RESUMO
Objective To retrospectively analyze the epidemiological trend of children with lower gastrointestinal bleeding in recent 10 years,and investigate the change of their disease burden,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the accurate prevention and control of children's lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods A total of 671 children with "lower gastrointestinal bleeding" who were diagnosed in our hospital from 2012 to 2021 were collected as research subjects. To analyze the microscopic examination rate and common etiology of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in children in the past 10 years,as well as the epidemiological characteristics of different age groups, different regions and different basic diseases; Calculate and compare the rate of disability life lost (YLD), early death life lost (YLL) and disability adjusted life year (DALY) of children with lower gastrointestinal bleeding within 10 years, and calculate the annual change percentage (AAPC) to analyze the change trend of disease burden. Results The microscopic examination rate of children with lower gastrointestinal bleeding showed a trend of increasing in the past 10 years (P18 years old, hypertension and gastroenteritis. The DALY rate, YLL rate and YLD rate caused by lower gastrointestinal bleeding in the past 10 years showed an upward trend (P<0.05). Conclusion The microscopic examination rate of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in children was graduallyincreasing,and the prevalence rate of basic diseases such as boys,hypertension and gastroenteritis was increasing;in addition,the disease burden caused by children's lower gastrointestinal bleeding was also increasing year by year and should be protected.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the change trend of etiological burden of disease of liver cancer in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019.Methods:The descriptive epidemiologic method was conducted. Based on the Global Burden of Disease data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, the data related to liver cancer burden caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, alcohol, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other factors, including number of new cases, the crude incidence rate, age-specific incidence rate, number of deaths, crude mortality rate and age-specific mortality rate, in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019 were collected. The age-standardized rate was calculated based on the world standardized population structure in 2019 from the Global Burden of Disease data. Observation indicators: (1) the incidence of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019; (2) the mortality of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019; (3) the change trend of age-specific incidence rate of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019; (4) the age-specific mortality rate of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, percentages and ratio. Based on the junction point regression model, the Joinpoint software (V.4.9.1.0) was used to calculate the annual percentage change, average annual percentage change (AAPC) and 95% confidence intervals ( CI) of age-specific incidence rate and age-specific mortality rate of liver cancer caused by different etiologies. Results:(1) The incidence of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the number of new cases of liver cancer in Chinese population decreased from 236 825 to 210 462, and the crude incidence rate decreased from 20.01/100,000 to 14.80/100,000. The new cases of liver cancer caused by HBV infection, HCV infection and other factors showed a downward trend, and the absolute change rates were ?14.76%, ?3.98% and ?26.67%, respectively. The new cases of liver cancer caused by alcohol and NASH showed a increase trend, and the absolute change rates were 9.31% and 13.91%, respectively. (2) The mortality of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the number of deaths of liver cancer in Chinese population decreased from 232 449 to 187 700, and the crude mortality rate decreased from 19.64/100,000 to 13.20/100,000. The number of deaths of liver cancer caused by HBV infection, HCV infection and other factors showed a down-ward trend, and the absolute change rates were ?23.34%, ?10.99% and ?33.75%, respectively. The number of deaths of liver cancer caused by alcohol showed a slow downward trend, and the absolute change rate was ?0.51%. The number of deaths of liver cancer caused by NASH showed a increase trend, and the absolute change rate was 6.03%. (3) The change trend of age-specific incidence rate of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the AAPC of age-specific incidence rate of liver cancer caused by HBV infection, HCV infection, alcohol, NASH and other factors was ?3.61%(95% CI as ?4.10% to ?3.11%), ?3.57%(95% CI as ?3.99% to ?3.14%), ?2.79%(95% CI as ?3.24% to ?2.33%), ?2.65%(95% CI as ?3.09% to ?2.21%) and ?3.62%(95% CI as ?4.05% to ?3.19%), respectively. (4) The age-specific mortality rate of liver cancer caused by different etiologies in the Chinese population from 1990 to 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the AAPC of age-specific mortality rate of liver cancer caused by HBV infection, HCV infection, alcohol, NASH and other factors was ?3.92%(95% CI as ?4.42% to ?3.41%), ?3.90%(95% CI as ?4.45% to ?3.35%), ?3.15%(95% CI as ?3.71% to ?2.58%), ?2.86%(95% CI as ?3.34% to ?2.38%) and ?4.09%(95% CI as ?4.64% to ?3.55%), respectively. Conclusions:From 1990 to 2019, the liver cancer burden of the Chinese population shows an overall downward trend, in which the liver cancer burden caused by HBV and HCV infection decreases the most, but HBV and HCV infection is still the main reason for the heavy burden of liver cancer. The age-specific incidence rate and age-specific mortality rate of liver cancer caused by alcohol and NASH show a downward trend, but the number of new cases of liver cancer caused by alcohol and NASH shows significant growth. The liver cancer burden caused by other factors shows a downward trend.

RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the changes in the number and workload of pediatricians, for evidences in further optimizing the allocation of pediatrician resources and formulating relevant policies in China.Methods:According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics and the " China Health and Health Statistics Yearbook", descriptive analysis was made to investigate the changes in the number and workload of pediatricians in China from 2010 to 2019.Results:During 2010 and 2019, the number of pediatric practitioners(assistants) increased from 115 800 to 158 500, and the growth rate was faster than that of the children aged 0-14 years, but slower than that of overall medical practitioners(assistants). The number of pediatric practitioners(assistants) per thousand children in China had grown steadily from 0.52 to 0.67, compared with the burden and the workload of medical practitioners nationwide, the workload of pediatricians was still relatively heavy.Conclusions:The number of pediatricians had increased gradually between 2010 and 2019, and the effects of various policies began to work, while the workload was still heavy. It is recommended to further develop a salary system and supporting policies in line with the characteristics of pediatrics sector, and focus on such problems as unbalanced and inadequate distribution of pediatricians.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To screen the optimal fitting model for the change trend of the number of new cases of occupational diseases in Guangdong Province by using linear and nonlinear regression models. Method The number of new cases of occupational diseases in Guangdong Province from 2003 to 2017 was used as the dependent variable(■) and the year(time) as the independent variable(x).Eleven mathematical models including linear regression, cubic function, quadratic function, composite function, growth function, exponential function, logistic function, power function, logarithmic function, S-type function and inverse function were used to fit the data, and the best-fit model was selected to describe and verify the change of new occupational diseases. RESULTS: Among the 11 mathematical models, the determination coefficient of fit results of cubic curve regression model was the highest(0.94, P<0.01), and the fit effect was the best. The fitting curve was ■. The cubic curve regression model was used to fit the number of new cases of occupational diseases in Guangdong Province from 2003 to 2019. The results showed that the measured value of new cases in all those years, except 2011, was within 95% confidence interval of the fitting value. The median(25 th, 75 th percentile) of absolute relative deviation between the fitting value and the actual value was 8.9%(4.3%, 14.7%). CONCLUSION: The regression model based on cubic curve can better fit the incidence of occupational diseases and can be used to describe the occurence of occupational diseases.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analysis the dynamic change of cytokines in patients with occupational trichloroethylene-induced medicamentosa-like dermatitis(OMDT) at the initial stage of treatment. METHODS: Twenty-two cases of early onset OMDT with no glucocorticoid treatment history were selected as the research subjects by judgment sampling method. Blood samples were collected on the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th weeks after admission and on the day of hospital discharge. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interferon-γ(IFN-γ), interleukin(IL)-5, IL-6 and IL-10 in plasma samples were measured by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The five cytokines in patients with exfoliative dermatitis showed an increasing trend at the initial stage of treatment. Among them, the levels of TNF-α, IL-5 and IL-10 reached a peak and then dropped rapidly to form a plateau, and the levels of IFN-γ and IL-6 were slightly increased and the duration of increase was shorter than that of other cytokines. The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-5 and IL-6 in patients with erythema multiforme remained within the detection limits in the detection process. Only a few patients showed a short-term increase, the IL-10 level showed a slight increase at the initial stage and then decreased to the plateau stage. The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-6 in patients with bullous epidermal necrolysis increased rapidly at the initial detection stage for a short period of time, and then decreased sharply. The level of IL-5 remained at the detection limit, and the IL-10 level showed alternative rising and falling pattern. Part of the dynamic change of cytokines in patients with exfoliative dermatitis and bullous epidermal necrolysis was similar. CONCLUSION: The levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-5, IL-6, and IL-10 in OMDT patients changed with the progression of the disease at the early treatment stage, and the degree of change was related to the type of rash. Among them, the levels of TNF-α and IL-10 showed dynamic changes due to the progression of the disease, which could be considered as effect biomarkers to evaluate the severity and progression of the disease, and provide a reference for the rational treatment of patients.
RESUMO
Objective@#To analyze the changing trends in etiologies of hospitalized patients with liver disease and provide clinical basis for the formulation of medical policy.@*Methods@#Patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases from 2006 to 2014 were selected as the research subjects. Data of patients with liver diseases were retrospectively analyzed to determine the proportion of main causes of infection, the proportion of different viral infections in viral hepatitis, and the changing trends in proportion of hepatitis B in different age groups. Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistical analysis.@*Results@#During 9 consecutive years, the overall proportion of inpatients with liver disease decreased continuously, but the number of patients increased. The top five etiologies of liver diseases were viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The proportion of viral hepatitis decreased gradually, and the proportion of drug-induced liver disease and autoimmune liver disease increased markedly. Among viral hepatitis patients, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and hepatitis E were in the top three, with hepatitis B stabilized at around 70%, and the proportion of hepatitis C showed an upward trend. The hospitalization time of hepatitis B patients was gradually shortened, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 205.31, P < 0.001), and the hepatitis B patients were mainly distributed in age groups 31-40, 41-50, and 51-60, the total proportion was above 60%. The difference between the different years of the same age group was not evident, but the proportion of hepatitis B patients decreased gradually in the 14-23 –year- old age group, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 19.51, P = 0.01).@*Conclusion@#Liver disease still holds a principal position in the distribution of infectious diseases, and especially the cause of non-infectious liver disease require sufficient attention and concern. The use of hepatitis B vaccine has effectively diminished the infection rate, but the prevention and control of chronic hepatitis B infection is still facing challenges.
RESUMO
Objective This work was to study the distribution of Acinetobacter baumannii and analyze the change in the trend of its resistance,so as to provide experimental basis for clinical rational drug usage.Methods The identification of isolates were car-ried out by using VITEK-2 compact automatic identification system,and drug susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method,the results were carried out according to the Standard of CLSI 2014 version for interpretation,and data analysis was per-formed with WHONET5.6.Results A total of 981 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii had been isolated from the samples in 2013 to 2015,most of them were isolated from respiratory samples accounted for 80.4%,followed by the urines and other body secre-tion.The distribution of this kind of bacteria mostly was 30.1% in ICU,departments of Emergency observation(16.0%),respirato-ry diseases(15.7%)and senior cadres(10.8%).The drug resistance of this kind of bacteria to polymyxin B and cefoperazone/sul-bactam was to a minimum of lower than 5.0%,and has relatively high sensitivity to amikacin and minocycline(<30.0%).And the resistance to other antimicrobials were higher than 30.0%,and the resistance to Nitrofurantoin and cefotaxime were higher than 94.0%.The most drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii in 2014 were lower than those in 2013,but the most drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii in 2015 were increased significantly as well as strains had been isolated from the samples.Conclusion The main source for isolation of Acinetobacter baumannii in this hospital mainly comes from sputum specimens of patients in ICU, departments of emergency observation,respiratory diseases and senior cadres.The high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance of this kind of bacteria should be prevented and controlled in nosocomial infection,and rational application of antimicrobial agents in order to reduce the spread of drug-resistant strains.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the changing trend of mortality and the spectrum regarding causes of death in the population of Hunan, and to analyze the health-related major diseases.Methods With retrospective study method, a sample survey on causes of death and the related information was carried out from 2004 to 2005 among the residents in Hunan province. Results were compared with the data from a retrospective survey on causes of death in Hunan during 1973-1975 and 1990-1992, respectively. Results The crude mortality rates and the standardized mortality ratios (SMR) of the reisidents in Hunan were 901.59/100 000 and 865.14/100 000 during the period of 1973-1975 while 588.64/100 000 and 537.42/100 000 druing the period of 1990-1992, and 608.27/100 000 and 413.67/100 000 during the period of 2004-2005, respectively. During the past 30 years, the SMR of the residents in Hunan decreased by 52.18% and the descending range from the rural areas was more than that of the urban areas, and higher in females than in males. The death proportion of infectious diseases, maternal and perinatal diseases, nutritional deficiencies decreased significantly (P<0.01), but the death proportion of chronic non-communicable diseases increased significantly (P<0.01). The changing ranges of the former two proportions were both larger in the rural areas than those in the urban areas. The highest proportions of deaths due to injury and poisoning during the past 30 years were both seen in the 5 year olds, followed by the age groups of 25 year olds (P<0.01). During the period of 2004-2005, the death proportion of all the infectious diseases,maternal/perinatal diseases and nutritional deficiencies was 8.01% altogether, and those of chronic non-communicable diseases, injury and poisoning were 80.66% and 11.33%, respectively. During the past 30 years, the SMR of the three kinds of diseases all significantly decreased, more significantly seen in infectious diseases, maternal and perinatal diseases, and nutritional deficiencies but less in chronic non-communicable diseases. Among the death cases of chronic non-communicable diseases,the SMR of cerebrovascular disease, malignant tumor, and heart disease showed an increasing tendency and the sequences of them had been advanced to the first, the second, and the fourth in the death ranking during the period of 2004-2005, respectively. Conclusion The SMRs of the residents in the urban and rural areas from Hunan province showed a declining tendency.Cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors had become the important diseases affecting the health of the people, while injury and poisoning had otherwise topped the causes of death among children and adolescents in Hunan province.
