Objective　To analyze the current status of influenza in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and provide targeted measures for the prevention and control of influenza in the entire region. Methods　We collected data on influenza cases reported in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from the "Disease Monitoring Information Report Management System" of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System from 2018 to 2022. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 22.0, and the comparative differences were assessed using the χ2 test. ArcGIS 10.5 was used to create thematic maps. In this study, SaTScan 9.5 was used for spatiotemporal scanning analysis of influenza incidence data in the entire region from 2018 to 2022, conducting retrospective spatiotemporal reordering scans. Results From 2018 to 2022, a total of 25 485 cases of influenza were documented in Inner Mongolia, with the highest number of cases reported in 2019 (9 933 cases). Cases were reported throughout the year, with a peak season occurring in the winter and early spring of the following year. There were 13 538 cases in males and 11 947 cases in females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.13:1, indicating a higher incidence rate in males. Cases were mainly concentrated in individuals under the age of 20, especially in the age group of 0 to 10 years, There were significant differences in influenza incidence rates among different regions and years, showing alternate patterns of prevalence. Retrospective spatiotemporal scanning analysis of influenza cases in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2018 to 2022 revealed that, in terms of temporal distribution, the cluster of cases mainly occurred in November to December each year and in January of the following year. During the influenza season, cases exhibited significant spatiotemporal clustering in the region. Conclusions　The number of reported influenza cases in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region varied from year to year but there was no increasing trend over time. Children under 10 years old were the primary susceptible population, and influenza exhibited significant seasonal variation and spatiotemporal clustering. It is recommended to strengthen public awareness and education on influenza prevention and vaccination before the influenza season each year, develop good hygiene habits, seek medical attention early when symptoms occur, and reduce the risk of clustered influenza outbreaks.

Objective To investigate the effects of atorvastutin on the levels of plasm imflammation markers (hs - CRP, MMP - 3, TNF - α) and intima - media thickness(ITM) of the common carotid artery in patient with hyperlipidemic and atherosclerosis. Methods Fifty patient with hyperlipidemic and atherosclerosis were treated with atorvastatin (10mg qd) for 12 weeks. The levels of TC, TG, LDL -C, HDL -C, hs -CRP, TNF -α and MMP -3 were detected with radioimmmuneassay and eolorimetric methods. Color Doppler echo-cardiography was used to measure intima -media thickness(ITM) of the common carotid artery after 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Results TC, TG, LDL -C, hs -CRP, TNF -α and MMP -3 were decreased significantly(P < 0.01)after 12 weeks. IMT was decreased signifi-cantly(P < 0.05) and HDL - C was increased significantly (P < 0.05) after 12 weeks. Conclusion Atorvastatin could be effective in re-ducing blood - fat and anti - inflammatory action , regulating blood vessel endothelium (BVE) function and reversing structural chan-ges in IMT of the common carotid artery.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent remnant-preserved anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with those who underwent conventional ACL reconstruction (ACLR).Methods From January 2010 to October 2012,93 eligible patients suffered from ACL injuries were randomly allocated into remnant-preserved group (ACLR with remnant preservation;n=48;Male/Female=34/14;Left/Right=25/23) and conventional group (ACLR without remnant preservation;n=45;Male/Female=33/12;Left/Right=22/23).The mean age of patients,time from injury to surgery,rates of combined meniscal injuries,and medial collateral ligament injury all showed no significant difference between the two groups preoperatively.All the patients underwent ACL reconstruction using 4-strand hamstring autografts.The postoperative assessments included knee functional scales (IKDC grade classification and Lysholm score),stability examinations (Lachman,pivot-shift,and KT-1000 arthometer),proprioceptive evaluations,and second-look arthroscopy.Results The average follow-up time was 25.4 months for the remnant-preserved group and 25.2 months for the conventional group.For IKDC grade classification,there were 32 patients with grade A,9 with grade B,1 with grade C in remnant-preserved group,whereas 30 with grade A,8 with grade B,2 with grade C in conventional group,which showed no significant difference between the two groups.Moreover,the Lysholm score (95.9±5.2 vs.95.4±1.7),Lachman test,pivot-shift test,KT-1000 arthometer (1.1±1.2 mm vs.1.2±0.9 mm),proprioceptive evaluations (joint position sense:3.6°± 1.8° vs.3.9°±2.2°) all showed no significant differences between the two groups.Additionally,the synovial coverage of grafted tendon under second-look arthroscopy was categorized as grade A in 11,grade B in 6,grade C in 2,grade D in 2 in remnant-preserved group,whereas grade A in 10,grade B in 5,grade C in 2,and grade D in 2 in conventional group,which still showed no significant difference.Conclusion In terms of the knee functional scales,stability examinations,joint position sense and graft synovial coverage,remnant-preserved ACLR group showed no superiority to the conventional ACLR group.

Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of major causes of blindness in elder people.Intraocular injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -A regimen has made big breakthrough for the treatment on choroidal neovascularization of wet AM D,while long-term follow-up and necessary retreatments are the key issues to remain obtained visual acuity.Multiple strategies of wet AMD have been used in following-up and retreating based on the visual acuity,optical coherence tomography (OCT),ophthalmoscope and fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) in abroad.However,there also are major differences in the patient' s composition,treatment habits and distribution of medical sources in China from Western.So we suggest to standardize the follow-up and retreatment strategies about intravitreal injection of VEGF-A for wet AMD as to achieve a better effectiveness.OCT-guided individual follow-up and retreatment strategies should be very helpful for maintaining a long-term efficacy,minimizing the treatment time and reducing medical cost.

Salvianolic acid A (Sal A) is one of the most effective compounds isolated from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Up to now, several studies regarding the pharmacokinetic profiles of Sal A have been reported, however there is no such study reported in monkeys, the species which is more similar to human. The aim of this study is to develop a LC-MS method for the determination of Sal A in monkey plasma and apply it to the pharmacokinetic studies of monkeys. After single intravenous administration of Sal A, the plasma concentration-time curves were observed and the main pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. The plasma concentration at 2 min (C2 (min)) values were (28.343 ± 6.426), (45.679 ± 12.301) and (113.293 ± 24.360) mg x L(-1) for Rhesus monkeys treated with Sal A at 2.5, 5 and 10 mg x kg(-1). The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC(0-∞)) values were (3.316 ± 0.871), (5.754 ± 2.150) and (13.761 ± 2.825) μg x L(-1) x h, respectively. Furthermore, this method was improved and applied to the simultaneous determination of Sal A, Sal B and Sal C, which provided useful information for preclinical studies and clinical trials of Sal A, Sal B and Sal C.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome of dual?plane high tibial osteotomy to treat posterolateral corner injuries combined with varus and/or hyperextension deformity. Methods From October 2008 to March 2014, there were 12 patients (13 knees) undergoing high tibial osteotomy. All the patients were double or triple varus knee combined with posterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries. During the surgery, the weight bearing line of lower extremity was set to 62%position of the tibial plateau on the coronal plane. The tibial slope was increased to diminish the hyperextension on the sagit?tal plane. Full?length weight bearing X?ray was used to evaluate the position of weight bearing line, femoral?tibial angle and tibial slope pre? and post?operatively. The stress radiograph was used to evaluate the posterior and posterolateral stability. The Op?ti_knee gait analysis system was used to evaluate the varus of angle during weight bearing stage. Results The weight bearing line was corrected from 19.6%±19.1% preoperatively to 42.6%±17.9% postoperatively (t=-4.178, P=0.002). The femoral?tibial angle was 172.8°±4.2° preoperatively and improved to 178.1°±4.2° postoperatively (t=-4.520, P=0.001). The tibial slope was increased from 10.2° ± 5.3° preoperatively to 18.4° ± 6.3° postoperatively (t=-5.735, P=0.000). The tibial posterior translation was decreased from 11.4±5.3 mm preoperatively to 8.1±6.9 mm postoperatively (t=2.415, P=0.042) in 9 patients. The separa?tion of lateral compartment was decreased from 16.3 ± 6.5 mm preoperatively to 14.2 ± 4.9 mm postoperatively (t=3.194, P=0.019). Gait analysis was performed in 7 patients and showed that the varus was improved from 3.0° ± 2.6° preoperatively to-2.7°±2.5° postoperatively during weight bearing stage (t=-8.500,P=0.014). Eight patients had sufficient improvement in knee function so that a subsequent posterolateral corner reconstruction was not necessary. Conclusion The dual?plane medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy can improve the alignment of lower extremity and the stability of knee joint, and 67%patients do not need a staged PLC and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
