Objective:To investigate the relationship between intracellular calcium level and neutrophil migration dysfunction in patients with sepsis.Methods:This study retrospectively collected 21 blood samples of patients with sepsis in the First Hospital of Jilin University from December 2017 to September 2018, and 20 healthy people were included as the control group. Peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated from the healthy controls and patients with sepsis using magnetic-activated cell sorting. Multichannel microfluidic microarray technology was used to detect the chemotactic migration of neutrophils. The levels of calcium in neutrophils from healthy controls and sepsis patients as well as in neutrophils from healthy controls that were pretreated with calcium chelators BAPTA-AM and EDTA were detected by flow cytometry using the calcium indicator Fluo-4.Results:The intracellular calcium levels were lower in neutrophils from sepsis patients than in those from healthy controls ( P<0.01). BAPTA-AM and EDTA could reduce the calcium level in neutrophils of healthy controls ( P<0.01). Microfluidics revealed that the migration speed, distance and gap-passing rate of neutrophils in microfluidics were significantly reduced after the decrease of intracellular calcium ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Reduced calcium levels in neutrophils of patients with sepsis may be closely related to the decreased cell migration. This study suggests that the migration impairment of neutrophils can be improved by regulating intracellular calcium levels, which provides a new idea for further research.
2.Campus bullying victimization and its influencing factors among middle school students in Dalian
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(10):1512-1515
Objective:
To describe bullying victimization of middle school students in Dalian and associated factors, so as to provide scientific basis for campus bullying prevention.
Methods:
The stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2 540 middle school students from urban and rural areas in Dalian, who were investigated with campus bullying victimization and related factors.
Results:
The reported rate of campus bullying victimization among middle school students in Dalian was 25.11%. The rates of physical violence (5.99%, 3.66%) and verbal violence(24.93%, 15.87%) of male students were higher than that of female students( χ 2=6.56, 27.94, P <0.05). The rates of verbal violence (22.84%, 16.25%) and emotional neglect(16.84%, 13.18%) of junior high school students were higher than those of high school students( χ 2=14.21, 5.44, P < 0.05 ). The rates of physical violence(6.07%, 3.55%), verbal violence(24.58%, 16.05%) and emotional neglect(18.88%, 12.06 %) of rural students were higher than those of urban students( χ 2=7.72, 24.81, 19.64, P <0.05). Male students, junior high school students and rural students suffered more severe campus bullying than female students, high school students and urban students( Z =3.46, 3.75, 5.89, P <0.01). The structural equation model showed that academic performance (path coefficient -0.003) and father s education (path coefficient -0.004 ) have a direct negative effect on campus bullying behavior, while mother s education (indirect action coefficient -0.000 8), height(indirect action coefficient -0.000 3), father s education (indirect action coefficient -0.000 3) and weight (indirect action coefficient 0.000 2) indirect effects on campus bullying through academic performance.
Conclusion
The prevalence of campus bullying victimization among middle school students in Dalian is relatively high, which worths further attention to. Rural students, junior high school students and boys are more likely to suffer campus bullying. Improving academic performance might be beneficial for campus bullying prevention.

Objective:To evaluate the implementation of the China Healthcare Improvement Initiative(CHII)from 2018 to 2020 in 143 tertiary public hospitals in China.Methods:In March 2019 and from January to March in 2021, 143 tertiary public hospitals in 31 provinces of China were investigated using the unified " medical institution questionnaire Ⅰ" and " medical institution Questionnaire Ⅱ" . The data were collected by means of hospital self-report and expert on-site scoring. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were used to analyze the data, and the data of two cross-sectional surveys were compared and analyzed.Results:The average score rate of implementing CHII in 143 sample hospitals in 2020 was 88.9%, which was higher than that in 2018(84.4%). The appointment diagnosis and treatment system, clinical pathway management system, day service, smart hospital and humanistic service were significantly improved. In 2020, the average score rate of logistics service, high quality nursing service and clinical pathway management system was higher than 95%, while the average score rate of day service, telemedicine system and medical social work system was lower than 85%. The total score rate of general hospitals was significantly higher than that of specialized hospitals( P<0.001). In 2020, the proportion of hospitals with full marks in 29 secondary indicators(74.4%)was more than 80%, reaching the standard level. Conclusions:The implementation level of CHII in tertiary public hospitals in China has been improved continuously and made significant progress, but some dimensions and indicators need to be further improved.

Objective:
Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) is one of the severe complications of ischemic stroke thrombolysis. Several prognostic scales have been developed to predict the risk of sICH. The performance of seven scales was compared in a single center cohort.
Methods:
Data of patients with consecutive ischemic stroke who received 0.9 mg/kg intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombolysis within 4.5 h time window from stroke onset were collected. Seven scales that can provide an estimate of risk of sICH were identified and evaluated: Hemorrhage After Thrombolysis (HAT), blood Sugar, Early infarct signs, (hyper) Dense cerebral artery sign, Age, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale (SEDAN), Stroke Prognostication using Age and NIH Stroke Scale (SPAN)-100, Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SITS), Total Health Risks In Vascular Events (THRIVE), Glucose at presentation, Race (Asia), Age, Sex (male), systolic blood Pressure at presentation, and Severity of stroke at presentation (NIH Stroke Scale; GRASPS) and Multicenter Stroke Survey (MSS). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated and Logistic regression and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were also performed.
Results:
The current study included 293 patients, of whom 7.85% (23/293) had sICH by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (SICHNINDS), 5.46% (16/293) by Europe Cooperative Acute Stroke Study Ⅱ (SICHECASSⅡ) and 4.44% (13/293) by Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SICHSITS) criteria. SEDAN had the highest AUROC for predicting sICH: sICHNINDS: AUROC=0.843,
