Objective To explore the effects of immune-enhanced enteral nutrition support on the clinical outcome and nutritional status of patients with acute stress.Methods From December 2014 to August 2015,120 patients with acute stress were enrolled in this study in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group,60 cases in each group.Besides of medical treatment,the control group received routine enteral nutrition,while the experimental group received immune-enhanced nutrition for 8 days.The main parameters related to nutritional status,immune function,blood glucose,infection control of patients were collected.Results No significance of parameters listed above were observed between patients in the two groups at baseline.After intervention,the levels of prealbumin and lymphocyte counts in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group [(162.5±29.7) mg/L and (136.6±15.1) mg/ L,(1.86±0.9) × 109/L and (1.45±0.710) × 109/L,P=0.021 and P=0.012].The levels of C-reactive protein in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group [(47.2±22.1) mg/L and (82.6±13.4) mg/L,P--0.043].Moreover,the level of blood glucose in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group [(5.4±1.7) mmol/L and (6.6±3.5) mmol/L,P=0.009].The patients in the experimental group had better intestinal tolerance (8.3% vs 25%,P=0.014) but lower mortality (6.7% vs 20%,P=0.032) than those in the control group.Conclusions Immune-enhanced enteral nutrition can reduce level of blood glucose and alleviate inflammatory responses of patients with acute stress,thus improving intestinal tolerance,and reducing mortality.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of atypical adenomyosis and fibroids using a decision tree model.Methods:The data of cases with difficulty in differentiating atypical adenomyosis from fibroids on conventional ultrasound examination at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from April 2021 to April 2022 were selected and analyzed. Ninety-five patients with contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination were finally selected, including 64 patients in the pathologically confirmed adenomyosis group and 31 patients in the fibroids group. The data from the qualitative analysis and the quantitative analysis of the time-intensity curve (TIC) curve were collected separately, including the temporal variability of contrast entry into the lesion, i.e.the difference between the time when the contrast agent started to enter the lesion and the time when the contrast agent finally filled the lesion completely. Indicators were first screened for inclusion in the decision tree model by univariate and multifactorial analyses, and decision tree models based on qualitative analysis indicators, and qualitative and TIC-based analyses were developed to further assess the diagnostic efficacy of both models.Results:Through the univariate analysis, it showed that the qualitative analysis indicators of lesion onset enhancement pattern, enhancement intensity, intra-lesion contrast distribution, and post-contrast lesion border were of statistical significance (all P<0.05) between the two groups. The differences in contrast arrive time (AT), contrast time to peak (TTP), |ΔAT|, and |ΔTTP| in the TIC curve analysis indexes were statistically significant between the two groups (all P<0.05). The difference in lesion temporal phase variability was statistically significant between the two groups ( P<0.05). After further screening by multifactorial analysis, the accuracy and misdiagnosis rates were 87.40% and (17.90±3.90)% in the qualitative analysis-based decision tree model respectively, and 90.50% and (21.10±4.20) % in the qualitative and TIC curve-based analysis decision tree model respectively. The ROC curves were plotted according to the two groups of models, and the areas under the curves were 0.915 and 0.931 respectively. Conclusions:A decision tree model based on ultrasonographic image analysis has diagnostic value for the differential diagnosis of atypical adenomyosis and uterine fibroids.

ObjectiveTo analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics and prevention and control measures of the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in Shanghai in 2022, aiming to optimize future prevention and control strategies. MethodsDescriptive statistical method was used to analyze data on daily infections released by the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission from March 1 to June 30, 2022. ResultsAs of 30 June, a total of 627 110 infections and 588 deaths had been reported in Shanghai. Most of the cases were in Pudong New Area (35.47%), Minhang District (10.18%) and Huangpu District (9.27%). The cumulative infection rate was 8.78% in Huangpu District, which was the highest among all the districts. With the progress of the pandemic, the prevention and control measures were strengthened from a “precise prevention and control” strategy to “block and grid” screening, and then upgraded to city-wide lockdown. All daily new infections were identified from the quarantined population on April 29, 2022, reaching the goal of “clearance of community transmission”. ConclusionThe cumulative infections in Shanghai exceeded any previous epidemics in mainland China. Given the enhanced transmissibility and vaccine-induced immune escape of the Omicron variant, timely and strong public health measures are needed to suppress the pandemic under the general policy of "Dynamic zero-COVID".

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.
