Objective:To investigate the correlation between the location and volume of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and lacunar infarction (LI) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).Methods:Participants from the CSVD cohort in the Department of Neurology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Nanjing University from February 2017 to March 2019 were enrolled retrospectively. All participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging scans, standardized clinical assessment and diagnosis. AccuBrain, an automatic brain segmentation and quantification software developed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was used to quantitatively analyze the volume of CMBs and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). Ordered multi-class logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of LI, and then multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the volume of deep or infratentorial CMBs (DI-CMBs) and the number of LI. Results:A total of 317 patients with CSVD were included in the analysis, including 214 (67.5%) in the non-LI group, 43 (13.6%) in the single LI group, and 60 (18.9%) in the multiple LI group. The comparison of the three groups showed that older age, male, smoking, drinking, history of previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, larger CMBs and WMHs volume, higher enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) grade might be the risk factors for LI. Ordinal multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male (odds ratio [ OR] 2.058, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.084-3.909; P=0.027), previous stroke or TIA history ( OR 1.962, 95% CI 1.089-3.535; P=0.025), larger WMH volume ( OR 8.716, 95% CI 4.034-18.832; P<0.001), higher EPVS grade ( OR 1.915, 95% CI 1.292-2.839; P=0.001), larger DI-CMB volume ( OR 1.022, 95% CI 1.006-1.038; P=0.008) or more DI-CMB number ( OR 1.187, 95% CI 1.005-1.403; P=0.044) were the independent related factors of LI. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between the volume of DI-CMB and the number of LI ( r=0.330, P<0.001). Conclusion:In patients with CSVD, there is a significant correlation between DI-CMBs and LI.

The complete gene sequences of eight capripoxvirus strains in GenBank were aligned and analyzed with DNAStar software. We selected a size of 64 bp gene fragment that was located in gp064 region of goat pox virus (GPV) genome, and designed a pair of primers and a TaqMan-MGB probe against the gene fragment with Primer Express 2.0 software. Then, the fluorescence quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) assay was developed and the standard curve of different dilution series was described. We extracted the DNA samples from clinical skin pox, scab and GPV infected materials of artificial challenge animals. The FQ-PCR assay has been performed for all kinds of DNA samples. The results showed that the FQ-PCR assay was sensitive, specific, stable and could be used for clinical diagnosis. This method provided an important tool for rapid diagnosis of goat pox clinically, and for study GPV pathogenesis in the course of disease occurrence, development and convalescence.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the counts (per kilogram of body weight) or percentages of transplanted lymphocyte subgroups in children with non-infectious pulmonary complications (NIPC) and air-leak syndrome (ALS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and explore its significance in the progression of lung complications after transplantation.Methods:The patients with NIPC and ALS after allo-HSCT from January 2013 to December 2019 in Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital were retrospectively studied and the influencing factors in the progress of NIPC after HSCT were statistically analyzed.Results:Of the 2026 children who received HSCT treatment, 59 patients (34 males and 25 females) developed NIPC, the probability was 2.9% (59/2 026), and the probability of combined ALS was 1.4% (28/206). The differences in the comparison between NIPC progressed to ALS group (ALS group) and failed to progress to ALS group (non-ALS group) in the patient′s age( P=0.028), disease condition before transplantation( P=0.022), NIPC onset time( P=0.004) were significant. The P values of the percentage of NKT-like cells in the bone marrow ( P=0.008) or peripheral stem cells ( P=0.003) accounted for the lymphocytes. CD4+CD25+dim cells in bone marrow ( P=0.029) or peripheral stem cells ( P=0.036) accounted for the CD4+lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in bone marrow( P=0.004) or peripheral stem cells ( P=0.020) were less than 0.05, which meant the differences in patients′ refusion cells were significant. In the binary logistic regression model, the percentage of bone marrow NKT-like cells to lymphocytes, the ratio of bone marrow CD4+/CD8+and the percentage of peripheral stem NK cells to lymphocytes were important risk factors for the progression of NIPC to ALS. The rest factors were excluded from the model (AUC=0.918, P<0.05). Conclusion:During allo-HSCT transplantation, a high proportion of NKT-like cell and NK cell levels, and a high CD4+/CD8+ratio in the infusion of donors with high immune tolerance have an important correlation with the progression of the NIPC.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of infra-acetabular screw placement assisted by orthopedic navigation robot in the treatment of acetabular fractures.Methods:The data of 34 patients who were treated and followed up from September 2021 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the fixation method, the patients were divided into the robot group (robot assisted placement of infra-acetabular screws) and the control group (placement of the pubis-ischium plate manually). There were 16 patients in the robot group, 7 males and 9 females, aged 57.00±6.00 years (range, 51-70 years). According to Letournel classification, there were 8 cases of both-column fractures, 4 cases of anterior column and posterior hemitransverse fractures, and 4 cases of T-shaped fractures. There were 18 cases in the control group, 8 males and 10 females, aged 54.22±8.95 years (range, 38-69 years). According to Letournel classification, there were 10 cases of both-column fractures, 6 cases of anterior column and posterior hemitransverse fractures, and 2 cases of T-shaped fractures. The intraoperative fluoroscopy times, total operation time, exposure time and screw placement (plate) time, blood loss, Matta evaluation, Majeed score, and screw placement accuracy rate (the degree of screw cutting-out was evaluated according to Lonstein criteria) were compared between the two groups.Results:All patients were followed up for 12.21±3.62 months (range, 6-17 months). In the robot group, the fluoroscopy frequency was 9.69±0.95 times (range, 8-11 times), the screw placement time was 34.32±5.28 min (range, 21-45 min), and the blood loss was 461.88±228.71 ml (range, 200-800 ml). The control group was 10.11±1.41 times (range, 7-13 times), 42.89±4.38 min (range, 36-55 min), 674.44±220.65 ml (range, 420-1,100 ml), respectively. There were significant differences in screw (plate) placement time ( t=5.18, P<0.001) and blood loss ( t=2.76, P<0.001). The accuracy of robot screw placement was 100%. According to Lonstein evaluation, there were 14 cases of grade 0 (87.5%, 14/16) and 2 cases of grade I (12.5%, 2/16). At 30 days of follow-up, all patients had good fracture ends and no internal fixation failure occurred. One week after surgery, the results of Matta evaluation in robot group were excellent in 11 cases, good in 3 cases, and poor in 2 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 87.5%. In the control group, 11 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, and 3 cases were poor, with an excellent and good rate of 83.3%. There was no significant difference in the excellent and good rate of Matta evaluation between the two groups (χ 2=0.23, P=0.892). At last follow-up, the Majeed score of robot group was 87.81±8.82 (range, 71-98), including excellent in 10 cases, good in 5 cases, and fair in 1 case. The score of the control group was 86.22±6.85 (range, 70-95), including 12 cases of excellent, 4 of good, and 2 of fair. There was no significant difference in Majeed score between the two groups ( t=0.59, P=0.551). No complications related to the use of robot-assisted navigation or plate fixation were observed in both groups. Conclusion:Through the navigation planning and assistance of the robot, the infra-acetabular screws can be accurately and safely placed, which avoids the shortcomings of excessive exposure and bleeding during the application of the pubis-ischium plate, the outcome was similar to that of plate treatment.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):167-172
Abstract
Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.
