Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou, so as to provide reference basis for further exploring scientifically effective prevention and control measures. Methods: Reported cases of HFMD in children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou City from 2013-2025 were selected from China disease prevention and control information system, and the incidence in different years was analyzed descriptively; the trends of the composition ratio and incidence in various age groups were analyzed by using the Joinpoint regression model, spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed at the district level, and the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model (SARIMA) was applied to predict annual incidence rate for 2026. Results: From 2013 to 2025, the average annual reported incidence rate of HFMD among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou was 2 513.98/100 000, showing a fluctuating trend. Peaks of incidence occurred from May to July and from September to October. The male to female ratio was 1.49∶1. The average annual incidence rate was 4 743.99/100 000 in the 0-1 years age group, 3 298.19/100 000 in the 2-5 years age group, and 544.22/ 100 000 in the 6-9 years age group. Joinpoint regression analysis showed a decreasing trend in the proportion of the 0-1 years age group (APC= -6.02 %, t =-3.77) and an increasing trend in the proportion of the 6-9 years age group (APC=16.39%, t =5.67) (both P < 0.05 ). No significant global spatial clustering was observed at the district level; however, local scattered clusters were identified in certain areas. Using the SARIMA(2,0,0)(2,0,0) 12 model, the predicted annual incidence rate of HFMD among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou in 2026 was 2 680.56/100 000. Conclusions From 2013 to 2025, the annual incidence rate of HFMD among children aged 0-9 years in Guangzhou exhibited a fluctuating trend; the highest incidence rate is observed in the 0-1 years age group, while the proportion of cases in the 6-9 years age group increase year by year;and local spatial clusters of abnormal distribution are identified. It is essential to enhance risk monitoring and health education in key populations and areas to mitigate the risk of infection in children.

Abstract To clarify the service targets, service contents, and safeguard mechanisms of the basic public service program for student vision health management, the study grounded in the current status of child and adolescent myopia prevention and control in China and integrated with the practical experience and innovative practices of Wuhan National Demonstration Area for Student Vision Health Management, takes education as the main thread and schools as the base, consolidating resources from multiple stakeholders including education administrative departments, schools, families, and professional technical service institutions. Centering on four core components—vision health education, monitoring and record keeping, risk prevention and control, and dynamic management, the study constructs a multi tiered basic public service system for vision health management of primary and secondary school students. It further proposes the use of an intelligent management platform and a "three tier color coded early warning" mechanism (red, yellow, blue) to prevent and control student myopia at the source, providing schools with replicable and operable implementation pathways to enhance the level of student vision health management.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To quantitatively detect plasma ceramide (Cer) levels using high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and analyze plasma ceramide levels in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) patients.Methods:A case-control study was conducted. Plasma samples were collected from 70 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations at the Health Check-Up Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital between October 2023 and December 2023, as well as from 34 HoFH patients (including 11 patients with concomitant coronary artery disease) who were treated in the Cardiology Department of the same hospital during the same period. Deuterated isotopes were used as internal standards, and a Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column (2.1×100 mm, 2.6 μm) was employed for separation. An LC-MS/MS method was developed using an AB Sciex 6500+triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for the detection of ceramides, followed by method validation. Additionally, the differences in ceramide levels among healthy individuals, HoFH patients, and HoFH patients with concomitant coronary artery disease were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of various ceramides for HoFH.Results:A method for the quantification of 9 plasma ceramides was established, showing excellent linearity ( r>0.99), precision (1.8%-11.0%), and recovery rates (89.9%-114.7%), meeting the requirements for detection. Compared to the control group, the HoFH group exhibited significantly higher levels of Cer(d18∶1/14∶0), Cer(d18∶1/16∶0), Cer (d18∶1/18∶0), Cer (d18∶1/18∶1), Cer (d18∶1/20∶0), Cer(d18∶1/22∶0), Cer(d18∶1/24∶0), and Cer(d18∶1/24∶1) ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that Cer(d18∶1/18∶0) had the highest diagnostic value for HoFH, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.83, a cutoff value of 64.6 ng/ml, and sensitivity and specificity of 82.4% and 87.1%, respectively. In HoFH patients complicated with coronary artery disease, the plasma ceramide levels of Cer(d18∶1/18∶0) [(155.7±25.1) ng/ml vs (103.0±11.1) ng/ml, P=0.03] and the ratio of Cer (d18∶1/18∶0) to Cer(d18∶1/24∶0) (0.077±0.012 vs 0.048±0.006, P=0.03) were significantly higher than in HoFH patients without coronary artery disease. Conclusion:A quantitative LC-MS/MS method was developed for detecting ceramides in human plasma, which shows potential diagnostic value for patients with HoFH.

Objective:To conduct an occupational hygiene investigation and simulated sampling and testing on welding positions in a company in a certain province, and to perform a simulated analysis of the concentration of occupational hazard factors in workers suspected of occupational asthma.Methods:In November 2023, the investigation and analysis of workers' exposure to occupational hazard factors were carried out through occupational hygiene surveys, laboratory simulated sampling and testing, and a combination of qualitative and quantitative detection methods.Results:Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) was present in the workplace air of the employer. TDI was detected in the raw materials provided by the workers. Laboratory simulations of the production process and working conditions at the position were conducted with sampling at different distances, revealing a maximum TDI concentration of 0.49 mg/m 3 and a minimum concentration of 0.01 mg/m 3. The results showed that the closer the sampling distance was to the breathing zone, the more significantly the TDI concentration increased. The laboratory simulated sampling and testing results were highly consistent with the on-site sampling and testing results from a testing agency in Beijing. Conclusion:The occupational hazard factor TDI is present in the workers' workplace, and TDI may be the cause of the suspected occupational asthma in the workers.
