Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features of lymphomatoid granulomatosis(LG).Methods The data of clinic and the results of pathological study of brain biopsy which stained by immunohistochemical method were reviewed in one case with LG.Results The patient was presented with headache,dizzy,slurred speech and myasthenia of limbs.MRI showed abnormal signals on bilateral cerebral white matter,pons,cerebellum and cervical-thoracic spinal cord.Gd-enhanced imaging showed punctiform enhancement.The protein and IgG in cerebrospinal fluid elevated slightly.Brain biopsy showed angiocentric,angiodestructive granuloma formation combined with infiltration of multiple cells.The infiltrated cells confirmed immunohistochemically were lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes.In situ hybridization technique showed EBV positive.The status of this patient improved after radiotherapy and glucocorticosteroid treatment.Conclusion LG lacks characteristic features in clinic,laboratory and radiological examinations,so the pathological examination is important for diagnosis of this disease.

Objective To translate the English version of Comprehensive Frailty Assessment Instrument (CFAI) into Chinese and evalu-ate its reliability and validity. Methods CFAI was translated into Chinese with the Brislin's translation mode. From May to July, 2015, 200 community aged people in Shijiazhuang, China were assessed with the Chinese version of CFAI and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), and 30 of them were assessed with CFAI again after a week. The content validity was rated by six experts of gereology. The total scores of CFAI and WHOQOL-BREF were analyzed with Pearson's correlation, as well as the scores of CFAI test and retest. The CFAI were analyzed with Factor Analysis. The Cronbach's α was tested. Results There were 23 items in 4 dimensions. The content validity index was 0.782. Six factors were extracted by Factor Analysis and the cumulated variance was 64.05%. The total score of CFAI correlated with the score of WHOQOL-BREF (r=-0.764, P<0.001). The Cronbach's α was 0.704~0.897 in dimensions (P<0.001), and the r= 0.604~0.941 (P<0.001) between test and retest. Conclusion The Chinese version of CFAI is reliable and valid, that can be applied to evaluate frailty in community aged people.

Objective To develop the Chinese version of mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (mini-BESTest) and evaluate its reliability. Methods Chinese version of mini-BESTest was developed following the process of translation, reverse translation, cultural adaptation and pre-experiment. 61 Chinese patients with stroke were tested with it by 2 testers, and 30 patients in them were tested again in 48 h. The inter-class coefficient (ICC) of testers and test-retest, and the Cronbach's α among the total score and 4 factors scores were calculated. Results The ICC of testers of 4 factors were 0.856- 0.978 (P<0.01), ICC of test- retest were 0.795- 0.951 (P<0.01). The Cronbach's α were 0.794-0.905 (P<0.01). Conclusion The Chinese version of mini-BEStest is reliable for patients with stroke.

Objective To explore the design of forehead flap pedicled with supratrochlear artery and shift way for aesthetic reconstruction of the nose without secondary operations for debulking.Methods Origin of blood supplies and the distributed situation of the vessel in the frontal region were studied through the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery X-ray angiography.The frontal region existed polyphyletic blood supplies,the supratrochlear artery and the supraorbital artery set out many branches,respectively,in the level of frontal bone eyebrow plane.One constant,thicker horizontal branch from the superficial temporal artery obviously extended to the forehead median.The branches from three blood vessels mentioned above constituted the network of artery adequate in the muscle and the subcutaneous tissue level,assumed the three-dimensional distribution in the forchead region.The nasal reconstruction had been done for 9 patients with the oblique orientation designed forehead flap by using one side of supratrochlear artery as the pedicle and cutting skin paddle with the same or the opposite side of forehead flap.Results All flap survived completely with the restoration of nasal shape and functional satisfaction.Conclusion The forehead oblique orientation flap pedicled with one side supratrochlear artery is nourished by the rich blood supply.The flap can be split into two flaps:a myofascial flap and a skin flap in far part.Myofascial flap may be the good package of cartilage framework,and simultaneously split skin flap is favorable of the shape models.The flap may satisfy the demand of the nasal restoration.

Objective To assess the ability of quantitative ultrasound index to predict the severity of CCl4?induced liver fibrosis in a rat model us?ing logistic regression analysis. Methods In a rat model of 40%CCl4?induced liver fibrosis,ultrasound detected the portal vein diameter,blood flow velocity,and Young's modulus. The degree of hepatic fibrosis was determined using a light microscope after hematoxylin and eosin staining of tissue. Results Portal vein diameter and Young's modulus were useful predictors of the severity of liver fibrosis,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Young's modulus was most effective with an R2 value 0.788. Young's modulus combined with the distal diameter of portal vein effectively improved the predictive ability,showing an R2 value 0.821. Conclusion Young's modulus is the most predictive index to assess the severity of liver fibrosis. A combination of multiple indices can improve the ability to predict the severity of liver fibrosis.

Objective To understand the loneliness of elderly people,and to analyze the correlation between frailty,family social support and loneliness.Methods The elderly people aged 75 and over from 10 community health service centers in Tangshan were selected and evaluated with the CFAI comprehensive e-valuation tool and the loneliness scale.Results The frailty rate was 100% in 3 448 elderly people.The score of the frailty of elderly was(47.27±0.77),and the degree of frailty was increased with the increase of age. The social support level of general and below accounted for 95.92%.The total average score of social support for the elderly was(32.72±6.21);and the medium or above loneliness accounted for 68.94%.The total aver-age score of loneliness in the elderly was(40.24± 10.23).The most needed caregiver was the children and their daughters. Multivariate analysis showed that the degree of education,the degree of frailty,family support (the relationship with children,with the children who do not support the elderly,communicating with chil-dren,taking the views of the elderly,importance of being at home and the visiting frequency of the children), community support(received the services provided by the neighborhood committee,often keep up with rela-tives and friends,the frequency of neighborhood interaction,have received community psychological counse-ling and have received volunteer service)and social support entered the regression equation.The regression coefficient were -0.084,1.167,1.016,1.212,0.914,1.029,1.025,1.264,1.400,0.889,1.053,1.307,1.466, 1.332,-0.405,respectively.Conclusion Frailty,family function and community social support are important factors of loneliness among the elderly.The support system construction should be strengthened to reduce the loneliness of the elderly,and improve the quality of life.

Objective:To explore the effect of variable priority cognitive-motor dual-task training in aged cognitive frailty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:From September 2022 to September 2023, a total of 108 aged cognitive frailty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected in the Department of Endocrinology of North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital as research subjects.The subjects were divided into three groups in the order of admission, with 36 people in each group.Three groups of patients were intervened for 8 weeks using variable priority cognitive-motor dual-task training (VP group), exercise combined cognitive intervention with sequential task (ST group), and endocrinology routine treatment and nursing (control group), respectively.The scores of mini-mental state examination(MMSE), frailty phenotype(FP) and Berg balance scale(BBS) were compared among the three groups before and after the intervention.Repeated measurement variance analysis was used to compare scale results by SPSS 22.0.Results:(1)The MMSE score of patients before and after intervention had significant interaction effect between time and groups ( F=69.929, P<0.05).The MMSE scores of the VP group and ST group after 8 weeks of intervention were higher than those before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention, and the MMSE scores of the two groups after 4 weeks of intervention were also higher than those before intervention (all P<0.05).After 4 weeks and 8 weeks of intervention, the MMSE score of the VP group was higher than that of the ST group and the control group, and the MMSE score of the ST group was higher than that of the control group after 8 weeks of intervention(all P<0.05).(2)The FP score of patients before and after intervention had a significant interaction effect between time and groups ( F=46.425, P<0.05).The FP score of the VP group at 8 weeks of intervention (2.64±0.59) was lower than that after 4 weeks of intervention (3.28±0.51) and before intervention (3.56±0.61), and the FP score after 4 weeks of intervention was lower than before intervention (all P<0.05).The FP score of the ST group after 8 weeks of intervention (3.44±0.56) was lower than before the intervention (3.59±0.56) ( P<0.05); After 4 weeks of intervention, the FP score of the VP group was lower than that of the control group (3.36±0.54) ( P<0.05).After 8 weeks of intervention, the FP score of the VP group was lower than that of the ST group and the control group (3.39±0.55) (both P<0.05).(3)The FP score of patients before and after intervention had a significant interaction effect between time and groups ( F=135.791, P<0.05).The BBS scores of the VP group and ST group after 8 weeks of intervention were higher than those before and after 4 weeks of intervention, and the BBS scores after 4 weeks of intervention were also higher than those before intervention (all P<0.05).After 4 weeks of intervention, the BBS score of the VP group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05).After 8 weeks of intervention, the BBS score of the VP group was higher than that of the ST group and the control group, and the BBS score of the ST group was also higher than that of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The variable priority cognitive-motor dual-task training can improve the cognitive function, physical frailty and balance function in aged cognitive frailty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the intervention effect is better than that of exercise combined cognitive intervention with sequential task and endocrinology routine treatment and nursing.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miRNA-21 in serum of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and its significance.Methods:The data of 55 MM patients and 20 healthy controls in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from July 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the MM patients, 20 cases were diagnosed without treatment, 15 cases were in complete remission (CR), and 20 cases were clinically relapsed. Blood samples were collected from all subjects, and the relative expression levels of miRNA-21 were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the correlation of miRNA-21 expression with β 2-macroglobulin (β 2-MG), creatinine, hemoglobin, albumin, t(4;14) mutation, 13q14 mutation and prognosis were analyzed. The MM cell line LP-1 was selected, and normal bone marrow CD138-positive plasma cells were sorted by immunomagnetic beads as control cells. The relative expression levels of miRNA-21 in the two groups of cells were detected by qRT-PCR. Results:The serum relative expression level of miRNA-21 in MM group was higher than that in healthy control group (1.50±0.10 vs. 1.03±0.06, t = 7.04, P = 0.002). The serum expressions of miRNA-21 in newly diagnosed untreated MM patients and relapsed/refractory MM patients were high (1.50±0.10 and 3.13±0.32), and compared with the healthy control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 7.04 and 10.22, both P < 0.05). The relative expression level of miRNA-21 in MM patients with complete remission (CR) was 1.27±0.25, which had no significant difference compared with the healthy control group ( t = 1.76, P = 0.152). The serum expression level of miRNA-21 in MM patients with high β 2-MG, high creatinine, low hemoglobin, low albumin, t(4;14) mutation, 13q14 mutation, non-remission and recurrence was significantly increased (all P < 0.05). The relative expression level of miRNA-21 in LP-1 cell line was higher than that in control cells (1.56±0.05 vs. 1.00±0.06), and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 11.73, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The miRNA-21 may be a molecular marker to assist in the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of MM.
