OBJECTIVETo analyze and summarize the characteristics and treatment of acute spinal cord decompression sickness. To explore the factors that influence the treatment effect.

METHODS77 cases of acute spinal cord decompression sickness patients should be divided into 4 groups according to the pressurized treatment and drug treatment options. They were group I, group II, group III and group IV. At the same time they were get hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other treatment. The evaluation index, were Frankel function classification and paraplegia index. There were 17 factors that affected the treatment effect.

RESULTSThe rate of early cure was 57.14% (44/77). The rate of late cure was 74.03% (57/77). Their difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In 3 months and 1 year the cure rate of group IV and group B were the highest. But there was no difference between them(P>0.05). They were higher than group ii and group I (P<0.05). The Frankel function classification in 3months and 1 year in each group was higher than before treatment (P<0.05). The paraplegia index in 3 months and 1 year in each group was lower than before treatment (P<0.05). In 3 months and 1 year the Frankel function classification was increased gradually and the paraplegia index was decreased gradually in group I , group II, group III (P<0.05). In group IV and group III the Frankel function and the paraplegia index had not significant difference (P>0.05). Among the 17 factors that affect the treatment effect there are 9 factors that affect the proportion of the large.

CONCLUSIONSThe first choice of treatment method for the patients with acute spinal cord decompression sickness would be group III. Drug therapy was also imporpant. At the same time the hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other treatments were taken. Although the cure rate was not high in this article. But most of the cure is within 3 months. Within 1 year.the cure rate still could be improved. 9 factors that affect the efficacy of acute spinal cord decompression sickness was more noteworthy.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of needling Danzhong(CV 17) in the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia and provide clinical evidence for indications of the point. Methods: A multi-centre single-blind randomized controlled trial was carried out. Two hundred and seventy-six puerperal women with postpartum hypogalactia were randomly allocated into acupuncture group and herb group, and respectively treated for three consecutive days. The degree of mammary fullness, the amount of milk secreted, prolactin, baby weight, the frequency and volume of artificial feeding, the number of infant urination events, and the duration of baby crying were observed. The clinical curative effects on postpartum hypogalactia were compared. Results: Hypogalactia was effectively treated in both acupuncture and herb groups. There were statistically significant differences in degree of mammary fullness, amount of milk secreted, baby weight, the frequency and amount of artificial feeding, and the number of infant urination events between pretreatment and post-treatment, but no difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference in prolactin in the acupuncture group and there was a difference in prolactin in the herb group between pretreatment and posttreatment. Conclusion: Needling Danzhong(CV 17) can effectively promote lactation.

Objective: To explore the association between light intensity physical activity (LPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition, so as to provide data references for improving adolescent physical health. Methods: From August 2020 to January 2021, general information of 694 students in grade one of a high school in Foshan City was collected, and the 24 hour activity behavior and body composition of the students were measured objectively by triaxial accelerometer and bioelectrical impedance tester. Dual component multivariate regression and dual compositional isotemporal substitution model were used to explore the relationship between LPA and SB and body composition. Results: LPA was associated with lower fat relative dominance (FRD) (male weekends FRD=-21.44%, female weekly FRD=-17.83%, weekdays FRD=-18.27%, P <0.05), and LPA was also associated with higher muscle relative dominance (MRD) and bone relative dominance (BRD) (male weekends MRD=12.78%, BRD= 12.87 %; female weekly MRD=11.64%, BRD=9.01%; female weekdays MRD=12.02%, BRD=9.23%, P <0.05). Replacing sedentary behavior (SB) with 10 minutes of LPA could reduce fat proportion [male:weekly -0.15(-0.26--0.04), weekdays -0.12 (-0.22--0.02); female:weekly -0.18(-0.27--0.08), weekdays -0.16(-0.25--0.07)) and increase muscle proportion (male:weekly 0.14(0.03-0.24), weekdays 0.11(0.02-0.21); female:weekly 0.17(0.07-0.26), weekdays 0.15(0.07-0.24)]. Conclusion Interrupting continuous SB with LPA can serve as an intervention measure to promote physical health and fitness in adolescents. School should encourage students to engage in frequent LPA during breaks and after school activities, while avoiding prolonged SB.

Objective: To investigate the smartphone addiction among college students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its association with daily behaviors and mental health,and to provide reference for heath education and psychological counseling for college students. Methods: An observational study using online quyestionnaire was conducted among 10 357 college students of two provincial medical schools in Guangdong and Shanxi Province from February 24th to March 4th in 2020. Participants were investigated on demographic information, smartphone addiction, daily routine, physical activity, weight status, anxiety, and other health information. Logistic regression with inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to analyze the association between smartphone addiction with daily behavior and mental health. Results: The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 59.42%. The prevalence of phone addiction was higher in postgraduates, senior undergraduates, students with non-medical major, students living in GuangDong and those without regular exercise habit before vacation(χ 2=47.91，17.78，42.75，138.58，P<0.05). With IPTW, there were significant associations between smartphone addiction and late bedtimes (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.66-1.98) and wake-up times (OR=1.55, 95%CI=1.44-1.68), more sedentary behaviors (OR=1.21, 95%CI=1.12-1.31), less moderate to vigorous physical activity (OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.22-1.44), anxiety (OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.52-3.40), weight gain(OR=1.27，95%CI=1.17-1.37) and other detrimental daily behavior and feelings. Conclusion High prevalence of smartphone addiction has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with impaired daily behavior and mental health.

Objective: To explore the characteristics of thrombelastogaphy (TEG) in term neonates, and to evaluate their correlation with traditional coagulation tests. Methods: A total of 52 term neonates were enrolled as neonatal group and 34 adults undergoing elective surgery as adult control group in Jiangmen Central Hospital from January to December 2017.TEG, plasma coagulation test and platelet counts (PLT) were performed and the corresponding ana-lysis was conducted. Results: TEG parameters in term neonates: response time(R)(4.18±1.08)min, clot kinetics(K)(1.21±0.45) min, α angle (Angle)(73.08±5.74)°, maximum amplitude(MA)(65.68±7.13)mm.Compared with adult control group, neonatal group exhibited shorter R and K(t=3.764, P<0.001; t=4.888, P<0.001), higher Angle, MA(t=5.539, P<0.001; t=2.873, P=0.001). In traditional coagulation, compared with adult control group, neonatal group showed longer prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), thrombin time(TT) (t=5.449, P<0.001; t=13.134, P<0.001; t=3.575, P=0.001), lower fibrinogen(Fib) (t=4.164, P<0.001), and higher PLT (t=4.230, P<0.001). In addition, K was negatively correlated with Fib(r=-0.374, P=0.004), while Angle and MA were positively correlated with Fib(r=0.354, P=0.007; r=0.630, P<0.001); K was negatively correlated with PLT(r=-0.430, P=0.001), but Angle and MA were positively correlated with PLT (r=0.427, P=0.001; r=0.586, P<0.001); K was positively correlated with APTT(r=0.285, P=0.035), and MA was negatively correlated with APTT(r=-0.324, P=0.017). There was no significant correlation between R and traditional coagulation test.K, MA and Angle were not significantly correlated with PT (all P>0.05), and Angle and APTT were not significantly correlated (all P>0.05). Conclusions The reference interval of TEG in term neonates is different from adults.And the parameters of TEG in term neonates are partly related to the traditional coagulation tests.

Objective: To prepare strains of influenza A (H7N9) pseudovirus derived from different districts of China for vaccine efficacy evaluation. Methods: Phylogenetic tree was built based on hemagglutinin (HA) amino acid sequence analyses from 29 influenza A (H7N9) virus strains and 6 influenza A (H7N9) virus strains with HA determinants variation were selected. 293FT cells were co-transfected with plasmid pNL4-3-Luc.R-E-, pVRC-HA and pVRC-NA with codon-optimized hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) derived from the six influenza A (H7N9) virus strains, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy assay and Western blot analysis were performed to demonstrate morphology and specificity of these particles, luciferase activity assay and hemagglutinin titers detection were used to determine their infectivity and hemagglutinin activity. And finally, pseudovirus-based neutralization assays were evaluated with HA immunized mice serum. Results: Six influenza A (H7N9) peseudovirus particles derived from different districts of China were selected and prepared. All of the particles bearing HA and NA were characterized with classic influenza virus morphology, with TCID₅₀ titer ranged from 10⁴TCID₅₀/50 μl to 10⁵TCID₅₀/50 μl and with hemagglutinin activity ranged from 64 to 512. Neutralization efficacies on influenza A/Shanghai/1/2013(H7N9) HA vaccine serum against 100TCID₅₀ dose of these pseudovirus particles indicated their potential application in the vaccine cross-protective evaluation in future. Conclusions Six influenza A (H7N9) pseudovirus derived from different districts of China with potential antigenic variation on HA were constructed successfully, established foundation for their further application in vaccine cross-reactive efficacy evaluation.

The newly emerged Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a highly pathogenic respiratory virus with pathogenic mechanisms that may be driven by innate immune pathways. The goal of this study is to characterize the expression of the structural (S, E, M, N) and accessory (ORF 3, ORF 4a, ORF 4b, ORF 5) proteins of MERS-CoV and to determine whether any of these proteins acts as an interferon antagonist. Individual structural and accessory protein-coding plasmids with an N-terminal HA tag were constructed and transiently transfected into cells, and their native expression and subcellular localization were assessed using Wes tern blotting and indirect immunofluorescence. While ORF 4b demonstrated majorly nuclear localization, all of the other proteins demonstrated cytoplasmic localization. In addition, for the first time, our experiments revealed that the M, ORF 4a, ORF 4b, and ORF 5 proteins are potent interferon antagonists. Further examination revealed that the ORF 4a protein of MERS-CoV has the most potential to counteract the antiviral effects of IFN via the inhibition of both the interferon production (IFN-β promoter activity, IRF-3/7 and NF-κB activation) and ISRE promoter element signaling pathways. Together, our results provide new insights into the function and pathogenic role of the structural and accessory proteins of MERS-CoV.
