Prevención del cáncer de piel en preescolares: experiencia parental en fotoprotección

Fundamento: como promedio se han generan tres millones de casos de cáncer de piel a nivel global en los últimos años. Esta situación ocurre entre otras razones por la constante exposición a la radiación solar y la no aplicación de fotoprotección. Objetivo: determinar la experiencia parental en fotoprotección durante la infancia. Método: se realizó un estudio etnográfico en la Unidad Educativa de la Parroquia San Juan del Cantón Riobamba, Provincia Chimborazo, durante el período de estudio de octubre 2022 a octubre 2023. Se realizaron 14 entrevistas a cuidadores de preescolares, los que fueron escogidos a través del muestreo no probabilístico. Se dispuso de dos técnicas de recolección de la información: el autorreportaje y la entrevista semiestructurada. Resultados: se describieron cada una de las categorías que emergieron en el estudio según el nivel de frecuencia: fotounidad, fotoexperiencia-conocimiento y fotosanidad. Se construyó un mapa representacional en el cual se determinó que la familia en sí representa la fotounidad, mediante la participación de todos sus miembros en la protección de los efectos nocivos del sol. La sombrilla que cubre a la familia refleja la fotoexperiencia-conocimiento adquiridos por los cuidadores, que actúan como protección al daño solar mediante medidas preventivas y de cuidado. El sol y sus rayos solares simbolizan la fotosanidad, que corresponde a la exposición a rayos solares y sus efectos nocivos para la salud. Conclusiones: la implementación de medidas de fotoprotección desde edades tempranas resulta de vital importancia para la prevención del cáncer de piel, por lo que es necesario brindarles a los padres información adecuada sobre los riesgos solares y las medidas preventivas.

Foundation: on average, three million cases of skin cancer have been generated globally in recent years. This situation occurs among other reasons due to constant exposure to solar radiation and non-application of photoprotection. Objective: determine parental experience in photoprotection during childhood. Method: an ethnographic study was carried out in the Educational Unit of the San Juan Parish of the Cantón Riobamba, Chimborazo Province, during the study period from October 2022 to October 2023. 14 interviews were carried out with preschool caregivers, who were chosen through of non-probabilistic sampling. Two information collection techniques were available: self-report and semi-structured interview. Results: each of the categories that emerged in the study were described according to the level of frequency: photounity, photoexperience-knowledge and photosanity. A representational map was constructed in which it was determined that the family itself represents photounity, through the participation of all its members in protecting themselves from the harmful effects of the sun. The umbrella that covers the family reflects the photo-experience-knowledge acquired by the caregivers, which act as protection from sun damage through preventive and care measures. The sun and its solar rays symbolize photosanity, which corresponds to exposure to sunlight and its harmful effects on health. Conclusions: the implementation of photoprotection measures from an early age is of vital importance for the prevention of skin cancer, so it is necessary to provide parents with adequate information about sun risks and preventive measure.

Relación entre la periodontitis y la enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica

La periodontitis es un trastorno inmunoinflamatorio de etiología microbiana causado por gérmenes únicos en la cavidad bucal que pueden diseminarse a través del torrente sanguíneo, activan la respuesta inflamatoria del huésped y favorecen la formación, maduración y exacerbación de la placa de ateroma. Varios estudios clínicos han investigado la posible relación entre la enfermedad periodontal y las enfermedades consecuentes de la aterosclerosis como la cardiopatía isquémica y la enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémica. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica exhaustiva de artículos científicos publicados en las bases de datos: Pubmed, Medline, LILACS, Scielo, en el período comprendido entre el 2012 y el 2022, en idioma español e inglés. Se utilizaron como descriptores: periodontitis, enfermedad cerebrovascular y aterosclerosis. Los reportes incluidos indican que la enfermedad cerebrovascular y la enfermedad aterosclerótica presentan las alteraciones con mayores asociaciones con la periodontitis, sin embargo, se necesitan estudios más amplios para determinar el papel de la severidad y extensión de la periodontitis en estas enfermedades.

Periodontitis is an immunoinflammatory disorder of microbial etiology caused by unique germs in the oral cavity that can spread through the bloodstream, activate the host's inflammatory response and promote the formation, maturation and exacerbation of atheromatous plaque. Several clinical studies have investigated the possible relationship between periodontal disease and diseases resulting from atherosclerosis such as ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease. An exhaustive bibliographic review of scientific articles published in the databases: Pubmed, Medline, LILACS, Scielo, in the period between 2012 and 2022, in Spanish and English was carried out. The following were used as descriptors: periodontitis, cerebrovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The included reports indicate that cerebrovascular disease and atherosclerotic disease present the alterations with the greatest associations with periodontitis, however, larger studies are needed to determine the role of the severity and extent of periodontitis in these diseases.

Síndrome de desgaste profesional en el personal de salud durante la pandemia de COVID-19 / Burnout Syndrome in Health Care Personnel During the COVID-19Pandemic

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) define el estrés laboral como una reacción que puede manifestarse ante exigencias y presiones laborales que ponen a prueba la capacidad que tiene cada persona para afrontar ciertas situaciones y que se agravan en el personal de salud que atiende pacientes con la COVID-19. Es decir, lo que resulta del desequilibrio entre las presiones y exigencias a las que se enfrenta el individuo, por una parte, y los conocimientos adquiridos por otra parte. El Síndrome de desgaste profesional, conocido también como síndrome de agotamiento emocional o psicológico, o por el anglicismo burnout, es un tipo de estrés laboral que engloba un estado de agotamiento físico, emocional y mental que conlleva a consecuencias individuales y sociales. El objetivo de esta revisión narrativa es identificar los factores de riesgo para el desarrollo del Síndrome de desgaste profesional en el personal de salud relacionado con la atención de pacientes con la COVID-19. Se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos PubMed, se incluyeron artículos originales, estudios aleatorizados, revisiones sistemáticas y otros textos en español e inglés, publicados durante el periodo 2020-2023. Los principales factores de riesgo identificados en la literatura para el desarrollo de Síndrome de desgaste profesional fueron la juventud, sexo femenino, la soltería, la carga de trabajo y el nivel de satisfacción laboral de los profesionales.

The WHO defines occupational stress as a reaction that may occur when a person is faced with work-related demands and pressures that test the individual's ability to cope with certain situations, and it exacerbates in healthcare personnel who provide care to patients with COVID-19. That is, what results from the imbalance between the pressures and demands that the individual faces, on the one hand, and the knowledge acquired on the other hand. Burnout syndrome is a type of work-related stress that encompasses a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion that leads to individual and social consequences. The objective of this systematic review is to identify the risk factors for the development of Burnout Syndrome in health personnel related to the care of patients with COVID-19. A search was carried out in the PubMed database, including original articles, randomized studies, systematic reviews, and textbooks in Spanish and English, published during the period 2020-2023. The main risk factors for the development of Burnout Syndrome identified in the literature were youth, female sex, singleness, workload and the level of job satisfaction of the professionals

Clinical Characteristics and Potential Risk Factors Analysis of Liver Injury Related to Epimedii Folium Preparation / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveThis paper aims to analyze the clinical characteristics and medication rationality of liver injury related to Epimedii Folium preparation （EP） and explore the possible risk factors of liver injury， so as to provide a reference for the safe clinical application of Epimedii Folium （EF）. MethodA retrospective analysis was conducted on liver injury cases related to EP from 2012 to 2016. ResultThe number of reported liver injury cases and the proportion of severe cases related to the use of EP show an increasing trend， indicating the objective existence of liver injury caused by EP. There are more cases of liver injury related to EP in women than in men， with an onset age range of 15-91 years old and a median onset age of 60 years old （median onset ages for men and women are 59 and 60 years old， respectively）. The time span from taking EP alone to the occurrence of liver injury is 1-386 days， with a median of 38 days. The time span from taking both EP and Western medicine to the occurrence of liver injury is 1-794 days， with a median of 34 days. EF-related liver injury preparations are mostly composed of traditional Chinese medicines that promote immunity and tonify the liver and kidney， indicating that immune stress in the body may be the mechanism of liver injury caused by the use of EP alone or in combination. There is no increasing trend of toxicity with time or dose in the liver injury caused by EP. By further exploring its risk factors， it is found that patients have unreasonable medication methods such as excessive dosage， repeated use， and multi-drug combination， which may also be one of the important risk factors for EF-related liver injury. ConclusionEP has a certain risk of liver injury and should be emphasized in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Immune stress may be the mechanism of liver injury caused by EP， and in clinical use， it is necessary to be vigilant about the risk of liver injury caused by unreasonable use and combined use with Western medicine.

Nutritional risk and its correlation with related indexes in inpatients with aplastic anemia / 公共卫生与预防医学

Objective To investigate the nutritional status in patients with aplastic anemia (AA), and to analyze the influencing factors. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 152 patients with AA admitted to West China Hospital between March 2019 and March 2022. The nutritional status of all patients was screened by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002). According to the screening criteria, the patients were divided into control group (46 cases, total NRS2002 score 0.05). The proportion of SAA cases in the malnutrition risk group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The levels of Alb and UIBC in the malnutrition risk group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the levels of SF, SI and TSAT were higher than those in the control group. In addition, the levels of SF, SI and TSAT in SAA patients were higher than those in NSAA group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that high levels of SF, SI and TSAT, and high proportion of SAA cases were risk factors of malnutrition in AA patients (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse prognosis in the malnutrition risk group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with AA have a higher risk of malnutrition, and high levels of SF, SI and TSAT are risk factors for malnutrition. The greater the risk of malnutrition, the more severe the poor prognosis.

Objective:To explore the predictors and reasons for restenosis in patients with Takayasu′s arteritis(TA) involved renal artery after plain old balloon angioplasty(POBA).Methods:The clinical data of 47 TA patients (47) with renal artery admitted to Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2020 were analyzed, including 12 man and 35 female. The age ranged from 21 to 43 years old, with an average of (28.52±10.78) years old. All patient were diagnosed as TA and underwent POBA. The patients were divided into restenosis group ( n=18) and non-restenosis group ( n=29). The patients were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, and after 6 months, the patients were followed up every 6 months. All patients were followed up from 36 to 108 months.The basic clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the length of stent and residual stenosis were also compared. Measurement data were expressed as ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. Counting data were expressed as the number of cases and percentage, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors of restenosis after balloon dilation, and the OR value and 95% confidence interval were calculated. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors for restenosis after balloon dilation. Results:All patients received POBA and operation was successfully. Restenosis was found in 18 patients, and 29 patients remained normal during the follow-up. The primary patency rate was 61.7%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that HDL-C and lesion length were the influencing factors of restenosis after POBA in TA of renal artery. The serum HDL-C level was significantly lower and the lesion was significantly longer in restenosis group than in non-restenosis group ( P<0.05). The proportion of residual stenosis>20% was higher in restenosis group than in non-restenosis group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Serum HDL-C level, lesion length may be may be independent influencing factors of restenosis after plain old balloon angioplasty in TA of the renal artery restenosis.

Risk Factors of Recurrence in Patients with Ischemic Stroke Treated with Aspirin Single Drug Antiplatelet Therapy / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To investigate the risk factors of relapse in patients with ischemic stroke using aspirin for single drug antiplatelet therapy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 patients with mild and medium ischemic stroke after 12 months of single drug treatment with aspirin,and the patients were divided into non-recurrence group and recurrence group according to the recurrence of stroke.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression model were used to explore whether the related indicators were risk factors for recurrence.The ROC curve was used to predict the critical value of risk factors.Results Univariate analysis showed that platelet count,Hcy level and the A allele at rs12041331 site of PEAR1 gene were statistically significant risk factors(P<0.05).Multifactor analysis showed that the independent risk factor for recurrence was homocysteine level[OR = 1.16(1.089-1.240),P<0.001)].The critical value of ROC prediction was 8.35 μmol/L(sensitivity 0.847,specificity 0.532).Conclusions The Hcy level,platelet count and A allele at rs12041331 site of PEAR1 gene are risk factors for recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke treated with aspirin for Single drug antiplatelet therapy.Hcy level is independent risk factor and can be used to predict the risk of recurrence.

Genome wide association study on genetic risk factors of deep vein thrombosis after trauma / 临床检验杂志

Objective To investigate the genetic risk factors of deep vein thrombosis(DVT)after trauma.Methods In a nested case-control study,50 patients with DVT after traumatic lower extremity fractures and 50 patients without DVT were recruited.The two groups were matched with gender,age and fracture sites.Preoperative venography was performed to diagnose DVT in trauma patients.Genome wide association study(GWAS)was used to investigate the genetic risk factors for preoperative DVT after traumatic lower ex-tremity fractures.Genomic DNA in leukocytes from blood sample was extracted and used for GWAS.Results GWAS was conducted based on 2 662 single nucleotide variants(SNV)which were dispersed in 144 interested genes.Ten genes were found to have signifi-cant association with trauma-related DVT,including cofactors of hemostasis mechanism,i.e.,THBD,F5,SERPIND1 and ITGA2,the factors related to vitamin K-dependent(VKD)carboxylation,i.e.,GGCX and CALU,and the members of cytochrome P450 family,i.e.,CYP1A1,CYP3A4,CYP2C19 and CYP2B6.Conclusion DVT after trauma might be regulated by the cofactors of hemostasis mechanism,the factors related to VKD carboxylation and the members of cytochrome P450 family.The results of our study may provide reference and inspiration for genetic susceptibility of preoperative DVT after trauma.

Subjective cognitive decline(SCD)refers to self-perceived persistent decline in cognitive function,but the relevant neuropsychological tests remain within the normal range.It is a possible earliest preclinical stage that can be identified in the continuous progressive duration of Alzheimer's disease(AD).Many factors are involved in the occurrence of SCD and how to identify the AD progressive SCD to ultra-early intervention is the focus of current research.This paper aims to summarize and analyze the related concepts,clinical characteristics,related influencing factors,and their relationship with the progression of AD,which may provide a reference for subsequent related studies.

Study of metabolic association between elevated fasting blood glucose and cognitive deterioration / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Objective·To analyze and explore the influencing factors that lead to cognitive deterioration in individuals with elevated fasting blood glucose(FBG)and the metabolic clues associated with changes in the risk of cognitive deterioration.Methods·Data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative(ADNI)database were downloaded,and the samples with FBG and follow-up data were selected from the database.Clinical information,including age,gender,body mass index,education years,apolipoprotein E4(APOE4)genotype and race,and corresponding metabolic indicator data,including amino acids,fatty acids,proteins and others were obtained.Based on the FBG levels and diagnosis of cognitive impairment stages in Alzheimer's disease,the subjects were categorized into four groups:normal FBG without/with cognitive deterioration,and elevated FBG without/with cognitive deterioration.The univariate analysis method,the Cox proportional hazards model,orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis(OPLSDA),and Spearman correlation analysis were employed for data analysis.Results·A total of 1 317 subjects were included,among which 1 153 had normal FBG level(>3.9 mmol/L and<6.1 mmol/L)and 164 had elevated FBG level(≥6.1 mmol/L).In the normal FBG group,275 subjects showed cognitive deterioration,while in the elevated FBG group,53 subjects showed cognitive deterioration.Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in gender and race between the normal FBG and elevated FBG group,and significant differences in age,gender,and APOE4 genotype between the groups with and without cognitive deterioration(all P<0.05).Cox regression analysis indicated that primary influencing factors for cognitive deterioration were APOE4 positivity,elevated FBG,and increasing age in order(HR=2.22,HR=1.38,HR=1.02;all P<0.05).In the analysis of baseline metabolic indicators in the groups without and with cognitive deterioration,as well as metabolic indicators before and after cognitive deterioration at different FBG levels,the results of the analysis of variance revealed that in the cognitively deteriorated population,the ratio of phospholipids carried by high-density lipoproteins(HDL)to total lipids was significantly higher;low-density lipoprotein(LDL)particle concentration and the lipids carried by LDL were significantly higher after cognitive deterioration.Correlation analysis showed that valine and leucine were significantly correlated not only with FBG level but also with phosphorylated tau(pTau)level in the plasma in the cognitively deteriorated population.Cholesterol and the ratio of phospholipids to total lipids carried by HDL were significantly correlated with pTau levels in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF).Conclusion·Compared to the individuals with normal FBG level,those with high FBG level have a significantly higher risk of cognitive deterioration.Additionally,different metabolic indicators show significant differences between the groups without and with cognitive deterioration,as well as metabolic indicators before and after cognitive deterioration at different FBG levels.Overall,LDL and its lipid content,and HDL-carried phospholipids show an increasing trend during cognitive deterioration,and the branched-chain amino acids valine and leucine are significantly correlated with pTau levels in CSF and plasma,suggesting that these metabolic markers may play an important role in cognitive deterioration.

Analysis of risk factors and severity prediction of acute pancreatitis induced by pegaspargase in children / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for asparaginase-associated pancreatitis (AAP) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after treatment with pegaspargase and evaluate the predictive value of pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, pediatric acute pancreatitis severity (PAPS) score, Ranson′s score and pediatric Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan (JPN) score for severe AAP.Methods:Cross-sectional study.The clinical data of 328 children with ALL who received pegaspargase treatment in the Department of Pediatric Hematology, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from January 2014 to August 2021, as well as their clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and imaging examinations were collected.The SOFA score at the time of AAP diagnosis, PAPS score and Ranson′s score at 48 hours after AAP diagnosis, and JPN score at 72 hours after AAP diagnosis were calculated, and their predictive value for severe AAP was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 6.7%(22/328) of children had AAP, with the median age of 6.62 years.AAP most commonly occurred in the induced remission phase (16/22, 72.7%). Three AAP children were re-exposed to asparaginase, and 2 of them developed a second AAP.Among the 22 AAP children, 16 presented with mild symptoms, and 6 with severe symptoms.The 6 children with severe AAP were all transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). There were no significant differences in gender, white blood cell count at first diagnosis, immunophenotype, risk stratification, and single dose of pegaspargase between the AAP and non-AAP groups.The age at diagnosis of ALL in the AAP group was significantly higher than that in the non-AAP group ( t=2.385, P=0.018). The number of overweight or obese children in the AAP group was also higher than that in the non-AAP group ( χ2=4.507, P=0.034). The areas under the ROC curve of children′s JPN score, SOFA score, Ranson′s score, and PAPS score in predicting severe AAP were 0.919, 0.844, 0.731, and 0.606, respectively.The JPN score ( t=4.174, P=0.001) and the SOFA score ( t=3.181, P=0.005) showed statistically significant differences between mild and severe AAP. Conclusions:AAP is a serious complication in the treatment of ALL with combined pegaspargase and chemotherapy.Older age and overweight or obesity may be the risk factors for AAP.Pediatric JPN and SOFA scores have predictive value for severe AAP.

Analysis of the Influence of High-Altitude Hypoxic Cold Environment on Fe-male Menstruation and Related Risk Factors / 实用妇产科杂志

Objective:To investigate the effect of anoxic cold environment at 4500 m altitude on female men-struation.Methods:From March 1 to March 20,2023,women in a unit at an altitude of 4500 meters were selected for reproductive health questionnaire survey,and were divided into≤6 months group,6 months to 12 months group and≥12 months group according to altitude exposure time.The changes of menstruation in each group were analyzed to explore the relevant influencing factors.Results:The total incidence of abnormal menstruation in working women in hypoxic cold environment was as high as 66.14%,and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups at different high-altitude exposure times(P＞0.05).The highest incidence of dys-menorrhea among the types of menstrual changes was 61.90%,but there was no statistically significant differ-ence between the groups at different high altitude exposure times(P＞0.05).There was a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05)in the proportion of insufficient sleep for at least 3 days per week,nervousness and anxiety,and training during their menstrual period in the women who experienced changes in their menstrual cycle com-pared to those who did not.Conclusions:Hypoxic cold environment can lead to the change of female menstrua-tion,and it is combined with sleep deficiency,tension and anxiety,and menstrual exercise.

Long-term prognosis analysis of chronic hepatitis B patients followed up for 25 years:Retrospective cohort study / 实用医学杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of age on the incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis B.Methods 279 patients with chronic hepatitis B were divided into the senior group and the younger group according to the age of the patients.The cumulative incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer during 25 years of follow-up was calculated by using SPSS and R language through the long-term follow-up of HIS system,and the risk factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results During follow-up,24 cases developed cirrhosis and 12 cases developed liver cancer.The cumulative incidence of liver cirrhosis was 1.5%,2.1%,5.4%,11.6%and 15.5%in the 5-year,10-year,15-year,20-year and 25-year group,and 5.5%,9.8%,22.9%,29.0%and 52.1%in the elderly,respectively.The difference between the younger age group and senior age group was statistically significant(P<0.001).A total of 2 risk factors(age and follow-up time)were included in the regression model.Two cases in the younger group developed into liver cancer after 17 and 21 years of follow-up,respectively.The cumulative incidence rates at 5,10,15,20 and 25 years were 1.8%,3.8%,18.5%,21.8%and 26.7%.A total of five factors(initial age,HBV-DNA load,HBV-DNA turned negative before the end-point,follow-up time,and sex)were included in the regression model.Conclusions The incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer in CHB patients aged≥40 years,especially in male patients,is significantly higher than younger CHB patients.Timely initiation of antiviral therapy can delay disease progression and reduce the incidence of termi-nal liver disease.Whether antiviral therapy should be initiated for people aged 30 to 40 years remains to be studied.
