Objective To explore the application of seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model in the prediction of brucellosis in Urumqi, and to use this model to predict the incidence trend of brucellosis in Urumqi. Methods The monthly incidence data of brucellosis in Urumqi from January 2010 to December 2021 were selected to construct the ARIMA prediction model. The prediction effect of the model was evaluated by mean standard deviation (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The monthly incidence of brucellosis in Urumqi in 2022 was predicted by the constructed model. Results The incidence of brucellosis in Urumqi had obvious seasonal distribution, and the cases were concentrated from May to July. ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,0,1)12 was the optimal prediction model, with RMSE=0.883 and MAE=5.24. The monthly incidence of brucellosis in Urumqi in 2022 was predicted to be 7, 4, 4, 6, 9, 9, 10, 7, 7, 5, 5, and 5 cases, respectively. Conclusion ARIMA model can well fit and predict the monthly incidence of brucellosis in Urumqi and provide a basis for the monitoring and prevention of brucellosis.

Objective:To investigate the predictive ability of Glypican-3 (GPC3) positive hepatocellular carcinoma based on the hepatobiliary specific contrast agent gadoxetate disodium enhancement of the liver imaging reporting and data system version 2018 (LI-RADS v2018) imaging features, and to assess the relevant clinical imaging features for postoperative recurrence in GPC3 positive HCC patients.Methods:This study was a cohort study. A total of 122 hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent gadoxetate disodium enhanced MRI examination with hepatic tumor resection in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected, including 96 GPC3 positive and 26 GPC3 negative patients. The imaging features defined by LI-RADS v2018 of HCC lesions were analyzed. Patients were followed up for 40 months to determine recurrence free survival (RFS). The logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of GPC3 positivity. An imaging model, and a clinical-imaging model which combined the patient′s alpha-fetoprotein levels were constructed. The efficacy of the model for predicting GPC3 positivity was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and the log-rank test was used to compare the RFS between GPC3 positive and negative patients. Risk factors affecting the recurrence of GPC3 positive HCC were assessed by Cox regression.Results:The results of logistic multivariate regression analysis confirmed that rim enhancement ( OR=5.685, 95% CI 1.229-26.287, P=0.026) and irregular tumor margin at hepatobiliary phase ( OR=4.431, 95% CI 1.684-11.663, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for GPC3 positive HCC. The area under the curve for predicting GPC3 positivity was 0.745 (95% CI 0.636-0.854) for the imaging model and 0.776 (95% CI 0.677-0.876) for the clinical-imaging model. The mean RFS in the GPC3 positive group was 22 months, and it was 32 months in the negative group. There was a statistically significant difference in RFS between the two groups ( χ2=5.15, P=0.023). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the arterial rim enhancement ( HR=5.460, 95% CI 1.966-15.162, P=0.001), microvascular invasion ( HR=2.402, 95% CI 1.210-4.769, P=0.012), portal vein tumor thrombus ( HR=3.226, 95% CI 1.114-9.344, P=0.031) were independent risk factors for recurrence after hepatic tumor resection for GPC3-positive HCC. Conclusions:A model based on the LI-RADS v2018 imaging features of hepatobiliary specific contrast agent gadoxetate disodium enhancement can effectively predict GPC3 positive HCC. The arterial rim enhancement, microvascular invasion and portal vein tumor thrombus are independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence of GPC3 positive HCC.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of pressuring feeding style a-mong caregivers in remote rural areas of Sichuan province.Methods Multistage sampling was conducted to select infants of 6-11 months old who had received complementary food and their caregivers in remote rural areas of Si-chuan province.A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic characteristics of infants and their caregivers,pressuring feeding behaviors,feeding environment,and caregivers'negative emotions.Quantile regression was em-ployed to analyze the factors influencing pressuring feeding among caregivers of infants.Results A total of 1358 pairs of infants and their caregivers were included,with the pressuring feeding behavior score of 11(8,14).Parity was the protective factor for caregivers'pressuring feeding(β25=-1.17,P＜0.001;β50=-1.40,P=0.002;β75=-2.18,P＜0.001).Whether infants played with toys while eating(β25=1.00,P＜0.001;β50=1.20,P=0.003;β75=1.42,P＜0.001)and whether infants watched TV/mobile phones(β25=0.50,P=0.048;β50=1.07,P=0.004)were the risk factors.At the 75th percentile,caregivers'negative emotions were the risk factor for pressuring feeding(β75=0.94,P=0.015).Caregivers'education background(β25=0.83,P=0.034;β50=0.87,P=0.021)and family income(β75=1.09,P=0.012)were also significantly associated with pressuring feeding scores at different quartile points.Conclusions Pressuring feeding behaviors of caregivers in remote rural areas of Sichuan province need to be improved.Based on the characteristics of infants and their families,guidance should be carried out to improve the feeding environment and the mental health of caregivers,thereby promoting reasonable feeding behaviors among caregivers of infants in rural areas.

Objective:To investigate the value of radiomics based on three-dimensional high resolution MR vessel wall imaging (3D HRMR-VWI) for identifying culprit plaques in symptomatic patients with middle cerebral atherosclerosis.Methods:The clinical and imaging features of 117 patients (139 middle cerebral artery plaques) with cerebrovascular diseases in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from October 2018 to October 2020 were respectively reviewed. Stratified random sampling was used to divide 139 plaques into training set (97 plaques) and validation set (42 plaque) at the ratio of 7∶3. The plaques were divided into 69 culprit plaques and 70 non-culprit plaques based on plaque MR features and clinical symptoms. The clinical and imaging characteristics of culprit plaques and non-culprit plaques were compared by independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ 2 test, and factors with significant difference between two groups in univariate analysis were further analyzed by multivariate logistic regression to find out the independent predictors of culprit plaques. Radiomics features were extracted, screened and radiomics model was constructed using pre-and post-contrast 3D HRMR-VWI based on the training set. The combined model was constructed by combining the independent predictors and radiomics model. Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the efficacy of each model, and DeLong test was used to compare the efficacy of different models. Results:Significant difference was found in intraplaque hemorrhage, lumen area of stenosis, stenosis diameter, stenosis rate, plaque burden and enhancement rate between culprit and non-culprit plaques (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that only intraplaque hemorrhage was the independent predictor for culprit plaques (OR=7.045,95%CI 1.402-35.397, P=0.018). In the validation set, the AUC of the pre-contrast 3D HRMR-VWI model was lower than that of the post-contrast 3D HRMR-VWI model ( Z=-2.01, P=0.044). The AUC of pre+post-contrast 3D HRMR-VWI model was not significantly different from that of post-contrast 3D HRMR-VWI model ( Z=0.79, P=0.427). The AUC showed no significant difference between combined model and pre+post-contrast 3D HRMR-VWI model ( Z=-0.59, P>0.05). The combined model showed the best performance in predicting culprit plaques of middle cerebral artery (AUC=0.939), with the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 95.24%, 76.19% and 85.71%. Conclusion:Radiomics based on 3D HRMR-VWI has potential values in identifying culprit plaques in symptomatic patients with middle cerebral atherosclerosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical profile of primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia(PBMAH) and sex difference.Methods:One hundred and forty cases of PBMAH were recruited in our center from 2014, and all patients were evaluated for hormone secretion, adrenal imaging, and metabolic parameters.Results:Overt Cushing′s syndrome accounted for 76.4% of PBMAH cohort and 47.9% were female. The overt group had higher serum cortisol and 24 h urinary free cortisol levels, lower adrenocorticotropic hormone, higher serum cortisol after low-dose dexamethasone suppression tests, larger total adrenal size, and a higher percentage of obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypokalemia than the subclinical group(all P<0.05). When compared with the male group, the female group had smaller adrenal size( P<0.001), lower HbA 1C( P=0.003), higher total cholesterol( P=0.005), and lower density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels( P=0.035). Further, 24 h urinary free cortisol in the male group was found to be positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, 2 h postprandial glucose after oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT), and HbA 1C after adjusted for age, body mass index, and onset duration, and was negatively correlated with body mass index and potassium levels. While 24 h urinary free cortisol in the female group was positively correlated only with diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, and 2 h postprandial glucose after OGTT(all P<0.05). During follow-up, 80.0% of patients achieved remission after unilateral adrenalectomy, with a recurrence rate of 17.9%. Conclusion:PBMAH related metabolic disorder is more pronounced in overt Cushing′s syndrome and males. Unilateral adrenalectomy as an effective treatment can benefit the majority of patients.

Objective To sort out the scientific research achievements in the direction of early warning of infectious diseases in China from 2001 to 2022, and analyze the research hotspots and trends in the direction of early warning of infectious diseases in China in recent 20 years, so as to provide reference for relevant policies and exploration directions. Methods Relevant literature retrieved from CNKI Chinese database was used as the data source, and Excel 2019 and Citespace 6.1.R2 software were used for visual analysis of research hotspots and frontier literature. Results A total of 1276 papers meeting requirements were obtained, and most of the research groups were relatively small and had little cooperation with others. The types of research institutions were relatively single, and most of them were domestic universities. ^“Infectious diseases^”, ^“early warning^” and ^“prediction^” were the most frequently used keywords. Research on big data and COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control is the current research frontier. Conclusion There is little cooperation among authors and between institutions in the field of early warning of infectious diseases in China. Using big data to early warning of infectious diseases and improving the ability of early warning of COVID-19 are the main research directions and trends at present.

Background Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that is widely used in agricultural production, with a high detection rate in human biological samples. Previous studies have shown a high correlation between imidacloprid exposure and liver injury, but the specific mechanism is still unknown. Objective To observe potential toxic effects of HepG2 cells and its perturbation of non-targeted metabolic profile after imidacloprid exposure, and to explore possible molecular mechanisms of hepatotoxicity of imidacloprid by analyzing invovlved biological processes and signaling pathways. Methods HepG2 cell suspension was prepared and seeded in a 96-well plate, which was divided into blank control group, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent control group and imidacloprid exposure groups with multiple concentrations. Each group was set with 5 parallel samples. The viability of HepG2 cells viability were determined after 8 h of exposure to different concentrationsof imidacloprid (1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 mmol·L⁻¹), and the dose-effect relationship was analyzed. A proper concentration (3 mmol·L⁻¹ with 80% viability) was chosen for imidacloprid exposure, non-targeted metabolomic analysis was applied to the cultivated HepG2 cells using UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology, the differential metabolites between groups were screened, and the bioprocess and related signaling pathways of their enrichment were annotated using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. Results Compared to the other two groups, the survival rates of HepG2 cells in the imidacloprid exposure groups decreased. A survival rate of about 86% of HepG2 cells was found in HepG2 cells exposed to 2.5 mmol·L⁻¹ imidacloprid exposure. The non-targeted metabolomics studies showed that 61 metabolites were significantly affected in HepG2 cells after 3 mmol·L⁻¹ imidacloprid exposure, including creatine (variable importance in projection VIP=1.11, P<0.001), arginine (VIP=1.47, P=0.048), taurine (VIP=4.28, P=0.001), and α-D-glucose (VIP=1.90, P=0.006). The differential metabolites enriched in bioprocess and related signaling pathways were mainly directed to mTOR signaling pathways (P<0.001), arginine and proline metabolism (P=0.002), and galactose metabolism (P=0.015). Conclusion Imidacloprid exposure can significantly inhibit the survival rate of HepG2 cells, and interfere with the mTOR signaling pathway, arginine and proline metabolism, galactose metabolism, and so on.
