Objective To explore the status of Cryptosporidium infection among injection drug abusers(IDUs) based on the purified recombinant CP23 protein antigen.Methods The serologic antibody response of Cryptosporidium infection was examined by indirect ELISA in the collected 588 serum episodes of IDUs and 384 cases of healthy persons. Results Among 588 cases of IDUs, 69.90% of them were serologic antibody-positive, compared with 29.43% of the healthy persons, with a significant difference(P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the knowledge of Helicobacter pylori infection among outpatients,analyzing the data and providing useful information and measures for H.pylori infected and uninfected patients. METHODS Questionnaires about the knowledge of H.pylori were operated on 286 patients randomly selected from patients taking gastrointestinal endoscopy in October,2005. RESULTS Among 286 patients investigated,177 cases(61.9%) took the examination for diagnosis,while 157 cases(54.9%) had upper abdominal symptom more than 12 months.There were 60% patients investigated who knew only 2 items from total(7 items) about H.pylori in the questionnaires,while 46.7% patients wanted to obtain the knowledge of the disease and instructions on health care from medical professionals.In addition,it showed that there was no close relation between education level and knowledge of the disease. CONCLUSIONS Investigating the knowledge of special disease,which mastered by the patients,will help to identify patients blind to the disease they have,and patients who are in need of health-care instructions.

Objective:To identify the key convergence points in the medical-nursing combined care among literature, and establish a mechanism for medical-nursing combined care integration from the perspective of the synergy theory, for the purpose of promoting the integrated development of such care in China.Methods:Relevant literature on the medical-nursing combined care were retrieved from the CNKI database from September 2013 to September 2021. The search formula used was TI= "the medical-nursing care integration" AND SU=(convergence+ transformation+ coordination+ mechanism), while supplementary searches were made using " pkulaw.com database" and Baidu Scholar database. The method of literature content analysis was used to screen key points of the medical-nursing combined care, and the convergence mechanism was built based on the perspective of the synergy theory.Results:A total of 42 literatures were included in this study, 8 key convergence points of medica-nursing combined care integration were identified. Namely the 4 key horizontal convergence points of medical care, aging care, rehabilitation and nursing, the 3 key vertical convergence points of home care, institution care and community care, and the one key convergence point of institutional medical care. Based on the synergy theory and the 8 key convergence points, the " 431" convergence mechanism of medical-nursing combined care was constructed. This mechanism refered to the horizontal linkage of healthcare, nursing, rehabilitation and aging care, the vertical redirection among home care, institution care and community care modes, and the development mode focusing on institutional aging care.Conclusions:At present, the poor convergence between aging care and nursing care in China is a key roadblock hindering the integrated development of aging and nursing care. Medical-nursing combined care should be conducive to the " 431" convergence development, achieving horizontal linkage, vertical redirection, and resource sharing, for the purpose of high-quality development of China′s aging care system.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of antibiotic bone cement combined with delayed lateral supramolleolar perforator fascial flap in the treatment of diabetic foot(DF).Methods:From April 2020 to July 2021, a total of 6 patients with DF were treated with antibiotic bone cement combined with delayed lateral supramolleolar perforator fascial flap. The patients were 5 males and 1 female, aged from 45 to 67 years old with an average of 56.2 years old. The wounds were all located in dorsal foot, 4 in right foot and 2 in the left. The wound area was 2.4 cm×5.0 cm-6.5 cm×10.0 cm. The depth of wound were: 3 cases up to tendon layer, and 3 cases up to metatarsal bone. Two of the wound were complicated with metatarsal osteomyelitis. The wounds at Wagner grade 3 in 4 patients and grade 4 in 2 patients. The flap size was 3.0 cm×6.0 cm-8.0 cm×11.0 cm. All of the wounds were repaired with delayed supramolleolar perforator fascia flap after debridement, application of antibiotic bone cement and fumigation with Sanhuang decoction(a traditional Chinese medicine). The affected limbs were externally fixed with plaster and raised after surgery, and the colour, temperature, tension and capillary reaction of the flaps were closely observed. Stitches were removed 2 weeks after surgery and rehabilitation of the affected limb was performed. Regular follow-up was made postoperatively. The appearance of flaps and the scar of donor and recipient sites were observed. The foot and ankle function were evaluated by the American Orthopaedic Association foot and Ankle Surgery(AOFAS) score scale.Results:Six cases of DF had no recurrence of wound infection. All flaps survived well. The average follow-up time was 6(3-14) months. The postoperative follow-up revealed satisfactory appearance of the flap, only linear scars remained in the donor and recipient sites. The function of foot and ankle recovered well with full weight-bearing and normal walk. AOFAS scores ranged from 81 to 95.Conclusion:It is an effective method to treat DF by applying antibiotic bone cement combined with delayed superior lateral malleolus perforator fascial flap. The operation is simple, safe and can cut down the time of treatment, quickly control the wound infection. It deserves further trials.

Objective:To explore the social and physical anhedonia and its relationship to intrinsic motivation in patients with schizophrenia.Methods:One hundred and twenty-five stable schizophrenic patients from three psychiatric hospitals in Hefei, Wuhu and Beihai, and 101 healthy controls from same communities were recruited.All subjects completed Chinese version of revised social anhedonia scale(RSAS-C), Chinese version of revised physical anhedonia scale(RPAS-C) and intrinsic motivation inventory for schizophrenia research(IMI-SR), while positive and negative syndrome scale(PANSS) and Calgary depression scale for schizophrenia(CDSS) were used to assess the clinical symptoms of schizophrenic patients.All analyses were conducted by SPSS 26.0 software.The Mann-Whitney U test and covariance analysis were used for comparison between the groups, and Spearman correlation and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to explore the association between the anhedonia and intrinsic motivation in schizophrenics. Results:Compared with controls, the RSAS-C (10.00(6.00, 14.00) vs 11.00(8.00, 15.00), Z=-2.187, P<0.05) and RPAS-C (12.00(7.50, 20.00) vs 16.00(10.00, 23.00), Z=-3.026, P<0.01) scores in patients were higher, but the differerce between the groups disappeared after controlling age, sex and years of education.The IMI-SR perceived choice subscore (31.00(28.00, 39.00 vs 36.00(31.00, 42.00), Z=-3.172, P<0.01) were lower, while value/usefulness subscores (41.00(35.00, 45.00) vs 36.00(32.00, 42.00), Z=-3.387, P<0.01) were higher in patients than those in controls, and there was no significant difference between the total score and interest/enjoyment subscore(both P<0.05). In patents, Spearman correlation analysis showed that the RSAS-C and RPAS-C scores were significant negatively correlated with the IMI-SR total scores and interest/enjoyment subscore, perceived choice and value/usefulness( r=-0.193--0.364, all P<0.05), which still existed after controlling age, sex, years of education, course of disease, antipsychotic dose, and scores of PANSS and CDSS.Logistic regression analysis showed that the score of RSAS-C( B=-0.096, 95% CI=0.836-0.998, P=0.025) and perceived choice subscore( B=-0.110, 95% CI=0.823-0.974, P=0.010) had negative effects on the IMI-SR total score. Conclusion:There is a correlation between anhedonia and intrinsic motivation in patients with schizophrenia, the higher the social anhedonia, the lower the intrinsic motivation to participate in cognitive activities, suggesting that intervention for social anhedonia may have significance in improving the intrinsic motivation of patients with cognitive rehabilitation therapy.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between clinical phenotype, electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics and genotype in children with Angelman syndrome(AS). Methods: A total of 103 children with AS at Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from June 2017 to June 2018, were included in this study.The information of clinical characteristics, EEG manifestations, genotypes as well as the epileptic outcome were collected retrospectively.The correlations between clinical phenotype, genotype, and epileptic outcome were evaluated. Results: (1) Of the 103 cases, 48 were male (46.6%) and 55 were female (53.4%). (2) Genotypes on AS critical region were maternal chromosome 15q11.2-q13 [86.4%(89/103 cases)], paternal uniparental disomy [3.9%(4/103 cases)], imprinting defects [1.9%(2/103 cases)], and mutations in the maternal copy of UBE3A [7.8%(8/103 cases)]. (3) Apparent happy demeanor or smile and general developmental delay were observed in all AS children.Dyskinesia accounted for 98.1% (101/103 cases), followed by oral movement or suck disorders [97.1%(100/103 cases)] and abnormal posture [67.0%(69/103 cases)]. The proportion of acquired small head circumfe-rence or microcephaly, flat occiput or occipital groove and wide-spaced teeth were 61.2%(63/103 cases), 85.4%(88/103 cases) and 44.7%(46/103 cases), respectively.(4) Behavioral problems like fascination with water, sleep problems and feeding difficulties were found in 86.4%(89/103 cases), 89.3%(92/103 cases) and 85.5%(88/103 cases) of the children, respectively.Sleep disorders [94.4%(84/89 cases) vs.57.1%(8/14 cases)] and feeding difficulties [93.3%(83/89 cases) vs.35.7%(5/14 cases)] were more frequently seen in children with maternal absence group, compared those with no absence, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (5) Epilepsy was present in 77.7% (80/103 cases) of children with onset age varying from 8 to 72 months and 80.8% (59/73 cases) were developing seizures prior to 3 years old.Children with maternal absence showed more multiple seizure types than those with no absence[41.7%(32/68 cases) vs.0(0 case)], and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Children with well-controlled epilepsy had more atonic seizure, compared with those with poorly controlled seizure [48.3%(14/29 cases) vs.18.5%(4/27 cases)], and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusions Sleep disorders, feeding difficulties in infancy and multiple seizure types are more commonly seen in AS children with maternal absence.Atonic seizure is easier to be controlled over other types of seizures.
