Objective The occurrence of chickenpox in rapidly developing areas poses substantial seasonal risk to children.However,certain factors influencing local chickenpox outbreaks have not been studied.Here,we examined the relationship between spatial clustering,heterogeneity of chickenpox outbreaks,and socioeconomic factors in Southern China. Methods We assessed chickenpox outbreak data from Southern China between 2006 and 2021,comprising both relatively fast-growing parts and slower sub-regions,and provides a representative sample of many developing regions.We analyzed the spatial clustering attributes associated with chickenpox outbreaks using Moran's I and local indicators of spatial association and quantified their socioeconomic determinants using Geodetector q statistics. Results There were significant spatial heterogeneity in the risk of chickenpox outbreaks,with strong correlations between chickenpox risk and various factors,particularly demographics and living environment.Furthermore,interactive effects among specific are factors,such as population density and per capita residential building area,percentage of households with toilets,percentage of rental housing,exhibited q statistics of 0.28,0.25,and 0.24,respectively. Conclusion This study provides valuable insights into the spatial dynamics of chickenpox outbreaks in rapidly developing regions,revealing the socioeconomic factors affecting disease transmission.These implications extend the formulation of effective public health strategies and interventions to prevent and control chickenpox outbreaks in similar global contexts.

Objective:To explore how to avoid screw in-out-in in fixation of femoral neck fractures with 3 cannulated screws based on analysis of 3D fine anatomical morphology of the head, neck, and proximal end of the femur.Methods:The CT data of the healthy femurs were collected retrospectively of the 22 patients with hip fracture who had been admitted to Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, The First Hospital Affiliated to Dalian Medical University from September 2021 to March 2024. There were 12 males and 10 females with an age of (52.5±16.8) years. The CT data of the healthy femurs of the patients were imported into software Mimics 19.0 to establish a 3D model of the proximal femur. The fine anatomy of the head, neck, and proximal end of the femur was measured and analyzed to determine the optimal decentralized arrangement of the 3 cannulated screws at the narrowest medullary cavity along the femoral neck axis. 3D model simulation was conducted to observe and analyze the occurrence of screw in-out-in after fixation of femoral neck fracture with 3 cannulated screws in different configurations. The inclination angle of the posterior superior cortical slope of the femoral neck (i.e. negative anteversion angle) was measured. Fluoroscopy was simulated at the negative anteversion angle to observe the occurrence of in-out-in of the posterior upper screw after fixation of femoral neck fracture with 3 cannulated screws. The efficacy of the optimal configuration and fluoroscopy at the negative anteversion angle was validated in the clinical treatment of 2 patients with femoral neck fracture (one 51-year-old male patient and one 68-year-old female patient).Results:The 3D model of the head, neck, and proximal end of the femur showed that the medullary cavity of the femoral head and neck was not on the same plane of the medullary cavity of the proximal femur, but was offset forward by about 1/4 from the proximal femur [(6.16±0.86) mm]. The narrowest part of the femoral neck medullary cavity was irregular in shape. The most reasonable configuration for the decentralized arrangement of 3 cannulated screws was like an inverted right angle in shape (improved inverted right angle configuration), but not the traditional configuration of an inverted triangle in shape. In 3D model simulation, the traditional inverted triangle configuration with 3 cannulated screws led to occurrence of in-out-in of the posterior upper screw while the improved inverted right angle configuration led to no occurrence of in-out-in of the posterior upper screw. Intraoperative fluoroscopy at the negative anteversion angle (31.02°±3.32°) could be used to detect whether in-out-in of the posterior upper screw occurred or not. In the 2 patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing fixation with 3 cannulated screws in the improved inverted right angle configuration, screw in-out-in was not detected by intraoperative fluoroscopy at the negative anteversion angle or by postoperative CT scan.Conclusions:The fine anatomical morphology of the head, neck, and proximal end of the femur determines that the traditional inverted triangle configuration of cannulated screws in fixation of femoral neck fracture is likely to lead to in-out-in of the posterior upper screw while the improved inverted right angle configuration may effectively reduce the risk of in-out-in of the posterior upper screw. Intraoperative fluoroscopy at the negative anteversion angle can be used to detect timely whether in-out-in of the posterior upper screw occurs or not.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of different dosages of new drugs in the treatment of PsA by using network meta-analysis.Methods:Three medical databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library) were searched for the studies that compared the efficacy and safety of 4 new drugs (secukinumab, ixekizumab, apremilast, tofacitinib) with different dosages in the treatment of PsA. Data from included studies were analyzed by Stata 15.0.Results:A total of 16 RCTs were included. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that: (1) Among the overall patients, in terms of ACR20 response rate, the larger the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA), the more effective it is. Secukinumab 300 mg Q4W(96.1%) had the best efficacy, followed by ixekizumab 80 mg Q4W(79.0%), ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W(75.1%), secukinumab 150 mg Q4W(73.2%), apremilast 30 mg BID(50.6%), apremilast 20 mg BID(38.6%), tofacitinib 5 mg BID(18.1%), tofacitinib 10 mg BID(17.7%) and placebo(2.0%). (2) In terms of PASI75 response rate, the larger the area under the SUCRA curve, the more effective it is. Ixekizumab 80 mg Q4W(96.1%) had the best efficacy, followed by ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W(88.7%), secukinumab 300 mg Q4W(75.6%), secukinumab 150 mg Q4W(63.3%), apremilast 30 mg BID(44.5%), apremilast 20 mg BID(38.4%), tofacitinib 10 mg BID(30.0%), tofacitinib 5 mg BID(12.5%) and placebo(1.0%). (3) Among the overall patients, in terms of safety, the smaller the area under the SUCRA curve, the higher the safety it is. Secukinumab 300 mg Q4W (17.3%) has the best safety. (4) The results of subgroup analysis showed that in terms of ACR20 response rate, ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W(85.3%) had the best efficacy in bDMARDs-na?ve patients, while in bDMARDs-IR patients, secukinumab 300 mg Q4W(83.9%) had the best efficacy.Conclusion:Among all patients, secukinumab 300 mg Q4W is the best in terms of ACR20 response rate and safety, but ixekizumab 80 mg Q4W is more effective in improving PsA lesions comparing yo other drugs.
