Background Indoor air quality directly affects people's health, especially the impact of chemical pollutants in residential indoor air on children and the elderly is more significant. Objective To understand the pollution status of common chemical pollutants in residential indoor air in Shijiazhuang, evaluate the health risks of chemical pollutants to school-age children and the elderly, and provide reference for controlling indoor pollution in residential environment. Methods Using stratified random sampling, a total of 60 households were selected from 2 urban areas and 1 surrounding rural area in Shijiazhuang City, specifically in July 2023 (non-heating season) and December 2023 (heating season), respectively. Relevant data was collected through on-site sampling [including CO, CO₂, PM₁₀, PM_2.5, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene] and survey questionnaires. The pollutant concentrations were evaluated following the Standards for indoor air quality of GB/T 18883-2022, and the inhalation exposure risks of the target population were assessed based on the health risk assessment method. Results In the indoor air of the urban and rural residence in Shijiazhuang City, except for CO, NO₂, SO₂, toluene, and xylene, which did not exceed the standard limits, other pollutants showed varying degrees of exceedance. The non-qualified rates of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, and CO₂ in the urban areas were higher than those in the rural areas (P < 0.05). The seasonal difference analysis showed that the non-qualified rates of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, CO₂, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene in the urban areas were higher in the heating season than in the non-heating season (P<0.05); the non-qualified rates of ammonia and formaldehyde in the rural areas increased significantly in the non-heating season(P<0.05). The health risk assessment indicated that the maximum hazard quotient (HQ) of tetrachloroethylene for the elderly exceeded 1, while the HQ values for ammonia, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, and trichloroethylene remained below 1 for either children or the elderly. For carcinogenic risks, the median carcinogenic risk (CR) of formaldehyde for school-aged children or the elderly fell within the range of 10⁻⁶-10⁻⁴, whereas the median CR values for benzene, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene were all below 10⁻⁶. Conclusion The primary indoor air pollutants exceeding the national standard limits in residential areas of Shijiazhuang City include CO₂, PM₁₀, TVOC, PM_2.5, formaldehyde, ammonia, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene. The levels of these pollutants exhibit significant urban-rural and seasonal variations. Special attention should be paid to the non-carcinogenic risk of tetrachloroethylene to the elderly and the carcinogenic risks of formaldehyde to school-age children and the elderly.

Objective To identify the current research hotspots of global health training, and construct a global health talent training evaluation index system. Methods Publications pertaining to global health talent training evaluation were retrieved in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Web of Science Core Collection from 2003 to 2022, and keywords were extracted from eligible publications for co-occurrence and cluster analyses using the CiteSpace software. Based on keywords clustering results, a global health talent training evaluation index system was constructed using a context, input, process, and product (CIPP) evaluation model as a theoretical framework. Results A total of 692 Chinese publications and 1 264 English publications were included. Keyword co-occurrence and cluster analyses yielded 10 Chinese and 10 English keyword clusters, and the 10 Chinese keyword clusters included analytic hierarchy process, health diplomacy, personnel structure, crossdiscipline, educational assessment, global health discipline development, training needs, curriculum program, quality evaluation and logistics support, while the English keyword clusters included evidence-based practice, capacity building, global health, quality of life, machine learning, leadership, sub-Saharan Africa, health equity, global health security and global health diplomacy. Based on keyword clustering, a global health talent training evaluation index system was constructed with CIPP as the theoretical framework, which contained 4 primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators and 59 tertiary indicators, and the primary indicators included 4 dimensions of context evaluation, input evaluation, process evaluation and product evaluation. Conclusions A global health talent training evaluation index system has been constructed, which provides an effective evaluation tool and quantitative evidence for future global health talent training.

Objective To find out the social competence level of school-age children with speech sound disorders after cleft palate operation and functional speech sound disorders.Methods Thirty-four school-age children with postoperative cleft palate speech sound disorders and thirty-seven school-age children with functional speech sound disorders attending a specialty clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood speech and language disorders in 2023 were selected,and 32 age-and gender-matched normal children in a local elementary school were also randomly selected as the normal group.The Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist was used to assess the so-cial competence of the three groups of children and a cross-sectional study was conducted.Results Children with cleft palate speech sound disorders and functional speech sound disorders had lower scores on activity,communication and academic ability,with specific manifestations varying in different gender groups,but there was no significant difference in scores between the two groups.In contrast,the activity and communication scores of the functional speech sound disordergroup were significantly lower than those of the normal group(P＜0.05).Conclusion School-age children with cleft palate speech sound disorders and functional speech sound disorders are at a higher risk of difficulties in social functioning,in terms of activity,communication and academic ability,whereas speech sound disorders may be one of the most important influencing factors of such difficulties and cleft palate does not have an additional impact on the social competence level of the child.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor among women worldwide,with incidence rates rising annually.The treatment of breast cancer has undergone significant transformations,evolving from an initial reliance on a single surgical approach to the incorporation of systemic therapy,and more recently,to subtype-specific therapy.Clinically,breast cancer is classified into luminal,HER2-positive,and triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)based on the expression of hormone receptor(HR)and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2),with corresponding treatments including endocrine therapy,anti-HER2 targeted therapy,and chemotherapy.However,the current subtype-based treatment strategies lack personalization,with approximately 30%of patients still facing resistance and relapse.While the overall survival rate of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer has been steadily increasing,significant survival improvements have not been observed in patients with triple-negative and luminal breast cancer.To overcome the clinical bottleneck of"incomplete classification and imprecise treatment",the concept of"subtype-precise"therapy has emerged.This innovative approach involves further subclassification of existing subtypes to identify specific targets for precision treatment,characterized by broad population coverage and high specificity.Over the past decade,the multidisciplinary team at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center has established a comprehensive molecular portrait of Chinese Breast Cancer Genome Atlas(CBCGA).They deeply analyzed the molecular characteristics of TNBC,leading to the development of a"Fudan subtype"closely related to clinical outcomes:luminal androgen receptor subtype(LAR),which can be targeted with anti-HER2 and CDK4/6 inhibitors;the immunomodulatory subtype(IM),suitable for immunotherapy;basal-like immune-suppressed subtype(BLIS),which can be treated with platinum-based drugs or poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP)inhibitors;and mesenchymal-like subtype(MES),which can be treated with anti-cancer stem cell and anti-angiogenic therapies.The team then extended the concept of"subtype-precise"to luminal breast cancer,the subtype with the largest number,the highest proportion and the risk of recurrence for decades.They divided it into four molecular subtypes and proposing corresponding precision treatment strategies:canonical luminal subtype(SNF1),sensitive to endocrine therapy;immunogenic subtype(SNF2),amenable to immunotherapy;proliferative subtype(SNF3),treatable by CDK4/6 inhibitors;and receptor tyrosine kinase-driven subtype(SNF4),targetable with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.The team is currently conducting phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trials to further validate the"subtype-precise"therapy and promote the"subtype-precise"Fudan experience to enhance overall breast cancer treatment efficacy.Looking forward,the integration of emerging diagnostic tools,such as artificial intelligence,coupled with the continuous update of subtype-specific targets and targeted therapies,is expected to further refine and expand"subtype-precise"therapy.This approach holds great promises for enhancing patient prognosis and leading a new revolution in breast cancer treatment.

Background::Breast cancer is ranked among the most prevalent malignancies in the Chinese female population. However, comprehensive reports detailing the latest epidemiological data and attributable disease burden have not been extensively documented.Methods::In 2018, high-quality cancer surveillance data were recorded in 700 population-based cancer registries in China. We extracted data on female breast cancers (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision [ICD-10]: C50) and estimated the incidence and mortality in 2022 according to the baseline data and corresponding trends from 2010 to 2018. Pathological types were classified according to the ICD for Oncology, 3rd Edition codes. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were calculated as the sum of the years of life lost (YLLs) and years lived with disability (YLDs).Results::In 2022, approximately 357,200 new female breast cancer cases and 75,000 deaths occurred in China, accounting for 15.59% and 7.94% of total new cancer cases and deaths, respectively. The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) was 33.04 per 100,000. When analyzed by pathological type, the ASIRs for papillary neoplasms, invasive breast carcinoma, rare and salivary gland-type tumors, and other types were 1.13, 29.79, 0.24, and 1.88 per 100,000, respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) was 6.10 per 100,000. A total of 2,628,000 DALYs were found to be attributable to female breast cancer in China, comprising 2,278,300 YLLs and 349,700 YLDs. The ASIR, ASMR, and age-standardized rate (ASR) for DALYs in urban areas were consistently higher than those in rural areas. We observed a four-fold increase in the ASIR and ASR for DALYs and an eight-fold increase in the ASMR among females over 55 years compared with those aged under 55 years.Conclusion::These data provide invaluable insights into the latest epidemiology of female breast cancer in China and highlight the urgency for disease prevention and control strategy formulation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment of scaphoid fracture nonunion with bone graft and Kirschner wire combined with screw fixation. METHODS: The clinical data of 14 patients with scaphoid fracture nonunion who met the selection criteria between February 2021 and September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 1 female with an average age of 32 years ranging from 17 to 54 years. The time from injury to operation ranged from 6 to 15 months, with an average of 9.6 months. According to the Slade-Geissler classification of scaphoid fracture nonunion, there were 3 cases of grade Ⅲ, 8 cases of grade Ⅳ, and 3 cases of grade Ⅴ. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 5.9±1.0, and the modified Mayo wrist score was 53.2±9.1. There were 2 cases of scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse, both of which were stage Ⅰ. All patients were treated with arthroscopic bone graft and Kirschner wire combined with screw fixation, and the fracture healing was observed by X-ray film monthly after operation, and the effectiveness was evaluated by VAS score and modified Mayo wrist score before and after operation. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 6-14 months, with an average of 8.4 months. All fractures healed in 4-8 months, with an average of 6.3 months. The postoperative pain symptoms and wrist function of the patients significantly improved when compared with those before operation, and the VAS score at last follow-up was 2.4±1.3, and the modified Mayo wrist score was 87.1±6.7, which were significantly different from those before operation ( t=12.851, P<0.001; t=-14.410, P<0.001). According to the modified Mayo wrist evaluation, 9 cases were excellent, 3 cases were good, and 2 cases were fair. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic bone graft and Kirschner wire combined with screw fixation is an effective surgical method for the treatment of scaphoid fracture nonunion.

Objective:To explore the change trajectory and influencing factors of benefit finding of family caregivers of patients with lung cancer, so as to provide reference for formulating individualized intervention strategies.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From September 2021 to October 2022, 232 family caregivers of patients with lung cancer from General Hospital of PLA Central Theater Command and Tianyou Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology were collected by convenience sampling method. The level of benefit finding of family caregivers was investigated at 1 month, 3 months and 6 month, after the patients were diagnosed. Growth Mixture Model was applied to identify distinct trajectory categories. Multinomial Logistic regressions were performed to analyze predictors of trajectory categories.Results:The overall level of benefit finding of family caregivers of lung cancer patients showed an upward trend over time ( F=83.06, P<0.01), from 1 month (47.02 ± 14.79) to 6 months (58.13 ± 13.18). Three categories of benefit finding trajectories were identified, named as "the high level-decline group" 12 cases, "the moderate level-stability group" 67 cases, and "the low level-elevation group" 153 cases. Univariate analysis showed that age and education level of family caregivers, average income per person in patient family, type of medical payment, whether the tumor was metastasized, the treatment method of the patient, whether they lived with the patient, and whether they had co-caregivers were related to the category of benefit finding trajectory ( χ2 values were 6.71-15.05, all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age and education level of family caregivers, average income per person in patient family, treatment method of the patient and whether they lived with the patients were the main influencing factors of benefit finding trajectory categories(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The benefit finding of family caregivers of lung cancer patients showed different trajectories with the time of diagnosis, and the overall level shows an upward trend. More than half of the family caregivers belong to the low level-elevation group. Medical staff should give family caregivers stage and specific nursing intervention according to the change trajectory of benefit finding and its influencing factors.

Objective:To explore the effects of prenatal dexamethasone (DEX), postnatal pulmonary surfactant (PS) and respiratory support on the lung fluid clearance in premature rabbits at gestational age (GA) of 25-28 d (full term: 31 d) and their relationship with dynamic compliance of respiratory system (Cdyn), pulmonary morphology and other parameters.Methods:In our previous publications, premature rabbits were divided into four groups according to the intervention strategy: control group, PS-only group, DEX-only group and DEX+PS group in which data of several parameters including wet-to-dry lung weight ratio (W/D), Cdyn and volume density of alveoli (Vv) were retrieved and the lung tissue sections were scanned to recalculate the ratio of perivascular sheath to vascular sectional area (S/V) and lung injury scores-edema (LIS-E). W/D, LIS-E, S/V and Vv were adjusted for birth weight (BW) (divided by BW, represented as W/D/BW, LIS-E/BW, S/V/BW and Vv/BW) and mean Cdyn (Cdyn-m) was adopted. Based on the grouping of previous studies, the intervention groups in this study were divided as DEX group and non-DEX group, and PS group and non-PS group to analyze the influence of DEX and PS on the above parameters. Two independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, LSD test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 196 newborn rabbits receiving mechanical ventilation after birth were included in this study. (1) Effects of DEX: compared with the non-DEX group, the DEX group showed increased W/D/BW (489±69 vs 421±113, t=－2.09), LIS-E/BW (188±57 vs 138±55, t=－2.61) and Vv/BW (20.1±4.9 vs 14.2±4.7, t=－3.60), but decreased S/V (0.33±0.23 vs 0.51±0.25, t=2.23) and S/V/W/D (0.05±0.03 vs 0.07±0.04, t=2.22) at 25 d of gestation; at 26 d of gestation, W/D/BW (472±76 vs 303±44, t=－8.75), LIS-E/BW (189±63 vs 106±36, t=－5.23), Cdyn-m [(0.16±0.07) vs (0.05±0.03) ml/(kg?cmH 2O), 1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa; t=－7.29] and Vv/BW increased (22.4±5.0 vs 12.2±3.8, t=－7.46), while S/V (0.23±0.19 vs 0.62±0.38, t=4.10), S/V/BW (15.7±12.4 vs 25.7±17.3, t=2.20), S/V/W/D (0.03±0.03 vs 0.08±0.05, t=3.92) and propensity scores decreased [(12.5±1.2) vs (15.1±1.2) scores, t=7.00]; at 27 d of gestation, Cdyn-m increased [(0.23±0.12) vs (0.16±0.07) ml/(kg?cmH 2O), t=－2.43], but S/V (0.32±0.23 vs 0.57±0.39, t=2.57) and S/V/W/D decreased (0.05±0.04 vs 0.09±0.06, t=2.55); at 28 d of gestation, W/D/BW (270±64 vs 162±33, t=－8.09), LIS-E/BW (72±32 vs 35±20, t=－5.17), S/V (0.90±0.60 vs 0.59±0.48, t=－2.81), S/V/BW (34.0±23.6 vs 15.2±12.7, t=－3.77) and Vv/BW increased (16.9±4.3 vs 9.2±2.9, t=－8.04); the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). (2) Effects of PS: compared with the non-PS group, the PS group had decreased LIS-E/BW at 25, 26 and 27 d of gestation, increased Cdyn-m and Vv/BW at 25 and 27 d of gestation and higher propensity scores at 25 d of gestation (all P<0.05). (3) The correlation between gestational age and each index: gestational age was positively correlated with S/V ( r=0.31, P<0.05), but negatively correlated with W/D/BW and LIS-E/BW ( r=－0.73 and－0.63, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The pharmacological action of prenatal DEX on lung fluid clearance is mainly confined to preterm rabbits at the GA of 28 d which is supported by mechanical ventilation. Prenatal treatment with DEX and/or postnatal PS can improve the early respiratory function in preterm rabbits between GA of 25-27 d, but had no substantial impact on lung fluid clearance. The GA-related lung maturation appears to play a crucial role, in comparison with medications, in lung fluid clearance.

Objective:Partial stereotactic ablative boost radiotherapy(P-SABR)is a method to deliver SABR boost to the gross tumor boost volume(GTVb), followed by conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to the whole tumor area(GTV). GTVb is the max volume receiving SABR while ensuring the critical organ-at-risk(OAR)falloff to 3 GyE/f. We investigated the potential advantage of proton therapy in treating bulky non-small cell lung cancer(the tumor length greater than 8 cm).Methods:Nine patients with bulky NSCLC treated with photon P-SABR in our institute were selected. For the treatment planning of proton therapy, the GTVb target area was gradually outwardly expanded based on the photon GTVb target area until the dose to critical OARs reached 3 GyE/f. The GTV and CTV areas remained the same as photon plan. A proton intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(proton-IMPT), a photon intensity-modulated radiation treatment plan(photon-IMRT)and a photon volumetric modulated arc therapy(photon-VMAT)were created for each patient, respectively. The dosimetric parameters of different treatment plans were compared.Results:The volume ratio of GTVb-photon and GTVb-proton to GTV was(25.4±13.4)% and(69.7±30.0)%,respectively( P<0.001). In photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT, and proton-IMPT plan groups, the mean dose of CTV was(76.1±4.9)Gy, (78.2±3.6)Gy, and(84.7±4.9)Gy, respectively; the ratio of tumor volume with Biologic Effective Dose(BED)≥ 90 Gy to GTV volume was(70.7±21.7)%, (76.8±22.1)%,and(97.9±4.0)%,respectively. The actual dose and BED to the tumor area of the proton-IMPT plan group were significantly higher than those of the photon plan group(both P<0.05). Besides, the OARs dose was significantly decreased in the proton-IMPT group, with(49.2±22.0)%, (56.8±19.0)% and(16.1±6.3)% of the whole lung V5 for photon-IMRT, photon-VMAT and proton-IMPT, respectively(all P<0.001). Conclusions:Larger GTV boost target volume, higher BED and reduced OARs dose can be achieved in proton plans compared with photon plans. Proton P-SABR is expected to further improve the local control rate of bulky NSCLC with fewer adverse effects.

ObjectiveTo establish the frozen section method of Ferula ferulaeoides， and to study the histochemical localization of volatile oil and coumarins in different organs of F. ferulaeoides. MethodThe roots， stems， petioles and leaves of F. ferulaeoides were used as materials to investigate the concentration of sucrose protectant， liquid nitrogen flash-freezing time， embedding conditions， section thickness， freezing temperature and time and post-treatment methods， the most suitable section conditions were screened by comparing the integrity， microscopic effect， elongation and clarity of frozen sections. Sudan Ⅳ staining method and fluorescence microscopy were used to locate the volatile oil and coumarins of F. ferulaeoides. ResultThe optimal conditions for frozen sections of the roots， stems， petioles and leaves of F. ferulaeoides were as follows：10%， 15% and 20% gradient sucrose as the protectant for roots， 10%， 20% and 30% gradient sucrose as the protectant for stems and petioles， 20%， 25% and 30% gradient sucrose as the protectant for leaves， glue-water （2∶1） as the embedding agent， quick-freeze in liquid nitrogen for 20 s， warmed up at -25 ℃ for 30 min， sliced at -20 ℃ with the thickness of 25 μm， rinsed with the same concentration of sucrose solution （gradient sucrose solution selected the last concentration）， and the slices placed on the ice pack for a period of time and stored at room temperature. Among them， the concentration of sucrose protectant was the most important factor. The results of histochemical localization showed that volatile oil and coumarins in four organs of F. ferulaeoides were mainly distributed in resin canal. ConclusionFrozen section of F. ferulaeoides is established for the first time with high rate of slicing and simplified steps， its volatile oil and coumarins are mainly accumulated in resin canal.
