Objective: To explore the effect of P311 microspheres-loaded thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel on the wound healing of full-thickness skin defects in rats. Methods: The method of experimental study was adopted. The polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate microspheres (simple microspheres), P311 microspheres, and bovine serum albumin labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-BSA) microspheres were prepared by water-in-oil emulsification, and then their morphology was observed under a light microscope/inverted fluorescence microscope. Chitosan solution was prepared, chitosan solution and β-glycerol phosphate disodium hydrate were mixed to prepare simple thermosensitive hydrogels, and thermosensitive hydrogels loaded with simple microspheres or P311 microspheres were prepared by adding corresponding substances in simple thermosensitive hydrogels. The morphological changes of the prepared four liquids in the state of tilt was observed at 37 ℃. After being freeze-dried, the micromorphology of the prepared four liquids was observed under a scanning electron microscope. Eighteen 3-4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal group without any treatment, dressing group, chitosan group, hydrogel alone group, simple microspheres-loaded hydrogel group, and P311 microspheres-loaded hydrogel group, which were inflicted with one full-thickness skin defect wound on both sides of the back spine and were dealt correspondingly, with 3 rats in each group. Rats with full-thickness skin defects in the five groups were collected, the wound healing was observed on post injury day (PID) 0 (immediately), 5, 10, and 15, and the wound healing rates on PID 5, 10, and 15 were calculated. The wound and wound margin tissue of rats with full-thickness skin defects in the five groups on PID 15 and normal skin tissue in the same site of rats in normal group were collected, hematoxylin and eosin staining was conducted to observe the histological changes, immunohistochemical staining was performed to observe the expressions of CD31 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and Western blotting was conducted to detect the protein expressions of CD31 and VEGF. The number of samples was all three. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, and Bonferroni correction. Results: Simple microspheres were spherical, with loose and porous surface. The surfaces of P311 microspheres and FITC-BSA microspheres were smooth without pores, and the FITC-BSA microspheres emitted uniform green fluorescence. The diameters of the three microspheres were basically consistent, being 33.1 to 37.7 μm. Compared with chitosan solution and simple thermosensitive hydrogel, the structures of the two microspheres-loaded hydrogels were more stable in the state of tilt at 37 ℃. The two microspheres-loaded hydrogels had denser network structures than those of chitosan solution and simple thermosensitive hydrogel, and in the cross section of which microspheres with a diameter of about 30 μm could be seen. Within PID 15, the wounds of rats in the five groups were healed to different degrees, and the wound healing of rats in P311 microspheres-loaded hydrogel group was the best. On PID 5, 10, and 15, the wound healing rates of rats in dressing group and chitosan group were (26.6±2.4)%, (38.5±3.1)%, (50.9±1.5)%, (47.6±2.0)%, (58.5±3.6)%, and (66.7±4.1)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than (59.3±4.8)%, (87.6±3.2)%, (97.2±1.0)% in P311 microspheres-loaded hydrogel group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The wound healing rates of rats in hydrogel alone group on PID 10 and 15, and in simple microspheres-loaded hydrogel group on PID 15 were (76.0±3.3)%, (84.5±3.6)%, and (88.0±2.6)%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in P311 microspheres-loaded hydrogel group (P<0.05). The epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands could be seen in the normal skin of rats in normal group, without positive expressions of CD31 or VEGF. The wounds of rats in P311 microspheres-loaded hydrogel group on PID 15 were almost completely epithelialized, with more blood vessels, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and positive expressions of CD31 and VEGF in the wounds than those of rats with full-thickness skin defects in the other four groups, and more protein expressions of CD31 and VEGF than those of rats in the other five groups. Conclusions: The P311 microspheres-loaded thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel can release the encapsulated drug slowly, prolong the drug action time, and promote wound healing in rats with full-thickness skin defects by promoting wound angiogenesis and re-epithelialization.

Objective:To explore the performance of the commonly used whole blood C-reactive protein (CRP) detection systems and give related recommendation on the performance requirements of detection systems.Methods:A total of 7 540 venous blood samples from 26 maternal, child and children′s hospitals were collected to conduct this multi-center study on the analytical performance of 5 commonly used whole blood CRP detection systems from March to April in 2019. The blank check, carryover, repeatability, intermediate precision, linearity, sample stability, influence of hematocrit/triglyceride/bilirubin, comparison with SIEMENS specific protein analyzer and trueness were evaluated. The 5 systems included BC-5390CRP autohematology analyzer, AstepPLUS specific protein analyzer, Ottoman-1000 Automated Specific Protein POCT Workstation, i-CHROMA Immunofluorometer equipment Reader and Orion QuikRead go detecting instrument. The 5 systems were labeled as a, b, c, d and e randomly.Results:Within the 5 systems, all values of blank check were less than 1.00 mg/L, the carryovers were lower than 1.00%. The repeatability of different ranges of CRP concentrations including 3.00-10.00, 10.00-30.00 and>30.00 mg/L were less than 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively, and the intermediate precision was less than 10.00%. The linearity correlation coefficients of the 5 systems were all above 0.975, while the slope was within 0.950-1.050. Whole blood samples were stable within 72 hours both at room temperature (18-25 ℃) and refrigerated temperature (2-8 ℃). The CRP results were rarely influenced by high triglyceride or bilirubin, except for the immmunoturbidimetric test based on microparticles coated with anti-human CRP F(ab) 2 fragments. When triglyceride was less than 15.46 mmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. When bilirubin was less than 345.47 μmol/L, the deviation of CRP was less than 10.00%. CRP was more susceptible to Hct on the systems without Hct correction. The deviation of CRP between different Hct dilution concentration and 40% dilution concentration can reach as high as 67.48%. The correlation coefficients ( r) of 5 systems were all more than 0.975 in the range of 0-300.00 mg/L compared with Siemens specific protein analyzer. All systems passed the trueness verification using the samples with specified values of 12.89 and 30.60 mg/L. Conclusion:The performance of 5 systems can basically meet the clinical needs, but it is suggested that the whole blood CRP detection system without automatic Hct correction should be modified manually.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain the subtypes of the clinical hypertension population based on symptoms and to explore the relationship between hypertension and comorbidities. METHODS: The data set was collected from the Chinese medicine (CM) electronic medical records of 33,458 hypertension inpatients in the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between July 2014 and May 2017. Then, a hypertension disease comorbidity network (HDCN) was built to investigate the complicated associations between hypertension and their comorbidities. Moreover, a hypertension patient similarity network (HPSN) was constructed with patients' shared symptoms, and 7 main hypertension patient subgroups were identified from HPSN with a community detection method to exhibit the characteristics of clinical phenotypes and molecular mechanisms. In addition, the significant symptoms, diseases, CM syndromes and pathways of each main patient subgroup were obtained by enrichment analysis. RESULTS: The significant symptoms and diseases of these patient subgroups were associated with different damaged target organs of hypertension. Additionally, the specific phenotypic features (symptoms, diseases, and CM syndromes) were consistent with specific molecular features (pathways) in the same patient subgroup. CONCLUSION The utility and comprehensiveness of disease classification based on community detection of patient networks using shared CM symptom phenotypes showed the importance of hypertension patient subgroups.

Objective:To assess the implementation of injection-related risk management based on WeChat platform for type 2 diabetic patients with the insulin self-injection.Methods:A total of 124 diabetic patients, who would receive insulin therapy by self-injection at home after discharge from the PLA 903 hospital during April 2017 to July 2018, were divided into the control group( n=62)and the study group( n=62). All patients were given routine education on insulin injection during the hospitalization,while the study group( n=62)received additional video and text education based on WeChat platform after discharge. The skill of self-injection and the status of blood glucose control were evaluated in both groups 4 weeks and 8 weeks after discharge, respectively. Results:The insulin injection skill, including skin disinfection [36(58%) vs. 11(18%),χ 2=21.42, P<0.01], exhaust before injection [62(100%) vs. 51(82%),χ 2=12.07, P<0.01], stay 10s after injection [60 (97%) vs. 47(76%),χ 2=11.52, P<0.01], disposal of used needle[49(79%) vs. 18(29%),χ 2=31.20, P<0.01], rotation of injection site [48(77%) vs. 35(56%),χ 2=6.16, P=0.01], insulin storage [62(100%) vs. 57(92%),χ 2=5.21, P=0.02], and the ability of correctly dealing with hypoglycemia [52(84%) vs. 38(61%),χ 2=7.94, P=0.01] in the study group were significantly better than those in the control group after 4 weeks of injection-related risk management. The fasting plasma glucose [(6.41±0.76) vs.(7.19±0.81)mmol/L, t=5.61, P<0.01], glycosylated hemoglobin A1c [(6.71±0.64)% vs. (7.37±0.78)%, t=5.18, P<0.01], incidence of hypoglycemia [6(10%) vs. 15(24%),χ 2=4.64, P=0.03] in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group after 12 weeks of the management. Conclusion:The risk management based on WeChat platform can improve insulin self-injection skill and the ability of dealing with hypoglycemia,also promote effective blood glucose control for diabetes patients.

Objective:To understand the health self-assessment and related influencing factors in the migrant workers who received of physical examination in Shanghai， so as to provide reference for formulating health service policies for migrant workers. Methods:Taking Shanghai "Intelligent Blue Collar" Health Science Popularization Service Station as the investigation site， 8，100 urban workers were surveyed by questionnaire. The questionnaire includes basic information， health self-assessment， basic medical insurance coverage and satisfaction， subjective well-being and so on. Results:There were significant differences between migrant workers and local workers in health self-assessment， two-week disease prevalence rate， and chronic disease prevalence rate（χ²=32.981，P<0.05；χ²=4.554，P<0.05；χ²=86.695，P<0.05）. The differences between migrant workers and local workers were also significant in the basic medical insurance coverage rate and the level of satisfaction （χ²=221.592，P<0.05；χ²=30.950，P<0.05）. There was no significant difference in subjective well-being between these two groups（χ²=8.787，P>0.05）. The health self-assessment of older migrant workers was significantly better than that of new generation migrant workers（β=0.062，P<0.05）， and was significantly worse in female migrant workers than that in male migrant workers（β=-0.120，P<0.05）. The health self-assessment was significantly better in migrant workers with agricultural household registration than that in non-agricultural household registration（β=0.060，P<0.05）. The higher the satisfaction of basic medical insurance，the higher the subjective well-being and the better the health self-assessment（β=0.148，P<0.05；β=0.422，P<0.05）. Conclusion:The health status of migrant workers in Shanghai who received physical examination is better than that of local workers， and the participation rate of basic medical insurance is lower than that of local workers. Age， gender and household registration are the important factors influencing the health self-assessment. Satisfaction with basic medical insurance level and subjective well-being is a significant factor to predict health self-assessment positively . We should further improve the fairness of medical insurance benefits for migrant workers， improve subjective well-being， and ensure the health fairness of the group.
