ObjectiveTo analyze the changes in the degree of coordination of China's major epidemic prevention and control efforts before and after the outbreak of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), so as to explore the impact of epidemic prevention and control measures on coordination dynamics. MethodsA total of 3 864 policy documents related to epidemic prevention and control from January 2000 to December 2020 across 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) in China were systematically collected. Contents specific to collaborative and cooperative efforts were extracted, and the extent of interdepartmental coordination were quantified to assess the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control efforts. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was adopted to statistically analyze the differences between the indicators before and after the epidemic. ResultsThe average overall coordination level for major epidemic prevention and control in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) increased from 43.06% to 97.62%, and the average coordination levels in the eastern, central, and western China soared from 42.29%, 37.50%, and 47.46%, to 98.81%, 96.20%, and 97.46%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). In terms of department categorization, coordination levels in the professional departments and the key support departments peaked at 100.00%, while other support departments rose to 95.43%, with an increase of 77.15%, 181.85%, and 139.89%, respectively, exhibiting noteworthy statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). ConclusionThe scope of coordination departments of China’s major epidemic prevention and control exists a remarkable surge following the COVID-19 outbreak, notable heightened coordination is particularly observed among the key support departments. Future endeavors should prioritize the roles played by diverse departments in epidemic prevention and control, enhancing both the clarity of departmental responsibilities and the effectiveness of interdepartmental coordination.

OBJECTIVE To understand the healthcare-seeking behavior of patients with AIDS co-infected with tu-berculosis and analyze the factors influencing delayed consultation and diagnosis,and to provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of interventional tuberculosis control measures.METHODS Two hundred and two patients with AIDS complicated with tuberculosis who were first admitted to Yunnan Infectious Diseases Hospital from Jan.2020 to Dec.2023 were selected,and their clinical data were collected through the inpatient medical record system.Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing delayed consultation and diagnosis.RESULTS Time of admission,place of residence,presence of lung cavities,distribution of lung lesions,intermediate hospital visited,sputum culture results,etiological situation,CD4+/CD8+cell ratio,and CD8+cell counts were the factors influencing delayed consultation(P<0.05).The initial diagnosis and Gene-Xpert results were the factors influencing delayed diagnosis(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ad-mission in 2021(OR=3.842,95%CI:1.651-8.966),and presence of lung cavity(OR=8.007,95%CI:1.381-6.436),single lung lesion accumulation(OR=0.637,95%CI:0.049-8.267)were risk factors for delayed consultation.A 10%reduction in body mass(OR=2.070,95%CI:1.056-4.059)and negative Gene-Xpert re-sults(OR=1.667,95%CI:0.688-4.038)were risk factors for delayed diagnosis.CONCLUSIONS The issues of delayed medical consultation and diagnosis in patients with AIDS complicated with tuberculosis remain severe,with different factors influencing the delay.Special attention should be paid to the screening for latent tuberculosis infection in people infected with HIV.When experiencing suspicious symptoms,patients should go be encouraged to take exams at designated tuberculosis hospitals,repeatedly collect sputum samples and monitor changes in body mass,all of which are positively significant in reducing delays.

Objective:To conduct signal detection and analysis of cardiovascular-related adverse events associated with second-generation H1 antihistamines(sgAH)in the elderly population, utilizing the Food and Drug Administration adverse event reporting system(FAERS)database.The findings provide a reference for assessing the clinical drug safety of sgAH in the elderly.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Four methods were utilized to detect signals of cardiovascular-related adverse events associated with sgAHs in the FAERS database, covering the period from the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of 2024.These methods included the reporting odds ratio, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency method, the Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network method, and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker method.Subgroup analyses were performed on both the overall population and the elderly population(aged ≥65).Results:A total of 1 065 reports of cardiovascular-related adverse events involving sgAHs such as loratadine, desloratadine, cetirizine, levocetirizine, and fexofenadine were collected.In the overall population, palpitations were identified as a positive signal, while desloratadine also demonstrated positive signals for tachycardia and prolonged electrocardiogram QT interval.In the elderly population, both palpitations and prolonged electrocardiogram QT interval were recognized as positive signals, exhibiting higher information component(IC)values and empirical Bayesian geometric mean(EBGM)values compared to the overall population.Furthermore, loratadine and desloratadine were also identified as positive signals for prolonged electrocardiogram QT interval in the elderly.Conclusions:Palpitations have been identified as a significant indicator of cardiovascular-related adverse events associated with sgAHs.Elderly patients should be particularly vigilant regarding the risk of prolonged QT intervals on electrocardiograms.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)PET/CT in primary pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 9 patients with primary pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma who under-went 18F-FDG PET/CT examination were retrospectively analyzed,including lesion distribution,morphology,maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax),clinical symptoms and signs,gastroscopy finding,puncture pathological results,and serum tumor markers[carbohydrate antigen 72-4(CA72-4),cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1(CYFRA21-1),carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),carbo-hydrate antigen 199(CA199)].Results Pathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of primary pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma after excluding gastrointestinal primary tumors through clinical evaluation.In all nine patients,18F-FDG PET/CT examination did not reveal any evidence of digestive system malignancies,and gastrointestinal microscopy was negative.Primary lesions were observed as masses or nodular types in 6 cases(5 in the left lung and 1 in the right lung),while 3 cases exhibited diffuse bilateral pulmonary involvement(manifested as multiple patchy opacities,nodules,ground-glass opacities,and consolidations).All pulmonary primary lesions showed increased 18F-FDG uptake,with SUVmax ranging from 2.7 to 12.8,mean 8.6±3.7.The six masses-or nodular-type primary lesions showed maximum diameters ranging from 2.1 to 10.5 cm,mean(5.23±3.06)cm.Four cases demonstrated hilar and mediastinal lymph node metastases,intrapulmonary metastases,and distant metastases,while 1 case showed only distant metastasis.Elevated levels of serum tumor markers were observed as follows:CA72-4 in 7 cases(10-273.3 U/mL),CEA in 7 cases(5-147.4 ng/mL),CA199 in 6 cases(31.22-4 364 U/mL),and CYFRA21-1 in 5 cases(8.31-99.7 ng/mL).Conclusion When pathological biopsy of a pulmonary lesion suggests primary pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma after excluding gastrointestinal primary tumors,and 18F-FDG PET/CT shows no gastrointestinal masses,this may support the diagnosis of primary pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of preoperative ultrasound-guided injection of carbon nanoparticle suspension in cervical lymph node dissection for thyroid cancer reoperation.Methods:Ninety-four patients undergoing reoperation for thyroid cancer admitted by the same physician team of the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the Ninety-sixty Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) from Jan. 2019 to Sep. 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different scope of the initial surgery, they were divided into the re-specification clearance group, the regional lymph node clearance group, and the metastatic lymph node dissection group, and the groups were subdivided into the carbon nanoparticle group and the control group according to whether they were injected with carbon nanoparticle before the surgery or not. The t-test, χ2-test, and non-parametric test were used to compare the age, gender, surgical method, duration of surgery, total number of lymph nodes detected, and positive lymph node detection rate between the nano-charcoal group and the control group in the three groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in terms of age, gender, surgical methods, or the total number of lymph nodes detected (all P>0.05) , and the difference between the surgical time of the carbon nanoparticle group in the re-regulation clearance group and the control group was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) ; the surgical time of the carbon nanoparticle group was shorter than that of the control group in both the regional lymph node clearance and the metastatic lymph node dissection groups, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05) ; the positive detection rate of lymph nodes in the carbon nanoparticle group was higher than that in the control group among the three groups, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusion:In the operation of cervical lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer, preoperative ultrasound-guided injection of carbon nanoparticle can accurately localize the lymph nodes, increase the positive detection rate of lymph nodes, reduce the difficulty of surgical operation, and shorten the operation time.

This paper aimed to identify etomidate and its structural analogues in hair and urine by HPLC-MS/MS.Hair samples were extracted by ultrasonic grinding and urine samples were extracted by methanol.The samples were on ACQUITY UPLC? HSS T3 column with 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate and 0.5 ‰ formic acid-methanol as mobile phases for gradient elution.Multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for analysis.The separation and detection of structural analogues were realized,especially the isomers propoxate and isopropoxate.There was good linear relationship of the etomidate and its structural analogues in hair and urine,with R greater than 0.998.And the recovery,accuracy and precision all met the requirements.When applied to practical cases,etomidate,metomidate,isopropoxate and etomidate acid were detected simultaneously in the hair samples of 3 cases.And correspondingly,in the urine samples,high content of etomidate acid and low content of the precursor substance metomidate were detected in 2 cases,only etomidate acid was detected in 1case.Etomidate structural analogues have higher content of precursor substances and lower content of metabolite in hair samples,while the opposite was true in urine samples.We cannot reverse confirm the structure of the precursor substances through the detection of the common metabolite etomidate acid in the urine samples.Therefore,ingestion of etomidate structural analogues cannot be accurately assessed from urine samples alone.
