AIM: To investigate the preoperative ocular symptoms and the characteristics of asymptomatic ocular surface abnormalities in hospitalized patients with primary pterygium.METHODS: Cross-sectional study. Hospitalized patients diagnosed with primary pterygium and scheduled to receive pterygium excision surgery at the Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University from August 2022 to October 2022 were enrolled. Ocular surface disease index questionnaire(OSDI), six examinations including non-invasive tear film break-up time, Schirmer I test, tear meniscus height, lid margin abnormality, meibomian gland dropout and tear film lipid layer thickness, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT)were performed and statistically analyzed.RESULTS: A total of 178 cases(178 eyes), with a mean age of 54.39±10.75 years old, were recruited, including 75 males(42.1%)and 103 females(57.9%). The average values of ocular surface parameters in these patients included OSDI: 11.47±9.69, tear film break-up time: 7.10±3.86 s; tear meniscus height: 0.16±0.07 mm, Schirmer I test values: 14.39±7.29 mm/5 min, and pterygium thickness: 504.74±175.87 μm. Totally 161 eyes(90.4%)presented with abnormal lid margin, 44 eyes(24.7%)presented with meibomian gland dropout score ≥4, 52 eyes(29.2%)presented with low lipid layer thickness. In the 6 objective examinations, abnormalities in at least 4 of these tests were found in 85.4% of eyes. Pterygium morphology was classified into four grades: 10 eyes(5.6%)of grade Ⅰ, 93 eyes(52.2%)of grade Ⅱ, 60 eyes(33.7%)of grade Ⅲ, and 15 eyes(8.4%)of grade Ⅳ. In patients with a higher grade of pterygium, the tear film break-up time was lower, and the proportion of abnormal lid margin was also significantly higher(P<0.05). The patients were further divided into two subgroups, including 121 eyes(68.0%)with normal OSDI <13 in the normal group and 57 eyes(32.0%)with OSDI ≥13 in the abnormal group. No significant difference was found in the proportion of meibomian gland dysfunction between the two groups of patients(71.9% vs. 71.9%, P=0.872). In addition, there were differences in the number of abnormal objective examinations(4.11±0.85 vs. 4.91±0.99, P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Asymptomatic ocular surface abnormalities were present preoperatively in patients hospitalized for primary pterygium. A comparable high incidence of structural or functional meibomian gland dysfunction existed in pterygium patients with or without apparent ocular discomfort. More attention should be paid to the ocular surface abnormalities in those asymptomatic patients before primary pterygium surgery.

Purpose To explore the differences of the accuracy of detection and recognition of thyroid nodules and the diagnostic efficacy of benign and malignant thyroid nodules via artificial intelligence(AI)ultrasound assisted systems based on different ultrasound parameters.Materials and Methods A total of 147 patients with 289 nodules who underwent thyroid surgery in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 30,2023 to May 1,2023 were prospectively selected.Different ultrasound parameters were adjusted and the AI system was used to detect and diagnose benign and malignant thyroid nodules via each parameter.Taken pathological results as the gold standard,the accuracy of thyroid nodule detection and the accuracy of benign and malignant diagnosis under different ultrasound parameters were compared,respectively.Results Under the standard ultrasound parameters,the accuracy of AI system in detecting thyroid nodules was 94.1%,the sensitivity for benign and malignant diagnosis was 90.9%,the specificity was 79.6%,and the accuracy was 86.6%,respectively.In terms of detection accuracy,accuracy under low gain(χ2=4.453,P=0.035)and high gain(χ2=6.215,P=0.013)parameters of AI system were significantly lower than those of standard ultrasound parameters.In terms of diagnostic efficacy,specificity(χ2=4.620,P=0.032),accuracy(χ2=7.521,P=0.006),area under the curve(Z=3.102,P=0.001),high gain sensitivity(χ2=6.170,P=0.013),accuracy(χ2=4.127,P=0.042),area under the curve(Z=2.152,P=0.031)and high depth accuracy(χ2=5.011,P=0.025),area under the curve(Z=2.420,P=0.015)of low gain were all significantly reduced compared to standard ultrasound parameters,with statistical differences.Conclusion When using the AI system to assist in the examination of thyroid nodules,attention should be paid to the adjustment of ultrasound instrument parameters.Improper parameter adjustment may reduce the AI system's ability to detect thyroid nodules and the accuracy of benign and malignant diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the interactive effect of mismatch repair (MMR) protein status and adverse clinicopathological features on prognosis of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ colon cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 650 patients with colon cancer of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ who were admitted to 7 hospitals in China from January 2016 to December 2017 were collected. There were 963 males and 687 females, aged 62(53,71)years. Patients were classified as 230 cases of MMR deficiency (dMMR) and 1 420 cases of MMR proficiency (pMMR) based on their MMR protein status. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between patients of different MMR protein status; (2) analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of dMMR; (3) analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of pMMR; (4) interaction analysis of MMR and adverse clinicopathological features on survival outcomes. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The random forest interpolation method was used for missing values in data interpolation. Univariate analysis was conducted using the COX proportional risk regression model, and multivariate analysis was conducted using the COX stepwise regression with forward method. The coefficient of multiplication interaction effect was obtained using the interaction term coefficient of COX proportional risk regression model. Evaluation of additive interaction effects was conducted using the relative excess risk due to interaction ( RERI). Results:(1) Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between patients of different MMR protein status. There were significant differences in age, T staging, the number of lymph node harvest, the number of lymph node harvest <12, high grade tumor between patients of dMMR and pMMR ( P<0.05). (2) Analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of dMMR. Results of multivariate analysis showed that T staging, N staging, the number of lymph node harvest <12 were independent factors affecting the disease-free survival (DFS) of colon cancer patients of dMMR ( hazard ratio=3.548, 2.589, 6.702, 95% confidence interval as 1.460-8.620, 1.064-6.301, 1.886-23.813, P<0.05). Age and N staging were independent factors affecting the overall survival (OS) of colon cancer patients of dMMR ( hazard ratio=1.073, 10.684, 95% confidence interval as 1.021-1.126, 2.311-49.404, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients of pMMR. Results of multivariate analysis showed that age, T staging, N staging, vascular tumor thrombus were independent factors affecting the DFS of colon cancer patients of pMMR ( hazard ratio=1.018, 2.214, 2.598, 1.549, 95% confidence interval as 1.006-1.030, 1.618-3.030, 1.921-3.513, 1.118-2.147, P<0.05). Age, T staging, N staging, high grade tumor were independent factors affecting the OS of colon cancer patients of pMMR ( hazard ratio=1.036, 2.080, 2.591, 1.615, 95% confidence interval as 1.020-1.052, 1.407-3.075, 1.791-3.748, 1.114-2.341, P<0.05). (4) Interaction analysis of MMR and adverse clinicopathological features on survival outcomes. Results of interaction analysis showed that the multiplication interaction effect between the number of lymph node harvest <12 and MMR protein status was significant on DFS of colon cancer patients ( hazard ratio=3.923, 95% confidence interval as 1.057-14.555, P<0.05). The additive interaction effects between age and MMR protein status, between high grade tumor and MMR protein status were significant on OS of colon cancer patients ( RERI=-0.033, -1.304, 95% confidence interval as -0.049 to -0.018, -2.462 to -0.146). Conclusions:There is an interaction between the MMR protein status and the adverse clinicopathological features (the number of lymph node harvest <12, high grade tumor) on prognosis of colon cancer patients of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ. In patients of dMMR, the number of lymph node harvest <12 has a stronger predictive effect on poor prognosis. In patients of pMMR, the high grade tumor has a stronger predictive effect on poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the pollution levels and influencing factors of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in household dust in five cities in northern China.Methods:Based on the "Chinese Indoor Environment and Health Surveillance" project carried out by the National Institute of Environmental Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2018-2019, during the warm season (April 2018 to September 2018) and the cold season (November 2018 to March 2019), Lanzhou in Northwest China, Shijiazhuang in North China, Panjin in Northeast China, Luoyang in Central China, and Qingdao in East China were selected as the research sites. A total of 87 families were recruited to study residences in real-life scenarios. At the same time, dust samples were collected to detect the concentration of PBDEs. The level of household environmental indicators was measured, and the residential building characteristics and family behavior habits were collected through questionnaires. A total of 142 valid dust samples and 140 valid questionnaires were obtained. The differences in PBDE concentrations across seasons, wind zones, residential building characteristics, and family habits were analyzed. The exploratory factor analysis was performed to investigate the possible sources of PBDEs, and multivariate linear regression was used to explore the factors influencing PBDEs in household dust.Results:The M ( Q1,Q3) of total PBDE concentrations in 142 household dust samples in five cities was 144.51 (106.61, 222.65) ng/g in the warm season and 145.10 (98.57, 180.65) ng/g in the cold season, respectively. There were seasonal differences in the concentration of ∑ 12PBDEs in Luoyang and Shijiazhuang ( P<0.01). The concentration of BDE-71 was highest among PBDE homologues, followed by BDE-66 and BDE-47. Three factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis in the warm season, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 67.90%. The multivariate linear regression showed that the house completion less than ten years [ β (95% CI): 0.186 (0.013, 0.359)], infrequent home cooking [ β (95% CI):-0.342 (-0.570, -0.114)], and increased residential PM 10 concentration [ β (95% CI): 0.001 (0.000, 0.002)] during the warm season, as well as the house far from driveway [ β (95% CI): 0.093 (0.013, 0.172)], house area less than 90 m 2 [ β (95% CI):-0.138 (-0.264, -0.013)], and lower residential xylene concentration [ β (95% CI):-0.006 (-0.011, -0.001)] during the cold season might be related to the elevated concentrations of ∑ 12PBDEs in household dust. Conclusion:The pollution of PBDEs in household dust in five northern cities is at a medium to high level. Years of house completion, frequency of cooking at home, residential PM 10 concentration, distance from house to driveway, house area, and residential xylene concentration may influence household PBDE concentrations.

Endo-periodontal lesions(EPLs)involve both the periodontium and pulp tissue and have complicated etiologies and pathogenic mechanisms,including unique anatomical and microbiological characteristics and multiple contributing factors.This etiological complexity leads to difficulties in determining patient prognosis,posing great challenges in clinical practice.Furthermore,EPL-affected teeth require multidisciplinary therapy,including periodontal therapy,endodontic therapy and others,but there is still much debate about the appropriate timing of periodontal therapy and root canal therapy.By compiling the most recent findings on the etiology,pathogenesis,clinical characteristics,diagnosis,therapy,and prognosis of EPL-affected teeth,this consensus sought to support clinicians in making the best possible treatment decisions based on both biological and clinical evidence.

AIM:To analyze the potential catego-ries and influencing factors of self concealment in breast cancer patients.METHODS:A total of 207 breast cancer patients from two hospitals in Anhui province were conveniently selected and investigat-ed with general information questionnaire,self con-cealment scale,perceived social support scale and chronic disease stigma scale.Potential profile analy-sis was used to explore the categories and charac-teristics of self concealment,and single factor anal-ysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of different categories.RE-SULTS:Self concealment of breast cancer patients was divided into two categories:low self conceal-ment group and high self concealment group.Logis-tic regression analysis showed that the main care-givers,comorbidities,perceived social support and sense of shame were the influencing factors of the potential profile of self concealment of breast can-cer patients(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Breast cancer patients have obvious category characteristics.Medical staff should pay attention to the level of self concealment of breast cancer patients,and for-mulate precision strategies according to different categories of influencing factors.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for late-onset hemorrhagic cystitis(LOHC)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT),the risk factors for the progression of LOHC to severe LOHC,and the effect of LOHC on survival.Methods:The clinical data of 300 patients who underwent allo-HSCT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The relevant clinical parameters that may affect the occurance of LOHC after allo-HSCT were selected for univariate and multivariate analysis.Then,the differences in overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)between different groups were analyzed.Results:The results of multivariate analysis showed that the independent risk factors for LOHC after allo-HSCT were as follows:age≤45 years old(P=0.039),intensified conditioning regimen with fludarabine/cladribine and cytarabine(P=0.002),albumin ≤ 30 g/L on d30 after transplantation(P=0.007),CMV-DNA positive(P=0.028),fungal infection before transplantation(P=0.026),and the occurrence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD(P=0.006).In the transplant patients who have already developed LOHC,the occurance of LOHC within 32 days after transplantation(P=0.008)and albumin ≤ 30 g/L on d30 after transplantation(P=0.032)were independent risk factors for the progression to severe LOHC.The OS rate of patients with severe LOHC was significantly lower than that of patients without LOHC(P=0.041).Conclusion:For the patients aged ≤ 45 years old and with intensified conditioning regimen,it is necessary to be vigilant about the occurrence of LOHC;For the patients with earlier occurrence of LOHC,it is necessary to be vigilant that it develops into severe LOHC.Early prevention and treatment of LOHC are essential.Regular monitoring of CMV-DNA and albumin levels,highly effective antiviral and antifungal therapies,and prevention of aGVHD are effective measures to prevent the occurrence and development of LOHC.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of primary poor graft function (PGF) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myeloid malignancies and the impact of primary PGF on survival. Methods:The clinical data of 146 patients with myeloid malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively studied. Some relevant clinical parameters which may affect the development of primary PGF after allo-HSCT were selected for univariate and multivariate analysis,as well as performed survival analysis. Results:A total of 9 patients (6.16％) were diagnosed with primary PGF,and their medium age was 37(28-53) years old. Among them,1 case underwent matched sibling donor HSCT,1 case underwent matched unrelated donor HSCT,and 7 cases underwent HLA-haploidentical related donor HSCT. Moreover,5 cases were diagnosed as cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection,and 3 cases as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that CD34+cell dose<5×106/kg and pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)>10 mg/L were independent risk factors for occurrence of the primary PGF after allo-HSCT in patients with myeloid malignancies. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of primary PGF group was 52.5％,which was significantly lower than 82.8％ of good graft function group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Making sure pre-transplant CRP≤10 mg/L and CD34+cell dose ≥5×106/kg in the graft may have an effect on preventing the occurrence of primary PGF after allo-HSCT. The occurrence of primary PGF may affect the OS rate of transplant patients,and early prevention and treatment are required.

The health insurance fund acts as the resource for the survival of medical institutions.However,it has shown a development trend of structural friction in the county.By analyzing the relationship between strategic purchasing and the function of health insurance system,this study clarifies the central position of payment and the roles of fund allocation and service compensation.By analyzing the reasons of the imbalance between the health insurance fund and primary services in the county,this study proposes that the strategic purchasing of health care services in the county needs to take into account both the front-end of payment-allocation,and the front-end of service--primary.On this basis,this study put forwards the strategic purchasing of primary health services,which aims to cut off the fund"competition"channel between hospitals and primary health care institutions by changing the fund distribution method;to guide the primary health care to proactively identify and satisfy the changes of the county's residents'service needs by adjusting the service compensation method;and supplemented with joint advocacy and collaborative supervision.The strategic purchasing of primary health services will gradually promote the development of primary health services in the county from sustainable to high-quality.
