Objective To investigate and evaluate the correlation between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and gestational hypertension and preeclampsia of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP).Methods Fifty cases with HDCP and 46 cases with mild and 83 cases with sever stage preeclampsia were selected as our subjects.And 33 cases with regular pregnancy and 31 with irregular pregnancy were served as control group.Plasma brain natriuretic peptide,urinary protein quantity(UBQ),24-hour urinary protein assay (UPA) were measured.The correlations of brain natriuretic peptide and UBQ,UPA,systolic pressure (SP),diastolic pressure (DP) were analyzed.Results The levels of brain natriuretic peptide in the group with gestational hypertension and mild,severe preeclampsia groups were (48.54± 18.27),(79.46± 32.18) and (292.24±213.08) ng/L,higher than that in normal pregnancy and non pregnant group ((27.84± 14.58) and (20.63± 8.28) n/L;F =49.583,P<0.05).While no significant difference exists between normal pregnancy group and non pregnant group.Grouped on the median values (199) of brain natriuretic peptide of the severe preeclampsia group,the levels of 24-hour UPA,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were (5.46±2.68) g,(174.55± 13.58) mmHg,(113.74±9.91) mmHg in patients with brain natriuretic peptide ≥ 199 ng/L(n=42),significant higher than those in patients with brain natriuretic peptide < 199 ng/L(n =41;(4.34± 1.95)g,(165.31±11.12) mmHg,(106.05±8.02) mmHg;t=2.603,3.396,2.308;P=>0.010,0.001,0.024).The levels of 24-hour UPA,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of patients with brain natriuretic peptide ≥ 86ng/L(n=20) in mild preeclampsia were (1.68±0.27) g,(163.69±8.29) mmHg,(105.45±6.71) mmHg,significant higher than those in patients with brain natriuretic peptide < 86 ng/L (n =26;(1.16 ± 0.31) g,(152.90±7.32) mmHg,(99.19 ± 5.25) mmHg;t =3.180,2.508,2.32;P =0.010,0.016,0.025).Brain natriuretic peptide was closely correlated with UPA,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) (r =0.29,0.30;P < 0.01).Brain natriuretic peptide was closely correlated with UPA systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in mild preeclampsia (r =0.39,0.37,0.40;P <0.01).And correlation efficacy of brain natriuretic peptide with UPA,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were 0.44,0.42 and 0.53 (P<0.01).Conclusion The level of brain natriuretic peptide is closely associated with the severity of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.Correlation of brain natriuretic peptide to the severity of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia is independent of urinary protein and hypertension.Brain natriuretic peptide is an important indicator for the severity of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.

Objective An 80 years old man,suffered from cardiopulmonary arrest during swimming.After successfully cardiopulmonary resuscitation,he was sent to a hospital.After examination and inspection,he was diagnosed as cardiopulmonary arrest,aspiration pneumonia,hyperlipidemia,high level of creatine kinase.We prescribed a statin for the hyperlipidemia,but the level of creatine kinase was higher and higher.Finally he was diagnosed as hypothyroidism and lung cancer.We considered that severe weakness may be the reason of cardiopulmonary arrest in swimming pool.

Objective:
To study the epidemiological characteristics of tsutsugamushi disease, and to confirm the existence of the disease's epidemic foci in Taizhou.
Methods:
From 2013 to 2014, Dongxing town hospital and Xingqiao town hospital were selected as specimen collection sites in Jingjiang city. Blood samples (5 ml) were collected from 40 patients with acute tsutsugamushi disease. A total of 59 rodents were captured with cage night method in the survey sites at 5, 7, 9, 10, and 11 months in 2013, from which, the spleen, liver, and kidney specimens were selected. Chigger mites were captured by small blackboard method and from the ears of the captured rodents. A total of 226 small blackboards were laid, 27 mites were captured, and the samples were grounded into suspension. Nested-polymerase chain reaction and cell and tissue culture techniques were used to test the specimen from the probable patients, host animals and chigger mites.
Results:
Among the 40 acute tsutsugamushi disease blood samples, 29 were found to meet the test requirements, 17 were positive for orientia tsutsugamushi nucleic acid with 59% of the positive rate, and 1 stran orientia tsutsugamushi was isolated. 59 rats were captured and the density of mice was 5.5%. Among them, there were 26 Mus musculus (2.4%), 18 Rattus flavipectus (1.7%) and 15 Smelly shrew (density 1.4%). 1 Smelly shrew was tested positive for orientia tsutsugamushi nucleic acid, and the negative results were found in the other rodent specimens. 27 Chigge mites were collected by small blackboard method and the density of mites was 0.12 for each blackboard, among which 3 larvae and 24 nymphs were found. 33 Chigger mites were collected from the ears of 3 Smelly shrew, and the density of the mite was 11 per mouse. All the captured Chigger mites were identified as Leptotrombidium scutellare and 1 group of specimens of Chigger mites from the external environment were positive for orientia tsutsugamushi nucleic acid.
Conclusion
There was a high density of mice in the epidemic area from May to November and the species of the chigger mites were Chigger mites in Taizhou. The nucleic acid of the oriental tsutsugamushi was detected in the patients with acute scrub typhus, rodents and vectors. According to the above-mentioned results, it was considered that the scrub typhus epidemic area of Taizhou city has the natural foci of scrub typhus.

Objective To provide a reference for the selection of frailty assessment tools for stroke patients by conducting a literature review of existing frailty assessment tools for stroke patients.Methods Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed,Web of Science,EMbase,SinoMed,Wanfang,VIP,and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)databases from their inception to May 2023.The literature that met the research purpose and question were screened,and the basic in-formation of each article,including the first author,publication year,country of publication,type of research design,name of the assessment tool,dimensions of scale,the number of items,and assess-ment time,was extracted.Results A total of 1,729 articles were retrieved in this study.After multi-ple screenings,22 articles(including 8 frailty assessment tools)were ultimately included.The analy-sis results showed that the evaluation indicators,evaluation time,and evaluation methods of the 8 frail-ty assessment tools were different and had their own advantages and disadvantages.Among them,the frailty index was the most commonly used frailty assessment tool for stroke patients.The selection of ef-fective frailty assessment tools for stroke patients is essential for strengthening prestroke risk stratifica-tion and improving poststroke outcomes.Conclusion There are significant differences among different frailty assessment tools,and existing assessment tools have limitations in measuring frailty in stroke pa-tients.Comprehensive assessments should be conducted in combination with clinicians'experience and judgment.New frailty assessment tools are needed in future research to better guide the rehabilitation treatment and management of stroke patients.

During the Jin dynasty,the two major academic schools of Hejian and Yishui emerged in northern China.At this time,the Song dynasty migrated southward,accompanied by the southward movement of the Han ethnic culture and economic center.The dissemination of medicine also showed a trend of spreading from the north to the south.The late Yuan dynasty was an important period for the academic dissemination of the Yishui school to the south.On the one hand,ZHU Danxi,GE Yinglei,HUA Shou,and other clinicians studied the academic works of LI Dongyuan,comprehended his academic ideas,and further disseminated them through their disciples and Confucian scholars.On the other hand,academic works such as Jisheng Bacui and Weisheng Baojian carrying the study of Yishui were published in the south,playing an essential role in disseminating Yishui's study in the south.The dissemination of Yishui's learning to the south adopted a combination of book learning and mentorship,effectively breaking down the academic barriers between the Hejian and Yishui schools.The network formed by the interaction between medical scholars and Confucian scholars was an essential medium for academic dissemination.The study of Yishui was transmitted to the south and integrated with the original spleen and stomach theory in the south,promoting the further development of traditional Chinese medicine spleen and stomach theory.
