Objective To retrospectively analyze the related influencing factors of the infection oc-currence after using tofacitinib in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods The case data of 211 pa-tients with rheumatoid arthritis treated by tofacitinib in the rheumatology and immunology department of Chongqing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to December 2023 were col-lected.The patients were grouped according to whether infection occurred or not.After single factor test on gender,age,Chinese medicine syndromes,time of taking Chinese medicine,lung system diseases and lympho-cyte count,then the factors with statistically significant differences were included in the Logistic regression a-nalysis.Results Spleen deficiency and dampness syndrome,taking traditional Chinese medicine time 1-4 weeks,and>4-<8 weeks were the protective factors for the infection occurrence after using tofacitinib in rheumatoid arthritis(OR=0.427,95%CI:0.184-0.988,P<0.05;OR=0.233,95%CI:0.093-0.580,P<0.05;OR=0.328,95%CI:0.135-0.799,P<0.05),complicating pulmonary interstitial lesions and bronchi-ectasis were the risk factors for infection occurrence after using tofactitinib(OR=3.000,95%CI:1.306-6.894,P<0.05;OR=16.615,95%CI:1.782-154.945,P<0.05).Conclusion The risk of infection occur-rence after using tofacitinib in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis is closely correlated with Chinese medi-cine syndromes,time of taking Chinese medicine and lung system diseases.

Objective:To present an evaluation indicator system for access to cancer screening services.Methods:The evaluation indicator pool was constructed through a scoping review. The theoretical framework was constructed based on the multi-source indicators, and the qualitative expert consultation method was employed to form the initial version of the three-level evaluation indicator system. Delphi expert consultation method was conducted in two rounds to evaluate the relevance, importance, and availability of the proposed evaluation indicator system. The expert positive coefficient, authority coefficient, coordination degree of expert opinions, and concentration of expert opinions were subjected to analysis. Subsequently, the three-level evaluation indicator system for access to cancer screening services was adjusted and determined based on the boundary value method and the open opinions of experts. Finally, the combination weight method was employed to determine the weight.Results:The initial version of the indicator system comprised 3 primary (first-level) indicators, 11 secondary (second-level) indicators, and 46 tertiary (third-level) indicators. Delphi expert consultation was conducted for the initial version, and 17 experts ultimately completed it, exhibiting a positive coefficient of 100% and an authority coefficient of 0.87. In comparison to the initial round of consultation, Kendall's W coefficient ranges (0.15-0.43, all P<0.05) of relevance, importance, and availability scores for each tertiary indicator in the second round exhibited an improvement. The analysis of the importance dimension indicates that expert opinions are also more concentrated, as evidenced by an increase of 8.5% and 7.0% in the proportion of the tertiary indicators with an arithmetic mean above 8 and a full mark ratio above 0.5, respectively. The final evaluation indicator system comprises three primary indicators, with the weights of structure evaluation, process evaluation, and outcome evaluation being 0.338, 0.378, and 0.285, respectively. It also comprises 11 secondary indicators and 45 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation indicator system developed in this article can be an effective evaluation tool for quantitative comparison of access to cancer screening services across different populations, cancer types, and before and after intervention. Furthermore, it is recommended that the system undergo continuous optimization concerning its application.

Objective:To analyze the application value of non-invasive inflammation diagnosis model in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) combined with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.Methods:A total of 98 patients with NAFLD complicated with HBV infection admitted to some coastal China Coast Guard Hospital of People′s Armed Police from June 2019 to October 2021 were selected. Their liver stiffness (LSM), aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio (APRI), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR), and fibrosis index based on factor 4 (FIB-4) were measured, The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze its clinical diagnostic efficacy for liver fibrosis caused by NAFLD combined with HBV infection.Results:Among 98 patients, there were 7 cases in S0 stage, 47 cases in S1 stage, 21 cases in S2 stage, 14 cases in S3 stage, and 9 cases in S4 stage; Including 35 cases of obvious liver fibrosis and 9 cases of cirrhosis. There was no statistically significant difference in gender and body mass index (BMI) among patients in different stages (all P>0.05). Age: the S0 group

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have reported inconsistent results with positive,negative,and J-shaped associations between alcohol consumption and the hazard of aortic aneurysm and dissection(AAD).This study aimed to examine the connections between weekly alcohol consumption and the subsequent risk of AAD. METHODS:The UK Biobank study is a population-based cohort study.Weekly alcohol consumption was assessed using self-reported questionnaires and the congenital risk of alcohol consumption was also evaluated using genetic risk score(GRS).Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios(HRs)with 95%confidence intervals(CIs)for the associations between alcohol consumption and AAD.Several sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS:Among the 388,955 participants(mean age:57.1 years,47.4%male),2,895 incident AAD cases were documented during a median follow-up of 12.5 years.Compared with never-drinkers,moderate drinkers(adjusted HR:0.797,95%CI:0.646-0.984,P<0.05)and moderate-heavy drinkers(adjusted HR:0.794,95%CI:0.635-0.992,P<0.05)were significantly associated with a decreased risk of incident AAD.Interaction-based subgroup analysis revealed that the protective effect of moderate drinking was reflected mainly in participants younger than 65 years and women. CONCLUSION:Our findings support a protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on AAD,but are limited to participants younger than 65 years and women.
