Objective:To study the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and influencing factors of echinococcosis surgical patients included in the project management in Jingyuan County since the implementation of the Central Transfer Payment for Local Echinococcosis Prevention and Control Project (hereinafter referred to as the Echinococcosis Prevention and Control Project).Methods:Surgical patients included in the management of Echinococcosis Prevention and Control Project in Jingyuan County from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2022 were selected as study subjects for a door-to-door questionnaire survey to collect basic information, medical treatment and diagnosis, surgical situation, postoperative follow-up and management situation, preoperative and postoperative HRQOL. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors of HRQOL in echinococcosis surgical patients.Results:A total of 111 echinococcosis patients undergoing surgery were included, with a first visit duration [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 8.0 (5.0, 12.0) years from symptom onset to initial consultation, and a surgical treatment duration of 8.0 (5.0, 12.0) years from diagnosis to surgical intervention. The cure rate based on postoperative efficacy observation was 81.08% (90/111). There was no statistically significant differences in the distribution of preoperative and postoperative mobility, self-care, daily activities, anxiety or depression among echinococcosis patients undergoing surgery ( P > 0.05). However, significant differences were observed in the distribution of pain or discomfort and health status scores ( P < 0.001). The results of ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative age [≥61 years old, OR (95% CI) = 0.06 (0.01, 0.56), P = 0.014], preoperative concomitant hypertension (grade Ⅱ), diabetes, and heart disease [ OR (95% CI) = 13.15 (1.80, 96.13), 57.69 (2.05, 1 620.13), 10.90 (1.27, 93.90), P < 0.05], initial lesion location in the abdominal cavity and the lesion in two or more locations [ OR (95% CI) = 30.83 (1.05, 902.45), 114.25 (7.24, 1 801.75), P < 0.05] were independent influencing factors for preoperative HRQOL in patients with echinococcosis. Postoperative comorbidities of hypertension (grade Ⅱ) and diabetes [ OR (95% CI) = 42.77 (2.39, 766.21), 901.40 (4.64, 1 740.94), P < 0.05], and postoperative complications [ OR (95% CI) = 130.61 (6.27, 2 722.24), P = 0.002] were independent influencing factors for postoperative HRQOL in patients with echinococcosis. Conclusions:The health status of patients with echinococcosis has significantly improved after surgical treatment. Preoperative factors affecting HRQOL of patients with echinococcosis include age, concomitant hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and the initial lesion location. Postoperative influencing factors include concomitant hypertension and diabetes, as well as postoperative complications.

This study focuses on the cases(mainly characterized by respiratory symptoms such as cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat, and nasal congestion)of an outbreak of upper respiratory tract infections in a kindergarten in Jingyuan County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, in May 2023. The epidemiological data were collected, and pharyngeal swab specimens were also obtained from the patients. The specimens of the research participants were subjected to respiratory multi-pathogen testing, and the positive specimens were further analyzed by sequencing the second hypervariable region (HRV2) of the G gene of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and constructing a phylogenetic tree. A total of 90 patients were collected, with an incidence rate of 22.84% (90/394), and the highest incidence was observed in the junior class group at 29.55%. Among the 17 pharyngeal swab specimens collected, 16 specimens were identified with the A subtype of respiratory syncytial virus. Sequencing analysis confirmed that it was the A subtype ON1 genotype. Based on the aforementioned testing results, it can be concluded that the current epidemic was primarily caused by infection with the A subtype of respiratory syncytial virus. Following the implementation of intervention measures, the epidemic has been effectively controlled.
