ABSTRACT

Abstract@#Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) refers to pulmonary inflammation caused by mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection, commonly seen in children aged 5 and above, with fever and cough as the main clinical symptoms. As the primary transmission is through direct contact and respiratory droplets, MPP is prone to cause cross infections in schools and homes. To improve school based prevention and control of MPP, the article proposes comprehensive and multi link technical requirements for the organization and management system of MPP syndromic surveillance and early warning, monitoring contents and methods, information report and disposal. A set of MPP syndromic surveillance, early warning and management plans in school is formulated to strictly prevent and control clustered epidemics on campus.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To analyze prevalence and associated factors of attempting e cigarettes use among senior high school students in Beijing City between 2019 and 2023, in order to providing references for the construction of smoke free senior high schools environments.@*Methods@#In 2019, 9 137 students from 44 senior high schools in Beijing City were monitored, including 27 general senior high schools and 17 vocational senior high schools. In 2023, the study included 6 709 students from 30 senior high schools comprising 21 general senior high schools and 9 vocational senior high schools. On site investigations using anonymous questionnaires were conducted. The monitoring content included demographic information, second hand smoke exposure, tobacco product use and tobacco awareness. Chi square test was used to compare the differences of various indicators in different groups, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was adopted to analysis the influencing factors among senior high school students attempting to use e cigarettes between 2019 and 2023.@*Results@#In 2019, the rates of vocational senior high school and general senior high school students attempting to use e-cigarettes were 22.57% and 9.78%, respectively. In 2023, it decreased to 14.39% and 6.43%, respectively. In 2019 ( OR =1.59,95% CI =1.35-1.88) and 2023 ( OR =1.71,95% CI =1.38-2.11), vocational senior high school students both hold higher risk of attempting to use e-cigarettes,compared with general senior high school students. In 2019, non-indigenous senior high school students attempting to use e cigarettes were more than indigenous senior high school students ( OR = 1.28 , 95% CI =1.05-1.56). In 2019 ( OR =1.62, 95% CI =1.34-1.95) and 2023 ( OR =1.77, 95% CI =1.35-2.31), smoking anywhere in households increased the risk of attempting to use e-cigarettes among senior high school students. In both 2019 and 2023, not attempting to smoke cigarettes ( OR =0.24,95% CI =0.21-0.29; OR =0.15,95% CI =0.11-0.19), not currently smoking cigarettes ( OR =0.29,95% CI =0.22-0.40; OR =0.30,95% CI =0.17-0.53), not being exposed to secondhand smoke in school ( OR =0.62, 95% CI = 0.53 -0.72; OR =0.51, 95% CI =0.41-0.64) or in outdoor public places ( OR =0.74, 95% CI =0.63-0.86; OR = 0.62 , 95% CI =0.50-0.78) all reduced the risk of attempting to use e-cigarettes among senior hgih school students( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The influencing factors of attempts by senior high school students in Beijing City to use e-cigarettes are generally consistent between 2023 and 2019, with a focus on vocational senior high schools to ensure the continuity of intervention measures and promote the construction of smoke free senior high schools.

ABSTRACT

The scientific basis of acupuncture on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating ischemic stroke (IS) is discussed. MSCs transplantation has great potential for the treatment of tissue damage caused by early stage inflammatory cascade reactions of IS, but its actual transformation is limited by various factors. How to improve the homing efficiency of MSCs is the primary issue to enhance its efficacy. As such, the possible mechanisms of acupuncture and MSCs transplantation in inhibiting inflammatory cascade reactions induced by IS are explored by reviewing literature, and a hypothesis that acupuncture could promote the secretion of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) from ischemic foci to regulate SDF-1α/CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis, thereby improving the homing efficiency of MSCs transplantation, exerting its neuroprotective function, and improving the bed transformation ability, is proposed.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand the vision status of primary and secondary school students in Beijing, in order to provide scientific reference for myopia prevention and control.@*Methods@#From 2018 to 2021, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to monitor myopia among 191 293 primary and secondary school students selected from 6 urban areas and 10 suburban areas in Beijing. Myopic screening was in accordance with the "standards for children and adolescents myopic screening", and was measured by an automatic desktop computer optometer under non-cycloplegic conditions. Statistical analysis was used by Chi-square test.@*Results@#The total myopia rate of primary and middle school students in Beijing from 2018 to 2021 were 60.7%, 57.6%, 59.2% and 59.7%, respectively. In 2018, the myopia rates of primary school students, middle school students, regular high school students and vocational high school students were 38.3%, 77.3%, 88.3% and 73.2% respectively. In 2019, they were 34.7%, 76.4%, 87.7% and 72.0%, respectively; in 2020, they were 37.5%, 76.8%, 86.8%, 74.9%; in 2021, they were 38.7%, 77.4%, 86.5% and 74.9 % respectively. Significant differences in educational stage were observed ( χ 2=7 386.07, 11 104.28, 9 850.08, 9 714.59, P <0.01). From 2018 to 2021, the overall myopia rate of girls (62.1%) was higher than that of boys (56.5%)( χ 2=613.75, P <0.01). The myopia rate of girls were higher than that of boys in each year, and significant differences in educational stage were observed, respectively( χ 2=120.47, 163.47, 168.01, 162.24, P <0.01). The overall myopia rate of urban students(63.0%) was higher than that of suburban students (56.0%)( χ 2=978.82, P <0.01). The myopia rate of urban students were higher than that of suburban students every year, and significant differences in educational stage were observed, respectively ( χ 2=86.71, 240.96, 302.56, 409.30 , P < 0.01 ).@*Conclusion@#The detection rate of myopia rate of primary and middle school students in Beijing is still high. It is necessary to strengthen the publicity and intervention of poor visual acuity in primary and middle school students, especially among urban area students, with the aim of effectively control and reduction in the myopia rate, and the improvement of student visual health.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the mechanism underlying the suppressive effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis(P.gingivalis)on ferroptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods ESCC cells infected with P.gingivalis and uninfected control cells were treated with ferroptosis inducer RSL3 followed by measurements of cell viability,malondialde-hyde(MDA),reactive oxygen species(ROS),and the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).Moreover,the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and its target genes were detected by qPT-PCR,Western blotting or immunohistochem-istry in ESCC tissue and cells under the condition of P.gingivalis infection.The effect of P.gingivalis infection combined with the HIF-1α inhibitors LW6 and RSL3 on ferroptosis in ESCC was detected in vitro and in vivo.Results P.gingivalis infection of the ESCC cells resulted in an increase of the cell viability(P<0.05),decreased levels of intracellular ROS(P<0.05)and MDA(P<0.05)and increased the expression of GPX4 compared with RSL3 treatment alone.In ESCC tissues,the increased a-bundance of P.gingivalis was correlated with upregulation of HIF-1α.Furthermore,P.gingivalis infection induced upregula-tion of HIF-1α and its target genes.LW6 promoted ferroptosis via inhibiting the HIF-1α upregulation induced by P.gingivalis infection in vitro and in vivo.Conclusion HIF-1α renders resistance to ferroptosis in P.gingivalis infected ESCC.Combination of HIF-1α inhibitory agents and ferroptosis inducing agents might be a novel therapeutic strategy in ESCC care.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the value of quantitative analysis of the relative signal intensity (SI) of liver gadolinium disodium enhanced MRI in the grading of liver fibrosis.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2020, the relevant data of 131 patients who underwent gadoxetate disodium enhanced MRI examination were retrospectively analyzed in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital. All patients had histopathological results. According to the Laennec grading system of liver fibrosis, the patients were classified in F0-F1 (27 cases), F2 (19 cases), F3 (17 cases) and F4 (68 cases). The signal intensity of the liver, erector spinae and spleen were measured before and after the enhancement; and 5 post-contrast relative SI parameters were calculated, including the relative enhancement (RE), liver-to-muscle contrast ratio (LMC), liver-to-spleen contrast ratio (LSC), LMC increase rate, LSC increase rate. The differences of 5 post-contrast relative SI parameters among the different fibrosis grades were compared using one-way analysis of variance. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of 5 post-contrast relative SI parameters in the diagnosis of clinically significant liver fibrosis (F2-F4), advanced liver fibrosis (F3-F4) and liver cirrhosis (F4).Results:The differences of RE, LMC, LSC, LMC increase rate, LSC increase rate among different liver fibrosis grades were statistically significant (all P<0.001). With the increasing of the degree of liver fibrosis, the RE, LMC increase rate and LSC increase rate showed decreased. ROC results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of RE, LMC increase rate, LSC increase rate in diagnosing liver fibrosis in all levels were greater than those of LMC and LSC. The AUC values of RE, LMC increase rate, LSC increase rate in the diagnosis of significant fibrosis (F2-F4) were 0.89, 0.86, 0.83, with the sensitivity as 81.7%, 71.2%, 81.7%, and the specificity as 96.3%, 85.2%, and 74.1%, respectively. The AUC values of RE, LMC increase rate, LSC increase rate in the diagnosis of advanced liver fibrosis (F3-F4) were 0.93, 0.88, 0.86, with the sensitivity as 84.7%, 72.9%, 91.8%, and the specificity as 91.3%, 87.0 %, 71.7%; and the AUC values for diagnosing liver cirrhosis (F4) were 0.92, 0.86, 0.85, with the sensitivity as 82.4%, 76.5%, 92.7%, and the specificity as 88.9%, 81.0%, 65.1%, respectively. Conclusion:Gadoxetate disodium enhanced MRI relative SI parameters including RE, LMC increase rate and LSC increase rate might be used as a useful imaging marker in liver fibrosis grading.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the expression of cellular apoptosis susceptibility protein (CAS) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its correlation with clinical characteristics.@*METHODS@#The expression of CAS in bone marrow tissue of 54 patients with AML and 24 patients with non-hematological malignant diseases was detected by Western blot and immune-histochemical method, and compared between AML group and control group. Also the relationship of CAS expression in AML and sex, age, WBC count, Hb, platelet count, bone marrow blast cell ratio, ki-67 index, cytogenetic and molecular biological prognostic risk stratification, extramedullary infiltration and other clinical characteristics was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Western blot showed that the expression of CAS protein in bone marrow biopsies of AML patients was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Immune-histochemical method revealed that CAS was mainly located in the cytoplasm in both AML group and control group. Among 54 AML patients, 14 patients (25.9%) showed high expression of CAS, while all the 24 patients in the control group showed low expression of CAS. The high expression rate of CAS in AML patients was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in prognostic risk stratification and the remission rate of the first chemotherapy between CAS high expression group and CAS low expression group in AML (P<0.05). The proportion of high risk patients and unremission patients after the first chemotherapy in CAS high expression group were significantly higher than those in CAS low expression group (57.1% vs 27.5%, 30.8% vs 7.9%), while the proportion of low risk patients and complete remission patients after the first chemotherapy were significantly lower than those in CAS low expression group (14.3% vs 37.5%, 53.8% vs 84.2%). In AML patients, the ki-67 index of bone marrow tissue in CAS high expression group was higher than that in CAS low expression group (60% vs 50%) (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#CAS is localized in cytoplasm in both AML and non-hematological malignant diseases, and its expression increases in AML. CAS is related to the risk stratification of cytogenetics and molecular biology, the remission rate after the first chemotherapy and ki-67 index in AML, which suggests that CAS may be involved in the occurrence and development of AML.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To clarify the importance and practical significance of the standardized rate in primary healthcare work by comparing the differences in the prevalence of myopia in districts in Beijing before and after standardization.@*Methods@#This study recruited a total of 41 029 students from 107 primary and secondary schools and 35 kindergartens from the 16 districts of Beijing municipality. All participants underwent distance vision and refractive testing. The presence of myopia was defined as naked eye vision of <5.0 and non-ciliary muscle paralysis under computer optometry with a spherical equivalent objective refractive error of <-0.50 diopters (<-0.50 D). The student composition outlined in the 2018-2019 Beijing Education Development Statistics Summary was used as a standard group to standardize the prevalence of myopia in students from various districts of Beijing. The difference in the pre-and post-standardization rates was used to compare the change in myopia in each district before and after standardization.@*Results@#In 2018, the prevalence of myopia in students from Beijing was 57.3%. Stratified by school period, the prevalence of myopia in preschool, primary school, junior high school, ordinary high school, and vocational high school students was 12.1%, 38.4%, 77.2%, 88.3%, and 73.1%, respectively. Although the prevalence of myopia in Daxing District was the highest both before and after standardization, the difference in the prevalence rate was 13.8 percentage points. The prevalence of myopia in Miyun District was the lowest before standardization. However, after standardization, the prevalence of myopia was lowest in Huairou District.@*Conclusion@#The prevalence of myopia among Beijing students is generally high. Before and after standardization, the prevalence of myopia in different districts was quite different. The results show that, in practice, the standardized prevalence can reveal the true epidemiological characteristics of specific disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand the current situation of tobacco use in primary and secondary school staff members in Beijing in 2019, and its association with adolescent tobacco use and exposure, in order to promote the construction of smoke-free schools.@*Methods@#During April to June in 2019,PPS sampling was used to select primary schools, secondary schools and vocational high school. Each selected school randomly investigates 20 faculty members, totalling 2 737. The monitoring contents mainly include the current tobacco use, knowledge and attitude towards health risk of smoking among the school staff.@*Results@#The faculty did not receive the training of adolescent tobacco control (OR=0.20,95%CI=0.14-0.28) were only 20% likely to teach tobacco hazard knowledge compared to the trained staff, and refusal to use tobacco control instruction manual (OR=0.21,95%CI=0.14-0.32) was negatively associated with teaching tobacco control with students. Staff members having given lectures on tobacco refusal were more inclined to uphold "any people can t smoke anywhere on campus "(98.53%), and the interpretation of the rules tends to be more clear. Staff who has been employed for 20-30 years (OR=3.35,95%CI=2.22-5.05) were the most probably to preach tobacco control among students(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Staff caring about health and participate actively in health training were more willing to spread health knowledge. More attention should be paid to the cultivation of health literacy of school staff, and proactively guide faculty unwilling to instruct students in health hazard of smoking to gradually realize the importance of adolescent tobacco control.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand current situation of e cigarette use and associated factors in primary and secondary school students in Beijing, in order to promote the construction of smoke free schools.@*Methods@#During April to June in 2019, PPS sampling was used to select primary schools, secondary schools and trade schools. In each selected school, randomly sampling method was conducted until the sample size was reached. There were 18 312 students included in the analysis. Surveillance information mainly included the current situation of electronic cigarette use and associated factors.@*Results@#Among primary and secondary school students who have known about e cigarettes, female students were less likely to use e cigarettes than male students ( OR = 0.47 , 95% CI =0.42- 0.54 ). After entering the second year of junior high school, the possibility of using e cigarettes increased. Smoke free home was associated less e cigarettes usage ( OR =0.78, 95% CI =0.69-0.88). Primary and secondary school students with average daily allowance of 30~<150 yuan and no less than 150 yuan were 1.43 (95% CI =1.22-1.67) times and 2.24 (95% CI =1.79-2.79) times more likely to use e cigarettes than those with 0-10 yuan allowance, respectively. The probability of using e cigarettes among primary and secondary school students who have not tried using cigarettes was only 16.4% compared with those who have tried cigarettes ( OR =0.16, 95% CI =0.14-0.19).@*Conclusion@#It is necessary to curb the prevalence of e cigarettes among primary and secondary school students. Actions need to be taken urgently to fill in the gaps or correct the mistakes in children and adolescents cognition of e cigarettes, and to adopt more innovative methods to scientifically guide children and adolescents to stay away from e cigarettes.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To assess the changes of left ventricular systolic function and global myocardial work in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients by speckle tracking layer-specific strain combined with myocardial work technique and explore the diagnostic value of each parameter for HFpEF.Methods:From December 2019 to December 2020, 38 HFpEF patients (HFpEF group) and 38 healthy individuals with age- and sex-matched (control group) were enrolled consecutively in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. Conventional ultrasound parameters were collected. Layer-specific strain and myocardial work techniques were used to obtain the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricular endocardium, mid-myocardium, and epicardium (GLSendo, GLSmid, GLSepi), global myocardial work index (GWI), global myocardial work efficiency (GWE), global constructive work (GCW), and global wasted work (GWW). The absolute difference of GLS(ΔGLS) between endocardium and epicardium were calculate.All parameters were analyzed statistically. ROC curves were plotted to compare the effectiveness of layer-specific strain and myocardial work parameters in predicting left ventricular systolic function impairment in HFpEF patients.Results:①Left atrial diameter, interventricular septum at end-diastole, left ventricular posterior wall at end-diastole, relative wall thickness, left ventricular mass index, and average early diastolic peak velocity (E)/early diastolic tissue velocity (e′) in HFpEF group were significantly higher compared with control subjects, while late diastolic peak velocity (A), E/A, and e′ were significantly lower (all P<0.05); E, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, fraction shortening, and left ventricular ejection fraction were not different between HFpEF and control groups (all P>0.05). ②The global longitudinal strain of the left ventricule was highest in the endocardium and lowest in the epicardium. ③Compared with control subjects, HFpEF patients demonstrated significantly decreased GLSendo, GLSmid, GLSepi, ΔGLS, GWI, GWE, GCW and increased GWW (all P<0.01). ④The ROC results showed that the area under the curve of ΔGLS and GWE for predicting left ventricular contractile function impairment in HFpEF group, was 0.884 and 0.882, respectively; The cutoff values were -5.8% and 95%; The sensitivity were 84.2% and 71.1%, and the specificity was 84.2% and 89.5%, respectively. ⑤The ROC curve of combining the two technologies showed that the maximum area under the curve of the ΔGLS in tandem with GWE was 0.944, the sensitivity was 81.6%, and the specificity was 97.4%. Conclusions:Both speckle tracking layer-specific strain and myocardial work techniques can sensitively detect left ventricular myocardial function impairment in HFpEF patients at an early stage. ΔGLS and GWE are more reliable indexes for predicting left ventricular systolic function damage in HFpEF patients. Combining the two techniques can improve the diagnostic performance in HFpEF patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the incremental value of subtraction technique in evaluating the major features of liver reporting and data system version 2018 (LI-RADS v2018) on gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhanced MRI.Methods:The Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI of 117 pathologically verified hepatocellualr carcinoma(HCC) from 87 high-risk patients in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2019 to July 2020 was analyzed retrospectively. The major features of LI-RADS in arterial phase, portal venous phase, subtraction and combined images were evaluated including nonrim arterial phase hyperenhancement (Nonrim APHE), nonperipheral washout and enhancing capsule. The lesions were graded according to LI-RADS v2018. According to the lesion size (<20 mm, ≥20 mm) and T 1WI signal intensity (hypointensity, isointensity or hyperintensity), the patients were divided into different subgroups. Cochran′s Q test was used for the comparison of the detection rate of the major features of LI-RADS and the accurate diagnosis rate based on LR-5 as the diagnostic standard among multiple groups. McNemar test was used for the comparison between two groups. Results:For all HCC, hypointensity HCC and HCC ≥20 mm, the detection rate of Nonrim APHE (χ2=12.190, 12.500, 10.083, all P<0.001) and the accurate diagnosis rate of HCC (χ2=14.450, 12.500, 10.083, all P<0.001) of subtraction images from arterial phase were significantly higher than that of arterial images. For HCC<20 mm, the detection rate of Nonrim APHE combined with arterial phase images was significantly higher than that in arterial phase images (χ2=5.143, P=0.016). For all HCC and isointensity or hyperintensity HCC, the detection rate of nonperipheral washout combined with portal venous phase images was higher than that in portal venous phase images (χ2=7.111, 6.125, P=0.004, 0.008). The detection rate of enhancing capsule of subtraction images from portal venous phase was higher than that of portal venous phase images in all groups (all P<0.017). The accurate diagnosis rate of subtraction images from portal venous phase in all HCC and HCC≥20 mm was higher than that in portal venous phase images (χ2=6.722, 6.750, P=0.008, 0.006). The accurate diagnosis rate of LR-5 in all groups using subtraction images from arterial phase and portal venous phase was higher than that of MRI images (all P<0.013). Conclusion:For Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic enhanced MRI, subtraction images from arterial phase and portal venous phase are better than arterial phase and portal venous phase images in displaying Nonrim APHE, nonperipheral washout and enhancing capsule, which can improve the LI-RADS classification of HCC.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of the initiation of sacubitril-valsartan (ARNI) therapy, as compared with ACEI therapy, after hemodynamic stabilization among patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods: A total of 199 hospitalized patients for ADHF in our department from January 2017 to June 2019 were included in this retrospective analysis. According to the medication early after hemodynamic stabilization, patients were divided into ARNI group (n=92) and ACEI group (n=107). Among the included patients, 61 patients with newly diagnosed heart failure at the time of admission were also divided into ARNI group (n=30) and ACEI group (n=31) according to the applied medication. Clinical baseline data and follow-up results of enrolled patients were collected through the electronic medical records at admission, outpatient and telephone follow-up. The primary effectiveness observation index was left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) measured by echocardiography; the secondary observation index was death from any causes and hospitalization for heart failure. Safety outcomes were the incidences of symptomatic hypotension, worsening renal function, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Results: The clinical baseline characteristics were similar between ARNI group and ACEI group(all P>0.05). The duration of follow up was (15.2±6.5) months in all patients enrolled, (12.3±5.0) months in ARNI group, and (18.2±6.5) months in ACEI group. At the end of follow-up, prevalence of an absolute LVEF increase of more than 5% was 48.9% (45/92) in ANRI group and 25.2% (27/107) in ACEI group (P=0.001). Percent of LVEF increase to more than 50% was 17.4% (16/92) in ANRI group and 3.7% (4/107) in ACEI group (P=0.001). Percent of patients with more than 10 mm LVEDD reduction was 14.1% (13/92) in ANRI group and 3.7% (4/107) in ACEI group (P=0.009). All-cause mortality rate was 5.7% (5/88) in ARNI group and 15.3% (13/85) in ACEI group (P=0.038). Rate of re-hospitalization due to heart failure was 50% (46/92) in ARNI group and 71% (76/107) in ACEI group(P=0.002).The rates of symptomatic hypotension, worsening renal function, hyperkalemia, and angioedema were similar between ARNI group and ACEI group (all P>0.05). In patients with first diagnosed heart failure,percent of LVEF increase to more than 50% was 30% (9/30) in ANRI group and 6.5% (2/31) in ACEI group (P=0.017). Percent of more than 10 mm LVEDD reduction was 26.7%(8/30) in ANRI group and 3.2%(1/31) in ACEI group (P=0.012). Percent of an absolute LVEF increase of more than 5% was 53.3% (16/30) in ANRI group and 51.6% (16/31) in ACEI group (P=0.893). Re-hospitalization due to heart failure was 23.3% (7/30) in ARNI group and 73.3% (11/31) in ACEI group(P<0.01). Rate of all-cause death tended to be lower in patients receiving ARNI (3.4% (1/29)) as compared to patients receiving ACEI (13.0% (3/23), P=0.197). Conclusions: Among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction hospitalized for ADHF, the initiation of ARNI therapy after hemodynamic stabilization is associated with a more significant improvement of cardiac remodeling and pump function than ACEI therapy and satisfactory safety. In ADHF patients with first diagnosed heart failure, initiation of ARNI therapy after hemodynamic stabilization can more effectively improve cardiac remodeling and pump function than treatment with ACEI.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the method for inducing the differentiation of bone marrow cells into megakaryocytes in vitro so as to use for evaluating the activity of traditional Chinese medicines.@*METHODS@#The bone marrow cells were separated from femurs and tibias of mice. The experiments were divided into 4 groups: control (no adding cytokines), TPO (adding 50 ng/ml TPO), TPO+SCF (50 ng/ml+50 ng/ml) and TPO+SCF+IL-6+IL-9 (50 ng/ml+50 ng/ml+20 ng/ml+20 ng/ml). The bone marrow cells in 4 groups were cultured in vitro for 6 d. Then the cell growth status was observed by the inverted microscopy, and the cell count was detected by using the automatic cell counter. The ratio and absolute count of megakaryocytes were detected by flow cytometry.@*RESULTS@#Compared with control, three induction methods could stimulate the differentiation of bone marrow cells into megakaryocytes in vitro. TPO could slightly enhance the differentiation of bone marrow cells into megakaryocytes. Both the combination of TPO and SCF, and the combination of TPO, SCF, IL-6 and IL-9 could intensively stimulate proliferation of bone morrow cells and promote the differentiation of bone marrow cells into megakaryocytes. The addition of IL-6 and IL-9 could decrease the proliferation of non-megakaryocytes, but promote the differentiation of bone marrow cells into megakaryocytes.@*CONCLUSION@#The optimized differentiation of bone marrow cells into megakaryocytes has been completed by co-induction regimen of TPO, SCF, IL-6 and IL-9, which can be used to screen and evaluate traditional Chinese medicines promoting formation of platelets.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the correlation between quantitative parameters derived from iodine overlay images and the monochromatic images of dual‐energy CT and the differentiation degree of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LHSCC). Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical and imaging data of eighty patients with different differentiation degree of LHSCC who underwent dual‐energy CT enhanced scan in the arterial and venous phase from March 2016 to January 2017 (20, 42 and 18 patients with well, moderately and poorly differentiation, respectively) was performed.Among them, twenty‐eight cases were stage T1, twenty‐four cases were stage T2, twenty cases were stage T3 and eight cases were stage T4. All patients were not treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy before operation. Iodine overlay images and the monochromatic images of arterial and venous phases were acquired from Syngo MultiModality Workplace dual‐energy post‐processing software of Siemens, respectively. The mean iodine concentration (IC), standardized iodine concentration (SIC), and the slope of spectral curve(λ) of different differentiation degrees of LHSCC were calculated and compared. The correlation between quantitative parameters of LHSCC and its differentiation degree was performed by Spearman rank sum test. One‐way analysis of variance was used to compare the quantitative parameters of different differentiation degree of LHSCC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for analyzing diagnostic efficiency. Results The IC, SIC, and λ in the arterial phase, and IC in the venous phase correlated positively with differentiation degree in LHSCC (r=0.258, 0.350, 0.262 and 0.275, respectively; P<0.05) in this group. The IC, SIC, and λ of poorly differentiated LHSCC in the arterial phase [(3.13 ± 0.54) mg/ml, (0.38±0.10), (5.40±0.92)] were higher than those of well differentiated LHSCC [(2.38±1.02) mg/ml, (0.25± 0.09) and (4.19 ± 1.18); t=2.73, 3.36 and 2.75 respectively; P<0.05] and moderately differentiated LHSCC [(2.56±0.85) mg/ml, (0.28±0.16) and (4.56±1.41); t=2.38, 3.06 and 2.21, P<0.05]. IC of poorly differentiated LHSCC in the venous phase [(2.59 ± 0.62) mg/ml] was significantly higher than that of well differentiated LHSCC [(1.96±0.56) mg/ml,t=2.45,P<0.05] and moderately differentiated [(2.02±0.93) mg/ml,t=2.56,P<0.05] LHSCC. There was no significant difference in the SIC and λ between different differentiation degrees of LHSCC (P>0.05) in the venous phase. The standardized iodine concentration in the arterial phase was the best in distinguishing poorly and moderately differentiated LHSCC, and poorly and well differentiated LHSCC with the area under the receiver operating curve 0.77 and 0.81, respectively, the sensitivity 88.2% and 70.0%, respectively, and the specificity 69.0% and 70.0%, respectively. Conclusions Quantitative parameters derived from dual‐energy CT might be useful in the evaluation of different differentiated degrees of LHSCC. In addition, the standardized iodine concentration of LHSCC in the arterial phase was the best in the estimation of different differentiated degrees of LHSCC.

ABSTRACT

Objective To carry out the 4th round of third-party evaluation on the implementation and effect of the 1st year of the 2nd Phase National Healthcare Improvement Initiative ( abbreviated as Initiative) since 2015. Methods The 4th round of the evaluation survey adopted the same methods, organization and execution, and technical roadmap as the former three rounds of evaluations.Results The 4th round of evaluation was carried out from 18 March to 9 April, 2019 at 185 public hospitals in 31 provinces ( autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government ) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Facility survey, health professional survey and patient survey were conducted at each of the sample health facilities. A total of 120 782 valid questionnaires were collected from 144 non-psychiatric health facilities, 16 246 valid questionnaires were obtained from 41 psychiatric health facilities, and 252 cases of outstanding departments/hospitals in healthcare improvement were also collected. The average overall scoring of the 12 dimensions to assess Initiative implementation at 144 non-psychiatric health facilities was 84.4%. The overall outpatient satisfaction scoring was 91.1% , 96.7% for the inpatients. The overall inpatient satisfaction(family members inclusive) at 41 psychiatric health facilities was 93%. Areas remaining to be improved include day-surgery, telemedicine and medical social work. Compared with technical services, non-technical care should be further strengthened. The compensation, workload and work environment of the healthcare providers are still to be improved. Conclusions The implementation of the Initiative by health facilities has been greatly improved. The percentage of health facilities and patients who had positive perceptions of improved doctor-patient relationship has been increasing. Patient care experiences at public hospitals have been generally improved, and the implementation of promoting traditional Chinese Medicine practices also made progress. However, work satisfaction of healthcare providers was found to be rather low, compared to the high level of patient satisfaction.
