Objective We make a retrospective analysis , to compare to COPD group and discuss the risk factors and the clinical features in acute exacerbation in patients with ACOS to follow-up the exacerbating frequency after regular treatment in both two groups in one year. Methods There were 56 patients with ACOS and 80 patients with COPD from 2013 to 2015 in our hospital in 30%≤FEV1<80% in the stable phase. The common data of the enrolled patients included the age,sex,smoking, and allergic rhinitis or other allergic diseases in family. We analyzed laboratory index including PaO2,PaCO2,CRP,white blood cells,IgE of serums and compared the proportion of antibiotics,system used of glucocorticoid and noninvasive ventilation in hospitalization of acute exacerbation and followed up exacerbating frequency after using ICS united LABA/LAMA. Results The age and smoking index in the ACOS group were lower than the COPD group (P < 0.05). The allergic rhinitis or other familial allergic diseases,lower age of 60,the high IgE in serum were risk factor, in ACOS. In acute exacerbation, the PaCO2,IgE and WBC in serum were higher than that of the COPD group(P <0.05). The midian length of stay in hosipital was 12 days in the ACOS group and 8 days in the COPD group. The proportion of antibiotics,systemic administration of glucocorticoid and noninvasive ventilation in hospitalization of acute exacerbation in the ACOS group were higher than that of the COPD group (P < 0.05). The exacerbating frequency was decreased after using ICS united LABA/LAMA(1.2±0.6 vs 3.8±1.3,P < 0.05)in both ACOS and COPD groups. Conclusions The allergic diseases may participate in ACOS, in which it has familial tendency. In acute exacerbation, ACOS patients had even more inflammation and faster course than COPD patients. Using ICS united LABA/LAMA can reduce exacerbating frequency in ACOS.

Objective To study how ANGPTL4 modulates phenylephrine(PE)-induced cardiac fibrosis. Methods PE was applied to induce cardiac fibrosis. The knockdown effect of ANGPTL4 under PE stimuli was confirmed by Western blot;the proliferation of cardiac fibroblast was detected by CCK-8;mRNA levels of Collagen 1(Col1)and connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)were detected by QPCR to investigate the regula-tion of cardiac fibrosis by ANGPTL4. Results PE induced the proliferation of cardiac fibroblast and the up-regula-tion of mRNA levels of Col1 and CTGF;ANGPTL4 knockdown deteriorated cardiac fibrosis,manifested by the up-regulation of Col1 and CTGF. Conclusion ANGPTL4 inhibits PE-induced cardiac fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the main origin of IL-6 during acute rejection of renal transplantation and provide the experimental foundations for expounding the molecular pathogenic mechanism of acute rejective reaction of renal transplantation Methods 3'IL-6 probe with in situ hybridization technique was used to detect the IL-6mRNA expression in renal graft. Results (1) Renal graft expression of IL-6mKNA in acute rejection was higher than that in CsA toxicosis, stable transplantation and normal control. (2) Expression of IL-6mRNA in tubular epithe-lium of acute rejection graft was higher than that in glomerular cells ,vascular endotheli-um and interstitium. (3) The expression of IL-6mRNA in renal graft of CsA toxicosis was similar with that in stable transplantation and normal control. Conclusion Renal graft cells may produce IL-6 directly during acute rejection. The abnormal expression and activation of IL-6 in renal graft may play an important role in the mechanism of renal acute rejection. Graft tubular epithelium may play a more important role in the cause of immunorejection.

Objective To investigate sexual dysfunction and its rehabilitation,as well as quality of life in patients after spinal cord injury(SCI). Methods Sixty-two male patients with SCl were assessed with a 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function(IIEF-5),an especially-designed sexual function scale,and the World Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire(WHO-QOL).Their results were compared with those of 146 other patients with work injuries hospitalized in the same period.Results 77.9% of 62 cases had moderate to severe erectile dysfunction.though more than half of them remained sexually active.52.7% had attempted sexual intercourse,but only 19.5% succeeded,and only 14.5% obtained sexual satisfaction.69.1% of the 62 patients had psychological symptoms,and 27.27% had family problems.Their average score on the WHO-QOL was significantly lower than that of the other disabled workers.There were significant differences between the two groups with regard to quality of life.especially in the physiological and social relationships domains. Conclusion Most male patients with SCI had sexual dysfunction and decreased quality of life.Sexual dysfunction rehabilitation of SCI patients needs urgent strengthening.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of peroutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) of parathyroid gland guided by color ultrasound on dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathy-roidism. Methods Percutaneons ethanol injection therapy (PELT) was used for seven patients who suf-fered from secondary hyperparathyroidism, and systemic perioperative nursing care and relative health edu-cation were applied. Results All patients had obtained successful operation without any operative sud-denness or associated complications,Patients" serious scratching and bone ache was obviously relieved.Conclusions Treatment with PEIT and effective nursing to patients suffered from secondary hyper-parathyroidism can reduce the complications, and than improve the quality of live for patients.

Objective To analyze the precipitating factors for,clinical manifestations of,laboratory findings in and therapeutic effect on acute urticaria.Methods Clinical data were collected from 185 inpatients with acute urticaria in Shanxi Dayi Hospital from January 2013 to December 2016.Clinical features,laboratory examination results,treatment,prognosis and adverse reactions were analyzed retrospectively.Statistical analysis was carried out by chi-square test.Results There were 63 male patients and 122 female patients in this study,with an average age at onset of 32.87 ± 14.18 years.Of the 185 patients,78 (42.2％) were able to report the aetiological agents accurately,33 (17.8％) were induced by infection or drug therapy following infection,and 82 (44.3％) had fever.Blood cell analysis showed increased white blood cell count in 132 (71.4％) cases and increased proportion of neutrophils in 128 (69.2％) cases.The level of C reactive protein increased in 118 (69％) of 171 cases.A total of 185 patients received routine anti-anaphylactic treatment.Of 183 cured patients,153 (83.6％) were treated with antibiotics,26(14.2％)with antibiotics alone,and 24(13.1％) with azithromycin.There were 127 (69.4％) patients receiving combined treatment with glucocorticoids,antibiotics,and so on,and the antibiotic used in 111 (60.7％) cases was azithromycin.Of 88 cured patients with simultaneous signs of infection,85 (96.6％) showed increased levels of part or all of infection markers (including the white blood cell count,proportion of neutrophils and level of C reactive protein),and 69 (78.4％) were treated with azithromycin.Of 95 cured patients without signs of infection,83 (87.4％) showed increased levels of infection markers,and 61 (64.2％) were treated with azithromycin.Moreover,there were significant differences in the proportion of patients with increased levels of infection markers and that of patients treated with azithromycin between the cured patients with and without signs of infection (x2 =5.164,4.476,both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Infection is a common cause of acute urticaria,and laboratory examinations including white blood cell count,proportion of neutrophils and level of C reactive protein are of important reference value to the diagnosis of infection in patients with acute urticaria.Patients with signs of infection or increased levels of infection markers need to be treated with combined anti-infective therapy,and in the cured patients,the proportion of patients administrating azithromycin was higher than that of those administrating other antibiotics for the treatment of acute infectious urticaria.

Objective:To assess the bacterial profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in uropathogens, and help to inform the empiric treatment decisions for urinary tract infection in outpatient settings.Methods:A single institutional retrospective analysis was performed on positive urine cultures from outpatient settings between January 1998 and December 2018. To analyze changes over time, trends analysis were undertaken on bacterial profiles, antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance.Results:A total of 1.172 pathogenic bacteria were isolated after exclusion of duplicate strains originated from the same patient, including 991(84.6%) Gram-negative bacterial strains and 181(15.4%) Gram-positive strains. The most common Gram-negative uropathogens were Escherichia coli (60.8%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (8.1%). Enterococcus faecalis (4.6%) was the predominant Gram-positive strain. The detection rate of Escherichia coli increased significantly, from 50.8% to 63.2% ( χ2=7.978, P=0.046), and no significant difference was observed in the distribution of major uropathogenic bacteria over the 20 years (all P>0.05). The proportion of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) producing strains increased significantly across the 20 years ( P<0.05). The resistance rates of Escherichia coli to amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, aztreonam, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin and sulbactam + cefoperazone increased significantly (all P<0.05). All the isolates sustained high susceptibility to tazobactam + piperacillin, amikacin, imipenem and nitrofurantoin (95.0%, 95.7%, 97.9% and 91.1%). Similar to those of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae remained a high and stable sensitivity to tazobactam+piperacillin, amikacin and imipenem during the 20 years (79.1%, 88.0% and 80.3%). However, the proportion of ESBLs producing strains increased significantly ( P<0.05). Among Gram-positive bacteria isolates, the sensitivity rates of Enterococcus faecalis to ampicillin, nitrofurantoin and penicillin G were 100.0%. No vancomycin resistant strain was detected in Gram-positive bacteria. Conclusions:From 1998 to 2018, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are the most common Gram-negative bacteria uropathogens obtained in outpatient settings. Significant increases of resistance to some antimicrobial agents such as second- and third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones are observed during the 20 years and high susceptibilities to tazobactam+piperacillin, amikacin, imipenem and nitrofurantoin sustain over time. Local treatment strategies of urinary tract infections on outpatient basis should be made according to epidemiology of drug resistance and individual characteristics to control the spread and curb the prevalence of drug resistant.

Objective:To explore the causes and summarize the treatment experience for clinically relevant delayed gastric emptying(DGE) after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy(LPD).Methods:The clinical data of 1 000 patients who underwent LPD in the Department of Liver Transplantation and Hepatobiliary Surgery,Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University between March 2017 and September 2022 was retrospectively collected. There were 640 males and 360 females,with an age of (60.1±11.4)years(range: 13 to 93 years),and 590 patients were older than 60 years. Depending on the severity of DGE,patients were divided into a clinically relevant DGE group and a 0/A grade DGE group. The comparison between the two groups was performed by the χ2 test,Fisher′s exact probability method, t test or the rank sum test,and the effects of various treatment strategies for clinically relevant DGE were evaluated. Results:LPD was conducted successfully in all 1 000 patients,with a surgical time of (344.8±103.6)minutes(range:160 to 450 minutes) and intraoperative blood loss ( M(IQR)) of 100 (150) ml(range:50 to 1 000 ml). A total of 74 patients(7.4%) developed clinically relevant DGE. Compared to those in the 0/A grade DGE group,patients in the clinically relevant DGE group had a higher preoperative body mass index of ((24.9±3.5)kg/m 2vs. (23.9±3.3)kg/m 2, t=-2.419, P=0.016),more postoperative bile leakage(51.4%(38/74) vs. 10.8%(100/926)),pancreatic fistula(59.5%(44/74) vs. 22.9%(212/926)),abdominal infection(74.3%(55/74) vs.14.6%(135/926)),and abdominal bleeding(43.2%(32/74) vs. 11.3%(105/926))(all P<0.05). Among these patients,10 cases(13.5%) received enteral nutrition treatment,22 cases(29.7%) received parenteral nutrition treatment,and 42 cases(56.8%) received a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition treatment. The time for patients to return to a normal diet was 21(14)days (range: 8 to 85 days). Compared to those who received only enteral(23.5(27.0)days) or parenteral nutrition treatment(15.5(11.0)days),patients who received a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition treatment(25.5(31.0)days) had a longer time to return to a normal diet ( Z=20.019, P<0.01). Among the 60 patients who developed secondary DGE,48 cases(80.0%) received ultrasound-guided puncture and drainage treatment,while 12 cases(20.0%) only received anti-infection treatment. The patients in the non-puncture drainage group had a longer time to return to a normal diet than those in the puncture drainage group (26.5(12.5)days vs. 20.0(11.0)days, Z=-2.369, P=0.018). Conclusions:Patients with clinically relevant DGE after LPD had a higher proportion of postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula,biliary fistula and abdominal infection. A combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition treatment is needed for patients with a long-term course of DGE."Smooth" drainage and ani-infectious therapy could contribute to the recovery of DGE.

Objective:To explore the effects of WeChat-based health education on management of hypertensive outpatients under medical consortium.Methods:Totally 180 hypertensive patients who attended the Multidisciplinary Clinics of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, and Datun Community Health Service Center from communities under our medical consortium from November 2018 to April 2019 were selected and divided into the observation group ( n=91) and the control group ( n=89) according to the visit time. Patients in the control group received routine health education, while patients in the observation group received WeChat-based health education under medical consortium for 6 months. The self-management ability (using Hypertension Patients Behavior Rating Scale, HPSMBRS) , treatment compliance (using Therapeutic Adherence Scale for Hypertensive Patients, TASHP) , the 24 h average systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure at daytime, and the average systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at night were compared between the two groups. Results:After the intervention, the diet management, medication management, disease monitoring, exercise management, work and rest and emotional management scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, the medication-taking behavior, bad medication-taking behavior, daily activity management behavior and tobacco and alcohol addiction scores were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, the 24 h average systolic and diastolic blood pressure, average systolic and diastolic blood pressure at daytime and average systolic and diastolic blood pressure at night decreased in the observation group, and the differences were statistically significant compared with the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The WeChat platform under medical consortium provides standardized, consistent, continuous and effective health education, which can improve the self-management ability and treatment compliance of hypertensive outpatients, and can effectively control blood pressure levels. It shows sound effects in clinical use.
