Objective To investigate the effect of urinary kallidinogenase on serum concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S),neuron-specific enolase (NSE),and S100β in patients with cerebral infarction (CI).Methods From June 2011 to June 2014,80 patients with CI were chosen as study objectives.All patients were divided into two groups:40 patients in study group (urinary kallidinogenase group),and 40 patients in control group.The death rate,the rate of complication and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were compared between two groups.The concentrations of H2S,NSE,and S100βwas compared between two groups.Results In study group,the death rate was 5.00％ (2/40),the rate of complication was 22.50％ (9/40);in control group,the death rate was 12.50％ (5/40),the rate of complication was 15.00％ (6/40);and no significant significance was found between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The NIHSS was (11.2 ± 3.2) in the study group,and (15.7 ± 2.7) in the control group,with statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the concentrations of H2 S,NSE,and S100β of two groups were decreased significantly (P ＜0.05).At 1w,2w,and 3w,the concentrations of H2S,NSE and S100βhad statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Urinary kallidinogenase has a cerebral protective effect,which can decrease the concentration of H2S,and increase the concentrations of NSE and S100βin CI patients.

Objective To determine the changes in serum and urine vitamin D binding protein ( VDBP) concentrations in type 2 diabetes, and to explore the clinical significance. Methods The serum and urine VDBP concentrations in 102 healthy individuals and 106 type 2 diabetic patients were determined by ELISA. For analysis and comparison, 106 type 2 diabetic patients were divided into imperfect glycemic control subgroup and perfect glycemic control subgroup, microalbuminuria subgroup and normal albuminuria subgroup. Results The cut-off point of serum VDBP concentrations was 60. 6 μg/ ml and the cut-off point of the urine ratio of VDBP and creatinine was 7. 76 mg/ g, and both were determined according to the upper limit of 97. 5 % credit intervals in 110 healthy individuals. Serum VDBP concentration and the urine ratio of VDBP to creatinine in type 2 diabetic patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy individuals ( P < 0. 01 ), the imperfect glycemic control subgroup had higher serum VDBP concentrations and the urine ratio of VDBP to creatinine than those in the perfect glycemic control subgroup ( P <0. 05). The microalbuminuria subgroup had higher urine ratio of VDBP to creatinine than that in the normal albuminuria subgroup ( P<0. 01). Urine ratio of VDBP to creatinine in diagnosing early diabetic nephropathy had sensitivity of 96. 4 % , specificity of 68 % , and concordance of 83% . Conclusion Detection of serum VDBP levels has some reference value in understanding the state of diabetes. Combined determinations of urine ratio of VDBP to creatinine and ratio of albumin to creatinine have significant clinical value in the early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To analyze the expression of interleukin ( IL)-17A in a mouse model of bleomycin ( BLM)-induced systemic sclerosis ( SSc) and to evaluate its effects on inflammation and fibrosis in skin and lung tissues. Methods Twenty-four female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups:normal control group ( mice were subcutaneously injected with phosphate buffer ) , model group (subcutaneously injected with BLM), antibody group (injected with BLM + IL-17A monoclonal antibody), homotypic control group ( injected with BLM + isotype control) . Pathological changes in skin and lung tis-sues of those mice were observed;inflammatory and fibrotic scores were assessed. Immunohistochemistry and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR ( RT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of IL-17A, TGF-β1 and typeⅠ collagen in skin and lung tissues of those mice at mRNA level. Mouse lung fibroblasts ( FB) de-rived from the mice of model group were cultured in vitro and then were cultured with IL-17A cytokines with or without the interference of monoclonal antibodies. Expression of typeⅠ collagen and TGF-β1 at mRNA level and levels of IL-6 and TGF-β1 in the culture supernatants were detected by RT-PCR and enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay ( ELISA) , respectively. Results Compared with the mice of model and homotypic control groups, those of the antibody group showed mild skin thickening, skin inflammation and lung inflam-mation as well as lower fibrosis scores (P<0. 05). The expression of IL-17A at both protein and mRNA lev-els and the expression of TGF-β1 and collagen typeⅠat mRNA level in skin and lung tissues of mice of the antibody group were significantly lower than those of the model and homotypic control group (P<0. 05). Re-sults of the in vitro cell culture of SSc mice-derived lung FB with IL-17A showed that the expression of TGF-β1 and typeⅠ collagen at mRNA level and the levels of IL-6 and TGF-β1 in the culture supernatants were decreased with the interference of anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody (P<0. 05), but were still higher than those of the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion IL-17A promotes the development of inflammation and fibrosis in skin and lung tissues in the mouse model of SSc. Blocking IL-17A might inhibit fibrosis in SSc by inhibiting the production of TGF-β1, IL-6 and typeⅠ collagen.

Objective:To analyze the abnormal vestibular function of Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) and to explore its diagnostic value.Methods:WE patients who visited the Vertigo Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected. All patients were evaluated by clinical neurology. Before treatment, all patients completed video head impulse test (vHIT) and video nystagmusgraphy (VNG) in addition to cranial magnetic resonance and serum thiamine level examination.Results:All 12 patients had a history of eating defects, including 8 cases of alcoholism. All 12 patients had walking instability, 7 cases had dizziness and 8 cases had oscillopsia. Six cases had ophthalmoplegia. All 12 cases showed positive gaze nystagmus. The pathological saccades of bilateral horizontal semicircular canals were found in 12 patients by vHIT before treatment, but there was only 1 patient showing abnormality in vertical semicircular canals, the difference being statistically significant ( P<0.05). All patients could detect bilateral, horizontal, gaze-evoked nystagmus, including 3 cases with vertical nystagmus, 1 case with abnormal saccade test, 3 cases with abnormal smooth tracking test and 1 case with abnormal optokinetic test. There were abnormalities in the caloric test, including 6 cases of bilateral dysfunction and 2 cases of unilateral dysfunction. Conclusions:WE patients may have abnormal vHIT and bilateral, horizontal, gaze-evoked nystagmus, which is similar to the special abnormal signs of simultaneous damage of both peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction.Vestibular function test is valuable for diagnosis of WE, and it is suitable for patients with a history of nutritional disorders who have dizziness or walking instability and suspected WE.

Digital reform serves as powerful driver for high-quality development of hospitals. Taking the problems existing in the decision-making mechanism of major issues as a breakthrough, a tertiary hospital used digital thinking to optimize the decision-making mechanism. The hospital took such means as optimizing the rules of procedure, strengthening the pre-decision assessment, clarifying the principle of " two initiatives" , improving the " No.1 issue" system, strengthening the linkage between the Party committee and meeting the president′s office meeting, and standardizing the supervision and implementation. By such means, the hospital successfully built a smart, efficient, coordinated, and closed-loop operation and management system, desirably strengthening the leadership and core role of the Party committee, enhancing the president′s overall management of business work, as well as improving the decision completion rate and feedback rate.

Based on the ideas of management systemization, system standardization, process specialisation, post accountability, duty formalization, form informatization, information digitization and digital intelligence, the smart, mobile and paperless bedside billing service was developed which incorporated both functional and financial prospects. The innovation was realized by Internet+ bedside billing and an integrated information platform, so that the inter-hospital billing system could be connected to the medical insurance system, electrical receive system and commercial insurance system. This saved manpower and equipment deployment, and improved service quality. The bedside intelligent mobile billing system of a hospital was launched in January 2021, and the average discharge billing time of inpatients in 2020 and 2021 was 44.36 min and 30.59 min, respectively, and the online billing fee time was significantly shorter than offline billing in 2021, and the differences were all significant( P<0.01).

Objective: To compare the time of the recovery of neutrophils or leukocytes by pegylated recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) or common recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) in the myelosuppressive phase after induction chemotherapy in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. At the same time, the incidences of infection and hospitalization were compared. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in patients with newly diagnosed AML who met the enrollment criteria from August 2014 to December 2017. The patients were randomly divided into two groups according to a 1:1 ratio: PEG-rhG-CSF group and rhG-CSF group. The time of neutrophil or leukocyte recovery, infection rate and hospitalization interval were compared between the two groups. Results: 60 patients with newly diagnosed AML were enrolled: 30 patients in the PEG-rhG-CSF group and 30 patients in the rhG-CSF group. There were no significant differences in age, chemotherapy regimen, pre-chemotherapy ANC, WBC, and induction efficacy between the two groups (P>0.05) . The median time (range) of ANC or WBC recovery in patients with PEG-rhG-CSF and rhG-CSF were 19 (14-35) d and 19 (15-26) d, respectively, with no statistical difference (P=0.566) . The incidences of infection in the PEG-rhG-CSF group and the rhG-CSF group were 90.0%and 93.3%, respectively, and there was no statistical difference (P=1.000) . The median days of hospitalization (range) was 20.5 (17-49) days and 21 (19-43) days, respectively, with no statistical difference (P=0.530) . Conclusions In AML patients after induction therapy, there was no significant difference between the application of PEG-rhG-CSF and daily rhG-CSF in ANC or WBC recovery time, infection incidence and hospitalization time.
