ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the differences in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes between patients with type A and type B alcohol dependence, and to find the independent risk factors of relapse.Methods:Alcohol-dependent male patients attending the Addiction Medicine Center of Beijing Huilongguan Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected for the study and divided into type A alcohol-dependent group ( n=77) and type B alcohol-dependent group ( n=87). All patients were given acute detoxification treatment and were followed up after treatment on relapse to drinking. Differences in demographic and clinical data were compared between the two groups, and differences in treatment outcomes between the two groups at different time points over 3 months were compared. Patients were divided into relapse group and non-relapse group according to whether they drank again after 3 months. Logistic regression model was established to screen the risk factors of relapse of alcohol-dependent patients by SPSS 25.0 software. Results:There was no significant difference between the two types of patients in years of education, marital status, smoking status and working status(all P>0.05), but the proportion of co-residents( χ2=5.69, P=0.017) and the proportion of positive family history of alcoholism were significant difference between the two type of patients( χ2=13.32, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences between the two types of patients in the onset time( t=-7.28, P<0.001), the first drinking age( t=-2.36, P=0.020), the proportion of drinking in the morning( χ2=7.83, P=0.005), psychotic symptoms( χ2=4.31, P=0.038), convulsions after withdrawal( χ2=5.30, P=0.021), and alcohol use disorder identification test(AUDIT) score( t=4.30, P<0.001). At the 4th and 8th weekend of the follow-up, there were statistically significant differences in drinking frequency(0(0, 3), 0(0, 0), Z=-4.13, P<0.001; 3(0, 3), 0(0, 3), Z=-4.42, P<0.001) and relapse rate (40(45.98%), 9(11.69%), χ2=22.92, P<0.001; 61(70.11%), 24(31.17%), χ2=24.82, P<0.001) between the two types of alcohol dependence patients after drinking again. After 12-week follow-up, there were statistically significant differences between the two types of alcohol-dependent patients in the interval of first drinking(20(7, 30)d, 88(38, 90)d, Z=-7.83, P<0.001), the cumulative duration of abstinence(4(0, 8)weeks, 12(4, 12)weeks, Z=-5.13, P<0.001), the cumulative rate of abstinence(71(81.60%), 25(32.47%), χ2=40.62, P<0.001), the frequency of drinking after abstinence(3(3, 3), 0(0, 3), Z=-5.54, P<0.001), and the reduction of daily average alcohol consumption( t=3.36, P<0.001). Logistic regression model showed that type B alcohol dependence ( OR=3.121, P=0.03, 95% CI: 1.12-8.72) and AUDIT score ( OR=1.498, P<0.01, 95% CI: 1.29-1.74) were the risk factors for relapse of alcohol-dependent patients. Conclusions:Patients with type A and type B alcohol dependence have obvious differences in clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes, and type B alcohol dependence is independent risk factor for relapse to drinking in alcohol-dependent patients, which validate the rationality and necessity of alcohol dependence subtypes.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the expression of microRNA-106a(miR-106a) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients.@*METHODS@#Serum samples of 64 patients with newly diagnosed RCC were collected as the study group, and serum samples of 40 healthy individuals were used as the control group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to determine the expression level of miR-106a in each group. The correlation between miR-106a expression and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients was studied with single factor analysis and multiple Logistic regression model. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze its correlation with the prognosis of patients.@*RESULTS@#Before surgery, compared with the control group (1.17± 0.58), RCC patients with high- (9.15± 0.96) and low-expression(3.45± 0.37) had increased expression of miR-106a. Postoperatively, the expression level of miR-106a in both groups of patients decreased to 1.53± 0.18 and 1.75± 0.21, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of the diagnostic value of serum miR-106a for RCC was 0.782 (95% CI: 0.661-0.902). With an optimal cutoff value of 0.531, the sensitivity was 78.10% and the specificity was 75.00%. Serum miR-106a level of RCC patients with TNM stage T3 or T4, clinical stage II or III, lymph node metastasis, and recurrence were significantly increased. The high expression of serum miR-106a in RCC patients has an independent relationship with the tumor TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. Of the 64 follow-up patients, 4 were lost and 30 had died. Among them, the median survival time of patients in the miR-106a high expression group was 30 months, which was significantly shorter than that of the low expression group (52 months).@*CONCLUSION@#The serum level of miR-106a is elevated in RCC patients, and may be used as a molecular marker for the diagnosis of RCC. High serum expression of miR-106a is an independent predictor for tumor TNM stage and lymph node metastasis, as well as an independent predictor for poor prognosis of RCC patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of anti-γ-aminobutyric acid type B receptor (GABA B R) encephalitis. Methods:Retrospective analysis of five patients of anti-GABA BR encephalitis from the Department of Neurology, the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from September 2017 to June 2019 was carried out. Clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, and treatment were analyzed. The patients were followed up for 3.5-23.0 months to assess their prognosis. Results:Five cases of anti-GABA BR encephalitis (19-81 years old) presented acute onset, with refractory epilepsy as the main clinical manifestation. There were hyperintensive signals on T 2/fluid attenuated inversion recovery in four patients′ temporal lobe and hippocampus. Electroencephalogram showed slow wave or epileptic discharge; Lung mass was found in four patients, and all were small cell lung cancer. Five cases had poor response to first-line immunotherapy (intravenous use of pulse methylprednisolone, high dose immunoglobulin or plasma exchange), then three patients received second-line immunotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide), two of whom with tumor also received tumor chemotherapy. Patients who received second-line treatment and tumor chemotherapy showed better outcome than those who only received first-line treatment. Conclusions:Anti-GABA BR encephalitis present with limbic encephalitis syndromes characterized by refractory epilepsy. For patients with poor response to first-line immunotherapy, initiating second-line immunotherapy as soon as possible can improve the prognosis significantly.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the diagnostic value of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)combined with ho-meostasis model assessment of insulin resistance( HOMA-IR)in obese children with prediabetes. Methods Five hundred and ninety-five obese children diagnosed at Outpatient Department of Pediatrics,Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were enrolled in the study from October 2012 to March 2016. Oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)and HbA1c test were performed after fasting 8 to 10 hours for all the subjects. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)criteria,the obese children were divided into non-prediabetes group(483 cases)and prediabetes group(112 cases). The levels of HOMA-IR and HbA1c were compared between 2 groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve was drawn for screening prediabetes,and the diagnosis value of area under curve( AUC)and different cutoff value were calculated. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the combined diagnosis of prediabetic AUC with preserved probability as a single variable and ROC curve. Z test was used to compare the statistical differences of each AUC. Results The levels of HbA1c and HOMA-IR of the prediabetes obese children group[(5. 65 ± 0. 36)%and 11. 60 ± 8. 86]were all higher than those of the non-prediabetes obese children group[(5. 47 ± 0. 32)% and 6. 49 ± 4. 61],and there were significant differences between 2 groups(all P<0. 01). The AUC of HbA1c ROC for prediabetes was 0. 633. When the cutoff was 5. 585%,the sensitivity and specificity were 0. 584 and 0. 601,respective-ly. The AUC of HOMA-IR ROC for prediabetes was 0. 758. When the cutoff was 7. 244,the sensitivity and specificity were 0. 779 and 0. 669,respectively. When combined with HOMA-IR and HbA1c,the AUC was 0. 764. Compared with HbA1c,there were significant differences in AUC of ROC curve between HOMA-IR alone or HOMA-IR com-bined with HbA1c in the diagnosis of prediabetes mellitus(all P<0. 01). There was no significant difference in AUC of ROC curve between HOMA-IR alone and HOMA-IR combined with HbA1c in the diagnosis of prediabetes melli-tus(P>0. 05). Conclusions Only HOMA-IR or HOMA-IR combined with HbA1c may be the optimal indexes for diagnosing obese children with prediabetes.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficacy of partial stapled transanal rectal resection (part-STARR) combined with Bresler procedure in the treatment of obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) associated with rectocele and internal rectal intussusception(IRI), and compare with STARR.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A randomized controlled study from January 2013 to December 2014 was undertaken. Sixty female patients with ODS caused by rectocele and IRI were prospectively enrolled and randomly divided into trial group (29 cases) receiving part-STARR combined with Bresler procedure, and control group (31 cases) undergoing STARR only. For patients in trial group, two thirds of posterior rectal wall were stapled with STARR methods and one third of anterior with Bresler procedure, while for those in control group, only STARR was performed. Intra-operational status, postoperative complications, Wexner constipation score and patient satisfaction 3 months and 6 months after operation, and rectocele defecography 6 months after operation were compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The average operation time of trial group was longer than that of control group [(31.2±5.4) minutes vs. (28.7±4.0) minutes, t=2.127, P=0.038]. There were no significant differences in intra-operative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and complications(pain, postoperative bleeding, rectovaginal fistula, feeling of tenesmus and swelling) between the two methods(all P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the Wexner score of constipation between the two groups before operation and 3 months after operation (6.72±1.19 vs. 7.32±1.25, t=-1.896, P=0.063), while the Wexner score of trial group was significantly lower 6 months after operation (6.90±1.42 vs. 7.74±1.26, t=-2.463, P=0.018). Patient satisfaction between two groups was not significantly different 3 months after operation(χ(2)=5.743, P=0.125), while trial group had better satisfaction 6 months after operation[93.1%(27/29) vs. 67.7%(21/31), χ(2)=8.247, P=0.041]. There was no difference in depth of rectocele on defecography between the two groups before operation, while rectocele was significantly improved 6 months after operation [(0.7±0.2) cm vs. (0.9±0.2) cm, t=2.527, P=0.014].</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Partial STARR combined with Bresler procedure in the treatment of ODS associated with rectocele and IRI has better efficacy than STARR only.</p>

Objective To investigate the characteristics of plasma glucose, insulin secretion and changes of insulin resistance (IR) after a glucose load in obese children, and to predict islet β-cell function. Methods A total of 635 obese children were classified into normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group (n=483), impaired glucose regulation (IGR) group (n=112) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n=40) based on their glucose levels. Subjects were also divided into G1 group (23 kg/m2≤BMI<30 kg/m2, n=393) and G2 group (BMI≥30 kg/m2, n=242) based on their different BMI levels. Level of fast plasma glucose (FPG, 0.5 h-PG, 1 h-PG, 2 h-PG and 3 h-PG) and insulin (FINS, 0.5 h-INS, 1 h-INS, 2 h-INS and 3 h-INS) were measured 0 h, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h and 3 h after a glucose load. Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), whole body insulin sensitivity index (WBISI), function of pancreatic beta-cell (HOMA-β), first-phase insulin secretion index (ΔI30/ΔG30) and area under curve of insulin (AUCI) were calculated and compared between groups. Results The value of insulin at each time point was significantly higher in IGR group than that of NGT group. The values of insulin at 0.5 h, 1 h, and 2 h were significantly lower in DM group than those of IGR group, respectively (all P<0.05). Compared with NGT group, AUCI, HOMA-IR and HOMA-β increased, but WBISI and ΔI30/ΔG30 decreased in IGR group (all P<0.05). HOMA-IR increased but WBISI, HOMA-βandΔI30/ΔG30 decreased in DM group (all P<0.05). Compared with IGR group, AUCI, HOMA-βandΔI30/ΔG30 decreased in DM group (all P<0.05). Values of FINS, AUCI, HOMA-IR, 2h-PG and HOMA-βwere significantly higher in G2 group than those of G1 group, but WBISI decreased (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in FPG and ΔI30/ΔG30 between these two groups. Conclusion From NGT, IGR to DM, the peak of insulin secretion is postponed, insulin resistance is getting heavier and the compensation of insulin secretion after a glucose load is increased first and then decreased.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association of eosinophils with glucose and lipid metabolism disorder in obese children. Methods A total of 180 subjects,102 boys and 78 girls,aged 7 to 14 years were enrolled in General Hospital,Tianjin Medical University. The subjects were divided into 3 quartiles according to eosinophil percentage. E1 (0 to<37% of eosinophils),E2(37% to<73% of eosinophils),and E3(73% to 100% of eosinophils). Forty-six chil-dren were selected as control group with matched age and sex (26 boys and 20 girls). The body weight,height,waist circumference,blood pressure,blood routine examination,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin (FINS),and blood lipid in 4 groups were measured. The values of glucose and lipid metabolism and the indexes of physical examina-tion were compared among each group. Results The values of eosinophil percentage,body mass index (BMI),trig-ly-ceride,total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, FINS, FPG,homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) and waist circumference in E1,E2,E3 group were significantly higher than those in control group,and the value of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly lower than that in control group,and there were significant differences (all P<0. 05). The blood pressure was significantly higher in E1 groups than that in other 3 groups (all P<0. 05). The values of BMI and HOMA-IR in E1 group were higher than those of E3 group(all P<0. 05). Eosinophil percentage was positively correlated with FINS (r=0. 190,P=0. 01),and negatively correlated with BMI and HOMA-IR(r=-0. 259,-0. 190 respectively,all P<0. 05). Conclusions Obese children have emerged glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. Peripheral eosinophil percentage may be an early marker of insulin resistance.

Objective:To explore the causes of the maintenance of smoking behaviors in male patient with chronic schizophrenia.Methods:Totally 188 male,smoking patients with chronic schizophrenia,meeting with the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition (DSM-IV),above 5-year course of disease,taken a steady dosage of antipsychotics for 3 months,and 61 healthy smoking men were collected according to the voluntary principles.The psychopathologic symptoms and the dependence of cigarette of all patients were as- sessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)and the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND),the Russell's Smoking Motivation Questionnaire (SMQ)was used to investigate the causes for maintai-ning behaviors of smoking in patients and healthy controls respectively.Results:The sedative item scores of SMQ were lower in patient group than in the controls [3 (0,9)vs.6 (0,9),P <0.001],and other scores of subscales had no significant difference compared with control.Heavy dependence happened in patient group slightly less than health controls (2.7%vs.8.2%,P <0.05).The total scores of FTND were positively correlated with the doses of antipsychotics (chlorpromazine equivalent)(r =0.22,P <0.01).The scores of total (β=0.22),automatic (β=0.27)and sedative (β=0.37)items in patient group were less than controls (Ps <0.001)by multi-factors step-wise Linear regression analysis.Conclusion:Compared with general smokers,lower need for sedation,less heavy dependence and motivation in smoking patients might be correlated with the strict management for inpatients smok-ing,social-psychological factors and culture background in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study clinical value and significance of thyroid receptor stimulating antibody (TSAb) and thyroid stimulating-blocking antibody (TSBAb) on diagnosis and treatment for children with Graves’disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Methods Eighty-eight children with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and treatment time less six months were divided into GD group (n=55) and HT group (n=33). Thirty-eight healthy children were used as control (Normal group). Human serum TSAb ELISA kit and human TSBAb ELISA kit were used to detect the serum TSAb and serum TSBAb in three groups. The serum levels of TSAb and TSBAb were compared between three groups. The correla? tion between TSAb and TSBAb, TSAb/TSBAb and free triiodothyronine three (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), ultra sensitive thy?roid stimulating hormone (TSH) were analyzed. Results The serum level of TSAb was significantly higher in GD group than that of HT group and Normal group (P0.05). There were no significant correlation between serum TSAb, TSBAb and FT3, FT4, TSH (P>0.05). Conclusion TSAb and TSBAb are related to the pathogenesis of GD and HT in children. TSAb and TSBAb have an important clinical value in the diagnosis and treatment for children with GD and HT.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the level of serum epithelial fatty acid binding protein (E-FABP) and cardiovascular disease in obese children. Methods Thirty children with metabolic syndrome (MS), 32 obesity children with no MS and 50 healthy children were recruited. Serum E-FABP and glucose/lipid metabolic indices were measured. Results Com-pared with the healthy children, levels of serum E-FABP in MS children were signiifcantly elevated (P=0.001). Compared with obesity children, levels of serum E-FABP of MS children were elevated, but the difference was not signiifcant (P>0.05). The cor-relations of E-FABP with waist to hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, atherogenic index, fasting insulin, insulin resistance index were positive (P<0.05). According to the multivariate stepwise regression analysis, E-FABP was the independent risk of atherogenic index (P=0.018). Conclusions E-FABP plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis in obesity and MS.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pediatric renal transplantation using donation after cardiac death (DCD).Methods The male DCD meeting Chinese standard Ⅲ (C-Ⅲ) was 49 years old,and the recipient with chronic renal failure was 14 years old.The right kidney of the donor was transplanted to the recipient.The renal artery and renal vein of the donor were end-to-side anastomoscd to the common iliac artery and common iliac vein of the recipient,respectively.The graft was transplanted into the fight iliac fosse.Warm ischemia time was 12 min,and cold ischemia time was 2 h.Immunity induction therapy was performed with basiliximab.Tacrolimus + mycophnolate mofetil + Pred were used as immunosuppressive regimen.Results The transplantation was done successfully.One day after operation,ALT was increased dramatically.The recipient was diagnosed as acute drug-induced liver injury.There was no occurrence of acute rejection and delayed graft function.The recipient was discharged one month after the operation,and followed up for 6 months with normal graft function.Conclusion Pediatric renal transplantation using DCD is effective and safe,even though the long-term effect still needs to be further observed.
ABSTRACT
The validity of the recently recommended HbA1C criterion by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in identification of dysglycemia in children with obesity was evaluated. 293 obese children underwent oral glucose tolerance test. Receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve analysis was used to examine the sensitivity and specificity of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1C in identifying dysglycemia. The results showed that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was 3.8％ and prediabetes 16. 0％ based on plasma glucose standard. 4. 1％ and 25.6％ were categorized as T2DM and “at high risk of diabetes mellitus” based on both HbA1C and plasma glucose criteria. HbA1C was more efficacious than FPG in detecting abnormal glucose tolerance as shown by the areas under the curve in ROC of 0. 875 and 0. 713 respectively (P＜0. 01 ). The sensitivity and specificity were 60. 5％ and 86. 8％ at HbA1C ≥5.7％, and 30. 5％ and 94.0％ at FPG ≥ 5.6 mmol/L.
