Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are widely used synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents that can enter the human body through the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and other pathways. More and more studies have found that exposure to TCS and TCC can affect human health, but currently, review reports on the health effects of human exposure to TCS and TCC are limited. Therefore, this study reviewed population studies on the relationship between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects by searching the PubMed database, summarized the associated health outcomes, and elucidated the biological mechanisms. A total of 56 studies were retrieved, among which cross-sectional studies (25 studies, 44.64%) and cohort studies (25 studies, 44.64%) accounted for a relatively large proportion, while case-control studies (6 studies, 10.72%) were relatively few. Studies on TCS exposure (48 studies, 85.71%) were far more prevalent than those on TCC exposure (2 studies, 3.57%). The remaining 6 studies involved both TCS and TCC exposure. The research results revealed that TCS exposure was associated with male and female abnormal reproductive functions, fetal growth restriction, abnormal behavior development in children, obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and immune-related diseases. Although the results of different studies show significant differences, they have indicated that exposure to TCS is a potential risk factor for these health problems. Due to the limited number of studies, the evidence for the relationship between TCC exposure and most of the aforementioned health effects is insufficient. Population studies and in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that exposure to TCS and TCC can interfere with the microbial homeostasis, the endocrine system, oxidative stress and immune function of the body, which are potential mechanisms causing adverse health effects. In the future, large-scale prospective cohort studies, as well as in vivo and in vitro studies, are still needed to further clarify the associations between TCS and TCC exposure and health effects, and to deeply explore its mechanism of action. These efforts will provide references for clarifying the human health hazards of TCS and TCC exposure and formulating targeted prevention and control strategies.

Objective: To construct a scientific and perfect evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities, so as to provide reference tools for colleges and universities to effectively respond to infectious disease. Methods: The initial framework of the evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities was constructed by using literature analysis method. Experts familiar with infectious disease prevention and control or school health work were selected to conduct two rounds( n =16，18) of Delphi expert consultation for determining the evaluation index system. Analytical hierarchy process was used to calculate the index weights and combined weights. About 198 prevention and control personnel were conveniently selected from 3 universities in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to comprehensively evaluate the evaluation indicators by using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Results: After two rounds of Delphi consultation questionnaire, the effective recovery rates were 80.0% and 90.0%, the expert authority levels were 0.89 and 0.86, the expert harmony coefficients for Kendall W were 0.166 and 0.310, and the variation coefficient of each index was <0.25. Finally, the evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability of colleges and universities included 4 first level indicators, 14 second level indicators and 75 third level indicators. The weights of prevention and monitoring and early warning, organizational system guarantee, emergency management, rehabilitation and summary were 0.176, 0.476, 0.268 and 0.080, respectively. The top 3 weights of the secondary indexes were 0.623 for infectious disease surveillance and early warning, 0.595 for loss assessment and 0.370 for emergency response. The score of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of the index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities was 79.148, suggesting a high level. Conclusion The established evaluation index system of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities is scientific and reasonable, which is conducive to provide tool reference for the evaluation of infectious disease prevention and control ability in colleges and universities.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Shiquan Dabu Decoction combined with vacuum sealing drainage(VSD)on treatment of the Gustilo Ⅲ open fracture patients with postoperative chronic refractory wound(CRW)infection and observe the changes of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)/Caspase-1/interleukin-1β(IL-1β)signaling pathways.METHODS A total of 82 Gustilo Ⅲ open fracture patients with postoperative CRW infection who were treated in Shandong Wendeng Orthopedic Hospital from Jan.2020 to Oct.2023 were randomly divided into the sodium chloride irrigation group(the conventional debridement,VSD plus 0.9％sodium chloride injection irrigation)and the Shiquan Dabu Decoction irrigation group(the conventional debridement,VSD plus Shiquan Dabu Decoction irrigation),with 41 cases in each group.Both groups were trea-ted for 14 days and were followed up for 1 month.The indexes were observed and compared between the two groups.RESULTS The total effective rate of clinical treatment of the Shiquan Dabu Decoction irrigation group was higher than that of the sodium chloride irrigation group after the treatment for 14 days(P＜0.05).The average healing time of wound and length of hospital stay were shorter in the Shiquan Dabu Decoction irrigation group than in the sodium chloride irrigation group(P＜0.05).The scores of wound pain,exudation,edema and granulation and the expression levels of NLRP3 mRNA,Caspase-1 mRNA and IL-1β mRNA were lower after the treatment for 14 days than before the treatment,and the above indexes of the Shiquan Dabu Decoction irrigation group were lower than those of the sodium chloride irrigation group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the levels of serum bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2),insulin growth factor-1(IGF-1),tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b(TRACP5b),bone gla protein(BGP),bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(BALP)and total procol-lagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide[PINP]between before the treatment and after the treatment for 14 days or be-tween the two groups.CONCLUSIONS The Gustilo Ⅲ open fracture patients with postoperative CRW infection show the down-regulated expression levels of NLRP3/Caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathways after the treatment with Shiquan Dabu Decoction combined with VSD,which may relieve the wound pain,exudation and edema and promote the wound healing.It can achieve remarkable curative effect without affecting the bone metabolism indexes.

Objective:To observe the morphological characteristics of dome-shaped macula (DSM) and macular hole (MH) in high myopia by optical coherence tomography (OCT), to further explore the correlation between DSM and MH.Methods:A retrospective case-control study. From April 2021 to December 2023, 963 eyes of 503 patients with high myopia (myopic diopter ≥6.00 D) in Department of Ophthalmology of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were enrolled in the study. The age of patients ranged from 5 to 89 years old, with the mean age of (48.91±16.69) years. Diopter was -6.00 to -26.00 (-10.49±3.15) D. All eyes were examined by OCT. The width and height of DSM, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), inner port diameter and base diameter of MH were measured by software on OCT. According to the OCT image features, DSM was divided into horizontal and vertical oval-shaped DSM, and symmetrical round DSM. According to the presence or absence of DSM, the eyes were divided into DSM group and non-DSM group. Then, the affected eyes with MH were divided into DSM with MH group and non-DSM with MH group. The incidence of DSM, the incidence of MH in the DSM group and the non-DSM group, the inner port diameter of MH, the base diameter of MH, SFCT, and the location of retinoschisis (RS) in the DSM with MH group and the non-DSM with MH group were observed. Independent sample t test or non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the related factors of MH inner port diameter, base diameter and DSM width, height, height/width ratio. Results:Among the 963 eyes, the DSM group and the non-DSM group were 266 (27.6%, 266/963) and 697 (72.4%, 697/963) eyes. Compared with the non-DSM group, patients in the DSM group were older ( Z=-11.302), had higher degree of myopia ( Z=-8.944), thinner SFCT ( Z=-16.244), and higher incidence of MH ( χ2=8.828), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with non-DSM with MH group, the patients in DSM with MH group were older ( t=2.610), higher myopia diopter ( t=3.593), and thinner SFCT ( t=3.505), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of eyes in the epiretinal membrane between the two groups ( χ2=0.119, P=0.730). In the DSM with MH group, RS mostly occurred in the outer retina with a large range, while in the non-DSM with MH group, RS mostly occurred in the outer and inner retina with a small range. There was a statistically significant difference in the number of eyes at different positions of RS between the two groups ( χ2=25.131, P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the inner port and base diameter of MH and the width, height, height/width ratio of DSM ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with high myopia patients without DSM, patients with DSM are older, have more severe myopia and thinner SFCT. In DSM patients with MH, RS often occurs in the outer retina and has a large range. There was no significant association between DSM morphology and MH size.

Objective:To examine the distribution of pathogens that cause postoperative nosocomial infections in patients with rectal cancer(RC)and to construct a predictive nomogram for nosocomial infection.Methods:The clinical data of 1537 RC patients admitted to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022 were collected.Patients were assigned 1∶1 by propensity score matching(PSM)to the infection group(n=83)and control group(n=83)based on the occurrence of nosocomial infection.The dis-tribution and drug resistance of bacteria in patients with nosocomial infection were analyzed.Risk factors for postoperative nosocomial infection were identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression,and a predictive nomogram was con-structed using multivariate logistics regression.The predictive performance of the model was evaluated by receiver operating character-istic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results:A total of 93 strains of pathogens were isolated from the 83 infected patients,including 62 strains of Gram-negative bacteria(66.67%;predominantly Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas ae-ruginosa),25 strains of Gram-positive bacteria(26.88%;mainly Enterococcus faecalis),and 6 strains of fungi(6.45%;all Candida albicans).LASSO and multivariate logistics regression showed that smoking(odds ratio[OR]=3.97,95%CI=1.27-12.43),the dwelling time of drainage tube(OR=1.19,95%CI=1.08-1.30),difference in preoperative and postoperative neutrophil counts(OR=1.23,95%CI=1.01-1.49),and difference between preoperative and postoperative C-reactive protein levels(OR=1.05,95%CI=1.03-1.07)were inde-pendent risk factors for postoperative nosocomial infection in RC patients.The area under the ROC curve of the nomogram constructed based on the above factors was 0.933(95%CI=0.896-0.969).The calibration curve showed that the predicted risk was in good agree-ment with the actual observed risk of infection.In addition,DCA demonstrated that the nomogram has good clinical utility and high net clinical benefits in predicting nosocomial infection.Conclusion:The nomogram constructed in this study has a good predictive perfor-mance in postoperative nosocomial infection in RC patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of changes in various indicators of routine blood tests for the severity of brain damage in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage(ACH)in high-altitude regions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 249 inpatients diagnosed with ACH at a hospital in Xizang.Patient data,including demographic information and results of routine blood tests,were collected.Based on their Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)scores,the patients were divided into 2 groups,a mild brain damage group(GCS≥13 points)and a moderate-to-severe brain damage group(GCS≤12 points).Demographic information and laboratory test results were compared between the two groups.Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship between indicators of routine blood tests and the severity of brain damage,and key indicators were identified.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive performance of key indicators in various combinations for the severity of brain injury in ACH patients.Results The moderate-to-severe group had a higher proportion of high-altitude residents,as well as elevated levels of white blood cells(WBC),neutrophils(N),neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),systemic inflammatory index(SII),neutrophil-to-platelet ratio(NPR),and C-reactive protein(CRP)-to-lymphocyte ratio(CLR),compared to the mild group.On the other hand,the levels of lymphocytes(L),platelets(PLT),and platelet-to-albumin ratio(PAR)in the moderate-to-severe group were lower than those in the mild group.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that WBC(OR=1.221,95%CI:1.127-1.322),CRP(OR=1.019,95%CI:1.004-1.033),CRP-to-albumin ratio(CAR)(OR=1.845,95%CI:1.137-2.996),and CLR(OR=1.018,95%CI:1.005-1.030)were positively associated with moderate-to-severe brain damage,and that their elevated levels were associated with an increase in risk by the corresponding folds.PAR(OR=0.845,95%CI:0.721-0.990)was negatively correlated with moderate-to-severe brain damage,with an increase resulting in a reduction of risk by 0.845 times.ROC curve analysis showed that,in the mild group,the combined AUC for WBC+CRP was 0.689(optimal cutoff value 0.19,specificity 0.776,95%CI:0.624-0.755);the PAR+CAR+CLR combination(CAR was not significant,P>0.05)had an AUC of 0.675(optimal cutoff value 0.19,specificity 0.760,95%CI:0.609-0.741);the key indicator combination of WBC+PAR+CLR(CRP was not significant,P>0.05)demonstrating the strong predictive performance moderate-to-severe brain damage,yielding an AUC of 0.737(optimal cutoff value 0.08,specificity 0.624,95%CI:0.676-0.798).Conclusion The indicator combinations of WBC+CRP,PAR+CLR,and WBC+PAR+CLR exhibit significant value for predicting the severity of brain injury in ACH patients and may serve as potential predictive tools for the severity of brain damage in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage in high-altitude regions.
