Evolutionary Law of Syndrome and Syndrome Elements during the Malignant Transformation of Chronic Hepatitis B / 中医杂志

ObjectiveTo clarify the evolutionary laws of syndromes and syndrome elements at different stages during the malignant transformation of chronic hepatitis B （CHB）. MethodsA total of 671 patients with hepatitis B virus infection， who were admitted to the outpatient and inpatient departments of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from July 1st， 2020 to June 30th， 2021， were included， involving 120 cases of CHB， 340 cases of hepatitis B liver cirrhosis （HBLC）， 64 cases of precancerous lesions with hepatitis B liver cirrhosis （PLHC）， and 147 cases of hepatitis B liver cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. A Survey form of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome during malignant transformation of chronic hepatitis B was designed， and the general information， auxiliary examination and the four examinations results were collected. Factor analysis and K-means clustering were used to determine and statistically analyze the syndrome and syndrome elements. ResultsFive traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome types were identified in CHB patients， while there were six TCM syndrome types in HBLC， PLHC and HCC stages. Among CHB patients， the main syndromes were liver constraint and spleen deficiency （53.33%） and liver-gallbladder damp-heat （21.67%）， and the dominant syndrome elements were qi stagnation （27.60%）， heat （17.71%） and qi deficiency （17.71%）. In the HBLC stage， the syndromes were mainly blood stasis obstructing the collaterals （23.83%） and liver constraint and spleen deficiency （22.35%）， with dominant syndrome elements being blood stasis （19.25%）， dampness （17.46%）， and qi deficiency （15.01%）. For the PLHC stage， the primary syndrome types were blood stasis obstructing the collaterals （29.68%） and liver-kidney yin deficiency （20.31%）， and the leading syndrome elements were blood stasis （22.12%）， yin deficiency （15.93%）， and qi deficiency （15.04%）. In the HCC stage， the syndrome was dominated by blood stasis obstructing the collaterals （33.34%） and liver-kidney yin deficiency （19.73%）， with the main syndrome elements being blood stasis （24.52%）， yin deficiency （16.09%）， and qi deficiency （15.33%）. During the progression of CHB to malignancy， there was a gradual decrease in excess syndromes including liver-gallbladder damp-heat and water-dampness internal obstruction from 21.67% to 19.04%. In contrast， deficiency syndromes including liver-kidney yin deficiency and spleen-kidney yang deficiency increased from 15.83% to 31.97%. Additionally， excess syndrome elements including qi stagnation， heat and dampness decreased from 59.89% to 34.48%， while deficiency syndrome elements including qi deficiency， yin deficiency and yang deficiency increased from 32.30% to 41.00%. ConclusionDuring the malignant transformation of CHB， there exists a progression of syndrome and syndrome elements， shifting from qi stagnation， heat and qi deficiency to blood stasis （predominantly excess）， dampness and qi deficiency， and then to blood stasis （predominantly deficiency）， yin deficiency and qi deficiency， characterized by “deficiency-excess complex， and shift from excess to deficiency”.

Efficacy comparison of plate fixation and joint replacement after failure of proximal femoral nail antirotation internal fixation of senile intertrochanteric fracture / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of locking proximal femur plates (LPFP) revision and artificial hip joint revision after failure of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:A retrospective case control study was conducted on the clinical data of 43 patients with PFNA internal fixation failure in the elderly admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital between March 2014 and October 2018. There were 23 males and 20 females, aged 65-83 years [(71.2±2.0)years]. The course of disease was 60-267 days [(83.1±3.6)days]. According to Evans classification, there were 11 patients with type II fractures, 13 with type III and 19 with type IV. There were 23 patients in artificial hip joint revision group and 20 patients in LPFP revision group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization time, total hospitalization time, Harris score and complications were recorded and evaluated in two groups.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-28 months, with an average of 13.6 months. Between artificial joint revision group and LPFP revision group, the operation time and intraoperative blood loss were similar ( P>0.05), but there were significant difference in postoperative hospitalization time [(7.1±3.2)days vs. (13.2±2.9)days] and total hospitalization time [(10.2±2.8)days vs. (16.4±3.4)days] ( P<0.05). In artificial joint revision group, the Harris hip score was (21.1±3.7)points preoperatively, and was respective (70.7±4.8)points, (74.6±4.1)points, (78.6±3.3)points, (82.9±5.2)points, (83.8±5.8)points and (84.9±6.4)points at postoperative 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 months. In LPFP revision group, the Harris score was (21.7±3.2)points preoperatively, and was respective (59.9±2.1)points, (64.79±3.4)points, (70.1±4.2)points, (73.9±4.2)points, (76.2±6.3)points and (77.9±6.8)points at postoperative 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 months. The Harris score in artificial joint revision group was gradually improved compared with LPFP revision group ( P<0.05). One patient with superficial wound infection occurred in each group, and the wound healed after frequent dressing changes. Distal femoral fractures occurred in one patient of artificial joint revision group and distal femoral fractures in three patients of LPFP revision group, but all patients were healed after being fixed with wire. Conclusion:For elderly patients with PFNA internal fixation failure of intertrochanteric fracture, artificial hip revision has shorter hospital stay and better hip joint function recovery than LPFP internal fixation, although the effect in operation time and intraoperative blood loss are similar.

ObjectiveTo investigate the features and changing trend of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in the elderly from 2009 to 2019, and to provide a reference for clinical prevention and treatment of DILI in the elderly. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 2107 elderly patients, aged ≥60 years, who were diagnosed with DILI in The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2009 to December 2019, and they were divided into groups according to age. Related clinical data were analyzed, including age, sex, clinical features, prognosis, and regional distribution. The Chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsAmong the 2107 patients with DILI, there were 802 male patients and 1305 female patients, with a male/female ratio of 1∶1.63. Cholestasis type was the most common clinical type and was observed in 1439 patients (68.3%). There was the highest number of patients in the 60-64 years group (942 patients, 44.7%), among whom 618(65.6%) were female, 589(62.5%) had cholestasis type, 471(50.0%) had chronic DILI, 421(44.7%) had drug-induced liver cirrhosis, and 25(2.7%) had drug-induced liver failure. There were 187 patients in the 75-79 years group, among whom 110 (58.8%) patients were male, 137(73.3%) had cholestasis type, 114(60.9%) had liver cirrhosis, 4(2.1%) had drug-induced liver failure. The results showed that chronic DILI was more common in the 60-64 years group, and liver cirrhosis was more common in the 75-79 years group. As for prognosis, in the 60-64 years group, 27 patients (2.9%) were cured, 885 (93.9%) were improved, 30(32%) had no response or died; in the 65-69 years group, 16 (2.8%) were cured, 528 (92.0%) were improved, and 30(5.2%) had no response or died; in the 70-74 years group, 9(2.8%) were cured, 305(94.1%) were improved, and 10 (3.6%) had no response or died. The results showed that there was no significant difference in mortality rate between the different age groups (P＞0.05). The proportion of elderly DILI patients among hospitalized DILI patients increased from 15.90% in 2009 to 22.05% in 2013 and 27.51% in 2019, with a 1.73-fold increase in 11 years. As for regional distribution, the patients in North China accounted for the highest proportion of 47.08% (the patients from Hebei, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia accounted for 24.92%, 10.96%, and 10.25%, respectively), followed by those in Northeast China who accounted for 17.85%. The patients in Beijing accounted for 11.53%. ConclusionThe proportion of elderly DILI patients among hospitalized DILI patients tends to increase in these years. Cholestasis type is the most common clinical type, and most of the patients with this clinical type progress to chronic DILI and drug-induced liver cirrhosis. Early diagnosis, early intervention, and standardized treatment of elderly DILI should be taken seriously.

Three-dimensional reconstruction visualization system enhances the accuracy of lower cervical pedicle screw implantation / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Pedicle screw implantation is a common method to repair many kinds of diseases of the lower cervical spine. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction visualization system can be used in order to improve the accuracy of the implant and improve the prognosis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of 3D reconstruction visualization system on the accuracy of cervical pedicle screw implantation. METHODS: The clinical data of 89 patients with cervical spine dislocation, who underwent cervical pedicle screw implantation, were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into control group (46 cases) and observation group (43 cases) according to the navigation method. Patients in the control group underwent C arm X ray two dimensional navigation. Patients in the observation group underwent three-dimensional reconstruction visualization system navigation. Intraoperative placement time was observed, and the accuracy of screw placement was assessed in both groups. The cases were folowed up for 12 months, and the adverse events were recorded and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Intraoperative implantation time was shorter in the observation group than in the control group, but no significant difference was found (P> 0.05). (2) Accuracy rate: There were no three types of nail cases in the observation group, and the accuracy rate was 93% (40/43). In the control group, two cases affected three types of nailing, and the accuracy rate was 81% (37/46). The accuracy rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) Postoperative folow-up: None suffered from nerve tissue injury to vertebral artery, blood vessel and spinal cord. The screws of the two groups were in stable condition, without screw breakage or loosening. (4) Results suggested that in lower cervical pedicle nail implantation, 3D reconstruction navigation system can effectively improve the accuracy of screw placement, and does not increase nailing time or lead to adverse events. It is a safe and effective navigation mode.

THE EFFECTS OF MULTIVITAMIN FORTIFIED MILK POWDER ON THE GROWTH AND THE NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF YOUNG CHILDREN / 营养学报

Fifty-four children, aged 1.5-3.5 years, were selected from a nursery and divided into three groups. To the children in group 1 multivitamin fortified formular milk powder of Hai-He brand (70g daily) was given as a supplementary food in addition to the normal diet and whole milk powder of Hai-He brand was given to group 2 as another supplementary food. The third group served as control. This observation was lasted for three months. At the end of the third month, the increments of body weight of the children, tricep skinfold and circumference of upper arm of group 1 were higher than those of group 3 significantly, but there were no significant differences between group 1 and group 2. The hemoglobin content of group 1 increased by 0.8g/dl but group 2 and 3 decreased by 0.53g/dl and 0.72g/dl respectively. At the end of our observation, the concentrations of vitamin B1, C and PP in urine of group 1 were higher than those of other two groups by vitamin load test.Thus, we may consider that the multivitamin fortified milk powder is better than the whole milk powder in improving the vitamin and iron nutritional status of young children.
