Objective:
To understand the health status of primary school freshmen in Guiyang and the health management service needs of parents after examination, so as to provide a reference for establishment of a collaborative health management framework involving schools, families, and healthcare providers.
Methods:
From September to October 2024, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used in Guiyang City to select 3 210 students and 3 133 parents who participated in the physical examination for primary school freshmen. Demographic indicators, physical examination indicators and laboratory examination indicators of students were collected, and parents needs for post examination health management service were investigated by self designed questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was adopted to investigate the related factors of parents health management service needs after the examination.
Results:
The detection rates of common illness among primary school freshmen were 60.22% for dental caries, 17.23 % for screening myopia, 6.11% for obesity, 3.86% for iron deficiency anemia, and 1.15% for scoliosis. The co-occurrence rate of common illness among freshmen during the physical examination was 23.89% ( n =767), among which the comorbidity rate of screening myopia and dental caries (8.22%) and obesity and dental caries (4.27%) were higher. About 63.80% parents indicated that the physical examination items were simple, and 2 366 parents (75.52%) indicated a demand for post examination management services; the average score of parents demands for post examination services was (3.12±0.70). In terms of the scores of each dimension, the mean score of nutrition and health (3.58±0.74) was the highest, while the lowest mean score was for traditional Chinese medicine health care (2.77±0.67). The mean scores for the other dimensions were as follows:exercise intervention (3.29± 0.79 ), psychological monitoring (3.17±0.58), and health education and signing (2.81±0.73). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that parents educational level (junior high school, high school/vocational school, college/undergraduate and above), living conditions (floating), and children s illness status (1, 2, >3 types) were the related factors of parents health management service needs after the entrance examination for new students ( B =2.16, 3.07, 3.68; -2.19; 3.14, 3.34, 3.11, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The prevalence of common illness in primary schools in Guiyang is characterized by a heavy burden from single diseases, with a notable occurrence of multiple comorbidities. After the physical examination, parents have obvious demand for follow up health management services. These health management services should integrate the concept of multi disease prevention according to the needs of parents.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic of venetoclax (VEN) combined targeted therapy in acute leukemia (AL) patients with PICALM∷MLLT10 fusion gene positivity.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 16 PICALM∷MLLT10-positive AL patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2021 to August 2024. These patients were diagnosed by targeted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) or reverse transcription multiplex PCR, including newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) cases. The immunophenotypes, genetic features, gene mutations, and the efficacy of VEN combination targeted therapy of patients were evaluated.
RESULTS:
Among the 16 cases, 3 were confirmed by reverse transcription multiplex PCR, and 13 were detected through targeted RNA-seq among 528 AL patients, with a detection rate of 2.46%. The averge age of patients was (28.0±8.58) years. Patients exhibited diverse immunophenotypes, including 7 cases of acute myeloid leukemia, 5 of acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia, 1 of acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia, 1 of acute undifferentiated leukemia, and 2 of mixed-phenotype acute leukemia. Among them, 11 had extramedullary disease (EMD), 14 expressed CD7, and 12 expressed CD33. Major co-occurring mutations included PHF6 (6 cases), NOTCH1 (5 cases), and 7 cases with complex karyotypes. Of the 12 patients who received standard induction therapy, 7 did not achieve remission (PR+NR). All 4 patients treated with VEN combination therapy achieved complete remission (CR). Among the 7 induction failure cases, 4 achieved CR upon re-induction with VEN, while the remaining 3 re-induced with standard therapy, did not achieve CR. Thirteen patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, including 6 who received maintenance therapy with hypomethylating agents (HMA) alone or in combination with VEN, and seven were followed up. Survival analysis showed that the overall survival was better in the maintenance therapy group (P =0.044).
CONCLUSION
PICALM∷MLLT10-positive AL involves multiple lineages and demonstrates poor response to conventional chemotherapy. VEN combination therapy shows promising efficacy in both newly diagnosed and R/R patients. Post-transplant maintenance therapy with HMA alone or combined with VEN may extend survival; however, further clinical validation is required.

BACKGROUND:
Both medication and non-medication therapies are effective approaches to control blood pressure (BP) in hypertension patients. However, the association of joint changes in antihypertensive medication use and healthy lifestyle index (HLI) with BP control among hypertension patients is seldom reported, which needs to provide more evidence by prospective intervention studies. We examined the association of antihypertensive medication use and HLI with BP control among employees with hypertension in China based on a workplace-based multicomponent intervention program.
METHODS:
Between January 2013 and December 2014, a cluster randomized clinical trial of a workplace-based multicomponent intervention program was conducted in 60 workplaces across 20 urban areas in China. Workplaces were randomly divided into intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 20) groups. Basic information on employees at each workplace was collected by trained professionals, including sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, family history, lifestyle behaviors, medication status and physical measurements. After baseline, the intervention group received a 2-year intervention to achieve BP control, which included: (1) a workplace wellness program for all employees; (2) a guidelines-oriented hypertension management protocol. HLI including nonsmoking, nondrinking, adequate physical activity, weight within reference range and balanced diet, were coded on a 5-point scale (range: 0-5, with higher score indicating a healthier lifestyle). Antihypertensive medication use was defined as taking drug within the last 2 weeks. Changes in HLI, antihypertensive medication use and BP control from baseline to 24 months were measured after the intervention.
RESULTS:
Overall, 4655 employees were included (age: 46.3 ± 7.6 years, men: 3547 (82.3%)). After 24 months of the intervention, there was a significant improvement in lifestyle [smoking (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.43-0.99; P = 0.045), drinking (OR = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.40-0.68; P < 0.001), regular exercise (OR = 3.10, 95% CI: 2.53-3.78; P < 0.001), excessive intake of fatty food (OR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.06-0.52; P = 0.002), restrictive use of salt (OR = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.12-0.56; P = 0.001)]. Compare to employees with a deteriorating lifestyle after the intervention, those with an improved lifestyle had a higher BP control. In the intervention group, compared with employees not using antihypertensive medication, those who consistent used (OR = 2.34; 95% CI: 1.16-4.72; P = 0.017) or changed from not using to using antihypertensive medication (OR = 2.24; 95% CI: 1.08-4.62; P = 0.030) had higher BP control. Compared with those having lower HLI, participants with a same (OR = 1.38; 95% CI: 0.99-1.93; P = 0.056) or high (OR = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.27~2.53; P < 0.001) HLI had higher BP control. Those who used antihypertensive medication and had a high HLI had the highest BP control (OR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.32-2.67, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis also showed the consistent effect as the above.
CONCLUSION
These findings suggest that adherence to antihypertensive medication treatment and healthy lifestyle were associated with a significant improvement in BP control among employees with hypertension.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment approaches and prognosis of primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA).Methods:Clinical data of 15 PHA patients treated at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College between January 2005 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including three females and 12 males, aged (59.4±11.9) years. Clinical manifestations, tumor characteristics, and survival outcomes were summarized. Kaplan Meier method was used to plot survival curves.Results:The clinical manifestations and tumor markers of the patients were non-specific, and the lesion sizes varied. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology, and immunohistochemical staining showed positive expression of vimentin, endothelial cell markers CD31, and CD34 in most of the tested patients (seen on 9/11, 8/11, and 7/11, respectively). Patients were followed up for 2-234 months. Eight patients died at the last follow-up. The median overall survival of the patients was 42.37 months, and the cumulative survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 66.7%, 59.3%, and 44.4%, respectively.Conclusion:The clinical features of PHA lack specificity, and diagnosis relies on pathology and immunohistochemistry. Surgical resection remains the treatment of choice. For advanced-staged patients, actively exploring effective comprehensive therapeutic strategies holds promise for extending overall survival.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of inferior gluteus maximus muscle-pedicled myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of stage Ⅳ ischial pressure sores.Methods:Clinical data of patients with stage Ⅳ ischial pressure sores treated between April 2020 and September 2023 at the First People’s Hospital of Yulin were retrospectively analyzed. Underlying comorbidities were treated preoperatively to assure surgical safety. Stage Ⅰ management involved radical debridement of infected tissue followed by vacuum sealing drainage (VSD). Stage Ⅱ reconstruction was performed after inflammation control. An inferior gluteus maximus-pedicled myocutaneous flap was designed laterally to the defect. The muscle component width exceeded the skin paddle width, with the distal muscle extending about 3 cm beyond the skin island. The flap was advanced medially in a V-Y fashion to cover the defect. The donor site was sutured in layers. Postoperative flap viability, wound healing, aesthetic outcomes, and pressure sores recurrence were assessed.Results:A total of 20 patients were included in this study. Among them, 14 were males and 6 were females. The age ranged from 27 to 72 years, with a mean age of 52.3 years. The body mass index (BMI) ranged from 17.8 to 31.3 kg/m 2, with a mean BMI of 21.0 kg/m 2. All had paraplegia secondary to spinal cord injury. Comorbidities included type 2 diabetes and (or) hypertension (10 cases) and ischial osteomyelitis (3 cases). Pressure sores duration ranged from 1 month to 3 years. Defect sizes were 3 cm×4 cm to 5 cm×10 cm (depth: 3-6 cm). Flap sizes matched defects (3 cm×4 cm to 5 cm×10 cm), with muscle dimensions of 2 cm×5 cm×9 cm to 3 cm×8 cm×15 cm. Postoperatively, all 20 flaps showed good blood supply without flap necrosis. The wound healing time ranged from 12 to 22 days (mean: 15 days). Seventeen cases achieved primary wound healing. The remaining three cases developed fat liquefaction at the donor sites, but their wounds eventually healed after dressing changes on postoperative days 18, 20, and 22, respectively. During follow-up (mean: 13 months, range: 6-34 months), the flaps maintained good texture with no recurrence. Conclusion:The inferior gluteus maximus muscle-pedicled myocutaneous flap provides sufficient bulk, simple design, and reliable transposition for dead-space obliteration and surface coverage in stage Ⅳ ischial pressure sores. This technique yields favorable aesthetics and low recurrence rates.

The cribriform fascia is formed by the fusion of deep and superficial fascias in the axilla,and it forms the base of the axilla together with the subcutaneous tissue and skin,which is a key part of the system of the membranous anatomy of breast surgery.The loose anatomical structure of the cribriform fascia makes it an important anatomical landmark in the axillary region,which plays an important role in accurate localization of lymph nodes.The sentinel lymph node biopsy through cribriform fascia has less intraoperative blood loss and shorter catheterization time compared with the traditional axillary fold approach.However,the anatomical structure of the cribriform fascia and its significance in the membranous anatomy of breast surgery have not been fully elucidated.This article analyzes the anatomical structure of the cribriform fascia and its adjacent tissues,and emphasizes the anatomical structure that needs to be paid attention to in sentinel lymph node biopsy through the axillary cribriform fascia,so as to provide a reference for clinicians to fully understand the cribriform fascia structure.
