[Efficacy and safety of half-dose rituximab in the treatment of 23 cases with lupus nephritis].

The study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of rituximab in the treatment of 23 cases of lupus nephritis and explore the prospect of half-dose rituximab in lupus nephritis treatment. Twenty-three patients with lupus nephritis hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from May 2013 to December 2021 were selected. Eighteen patients received rituximab 375 mg/m2 on the first and 14th days, 5 patients received 500 mg of rituximab on the first and 14th days, and rituximab was used as needed 6 months later. Methylprednisolone (80-120 mg) was given together with rituximab. Afterward, 1 mg/kg prednisone was used for 4 weeks, which was progressively tapered to maintenance doses or discontinued. B lymphocyte level, renal function, 24-h urine protein level, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI2K) score before and after treatment were recorded. The efficacy and adverse reactions were analyzed. The results showed that 11 patients suffered from renal insufficiency [creatinine (162.7±58.6) µmol/L ] at baseline, while the creatinine level of 9 patients returned to normal 12 months after the treatment [ (66.3±10.1)µmol/L ]. Normal renal function of the other 12 patients was maintained during treatment. After 12 months, the 24-h urine protein level decreased from 4.00 (2.00,6.80) g in the baseline period to 0.10 (0.08,0.40) g. SLEDAI2K score decreased from 22 (18,26) in the baseline period to 3 (0,6) 12 months after the treatment. The B lymphocyte level reached 0.00 (0.00,0.01)% at 3 months. Of 23 patients, 13 patients achieved complete remission, and 7 patients achieved partial remission after 6 months of rituximab treatment. Five patients experienced adverse reactions related to rituximab, including 1 case of transfusion reaction, 1 case of perioral herpes with pulmonary infection, and 3 cases of decreased IgG levels. Therefore, rituximab regimen used in this study can be an effective treatment strategy for lupus nephritis.

[Recent progress in the treatment of intractable sialolithiasis].

Sialolithiasis occurs in approximately 0.45% to 1.20% of the general population. The typical clinical symptom manifests as a painful swelling of the affected glands after a meal or upon salivary stimulation, which extremely affects the life quality of the patients. With the development of sialendoscopy and lithotripsy, most sialoliths can be successfully removed with preservation of the gland. However, sialoliths in the deep hilar-parenchymal submandibular ducts and impacted parotid stones located in the proximal ducts continue to pose great challenges. Our research center for salivary gland diseases (in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology) has used sialendoscopy for 17 years and treated >2 000 patients with salivary gland calculi. The success rate was approximately 92% for submandibular gland calculi and 95% for parotid calculi. A variety of minimally invasive surgical techniques have been applied and developed, which add substantial improvements in the treatment of refractory sialolithiasis. Further, the radiographic positioning criteria and treatment strategy are proposed for these intractable stones. Most of the hilar-parenchymal submandibular stones are successfully removed by a transoral approach, including transoral duct slitting and intraductal basket grasping, while a small portion of superficial stones can be removed by a mini-incision in submandibular area. Impacted stones located in the distal third of parotid gland ducts are removed via "peri-ostium incision", which is applied to avoid a cicatricial stenosis from a direct ostium incision. Impacted parotid stones located in the middle and proximal third of the Stensen's duct are removed via a direct mini-incision or a peri-auricular flap. A direct transcutaneous mini-incision is commonly performed under local anesthesia with an imperceptible scar, and is indicated for most of impacted stones located in the middle third, hilum and intraglandular ducts. By contrast, a peri-auricular flap is performed under general anesthesia with relatively larger operational injury of the gland parenchyma, and should be best reserved for deeper intraglandular stones. Laser lithotripsy has been applied in the treatment of sialolithiasis in the past decade, and holmium ∶YAG laser is reported to have the best therapeutic effects. During the past 3 years, our research group has performed laser lithotripsy for a few cases with intractable salivary stones. From our experiences, withdrawal of the endoscopic tip 0.5-1.0 cm away from the extremity of the laser fiber, consistent saline irrigation, and careful monitoring of gland swelling are of vital importance for avoidance of injuries of the ductal wall and the vulnerable endoscope lens during lithotripsy. Larger calculi require multiple treatment procedures. The risk of ductal stenosis can be alleviated by endoscopic dilation. In summary, appropriate use of various endoscopy-assisted lithotomy helps preserve the gland function in most of the patients with refractory sialolithiasis. Further studies are needed in the following aspects: Transcervical removal of intraglandular submandibular stones, intraductal laser lithotripsy of impacted parotid stones and deep submandibular stones, evaluation of long-term postoperative function of the affected gland, et al.

[Exploration of the classification of public health intervention and its implication for China].

Public health interventions refer to a series of organized and specific measures implemented in specific situations to achieve goals related to improving health, preventing and controlling diseases, and more. As research on intervention measures has deepened, the classification of public health interventions has gradually developed, clarifying the nature, categories and intervention targets of these measures. This typological study can help standardize the concepts of public health interventions, develop, select, and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures, and improve the effectiveness of public health actions. This paper reviews the main international classification models of intervention measures, analyzes and summarizes five classification methods of public health interventions, namely, based on goals, nature, objects, hierarchies, and modes of action, and introduces relevant cases. The paper proposes that China should conduct further in-depth and systematic research on public health interventions, develop evidence-based intervention measures and practices, promote the effective transformation of intervention measures and results, and facilitate the development of public health.

[Study on the correlation between ceramic and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Foshan City].

Objective: To study the correlation between ceramic and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and explore its related risk factors. Methods: In January 2021, five representative ceramic enterprises were selected from Chancheng District, Nanhai District, Gaoming District and Sanshui District of Foshan City. The ceramic workers who came to Chancheng Hospital of Foshan First People's Hospital for physical examination from January to October 2021 were selected as the research objects, and 525 people were included. Conduct questionnaire survey and pulmonary function test. Logistic regresion was performed to analyze the influencing facters of COPD among ceramic workers. Results: The subjects were (38.51±1.25) years old, 328 males and 197 females, and the detection rate of COPD was 9.52% (50/525). The incidence of respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, chronic cough, wheezing and chest tightness, the detection rates of abnormal lung age, abnormal lung function and COPD in males were higher than those in females (P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that male, age, working years, smoking status and family history of COPD were the risk factors for COPD among ceramic workers (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The ceramic workers are the high risk population of COPD. We should do a good job in health education, and do a regular physical examination to find the changes of lung function in time, and prevent the occurrence of COPD as soon as possible.

A total of 20 patients with internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) who were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from May 2018 to May 2020 were collected, and 15 patients met the inclusion criteria. All patients received hybrid surgery. The total success rate of recanalization was 14/15, and only 1 patient developed ICA re-occlusion at 1 year follow up.Therefore, carotid endarterectomy combined with endovascular treatment in hybrid operating room was an alternative treatment for patients with segmental atherosclerotic internal carotid artery occlusion.

[Investigation on knowledge, attitude and behavior of salt reduction in adults of Beijing in 2017].

Objective: To explore the knowledge, attitude and behavior of salt reduction in adults of Beijing in 2017. Methods: Based on the monitoring data of chronic diseases and corresponding risk factors in adults of Beijing in 2017, the indicators of salt reduction knowledge, attitude and behavior of 13 240 participants aged 18-79 years old were analyzed. The awareness rate, attitude support rate and behavior rate were calculated by complex weighting method, and compared among different age groups, genders, residential areas, and history of hypertension. The proportion of people taking various salt reduction measures to the total number of people was compared. Results: The awareness rate of recommended daily salt intake, the awareness of hypertension caused or aggravated by more salt intake, the attitude support rate and behavior rate of adults were 31.77%, 88.56%, 90.27% and 53.86%, respectively. After weighted adjustment, the awareness rate of recommended daily salt intake was 31.08%, which increased with age (χ2trend=431.56, P<0.001) and education level (χ2trend=95.44, P<0.001). The awareness rate of women was higher than that of men (χ²=118.89, P<0.001), and the awareness rate of population in urban areas was higher than that of population in suburban areas (χ²=34.09, P=0.001). The awareness rate of hypertension caused or aggravated by eating more salt was 86.73%. The support rate of salt reduction attitude was 90.45%. The rate of salt-reducing behavior was 54.05%. Among different salt reduction measures, reducing salt when cooking was the most common measure (52.41%), while the least common one (35.22%) was using low sodium salt. Logistic regression model analysis showed that the gender, age, education level, self-reported history of hypertension, awareness of salt recommendation, awareness of hypertension caused or aggravated by eating more salt, and salt reduction attitude were significantly associated with salt reduction behavior. Conclusion: In 2017, adults in Beijing have a basic understanding of the impact of high-salt diet on health and support salt reduction, but the rate of salt reduction behavior is still relatively low. There are obvious gender and age differences, and the salt reduction measure is simple. Targeted measures should be taken to promote the formation of salt reduction behavior.

[The application value of chronic disease self-management project in promoting pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].

Objective: To explore the role of chronic disease self-management program (CDSMP) in promoting pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . Methods: In June 2017 and December 2018, 380 COPD patients were selected from the health management center of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University during the same period. They were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. At the end of the study, 17 cases were lost to follow-up and 5 cases were withdrawn from the study. Finally, 175 and 183 patients in the experimental group and the control group completed the study. The experimental group was treated with CDSMP for 6 months, while the control group was not intervened. Lung function and blood gas analysis results, lung rehabilitation related indicators and SF-36 scores were compared between the two groups before and after intervention. The measurement data were expressed by Mean±SD, and the comparison between the two groups was performed by t test. The count data were expressed by frequency and constituent ratio (%) . Chi square test or rank sum test was used for comparison between groups. Results: After CDSMP intervention, compared with the control group, the 6MWD, weekly moderate intensity exercise time, weekly moderate intensity exercise frequency and self exercise efficacy score of the experimental group were significantly increased, and the single exercise duration was longer, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The physiological function score, general health score, physical energy score, mental health score and total score of the experimental group were higher, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: CDSMP may have a certain effect in promoting lung rehabilitation in COPD patients.

Environmental impacts of nitrogen emissions in China and the role of policies in emission reduction.

Atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) has been a cause of serious environmental pollution in China. Historically, China used too little Nr in its agriculture to feed its population. However, with the rapid increase in N fertilizer use for food production and fossil fuel consumption for energy supply over the last four decades, increasing gaseous Nr species (e.g. NH3 and NOx) have been emitted to the atmosphere and then deposited as wet and dry deposition, with adverse impacts on air, water and soil quality as well as plant biodiversity and human health. This paper reviews the issues associated with this in a holistic way. The emissions, deposition, impacts, actions and regulations for the mitigation of atmospheric Nr are discussed systematically. Both NH3 and NOx make major contributions to environmental pollution but especially to the formation of secondary fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which impacts human health and light scattering (haze). In addition, atmospheric deposition of NH3 and NOx causes adverse impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems due to acidification and eutrophication. Regulations and practices introduced by China that meet the urgent need to reduce Nr emissions are explained and resulting effects on emissions are discussed. Recommendations for improving future N management for achieving 'win-win' outcomes for Chinese agricultural production and food supply, and human and environmental health, are described. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Air quality, past present and future'.

[Application strategy and effect of cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula in the treatment of postoperative complications of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer].

Objective: To Investigate the application strategy and effect of cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula in the treatment of postoperative complications of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. Methods: A total of 60 patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer occurred serious postoperative complications, including 31 cases of severe postoperative neck infection, 8 cases of dyspnea, 5 cases of massive hemorrhage and 16 cases of seriously intractable aspiration. The tracheal cannula with inner cannula and outer cuff was immediately worn on these patients and the cuff was inflated. Different treatments were carried out according to different complications. The outer cuffs were inflated for patients with severe neck infections to prevent a large amount of neck secretions inhaled to the trachea. Patients with dyspnea immediately received ventilator-assisted ventilation. For those with massive hemorrhage on the wound, doctors should prevent bleeding and stop bleeding under general anesthesia. Patients with severely coughing should perform eating training to prevent food aspiration. The inner cannula was regularly replaced once a month for all of these patients. Results: Through targeted treatment, the complications of 60 patients with cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula were effectively controlled. After dressing change, the neck wounds of 31 patients with neck infection were shrunk or healed. Finally, all of the patients were replaced with metal tracheal tubes. Eight cases with dyspnea were rescued with the symptomatic and related special treatment, and finally replace by metal tracheal tube. Five cases with massive bleeding in the neck wound were successfully rescued and replaced with metal tracheal cannula. Thirteen patients among 16 cases with intractable aspiration were removed the tracheal cannula and other 3 cases of old and severely ill were replaced with metal tracheal cannula. Conclusions: The cuffed tracheostomy tube with inner cannula is of great value in the treatment of severe postoperative complications of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. It is strongly recommended that the operators should fully understand and use it reasonably after the operation of laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer.

[Radiography study on osteotome sinus floor elevation with placed implant simultaneously with no graft augmentation].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the change of endo-sinus bone height and bone volume in osteotome sinus floor elevation (OSFE) without bone graft but placing implants simultaneously by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and three dimensional analysis, and to find the impacting factors on endo-sinus bone augmentation. METHODS: OSFE was performed in 38 edentulous patients with missing teeth at posterior maxillary region, and 44 implants were placed and referred for OSFE using no graft materials. CBCT was performed pre-surgery and 9－68 months post-surgery when the patients encountered another implant surgery. The gained bone height at mesial, distal, buccal and palatal sites around the implant in sinus were measured, volumetric measurements of the endo-sinus gained bone volume (ESGBV) in the elevated region were calculated by Mimics software. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were performed to investigate the impacting factors on the gained bone height and ESGBV. Marginal bone loss was recorded according to the periapical radiography after implant restoration. RESULTS: The mean residual bone height (RBH) pre-surgery was (3.41±1.23) mm, the mean protruded length (PL) into sinus of implant post-surgery was (3.41±1.28) mm, the mean endo-sinus gained bone height was (2.44±1.23) mm at distal sites, (2.88±1.20) mm at mesial sites, (2.83±1.22) mm at buccal sites and (2.96±1.16) mm at palatal sites, the mean endo-sinus gained bone height at distal sites was significantly lower than the other three sites (P < 0.05). The average endo-sinus gained bone height was (2.78±1.13) mm. The mean ESGBV was (122.15± 73.27) mm3. Univariate analysis showed the more RBH, the less bone height gained in sinus, which existed at buccal, lingual, mesial and distal sites (P < 0.001), and the more RBH, the smaller ESGBV gained (P=0.012). The ESGBV was significantly higher in the subjects whose bone generation period was more than 24 months than those whose bone generation period less than 24 months (P=0.034). The more PL, the more bone height and ESGBV gained (P=0.008). Multivariate analysis showed after adjusting factors of gender, age, smoking, width of sinus floor, thickness of sinus membrane pre-surgery, diameter and length of the implant, PL and bone generation period was positively correlated with mean endo-sinus gained bone height and ESGBV, while RBH negatively correlated with mean endo-sinus gained bone height. During the follow-up, the mean marginal bone loss was 0 (0－1.41) mm and all the implants loaded successfully. CONCLUSION: OSFE without bone graft but with placed implant simultaneously can increase endo-sinus gained bone height and ESGBV. RBH, PL and bone generation period are the significant factors impacting endo-sinus bone augmentation.

[The correlation between the severity of uncovertebral joints degeneration and heterotopic ossification after single-level artificial cervical disc replacement].

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the severity of uncovertebral joints degeneration and heterotopic ossification (HO) after single-level artificial cervical disc replacement (ACDR). Methods: From January 2005 to January 2016, 70 patients who had undergone single-level ACDR in Peking University Third Hospital and had at least 5 years follow-up were included in this study. There were 35 males and 35 females with an average age of (42±8) years (range, 25-62 years). Cervical spine A-P X-rays were taken to assess the degeneration of uncovertebral joints and lateral X-rays were taken to assess the degeneration of intervertebral space. Cervical spine lateral and the flexion-extension X-rays at 5 years follow up were taken to assess HO. Degeneration of uncovertebral joints were evaluated by the classification system set-up in Peking University Third Hospital. Kellgren&Lawrence grading system was used to evaluate the degeneration of intervertebral space. HO was evaluated by the McAfee grading standards. The data were collected before surgery and at 5-years follow-up, then the correlation between degeneration of uncovertebral joints, degeneration of intervertebral space and HO was analyzed with Spearman non-parametric test. Results: The average follow-up time of 70 patients was (62.7±4.8) years (range, 52-74 months). There was a significant positive correlation between preoperative uncovertebral joints degeneration and HO after ACDR (r=0.585, P<0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between preoperative intervertebral space degeneration and HO (r=0.557, P<0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between preoperative intervertebral space degeneration and preoperative uncovertebral joints degeneration (r=0.727, P<0.01). Conclusion: There is a significant positive correlation between preoperative uncovertebral joints degeneration and HO after ACDR.

[A qualitative study on HIV related risk behaviors, current status and need for prevention services among 28 money boys].

Objective: To understand the characteristics of HIV-related risk behaviors and needs for prevention services among males who sell sex for money or anything of value (commonly known as money boys or MB), and to provide evidence for the development of targeted interventions. Methods: Using non-probability purposive sampling method and one-on-one interviews. Results: A total of 28 MBs were interviewed, with age range between 20 and 67, and education primarily at junior high school level. Among them 6 were married. Their household registration for residency cut across 15 provinces, and their sexual orientation is diverse. They migrate primarily among tier one cities and provincial capitals. Most enter the trade for economic reasons, relying on clubs and personal networks to find clients, and on word of mouth to obtain knowledge and skills. In addition to their primary clientele of the male homosexual community, 5 out of 28 serve male heterosexuals and 6 out of 28 also serve females. They have some awareness of self protection from diseases, primarily from word of mouth. Nevertheless, over half of them cannot maintain consistent condom use, and 12 out of 28 have a history of illegal drug use. Three of them reported being tested positive for HIV, and all continue to engage in sex work. They prefer their communication messages to be simple and straight-forward. Privacy comes first when they are accessing testing and treatment services. Conclusion: The bridge role of the MB community in transmitting HIV to the general population cannot be ignored, and interventions targeting the MB population need to be strengthened.

[Analysis of the therapeutic effect of stent-assisted embolization and surgical clipping for the treatment of middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysms].

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of stent-assisted embolization and surgical clipping in the treatment of middle cerebral artery bifurcation wide-necked aneurysms. Methods: From July 2014 to March 2017, the clinical and imaging data of 45 patients with Hunt-Hess 0-Ⅲ grade middle cerebral artery bifurcation wide-necked aneurysms were divided into stent-assisted embolization group (20 patients from PLA Rocktet Army Hospital) and surgical clipping group (25 patients from Peking University International Hospital). The total occlusion rates of aneurysm, operation-related adverse events, clinical outcomes, and results of follow-up imaging from the two groups were compared. Results: The total occlusion rates in the stent-assisted embolization group and surgical clipping group were 90.0% (18/20) and 92.0% (23/25), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.815). The favorable six-month postoperative outcomes defined as the modified Rankin Scale ≤2 were 94.7% (18/19) in the stent-assisted embolization group and 91.3% (21/23) in the surgical clipping group (P=0.667). Fewer patients experienced the operation-related adverse events in the stent-assisted embolization group (15.0%, 3/20), as compared to that of the surgical clipping group (24.0%, 6/25), but the difference were not significant (P=0.453). After 2-24 months (median 7 months) of the operation, the follow-up imaging indicated that in the stent-assisted embolization group, 2 out of the 19 patients had residual or recurrent aneurysms.While in the surgical clipping group, residual or recurrent aneurysms were identified in 2 out of the 23 patients 2-14 months (median 3 months) after the surgery; the frequency was not statistically different between the two groups (P=0.841). Conclusion: Stent assisted embolization is a safe and effective treatment for the low grade middle cerebral artery bifurcation wide-necked aneurysms.
