【Objective】 To investigate the resource allocation status of blood testing laboratories in 14 blood stations in Gansu Province, explore the impact of differences in basic conditions on the comprehensive testing ability of laboratories, so as to promote the homogenization and standardization of blood screening capacity in blood stations in Gansu and improve blood safety and effectivenes. 【Methods】 An evaluation index system of laboratory resource allocation was constructed and a question-naire was designed. The data of human resources, infrastructure and key equipment of 14 blood stations were collected. The entropy weight -TOPSIS method was used to evaluate and rank the resource allocation of 14 blood stations. 【Results】 In the comprehensive evaluation of blood testing laboratory resource allocation in 14 blood stations in Gansu, the top three were laboratories A, B and I, and the last three were laboratories G, M and J. On the whole, the main issue was unreasonable structure of human resources: most laboratories had unreasonable age structure; except for Laboratory A, there was no personnel with bachelor's degree or above in laboratories; most laboratories had not established a team with intermediate professional titles. In terms of infrastructure, the size of seven laboratories could not meet the needs of modern laboratory testing, and all eight blood stations had no spare nucleic acid laboratories nor a mutual spare laboratory with other blood stations As for the key equipment, 5 laboratories had no automatic blood grouping diagnostic instrument, 5 laboratories only had one set of enzyme immunoassay detection system, 3 laboratories had no spare equipment for the key equipment, which means if the equipment failure could not be repaired in time, the release of results would be affected. 【Conclusion】 There were significant differences in human resources, infrastructure and key equipment of blood testing laboratories in 14 blood stations in Gansu, which had a great impact on laboratory testing capacity and subsequent development. It is suggested that governments at all levels and health administrative departments optimize the input of laboratory resource allocation according to the blood collection volume of blood stations to gradually narrow the differences in resource distribution between different regions, improve the degree of laboratory automation and optimize the personnel structure, so as to build high-quality and efficient blood testing laboratories and ensure the safety of clinical blood use.

ObjectiveTo determine the trend in diabetes-related death and probability of premature mortality among residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai and provide evidence for the formulation of relevant intervention strategies. MethodsMortality and demographic data were collected among residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2002 to 2020. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square test with SPSS 21.0 and Excel 2010. Joinpoint regression was used to determine annual percent change (APC). The mortality was standardized by utilizing the world standard population in 2000. ResultsA total of 25 091 cases of diabetes-related deaths were reported in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2020. The average annual crude mortality of diabetes-related diseases was 122.10/105, which was 116.13/105 in males and 128.23/105 in females. The difference between males and females in crude mortality was statistically significant (P<0.05). Moreover, primary causes of diabetes-related deaths were diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and tumors. Among diabetic deaths, peripheral circulatory complications accounted for 50.79%, followed by renal complications (16.05%). The crude mortality in males, females, and total of diabetes-related diseases showed an upward trend, while the standardized mortality remained stable with an upward trend in male and a downward trend in female. Furthermore, the crude mortality in males, females, and total of diabetes complicated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases showed an increasing trend. In contrast, both the standardized mortality in males and in total showed an increasing trend, while that in females remained stable. The overall crude mortality of diabetes was on the rise, which was increasing in males and stable in females. The overall standard mortality of diabetes was on the decline, which was increasing in males while declining in females. In addition, the probability of premature mortality caused by diabetes-related diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases complicated with diabetes, and diabetes decreased from 2002 to 2020 with no statistical significance. Males showed an upward trend while females showed a downward trend. ConclusionThe mortality of diabetes-related diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases complicated with diabetes, and diabetes among residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai is on the rise. Similarly, standardized mortality and probability of premature mortality in males for all three diseases are also on the rise. It warrants more attention to the health of male diabetes patients and targeted measures to reduce the disease burden.

In November 2019, we received and treated a patient with MTSCC of the left kidney. The tumor was located at the upper pole of the left kidney, with a size of 23.3 cm×18.0 cm×21.8 cm. She underwent transperitoneal radical nephrectomy. There was no local recurrence or distant metastasis during the follow-up of 3 years and 2 months. MTSCC of the kidney is a rare subtype of renal carcinoma, with slower disease progression, a clear and smooth rim, and fewer invasion or metastasis. Its final diagnosis should depend on pathology examination. Surgical treatment is the only effective intervention for this disease at present.

Objective:To compare the consistency of preoperative frailty assessment in elderly colorectal cancer patients using Frailty Phenotype (FP), FRAIL Scale (FS), Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), and Edmonton Frailty Scale (EFS), and their predictive performance in predicting the postoperative complication, so as to provide reference for nurses to choose appropriate frailty assessment tools.Methods:From December 2020 to October 2021, 207 elderly patients who underwent radical surgery for colorectal cancer at the General Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. FP, FS, CFS, and EFS were used to assess patients' frailty. Taking postoperative complications as the outcome indicator, the predictive performance of four frailty assessment tools was compared using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Bayes discriminant analysis.Results:The frailty detection rates of FP, FS, CFS, and EFS in 207 elderly colorectal cancer patients were 19.8% (41/207), 11.6% (24/207), 22.2% (46/207), and 10.1% (21/207), respectively. The areas under the ROC curves of FP, FS, CFS, and EFS were 0.714, 0.643, 0.737, and 0.665, respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01). Pairwise comparison found that there were statistically significant differences in the area under the ROC curve between FP and FS, FS and CFS, CFS and EFS ( P<0.05). The cross validation accuracy of FP, FS, CFS and EFS in predicting the postoperative complication in elderly colorectal cancer patients was 78.7%, 68.6%, 76.3%, and 75.8%, respectively. Conclusions:FP and CFS have moderate predictive performance for postoperative complications in elderly colorectal cancer patients, and there is no difference in predictive performance between the two. Both CFS and FP can be used for the assessment of preoperative frailty in elderly colorectal cancer patients, but considering clinical applicability, CFS is recommended.

Monkeypox, a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus, can be transmitted among humans. The etiology and the clinical symptoms of monkeypox are analogous to smallpox. Before 2022, monkeypox was mainly reported in central and west Africa as an endemic. Since May 2022, the outbreak of monkeypox has been reported in many non-endemic countries and regions. Now, the number of new cases of monkeypox is increasing rapidly. The pattern of monkeypox transmission is significantly different from that in previous outbreaks, and many studies have proposed the possible influence of genetic evolution on the virulence and host range of monkeypox virus in the incident. Given its similarity to smallpox, the outbreaks of monkeypox have attracted wide international attention. In order to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of specific measures of prevention and control, we reviewed the characteristics of etiology and epidemiology of monkeypox, and made primary analysis of the global epidemic of monkeypox.
