ObjectiveTo analyze the reported cases of infectious diseases across different tiers of public medical and healthcare institutions in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2013 to 2023, to investigate the status and changes in reported infectious diseases in this district from a temporal, etiological, and demographic perspectives, so as to provide a scientific basis for the construction of a hierarchica early-warning surveillance system under the grading diagnosis and treatment model in medical institutions, as well as for optimizing sentinel surveillance at facilities of different levels. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed using surveillance data from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System in Minhang District from 2013 to 2023. Reported infectious diseases were categorized into three categories based on transmission routes: respiratory infectious diseases, intestinal infectious diseases, and sexually transmitted and blood borne infectious diseases. According to the implementation phase of the grading diagnosis and treatment policy, the research time was divided into four time periods: 2013‒2016, 2017‒2019, 2020‒2022, and 2023. The distribution and temporal changes of reported cases of infectious diseases were compared across community health service centers (CHCs), secondary hospitals, tertiary grade-A hospitals and tertiary grade-B hospitals. Chi-square test was used for univariate analysis of differences in the number of reported cases. Quantitative data with normal distribution were analyzed using parametric tests, otherwise, Kruskal⁃Wallis H tests were used. ResultsThe proportions of total reported cases of infectious diseases in medical institutions at all levels in Minhang District, Shanghai from 2013 to 2023 were 10.66% in CHCs, 9.10% in secondary hospitals, 64.95% in tertiary grade-B hospitals, and 15.29% in tertiary grade-A hospitals, with an overall decline and then rebound trend in the reported cases. After the implementation of grading diagnosis and treatment policy, the number of reported cases in CHCs and secondary hospitals showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, while that in tertiary grade-B hospitals showed a steady decreasing trend and that in tertiary grade-A hospitals showed an increasing trend. In terms of the research periods divided above, a total of 10 392 cases were reported in 2013‒2016 (70.34% from tertiary grade-B hospitals and 12.59% from CHCs), including 2 922 cases of respiratory infectious diseases, 1 241 cases of intestinal infectious diseases, and 6 229 cases of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infectious diseases. Between 2017 and 2019, a total of 6 967 cases were reported (73.49% from tertiary grade-B hospitals and 11.84% from tertiary grade-A hospitals), including 2 983 cases of respiratory infectious diseases, 279 cases of intestinal infectious diseases, and 3 705 cases of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infectious diseases. Between 2020 and 2022, a total of 4 599 cases were reported (69.92% from tertiary grade-B hospitals and 24.57% from tertiary grade-A hospitals), including 1 627 cases of respiratory infectious diseases, 123 cases of intestinal infectious diseases, and 2 849 cases of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infectious diseases. In 2023, a total of 4 648 cases were reported (35.20% from tertiary grade-B hospitals and 27.50% from tertiary grade-A hospitals), including 3 165 cases of respiratory infectious diseases, 69 cases of intestinal infectious diseases, and 1 414 cases of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infectious diseases. The proportion of reported cases from tertiary grade-B hospitals was the highest in all the four research periods, but exhibited an obvious decrease in 2023. The differences in the reported cases of infectious diseases with different transmission routes among medical institutions at all levels were statistically significant (χ²=3 225.628, P<0.05). The differences in the mean age of patients among medical institutions at all levels were statistically significant (H=1 325.927, P<0.05). ConclusionThere are significant differences in the number of reported cases of infectious disease in the medical institutions at different levels. Tertiary grade-B hospitals have historically dominated the number of reported cases, but its share has declined recently. Whereas, CHCs and tertiary grade-A hospitals have played an increasingly important role in the surveillance and early warning of respiratory and intestinal infectious diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to leverage the strengths of grading diagnosis and treatment to establish targeted sentinel sites and deploy specialized teams tailored to the epidemiological characteristics of specific disease categories.

Objective:Based on the stress process theory, the influencing factors and pathways of social alienation among young and middle-aged patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) were explored, so as to provide evidence for healthcare professionals to develop targeted interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select young and middle-aged MHD patients from Nanyang Central Hospital between October 2023 and April 2024. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a General Information Questionnaire, the General Alienation Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, the Social Impact Scale.Results:A total of 307 questionnaires were distributed, and 296 valid questionnaires were returned, with an effective response rate of 96.4%. Among the 296 participants, 190 were male and 106 were female; 124 were aged 18-45 years, and 172 were aged 46-59 years. The score of social alienation in young and middle-aged MHD patients was (40.79 ± 7.67). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed that education level, monthly household income per capita, duration of dialysis, number of chronic comorbidities, fatigue level, stigma, perceived social support, yielding coping style, avoidance coping style were significant influencing factors of social alienation in young and middle-aged MHD patients ( t values were -3.43-6.05, all P<0.05). The pathways analysis indicated that stigma, yielding coping style, and avoidance coping style had direct positive effects on social alienation in young and middle-aged MHD patients, with the effect values of 0.441, 0.286, 0.166, respectively (all P<0.05); perceived social support had a direct negative effect, with the effect value of -0.210 ( P<0.05); stigma and perceived social support exerted indirect effects on social alienation, with the effect values of 0.216, -0.108, respectively (both P<0.05). Conclusions:A relatively high level of social alienation was observed among young and middle-aged MHD patients, indicating an urgent need for improvement. Healthcare professionals should prioritize interventions targeting patient stigma. Enhancing perceived social support, offering psychological counseling, and teaching stress-coping strategies may help reduce maladaptive coping behaviors, thereby alleviating social alienation and promoting social reintegration.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of Kanglaite injection assisted with camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. METHODS A total of 192 patients with advanced NSCLC and hospitalized in the TCM oncology department of our hospital from January 1st， 2018 to December 1st， 2022 were retrospectively selected as the study objects， and were divided into observation group （additional use， n＝104） and control group （without additional use， n＝88） according to whether the patients additionally received Kanglaite injection based on camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy （carboplatin+pemetrexed）. The short-term therapeutic effects of 2，4 and 6 cycles were compared between the two groups. The levels of peripheral blood immune function indexes and serum tumor markers were compared before treatment， after 3 cycles of treatment and after treatment. The long-term therapeutic effects as well as the occurrence of adverse drug reaction（ADR） during hospitalization were compared between the two groups. RESULTS After 3 treatment cycles and at the end of treatment， the CD4+ T lymphocyte ratio and CD4+/CD8+ in the observation group were notably greater than the control group （P＜0.05）； the levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 were significantly lower than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. The overall survival of the observation group was significantly longer than that of the control group （P＜0.05）， and the median overall survival was （185.27±38.21） d and （132.11±34.23） d， respectively. There were no significant differences in the whole ADR and grade ≥3 ADR between the two groups during hospitalization（P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Based on camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy， the addition of Kanglaite injection can enhance immunological response and prolong overall survival in advanced NSCLC patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of urinary exosomal microRNA(miR)-29 c in the clinical outcome of organ-and non-organ-confined bladder urothelial carcinoma(BUC).Methods From January 2017 to March 2022,152 patients with BUC were recruited from the Department of Urology in our hospital as a validation set.In addition,126 non-cancer controls were selected from the physical examination center of our hospital.The expression level of urinary exosomal miR-29c was detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results In the validation set,urinary exosomal miR-29c level in BUC patients was significantly lower than that in non-cancer control group(P＜0.05),while urinary exosomal miR-17-5p level and miR-590-5p level were not significantly different(P＞0.05).The area under ROC curve of urinary exosomal miR-29c for the diagnosis of BUC was 0.969(95％CI:0.953～0.986),and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 92.1％and 90.2％,respectively.In subtype analysis,urinary exosomal miR-29c levels were further reduced in patients with non-organ-confined BUC compared with patients with organ-confined BUC(P=0.009).Overall survival(OS),disease-free survival(DFS)and disease-specific survival(DSS)were longer in the urinary exosomal miR-29c high expression group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Low levels of urinary exosomal miR-29c are an adverse prognostic factor for survival in patients with BUC,and are promising as a predictor of adverse clinical outcomes of organ-and non-organ-confined BUC.

Background Permethrin is a commonly used pyrethroid insecticide and has been found to be potentially neurotoxic. Microglia are innate immune cells in the central nervous system and are involved in the development of a range of neurodegenerative diseases. Objective To observe possible toxic effects of permethrin on human microglia clone 3 (HMC3) in vitro and explore associated mechanism. Methods HMC3 were treated with 0, 10, 25, and 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin for 72 h. Cell cycle and apoptosis were measured using flow cytometry. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A), cyclin B2 (CCNB2), cellular tumor antigen p53 (p53), factor-related apoptosis (FAS), caspase 3 (CASP3), and H2A histone family member X (H2AX) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The differential genes and enrichment pathways of HMC3 after 0 and 25 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin treatment was analyzed by RNA sequencing. HMC3 was treated by 0, 10, 25, and 55 μmol· L⁻¹ permethrin for 72 h. The content of nitric oxide (NO) in the supernatant was detected using Griess reagent. The secretion level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway (including MAPK1, MAPK8, and MAPK14), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) families (including MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, and MMP9) were detected by qPCR. The protein expressions of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-p38), phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), IL-1β, IL-6, and MMP1 were detected by Western blot. Results HMC3 was arrested in G2/M phase after 0, 10, 25, and 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin treatment for 72 h, of which there was a statistically significant difference between the 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin treatment group and the control group (P<0.01), and the mRNA expression of CDKN1A was up-regulated according to the qPCR (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the proportions of apoptosis between the groups (P＞0.05). The RNA sequencing showed that the differential genes were enriched in the MAPK pathway, and the mRNA expressions of MAPK1, MAPK8, and MAPK14 were up-regulated after the permethrin treatment at 55 μmol·L⁻¹ compared to the control group by qPCR (P<0.05). The Western blot revealed that, compared to the control group, the levels of p-p38 and p-ERK were increased after the 10 μmol·L⁻¹ permetrin treatment (P<0.05), the p-ERK level was increased after the 25 μmol·L⁻¹ permetrin treatment (P<0.05), and the p-p38 level was up-regulated after the 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permetrin treatment (P<0.05). The secretion of NO in the supernatant of HMC3 increased after permetrin treatment compared to the control group (P<0.05), the mRNA and protein expressions and the secretion of IL-6 showed an upward trend, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-1β were up-regulated (P<0.05), and the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP1 were up-regulated in the 25 and 55 μmol·L⁻¹ permethrin groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Permethrin inhibits HMC3 cell proliferation in vitro, induces cell cycle arrest, activates MAPK pathway, and promotes the expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β and MMP1, which may be one of the mechanism of neurotoxicity induced by permethrin.

  Objective  To investigate the predictive value of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score combined with liver function index and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.  Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment in the Second Hospital & Clinical Medical Hospital, Lanzhou University from January 2016 to July 2021 and were followed up for 24 months. According to the follow-up results, the enrolled patients were divided into liver metastasis group and non-liver metastasis group, and were randomly divided into modeling group and validation group by a ratio of 2∶1. The risk factors of liver metastasis in the patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed. Lasso-Logistic regression was used to construct the prediction model. Bootstrap method was used for internal verification. Receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve and clinical decision curve were used to evaluate the reliability of the prediction model. Finally, a nomogram was drawn to show the prediction results.  Results  A total of 195 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled, including 130 in the modeling group and 65 in the validation group. Through Lasso regression variable screening and Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that ALBI score(OR=8.062, 95% CI: 2.545-25.540), alanine transaminase (ALT) (OR=1.037, 95% CI: 1.004-1.071) and CEA (OR=1.025, 95% CI: 1.008-1.043) were independent predictors of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer. The area under curve (AUC) of the combined prediction of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer in the modeling group was 0.921, the sensitivity was 78%, the specificity was 95%, the C-index was 0.921, the H-L fitting curve χ²=0.851, P=0.654, and the slope of the calibration curve was close to 1, suggesting that the accuracy of the model was high, and the DCA curve showed that the model had good clinical application value. For the data of the modeling group, the Bootstrap method was used for internal verification of 1000 resamplings. The accuracy was 0.869, the kappa consistency was 0.709, and the AUC was 0.913. When ALBI score, ALT and CEA were used to diagnose liver metastasis of colorectal cancer alone, the AUC of CEA was the largest (0.897), and the combination of the three had the highest efficacy in the diagnosis of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. In the validation group, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, C-index of the combined prediction of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer were 0.918, 85.0%, 95.6%, 0.918, respectively, and H-L fitting curve χ²=0.586, P=0.746.  Conclusions  ALBI score, ALT and CEA have certain predictive value for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. The combined diagnosis of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer has high efficacy, and the risk prediction model constructed has a good predictive effect.

Objective To establish an index system for assessing the quality of hospital accreditation data and determine the hierarchical weights of indices at different levels,providing a reference for enhancing the governance of such data.Methods A quality assessment system for hospital accreditation data was developed using literature analysis method and Delphi method.The analytic hierarchy process was employed to create a pairwise comparison judgment matrix to determine the weights of indices.Results An evaluation system was constructed with the following levels:"Indicator Screening Quality-Data Reporting Quality-Data Quality Control Quality-Data On-Site Verification Quality."The system includes 4 first-level indicators and 18 second-level indicators.The indicator with the highest weight among the first-level indicators was Data Reporting Quality(0.496 5),followed by Data Quality Control Quality(0.313 2).Among the second-level indicators,Timeliness(0.428 6)and Cooperation(0.428 6)had the highest weights.Conclusion The establishment of the quality evaluation system of hospital accreditation da-ta is a strategy to optimize the control of hospital accreditation data quality and is beneficial for continuous improvement of hospital accreditation data quality.

Streptococcus parasuis(S.parasuis)is a close relative of S.suis and can cause meningi-tis,pneumonia or systemic symptoms in affected animals.In this paper,the dominant strain was i-solated from diseased pigs with pneumonia in Jilin,China,and the isolated strain was identified as S.parasuis by 16S rRNA,it was named WYF-8B.Resistance was tested by the susceptibility tablet diffusion method,and WYF-8B was resistant to bacitracin,sulfamethoxoprim,lincomycin,erythro-mycin,fosfamycin,azithromycin,penicillin,doxycycline,cotrimotrixazole,sulfamisoxazole,cipro-floxacin,enrofloxacin,tetracycline,benzoxacillin,gentamicin,efazolin,and ampicillin.It was highly sensitive to florfenicol,chloramphenicol.Iochemical identification revealed that WYF-8B could fer-ment salicylic acid,maltose,lactose,sucrose,oxaesin,and glucose;nonfermentable mannitol,urea,raffinose,xylose,arabinose,and sorbitol.Using the second-generation whole-genome sequencing technology to study the WYF-8B resistant genotype,it was found that it carried the macrolide anti-biotic resistance genes Mef(E)and ErmB;resistance genes pbp2b,pbp1a,and pbp2x to β-lactam antibiotics;resistance genes gyrA,parC,and grlB to fluoroquinolones;resistance genes ANT(6)-Ia,AAC(6')-Ie-APH(2')-Ia,ANT(9)-Ia,APH(3')-Ⅲa to aminoglycoside antibiotics;re-sistance groups lnuB,lmrC,lmrD against lincomide antibiotics;resistance gene tetM to tetracy-cline antibiotics;the resistance gene of bacitracin,bcrA.The results found that the resistance phe-notype matches the resistance genotype of the sequencing results.The study of WYF-8B virulence factors found that WYF-8B carried 13 virulence factors(pavA,fbp 54,clpP,cps 4,cps 4 I,wbtB,cps,sI,tufA,galE,hasC,groEL,wrbtL,wbbtF),which mainly acted to promote bacterial diffu-sion,transfer,settlement,antiphagocytosis and immune evasion.The results of drug sensitivity test provide a reference for the study of clinical medication of S.parasuis,and drug resistance pheno-type and virulence factors lay the foundation for the research and development of new drugs and vaccines.
