Objective: o explore the problems encountered in the application of GBZ/T 237-2011 edition of "Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Caused by Occupational Stimulating Chemicals" , and to provide reference for the revision of the new standard. Methods: Delphi expert survey method was used to consult experts on the reasonableness of six primary indicators (scope of application, diagnostic principles, diagnostic indicators, treatment principles, diagnostic grading, appendix A) and their corresponding secondary indicators in the Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) caused by Occupational Stimulant Chemicals. Results: The results of the first round of Delphi method showed that the reasonable mean of the diagnostic criteria about long-term occupational history, smoking history and clinical diagnostic criteria was less than 7, and the coefficient of variation was greater than 0.25, indicating that the experts disagreed with the scope of application of the original criteria; the average of smoking history and 3-year working age were 1.78 and 3.43 (less than 7) respectively, which indicated that the experts agreed that the two diagnostic indexes were not conducive to the practical work of occupational disease clinicians; among the diagnostic indicators, smoking history and smoking volume were taken into account in a comprehensive way, and the average values were 7.61 and 7.61 (greater than 7) , respectively. the coefficient of variation was less than 0.25, indicating that the experts had concentrated their opinions and agreed that such indicators could be considered into the diagnostic index system. Conclusion "Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Caused by Occupational Stimulating Chemicals" should be improved by expanding the scope of occupational irritant gases. Smoking problems can be considered in combination with clinical practice, and occupational exposure history can be considered to reduce appropriately.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of Masquelet membrane induction technique combined with antibiotic coated intramedullary nail fixation in the treatment of lower limb large segment infected bone defects.Methods From June 2009 to August 2015,53 patients who have lower limb large segment infected bone defects were analyzed retrospectively,including 40 males and 13 females,aged from 23 to 61 years,with an average age of 36.2±8.4 years.37 cases were secondary to infection after fracture surgery,and 16 cases were caused by open fractures.There were 17 cases of femoral shaft defects and 36 cases of tibia diaphysis defects.All 53 cases were treated with Masquelet technique.The first stage was infection debridement,then bone defect was filled by bone cement mixed with sensitive or broad-spectrum antibiotics,and then temporary fixation was given.When the infection was controlled,debridement was given again and sensitive antibiotic bone cement was replaced to induce membrane,and antibiotic coated intramedullary nail was used for internal fixation.In the second stage,after intramedullary nailing internal fixation for 4-6 weeks,the bone cement occupying device was taken out and the autologous cancellous bone was planted in the induced membrane.Then the membrane was covered and sutured.The cure rate of infection,the time of bone healing and the related complications were observed.Results 53 patients were followed up for 24 to 63 months (with an average of 39±4.7 months).The length of tibia bone defect after debridement was 6-15 cm (average 8.7±4.9 cm).49 patients' infection were cured in 12 months after operation,and the bone defects were healed,with healing time of 5.3-9.7 months (mean 7.4±3.2 months).No refracture occurred.The healing time of tibia was 7.8±2.1 months,while the healing time of the femur was 7.2±3.9 months.1 case of femoral shaft defect had recurrence of infection 4 months after membrane induced bone grafting,and the first stage treatment was restarted which were debridement and implantation of sensitive antibiotic bone cement occupying device.After 6 weeks,the infection was controlled and the second stages continued.3 cases' s (2 cases of femoral shaft,1 case of tibial shaft) autologous cancellous bone were absorbed 3 to 6 months after operation,and no bone density increased in the bone defect area.The autologous cancellous bone was reimplanted and the bone defect was cured in 8 months.Conclusion Masquelet technology combined with antibiotic coated intramedullary nailing can effectively control infection and create a good biological and mechanical environment for bone defect repair.It has good clinical efficacy.

Purpose To evaluate the image quality improvement of deep learning iterative reconstruction(DLIR)on pediatric head CT images of head injury and to evaluate the performance of DLIR and conventional adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-veo(ASIR-V)of noise and image texture of CT image in children's head trauma.Materials and Methods A total of 80 cases in Beijing Children's Hospital,Capital Medical University from December 7th to 11th 2020 of children's head low-dose CT were retrospectively selected.Scan voltage was 120 kV.Scan current was 150-220 mA.The raw data were reconstructed into 5 mm thick slice and 0.625 mm thin slice brain window and bone window images.50%ASIR-V and high weight DLIR images(DL-H)were reconstructed,respectively.A 4-point system was used to subjectively evaluate the display of sulcus,brain matter and bone.The number of lesions in each group was counted.The CT value and image noise values of gray matter and white matter were measured,and the contrast to noise ratio was calculated,then measured the blur metric index was measured in the same slice.The differences between the two image reconstruction methods were compared.Results Compared to 50%ASIR-V images,DL-H significantly improved the display ability of the sulcus and ventricles,as well as the display ability of the brain parenchyma(W=5.5-22.2,all P<0.05)in both slice thickness.There was no statistically significant difference in the display ability of the sulcus and ventricles between 5 mm 50%ASIR-V and 0.625 mm DL-H images(W=0.9,2.0,P=0.32,0.05,respectively).In terms of bone display ability,all images could achieve a maximum score of 4.0.A total of 35 lesions were found in 80 patients via 5 mm 50%ASIR-V and DL-H images,including 12 hemorrhagic lesions,1 intracranial gas,9 fractures,and 13 soft tissue swelling.In terms of objective evaluation,the noise level of DL-H images was significantly lower than that of 50%ASIR-V images(t=21.4-35.7,all P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in noise and contrast noise ratio between 5 mm 50%ASIR-V and 0.625 mm DL-H images(t=1.7-2.2,all P≥0.05).The blur metric index showed that DL-H was superior to 50%ASIR-V images(t=6.1,10.0,both P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in blur metric index between 0.625 mm DL-H and 5 mm 50%ASIR-V images(t=2.6,P=0.28).Conclusion DLIR can improve the CT image quality and image texture of children's head trauma,0.625 mm DL-H image quality is close to 5 mm 50%ASIR-V image,which can meet the diagnostic requirements,and possible to further reduce the radiation dose.

Background/Aims: Roxadustat, an oral medication for treating renal anemia, is a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor used for regulating iron metabolism and promoting erythropoiesis. To investigate the efficacy and safety of roxadustat in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) with erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness. Methods: Single-center, retrospective study, 81 PD patients (with erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness) were divided into the roxadustat group (n = 61) and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) group (n = 20). Hemoglobin (Hb), total cholesterol, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), related indicators of cardiac function and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were collected. Additionally, adverse events were also recorded. The follow-up period was 16 weeks. Results: The two groups exhibited similar baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. At baseline, the roxadustat group had a mean Hb level of 89.8 ± 18.9 g/L, while the ESAs group had a mean Hb level of 95.2 ± 16.0 g/L. By week 16, the Hb levels had increased to 118 ± 19.8 g/L (p < 0.05) in the roxadustat group and 101 ± 19.3 g/L (p > 0.05) in the ESAs group. The efficacy of roxadustat in improving anemia was not influenced by baseline levels of hs-CRP and iPTH. Cholesterol was decreased in the roxadustat group without statin use. An increase in left ventricular ejection fraction and stabilization of BNP were observed in the roxadustat group. Conclusions For PD patients with erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness, roxadustat can significantly improve renal anemia. The efficacy of roxadustat in improving renal anemia was not affected by baseline levels of hs-CRP0 and iPTH.

As one of the main forms of the medical alliance, the specialty alliance functions as a service carrier for hierarchical medical service and resources integration in the region. The authors introduced the exploration and practice of the West China Women′s and Children′s Alliance, the first pediatric specialty alliance in Sichuan, established by the West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University. Based on family doctor contracted services, the West China Women′s and Children′s Alliance took such measures as differentiated functional positioning, assessment of certified physicians, continuous online quality control, construction of referral platforms, and innovative payment mechanisms. Such efforts effectively integrated the three stages of pre-hospital " preventive care" , in-hospital " disease diagnosis and treatment" , and post-hospital " follow-up management" , exploring the homogenization of medical services within the alliance, and forming a pediatric closed-loop health management system, hence improving the primary medical services.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value and related factors of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) in patients with heart failure.Methods:A total of 877 consecutive patients who were admitted to heart failure care unit of Fuwai hospital and diagnosed as heart failure from July 2015 to July 2017 were enrolled in this study. Baseline serum H-FABP concentration was measured by fluorescence lateral flow immunoassay. According to serum H-FABP levels, patients were divided into three groups: low H-FABP group (H-FABP≤4.04 ng/ml, n=292), middle H-FABP group (H-FABP 4.04-7.02 ng/ml, n=292) and high H-FABP group (H-FABP≥7.02 ng/ml, n=293). The general clinical characteristics were collected and compared among the three groups. According to whether heart failure was caused by coronary artery disease or not, patients with heart failure were divided into ischemic heart failure and non-ischemic heart failure. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to explore the independent risk factors of H-FABP. The primary endpoint events were the composite of all-cause death or heart transplantation. Multivariate Cox regression analyses, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, risk prediction tests with multivariate Cox regression model and Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between H-FABP and the prognosis of heart failure. Results:Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, coronary artery disease, alanine aminotransferase, uric acid and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were positively associated with H-FABP (β=0.012, 0.238, 0.001, 0.345 and 0.063 respectively,all P<0.05), while female, hemoglobin, albumin, sodium, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were negatively associated with H-FABP (β=-0.184, -0.006, -0.016, -0.034 and -0.006 respectively, all P<0.05). One hundred and nineteen patients (13.6%) lost to follow-up, and 246 patients (32.5%) suffered from all-cause death or heart transplantation during the median follow-up duration of 931 (412-1 185) days. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that baseline H-FABP (log 2H-FABP) level was the independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure ( HR=1.39, P<0.001). ROC curves showed that baseline H-FABP was a predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure within 3 months, 1 year and 2 years (areas under the curves were 0.69, 0.69 and 0.71 respectively), and the best cut-off values were 5.85 ng/ml, 6.54 ng/ml and 6.54 ng/ml respectively. Risk prediction test with multivariate Cox regression model showed that baseline H-FABP could provide additional prognostic value in predicting all-cause death or heart transplantation for patients with heart failure on top of basic model and baseline NT-proBNP ( P<0.001). Taking 6.54 ng/ml and trisected levels of H-FABP as cut-off values respectively, Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the survival rates were significantly different among the two or three groups ( P<0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that baseline H-FABP (log 2H-FABP) level was an independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with ischemic heart failure ( HR=1.74, P<0.001), as well as in patients with non-ischemic heart failure ( HR=1.28, P=0.027). Conclusions:Age, sex, coronary artery disease, hemoglobin, albumin, alanine aminotransferase, sodium, eGFR, uric acid and NT-proBNP are associated with H-FABP level. Baseline H-FABP level is an independent predictor of all-cause death or heart transplantation in patients with heart failure. On top of basic model and baseline NT-proBNP, baseline H-FABP could provide additional prognostic value in predicting adverse events for patients with heart failure.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease caused by inflammatory cells. Various inflammatory cells involved in RA include fibroblast-like synoviocytes, macrophages, CD4⁺T-lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, osteoclasts and chondrocytes. The close interaction between various inflammatory cells leads to imbalance of immune response and disorder of the expression of mRNA in inflammatory cells. It helps to drive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and stimulate specific antigen-specific T- and B-lymphocytes to produce autoantibodies which is an important pathogenic factor for RA. Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) can regulate the expression of mRNA by competitively binding to miRNA. The related ceRNA network is a new regulatory mechanism for RNA interaction. It has been found to be involved in the regulation of abnormal biological processes such as proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and release of inflammatory factors of RA inflammatory cells. Understanding the ceRNA network in 6 kinds of RA common inflammatory cells provides a new idea for further elucidating the pathogenesis of RA, and provides a theoretical basis for the discovery of new biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets.
