Objective To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose antithymocyte globulin(ATG)combined with low-dose post transplantation cyclophosphamide(PTCY)in prevention of graft versus host disease(GVHD)after haploidentical transplantation.Methods Clinical data of 90 patients receiving haplotype matched transplantation in No.920 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2022 to February 2023 were collected,and they were divided into study group(n=47)and control group(n=43)according to different GVHD prevention programs.The patients of the study group were given low-dose ATG combined with low-dose PTCY,and those of the control group received standard dose of PTCY.The implantation status,occurrence of GVHD,survival status and other indicators were analyzed between the 2 groups.Results ① Both groups of patients were successfully implanted,the median duration for neutrophil implantation(11 vs 17 d,P＜0.05)and platelet implantation(12 vs 20 d,P＜0.05)was significantly shorter in the study group than the control group.The incidence of grade Ⅱ～Ⅳ aGVHD(12.8％vs 34.9％,P＜0.05)and grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ aGVHD(6.4％ vs 20.9％,P＜0.05)was significantly lower in the study group than the control group,so was the non-recurrent mortality rate(6.4％vs 20.9％,P＜0.05)and the incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis(12.8％ vs 34.9％,P＜0.05).② By the end of the study,there were no significant differences in the incidence of mild and moderate and severe cGVHD,recurrence rate,reactivation rates of EBV and CMV,overall survival rate or progression-free survival rate between the 2 groups.Conclusion For haploidentical transplantation,low-dose ATG combined with low-dose PTCY has the advantages of lower incidence of GVHD,non-recurrent mortality,incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis and faster implantation.

ObjectiveTo analyze the research status and trends in low-level occupational benzene exposure. Methods Articles on low-level occupational benzene exposure from Chinese and English journals from January 1st, 2000, to December 31th, 2022 were retrieved using the Web of Science and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted. Results A total of 327 articles were included in the analysis, comprising 216 English articles and 111 Chinese articles. i) The number of articles published in English fluctuates greatly over the years, without a trend of continuous growth or decline. Authors from 359 research institutions in 45 countries and regions have published relevant English articles in 97 kinds of journals, involving 281 grants from 226 foundations. The top three countries in terms of articles amount were the United States, Italy, and China, with 81, 46, and 43 papers, respectively. The English articles mainly focused on mechanistic research at the genetic level, such as hematotoxicity, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. ii) The number of Chinese articles increased gradually after 2012, with the growth peak in 2017. Authors from 127 research institutions in 26 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities published Chinese articles in 51 kinds of journals, involving 154 grants from 78 foundations. Chinese articles tended to focus on benzene-induced hematotoxicity and occupational health damage. Conclusion Most studies on low-level occupational benzene exposure were conducted in China, the United States and Italy, focused on hematotoxicity. Monitoring international research topics and hotspots of the field has certain reference value for related research in China.

[Objective]To establish the reference intervals of thyroid hormones in pregnant women from Sanming city and compare them with those from other areas in China.[Methods]The study recruited 605 pregnant women and 229 non-pregnant healthy women who visited Sanming First Hospital between March 29 and June 28,2023.Blood samples were se-quentially collected from the participants to determine the serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free triiodo-thyronine(FT3)and free thyroxine(FT4).The reference intervals of thyroid hormones were established by using a percen-tile range of P2.5 to P97.5 and their changes in different periods of pregnancy were analyzed and compared with those from oth-er areas in China.[Results]There were significant differences in levels of TSH,FT4 and FT3 at different periods of pregnan-cy(all P<0.05).Compared with non-pregnant women,women in first trimester had significantly decreased levels of TSH and FT4,but similar level of FT3.Since the second trimester,TSH level displayed rising tendency,while FT3 and FT4 lev-els showed gradual decrease.The reference intervals of thyroid hormones in the first,second and third trimester of pregnan-cy in Sanming city were TSH(0.068,2.943)μU/mL,FT3(4.302,6.888)pmol/L,FT4(8.240,14.719)pmol/L;TSH(0.419,3.274)μU/mL,FT3(4.074,6.629)pmol/L,FT4(6.726,11.980)pmol/L;TSH(0.422,3.570)μU/mL,FT3(3.741,5.850)pmol/L,FT4(6.103,10.347)pmol/L,respectively.Significant differences were found in the reference in-tervals of thyroid hormones during pregnancy among different areas in China.[Conclusions]The levels of TSH,FT3,FT4 during pregnancy are different from those during non-pregnancy,and also significantly differ in different periods of preg-nancy.Reference intervals of thyroid hormones in pregnant women are affected by various factors such as geographic loca-tion,ethnicity and laboratory test method,etc.Therefore,establishing the population-specific reference intervals of thy-roid hormones will benefit for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease in pregnant women from Sanming city.

Objective    To provide recommendations for the management of intensive care unit patients without novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods    We set up a focus group urgently and identified five key clinical issues through discussion. Total 23 databases or websites including PubMed, National Guideline Clearing-House, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and so on were searched from construction of the library until February 28, 2020. After group discussion and collecting information, we used GRADE system to classify the evidence and give recommendations. Then we apply the recommendations to manage pediatric intensive care unit in the department of  critical care medicine in our hospital. Results    We searched 13 321 articles and finally identified 21 liteteratures. We discussed twice, and five recommendations were proposed: (1) Patients should wear medical surgical masks; (2) Family members are not allowed to visit the ward and video visitation are used; (3) It doesn’t need to increase the frequency of environmental disinfection; (4) We should provide proper health education about the disease to non-medical staff (workers, cleaners); (5) Medical staff do not need wear protective clothing. We used these recommendations in intensive care unit management for 35 days and there was no novel coronavirus infection in patients, medical staff or non-medical staff. Conclusion    The use of evidence-based medicine for emergency recommendation is helpful for the scientific and efficient management of wards, and is also suitable for the management of general intensive care units in emergent public health events.

Objective To explore the prevalence of depressive disorder in the Mosuo ethnic minority in Ninglang district,Yunnan Province.Methods By stratified random sampling,1 121 Mosuo subjects aged 15 or above were selected and assessed by the MINI-international neuropsychiatric interview according to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V-TR Axis I Disorders-Patient Edition for mental disorders.Results The standardized time-point prevalence of major depressive disorder in Mosuo nationality was 1.74％,and 1.69％ (95 ％ CI =1.32％-2.15 ％) in males and 1.77％ (95 ％ CI =1.39％-2.15 ％) in females.There was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of major depressive disorder between males and females (x2 =0.051,P＞0.05).The standardized time-point prevalence of dysthymic disorder in Mosuo nationality was 0.78％,and 0.66％ (95％ CI=0.54％-0.78％) in males and 0.88％ (95％ CI=0.74％-1.02％) in females (x2=1.232,P＞0.05).Those aged 40-54 years old had the highest adjusted prevalence of depressive episodes(1.48％ (95％CI=0.77％-2.18％)).Conclusion The prevalence of depressive disorder in Mosuo nationality is in a low level,and the middle-age Mosuo people has the highest time-point prevalence.

PurposeArtifacts of metal implantation severely affect image quality of CT or MRI examination, which restricts the display of local soft tissue lesions after orthopaedic surgery. This study aims to explore the application value of ultrasound examination in local soft tissue lesions after metal implant surgery.Materials and Methods Seventy patients with metal implantation after various orthopedic surgeries received US examination, and such sonographic features were recorded as lesion morphology, size, internal echo, edge, with/without capsule and calcification, and blood flow. Moreover, the clinical and radiologic data of patients like X-ray, CT and MRI were compared with the US results so as to determine the sensitivity of ultrasonic examination.Results The peripheral nerve injury might lead to thickened swelling and echo reduction. Ultrasonography revealed 20 cases of hematoma formation, 5 cases of abscess, 5 cases of pseudoaneurysm, 3 cases of myositis ossificans, 15 cases of bone tumor recurrence and 12 cases of peripheral nerve injury in operative region. Compared with the clinical results , the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis of the study reached 89.4%, 75.0% and 88.6%, respectively, which were signiifcantly higher than those of X-ray, CT and MRI (χ2=78.642, 46.596 and 61.371,P<0.01). The ultrasonic results showed that most hematomas had clear boundary with homogenous echo inside to echo-free zone. Abscesses mostly displayed cystic or hybrid echo with floatable intracavitary pus spots echo, and no blood flow signal existed in the central area of color Doppler. Pseudoaneurysm in the US showed cystic mass around artery, blood flow rotating in capsule, and the typical two-stage bi-spectrum signal in the neck of capsule. Myositis ossiifcans showed intramuscular irregular hyperecho with acoustic shadow. When bone tumor recurred, US showed hypoechoic soft tissue mass with moth-eaten bone destruction, and blood flow signals within the mass were often detected.Conclusion Ultrasonography has relatively high accuracy in observing soft tissues around metal implantation, which can be used as a premier method.
