Objective:To summarize the clinical features of intestinal Beh?et′s disease, so as to provide reference for the diagnosis of the disease.Methods:From April 1 2014 to January 31 2019, the clinical data of 47 patients diagnosed as intestinal Beh?et′s disease at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, which included initial symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, complications, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), the levels of C reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin, serum albumin, results of acupuncture test, gastrointestinal involved site and ulcer shape. At the same time, gender differences of clinical manifestations were compared. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 47 patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease, the initial symptoms of 26 (55.3%) cases were gastrointestinal symptoms. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom, the others were diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal distension and perianal abscess, and the incidence rate was 80.9%(38/47), 46.8% (22/47), 42.6% (20/47), 36.2% (17/47) and 2.1% (1/47), respectively. The main complications were gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation and obstruction, and the incidence rates was 40.4% (19/47), 4.3% (2/47) and 4.3% (2/47), respectively. Thirty-seven (78.7%) patients had different degrees of hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin<35 g/L). The CRP level of 36(76.6%) patients increased. The ESR of 36 (76.6%) patients increased. Twenty-two (46.8%) patients had mild anemia (hemoglobin<90 g/L). The acupuncture test was positive in 25 (53.2%) patients. The involved sites of gastrointestinal tract were terminal ileum and ileocecal junction, colon, esophagus, duodenum and jejunum, stomach, and rectum, the proportion was 57.4% (27/47), 27.2% (13/47), 23.4% (11/47), 23.4% (11/47), 17.0% (8/47) and 8.5% (4/47), respectively. All 47 (100.0%) patients had oral ulcers. 62.1%(18/29) patients presented with multiple ulcers under endoscope. The shape of ulcer was round ulcer, irregular ulcer, and longitudinal ulcer, the proportion was 48.3% (14/29), 34.5% (10/29) and 17.2 (5/29), respectively. The incidence rate of genital ulcer of female patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease was higher than that of male patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease (85.7%, 18/21 vs. 30.8%, 8/26), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=14.189, P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the female group and the male group in the incidence rate of oral ulcer, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and positive rate of acupuncture test (100.0%, 21/21 vs. 100.0%, 26/26; 85.7%, 18/21 vs. 76.9%, 20/26; 42.9%, 9/21 vs. 50.0%, 13/26; 52.4%, 11/21 vs. 58.3%, 14/26, all P>0.05). Conclusions:The common clinical symptoms of intestinal Beh?et′s disease are oral ulcers, abdominal pain, diarrhea and genital ulcer. Female patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease are more likely to develop genital ulcer than male patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease. Multiple ulcers are more common under endoscopy, which are round ulcer, irregular ulcer and longitudinal ulcer. The most common sites are the terminal ileum and ileocecal junction, followed by colon, esophagus and other parts.

Objective The present study conducted a comprehensive literature review and visualization analysis of both domestic and international research on the utilization of hemodialysis water over the past two decades,aiming to gain insights into the current research status,identify prominent areas of interest,and highlight future development trends in this field,thereby of-fering valuable references for subsequent studies.Methods By employing bibliometric analysis,the relevant literature on hemo-dialysis water usage was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection(WoSCC)database and China National Knowledge Network(CNKI)for the period between 2004 and 2024.Subsequently,an in-depth examination of countries,research institu-tions,authors,and keywords associated with these publications was conducted.The visualization map was generated using CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software.Results A total of 3 304 papers were included,with 147 in Chinese and 3 157 in English.Over the past two decades,there has been a consistent upward trend in the number of publications both domestically and international-ly,although the growth rate of domestic literature lags behind that of foreign countries.The United States,China,and Japan rank as the top three countries in terms of publication volume,with the United States exhibiting the highest centrality.Foreign coun-tries tend to form small research groups with close institutional collaborations,while domestic research teams and institutions are relatively dispersed.Currently,foreign research primarily focuses on Fabrication,Ultrafiltration Membranes and Performance;meanwhile,domestic research emphasizes infection control,quality control,and daily maintenance.Conclusion From 2004 to 2024,both domestic and international researchers have consistently focused on water research for hemodialysis.However,China lags behind foreign countries in this field,necessitating enhanced collaboration among nations,institutions,and regions to broad-en the scope and depth of domestic research.

Objective To explore the role and mechanism of tumor necrosis factor ligand -related molecule 1A (TL1A) in chronic experimental colitis associated intestinal fibrosis .Methods The model of chronic experimental colitis-associated intestinal fibrosis was induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS).The mice with high TL1A (L-Tg) expression in lymphoid cells and wild -type mice with the same genetic background were divided into wild type control group, wild type DSS group, transgenic control group and transgenic DSS group.The changes of body mass, length of colon, disease activity index (DAI) and colonic pathological score were compared among different groups .The degree of colonic inflammation was evaluated by Hematoxylin -Eosin (H-E) staining.The degree of intestinal fibrosis was assessed by Masson staining and Sirius red staining .The expression of vimentin, αsmooth muscle actin ( α-SMA), type Ⅰ collagen, Ⅲ collagen and transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) /Smad3 in colon tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry .T test was performed for statistical analysis.Results The body mass of the transgenic DSS group decreased by (9.6 ± 1.8)％, which was more than wild-type DSS group (6.2 ±1.3)％, the difference was statistically significant (t =3.751, P <0.01).The DAI score and colonic pathological score of transgenic DSS group were both higher than those of wild-type DSS group (7.33 ±0.58 vs.6.00 ±1.00, and 14.00 ±1.05 vs.11.75 ±0.50, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (t =2.818 and 4.739, both P <0.05).The results of Masson staining and Sirius red staining showed aggravation of intestinal fibrosis .The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the cumulative positive absorbance values of vimentin , α-SMA, TGF-β1 and Smad3 of wild-type DSS group were lower than those of transgenic DSS group (0.650 ±0.050 vs. 0.800 ±0.020, 0.390 ±0.040 vs.0.600 ±0.040, 0.550 ±0.040 vs.0.730 ±0.040, 0.590 ±0.020 vs. 0.830 ±0.040), and the differences were statistically significant (t =6.823, 9.093, 7.794 and 10.390, all P <0.01).Conclusion TL1A may promote the proliferation and activation of fibroblasts through TGF -β1 /Smad3 pathway, leading to the genesis and development of experimental colitis associated intestinal fibrosis .

Objective:To analysis effectiveness of the "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and "nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy (combined screening strategy) for screenin the imported patients with COVID-19 in Xiamen.Methods:The study populations were overseas travelers arriving in Xiamen from March 17 to December 31, 2020, and overseas travelers who had quarantine outside Xiamen for less than 21 days from July 18 to December 31, 2020. Data were collected and analyzed on the timing of detection, pathways, and test results of the imported patients with COVID-19 after implementing combined screening strategy.Results:A total of 304 imported patients with COVID-19 were found from 174 628 overseas travelers and 943 overseas travelers from other cities. A total of 163 cases (53.6%) were diagnosed by multitime, multisite intensive nucleic acid testing after positive finding in total antibody testing. Among them, 27 (8.9%) were first positive for nucleic acid in 14 plus 7 day quarantine and 136 were first positive for nucleic acid in 14-day quarantine. Only 8 of these individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after positive total antibody testing. The other 128 individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after being negative for average 2.3 times (maximum of 6 times). Aditional 155 cases might be detected by using the combined "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and " nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy compared with "14-day quarantine and nucleic acid testing" strategy, accounting for 51.0% of the total inbound infections. So the combined screening strategy doubled the detection rate for imported patients with COVID-19. No second-generation case caused by overseas travelers had been reported in Xiamen as of February 26, 2021.Conclusions:Xiamen's combined screening strategy can effectively screen the imported patients with COVID-19 who were first positive for nucleic acid after 14 day quarantine. Compared with "14 day quarantine and nucleic acid testing", the combined screening strategy improved detection rate and further reduced the risk of the secondary transmission caused by the imported patients with COVID-19.
