Background Non-optimal temperatures pose significant threats to public health. Analyzing the association between temperature exposure and the number of emergency cases of acute alcohol intoxication can provide evidence for optimizing emergency resource allocation and response strategies. Objective To analyze the overall impact and lag effects of non-optimal temperatures on the number of 120 emergency calls for acute alcohol intoxication in Wuxi, and to assess the attributable risk, in order to provide empirical evidence for formulating climate-adaptive public health strategies. Methods Call records of acute alcohol intoxication from Wuxi's 120 emergency service, concurrent air pollutant data, and meteorological data (including daily mean temperature) were collected from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020. Distributed lag nonlinear modeling was used for time-series analysis, with cross-basis functions to capture the nonlinear relationship and lag effects between temperature and emergency volume. Confounding factors such as long-term trends, humidity, pollutants [ultimately including ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5)], day of the week, and holidays were controlled. The maximum lag period was set to 14 days. Single-day lag and cumulative lag effects of extreme temperatures were analyzed, followed by sensitivity analysis. Effects were quantified using relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), and attributable fractions and numbers for different temperature ranges were calculated. Results A total of 10705 emergency cases of acute alcohol intoxication were included during the study period, with males accounting for 89.5% and individuals aged 18–50 years accounting for 83.4%. A non-linear "U-shaped" association was observed between daily mean temperature and the number of emergency calls, with an optimal temperature of 13.3 ℃. The effect of the extreme low temperature (1.88 ℃) was statistically significant from lag1 to lag3 after exposure (P<0.05), with the maximum effect at lag1 (RR=1.063, 95%CI: 1.002, 1.129). The extreme high temperature (32.3 ℃) showed an immediate effect, with maximum effect at lag0 (RR=1.374, 95%CI: 1.248, 1.512). The cumulative effect analysis showed that the risk associated with high temperature was the highest at lag0–3 (RR=2.000, 95%CI: 1.667, 2.399), while the risk associated with low temperature was the highest at lag0–14 (RR=1.462, 95%CI: 1.042, 2.051). The attribution analysis indicated that the mild heat (>24.7–30.8 ℃) and heat (>30.8–33.5 ℃) contributed the largest numbers of attributable cases, with 591 cases (95%CI: 56, 1032) and 190 cases (95%CI: 51, 309), respectively. The corresponding attributable fractions were 5.81% (95%CI: 0.80%, 9.94%) and 1.87% (95%CI: 0.49%, 2.96%), respectively. Conclusion Both extreme high and low temperatures significantly increase the number of 120 emergency calls for acute alcohol intoxication in Wuxi. High temperature exhibit an acute effect, while low temperature show a delayed effect. Mild heat have a significant impact on the emergency burden. It is recommended that emergency departments optimize resource allocation according to climatic characteristics and strengthen emergency responses during extreme weather to reduce alcohol-related health burden.

Objective:To explore the effects of infusion of irritant medications on the patients with midline catheter based on propensity score matching method and provide reference for medications infusion through midline catheter.Methods:Through a retrospective cohort study, the clinical data of 1 539 patients with midline catheter placement in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2019 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into irritant medications group ( n=1 120) and non-irritant medications group ( n=419) according to the characteristics of the medications they were infused with, and then compared the patients of the two groups with midline catheter-related complications and catheter indwelling time based on the propensity score matching. Results:Among 1 539 patients, there were 656 males and 883 females, aged 18-92 (59.30 ± 18.76) years old. Before propensity score matching, there were statistically significant differences in age: (58.09 ± 18.72) years old, (62.55 ± 18.50) years old; hypertension:496 cases, 210 cases; diabetes:266 cases, 129 cases; white blood cell count:7.50(5.50, 9.70) × 10 9/L, 7.00(5.10, 9.50) × 10 9/L between the irritant medications group and non-irritant medications group ( t=4.18, χ2=4.18, 7.92, Z=-1.98, all P<0.05). After propensity score matching, there were 412 patients in the irritant medications group and 412 patients in the non-irritant medications group, and there was no significant difference in the general data between the two groups (all P>0.05). After propensity score matching, the rates of oozing, bleeding, catheter occlusion, catheter-related thrombosis, catheter dislodgement and total catheter complications between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). The catheter indwelling time in the irritant medications group was 10.00 (5.25, 16.75) days, which was longer than that in the non-irritant medications group for 6.00 (4.00, 11.00) days, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-7.25, P<0.05). Conclusions:Infusion of irritant medications has no effect on the outcome of midline catheter, but monitoring and catheter maintenance should be strengthened in order to reduce the occurrence of cutheter related complications.

Objective:To explore the degree of fear of pain in bum patients and analyze the related factors of fear of pain.Methods:519 cases of bum inpatients were selected and investigated by using the Fear of Pain Ques-tionnaire(FPQ),the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(MCMQ)and the Family APGAR Index(APGAR).Re-sults:The score of fear of pain in burn patients was(95.5±16.3).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the score of fear of pain was positively correlated with male,moderate and severe burn and hospitaliza-tion time over 4 weeks(β=0.22,0.35,0.41),and negatively correlated with the scores of family function of the Family APGAR Index and coping style of the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(β=-0.29,-0.16).Con-clusion:Male patients with moderate and severe bums who have been hospitalized for more than 4 weeks are more likely to have a higher level of fear of pain,and burn patients with better family function and coping style may have a lower degree of fear of pain.

Objective:To explore the value of conventional ultrasonography combined with cervical compression in the diagnosis of orbital venous malformation (OVM).Methods:A total of 43 patients with suspected OVM were admitted in sequentially from January 2019 to July 2022 in the Third Medical Center of PLA General Hospital. All patients were examined by ultrasonography combined with cervical compression and demonstrated by operation or digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The conventional ultrasound features of OVM were summarized, and the value of conventional ultrasonography combined with cervical compression in the diagnosis of OVM was discussed.Results:The features of the conventional ultrasound combined with cervical compression for diagnosis of OVM were as follows: the interior of lesion was mainly tubular structure, and the compression test was positive. After cervical compression, the lesion enlarged and the inner diameter of the internal tubular structure widened. Doppler flow imaging showed that the interior of lesion was mainly venous blood flow. Compared with the results of postoperative pathology or DSA, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and positive predictive value of ultrasonography combined with cervical compression were 0.952, 1.000, 95.3% and 100%, respectively. The results of Fisher exact diagnosis showed that there was no significant difference between ultrasonography and operation or DSA of OVM( P>0.05). Conclusions:Conventional ultrasound combined with cervical compression can be used as an effective method for the diagnosis of OVM.

Objective:To investigate the value of ultrasound and Ki-67 for early predicting pathological complete response (pCR) of triple negative breast cancer(TNBC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed in 190 patients with TNBC who underwent surgery after NAC treatment at the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University from January 2019 to December 2022. All patients underwent ultrasound examination before and after 2 and 4 cycles of NAC treatment. According to the operation pathological results after NAC, the patients were divided into pCR group and non-pCR group. The differences in ultrasound and Ki-67 parameters were compared between the pCR and non-pCR groups, and binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent predictors for pCR. The ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy.Results:Tumor maximum diameter, relative change rates of tumor maximum diameter after 2-cycle and 4-cycle NAC (ΔD2, ΔD4), relative change rate of lymph node short diameter after 2-cycle NAC (ΔS2), T-stage, N-stage and Ki-67 showed statistically significant differences between the pCR group and the non-pCR group (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that ΔD4, T-stage, N-stage and Ki-67 were independent predictors for pCR ( OR=1.029, P=0.011; OR=0.300, P=0.009; OR=0.653, P=0.048; OR=1.028, P=0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of pCR was 0.804 (95% CI=0.742-0.866), the sensitivity and specificity were 67.5% and 83.2% respectively. Conclusions:The combination parameters of ΔD4, T-stage, N-stage and Ki-67 have certain clinical value for predicting pCR of TNBC.

Objective:To explore the value of 5G robotic remote ultrasound in the diagnosis of plateau pulmonary edema(HAPE).Methods:A total of 27 patients who quickly entered Nagqu, Tibet at an altitude of 4 600 m-5 600 m from March to December 2021 and developed one of the clinical symptoms of HAPE were collected. All patients were examined by 5G remote robotic ultrasound and lung CT respectively. Kappa test was used to analyze the consistency of the two diagnostic results, and McNemar test was used to compare the difference in diagnostic results. The ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of remote lung ultrasound scores in the diagnosis of HAPE.Results:Among the 27 patients, 16 showed thickening of pleural line, increasing of B line, lung consolidation, pleural effusion, etc. Meanwhile, 11 showed no abnormality. Additionally, 8 cases had diffuse pulmonary fluid in both lungs, and 8 cases had localized pulmonary fluid. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of lung ultrasound score for the diagnosis of HAPE was 0.947 (95% CI=0.78-0.99, P<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity were 0.933 and 0.917, respectively. Lung CT diagnosis was positive in 15 cases. Lung CT showed thickening of lung texture, ground glass, small nodular shadow, fine reticulate shadow, etc. The diagnostic results of the two techniques were in good agreement (Kappa=0.924, P<0.001), and there was no significant difference between the two methods ( P>0.05). Conclusions:5G remote robotic ultrasound has high consistency with CT in the diagnosis of HAPE and is an alternative early diagnosis method for HAPE. It may have clinical application value in scattered medical resources and remote plateau areas.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) on the recurrence of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative treatment. MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data, and VIP were searched for the clinical studies of DAA and the recurrence of HCV-related HCC published up to April 2020. Stata 14.0 software was used to perform the meta-analysis. The Cochran Q test was used to evaluate heterogeneity between studies; the fixed effects model was used for non-heterogeneous data, and the random effects model was used for heterogeneous data. The Egger regression method or the Begg rank correlation method was used to evaluate the presence or absence of publication bias. ResultsA total of 10 articles (11 studies) were included in our study, among which 8 articles (9 studies) compared the effect of DAA versus the absence of anti-HCV therapy on the recurrence of HCC after curative treatment. There were 991 patients in DAA group and 808 patients in untreated group. The results of the meta-analysis showed that DAA reduced the recurrence rate of HCC after curative treatment in patients with HCV infection (hazard ratio ［HR］=0.42, 95% confidence interval ［CI］: 0.28?0.36, P＜0.001). Three articles compared the effect of DAA versus interferon for the treatment of hepatitis C on the recurrence of HCC after curative treatment, with 267 patients in DAA group and 212 in interferon group, and the results of the meta-analysis showed that DAA and interferon had a similar effect on the recurrence rate of HCV-related HCC (HR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.64-1.15, P=0.298). ConclusionBoth interferon and DAA can significantly reduce the recurrence risk of HCV-related HCC after curative treatment, with no significant difference between them.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between daily behavior and self-perceived academic performance among students in Jiangxi, and to provide a scientific basis for developing health behavior among adolescents and children. Methods: By using stratified cluster sampling, 12 primary and secondary schools from six counties of Jiangxi Province were selected, and a total of 2 284 students were investigated with questions including breakfast consumption, number of days participating in sports activities (≥45 min) and the average screen time during the past 7 days. Regression analysis was carried out by using ordered multi-classification logistic. Results: Of the 2 284 students surveyed, 1 374(60.16%) perceived their academic performance as very good or good, 613 (26.84%) and 297(13.00%) perceived as moderate or poor. Primary school, having breakfast every day, not playing on mobile or computer during weekday was positively associated with higher self-perceived academic performance (OR=0.50, 0.57 and 0.64, respectively, P<0.05), no sports activities ≥45 min during the past 7 d was associated with poor(OR=1.57, P<0.01). Among the 2 284 students, 67.43% students ate breakfast every day in the past 7 d, 75.39% students did not play mobile phones or computers at school, 40.89% students did not participate in sports activities (≥45 min). Conclusion Breakfast skipping and insufficient physical exercise shows adverse effects, and no/limited screen time during weekdays shows positive effects on academic performance. Intervention of visky behaviors should to carried out from different perspectives to promote the develpment of the health habits among students.
