Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of vaccine-associated immune thrombocytopenia(VA-ITP)based on the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System(VAERS), and to provide a reference for vaccine safety monitoring, vaccination prevention, and clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Data from VAERS on all reported cases of immune thrombocytopenia(ITP) after vaccination since the establishment of the database in 1990 to the data lock point of 7th November 2023 were analyzed retrospectively for information on such as sex, age, vaccine type, vaccine dose, and occurrence time of ITP.Results Among the 877 cases of VA-ITP, there were 868 cases of effective statistical vaccine types, involving 43 vaccine types. The top 10 vaccine types were COVID-19 vaccine(434 cases, 50%), MMR vaccine(82 cases, 9. 4%),HEPA vaccine(48 cases, 5. 5%), FLU3 vaccine(41 cases, 4. 7%), FLU4 vaccine(32 cases, 3. 7%), HPV4 vaccine(30 cases,3. 5%), DTAP vaccine(29 cases, 3. 3%), MMRV vaccine(32 cases, 3. 7%), VARZOS vaccine(17 cases, 2. 0%) and HPV9vaccine(13 cases, 1. 5%). Among the 877 reported cases, 843 cases with definite sex were counted, including 374 males and469 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1∶1. 25. The 377 cases of patients were under 18 years of age, accounting for about 44. 7% of the total, and there was significant difference in the composition ratio of sexes among patients with VA-ITP at different ages(χ~2= 10. 029, P < 0. 05). The incidence of ITP within 8 days after vaccination, with a total of 336 cases, was39.9%, and there was no significant difference in the occurrence time composition ratio of ITP between different sexes(χ~2=3. 296, P > 0. 05). The 54. 9% of ITP occurred after the first dose of vaccine, and there was no significant difference in the composition ratio of different vaccination doses between male and female recipients(χ~2= 5. 323, P > 0. 05), but there was significant difference in the composition ratio of vaccination doses among different age groups(χ~2= 30. 591, P < 0. 01).Conclusion By analyzing the summary data from VAERS database, the adverse reaction of VA-ITP was fully recognized.After clinical vaccination, attention should be focused on the platelet status of minors and the elderly, as well as those who were vaccinated within 8 days, and the continuous vaccine safety monitoring should be carried out, which is helpful to reduce the missed diagnosis of vaccine adverse events(AE) and improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the influence of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin and platelet levels on the effect of chemotherapy and prognostic outcome in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).Methods 104 patients with EC who underwent surgical treatment following neoadjuvant chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed.Multiple logistic regression was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the probability of achieving an optimal clinical response and the variables.The log-rank test was used to compare the homogeneity of progression-free survival and overall survival functions across strata defined by categories of prognostic variables.Results The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the significance of potential prognostic factors for progression-free survival and overall survival.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that FIGO staging (OR =3.234,95 ％ CI:1.324-13.454) and lymph node metastasis (OR =8.235,95 ％ CI:1.563-18.574) were independent factors of influencing effects of new adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of EC patients.Multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that the FIGO staging(HR =4.342,95％ CI:1.643-15.856) and lymph node metastasis (HR =3.853,95％ CI:1.864-9.675) were independent factors of influencing 5 years survival rate of EC patients received new adjuvant chemotherapy.Conclusion The curative effect and prognosis after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy operation in treatment of EC patients before chemotherapy,there was no significant correlation between hemoglobin and platelet levels,and lymph node metastasis,FIGO stage.

Sixty five stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation training in our hospital from May 2010 to May 2013 were randomly divided into study group (n =32) and control group (n =33).Patients in study group received intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in the affected limbs before rehabilitation training started.The F wave amplitude and F/M value,muscle tension and TUG test and 10 m free walking test results of patients in two groups were observed before and 4 weeks after treatment.Compared to the results before treatment,the amplitude of F wave and F/M value after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment in study group decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to control group,the indexes at each time point after treatment in study group were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05).The muscle tension score in study group after 4 weeks of treatment decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05),and also lower than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment there were no significant differences in TUG test and 10 m free walk test between two groups (P ＞0.05) ; while TUG test and 10 m free walk test in study group were better than those in control group after 4 weeks of treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The TUG test and 10 m free walk test had little improvement in control group after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).The results indicate that botulinum toxin A injection can reduce amplitude of F wave in the corresponding segment of spinal cord motor neurons and improve the walking ability of stroke patients.

Objective To observe the morphological features of the incisive canal in normal anatomy and abnormalities with multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT). Methods MSCT findings of 108 normal subjects and 65 patients with abnormalities involving incisive canal were retrospectively analyzed. Results The normal incisive canal were classified into 3 types according to the morphology of the nasal opening:two openings, short bony crest and one opening (37.04%, 33.33% and 29.63%, respectively), as well as cylinder, Y-shaped and pyramidal (59.26%, 37.04% and 3.70%) in coronal images, and cylinder, pyramidal and fusiform (84.26%, 14.81% and 0.93%) in sagittal images. The maximum diameter of the nasal and palatal opening was (4.67±1.31) mm and (3.51±0.88) mm (P<0.05). The length of the incisive canal was (10.71±1.95) mm, (11.51±1.97) mm in male and (9.91±1.58) mm in female respectively, and gender difference was found (P<0.05). The angle between the posterior wall and the hard palate was (118.51±9.44)°. The upper and lower length from the anterior wall of the incisive canal to the cortical palate was (9.29±1.26) mm and (7.12±1.21) mm, respectively (P<0.05). The manifestations of abnormalities involving incisive canal including enlargement (47.69%), narrowing (46.15%), shortening (3.08%) and interruption (3.08%) were observed. Conclusion The morphology of the incisive canal can be clearly delineated with MSCT and post processing techniques. It is extremely valuable for avoiding potential complications during surgical procedures such as implant placement and helpful to the diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities involving maxillary incisive canal.
