Background Under the background of global warming, research on association between ambient temperature and risk of injury is needed. Objective To examine the effect of temperature on injury in Bao'an district, Shenzhen and identify the sensitive population, thereby providing a scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies and measures of injury. Methods The injury reports from the Injury Surveillance System and the meteorological data of Bao'an District between 2018 to 2022 were collected. The meteorological data were sourced from the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) land reanalysis data. Based on time-stratified case-crossover design, conditional logistic regression combined with distributed lag nonlinear model was used to evaluate the exposure-response association between ambient temperature and injury. The stratified analyses were further conducted by gender, age, and causes of injury. Results A total of 156205 injury cases were collected from the injury surveillance sentinel hospitals in Bao'an District of Shenzhen from 2018 to 2022, and the median of daily average temperature during the same period was 20.0 ℃. The exposure-response curve showed that the risk of injury was positively correlated with temperature. The linearized analysis revealed that each 1°C increase in temperature was associated with a 1.05% (95%CI: 0.68%, 1.42%) rise in injury risk (ER). Notably, the effect was greater in females (ER=1.31%, 95%CI: 0.67%, 1.94%) than males (ER=0.92%, 95%CI: 0.47%, 1.37%). Among age groups, adults ＞60 years faced the highest risk (ER=1.91%, 95%CI: −0.36%, 4.24%). The top three temperature-associated injury risks were sharp instrument injuries (ER=2.19%, 95%CI: 1.16%, 3.22%), animal injuries (ER=1.71%, 95%CI: 0.86%, 2.56%), and blunt injuries (ER=071%, 95%CI: −0.08%, 1.51%). The impact of temperature on unintentional injuries (ER=1.11%, 95%CI: 0.72%, 1.49%) was higher than that on intentional injuries (ER=0.43%, 95%CI: −0.85%, 1.72%). Severe injuries (ER=2.20%, 95%CI: −3.09%, 7.77%) were more affected by temperature than mild injuries (ER=1.00%, 95%CI: 0.58%, 1.43%) and moderate injuries (ER=1.15%, 95%CI: 0.42%, 1.89%). Conclusion The increase in ambient temperature associates with injury occurrence, and the impact of temperature exhibits obvious heterogeneity among different populations, indicating that targeted intervention measures should be taken for different populations and types of injuries.

Sigma-1 receptor (σ ₁R) has become a focus point of drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. A series of novel 1-phenylethan-1-one O-(2-aminoethyl) oxime derivatives were synthesized. In vitro biological evaluation led to the identification of 1a, 14a, 15d and 16d as the most high-affinity (K _i < 4 nmol/L) and selective σ ₁R agonists. Among these, 15d, the most metabolically stable derivative exhibited high selectivity for σ ₁R in relation to σ ₂R and 52 other human targets. In addition to low CYP450 inhibition and induction, 15d also exhibited high brain permeability and excellent oral bioavailability. Importantly, 15d demonstrated effective antipsychotic potency, particularly for alleviating negative symptoms and improving cognitive impairment in experimental animal models, both of which are major challenges for schizophrenia treatment. Moreover, 15d produced no significant extrapyramidal symptoms, exhibiting superior pharmacological profiles in relation to current antipsychotic drugs. Mechanistically, 15d inhibited GSK3β and enhanced prefrontal BDNF expression and excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons. Collectively, these in vivo proof-of-concept findings provide substantial experimental evidence to demonstrate that modulating σ ₁R represents a potential new therapeutic approach for schizophrenia. The novel chemical entity along with its favorable drug-like and pharmacological profile of 15d renders it a promising candidate for treating schizophrenia.

Objective:To explore the value of a scoring system based on preoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) for predicting the difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 105 patients diagnosed with gallstones or cholecystitis who underwent LC at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 and February 2022. Based on surgical video reviews, patients were divided into the easy group ( n=58) and the difficult group ( n=47) according to the intraoperative Parkland Grading Scale (PGS), with PGS grades 1-2 assigned to the easy group, and PGS grades 3-5 assigned to the difficult group. The normally distributed measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and compared using independent samples t-test; the non-normally distributed measurement data were expressed as median (interquartile range) [ M ( Q1, Q3)], and compared using the rank-sum test. The count data were expressed as the number of cases and percentage, and compared using the Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method. Univariate analysis and cut-off value determination: for continuous CT variables, univariate Logistic regression and stepwise regression analyses (with surgical difficulty grouping as the dependent variable) were performed to identify the optimal combination of predictive variables and establish a scoring system. For each significantly associated continuous variable or important CT image feature from a clinical perspective, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate its predictive performance for difficult surgery. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated, and the optimal cut-off value was determined using the Youden index to maximize the sum of sensitivity and specificity. The categorical CT image features were scored according to their original groups. The Kappa consistency test was used to assess the strength of agreement between the preoperative abdominal CT score (grouped by the optimal cut-off) and PGS grades (easy/difficult). Decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to validate the predictive performance of the model. Results:Stepwise Logistic regression identified seven key imaging features as the optimal predictive variables for constructing the preoperative abdominal CT scoring system: maximum gallbladder cross-sectional diameter, maximum gallbladder cross-sectional width, gallbladder wall thickness, common bile duct diameter, pericholecystic fat stranding, periductal fat stranding, and impacted cystic duct stones. Each case was scored after assigning scores based on the optimal cut-off values. The total score of the preoperative abdominal CT scoring system was ≥3 points predicted difficult LC with an AUC of 0.745 (95% CI: 0.650-0.839), sensitivity of 66.0%, and specificity of 75.9%. DCA confirmed the model′s reliable predictive performance, and the preoperative abdominal CT scoring system showed good agreement with PGS grades ( Kappa value was 0.420, P<0.001). Conclusions:The preoperative abdominal CT scoring system based on pericholecystic imaging features can effectively predict the difficulty of LC with good discriminative ability. It provides a quantitative tool for preoperative assessment, surgical scheduling, and ambulatory surgery management.

Objective To explore the effect of intermittent fasting combined with diversified management mode on weight loss of overweight and obese people. Methods A total of 120 overweight and obese patients were selected as research objects, and randomly divided into control group (n=60) and experimental group (n=60). The control group was given intermittent fasting, and the experimental group was given diversified management mode on the basis of the control group. Waist circumference, body mass, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio and blood lipid level were compared between the two groups; the scores of hunger, satiety, satisfaction and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results After intervention, waist circumference, body mass, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the experimental group were significantly lower, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After intervention, the hunger score of the experimental group was significantly lower, and the satiety score and satisfaction score were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was 6.67%, which was significantly lower than 20.00% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of intermittent fasting combined with diversified management mode in overweight and obese people is better, which can improve the relevant clinical indicators and blood lipid levels, and has high safety.

Objective:To evaluate the role of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase (HO-1) signaling pathway in reduction of endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) by esketamine and the relationship with NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in mice.Methods:SPF male wild-type (WT) and Nrf2 knockout (KO) C57BL/6J mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: control group (WT+ C group, KO+ C group), ALI group (WT+ ALI group, KO+ ALI group) and ALI+ esketamine group (WT+ ALI+ E group, KO+ ALI+ E group). ALI model was developed by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 15 mg/kg via the tail vein. Esketamine 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min after LPS injection, and 6 h later the medication was repeated for one time in WT+ ALI+ E and KO+ ALI+ E groups, while the equal volume of normal saline was given in the other groups. The mice were anesthetized at 12 h after LPS injection, and blood samples were obtained by cardiac puncture for determination of serum interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and IL-18 concentrations, and bilateral lung tissues were also obtained for examination of the pathological changes of lung tissues(with the light microscope) which were scored and for determination of the content of reduced glutathione (GSH) and expression of Nrf2, HO-1 and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD[ASC], pro-caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-1, gasdermin D[GSDMD]) (by Western blot). Results:Compared with the corresponding C group (WT+ C group or KO+ C group), the lung injury score and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly increased, the content of GSH in lung tissues was decreased, and the expression of NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1, cleved-caspase-1 and GSDMD was up-regulated in WT+ ALI group and KO+ ALI group ( P<0.05), and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was significantly up-regulated in WT+ ALI group( P<0.05). Compared with the corresponding ALI group (WT+ ALI group or KO+ ALI group), the lung injury score and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly decreased, the content of GSH in lung tissues was increased, and the expression of NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1, cleved-caspase-1 and GSDMD was down-regulated in WT+ ALI+ E group and KO+ ALI+ E group ( P<0.05), and Nrf2 and HO-1 expression was significantly up-regulated in WT+ ALI+ E group( P<0.05). Compared with WT+ ALI+ E group, the lung injury score and concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly increased, the content of GSH in lung tissues was decreased, the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was down-regulated, and the expression of NLRP3, ASC, pro-caspase-1, cleved-caspase-1 and GSDMD was up-regulated in KO+ ALI+ E group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which esketamine reduces endotoxin-induced ALI may be related to activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, thus inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in mice.

Objective To understand the situation of cancer screening of community residents and its association with the knowledge of cancer core knowledge, and to provide reference for the formulation of secondary cancer prevention measures. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2 037 residents aged 18-79 who lived in Bao 'an District, Shenzhen. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between core knowledge and cancer screening behavior after adjusting for age, gender, education, marriage, occupation and smoking. Results The cancer screening rate of community residents was 28.10%, and the screening rate of middle-aged and elderly people aged 40-79 was 33.50 %.The proportion of ^“not very well understanding^”, ^“partial understanding^” and ^“basic understanding^” of the core knowledge of cancer were 43.91%, 42.33% and 13.76%, respectively, which was higher than that of the non-participants. Multivariate analysis showed that the women, the higher the level of education of college/university or above and the higher the level of knowledge of cancer prevention core knowledge, the higher the probability of participating in cancer screening was OR (95%CI ) : 2.40 (1.86-3.12), 1.65 (1.29-2.10), 1.38 (1.18 - 1.62), respectively. Conclusion The proportion of cancer screening in community residents needs to be improved, and the degree of core knowledge of cancer is closely related to cancer screening behavior. It is suggested to increase the publicity and education of the core knowledge of cancer, and at the same time, carry out the health education of secondary cancer prevention for the key population such as men and people with low education level, so as to improve the proportion of ^“early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment^” of cancer.

Objective:To evaluate delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) in acute cholecystitis.Methods:Clinical data of 64 patients who were diagnosed moderate (grade Ⅱ) acute cholecystitis by the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines in acute phase and underwent delayed LC at our hospital from Jan 2018 to Jan 2021 were compared between two groups ie PTGBD treatment (21 cases)in acute stage before DLC and DLC without PTGBD group (43 cases). The difficulty score of TG18 was used to evaluated every surgical procedure of the cases by reviewing the operation videos.Results:Patients in DLC after PTGBD group had a longer hospital stay and operation time, more blood lose and higher difficulty score than the DLC without PTGBD group(all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the conversion rate and morbidity rate between the two groups( P>0.05). Conclusion:This study fails to show there is any if ever benefit of PTGBD before DLC over DLC without PTGBD in the management of Grade Ⅱ acute cholecystitis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between lymph node metastases and the prognosis of uterine cervical cancer patients diagnosed at Ⅲ C1p after abdominal surgery. Methods:The clinical data of 350 uterine cervical cancer patients preoperatively confirmed as 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ B-Ⅱ A who underwent abdominal hysterectomy followed by postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy between January 2012 and December 2019 at Subei People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province were retrospectively analyzed, and there were 81 patients postoperatively diagnosed at stage Ⅲ C1p. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of patients stratified by different factors, and multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Results:Among 81 uterine cervical cancer patients diagnosed at stage Ⅲ C1p after abdominal surgery, 79 cases were successfully followed up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with parametrial infiltration, the number of metastatic lymph nodes > 2, metastatic lymph node rate > 20 and common iliac lymph node metastasis had worse disease-free survival (DFS) and the overall survival (OS) (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional analysis showed that the number of metastatic lymph nodes > 2 ( HR = 5.38,95% CI 1.30-22.20, P = 0.020) was an independent risk factor for OS; the number of metastatic lymph nodes >2 ( HR = 5.99, 95% CI 1.45-24.77, P = 0.013), common iliac lymph node metastasis ( HR = 4.91, 95% CI 1.17-20.55, P = 0.029) were independent risk factors for DFS. Conclusion:Lymph node metastasis may be associated with the prognosis of uterine cervical cancer patients diagnosed at stage Ⅲ C1p after abdominal surgery. The number of metastatic lymph nodes > 2 is a adverse influencing factor for OS and DFS.

Objective: To analyze the possible responses of parents of young children to Child sexual assault (CSA) and the potential influencing factors, so as to provide evidence for prevention programs of CSA. Methods: Part of the data from "2016-2020 Child Injury Prevention Project" was used to analyze responses to CSA among parents of children younger than 3rd grade in primary school by chi square test and Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 4 072 parents were included in the analysis. Among them, 86.8% of parents chose "to solve problems together", 51.0% of parents taking children to a "psychologist", 4.9% of parents "scolding children for being too careless", 2.9% of parents "letting child not disclose abuse" and 6.5% of parents chose "other" coping methods. Parents with foreign nationality [OR(95%CI)=2.58(1.25-5.15)] and lower education level (OR=0.26-0.64) tend to "blame" their children. Mothers [(OR(95%CI)=0.54(0.33-0.90)], higher parental education level (OR=0.27-0.72) were more reluctant to encourage their children to keep quiet. Mothers [OR(95%CI)=1.73(1.32-2.27)], older children (OR=1.33-1.78) and parents with higher education level (OR=1.65-2.99) tend to "accompany". Parents aged 30 or more, and from high school/technical school/technical secondary school tend to take their children to see a "psychologist" [OR(95%CI)=1.39(1.14-1.71), 1.79(1.26-2.53)]. Conclusion Parents universally pay attention to the physical and mental health of children after CSA, but some parents still take negative coping methods, e.g. "blame" and "not disclose". Parenting educational level, duration of parent-child communication and age of children are primary factors associated with parental responses to child sexual assault. This study suggests that prevention secondary injury following child sexual assault should be farther strengthened, while fully considering the characteristics of the educated objects.

Objective:To evaluate clinical effect of tampon tamponade combined with wedge resection of the nail folds in the treatment of ingrown toenail-induced paronychia.Methods:A total of 96 patients with ingrown toenail-induced paronychia were collected from Department of Emergency Medicine, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between August 2017 and April 2019, and randomly and equally divided into 2 groups by using a random number table: control group treated surgically with the Winograd method, and treatment group treated with tampon tamponade combined with wedge resection of the nail folds. All the patients were followed up for 6 - 23 months after surgery.Results:Six months after operation, 47 (97.92%) and 41 (85.42%) cases were cured in the treatment group and control group respectively, and the cure rate significantly differed between the 2 groups ( χ2 = 4.909, P < 0.05) . The visual analogue scale scores for pain were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group on day 3 and 1 month after operation (both P < 0.05) . The postoperative recurrence rate and infection rate were 0 and 2.08% in the treatment group respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (6.25%, 12.5%, respectively, both P < 0.05) . Conclusion:Tampon tamponade combined with wedge resection of the nail folds is effective for the treatment of ingrown toenail-induced paronychia with a simple operative procedure and a low postoperative recurrence rate, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
