Anti-inflammatory and analgesic and antipyretic and gastrointestinal ulcerogenic activities of ketoprofen 2-(3-benzoylphenyl -propionic acid) were investigated in experimental animals.Anti-inflammatory potency of ketoprofen was almost equal to that of indomethacin in carrageenin, yeast or nystatin-incluced hind paw edema and in acetic acid-induced increase of vascular permeability.Oral analgesic ED50-value of ketoprofen was on the whole campa-rable to that of indomethacin.Ketoprofen exerted a strong antipyretic action at oral doses in rats and its potency (ED50-1.22 mg/kg) was 2.3 times of that of indomethacin. However, ulcerogenicity of ketoprofen was weeker than that of indomethacin safety index and therapeutic index (SUD60/ED50 and LD60/ED40) of ketoprofen were greater than that of indomethacin and extremely great (the index ratio=114.7/4.5 ) in the antipyretic activity. It was suggested from these findings that ketoprofen is a potent anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and antipyretic actions superior to indomethacin and a wide safety margin.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of low-dose semicoronal computerized tomography (CT) of sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in the early diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods Patients who were diagnosed with AS and had received axial CT examination of SIJs over the past 2 years were recruited.All of them simultaneously underwent a low-dose semicoronal CT of SIJs.The clinical data were recorded.Radiation dose was compared between low-dose CT and the previous conventional axial CT.Image quality of low-dose CT was assessed and correlation between image quality and weight or body mass index (BMI) was analyzed.CT images of the two groups were graded by modified New York criteria, the Lee criteria and the Innsbruck criteria.The kappa coefficient was used to assess the consistency of grading between the two groups.Results Thirty-three patients were enrolled in this study.The effective dose (ED) of semicoronal SIJ CT was 3.37 mSv which was 49％ lower than conventional axial CT (6.56 mSv).Lower dose had the potential protection of gonads.The quality of images in male patients with BMI ＜ 25 kg/m2 and all female patients were good or excellent.There was a significant negative correlation between image quality and BMI (r =-0.746, P =0.000;r =-0.784, P =0.000;respectively).All patients were diagnosed as sacroiliitis by modified New York criteria and the grading of two groups was consistent.The consistency of grading between two groups was satisfactory no matter which classification criteria was used.(k =0.897 with Lee criteria;k =0.814 with Innsbruck criteria;P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The radiation dose of semicoronal SIJ CT is significantly lower than that of the conventional axial CT with comparable efficacy of diagnosis.

Objective To study the characteristics of work disability and its influencing factors in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods The demographic data, work conditons and disease related characteristics of 277 patients with AS were recorded, and randomly selected from the Department of Rheumatology, Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2014 to January 2016. Work and productivity activity impair-ment questionnaire (WPAI) was used to survey the work disability and productivity loss, then explore its in-fluencing factors and the relationships between patient-reported outcomes and WPAI scores. Logistic regression was used to analyze the associated factors of work disability. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the predictive factors of lose of work productivity. Results The prevalence of work disability was 30.3%. Twenty patients were unemployed because of working disability. Two hudreds patients were employed, with average 36.5 (24.0, 50.0) hours workingtime in the past week. Average AS related absenteeism was 4.4 (0, 10) hour. Average workproductivity loss was 26.4%(2.5%, 40.0%). Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that Bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI), SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) scores might be the important influencing factors among those clinical measures ( OR=1.270, 0.959). Presenteeism and overall work impairment were moderately correlated with patients' global assessment of disease activity (VAS), BASDAI, bath AS functional index (BASFI), SF-36 physical Functioning (PF), SF-36 body pain (BP) and SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) (|r|=0.539-0.648). Linear multivariate analyses indicated that work presente-eismand absenteeismwere significantly associated with BASDAI (P<0.01). Conclusion High prevalence of work disability in patients with AS is noted, which is closely related with disease activity and body function;High attention should be paid to AS patients with work disability.

Objective To investigate effects of disease cognitive education and behavior intervention on acute testicular torsion of adolescents. Methods A total of 100 cases with acute adolescent testicular torsion were randomly divided into observation group and control group, and 50 cases in each group. The patients in control group received conventional health education, while patients in observation group were administrated cognitive psychology education and behavioral intervention. We scored health education on testicular torsion knowledge by applying self-made cognitive questionnaire, and then compared the differences of adverse events and compliance of health education between two groups. Results The scores of health education and health compliance on adolescent testicular torsion disease were (95. 65 ± 10. 35) and (80. 30 ± 16. 30) in observation group, while they were (58.15 ±16.85) and (73. 70 ± 17. 20) in control group (t =20. 386, 4. 184; P <0. 05). There was no postoperative incision infection and testicular atrophy in observation group. However, there was 15 incision infection and 10 testicular atrophy in control group (χ2 =14. 326, 10. 358; P<0. 05). Conclusions Public education on testicular torsion knowledge can contribute adolescent patients to be aware of the dangers of testicular torsion, give importance to treatment timing, and increase the rate of early diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness, safety and cost between urinary follicle stimulating hormone (uFSH) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in China.Methods:Data were collected from 16 reproductive centers in China covering oocytes collection time from May 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Eligible patients were over 18 years old, adopting COS with uFSH (uFSH group) or rFSH (rFSH group) as start gonadotropins (Gn), and using in vitro fertilization (IVF) and (or) intracytoplasmic sperm injection for fertilisation, excluding frozen embryo recovery cycle. Generalised estimating equation was used to address the violation of independency assumption between cycles due to multiple IVF cycles for one person and clustering nature of cycles carried out within one center. Controlling variables included age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, cause of infertility, ovulation protocol, type of fertilisation, number of embryos transferred, number of days of Gn use.Results:Totally 102 061 cycles met eligibility criteria and were included in the analyses. In terms of effectiveness, after controlling relevant unbalanced baseline characteristics, compared with rFSH group, the high oocyte retrieval (>15 oocytes was considered high retrieval) rate of uFSH group significantly decreased in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist protocol ( OR=0.642, P<0.01) and in gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol ( OR=0.556, P=0.001), but the clinical pregnancy rate per transfer cycle and the live birth rate per transfer cycle significantly increased ( OR=1.179, OR=1.169, both P<0.01) in both agonist and antagonist protocols. For safety, multiple analysis result demonstrated that in the agonist protocol, compared with rFSH group, the incidence of moderate to severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome of uFSH group significantly decreased ( OR=0.644, P=0.002). The differences in ectopic pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate between the uFSH and rFSH groups were not significant ( P=0.890, P=0.470) in all patients. In terms of cost, compared with rFSH group, the uFSH group had lower total Gn costs for each patient ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients who underwent COS, uFSH has better safety, and economic profiles over rFSH in China.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of video-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence on perioperative adverse outcomes in preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， including cooperation in anesthesia induction， perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation during recovery. MethodsA total of 300 preschool children scheduled for general anesthesia in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly assigned to control group （n=150） and intervention group （n=150）. The control group received routine recovery care. For the intervention group， in addition to routine recovery care， a preoperative visit was scheduled one day before surgery. During this visit， mothers were guided to watch anesthesia videos with their children. During the waiting period in the operating room and 30 minutes after awakening， the mothers were guided to accompany the children for more than 30 minutes. Recovery conditions were recorded using the surgical anesthesia information system， and the children’s anesthetic induction compliance， perioperative anxiety， pain， and agitation were evaluated and recorded using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale （m-YPAS）， the Induction Compliance Scale （ICC）， the Children’s Pain Behavior Scale （FLACC）， and the Pediatric Agitation and Emergence Delirium Scale （PAED）. ResultsOn the preoperative visit day， there were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups （P > 0.05）. For perioperative anxiety， the m-YPAS scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （35.27±6.48 vs. 41.79±6.68， P < 0.05） and 30 minutes after postoperative recovery （20.13±7.05 vs. 35.75±9.51， P < 0.05）. In terms of anesthesia induction cooperation， the ICC scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （1.84±0.95 vs. 3.17±0.62， P < 0.05）， and the proportion of good induction cooperation was significantly higher than that of the control group （24.00% vs. 12.67%， P < 0.05）. There was no significant difference in awakening duration between the two groups， but the intervention group had a significantly shorter length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit than the control group （0.90±0.29 hours vs. 1.29±0.42 hours， P < 0.001）. For perioperative agitation， the PAED scores of the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group （entering in the operating room waiting area： 8.5 vs. 9.2， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 4.2 vs. 7.8， P < 0.05）. In terms of pain scores， the FLACC scores of the intervention group were also significantly lower than those of the control group， both when entering the operating room waiting area （ 5.3 vs. 6.7， P < 0.05； 30 minutes after postoperative recovery： 2.1 vs. 4.9， P < 0.05）. ConclusionsVideo-based educational intervention combined with maternal presence reduces the perioperative anxiety， pain and agitation of preschool children undergoing general anesthesia， and improved the compliance of anesthesia induction. It is recommended to promote this intervention measure in clinical practice.
