Objective To investigate the characteristics of clinical cellular immunity and its relationship with prognosis in elderly patients with severe infection caused by Omicron variant.Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with Omicron variant infection admitted to the geriatric Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from December 2022 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into 22 survival cases and 31 death cases for comparison between the two groups.Logistic analysis is adopted to define the omicron variants of elderly severe infections prognostic factors and construct the ROC curve.Results Mu-ltivariate logistic analysis revealed that the independent risk factors were elevated IL-6(P = 0.043)and decreased absolute T lymphocyte count(P = 0.011).AUC value of ROC of IL-6,absolute T lymphocyte count and IL-6 combined with absolute T lymphocyte count was 0.818,0.796 and 0.887.Conclusion Elevated IL-6 and decreased absolute T lymphocyte count are independent risk factors for elderly severe patients with Omicron variant infections.

Objective To explore the public's cognition and attitude towards general medicine,general practitioners,and pre-hospital first-aid knowledge in Ludian County,Yunnan Province,to find out the training and learning methods that are more acceptable to the public for this kind of related knowledge,and to propose targeted solutions.Methods A complete random sampling survey was conducted among the nucleic acid collection office at the gate of the vegetable market from October 15,2022,to December 30,2022,and the outpatient clinic of Wenping Street Health Center from January 1,2023,to February 28,2023,by using electronic questionnaire and paper questionnaire.Results Nearly 50%of the people in Ludian County of Yunnan Province lack the knowledge of general medicine and pre-hospital emergency care,especially the knowledge of electrical defibrillation.People with higher education and the medical profession have a higher understanding of general medicine,and people with a higher understanding of general medicine are more willing to participate in pre-hospital emergency care.The average Ridit value is:very familiar with general medicine(0.774)>Knowledge of some general practices(0.565)>Never heard of general practice(0.400).The higher education level and the more comprehensive understanding of general medicine had a positive impact on participation in pre-hospital emergency care,with B values of 0.624 and 0.619,OR 95%CI of 1.867(1.544~2.257)and 1.857(1.298~2.657),respectively.Taking medical staff as a reference,the B value of medical students was = 0.942,P = 0.234,the difference was not significant,and the B value of non-medical professional population was all less than 0,the effect is negative.In addition,most people have a positive attitude towards learning pre-hospital first aid,and more than 70%of people are willing to learn and train related knowledge of pre-hospital first aid.Conclusions People in urban areas of Ludian County,Yunnan Province have poor understanding of general practice,low recognition of general practitioners,low demand for general practitioners,and lack of awareness of the importance of pre-hospital emergency treatment.Because of the cognitive differences among different groups,it is necessary to conduct specific training for different groups.

ObjectiveTo observe and compare the intervention effect of modified Cangfu Daotantang on glucose and lipid metabolism in simple obese children with phlegm dampness and stagnation. MethodA total of 60 children with simple obesity were randomly divided into two groups according to the simple randomization method of the random number table. The odd number was included in the test group, and the even number was included in the basic treatment group, with 30 cases in each group. On the basis of signing the informed consent notice, the treatment group was given modified Cangfu Daotantang combined with basic treatment, while the control group was only given basic treatment. After three months of treatment, the body mass index (BMI), glucose and lipid metabolism level [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)], the change in the total score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes, and the effective rate of treatment were observed and compared. ResultAfter treatment, the BMI of the observation group and the control group decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the BMI level in the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C in the observation group and the control group decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C in the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05). In addition, the level of TC in the observation group improved significantly compared with that in the control group (P<0.01). The levels of FPG, FINS, and HOMA-IR in the observation group and the control group were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, compared with the control group, the levels of FPG, FINS, and HOMA-IR in the observation group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The level of FPG in the observation group was significantly improved compared with that in the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the total score of TCM syndromes in the two groups decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the total score of TCM syndromes in the observation group was lower (P<0.01). After treatment, the total effective rate of treatment was 86.67% (26/30) in the observation group and 73.33% (22/30) in the control group. By rank sum test, the total effective rate of the observation group was better than that of the control group (Z=-2.100, P<0.05). ConclusionModified Cangfu Daotantang combined with basic treatment can effectively reduce the BMI of obese children and improve their glucose and lipid metabolism. It has good clinical effects and high clinical application value, which is worth further in-depth research and promotion.
