Objective:
To investigate the awareness, sexual behavior characteristics and infection status of AIDS among male floating population in Anhui Province, so as to provide insights into formulating prevention and control measures for male floating population.
Methods:
Male floating population of three occupations including construction workers, enterprise workers, and business operators in Wuhu, Tongling, Hefei, and Fuyang cities were selected using stratified cluster random method from April to August 2021. Demographic information, knowledge of AIDS and high-risk behaviors were collected through questionnaires surveys. The results of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody testing were collected through laboratory tests. Awareness rate of AIDS knowledge, sexual behavior characteristics, and positive rates of HIV, syphilis, and HCV among male floating population of different occupations were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 1 616 people were enrolled, including 1 016 construction workers (62.87%), 253 enterprise workers (15.66%) and 347 business operators (21.47%), and had a mean age of (40.63±12.32) years. The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among male floating population was 89.54%, the awareness rates of business operators, construction workers, and enterprise workers were 98.33%, 88.29% and 82.61%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportions of consistent condom use during sexual intercourse with a spouse or cohabitant, during commercial sexual encounters, and with casual partners in the past year were 7.15% (91/1 273), 64.00% (16/25) and 50.00% (8/16), respectively. The proportions of construction workers, enterprise workers, and business operators who used condoms every time they had sexual behavior with their spouses/cohabitants in the past year were 4.54%, 11.63%, and 15.60%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). One case of HIV, one case of syphilis, and three cases of HCV antibody were detected.
Conclusion
The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among the male floating population in Anhui Province is relatively high, but unsafe sex behaviors exist, which may lead to the risk of HIV infection.

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis of bacterial liver abscess in patients with or without diabetes mellitus (DM), to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Patients with bacterial liver abscesses hospitalized in Tongren Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2016 to August 2021 were enrolled, and their clinical data were collected. The patients were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic groups for comparison according to whether they had comorbid DM. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 131 patients with bacterial liver abscesses were included, including 47 cases in the diabetic group and 84 cases in the non-diabetic group. The percentages of platelet count <100×10 9/L, C-reactive protein>10 mg/L, and total bilirubin>17.5 μmol/L were lower in the diabetic group than that in the non-diabetic group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=3.90, 6.44 and 5.56, respectively, all P<0.05). The percentage of multiple abscesses in the diabetic group was 10.6%(5/47), which was lower than 29.8%(25/84) in the non-diabetic group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.24, P=0.012). The positive rate of pus culture for Klebsiella pneumoniae was 64.9%(24/37) in the diabetic group, which was higher than 41.5%(27/65) in the non-diabetic group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.13, P=0.023). The incidences of pleural effusion and abscesses at other sites in the diabetic group were 29.8%(14/47) and 10.6%(5/47), respectively, which were both higher than 14.3%(12/84) and 1.2%(1/84) in the non-diabetic group, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.55, Fisher′s exact test, both P<0.05). The proportion of hospital stays>21 d was 34.0%(16/47) in the diabetic group, which was higher than 16.7%(14/84) in the non-diabetic group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.15, P=0.023). DM (odds ratio ( OR)=2.654, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.020 to 6.907, P=0.046) and abscess maximum diameter>10 cm ( OR=11.045, 95% CI 4.493 to 27.154, P<0.001) were significant risk factors for hospital stay>21 d. Conclusions:Bacterial liver abscesses combined with DM are more common with single abscess, a higher rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, and more likely to develop pleural effusions and abscesses at other sites. Liver abscesses>10 cm in maximum diameter and comorbid DM would prolong hospital stay.

Objective:To explore whether or not radioactive wastewater leakage or overflow exists in the nuclear medicine decay pool after the 7·20 extraordinary rainstorm disaster and to analyze its causes, so as to provide scientific basis for the design, construction and maintenance of the nuclear medicine decay pool and the radiation protection management of nuclear medicine in the future.Methods:Three hospitals A, B and C where 131I therapy are being performed were selected in Zhengzhou city, Henan province. Sampling points were set based on the monitoring result of the environmental radiation level around the nuclear medical decay pool in line with the relevent standard method. Soil samples were collected at different depths. The 131I radioactivity level in the soil was measured using HPGe gamma spectrometer, with the measured result being processed and analyzed. Results:Except for Hospital B where no 131I was detected, different 131I activity concentrations were detected in the soil samples collected around the nuclear medicine decay pool at Hospitals A and C. The 131I activity concentrations ranged from 16.4 to 98 111.8 Bq/kg at Hospital A and from 10.6 to 7 176.6 Bq/kg at Hospital C. After a time period of decay, the repeated detection has shown that the 131I activity concentrations ranged from 1.3 to 17.0 Bq/kg at Hospital A and from 3.9 to 7.1 Bq/kg at Hospital C. The 131I activity concentration in the soil at the depth of 0-5 cm was higher than that at the depth of 5-10 cm soil at the same sampling point. The ratios of activity concentration of 131I between different depths ranged from 1.3 to 13.1, with the median value of 5.9. Conclusions:After the 7·20 extraordinary rainstorm disaster, the surrounding environment of nuclear medicine decay pools at a few hospitals was contamminated by 131I to some extent. To prevent the risk of leakage of radioactive wastewater, the safety evaluation and management of radiation protection should be made better with increased awareness during the design, evaluation, construction and use of nuclear medicine decay pools.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic characteristics of population with gout achieving treat-to-target (T2T) indicators through real-world research and evaluate their safety.Methods:A total of 3 287 patients diagnosed with gout by rheumatologists in 21 first-class tertiary hospitals in 10 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China from January 2015 to December 2021 were included in this polycentric cross-sectional study. The database included patients′ general information, disease characteristics, and clinical application of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment measures. SPSS and Excel software were used for data analysis. Frequency analysis, cluster analysis, and factor analysis were used to summarize the characteristics and rules of treatment measures for patients with gout who achieved the target after treatment. The occurrence of adverse events (AE) was recorded during treatment.Results:After treatment, 691 visits (7%) achieved the serum urate (SUA) target, and the most frequent use of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) was febuxostat, followed by benzbromarone. The most common treatment options were following: GroupⅠ: traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction-TCM external treatment-physical exercise-proprietary Chinese medicine; GroupⅡ: ferulic acid-nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); Group Ⅲ: allopurinol-sodium bicarbonate-benzbromarone; Group Ⅳ: glucocorticoid-colchicine; Group Ⅴ: febuxostat. A total of 5 898 visits (60%) chieved manifestations of joint pain VAS scores target, and the most frequently used drug to control joint symptoms was NSAIDs. The frequency of use of drugs to control joint symptoms were 2 118 times (usage rate reached 35.9%), while the frequency of ULT were 2 504 times (usage rate reached 42.5%), which was higher than the joint symptom control drug. The most common treatment options were following: Group Ⅰ: proprietary Chinese medicine-TCM decoction-TCM external treatment-physical exercise; Group Ⅱ: NSAIDs-colchicine hormones; Group Ⅲ: allopurinol, Group Ⅳ: benzbromarone; Group Ⅴ: febuxostat. A total of 59 adverse events occurred during treatment.Conclusion:The proportions of gout patients who reach target serum urate level & good control of joint symptoms are both very low, and ULT and anti-inflammatory prescription patterns are very different from international guidelines, so it is necessary to strengthen the standardized management of gout patients. At the same time, life intervention measures account for a certain proportion of the treatment plans for the T2T population, and further exploration is needed.

Objective:To establish an evaluation index system of home care quality for caregivers of children aged ≤3 years with burns.Methods:The combined approach of qualitative and quantitative research was used, and the fundamental principles of constructing an index system was followed. From January to February 2022, through literature analysis, conducting a semi-structured interview on 6 female nurses aged 31 to 51 years who worked for more than 10 years in the Department of Burns, Plastic Surgery, and Aesthetic Medicine of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, as well as 15 caregivers (11 females and 4 males) of hospitalized children with burns aged 28 to 54 years who received professional training from nursing staff, a preliminary evaluation index system of home care quality for caregivers of children ≤3 years old with burns was established using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as theoretical guidance. From March to June 2022, the Delphi method was applied to conduct inquiry by correspondence with 15 experts in relevant fields who met the inclusion criteria and were employed in general hospitals, specialized hospitals, and universities in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (with their general information being recorded), and the evaluation index system was established and the weights of indicators at all levels were determined by the analytic hierarchy process. The effective recovery ratio of the inquiry form was calculated to determine the level of enthusiasm of experts, the average authority coefficient of all indicators was calculated to determine the level of expert authority, the average importance assignment and full score ratio of all indicators were calculated to determine the concentration of expert opinions, and the average Kendall's harmony coefficients and mean coefficient of variation for all indicators were calculated to determine the degree of coordination of expert opinions. The Kendall's harmony coefficients for the first level indicators, the total second level indicators, and the total third level indicators in each round of correspondence inquiry were statistically analyzed with chi-square test.Results:The preliminary evaluation index system of home care quality for caregivers of children ≤3 years old with burns included 5 first level indicators, 13 second level indicators, and 55 third level indicators. The majority of the 15 experts were women, aged 32-56 years, all with a bachelor's degree or above education background, intermediate or above professional titles, and worked for 14-31 years. The effective recovery ratios of the first and second rounds of inquiry forms were 1 (15/15) and 0.93 (14/15), respectively. The average authority coefficients of all indicators in the first and second rounds of correspondence inquiries were 0.87 and 0.90, respectively. The average importance assignment and average full score ratio of all indicators were 4.25 and 0.68 respectively in the first round of inquiry, and 4.39 and 0.70 respectively in the second round of inquiry. In the first and second rounds of inquiries, the average Kendall's harmony coefficients for all indicators were 0.50 and 0.62, respectively, and the average coefficients of variation for all indicators were 0.15 and 0.14, respectively. The Kendall's harmony coefficients of the five first level indicators (physiological needs, safety needs, needs for love and belonging, needs for respect, and needs for self-realization), the total second level indicators, and the total third level indicators in the first and second rounds of correspondence inquiries were statistically significant (with χ2 values of 22.18, 20.36, 23.42, 25.81, 21.44, 124.73, 524.05 and 24.27, 19.85, 22.39, 27.52, 20.83, 102.38, 503.27, respectively, P<0.05). The final evaluation index system of home care quality for caregivers of children ≤3 years old with burns included 5 first level indicators, 13 second level indicators, and 56 third level indicators. The weights of the first level indicators for physiological needs, safety needs, needs for love and belonging, needs for respect, and needs for self-realization were 0.343, 0.371, 0.091, 0.076, and 0.127, respectively. The weights of the second level indicators were 0.024 to 0.192, and the weights of the third level indicators were 0.001 to 0.089. Conclusions:The evaluation index system of home care quality for caregivers of children ≤3 years old with burns established on the basis of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is scientific and reliable, and can serve as a reference for home care of children with burns in this age group.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture plus Dang Gui Bu Xue Qu Feng Tang for benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed. A total of 105 participants were randomized 1:1:1 into an acupuncture group, a herbal medicine group and an acupuncture plus herbal medicine group. Participants in the acupuncture group received manual acupuncture treatment, twice a week. Participants in the herbal medicine group received Dang Gui Bu Xue Qu Feng Tang, oral administration, once a day. Participants in the acupuncture plus herbal medicine group received both treatments. The therapeutic effects of the three groups were evaluated after four weeks of treatment. The primary outcome was the Jankovic rating scale (JRS) score, and the secondary outcome was the blepharospasm disability index (BSDI) score. Results: After four weeks of treatment, the JRS total scores significantly decreased in all three groups versus baseline (P<0.05). A greater reduction in the JRS total score was reported in participants in the acupuncture plus herbal medicine group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the acupuncture group and the herbal medicine group (P>0.05). The acupuncture plus herbal medicine group had a greater decrease in the JRS severity score than the herbal medicine group (P<0.05). The reduction in the JRS frequency score was not significantly different among the three groups (P>0.05). The BSDI scores significantly decreased in all three groups versus baseline (P<0.05), but the reduction in the BSDI score was insignificantly different among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: It is effective in the treatment of BEB either to use acupuncture and Dang Gui Bu Xue Qu Feng Tang alone or in combination. The combination therapy shows a more significant effect than either of the treatment alone.

Objective:To explore the status quo of elder abuse tendencies among nursing staff in nursing homes and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to select 342 nursing staff from 26 nursing institutions in Zhengzhou from April to October 2020 as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, the Caregiver Abuse Screen (CASE) , Workplace Social Capital (WSC) and Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) were used to investigate the caregivers. Univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of elder abuse tendency by nursing staff. A total of 342 questionnaires were distributed and 325 valid questionnaires were recovered, with the effective recovery rate of 95.0%.Results:A total of 65.5% (213/325) of the nursing staff had the tendency of elder abuse. Logistic regression analysis showed that the self-care ability type of elders in charge and emotional exhaustion of nursing staff were risk factors for elder abuse tendency of nursing staff ( P<0.05) , and workplace social capital was protective factor for elder abuse tendency of nursing staff ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:Elderly caregivers have a high tendency to abuse the elderly. The tendency of caregivers to abuse the elderly should be dynamically assessed. Institutional managers should strengthen their support to the caregivers, reduce the number of disabled elderly people who are taken care of by caregivers, provide team support and psychological counseling and reduce the risk of abuse of the elderly.
