ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of entecavir combined with antituberculosis therapy in patients with tuberculosis complicated by chronic HBV infection. MethodsA total of 108 patients with tuberculosis complicated by chronic HBV infection were divided into entecavir group with 58 patients and control group with 50 patients. The patients in the entecavir group were given entecavir from 1 month before antituberculosis therapy to the end of antituberculosis therapy, and those in the control group were given antitubercular agent alone. The incidence of liver injury and clinical symptoms, time to appearance of abnormal liver function, and time to liver function recovery were compared between the two groups. The two-independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsCompared with the control group, the entecavir group had significantly higher incidence rates of abnormal liver function (29.31% vs 64.00%, χ2=8.475, P<0.05) and clinical symptoms of liver injury (17.24% vs 28.00%, χ2=5.534, P<0.05). There were significant differences in the time to appearance of abnormal liver function (25.1±10.2 d vs 20.1±8.9 d, t=2.675, P<0.05) and time to liver function recovery (26.5±9.8 d vs 32.6±11.2 d, t=3.778, P<0.05). ConclusionEntecavir can significantly reduce the incidence of liver injury caused by antituberculosis therapy, postpone the time to appearance of liver injury, and accelerate liver function recovery in patients with tuberculosis complicated by chronic HBV infection.

Objective To evaluate accuracy,safety and clinical practicality of three measurements for the length of biliary stent.Methods A total of 120 patients with indwelling biliary stents were randomly divided into group A,B and C by the admission time,who then received endoscopic guide wire measurement (Group A),cutting knife measurement (Group B) and formula measurement (Group C) for biliary stent length.Results There were no statistical significance in sex,age,type of primary disease and biliary stent materials (P>0.05).Operation time in group C (9.4 ± 2.47 min) was shorter than that in group A (15.8±1.71 min) and B (16.2 ± 2.22 min) with significant difference (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative cholangitis [7.5% (3/40) VS 5.0% (2/40) VS 5.0% (2/40)]or the measurement accuracy of biliary stent length [100.0% (40/40) VS 95.0% (38/40) VS 97.5%(39/40)] (P>0.05).Conclusion Three stent length measurements are accurate and safe,but formula measurement has more advantage in clinical practicality.

Objective To investigate the effect of alogliptin on albuminuria in patients with early type 2 diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and the related mechanism.Methods One hundred patients with early DKD admitted in our hospital from May 2016 to May 2017 were randomly divided into two groups with 50 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given metformin and gliclazide,while those in study group were given metformin and alogliptin,the treatment lasted for 24 weeks.The changes of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR),stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG),2-h postprandial plasma glucose (2 hPPG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) were measured before and after the treatment in two groups.Results There were no significant differences in HbA1c [(8.17± 0.46)% vs.(8.29±0.48)%],UACR[(109±53) vs.(105±48)mg/g],SDF-1α [(1.21±0.3 9) vs.(1.17±0.35)μg/L] levels before treatment between two groups (t=0.343,0.464,0.075,all P>0.05).After treatment,the HbA1c levels were significantly decreased in both groups (t=2.293,2.302,all P=0.03) and there was no significant difference between two groups[(6.82±0.75)% vs.(6.93 ±0.79)%,t=0.295,P=0.77];the UACR levels were significantly reduced in both groups,but the level of study group was significantly lower than that of control group [(82±38) vs.(94±47) mg/g,t=3.320,P<0.01];the SDF-1α levels were significantly increased in both groups,but the level of study group was significantly higher than that of control group[(3.01 ±0.38) vs.(2.76±0.42)μg/L,t=5.474,P<0.01].There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups [13% (6/46) vs.12% (6/48),x2=0.002,P>0.05].Conclusion Alogliptin can effectively control the blood glucose,reduce urine albumin excretion and protect renal function in patients with early type 2 diabetic nephropathy,which is associated with the increased SDF-1α levels.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics and trends of injury in older adults in Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2022 and provide a scientific basis for developing prevention and control measures.Methods:The data on injury cases aged 60 and older were collected from 12 sentinel hospitals in Jiangsu Province during 2006-2022. The study analyzed the proportion of injury cases among the elderly in the overall population and calculated the annual percent change and average annual percent change (AAPC). A pairwise comparison between groups was performed, and the differences were judged according to the adjusted standardized residuals.Results:From 2006 to 2022, there were 218 426 injury cases among individuals aged 60 and older in Jiangsu Province, which accounted for an increasing proportion of injury cases within the entire population (AAPC=3.17%, P<0.001). The first five causes of elderly injury were falls (42.06%), road traffic injuries (20.20%), animal injuries (11.45%), knife/sharp injuries (9.43%), and blunt injuries (8.13%). From 2006 to 2022, the proportion of falls, animal injuries, and knife/sharp injuries among the elderly aged ≥60 showed an increasing trend, while the proportion of road traffic injuries and blunt injuries decreased (all P<0.001). The incidence of injury was highest in October, with a daily incidence peak between 8:00 and 10:00. Leisure activities (40.34%) were the major activity leading to injury. The injury occurred mainly at home (53.74%), and the injury intention was mainly unintentional (97.41%), all of which showed an increasing trend ( P<0.001). The injuries were mainly bruises (36.00%), and the most common injured positions of the body were low limbs (27.55%), all of which showed a decreasing trend ( P<0.001). About 69.80% of cases were slight, and 79.38% were discharged after treatment, which showed an increasing trend ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The injury data for individuals aged 60 and older in Jiangsu Province exhibited varying trends from 2006 to 2022. There was a noticeable increase in the proportion of elderly injury cases within the overall injury population, as well as an upward trend in falls, animal injuries, and knife/sharp injuries as leading causes of injury. It is imperative to actively develop prevention measures based on the epidemiological characteristics and evolving trends of elderly injuries in Jiangsu Province.

In order to investigate developmental coordination disorder (DCD) of kindergarten children in Zhejiang province, 200 ordinary kindergartens were randomly selected by stratified random sampling in 11 prefecture-level cities of Zhejiang Province, and 38 900 children from 1 000 classes in each grade were then randomly selected into the study from June 2019 to December 2019. The Little DCD Questionnaire and a self-designed questionnaire were used to screen the DCD of those children. There were 36 807 valid questionnaires, and 6.50% (2 391/36 807) of them were positive results. The results showed that boy, age ≤5 years, overweight or obesity, left handedness, comorbidity with motor or developmental disorders and premature infants were risk factors of DCD in children. As for parents and families, maternal gestational age<20 years, maternal overweight or obesity before pregnancy, low-middle level education of parents, direct family and low income of family were also associated with DCD in children. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct early prevention and intervention strategies targeting on identified risk factors among relevant population.
