Objective To investigate the relationship between the comorbidity of dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes and lifestyle of adult residents in Hebei Province in 2018, and to provide reference for the development of chronic diseases prevention measures. Methods Using data from the surveillance of chronic diseases and their risk factors among adults in Hebei in 2018, 7 711 permanent residents aged ≥18 years were selected as the research subjects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the comorbidity of dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes and lifestyle in adult residents. Results A total of 7 711 subjects aged ≥18 years were included in 2018. The comorbidity rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia, diabetes and dyslipidemia, and hypertension and diabetes were 16.88%, 7.91%, and 8.13%, respectively. The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 22.65%. These comorbidity rates increased with age and BMI. Multivariate logistic regression results showed that male, age, overweight/obesity, physical inactivity, daily sedentary behavior time ≥5 hours, and sleep problems were risk factors for the comorbidity of the "three highs". Conclusion The prevalence of the "three highs" comorbidities is relatively high in Hebei Province, and there are multiple common risk factors. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and implementing comprehensive prevention and control measures are the key to improving the health level of residents.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in Henan Province, and to explore their association with classroom environment, so as to provide scientific evidence for targeted prevention and control strategies. Methods: From September to October 2025, 751 schools from 158 counties/districts in Henan Province were chosen by using a stratified random cluster sampling technique. A total of 4 019 classrooms were monitored and physical examinations for 202 293 students were conducted. By matching classroom environment monitoring data with student physical examination information, Chi square test and Chi square test for trend were used for between group comparisons, and a multilevel Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between classroom environment and spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students. Results: The detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in Henan Province was 2.48% in 2025. The rate was higher in girls ( 2.65 %) compared to boys (2.32%), higher in urban students (3.23%) compared to rural students (2.01%), and higher in wasted students (3.89%) compared to non wasted students (2.39%); all differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=22.92, 298.34 , 100.84, all P <0.05). Age and school stage were associated with an increasing trend in the detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities ( χ 2 trend = 1 494.46 , 1 430.79, both P <0.05). After controlling for confounding variables like residence area, sex, and age, multilevel Logistic regression analysis revealed that non compliance with desk-chair fit standards ( OR=1.47, 95%CI = 1.22-1.78), blackboard reflectance ( OR=1.18, 95%CI =1.06-1.33), and blackboard size ( OR =1.37, 95% CI =1.21-1.55) increased the risk of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01). Conclusions There are population based differences in spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in Henan Province. The occurrence is strongly correlated with elements of the teaching environment. It is necessary to put in place comprehensive preventative and control strategies that focus on pertinent environmental elements.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of local injection of triamcinolone acetonide acetate combined with ultra-pulsed CO 2 fractional laser in the treatment of hypertrophic scars in children. Methods:A randomized controlled study method was used. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the subjects were selected from children with hypertrophic scars admitted to the Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from January 2022 to September 2023, and were divided into control group and experimental group using random number table method. The control group was treated with ultra-pulsed CO 2 fractional laser. The experimental group was injected with triamcinolone acetonide acetate injection at multiple points into the scar (the ratio of triamcinolone acetonide acetate injection to 2% lidocoin hydrochloride injection was 1∶1), with a distance between the points as 1 cm, and the injection dose was about 0.1 to 0.2 ml/cm 2 according to the degree of scar protrusion. The maximum dose each time was ≤40 mg. CO 2 fractional laser treatment was performed after 10 minutes of cold compress with ice bag. Scars in both groups were treated 3 times, with an interval of 2 to 3 months. Before the treatment and 6 months after the last treatment, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was performed on both groups of scars score, the total score was 0 - 15. The higher the score, the more serious the scar hyperplasia was. Six months after the last treatment, the scar treatment effects of the two groups were comprehensively evaluated and divided into 3 levels: markedly effective, effective and ineffective. The total effective rate =(markedly effective + effective) number of cases/total number of cases ×100%. Patient satisfaction was investigated 6 months after the last treatment and divided into 5 levels: very satisfied, satisfied, average, dissatisfied, and very dissatisfied. Satisfaction rate =(very satisfied + satisfied) number of cases/total number of cases ×100%. The occurrence of adverse reactions was recorded throughout the treatment process. Analysis was performed using SPSS 19.0 software. Measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD, inter-group comparisons were performed using independent samples t-test, intra-group comparisons were performed using paired t-test, counting data were expressed as examples and percentages, and comparisons between the two groups were performed using χ2 test. P<0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant. Results:A total of 82 children with hypertrophic scars were included, 33 males and 49 females, aged 1 to 15 years old, with an area of 5 to 45 cm 2. The pathogenic factors were trauma, burns, and surgery. The course of disease was 2 to 30 months. Among them, 41 patients in the control group, 16 males and 25 females; the age was (5.8±1.6) years; 41 patients in the experimental group, 17 males and 24 females, the age was (5.6±1.5) years. There were no significant differences in age, gender, scar area, pathogenic factors and course of disease between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VSS scores between the experimental group and the control group before the treatment [(9.42±1.35) points vs. (9.06±1.57) points, P>0.05]. Six months after the last treatment, there was a significant difference in VSS scores between the experimental group and the control group [(4.12±0.56) points vs. (5.50±0.75) points, P<0.01]. The VSS scores of children in both groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment ( P<0.01). Six months after the last treatment, the comprehensive evaluation result showed that the total effective rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [92.7%(38/41) vs. 75.6%(31/41), P<0.05]. Six months after the last treatment, the patient satisfaction survey showed that the satisfaction rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [87.8%(36/41) vs. 58.5%(24/41), P<0.01]. The main adverse reactions during treatment included edema erythema, skin ruptures, skin atrophy, and vigorous hair growth. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the experimental group and the control group [12.2%(5/41) vs. 7.3%(3/41), P>0.05]. Conclusion:Local injection of triamcinolone acetonide acetate combined with ultra-pulsed CO 2 fractional laser is more effective in treating children’s hypertrophic scars. It can significantly improve the appearance of scars, reduce clinical symptoms, with fewer adverse reactions, and high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for muscle cramps in maintenance hemodialysis patients and construct a nomogram prediction model.Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. Patients undergoing regular hemodialysis at the Blood Purification Center of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University (West and East Campuses) from June 2023 to December 2023 were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into a muscle cramps group and a non-muscle cramps group based on whether cramps occurred during or after dialysis. Patients from the West Campus were allocated to the training set, while those from the East Campus were assigned to the validation set, with an approximately 5∶1 ratio. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for muscle cramps in the training set. A nomogram prediction model was constructed using R software. Model performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis in both the training and validation sets.Results:A total of 498 maintenance hemodialysis patients were enrolled, including 409 in the training set (22.98% incidence of muscle cramps) and 89 in the validation set. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that heart failure history ( OR=8.566, 95% CI 2.448-29.979, P=0.001), pre-dialysis corrected narrowed inferior vena cava width ( OR=0.531, 95% CI 0.433-0.650, P<0.001), increased ultrafiltration rate ( OR=1.002, 95% CI 1.001-1.003, P=0.002), decreased hemoglobin level ( OR=0.971, 95% CI 0.948-0.994, P=0.014), and decreased serum albumin ( OR=0.886, 95% CI 0.799-0.982, P=0.021) were independent associated factors for muscle cramps in the training set. The nomogram model based on these factors demonstrated an area under the ROC curve ( AUC) of 0.813 (95% CI 0.760-0.866, P<0.001) in the training set, with a Brier score of 0.129, indicating stable predictive performance. In the validation set, the area under of the ROC curve was 0.821 (95% CI 0.731-0.911, P<0.001) with a Brier score of 0.142. The decision curve showed that the model provided high clinical net benefit when the risk threshold probability for muscle cramps ranged from 0.22 to 0.77. Conclusion:Combined heart failure, narrowed inferior vena cava width, increased ultrafiltration rate, and decreased hemoglobin and serum albumin levels were the independent correlated factors for muscle spasm in maintenance hemodialysis patients. The nomogram model constructed based on these risk factors holds significant clinical value for predicting muscle cramps in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Objective To explore the symptom clusters in renal transplant recipients and con-struct a concurrent symptom network to identify core symptoms.Methods A total of 343 patients with followed up after renal transplantation were selected as the study subjects.A general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Modified Transplant Symptom Occurrence and Symptom Distress Scale were employed to analyze the occurrence of symptoms in patients.In this study,only symptoms with an incidence rate greater than 20％and Spearman correlation coefficient greater than 0.40 between symptom severity and total score were retained.Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract symptom clusters with a factor loading of ≥0.45 as the criterion.The R language was utilized to construct symptom network,based on which core symptoms and bridge symptoms were identified.Results A total of 5 symptom clusters were extracted in this study:the neuro-gastrointestinal symp-tom cluster,the mood-related symptom cluster,the hormone-related symptom cluster,the energy de-ficiency symptom cluster and the vision-related symptom cluster.The core symptoms were anxiety(rs=1.75),mood swings(rs=1.50)and muscle weakness(rs=1.27).The top three symptoms in terms of bridge strength were muscle weakness(rb=0.87),lack of vitality(rb=0.66)and fa-tigue(rb=0.65).Conclusion Multiple symptoms are presented in patients after renal transplanta-tion.Based on the results of symptom network analysis,clinicians can strengthen the assessment of core symptoms and bridge symptoms to develop precise intervention strategies and improve the effectiveness of symptom management.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between oxygen consumption (VO 2), carbon dioxide production (VCO 2), and Oxygen Consumption/lactate (VO 2/Lac) with risk of death in patients with severe ARDS. Methods:A retrospective cohort study method was used, and the study subjects were hospitalized for >5 days adult patients with severe ARDS in the central intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2023. The following patients were excluded: IC test was not completed on the 4th day of ICU admission, IC test results were unreliable, mechanical ventilation duration had exceeded 48 h at the time of ICU transfer or admission, palliative care patients and pregnant and parturient women. Using indirect calorimetry to determine VO 2 and VCO 2 values on the 4th day of admission, reviewing medical records to obtain general condition, disease information, blood gas analysis (including lactate value), diagnostic and therapeutic measures, and following up deaths by telephone and time of death. The primary outcome measure was death at 90 days, and the secondary outcome measure was death at 28 days, length of stay in ICU, total length of stay, and total hospitalization cost. Cox regression analysis and linear regression analysis were used to investigate the relationship between VO 2, VCO 2, VO 2/Lac and primary and secondary outcome indexes. Results:A total of 216 patients were enrolled, 78 patients (36.1%) died and 138 patients (63.9%) survived at 90 days. After correction for confounders, the results of multifactorial Cox regression analysis suggested that compared with the Q4 group, HR (95% CI) for 90-day risk of death in the VO 2 Q1 and Q2 groups was 3.21 (1.38, 7.49) and 3.24 (1.42, 7.38), and HR (95% CI) for 90-day risk of death in the VCO 2 Q1, Q2 and Q3 groups was 5.88 (2.33, 14.84), 4.26 (1. 60, 11.34) and 3.54 (1.34, 9.35), respectively, and the HR (95% CI) for 90-day risk of death in the VO 2/Lac Q1, Q2 and Q3 groups were 8.72 (3.01, 25.25), 8.43 (2.91, 24.47) and 4.04 (1.34, 12.17) respectively. P-trends were all <0.05, indicating that VO 2, VCO 2 and VO 2/Lac were linearly and negatively associated with the risk of 90-day mortality. In addition, VO 2, VCO 2, and VO 2/Lac were negatively associated with 28-day risk of death and higher VO 2/Lac was negatively associated with length of ICU stay. Conclusions:VO 2, VCO 2 and VO 2/Lac were negatively associated with 90-day mortality risk and 28-day mortality risk in patients with severe ARDS and may be independent risk factors predicting mortality risk of such patients.
