Objective To explore the prophylactic effect of methylprednisolone combined with granisetron on postoperative nausea and vomiting.Methods Two hundred patients scheduled for lumpectomy of breast were randomly divided into four groups with 50 cases each.The patients in group M1 received a pre-anesthesia intravenous doses of methylprednisolone 25 mg,the patients in group M2 were injected methylpredsisolone 25 mg repeatedly four hours later,in group D received a pre-anesthesia doses of dexamethasone 5 mg,in group N normal saline 2 ml.All the four groups of patients received granisetron 3 mg intravenously at the end of surgery.The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the 24 hours were observed.Results The PONV incidences of group M1,M2,D,N were 36%,18%,38% and 58%.Both group M1,M2 and D significantly decreased the total inci-dence of PONV (P <0.05)in the 24 h.The incidence of PONV was significantly lower in group M2, compared with group M1 and group D respectively (P <0.05).Conclusion Methylprednisolone-gran-isetron combination is as equally effective as dexamethasone-granisetron combination for preventing PONV in lumpectomy,but repeated methylprednisolone after 4 h is more effective than dexametha-sone and single-used methylprednisolone.

Objective:To investigate the number of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells in renal tissues of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the correlation with clinicopathologic parameters, and explore its role in the progression of the excessive loss of renal tubular cells and chronic kidney injury.Methods:Renal tissue samples from 60 patients (18-65 years old) with CKD proven by kidney biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from June 2017 to June 2019 were collected. According to internationally accepted K/DOQI guidelines, the patients were divided into 1-4 stages of CKD, with 15 cases in each stage. The number of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells in patients with different stages of CKD was detected using receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) fluorescent staining, and the expression of RIP3 and MLKL, marker protein of necroptosis, was detected by immunohistochemistry. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the percentage of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells and clinicopathologic parameters. In addition, the expression of angiotensinogen Ⅱ receptor (AT2R) in renal tissue and its correlation with the percentage of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells were analyzed.Results:With the development of CKD, the structural destruction of renal tubules in patients with CKD was gradually aggravated, and the renal tubules in the corresponding areas were atrophied, accompanied by worsening interstitial fibrosis. The adjacent renal tubules were focally dilated and numerous protein tubules were seen in the tubules. Importantly, renal tubular injury score in second and third stage of CKD was significantly higher than that in control group (both P<0.01). TUNEL+RIP3 immunofluorescence staining results showed that the percentage of TUNEL/RIP3 double positive renal tubular epithelial cells (necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells) in renal tubules of the second and third stage of CKD was higher (all P<0.01). Immunohistochemical results showed that RIP3, MLKL and AT2R proteins were mainly expressed in cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells, and the expression of RIP3, MLKL and AT2R in renal tubular epithelial cells was higher in the second and third stage of CKD patients (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the percentage of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells was positively correlated with blood urea nitrogen ( r=0.514, P=0.003), serum creatinine ( r=0.507, P=0.019), serum cystatin C ( r=0.571, P=0.026), serum uric acid ( r=0.592, P=0.008), renal tubules injury score ( r=0.901, P<0.001), renal interstitial fibrosis index ( r=0.700, P=0.001) and the expression of AT2R protein in renal tissue ( r=0.715, P=0.001). Conclusions:As CKD progresses, necroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in CKD patients occurs. The necroptotic cell death may be an important factor leading to renal tubular epithelial cell excessive death and the progression of chronic kidney injury. Furthermore, necroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells may be related to the high expression of AT2R in kidney tissue.

Objective To investigate the iodine intake level and the prevalence of thyroid nodules in Harbin City,and to study the correlation between the concentration of urinary iodine and the prevalence of thyroid nodules.Methods In Harbin,18 communities were randomly selected and specimens were collected from fasting morning urine from 2015 to 2017.The urine iodine concentration (UIC) was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry,and the thyroid nodule was examined by B ultrasound.Results A total of 2 552 residents aged (45.79 ± 12.06) years old agreed to participate in the study,including 371 males and 2 181 females.The median UIC in all participants was 159.8 μg/L,there was a significant difference in urine iodine frequency distribution among age groups (x2 =40.097,P ＜ 0.01).Furthermore,the median UIC in male was 166.6 μg/L,and in female was 156.2 μg/L.There was a significant difference in UICs between male and female (U =2.122,P ＜ 0.05).The prevalence of total thyroid nodules in all participants was 48.75％ (1 244/2 552),and the standardized rate was 40.55％.Significant difference in the detection rate of thyroid nodules was observed among age groups (x2 =114.922,P ＜ 0.01),and there was a positive and significant correlation between the detection rate of thyroid nodules and increasing age (xtrand =111.746,P ＜ 0.01).Furthermore,in male,41.24％ (153/371) had thyroid nodules,with standardized prevalence rate of 41.13％,and in female,50.02％ (1 091/2 181) had thyroid nodules,with standardized prevalence rate of 49.20％.Likewise,there was a significant difference in the detection rate of thyroid nodules between male and female(x2 =9.790,P ＜ 0.01).The detection rate of thyroid nodules in the iodine deficient population (urinary iodine was 0-＜ 100 μg/L) was 55.58％ (244/439),and the incidence of thyroid nodules in the iodine adequate or optimal population (urinary iodine was 100-＜ 200 μg/L) was 46.68％ (591/1 266).Conclusions The total iodine level of the population in Harbin City of Heilongjiang Province is at adequate level.The detection rate of thyroid nodules is high and it is increased with age.The detection rate of thyroid nodules is higher in female than male.Regular detection of urine iodine and adjusting iodine nutrition will help prevent thyroid nodules.

Objective To explore the effect of cognitive education and behavioral intervention in solid-state high resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) examination. Methods From April 2016 to June 2017, 60 patients with solid-state HRM in the gastrointestinal motility room at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University were as the research object. The 60 patients were divided into control group and experimental group with 30 cases each by the method of random numbers. The conventional methods was used in control group to conduct informed counseling before the examination and the coordination guidance in the examination. The conventional methods and cognitive behavioral intervention was used in experimental group at the same time. The successful rate of intubation, the time used for the examination, discomfort symptoms during intubation, the patient's satisfaction in the whole check process and self-evaluation of intubation pain experience in two groups of patients were compared. Results The time used in the experimental group examination was (28.50±8.75) min, and the control group was (33.13± 5.49) min. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=2.584, P=0.015). In the experimental group, the number of nausea, vomiting, and coughing in the intubation process was 11, 0, and 1, respectively, and the control group was 20, 6, and 7, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.406, 4.630, 5.192, all P<0.05). In the experimental group, the scores of the 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 items of the intubation pain experience self-evaluation in the examination process were (1.00 ± 0.64), (1.37 ± 0.85), (2.80 ± 0.96), (1.50 ± 0.51), (0.87 ± 0.63), (0.77 ± 0.50), (0.60 ± 0.56), (1.07 ± 0.25), (0.57 ± 0.57), (1.50 ± 0.63) points, and the 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13 scores of the control group they were (1.50 ± 0.51), (2.03 ± 0.76), (3.50 ± 0.82), (2.03 ± 0.76), (1.20 ± 0.61), (1.03 ± 0.41), (0.83 ± 0.53), (1.23 ± 0.43), (0.87 ± 0.57), (2.00 ± 1.05) points, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (t=-4.130--2.140, all P<0.05). Conclusions HRM is an important test before the clinical application of a wide range of clinical applications for the detection of esophageal motility disorders and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The degree of patient cooperation with the operation directly affects the high-resolution esophageal manometry test results and self-experience. Medical staff can give patients cognitive education and behavioral intervention before examination, which can effectively reduce the symptoms and pain caused by intubation, improve patient compliance, shorten the time for examinations, improve work efficiency, and improve patient satisfaction. It is worth further promotion and application in clinical examination.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of anterior cage inserting for old thoracolumbar fractures with kyphosis through facet joint approach.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 32 patients with old thoracolumbar fractures complicated with kyphosis admitted from January 2018 to December 2019, including 14 males and 18 females. The average age was 47.3±13.1 years (range, 26-70 years). Thoracolumbar injury classification (TLICS) scores of patients with initial injury were 3-5 points, with an average of 4.0 points. After 6.3±2.9 months (range, 3-16 months) conservative treatment, intractable thorax and lumbar or back pain still existed. Anterior cage inserting via articular protrusion was performed in 15 cases and posterior screw placement and bone grafting fusion of injured vertebrae was performed in 17 cases. Preoperative sagittal Cobb angle was 27.0°±3.9° and 26.8°±4.6° in the anterior cage inserting group and fixation on fractured vertebrae group ( t=0.07, P=0.946), respectively. Sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was 4.2±1.8 cm and 4.1±2.1 cm ( t=0.14, P=0.887), respectively. The number of patients with ASIA impairment scale (AIS) of the anterior cage inserting group before surgery was 1 in grade C, 4 in grade D and 10 in grade E. However, the number of that in fixation on fractured vertebrae group was 2 in grade C, 2 in grade D and 13 in grade E. There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=1.34, P=0.520). Results:All 32 patients were followed up for 12.2±3.1 months in the anterior cage inserting group and 12.0±3.3 months in fixation on fractured vertebrae group. The operative duration of the anterior cage inserting group and fixation on fractured vertebrae was 128±24.5 min and 123±40.6 min ( t=0.42, P=0.681). The intraoperative blood loss was 485±12.6 ml and 478±16.3 ml ( t=0.13, P=0.894), respectively. At the last follow-up, the improvement rate of VAS score of the anterior cage inserting group was higher than that of fixation on fractured vertebrae group (90%±10% vs. 75%±20%, t=3.17, P=0.004). The height of anterior margin of injured vertebra in the two groups was increased by 1.02±0.10 cm and 0.29±0.14 cm, the change rate of anterior cage inserting group was higher than that of fixation on fractured vertebrae group (67.1%±31.5% vs. 19.0%±14.9%, t=16.29, P<0.001). The sagittal Cobb angle of the anterior cage inserting group was significantly lower than that of fixation on fractured vertebrae group (7.4°±1.5° vs. 11.6°±2.5°, t=-5.85, P<0.001). The SVA of anterior cage inserting group was lower than that of fixation on fractured vertebrae group (1.1±0.6 cm vs. 1.6±0.6 cm, t=2.35, P=0.025). There were 15 patients in AIS grade E in the anterior cage inserting group, while 1 patient in grade D and 16 patients in grade E in fixation on fractured vertebrae group without significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=0.83, P=0.706). Conclusion:The treatment of old thoracolumbar fractures with kyphosis through facet joint approach and anterior fixation could achieve satisfied effects and could relieve pain symptoms of thoracolumbar and back, compared with posterior fusion for injured vertebra with nail and bone grafting.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal characteristics of human brucellosis in Henan Province.Methods:Data of human brucellosis in Henan Province from 2005 to 2021 were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and a descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the epidemic profile of brucellosis in Henan Province and the three distribution characteristics. Global and local spatial autocorrelation were used to analyze the spatial distribution and the hot spots of brucellosis in Henan Province, respectively, and spatiotemporal scanning was used to analyze the spatiotemporal clustering regions of brucellosis in Henan Province.Results:A total of 39 862 brucellosis cases were reported in Henan Province from 2005 to 2021, with an average annual incidence of 2.44/100 000, and the number of cases showed an overall increasing trend each year (χ 2trend = 11 127.85, P = 0.001). The onset months were mainly concentrated from March to July, accounting for 59.00% (23 517/39 862), with May as the peak (5 478 cases). Cases of brucellosis were reported in 157 counties (cities, districts) of the province. The ratio of male to female was 2.52∶1.00 (28 542/11 320). Farmers were the main occupation, with 32 985 cases (82.75%). The age of onset was mainly 45 to 65 years old, with 20 226 cases (50.74%). The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the global Moran's I was > 0, Z > 1.96, and P < 0.05 in all years except 2006 - 2008, showing spatial clustering. Further local spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed, and high-high and low-low clustering areas existed in 2012 - 2021 ( P < 0.01). Spatiotemporal scanning analysis showed that there was one spatiotemporal cluster in the high incidence area and two spatiotemporal clusters in the low incidence area. The high incidence cluster was centered in Neixiang County, covering 48 counties (cities, districts) including Song County and Ruzhou City, and the aggregation time was from 2014 to 2021. The two low incidence clusters were centered in Yongcheng City and Boai County, covering 58 and 18 counties (cities, districts), respectively, and the aggregation time was 2016 - 2021 and 2005 - 2012, respectively. Conclusion:The overall incidence of brucellosis in Henan Province is on the rise from 2005 to 2021, with middle-aged and elderly male farmers as the main affected population, and there are spatiotemporal clusters of brucellosis in Henan Province.

Clinical cases treated by magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) for different causes and types of intestinal stenosis/ atresia to successfully achieve intestinal recanalization were reviewed, so as to explore the clinical application of MCA. From May 2019 to August 2022, 4 patients underwent colorectal MCA for intestinal recanalization in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University and Northwest Women and Children's Hospital. All operations went well, and the intestinal anastomosis was recanalized. The magnetic ring was discharged in 7-15 days, and the postoperative colonoscopy or radiography showed that the anastomosis was intact. MCA can be used to treat different types of colorectal stenosis and atresia due to different reasons, and can also be used to assist intestinal anastomosis in colorectal surgery.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and potential mechanism of cornuside on diabetic nephropathy （DN） model mice. METHODS Male KK-Ay mice were fed with high-fat and high-sugar diet for two weeks to reproduce the DN model. The successfully modeled mice were randomly grouped into model group， aminoguanidine group （positive control，100 mg/kg） and cornuside group （100 mg/kg）， and male C57BL/6J mice were included as normal group， with 6 mice in each group. Administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically， and normal group and model group were given a constant volume of normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 8 consecutive weeks. The levels of fasting blood glucose （FBG）， 24 h urinary protein， serum interleukin-12 （IL-12）， IL-10， blood urea nitrogen （BUN） and serum creatinine （Scr） were detected； the pathological injury， fibrotic change and glomerular microstructure of renal tissue were observed； the expressions of the receptor of advanced glycation end products （RAGE）， collagen type Ⅳ （COL-Ⅳ） and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） in renal cortex were detected in each group. RESULTS Compared with normal group， the renal cortex of mice in model group showed obvious inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrotic changes； the mesangial hyperplasia of glomerulus was serious and the basement membrane had a large number of irregular dark dense deposits； the levels of FBG and 24 h urinary protein， the serum levels of IL- 12， BUN and Scr， and the expression levels of RAGE， COL-Ⅳ and iNOS in the renal cortex were significantly increased， while the serum level of IL-10 was significantly decreased （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the renal pathological injuries， fibrotic changes and glomerular microstructure of mice in administration groups were improved significantly， and the above quantitative indexes were generally improved （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Cornuside has a certain protective effect on DN model mice. It can inhibit the inflammatory response， reduce urinary protein excretion， and alleviate renal fibrosis， which may be related to the inhibition of the advanced glycation end products/RAGE signaling pathway.
