Objective:To explore the application effect of multimodal quantitative rehabilitation exercise in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and to provide reference for patients′ rehabilitation exercise.Methods:The quasi-experimental study method was used to select 78 patients with ankylosing spondylitis admitted to Rheumatology and Immunology Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from February 2021 to February 2022 as the research objects. The 39 patients admitted from February 2021 to August 2021 as the control group, and 39 patients admitted from September 2021 to February 2022 as the experimental group. The control group adopted conventional rehabilitation exercise program, and the experimental group adopted multimodal quantitative rehabilitation exercise program. The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index, Bath ankylosing spondylitis function index, inflammatory factors after 6 months of intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index in the experimental group after 6 months of intervention was (2.35 ± 0.81) points, and that in the control group was (3.47 ± 1.04) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t = 4.02, P<0.05). The Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index in the two groups were analyzed by repeated measurement variance. The differences of time effect, inter group effect and interaction effect were statistically significant ( Fgroup = 11.27, Ftime = 62.05, Finteraction = 5.47, all P<0.05). The Bath ankylosing spondylitis function index in the experimental group after 6 months of intervention was (2.11 ± 0.32) points, and that in the control group was (3.07 ± 0.58) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t = 4.03, P<0.05). The Bath ankylosing spondylitis function index in the two groups were analyzed by repeated measurement variance. The differences in time effect, inter group effect and interaction effect were statistically significant ( Fgroup = 21.44, Ftime = 42.25, Finteraction = 16.67, all P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, transforming growth factor β, tumor necrosis factor-α were (43.15 ± 2.21) mg/L, (3.28 ± 0.85) mg/L, (41.67 ± 9.04) ng/L, (176.63 ± 20.15) ng/L respectively in the experimental group, and (50.12 ± 1.67) mg/L, (5.27 ± 0.68) mg/L, (48.65 ± 8.96) ng/L, (194.56 ± 19.45) ng/L respectively in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the content of inflammatory factors between the two groups ( t values were 2.05-4.45, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Multimodal quantitative rehabilitation exercise can improve the physiological function of ankylosing spondylitis patients′spine, reduce the disease activity of patients, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective:To investigate the imaging and clinical characteristics of posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) after liver transplantation in children.Methods:From February 2017 to November 2020, the imaging and clinical data of 17 children with PTLD after liver transplantation confirmed by pathology or clinical diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The site, range, density/signal/echo of the lesions were observed.Results:The mean age at transplantation was 8 (7, 11) months, and 14 patients were younger than 1 year old. The interval between liver transplantation and PTLD diagnosis was 22 (10, 34) months, ranging from 3 to 54 months. The interval was less than 1 year in 6 patients (early onset) and equal or greater than 1 year in 11 patients (late onset). Fifteen patients had Epstein-Barr virus infection. Among the 12 pathologically confirmed PTLD cases, 8 cases were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 3 cases were Burkitt lymphoma, and 1 case was reactive plasma cell hyperplasia. Among the 17 children with PTLD, 8 cases demonstrated involvement of lymph nodes and 16 cases had extranodal involvement. The latter included 15 cases of abdominal involvement. Abdominal sites involved included small intestine in 14 cases, colon in 7 cases, mesentery in 4 cases, kidney in 3 cases, liver in 2 cases, abdominal lymph nodes in 2 cases, peritoneum in 1 case, and stomach in 1 case. The sites of extra-abdominal involvement included lymph nodes in 7 cases, lung in 3 cases, skull in 1 case, brain in 1 case, pleura in 1 case, chest wall in 1 case, and nasopharynx in 1 case. The most common abdominal imaging abnormalities were thickening of the intestinal wall, eccentric mass and dilation of the lumen. Both small intestines and colons could be involved, and the former more commonly. Multiple masses were found in patients with liver and kidney involvement. The most common imaging manifestation of PTLD outside the abdomen was lymph node enlargement, which was found in 7 cases, and the most common was in the neck. The manifestation was shorter diameter of lymph nodes>10 mm, uniform density and signal, with mild enhancement.Conclusions:PTLD can occur months to years after liver transplantation in children, which can affect many parts of the whole body. Extranodal lesions are more than intranodal lesions. Abdominal involvement is most common in PTLD, and the infection rate of EB virus is high. Combined with medical history, EB virus infection status and imaging examination are helpful for early diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of the timing of peripancreatic drainage on the survival outcome of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:This retrospective study included 271 patients with SAP admitted to two tertiary hospitals from January 2015 to December 2019. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ score (APACHEⅡ), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (SOFA), computed tomography (CT) grade, peripancreatic drainage situations, and survival outcome of patients were recorded. Patients were divided into the early and non-early peripancreatic catheter drainage groups (EPCD and non-EPCD). The data were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazard model for propensity score matching (PSM) and stratification.Results:After PSM, the 30-day and 90-day risk of death between the EPCD and non-EPCD groups were significantly different (0.134, 95% CI: 0.029-0.576, P=0.007; 0.166, 95% CI: 0.044-0.631, P=0.008, respectively). Furthermore, stratified analysis revealed significant differences in 30-day and 90-day risk of death between the EPCD and non-EPCD groups when the SOFA score was≥4 or the APACHEⅡ score was ≥8. Conclusions:For patients with SAP with SOFA score ≥4 or APACHEⅡ score≥8, early peripancreatic drainage can reduce the risk of death, but CT grading is not helpful for the decision-making of drainage timing in patients with SAP.
