Objective To analyze the trend of global cellulitis disease burden from 1990 to 2019, and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of cellulitis disease. Methods The Global Burden of Disease 2021 (GBD2021) data were collected, and data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) of cellulitis were analyzed for each country worldwide. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and age-standardized rate (ASR) were used to estimate the trend change of cellulitis from 1990 to 2021. Results The global burden of cellulitis increased significantly in 2021, with 55.96 million cases, 28.9 million deaths and 876.1 million DALYs, respectively. Incidence and mortality rates were generally higher in males than in females. The incidence and DALYs were higher in high SDI regions, with the highest burden observed in South Asia. In contrast, East Asia exhibited the lowest burden and demonstrated a declining trend. There were significant differences between countries, with India having the highest prevalence, the United States having the highest incidence, and Bahrain having the fastest growing rate.In 2021, China had the lowest age-standardised incidence of cellulitis in the world and the fastest declining age-standardised incidence and age-standardised DALYs. Conclusion The global disease burden of cellulitis is increasing from 1990-2021, and cellulitis remains an an important global public health problem. Targeted preventive meausres should be taken in areas with different economical levels. Men, middle-aged and elderly people, and newborns are the key groups in need of attention and health education.

The circadian clock is an endogenous time-keeping system that maintains physiological homeostasis by integrating environmental and genetic interactions. Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by structural abnormalities and/or functional impairment of the heart. Growing evidence suggests that core circadian components, such as BMAL1 and REV-ERBα, play important roles in modulating myocardial energy metabolism, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress, contributing to myocardial structural and metabolic remodeling during heart failure progression. Notably, circadian disruption is closely associated with heart failure, with aberrant blood pressure rhythms and disturbances in the sleep-wake cycle in patients. The time-dependent efficacy of heart failure medications further supports the potential of chronotherapy-based strategies to improve clinical outcomes. Here, we summarize the multifaceted regulatory roles of the circadian clock, particularly core clock genes, in heart failure pathogenesis, providing a theoretical framework for developing personalized chronotherapeutic strategies for heart failure management.

Objective To explore the impact of policy instruments and innovation on the informatization of rural health service system.Methods Central government policy documents related to the informatization of rural health service system,publicly released between 2009 and 2023,were collected using web crawler tools.Keyword extraction was conducted through word frequency analysis and term frequency-inverse document frequency(TF-IDF)calculation.Content analysis of policy texts was carried out from the dual perspectives of policy instruments and the policy innovation process.An exponential growth model was used to fit the evolutionary trend.Results Among the 45 central policies included,policy instruments were used 178 times in total.The demand-side policy instruments accounted for the highest proportion(71 times,39.89％),reflecting policy responsiveness to the diversified needs of rural healthcare services.The supply side policy instruments have been used a total of 51 times,with the"information system and infrastructure construction"policy instrument being the most frequently(33 times),indicating a national focus on enhancing investment in digital infrastructure and technology.In terms of the policy innovation process,policy instruments were primarily utilized during the adoption stage of policy ideas(55.06％),followed by the implementation stage(38.20％),with the initiation stage being the least influenced(6.74％).The initiation stage was relatively evenly influenced by all 3 types of policy instruments;the adoption stage was mainly influenced by demand-side instruments,while the implementation stage was dominated by supply-side instruments.This trend reflected a policy shift in recent years from value guidance toward practical operability and implementation,demonstrating alignment with the real-world needs of advancing digital technology and improving governance capacity.Conclusion Different policy instruments exhibit stage-specific effectiveness in driving informatization innovation,indicating the need to precisely align instruments with each phase of the policy innovation process to advance informatization in a targeted manner.Top-level policy documents should be refined to clearly define relevant policy concepts.Additionally,execution pathways must be detailed to accelerate infrastructure development in remote and economically disadvantaged regions.

Objective:To establish a quality control method for Aiye standard decoction.Methods:The ultra performance liquid chromatogrphy (UPLC) column Waters ACQUITY HSS T3 C18 (2.1 mm×150 mm,1.8 μm) was used to gradient elution by acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water. 16 batches of Aiye standard decoction fingerprints were established by UPLC and the common peaks were determined in the fingerprints. The contents of 12 components were determined. The 16 batches of Aiye standard decoction were analyzed by similarity calculation, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) for analysis of differential components of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from different origins.Results:A total of 13 common peaks were marked in the fingerprints of 16 batches of Aiye standard decoction, 12 of which were identified by comparison with reference substance, including chlorogenic acid, sochlorogenic acid A, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid,1,3-O-Dicaffeoylquinic acid, schaftoside, isochlorogenic acid B,1,5-O-Dicaffeoylquinic acid, isochlorogenic acid C, jaceosidin and eupatilin. Similarity evaluation, PCA and HCA all classified the 16 batches of Aiye standard decoction into 2 categories. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis screened 5 differential biomarkers from 13 common peaks. The content determination results showed that the phenolic compounds and flavonoids in samples from Hubei were significantly higher than that in samples from other areas.Conclusion:This method can effectively analyze the differences in the quality of Aiye standard decoction from different origins, and provide reference for the formulation of quality standards for Aiye standard decoction and related preparations.

Objective:To analyze the feasibility and advantages of gastric triangle suspension technique in laparoscopic radical anterograde modular pancreatiplenectomy (L-RAMPS) for patients of pancreatic body and tail malignant tumor.Methods:The clinical data of 29 patients with L-RAMPS in Li Huili Hospital of Ningbo Medical Center from January 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 14 males and 15 females, aged (67.6±7.5) years. According to whether gastric triangle suspension was used during operation, 29 patients were divided into suspension group ( n=14) and control group ( n=15). The two groups were compared with several indexes of body mass index, tumor length, postoperative pathological type, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative incision margin, intraoperative blood transfusion, pancreatic fistula, postoperative massive bleeding, postoperative gastroparesis, length of hospital stay and so on. Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, tumor length and pathological type between the two groups (all P>0.05). Postoperative pathologic findings of the 29 patients included 21 cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (72.4%), 2 cases of intraductal papillary mucinous tumors (6.9%), 2 cases of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (6.9%), 1 case of pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (3.4%), and 3 cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (10.3%). There was no significant difference in the proportion of positive first incision margin, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative B/C pancreatic fistula, postoperative massive hemorrhage and postoperative gastroparesis between the two groups (all P>0.05). The operative time and intraoperative blood loss in the suspension group were (200.3±13.5) min and (148.6±42.2) ml respectively, less than that in the control group (223.5±36.3) min and (205.3±63.3) ml, and the hospital stay in the suspension group was 14 (12, 17) d, shorter than that in the control group 26 (17, 32) d. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Gastric triangle suspension in L-RAMPS for patients of pancreatic body and tail malignant tumor can reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding, shorten the operation time and hospital stay, is a reliable and simple suspension method.

To addresses the issues of low contrast and inaccurate segmentation of tiny vessels in retinal images,a U-shaped network incorporating multi-level residuals and three-space attention mechanism is proposed.In encoding stage,a multi-level residual module is added after inputting original images for preserving image features,and additionally,batch normalization and Dropout are integrated into the residual module to prevent vanishing gradient and feature data redundancy within the deep network.In decoding stage,a three-space attention mechanism is adopted to assign different weights to the features from the original images,down-sampled images,and up-sampled images,thus enhancing feature texture and position information,and achieving precise segmentation of tiny blood vessels.Experimental results on a public color fundus image dataset demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves higher accuracy(0.985),specificity(0.991),sensitivity(0.829),and AUC(0.985)than the existing algorithms.Moreover,the vessel maps obtained by the comparison with the gold standard are of significant reference value in clinic.

To address the challenge of unclear features and difficulties in pulmonary nodule CT image detection,an efficient attention feature pyramid network is proposed.The network firstly employs a feature pyramid of multi-scale feature fusion as the backbone network for effectively preserving both low-and high-level features,and uses the depthwise separable convolutional neural network to extract feature information.Then,the attention mechanism is integrated into the backbone network for assigning weights to salient feature information.Finally,the proposed algorithm is applied to Lung-PET-CT-Dx dataset and Luna16 dataset,and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has higher precision,recall rate and mAP value than the existing comparative algorithms,substantiating its superiority in pulmonary nodule detection.

Objective:To assess the value eosin-nigrosine(E-N)staining and hypo-osmotic swelling test(HOST)in the diag-nosis of necrospermia and investigate the correlation of the degree of sperm necrosis with sperm DNA fragmentation index(DFI)and high DNA stainability(HDS).Methods:Using computer-assisted sperm analysis(CASA),we examined the sperm motility of 7 333 males seeking medical care in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hunan Province from May 2023 to July 2024,detected the sperm viability of those with asthenozoospermia by E-N staining and HOST,and measured the sperm DFI and HDS of those with necro-spermia by sperm chromatin structure assay(SCSA).Based on sperm progressive motility(PR％),we divided the asthenozoospermia patients into three groups(PR％20％-＜30％,PR％10％-＜20％and PR％＜10％),assessed the value of E-N staining and HOST in the diagnosis of necrospermia,and analyzed the correlation of the severity of sperm necrosis with sperm DFI and HDS.Results:Asthenozoospermia was diagnosed in 1 374(18.74％)of the 7 333 males.The incidence rates of necrospermia revealed by E-N staining in the mild,moderate and severe asthenozoospermia groups were 0.55％(5/913),3.80％(12/316)and 35.86％(52/145),respectively,with a total incidence of 0.94％(69/7333),while those detected by HOST were 0.99％(9/913),6.96％(22/316)and 46.21％(67/145),respectively,with a total incidence of 1.34％(98/7333).There were no statistically significant differences in the results of diagnosis between the two methods(x2=0.97,P＞0.05).Both E-N staining and HOST showed that sperm DFI in the necrospermia males was negatively correlated with sperm viability(r=-0.366,r=-0.333,P＜0.05),and so was sperm HDS,though with no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion:For males with PR％＜30％,sperm viability test should be conducted,with E-N staining as the choice of priority for the diagnosis of necrospermia.Sperm necrosis and sperm nuclear chromatin damage may be interactive risk factors.

Background:Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the gastric mucosal epithelium.OLGA/OLGIM staging systems are scoring systems for gastric mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia based on gastroscopic pathology.Serum pepsinogen(PG)and PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio(PGR)can reflect the gastric mucosal function and status.Studying the relationship between PG and OLGA/OLGIM stages and the changing trends is of great value for early screening of gastric cancer.Aims:To explore the relationship between serum PG and OLGA/OLGIM stages,and its application value in screening of early gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 188 healthy individuals underwent gastroscopy from June 2021 to June 2023 at Shanghai Health and Medical Center were selected.The serum PG level was measured,and the status of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection was evaluated.OLGA/OLGIM stages were assessed according to the findings of gastroscopic pathology,and correlated with the serum PG level.After two years of follow-up,changes of PG and PGR in subjects with different baseline OLGA/OLGIM stages were analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in PG Ⅰand PGR among subjects with various baseline OLGA/OLGIM stages(P＜0.05).OLGA/OLGIM stages were correlated with Hp infection,family history of malignant gastrointestinal tumors and spicy diet(P＜0.05).The incidences of gastric mucosal atrophy in PG Ⅰ ≤70 μg/L group and PGR≤3.0 group were significantly higher than those in PG Ⅰ＞70 μg/L group and PGR＞3.0 group,respectively(P＜0.05).The follow-up results showed that for baseline OLGA/OLGIM stage 0,PG Ⅰ showed a decreasing trend over time,while no significant change of PG Ⅰ was found in other OLGA/OLGIM stages;PG Ⅱ showed a decreasing trend while PGR showed an increasing trend over time in all stages.But all these trends were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusions:The combined detection of PG and Hp infection has important value in evaluating the severity of chronic atrophic gastritis and the risk of gastric cancer.It can be applied as an early screening project for gastric cancer in individuals undergoing physical examination.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of high energy metabolism in lung cancer patients and its correlation with body composition,nutritional status,and quality of life,and to develop a corresponding risk prediction model.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 132 primary lung cancer patients admitted to the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2022 to May 2023,and categorized into high(n=94)and low energy metabolism group(n=38)based on their metabolic status.Differences in clinical data,body composition,Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment(PG-SGA)scores,and European Organization for Research and treatment of Cancer(EORTC)Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30(QLQ-C30)scores were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for high energy metabolism in lung cancer patients,and a risk prediction model was established accordingly;the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to assess the model fit,and the ROC curve was used to test the predictive efficacy of the model.Results Of the 132 patients with primary lung cancer,94(71.2%)exhibited high energy metabolism.Compared with low energy metabolism group,patients in high-energy metabolism group had a smoking index of 400 or higher,advanced disease staging of stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ,and higher levels of IL-6 level,low adiposity index,low skeletal muscle index,and malnutrition(P<0.05),and lower levels of total protein,albumin,hemoglobin level,and prognostic nutritional index(PNI)(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in age,gender,height,weight,BMI and disease type between the two groups(P>0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking index≥400,advanced disease stage,IL-6≥3.775 ng/L,and PNI<46.43 were independent risk factors for high energy metabolism in lung cancer patients.The AUC of the ROC curve for the established prediction model of high energy metabolism in lung cancer patients was 0.834(95%CI 0.763-0.904).Conclusion The high energy metabolic risk prediction model of lung cancer patients established in this study has good fit and prediction efficiency.
