Objective To observe the effect of anti-Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) treatment on patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and its effect on blood platelet. Methods From April 2006 to April 2008, a total of 31 patients diagnosed as having ITP and H.pylori infection were collected. These patients were given standard antibiotic therapy for H.pylori eradication (omeprazole 20 mg, clarithromycin 0.5 g, and amoxicillin 1.0 g, twice per day for 1 week). The effect of anti-H.pylori treatment was analyzed, and the blood platelets were counted before the treatment and on day 7, 14, and 28 after the treatment. Results Of the 31 ITP patients with H.pylori infection, 21 were cured and 10 were not effective, with the effective rate 67.74 %. Blood platelet increased in the cured group but did not change in the no-effect group. Conclusion Anti-H.pylori treatment could increase the blood platelet, and H.pylori infection may be related to the reduction of blood platelet in ITP patients.

Objective To understand the current situation of doctors and nurses perceptions on doctor-patient relationship and its main influencing factors, and to make recommendations for further healthcare improvement. Methods Based on the survey results of the third-party evaluation of the National Healthcare Improvement Initiative of 136 public tertiary hospitals, we analyzed the doctors' and nurses' perceptions on doctor-patient relationship and the influencing factors. SAS 9.4 software was used to conduct variance test of doctors' and nurses' basic information and multivariate logistic regression analysis of the influencing factors of doctors' and nurses' perceptions on doctor-patient relationship. Results The recognition of doctors and nurses on the statement of "doctor-patient relationship has been getting better", their career identity and hoping children to study medicine varied significantly (P <0.05) with hospital type,age, department, academic rank, and annual income. The main influencing factors were patients' satisfactions and medical liability insurance (OR>1, P<0.05). Another main positive influencing factor was the communication duration between the doctor and outpatient(OR>1,P<0.05). Conclusions It is imperative to protect rights of doctors and nurses by enforcing relevant laws and regulations, and improving existing medical dispute handling mechanism. Other measures to this end include higher pay for medical workers equivalent to their value and career identity;media guidance by the government,which will all help create a better medical environment and doctor-patient relationship.

Objective To study the similarities and differences in brain activation under N-back and DMTS paradigms of working memory. Methods Through searching of BrainMap function database by the combination keywords,a total of 122 articles with 122 experiments ( N-back: 67 experiments,937 sub-jects,900 foci;Delayed Matched to Sample: 55 experiments,806 subjects,872 foci). Maps were analyzed using the FDR PN (P<0. 0001) method based coordinates of the Montreal Neurological Institute ( MNI) space. Results In the combine of the N-back and DMTS paradigms,these regions were activated including the bilateral inferior parietal lobe (Left: -36,-52,44; Right: 38,-52,48) and insula(Left:-34,22,0;Right:34,24,2),the superior frontal gyrus (2,16,50) and inferior frontal gyrus (-44,8,30) of the left brain,and the middle frontal ( 46,36,24) and sub-gyral ( 30,4,56) of the right brain. The N-back paradigm was similar to the above results,whereas the DMTS paradigm only activated the precentral gyrus (-50,8, 34) of the left brain and the right insula ( 34,24,4) . Conclusion The neural circuit of working memory is the frontal-parietal networks. N-back paradigm with the brain activation consists to the neural circuit of work-ing memory. However,DMTS paradigm activates less brain regions and is inconsistent to the neurons of work-ing memory.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of different SF3B1 genotypes in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and its prognostic value.Methods:Totally, 377MDS patients who were initially diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2014 to January 2022 were included in the retrospective analysis.The patients were divided into three different groups according to mutation stcote of SF3B1, including 317 patients with SF3B1 wild type (SF3B1 WT) (214 males and 103 females, 63(49, 71) years old),39 patients with SF3B1 K700E mutation(SF3B1 K700E(17 males and 22 females, 65(52, 73)years old)) and 21 patients with SF3B1 non-K700E mutation(SF3B1 non-K700E)(13 males and 8 females, 67(63, 73) years old). MDS-related 20 gene mutations were detected using targeted sequencing technology; Survival curves were constructed by the Kaplan-Meier method; Cox proportional hazards model was established to evaluate different factors at diagnosis on survival by univariate and multivariate analyses.. Results:Compared with SF3B1 non-K700E patients, SF3B1 K700E patients had a higher median absolute neutrophil count ( P=0.002) and were likely to be in the low/int-1 International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) categories ( P=0.023). A 20-gene targeted sequencing analysis showed that, compared with SF3B1 WT patients, SF3B1 K700E patients were associated with lower frequency of ASXL1 and U2AF1 mutations ( P=0.018 and P=0.003); while compared with SF3B1 non-K700E patients, the frequency of ASXL1 mutation was significantly lower in SF3B1 K700E cases ( P=0.029). Patients with SF3B1 K700E had better overall survival (OS) in comparison with SF3B1 WT and SF3B1 non-K700E in MDS patients ( P<0.001 and P=0.045, respectively). In comparison with SF3B1 WT patients, SF3B1 MUT patients had more favorable OS and progression-free survival (PFS) in MDS without excess blasts ( P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively), but no significant difference was found in MDS with excess blasts ( P>0.05). Compared with SF3B1 WT patients, SF3B1 K700E patients had superior OS and PFS in the int-1 IPSS category ( P=0.010 and P=0.013, respectively). By multivariable analysis, the presence of SF3B1 K700Ewas an independent predictor of superior OS ( HR=0.461,95% CI 0.262-0.811, P=0.007). Conclusion:SF3B1 K700E and SF3B1 non-K700E patients had significantly improved OS in comparison with SF3B1 WT MDS patients. Furthermore, SF3B1 K700E patients were associated with a better OS compared with SF3B1 non-K700E MDS patients. SF3B1 mutation could not overcome the poor prognostic effect of excess blasts, which highlights the importance of the SF3B1 mutation subtype in risk assessment of MDS without excess blasts.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of augmented reality training based on enriched environment on walking dysfunction after stroke. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to June, 2022, 36 stroke patients in the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were randomly divided into control group (n = 18) and experimental group (n = 18). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment. The control group was supplemented with conventional walking training, and the experimental group was supplemented with augmented reality training based on enriched environment, for four weeks. They were assessed with Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), 10-meter walk test (10MWT) and Barthel Index (BI) before and after treatment, and the gait parameter was compared. ResultsNo adverse event occurred during treatment. After treatment, the BBS score, TUGT time, 10MWT speed, BI, gait speed, gait frequency and the proportion of single-leg support on the affected side significantly improved in both groups (|t| > 5.161, P < 0.001). All the above indexes were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.106, P < 0.05), except for BI (t = 1.099, P = 0.282). ConclusionAugmented reality training based on enriched environment could improve the walking function of paitents after stroke, which is better than conventional walking training.

Objective:
To carry out the 4th round of third-party evaluation on the implementation and effect of the 1st year of the 2nd Phase National Healthcare Improvement Initiative(abbreviated as Initiative)since 2015.
Methods:
The 4th round of the evaluation survey adopted the same methods, organization and execution, and technical roadmap as the former three rounds of evaluations.
Results:
The 4th round of evaluation was carried out from 18 March to 9 April, 2019 at 185 public hospitals in 31 provinces(autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government)and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.Facility survey, health professional survey and patient survey were conducted at each of the sample health facilities. A total of 120 782 valid questionnaires were collected from 144 non-psychiatric health facilities, 16 246 valid questionnaires were obtained from 41 psychiatric health facilities, and 252 cases of outstanding departments/hospitals in healthcare improvement were also collected. The average overall scoring of the 12 dimensions to assess Initiative implementation at 144 non-psychiatric health facilities was 84.4%. The overall outpatient satisfaction scoring was 91.1%, 96.7%for the inpatients. The overall inpatient satisfaction(family members inclusive) at 41 psychiatric health facilities was 93%. Areas remaining to be improved include day-surgery, telemedicine and medical social work. Compared with technical services, non-technical care should be further strengthened. The compensation, workload and work environment of the healthcare providers are still to be improved.
Conclusions
The implementation of the Initiative by health facilities has been greatly improved. The percentage of health facilities and patients who had positive perceptions of improved doctor-patient relationship has been increasing. Patient care experiences at public hospitals have been generally improved, and the implementation of promoting traditional Chinese Medicine practices also made progress. However, work satisfaction of healthcare providers was found to be rather low, compared to the high level of patient satisfaction.
