Objective:
To investigate the indoor fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) pollution and its influencing factors in children s bedrooms using solid fuel, so as to provide evidence for effective strategy to reduce PM 2.5 pollution.
Methods:
From December 2019 to November 2020, 198 households (108 in the north, 90 in the south) from two pilots in the north(Jiamusi in Heilongjiang Province) and south of China (Mianyang in Sichuan Province) were selected, and status of solid fuels using were obtained through home visits, dynamic changes in PM 2.5 concentrations in children s bedrooms were monitored by using real time online instruments, and the influencing factors of PM 2.5 pollution were analyzed by using a mixed effects model.
Results:
During the monitoring period, the daily PM 2.5 concentrations in the northern and southern pilot were 78.33 (40.50, 154.80) and 38.54(26.20, 58.46) μg/m 3, respectively, exceeding standard rates of 44.57% and 33.22%. During the heating period, the daily PM 2.5 concentrations in the northern and southern pilot were 212.50(133.60,244.10) and 104.42(73.97, 134.90) μg/m 3, respectively, with over standard rates of 96.75% and 86.96%. The mixed effects model analysis results showed that children s bedroom PM 2.5 concentrations were associated with solid fuel usage duration, window opening time, room layout (shared entrance door between kitchen and bedroom), indoor smoking, indoor humidity, and solid fuel use in the bedroom ( β =0.19, -0.05, 1.20, 0.43, 0.02, 0.35, all P <0.05).
Conclusion
Solid fuel combustion significantly comtributes to PM 2.5 pollution in children s bedrooms, with more pronounced impacts observed in northern China compared to southern regions.

Objective To analyse the prognosis and risk factors of lung cancer with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in Tongchuan City, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the prognosis of patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD. Methods A total of 280 patients with lung cancer combined with AECOPD admitted to Tongchuan People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2022 were selected and divided into survival group and death group according to whether the patients survived during hospitalization. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and other tumor markers were compared between the two groups. Lung function was measured by lung function instruments, and the levels of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC and other lung function indicators were compared between the two groups. The patients' clinical data were collected from the medical record system, and univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOP. Results The values of FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC in the death group were significantly lower than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Serum CEA and CYFRA 21-1 levels in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that albumin level <35 g/L (OR=2.728), TNM stage III to IV (OR=2.416), multidrug-resistant bacterial infection (OR=2.982), and GOLD grade III to IV (OR=3.417) were independent risk factors for death in patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD in Tongchuan City (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with lung cancer complicated with AECOPD in Tongchuan City have a high risk of death during hospitalization, especially patients with TNM stage III to IV and GOLD grade III to IV. Multi-drug resistant bacteria infection should be actively controlled to improve the albumin level of patients, which is conducive to the prognosis of patients.

ObjectiveWe conducted a drug resistance and homology analysis of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in Fengxian District of Shanghai in order to provide a basis for clinical rational drug use, risk monitoring and early warning. MethodsDEC were isolated from diarrheal patients in Fengxian District, Shanghai from 2019 to 2022. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 21 drugs to the DEC were determined. Genotyping and homology analysis were conducted with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). ResultsThe DEC detection rate of diarrhea cases was 18.99% (131/690), including enteroaggregative E.coli (EAEC) 64.89% (85/131), enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC) 22.14% (29/131), enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC) 12.21% (16/131), and enterohemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC) 0.76%(1/131). The DEC detection showed obvious seasonal characteristics with a high incidence in summer. The DEC multidrug resistance rate was 66.41% with a total of 65 drug resistance profiles. The five antimicrobial drugs with the highest resistance rate were ampicillin (60.31%), nalidixic acid (51.91%), cefazolin (50.38%), tetracycline (44.27%), and cotrimoxazole (35.11%). The rate of DEC resistance to levofloxacin was significantly increased from 2019 to 2022. Cluster analysis showed that the similarity of 85 EAEC cluster was 58.4%‒100.0%, and 69 band patterns were obtained. The similarity of 29 ETEC cluster was 58.5%‒100.0%, and 13 band patterns were obtained, including 2 dominant band types. The similarity of 16 EAEC clusters was 53.9%‒100.0%, and 15 band patterns were obtained. Five groups of homologous strains were found, consistent with the resistance phenotypes. ConclusionAmong the diarrhea cases, the DEC epidemic intensity is high, the drug resistance situation is severe, and the risk of outbreak infection is high in Fengxian District, Shanghai. Therefore, health monitoring and prevention need to be strengthened.

Objective To evaluate the molluscicidal effect of spraying 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules with drones against of Oncomelania hupensis snails in snail habitats in marshland areas. Methods From September to October, 2022, marshlands were sampled from Dantu District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province as study areas, and assigned into four groups, of approximately 3 000 m2 per group. In Group A, environmental cleaning was performed, followed by spraying 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules with knapsack sprayers at a dose of 40 g/m2, and in Group B, 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules were sprayed with knapsack sprayers at a dose of 40 g/m2 without environmental cleaning, while in Group C, environmental cleaning was conducted, followed by spraying 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules with drones at a dose of 40 g/m2, and in Group D, 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules were sprayed with drones at a dose of 40 g/m2 without environmental cleaning. Then, the study areas in each group were equally divided into six blocks, with Block 1 for baseline surveys and blocks 2 to 6 for snail surveys 1, 3, 5, 7, 14 days following chemical treatment. The mortality of snails and the reduction of the density of living snails were calculated. Results A total of 132 frames were surveyed during the period from September to October 2022, and the occurrence of frames with living snails and means density of living snails were 61.36% (81/132) and 1.58 snails/0.1 m2, respectively. The overall mortality rates of snails were 43.02% (77/179), 38.69% (77/199), 47.78% (86/180) and 31.02% (58/187) 14 days following chemical treatment in groups A, B, C and D, respectively (χ2 = 11.646, P < 0.05), and there were differences detected in the snail mortality between group A and D, and between groups C and D (both Padjusted values < 0.05). The adjusted mortality rates of snails were 37.42%, 36.07%, 38.85% and 40.40% in groups A, B, C and D 14 days post-treatment, and the density of living snails decreased by 48.10%, 63.29%, 67.09% and 69.62% 14 days post-treatment relative to pre-treatment, respectively. Conclusions Chemical treatment with drones is feasible for O. hupensis snail control in marshland areas; however, the molluscicidal effect of spraying 5% niclosamide ethanolamine salt granules with drones is comparable to spraying chemicals manually in marshland areas regardless of environmental cleaning.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.

This article reported a male neonate with lethal mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency (MTPD) caused by compound heterozygous variations in the HADHB gene. The patient presented with poor milk intake complicated by abnormal myocardial enzymes within 24 h after birth and was transferred to the Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University on day 4. Physical examination revealed no obvious abnormalities on admission. Laboratory examination showed increased creatine kinase isoenzyme and cardiac troponin levels, and electrocardiogram suggested sinus tachycardia and low QRS voltage in limb leads. Blood screening for metabolic abnormalities showed high levels of tetradecenyl carnitine and various 3-hydroxycarnitines. Heterozygous mutations of c.739C>T(p.Arg247Cys) and c.607C>T(p.Arg203Ter,272) were detected in the HADHB gene in the boy, which were pathogenic variants included in the Human Gene Mutation Database. Followed up to three months of age, the boy was readmitted to hospital due to poor milk intake for one week and poor response for 2 d after catching a cold. After admission, he quickly developed multiple organs dysfunction such as heart failure and respiratory failure, and then died. Lethal MTPD is rare with no effective treatment and poor prognosis. Lethal MTPD should be highly suspected when unexplained cardiomyopathy, hypoglycemia, acidosis and other metabolic abnormalities appear in the neonatal period, and an early diagnosis could be confirmed with genetic testing in the neonatal period.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):266-268
Objective:
To describe the clinical features, causal agent and transmission mode of a fever outbreak in a school in Shanghai.
Methods:
Field epidemiological approaches including case definition development, searching for contacts, distribution of diseases description, environmental sampling and laboratory testing.
Results:
A total of 16 influenza like cases were included, all concentrated in the one class of grade two, including 15 students and 1 teacher. Among student cases, the incidence rate was 36.59% (15/41), the average age was 7.4 years, the incidence rate was 36.84%(7/19) for boys, 36.36%(8/22) for girls. The clinical course was 5-15 days, with the median of 9 days, and 18.75%(3/16) of the cases stayed studying while sick. The nasopharyngeal swab specimens in 16 cases all tested positive for influenza B, of which 11 tested positive for mycoplasma pneumoniae and 1 case also tested positive for coronavirus OC43. Body temperature, number of mononuclear cells, and treatment time of patients infected with Influenza B and mycoplasma pneumoniae were higher than those of patients infected with influenza B alone( P <0.05). The outbreak lasted for 12 days, all sick students were treated and discharged from hospital, with no severe cases or death, and the outbreak was effectively controlled.
Conclusion
This campus cluster outbreak caused by influenza B and mycoplasma pneumoniae. Patients with influenza B with mycoplasma pneumoniae have severe symptoms and a long course of illness, suggesting the importance of early management of the epidemic.

ObjectiveTo determine the drug resistance, main virulence genes and molecular typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from multiple sources in Fengxian District, Shanghai. MethodsA total of 210 strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated in Fengxian District, Shanghai, from 2018 to 2020. Then drug susceptibility tests of 17 antibiotics, virulence gene detection of thermolabilehemolysin (tlh), thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh) and thermostable direct hemolysin-relatedhemolysin (trh), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were conducted. ResultsA total of 147 drug-resistant strains were detected, with the drug resistance of 70.00%. Among them, 126 strains were resistant to single antibiotic, mainly resistant to CFZ; 15 strains were resistant to two antibiotics, mainly resistant to CFZ and AMP; and 6 strains of MDR, mainly resistant to AMP, SXT, CFZ, CTX, CAZ and FEP. The AMP resistance of food-borne strains was higher than that of human-derived strains (P<0.05). All 210 strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus carried the virulence gene tlh. Furthermore, 84 human-derived strains carried tdh (89.29%) and trh (7.14%). In contrast, 126 food-borne strains carried trh (1.59%), while did not carry tdh. In additionally, 173 band patterns were determined by PFGE, sharing the similarity of 48.80%‒100.00%, among which major clones were prevalent. ConclusionVibrio parahaemolyticus in Fengxian District has multi-drug resistance, especially the resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. The prevalence of virulence gene remains high in human-derived strains. Furthermore, major clones are prevalent in human-derived strains, though the PFGE banding patterns are generally diverse. Due to high risk of food-borne diseases, this study warrants strengthening the prevention and control against Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Objective:
To investigate the coverage of rotavirus vaccination among children under five years in Xiuzhou District of Jiaxing City, so as to provide insights into rotaviral diarrhea control.
Methods:
The rotavirus vaccination data of children aged two months to five years were extracted from the vaccination clinics of eight township hospitals and community health service centers through the Zhejiang vaccination information system. The coverage of rotavirus vaccination was analyzed among children with different genders, ages, types of vaccines and doses of vaccination.
Results:
Totally 32 752 children were included, and the coverage of rotavirus vaccination was 47.09%. The coverage of rotavirus vaccination was significantly higher in boys than in girls ( 47.65% vs. 46.46%, P<0.05 ), and a higher vaccination rate was seen in children with local household registration than in those without ( 56.76% vs. 38.75%, P<0.05 ). The vaccination rates of monovalent and pentavalent rotavirus vaccines were 36.90% and 10.18%, respectively. Totally 26 982 doses of rotavirus vaccines were vaccinated, with a mean dose of ( 0.84±1.02 ) per capita, and the vaccination rates of one, two and three doses were 20.75%, 17.37% and 8.96%, respectively. The median age was 6.00 months ( interquartile range, 3.00 months ) among children vaccinated with the first dose.
Conclusions
The coverage of rotavirus vaccination and full-dose vaccination are low among children under five in Xiuzhou District, with monovalent rotavirus vaccines predominant. Intensified rotavirus vaccination is therefore recommended.
