Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of category C intestinal infectious diseases among children and adolescents in Shenzhen from 2012 to 2024 and the association with meteorological factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for the targeted prevention and control of infectious diseases for children and adolescents. Methods: Using data from the "Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System" of the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System" covering the period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2024, the study analyzed clinical and confirmed cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease, other infectious diarrhea, and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis among individuals aged 6-19 years old to describe demographic and temporal characteristics. It used Joinpoint regression to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC) to analyze incidence trends, and Spearman s correlation was combined to generalize linear models so as to assess the association between category C intestinal infectious diseases and meteorological factors. Results: From 2012 to 2024, a cumulative total of 61 019 cases of hand, foot, and mouth disease among children and adolescents, 58 498 cases of other infectious diarrhea, and 6 377 cases of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis were reported. The AAPC in the incidence rates of these three diseases was 19.19%, 31.03% and 31.48 %, respectively(all P <0.05). Notably, the incidence of hand, foot, and mouth disease increased significantly after 2022 (APC= 133.66 %, P <0.01). The temporal distribution showed that hand,foot,and mouth disease was most prevalent in May,June and July (seasonal index of 2.39,3.64,1.97), other infectious diarrhea was most prevalent in February,March and December (seasonal index of 1.22,1.25,1.47), and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis peaked in September and October (seasonal index of 4.22,2.16). Monthly average temperature could increase the risk of hand,foot,and mouth disease( β = 0.18 ,95% CI =0.11-0.25); as monthly average wind speed increased, the incidence of other infectious diarrhea ( β =-0.86, 95% CI = -1.50 to -0.22) and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis ( β =-1.32, 95% CI =-2.60 to -0.05) both decreased (all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Among children and adolescents in Shenzhen, category C intestinal infectious diseases remain prevalent throughout the year；the number of reported hand, foot, and mouth disease cases has shown an upward trend in recent years.Temperature and wind speed significantly affect the number of reported cases of three types with category C intestinal infectious diseases.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of varicella among nursery children in Shenzhen from 2015 to 2024, and to evaluate the impact of optimizing varicella vaccine (VarV) immunization strategies on varicella incidence. Methods: Varicella incidence data for nursery children in Shenzhen from 2015 to 2024 were obtained from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The study period was divided into three phases:one dose self pay VarV (January 2015 to October 2017), two dose self pay VarV (November 2017 to October 2019), and two dose free VarV (November 2019 to December 2024). Interrupted time series (ITS) analysis was conducted to assess changes in the level and trend of varicella incidence associated with each phase of policy implementation. Results: A total of 27 517 varicella cases was reported among nursery children from 2015 to 2024, with an average annual incidence of 514.01/100 000. During the same period, 136 clustered outbreaks were reported in nursery institutions, involving a cumulative total of 1 091 cases. ITS analysis showed that during the self pay 1 dose stage, the varicella incidence among nursery children showed an upward trend, with an average monthly increase of 2.58/100 000 (95% CI =2.21/ 100 000 -2.95/100 000, P <0.01). After the implementation of the self pay 2 dose strategy, the incidence decreased, with a change in incidence of -26.12/100 000 (95% CI =-37.30/100 000 to -14.94/100 000) and a change in slope of -2.65/100 000 (95% CI = -3.38/100 000 to -1.93/100 000)(all P <0.01). After the implementation of the free 2 dose strategy, the incidence decreased further, with a change in incidence of -40.03/100 000 (95% CI =-50.39/100 000 to -29.66/100 000, P <0.01) and a change in slope of -0.56/100 000 (95% CI =-1.20/100 000-0.08/100 000, P =0.09). Conclusion The gradual optimization of the VarV vaccination strategy in Shenzhen from self pay 1 dose to free 2 dose has significantly reduced the varicella incidence among nursery children, demonstrating good short term control and long term intervention effectiveness.

Objective:To explore the correlation among SMAD4 gene polymorphisms, early life traumatic experience and their interactions with clinical feature of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Methods:Totally 484 OCD patients who met the DSM-Ⅳ diagnostic criteria and 368 health controls who met the enrollment criteria were recruited from September 2013 to September 2018. The Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) was used to assess the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, the Beck depression inventory Ⅱ (BDI-Ⅱ) was used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms, the Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) was used to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms, and early trauma inventory-short form (ETI-SF) was used to assess early traumatic experience. SMAD4: rs12452684, rs2276163, rs17663887 and rs3819122 were genotyped using the Taqman genotyping technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software, and comparisons among groups were performed using chi-square test, t-test, Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test and analysis of covariance. Correlation was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis, and interactions were analyzed using general linear model. Results:All sites except rs17663887 met the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (rs12452684: χ2=0.29, P=0.59; rs2276163: χ2=2.58, P=0.11; rs3819122: χ2=0.22, P=0.64).Allele, genotype frequencies of SMAD4: rs12452684, rs2276163 and rs3819122 were not statistically significant between the OCD and the health control groups ( χ2=0.02, 1.20, 0.04, all P>0.05; χ2=1.85, 3.98, 1.45, all P>0.05). The results of covariance analysis (corrected for age and gender) showed that there were significantly differences in compulsion (CC: 12.47±4.23, CT: 12.53±4.15, TT: 13.97±3.11; AA: 12.63±4.08, AC: 12.49±4.19, CC: 13.87±2.93) and total Y-BOCS scores(CC: 25.31±6.42, CT: 25.68±5.90, TT: 27.75±6.01; AA: 25.54±6.52, AC: 25.56±5.98, CC: 27.63±5.75) among the three genotypes of the SMAD4: rs2276163 and rs3819122 between the two groups ( F=3.58, 3.87, 3.48, 3.73, all P<0.05). Emotional abuse in the ETI-SF was positively correlated with obsession and total Y-BOCS scores( r=0.14, 0.14, both P<0.05). The interactions of rs2276163, rs3819122 and emotional abuse were associated with obsession scores ( F=4.65, 3.63, 2.93, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The more emotional abuse experienced in early life, the more severe obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and the interaction between the SMAD4 gene and early traumatic experience is involved in the development of OCD.

Objective To explore the influence of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)combined with brain-computer interface rehabilitation robot in patients with upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke.Methods A total of 126 patients with upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke were divided into the combined group(61 cases,low-frequency rTMS combined with brain-computer interface rehabilitation robot on the basis of routine rehabilitation treatment)and the magnetic stimulation group(65 cases,low-frequency rTMS on the basis of routine rehabilitation treatment)according to different treatment methods,and both groups were continuously treated for 3 weeks.The upper limb motor function[upper-extremity Fugl-Meyer scale(UFMA),action research arm test(ARAT)],hand Brunnstrom staging,upper limb surface electromyography indicators[root mean square(RMS)and integrated electromyography(iEMG)of biceps brachii,triceps brachii,deltoid anterior bundle and deltoid middle bundle],cerebral artery hemodynamics[systolic blood flow velocity(Vs),resistance index(RI),mean blood flow velocity(Vm)]and ratio of fractional anisotropy(FA)of central region of brain lesion and FA of mirror-image region of healthy cerebral hemisphere(rFA)were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.Results Compared with the magnetic stimulation group,the UFMA score,ARAT score,hand Brunnstrom staging,Vs,Vm and rFA were higher after treatment in the combined group(P＜0.05).The RMS and iEMG of biceps brachii,triceps brachii,deltoid anterior bundle and deltoid middle bundle were higher in the combined group compared with those of the magnetic stimulation group(P＜0.05),while the RI was lower(P＜0.05).Conclusion Combined treatment can more effectively improve the upper limb motor function of patients,enhance hand activity ability,promote the recovery of upper limb muscle and nerve function,and regulate the hemodynamics of cerebral arteries.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a remote medication treatment management model for elderly patients with chronic disease at home based on mobile technology.Methods A convenient and elderly-friendly mo-bile application(hereinafter referred to as Yaoshiyi APP)was developed,and a remote medication treatment management team consisting of clinical pharmacists from tertiary hospitals,community pharmacists,and community physicians was formed.Patients from communities were selected for practical research,led by pharmacists.Based on the Yaoshiyi APP,patients were subjected to 6 months of medication treatment management practice,and the effectiveness and feasibility of the practice were evaluated.Re-sults The Yaoshiyi APP can be integrated with a variety of medical-grade wearable devices to realize the functions of automati-cally uploading monitoring data,abnormal value reminding,medication reminding,medication consultation,and medication sci-ence popularization.A total of 302 elderly patients with chronic disease at home completed the study.The results showed that phar-macists have identified and intervened in 695 cases of medication-related problems.According to the classification of medication-related problems,the top three were 247 cases(35.5％)of additional treatment,97 cases(14.0％)of unnecessary drug treat-ment,and 93 cases(13.4％)of medication compliance problems.The patient's medication adherence score(Morisky medication adherence scale-8,MMAS-8)increased from(5.85±1.57)at enrollment to(6.74±1.23)6 months after enrollment(P＜0.01).After 6 months of enrollment,the patient's satisfaction with the pharmacist's work reached a score of(4.99±0.08)out of 5.The average reduction in drug costs for patients caused by pharmacists intervening in irrational medication is(20.9±18.0)％.At the end of follow-up,93.4％of patients were proficient in using the Yaoshiyi APP.Conclusion The remote medication treatment management model for elderly patients with chronic disease at home based on mobile technology constructed in this study can ef-fectively improve patient compliance with disease monitoring and medication,ensure rational drug use,reduce medical resource waste,and receive high patient acceptance.

Objective:To investigate the alterations in gut microbiota diversity and inflammatory cytokine levels among patients with varying severities of insomnia, and to explore their interrelationships, in order to provide a theoretical basis for understanding the pathophysiology of insomnia.Methods:A total of 42 patients with chronic insomnia who visited the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University between March and December 2023 were enrolled in the insomnia group, and 22 age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited from the same hospital as the control group. General demographic data were collected, and Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was used to screen for comorbid psychiatric disorders. The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were employed to evaluate individual′s depressive and anxiety symptoms. Sleep quality and insomnia severity were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Participants′ gastrointestinal function and symptoms over the past week were evaluated using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). Fecal and blood samples were collected from all participants. Gut microbiota diversity was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Differential taxa were identified using linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) and random forest analysis. Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationships between insomnia symptoms, microbial diversity indices, key microbial taxa, and inflammatory markers. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with insomnia severity.Results:Compared to the control group, both the mild insomnia group and the moderate-to-severe insomnia group showed significantly higher GSRS scores ( Z=-3.51, -2.72, both P<0.05). The Chao1 index was significantly lower in the mild and moderate-to-severe insomnia groups than in controls ( Z=-3.53, -3.87, both P<0.05). Similarly, the Observed species index was lower in both the mild and moderate-to-severe groups ( Z=-3.33, -3.74, both P<0.05). The Shannon index was significantly reduced in the moderate-to-severe group compared to both the mild group and controls ( Z=-2.81, -2.23, both P<0.05). The Simpson index in the moderate-to-severe group also tended to be lower than in the mild group ( Z=-1.95, P=0.051). Beta diversity differed significantly among the mild insomnia group, the moderate-to-severe insomnia group ( P<0.05), and the control group ( F=2.96, 3.12, both P<0.05). Random forest analysis identified Ruminococcus_D and Klebsiella as key microbial genera distinguishing between mild and moderate-to-severe insomnia. Inflammatory cytokine levels were significantly elevated in both insomnia groups compared to controls ( P<0.05). PSQI scores were negatively correlated with the Shannon index, the Observed species index, and the relative abundance of Ruminococcus_D ( r=-0.34, -0.30, and -0.25, respectively; all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression revealed that serum IL-1β (β=0.339, 95% CI=0.014-0.716, P=0.042) and Ruminococcus_D (β=-0.309, 95% CI=-194.591--8.318, P=0.034) were independent predictors of insomnia severity. Conclusion:Elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and reduced gut microbial richness may be closely associated with increased insomnia severity. Additionally, Ruminococcus_D and IL-1β may be important factors contributing to the severity of insomnia in affected individuals.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of pharmaceutical care in medical institutions in China， and provide experience and suggestions for better development of pharmaceutical care. METHODS Questionnaire survey was used to investigate the development of pharmaceutical care in medical institutions in 31 provinces （autonomous regions and municipalities directly） in March 2023， and descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression analysis on the influencing factors of pharmaceutical care were conducted. RESULTS A total of 1 368 questionnaires were sent out， and 1 304 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective recovery rate of 95.32%. Pharmaceutical care was carried out in 671 medical institutions （51.46%）， and the rates of pharmaceutical care in tertiary， secondary， primary and other medical institutions were 74.79%， 27.97% and 7.35%， respectively. The average number of patients receiving pharmaceutical care was 2 638.96 per year， and there were 8.33 pharmacists in each medical institution to carry out pharmaceutical care， among which 93.68% were clinical pharmacists. The main departments covered by pharmaceutical care services included respiratory and critical care medicine， cardiology， intensive care unit， endocrinology， oncology， gastroenterology， obstetrics and gynecology and other departments. There were only 48 medical institutions （7.15%） with additional compensation for pharmaceutical care services. The main experiences of developing pharmaceutical care were to pay attention to talent cultivation and discipline construction， but the main difficulties were serious shortage of staff and qualified talents， low compensation level and low enthusiasm. Grade of medical institutions， the number of pharmacists engaged in clinical pharmacy， the number of qualified clinical pharmacists and the degree of information in the pharmacy department were the main influencing factors for carrying out pharmaceutical care （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In recent years， pharmaceutical care in Chinese medical institutions has made certain progress， while that of primary medical institutions， secondary medical institutions and other medical institutions should be improved. In the future， it is still necessary to further enhance the implementation of pharmaceutical care， promote personnel training， and attach importance to demonstrating the value of pharmaceutical care， thereby promoting the sustainable and high- quality development of pharmaceutical care.
