Objective: To investigate the characteristics of malignant tumor incidence and mortality in cancer registration areas of Sichuan Province in 2021. Methods: Cancer registration data from 142 registries in Sichuan Province in 2021 were collected via the China Cancer Registry Platform. Crude incidence and crude mortality were calculated. The Chinese population-standardized incidence and world population-standardized incidence were standardized using the age structure of the standard population from the Fifth National Population Census in 2000 and Segi's world standard population. Descriptive analyses examined the distribution of rates by genders, urban/rural areas, and ages, and the ranking of leading cancer sites. Results: In 2021, there were 248 600 new malignant tumor cases reported in Sichuan Province, with a crude incidence of 296.37/100 000. The Chinese population-standardized incidence and world population-standardized incidence were 164.67/100 000 and 160.47/100 000, respectively. There were 158 673 malignant tumor deaths, with a crude mortality of 189.16/100 000. The Chinese population-standardized mortality and world population-standardized mortality were 92.47/100 000 and 92.00/100 000, respectively. The Chinese population-standardized incidence and mortality in males were higher than in females (179.56/100 000 vs. 151.62/100 000, 125.09/100 000 vs. 60.35/100 000). The Chinese population-standardized incidence and mortality in urban areas were higher than in rural areas (175.74/100 000 vs. 157.54/100 000, 93.63/100 000 vs. 91.82/100 000). Both the crude incidence and crude mortality increased with age. The top ten malignant tumors by crude incidence were lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, and corpus uteri cancer, accounting for 76.33% of all new cases. The top ten by crude mortality were lung cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and brain tumors, accounting for 82.39% of all cancer deaths. Conclusions In registration areas of Sichuan Province, the incidence and mortality of malignant tumors are relatively low. Key populations such as males, urban residents, and the elderly require focused prevention and control efforts. Comprehensive measures should be prioritized for malignant tumors including lung cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.

Based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS) technology and network pharmacology, this study explored the pharmacodynamic substances and potential mechanisms of Huazhuo Sanjie Chubi Decoction in the treatment of gouty arthritis(GA). UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS technology was used to identify the components in Huazhuo Sanjie Chubi Decoction, and the qualitative analysis of its active ingredients was carried out, with a total of 184 active ingredients identified. A total of 897 active ingredient targets were screened through the PharmMapper database, and 491 GA-related disease targets were obtained from the OMIM, GeneCards, CTD databases. After Venn analysis, 60 intersecting targets were obtained. The component target-GA target network was constructed through the Cytoscape platform, and the STRING database was used to construct a protein-protein interaction network, with 16 core targets screened. The core targets were subjected to Gene Ontology(GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses, and the component-target-pathway network was constructed. It was found that the main active ingredients of the formula for the treatment of GA were phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, and the key targets were SRC, MMP3, MMP9, REN, ALB, IGF1R, PPARG, MAPK1, HPRT1, and CASP1. Through GO analysis, it was found that the treatment of GA mainly involved biological processes such as lipid response, bacterial response, and biostimulus response. KEGG analysis showed that the pathways related to the treatment of GA included lipids and atherosclerosis, neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs), IL-17, and so on. In summary, phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids may be the core pharmacodynamic substances of Huazhuo Sanjie Chubi Decoction in the treatment of GA, and the pharmacodynamic mechanism may be related to SRC, MMP3, MMP9, and other targets, as well as lipids and atherosclerosis, NETs, IL-17, and other pathways.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of single-balloon and double-balloon enteroscopy in diagnosing pediatric small bowel diseases and assess the diagnostic efficacy of computed tomography enterography (CTE) for small bowel diseases using enteroscopy as the reference standard. METHODS: Clinical data from 576 children who underwent enteroscopy at Hunan Children's Hospital between January 2017 and December 2023 were retrospectively collected. The children were categorized based on enteroscopy type into the single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) group (n=457) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) group (n=119), and the clinical data were compared between the two groups. The sensitivity and specificity of CTE for diagnosing small bowel diseases were evaluated using enteroscopy results as the standard. RESULTS: Among the 576 children, small bowel lesions were detected by enteroscopy in 274 children (47.6%).There was no significant difference in lesion detection rates or complication rates between the SBE and DBE groups (P>0.05), but the DBE group had deeper insertion, longer procedure time, and higher complete small bowel examination rate (P<0.05). The complication rate during enteroscopy was 4.3% (25/576), with 18 cases (3.1%) of mild complications and 7 cases (1.2%) of severe complications, which improved with symptomatic treatment, surgical, or endoscopic intervention. Among the 412 children who underwent CTE, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing small bowel diseases were 44.4% and 71.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SBE and DBE have similar diagnostic efficacy for pediatric small bowel diseases, but DBE is preferred for suspected deep small bowel lesions and comprehensive small bowel examination. Enteroscopy in children demonstrates relatively good overall safety. CTE demonstrates relatively low sensitivity but comparatively high specificity for diagnosing small bowel diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical effect and adverse reactions of dapoxetine hydrochloride versus paroxetine in the treatment of primary premature ejaculation by cross-comparison. METHODS: Based on the clinic-visit time, we equally randomized 148 patients with primary premature ejaculation into groups A and B for a cross-comparison test, the former treated with paroxetine at 20 mg once nightly and the latter with dapoxetine hydrochloride at 30 mg on demand, both for 6 successive weeks, during which we observed the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions. Following 4 weeks of drug discontinuance, we administered dapoxetine hydrochloride at 30 mg on demand for group A and paroxetine at 20 mg once nightly for group B, both for another 6 successive weeks, followed by observation and comparison of the therapeutic effects and adverse reactions. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the initial characteristics of the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). Compared with the baseline, the mean intra-vaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) was dramatically improved after treatment in both groups A (4.43 min) and B (7.12 min), increased by 3.99% and 6.72%, respectively (P<0.001). The patients treated with paroxetine showed significantly longer IELT than those taking dapoxetine hydrochloride in both groups (P<0.001). Findings of the Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP) and spouses' conditions indicated significant improvement after treatment in the average scores of the four indicators of PEP, that is, perceived control over ejaculation, ejaculation-related personal distress, satisfaction with sexual intercourse and ejaculation-related interpersonal difficulty, as well as in the overall experience and partner's satisfaction and orgasm frequency. Adverse reactions to medication were found in 20.8% of the cases in group A and 9.7% in group B, but none was serious. Preference survey following drug withdrawal revealed a preference for paroxetine (61.9%) over dapoxetine (26.8%), and that only a few of the patients thought of the two drugs as comparable or both ineffective. CONCLUSION In term of overall effectiveness, paroxetine was superior to dapoxetine in the treatment of primary premature ejaculation. And the patients obviously preferred the former to the latter, which might be partly attributed to the higher price of dapoxetine.

Objective To understand the current status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among operating room doctors,thereby analyzing its effect on mental health. Methods A total of 1013 doctors in the operating rooms of 30 hospitals in 24 provinces from September to December 2022 were selected by cross-sectional survey method. The domestic musculoskeletal disease questionnaire was used to investigate the occurrence of WMSDs in operating room doctors,the symptom check list-90 (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the psychological status of operating room doctors,the relationship between WMSDs related items and SCL-90 scores was analyzed,the correla-tion between the rest time of each shift and SCL-90 factors was analyzed by Pearson method,and the influencing factors of mental health of operating room doctors were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results A total of 1100 questionnaires were distributed and 1013 valid questionnaires were recovered,with an effective rate of 92.10％. The incidence of WMSDs among operating room doctors in the past 1 year was 95.06％. The body parts with incidences of WMSDs from high to low were as follows:waist (36.92％),neck (35.54％),shoulder (33.56％),and upper back (32.77％). In the past 1 year,the SCL-90 scores and total scores of patients with musculoskeletal pain in various body parts,keeping the same back posture for a long time while work,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently while working,bowing the head for a long time while working,and bending the knee for a long time while working were significantly higher than those who were without the above conditions (P<0.05). Shorter rest time of each shift and longer periods of keeping the same back posture were the risk factors for the development of mental illness in operating room doctors. Conclusion The incidence of WMSDs in operating room doctors is high,which can influence the mental health of operating room doctors. Therefore,operating room doctors should avoid keeping the same back posture for a long time,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently,bowing the head for a long time,and bending the knee for a long time while working,and increase the rest time of each shift,in order to improve the mental condition of the operating room doctors.

Objective This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intelligent bed management model in integrating bed resources in a large comprehensive hospital.Methods Inpatient data from a tertiary hospital between January 2021 and De-cember 2024 were collected.An intelligent hospital-wide bed management platform was constructed to implement bed resource sharing mechanisms and establish a standardized bed reservation grading system.The implementation effect of the system was e-valuated from the perspective of bed occupancy rate,average length of stay,and patient satisfaction.Results After implementa-tion,bed occupancy rates in key monitored departments moved into a reasonable range:Rehabilitation Medicine Department fell from 113.18％to 101.48％(t=4.26,P＜0.01),while Neurology Department increased from 88.18％to 96.20％(t=3.85,P＜0.01).Annual inpatient admissions increased from 83,931 to 103,852(x2=156.82,P＜0.001),and average length of stay shortened from 7.15 days to 6.21 days(t=4.73,P＜0.01).The admission waiting time was cut by 72.7 hours(-43.1％),and satisfaction with bed allocation rationality improved by 11.2 points(t=5.94,P＜0.001).Staff time spent on bed-assignment fell by 42 minutes per shift(t=8.92,P＜0.001),and cross-department transfers increased by 378 episodes per month(x2=145.26,P＜0.001).Conclusion The intelligent bed management model can effectively improve hospital bed utili-zation efficiency,enhance healthcare service quality,reduce staff workload,and merits wider application in similar hospitals.

AIM:To investigate the impact of es-ketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia(OFA)on postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gas-tric cancer.METHODS:A total of 150 pa-tients,scheduled for elective laparoscopic distal gas-trectomy for gastric cancer and meeting the inclu-sion and exclusion criteria,were randomly assigned to either the OFA group or the opioid-based anes-thesia(OBA)group using a random number ta-ble,with 75 patients in each group.The OFA group was administered an anesthesia regimen pri-marily consisting of esketamine,while the OBA group received conventional opioid anesthesia,pri-marily consisting of sufentanil and remifentanil.The primary outcome measure was postoperative flatus time,defined as the interval from the end of sur-gery to the first passage of gas.RESULTS:The OFA group exhibited a shorter postoperative flatus time compared to the OBA group(P＜0.01).Intraopera-tive blood loss and norepinephrine consumption were significantly less in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05);the postoperative HADS-D score was better in the OFA group than in the OBA group,and both the OFA and OBA groups showed significantly lower postoperative HADS-A and HADS-D scores compared to their preoperative levels(P＜0.05);the incidence rate of abdominal distension was significantly lower in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The use of esketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia can expedite gastrointestinal function recovery,reduce hospital stay duration,and decrease postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing laparo-scopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
