The efficacy and safety of intravenous sucrose iron therapy for recurrent iron deficiency anemia / 中华血液学杂志

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron supplementation in patients with recurrent iron deficiency anemia (IDA) . Methods: This retrospective analysis of 90 patients with recurrent IDA from May 2012 to December 2021 was conducted, comparing the efficacy and safety of the intravenous iron therapy group and the oral iron therapy group. Results: Among the 90 patients with recurrent IDA, 20 were males and 70 were females, with a median age of 40 (range: 14-85) years. A total of 60 patients received intravenous iron supplementation and 30 received oral iron supplementation. The hematologic response rates in the intravenous iron group were significantly higher than those in the oral iron group at 4 and 8 weeks after treatment [80.0% (48/60) vs 3.3% (1/30) and 96.7% (58/60) vs 46.7% (14/30), all P<0.001, respectively]. The median increase in hemoglobin levels was also significantly higher in the intravenous iron group than in the oral iron group [38 (4, 66) g/L vs 7 (1, 22) g/L at week 4 and 44.5 (18, 80) g/L vs 19 (3, 53) g/L at week 8, all P<0.001]. The intravenous iron group had a significantly higher proportion of patients who achieved normal hemoglobin levels than the oral iron group (55.0% vs 0 and 90% vs 43.3%, all P<0.001, respectively). Iron metabolism indicators were tested before and after 8 weeks of treatment in 26 and 7 patients in the intravenous and oral iron groups, respectively. The median increase in serum ferritin (SF) levels in the intravenous iron group 8 weeks after treatment was 113.7 (49.7, 413.5) μg/L, and 54% (14/26) of these patients had SF levels of ≥100 μg/L, which was significantly higher than the median increase in SF levels in the oral iron group [14.0 (5.8, 84.2) μg/L, t=4.760, P<0.001] and the proportion of patients with SF levels of ≥100 μg/L (P=0.013). The incidence of adverse reactions was 3.3% (2/60) in the intravenous iron group, which was significantly lower than that in the oral iron group [20.0% (6/30), P=0.015]. Conclusion: Intravenous iron supplementation is more effective for hematologic response, faster hemoglobin increase, and higher iron storage replenishment rates compared with oral iron supplementation in patients with recurrent IDA, and it is well tolerated by patients.

Occupational health literacy level and its influencing factors among key populations in China in 2022 / 中国职业医学

Objective To analyze the level of occupational health literacy (OHL) and its influencing factors among key populations in China. Methods The front-line workers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in China were selected as the research subjects using a combination of stratified cluster random sampling and probability proportional sampling. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations was used to investigate the OHL level. Results In 2022, a total of 340 506 people from 23 industries were surveyed. Among them, 168 455 and 172 051 people were surveyed in the secondary and tertiary industries, respectively. The OHL level of the research subjects was 52.6%. The OHL levels of workers in the secondary and tertiary industries were 56.5% and 48.9%, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, marital status, educational level, household registration, monthly income, employment nature, years of service and industry category were independent influencing factors for OHL level of the research subjects (all P<0.01). Specifically, females had a higher OHL level than males (P<0.01); the older the age, the higher the education level, the higher the monthly income level, the higher the OHL level (all P<0.01); the level of OHL in unmarried people was higher than that in married people (P<0.01); the OHL level of workers with non-agricultural household registration was higher than that of workers with agricultural household registration (P<0.01); the OHL levels of workers in state-owned enterprises, foreign-funded enterprises and public institutions were higher than those in private enterprises (all P<0.01); the level of OHL in the group with 21.0-43.0 years of service was lower than that in the other years of service groups (all P<0.01); the OHL level of workers in the secondary industry was higher than that in the tertiary industry (P<0.01). Conclusion The workers in the key industries selected by the tertiary industry, the private enterprises in the secondary industry, those with more than 21.0 years of service, and the disadvantaged groups with younger age low income, low education level, and the agricultural household registration are the key groups for the improvement of OHL level in the future. Appropriate intervention methods and strategies should be actively explored to improve the OHL of these key populations.

Impact of Smoke-Free Legislation on Acute Myocardial Infarction and Subtypes of Stroke Incidence in Shenzhen, China, 2012-2016: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

OBJECTIVE@#This study assesses the impact of smoke-free legislation on the incidence rate for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke in Shenzhen.@*METHODS@#Data on ischemic ( n = 72,945) and hemorrhagic ( n = 18,659) stroke and AMI ( n = 17,431) incidence covering about 12 million people in Shenzhen from 2012 to 2016 were used. Immediate and gradual changes in incidence rates were analyzed using segmented Poisson regression.@*RESULTS@#Following the smoke-free legislation, a 9% (95% CI: 3%-15%) immediate reduction was observed in AMI incidence, especially in men (8%, 95% CI: 1%-14%) and in those aged 65 years and older (17%, 95% CI: 9%-25%). The gradual annual benefits were observed only in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke incidence, with a 7% (95% CI: 2%-11%) and 6% (95% CI: 4%-8%) decrease per year, respectively. This health effect extended gradually to the 50-64 age group. In addition, neither the immediate nor gradual decrease in stroke and AMI incidence rates did not show statistical significance among the 35-49 age group ( P > 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Smoke-free legislation was enforced well in Shenzhen, which would generate good experiences for other cities to enact and enforce smoke-free laws. This study also provided more evidence of the health benefits of smoke-free laws on stroke and AMI.

The Association between Exposure to Second-Hand Smoke and Disease in the Chinese Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the association between exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) and 23 diseases, categorized into four classifications, among the Chinese population.@*METHODS@#We searched the literature up to June 30, 2021, and eligible studies were identified according to the PECOS format: Participants and Competitors (Chinese population), Exposure (SHS), Outcomes (Disease or Death), and Study design (Case-control or Cohort).@*RESULTS@#In total, 53 studies were selected. The odds ratio (OR) for all types of cancer was 1.79 (1.56-2.05), and for individual cancers was 1.92 (1.42-2.59) for lung cancer, 1.57 (1.40-1.76) for breast cancer, 1.52 (1.12-2.05) for bladder cancer, and 1.37 (1.08-1.73) for liver cancer. The OR for circulatory system diseases was 1.92 (1.29-2.85), with a value of 2.29 (1.26-4.159) for stroke. The OR of respiratory system diseases was 1.76 (1.13-2.74), with a value of 1.82 (1.07-3.11) for childhood asthma. The original ORs were also shown for other diseases. Subgroup analyses were performed for lung and breast cancer. The ORs varied according to time period and were significant during exposure in the household; For lung cancer, the OR was significant in women.@*CONCLUSION@#The effect of SHS exposure in China was similar to that in Western countries, but its definition and characterization require further clarification. Studies on the association between SHS exposure and certain diseases with high incidence rates are insufficient.

Progress in research on redistribution methods for garbage codes in causes of death data / 中华流行病学杂志

The existence of garbage codes in death cause surveillance data sets could influence the accuracy of the death cause statistics, and subsequently affect the precision and effectiveness of public health policy making. International and domestic researchers have studied the characteristics of garbage codes in various death cause data sets from different countries or regions in the world. They proposed several approaches for redistributing garbage codes, such as expert consultancy, fixed proportional reassignment, using the information about death cause chain, building statistical models, and so on. This paper summarizes and compares the principles, applications and limitation of application scenarios of currently common methods for garbage code redistribution in order to provide some references for improving the accuracy and usefulness of the death cause data in China.

Standard operation procedure of real-world data management: syphilis data as an example / 中华医院管理杂志

Clinical data is one of the key sources of real-world data, while the reliability of such data is often hindered by unscientific and irregular data management. Based on various problems found in the application of clinical data to scientific research, this study formulated a standard operation procedure(SOP) for real-world data management, and organized the data in terms of content and logic consistency, completeness and standardization. The clinical data of syphilis at a tertiary hospital were used as an example for verification. The clinical data of syphilis patients in the dermatology department from January 1, 2008 to January 1, 2018 were derived from the basic information database, diagnosis database, laboratory information database, and treatment information database of its hospital information system, and a total of 71 705 pieces of relevant information were extracted. SOP analysis showed that 6 816 articles were completely repeated. There were content or logical inconsistencies in name, medical identification number, resident ID number, age and gender, being 152, 360, 88, 107 and 457 respectively. There were many missing entries for marital status, ethnicity, gender, birthday, and ID number, being 1 711, 1 077, 457, 496 and 355 respectively. The standardization situation was generally good, and the number of irregularities in filling out occupational items was 1 884. The standardized and collated data could effectively count the proportion of patients in different stages of syphilis and the cost of diagnosis and treatment, indicating that the real-world data management and analysis SOP proposed in this study could be used to build a clinical-research oriented dual-functional database based on medical practice data.

Effect of Early Weight-bearing on Appropriate Population with Intertrochanteric Fracture after Surgery / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To observe the effect of early weight-bearing on the appropriate population with intertrochanteric fracture after surgery. Methods:From April, 2017 to December, 2018, a total of 45 patients with Evans-Jensen type II intertrochanteric fracture and fracture reduction as positive medial cortex support (PMCS) after proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) fixation were randomly divided into control group (n = 22) and experimental group (n = 23). Weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT) was initiated from six weeks after surgery in the control group, and within 48 h after surgery in the experimental group. The frequency of WBAT in two groups increased gradually from three times a day for ten minutes a time to five times a day for 20 minutes a time until clinical healing of fracture. The length of stay, hospital cost, the fracture healing time and the complication incidence were compared between two groups, as well as the scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Harris Hip Score at six weeks, three months and six months after surgery. Results:Compared with the control group, the length of stay was shorter (t = 3.716, P < 0.01), the hospital cost was lower, but no significant difference was found (t = 1.540, P > 0.05), and the fracture healing time was shorter (t = 6.248, P < 0.001) in the experimental group. The complication incidence was lower in the experimental group, but there was no significant difference (χ2= 2.198, P > 0.05). Six weeks, three months and six months after surgery, there was no significant difference in the score of VAS between two groups (t < 1.330, P > 0.05). The score of Harris Hip Score was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group six weeks after surgery (t = -5.115, P < 0.001), however, no significant difference was found in other time points (|t| < 1.799, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Early weight-bearing within 48 h after PFNA fixation for Evans-Jensen type II intertrochanteric fractures and reduction with PMCS could shorten the length of stay, shorten the bony healing time and promote early recovery of hip function.

Effect of Huai Qi Huang on asthma in rats and the mechanism research / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To study the role and mechanism of action of Huai Qi Huang (HQH) in the rat model of asthma.@*METHODS@#Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, an asthma model group, a budesonide group, and an HQH group, with 10 rats in each group. A rat model of asthma was established by ovalbumin sensitization and challenge. The budesonide group was given budesonide aerosol 2 mg before each challenge. The HQH group was given HQH 4 g/kg dissolved in water by gavage before each challenge. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissues. The percentage of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the levels of interleukin-3 (IL-3), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-5 (IL-5), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon gamma (INF-γ), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in BALF. Flow cytometry was used to determine T-helper type 1 (Th1)/T-helper type 2 (Th2) ratio in peripheral blood and the spleen. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of T-bet and GATA-3 in lung tissue.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the control group, the asthma model group showed significant increases in the degree of airway inflammation, the percentage of eosinophils in BALF, and the levels of IL-3, IL-4, IL-5 and IgE in BALF (P<0.05), however, the asthma model group showed significant reductions in the levels of IL-10 and INF-γ in BALF (P<0.05). The asthma model group had significantly lower percentage of Th1 cells but significantly higher percentage of Th2 cells in peripheral blood and the spleen compared with the control group (P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of T-bet in lung tissue was significantly lower, but the mRNA and protein expression of GATA-3 in lung tissue was significantly higher in the asthma group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Both HQH and budesonide significantly improved airway inflammation and the above markers in asthmatic rats (P<0.05), with comparable effects between them. However, there were still significant differences in these indices between the control group and the HQH or budesonide group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#HQH can reduce the airway inflammation of asthmatic rats and alleviate the symptoms of asthma, possibly by regulating the levels of related cytokines and Th1/Th2 ratio through the T-bet/GATA-3 pathway.

Is the Mortality Trend of Ischemic Heart Disease by the GBD2013 Study in China Real? / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

To determine the reason for the different mortality trends of ischemic heart disease (IHD) for China between Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2010 and GBD2013, and to improve garbage code (GC) redistribution. All data were obtained from the disease surveillance points system, and two proportions for assigning chronic pulmonary heart disease (PHD) as GC to IHD were from GBD2010 and GBD2013, which were different for years before 2004. By using the GBD2013 approach, the age-standard mortality rate (ASMR) increased by 100.21% in 1991, 44.81% in 1996, and 42.47% in 2000 in comparison with the GBD2010 approach. The different methods of chronic PHD redistribution impacted the trend of IHD mortality, which elevated it in the earlier 1990s by using the GBD2013 approach. Thus, improving the redistribution of GC as a key step in mortality statistics is important.

Review on the evaluation research of the effects of smoke-free legislations on cardiovascular diseases / 中华预防医学杂志

A substantial amount of data suggested that exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) could cause cardiovascular diseases and acute coronary events in nonsmoking adults. In order to protect the public from SHS, more and more countries and regions across the world have enacted and implemented smoke-free legislations. Developed countries, such as USA, Canada, the Great Britain, Ireland, Italy and Spain, have carried out many studies to analyze the effects of smoke-free legislations on the hospital admission, incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases with the purpose of confirming the health benefits of the smoking ban and promoting the conduct of the ban. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),WANFANG databaseto summarize the study designs, evaluating indicators, statistical methods and results of these studies to provide reference for evaluating smoke-free legislations in inland cities in China.

The process was quick and smooth.Nobody was died or rescued within 1 h after transport. Conclusions The main differences of intra-hospital transport between H7N9 avian influenza patients and general critically ill patients are the transit time control, the particularity of terminal disposal, transshipment arrangement and hospital infection management personnel involved in the whole process.

Role of Liquid-based Cytology and Cell Block in the Diagnosis of Endometrial Lesions / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Liquid-based cytology (LBC) offers an alternative method to biopsy in screening endometrial cancer. Cell block (CB), prepared by collecting residual cytological specimen, represents a novel method to supplement the diagnosis of endometrial cytology. This study aimed to compare the specimen adequacy and diagnostic accuracy of LBC and CB in the diagnosis of endometrial lesions.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 198 women with high risks of endometrial carcinoma (EC) from May 2014 to April 2015 were enrolled in this study. The cytological specimens were collected by the endometrial sampler (SAP-1) followed by histopathologic evaluation of dilatation and curettage or biopsy guided by hysteroscopy. The residual cytological specimens were processed into paraffin-embedded CB after LBC preparation. Diagnostic accuracies of LBC and CB for detecting endometrial lesions were correlated with histological diagnoses. Chi-square test was used to compare the specimen adequacies of LBC and CB.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The specimen inadequate rate of CB was significantly higher than that of LBC (22.2% versus 7.1%, P < 0.01). There were 144 cases with adequate specimens for LBC and CB preparation. Among them, 29 cases were atypical endometrial hyperplasia (11 cases) or carcinoma (18 cases) confirmed by histology evaluation. Taking atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma as positive, the diagnostic accuracy of CB was 95.1% while it was 93.8% in LBC. When combined LBC with CB, the diagnostic accuracy was improved to 95.8%, with a sensitivity of 89.7% and specificity of 97.4%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CB is a feasible and reproducible adjuvant method for screening endometrial lesions. A combination of CB and LBC can improve the diagnostic accuracy of endometrial lesions.</p>

Objective To explore the effect of diabetic liaison nurses on controlling blood sugar levels in patients with hyperglycemia in department other than endocrinology. Methods Four hundred diabetic patients with high blood sugar were selected from January to December, 2014 in department other than endocrinology. They were divided randomly into 2 groups equally:the control group and the observation group. The control group received traditional nursing care, while blood sugar management was carried out by diabetic liaison nurse in the observation group. Result Pre-discharge sugar metabolism in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The diabetic liaison nurses in other departments than the endocrinology department can help control blood sugar levels in patients with hyperglycemiain.

Effects and the mechanism of manumycin on KAT-18 anaplastic thyroid cancer cells / 实用医学杂志

Objective To explore the effects and the mechanism of manumycin on KAT-18 cells Methods Human ATC (anaplastic thyroid cancer) KAT-18 cells were used. The cytotoxicity was analyzed by SRB assay. Apoptosis and cellular nitric oxide were detected by flow cytometry using annexin v and NO sensor dye. Superoxide anion was measured with a fluorescent plate reader by DHE.GSH was assayed by fluorescent Monochlorobimane. The SOD activities were assayed by colorimetric methods. The protein expression of Mn-SOD was determined by western blot. Results Manumycin decreased the viability of KAT-18 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Manumycin induced apoptosis significantly and NO generation simultaneously. Manumycin also induced superoxide anions generation. Manumycin reduced intracellular GSH in a time-course manner. However , manumycin did not decrease the SOD activity after 6 h treatment and Mn-SOD expression. A delayed induction of SOD activity was observed after 24 h manumycin treatment. N-acetyl-L-cysteine blocked NO and superoxide anions generation and apoptosis induction by Manumycin. Furthermore , NAC protected KAT-18 cells from the cytotoxicity of manumycin. Conclusion Manumycin induces apoptosis and has cytotoxic effects on KAT-18 cells. Cellular NO and superoxide anions generation are required for Manumycin-induced apoptosis in KAT-18 cells.

Spatial distribution of liver cancer incidence in shenqiu county, henan province, china: a spatial analysis / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

Liver cancer is a common and leading cause of cancer death in China. We used the cancer registry data collected from 2009 to 2011 to describe the spatial distribution of liver cancer incidence at village level in Shengqiu county, Henan province, China. Spatial autocorrelation analysis was employed to detect significant differences from a random spatial distribution of liver cancer incidence. Spatial scan statistics were used to detect and evaluate the clusters of liver cancer cases. Spatial clusters were mapped using ArcGIS 10.0 software in order to identify their physical location at village level. High cluster areas of liver cancer incidence were observed in 26 villages of 7 towns and low cluster areas were observed in 16 villages of 4 towns. High cluster areas of liver cancer incidence were distributed along the Sha Ying River which is the largest of tributary of the Huai River. Role of water pollution in Shenqiu County where the high cluster was found deserves further investigation.
