Objective To investigate the longitudinal clinical manifestations of acute radiation dermatitis(ARD)induced by particle therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients and to analyze associated risk factors.Methods A longitudinal study design was employed,encompassing nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who underwent particle therapy at the Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center from Mar to Sept 2023.Participants were assessed weekly(1-12 weeks)following the commencement of radiotherapy and at baseline,prior to the start of treatment.Data collection included the patient demographic questionnaire,the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group(RTOG)grading criteria for acute radiation injury,and the radiation-induced skin reaction assessment scale(RISRAS).Photographic documentation was utilized to capture changes in the irradiated skin area.The enrolled patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were grouped according to different particle therapy regimens.Survival data were analyzed by Log-rank and Cox regression methods,while a linear mixed-effects model was applied to repeated measures data.Results A total of 119 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were enrolled.The overall incidence of ARD was 89.1%,which included 39.5%of grade 1,45.4%of grade 2 and 4.2%of grade 3.With the extension of time,the severity of ARD peaked at week 7(RISRAS=13.26±4.512),then began to decrease,ultimately reaching a lower level.Multiple Cox proportional hazards models were constructed,revealing that proton/heavy ion radiotherapy was associated with a lower risk of ARD compared to photon/proton plus heavy ion radiotherapy(HR=0.19,95%CI:0.04-0.92,P=0.039).Additionally,concurrent cisplatin/nedaplatin chemotherapy was identified as a risk factor for the development of ARD.Least squares(LS)mean differences were calculated at different time points,and the results demonstrated that the RISRAS scores of the photon/proton plus heavy ion group were consistently and significantly higher from week 5 to week 7 compared with the proton plus heavy ion group,and despite a decrease by week 8,statistical differences remained(week 5:LS mean difference 3.35,95%CI:0.94-5.76,P=0.007;week 6:LS mean difference 5.23,95%CI:2.20-8.26,P=0.001;week 7:LS mean difference 7.13,95%CI:3.67-10.59,P<0.001;week 8:LS mean difference 4.04,95%CI:0.74-7.34,P=0.017).Patients undergoing concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy had higher RISRAS scores from week 7 to week 8 of radiotherapy compared with those not receiving chemotherapy[week 7:adjusted mean difference(Adj.MD)4.20,95%CI:1.96-6.57,P=0.006;week 8:Adj.MD 2.79,95%CI 0.55-5.03,P=0.015].Similarly,patients on concurrent nedaplatin chemotherapy had higher RISRAS scores from weeks 6 to 7 compared with those not on chemotherapy(week 6:Adj.MD 3.75,95%CI:1.54-5.96,P=0.001;week 7:Adj.MD 4.41,95%CI:2.12-6.70,P<0.001).Skin care measures during treatment and accompanying symptoms such as weight loss were not statistically associated with the development of ARD.Conclusion Proton/heavy ion radiotherapy has a lower risk of ARD,while concurrent cisplatin/nedaplatin chemotherapy is a risk factor for ARD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of medical community homogenization management(MCHM)on self-care ability,heart function,vascular endothelial function and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:This randomized controlled study enrolled 110 CHF patients admitted in Panzhihua Central Hos-pital between April 2021 and April 2023.They were divided into intervention group(n=55)and routine group(n=55).The control group received routine management,while intervention group received additional MCHM,both groups were intervened for 3 months.Self-care ability,heart function,vascular endothelial function,quality of life and incidence of adverse events were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with patients in control group,those in intervention group had significant higher total score of self-care of heart failure index(SCHFI)[(82.30±2.98)points vs.(59.46±3.19)points],stroke volume(SV)[(73.30±2.31)ml vs.(54.66±1.96)ml],left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(58.25±2.90)% vs.(52.41±2.52)%],early diastolic peak flow velocity/late diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A)[(1.95±0.18)vs.(1.30±0.16)]and the level of nitric oxide(NO)[(106.70±4.44)μmol/L vs.(82.36±4.66)μmol/L](P<0.001 all),and significant lower left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd)[(49.79±1.58)mm vs.(56.49±2.17)mm],endothelin-1(ET-1)[(36.66±2.65)ng/L vs.(46.88±2.66)ng/L],Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire(MLHFQ)total score[(36.12±3.23)points vs.(54.67±3.35)points](P<0.001 all).Patients in intervention group had significant lower incidence of adverse events comparing to those in control group(7.27% vs.25.45%,P=0.010).Conclu-sion:Medical community homogenization management could significantly improve self-care ability,heart func-tion,vascular endothelial function and quality of life with good safety in CHF patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of specific IgE antibodies against Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus fumigatus in serum samples from clinical allergy patients across selected provinces in China.Methods Data on specific IgE antibodies for Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.were collected from 20 hospital laboratories in 17 cities spanning 11 provinces.The study analyzed the levels of specific IgE and their variations across different provinces and seasons.Results A total of 27 471 cases of Alternaria A.and 32 843 cases of Aspergillus F.specific IgE data were included.The national average positive rate of Alternaria A.IgE was 10.40%,with the highest rate of 22.68%in Jiangsu and the lowest rate of 2.06%in Guangxi.For Aspergillus F.specific IgE,the average positive rate was 4.24%,with Hubei province having the highest rate(7.25%)and Hunan province the lowest(1.23%).The difference in IgE levels for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.among provinces were statistically significant(H=9 955,16 993,all P<0.0001).Among patients,5.85%had Alternaria A.specific IgE levels at grade 3 or above,while only 0.57%had Aspergillus F.specific IgE levels at this level.When examining seasonal variations using data from Liaoning,Hunan and Anhui provinces,significant seasonal changes were observed for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.IgE antibodies(HAlternaria A=347.6,338.0,401.3,HAspergillus F=196.6,133.7,231.7,all P<0.0001).Conclusion The sensitization to Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.exhibits distinct geographical characteristics and vary significantly with seasons.Given the relatively high IgE levels associated with Alternaria A.,it should be given adequate clinical attention.

Objective:To analyze the dual gain effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with vestibular rehabilitation training on patients with tinnitus and dizziness.Methods:This study was a retrospective analysis,and 90 patients with tinnitus and dizziness who visited the outpatient department of our hospital from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected to carry out the study,and were divided into observation group and control group according to the treatment methods,with 45 cases in each group.The matched group patients were treated with conventional medication,while the observation group received hyperbaric oxygen combined with vestibular rehabilitation training on the basis of the matched group.The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared,including the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the cerebral cortex,vestibular function,severity of tinnitus,and severity of dizziness before and after treatment.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than the matched group(P<0.05);Post-treatment,there was no significant change in the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the parietal and occipital cortex between the two groups(P>0.05).However,the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin in the temporal lobe,dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,and frontal polar cortex increased,and the observation group was higher than the matched group(P<0.05);Post-treatment,the values of hemiparesis,total area of center of gravity movement(CA),and total length of center of gravity movement(PL)in both groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than the matched group(P<0.05);Post-treatment,the severity score of tinnitus in both groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than that in the matched group(P<0.05);Post-treatment,the degree score of vertigo in both groups decreased,and the observation group was lower than that in the matched group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Hyperbaric oxygen combined with vestibular rehabilitation training has a significant dual gain effect on patients with tinnitus and dizziness,which can improve clinical efficacy,promote cortical neural activity,improve vestibular function,and thereby alleviate the severity of tinnitus and dizziness.
