OBJECTIVE To study the influencing factors for proteinuria in patients with malignant tumors treated with apatinib， then establish and evaluate a risk prediction model based on it. METHODS A total of 120 patients with malignant tumors treated with apatinib in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the training set， and the clinical data was collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to identify independent risk factors for proteinuria associated with apatinib and then construct a risk prediction model. The predictive value of the model was evaluated by using the receiver operator characteristic （ROC） curve. A total of 34 patients with malignant tumors treated with apatinib from January to December 2023 in our hospital were selected as the validation set， and their clinical data were obtained to cross-validate the accuracy of the prediction model. RESULTS The incidence of proteinuria in the training set of 120 patients was 26.67%. The proportions of patients with smoking history， combined hypertension， apatinib daily dose of ≥500 mg， and alanine aminotransferase level were significantly higher in proteinuria group than those in non-proteinuria group. At the same time，the neutrophilic granulocyte count was significantly lower than that in non-proteinuria group （P＜0.05）. Patients with smoking history and combined hypertension were the independent risk factors for apatinib-induced proteinuria （odds ratios were 5.005 and 5.342， respectively； with 95% confidence intervals of 1.806- 13.872 and 1.227-9.602， respectively； P＜0.05）. The binary Logistic regression model equation for the probability （P） of apatinib- induced proteinuria is expressed as LogitP＝1.610XMH+1.233XSH－1.483 （MH for combined hypertension， SH for the smoking history）， with a model accuracy of 80.0%. ROC curve analysis demonstrated the area under the ROC curve of 0.771， the maximum Youden’s index of 0.474， and the optimal cut-off value for LogitP was 0.159 9， with a sensitivity of 90.6% and specificity of 56.8%. Cross-validation results indicated an overall prediction accuracy of 88.24% for the 34 patients. CONCLUSIONS Combined hypertension and smoking history are independent risk factors for apatinib-induced proteinuria. The constructed risk prediction model has moderate predictive value and can be used to predict the risk of proteinuria in patients with malignant tumors induced by apatinib.

[Objective]To evaluate the comprehensive clinical management of posttraumatic knee joint dysfunction(PKJD).[Method]From 2001 to 2005,40 patients(42 knees) with posttraumatic knee joint dysfunction were treated with conservative procedures including training of muscle strength,range of motion(ROM),proprioception or neuromuscular control,general physical condition;and surgical procedures including Thompson's procedures,improved Judet's technique,extra-articular mini-invasive quadricepsplasty + intra-articular arthrofibroticlysis,Ilizarov technique.[Result]All of the 42 cases did not receive systematic rehabilitation therapy before they came in hospital.At our center,30 of them were managed conservatively and 12 of them surgically.The average ROM of the involved knee was 0?-9.2?-58.1 at the time of admission,and 0?-4.9?-88.9? when they were discharged,the difference is significant statistically(P

Orthopaedic rehabilitation mainly focuses on the improvement and reconstruction of the musculoskeletal dysfunctions of patients with chronic diesaes and trauma of bones, joints, muscles and nervous system.

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of avian influenza viruses in the external environment of poultry in Anqing City， Anhui Province， and provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of animal-derived influenza in humans. MethodsA total of 28 farmers’ markets/farms in 10 counties （cities， districts） of Anqing City， Anhui Province， were selected as surveillance sites by simple random sampling strategy. Poultry faeces and other related samples were collected for 6 consecutive weeks. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to examine the nucleic acids of influenza A virus. Subtypes H5， H7， and H9 of avian influenza virus were further tested in the positive samples. ResultsA total of 426 specimens were collected， among which 113 tested positive with a positive rate of 26.53%. Among the positive specimens， 104 were determined to be subtype H9， accounting for 92.04%. It did not significantly differ in the positive rate between the main and non-main urban areas （χ²<0.01， P>0.05） or among the specimens collected in different weeks （χ²=7.57， P>0.05）. However， it significantly differed in the positive rate among the specimens collected in the third week and other weeks （χ²=6.89， P<0.05）. Furthermore， among the different sampling sites， farms had the highest positive rate of 46.67%. Among the specimens from different sources， the surface-coated specimens from poultry cages had the highest positive rate of 34.78%. ConclusionAvian influenza viruses are prevalent in the external environment of poultry in Anqing City. It warrants strengthening the surveillance and risk assessment to reduce the virus transmission in the external environment and risk of human infection with animal-derived influenza.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of rebamipide in the treatment of acute gout arthritis rats induced by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal. METHODS: Forty-two male rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=14). Group A was treated with oral rebamipide, group B with oral colchicine, and group C with oral placebo. The rats were monitored for the induction of arthritis with clinical manifestations and pathological changes, and the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β、IL-6、IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in serum were measured. RESULTS: In group C, the clinical score and swelling index reached the maximum in 24 h, and then gradually decreased to 72 h. After 24 h of model induced, the clinical scores in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B [2 (1-3) vs. 0 (0-1) vs. 1 (0-2), P < 0.01], the swelling indexes in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B [0.36 (0.16-0.52) vs. 0.11 (0-0.20) vs. 0.12 (0-0.16), P < 0.01]. Histologically, after 24 h of model induced, there was a large number of neutrophil infiltration in the synovium of group C [scale score: 4 (2-4)], and there was no significant inflammatory cell infiltration in group A [1 (0-2)] and group B [1 (0-2)], the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). After 24 h of model induced, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α in serum of group C were significantly higher than those in group A and B [IL-1β: (41.86±5.72) vs. (27.35±7.47) vs. (27.76±5.28) ng/L, IL-6: (1 575.55±167.11) vs. (963.53±90.22) vs. (964.08±99.31) ng/L, IL-10: (37.96±3.76) vs. (21.68±4.83) vs. (16.20±2.49) ng/L, TNF-α: (21.32±1.34) vs. (15.82±2.54) vs. (17.35±7.47) μg/L, P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION Rebamipide has a protective effect on acute gout arthritis rats induced by MUS crystals.

Objective    To evaluate the efficacy of thoracoscopic complex segmentectomy for stageⅠnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods    We retrospectively reviewed the perioperative clinical data of patients with stageⅠNSCLC who underwent thoracoscopic complex segmentectomy (n=58) or simple segmentectomy (n=33) between January 2017 and March 2020 in our hospital. There were 36 males and 55 females with a median age of 57 years (range: 50-66 years). The clinical data of the two groups were compared. Results    There were no significant differences between the two groups in characteristics including age, sex, weight, comorbidities, preoperative pulmonary function, dominant composition of tumor, tumor histology and size, overall complications, estimated blood loss, prolonged air leakage, length of hospital stay, length of drainage, surgical margin distance or number of dissected lymph nodes. Only the operation time and number of staples for making intersegmental plane were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05). There was no perioperative death in both groups. Conclusion    Thoracoscopic complex segmentectomy is a feasible and safe technique for stageⅠNSCLC.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of vericiguat in the treatment of heart failure （HF） by rapid health technology evaluation method， and provide reference for the selection and decision-making of clinical treatment plans. METHODS Chinese and foreign databases such as CNKI， PubMed and related health technology evaluation websites were searched by computer. Relevant researchers independently screened literature， extracted data， and comprehensively analyzed the results of the included literature based on literature quality evaluation. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were included， involving 12 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 5 pharmacoeconomic studies. The effectiveness analysis showed： for HF patients， compared with placebo， vericiguat （10 mg/d） significantly improved the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire （EQ-5D） index and decreased the rate of hospitalization due to HF （P＜0.05）. For heart failure with reduced ejection fraction （HFrEF） patients， vericiguat reduced the incidence of hospitalization due to HF compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor （SGLT2i）（P＜0.05）； compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor， vericiguat significantly reduced the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF（P＜0.05）. For HFrEF patients with chronic kidney disease， vericiguat had a tendency to reduce the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF compared with neurohormone inhibitors. Safety analysis showed： vericiguat did not increase drug-related adverse reactions compared to placebo （P＞0.05）. Economic analysis showed： domestic studies indicated that vericiguat had a higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. CONCLUSIONS Vericiguat has good safety and efficacy in the treatment of HF but does not possess an economic advantage in the Chinese population.

Objective To investigate the high-risk factors of stroke in Anqing area, and to analyze the value of standard treatment for the intervention of high-risk population for stroke. Methods A total of 3 062 permanent residents over 40 years of age in Anqing were surveyed by a questionnaire for the high-risk population of stroke. Physical examination was carried out for people at a high risk of stroke. The physical examination included general physical examination, laboratory tests, and carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound examination. People at a high risk of stroke were investigated on whether or not they received standardized symptomatic treatment and prevention interventions. Results Hypertension or taking antihypertensive drugs accounted for the highest risk factors of stroke in Anqing area, followed by smoking and seldom physical exercise. The abnormal rates of body mass index, blood pressure, contents of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) , homocysteine (HYC), and blood glucose (GLU), as well as intimal thickening, plaque and carotid artery stenosis in people at high risk of stroke receiving standardized treatment were significantly lower than those in people receiving no standardized treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The standard treatment was an independent factor influencing the body mass index, blood pressure, TC, TG, LDL, HDL, HYC, GLU, intimal thickening, plaque and carotid artery stenosis (P<0.05). Conclusion Hypertension accounted for the highest proportion of high-risk factors for stroke in Anqing area. Standardized symptomatic treatment can effectively control the physical indicators, laboratory test indicators and carotid artery state of stroke high-risk populations, which can play a positive role in the prevention of stroke.
