Objective:To review and analyze the results of cervical cancer screening for women aged 30-65 years in Tianjin from 2018—2023, and to explore the choice of cervical cancer screening strategies.Methods:The results of free cervical cancer screening in Tianjin from January 2018 to December 2023 were collected and divided into two periods: group A [2018—2020; screening programs included cervical cytology, Thinprep cytologic test (TCT), and human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA+TCT combined screening] and group B (2021—2023; the screening scheme of HPV E6/E7 mRNA primary screening and TCT diversion, referred to as “HPV E6/E7 mRNA primary screening”) according to the policy changes, and according to the primary screening method of cervical cancer, it was divided into four methods: cervical smear primary screening, TCT primary screening, HPV DNA+TCT combined primary screening and HPV E6/E7 mRNA primary screening. Cervical cancer and precancerous lesion detection rate, cervical cancer early diagnosis rate were analyzed.Results:(1) A total of 1 634 155 women of eligible age were screened, and the detection rate of cervical cancer and precancerous lesion was 216.3/100 000 (3 535/1 634 155), among which the detection rate of precancerous lesion was 200.3/100 000 (3 274/1 634 155) and cervical cancer was 16.0/100 000 (261/1 634 155). (2) The cervical cancer and precancerous lesion detection rate and cancer early diagnosis rate in group B were significantly higher than those in group A [480.3/100 000 (2 132/443 924) vs 117.9/100 000 (1 403/1 190 231), 97.56% (2 080/2 132) vs 92.37% (1 296/1 403); both P<0.001]. (3) The detection rates of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions in women who underwent initial screening with cervical cytology, TCT, HPV DNA+TCT combined screening, and HPV E6/E7 mRNA screening were 106.8/100 000 (10 980/1 028 227), 167.7/100 000 (190/113 319), 236.2/100 000(115/48 685) and 480.3/100 000 (2 132/443 924), respectively. HPV E6/E7 mRNA primary screening had the highest cervical cancer and precancerous lesion detection rate among the four screening methods ( χ2=2 017.59, P<0.001). Conclusion:After 2021, the cervical cancer screening method of HPV E6/E7 mRNA primary screening and TCT triage adopted in Tianjin is suitable for general screening of large populations and is an effective method for initial screening of cervical cancer.

Objective:To examine the interaction between gender and the visceral adiposity index (VAI) in relation to the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the public Dryad database derived from the NAGALA (NAFLD in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) project (1994-2016). Participants were stratified into quartiles based on VAI levels. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to evaluate whether VAI independently predicts T2DM risk. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for each VAI quartile. Subgroup analyses were conducted to examine associations across age and body mass index categories. Both multiplicative and additive interaction effects between gender and VAI were assessed. Additionally, gender-specific Cox models were fitted to further explore these associations.Results:A total of 15 453 participants [8 419 males and 7 034 females; mean age, (43.7±8.9) years] were included, with a median follow-up duration of 5.39 years. During follow-up, 373 participants (2.4%) developed T2DM. After adjustment for potential confounders, higher VAI levels were independently associated with increased T2DM risk ( HR=1.16; 95% CI 1.11-1.21), consistent with the results across VAI quartiles. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significant trend of increasing T2DM incidence across VAI quartiles ( P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve for VAI in predicting T2DM at 3, 5, and 10 years was 0.755, 0.735, and 0.696, respectively. Sensitivity analyses showed that elevated VAI was associated with increased T2DM risk across all age and body mass index subgroups (all P<0.05). Regarding interaction analysis, the HR (95% CI) for the multiplicative interaction between VAI and gender was 1.22 (1.19-1.26). The relative excess risk of interaction was -1.08 (95% CI -2.96 to -0.06), the attributable proportion of interaction was -0.54 (95% CI -1.35 to -0.01), and the synergy index was 0.48 (95% CI 0.26-0.91), indicating a negative additive interaction. Using low-VAI women as the reference group, the risk of T2DM in high-VAI women was higher ( HR=2.53, 95% CI 1.59-4.02) compared to high-VAI men ( HR=2.01, 95% CI 1.49-2.72). In gender-specific analyses, increasing VAI remained significantly associated with elevated T2DM risk after adjustment in both females ( HR=1.43, 95% CI 1.21-1.68) and males ( HR=1.16; 95% CI 1.11-1.22), with consistent findings across VAI quartiles. Conclusions:VAI and gender demonstrated multiplicative and additive interaction in relation to T2DM risk. The association between increasing VAI and T2DM risk was more pronounced in women than in men.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Yigongsan combined with multi-enzyme tablets and bifidobacterium triple live powder on infantile anorexia with spleen-stomach Qi deficiency syndrome. MethodA total of 112 infantile patients anorexia with spleen-stomach Qi deficiency syndrome treated at Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to June 2023 were enrolled and divided into a control group and an observation group, with 56 cases in each group, according to a random number table. Children in the control group were treated with multi-enzyme tablets and Bifidobacterium triple live powder, while those in the observation group were treated with modified Yigongsan in addition to the treatment in the control group. During the study, one case dropped out in the control group and two cases dropped out in the observation group. The clinical efficacy of the two groups of children was compared, including changes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores (main symptoms, secondary symptoms, tongue, and pulse), time to restore normal food intake, and increase in body weight. Changes in calcium, iron, zinc levels, hemoglobin, and albumin levels before and after treatment, as well as changes in gastrointestinal hormones such as gastrin and motilin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, somatostatin, neuropeptide Y, orexin, and leptin, were observed. The occurrence of adverse reactions in the two groups of children during the study was also recorded. ResultThe total effective rate of children in the control group after treatment was 85.19% (46/54), while that in the observation group was 98.15% (53/54) (χ2 =5.939, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the time for food intake to return to normal in the observation group was shorter, and the increase in body weight was greater (P<0.05). Compared with the results before treatment, the TCM syndrome scores (main symptoms, secondary symptoms, tongue, and pulse) in both groups of children significantly decreased, while the levels of calcium, iron, zinc, hemoglobin, albumin, gastrin, motilin, neuropeptide Y, and orexin increased, and the levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide, somatostatin, and leptin decreased (P< 0.01). Compared with the control group after treatment, the improvement in the above indicators in the observation group was more significant (P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups of children during the treatment period was similar, and the difference was not statistically significant. ConclusionModified Yigongsan combined with multi-enzyme tablets and Bifidobacterium triple live powder is highly effective in treating infantile anorexia (spleen-stomach Qi deficiency syndrome). After treatment, symptoms of the children were improved,appetite and food intake increased, gastrointestinal function was improved, body weight increased, and adverse reactions were few, indicating that the treatment was safe and reliable.

Background::Limited information exists regarding the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on psoriasis patients. The objective of this study was to identify clinical factors associated with the prognosis of psoriasis following SARS-CoV-2 infection.Methods::A retrospective, multicenter study was conducted between March and May 2023. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related psoriasis outcomes. The study included 2371 psoriasis patients from 12 clinical centers, with 2049 of them having been infected with SARS-CoV-2.Results::Among the infected groups, lower exacerbation rates were observed in individuals treated with biologics compared to those receiving traditional systemic or nonsystemic treatments (22.3% [236/1058] vs. 39.8% [92/231] vs. 37.5% [140/373], P <0.001). Psoriasis progression with lesions (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 8.197, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 5.685–11.820, compared to no lesions), hypertension (adjusted OR = 1.582, 95% CI = 1.068–2.343), traditional systemic (adjusted OR = 1.887, 95% CI= 1.263–2.818), and nonsystemic treatment (adjusted OR= 1.602, 95% CI= 1.117–2.297) were found to be associated with exacerbation of psoriasis after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but not biologics (adjusted OR = 0.931, 95% CI = 0.680–1.274, compared to no treatment), according to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusions::A reduced risk of psoriasis exacerbation after SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed with biologics compared to traditional systemic and nonsystemic treatments. Significant risk factors for exacerbation after infection were identified as existing psoriatic lesions and hypertension.

Objective:To explore the relationship between insomnia and osteoporosis.Methods:Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis were used in this study. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to insomnia from genome-wide association analysis research data were selected as the instrumental variables by using inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median method, maximum likelihood, penalized weighted median estimator, and Mendelian randomization robust adjusted profile score (MR-RAPS) to determine the causal relationship between insomnia and osteoporosis. Odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) values were used to evaluate the association between insomnia and osteoporosis. Cochran′s Q-test was used to detect heterogeneity of SNPs, MR-Egger regression was used to test for level pleiotropy, and the leave-one-out method was used to test sensitivity, MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) method and radial MR were used to detect erroneous outliers. Results:The screening criteria were set based on the three major assumptions of MR; finally, 31 SNPs were included in the MR analysis. The results of MR causal effect analysis using the IVW method showed that insomnia increased the risk of osteoporosis by about 0.7% ( OR=1.007, 95% CI 1.001-1.014, P=0.044); heterogeneity testing showed heterogeneity between SNPs ( Q=57.91, P<0.001); and the MR- Egger intercept test did not indicate horizontal pleiotropy in this study (intercept value=3.807×10 -5, P=0.888). Leave-one-out method showed that no single SNP had a significant impact on the overall results. No abnormal SNP was detected according to the MR-PRESSO results ( P=0.059), and radial MR did not detect any outliers. Conclusion:Mendelian randomization analysis showed that insomnia can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
