Objective To evaluate the short-term effects of comprehensive health management interventions for stroke high-risk population screening on the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke, and to provide reference and basis for improving and exploring health management and prevention strategies for stroke high-risk population. Methods From 2018 to 2022, 13 community health service centers in Jiading District, Shanghai were selected in the present study. Based on information push platform, stroke risk assessment and health intervention follow-up were conducted for community residents through convenience sampling. The residents were divided into a full course intervention group (intervention group) and a routine intervention group (control group) according to different health intervention measures and forms. The incidence of ischemic stroke in the two groups of survey subjects was tracked within 36 months. Results A total of 52144 subjects were included in the study. The total number of patients in the full course intervention group was 14227, with an incidence density of 577.32/100 000 (556.49/100 000-598.12/100 000), which was lower than that of the conventional intervention group (37 917), with an incidence density of 1 485.47/100 000 (1 464.99/100 000-1 505.94/100 000) (χ2=2490.212, P<0.001). The relative risk of the full course intervention group was 0.39, and the relative risk of stroke risk factors in the full course intervention group from low to high was 0.33, 0.43, 0.45, and 0.49, respectively. The incidence density of males in the full course intervention group was 660.76 (627.46/100 000 - 694.05/100 000), with a relative risk of 0.43, and the incidence density of female patients was 509.71/100 000 (483.37/100 000 - 536.05/100 000), with a relative risk of 0.35. The overall incidence density of the population under 62 years old gourp, 62-75 years old group and over 75 years old group was 197.45/100 000 (173.09/100 000 -221.80/100 000), 608.36/100 000 (580.19/100 000-636.54/100 000), and 1 025.06/100 000 (958.51/100 000-1 091.61/100 000), with relative risks of 0.51, 0.44, and 0.38, respectively. Conclusion Comprehensive health management measures can effectively reduce the short-term risk of ischemic stroke, and should be further promoted and improved to enhance the effectiveness of stroke prevention and control.

AIM:To assess the influence of preoperative lacrimal passage probing and dilation on the therapeutic effectiveness of nasolacrimal silicone intubation in cases of incomplete primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction(PANDO).METHODS: A retrospective case-control clinical study was conducted. The study included patients with incomplete PANDO who underwent nasolacrimal silicone intubation at the hospital between October 2022 and October 2024. Participants were categorized into two groups based on their receipt of nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation prior to intubation. Group A consisted of patients who had undergone one or more sessions of nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation before nasolacrimal silicone intubation, while Group B included patients who did not receive nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation before intubation. All patients had their nasolacrimal silicone tubes removed 3 mo postoperatively and were monitored for 6 mo following tube removal to evaluate surgical success rates.RESULTS: A total of 136 patients(152 eyes)completed the six-month follow-up period. The overall surgical success rate for both groups was 72.4%(110/152 eyes).Group A included 22 males and 36 females, mean age 58.09±11.07 y, and achieved a success rate of 82.8%(53/64 eyes), while Group B included 27 males and 51 females, mean age 59.35±8.84 y and attained a success rate of 64.8%(57/88 eyes). The difference in surgical success rates between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.014). Furthermore, Group A achieved a complete success rate of 67.2%(43/64 eyes), compared to 47.7%(42/88 eyes)in Group B, with this difference also reaching statistical significance(P=0.017). No serious postoperative complications were observed in either group.CONCLUSION: Nasolacrimal silicone intubation is a safe and effective intervention for incomplete PANDO, with preoperative nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes.

BackgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) carries a considerable disability burden. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is associated with the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, yet its neural underpinnings remain unclear. The cerebellum has been implicated in uncertainty processing and demonstrates structural and functional abnormalities in OCD, but direct evidence linking its spontaneous activity to the relationship between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms is still lacking. ObjectiveTo explore the pathway through which spontaneous cerebellar neural activity mediates the relationship between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in OCD patients, with the aim of providing a new perspective for understanding the neural mechanisms of OCD. MethodsA total of 51 patients with OCD who visited the Mental Health Center outpatient clinic of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from November 2022 to November 2024 and met the diagnostic criteria for OCD according to the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10). During the same period, 43 community-based volunteers matched for gender and age were enrolled as the control group. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from two groups. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analysis was used to compare whole-brain spontaneous neural activity between two groups. Clinical assessments were conducted using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12 (IUS-12). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine correlations between cerebellar ALFF values and scale scores in OCD patients. Using IU as the independent variable, obsessive-compulsive symptoms as the dependent variable, and ALFF values from between-group difference brain regions as the mediator, Process 4.0 for SPSS 24.0 (model 4) was used to examine the mediating role of these ALFF values between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The Bootstrap method was used to test the mediation effect. ResultsA total of 47 OCD patients and 40 controls completed this study. Compared with the control group, the OCD group showed decreased ALFF values in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ (t=-5.254, FWE-corrected P<0.01). Correlation analysis revealed that ALFF value in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ was negatively correlated with Y-BOCS total score (r=-0.851), compulsive behavior subscale score (r=-0.647), IUS-12 total scores (r=-0.617), and prospective IU subscale scores (r=-0.717) in OCD group (P<0.01). Prospective IU subscale scores were positively correlated with Y-BOCS total scores (r=0.811) and compulsive behavior subscale score (r=0.535) (P<0.01). Mediation analysis showed that ALFF value in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region partially mediated the effect of prospective IU on obsessive-compulsive behavior, with a mediation effect of 0.064 (95% CI: 0.004–0.136), accounting for 24.57% of the total effect. ConclusionPatients with OCD showed reduced spontaneous neural activity in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region, which was significantly associated with IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. This region partially mediated the effect of IU on compulsive behaviors.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in patients with sepsis, and to construct a nomogram prediction model. Methods A total of 360 patients with sepsis admitted from January 2020 to December 2025 were enrolled as study subjects. The risk factors for ICU-AW were identified by logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was constructed, and the model was validated. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, APACHE II score, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of immobilization, duration of sedation, and NLR were risk factors for the occurrence of ICU-AW (P<0.05), while ALB was a protective factor (P<0.05). A nomogram model was constructed based on these seven variables. After validation via Bootstrap resampling, ROC curve showed an AUC of 0.949 (0.929–0.969) and a corrected AUC of 0.942 (0.940–0.948), indicating good discrimination degree of the model. Hosmer-Lemeshow test for calibration curve revealed a chi-square value of 10.188 (P=0.252), suggesting that the predicted value of fitting was generally consistent with the actual value. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that when the threshold was in the range of 0.05–0.9, the model had a good net benefit. Conclusion The nomogram prediction model for sepsis ICU-AW based on seven indicators including age, APACHE II score, NLR, ALB, and the durations of mechanical ventilation, immobilization, and sedation exhibits good predictive efficiency and stability. This nomogram prediction model is helpful for the clinical rapid screening of ICU-AW high-risk groups in patients with sepsis, and meets clinical needs for early warning and precise prevention and control.

OBJECTIVE To construct and evaluate a perioperative pharmaceutical care model for orthopedic joint replacement based on clinical pharmacy specialty collaboration and medication therapy management (MTM), so as to provide a reference for improving the level of clinical rational drug use and reducing medical costs.METHODS Patients undergoing orthopedic joint replacement were taken as the research subjects. A specialized collaboration group was established, consisting of the head of the clinical pharmacy group, ward-based clinical pharmacists, and multi-specialty clinical pharmacists. The practice path, service contents,and workflow of MTM for the perioperative period of orthopedic joint replacement were clarified,and a perioperative pharmaceutical care model for orthopedic joint replacement was developed. Data of patients in the orthopedic diagnosis-related groups (DRG)-IC29 group of the department of orthopedics in Daping Hospital,Army Medical University were collected from July 2022 to June 2023 (pre-intervention, 581 cases) and from July 2023 to June 2024 (post-intervention, 843 cases). The work-implementation indicators in the post-intervention period were counted, and the efficiency indicators and pharmaceutical management indicators were compared between the pre- and post-intervention periods. Meanwhile,200 patients were randomly selected from the pre-intervention and post-intervention groups, respectively, to evaluate the rate of rational medical orders.RESULTS From July 2023 to June 2024, the collaboration group implemented MTM for 843 patients undergoing orthopedic joint replacement via the established perioperative pharmaceutical care model. A total of 1 163 drug‑related problems (DRPs) were identified, and 79 patients with high medication‑related risks were screened out. The most common types of DRPs included (possible) adverse drug events/reactions (48.93%), unnecessary drug therapy (21.58%), and ineffective drug therapy (16.25%). Among the 1 163 DRPs, 895 (76.96%) were completely resolved. Compared with the pre‑intervention period, the post‑intervention period showed reductions in average hospitalization cost per case, average drug cost per case, average length of hospital stay, proportion of drug cost, utilization rate and use intensity of antibacterial agents, and per‑capita drug cost of six main drug categories. The rate of rational medical orders increased from 78.25% to 98.11%.CONCLUSIONS The perioperative pharmaceutical care model for orthopedic joint replacement based on clinical pharmacy specialty collaboration and MTM can help pharmacists identify and resolve DRPs during the perioperative period of orthopedic joint replacement,improve the level of clinical rational drug use,and reduce treatment costs.

Abstract:
To explore the latent profiles of physical activity among junior and senior high school students and the association with short-video addiction, so as to provide evidence for the prevention of short-video addiction among adolescents.
Methods:
In November 2024, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 20 840 students from 120 junior and senior high schools in Guangdong Province. Physical activity and short-video addiction were assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Short-video Addiction Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to identify latent classes of physical activity. The robust three-step approach was used to examine the effects of demographic variables, including sex, school stage, age, and residence, on profile membership, and the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars (BCH) method was used to compare short-video addiction levels across profiles after adjusting for demographic variables.
Results:
Four latent profiles of physical activity in junior and senior high school students were identified:low-frequency low-duration profile ( n =1 668, 8.00%), weekday high-frequency activity profile ( n = 12 408 , 59.54%), weekday low-frequency activity profile ( n =5 107, 24.51%), and high frequency high-duration profile ( n = 1 657 , 7.95%). With the high-frequency high-duration profile as the reference, girls were more likely to be assigned to the weekday high-frequency activity profile and less likely to be in the low-frequency low-duration profile compared with boys ( B =0.27, -0.33 ); senior high school students had higher odds of membership in the other three profiles than junior high school students ( B =0.63- 1.09 ); increasing age was associated with increased odds of the low-frequency low-duration profile ( B =0.11); rural students were less likely to belong to the other three profiles than urban students ( B =-0.97 to -0.79) (all P <0.01). After adjusting for demographic variables, short-video addiction scores differed significantly across physical activity profiles in junior and senior high school students ( χ 2=390.23, P <0.01), with scores decreasing in the following order:low-frequency low-duration profile, weekday low-frequency activity profile, weekday high-frequency activity profile, and high-frequency high-duration profile.
Conclusions
Short-video addiction levels vary across different physical activity patterns in junior and senior high school students. Overall, participants with high-frequency and high-duration participation score the lowest, whereas those with low-frequency and low-duration participation score the highest.

Objective To establish a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the simultaneous determination of four carbonate compounds (CCs), including ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), vinylene carbonate (VC), and ethylene carbonate (EC) in workplace air. Methods Vapor-phase EMC, DEC, VC, and EC in workplace air were collected using activated carbon tubes. After desorption with dichloromethane, the samples were analyzed by GC-MS. Qualitative identification was performed based on retention times and characteristic ions, while quantitative analysis was conducted using peak areas of selected characteristic ions. Results The quantitative determination ranges for the four CCs were from 0.57×10⁻³ to 200.00 mg/L, with correlation coefficients ≥0.999 45. The detection limit ranged from 0.17 to 1.60 μg/L, and the lower limit of quantification ranged from 0.57 to 5.33 μg/L. The minimum detection concentration and minimum quantitation concentration were 0.11-1.07 and 0.38-3.55 μg/m³, respectively. Mean spiked recoveries ranged from 85.70% to 111.65%. The intra- and inter-batch relative standard deviations were 0.11%-2.04% and 1.27%-5.18%, respectively. Mean desorption efficiencies of the method ranged from 74.70% to 118.20%. EMC, DEC, and EC samples were stable for up to five days at 4 °C, while VC samples were stable for up to three days at 4 °C. Conclusion The GC-MS method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of the four CCs including EMC, DEC, VC, and EC in workplace air.
