Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) has become the main cause of blindness in the world,But the etiology of DR is still not clear,and the results of the studies on the risk factors of DR are not completely consistent.Fully understanding the risk factors of DR has an important clinical value for the prevention and treatment of DR.Objective This study was to analyze the prevalence rate and risk factors of DR inpatients with type 2 diabetes and provide a basis for the establishment of ophthalmic intervention programs and measures for diabetic inpatients.Methods Cross sectional study was performed.Four hundred and seventy three patients with type 2 diabetes in the department of endocrinology,Dongguan People's Hospital from July 2011 to July 2012 were included.The patients were divided into DR group and non diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group.The DR group was subdivided into mild,moderate and severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) group and proliferative DR (PDR) group.The sex and age of patients,course of diabetes,body mass index (BMI),systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose (FBG),2 hours postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1 c),fasting insulin,2 hours postprandial insulin,high density lipoprotein cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol,apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1),APOB,alpha lipoprotein,total cholesterol,three glycerol,urea nitrogen,creatinine,uric acid,percentage of neutrophil,24 hours urinary albumin total (ALBU-24 h) and ALBU were detected.Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between DR and various factors,and the risk factors of DR were screened out.Results The prevalence of DR inpatients with type 2 diabetes was 28.33％,the prevalence of mild,moderate and severe NPDR were 2.54％,16.28％ and 4.23％,respectively,the prevalence of PDR was 5.29％.The prevalence of DME was 10.36％ in the DR patients.The course of diabetes,the levels of serum lipoprotein,creatinine,ALBU-24 h and ALBU were statistically significant between DR group and NDR group (all at P＜0.05).By stepwise Logistic regression analysis,the course of disease,FBG were identified as the independent risk factors of DR (course of disease:odds ratio [OR] =1.155,95 ％ confidence interval [CI]:1.067-1.251;FBG:OR =1.313,95％ CI:1.071-1.610).Conclusions The course of diabetes,lipoprotein,creatinine,ALBU-24h,ALBU are closely related to the occurrence and development of DR.The course of diabetes and FBG are the independent risk factors of DR.

Objective:To observe the clinical features of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in multiple fetuses.Methods:Retrospective clinical study. From December 2009 to June 2018, 758 premature or low-weight multiple fetuses (multiple fetuses group) and 2363 simultaneous single fetuses (single fetuses group) who were admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology and Neonatal Department of Dongguan People’s Hospital and underwent ROP screening were included in the study. Among the multiple pregnancy group, there were 735 twins and 23 triplets; 441 males and 317 females. The mean gestational age was 32.22±2.14 weeks, and the mean body weight was 1.69±0.43 kg. There were 202 of natural births and 556 of cesarean sections. A total of 750 cases have a history of oxygen. Among the singleton group, 1421 were males and 942 were females. The mean gestational age was 32.06±2.52 weeks, and the mean body weight was 1.70±0.46 kg. There were 1146 of natural births and 1217 of cesarean sections. A total of 2333 cases have a history of oxygen. The detection rate of multiple ROP, gestational age, birth weight, sex composition ratio, mode of birth, time of first ROP diagnosis, and severity of ROP were observed. χ2 test was used to compare the rate between groups, and t test was used to compare the mean between groups. Results:Among the multiple pregnancy group, there were 68 cases (8.97%) of ROP. Among them, 64 twins (8.71%, 64/735), 4 triplets (17.39%, 4/23). Among the singleton group, there were 187 cases (7.91%) of ROP. With the increase of fetal number, the detection rate of ROP increased, but there was no significant difference ( χ2=3.097, P=0.213). There was no significant difference in the detection rate of ROP between multiple fetuses and single fetuses ( χ2=0.855, P=0.355). There was no significant difference in sex ratio ( χ2=0.069), mode of production ( χ2=1.900), birth weight ( t=0.139), gestational age ( t=-0.478), and time of first ROP diagnosis ( t=0.371) between ROP cases of multiple fetuses and single fetuses ( P=0.793, 0.168, 0.889, 0.633, 0.371). There was no significant difference in the constituent ratio of severity of ROP lesions between multiple fetuses and single fetuses ( χ2=3.003, P=0.223). Conclusion:There is no significant difference in ROP incidence, gestational age, birth weight, diagnosis time and severity of ROP between multiple fetuses and single fetuses under the same conditions.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of X-ray diagnostic imaging in Shandong province,and to estimate the application frequency of X-ray diagnostic imaging in the province,and provide data support for X-ray equipment.Methods A random sampliug method was used to extract 32 medical institutions as respondents from 10 prefecture-level cities in Shandong province.The basic information of medical institutions and the age,sex,examination and procedure of the subjects were analyzed.The distribution of the X-ray application was analyzed and estimated by using a multiple linear regression model.Results Totally 14 694 085 subjects were surveyed,and the proportion of male and female in the sample was not completely uniform.A total of 2 099 155 X-ray diagnostic information was collected in 2016,and the frequency of conventional radiography was the highest,accounting for 59.49％.The next was CT examination,accounting for 28.34％.The frequency of the two examinations showed an increasing trend with the age of subjects.For the total frequency of conventional diagnostic radiography and CT examination,the tertiary hospitals accounted for the highest proportion of the total,up to 52.13％,while the secondary hospitals accounted for the relatively low proportion of 30.09％,and the primary hospitals the lowest with 17.77％.The chest radiography had the highest proportion in conventional radiography accounting for 32.79％ of the total frequency of X-ray diagnostic imaging,and the head procedure had the highest proportion in CT examination,accounting for 10.07％ of the total frequency of X-ray diagnostic imaging.The fluoroscopy,mammography and dental radiography were mainly concentrated in the tertiary hospitals,and the primary hospitals had mainly radiography.Multiple linear regression models showed that the frequency of application of conventional X-ray diagnostic imaging (including radiography,fluoroscopy,dental radiography and mammography) was positively correlated with equipment quantity,number of outpatient and emergency patients,and tertiary hospitals (t=4.334,3.615,2.339,P＜ 0.05).CT examination was positively correlated with equipment quantity and the number of inpatient (t =2.167,2.595,P＜0.05).The frequency of conventional X-ray diagnostic imaging and CT examination in Shandong province were estimated about 491.17 examinations per 1 000 population and 258.17 examinations per 1 000 population respectively.Conclusions The frequency of X-ray exposure in Shandong province increased significantly compared with that during the " 9th Five-Year Plan" period.All relevant departments should take effective measures to strengthen medical radiation protection and reduce radiation risk.

Objective:To understand the activity concentration of 131I aerosol in the air of the iodine treatment workplace and estimate the internal dose of 131I inhaled by medical staff in nuclear medicine. Methods:Using CF-1001BRL portable large capacity air sampler, the 131I aerosol in the iodine treatment workplace of nuclear medicine department of 6 hospitals in Shandong province was collected by iodine box, and the HPGe-γ energy spectrometer was used to measure the samples. The 131I activity concentration in iodine treatment workplace at 6 hospitals was obtained, and the internal dose to medical staff was estimated. Results:The 131I activity concentration in the air in iodine treatment workplaces at 6 hospitals ranged from 3.64 to 2.94×10 3 Bq/m 3. The 131I activity concentration in the controlled area (ward, patient passageway, subpacking room, operation administration room) was significantly higher than that in the supervised area. The highest 131I activity concentration, 2.62×10 2 Bq/m 3, in the supervised area was found in the medical care passageway. The estimated effective dose to nuclear medicine workers was 0.07-5.68 mSv, not exceeding the national limit. Conclusions:The phenomenon of 131I aerosol contamination still exists in the iodine treatment workplaces of nuclear medicine departments in hospitals, so it is necessary to carry out internal radiation monitoring for nuclear medicine departments all around the country, and explore more reasonable protection standards and methods.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Shoutai Wan （寿胎丸） in treating recurrent miscarriage （RSA） from the perspective of immune tolerance under the acidic microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface. MethodsFemale CBA/J mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， progesterone group， and Shoutai Wan group， with 15 mice in each group. The mice in the normal group and model group were given 0.2 ml distilled water by gavage each day， the Shoutai Wan group given Shoutai Wan decoction 0.15 g/（10 g·d） by gavage， the progesterone group given progesterone tablets 0.44 mg/（10 g·d） by gavage. After gavage for 14 days， the mice were cohabited. Female CBA/J mice in the normal group were mated with male BALB/c mice at a ratio of 2∶1， and female CBA/J mice in the other groups were mated with male DBA/2 mice at a ratio of 2∶1 to establish the RSA mouse model. Vaginal smears were taken from the female mice the next morning， and the appearance of a large number of spermatozoa and the presence of a vaginal plug were considered as the first day of pregnancy. After the appearance of the plug， the mice were continued to be administered according to the previous method until the 10th day of pregnancy. On the 10th day of pregnancy， maternal-fetal interface tissues were collected from each group of mice， and lactate dehydrogenase colorimetric method was used to detect lactate （LA） content； qPCR method and Western blot method were used to detect the expression of immune-related factors interleukin-4 （IL-4）， interferon-gamma （IFN-γ）， transforming growth factor beta 1 （TGF-β1）， and forkhead box protein 3 （Foxp3） mRNA and protein； flow cytometry was used to detect the numbers of helper T lymphocyte 1 （Th1）， helper T lymphocyte 2 （Th2）， regulatory T cell （Treg）， classical macrophage （M1）， and alternative macrophage （M2）. The bivariate Pearson test was used to analyze the correlation between LA content and the numbers of Th1， Th2， Treg， M1， and M2 cells， as well as the correlation between LA content and the expression of IL-4， IFN-γ， TGF-β1， Foxp3 protein， and mRNA. ResultsOn the 10th day of pregnancy， compared with the normal group， the LA content decreased in the model group， and the expression of IL-4， TGF-β1， Foxp3 protein and mRNA in the maternal-fetal interface tissues decreased， while the expression of IFN-γ protein and mRNA increased. The numbers of Th1 and M1 cells increased， while the numbers of Th2， Treg， and M2 cells decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the LA content increased in the Shoutai Wan group and progesterone group. The expression of IL-4， TGF-β1， Foxp3 protein and mRNA in the maternal-fetal interface tissues increased， while the expression of IFN-γ protein and mRNA decreased. The numbers of Th1 and M1 cells decreased， while the numbers of Th2， Treg， and M2 cells increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The LA content was positively correlated with the numbers of Th2， Treg， and M2 cells， and the expression of IL-4， TGF-β1， Foxp3 protein， and mRNA （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the LA content was negatively correlated with the numbers of Th1， M1 cells， and the expression of IFN-γ protein and mRNA （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionShoutai Wan may improve immune tolerance by regulating the expression of immune-related factors in the acidic microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface of RSA model mice， thereby exerting its role in preventing miscarriage.

Objective Tto analyze the spatial distribution and characteristics of the national AIDS/HIV epidemics from 2009 to 2020 to discover its distribution, aggregation, and hot spots, and provide corresponding suggestions for AIDS prevention and control. Methods Spatial autocorrelation analysis, hot spot analysis, and Kriging interpolation prediction were used to describe, analyze, and predicting the spatial distribution of AIDS epidemics across the country. Results The national AIDS incidence and mortality rate increased yearly, but the growth rate shows a downward tendency with uneven spatial distribution,focusing on the southwest and northwest regions; the average annual incidence rate of AIDS ( Moran's I> 0, P < 0. 01) and the average annual mortality rate (Moran's I> 0, P < 0. 01) of the distribution had a positive global spatial correlation, with Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Chongqing,Hunan and Guizhou being the areas with ^“high-high^” clusters of AIDS incidence; Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi,Hunan,Xinjiang and Guizhou were the areas with ^“high-high^” clusters of average annual mortality. The ^“hot spot^” areas were mainly concentrated in the southwestern part of China, and the ^“cold spot^” areas were mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal and northern parts of China; Kriging interpolation predicted that Xinjiang would be the new hot spot area for future epidemics. Conclusion The spatial distribution of AIDS in China is uneven, showing spatial aggregation, hot spots and cold spots coexist, and the high-risk areas will continue to expand in the future.So the prevention and control work should be carried out in a targeted and localized manner.

Objective: To estimate the doses to patients from ERCP operation through experimental measurements. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 56 ERCP operations in three hospitals, and meanwhile, the tube voltage and current, fluoroscopy time, accumulated doses, DAPs (dose-area product) and photographic frames were also recorded for statistical analysis. Three cases of RECP operation that had led to high, medium and low DAP values were selected, respectively, as high, medium and low dose groups based on anthropomorphic phatom (AP). ERCP operation was simulated on AP on the basis of putting TLDs in it. The absorbed doses of organs were measured while effective doses while calculated. Results: The effective doses for high, medium and low groups were 2.69, 11.52 and 39.27 mSv, respectively. The effective dose was 14 times higher in high dose group than that in low group. The highest organ doses for three groups were all concentrated in the irradiation fields. Conclusions Organ doses from ERCP phantom experiments vary largely in different groups. Compared with phantom experiments of other interventional types, ERCP can be regarded as one of interventional means leading to high-dose. It is advisable to reasonably and safely use intervention diagnosis and therapy and in order optimize radiation doses to patients.

Objective To investigate the dose of radiation in children under going X-ray-guided air enema reduction, and to provide a basis for reducing the risk of radiation injury in pediatric patients. Methods Data were collected from children with intussusception who were treated with air enema. The experimental conditions of high, medium, and low doses of three age groups were analyzed. Phantoms were used to simulate the operation, and the radiation dose was measured using a thermoluminescence system. Results In children with intussusception, the success rate of air enema under the guidance of X-ray was 88% (including secondary intussusception), with anearly re-intussusception rate of 8%. The effective dose of treatment ranged from 0.57 to 12.33 mSv, and the tissues and organs with high absorbed dose were mainly in the chest and abdomen. Conclusion Children in different groups are exposed to significantly differentand relatively high doses. The operators are recommended to use ultrasonic guidance. With X-ray guidance, the exposure time should be minimized and protective equipment for children should be used.

Objective By measuring the induced radioactivity of the medical electron linear accelerator, and analyzing the measuring results and the measuring process, the cooling law of the induced radioactivity was studied, to provide basic data for evaluating additional doses to patients, medical staff and the public. Methods Five Medical Electron Linear accelerators were used to measure the induced radioactivity by using automes-6150AD6/H+6150AD-b/H x-γ radiation peripheral dose equivalent rate meter for environmental monitoring. Results The level of induced radioactivity of 5 medical electron linear accelerators is related to the factors such as measuring position and time: 10 second after the end of beam output, the maximum dose equivalent rate is 5.55 μSv/h around 5 cm on the surface of the head housing of the accelerator, and the maximum ambient dose equivalent rate at 1 m from the fixed point of the housing is 4.07 μSv/h, 5 minutes after the end of output, the maximum dose equivalent rate is 2.11 μSv/h around the 5 cm surface and 1.77 μSv/h around the 1 m fixed point. Conclusion The measured radioactivity induced by the medical electron linear accelerator gradually cools over time, the measurement valuesare maintained in a relatively fixed range, and the fluctuation range of the values is narrow.

Objective To explore the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the frequency of chest CT scan. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to extract information on the number of outpatient, emergency, and inpatient visits and patients who had chest CT imaging examination from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and in the same period in 2019 through the hospital’s medical data platform for analysis, and the chi-square test was used to analyze whether the difference in the proportion of patients who had chest CT imaging examination between 2019 and 2020 was statistically significant. Results The proportion of outpatients and emergency patients with chest CT examination was significantly higher in 2020 than in 2019 (2.48% vs 1.47%, χ² = 581.7, P < 0.000). The proportion of inpatients who underwent chest CT examination was significantly higher in 2020 than in 2019 (35.47% vs 28.01%, χ² = 182.0, P < 0.000). Conclusion Under the COVID-19 epidemic, the proportion of chest CT examination in this hospital in 2020 shows a significant upward trend compared with the same period in 2019, which will increase the collective dose due to medical exposure, and the hospital should pay attention to the determination of the legitimacy of chest CT scan.
