Objective To understand the situation of dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) quality control testing phantoms in radiation health technical service institutions in Guangdong province, analyze the differences among different phantoms, and provide a reference for dental CBCT quality control testing. Methods The testing phantoms of 49 radiation health technical service institutions were used as the research objects. The designated CBCT equipment was used for scanning and imaging. The Z-score method was used to evaluate the high-contrast resolution, low-contrast resolution, and distance measurement deviation of each phantom. Results The satisfaction rates of various items for the phantoms in 49 institutions ranged from 85.7% to 100%. The distance measurement deviations of four institutions were “suspicious”, and the high-contrast resolution of four institutions and the distance measurement deviation of one institution were “unsatisfactory”. Conclusion The overall performance of dental CBCT quality control testing phantoms in radiological health technical service institutions in Guangdong province is satisfactory. However, there are still some phantoms with poor results in items such as distance measurement deviation and high-contrast resolution. The structural design, material selection, and manufacturing process of the phantom may all affect the results of quality control testing. Therefore, appropriate phantoms, optimized exposure conditions, and suitable reconstruction algorithms should be used in CBCT quality control testing to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.

Objective: To analyze the institutional and regional differences in influenza vaccination for teachers and students, so as to provide a basis for influenza prevention and control in campus. Methods: Influenza vaccination data for teachers and students in Shandong Province from 2015 to 2024 were collected from Immunization Information Systems. Joinpoint regression models were used to calculate the annual percent change (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) in first-dose vaccination rates. Results: The vaccination coverages for the first dose of influenza vaccine among teachers in Shandong Province from 2015 to 2024 were 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.15%, 0.29%, 0.60%, 2.06%, 1.64%, 2.27%, 3.00%, and 2.43%, with a turning point in 2020. For preschools, primary/secondary schools, and higher education institutions, APCs during 2015-2020 were 163.36%, 162.09%, and 174.94%, respectively( P <0.01), declining to 9.53%, 9.92%, and 8.14% during 2020-2024( P >0.05). Corresponding AAPCs were 78.32%, 78.13%, and 81.61%( P <0.01). High, middle, and low GDP regions exhibited APCs of 173.84%, 162.75%, and 136.67% during 2015-2020( P <0.01) and 5.77%, 13.92%, and 11.86% during 2020-2024( P >0.05), with AAPCs of 79.42%, 81.23% , and 69.63%( P <0.01), respectively. Among students, vaccination coverage ranged from 1.59% to 7.20%. Preschool students showed no turning points, with an AAPC of 18.73%( P <0.01). Primary/secondary students had turning points in 2018 and 2022, APCs were -32.59% during 2015-2018( P <0.01), 48.45% during 2018-2022( P <0.01), and -26.25% during 2022-2024( P =0.04), yielding an AAPC of -2.32%( P =0.45). Higher education students had a turning point in 2020, with APCs of 63.27% during 2015-2020( P <0.01) and 4.31% during 2020-2024 ( P =0.77), and the AAPC was 33.79% during 2015-2024 ( P <0.01). High, middle, and low GDP regions for students showed no turning points, with AAPCs of 10.46%( P =0.18), 13.67%( P =0.01), and 10.42%( P = 0.05 ), respectively. Conclusions The influenza vaccination rate among teachers and students in Shandong Province has shown an upward trend from 2015 to 2024, but the overall level is still relatively low. However, continued efforts are needed to enhance health education on influenza and vaccination, to further improve the vaccination rate of teachers and students.

Objective:To explore the interaction effect of diabetes and obesity on recurrence or anal fistula in patients with perianal abscess after simple incision and drainage.Methods:The clinical data of 163 patients with perianal abscess who underwent simple incision and drainage from Jun. 2021 to Jun. 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The incidence of recurrence or anal fistula in 6 months after surgery was calculated. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence or anal fistula. The multiplicative and additive models were used to analyze the interaction effect of diabetes and obesity on the risk of postoperative recurrence or anal fistula.Results:In 6 months after simple incision and drainage, the incidence of recurrence or anal fistula was 28.22% (46/163). Univariate analysis results showed that gender, obesity, and diabetes were related to recurrence of perianal abscess or incidence of anal fistula ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that obesity ( OR=2.447, 95% CI: 1.320-4.538) and diabetes ( OR=2.162, 95% CI: 1.187-3.938) were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence or anal fistula ( P<0.05). Interaction effect analysis found that after adjusting for confounding factors, diabetes and obesity had additive interaction effect on the risk of postoperative recurrence or anal fistula. The relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attribution percentage (AP), and interaction effect index (S) were 1.829 (95% CI: 0.605-3.007), 0.405 (95% CI: 0.143-0.597), and 2.098 (95% CI: 1.201-3.172), respectively. There was no multiplicative interaction effect between the two ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Diabetes and obesity are independent risk factors for recurrence or anal fistula in patients with perianal abscess after simple incision and drainage. The two may have synergistic effect on the risk of postoperative recurrence or anal fistula.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps in repairing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) under a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) cooperation model.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From June 2018 to December 2022, 49 DFU patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Hand and Foot Microscopy and Wound Repair Surgery of Henan Provincial People's Hospital (People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University), including 28 males and 21 females, aged from 47 to 68 years, with type 2 diabetes history period ranging from 6 months to 21 years. Under a MDT cooperation model, the physicians from department of endocrinology comprehensively assessed the patients, stabilized the patients' general condition, and controlled their complications, the surgeons from department of vascular surgery assessed and improved the patients' lower limb blood supply, the physicians from department of infectious diseases provided anti-infection treatment plans, the physicians from department of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine assessed the patients' perioperative risk and ensured their perioperative safety, and according to the patients' condition, the physicians from departments such as cardiology, neurology, nutrition, and rehabilitation actively and timely participated in the treatment. The surgeons from department of hand and foot microscopy and wound repair surgery prepared the wound base and used free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps to repair the wounds. After once or multiple debridement in the first stage, the wound area ranged from 5.0 cm×4.5 cm to 17.0 cm×10.0 cm. After once or twice vacuum sealing drainage treatment, the free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps were used to repair the wounds with incision area of 6 cm×5 cm to 18 cm×11 cm in the second stage. The descending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery and the accompanying veins of flaps were anastomosed to the arteries and veins in the recipient sites, respectively. The wounds in the flap donor sites were sutured directly. After surgery, whether the patient's perioperative period was stable, the survival of flaps, the healing of wounds in the flap donor and recipient sites were observed. During the follow-up, the texture and appearance of flaps, whether there was a new ulcer, and the patient's walking ability were observed.Results:All the patients had stable perioperative period. Among them, the flaps in 46 patients survived successfully; the flaps in 2 patients developed complete necrosis, including 1 case whose ulcer was healed after repair of pedicled flap from the lower leg, and 1 case who underwent amputation of the lower leg; the flap in 1 patient developed partial necrosis, which was healed after dressing change and skin grafting. The wounds in the flap donor and recipient sites healed well. During the postoperative follow-up of 6-24 months, the flaps had good texture and appearance with no new ulcers, and the patients had no obvious impairment in daily walk.Conclusions:The MDT cooperation model can sufficiently ensure the perioperative safety of DFU patients. The free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps can repair the DFU wounds achieving good clinical effects with high flap survival rate and decreased amputation rate.

Objective·To systematically review the effectiveness of actigraphy on the evaluation of circadian rhythm characteristics in patients with depression.Methods·A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,CNKI,WanFang Data,and Chinese biomedical literature database(CBM),from the inception of each database to May 5th,2023.Case control studies that used actigraphy to evaluate circadian rhythms in patients with depression and compared them with healthy controls were collected.Literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and the quality of the included literature was evaluated by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.The meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software.Results·A total of 9 articles were included,including 390 patients with depression and 288 healthy controls.The meta-analysis showed that the MESOR(midline statistic of rhythm)(SMD=-0.29,95%CI-0.51 ?-0.07,P=0.009)of the circadian cosine function in patients with depression was lower than that in healthy controls;sleep onset(MD=33.06,95%CI 14.90 ? 51.23,P=0.000)and sleep offset(MD=53.80,95%CI 22.38 ? 85.23,P=0.000)were later in patients with depression than those in healthy controls;no statistical difference was found in the activity level of the most active 10 hours(SMD=-0.26,95%CI-0.52 ? 0.01,P=0.060)between patients with depression and healthy controls,although there was a trend for lower activity in patients with depression;no statistical difference was found in the acrophase(MD=25.33,95%CI-12.41 ? 63.06,P=0.190)of the circadian cosine function between patients with depression and healthy controls;no clear statistical significance of the difference was found in the amplitude(SMD=-0.14,95%CI-0.42 ? 0.14,P=0.340)and the activity level of the least active 5 hours(SMD=0.31,95%CI-0.10 ? 0.71,P=0.140)between patients with depression and healthy controls.Conclusion·Actigraphy can reflect circadian rhythm disruption in patients with depression to some extent,but the limited number of included studies and inconsistencies in the study populations and methodologies have affected the quality and results of the analyses.More high-quality clinical trials are needed to provide evidence.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with complex anal fistula, and to construct a nomogram model to predict the risk of postoperative recurrence and verify it.Methods:Clinical data of 310 patients with complex anal fistula who underwent fistulectomy in the hospital from Aug. 2019 to Mar. 2023 were retrospectively selected and divided into modeling group (93 cases) and validation group (217 cases) in a 3∶7 ratio according to system randomization method. Hospital electronic medical record system was used to collect patient baseline data and calculate the recurrence rate of patients 6 months after surgery. According to the data of the modeling group, multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence in patients with complex anal fistula. Based on the influencing factors, a nomogram model was established to predict the risk of postoperative recurrence, and external verification was performed based on the data of the validation group.Results:The recurrence rate at 6 months after operation was 20.43% (19/93) in the modeling group and 17.51% (38/217) in the validation group. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the two groups ( χ2=0.370, P=0.543) . The proportion of male, smoking history, diabetes mellitus, high anal fistula and unclear position of internal orifice in the recurrence group was higher than that in the non-recurrence group, and the body mass index and course of disease were higher than those in the non-recurrence group ( P<0.05) . Based on the above seven influencing factors, a nomogram model of the risk of recurrence of complex anal fistula after surgery was established. C index of the modeling group and the validation group was 0.984 and 0.798 respectively, the calibration curve was close to the ideal curve, and the Receiver operating characteristic AUC of the nomogram prediction model was>0.70, indicating that model consistency, prediction efficiency and differentiation were good. Conclusion:The nomogram prediction model based on gender, body mass index, smoking history, diabetes mellitus, course of disease, high anal fistula and internal orifice position can effectively predict the risk of postoperative recurrence in patients with complex anal fistula.

Objective:To study the effect of total flavonoids of Rhizoma Drynariae on learning and memory impairment mice induced by sodium nitrite. Methods:75 mice were divided into blank group, model group, Kangnaoshuai capsule group, Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids group and Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids+inhibitor group according to the random number table method, with 15 mice in each group. The Kangnaoshui Capsule group was administered with Kangnaoshui Capsule 585 mg/kg, the Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids group was administered with the Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids 97.5 mg/kg, the Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids group and the inhibitor group were administered with the Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids by intragastric administration 97.5 mg/kg, and intraperitoneal injection of 0.072 mg/kg ICI182780 for 21 days, once a day. The model was established on the 22nd day. Except for the blank group, the other mice were injected with sodium nitrite intraperitoneally to replicate the mice model with impaired learning and memory capability. The learning and memory capabilit of mice were detected with water maze method, and the estrogen receptor in hippocampus was detected by immunohistochemistry β (estrogen receptor β, ERβ). The expression of ERβ in hippocampus and the expression of phosphorylated P38 (P-P38) and the protein contents of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated death promoter (Bad) and Caspase-3 in the apoptotic system was detected by Western blot. The kit was used to detect MDA,SOD and NO protein content in hippocampus. Results:The latency of Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids group was significantly shorter than the model group, the number of crossing platform and the residence time in the target quadrant were significantly increased ( P<0.01); The expression of ERβ Protein in mice hippocampus (0.371 ± 0.010 vs. 0.124 ± 0.009), Bcl-2 protein (1.146 ± 0.028 vs. 0.726 ± 0.016) and the contents of SOD [(153.657 ± 6.385) U/mg vs. (67.719±5.845) U/mg] increased significantly ( P<0.01); The expression of P-P38/P38 protein (0.412 ± 0.043 vs.0.806 ± 0.069), Bad protein (0.421 ± 0.010 vs.0.633 ± 0.010), Caspase-3 protein (0.923 ± 0.042 vs.1.437 ± 0.033), and the content of MDA [(8.669 ± 0.662) nmol/mg vs. (11.772 ± 1.054) nmol/mg] and NO [(4.259 ± 0.225) nmol/mg vs. (10.805 ± 0.415) nmol/mg] decreased significantly ( P<0.01). In addition, ER blocker can antagonize the above recovery and improvement effects of Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids group. Conclusion:Rhizoma Drynariae total flavonoids can regulate memory impairment, inhibit neuronal apoptosis and reduce oxidative stress in sodium nitrite model mice through ER-P38/MAPK signal pathway.

With the development of nuclear energy and the wide application of ionizing radiation, more and more occupational populations and the public are exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation. Consequently, the research on human health effects of exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation, including carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects, have become a hot topic in the field of public health. The biological effects caused by low-dose ionizing radiation mainly depend on the physical property, duration, dose, and dose rate of ionizing radiation. At present, there is no consensus on the effects of long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation on human health. This article reviews the research on the health effects of long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation at home and abroad, and provides a scientific basis for research on the health effects, influence mechanism, and protection strategies of long-term exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation.

Objective:To analyze the status of first viral load (VL) suppression for newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2014 to 2016 in Shandong province, to provide theoretical evidence for improvement of ART effectiveness.Methods:Based on a retrospective cohort study, logistic regression model was used to identify influencing factors about VL suppression.Results:There were 4 833 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases who received ART from 2014 to 2016 in Shandong province, and 3 449 cases achieved VL suppression at the first VL testing. The rate of first VL suppression was 71.36%. The possibilities of first VL suppression among patients on ART with education at junior high school, junior college and above were higher than those with education at primary school and below, with OR values at 1.75 and 2.00, separately. The possibilities of first VL suppression for patients treated at medical institutions was higher than those by CDC, with OR value 1.29. The possibilities of first VL suppression among patients whose CD4 count level at 201-350, 351-500 and ≥501 cells/μl were higher than that of the patients whose CD4 count level at ≤200 cells/μl, with OR values at 2.36, 2.11 and 2.66, respectively. The possibilities of first VL suppression among patients who missed doses was lower than those who did not miss doses, with OR value at 0.55. All the Pvalues for the above comparisons was <0.05. Conclusions:The suppression of viral load for HIV/AIDS on ART was influenced by culture level, CD4 count level at the entry of ART, treatment institutions and adherence to the therapy. Earlier diagnosis, treatment services provided by medical institutions and improvement of drug adherence can enhance ART effectiveness.

Objective:To establish and apply the intervention model of professional attitude for nursing undergraduates in universities of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and to explore its effect on the professional attitude of the nursing undergraduates.Methods:The study started in August 2018 included two steps. The first step was to develop intervention model of professional attitude for nursing undergraduates in universities of TCM based on the three-stage theory of Kelman ′s attitude formation and with Delphi method. After two rounds of expert consultation, the intervention model of professional attitude for nursing undergraduates in universities of TCM was finally formed, including three intervention stages, a total of 41 intervention measurements. The second step was to use the historical control research method. Grade 2016 nursing undergraduate (the year 2016—2020) in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine was taken as the experimental group ( n=86) and adopted the intervention model. Grade 2012 nursing undergraduate (the year 2012—2016) in the same university was taken as the control group ( n=56) and did not adopted the intervention model during their university study. The two groups were continuously evaluated by "Scale for Nurse ′s Professional Attitude" during their four years in the university. The measurement time was within one week of admission and the 16th week of the second semester of each academic year, with a total of 5 times of measurement. Results:Repeated measurement design showed that the scores of Scale for Nurse′s Professional Attitude of the two groups changed with time. At the end of the first year, the score of the scale in the experimental group was (6.06±0.95) points, higher than (5.41±1.08) points of the control group ( t value was 3.765, P<0.001). There was no difference between the two groups at other time points ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The intervention model of professional attitude for nursing undergraduates in universities of TCM has good operability and can improve the professional attitude of nursing undergraduates in universities of TCM during their freshman year. The intervention model needs to be further adjusted to improve the professional attitude in the subsequent learning stage.
