This study aims to clarify the incidence and prevention status of dairy cow mastitis in 79 large-scale pastures in China in 2022,reduce the incidence of dairy cow mastitis,and provide scien-tific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for dairy cow mastitis in large-scale pastures suitable for China's national conditions.The research team relied on the large-scale ranch of the Comprehensive Experimental Station of National Dairy Industry Technology System to car-ry out research.A total of 79 questionnaires were received.The information on the stock of large-scale farms,the proportion of cows in the herd,the level of cow yields,the incidence and cure rate of cow mastitis,the prevention and control of cow mastitis,diagnosis and treatment programs of cow mastitis,the cost of treating cow mastitis,and the culling rate of farms was collected.Chi-square test and correlation analysis were carried out on the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows and the prevention and control plan,treatment plan,yield level and elimination rate of mastitis in dairy cows by descriptive statistical cross table.The incidence of cow mastitis in some pastures was con-trolled between 5％and 10％,and the cure rate was mostly as high as 98％.According to the co-hort analysis,the importance of prevention and control measures for dairy cow mastitis was as fol-lows:DMT＞DHI＞milk yield＞milk traits＞breast apparent change＞electrical conductivity＞CMT.The importance of treatment measures for dairy cow mastitis is as follows:DMT＞DHI＞milk yield＞milk traits＞breast apparent changes＞electrical conductivity＞CMT.The importance of treatment measures for mastitis is as follows:traditional Chinese medicine＞pathogen detection and drug sensitivity test＞non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs＞regular maintenance of milking equipment＞normal milking without treatment＞broad-spectrum antibiotics.The incidence of mas-titis in dairy cows is moderately positively correlated with the yield per unit area,that is,the in-crease in the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows has a certain impact on the yield per unit area of dairy cows.Economic analysis shows that the treatment cost of mastitis is closely related to the in-cidence rate,and the treatment cost of pasture with higher incidence rate is higher.Pastures with higher yields usually have more efficient means of disease prevention and control,and the corre-sponding treatment costs are lower.In conclusion,China's large-scale pastures should strengthen the scientific feeding management level,improve the prevention and control methods to reduce the incidence of cow mastitis,improve the cure rate,and reduce the cost of pasture treatment.

BACKGROUND:The highest incidence of spinal fracture is in the thoracolumbar segment,and its symptoms are back pain,posterior convexity deformity,activity limitation,or with spinal cord nerve injury causing lower limb pain,numbness,and even paraplegia and other complications.The finite element method is a digital computer modeling technique,which can simulate the physical model and carry out force analysis realistically.OBJECTIVE:To review the application of finite element method in thoracolumbar spine fractures.METHODS:We searched the Chinese and English literature databases PubMed,Web of Science,and CNKI for relevant literature on the application of the finite element analysis method in spinal thoracolumbar fracture published before March 2024.The search terms in Chinese and English were:finite element analysis methods,biomechanical phenomena,stress analysis,thoracolumbar fractures,spinal fractures.Finally,55 papers were included.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The exploration of thoracolumbar fractures caused by different etiologies(osteoporotic,traumatic,and pathological)through the finite element method is conducive to a deeper understanding of the biomechanics of various types of thoracolumbar fractures,and to improve the individualized and fine-tuned treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.(2)The finite element analysis of a single sample or a small number of samples has the chance,and a larger number of samples are required for the future finite element analysis to reduce the chance caused by the sample.(3)The rigid structure of bones alone cannot meet the biomechanical working conditions of the integrity of the physical object,and future finite element models need to incorporate all the structures of the physical object(e.g.,soft tissues,such as muscles and ligaments)as far as possible.(4)The finite element method has been used in more studies on osteoporotic and traumatic thoracolumbar spine fractures,which will need to be more in-depth in the future,and less in the field of pathologic thoracolumbar fractures,which has a wider scope for future research.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic left hemi-fundoplica-tion for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Method:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 45 patients with GERD who were admitted to Hebei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2019 to July 2022 were collected. There were 26 males and 19 females, aged (46±12) years. All patients underwent laparoscopic left hemi-fundoplication. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative and postoperative conditions; (2) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean± SD. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers. The paired samples t-test was used for comparison of indicators before and after surgery. Result:(1) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. All 45 patients successfully underwent the operation, with no conversion to open surgery or intraoperative complications. The operation time was (86±8)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (12±3)mL, and time to postoperative first flatus was (2.2±0.8)days. Among the 45 patients after surgery, 4 cases had fever, 3 cases had retrosternal dull pain and discomfort, 4 cases had dysphagia, 3 cases had abdominal distension, and 5 cases had constipation. All these symptoms were cured or relieved spontaneously after sympto-matic treatment. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was (3.5±0.5)days. There was no patient with infection, delayed bleeding or perforation.(2) Follow-up. All 45 patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery, with no recurrence of GERD. Gastroscopy showed no esophageal mucosal damage such as erosion or ulcer, and no hiatal hernia occurred. Before surgery, the reflux symptom index score, GERD questionnaire score, reflux disease questionnaire score, lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure, and DeMeester score of 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring were 24.3±1.9, 12.5±2.1,20.1±4.5, (7.1±1.1)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and 31.4±6.4, respectively. At 1 year after surgery, the above indicators were 2.2±0.7, 6.5±0.5, 4.0±2.6, (23.2±2.9)mmHg, and 6.0±1.4, respectively. There were significant differences before and after surgery ( t=80.75, 18.70,20.09, -33.45, 26.15, P<0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic left hemi-fundoplication is safe and feasible for GERD, which can improve the clinical symptoms of patients.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the incidence of ketosis in dairy cows in large-scale dairy farms and the effect of ketosis on the subsequent lactation performance of dairy cows.In this experiment,79 perinatal cows in 8 stages of prenatal 21,14,7 days,delivery day,postpartum 3,7,14,21 days were selected to determine the blood biochemical indexes such as BHB,GLU,NE-FA and ALT in their blood.According to the concentration of BHB in the blood,they were divided into healthy group(CON),subclinical ketosis group(SCK)and clinical ketosis group(CK).There was a disorder of mineral elements in dairy cows in the experimental ranch,and the liver function of dairy cows was abnormal,and there was a disorder of energy metabolism.The incidence of keto-sis in dairy cows in the survey pasture was 26.14％,of which the incidence of SCK was 19.32％,and the incidence of CK was 6.82％,which was comparable to the global average incidence and lower than the average incidence in China.Compared with CON cows,SCK and CK cows had energy metabolism disorders and abnormal liver function,and CK cows were more serious.The milk yield of dairy cows with ketosis decreased significantly.The milk fat rate of dairy cows in SCK group was higher than that in CON group,while the milk fat rate of dairy cows in CK group was significantly lower than that in CON group.The fat-to-egg ratio of dairy cows in CK group was sig-nificantly lower than that in SCK group and CON group.The changes of lactation performance in different types of ketosis at 6 months after ketosis were different,and the lactation performance of dairy cows in CON group was the most stable.In the production of pastures,timely and effective treatment and management are essential for restoring the health and milk production performance of dairy cows.Ketosis can lead to disorder of energy metabolism and abnormal liver function in dairy cows,reduce milk yield,and have a continuous effect on lactation performance of dairy cows.Maintaining the health of dairy cows is the key to improving milk production and maintaining sta-ble lactation performance.For different types of ketosis cows,corresponding management and treatment measures should be taken to reduce economic losses.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of pre-infarction angina(PIA)combined with serum lipo-protein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)for no-reflow during primary percutaneous coronary interven-tion(PCI)in elderly patients with new-onset acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Meth-ods:A total of 189 patients who hospitalized because of acute STEMI and underwent primary PCI within 12h in De-partment of Cardiology,Cangzhou People's Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were enrolled.Ac-cording to their TIMI blood flow during PCI,the patients were divided into no reflow group(n=42)and normal re-flow group(n=147).The baseline data were compared between two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analy-sis was used to analyze the risk factors of no-reflow during PCI.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of PIA and Lp-PLA2 for no-reflow.Results:PI A occurred in 73 cases(38.6％),and no reflow occurred in 42 cases(22.2％)during primary PCI.Compared with patients in normal re-flow group,those in no reflow group had significant higher Lp-PLA2[(341.33±98.32)ng/ml vs.(261.95±75.21)ng/ml]and onset to reperfusion time[(7.02±1.28)h vs.(5.14±1.48)h],and significant lower incidence of PIA(23.8％ vs.42.9％)(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2(OR=1.528,95％CI 1.028～2.030,P＜0.001),onset to reperfusion time(OR=2.602,95％CI 1.848～3.665,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for no reflow during PCI in elderly STEMI patients,while PIA was an inde-pendent protective factor(OR=0.261,95％CI 0.101～0.671,P=0.005).The area under ROC curve of Lp-PLA2 combined PIA was 0.863(95％CI 0.806～0.909),which was significantly higher than those of Lp-PLA2[0.733(95％CI 0.664～0.794),Z=2.690,P=0.007]and PIA alone[0.609(95％CI 0.535～0.679),Z=5.657,P＜0.001].Conclusion:Pre-infarction angina has an important protective effect on no-reflow in STEMI patients.High Lp-PLA2 and absence of pre-infarction angina at admission may be good predictors of no-reflow during primary PCI in elderly patients with newly-onset acute STEMI,and it contributes to risk stratification of high risk patients.

Given the escalating number of cancer patients and the consequent rise in demand for radiation therapy in China, there is an urgent need to establish and improve a talent cultivation system for radiation dosimetrists. The United States, with an early-established cultivation system for radiation dosimetrists, boasts relatively mature and comprehensive systems of academic education and qualification certification. This study summarized and analyzed the educational and certification patterns for radiation dosimetrists in the United States based on public data from relevant institutions, related literature, and interviews with American radiation dosimetrists. Meanwhile, this study delved into and assessed the shortcomings in China′s radiation dosimetry education, examination, certification, and career advancement pathways. Furthermore, this study offered suggestions and recommendations for constructing a novel pattern tailored to the cultivation of radiation dosimetrists in China, in order to facilitate the high-quality development of the medical dosimetry discipline.

Objective To investigate the relationship between daily intake of monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFAs)and polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs)and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),and to determine the threshold values of daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake for NAFLD risk.Methods Date were collected from the Dryad database.We enrolled a total of 1 068 healthy subjects aged 18 years and older(534 in the control group and 534 with NAFLD group)who had physical check-up in the Affiliated Nanping First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2015 to August 2017.Comprehensive medical histories were obtained through questionnaires;information on dietary intake was collected using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake were calculated.Baseline characteristics were compared between the two groups,and Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline(RCS)analyses were used to explore the relationship between daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake and NAFLD.Results Compared with the control group,the prevalence of hypertension,tea drinking,body mass index(BMI),daily energy intake,and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intakes were significant higher in patients with NAFLD(all P＜0.05),but the proportion of physical activities was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting other confounding factors such as age,gender and BMI,for every 10 g increase in daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake,the risk of NAFLD increased by 53％(95％ CI:1.25-1.87,P＜0.001)and 3.30 times(95％ CI:2.98-6.20,P＜0.001),respectively.RCS indicated an approximately linear relationship between daily MUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity=0.064)and a nonlinear relationship between daily PUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity＜0.05).Subgroup analysis results were generally consistent,and there was statistical evidence of interactions between MUFAs and factors such as gender,hypertension and education level,with interaction between PUFAs and BMI observed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Increased daily intake of MUFAs or PUFAs is significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD,and further research is needed to clarify their specific roles in hepatic lipid accumulation.
