Objective To explore the integration of the digital imaging medical records system and the hospital information system ( HIS), for a hospital-wide information platform for digital medical records management. Methods All the medical records were classified as " to copy and not to copy" by sampling, and an item corresponding table was developed for both HIS medical record files and imaging records copying types. The imaging copying system for paper-based medical records only covers those must-copy ones, while those medical record files without need to be copied were directly transcoded via the interface to the imaging medical records system from the HIS system. This makes digital imaging medical records complete. Results The digital imaging medical record system is thus integrated, and the cost of making imaging medical records was sizably reduced without compromising the quality and integrity of medical records. Conclusions Imaging medical records produced by copying paper-based ones are integrated with those directly sent via the interface to the imaging medical records system, forming complete digital imaging records, at a much lower cost.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of dexamethasone combined with aminophylline on perioperative airway responses in COVID-19 convalescent patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods:Sixty-eight COVID-19 convalescent patients, aged 25-57 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery, were divided into experimental group ( n=34) and control group ( n=34). In experimental group, dexamethasone 10 mg was intravenously injected at the beginning of anesthesia induction, and aminophylline 0.25 g (in 100 ml of normal saline) was intravenously infused for 10 min starting from 15 min before the end of surgery. In control group, the equal volume of normal saline was administrated instead at the same time point. Airway secretions, laryngospasm and bronchospasm were recorded from the time point before operation to 24 h after operation, and coughing was also recorded from emergence to 3 min after extubation. The blood eosinophils (EOS) count, percentage of EOS (EOS%), and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were determined, and plasma C reactive protein level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before operation and at 24 h after operation. The serum levels of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ were measured before operation, at 5 and 10 min after extubation and at 24 h after operation. Results:Compared with control group, the incidence of coughing, severity of coughing, incidence of increased airway secretion, and grade of airway secretion were significantly decreased, the levels of EOS, EOS%, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and plasma C reactive protein in peripheral blood and serum levels of interferon-γ, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α were significantly decreased after operation ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of bronchial spasm in experimental group ( P>0.05). No laryngeal spasm occurred in both groups. Conclusions:Dexamethasone combined with aminophylline can relieve the perioperative airway responses by inhibition of inflammatory responses in COVID-19 convalescent patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills combined with telmisartan tablets in the treatment of hypertensive vertigo syndrome of phlegm-heat disturbance.Methods:Randomized controlled trial was conducted. Totally 80 patients with hypertension vertigo and phlegm-heat disturbance syndrome were selected from March 2021 to August 2022 at Beijing Tongrentang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the observation objects. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received oral telmisartan tablets, while the experimental group received Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills in addition to the control group. Both groups were treated for 28 days and followed up for 1 month. The patients' room blood pressure before and after treatment was measured, and TCM syndrome scores were evaluated. The dizziness assessment rating scale (DARS) was used to evaluate the severity of dizziness, adverse reactions during treatment were recorded, drug safety was observed, and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the experimental group was 85.0% (34/40), and that of the control group was 7.5% (3/40), with statistical significance between the two groups ( χ2=48.32, P<0.001). Compared with before treatment, the experimental group had SBP [(136.63 ± 6.01) mmHg vs. (159.30 ± 9.01) mmHg, t=-21.00] and DBP [(84.48 ± 4.36) mmHg vs. (95.30 ± 3.75) mmHg, t=-13.80] after treatment; after treatment, SBP [(137.34 ± 6.39) mmHg vs. (158.00 ± 10.06) mmHg, t=-5.28] and DBP [(86.08 ± 4.43) mmHg vs. (95.18 ± 6.61) mmHg, t=-8.09] decreased in the control group ( P<0.01), but there was no statistical significance between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores in the experimental group (8.68 ± 3.39 vs. 15.12 ± 3.03, Z=-6.61) were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001), and DARS score [(8.53 ± 3.93) vs. (12.20 ± 3.95), Z=-3.63] was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.001). After treatment, the therapeutic effect index of TCM syndromes in the experimental group improved compared to before treatment in the same group. The therapeutic effect index of each symptom, from high to low, was as follows: rotation of oneself or visual objects>numbness of limbs>dry stool>dizziness and dizziness>liking cold drinks>bitter and dry mouth>red urine>red tongue, yellow coating, and greasy tongue>vomiting sticky and turbid phlegm>tinnitus>smooth pulse. There were no significant adverse reactions during the treatment of the two groups. Conclusion:Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills combined with telmisartan can reduce the blood pressure of patients with hypertensive vertigo syndrome of phlegm-heat disturbance, improve the vertigo symptoms and TCM syndromes of patients, and the efficacy evaluation is superior to that of telmisartan alone.

Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2021;46(9):949-957
Objective: Many studies have shown that respiratory syncytial virus persistent infection may be the main cause of chronic respiratory pathology. However, the mechanism is unclear. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conduction regulator (CFTR) is an apical membrane chloride channel, which is very important for the regulation of epithelial fluid, chloride ion, and bicarbonate transport. CFTR dysfunction will lead to changes in bronchial secretions and impair mucus clearance, which is related to airway inflammation. In our previous study, we observed the down-regulation of CFTR in airway epithelial cells in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infected mouse model. In this study, we further investigated the expression and function of CFTR by constructing an airway epithelial cell model of RSV persistent infection. Methods: 16HBE14o- cells were infected with RSV at 0.01 multiplicity of infection (MOI). The expression of CFTR was detected by real-time RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and Western blotting. The intracellular chloride concentration was measured by N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-6-methoxyquinolium bromide (MQAE) and the chloride current was measured by whole-cell patch clamp recording. Results:16HBE14o-cells infected with RSV were survived to successive passages of the third generation (G3), while the expression and function of CFTR was progressively decreased upon RSV infection from the first generation (G1) to G3. Exposure of 16HBE14o-cells to RSV led to the gradual increase of TGF-β1 as well as phosphorylation of Smad2 following progressive RSV infection. Disruption of TGF-β1 signaling by SB431542 prevented Smad2 phosphorylation and rescued the expression of CFTR. Conclusion:RSV infection can lead to defective CFTR function in airway epithelial cells, which may be mediated via activation of TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

Objective:
To discuss the prevalence and influential factors of stroke among population in Jiangxi Province.
Methods:
Four cities in urban areas and four counties in rural areas were selected firstly, in which two districts or townships were selected; and then three communities or villages were chosen from each district and township, respectively, using the simple random sampling (SRS) method. Finally 15 269 subjects aging 15 years old or above, living in Jiangxi Province ≥6 months were randomly selected to participate in this survey from November 2013 to August 2014. Information of population characteristics, life behavior way, individual disease history were collected through questionnaire survey, and height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, body fat rate, visceral fat index and so on were measured by instruments. Risk factors of stroke prevalence were analyzed by the unconditioned logistic regression analysis.
Results:
A total of 15 269 participants (6 267 males) from 15 364 eligible participants were included in the statistical analysis. Out of which, 7 793 participants came from urban areas, and their average age was (53.04±17.91) years old. In this study, 226 stroke patients (117 males) were found among15 269 participants, including 122 urban participants and 104 rural participants, whose average age was (67.76±9.74) years old. The prevalence of stroke was 1 480.12/100 000 in 2014, which was separately 1 866.92/100 000 and 1 210.84/100 000 among males and females. The prevalence of people aging (45-49) years old was 413.79/100 000 (6/1 450) , while which among people aging 75 years old and above was 3 311.62/100 000 (61/1 842) . The prevalence of stroke among residents in Jiangxi presented an uprising tendency with age increasing (linear-by-linear association χ2=62.23,
