Objective Primitive neuroectodermal tumor ( PNET) is a small round cell tumor occurring mostly in children or young adults and categorized into the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors, the purpose of the study was to investigate the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of Children PNET. Methods A retrospective study was performed on clinical data of 13 children with PNET hospitalized in our hospital from March 2010 to Octorber 2014.In order to analyze the clinical effects and prognostic results, statistical analysis was made on their clinical manifestations, CT and ultrasonic results, therapeutic schemes, postoperative pathology and immu-nohistochemical staining results, along with telephone and outpaitient follow-up of average 19 months. Results Of the 13 patients, 4 cases were central nervous system PNET(CNS-PNET) and 9 cases were peripheral PNET(pPNET).The clinical manifestations of the former were headache, vomiting, convolsion, movement disorder or decreased muscle strength, while the latter mainly showed mas-ses and abdominal distention.3 cases with metastasis to lung, lymph nodes and bones respectively showed masses on surface or in cavi-ty in imaging.Homer-Wright pseudorosette textures were found in 12 patients.Immunohistochemical results showed 11 cases with CD99(+), 9 cases with VIM(+) and 8 cases Syn( +).Among 11 patients underwent chemotherapy, 2 cases were lost to follow-up, 7 cases were in stable condition without occurrence and the other 2 cases recurred 4-6 months after chemotherapy.3 of 4 cases with CNS-PNET survived with the sequelae of decreased muscle strength, convolsion and movement disorder.1 case with CNS-PNET and 1 case with pPNET died 7 months and 16 months after diagnosis respectively. Conclusion PNET in children is a very highly malignant tumor with low long-term survival rate.Immunohistochemi-cal examination including CD99 and VIM is of important diagnostic value and CNS-PNET is prone to sequelae.

Objective:
To analyze the correlation between parental involvement and the formation of good eye use behavior in children,and to provide theoretical basis for more accurate prevention and control of myopia.
Methods:
A total of 2 726 children and their parents from 3 primary schools were selected from April to May 2021 by clustering sampling method. Children s ocular parameters, eye use behavior, general characteristics of parents, and parental involvement were collected through ocular measurements and questionnaires, respectively.
Results:
Parental involvement was associated with family economic, parental education level, and parental myopic status( P <0.05). Children s myopia risk was associated with parental involvement: lower myopia risk was associated with frequent parental involvement in behavioral management of child sleep and child outdoor activities( P <0.01). Parents who always/frequently participate in the management of children s eye behavior have an average daily screen time of <2 h ( OR= 1.95 , 95%CI =1.31-2.90), and daily outdoor activity time>2 h ( OR=0.78, 95%CI =0.65-0.93), daily sleep time >8 h ( OR= 0.52 , 95%CI =0.40-0.68), daily continuous reading and writing time <1 h ( OR=1.33, 95%CI =1.30-1.56), reading and writing The distance from the desktop > 30 cm ( OR=0.57, 95%CI =0.34-0.95) had a statistically significant effect ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High parental involvement may help school age children develop good eye habits and reduce the risk of childhood myopia. Parental involvement is higher among those who had myopia themselves, and parental involvement is positively associated with total household income and parental literacy.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of hypertension and its associated factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods:Consecutive Chinese patients with RA were recruited from August 2015 to September 2019 at Department of Rheumatology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. Demo-graphic data and clinical data were collected including indicators of disease activity, functional assessment and radiographic assessment, comorbidities and previous medications. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the related factors of hypertension in RA patients.Results:There were 674 RA patients recruited with 82.3%(555/674) female and mean age (50±13) years. The prevalence rate of hypertension was 32.9% (222/674), followed by dyslipidemia (9.9%, n=67), type 2 diabetes (8.8%, n=59), hyperuricemia (8.5%, n=43), fatty liver disease (8.0%, n=54), cardiovascular disease (6.2%, n=42) and chronic kidney disease (3.3%, n=22). Compared with those without hypertension, RA patients with hypertension had advanced age with longstanding disease duration, higher disease activity indicators, worse joint destruction, and higher proportions of comorbidities. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that comorbidities including hyperuricemia [ OR=1.977, 95% CI(1.002, 3.900)], dyslipidemia [ OR=1.903, 95% CI(1.102, 3.288)] and fatty liver disease [ OR=2.335, 95% CI(1.278, 4.265)] were risk factors of hypertension after adjustment for age and gender. Conclusion:Hyperten-sion is the most common comorbidity in RA patients which is associated with comor-bidities including hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia and fatty liver disease. Detection and management of hyperten-sion and other cardiovascular disease related comorbidities in RA patients should be emphasized.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of functional limitation and associated factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Consecutive patients with RA were recruited from August 2015 to June 2019 at Department of Rheumatology, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital. Demographic and clinical characteristics including age, gender, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, clinical disease activity index (CDAI), modified total Sharp score were collected. Physical function was assessed by the Stanford health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI).Ordered logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of HAQ-DI.Results:A total of 643 RA patients were finally recruited including 114 males and 529 females with mean age (49.7±12.9) years. There were 399 (62.1%) patients having different degrees of functional limitation, who were classified as mild (293, 45.6%), moderate (73, 11.4%) and severe (33, 5.1%). The prevalence of functional limitation was positively correlated with age and disease activity. The most restricted activity was walking [43.5% (280/643)], followed by gripping [36.1% (232/643)], reaching [35.5% (228/643)], daily activities [33.4% (215/643)], hygiene [33.0% (212/643)], dressing and grooming [29.7% (191/643)] and arising [29.1% (187/643)], and the last eating [18.4% (118/643)]. Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.019, 95% CI 1.004-1.035),pain VAS ( OR=1.820, 95% CI 1.616-2.050), ESR ( OR=1.009, 95% CI 1.001-1.017), CDAI ( OR=1.080, 95% CI 1.059-1.102) and modified total Sharp score ( OR=1.010, 95% CI 1.004-1.015) were associated factors of functional limitation. Conclusion:The majority RA patients have functional limitation. Age, pain and active disease are independent associated factors. Therefore, target treatment and control of pain should be emphasized in RA patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of Huayu xiaozhong decoction (HXD) on inflammatory response in rats with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). METHODS The male SD rats were divided into control group (CK group), model group (Model group), HXD low-dose group (HXD-L group, HXD 10.86 mg/kg), HXD medium-dose group (HXD-M group, HXD 21.71 mg/kg), HXD high-dose group (HXD-H group, HXD 32.57 mg/kg), positive control group (LMWHS group, low molecular weight heparin sodium 600 IU/kg), silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2) inhibitor group (AK-7 group, AK-7 20 mg/kg), HXD-M+AK-7 group (HXD 21.71 mg/kg+AK-7 20 mg/kg), with 12 rats in each group. Except for the CK group, the DVT rat was induced by the Reyers method in other groups; after modeling, administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically/intraperitoneally, once a day, for consecutive 2 weeks. Twenty-four hours after the last medication, the coagulation function indexes [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen (FIB)] and inflammatory indexes in serum and inferior vena cava tissue [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] of rats were detected. The formation of thrombus was observed, and the wet and dry masses of the thrombus were weighed. The protein expressions of tissue factor (TF) and SIRT2 as well as the phosphorylation and acetylation levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 in inferior vena cava tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with CK group, APTT, TT and PT of rats in Model group were shortened significantly(P<0.05); the content of FIB, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, wet weight and dry weight of venous thrombus, TF protein staining score, the phosphorylation and acetylation levels of NF-κB p65 protein increased significantly (P<0.05); the inferior vena cava was full of thrombus, and the protein expression of SIRT2 decreased (P<0.05). Compared with Model group, above indexes of HXD-L group, HXD-M group, HXD-H group and LMWHS group were improved, while the improvement effects of HXD-M group, HXD-H group and LMWHS group were significantly better than those of HXD-L group (P<0.05). The trends of the corresponding indicators in AK-7 group were opposite to the above (P<0.05); AK-7 attenuated the inhibitory effect of medium-dose HXD on the inflammatory response in model rats (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS HXD may inhibit the inflammatory response of DVT rats by activating SIRT2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To provide re ference for scientific management and rational use of antibiotics. METHODS :Provincial antibiotic classification management lists were retrieved from official websites of provincial health administrative departments , CNKI and other search engines from Apr. 2012 to Mar. 2020. The difference and adjustment of those lists were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS : Since April 2012, 30 provinces released provincial antibiotic classification management lists ,among which only 10 provinces updated the lists. In the provincial classification management lists ,the list of Jiangsu included the most antibiotics (208 kinds),that of Xinjiang involved the least (101 kinds). Among the 253 antibiotics included in the provincial lists ,134 antibiotics had two management levels ,and 19 antibiotics had three management levels. The 10 antibiotics with the most times of adjustment in the provincial lists mainly include nitimidazoles ,β-lautam compound preparations and quinolones. There was the phenomenon that the same antibiotics were simultaneously included or withdrawn from the lists ,and the grading management level was increased or decreased in the provincial adjustment. Provincial classification management lists updated slowly in China ,and the quantity and classification of drugs selected in the list were quite different. It is suggested that provincial health administrative departments should continuously optimizeand improve classification management list of antibiotics , and form a long-term mechanism of dynamic adjustment of list and inter-provincial evidence sharing ,so as to promote the rational clinical use of antibiotics ,and curb bacterial resistance.
