ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of elderly hospitalized patients with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacillus (CRO) infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a gradeⅡ level A general hospital in Yangpu District of Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of hospital-acquired CRO infection in such hospitals. MethodsThe clinical data of elderly ICU patients (age ≥60 years) from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. A total of 122 cases with hospital-acquired CRO infection were used as the case group, and a total of 68 cases with carbapenem-sensitive gram-negative (CSO) infection were used as the control group. The clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed, and univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed for screening for possible influencing factors on hospital-acquired CRO infection. ResultsThe main pathogens of CRO infection were carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) (53 cases, 43.44%) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) (46 cases, 37.70%), and 17 patients (13.93%) had more than two types of CRO infection. Among the CRO infection, the main sites were lower respiratory tract infection (58 cases, 47.54%), ventilator-associated pneumonia (21 cases, 17.21%), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (16 cases, 13.11%). The incidence rate of poor prognosis was higher in the CRO infection group (54.10%) than that in the CSO infection group (36.76%) (P=0.021). The results of univariate analysis showed that male, history of hospitalization within three months, chronic respiratory disease, hypoproteinemia, anemia, and history of invasive procedures prior to infection, including indwelling central venous catheter, invasive mechanical ventilation, urinary catheter, gastric tube placement and parenteral nutrition, in addition, heparin anticoagulation, the use of broad-spectrum penicillin, third-generation cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, carbapenems, carbapenems combined with fluoroquinolones, carbapenems combined with glycopeptides, use of ≥3 antibiotics and long time of antibiotic use prior to infection were all associated with the CRO infection (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that use of carbapenems (OR=7.739, 95%CI: 2.226‒26.911), ≥3 types of antibiotics (OR=6.307, 95%CI: 1.674‒23.754), invasive mechanical ventilation (OR=4.082, 95%CI: 1.795‒9.281), urinary catheter (OR=3.554, 95%CI: 1.074‒11.758), and comorbid hypoproteinemia (OR=4.741, 95%CI: 2.039‒11.022) and diabetes (OR=3.245, 95%CI: 1.344‒7.839) were positively correlated with the risk of CRO infection. ConclusionConcurrent use of carbapenems with multiple other antibiotics, as well as the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, urinary catheter, and comorbid hypoproteinemia and diabetes, may be associated with an increased influencing of CRO infection. More attention should be paid to the prevention and control of infection in elderly patients with the above-mentioned risk factors, and active screening of drug-resistant bacteria should be strengthened. Besides, the rational use of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as carbapenems, avoiding unnecessary invasive operations, and paying attention to patient nutrition and blood glucose control all can reduce the incidence of CRO infection and help to improve clinical outcomes.

OBJECTIVE:
To review the advancement made in the understanding of valgus impacted proximal humeral fracture (PHF).
METHODS:
The domestic and foreign literature about the valgus impacted PHF was extensively reviewed and the definition, classification, pathological features, and treatment of valgus impacted PHFs were summarized.
RESULTS:
PHF with a neck shaft angle ≥160° is recognized as a valgus impacted PHF characterized by the preservation of the medial epiphyseal region of the humeral head, which contributes to maintenance of the medial periosteum's integrity after fracture and reduces the occurrence of avascular necrosis. Therefore, the valgus impacted PHF has a better prognosis when compared to other complex PHFs. The Neer classification designates it as a three- or four-part fracture, while the AO/Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (AO/ASIF) categorizes it as type C (C1.1). In the management of the valgus impacted PHF, the selection between conservative and surgical approaches is contingent upon the patient's age and the extent of fracture displacement. While conservative treatment offers the advantage of being non-invasive, it is accompanied by limitations such as the inability to achieve anatomical reduction and the potential for multiple complications. Surgical treatment includes open reduction combined with steel wire or locking plate and/or non-absorbable suture, transosseous suture technology, and shoulder replacement. Surgeons must adopt personalized treatment strategies for each patient with a valgus impacted PHF. Minimally invasive surgery helps to preserve blood supply to the humeral head, mitigate the likelihood of avascular necrosis, and reduce postoperative complications of bone and soft tissue. For elderly patients with severe comminuted and displaced fractures, osteoporosis, and unsuitable internal fixation, shoulder joint replacement is the best treatment option.
CONCLUSION
Currently, there has been some advancement in the classification, vascular supply, and management of valgus impacted PHF. Nevertheless, further research is imperative to assess the clinical safety, biomechanical stability, and indication of minimally invasive technology.

As the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases year by year, the number of patients with CKD is increasing year by year before or during pregnancy. Pregnancy management is increasingly important for patients with kidney disease, and women with CKD face a number of challenges during pregnancy, such as the risk of kidney disease progression, fetal growth restriction, the potential teratogenicity of medications, and an increased risk of complications such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. In order to ensure a good outcome for pregnant women and the fetus, it is necessary for multidisciplinary physicians in the department of nephrology, obstetrics, reproductive health and other departments to assess the risk of pregnancy in patients with CKD in a standardized manner, adjust medication in a timely manner, and closely monitor to detect maternal and fetal complications early, stabilize the patient′s condition, and determine the safest time for pregnancy and delivery.

ObjectiveTo analyze the data of hospitalized accidental injuries with registered residence in Yangpu District, Shanghai, to describe their characteristics, and to provide an evidence for formulating accidental injuries prevention and control strategies. MethodsStatistic analysis was conducted on the data of accidental hospitalized injury cases in Yangpu District. The incidence rate (per 100 000 population) and the hospital stay were used to analyze the characteristics of hospitalized accidental injuries. ResultsA total of 4 924 hospitalized accidental injury cases were reported in Yangpu District, Shanghai. The incidence rate was 468.77/105, the ratio of male to female was 1∶1.41. Among them, the age ≥65 group had the highest incidence rate, accounting for 55.83% of all cases. The incidence rate of female was 1.97 times higher than that of male (χ2=287.61, P<0.05). The top five causes of injuries were falls, traffic-related, accident blunt injuries, injury by sharp instrument and fire or burns. The incidence rate of falls in female was higher than in male (χ2=176.65, P<0.05). The incidence rates of sharp instrument and blunt injuries in male were higher than in female(sharp instrument χ2=13.45, P<0.05; blunt injuries χ2=9.10, P<0.05). Altogether, the incidence rates of falls and traffic-related accident increased with age group (falls χ2trend=1 593.07, P<0.05; traffic related χ2trend=106.82, P<0.05). Fire or burns and drowning had a median length of hospital stay of 8 and 14 days, respectively. ConclusionFalls is the leading cause of hospitalized accidental injuries (accounting for about 74% of the total number of hospitalized accidental injury cases), with a higher incidence rate among elderly people aged ≥65 years old, and higher female than in male. Although the incidence rates of burns and drowning are not high, the hospital stay is relatively long. Therefore, accidental injury prevention and intervention should be targeted at key accidental injuries (such as falls, fire or burns, and drowning) and key populations (such as elderly female aged ≥65 years old), to reduce the likelihood and the related loss of accidental injuries.

ObjectiveTo determine the trend in diabetes-related death and probability of premature mortality among residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai and provide evidence for the formulation of relevant intervention strategies. MethodsMortality and demographic data were collected among residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2002 to 2020. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square test with SPSS 21.0 and Excel 2010. Joinpoint regression was used to determine annual percent change (APC). The mortality was standardized by utilizing the world standard population in 2000. ResultsA total of 25 091 cases of diabetes-related deaths were reported in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2020. The average annual crude mortality of diabetes-related diseases was 122.10/105, which was 116.13/105 in males and 128.23/105 in females. The difference between males and females in crude mortality was statistically significant (P<0.05). Moreover, primary causes of diabetes-related deaths were diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and tumors. Among diabetic deaths, peripheral circulatory complications accounted for 50.79%, followed by renal complications (16.05%). The crude mortality in males, females, and total of diabetes-related diseases showed an upward trend, while the standardized mortality remained stable with an upward trend in male and a downward trend in female. Furthermore, the crude mortality in males, females, and total of diabetes complicated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases showed an increasing trend. In contrast, both the standardized mortality in males and in total showed an increasing trend, while that in females remained stable. The overall crude mortality of diabetes was on the rise, which was increasing in males and stable in females. The overall standard mortality of diabetes was on the decline, which was increasing in males while declining in females. In addition, the probability of premature mortality caused by diabetes-related diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases complicated with diabetes, and diabetes decreased from 2002 to 2020 with no statistical significance. Males showed an upward trend while females showed a downward trend. ConclusionThe mortality of diabetes-related diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases complicated with diabetes, and diabetes among residents in Yangpu District of Shanghai is on the rise. Similarly, standardized mortality and probability of premature mortality in males for all three diseases are also on the rise. It warrants more attention to the health of male diabetes patients and targeted measures to reduce the disease burden.

Objective To put forward suggestions for improving the scheme of general practice for functional communities from the perspective of supply and demand,guide the efficient use of the resources of general practice by the communities,and incorporate the general practice of communities into hierarchical diagnosis and treatment management. Methods In July 2021,stratified random sampling was employed to conduct the questionnaire surveys of the young and middle-aged (demand side) and the general practitioners (supply side),respectively.SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis. Results The two sides had the same cognition about the main reasons for not signing a contract with a family doctor,which were the lack of knowledge about general practitioners and the lack of face-to-face communication opportunities.They had the same response about the form of services,with high acceptance of medical services via WeChat,outpatient consultation,and the internet.There were differences in service content between the two sides.The top three demands of the young and middle-aged were appointment registration and referral in superior hospitals,medication guidance,and massage,acupuncture,and moxibustion.The top service self-rated by general practitioners was personalized guidance and report interpretation of physical examination,and the bottom was massage,acupuncture,and moxibustion. Conclusions The general practice varies between the demand and supply sides.General practitioners should be encouraged to enter and learn functional communities and provide personalized services,thus improving the general medical service in functional communities.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and risk factors of dental caries and its related influencing factors in 12-year-old children in Yangpu District, Shanghai, and to provide relevant data support for the formulation of oral health policies and measures for children. MethodsIn 2021, 839 12-year-old children were randomly selected from five ordinary junior high schools in Yangpu District. The investigation included an oral health examination and a questionnaire survey on factors related to dental caries. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of dental caries. ResultsAmong the 839 participants, data from 830 were included. Among them, 426 were male (51.3%) and 404 were female (48.7%). Of the 830 children, 203 had dental caries, resulting in a caries prevalence of 24.46%, a caries supplemental filling ratio of 32.6%, and a DMFT of 0.63. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a mother’s education level of college or above (OR=0.849,95% CI: 0.732‒0.984), brushing teeth twice a day (OR=0.827,95%CI: 0.703‒0.973), and the caregiver brushing teeth twice a day (OR=0.843, 95%CI: 0.726‒0.983) were effective factors in reducing the caries rate. Factors associated with childhood dental caries included consuming sweets ≥1 time per day (OR=1.397,95%CI: 1.197‒1.342) and female gender (OR=1.482,95%CI: 1.347‒1.671). ConclusionThe prevalence of dental caries among 12-year-old children in Yangpu District is 24.46%. Gender, maternal education, the frequency of children's toothbrushing, the frequency of sweet consumption, and the caregiver’s toothbrushing frequency are the main factors affecting the prevalence of dental caries in children.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of varicella in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2005 to 2022, predict the trend of varicella in Yangpu District in 2023, and provide evidence for prevention and control of varicella outbreaks. MethodsInformation of varicella cases reported in Yangpu District from 2005 to 2022 was obtained from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Descriptive statistics was used to characterize the varicella epidemiology. An autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was established by using the number of cases per month from 2005 to2022 to predict the trend of varicella epidemics in Yangpu District in 2023. The varicella incidence in 2022 was used to evaluate the fitness of the ARIMA model. ResultsFrom January 2005 to December 2021, a total of 11 527 cases of varicella were reported in Yangpu District, Shanghai. After excluding duplicates and clinical diagnoses, 11 413 cases were included into the analysis. The annual average incidence rate was 51.87/105, the age of onset was mainly under 20 years old (66.5%), and the occupation was mainly students (49.7%). The ARIMA (1,1,0)×(0,1,1)12 model was constructed and showed a good fitness while using monthly reported varicella cases in 2022 for model fitting. It was predicted that 1 089 cases of varicella would be reported in Yangpu District in 2023. ConclusionIt is predicted that varicella cases in Yangpu District will increase in 2023. It is recommended to continue promoting delayed varicella vaccination to maintain a high level of vaccination rate. Before the peak of the epidemic, health education regarding varicella should be strengthened, and measures for epidemic prevention and control should be reinforced to prevent varicella outbreaks.

Because the classification system of radical surgery for rectal cancer has not been established, it is impossible to select the appropriate surgical method according to the clinical stage of the tumor. In this paper, we explained the theory of " four fasciae and three spaces " of pelvic membrane anatomy and then combined this theory with the membrane anatomical basis of Querleu-Morrow classification for radical cervical cancer resection. Based on this theory and the membrane anatomy of Querleu-Morrow classification of radical cervical cancer resection, we proposed a new classification system of radical rectal cancer surgery based on membrane anatomy according to the lateral lymph node dissection range of the rectum. This system classifies the surgery into four types (ABCD) and defines corresponding subtypes based on whether the autonomic nerve was preserved. Among them, type A surgery is total mesorectal excision (TME) with urogenital fascia preservation, type B surgery is classical TME, type C surgery is extended TME, and type D surgery is lateral extended resection. This classification system unifies the anatomical terminology of the pelvic membrane, validates the feasibility of using the " four fasciae and three fascial spaces " theory to classify rectal cancer surgery, and lays the theoretical foundation for the future development of a unified and standardized classification of radical pelvic tumor surgery.
