Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of the toxicant and drug detection in clinical poisoning diseases and analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with positive poison test.Methods:This study was a multicenter retrospective cohort study. Sampling and clinical information data were collected between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2022 from 41 tertiary hospitals in and around Jiangsu province. The clinical characteristics of patients with positive toxicology tests were analyzed, and the correlation between the drug sampling situation and the test results was analyzed..Results:A total of 895 patients with clinical diagnosis or suspected poisoning were enrolled in this study. Among them, 652 patients had positive results, accounting for 72.85%. Among all positive patients, 506 patients were exposed to a single poison and 147 patients were exposed to multiple poisons. The top three poisons were pesticide herbicides (202 cases, 30.98%), sedative and psychotropic drugs (151 cases, 23.16%), and pesticide insecticides (97 cases, 14.88%). Among 541 patients with clear exposure history, the positive rate was 78.19%, and among 354 patients with unclear exposure history, the positive rate was 64.69%. The top three poisons (drugs) of patients with unclear exposure history were sedative and psychotropic (82, 12.58%), herbicide (26, 3.99%), and rodenticide (22, 3.37%). Patients who admitted to hospital for unexplained consciousness disorder, abnormal blood coagulation function and multiple organ dysfunction were more likely to obtain positive poison test results.Conclusions:There is uncertainty in the exposure history of poisoning diseases, so it is necessary to improve the detection of toxic substances as soon as possible. Toxicant testing should be considered when patients have impaired consciousness, abnormal coagulation function and multiple organ dysfunction.

Objective:
To explore the related factors of subependymal hemorrhage (SEH) and cerebral hemodynamic changes.
Methods:
From October 2012 to October 2017, 200 cases of children with subependymal hemorrhage diagnosed by ultrasound in our department of pediatrics were selected as the observation group , and a total of 150 children who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics in the same period due to craniocerebral diseases and other serious diseases were selected as control group. The independent risk factors of the children in the observation group were analyzed, and the difference of the maximum systolic blood flow velocity (SV), the diastolic maximum flow velocity (DV), the systolic and diastolic velocity ratio (S/D), the resistance index (RI), and the pulsatile index (PI) were compared between the two groups.
Results:
Neonatal asphyxia, preterm birth, acidosis, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), patent ductus arteriosus and coagulation dysfunction were independent risk factors for subependymal hemorrhage. The bleeding side SV and DV of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant difference (

Objective This study aimed to analyze the knowledge, attitude, behavior, and practice of pneumococcal vaccination in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods From January to March 2018, 3000 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly selected from patients with type 2 diabetes registered and managed in community health service centers to participate in a questionnaire survey, using multi-stage cluster random sampling. The questionnaire included basic information, pneumococcal vaccine awareness, and pneumococcal vaccination status and inoculation intention, 2896 valid questionnaires were collected. The chi-squared test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the knowledge, attitude, behavior, and practice and influencing factors of pneumococcal vaccination. Results Of all the patients, 1267 (43.75%) patients with type 2 diabetes were willing to receive pneumococcal vaccination, and 23 (0.79%) patients with type 2 diabetes were vaccinated against pneumococcal, 1295(44.72%) patients with type 2 diabetes believed that patients with chronic diseases were susceptible to pneumococcal. Eight hundred seventy-seven (30.38%) patients believed that pneumococcal vaccination for chronic disease patients could reduce the risk of outpatient, hospitalization and death. Seven hundred ninety-nine (27.59%) patients believed that diabetic patients were the primary recipients of the pneumococcal vaccine. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that retired patients; those who thought that patients with chronic diseases were susceptible to pneumonia; those who thought that pneumococcal vaccination could reduce the risk of needing outpatient care, hospitalization, and death;and those who thought that diabetes was the priority of pneumococcal vaccination were more willing to receive pneumococcal vaccination (OR=1.442, 0.764, 1.494, 1.713, P all<0.05). Conclusion Patients with type 2 diabetes in Shenzhen have lower pneumococcal vaccine awareness, inoculation intention, and vaccination rates. Health education on the prevention of diabetes complications and pneumococcal vaccination should be promoted.

Objective:
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of intervention and management of the patients with dyslipidemia in some districts in Shenzhen and provide health economic basis for prevention and control of dyslipidemia.
Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive community intervention among patients for dyslipidemia management, enrolling 204 cases of dyslipidemia in the intervention group and 200 cases in the control group through multi-stage cluster random sampling. We collected baseline and intervention data, such as the cost of institutional intervention (labor costs, office expenses, material expenses, loss of low-value consumables, service costs, and depreciation of fixed assets), patient costs (direct and indirect medical costs), effect indicators (lipid control rate, lipid improvement rate, and lipid exacerbation rate) to analyze cost-effectiveness.
Results:
After 12 months of the comprehensive community intervention, the total cost for the intervention group was 1 321.62 yuan per capita; the cost per patient was 973.33 yuan; and per capita institutional cost was 348.29 yuan. Total cholesterol, triglyceide, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of intervention group decreased by 0.43 mmol/L, 0.16 mmol/L, and 0.42 mmol/L, respectively, after the intervention, and there was a significant difference before and after the intervention (
