ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological features and influencing factors of rabies in Shanxi Province，and to provide evidence to further promote the elimination of rabies in Shanxi Province. MethodsThe incidence data of rabies in Shanxi from 2011 to 2022 were collected and subjected to descriptive analysis. ResultsFrom 2011 to 2022， a total of 348 rabies cases were reported in Shanxi Province， with an average annual incidence of 0.080 3/10⁵. The incidence of rabies showed a downward trend overall. The highest incidence was in August. The cases were mainly farmers， mostly males， and most cases were reported between 50 and 69 years old. The data of cases showed that dogs were the main animals attacking human （93.96%）. The incubation period of most cases was 1‒3 months （37.37%）.The main exposure site was hand（51.33%）. Only 2.66% cases with grade Ⅲ exposure were injected with passive immune agents. ConclusionThe incidence of rabies in Shanxi Province continues to decrease， but there are still loopholes in prevention and control measures. It is necessary to strengthen the management and immunization of dogs，health education， and standardized procedures after exposure to maintain the achievements in the prevention and control of rabies.

Objective:To analyze the histopathological characteristics of peri-implant soft tissue in re-constructed jaws and the changes after keratinized mucosa augmentation(KM A)with free gingival graft(FGG).Methods:Twenty patients were enrolled in this study.Five patients of them,who were perio-dontal and systemic healthy and referred for crown lengthening before restoration with healthy keratinized gingiva collected were enrolled as healthy controls.15 patients of them were with fibula or iliac bone flaps jaw reconstruction(10 with fibula flap and 5 with iliac flap),who were referred to FGG and implant exposures before restoration.Soft tissue was collected before FGG in reconstructed jaws,and in 5 patients(3 with fibula flap and 2 with iliac flap)8 weeks after FGG if a second surgery was conducted.Histologi-cal analysis with hematoxylin-eosin stain and immunological analysis to interlukin-1(IL-1),interlukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were performed.Results:Thickness from the bottom of stratum basale to the top of stratum granulosum and thickness of keratinized layer in reconstructed jaws were significantly lower compared with that of natural healthy keratinized gingiva[0.27(0.20,0.30)mmvs.0.36(0.35,0.47)mm,P＜0.05;16.49(14.90,23.37)μm vs.26.37(24.12,31.53)μm,P＜0.05].In the reconstructed area,thickness from the bottom of stratum basale to the top of stra-tum granulosum increased after KMA with FGG[0.19(0.16,0.25)mm vs.0.38(0.25,0.39)mm,P=0.059]and the thickness of keratinized layer significantly increased after KMA with FGG[16.42(14.16,22.35)μm vs.28.57(27.16,29.14)μm,P＜0.05],which was similar to that in the con-trol group.Furthermore,the number of positive cells of IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α significantly increased after KMA[0.67(0.17,8.93)vs.11.00(9.16,18.00);13.00(8.50,14.14)vs.21.89(15.00,28.12);0.22(0.04,0.63)vs.2.83(1.68,5.00),respectively,P＜0.05]as well as the average optical density value[0.15(0.14,0.17)vs.0.18(0.17,0.21);0.28(0.26,0.33)vs.0.36(0.33,0.37);0.23(0.22,0.29)vs.0.30(0.28,0.42),respectively,P＜0.05],which was similar to that in the healthy keratinized gingiva.Conclusion:The lack of rete pegs and inflammato-ry factors were common in soft tissue with jaw reconstruction.FGG can improve the quality of the epithe-lium and may improve the stability of the mucosa around implants.

Objective Based on the bio-psycho-social model of functioning and health of International Classification of Function-ing,Disability and Health(ICF)framework,this paper systematically analyzes rehabilitation-related policy docu-ments of the World Health Organization(WHO)to explore the theoretical and policy principles,service systems,priority development areas,and main policy and technical measures for speech and language rehabilitation for children with hearing impairment. Methods Under literature research and policy analysis methods,this paper systematically reviewed the functioning and health framework of ICF,relevant WHO policy reports and American Speech and Hearing Association technical documents,analyzed the current status and needs of rehabilitation services in China,and proposed a theoretical framework,priority areas,and main policy and technical measures for constructing an ICF-based speech and lan-guage rehabilitation service system for children with hearing impairment. Results There were eight major principles for the development of speech and language rehabilitation for children with hearing impairment:child-centered and respect for individual differences,life-cycle support and promoting con-tinuous development,evidence-based practice,multidisciplinary collaboration,building family participation sup-port networks,promoting integrated education and social participation,focusing on cultural sensitivity,and tech-nology-empowered rehabilitation innovation.Five service systems were elaborated,including comprehensive ear-ly screening,diagnosis,and intervention system;family and social support system;multidisciplinary team servic-es system;comprehensive,multi-level speech and language rehabilitation service system;and digitally empow-ered services to build new rehabilitation service models.The priority development areas,and main policy and technical measures for speech and language rehabilitation for children with hearing impairment were also dis-cussed. Conclusion Based on the bio-psycho-social model of functioning and health of ICF,comprehensive,personalized,con-tinuous,high-quality and universally accessible speech and language rehabilitation services can be developed by implementing measures,such as strengthening policy support,improving service systems,cultivating multidisci-plinary professionals,promoting digital empowerment technologies and enhancing support system,to promote the overall development,social participation and quality of life for children with hearing impairment.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in patients following radical gastrectomy with the aim of guiding clinical decisions.Methods:This was a retrospective observational study of data of patients who had undergone radical gastrectomy between June 2021 and June 2022 at the Department of General Surgery, First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital. Participants were reviewed 9-12 months after surgery. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) radical gastrectomy with a postoperative pathological diagnosis of primary gastric cancer; (2) no invasion of neighboring organs, peritoneal dissemination, or distant metastasis confirmed intra- or postoperatively; (3) availability of complete clinical data, including abdominal enhanced computed tomography and pertinent blood laboratory tests 9-12 after surgery. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) age <18 years; (2) presence of gastric stump cancer or previous gastrectomy; (3) history of or current other primary tumors within the past 5 years; (4) preoperative diagnosis of sarcopenia (skeletal muscle index [SMI) ≤52.4 cm2/m2 for men, SMI ≤38.5 cm2/m2 for women). The primary focus of the study was to investigate development of postoperative sarcopenia in the study cohort. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the factors associated with development of sarcopenia after radical gastrectomy.Results:The study cohort comprised 373 patients of average age of 57.1±12.3 years, comprising 292 (78.3%) men and 81 (21.7%) women. Postoperative sarcopenia was detected in 81 (21.7%) patients in the entire cohort. The SMI for the entire group was (41.79±7.70) cm 2/m 2: (46.40±5.03) cm 2/m 2 for men and (33.52±3.63) cm 2/m 2 for women. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, age ≥60 years (OR=2.170, 95%CI: 1.175-4.007, P=0.013), high literacy (OR=2.512, 95%CI: 1.238-5.093, P=0.011), poor exercise habits (OR=3.263, 95%CI: 1.648-6.458, P=0.001), development of hypoproteinemia (OR=2.312, 95%CI: 1.088–4.913, P=0.029), development of hypertension (OR=2.169, 95%CI: 1.180-3.984, P=0.013), and total gastrectomy (OR=2.444, 95%CI:1.214-4.013, P=0.012) were independent risk factors for postoperative sarcopenia in post-gastrectomy patients who had had gastric cancer ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Development of sarcopenia following radical gastrectomy demands attention. Older age, higher education, poor exercise habits, hypoproteinemia, hypertension, and total gastrectomy are risk factors for its development post-radical gastrectomy.

Objective To construct,implement and evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual simulation technology-based prenatal health education course.Methods The curriculum included 4 parts:"warm delivery room and easy delivery","medicated analgesic delivery","non-medicated analgesic delivery"and"early maternal and infant health care".From May to September 2022,100 primiparas in an obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Zhejiang Province were investigated by convenient sampling method.Random number table method was used to divide the participants into an experimental group and a control group,with 50 participants per group.The control group received conventional health education,while the experimental group received an augmented virtual reality technology-based prenatal health education course during the late stages of pregnancy on this basis.We conducted a post-intervention comparative analysis of antenatal anxiety levels,fear of childbirth,and birth outcomes between the 2 groups.Furthermore,a post-intervention satisfaction survey was administered to the experimental group.Results After intervention,the antenatal anxiety of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(x2=4.943,P=0.026),and the decrease in fear of childbirth scores was higher than that of the control group(t=3.200,P=0.002).The experimental group was highly satisfied with all of the 4 dimensions of the course,and the overall evaluation was(31.8±3.23)points.However,there were no significant differences in vaginal delivery rate,postpartum bleeding volume,postpartum hemorrhage incidence,perineal injury degree and duration of each labor stage between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The virtual reality technology-based prenatal health education course was effective in improving the antenatal anxiety and fear of childbirth of primipara,and the use satisfaction is high.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is the predominant type of oral cancer,while some patients may develop oral multiple primary cancers(MPCs)with unclear etiology.This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and genomic alterations of oral MPCs.Clinicopathological data from patients with oral single primary carcinoma(SPC,n=202)and oral MPCs(n=34)were collected and compared.Copy number alteration(CNA)analysis was conducted to identify chromosomal-instability differences among oral MPCs,recurrent OSCC cases,and OSCC patients with lymph node metastasis.Whole-exome sequencing was employed to identify potential unique gene mutations in oral MPCs patients.Additionally,CNA and phylogenetic tree analyses were used to gain preliminary insights into the molecular characteristics of different primary tumors within individual patients.Our findings revealed that,in contrast to oral SPC,females predominated the oral MPCs(70.59%),while smoking and alcohol use were not frequent in MPCs.Moreover,long-term survival outcomes were poorer in oral MPCs.From a CNA perspective,no significant differences were observed between oral MPCs patients and those with recurrence and lymph node metastasis.In addition to commonly mutated genes such as CASP8,TP53 and MUC16,in oral MPCs we also detected relatively rare mutations,such as HS3ST6 and RFPL4A.Furthermore,this study also demonstrated that most MPCs patients exhibited similarities in certain genomic regions within individuals,and distinct differences of the similarity degree were observed between synchronous and metachronous oral MPCs.
