Objective To address the safety challenges arising from the rapid development of nuclear energy and technology, assess the current status of health emergency response capabilities in nuclear radiation emergencies, and promote capacity enhancement. Methods A preliminary evaluation system for health emergency response capability in nuclear radiation emergencies was developed based on a literature review. Two rounds of Delphi expert consultation (n = 20) were conducted, and the analytic hierarchy process was employed to establish judgment matrices for assigning indicator weights. Results The finalized system included six primary indicators (radiation protection capability, triage capability, decontamination and evacuation capability, medical treatment capability, radiation detection capability, and radiation dose estimation capability), along with 29 secondary indicators, such as capability for setting up emergency zones, capability for protecting personnel from internal and external contamination, on-site first aid capability, and personal dose monitoring capability. The expert response rate was 0.95, and the expert authority coefficient reached 0.80. The Kendall’s coefficient of concordance was W = 0.288 (P<0.01) for the first round of expert consultation and W = 0.308 (P<0.01) for the second round. Both rounds demonstrated high agreement among experts, and the consultation questionnaires passed reliability and validity tests. Conclusion By integrating qualitative analysis and quantitative calculation, this study developed a scientifically sound and operationally feasible evaluation system. This system will help identify gaps in health emergency response capabilities and provide scientific guidance and a decision-making basis for optimizing emergency plans and improving the level of health emergency response in nuclear radiation emergencies.

Objective To explore the epidemiological characteristics of gouty arthritis in Northwest China from 2023 to 2025, and to formulate preventive intervention measures. Methods By retrospectively analyzing the case data of medical institutions in Northwest China from January 2023 to June 2025 (a total of 8 139 cases), the incidence trend and population distribution characteristics of gouty arthritis in this area were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. Results From 2023 to 2025, the prevalence rate of gouty arthritis in adult residents in Northwest China was 3.74% (304/8 139). Among the sites affected by gouty arthritis, the metatarsophalangeal joint accounted for the highest proportion (P<0.05). From the perspective of age distribution, the prevalence rate was the highest in 40-59 years old group (5.90%), followed by 66-80 years old group (4.21%) and >80 years old group (2.75%). The incidence rate in 40-65 years old group was higher than that in the other age groups (P<0.05). High blood uric acid and creatinine, alcohol drinking, obesity, high purine diet, concurrent chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome were risk factors affecting gouty arthritis in Northwest China (P<0.05). Conclusion High blood uric acid level, high creatinine level, alcohol drinking, obesity, high purine diet, concurrent chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome are risk factors influencing gouty arthritis in Northwest China. Based on the above factors, this study proposes comprehensive prevention strategies from the individual, community and public health levels to provide a scientific basis for reducing the incidence rate of gouty arthritis.

Objective:To construct and validate a clinical model combining CYP11B2 gene polymorphisms with clinical parameters to predict complete postoperative hypertension remission in primary aldosteronism patients.Methods:The clinical data of a total of 116 patients with primary aldosteronism who underwent unilateral adrenalectomy from April 2018 to August 2024 were retrospectively included. There were 63 males and 53 females，with a body mass index（BMI）of（25.50 ± 2.03）kg/m 2. Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood leukocytes before surgery，and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms（PCR-RFLP）were used to detect CYP11B2（rs1799998）promoter region 344（C > T）base substitution. The follow-up duration was more than 6 months，with the following parameters recorded at the last follow-up：plasma aldosterone，renin，serum potassium，and sodium levels. Blood pressure progression and antihypertensive medication usage were also assessed. The postoperative outcome was determined according to the Primary Aldosteronism Surgical Outcome score（PASO）for primary aldosteronism，and the specific criteria were as follows. ① Clinical complete remission：the patient's blood pressure returned to normal（< 140/90 mmHg，1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa）and all antihypertensive drugs were discontinued；②Partial clinical remission：blood pressure returns to normal，and the number or dose of antihypertensive drugs is reduced compared with before；③Clinical non-remission：blood pressure does not drop and antihypertensive drugs do not change or increase compared with before surgery. Patients were divided into complete and incomplete remission groups. The chi-square test was used for univariate analysis，followed by binary logistic forward conditional regression for multivariate analysis，and a variety of machine learning algorithms such as random forest，logistic regression，support vector machine and gradient lifter were integrated，and the results of multivariate analysis were included to construct a postoperative blood pressure outcome model，and the predictive performance of the model was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curve，calibration curve and clinical decision curve. Results:The PCR-RFLP detection results of 116 cases showed the genotype distribution of CYP11B2（344C > T）（rs1799998）as follows：CC type in 50 cases（43.1%），CT type in 46 cases（39.7%），and TT type in 20 cases（17.3%）. There were 74 cases in the complete remission group and 42 cases in the incomplete remission group，and the rate of complete remission with hypertension at the end of the operation was 63.8%. Univariate analysis showed that the the differences between complete remission group and incomplete remission group in body mass index［（24.27 ± 2.90）kg/m 2 vs.（26.98 ± 3.17）kg/m 2， P<0.001］，preoperative hypertension grade（grade 1/2/3：29/29/16 cases vs. 9/13/20 cases， P = 0.012），preoperative antihypertensive drugs（0/1/≥ 2：25/32/17 cases vs. 7/15/20 cases， P = 0.016），and CYP11B2（344C > T）（CC/TT + CT：39/35 cases vs. 11/31 cases， P = 0.006）were statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that the type of preoperative antihypertensive drugs［≥ 2： OR = 5.26（95% CI 1.12?24.61， P = 0.016；1： OR = 4.55（95% CI 1.23?22.47）， P = 0.025］was the strongest independent predictor，followed by CYP11B2（344C > T）［ OR = 4.02（95% CI 1.16?13.82）， P = 0.028］and BMI［ OR = 3.96（95% CI 2.26?6.92）， P < 0.001］. Comparing the receiver operating feature（ROC）curves of the four types of machine learning models，the best model was the support vector machine model with an area under the curve（AUC）of 0.88（95% CI 0.82?0.95），followed by the gradient elevator model of 0.83（95% CI 0.76?0.91），the logistic regression model of 0.78（95% CI 0.68?0.88），and the random forest model of 0.77（95% CI 0.68?0.86）. The optimal threshold of the Yoden index of the support vector machine model was 0.588，with a sensitivity of 78.5% and a specificity of 86.5%. The clinical decision curve and calibration curve show that the support vector machine model has a higher net benefit and acceptable stability and reliability. Conclusions:The support vector machine model incorporating CYP11B2 gene polymorphisms，BMI，and types of preoperative antihypertensive medications could effectively predict postoperative hypertension remission in primary aldosteronism patients，providing new evidence for personalized treatment strategies

An 85-year-old male patient received immunotherapy with toripalimab (240 mg by intravenous infusion on day 1, 21 days as one treatment cycle). After one week of the first medication, the patient experienced fatigue, poor appetite, weight loss, gradually developed mild ptosis of the right eyelid, shortness of breath and palpitations after activity, which were progressively aggravated. The patient also developed unclear speech, choking on water, and difficulty breathing. Laboratory tests showed alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 93 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 171 U/L, creatine kinase (CK) 2 982 U/L, creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) 110 U/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 603 U/L, and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT) 243 ng/L. All indicators of thyroid function were abnormal. Based on results of the laboratory tests, neurophysiological examination, and electrocardiogram examination, combined with the patient′s clinical symptoms, immune-mediated hepatitis of grade 2, immune-mediated myocarditis of grade 3, myasthenia gravis of grade 3, immune-mediated myositis of grade 2, and thyroid dysfunction of grade 1 were diagnosed, which was considered to be induced by toripalimab. Toripalimab was stopped. After treatments with glucocorticoids, liver-protective drugs, and symptomatic treatments, above-mentioned indicators showed a downward trend. After 27 days of treatments, the patient′s clinical symptoms were improved significantly. Laboratory tests showed ALT 123 U/L, AST 68 U/L, CK 116 U/L, CK-MB 42 U/L, LDH 305 U/L. The thyroid function indicators were all normal. After 57 days of treatments, above symptoms in the patient basically disappeared, and laboratory indicators tended to be normal.

Objective To compare the short-term efficacy and safety of transanal natural orifice specimen extraction surgery(Ta-NOSES)and conventional laparoscopic surgery in left-sided colon cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 35 patients with left-sided colon cancer admitted to the anorectal department of the hospital from January 2018 to December 2019.According to the different surgical methods,the patients were divided into experimental group(15 cases)and control group(20 cases).The observation group underwent Ta-NOSES,and the control group underwent conventional laparoscopic surgery.The perioperative related indicators,postoperative complications,postoperative pain scores,postoperative defecation control,short-term postoperative quality of life scores and 5-year postoperative follow-up of the two groups of patients were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the intraoperative blood loss,stoma status and the number of lymph node dissections between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).Moreover,no permanent stoma occurred in either group of patients.The operation time of the experimental group was longer than that of the control group,the first time to get out of bed and move around,the time of the first anal exhaust,the time of the first diet intake and the hospital stay were shorter than those of the control group,the hospitalization cost was significantly lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).On 1 and 3 days after operation,the VAS scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group.At 3 days after operation,the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly lower than those at 1 day after operation,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in postoperative Kirwan anal function grading between two groups of patients(P<0.05),with the experimental group having a better grading(higher proportion of grade Ⅰ),the control group had poor grading(with a higher proportion of grades Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ).There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).The scores of each item on the Short Form-36(SF-36)in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group at 10 and 20 days after surgery(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of each item on the SF-36 between the two groups at 30 days after surgery(P>0.05).The distant recurrence rate after surgery in the experimental group was 26.7％,compared with 25.0％in the control group,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).There were no tumor recurrence cases with the original incision site,rectal and intestinal cavity,pelvic cavity and other specimen removal routes in both groups.The 5-year survival rate of the experimental group was 73.3％,which was not statistically significantly different from that of the control group(70.0％)(P>0.05).Conclusion Ta-NOSES in the treatment of left-sided colon cancer can alleviate postoperative pain compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery,promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function,improve the utilization rate of medical resources,reduce the economic burden of patients,improve the short-term quality of life after surgery,and does not increase the risks of postoperative complications and tumor metastasis and recurrence.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

China emerges as a major country in nuclear energy development and the application of nuclear and radiologic technology. The diagnosis and treatment of acute radiation syndrom (ARS) caused by external irradiation represent a core function in the country′s medical rescue of nuclear and radiological emergencies. Clinically, ARS manifests hematopoietic, gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and central nervous system syndromes, with specific clinical manifestations, signs, severity, and prognosis strongly correlated with radiation dose. China has established a number of national and provincial centers for treating radiation-induced damage. Nevertheless, most medical staff have limited experience in ARS treatment. This consensus presents a summary of recent experience in treating ARS of China. In combination with recommendations from international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), this consensus proposes key evidence of critical clinical issues of ARS, covering all links in the rescue of external irradiation-induced ARS. Initially, clinical diagnosis, syndromes, and severe degrees should be determined based on clinical symptoms and dose estimates. It is necessary to normalize clinical treatment measures for hematopoietic recovery, gastrointestinal injury treatment, infection control, symptomatic treatment, and multi-organ function preservation. To this end, this consensus offers cautions. This consensus provides principles of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, psychological intervention, and follow-up. Additionally, it highlights multidisciplinary collaboration. It is recommended that this consensus be applied in relevant treatment centers.

This study analyzed the epidemiological characteristics and trends of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections among inpatients with acute respiratory infections (ARI) in a children′s hospital in Shenzhen City inpatients from 2020 to 2023. From January 2020 to December 2023, multiple reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis fragment analysis technology was used to detect the nucleic acids of 12 respiratory pathogens, including RSV, in hospitalized children diagnosed with ARI. The patients were divided into six age groups: 0 to <6 months, 6 months to <1 year, 1 to <2 years, 2 to <5 years, 5 to <10 years, and 10 to <18 years. A total of 53 033 children were tested, including 6 830 RSV positive cases, with an overall positivity rate of 12.88%. The annual RSV positivity rates from 2020 to 2023 were 20.04%, 16.18%, 4.89%, and 13.33%, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the years ( χ2=1 185.994, P<0.001). The positive rate of RSV detection decreased with increasing age across all years (all P trend<0.05). From 2020 to 2023, the proportion of RSV-positive cases aged 2 to 5 years and older showed an increasing trend ( P trend<0.001 for all years). Compared to 2023, the median age of RSV-infected children was lower in 2020 ( Z=7.826, P<0.001) and 2021 ( Z=6.106, P<0.001). The proportion of severe infections requiring ICU admission did not change significantly across all years ( χ2=0.179, P=0.981). The RSV epidemic season in 2020 mainly occurred during 28-43 weeks, and in 2021, it spanned from 22-43 weeks. However, in 2022, the season was delayed until the 49th week and lasted for three weeks. In 2023, the seasonal epidemic appeared earlier, starting in the 14th week and lasting for 28 weeks. From 2020 to 2023, the rate of RSV co-infections with other pathogens (mycoplasma pneumoniae, human parainfluenza virus, human bocavirus, human coronavirus, human metapneumovirus, and influenza A) significantly increased (all P trend<0.01). In conclusion, the epidemiological characteristics of RSV infections in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital changed from 2020 to 2023. In 2022, there were only delayed, low-intensity and short-lived seasonal epidemics. However, in 2023, there was an earlier and prolonged epidemic, with increased infections in children aged 2 to 5 years and older and a rise in co-infections, while the proportion of severe infections requiring ICU admission remained unchanged.
