ABSTRACT
Objective:Data mining technology was used to analyze the regulation of food therapy prescriptions in treating children′s stagnation.Methods:Collect the therapy prescriptions used for regulating children's stagnation in the Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions, the Complete Record of Dietary Therapy Prescriptions of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Dictionary of Chinese Medicinal Diet, extract the information of prescription name, composition, etc, and use SPSS 22.0 for frequency analysis, and use Weka for correlation analysis. Results:A total of 99 dietary prescriptions for children with hysteria were included, involving a total of 62 foods, with a total use frequency of 224 times, among which the food with high use frequency were chicken gizzard, japonica rice, hawthorn, etc. The four characteristics of food were mainly concentrated in the flat, the five tastes were mainly concentrated in the sweet, the return channel was mainly concentrated in the spleen and stomach channel, and the effect was mainly concentrated in the absorption of food and tonic deficiency. The main symptoms of the therapeutic prescription for children's accumulation of stagnation were internal accumulation of milk and food and combination of spleen deficiency. The commonly used food combination for children's accumulation of stagnation of milk and food was "fructus amomi - chicken gizzard". The commonly used food combination of children with spleen deficiency and accumulation of stagnation was "lentil bean-yam-japonica rice" and "millet-yam".Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine diet prescription for the treatment of children's accumulation of stagnation pay attention to harmony and regulation, sweet and slow tonifying, emphasizing the adjustment of the spleen and stomach, taking into account the regulation of lung, following the "eliminating and supplementing both, according to the cause of treatment" rule, advocate syndrome differentiation of food.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze differences of eplets between the patient who generated HLA allele-specific antibodies after platelet transfusion with donors. 【Methods】 The HLA genotypes of the patient and donors were detected by PCR-SBT, and the Luminex single antigen beads coating was used to screen HLA-Ⅰ antibodies in the patient’s serum. HLA Matchmaker was utilized to analyze different amino acids and eplets. 【Results】 The patient carried HLA-A*02∶03 allele, and HLA-A2 antibodies were found in his serum after platelet transfusion (A*02∶01, A*02∶06, and A*02∶07). Sequence alignment showed that the patient′s A*02∶03 has a difference in position 149, which resulted in a different eplet between A*02∶03 and A*02∶01, A*02∶06, A*02∶07 and then induced the production of antibodies. 【Conclusion】 HLA antibodies are specific for HLA epitopes that have structural differences due to amino acid differences between HLA alleles, suggesting that high-resolution typing of HLA-A, -B need to be conducted in patients and donors, and the acceptable mismatch of HLA should be determined based on epitopes rather than antigens, so as to reduce alloimmune response and improve platelet count after transfusion.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of rhubarb decoction （RD） retention enema on a rat model of minimal hepatic encephalopathy （MHE） and its mechanism of action based on bile acid （BA） metabolomics. MethodsA total of 55 male Sprague－Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group （NC group with 10 rats）， hepatic encephalopathy group （HE group with 15 rats）， MHE group with 15 rats， and MHE+rhubarb decoction treatment group （MHEY group with 15 rats）. Intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride （CCl4） and thioacetamide （TAA） was performed to establish a rat model of MHE or HE， and the rats were sacrificed after 2 weeks of administration. The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， total bilirubin （TBil）， and total bile acid （TBA） and the concentration of blood ammonia were measured； the colonic contents were collected to measure pH value； liver and brain tissue samples were collected， and HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the liver； the bile was collected， and liquid chromatography－mass spectrometry was used to perform BA－targeted metabolomics analysis. Continuous data were expressed as mean±standard deviation； a one－way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t－test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the NC group， the HE group and the MHE group had a significant increase in searching platform latency （after modelling and after administration） and a significant reduction in the number of platform crossings （all P<0.05）； compared with the MHE group， the MHEY group had a significant reduction in searching platform latency （after administration） and a significant increase in the number of platform crossings， and the HE group had a significant increase in searching platform latency and a significant reduction in the number of platform crossings （all P<0.05）. Compared with the NC group， the HE group and the MHE group had significant increases in AST， ALT， ALP， TBil， TBA， blood ammonia， and colon pH value （all P<0.05）； compared with the MHE group， the MHEY group had significant reductions in AST， ALT， ALP， TBil， TBA， blood ammonia， and colon pH value （all P<0.05）， and the HE group had significant increases in AST， ALT， ALP， TBil， TBA， blood ammonia， and colon pH value （all P<0.05）. The MHE group had significantly lower TBA， primary BA， and secondary BA than the NC group （all P<0.05）； compared with the MHE group， the HE group had significantly lower TBA and primary BA （all P<0.05）， and the MHEY group had significantly higher TBA and primary BA （all P<0.05）. Compared with the NC group， the MHE group had significant reductions in GCDCA， GUDCA， GHDCA， TCDCA， TUDCA， GLCA， and TLCA （all P<0.05） and significant increases in γ－MCA， THCA， 7－KDCA， AlloLCA， and α－MCA （all P<0.05）， and compared with the MHE group， the MHEY group had significant increases in THDCA， TMCA， TCDCA， TUDCA， and TLCA （all P<0.05）. ConclusionRD retention enema can improve liver injury and cognitive function in a rat model of MHE induced by CCl4 and TAA by regulating the enterohepatic circulation of BA， possibly by increasing the synthesis of taurine－binding BA.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the status of in stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and explore the risk factors.Methods:From December 2019 to December 2020, 158 patients with AMI and DM who were treated by PCI in Qionghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College were selected. They were followed up for one year after surgery to calculate the incidence of ISR. The patients were divided into ISR group and non ISR group according to whether ISR occurred. The difference of clinical data between the two groups was compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of ISR in AMI patients with DM 1 year after PCI.Results:55 patients were followed up for 1 year, and the incidence of ISR was 34.81% (55/158). There were significant difference between ISR group and non ISR group in hypertension history, old myocardial infarction history, smoking, exercise ratio, preoperative low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total bilirubin (TBIL), blood uric acid (UA), plasma fibrinogen (FIB), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c) levels, coronary artery lesion number, stenosis degree, stent length, stent diameter (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension history, smoking, LDL-C, FIB, HbA 1c and stent length were independent risk factors for ISR in AMI patients with DM after PCI, and exercise and appropriate increase of stent diameter were protective factors (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of ISR in AMI patients with DM at 1 year after PCI is relatively high, and its occurrence is related to many factors. In order to reduce the risk of ISR after PCI, we should encourage smoking cessation, exercise, strengthen the monitoring of biochemical indicators, and appropriately increase the diameter of stent during PCI.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the clinical risk factors for osteoporotic fracture (OF) risk prediction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using adjusted fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) .Methods:A cross-sectional study of 429 patients with T2DM who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology and Geriatrics of the Affiliated Huaian No. 1 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from Sep. 2019 to Sep. 2020 was conducted. Participants were divided into OF low-risk group and OF high-risk group. Participant characteristics (age, gender, height, weight, waist, blood pressure, history of drug treatment, serum glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) , triglyceride, serum uric acid, alkaline phosphatase, and thyroid stimulating hormone levels, urine protein/creatinine ratio, urea, creatinine and TPOAB) and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry results were obtained and analyzed. Logistic regression model was used to investigate the relationship between the OF risk of T2DM assessed by adjusted FRAX and clinical risk factors.Results:Patients in the OF high-risk group accounted for 9.09% of the subjects. After adjustment for other variables, the duration of diabetes was still positively associated with significantly elevated risk of OF assessed by adjusted FRAX ( OR 7.660, 95% CI 1.661-35.334, P=0.009) , whereas the blood uric acid was negatively associated with significantly elevated risk of OF assessed by adjusted FRAX ( OR 0.345, 95 % CI 0.128-0.928, P=0.035) .Likewise, LDL-C levels decreased the odds of the risk of OF assessed by adjusted FRAX ( OR 0.316, 95 % CI 0.114-0.881, P=0.028) . There was no significant relationship between alkaline phosphatase ( OR 1.902, 95 % CI 0.904-4.004, P=0.090) as well as total cholesterol ( OR 0.297, 95% CI 0.056~1.560, P=0.151) levels and the elevated risk of OF assessed by adjusted FRAX. Conclusion:Diabetes duration could be a risk factor for OF risk prediction in patients with T2DM using adjusted FRAX, and serum uric acid and LDL-C could be protective factors for OF risk prediction in patients with T2DM using adjusted FRAX.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To analyze the results and rationality of the lesion-focused strategy with subsegment as the pulmonary anatomical unit for pulmonary nodules with a diameter of ≤2 cm which require surgery. Methods Clinical data of 246 patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 76 males and 170 females, with an average age of 53.30±11.82 years. The patients were divided into four groups, a single segmentectomy group, a segmentectomy combined with adjacent subsegmentectomy group, a single subsegmentectomy group and a combined subsegmentectomy group, according to the different surgical approaches, to compare preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative related data. Results There was no perioperative death. Among the four groups, there was no statistical difference in gender (P=0.163), age (P=0.691), diameter of the nodule (P=0.743), longitudinal position of the nodule (depth ratio, P=0.831), postoperative pulmonary leakage (P=0.752), intraoperative blood loss (P=0.135), pathological type (P=0.951) or TNM stage (P=0.995); there were statistical differences in transverse position of the nodule (P<0.001) and number of subsegments involved (P<0.001). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with combined subsegmentectomy, the odds ratio (OR) of the lung nodule in segmentectomy combined with adjacent subsegmentectomy as intersegment nodules was 5.759 (95%CI 1.162 to 28.539, P=0.032). Conclusion The surgical strategy of lesion focused and subsegment as anatomical unit is safe and feasible for surgical treatment of pulmonary nodules with diameter ≤2 cm. The transverse position of the nodules is an important factor affecting the choice of surgical method for the middle and lateral nodules with a diameter of ≤2 cm, and the longitudinal location of the nodule is not an influencing factor. For nodules in inner zone, the diameter also is one of the factors influencing the choice of surgical method.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns of common pathogens in children with urinary tract infections in a single center in Shanghai, and to provide basis for the selection of empirical antibiotics in the clinical practice.Methods:The clinical data, urine culture and drug sensitivity tests results of children with urinary tract infections between 0 to 14 years admitted to the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the time of onset and the complicated factors, the patients were divided into different groups. The distributions and antimicrobial resistance patterns of common pathogens were compared among the groups. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among the 1 832 children, 1 042 cases had positive urine culture, with the culture positive rate of 56.9%. The top five pathogens detected were Escherichia coli (375 strains, 36.0%), Enterococcus faecium (164 strains, 15.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (133 strains, 12.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (95 strains, 9.1%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (44 strains, 4.2%). The annual detection rates of gram-negative bacteria (65.3% to 72.9%) were always higher than those of gram-positive bacteria (22.6% to 30.1%). The distributions of pathogens among the years were not significantly different ( χ2 =27.79, P=0.146). In patients with complicated urinary tract infections, the detection rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.8%(40/688) vs 1.1%(4/354)) and fungi (6.5%(45/688) vs 1.7%(6/354)) were significantly higher than those in patients with simple urinary tract infections ( χ2=12.68 and 11.79, respectively, both P<0.050). Both of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae had the highest resistance rates to ampicillin, which were 87.2%(301/345) and 87.1%(115/132), respectively. The resistance rates of Escherichia coli to amikacin, nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin, cefmetazole, piperacillin/tazobactam, ertapenem, imipenem and meropenem were 1.4%(5/345), 6.1%(21/345), 6.1%(21/345), 8.3%(11/132), 11.6%(40/345), 6.4%(22/345), 4.6%(16/345) and 4.6%(16/345), respectively. The resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to these drugs were 6.1%(8/132), 37.9%(50/132), 15.2%(20/132), 23.2%(13/56), 26.5%(35/132), 23.5%(31/132), 17.4%(23/132) and 16.7%(22/132), respectively, which were all higher than those of Escherichia coli, and the differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=6.02, 76.17, 9.99, 7.94, 16.04, 28.29, 20.79 and 18.84, respectively, all P<0.050). The resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and ceftazidime were 6.8%(3/44), 4.5%(2/44) and 2.3%(1/44), respectively, while those to carbapenems, amikacin and ciprofloxacin were all 0(0/44). The resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium to ampicillin was 96.8%(153/158), while that of Enterococcus faecalis was 9.1%(8/88). There was no Enterococcus strain resistant to vancomycin, teicoplanin or linezolid. When dynamically comparing the trends of the antimicrobial resistance from 2016 to 2019, the resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to β-lactams (including carbapenems) antimicrobial agents had shown a downward trend. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are still the main pathogens of urinary tract infections in children, with a downward trend of drug resistance rates to β-lactams (including carbapenems) antimicrobial agents.
ABSTRACT
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells are the most essential components of the tumor microenvironment (TME). They communicate with each other in tumor microenvironment and play a critical role in tumorigenesis and development. CAFs are very heterogeneous and different subtypes of CAFs display different functions. At the same time, it can contribute to the regulation of the function of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and eventually result in the carcinogenesis, tumor progression, invasion, metastasis and other biological behaviors of tumors by producting various growth factors and cytokines etc. Based on the current research results at home and abroad, this paper reviews the recent research progress on the regulation of CAFs on infiltrating immune cells in tumor microenvironment. .

ABSTRACT
The rapid development of professional technology not only brings great benefits to patients, but also reveals the problem of non-technical skills. Technical competence is not enough to avoid the occurrence of adverse medical events or to get optimal post-operative outcomes. The development of technology is endless, we are desperate in need of non-technical skills, such as situation awareness, decision making, communication and teamwork, leadership. The only way we could achieve in the assistance of the perfect surgical operation with the combination of excellent surgical techniques and solid non-technical skills, and therefore relieve the patients as much as possible.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of interstitial lung disease(ILD) on postoperative morbidity and mortality in pulmonary resection for lung cancer patients.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 971 patients undergoing pulmonary operation from January 2010 to January 2018 in our hospital. Clinical data including age, sex, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD), smoking history, smoking index, American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) classification, forced expiratory volume in 1 s(FEV1) % predict, surgical procedure, video assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) or not, intraoperative blood transfusion, anesthesia time, operation time/one-lung ventilation time, blood loss, histology, postoperative morbidity, 60-days mortality, onset of acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease(AE-ILD), drainage, extubation time, and postoperative stay were collected and analyzed.Results:There were 80(8.2%) and 891(91.8%) patients in ILD and non-ILD group, respectively. AE-ILD occurred in 5 patients, with a 60-day mortality of 80%. A multivariate regression analysis identified that the sex( P=0.023), ILD( P=0.001), COPD( P=0.027) were independent risk factors for postoperative morbidity. ILD( P=0.023) and postoperative morbidity( P=0.001) were independent risk factors for 60-day mortality in multivariate analysis. Conclusion:Patients with ILD had a higher incidence of postoperative morbidity and 60-day mortality. Based on the obvious postoperative morbidity and mortality, special attention and management should be taken in ILD patients.

Objective@#To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of extrahepatic biliary neuroendocrine neoplasms(EB-NENs).@*Methods@#The clinical data and survival of 21 patients with EB-NENs admitted from May 2014 to May 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.@*Results@#These 21 EB-NENs patients accounted for 1.6% (21/1313) of all biliary tract neoplasms treated during the study period. Seven (33.3%) cases had lymph node metastasis. Five (23.8%) suffered from distant metastasis. The follow up time was (4~46.5) months with median survival time of (23.23 ±4.17) months. Univariate analysis showed that the risk factors for survival were tumor TNM stage (χ2=9.066, P=0.003), lymph node metastasis(χ2=6.399, P=0.011) and distant metastasis (χ2=9.808, P=0.002). By multivariate analysis, independent risk factors were tumor TNM stage(P=0.008, RR=3.003, 95% CI: 1.332~6.774), lymph node metastasis(P=0.023, RR=5.382, 95% CI: 1.261~22.971) and distant metastasis or not(P=0.007, RR=7.423, 95% CI: 1.730~31.851).@*Conclusion@#EB-NENs was a rare malignant tumor with poor prognosis. Tumor TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were independent prognostic factors for EB-NENs patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the safety and effectiveness of transthoracic endoscopic thyroid surgery in thyroid surgery.@*Methods@#Retrospectively analyzed 230 patients with thyroid tumor aged from 19 to 71 years, including 67 males and 163 females, who were admitted to General minimally invasive surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from March 2018 to August 2019. All patients were divided into traditional operation group (n=95) and endoscopic group (n=135) according to the operation method. The general information of the two groups of patients before surgery, including the time of surgery and tumor removal, amount of bleeding during surgery, postoperative drainage and extubation time, were compared. And the hospital stay, hoarseness, postoperative bleeding, incision infection, numbness, twitching, satisfaction and other related indicators were calculated also. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD, and conparisons between groups were calculated by t test or χ2 test. The non-normally distributed data were expressed as M(P25, P75) and were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test.@*Results@#Compared with the preoperative general data, the number of nodules in the traditional group was 3.00 (2.00, 3.00), and the number of nodules in the endoscope group was 2.00 (1.00, 3.00). The difference was statistically significant (Z=-4.461, P<0.01). The maximum diameter of the tumor in the traditional group is 1.00 (1.00, 2.00) cm, and the maximum diameter of the tumor in the endoscope group is 1.00 (1.00, 2.00) cm. The two are statistically significant (Z=-2.041, P=0.041). There were no significant differences in age, gender, course of disease, nodule type, cystic change, nodule location, aspect ratio, nodule echo, nodular morphology, and nodular calcification (all P>0.05). Comparison of intraoperative indicators, the operation time of the traditional group was shorter than that of the endoscope group [(67.51 ± 9.27) min vs (89.86 ± 10.32) min, t=11.462, P<0.01]; the tumor removal time of the traditional group was also shorter than that of the endoscope group [( 28.37 ± 8.94) min vs (33.35 ± 7.39) min, t=5.456, P<0.01]; the blood loss in the traditional group was significantly more than that in the endoscope group [(51.34 ± 3.26) ml vs (20.65 ± 5.89) ml, t=14.723, P<0.01]. The recurrent laryngeal nerve was explored intraoperatively in both groups with a detection rate of 100%, the anesthesia was good in both groups, and the drainage tubes were indwelling in both groups. The drainage volume of the traditional group was significantly higher than that of the endoscope group [(135.76 ± 60.55) ml vs (69.12 ± 37.13) ml, t=10.805, P<0.01]. The extubation time was longer in the traditional group than in the endoscope group [(5.54 ± 1.44) d vs (4.66 ± 1.55) d, t=2.384, P=0.023]. In terms of hospitalization time, the traditional group was significantly longer than the endoscope group [(10.48 ± 5.37) d vs (7.25 ± 3.68) d, t=11.549, P<0.01]. There were 11 cases of hoarseness in the traditional group and 4 cases of hoarseness in the endoscope group, and there has statistically significant (χ2=6.790, P=0.009). There were 5 cases of postoperative bleeding in the traditional group, 1 case of postoperative bleeding in the endoscope group, the difference between the two was statistically significant (χ2=4.365, P=0.037); 5 cases of incision infection in the traditional group, none in the endoscope group, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.012); 4 cases of numbness convulsions in the traditional group, none in the endoscope group, and there was statistical significance (P=0.028); 87 cases of satisfaction in the traditional group, and 134 cases of satisfaction in the endoscope group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.825, P=0.009).@*Conclusions@#Transthoracic endoscopic thyroid surgery has fewer complications in thyroid surgery and quicker postoperative recovery. It is worthy of widespread promotion, but the specific implementation plan needs to be further optimized.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the glycemic control of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes with different levels of baseline body mass index (BMI) after 6 months treatment under the standardized metabolic disease management model.@*Methods@#(1) 163 patients of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes were divided into normal weight (BMI 18.5-23.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 24.0-27.9 kg/m2), and obese (BMI≥28 kg/m2) groups according to baseline BMI, the blood glucose and lipids levels were compared among 3 groups. (2) The blood glucose levels were compared among 3 groups after 6 months of standardized management. (3) The overweight and obese patients were divided into group weight loss≥5% and group weight loss<5% or weight gain in 6 months. The blood glucose levels were compared.@*Results@#(1) At baseline, overweight and obese groups had higher homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance and lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol compared with normal weight group. (2) After 6 months of treatment, HbA1C and HbA1C reduction showed no difference among 3 groups (normal, overweight and obese) after adjusted by baseline HbA1C. The rate of HbA1C<7% among 3 groups were 77.78%, 83.95%, and 80.43% (P>0.05). (3) After 6 months of treatment, 32.28% overweight and obese patients lost weight by ≥ 5%, while HbA1Cand HbA1Creduction showed no difference between 2 groups (weight loss≥5% and weight gain or weight loss<5%) after adjusted by baseline HbA1C. Both groups achieved good glycemic control [(6.27±1.38 vs 6.43±0.66)%], but have no significantly(P>0.05). Group weight loss≥5% had better glucose control (92.68% vs 77.91%, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#As BMI increased, insulin resistance and lipid disorders were more serious in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. After 6 months of standardized metabolic management, newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes with different baseline BMI and weight changes both achieved good glycemic control. In addition, patients losing weight equal to or more than 5% achieved higher attainment of HbA1C targets.
