Laparoscopic technology has become an important choice for ventral hernia repair due to its advantages of minimal trauma and rapid recovery. Traditional non-absorbable synthetic meshes are the most commonly used type of mesh in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. Although they provide reliable mechanical support, their long-term presence in the human body may cause mesh erosion and wrinkling, leading to complications such as intestinal fistula, abdominal adhesions, postoperative foreign body sensation, chronic pain, and infection, which are receiving increasing attention. Absorbable meshes, with their excellent biocompatibility and ability to induce tissue remodelling, can reduce the incidence of the above complications and are revolutionising laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. The authors introduce the types and characteristics of existing absorbable mesh, focusing on their clinical efficacy in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, existing challenges and countermeasures, as well as individualized surgical decision-making in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and perinatal factors of death or severe intraventricular hemorrhage (sIVH) within the first week of life in preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks.Methods:Based on the online data platform of Sina-northern Neonatal Network, a case-control study was conducted using clinical data from 8 903 preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks admitted to 35 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between 2019 and 2023. Infants were classified by gestational age at birth into very preterm infants and extremely preterm infants. Infants who died or developed sIVH within the first week of life were defined as the case group, while those who survived and did not develop sIVH were defined as the control group. The general information of the infants, maternal perinatal factors, the 5 th minute Apgar score, incidence of hypothermia or early-onset sepsis, and the first arterial blood pH value were compared between the case and control groups of very preterm infants and extremely preterm infants. The χ2 test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used for intergroup comparisons. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors for death or sIVH within the first week of life in very preterm and extremely preterm infants. Results:Among the 8 903 preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks, 4 993 (56.1%) were male, with a gestational age at birth of 30.0 (28.4, 31.0) weeks. A total of 865 cases (9.7%) were death or sIVH within the first week of life. The case group took up 5.8% (426/7 316) and 27.7% (439/1 587) of very preterm infants and extremely preterm infants, respectively. Compared to the control group, the case group of very preterm and extremely preterm infants both had higher incidences of low gestational age, low birth weight, small for gestational age, the 5 th minute Apgar score ≤7, early-onset sepsis, hypothermia at admission, and first arterial blood pH <7.20 (all P<0.001). The proportion of mother′s full course antenatal corticosteroids use were both lower in both case group (both P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed several risk factors for death or sIVH within the first week of life in very preterm and extremely preterm infants, including: low gestational age ( OR=0.70 and 0.74, 95% CI 0.60-0.82 and 0.66-0.83, both P<0.001), low birth weight ( OR=0.99 and 0.99, 95% CI 0.99-1.00 and 0.99-1.00, both P<0.05), early-onset sepsis ( OR=1.82 and 2.20, 95% CI 1.42-2.34 and 1.74-2.79, both P<0.001), the 5 th minute Apgar score ≤7 ( OR=1.41 and 2.69, 95% CI 1.10-1.81 and 2.17-3.34, both P<0.01), hypothermia at admission ( OR=1.55 and 1.38,95% CI 1.17-2.07 and 1.08-1.76,both P<0.05) and the first arterial blood pH <7.20 ( OR=2.20 and 2.57, 95% CI 1.70-2.84 and 2.05-3.21, both P<0.001). Multiple births were an independent risk factor only for extremely preterm infants ( OR=1.32, 95% CI 1.02-1.71, P<0.05). Prenatal administration of a full course of antenatal corticosteroids was identified as a protective factor in very preterm and extremely preterm infants ( OR=0.74 and 0.62, 95% CI 0.58-0.95 and 0.51-0.76, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of death or sIVH within the first week of life remains high in preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks. The smaller gestational age and lower birth weight, early-onset sepsis, birth asphyxia, hypothermia at admission, and a first arterial blood pH <7.20 were independent risk factors for death or sIVH within the first week of life in preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks. A full course of antenatal corticosteroids significantly reduced the risk of these adverse outcomes.

Objective:To understand the current status of personal protection in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis in China and provide evidence for the evaluation of implementation of National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020).Methods:Four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis from December 2019 to July 2020 by using cross-sectional survey methods.Results:A total of 2 384 persons at high risk for brucellosis were surveyed, and the standardized utilization rate of personal protective equipment (PPE) was 20.13% (480/2 384). The utilization rate of glove, mask, rubber shoe, and work cloth were 38.26% (912/2 384), 31.80% (758/2 384), 32.01% (763/2 384) and 30.87% (736/2 384),respectively. There were significant differences in the utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of the four types of PPE among populations in different age, occupation, educational level and area groups (all P<0.001). The utilization rate and standardized utilization rate of PPE were lower in people over 60 years old, women, farmers, and those with lower educational level. The results of multivariate analysis showed that occupation and area were the influencing factors for the standardized utilization of PPE, the standardized utilization rates of PPE were higher in herdsmen and veterinarians. The standardized utilization rate of PPE in Yanggao County and Huocheng County was significantly higher than that in Zuoyun County and Hunyuan County. Conclusions:The utilization rate of the four types of PPE in occupational population at high risk for brucellosis was not high in China, and the standardized utilization rate was low, lower than the requirement in National Brucellosis Prevention and Control Plan, and there were significant differences among different areas. It is urgent to distribute PPE to occupational population at high risk for brucellosis and carry out health education about PPE utilization. Meanwhile, it is necessary to strengthen information exchange or sharing among different areas.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control among occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis, and to provide a scientific basis for assessing the effectiveness of brucellosis prevention and control in China.Methods:A total of four counties in Shanxi Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected as survey counties from 2019 to 2020, and 600 people from the occupational groups at high-risk of brucellosis in each survey county were selected as survey respondents, and basic information and knowledge of prevention and treatment were collected through questionnaires. Single-factor and multi-factor logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting the population's knowledge of prevention and treatment.Results:A total of 2 411 people participated in the survey and 2 384 valid questionnaires were obtained, including 1 405 males and 979 females, with the youngest age being 18 years old, the oldest being 91 years old, and the median being 57 years old. The overall knowledge of brucellosis prevention and control was 17.74% (423/2 384). The knowledge rate was lower among people over 60 years old, farmers, and people with less than elementary school education (13.99%, 14.50%, and 13.78%), and higher among women, herders, and people with elementary school education (20.02%, 36.33%, and 19.58%); the knowledge rate was lower in Hunyuan County (0.51%), and the differences in overall knowledge rates by age, occupation, education level, and region were statistically significant (χ 2 = 18.25, 87.18, 11.05, 197.43, P < 0.001). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that gender, occupation, literacy and region were associated with knowledge of prevention and treatment ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The overall knowledge of prevention and treatment among high-risk occupational groups in the key areas of China's brucellosis prevention and treatment program is low, with a large gap with the goals of the national brucellosis prevention and treatment program, and gender, occupation, literacy level, and region are the influencing factors of the knowledge of prevention and treatment. There is an urgent need to carry out a variety of health education activities for high-risk occupational groups and to strengthen the exchange of experience on brucellosis prevention and treatment between regions.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is an oral anaerobic bacterium that has recently been found to colonize on the surface of colorectal cancer cells in humans, and its degree of enrichment is highly negatively correlated with the prognosis of tumor treatment. Numerous studies have shown that Fn is involved in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC), and Fn interacts with multiple components in the tumor microenvironment to increase tumor resistance. In recent years, researchers have begun using nanomedicine to inhibit Fn's proliferation at the tumor site or directly target Fn to treat CRC. This review summarizes the mechanism of Fn in promoting CRC and the latest research progress on Fn-related CRC therapy using different nanomaterials. Finally, the applications perspective of nanomaterials in Fn-promoted CRC therapy was prospected.
