Objective To find out the relationship between kidney- yang- deficiency syndrome and the Th1/Th2 expression, and to investigate the effect of kidney- yang warming therap yon the Th1/Th2 expression. Methods Kidney- yang- deficiency rat models were firstly induced by adenine and then were sensitizated by inhalation of ovalbumin to establish allergic rhinitis (AR)models .The treatment group was given Jinkui Shenqi pill. After treatment , the changes of behavior , secretion of nasal cavity and nasal mucosa were observed. The levels of Th1 cytokines IFN- ? , IL- 2 and Th2 cytokines IL- 4 , IL- 5 in serum were determined by ELISA. Results The behavioral score in AR group and kidney- yang- deficiency AR group was higher than that in the treatment group and normal control group ( P

0.05),while loratadine group shows a highly significant treatment efficacy(P

Objective To introduce a new modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy and compare the application effect of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy with modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy in the treatment of critically ill patients. Methods A total of 60 critically ill patients undergoing tracheotomy were selected , and they were randomly divided into two groups according to the methods of tracheotomy. Sex, age, weight, body mass index, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation, operation time, incision size, intraoperative blood loss, incision healing time, incidences of complications after operation were compared between the two groups. Results There were not statistically significant differences of in sex, age, weight, body mass index, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation between percutaneous dilational tracheostomy group and modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy group (P>0.05). Operation time, incision size and intraoperative blood loss of modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy group was statistically significantly shorter than that of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy group [(5.80 ± 1.19) min vs. (7.65 ± 1.05) min, (8.33 ± 3.30) ml vs. (11.33 ± 4.34) ml, (1.08 ± 2.96) cm vs. (1.27 ± 2.54) cm] (P<0.05). The incision healing time and incidence of complications after operation of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy group had no statistical significance compared with modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy group (P>0.05). Conclusions The modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy can save operation time, and reduce intraoperative blood loss, so it can be widely used.

As China's manned space missions gradually develop towards long-term residence and deep space exploration,astronauts will face increasingly severe psychological challenges.As a psychological adjustment method involving multiple disciplines such as music,psychology,and medicine,music therapy has the advantages of being convenient to implement,cost-effective,and highly personalized.This paper integrates the concept of music therapy and explores the research progress of music therapy in regulating psychological states in aspects such as physiology,emotional regulation,cognitive ability,and interpersonal relationships.Combined with the mechanism of action of music therapy and the practical situation in the field of manned spaceflight,it aims at the future development trends and problems to be solved,to construct a music therapy system for astronauts during on-orbit flight and ground daily training.This will help astronauts achieve healthy physical and mental development and promote the completion of missions.

Objective A prospective cohort study was carried out to assess the mortality and potential risk factors for primary liver cancer (PLC) in Haimen city of Jiangsu province.Methods The cohort involved 89 789 adult residents aged 25-69 years.Upon the entry of this project,each subject was asked to complete a questionnaire and to provide a blood sample of 10 ml.Surface antigen of hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) was tested by radioimmunoassay.All the subjects were followed-up every year for vital statistics and death certificate information until 2014.Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95％ confidence interval (95％ CI) for PLC mortality associated with HBsAg status and other risk factors.Results During the 1 299 611 person-years of follow-up,a total of 2 583 PLC cases were identified,including 2 149 men and 434 women.Mortality of the PLC for men and women were 247.80/100 000 person-years and 100.38/100000 person-years,respectively.Among those who died of PLC,73.87％ had been tested HBsAg positive.HBV infection seemed the predominant risk factor for PLC and the HRs were 15.97 for men (95％CI:14.29-17.85) and 21.63 for women (95％CI:16.16-28.96) respectively.Ageing,cigarette smoking,previous history of hepatitis,and family history of HCC were factors associated with the increased risk for PLC.Conclusion People living in Haimen city had a high risk on PLC.HBV infection appeared the most important risk factor for HCC mortality in this area.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between famine exposure in early life and the risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood during the 1959–1961 Chinese Famine. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 3,418 individuals aged 35–74 years free of diabetes from two studies in 2006 and 2009 were followed up prospectively in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Famine exposure was classified as unexposed (individuals born in 1962–1978), fetal exposed (individuals born in 1959–1961), child exposed (individuals born in 1949–1958), and adolescent/adult exposed (born in 1931–1948). A logistic regression model was used to assess the relationship between famine exposure and diabetes after adjustment for potential covariates. RESULTS: During a three-year follow-up, the age-adjusted incidence rates of type 2 diabetes were 5.7%, 14.5%, 12.7%, and 17.8% in unexposed, fetal-exposed, child-exposed, and adolescent/adult-exposed groups, respectively (P < 0.01). Relative to the unexposed group, the relative risks (95% confidence interval) for diabetes were 2.15 (1.29–3.60), 1.53 (0.93– 2.51), and 1.65 (0.75–3.63) in the fetal-exposed, child-exposed, and adolescent/adult-exposed groups, after controlling for potential covariates. The interactions between famine exposure and obesity, education level, and family history of diabetes were not observed, except for the urbanization type. Individuals living in rural areas with fetal and childhood famine exposure were at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, with relative risks of 8.79 (1.82–42.54) and 2.33 (1.17–4.65), respectively. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that famine exposure in early life is an independent predictor of type 2 diabetes, particularly in women. Early identification and intervention may help prevent diabetes in later life.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of three children with KBG syndrome. METHODS: Clinical data of the three children from two families who have presented at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between October 2019 and September 2020 and their family members were collected. Trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES) and Sanger sequencing were carried out. RESULTS: All children had feeding difficulties, congenital heart defects and facial dysmorphism. The sib- pair from family 1 was found to harbor a novel de novo heterozygous c.6270delT (p.Q2091Rfs*84) variant of the ANKRD11 gene, whilst the child from family 2 was found to harbor a novel heterozygous c.6858delC (p.D2286Efs*51) variant of the ANKRD11 gene, which was inherited from his mother who had a mild clinical phenotype. CONCLUSION The heterozygous frameshift variants of the ANKRD11 gene probably underlay the disease in the three children. Above findings have enriched the spectrum of the ANKRD11 gene variants.
