Objective To investigate neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in early-stage diabetic nephropathy and its clinic significance. Methods The 145 subjects were divided into two groups:the healthy control group (n=54) and early stage diabetic nephropathy group (n=91). The numbers of neutrophils (N) and lymphocytes (L) as well as the NLR values of peripheral blood and other biochemistry index were examined. Factors of early stage diabetic nephropathy were calculated us?ing variance and logistic regression analysis. Results Creatinine(Cr), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), LDL-C, neu?trophils number and CRP in DN group were significantly higher than those of the control group and lymphocytes numbers of DN group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05 respectively);NLR values were significantly higher in diabetic nephropathy group compared with those of healthy control group(2.52±0.57 vs 1.82±0.60,t=6.997, P<0.01). Lo?gistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of DN include NLR, TG and total cholesterol. NLR ( P <0.001, OR=8.951, OR 95%CI:3.595-22.287) was significantly associated with DN. Conclusion High NLR values may be a predic?tive and reliable marker ofearly-stage DN.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of early combination treatment with intratympanic glucocorticoid injection for sudden sensorineural hearing loss(SSNHL).METHODSTotal of 178 patients with diagnosis of SSNHL, including 44 with hearing loss at middle-low frequencies,50 at high frequencies,44 at all frequencies and 40 at total deafness, were randomly divided into combination treatment group (CT group) and systemic oral prednisone group (OP group).CT group (82 patients) received intratympanic administration of methylprednisolone and oral prednisone in tapering doses. Pure-tone threshold audiometry (PTA) was performed at week 8 after beginning of therapy. RESULTSIn middle-low frequencies, the final PTA and PTA improvement were 26.14±24.82 dB and 42.23±1.61 dB in CT group respectively, and were 37.91±13.98 dB and 30.00±13.30 dB in OP group respectively (both P<0.05). In high frequencies, all frequencies and total deafness SSNHL group, the differences of the final PTA and PTA improvement were not statistically significant in both groups. The PTA improvement in CT group for total deafness (26.52±14.03) dB was more than that of OP group (22.06±11.17)dB (t=2.361,P<0.05). In middle-low frequencies, the recovery rate was 72.73%(16 cases) in CT group, and 40.91% (9 cases) in OP group, the difference was significant (χ2=4.539,P<0.05), but not in apparent effective rate, effective rate and total effective rate. In high frequencies, all frequencies and total deafness, there were no significant differences in therapeutic effect. The recovery rate of total CT group (40.24%) was significantly increased compared with that of OP group (26.04%)(χ2=4.061,P<0.05), the differences of apparent effective rate, effective rate and total effective rate were not statistically significant in both groups.CONCLUSIONFor low-middle frequencies SSNHL, the early combination treatment with intratympanic glucocorticoid injection leads to higher hearing recovery and therapeutic effect compared with traditional oral prednisone. Systemic application should be applied for high frequencies, all frequencies and total deafness of SSNHL.

Objective:
To understand the status and relationship between bullying behaviors and subjective well-being among left-behind students in Bijie,and to provide reference for the governments to support the development of policies and intervention.
Methods:
A total of 735 left-behind students were investigated on the spot with the Olweus Bully Questionnaire and Adolescent Subjective Well-being Scale.
Results:
Among the 735 left-behind students, 28.71% were found of participating in behaviors of bullying. More boys involved behaviors of bullying (bullies,victims and bully-victims) others than the girls(χ2=25.93, P<0.05), Bullying was more likely to be reported among children with poor peer relations(χ2=12.46, P<0.05). Total scores of the feelings of friendship,family,freedom,negative emotion and life differed significantly among different bullying roles(F=12.76, 2.86, 3.30, 5.98, 4.72, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that there were many factors affecting the subjective well-being of these students, such as bullying behaviors, relationship with their classmates, academic record, the frequency which they contacted with parents(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Bullying is highly prevalent among left-behind children in Bijie. Effective prevention and control mechanisms should be established at the social, school and family levels to reduce the occurrence of bullying. Attention should be paid to the psychological and behavioral dynamics of left-behind middle school students, so as to improve their happiness.

Purpose:
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy that occurs primarily in children and adolescents. The clinical and pathological features of IMT in adult patients are not well understood.
Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively searched for records of adult patients with IMT at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from 2006 to 2021. Clinicopathological data, treatments, and outcomes were collected and analyzed.
Results:
Thirty adult patients with IMT, mostly women (60.0%), were included. The median age of the patients was 38 (21-77). The most common primary site was abdominopelvic region (53.3%), followed by lungs (20.0%). Seven patients had an abdominal epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblast sarcoma (EIMS). The positivity rate of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) was 81.5% (22/27). Sixteen patients with advanced ALK-positive disease received crizotinib, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 81.3% and a disease control rate of 87.5%. The median progression-free survival was 20.8 months. EIMS was associated with more aggressive behavior; however, the prognosis was similar to that of non-EIMS patients after treatment with an ALK inhibitor. At a median follow-up time of 30 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.6 to 46.4), the 5-year overall survival was 77% (95% CI, 66 to 88) in all patients.
Conclusion
Adult IMTs appeared more aggressive, with a higher incidence of recurrence and metastases, and patients with EIMS had more aggressive cases. Treatment with ALK inhibitors resulted in a high ORR and a durable response, which suggested that ALK inhibitors could be used as a first-line treatment option in adult patients with ALK-positive advanced IMT.
7.An investigation of bacillary dysentery outbreaks in three schools in Ankang
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(6):922-924
Objective:
To investigate risk factors and epidemiological characteristics of bacillary dysentery outbreaks in three schools, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of the epidemic in the future.
Methods:
Case definition was established. All suspected, possible and confirmed cases of all students and faculty members from 3 schools (A, B, C) were selected for epidemiological investigation. Control group was used for case-control analysis, and relevant samples were collected for laboratory testing.
Results:
A total of 132 cases were found in 3 schools, all of which were from students, with the incidence rate of 17.74%. The morbidity in kindergarten A was 20.00%, in center primary school B it was 21.74%, and in junior middle school C it was 11.61%. Cohort studies and casecontrol studies suggested that schools are exposed places and that washing hands with raw water in schools was possible risk factor [OR(95%CI) =4.50(1.01-20.11)]. Nine stool samples were tested in laboratory, among which 8 were positive for Shigella(88.99%), and Shigella was detected in the end nodes of school s pipeline network, the water samples from canteen bucket, and the floor drains of sewer pipe.
Conclusion
The bacillary dysentery outbreaks in 3 schools was caused by Shigella, which may be due to fecal contamination of domestic water in 3 schools before the start of the school year. It is suggested to strengthen the management of centralized water supply and construction in rural areas, intensify the supervision at all levels, and sanitation and disinfection before school opens at all levels.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) in treating hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Methods Clinical data of 2 patients with hepatic alveolar echinococcosis undergoing ALPPS in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between June 2015 and January 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The informed consents of both patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. Case 1 was male, 47 years old. Case 2 was female, 24 years old. Both were diagnosed as hepatic echinococcosis. For case 1, ligation of the right portal vein and division of the left medial lobe and left lateral lobe were performed in the first stage, and resection of 3 right lobes was performed in the second stage. For case 2, right hemihepatectomy and division of the left medial lobe and left lateral lobe were performed in the first stage, and hepatic left lateral lobectomy was performed in the second stage. Results For case 1 in the first stage, the operation duration was 540 min, blood loss was 2 000 ml, intraoperative RBC infusion was 8 U, and plasma infusion was 800 ml; in the second stage, the operation duration was 660 min, blood loss was 4 500 ml, RBC infusion was 32 U, and plasma infusion was 2 000 ml. Case 1 recovered well after the first stage operation, but suffered from bile leakage after the second stage operation, then received percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and recovered afterward. For case 2 in the first stage, the operation duration was 405 min, blood loss was 2 000 ml, intraoperative RBC infusion was 10 U, and plasma infusion was 2 000 ml;in the second stage, the operation duration was 190 min, blood loss was 1 000 ml, RBC infusion was 4 U, and plasma infusion was 800 ml. The patient recovered well after operation. Both 2 patients were followed up for 24 months after operation and lived in a good condition, no complication or recurrence of hydatid disease was observed. Conclusion ALPPS has provided a new option for the operative treatment of complex hepatic alveolar echinococcosis with insufficient remnant liver volume.

Wolfiporia cocos (F. A. Wolf) has been praised as a food delicacy and medicine for cen-turies in China. Here, we present the genome and transcriptome of the Chinese strain CGMCC5.78 of W. cocos. High-confidence functional prediction was made for 9277 genes among the 10,908 total predicted gene models in the W. cocos genome. Up to 2838 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified to be related to sclerotial development by comparing the transcriptomes of mycelial and sclerotial tissues. These DEGs are involved in mating processes, differentiation of fruiting body tissues, and metabolic pathways. A number of genes encoding enzymes and regulatory factors related to polysaccharide and triterpenoid production were strikingly regulated. A potential triter-penoid gene cluster including the signature lanosterol synthase (LSS) gene and its modified compo-nents were annotated. In addition, five nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS)-like gene clusters, eight polyketide synthase (PKS) gene clusters, and 15 terpene gene clusters were discovered in the genome. The differential expression of the velevt family proteins, transcription factors,carbohydrate-active enzymes, and signaling components indicated their essential roles in the regu-lation of fungal development and secondary metabolism in W. cocos. These genomic and transcrip-tomic resources will be valuable for further investigations of the molecular mechanisms controlling sclerotial formation and for its improved medicinal applications.

Periodontal disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease in China. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease are of great significance for achieving universal oral health and even systemic health. Artificial intelligence endows machines with the ability to mimic human intelligent behavior, and is commonly used in medical field with both physical and virtual forms. Virtual artificial intelligence empowers traditional experience in the application of periodontal disease risk assessment and diagnosis, with the potential to develop a variety of oral health screening tools. It helps to provide new evidence for the prognosis of periodontal disease, improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis, reduce technical sensitivity and further promote the periodontal treatment transformation from "treatment-oriented" to "prevention-oriented". This paper reviews the current applications and progresses of virtual artificial intelligence in periodontal risk assessment and diagnosis, as well as its limitations, providing ideas for future researches on the application of virtual artificial intelligence in this field.
