To explore the incidence and grade of acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI)in patients with acute stroke,and the influence of gastrointestinal disorders on the mortality of stroke. Methods A total of 103 patients were recruited. According to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores,they were divided into two groups:severe stroke patients(n=52)and mild to moderate stroke patients(n=51).The incidence of gastrointestinal complications in the two groups are calculated. AGI classification was performed according to gastrointestinal symptoms. Binary logistic analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of gastrointestinal failure in stroke patients,and KM curve was used to evaluate the effect of AGI classification on 28-day mortality in stroke patients. Results The incidence of gastrointestinal complications was 91.3%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of gastrointestinal disorders in the mild to moderate stroke and severe stroke groups(74.5% vs 75.0%,P>0.05);The severe stroke group showed a higher incidence of gastrointestinal failure(7.8% vs 25.0%,P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed:elevated NIHSS score was a risk factor for gastrointestinal failure after stroke(P<0.05).Combining gastrointestinal failure significantly increased the 28-day mortality of stroke patients(χ2=53.08,P<0.001). Conclusion Gastrointestinal complications are common in patients with acute stroke. NIHSS score is positively correlated with gastrointestinal failure. And patients with gastrointestinal failure have a worse prognosis.

Objective To explore the characteristic of early evaluation of patients with amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) on brain function prognosis after cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR). Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients with adult CPCR in intensive care unit (ICU) of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March 2016 to March 2017 was performed. The length of stay, recovery time, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, aEEG and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) within 72 hours were recorded. The main clinical outcome was the prognosis of brain function (Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category, CPC) in patients with CPCR after 3 months. Relationship between aEEG and GCS and their correlation with brain function prognosis was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. The effects of aEEG and GCS on prognosis of brain function were evaluated by Logistic regression analysis. The predictive ability of aEEG and GCS for brain function prognosis was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results A total of 31 patients with CPCR were enrolled, with 18 males and 13 females; mean age was (41.84±16.96) years old; recovery time average was (19.42±10.79) minutes; the length of stay was (14.84±10.86) days; APACHE Ⅱ score 19.29±6.42; aEEG grade Ⅰ(normal amplitude) in 7 cases, grade Ⅱ (mild to moderate abnormal amplitude) in 13 cases, grade Ⅲ (severe abnormal amplitude) in 11 cases; GCS grade Ⅰ (9-14 scores) in 7 cases, grade Ⅱ (4-8 scores) in 14 cases, grade Ⅲ (3 scores) in 10 cases; 19 survivals, 12 deaths; the prognosis of brain function was good (CPC 1-2) in 8 cases, and the prognosis of brain function was poor (CPC 3-5) in 23 cases. There was no significant difference in age, gender, recovery time, length of stay and APACHE Ⅱ score between two groups with different brain function prognosis, while aEEG grade and GCS grade were significantly different. Cochran-Armitage trend test showed that the higher the grade of aEEG and GCS, the worse the prognosis of CPCR patients (bothP-trend < 0.01). With the increase in GCS classification, the classification of aEEG was also increasing (r = 0.6206,P = 0.0003). Both aEEG and GCS were positively correlated with the prognosis of brain function (r1 = 0.7796,P1 < 0.0001;r2 = 0.7021,P2 < 0.0001). Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that aEEG and GCS had significant effect on early brain function prognosis [aEEG: odds ratio (OR) = 37.234, 95%confidence interval (95%CI) = 3.168-437.652,P = 0.004, GCS:OR = 12.333, 95%CI = 1.992-76.352,P = 0.007]; after adjusting for aEEG and GCS, only aEEG had significant effect on the early prognosis of brain function (OR = 26.932, 95%CI = 1.729-419.471,P = 0.019). The ROC curve analysis showed that in the evaluation of the prognosis of CPCR patients with brain function, the area under ROC curve (AUC) of aEEG was 0.913, when the cut-off value of aEEG was 1.5, the sensitivity was 95.7% and the specificity was 75.0%. The AUC of GCS was 0.851, the best cut-off value was 1.5, the sensitivity was 91.3% and the specificity was 62.5%.Conclusion aEEG and GCS scores have a good correlation in the evaluation of brain function prognosis in patients with CPCR, the accuracy of aEEG in the early evaluation of the prognosis of patients with CPCR is higher than the GCS score.

Objective:
To explore whether Integrated Early Childhood Development (IECD) program has effectively improved the nurturing care for children aged 0-35 months in rural China.
Methods:
IECD has been implemented by the government of China with support from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in four poverty-stricken rural counties since 2014. The interventions targeting the five key components of nurturing care (i.e. child and caregiver health, child nutrition, early learning support, child protection and social security) were delivered through the IECD program to children aged 0 to 35 months and their caregivers. A population-based intervention trial was designed to evaluate intervention effectiveness with data collected in 2013 (baseline) and 2016 (mid-term). The changes of nurturing care in the intervention and control group were analyzed by using a difference-in-differences (DID) model. This approach provided adjustment for sociodemographic and other confounding factors.
Results:
The baseline and mid-term survey enrolled 1 468 and 1 384 children in the intervention group, and 1 485 and 1 361 in the control group. After two years of implementation, the prevalence of caregiver's depression in the intervention group showed a decrease of 9.1% (mid-term 34.8% (479/1 377)

Objective:To investigate the incidence and trend of severe postpartum hemorrhage (sPPH) in China, and to provide basic data for the development and evaluation of sPPH prevention and control strategy.Methods:Obstetric data was extracted from annual national representative sampling surveys based on the National Clinical Improvement System. From 2016 to 2019, 2 978, 3 400, 4 576 and 4 594 maternity hospitals with sPPH cases were included for statistics. The annual incidence of sPPH was calculated according to province and type of medical institutions and generalized linear model was emplyed to identify the determinants affecting sPPH incidence.Results:In China, sPPH incidence increased from 0.62% in 2016 to 0.93% in 2018, and was 0.92% in 2019. Eighteen provinces had an inverted U-shaped trend of sPPH over time and most of them had the highest incidence in 2018; ten provinces had an upward trend of sPPH and 3 provinces had a U-shaped trend. In 2019, the top five provinces with the highest sPPH incidence were Yunnan (1.88%), Beijing (1.45%), Jiangsu (1.31%), Guizhou (1.26%), and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (1.22%); the top five provinces with the lowest incidence were Henan (0.55%), Jiangxi (0.60%), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (0.64%), Liaoning (0.64%) and Gansu (0.69%). In 2019, the sPPH incidence in different types of medical institutions were as follows: tertiary public general hospital (1.15%), tertiary public specialized hospital (1.02%), secondary public general hospital (0.81%), private hospital (0.61%) and secondary public specialized hospital (0.58%). sPPH incidence was positively associated with proportion of twin pregnancies, macrosomia, primipara, and puerpera aged ≥35 years in maternity hospitals ( P<0.05). Conclusions:sPPH incidence generally showes an increasing trend from 2016 and is stable at a high level in recent two years in China. It is warranted to further strengthen the monitoring of postpartum hemorrhage, and improve the capability of hierarchical management and treatment in maternity institutions and regions, in order to reduce sPPH incidence and maternal mortality.

OBJECTIVE:
To summarize the clinical features, surgical methods, and prognosis of bucket-handle meniscal tears (BHMTs), and provide guidance for clinical treatment.
METHODS:
The clinical data of 91 BHMTs patients (91 knees), who met the selection criteria and were admitted between January 2015 and January 2021, was retrospectively analyzed. There were 68 males and 23 females. Age ranged from 16 to 58 years with an average of 34.4 years. The injury was caused by sports in 68 cases, traffic accident in 15 cases, and falls or sprains in 8 cases. There were 49 cases of left knee injury and 42 cases of right knee injury. The time from the onset of symptoms to the admission ranged from 1 day to 13 months (median, 18 days), including >1 month in 35 cases and ≤1 month in 56 cases. Medial BHMTs occurred in 52 cases and lateral BHMTs in 39 cases. There were 36 cases with ACL rupture and 12 cases with discoid meniscus. The knee extension was limited more than 10° in 55 cases. According to the condition of meniscus injury, the meniscus suture with Inside-out combined with All-inside techniques (54 cases) or meniscoplasty (37 cases) under arthroscopy were selected. ACL reconstruction was performed in all patients with ACL rupture with autogenous hamstring tendon. Postoperative complications were observed. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score were used to evaluate knee function, and clinical failure was recorded.
RESULTS:
Two patients developed intermuscular venous thrombosis, which improved after oral anticoagulant therapy. No vascular injury, postoperative infection, joint stiffness, or other complications occurred in all patients. All patients were followed up 24-95 months, with a median of 64 months. A total of 12 cases (13.19%) failed the operation and were re-operated or given oral anti-inflammatory analgesics and rehabilitation therapy. At last follow-up, IKDC score and Lysholm score of 91 patients significantly increased when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05), while Tegner score significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The above indexes of patients treated with meniscus suture and meniscoplasty were also significantly different from those before operation ( P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
BHMTs occurs mostly in young men and is one of the important reasons for the limitation of knee extension after trauma. Arthroscopic meniscus suture and meniscoplasty can obtain good effectiveness according to individual conditions of patients. But the latter can better preserve the shape and function of meniscus, and theoretically can obtain better long-term outcomes, which needs to be confirmed by further research with larger sample size.
