Challenges and Countermeasures of Mental Health Social Work in Shanghai in Post-Epidemic Era / 中国医学伦理学

This paper summarized three developing conditions and five service modes of mental health social work in Shanghai by reading literature and investigating and interviewing the social work service of mental health medical institutions in Shanghai. Three challenges to mental health social work after COVID -19 were identified: firstly, the reduction of direct services led to a decrease in the number of service beneficiaries, and the effectiveness of services could not be guaranteed; secondly, the application of social work methods was forced to adjust, which challenges the service ability of social workers; thirdly, the expansion or increase of the scope of service objects and the insufficient number of social workers led to difficulties in service response. In view of the above challenges and problems, countermeasures are proposed: ensure the continuity of professional relationship and service effectiveness through flexible and diversified service methods; knit for social work online working ability training, increasing network service experience; the scope of service objects expanding gradually and multi-sectoral cooperation to prevent psychological problems in key groups; set up a volunteer team to serve mental health.

The 499th case: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, limb weakness, and ostealgia / 中华内科杂志

A 36-year-old woman was admitted to the Peking Union Medical College Hospital with a history of fractures for 2 years, limb weakness for 1 year, and ostealgia for 2 months. The patient's examination identified iron deficiency anemia, significantly decreased serum calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels, and increased alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels. Imaging showed several typical signs of osteomalacia. Considering the history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, the diagnosis was considered to be osteomalacia caused by a postoperative nutritional absorption disorder. The patient was supplemented with calcitriol, calcium, and vitamin D and gradually returned to normal physical activity. The bone metabolism indicators and bone density were significantly improved.

Research on the MRI/CT-based pre-operative bone quality assessment method for patients with cervical degenerative diseases and validation of its diagnostic efficacy / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of MRI-based or CT-based measurements and the combined evaluation methods for preoperative bone quality assessment in patients with cervical degenerative diseases.Methods:Patients who underwent spine surgery for cervical degenerative diseases at the Department of Orthopedics, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from September 2020 to March 2022 with available preoperative X-ray, CT, MRI and dule energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA) data were included in this study. Vertebral bone quality score (VBQ) based on MRI T1-weightedimages and CT Hounsfiled unit (HU) values of the cervical spine were measured, and a combined diagnostic formula based on the binary logistic regression was constructed. The patients were divided into normal bone mass (T≥-1.0) and osteopenia/osteoporosis groups (T<-1.0). The student's t-test and Chi-square test were performed for comparisons between groups. The Pearson correlation coefficient was also used to investigate the correlation between DEXA-T scores, cervical VBQ and CT HU values. In addition, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were plotted to explore the diagnostic efficacy of VBQ, CT HU and their combined diagnosis. Meanwhile, the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were obtained. Results:A total of 71 patients were included in this study (17 in the normal group and 54 in the osteopenia/osteoporosis group). The student's t-test showed that VBQ (2.90±0.70 vs. 3.83±0.83, t=4.23, P<0.001) and CT HU values (370.26±85.38 vs. 295.20±67.96, t=3.73, P=0.002) were significantly different between the two groups. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for VBQ and CT values of the cervical spine were 0.81 and 0.75, respectively, and the AUC for the combined diagnostic value constructed on the basis of both was 0.85. Applying VBQ scores alone had a diagnostic sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 70%, and the combined diagnosis with VBQ and CT HU had a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 75%. Person correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between DEXA T value, cervical VBQ value and CT HU value. The detailed formula was: DEXA T score=-0.63×cervical VBQ+0.64 ( r=-0.55, P<0.001), CT HU value=-40.20×cervical VBQ+458.40 ( r=-0.45, P<0.001), DEXA T score=0.006×CT HU-3.47 ( r=0.45, P<0.001). Conclusion:This study confirmed the feasibility of using cervical VBQ values, CT HU values and combined diagnostics for preoperative bone density screening in patients with degenerative cervical spine diseases. This method allows surgeons to perform an initial preoperative bone density screening based on the patient's existing imaging data, and thus could aid in confirming the indication and scheme of surgery. The method could be a powerful tool for preoperative bone density assessment screening in patients with cervical degenerative diseases.

The diagnostic value of KRAS gene mutation in appendiceal adenocarcinoma / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To analyze the mutation characteristics of Kirsten rat sarcoma virus oncogene homology (KRAS) gene in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma and its relationship with the activity of Ras Raf Mitogen activated protein kinase/extracellular regulated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathway.Methods:A total of 41 patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma who were treated in the Lishui Central Hospital from January 2014 to January 2020 were selected as the observation group, and 50 patients with Appendicitis who were operated at the same time were randomly selected as the control group. Clinical and follow-up data were collected, and the mutation of the KRAS gene in the patient′s tissue was measured using the snapshot method. The expression of key proteins in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in cancer tissue was measured using Western blotting (WB) assay. We compared the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with KRAS mutation and non KRAS mutation appendiceal adenocarcinoma.Results:The KRAS gene mutation rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (41.5% vs 10.0%), and the expression levels of p-ARAF/ARAF, p-MEK1/MEK1, and p-ERK1/ERK1 proteins were also higher than those in the control group. The differences between the groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The protein expression levels of p-ARAF/ARAF, p-MEK1/MEK1, p-ERK1/ERK1 in KRAS mutation patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in non KRAS mutation patients. The proportion of stage IV, positive rates of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA)199 and CA125 in KRAS mutation patients were higher than those in non KRAS mutation patients, and the survival time and progression free survival time were shorter than those in non KRAS mutation patients, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The mutation rate of KRAS in appendix adenocarcinoma is high, and the activation of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway caused by KRAS mutation may play a role in the pathogenesis of appendix adenocarcinoma, which has the value of in-depth research.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk stratification of 182 patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE), and to investigate the correlation of neutrophil (N)/lymphocyte (L) ratio (NLR) and risk stratification/prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 182 APE patients admitted to Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2015 to March 2021 were retrospectively collected, including age, sex, symptoms and signs, blood pressure, blood gas analysis, blood routine parameters, cardiac biomarkers, coagulation parameters, and right ventricular imaging parameters. The patients were divided into groups according to the risk stratification at admission and prognosis in hospital. χ2 test, t test or nonparametric test were used to analyze the differences in clinical characteristics, blood routine parameters, blood gas analysis, coagulation parameters and other parameters between the groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to study the independent risk factors for the prognosis of APE. Results:Among the 182 patients, 79 were male and 103 were female, 23 were in the high-risk group, 51 were in the intermediate-high-risk group, 46 were in the intermediate-low risk group, and 62 were in the low-risk group. There were 27 deaths and 155 survivors. The respiratory rate of the high/intermediate-high-risk group was significantly higher than that of the low/intermediate-low-risk group. Compared with the other three groups, pH, oxygen partial pressure (PO 2) and blood oxygen saturation (SO 2) in the high-risk group were significantly lower ( both P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in WBC, N, and NLR levels between the high/intermediate-high-risk group and low/intermediate-low-risk group ( both P<0.05). However there were no significant differences in PLT, PLT/MPV, PLT/PDW, and coagulation related parameters PT, FIB, APTT and D-D between groups (all P > 0.05). MPV and PDW were only significantly different between the low-risk group, intermediate-low-risk group and high-risk group ( both P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.179,95% CI:1.029-1.410, P=0.039) and PH ( OR=1.156,95% CI:1.031-1.522, P=0.041) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. The ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of NLR for in-hospital mortality. When the cutoff value of NLR was 8.38, the AUC of NLR was 0.824 (95% CI: 0.829-0.913), the corresponding sensitivity was 0.831, and the specificity was 0.887. Conclusions:NLR is correlated with risk stratification and prognosis of APE, and is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

Equity and efficiency of resource allocation for management and treatment of severe mental disorders in Shanghai in 2020 / 公共卫生与预防医学

Objective To analyze the equity and efficiency of resource allocation for management and treatment of severe mental disorders in Shanghai in 2020, and to provide a foundation for making relevant policies. Methods Data on resource allocation for the management and treatment of severe mental disorders in 17 district-level mental health institutions in 2020 were collected. The Gini coefficient was used to evaluate the equity of resource allocation by population and geographic area, and data envelopment analysis was carried out to analyze the equity of resource allocation. Results The Gini coefficients of special funds, psychiatric medical staff and actual open beds according to population were 0.24, 0.25 and 0.27, respectively. The Gini coefficients according to area were 0.54, 0.62 and 0.64, respectively. The average efficiency of resource allocation was 0.865. There were 5 institutions where DEA was effective, accounting for 29.41%. There were 12 institutions where DEA was non-effective, accounting for 70.59%. Conclusion The equity of resources allocation for the management and treatment of severe mental disorders according to population is good, but the equity of allocation based on geographic area is not high. The efficiency of resource allocation needs to be further improved. It is suggested that the resource allocation should be optimized to promote the fairness and efficiency of resource allocation for the management and treatment of severe mental disorders.

Maternal liver damage induced by cadmium exposure in pregnant mice through hypoxia inducible factor-1α-mediated upregulation in DRP1 / 环境与职业医学

Background Mitochondrial dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) regulates mitochondrial division and plays an important role in maintaining hepatocyte function. However, the role of DRP1 in cadmium exposure-induced maternal liver damage in pregnant mice remains unclear. Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of DRP1 in maternal liver damage induced by cadmium exposure during pregnancy. Methods This study consisted of animal experiments and cell experiments. (1) Animal experiments. Mice at 14 days of gestation were randomly divided into three groups: a control group, a low-dose cadmium group (LCd group: 2.5 mg·kg−1), and a high-dose cadmium group (HCd group: 5 mg·kg−1). The pregnant mice were intraperitoneally injected with cadmium chloride (CdCl2) for 6 and 24 h in the next morning. The weights of pregnant mice, uterus, maternal liver, and fetal mice were recorded after sacrifice. Serum and liver of pregnant mice were collected, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum were detected, and liver tissues were stained with HE to observe changes in liver function and liver tissue structure. The expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and DRP1 proteins in liver of pregnant mice were detected by Western blotting. (2) Cell experiments. AML12 cells were treated with CdCl2 (10 μmol·L−1) for 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h. The expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins, DRP1, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) proteins were detected. AML12 cells were pretreated with DRP1 inhibitor Mdivi-1 for 1 h and then CdCl2 (10 μmol·L−1) for 12 h to detect the expression of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins and DRP1 protein. AML12 cells were treated with Hif-1α siRNA for 48 h and CdCl2 (10 μmol·L−1) for 6 h to detect the expression of HIF-1α and DRP1 proteins. Results The results of animal experiments showed that cadmium exposure in pregnant mice had no effects on maternal liver weight and liver coefficient. However, the histomorphological changes and necrosis in hepatocytes were observed. Compared with the control group, the serum ALT and AST levels of pregnant mice in the LCd group were significantly increased after 6 h (P＜0.05), and the levels in the HCd group were significantly increased after 6 and 24 h (P＜0.05). Cadmium exposure during pregnancy significantly up-regulated HIF-1α and DRP1 expressions and down-regulated the expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins in maternal livers. In vitro cell experiments showed that the expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins was significantly decreased and HIF-1α and DRP1 protein expressions were significantly increased in the AML12 cells treated with CdCl2 for 6 h. Mdivi-1 pretreatment significantly antagonized the inhibitory effect of cadmium on the expressions of oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins in AML12 cells, while Hif-1α siRNA pretreatment significantly antagonized the up-regulative effect of cadmium on DRP1 expression in AML12 cells. Conclusion Cadmium exposure in pregnant mice may up-regulate DRP1 expression by activating HIF-1α signaling, then inhibit oxidative phosphorylation level of hepatic cells, and ultimately lead to maternal liver damage.

Effect of folic acid coated-crosslinked urethane-doped polyester elastomer nerve conduit on promoting the repair of long distance peripheral nerve injury in rats / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of folic acid coated-crosslinked urethane-doped polyester elastomer (fCUPE) nerve conduit in repairing long distance peripheral nerve injury.@*METHODS@#Thirty-six 3-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly assigned to 3 groups, each consisting of 12 rats: CUPE nerve conduit transplantation group (group A), fCUPE nerve conduit transplantation group (group B), and autologous nerve transplantation group (group C), the contralateral healthy limb of group C served as the control group (group D). A 20-mm-long sciatic nerve defect model was established in rats, and corresponding materials were used to repair the nerve defect according to the group. The sciatic function index (SFI) of groups A-C was calculated using the Bain formula at 1, 2, and 3 months after operation. The nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of the affected side in groups A-D was assessed using neuroelectrophysiological techniques. At 3 months after operation, the regenerated nerve tissue was collected from groups A-C for S-100 immunohistochemical staining and Schwann cell count in groups A and B to compare the level of nerve repair and regeneration in each group.@*RESULTS@#At 3 months after operation, the nerve conduits in all groups partially degraded. There was no significant adhesion between the nerve and the conduit and the surrounding tissues, the conduit was well connected with the distal and proximal nerves, and the nerve-like tissues in the conduit could be observed when the nerve conduit stents were cut off. SFI in group A was significantly higher than that in group C at each time point after operation and was significantly higher than that in group B at 2 and 3 months after operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SFI between groups B and C at each time point after operation ( P>0.05). NCV in group A was significantly slower than that in the other 3 groups at each time point after operation ( P<0.05). The NCV of groups B and C were slower than that of group D, but the difference was significant only at 1 month after operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups B and C at each time point after operation ( P>0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that the nerve tissue of group A had an abnormal cavo-like structure, light tissue staining, and many non-Schwann cells. In group B, a large quantity of normal neural structures was observed, the staining was deeper than that in group A, and the distribution of dedifferentiated Schwann cells was obvious. In group C, the nerve bundles were arranged neatly, and the tissue staining was the deepest. The number of Schwann cells in group B was (727.50±57.60) cells/mm 2, which was significantly more than that in group A [(298.33±153.12) cells/mm 2] ( t=6.139, P<0.001).@*CONCLUSION@#The fCUPE nerve conduit is effective in repairing long-distance sciatic nerve defects and is comparable to autologous nerve grafts. It has the potential to be used as a substitute material for peripheral nerve defect transplantation.

Research on phase modulation to enhance the feature of high-frequency steady-state asymmetric visual evoked potentials / 生物医学工程学杂志

High-frequency steady-state asymmetric visual evoked potential (SSaVEP) provides a new paradigm for designing comfortable and practical brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. However, due to the weak amplitude and strong noise of high-frequency signals, it is of great significance to study how to enhance their signal features. In this study, a 30 Hz high-frequency visual stimulus was used, and the peripheral visual field was equally divided into eight annular sectors. Eight kinds of annular sector pairs were selected based on the mapping relationship of visual space onto the primary visual cortex (V1), and three phases (in-phase[0º, 0º], anti-phase [0º, 180º], and anti-phase [180º, 0º]) were designed for each annular sector pair to explore response intensity and signal-to-noise ratio under phase modulation. A total of 8 healthy subjects were recruited in the experiment. The results showed that three annular sector pairs exhibited significant differences in SSaVEP features under phase modulation at 30 Hz high-frequency stimulation. And the spatial feature analysis showed that the two types of features of the annular sector pair in the lower visual field were significantly higher than those in the upper visual field. This study further used the filter bank and ensemble task-related component analysis to calculate the classification accuracy of annular sector pairs under three-phase modulations, and the average accuracy was up to 91.5%, which proved that the phase-modulated SSaVEP features could be used to encode high- frequency SSaVEP. In summary, the results of this study provide new ideas for enhancing the features of high-frequency SSaVEP signals and expanding the instruction set of the traditional steady state visual evoked potential paradigm.

In the observation group, modified acupuncture at sphenopalatine ganglion was given, 30 min each time, 2 times a week and with an interval of 3-4 days. In the control group, budesonide nasal spray was given. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and total non-nasal symptom score (TNNSS) were observed before treatment, after first treatment, after last treatment and 4 weeks after treatment; the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) were observed before treatment, after last treatment and 4 weeks after treatment; the recurrence condition was evaluated 4 weeks after treatment; the clinical efficacy was evaluated after last treatment in the two groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared with before treatment, the total scores and each score of TNSS, TNNSS scores after first treatment, after last treatment and 4 weeks after treatment were decreased in both groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). After first treatment, the total score, stuffy nose score, itchy nose score of TNSS and TNNSS score in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). After last treatment, the total score, stuffy nose score, itchy nose score of TNSS in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.01). Four weeks after treatment, the total score and each score of TNSS, TNNSS score in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, the scores of VAS and RQLQ after last treatment and 4 weeks after treatment were decreased in both groups (P<0.01), and those in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.01).

The total effective rate was 92.5% (37/40) in the observation group, which was higher than 72.5% (29/40) in the control group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Modified acupuncture at sphenopalatine ganglion could effectively improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with AR, and the recurrence rate is lower.

Factors associated with overweight or obesity in community patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai / 上海预防医学

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of overweight or obesity in community patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai and to explore the related factors. MethodsStratified cluster sampling method was used and the general condition， physical examination and laboratory examination data of patients with schizophrenia who voluntarily participated in 2020 free health examination of National Basic Public Health Service were analyzed. ResultsA total of 3 200 patients were included into the study ，and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 36.75% and 17.19%， respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age between 40 and 60 （OR=1.333， 95%CI： 1.030‒1.724）， intake of first-generation antipsychotics （OR=1.413， 95%CI： 1.112‒1.796）， intake of second-generation antipsychotics （OR=1.573， 95%CI： 1.288‒1.921）， high-normal blood pressure （OR=1.549， 95%CI： 1.245‒1.927）， high-abnormal blood pressure （OR=2.824， 95%CI： 2.204‒3.619）， elevated ALT （OR=1.874， 95%CI： 1.386‒2.535）， elevated FBG （OR=1.270， 95%CI： 1.066‒1.513）， and elevated TG （OR=1.652， 95%CI： 1.335‒2.044） were the related factors that associated overweight or obesity in patients with schizophrenia. ConclusionOverweight and obesity are highly prevalent among community patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai. Age between 40 and 60， taking first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics， blood pressure higher than 120/80 mmHg， elevated ALT， elevated FBG， and elevated TG are associated with overweight or obesity in patients with schizophrenia. To provide personalized health guidance， medical staff in primary health care institutions should pay more attention to high-risk groups of overweight and obesity in schizophrenia patients at annual physical examination.

Nitro-oleic acid ameliorates erectile dysfunction in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of diabetes by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis and activating the NO/cGMP pathway / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

The major vascular complications associated with diabetes make the management of diabetic mellitus erectile dysfunction (DMED) a challenging endeavor. Notable factors contributing to DMED include oxidative stress, nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway activation, and apoptosis, while nitro-oleic acid (NO2-OA) has been shown to be beneficial in treating these aspects of this condition. We, herein, investigated the effects and possible mechanisms of NO2-OA on erectile function as assessed in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of diabetes. Our results revealed that the erectile function of DMED rats was significantly impaired compared with that of the control group. However, in response to 4 weeks of NO2-OA treatment, there was an improvement in erectile function. The expression of oxidative stress-related indicators was significantly increased and the NO/cGMP pathway was impaired in the DMED group. The expression of proapoptotic factors was increased, while that of antiapoptotic factors was decreased in the DMED group. Moreover, the cell morphology in the cavernous tissue of the DMED group also changed adversely. NO2-OA treatment significantly reversed all these changes observed in the DMED group. In conclusion, NO2-OA treatment partially improved erectile function in DMED rats through mechanisms that included inhibition of oxidative stress, activation of the NO/cGMP pathway, and a reduction in apoptosis.

Modeling Methods and Influencing Factors for Age Estimation Based on DNA Methylation / 法医学杂志

Age estimation based on tissues or body fluids is an important task in forensic science. The changes of DNA methylation status with age have certain rules, which can be used to estimate the age of the individuals. Therefore, it is of great significance to discover specific DNA methylation sites and develop new age estimation models. At present, statistical models for age estimation have been developed based on the rule that DNA methylation status changes with age. The commonly used models include multiple linear regression model, multiple quantile regression model, support vector machine model, artificial neural network model, random forest model, etc. In addition, there are many factors that affect the level of DNA methylation, such as the tissue specificity of methylation. This paper reviews these modeling methods and influencing factors for age estimation based on DNA methylation, with a view to provide reference for the establishment of age estimation models.

Study on the current situation of public health services of 55 public hospitals in Anhui province / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective:To analyze the current situation of public health management and public health services in public hospitals at the second level and above in Anhui Province, for references for the government to formulate relevant policies.Methods:A stratified whole-group random sampling method was used to investigate the current status of public health services provided by 55 public hospitals at the second level and above in Anhui Province. The contents of the questionnaire included the establishment of public health management departments, operation and public health services. Descriptive analysis was conducted for all data, and chi-square test was used for comparison between groups.Results:Of the 55 hospitals, only one tertiary hospital had a separate public health department, while the public health management works of the other hospitals were scattered among the hospital infection department, medical affairs department, preventive health department and so on. 32 hospitals putted the public health services into their performance appraisal. Among the public health services provided by hospitals, the management of infectious disease diagnosis and treatment presented the best performance, as 55 hospitals had established relevant management systems, processes, business training, infectious disease reporting and other information systems. Mental health service presented the poorest performance, as only 36 hospitals had established relevant management systems.Conclusions:The public health management and service level of public hospitals in Anhui Province needed to be further improved. The government authorities should strengthen their top-level design and coordinate the public health department setup and performance evaluation mechanism of public hospitals from the institutional level. On the other hand, the public hospitals should constantly optimize their content of public health services, complement the weaknesses, and effectively improve the level of public health services based on respective conditions of the hospitals.

Spatial distribution characteristics of Keshan disease in Shandong Province / 中华地方病学杂志

Objective:To investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of Keshan disease in Shandong Province, and to provide evidence for prevention and control of Keshan disease.Methods:The incidence data of Keshan disease in Shandong Province from 1960 to 2018 were collected from Shandong Provincial Institute for Endemic Disease Control and Prevention, and a spatial database was built. Global and local spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I) were analyzed by ArcGIS 10.2 and GeoDa 1.14 softwares, respectively. Local indicators on spatial association (LISA) aggregation graph was drawn. This allowed us to investigate the spatial autocorrelation and cluster range of the distribution of Keshan disease in Shandong Province. Results:A total of 4 172 cases of Keshan disease were reported in Shandong Province with an annual incidence rate of 0 to 51.4/10 000 of the population at the township-level from 1960 to 2018. Global spatial autocorrelation analysis on the incidence of Keshan disease at the township-level showed that global Moran's I values ranged from 0.020 to 0.429 in 1962 - 1964, 1969 - 1985, 1989, 1995, 1998 - 2001 and 2004 - 2016 ( P < 0.05), thus indicating significant spatial autocorrelation overall. LISA analysis further revealed that high-high clusters of Keshan disease existed in 1960, 1962 - 1964, 1969 - 1985, 1989, 1998 - 2000 and 2002 - 2016. These clusters were predominantly distributed in three areas: Zoucheng City, Pingyi County and Sishui County in the southwest of Shandong Province; Wulian County and Ju County in the southeast of Shandong Province; and Qingzhou City, Linqu County and Yishui County in the central and middle-south of Shandong Province. Conclusions:Keshan disease exhibits significant spatial autocorrelation in Shandong Province. High-high clusters are mainly located in certain townships in the southwest, southeast, central and middle-south of Shandong Province.

Application of dual-energy CT in differential diagnosis of lung metastases and benign nodules in breast cancer / 中华放射学杂志

Objective:To investigate the application value of dual-energy CT in the differential diagnosis of lung metastases and benign nodules in breast cancer.Methods:The data of 96 patients with pathology-confirmed breast cancer at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from March 2017 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients received dual-energy chest CT scans within 2 weeks before surgery. All 96 patients were female, aged 31-84 (56±12) years. A total of 207 pulmonary nodules from 96 patients were classified into 81 lung metastases and 126 benign nodules according to pathological findings. Conventional CT features [longest diameter, boundary, location and CT value difference between arterial and venous phases (ΔCT) of nodules] and dual-energy CT parameters [standardized iodine concentration (NIC), slope of energy spectrum (λ HU) and normalized effective atomic number (nZ eff) in arterial and venous phases] were analyzed and measured. The χ 2 test, independent samples t test and Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test were used to analyze the differences of conventional CT features and dual-energy CT parameters between lung metastases and benign nodules. First, the least shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression method was used to screen conventional CT features and dual-energy CT parameters, and then logistic regression analysis was performed to screen out independent risk factors for lung metastases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the efficacy of CT parameters alone and logistic model in differentiating lung metastases from benign lung nodules. Results:There were statistically significant differences between lung metastases and benign nodules in longest diameter, ?CT, NIC, λ HU and nZ eff in arterial and venous phases (all P<0.05). LASSO regression and binary logistic regression analysis showed that the venous phase λ HU (OR=59.413, 95%CI 14.233-248.002, P<0.001) and the venous phase nZ eff (OR=4.508, 95%CI 2.787-7.290, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for predicting lung metastases. Among them, the venous phase λ HU had the highest diagnostic efficiency, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.794 and an accuracy of 74.88%. The AUC of the logistic model constructed by combining the venous phase λ HU and the venous phase nZ eff could reach 0.958, and the accuracy was improved to 92.27%, which was significantly higher than the efficacy of the two alone ( Z=6.02, 9.54, all P<0.001). Conclusion:Dual-energy CT has great application value in the identification of lung metastases and benign nodules in patients with breast cancer, especially when combined with venous phase λ HU and venous phase nZ eff, the diagnostic efficiency is further improved.

The prognostic value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio combined with BISAP score for severe hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective:To explore the value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) combined with bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score in predicting severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in patients with hypertriglyceridemia pancreatitis (HTGP).Methods:Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of HTGP were retrospectively collected in the Emergency Department of Peking University People's Hospital from January to December in 2019. Patients were assigned to two groups according to the severity of acute pancreatitis: the mild acute pancreatitis group and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group. Blood samples were taken within 24 h after the onset of HTGP for analysis. White blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and other laboratory indicators were detected. BISAP score was performed, and NLR and PLR were calculated in all patients within 24 h of the onset of HTGP. Comparison of various indicators was performed in the two groups. The risk factors of SAP patients with HTGP were analyzed by Logistic regression. The correlation of risk factors was analyzed by correlation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the optimal thresholds of NLR and PLR were calculated respectively. The BISAP score, NLR combined with BISAP score (BN score), PLR combined with BISAP score (BP score), and NLR, PLR combined with BISAP score (BNP score) were compared respectively to predict SAP in patients with HTGP.Results:A total of 82 patients were collected. There were significant differences in the proportion of patients with fever, NLR, PLR, lactate dehydrogenase, urea nitrogen, Ranson score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score and BISAP score between the two groups (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=1.859, 95% CI: 1.385-2.497, P<0.001), PLR ( OR=1.074, 95% CI: 1.036-1.112, P<0.001) and BISAP score ( OR=2.880, 95% CI: 1.578-5.258, P=0.001) were risk factors for severe HTGP. Correlation analysis confirmed that NLR and PLR were positively correlated with BISAP, APACHE Ⅱand Ranson score. The AUC of BISAP score, BN score, BP score and BNP score for predicting SAP in HTGP were 0.865 (95% CI: 0.787-0.943), 0.925 (95% CI: 0.869-0.981),0.930 (95% CI: 0.885-0.987), and 0.936 (95% CI: 0.874-0.986). Conclusions:NLR and PLR combined with BISAP score has a higher sensitivity to predict the severity of HTGP, which can predict severe pancreatitis within 24 h of the onset of HTGP, so that providing better guidance for treatment.
