Objective:To understand the health status,influencing factors and spatial distribution of the Chinese floating population and to evaluate the health equity of the floating population.Methods:All the data were collected from the 2017 Migrant Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey in China,binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors that might affect the health of the floating population,and the concentration index method was used to evaluate the health equity of the floating population.Spa-tial autocorrelation analyses the spatial aggregation of health status and health equity.Results:The un-healthy rate of the floating population in China was 2.71%.Age and gender show a statistically signifi-cant impact on self-rated health;that is,as age increases,the self-rated health of the migrant population gradually deteriorates,and women are more likely to think that they are unhealthy.Fairness analysis shows that the concentration index of the floating population is 0.021 7,the urban household registration floating population is 0.021 6,and the rural household registration floating population is 0.021 9.It is shown that the fairness of the health status of the floating population is biased towards the high-income class,and the rural household registration floating population's health unfairness is greater than that of the urban household registration migration population.Moreover,Moran's i=0.211 for self-rated health and Moran's i=0.291 for the unhealthy rate indicate that self-rated health has a spatial aggregation trend.Moran's i=0.136 showed the characteristics of spatial clustering,and the two-week prevalence fairness of the floating population was mainly in the northern and southeastern coastal areas.Conclusion:In general,the health status of the floating population in China is relatively good.The main influencing factors of health included gender and age.The central tendency of health inequity is reflected in the south-east coastal and northern regions,which are characterized by poverty.Attention to spatial aggregation is not only helpful to analyze the reasons of floating population,but also to study the health differences between different regions and health-related factors,to improve the overall health level of the whole population.

Background::Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has potential risks for both clinically worsening pulmonary hypertension (PH) and increasing mortality. However, the data regarding the protective role of vaccination in this population are still lacking. This study aimed to assess the safety of approved vaccination for patients with PH.Methods::In this national prospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with PH (World Health Organization [WHO] groups 1 and 4) were enrolled from October 2021 to April 2022. The primary outcome was the composite of PH-related major adverse events. We used an inverse probability weighting (IPW) approach to control for possible confounding factors in the baseline characteristics of patients.Results::In total, 706 patients with PH participated in this study (mean age, 40.3 years; mean duration after diagnosis of PH, 8.2 years). All patients received standardized treatment for PH in accordance with guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of PH in China. Among them, 278 patients did not receive vaccination, whereas 428 patients completed the vaccination series. None of the participants were infected with COVID-19 during our study period. Overall, 398 patients received inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, whereas 30 received recombinant protein subunit vaccine. After adjusting for baseline covariates using the IPW approach, the odds of any adverse events due to PH in the vaccinated group did not statistically significantly increase (27/428 [6.3%] vs. 24/278 [8.6%], odds ratio = 0.72, P = 0.302). Approximately half of the vaccinated patients reported at least one post-vaccination side effects, most of which were mild, including pain at the injection site (159/428, 37.1%), fever (11/428, 2.6%), and fatigue (26/428, 6.1%). Conclusions::COVID-19 vaccination did not significantly augment the PH-related major adverse events for patients with WHO groups 1 and 4 PH, although there were some tolerable side effects. A large-scale randomized controlled trial is warranted to confirm this finding. The final approval of the COVID-19 vaccination for patients with PH as a public health strategy is promising.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of intraoperative individualized systolic blood pressure (SBP) management on myocardial injury after hip replacement in elderly patients at high risks of hypertension.Methods:One hundred and eighty-two patients of either sex, aged 60-89 yr, with body mass index of 18-26 kg/m 2, with a history of hypertension requiring drug treatment and stratified high risk factors of cardiovascular risk factors, scheduled for elective hip replacement under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=91 each) using a random number table method: routine management group and individualized SBP management group. Individualized SBP management group maintained the intraoperative SBP at 90%-110% of the baseline value, and routine management group implemented blood pressure management according to the current routine clinical pathway.The intermedian cubital venous blood samples were collected before surgery and at 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery for determination of the serum concentrations of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T. Postoperative myocardial injury and myocardial infarction were also recorded. The 30-day all-cause mortality was recorded on day 30 after surgery. Results:The incidence of postoperative myocardial injury and serum concentrations of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T at 24, 48 and 72 h after surgery were significantly decreased, and the length of hospital stay was shortened in individualized SBP management group as compared with routine management group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intraoperative individualized SBP management can reduce the postoperative myocardial injury in elderly patients at high risk of hypertension undergoing hip replacement.

White matter lesions (WMLs) are the extensive damage of periventricular and subcortical white matter caused by different etiology.Previous studies have shown that WMLs is associated with cognitive function, motor function, mood and urination function.Parkinson disease (PD) is a common chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system.Recently, evidences showed that PD patients have a high susceptibility to WMLs which participates in the progression of motor and cognitive impairment.PD patients have higher risk of WMLs because of cardiovascular autonomic nerve dysfunction, long-term dopamine (DA) treatment and β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) deposition along vessels.Furthermore, recently, more and more evidences showed that WMLs could impact on the motor and cognitive symptoms of PD.WMLs had a significant influence on axial motor symptoms, and was related to executive function, attention, memory, visual-spatial ability and other cognitive impairment.Moreover, the severity of WMLs affects drug and surgical efficacy of patients with PD.Taking active measures to slacken the WMLs progression of PD will contribute to improve symptoms and curative effect.This article summarized the roles of WMLs in the occurrence and development of PD, in order to provide theoretical basis for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Objective:
To explore the key points of clinical diagnosis and treatment of three mesiobuccal root canals.
Methods:
In the procedure of endodontic therapy for the upper left second molar with pulpitis, through root canal exploration under a dental microscope and cone beam CT (CBCT)-assisted imaging examination, it was confirmed that the left upper second molar contained 3 roots and 5 root canals, among which the third root canal existed in the mesiobuccal root. Combined with perfect root canal preparation, cleaning, disinfection, filling and minimally invasive inlay repair, the clinical symptoms were eliminated. The patients were followed up and the related literatures were reviewed.
Results :
One- and two-year follow-ups showed that the tooth had no discomfort and could be used normally. X-ray revealed that the filling was complete, and the periapical tissue was normal. The results of the literature review showed that the incidence of three mesiobuccal root canals in maxillary second molars was 0.11%-4.2%. It is difficult to find additional root canals only by X-ray imaging. Dentists should further determine the number and anatomical shape of root canals by CBCT and operating microscopy. When there are three mesiobuccal root canals in maxillary molars, dentists should avoid overpreparation. Healthy tooth tissue is the key to good prognosis.
Conclusion
During root canal therapy, clinicians should consider the anatomical variation of the root canal, should always be alert to the existence of an extra root canal, and should use CBCT, operating microscopy, ultrasound and various auxiliary instruments to locate and treat the variant root canal.
