Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and spatial-temporal clustering of varicella in Changchun City from 2020 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for formulating local varicella prevention and control measures.
Methods:
The individual case data of varicella were collected through the Surveillance and Reporting Management System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System in Changchun City from 2020 to 2024. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the population ,regional, and temporal distribution. Spatial autocorrelation and spatio-temporal scanning analyses were used to identify the spatial-temporal clustering characteristics.
Results:
A total of 8 850 varicella cases were reported in Changchun City from 2020 to 2024, with an average annual incidence of 19.64/105. There were 4 929 male cases and 3 921 female cases, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.26∶1. The age was mainly 0-<20 years (6 649 cases, 75.13%), and students were the predominant occupation (6 036 cases, 68.20%). The top three counties (cities, districts) with the highest number of cases were Chaoyang District (1 944 cases), Gongzhuling City (1 054 cases) and Nanguan District (987 cases), accounting for 45.03%. The peak incidence periods were from April to June and from October to December, with 2 166 and 4 226 cases, accounting for 24.47% and 47.75%, respectively. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that spatial clustering existed from 2020 to 2024. The high-high clustering areas were mainly some townships (streets) in Chaoyang District, Nanguan District, Changchun New District and Jingyue District. Spatio-temporal scanning analysis identified 6 high-risk clustering areas. The class Ⅰ clustering area was Nanhu Street in Chaoyang District, with the clustering period from September 2020 to February 2022.
Conclusions
Varicella cases in Changchun City were mainly males and students aged 0-<20 years from 2020 to 2024. The peak incidence was mainly in winter. Chaoyang District was a high-risk area, with obvious spatial-temporal clustering.

Objective:To observe the curative effect of a personalized surgical scheme based on scanning source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) image features in the treatment of congenital optic disc pit (ODP) with maculopathy (ODP-M).Methods:A prospective interventional cohort study. From September 2019 to May 2024, 15 patients with 15 eyes who were diagnosed with ODP-M by ophthalmology examination in Department of Ophthalmonogy of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included in the study. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and SS-OCT were performed in all affected eyes. Standard E word visual acuity chart was used for BCVA examination, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for record. The center retinal thickness (CRT) was measured by SS-OCT examination of macular area using VG200D of Henan SVision Imaging Technology Co., LTD. According to the morphological characteristics of ODP and the splitting, edema and detachment of macular region, combined with the degree of pulling of the boundary membrane between the posterior vitreous cortex and macular region, a personalized surgical method was designed. Class I: pars plana vitrectomy combined with macular boundary film stripping, ODP boundary film packing and vitreous cavity gas filling. Class Ⅱ: pars plana vitrectomy combined with non-retained macular boundary film stripping or ODP inner boundary film packing, vitreous cavity gas filling. Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ operations were performed in 10 and 5 eyes of 15 eyes, respectively. The postoperative follow-up time was >6 months. Follow-up time was performed with the same equipment before surgery. BCVA changes, CRT reduction rate and complications were observed. BCVA and CRT were compared before and after operation by paired sample t test. Results:There were 15 eyes in 15 cases, 4 eyes in 4 males and 11 eyes in 11 females. The age was (28.87±16.5) years. logMAR BCVA of the affected eye was 0.94±0.51. CRT was (697.80±301.80) μm. At the last follow-up, the logMAR BCVA was 0.53±0.49. CRT was (392.53±167.55) μm. Compared with before operation, BCVA and CRT were significantly improved, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.23, 3.25; P=0.006, 0.006). After surgery, transient intraocular hypertension occurred in 2 eyes, and the intraocular pressure returned to normal level after 3 to 7 days without special treatment. Two eyes underwent an unexpected second operation. Among them, one eye underwent Class Ⅰ surgery, the tunnel at ODP was closed after surgery, and there was a small amount of subretinal fluid in the macular area. Class Ⅱ surgery was performed in 1 eye with retinal reattachment. Conclusion:Personalized surgical treatment of ODP-M based on SS-OCT image features can reduce CRT and improve visual acuity.

OBJECTIVE To establish the characteristic chromatogram of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction, and preliminarily infer the main active components of volatile oil that affect the clinical therapeutic effect. METHODS The volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction was extracted by steam distillation. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) characteristic chromatograms of 15 batches of samples were established by the Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 edition), and the similarity evaluation was carried out. The volatile oil of standard decoction was identified by UPLC coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Then the volatile oil components were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS The similarities of UPLC characteristic chromatograms for volatile oil of 15 batches of Qingshang juantong decoction were between 0.949 and 0.997. A total of 12 common peaks were obtained. According to the UPLC-Q-TOF/MS, the main components were methyl eugenol, E-ligustilide, E-butylidenephthalide and so on. A total of 23 components were identified by GC-MS, which were mainly 3,4,5-trimethoxy- methylbenzene, patchouli alcohol, Z-ligustilide and so on. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic chromatograms of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction is established, and it is inferred that methyl eugenol, ligustilide, E- butylidenephthalide, patchouli alcohol, 3,4,5-trimethoxy-methylbenzene might be the main active components affecting the clinical therapeutic effect of the volatile oil of Qingshang juantong decoction.

Objective:To analyze the effects of exposure to life events and social support levels during different stages of pregnancy on low birth weight in offspring.Methods:From 2021 to 2023, pregnant women in early pregnancy who were registered with health cards in Linping District, Hangzhou City, were recruited and followed up. The Life Events Scale for Pregnant Women (LESPW) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to evaluate the exposure to life events and social support levels of pregnant women in early, middle and late pregnancy, respectively. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the impact and critical period of exposure to prenatal life events and social support levels on the risk of low birth weight in offspring.Results:A total of 3 663 pregnant women with ages M ( Q1, Q3) of 29.18 (26.59, 32.21) years were included in this study. 116 cases (3.17%) of infants with low birth weight were delivered. Generalized linear model analysis showed no correlation between the level of social support in early, middle and late pregnancy and low birth weight in offspring (all P>0.05). The risk of low birth weight in offspring of pregnant women with high exposure to early pregnancy life events was 1.78 times higher than that of the low exposure group ( RR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.13-2.73, P=0.010), and there was no association in the middle and late stages of pregnancy (both P>0.05). Pregnant women with high exposure to early life events and low levels of social support had a 2.08-fold higher risk of low birth weight in their offspring compared to the low exposure group ( RR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.17-6.78, P=0.010), while this situation was not associated with high social support stratification. Conclusion:Exposure to life events during pregnancy has an early window effect on birth weight. Increased exposure to life events during early pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of low birth weight in offspring. This association is more pronounced in pregnant women with low social support.
