ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the public health status of escape room-style venues in Yangpu District， Shanghai. MethodsReferring to the hygiene standards and testing methods for public places， an investigation of the current situation and environmental monitoring were conducted in 15 escape room-style venues in Yangpu District， which involved exploring the changes in physical， chemical， and microbial indicators before and after the game. ResultsThe hygiene condition of escape room-style venues in Yangpu District was generally good， with all 19 monitoring indicators not exceeding the indoor standards. The indoor carbon dioxide （CO₂） and formaldehyde concentrations increased significantly after the game but did not exceed the standards. ConclusionThe hygiene condition of escape room-style venues in Yangpu District is good. However， potential public health risks were identified in four aspects： site selection and design， length of the game， cross-contamination， and training and management.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebrovascular reactivity(CVR)and emotional disorders in the patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease(ESRD).Methods The clinical data of the ESRD patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis were collected.Anxiety and depression of the patients were assessed by the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)and Beck depression inven-tory,respectively.The cerebral hemodynamic changes during the breath holding test were monitored by transcrani-al Doppler sonography,and the breath-holding index(BHI)was calculated.The BHI≥0.69 and BHI＜0.69 indi-cate normal CVR and abnormal CVR,respectively.Binary Logistic regression was employed to analyze the factors affecting the depressive state of ESRD patients.Results The group with abnormal CVR exhibited higher total cholesterol level(P=0.010),low density lipoprotein level(P=0.006),and incidence of depression(P=0.012)than the group with normal CVR.Compared with the non-depression group,the depression group dis-played prolonged disease course(P=0.039),reduced body mass index(P=0.048),elevated HAMA score(P=0.001),increased incidence of anxiety(P＜0.001),decreased BHI(P=0.015),and increased incidence of abnormal CVR(P=0.012).Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated anxiety as a contributing factor(OR=22.915,95％CI=2.653-197.956,P=0.004)and abnormal CVR as a risk factor(OR=0.074,95％CI=0.008-0.730,P=0.026)for depression.Conclusion Impaired CVR could pose a risk for depression in the patients with ESRD.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation therapy for patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 80 PTMC patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine(Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) from January 2018 to September 2020. All cases were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received PTMC radical surgery, while the observation group received ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation. The situation of new tumors and cervical lymph node metastasis in both groups was observed through follow-up, the relative indexes of operation and safety of the two groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference in the incidence of situation of new tumors and cervical lymph node metastasis between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay in the observation group were less than those in the control group: (20.23 ± 5.07) min vs. (54.51 ± 12.13) min, (1.68 ± 0.28) ml vs.(13.68 ± 2.31) ml, (1.82 ± 0.32) d vs. (5.43 ± 0.57) d, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 5.00%(2/40) vs. 25.00%(10/40), there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of PTMC is safe and effective, minimally invasive in beauty, and can effectively reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective:To construct an early predictive model for the death of patients after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) based on the baseline information of patients and laboratory indicators.Methods:The clinical data of 139 patients who underwent ECMO in Affiliated Jinhua Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2021 were collected, including age, gender, primary disease, ECMO model, other clinical characteristics, and laboratory indicators 2 hours after establishment of ECMO. The patients were divided into training cohort ( n = 111) and validation cohort ( n = 28) according to a ratio of 4∶1. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression and multivariate Logistic regression were used to select predictive factors, and a nomogram was used to establish the predictive model. The calibration and discrimination of the model were assessed using the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), the calibration curve and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results:Four predictive variables including anion gap (AG), lactic acid (Lac), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), and serum amylase (AMY) 2 hours after ECMO were selected from 34 laboratory indicators by Lasso regression. These variables and three other clinically important factors [primary diseases, ECMO model, and acute kidney injury (AKI)] were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression (forward: LR method), Finally, four strong predictive factors (Lac-2 h, PaO 2-2 h, AMY-2 h, and primary diseases) for mortality were used to construct a nomogram [the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.85, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.78-0.92]. The optimal cut-off value of the ROC curve was 0.398 based on the maximum principle of the Youden index, corresponding to 80.2% accuracy, 89.1% sensitivity, and 68.1% specificity. The validation cohort with an in-hospital mortality of 64.3% was used to verify the performance of the model by ROC curve and Kaplan-Meier analysis. According to the optimal cut-off value of the ROC curve (0.398), the validation cohort was divided into low- and high-risk groups. Based on this model, the survival probability of the low-risk group was significantly higher than that of the high-risk group ( P = 0.018), indicating this model had good discriminative ability in the validation cohort. Based on this model, the AUC of the validation cohort was 0.76, 95% CI was 0.58-0.94, and the accuracy rate was 71.43%, which indicated this model showed good calibration consistency. Conclusions:The predictive model incorporating Lac-2 h, PaO 2-2 h, AMY-2 h, and primary diseases may be significant for predicting the in-hospital mortality of patients undergoing ECMO.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease. The diagnosis of schizophrenia so far relies heavily on subjective evidence, including self-reported experiences by patients, manifestations described by relatives, and abnormal behaviors assessed by psychiatrists. The diagnosis, monitoring of the disease progression and therapy efficacy assessment are challenging due to the lack of established laboratory biomarkers. Based on the current literature, clinical consensus, guidelines, and expert recommendations, this review highlighted evidence-based potential laboratory biomarkers for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, including genetic biomarkers, neurotransmitters, neurodevelopmental-related proteins, and intestinal flora, and discussed the potential future directions for the application of these biomarkers in this field, aiming to provide an objective basis for the use of these biomarkers in the early and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis and rehabilitation assessment of schizophrenia.

ObjectiveTo understand the characteristics of high-risk inmates’ impulsivity and to explore the influencing factors of impulsivity， so as to provide a theoretical basis for identifying the high-risk factors and making effective intervention. MethodsA total of 588 male inmates in Nanjing were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into four groups according to their violent crime reasons， high impulsiveness， borderline personality and antisocial personality. The detailed criminal records of inmates， general demographic data questionnaire， self-made substance use questionnaire， Barratt Impulsiveness Scale （BIS-11） and Childhood Trauma Questionaire-Short Form （CTQ-SF） were used to investigate， and multiple stepwise regression analysis was conducted to analysis the influencing factors of impulsivity of high-risk inmates. Results① There were statistically significant differences in age， marital status and drug use history among the four groups （F=4.890、13.945、26.137， P<0.01）. ② There were statistically significant differences in BIS-11 and CTQ-SF scores among the four groups （F=81.196， 16.208， P<0.01）. ③ Drug use history （β=1.832， P<0.05）， affective neglect （β=0.278， P<0.01） and affective abuse （β=0.307， P<0.01） had positive predictive effects on impulsivity of all high-risk inmates. Affective neglect （β=0.482， P<0.01） had a positive predictive effect on impulsivity of violent criminals. ConclusionDrug use history， affective neglect and emotional abuse were the risk factors for high impulsivity in male high-risk inmates.

The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines—with a focus on China—will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

PURPOSE: Hrd1 has recently emerged as a critical regulator of B-cells in autoimmune diseases. However, its role in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to examine Hrd1 expression and B-cell accumulation and their possible roles in CRSwNP. METHODS: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting were used to assess gene and protein expression in nasal tissue extracts. Cells isolated from nasal tissues and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were characterized by flow cytometry. Local antibody production was measured in tissue extracts with a Bio-Plex assay. Additionally, changes in Hrd1 expression in response to specific inflammatory stimuli were measured in cultured dispersed polyp cells. RESULTS: Nasal polyps (NPs) from patients with eosinophilic CRSwNP (ECRS) had increased levels of Hrd1, B-cells and plasma cells compared with NPs from patients with non-eosinophilic CRSwNP (non-ECRS) or other control subjects (P < 0.05). The average Hrd1 levels in B-cells in NPs from ECRS patients were significantly higher than those from non-ECRS patients and control subjects (P < 0.05). NPs also contained significantly increased levels of several antibody isotypes compared with normal controls (P < 0.05). Interestingly, Hrd1 expression in cultured polyp cells from ECRS patients, but not non-ECRS patients, was significantly increased by interleukin-1β, lipopolysaccharide and Poly(I:C) stimulation, and inhibited by dexamethasone treatment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Differential Hrd1 expression and B-cell accumulation between the ECRS and non-ECRS subsets suggests that they can exhibit distinct pathogenic mechanisms and play important roles in NP.
