Objective:To study the epidemiological characteristics and clinical diagnosis of human brucellosis in Qujing City, Yunnan Province.Methods:Through the Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, the basic information and clinical diagnostic data of brucellosis cases reported in Qujing City from January 2008 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemic profile, three distribution characteristics (time, population, region), and diagnosis of brucellosis.Results:A total of 1 417 brucellosis cases were reported in Qujing City from 2008 to 2023, with no death. The annual average incidence of brucellosis was 1.49/100 000, with no cases reported in 2009 and 2010, and the highest incidence in 2023 (7.82/100 000). The incidence of brucellosis showed an increasing trend year by year (χ 2trend = 1 874.58, P < 0.001). The number of cases from June to November accounted for 61.54% (872/1 417). The majority of brucellosis cases were in the age group of 36 - 65 years old, accounting for 67.82% (961/1 417). Among them, there were 954 males and 463 females, with a gender ratio of 2.06 ∶ 1.00. Farmers were the main occupation, accounting for 84.33% (1 195/1 417). The cases were mainly distributed in Luliang County (621 cases), Xuanwei City (282 cases) and Shizong County (137 cases), accounting for 73.39% (1 040/1 417). The median interval between onset and diagnosis was 13 days, and the cases with intervals ≤7 d, 8 - 30 d, and ≥31 d accounted for 32.11% (455/1 417), 40.16% (569/1 417), and 27.73% (393/1 417), respectively. Totally 63.94% (906/1 417) of the cases were confirmed in medical institutions in Qujing City. Conclusions:The incidence of brucellosis in Qujing City is increasing year by year, with men, middle-aged and elderly people and farmers as the main population, summer and autumn as the peak period, and Luliang County, Xuanwei City and Shizong County as the high incidence areas. Most cases have an interval of less than 30 days between onset and diagnosis, and can be diagnosed within the jurisdiction.

Objective:To study the effects of remimazolam on stress response index, T lymphocyte subsets and postoperative delirium in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy.Methods:A total of 120 patients with breast cancer who underwent modified radical mastectomy in our hospital from Aug. 2024 to Dec. 2024 were separated into the control group (n=60, anesthetic induction and maintenance with Propofol) and the observation group (n=60, anesthetic induction and maintenance with remimazolam) according to random number table method, and the other anesthetic drugs were the same. The operation time, anesthesia recovery time, postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction of the two groups were observed, and the changes of stress response indexes and T lymphocyte subsets indexes at different time points were compared, and the adverse reactions after anesthesia were counted.Results:The incidence of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( x2=4.62, 5.18, P < 0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in operation time or anesthesia recovery time between the two groups ( t=0.43, 1.71, P > 0.05). The observation group had lower serum cortisol (Cor), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) levels 30 min after anesthesia induction (T 1) and immediately after surgery (T 2) ( t=5.53, 6.71, 9.33, 6.74, 7.26, 8.77, P < 0.05), while the comparison of those indexes before surgery (T 0) and 12 h after surgery (T 3) showed no statistically significant difference ( t=1.19, 1.85, 0.90, 1.55, 1.64, 1.81, P > 0.05). The levels of CD3 +T, CD4 +T and CD4 +/CD8 + in the observation group were higher than those in the control group at T 1, T 2 and T 3 ( t=2.21, 4.94, 4.77, 4.44, 6.24, 7.07, 2.11, 2.56, 2.15, P < 0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in those indexes between the two groups at T 0 ( t=0.76, 0.79, 1.51, P > 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions after anesthesia showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups [25.00% (15/60) and 33.33% (20/60) ] ( χ2=1.008, P > 0.05) . Conclusion:The induction and maintenance of remimazolam anesthesia can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction in patients with modified radical mastectomy, relieve the body stress response of patients, and effectively reduce the influence of anesthesia on T lymphocytes.

Objective:To analyze the clinical data and results of prenatal diagnosis for fetuses with high-risk for trisomy/monosomy 13 by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).Methods:Clinical data of pregnant women with fetus at a high risk for trisomy/monosomy 13 by NIPT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2016 to May 2024 were reviewed, and relevant data such as Z-score, positive predictive value (PPV) and fetal fraction (FF) were analyzed to assess the correlation between them. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Hospital (No. 2018-YB-08). Results:71 fetuses were found to have a high risk by NIPT, including 58 cases for trisomy 13 (T13) and 13 cases for monosomy 13 (M13). 52 women had opted invasive prenatal diagnosis and 13 cases were confirmed, which yielded a positive prediction value (PPV) of 25%. 12 fetuses were confirmed as T13 (PPV = 29.3%; 12/41), 1 was confirmed as M13 (PPV = 9.1%; 1/11). The PPV had increased along with the Z-score. Fetal faction (FF) was not correlated with the age of woman but gestational age, and was negatively correlated with the body mass index. No statistical difference was found in FF and Z-score between true- and false-positive fetuses, and there was a weak correlation between the Z-score and FF. The PPV of the NIPT could be improved by combining the results of ultrasonography. Conclusion:The high false positive rate for T13 may be related to confined placental mosaicism, PPV is related to the Z-score, which in turn is related to FF. High-risk women are strongly recommended to undergo genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. Clinicians should consider relevant information such as the age of women, gestational age, indication for prenatal screening, Z-score, PPV, and FF in order to accurately interpret the result of NIPT, reduce anxiety, and avoid direct termination of the pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with GP (gemcitabine+cisplatin) regimen in the treatment of advanced triple-negative breast cancer refractory to anthracyclines and taxanes chemotherapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Fifty two patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer refractory to anthracyclines and taxanes chemotherapy in Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Nantong University from January 2019 to June 2022 were selected. According to follow-up treatment methods, they were divided into the treatment group of anlotinib combined with GP regimen (observation group) and the treatment group of GP regimen alone (control group), with 26 cases in each group. The short-term efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 after 2 cycles of treatment, and the adverse reactions were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0 after each treatment cycle. Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and log-rank test was performed for inter group comparison. The scores of various dimensions of SF-36 quality of life scale before and after treatment were compared.Results:All 52 enrolled patients were able to evaluate the therapeutic effect. The objective response rate (ORR) of the observation group was 38.5% (10/26), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 84.6% (22/26). The ORR of the control group was 19.2% (5/26), and the DCR was 57.7% (15/26). The ORR and DCR of the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 10.82 and 7.18, respectively, both P < 0.05). The PFS [median PFS time, 5.4 months (95% CI: 5.0-5.8 months) vs. 3.9 months (95% CI: 3.6-4.2 months)] and OS [median OS time, 14.0 months (95% CI: 12.1-17.8 months) vs. 9.2 months (95% CI: 7.9-11.3 months)] of the observation group were better than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the incidence of hypertension [57.7% (15/26) vs. 3.8% (1/26)] and hand-foot syndrome [23.1% (6/26) vs. 0 (0/26)] in the observation group was higher (both P < 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of nausea and vomiting, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, bleeding, hyperbilirubinemia, fatigue, oral mucositis, and alopecia between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The scores of each dimension of the SF-36 quality of life scale in both groups of patients after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all P < 0.05), and the scores of each dimension in the observation group were higher than those in the control group after treatment (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Anlotinib combined with GP regimen is effective in the treatment of advanced triple-negative breast cancer refractory to anthracyclines and taxanes chemotherapy, this regimen will not significantly increase the adverse reactions of chemotherapy and can improve the prognosis and the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To identify the serotype and genotype characteristics of the first cluster infection of Brucella in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. Methods:The information of seven suspected cluster brucellosis cases reported in Lanping County, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in April 2023 were collected, blood samples were collected, and the strains were isolated and cultured. Serological methods were employed for brucellosis diagnosis, bacterial species identification was performed using BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR. Multilocus locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) was conducted for strain genotyping, followed by phylogenetic analysis comparing the strains with those from other regions of China.Results:All seven cases were diagnosed with brucellosis, they were all villagers from the same village and had daily contact with sheeps. Four suspected Brucella strains were isolated, identified as Brucella melitensis biotype by BCSP31-PCR and AMOS-PCR. The four isolated strains exhibited identical MLVA-16 genotype, with MLVA-8 genotype 42 and MLVA-11 genotype 180, belonging to the Eastern Mediterranean lineage. Compared with the MLVA-16 of the isolated strains from other regions of China, the four isolated strains formed an independent cluster. Conclusion:The first cluster infection of Brucella in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province is caused by Brucella melitensis biotype, and the four isolated strains have showed unique MLVA genotype.

Objective:To learn about the geographical distribution and bio-tying diversity characteristics of Brucella strains isolated in Yunnan Province. Methods:From March 2017 to December 2023, 516 suspected Brucella strains were collected from brucellosis surveillance sites and hospitals in Yunnan Province, and Yunnan Institute of Endemic Disease Control and Prevention. The Brucella isolates were confirmed to genus level by BCSP31-PCR, and subsequently identified to species and biovar level using conventional biotyping methods and AMOS-PCR. The geographical distribution of the strains was visualized using ArcGIS 10.8 software, simultaneously analyze the general characteristics of brucellosis patients. Results:Among the 516 suspected Brucella strains, 514 strains were isolated from patient blood samples and 2 strains were isolated from sheep blood samples. BCSP31-PCR identification showed that all strains were Brucella spp. The results of conventional biotyping and AMOS-PCR identification revealed that the isolates comprised 514 Brucella melitensis strains (16 strains of Brucella melitensis biovar 1 and 498 strains of Brucella melitensis biovar 3), one Brucella abortus (biovar 1) strain, and one Brucella canis strain. The strain was distributed in 69 counties/cities of 13 prefectures/cities in Yunnan Province, involving 390 administrative villages in 186 townships. Brucella melitensis was the dominant epidemic strain, and the largest number of Brucella melitensis was distributed in Kunming City( n = 205), followed by Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture ( n = 98) and Qujing City ( n = 72). Brucella abortus was only distributed in Lincang City ( n = 1), and Brucella canis was distributed Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture ( n = 1). The age range of 514 brucellosis patients ranged from 10 months to 88 years, with the majority being between 40 and 60 years old (52.72%, 271/514). The predominant occupational group was farmers (89.11%, 458/514), followed by students (5.06%, 26/514). Conclusion:Brucella exhibits a wide distribution and species/biovar diversity in Yunnan Province, with infection among the farming population emerging as a serious public health problem in the area.
