Objective:To study the epidemic characteristics of scrub typhus in Yantai City from 2006 to 2022, and provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of scrub typhus in Yantai City.Methods:In the subsystem "Infectious Disease Monitoring System" of the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System", data on the outbreak of scrub typhus in Yantai City from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2022 were collected and processed using software such as SPSS 23.0 for descriptive statistics.Results:A total of 599 scrub typhus cases were reported in Yantai City from 2006 to 2022, with an average annual reported incidence of 0.51/100 000. The reported incidence showed an upward trend year by year from 2006 to 2014 (χ 2trend = 144.72, P < 0.001), and reached a peak in 2014 (1.04/100 000). There was another small peak in 2019 (0.91/100 000). The incidence of scrub typhus showed a clear seasonal unimodal distribution, with October being the peak, accounting for 72.62% (435/599). In addition to Changdao County, other 12 cities (districts) reported scrub typhus cases. The top 3 cities with average annual reported incidence were Zhaoyuan City (1.58/100 000), Laizhou City (1.47/100 000) and Laiyang City (0.75/100 000). In all reported cases, the male to female ratio was 1.00∶1.07 (289∶310). The cases were mainly concentrated in the age range of 50 to 79, accounting for 74.46% (446/599). There was a statistically significant difference in the number of patients in different age groups in different years ( H = 38.71, P = 0.001). Farmers accounted for 88.65% (531/599) of the affected population. Conclusions:The incidence of scrub typhus in Yantai City shows an increasing trend and is widely distributed. It is recommended to strengthen the diagnosis, monitoring and infection management of scrub typhus.

Objective To analyze the postoperative effect of probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping on adenomatous colorectal polyps (ACP).Methods Patients with ACP diagnosed and treated in Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2021 to May 2022 were recruited as study subjects,and were divided into control group(probiotics) and test group (probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping).The main outcome measure of this study was the 1-year recurrence rate of ACP.The secondary outcome measures were the treatment efficiency and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores at 4 weeks and 1 year after ACP surgery.Results The study finally included 199 patients,with 100 in the control group and 99 in the test group.The 1-year postoperative treatment efficiency of the test group was higher than that of the control group (P=0.012);the recurrence rate was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of polyp size and number between the two groups of patients with recurrence (P>0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of stool habit score,stool nature score,blood in stool score,stool frequency score,abdominal pain score and total score (P>0.05).The stool habit score,stool nature score,stool blood score,stool frequency score,abdominal pain score and total score of the patients in both groups were significantly lower than those of the preoperative period at 4 weeks and 1 year after the operation (P<0.05).Stool habit score,stool nature score,stool blood score,stool frequency score,abdominal pain score and total score were lower in the test group than in the control group at 4 weeks and 1 year postoperatively (P<0.05).Conclusion Probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping can effectively improve the TCM syndrome scores after ACP surgery and reduce the recurrence rate of ACP.

Objective:To investigate the serum levels of miR-19b and miR-744-5p in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to analyze the clinical value of miR-19b and miR-744-5p in the diagnosis of NSCLC.Methods:A total of 226 NSCLC patients (NSCLC group) and 100 healthy people (control group) admitted to Jilin Cancer Hospital from August 2019 to August 2022 were selected as research objects. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure and compare the serum levels of miR-19b and miR-744-5p between the NSCLC group and the control group, and the relationships between the two indicators and different clinical and pathological characteristics of NSCLC patients were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the clinical value of miR-19b, miR-744-5p and their joint detection in the diagnosis of NSCLC.Results:Compared with the control group, the serum miR-19b level (3.86±1.25 vs. 1.06±0.41) in the NSCLC group significantly increased ( t=21.87, P<0.001), while the miR-744-5p level (1.80±0.48 vs. 5.75±1.69) significantly decreased ( t=32.36, P<0.001). The serum miR-19b levels in NSCLC patients with pathological types of adenocarcinoma, maximum tumor diameter ≥3 cm, medium to low differentiation, stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and with lymph node metastasis were higher than those in squamous cell carcinoma ( t=5.94, P<0.001), maximum tumor diameter <3 cm ( t=2.65, P=0.009), well differentiation ( t=4.33, P<0.001), stageⅠ-Ⅱ ( t=12.32, P<0.001), patients without lymph node metastasis ( t=8.13, P<0.001), while miR-744-5p levels were lower than those in squamous cell carcinoma ( t=8.27, P<0.001), tumor maximum diameter <3 cm ( t=5.34, P<0.001), well differentiation ( t=6.95, P<0.001), stageⅠ-Ⅱ ( t=11.40, P<0.001), patients without lymph node metastasis ( t=10.36, P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of serum miR-19b combined with miR-744-5p in the diagnosis of NSCLC was 0.914 (95% CI: 0.841-0.959), with sensitivity and specificity of 90.9% and 84.0%, respectively. AUC was significantly than that of the single indicator detection of miR-19b (AUC=0.824, 95% CI: 0.770-0.869) and miR-744-5p (AUC=0.783, 95% CI: 0.709-0.838) ( Z=2.28, P=0.021; Z=2.36, P=0.017) . Conclusion:Serum miR-19b level of NSCLC patients is increased, miR-744-5p levels is decreased, and joint detection of serum miR-19b and miR-744-5p has high clinical value in the diagnosis of NSCLC.
