ObjectiveTo investigate the pathogenic spectrum and epidemiological characteristics of diarrheal disease in Fengxian District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of diarrheal diseases. MethodsBasic information of the initial adult cases visited diarrheal disease surveillance sentinel hospital in Fengxian District, Shanghai, was collected from August 2013 to 2023, and fecal samples were collected at 1∶5 sampling intervals to isolate and identify 5 kinds of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC), Salmonella (SAL), Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Campylobacter, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE). Simultaneously, nucleic acid detection was performed for 3 kinds of rotavirus, 2 kinds of norovirus, intestinal adenovirus, astrovirus and sapovirus. ResultsA total of 1 861 cases of newly diagnosed diarrheal disease were reported, with the peak in July to August. Additionally, 704 surveillance samples were detected, with a total positive detection rate of 50.57%. The detection rates of bacterial, viral and mixed infection were 25.14%, 21.02% and 4.40%, respectively. Among the pathogens detected, DEC accounted for the highest (17.61%, 124/704), followed by norovirus (16.48%, 116/704), rotavirus (6.39%, 45/704), SAL (5.97%, 42/704) and Campylobacter (3.84%, 27/704). DEC detected were mainly enteroaggregative Escherichia coli and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, with no detection of Vibrio cholerae, Shigella and YE. The highest total pathogen detection rate was observed from June to September, and the detection peaks of norovirus were from March to June and from October to December, whereas that of DEC was from June to October. The detection rate of rotavirus peaked from January to February, but which was not detected between 2020‒2023. The SAL positive rate peak was in September, whereas that of Campylobacter was from July to September. ConclusionThe main pathogens detected in Fengxian District from 2013‒2019 are DEC, norovirus, rotavirus, SAL and Campylobacter. Different pathogens have different detection peaks, with bacteria predominating in summer and viruses in winter and spring. Prevention and control measures should be carried out according to the epidemiological characteristics of different seasons.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) levels and 10-year mortality in women aged 40 years and older.Methods:Residents aged 40 and over in urban areas of Guiyang City who participated in the " Epidemiological Study of Cancer Risk in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in China(REACTION)" were followed up in 2011. Finally, 5 614 people were enrolled, and the baseline general information, physical examination and TSH detection were carried out. The average follow-up was(9.77±1.55) years, and the treatment and death of thyroid-related diseases were recorded. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the relationship between TSH level and 10-year mortality in middle-aged and elderly women, and plotting survival time curves(Kaplan-Meier curves) to study the association between elevated TSH levels and lifespan in subjects under 65 years old. Results:The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that compared with the normal group, after multivariate adjustment, the risk of death in the TSH increased group was decreased( HR=0.644, 95% CI 0.478-0.868, P<0.05); after stratifying the elevated TSH group, the risk of death was decreased in the slightly elevated TSH group( HR=0.566, 95% CI 0.405-0.791, P<0.001); the elevated TSH group was further stratified by age. In the group under 65 years old, compared to the normal group, the mildly elevated group showed a reduced risk of mortality( HR=0.429, 95% CI 0.245-0.751, P=0.003). In the group aged 65 and above, there were no statistically significant differences in mortality risk between the mildly elevated group, severely elevated group, and the normal group( P>0.05). In the group under 65 years old, the K-M curve indicated that the survival rate of the mildly elevated TSH group was significantly higher than that of the normal group( χ2=11.931, P=0.003), the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:Mildly elevated TSH levels in women aged 40-65 years are associated with a reduced risk of all-cause death and longer lifespan.

BackgroundChildhood and adolescence are critical stages in psychological development. During the public health emergencies， children and adolescents exhibit weaker psychological coping ability， making them more vulnerable to mental health issues. ObjectiveTo investigate trends in the distribution of hospitalized children and adolescents patients at mental health centers of a general hospital during public health emergencies， so as to provide references for future research and intervention for adolescent under similar contexts. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 6 613 children and adolescent patients hospitalized and discharged from the Mental Health Center of West China Hospital， Sichuan University， from January 1， 2018 to December 31， 2022. Patients were included if their primary diagnosis was schizophrenia， schizotypal disorder and delusional disorder， depressive disorder， bipolar disorder， anxiety disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder in International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. Patients were divided into two groups based on their admission period： pre-COVID-19 pandemic period （from January 1， 2018 to December 31， 2019） and during the COVID-19 pandemic （from January 1， 2020 to December 31， 2022）. Trends in diagnostic distributions were analyzed using the trend chi-square test. ResultsSignificant differences were observed between pre-pandemic and pandemic periods in age， length of hospital stay and sex（t=10.743， 4.082， χ²=29.092， P<0.01）. During the COVID-19 pandemic， the proportions of depressive disorder， bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder among hospitalized children and adolescents patients increased （χ²_trend=11.058， 67.333， 17.276， P<0.01）， while the proportions of schizophrenia， schizotypal disorder and delusional disorder decreased （χ²_trend=219.924， P<0.01）. Among patients aged 6~14 years， the proportion of bipolar disorder increased （χ²_trend=18.207， P<0.01）. Among patients aged 15~19 years， the proportion of bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder also increased （χ²_trend=57.339， 19.011， P<0.01）. In male patients， the proportions of depressive disorder and bipolar disorder increased （χ²_trend=21.729， 11.380， P<0.01）， while in female patients， the proportion of bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder increased （χ²_trend=54.830， 14.377， P<0.01）. ConclusionCompared with the pre-pandemic period， during the COVID-19 pandemic， among hospitalized children and adolescents patients， there are more female patients than male patients， with a tendency for patients to be younger and have shorter lengths of hospital stay. The proportions of depressive disorder， bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder have all increased.

Background Grassroots medical and health personnel are an important component of China's public health system, and guaranteeing their physical and mental health will have a profound impact on the development of China's health service. Objective To identify potential influencing factors of occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia as well as their interactions. Methods In August 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among all the staff (2675 medical and health personnel) at 7 secondary public hospitals and 8 health institutions in Xiong’an New Area of Hebei Province by cluster sampling. Occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia were evaluated by the Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire (ERI), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). The bnlearn and gmodels packages of R4.2.1 software were used to construct Bayesian networks on work and personal factors-occupational stress- health effects. The Bayesian network model was visualized by Netica32.0. Results Among the 3018 questionnaires distributed, a total of 2675 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 88.63%. The positive rates of occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia were 51.48%, 62.13%, 62.50%, and 56.37%, respectively in the grassroots medical and health personnel. The positive rate of occupational stress among the medical and health workers varied by age, educational level, and organization type (P<0.05); the positive rate of anxiety varied by age, marital status, and daily working hours (P<0.05); and the positive rates of depression and insomnia varied by gender, educational level, and overcommitment (P<0.05). The final Bayesian network contained 14 nodes and 18 directed edges, and its prediction accuracy was 85.4%. .Job title, daily working hours, overcommitment and exercise directly associated with occupational stress, and other work and personal factors associated with occupational stress indirectly. Occupational stress associated with insomnia directly or indirectly via anxiety. Anxiety and insomnia associated with reporting depression. Conclusion Grassroots medical and health personnel of Xiong'an New Area, Hebei Province report high levels of occupational stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Occupational stress directly or indirectly associates with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Work and personal factors associate with occupational stress, and associate with anxiety, depression, and insomnia via occupational stress. Occupational stress may be an early warning factor of general work and personal factors affecting anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other mental health problems. Attention should be paid to the assessment and intervention of occupational stress in medical and health personnel to prevent mental health problems.

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 explore the strategy of prostate biopsy in patients with prostate specific antigen(PSA)gray zone based on prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS).Methods:The clinical data of 427 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 66 (61, 72) years old. The median PSA was 6.62 (5.46, 8.19) ng/ml. The median PSA density (PSAD) was 0.15 (0.11, 0.21) ng/ml 2. The median prostate volume (PV) was 43.68 (31.12, 56.82) ml. PSA velocity (PSAV) data were available in 65 patients with negative MRI examination(PI-RADS <3), and the median PSAV was 1.40 (0.69, 2.89) ng/(ml· year). Among the patients with positive MRI(PI-RADS≥3), there were 174 patients with only 1 lesion and 83 patients with ≥2 lesions. A total of 170 patients with negative MRI underwent systematic biopsy, and 257 patients with positive MRI underwent systematic combined targeted biopsy. The PI-RADS score, regions of interest(ROI), PSAD, f/tPSA and PSAV were analyzed to explore the biopsy strategy for patients with PSA gray area based on bpMRI imaging. Results:Of the 427 patients included in the study, 194 were positive and 233 were negative. Among the patients with positive biopsy pathology, 140 cases were clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa). Among the MRI-negative patients, there were 33 cases with PSAV ≥1.4 ng/(ml·year), and 10 cases of prostate cancer and 6 cases of CsPCa were detected by systematic biopsy.In 32 cases with PSAV <1.4 ng/(ml·year), 3 cases of prostate cancer and 0 case of CsPCa were detected by systematic biopsy. The sensitivity of systematic biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and CsPCa in patients with PSAV≥1.4 ng/(ml·year) were 76.9% (10/13) and 100.0% (6/6) respectively, the specificity were 55.8% (29/52) and 54.2% (32/59) respectively, the negative predictive value were 90.6% (29/32) and 100.0% (32/32) respectively, and the positive predictive value were 30.3% (10/33) and 18.2% (6/33) respectively. In MRI-positive patients with PI-RADS 3, the prostate cancer detection rates of targeted biopsy combined with systematic biopsy, systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy were 41.7% (45/108), 32.4% (35/108) and 35.2% (38/108), respectively ( P=0.349). The detection rates of CsPCa were 27.8% (30/108), 21.3% (23/108) and 25.0% (27/108), respectively ( P=0.541). In patients with PI-RADS 4-5 and PSAD > 0.15 ng/ml 2, the detection rates of CsPCa in targeted biopsy combined with systematic biopsy, systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy were 67.8% (61/90), 58.9% (53/90) and 67.8% (61/90), respectively ( P=0.354). Conclusions:For MRI-negative patients, all CsPCa could be detected by perineal systematic biopsy when PSAV ≥1.4 ng/(ml·year), and active observation could be performed when PSAV <1.4 ng/(ml·year). For MRI-positive patients, targeted combined systemic biopsy was required when PI-RADS score was 3, and targeted biopsy only could be performed when PI-RADS score ≥4 and PSAD >0.15 ng/ml 2, otherwise targeted combined systemic biopsy was required.

Objective:To investigate the 10-years risk for cardiovascular diseases(CVD) among different subtypes of pre-diabetes(Pre-DM) residents aged 40 and above in Guiyang urban area and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A total of 5 798 residents who participated in the " Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabe Tic Individuals: a lONgitudinal(REACTION) Study" were selected to undergo oral glucose tolerance test and glycated hemoglobin test. According to the Pre-DM diagnostic criteria, normal glucose tolerance(NGT), impaired fasting glucose(IFG), impaired glucose tolerance(IGT), and diabetes mellitus were defined based on glycated hemoglobin(IA1C), and were combined into four groups: NGT group, single subtype group(IFG, IGT, IA1C), two-subtype combination group(IFG+ IGT, IFG+ IA1C, IGT+ IA1C), and three-subtype combination group(IFG+ IGT+ IA1C). Ten-year cardiovascular disease occurrence was investigated. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk of CVD occurrence in different subtypes of Pre-DM residents. Results:(1)The incidence in the single subtype group, two subtypes group and three subtypes group of CVD was 6.6%(182/2 752), 8.4%(135/1 613) and 9.6%(53/551) , respectively, all higher than NGT group at 5.2%(46/882). (2) Regardless of diagnosed by fasting blood glucose, 2 h blood glucose, or glycated hemoglobin, the 10-year CVD incidence rates(8.7%, 8.6%, 7.6%) in Pre-DM were higher than that in the NGT group(5.2%; all P<0.05). (3)After multivariate adjustment, compared with the NGT group, the 10-year CVD risk gradually increased in the single subtype group, two-subtype group, and three-subtype group, with OR of 1.03(95% CI 0.74-1.45), 1.08(95% CI 0.75-1.54), and 1.16(95% CI 0.75-1.78), respectively. Conclusion:The Pre-DM population has a higher 10-year risk for CVD, and the risk increases gradually with the accumulation of subtypes. Therefore the prevention and treatment of CVD should focus on the management of the Pre-DM population.

Objective:To explore the genotypes and clinical phenotypes of three families with Liddle Syndrome(LS).Methods:In this study, three young patients with hypertension and hypokalemia were confirmed LS through second-generation sequencing genetic testing. Members of the three families were screened for genes, and genotypes and clinical phenotypes were analyzed.Results:This study identified three patients in Family 1 carrying a possible pathogenic heterozygous variant c. 1859A>G(p.Y620C) in the SCNN1B gene(sodium channel epithelia 1β subunit). Five patients in family 2 and family 3 carried the pathogenic heterozygous variant c. 1789dup(p.R597Pfs*11) in the SCNN1B gene. Following three months of treatment with salt restriction and triamterene, blood pressure and potassium levels returned to normal in all eight patients.Conclusion:LS patients typically present clinically with early-onset hypertension accompanied by hypokalemia, but there is clinical heterogeneity. It is recommended to conduct genetic testing on suspected patients as early as possible to confirm the diagnosis and initiate timely treatment with effective medications so as to reduce the complications of target organs.

Purpose To explore the imaging features and clinical pathology characteristics of extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma(EES).Materials and Methods The clinical and imaging data and pathological findings of 14 patients with EES confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.CT examination was performed in 7 cases(including 5 enhanced)and MRI was performed on 9 cases(including 8 enhanced).Results The anatomic locations of the 14 patients included paraspinal area(n=3),mediastinum(n=1),right supraclavicular(n=1),left thigh(n=1),left parapubic region(n=1),retroperitoneal(n=1),pelvic cavity(n=1),prostate(n=2),left kidney(n=1),pancreas(n=1)and liver(n=1).All 14 cases of EES showed single solid mass,13 cases were lumpy,and the maximum diameter of the lesion ranged from 48.0 mm to 180.0 mm.8 cases showed uneven density or signal,cystic degeneration and necrosis was seen.one case had calcification.After enhancement,8 cases showed uneven enhancement,12 cases showed severe or moderate enhancement.10 cases were irregular in shape,11 cases had peripheral organ or tissue invasion,3 cases had no peripheral organ or tissue invasion.5 cases had peripheral bone destruction.One case had left renal vein and inferior vena cava tumor thrombus and thrombus,iliac vein thrombus.Conclusion The clinical symptoms of EES are nonspecific.The imaging manifestations of EES are mostly massive solid masses in extraosseous soft tissue,with uneven density or signal,irregular shape,often accompanied by cystic degeneration and necrosis and invasion of surrounding organs or tissues.Imaging is of great value in preoperative diagnosis,clinical staging,treatment and efficacy evaluation.
