Objective No consensus has yet been achieved on the relationship of serum albumin with the functional out-come of acute ischemic stroke.The aim of our study was to determine whether the serum albumin level was associated with the short-term functional outcome of acute ischemic stroke in well-nourished patients. Methods Totally, 113 patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were recruited from Nanjing Stroke Registration Program between January and June 2015.Baseline data including de-mographic and body parameters, vascular risk factors, and laboratory results were collected.The NIH Stroke Scale ( NIHSS) was used to evaluate the severity of neurological deficits and the modified Rankin Scale ( mRS ) employed to assess the short-term functional outcome.According to the mRS at discharge, the patients were divided into a good outcome group ( mRS<3 ) and a poor out-come group ( mRS≥3 ) .The independent predictors of the short-term functional outcome were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 113 acute ischemic stroke patients included, 52 (46.0%) were in the good outcome group, and 61 (54.0%) in the poor outcome group.Those in the former group had a significantly higher BMI, lower serum LDL-C, lower WBC count, and lower NIHSS at admission than those in the latter .Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low serum albumin, NIHSS at admission, and arteriole occlusion were independent predictors of the poor short-term functional outcome ( OR=0.684, 95% CI:0.490-0.956, P=0.026). Conclusion Low serum albumin is an independent predictor of poor short-term functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients in well-nourished status.

Objective:To analyze the value of peritumoral vascular invasion (PVI) on the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.Methods:A total of 232 patients with primary osteosarcoma from 2007 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 142 males and 90 females. The average age was 17.9±8.2 years (range, 3-39 years). There were 22 positive and 210 negative cases of PVI, 94 deaths and 138 survivals. Univariate survival analysis (Log-rank test and univariate Cox regression) was used to evaluate the effects of age, gender, PVI status, tumor location, surgical method, sensitivity to chemotherapy, and chemotherapy regimen on the prognosis of osteosarcoma. The indicators with statistically significant differences were included in the multivariate Cox regression model to finally determine the risk factors affecting the prognosis of osteosarcoma. The relationship between PVI status and 5-year survival and the incidence of recurrence or metastasis was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results:All patients were followed up for 7.6±4.5 years (range, 0.1-15 years). The differences in sensitivity to chemotherapy (χ 2=9.52, P=0.002), choice of chemotherapy regimen (χ 2=8.87, P=0.012), choice of surgical modality (χ 2=13.50, P<0.001), tumor metastasis rate (χ 2=8.51, P=0.004) and mortality rate (χ 2=5.39, P= 0.020) of PVI positive group and PVI negative group had statistically significant differences. Univariate survival analysis was performed on 232 patients with osteosarcoma (gender, age, PVI status, site of tumor development, surgical modality, sensitivity to chemotherapy, and chemotherapy regimen). Indicators with statistically significant differences were included in a multifactorial Cox regression model. The results showed PVI positive [5-year survival rate: HR=2.02, 95% CI (1.61, 2.79), P=0.010; 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate: HR=2.25, 95% CI (1.55, 3.14), P<0.001], surgical procedure as amputation [5-year survival rate: HR=1.22, 95% CI (0.94, 1.78), P=0.037; 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate: HR=1.58, 95% CI (1.11, 2.23), P=0.026] and poor sensitivity to chemotherapy [5-year survival rate: HR=2.71, 95% CI (1.84, 3.98), P=0.001; 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate: HR=2.52, 95% CI (1.88, 3.45), P<0.001] was associated with poor prognosis. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the 5-year survival rate of PVI positive group was 34%, which was lower than 68% of PVI negative group. The 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate was 72% in the PVI negative group, which was significantly higher than 38% in the PVI negative group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The 5-year survival rate of PVI positive group was lower than that of PVI negative group, and the 5-year recurrence or metastasis rate was higher than that of PVI negative group. The presence of microvascular angiosarcoma plugs infiltrating the peritumoral tissue in surgical specimens of osteosarcoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a useful indicator to assess the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma.

Objective:To analyze the impact of global budget on the medical flow treatment and fund allocation in a non-compact medical community based on the symbiosis theory, so as to provide references for relevant authorities to formulate policies for the medical community.Methods:Data on outpatient and emergency visits, discharges, and medical insurance fund usage of the leading hospital and primary medical and health institutions in a non-compact medical community were collected from the health information system of a certain city. The time range of the data spanned from January 2017 to December 2019. The total budget was implemented in April 2018. The symbiotic system of the non-compact medical community was analyzed based on the theory of symbiosis. Descriptive analysis and intermittent time series segmented regression model were used to analyze the changes in indexes related to the flow of medical treatment and fund allocation between the leading hospital and primary institutions under the global budget.Results:The non-compact medical community′s symbiotic system had developed a continuous symbiotic model in organization and an asymmetric reciprocal symbiotic model in behavior. From the perspective of medical treatment flow, the number of outpatient and emergency visits of leading hospital and primary institutions in the medical community showed an upward trend, with little change in the number of discharged patients from 2017 to 2019; The number of patients transferred by the leading hospital increased from 32 in 2017 to 87 in 2019. According to the analysis of the intermittent time series segmented regression model, after the implementation of global budget, the proportion of outpatient and emergency visits in leading hospital was decreased ( β3=-0.43, P<0.05), the proportion of outpatient and emergency visits in primary institutions was on the rise ( β3= 0.02, P<0.05). In terms of fund allocation, the share of health insurance fund of the leading hospital increased from 45.98% in 2017 to 46.51% in 2019, and the primary medical and health institutions decreased from 23.44% to 18.06%, as well as the ratio of per capita income of primary medical and health institutions to that of leading hospitals was decreased from 72.62% to 60.79%. Conclusions:Under the global budget, the outpatient and emergency medical treatment flow in a non-compact medical community had been optimized. However, there was an uneven distribution of funds among medical institutions at all levels. Thus it was recommended to continue to give full play to the positive incentive effect of the global budget, establish a scientific mechanism for distributing benefits, and strengthen supervision and management.

Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Statins delay the occurrence and development of ASCVD, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and death. Due to safety concerns, there exist insufficient use of lipid-lowering agents and a high withdrawal rate of the agents in the elderly. To promote the prevention and treatment of ASCVD, this expert consensus is issued and focuses on the management of dyslipidemia of Chinese elderly basing on the clinical evidence of the use of lipid-lowering drugs by the elderly, and the lipid management guidelines and expert consensus recommendations at home and abroad.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) combined with inhalation of pulmonary surfactant (PS) using vibrating mesh nebulizers in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).Methods:A prospective study was performed on premature infants with RDS admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College between December 2020 and June 2021. They were randomly assigned into vibrating mesh atomization technology group and intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) technology group. The two groups were treated with NCPAP combined with PS. PS in the vibrating mesh atomization technology group was inhaled into the lungs by the new vibrating mesh atomization technology, while PS in the INSURE group was injected into the lungs by endotracheal tube. The pH value, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube (MVET) demand rate, duration of respiratory support, secondary use of PS, complications, and hospital mortality were compared between the two groups. The occurrences of adverse events in the two groups were recorded. Results:A total of 42 preterm infants were finally enrolled, including 20 cases in the vibrating mesh atomization technology group and 22 cases in the INSURE technology group. There were no significant differences in blood gas analysis and PaO 2/FiO 2 before PS administration between the two groups. One hour after PS administration, blood gas analysis and PaO 2/FiO 2 were significantly improved in both groups. Compared with the INSURE technology group, the improvement of PaO 2/FiO 2 was more obvious in the vibrating mesh atomization technology group [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 198±34 vs. 173±39, P < 0.05], but no significant difference in pH value or PaCO 2 was found between the two groups. The duration of respiratory support in the vibrating mesh atomization technology group was significantly shorter than that in the INSURE technology group (hours: 96±13 vs. 120±18, P < 0.01), but there was no statistical difference in MVET demand rate [5.0% (1/20) vs. 13.6% (3/22), P > 0.05]. The incidence of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PVH-IVH) in the vibrating mesh atomization technology group was less than that in the INSURE technology group [0% (0/20) vs. 18.2% (4/22)], but no statistical difference was found ( P > 0.05). No significant differences in the secondary use rate of PS and incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or other complications were found between the vibrating mesh atomization technology group and the INSURE technology group [5.0% (1/20) vs. 9.1% (2/22), 5.0% (1/20) vs. 4.5% (1/22), both P > 0.05]. There were no deaths or serious adverse events such as pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in both groups. Conclusion:Compared with the INSURE technique, NCPAP combined with vibrating mesh atomization technology was also effective and safe in the treatment of RDS, which could significantly improve PaO 2/FiO 2 and shorten the duration of respiratory support. Thus, it was worthy of clinical popularization and application.

【Objective】 To investigate the safety of regular plasma donors aged 55 to 60, so as to provide reference for retention and recruitment of elderly plasma donors in China. 【Methods】 Plasma donors from 9 blood products manufacturing enterprises from 2018 to 2020 and the local general population were selected as the research objects. The total protein level, albumin and globulin ratio(ALB/GLB, A/G) and adverse reactions of plasma donation of regular plasma donors and local general population were retrospectively analyzed. 【Results】 The total protein level (g/L) and A/G of plasma donors aged 56 to 60 and the general population were 61.21±5.62 vs 60.04±6.93 and 1.610±0.299 vs 1.635±0.330, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant. The total protein level of regular plasma donors was higher than that of general population, but A/G was slightly lower than that of general population. From 2018 to 2020, there were a total of 23 056 302 plasma donations in 108 plasma stations, and adverse reactions occurred in 20 932 donations, with a total incidence of 0.09%, with no serious adverse reactions. 【Conclusion】 It is safe for regular plasma donors aged 55 to 60 to donate plasma, and the retention of them can alleviate the pressure of plasma supply.

ObjectiveTo establish a rat model of diabetic wound by feeding on a high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and surgical preparation of full-thickness skin defects, observe the effect of cinnamaldehyde on the wound healing of diabetes rats, and explore the therapeutic mechanism of cinnamaldehyde in improving wound healing of diabetes rats based on the PTEN-induced putative kinase (PINK1)/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy. MethodForty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group (n=12) and diabetes group (n=36). The diabetes group was further randomly divided into model group, cinnamaldehyde group, and Beifuxin group, with 12 rats in each group. The blank group and the model group received routine disinfection with physiological saline after creating the wounds, while the cinnamaldehyde group received topical application of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) gel containing 4 μmol·L-1 cinnamaldehyde, and the Beifuxin group received topical application of Beifuxin gel. Dressings were changed once daily. The wound healing rate of each group was observed. On the 7th and 14th days after intervention, the wound tissues of the rats were collected. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the pathological changes in the local tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and collagen fibers. Immunofluorescence (IF) and Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the protein, and mRNA expression of PINK1, Parkin, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3 Ⅱ). ResultAfter intraperitoneal injection of STZ, compared with the blank group, the random blood glucose values of rats in the diabetic group increased significantly (P<0.01), all higher than 16.7 mmol·L-1, and persistently hyperglycemic for some time after modeling. Compared with the blank group, the model group showed poor growth and healing of granulation tissue in the wounds, and the wound healing rate decreased (P<0.01). On the 7th day after intervention, the blank group had squamous epithelial coverage on the wounds. Compared with the blank group, the model group only had a small amount of scab at the wound edges, with a large number of infiltrating inflammatory cells in the wounds. The protein expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the tissues increased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ decreased (P<0.01). On the 14th day after the intervention, the granulation tissue in the wounds of the blank group was mature and well-healed. Compared with the blank group, the model group still had infiltrating inflammatory cells and red blood cell exudation. The protein expression levels of VEGF and collagen fibers in the tissues decreased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the cinnamaldehyde group and the Beifuxin group showed better wound healing, with increased wound healing rates (P<0.01). On the 7th day after intervention, the protein expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the tissues decreased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ increased (P<0.01). On the 14th day after intervention, the protein expression levels of VEGF and collagen fibers in the tissues increased (P<0.01), and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3Ⅱ decreased (P<0.01). ConclusionCinnamaldehyde can promote the wound healing of diabetes rats by increasing the wound healing rate, reducing the levels of inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α, and increasing the levels of VEGF and collagen fibers. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway, activation of mitochondrial autophagy, inhibition of inflammatory responses, and promotion of angiogenesis and collagen synthesis, thereby promoting the wound healing of diabetes rats.

Objective:
To compare the long-term dental treatment effects, oral health habits and oral-health-related qualities of life of children treated under general anesthesia (GA) and passive restraint (PR), respectively.
Methods:
Twenty seven 2 to 4-year-old children treated under GA and thirty four children treated under PR were recruited in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Up to 2 years after the treatment, a follow up assessment was conducted. The data of general information, dental plaque level and the unplanned treatments were recorded and analyzed. The questionnaire of oral health habits and early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS) for each child was also completed and analyzed. The survival rate and median survival time of the deciduous teeth were calculated. Multivariate analysis was performed by using Cox proportional hazard model.
Results:
Twenty-five children under GA and 32 under PR were finally included, with a total of 1 098 deciduous teeth. The postoperative dental plaque indicesin both GA and PR groups had significantly improved than that of before the treatments (
