ObjectiveTo investigate the current awareness and optimization recommendations on pneumonia with unknown etiology (PUE) surveillance among Shanghai healthcare professionals, and to provide evidence for the improvement of the surveillance system. MethodsIn December 2024, healthcare professional participants from diverse medical and health institutions were randomly selected within each stratum using a stratified cluster sampling method in all 16 districts of Shanghai for questionnaire surveys on their knowledge and suggestions for optimization of the PUE surveillance system. Descriptive statistics analyses, multivariate logistic regressions, and content analyses were used for data analyses. ResultsA total of 385 survey subjects were involved in the study, including 119 professional staffs from disease prevention and control centers and 266 from medical institutions. Those who understood the case definition for PUE correctly accounted for 67.01% (258/385). Multivariate regression model analyses showed that female gender (aOR=2.22, 95%CI: 1.36‒3.66), professionals from disease control institutions (aOR=2.02, 95%CI: 1.12‒3.72), and those who self-assessed as being familiar with the monitoring system (aOR=2.18, 95%CI:1.23‒3.89) had better understanding of the definition. Overall, 89.61% (345/385) of the survey subjects acknowledged the necessity of the surveillance system. Small number of cases meeting the case definition (54.46%, 214/379), insufficient diagnostic awareness (39.84%, 151/379), and lack of incentives for case reporting (29.29%, 111/379) were major problems for the current surveillance system, with variations observed across different types of institutions. Suggested segments for optimizing the surveillance system included monitoring purpose, case definition, form of monitoring and reporting procedure, organization mechanism, and epidemiological investigation and response. ConclusionThe necessity of PUE surveillance is commonly recognized among healthcare workers. However, the existing system falls short in terms of mastery of case definition and overall surveillance adaptability. There is an urgent need for optimization and improvement to enhance the capacity for preventing and controlling emerging and sudden respiratory infectious diseases.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tianmeng Lingjiao Formula(天礞羚角方, TLF) as an adjunctive therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) with phlegm-heat harassing the interior syndrome. MethodsNinety patients with PAF and phlegm-heat harassing the interior syndrome were enrolled and randomly assigned in a 2∶1 ratio to test group (60 cases) and control group (30 cases). The control group received conventional western medicine, while the test group received TLF in addition to the conventional treatment, with one dose administered daily. The treatment course for both groups was 4 weeks. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome and the rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) conversion were compared between groups. Assessments included AF burden, frequency and duration of AF episodes, TCM syndrome scores, and European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) AF symptom classification before and after treatment. Safety indicators such as blood routine, urine routine, stool routine, liver function, kidney function, and electrolytes were also monitored. Adverse events were recorded. ResultsA total of 82 patients completed the study (54 in the test group and 28 in the control group). After treatment, AF burden, the frequency and duration of AF episodes, and TCM syndrome scores were significantly reduced in both groups, and the test group showed lower indicators than the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The AF conversion rate was 25.93% (14/54) in the test group, significantly higher than 3.57% (1/28) in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate for TCM syndrome efficacy was 83.33% (45/54) in the test group, which was significantly higher than 67.86% (19/28) in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the EHRA atrial fibrillation symptom severity in the test group showed significant improvement, and the improvement in atrial fibrillation symptoms was superior to that in the control group (P<0.01or P<0.05). No significant abnormalities were observed in safety indicators, and no adverse events occurred during the trial. ConclusionTLF as an adjunctive therapy can reduce AF burden, enhance the conversion rate of AF, decrease the frequency and duration of episodes, and improve clinical symptoms in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presenting with phlegm-heat harassing the interior syndrome, with a favorable safety profile.

Objective:To examine the near-complete genomic analysis of norovirus (NoV) subtype GⅡ.17 [P17] outbreaks in Beijing Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024.Methods:Data and specimens related to outbreaks of the NoV aggregation in Beijing′s Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were collected. The NoV was identified using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Specimens with positive nucleic acid were amplified by standard PCR, whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis. Amino acid site variations were compared.Results:In Chaoyang District, from 2014 to 2024, a total of 637 aggregated outbreaks caused by the NoV infection were reported, of which 584 were successfully typed. The epidemic caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype accounted for 8.79% (56/637), which was the dominant epidemic gene subtype in 2014-2015, sporadic in 2016-2019, reappeared in 2022, and significantly increased in 2024 (27.27%, 24/88). Outbreaks caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype occurred mainly from October to December, with the main sites of occurrence in primary schools and kindergartens. This study yielded 53 near-complete genome sequences of the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype from 46 incidents in Chaoyang District. The GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype sequences of Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were segmented into three subgroups on the evolutionary tree, with sequences from 2014 to 2019, 2022 to April 2024, and May to December 2024 clustered into the d, e, and b subgroups, respectively. In the VP1 region′s P2 area, particularly at the HBGA binding site, subgroups b and e exhibited mutations in 22 and two sites, while subgroups b and e showed mutations in four and one sites, predominantly in the RdRp region.Conclusion:The outbreak caused by the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 continues, with a significant increase in 2024, and it becomes the dominant gene subtype from October to December. The sequence formation of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from January to April 2022 and from May to December 2024 shows two different evolutions, with specific mutation sites, requiring continuous monitoring of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy alone in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).Methods:Firstly, retrospective case series study was conducted. Thirty cases of CSDH that had received body posture combined with pharmacotherapy at Department of Neurosurgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2016 to October 2020 were studied retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients were male, and 3 patients were female. The age of patients ( M(IQR)) was 66(16) years (range:28 to 84). Nineteen patients had unilateral hematoma, and 11 patients had bilateral hematoma. All patients received pharmacotherapy and body posture therapy that was to raise their lower limbs 20 to 30 cm with leg lift pad and get abdominal compressed with customized abdominal belt in supine position. Patients were required to maintain the body posture as much as possible, with the maximum to 16 to 18 hours per day. Patients with unilateral hematoma should tilt the head to the affected side and avoid tilting it to the opposite side. For patients with bilateral hematoma, there was no need for head lateralization. Patient were treated with oral dexamethasone and atorvastatin simultaneously. The preliminary efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy was determined by hematoma improvement rate which was analyzed by Clopper-Pearson method. Then, the multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial had carried out in 9 medical centers from August 2020 to November 2021. The stratified block randomization method was adopted. Patients were randomized in a ratio of 1∶1 to either receive pharmacotherapy alone(the control group) or body posture combined with pharmacotherapy(the experiment group) for 3 months and followed up for 6 months. Effective treatment was defined as complete absorption of hematoma, or the hematoma volume decreased by more than 10 ml and Markwalder grading scale score had improved by more than 1 point compared to the baseline. The efficacy rate and surgery conversion rate at 3 months and recurrence at 6 months were observed. Comparison between groups was performed with paired sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, corrected χ2 test, or Fisher exact probability method. Logistic regression was used to compare the effective rate and operation rate between the two groups. Results:In the respective study, 30 patients completed follow-up 13 to 353 days after treatment. At the last follow-up, the incidence of almost complete absorption or significantly absorption of hematoma (hematoma volume was significantly reduced accompanied by symptom improvement) was 93.3%. The 95% CI for the incidence that analyzed by the Clopper-Pearson method was 77.9% to 99.2%. One hundred and six patients were enrolled in the multicenter study. Fifty-five patients underwent body posture combined with pharmacotherapy. The age was 74(17) years (range:26 to 92). Thirty-nine patients were males and 16 were females. Fifty-one patients underwent pharmacotherapy alone. The age was 69(12) years (range:48 to 84). Thirty-seven patients were males and 14 were females. The length of body posture recorded in diary card was (15.7±2.3) hours(range:7.6 to 19.3 hours). The efficacy rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 83.6% (46/55) and 56.9% (29/51), respectively at 3 months. The result of the logistic regression analysis showed that the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group was better than that of pharmacotherapy alone group ( OR=3.88,95% CI:1.57 to 9.58, P=0.003). Surgery rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 5.5% (3/55) and 21.6% (11/51) respectively. The result of Logistic regression showed that the pharmacotherapy alone group was more likely to be converted to surgery ( OR=0.21,95% CI:0.05 to 0.80, P=0.023). At the 6 months, no recurrence of cases was found in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group. However, the recurrence rate of pharmacotherapy alone group was 6.3% (3/48), there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The effect of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy for chronic subdural hematoma is better than that of pharmacotherapy alone.

Objective:To identify risk factors for developing infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in female hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) patients with childbearing age.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 460 female HTG-AP patients with childbearing age admitted to Eastern Theater General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army between December 2013 and December 2022. Patients were divided into the IPN group ( n=140) and non-IPN group ( n=320) based on the occurrence of IPN. General clinical data, laboratory test results and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for IPN in reproductive-age HTG-AP patients. Results:Among the 460 patients, 140 (30.4%) developed IPN. Compared with the non-IPN group, the IPN group had a significantly higher proportion of pregnant patients (30.0% vs 10.9%, P<0.001) and a lower proportion with a history of acute pancreatitis (12.9% vs 31.3%, P<0.001). Laboratory findings showed that patients in the IPN group had lower levels of hemoglobin and albumin, but higher levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. Clinical outcomes showed that the IPN group had significantly higher rates of severe acute pancreatitis and mortality compared to the non-IPN group. Additionally, the median length of ICU stay and total hospital stay in the IPN group were significantly longer, at 16.5 days and 32.0 days, respectively. Univariate logistic regression analyses showed that pregnancy, previous history of acute pancreatitis, and levels of hemoglobin, total bilirubin, albumin, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were significantly associated with IPN. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that pregnancy ( OR=2.617, 95% CI 1.494-4.210, P=0.001), a history of acute pancreatitis ( OR=0.339, 95% CI 0.189-0.711, P=0.002), hemoglobin level ( OR=0.945, 95% CI 0.939-0.987, P<0.001), and blood urea nitrogen level ( OR=1.173, 95% CI 1.056-1.198, P=0.004) were independently associated with the occurrence of IPN. Conclusions:Pregnancy, a first episode of acute pancreatitis, lower hemoglobin levels and higher blood urea nitrogen levels are independent risk factors for IPN in female HTG-AP patients with childbearing age.
