ObjectiveTo investigate the association between endothelin receptor type A gene （EDNRA） and congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens （CBAVD）. MethodsThis case-control study consisted of 124 subjects with CBAVD and 100 fertile controls.Two single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs： rs5335 and rs1801708） in the EDNRA gene were genotyped via PCR， PCR-RFLP analysis， and direct sequencing. ResultsNo significant differences existed between EDNRA polymorphisms and CBAVD phenotype （rs1801708： P=0.220 2， 0.163 2； rs5335： P=0.805 8， 0.818 6）. However， the rs1801708-rs5335 haplotype AG was notably associated with an increased risk of CBAVD （P=0.008 6， OR=2.178， 95% CI： 1.207-3.929）. A significantly protective effect of rs1801708-rs5335 haplotype GG on CBAVD （P=0.038 5， OR= 0.671， 95% CI： 0.460-0.980） was observed. After Bonferroni correction， the result for haplotype A-G remained significant （P =0.008 6<0.012 5）， while haplotype G-G was not significant. ConclusionThe rs1801708-rs5335 AG haplotype of EDNRA is a potential risk factor for CBAVD development in Han Chinese.

Objective To explore the effects of glycyrrhizic polysaccharide(GP)on the biological activity of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma tumor cells and its mechanisms of anti-tumor action.Methods GP was prepared,and human adenoid cystic carcinoma high-metastatic cell line SACC-LM and low-metastatic cell line SACC-83 were used as target cells.Different concentrations of GP were used for intervention.The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was employed to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis.Reverse transcrip-tion polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot experiments were conducted to detect the expression of genes and proteins related to tumor invasion and metastasis.The scratch assay was used to observe the effect of GP on the migration ability of SACC cells.In vivo experiments were conducted to verify the inhibitory effect of GP on tumor cells.Results Glycyrrhiza polysaccharides signifi-cantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of the highly metastatic human adenoid cystic carcinoma cell line SACC-LM by regulating the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related markers.In vivo experiments showed that glycyrrhiza poly-saccharides had no significant hepatotoxicity,could significantly reduce the volume and weight of tumors,and inhibit the growth rate of tumors in nude mice.Conclusion GP has a certain inhibitory effect on the growth and migration ability of SACC.

Objective:To investigate the current status and challenges of pediatric life support training in China and provide references for improving training quality.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from pediatric life support training centers across the country，covering basic institutional information，training capacity and training faculty，training program funding，as well as existing challenges and issues.The domestic registry of training centers in 2023 was obtained through the American Heart Association's online platform.After contacting and verifying each center，an online questionnaire was distributed，and the aggregated data were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 42 institutions participated in the survey，including 19 children's hospitals，14 general hospitals，6 maternal and child health hospitals，2 women and children’s hospitals，and 1 training institution.The distribution of training centers showed a concentration in coastal areas，with the top three provinces/municipalities being Guangdong（7/42，16.7%），Zhejiang（6/42，14.3%），and Shanghai（4/42，9.5%）.As of December 31 2023，the 42 institutions had an annual basic life support（BLS）training volume of 8 587 individuals，the median was 120 (100,200)，and an annual pediatric advanced life support（PALS）training volume of 2 448 individuals，the median was 30 (20,50).Among the 42 institutions，there were 598 BLS instructors and 306 PALS instructors.Among the surveyed institutions，24（24/42，57.1%）reported BLS instructor teams comprising fewer than 10 members，and 33（33/42，78.6%）reported PALS instructor teams comprising fewer than 10.Only 7 centers(7/42,16.7%）reported having dedicated funding support.The top three challenges were：training sessions occupying instructors’personal time（27/42，64.3%），low instructor compensation（16/42，38.1%），and issues with the data submission system（16/42，38.1%）.Conclusion:Pediatric life support training centers in China are primarily children’s hospitals，with a geographical concentration in coastal areas，which is also reflected in the distribution of training scale and instructor resources.Most centers have relatively small training scales and limited instructor capacity，with many instructors conducting training during their personal time.These issues may hinder the implementation and effectiveness of training programs.

In T2DM patients with aged ≥70 years, the total cholesterol, LDL-C, 2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin after intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); there were no statistical difference in triacylglycerol, HDL-C and fasting blood glucose between before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05); the control rate of blood glucose after intervention was significantly higher than that before intervention: 48.2% (41/85) vs. 22.4% (19/85), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in the control rates of BMI, blood pressure and blood lipid between before intervention and after intervention ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The intervention based on MMC mode management could effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM, especially for patients with aged <70 years. However, additional health guidance is needed for patients with aged ≥ 70 years to further enhance their health benefits.

Objective:To evaluate preoperative high-resolution thin-layer cervical enhanced CT used to predict the venous route of the submental flap reflux vein and its relationship with adjacent structures in order to guide the anatomical understanding and protection of submental flap in pharyngeal cancer surgery.Methods:Sixty consecutive patients with pharyngeal cancer who underwent submental flap repair surgery in our department from March 2022 to December 2024, as well as 60 patients who were accepted neck dissection suffering other cancers, were selected. Before surgery, high-resolution cervical enhanced CT scans were performed, and the position of the transverse section of the facial vein in the venous phase horizontal image gradually variation tendency was focused layer by layer. The direction and adjacent relationship of the submental flap reflux veins were determined and recorded. Combined with 60 patients with other head and neck tumors who underwent neck dissection in our department during the same period (a total of 120 cases, 240 sides), the classification and management of the draining veins of Fang′s mental flap were conducted. Type Ⅰ mainly drains into the internal jugular vein; Type Ⅱ mainly drains into the external jugular vein and Type Ⅲ mainly drains into the anterior jugular vein (often accompanied by an external jugular draining branch). The status and proportion of venous drainage were analyzed.Results:Vascular predictive coincidence rate was 98.3% (59/60) among the 60 patients with pharyngeal cancer. Only one patient was predicted to have a simple return to the external jugular vein. However, during the operation, in addition to the main return to the external jugular vein, a small portion also returned to the internal jugular vein. Submental flap reflux vessels were classified into three types based on intraoperative submental flap venous return in 60 cases of laryngopharyngeal cancer, in conjunction with the analysis of venous return patterns from 240 cervical CT scans. Type Ⅰ mainly refluxed to the internal jugular vein, accounting for 42.1%. Type Ⅱ mainly refluxed to the external jugular vein (47.9%). Type Ⅲ mainly refluxed to the anterior jugular vein (10.0%). The total detection rate of CT reading of 240 venous reflux was 98.7% (237/240). Vascular predictive coincidence rate was 97.9%(235/240).Conclusion:The detailed analysis of submental venous return vessels can accurately predict the direction of reflux veins and its surrounding areas by preoperative high-resolution enhanced CT scan. This provides reliable guidance for the anatomy and protection of the submental flap reflux veins during surgery.

Objective To design and evaluate the clinical application efficacy of a novel bilateral-separation endotracheal tube fixation device and provide references for clinical practice.Methods Using convenient sampling,60 patients from the Neurological Intensive Care Unit of a tertiary-level hospital in Zhengzhou were selected from May to December 2024.Patients were randomly divided into an experimental group(n=30)and a control group(n=30).The experimental group utilized the novel bilateral-separation endotracheal tube fixation device,while the control group employed traditional bandage fixation methods.Differences in fixation time,tube displacement,and intubation duration were compared between the 2 groups.Results The experimental group demonstrated significantly shorter tube fixation times compared to the control group(P＜0.05).However,no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups regarding intubation duration and tube displacement(P＞0.05).Conclusion The novel bilateral-separation endotracheal tube fixation device can reduce tube fixation time for patients in neurological intensive care and enhance nurse satisfaction.Despite not showing advantages in preventing tube displacement,the device still presents promising potential for broad clinical application.

Objective:To analyze the changes of chronic disease treatment cost in Shanxi,to clarify priorities in chronic disease prevention and control,and provide recommendations for optimizing chronic disease prevention policies.Methods:"SHA 2011"accounting framework was used to measure the change of chronic disease treatment costs.Results:The proportion of chronic diseases in treatment cost remained at about 70%.The proportion of chronic disease treatment cost in general hospital is the highest.The proportion of chronic disease treatment expenses of 45-59 years old is second only to that of 60-74 years old.The proportion of treatment expenses for circulatory diseases should be kept above 25%;the main sources of financing is social medical insurance.Conclusion:The avoidable hospitalization cost of chronic diseases is high.The cost of chronic disease treatment is becoming younger.The health financing structure of chronic diseases tends to be reasonable.In order to further improve the prevention and control effect of chronic diseases and the efficiency of the use of chronic disease resources in Shanxi,it is necessary to improve the effectiveness of key policies,reduce the incidence of chronic diseases;improve the medical insurance reimbursement policy,optimize the use of inpatient services;strengthen the urban medical alliances,guide key groups to seek medical treatment reasonably;optimize the financial compensation and medical insurance payment policy,and improve the multi-channel financing mechanism
