Objective:To investigate the contributing factors to elevated blood pressure in borderline cases during medical selection for recruitment of Air Force flying cadets in order to enhance the accuracy of selection.Methods:Blood pressure was measured among 2 350 male high school graduates in the 2022 re-selection phase of medical selection of Air Force flying cadets. None of the participants had a family history of hypertension according to previous health checkups. Identified through blood pressure measurement, subjects with borderline hypertension were assigned to an intervention group (self-intervention with personalized correction plans) and a control group (self-intervention alone) using a random number table. Standardized blood pressure measurements and comprehensive medical history reviews were performed to compare pre- and post-intervention outcomes across the 2 groups, followed by an investigation into the causative mechanisms of elevated blood pressure.Results:Among the 102 cases of borderline hypertension (51 per group) identified, primary contributing factors included the white-coat phenomenon (41.2%), pre-examination physical activity (17.6%), pre-examination medications (3.9%) and poor sleep quality (35.3%). No significant differences in systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were observed between the 2 groups at baseline (both P>0.05). After interventions, the intervention group showed significantly lower SBP ( t=3.13, P=0.002) and DBP ( t=7.68, P<0.001) than the control group. Both groups exhibited reductions in SBP and DBP from baseline ( t=6.63, 8.97, 4.13, 2.03, P<0.001, <0.001, <0.001, =0.043). The percentage of students with normal blood pressure was 96.1% (49/51) in the intervention group and 78.4% (40/51) in the control group. Conclusions:Transient blood pressure elevation in selection settings primarily stems from the white-coat phenomenon, physical exertion, medications and sleep disturbances. Standardizing blood pressure measurement protocols and addressing transient factors can help avoid unwarranted disqualifications and ensure the accuracy of selection.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound features modified version 2022 of the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System(O-RADS)Category 4 in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted in 501 cases with ovarian masses classified into 4 categories according to the 2022 version of O-RADS who were collected from 4 clinical centers[the Second Afliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University(188 cases),Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital(146 cases),Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital(90 cases),and Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University(77 cases)]from January 2018 to July 2024 with concomitant surgical resection.The 424 cases from 3 of the clinical centers(the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University,Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital,and Sichuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital)were randomly divided into a training group(339 cases)and an internal validation group(85 cases)according to an 8∶2 randomization,while the cases from the other clinical center(Fuling Hospital of Chongqing University)were selected as the external validation group(77 cases),and the pathological diagnosis was used as the “gold standard”.Univariate and multifactorial logistic regression analyses were performed on the ultrasound characteristics of the training group to screen the independent predictors associated with ovarian carcinogenesis,and to formulate the stratification rules for the 4 types of masses in O-RADS. The ROC curve of this stratification method was plotted and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated,and it was validated in the internal validation group and the external validation group;and the diagnostic accuracy was compared with that of the 2022 version of O-RADS.Results:Univariate logistic analysis showed that cysts with solid components,≥ 4 papillary projections,smooth inner wall of the cyst,color flow score ≥ 3 points,and acoustic shadowing were independent predictors of ovarian cancer(all P < 0.05);while multifactorial logistic analysis showed that cysts with a solid component and a color flow score ≥3 points were independent risk factors of ovarian cancer(all P < 0.05),and smooth cyst walls and acoustic shadows were independent protective factors(all P < 0.05).The diagnostic accuracies of the modified training group,internal validation group,and external validation group were 73.7%,68.2%,70.1%,respectively,which were significantly higher than the diagnostic accuracies of the 2022 version of the O-RADS(38.9%,37.6%,33.8%)(all P < 0.05).The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and AUC of the training group were 0.871,0.652,0.762,respectively,while the internal validation group were 0.844,0.585,0.714,and 0.846,0.627,0.737 in the external validation group. Conclusions:Improvement of the 2022 version of O-RADS category 4 using ultrasound features may improve the identification of benign and malignant ovarian-adnexal tumors.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of health needs and healthcare workforce demands among potential service users in community health service institurions (CHSIs) and establish a comprehensive health needs profile for targeted service development.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey (55 items for adults and 39 items for minors) was conducted among 564 residents aged 3-65 in Dapuqiao Subdistrict, Shanghai from March to May 2024. A health sketch model was developed, encompassing five dimensions (intake, basal metabolism, consumption, influencing factors, and somatosensory perception). Health issues were mapped to standardized healthcare services, and annual standardized workloads (SW) were calculated to quantify human resource demands. Results:Among 534 valid responses (94.68% response rate), 355 from the adults and 179 from minors, the top health issues for adults were irregular diet, nutritional imbalance, obesity, somatic fatigue, and disordered eating; for minors, they were nutritional imbalance, medication overuse, insufficient physical activity, picky eating, and anorexia. The total annual SW required to address these needs was 3 906 807.93. Among them, the total SW for each age group was as follows: the total annual SW demand for children aged between 3 and 5 years old was 24 108.90, for children aged between 6 and 11 years old was 141 355.70, for adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years old was 29 813.74, 223 475.50 for 18-24 year olds, 476 426.53 for 25-34 year olds, 1 221 105.84 for 35-44 year olds, 812 200.22 for 45-54 year olds; and 978 321.50 for 55-65 year olds. Workforce allocation analysis revealed a total demand for 139.84 standardized personnel, with rehabilitation therapists (38.16), general practitioners (35.69), and nurses (27.34) being the top three required roles.Conclusions:Health needs and workforce demands vary significantly across age groups. This study provides a data-driven framework for optimizing community health services through stratified health needs profiling and precision resource allocation. Future strategies should prioritize tailored interventions and workforce planning to bridge service gaps and enhance health outcomes.

Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2025;38(10):1211-1218+1225
Objective To establish an ultra high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLCMS/MS) method for determination of the protein content of the receptor binding domain(RBD) of virus-like particle(VLP)SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and to validate and preliminarily apply it, so as to provide technical support for the quality control.Methods The characteristic peptide of RBD protein of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was screened by high resolution mass spectrometer, and the content of RBD protein was determined by UHPLC-MS/MS. The separation was performed on a Thermo Fisher Hypersil GOLD C18(100 mm × 2. 1 mm, 3 μm) using the mobile phase A consisting of 0. 1% formic acid aqueous solution and mobile phase B consisting of 0. 1% acetonitrile formate solution at a flow rate of 0. 3 mL/min, via the gradient elution,0-3 min,2% B;3-10 min,2%→50% B;10-10.1 min,50%→90% B;10.1-12 min,90% B;12-12.1 min,90%→2% B; 12. 1-15 min, 2% B. The column temperature was 40 ℃ and the sample size was 1 μL. The specificity, stability,precision, linearity, limit of quantitation(LOQ), recovery and repeatability of the method were verified. Six batches of VLP SARS-CoV-2 vaccine bulk solution and six batches of finished products were detected by the method, and the correlation between the method and the method by amino acid analyzer was analyzed.Results The blank solution had no interference with the determination of characteristic peptide content. The test product solution showed good stability within 24 h at room temperature. The relative standard deviation(RSD) of the peak area of the characteristic peptide was 1. 0% after six consecutive injections of the characteristic peptide reference solution. The standard curve had a good linear relationship at the characteristic peptide concentration ranged from 0. 008 954 to 0. 358 200 μg/mL, and the LOQ was 0. 008 954 μg/mL. The RSDs of recovery rates of characteristic peptide in bulk solution and vaccine samples were all less than 10%. The contents of six batches of vaccine bulk solution and six batches of vaccine samples were 0. 169 40-0. 196 60 mg/mL and 0. 014 35-0. 020 50 mg/mL, respectively. The deviation of RBD protein content in VLP SARS-CoV-2 vaccine bulk solution determined by amino acid analyzer and characteristic peptide method was 5. 3%, and the determination results were basically the same.Conclusion The established UHPLC-MS/MS method is simple to operate with strong specificity and accurate quantitation,and can be used for the determination of RBD protein content in VLP SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
