Objective:To compare postoperative analgesic effect of flurbiprofen axetil and parecoxib sodium in patients with humeral shaft fracture in painless ward.Methods:All of 200 hospitalized humeral fractures patients were retrospectively studied in the painless ward of the Forth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to September 2019 , the clinical effects of flurbiprofen axetil and parecoxib were compared.Results:Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) scores after 3 d of two groups of patients were significantly lower, compared with preoperative results: (4.26±0.96) scores vs. (6.09±1.38) scores, (4.04±1.19) scores vs. (6.04±1.11) scores, and the differences were statistical significantly ( P<0.01). Postoperative VAS score after 3 d of two groups had no statistical significance ( P>0.05). Two groups had different degree of adverse reactions after operation, and flurbiprofen axetil group had singnificant gastrointestinal adverse reaction: 22 patients vs. 3 patients( P<0.05). The number of patients in the parecoxib group were more than that in the flubiprofen axetil group without troubled sleep: 20 patients vs. 8 patients. Two groups of patients were satisfied with the pain care during hospitalization. Conclusions:Two analgestic drugs can obtain obvious analgesic effect in the treatment of bones surgery. The side effects and sleep disturbance in the flurbiprofen axetil group are higher than those in the parecoxib group. Good pain control can improve patients satisfaction with pain care.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(3):367-370
Objective:
To assess the effects of Socioeconomic status on the dietary quality of children and adolescents, and to provide the reference for improving primary students’ dietary quality.
Methods:
A total of 2 496 students from 16 schools (4 urban primary schools, 4 rural primary schools, 4 urban middle schools, and 4 rural middle schools) in Fangshan District, Beijing, were included using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Information on 7-day intake of cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat and dairy was collected using questionnaires and dietary quality was graded according to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016).
Results:
The dietary quality for urban children and adolescents was better than that for rural ones. Compared with rural children, their urban peers had higher scores for intake of vegetables, fruits, and dairy (all were P<0.01), but lower scores for intake of meat (P=0.01). For children with parental education level of senior high school, the dietary scores were higher in urban areas (P<0.05), whereas no urban-rural disparity was found for children with higher educated parents (junior college or above, P=0.17). In children with monthly household income less than 5 000 yuan, the urban dietary scores were higher than that of rural areas (P<0.01), whereas in the group above 5 000 yuan, the difference between urban and rural areas was no longer statistically significant(P>0.05). The multi-factor analysis showed that living in urban areas, being girls, being younger, with higher educated parents and with higher monthly household income were protective factors for dietary quality. However, the effect of household income on dietary quality differed between urban and rural areas (P<0.05).
Conclusion
In the process of dietary guidance and intervention, children with relatively low socio-economic level should be given a priority to provide appropriate nutrition education and welfare policies.

Objective:
To analyze the effect of parental correlates on screen time among children and adolescents and to explore possible gender disparity,and to provide the reference for taking measures to control and prevent the phenomenon.
Methods:
By stratified cluster sampling, 4 schools were selected from each of the urban middle school, urban primary school, rural middle school and rural primary school in Fangshan district, Beijing city. Students and parents in the selected school were recruited and investigated on general demographic characteristics and screen time. The effect of parental correlates on screen time and associated gender disparity were analyzed.
Results:
The prevalence of high screen time among children and adolescents was 10.4%, with boys’(11.9%) higher than girls’(8.9%). Students whose father spent more than 180 min in moderate and vigorous physical activity weekly were at lower risk for high screen time(OR=0.64). Students whose father spent more than 120 min screen time during weekday or on average were at higher risk for high screen time(OR=1.88,1.91). Students whose mother spent more than 120 min screen during weekday, during weekend or on average were at higher risk for high screen time compared with control group(OR=1.87,1.52,1.76). Father’s screen time during weekday or on average showed impact on screen time of their daughters and sons. Mother’s screen time only showed impacts on their daughters.
Conclusion
A strong effect of parental daily screen time on children’s screen time has been observed. Parental practice and roles should be considered to tailor interventions for healthy screen time among children and adolescents.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of cannulated screws with sutures in the treatment of patellar transverse fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of the data of 70 patients with patellar transverse fracture who had been admitted to Senior Department of Orthopedics, The Fourth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to March 2021. According to the construction methods for the tension band, the patients were divided into 3 groups. In group A of 21 cases subjected to fixation with cannulated screws with sutures (Fiber-Tape), there were 8 males and 13 females with a median age of 55.0 (48.0, 65.0) years; in group B of 32 cases subjected to fixation with Kirschner wire tension band, there were 15 males and 17 females with a median age of 52.5 (41.5, 63.0) years; in group C of 17 cases subjected to fixation with Cable-Pin system, there were 5 males and 12 females with a median age of 55.0 (37.0, 65.0) years. The 3 groups were compared in terms of complications, secondary surgery (removal of internal fixation), operation time, intraoperative blood loss and knee function rated by the Lysholm and B?stman scores at the last follow-up.Results:There were no significant differences in the preoperative general data between the 3 groups, showing they were comparable ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time, intraoperative blood transfusion or follow-up time among the 3 groups ( P > 0.05). The incidence of soft tissue irritation [4.8% (1/21)] and the secondary operation rate [4.8% (1/21)] in group A were significantly lower than those in group B [43.8% (14/32) and 37.5% (12/32)] and group C [41.2% (7/17) and 35.3% (6/17)] ( P < 0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C ( P > 0.05). In groups A, B and C, respectively, the Lysholm knee score was 84.0 (69.0, 88.0), 89.0 (71.5, 95.0) and 82.0 (63.0, 90.0), and the B?stman knee score 26.0 (23.0, 28.0), 26.5 (24.0, 27.5) and 26.0 (22.0, 28.0), showing no significant difference ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference either in the incidence of other complications among the 3 groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of patellar transverse fractures, compared with the Kirschner wire tension band and Cable-Pin system, cannulated screws with sutures (Fiber-Tape) may lead to a lower incidence of soft tissue irritation and a lower rate of secondary surgery, but no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, other complications or postoperative functional scores.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the correlation between mitral regurgitation grading and left ventricular ejection fraction in elderly patients (>60 years of age) in a 2-year follow-up.
METHODSA total of 455 patients with the diagnosis of at least mild mitral regurgitation by echocardiography were divided into ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) group and non-ischemic regurgitation (NIMR) group. The patients were followed up with echocardiography every 6 months and the data were analyzed at the end of 24 months.
RESULTSMitral regurgitation grade was inversely correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Patients with moderate and severe IMR had a lower LVEF than those with NIMR (P<0.05). After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, high blood pressure, diabetes, atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy, the mean LVEF at 2 years was lowered by 2.7% (1.4%-4.1%), 2.7% (1.3%-4.0%), and 5.2% (3.5%-6.9%) in mild, moderate and severe IMR patients, respectively (P<0.04), and by 3.2% (1.6%-4.8%), and 3.0% (1.4%-4.5%), and 1.7%(-0.5%-3.9%) in mild, moderate and severe NIMR patients (P=0.30).
CONCLUSIONThe mean LVEF in IMR patients is significantly lowered compared to that in NIMR patients. The grade of mitral regurgitation is inversely correlated with the regurgitation area in IMR patients. Stratified management might help improve LVEF in severe IMR patients.

By using Doppler sensor and pressure sensor, the cerebrovascular stroke detector can be used to measure the blood flow velocity and blood pressure of the carotid artery. In this study, a variety of signal conversion and isolation processing techniques are proposed for processing and feature extraction of the output signals from the sensors. Finally, effective signal output waveforms that can be used to evaluate the cerebrovascular hemodynamics index (CVHI) are obtained, and the sound signal outputs that can reflect the change characteristics of blood flow velocity and blood pressure signals are generated, which realizes the application functional requirements of the detector.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, differential diagnosis and molecular characteristics of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) with hemangioblastoma component (ccRCC-HBc).Methods:Two ccRCC-HBc cases diagnosed at Fujian Provincial Hospital in September 2015 and March 2016, respectively, were included. Their morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular features were analyzed, including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detection of TFE3, TFEB and VHL genes. Related literature was reviewed to reveal the characteristics of this tumor.Results:The two cases occurred in 2 women, aged 33 and 66 years, respectively. The maximum diameters of the tumors were 4.0 cm and 8.5 cm, respectively. Histologically, the ccRCC component, representing approximate 10%-20% of the neoplasm, while the tumor cells arranged in flaky, nested, and solid distribution. The tumor cells had conspicuous nucleoli, with rich thin-wall capillary network in the stroma. The hemangioblastoma-like component, representing approximate 60%-70% of the neoplasm, showed a rich capillary network of single-layered flat endothelial cells enclosing stromal cells. The latter cell type showed a pale or eosinophilic cytoplasm exhibiting occasional lipid droplets. Rare cell nuclei appeared enlarged, pleomorphic, or bizarre. The two components were intermingled with each other. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for PAX8, CKpan, EMA, vimentin, CD10, RCC, CAⅨ, and P504s in ccRCC area; in another area, the tumor cells were positive for α-inhibin, CD34 and vimentin, while CD10 were weakly positive. Neither TFE3 or TFEB gene split signal was detected in the 2 cases (0/2), nor was VHL gene mutation in case 2 (0/1).Conclusion:ccRCC-HBc is an extremely rare entity of ccRCC. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical and pathological characteristics, as well as immunohistochemistry. Molecular pathology is helpful for its differential diagnosis. The primary approach of treating ccRCC-HBc is complete surgical excision and chemotherapy. The targeted treatment is helpful if possible.
