RESUMO
ObjectiveTo develop a rehabilitation program of nature posture treatment (NPT) suspension therapy based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth version (ICF-CY) framework, and apply it to neurodevelopmental disorders. MethodsThe ICF-CY theoretical group (group A) and NPT suspension therapy group (group B) were established. Group A searched literature from common databases, to extract high-frequency words related to suspension therapy and match with categories of ICF-CY, to develop ICF-CY theoretical framework of the NPT suspension therapy. Group B developed specific rehabilitation procedures and training items based on the framework to compose the training pool. A total of 110 children aged less than six years with neurodevelopmental disorders and associated motor impairments were selected from outpatient or inpatient of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University, between October, 2019 and October, 2022. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 55) and clinical group (n = 55), who received routine neurodevelopmental therapy and NPT suspension therapy program based on ICF-CY, respectively, for a week. The incidence of satisfaction, acceptance and adverse events were observed. ResultsTwo cases in the control group and four cases in the clinical group dropped down. For the clinical group, the incidence of satisfaction was 98% (50/51), with acceptance of 96% (49/51), and one adverse event occurred. For the control group, the incidence of both the satisfaction and acceptance was 100%, and no adverse event occurred. There was no significant difference in the incidence of satisfaction, acceptance and the adverse event (P > 0.05). ConclusionThe NPT suspension therapy program based on the ICF-CY framework is safe and acceptable for children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency in the treatment of overactive bladder(OAB).Methods:A prospective, multicenter, non-randomized controlled trial was conducted. Eligible patients were divided into test group and control group in Zhejiang Provincial People’Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, and Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2019 to June 2020. Inclusion criteria: patients diagnosed with OAB, and bladder capacity>100ml. Exclusion criteria: pregnant and lactating women; patients with secondary OAB symptoms such as urinary tract obstruction; patients with uncontrolled urinary tract infection within 1 week; patients in stable stage by using other treatment methods; patients implanted with any nerve stimulator, cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator; patients with malignant tumors, serious cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, renal insufficiency or received BTX treatment in recent 12 months. The patients were allocated to test group and the control group in a ratio of 2∶1 according to the time sequence of the visit. The patients in the test group were treated with radiofrequency treatment. After entering the group, they were treated for 4 times at the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th week respectively. In the control group, the energy was turned off during the radiofrequency treatment. The patients were followed-up every week until the end of the 12th week. The treatment success rate [the average frequency of urination in 24 h was reduced more than 50% from the baseline or returned to the normal (≤8 times/day) or the average frequency of urgent urination in 24 h was reduced more than 50% from the baseline], the frequency of urination, urgent urination and nocturnal urination before and after treatment, the residual urine volume of the bladder, the quality of life (QOL) score and the occurrence of catheter related adverse events in two groups were compared.Results:114 patients were enrolled in the study, including 76 patients in the test group and 38 patients in the control group. There were no significant differences in the age [(44.2±12.8) vs. (41.7 ± 12.1) years old], male female ratio (13/63 vs. 4/34), average course of disease [2.0(1.2, 5.0) vs. 2.0 (1.0, 4.0) years], the frequency of urination[12.8 (10.6, 16.8) vs. 12.8 (10.3, 17.0) times], urgency urination [11.8(9.3, 15.8) vs. 11.8 (9.0, 17.0) times], nocturia [2.7 (1.3, 3.7) vs. 2.3(0.7, 3.3) times], residual urine volume of bladder [12.0 (3.0, 28.0) vs. 14.0 (3.7, 20.0) ml ] and the QOL score [5.0(4.0, 5.0) vs. 4.0(4.0, 5.0)]before the treatment between the two groups ( P>0.05). The treatment success rate in the test group was 76.3% (58/76), while 26.3% (10/38) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). There were significant differences between the test group and control group in the frequency of urination [9.7 (7.7, 12.0) vs. 12.9 (9.6, 15.7) times], urgent urination [7.3 (5.0, 10.0) vs. 11.7 (7.3, 15.3) times], nocturia [1.3 (0.7, 2.0) vs. 1.7 (1.0, 3.0) times] and the QOL score of the patients[3.0(1.0, 3.0) vs. 4.0(3.0, 4.5)]after the treatment(all P<0.05). The frequency of urination, urgency urination, nocturia, the residual urine volume and the QOL score in the test group were significantly improved ( P<0.05) after the treatment.The frequency of urination, nocturia, residual urine volume and the QOL score in the control group were improved ( P<0.05) after the treatment. 13 (11.4%) patients had catheter related adverse events. In the test group and the control group, there were 7 cases of macroscopic hemorrhage caused by the placement of instruments (5/76 vs. 2/38), 5 cases of acute urinary tract infection within 3 days (3/76 vs. 2/38), and 1 case of instrument breakage (catheter breakage) (0/76 vs. 1/38). There were no significant differences in the adverse events between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:Radiofrequency treatment of OAB can effectively improve the symptoms of patients, improve the QOL of patients, and has low incidence of adverse events, with good efficacy and safety.
RESUMO
Objective:To understand all causes mortality and cancer mortality of residents in drinking-water-borne endemic arsenism areas 10 to 16 years after water-improvement, and to evaluate the effects of water-improvement on prevention and treatment of the long-term harm of arsenic poisoning.Methods:In April 2020, in drinking-water-borne endemic arsenism areas of Ying County and Shanyin County, Shanxi Province, the diseased villages where water-improvement was carried out in 2003 were selected, and the permanent residents of the survey sites were selected as arsenic-exposure group. The residents in non-diseased villages were selected as control group. All causes and cancer deaths from 2013 to 2019 of the two groups were investigated and analyzed.Results:In arsenic-exposure group, the range of arsenic concentration in drinking water before water-improvement was 0.060 to 0.345 mg/L, and that after water-improvement was 0.000 17 to 0.003 60 mg/L. During the 7 years, a total of 94 128 person years were investigated in arsenic-exposure group and 102 086 person years in control group. There were 828 deaths from all causes in arsenic-exposure group, with a crude mortality rate of all causes of 8.80‰ and a standardized mortality rate of 9.16‰. There were 637 deaths from all causes in control group, with a crude mortality rate of all causes of 6.24‰ and a standardized mortality rate of 6.91‰. The crude mortality rate of all causes in arsenic-exposure group was higher than that in control group (χ 2 = 43.20, P < 0.01). Totally 218 deaths from cancer were reported in arsenic-exposure group, with a cancer crude mortality rate of 231.60/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 231.67/100 000. Totally 164 deaths from cancer were reported in control group, with a cancer crude mortality rate of 160.65/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 175.97/100 000. The cancer crude mortality rate in arsenic-exposure group was higher than that in control group (χ 2 = 12.69, P < 0.01). The median age of cancer deaths in the two groups was 72.0 and 68.5 years, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). The cancer crude mortality rate among males in arsenic-exposure group was 317.16/100 000, which was higher than that of males in control group (198.91/100 000, χ 2 = 14.21, P < 0.01), but there was no difference between females in the two groups (134.10/100 000 vs 118.03/100 000, P > 0.05). The highest cancer crude mortality rate in arsenic-exposure group and control group was lung cancer, which were 115.80/100 000 and 69.55/100 000, respectively. The crude mortality rates of lung cancer, stomach cancer and bladder cancer in arsenic-exposure group were higher than those in control group (χ 2 = 11.43, 4.33, 5.05, P < 0.01 or < 0.05), while the crude mortality rates of other cancers were not significantly different between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:Simply taking water-improvement measure can't block the long-term health burdens of arsenic exposure, especially for carcinogenic effect. Health follow-up management and disease prevention measures in arsenic-exposed areas will be needed for decades after exposure cessation.
RESUMO
To explore the therapeutic effect of abiterone combined with dexamethasone by reporting a case of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who was treated with abiterone combined with prednisone and then changed to abiterone combined with dexamethasone. A 61-year-old man was admitted to Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in November 2017 due to elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) at 11 ng/ml. Prostate MRI showed that abnormal signal intensities in the periphery of the prostate which was considered as prostate cancer. Consideration of metastases in the right iliac crest; partial signal changes in the medial seminal vesicles of both sides which were considered involved. The prostate needle biopsy demonstrated that left prostate adenocarcinoma while Gleason score: 5+ 4=9, diagnosed as metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). In December 2017, the patient underwent robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Prostatic adenocarcinoma was confirmed by postoperative pathology, Gleason score: 5+ 4=9. The bilateral seminal vesicles and nerves were invaded. The level of PSA was monitored during the continuous postoperative treatment using bicalutamide and goserelin.The PSA was 0.32, 0.15, and 1.72 ng/ml in February, June and October of 2018. In October 2018, the testosterone was 40 ng/dl, considering the biochemical progress. In November 2018, the PSA was 2.51ng/ml, considering entering mCRPC. The treatment plan was switched to abiraterone, prednisone and goserelin, and PSA was monitored. In January, March, and June of 2019, the PSA was 0.1, 0.03, and 1.1 ng/ml. By March 2020, it had reached 8.9 ng/ml. The treatment plan was changed to abiraterone and dexamethasone. In April, July and September of 2020, PSA was 7.9, 3.98, and 2.58 ng/ml respectively. The treatment is still ongoing.Abiraterone combined with prednisone is still effective after asymptomatic PSA progression in mCRPC.

Objective:To master the changing trend of drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning in Shanxi Province and the implementation of prevention and control measures, to evaluate the progress of elimination target, and to provide objective basis for the implementation of refined management.Methods:In 2018, according to the mid-term evaluation plan of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Endemic Disease Control" and the requirements of the "Measures for Elimination Control and Evaluation of Key Endemic Diseases", in 157 disease affected villages or high arsenic villages of 16 counties (cities, districts) in the province, taking the administrative village as the unit, a census of all permanent residents was conducted to investigate the condition of current patients and find out the new cases of arsenic poisoning; the implementation of water improvement measures and the operation of water improvement project were investigated; one tap water sample was collected from each administrative village to detect the arsenic content in the water; and the elimination of arsenic poisoning was evaluated.Results:A total of 1 221 cases of drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning were investigated in the whole province, including 982 mild cases, 190 moderate cases and 49 severe cases, accounting for 80.43%, 15.56% and 4.01%, respectively; all the 1 221 cases were monitored and registered before 2011, no new cases were found. In the 157 investigated villages, the rate of water improvement was 94.90% (149/157), the average content of arsenic in water of village with water improvement was 0.022 3 mg/L, ranging from 0.000 5 to 0.193 9 mg/L; the qualified rate of water arsenic after water improvement was 83.89% (125/149), and the normal operation rate of water improvement project was 82.55% (123/149). Ten counties (cities, districts) had reached the elimination standard, and six counties (cities) had not reached the elimination standard.Conclusions:The prevention and control effect of control measures on drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic poisoning in Shanxi Province is remarkable, and there is no new case for many years. In the future, efforts should be made to improve water supply, carry out one village one policy refined management, ensure that all disease affected villages or high arsenic villages meet the national elimination standards, and achieve the goal of the special three-year program for prevention and control of endemic diseases.
RESUMO
Objective To understand the iodine nutritional status and thyroid function of different populations after 20 years of universal salt iodization in iodine deficiency area of Shanxi Province, and to provide data support for scientific iodine supplementation according to local conditions. Methods In 2014, six townships (Chengguan, Dadeng, Dengzhuang, Gucheng, Xiangling and Fencheng townships) in Xiangfen County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, were selected as the place of investigation. Four hundred school-age children aged 6 - 12 years (school-age children), 400 child-bearing women aged 18 - 44 (child-bearing women), 400 pregnant women, 400 lactating women and their 0 - 6 months breast-feeding infants (breast-feeding infants), and 400 children aged 7 -24 months were selected by two-stage sampling method. Water samples of school-age children's domestic drinking water and salt samples for domestic consumption were collected, and the water iodine and salt iodine were detected by arsenic and cerium catalytic spectrophotometry ( recommended by the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Reference Laboratory) and "General Test Method in Salt Industry-Determination of Iodine" (GB/T 13025.7-2012). Random urine samples of all subjects were collected, urine iodine was detected by "Method for Determination of Iodine in Urine by As3+-Ce4+ Catalytic Spectrophotometry" ( WS/T 107-2006 ) . Samples of filter paper dried blood spots (DBS) of school-age children, child-bearing women, pregnant women, lactating women and breast-feeding infants were collected, and serum total thyroxine (TT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were detected by time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. Results A total of 290 water samples were collected, and the median of water iodine was 9.37μg/L. A total of 406 salt samples were collected, the median of salt iodine was 25.0 mg/kg, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 98.52％ (400/406), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 92.61％ (376/406). Urine samples of 389 school-age children, 379 child-bearing women, 363 pregnant women, 365 lactating women, 366 breast-feeding infants, and 366 children aged 7 - 24 months were collected, and the medians of urine iodine were 200.7, 175.0, 186.0, 113.2, 285.8 and 204.8 μg/L, respectively. Among them, school-age children, breast-feeding infants, and children aged 7-24 months were over the appropriate level, while the rest populations were at the iodine appropriate levels. Blood samples of 402 school-age children, 397 child-bearing women, 398 pregnant women, 390 lactating women, and 386 breast-feeding infants were collected, and the medians of TT4 were 127.2, 110.2, 141.7, 95.8 and 139.0 nmol/L, respectively; the medians of TSH were 1.2, 0.9, 0.8, 0.9 and 0.9 mU/L, respectively, and they were all within the reference ranges. The abnormal rates of TT4 (8.46％, 33/390) and TSH (7.95％, 31/390) in lactating women were higher than those in school-age children, child-bearing women, pregnant women and breast-feeding infants [TT4 abnormal rates were 0.25％(1/402), 1.26％ (5/397), 0.50％ (2/398), 1.04％ (4/386), respectively; TSH abnormal rates were 1.24％ (5/402), 1.51％ (6/397), 1.51％ (6/398) and 0.78％ (3/386), respectively, P < 0.05]. The rate of thyroid dysfunction in lactating women (7.95％, 31/390) was higher than those in the rest populations [1.24％ (5/402), 1.51％ (6/397), 1.51％ (6/398), 0.78％ (3/386), P < 0.05]. Conclusions The iodine intake of different populations in the survey area is generally sufficient, and the current salt iodine content standard can meet the iodine nutrition needs of different populations. Lactating women have a high rate of thyroid dysfunction. It is suggested to stick to the strategy of universal salt iodization to prevent iodine deficiency hazards in iodine deficiency areas, and further strengthen the monitoring of iodine nutrition and thyroid function of pregnant women and lactating women.

Objective To master the iodine nutritional status of residents and to evaluate the effect of iodine nutrition improvement on residents health after the adjustment of salt iodine concentration. Methods According to the method of population proportion sampling, 30 county-level monitoring sites were selected in 2014, a primary school was selected from each county (city, district) by the method of simple random sampling and 50 students aged 8 - 10 (half males and half females) were selected in each school, B ultrasound was used to detect thyroid volume, arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006) was used to detect urinary iodine, direct titration was used to detect salt iodine; At the same time, 20 pregnant women were selected from each town and urinary iodine was determined. All results were compared with the results of 2011 to evaluate the effect of iodine nutrition improvement on resident's health after the adjustment of salt iodine concentration. Results A total of 1 437 edible salt samples were tested, the median of salt iodine concentration was 24.1 mg/kg. Based on the new standard (18 - 33 mg/kg), the coverage rate of iodized salt was 95.4%(1 371/1 437), the qualified rate of iodized salt was 80.3%(1 101/1 371), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 76.6% (1 101/1 437). A total of 1 496 urine samples of children and 630 urine samples of pregnant women were tested, the median of urinary iodine of children and pregnant women was 224.6 and 177.1 μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of 2011 (274.6, 279.6μg/L), the differences were statistically significant (H=70.10, 153.50, all P<0.05). The proportion of counties which iodine nutrition of children and pregnant women in suitable range was 36.7% (11/30) and 56.7% (17/30), which were higher than those of 2011 [6.5%(2/31), 25.8%(8/31)], the differences were statistically significant (χ2 = 7.88, 5.00, all P < 0.05). Totally 1 552 children were examined thyroid in Shanxi Province, the rate of goiter was 4.4% (69/1 552). Conclusion The new standard of iodine concentration makes it possible to maintain a sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders, and it can improve the iodine nutrition of children aged 8-10 years and pregnant women to more reasonable level.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the implementation of prevention and control measures for water quality improvement in drinking water type of fluorosis and arsenic poisoning areas,to investigate the operating condition of fluoride-safe water supply projects,and to comprehensively evaluate the project's quality and its effectiveness on water quality improvement.Methods According to the Shanxi Province Drinking Water-Borne Fluorosis and Arsenic Poisoning Fluoride-Safe Water Supply Projects Monitoring Programme,in October 2012-June 2013,45 counties in the province were selected to monitor fluorosis and arsenic poisoning.The running condition of fluoridesafe water supply projects was investigated.One factory water sample was collected to determine the water fluoride (arsenic) concentration.Meanwhile,3 tap water samples were collected to determine the water fluoride (arsenic)concentration in each village,using the Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB/T 5750.5-2006).Results Totally 1 804 fluoride-safe water supply projects had been surveyed,and 1 673 were in normal condition,accounting for 92.7％.The number of projects supplying fluoride-safe water was 1 328,accounting for 73.6％,benefiting a population of 2.636 779 million people.A total of 2 277 villages were investigated,and 1 826 villages had fluoride-safe water,accounting for 80.2％ of the investigated villagcs.One hundred and forty-five arsenic-safe water supply projects in drinking water type of arsenic poisoning areas were investigated,and 138 were in normal condition,accounting for 95.2％.One hundred and forty-three arsenic-safe water supply projects were qualified,accounting for 98.6％,benefiting a population of 295 240 people.One hundred and fifty-nine villages in drinking water-borne arsenic poisoning areas were investigated,and 156 villages were qualified in water arsenic,accounting for 98.1％ of the investigated villages.Conclusions The qualified rate of fluoride-safe water supply projects is relatively low in drinking water type of fluorosis areas.It has not yet reached the national standard and the management of fluoride-safe water supply projects should be strengthened.The effect of arsenic-safe water supply projects on prevention of drinking water type of arsenic poisoning is significant.
RESUMO
The distant metastases is the major cause of death in patients with breast cancer.Metastasis of tumor cells is defined to be a series process including tumor cells shedding from the primary lesion,intruding and circulating in blood vessels,implantation into distant organs and developing into metastasis lesion,only complete the series process can eventually form a distant metastasis.Micrometastasis reters to exist in lymph nodes,peripheral blood and bone marrow,yet conventional testing method usually does not reveal it,the presence of tumor cells in blood called circulating tumor cells,and the tumor cells in bone marrow called disseminated tumor cells.In order to predict and prevent tumor spreading and acquire therapeutic strategy,many attempts are being made to detect small numbers of tumor cells that have shed from the primary lesions.This article presents the techniques used for disseminated tumor cells detection,clinical relevance and biological questions for the recent a few years.
