Objective To analyze the quality of life of patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its relationship with other clinical and functional parameters used for the evaluation of disease activity. Methods The quality of life was assessed in 127 patients with active RA using SF-36 and was compared with non-active RA and the general population. The correlation between the quality of life and the clinical measures of disease, including morning stiffness, pain, fatigue, patient's global assessment (PGA) physician's global assessment , SJC/SJ1, TJC/TJI, DAS28, HAQ were measured. Results The patients with active RA reported significantly decreased scores in all dimensions of SF-36. Fatigue, PGA, physician's global assess-ment, DAS28 and HAQ significantly correlated with the scores in all dimensions of SF-36. Pain was correlated with the scores in all dimensions of SF-36 except RE. TJI was correlated with six dimensions. TJC was correlated with five dimensions. ESR was correlated with three dimensions. Conclusion The quality of life in patients with active RA is significantly declined compared with non-active RA and the general population. Disease activity and functional status of patients with active RA is closely correlated with the quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the effects of human placenta tablets combined with active folic acid and compound nutrient tablets on Th1 cytokines and hormone levels in pregnant patients with threatened miscarriage.Methods:A total of 226 pregnant patients with threatened miscarriage who received treatment in Linyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from April to September 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 113 patients in each group. The control group was treated with human placenta tablets. The observation group was treated with human placenta tablets combined with active folic acid and compound nutrient tablets. All patients were treated for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, serum levels of Th1 cytokines, β-human chorionic gonadotropin, progesterone, and estradiol as well as the rate of success of protection against miscarriage, adverse reactions, and perinatal complications were compared between the two groups.Results:After 4 weeks of treatment, serum levels of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 27.53, 20.99, 31.69, all P < 0.001). Serum levels of β-human chorionic gonadotropin, progesterone, and estradiol in the observation group were (143.79 ± 9.56) IU/L, (36.43 ± 4.71) ng/L, (234.72 ± 13.29) pmol/L, which were significantly higher than (122.53 ± 7.47) IU/L, (29.32 ± 4.22) ) ng/L, (167.86 ± 8.93) pmol/L in the control group ( t = 18.63, 11.95, 44.39, all P < 0.001). The rate of success of protection against miscarriage in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (92.9% vs. 76.1%, χ2 = 12.20, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidences of adverse reactions and perinatal compilations between the two groups (both P > 0.05). Conclusion:Human placenta tablets combined with active folic acid and compound nutrient tablets can improve serum levels of Th1 cytokines and hormones, and increase the rate of success of protection against miscarriage, without increasing the incidences of adverse reactions and perinatal complications.

Objective? To establish a digital protection system for incontinence-associated dermatitis based on earlier prevention to reduce the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis. Methods? Based on the informationization of nursing platform, we run the digital protection system module of incontinence-related dermatitis based on the forward moving of the prevention gateway in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. Through comparative study, 108 patients with incontinence and incontinence-related dermatitis from January to March 2018 were randomly selected as the pre-operation data, and 108 patients with incontinence and incontinence-related dermatitis from January to March 2019 as the post-operation data. The nurses of the two groups were observed and compared in terms of their assessment accuracy in patients' incontinence risk, position and Incontinence Associated Dermatitis Severity(IADS), clinical staging, and implementation of prevention strategies. Meanwhile, the incidence of incontinence-related dermatitis among all inpatients in the hospital from January to March in 2018 was compared with the same period of 2019. Results? After the operation of the digital protection system for incontinence-related dermatitis based on earlier prevention, the nursing staff's accuracy rate in the risk assessment of incontinence (χ2=38.095,P<0.01), IADS (χ2=64.901,P<0.01), clinical staging accuracy (χ2=42.424,P<0.01) and the implementation of protective measures (χ2=50.000, P<0.01) had significant statistical differences. The incidence of incontinence-related dermatitis in hospitalized patients decreased from 0.35% before operation to 0.06% after operation with statistical significance(χ2=41.031, P<0.01). Conclusions? The operation of the digital protection system for incontinence-associated dermatitis based on earlier prevention can reduce the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis and improve the prevention and management competence of nursing staff.

Objective:To analyze common respiratory pathogens epidemiology in hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in a single center in Shanghai, and to provide the basic data support for clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with LRTI in Shanghai.Methods:Children with LRTI in Children′s Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019, and respiratory samples were collected and tested by direct immunofluorescence assay and real time polymerase chain reaction. The epidemiological characteristics of different respiratory pathogens were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 18 716 children were included, the total detection rate of respiratory pathogens was 36.96% (6 918/18 716), and the most frequent detected pathogen was Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) (15.31%(2 866/18 716)), followed by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (10.40%(1 946/18 716)) and parainfluenza virus Ⅲ (PIV-Ⅲ) (4.65%(871/18 716)). The detection rate of pathogens in female was significantly higher than that in male (38.48%(2 936/7 630) vs 35.92%(3 982/11 086), χ2=12.72, P<0.001). RSV and influenza virus A (Flu-A) infections peaked in winter. The detection rates of influenza virus B (Flu-B) and human metapneumovirus (MPV) were higher in winter and spring. PIV-Ⅲ infection peaked in spring and summer. The peak of PIV-Ⅱ infection occurred in summer and autumn. The infections of adenovirus (ADV), MP, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and PIV-Ⅰ were prevalent throughout the year without significant seasonality. The detection rate of RSV declined with age, while the detection rate of MP increased with age. The co-infection rate was 1.65%(309/18 716), and the predominant co-infection type was MP and RSV (0.37%(70/18 716)). Conclusions:A variety of pathogens lead to children′s LRTI in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019, with the common infection of MP, RSV and PIV-Ⅲ. Different pathogens showed different epidemiological characteristics in age and season distributions.
