ObjectiveTo investigate the association of particulate matter and ozone with the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a district of Shanghai, and to provide epidemiological evidence for the further identification of early health hazards of air pollution and for the prevention and control of NAFLD. MethodsBased on Songjiang Sub-cohort of Shanghai Natural Population Cohort, a cross-sectional survey design was used to recruit participants from 2016 to 2017. Annual average exposure levels to air pollution from 2009 to 2017 were matched to the participant’s residential address using a high-resolution and high-quality ambient air pollutants dataset in China. NAFLD was diagnosed according to the “Guidelines for the prevention and treatment of metabolism⁃associated (non⁃alcoholic) fatty liver disease” by the Chinese Medical Association. Multivariate logistic regression models were employed to analyze the association between air pollution and the prevalence of NAFLD, and stratified analyses were used to compare differences by age, gender, obesity, and lifestyle habits within subgroups. ResultsA total of 32 791 individuals were included in the study. The prevalence of NAFLD among community residents in suburban Shanghai was 38.88%. For every 1 μg·m^-3 increase in PM₁, PM_2.5, PM₁₀, or O₃, the risk of NAFLD increased correspongdinglt, with the odds ratios (95%CI) of 1.071 (1.043‒1.099), 1.065 (1.042‒1.089), 1.041 (1.027‒1.055), or 1.061 (1.032‒1.091), respectively. There were differences in effects across different gender, age, and obesity status subgroups. ConclusionPM₁, PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and O₃ are positively associated with an increased risk of NAFLD. Stratified analyses reveal that individuals aged 65 years old or above exhibited greater susceptibility to PM₁, PM_2.5, and O₃, whereas those aged less than 65 years old are more vulnerable to PM₁₀. Males are more sensitive to PM₁ and O₃, and females are more susceptible to PM_2.5 and PM₁₀. The association between air pollutant exposure and NAFLD risk is more pronounced among obese participants compared to that in non-obese counterparts.

Objective To investigate the current symptom status of maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients,analyze the influencing factors from the perspective of multidimensional symptom burden,extract symptom groups,and construct a symptom network.Methods A total of 490 patients who received MHD at the blood purification center of a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from March to April 2025 were selected using a convenience sampling method.30 symptoms of MHD patients were investigated using a modified dialysis symptom index table.SPSS and R software were utilized to analyze the influencing factors,extract symptom groups,and construct a multidimensional symptom network.Results A total of 488 valid questionnaires were collected,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 99.59％.The median number of symptoms experienced by patients was 6(interquartile range:4,8),with the top 5 symptoms being dry skin(69.88％),fatigue or tiredness(56.97％),itching(56.97％),worry(50.20％),and dry mouth(46.31％).Multidimensional analysis indicated that age,duration of dialysis,education level,and complications were influencing factors of symptom burden scores across different dimensions.6 stable symptom groups were extracted,namely skin discomfort,fatigue and pain,gastrointestinal tract,sleep disorders,water-electrolyte imbalance,and uremia.The results of the symptom network analysis revealed that difficulty of falling asleep had the highest intensity centrality(rs=2.18,2.25,2.12).Conclusion The symptom association is relatively stable,and difficulty of falling asleep is the core symptom.This finding can assist clinical medical staff in achieving efficiency and precision in symptom group management.

Objective:To investigate the sleep status of conscious patients in the ICU, their perception of ICU environmental stressors, and the correlation between the two, providing a basis for nursing interventions.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 120 conscious patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University for the first time to the ICU from August 2022 to January 2023 for the study. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Intensive Care Unit Environmental Stressor Scale (ICUESS), and the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing sleep quality in conscious ICU patients.Results:The total RCSQ and ICUESS scores of 120 conscious ICU patients were 36.0 (12.3, 60.8) and 76.0 (69.0±84.0), respectively. The primary stressors identified by patients were "inability to fall asleep" "thirst" and "restraint by medical tubing". Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the treatment environment, one's own experience and noise were significant factors affecting sleep quality in conscious ICU patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The overall sleep quality of conscious ICU patients was poor and closely related to their perceived level of ICU environmental stressors. ICU medical staff should focus on optimizing the treatment environment, noise and patients' own experience to improve their sleep quality.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations and gene mutation features of patients with nucleotide excision repair (NER) disorders.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of patients with NER disorders who were admitted to the Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from October 2008 to February 2022 and diagnosed in the Outpatient Department of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2015 to February 2022.Literature on previously reported Chinese patients with NER disorders was reviewed.Results:(1)A total of 16 patients with NER disorders were enrolled, including 6 males and 10 females.The onset age was 7.5 (4.0, 12.0) months and the age at diagnosis was 42.0 (21.5, 77.0) months.There were 3 types of NER disorders: Cockayne syndrome (CS) in 13 cases, Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) in 2 cases and Cerebro-Oculo-Facio-Skeletal syndrome (COFS) in 1 case.Four disease-causing genes were detected: CSA gene in 11 cases, CSB gene in 3 cases, XPG gene in 1 case, and XPD gene in 1 case.The first symptoms of the 16 patients were photosensitivity and developmental delay, and neurological symptoms were observed in all the 3 NER disorder types.XP and CS patients had skin symptoms.CS patients presented typical facial features, visual and auditory impairment, microcephaly and changes in neuroimaging features.COFS patients showed intrauterine growth retardation.(2)Results of literature review: a total of 96 Chinese patients reported were retrieved, involving 6 disease types, including CS in 45 cases, XP in 44 cases, trichothiodystrophy in 4 cases, COFS in 1 case, XP-CS in 1 case, and ultraviolet sensitive syndrome in 1 case.Nine mutated genes were identified: CSA in 33 cases, XPA in 15 cases, CSB in 13 cases, XPV in 10 cases, XPC in 9 cases, XPG in 7 cases, XPD in 7 cases, XPF in 1 case, and MPLKIP in 1 case.The common symptoms were growth failure (62 cases), skin photosensitivity (61 cases), typical facial features (52 cases), mental retardation (49 cases) and microcephaly (48 cases). Among 36 cases had imaging data 33 cases(91.7%)had calcification of basal nucleus or globus pallidus.Three cases had intrauterine growth retardation and microcephaly during pregnancy. Conclusions:Patients with such prenatal manifestations as intrauterine growth retardation and microcephaly or with typical symptoms like skin photosensitivity, typical facial features, growth failure, mental retardation, hypertonia, and calcifications of basal ganglia should be suspected of NER disorders.Early genetic testing is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Objective:To study the clinical, histopathological, and genetic features of large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) with IRF4 rearrangement.Methods:Six patients presenting at our center between December 2017 and October 2021 were evaluated by pathological examination, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and next-generation sequencing. The relevant literature was reviewed.Results:①The study sample included three males and three females with a median age of 33 years. Three tumors were in the tonsils, two in the lymphoid nodes, and one in the dorsal lump. All patients were treated using the RCDOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, liposomal doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) regimen. All of them were alive at the time of follow-up in November 2021. ②Microscopic examination showed an entirely follicular pattern in one case and an entirely diffused pattern in 5 cases. The tumor cells were medium to large, and most of the lesions were dilatative with brisk mitotic activity ( n=five cases) and no starry sky pattern ( n=6 cases) . ③Four cases exhibited a GCB phenotype, and the other two exhibited a non-GCB phenotype. All of the cases were positive for CD20, PAX-5, MUM, and BCL6, and negative for CD5. Moreover, CD10, BCL2, and c-MYC were positive in 4, 3, and 2 cases, respectively.④IRF4 gene rearrangement was identified in all cases, BCL6 gene rearrangement was detected in 5 cases, and 2 cases were positive. BCL2 and MYC gene rearrangement were performed in 5 cases, all negative. ⑤Three paraffin tissue samples were used for next-generation sequencing, and lymphoma-related gene mutations such as IRF4, TP53, IGLL5, and MYD88 were detected in 3 cases. Conclusions:LBCL with IRF4 rearrangement is a rare entity with unique clinical, pathological, and genetic characteristics. This entity’s pathogenesis, treatment options, and long-term prognosis still need to be explored further.
