20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid(20-HETE)and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids(EETs)are products of enzyme metabolism of arachidonic acid(AA)by cytochrome P450(CYP).20-HETE is mainly produced by CYP4A,CYP4F metabolism of AA,which has a certain toxic effect on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.EETS is mainly produced by CYP2J,CYP2C metabolizes AA,which has a certain protective effect on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.This article reviews the effects and mechanisms of drugs related to AA-CYP-HETE/EETs metabolic pathway on cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial hypertrophy,hypertension,heart failure,and myocardial infarction,in order to provide a reference for the clinical use of cardiovascular diseases and provide ideas and directions for the basic research and development of cardiovascular disease treatment drugs.

Child safety seats have been proven to be one of the most effective tools for protecting child passengers. However, the widespread phenomenon of safety seats being "unavailable," "owned but not used," or "used incorrectly" is prevalent globally. This paper aims to summarize the obstacles to the use of child safety seats from four aspects: Individual, society, environment and policy, in order to provide a basis for follow-up comprehensive intervention to ensure the safety of children.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tumor-treating fields (TTFields) and chemoradiation in patients with high-grade glioblastoma.Methods:Clinical data of 38 patients admitted to the Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from September 2021 to May 2023 who were diagnosed with high-grade glioblastoma (36 cases of World Health Organization grade Ⅳ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation after surgery. Response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria was used to evaluate the glioma responses as tumor remission, stable or progression. Common terminology criteria for adverse events v5.0 and TTFields related skin adverse reaction (dAE) criteria were used to evaluate the adverse events. Treatment compliance was assessed by data on the NovoTTF-200A therapeutic device, calculated as a percentage of daily TTFields usage time. Survival analysis was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test.Results:The median duration of treatment with TTFields in 38 patients was 20 h (rang: 2.4-22.6 h), and the median treatment compliance was 83% (range: 10%-94%). After 42 days of TTFields combined with concurrent chemoradiation, 12 patients who underwent complete tumor resection were assessed as stable according to RANO criteria. Among the 26 patients who underwent partial tumor resection, 23 (88%) were evaluated as disease remission according to RANO criteria. The 7-, 10-, 13-month progression-free survival rate was 81.0%、64.0%、49.5%, repectively. The common adverse events included grade 1 (45%) and grade 2 (8%) dAE, without grade 3-4 dAE. Typical presentations included contact dermatitis, blisters, lesions or ulcers, and abscesses. The median follow-up time was 10.0 months (range: 1.6-21.3 months). At follow-up as of July 2023, 26 of the 38 patients were stable and 12 had disease progression (8 died).Conclusion:The preliminary results show that TTFields combined with chemoradiation is effective, safe and reliable treatment for high-grade glioblastoma.

OBJECTIVE To create a highly effective algorithm for automatically generating easily confused drug catalogs （ECDC）， as well as to develop a management system for ECDC based on this algorithm， in order to improve the management efficiency of ECDC. METHODS This study， based on Levenshtein distance algorithm， delved deeply into the automatic identification mechanism of easily confused drugs and the screening method for determining similarity thresholds， ultimately leading to the development of an algorithm for automatically generating ECDC. Besides a management system was designed and developed， using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express as the data storage platform and Visual Basic.NET as the programming language. RESULTS The similarity threshold δ played a crucial role in the algorithm for automatically generating ECDC. As the value of δ gradually increased， the total count of easily confused drugs decreased gradually， while the count of drug groups exhibited a pattern of initially increasing and then decreasing. Practically， ECDC could be created using either the generic or varietal names of drugs， with corresponding similarity thresholds of 0.75 and 0.83. Furthermore， ECDC management system had significantly reduced the time required to establish a catalog from about one week to less than one hour， resulting in a substantial enhancement in work efficiency. CONCLUSIONS The algorithm used to automatically generate ECDC is highly efficient and rapid， offering robust technical assistance for the management of easily confused drugs. Implementing the ECDC system can greatly reduce the time cost related to building and maintaining the catalogs， thus significantly improving the efficiency of managing ECDC.

Objective To construct trajectory models of care-seeking patterns for type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients,analyze the influencing factors of different trajectories,and explore the fasting blood glucose control levels of T2DM patients with different trajectories.Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out on 18088 T2DM patients who had health records and been involved in the diabetic management in Community Health Service Center of Minhang District,Shanghai from 2006 to 2009.Starting from Jan 1,2010,participants were followed up until Dec 31,2019,with complete follow-up information.Group-based trajectory modelling(GBTM)was employed to identify and construct the fluctuation trajectory of fasting blood glucose in the patients.Bayesian information criterion(BIC),average posterior probability(AvePP)and other evaluation indicators were used to select the optimum subgroup number model.Then the differences in demographic characteristics,health status,family history,fasting blood glucose,BMI,etc were compared among different categories.Multinational logistic regression model was constructed to explore the influencing factors of different fluctuation trajectories.Cox regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the long-term trajectories of care-seeking patterns and fasting blood glucose control level.Results Using GBTM analysis,we constructed the optimal Model 4 to categorize 18088 T2DM patients with community health records into five distinct trajectory subgroups:continuous non-attendance group(22.29%),low-level increasing group(15.09%),high-level slowly decreasing group(14.18%),high-level rapidly decreasing group(14.90%),and continuous regular attendance group(33.54%).With the continuous regular attendance group serving as the reference,gender,age,place of residence,baseline comorbidity of hypertension,baseline fasting plasma glucose level,and BMI were found to influence the community attendance trajectories of T2DM patients(P<0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors,Cox regression analysis revealed that compared to the continuous non-attendance group,the low-level increasing group,high-level slowly decreasing group,and continuous regular attendance group had better glycemic control,with HRs of 0.37(95%CI:0.34-0.39),0.72(95%CI:0.67-0.78),and 0.78(95%CI:0.73-0.84),respectively.The glycemic control level in the high-level rapidly decreasing group was comparable,with an HR of 1.06(95%CI:0.99-1.12).Conclusion Based on the optimal model,the community medical treatment trajectories of T2DM patients showed different dynamic characteristics.Factors such as gender,residence,hypertension,and weight loss may influence these varying trajectories.Regular community visits and follow-up may help control blood glucose levels.

Objective Viral encephalitis is an infectious disease severely affecting human health.It is caused by a wide variety of viral pathogens,including herpes viruses,flaviviruses,enteroviruses,and other viruses.The laboratory diagnosis of viral encephalitis is a worldwide challenge.Recently,high-throughput sequencing technology has provided new tools for diagnosing central nervous system infections.Thus,In this study,we established a multipathogen detection platform for viral encephalitis based on amplicon sequencing. Methods We designed nine pairs of specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR)primers for the 12 viruses by reviewing the relevant literature.The detection ability of the primers was verified by software simulation and the detection of known positive samples.Amplicon sequencing was used to validate the samples,and consistency was compared with Sanger sequencing. Results The results showed that the target sequences of various pathogens were obtained at a coverage depth level greater than 20×,and the sequence lengths were consistent with the sizes of the predicted amplicons.The sequences were verified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST,and all results were consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing technology is feasible as a supplementary method for the pathogenic detection of viral encephalitis.It is also a useful tool for the high-volume screening of clinical samples.

Objective To observe the curative effect of comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)therapy for the treatment of refractory sudden hearing loss(i.e.,suffering sudden hearing loss more than 2 weeks),and to analyze the factors that may affect the prognosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 405 hospitalized patients with refractory sudden hearing loss who were treated in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from 2005 to 2022.The patients were all treated by comprehensive TCM therapy including oral administration of Chinese medicine,acupuncture,acupoint seed-pressing application after individualized syndrome differentiation.The overall clinical efficacy was evaluated,and the difference of efficacy in the patients with various courses of disease,degrees of deafness,types of hearing curve,concomitant symptoms and TCM syndrome types,having or not having previous treatment history was analyzed.Results For the 405 patients with refractory sudden hearing loss,the cure rate was 5.7％and the total effective rate was 28.1％.Among the 405 patients,the best efficacy was achieved in the patients with mild hearing loss,low-frequency decline type of hearing curve,and having no previous treatment history,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the efficacy of patients with different courses of disease,with or without concomitant symptoms,or with various syndrome types(P＞0.05).Conclusion The comprehensive TCM therapy has a certain effect on refractory sudden hearing loss.Patients with poor efficacy after conventional western medicine can still benefit from the comprehensive TCM therapy.

Objective To investigate disease characteristics and hospitalization costs of children with Mycoplasma Pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)admitted to Shanghai municipal medical hospitals from 2019 to 2023.Methods Depending on the Shanghai Municipal Hospital Pediatric Alliance,we retrospectively investigated community acquired MPP pediatric patients hospitalized in 22 municipal hospitals with pediatric qualifications(including 4 children's hospitals)in Shanghai from Jan 2019 to Dec 2023.We collected the patients'diagnosis codes,gender,age,length of hospital stay,hospitalization costs,and whether they progressed to severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(SMPP).Results From 2019 to 2023,a total of 29 045 hospitalized children with MPP were treated,with 6 035 cases(20.8%)identified as SMPP in the 22 hospitals.Trend analysis revealed a rising trend with years in the proportion of SMPP patients(χ2trend=365.498,P<0.001).Among the 4 children's hospitals,there were 18 710 cases with MPP,including 4 078 cases(21.8%)of SMPP.The proportion of SMPP patients also showed an increasing trend with years(χ2trend=14.548,P<0.001),and the proportion in 2023(23.0%)was higher than that in previous years with statistical significance.There were statistical differences in the seasonal distribution of MPP cases between different years,with higher proportions in summer and autumn overall.The age distribution of hospitalized MPP children varied among different years,with school-age children accounting for the majority(56.8%)in 2023.There was no difference in the distribution of severe cases between different genders,but there were differences in the proportion of severe cases among different age groups in different years,with a gradual increase in severe cases among children aged 1 to 3 years(χ2trend=191.567,P<0.001).The average length of hospital stay for MPP during the epidemic was higher than that during non-epidemic periods,and there were statistically significant differences in the average length of hospital stay between different years(P<0.001).The individual hospitalization costs during the epidemic were higher than in other years,and there were statistically significant differences in individual hospitalization costs between different years(P<0.001).The total hospitalization costs were still higher in 2019 and 2023.The individual hospitalization costs for SMPP were higher than for non-SMPP cases.Conclusion MPP outbreaks occurred in Shanghai in 2019 and 2023,with the higher proportions in summer and autumn overall.Compared to previous years,the number of hospitalized MPP children in Shanghai was higher in 2023,with a higher proportion of SMPP cases,especially among children under 3 years old.The individual per capita hospitalization expenses for SMPP cases were higher than for non-SMPP cases.

Objective To investigate the trends of major thyroid function indices in Chinese adolescent females at different ages and the differences from adult reference intervals.Methods A total of 791 female students from 4 junior high schools were enrolled in the study by selecting one junior high school in each of the following locations:Minhang District of Shanghai,Haimen City of Jiangsu Province,Yuhuan City of Zhejiang Province,and Deqing County of Zhejiang Province from Oct to Nov 2017 and from Jan to Mar 2019.The subjects were subjected to physical examination as well as thyroid hormone levels;and the Pubertal Developmental Events Self-Assessment Scale(PDS)was used to evaluate the staging of pubertal development.Follow-ups were conducted after 2 years,with the same survey content.Thyroid function levels were assessed in 5 age groups between 11 to 15 years old,95%CI were calculated,and mixed linear models were used to analyze the effects of age and pubertal developmental stage on hormone levels.Results The reference intervals for thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free triiodothyronine(FT3)and free thyroxine(FT4)in adolescent females differed significantly from those of adults,with misclassification rates ranging from 2.98%to 5.17%.Statistically significant differences were found for age,pubertal development staging,and the interaction of age and pubertal staging after correcting for BMI,waist circumference(all P<0.05).TSH levels were more affected by age before the completion of pubertal development,the level of the 12-year-old group was higher than that of the 11-year-old group(P=0.001 2)and the 13-year-old group(P<0.000 1);FT3 levels showed greater variability with age during late pubertal stage,with levels significantly higher at 13 years of age than at 11 and 12 years of age(P<0.0001),and gradually decreasing after 13 years of age(P<0.000 1).In contrast,FT4 levels were generally less affected by age between 11 and 15 years of age,with levels slightly higher at 13-15 years of age than at 11-12 years of age(P<0.000 1).Conclusion The levels of TSH,FT3,and FT4,as indicators of thyroid function in adolescent females,differ significantly from those of adults,and are differently affected by age and the stages of pubertal development;further refinement of the reference intervals for age-and pubertal-development-specific thyroid indicators is necessary.
