Objective To retrospectively analyze whether the kyphosis exists after removal of the internal fixators for thoracolumabar vertebrae fractures. Methods A total of 18 patients (35-68 years old) with thoracolumabar vertebrae fractures (T11-L2 ) were fixed with short segment pedical screw. The fixators were removed one year postoperatively to observe the changes of the Cobb' s angle and trauma vertebra'height. Results All the patients were followed up for 6-24 months ( average 18.7 months),which showed no intraoperative or postoperative complication, breakage or loosening of the screws. Compared to the Cobb angle and the vertebra height before removal of the internal fixators, the average loss of the Cobb angle was 0.7° and that of the vertebra height was 0.8 mm six months after removal of the fixators, 1.9° and 1.1 mm respectively one year after removal of the fixators, and 2.4° and 1.3 mm respectively two years after removal of the fixators in 16 patients without osteoporosis (P ＞0. 05). Among two patients with osteoporosis, the average loss of the Cobb angle and the vertebra height was 6° and 8°respectively and 3 mm and 5 mm respectively six months after removal of the fixators; 13° and 17° respectively and 5 mm and 7 mm respectively one year after removal of the fixators; 15° and 19° respectively and 6 mm and 7.5 mm two years after removal of the fixators. Conclusions After the internal fixation for thoracolumbar vertebrae burst fractures, kyphosis develops mildly, with insignificant change of the vertebral height. While the kyphosis becomes worse after removal of the fixators for thoracolumbar vertebrae burst fractures in patients with osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the subtype distribution and sequence characteristics of HIV-1 strains prevalent among sexual infectors in Beijing. Methods We collected the blood samples from 100HIV sexual infectors in Beijing during 2008 and separated plasma specimens. RNA was extracted from the plasma and the gag gene was amplified by RT-PCR and nest-PCR. The PCR products were sequenced directly and phylogenetic analyses of gag gene was performed using the MEGA4 software. Results Among 100 HIV-1 plasma samples,84 gag gene fragments were amplified and analyzed. Eight HIV subtypes including B(22 strains), B'(8 strains),C( 1 strain) ,CRF01_AE (38 strains) ,CRF02_AG (2 strains) ,CRF07_BC(9 strains) ,CRF08_BC(3 strains) and C/CRF01_AE recombinant like strain( 1 strain) were identified circulating in Beijing. Conclusion CRF01 _AE and subtype B were predominant in Beijing account for 45.2% and 26.2% and the surveillance of HIV gene variation should be paid more attention.

Objective To investigate the immunogenicity of group A plus group C meningococeal glycoconjugate vaccine,namely dosage,immune memory and compatibility. Methods The mice were injected with group A plus group C meningococcal glycoconjugate vaccine with different dosages. Blood samples were taken on the 14th day after the last injection for testing the antibodies against polysaccharide A and C. After the optimal immunization dosage had been decided,the mice were inoculated separately with the monovalent group A and the monovalent group C and the bivalent group A plus group C glycoconjugate vaccine with one,two or three injections for observation of the effectiveness of different injections and the compatibilities. Results The dosage of 1.25 μg of each polysaccharide of group A and group C in bivalent glycoconjugate vaccine appears to be immunologically optimal to vaccinate the mice. Immunological memory could be induced in mice inoculated with the glycoconjugate vaccine,and the antigenic immunogenicity of the group A component and group C component in the formulation of group A plus group C meningococcal glycoconjugate vaccine was not affected. Conclusion Group A plus group C meningococcal glycoconjugate vaccine have good immunogenicity,immune memory and compatibility.

Objective: To examine the vitamin A status of children and adolescents aged between 6-17 years old in Chongqing, and to analyze the influencing factors of vitamin A deficiency, providing a scientific basis for nutritional improvement measures. Methods: From 2016 to 2017, a multi-stage random sampling method was used to select approximately 1 508 children and adolescents aged between 6-17 years old from three rural and three urban locations in Chongqing. This study carried out a questionnaire survey and laboratory testing, and the statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: The mean vitamin A level was (1.45±0.42)μmol/L, while the prevalence of vitamin A deficiency and the subclinical deficiency rate were 0.46% and 13.46%, respectively. The binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that the following factors were associated with a lower risk of vitamin A deficiency:overweight and obese students(OR=0.51); students whose mothers had a high school education or above(OR=0.35, P=0.01); students from big cities; and higher quartile albumin levels (Q 3 and Q 4). Students who did not eat meat each day(OR=2.05), students aged 6-8 years old, and students with C-reactive protein in the third (OR=2.12) and fourth (OR=4.54) higher quartiles were at a higher risk of vitamin A deficiency. Conclusion The subclinical vitamin A deficiency rate was relatively high among children aged 6-17 years old in Chongqing. Measures including nutritional education, reasonable diets, and nutritionally fortified food or fortifiers should be used when necessary.

Objective: To understand the status of vitamin D deficiency and high blood pressure in primary and middle school students aged 7 to 17 years old in Chongqing, and to explore the correlation between vitamin D deficiency and high blood pressure in children and adolescents. Methods: From 2016 to 2017, a total of 1 360 primary and middle school students, aged 7 to 17 years old, were selected from three rural and three urban sites in Chongqing using multistage stratified random sampling. This study carried out a questionnaire survey, and participants underwent a physical examination which included blood pressure and serum vitamin D assessments. Results: The deficiency and insufficiency rates of vitamin D were 9.71%, and 62.57%, respectively. The high blood pressure rate was 25.88%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, economic status, waist circumference, BMI classification, and family history of hypertension, the risk of hypertension was 1.42 times that of the normal group (P<0.05), and the risk of high systolic blood pressure was 1.59 times that of the normal group (P<0.05). Conclusion The deficiency and insufficiency rate of vitamin D among children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years old in Chongqing was high, and the phenomenon of high blood pressure was prominent. Students with vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were more likely to have high blood pressure.

Objective: To investigate the influencing factors of smoking tendency of adolescents and to analyze the influence of e-cigarette on smoking tendency of teenagers and the possible interaction, to provide evidence for tobacco control measures. Methods: Stratified multistage cluster probability sampling method was used to select 6 178 students from junior middle school, high school and vocational high school students in Shanghai for questionnaire survey from September to October 2019. Students with smoking tendency were taken as case group, adolescents with same sex and similar age(within 1 year) were mathed in 1∶3 ratio. A total of 631 adolescents with smoking tendency and 1 870 non-smoking tendency were included in the study. Conditional Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors and possible interactions. Results: After adjusting gender, age and other covariates, conditional Logistic analysis results showed that the smoking tendency of middle school students was associated with factors such as their friends smoking, trying cigarettes and trying e-cigarettes. The OR value and 95%CI were 3.26(2.47-4.29), 5.90(3.76-9.24), and 3.28(2.11-5.10), respectively. The interaction analysis results showed that the OR value and 95%CI of the multiplying interaction between friends smoking and trying e-cigarettes, trying smoking and trying e-cigarettes were 8.62(4.90-15.17) and 12.01(6.02-23.95), respectively. There was no additive interaction. Conclusion Tobacco control interventions, such as e-cigarette harm publicity and peer education, can help to change teenagers smoking tendency and further reduce their tobacco use rate.

Objective:To explore the impact of PM 2.5 concentration in Shanghai on the incidence of allergic rhinitis（AR） in the population, and provide strategies for early warning and prevention of AR. Methods:Collect daily average concentrations of atmospheric pollutants monitored in Shanghai from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, and clinical data of AR patients from five hospitals in Shanghai during the same period. We used a time-series analysis additive Poisson regression model to analyze the correlation between PM 2.5 levels and outpatient attendance for AR patients. Results:During the study period, a total of 56 500 AR patients were included, and the daily average concentration of PM 2.5 was（35.28±23.07）μg/m³. There is a correlation between the concentration of PM 2.5 and the number of outpatient attendance for AR cases. There is a positive correlation between the daily average number of outpatient for AR and levels of PM 2.5 air pollution（（P<0.05）） . We found that every 10 μg/m³ increase in PM 2.5, the impact of on the number of AR visits was statistically significant on the same day, the first day behind, and the second day behind, with the strongest impact being the exposure on the same day. Every 10 μg/m³ increases in PM 2.5, the number of outpatient visits increased by 0.526% on the same day（95%CI 1.000 50-1.010 04）. Conclusion:The atmospheric PM 2.5 concentration in Shanghai is positively correlated with the number of outpatient for AR, and PM 2.5 exposure is an independent factor in the onset of AR. This provides an important theoretical basis for AR.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features, minimally invasive treatment, and outcomes of subglottic hemangioma in infants.

METHODSFifteen cases of infantile subglottic hemangioma treated from January 2009 to December 2012 were retrospective analysed. Average time of onset was within 43 days-5 months of age. Seven cases had symptoms of laryngeal obstruction one week after birth, and 8 cases had symptoms within three weeks to six weeks after birth. Fourteen cases were unilateral and 1 case bilateral. No case had tracheotomy. Seven cases were hospitalised after intubation. Of which 5 cases with subglottic hemangiomas who failed to respond to pharmacologic treatment were treated by microdebrider under suspension laryngoscope. Ten cases accepted suction cutter suction.

RESULTSAfter surgery, nine cases were confirmed pathologically as capillary hemangioma. Average bleeding was 1-3 ml during operation, surgery usually lasted 10-15 minutes. No complications were found. Five cases required orotracheal intubation for 24 or 48 h after surgery, and no reintubation or tracheotomy was required in this series. Symptoms such as stridor and inspiratory retraction resolved approximately 12-72 h after surgery. Follow-up was 12-18 months after surgery, no systemic or local complications were observed, and no recurrence.

CONCLUSIONSThe treatment of subglottic hemangioma is individualised. If the tracheal stenoses ≥ 50%, with recurrent infection and acute laryngeal obstruction, removal of tumor with microdebrider is the minimally invasive, safe, simple and effective method with less complications. It is important that the anaesthetist should work well with otolaryngologist during operation.
