Objective To assess the predictive value of coronary angiography TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG), electrocardiogram (ECG) single-lend ST segment resolution (STR), ECG Max-ST-segment deviation (MaxSTE) on judging myocardial reperfusion after primary angioplasty in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) was performed in 42 patients within 12 hours after AMI onset. Coronary angiography and ECG was done before and after angioplasty. TMPG, ECG single-leed STR and MaxSTE were used to assess myocardial reperfusion immediately after PCI. Myocardial perfusion scan was examined in all the patients using99mTc-MIBI SPECT on day 7±2. Results Compared with the level of myocardial perfusion demonstrated in myocardial scan of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of TMPG, single-lead STR and MaxSTE was calculated. The sensitivity of TMPG, single-lead STR and MaxSTE was 93.75%, 87.50% and 81.25%, respectively, the specificity of them was 20.00%, 80.00% and 80.00%, respectively, and the accuracy was 76.19%, 85.71% and 80.95%, respectively. The findings in single-lead STR and MaxSTE matched well with the results of myocardial scan of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT. Conclusion In the patients suffering from AMI treated with PCI, ECG is an effective method to assess myocardial tissue reperfusion.

Background and purpose: Itch protein is an established regulator of T cell immune response thresholds, belong to a class of E3 ubiquitin-transferring enzymes, widely involve in the ubiquitination of several key signaling molecules, such as ZAP70, P85, VAV, PLC-γ, PKC-θ, etc, plays a critical role in tumor induced immu-nosuppression. Itch ligase activity regulate T-cell anergy and development of regulatory T cells in the periphery by modulating key components of T-cell receptor and transforming growth factor-βsignaling. Therefore, manipulation of Itch activities may provide the opportunities to develop future therapies for immune disorders such as autoimmunity and cancer. speciifc small interfering RNA(siRNA) was utilized to silence the expression of Itch gene of T-lymphocytes and investigate the cytotoxicity activity of transfected T lymphocytes against MFC stomach neoplasms cells in vitro. Methods:T lymphocytes were isolated from the spleen of 615 mice and transfected by speciifc siRNA to silence the expression of Itch gene, The expression of Itch protein were examined by Western bolt in each group;72 hours after transfection, The secretion level of IL-2, INF-γwere measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). At the end, the cytotoxicity activity changes against MFC stomach neoplasms cells was compared between transfected T lym-phocytes, negative control and blank control in vitro. Results:Compared with control group, the expression rate of Itch protein of transfected T-lymphocytes was decreased to 16%after transfection 48 hours;72 hours after transfection, the secretion level of IL-2 in transfection group, negative control and blank control respectively were (1 891.96±141.91)pg/mL, (1 241.69±91.67)pg/mL and (1 175.03±89.14)pg/mL (P<0.001), the secretion level of INF-γin transfection group, negative control and blank control respectively were (958.33±75.46)pg/mL, (683.33±66.67)pg/mL and (691.72±68.72) pg/mL (P<0.05). Transfected T lymphocyte also showed more efifcient killing ability against MFC stomach neoplasms cells than negative control and blank control in vitro, the highest killing rate has reached (54.18±2.96)%. Conclusion:Silencing Itch gene can signiifcantly promoted the secretion level of IL-2, INF-γof mice T lymphocyte, enhanced the cytotoxicity activity of T lymphocyte against MFC stomach neoplasms cells in vitro.

Objective To explore the best treatment strategy of pyogenic brain abscesses.Methods Clinical data of 45 patients(34 males and 11 females,ages ranged from 7 to 76 years,averaged 42.6 years) with brain abscess treated from January 1999 to March 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 45 patients,there were 40 with single brain abscess and 5 with multiple brain abscess;43 with unilocular abscess and 2 with multilocular abscess.19 patients accepted the conservative treatment with the third generation cephalosporin,16 were treated with stereotactic puncture of abscess,8 treated with stereotactic puncture and drainage,and microsurgical excision was performed in 5 patients.Results Of the 19 patients treated with conservative method,16 were cured,no recurrence was found during the follow-up period(from 6 months to 5 years) in 13 patients,and another 3 were deteriorated and accepted stereotactic operation.All the stereotactic operations were carried successfully out in 24 patients(including 3 cases after expectant treatment failure) and only one patient needed another stereotactic aspiration two weeks later because of abscess recurrence after the initial operation.Epileptic seizure was found in one patient at the end of stereotactic procedure.Total removal of brain abscess was performed by microsurgical craniotomy in 5 patients.At the time of discharge,clinical symptoms disappeared or were improved remarkably,and CT or MRI re-examination disclosed the disappearance or obviously diminution of abscess in all patients.No abscess recurred during the follow-up period(from 4 months to 3 years,average 14 months) in 22 patients.Conclusion A set of treatment strategy of pyogenic brain abscesses has been proposed and stereotactic operation seems to be the most appropriate surgical choice.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of preoperative prerehabilitation in elderly patients with knee arthroplasty combined with sarcopenia.Methods:A total of 164 elderly patients who were hospitalized and underwent artificial knee arthroplasty combined with sarcopenia in Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2020 to December 2021 were included by the convenient sampling method. According to random number table method, they were divided into the control group and the observation group, with 82 cases in each group. The control group received routine preoperative nursing, and the observation group received preoperative pre-rehabilitation intervention on the basis of the control group. Knee range of motion, Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) , skeletal muscle mass index and grip strength were evaluated before intervention and 1 month after operation. Length of stay and postoperative complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:Knee range of motion, HSS of two groups at 1 month after operation were higher than those before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . One month after surgery, the knee range of motion, HSS and grip strength of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The skeletal muscle mass index of the observation group was higher one month after surgery than before intervention, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . The hospitalization time of observation group was shorter than control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of complications in the observation group and control group was respectively 15.85% (13/82) and 39.02% (32/82) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Preoperative rehabilitation can effectively improve the knee range of motion and joint function of elderly patients with sarcopenia after knee rarthroplasty, alleviate sarcopenia, shorten the length of hospital stay and reduce postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the current status and longitudinal development trajectory of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing hip replacement surgery and analyze the relationship between POCD and postoperative hip joint function recovery.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, elderly patients who underwent hip replacement surgery in Department of Orthopedics in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the research objects. The cognitive function at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months after surgery was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the longitudinal development trajectory of postoperative POCD was fitted using latent class growth model (LCGM). The differences between cognitive function categories and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) score at 3 months after surgery were compared by ANOVA.Results:A total of 307 elderly patients with hip replacement completed full follow-up and data collection. The incidence of POCD (MMSE<8 points) in patients at four postoperative time points was 30.29% (93/307), 29.97% (92/307), 28.66% (88/307) and 21.17% (65/307), respectively. The MMSE score was lowest at 1 week after surgery. Three potential categories of cognitive function longitudinal development tracks were identified by LCGM, including 208 cases (67.75%) with no cognitive dysfunction, 32 cases (10.42%) with improved cognitive dysfunction, and 67 cases (21.82%) with continuous cognitive dysfunction. Three months after surgery, patients with no cognitive impairment had the lowest OHS score, while patients with persistent cognitive impairment had the highest OHS score. There were statistically significant differences in OHS scores among patients with three longitudinal potential categories of cognitive function ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of POCD in elderly patients with hip replacement varies at different postoperative times, with the most significant difference occurring at 1 week after surgery. Medical staff must dynamically evaluate the postoperative cognitive function of elderly patients and adopt targeted nursing strategies for different types of cognitive impairments, to promote the patient's recovery of hip function.

Objective To investigate the clinical severity,etiological classification and risk factors of severe cases with hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD).Methods A total of 1 489 records on severe and fatal HFMD cases reported to the national pilot surveillance system of HFMD were used to analyze the demographic,medical treatment,etiological classification of the cases.Treatment outcome related risk factors were also studied with multi-variable stepwise logistic regression method.Results Seven out of the 1 489 severe HFMD cases died of this disease.A total of 960 (72.9％) were under three years old and 62.9％ were male and most of the cases (937,62.9％) resided in rural areas.Among all the cases,494 (33.2％) went to seek the first medical assistance at the institutions of village or township level.Durations between disease onset and first medical attendance,being diagnosed as the disease or diagnosed as severe cases were 0(0-1) d,1 (0-2) d and 2 (1-4) d,respectively.In total,773 (51.9％) of the severe HFMD cases were diagnosed as with aseptic meningitis,260 (17.5％) with brainstem encephalitis,377 (25.3 ％) with non-brainstem encephalitis,6 (0.4％) with encephalomyelitis,1 (0.1％) with acute flaccid paralysis,4 (0.3％) with pulmonary hemorrhage/pulmonary edema and 68 (4.6％) with cardiopulmonary failure.Of the etiologically diagnosed 1 217 severe and fatal HFMD cases,642 (52.8％) were with EV71,other enterovirus 261 (21.5％),Cox A16 36 (3.0％),1 (0.1％) with both EV71 and Cox A16.However,277 (22.8％) showed negative on any pathogenic virus.Complication (Z=3.15,P=0.002) and duration between onset and diagnosed as severe cases (Z=3.95,P＜0.001) were shown as key factors related to treatment outcomes.Conclusions Most severe HFMD cases appeared in boys,especially living in the rural areas.Frequently seen complications would include aseptic meningitis,non-brainstem encephalitis and brainstem encephalitis.EV71 was the dominant etiology for severe and fatal cases.Early diagnosis and complication control were crucial,related to the treatment outcome of HFMD.

Objective: To understand the characteristics relating to the etiology and complications of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) based on data from the pilot National Sentinel Surveillance (NSS) program so as to explore the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of the NSS. Methods: Data were extracted from the NSS system, conducted in 11 provinces of China from November 2015 to October 2016. Characteristics regarding the etiology, complications of HFMD and factors related to the positive rates of HFMD specimens were analyzed under the logistic regression method by SPSS 20.0 software. Results: A total of 4 783 specimens were collected, including 3 390 from mild, 1 390 from severe and 3 from death cases. The overall positive rate was 81.43% (3 895/4 783). Other enteroviruses (non EV71/Cox A16 enteroviruses) appeared the major serotype (52.68%, 1 482/2 813) for mild infection of the disease while EV71 was for the severe cases (65.31%, 706/1 081). The serotype spectrum revealed by the pilot NSS was almost identical with the existing surveillance system. Other enteroviruses tended to infect younger children (χ²=130.17, P<0.001) than EV71 and Cox A16, in China. The multivariate logistic regression results showed that higher positive rate was associated with specimens which were collected from males, at children’ hospitals, in peak seasons, timely and in stools. The positive rates presented downwarding trends with the extension of the onset-sampling interval (χ²=14.47, P<0.001 in stool specimen; χ²=31.99, P<0.001 in throat swab; χ²=24.26, P<0.001 in anal swab). Aseptic meningitis, non-brainstem encephalitis and brainstem encephalitis appeared the top three complications of both EV71-associated and other enteroviruses-associated severe HFMD cases. Conclusions Factors as gender, season/place/timeliness of specimen collection, and types of hospital all appeared independently influenced the positive rates. NSS seemed feasible to be used as an alternative or supplement tool to the existing surveillance program in China.

Objective To investigate the awareness of malaria-related knowledge, the use of mosquito nets and their influencing factors among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province.. Methods In August 2020, 19 settlement sites in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province were selected as study areas, and permanent residents at ages of 10 years and older were enrolled for a questionnaire survey, including residents’ demographics, family economic status, malaria control knowledge and use of mosquito nets. In addition, the factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 320 questionnaires were allocated, and all were recovered (a 100% recovery rate). There were 316 valid questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 98.75%. The 316 respondents included 152 men and 164 women and 250 Chinese respondents and 66 foreign respondents. The awareness of clinical syndromes of malaria was significantly higher among Chinese residents (71.60%) than among foreign residents (50.00%) (χ² = 11.03, P < 0.01), and the proportions of Chinese and foreign residents sleeping under mosquito nets were 46.00% and 69.70% on the night prior to the survey, respectively (χ² = 11.73, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified ethnicity group and type of residence as factors affecting the use of mosquito nets in the night prior to the survey. Conclusions The awareness of malaria control knowledge, the coverage and the use of mosquito nets were low among residents in Banlao Township, Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province. Targeted health education is recommended to improve the awareness of malaria control knowledge and self-protection ability. In addition, improving the allocation of long-lasting mosquito nets and health education pertaining to their uses and increasing the proportion of using mosquito nets correctly is needed to prevent re-establishment of imported malaria.
