Objective To assess the correlation between tenosynovitis or rupture of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and pes planus in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The data of 47 RA patients (97 feet) with painful feet was retrospectively analyzed which was collected From February 2008 to June 2011.In accordance with the results of the FHL changes got by ultrasonography,the patients were divided into 3 groups.Group A consisted of those with normal FHL (27 feet).Group B consisted of those with FHL tenosynovitis (40 feet),and Group C eonsisted of those with FHL rupture (27 feet).Load bearing lateral radiographs were taken for all the patients.The correlation study was carried out based on the pes planus-related parameters,such as the measurement of heel pitch angle (HPA) and tarsal and 1st metatarsal angle (TM1).Factors like patients' age and course of disease were also taken into the consideration during the study.Results The mean age of those in group A was 49.9±9.2 years vs.56.2±9.2 years in group B and 54.7±8.0 years in group C.The mean duration was 4.7±2.6 years in Group A vs.16.2±7.4 years in Group B 5°±3.6° in Group C.The mean TM1 was 2.5°±2.2° in Group A vs.6.5°±3.2° in Group B and 11.2°±4.9° in Group C.Significant statistics difference were found among the three groups in these parameters.HPA＜ 20° was found among 6/27 feet in group A,31/40 in group B and 27/27 in group C.TM1 ＞4° was found among 5/27 feet in group A,30/40 in group B and 27/27 in group C.Conclusion FHL changes were common in RA patients and its severitv had positive correlation to pes planus.These changes were affected by age and duration,and could be evaluated effectively by ultrasound.

Objective To assess the toxicity risks of diphenylchlorarsine (DA) to environments, human beings and livestock. Methods Totally 120 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups and given DA by gastric gavage at the doses of 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22 mg/kg respectively for LD_(50) of DA in mice. The toxicity of DA in rat skin were evaluated by smearing 50 ?l DA at the concentrations of 140, 70, 35, 17.5, and 8.8 mg/ml to an area of 4 cm2, and that of eyes exposure was carried out by dropping 10 ?l DA of 140.7, 70, 7, 0.7 mg/ml in rat eyes. The counterpart skin area and eyes served as control. Results LD_(50) of DA in mice was 28.07 mg/kg, the estimated doses for no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOELs) were 8.8 mg/ml (0.44 mg) to the skin and 0.7 mg/ml (0.014 mg) to the eyes respectively. Conclusion DA can induce the injuries on the liver, kidneys, esophagus and stomach. High concentration of DA can cause inflammation of the skin and lens opacification, even blind.

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of Ginkgo biloba capsule combined with isosorbide mononitrate in the treatment of angina pectoris of coronary heart disease. Methods: From April 22, 2017 to April 22, 2018, 100 patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris admitted to Zhoushan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were enrolled in the study.Fifty patients in the control group were treated with isosorbide mononitrate.Fifty patients in the observation group were treated with Ginkgo biloba capsules and isosorbide mononitrate.The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), duration of angina pectoris, frequency of angina attacks, total effective rate, incidence of adverse reactions, angina relief time were observed. Results: The LVEDD, LVESD, LVEF, total effective rate, incidence rate of adverse reaction, duration of angina pectoris, angina pectoris frequency and angina pectoris remission time in the observation group were (48.41±2.23)mm, (30.89±1.12)mm, (56.55±5.87)%, 96.00%, 4.00%, (3.44±1.52)min/time, (1.36±0.54)times/week, (3.12±0.56)min, respectively, which were better than those in the control group [LVEDD (64.78±2.89)mm, LVESD (42.21±1.55)mm, LVEF (43.46±1.52)%, total effective rate (74.00%), incidence rate of adverse reactions (28.00%), duration of angina pectoris (5.68±1.66)min/time, frequency of angina pectoris (2.68±1.47)times/week, angina relief time (4.87±1.41)min] (t=19.546, 41.857, 15.264, χ²=9.490, 10.714, t=7.037, 5.960, 8.156, all P<0.05). Conclusion Ginkgo biloba capsule combined with isosorbide mononitrate is effective in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris.

Objective:To explore any effect of kinesio taping on the head and neck mobility of children with congenital muscular torticollis.Methods:A total of 52 children with congenital muscular torticollis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, each of 26. All were given 20 minutes of routine rehabilitation training daily, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The treatment group was additionally taped up with kinesio tape for no more than 48 hours once every 3 days for 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment the angles of head tilt and neck lateral flexion and the gaps in left and right neck rotation were measured for both groups.Results:Significant improvement was observed in both groups but there was significantly more improvement among the treatment group. The treatment had a cure rate (46.15%) and an improvement rate (50.00%) significantly superior to those of the control group and a significantly lower rate of ineffectiveness.Conclusion:Kinesio taping along with routine rehabilitation training can better improve the head and neck mobility of children with congenital muscular torticollis.

OBJECTIVE To exc avate the adverse drug event （ADE）signals of semaglutide and provide reference for its clinical rational use. METHODS The proportional unbalance method was used to mine the signals of all semaglutide ADE reports from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS）up to September 2021. The basic situations of the reported cases were analyzed. The corresponding system organ classification （SOC）was mapped and compared with the adverse drug reactions recorded in the drug instructions. Preferred terms （PT）of patients with different indications were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 6 661 semaglutide ADE reports were extracted and 194 valid signals were mined. Among 6 661 cases of ADE ，the proportion of men （43.40％）was lower than women （52.65％）；the age was mainly distributed in ＞40-65 years old （29.00％）and ＞65 years old （22.61％）；the reporting country was mainly the United States （83.88％）；the report year was mainly concentrated in 2021 （40.88％），with an increasing trend year by year ；the main outcome was hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization in serious ADE reports （17.78％）. Semaglutide ADE signal was mapped to the main SOC ，mainly including gastrointestinal diseases ，various injuries，poisoning and operation complications ，metabolic and nutritional diseases ，various examinations. The screening criteria were based on the report odds ratio ＞10 or ADE reported cases ＞50，and 48 new potential adverse drug reactions were added to the drug description. Among the indications with the top two reported cases （type 2 diabetes and obesity ，overweight，weight control），the frequency of gastrointestinal system related ADE reports represented by nausea ，vomiting and diarrhea was higher ， which was similar to the drug instructions. CONCLUSIONS This study supplemented 48 new potential adverse drug reactions based on the drug instructions of semaglutide. At present ，it can be considered that semaglutide is safe.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of the biopsy strategy combining 6-core systematic and 3-core MRI-targeted biopsy on prostate cancer (PCa) detection in biopsy-na?ve patients.Methods:The clinical data of 121 biopsy-na?ve patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2018 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age was (64.7±9.1) years old. Pre-biopsy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was (12.4±7.5)ng/ml, f/t PSA was 0.13±0.05. Prostate volume was (43.1±26.1) ml and PASD was (0.35±0.27) ng/ml 2. The prostate-imaging and data system (PI-RADS) score of MRI before biopsy was reported to be 3 for 29 patients (24.0%), 4 for 54 patients (44.6%) and 5 for 38 patients (31.8%). All 121 patients underwent 12-core systematic biopsy combined with a 3-core or 5-core MRI-targeted biopsy, of which 61 patients underwent 3-core targeted biopsy and 60 underwent 5-core targeted biopsy. There was no significant difference in the pre-biopsy clinical data between the two groups ( P>0.05). A 6-core systematic biopsy was redefined as the results of 6 cores among the 12-core systematic biopsy. We compared the detection rates among the single 12-core systematic biopsy, 6-core systematic biopsy, MRI-targeted biopsy (3-core or 5-core), and different systematic biopsy combing with targeted biopsy for any PCa and clinically significant PCa, and we also analyzed the cumulative cancer detection rates for MRI-targeted biopsy of different cores. Results:Of the 121 patients in this study, the biopsy results were negative for 43 patients (35.5%) and positive for 78 (64.5%). The detection rate of clinically significant PCa was 55.4% (67/121). The detection rate of the 6-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy was 62.0% (75/121) for PCa and 55.4% (67/121) for clinically significant PCa, which was of no difference compared with that for the 12-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy ( P>0.05), but the 6-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy avoided the overdiagnosis of 3 patients with Gleason score 3+ 3. The detection rate of PCa for MRI-targeted biopsy was 57.9% (70/121), including 42.1% (51/121) for the first core, 55.4% (67/121) for the first two cores, and 57.9% (70/121) for the first three cores. Compared with the single-core targeted biopsy for suspicious lesions, the first 2-core targeted biopsy ( OR=1.7, 95% CI 1.0-2.8) and 3-core targeted biopsy ( OR=1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.1) can significantly increase the detection rate of PCa, while the fourth or fifth core of targeted biopsy can not increase the detection rate additionally (60%, 36/60). Conclusion:For patients with suspected PCa, the prostate biopsy strategy combing 6-core systematic and 3-core MRI-targeted biopsy performs no inferior than the current 12-core systematic biopsy combined with MRI-targeted biopsy.

Breathing pattern parameters refer to the characteristic pattern parameters of respiratory movements, including the breathing amplitude and cycle, chest and abdomen contribution, coordination, etc. It is of great importance to analyze the breathing pattern parameters quantificationally when exploring the pathophysiological variations of breathing and providing instructions on pulmonary rehabilitation training. Our study provided detailed method to quantify breathing pattern parameters including respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time, inspiratory time proportion, tidal volume, chest respiratory contribution ratio, thoracoabdominal phase difference and peak inspiratory flow. We also brought in "respiratory signal quality index" to deal with the quality evaluation and quantification analysis of long-term thoracic-abdominal respiratory movement signal recorded, and proposed the way of analyzing the variance of breathing pattern parameters. On this basis, we collected chest and abdomen respiratory movement signals in 23 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and 22 normal pulmonary function subjects under spontaneous state in a 15 minute-interval using portable cardio-pulmonary monitoring system. We then quantified subjects' breathing pattern parameters and variability. The results showed great difference between the COPD patients and the controls in terms of respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time, thoracoabdominal phase difference and peak inspiratory flow. COPD patients also showed greater variance of breathing pattern parameters than the controls, and unsynchronized thoracic-abdominal movements were even observed among several patients. Therefore, the quantification and analyzing method of breathing pattern parameters based on the portable cardiopulmonary parameters monitoring system might assist the diagnosis and assessment of respiratory system diseases and hopefully provide new parameters and indexes for monitoring the physical status of patients with cardiopulmonary disease.
