Objective: To analyze the characteristics of pediatric pesticide poisoning cases admitted to a children s hospital in Jiangxi Province, so as to provide references for the prevention and treatment of pediatric pesticide poisoning. Methods: Medical records of 349 pesticide poisoning hospitalized cases from 2009 to 2023 in a children s hospital in Jiangxi Province were retrospectively reviewed to summarized clinical features, categories of pesticides involved, therapeutic interventions, and prognostic outcomes. Results: Among the cases of pesticide poisoning in children, there were 217 boys and 132 girls with an average age of 4 years and 8 months; 35.82% of cases occurred during April-June, followed by 27.22% during July-September, during October-December accounting for 22.35%, with 14.61% during January-March. There were 75 (21.49%), 148 (42.41%), 126 cases ( 36.10% ) during 2009-2013, 2014-2018, 2019-2023. In terms of pesticide type, insecticides ranked first (166 cases, 47.56% ), followed by herbicides (116 cases, 33.24%) and rodenticides (58 cases, 16.62%). The average hospitalization time was 4 days, and a total of 73 cases (20.92%) required admission to the intensive care unit among pesticide poisoning cases. There were 11 deaths, including 6 cases who were associated with paraguat esposure of paraquat. Self poisoning accounted for 34 cases, with an average age of 12 years and 2 months; 50.00% (17 cases) were concentrated in 2022-2023, accounting for 64.71% (22 cases) in girls; 8 cases of self poisoning resulted in death, accounting for 72.73% of the total number of deaths. Conclusions The period of April to June repesents the peak time for pediatric pesticide poisoning cases, and the proportion of accidental ingestion is relatively high. It is necessary to strictly prevent child poisoning.

The importance of consensus research in medical decision-making has become increasinglyprominent. However, this field has long lacked unified terminology definitions and reporting standards, leading to significant heterogeneity in study design, implementation, and result presentation that affects the credibility and reproducibility of outcomes. The ACCurate COnsensus Reporting Document (ACCORD) in the field of biomedical research provides a structured writing framework for various consensus methods such as the Delphi method and nominal group technique, aiming to enhance the completeness and transparency of study reports. Combined with specific cases, this article interprets the core items of ACCORD, offering references for the design, implementation, and reporting of high-quality consensus research in China.

ObjectiveTo systematically review and analyze the core ethical challenges accompanying technological convergence in the field of rehabilitation engineering, and to propose a forward-looking and actionable ethical governance framework. MethodsTaking the basic principles of policies and regulations, medical ethics, and scientific and technological ethics as the theoretical foundation, and combining with the application characteristics of rehabilitation engineering technology, this paper systematically sorted out the core issues existing in the ethical review of rehabilitation engineering, and conducted targeted analyses focusing on the key points of ethical governance. ResultsThis paper systematically reviewed the core ethical challenges arising from technological convergence in rehabilitation engineering, encompassing dilemmas of identity and autonomy, inequitable resource allocation and biases, data privacy and security risks, and accountability attribution difficulties in multi-stakeholder collaboration. It further proposed targeted governance recommendations along three dimensions: deepening ethical principles, improving review mechanisms and building capacity among diverse stakeholders. ConclusionRehabilitation engineering, leveraging artificial intelligence and robotics offers novel rehabilitation pathways for individuals with functional impairments, and has substantially improved therapeutic outcomes. Nevertheless, its widespread application is accompanied by ethical challenges, including privacy breaches, difficulties in liability attribution, inequitable service access, and emotional dependency. Governance pathways should be established around the refinement of ethical principles, the formulation of specific regulatory frameworks, and the cultivation of ethical competence among diverse stakeholders. Ethical considerations must be embedded throughout the entire lifecycle of technology research and development, clinical translation and deployment. Through the coordinated advancement of policy, technology and humanistic values, a balance can be struck between technological innovation and the protection of human rights, thereby fostering the beneficent and sustainable development of rehabilitation engineering.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of Go-Ichi-Ni-San complex subunit 1 （GINS1） in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） and the development of chemotherapy resistance. MethodsThe tumor database GEPIA2 was used to analyze the differential expression of GINS1 between HCC patients and healthy individuals， and pathological tissue samples were collected from 40 HCC patients who were admitted to The Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from May 2017 to January 2021. Immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the difference in the expression of GINS1 between HCC tissue and corresponding adjacent tissue， and the correlation between the expression level of GINS1 and the clinical TNM stage of HCC was analyzed. Western blot was also used to measure the difference in the expression of GINS1 between HCC Huh7/Hep3B/Li-7/MHCC97H cell lines and normal human QSG7701 hepatocytes. The method of lentivirus transfection was used to establish the MHCC97H cell line with stable GINS1 knockdown and its negative control cell line. CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were used to measure cell proliferative capacity； scratch assay was used to measure cell migration ability； Transwell assay was used to measure cell invasion ability； cells were treated with oxaliplatin to measure their sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs. Nude mice were used to establish a tumor-bearing model and observe the effect of GINS1 knockdown on the growth of HCC in vivo. Western Blot was used to measure the expression levels of the proteins associated with the Notch pathway and the JAK/STAT pathway. The cells were treated with the Notch receptor agonist Jagged-1 to analyze the association between GINS1 and the Notch/JAK/STAT pathway. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe expression of GINS1 was upregulated in HCC patients， HCC tissue， and HCC cell lines （all P<0.05）， and the expression level of GINS1 was positively correlated with the clinical TNM stage of HCC （r=0.822， P=0.011）. Compared with the negative control cells， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant reductions in proliferation， migration， and invasion activities （all P<0.01） and a significantly enhanced sensitivity to oxaliplatin （P<0.01）. Compared with the nude mice in the control group， GINS1 knockdown caused significant inhibition of tumor weight and volume in vivo in nude mice （all P<0.001）. Compared with the negative control cells， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant reductions in the expression levels of Notch1， Notch3， p-JAK2， and p-STAT3 （all P<0.05）， while there were no significant differences in the overall expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P>0.05）. After Jagged-1 treatment， the GINS1-knockdown MHCC97H cells showed significant increases in proliferation， migration， and invasion activities and a significant reduction in sensitivity to oxaliplatin， as well as significant increases in the levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 （all P<0.05）. ConclusionGINS1 is upregulated in HCC and can promote HCC progression and chemotherapy resistance through the Notch/JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Background Indoor air quality directly affects people's health, especially the impact of chemical pollutants in residential indoor air on children and the elderly is more significant. Objective To understand the pollution status of common chemical pollutants in residential indoor air in Shijiazhuang, evaluate the health risks of chemical pollutants to school-age children and the elderly, and provide reference for controlling indoor pollution in residential environment. Methods Using stratified random sampling, a total of 60 households were selected from 2 urban areas and 1 surrounding rural area in Shijiazhuang City, specifically in July 2023 (non-heating season) and December 2023 (heating season), respectively. Relevant data was collected through on-site sampling [including CO, CO₂, PM₁₀, PM_2.5, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene] and survey questionnaires. The pollutant concentrations were evaluated following the Standards for indoor air quality of GB/T 18883-2022, and the inhalation exposure risks of the target population were assessed based on the health risk assessment method. Results In the indoor air of the urban and rural residence in Shijiazhuang City, except for CO, NO₂, SO₂, toluene, and xylene, which did not exceed the standard limits, other pollutants showed varying degrees of exceedance. The non-qualified rates of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and CO₂ in the urban areas were higher than those in the rural areas (P < 0.05). The seasonal difference analysis showed that the non-qualified rates of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, CO₂, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene in the urban areas were higher in the heating season than in the non-heating season (P<0.05); the non-qualified rates of ammonia and formaldehyde in the rural areas increased significantly in the non-heating season(P<0.05). The health risk assessment indicated that the maximum hazard quotient (HQ) of tetrachloroethylene for the elderly exceeded 1, while the HQ values for ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, and trichloroethylene remained below 1 for either children or the elderly. For carcinogenic risks, the median carcinogenic risk (CR) of formaldehyde for school-aged children or the elderly fell within the range of 10⁻⁶-10⁻⁴, whereas the median CR values for benzene, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene were all below 10⁻⁶. Conclusion The primary indoor air pollutants exceeding the national standard limits in residential areas of Shijiazhuang City include CO₂, PM₁₀, TVOC, PM_2.5, formaldehyde, ammonia, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene. The levels of these pollutants exhibit significant urban-rural and seasonal variations. Special attention should be paid to the non-carcinogenic risk of tetrachloroethylene to the elderly and the carcinogenic risks of formaldehyde to school-age children and the elderly.

OBJECTIVE To construct the drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection,so as to provide reference for the rational drug use in medical institutions.METHODS On the basis of evidence methodology,relevant guidelines/expert consensus,systematic reviews/meta-analysis were consulted;the evaluation criteria framework for Dezocine injection was established after screening evidence.Delphi method was employed,whereby 28 clinicians and clinical pharmacists from secondary and above-level medical institutions across eight provinces,including Tianjin,Beijing and Shandong,were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire surveys.The final indicators were determined based on the experts'enthusiasm coefficient,authority coefficient,and degree of coordination.RESULTS The effective recovery rate of questionnaire was 100%in the first round and 92.86%in the second round;expert authority coefficient was 0.82 in the first round and 0.81 in the second round;the coordination degree of experts in the first round was 0.29,and in the second round was 0.31(P＜0.001).Drug utilization evaluation standard system for Dezocine injection was formed finally,including three dimensions of medication indications,medication process and medication results,with a total of 11 first-level indicators(such as indications,usage and dosage)and 33 second-level indicators(such as labor analgesia and the management of severe pain following major or moderate surgeries combined with other analgesic drugs).The average importance scores for each indicator ranged from 4.08 to 5.00 points,with an overall average score of 4.61 points and coefficient of variation ranging from 0 to 0.19.CONCLUSIONS The drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection established based on evidence-based methodology and Delphi method is authoritative and scientific,which provides a reference for subsequent evaluation of the rationality of clinical medication.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of chronic hepatitis C(CHC)patients with hepatitis C virus genotype 3(HCV GT3)infection and the risk factors for disease progression.Methods A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted among 1 002 CHC patients from 11 clinical centers in Northwest China from December 2017 to November 2023,and according to their genotype,they were divided into GT1,GT2,GT3,and GT6 groups.Clinical features were compared between the patients with different genotypes.The one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups,and the Scheffe test was used for further comparison between two groups.The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of data with skewed distribution between groups;the chi-square test or Fisher test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors for the progression of CHC to liver cirrhosis.Results In terms of the genotype,there were 427 patients with GT1 infection,242 with GT2 infection,299 with GT3 infection(210 patients with GT3a infection,87 with GT3b infection,and 2 with unclassified genotype),and 34 with GT6 infection.The patients with GT3 infection had a significantly younger age than those with GT1 infection(51.3±0.5 years vs 53.2±0.6 years,P<0.05)or GT2 infection(51.3±0.5 years vs 53.7±0.8 years,P<0.05),and for the patients with liver cirrhosis,the patients with GT3 infection had a significantly younger age than those with GT1 infection(52.1±0.5 years vs 59.4±0.9 years,P<0.001)or GT2 infection(52.1±0.5 years vs 58.1±1.1 years,P<0.001).Among the patients with GT3 infection,male patients accounted for 77.9%and the patients with liver cirrhosis accounted for 46.2%,which were significantly higher than those among the patients with GT1,GT2 or GT6 infection(all P<0.001).At baseline,the patients with GT3 infection had significantly higher levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)than those with GT1 or GT2 infection,significantly higher aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index(APRI)and fibrosis-4(FIB4)than those with GT1,GT2 or GT6 infection,a significantly lower platelet count(PLT)than those with GT2 or GT6 infection,a significantly higher level of alpha-fetoprotein than those with GT2 or GT6 infection,and a significantly lower level of albumin(Alb)than those with GT6 infection(all P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the patients with GT3a infection and those with GT3b infection in age,sex,the proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis,comorbidities,HCV RNA quantification,PLT,ALT,AST,alkaline phosphatase,Alb,APRI,and FIB-4(all P>0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PLT≤150×109/L(odds ratio[OR]=10.72,95%confidence interval[CI]:5.76-35.86,P<0.001)and Alb≤35 g/L(OR=3.74,95%CI:1.22-11.45,P=0.021)were risk factors for liver cirrhosis.Conclusion Most CHC patients with GT3 infection are male in Northwest China,and compared with the patients with other genotypes,such patients tend to have a younger age of onset and higher degrees of liver inflammation activity and fibrosis.Low PLT and a low level of Alb are risk factors for progression to liver cirrhosis in CHC patients with GT3 infection.
