Objective: To compare the efficacy of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) plus physical agents and physical agents alone for lateral collateral ligament injury of ankle in gymnasts, and to explore the feasibility of Tuina for injury intervention in competitive athletes.Methods: A total of 64 gymnasts with types Ⅰ-Ⅱ lateral collateral ligament injury of ankle were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group according to a full analysis set based on the intention-to-treat principle, with 32 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received ultrasound and microwave treatment, while those in the observation group received additional Tuina manipulations. The efficacy was evaluated by total effective rate, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scale (AOFAS-AHS) score. Results: The total effective rate was 96.9% in the observation group and 90.6% in the control group. There was no statistical difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The markedly effective rate was 75.0% in the observation group and 46.9% in the control group. The markedly effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS scores of both groups showed a downward trend, and there were statistical differences between different treatment time points in the same group (P<0.05). After one and three months of treatment, the VAS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There were statistical differences in the AOFAS-AHS score before and after treatment within the same group (P<0.05). After one month of treatment, there was no statistical difference in the AOFAS-AHS score between the two groups (P>0.05). After three months of treatment, the AOFAS-AHS score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, indicating statistical significance (P<0.05). There was an interaction between time and group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tuina plus physical agents can improve the symptoms of lateral collateral ligament injury of ankle in gymnasts. This combined treatment is superior to physical agents alone in relieving pain and improving joint functions. Therefore, Tuina plus physical agents can be used as a treatment for lateral collateral ligament injury of ankle in gymnasts.

Objective:To observe the dynamic changes of serum RANTES during the treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues combined with pegylated interferon alpha (peginterferon-α), and further analyze the predictive effect of RANTES on HBsAg clearance in patients with chronic hepatitis B.Methods:98 cases of chronic hepatitis B with quantitative HBsAg < 3 000 IU/ml and HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml after≥1 year NAs treatment were enrolled. Among them, 26 cases continued to receive NAs monotherapy, 72 cases received NAs combined with pegylated interferon alpha therapy. The changes in RANTES during treatment were observed. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the early changes of RANTES to predict the HBsAg clearance during 48 weeks.Results:During 48 weeks, 15 cases (20.83%) had achieved HBsAg clearance in combination group, while no patient had achieved HBsAg clearance in NAs group. The overall serum RANTES level had decreased from baseline in NAs and combination group. At week 48, in the combination group, the serum RANTES level was decreased more significantly in patients with HBsAg clearance than patients without. Further analysis showed that, in combination group, HBsAg clearance rate of patients with serum RANTES decreased at week 12 and 24 was higher than patients with elevated (29.17% vs. 4.17%, P = 0.014; 28.00% vs. 4.55%, P = 0.052), and quantitative HBsAg reduction was larger significantly [(1.49 ± 1.26) log 10IU/ml vs. (0.73 ± 0.81) log 10IU/ml, P = 0.017; (1.54 ± 1.27) log 10IU/ml vs. (0.57 ± 0.56) log 10IU/ml, P = 0.004]. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the baseline quantitative HBsAg and the reduction in quantitative HBsAg and serum RANTES during the early period were predictors of HBsAg clearance after 48-week combination therapy. Furthermore, the combination of baseline quantitative HBsAg and 12 - or 24-week reduction of serum RANTES were better predictors of HBsAg clearance than that of baseline quantitative HBsAg combined with HBsAg decrease at week 12 or 24. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the former was 0.925 and 0.939, while that of the latter was 0.909 and 0.929, respectively. Conclusion:Early reduction of serum RANTES at week 12 and 24 can predict HBsAg loss in CHB patients receiving addition of peginterferon-α to ongoing NAs Therapy, so serum RANTES could be one of the key immunological markers for predicting HBsAg clearance.

Objective To study the current situation of chronic diseases among island residents who have drunken desalinated water for a long time, and to reveal the relationship between drinking desalinated water and water from other sources and the prevalence of chronic diseases among the population. Methods According to the different drinking water sources of island residents, the research subjects were divided into seawater desalination group (residents of Gouqi Township, Shengsi County), mixed water source group (residents of Shengshan Town, Shengsi County) and freshwater group (residents of Huanglong Township, Shengsi County). Through the chronic disease network report and resident health file system, the current situation of chronic diseases in different water groups was investigated and analyzed. Results There were significant differences in the prevalence of malignant tumor among drinking water sources ( χ 2=23.867, P <0.001), with the prevalence of mixed water group >desalination group >fresh water group. There were significant differences in the prevalence of coronary heart disease ( χ 2=194.883, P <0.001), with the prevalence of mixed water group >desalination group >fresh water group. There were significant differences in the prevalence of stroke ( χ 2=35.637, P <0.001), with the prevalence of fresh water group > mixed water group > desalination group. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus ( χ 2=2.808, P =0.246), but there was significant difference in the age of onset of diabetes mellitus ( χ 2=7.368, P =0.001), and significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the age group ≥55 ( χ 2=17.144, P <0.001), and the onset age and prevalence were all in the order of fresh water group > desalination group > mixed water source group. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of hypertension ( χ 2=3.962, P =0.138), but there was significant difference in the prevalence of hypertension in the age group ≥55 ( χ 2=20.734, P <0.001), with the prevalence of fresh water group > desalination group > mixed water source group. Conclusion Long-term consumption of desalinated water by residents is correlated with malignant tumors, coronary heart disease and stroke, and has no correlation with diabetes and hypertension.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.
