Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of mother-child reinforcing-reducing acupoint combination in treating migraine of liver yang hyperactivity type.Methods Forty patients with migraine of liver yang hyperactivity type were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 20 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture by mother-child reinforcing-reducing acupoint combination and the control group, acupuncture with conventional acupoint combination. Headache symptoms were scored in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the headache symptom score in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in pre-/post-treatment headache symptom score difference value between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate and the cure and marked efficacy rate were 90.0% and 75.0%, respectively, in the treatment group and 85.0% and 35.0%, respectively, in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the cure and marked efficacy rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Mother-child reinforcing-reducing acupoint combination is an effective way to treat migraine of liver yang hyperactivity type.

Objective To evaluate the cost-utility of different hepatitis E vaccination strategies in women aged 15 to 49.Methods The Markov-decision tree model was constructed to evaluate the cost-utility of three hepatitis E virus vaccination strategies.Parameters of the models were estimated on the basis of published studies and experience of experts.Both methods on sensitivity and threshold analysis were used to evaluate the uncertainties of the model.Results Compared with non-vaccination group,strategy on post-screening vaccination with rate as 100％,could save 0.10 quality-adjusted life years per capital in the women from the societal perspectives.After implementation of screening program and with the vaccination rate reaching 100％,the incremental cost utility ratio (ICUR) of vaccination appeared as 5 651.89 and 6 385.33 YuaWQALY,respectively.Vaccination post to the implementation of a screening program,the result showed better benefit than the vaccination rate of 100％.Results from the sensitivity analysis showed that both the cost of hepatitis E vaccine and the inoculation compliance rate presented significant effects.If the cost were lower than 191.56 Yuan (RMB) or the inoculation compliance rate lower than 0.23,the vaccination rate of 100％ strategy was better than the post-screening vaccination strategy,otherwise the post-screening vaccination strategy appeared the optimal strategy.Conclusion Post-screening vaccination for women aged 15 to 49 from social perspectives seemed the optimal one but it had to depend on the change of vaccine cost and the rate of inoculation compliance.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and differences of severe hyperbilirubinemia caused by hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.Methods:From January 2014 to December 2021, newborns (gestational age ≥ 35 weeks and postnatal age ≤ 28 d) admitted to the Department of Neonatology of Hunan Children's Hospital with severe hyperbilirubinemia caused by HDN or G6PD deficiency were retrospectively analyzed. According to the etiology of hyperbilirubinemia, they were assigned into HDN group and G6PD deficiency group. The general conditions, clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were compared using SPSS 26.0 software.Results:A total of 532 cases were in the HDN group and 413 cases in the G6PD deficiency group. The HDN group reached peak hyperbilirubinemia earlier than the G6PD deficiency group [3(2,5) d vs. 6(4,8)d, P<0.05]. The HDN group had lower peak value of total serum bilirubin [379.5(345.6,426.7) μmol/L vs. 486.4 (413.5,577.4) μmol/L] and lower incidence of anemia [37.4% (199/532) vs. 55.0% (227/413)]than the G6PD deficiency group.The incidence of anemia with elevated reticulocyte percent(Ret%) in the HDN group was higher than the G6PD deficiency group[66.3%(132/199) vs. 5.7%(13/227), P<0.05]. Compared with the G6PD deficiency group, the incidences of exchange transfusion and repeated (≥2 times) exchange transfusion, acute bilirubin encephalopathy(ABE) and the mortality rate after withdrawal of treatment in the HDN group were significantly lower ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Neonatal severe hyperbilirubinemia caused by HDN has early onset. G6PD deficiency caused hyperbilirubinemia has higher incidences of anemia, more severe jaundice and ABE, without increased Ret%.

Objective To investigate the correlation between neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and disease activity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),and the changes of NLR in different organ involvement of SLE patients.Methods A total of 155 SLE patients and 135 healthy controls from the Rheumatology Department of Xiangya Hospital were enrolled in this study from 2010 to 2018.Patients with SLE were divided into lupus nephritis group (LN group) and non-lupus nephritis group (non-LN group),serositis group and non-serositis group,according to whether they had kidney involvement or serositis.According to the SLE disease activity index 2000(SLEDAI-2000),the patients were divided into mild to moderate disease activity group (SLEDAI score ＜ 15) and severe disease activity group (SLEDAI score≥ 15).The NLR values of the above groups were compared.Spearman's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between NLR and SLE patients' laboratory indexes.Multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between NLR and SLE disease activity.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the value of NLR in SLE diagnosis and activity assessment.Results (1)The NLR value of SLE patients was significantly higher than that of healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).(2)The NLR value of SLE patients in the LN group was higher than that in the non-LN group,and the NLR value of SLE patients with serositis was higher than that in the group without serositis,with statistically significant differences (both P ＜ 0.05).(3)The NLR value of SLE patients in the severe disease activity group was higher than that in the mild and moderate disease activity group,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).(4)NLR of SLE patients was positively correlated with CRP (rs=0.188,P=0.019),SLEDAI score (rs=0.264,P=0.001),and negatively correlated with total serum protein (rs=-0.250,P=0.002) and serum albumin (rs=-0.329,P ＜ 0.001),respectively.(5) Multiple linear regression showed that NLR was independently associated with SLE disease activity (B=0.351,95％CI 0.012-0.690,t=2.047,P=0.042).(6) According to ROC curve,the optimal cut-off value of NLR for SLE diagnosis was 2.17 (sensitivity 60.0％,specificity 83.1％,AUC=0.744),and the best cut-off value for predicting the activity of severe disease activity in SLE patients was 3.28 (sensitivity 58.5％,specificity 78.1％,AUC=0.700).Conclusion NLR is closely related to renal involvement,serositis and disease activity in SLE patients,which indicates that NLR,as a new inflammatory indicator,is of great significance for the assessment of SLE disease activity and organ involvement.

BACKGROUND:Previous research by the research team found that domestically produced porous tantalum is beneficial for early adhesion and proliferation of MG63 cells,and can be used as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of domestic porous tantalum modified by osteogenic induction factor slow-release system on the adhesion,proliferation,and differentiation of MG63 cells. METHODS:Osteogenic induction factor slow-release system was constructed by adding 15%volume fraction of osteogenic factor solution to poly(lactic-co-glycolic-acid)gel.The passage 3 MG63 cells were inoculated on a porous tantalum surface(control group),porous tantalum surface coated with poly(lactic-co-glycolic-acid)copolymer gel(gel group),and porous tantalum surface coated with osteoblastic induction factor slow-release system(slow-release system group),and co-cultured for 5 days.The surface cytoskeleton of the material was observed by phalloidine staining.Cell proliferation was detected by flow cytometry.Western blot assay and RT-qPCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of type Ⅰ collagen,osteopontin,and RUNX-2 on the surface cells of the material. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Phalloidine staining showed that MG63 cells adhered to and grew on the surface and inside of the three groups of porous tantalum,and the matrix secreted by the cells covered the surface of the material.(2)Flow cytometry showed that the cell proliferation in the slow-release system group was faster than that in the control group and the gel group(P<0.05).(3)Western blot assay and RT-qPCR showed that the protein and mRNA expressions of type Ⅰ collagen,osteopontin,and RUNX-2 in the slow-release system group were higher than those in the control group and gel group(P<0.05).(4)The results showed that the domestic porous tantalum modified by the osteogenic induction factor slow-release system was beneficial to the adhesion,proliferation,and differentiation of MG63 osteoblasts.

Objective To analyze the pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis(PDAP),and provide a clinical reference for the rational use of antibiotics.Methods The demographic data of PDAP patients admitted to the peritoneal dialysis(PD)Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 1,2015 to December 30,2021 were collected,and the pathogens,drug resistance and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 150 episodes of PDAP occurred in 92 patients.The positive rate of PD fluid culture was 61.33％,including 65 cases(70.65％)of Gram-positive(G+)bacteria,mainly Staphylococcus and Streptococcus.Gram-negative(G-)bacteria were in 16 cases(17.39％),mainly Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae.There were 11 cases(11.96％)of multiple infections,including 5 cases of combined fungal infection.From 2016 to 2021,the incidence of G+bacteria-related PDAP decreased from 14 to 8 cases.G+strains were resistant to methicillin(35.00％),and were sensitive to linezolid(100.00％),teicoplanin(100.00％)and rifampicin(100.00％).The sensitivity rate to vancomycin was 98.59％.G-strains were sensitive to ceftazidime(86.36％),ceftizoxime(88.89％)and amikacin(100.00％).The MIC of vancomycin against Staphylococcus showed an upward trend in 2019-2021.The overall cure rate of PDAP was 81.33％in patients who responded to antibiotic treatment,and the cure rate of G+bacteria was higher than that of multiple infections(89.23％vs.36.36％,P＜0.01).The outcome of patients with multiple infections,especially those with concurrent fungal infection was poor.Conclusion The incidence of PDAP in the PD center has shown a decreasing trend in recent years.G+bacteria are still the main pathogenic bacteria causing PDAP,and they are highly resistant to methicillin,so vancomycin should be used as empirical therapy.For G-bacteria,cefotaxime and amikacin can be chosen as empirical therapy.There is a drift in the MIC values of vancomycin against Staphylococcus in the study period,so it is necessary to monitor the MIC of vancomycin against Staphylococcus and its changing trend.

Objective:To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) trajectories in children and adolescents and subclinical renal damage (SRD) in adulthood.Methods:4 623 participants aged 6-18 years old were recruited from the ongoing cohort of Hanzhong adolescent hypertension study in 1987, and the subjects were followed up in 1989, 1992, 1995, 2005, 2013 and 2017, respectively. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify distinct BMI trajectories in longitudinal analysis. Generalized linear model was applied to examine the association between different BMI trajectories and SRD incidence in adulthood.Results:A total of 2 678 subjects from childhood to adulthood were enrolled in this study. All subjects were divided into three groups according to three distinct BMI trajectories: low-increasing BMI group ( n=1 017), moderate-increasing BMI group ( n=1 353), and high-increasing BMI group ( n=308). Over follow up for 30 years, a total of 248 participants (9.3%) developed SRD. Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) in low to high-increasing BMI group was 0.9(0.6, 1.4), 1.0(0.7, 1.7), 1.6(0.8, 3.2), respectively ( P trend<0.001), and estimated glomerular filtration rate was 98.5(87.6, 111.6) , 96.2(86.4, 109.7), 95.3 (87.5, 125.0) ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1, respectively ( P trend=0.025). The generalized linear model analysis showed that uACR was increased linearly from low to high-increasing BMI group [ β=3.16(95% CI 1.02-5.31), Ptrend=0.004]. There was no correlation or linear trend between BMI trajectory and estimated glomerular filtration rate [ β=-2.30(95% CI-5.18-0.57), Ptrend=0.117]. Compared with the low-increasing BMI group, the high-increasing BMI group had greater odds of experiencing SRD in adulthood after adjusting for multiple confounders such as age, gender, medical history and lifestyle ( OR=2.83, 95% CI 1.84-4.36, Ptrend<0.001). Conclusions:Higher BMI trajectorie is correlated with higher level of uACR and risk of SRD in middle age. Identifying long-term BMI trajectorie from early age may assist in predicting individuals′ renal function in later life.

Objective:To understand the reported incidence level, change of the trend, epidemic characteristics and spatial clustering of scrub typhus in Nanjing, to explore key seasons, populations and areas for prevention and control, and to guide formulation of scientific and precise prevention and control strategies and measures.Methods:The reported data of scrub typhus in Nanjing from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2020 were collected in the "Infectious Disease Surveillance System" from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The reported incidence level and change of the trend were analyzed, and the seasonal, population and spatial distribution characteristics were described. Global spatial autocorrelation analysis was carried out by ArcGIS 10.3 software, and the spatial clustering scanning was carried out by using FleXScan 3.1.2 software.Results:A total of 192 cases of scrub typhus were reported in Nanjing from 2011 to 2020. Median annual reported incidence was 0.21/100 000 (0.12/100 000 - 0.49/100 000). Totally 87.5% (168/192) of cases were reported from October to November, and the peak occurred in November (57.8%, 111/192). Among these cases, males accounted for 64.1% (123/192); and the median age was 59 years old (6 - 84 years old). The groups ≥60 years old and 45 - 59 years old accounted for 47.9% (92/192) and 31.2% (60/192), respectively, which accounted for 79.2% (152/192) in all groups. Farmers accounted for 43.8% (84/192), household chores and unemployed people accounted for 16.7% (32/192), retired persons accounted for 15.6% (30/192) and workers accounted for 6.8% (13/192), which accounted for 82.8% (159/192) in all occupations. The top four areas in the total number of reported cases were Jiangning District (23.4%, 45/192), Luhe District (22.9%, 44/192), Gulou District (10.4%, 20/192) and Jiangbei New Area (8.9%, 17/192), which accounted for 65.6% (126/192) in all districts. According to global spatial autocorrelation analysis, Moran's I = 0.34 ( Z = 5.90, P < 0.001). FlexScan 3.1.2 software scanned and detected two spatial clusters areas, the first-class of cluster area covered three streets in Jiangning District, one street in Yuhuatai District and two streets in Pukou District [restricted log likelihood ratio ( RLLR) = 26.91, P < 0.001]. The second-class of cluster area included six townships/streets in Luhe District and four streets in Jiangbei New Area ( RLLR = 26.48, P < 0.001). All the cluster areas were agriculture-related. Conclusions:The reported incidence level of scrub typhus in Nanjing is low and stable which belongs to a typical autumn epidemic area. The middle-aged and elderly population is the key population and the agriculture-related area is key area. It is suggested that scrub typhus should be included in the management of statutory or regional key infectious diseases in Nanjing. Additionally, training on diagnosis and treatment technology and information report management of scrub typhus need to be carried out, and comprehensive prevention and control interventions such as health education, personal protection, rodent prevention and control and vector control should be strengthened and implemented in the high incidence season.
