Objective: To investigate the distribution characteristics of trichlormethane in school drinking water in Jiangsu Province, and to evaluate the health risks and influencing factors of students exposed to trichlormethane, so as to provide a scientific basis for the disinfection and safety of school drinking water. Methods: A total of 315 schools (123 primary schools, 142 junior high schools, 20 high schools, and 30 universities) in Jiangsu Province were selected by a stratified sampling method. Water samples in the wet period (from July to September) of 2023 and in the dry period (from January to March) of 2024 in each school were collected, and 630 drinking water samples were collected. According to the Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water (GB/T 5750-2023), drinking water samples were analyzed for trichlormethane, and the health risks of trichlormethane exposure in drinking water for students were assessed using the health risk assessment method recommended by US Environmental Protection Agency. The Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed to analyze concentrations and health risks of trichlormethane in school drinking water in different groups. Results: The concentration of trichlormethane in school drinking water in Jiangsu Province was 8.9 (4.6, 14.0) μg/L. The carcinogenic risk of trichlormethane in school drinking water was 9.8×10 -6 (5.3×10 -6 , 1.7×10 -5 ), which was an acceptable low risk. The amount of drinking water per unit body weight and the concentration of trichlormethane in tap water samples were important factors affecting the carcinogenic risk in drinking water for students. Comparison of carcinogenic risks exposed to trichlormethane in drinking water were as follows:primary school students in lower grades had the highest risk of carcinogenesis, with a risk of 1.2×10 -5 , the wet period (1.3×10 -5 ) >the dry period (7.6×10 -6 ), river source water (1.0×10 -5 ) >lake source water (6.8×10 -6 ), liquid chlorine disinfection (1.1×10 -5 ) > sodium hypochlorite disinfection (9.3×10 -6 ), conventional treatment (1.4×10 -5 ) > advanced treatment (9.6×10 -6 ), with statistically significant differences ( Z=88.1, 3.7 , -3.2, -2.7, P <0.05). The non carcinogenic risk of trichlormethane in school drinking water was 1.4×10 -2 for less than 1, and the non carcinogenic risk was acceptable. Conclusions The carcinogenic and non carcinogenic risks of trichlormethane in school drinking water are acceptable in Jiangsu Province, and the primary school students in lower grades are key indicators for risk management of trichlormethane in drinking water. According to the characteristics of the source water, appropriate disinfection methods and water treatment processes are selected to reduce the content of trichlormethane and control health risk.

Objective To investigate factors influencing the occurrence of early haematoma expansion(HE)in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(sICH),to develop a predictive model and evaluate its predictive efficacy.Methods A retrospective cohort of 238 patients with sICH,admitted to General Hospital of Western Theater Command between January 2017 and December 2022,was analyzed.Patients were categorized into two groups based on the criteria of HE exceeding 33%in relative volume or 6 ml in absolute volume:HE group(n=62)and non-haematoma expansion(NHE)group(n=176).Clinical characteristics,laboratory findings,Non-contrast Computed Tomography(NCCT)imaging,and Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)scores were compared between the two groups.Multifactorial logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for HE and to model the probability of its occurrence.The R language rms package was utilized to construct a nomogram model for predicting HE in sICH patients,Additionally,the related clinical,NCCT,and GCS models were constructed.The predictive efficacy of each model for HE in sICH patients was evaluated using area under Receive Operative Characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC),and the clinical application value of each model was assessed using accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,and Jordon's index.The Delong test was applied to analyze differences in the predictive values of the models.Results Significant differences in satellite sign,vortex sign,and history of anticoagulant treatment were observed between two groups(P<0.05).Multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed independent risk factors for HE in sICH patients,including the first CT examination time,homogeneity,history of anticoagulant medication,volume,maximal diameter,hypodensity sign,island sign,satellite sign,and vortex sign(P<0.05).The AUCs for the constructed clinical model,NCCT model,GCS model and nomogram model in predicting the occurrence of HE in sICH patients were 0.672,0.706,0.518 and 0.754,respectively.The nomogram model demonstrated higher accuracy,sensitivity,Jordon's index and AUC compared with those in the clinical and NCTT models.Conclusions The first CT examination time,homogeneity,history of anticoagulant treatment,volume,maximum diameter,hypodensity sign,island sign,satellite sign,and vortex sign are independent predictors of early HE in sICH patients.The nomogram model,constructed with the above parameters,demonstrated high predictive efficacy for HE and holds potential for clinical application.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety between thermal ablation combined with synchronous transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)and TACE in patients with liver metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors of different pathologic grades.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors admitted to Department of Interventional Radiology,Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University from Nov 1,2006 to Jul 31,2022.The patients were divided into synchronous ablation group and TACE group according to treatment mode and subgroups according to pathological grade.The lesions were evaluated by postoperative imaging examination.The patients were followed up until Jul 31,2023,and surgery-related complications were recorded.The endpoint of prognosis were progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS).Results A total of 86 patients with neuroendocrine tumor were collected,including 34 patients in simultaneous ablation group and 52 patients in TACE group.According to WHO classification,21 patients at G1 stage,45 patients at G2 stage and 20 patients at G3 stage were included.No serious postoperative complications occurred in all patients.The median OS was 47.0(95%CI:31.2-62.8)months in the TACE group and 56.0(95%CI:8.3-73.4)months in the synchronous ablation group,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P=0.50).The median PFS was 18.0(95%CI:6.0-30.0)months in the TACE group and 29.0(95%CI:10.0-48.0)months in the synchronous ablation group,with no statistical difference between the two groups(P=0.22).Of the 45 patients at G2 stage,27 received TACE with a median OS of 47.0 months,and 18 received synchronous ablation with a median OS of 59.0 months,and there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P=0.45).The median PFS was 12.0 months in the TACE group and 32.0 months in the synchronous ablation group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.03).Conclusion Comparing with TACE,simultaneous ablation can delay disease progression in patients with liver metastasis of neuroendocrine tumors to a certain extent and has good safety,especially for patients with liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors with intermediate or low grade.

Purpose::Under-foot impact loadings can cause serious lower limb injuries in many activities, such as automobile collisions and underbody explosions to military vehicles. The present study aims to compare the biomechanical responses of the mainstream vehicle occupant dummies with the human body lower limb model and analyze their robustness and applicability for assessing lower limb injury risk in underfoot impact loading environments.Methods::The Hybrid III model, the test device for human occupant restraint (THOR) model, and a hybrid human body model with the human active lower limb model were adopted for under-foot impact analysis regarding different impact velocities and initial lower limb postures.Results::The results show that the 2 dummy models have larger peak tibial axial force and higher sensitivity to the impact velocities and initial postures than the human lower limb model. In particular, the Hybrid III dummy model presented extremely larger peak tibial axial forces than the human lower limb model. In the case of minimal difference in tibial axial force, Hybrid III's tibial axial force (7.5 KN) is still 312.5% that of human active lower limb's (2.4 KN). Even with closer peak tibial axial force values, the biomechanical response curve shapes of the THOR model show significant differences from the human lower limb model.Conclusion::Based on the present results, the Hybrid III dummy cannot be used to evaluate the lower limb injury risk in under-foot loading environments. In contrast, potential improvement in ankle biofidelity and related soft tissues of the THOR dummy can be implemented in the future for better applicability.
