ObjectiveTo investigate the status of overlapping hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus （HCV） infection and the serological characteristics of such patients. MethodsA total of 8 637 patients with HCV infection who were hospitalized from January 1， 2010 to December 31， 2020 and had complete data of HBV serological markers were enrolled， and the composition ratio of patients with overlapping HBV serological markers was analyzed among the patients with HCV infection. The patients were divided into groups based on age and year of birth， and serological characteristics were analyzed， and the distribution of HBV-related serological characteristics were analyzed across different HCV genotypes. ResultsThe patients with HCV/HBV overlapping infection accounted for 5.85%， and the patients with previous HBV infection accounted for 48.10%； the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 14.67%， while the patients with a lack of protective immunity against HBV accounted for 31.39%. The patients were divided into groups based on age： in the 0 — 17 years group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 61.41% （304 patients）； the 18 — 44 years group was mainly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （698 patients， 37.31%）， the 45 — 59 years group was predominantly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （1 945 patients， 50.38%）， and the ≥60 years group was also predominantly composed of patients with previous HBV infection （1 486 patients， 61.66%）. The patients were divided into groups based on the year of birth： in the pre-1992 group， the patients with previous HBV infection accounted for 51.63% （4 112 patients）； in the 1992 — 2005 group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 54.72% （168 patients）； in the post-2005 group， the patients with protective immunity against HBV accounted for 64.38% （235 patients）. In this study， 6 301 patients underwent HCV genotype testing： the patients with genotype 1b accounted for the highest proportion of 51.71% （3 258 patients）， followed by those with genotype 2a （1 769 patients， 28.07%）， genotype 3b （63 patients， 1.00%）， genotype 3a （10 patients， 0.16%）， genotype 4 （21 patients， 0.33%）， and genotype 6a （5 patients， 0.08%）. ConclusionWith the implementation of hepatitis B planned vaccination program in China， there has been a significant reduction in the proportion of patients with previous HBV infection among the patients with HCV/HBV overlapping infection， but there is still a relatively high proportion of patients with a lack of protective immunity against HBV.

Objective: To analyze the implementation status of the “Three-Exemptions” policy for voluntary blood donation in China by taking Shandong Province as a case study, explore the sociodemographic characteristics of policy beneficiaries and the distribution differences in blood donation frequencies, so as to provide practical references for improving the honor incentive system of voluntary blood donation and stabilizing the blood donation team. Methods: Excel was used to sort out and summarize the policy documents from 31 provincial-level administrative regions of China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), and its implementation models, temporal characteristics and implementation basis were analyzed. Using 238 193 policy beneficiaries in Shandong Province as the research objects, Stata was adopted for descriptive statistical analysis of sociodemographic characteristics including gender, age, educational background and occupation. The Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were performed to compare the distribution differences of blood donation frequencies among populations with different characteristics. Results: The “Three Exemption” policy has been implemented in 29 provinces nationwide, forming five differentiated implementation models. Specifically, 45.16% of the regions adopted province-wide unified implementation, 32.26% adopted partial prefecture-level city implementation, 12.90% adopted partial clause implementation, 3.23% adopted encouraging implementation, and 6.45% had not implemented the policy. The period from 2023 to 2026 witnessed the concentrated promotion of the policy. In Shandong Province, the beneficiaries were mainly males (82.08%), middle-aged individuals aged 40-60 years (71.78%), groups with junior and senior high school education (56.57%), and staff employees (30.60%). The distribution of blood donation frequencies showed that nearly 60% (56.95%) of the beneficiaries had donated blood 20 to 29 times. Statistically significant differences in donation frequency distributions were observed across genders, age groups, educational backgrounds, and occupations (all P<0.05). Further analysis revealed that the proportion of males with 40 or more blood donations was higher than that of females (24.32% vs 15.60%), while females had a higher proportion of 20-29 blood donations than males (65.98% vs 54.99%). With the increase of age, the proportion of those with 20-29 blood donations gradually decreased, whereas the proportion of those with≥40 blood donations gradually increased. Conclusion: The coverage of the “Three Exemptions” policy for voluntary blood donation in China continues to expand. However, there is still room for optimization in terms of policy implementation standards, population structure adaptation and incentive gradient design. Future efforts should strengthen national top-level design to balance regional development gaps. Moreover, hierarchical and targeted incentive and publicity strategies combined with population structural characteristics should be implemented to enhance public enthusiasm for voluntary blood donation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between gut microbiota characteristics and immunotherapy efficacy in patients with advanced microsatellite stable (MSS) advanced gastrointestinal tumors. Methods Thirty patients with advanced MSS gastrointestinal tumors, including fourteen cases of gastric cancer and sixteen cases of colorectal cancer, who were admitted from November 1, 2022, to July 31, 2025 were enrolled. All patients underwent gut microbiota testing and received corresponding interventions on the basis of the results, followed by treatment with antiangiogenic agents combined with immunotherapy. Some patients additionally received probiotics or fecal microbiota transplantation. The primary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess potential prognostic factors. Results Among the thirty patients, no complete response was observed. Two cases of partial response (PR), twelve cases of stable disease, and sixteen cases of progressive disease were recorded. The ORR was 6.7%, and the DCR was 46.7%. The median PFS was 6.4 months, and the median OS was 8.3 months. Both PR patients were classified as having a medium risk of gut microbiota dysbiosis and exhibited a Bacteroides-dominated enterotype. Multivariate analysis indicated that tumor type, liver metastasis, and bone metastasis were potential prognostic factors for PFS and OS. Conclusion Patients with a medium risk of gut dysbiosis may exhibit a relatively favorable response to immunotherapy, suggesting that gut microbiota status could serve as a potential biomarker for predicting treatment efficacy in advanced MSS gastrointestinal tumors.

Objective: To investigate the current status of hyperopic reserve among preschool children and to determine the associations with genetic and behavioral factors, so as to provide evidence for early intervention strategies and the development of working protocols for myopia prevention with a forward shift of the prevention threshold. Methods: A total of 924 preschool children (3-6 years of age) from 6 kindergartens in Jiading District of Shanghai were enrolled by stratified random sampling from March to June 2024. Cycloplegic refraction using 1% atropine eye drops was performed to obtain accurate spherical equivalent (SE) values. Questionnaires were used to collect the genetic history and daily behavioral habits of the children. Refractive status was classified into three categories based on the SE:sufficient hyperopic reserve, relatively insufficient hyperopic reserve, and pre myopia. Results: The overall detection rate of insufficient hyperopic reserve among preschool children was 82.25%, consisting of 72.29% for relatively insufficient hyperopic reserve and 9.96% for pre myopia. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that parental bilateral myopia was independently and positively associated with relatively insufficient hyperopic reserve ( OR =2.13) and pre myopia ( OR =4.35) compared to children with sufficient hyperopic reserve; electronic screen exposure time ≥2 h/d on school days was an independent and positive risk factor for pre myopia ( OR =2.83); all of the above associations were statistically significant (all P <0.05). No statistically significant association was noted between outdoor activity and hyperopic reserve (all P >0.05). Conclusions The insufficient hyperopic reserve detection rate is relatively high among preschool children in Jiading District, Shanghai. Early management of electronic device use with regular screening and monitoring for preschool children with a family history of myopia should be strengthened to shift the prevention threshold earlier and prevent childhood myopia.

Objective To evaluate the application value of dermatoscope combined with rapid frozen section examination in the treatment of head and facial skin tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 123 patients with head and facial skin masses admitted to Affiliated Jinhua Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2019 to December 2023.Patients were divided into two groups according to their wishes.Patients in group A underwent preoperative dermoscopy combined with intraoperative rapid frozen section examination,and patients in group B underwent preoperative skin biopsy combined with intraoperative rapid frozen section examination.The diagnostic accuracy of two methods was compared.Results There were 81 patients in group A,including 39 basal cell carcinoma,25 squamous cell carcinoma,8 solar keratosis,5 seborrheic keratosis and 4 verrucous nevus.There were 42 patients in group B,including 25 basal cell carcinoma,13 squamous cell carcinoma and 4 solar keratosis.Both groups of patients successfully completed the operation,postoperative follow-up 6 months no recurrence.The accuracy of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of head and facial skin masses was 91.36％,and the accuracy of skin biopsy was 100％.There was no statistical significance between them(x2=2.407,P=0.121).Conclusion In surgical treatment of head and facial skin tumors,the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative dermoscopy combined with intraoperative rapid frozen section examination is high,and it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the management of cancer pain and the clinical practices of hospice care across 11 cities in Zhejiang Province.Methods:From May 22 to 29, 2023, the Zhejiang Provincial Health Commission conducted a survey to assess the current status of hospice care practitioners regarding cancer pain management, the practices employed by medical staff in managing cancer pain, and the understanding of medical personnel concerning self-controlled analgesia for cancer pain treatment in Zhejiang Province.Results:A total of 505 questionnaires were collected from 198 hospitals across 11 cities in the province.Among the medical staff in secondary and tertiary medical institutions, 85.71%(198 out of 231)participated in the management of cancer pain in patients.Oral analgesics emerged as the most commonly used treatment for pain outbreaks, accounting for 38.53%(89 out of 231)of cases.Additionally, 37.66%(87 out of 231)of medical personnel were involved in the development of self-controlled analgesia devices within their institutions.Conclusions:In the management of cancer pain within hospice care, it is essential to enhance the theoretical training of medical staff, ensure the availability of basic analgesic medications, and establish standardized management protocols for the entire process as promptly as possible.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of SAPHO syndrome in elderly patients with organizing pneumonia.Methods:We reported a case of SAPHO syndrome in an elderly patient with organizing pneumonia.Relevant reports on SAPHO syndrome with organizing pneumonia at home and abroad were retrieved, and the literature was summarized an analyzed.Results:The patient was a 63-year-od female who was admitted to the hospital due to "intermittent fever and cough for more than two months". Before admission, she was previously diagnosed with pneumonia in another hospital with poor response to anti-infective treatment.Chest CT showed multiple bilateral patchy consolidations in both lungs, with migratory changes and reversed halo signs.Her medical history included bone and joint pain(e.g., sternoclavicular joints)and palmoplantar pustulosis.Lung biopsy pathology confirmed organizing pneumonia. 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy revealed abnormal bone salt metabolism in multiple bone and joint areas.The final diagnosis was SAPHO syndrome with organizing pneumonia.Both symptoms and imaging significantly improved after prednisone treatment.Two related cases were retrieved from the literature.One was a 57-year-old female reported in the UK, who had been diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome before and was found to have lung consolidations due to respiratory symptoms.Lung biopsy confirmed organizing pneumonia, and she improved after glucocorticoid treatment.The other was a 59-year-old Chinese female who visited hospital due to pain in the lumbosacral part and left lower limb.After being diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome, a chest CT scan was performed and lung consolidations were found.The pathology confirmed organizing pneumonia.The patient improved after treatment with Tripterygium wilfordii. Conclusion:SAPHO syndrome complicated with organizing pneumonia is rare, with diverse clinical manifestations, and responds well to glucocorticoid therapy.

Objective:To investigate the antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and to evaluate the eradication efficacy of individualized treatment for Hp in children. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 227 children who visited the Department of Gastroenterology, Capital Center for Children′s Health, Capital Medical University from June 2022 to December 2023 due to gastrointestinal symptoms. All patients underwent gastroscopy and tested positive on 13C-urea breath testing. They were grouqed according to the Hp culture and drug susceptibility test. Children with positive Hp culture received personalized treatment based on the results of their drug sensitivity tests, while the other children who didn′t undergo Hp culture received empirical treatment. The effects of different treatment groups was compared by chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test. Results:A total of 227 children with Hp infection (121 males and 106 females) were included, with the age of 11.7 (8.9, 13.6) years. Among the 131 samples submitted for testing, 105 cases (80.1%) had positive results. Only 9.5% (10/105) of patients were sensitive to 6 antibiotics. The resistance rates to clarithromycin, metronidazole and levofloxacin were 90.5% (95/105), 86.7% (91/105) and 22.9% (24/105) respectively. The resistance rate to both clarithromycin and metronidazole was 77.1% (81/105). The resistance rate to both levofloxacin and metronidazole was 19.0% (20/105). The resistance rate to both levofloxacin and clarithromycin was 21.9% (23/105). The resistance rate to these three antibiotics was 16.2% (17/105). No strains resistant to furazolidone, amoxicillin or tetracycline hydrochloride were found. Eighty-nine cases were treated with bismuth quadruple therapy based on the drug sensitivity results, and the overall eradication rate was 88.8% (79/89), including 42 treatment-naive cases with a 100% eradication rate (42/42) and 47 retreatment cases with a 78.7% eradication rate (37/47). The eradication rate of empirical treatment was 75.7% (56/74). Among them, 65 patients received amoxicillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole because of negative penicillin skin tests, with a 75.4% (49/65) eradication rate; 9 patients received clarithromycin, metronidazole, omeprazole and bismuth with positive penicillin skin tests, achieving 7/9 eradication rate. The comparison of eradication rates between two treatment groups suggested a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found in drug reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and rash between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Hp strains had a relatively high dual resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole, especially clarithromycin. For areas with a high resistance rate to clarithromycin, the bismuth quadruplet of clarithromycin removal combined with bismuth agent can be chosen as empirical treatment. In medical institutions where drug susceptibility test can be conducted, personalized treatment plans are recommended as the first-line treatment.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of different traditional Chinese medicine pulmonary rehabilitation interventions on pulmonary function and exercise tolerance in pa-tients with stable phase of.Methods Databases including CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,China Biology Medicine,PubMed,and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized clinical trials(RCTs)related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from their inception to June 30,2023.Two research-ers independently conducted literature screening,data extraction,and bias risk assessment.Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 and R 4.4.1 software.Results A total of 239 RCTs involving 20,719 patients were included,encompassing 18 types of interventions,such as acupoint application,acupuncture,moxibustion,traditional Chinese medicine exercises,massage,cupping,etc.Network Meta-analysis revealed that compared with conventional treatment,traditional Chinese medicine ex-ercises,moxibustion,acupoint application,acupoint application plus auricular point pressing,acu-point application plus moxibustion,acupoint massage plus traditional Chinese medicine directed drug penetration,Chinese herbal footbath plus moxibustion,comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation,five-element music therapy,pulmonary rehabilitation training,and acupoint applica-tion plus acupoint injection significantly improved forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1).Traditional Chinese medicine exercises,moxibustion,acupoint application,acupoint ap-plication plus moxibustion,Chinese herbal medicine,Chinese herbal footbath plus moxibustion,comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation,five-element music therapy,and acu-puncture exhibited significant efficacy in reducing forced vital capacity(FVC).Traditional Chinese medicine exercise therapy,acupoint application therapy,acupoint application plus acupuncture ther-apy,acupoint application plus moxibustion therapy,and acupuncture therapy significantly enhanced exercise tolerance in patients(P＜0.05).The cumulative ranking plot demonstrated that Chinese herbal footbath plus moxibustion and acupoint application plus acupuncture were the most effective interventions for improving pulmonary function and enhancing exercise tolerance in patients with sta-ble phase of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine pul-monary rehabilitation interventions are effective in treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmona-ry disease,with each intervention demonstrating distinct advantages.Chinese herbal footbath plus moxibustion and acupoint application plus acupuncture may represent the optimal strategies for im-proving pulmonary function indices and enhancing exercise tolerance in patients with stable phase of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the stability of the pulse perfusion index(PI)value and Pulse oximetry(SpO2)alarms in monitor for neonates,so as to reduce the false alarm rate.Methods:A monitor with dual blood oxygen module(Module 1 and Module 2)was used to simultaneously monitor different parts of neonates.If both modules alarmed simultaneously,it was considered as a valid alarm.If only one module alarmed while the others was normal,it was considered as an invalid alarm.The PI values were classified into A,B and C categories based on the calculated variance of PI values.The distribution of valid alarms in the three categories was analyzed by using statistical method.The eighteen neonates who admitted to the neonatal department of Shanxi Children's Hospital from May11,2023 to May 19,2023 were monitored,with an average monitoring time of 7.3 hours for each case.The false alarm rates of the monitor with dual blood oxygen module were compared among categories A,B and C,as well as the correlations between different PI values and SpO2 alarms.Results:The times of monitored valid alarm of two non-invasive blood oxygen modules(Module 1 and Module 2)were 41 times,and the false alarm rates of categories A and C were significantly higher than that of category B.The times of categories A,B and C of the monitored PI values of Module 1 and Module 2 were respectively(6,34,1)and(8,30,3),which appeared weak correlation with the times of valid alarm of SpO2(r=0.230,0.259,P<0.05).The result of univariate binary logistic regression indicated PI value could not predict SpO2 alarms in SpO2 alarm.Conclusion:PI value can reflect the affected accuracy of SpO2 alarm when the data that are collected by prober are instability.The PI value that is collected by single SpO2 prober can indirectly reflect that the instable data of collection can affect the correctness of SpO2 alarm,while the simultaneous monitor of adopting monitor with dual oxygen module can improve the accuracy of SpO2 alarms in monitoring for neonates.
