Objective To investigate the epidemic features and pathogen spectrum distribution of diarrhea cases in Minhang District of Shanghai City so as to provide scientific evidence for developing prevention and control measures. Methods Surveillance on diarrhea was conducted in sentinel hospitals in Minghang District from 2018 to 2020. According to the quantity of outpatients in the monitoring hospital, the stool samples were collected by systematic sampling method according to the fixed interval proportion in the case queue which met the requirements of the monitored cases, and the pathogenic composition and epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. Results Among the 721 samples detected , 307(42.58%) were pathogen positive, The main positive bacteria was Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which accounted for 36.11%(39/108) among all positive bacteria.The main positive virus was norovirus GII, which accounted for 24.43%(75/307) among all positive virus. Positive cases were detected among all age groups. 81 positive cases (26.38%) were detected among 31-40 years old, with the highest detection rate. There was no difference in the positive detection rate between genders(χ²= 1.95, P = 0.16). The positive cases showed two peaks during the season of winter and spring. The positive rate of bacteria was highest in the third quarter and positive rate of viruses was highest in the first quarter. The mixed infection rate of bacteria and viruses was highest in the second quarter. Conclusions Diarrhea cases in Minhang District of Shanghai from 2018 to 2020 is caused by a variety of pathogens and related seasonality is obvious in Minghang District, Shanghai City in 2018-2020. It is necessary to take specific prevention based on various pathogens to reduce the incidence of diarrhea.

Objective:To explore the role of mechanical hemodynamic support (MHS) in mapping and catheter ablation of patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT), report single-center experience in a cohort of consecutive patients receiving VT ablation during MHS therapy, and provide evidence-based medical evidence for clinical practice.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with hemodynamically unstable VT who underwent catheter ablation with MHS at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University between August 2021 and December 2023 were included. Patients were divided into rescue group and preventive group according to the purpose of treatment. Their demographic data, periprocedural details, and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 15 patients with hemodynamically unstable VT were included (8 patients in the rescue group and 7 patients in the preventive group). The acute procedure was successful in all patients. One patient in the rescue group had surgical left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, remaining 14 patients received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for circulation support. ECMO decannulation was performed in 12 patients due to clinical and hemodynamic stability, of which 6 patients were decannulation immediately after surgery and the remaining patients were decannulation at 2.0 (2.5) d after surgery. Two patients in the rescue group died during the index admission due to refractory heart failure and cerebral hemorrhage. During a median follow-up of 30 d (1 d to 12 months), one patient with LVAD had one episode of ventricular fibrillation at 6 months after discharge, and no further episodes of ventricular fibrillation and/or VT occurred after treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs. No malignant ventricular arrhythmia occurred in the remaining 12 patients who were followed up.Conclusions:MHS contributes to the successful completion of mapping and catheter ablation in patients with hemodynamically unstable VT, providing desirable hemodynamic status for emergency and elective conditions.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of recombinant human prourokinase during emergency coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute inferior wall ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) without reflow or slow blood flow.Methods Eighty patients with acute inferior wall STEMI admitted to Xinyi People's Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected.The patients were divided into two groups,40 cases in each group.The control group patients accepted PCI after receiving 100μg nitroglycerin or nitroprusside via catheter;On the basis of control group,the observation group patients received 20mg recombinant human prourokinase via catheter until infarct related artery,and PCI was performed.Using thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) blood flow grading method,compared the immediate myocardial perfusion after surgery.Results Comparison of immediate TIMI blood flow grading between two groups of patients during surgery,with grades ranging from level 0 to 1:1 case (2.5％) in observation group and 7 cases (17.5％) in control group.The difference between two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05);Level 2:3 cases (7.5％) in observation group and 8 cases (20.0％) in control group.There was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P>0.05);Level 3:36 cases (90.0％) in observation group and 25 cases (62.5％) in control group.The difference between two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Recombinant human prourokinase can effectively improve the coronary blood flow of infarct related artery during emergency PCI in patients with acute inferior wall STEMI,improve myocardial ischemia,and do not increase adverse reactions such as bleeding,which is of great significance for improving patient's prognosis.

Objective:This study aims to develop a validated instrument for assessing the degree of integration perceived by patients in the services provided by general practitioner(GP)teams,and to evaluate the current state of integrated medical-prevention services.Methods:The survey tool was initially created through a review of existing literature and semi-structured interviews.It was subsequently refined and enhanced following consultations with experts.The utility of the instrument was confirmed through empirical research,which also facilitated an analysis of the status quo regarding the integration of medical and prevention services.Results:The devised instrument encompasses 18 items distributed across six dimensions:service comprehensiveness,service continuity,depth of service,continuity of relationship,patient-centricity,and service coordination.The cumulative score reflecting patients'perception of the integration level in GP teams'medical-prevention services was 54.30±12.45.Conclusion:The survey instrument developed in this research is characterized by its rationality,novelty,and practical relevance.It offers a patient-centered perspective for assessing the quality of integrated medical and prevention services for primary chronic diseases.While the overall perception of integration among patients is positive,there is a notable deficiency in the depth of services provided.There is a need for optimization of the service process,clarification of the service path,refinement of service management,and development of an integrated incentive mechanism for medical and preventive care,aiming for a deeper integration between medical services and preventive care.
