Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and related influencing factors of thyroid nodules in different occupational groups in Shijiazhuang City.Methods:Different occupational groups who underwent physical examination at the Second Hospital of Shijiazhuang City from May to December 2015 and had lived there for more than 10 years were selected as the investigation subjects, including workers, farmers, science and technology education personnel, medical and health personnel, civil servants and individual businessmen. Questionnaire survey and thyroid examination were conducted, blood lipid, blood glucose and thyroid hormone levels were tested, and related influencing factors of thyroid nodules were analyzed.Results:A total of 1 440 different occupational subjects were surveyed, and the prevalence of thyroid nodules was 20.35% (293/1 440). The prevalence of thyroid nodules in females (22.59%, 159/704) was significantly higher than that in males (18.21%, 134/736), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 4.26, P = 0.039). There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of thyroid nodules in different age groups (χ 2 = 73.87, P < 0.001), with the highest prevalence in the 70 - 80 age group (43.75%, 21/48). There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of thyroid nodules among different occupational groups (χ 2 = 36.56, P < 0.001), with the highest prevalence in individual businessmen (31.84%, 78/245). By univariate analysis, the prevalence of thyroid nodules in people with good economic status [27.45% (42/153) vs 19.48% (248/1 273)], radiation exposure history [26.39% (109/413) vs 17.92% (184/1 027)], and diabetes history [33.71% (30/89) vs 19.47% (263/1 351)] was higher (χ 2 = 5.35, 13.06, 10.45, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of thyroid nodules in occupational group in Shijiazhuang City is relatively high, and the prevalence of thyroid nodules in females is significantly higher than that in males. Economic status, radiation exposure history and diabetes history are the main influencing factors.

Chemotherapy is an important adjuvant treatment of glioma, while the efficacy is far from satisfactory, due not only to the biological barriers of blood‒brain barrier (BBB) and blood‒tumor barrier (BTB) but also to the intrinsic resistance of glioma cells via multiple survival mechanisms such as up-regulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). To address these limitations, we report a bacteria-based drug delivery strategy for BBB/BTB transportation, glioma targeting, and chemo-sensitization. Bacteria selectively colonized into hypoxic tumor region and modulated tumor microenvironment, including macrophages repolarization and neutrophils infiltration. Specifically, tumor migration of neutrophils was employed as hitchhiking delivery of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs/DOX). By virtue of the surface pathogen-associated molecular patterns derived from native bacteria, OMVs/DOX could be selectively recognized by neutrophils, thus facilitating glioma targeted delivery of drug with significantly enhanced tumor accumulation by 18-fold as compared to the classical passive targeting effect. Moreover, the P-gp expression on tumor cells was silenced by bacteria type III secretion effector to sensitize the efficacy of DOX, resulting in complete tumor eradication with 100% survival of all treated mice. In addition, the colonized bacteria were finally cleared by anti-bacterial activity of DOX to minimize the potential infection risk, and cardiotoxicity of DOX was also avoided, achieving excellent compatibility. This work provides an efficient trans-BBB/BTB drug delivery strategy via cell hitchhiking for enhanced glioma therapy.

Objective:To understand the common viral infection among the surveillance cases of fever respiratory syndrome (FRS) in nine provinces in China.Methods:The research data were obtained from nine provinces (Anhui, Beijing, Guangdong, Hebei, Hunan, Jilin, Shandong, Shaanxi and Xinjiang) in the "Infectious Disease Surveillance Technology Platform Information Management System" of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2009 to June 2021. Finally, 8 243 FRS cases with nucleic acid detection results of eight viruses [human influenza virus (HIFV), human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), human adenovirus (HAdV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), human rhinovirus (HRV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human coronavirus (HCoV) and human Boca virus (HBoV)] were included in the study. The χ 2 test/Fisher exact probability method was used to analyze the difference of virus detection rate in different age groups, regions and seasons. Results The M ( Q1, Q3) age of 8 243 FRS cases was 4 (1, 18) years old, and 56.56% (4 662 cases) were children under 5 years old. Males accounted for 58.1% (4 792 cases) of all cases. All cases were from outpatient/emergency department (2 043 cases) and inpatient department (6 200 cases). The virus detection rates of FRS cases from high to low were HRSV, HIFV, HPIV, HRV, HAdV, HMPV, HCoV and HBoV. Two or more viruses were detected simultaneously in 524 cases, accounting for 15.66% of virus-positive cases. The difference of the virus detection rate in different age groups was statistically significant (all P values<0.05), and the virus detection rate in children<5 years old was higher (49.96%). The positive rate of any virus in south China was higher than that in north China ( P<0.001). The virus-positive FRS cases were detected throughout the year. The detection rate of HRSV was higher in autumn and winter. The detection rate of HIFV was higher in winter. The detection rate of HMPV was higher in winter and spring. The detection rates of HPIV, HRV, HCoV and HBoV were higher in summer and autumn, while there was no significant difference in the detection rate of HAdV in different seasons. Compared with 2009-2019, the detection rate of any virus in 2020-2021 decreased from 41.37% to 37.86%. The detection rate of HIFV decreased sharply from 10.62% to 1.37%. The detection rate of HPIV decreased from 8.24% to 5.88%. The detection rate of HRV and HBoV increased from 5.43% and 1.79% to 9.67% and 3.19%, respectively. Conclusion:HRSV and HIFV infections are more common among FRS cases in nine provinces in China from 2009 to 2021, and the epidemiological characteristics of eight common respiratory viruses vary in different age groups, regions and seasons.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of goiter in school-age children aged 8 to 10 in non-high iodine areas of Shijiazhuang City.Methods:In April 2018, 9 non-high iodine counties (cities) were selected as monitoring sites in Shijiazhuang City, and capacity proportional probability sampling (PPS) method was used. Each monitoring site was divided into five sampling areas according to five orientations: east, west, south, north, and middle, one township was selected from each area, one elementary school was selected from each township, and 40 school-age children aged 8 to 10 (balanced age, half males and half females) were selected from each school as respondents. Urine samples from any one time of children and drinking water samples from their village were collected, and urinary iodine and water iodine were detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry; the thyroid volume of children was measured by B ultrasound method; at the same time, the height and weight of children were measured and the body mass index was calculated. The influencing factors of goiter were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 1 867 urine samples of school-age children were collected, and the median urinary iodine was 190.65 μg/L, which was in the suitable level of iodine. A total of 1 046 drinking water samples were collected, water iodine ranged from 0.11 to 87.91 μg/L, and the median water iodine was 3.01 μg/L. A total of 1 867 school-age children were tested thyroid, the median thyroid volume was 3.01 ml. The medians thyroid volume of boys and girls (928 and 939 cases) were 2.90 and 3.13 ml, respectively, the difference was statistically significant between sex ( U = 2.09, P < 0.05); the medians thyroid volume of children aged 8, 9, and 10 years old (622, 629, 616 cases) were 2.47, 2.87, and 3.13 ml, respectively, the differences were statistically significant among ages ( H = 203.96, P < 0.01); the medians thyroid volume of normal, overweight and obese children (1 231, 300, 336 cases) were 2.61, 3.05 and 3.16 ml, respectively, the differences were statistically significant among body mass index ( H = 65.55, P < 0.01). The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that female and obesity were risk factors of goiter in school-age children [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.08, 2.86, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.05 - 4.12, 1.39 - 5.88, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Female and obesity are risk factors of goiter in school-age children aged 8 to 10 in non-high iodine areas of Shijiazhuang City.

Objective:To investigate the short term outcomes and postoperative respiratory complications of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH) treated by pulmonary endarterectomy(PEA).Methods:45 consecutive CTEPH patients underwent PEA between December 2017 and January 2020 in our institution were enrolled, including 25 females and 20 males. The mean age of operation was 51.2(25-70) years old. 24(53.5%) patients were in New York Heart Association(NYHA) functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ. The mean PVR before operation was 923(461-2 711) dyn·s·cm -5. All patients’ data were entered in a prospective database, divieded into patients with respiratory complications group(WRC)and without respiratory complications group(WORC). To assess risk factors for postoperative respiratory complications and its effect on short term outcomes. Results:There was a significant reduction in mPAP(from 37 mmHg to 20 mmHg) and PVR(from 923 dyn·s·cm -5 to 293 dyn·s·cm -5) in the entire group. The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.4%(2 cases), died due to postoperative cardiogenic circulatory failure, even with VA-ECMO treatment and mediastinal infection, respectively. Postoperative respiratory complications occurred in 32 patients(71.1%). The most common complications were reperfusion pulmonary edema 44.4%(20 cases) and residual pulmonary hypertension 11.1%(5 cases). The WRC group showed a tendency to have longer periods of mechanical ventilation, longer ICU stays and more ICU costs. Independent predictors of postoperative respiratory complications were time from symptom onset to PEA>36 months( OR=12.2, 95% CI: 2.1-70.7, P=0.005)and six-minute walking distance<300 m( OR=12.6, 95% CI: 1.1-138.0, P=0.0038). Conclusion:Pulmonary endarterectomy is an effective and safe treatment for CTEPH. Postoperative respiratory complications were mainly determined by symptom onset time and pre-operative status. Patients with CTEPH should consider PEA surgery early.

Objective:To clarify the infection and epidemic characteristics of the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in Chinese patients with febrile respiratory syndrome (FRS), and to provide important baseline data for clinical diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of HMPV-induced respiratory tract diseases in China.Methods:FRS cases from January 2009 to June 2021 in 9 provinces in China, including Beijing, Hebei, Jilin, Shandong, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Anhui, Guangdong, Hunan were retrospectively analyzed for their respiratory samples, clinical and epidemic data.The respiratory samples were detected for HMPV by quantitative real-time PCR.Results:A total of 11 660 cases were tested for HMPV, involving 296 (2.54%) HMPV-positive cases.Among 296 HMPV-positive cases, 218 were single HMPV infection, and 78/296 (26.35%) were co-infected with one or more respiratory viruses.HMPV mainly affected children under 5 years of age (3.10%), and in this population, the proportion of pneumonia in HMPV co-infection cases was significantly higher than that of single HMPV infection.HMPV could be detected all year round, which was more popular in winter and spring, with the peak of HMPV epidemic in March.Conclusions:HMPV is one of the important pathogens causing acute respiratory infection in children, showing a clear seasonal epidemic.HMPV can be infected alone or in combination with other respiratory viruses, which may increase the risk of pneumonia in children.

Objective:The anti-FⅩa assay can be used to monitor the blood concentration of Rivaroxaban. The aim is to evaluate the critical value and diagnostic performance of this test on bleeding risk assessment.Methods:From September 2017 to June 2019, 368 patients were enrolled for retrospective cohort study, including 201 males and 167 females, aged (62.8±15.7) years old. They were divided into groups by age:≤60 years old group 105 cases,61-70 years old group 135 cases,≥71 years old group 128 cases. Anti-FⅩa was detected on ACL TOP 700 coagulation analyzer using chromogenic substrate method to quantitatively determine the plasma concentration of rivaroxaban. Anti-FⅩa data were expressed as M ( P25- P75);Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison among groups; Mann-Whitney U test was for data comparison between two groups; positive rate comparison was performed by χ 2 test; the diagnostic performance of anti-FⅩa to assess bleeding risk was evaluated by ROC curve;Kaplan-Meier curve was used for the survival analysis;the risk ratio (HR) was obtained by Cox proportional hazard regression model. Results:Both the peak and trough plasma concentrations were higher in patients aged 61-70 years old than ≤60 years old ( U values were 5 618 and 5 725,respectively, P values were 0.006 and 0.011, respectively); higher in patients ≥71 years old than 61-70 years old ( U values were 6 438 and 6 317, respectively, P values were<0.001).The incidence of bleeding events was higher in the 61-70 years old group than ≤60 years old group (χ 2=3.06, P<0.05),while not significantly different in the ≥71 years old group from 61-70 years old group (χ 2=0.35, P>0.05).Both peak and trough blood concentrations were higher in patients with bleeding than without bleeding(U values were 1 429 and 2 185, respectively, P<0.001 and 0.001, respectively).ROC showed that the cut-off values of peak blood concentration in evaluation of the overall and the ≥61 year-old population′s bleeding risk were 200.8 ng/ml and 209.9 ng/ml,respectively, corresponding respectively with the sensitivity of 90.9% and 95.0%; the trough cut-off values were 35.1 ng/ml and 39.1 ng/ml, respectively, corresponding respectively with the sensitivity of 72.7% and 70.0%. However, all the above cut-off values gave a low diagnostic specificity. Survival analysis showed with 35.1 ng/ml as the trough cut-off value, the cumulative risk of bleeding significantly increased in patients above the cut-off value (Log-rank χ 2=4.513, P=0.034). The Cox proportional regression model demonstrated that the hazard ratios for peak and trough blood concentration predictions of bleeding risk were 1.023 (95% CI: 0.834-1.256) and 0.948 (95% CI: 0.773-1.164). respectively. Conclusions:Both the peak and trough values of blood concentration in bleeding patients are higher than non-bleeding patients. The peak blood concentration is highly sensitive to the risk of bleeding, and the elevated trough blood concentration levels indicate that the probability of bleeding risk increases in the short term. However, the specificity of both peak and trough values is relatively low in bleeding risk assessment. When used alone, the prediction of bleeding events does not have direct guiding significance. Dynamic monitoring and joint evaluation are recommended.
