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.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Gancao Fuzitang （GCFZ）in inhibiting the bone destruction of collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） model in mice. MethodThirty male DBa/1J mice were randomly divided into normal group， CIA group， low-dose GCFZ group （GCFZ-L， 2.4 g·kg^-1）， high-dose GCFZ group （GCFZ-H， 4.8 g·kg^-1）， and methotrexate group （MTX， 1 mg·kg^-1）， with six mice in each group. The CIA model was induced by secondary immunization method. The arthritis index of mice in each group was observed and recorded， and the histopathological changes in ankle joint were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The damage to ankle cartilage was detected by safranin O-fast green staining. Micro-CT scanning was used to detect the bone destruction of ankle joint， and the expression of nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）， p-NF-κB p65， inhibitory-κB kinase α/β （IKKα/β）， and p-IKKα/β was observed by immunohistochemical staining. ResultCompared with the normal group， the CIA group showed manifest joint swelling and increased arthritis index score （P<0.01）. Compared with the CIA group， the groups with drug intervention could inhibit joint swelling and reduce arthritis index score （P<0.05， P<0.01）. As revealed by HE staining and safranine O-green staining， compared with the CIA group， the groups with drug intervention could inhibit synovial invasion and reduce the destruction of articular cartilage. Micro-CT scanning analysis showed that compared with the CIA group， the GCFZ-H group and the MTX group showed reduced bone destruction scores （P<0.01）. The immunohistochemical results showed that compared with the normal group， the CIA group showed increased optical density values of NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， IKKα/β， and p-IKKα/β（P<0.01）. Compared with the CIA group， the GCFZ-H group and the MTX group showed reduced optical density values of NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， IKKα/β， and p-IKKα/β（P<0.05，P<0.01）. In the GCFZ-L group， only the NF-κB p65 optical density value decreased（P<0.01）. ConclusionGCFZ may inhibit bone destruction in CIA mice by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and etiology of 176 children with liver dysfunction, and to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of children with liver dysfunction.Methods:From April 2017 to February 2019, 176 children with liver function abnormalities from 2 months to 13 years old who were admitted to Hangzhou Children's Hospital were selected inthe study.The pathogens of the children's secretions were detected by fluorescence quantitative method.The blood was tested for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C antibody and hepatitis A antibody, and blood culture method was used to detect and identify bacteria, and blood genetic metabolism and coagulation function were also screened.According to the age of the children, they were divided into infant group, toddlergroup, preschool group and school age group.Results:Among the 176 children, the infants had the most abnormal liver function, 93 cases(52.84%), followed by 43 children (24.43%) in the toddler group.Causes of the disease: 138 cases (78.41%) of the original diseases, 8 cases (4.55%) of non-infectious diseases, 30 cases (17.04%) of the undetected pathogens.Among the 138 cases with liver function abnormality due to infectious diseases, 123 cases (89.13%) were infected with virus, 8 cases (5.80%) were infected with bacteria, 6 cases (4.35%) were infected with mycoplasma, and 1 case (0.72%) was infected with Toxoplasma gondii.Among the 123 cases of liver dysfunction caused by viral infection, cytomegalovirus was detected in 62 cases (50.41%), followed by EB virus in 38 cases (30.89%), rotavirus in 10 cases (8.13%), and EV71 virus in 5 cases (4.07%), 4 cases of common enterovirus (3.25%), 2 cases of respiratory syncytial virus (1.63%), 1 case of herpes simplex virus and Coxsackie A16 virus (0.81%). Pre-school and above were mainly infected with EB virus; the age>1 year-old liver function abnormality was 37.10% (23/62) due to cytomegalovirus, and the proportion of EB virus infection was 92.11% (35/38). Compared with 62.90% and 7.89% of age 2 months to 1 year, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=29.27, P=0.00). Eightcases of liver infection caused by bacterial infection: 3 cases of Staphylococcus aureus, 2 cases of Streptococcus pneumoniae, 2 cases of Escherichia coli, and 1 case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.There were 3 cases of genetic metabolic diseases, including 2 cases of hepatolenticular degeneration and 1 case of glycogen accumulation.Characteristics of liver function abnormalities in children: the main clinical manifestations of children were jaundice, splenomegaly and hepatomegaly, cough, diarrhea, etc.Outcome: 98 cases (55.68%) were healed, 60 cases (34.09%) were improved, and 17 cases (9.66%) were aggravated, 1 case of death (0.57%). Conclusion:The abnormal liver function of infants was mainly caused by virus infection, especially cytomegalovirus.Infants and young children have no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease, severe cases can be manifested as jaundice and hepatosplenomegaly, mainly mild, with a good prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the utility of CT perfusion (CTP) for assessment of effect of encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) on moyamoya disease (MMD).Methods:Thirty-eight adult MMD patients, who underwent EDAS in our hospital from March 2014 to October 2019, were chosen in our study. All patients received CTP and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before and after surgery; cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT) and time to peak (TTP) in the operative cerebral cortices and their contralateral mirror areas, as well as brainstems were measured respectively; their relative parameter values (rCBF, rCBV, rMTT and rTTP) were calculated with the brainstem as the reference; perfusion changes of cerebral tissues were observed before and after surgery, and efficacies of these parameters in evaluating the surgical treatment effect were compared. According to the degrees of collateral formation detected by postoperative DSA, the 42 hemispheres of these patients were divided into group of good collateral formation and group of poor collateral formation, and the differences of perfusion changes in the two groups were further discussed.Results:CTP revealed that cerebral perfusion at surgical side after EDAS was significantly improved in all the 42 hemispheres; significantly increased rCBF, and significantly decreased rMTT and rTTP were noted as compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the curve of rTTP (0.897) was the largest among all parameters, with diagnostic sensitivity of 87.5% and specificity of 80.8%. Twenty-six patients (61.9%) were into the group of good collateral formation and 16 (38.1%) were into the group of poor collateral formation; changed values of rCBF and rMTT in the group of good collateral formation were significantly better than those in the group of poor collateral formation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CTP can quantitatively evaluate cerebral hemodynamic changes after EDAS in moyamoya disease patients, and postoperative rTTP changes can reflect the degrees of collateral vessel formation.

Objective: To study the correlation of lifestyle characteristics with thyroid nodules in a population-based sample of centenarians in Hainan. Methods: The study was based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) conducted in 18 cities and counties in Hainan province from 2014 to 2016. A group of multidisciplinary team interviewed and examined local centenarians with structured questionnaires and ultrasonography procedures. A total of 918 centenarians were analyzed after excluding those who refused ultrasonographic examinations or had relevant missing data. Thyroids of centenarians were examined by 3-year experienced sonographer, details on lifestyle characteristics and dietary habits were collected by standard procedure. Results: Of the 918 centenarians, 683 (74.4%) had thyroid nodules under the ultrasonography procedures. The prevalence of thyroid nodules in different group of areca nut consumption varied significantly (P<0.05). In multivariate logistic regression model, the results showed female and areca nut intake were independently associated with thyroid nodules in centenarians (P<0.05). Conclusions The modifiable variables including areca nut intake as well as non-modifiable such as gender are independent determinants of thyroid nodules in centenarians. Further studies are warranted to explore and verify these associations in populations with different ranges of age.

Objective: To explore the clinical features, the serotype distribution and drug resistance of the isolates in patient with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Methods: By retrieving the laboratory information system in 18 children′s hospitals from 2012 to 2017, the children with IPD were enrolled. Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) must be isolated from the sterile sites (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, hydrothorax and joint effusion etc.). The clinical characteristics, serotype, drug resistance, treatment and prognosis were reviewed and analyzed. According to the telephone follow up results, the patients were divided into death group and recovered group. The index as an independent risk factor of mortality was demonstrated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: There were 1 138 children with IPD, including 684 male and 454 female. The proportion of male to female was 1.5∶1. The age ranged from one day to 16 years. The median age was 1 year 3 month. The majority was under 5 years of age (89.3%, n= 1 016), especially under 2 years of age (61.9%, n=704). In all cases, 88.2% (n=1 004) were community acquired infection. The infections included meningitis (n=446, 39.2%), pneumonia with bacteremia (n=339, 29.8%), and bacteremia without focus (n=232, 20.4%). Underlying diseases were found in 242 cases (21.3%). Co-infections were determined in 62 cases (5.4%) with mycoplasma, 27 cases (2.4%) with adenovirus and 34 cases with influenza virus (3.0%). The penicillin insensitivity (PNSP) rates in meningitis and non-meningitis isolates were 69.5% (276/397) and 35.9% (221/615), respectively. There were 81 strains serotyped, in which 93.8% (76/81) were covered by 13-valent protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13). In the 965 patients who were followed up by phone call, 156 cases (16.2%) were confirmed dead. The independent risk factors for the death were under 2 years of age (OR=2.143, 95%CI 1.284-3.577, P=0.004), meningitis (OR=3.066, 95%CI 1.852-5.074, P<0.01), underlying disease (OR=4.801, 95%CI 2.953-7.804, P<0.01), septic shock(OR=3.542, 95%CI 1.829-6.859, P<0.01), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (OR=4.150, 95%CI 1.468-11.733, P=0.007), multiple organ failure (OR=12.693, 95%CI 6.623-24.325, P<0.01) and complications of central nervous system (OR=1.975, 95%CI 1.144-3.410, P=0.015). Conclusions Most children with IPD were under 5 years of age, having underlying diseases and acquired the infection in community. The independent risk factors for death were under two years old, meningitis, underlying diseases and multiple organ failure. The problem of drug resistance was severe. The universal immunization of PCV13 would be effective to prevent IPD in Chinese children.

Objective To investigate the effects of thyroid hormone on extremely severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the treatment of 105 patients with extremely severe TBI admitted from July 2010 to April 2014.There were 79 males and 26 females,with an average age of 32.9 years.The patients were divided into conventional treatment group (Group A,35 cases),conventional treatment ± thyroxine treatment group (Group B,35 cases) and thyroxine treatment group after the condition that thyroxine level was low (Group C,35 cases) according to the random number table method.The incidence of low T3 and T4,incidence of hypotension,the dosage of vasoactive drugs,function evaluation of liver and kidney damage,Glasgow outcome scale (GOS),and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) within 20 days after admission,and mortality rate within 30 days after admission were compared and analyzed.Results Within 20 days after admission,the rates of low thyroxine levels and hypotension of the Group B (22.9％,77.1％) were significantly lower than those in the other two groups (Group A:40％,100％;Group C:37％,100％) (all P ＜ 0.05).The doses of dopamine and norepinephrine in Group B was significantly lower than the other two groups and the combination rate of vasopressors in Group B was significantly lower than the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference between Group A and Group C (P ＞ 0.05).The corresponding data in Group A and Group C had no statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The liver and renal dysfunction rates of Group B (29％,31％) were significantly lower than those of the other two groups (Group A:49％,51％;Group C:43％,51％) (all P ＜ 0.05).The corresponding data in Group A and Group C had no statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).GOS in Group B [(4.8 ± 1.9) points] was significantly higher than that in Group A [(3.3 ± 0.2) points] (all P ＜ 0.05) within 30 days after admission and significantly higher than that of itself at the beginning [(3.6 ± 1.1) points] (P ＜ 0.05).The APACHE Ⅱ in Group A was significantly higher than those in other two groups as well as that in Group A at admission (P ＜ 0.05).Mortality rates in Group B (31％) and Group C (29％) were significantly lower than that in Group A (69％) within 30 days after admission (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Thyroxine can reduce the incidence of hypotension,liver and kidney injury rate in extremely severe TBI.Prevention is better than the supplementary treatment after severe TBI.Thyroxine can also reduce the mortality of extremely severe TBI within 30 days after admission.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules(TN)among centenarians in Hainan province and explore the association between thyroid nodules and major chronic diseases.Methods A mixed cross-sectional study of questionnaire survey,medical examination including ultrasonography and laboratory examination were conducted in elderly who resided in Hainan province and aged 100 and over,the subjects who have signed consent and complete data in both basic information and medical examination were included in this study.Eight hundred and four centenarians were finally enrolled and data of them was analyzed to investigate the prevalence of thyroid nodules and to explore its association with common chronic diseases by comparing the prevalence of chronic conditions between groups with and without thyroid nodules.Results The overall prevalence of TN was 73.5%(591、804)and the prevalence of TN was significantly higher in female when comparing with male[75.1%(505、672)vs 65.2%(86、132)](P <0.001).No significant correlation was found between the prevalence of TN and major chronic diseases (P>0.05),however,the factors associated with dyslipidemia and anemia such as TC[(4.6±1.2)mmol、L vs(4.3±1.5)mmol、L],LDL-C[(2.8±0.8)mmol、L vs(2.7±0.8)mmol、L],and Hb[(110.6±22.5)g、L vs(105.5±31.7)g、L]were significant higher in TN group than those in Non-TN group(P <0.05). Conclusions The thyroid nodule is common in centenarian population and its prevalence was higher in female than male.The associations between TN and biomarkers of dyslipidemia and anemia are found in the present study.
