Objective To analyze the differences in the epidemiological characteristics,susceptible popula-tions,and laboratory index of patients with common acute upper respiratory tract infections(novel coronavir-us infection,influenza A and influenza B)between plateau and plain areas.Methods Clinical data of 408 008 patients with symptoms of fever or upper respiratory tract infection in the fever clinic of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University and General Hospital of Xizang Military Command from January 2023 to Au-gust 2024 were collected.The epidemic characteristics,susceptible populations,and peripheral blood test data were compared and analyzed.Results The total positive rate of novel coronavirus infection,influenza A virus and influenza B virus infection in plain group(17.86％)was higher than that in plateau group(14.49％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The positive rates(17.98％and 17.76％)of male and female upper respiratory tract infection pathogens(novel coronavirus,influenza A virus and influenza B virus)in plain group were higher than those in plateau group(13.94％and 16.00％),and the differences were statis-tically significant(P＜0.05).The total positive rates of three kinds of upper respiratory tract infection patho-gens were 16.21％,18.27％and 14.63％in the plain group,and 14.62％,14.06％and 21.26％in the plateau group,respectively.According to the results of pathogen analysis of susceptible populations,whether it was plateau or plain,the positive rate of influenza A virus was higher in the minor group,the positive rate of influ-enza B virus was highest in the adult group,and the positive rate of novel coronavirus was highest in the elder-ly group.In terms of epidemic season,plateau and plain areas were different,and the epidemic occurred earlier in the plain area.In terms of peripheral blood test indicators,there were statistically significant differences in lymphocyte count,monocyte count,neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and other indicators between plateau group and plain group(P＜0.05),while there were no statistically significant differences in white blood cell count between plateau group and plain group(P＞0.05).Conclusion The epidemiological characteristics of acute upper respiratory tract infection in plateau area are obviously different from those in plain area,which may be related to the natural environment and human geography environment.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of reverse abdominal wall advancement flap in repairing chest wall soft tissue defect after breast tumor resection.Methods:From October 2020 to April 2021, the Department of Plastic Surgery and Breast Surgery of Hainan Cancer Hospital cooperated to repair the chest wall wounds of 4 female patients with unilateral giant breast tumors after primary lesion resection. Patients aged 40-63 years old, with an average of 51.5 years old. The size of the tumor estimated by physical examination was 7 cm × 6 cm-15 cm × 20 cm. The flaps were closely monitored after surgery, and complications were recorded. Local recurrence was followed-up.Results:The wound size of 4 patients after mastectomy was 16 cm×14 cm-20 cm×18 cm. Abdomen separation range reached anterior axillary line laterally and contralateral clavicle midline medially. Inferiorly, 1 case reached umbilical level, 1 case reached 2 cm below the umbilicus, and 2 cases reached 3 cm below the umbilicus. Three cases were diagnosed as breast lobulated tumors, and 1 case invasive lobular carcinoma. Among the 4 cases, 3 flaps survived completely and healed by first intention, while another flap healed under blister scab. There was no necrosis, infection, hematoma, seroma, or vascular crisis of the flap. All patients were satisfied. Three patients received radiotherapy and one received radiotherapy combined with oral chemotherapy. All patients were followed up for 3-6 months. No local recurrence was discovered. The abdomen was tighter than before operation, but no stiffness was found. There was no abdominal pain, abdominal wall bulging or abdominal hernia.Conclusions:Reverse abdominal wall advancedment flap was used to repair soft tissue defect of the chest wall after breast tumor resection. The operation was simple and fast, with no need for additional donor site incision. Quick recovery allowed shorter interval between surgery and next scheduled treatments.
