Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of modified Hartel approach in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia with radiofrequency thermocoagulation. Methods: A total of 89 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia in Nanjing Drum Tower Clinical College of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2021 to July 2022 were prospectively included, and were divided into experimental group (n=45, modified Hartel approach: selecting 2.0 cm lateral to and 1.0 cm below angulus oris as insertion point) and control group (n=44, traditional Hartel approach: selecting 2.5 cm lateral to the angulus oris as insertion point) according to the random number table method. There were 19 males and 26 females in the experimental group, and aged (67.6±8.8) years. Meanwhile, there were 19 males and 25 females in the control group, and aged (64.8±11.7) years. All the patients were treated by CT-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation. The success rate of one-time puncture, number of punctures, the time of puncture, operation time, numerical rating scale (NRS) scores and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: The success rate of one-time puncture in experimental group was 64.4% (29/45), which was higher than that in control group 31.8% (14/44) (P<0.05). The number of punctures [M (Q1, Q3)], the time of puncture [M (Q1, Q3)] and operation time in the experimental group were 1 (1, 2), 218 (206, 378) s, (19.9±2.7) min, which were less than those of control group [2 (1, 3), 390 (231, 598) s, (27.0±3.9) min] (all P<0.05). The NRS scores [M (Q1, Q3)] of 1 day, 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the experimental group were 1 (1, 2), 1 (0, 2) and 1(0, 1), respectively, which were lower than the baseline level [6 (6, 7)] (all P<0.05). The NRS scores [M (Q1, Q3)] of 1 day, 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the control group were 1 (1, 2), 1 (0, 2) and 1 (0, 2), respectively, which were lower than the baseline level [6 (6, 7)] (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of nausea and vomiting, facial numbness, and decreased masticatory muscle strength between the two groups (all P>0.05) In the experimental group, two patients had puncture needles into the oral cavity, with timely detection and replacement of puncture needles, and no infection occurred. There was no cerebrospinal fluid leakage and decreased corneal reflex in both groups. Conclusion: The modified Hartel approach can significantly improve the success rate of one-time puncture via foramen ovale, reduce the operation time and the incidence of postoperative facial swelling, which is a safe and effective puncture method.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the genotypes and clinical characteristics of homozygous family hypobetalipoproteinemia (Ho-FHBL) caused by apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene variations. Methods: The clinical, laboratory, genetic, and liver histology data of a boy with Ho-FHBL managed in the hepatology ward of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University in May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The literature was searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China VIP database, China Biology Medicine disc and PubMed database (up to May 2022) with "familial hypobetalipoproteinemia" or "hypobetalipoproteinemias" or "hypo beta lipoproteinemia" or "hypolipoproteinemias" as the search terms. All relevant literatures were reviewed to summarize the clinical and genetic features of Ho-FHBL caused by APOB gene variations. Results: The male patient was admitted to the hospital due to abnormal liver function tests for 8 months at the age of 4 years and 6 months. Blood biochemistry showed transaminitis and abnormally low serum levels of lipids. Liver biopsy revealed fatty liver with inflammation and early cirrhosis (Brunt score was F3G2S4). Whole exome sequencing revealed two novel variants of APOB gene (c.3745C>T, p.Q1249 * from the father and c.4589_4592delinsAGGTAGGAGGTTTAACTCCTCCTACCT, p.T1530Kfs * 12 from the mother). He was diagnosed as Ho-FHBL caused by APOB gene compound heterozygous variations. Literature search retrieved 36 English literatures and 0 Chinese literature. A total of 55 (23 males and 32 females) Ho-FHBL cases, including this one, were caused by 54 APOB gene pathogenic variants (23 frameshift, 15 nonsense, 7 missense, 8 splice and 1 gross deletions). The age of the last follow-up was between 1 month and 75 years. Among them, 28 cases had lipid malabsorption, 19 cases had early dysplasia, 12 cases had no symptoms. Twenty-one patients had symptoms related to fat soluble vitamin deficiency, including 14 cases of acanthocytosis, 10 cases of neurological symptoms, and 6 cases of ocular lesions. Thirty-four patients had liver involvement, including 25 cases of elevated transaminase, 21 cases of fatty liver, 15 cases of hepatomegaly, 9 cases of liver fibrosis, 3 cases of liver cirrhosis, 1 case of hepatic hemangioma and 1 case of liver neoplastic nodule. Conclusions: The variants of APOB gene in Ho-FHBL are mainly frameshift and nonsense variations. Patients may have lipid malabsorption and (or) early dysplasia, or symptom-free. Liver involvement is common.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of life expectancy (LE) and health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) in Guangzhou from 2010 to 2019, and quantize the comprehensive impact of different causes and sequelae on health. Methods: The LE, HALE, and cause-excluded health adjusted life expectancy (CEHALE) were estimated using cause-of-death surveillance datasets from Guangzhou Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2010 to 2019 and open data from the Global Burden of Disease Study. Joinpoint log-linear regression model was used to analyze the temporal trend and described spatial distribution. Results: In 2019, the LE in residents in Guangzhou was 82.9 years (80.1 years in men and 85.9 years in women), and the HALE was 75.6 years (74.0 years in men and 77.3 years in women). Compared with the urban fringe, the central urban area had higher LE and HALE, and the differences between LE and HALE were small. The LE and HALE in Guangzhou showed an increasing trend from 2010 to 2019. The LE increased by 2.8 years (AAPC=0.4, 95%CI: 0.3-0.4), with the increase of 2.8 years in men and 2.9 years in women. The HALE increased by 2.4 years (AAPC=0.3, 95%CI: 0.3-0.4), with the increase of 2.5 years in men and 2.2 years in women. The median healthy life lost due to communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases was 6.2 years (AAPC=-4.2, 95%CI: -5.3--3.1), while the median healthy life lost due to non-communicable diseases was 14.7 years (AAPC=1.6, 95%CI: 0.9-2.3), the median healthy life expectancy reduced by injury was 6.3 years (AAPC=-3.5, 95%CI: -4.5--2.6). Musculoskeletal disorders, skin and subcutaneous diseases, cardiovascular diseases, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes and kidney diseases were the top five diseases causing healthy life expectancy loss. Conclusion: The LE and HALE in residents in Guangzhou increased steadily from 2010 to 2019, but the quality of life in the urban fringe was lower than that of the central urban area. Non-communicable diseases were the leading causes of healthy life expectancy loss. Health policies and prevention measures should be developed according to area specific characteristics, and social medical resources should be rationally allocated to key diseases to reduce their disease burden.

Abstract
Pt counter electrodes (CEs) have been widely used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to their high conductivity and electrocatalytic activity. However, industrialization of DSSCs is limited by shortcomings of Pt CEs such as being expensive, and weak corrosion resistance in electrolytes. Reported in this paper is two simple approaches to Pt-free Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs. Nanocrystalline Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs were fabricated via two processes, that is, a solvothermal process to Cu1.8S1-xSex powder followed by CE fabrication, and a solvothermal process and CE fabrication to Cu1.8S films followed by selenylation to Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs. Photoelectric conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 4.02% and 4.16% were achieved respectively by the as-fabricated Cu1.8S1-xSex CEs. Compared with the cells with Cu1.8S CEs fabricated by the same processes, increases of 19% and 45% were achieved, respectively. The PCE improvement comes from the enhancement of charge transfer at the CE/electrolyte interface induced by the selenylation of the CEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform an epidemiological investigation on a case with visceral leishmaniasis in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and to identify the source of infection, so as to illustrate the transmission chain and assess the risk of local leishmaniasis transmission. METHODS The medical data were collected from a case with visceral leishmaniasis in Zhengzhou City, and the patient's bone marrow smears were detected by microscopy. Serum anti-Leishmania antibody test and PCR assay were performed among high-risk residents and all dogs in the village where the patient lived. Sandflies were captured using light traps and artificial traps, and the captured female Phlebotomus chinensis was subjected to PCR assay. The internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) gene was amplified with a nested PCR assay using the genomic DNA extracted from visceral leishmaniasis patients, positive dogs and sandflies, and the sequences were aligned with those download from NCBI. In addition, a phylogenetic tree was created based on the ITS1 gene. RESULTS The visceral leishmaniasis patient had recurrent irregular fever, reduced complete blood counts, low hemoglobin, and a large number of Leishmania amastigotes in bone marrow smears, and was therefore diagnosed as visceral leishmaniasis. Both rk39 rapid diagnostic test and PCR assay tested negative among 324 residents living neighboring the patient's residence, while 21.39% (43/201) dogs were positive for rk39 rapid diagnostic test and 13.93% (28/201) positive for PCR assay. There were 17 female Ph. chinensis tested positive for Leishmania (0.82%) by PCR assay, and the ITS gene sequences from visceral leishmaniasis patients, positive dogs and sandflies shared a 100% homology with L. infantum. The Leishmania species was therefore characterized as L. infantum. CONCLUSIONS L. infantum infection occurs in visceral leishmaniasis patients, dogs and sandflies in Zhengzhou City, indicating a complete transmission chain and a high transmission risk of visceral leishmaniasis by L. infantum. Intensified control measures are required to prevent local transmission of leishmaniasis in Zhengzhou City.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effects and mechanisms of three commonly used epidural coverings, gelatin sponge, bovine Achilles tendon extract collagen and polyester urethane fiber, in preventing epidural scar adhesions after laminectomy in rats. Methods: Forty-eight adult Wistar rats were excised from L2 to L5 lamina to establish laminectomy models, and were divided into four groups with random number table according to different covering materials (12 rats in each group): blank group (group A), gelatin sponge group (absorbable, group B), polyester urethane fiber group (non-absorbable, group C) and bovine Achilles tendon extract collagen group (absorbable, group D). At 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively, the spinal tissues of the operated area were taken for gross observation (Rydell scar adhesion rating criteria) and histological observation (Nussbaum criteria); and the expression of three scar proliferation-related cytokines, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), growth transforming factor β1 (TGF-β1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), were measured in the peridural tissues. The differences between the indices in each group were analyzed and compared. Results: All 48 rats survived, and gross and histological findings at 4 and 12 weeks showed no dural adhesions in the gelatin sponge and bovine Achilles tendon extract collagen groups, adhesions in the polyester urethane fiber group, and heavy adhesions and spinal cord compression in the blank control group. There were significant differences in the Rydell grade and Nussbaum histological score between the absorbable material group and the non-absorbable group (both P<0.05). Western protein blotting at 4 and 12 weeks confirmed that the expression levels of three cytokines, including bFGF, TGF-β1, and VEGF, were lower in the absorbable material group than those in the non-absorbable group (all P<0.01). Immunofluorescence tests at 12 weeks confirmed that the expression of bFGF, TGF-β1 and VEGF were all lower in the gelatin sponge group (9.81±0.81, 12.42±2.35, 8.63±1.76) and the bovine Achilles tendon extract collagen group (12.70±2.02, 8.23±1.03, 10.19±2.67) than those in the polyester urethane fiber group (33.94±2.03, 30.29±2.76, 25.79±1.21) (all P<0.01). Conclusions: Bovine achilles tendon extract collagen and gelatin sponge can effectively reduce the hyperplasia of scar and dural adhesions after spinal surgery.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the associations between sleep status and the risk for kidney stone in Chinese adults. Methods: This study used baseline and long-term follow-up data of China Kadoorie Biobank. After excluding those with self-reporting of diagnosed chronic kidney disease and cancer and those with extreme values of sleep duration at baseline survey, 501 701 participants were included in this study. The information about their sleep status were collected, including insomnia symptoms, daytime sleepiness, nap habit, snoring and sleep duration. The sleep score was constructed based on insomnia symptoms, daytime sleepiness, and sleep duration, ranging from 0 to 3. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association of sleep status with the risk for kidney stone, including individual sleep factors and combined sleep score. Results: During the follow-up for average (10.7±2.2) years, 12 381 cases of kidney stone were recorded for the first time. Compared with participants without insomnia symptoms, the multivariable-adjusted HR of kidney stone in those with difficulty falling asleep and waking up early were 1.12 (95%CI: 1.06-1.18) and 1.06 (95%CI: 1.00-1.12), respectively. There was no statistically significant association of kidney stone risk with sleeping pill use, daytime sleepiness, nap habit, or snoring. Compared with participants with sleep duration ≥7 hours per day, the HR of kidney stone in those with sleep duration <7 hours per day was 1.13 (95%CI: 1.08-1.18). Compared with participants with sleep score of 3 (highest sleep quality), the HR of kidney stone in those with sleep score of 2, 1, and 0 were 1.08 (95%CI: 1.03-1.13), 1.16 (95%CI: 1.10-1.23), and 1.19 (95%CI: 1.03-1.37), respectively. Conclusion: In China, adults with insomnia symptoms or short sleep duration have increased risk for kidney stone.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the role of pancreas multidisciplinary team(MDT) clinic in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases,patient compliance with MDT advice,and the impact of MDT on the postoperative survival of patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods: The study included 927 patients(554 males,373 females,aged (58.1±13.3)years (range: 15 to 89 years)) that had visited the pancreas MDT clinic of Zhongshan Hospital from May 2015 to December 2021,and 677 patients(396 males, 281 females, aged (63.6±8.9)years(range: 32 to 95 years)) who underwent radical surgery and with pathologically confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma from January 2012 to December 2020,of whom 79 patients had attended the pancreas MDT. The clinical and pathological data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Diseases were classified in accordance with 2010 WHO classification of tumors of the digestive system and usual clinical practices. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for drawing the survival curve and calculating the survival rate. The univariate analysis was done by Log-rank test and the multivariate analysis was done by COX proportional hazards model. Survival rates were compared using χ2 test. Results: Among the 927 patients that had visited the MDT clinic,233 patients(25.1%) were referred due to undetermined diagnosis. A direct diagnosis was made in 109 cases (46.8%,109/233) by the MDT clinic, of which 98 were consistent with the final diagnosis,resulting in an accuracy of 89.9%(98/109). The direct diagnosis rate in the recent years(36.6%(41/112),from June 2019 to December 2021) decreased compared to that in the previous years(56.2%(68/121),from May 2015 to May 2019),yet the accuracy in the recent years(90.2%,37/41) was basically the same as before (89.7%,61/68). The rate of compliance of the entire cohort was 71.5%(663/927), with the compliance rate in the recent two and a half years(81.4%,338/415) remarkably higher than that in the previous four years(63.4%,325/512). Patients with pancreatic cancer that attended the MDT exhibited a trend toward longer median postoperative survival than patients that did not attend the MDT,but the difference was not statistically significant(35.2 months vs.30.2 months,P>0.05). The 1-year and 3-year survival rates of patients that attended the MDT were significanly higher than patients that did not attend the MDT(88.6% vs. 78.4%,P<0.05;32.9% vs. 21.9%,P<0.05,respectively),but the 5-year survival rate was not statistically different(7.6% vs. 4.8%,P>0.05). Conclusions: The pancreas MDT clinic is an accurate and convenient way to diagnose intractable pancreatic diseases,and in the recent years the patients' compliance rate with MDT advice has increased. Pancreatic cancer patients that have attended the MDT have higher 1-year and 3-year postoperative survival rates,but the long-term survival benefits of MDT still needs to be proved by clinical studies on a larger scale.

Abstract
Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) in the comprehensive treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods: Literatures were screened from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CBM, Wanfang Data, VIP and CNKI from the inception date to May 2021 to collect the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of TNT followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCRT) followed by TME in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. The data of overall survival, disease-free survival, R0 radical resection rate, pathological complete response (pCR) rate, T downstaging rate, the incidence of adverse events ≥ grade III, including neutropenia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, radiation dermatitis and nervous system toxicity, and the morbidity of complications within postoperative 30 days of the two groups were extracted from the included literatures. Review Manager 5.3 software was utilized for statistical meta-analysis. Results: Nine RCTs were finally enrolled including 2430 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with nCRT group, patients in TNT group had longer overall survival (HR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.65-0.97, P=0.03) and higher pCR rate (RR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.44-2.08, P<0.01) with significant differences. Besides, there were no significant differences between two groups in disease-free survival (HR=0.86, 95%CI:0.71-1.05, P=0.14), R0 radical resection rate (RR=1.02, 95%CI: 0.99-1.06, P=0.17) and T downstaging rate (RR=1.04, 95%CI: 0.89-1.22, P=0.58) between two groups. In terms of treatment safety, the incidence of adverse events ≥ grade III (RR=1.09, 95%CI: 0.70-1.70, P=0.70) and morbidity of complications within postoperative 30 days (RR=1.07, 95%CI: 0.97-1.18, P=0.19) did not significantly differ between two groups. Conclusions: In the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer, TNT may bring more survival benefits than nCRT and does not increase the incidence of adverse events and postoperative complications. Therefore, TNT could be used as a recommended treatment for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most frequent genitourinary cancers, with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The connection of m6A-related lncRNAs with PD-L1 and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in BLCA prognosis was extensively investigated in this study, which could suggest novel therapeutic targets for further investigation. 30 m6A-associated lncRNAs with predictive values from the TCGA data set were identified with co-expression analysis. Cluster2 was correlated with a poor prognosis, upregulated PD-L1 expression, and higher immune ratings. Cluster2 had larger amounts of resting CD4 memory-activated T cells, M2 macrophages, neutrophils, and NK cells infiltration. "CHEMOKINE SIGNALING PATHWAY" was the most significantly enriched signaling pathway according to GSEA, which may play an important role in the different immune cell infiltrates between cluster1/2. The risk model for m6A-related lncRNAs could be employed in a prognostic model to predict BLCA prognosis, regardless of other clinical features. Collectively, m6A-related lncRNAs were linked to PD-L1 and TIME, which would dynamically affect the number of tumor-infiltrating immune cells. m6A-related lncRNAs may be key mediators of PD-L1 expression and immune cells infiltration and may strongly affect the TIME of BLCA.

Abstract
In the surgical treatment of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG), the scope of lymph node dissection, surgical approach selection, extent of tumor resection and digestive tract reconstruction have always been controversial, with the digestive tract reconstruction in AEG facing many challenges especially. The digestive tract reconstruction is related to the extent of resection. At present, the digestive tract reconstruction after total gastrectomy includes Roux-en-Y anastomosis, jejunum interposition and its derivatives. According to different reconstruction methods, they can be divided into tube anastomosis, linear anastomosis and manual anastomosis. Anti-reflux digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy mainly includes esophagogastric anastomosis, interposition jejunum and double channel anastomosis. At present, double channel anastomosis is the most common reconstruction method in China. Based on the concept of interposition tubular stomach and reconstruction of gastric angle for anti-reflux, we propose "Giraffe" anastomosis, which moves artificial fundus and His angle downward to retain more residual stomach, showing good gastric emptying and anti-reflux effect. In this paper, combined with our clinical experience and understanding, we discuss the selection and technical key points of digestive tract reconstruction methods in AEG, and suggest that composite anti-reflux mechanism design may be the development trend of anti-reflux reconstruction in the future. The composite mechanism includes the retention of gastric electrical pacemaker in greater curvature of the middle part of gastric body to increase the emptying capacity of residual stomach, the reconstruction of gastric fundus and His angle anti-reflux barrier, and the establishment of an interposition tubular stomach acting as a buffer zone in Giraffe construction, and so on.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the functional outcomes and postoperative complications of Cheng's GIRAFFE reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy. Methods: A descriptive case series study was conducted. Clinical data of 100 patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who underwent Cheng's GIRAFFE reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy in Cancer Hospital of University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (64 cases), Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine (24 cases), Lishui Central Hospital (10 cases), Huzhou Central Hospital (1 case) and Ningbo Lihuili Hospital (1 case) from September 2017 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Of 100 patients, 64 were males and 36 were females; the mean age was (61.3 ± 11.1) years and the BMI was (22.7±11.1) kg/m(2). For TNM stage, 68 patients were stage IA, 24 were stage IIA and 8 were stage IIB. Postoperative functional results and postoperative complications of radical gastrectomy with Giraffe reconstruction were analyzed and summarized. Gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ) score and postoperative endoscopy were used to evaluate the occurrence of reflux esophagitis and its grade (grade N, grade A, grade B, grade C, and grade D from mild to severe reflux). The continuous data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as (mean ± standard deviation), and those with skewed distribution were presented as median (Q1, Q3). Results: All the 100 patients successfully completed R0 resection, including 77 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery and 23 patients undergoing laparotomy. The Giraffe anastomosis time was (38.6±14.0) min; the blood loss was (73.0±18.4) ml; the postoperative hospital stay was 9.5 (8.2, 13.0) d; the hospitalization cost was (6.0±0.3) ten thousand yuan. Fourteen cases developed perioperative complications (14.0%), including 7 cases of pleural effusion or pneumonia, 3 cases of anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of gastric emptying disorder, 1 case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and 1 case of anastomotic stenosis, who were all improved and discharged after symptomatic management. Patients were followed up for (33.3±1.6) months. Eight patients were found to have reflux symptoms by RDQ scale six months after surgery, and 11 patients (11/100,11.0%) were found to have reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, including 6 in grade A, 3 in grade B, and 2 in grade C. All the patients could control their reflux symptoms with behavioral guidance or oral PPIs. Conclusion: Cheng's GIRAFFE reconstruction has good anti-reflux efficacy and gastric emptying function; it can be one of the choices of reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy.

Abstract
Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a rare and chronic benign inflammatory disease of the breast. Difficulties exist in the management of GLM for many front-line surgeons and medical specialists who care for patients with inflammatory disorders of the breast. This consensus is summarized to establish evidence-based recommendations for the management of GLM. Literature was reviewed using PubMed from January 1, 1971 to July 31, 2020. Sixty-six international experienced multidisciplinary experts from 11 countries or regions were invited to review the evidence. Levels of evidence were determined using the American College of Physicians grading system, and recommendations were discussed until consensus. Experts discussed and concluded 30 recommendations on historical definitions, etiology and predisposing factors, diagnosis criteria, treatment, clinical stages, relapse and recurrence of GLM. GLM was recommended as a widely accepted definition. In addition, this consensus introduced a new clinical stages and management algorithm for GLM to provide individual treatment strategies. In conclusion, diagnosis of GLM depends on a combination of history, clinical manifestations, imaging examinations, laboratory examinations and pathology. The approach to treatment of GLM should be applied according to the different clinical stage of GLM. This evidence-based consensus would be valuable to assist front-line surgeons and medical specialists in the optimal management of GLM.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the distribution of HIV-1 genetic subtypes and pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) among men who have sex with men (MSM) from 19 cities of 6 provinces in China. Methods: From April to November 2019, 574 plasma samples of ART-naive HIV-1 infected MSM were collected from 19 cities in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted and amplified the HIV-1 pol gene region by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after reverse transcription. Then sequences were used to construct a phylogenetic tree to determine genetic subtypes and submitted to the Stanford drug resistance database for drug resistance analysis. Results: A total of 479 samples were successfully amplified by PCR. The HIV-1 genetic subtypes included CRF01_AE, CRF07_BC, B, CRF55_01B, CRF59_01B, CRF65_cpx, CRF103_01B, CRF67_01B, CRF68_01B and unrecognized subtype, which accounted for 43.4%, 36.3%, 6.3%, 5.9%, 0.8%, 0.8%, 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.2% and 5.5%, respectively. The distribution of genetic subtypes among provinces is statistically different (χ2=44.141, P<0.001). The overall PDR rate was 4.6% (22/479), the drug resistance rate of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and protease inhibitors were 3.5% (17/479), 0.8% (4/479) and 0.2% (1/479), respectively. The PDR rate of recent infections was significantly higher than that of long-term infections (χ2=4.634, P=0.031). Conclusions: The HIV-1 genetic subtypes among MSM infected with HIV-1 from 19 cities of 6 provinces in China are diverse, and the distribution of subtypes is different among provinces. The overall PDR rate is low, while the PDR rate of recent infections was significantly higher than that of long-term infections, suggesting the surveillance of PDR in recent infections should be strengthened.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of Yersinia enterocolitica in patients with diarrhea in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. Methods: Active surveillance of diarrhea was conducted in 14 sentinel hospitals (three tertiary-level hospitals, nine secondary-level hospitals, and two primary-level hospitals) from January 2013 to December 2019 in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, China base on their location, catchment area, and patient volume. Cold enrichment method was used to isolate Y. enterocolitica and further detection of bioserotype, virulence genes and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates were conducted. The difference of rates was determined using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results: A total of 12 941 diarrhea cases were included, and 0.7% (88/12 941) cases were confirmed with Yersinia enterocolitica infection. 67.0% (59/88) cases were single infection, 33.0% (29/88) cases were mixed infections. Detection rates of Y. enterocolitica increased annually (0.3%-1.2%) and were highest in children<5 years of age (1.1%, 37/3 218) and in spring (1.1%, 32/2 998) (χ2 were 18.64 and 9.76, respectively, P<0.05). 58.0% (51/88) cases had watery diarrhea, 15.9% (14/88) had fever and 14.8% (13/88) had vomiting. The predominant bioserotypes were 3/O:3 (53.4%, 47/88), followed by 1A/O:8 (15.9%, 14/88) and 1A/O:5(6.8%, 6/88), respectively. Bioserotype 3/O:3 counted for the highest proportions (89.2%, 33/37) in children <5 years of age. All the strains of bioserotype 3/O:3 harbored ail, ystA, yadA and virF genes, which encoded pathogenic Y. enterocolitica. 11/14 strain of 1A/O:8 and 4/6 strains of 1A/O:5 harbored ystB gene. Most strains were resistant to ampicillin (80.7%,71/88) and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (71.6%,63/88), and 63.8% (56/88) strains were multidrug resistance (MDR). The difference of antimicrobial resistance rates between 3/O:3 and non 3/O:3 was statistically significant in ampicillin, cefoxitin, nalidixic acid, tetracycline and ampicillin/sulbactam (χ2 was 14.68, 43.80, 41.86, 30.54 and 5.07, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion: The detection rate of Yersinia enterocolitica was higher in children than in adults in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. The predominant bioserotype was pathogenic 3/O:3 with multidrug resistance.

Abstract
To explore and revise the factor structure, reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Driver Stress Inventory (DSI) in the driver population in first-tier city of China. In this study, the questionnaire method was used to select the data collected by the "Research on the Driving Stress of Urban Salaries in Urban Traffic" carried out by the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2012, and a third-party survey agency was commissioned to select 300 people in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou respectively. A total of 900 drivers (with 889 valid data scales) were used to test their driving stress and other indicators by using the DSI and the self-compiled travel and stress relief scale. The test content collects driver self-reported stress data from five dimensions: Aggression, Dislike of driving, Hazard-Monitoring, Fatigue Proneness and Thrill-seeking. The DSI questionnaire of 445 cardinal numbers was revised by item analysis methods such as correlation test and T-test, and exploratory factor analysis method based on principal component analysis and optimal skew axis method (Promax).The results of item analysis showed that the total correlation coefficient of 10 items of the 48 items of the original DSI scale was lower than 0.3, and the total correlation coefficient of 6 items was not significant (r=-0.078-0.079, P>0.05), and the high and low groups were independent. There were significant differences in the results of the sample t test (t=-16.642-0.091, P<0.001), the 16 items were deleted, and the remaining 32 items; exploratory factor analysis showed that KMO=0.938>0.900, and the Bartlett's sphericity test result was significant (χ²=6 361.974, df=496, P<0.001), suitable for exploratory factor analysis, the results showed that 2 items constituted independent factors, did not meet the relevant standards of psychometrics and were deleted, and finally retained 30 items, and the internal consistency coefficient of the new scale was better than the original one(α=0.932>0.877); Based on the results of exploratory factor analysis, the model fitting indexes of 444 even-numbered samples such as RMSEA, SRMR, CFI and TLI were verified by confirmatory factor analysis, and the results showed that the index of each index was good (χ²=1 250.447, RMSEA=0.070, SRMR=0.068, CFI=0.839, TLI=0.823); criterion validity analysis found that each factor of the revised scale was significantly correlated with situational anxiety (r=0.190-0.556, P<0.01). In conclusion, the DSI (Chinese version) has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an assessment tool for driver stress in China.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the change of innate lymphoid cells (ILC) subsets in peripheral blood and ascites in liver cirrhotic patients complicated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Methods: The data of 62 patients with liver cirrhosis admited to the Zhumadian Central Hospital from November 2019 to November 2020 were analyzed. Among them, 41 cases were complicated with untainted ascites (untainted ascites group), while the other 21 cases were complicated with SBP (SBP group). Meanwhile, 20 cases of controls who received healthy examination in the same period were also enrolled (control group). Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) was isolated from peripheral blood of all patients and controls. Mononuclear cell in ascites was isolated from patients with liver cirrhosis. The percentage of ILC1, ILC2, and ILC3 subsets in PBMC and mononuclear cell in ascites were measured by flow cytometry. CD3-CD19-CD20-CD14- cells (lin-cells) were purified from ascites and were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h. The transcription factor T-bet, GATA3, and RORγt mRNA relative level in lin-cells was semi-quantified by real-time PCR. Cytokine level in the supernatants was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Differences of ILC subsets in peripheral blood and ascites were compared among groups. Results: There were twenty-nine males and twelve females in untainted ascites group, aged M(Q1,Q3) 49(33, 78) years. There were twelve males and nine females in SBP group, aged 50(37, 76) years. There were eleven males and nine females in control group, aged 48(32, 69) years. lin-CD45+CD161+CD127+ ILC cells could be detected in both peripheral blood and ascites. There was no significant difference in total ILC percentage within PBMC among untainted ascites group, SBP group, and control group (P=0.235). There was also no significant difference of total ILC percentage within mononuclear cells in ascites between untainted ascites group and SBP group (P=0.232). The differences were not statistically significant of peripheral CD117-CRTh2-ILC1, CRTh2+ILC2, or CD117+CRTh2-ILC3 within peripheral ILC among untainted ascites group, SBP group, and control group (all P>0.05). ILC1 percentage in ascites was up-regulated in SBP group compared with untainted ascites group (35.69%±3.39% vs 26.40%±3.85%, P<0.001), while ILC2 in ascites was down-regulated in SBP group (36.83%±7.70% vs 48.35%±9.45%, P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in ILC3 percentage in ascites between the two groups (P=0.230). T-bet mRNA relative level and IFN-γ production by lin- cells from ascites were elevated in response to LPS stimulation in SBP group compared with untainted ascites group (both P<0.001). GATA3 mRNA relative level and IL-5/IL-13 secretion by lin-cells from ascites were reduced in SBP group compared with untainted ascites group (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference of RORγt mRNA relative level or IL-17/IL-22 expression between the two groups (both P>0.05). Conclusion: Peripheral ILC subsets do not change in liver cirrhosis patients with SBP. ILC1 percentage is up-regulated, and ILC2 percentage is down-regulated in ascites in liver cirrhosis patients with SBP.

Abstract
Objective: To examine risk factors of simple obesity and their interaction in preschool children in China. Methods: A total of 63 292 preschool children aged 3-7 years selected by cluster random sampling in 9 cities of China, including Beijing, Harbin, Xi'an, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Kunming, were investigated from June to November in 2016. Based on the BMI-for-age cut off points of overweight and obesity for Chinese children aged 2-18 years, a total of 1 522 obese children (1 006 boys and 516 girls) were screened. By population-based matched case-control design, a normal weight child was randomly selected to match with an obese child by sex, age (difference ≤6 months) and body height (difference ≤5 cm) from the survey area. Conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze association of risk factors with obesity and the interaction of risk factors. Results: ① Univariate conditional logistic regression model showed that 17 risk factors of simple obesity had statistical significance (P<0.001), including high birth weight, cesarean section, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, formula feeding in the first 6 months after birth, strong appetite, fast or slow eating speed, low intensity of outdoor activities, daily outdoor activity time <1 hour, daily screen viewing time < 1 hour or ≥2 hours, daily night sleep time <9 hours, mother overweight, father overweight, mother's low educational level, father's low educational level, non-nuclear family structure, and parents not being the primary caregivers of children. ②Multivariate conditional logistic regression model showed that 12 risk factors had statistical significance, including high birth weight (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.29-2.61, P<0.001), cesarean section (OR=1.22, 95%CI:1.07-1.39, P=0.003), gestational diabetes (OR=4.57, 95%CI:2.13-9.79, P<0.001), mother's low educational level (OR=1.52, 95%CI:1.11-2.07, P=0.008), single parent family (OR=4.79, 95%CI:1.44-15.88, P=0.010), mother overweight (OR=2.58, 95%CI:1.93-3.46, P<0.001), father overweight (OR=2.40, 95%CI:1.86-3.10, P<0.001), strong appetite (OR=7.78, 95%CI:5.38-11.27, P<0.001), fast eating speed (OR=6.59, 95%CI:4.86-8.94, P<0.001), daily outdoor activity time <1 hour (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.09-1.85, P=0.009), daily night sleep time <9 hours (OR=1.59, 95%CI: 1.13-2.23, P=0.007), daily screen viewing time ≥2 hours (OR=1.69, 95%CI:1.27-2.24, P<0.001). ③ Interaction of the four groups of risk factors had statistical significance, including interaction between mother overweight and father overweight (OR=5.53, 95%CI: 3.76-8.13, P<0.001), interaction between strong appetite and fast eating speed (OR=54.48, 95%CI: 32.95-90.06, P<0.001), interaction between low intensity of outdoor activity and daily outdoor activity time <1 hour (OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.29-3.48, P=0.002), interaction between daily night sleep time <9 hours and daily screen viewing time ≥2 hours (OR=2.83, 95%CI: 1.71-4.68, P<0.001). Conclusions: This study identified 12 risk factors of childhood obesity, including high birth weight, cesarean section, gestational diabetes, mother's low educational level, single parent family, mother overweight, father overweight, strong appetite, fast eating speed, daily short outdoor activity time, daily short night sleep time, daily long screen viewing time, and interaction of the four groups of risk factors had statistical significance, including strong interaction between mother overweight and father overweight, interaction between strong appetite and fast eating speed, interaction between low intensity of outdoor activity and daily short outdoor activity time, interaction between daily short night sleep time and daily long screen viewing time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of reported imported malaria cases in Zhengzhou City from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide insights into the management of imported malaria in the city. METHODS All data pertaining to cases with definitive diagnosis of malaria in Zhengzhou City from 2016 to 2020 were captured from the National Notifiable Disease Report System and the Information Management System for Parasitic Disease Control in China, including individual demographic data, and malaria onset, initial diagnosis and definitive diagnosis data. All data were descriptively analyzed. The duration from malaria onset to initial diagnosis, from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis and from onset to definitive diagnosis was compared among cases. In addition, the diagnoses of imported malaria cases in which definitive diagnosis was made were compared with the reexaminations by Zhengzhou Municipal Malaria Diagnosis Reference Laboratory. RESULTS A total of 302 cases with definitive diagnosis of malaria were reported in Zhengzhou City from 2016 to 2020, and all were imported cases, with Plasmodium falciparum malaria as the predominant type (230 cases, 76.2%). There were 293 malaria cases imported from Africa (293 cases, 97.0%), which mainly included Nigeria (48 cases, 15.9%), Angola (40 cases, 13.2%), and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (29 cases, 9.6%). There was no obvious seasonality found in the date of malaria onset and time of reporting malaria. The ratio of male to female malaria cases was 49.3:1, and there were 103 cases (34.1%) with the current residency address in Zhengzhou City, 193 cases (63.9%) with the current residency address in other cities of Henan Province and 6 cases (2.0%) in other provinces of China. There were 271 cases (89.7%) seeking initial diagnosis in medical institutions, and the diagnostic accuracy of malaria was 56.6% (171/302) at initial diagnosis institutions. A total of 122 cases (40.4%) sought medical care on the day of malaria onset, and 252 cases (86.4%) within 3 days; however, only 22 cases (7.3%) were definitively diagnosed on the day of onset, and 162 cases (53.6%) diagnosed within 3 days. There were no significant differences between malaria cases seeking initial diagnosis at medical institutions and disease control and prevention institutions in terms of the duration from malaria onset to initial diagnosis (Z = -1.663, P > 0.05), from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis (Z = -0.413, P > 0.05) or from malaria onset to definitive diagnosis (Z = -0.838, P > 0.05). The median duration (interquartile range) from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis of malaria was 3.00 (2.00), 3.00 (6.00), 2.00 (4.00) d and 1.00 (1.00) d among cases seeking medical care at township-level and lower, county-, city- and province-level medical institutions, and the median duration from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis of malaria was significantly longer among cases seeking medical care at township-level and lower medical institutions than at city (Z = -3.286, P < 0.008 33) and province-level medical institutions (Z = -9.119, P < 0.008 33), while the median duration from initial diagnosis to definitive diagnosis [1.00 (3.00) d vs. 2.00 (4.00) d; Z = -4.099, P < 0.016] and from malaria onset to definitive diagnosis [3.00 (4.00) d vs. 4.00 (5.00) d; Z = -2.868, P < 0.016] among malaria cases with the current residency address in Zhengzhou City was both shorter than in other cities of Henan Province. The diagnostic accuracy was 89.1% (269/302) among malaria cases in which definitive diagnosis was made, and the accuracy of malaria reexaminations was 94.0% (284/302) in Zhengzhou Municipal Malaria Diagnosis Reference Laboratory. CONCLUSIONS P. falciparum malaria was predominant among reported imported malaria cases in Zhengzhou City from 2016 to 2020, and these imported malaria cases were predominantly diagnosed at medical institutions; however, the diagnostic capability of malaria is poor in township-level and lower medical institutions. Strengthening the collaboration between medical institutions and disease control and prevention institutions and improving the diagnostic capability building at medical institutions are recommended to consolidate malaria elimination achivements.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy, efficacy and safety of 3D-printed personalized navigation template in the treatment of thoracic postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) with dorsal root ganglion pulsed radiofrequency (DRG-PRF). Methods: A total of 63 patients with thoracic PHN from March 2019 to December 2020 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were enrolled and randomly divided into study group (n=31) and control group (n=32) by random number table method. The study group received DRG-PRF treatment assisted by 3D-printed navigation template, while the control group received DRG-PRF treatment guided by conventional CT. The one-time success rate of puncture, the incidence of puncture times ≥3, the number of punctures, puncture time, visual analogue scale (VAS) score and surgical complications between the two groups were compared. Results: The one-time success rate of puncture in study group was 84.9% (79/93), which was higher than that of control group [30.2% (29/96)] (P<0.001). The incidence of puncture times ≥3, the number of punctures, puncture time in study group were 4.3% (4/93), 1 (1, 1) and 2.9 (2.8, 3.0) min, respectively, which were lower than that of the control group [21.9% (21/96), 2(1, 3), 9.0 (4.5, 12.9) min, respectively] (all P<0.01). No difference was found in VAS score at each time point before and after surgery between the two groups (all P>0.05). There was one case of pleura puncture in the control group, but no other complications such as straying into vertebral canal, hematoma, spinal cord injury, limb movement disorder, infection were found in the two groups. Conclusions: 3D-printed personalized navigation template is an effective method to guide DRG-PRF for the treatment of thoracic postherpetic neuralgia. It can significantly improve the surgical efficiency of DRG-PRF, but has no significant effect on the surgical efficacy.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current situation of sharp instrument injuries among medical workers in a tertiary general hospital in Fuzhou, so as to provide basis for formulating relevant policies. Methods: In June 2019, medical personnel working in a tertiary general hospital in Fuzhou, who may have sharp instrument injuries were selected as the research object. A total of 2720 questionnaires were received, including 2688 valid questionnaires, with an effective rate of 98.8%. The age, type of work, professional title, working years, operating habits, occurrence and reporting of sharp instrument injuries among medical staff from June 2018 to May 2019 were investigated. Results: The incidence of sharp instrument injury was 37.6% (1011/2688) . Among them, 20.6% (208/1011) had multiple sharp instrument injuries. The exposure rate of contaminated sharp instruments was 15.1% (405/2688) . With the increase of age, professional title and working years, the incidence of sharp instrument injury decreased year by year (χ(2)(trend)=12.393, 33.339, 15.160, P<0.05) . The first three causes of sharp instrument injury were breaking glass ampoules by hand (39.1%, 395/1011) , extracting liquid medicine (10.4%, 105/1011) and handling sharp instruments by hand (10.3%, 104/1011) . The main sharp instruments causing sharp injury were ampoules (43.2%, 437/1011) , syringe needles (20.3%, 205/1011) and suture needles (9.6%, 97/1011) . 874 (86.4%) medical staff had missed reports after sharp instrument injuries. Conclusion: The occurrence of sharp instrument injury in this hospital is still serious, and the protection of sharp instrument injury should be strengthened.
