ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of vitamin E in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochran Library, Embase, OVID/NEJM, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were searched for the articles on vitamin E in the treatment of NAFLD in children published up to December 2019. The data of 8 parameters were analyzed, i.e., body mass index (BMI), liver enzymes ［alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)］, blood lipid levels ［triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)］, and remission rate of hepatic steatosis. RevMan 5.3 was used to perform a Meta-analysis. Continuous variables were analyzed by standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI), and the changes after intervention were analyzed; categorical variables were analyzed by risk difference (RD) and 95%CI. A fixed effects model was used for homogeneous data, and a random effects model was used for heterogeneous data. Funnel plots were used to evaluate publication bias. ResultsA total of 599 articles were retrieved, among which 9 were included in the Meta-analysis, with 607 subjects in total. Vitamin E significantly improved the level of ALT (SMD = -0.27, 95%CI: -0.48 to -0.06, P=0.01), but it did not improve the levels of BMI (SMD=-0.09, 95%CI: -0.28 to 0.10, P=0.34), AST (SMD=-020, 95%CI: -0.42 to 0.02, P=0.07), TG (SMD=-0.19, 95%CI: -0.51 to 0.12, P=0.22), TCHO (SMD=-0.11, 95%CI: -0.31 to 0.08, P=0.24), HDL (SMD=-0.02, 95%CI: -0.27 to 0.23, P=0.88), LDL (SMD= -0.04, 95%CI: -0.27 to 019, P=072), and the remission rate of hepatic steatosis (RD=0.06, 95%CI: -0.05 to 0.17, P=0.29). ConclusionVitamin E can significantly improve the level of ALT in children with NAFLD and can be considered as an adjuvant drug for clinical treatment.

Objective:To determine a simpler and more practical scoring standard for predicting mucosal histological healing in ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods:From April 11, 2017 to February 8, 2021, 68 UC patients diagnosed with mucosal healing under endoscopy and hospitalized at Department of Gastroenterology, the Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University and during the same period 60 healthy individuals who underwent endoscopy for health checkup were retrospectively analyzed. Modified Mayo score and ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity (UCEIS), the modified Nancy index and Robarts histopathology index were determined based on the collected clinical data, endoscopic reports and histopathological evaluation. The proportions of neutrophils, eosinophils, and plasma cells in the colonic mucosal lamina propria were calculated. The proportions of activated neutrophils and T cells in the colonic mucosal lamina were calculated according to CD177 and CD40L, respectively. The new clinical and laboratory diagnostic formulas were determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis, the effectiveness of the equations was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:Among the 68 patients with UC, the modified Mayo score was 0.7 (0.4, 1.1), the UCEIS was 0.5 (0.3, 0.8), the Nancy index was 5.9±3.2, and the Robarts histopathology index was 2.6±1.7. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, the formula for clinical diagnosis of histological healing was Y1=-21.09+ 355.9 X1+ 305.8 X2+ 44.91 X3 ( X1, X2 and X3 were the proportions of neutrophils, eosinophils, and plasma cells, respectively). The results of ROC analysis indicated that Y1<-0.747 was the cut-off value of diagnosis of histological healing, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.986 and 95% confidence interval ( CI) was 0.922 to 1.000 ( P<0.001), the sensitivity was 97.10% and the specificity was 91.20%. The formula of laboratory diagnosis of histological healing was Y2=-10.57+ 469.1 X1 + 132.7 X2 + 101.2 X3 + 18.56 X4 ( X1, X2, X3, and X4 were the proportions of CD177 + neutrophils, eosinophils, CD40L + T cells and plasma cells, respectively). The results of ROC analysis indicated that Y2<1.960 was the cut-off value of diagnosis of histological healing, and the AUC was 0.980, 95% CI was 0.913 to 0.999 ( P<0.001), the sensitivity was 84.78%, and the specificity was 100.00%. The new clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria were positively correlated with the Nancy histological index ( r=0.411 and 0.308, P=0.001 and 0.011), and Robarts histopathology index ( r=0.311, 0.273, P=0.010 and 0.024). Conclusions:Compared with the Nancy index, the new clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria are simpler and more practical. The new clinical diagnostic formula Y1<-0.747 and the new laboratory diagnosis formula Y2<1.960 are the independent factors for predicting histological healing in UC patients.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of percutaneous kyphoplasty ( PKP ) under the guidance of G arm X ray machine in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). Methods The medical records of eighty-two patients (94 vertebral bodies) with OVCF treated with PKP were collected retrospectively. Thirty-nine cases ( 44 vertebral bodies ) were guided by G-arm X-ray machine to implement PKP,which were recorded as G-arm group. Forty-three cases (50 vertebral bodies) were guided by C-arm X-ray machine to carry out PKP,which were recorded as C-arm group. The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy times, bone cement leakage cases, preoperative and postoperative anterior height of injured vertebrae,Cobb angle of injured vertebrae,visual analogue scale scores and Oswestry disability index of the two groups were recorded. Results There was significant difference in operation time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times between the G-arm group and C-arm group (the operation time:(31. 6±5. 2) vs. (45. 8±6. 7) min,the intraoperative fluoroscopy times: (9. 5±2. 3) times vs. (18. 7±3. 5) times,t=-10. 64,-13. 91,P<0. 05) ,while there was no significant difference in the number of bone cement leakage ( P>0. 05) . Compared postoperative and preoperative anterior height of injured vertebrae, Cobb angle of injured vertebrae, visual analogue scale scores and Oswestry disability index scores of G-arm group and C-arm group respectively, the differences were significant ( t=-3. 41 vs. -3. 28, 6. 67 vs. 7. 66, 26. 63 vs. 25. 75 and 10. 41 vs. 11. 90, P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion The treatment of OVCF with PKP guided by G-arm X-ray machine could significantly shorten operation time, reduce the intraoperative fluoroscopy times and the operative difficulty,and increase operation safety than PKP guided by traditional C-arm X-ray machine.

Cases of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid and antibody (IgM and IgG total antibody) after discharge from a hospital in Chongqing were continuously monitored. It was found that 5 cases of "re-positive" phenomenon, 5 cases of antibody were positive, and there was a trend of increasing with time. "Re-Positive" may be related to the following three factors. Children with asymptomatic infection had a long time of fecal detoxification.There were two consecutive nucleic acid tests "false negative" caused by various reasons.The virus clearance in patients was not complete, and the discharge standard was not conservative enough. The analysis of the causes of "Re-Positive" patients and the discussion of its infection will help us reveal more characteristics of this virus, and to provide a new basis for the discharge standard in the constantly updated diagnosis and treatment programme.
