Objective: To examine the changing trajectories of sleep problems and teacher support among first year middle school students and their covariant relationship,so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention strategy of sleep problems for the first year junior high school students. Methods: In September 2020, a multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 027 first year junior high school students from two schools of Anshun and Guiyang cities in Guizhou Province for survey and follow up assessments (T1:September 2020, T2:October 2020, T3:November 2020, T4:December 2020). The Student Perceived Teacher Support Behavior Questionnaire and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale were administered to assess sleep problems and teacher support among first year junior high school students. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between sleep problems and teacher support. A multivariate latent growth curve model was employed to analyze the changing trajectories and covariant relationship between teacher support and sleep problems, followed by a multi group analysis. Results: For first year junior high school students, teacher support scores at T1-T4 were 4.00 (3.47, 4.53), 4.00 (3.47, 4.58), 3.95 (3.47, 4.61) and 4.00 (3.48, 4.67), respectively; sleep problem scores were 0.83 (0.50, 1.17), 0.67 (0.50, 1.17), 0.83 (0.50, 1.17) and 0.67 (0.33, 1.17), respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that teacher support and sleep problems were negatively correlated across all four period ( r =-0.28 to -0.14, all P <0.01). Teacher support perceived by students showed a linear increasing trend (intercept=3.98, slope=0.02), while sleep problems showed a linear decreasing trend (intercept=0.86, slope= -0.02 ) (all P <0.05). The multivariate latent growth model indicated that the rate of increase in teacher support after enrollment effectively predicted the rate of decrease in sleep problem levels ( β=-0.34, P <0.01). Multigroup analysis showed that the covariant relationship was not moderated by gender or boarding status (both P >0.05). Conclusions The increase in teacher support experienced by first year junior high school students during the transition period after enrollment, accompanied by a reduction in sleep problems, constitutes a dynamic protective process. The process is not moderated by gender or boarding status.

Objective: Blood safety surveillance is a critical measure for the objective assessment of blood quality and enhancing transfusion safety. This study aims to comprehensively understand the current status of blood safety surveillance and management in blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province, systematically analyze existing problems and vulnerabilities, and provide a basis for optimizing management strategies and improving capabilities to ensure blood safety. Methods: The Blood Safety Surveillance questionnaire was designed, covering adverse donor reaction reporting, management of adverse events, and transfusion adverse reaction feedback. An online survey was conducted via Questionnaire Star platform among 21 blood collection and supply institutions in the province, gathering information on management systems, process implementation, and utilization of monitoring data. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed using Excel. Results: The questionnaire response rate and validity rate were both 100%. Blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province have generally established a blood safety surveillance system and achieved positive outcomes. Regarding adverse events in blood collection and supply, 95.24% (20 institutions) have established reporting procedures, and 66.67% (14) collect information through multiple channels such as internal reports, external reports, and statistical trend feedback. A total of 90.48% (19) institutions regularly summarize and analyze adverse event data, and 85.71% (18) produce reports with improvement recommendations based on this analysis.71.43% (15) institutions implement reward and penalty measures, and 71.43% (15) report underreporting or omission due to accountability or performance concerns. In terms of monitoring adverse blood donation reactions, all blood collection and supply institutions have established full-process management systems.76.19% (16) collect data through multiple approaches, including on-site donation records, voluntary donor reports, and donor follow-ups. Adverse reactions were followed up in 95.24% (20) of institutions with 65% (13) completing follow-ups within 24 hours.80.95% (17) have established investigation procedures, while 66.67% (14) believe underreporting or omission still occurs. All blood collection and supply institutions regularly compile statistics on adverse donation reactions. Of these, 85.71% (18) institutions providing feedback to management departments and 90.48% (19) analyzing the data and making recommendations.76.19% (16) institutions use monitoring data for return donor management and targeted care, and 71.43% (15 stations) incorporate it into management reviews. Regarding adverse transfusion reactions, 95.24% (20) institutions have established and implemented procedures for isolating, recalling, and tracing of problematic blood units. However, only 42.86% (9) have established feedback mechanisms of adverse transfusion reaction with hospitals, and only 19.05% (4) support direct reporting via information systems.47.62% (10) institutions regularly analyze adverse transfusion reaction data, and 19.05% (4) provide feedback and recommendations to relevant hospitals. All blood collection and supply institutions reported challenges in collecting hospital feedback, citing complexities in data collection and reporting processes. Conclusion: Blood safety surveillance systems have been preliminarily established in Sichuan Province. However, further strengthening is still required, including conducting in-depth data analysis and utilization, standardizing the configuration of emergency medications and equipment, and improving feedback mechanisms for adverse transfusion reactions. To improve the overall level of blood safety management, it is recommended to strengthen closed-loop data management, improve feedback mechanisms between blood collection and supply institutions and hospitals, foster a non-punitive reporting culture, and systematically advance the regionalization and standardization of the monitoring system. These efforts will contribute to sustainably improving the overall effectiveness and sustainability of blood safety management.

Work serves as a critical means of obtaining resources, facilitating personal growth, realizing self-worth, and engaging in social interactions. However, work-related diseases pose significant threats to workers’ health and productivity, and impose considerable economic burdens. This article categorized work-related diseases into six major types, including musculoskeletal disorders, mental and behavioral disorders, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, digestive system diseases, reproductive system diseases, and non-specific respiratory diseases, and summarized their risk factors, assessment methods, policy regulation, and prevention and control measures. Current research in this field predominantly relies on cross-sectional studies, which present limitations in causal inference and potential risks of bias. Future studies should expand sample sizes, optimize research designs, and establish multidimensional evaluation systems to comprehensively assess the health and economic impacts of work-related diseases. It is recommended to enhance the translation of research findings into practice, thereby providing a scientific basis for the occupational health protection system and promoting the well-being and sustainable development of the working population.

Objective　To explore the parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection in children hospitalized in Hainan between March 2012 and December 2022, and to analyze its epidemiological characteristics. Methods　The samples were obtained from 62 553 kids with respiratory infections who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics of multiple hospitals in various regions of Hainan from March 2012 to December 2022. Indirect immunofluorescence was employed to detect IgM antibodies in serum for nine respiratory pathogens, including PIV, adenovirus, influenza A virus, Legionella pneumophila, respiratory syncytial virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, influenza B virus, Coxiella burnetii, and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Epidemiological and clinical data (time, gender, age, season, etc.) of PIV-IgM antibody-positive cases were analyzed in a descriptive study. Results　The total PIV-IgM antibody positive rate of 62 553 respiratory tract infected children was 3.29% (2 015/62 553), with the highest positive rate of 11.01% (385/3 496) in 2017, and the second highest positive rate of 8.37% (351/4 196) in 2016, which were significantly higher than the positive rate of the rest of the years (P<0.001). The PIV positive rate was 3.18% (1 248/39 225) in males and 3.29% (767/23 328) in females, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). PIV infection occurred in all age groups, with the highest positive rate in the 6 to <12 years group at 4.50% (357/7 941), followed by the 3 to <6 years group at 4.47% (656/14 689), significantly higher than other age groups (P<0.001). The highest positive rate for PIV was in summer at 4.30% (693/16 093), followed by 3.78% (598/15 804) in spring, and the lowest rate of 2.27% (342/15 065) in winter, with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). Single PIV infection accounted for 63.08% (1 271/2 015), while mixed infections accounted for 36.92% (744/2 015), and the most common co-infection being with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection at 23.13% (466/2 015). Conclusions　PIV is an important pathogen for children's acute respiratory infections in Hainan Province, exhibiting year-round sporadic occurrence with alternating high and low periods characteristics. PIV infection is to the gender of the child, predominantly affects preschool and school-age children, peaks in spring and summer, and commonly co-infects with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

This study explores the diagnosis and treatment of needle knife therapy for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) at middle and advanced stage based on the theory of meridian tendons, from a holistic perspective and syndrome differentiation. The treatment strategy includes "harmonizing yin and yang" to address root causes and "tendons-based release" to harmonize qi and blood, with the "tendons nodule points" as the core acupoint selection criterion. Based on this approach, the study systematically elaborates on two needle knife methods for AS: "governor vessel bone-piercing technique" and "below-the-umbilicus release technique", covering indications, acupoint location, and procedures. Clinical case examples are provided to enrich needle knife therapy guided by the theory of meridian tendons, offering insights for clinical and research work on AS.

The paper introduces Professor LIU Xing's clinical experience and characteristics of integrative acupuncture and medication in treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN). It is believed that the essential pathogenesis of PTN is pathogenic wind, and qi and blood obstruction results from invasion of pathogenic wind. Hence, dispelling wind is the key principle of treatment. Palpation is done at first in the neck, face and buccal mucosal region to detect the masses in treatment. Acupotomy is operated at the masses distributed at Shangguan (GB3), Xiaguan (ST7) and the white line of buccal mucosa, so as to release masses. Additionally, five-wind points (Fengfu [GV16], bilateral Fengchi [GB20], Yifeng [TE17], Bingfeng [SI12] and Fengmen [BL12]), three-nape points (bilateral Naokong [GB19], Tianzhu [BL10] and Jianjing [GB21]) and three-governor-vessel points (Baihui [GV20], Zhiyang [GV9] and Yintang [GV24⁺]) are selected to dispel wind and stop pain. Besides, herbal decoction (wu feng tang) and blood-letting at ear apex are administered in combination. The integration of acupuncture and medication obtains a holistic effect on PTN by dispelling wind pathogen, and promoting qi and blood circulation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of metformin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 （T2DM） complicated with sarcopenia in elderly patients. METHODS From January 2022 to January 2024， clinical data from eligible patients with T2DM complicated with sarcopenia treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical and Pharmaceutical College were collected. Patients were randomly assigned into control group （70 cases） and observation group （70 cases） using a random number table. Both groups received routine interventions； control group additionally received subcutaneous injections of Insulin glargine injection before bedtime and Human insulin injection 30 minutes before breakfast， lunch and dinner every day. In addition to the same treatments as the control group， the observation group was administered 0.5 g of Metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets orally once daily. Both groups were treated continuously for 24 weeks. Comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of glucose metabolism indexes [fasting blood glucose （FBG）， 2 h postprandial blood glucose （2 hBG）， and glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c）]， homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR）， appendicular skeletal mass muscle index （ASMI）， grip strength， walking speed， lipid metabolism indexes [serum total triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）]， serological markers [high-sensitivity C reactive protein （hs-CRP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and ferritin levels] and quality of life. The occurrence of ADR was recorded in both groups. RESULTS 65 patients in the control group and 63 patients in the observation group completed this study， respectively. After treatment， the levels of FBG， 2 hBG， HbA1c， HOMA-IR，TG and TC in both groups， and the levels of hs-CRP， IL-6 and ferritin in observation group were all significantly reduced compared to those before treatment （P＜0.05）， and the HOMA-IR in observation group was significantly lower than control group （P＜0.05）； additionally， the grip strength， walking speed， and scores for daily living and activity abilities of observation group were increased than those before treatment and the control group （P＜0.05）. The incidence of adverse drug reactions in both groups was 2.86%. CONCLUSIONS Metformin can reduce inflammatory factors and ferritin levels， promote the recovery of muscle mass and strength， improve insulin resistance， and quality of life in elderly patients with T2DM complicated with sarcopenia， and does not increase the occurrence of adverse drug reactions.
