Objective To evaluate the left ventricular and right ventricular systolic function by two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography ( 2D‐STE) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ) . Methods Fifty five patients with RA and 50 healthy subjects were received echocardiography . 2D‐STE were applied for all the subjects to obtain left ventricular global longitudinal strain ( LVGLS) and right ventricular global longitudinal strain ( RVGLS) .Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion ( TAPSE) and the change ratio of right ventricular area ( RVACR) were measured by echocardiography . The anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies ( anti‐CCP‐II) ,rheumatoid factor ( RF) ,C‐reactive protein ( CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR) were detected in both group . The LVGLS and RVGLS in RA group were used to conduce correlation analysis with the level of anti‐CCP‐II ,RF ,CRP , ESR and the duration of disease . Results There was a significant decrease in RVGLS and LVGLS in RA group compared with control group( P <0 .05) . However there was no statistical differenc in TAPSE and RVACR between RA and control group( P > 0 .05) . The anti‐CCP‐II ,RF ,CRP and ESR in RA group increased significantly compared with control group ( P < 0 .001 ) . The result of correlation analysis showed there was no correlation between RVGLS ,LVGLS and anti‐CCP‐II ,RF ,CRP ,ESR in RA group . However ,RVGLS and LVGLS were negatively correlated with the duration of disease . Conclusions LVGLS and RVGLS in RA patients were lower than those in healthy people ,strain decreases with the extension of disease duration ,2D‐STE may be an efficacious assessment to assess left ventricular and right ventricular systolic function in patients w ith RA .

Objective: To observe the short-term changes of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference (WC) in junior high school students in Harbin, and to explore its association with the changes of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the same period. Furthermore, to analyze the value of hs-CRP to predict the BMI and WC changes in children and adolescents. Methods: Convenient sampling method was used,and the students in grades 6 and 7 in junior high school in Harbin were selected by stratified clicstering. Physical examination and serum hs-CRP were performed for two consecutive years. According to the results of the two surveys, the subjects were divided into control group (normal → normal), case group (abnormal → abnormal), improved group (abnormal → normal) and progression group (normal → abnormal). The multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the predictive value of hs-CRP changes for BMI and WC changes. Results: The rate of overweight and obesity among samples from junior high school was 30.6%. The increment of BMI in female was more obvious than that in male(U=17 358.0，P<0.05). Both increments in BMI and WC were positively correlated with increments in hs-CRP(P<0.05). The risk of occurrence of "BMI always abnormal" and "WC always abnormal" increased sequentially in hs-CRP "normal → abnormal", "abnormal → normal" and "abnormal → abnormal", were 3.45 times, 5.98 times and 38.84 times of "BMI is always normal", respectively; and were 3.45 times, 4.26 times and 28.50 times of "WC is always normal", respectively. The risk of "BMI improvement" was 7.70 times more than that of BMI "always normal" when hs-CRP "abnormal → normal". Conclusion The prevalence of overweight and obesity in junior high school students in Harbin is high. The BMI increases faster in female from junior high school. The trends of change of BMI and WC are consistent with the trend of change of hs-CRP. The “hs-CRP change” has a good predictive value for BMI and WC development.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, neuropsychological and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) characteristics in patients with psychiatric symptoms caused by nitrous oxide abuse.Methods:Twelve patients with psychiatric symptoms caused by nitrous oxide abuse were enrolled from February 2018 to February 2020 in the Department of Neurology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital and the First Hospital of Tsinghua University.All patients were scored with the brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA). The SPECT/CT images were collected with low-energy and high-resolution collimator.After the pictures were reconstructed, 18 brain regions were automatically sketched and calculated by Database Comparison software.The statistical value of the difference between the general mean value of each brain region and that of the corresponding region of interest in the same age group was estimated.Results:(1)The clinical manifestations of 12 patients were anxiety, depression, hallucination, delusion, and 7 patients were accompanied by cognitive decline.(2)Neuropsychological examination: BPRS score was 57.83±11.15 (anxiety depression factor was 3.94±0.47; lacking active factor was 3.25±0.85; thinking disturbance factor was 3.21±1.27; activity factor was 2.28±0.56; hostility factor was 3.14±1.24). The score of self-knowledge impairment was 2.92±1.08, the score of inability to work was 4.50±1.17, the score of HAMD was 32.75±10.13, the score of HAMA was 18.67±5.80, the score of MMSE was 27.67±2.50, and the score of MoCA was 24.58±3.78.(3)SPECT showed that compared with the general mean value of the corresponding regions of interest of normal people, the patients showed hypoperfusion in the frontal lobe (7 patients, 58.30%) and the temporal lobe (8 patients, 66.70%).Conclusion:Nitrous oxide abuse has an obvious effect on rCBF.The psychiatric symptoms include anxiety, depression, hallucination, delusion and so on, which affect the ability to work and learn.SPECT has important value in the diagnosis of nitrous oxide abuse, and indicates changes in local brain functional activity.

Objective To investigate the significance of spread through air spaces (STAS) in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing either sublobar resection or lobectomy by pooling evidence available, and to assess the accuracy of frozen sections in determining types of resection among patients with suspected presence of STAS. Methods Studies were identified by searching databases including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library from inception to July 2022. Two researchers independently searched, screened, evaluated literature, and extracted data. Statistical analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 and STATA 15.0. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the study. Results A total of 26 studies involving 23 surgical related studies (12 266 patients) were included, among which, 11 compared the outcomes of lobectomy with sublobar resection in the STAS-positive patients. NOS score≥6 points. Meta-analysis indicated that presence of STAS shortened patients' survival in both lobectomy group and sublobar resection group (RFS: HR=2.27, 95%CI 1.96-2.63, P＜0.01; OS: HR=2.08, 95%CI 1.74-2.49, P＜0.01). Moreover, lobectomy brought additional survival benefits to STAS-positive patients compared with sublobar resection (RFS: HR=1.97, 95%CI 1.59-2.44, P＜0.01; OS: HR=1.91, 95%CI 1.47-2.48, P＜0.01). Four studies were included to assess the accuracy of identifying presence of STAS on intraoperative frozen sections, of which the pooled sensitivity reached 55% (95%CI 45%-64%), the pooled specificity reached 92% (95%CI 77%-97%), and the pooled area under the curve was 0.68 (95%CI 0.64-0.72) based on the data available. Conclusion This study confirms that presence of STAS is a critical risk factor for patients with early-stage NSCLC. Lobectomy should be recommended as the first choice when presence of STAS is identified on frozen sections, as lobectomy can prolong patients' survival compared with sublobar resection in STAS-positive disease. The specificity of identifying STAS on frozen sections seems to be satisfactory, which may be helpful in determining types of resection. However, more robust methods are urgently in need to make up for the limited sensitivity and accuracy of frozen sections.

The aberrant activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome as an essential component of the innate system is implicated in the pathogenesis of several human inflammatory diseases. Studies have confirmed its association with digestive system diseases such as ulcerative colitis， Crohn's disease， and acute pancreatitis， suggesting that the NLRP3 inflammasome plays a role in the initiation and progression of these diseases. Based on the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and the pathways that mediate the inflammatory response， this article introduced the relationship between the NLRP3 inflammasome and the pathogenesis of multiple digestive system diseases and the Chinese and western medical therapies. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated definite effects on the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated digestive system diseases. Some single Chinese medicines or TCM prescriptions can treat digestive system diseases by activating or inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NLRP3 inflammasome can receive a variety of endogenous and exogenous stimulatory signals， which can initiate， activate， and mediate inflammatory responses. The inflammasome formation and downstream inflammatory cytokines are involved in not only the inflammatory responses but also the development and progression of multiple digestive system diseases. Therefore， the NLRP3 inflammasome can serve as an ideal target for disease treatment. The future rediscovery and in-depth studies of multiple inflammasomes will shed new light on the treatment of multiple digestive system diseases.
