ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze an outbreak of rotavirus infectious diarrhea in a prison in Chongqing Municipality, to provide a basis for adult rotavirus surveillance and prevention, and to explore the public health problems in special settings. MethodsA retrospective survey was conducted to collect and analyze data on individual cases with diarrheal disease on-site. The clinical characteristics, as well as the temporal, spatial and geographical distribution patterns of the epidemic were described. Multi-pathogen detection tests were conducted both on diarrhea cases and environmental samples, with viral genotyping performed on positive samples. A case-control analysis was performed to identify the causes of the outbreak, and an SEIR model was adopted to predict the outbreak trend and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. ResultsA total of 65 cases were found among the inmates, with an attack rate of 2.03%. The predominant clinical manifestations included diarrhea (89.23%), watery stool (73.85%), and dehydration (18.46%). The epidemic curve indicated a “human-to-human” transmission pattern, with an average incubation period of 5‒6 days. The attack rates among chefs in the main canteen (80.00%, 8/10) and caterers (28.33%, 17/60) were significantly higher than those of other inmates （P<0.05）. Multi-pathogen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing detected positive for group A rotavirus, with the viral genotyping identified as G9P [8] strain. Factors such as unprotected "bare-handed" food distribution among cases with diarrhea (OR=9.512, 95%CI: 4.261‒21.234) and close contact with diarrhea cases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.719‒7.778) were the possible cause of the outbreak. The SEIR model (r₀=5, α=0.3, β₁=0.08, β₂=0.04) was constructed using prison inmates as susceptible population, aiming at fitting the initial transmission trend of the outbreak, and the epidemic rate declined rapidly after intervention measures were implemented (r_t≈0). ConclusionThis rare rotavirus infection diarrhea outbreak among adults in confined settings suggests that the construction of public health prevention and control systems in prison may be overlooked. Cross infection during meal processing and distribution in the canteens of such settings is likely to be the cause of the outbreak. Given the potential neglect of public heath system construction in special settings, it is imperative to enhance the surveillance and monitoring of rotavirus and other intestinal multi-pathogens among adults, as well as the construction of public health prevention and control systems in these special settings.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features and outcomes of critically ill pregnant and parturient women with chronic hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection， and to provide clinical experience for the rescue of critically ill pregnant and parturient women and the prevention and treatment of the severe exacerbation of liver disease. MethodsA total of 41 pregnant and parturient women with chronic HBV infection who were admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine， Nanjing Second Hospital， from March 2013 to March 2023 were enrolled in this study， and their clinical data were collected through the electronic medical record system of hospital to summarize the main causes of transfer to the intensive care unit （ICU）， the causes of death， and treatment. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 41 patients， 13 （31.71%） did not receive regular antenatal examination and 8 （19.51%） with a high viral load （HBV DNA ≥2×10⁵ IU/mL） did not receive antiviral therapy. Cesarean section was the main mode of delivery in 32 patients （78.05%）； 23 patients （56.10%） had premature delivery， and 5 patients died （12.20%）. The top three causes of transfer to the ICU were liver failure， postpartum hemorrhage， and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Liver failure mainly occurred in late pregnancy， with hepatic encephalopathy as the most common complication （28.57%） and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy as the most common comorbidity （21.43%）； among the 14 patients with liver failure， 6 （42.86%） received regular antenatal examination， and 13 （92.86%） did not receive antiviral therapy before admission. The mean length of ICU stay was 3.31±1.65 days for the patients with postpartum hemorrhage， among whom the patients with severe liver disease had coagulation disorders before delivery， which were difficult to correct after 48 hours of treatment. ConclusionPregnant and parturient women with chronic HBV infection tend to have complex conditions and a relatively high mortality rate. For pregnant and parturient women with chronic HBV infection， assessment of liver status， regular antenatal examination， and timely antiviral therapy are of vital importance to reduce severe exacerbation and mortality rate.

The analysis of nano-micro nuclear particles has attracted significant attention due to the crucial role of their elemental and isotopic characteristics in tracing the origins of particulate matter and assessing its potential risks to human health and the environment.However,challenges persist in obtaining accurate and consistent element profiles and ratios for small-sized nanoparticles due to their low level and the transient nature.In this study,a high-speed digital oscilloscope was integrated with multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(MC-ICP-MS)to develop a high time-resolution"Event-triggered signal capture"(ETSC)system for single particle analysis.This innovative approach enabled the analysis of element/isotope within rare earth nanoparticles at ag-fg level.The ETSC accurately recorded the complete profile of single particle,event captured by the electron multiplier with nanosecond time resolution,allowing for high-sensitivity element analysis and high-precision isotope analysis of single particles.The results demonstrated that the ETSC system could achieve quantitative analysis of ag levels of ytterbium(Yb)in 50-nm rare earth-doped particles,with a detection limit as low as 38 ag for Yb.Moreover,the isotopic precision of single particle analysis for 173/171Yb could reach 0.047(standard deviation),and the standard error for isotopic analysis of multiple particles could achieve a level of 2‰-3‰(permil)for 173/171Yb.Finally,the capability of ETSC system to analyze environmental samples was demonstrated through the analysis of doped ytterbium oxide nanoparticles.All these findings demonstrated that the ETSC provided a unique method for elemental and isotopic analysis of single nuclear particles.

Objective To develop effective measures to reduce antibiotic use duration in very low birth weight(VLBW)preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit through quality improvement methods.Methods The study population consisted of hospitalized VLBW preterm infants,with the percentage of hospitalization time during which antibiotics were used from November 2020 to June 2021 serving as the baseline.The specific quality improvement goal was to reduce the duration of antibiotic use.Factors affecting antibiotic use duration in preterm infants were analyzed using Pareto charts.Key drivers were identified,and specific interventions were formulated based on the stages of antibiotic use.Changes in the percentage of antibiotic use duration were monitored with run charts until the quality improvement target was achieved.Results From November 2020 to June 2021,the baseline antibiotic use duration percentage was 49%,with a quality improvement target to reduce this by 10%within 12 months.The Pareto analysis indicated that major factors influencing antibiotic duration included non-standard antibiotic use;delayed cessation of antibiotics when no infection evidence was present;prolonged central venous catheter placement;insufficient application of kangaroo care;and delayed progress in enteral nutrition.The interventions implemented included:(1)establishing sepsis evaluation and management standards;(2)educating medical staff on the rational use of antibiotics for preterm infants;(3)supervising the enforcement of antibiotic use standards during ward rounds;(4)for those without clear signs of infection and with negative blood cultures,discontinued the use of antibiotics 36 hours after initiation;(5)reducing the duration of central venous catheterization and parenteral nutrition to lower the risk of infection in preterm infants.The control chart showed that with continuous implementation of interventions,the percentage of antibiotic use duration was reduced from 49%to 32%,a statistically significant decrease.Conclusions The application of quality improvement tools based on statistical principles and process control may significantly reduce the antibiotic use duration in VLBW preterm infants.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of early surgical treatment for spinal thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with spinal thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury who were admitted to the department of spinal surgery in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different operation timing,those who underwent surgery within 72 hours after fracture were included in the early operation group(n=41),and those who underwent surgery 72 hours to 2 weeks after fracture were included in the elective operation group(n=39).All operations were performed through the Wiltse approach for short-segment pedicle screw fixation on the injured vertebra.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay and incidence of complication of the two groups were compared.The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Oswestry disability index(ODI),compression rate of the anterior edge height of the injured vertebra,and the Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra before surgery,1 week after surgery and 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups.The improvement rates of the anterior edge height compression and the Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,intraoperative blood loss or total incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The hospital stay in the early operation group was shorter than that in the elective operation group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS scores and ODI 1 week and 1 year after surgery of the two groups were better than those before surgery,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the VAS scores or ODI at each time point before and after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The compression rate of the anterior edge height and Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery in the two groups were lower/smaller than those before surgery,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the compression rate of the anterior edge height or Cobb angle before surgery in the sagittal position of the injured vertebrae between the two groups(P>0.05).The compression rate of the anterior edge height and Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery in the early operation group were lower/smaller than those in the elective operation group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The improvement rates of the anterior edge height compression and the Cobb angle in the sagittal position of the injured vertebra 1 week and 1 year after surgery in the early operation group were better than those in the elective operation group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Early surgical treatment for spinal thoracolumbar fracture without nerve damage is safe,it can significantly shorten hospitalization time,obtain good fracture reduction quality and definite therapeutic effects.However,a comprehensive preoperative evaluation of the patients' condition is necessary to ensure surgical safety.
