Objective: To analyze the effects of exposure to life events and social support levels during different stages of pregnancy on low birth weight in offspring. Methods: From 2021 to 2023, pregnant women in early pregnancy who were registered with health cards in Linping District, Hangzhou City, were recruited and followed up. The Life Events Scale for Pregnant Women (LESPW) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used to evaluate the exposure to life events and social support levels of pregnant women in early, middle and late pregnancy, respectively. A generalized linear model was used to analyze the impact and critical period of exposure to prenatal life events and social support levels on the risk of low birth weight in offspring. Results: A total of 3 663 pregnant women with ages M (Q₁, Q₃) of 29.18 (26.59, 32.21) years were included in this study. 116 cases (3.17%) of infants with low birth weight were delivered. Generalized linear model analysis showed no correlation between the level of social support in early, middle and late pregnancy and low birth weight in offspring (all P>0.05). The risk of low birth weight in offspring of pregnant women with high exposure to early pregnancy life events was 1.78 times higher than that of the low exposure group (RR=1.78, 95%CI: 1.13-2.73, P=0.010), and there was no association in the middle and late stages of pregnancy (both P>0.05). Pregnant women with high exposure to early life events and low levels of social support had a 2.08-fold higher risk of low birth weight in their offspring compared to the low exposure group (RR=2.08, 95%CI: 1.17-6.78, P=0.010), while this situation was not associated with high social support stratification. Conclusion: Exposure to life events during pregnancy has an early window effect on birth weight. Increased exposure to life events during early pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of low birth weight in offspring. This association is more pronounced in pregnant women with low social support.

To analyze the positivity rate and titer of antinuclear antibody (ANA), as well as nuclear pattern and target antigen of ANA in healthy pregnant women during early pregnancy in Qingdao area. A prospective cohort study design was used to include a total of 9 528 healthy pregnant women registered at the Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University from March 2023 to June 2024.Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIF) was used to detect ANA, its titer and cell staining pattern. Fifteen specific antibodies were tested using the magnetic bar code immunofluorescent luminescence method. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of pregnancy with autoimmune disease(AID). The results showed that among 9 528 pregnant women in early pregnancy, 1 346 cases (14.1%) were positive of ANA, including 1 011 cases with a titer of 1∶100 (10.6%), 236 cases (2.5%) with a titer of 1∶320, and 99 cases (1.0%) were detected at a titer >1∶320. Among the 1 346 ANA-positive pregnant women, nuclear granular type accounted for the highest proportion (483 cases, 35.9%), followed by speckled type (347 cases, 25.8%) and cytoplasmic type (176 cases, 13.1%).Then, pregnant women with ANA titers ≥1∶100 were detected 15 specific antibodies.Anti-SSA was tested in 121 cases accounted for the majority, followed by 110 cases with anti-Ro-52, 56 cases with anti-SSB, 51 cases with anti-mitochondrial M2 subtype antibodies and 37 cases with anti-centromere B. In conclusion,in healthy pregnant women in Qingdao area, ANA positivity rate was 14.1%, and the titer of ANA was mainly at 1∶100.The predominant nuclear patterns were nuclear granular and speckled types.The specific autoantibodies were mainly anti-SSA antibodies and anti-Ro-52 antibodies.The detection of ANA and specific autoantibodies is of great significance for early prediction, diagnosis, and intervention of autoimmune diseases during pregnancy.

Objective: To analyze the epidemic characteristics of reported tuberculosis incidence in Kashgar from 2015 to 2022, and use the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to predict the incidence, providing references for the local control of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: The reported incidence data of tuberculosis in the Kashgar area of Xinjiang from January 2015 to August 2023 were collected through the"Infectious Disease Monitoring System", a subsystem of the "Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System". The epidemic characteristics of reported incidence in this area from 2015 to 2022 were analyzed. Two SARIMA models of monthly reported incidence number and rate were established. The prediction performance of the two models was evaluated using the reported incidence data of tuberculosis from January 2023 to August 2023. The χ² test was used to analyze population characteristics, and the Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to analyze annual incidence. Results: From 2015 to 2022, 133 972 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Kashgar, with a yearly reported incidence rate of 383.64/100 000, showing a rising trend (T_CA=77.03, P<0.001) and then a declining trend (T_CA=176.16, P<0.001). The proportion of pathogenic positive pulmonary tuberculosis had increased yearly (T_CA=132.66, P<0.001). The reported onset time was concentrated from January to June each year, with a peak in April. Yengisar County, Zepu County and Yopurga County had the highest reported incidence rate in Kashgar. The sex ratio of men to women was 1.03∶1, and the reported incidence rate of men was higher than that of women (χ²=27.04, P<0.001). The reported incidence rate of the group aged 60 years and older was the highest. The patient's occupation was mainly farmers (84.99%). The average relative errors of the SARIMA (1, 1, 2) (0, 1, 1)₁₂ model and SARIMA (0, 1, 1)(0, 1, 1)₁₂ model in predicting the reported monthly incidence number and rate were 11.67% and -9.81%, respectively. Both models had good prediction accuracy (MAPE=33.55%, MAPE=38.22%). Conclusion: The average reported incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Kashgar area shows a rising trend first and then a declining trend. The patients are mainly men and farmers, and attention should be paid to the prevention and control of tuberculosis among the elderly in winter and spring. The SARIMA (1, 1, 2) (0, 1, 1)₁₂ model and SARIMA (0, 1, 1)(0, 1, 1)₁₂ model can fit the trend of reported tuberculosis incidence in the Kashgar area well and have good predictive performance.

Objective: To employ qualitative research methods to evaluate the sustainability of the Shandong-Ministry of Health Action on Salt and Hypertension (SMASH) interventions and their influencing factors. Method: In September 2023, interviewees meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited through purposive sampling in Jinan, Shandong Province. A semi-structured interview guide was designed based on the CFIR and RE-AIM frameworks. Personal in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to gather insights on the feasibility, effectiveness, and sustainability of the project interventions from various stakeholders, including representatives from the government, food manufacturers, restaurants, academia, and residents. Results: A total of 15 individuals participated in in-depth interviews, involving six representatives from food manufacturers, four from restaurants, three from the government, and two from academia. There were four focus group discussions with 30 residents. The study found that at the individual resident level, health awareness and the availability of sodium reduction tools in the market could affect their salt reduction practices. For food manufacturers and restaurants, consumers' preferences, technical challenges in reformulation, and government support were key factors determining the smooth progress of their salt reduction efforts. At the governmental level, multi-sectional coordination, chronic disease management demonstration areas, and the impact of the pandemic were the main factors influencing the implementation of sodium reduction interventions. Conclusion: Future endeavours should strengthen long-term management and optimise the complex influencing factors associated with intervention measures. This will be essential in sustaining and expanding the positive health outcomes achieved through the Shandong population sodium reduction strategy.

This study investigated the etiological characteristics and whole genome sequencing of clostridium perfringens (CP) from a food poisoning outbreak. Multiplex real-time PCR was employed to screen pathogens in collected samples. Based on the preliminary screening results, the isolation, cultivation, and identification of suspected pathogenic CP bacteria were performed. The nucleic acid tests were conducted for CP-related virulence genes on CP isolates, anal swab specimens and food samples. The molecular typing of CP isolates was analyzed by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). A phylogenetic tree was established to analyze nucleotide and amino acid homology after sequencing the PLC gene. The whole genome sequencing and gene annotation on the representative strain QD2022FB4-CP4 were performed to explore its drug resistance, toxin genes and biological characteristics. The analysis revealed that the food poisoning was triggered by F-type Clostridium perfringens, which infected the consumers by contaminating'roujiamo' sandwiches. The whole genome sequencing of the strain QD2022FB4-CP found that it had active metabolic processes, multiple virulence genes and multidrug resistance characteristics.

To evaluate the effect of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) on the clinical prognosis of children with macrolide drug-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MRMPP) in a retrospective cohort study based on propensity score matching (PSM).A retrospective cohort study based on propensity score matching retrospectively collected the clinical data of hospitalized patients diagnosed with mycoplasma macrolide drug-resistant pneumonia (MRMPP) in Respiratory Department of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2020 to August 2023. According to whether bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed during hospitalization, the children were divided into BAL group and non-BAL group, and the baseline information of the two groups was matched by propensity scores, and the clinical prognosis was compared. A total of 302 children were screened, and 150 cases were successfully matched, including 59 cases in the BAL group and 91 cases in the non-BAL group. The results showed that the differences between the non-BAL group and the BAL group before PSM(P<0.05) were significantly different in age [(4.60±2.97)years vs (5.41±3.02) years, t=-2.273, P=0.024], shortness of breath (9.4% vs 22.5%, χ²=9.864, P=0.002), and radiographic manifestations [lung interstitial changes (29.8% vs 15.3%, χ²=8.009, P=0.005), lung consolidation (17.3% vs 55.9%, χ²=48.457, P<0.001), spotted flaky infiltrates (52.4% vs 27.9%, χ²=17.056, P<0.001)], bacterial infection (3.2% vs 9.2%, χ²=4.845, P=0.028), duration of azithromycin or doxycycline use [4(2, 5) days vs 5(3, 6) days, Z=-2.374, P=0.018], White Blood Cell Count at admission [7.94 (6.25, 10.34)×10⁹/L vs 7.21 (5.65, 9.01)×10⁹/L, Z=-2.445, P=0.014], D Dimer [0.58 (0.44, 0.83) μg/ml vs 0.80 (0.52, 1.12) μg/ml, Z=-3.154, P=0.002], but there was no significant difference between the two groups in the above indexes after PSM (P>0.05). The duration of hospitalization, cough relief, disappearance of rales and fever in the BAL group was shortened in the BAL group compared with that in the non-BAL group [5 (4, 7) days vs 7 (5, 8) days, Z=-2.373, P=0.018], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Linear regression analysis of PSM cohort study showed that BAL was negatively correlated with fever time (β=-4.369, 95%CI:-8.600--0.138, P<0.05). In conclusion, BAL can shorten the fever time of MRMPP, and early BAL in addition to conventional treatment has a positive effect on the prognosis of children.

Objective: To analyze the temporal trends of the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) in Shaanxi Province and provide a reference for WHO to control the prevalence of TB effectively. Methods: Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of the incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province from 2004 to 2022, and the seasonal autoregressive moving average model was used to forecast the incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province to 2030. Results: The incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province decreased from 90.896/100 000 in 2004 to 35.364/100 000 in 2022, showing a general downward trend (AAPC=-7.72%, P<0.001). From 2014 to 2019, the reduction trend slowed down (APC=-0.69%, P=0.814), of which the largest decline occurred from 2019 to 2022 (APC=-13.26%, P=0.010). The predicted incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province from 2020 to 2022 was higher than the reported incidence rate, with the expected incidence rate of 51.342/100 000 in 2022 and 43.468/100 000 in 2030. Conclusion: The incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province shows a downward trend from 2004 to 2022, but the decline has shrunk in recent years. It is predicted that the downward trend will continue to slow down by 2030.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between comorbidity factors and in-hospital mortality related to factors in patients with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) pneumonia. This study collected clinical data from 218 patients with CRKP pneumonia in Beijing hospital from November 2011 to December 2023, analyzed the number of comorbidities carried by CRKP pneumonia patients, comorbidity patterns, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores, and comorbidity of underlying diseases, and explored the relationship between various indicators and comorbidity factors and in-hospital mortality in CRKP pneumonia patients. The Ward.D cluster analysis was performed on the comorbidities of patients and used to draw heatmaps. Using a multiple logistic regression model, a nomogram model was constructed to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia. This study included 218 patients with CRKP pneumonia. The results showed that there were significant differences in the age (P=0.003), comorbidities such as heart failure (P<0.001), arrhythmia (P=0.002), chronic liver disease (P=0.003), chronic kidney disease (P=0.002), CCI score (P=0.007), total number of comorbidities (P<0.001), and comorbidity patterns (respiratory/immune/psychiatric disease patterns and cardiovascular/tumor/metabolic disease patterns, P=0.003) between the survival and death groups of CRKP pneumonia patients. The multiple logistic regression showed that cardiovascular/tumor/metabolic disease patterns (P=0.030), CCI score (P=0.040), concomitant heart failure (P=0.011), and concomitant arrhythmia (P=0.025) were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia. The nomogram model for predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia, constructed based on the identified risk factors, had an area under the ROC curve of 0.758. Both the ROC curve and validation curve indicated that the nomogram model had stable performance in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia. In summary, comorbidity factors are risk factors for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia, and the role of comorbidity factors in in-hospital mortality in patients with CRKP pneumonia should be taken seriously.
