Objective To analyze the clinical features of intestinal infection in patients with acute leukemia (AL) after chemotherapy. Methods The data of 103 cases of AL patients after chemotherapy from January 2014 to April 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, and categorical variables were compared by using chi-square test. Results A total of 364 cycles of chemotherapy was conducted among 103 patients, of which 66 times (18.13 %) in 59 cycles occurred intestinal infections, including twice intestinal infections in one cycle of chemotherapy in 7 cases. The incidence of intestinal infection was 27.48%(36/131) in group without complete remission (CR), and 9.87%(23/233) in CR group. There was a statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.01). Repeated intestinal infections were found in 46.67%of the patients who accepted multiple cycles of chemotherapy. In the same cycle of chemotherapy, the probability of recurrence of intestinal infection after chemotherapy was 3.7 times than patients without intestinal infection occurred during chemotherapy. The incidence of intestinal infection of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after primary inducing chemotherapy was higher than that of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) (P= 0.019). The incidence of intestinal infection combined with neutropenic was 9.89 % (36/364), and the incidence of intestinal infection was 8.24 % (30/364) in neutrophils > 0.5 × 109/L. There was no significant difference (P> 0.05). After chemotherapy, some patients with intestinal infection occurred acute abdomen, with high mortality rate. Conclusions Intestinal infection may occur in the procession of chemotherapy and myelosuppression. Special attention should be paid on intestinal infection, including reduction of blood stream infection and risk factors, as well as timely intervention.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the modified docetaxel plus prednisone scheme for the metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer patients who got poor tolerance to chemotherapy.Method The clinical data of 50 metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer who received docetaxel + prednisone chemotherapy from March 2010 to October 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.23 cases received the modified DP regimen (modified group),27 cases received the standard DP regimen (standard group).The median age of the modified group and the standard group were 69 years (47-80 years) and 63 years (52-77 years) (P =0.005).There were 19 and 24 cases with pain in modified group and standard group respectively;10 and 19 cases with lymph node metastasis respectively;3 and 4 cases of visceral metastasis respectively;all of the 50 patients were complicated with bone metastasis.For the pathological Gleason score,there were 7 cases scored ≤7 points,13 cases scored ≥ 8 points and 3 cases unscored in the modified group;7 cases scored ≤7 points,15 cases scored ≥8 points and 5 cases unscored in standard group.There was no significant difference of the pain,metastasis,and Gleason score between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Progression free survival (PFS),overall survival (OS)and adverse events were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves,and the differences were assessed using the log-rank test.Results In the modified group and standard group,the median follow-up times were 11.0 months and 14.0 months respectively,the median chemotherapy cycles were 4.5 cycles and 5.0 cycles respectively;OS were 18.0 months and 27.5 months respectively (P =0.746).The PFS of the two groups were 6.0 months and 5.2 months,respectively (P =0.822).The PSA response were 13 cases and 17 cases in the modified group and standard group respectively (P =0.615),and the pain response were 8 cases and 7 cases (P =0.927),grade 3 to 4 adverse events were 3 cases and 14 cases (P =0.003).The main adverse events were blood toxicity,neutrophils,gastrointestinal reaction,edema,fatigue and oral mucositis etc.Conclusions Compared with the standard DP scheme,the modified DP scheme had no significant difference in OS,PFS,pain response rate and PSA response rate,while the incidence of grade 3 to 4 adverse events was significantly reduced.Modified DP scheme may be a better choice for patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer who get poor tolerance to chemotherapy.

Objective Total thyroidectomy of C57BL/6 and KM mice was performed by two different surgical methods to verify the success of mouse hypothyroidism model modeling,and compared the success rate of different surgical methods.Methods C57BL/6 and KM mice underwent total thyroidectomy by ligation(operation method Ⅰ)or hemostasis(operation method Ⅱ),and the detailed operation processes were recorded.Serum TT3,TT4 and TSH levels detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,body weight,and hematoxylin-eosin(HE)-stained neck tissue were compared before and after surgery to verify the model.Results Serum TT3 and TT4 levels were decreased(P＜0.05)and TSH was increased(P＜0.001)in both model groups.The 28-day postoperative survival rates were 40％and 60％in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ,respectively,and 50％and 40％in KM mice.Body weights were significantly higher in both model groups compared with the sham control group.HE staining and microscopic observation showed that the cervical tissue in both strains was thyroid tissue,and the back membrane of the thyroid remained intact after isolation.Conclusions Both surgical method can induce hypothyroidism in C57BL/6 and KM mice;however,it is necessary to consider the anatomical relationship of the thyroid gland to the surrounding tissue,improve the proficiency of the surgical operation,prevent the occurrence of postoperative hypocalcemia and infection,and thus improve the survival rate of the model mice.

Objective To investigate the dose of docetaxel appropriate for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and its affects to the prognosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 75 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer admitted from March 2010 to July 2016 who received docetaxel combined with prednisone chemotherapy.The patients were divided into the low-dose group (n =43,docetaxel ＜ 65 mg/m2),the middle-dose group (n =21,docetaxel 65-70 mg/m2) and the high-dose group (n =11,docetaxel ＞ 70 mg/m2).The median age in the low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group was 67 (53-80),66 (56-78) and 61 (47-76) years old,respectively.Among 75 patients with bone metastasis,2 patients had no evidence of bone metastasis in the low-dose group.The lymph node metastasis was found in 26,13 and 6 cases in each group,respectively.And visceral and other metastasis were founded in 11,4 and 2 cases,respectively.The Gleason score in the low-dose group was≤7 points in 15 cases,≥8 points in 22 cases and no score in 6 cases.The Gleason score inthe middle-dose group was ≤7 points in 4 cases,≥8 points in 13 cases and no score in 4 cases.The Gleason score in the high-dose group was ≤7 points in 3 cases,≥8 points in 5 cases and no score in 3 cases.The number of patients with pain in the low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group was 36,12 and 9,respectively,there were no significant differences in the above indicators (P ＞ 0.05),except age,which showed relatively more aged patients in the low-dose group,(P =0.045).Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the overall survival (OS),progression-free survival (PFS) and the incidence of ≥CTCAE-4 grade 3 adverse reactions between the two groups.The Cox regression model was adopted to analyzed the factors that might affect patient prognosis,including the effective time of first-line endocrine therapy,hemoglobin level,ECOG score,pain score,number of cycles of chemotherapy,age,dose of docetaxel and alkaline phosphatase (ALP).Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the effect of dose of docetaxel on the prognosis,and log-rank method was used to test the significance of the results.Results The median OS was respectively 24.1,18.5 and 23.5 months in the low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group,respectively.The median PFS was 5.3 months in all three groups,which didn't show statistically significant differences.The incidence of grade 3/4 adverse reactions in the low-dose group,middle-dose group and high-dose group was 15 cases (34.9％),8 cases (38.1％) and 5 cases (45.5％) respectively.It showed an increasing trend,but no statistically significant difference.The single factors related to OS mainly include the effective time of first-line endocrine therapy,hemoglobin level,ECOG score,pain score,number of cycles of chemotherapy,there was no significant correlation with age,docetaxel dose,ALP and PSA value.Conclusions It is common to receive lower doses of docetaxel in clinical practice for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in China.The efficacy of low-dose docetaxel is similar to that of high doses (standard dosage).There was no significant correlation between the OS and the actual dose of docetaxel in the tolerable range.

Objective To indentify the cognitive status of Chinese patients to acne and the influencing factors to theirs' cognitive status,so as to provide solid evidences for the prevention and treatment of acne.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was made to conduct this survey of 16,156 acne patients,who seeked to the treatment in the dermatological departments from 112 hospitals in China.The survey consisted of several parts,including the general status of patients,the patients' cognition of occurrence,development and risk factors of acne,whether the first choice was seeking treatment at the hospital when the patients had acne and the condition of selection of skin care products.The factors were analyzed,which could impact the cognition of the patients' behavior of treatment,how did the patients' cognition to influence their medical behavior and skin care as well as the consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients themselves.Results The acne patients studied had the best knowledge of "acne is a skin disease","it not only occurs in the period of adolescence" and "the disease can be prevented and cured",which accordingly accounted for 80.65％,69.16％ and 65.49％ of the total patients respectively.However,the awareness of acne patients to heredity,high sugar and dairy products as risk factors for acne was insufficient,which accounted for 48.72％,42.40％ and 18.25％ of the total patients,respectively.Gender,age,educational level,occupation and health knowledge were the main factors affecting the cognitive level of patients;the survey also found that men,patient with educational level of junior high or even lower educational condition,occupation of labor workers or farmers and patients were lack of health education with poor knowledge of the genetics and dietary were risk factors for acne;patients with age over 36 years or with mild illness had poor knowledge of dietary risk factors for acne;the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The analysis of the influence of cognitive status on medical treatment behavior and skin care showed that the better the cognition,the higher the probability of patients would choose medical treatment as the first choice as well as choosing functional skin care products;the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The consistency of assessment of the severity of acne by doctors and patients was poor (Kappa value ＜0.4),and the assessment of severity of acne by patients was more serious than doctors' assessment.Conclusions Patient's cognitive status will affect their medical behavior and skin care,and there is also a phenomenon that patients have a more serious assessment of their acne condition.It is suggested that health education for acne patients should be strengthened in clinical medicine so as to improve their knowledge of acne as well as preventing from acne effectively.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging technology for real-time monitoring based on the impedance differences of different tissues and organs in the human body. It has been initially applied in clinical research as well as disease diagnosis and treatment. Lung perfusion refers to the blood flow perfusion function of lung tissue, and the occurrence and development of many diseases are closely related to lung perfusion. Therefore, real-time monitoring of lung perfusion is particularly important. The application and development of EIT further promote the monitoring of lung perfusion, and related research has made great progress. This article reviews the principles of EIT imaging, lung perfusion imaging methods, and their clinical applications in recent years, with the aim of providing assistance to clinical and scientific researchers.

OBJECTIVE：To evaluate the benefit and risk of tirofiban in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome （ACS），and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug selection and decision. METHODS ：Retrieved from domestic and foreign database as PubMed ，the Cochrane Library ，CNKI and Wanfang database ，during the establishment of database to Apr. 2020，two researcher independently screened the literature based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and extracted the data. After the quality evaluation of the included literatures ，based on rapid health technology assessment ，the extracted results were classifiedly evaluated and comprehensively analyzed. RESULTS ：A total of 13 researches of systematic review/Meta-analysis and 1 research of pharmacoeconomics were included. Compared with placebo ，tirofiban could significantly reduce all-cause mortality [OR ＝0.68， 95％CI（0.54，0.86），P＝0.000 1] and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events （MACE）in patients with ACS [RR ＝0.24， 95％CI（0.14，0.40），P＜0.01]，and increased the incidence of TIMI 3 [OR＝5.73，95％CI（2.99.10.97），P＜0.01]. Tirofiban and eptifibatide had similar therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of ACS ，but tirofiban significantly increased the risk of TIMI small bleeding in patients with ACS [RR ＝0.61，95％CI（0.38，0.98），P＝0.04]. For ACS patients with non-ST elevation （NSTE-ACS）， compared with placbo ，tirofiban significantly reduced the incidence of MACE [RR ＝0.76，95％ CI（0.61，0.96），P＝0.018]，but significantly increased the risk of bleeding [OR ＝1.49，95％CI（1.12，1.98），P＝0.006]，while there was no significant difference in its effects on the all-cause mortality of NSTE-ACS patients （P＞0.05）. For STEMI patients ，compared with placebo ，tirofiban significantly reduced the all-cause mortality [RR＝0.61，95％CI（0.35，1.05），P＝0.007] and the incidence of MACE [RR ＝0.63，95％ CI（0.44，0.90），P＝0.007]. When combined with liposuction ，tirofiban also significantly reduced the incidence of MACE [RR ＝ 2.05，95％CI（1.71，2.46），P＜0.01]，and significantly increased the incidence of TIMI 3 [OR＝3.18，95％ CI（2.4，4.22），P＜ 0.01]，but there was no significant difference in its effects on bleeding risk （P＞0.05）. The included pharmacoeconomic study showed that patients treated with bivalutine could get 10.07 QALYs，patients treated with heparin combined with tirofiban could get 9.98 QALYs，and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio bivalutine compared to the latter one was 28 575.77 yuan/QALYs，which was lower than 3 times of the per capita GDP of some cities. CONCLUSIONS ：Tirofiban has good efficacy in the treatment of ACS，but it can increase the risk of bleeding than eptifibatide and placebo. Domestic bivalirudin treating for ACS has a cost-effectiveness advantage over tirofiban combined with heparin.

ObjectiveThis article aims to investigate the association between hypertension and the risk of GSD by conducting a national multicenter study， a systematic review， and a meta-analysis. MethodsThe study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage， subjects were recruited for health examination in four hospitals in Chengdu， Tianjin， Beijing， and Chongqing， China， from 2015 to 2020， and the multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between hypertension and the risk of GSD in each center. In the second stage， Embase， PubMed， Wanfang Data， VIP， and CNKI databases were searched for related studies published up to May 2021， and a meta-analysis was conducted to further verify such association. In the third stage， the random effects model was used for pooled analysis of the results of the multicenter cross-sectional study and the findings of previous literature. ResultsA total of 633 948 participants were enrolled in the cross-sectional study， and the prevalence rate of GSD was 7.844%. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension was positively associated with the risk of GSD（P<0.05）. Subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the association between hypertension and GSD between individuals with different sexes， ages， and subtypes of GSD. A total of 80 articles were included in the systematic review and the meta-analysis， and the results showed that the risk of GSD was increased by 1.022 times for every 10 mmHg increase in diastolic pressure and 1.014 times for every 10 mmHg increase in systolic pressure. ConclusionHypertension significantly increases the risk of GSD， and the findings of this study will provide a basis for the etiology of GSD and the identification of high-risk groups.
