In 2022, Hainan provincial government launched the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis with the goals of a hepatitis B screening rate of 90%, a diagnostic rate of 90%, and a treatment rate of 80% among people aged 18 years and above by the year 2025, and the main intervention measures include population-based prevention, case screening, antiviral therapy, and health management. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 6.875 million individuals in the general population had been screened for hepatitis B, with a screening rate of 95.6%. A total of 184 710 individuals with positive HBsAg were identified, among whom 156 772 were diagnosed through serological reexamination, resulting in a diagnostic rate of 84.9%. A total of 50 742 patients with chronic hepatitis B were identified, among whom 42 921 had hepatitis B-specific health records established for health management, with a file establishment rate of 84.6%. A total of 31 553 individuals received antiviral therapy, with a treatment rate of 62.2%. A total of 2.503 million individuals at a high risk of hepatitis C were screened, among whom 4 870 tested positive for HCV antibody and 3 858 underwent HCV RNA testing, resulting in a diagnostic rate of 79.2%, and 1 824 individuals with positive HCV RNA were identified, among whom 1 194 received antiviral therapy, with a treatment rate of 65.5%. In addition, 159 301 individuals with negative HBsAg and anti-HBs and an age of 20 — 40 years were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine free of charge. Through the implementation of the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis, a large number of hepatitis patients have been identified, treated, and managed in the province within a short period of time, which significantly accelerates the efforts to eliminate the crisis of viral hepatitis.

Objective:To study and screen the differential expression of inflammatory proteins in diabetes skin ulcers and common skin ulcers, so as to provide experimental basis for further research on anti-inflammatory and healing drug targets of diabetes skin ulcers.Methods:The tissues of 11 patients with diabetes skin ulcer, 12 patients with common skin ulcer and 11 patients with normal skin were collected from the First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine. The levels of inflammatory protein Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), pro-inflammatory factor interferon -γ (IFN -γ), tumor necrosis factor - α (TNF -α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), macrophage chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), anti-inflammatory factors epidermal growth factor (EGF), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were detected in three groups of tissues using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:Compared with normal tissues, the concentrations of TLR4, NF-κB, IFN -γ, TNF -α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and EGF in common ulcer skin tissues and diabetes ulcer tissues were higher, and the concentrations of IL-10 were lower, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05); Compared with the normal tissue, the concentration of IL-4 in diabetes ulcer tissue was lower, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); Compared with ordinary ulcer skin tissue, the concentrations of TLR4, NF-κB and MCP-1 in diabetes ulcer tissue were higher, and the concentrations of IL-4 were lower, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The skin ulcer in diabetes patients will have inflammatory reaction, and high glucose promotes the inflammatory reaction of skin ulcer, which may be related to the abnormal expression of TLR4, NF-κB, MCP-1 and IL-4. TLR4/NF-κB signal pathway and inflammatory factors MCP-1 and IL-4 may be the target of the inflammation regulation of diabetes skin ulcer.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):167-172
Abstract
Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of femoral neck system (FNS) and cannulated screw fixation in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in the young and middle-aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 76 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi′an Jiaotong University from March 2018 to September 2020, including 45 males and 31 females, aged 23-63 years [(49.5±8.2)years]. Garden classification of the fracture was 25 patients with type II, 34 with type III and 17 with type IV. Pauwels classification of the fracture was 16 patients with type I, 31 with type II and 29 with type III. A total of 40 patients were treated with cannulated screw fixation (cannulated screw group) and 36 patients with FNS fixation (FNS group). Operation time, frequency of fluoroscopy, length of hospital stay, weight-bearing time and bone union time were compared between the two groups. Hip function was assessed by Harris hip score at 6, 12 months after operation. The incidence of postoperative complications was observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-20 months [(15.2±1.7)months]. The frequency of fluoroscopy [(13.4±1.9)times], weight-bearing time [(11.1±1.9)weeks] and bone union time [(13.8±1.6)weeks] in FNS group were lower or shorter than those in cannulated screw group [(18.2±2.6)times, (15.7±1.6)weeks, (14.6±1.6)weeks] (all P<0.05 or 0.01). There were no significant differences in operation time, length of hospital stay and Harris hip score at 6, 12 months after operation between the two groups (all P>0.05). No postoperative infection occurred in both groups. In cannulated screw group, there were 4 patients with femoral neck shortening, 3 with deep venous thrombosis, 2 with internal fixation loosening, 2 with nail withdrawal and 1 with fracture non-union, showing the incidence of complications of 30% (12/40). In FNS group, there was 2 patients with femoral neck shortening, 1 with deep vein thrombosis and 1 with internal fixation loosening, showing the incidence of complications of 11% (4/36) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For femoral neck fracture in the young and middle-aged patients, both FNS and cannulated screw fixation can obtain satisfactory efficacy, but FNS has the advantages of decreased frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, early weight bearing, reduced time to bone union and low incidence of complications.
