Objective To survey the situation of spinal cord injuries (SCI) in Beijing.Methods China Rehabilitation Research Center and Information Center of Beijing Health Bureau sponsored the surveillance of 86 hospitals in Beijing which had hospitalized SCI patients in 2002. The faculty of surveillance was composed of trained professionals. The number of registered SCI patients in 2002 was 1077, and 264 patients in 11 hospitals were chosen to be investigated in detail according to stratified sampling result.Results There were 1077 registered patients with a neurological deficit and the annual SCI incidence was 60 per million. The ratio of male to female was 3:1 and the ratio of cervical, thoracic, lumbar injuries and others is 4.9%, 28%, 66.7%, 0.4% respectively. The mean age at the time of injury was 41 years. The causes most frequently seen were falls from a height and traffic accidents. The mean time of hospitalization was 18.9 days and the mean expenditure of hospitalization was 27819.3 RMB. Four patients were transferred to rehabilitation hospitals, and others went homes directly after discharge.Conclusion There are many reasons for the high annual SCI incidence in Beijing and the first SCI cause was falling from a height, which should be pay special attention when the prevention measures are taken into account. The rate of SCI patients who received systemic medical rehabilitation was low.

ObjectiveTo investigate the living condition of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) after Tangshan earthquake.MethodsA questionnaire was designed for the investigation with 41 items including resident environment, income, mood, etc. The faculty of surveillance was composed of trained professionals. 1261 SCI patients living in Tangshan at present, 420 of which live in the sanatoriums and others live in the common families. The patients of four sanatoriums were chosen randomly from fourteen sanatoriums to be investigated in detail, and patients in the common families in two communities, one from city, another from countryside, were also chosen. This investigation was performed in 2003.The results are compared with that of 1988' survey.ResultsGreat improvements in the living condition of SCI patients in Tangshan were shown by the comparison of these two surveys, they were mainly in: the progress in the housing environments (100% SCI patients now live in the specially designed reconstructed houses); better medical services provided (the ratio of wheelchair available from 38.1% to 100%); the majority of the patients in acceptance stage of their disability; the increase of income (21.1% takes up various occupation) with a vigorous spare time; decrease in the common complications with SCI patients; although uremia was still the first death cause of the SCI patients, the percentage was decreased apparently; cardiovascular accident had a higher percentage in the death cause(the second leading cause), implies that the death cause of the SCI survivors had approached the normal person.ConclusionThe improvements reflect the social progress in China. However, still there are some problems to be remained for further solution: the ratio of employment is low; the insurance of living and medical rehabilitation needs further improvement.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and prognosis of severe infant botulism and evaluate the therapeutic effect of botulinum antitoxin in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).Methods:The clinical data of 8 cases diagnosed with infantile botulism were retrospectively analyzed in the PICU of Beijing Children′s Hospital from October 2019 to August 2023. Data of basic demographic information, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment and prognosis of each child were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods.Results:Eight laboratory-confirmed cases of infant botulism were included in this study, all of which were male infants with an age of 6.0 (3.3,6.8) months. Three of the children were from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 2 of them were from Hebei, and the other 3 were from Beijing, Shandong and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, respectively. All the patients were previously healthy. In 4 of these cases, the possible cause was the ingestion of either honey and its products or sealed pickled food by the mother or child before the onset of the disease. The first symptom was poor milk intake (4 cases), followed by shallow shortness of breath (7 cases), limb weakness (7 cases) and so on. The typical signs were bilateral dilated pupils (8 cases) and decreased limb muscle strength (8 cases). The main subtype was type B (7 cases), and only 1 case was classified as type A. Six of the children were treated with antitoxin therapy for a duration of 24 (19, 49) d. Seven of them had invasive mechanical ventilation. All the patients survived upon discharge with a follow-up period of 29 d to 3 years and 8 months. Six patients had fully recovered, and 2 recently discharged patients were gradually recovering.Conclusions:For infants with suspected contact or ingestion of botulinum and presented with bilateral pupillary paralysis, muscle weakness and clear consciousness, the stool should be collected for diagnostic testing using a mouse bioassay as soon as possible. Type B was the most common type. The antitoxin treatment was effectiveness and the prognosis was well.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of autoantibodies in patients with liver disease.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the data of 1 495 outpatients or inpatients with liver disease in Beijing Ditan Hospital of Capital Medical University from August 2020 to April 2021. Indirect immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect antinuclear antibody (ANA) and antinuclear antibodies (ANAs).Results:ANA and ANAs were positive in patients with liver diseases of various etiologies. Among 1 495 patients with liver disease, 494 cases were ANA positive, the positive rate was 33.04%; 573 cases were positive for ANAs, the positive rate was 38.33%. The positive rate of ANA in the immune liver disease group (63.37%) was higher than that in the viral, alcoholic, fatty liver, confounding factors and other liver disease groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The ANA positive rate between the viral, alcoholic, fatty liver, and confounding factor groups was statistically significant ( χ2=19.823, P<0.01), the positive rate of ANAs in the immune liver disease group (80.23%) was higher than that in other liver disease groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The antibody titer of immune liver disease group was mainly 1∶1000, and other liver disease etiology groups was mainly 1∶100. The two most common fluorescent karyotypes in liver disease groups of different etiologies are cytoplasmic and nuclear granular types. The most common specific antibody in the immune liver disease group was anti-mitochondrial antibody type 2 (anti-AMA-M2) antibody, the most common anti-Ro-52 antibody in viral, drug-induced, complex etiology, and other etiological groups, and the most common anti-SSA antibody in alcoholic liver disease. Anti-SSA antibody (17.44%), anti-SSB antibody (9.30%), anti-CENP-B antibody (22.09%), anti-Ro-52 antibody (41.28%), anti-AMA-M2 antibody (51.74%) were positive in immune liver disease group, The rate was higher than that of other liver disease etiology groups, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). When the ANA fluorescence karyotype is nuclear granule type, the positive rate of anti-CENP-B antibody, anti-Ro-52 antibody, and anti-AMA-M2 antibody in the immune liver disease group was higher than that in the viral liver disease group ( P<0.01), The positive rate of anti-Ro-52 antibody was higher than that of drug-induced liver disease group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The ANA titer of autoimmune liver disease was mainly (1∶1 000). ANAs were mainly positive for anti-SSA antibody, anti-SSB antibody, anti-CENP-B antibody, anti-Ro-52 antibody, and anti-AMA-M2 antibody, especially anti-AMA-M2 antibody. When combined with ANA fluorescent karyotype and ANAs for analysis, if the fluorescent karyotype is nuclear particle type, the positive anti-Ro-52 antibody in ANAs is more valuable in distinguishing immunity from viral and drug-induced liver diseases.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of parallel combined flow-through perforator flaps in the treatment of circular hot crush injuries in limbs with blood supply disorder.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From April 2016 to December 2022, 4 cases with circular hot crush injuries in limbs with blood supply disorder were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the 988 th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA, including 3 males and 1 female, aged from 24 to 48 years. Among them, 2 cases were injured in the calf and 2 cases were injured in the forearm. After emergency debridement, the area of skin and soft tissue defects was from 20 cm×20 cm to 44 cm×20 cm. The patients had defects in tibialis anterior and posterior tibial arteries with a length of 13 to 18 cm, and in ulnar and radial arteries with a length of 9 to 12 cm. Flaps were designed and cut, including a flow-through anterolateral thigh perforator flap with area of 20 cm×9 cm to 24 cm×21 cm carrying the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery and the accompanying veins of 8 to 18 cm in length; and a flow-through posterior tibial artery perforator flap with area of 21 cm×13 cm and 20 cm×14 cm carrying the posterior tibial artery, the accompanying veins with a length of 14 and 17 cm respectively, and the great saphenous vein with a length of 22 and 21 cm. The circular hot crush injury wounds in the calf with blood supply disorder were repaired by a parallel combination of flow-through posterior tibial artery perforator flap and flow-through anterolateral thigh perforator flap, and the circular hot crush injury wounds in the forearm with blood supply disorder were repaired by a parallel combination of bilateral flow-through anterolateral thigh perforator flap, and the injured main vessels were reconstructed. The donor site wounds of flap were closed directly or treated with split-thickness skin grafts from abdomen. After surgery, the blood supply and survival of the flap and distal affected limb, the healing of wounds in the donor and recipient sites, the survival of the skin graft in the flap donor site were observed. During follow-up, the condition of flaps, the appearance, blood supply, and function of affected limbs were observed. At the last follow-up, the foot and ankle functions were evaluated according to the scoring standards of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association, and the wrist and hand function was evaluated according to the trial standard of replantation of amputated upper limb function assessment of the Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association. Results:The flaps and distal affected limbs of 4 patients had good blood circulation and successfully survived after surgery. The wounds of 3 cases successfully healed, while one patient with circular hot crush injury in the forearm experienced exudation in the recipient site in the later stage, and the wound healed after re-expansion and suturing. The donor site wounds healed smoothly, and the skin grafts successfully survived. During follow-up of 12 to 24 months after surgery, the flaps were slightly swollen, the limbs had good appearance, normal blood circulation, and fine functional recovery. At the last follow-up, the foot and ankle function of 2 patients with circular hot crush injuries in the calf was evaluated as good in 1 case and commonly in 1 case; the wrist and hand function of 2 patients with circular hot crush injuries in the forearm was evaluated as excellent in 1 case and good in 1 case.Conclusions:The parallel combined flow-through perforator flap can reconstruct the damaged main blood vessels and repair the wound at the same time. It can not only effectively save the limb, but also restore part of the function of the affected limb. It is one of the effective methods to treat the circular hot crush injuries in limbs with blood supply disorder.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, CBM, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine (trial group) versus chemical medicine (control group) in the treatment of heart failure with coronary heart disease were collected during the inception to August 2022. After literature screening and data extraction, the qualities of included literature were evaluated and rated by using Cochrane manual and GRADE system. Meta-analysis and Egger’s were performed with RevMan 5.3 software, and TSA 0.9.5.10 Beta software was used for trial sequential analysis. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included, with a total sample of 1 355 patients. The quality grade evidence of GRADE was all low. Meta-analysis showed that cardiac function efficacy [RR=1.23, 95%CI (1.16,1.30), P<0.000 01], the decrease of brain natriuretic peptide [MD=-96.06, 95%CI (-116.47, -75.64), P<0.000 01] and the increase of left ventricular ejection fraction [MD=5.32, 95%CI (4.03,6.60), P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly better than control group; there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups [RR=0.52,95%CI(0.22,1.22),P=0.13]. The results of sequential analysis showed that the sample size included in this study met the requirements of meta-analysis; the results of Egger’s test showed that the results were robust and publication bias had no significant effect on the results. CONCLUSIONS Shenfu injection combined with chemical medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease combined with heart failure can further improve the clinical symptoms and related indicators, and no serious adverse reaction is observed.
