Objective:To investigate and summarize the chest CT imaging features of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), bacterial pneumonia and other viral pneumonia.Methods:Chest CT data of 102 patients with pulmonary infection due to different etiologies were retrospectively analyzed, including 36 patients with COVID-19 admitted to Hainan Provincial People's Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from December 2019 to March 2020, 16 patients with other viral pneumonia admitted to Hainan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to February 2020, and 50 patients with bacterial pneumonia admitted to Haikou Affiliated Hospital of Central South University Xiangya School of Medicine from April 2018 to May 2020. Two senior radiologists and two senior intensive care physicians were participated to evaluated the extent of lesions involvement and imaging features of the first chest CT after the onset of the disease.Results:Bilateral pulmonary lesions were more common in patients with COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia, and the incidence was significantly higher than that of bacterial pneumonia (91.6%, 75.0% vs. 26.0%, P < 0.05). Compared with other viral pneumonia and COVID-19, bacterial pneumonia was mainly characterized by single-lung and multi-lobed lesion (62.0% vs. 18.8%, 5.6%, P < 0.05), accompanied by pleural effusion and lymph node enlargement. The proportion of ground-glass opacity in the lung tissues of patients with COVID-19 was 97.2%, that of patients with other viral pneumonia was 56.2%, and that of patients with bacterial pneumonia was only 2.0% ( P < 0.05). The incidence rate of lung tissue consolidation (25.0%, 12.5%), air bronchial sign (13.9%, 6.2%) and pleural effusion (16.7%, 37.5%) in patients with COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia were significantly lower than those in patients with bacterial pneumonia (62.0%, 32.0%, 60.0%, all P < 0.05), paving stone sign (22.2%, 37.5%), fine mesh sign (38.9%, 31.2%), halo sign(11.1%, 25.0%), ground-glass opacity with interlobular septal thickening (30.6%, 37.5%), bilateral patchy pattern/rope shadow (80.6%, 50.0%) etc. were significantly higher than those of bacterial pneumonia (2.0%, 4.0%, 2.0%, 0%, 22.0%, all P < 0.05). The incidence of local patchy shadow in patients with COVID-19 was only 8.3%, significantly lower than that in patients with other viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia (8.3% vs. 68.8%, 50.0%, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of peripheral vascular shadow thickening in patients with COVID-19, other viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia (27.8%, 12.5%, 30.0%, P > 0.05). Conclusions:The probability of ground-glass opacity, paving stone and grid shadow in chest CT of patients with COVID-19 was significantly higher than those of bacterial pneumonia, and it was more common in the lower lungs and lateral dorsal segment. In other patients with viral pneumonia, ground-glass opacity was distributed in both upper and lower lungs. Bacterial pneumonia is usually characterized by single lung consolidation, distributed in lobules or large lobes and accompanied by pleural effusion.

Objective:To explore the relationship between parental rearing style and mental health of community correction offenders, as well as the mediating role of personality and coping styles in it.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted on 385 community correction offenders by the Egma Minnen av Bardndosna uppforstran(EMBU), symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90), NEO five-factor inventory(NEO-FFI) and simplified coping style questionnaire(SCSQ) from February to July 2022.SPSS 27.0 software was used for correlation analysis and regression analysis.AMOS 26.0 was used for the construction of structural equation, and Bootstrap was used for mediating effect analysis.Results:In parental rearing styles, the dimension of parents' severe punishment(19.09±5.32, 12.93±4.77), father's preference for subjects(9.29±3.30), father's excessive protection(10.40±2.19), mother's excessive interference and protection(33.81±6.06)and parents' refusal and denial (9.08±3.03, 12.17±4.25) were significantly positively correlated with the total score of SCL-90 (140.63±44.28)( r=0.114, 0.168, 0.121, 0.144, 0.224, 0.187, 0.220 respectively, all P<0.05). Parents' emotional warmth and understanding, parents' severe punishment and parents' refusal and denial were significantly correlated with coping styles ( r=0.420, 0.420, -0.189, -0.190, -0.174, -0.163 respectively, P<0.05). Neuroticism, extraversion, conformity, rigor in personality were significantly correlated with the total score of SCL-90 ( r=0.542, -0.442, -0.204, -0.202 respectively, P<0.05). Coping style was significantly negatively correlated with the total score of SCL-90 ( r=-0.352, P<0.05). The father's refusal and denial, the mother's emotional warmth and understanding, the mother's excessive interference and protection in the parental rearing styles could predict the mental health of community correction offenders ( β=0.191, -0.163, 0.233 respectively, P<0.05). Coping styles had a negative predictive effect on mental health ( β=-0.352, P<0.05). Neuroticism, preciseness and extra-version in personality could predict mental health ( β=0.461, 0.183, -0.281 respectively, P<0.05). The pathway coefficient of parental rearing styles → mental health was 0.261 ( P<0.001), and the direct effect was significant. The confidence intervals of parental rearing styles → personality traits → mental health path, parental rearing styles → coping tendency → mental health path did not include 0, indicating that partial mediating effect of personality traits and coping tendency were significant. Conclusion:Personality traits and coping styles play a mediating role in the influence of parental rearing style on mental health of community correction offenders.

Objective:To study the surveillance results of soil-transmitted nematode (STN) disease at the national surveillance site in Nanchang City, so as to scientifically formulate prevention and control strategies for parasitic diseases in Nanchang City.Methods:From 2016 to 2020, in Nanchang County, the national surveillance site of STN disease in Nanchang City, no less than 1 000 fecal samples and 25 soil samples of permanent residents over 3 years of age were investigated annually. The improved Kato-Katz thick smear method was used to detect the eggs of STN in the population, species identification of hookworm was carried out by test-tube filter paper incubation, the Enterobius vermicularis eggs of 3 - 9 years old children were detected by cellophane anal swab method, and the soil samples were used to identify hookworm larvae and of Ascaris lumbricoides eggs. Results:The total infection rate of STN was 0.93% (47/5 054) from 2016 to 2020 in the national surveillance site of Nanchang City. The annual infection rates were 0.10% (1/1 000), 2.94% (30/1 021), 0.79% (8/1 008), 0.50% (5/1 002) and 0.29% (3/1 023), respectively; the infection rates of hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura were 0.42% (21/5 054), 0.02% (1/5 054) and 0.49% (25/5 054), respectively. Totally 97.87% (46/47) of the infected persons were mild infection. The population distribution characteristics showed that there was significant difference in STN infection rate among different education levels (χ 2 = 18.06, P = 0.001), but there was no significant difference in infection rate among different sex, age and occupation (χ 2 = 0.92, 2.01, 13.60, P > 0.05). Among them, the infection rate of junior high school cultural was the highest (1.84%, 24/1 301). The culture of hookworm larvae showed that 90.48% (19/21) were Necator americanus; the infection rate of Enterobius vermicularis in 3 - 9 years old children, the contamination rate of soil hookworm larvae and Ascaris lumbricoides eggs, were all 0. Conclusion:STN disease shows a low prevalence trend at the national monitoring site in Nanchang City, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm are the key insect species for STN disease control in Nanchang City in the future.
