In 2022， Hainan provincial government launched the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis with the goals of a hepatitis B screening rate of 90%， a diagnostic rate of 90%， and a treatment rate of 80% among people aged 18 years and above by the year 2025， and the main intervention measures include population-based prevention， case screening， antiviral therapy， and health management. As of December 31， 2024， a total of 6.875 million individuals in the general population had been screened for hepatitis B， with a screening rate of 95.6%. A total of 184 710 individuals with positive HBsAg were identified， among whom 156 772 were diagnosed through serological reexamination， resulting in a diagnostic rate of 84.9%. A total of 50 742 patients with chronic hepatitis B were identified， among whom 42 921 had hepatitis B-specific health records established for health management， with a file establishment rate of 84.6%. A total of 31 553 individuals received antiviral therapy， with a treatment rate of 62.2%. A total of 2.503 million individuals at a high risk of hepatitis C were screened， among whom 4 870 tested positive for HCV antibody and 3 858 underwent HCV RNA testing， resulting in a diagnostic rate of 79.2%， and 1 824 individuals with positive HCV RNA were identified， among whom 1 194 received antiviral therapy， with a treatment rate of 65.5%. In addition， 159 301 individuals with negative HBsAg and anti-HBs and an age of 20 — 40 years were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine free of charge. Through the implementation of the project for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis， a large number of hepatitis patients have been identified， treated， and managed in the province within a short period of time， which significantly accelerates the efforts to eliminate the crisis of viral hepatitis.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics and incidence trend of syphilis in Shiyan City, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating syphilis control strategies. Methods Descriptive epidemiological statistical analysis on the data of syphilis cases from 2008 to 2020 in Shiyan City was performed. Results A total of 9 578 syphilis cases were reported in Shiyan City from 2008 to 2020, with the reported incidence rate ranging from 16.80/100 000 to 27.48/100 000. The reported incidence rate of syphilis showed a downward trend from 2008 to 2014 (χ² trend=44.869, P=0.000), and an upward trend from 2015 to 2020 (χ² trend=69.642, P=0.000). The composition ratio of syphilis in each stage had changed, with a decreasing trend in stage I and II syphilis. The composition ratio of recessive syphilis cases increased from 58.90% in 2008 to 93.10% in 2020, and gradually became the main epidemic type. No cases of fetal syphilis were reported in the past three years. The incidence rate of syphilis reported from 2008 to 2020 was generally higher in women than that in men, with a male to female ratio of 0.67:1. Occupations were mainly farmer, housework, and unemployment. The high incidence areas of syphilis in Shiyan City included mainly Maojian District, Zhangwan District, and Fangxian County, with the annual reported incidence rates being 38.40/100 000, 37.97/100 000, and 29.37/100 000, respectively. Conclusion The syphilis epidemic in Shiyan City from 2008 to 2020 has showed a trend of first decline and then rise. The prevention and treatment of syphilis in key populations and key areas should be strengthened according to the epidemiological characteristics of syphilis to control the spread of syphilis and reduce the harm to the public.

Gingival mesenchymal stem cells(GMSCs)are a population of mesenchymal stem cells found in the lamina propria of gingi-val tissue and can be isolated not only from healthy gingival tissue but also from hyperplastic or even inflamed gingival tissue.GMSCs have become a hot topic of research in oral disease treatment because of their abundant sources,easy availability,unique immunomod-ulatory properties and multi-directional differentiation potential.GMSCs have been used in the treatment of periodontitis,gingival reces-sion,oral cancer,mandibular defects,peripheral nerve injury repair and so on.To prevent and treat oral diseases,this study will re-view the recent progress of research on the application of GMSCs in oral diseases.

Objective:To optimize and compare method for hepatitis E virus (HEV) nucleic acid detection from pig liver, and provide technical references for HEV detection in animal viscera specimens.Methods:Three methods (PBS homogenization treatment, proteinase K treatment, chloroform extraction method) were used to pretreat and extract viral nucleic acid form pig liver, which was artificially contaminated with HEV fecal suspensions, and HEV RT-qPCR was used to compare the HEV recovery rate and inhibition rate. The optimized HEV method was applied to commercially available pig liver specimens, and HEV genotyping was performed on positive specimens.Results:The HEV recovery rate of PBS homogenization treatment, proteinase K treatment and chloroform extraction method was 9.88%, 0.19% and 17.28%, respectively. The recovery rate of proteinase K treatment was less than 1%, and it was discarded; t-test was performed to compare recovery rates of the other two methods, which showed statistically significant differences ( t=26.801, P<0.001), the chloroform extraction method had a higher recovery rate. The inhibition rates of the three methods were all less than 75%, within the range of the ISO/TS 15216-2∶2019 standard. Among 192 commercially available pig liver specimens, 17 specimens were detected positive for HEV RNA, with a nucleic acid positive rate of 8.85%; five specimens were successfully genotyped for HEV, all of which were genotype 4. Conclusions:The virus recovery effect was good when chloroform extraction method was used for pig liver pretreatment; moreover, this method could detect HEV RNA from commercially available pig livers, which indicate that it can be used for virus detection in food.

ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials)F2052-21(Chinese corresponding standard titled as YY/T 0987.2)introduces a test method to measure the magnetically induced displacement force on medical devices in the magnetic resonance environment.This method has been widely accepted and utilized globally,which is intended for implantable medical devices that can be suspended from a string.The angular deflection of the string from the vertical is measured and thereby measuring out the magnitude of the magnetically induced deflection force relative to gravity.When applying this method on ultralight implants,it is practically almost impossible to use a suspension string that weighs less than 1%of the mass of the implant.That study proposes a method for measuring the magnetically induced displacement force on ultralight implants based on counterweight correction by using a string and clamp that exceed 1%of the weight of the implant.And then to measure the deflection angle according to the standard requirement,following that to correct the deflection angle by using the proportion of the mass of the implant under test to the total mass of the tested object,to obtain the measurement result.That study also provides theoretical calculations and experimental verification to the counterweight correction method,the results prove that the proposed method can effectively measure the magnetically induced displacement force on ultralight implants.

Objective To evaluate the performance of large language models in answering questions about childhood asthma, comprehensively understand the quality of their provision of information on children's health, and identify their limitations to facilitate model improvement. Methods Sixty common questions related to childhood asthma were formulated and put to two large language models known as Wenxin Yiyan and Zhipu Qingyan, which were publicly available in China. Three pediatric asthma specialists assessed the quality of the large language models'responses by using a blind method. Results Wenxin Yiyan scored higher in terms of accuracy, understanding, reliability, and logicality; Zhipu Qingyan scored higher in term of safety. Comparing the scores of the five different dimensions, it was found that large language models scored higher in terms of understanding, reliability and logicality, but relatively insufficient in terms of accuracy and safety. Conclusion Application of large language models in the education of children with asthma can provide useful references for asthma children and their parents. However, the current large language model technology still has certain limitations in terms of accuracy and safety, which requires further improvement and optimization.

Objective:To observe the role of Huaiqihuang Granules (HQ) in the long-term management of bronchial asthma in young children, and the effective effect on concomitant rhinitis.Methods:A prospective real-world multicenter study was conducted in children aged 2-5 years with asthma diagnosed in the outpatient department (from April 2016 to March 2019)who received either inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)/leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA)(control group); inhaled ICS/LTRA plus HQ(combination group), or HQ alone(HQ group). All patients were followed up at week 4, 8, 12 after treatment. The number of days with asthma symptoms, the frequency of severe asthma attacks, the level of asthma control, and the days with rhinitis symptoms in the last 4 weeks were recorded. Differences before and after treatment, and those among groups after treatment were compared using Kruskal- Wallis H test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:A total of 2 234 eligible patients were recruited, and 2 147 cases completed followed-up visits, including 477, 1 374 and 296 cases in the control group, combination group, and HQ group, respectively. After the treatment, all 3 groups showed significant declines in the days with asthma symptoms, frequency of severe asthma attack and the days with rhinitis symptoms (all P<0.01), and the rate of well-controlled asthma increased significantly ( P<0.01). It lasted until the end of follow-up. Among groups, patients in the combination group showed significantly less days of asthma symptoms than those of the other 2 group at week 8 and 12[0(0, 0.9) d vs.0(0, 0.3) d, P<0.05; 0(0, 0.1) d vs. 0(0, 1.0) d, P<0.01]. Patients in the combination group and HQ group showed a significantly lower rate of severe asthma attacks than that of the control group at week 12 [0(0, 1), 0(0, 1), 0(0, 2), all P<0.05]. The well-controlled rate of asthma in the combination group was significantly higher than that of the control group and HQ group at week 8 and 12 (89.6% vs. 85.9% vs.82.1%, H=15.28; 90.9% vs. 84.1% vs. 81.8%, χ2=29.32, all P<0.01). Conclusions:HQ can significantly alleviate symptoms of asthma and rhinitis, severe attack of asthma, and increase the control rate of asthma when used as an additional treatment or used alone.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and missed diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of prostate (IDC-P) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.Methods:The preoperative PSA, prostate MRI, bone scans and lung CT of all patients who underwent prostate biopsy in Department of Urology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2018 to July 2020 were reviewed. A total of 261 patients with high suspicion of metastatic prostate cancer were screened for inclusion. Two full-time senior pathologists of urogenital tumors in Xiangya Hospital independently reviewed their pathological sections and detected IDC-P according to the 2016 WHO tumor classification. Diagnostic criteria are defined as malignant epithelial cells filling large acini and prostatic ducts, with preservation of basal cells and solid or dense cribriform pattern/loose cribriform or micropapillary pattern with either marked nuclear atypia or non-focal comedonecrosis.Results:The detection rate of IDC-P was 29.12%(76/261), while the actual reporting rate was only 9.96%(26/261). The results of subgroup analysis including age, PSA level, Gleason score as well as different metastatic sites showed that detection rate of IDC-P was 33.69% in the PSA≥50 ng/ml subgroup, much higher than 17.57% in the PSA <50 ng/ml subgroup ( P=0.0039); And it was 32.33% in the Gleason score ≥ 8 subgroup, much higher than 3.45% in the Gleason score < 8 subgroup ( P<0.01). It was not significantly different in different age subgroups as well as different metastatic site subgroups. These data suggest that PSA ≥ 50 ng/ml as well as Gleason score ≥ 8 may be risk factors of IDC-P.157 samples were stained by immunohistochemistry. The detection rates of IDC-P were 84.21% (16/19) in P63 (+ ) samples, 36.00% (9/25) in ERG (+ ) samples. There were 3 samples with both P63 (+ ) and ERG (+ ), all of which had IDC-P. Conclusions:There is misdiagnosis of IDC-P on prostate needle biopsy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer currently. PSA ≥ 50 ng/ml and Gleason score ≥ 8 are risk factors of IDC-P. Thus, attention should be paid to the possibility of IDC-P in such patients. When the diagnosis is difficult, immunohistochemical staining for ERG and P63 is helpful in IDC-P determination.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the status quo of death cognition and hospice care attitude of clinical medical graduate students, to compare the differences between the two groups, and to explore the correlation between death cognition and hospice care attitude, so as to provide the reference for the reform and construction of death cognition and hospice care education in medical colleges and universities in China.Methods:A survey was carried out on 496 doctoral and postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine by using the "Questionnaire of General Sociology Survey", the Chinese version of the "Death Attitude Profile Revised Scale", and the Chinese version of the "Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B (FATCOD-B)" to investigate the death cognition and hospice care attitude of 496 doctoral and postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, and classified and compared the survey results of the two groups. The results of this study were statistically analyzed by t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and other statistical methods. Results:A total of 469 valid questionnaires were recovered after excluding 27 unqualified questionnaires. Statistical analysis showed that the scores of each dimension in the death attitude description scale of doctoral students were ranked as follows: approach acceptance (4.28±0.53), neutral acceptance (3.99±0.41), death avoidance (2.74±0.63), fear of death (2.65±0.57) and escape acceptance (2.47±0.69) the scores of postgraduates were ranked as neutral acceptance (3.96±0.52), approach acceptance (2.84±0.61), fear of death (2.78±0.65), death escape (2.62±0.73), escape acceptance (2.39±0.77). At the same time, the scores of hospice care attitude in the doctoral group were higher than those in the master group [(110.63±8.96) vs. (106.78±6.52)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). In addition, the scores of "fear of death" and the scores of hospice care attitudes were negatively correlated with the scores of doctoral and master students ( r=-0.25, r=-0.21), while the scores of hospice care attitudes were positively correlated with the scores of "neutral acceptance" in death cognition ( r=0.50, r=0.32). However, the hospice care attitude scores of doctoral students were negatively correlated with the "death avoidance" scores in death cognition ( r=-0.27). Conclusion:Doctoral and postgraduate students have a certain awareness of hospice care, while their death cognition and hospice care attitude still need to be improved and strengthened from sociology, psychology, ethics and other perspectives. The above will promote the harmony between doctors and patients while meeting the needs of an aging society in China.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of phenolamine in the treatment of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction and its effect on cardiac function, myocardial injury index, and hemodynamics in patients.Methods:The clinical data of 79 patients with sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction who received treatment in Huangshi Central Hospital, Edong Healthcare Group from February 2017 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into a control group (without phenolamine treatment, n = 41) and an observation group (with phenolamine treatment, n = 38) according to whether they received phenolamine treatment or not. Clinical efficacy, cardiac function, myocardial injury index, and hemodynamic index pre- and post-treatment were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Intensive care unit length of stay and mechanical ventilation duration in the observation group were (9.33 ± 3.52) days and 83.00 (28.50, 138.00) hours, which were significantly shorter than (12.17 ± 4.15) days and 111.00 (47.50, 169.00) hours in the control group ( t = 3.26, Z = -2.27, both P < 0.05). The response rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [81.58% (31/38) vs. 60.98% (25/41), χ2 = 4.05, P < 0.05]. After 7 days of treatment, the left ventricular ejection fraction in each group was significantly increased, and the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter in each group were significantly decreased compared with before treatment (all P < 0.05). After 7 days of treatment, the left ventricular ejection fraction in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 3.29, P < 0.05), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 5.94, 11.21, both P < 0.05). N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I levels in each group were significantly decreased with time (both P < 0.05). At 24 and 72 hours and 7 days after treatment, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponin I levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P < 0.05). After 7 days of treatment, heart rate in each group decreased significantly compared with that before treatment (both P < 0.05), mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, and stroke output index in each group increased significantly compared with those before treatment (all P < 0.05). After 7 days of treatment, heart rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( t = 4.90, P < 0.05), and mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, and stroke output index in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 4.37, 3.23, 6.01, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Phentolamine can improve hemodynamics, reduce myocardial injury and improve cardiac function in patients with sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.
