Objective To evaluate the correlating clinical factors of coronary artery calcification score(CACS).Methods 141 patients suspected of coronary artery disease were included.They underwent multi-slice row computed tomography,pulse wave velocity ( PWV ),UCG and blood biochemistry within a period of 3 months.The subjects were divided into three groups according to CAC score:A(CACS =0-10),B ( CACS = 11-400),C ( CACS > 400).Results CACS was significantly associated with age,history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus.It was also associated with the presence of mitral annular calcification and aortic valve calcification,low ankel brachial pressure index(ABI) and high mean artery pressure(MAP) as well as high values of brachial ankel PWV (baPWV) and Upstroke time (UT).Muhifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of aortic valve calcification and mitral annular calcification,the history of diabetes mellitus and high value of UT were independently correlated with severe coronary artery calcification.Conclusions Aortic valve calcification,mitral annular calcification,history of diabetes mellitus,high value of UT were independently correlated with severe coronary artery calcification.Measurement of PWV and UCG should be performed before muhi-slicerow computed tomography,because the assessment of coronary artery lumen narrowing with multi-slice row computed tomography can not be carried out accurately in the presence of severe coronary artery calcification.

BACKGROUNDTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is more complex than the normal hip, with large replacement risks and many complications. Although nonosteotomy THA is convenient to perform, femoral osteotomy shortening can avoid blood vessel and nerve traction injuries. This study aimed to compare osteotomy THA with nonosteotomy to determine reasonable options for operative management of DDH.
METHODSData on 48 DDH patients who underwent THA were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A 29 cases (nonosteotomy), and group B 19 cases (osteotomy). Harris and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, limb length discrepancy (LLD), radiological data on the hip, and claudication were evaluated. Data were analyzed by using paired-sample Student's t-test, independent-sample Student's t-test, and Pearson's Chi-square test; the test level was α =0.05.
RESULTSPostoperative Harris (90.7 ± 5.1) and WOMAC scores (88.0 ± 10.6) were significantly improved compared with preoperative Harris (44.8 ± 5.7) and WOMAC scores (42.0 ± 5.3) in group A (P < 0.05). Postoperative Harris (90.4 ± 2.8) and WOMAC scores (88.2 ± 5.9) were significantly improved compared with preoperative Harris (44.4 ± 4.2) and WOMAC scores (43.2 ± 4.3) in group B (P < 0.05). One case of dislocation occurred in group A; after closed reduction, dislocation did not recur. In group A, 2 patients developed cutaneous branch injury of the femoral nerve, which spontaneously recovered without treatment. Postoperative LLD >2 cm was seen in one case in group A and five cases in group B. Postoperative claudication showed no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). No patients developed infection; postoperative X-rays showed that the location of the prosthesis was satisfactory, and the surrounding bone was not dissolved.
CONCLUSIONSTHA is effective and safe for DDH. For unilateral high dislocation DDH patients with limb lengthening ≤4 cm and good tissue conditions, THA without femoral osteotomy may be considered.

Objective To compare the response measures and outcomes of SARS-CoV(2003), H1N1 influenza(2009), H7N9 influenza(2013)and COVID-19(2020)in Shanghai and provide scientific evidence for the emergency response of public health emergencies. Methods We compared the response measures and outcomes of the four epidemics in Shanghai in the aspects of government response, prevention and control system, scientific and technological support, social mobilization and prevention effects, using critical incident analysis based on the time axis of the epidemics from literature review. Results In response to the four epidemics of infectious diseases occurred in 2003-2020, Shanghai has generally made some significant effort and flexible measures in the first month of the epidemics, including"closure of live poultry markets"and"three closed-loops and four 100% coverage"and other specific prevention and control measures, which have enhanced the prevention and control system. However, we identified that the construction of prevention and control system for public health emergencies remained inefficient, compared to rapid economic development. The majority of the construction measures were principally post-epidemic. In addition, there were many challenges, such as passive response, temporary response teams and measures, and difficulties in the flexible bottom-up response for residents, families and industries without standard operating procedure and guidelines. Conclusion It may be an effective measure for the prevention and control of infectious diseases to build joint prevention and control measures with mass participation and regular drills, in the perspectives of strategic, tactical and operational levels of epidemic prevention and control.

BACKGROUNDAfter establishing a murine model of aminoglycoside antibiotic (AmAn) induced ototoxicity, the sensitivity of AmAn induced ototoxicity in three murine strains and the effect of kanamycin on the expression of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter-1 (NKCC1) in stria vascularis were investigated.
METHODSC57BL/6J, CBA/CaJ, NKCC1(+/-) mice (24 of each strain) were randomly divided into four experimental groups: A: kanamycin alone; B: kanamycin plus 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoate; C: 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoate alone; and D: control group. Mice were injected with kanamycin or/and 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoate twice daily for 14 days. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) was measured and morphology of cochlea delineated with succinate dehydrogenase staining. Expression of NKCC1 in stria vascularis was detected immunohistochemically.
RESULTSAll three strains in groups A and B developed significant ABR threshold shifts (P < 0.01), which were accompanied by outer hair cell loss. NKCC1 expression in stria vascularis was the weakest in group A (A cf D, P < 0.01) and the strongest in groups C and D (P < 0.05). CBA/CaJ mice had the highest sensitivity to AmAn.
CONCLUSIONSAdministration of kanamycin established AmAn induced ototoxicity. Kanamycin inhibited the expression of NKCC1 in stria vascularis. 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoate attenuated AmAn induced ototoxicity-possibly by enhancing the expression of NKCC1. Age related hearing loss did not show additional sensitivity to AmAn induced ototoxicity in murine model.

Objective:To construct a nomogram model that can be used to predict thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture.Methods:The clinical data of 54 patients with splenectomy in Lu′an People′s Hospital from November 2016 to November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, postoperative thrombocytosis occurred in 33 cases (postoperative thrombocytosis group), and 21 cases had no significant changes in platelets (postoperative platelet normal group). The general clinical data were recorded; the platelet parameters 14 d after operation were measured, including platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), procalcitonin (PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of platelet parameters for thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors of thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture. A nomogram model to predict thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture was established with R language software 4.0.2 package, internal validation of the nomogram model was performed using correction curves, and the prediction efficiency of the nomogram model was evaluated using decision curves.Results:The incidence of shock, rate of blood transfusion volume≥2 000 ml, platelet count and PCT in postoperative thrombocytosis group were significantly higher than those in postoperative platelet normal group: 69.70% (23/33) vs. 19.05% (4/21), 66.67% (22/33) vs. 38.10% (8/21), (823.56 ± 129.81) ×10 9/L vs. (521.92 ± 85.89) ×10 9/L, (0.87 ± 0.11)% vs. (0.54 ± 0.09)%, the MPV and PDW were significantly lower than those in postoperative platelet normal group: (10.23 ± 1.03) fl vs. (11.57 ± 0.92) fl and 0.113 ± 0.012 vs. 0.125 ± 0.020, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). ROC curve analysis results show that the area under curve of platelet count, MPV, PCT and PDW in for predicting the thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture were 0.973, 0.835, 0.987 and 0.734, and the optimal cut-off values were 642.29 ×10 9/L, 11.02 fl, 0.7% and 0.120. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the platelet count, MPV, PCT, PDW, shock and blood transfusion volume were independent risk factors for thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture ( OR = 1.571, 1.243, 1.042, 1.413, 1.436 and 1.726; 95% CI 0.014 to 1.762, 0.743 to 2.862, 0.954 to 2.563, 0.584 to 2.389, 0.045 to 2.643 and 0.154 to 2.143; P<0.01 or <0.05). When platelet count, MPV, PCT, PDW, shock and blood transfusion volume were included as predictors for constructing the nomogram model, the internal validation results showed that the C-index of the nomogram model for predicting thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture was 0.793 (95% CI 0.267 to 2.311); the threshold value of the nomogram model for predicting thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture was >0.067, and the nomogram model provided a net clinical benefit; the clinical net benefit of the nomogram model was greater than that of platelet count, MPV, PCT, PDW, shock and blood transfusion volume. Conclusions:The nomogram model based on platelet count, MPV, PCT, PDW, shock and blood transfusion volume that affect the high risk of thrombocytosis after splenectomy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture has great clinical value in screening and identifying high risk patients.
