ABSTRACT
Originally used as an antimalarial drug,hydroxychloroquine is now widely used in the treatment of rheumatic immune diseases due to its cost-effectiveness,safety,and efficacy.In addition to its immunomodulatory effects,hydroxychloroquine also exhibits anti thrombotic,anti-hypolipidemic,and anti-hypoglycemic properties.Hydroxychloroquine blood levels are correlated with clinical outcomes and adverse reactions,and can reflect patient compliance.However,due to the complex pharmacokinetic profile of hydroxychloroquine,significant inter-individual differences in blood concentration exist even with the administration of the same dosage.This study investigates the factors affecting the blood concentration of hydroxychloroquine in terms of physiological factors,pathological factors,metabolic enzyme gene polymorphisms,and drug-related factors.The aim is to provide a reference for rational clinical use and the development of individualized dosing.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of thyroid volume in children aged 8 - 10 in Yunnan Province, and provide scientific basis for improving iodine deficiency disorders monitoring.Methods:From March to July 2020, in 129 counties (cities, districts) under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province, each county (city, district) was divided into 5 sampling areas based on east, west, south, north, and middle. One township was selected from each area, and 40 non-boarding children aged 8 - 10 from one primary school were selected from each township (age balanced, half male and half female) as survey subjects. One random urine sample and household edible salt samples were collected for urine iodine and salt iodine testing, and physical examination and thyroid volume measurement were conducted for children. The influencing factors of thyroid volume were analyzed using Pearson correlation.Results:A total of 24 934 urine samples were collected from children, with a median urine iodine of 233.2 μg/L. A total of 24 933 household edible salt samples were collected from children, the median salt iodine was 24.17 mg/kg, and the qualified rate of iodized salt was 96.63% (24 003/24 839); A total of 24 937 children were examined of their thyroid gland, with a median thyroid volume of 2.62 ml and a goiter rate of 1.12% (280/24 937). Among them, there were 12 410 boys and 12 527 girls, with thyroid volumes of 2.61 and 2.64 ml, respectively. The thyroid volume of boys was positively correlated with age, height, weight, body mass index, body surface area, and salt iodine ( r = 0.15, 0.21, 0.26, 0.18, 0.25, 0.03, P < 0.001). The thyroid volume of girls was positively correlated with age, height, weight, body mass index, and body surface area ( r = 0.17, 0.26, 0.28, 0.17, 0.27, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Children aged 8 - 10 in Yunnan Province are at an iodine excess level; the age, weight, height, body mass index, and body surface area are influencing factors of thyroid volume.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the anxiety level, influencing factors among surrogate decision-makers of patients with acute ischemic stroke during thrombolysis decision-making, and their correlation with decision-making duration.Methods:Acute ischemic stroke patients and their surrogate decision-makers who visited the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects.Sociodemographic data and disease related data of patients and surrogate decision-makers were collected.Surrogate decision-makers were evaluated with the state-trait anxiety inventory, decision participation expectation scale, Wake Forest physician trust scale, and perceived social support scale.SPSS 26.0 software was used for data processing.Pearson correlation analysis, Spearman correlation analysis and ridge regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results:The score of state anxiety of decision-makers was (49.47±9.04), and 18.2% (70/383) of decision-makers had a decision duration exceeding 15 minutes.The score of state anxiety of decision-makers was positively correlated with decision duration ( r=0.189, P<0.001). The influencing factors of state anxiety level of decision-makers included sociodemographic factors (age of decision-makers and patients, relationship between payers and patients, whether decision-makers bear the current medical expenses, type of medical insurance for patients), psychological factors (trust level in physicians, perceived social support), factors related to patient disease (numbers of stroke relapses, National Institutes of Health stroke scale scores for patients), characteristics of the decision-making process (whether patients participate in the decision-making process, and the role of decision-makers in the decision-making process) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Most surrogate decision-makers experience anxiety.Medical staff should pay attention to the emotions of decision-makers and adopt appropriate communication skills when communicating with informed consent for thrombolysis, alleviate the anxiety of surrogate decision-makers, so as so reduce the decision-making duration.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application of 3.0T high resolution magnetic resonance imaging(HR-MRI)in acute ischemic stroke(AIS)and the influence factors of prognosis.Methods:A total of 92 AIS patients who underwent treatment in Hainan General Hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 were selected as the research objects.All patients were treated by thrombolytic therapy,and they were divided into favorable prognosis group(mRS scores≤2 points,n=66)and poor prognosis group(mRS score>2 points,n=26)according to modified Rankin Scale after they received 90d treatment.All of patients underwent Magnetom Trio type of 3.0 T HR-MRI examination within 1 week after they hospitalized,and the changes of luminal stenosis rate,the luminal area at the narrowest point,the plaque load,T2WIsignal intensity index,T1WI signal intensity index,plaque enhancement rate and other parameters were compared.The receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was adopted to analyze the predictive value of 3.0T HR-MRI parameters on the AIS prognosis.Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors that affected the prognosis of AIS patients.Results:The difference of infarction diameter between two groups was statistically significant(x2=6.574,P<0.05).The lumen area at the narrowest point in the poor prognosis group was significantly lower than that in the favorable prognosis group,while the T2WI signal intensity index,T1WI signal intensity index and plaque enhancement rate in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the favorable prognosis group(t=-3.378,4.443,4.413,3.890,P<0.05),respectively.ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve(AUC)values of T2WI signal intensity index,T1WI signal intensity index,lumen area at the narrowest point and plaque enhancement rate in predicting the AIS prognosis were respectively 0.743,0.739,0.706 and 0.748.The Logistic regression analysis showed that infarction diameter>3.0cm,T1WI signal intensity index,T2WI signal intensity index,lumen area at the narrowest point and plaque enhancement rate were respectively independent risk factors that could affect AIS prognosis(OR=3.889,257.151,105.073,4.091,1.121,P<0.05).Conclusion:3.0T HR-MRI has higher efficiency in the assessment for the prognosis of patients with AIS,which can provide guidance for the judgement of prognosis and the formulation of treatment scheme through observes the changes of a series of parameters include T2WI signal strength index,T1WI signal strength index,the lumen area at the narrowest point,plaque enhancement rate.The above parameters are risk factors that affect the prognosis of patients,which often represent the progress of patients'conditions.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the influencing factors for efficacy of microvascular decompression (MVD) in primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN).Methods:A retrospective study was performed. Clinical data of 178 patients with PTN underwent MVD at Department of Neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from January 2018 to April 2022 were collected. Efficacy was evaluated according to Brisman's criteria. Differences of MVD efficacy in patients with different clinical characteristics or different neurovascular characteristics were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for MVD efficacy.Results:All patients were followed up for about 2 years; at the last follow-up, 164 patients (92.13%) had good postoperative efficacy (130 were cured, 28 were obvious improved, and 6 were improved); 14 patients (7.87%) had poor postoperative efficacy (10 were ineffective and 4 were relapsed). No significant difference in surgical efficacy was noted among patients with different gender, age, left/right lateral pain, disease courses or pain degrees ( P>0.05). Patients with different contact degrees between the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels, different distances between the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels, and different curvature degrees of the posterior trigeminal nerve had significantly different surgical efficacy ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression indicated that contact degrees between the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels ( OR=0.233, 95% CI: 0.080-0.675, P=0.007), distances between the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels ( OR=6.991, 95% CI: 3.261-14.984, P=0.000), and curvature degrees of the posterior trigeminal nerve ( OR=0.351, 95% CI: 0.158-0.776, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for postoperative outcomes. Conclusion:The postoperative efficacy is good in patients with slight contact between the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels, with distance between the trigeminal nerve and blood vessels greater than 1×time median width of the trigeminal nerve (WTN), or with hypotenuse height of the arced trigeminal nerve less than 1/2 WTN.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of excessive weight gain during pregnancy in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal conditions， and to provide scientific evidence for formulating weight management strategies before and during pregnancy and prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes. MethodsClinical data of 2 172 parturients collected from a community in Huangpu District from 2017 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed， and they were divided into pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity group （n=530）， normal pre-pregnancy weight group（n=937）， and underweight pre-pregnancy group（n=705） according to maternal precursor body mass index （BMI）. Based on their weight gain during pregnancy，the parturient were divided into moderate gestational weight gain （MGWG） group and excessive gestational weight gain （EGWG） group. Meanwhile， the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage， puerperal infection， placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， mode of delivery， premature birth， stillbirth， fetal distress， admission to the intensive care unit （ICU）， macrosomia， and Apgar score， were recorded. Then the differences in pregnancy and neonatal outcomes between groups were compared. The effects of pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal conditions was retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group had higher proportions of placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， and macrosomia compared to the normal pre-pregnancy weight group and the underweight pre-pregnancy group， with Apgar scores lower than the normal pre-pregnancy weight group and the underweight pre-pregnancy group （all P<0.05）. The EGWG group had higher proportions of postpartum hemorrhage， placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia than the MGWG group （all P<0.05）. In the pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group， the EGWG group had higher proportions of placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia than the MGWG group， with lower Apgar scores than the MGWG group （all P<0.05）. In the normal pre-pregnancy weight group， the EGWG group had higher proportions of placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia than the MGWG group （all P<0.05）. In the pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group， the EGWG group had higher proportions of premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， and macrosomia than the EGWG group in the normal pre-pregnancy weight group（all P<0.05）. Logistic regression analysis showed that EGWG in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women was a risk factor for placental abruption （OR=2.971， 95%CI： 1.098‒8.042）， premature rupture of membranes （OR=4.662， 95%CI： 2.798‒7.770）， cesarean delivery （OR=1.375，95%CI： 1.260‒2.541）， premature birth （OR=4.249， 95%CI： 2.384‒7.573）， fetal distress （OR=3.238， 95%CI： 1.589‒6.598）， admission to the ICU （OR=3.010， 95%CI： 1.265‒7.164）， and macrosomia （OR=5.437， 95%CI： 3.392‒8.716） （all P<0.05）. ConclusionExcessive gestational weight gain in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women is a risk factors for placental abruption， premature rupture of membranes， cesarean section， premature birth， fetal distress， admission to the ICU， and macrosomia.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of overweight， obesity and central obesity among elderly residents in Xuhui District， and to analyze the epidemiological status of central obesity in elderly people with different body mass indexes. MethodsThe third round of health status and health service utilization monitoring data in Xuhui District was used. The information collected from questionnaire survey and physical examination were analyzed. SPSS 20.0 software was used for χ2 test， trend χ2 test and multinominal logistic regression analysis. Results5 096 survey subjects were included. The prevalence of overweight， general obesity， and central obesity in the residents aged 60 and above in Xuhui District were 34.3%， 6.5%， and 29.2%， respectively. There was gender difference in the rates of overweight， obesity， and central obesity among the residents. The overweight and central obesity rates in males were higher than those in females， while the obesity rate was lower than that in females （P<0.05）. Multinominal logistic regression analysis showed that in comparison with the normal weight non-central obesity group drinking only at party （OR=1.729， 95%CI： 1.184‒2.525）， and hypertension （OR=1.637， 95%CI： 1.305‒2.053）， were highly associated with normal weight with central obesity. Aged 60‒ years （OR=1.589， 95%CI： 1.190‒2.120）， aged 70‒ years （OR=1.763， 95%CI： 1.327‒2.342）， male （OR=1.379， 95%CI： 1.134‒1.676）， hypertension （OR=2.231， 95%CI： 1.878‒2.649）， former smokers （OR=1.437， 95%CI： 1.027‒2.011）， drinking at party only （OR=1.491， 95%CI： 1.107‒2.006）， and drinking ≥3 times per week （OR=1.611， 95%CI： 1.116‒2.325）， were highly associated with overweight combined with central obesity. Aged 60‒ years （OR=3.817， 95%CI： 2.251‒6.474）， aged 70‒ years （OR=3.084， 95%CI： 1.838‒5.175）， hypertension （OR=3.683， 95%CI： 2.753‒4.929）， diabetes （OR=2.085， 95%CI： 1.511‒2.878）， former smokers （OR=1.835， 95%CI： 1.043‒3.226）， were highly associated with compound obesity. Central obesity was found in the elderly residents with different BMI categories， and the rate of central obesity increased with the increase of BMI grade. ConclusionThe prevalence of overweight， obesity and central obesity among the elderly aged 60 years and above in Xuhui District is not optimistic. Attention should be paid to the elderly under 80 years old who are with hypertension and/or diabetes， alcohol consumption， low educational level and not doing physical exercise. Especially for the central obesity population with normal BMI， measures should be taken to prevent and intervene the occurrence of obesity and related diseases.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the results of fundus screening in 5 307 newborns and the related factors of fundus diseases.METHODS: A total of 5 307 newborns who underwent fundus screening in our ophthalmology department from January to December 2022 were selected. RetCam III system was used for fundus examination, and abnormal fundus conditions were recorded. The influencing factors of retinal hemorrhage in full-term infants and retinopathy of prematurity(ROP)in preterm infants were analyzed.RESULTS: The incidence of ocular abnormalities in newborns was 27.17%, with the highest incidence of retinal hemorrhage(61.23%), followed by retinal exudation(22.95%), ROP and ROP like retinopathy(10.68%). The incidence of morning glory syndrome(0.21%), albino fundus(0.21%), and permanent fetal vasculature(PFV; 0.28%)was lower. The incidence of eye abnormalities in full-term infants was lower than that in preterm infants(26.30% vs 30.08%, P<0.05), and the incidence of retinal hemorrhage and exudation in full-term infants was higher than that in preterm infants(P<0.05). The incidence of ROP and ROP like retinopathy in preterm infants was higher than that in full-term infants(P<0.05). Natural delivery is a risk factor for retinal hemorrhage in full-term infants(P<0.05). Fetal age(32-34, 30-31 wk), birth weight(1 500-2 499, <1 500 g), milk powder feeding, and oxygen inhalation are risk factors for ROP in premature infants(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The incidence of eye abnormalities in newborns at our hospital is relatively high, and early detection of eye abnormalities in newborns can be achieved through fundus screening.
ABSTRACT
Embryo implantation is one of the most critical steps in the reproductive process. The failure of embryo implantation to continue development is one of the important reasons leading to infertility. The success of embryo implantation depends on the high receptivity of endometrium and the embryo with implantation ability. Autophagy is a process in which cytoplasm， organelles， and inclusions are absorbed by double-membrane vesicles and transported to lysosomes for degradation and recycling， which is a way to maintain the homeostasis. A large amount of evidence have shown that autophagy plays an important role in all aspects of embryo implantation. Based on this， this paper explored the relationship between autophagy and endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation ability. According to the latest research progress， this paper combed 5 mechanisms （promotion of decidualization of endometrial stromal cells， promotion of apoptosis， regulation of hormone levels， coordination of inflammation， and promotion of ovulation） of 14 kinds of Chinese medicine monomers， including emodin， catalpol， paeoniflorin， resveratrol， folic acid， zearalenone， curcumin， wogonin， quercetin， chrysin， berberine， apigenin， phisetine， and kaempferol， in regulating different links of autophagy intervention in embryo implantation. This paper is expected to provide references and ideas for future Chinese medicine monomers to improve the success rate of embryo implantation.

Methods: In April 2021, a total of 4255 dust exposed workers from 47 enterprises in 2020 were included in the study. logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of abnormal pulmonary function in dust-exposed workers, and the corresponding nomogram prediction model was established. The model was evaluated by ROC curve, Calibrationpolt and decision analysis curve. Results: logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.02~1.05, P<0.001) , physical examination type (OR=4.52, 95%CI=1.69~12.10, P=0.003) , dust type (Comparison with coal dust, Cement dust, OR=3.45, 95%CI=1.45~8.18, P=0.005, Silica dust (OR=2.25, 95%CI=1.01~5.03, P=0.049) , blood pressure (OR=1.63, 95%CI=1.22~2.18, P=0.001) , creatinine (OR=0.08, 95%CI=0.05~0.12, P<0.001) , daily exposure time (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.10~1.12, P=0.034) and total dust concentration (OR=1.29, 95%CI=1.08~1.54, P=0.005) were the influencing factors of abnormal pulmonary function. The area under the ROC curve of risk prediction nomogram model was 0.764. The results of decision analysis curve showed that the nomogram model had reference value in the prevention and intervention of abnormal pulmonary function when the threshold probability exceeded 0.05. Conclusion: The accuracy ofthe nomogram model constructed by logistic regression werewell in predicting the risk of abnormal lung function of dust-exposed workers.

Objective To explore the efficacy and prognostic independent factors of modified island flap(OIF)and urethroplasty(tip)in the treatment of hypospadias in children.Methods The 164 children with hypospadias analyzed retrospectively were treated from February,2013 to February,2021.They were divided into two groups according to the operation method.82 patients in tip group were treated with tip and 82 patients in OIF group were treated with OIF.The treatment effects of the two groups were compared.Then they were divided into two groups according to the cure condition,namely,the good prognosis group(cured by operation,151 case)and the poor prognosis group(not cured by operation,13 case).Independent factors affecting the prognosis of children were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results The cure rate of OIF group was 96.34％,which was higher than that of the tip group(87.8％),and the incidence of postoperative complications in OIF group was 7.32％,which was lower than that of the tip group(23.17％,P＜0.05).The operation time in tip group(95.95±12.35)min,which was shorter than that of the OIF group(P＜0.05).At the same time,the binary logistic regression analysis showed that the degree of hypospadias and the classification of barcat were the prognostic factors of children with hypospadias.The degree of penis bending,the width of penis head and the method of operation were suspicious factors.Conclusion OIF and tip have good effects in the treatment of hypospadias in children.OIF has a higher success rate,tip has a shorter operation time and fewer postoperative complications.However,the independent factors affecting the prognosis of children are preoperative hypospadias classification and barcat classification.This operation method is not an independent factor affecting the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the post-traumatic growth status of patients with benign central airway stenosis undergoing interventional therapy, and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide basis for the formulation of measures to improve the treatment tolerance and quality of life of patients.Methods:Patients with benign central airway stenosis treated by interventional therapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Second Military Medical University from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected by convenient sampling. The general information questionnaire, Chinese Version of Post-traumatic Growth Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale and Chronic Disease Patients′ Health Literacy Management Scale were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of patients′ posttraumatic growth.Results:A total of 183 questionnaires were distributed, and 172 questionnaires were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 93.99% (172/183). The posttraumatic growth score of 172 patients was (62.66 ± 9.54) points; Pearson correlation analysis showed that perceived social support, health literacy and post-traumatic growth were positively correlated ( r=0.483, 0.246, both P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the degree of stenosis, the number of interventional therapy, social support, and health literacy were the main influencing factors for the post-traumatic growth of patients with benign central airway stenosis undergoing interventional therapy ( t values were -3.46-4.55, all P<0.05), could jointly explain 38.9% of the variation in post-traumatic growth scores. Conclusions:The post-traumatic growth of patients with benign airway stenosis undergoing interventional therapy is at a moderate level. The degree of stenosis and the number of interventional therapy are the limiting factors for post-traumatic growth. Systematic health education, social support and health literacy are conducive to more post-traumatic growth of patients. Medical staff can enhance patients' disease awareness, and provide more channels for acquiring disease knowledge through WeChat groups and WeChat official account, so as to promote patients' post-traumatic growth and reduce their painful experience during treatment.
