ObjectiveTo investigate the difference in the risk of cardiovascular diseases between patients with different subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） from the perspective of metabolism， since cardiovascular events induced by metabolic disorders are the leading cause of death in NAFLD. MethodsThe cluster sampling method was used to conduct a multicenter cross-sectional study among three representative hospitals in Pudong New Area of Shanghai， China. A total of 37 122 sets of physical examination data from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected and stratified according to body mass index （BMI）. The chi-square test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and a multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between NAFLD subtypes and cardiometabolic risk factors. ResultsA total of 9 372 cases of NAFLD were detected， with a detection rate of 25.25%， and more than 97% of these patients were diagnosed with metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD）. The subgroup analysis showed that the detection rates of lean， overweight， and obese NAFLD were 7.72%， 33.99%， and 63.56%， respectively. Compared with the patients with lean or overweight NAFLD， the patients with obese NAFLD showed a significantly higher proportion of patients with abnormalities in blood pressure， blood glucose， triglyceride （TG）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL） or uric acid （all P<0.001）. Among related risk factors， lean NAFLD was associated with the increase in total cholesterol （TC）（P<0.05）， while overweight NAFLD and obese NAFLD were not associated with TC abnormalities （P>0.05）； obese NAFLD was not associated with TG abnormalities， while lean NAFLD and overweight NAFLD were associated with TG abnormalities （both P<0.05）； all types of NAFLD were associated with the abnormalities of waist-hip ratio， blood pressure， blood glucose， low-density lipoprotein， HDL， and uric acid （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThe detection rates of different subtypes of NAFLD in Shanghai Pudong are close to those reported in China and globally， and the epidemiologic data of NAFLD can be used analogously for MAFLD. There are certain differences in the distribution and association of cardiometabolic risk factors between different subtypes of NAFLD， and targeted interventions should be formulated based on the metabolic characteristics of each type of NAFLD.

Objective: To analyze the change trends in the body shape indicators and proportions of students in Harbin from 2010 to 2024, and to investigate ergonomic compatibility of functional dimensions of school desks and chairs with current student shape indicators, so as to provide a reference for revising furniture standards of desks and chairs. Methods: Between September and November of both 2010 and 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was conducted across three districts in Harbin, yielding samples of 6 590 and 6 252 students, respectively. Anthropometric shape indicators cluding height, sitting height, crus length, and thigh length-and their proportional changes were compared over the 15-year period. The 2024 data were compared with current standard functional dimensions of school furniture. The statistical analysis incorporated t-test and Mann-Whitney U- test. Results: From 2010 to 2024, average height increased by 1.8 cm for boys and 1.5 cm for girls; sitting height increased by 1.5 cm for both genders; crus length increased by 0.3 cm for boys and 0.4 cm for girls; and thigh length increased by 0.5 cm for both genders. The ratios of sitting height to height, and sitting height to leg length increased by less than 0.1 . The difference between desk chair height and 1/3 sitting height ranged from 0.4-0.8 cm. Among students matched with size 0 desks and chairs, 22.0% had a desk to chair height difference less than 0, indicating that the desk to chair height difference might be insufficient for taller students. The differences between seat height and fibular height ranged from -1.4 to 1.1 cm; and the differences between seat depth and buttock popliteal length ranged from -9.8 to 3.4 cm. Among obese students, the differences between seat width and 1/2 hip circumference ranged from -20.5 to -8.7 cm, while it ranged from -12.2 to -3.8 cm among non obese students. Conclusion Current furniture standards basically satisfy hygienic requirements; however, in the case of exceptionally tall and obese students, ergonomic accommodations such as adaptive seating allocation or personalized adjustments are recommended to meet hygienic requirements.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the pharmaceutical care of a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy （LGMD） who developed euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis （euDKA） after taking empagliflozin. METHODS Clinical pharmacists provided pharmaceutical care for a patient with T2DM and LGMD who developed euDKA after taking empagliflozin. According to the patient’s recent use of medications and his conditions， clinical pharmacists assessed the correlation between euDKA and empagliflozin as “very likely”. As to euDKA， clinical pharmacists suggested discontinuing empagliflozin and metformin， and giving intravenous infusion of 10% Glucose injection instead of 5% Glucose injection for fluid resuscitation. Clinical pharmacists monitored the patient’s laboratory indicators such as arterial blood gas analysis， blood/urine ketones and electrolytes. They assisted physicians to decide when to stop intravenous supplements of liquid and insulin. Clinical pharmacists also assisted physicians to adjust the antidiabetic drugs and educated the patient to avoid empagliflozin or other sodium- glucose linked transporter 2 inhibitors （SGLT2i）. RESULTS Physicians adopted the suggestions of clinical pharmacists. After treatment， the patient’s condition improved， and he was allowed to be discharged with medication. CONCLUSIONS euDKA is a relatively rare and serious adverse reaction associated with SGLT2i， and the patients with LGMD are susceptible to euDKA. Clinical pharmacists assist physicians in developing personalized medication plans by evaluating the association between euDKA and empagliflozin， adjusting medication regimens，conducting pharmaceutical monitoring，and other pharmaceutical services. Meanwhile， they provide medication education to patients to ensure their medication safety.

AIM: To investigate timing of glucocorticoids use in the treatment of syphilitic uveitis.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in 110 patients(134 eyes)with syphilitic uveitis diagnosed from January 2008 to January 2021, of whom 24 were binocular. The time from onset to treatment was 1 d to 3 mo. They were divided into three groups according to the treatment, including 98 eyes with completed clearely fundus lesions and no abnormalities in fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)+ indocyanine green angiography(ICGA)+ optical coherence tomography(OCT)after treated with antibiotics alone for 1 to 2 wk in single antibiotics group, 26 eyes with in completely cleared fundus lesions and retinal vessels wall staining observed by FFA or choroidal weak fluorescence observed by ICGA after standard antisyphilitic treatments for 1 to 2 wk in first antibiotics followed by hormones group, and 10 eyes treated according to uveitis at other hospital in the absence of a clear cause of disease, that was intravenously dripped with 250 mL of normal saline and 10 mg of dexamethasone once a day for 7 to 10 d in total, then clearly diagnosed as syphilitic uveitis by Treponema pallidum particle agglutination(TPPA)test after receiving treatment for 10 to 14 d in hormones followed by antibiotics group. The best corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, fundus photography, OCT, FFA, ICGA and prognosis of the three groups of patients were compared.RESULTS: There were statistically significant difference in the best corrected visual acuity, optic disc, retinal vasculitis, choroidal weak fluorescence, and RPR titer before and after treatment of the three groups of patients. The prognosis of the hormones followed by antibiotics group was lower than that in the single antibiotics group and antibiotics followed by hormones group, and the proportion of “good” prognosis in the antibiotics followed by hormones group was larger than that in other groups.CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and regular treatment of syphilitic uveitis has a good overall prognosis, and giving large doses of glucocorticoids before thorough antisyphilitic treatments is not conducive to the recovery of disease. In patients with residual lesions after standard antisyphilitic, the application of small doses of glucocorticoids is helpful for the recovery of the disease.

Background Occupational disease diagnosis appraisal is an appeal procedure initiated when a party disagrees with the occupational disease diagnosis conclusion. It is a legal procedure to safeguard the health rights of employees and the legitimate rights and interests of employers. Objective To analyze the data of occupational disease diagnosis appraisal in Shanghai, identify existing problems, and provide suggestions for improving. Methods Statistical analysis was conducted on basic situation, characteristics of workers and employers, disease classification, and consistency between diagnosis and appraisal conclusions of all occupational disease diagnosis appraisal cases from 2012 to 2024. All diagnosis conclusions were named in accordance with the Classified Catalogue of Occupational Diseases included employers were classified according to the Measures for the Statistical Classification of Large, Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises" and the Notice on Adjusting the Provisions for Classifying Enterprise Registration Types; industry classification followed the Industrial Classification for National Economic Activities (GB/T 4754-2017). Results From 2012 to 2024, a total of 260 cases of occupational diseases diagnosis appraisal were closed. The main diagnosis were 138 cases of ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases (53.1%), chemical poisoning (18.8%), and pneumoconiosis and other respiratory diseases (16.2%). The proportion of ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases gradually increased (2022 excluded). The incidence of annual municipal and provincial cases decreased by 76.3% and 85.0% respectively (2024 vs 2012). The consistency rate of conclusions between appraisal and diagnosis gradually increased. The total consistency rates between final appraisals and diagnostic conclusions were 81.5%, and 79.7%, 87.8%, 100.0%, 85.0% for ear, nose, throat, and oral diseases, chemical poisoning, and pneumoconiosis and other respiratory system diseases, respectively. Specifically, the consistency rates were 80.1% and 80.0% for noise-induced deafness and chronic benzene poisoning. In terms of inconsistency reasons, "inconsistent interpretation of standards and excessive discretion in standard application" accounted for 43.8%, followed by "failure to correctly apply standards" (31.3%) and and "discrepancies in occupational exposure history recognition" (15.6%). Conclusion The revisions and improvements of the legal system for occupational disease diagnosis appraisal have played a positive role in improving the consistency of conclusions between appraisal and diagnosis of occupational diseases in Shanghai. It is suggested to further strengthening the publicity and training of occupational disease diagnosis standards to improve the quality of occupational disease diagnosis.

As a glucocorticoid drug with wide clinical application， triamcinolone acetonide can be administered by multiple routes， such as eye， nose， joint cavity， and skin， for the treatment of various local diseases such as arthritis， macular edema， rhinitis， and urticaria. As a drug with extremely low solubility in water， the dose form of triamcinolone acetonide is closely correlated with administration route and site. The dosage form of triamcinolone acetonide administered via injection（including joint cavity injection， vitreous injection， suprachoroidal injection， intramuscular injection） is mainly suspension， and the representative drugs include Kenalog-40®， Zilretta®， Triesence®， Xipere®， etc.； the dosage forms of nasal mucosal administration are mostly sprays， and the representative drug is Nasacort®； the dosage forms of oral mucosal administration are mostly patches， ointments and creams， and the representative drug is Oracort®； the dosage forms for transdermal administration are mostly ointments， creams and lotions， and the representative drugs include Trianex®， Teva-Triacomb®， etc. At present， the research on dosage forms of triamcinolone acetonide by various administration routes mainly focuses on the construction of delivery carriers， the addition of cosolvents or the use of new delivery tools.

Objective To explore the value of serum stearoyl sphingosine(C18∶1-Cer)and 1-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-choline(LPC 18∶0)levels in pregnant women's serum samples during pregnancy in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods The clinical data and laboratory indicators of 126 pregnant women were retrospectively analyzed.The sub-jects were divided into GDM group(n=66)and control group(n=60)according to the GDM diagnosis results.Mass spec-trometry was used to detect the serum C18∶1-Cer and LPC18∶0 levels of the subjects in early and mid pregnancy.Logistic re-gression analysis was used to screen out the risk factors for GDM.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of C18∶1-Cer,LPC18∶0 and their combination for GDM.Results Compared with the control group,the serum C18∶1-Cer and LPC18∶0 levels of the subjects in the GDM group were significantly increased in early(18.92±2.77ng/ml vs 23.47±4.18ng/ml,41.32±17.55ng/ml vs 88.08±16.02ng/ml)and mid pregnancy(23.14±4.10ng/ml vs 18.76±4.05ng/ml,84.60±14.53ng/ml vs 40.50±17.79ng/ml),and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.127,15.637;-5.984,2.174,all P＜0.05)C18∶1-Cer was positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting plasma insulin(FPI),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)and triglyceride(TG)(r=0.458,0.209,0.317,0.223,0.219,all P<0.05).LPC18.0 was positively correlated with FPG,FPI,HOMA-IR,HbA1c,total cholesterol(TC)and TG(r= 0.715,0.426,0.580,0.465,0.232,0.372,all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis results showed that C18∶1-Cer[OR(95%CI):1.522(1.136～2.039),P<0.05]and LPC18:0[OR(95%CI):1.198(1.102～1.302),P<0.001]were independent risk factors for GDM.ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum C18∶1-Cer,LPC18∶0 and the combination of the two indicators were 0.819,0.971 and 0.986,respectively.The predictive performance of the combination of the two indicators was better than that of the single detection.Conclusion Serum C18∶1-Cer and LPC18∶0 in early pregnancy were closely related to the occurrence of GDM.C18∶1-Cer combined with LPC 18∶0 has a certain predictive value for the early diagnosis of GDM.

Objective To establish two golden hamster models infected with hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae via aerosolized intratracheal(i.t.)and intranasal(i.n.)inoculation,and compare their properties.Methods Golden hamsters of 4 to 5 weeks old were exposed to K.pneumoniae NTUH-K2044 via i.t.route and i.n.route respectively.The survival of these golden hamsters was observed and recorded within 14 days of infection before the 50%lethal dose(LD50),survival rate,bacterial respiratory deposition rate,lung bacterial load and histopathology of the infected golden hamsters in the two groups were detected.Results The LD50 of the i.t.route(3×104 CFU)was lower than that of the i.n.route(7×105 CFU)in golden hamsters.After 4×106 CFU NTUH-K2044 infection,the golden hamsters in the i.t.group had 96.46%of the bacteria deposited and colonized in the lung,developed lobar pneumonia and died without exception within 4 days of infection,while those in the i.n.group had 95.62%of the bacteria deposited in the mouth and nose initially before the bacteria moved down to the trachea for colonization and were cleared out gradually.This group mainly acquired bronchopneumonia with relatively mild lung lesions,with a 14-day survival rate of 70%.Conclusion Inoculation routes can make a difference to the disease type of respiratory tract infections in animal models.The i.t.route mainly causes lobar pneumonia with severe lung lesions,while the i.n.route leads to bronchopneumonia with mild lung lesions.The two animal models established above may be utilized for pathogenesis investigation and treatment efficacy evaluation of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
