Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the short-term prognosis of patients with acute diquat poisoning (ADQP).Methods:Patients with ADQP admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and Xuzhou Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital from August 2015 to July 2022 were retrospectively selected. Patients were divided into survival group and death group according to 30-day survival status after poisoning. The general data and the results of the first laboratory examination after admission were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors associated with prognosis. And the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the prognostic value of risk factors in patients with ADQP.Results:A total of 79 ADQP patients were included in this study, including 40 patients in the survival group and 39 patients in the death group. There were statistically significant differences in the age, poisoning dose, white blood cell, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, serum creatinine, blood urea, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, monocyte to lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) between survival and death groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the poisoning dose ( OR=1.018, 95% CI: 1.001-1.035, P=0.033), serum creatinine ( OR=1.049, 95% CI: 1.005-1.095, P=0.028), and SII ( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.002, P=0.029) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with diquat poisoning. The areas under the curves of the combined detection of poisoning dose, serum creatinine and SII was 0.968, the sensitivity was 0.949, and the specificity was 0.900, which were higher than those of the single index. Conclusions:The poisoning dose, serum creatinine and SII are independent prognostic predictors of patients with ADQP. The combination of three independent factors has higher sensitivity and specificity in evaluating the prognosis of ADQP, which could be used as a reliable indicator to predict the prognosis of patients with ADQP.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the histopathological and ultrastructural alterations in the lung tissues of rats induced by a single intratracheal administration of bleomycin,with the objective of establishing a reliable model for future applications.METHODS:Six to eight-week-old SD rats were randomly allocated into two groups:the control group and the model group(n=12).Pulmonary fibrosis was induced in the rat models by a single intratracheal in-stillation of bleomycin(3 mg/kg),while an equivalent volume of saline was administered to the control group.The rats were executed on the 42nd day.Twelve rats remained in the control group,while nine rats remained in the model group.Lung tissue imaging was conducted using CT scans.Lung function tests were performed to assess changes in forced vital capacity(FVC)and dynamic lung compliance(Cdyn).Lung stiffness was determined through Young's modulus testing using a rheometer.The pathological structure of lung tissues was examined using both HE and Masson staining methods.Additionally,transmission electron microscopy was employed to evaluate collagen deposition in lung tissues,alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells,macrophages,and ultrastructural changes of the respiratory membrane.RESULTS:CT scans revealed honeycomb patterns in the lungs of model rats,along with partial bronchiectasis/bronchiectasis.In comparison to the con-trol group,the model group exhibited significantly lower FVC and Cdyn values,while lung stiffness were increased.HE and Masson staining demonstrated that rats in the model group exhibited alveolar structure destruction,alveolar septum thickening,inflammatory cell infiltration,and collagen deposition in alveolar septum.Transmission electron microscopy revealed several abnormalities in the model group:increased collagen fibers in the alveolar septa,misalignment of micro-villi in alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells,wrinkled nuclei with increased heterochromatin,swollen cytoplasmic mitochon-dria,fractured or haphazardly structured mitochondrion cristaes,and a significant decrease in their number(P<0.05).Furthermore,lamellar bodies were vacuolated and reduced in number(P<0.05),and dilated endoplasmic reticulums with degranulation were observed.There was an increase in alveolar macrophages and interstitial macrophages(P<0.01).The respiratory membrane displayed structural disruptions and an increase in thickness(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Bleomycin induces decreased lung compliance,alveolar epithelial injury,alveolar septum thickening,collagen deposi-tion,and an increase in interstitial macrophages,ultimately resulting in pulmonary fibrosis in rats.

Objective:To assess the effect of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) compared with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) on glycemic control, residual islet function, and patient-reported outcomes in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes within 1 year.Methods:133 children and adolescents with newly diagnosed T1DM in the T1D clinic of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to January 2020 were divided into two groups: FGM group ( n=82) and SMBG group ( n=51). The observation indexes included hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c), fasting and postprandial blood glucose (FBG and 2 h BG), C-peptide (FCP and 2 h CP) during the one-year follow-up, Δ CP (2 h CP-FCP), patient-reported hypoglycemia and questionnaires regarding self-management of diabetes and quality of life. Results:At 6 months, HbA 1c in 2 groups was significantly decreased (all P<0.05); at 6 to 12 months, HbA 1c in FGM group tended to be stable ( P>0.05); at 12 months, HbA 1c in SMBG group was significantly increased compared with 6 months ( P=0.001). At 12 months, HbA 1c in SMBG group was higher than that in FGM group ( P=0.001). At 12 months, FBG in FGM group was equivalent to the baseline level ( P>0.05), while FBG in SMBG group was significantly higher than the baseline level ( P=0.006). 2 h BG only decreased at the 6th and 12th month in FGM group (all P<0.05). The FCP of SMBG group was significantly decreased at 12 months ( P<0.05), and the 2 h CP, Δ CP in the two groups decreased gradually (all P<0.05). FGM group had more hypoglycemic events at 6 and 12 months (all P<0.05). At 6 months, the score of Self-Management of T1D for Adolescents (SMOD-A) in FGM group was significantly improved ( P=0.001). During the follow-up period, the quality of life score of FGM group was stable ( P>0.05), while the quality of life score of SMBG group had a downward trend ( P=0.052). Conclusions:In newly diagnosed children and adolescents with T1DM, early application of FGM for blood glucose management will help to improve HbA 1c and reduce postprandial blood glucose. In addition, the self-management ability of children with FGM was improved after 6 months.

Objective:To investigate the CT features of lung injury induced by paraquat poisoning and its relationship with prognosis, and to provide reference for the judgment of the condition and prognosis of paraquat poisoning.Methods:146 cases of paraquat poisoning patients were treated in the Third People's Hospital of Xuzhou City from January 2013 to April 2016. The cases were divided into mild group, moderate-severe group and fulminant group according to the concentration of paraquat in urine. The clinical data and CT imaging findings were analyzed and reconstructed in three-dimensional reconstruction. The extent of the lesion was observed and the relationship between CT and prognosis was explored.Results:Paraquat lung injury has many manifestations on CT images, and it's performance can be intersecting at the same time. Early lesions lighter cases, late CT imaging lesions can be completely absorbed or residual fibrosis, the prognosis was good; the early lesion was pulmonary consolidation, pleural effusion cases, the late CT image was usually pleural thickening and bronchiectasis, the prognosis was relatively good; early lesions were large patches of ground glass opacity cases, finally, pulmonary fibrosis was common, the mortality rate of 56.57%. There were significant differences in the extent of lung injury between different groups ( P<0.001) , and the difference in mortality was statistically significant when the lung injury was different ( P<0.001) . Multivariate stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that ground-glass opacity ( OR value=2.013) , interstitial lung fibrosis ( OR=3.779) and mediastinal emphysema ( OR=33.118) were risk factors for death of lung injury caused by paraquat poisoning ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:There were many manifestations on CT images of paraquat lung injury, and the manifestations of paraquat lung injury can be intersecting at the same time. The pulmonary manifestations and outcomes of different paraquat types were different. The CT manifestations of lung injury in paraquat poisoning were mainly exudative changes at early stage, and can be gradually absorbed or evolved into interstitial changes at later stage. The cumulative damage range can be used as a reference for evaluating the prognosis. Ground-glass opacity, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and mediastinal emphysema are the risk factors for death of lung injury caused by paraquat poisoning.

Objective:
To analyze the relationship between clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with acute herbicide poisoning marked diquat.
Methods:
A multi-center, retrospective clinical study of patients with acute diquat poisoning admitted into Emergency Department was conducted from June 2015 to August 2018 in 8 hospitals in Jiangsu Province.
Results:
A total of 43 patients (22 males and 21 females) were collected and the peak age of poisoning ranged 20-39 years old. The only route of poisoning was ingestion. Among these cases, suicide was the most common cause of poisoningaccounting for 90.70%. In emergency treatment, the constituent ratios of gastric lavage, hemoperfusion and glucocorticoid were 87.50%, 72.50% and 42.50%, respectively. The total mortality increased to 60.00% after follow-up, while the in-hospital mortality was 18.60%. The mortality of patients with toxic dose < 50 mL was 11.11%.
Conclusions
The incidence of acute herbicide poisoning with "diquat" as commercial component is gradually increasing. At present, the mortality is very high. Ingestion poisoning dose is the key factor affecting prognosis, and the prognosis of patients with oral dose > 50 mL is poor.

Objective:
To understand the characteristics and causes of pesticide poisoning in Xuzhou city, and provide basis for formulating prevention and control measures.
Methods:
The cases of pesticide poisoning in Xuzhou City from 2005 to 2017 were collected from "Pesticide Poisoning Report Card" . The data were analyzed and assessed by EpiData. The SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.
Results:
During the thirteen years, there were a total of 8092 cases of pesticide poisoning, among which, the number of occupational pesticide poisoning was 1 408, accounting for 17.4% of the total number of cases, 14 patients died, the case fatality rate was 0.1%. There were 2, 992 cases of male poisoning, accounting for 36.97% of the total number of cases, and 5, 100 cases of female poisoning, accounting for 63.03%. There were 6684 non-productive pesticide poisonings, accounting for 82.6% of the total number of cases; 387 deaths occurred, and the mortality rate was 5.8%. Among non-productive poisonings, the incidence of oral pesticide poisoning was 84.3%, and the incidence of accidental poisoning by pesticides was 15.7%. Organophosphorus pesticides poisoning cases accounted for the majority of oral pesticide poisoning cases. The overall incidence of pesticide poisoning showed a downward trend. The age of non-productive pesticide poisoning cases was mainly 15-44 years old, and the number of cases of poisoning were 4 029 cases (60.28%) . With the increase of age, the mortality rate of poisoning cases was higher, especially for those over 60 years old who died of oral pesticide poisoning (40.1%) . The peak of pesticide poisoning began to increase in the second quarter and reached its peak in the third quarter.
Conclusion
Although the cases of pesticide poisoning reported in Xuzhou City have been declining in recent years, the situation is still severe. The proportion of oral pesticide suicide accounts for a large proportion, and the mortality rate of elderly and female is relatively high, and the government should pay more attention. Workers should conduct safety education and psychological counseling to improve the knowledge and consciousness of safe use of pesticides.
