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.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a series of complex challenges. COVID-19 in children and adolescents is generally less severe than in adults and the elderly; however, some children and adolescents may experience severe complications and adverse health effects even after mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 infections. The article focuses on gathering the epidemic characteristics, health impact, risk factors, prevention and control measures, and vaccination status of children and adolescents with COVID-19 infection to provide recommendations for protecting children and adolescents in the post COVID-19 era.

Cryoablation therapy with explicit anti-tumor mechanisms and histopathological manifestations has a long history.A large number of clinical practice has shown that cryoablation therapy is safe and effective,making it an ideal tumor treatment method in theory.Previously,its efficacy and clinical application were constrained by the limitations of refrigerants and refrigeration equipment.With the development of the new generation of cryoablation equipment represented by argon helium knives,significant progress has been made in refrigeration efficien-cy,ablation range,and precise temperature measurement,greatly promoting the progression of tumor cryoablation technology.This consensus systematically summarizes the mechanism of cryoablation technology,indications for oral mucosal melanoma(OMM)cryotherapy,clinical treatment process,adverse reactions and management,cryotherapy combination therapy,etc.,aiming to provide reference for carrying out the standardized cryoablation therapy of OMM.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of schizophrenic patients using long-acting antipsychotic medications, so as to provide the basis for applicable population of long-acting antipsychotic medications. Methods: Data of schizophrenic patients using long-acting antipsychotic medications in Shanghai City from June 2020 to June 2022 were collected through Shanghai Mental Health Information Management System, and demographic characteristics, illness and medication use of patients were descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 2 684 schizophrenic patients using long-acting antipsychotic medications were included in the study, had a mean age of (46.92±12.39) years, with 1 246 males (46.42%) and 1 438 females (53.58%). There were 1 397 unemployed cases, accounting for 52.05%; 1 429 cases with an educational level in junior high school or below, accounting for 53.24%; 1 301 unmarried cases, accounting for 48.47%; 832 cases in poverty, accounting for 31.00%. The caregivers of patients were mainly their parents, with 1 507 cases accounting for 56.15%. The courses of illness were mainly ≤10 years and >10-20 years, with 860 cases each, both accounting for 32.04%; 1 963 cases with incomplete self-awareness, accounting for 73.14%; 1 570 cases hospitalized at least once, accounting for 58.49%. There were 2 486 cases with continuous medication, accounting for 92.62%. The main method of taking medication was given by others, with 1 947 cases accounting for 72.54%. The medication adherence was mainly taking medication on time and in the right amount, with 2 437 cases accounting for 90.80%. Conclusion The main characteristics of schizophrenic patients using long-acting antipsychotic medications are young, unmarried, and unemployed adults, with incomplete self-awareness, continuous medication and medication given by others.

Background::With an increasing proportion of multiparas, proper interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) are urgently needed. However, the association between IPIs and adverse perinatal outcomes has always been debated. This study aimed to explore the association between IPIs and adverse outcomes in different fertility policy periods and for different previous gestational ages.Methods::We used individual data from China’s National Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System between 2014 and 2019. Multivariable Poisson models with restricted cubic splines were used. Each adverse outcome was analyzed separately in the overall model and stratified models. The stratified models included different categories of fertility policy periods (2014–2015, 2016–2017, and 2018–2019) and infant gestational age in previous pregnancy (<28 weeks, 28–36 weeks, and ≥37 weeks).Results::There were 781,731 pregnancies enrolled in this study. A short IPI (≤6 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.63 [1.55, 1.71] for vaginal delivery [VD] and 1.10 [1.03, 1.19] for cesarean section [CS]), low Apgar scores and small for gestational age (SGA), and a decreased risk of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. A long IPI (≥60 months) was associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (OR [95% CI]: 1.18 [1.11, 1.26] for VD and 1.39 [1.32, 1.47] for CS), placenta previa, postpartum hemorrhage, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, preeclampsia or eclampsia, and gestational hypertension. Fertility policy changes had little effect on the association of IPIs and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The estimated risk of preterm birth, low Apgar scores, SGA, diabetes mellitus in pregnancy, and gestational hypertension was more profound among women with previous term births than among those with preterm births or pregnancy loss.Conclusion::For pregnant women with shorter or longer IPIs, more targeted health care measures during pregnancy should be formulated according to infant gestational age in previous pregnancy.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the temporal and spatial changes in the expression of perios-tin during periodontal inflammation in mice.Methods A periodontitis model was constructed using silk thread ligation.Mice were randomly divided into five groups in-cluding control group,4-day ligation group,7-day liga-tion group,14-day ligation group,and self-healing group(thread removal for 14 days after 14-day ligation).Mi-cro-CT and histological staining were performed to char-acterize the dynamic changes in the mouse periodontal tissue in each group.RNAscope and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the pattern of changes in peri-ostin at various stages of periodontitis.The cell experiment was divided into three groups:control group,lipopolysac-charide(LPS)stimulation group(treated with LPS for 12 h),and LPS stimulation removal group(treated with LPS for 3 h followed by incubation with medium for 9 h).Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression of periostin,transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),and matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2).Results Significant alveolar bone resorption was observed 7 days after ligation.With increasing duration of ligation,the damage to the mouse periodontal tissue was aggravated,which manifested as increased osteoclasts,widen-ing of the periodontal membrane space,and decreased alveolar bone height.Some degree of periodontal tissue repair was observed in the self-healing group.Periostin expression decreased at 4 and 7 days compared with the control group and increased at 14 days compared with 4 and 7 days.A significant recovery was found in the self-healing group.The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of periostin and TGF-β1 in the LPS stimulation group decreased compared with that in the control group but significantly recovered in the LPS removal group.Conclusion Periostin expression in the PDL of mice showed a downward and upward trend with inflammation progression.The significant recovery of periostin expression after removing inflammatory stimuli may be related to TGF-β1,which is crucial to maintain the in-tegrity of the PDL.

Objective:To investigate the impact of daily activities on cognitive function in retired elderly people in Changsha.Methods:A study was conducted on retired individuals aged 60 years or older who participated in our hospital's community free clinic from January 2021 to October 2021.A total of 325 elderly people were surveyed.After obtaining their informed consent, they were evaluated in a relatively quiet environment using the Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE), the Athens Insomnia Scale, and a self-made questionnaire.Multifactorial logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing cognitive function.Results:A total of 304 valid questionnaires were collected, consisting of 180 individuals in the normal cognition group and 124 in the cognitive impairment group.The cognition scores for the two groups were(25.77±2.08)and(18.86±3.74), respectively.Comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of general information, sleep conditions, and daily activities.Multifactorial regression analysis revealed that engaging in labor before retirement( OR, 2.105; 95% CI: 1.040-4.262)higher education levels( OR, 0.416; 95% CI: 0.182-0.950), maintaining contact with relatives and friends( OR, 0.205; 95% CI: 0.080-0.529), nurturing plants or pets( OR, 0.264; 95% CI: 0.124-0.563), and caring for grandchildren( OR, 0.325; 95% CI: 0.158-0.665)were identified as protective factors against cognitive impairment( P<0.05). Conclusions:Encouraging active participation of elderly individuals in beneficial community activities is crucial, while also emphasizing the importance of social relationships among retired individuals to mitigate the onset of cognitive impairment.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety and economics of romiplostim for treating primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)by rapid health technology assessment,and to provide an evidence-based basis for policy makers and clinical practice.Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,CNKI,WanFang Data and VIP databases and the official websites of health technology assessment agency were electronically searched to collect high-quality clinical evidence and pharmacoeconomics evaluation literature of romiplostim for the treatment of ITP from inception to January 18,2024.Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted information,and accessed the quality of included the literature,the extracted results were categorized and evaluated.Results A total of 14 literature were included,in which 8 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis and 6 pharmacoeconomic studies.In terms of efficacy,treatment with romiplostim significantly elevated platelet response rate,sustained platelet response rate,and mean platelet count in patients with ITP compared with placebo(P＜0.05).Romiplostim did not show a significant advantage in elevating patients'platelet response rate and sustained platelet response rate compared with other agents used to treat ITP(P＞0.05).In terms of safety,the incidence of serious adverse events was statistically lower with romiplostim compared to placebo(P＜0.05),while no significant differences were seen in the incidence of adverse events,bleeding events and thrombotic events(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse events,serious adverse events,bleeding events,or thrombotic events when comparing romiplostim to other drugs for the treatment of ITP(P＞0.05).From an economic standpoint,most studies considered eltrombopag to be more economic advantages than romiplostim.Conclusion Romiplostim has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of ITP,and no advantage was shown in terms of economy.

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.

Platelet elevation is a rare manifestation in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In this paper, we report for the first time a case of CML combined with cerebral hemorrhage manifested by abnormally elevated platelets. The patient had elevated platelets in the peripheral blood, showed normal coagulation function, and underwent intracranial hematoma removal due to cerebral hemorrhage. After the operation, bleeding from the operated area and other systems occurred, and the patient was diagnosed as having accelerated CML after combining bone marrow biopsy and genetic testing. His condition was controlled after administration of flumatinib through a jejunal tube. Based on this patient's experience, the feasibility ofadministering flumatinib via a jejunostomy tube was determined, which is the first report of its kind in China and abroad.This article summarizes the diagnosis and treatment process of this patient, with the aim of providing a warning and reference for clinicians.
