RESUMO
Bacterial infection is the main cause of infectious diseases in children. Antibacterials play an important role in anti infection treatment of children. At present, the treatment of antimicrobial drugs in children is facing a severe situation of bacterial resistance. In January 2020, a children′s specialized hospital carried out the practice of precise management of antibiotics in combination with key performance indicators. Through the multi sectoral linkage of management and technology, eight key performance indicators and assessment methods were set up from three levels of antibiotic use, bacterial resistance and hospital infection, to standardize the clinical application of antibiotics and continue to promote the rational use of antibiotics. This practice had improved the performance indicators of antibacterial management. Among them, the use intensity of antibacterial drugs for inpatients decreased from 40.07 DDD in 2019 to 29.00 DDD in 2021, the use rate of antibacterial drugs for inpatients decreased from 81.32% to 64.40%, the percentage of antibacterial drug expenses in total drug expenses decreased from 35.41% to 26.82%, the use proportion of non restricted antibacterial drugs in antibacterial drugs increased from 71.30% to 82.21%, and the drug resistance rate of Salmonella to β-Lactam/enzyme inhibitors decreased from 4.84% to 0.03%, and the incidence of hospital infection decreased from 1.16% to 0.96%. The precise management of antibiotics in combination with key performance indicators improved the level of rational use of antibiotics, effectively curbed bacterial resistance, achieved phased results, so as to provide a reference for the scientific management of antibiotics in children′s hospitals.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic etiology of a child with early-onset severe obesity.@*METHODS@#A child who presented at the Department of Endocrinology, Hangzhou Children's Hospital on August 5, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child were reviewed. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the child and her parents. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on the child. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.@*RESULTS@#This child was a 2-year-and-9-month girl featuring severe obesity with hyperpigmentation on the neck and armpit skin. WES revealed that she has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the MC4R gene, namely c.831T>A (p.Cys277*) and c.184A>G (p.Asn62Asp). Sanger sequencing confirmed that they were respectively inherited from her father and mother. The c.831T>A (p.Cys277*) has been recorded by the ClinVar database. Its carrier frequency among normal East Asians was 0.000 4 according to the 1000 Genomes, ExAC, and gnomAD databases. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), it was rated as pathogenic. The c.184A>G (p.Asn62Asp) has not been recorded in the ClinVar, 1000 Genomes, ExAC and gnomAD databases. Prediction using IFT and PolyPhen-2 online software suggested it to be deleterious. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, it was determined as likely pathogenic.@*CONCLUSION@#The c.831T>A (p.Cys277*) and c.184A>G (p.Asn62Asp) compound heterozygous variants of the MC4R gene probably underlay the early-onset severe obesity in this child. Above finding has further expanded the spectrum of MC4R gene variants and provided a reference for the diagnosis and genetic counseling for this family.

Objective:To investigate the status of post-traumatic growth and its afffecting factors in middle-aged and young patients with type 2 diabetes, in order to carry out clinical intervention for reference.Methods:A general data questionnaire, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were used to survey 222 middle-aged and young patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized from December 2020 to March 2021 in Shandong First Medical University Affiliated Center Hospital, Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Liaocheng People′s Hospital.Results:The total score of Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was (45.20 ± 12.90), (42.73 ± 10.16),(51.41 ± 10.60) points in middle-aged and young patients with type 2 diabetes. Regression showed that treatment mode, medical payment mode, social support, and psychological resilience were the main influencing factors of post-traumatic growth levels in middle-aged and young patients with type 2 diabetes ( P<0.05), which could explain 42.3% of the variation. Conclusions:Middle-aged and young patients with type 2 diabetes have grown at low level. Medical staff should concentrate on the positive psychology of patients and improve their level of social support and resilience to promote the production of post-traumatic growth.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the optimal monochromatic level for evaluation of in-stent lumen after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) by dual-layer detector CT.Methods:Twenty-nine patients after TIPS were retrospectively enrolled who underwent abdomen enhanced examinations with portal venous phases by a dual-layer detector CT between December 2019 and July 2021. The mixed iterative image (conventional group) and monochromatic images (40 keV group, 50 keV group, 60 keV group and 70 keV group) were obtained by reconstruction. Circular regions of interest were placed in the in-stent of the cross-sectional reconstructed image and in the vertical spinal muscle on the same plane to obtain the corresponding average CT value and noise. The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) were calculated. Then 4-point scale was performed to evaluate image quality subjectively by 2 physicians blindly and separately. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis H rank-sum test was used for the overall analysis between groups, and LSD test or Dunn′s Bonforoni test was used for pairwise comparison within groups. Results:There was no significant difference in noise values among the 5 groups ( P>0.05). The difference of CNR and SNR between the 5 groups was statistically significant ( F=72.28, 56.45, P<0.001). The CNR and SNR in the 40 keV group were the highest, which were 50.4±15.7 and 59.3±18.4 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Subjective scores showed statistically significant differences among the 5 groups (χ2=101.61, P<0.001). The score of the 40 keV group was higher than that of the 60 keV group, 70 keV group, and conventional group ( P<0.001), and there was no significant difference when compared with the subjective score of the 50 keV group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The 40 keV monochromatic image of dual detector spectral CT is the best image to observe the lumen of the stent after TIPS.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and ADM microparticle on diabetic wound healing.Methods:ADSCs was co-cultured with ADM microparticle in vitro. The models of diabetic nude mice were established by intraperitoneal injection of STZ and the full-thickness skin defects were designed on the back. All 24 diabetic mice were randomly divided into 4 group: experimental groups were transplanted with ADSCs and ADM microparticle and the other groups were transplanted with ADSCs, ADM microparticle and blank control group was set up. On the 7th and 14 th days, the wound healing rate of 3 mice randomly selected from each group was calculated, and the thickness between dermis and epidermis was measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The density of neovascularization was measured by immunohistochemical staining. The differences were compared between the groups.Results:Compared to the ADSCs groups, the mice of the experimental groups showed higher cell survival rate. The wound healing rate in the experimental groups was (86.0±2.7)% (7 days) and (98.5±1.1)% (14 days), thicker dermis-epidermis distance was (99.1±1.8) μm (7 days) and (124.3±4.3) μm (14 days) ( P<0.05), and higher density of neovascularization was noted. Conclusions:The transplantation with active ADM microparticle can significantly promote neovascularization and wound healing of diabetic wound.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the changes of ocular surface microbiota in obese patients before and after dietary intervention.Methods:From November 1, 2020 to May 1, 2021, 35 obese patients in the obesity management center of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were selected for a 4-week low-calorie dietary intervention of 1 600-1 800 kcal/day. The body weight, body mass index(BMI), body composition(body fat, body fat percentage, visceral fat grade, total body water, and skeletal muscle) were observed before and after dietary intervention. The characteristics of ocular surface flora in obese patients before and after intervention were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing.Results:The body weight, BMI, body fat, percentage of body fat, visceral fat grade and total body water decreased significantly after 4 weeks( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in skeletal muscle( P>0.05). There was no significant difference of ocular surface flora α and β in diversity( P>0.05). Opportunistic pathogens Pseudomonas and Cutibacterium decreased significantly, while Faecalibacterium, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 group, Oscillospiraceae UCG 002, and Blautia, which producing short chain fatty acids, increased significantly( P<0.05). Functional prediction analysis showed that the metabolic pathways such as degradation related pathways and insulin signaling pathways of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) were significantly enriched. Conclusion:After dietary intervention, opportunistic pathogenic bacteria decreased and short chain fatty acid producing bacteria increased in obese patients. The altered ocular surface flora may be related to the degradation of VOCs and the improvement of insulin sensitivity.
RESUMO
Objective To determine the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of hand，foot，and mouth disease （HFMD） in Pujiang County from 2008 through 2020， so as to provide scientific evidence for prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was used to analyze HFMD cases retrieved in the Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in Pujiang County during 2008‒2020. Results From 2008 through 2020， a total of 9 393 cases were documented in Pujiang County， with an annual incidence of 182.3 per 100 000， showing a trend of alternating high-incidence and low-incidence years. The seasonal distribution was bimodal， and the incidence peaked in May-July and November-December. The incidence of HFMD in urban areas was significantly higher than that in rural areas， and the incidence was positively correlated with population density. Majority of cases （94.9%） were children under 5 years old， of which boys had higher incidence than girls. The number of documented cases was the highest among preschool children living in families and kindergartens， accounting for 97.3%. Totally， 558 cases were laboratory confirmed in Pujiang County in 2008-2020， of which severe cases were all caused by EV71 infection. Conclusion Enterovirus serotypes in HFMD have continually changed from 2008 through 2020 in Pujiang County. However， severe HFMD remains principally attributable to EV71 infection， suggesting that it is necessary to strengthen the surveillance on the etiology of HFMD. In addition， it warrants further promotion of EV71 vaccination.

RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the role of Tg in diagnosis of lateral cervical lymph node recurrence in papillary thyoid cancer(PTC)after radioactive iodine(RAI) therapy.Methods:From Jan 2012 to Aug 2018, 22 PTC patients who received RAI therapy after operation were reoperated for lateral cervical lymph node recurrence. The clinical data was retrospectively analyzed.Results:The median recurrence time was 30.5 (5-86) months. All 22 patients received RAI therapy after the first operation, and the median dose of RAI was 250mCi(100-700 mCi) and the episode of RAI therapy ranged from 1 to 4. All 22 PTC patients underwent neck reoperation, among which 20 cases were identified to have lymph node metastasis. The median number of lymph nodes dissected was 31 (8-83) and median number of metastatic lymph nodes was 4 (1-19) . The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in detecting lymph node metastasis was 90.9%. Before reoperation, the median Tg was 1.305 (0.10-99.51) μg/L, with the cutoff value of Tg being 0.2 μg/L, and its sensitivity and specificity were 80.0% and 100%, respectively. The median stimulated Tg was 5.89 (0.14-255.80) μg/L in the 10 patients, with the cutoff value of stimulated Tg of 2 μg/L, and its sensitivity and specificity were 88.9% and 100%, respectively.Conclusions:The serum Tg level is helpful for monitoring the recurence of PTC, but recurrence cannot be completely ruled out for those with low Tg.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the difference of clinicopathological characteristics between mixed medullary and papillary carcinoma of thyroid and medullary carcinoma coexistent with papillary carcinoma.Method:The clinicopathological data of 3 MMPTC cases and 9 MTC-PTC cases treated at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital during the past ten years were retrospectively analyzed. The differences in clinical characteristics, pathological characteristics, immunohistochemistry results, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:In the MMPTC group, the median onset-age was 59 years old. 3 patients were all medullary carcinoma colliding with micropapillary carcinoma. The immunohistochemistry results showed that medullary carcinoma and papillary carcinoma showed their distinctive immunohistochemical characteristics. The lymph node metastasis rate was 66.7% (2/3). In MTC-PTC group, the median onset-age was 55; 8 out of 9 patients had an increased preoperative calcitonin level. Medullary carcinoma and papillary carcinoma showed their distinctive immunohistochemical characteristics. Four out of the 9 cases had lymph node metastasis.Conclusion:Compared with MTC-PTC, MMPTC is more common in middle-aged and elder patients, with higher lymph node metastasis rate. The pathogenesis of MTC-PTC is similar to papillary thyroid carcinoma, and the treatment should be individualized. The prognosis of these two groups of patients is fair.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the changes of corneal neuropathy and ocular surface flora in patients with type 2 diabetes, and the correlation between corneal neuropathy and ocular surface flora changes.Methods:According to the results of fundus fluorescein angiography, 65 patients with type 2 diabetes (130 eyes in total) who were treated with insulin alone and without comorbid retinopathy in the Department of Endocrinology, Henan People′s Hospital from March to June 2019 were selected. Sixty-five age-matched normal glucose tolerance subjects (130 eyes in total) were also enrolled. Confocal microscopy was performed and conjunctival sac secretions were collected. Through 16S rRNA analysis and sequencing and PICRUSt bacterial gene function prediction, the relationship between patients with type 2 diabetes and the difference in the degree of corneal neuropathy and the composition of ocular surface flora and function prediction in healthy people were explored, and the correlation between corneal neuropathy and ocular surface flora was analyzed as well.Results:Compared with healthy people, patients with type 2 diabetes have more severe corneal neuropathy, and it was related to the changes in ocular surface flora. Brevibacillus and paenibacillus were significantly positively correlated with the degree of corneal neuropathy ( P<0.05), and enhydrobacter and proteobacteria were significantly negatively correlated with the degree of corneal neuropathy ( P<0.05). PICRUSt analysis showed that the degree of enrichment of metabolism-related genes in the ocular surface flora of patients with type 2 diabetes was significantly changed compared with healthy people. Conclusion:Patients with type 2 diabetes present with more severe corneal neuropathy. The diversity of ocular surface flora and metabolic function have significant changes. The degree of severity corneal neuropathy is related to brevibacillus, paenibacillus, enhydrobacter, and proteobacteria.
RESUMO
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been undergoing various mutations. The analysis of the structural and energetic effects of mutations on protein-protein interactions between the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or neutralizing monoclonal antibodies will be beneficial for epidemic surveillance, diagnosis, and optimization of neutralizing agents. According to the molecular dynamics simulation, a key mutation N439K in the SARS-CoV-2 RBD region created a new salt bridge which resulted in greater electrostatic complementarity. Furthermore, the N439K-mutated RBD bound hACE2 with a higher affinity than wild-type, which may lead to more infectious. In addition, the N439K-mutated RBD was markedly resistant to the SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody REGN10987, which may lead to the failure of neutralization. These findings would offer guidance on the development of neutralizing antibodies and the prevention of COVID-19.
RESUMO
Dysfunctional immune response in the COVID-19 patients is a recurrent theme impacting symptoms and mortality, yet the detailed understanding of pertinent immune cells is not complete. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to 284 samples from 205 COVID-19 patients and controls to create a comprehensive immune landscape. Lymphopenia and active T and B cell responses were found to coexist and associated with age, sex and their interactions with COVID-19. Diverse epithelial and immune cell types were observed to be virus-positive and showed dramatic transcriptomic changes. Elevation of ANXA1 and S100A9 in virus-positive squamous epithelial cells may enable the initiation of neutrophil and macrophage responses via the ANXA1-FPR1 and S100A8/9-TLR4 axes. Systemic upregulation of S100A8/A9, mainly by megakaryocytes and monocytes in the peripheral blood, may contribute to the cytokine storms frequently observed in severe patients. Our data provide a rich resource for understanding the pathogenesis and designing effective therapeutic strategies for COVID-19.

RESUMO
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes have a certain genetic background. It is of great significance to study the essence of syndromes, and through genetic polymorphism research, the objectification of TCM syndromes can be realized. There are multiple relationships between genetic polymorphisms and TCM syndromes:including the relationship between internal factors and external manifestations, the relationship between macrocosmic view and microcosmic view, and the relationship between objectivity and subjectivity. This article reviews the current research progress on the correlation between genetic polymorphism and TCM syndromes in order to provide some ideas for the objectification of syndromes.
RESUMO
Presently the four high characteristics and rejuvenation trends of cerebrovascular diseases are still the main problems that endanger the health of our people. Accordingly, Professor Gao Li has been committed to the discussion of risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases and the practice of using integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine for diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. In order to enable the majority of western medicine doctors to understand and accept his idea, Professor Gao Li combines traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes with modern etiology and pathology, classification of stages and types of cerebral infarction by Chinese and western medicine, the acute cerebral infarction patients are simplified innovatively into four TCM syndromes and appropriate treatments are given to them, so that the majority of traditional Chinese and western medicine doctors can comprehensively recognize the condition of this disease from macroscopic to microscopic points of view. By his above combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine reasoning, the patients obtained better curative effect. After multiple years of summary and accumulation of his experiences, Professor Gao Li has developed the distinct clinical and academic characteristics for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral infarction.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Many studies have shown that cell-assisted lipotransfer promotes the survival of fat implants, but there are few studies exploring stromal vascular fraction (SVF) -assisted fat transplantation for improving facial skin quality. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of autologous adipose-derived SVF-assisted autologous fat transplantation in the improvement of facial skin quality. METHODS: From September 2016 to June 2018, in the Plastic and Cosmetic Center, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, 20 patients were recruited and then randomly divided into experimental group and control group, namely SVF-assisted fat transplantation and simple fat transplantation, respectively. A VISIA skin detector was used to detect facial skin quality of patients preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively, including spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, ultraviolet spots, brown spots, couperose skin and porphyrin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The effect of improvement in wrinkles and texture in the experimental group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In terms of spots, pores and couperose skin, the therapeutic effect in the experimental group was better than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the improvement of ultraviolet spot and brown spots. The porphyrin was not affected by the subjects. To conclude, SVF can promote the effect of fat transplantation in the improvement of facial skin quality.

RESUMO
In this study, the pharmacokinetic properties and stability of isoliquiritigenin (ILQ) in microsomes were evaluated. The data showed ILQ administrated by i.h had high absorption degree (absolute bioavailability> 90%), and strong elimination ability (average t1/2≈ 67â¯min). ILQ in rat tissues could reach peak at 0.25â¯h, and be detected in almost all tissues. In vitro, stability of ILQ in four species liver microsomes were rat >â¯beagle dog >â¯monkey >â¯human >â¯mouse. On the basis of pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles, mechanism of ILQ against S180 was explored. ILQ could not inhibit S180 growth directly in vitro. However, ILQ extremely prohibited S180 tumor volume in vivo. And when TNF-α in NK cells was knocked down by siRNA, ILQ had no inhibiting effect on S180 tumor. ILQ enhanced TNF-α expression in NK cells by FCM detection. Autophagy-associated proteins LC3-II, Beclin-1, ATG-7 were elevated in S180 cells co-cultured with ILQ treating NK cells. When TNF-α was knocked down by siRNA, ILQ could not induce autophagy in S180 tumors. In the NK cells of osteosarcoma patients, TNF-α was negatively correlated with GSK-3ß by ELISA detection. ILQ could inhibit GSK-3ß expression and further increased p65 and c-Rel expression in NK cells. When GSK-3ß was knocked down by siRNA, ILQ did not affect p65 and c-Rel expression. ILQ directly inhibited GSK-3ß and then activated the NF-κB pathway to enhance TNF-α expression in NK cells, which could induce autophagy in sarcomas. The present study supplied a new mechanism for ILQ against tumors.
