Objective To explore the effectiveness of the cumulative sum (CUSUM) and the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) for early warning of influenza epidemic using two datasets of reported influenza cases and influenza-like illness (ILI) cases. Methods Using the reported cases of influenza and ILI in Daxing District, Beijing, from week 23 of 2018 to week 22 of 2024 as data sets, the CUSUM and EWMA models were established, respectively. The positive rate of influenza etiology was used as the ^“gold standard^”, and the Youden index was used as the evaluation index to compare the early warning effect of the two models under different data sets and different parameters. Results In CUSUM, the optimal Youden indices of the reported influenza cases set and the ILI cases set were 0.751 and 0.635, respectively. In EWMA, the optimal Youden indices of the reported influenza cases set and the ILI cases set were 0.544 and 0.464, respectively. The optimal EWMA and CUSUM models could both issue early warning signals in advance of the ^“gold standard^”. Conclusion In the influenza epidemic early warning in Daxing District, Beijing, the CUSUM model established with the reported cases of influenza can achieve good early warning effects, but the model parameters need to be dynamically adjusted according to the local epidemic characteristics.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Qishao Huoxue Prescription in treating low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome.Methods Totally 80 patients of lumbar disc herniation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The observation group received oral administration of Qishao Huoxue Prescription,while the control group received oral celecoxib capsules for 3 weeks.Follow-ups were conducted after 1 month and 3 month of treatment,and the clinical efficacy of two groups after 3 months of treatment was evaluated.The Visual Analog Scale(VAS)scores,Japanese Orthopaedic Association Assessment of Treatment Score(JOA),Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)and Quality of Life(SF-36)scores for pain before treatment,1 and 3 weeks after treatment,and 1 and 3 months after treatment in two groups were observed;the blood flow changes of two groups before and after 3 weeks of treatment were observed,including whole blood high shear,medium shear,and low shear viscosity,plasma viscosity,and fibrinogen(FIB);adverse reactions in both group were recorded.Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 97.5%(39/40),significantly higher than 87.5%(35/40)in the control group(P<0.05).At 1 and 3 weeks of treatment and 1 and 3 months after treatment,VAS scores and ODI scores significantly decreased compared to before treatment,while JOA scores and SF-36 scores significantly increased in both groups.The improvement in scores in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.01).The observation group showed a significant decrease in blood high,medium,and low shear viscosity,PV and FIB levels after 3 weeks of treatment compared to before treatment(P<0.05),and all levels were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).No significant adverse reactions were observed in both groups.Conclusion Qishao Huoxue Prescription can significantly improve the clinical symptoms,hemorheological indicators,and quality of life of low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,with good safety.

A total of 1 557 cases were included in the Febrile Respiratory Syndrome (FRS) surveillance conducted in Daxing District between 2018 and 2023. Twelve respiratory pathogens were investigated: human influenza virus (HIFV), human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), human rhinovirus (HRV), human enterovirus (HEV), human adenovirus (HadV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human bocavirus (HBoV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), human coronavirus (HCoV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Results demonstrated an overall pathogen detection rate of 25.31% (394/1 557), with descending prevalence as follows: HIFV, SARS-CoV-2, HRV, HPIV, MP, HCoV, HRSV, HEV, HMPV, HadV, HBoV, and CP. Temporal analysis revealed detection rates of 26.98% (150/556) for 2018-2019, 15.81% (95/601) for 2020-2022, and 37.25% (149/400) for 2023, showing statistically significant interannual variation (χ2=59.703, P<0.001). Compared with 2018-2019, 2023 exhibited significantly elevated detection rates for HIFV and HMPV ( P<0.05), while HRV, MP, HEV, and HBoV demonstrated significantly reduced rates ( P<0.05). Age-stratified analysis identified HIFV, HRSV, and HadV as the predominant pathogens in individuals aged <15 years, whereas SARS-CoV-2, HIFV, and HRV predominated in those aged ≥60 years.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the venipuncture disinfection procedures for the patients with psoriasis by modifying the skin pretreatment,number of times of disinfection and action time,evaluate the disinfection effects before and after the modification and observe the impact on skin barrier function.METHODS A total of 78 patients with psoriasis who were hospitalized in Air Force Medical Center of Special Medicine from Jan.2024 to Mar.2025 were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into the control group and the study group,with 39 cases in each group.Both groups were disinfected with povidone iodine swabs.The control group was treated with a single clockwise spiral wipe centered on the puncture site,and the total time of embrocation and drying time was 60 s;the study group was treated with the modified disinfection method'pretreatment-bidirectional disinfec-tion-120-second drying',which was unidirectional wiping of puncture site skin of hand back with sterile swab in-filtrating with normal saline,a single clockwise spiral wipe centered on the puncture site,counter-clockwise wipe for two times,the total time of embrocation and drying 120 s in total.The skin specimens were collected from the puncture sites for culture and identification of pathogens before the disinfection and after the drying,and the trans-epidermal water loss(TEWL)volume was detected by TewameterTM 300 instrument.RESULTS Totally 16 types of pathogens were isolated from the two groups of patients before the disinfection,among which Staphylococcus spp was dominant.The bacterial colony counts were[26.00(8.00,74.00)]CFU/cm2 in the study group before the disinfection,[41.00(13.00,94.00)]CFU/cm2 in the control group,and there was no significant difference(P=0.081).The bacterial colony counts of the two groups were lower after the disinfection and drying than before the disinfection(P＜0.001),and the bacterial colony counts of the study group were[0.00(0.00,1.00)]CFU/cm2,lower than[1.00(0.00,4.00)]CFU/cm2 of the control group(P=0.042).The TEWL value of the two groups was greater after the disinfection than before the disinfection(P＜0.001),however,there was no between-group difference(P=0.933).CONCLUSION The modified disinfection procedure has more advantages in eradicating pathogens without increasing damage to skin barrier,it provides safer disinfection plans for the patients with psoriasis and is worthy to be promoted in the hospital.

Objective:To investigate the difference in brain activity intensity between methamphetamine (MA) dependent patients (MA group) and healthy controls (control group) using fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF), and to establish a classification model between these two groups using support vector machine (SVM).Methods:From February 2014 to October 2019, a total of 46 male MA-dependent patients and 46 male healthy controls were recruited from the Affiliated Kangning Hospital of Ningbo University. The study collected resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data and analyzed the differences in brain functional activity between the two groups. This analysis was conducted using both static and dynamic fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (d-fALFF). Additionally, the study examined the correlation between fALFF/d-fALFF values in specific brain regions and the total scores, as well as each factor score, of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). Furthermore, the relationship between fALFF/d-fALFF values and the age of first use and total dose of MA in the MA group was investigated. Finally, the fALFF map and d-fALFF map of brain regions with significant differences between groups were used as features for constructing classification.Results:Compared to the healthy control group, those dependent on MA showed significantly increased fALFF mainly in the nucleus accumbens, caudate nucleus, thalamus, and amygdala nucleus( t=-5.21--2.72, all P<0.05). The MA group exhibited decreased fALFF in the superior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, orbital gyrus, and cingulate gyrus( t=3.59-5.00, all P<0.05). Most of the brain regions with decreased d-fALFF overlapped with those exhibiting decreased fALFF( t=3.33-4.87, all P<0.05). The results of the correlation analysis showed that the fALFF value of the right nucleus accumbens was positively correlated with the age of first use of MA ( r=0.537, P<0.001). There is no significant relationship between the abnormal fALFF and d-fALFF values in the MA group and the total scores and each factor scores of BPRS, as well as the total dose of MA taken (after removing outliers). Based on fALFF and d-fALFF values, the SVM classifier achieved accuracies of 90.33%±6.89% and 71.56%±7.80%, respectively. Conclusions:There are significant abnormalities in the low-frequency fluctuation of the resting brain in patients dependent on MA. These abnormalities reflect the rigidity of prefrontal cortex activity, functional impairment, and dysfunction of the anti-reward system. These factors may be one of the causes for MA dependent behavior and repeated episodes. In addition, the fALFF values may be helpful for distinguishing MA dependent individuals from the control group.
