Objective To study the spatial distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province and its influencing factors, so as to improve the theoretical basis for scientific development of tuberculosis prevention and control measures in the future. Methods The data of reported incidence of tuberculosis and related influencing factors in various counties and districts of Hubei Province in 2020 were collected. Global Moran's I index, hotspot analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model analysis were used to calculate the spatial autocorrelation of the incidence of tuberculosis, and to analyze the influencing factors affecting the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Results There were obvious regional differences in the space distribution of the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Hot spot analysis showed positive spatial correlation and obvious clustering. The GWR model (AICc=784.251) in this study had higher AICc value compared to the ordinary least squares regression (OLS) model (AICc=804.2585). The GWR model showed that the increase in the proportion of the population aged 65 and above and the proportion of the ethnic minority population had a significant promoting effect on the increase of the incidence rate of tuberculosis, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity. The effect of PM_2.5 concentration on the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis varied in different regions, and the degree of effect was also different. Conclusion The proportion of people aged 65 and above and the proportion of ethnic minorities may significantly influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The effect of PM_2.5 concentration varies in different regions, so targeted measures should be formulated according to the situation in different regions.

Objective To examine the effect of temperature on the risk of varicella in Jiangjin District, Chongqing, and to provide reference for formulating varicella prevention and control strategies. Methods Data on varicella cases from 2015 to 2020 were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, while meteorological data for the same period were collected through the China Meteorological Data Sharing Service Network. A distributed lag non-linear model was employed to analyze the correlation between different lag days (lag) and temperature and the incidence of varicella, as well as their impact on sensitive population. Using the lowest risk temperature as a reference, the relative risk of extreme low temperature 8°C (P5) and extreme high temperature 31.5°C (P95) on the onset of varicella was estimated. Results Over the six-year period, Jiangjin District reported 7 547 varicella cases, predominantly among children aged 5-9, accounting for 40.64% (3 067 cases) of the total. The incidence of varicella exhibited obvious seasonality and a bimodal distribution pattern. The exposure-response curve between daily varicella cases and temperature was U-shaped. At a low temperature of 8°C with a 3-day lag, the general population exhibited the highest risk, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.43 (95% CI: 1.22-1.67). After a 7-day lag, the cumulative relative risk (CRR) escalated to 2.79 (95% CI: 1.95-3.98). Conversely, at a high temperature of 31.5°C with no lag, the peak risk yielded an RR of 1.77 (95% CI: 1.23-2.37), and a 7-day lag resulted in a CRR of 2.05 (95% CI: 1.47-2.86). The temperature had the greatest impact on the incidence of varicella in preschool children. At 8°C with a 7-day lag, the CRR of varicella incidence in preschool children was 2.34 (95% CI: 1.89-2.91), with an attributable fraction (AF) of temperature reaching 38.49% (95% CI: 34.45%-42.06%). Conclusion Exposure to both low and high temperature in Jiangjin District, Chongqing can increase the risk of varicella, and the effect is more pronounced in preschool children.

Aim To explore the effect and mechanism of the artesunate(ART)on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The cell lines MHCC-97H and HCC-LM3 were used to be detected.MTT and clone formation were used to determine the cell proliferation;Wound healing was used to detect the cell migration;Transwell was used to test the cell invasion.Flow-cy-tometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cy-cle.RNA-seq and qRT-PCR was used to detect the genes expression.Results The proliferation,migra-tion and invasion of treated cells were obviously inhibi-ted(P＜0.01).Moreover,the apoptosis rate in-creased significantly,so did the proportion of G2/M cells.Transcriptomic analysis identified GADD45A as a potential target of ART through RNA-sequencing da-ta,and suggested that ART might induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest through regulating the expression of GADD45A.In addition,the results of mechanism studies and signaling analysis suggested that GADD45A had interaction with its upstream gene NACC1(nucle-us accumbens associated 1).Moreover,after ART treatment,the expressions of GADD45A and NACC1 were changed significantly.Conclusion ART may be a potential drug to resist HCC by affecting the expres-sion of GADD45A and its upstream gene NACC1,which provides a new drug,a new direction and a new method for the clinical treatment of HCC.

Critical care medicine-related treatment is an interdisciplinary and multi-professional process,often leading to secondary or concomitant mental disorders in clinical practice.Currently,there is no consensus on the pharmacological treatment of related mental illnesses in China.The Chinese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine collaborated with the Critical Care Medicine expert group to form a consensus writing expert group.After a systematic review of relevant literature,summarizing published domestic and foreign literature,and extensive discussions,the consensus was developed.The consensus elaborates on the principles and processes of the standardized use of psychotropic drugs in critical care medicine,as well as the clinical indications,precautions,and specific drug selection of various psychiatric medications,providing feasible suggestions and guidance for the clinical application of psychiatric medications in the intensive care unit.

Objective:To explore the role of NK cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell micro-transplantation(MST)in the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods:Data from 93 AML patients treated with MST at our center from 2013-2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The induction regimen was anthracycline and cytarabine combined with peripheral blood stem cells transplantation mobilization by granulocyte colony stimulating factor(GPBSC),followed by 2-4 courses of intensive treatment with medium to high doses of cytarabine combined with GPBSC after achieving complete remission(CR).The therapeutic effects of one and two courses of MST induction therapy on 42 patients who did not reach CR before transplantation were evaluated.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze the impact of donor NK cell dose and KIR genotype,including KIR ligand mismatch,2DS1,haplotype,and HLA-Cw ligands on survival prognosis of patients.Results:Forty-two patients received MST induction therapy,and the CR rate was 57.1％after 1 course and 73.7％after 2 courses.Multivariate analysis showed that,medium and high doses of NK cells was significantly associated with improved disease-free survival(DFS)of patients(HR=0.27,P=0.005;HR=0.21,P=0.001),and high doses of NK cells was significantly associated with improved overall survival(OS)of patients(HR=0.15,P=0.000).Donor 2DS1 positive significantly increases OS of patients(HR=0.25,P=0.011).For high-risk patients under 60 years old,patients of the donor-recipient KIR ligand mismatch group had longer DFS compared to the nonmismatch group(P=0.036);donor 2DS1 positive significantly prolonged OS of patients(P=0.009).Conclusion:NK cell dose,KIR ligand mismatch and 2DS1 influence the therapeutic effect of MST,improve the survival of AML patients.

Objective:To explore the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery in the treatment of achalasia.Methods:The clinical data of 53 patients with achalasia who underwent laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery from Jan 2013 to Dec 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization , and short-term complications.Patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months after surgery. The preoperative and postoperative achalasia symptom scores (Eckardt score, Gerd-Q score) were compared.Results:All operations were successful, with an average operation time of (124±22) min, an average intraoperative blood loss of (15±5) ml, and an average postoperative hospital stay of (4.2±1.3) d. Compared with those before the operation, the Eckardt score and Gerd-Q score of the patients after the operation were improved compared with that before surgery (all P<0.05). The average postoperative follow-up was 12 months in all 53 cases. One patient with end-stage achalasia developed mild dysphagia 11 months after surgery, and the symptoms of the remaining 52 cases improved significantly. Among them, symptoms disappeared in 48 cases and improved in 5 cases. Conclusions:Laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery can not only effectively improve the symptoms of achalasia, but also effectively prevent postoperative gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. The operation is simple, less invasive, and has fewer complications.

Objective:To explore the correlation between functional constipation （FC）and its related factors with acute appendicitis（AA）in children，so as to provide a reference for the prevention and clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with AA. Methods:A case-control study was conducted on 170 children diagnosed with AA in the Department of Pediatrics，the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University，from August 2022 to March 2023，and 170 non-AA children during the same period were selected as control objects.The clinical data，incidence of FC，symptoms related to FC，Bristol stool classification，past constipation history and other information were compared between two groups.Results:The incidence of FC in 170 children with AA was 22.9%（39/170），which was significantly higher than 10.6%（18/170）in the non-AA group（ P<0.01）；For children under four years old，the proportion of faecal retention in AA group was higher than that in non-AA group（25.6% vs. 9.3%, P<0.05）；For children ≥ 4 years old，the proportion of faecal retention and dyschezia in AA group were higher than those in non-AA group（28.2% vs. 6.9%，29.0% vs. 16.4%，respectively,all P<0.05）.The proportion of past constipation history in AA group was higher than that in non-AA group（29.4% vs.14.1%）.The duration of constipation in AA group was longer than that in non-AA group [0.00（0.00，1.25）month vs. 0.00（0.00，0.00）month,all P<0.01].The proportion of children with low Bristol stool classification in AA group was higher than that in non-AA group（ P<0.01）.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that faecal retention[ OR=6.186（95% CI 2.336~16.380）] and long constipation time [ OR=1.310（95% CI 1.095~1.567）]were independent risk factors for AA in children（all P<0.05）. Conclusion:The incidence of faecal retention in children with AA is higher than that in children without AA，and the median duration of constipation is longer than that in children without AA.Fecal retention and long-term constipation are independent risk factors for AA in children.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the viral levels and associated factors in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related primary liver cancer (PHC) in real-world settings and further explore the correlation between low viral load (LVL) and/or low-level viremia (LLV) and PHC.Methods:Five hundred twenty-four cases with HBV-related PHC with complete pathologically confirmed data from 2013 to 2020 were included. Percentages (%) were used to express their viral load, antiviral (oral) status, patient compliance, presence or absence of cirrhosis, family history of liver cancer, and others. LVL definition: After excluding detection errors by PCR method, serum HBV DNA <50-2 000 IU/ml, and those who had received antiviral drug treatment were called LLV. Antiviral treatment (AVT) rate definition: As of the confirmed diagnosis of PHC, those who had been regularly treated using oral antiviral drugs for six months or more (≥6 months).Results:General situation: The ratio of male to female enrolled patients was 15.90:1 (493/31). Patients aged >40 years accounted for 91.98% (482 cases). Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity condition: The ratio of HBsAg-positive to HBsAg-negative/anti-HBc-positive (HBsAg-/anti-HBc+) PHC patients was 5.89:1 (448/76). Among the 76 HBsAg-/anti-HBc+patients, the ratio of HBsAg-/anti-HBs+/anti-HBc+ to HBsAg-/anti-HBs-/anti-HBc+ patients was 0.95:1 (37/39). Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeA) positivity condition: The ratio of HBeAg-negative to HBeAg-positive cases was 3.23:1 (400/124). HBV DNA level condition: The medical history records of 75.00% of patients (393/524) had traceable HBV DNA test reports. Out of 393 patients, 45.04% (177/393) accounted for undetectable HBV DNA, 13.49% (53/393) accounted for LVL, 41.48% (163/393) accounted for HBV DNA exceeding the upper limit of LVL, and 4.07% (16/393) accounted for LLV. Among HBsAg-positive and HBsAg-/anti-HBc+ patients, the HBV DNA positivity rates were 59.12% (214/362) and 6.45% (2/31), respectively. Antiviral treatment condition: Among the 448 HBsAg-positive PHC patients, the total AVT rate was 18.08% (81/448), of which seven patients did not have their HBV DNA results traced back. Among them, the AVT rate of 148 patients with HBV DNA lower than the lowest detection value was 41.22% (61/148); the AVT rate of 53 patients with LVL was 18.87% (10/53); and the AVT rate of 163 patients with HBV DNA≥LVL upper limit was 1.84% (3/163). Liver cirrhosis and family history condition: 348 patients (66.41%) had liver cirrhosis. 67 patients (12.79%) had a distinct family history of HBV-related liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) condition: 514 patients underwent AFP testing, with 30.93% of the patients had normal AFP levels, and 69.07% had AFP levels exceeding the upper limit of normal values (355/514). Among them, 10 μg/L400 μg/L accounted for 34.44% (177/514) and 34.63% (178/514), respectively. Tissue typing condition: 99.05% (519/524) were hepatocellular carcinoma, and well-differentiated and moderately differentiated cases accounted for only 8.59%.Conclusions:In the real world, comprehensive, timely screening, standardized, and effective antiviral treatment have not yet been achieved for patients with chronic hepatitis B, resulting in the persistence of HBsAg and/or HBV DNA positivity (especially LVL and/or LLV). Although LVL does not account for a high proportion among all HBV-related PHC populations, the vast majority of LVL populations have not received any antiviral treatment. In addition, some PHC populations with HBV DNA>2 000 IU/ml have not received standard antiviral treatment before the onset of the disease, which should be paid attention to. At the same time, HBsAg-/anti-HBc+ populations may have latent HBV infection and may even progress to PHC. Notably, PHC may still occur after HBeAg seronegative conversion.
