Objective: To investigate the factors influencing the co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia, so as to provide a data foundation and theoretical basis for developing targeted intervention measures. Methods: In September and October 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 139 102 students from 539 schools across 12 leagues/cities and 103 banners/counties in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Participants who were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by a doctor at least once within one year and had a body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m 2 were considered to have comorbid conditions. Results: The coprevalence rate of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia was 6.4% (8 931 cases). Lasso-Logistic regression revealed that nonboarding status, higher maternal education, consuming high protein foods ≥1 time daily, occasionally or never eating breakfast, engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity for ≥60 minutes on fewer than half of holidays, and having been exposed to second hand smoke in person within the past seven days were associated with higher odds ratios for co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity( OR = 1.23 , 1.22-1.63, 1.20, 1.19, 1.38, 1.35); being female, higher grade level, residence in flag/county/district areas, non only child status, never having consumed a full glass of alcohol, non hypertensive status, and households without pets were associated with lower co-prevalence risks ( OR =0.65, 0.67-0.77, 0.81, 0.87, 0.73, 0.41, 0.68) (all P <0.05). The ROC curve indicated an area under the curve of 0.64 for the predictive model, demonstrating satisfactory discriminatory ability. The calibration curve showed consistency between predicted and actual occurrence probabilities. Conclusions The co-prevalence of allergic rhinitis and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia is closely associated with demographic characteristics, dietary behaviours, and lifestyle habits. Future prevention and control strategies should prioritize these factors to implement targeted interventions.

OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the compatibility stability of commonly used intravenous antibiotics in the intensive care unit （ICU）， and to provide evidence-based support for rational clinical drug use. METHODS Medication data from the ICU of Hebei General Hospital between January and December 2024 were extracted from the Prescription Automatic Screening System. Commonly used intravenous antibiotics and other intravenous drugs in the ICU were selected through consultations with critical care and pharmacy experts in Hebei province， drug package inserts and compatibility information retrieved from Micromedex， Trissel’s Injectable Drug Handbook and PubMed. The physicochemical stability of drug combinations was analyzed. In addition， Cytoscape 3.10.2 software was used to construct a drug compatibility network for identifying high-risk drugs. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS A total of 904 pairwise drug combinations involving 16 antibacterial agents and 65 intravenous drugs were collected. Among them， 549 combinations （60.7%） were compatible， 88 combinations （9.7%） were incompatible， 82 combinations （9.1%） had conflicting evidence， and 185 combinations （20.5%） lacked valid data support. High-risk combination drugs primarily involved Amphotericin B for injection， Ceftazidime for injection， Imipenem-cilastatin for injection， Ceftriaxone sodium for injection， Vancomycin hydrochloride for injection， etc. The main risk factors for drug-drug incompatibility included drug concentration， temperature， mixing rate， pH， and chemical structure. In clinical practice， drugs and diluents should be selected rationally based on specific compatibility data， and research and monitoring of drug compatibility should be further strengthened.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease predominantly affecting the elderly and is characterized by cartilage degradation, synovitis, and subchondral bone sclerosis. Despite its widespread occurrence, no effective pharmacological interventions currently exist to halt or reverse disease progression. Polyphenolic compounds, a diverse class of plant-derived substances, have attracted considerable attention for their potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the multifaceted roles of polyphenols in OA. Specifically, polyphenols protect chondrocytes and preserve the extracellular matrix by mitigating oxidative stress, suppressing inflammation, regulating autophagy and cholesterol metabolism, and inhibiting programmed cell death pathways, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. Furthermore, they exert protective effects on synovial tissue by regulating macrophage polarization and inhibiting pathogenic fibroblast activation, while also contributing to the maintenance of subchondral bone homeostasis. Recent progress in nanotechnology-based delivery systems, designed to overcome the poor solubility and limited bioavailability of polyphenols, is also highlighted. Collectively, this review integrates mechanistic insights with emerging therapeutic strategies, underscoring the potential of polyphenolic compounds as disease-modifying agents for OA.

Objective:To study the effect of preoperative pancreatic duct stent placement in enucleation (EN) of pancreatic tumor adjacent to the main pancreatic duct (MPD).Methods:Clinical data of 56 patients with benign or borderline pancreatic tumor adjacent to the MPD undergoing EN in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2022 to September 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 25 males and 31 females, aged (32.0±5.5) years. Among the patients, 35 (62.5%) were solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, 15 (26.8%) were neuroendocrine tumor, and 6 (10.7%) were serous cystic tumor. According to whether the pancreatic duct stent was placed through encoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography preoperatively, patients were divided into the stent group ( n=20, observation group) and no-stent group ( n=36, control group). The operation time, intraoperative pancreatic duct injury, tumor enucleation time and blood loss, grade B/C pancreatic fistula and postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients underwent EN successfully. The operation time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group [150.0 (143.5, 159.0) vs 158.0 (150.0, 180.0) min, Z=-2.08, P=0.031], and the rate of intraoperative MPD injury in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [10.0% (2/20) vs 38.9% (14/36), χ2=5.26, P=0.022]. The tumor enucleation time and blood loss were comparable between the two groups (both P>0.05). The rate of postoperative grade B/C pancreatic fistula in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [15.0% (3/20) vs 41.7% (15/36), χ2=4.19, P=0.041], and the postoperative hospital stay was also shorter in the observation group [(7.9±1.6) vs (9.3±2.1) d, t=-2.57, P=0.014]. Conclusion:Under the premise of matured endoscopic operation, preoperative pancreatic duct stent placement through ERCP in the EN of pancreatic tumor adjacent to the MPD can protect the MPD during operation, reduce the occurrence of postoperative grade B/C pancreatic fistula, and shorten the postoperative hospital stay.

Objective To explore the barriers of implementing collaborative chronic wound management within medical consortium and provide references for ensuring continuous care for chronic wound patients.Methods Using purposive and snowball sampling methods,14 specialist nurses participating in chronic wound collaborative management across medical consortium in 7 provinces/municipalities(Beijing,Shanghai,Zhejiang,Sichuan,etc.)were selected for semi-structured interviews between December 2023 and January 2024.Data were analyzed via content analysis.Results Totally 4 themes and 8 subthemes were identified,including management and organizational level(the management system needs improvement;the function of medical information mutual recognition has not been fully realized),resource and technology level(there are insufficient nursing resources at the grassroots hospitals;the specialized nursing capabilities of wound nurses at grassroots hospitals need to be enhanced),patient and demand level(patients' trust is insufficient;patients' concepts are rigid),information technology and support level(the informatization construction of grassroots hospitals lags behind;the intelligence of information systems is insufficient).Conclusion Wound specialist nurses encounter various difficulties when participating in the coordinated management of chronic wounds within the medical consortium.The management and organizational system constraints hinder the effectiveness of the nursing coordination;the resource and technology gap affects the implementation of graded wound care in the region;the lack of patient trust and misconceptions intensify the resistance to coordination;the lagging in information technology construction limits the innovative development of nursing coordination.

Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur are common hip fractures in the elderly. Their treatment goals include reducing incidence of complications, improving quality of life and increasing survival rate for the patients. Compared with traditional internal fixation, hip arthroplasty shows certain advantages in the primary treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur and the revision following failure of internal fixation. It enables patients to do early weight-bearing activities to effectively improve their joint function, and reduces the risk of complications associated with long-term bed rest. However, at present, there has been no unified consensus in the academic community regarding the treatment plan of hip arthroplasty for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur. This paper mainly reviews the research progress in such aspects as indications of hip arthroplasty for primary intertrochanteric fractures of the femur and for revision after failure of internal fixation, anatomical and biomechanical characteristics of the femoral trochanter, principles for selection of types and models of joint prosthesis, key operative techniques like intraoperative fixation of bone fragments and prosthesis implantation, and methods of peri-operative comprehensive assessment.

Objective:To establish a protocol for virus isolation using the mixed method, and evaluate the efficacy of the suspended method and the mixed method in isolating herpes simplex virus (HSV).Methods:Simulated HSV-infected clinical samples were prepared using HSV-1 F strain and CDC-P1 strain. Both the suspended method and the mixed method were used to isolate HSV-1 from these samples. The virus isolation efficiency of the mixed method under various conditions was assessed. These conditions included different multiplicity of infection (MOI), cell seeding densities, and virus adsorption times.The 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID 50) assay was used for the assessment. The positive rates of virus detection under low viral load conditions were compared between the two methods. Results:Under the conditions of a MOI of 0.005, a virus adsorption time of 15 min, and a cell seeding density of 1×10 6 cell/ml, the mixed method achieved effective isolation of HSV-1. When the virus titer of the sample was 100 TCID 50/ml, the positivity rate of the mixed method reached 100.0%, while the positivity rates of the suspended method were 50.7% (38/75) and 52.0% (39/75) after cultured for 72 h and 96 h, respectively. When the virus titer of the sample was 10 TCID 50/ml, the positivity rate of the mixed method was 100.0%, while the positivity rate of the suspension method was 0. Conclusions:The mixed method exhibits significantly higher efficiency in HSV isolation compared with the suspended method. Under the conditions of high viral load, both the suspended method and the mixed method can be effective in isolating HSV-1. For clinical samples with low viral loads, the mixed method has greater applicability.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence trends of different types of elevated blood pressure and their association with nutritional status among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia from 2019 to 2024, providing references for targeted prevention strategies. Methods: From September 2019 to 2024, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 12 primary and secondary schools from each league city in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. A total of 177 108, 137 758, 190 182, 180 084 , 188 056, 180 351 primary and secondary school students (excluding grades one to three of primary school) were included for physical examination. The correlation between their nutritional status and high blood pressure was analyzed based on the basic situation of 129 821 primary and secondary school students who completed a questionnaire survey at the same time in 2024. Statistical analysis was conducted using a Chi-square test and multiple Logistic regression model. Results: From 2019 to 2024, the detection rates of elevated blood pressure were 13.60%, 13.68%, 17.60%, 17.24%, 14.77% and 15.96%, respectively. The rates for isolated systolic hypertension were 4.24%, 5.83%, 7.26%, 7.19%, 6.24% and 6.93%; isolated diastolic hypertension rates were 6.38%, 4.99%, 6.23 %, 6.41%, 5.39% and 5.66%; and combined systolic and diastolic hypertension rates were 2.97%, 2.86%, 4.11%, 3.65%, 3.14 % and 3.36%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that girls, junior high school, senior high school, overweight, and obesity were positively associated with elevated blood pressure risk ( OR =1.27, 1.25, 1.32, 1.66, 3.07, all P <0.05); conversely, county residence, Mongolian ethnicity, and other ethnicities showed negative associations ( OR =0.90, 0.93, 0.90, all P <0.05). Conclusions Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are closely related to various types of elevated blood pressure. Prevention strategies should prioritize effectively controlling weight issues among children and adolescents, thereby effectively reducing the incidence of elevated blood pressure.

Objective:To explore the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) combined with portal vein system resection and reconstruction.Methods:The clinical data of 26 patients with pancreatic head cancer or distal bile duct malignant tumors who underwent reconstructive LPD combined with portal vein resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 13 males and 13 females, aged 63.0 (57.2, 66.0) years. The clinical data of the patients, including the operation time, intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion, blood flow interruption time, postoperative complications, intensive care unit (ICU) admission time, and hospital stay were recorded.Results:All 26 patients had completed the operation successfully. The operation time was (483.65±118.00) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 1 100 (625, 2 750) ml, the intraoperative blood transfusion was 600 (438, 1 050) ml, and the portal vein system blockade time was (35.00±6.00) min. There were 5 cases (19.2%, 5/26) with laparotomy, 5 cases (19.2%%, 5/26) with repair after partial resection of the portal vein system, 12 cases (46.1%, 12/26) with end-to-end anastomosis of the portal venous system, and 9 cases (34.6%, 9/26) with artificial vascular replacement. There was 1 case of grade B pancreatic fistula (3.8%, 1/26), 3 cases of bile leakage (11.5%, 3/26), 1 case of gastric paralysis (3.8%, 1/26), 3 cases of intestinal obstruction (11.5%, 3/26), 2 cases of abdominal infection (7.7%, 2/26), 2 cases of postoperative bleeding (7.7%, 2/26), 1 case of secondary surgery (3.8%, 1/26), and 1 case of perioperative death (3.8%, 1/26). The postoperative hospital stay was 14.00 (12.00, 20.75) d, the ICU length of stay was 3.0 (1.0, 6.5) d, the tumor length diameter was 4.00 (3.00, 5.38) cm, and the number of positive lymph nodes was 1.0(0.5, 3.5).Conclusion:LPD reconstructed with portal system resection is a safe and effective treatment of patients with pancreatic head cancer or distal bile duct malignancy.

Objective:To compare the outcomes of multiple scales, primarily the speech, spatial, and other qualities of hearing scale for parents（SSQ-P）, in children with ipsilateral vs. Contralateral cochleareimplantat ion（CRI）. Methods: A total of 69 children who received cochlear implantation surgery from April 1999 to June 2024 were included. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether the implantation was on the same side. General information such as gender, age, age at initial implantation and reimplantation was collected. The primary caregivers of the children were followed up by telephone using the categories of auditory performance（CAP）, speech intelligibility rating（SIR）, and SSQ-P questionnaires. Statistical methods including stepwise regression, linear regression, and permutation tests were employed to investigate if there were any statistically significant differences in the scores of CAP, SIR, SSQ-P total, SSQ-P speech perception, SSQ-P spatial hearing, and SSQ-P auditory quality dimensions between the ipsilateral and contralateral reimplantation groups. Results:Of the 69 children included, 62 were in the ipsilateral reimplantation group with a mean age of 11.1 years, and 7 were in the contralateral reimplantation group with a mean age of 11.7 years. Statistical analysis showed that patients in the contralateral reimplantation group had significantly lower SSQ-P total scores （P<0.05） and spatial hearing dimension scores （P<0.05） than those in the ipsilateral reimplantation group after controlling for the corresponding confounders. Conclusion:The effect of ipsilateral reimplantation of cochlear implants is superior to that of contralateral reimplantation in terms of overall auditory function and spatial hearing in daily life for children, but the mechanisms require further investigation.
