Objective: To investigate the impact of RhE antigen-matched transfusion during liver transplantation on early postoperative recovery and complications. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, ninety-five patients undergoing liver transplantation at Kunming First People's Hospital between January 2022 and July 2025 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (RhE-mismatched transfusion, n=57) and Group 2 (RhE-matched transfusion, n=38). The baseline data, complete blood counts, hepatic and renal function, coagulation parameters, and complication rates between the two groups were compared at postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The baseline characteristics were well-balanced and comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). The early postoperative mortality rate in the mismatched group (31.58%, 18/57) was significantly higher than that in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38) (P=0.017). The incidence of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy was significantly higher in the mismatched group (50.88%, 29/57) than in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38) (P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative haemorrhage in the mismatched group (24.56%, 14/57) was higher than that in the matched group (5.26%, 2/38), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.014). The incidence of perioperative infection in the mismatched group (28.07%, 16/57) was higher than that in the matched group (10.53%, 4/38), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.04). Corresponding odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals indicated a lower risk of these adverse events in the matched group. On postoperative day 1, the change in activated partial thromboplastin time (-1.6, 20.5) in the mismatched group was greater than in the matched group (-0.2, 5.5). The change in international normalised ratio (-0.56, 1.22) in the mismatched group was greater than in the matched group (-0.18, 0.32), while the change in albumin (-4.0, 4.8) was smaller in the mismatched group than in the matched group (-2.5, 8.8). On postoperative day 5, the change in albumin (-0.41±7.83) in the mismatched group was smaller than in the matched group (2.68±4.53). At postoperative day 7, the change in albumin in the mismatched group (-0.61±7.38) was smaller than that in the matched group (2.51±5.85), while the change in D-dimer in the mismatched group (0.73, 7.4) was greater than that in the matched group (-1.6, 4.3). On postoperative day 10, the mismatched group exhibited significantly higher fibrinogen levels (-1.21, 1.78) than the matched group (-0.49, 0.97), and significantly longer prothrombin times (-11.3, -2.7) than the matched group (-6.2, -0.8) (all P<0.05). The matched group exhibited a mean overall survival (OS) of 32.803 months (95% CI:29.171-36.436 months), significantly exceeding the mismatched group's 28.996 months (95% CI:24.202-33.790 months). The log-rank test yielded statistically significant results (χ =4.307, P=0.038). Conclusion: Implementing RhE blood group-matched transfusion during liver transplantation may help reduce early postoperative mortality and the incidence of major complication rates, promote faster recovery of coagulation and liver function, and thereby improve short-term patient outcomes.

Objective To analyze the incidence and influencing factors of workplace violence (WPV) against nurses in tertiary hospitals in Western China, and to conduct a qualitative exploration based on the lived experiences of nurses who have suffered WPV. Methods A total of 1 294 nurses from 21 tertiary hospitals across 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in western China were selected as the research subjects using a convenience sampling method. Investigation was performed among the nurses using the Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire and the Implementation Status of Hospital Violence Prevention Measures Questionnaire. Additionally, a total of 18 nurses who had experienced WPV were selected for semi-structured qualitative interviews. Results The overall incidence of WPV among the nurses was 47.5%, with incidences of psychological, physical, and sexual violence at 42.0%, 7.3%, and 3.5%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that male nurses had a higher risk of experiencing WPV than female nurses (P<0.01); widowed/divorced nurses had a higher risk than unmarried nurses (P<0.05); both head nurses and department head nurses had a higher risk than general nurses (both P<0.01); and nurses with lower trust in hospitals had a higher risk than those with higher trust (P<0.01). Qualitative interviews revealed that WPV often stemmed from the accumulation of patients′ negative emotions during medical care, exacerbated by poor communication and unmet treatment expectations. Nurses tended to adopt avoidance and tolerance strategies when facing conflict, lacking effective coping skills. Following WPV incidents, nurses frequently experienced anxiety and burnout, relying mainly on self-regulation or confiding in colleagues to cope with the impact of WPV. Hospital responses to WPV are largely passive, with insufficient dedicated departments and psychological support mechanisms, indicating a need for improved institutional frameworks. Conclusion WPV among nurses in tertiary hospitals in Western China remains a serious concern. Hospital management should prioritize high-risk groups such as male and widowed/divorced nurses, and strengthen psychological support systems and standardized reporting procedures to mitigate WPV and to enhance nursing quality.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of against-lateral correction Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)in treating atlanto-axial joint disorder(AAJD)and imaging changes.Methods:A total of 142 patients with AAJD were recruited.They were randomly allocated to a trial group and a control group using the random number table method,with 71 participants in each group.The trial group was treated with against-lateral correction Tuina 3 times weekly.The control group was offered conventional physical traction therapy once daily.The interventions lasted 2 weeks in both groups.The two groups of participants were observed before and after treatment for their changes in the global pain scale(GPS)score,visual analog scale(VAS)score for dizziness assessment,cervical range of motion(ROM)in rotation,and the extent of atlanto-dental displacement.Results:The GPS and VAS scores dropped after treatment in both groups(P<0.05)and were lower in the trial group than in the control group after treatment and at the follow-up(P<0.05).Participants in the trial group achieved a significant increase in the cervical ROM in rotation after treatment and at the follow-up compared to the pre-treatment value(P<0.05)and surpassed the control group(P<0.05);the control group only showed an increase in the left-side rotation(P<0.05).After the intervention,neither the intra-group nor the between-group comparison revealed significant differences in the extent of atlanto-dental displacement(P>0.05),though the trial group presented an improving tendency.Conclusion:Compared to physical traction,the against-lateral correction Tuina method works more significantly in improving pain,dizziness,and ROM in AAJD patients.

Objective To compare the distribution characteristics and drug resistance of mucous and non-mucous Streptococcus pneumoniae(SP).Methods SP isolated from clinical specimens of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen Medical College from January 2023 to June 2024 were collected.They were isolated,cultured and identified,and their susceptibility to antibacterial drugs was determined.Results A total of 291 SP strains were isolated,of which 20 strains were mucous SP and 271 strains were non-mucous SP.Children played a dominant role of non-mucous SP infection,but mucous SP mainly infected adults and the children above 5 years old.Both phenotypes of SP were mainly characterized by pulmonary infection.Non-mucous SP had a relatively high sensitivity rate to vancomycin,linezolid,penicillin,ertapenem,chloramphenicol,levofloxacin,moxifloxacin and ofloxacin.It had a high resistance rate to compound sulfamethoxazole,clindamycin,erythromycin and tetracycline.Mucous SP was completely sensitive to penicillin,amoxicillin,cefotaxime,ceftriaxone,ertapenem,vancomycin,linezolid,levofloxacin and moxifloxacin,and had a relatively high resistance rate to clindamycin,erythromycin and tetracycline.Conclusion The laboratory should enhance the detection capacity of mucous SP.Mucous SP is highly sensitive to common antibiotics.Clinicians should select antibiotics based on drug sensitivity results to delay the occurrence of drug resistance.

Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of five elements music of traditional Chinese medicine and western classical music on the sleep quality of stroke patients, and to compare the difference between the two, to provide a reference for the clinical care measures to improve the sleep quality of stroke patients.Methods:By adopting a randomized controlled trial, 75 stroke patients who were hospitalized in the rehabilitation hospital of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2022 to July 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method as the study subjects, and the patients were randomly divided the conventional treatment group, the five-element music group, and the classical music group according to the method of randomized numerical table with 25 cases in each group. On the basis of general treatment, the conventional treatment group took sleep health education, the five elements music group were given five-element music intervention based on conventional treatment, and the classical music group were given classical music intervention based on conventional treatment. The changes of Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and polysomnography (PSG) examination parameters in the 3 groups were compared.Results:There were 2 cases of shedding in the conventional treatment group, and 23 cases were finally included, 15 males and 8 females, aged (54.02 ± 7.80) years; there were no cases of shedding in the five-element music group, and 25 cases were finally included, 12 males and 13 females, aged (53.69 ± 6.02) years; and there was 1 case of shedding in the classical music group, and 24 cases were finally included, 10 males and 14 females, aged (52.34 ± 7.08) years. Comparison of AIS, PSQI and PSG scores among the 3 groups of patients before intervention showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the AIS scores and PSQI scores of the 3 groups were (9.48 ± 1.53) and (12.22 ± 2.94), (6.76 ± 1.36) and (7.64 ± 2.08), (7.46 ± 1.38) and (10.33 ± 2.82), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=23.21, 18.44, both P<0.05). PSG sleep structure parameters showed that the total sleep time, REM latency time and sleep efficiency of the patients in the five-element music group after the intervention were (399.89 ± 51.76) min, (136.26 ± 25.36) min, (78.87 ± 8.21)%, higher than (368.45 ± 47.88) min, (124.46 ± 26.25) min, (73.36 ± 7.86)% in the classical music group and (345.48 ± 38.69) min, (111.37 ± 23.23) min, (69.44 ± 7.88)% in the conventional treatment group, and the differences between three groups were statistically significant ( F=8.27, 5.93, and 8.49, all P<0.05); the sleep latency time, awakening time, and number of awakenings in the five-element music group were (28.86 ± 17.68) min, (54.37 ± 25.15) min, and (2.72 ± 1.19) times, respectively, which were lower than those in the classical music group (35.67 ± 16.99) min, (64.28 ± 29.34) min, and (3.67 ± 1.12) times and (42.38 ± 18.96) min, (78.38 ± 37.26) min, (4.87 ± 1.46) times in the conventional treatment group, and the differences between three groups were statistically significant ( F=3.51, 3.66, and 17.56, all P<0.05). The results of the PSG sleep progression showed that the duration of the N1 stage of sleep in the five-element music group after the intervention was (95.71 ± 15.23) min, which was higher than (83.20 ± 18.34) min in the classical music group and (80.93 ± 16.47) min in the conventional treatment group, and the difference between three groups was statistically significant ( F=5.53, P<0.01); the N3 stage sleep time and the sleep percentage of the five-element music group after the intervention were respectively (84.23 ± 20.98) min and (23.98 ± 5.89)%, which were higher than (65.33 ± 18.82) min and (18.34 ± 3.78)% in the classical music group and (45.87 ± 18.65) min and (15.03 ± 5.56)% in the conventional treatment group, and the differences between three groups were statistically significant ( F=23.08, 18.50, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Both five elements music and classical music can improve the sleep quality of stroke patients, and the effect of five elements music to improve sleep is more significant.

Occupational health is a discipline dedicated to the identification,assessment,prediction,and control of occupational hazards in the workplace and their potential impacts on health.Its core objective is to ensure the safety of workers through targeted preventive strategies and protective mechanisms,thereby minimizing health risks caused by occupational hazards and promoting physical health,mental well-being,and overall social welfare in the workplace.The"three simultaneities"of occupational health protection facilities in construction projects(hereinafter referred to as"three simultaneities")refers to the principle that occupational disease prevention facilities must be designed,constructed,and put into operation simultaneously with the main project.The implementation of"three simultaneities"involves several stages:a preliminary assessment of occupational disease risks,the design of occupational disease protection facilities in accordance with relevant standards,and ensuring these facilities are constructed in parallel with the primary engineering project to maintain integrity and effectiveness.During the construction phase,occupational disease prevention facilities must be constructed simultaneously with the main project to ensure their integrity and effectiveness.Upon project completion,the construction unit is responsible for evaluating the control effects of occupational disease hazards and conducting the acceptance of occupational disease prevention facilities to ensure the occupational health of employees.The implementation of the"three simultaneities"for occupational disease protection facilities in construction projects is a mandatory national regulation,and non-compliance may result in legal penalties such as fines and forced suspension of work.However,for some laboratory animal institutions,the implementation of the"three simultaneities"remains a challenge.This paper aims to provide practical guidance and feasible implementation strategies for such institutions by introducing the development history of the"three simultaneities"in occupational health,explaining its relevance and necessity in the context of laboratory animal facilities,and outlining step-by-step procedures for compliance and implementation.

Objective:Based on the activities of Helicobacter pylori ( HP) screening in Jiangsu Province in 2024, to evaluate the overall management ability in HP screening, testing, treatment and follow-up in primary medical facilities. Methods:From May 15 to October 18, 2024, the data of HP screening and treatment were retrospectively collected from 79 township health centers, community hospitals, and community health service centers in Jiangsu Province. The rates of screening completion, urea breath test (UBT) completion, treatment rate, UBT follow-up completion, and HP eradication were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:The completion rate of HP screening was 94.45% (15 489/16 400). There were 6 604 cases (42.64%) with serum HP antibody positive among the 15 489 individuals who completed screening. The positive rate of serum HP antibody in males was higher than that in females (44.77%, 2 643/5 904 vs. 41.32%, 3 961/9 585), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=17.69, P<0.001). The positive rates of serum HP antibody in screened individuals aged 18 to 19, 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 75 years old were 22.38% (32/143), 36.12% (1 168/3 234), 45.01% (3 240/7 199), and 44.05% (2 164/4 913), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant( χ2=100.73, P<0.001). Among the 6 604 HP antibody-positive individuals, 4 381 cases completed UBT, with a UBT completion rate of 66.34% (4 381/6 604). There were 3 197 individuals with both HP serum antibody and UBT positive, the consistency rate of the 2 tests was 72.97% (3 197/4 381). Totally 2 737 cases received treatment, with a treatment completion rate of 85.61% (2 737/3 197); 2 327 individuals underwent UBT follow-up, with a follow-up completion rate of 85.02% (2 327/2 737). During follow-up, the result of UBT was negative in 1 982 individuals, and the HP eradication rate was 85.17% (1 982/2 327). Conclusions:There are deficiencies in the completion rate of HP screening, testing, treatment, and follow-up in primary hospitals, especially in the completion rate of UBT, which may be related to cognitive insufficiency for HP in residents. It is necessary to strengthen the training of physicians′ abilities in primary hospitals, optimize the allocation of drug resources, enhance health education, and increase residents′ participation and compliance.

Dental implantology has developed rapidly for over half a century,since pure titanium(99.7％)dental cylindrical threaded implants were exploited and osseointegration was introduced in 1960s by Prof.Br?nemark.The long term retention rates of 10 years or more are over 95％.However,the biological complications jeopardize the long term effects of dental implant treatment seriously.The prevalence of dental implant biological complications varies greatly among different reports resulting from the disparities on the defini-tions of dental implant biological complications.After analyzing and summarizing the major opinions proposed internationally in recent years,the consensus for the definition of dental implant biological complications has been reached.Generally the dental implant biologi-cal implications can be classified into early stage(before restoration)biological complications and late stage(after restoration)biological complications.The early stage biological complications include acute and chronic infections,pain,soft tissue deficiency,and osseointegration failure,etc.The late stage complications include peri-implant diseases(peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis),soft tissue deficiency around implant,implant loosening and dropping off,etc.The various risk factors related to different dental implant biological complications,the strategies of the prevention and treatment for the dental implant biological complications have been discussed comprehensively,and the consensus has been reached.It is aimed to advocate the dentist to pay more attention to the early prevention of the biological implant complications,to promote more researches on the implant biological complications,and to help elevate the level of dental implantology in our country.

OBJECTIVE: To assess health equity in the Yangtze River region to improve understanding of the correlation between hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and socioeconomic factors. METHODS: From 2014-2016, data on HFMD incidence, population statistics, economic indicators, and meteorology from 26 cities along the Yangtze River were analyzed. A multi-city random-effects meta-analysis was performed to study the relationship between temperature and HFMD transmission, and health equity was assessed with respect to socio-economic impact. RESULTS: Over the study period, 919,458 HFMD cases were reported, with Shanghai (162,303) having the highest incidence and Tongling (5,513) having the lowest. Males were more commonly affected (male-to-female ratio, 1.49:1). The exposure-response relationship had an M-shaped curve, with two HFMD peaks occurring at 4 °C and 26 °C. The relative risk had two peaks at 1.30 °C (1.834, 95% CI: 1.204-2.794) and 31.4 °C (1.143, 95% CI: 0.901-1.451), forming an M shape, with the first peak higher than the second. The most significant impact of temperature on HFMD was observed between -2 °C and 18.1 °C. The concentration index (0.2463) indicated moderate concentration differences, whereas the Theil index (0.0418) showed low inequality in distribution. CONCLUSION The incidence of HFMD varied across cities, particularly with changes in temperature. Economically prosperous areas showed higher risks, indicating disparities. Targeted interventions in these areas are crucial for mitigating the risk of HFMD.
