Objective To explore the effect of influenza vaccination on the prevention of respiratory tract infection in preschool children. Methods The clinical data of 400 preschool children (1-6 years old) who were diagnosed with respiratory tract infection for the first time in department of pediatrics of Xi'an Third Hospital and second department of respiratory medicine of Xi'an Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2023 to December 2023, including acute bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia. According to the actual influenza vaccination status, the patients were divided into vaccination group (n=210) and non-vaccination group (n=190). The incidence of respiratory tract infection was compared between both groups. The fever duration, average course of disease, hospitalization rate, clinical symptoms scores (fever, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat), inflammation indicators [C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NE%)] and recurrence rate after 6 months of follow-up were compared. Results The incidence of respiratory tract infection in the vaccination group was significantly lower than that in the non-vaccination group (21.43% vs 43.16%, P<0.05), and the hospitalization rate was significantly lower compared with that in the non-vaccination group (P<0.05). The scores of fever, cough, nasal congestion and sore throat were lower in the vaccination group than those in the non-vaccination group (P<0.05), and the CRP, WBC and NE% were significantly lower compared to the non-vaccination group (P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, the recurrence rate in the vaccination group was 11.11% (5/45), which was significantly lower than 26.83% (22/82) in the non-vaccination group (χ²=0.038, P=4.288<0.05). Conclusion Influenza vaccination can effectively reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infection in preschool children, relieve the symptoms and shorten the disease course after infection. Its preventive effect on influenza is particularly significant, suggesting the importance of strengthening influenza vaccination in preschool children.

Objective To explore the incidence rate and independent risk factors of synchronous multiple early gastric cancer (SMEGC) in patients with early gastric cancer, and to provide evidence for early screening and intervention of high-risk population. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 308 patients with early gastric cancer who received treatment in the hospital from March 2019 to March 2024. The incidence rate of SMEGC was counted, and the risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses. Results Among the 308 patients with early gastric cancer in this study, 23 cases were SMEGC and 285 were single early gastric cancer, which were included in the SMEGC group and the single group respectively. The incidence rate of SMEGC was 7.47% (23/308). Compared with the single group, the proportions of male, smoking history, tumor diameter≤2 mm, chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia degree were higher in the SMEGC group (2=4.331、8.608、4.618、6.490、4.897，P=0.037、0.003、0.032、0.001、0.027). Logistic regression analysis suggested that chronic atrophic gastritis (OR=3.133, 95%CI: 1.240-7.918) and moderate-to-severe intestinal metaplasia (OR=3.171, 95%CI: 1.252-8.029) were independent risk factors for SMEGC (P<0.05). Conclusion Some patients with early gastric cancer are SMEGC. Chronic atrophic gastritis and moderate-to-severe intestinal metaplasia are independent risk factors affecting the occurrence of SMEGC. It is recommended to regularly screen high-risk patients and optimize management strategies to reduce the risk of SMEGC.

In recent years， the incidence of pulmonary nodules has kept rising. To give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of pulmonary nodules and identify the breakthrough points of integrating TCM with Western medicine， the China Association of Chinese Medicine organized medical experts in TCM and western medicine to carry out in-depth discussion regarding this disease. The discussion encompassed the modern medical advances， TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis， the role and advantages of TCM in the whole course management of pulmonary nodules， contents and methods of research on pulmonary nodules， and science popularization work， aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research. After discussion， the experts concluded that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules was rooted in the deficiency of the lung and spleen and triggered by phlegm dampness， blood stasis， and Qi stagnation. TCM can treat pulmonary nodules by controlling and reducing nodules， improving physical constitution， ameliorating multi-system nodular diseases， reducing anxiety and avoiding excessive diagnosis and treatment， and serving as an alternative for patients who are unwilling or unfit for surgical treatment. At present， the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for pulmonary nodules has not been formed， which needs to be further studied from multiple perspectives such as clinical epidemiology， biology， and evidence-based medicine. The primary task of current research is to find out the advantages， effective prescriptions， and target populations and determine the effective outcomes of TCM in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. At the same time， basic research should be carried out to explore the etiology and biological behaviors of pulmonary nodules. The expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with integrated TCM and Western medicine needs to be continuously revised to guide clinicians to conduct standardized， scientific， and accurate effective diagnosis and treatment.

Adequate inflammation can effectively eliminate harmful substances and prevent disease as a self-protective measure to prevent further damage to the body,while abnormally activated inflammation is detrimental to the body.Nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome that participates in inflammatory responses are closely related to many physiological and pathological processes and play an important role in the occurrence and development of pulmonary diseases.This article mainly reviewed the activation mechanism and hypothesis of NLRP3 inflammasome,as well as the research on treating respiratory diseases by interfering with NLRP3 inflammasome.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.

Objective: To investigate the distribution characteristics of trichlormethane in school drinking water in Jiangsu Province, and to evaluate the health risks and influencing factors of students exposed to trichlormethane, so as to provide a scientific basis for the disinfection and safety of school drinking water. Methods: A total of 315 schools (123 primary schools, 142 junior high schools, 20 high schools, and 30 universities) in Jiangsu Province were selected by a stratified sampling method. Water samples in the wet period (from July to September) of 2023 and in the dry period (from January to March) of 2024 in each school were collected, and 630 drinking water samples were collected. According to the Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water (GB/T 5750-2023), drinking water samples were analyzed for trichlormethane, and the health risks of trichlormethane exposure in drinking water for students were assessed using the health risk assessment method recommended by US Environmental Protection Agency. The Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test and Mann-Whitney U test were performed to analyze concentrations and health risks of trichlormethane in school drinking water in different groups. Results: The concentration of trichlormethane in school drinking water in Jiangsu Province was 8.9 (4.6, 14.0) μg/L. The carcinogenic risk of trichlormethane in school drinking water was 9.8×10 -6 (5.3×10 -6 , 1.7×10 -5 ), which was an acceptable low risk. The amount of drinking water per unit body weight and the concentration of trichlormethane in tap water samples were important factors affecting the carcinogenic risk in drinking water for students. Comparison of carcinogenic risks exposed to trichlormethane in drinking water were as follows:primary school students in lower grades had the highest risk of carcinogenesis, with a risk of 1.2×10 -5 , the wet period (1.3×10 -5 ) >the dry period (7.6×10 -6 ), river source water (1.0×10 -5 ) >lake source water (6.8×10 -6 ), liquid chlorine disinfection (1.1×10 -5 ) > sodium hypochlorite disinfection (9.3×10 -6 ), conventional treatment (1.4×10 -5 ) > advanced treatment (9.6×10 -6 ), with statistically significant differences ( Z=88.1, 3.7 , -3.2, -2.7, P <0.05). The non carcinogenic risk of trichlormethane in school drinking water was 1.4×10 -2 for less than 1, and the non carcinogenic risk was acceptable. Conclusions The carcinogenic and non carcinogenic risks of trichlormethane in school drinking water are acceptable in Jiangsu Province, and the primary school students in lower grades are key indicators for risk management of trichlormethane in drinking water. According to the characteristics of the source water, appropriate disinfection methods and water treatment processes are selected to reduce the content of trichlormethane and control health risk.
