Objective To explore anxiety and depression status in patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) and benign essential blepharospasm (BEB), and the change after botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) therapy. Methods Ninety idiopathic HFS patients and 90 BEB patients. The anxiety and depression statud was evaluated by using SAS and SDS before and after the injection of BTX-A. Results Before treatment, the SAS and SDS standard scores of the HFS patients were 41.25 ±6.35and 42.25 ±7.57, respectively. The SAS scores were 40.17 ± 8.36 in the male and 43.56 ± 6.10in female(P=0.031). The SDS scores were 40.25 ± 6.46 in the male and 45.48 ± 7.31 in the female(P=0.008). After treatment, the SAS and SDS standard scores were 30.12 ± 4.35(P=0.000)and 30.58 ± 4.89(P=0.000)respectively. There was significant difference inbetween before and after treatment. In BEB patients, before treatment, The SAS standard scores were 58.90±10.61, 58.78±9.89. The SAS of the male and female patients scored 56.45 ± 8.75, 60.89 ± 9.11 (P=0.017), The SDS of the male and female patients scored 57.90 ± 7.93, 60.12 ± 8.35 (P=0.011)respectively. After treatment, the SAS standard score were 38.17 ± 3.67 (P=0.000), and the SDS standard score were 38.12 ± 4.15 (P=0.001)respectively. these two scores were significantly different between before and after treatment. Conclusion HFS and BEB patients, especially female patients are associated with anxiety and depression. BTX-A can improve the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Chronic diseases have grown into a major public health threat affecting social development. The traditional management of chronic diseases tends to characterize " prioritizing treatment and neglecting prevention" . In this study, big data application, knowledge management, knowledge service and other theories and methods in the information management discipline were put in practice of chronic disease management. Thanks to the construction of a multi-source and heterogeneous chronic disease database, a chronic disease health knowledge analysis platform and a chronic disease service application platform, the following objectives were achieved. These included the data interconnections between patients′ self-testing data and medical institutions′ data in chronic disease data management, the integration and accurate delivery of chronic disease health knowledge, and personalized and accurate services covering the whole process of chronic disease management, namely prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.Since August 2019, this management mode has been used to build a diabetes big data platform. By January 2022, 380 million pieces of diagnosis, treatment and management data were collected from about 2.16 million residents, with the accuracy rate of 97.46% and the integrity rate of 96.07%. Corresponding knowledge base and service platform were built, and personalized service was provided to diabetes patients. These measures improvd the awareness rate, treatment rate, treatment control rate, science popularization and communication rate covering both diabetes patients and community residents.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax (VEN) combined with azacitidine (AZA) versus CAG regimen combined with decitabine (DAC) in elderly patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:From January 2018 to August 2020, the clinical data of forty-five elderly patients with relapse AML at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed, including 31 males and 14 females. The median age was 66 (60-80) years old. Eighteen patients were administrated with VEN and AZA, while the other 27 were in CAG with DAC. The complete remission (CR) rate, partial remission (PR) rate, total remission rate (ORR), adverse events and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups.Results:At the end of the treatment, the ORR in VEN with AZA group was 77.8% (14/18); including 11 CR and 3 PR. In CAG with DAC group, the ORR was 37.0% (10/27); including 8 CR and 2 PR ( P=0.007). Subgroup analysis suggested that VEN with AZA had a higher ORR in patients stratified as intermediate and poor-risk ( P=0.013) or with DNA methylation mutations ( P=0.007). Main adverse events in both groups were bone marrow suppression, infections, nausea and vomiting, anorexia and fatigue. Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ cytopenia developed in lower incidence of VEN with AZA group, such as leukopenia (66.7% vs. 100%, P=0.002), anemia (50.0% vs. 92.6%, P=0.002), thrombocytopenia (72.2% vs. 96.3%, P=0.031) and neutropenia (61.1% vs. 92.6%, P=0.014). In addition, less grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ infections occurred in VEN with AZA group (66.7% vs. 33.3%, P=0.028), as well as grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ gastrointestinal events (40.7% vs. 11.1%, P=0.032), grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ fatigue (55.6% vs.11.1%, P=0.003) compared with CAG with DAC group. The 1-year OS in VEN with AZA group versus CAG with DAC group was 42.9% and 31.6% respectively ( P=0.150). Conclusion:VEN combined with AZA proves favorable efficacy and tolerablity in elderly patients with relapsed AML.
