Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and spatial-temporal clustering characteristics of scarlet fever in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2005 to 2023, so as to provide a reference for improving the prevention and control strategy of scarlet fever. Methods: The data of scarlet fever cases in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023 were collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, and descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of scarlet fever. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was calculated to analyze the trend of scarlet fever incidence from 2005 to 2023. The spatial-temporal clustering of scarlet fever was identified using spatial autocorrelation analysis and space-time scanning analysis. Results: A total of 1 494 scarlet fever cases were reported in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023, and the average annual reported incidence rate was 1.41/100 000, with no significant change trend (AAPC=1.706%, P>0.05). There were two incidence peaks, from April to June and from November to January of the next year. There were 937 males and 557 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.68∶1. The age was mainly <10 years (1 391 cases, 93.11%), of which 3-<7 years was the high incidence age group (936 cases, 62.65%). There were 1 466 cases of preschool children, students, and scattered children, accounting for 98.13%. The average annual reported incidence of scarlet fever in Dongyang City, Pujiang County, and Yongkang City was 4.58/100 000, 3.04/100 000, and 1.99/100 000, respectively. The spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that there was a positive spatial correlation between the incidence of scarlet fever in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023 (Moran's I=0.579, P<0.05), and the high-high clustering areas were mainly distributed in Dongyang City and Pujiang County. The spatial-temporal scanning analysis showed that there were 8 spatial-temporal clustering areas of scarlet fever in Jinhua City from 2005 to 2023. The class Ⅰ clustering area was 9 towns in Dongyang City, and the clustering period was from August 2013 to December 2022. There were 7 class Ⅱ clusters, covering some streets in Pujiang County, Dongyang City, Yongkang City, Yiwu City, and Pan'an County. Conclusions From 2005 to 2023, the incidence of scarlet fever in Jinhua City was relatively low, and children aged 3-<7 years had a high incidence, and there was a spatiotemporal clustering. The peak incidence was from April to June and from November to January of the next year. Dongyang City, Pujiang County, and Yongkang City had high incidence areas.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of leptospirosis in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, from 2007 to 2024, so as to provide a basis for improving the prevention and control strategies of leptospirosis. Methods: Data pertaining to leptospirosis cases in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024 were collected through the Monitoring and Reporting Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of leptospirosis in terms of time, region, population, interval from the onset of the disease to diagnosis and the outbreak of the epidemic. Results: A total of 81 cases of leptospirosis were reported in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024, with an average annual reported incidence of 0.08/100 000. The peak incidence occurred from August to September, with 57 cases accounting for 70.37%. Leptospirosis cases were reported in 9 counties (cities, districts) in Jinhua City. Pan'an County reported the most cases, with 52 cases accounting for 64.20%. There were 54 male cases and 27 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 2∶1. The majority of cases were aged over 40 years, with 73 cases accounting for 90.12%. The average reported incidence of leptospirosis showed an upward trend with the increase of age (P<0.05), and the highest incidence of leptospirosis was at the 60-<80 age group (0.21/100 000). The majority of patients were farmers, with 77 cases accounting for 95.06%. The median interval from onset to diagnosis was 4.00 (interquartile range, 6.00) days. There were significant differences in the interval from onset to diagnosis among cases in Dongyang City compared with Pan'an County, Wuyi County, and Wucheng District, between Pan'an County and Jindong District, Wucheng District, and between Wuyi County and Wucheng District (all P<0.05). In 2007, one outbreak of leptospirosis was reported, which occurred in Jiuhe Township, Pan'an County, with 36 reported cases. Conclusions The reported incidence of leptospirosis in Jinhua City from 2007 to 2024 is generally low. The high-incidence period is from August to September, and Pan'an County is the high-incidence area. Males over 40 years and farmers are the key populations for prevention and control. It is recommended to strengthen epidemic surveillance and health education for high-risk populations.

Objective: To investigate the value of the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) in predicting hypertension risk, so as to provide a tool for the early assessment of hypertension risk. Methods: Health examination individuals aged ≥18 years were selected from four medical institutes in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province in 2022. Data on basic information, lifestyle, disease history, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys and physical examinations. CVAI was calculated to assess levels of visceral fat accumulation, divided by quartiles into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups. The relationship between CVAI and hypertension was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model, and their dose-response relationship was examined using a restricted cubic spline model. The value of CVAI in predicting hypertension risk was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 23 791 individuals were enrolled, with a median age of 68.00 (interquartile range, 14.00) years. Among them, 10 178 (42.78%) were males and 13 613 (57.22%) were females. The median CVAI was 111.40 (interquartile range, 48.23). Hypertension was identified in 15 563 cases, with a prevalence of 65.42%. After adjusting for lifestyle, disease history, and blood biochemical indicators, the multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertension risk in the CVAI Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 2.012 (95%CI: 1.865-2.170), 3.059 (95%CI: 2.826-3.311), and 5.099 (95%CI: 4.672-5.565) times that of the Q1 group, respectively. The restricted cubic spline model revealed a non-linear relationship between CVAI and hypertension risk (Pnon linearity<0.05). Hypertension risk increased more rapidly when the CVAI was ≥81.03. The area under the ROC curve for CVAI in predicting hypertension risk was 0.691, with an optimal cutoff value of 106.01, which falls within the Q2 group. Conclusions There was a nonlinear dose-response relationship between CVAI and hypertension. CVAI can predict the risk of hypertension, and 106.01 can serve as an early warning threshold for risk screening.

Objective To evaluate drug-related problems(DRPs)and to analyze the influencing factors of patients un-dergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS)before operation in thoracic surgery.Methods Clinical pharmacists used the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe(PCNE)classification system(version 9.1)to analyze DRPs and influencing fac-tors of patients who received VATS from March 1 to May 31,2023,and had at least one comorbidity.Results Out of 300 pa-tients,174 were involved in a total of 200 DRPs.The most common category of DRPs is treatment safety(47.50％),followed by treatment effectiveness(46.00％)and others(6.50％).The most common cause of the problem is drug selection(33.83％),fol-lowed by other(33.33％)and patient cause(19.90％).367 interventions were conducted for DRPs,with the most interventions being at the drug level(55.86％),followed by the doctor level(39.24％)and the patient level(3.54％).In the end,96.00％of the intervention plan was accepted,and 86.50％of the problems were resolved.There were significant differences(P＜0.05)in the number of underlying diseases,medication varieties,body mass index(BMI),and length of hospital stay between the group with and without DRPs.The results of multivariate analysis showed that comorbidities,number of medication types,and BMI were independent risk factors for preoperative occurrence(or potential)of DRPs in VATS patients in thoracic surgery(OR＞1,P＜0.05).Conclusions Clinical pharmacists can effectively evaluate preoperative DRPs in patients undergoing VATS in thoracic surgery through the PCNE classification system.Comorbidities,number of medications,and BMI are influential factors for the oc-currence of preoperative DRPs.Future clinical practice should focus on these risk factors to optimize treatment strategies and re-duce the occurrence of DRPs.

Objective To explore the influence of disability acceptance and resilience on stigma in laryngeal carcinoma patients with permanent tracheostomy and analyze the impact path. Methods From June 2016 to August 2018, this study selected 264 laryngeal carcinoma patients with permanent tracheostomy of Inpatient and Outpatient Department in Guangxi Medical University Affiliated Tumor Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All patients were investigated with the Social Impact Scale (SIS), Acceptance of Disability Scale (AODS) and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC10). The correlations were analyzed and structure equation model was used to path analysis. A total of 264 questionnaire were sent out and 256 valid questionnaires were collected. Results Among those patients with permanent tracheostomy, the total scores of stigma, disability acceptance and resilience were (61.50±9.27), (76.88±9.34) and (26.49±4.05) respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the scores of disability acceptance and resilience had negative correlations with stigma with statistical differences (P< 0.01). Structure equation model analysis showed that disability acceptance and resilience of laryngeal carcinoma patients with permanenttracheostomy had direct effect on stigma (β=-0.43,-0.28), the indirect effect of disability acceptance on stigma by resilience was -0.06. Conclusions Laryngeal carcinoma patients with permanenttracheostomy have a high level of stigma, the disability acceptance and resilience has significant roles on stigma.
