BACKGROUND:After entering the aging society, improving the balance function to prevent fals and reduce incidence of fractures in the elderly has received widespread attentions in al aspects. OBJECTIVE: To design a training program for the elderly, involving static stretching and strength exercise of lower limb, in order to study the combined effect on the balance function of the elderly. METHODS: Static stretching and strength training of the lower limbs were carried out in 28 elderly persons who met the inclusion criteria for 3 months, three times a week, once for 60 minutes. Before and after exercise training, the static balance ability with foot standing, eyes open and eyes closed was evaluated using the PRO-KIN balance instrument; the dynamic balance ability and lower limb strength were evaluated using treadmil test with eyes closed and chair-stand test. Evaluation results before and after exercise were compared and anayzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the eyes open state, the average X-axis coordinate and exercise-induced elipse area at the center of pressure were significant different before and after exercise (P < 0.01); the mean velocities at the left and right direction were of significant difference before and after exercise (P < 0.05); the results of treadmil test with eyes closed and chair-stand test also presented very significant differences before and after exercise (P < 0.01). Static stretching combined with lower limb strength exercise can effectively improve the balance function and lower limb strength of the elderly, which can be used as an effective exercise way to prevent the fals in the elderly.

Objective:To summarize clinical manifestations and histopathological features of granular parakeratosis (GP) after exposure to benzalkonium chloride.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 7 GP cases with a history of benzalkonium chloride exposure in the Department of Dermatology at Wuhan No.1 Hospital from April to August 2022. Data were collected on the general condition, skin lesion manifestations, pathological examination, treatment, and follow-up of the patients, and retrospectively analyzed.Results:The 7 adult patients with GP typically presented with erythema and brown scales in the intertriginous area, exhibiting an annular distribution pattern. All the 7 patients reported recent exposure to disinfectants containing benzalkonium chloride. A total of 10 skin biopsies were taken from the 7 patients. Histopathological examination showed characteristic hyperkeratosis and fine blue-gray parakeratotic granules in the stratum corneum. All skin lesions improved 1 month after cessation of exposure to benzalkonium chloride.Conclusion:GP has a distinct clinical pattern and histopathological manifestations, and a history of exposure to benzalkonium chloride can be helpful for the diagnosis of GP.

Objective:To establish a colloidal gold technique assay for the rapid detection of immunoglobulin(Ig)M and IgG antibodies against 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and to evaluate its clinical performance.Methods:A total of 278 patients who were respectively treated at Wuhan Hankou Hospital and the People′s Hospital of Honghu from February 12, 2020 to February 20, 2020 were collected. According to the diagnostic criteria, 89 patients were confirmed with positive 2019-nCoV nucleic acid, and 189 were 2019-nCoV nucleic acid-negative suspected patients. A total of 273 medical examiners from Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from 2015 to 2018 were selected as controls. The serum samples of patients were collected. 2019-nCoV nucleic proteins were obtained from prokaryotic expression vectors. Indirect IgM and IgG colloidal gold techniques were established by using recombinant nuclear protein. 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used as control. Serum specimens were tested for 2019-nCoV IgM and IgG. The specificity and sensitivity of colloidal gold assay were analyzed.Results:The positive rates of IgM and IgG with the colloidal gold detection in confirmed patients with positive 2019-nCoV nucleic acid were 78.7%(70/89) and 73.0%(65/89), respectively. The positive rates of IgM and IgG in medical examiners were 1.8%(5/273) and 0.7%(2/273), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of IgM detection reagents were 78.7% and 98.2%, respectively, those of IgG detection reagents were 73.0% and 99.3%, respectively, and those of IgM combined with IgG detection were 87.6% and 98.2%, respectively. For suspected patients with negative 2019-nCoV nucleic acid, the positive rates of IgM and IgG were 59.8%(113/189) and 52.9%(100/189), respectively, and the positive rate of IgM combined with IgG detection was 66.1%(125/189).Conclusion:This reagent of 2019-nCoV antibodies detection (colloidal gold technique) fulfills the requirement for clinical application with high specificity and sensitivity, which can be served as a supplementary detection method for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection by RT-PCR.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for online rapid detection of related indexes in the concentration process of Huagai san extraction solution ,and to provide reference for judgment of concentration end point. METHODS :Online diagram of 73 concentrated samples in the concentration process of Huagai san extraction solution were drawn by NIRS online collection equipment. The partial least squares (PLS)method was used to establish the NIRS quantitative calibration model of 5 related indexes (concentration density , solid content , the contents of amygdalin , ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride). Another 15 samples were used to validate the model ,and the correlation of predicted value and measured value was analyzed. RESULTS :The correlation coefficients (R2)of the concentration density ,solid content ,the contents of amygdalin , ephedrine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in the quantitative calibration model were 0.982 5,0.999 9,0.998 3, 0.999 4 and 0.999 3,respectively;the root mean square errors of calibration (RMSEC)were 0.001 6,0.025 1,0.014 7,0.001 8 and 0.000 9;the root mean square errors of cross validation (RMSECV)were 0.002 1,0.035 8,0.033 6,0.006 3 and 0.001 3, respectively. After validation by 15 samples,root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP)were 0.003 2,0.024 6,0.021 5, 0.007 7 and 0.005 9,respectively. CONCLUSIONS :The established quantitative calibration model has good predictability and can provide basis for online judgment of concentration end point of Huagai san extraction solution.

The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. With the widespread applica-tion of ICIs in HCC, the management of immune-related adverse events (irAE) gained more and more attention. However, the complicated disease characteristics and various combination therapies in HCC throw out challenges to irAE management. Therefore, the editorial board of the 'Chinese expert consensus on the management of immune-related adverse events of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (2021 edition)' organizes multidisciplinary experts to discuss and formulate this consensus. The consensus focuses on issues related to HCC irAE manage-ment, and puts forward suggestions, in order to improve standardized and safety clinical medication, so as to maximize the benefits of immunotherapy for patients.
