.000 1%−0.014 0%, indicated that the dietary exposure risk of pesticides in Ginkgo biloba leaves was at a low level. Two kinds of banned pesticides were detected in 58 batches of Ginkgo Biloba leaves extract, the detection rate was 55.17%, and the detection amount was 0.002−1.788 mg·kg−1. The percentage of acceptable daily intake was 0.003%−0.143%, and the percentage of acute reference dose was 0.002 4%, which was also at a low level. Risk ranking results indicated that the risk of phorate was the highest and should be focused on the production and safety supervision. CONCLUSION The method has good stability, high precision and promising repeatability, which can be used for the detection of 33 prohibited pesticides in Ginkgo biloba leaves and their extracts. The results show that the residual amounts of 33 banned pesticides in Ginkgo Biloba leaves and its extracts were extremely low, and there is no significant health risks.

AIM: To observe the multimodal imaging characteristics of Best vitelliform macular dystrophy(BVMD).METHODS:The clinical data of 30 patients(60 eyes)diagnosed as BVMD at stage Ⅰ to Ⅳ in Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Eye Hospital from June 2016 to October 2022 were collected for a retrospective analysis, and all patients are binocular involved. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), slit lamp microscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, intraocular pressure, fundus photography, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence(FAF), fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA), electro-oculogram(EOG)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).RESULTS: A total of 30 patients(60 eyes)were included, with 8 eyes at stage Ⅰ, 24 eyes at stage Ⅱ, 22 eyes at stage Ⅲ and 6 eyes at stage Ⅵ. The imaging characteristics of fundus photography, FAF, FFA and SD-OCT were basically consistent with previous literature reports. EOG showed Arden ratio <1.55. OCTA could detect early lesions, observe the location of vitelliform substance, external segment of photoreceptor, fluid and choroidal neovascularization(CNV).CONCLUSION: Multimodal imaging assisted in diagnosing BVMD, reducing missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, among which OCTA had significant advantages over other examinations, and fast and non-invasive were its biggest advantages.

Objective To explore the changes in the expression of glucose transporters 1/4(GLUT1/4)and Sirtuins in the retina of rats with diabetes.Methods Twenty 8-week-old healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divid-ed into normal control and diabetic groups.Rats in the diabetic group received a disposable intraperitoneal injection of 60 mg·kg-1 streptozotocin to induce the diabetes model,while rats in the normal control group were injected with an equiva-lent amount of solvent.Body weight and blood glucose were measured at 2-week intervals.At 12 weeks after modeling,color Doppler ultrasound was applied to detect blood flow parameters in the central retinal artery(CRA)of rats;after an-esthetizing rats with sodium pentobarbital,eyeballs were harvested,and the pathological changes of rat retinal tissue were observed by hematoxylin & eosin(HE)staining.The expression of messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)for GLUT 1/4 and Sirtuins in the retina of rats were detected by immunohistochemical staining,Western blot and quantitative of reverse tran-scription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),respectively.Results At 12 weeks after modeling,compared with the normal control group,peak systolic velocity and end diastolic velocity were significantly lower in CRA of rats in the diabetic group(both P＜0.001);there were no significant differences in resistance index and pulsatility index(both P＞0.05).The HE staining results at 12 weeks after modeling showed that rats in the normal control group had clear structure in each layer of retinal tissues,closely and regularly arranged cells,and no obvious pathological changes;rats in the diabetic group showed decreased retinal thickness,blurred boundary of each layer,disordered structure and reduced cell number.Immu-nohistochemical staining at 12 weeks after modeling showed that GLUT 1 was mainly located in the retinal pigment epithelial layer of rats,and GLUT 4 was located in the ganglion cell layer,inner plexiform layer and photoreceptor layer.Western blot results showed that the relative expression of GLUT1 and GLUT 4 protein in the diabetic group were lower than that in the normal control group(both P＜0.05),and the relative expression of SIRT1-SIRT7 protein in the retina of rats in the di-abetic group were lower than those of the normal control group(all P＜0.05).qRT-PCR showed a decreased relative ex-pression of SIRT1-SIRT7 mRNA in the retina of rats in the diabetic group compared with that of the normal control group(allP＜0.01).Conclusion Diabetes can cause altered expression of GLUT1/4 and Sirtuins in the retinal tissue of rats,and GLUT1/4 and Sirtuins may be involved in the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To observe the sedative and analgesic effect of remazolam combined with sufentanil during ultrasound-guided nerve block in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in our hospital from January to June 2023 were selected.They were randomly assigned to two groups with 40 cases in each group.In anesthesia preparation room,one group was injected intravenously 10 ml remazolam(0.15 mg/kg)+ sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg(R group)and the other group was injected intravenously 10 ml normal saline +sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg(S group).Ultrasound-guided nerve block was performed 2 min later.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)of the two groups were observed during the process of postural position,nerve block puncture and drug injection.Whether there was any discomfort or body movement during the nerve block process were recorded.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate,and pulse oxygen saturation were measured at baseline,5 min after intravenous injection,nerve block injection,and 10 min after nerve block.Adverse reactions were noted.Results The VAS scores of the R group were 0 point at the time of postural position,nerve block puncture and drug injection,which were significantly lower than those of the S group(all P =0.000).The incidence of sore swelling,electrical sensation,and pain at the time of nerve block of the R group were lower than those of the S group(P<0.05).The incidence of transient glossoptosis of the R group was higher than that of the S group(6 cases vs.0 case,P =0.026).The MAP before and after nerve block in the S group remained at a high level(>95 mm Hg),and the highest MAP appeared at the time point of nerve block;while the MAP of the R group decreased and remained at 80-90 mm Hg after sedation.Conclusion Remazolam combined with sufentanil can provide safe,painless,fear free"comfort medical service"for nerve block sedation and analgesia in anesthesia preparation room,and does not increase the risk of nerve injury and local anesthetic poisoning.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)features of adult diffuse glioma,define the preoperative MRI enhancement grade(ET grade)of the disease,and explore the relationship of ET grade with isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH)mutation and WHO grade.Methods The clinical data of 306 cases of adult diffuse glioma confirmed by surgery and pathology admitted in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.There were 169 cases of mutant IDH and 137 cases of wildtype IDH.The differences in gender,age,MRI signal uniformity,clear tumor margin,obvious edema,compression of adjacent ventricles and ET grade were analyzed between the 2 types of IDH patients.A logistic regression model was established to identify the independent influencing factors for IDH mutation,and the correlation of ET grade with IDH status and WHO grade was analyzed.Results There were significant differences in age,whether the MRI signal was uniform,whether the tumor margin was clear,whether the edema was obvious,the compression of the adjacent ventricle and the ET grade in patients with different IDH status.The independent variables were screened by Forward method and then included in the logistic regression model.ET grade,age and tumor margin were independent influencing factors of IDH mutation status and negatively correlated with IDH mutation.For every 1 year increase in age,the probability of mutant IDH in adult diffuse glioma was decreased by 0.93 times.The accuracy of the established regression model for predicting IDH status was 0.859,the sensitivity was 0.852,the specificity was 0.869,and the AUC value was 0.922(0.892～0.952).ET grade was significantly correlated with WHO grade.The most prominent proportion of glioma patients with WHO grade 2 was noET,that with WHO grade 3 was ET2,and that with WHO grade 4 was ET3.Conclusion For adult diffuse glioma,preoperative MRI ET grade is negatively correlated with IDH mutation status,and positively with WHO grade.ET grade is helpful for determination of of IDH mutation status and WHO grade.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the narrow-band imaging(NBI)endoscopic characteristics of recurrent early glottic carcinoma patients after undergoing CO2 laser surgery with a suspend laryngoscopy.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on patients with early-stage glottic carcinoma(Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage)who received CO2 laser surgery under supportive laryngoscopy at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiao Tong University from January 2017 to December 2023.The medical history,treatment methods,laryngoscopy(including common white light endoscopy and NBI endoscopy),imaging examinations,and pathological results of patients with recurrent glottic carcinoma were collected at different time points including preoperation,postoperative 1 month,postoperative 3 months,and postoperative 6 months.The endoscopic characteristics of NBI in patients with recurrent glottic carcinoma were summarized.RESULTS First,among 18 patients with early-stage glottic cancer recurrence after CO2 laser,the diagnostic rate of NBI endoscopy for laryngeal cancer recurrence(88.89％,16/18)was significantly higher than that of common white light endoscopy(55.56％,10/18)(χ2=4.985,P=0.026).The intraepithelial papillary capillary loop(IPCL)was classified as a vertical vessel according to ELS in all relapsed patients.However,according to Ni classification,the IPCL of the 72.22％(13/18)were classified as type V,while the IPCL of 27.78％(5/18)showed suspicious abnormal neovascularization(punctate or dilated and curved).The proportion of patients with abnormal IPCL on the surgical surface at 1 month,3 months,and 6 months postoperatively was 0.00％,27.78％(5/18),and 61.11％(11/18),respectively,with statistically significant differences(χ2=16.164,P<0.001),which indicated that the longer the follow-up time for recurrent laryngeal cancer patients,the higher the proportion of patients with abnormal IPCL on the surface of the surgical area under NBI endoscopy.CONCLUSION For early glottic carcinoma after CO2 laser surgery with a suspend laryngoscopy,the appearance of suspicious new blood vessels with type Ⅴ IPCL and punctate or dilated curvature under NBI endoscopy may indicate early recurrence of laryngeal cancer.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the changes of temporary abnormal intraepithelial papillary capillary loop(IPCL)in the surgical area of early glottic laryngeal cancer after CO2 laser resection.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on early-stage glottic carcinoma patients who visited the Department of Otolaryngology,Head and Neck Surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital from January 2017 to November 2023.Patients who underwent CO2 laser surgery accepted electronic laryngoscopy examination at 1 month,3 months,and 6 months postoperatively(including white light endoscopy and narrowband imaging endoscopy(NBI),and their medical history,treatment methods,laryngoscopy images,imaging data,and pathological results before and after treatment were systematically collected.The changes in laryngoscopy characteristics at different follow-up times after surgery were analyzed.RESULTS This study included 55 patients with non recurrent early glottic carcinoma who underwent CO2 laser surgery.At 1 month,3 months,and 6 months after surgery,there were significant differences in the proportion of patients with pseudomembrane coverage(72.73%vs.25.45%vs.7.27%),granulation formation(60.00%vs.34.55%vs.1.82%),and abnormal IPCL(23.64%vs.7.27%vs.0.00%)on the surface of the surgical area(P<0.001),and abnormal IPCL(mainly type Va and Vb)can be observed under NBI endoscopy from 1 month to 3 months after surgery.Within 6 months after surgery,the pseudomembrane detachment,granulation regression,scar formation,and abnormal IPCL in the surgical area disappeared.CONCLUSION Early glottic carcinoma patients may experience temporary abnormal IPCL within 3 months after receiving CO2 laser resection,but the abnormal IPCL could disappear within 6 months after surgery for some patients.Therefore,close observation is necessary within 6 months after surgery and there is no need for urgent biopsy.
