A 20-year-old male patient presented to the Department of Dermatology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital with complaints of an 8-year history of facial scarring, swelling of the lower limbs, and a 4-year history of scalp thickening. Physical examination showed thickening furrowing wrinkling of the skin on the face and behind the ears, ciliary body hirsutism, blepharoptosis, and cutis verticis gyrate. Both lower limbs were swollen, especially the knees and ankles. The skin of the palms and soles of the feet was keratinized and thickened. Laboratory examination using bone and joint X-ray showed periostosis of the proximal middle phalanges and metacarpals of both hands, distal ulna and radius, tibia and fibula, distal femurs, and metatarsals.Genetic testing revealed two variants in SLCO2A1, c.1658T > A and c.96+4A > C.Through multidisciplinary consultation, we confirmed the diagnosis of pachydermoperiostosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

ObjectiveTo analyze the protective effect of different types of influenza vaccines (InfV) against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza in the future. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data on the incidence and InfV vaccination of the individuals aged between 3‒17 years during the influenza epidemic season from 2022 to 2023. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was calculated, and a log-binomial regression model was used to calculate the corrected VE. ResultsThe incidence rate of influenza in InfV vaccinated and un-vaccinated groups was 7.32% (1 937/ 26 446) and 9.65% (4 421/45 837), respectively. After adjusting for age and gender factors, the unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 54.57% (52.24%‒56.78%). The unadjusted VE (95%CI) was 53.66% (50.36%‒56.74%) for males and 55.60% (52.24%‒58.72%) for females, respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for the age group of 3‒ years, 6‒ years, 9‒ years, 12‒ years, and 15‒17 years were 64.08% (60.89%‒67.01%), 57.40% (53.71%‒60.80%), 57.77% (52.49%‒62.47%), 24.36% (9.49%‒36.79%), and 24.09% (-17.59%‒51.00%), respectively. The unadjusted VE (95%CI) for quadrivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent split-virion inactivated influenza vaccine, trivalent subunit influenza vaccine, and trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine were 53.84% (51.32%‒56.24%), 62.17% (56.28%‒67.26%), 79.83% (69.94%‒86.46%), and 31.59% (19.07%‒42.18%), respectively. ConclusionThe InfV used during the 2022‒2023 influenza season had a good protective effect against influenza A among the individuals aged between 3‒17 years old, especially in those aged between 3‒11 years old.

This paper summarized three developing conditions and five service modes of mental health social work in Shanghai by reading literature and investigating and interviewing the social work service of mental health medical institutions in Shanghai. Three challenges to mental health social work after COVID -19 were identified: firstly, the reduction of direct services led to a decrease in the number of service beneficiaries, and the effectiveness of services could not be guaranteed; secondly, the application of social work methods was forced to adjust, which challenges the service ability of social workers; thirdly, the expansion or increase of the scope of service objects and the insufficient number of social workers led to difficulties in service response. In view of the above challenges and problems, countermeasures are proposed: ensure the continuity of professional relationship and service effectiveness through flexible and diversified service methods; knit for social work online working ability training, increasing network service experience; the scope of service objects expanding gradually and multi-sectoral cooperation to prevent psychological problems in key groups; set up a volunteer team to serve mental health.

Abstract: In the present study, the compound XL-12 from our previous work was utilized as a lead compound. Through the optimization of the terminal phenyl ring, 12 target compounds were designed and synthesized. The structures of all target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and H RMS. In vitro enzyme activity assay showed that most compounds demonstrated significant inhibitory activity toward Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) and Janus kinase 3 (JAK3). Among them, compound I-3 exhibited moderate cell proliferation inhibitory activity toward Daudi cells and BaF3-JAK3 cells. In the evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity in vitro, compound I-3 could effectively inhibit the production of inflammatory factors IL-6; besides, it exhibited superior anti-inflammatory activity compared to ibrutinib in xylene-induced ear swelling model in mice.

ObjectiveTo analyze the temporal distribution characteristics of crisis calls and eight major counseling issues to the Shanghai mental health hotline, and to provide recommendations for improving hotline management. MethodsDescriptive statistics were used to analyze 1 106 crisis calls and the calls of eight major counseling issues to the Shanghai mental health hotline across months, time periods and weeks from October 2021 to September 2023, and the chi-square test was used to analyze whether there was any difference in the distribution of 1 106 crisis calls and the calls of eight major counseling issues across months, time periods and weeks. ResultsThere were significant differences in the number of crises calls across different months (χ²=87.816, P<0.05), time periods (χ²=161.848, P<0.05), and weekly distributions (χ²=63.329, P<0.05). The highest number of calls occurred in September, while January had the lowest. The peak call times were between 18:00‒20:00, with the fewest calls occurring between 3:00‒5:00. The day of the week with the highest number of calls was Saturday, while Wednesday had the lowest. Among the different types of counselling issues in crisis calls, the highest number of calls were related to mental disorders, while the fewest calls were related to COVID-19. ConclusionCrisis calls to the Shanghai mental health hotline are concentrated at specific times, indicating that relevant organizations should optimize resource allocation based on this time distribution.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics and associated risk factors of diabetes in patients with schizophrenia living in communities, and to provide a basis for the prevention of diabetes comorbidity in this population. MethodsA stratified cluster sampling was used to randomly select patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai who participated in the free health examination provided by the National Basic Public Health Services in 2020. Statistical methods were employed to analyze the general demographic data, clinical characteristics, and laboratory test results of the study subjects. ResultsThe study included 3 374 individuals with schizophrenia, among which the prevalence of diabetes was 17.01%. Statistically significant differences were observed in terms of age, education level, urban area type, marital status, employment status, duration of illness, blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that living in non-central urban areas (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.33‒2.32), disease duration of 6‒ years (OR=2.60, 95%CI: 1.07‒6.32), disease duration of 11‒ years (OR=2.72, 95%CI: 1.17‒6.35), disease duration of 16‒ years (OR=3.38, 95%CI: 1.54‒7.42), hypertension(OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.27‒2.36), obesity (OR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.15‒2.00), and elevated triglyceride levels (OR=2.78, 95%CI: 2.22‒3.49) were risk factors for diabetes in patients with schizophrenia. ConclusionThe prevalence of diabetes in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia is higher than that in the general population. It is recommended that appropriate health education and rehabilitation guidance be provided as part of community-based mental health services.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status of liver function abnormalities in patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) in Shanghai community, to explore the related factors to abnormal liver function in patients with SMD, and to analyze the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on liver function abnormalities. MethodsThe patients with SMD in Jinshan District, Minhang District, Hongkou District and Xuhui District of Shanghai were selected as the research subjects. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted to obtain their demographic characteristics and liver function indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBil). The types of mental disorders and medication status of patients in Jinshan District were also investigated. Abnormalities in liver function were determined by abnormalities in either ALT or TBil. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis of the status of abnormal liver function, and the effects of mental disorder types and medication status on liver function were analyzed, simultaneously. ResultsA total of 7 251 patients with SMD were finally included into this study, and the rate of liver function abnormality was 22.7%, of which 694 cases (9.6%) had ALT abnormality and 1 084 cases (14.9%) had TBil abnormality. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of liver function abnormalities was higher in males than that in females (χ²=45.026, P<0.001), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (χ²=25.317, P<0.001), higher in those with higher BMI than in those with lower BMI (χ²=63.748, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood pressure (BP) than in those without elevated BP (χ²=24.774, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (χ²=43.345, P<0.001), higher in those with abnormal triglyceride (TG) than in those with normal TG (χ²=15.551,P<0.001), and higher in those with abnormal total cholesterol (TC) than in those with normal TC (χ²=10.962, P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of abnormal liver function was higher in males than that in females (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.73), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.21‒1.70), higher in those with overweight than in those with normal BMI (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.33), higher in those with obesity than in those with those with normal BMI (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.91), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.23‒1.58), and higher in those with abnormal TC than in those with normal TC (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.65).The difference in the rate of ALT abnormalities among the SMD patients in Jinshan District with different medication status was statistically significant (χ²=21.928, P<0.001). Whereas, the differences in the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on the status of liver function abnormalities were not statistically significant(P>0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of liver function abnormalities in community-based SMD patients in Shanghai is high, and male, suburban, and accompanied by elevated BMI, BP, blood glucose, and TC are risk factors for liver function abnormalities in patients with SMD. Primary healthcare providers should pay more attention to the liver function of patients with SMD and initiate targeted and tailored prevention, detection and treatment measures.

Objective:To sort out medical device related policies in Anhui Province,to analyze the distribution of content in each policy text to provide reference for policy optimization in the later stage.Methods:The official websites of the People's Government of Anhui Province and the Anhui Provincial Drug Administration were searched by using the keywords of"medical devices","medical device enterprises",and"medical consumables"to search for medical device related policy documents released from January 2011 to December 2022.The 21 medical device-related policy documents retrieved shall be coded using the content analysis method in the sequence of"policy code-chapter number-unit number-sentence number".A two-dimensional analytical framework of"Basic Policy Instruments-Involved Subjects"was constructed to quantitatively analyze the medical device policy text from the two dimensions of policy instruments-involved subjects.Results:A total of 338 items were codes,including 107 supply-based policy tools(accounting for 31.66%),40 demand-based policy tools(accounting for 11.83%),and 191 environmental policy tools(accounting for 56.51%).The 338 codes involved entities including 202 government departments(accounting for 59.76%),62 operating enterprises(accounting for 18.34%),59 production enterprises(accounting for 17.46%),9 medical institutions(accounting for 2.66%),and 6 industry associations(accounting for 1.78%).Conclusion:The medical device policy in Anhui Province is mainly based on environmental policy tools,and demand-based policy tools are rarely used.The rationality of the distribution of internal items and participating entities in policy tools needs to be improved.There are certain differences in the interaction between each entity and policy tools.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the balance of policy tool use,increase the participation of multiple entities,and optimize the synergy between entities and policy tools.
