OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of lacosamide (LCM) and carbamazepine (CAR) as monotherapy in the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy. METHODS By methods of retrospective analysis, 84 adult patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy, were admitted to the Department of Neurology, Huaihe Hospital of Henan University during Sept. 2020-Jun. 2022, were divided into the control group (40 cases, receiving CAR treatment) and the observation group (44 cases, receiving LCM treatment) according to different medication regimens. Total response rate, epilepsy seizure frequency, blood lipid levels, and the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) of patients were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS In the first month after treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the total response rate between the observation group (63.64%) and the control group (55.00%, P>0.05); the frequency of epilepsy seizure in both groups was significantly reduced compared to before treatment (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). In the third month after treatment, the total response rate of the observation group (90.91%) was significantly higher than control group (67.50%, P<0.05); the frequencies of epilepsy seizure in both groups were significantly reduced compared to before treatment, and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). In the third month after treatment, the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholestrol (LDL-C) in the control group and the level of LDL-C in the observation group were significantly higher than before treatment, and the levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of AEs between the observation group (15.91%) and the control group (17.50%, P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both LCM and CAR have certain effects in the treatment of newly diagnosed epilepsy in adults, which can reduce the frequency of epilepsy seizure in patients and have comparable safety. Meanwhile, LCM has better long-term efficacy than CAR in treating newly diagnosed epilepsy in adults, and its impact on the patient’s blood lipid is smaller than CAR.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pathogens in foodborne disease cases in Haining City, Zhejiang Province, and to provide a basis for the prevention and investigation of foodborne diseases and outbreak events. MethodsInformation on foodborne disease patients from 2014 to 2023 was collected, and stool or anal swab samples were tested for relevant pathogens. The χ2 test was used to compare the differences in pathogen detection rates among different groups, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for pathogen detection. ResultsA total of 5 814 samples were tested, with a positive detection rate of 15.36%. The detection rates were 4.95% for norovirus, 4.49% for Escherichia coli, 3.59% for Salmonella, 2.22% for Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and 0.11% for Shigella. The positive detection rates showed seasonal characteristics, with a minor peak in March-April dominated by norovirus and a major peak in July-September dominated by bacteria. The three groups with the highest detection rates were workers, white-collar workers and other groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, season, and antibiotic use before consultation were significant influencing factors for pathogen detection (P<0.05). Total pathogen detection risk was lower in the group that took antibiotics before visiting the clinic compared to those who did not (OR=0.29, 95%CI: 0.15‒0.49). The detection risk for norovirus was lower in the preschool age group (OR=0.19, 95%CI: 0.04‒1.00), in summer and autumn (OR range 0.23‒0.41), and in the group taking antibiotics (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.15‒0.92), but higher in the adolescent group (OR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.05‒1.88). The detection risk for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli was higher in summer (OR=1.82, 95%CI: 1.30‒2.60). The detection risk for Salmonella increased in the elderly group and in summer (OR range 1.44‒2.21), but decreased in the adolescent group, in winter, and in the group taking antibiotics (OR range 0.22‒0.65). The detection risk for Vibrio parahaemolyticus increased in summer and autumn (OR range 1.80‒1.90), but decreased in the primary and secondary school student group and in winter (OR range 0.10‒0.32). ConclusionThe prevalence of foodborne disease pathogens in Haining City is relatively high. Age, season, and antibiotic use before consultation are independent influencing factors for pathogen detection. These findings suggest that specific hypotheses regarding pathogenic factors can be proposed based on the time of occurrence and the age distribution of cases during field investigations of foodborne outbreaks.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis. In the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, only a small number of patients can receive surgical treatment in time, and the rest often have local infiltration or distant metastasis at the time of presentation, which can only prolong the overall survival by adjuvant therapy. At present, the main adjuvant treatments in clinical practice include chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. This article reviews the progress of systemic therapy and some clinical trials in patients with advanced unresectable ICC, to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ICC.

Objective:
To describe the secular trend of BMI and its consistency with self-rated BMI status in Chinese children and adolescents, and to further investigate the related factors affecting self-rated BMI,so as to provide a scientific reference for interventional measures.
Methods:
A total of 6 238 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years were selected according to date from Chinese Health and Nutrition Svrvey during 2000-2015 and the criteria from National Health Commission of China.The Lambda-Mu-Sigma method(LMS) and Kappa consistency test were, respectively, applied to describe the percentiles for BMI and its agreement with self-rated BMI status. Multinomial Logistic model was used to assess the related factors influencing self-rated BMI status.
Results:
P50 and P85 percentiles showed an increasing trend, especially the increase of high percentile of BMI. Regardless of age and sex, the measured and self-rated BMI showed low agreement. More than 50% of over-weighted or underweighted children perceived themselves as normal-weight, and about 1/4 of normal weight students misclassified themselves as abnormal in weight. Urban boys were more likely to evaluate themselves as underweight [OR(95%CI) =1.43(1.18-1.73)]. Boys who favored popular showed[OR(95%CI)=1.80(1.23-2.55) and cartoon [OR (95%CI) =1.39(1.00-1.96)] were more likely to consider themselves as overweight. Girls in the older age group [OR (95%CI)=2.74(2.08-3.61)] and urban [1.53(1.21-1.94)] who favored popular programs [OR(95%CI) =1.74(1.27-2.38)] were more likely to perceived themselves as overweight. But girls who like anime/cartoons were more likely to think they were underweight [OR(95%CI)=1.78(1.33-2.40)].
Conclusion
The trend of BMI has shown an increasing trend in the past decade and it demonstrated a large bias with perceived BMI. Age, area and type of video were significant factors that influenced the self-rated BMI status.
