Objective To analyze the urban drinking water quality and its influencing factors in Anhui Province from 2014 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for water quality improvement and protection. Methods The data were collected, saved and monitored according to the Standard Test Method for Drinking Water (GB/T5750-2006) and evaluated according to the Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water (GB 5749-2006). Results A total of 20 941 samples were collected, and the overall qualified rate was 84.26%. The qualified rate of urban drinking water increased from 76.9% in 2014 to 93.3% in 2022, and the qualified rate of water quality was on the rise (χ²=544.43, P＜0.01). From 2014 to 2022, the qualified rate of water quality in dry season was higher than that in wet season (χ²=35.98, P<0.001), the qualified rate of surface water was higher than that of ground water (χ²=4440.8, P<0.001), and the qualified rate of peripheral tap water was higher than that of factory water (χ²=145.1, P<0.001). Among all kinds of disinfection methods, chlorination disinfection had the highest qualified rate (χ²=1483.8, P<0.001). The qualified rate of water quality increased with the increase of the scale of water plant. Among the inspected indicators, the main unqualified indicators were chlorine dioxide (7.72%), fluoride (7.41%), free residual chlorine (3.90%), and total bacterial count (2.13%). Conclusion The passing rate of urban drinking water quality in Anhui Province is on an upward trend, and the quality of urban drinking water has improved. However, it is still important to pay attention to the problem of excessive microorganism and fluoride in water, and the quality of drinking water varies from place to place.

Lung transplantation is an effective treatment for various end-stage lung diseases. Optimizing perioperative fluid management can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary edema and improve the prognosis of lung transplant recipients. Excessive fluid administration may lead to pulmonary edema, ischemia-reperfusion injury of the transplant lung, and increased cardiac burden, which can induce heart failure. On the other hand, overly strict fluid restriction may lead to hypovolemia, affecting tissue perfusion and causing organ dysfunction. Therefore, precise regulation of fluid balance is crucial for the postoperative recovery of lung transplant recipients. This article reviews the physiological characteristics of lung transplant recipients, types of infused fluids, fluid therapy regimens, and hemodynamic monitoring, aiming to elucidate the particularities of perioperative fluid management in lung transplantation and provide new ideas and directions for individualized fluid management.

Objective:To compare the trueness of incisal guidance of implant-supported single crowns designed by patient-specific motion(PSM)with that designed by average-value virtual articulator(AVA).Methods:The study had recruited 12 participants with complete dentition and stable incisal guidance.An intraoral scanner was used to scan digital casts and record two types of patient-specific mo-tion(data only including protrusive movement,and data including protrusive movement and lateral pro-trusive movement).The lingual surfaces of the maxillary incisors which guided the protrusive movement was selected and elevated to create a reference cast.A maxillary central incisor of original casts was vir-tually extracted and implanted to generate a working cast.The Dental system software program was used to design implant-supported single crowns with the anatomical coping design method.The incisal guidance was designed by different methods.The incisal guidance in control group was designed by the average-value virtual articulator.The incisal guidance in experiment groups was designed by the patient-specific motion only including protrusive movement(PSM1)and with the patient-specific motion including protru-sive movement and lateral protrusive movement(PSM2).The incisal guidance of prosthesis designed by these 3 methods were compared with the original incisal guidance in Geomagic Control 2015(3DSystem,America).The measurements included:Average of positive values,ratio of positive area and maximum value reflecting supra-occlusion;average of negative values,ratio of negative area and minimum value re-flecting over-correction;and root mean square reflecting overall deviation.Results:Statistical data were collected using the median(interquartile range)method.The average of positive values,ratio of positive area and average of negative values of the PSM2 group were smaller than those of the control group[8.0(18.8)μm vs.37.5(47.5)μm;0vs.7.2％(38.1％);-109.0(63.8)μm vs.-66.5(64.5)μm],and the ratio of negative area of PSM2 group was larger than those of the control group[52.9％(47.8％)vs.17.3％(45.3％)],with significant differences(P all＜0.05).The ratio of positive area[0.1％(7.0％)]and average of negative values[-97.0(61.5)μm]of PSM1 group,were smaller than those of the control group,and the ratio of negative area[40.7％(39.2％)]of the PSM1 group was larger than that of the control group,with significant differences(P＜0.05).The average of positive values[20.0(42.0)μm]and ratio of positive area of PSM1 group was larger than that of the PSM2 group with significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion:To establish the incisor guidance of implant-supported single crowns,compared with the average-value virtual articulator and the patient-specific motion only including protrusive movement,the patient-specific motion including protrusive movement and lateral protrusive movement is more conducive to reducing the protrusive interference of prosthesis and improving the occlusal fit.

To summarize the experience of Professor WANG Qingguo in diagnosing and treating wind-cold-dampness arthralgia based on the principle that "the nutrient-defense qi does not merge with wind-cold-dampness qi， so it did not result to arthralgia". By analyzing the relationship between nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness arthralgia， it is believed that the occurrence of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia is closely related to the movement of nutrient qi and defense qi， and the key to the treatment of this disease is to regulate nutrient qi and defense qi and remove the combination of nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi. The core pathogenesis of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia in the early stage is the initial combination of nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi， and the treatment should harmonize nutrient-defense qi and eliminate the pathogen and release pathogenesis， with Chaihu Guizhi Decoction （柴胡桂枝汤） as the main prescription； the core pathogenesis of the middle stage is nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi cemented together， and the treatment should harmonize and tonify nutrient qi and defense qi and separate the pathogen to alleviate disease， with self-prescribed Chuanteng Tongbi Decoction （穿藤通痹汤） as the main prescription； the core pathogenesis of the late stage is deficiency and stagnation of nutrient-defense qi， wind-cold-dampness qi still exist， and the treatment should tonify and free nutrient qi and defense qi to eliminate pathogen and arthralgia， with self-prescribed Chuanqing Haijia Decoction （穿青海甲汤） plus Duhuo Jisheng Decoction （独活寄生汤） as the main prescription.

Objective:To comprehensively understand the disease burden of liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases caused by alcohol use in China from 1990 to 2019, as well as to predict the trends in disease burden from 2020 to 2030.Methods:The analysis utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease study in 2019 (GBD2019). Key indicators such as incidence rate, mortality rate, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), years of life lost due to premature mortality, and years lived with disability were selected to describe the disease burden of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases in China from 1990 to 2019. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to depict the temporal trends in disease burden. Furthermore, a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was constructed using R software to predict the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases in China from 2020 to 2030.Results:From 1990 to 2019, the incidence of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases in China showed an upward trend, with an EAPC of 0.31% (95% CI: 0.10%-0.52%). However, the DALY declined, with an EAPC of -2.81% (95% CI: -2.92% - -2.70%). The ASMR showed a downward trend, with an EAPC of -2.55% (95% CI: -2.66% - -2.45%). The highest incidence of cirrhosis of liver caused by alcohol and other chronic liver diseases was reported in the age group of 35-49 years, while the ASMR increased gradually with age, with a significant rise after the age of 30. The age-standardized DALY rate peaked between the ages of 55 and 64. The disease burden indicators for males were consistently higher than those for females during the same period. According to the predictions of the BAPC model, from 2020 to 2030, the ASIR for cirrhosis of liver caused by alcohol and other chronic liver diseases in the entire population of China was projected to increase from 3.45/100 000 in 2020 to 3.78/100 000 in 2030, a growth of 9.57%. Conversely, the ASMR was expected to decrease from 1.45/100 000 in 2020 to 1.24/100 000 in 2030, a reduction of 14.48%. Conclusions:The disease burden of cirrhosis of liver caused by alcohol and other chronic liver diseases remained serious in China, especially in men and the middle-aged to elderly population. There is a pressing need to prioritize attention and resources towards these groups. Despite the projected decrease in ASMR, the ASIR continued to rise and is expected to persist in its upward trend until 2030.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between moderate intensity aerobic exercise and cerebral blood flow regulation in patients with mild carotid artery stenosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 30 cases of patients with unilateral mild carotid artery stenosis and moderate intensity aerobic exercise for more than 1 year in the Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology from July 2022 to November 2023 as the exercise group (study group), and 30 cases of patients with unilateral mild carotid artery stenosis without exercise habits matched by age, gender and other factors as the non-exercise group (control group). Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) examination was performed in both groups, and the recumbent-upright-test, breath holding test and breath exchange test were performed to calculate the occurrence rate of "w" wave in recumbent-upright position, the slope of "w" wave in recubitus position, the change rate of pulse index (PI) before and after breath holding, resistance index (RI), breath holding index (BHI), and cerebral blood flow velocity before and after breath exchange. The blood pressure and heart rate difference in the recumbent-upright position were calculated, and the correlation between moderate intensity aerobic exercise and cerebral blood flow regulation function in patients with mild carotid artery stenosis was evaluated by statistical analysis. The correlation analysis between the exercise years and BHI in the study group was carried out to explore the relationship between the exercise years and cerebrovascular reactivity.Results:The occurrence rate and slope of "w" wave in the study group were higher than those in the control group: 93.3%(28/30) vs. 86.7%(26/30), 2.27 ± 1.14 vs. 1.28 ± 0.23, 2.67 ± 0.63 vs. 1.41 ± 0.69, there were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The change rates of PI and RI before and after breath holding and ventilation in the study group were higher than those in the control group: 21.23 ± 7.67 vs. 13.89 ± 9.67, 14.62 ± 6.63 vs. 11.17 ± 1.78 and 26.26 ± 12.46 vs. 18.36 ± 12.13, 14.91 ± 4.91 vs. 10.83 ± 2.35, and the average cerebral blood flow velocity before and after ventilation was higher than that in the control group: (31.26 ± 4.92) cm/s vs. (24.89 ± 6.34) cm/s, there were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The exercise years of the study group was negatively correlated with the breath holding index. Conclusions:Moderate intensity exercise is associated with cerebral blood flow regulation in patients with mild carotid artery stenosis. Exercise years are negatively correlated with cerebral blood flow regulation. Impaired cerebral blood flow regulation may be one of the potential mechanisms of poor prognosis of stroke in carotid artery stenosis population.

Objective To explore the mechanism of glycoprotein,granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF)targeted inhibitor combined with interleukin(IL)-23 targeted inhibitor in alleviating spinal fibrosis in mice with ankylosing spondylitis(AS).Methods Six healthy subjects(HC group)and six AS patients(AS group)were recruited,and their peripheral venous blood were collected,the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF were detected.AS mice model were established.A total of 30 mice were randomly divided into the Control group,the Model group,the IL-17A Inh group(positive control group),the IL-23 Inh group,and the GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh group,with 6 mice in each group.The levels of TNF-α,IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF in serum of mice were detected by ELISA.Western blot was used to detect the levels of epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)markers E-cadherin,N-cadherin,snail and Vimentin in muscle/ligament tissues around spine,as well as the levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(RANKL),osteoprotegerin(OPG)and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)in spinal bone tissues.Micro-CT was used to measure the volume of new bone and the mature bone in the left hind paw and spine(L5～6 vertebrae)of mice.Results Compared with the HC group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF in serum of patients in the AS group were increased(P<0.05).Compared with the Control group,the levels of TNF-α,IL-23,IL-17 and GM-CSF in serum of mice in the Model group were increased(P<0.05),the relative expression level of E-cadherin was down-regulated(P<0.05),while the relative expression levels of N-cadherin,snail and Vimentin in muscle/ligament tissues around spine were up-regulated(P<0.05),the relative expression level of RANKL in spinal bone tissues was up-regulated(P<0.05),and the volume of new bone in the left hind paw and L5～6 vertebrae of mice increased(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,the levels of the above indexes in the GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh group were reversed(P<0.05),while there was no significant difference in the above indexes in the IL-23 Inh group(P>0.05).Compared with the Control group,the relative expression levels of OPG and ALP in spinal bone tissues of mice in the Model group were up-regulated(P<0.05).Compared with the Model group,there was no significant difference in the above indexes in the GM-CSF Inh+IL-23 Inh group(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of GM-CSF targeted inhibitor and IL-23 targeted inhibitor can reduce the inflammation level,alleviate the fibrosis of muscle and ligament tissues around spine,inhibit the expression of RANKL in the spinal bone tissues,reduce new bone formation and pathological bone remodeling,and protect the activity of the spine.

Objective:To systematically review the predictive model for de novo stress urinary incontinence (de novo SUI) after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery, with the aim of providing reference for preventing the occurrence of de novo SUI.Methods:Literature on the prediction model of de novo SUI after POP surgery was electronically retrieved in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, and VIP. The search period was from the establishment of the database to December 31, 2023, and the language was limited to Chinese and English. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and used the prediction model risk of bias assessment tool (PROBAST) to evaluate the quality of the models.Results:A total of 13 articles were included, including 13 de novo SUI risk prediction models. One literature was a prospective study, one literature was a secondary analysis of data, and the rest were retrospective studies. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve in nine models ranged from 0.595 to 0.842, and the C-index of three models ranged from 0.710 to 0.738. Five models were not validated or only internally validated after construction. Six models were validated in one external population. The predictive performance of one model was validated in six external populations. The overall applicability of the 13 prediction models was good, but there was a certain risk of bias in all of them. Conclusions:There is a significant difference in the predictive performance of the de novo SUI risk prediction model after POP surgery, and the number is relatively small, indicating that it is still in the development stage. Future research should continuously optimize existing models and conduct external validation, and construct predictive models suitable for postoperative de novo SUI in POP patients in China.

Objective To describe the diagnosis,treatment,and clinical course of a patient with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning(AOPP)complicated by recurrent respiratory failure,intermediate syndrome(IMS),multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)and sepsis.Methods On May 8,2021,a patient who self-administered the pesticide Dimethoate AOPP was admitted to the department of internal medicine intensive care unit(MICU)of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province.After 29 days of treatment,the patient was successfully cured and discharged.The clinical diagnosis and treatment process was introduced.Results The 78-year-old male patient suffered from severe AOPP due to self-ingestion of the pesticide leptophos.Upon admission,he rapidly developed respiratory failure requiring urgent endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation support.A series of targeted treatments were administered,including the use of reactivators such as pralidoxime iodide,anticholinergic agents like atropine and scopolamine,as well as antibiotic therapy and management of water-electrolyte balance and acid-base equilibrium.Throughout his treatment,the patient experienced multiple complications,including episodes of sepsis,fluctuating cholinesterase levels,infections from multidrug-resistant bacteria,and recurrent respiratory failures.After 29 days of meticulous care,the patient was successfully weaned off the ventilator,regained normal organ function,and was discharged.Conclusion The analysis of this case highlights the importance of closely monitoring and managing drug dosage adjustments,preventing and treating infections,addressing septic shock,paying attention to the prevention and control of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),conducting timely psychological evaluations,and providing interventions during the treatment process for AOPP.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
