ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of elastic band three-dimensional correction therapy based on surface electromyography (sEMG) on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). MethodsFrom March, 2020 to November, 2024, 42 children with AIS in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and experimental group (n = 21). The control group received Schroth-specific exercise therapy, while the experimental group was analyzed by collecting sEMG signals to determine the three-dimensional elastic band correction training plan, for three months. Before and after treatment, the Cobb angle and the International Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire 22 (SRS-22) were used for assessment. ResultsOne case dropped out in the control group. Through the analysis of the sEMG results, the final training plan of the experimental group was determined as follows: lateral resistance on the concave side of the main curve, resistance to forward lunges on the concave side and forward flexion and internal rotation of the convex side shoulder, and convex-side knee flexion supporting gluteal bridge. After treatment, the Cobb angle decreased in the experimental group (t = 3.306, P = 0.002), and was less in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -3.102, P = 0.004). The score of mental health of SRS-22 increased in the experimental group (t = -2.161, P = 0.037), and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 2.873, P = 0.007). The satisfaction was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -4.194, P < 0.001). ConclusionsEMG can provide precise references for the formulation of exercise plans for three-dimensional correction of AIS with elastic bands, which can achieve good correction effects and treatment satisfaction.

BACKGROUND:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important treatment for malignant hematological diseases,and delayed postoperative platelet implantation is a common complication that seriously affects the quality of patient survival;however,there are no standard protocols to improve platelet implantation rates and prevent platelet implantation delays. OBJECTIVE:To compare the safety and efficacy of oral Herombopag Olamine versus subcutaneous recombinant human thrombopoietin for promoting platelet implantation in patients with malignant hematological diseases undergoing haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS:Clinical data of 163 patients with malignant hematological diseases who underwent haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 72 patients who started to subcutaneously inject recombinant human thrombopoietin at+2 days were categorized into the recombinant human thrombopoietin group;a total of 27 patients who started to orally take Herombopag Olamine at+2 days were categorized into the Herombopag Olamine group;and 64 patients who did not apply Herombopag Olamine or recombinant human thrombopoietin were categorized into the blank control group.The implantation status,incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease of degree II-IV within 100 days,1-year survival rate,1-year recurrence rate,and safety were analyzed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The average follow-up time was 52(12-87)months.The implantation time of neutrophils in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group was(12.95±3.88)days,(14.04±3.71)days,and(13.89±2.74)days,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.352);the implantation time of platelets was(15.16±6.27)days,(17.67±6.52)days,and(17.00±4.75)days,with no statistically significant difference(P=0.287).(2)The complete platelet implantation rate on day 60 was 64.06%,90.28%,and 92.59%,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).The subgroup analysis showed that the difference between the blank control group and the recombinant human thrombopoietin group was statistically significant(P<0.001),and the difference between the blank control group and the Herombopag Olamine group was statistically significant(P=0.004).The difference was not statistically significant between the recombinant human thrombopoietin group and Herombopag Olamine group(P=0.535).(3)100-day II-IV degree acute graft-versus-host disease incidence in the blank control group,recombinant human thrombopoietin group,and Herombopag Olamine group were 25.00%,30.56%,and 25.93%,respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.752).(4)The incidence of cytomegalovirus anemia,cytomegalovirus pneumonia,and hepatic function injury had no statistical difference among the three groups(P>0.05).(5)During the follow-up period,there was no thrombotic event in any of the three groups of patients.(6)The results showed that recombinant human thrombopoietin and Herombopag Olamine could improve the platelet implantation rate of malignant hematological disease patients after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,with comparable efficacy and good safety.

BackgroundIn schizophrenia， a subset of patients may progress to treatment-resistant schizophrenia owing to inadequate response to standard antipsychotic therapies， resulting in profound impairments in cognitive and social functioning alongside a cumulative burden of adverse drug reactions during the prolonged treatment. Currently， evidence supporting the use of blonanserin for treatment-resistant schizophrenia remains limited. ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of blonanserin in the treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia， so as to provide references for clinical management of this condition. MethodsA total of 43 inpatients fulfilling the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） diagnostic criteria for treatment-resistant schizophrenia were consecutively recruited from Taiyuan Psychiatric Hospital from September 2024 to January 2025. Subjects were assigned to either the study group （n=21） or the control group （n=22） using the random number table method. The study group received blonanserin at a daily dosage ranging from 8 to 24 mg， while the control group was administered amisulpride at a daily dosage from 400 to 1 200 mg. At baseline and at the end of the 4^th and 8^th week of treatment， the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale （PANSS） and the Personal and Social Performance scale （PSP） were used to access patients' psychotic symptoms and social functioning， respectively. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test （HVLT）， the Stroop Color-Word Test （SCWT）， the Trail Making Test （TMT）， the Digit Span Test （DST）， and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test （DSST）. During the treatment process， treatment-related adverse reactions were recorded between two groups. ResultsSignificant time effects were found in PANSS total scores， as well as its positive symptom， negative symptom， and general psychopathological subscale scores （F=186.505， 149.318， 135.671， 416.744， P<0.01）. The group-by-time interaction effect was significant in PANSS total scores and general psychopathological subscale scores （F=3.483， 4.318， P<0.05）. At the end of the 8^th week， the study group exhibited lower general psychopathological subscale scores and the PANSS total scores compared to the control group， with statistically significant differences （t=-2.106， -2.429， P<0.05）. Significant group effects were detected in HVLT scores， Stroop word scores and Stroop color scores （F=6.720， 7.921， 11.383， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The group-by-time interaction effect for Stroop word scores， Stroop interference scores， TMT scores and DSST scores were statistically significant （F=3.571， 4.095， 3.463， 37.000， P<0.05 or 0.01）. At the end of the 8^th week， the DSST score of the study group was higher than that of the control group （t=2.074， P<0.05）. For PSP scores， significant time effect， group effect and group-by-time interaction effect were all observed （F=433.710， 4.463， 10.491， P<0.05 or 0.01）. At the end of the 8^th week， the study group reported higher PSP score compared to the control group， with a statistically significant difference （t=3.451， P<0.05）. No significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions was exhibited between the two groups （P>0.05）. ConclusionBlonanserin demonstrates efficacy comparable to amisulpride in ameliorating positive and negative symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Notably， blonanserin exhibits a superior efficacy to amisulpride in improving general psychopathological symptoms， cognitive and social functioning， while both agents show comparable safety profiles. （www.chictr.org.cn number： ChiCTR2400094222）

Objective To analyze the status of radiation protection among non-medical radiation institutions in Henan Province. Methods A total of 673 non-medical radiation institutions in Henan Province were selected as the research subjects using the judgmental sampling method. Their basic information and occupational health management practice were investigated. A total of 131 research subjects were selected for monitoring of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation using the stratified random sampling method. Results Among the 132 institutions using baggage inspection devices, none of the associated radiation workers (1 642 individuals) had received radiation protection training, personal dose monitoring, or occupational medical examination. Besides, among the remaining 541 radiation institutions with 8 373 radiation workers, the rates of radiation protection training, personal dose monitoring, and occupational medical examination were 62.2%, 98.1%, and 80.6%, respectively. The equipping rates for radiation monitoring instruments was 76.7%, for personal dose alarm device was 63.4%, and for the personal protective equipment was approximately 63.2% among the 673 non-medical radiation institutions. And the rate of independent monitoring for occupational radioactive hazard factors in workplaces was 65.2%, the rate of commissioned monitoring was 69.8%, the rate of conducting evaluations on the current status of occupational radioactive hazard was 70.4%, and the declaration rate of occupational hazard factor was 66.7%. The ambient dose equivalent rates for X/γ rays, neutron ambient dose equivalent rates, and average surface contamination levels of α/β particles in 131 radiation institutions met the national requirements. However, in three of the five underground metal mines, radon concentration exceeded 1 000.0 Bq/m³ at some operating detection points, with the highest one reaching 4 223.0 Bq/m³. Conclusion There remains a gap between current radiation protection practice in non-medical radiation workplaces in Henan Province and the requirements of national regulations and standards. Radiation protection management and supervision should be strengthened.

Objective: To investigate the detection of natural infection with pathogens in rodents in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for risk assessment and control of rodent-borne diseases. Methods: From August to September each year during the period of 2022-2024, urban residential areas, rural residential areas, key industries, farmland and cultivated land, forests, and shrublands in various counties (districts) of Huzhou City were selected as rodent surveillance sites. Rodents were captured using the trap night method. Following anesthesia, the rodents were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Species were identified based on morphological characteristics. Under sterile conditions, dissection was performed to collect liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues. These tissues were then mixed together, and detected for Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, Leptospira, and Orientia tsutsugamushi using fluorescence quantitative PCR. The detection rates of these natural infections with pathogens were analyzed across different rodent species, counties (districts), and habitats. Results: A total of 259 rodents were captured from 2022 to 2024, including Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, Suncus murinus, Mus musculus, Leopoldamys edwardsi, Niviventer fulvescens, Rattus losea, and Apodemus agrarius. The dominant species were Rattus norvegicus (142 individuals) and Rattus tanezumi (59 individuals), collectively accounting for 77.61%. With the exception of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, and Leptospira were all detected, with detection rates of 5.02%, 1.93%, and 10.42%, respectively. Hantavirus and Leptospira were simultaneously detected in one Rattus norvegicus, yielding a mixed infection rate of 0.39%. The three pathogens were detected in rodents in Wuxing District, Nanxun District, Deqing County, Changxing County, and Anji County, with detection rates of 6.45%, 5.71%, 26.32%, 4.76%, and 24.00%, respectively. They were also detected in rodents in urban residential areas, rural residential areas, key industries, farmland, and forests, with detection rates of 28.57%, 21.57%, 10.91%, 12.50%, and 14.81%, respectively. Notably, all three pathogens were simultaneously detected in Rattus norvegicus, Rattus tanezumi, rural residential areas, and key industries. Conclusions Rattus norvegicus and Rattus tanezumi were identified as the dominant rodent species in Huzhou City. The detection of Hantavirus, Dabie bandavirus, and Leptospira, including instances of mixed infection. It is necessary to enhance surveillance and control measures targeting these key species and high-risk habitats.

BACKGROUND: Death burden of stroke is severe with over one-third rural residents in China, but there is still a lack of specific national and high-quality reports on the urban-rural differences in stroke burden, especially for subtypes. We aimed to update the understanding of urban-rural differences in stroke deaths. METHODS: This is a descriptive observational study. Data from the national mortality surveillance system, which covers 323.8 million with 605 disease surveillance points (DSPs) across all 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. All deaths from stroke as the underlying cause from 2015 to 2020 according to DSPs. Crude mortality rate and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) were estimated through DSPs. Average annual percentage change was used to explain the change in mortality rate. RESULTS: From 2015 to 2020, the majority of deaths from all stroke subtypes occurred in rural areas. There were significant differences between the changes of urban and rural ASMRs. On the whole, the changes in urban areas were evidently better, and the ASMR differences were basically expanding. Stroke ASMR in urban China decreased by 15.5%. The rural ASMR of ischemic stroke increased by 12.9%. The rural and urban ASMRs of intracerebral hemorrhage decreased by 24.9% and 27.4%, and those of subarachnoid hemorrhage decreased by 29.5% and 40.4%, respectively. The highest ASMRs of all stroke subtypes and the increasing trend of ischemic stroke ASMR make rural males the focus of stroke management. CONCLUSIONS The death burden of stroke varies greatly between urban and rural China. Rural residents face unique challenges.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of a combined model based on the radiomics features of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and MRI signs in predicting recurrence after radical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the imaging data of 100 patients with radical resection for HCC who admitted to Zibo 148 Hospital from May 2016 to May 2020.All patients underwent abdominal enhanced MRI examination before surgery,and they were followed up for at least 2 years after the surgery.They were randomly divided into training group(70 cases)and verification group(30 cases)as a ratio of 7:3.According to the postoperative follow-up results,the training group existed 12 cases of recurrence and 58 cases without recurrence,and the verification group existed 5 cases of recurrence and 25 cases without recurrence.The 3D-slicer software was used to extract radiomics features of preoperative MRI images of each HCC patient.The intra-group correlation coefficient(ICC)of the extracted imaging features of the observers was calculated.The maximum related minimum redundancy(mRMR)algorithm and LASSO regression were selected to analyze the established radiomics labels after dimensionality reduction and screening.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to screen the independent risk factors of predicting recurrence in MRI signs,and they were used respectively to construct radiomics models with the radiomics labels of plain scan,arterial phase,portal phase and hepatobiliary phase.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of each radiomics model in predicting recurrence.Results:The ICC range of two physicians in selecting radiomics features from the MRI images of all patients were between 0.903 and 0.957,which consistency was favorable(ICC≥0.9).Compared with other predictive models,the highest area under curve(AUC)values of ROC curve of the radiomics model of plain scan of training group[0.951(95%CI:0.901-1.000)]and verification group[0.968(95%CI:0.917-1.000)]were respectively 0.951 and 0.968 in predicting recurrence after radical resection for liver cancer.Conclusion:The combined model that is constructed on the basis of MRI radiomics features has favorable predictive value for the recurrence of patients after radical resection for HCC.Among of them,the radiomics model of plain scan has a certain guiding role in the clinical implementation of personalized treatment plans under the absence of enhancement,and in underdeveloped areas.
