Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), one of the main components of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), have a certain impact on ambient air quality, and long-term exposure to PAHs may pose potential health risks to human beings. Objective To identify the distribution characteristics and sources of PAHs in atmospheric PM_2.5 in a district of Taizhou City from 2019 to 2021, and to evaluate the health risks of PAHs to the population in the area through the inhalation pathway. Methods From 2019 to 2021, air PM_2.5 sampling was carried out at a state-controlled surveillance point in a district of Taizhou City for 7 consecutive days on the 10th-16th of each month, the sampling time was 24 h·d⁻¹, and the sampling flow rate was 100 L·min⁻¹. PM_2.5 mass concentration was calculated by gravimetric method. A total of 16 PAHs were determined by ultrasonic extraction-liquid chromatography. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the distribution charac teristics of PAHs concentrations by years and seasons, characteristic ratio and principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze their sources, and a lifetime carcinogenic risk (ILCR) model was used to assess the health risk of PAHs. Results From 2019 to 2021, the annual average concentrations [M (P₂₅, P₇₅)] of ∑PAHs in atmospheric PM_2.5 in the selected district of Taizhou City were 6.52 (2.46, 10.59), 8.52 (4.56, 12.29), and 3.72 (1.51, 7.11) ng·m⁻³, respectively, and the annual benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) excess rates (national limit: 1 ng·m⁻³) were 27.38% (23/84), 47.62% (40/84), and 19.04% (16/84), respectively, both presenting 2020> 2019 > 2021 (P<0.001, P<0.05). The ∑PAHs concentration distribution showed a seasonal variation, with the highest value in winter and the lowest value in summer (P<0.05). Among the atmospheric PM_2.5 samples, the proportion of 5-ring PAHs was the highest, the proportion of 2-3-ring PAHs was the lowest; the proportion of 2-4-ring PAHs showed a yearly upward trend, and the proportion of 5-6-ring PAHs showed yearly downward trend (P<0.05). The characteristic ratio and PCA results suggested that the sources of sampled PAHs were mainly mixed sources such as dust, fossil fuel (natural gas), coal combustion, industrial emissions, and motor vehicle exhaust emissions. The ILCR (R_ILCR) of PAHs by inhalation for men, women, and children were 1.83×10⁻⁶, 2.35×10⁻⁶, and 2.04×10⁻⁶, respectively, and the annual average R_ILCR was 2.07×10⁻⁶, all greater than 1×10⁻⁶. Conclusion For the sampled time period, the main sources of PAHs pollution in atmospheric PM_2.5 in the target district of Taizhou City are dust, fossil fuel (natural gas), coal combustion, industrial emissions, motor vehicle emissions, etc., and PAHs may have a potential carcinogenic risk to local residents.

Objective:To investigate the construction and application of telemedicine system in Tibet Autonomous Region.Methods:From June to July 2020, medical institutions at all levels in Tibet Autonomous Region were visited. Relevant information was collected through discussion, questionnaires and field visits, and the data of effective questionnaires were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 125 medical institutions were visited, covering 7 regions of Tibet Autonomous Region, of which 74 medical institutions were able to realize audio-video two-way communication with the telemedicine platform of the PLA General Hospital. Seventy-three valid questionnaires were collected, and 64(88%)hospitals had software or hardware audio and video terminals. Twenty-five hospitals had never carried out remote consultation, accounting for 34%. The annual remote consultation amount of 35 hospitals was less than 10 cases, and that of 11 hospitals was 11-100 cases. Only 2 hospitals had carried out remote ECG and remote ultrasound diagnosis, with an annual consultation volume of more than 100 cases.Conclusions:The hospitals at or above the county level in Tibet Autonomous Region have established telemedicine system, but there are few remote services, the system idle rate is high, and the distance education resources are not matched.

Objective To employ Logistic regression modeling to analyze the related factors influencing the accuracy of the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination of preservatives in beverages. Methods The HPLC separation was performed on a Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column with methanol-ammonium acetate solution as mobile phase. The external standard method was used to determine 5 beverage preservatives. The influencing factors on the measurement accuracy were statistically evaluated with univariate and multivariate analysis. Results Univariate analysis showed that the recovery rate of the added standard in the determination of coffee beverage preservatives by HPLC was affected by the pretreatment method, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the main influencing factors on the accuracy of determination of sorbic acid was the pretreatment method (OR=5.406, P<0.05), while the sample type was a protective factor (OR=0.134, P<0.05). For the determination of benzoic acid, the main factor influencing the accuracy was the sample type (OR=1.112, P<0.05), while the pretreatment method was a protective factor (OR=0.447, P<0.05). Conclusion Logistic regression analysis can identify risk factors for the accuracy of the determination, and provide statistical modeling support for the experimental optimization.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of venetoclax with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) in Chinese patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are unable to tolerate intensive induction chemotherapy.Methods:Adults ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed AML who were ineligible for intensive chemotherapy were enrolled in this international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Globally, patients ( n=211) were randomized 2∶1 to either venetoclax with LDAC or placebo with LDAC in 28-d cycles, with LDAC on days 1-10. The primary endpoint was OS; the secondary endpoints included response rates, event-free survival, and adverse events. Results:A total of 15 Chinese patients were enrolled (venetoclax arm, n=9; placebo arm, n=6) . The median age was 72 years (range, 61-86) . For the primary analysis, the venetoclax arm provided a 38% reduction in death risk compared with the placebo[hazard ratio ( HR) , 0.62 (95% CI 0.12-3.07) ]. An unplanned analysis with an additional 6 months of follow-up demonstrated a median OS of 9.0 months for venetoclax compared with 4.1 months for placebo. The complete remission (CR) rates with CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) were 3/9 (33%) and 0/6 (0%) , respectively. The most common non-hematologic adverse effects (venetoclax vs placebo) were hypokalemia[5/9 (56%) vs 4/6 (67%) ], vomiting[4/9 (44%) vs 3/6 (50%) ], constipation[2/9 (22%) vs 4/6 (67%) ], and hypoalbuminemia[1/9 (11%) vs 4/6 (67%) ]. Conclusion:Venetoclax with LDAC demonstrated meaningful efficacy and a manageable safety profile in Chinese patients consistent with the observations from the global VIALE-C population, making it an important treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed AML who are otherwise ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
