Objective To evaluate the disease risk of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) in aquatic products of raw food in Guangzhou. Methods VP detection was carried out in aquatic products of raw food sold in Guangzhou from 2009 to 2022. Gene sequence and wgSNP analysis of 30 VP strains (including 15 food strains and 15 patient strains) were performed for the detection rate of pathogenic VP. sQMRA was applied to assess VP risk of aquatic products of raw food. Results The detection rate of VP in raw aquatic products in Guangzhou was 7.30% (98/1 343). The detection rate of TDH virulence gene in patient strains was 86.70% (13/15) , and the detection rate of TRH was 6.67% (1/15). In 15 food strains, TDH and TRH were negative. The WgSNP analysis showed that 2 food strains had high similarity with the patient strains, indicating the same cluster. Risk assessment showed that the number of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection cases caused by intaking aquatic products of raw food in Guangzhou was 384 ever year. Conclusion The detection rate of VP in aquatic products of raw food is high in Guangzhou , and the detection rate of VP virulence genes in aquatic products of raw food is low. Gene sequence and wgSNP analysis can be used for risk assessment of food pathogenic bacteria. The risk of disease of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in aquatic products of raw food is high.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of fiber nasopharyngoscope applied in adenoid hypertrophy(AH)combined with allergic rhinitis(AR)in children.Methods Clinical data of 174 pediatric patients from January 2021 to March 2024 was collected and analyzed.Among them,129 cases were diagnosed with AH via fiber nasopharyngoscope examination(79 cases with AR were assigned to the AH with AR group,the remaining 50 cases of simple AH without AR were assigned to the AH group),and 45 cases of simple AR without AH through fiber nasopharyngoscope examination were assigned to the AR group.And 25 healthy children who came to our pediatric health department for health examinations during the same period were selected as the healthy control(HC)group.On the day of admission,all subjects underwent lateral X-ray examination of the nasopharynx,and the ratio of the maximum thickness of adenoids to the anterior posterior diameter of the nasopharynx cavity(A/N ratio)was calculated.Meanwhile their of peripheral blood eosinophil(EOS)percentage,serum interleukin-17(IL-17),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels were tested.The A/N ratio,peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α levels were compared among the AH with AR group,AH group,AR group,and HC group.The A/N ratio,peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α levels of children with different degrees of adenoid obstruction under fiber nasopharyngoscope were compared in AH and AR group.Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the degree of adenoid obstruction under fiber nasopharyngoscope and the levels of peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α in children from AH and AR group.Result A/N ratio:the value in AH with AR group was higher than that in AH group(P＜0.05),the value in AH group was higher than that in AR group(P＜0.05),and the value in AR group was higher than that in HC group(P＜0.05).Peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α levels:AH with AR group had higher levels than those in AR group(P＜0.05),AR group had higher levels than those in AH group(P＜0.05),and AH group had higher levels than those in HC group(P＜0.05).The A/N ratio,peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α levels in children with adenoid obstruction degree Ⅲ～Ⅳ under fiber nasopharyngoscope in the AH group were significantly higher than those in children with degree Ⅰ～Ⅱ(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the degree of adenoid obstruction under fiber nasopharyngoscope in children with AH accompanied by AR significantly positively correlated with peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α levels(r values were 0.527,0.451,and 0.402 respectively,P＜0.05).Conclusion Fiber nasopharyngoscope can be used for the diagnosis of AH with AR in children,and can be positive in determining severity of the patient's condition when combined with peripheral blood EOS percentage,serum IL-17 and TNF-α levels.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women and its relationship with sense of coherence, providing reference for precise support interventions in clinical practice.Methods:From January to September 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 304 pregnant women who underwent antenatal examination at the Obstetrics Clinic of Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University as participants. The General Information Questionnaire, Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire, and the Sense of Coherence Scale-13 (SOC-13) were used for questionnaire survey. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the categories of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women, and analyzed differences of SOC-13 scores among women with different categories of fear of childbirth.Results:Fear of childbirth in 304 late pregnant women was divided into three latent classes, including low-level fear group of (50.0%, 152/304), moderate-level fear group of (35.2%, 107/304), and high-level fear group of (14.8%, 45/304). ANOVA analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in total score and dimension scores of SOC-13 among late pregnancy women with three different classes of fear of childbirth ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are three latent classes of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women. The sense of coherence among pregnant women affects their fear of childbirth. Nursing staff should address the heterogeneity of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women, starting from sense of coherence, and take targeted intervention measures to reduce the fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism and pathway of Gandou Fumu decoction （GDFMD） in the development of liver fibrosis in Wilson's disease （WD）. MethodFirst， 30 TX-j mice were randomly divided into the model group， high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose GDFMD groups， and penicillamine group， with six mice in each group， and another six wild-type mice were used as the normal group. The high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose GDFMD groups were intragastrically administered drugs of 13.92， 6.96， 3.48 g·kg^-1. In the penicillamine group， 0.1 g·kg^-1 of penicillamine was given by intragastric administration. The model group and the normal group were given equal volume of normal saline， once a day， for four consecutive weeks. Samples were collected four weeks after gavage， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect type Ⅲ procollagen peptide （PCⅢ）， collagen type Ⅳ （Col Ⅳ）， hyaluronic acid （HA）， and laminin （LN）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE）， Masson， and picric acid-Sirus red collagen （Sirus Red） staining were used to observe the histopathological changes of liver fibrosis. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， immunohistochemistry， and Western blot were used to observe the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and collagen type Ⅰ （Col Ⅰ）， which were related to the activation of hepatic stellate cells （HSCs）. The expression of miR-29b-3p was observed by Real-time PCR. The expression of Unc-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1） and its downstream-related factors were observed by Western blot. The downstream genes of miR-29b-3p were verified by the dual luciferase reporter gene detection method. ResultCompared with the normal group， the four items of liver fibrosis （PCⅢ， Col Ⅳ， HA， and LN） in the model group were significantly abnormal （P<0.01）， and the pathology was significantly abnormal. The expression of HSC activation-related indicators including α-SMA and Col Ⅰ， as well as α-SMA mRNA and Col Ⅰ mRNA was up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and miR-29b-3p expression was down-regulated （P<0.01）. ULK1， p-ULK1， autophagy-related gene 13 （Atg13）， p-Atg13， Beclin-1， FAK family kinase-interacting protein of 200 kDa （FIP200）， activating molecule in BECN1-regulated autophagy protein 1 （AMBKA1）， and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ/Ⅰ（LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ） were up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. p62 protein expression was down-regulated （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the four items of liver fibrosis in the high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose GDFMD groups and the penicillamine group were significantly improve （P<0.01）， and the pathological conditions were improved. The expression of HSC activation-related indicators including α-SMA and Col Ⅰ， as well as α-SMA mRNA and Col Ⅰ mRNA was down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the expression of miR-29b-3p was up-regulated （P<0.01）. ULK1， p-ULK1， Atg13， p-Atg13， Beclin-1， FIP200， AMBKA1， and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ were down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and p62 protein expression was up-regulated （P<0.01）. The prediction software predicted that there was a binding site between miR-29b-3p and ULK1. The dual-luciferase reporter gene detection method indicated that the luciferase activity of the ULK1-WT plasmid-transfected cell group was reduced when miR-29b-3p mimics were co-cultured （P<0.01）. ConclusionGDFMD can regulate ULK1-mediated autophagy by up-regulating miR-29b-3p and further exert its anti-hepatic fibrosis effect in Wilson's disease.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of adjustable external fixation traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 27 OLT patients who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital from May 2017 to March 2022. There were 16 males and 11 females, aged (32.4±7.2) years. Lesion site: 23 medial and 4 lateral cases; Hepple staging: 7 cases at stage Ⅰ, 15 cases at stage Ⅱ, and 5 cases at stage Ⅲ; disease duration: (10.6±3.3) months. All the patients were treated by adjustable external fixation traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture. Recorded were the patients' visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores at 6 months and 12 months after surgery, levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) at 1 month after surgery, lesion area at 12 months after surgery, and incidence of complications. Results:The follow-up time for this cohort was (16.2±6.7) months. The AOFAS score was (61.52±6.75) points before surgery, (84.15±5.56) points at 6 months after surgery and (95.67±4.30) points at 12 months after surgery. The VAS score was (5.88±1.02) points before surgery, (2.12±0.48) points at 6 months after surgery and (0.66±0.36) points at 12 months after surgery. The two-by-two comparisons between the 3 time points for the above items were statistically significant ( P<0.05). IL-1 was (32.37±6.64) pg/mL, IL-6 (34.04±7.12) pg/mL, and TNF- α (17.89±4.96) ng/L at 1 month after surgery in the 27 patients, all of which were significantly lower than their preoperative levels [(96.63±14.80) pg/mL, (102.33±20.42) pg/mL, and (54.48±9.33) ng/L] ( P<0.05). The lesion area was (28.66±6.52) mm 2 at 12 months after surgery, significantly smaller than the value before surgery [(128.52±11.32) mm 2] ( P<0.05). Infection at the adjustable external fixation needle track occurred in 1 patient and lower limb thrombosis in 2 patients. Conclusion:In the treatment of OLT, adjustable external fixation and traction combined with arthroscopic microfracture can achieve satisfactory results and improve symptoms for the patients.

In recent years, the number of patients with vaginal relaxation has increased year by year, and the minimally invasive vaginal contraction has been carried out more and more widely in clinical practice, but the treatment normalization and safety have not been thoroughly studied. We summarized six cases of characteristics and treatment measures for patients with various complications after minimally invasive vaginal contraction surgery from September 2021 to December 2023 at Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The patients' age ranged from 26 to 44 years. Two cases accepted vaginal contraction with embedded vaginal thread, and four accepted vaginal contraction with acellular allogenic dermis. One patient showed vaginal hyper-tightness, one patient showed subcutaneous suture nodules, two patients showed explosion of acellular allogenic dermis, and three patients showed vaginal infection symptoms such as yellow leucorrhea and peculiar smell. All patients had sexual pain and discomfort. One patient underwent vaginal orifice dilation, one patient underwent suture extraction and secondary vaginal contraction, one patient underwent acellular allogenic dermis extraction and immediate vaginal contraction, two patients underwent acellular allogenic dermis extraction and secondary vaginal contraction, and one patient underwent secondary vaginal contraction. The symptoms of all six patients were relieved after treatment. Despite the short operation time and fast postoperative recovery of minimally invasive vaginal contraction, there are still complications after surgery, causing physical and mental damage to patients. Plastic surgeons, therefore, should be cautious in the treatment process to avoid collateral damage, so that patients get the best treatment effect.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of colonic interposition with vascular anastomosis in reconstructing the entire esophagus and hypopharynx after resection of hypopharyngeal cancer with esophageal cancer.Methods:We conducted a retrospective analysis of 4 male patients with simultaneous multiple primary cancers of the hypopharynx and esophagus, aged 47 to 58, treated in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at the Hunan Cancer Hospital from February to August 2019. All cases underwent total hypopharyngectomy and total esophagectomy, of whom, three cases presented with total laryngectomy and one case with larynx preservation. Colonic interposition was performed using the left colic artery as a pedicle, with an average colonic length of 48.5 cm. The colon was elevated through the esophageal bed to the neck, and the branch of the colonic mesenteric artery was anastomosed to one of the neck arteries, including the inferior thyroid artery in one case, the transverse cervical artery in two cases, and the superior thyroid artery in one case, and all venous anastomoses were performed with the internal jugular veins.Results:The postoperative neck and abdominal wounds healed well without anastomotic leakage, and all patients were able to resume a regular oral diet within 21-30 days postoperatively. During the follow-up of 48-52 months, two cases died due to tumor recurrence, while the remaining two cases were disease-free survivals.Conclusion:Colonic interposition with vascular anastomosis is a safe and reliable reconstruction method suitable for repairing long-segment upper digestive tract defects after resection of hypopharyngeal cancer with esophageal cancer.

Objective:To analyze the status of respiratory pathogen detection and the clinical features in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods:A prospective, multicenter study was conducted to collect clinical data, including medical history, laboratory examinations and multiplex PCR tests of children diagnosed with MPP from 4 hospitals in China between November 15 th and December 20 th, 2023. The multiplex PCR results and clinical characteristics of MPP children in different regions were analyzed. The children were divided into severe and mild groups according to the severity of the disease. Patients in the severe group were further divided into Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) alone and Multi-pathogen co-detection groups based on whether other pathogens were detected besides MP, to analyze the influence of respiratory pathogen co-detection rate on the severity of the disease. Mann-Whitney rank sum test and Chi-square test were used to compare data between independent groups. Results:A total of 298 children, 136 males and 162 females, were enrolled in this study, including 204 children in the severe group with an onset age of 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) years, and 94 children in the mild group with an onset age of 6.5 (4.0, 7.8) years. The level of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly higher (10.0 (5.0, 18.0) vs. 5.0 (5.0, 7.5) mg/L, 0.6 (0.4, 1.1) vs. 0.5 (0.3, 0.6) mg/L, 337 (286, 431) vs. 314 (271, 393) U/L, Z=2.02, 2.50, 3.05, all P<0.05), and the length of hospitalization was significantly longer in the severe group compared with those in mild group (6.0 (6.0, 7.0) vs. 5.0 (4.0, 6.0) d, Z=4.37, P<0.05). The time from onset to admission in severe MPP children was significantly shorter than that in mild MPP children (6.0 (5.0, 9.5) vs. 9.0 (7.0, 13.0) d, Z=2.23, P=0.026). All patients completed the multiplex PCR test, with 142 cases (47.7%) MPP children detected with 21 pathogens including adenovirus 25 cases (8.4%), human coronavirus 23 cases (7.7%), rhinovirus 21 cases (7.0%), Streptococcus pneumoniae 21 cases (7.0%), influenza A virus 18 cases (6.0%). The pathogens with the highest detection rates in Tianjin, Shanghai, Wenzhou and Chengdu were Staphylococcus aureus at 10.7% (8/75), adenovirus at 13.0% (10/77), adenovirus at 15.3% (9/59), and both rhinovirus and Haemophilus influenzae at 11.5% (10/87) each. The multi-pathogen co-detection rate in severe MPP children was significantly higher than that in mild MPP group (52.9% (108/204) vs. 36.2% (34/94), χ2=10.62, P=0.005). Among severe MPP children, there are 89 cases in the multi-pathogen co-detection group and 73 cases in the simple MPP group. The levels of LDH, D-dimer and neutrophil counts in the multi-pathogen co-detection group were significantly higher than those in the simple MPP group (348 (284, 422) vs. 307 (270, 358) U/L, 0.8 (0.5, 1.5) vs. 0.6 (0.4, 1.0) mg/L, 4.99 (3.66, 6.89)×10 9vs. 4.06 (2.91, 5.65)×10 9/L, Z=5.17, 4.99, 6.11, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The co-detection rate of respiratory pathogens, LDH and D-dimer in children with severe MPP were higher than those with mild MPP. Among severe MPP children the stress response of children in co-detection group was more serious than that of children with simple MPP.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of lung ultrasound in hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).Methods:In the cross-sectional study, a total of 422 children with CAP who were hospitalized in the Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children′s Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, from February 2021 to August 2022 and completed lung ultrasound examination within 48 hours after admission were enrolled. The clinical characteristics, lung ultrasound and chest CT were collected. The patients were divided into two groups according to the signs of pneumonia indicated by chest CT, and the signs of lung ultrasound with diagnostic value were screened according to the signs of pneumonia indicated by chest CT by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression. According to severity of the disease, the children were divided into the severe group and the mild group, and the differences of lung ultrasound signs between the two groups were compared. Kruskal-Wallis test, Fisher′s exact test was selected for comparison between groups. Random forest classifier wes used to evaluate the value of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of CAP and prediction of severe pneumonia in children. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the prediction effect. Use DeLong test to compare the area under the curve.Results:Among the 422 cases of CAP, there were 258 males and 164 females, and the age of onset was 2.8 (1.3, 4.3) years. The confluent B-line, consolidation and pleural effusion detected by lung ultrasound were 309 cases (73.2%), 232 cases (55.0%) and 16 cases (3.8%), respectively, and the size of consolidation was 3.0 (0, 11.0) mm. One hundred and ten children (26.1%) with CAP completed chest CT. There were 90 cases with signs of pneumonia in chest CT and 20 cases without signs of pneumonia. Lasso was used for feature selection.Lung consolidation ( OR=2.46), bilateral lung consolidation ( OR=1.16) and confluent B-line ( OR=1.34) were the main index. With random forest classifier, the accuracy of models using full variables and Lasso-selected variables were 0.79 (95% CI 0.70-0.86) and 0.79 (95% CI 0.70-0.86), the sensitivity were 0.81 and 0.81, and the specificity were 0.75 and 0.70, and the area under curve were 0.87 (95% CI 0.81-0.94, P<0.001) and 0.84 (95% CI 0.76-0.91, P<0.001), respectively. There were 97 cases in severe group and 325 cases in mild group. Compared with the mild group, the detection rate of consolidation, multiple consolidation, the size of consolidation and the size of consolidation was adjusted by body surface area (consolidation size/body surface area) in severe group were higher (66 cases (68.0%) vs. 166 cases (51.1%), 42 cases (43.3%) vs. 93 cases (28.6%), 8.0 (0, 17.0) vs. 1.0 (0, 9.0) mm, 12.5 (0, 24.6) vs. 2.1 (0, 17.6), χ2=8.59, 9.98, Z=14.40, 12.79, all P<0.05). Using lung ultrasound lung consolidation size and consolidation size/body surface area to predict the severe CAP, the optimal cut-off value were 6.7 mm and 10.2, the accuracy was 0.80 (95% CI 0.75-0.83) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.86-0.92), the sensitivity was 0.99 and 0.99, the specificity was 0.14 and 0.56, respectively, and the area under the curve was 0.66 (95% CI 0.60-0.72, P<0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.70-0.83, P<0.001), respectively. The area under the curve of consolidation size/body surface area was higher than that of consolidation size ( Z=5.50, P<0.001). Conclusions:Consolidation and confluent B-line, are important index for lung ultrasound diagnosis of CAP in children. The actual consolidation size adjusted by body surface area is superior to the size of consolidation in predicting severe CAP.
