Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among drug users in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide insights into strengthening HCV intervention among drug users. Methods: Drug users under community management in Baoshan District from 2017 to 2023 were recruited. Demographic information, drug use behaviors, sexual behaviors and receipt of intervention service were collected through questionnaire surveys. Blood samples were collected for HCV antibody testing, and the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was analyzed. Factors affecting the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 2 801 drug users were surveyed, including 2 233 males (79.72%) and 568 females (20.28%). The majority of drug users were aged 40 to <60 years (1 663 drug users, 59.37%). The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was 28.35%, showing an overall upward trend from 2017 to 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that females (OR=1.468, 95%CI: 1.169-1.844), 40 years and over (40 to <50 years, OR=2.441, 95%CI: 1.838-3.242; 50 to <60 years, OR=2.377, 95%CI: 1.787-3.161; 60 to 97 years, OR=1.637, 95%CI: 1.163-2.304), using traditional drugs (OR=2.488, 95%CI: 1.967-3.147) or mixed drugs (OR=2.950, 95%CI: 1.974-4.409), having injected drugs (not share needles, OR=3.649, 95%CI: 2.849-4.673; share needles, OR=3.532, 95%CI: 1.851-6.738) and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants in the past year (OR=1.975, 95%CI: 1.354-2.879) were associated with a higher prevalence of anti-HCV antibody; the educational level of high school/technical secondary school (OR=0.483, 95%CI: 0.280-0.835) or college and above (OR=0.280, 95%CI: 0.129-0.608) was associated with a lower prevalence of anti-HCV antibody. Conclusions The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users in Baoshan District showed an upward trend from 2017 to 2023. Gender, age, educational level, type of drugs, history of drug injection and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants were influencing factors for prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users.

Abstract In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among middle-aged and elderly people in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into prevention and intervention of MCI among middle-aged and elderly people. Methods: People aged 55 years and above were sampled from Xihu District using the multi-stage random sampling method, and demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, and chronic disease were collected through questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of MCI was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and influencing factors for MCI were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 440 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.78%. There were 190 males (43.18%) and 250 females (56.82%). There were 179 respondents at ages of 55 to <65 years, accounting for 40.68%. The prevalence of MCI was 18.64%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of MCI was higher among the middle-aged and elderly people who were aged 65 to 95 years (55 to <65 years as the reference, 65 to <75 years, OR=4.156, 95%CI: 1.284-13.201; 75 to 95 years, OR=5.013, 95%CI: 1.752-14.126), were smokers (OR=4.768, 95%CI: 1.560-14.580), had higher daily cooking oil intake (OR=2.128, 95%CI: 1.062-4.199), had diabetes (OR=4.137, 95%CI: 1.144-4.958) and had hypertension (OR=8.093, 95%CI: 1.697-38.593); while the risk of MCI was lower among the middle-aged and elderly people who were engaged in mental labor (OR=0.074, 95%CI: 0.007-0.756) and had a monthly household income per capita of 4 000 yuan and above (4 000 to <8 000 yuan, OR=0.071, 95%CI: 0.014-0.358; 8 000 yuan and above, OR=0.009, 95%CI: 0.001-0.136). Conclusion MCI among middle-aged and elderly people in Xihu District is affected by age, occupation, monthly household income per capita, smoking, daily cooking oil intake, diabetes and hypertension.

Objective To explore the imaging features, clinical outcome, and prognosis of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPN) in patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Methods A retrospective study of 82 patients with high-grade soft tissue sarcoma who have IPNs. The clinical characteristics, imaging features of IPN, and survival of patients were analyzed with statistical software. Results The IPN size of 82 patients was 6.453±0.864 mm. IPN diameter, shape, density, and nodule discovery interval may be CT imaging features related to malignancy tendency. Age (HR=1.047, 95%CI: 1.007-1.088) and interval between each nodule discovery (HR=3.194, 95%CI: 1.052-9.694) are independent factors that affect the survival of patients with malignant IPN. Conclusion The imaging features of chest CT may provide important guidance for determining the nature and survival prognosis of benign and malignant nodules.

Objective: To analyze the results of colorectal cancer screening among residents in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2013 to 2021, so as to provide the basis for promoting colorectal cancer screening and prevention. Methods: Permanent residents aged 50 to 74 years in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2021 were selected as the screening population. The initial screening was conducted using a risk assessment form and fecal occult blood test. Positive results on either the risk assessment form or fecal occult blood test were considered positive for the initial screening. Participants with positive initial screening results were invited to undergo colonoscopy. The positive rate of the initial screening, colonoscopy compliance rate, and colonoscopy results were analyzed. Results: A total of 264 907 individuals underwent the initial colorectal cancer screening in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2021, with 65 333 individuals (24.66%) testing positive. Among them, the positive rate of the risk assessment form was 12.16%, and the positive rate of fecal occult blood test was 14.64%. A total of 14 473 individuals completed colonoscopy, with a compliance rate of 22.15%. A total of 1 284 precancerous lesions were detected, with a detection rate of 8.87%, and 386 cases of colorectal cancer were identified, with a detection rate of 2.67%. The positive rate of the initial screening, colonoscopy compliance rate, precancerous lesion detection rate, and colorectal cancer detection rate were higher in males than in females (25.55% vs. 24.06%, 23.12% vs. 21.45%, 11.60% vs. 6.74%, 3.62% vs. 1.93%, all P<0.05). With increasing age, the positive rate of the initial screening increased, the colonoscopy compliance rate decreased, the precancerous lesion detection rate and colorectal cancer detection rate increased (all P<0.05). From 2013 to 2021, the positive rate of the initial screening among residents showed a downward trend, while the colonoscopy compliance rate showed an upward trend (both P<0.05). Conclusions The detection rate of precancerous lesions in colorectal cancer was 8.87%, and the detection rate of colorectal cancer was 2.67% in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2021. Male and older individuals were the key populations for screening, and the colonoscopy compliance among residents needs to be improved.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of ZKY001 eye drops with different concentrations in the treatment of corneal epithelial defects(CED)after primary pterygium excision.METHODS: This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial. From March 15, 2022 to November 14, 2022, patients with primary pterygium who had undergone surgery were recruited from 12 tertiary hospitals across China. Using block randomization, 178 patients(178 eyes)were randomly assigned to 3 groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: 0.002% ZKY001 group(n=59), 0.004% ZKY001 group(n=59), and placebo group(n=60, receiving ZKY001 sham eye drops). Subjects in each group received 1 drop of the study drug 4 times per day for 4 d. The percentage of CED area recovery from baseline, the first complete healing time of CED area, the number of first complete healing cases of CED, and changes in visual analogue scale(VAS)scores for eye discomfort including eye pain, foreign body sensation, tearing and photophobia were observed.RESULTS: In terms of improvement in CED, there were no statistically significant differences among the three groups including the first healing time of CED, the percentage improvement in CED area compared to baseline, and the percentage of first healing cases at different follow-up visits(all P>0.05). Numerically, the first healing time of CED was shorter in the test groups compared to the placebo group(67.87±21.688 h for the 0.002% ZKY001 group, 61.48±22.091 h for the 0.004% ZKY001 group, and 68.85±20.851 h for the placebo group). On D1 morning, the percentage improvement in CED area compared to baseline was maximally different from the placebo group, and the numerical difference advantage was maintained at subsequent follow-up visits. The number of first healing cases in the CED area at different follow-up visits was higher in the test groups than the placebo group. In terms of improvement in ocular discomfort, the total VAS scores were lower in the test groups compared to the placebo group, mainly due to reductions in foreign body sensation and pain scores. At D3, the 0.004% ZKY001 group showed statistically significant improvement in foreign body sensation(P<0.017). In terms of safety, the overall incidence of adverse events was low(9.0%)and similar among groups.CONCLUSION: The use of ZKY001 eyedrops after primary pterygium surgery can safely improve the CED repair, and alleviate postoperative symptoms caused by CED.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutritional status of pregnant women in Hangzhou City and analyze its influencing factors, in order to provide a basis for guiding pregnant women in Hangzhou City to supplement iodine scientifically.Methods:A stratified random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 1 400 pregnant women in Hangzhou City from March to October 2018. Random urine samples and household salt samples from pregnant women were collected, and the levels of urine iodine and salt iodine were measured using arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry and direct titration, respectively. The iodine nutritional status of pregnant women with different basic characteristics and dietary levels were analyzed and compared (Kruskal-Wallis test), and the main influencing factors affecting the urinary iodine concentration level of pregnant women were identified (the ordinal multiple classification logistic regression analysis).Results:The median urinary iodine of pregnant women was 135.00 μg/L, and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate of pregnant women was 83.36% (1 167/1 400). In terms of basic characteristics, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution level of urine iodine among pregnant women with different pregnancy frequency, delivery frequency, and natural abortion frequency ( P < 0.05). In terms of diet, the frequency of consuming milk, yogurt, meat, and whether pregnant women consumed cabbage and cauliflower showed statistically significant differences in urinary iodine distribution levels ( P < 0.05). Ordinal multiple classification logistic regression analysis showed that the urine iodine levels of pregnant women who were pregnant twice were higher than those who were pregnant ≥3 times ( OR = 1.64, P = 0.003). Pregnant women who never or occasionally consumed yogurt had lower urine iodine levels than or equal to those who consumed 2 bottles of yogurt per day ( OR = 0.53, P = 0.044). Pregnant women who never or occasionally consumed meat and those who consumed meat once a week had higher urinary iodine levels than that who consumed meat ≥2 times per week ( OR = 1.40, 1.47, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The overall iodine nutrition of pregnant women in Hangzhou City is at an deficiency level. Pregnancy experience and dietary level are influencing factors on iodine nutrition of pregnant women. It is necessary to carry out in-depth health education for pregnant women, improve the dietary structure during pregnancy, and improve the abnormal iodine nutrition of pregnant women.

Objective Analyzing risk factors for prolonged ICU stay after cardiac surgery of Infective Endocarditis(IE)provides a basis for preventing extended ICU durations in postoperative IE cases.Methods From January 1,2019,to March 31,2021,a total of 223 patients with infective endocarditis who underwent cardiac surgery in the cardiac surgery department of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were included.Patients were divided into non-prolonged group(<3 days)and prolonged group(≥3 days)based on postoperative ICU stay duration.There were 156 cases in the non-prolonged group and 67 cases in the prolonged group.Single-factor analysis of risk factors for prolonged ICU stay was conducted using t-tests or rank-sum tests.Variables with P<0.05 in the single-factor analysis were further subjected to binary logistic regression for multivariate analysis.The accuracy of the model was evaluated using the ROC curve.Results Among the 223 patients,67 experienced prolonged ICU stay,with an incidence rate of 30%.Single-factor analysis results included gender,age,history of coronary heart disease,history of stroke,preoperative heart failure,aortic valve regurgitation area,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)<60%,extracorporeal circulation time,aortic cross-clamp time,use of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump(IABP),endotracheal tube reintubation,pulmonary infection,use of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy(CRRT),and prolonged mechanical ventilation time(>24 hours),among others.Multivariate analysis results revealed that preoperative LVEF<60%(OR=3.004,P=0.041),postopera-tive use of IABP(OR=31.686,P=0.008),and mechanical ventilation time>24 hours(OR=8.135,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay after cardiac surgery.The model's AUC value for predicting risk factors for prolonged ICU stay was 0.858(95%CI:0.806～0.901,P<0.001).Conclusion Preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)<60%,the use of IABP,and mechanical ventilation time>24 hours were identified as independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay after infective endocarditis(IE)surgery.In clinical practice,it is important to comprehensively address and manage various risk factors with the aim of reducing ICU stay duration and improving the overall success rate of the surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and gestational diabetes mellitus in the second trimester (GDM), to analyze the interaction effect of key risk factors, so as to provide a basis for clinical personalized vitamin D supplementation. MethodsA total of 266 pregnant women who registered and took regular obstetric check-ups in Shanghai Pudong New Area Health Care Hospital for Women and Children from June to December 2022, were selected as the research subjects. According to the results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the subjects were divided into the GDM group (131) and control group (135). The level of serum 25(OH)D at the time of OGTT were detected and other clinical indicators were followed up. ResultsThe age, systolic blood pressure in early pregnancy, pre-pregnancy BMI, FPG, OGTT 1-hour and 2-hour glucose, GHb, HOMA-IR, TG, AST, Cr, D-D, FDP and SF at 35 weeks’ gestation of the pregnant women were higher in the GDM group than that of the pregnant women in the normal group, while gestational weight gain and serum 25(OH)D level were significantly lower than that of the pregnant women in the normal group. Serum 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with HOMA-IR and WBS’s, but positively correlated with TG and ALT. Serum 25(OH)D was non-linearly correlated with the risk of GDM in an inverted J-shape, and there was an interaction effect of advanced age, pre-pregnancy obesity and vitamin D deficiency on the risk of GDM. ConclusionVitamin D is non-linearly associated with the risk of GDM. The risk of GDM is significantly reduced when serum 25(OH)D level ≥30 ng∙mL^-1.
