ObjectiveTo understand the prevalence of tobacco use among residents aged 15 years old and above in Jiading District of Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective regional tobacco control policies. MethodsThe Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling method was employed to select one neighborhood committee (village) from each of Jiading District’s 11 subdistricts as survey monitoring sites. From the household registry of each selected neighborhood committee (village), 50 residential households were randomly sampled, resulting in a total of 550 households surveyed. Within each selected household, one permanent resident aged 15 years old or above was randomly chosen to complete the questionnaire. The content covered general information, exposure to secondhand smoke, awareness of tobacco related health hazards, etc. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 27.0 software. ResultsA total of 550 questionnaires were distributed, with 549 valid responses collected, and the effective response rate was 99.82%. The survey findings revealed that in 2023, the current smoking rate among individuals aged 15 years old and above in Jiading District of Shanghai was 18.76%, with males accounting for 38.93% and females accounting for 2.62%. Male gender was identified as a relative factor for smoking (OR=34.108, 95%CI: 14.440‒80.722), whereas higher education attainment emerged as a protective factor against smoking (OR=0.388, 95%CI: 0.184‒0.820). Among non-smokers aged 15 years old and above in Jiading District, the secondhand smoke exposure rate was 46.86%, with statistically significant differences observed across different age groups and occupations (P<0.001). Restaurants exhibited the highest secondhand smoke exposure rate of 42.14%, followed by households bearing (36.79%). The overall awareness rate among individuals aged 15 years old and above in Jiading District regarding four smoking-related diseases, namely stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and impotence, was 48.45%, while the awareness rate for three secondhand smoke-induced diseases, namely adult heart disease, pediatric pulmonary disease, and adult lung cancer, was 64.29%. ConclusionThere is still room for reduction in the prevalence of tobacco use among individuals aged 15 yeas old and above in Jiading District. The exposure to secondhand smoke is severe, and residents have low awareness of the harm of tobacco. Tobacco control law enforcement should be strengthened, smoke-free-home health education should be included in tobacco control efforts, and targeted health education should be carried out.

Objective:To measure the distance between the fetal bladder neck and the rectal end using prenatal MRI and analyze the developmental patterns of this distance and the gender differences in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.Methods:This retrospective cohort study involved fetuses born at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University after regular prenatal examinations from January 2019 to December 2022 and confirmed to have typical anorectal structures after birth. These fetuses had undergone prenatal MRI examinations for reasons other than abdominal issues. The morphology of the fetuses' colons, rectums, and bladders was observed, and the vertical distance between the bladder neck and the rectal end was measured on sagittal T1weighted imaging. Differences in the distance between male and female fetuses were analyzed. The fetuses were divided into five groups based on their gestational age at the time of MRI examination (23-24 weeks, >24-26 weeks, >26-28 weeks, >28- 30 weeks, and >30-32 weeks), and the changes in the distance with gestational age were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis. Pairwise comparisons among multiple groups were conducted using the Bonferroni method. Results:(1) A total of 142 fetuses were included in this study, all of which were singletons, with 73 males (51.4%) and 69 females (48.6%). The gestational age at the MRI examination was 28 weeks (26-30 weeks). (2) All fetuses had meconium filling the entire rectum and colon, with the rectal end located 0.570-2.610 cm below the bladder neck. (3) The distance between the bladder neck and the rectal end was shorter in male fetuses than in female fetuses [(1.140±0.261) vs. (1.519±0.405) cm, t=－6.58, P<0.001]. (4) In female fetuses, four pairs of groups showed statistically significant differences in the distance (23-24 weeks group vs. >26-28 weeks, >28- 30 weeks, and >30-32 weeks groups, and >24-26 weeks group vs. >30-32 weeks group). However, only two groups of male fetuses (23-24 weeks group vs. >28-30 weeks group) had statistically significant differences in the distance (all P<0.005). (5) The distance was moderately correlated with gestational age in male fetuses ( r=0.42, P<0.001), but they were strongly correlated in female fetuses ( r=0.66, P<0.001). Conclusions:The distance between the bladder neck and the rectal end in fetuses shows certain developmental patterns and gender differences in pregnancy's second and third trimesters. The correlation between the value and gestational age is stronger in female fetuses.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, histopathological morphology, and differential diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers.Methods:From 2020 to 2021, 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers diagnosed in Fujian Cancer Hospital (2 cases) and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (2 cases) were collected. Different ancillary procedures such as HE, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization techniques were used to assess the histopathological features and immunophenotypes. The clinical data were collected and literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers were male. They were 32, 45, 67 and 39 years old, respectively. The main clinical manifestations were bloody phlegm, abdominal pain, fatigue and anorexia. The clinical stages at diagnosis were stage Ⅳ (3 cases) and stage Ⅱ (1 case). Cases 2 and 3 had two pathological examinations at different sites, with a total of six pathological examinations. The histomorphology showed singly scattered or nests of tumor cells in a background of abundant small lymphocytes. The tumor cells were enlarged and pleomorphic, some appeared polygonal with inconspicuous cell borders, and they were arranged in a syncytial pattern. There were megakaryocytes, multinucleated tumor cells, and a few spindle-shaped cells seen. Atypical mitosis was commonly noted. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for CKpan(5/6), CK8/18(4/4), CAM5.2(2/5), CK-H(0/4), CK-L(3/4), EMA(4/5), CK5/6(3/6), p63(1/6), p40(1/6), E-cadherin (4/6), SSTR2(6/6), PD-L1(5/5), LCA(0/6), vimentin(5/6), CD2 (6/6), CD23(6/6), CD35(5/6), CXCL-13(4/5) and D2-40(1/5). The Ki-67 proliferative index was 60%-95%. In situ hybridization for EBER were all positive (6/6). Special stain for reticulin showed positive staining surrounding nests of tumor cells.Conclusions:The expression of follicular dendritic cell markers in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is very rare, which may be related to EBV infection. Occasionally, it can overlap with follicular dendritic cell sarcoma by morphology and immunophenotype, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Only by combining clinical information, morphological characteristics and immunophenotype can an appropriate diagnosis be made.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in treating infected wounds in orthopedic trauma patients.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) and cohort studies examining the impact of NPWT on wound healing in orthopedic trauma infections. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to October 2024. RevMan 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis. The patients were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods: the intervention group, treated with NPWT, and the control group, treated with conventional treatment. The observed indicators included clinical efficacy, wound healing quality, length of hospital stay, wound healing time, incidence of complications, secondary surgery rate, and duration of antibiotic use. Publication bias analysis was performed on the observed indicators through Begg and Egger tests.Results:A total of 13 studies were included, comprising 11 RCT and 2 cohort studies, involving a total of 3 538 patients, with 1 762 in the intervention group and 1 776 in the control group. The meta-analysis results indicated that the intervention group had better clinical efficacy ( OR=7.08, 95% CI 5.31, 9.45, P<0.01), higher wound healing quality ( MD=4.15, 95% CI 3.99, 4.32, P<0.01), shorter length of hospital stay ( MD=-13.38, 95% CI -14.39, -12.38, P<0.01), shorter wound healing time ( MD=-8.11, 95% CI -10.22, -6.00, P<0.01), lower incidence of complications, lower secondary surgery rate ( OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.09, 0.57, P<0.01), and shorter duration of antibiotic use ( MD=-7.61, 95% CI -8.06, -7.16, P<0.01) when compared with the control group. No significant publication bias was observed in the aforementioned indicators ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional treatment, NPWT can enhance the clinical efficacy and wound healing quality of infected wounds in orthopedic trauma patients, shorten length of hospital stay and wound healing time, reduce the incidence of complications and secondary surgery rates, and shorten the duration of antibiotic use.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (VR)-guided core stability-assisted training in improving the balance of ischemic stroke survivors.Methods:Sixty-six hemiplegic ischemic stroke survivors were randomly divided into a conventional rehabilitation training group (CON) of 32 and an immersive VR-guided core stability-assisted training group (VR-TOT) of 34. In addition to basic internal medical treatment, the CON group underwent conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the VR-TOT group received VR-guided core stability-assisted training. Before and after 4 weeks of the treatments, the subjects′ balance was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer balance scale. A three-dimensional force platform was used to collect the sway amplitude, sway speed, peripheral area and total trajectory length of the center of pressure COP of the bilateral plantar in the left-right and anterior-posterior directions while the subjects stood with the eyes open and closed.Results:After the treatments, the average Fugl-Meyer balance scores of both groups had improved significantly. In the eyes-open condition, after the treatment, there was a significant decrease in the average COP sway amplitude in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side among the CON group, as well as in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on both sides in the VR-TOT group. The sway velocity in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side had decreased significantly in both groups, and the sway velocity in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on the non-hemiplegic side had also decreased significantly. In the CON group the peripheral area on the non-hemiplegic side had decreased and the total trajectory length had shortened significantly. In the VR-TOT group there were significant decreases in the peripheral area on both sides and in the total trajectory length on both sides. Comparing the two groups after treatment, the peripheral area on the hemiplegic side in the VR-TOT group was significantly smaller. In the eyes-closed condition, the sway amplitude of the COP on the hemiplegic side in the anteroposterior direction and on the non-hemiplegic side in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions had decreased significantly in the VR-TOT group after the treatment. The average sway velocity had decreased significantly in the anteroposterior direction on the non-hemiplegic side in the CON group. In the VR-TOT group this was observed in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side and in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on the healthy side. In the CON group the average peripheral area of the COP on the hemiplegic side had decreased, and the total trajectory length had shortened, both significantly. In the VR-TOT group, the peripheral area on the non-hemiplegic side had decreased significantly as well.Conclusions:Core stability-assisted training based on immersive virtual reality can effectively improve the balance of ischemic stroke survivors. It shows promise for clinical application.

Purpose To summarize the clinicopathological features of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma(PPGL)and discuss the potential correlation between SDHB immunophenotype and prognosis in PPGLs.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 samples of PPGL along with their corresponding clinicopathological informa-tion,SDHB immunophenotype characteristics,and the risk of recurrence and metastasis.Results The study included 20 extra-adrenal paragangliomas and 10 pheochromocytoma cases.The male-to-female ratio was 13∶17,with a mean age of 56(range from 21 to 79).Four cases recurred,one case resulted in death and five cases failed to follow-up.All recurrent or fatal cases were paraganglioma patients.Among the 30 cases,3 had multiple nodular lesions,and the re-maining cases were single nodule.The neck was the most frequent site for paraganglioma(6/20),followed by retroper-itoneum(5/20).Histologically,the tumors displayed a variable"zellballen"architecture with a highly vascularized stroma.The chief cells had abundant pale eosinophilic cytoplasm and slightly to moderately atypical nuclei,and pe-ripherally located sustentacular cells.Positive immunoreactivity with markers of neuroendocrine cells,including Syn,CgA,and GATA3,was found in tumor chief cells,which were nonreactive for CK.The sustentacular cells exhibited positive immunoreactivity for the S-100 protein.SDHB deficiency was demonstrated in 12 of 30 cases,with only one case being pheochromocytoma.The recurrence rate in SDHB-deficient group was higher than that in the positive group(33.3％vs 6.7％).Only one case of paraganglioma developed distant metastasis and death.Conclusion SDHB de-ficiency was predominantly observed in paragangliomas and serverd as an indipentent factor for metastatic risk in PPGLs.It was closely associated with younger age at onset,invasiveness,extra-adrenal tumorgenesis,and a high rate of tumor recurrence.

Objective To explore the characteristics of latent profiles of ego depletion in patients with heart failure,and analyze the impacts of these profiles on patients' self-management behavior.Methods 280 heart failure patients who were hospitalized in a tertiary grade A hospital were conveniently selected in Nanjing from April to October 2024 as study subjects.The investigation utilized a general information questionnaire,the Ego-Depletion Scale for Heart Failure Patients,the Self-Management Scale of Heart Failure Patients,and the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale.The latent profile categories of ego depletion was explored in heart failure patients.Univariate analysis and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the influencing factors of different latent profile categories and the impact of each category on patients' self-management levels.Results The ego depletion of 255 heart failure patients could be classified into 3 latent profiles:self-adaptive low depletion group(35.29％),symptom distressed moderate depletion group(43.53％),and social life change high depletion group(21.18％).Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that residence,primary caregiver,education level,New York Heart Association cardiac function grade,and self-efficacy score were factors influencing the potential profile of ego depletion in heart failure patients(P＜0.05).The comparison of self-management scores among patients in different latent profiles of ego depletion showed statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of ego depletion in patients with heart failure is high with significant heterogeneity.Medical staff should pay attention to the heterogeneity and influencing factors of ego depletion in patients with heart failure in time,and develop personalized comprehensive intervention strategies to alleviate ego depletion and improve their self-management levels.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of multidisciplinary collaborative evidence-based nursing on dysphagia in patients with orotracheal intubation in intensive care unit(ICU)after extubation.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 200 patients with orotracheal intubation in ICU who were admitted to Dongguan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital between January and December 2023.Of them,96 patients who were admitted to our hospital between January and May 2023 received routine nursing(routine group),104 patients who were admitted to our hospital between June and December 2023 received multidisciplinary collaborative evidence-based nursing(evidence-based group).The incidence of dysphagia after extubation,water swallowing test result,swallowing function measured with M.D.Anderson dysphagia inventory(MDADI),psychological state assessed by connor-davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC),quality of life assessed by swallowing quality-of-life questionnaire(SWAL-QOL),and the incidence of dysphagia complications(aspiration,aspiration pneumonia,and malnutrition)were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence of dysphagia after extubation and the water swallowing test class in the evidence-based group were lower than those in the routine group(both P<0.05).The total score of MDADI and CD-RISC scores in the evidence-based group were significantly higher than those in the routine group(P<0.05),while the SWAL-QOL scores were lower(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the evidence-based group was significantly lower than that in the routine group(P<0.05).Conclusion Multidisciplinary collaborative evidence-based nursing can effectively reduce the incidence of dysphagia in patients with orotracheal intubation in ICU after extubation,improve swallowing function,psychological state and quality of life,and reduce the incidence of complications.
