Objective@#To compare and investigate the physicochemical characteristics and antibacterial effect of ZnO nanofilms prepared by atomic layer deposition(ALD) at different deposition cycles.@*Methods@#According to different ALD cycles, four groups were set up (control group, 300, 600 and 1 200 cycles group). Using DEZn and water as precursors, ZnO nanofilms were prepared by ALD on the surface of pure titanium specimens. Surface morphology of the films was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM); the element composition and crystal type of the films were observed by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); the hydrophilicity and thickness of the films were detected by water contact angle detector and ellipsometer. The cytotoxicity of the films was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. The antibacterial effect against S. aureus in vitro of the films was evaluated by optical density method.@*Results@#The surface morphology of the films was uniform and compact as shown through SEM. The grain size increased with the increase of the number of ALD cycles. EDS results showed that the films were mainly composed of Zn and O elements. XRD results confirmed that the composition of the films was ZnO. Results of water contact angle showed that the films were hydrophobic. The thickness of the films was nanoscale and there was a linear relationship between the thickness and ALD cycles. All experimental groups showed no cytotoxicity. The 1 200 cycles group showed the highest antibacterial rate of 65.9% and 52.3% at 24 and 48 hours respectively, which was the best among all experimental groups. @*Conclusion@#The ZnO nanofilms prepared by ALD at different cycles on pure titanium surface are uniform and compact. Thickness of the films increases with the increase of ALD cycles. The films have good biocompatibility and anti-S. aureus effect in vitro. The 1 200 cycles group has the best antibacterial effect.

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Induced by Sintilimab: A Case Report

Sintilimab is an anti-programmed cell death receptor-1 antibody. The phase III clinical trial ORIENT-12 confirmed the safety of sintilimab combined with pemetrexed/platinum in the treatment of advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Skin reactions are the most commonly reported adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors and are rarely severe.We describe a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis related to sintilimab in an elderly oncologic patient. 3 weeks after immunotherapy, the patient developed an extensive rash and diffuse itching, rapidly evolving into macules, blisters, bullae and erosions. Causal evaluation was performed based on the algorithm of drug causality for epidermal necrolysis and national Food and Drug Administration qualitative analysis. The patient responded to high-dose glucocorticosteroid and supportive therapy, alongside with local wound care. If immune checkpoint inhibitors need to be extrapolated clinically, strictly following evidence-based research, promptly detecting and treating adverse reactions is crucial.

Analysis of the growth and development of HIV-infected children on initiated ART in Guangxi, 2004-2019 / 中国热带医学

@#Abstract: Objective　To investigate the growth and development of HIV-infected children initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) and its influencing factors. Methods　This retrospective cohort study was conducted in Guangxi. HIV-infected children initiating free antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2004 to 2019 were included. Z-score was calculated according to the Chinese Child Growth and Development Standard, the Cox-Stuart test was used for trend analysis, and the generalized estimating equation was used to analyze HAZ (Height-for-age Z-score)≥-2 and WAZ (Weight-for-age Z-score)≥-2 influencing factors. Results　A total of 943 children with HIV infection were enrolled in the cohort. The median HAZ at baseline and 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after treatment was -2.47, -2.14, -1.94, -1.55, -1.23, respectively, and the median WAZ was -1.85, -1.40, -1.30, -1.21, -1.09, respectively. By Cox-Stuart trend test, HAZ and WAZ showed an upward trend with the treatment time (P<0.05). The proportions of HAZ≥-2 at baseline and at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after treatment were 38.1%, 46.5%, 51.6%, 66.8%, and 74.6%, respectively, and the proportions of WAZ≥-2 were 57.1%, 76.9%, 81.1%, 85.8% and 89.2%, respectively. According to Cox-Stuart trend test, the proportions of HAZ≥-2 and WAZ≥-2 increased with the treatment time (P<0.05). The results of multivariate generalized estimating equation analysis showed that the associated factors with HAZ≥-2 were that age at ART initiation was 3-7 years old (aOR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.53-0.94), age at ART initiation was >7 years old (aOR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.47-0.93), CD4 cell counts before ART was <200/μL (aOR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.47-0.87), WHO clinical stage before ART was Stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ (aOR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.56-0.97) and time on ART (aOR=1.01, 95%CI: 1.01-1.01); the associated factors with WAZ≥-2 were male (aOR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.53-0.97), WHO clinical stage before ART was Stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ (aOR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.45-0.86) and time on ART (aOR=1.01, 95%CI: 1.01-1.01). Conclusion　Antiretroviral therapy can effectively improve the growth and development status of children with HIV infection, but a large proportion of children still have stunted growth and development in the 10th year after treatment. It is necessary to strengthen the training of antiretroviral treatment staff and the publicity and education of parents of children infected with HIV. Improve the effect of antiviral treatment and guide children's nutrition reasonably.

Academic pressure and Internet addiction were derived from the College Students Mental Health Screening Scale. A cross lag analysis was used to explore the relationship between college students academic pressure and Internet addiction.@*Results@#Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the main effect of time for academic pressure was significant[ F(3,16 113)= 767.28 , P<0.01,η 2=0.13]. The academic pressure of college students showed a downward trend over time, with the highest at T1 stage and the lowest at T4 stage. The main effect of time for college students Internet addiction was significant[ F(3,16 113)= 165.22 , P<0.01, η 2=0.03]. The Internet addiction of college students showed a trend of decreasing after increasing over time, with the highest stage T2 and the lowest stage T4. The cross lag analysis showed that academic pressure of T1 could significantly predict the Internet addiction of T2, and academic pressure of T3 could significantly predict the Internet addiction of T4, and the path coefficients are 0.07 and 0.07( P <0.01). In addition, the pre test (T n ) Internet addiction can significantly predict the post test [T( n +1)] academic pressure, and the path coefficients were 0.06, 0.06, 0.08( P <0.01).@*Conclusion@#Academic pressure can partially predict Internet addiction among college students, while Internet addiction can also significantly predict academic pressure. Colleges and universities should strengthen the construction of learning style, reduce the academic pressure of students,and reduce the Internet addiction of college students through various ways, so as to promote the healthy development of college students.

Value of bedside echocardiography in predicting persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus during the early postnatal period in very low birth weight infants / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To study the value of bedside echocardiography in predicting persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus during the early postnatal period in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed for 51 VLBW infants who were admitted from March 2020 to June 2021, with an age of ≤3 days and a length of hospital stay of ≥14 days. According to the diameter of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) on days 14 and 28 after birth, the infants were divided into three groups: large PDA group (PDA diameter ≥2 mm), small PDA group (PDA diameter <2 mm), and PDA closure group (PDA diameter =0 mm). The echocardiographic parameters measured at 72 hours after birth were compared among the three groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of the echocardiographic parameters in predicting persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus (PDA≥2 mm) at the ages of 14 and 28 days.@*RESULTS@#On day 14 after birth, there were 17 infants in the large PDA group, 11 in the small PDA group, and 23 in the PDA closure group. On day 28 after birth, there were 14 infants in the large PDA group, 9 in the small PDA group, and 26 in the PDA closure group. There were significant differences in gestational age, birth weight, rate of pulmonary surfactant use, and incidence rate of hypotension among the three groups (P<0.05). PDA diameter, end-diastolic velocity of the left pulmonary artery, left ventricular output, and left ventricular output/superior vena cava flow ratio measured at 72 hours after birth were associated with persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus at the ages of 14 and 28 days (P<0.05), and the ratio of the left atrium to aorta diameter was associated with persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus at the age of 28 days (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve that the PDA diameter measured at 72 hours after birth predicting the persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus at the ages of 14 and 28 days was the largest (0.841 and 0.927 respectively), followed by end-diastolic velocity of the left pulmonary artery, with the area under the curve of 0.793 and 0.833 respectively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The indicators obtained by beside echocardiography at 72 hours after birth, especially PDA diameter and end-diastolic velocity of the left pulmonary artery, can predict persistent patency of the ductus arteriosus at the ages of 14 and 28 days in VLBW infants, which provides a basis for the implementation of early targeted treatment strategy for PDA.

Objective@#To explore the dynamic changes of suicidal ideation in college students, and to provide evidence for the early prevention and intervention of suicidal ideation.@*Methods@#A cluster sampling of 5 372 college students from one university in Jiangsu was selected and followed up for four years (2016—2019) using the College Students Mental Health Screening Scale.@*Results@#The detection rates of suicidal ideation among college students in the first to four (T1-T4) stages were 4.36%, 8.99%, 7.32 %, and 5.90%, respectively, showing decreasing after increasing trend. Stage T2 was the turning point, and the trend of change was significantly different ( P <0.01). The detection rate of suicidal ideation of girls in T1 stage was significantly higher than that of boys ( χ 2=10.55, P <0.01). In the T1-T2 stages, the rate of suicidal idea detection among boys increased faster than that of girls, and the rate of boys in T4 stage surpassed that of girls. The detection rate of suicidal ideation in T1-T4 stage of students in big cities was higher than that of students in small and medium sized cities, towns and rural areas, and the difference in stage T4 was very significant ( χ 2=32.11, P <0.01). The contingency table analysis found that the proportion of suicidal ideation at the same time in the two stages before and after was between 18.63%-35.04% ( P <0.01). There was no suicidal ideation in the previous stage, and the proportion of suicidal ideation in the latter stage was between 4.48%-7.80% ( P <0.01). There were 11 participants who had suicidal ideation in the T1-T4 stages, accounting for 0.20% of the total number, and 4.70% of the suicidal ideation number.@*Conclusion@#Colleges and universities should pay more attention to suicidal ideation prevention for vulnerable groups in important periods, and grasp the dynamic information of students through a variety of ways.

An intensive education program for caregivers ameliorates anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy and mesial temporal sclerosis who underwent cortico-amygdalohippocampectomy

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a caregiver intensive education program (CIEP) on anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy and mesial temporal sclerosis (TLE-MTS) who underwent cortico-amygdalohippocampectomy (CAH). Ninety patients with drug-resistant TLE-MTS who underwent CAH and their caregivers were recruited and randomly allocated to the CIEP group or control group as 1:1 ratio. Caregivers received the CIEP program or routine guidance/education (control group). Anxiety/depression and QOL in patients at month (M)0, M1, M3, and M6 were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scale and the QOL in Epilepsy Inventory-31 (QOLIE-31), respectively. Treatment efficacy at M6 was assessed by Engel classification. The HADS-anxiety score at M3 (P=0.049) and M6 (P=0.028), HADS-anxiety score change (M6-M0) (P=0.001), percentage of anxiety patients at M6 (P=0.025), and anxiety severity at M6 (P=0.011) were all decreased in the CIEP group compared with the control group. The HADS-depression score at M6 (P=0.033) and HADS-depression score change (M6-M0) (P=0.022) were reduced, while percentage of depression patients at M6 (P=0.099) and depression severity at M6 (P=0.553) showed no difference in the CIEP group compared with the control group. The QOLIE-31 score at M6 (P=0.043) and QOLIE-31 score change (M6-M0) (P=0.010) were both elevated in the CIEP group compared with the control group. In conclusion, CIEP for caregivers contributed to the recovery of anxiety and depression as well as the improvement of QOL in patients with drug-resistant TLE-MTS who underwent CAH.

Research Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treating Diabetes Mellitus Based on PI3K/Akt Pathway / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, with a high incidence and many complications. It has become an increasingly serious public health problem in the world, and has seriously affected the quality of life. Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway is the main pathway of insulin signal transmission and the main signal channel for regulating blood glucose. The abnormal signal molecule of PI3K/Akt may cause abnormal signal transduction pathway, so as to impact the proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis and invasion of the corresponding tissues and organs, and lead to the occurrence of disease. Study of PI3K/Akt signal channel has a positive significance for investigating whether traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has a definite and stable hypoglycemic effect. Currently, there are many TCM and Western medicines to treat diabetes, however, most drugs, especially Western medicines, have a relatively poor effect in controlling complications. To understand the progress of TCM in treatment of diabetes, in expectation of better studying the comprehensive therapeutic effect and mechanism of TCM on diabetes, and further developing the multi-target, multi-way and multi-channel advantages and features of TCM in the treatment of diabetes, this paper focuses on a systematic analysis on the progress of in vivo and in vitro studies on DM based on PI3K/Akt signaling channel in recent years, including the effect of the signaling channel on insulin secretion, the three main target organs of insulin (liver, skeletal muscle and fat), and its effect on the four main complications of diabetes (brain, kidney, heart, testis), and also provides certain ideas and guidance for the study of hypoglycemic mechanism of TCM monomer, TCM and compound medicine.

Establishment and evaluation of in vivo and in vitro D-galactose induced cognitive impairment models / 药学实践杂志

Objective To construct and explore the in vivo and in vitro D-galactose induced cognitive impairment models and evaluate the application value of the combined models in the study of cognitive impairments.Methods The cognitive impairment mice model induced by D-gal was prepared by continuous intraperitoneal injection of D-gal saline solution for 8weeks, followed by detection of learning and memory functions with Morris water maze.The related molecular markers in the brain tissue were assayed to evaluate the effect and application value.D-gal cell model was prepared by adding D-gal in different concentrations into the cell cultural medium of neurons harvested from the hippocampus of young mice.The effect and application value were evaluated by detecting the molecular markers related to the level of cell injury.Results The Morris water maze on the D-gal model showed that the learning and memory functions of mice in the model group were significantly lower than those in the control group.Meanwhile, the levels of apoptosis and oxidative stress in the model group were significantly higher than those in the control group.In the hippocampal neuron model of D-gal, the neurons showed a dose-dependent morphologic and functional change with the increase of D-gal dose and the levels of apoptosis and oxidative stress were significantly higher than those in the negative control.Conclusion D-galactose can be successfully used to induce cognitive impairment models both in vivo and in vitro through the decrease of the learning and memory functions of mice and induction of apoptosis and oxidative stress in neurons.Combined application of the two models of D-gal can be one of effective and promising tools for the study of cognitive impairment and pharmacodynamic evaluation.

The L3 type of lesion was present in 49.6% and the B1 and B2 types for 51.8% and 48.2% respectively; complex anal fistula was diagnosed in 90.6%. Symptoms of diarrhea were found in 46% and perianal lesions alone in 29.5% of patients. Abnormal BMI values was present in 44.6%; active CD activity index in 64.7%; and 94.2% had active perianal disease activity index. A proportion of patients manifest abnormal C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, platelet, hemoglobin and albumin. Conclusion: We suggest that patients with anal fistula associated to these clinical features should alert the medical team to the possibility of CD, which should be further investigated through endoscopy and imaging examination of alimentary tract to avoid the damage of anal function by routine anal fistula surgery.

RESUMO Racional: As características clínicas são fundamentais para melhorar a identificação e o tratamento da doença de Crohn (DC), de modo que a análise da amostra seja de grande valor. Objetivo: Explorar as características clínicas da DC fistulizante perianal. Métodos: Análise de 139 casos focados em seus dados clínicos. Resultados: A proporção de homens e mulheres foi de 3,3: 1; a média de idade de 28,2 anos; 47,5% dos pacientes tiveram fístula anal antes do diagnóstico de DC. Pacientes com cirurgia perianal prévia e medicação representaram 64,7% e 74,1%, respectivamente. O tipo de lesão L3 estava presente em 49,6% e os tipos B1 e B2, em 51,8% e 48,2%, respectivamente; fístula anal complexa foi diagnosticada em 90,6%. Sintomas de diarréia foram encontrados em 46% e lesões perianais isoladas em 29,5% dos pacientes. Valores anormais de IMC estavam presentes em 44,6%; índice de atividade DC ativa em 64,7%; e 94,2% tinham índice de atividade de doença perianal ativo. Proporção significativa de pacientes tinha proteína-C reativa, taxa de sedimenta do eritrócito, plaquetas hemoglobina e albumina anormais. Conclusão: Sugere-se que pacientes com fístula anal associada às essas características clínicas alertem a equipe médica para a possibilidade de DC, que deve ser investigada por endoscopia e exame de imagem do trato digestivo para evitar dano na função anal pela operação que rotineiramente é realizada no tratamento da fístula anal.

Toxicity study of three roots granule medicine / Монголын эм зүй, эм судлал

Purpose@#To study the effect of Three roots granule medicine with compound medicines ingredient of Asparagus cohinchinensis, Polygonatum odoratum and Polygonatum sibiricum on acute toxicity test and genotoxicity tests. @*Methods@#In toxicity study of Three roots granule medicine, by acute toxicity test were observed general status of animals, body weight changes, signs of poisoning and death for 14 day and determined the maximum tolerated dose, by Ames test, mouse bone marrow polychromatic erythrocyte micronucleus test and mouse sperm deformity test were determined genotoxicity effect. The data were analyzed through SPSS 19.0.@*Results and Conclusions@#In the result of toxicity study, three roots granule medicine was MTD>15g/kg, no acute toxic activity, did not induce mutagenic effect in Ames test and was negative in mouse bone marrow polychromatic erythrocyte micronucleus test and mouse sperm deformity test. Three roots granule medicine has no acute toxicity effect, no genotoxicity effect and safety. We as regard as in future can continuously study to the other pharmacology study of three roots granule medicine.
