Objective: To explore the correlation and lag effects of environmental factors on pediatric respiratory disease visits at hospital, so as to provide scientific basis for disease prediction and optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: Data from 503 889 pediatric respiratory disease outpatient and emergency visits a central hospital in Minhang District of Shanghai between 2017 and 2019, along with concurrent meteorological data were collected. A distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) was constructed to explore the specific relationship between pediatric respiratory disease consultations and various environmental factors and to quantify the cumulative lag effects of environmental factors on respiratory disease consultations. Results: Among the environmental factors, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) were associated with pediatric respiratory disease visits. After adjusting for temperature, PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations did not show significant immediate or lag effects. The relative risk (RR) of pediatric respiratory disease visits increased with rising NO 2 concentrations. When NO 2 concentration ≥55 μg/m 3, significant immediate and lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.05, 1.13, 1.17, and 1.21( P <0.05). The RR values showed an inverted “U” shaped relationship with SO 2 concentrations. When SO 2 concentration ≥5 μg/m 3, significant lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.03 , 1.03, and 1.04 ( P <0.05). Conclusion High concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 increase the risk of pediatric respiratory disease visits, with observable lag effects.

Objective To investigate the effect of colquhounia root tablet(CRT)on hyperglucose-in-duced epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in renal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2),and to explore its possible action mechanism.Methods HK-2 was cultured in vitro,and HK-2 was divided into the following five groups:control group(CON group),hyperosmolar group(MA group),high glucose group(HG group),high sugar+CRT group(HG+CRT group),high sugar+phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase inhibitor group(HG+LY29400 group),high sugar+CRT+phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase inhibitor group(HG+CRT+LY29400).The real time immunofluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to detect the mRNA ex-pression levels of E-cadherin,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN)in each group.Western-blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PTEN,phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K),protein kinase B(Akt),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt),E-cadherin and α-SMA in each group.Results Compared with the CON group,the protein and mRNA expression levels of α-SMA,p-Akt protein expression level and p-Akt/Akt ratio in the HG group were increased,the protein and mRNA ex-pression levels of E-cadherin and PTEN were decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG group,the α-SMA protein and mRNA expression levels in the HG+CRT group were decreased,while the E-cadherin protein and mRNA expression levels were increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG+CRT group,there was no significant differ-ence in the E cadherin,α SMA,PTEN,P13K and Akt protein expression levels and p-Akt/Akt ratio in the HG+CRT+LY29400 group had no significant differences(P＞0.05).while the expression level of p-Akt protein was increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion In vitro,CRT could re-verse hyperglucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell EMT via the PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective Based on the limited time theory,taking tonsillectomy day operation as an example,the whole process nursing list of day operation was constructed,and its application effect was evaluated.Methods The nursing service list of tonsillectomy was constructed based on literature research,field observation and expert correspondence.A total of 197 patients who underwent tonsillectomy in the day ward of a tertiary A general hospital in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province were selected.Among them,98 patients from April to June 2023 were taken as an experimental group and treated with the whole-process nursing list of daytime tonsillectomy constructed in this study,and 99 patients from January to March 2023 were taken as a control group and routine nursing was adopted.The anxiety degree,postoperative pain score,postoperative complication rate and patients'satisfaction with nursing service were compared between the 2 groups.Results Anxiety scores before operation and at discharge,pain scores at 6 h,12 h and 24 h after operation,and incidence of complications such as infection and gastrointestinal reaction within 14 days after operation in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The satisfaction of nursing service in the experimental group(99.40±0.69)score was significantly higher than that in the control group(90.36±1.04)score,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion The use of tonsillectomy day whole-process nursing list can improve perioperative anxiety,relieve postoperative pain and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve patient satisfaction.

Objective:To understand the current status of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with a multi-stage stratified sampling method to select 150 streets or townships from 10 Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities (East: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hainan; Central: Henan; West: Chongqing, Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Xinjiang; Northeast: Liaoning). From May 2022 to April 2023, a total of 21 470 children, including community-based children aged 0.5 to<3.0 years receiving child health care and kindergarten-based children aged 3.0 to<7.0 years, were surveyed. They were divided into 3 age groups: infants (0.5 to<1.0 year), toddlers (1.0 to<3.0 years), and preschoolers (3.0 to<7.0 years). Basic information such as sex and date of birth of the children was collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained for routine blood tests and serum ferritin measurement. The prevalence rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were analyzed, and the prevalence rate differences were compared among different ages, sex, urban and rural areas, and regions using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 21 460 valid responses were collected, including 10 780 boys (50.2%). The number of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers were 2 645 (12.3%), 6 244 (29.1%), and 12 571 (58.6%), respectively. The hemoglobin level was (126.7±14.8) g/L, and the serum ferritin level was 32.3 (18.5, 50.1) μg/L. The overall rates of anemia, iron deficiency, and iron-deficiency anemia were 10.4% (2 230/21 460), 28.3% (6 070/21 460), and 3.9% (845/21 460), respectively. The prevalence rate of anemia was higher for boys than for girls (10.9% (1 173/10 780) vs. 9.9% (1 057/10 680), χ2=5.58, P=0.018), with statistically significant differences in the rates for infants, toddlers and preschoolers (18.0% (475/2 645), 10.6% (662/6 244), and 8.7% (1 093/12 571), respectively, χ2=201.81, P<0.01), and the rate was significantly higher for children in rural than that in urban area (11.8% (1 516/12 883) vs. 8.3% (714/8 577), χ2=65.54, P<0.01), with statistically significant differences in the rates by region ( χ2=126.60, P<0.01), with the highest rate of 15.8% (343/2 173) for children in Central region, and the lowest rate of 5.3% (108/2 053) in Northeastern region. The prevalence rates of iron deficiency were 33.8% (895/2 645), 32.2% (2 011/6 244), and 25.2% (3 164/12 571) in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, respectively, and 30.0% (3 229/10 780) in boys vs. 26.6% (2 841/10 680) in girls, 21.7% (1 913/8 821), 40.0% (870/2 173), 27.1% (2 283/8 413), 48.9% (1 004/2 053) in Eastern, Central, Western, and Northeastern regions, respectively, and each between-group showed a significant statistical difference ( χ2=147.71, 29.73, 773.02, all P<0.01). The prevalence rate of iron-deficiency anemia showed a significant statistical difference between urban and rural areas, 2.9% (251/8 577) vs. 4.6% (594/12 883) ( χ2=38.62, P<0.01), while the difference in iron deficiency prevalence was not significant ( χ2=0.51, P=0.476). Conclusions:There has been a notable improvement in iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia among preschool children in China, but the situation remains concerning. Particular attention should be paid to the prevention and control of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia, especially among infants and children in the Central, Western, and Northeastern regions of China.

Objective:To deeply understand the real experience of young and middle-aged lymphoma patients returning to society.Methods:From August to September 2021, 17 young and middle-aged lymphoma patients admitted to the Department of Hematology of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were selected as the research object by objective sampling. Phenomenological research method was using to conduct face-to-face in-depth interviews. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to summarize, analyze and refine the theme.Results:A total of 3 first-level themes and 10 second-level themes were extracted. Among them, the willingness to return to society included firm willingness of social return and negative attitude of social return. The scope of social return included returning to work, interpersonal communication, family responsibilities, leisure and entertainment and lifestyle. The influencing mechanism of social return was composed of disease and treatment factors, mental factors, external support and economic capacity.Conclusions:The experience of young and middle-aged lymphoma patients returning to society is a dynamic change process in many aspects. In the future, it is necessary to further explore the status quo of social return of such groups and explore the influencing factors and change tracks of heterogeneity.

Objective:A prospective, multicenter randomized controlled clinical research was conducted to explore the diagnostic value of the new optical staining technology for domestic endoscope, spectral focused imaging (SFI) and variable intelligent staining technology (VIST), for gastric precancerous lesions.Methods:Patients who intended to undergo gastroscopy between August 2020 and May 2021 were randomly divided into the white light group and the new optical staining group at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. A sequential examination method was applied (white light to new optical staining or new optical staining to white light). The endoscopic diagnostic results and the detection results of Helicobacter pylori ( HP) of the two groups were recorded. At the same time, such five variables as gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, fold enlargement, nodular gastritis and diffuse redness were evaluated for the risk of gastric cancer in the two groups. Results:A total of 419 cases were enrolled, including 208 cases in the white light group and 211 cases in the new optical staining group. Compared with pathological findings, the detection rates of gastric inflammation, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and advanced cancer lesions in the white light group were 28.9%, 40.4%, 64.9%, 17.8%, 0.5% and 0.5% respectively; while those in the new optical staining group were 30.8%, 42.7%, 62.6%, 15.2%, 2.8% and 0.5%. There were no significant differences in the detection rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with pathology, the sensitivity, the specificity, the accuracy, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value for gastric mucosal atrophy in the white light group were 92.9%, 61.3%, 74.0%, 61.9% and 92.7% respectively and those in the new optical staining group (SFI mode) were 94.4%, 64.5%, 77.3%, 66.4% and 94.0% respectively. The above 5 measures for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia were 68.1%, 72.6%, 69.7%, 82.1% and 55.2% in the white light group, and 87.1%, 89.9%, 88.2%, 93.5% and 80.7% in the new optical staining group (VIST mode), with significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). In terms of HP infection with 13C-urea breath test ( 13C-UBT) results as the gold standard, the above 5 measures were 90.2%, 84.3%, 87.4%, 86.8% and 88.2% in the white light group and 92.6%, 77.1%, 85.4%, 82.2% and 90.1% in the new optical staining group respectively. The proportion of high-risk gastric lesions in the new optical staining group was higher in cases of a gastric cancer risk score≥ 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy has higher diagnostic value for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia. Gastroscopy is helpful for the detection of precancerous lesions with gastric cancer risk score as a tool. The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy is similar to imported endoscopy in diagnosing gastric precancerous lesions and HP infection, which is an effective means to detect gastric mucosal precancerous lesions.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the detection of fetal chromosome copy number variations (CNVs). METHODS: Clinical data of 18 661 pregnant women who underwent NIPT were collected. For fetuses suspected for carrying CNVs, amniotic fluid samples were collected for chromosomal karyotyping and/or chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). RESULTS: Among all samples, NIPT suggested that 58 fetuses carried trisomy 21, 18 carried trisomy 18, 19 carried trisomy 13, 1 carried trisomies 18 and 21. Eighty eight women accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis. The results of CMA in 59 cases were consistent with those of NIPT, which yielded a consistency rate of 67.05%. In addition, 37 cases of fetal CNVs were detected by NIPT, of which 19 (15 microdeletions and 4 microduplications) have accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis. In 14 cases, the results were consistency with those of NIPT, with a consistent rate of 73.68%. CONCLUSION NIPT features high sensitivity and accuracy. Invasive prenatal diagnosis should be considered for CNVs detected by NIPT, and by tracing its parental origin, it can provide guidance for clinical practice.

Objective: To explore the influence of cluster nursing intervention on inadequate drainage in vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) for inpatients in burn unit. Methods: From October to December 2016, 60 patients, aged (43.6±2.8) years admitted to our department, receiving VSD treatment and conforming to the inclusion criteria, were included in the routine nursing group, and among the patients, 37 cases were male and 23 cases were female. From May to July 2017, 58 patients, aged (44.2±3.2) years admitted to our department, receiving VSD treatment and conforming to the inclusion criteria, were included in the cluster nursing group, and among the patients, 36 cases were male and 22 cases were female. The patients′ medical records were retrospectively analyzed. After VSD treatment, patients in routine nursing group received routine nursing, and patients in cluster nursing group received cluster nursing. A cluster intervention group was formed and headed by a chief surgeon. The cluster nursing plan was formulated and implemented strictly from the following six aspects of material preparation, negative pressure value control and negative pressure mode setting, drainage tube nursing, semi-permeable membrane reinforcement, standardizing changing process and timing of drainage capsule, and health education. During VSD treatment, the incidence of inadequate drainage, reasons of inadequate drainage and the occurrences, occurrences of inadequate drainage of wounds in different types and sites, and satisfaction of patients in two groups were observed and calculated. The patient satisfaction items included procedure of drainage capsule replacement, the method of tube fixation, the content and form of health education. Data were processed with independent sample t test and chi-square test. Results: (1) During VSD treatment, the incidence of inadequate drainage of patients in routine nursing group was 43.33% (130/300), which was significantly higher than 17.24% (50/290) in cluster nursing group (χ²=43.350, P<0.01). (2) During VSD treatment, the incidences of inadequate drainage caused by blockage of drainage tube due to scabbing of drainage, low negative pressure, air leakage of semi-permeable membrane, improper changing process of drainage capsule, shedding, compression, reversal of drainage tube of patients in cluster nursing group were 7.93% (23/290), 4.48% (13/290), 1.72% (5/290), 1.03% (3/290), and 2.07% (6/290), respectively, significantly lower than 16.67% (50/300), 11.67% (35/300), 4.33% (13/300), 4.00% (12/300), and 6.67% (20/300) in routine nursing group (χ²=10.379, 22.951, 4.832, 7.840, 7.399, P<0.05 or P<0.01). (3) During VSD treatment, the incidences of inadequate drainage of burn wounds, trauma wounds, pressure ulcer, venous ulcer in lower limbs, and diabetic foot of patients in cluster nursing group were significantly lower than those in routine nursing group (χ²=17.835, 6.809, 9.478, 4.939, 8.631, P<0.05 or P<0.01). During VSD treatment, the incidences of inadequate drainage of wounds in different types of patients in the same group were close (χ²=0.434, 0.057, P>0.05). (4) During VSD treatment, the incidences of inadequate drainage of wounds in limbs, trunk, buttocks, and sacrococcyx of patients in cluster nursing group were significantly lower than those in routine nursing group (χ²=31.892, 9.588, 4.939, 4.549, P<0.05 or P<0.01). During VSD treatment, the incidences of inadequate drainage of wounds in different wound sites of patients in the same group were close (χ²=0.071, 0.069, P>0.05). (5) The satisfaction scores in changing process of drainage capsule, method of tube fixation, content and form of health education of patients in cluster nursing group after VSD treatment were significantly higher than those in routine nursing group (t=5.166, 4.471, 7.958, 8.975, P<0.01). Conclusions Cluster nursing intervention on patients receiving VSD treatment could reduce the incidences of inadequate drainage of wounds in different types and sites caused by various reasons. It also can improve patient satisfaction.
