Objective:To explore the levels of vitamin A(VA) and vitamin D(VD) in blood of children with tic disorder (Tic disorder, TD) and their associations with tic symptoms severity and clinical types, so as to provide evidence for better prevention and treatment of TD.Methods:A total of 245 children with TD from September 2018 to April 2019 in the department of child Health care, affiliated hospital of qingdao university were enrolled as the case group and 63 healthy children who underwent routine physical examination at the same time as the control group. The levels of VA and VD were measured and their relationship with the severity of tic symptoms and clinical types were analyzed.Results:(1)The VD level of the case group was significantly lower than that of the control group ((23.72±8.87) μg/L , (26.61±7.59) μg/L, t=-2.24, P=0.03), and the proportion of insufficiency or even lack (37.31%, 75/201) was higher than the control group (15.79%, 9/57) (χ 2=9.37, P=0.002). (2)According to the Yale global tic severity scale(YGTSS), the children in the case group were divided into mild TD group, and moderate-to-severe TD group. ①There were significant differences in serum VA and VD levels in mild TD group, moderate-to-severe TD group and the control group ( F=29.79, P<0.01; F=10.90, P<0.01). Among them, the content of VA and VD in moderate-to-severe TD group were lower than those in mild TD group and control group (VA: (0.29±0.06)mg/L, (0.35±0.06)mg/L, (0.34±0.06)mg/L; VD: (21.01±8.30)μg/L, (25.84±8.76)μg/L, (26.61±7.59)μg/L). ②VA and VD levels of children with TD were negatively correlated with the severity of symptoms ( r=-0.325; P<0.01; r=-0.228; P=0.001). (3)According to DSM-V classification criteria, TD children were divided into PTD group, CTD group and TS group. ①There was no significant difference in serum VA level among different clinical types of TD children ( F=0.87, P=0.46). ②The levels of serum VD were different among the four groups ( F=4.13, P=0.007). Among them, the VD level in TS group was the lowest, and its content was significantly lower than that in control group ((21.83±7.60)μg/L, (26.61±7.59)μg/L, P<0.05)). The prevalence of insufficient or even lack of serum VD in children with different subtypes of TD was higher than that in the control group (χ 2=10.88, P=0.01). Conclusion:Vitamin D deficiency exists in children with TD. The level of vitamin A and vitamin D in serum of children with TD is related with the severity of tic symptoms.The VD level is related with clinical type of TD.

Objective:To explore the construction of a Logistic prediction model and countermeasures for type 2 diabetic nephropathy based on clinical data.Methods:The patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy admitted to Shijiazhuang Second Hospital from September 2019 to September 2021 (study group) were selected and the patients were selected according to a 1∶1 ratio using individual matching (control group), each group with 200 patients. Single and multiple factors analysis were used to analyze the factors influencing type 2 diabetic nephropathy, and Logistic regression equation models were developed to verify their predictive value.Results:Logistic regression equation model showed that the course of type 2 diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), homocysteine (Hcy), urinary microalbumin, and serum creatinine (Scr) were high risk factors for type 2 diabetic nephropathy ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression model evaluation showed that the model was established with statistical significance, and the coefficients of the regression equations had statistically significant differences. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed that the model fitting effect was good. Logistic regression model was used to statistically analyzed the data set, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of type 2 diabetic nephropathy was drawn, the area under the curve was 0.949(95% CI 0.922 - 0.968), the prediction sensitivity was 81.50%, the specificity was 95.50%, the calibration curve showed that the predicted results was in good agreement with the observed results. Conclusions:The independent predictors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy involve HbA 1c, FPG, Hcy, urinary microalbumin. The Logistic prediction model based on these predictors has reliable predictive value and can help guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (PIMT) is a rare lung tumor that is poorly understood by clinicians. Based on the data of patients with PIMT in our center, a comprehensive search and a brief summary analysis of previous reports of the disease were carried out in this article. PIMTs were more likely to be present in male patients and in the right lung, and their clinical and radiographic findings were heterogeneous. Surgery is the most important treatment method, and complete resection is of great significance to the prognosis of patients. Targeted therapy represented by crizotinib may be helpful for patients with positive ALK mutations.
