OBJECTIVE To analyze the occurrence characteristics and risk factors of adverse drug reactions （ADR） of gemcitabine for injection in national centralized volume-based procurement （hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”）， and provide reference for clinical safe drug use. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to collect the relevant case reports of gemcitabine for injection reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January 2022 to December 2023； basic information of patients， drug use status， patient outcomes， rational drug use and other information were collected， and the occurrence characteristics of ADRs with leukopenia， myelosuppression， neutropenia， thrombocytopenia and liver dysfunction were analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation of gender， age， combination of antitumor drugs， original malignant tumor and drug dose with ADR. RESULTS A total of 315 cases reports （315 patients） of gemcitabine-induced ADR were included in this study， with a male-to-female ratio of 1.42∶1 and age of （61.17±9.13） years. The primary malignant tumor was pancreatic cancer （73 cases， 23.17%）. Leukopenia， myelosuppression and nausea were the most common ADR， followed by neutropenia， thrombocytopenia， liver dysfunction and so on. The severity grade of ADR was mainly 1-2， and the outcome of most ADR was good. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that combination of antitumor drugs was a risk factor for myelosuppression and neutropenia （RR＝2.154， 95%CI： 1.218- 3.807， P＝0.008； RR＝3.099， 95%CI： 1.240-7.744， P＝0.016）； gender （female） was a risk factor for leukopenia and liver dysfunction （RR＝0.508， 95%CI： 0.302-0.853， P＝0.010； RR＝0.301， 95%CI： 0.102-0.887， P＝0.029）. In terms of drug use rationality， there were 143 cases （45.40%） of drug 126.com use in accordance with the indications of the label， and 172 cases （54.60%） of off-label drug use. Among them， the primary malignant tumors were bladder cancer， bile duct cancer and ovarian cancer， which ranked the top three off-label drug use. CONCLUSIONS The ADR caused by gemcitabine in Inner Mongolia is mainly in the blood and digestive systems. The severity of ADRs is mainly classified as 1-2 levels， and most ADRs have good outcomes. Gender （female） and combination medication are risk factors for gemcitabine-induced ADR. Appropriate chemotherapy regimen should be selected according to the patient’s condition and physical condition， and ADR monitoring in blood and digestive systems should be strengthened during medication of gemcitabine.

Objective To explore the dietary nutrition status and nutritional intervention strategy of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods Among the 1 332 patients with AD diagnosed at Xijing Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were enrolled as the study subjects. The dietary intake data of patients were collected through questionnaire surveys and dietary reviews. During the study period, 30 patients did not complete the intervention due to withdrawal or loss of follow-up. Based on the actual number of people who completed the intervention, AD patients were randomly divided into intervention group (n=651, individualized nutritional intervention strategy) and control group (n=651, routine nutritional intervention), and both groups were intervened for 3 months. The cognitive function (MMSE score and MoCA score), nutritional status (MNA scale, NRS-2002 scale), and quality of life (GQOL-74) of the two groups of AD patients were compared to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention strategies. Results A total of 1 332 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 302 valid questionnaires were finally recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.75% (1 302/1 332). The survey results showed that there were no statistical differences in baseline characteristics and dietary nutrition status between the two groups of AD patients before intervention (P>0.05). After nutritional intervention, the cognitive function, quality of life, and nutritional status of patients in the intervention group were significantly improved. The MMSE score, MoCA score, MNA score, and GQOL-74 score of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while the NRS-2002 score was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Nutritional intervention strategy has a significant effect on improving nutritional status, cognitive function, and quality of life of AD patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of gynecological and breast diseases among retired or economically disadvantaged women in part of Pudong New Area of Shanghai under the policy support of screening gynecological diseases and breast diseases for retired and women with economic difficulties in life in Shanghai, to analyze the characteristics of these diseases, so as to provide a scientific basis for the improvement of relevant prevention and treatment strategies. MethodsBased on the gynecological census data of 13 031 cases in five towns, including Xinchang Town, Xuanqiao Town, Laogang Town, Wanxiang Town and Shuyuan Town, conducted by Shanghai Pudong Hospital in 2023, descriptive analysis methods were used to explore the prevalence and age characteristics of common gynecological and breast diseases. ResultsThe total detection rate of gynecological and breast diseases among women in the screening area in this study was 68.29%, with uterine fibroid (22.35%), sarcoidosis of the breast (17.06%), cervicitis (15.37%), vaginitis (8.39%) and ovarian cyst (2.61%) ranking the top 5 in the detection rate among the screening population. The differences of the detection rates in the four major diseases [uterine fibroid (χ²=233.217, P<0.001), breast nodules(χ²=169.896, P<0.001), cervicitis (χ²=388.683, P<0.001), and ovarian cysts (χ²=72.298, P<0.001)] by different age groups were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Moreover, the results of pairwise comparison of different age groups showed that the detection rates in the age group under 45 years old and 45‒55 years old were higher than that in the age group of 55‒65 years old and over 65 years old. ConclusionThe detection rate of gynecological and breast diseases in the younger age group was higher, indicating a certain trend of younger onset of diseases. Uterine fibroid, sarcoidosis of the breast , and reproductive tract diseases such as cervicitis, vaginitis, and ovarian cyst are the main diseases affecting the research subjects. Therefore, medical institutions can combine routine work in screening diseases and carry out corresponding health education and health promotion activities for these key diseases to improve women’s health.

This study aimed to comprehensively examine the association of gallstones, cholecystectomy, and cancer risk. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to estimate the observational associations of gallstones and cholecystectomy with cancer risk, using data from a nationwide cohort involving 239 799 participants. General and gender-specific two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was further conducted to assess the causalities of the observed associations. Observationally, a history of gallstones without cholecystectomy was associated with a high risk of stomach cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.50-4.28), liver and bile duct cancer (aOR=2.46, 95% CI 1.17-5.16), kidney cancer (aOR=2.04, 95% CI 1.05-3.94), and bladder cancer (aOR=2.23, 95% CI 1.01-5.13) in the general population, as well as cervical cancer (aOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.56) in women. Moreover, cholecystectomy was associated with high odds of stomach cancer (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.29-4.49), colorectal cancer (aOR=1.83, 95% CI 1.18-2.85), and cancer of liver and bile duct (aOR=2.58, 95% CI 1.11-6.02). MR analysis only supported the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer. This study added evidence to the causal effect of gallstones on stomach, liver and bile duct, kidney, and bladder cancer, highlighting the importance of cancer screening in individuals with gallstones.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the use of children’s drugs in public medical institutions in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region， and provide some reference for the rational use of children’s drugs and the improvement of children’s drug list in the whole region. METHODS The generic names， specifications， and dosage forms of children’s drugs were collected from all levels of public medical institutions in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2023. The method of defined daily dose （DDD） and ranking ratio （B/A） were used to explore the frequency of drug use， daily average cost and cost-effectiveness of children’s drugs in this region， and the dosage forms， category， and drug use convergence of children’s drugs in medical institutions in the whole region. RESULTS In 2023， 1 751 public medical and health institutions in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were equipped with 267 kinds of children’s drugs， including 12 drug categories. The main dosage forms were granules， oral solutions， and syrups. The drugs that were frequently used in medical institutions at all levels were mainly antipyretic， analgesic， anti-inflammatory drugs （mostly Chinese patent medicines）， and respiratory drugs. The daily average cost of children’s drugs with the highest DDDs in tertiary， secondary， and primary public medical institutions was low， and the B/A value of most drugs with higher DDDs was around 1. However， the B/A value of some drugs was high， which may lead to overuse. The drug use convergence between primary public medical institutions and secondary/tertiary public medical institutions was less than 50%. CONCLUSIONS The types of drugs involved in children’s drugs in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are comprehensive and the social and economic benefits are in good synchronization， but the dosage form is single and there are few special rules and dosage forms for children. The proportions of Chinese patent medicines in primary and secondary public medical institutions are high， and the risk of drug use should be paid attention. The cohesion between children’s drugs in primary public medical institutions and higher public medical institutions is slightly poor.

Purpose To investigate the value of ultrasound radiomics nomogram in predicting lymph node metastasis(LNM)of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC).Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 400 cases of PTC in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 2021 to January 2022 confirmed by surgery and pathology,all of which underwent preoperative ultrasound examination,and were randomly divided into training cohort(n=280)and testing cohort(n=120)in a ratio of 7∶3.The relationship between ultrasound clinical features and LNM was evaluated via univariate analysis and a clinical model was established via multivariable Logistic regression.A total of 3 348 features were extracted from preoperative ultrasound images.Pearson correlation coefficient was used to screen the features,and Logistic regression was used to establish the radiomics model.Clinical risk factors and rad scores were combined to construct the nomogram,and the receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curve analysis were applied to evaluate the predictive efficacy and clinical benefit of each model for LNM of PTC.Results Age,primary lesion size,C-TIRADS and ultrasound-reported LNM were the independent risk factors for LNM(t/χ2=2.938,55.923,30.081,34.639,all P<0.05).The area under the curve of ultrasound radiomics nomogram to predict LNM of PTC in the training cohort and the testing cohort was 0.860 and 0.847,respectively;the combined model in 43%-85%had the highest clinical benefit.Conclusion Ultrasound radiomics nomogram has a certain value in predicting LNM of PTC.

Objective:To examine the effect of stereotype threats on negative basic and self-conscious emo-tions among university students.Methods:Using gender-mathematics stereotype threat as the threatening scenario,this research recruited female university students who were not majoring in mathematics or psychology.Experiment 1(n=162)manipulated stereotype threat,while Experiment 2 manipulated self-concept threat(Experiment 2a,n=143)and group-concept threat(Experiment 2b,n=146),respectively,based on the multi-threat frame-work.Negative basic emotions(anger/irritable,fear)and self-conscious emotions(shame,guilt)were assessed.Results:Participants in the stereotype threat group demonstrated higher scores in negative basic and self-conscious emotions compared to those in the non-stereotype threat group(Ps＜0.05).Individuals in the self-con-cept threat group exhibited higher scores in negative basic and self-conscious emotions than those in the no self-con-cept threat group(Ps＜0.05).Individuals in the group-concept threat group displayed lower scores in negative basic and self-conscious emotions compared to those in the no group-concept threat group(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:This study suggests that the emotional effects of stereotype threat may vary depending on the type of threat.

Objective To investigate the anesthetic effects and adverse effects of cypropofol and propofol combined with alfentanil,respectively,for gastroenteroscopy.Methods A total of 162 patients who underwent elective gastroenteroscopy at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January to February 2024 were enrolled,including 86 males and 76 females,at an age of 18～65 years old,with a BMI value of 18～30 kg/m2,and ASA grade ≤ Ⅱ.They were randomly divided into propofol group(Group P)and cypropofol group(Group C),with 81 cases in each group.All patients were sedated with 0.7 μg/kg alfentanil,and in 30 s later,2 mg/kg propofol and 0.4 mg/kg cypropofol was intravenously dripped into Group P and Group C,respectively.When the modified alertness/sedation score(MOAA/S)≤1,a gastroscope was started to insert.The related indicators,including total procedure time,successful cases of sedation,induction time and awakening time,heart rate,blood pressure,and pulse oximetry saturation were recorded,occurrence of adverse reactions such as hypotension,respiratory depression,injection pain,intraoperative body movement,nausea and vomiting were observed,and the satisfaction of endoscopists and of patients to anesthesia were recorded and compared between the 2 groups.Results There were no statistical differences in the success rate of sedation,induction time and awakening time between the 2 groups.The patients of the Group C had more stable intraoperative vital signs,statistically lower incidences of injection pain,respiratory depression and hypotension(P＜0.05),and increased satisfaction for anesthesia(P＜0.05)when compared with those in Group P.No obvious difference were observed in the satisfaction of endoscopist to anesthesia between the 2 groups.Conclusion In combination with small-dose alfentanil,0.4 mg/kg cypropofol shows similar sedation effect as 2 mg/kg propofol in gastroenteroscopy,with comparable induction and awakening time.Cypropofol has more advantages in stable intraoperative vital signs,less adverse effects such as low blood pressure,respiratory depression and injection pain,higher the patient satisfaction,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for the core competence of emergency medical dispatchers, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the training, assessment and ability evaluation of emergency medical dispatchers.Methods:In September 2022, a research group was established to compile the first draft of the evaluation index system for the core competencies of emergency medical dispatchers through literature review, semi-structured interviews and group discussions. From October to November 2022, a total of 27 experts in related fields from nine provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government in China were consulted by Delphi expert letters, items were screened and amended, and an evaluation index system for the core competence of emergency medical dispatchers was formed.Results:A total of two rounds of correspondence were conducted. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaire was 100%, and the authority coefficient of the experts was 0.856. Kendall's coordination coefficients were 0.402 and 0.414 ( P<0.01), respectively. Finally, a core competency evaluation index system for emergency medical dispatchers was constructed, which included seven primary indicators, 16 secondary indicators and 75 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The core competence evaluation index system for emergency medical dispatchers is scientific, reliable and comprehensive, which can provide a theoretical basis for the training, assessment and ability evaluation of emergency medical dispatchers.

Objective To assess the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided enteroenterostomy(EUS-EE)in the management of malignant bowel obstruction(MBO).Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 14 patients who underwent EUS-EE for MBO from June 2022 to December 2023.A modified intestinal preparation protocol was employed prior to the procedure,and the resolution of symptoms,improvement in nutritional status,and occurrence of complications were statistically analyzed post-EUS-EE.Results EUS-EE was successfully performed in all 14 cases.The Colorectal obstruction scoring system(CrOSS)was used to evaluate preoperative and postoperative symptom relief and alleviation of bowel obstruction.One week after the procedure,CrOSS scores increased from 1 to 2 before surgery to 2～4.The patient-generated subjective global assessment(PG-SGA)score for malignancy patients demonstrated a mean score of(9.64±3.13)one week after surgery among the study cohort of 14 patients.This score showed a significant decrease compared to their preoperative PG-SGA score(12.36±3.22),with a statistical difference(t=2.26,P=0.032).Postoperatively,five patients experienced elevated body temperature,three had pneumoperitoneum,and two developed short bowel syndrome;However,these complications were effectively managed through symptomatic treatment resulting in recovery or relief thereof.At one-year follow-up,the median survival time was recorded as 81(41,500)d with a one-year survival rate at 64.29％.Conclusion EUS-EE offers advantages such as high remission rates for symptoms,minimal trauma,and low reintervention rates.For patients with poor baseline conditions or limited life expectancy,EUS-EE can alleviate physical discomfort symptoms,improve quality of life,and prolong survival period.
