Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of thunder-fire moxibustion at Dazhui (GV14) and Shenshu (BL23) in treating mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to ischemic cerebral stroke. Method Sixty patients with MCI due to ischemic cerebral stroke were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases each. The control group was intervened by joint treatment plus cognitive training, while the treatment group was by thunder-fire moxibustion in addition to that given to the control group. The two groups were evaluated by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), the major symptoms were observed, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups. The two groups were both treated for 8 weeks. Result The total effective rate was 80.0%in the treatment group, versus 70.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The selected acupoints can improve the cognition and activities of daily living (ADL) in MCI patients;thunder-fire moxibustion at Dazhui and Shenshu plus cognitive training can produce a better clinical efficacy than dry cognitive training. Therefore, we can combine thunder-fire moxibustion with modern rehabilitation to enhance the therapeutic efficacy in preventing and treating MCI.

Objective To analyze the status of occupational hazards in key positions of the small and micro book and newspaper printing enterprises in Beijing City. Methods A total of 16 small and micro printing enterprises in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. The status of occupational hazard was assessed using on-site occupational health investigations. The volatile chemical components in organic solvents such as inks and cleaning agents used in the workplace, the level of chemical hazardous agents in the air, and noise intensity were detected and analyzed. Results A total of 1 105 workers from 16 small and micro printing enterprises were included. The occupational hazard exposure rate was 22.2% (245/1 105), with chemical hazardous agents and noise exposure rates of 13.5% and 22.2%, respectively. The rate of compliance with occupational health training among the head of the enterprise and the occupational health management personnel, the regular detection rate of occupational hazards in last year, and the rate for the occupational health examination in last year were both 100.0%. The rate for annual update of occupational hazard project reporting was 93.8% (15/16). The usage rates of gas mask and noise-proof earplug were 68.8% (11/16) and 50.0% (8/16), respectively. The effectiveness rates of anti-toxic and noise-reduction facilities were 87.5% (14/16) and 62.5% (10/16). The sign setting rates of chemical hazardous agents and noise warning were 93.8% (15/16). Acetone and isopropanol were found in ink and cleaning agents in 15 printing enterprises, while toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene were found in three, two, and one enterprise, respectively. Benzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, n-hexane, and trichloroethylene were not found in all 16 enterprises. Both the exposure concentration of short term and exposure concentration of time weighted average of the above chemical hazards were lower than the lower limit of quantitation of the detection method in the workplace and work site air among the 16 printing enterprises, and none of concentration was exceeded the national standard. A total of 240 noise work sites were detected, and the national noise-exceeding rate was 11.2%(27/240). Conclusion Noise hazards are prominent in the small and micro printing enterprises in Beijing City, and attention should be paid to the prevention and protection of noise-exposure. The usage rate of personal protective equipment is not high, and the training and on-site supervision management of protective equipment wearing in workers should be strengthened.

Objective:To analyse the material basis and potential mechanism of Acanthopanax senticosus injection (ASI) in the treatment of ischemic stroke by combining UPLC-Q/TOF-MS and network pharmacology.Methods:The chemical composition of ASI was identified by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to predict the potential targets for the action of ASI in the treatment of ischemic stroke. The String database and Cytoscape software were used to construct protein interaction network maps, and the Omicshare platform was used to perform gene ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis. The DockThor platform was used for molecular docking.Results:The analysis of 53 components in ASI was firmly established and used as a basis to obtain 189 related targets of ASI for the treatment of ischemic stroke. Reverse screening showed that 25 components in ASI may be important active components in the treatment of ischemic stroke. Functional enrichment studies found that ASI may mainly regulate PI3K-Akt signaling pathway to treat ischemic stroke.Conclusion:This study preliminarily predicted the mechanism of ASI in the treatment of ischemic stroke may be related to inhibition of inflammation, antioxidant stress, promotion of angiogenesis and protection of nerve cells.

BACKGROUND:Talus cartilage injury is a common motor system disease.This type of injury will affect the patient's daily life and work ability,and may worsen the condition if left untreated.Surgical treatment is commonly used,but the selection of surgical methods and the evaluation of medium-and long-term follow-up results have always been difficult clinical problems. OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of T1ρ technique on the range of quantitative evaluation of talus osteochondral injury on the choice of surgical method and the results of medium-and long-term follow-up. METHODS:A total of 154 patients with osteochondral injury of talus admitted to The Second Hospital of Tangshan from January 2019 to August 2022 were retrospectively selected as the study subjects.The lesion site of talus was examined by MRI before operation,and the T1ρ and T2 values of different types were compared.Different surgical methods were selected according to the different T1ρ values.Group A(n=73)was treated with microfracture surgery with T1ρ<45 ms;group B(n=81)was treated with autogenous bone and cartilage transplantation with T1ρ≥45 ms.The general clinical characteristics and curative effects of patients under different surgical methods were compared;the important factors of postoperative recurrence were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression,and the relationship between T1ρ value and postoperative recurrence was analyzed by restricted cubic spline graph,y=1-1/(1+e-z)regression equation to build a prediction model.The stability of the model was verified by cross-checking method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Classification of talus osteochondral injury in 154 patients(type Ⅰ:36 cases;type Ⅱ:37 cases;type Ⅲ:40 cases;type Ⅳ:41 cases),T1ρ and T2 values of the four groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);pairwise comparison was also statistically significant(all P<0.05).(2)After treatment of 154 patients,7 cases(4.6％)had local swelling,3 cases(2.0％)had pain aggravation,and 5 cases(3.3％)had wound infection.There were 2 cases(1.3％)with poor cartilage healing.(3)After treatment,there were statistically significant differences between groups A and B in terms of American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society score,visual analog scale score,plantar flexor motion range,dorsoextension motion range,subchondral bone marrow edema volume,interleukin-6,interleukin-8,C-reactive protein,procalcitonin,platelet-derived growth factor,transforming growth factor-β1,and efficacy(P<0.05).The total effective rate of group B(90％)was higher than that of group A(85％)(P<0.05).(4)Age(OR=1.589,95％CI:0.305-1.252,P=0.036),interleukin-6(OR=1.737,95％CI:0.974-5.254,P=0.049),interleukin-8(OR=1.385,95％CI:1.066-4.355,P=0.034),C-reactive protein(OR=1.957,95％CI:1.323-2.178,P=0.035),transforming growth factor-β1(OR=1.459,95％CI:0.897-2.455,P=0.038),T1-ρ(OR=1.687,95％CI:0.854-3.321,P=0.026),T2(OR=1.843,95％CI:0.657-2.454,P=0.036),complications(OR=1.719,95％CI:0.654-3.464,P=0.019),and classification of osteochondral injury of talus(OR=3.789,95％CI:1.023-5.897,P=0.028)were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence.Microfracture surgery(OR=0.751,95％CI:0.321-1.264,P=0.012)and autogenous bone and cartilage grafting(OR=0.649,95％CI:0.246-1.356,P=0.023)were independent protective factors for recurrence after medium-and long-term follow-up.(5)When T1ρ value≤35 ms,the risk of postoperative recurrence decreased rapidly,and when T1ρ value>35 ms,the risk of postoperative recurrence increased rapidly.(6)Further stepwise regression analysis showed that these nine risk factors were most closely associated with postoperative recurrence,and the formula for postoperative recurrence was obtained.The probability of postoperative recurrence was calculated using the regression equation.When P=0.75,the maximum value of Jorden index was 77.728,indicating that the model has a better prediction effect.(7)It is indicated that the quantitative evaluation of T1ρ before operation can effectively guide the selection of surgical methods,improve the success rate of surgery and the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, epidemiological features and progress of diagnosis and treatment of gout in the spinal canal.Methods:A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital due to back pain, weakness in both lower limbs, hypoaesthesia and feeling of walking and stepping on cotton for more than one month. The preoperative imaging examination showed there were space-occupying lesions in the spinal canal at the T 8, 9 level with severe canal stenosis. The patient underwent posterior T 8, 9 laminectomy decompression, debridement and T 7-T 10 pedicle screw internal fixation under general anesthesia. The thoracic spinal gout was diagnosed by postoperative pathology. Further, the following keywords, "gout", "gout of spinal canal", "gout of spine" and "intraspinal gout", were used to search in the Chinese and English databases. A total of 62 patients with intraspinal gout were retrieved. The age, gender, involved disease, history of gout or hyperuricemia, laboratory indicators and imaging data of 63 patients were collected. Results:A total of 63 patients with intraspinal gout were retrieved. The gender of one patient was unknown. The remaining patients included 54 males (87.1%, 54/62) and 8 females (12.9%, 8/62) with the ratio of male to female 6.75∶1. The average age was 52(35, 67) years (range 20-82 years) and the peak onset period was 60-79 years. Fifty-six cases (88.9%, 56/63) of all patients suffered the disease from one single site of the spine, including 26 cases in the lumbar-sacral (46.4%), 22 cases (39.3%) in the thoracic spine and 8 cases (14.3%) in the cervical spine. However, only 7 patients had the disease at more than two sites at the same time accounting for 11.1% of all patients (7/63). Fifty-three patients (91.4%, 53/58) had a history of hyperuricemia with an average duration of 8.6 years (range 3 months to 28 years). The clinical symptoms of intraspinal gout were not specific. There were 70.5% (43/61) patients had local pain and up to 98.4% (60/61) patients had varying degrees of neurological dysfunction. X-ray examinations often showed no positive results due to technical limitations. Among 41 patients with CT imaging data, 31 cases showed mid-to-high density elliptical or irregular calcifications in the spinal canal and the remaining 10 patients showed medium-low density soft tissue masses. There were 96.2% (51/53) of patients with intraspinal gout showed medium or low signal on T1WI MRI examination but without high signal or low signal on T2WI (40 cases of high signal, 13 cases of high signal or mixed signal). All 63 patients were finally diagnosed by pathological examination and 5 of them with histological features. The main pathological features included foreign body granuloma, red-stained crystal-like deposits in the cytoplasm of foreign body giant cells, birefringent spindle or needle-like crystals under polarized light microscope.Conclusion:Gout in the spinal canal is a rare condition. Dual-energy CT has high sensitivity and specificity in identifying gout and it can provide a more accurate method in diagnosis of spinal gout. However, the final diagnosis depends on postoperative pathology. If case of spinal instability or neurological dysfunction, surgery had to be performed. Hyperuricemia should be treated in order to reduce the risk of acute attacks.

Objective: To systematically review available risk prediction models evidence on construction and verification of colorectal cancer risk prediction models. Methods: "Colorectal neoplasms", "risk assessment", "colorectal cancer", "colorectal tumor", "colon cancer", "colon tumor", "rectal cancer", "rectal tumor", "anal cancer", "anal tumor", "risk prediction", "malignancy", "carcinogenesis", "model" were used as search keywords. Journal papers and grey literature were searched from Chinese electronic databases (CNKI and Wanfang) and English electronic databases (PubMed and Embase) from their inception to 30 Apr 2018. The language of literature was restricted to Chinese and English. The inclusion criteria were human-oriented researches with complete information for model construction,verification and evaluation. The exclusion criteria were informal publications such as conference abstracts, Chinese disertation papers, and non-primary research materials such as reviews,letters,and news reports. Descriptive characteristics,targeted population, study design, model construction method and prediction results were extracted. A total of 36 papers involving 27 models were included. The population characteristics of all included studies,the type of research, the method of model construction and the prediction results of the model were analyzed. Results: As for model construction,there were 13 European and American population based model studies,14 Asian population based model studies,including 7 Chinese mainland based model studies. According to the factors selected into the model, these models can be divided into traditional epidemiological models (17 models), clinical index combined models (4 models),and genetic susceptibility index combined models (6 models). As for model verification,only 9 models were cross-verified in the internal population after model construction, and the extrapolation of model prediction effect was not effectively evaluated; 17 models were verified in an external population; there was only one model verified in two external populations in terms of risk prediction effect; the area under the curve of 27 models was 0.56-0.85. Conclusion The risk prediction model of colorectal cancer is in the development stage. The external evaluation of model prediction effect is less and the prediction ability is not good, and the existing models have limited exploration of clinical indicators.
