Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among drug users in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide insights into strengthening HCV intervention among drug users. Methods: Drug users under community management in Baoshan District from 2017 to 2023 were recruited. Demographic information, drug use behaviors, sexual behaviors and receipt of intervention service were collected through questionnaire surveys. Blood samples were collected for HCV antibody testing, and the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was analyzed. Factors affecting the prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 2 801 drug users were surveyed, including 2 233 males (79.72%) and 568 females (20.28%). The majority of drug users were aged 40 to <60 years (1 663 drug users, 59.37%). The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody was 28.35%, showing an overall upward trend from 2017 to 2023 (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that females (OR=1.468, 95%CI: 1.169-1.844), 40 years and over (40 to <50 years, OR=2.441, 95%CI: 1.838-3.242; 50 to <60 years, OR=2.377, 95%CI: 1.787-3.161; 60 to 97 years, OR=1.637, 95%CI: 1.163-2.304), using traditional drugs (OR=2.488, 95%CI: 1.967-3.147) or mixed drugs (OR=2.950, 95%CI: 1.974-4.409), having injected drugs (not share needles, OR=3.649, 95%CI: 2.849-4.673; share needles, OR=3.532, 95%CI: 1.851-6.738) and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants in the past year (OR=1.975, 95%CI: 1.354-2.879) were associated with a higher prevalence of anti-HCV antibody; the educational level of high school/technical secondary school (OR=0.483, 95%CI: 0.280-0.835) or college and above (OR=0.280, 95%CI: 0.129-0.608) was associated with a lower prevalence of anti-HCV antibody. Conclusions The prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users in Baoshan District showed an upward trend from 2017 to 2023. Gender, age, educational level, type of drugs, history of drug injection and never using condoms during sexual contacts with spouses/cohabitants were influencing factors for prevalence of anti-HCV antibody among drug users.

Abstract In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.

For Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), surgical resection is the only effective way to cure this disease. However, it has high postoperative mortality and high recurrence rate. Domestic and foreign scholars have constructed statistics-based evaluation methods to predict patients′ postoperative survival and complications, such as nomogram, scoring system and other prognostic models. Based on these methods, clinicians can better select patients who can benefit from surgery and choose the optimal? treatment for more severe patients. Through the adoption of other treatments or some ways to ameliorate some preoperative condition, to improve the patient′s mortality and survival. This article reviews the prognostic risk factors and prognostic models of pCCA in order to provide a reference for clinicians to predict the prognosis about the surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypes, molecular features, and differential diagnosis of BAP1 mutated clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) for better understanding this entity.Methods:Clinical data, histological morphology, immunophenotypes and molecular characteristics of 18 BAP1 mutated CCRCC cases diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China from January 2020 to December 2022 were analyzed. The patients were followed up.Results:There were 17 males and 1 female patients, aged from 39 to 72 years, with an average age of 56.3 years. Sixteen patients with primary CCRCC were followed up for an average of 24 months, 7 patients had metastases occurred from 4 to 22 months postoperatively. Thirteen of the 16 patients were alive at the time of the last follow-up while 3 patients died 12, 15, and 20 months after the surgery, respectively. One patient underwent retroperitoneal mass resection, but had lung metastasis 32 months after surgery. One case received cervical tumor resection and died at 22 months after the surgery. Characteristic CCRCC regions were identified in 11 of the 18 cases. The tumor cells were arranged in papillary, alveolar, and large nest patterns. Abundant lymphoid tissue, necrosis, and psammoma bodies were seen. Tumor cells showed abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and sometimes exhibited rhabdoid differentiation. Round eosinophilic globules were located in the cytoplasm and extracellular matrix. There were 9 cases with WHO/International Society of Urological Pathology grade 3, and 9 cases with grade 4. PAX8 (18/18), carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9, 16/18), CD10 (18/18), and vimentin (18/18) were positive in the vast majority of tumors.TFE3 was expressed in 5 cases, with strong expression in only 1 case. Eighteen cases were all positive for P504s. Twelve cases harbored a BAP1 mutation combined with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) mutation, and 2 cases had mutations in BAP1, VHL and PBRM1 simultaneously. SETD2 mutation was not found in any of the cases.Conclusions:BAP1 mutated CCRCC contained papillary, alveolar, and large nest patterns, eosinophilic cytoplasm, high-grade nucleoli, and collagen globules, with P504s positivity. In practical work, when encountering CCRCC containing these features, pathologists should consider the possibility of BAP1 mutations and conduct related molecular tests.

Objective:To construct an analytic method aimed at the characteristics of the commonly method of supplementing and pouring of acupuncture based on the analysis and modeling of ultrasound images around acupoint region in the process of acupuncture.Methods:A total of 7 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination in Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital from June,2022 to June,2023 were selected,and their Kongzui acupoints were acupunctured by 10 acupuncturists with associate senior title as 4 kinds of acupuncture manipulations included reinforcing by twisting and rotating(RFTR),reducing by twisting and rotating(RDTR),reinforcing by lifting and thrusting(RFLT),and reducing by lifting and thrusting(RDLT).The B-ultrasound diagnostic device was used to collect the images of muscle and fascial tissue below the acupoint,so as to construct the model of images.The definition of virtual acupuncture point was adopted to study the regulation of perturbation of subcutaneous tissue that was caused after the skin was acupunctured by needle.The change regulation of the virtual acupuncture point of muscle bundle below skin at Zuikong acupoint of subjects was analyzed.Results:The difference value of average absolution value between peak and trough of the trajectory of virtual acupuncture point of twisting and rotating was 0.066±0.045,and the average value of amplitude of this method was less than that(0.428±0.276)of lifting and thrusting method,and the twisting and rotating method was uniform and symmetrical,and there was difference between two kinds of acupuncture methods.The characteristics of computer graphics was used to qualify the work effect of lifting and thrusting,and reinforcing and reducing,which showed the heavy insertion and light lifting of RFLT,and showed heavy lifting and light insertion of RDLT,thus distinguished the two methods[(RFLT)and(RDLT)].Conclusions:The ultrasound imaging and computer graphics can be used to analyze the regularity of the common"reinforcing and reducing"method of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury and validate its effectiveness.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 381 patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022, including 311 males and 70 females, aged 12-86 years [(55.1±12.9)years]. A total of 121 patients (31.8%) were complicated with neurogenic shock. The patients were randomly divided into training set ( n=267) and validation set ( n=114) with a ratio of 7∶3. The training set was divided into neurogenic shock group ( n=81) and non-neurogenic shock group ( n=186) according to whether they were complicated with neurogenic shock. The general data, clinical data, laboratory indicators and imaging data of the patients were collected. Univariate analysis was used to determine differences in the aforementioned indicators between the neurogenic shock group and non-neurogenic shock group in the training set. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the predictors for neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury, and regression equation was constructed. A nomogram prediction model based on the regression equation was plotted with R programming language. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the training set and validation set were plotted, when the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the discriminability of the model. The calibration of the model was assessed with calibration curves. The clinical applicability of the model was evaluated by the decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:The univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, tracheal intubation, serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission, intramedullary lesion length (IMLL), maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC), increased signal intensity (ISI), and highest damaged segment between the neurogenic shock group and non-neurogenic shock group in the training set ( P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that AISA grade (grade C vs. grade A: OR=0.13, 95% CI 0.03, 0.59, P<0.01; grade D vs.grade A: OR=0.04, 95% CI 0.01, 0.28, P<0.01), serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission ( OR=0.75, 95% CI 0.65, 0.86, P<0.01), IMLL ( OR=2.71, 95% CI 1.68, 4.38, P<0.01), ISI (grade 2 vs.grade 0: OR=5.62, 95% CI 1.07, 29.48, P<0.05), and highest damaged segment ( OR=0.49, 95% CI 0.29, 0.83, P<0.01) were predictors for neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. Based on the 5 forementioned variables, the regression equation was constructed as follows: Logit[ P/(1- P)]=10.99-1.06×＂AISA grade＂-0.29×＂serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission＂+1.04×＂IMLL＂+0.89×＂ISI＂-0.74×＂highest damaged segment＂. In the prediction model constructed based on the equation, the AUC values of the training set and validation set were 0.97 (95% CI 0.97, 0.99) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.91, 0.99). Calibration curves of the training set and validation set demonstrated the prediction curve roughly overlapped with the reference curve and the mean absolute errors of the two sets were 0.013 and 0.050. DCA results showed that the net benefit rate of patients was greater than 0 when the threshold probability ranged from 0% to 97% for the training set and from 0% to 100% for the validation set. Conclusion:The prediction model based on the AISA grade, serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission, IMLL, ISI, and highest damaged segment demonstrates good discriminability, calibration and clinical applicability in predicting neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.

Objective To analyze the concentration and exposure of vancomycin in children with gram-positive coccal infection,and the corresponding clinical efficacy and safety to support rational use of vancomycin in children.Methods We prospectively collected the clinical and laboratory data of 87 children with gram-positive coccal infection in the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2012 to March 2021.Therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)was conducted for vancomycin simultaneously,to acquire the data of serum through concentration(Cmin),peak concentration(Cmax),the area under the drug concentration-time curve in a 24-h interval(AUC0-24h)and the ratio ofAUC0-24h to the minimum inhibitory concentration(AUC0-24h/MIC).Results The median(P25,P75)age of the children enrolled in this study was 3.60(1.20,20.00)months.The median dose of vancomycin was 39.23(30.00,46.51)mg/kg.The median serum Cmin was 3.30(1.50,7.10)mg/L.Cmin achieved the target(5-15 mg/L)in 23 cases(26.4％).The median AUC0-24h was 213(174,293)mg·h/L and the median AUC0-24h/MIC was 221(128,349).Adaily dose of above 60 mg/kg in children could achieve the median value of AUC0-24h and AUC0-24h/MIC greater than 400,and the corresponding median age was 28.50(6.85,36.00)months.Multivariate logistic analysis showed a good correlation between Cmin and AUC0-24h(P=0.002).At the end of treatment,the clinical efficacy rate was 85.1％(74/87)and the bacterial eradication rate was 95.4％(83/87).No renal injury occurred during the treatment.Conclusions In this study,the median daily dosage,Cmin and A UC0-24h/MIC of vancomycin were below the recommended range at home and abroad.However,good clinical and microbiological efficacy were achieved in children at low vancomycin exposure.The probability of target attainment(PTA)for A UC0-24h and AUC0-24h/MIC ≥400 increased when the daily dose of vancomycin was＞60 mg/kg(corresponding to the median age of 28.50 months)or Cmin ≥ 5 mg/L.

Chemical cleaning and disinfection are crucial steps for eliminating infection in root canal treatment.However,irrigant selection or irrigation procedures are far from clear.The vapor lock effect in the apical region has yet to be solved,impeding irrigation efficacy and resulting in residual infections and compromised treatment outcomes.Additionally,ambiguous clinical indications for root canal medication and non-standardized dressing protocols must be clarified.Inappropriate intracanal medication may present side effects and jeopardize the therapeutic outcomes.Indeed,clinicians have been aware of these concerns for years.Based on the current evidence of studies,this article reviews the properties of various irrigants and intracanal medicaments and elucidates their effectiveness and interactions.The evolution of different kinetic irrigation methods,their effects,limitations,the paradigm shift,current indications,and effective operational procedures regarding intracanal medication are also discussed.This expert consensus aims to establish the clinical operation guidelines for root canal irrigation and a position statement on intracanal medication,thus facilitating a better understanding of infection control,standardizing clinical practice,and ultimately improving the success of endodontic therapy.
