ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Jinwei Guben Decoction （金卫固本汤， MJGD） combined with Bailing Capsule （百令胶囊， BC） in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） patients in the stable stage with qi deficiency， blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome， in addition to conventional western medicine treatment. MethodsA total of 102 patients with stable COPD and qi deficiency， blood stasis， and phlegm obstruction syndrome were included in the study. According to the patients'preferences， they were divided into treatment group （49 cases） and control group （53 cases）. The control group received conventional western medicine treatment， while the treatment group was given MJGD （1 dose daily） combined with BC （2.0 g each time， three times a day） additionally. The treatment period was 3 months， and the patients were followed up for 1 year after the treatment. The acute exacerbation frequency （mild， moderate， severe） before treatment， during treatment， at 6-month follow-up， and at 1-year follow-up was compared between groups. Additionally， the lung function indicators such as FEV₁， FEV₁%pred， FVC， and FEV₁/FVC ratio， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores， modified British Medical Research Council （mMRC） dyspnea scale， and the COPD Assessment Test （CAT） scores before and after treatment were compared. A logistic regression model was constructed to analyze the impact of MJGD combined with BC on clinical efficacy. ResultsFour patients dropped out from the treatment group and eight from the control group， leaving 45 patients of each group for statistical analysis. The number of mild and moderate acute exacerbations in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group during the treatment period， at 6-month follow-up and within 1 year of follow-up （P＜0.05） .The number of severe acute exacerbations was only lower in the treatment group than in the control group at 6-month follow-up （P＜0.05）. Compared with that before treatment， the number of acute exacerbations of all degrees in the treatment group was significantly reduced within 1 year of follow-up （P＜0.05），while only the number of mild acute exacerbations in the control group was significantly reduced within 1 year of follow-up （P＜0.05）. The treatment group showed significant improvement in FEV₁ and FEV₁%pred and FEV₁/FEV， while the control group showed a significant decline in FEV₁ and FVC （P＜0.05）. After treatment， both groups showed significant reductions in TCM syndrome scores， including coughing， sputum， wheezing， chest tightness， shortness of breath， and fatigue， as well as mMRC and CAT scores （P＜0.05）， with the treatment group having significantly lower scores than the control group （P＜0.05）. The overall clinical effective rate of in the treatment group was 93.33% （42/45）， significantly higher than that of the control group， 75.56% （34/45， P＜0.05）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the use of MJGD combined with BC （OR = 4.68， 95%CI： 1.15 - 19.09， P = 0.03） was positively correlated with clinical efficacy. ConclusionsIn addition to conventional western medicine treatment， the combination of MJGD and BC can reduce the frequency of acute exacerbations， delay the decline of lung function， improve clinical symptoms， and significantly enhance the clinical efficacy in patients with stable COPD and qi deficiency， blood stasis， and phlegm obstruction syndrome.

Objective To study the spatial distribution of the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province and its influencing factors, so as to improve the theoretical basis for scientific development of tuberculosis prevention and control measures in the future. Methods The data of reported incidence of tuberculosis and related influencing factors in various counties and districts of Hubei Province in 2020 were collected. Global Moran's I index, hotspot analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR) model analysis were used to calculate the spatial autocorrelation of the incidence of tuberculosis, and to analyze the influencing factors affecting the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Results There were obvious regional differences in the space distribution of the incidence rate of tuberculosis. Hot spot analysis showed positive spatial correlation and obvious clustering. The GWR model (AICc=784.251) in this study had higher AICc value compared to the ordinary least squares regression (OLS) model (AICc=804.2585). The GWR model showed that the increase in the proportion of the population aged 65 and above and the proportion of the ethnic minority population had a significant promoting effect on the increase of the incidence rate of tuberculosis, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity. The effect of PM_2.5 concentration on the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis varied in different regions, and the degree of effect was also different. Conclusion The proportion of people aged 65 and above and the proportion of ethnic minorities may significantly influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. The effect of PM_2.5 concentration varies in different regions, so targeted measures should be formulated according to the situation in different regions.

BackgroundPatients with depressive disorder commonly experience sleep disturbances. Previous studies have indicated that group exercise therapy is beneficial in alleviating depressive symptom among patients with depressive disorder. However， there is a lack of research on the impact of group exercise therapy on improving sleep quality in patients with depressive disorder. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of group exercise therapy on sleep quality in patients with acute mild-to-moderate depression during the acute phase， so as to provide references for clinically improving the sleep quality of patients with mild to moderate depressive disorder during the acute phase. MethodsFrom December 2018 to July 2021， patients with mild-to-moderate depressive disorder during the acute phase （n=40）， who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder according to International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） ，were recruited from the outpatient clinic of Beijing Anding Hospital， Capital Medical University. All participants underwent an 8-week moderate-intensity group exercise therapy program comprising three sessions per week， each lasting 60 minutes. Assessments were conducted at baseline and after 2， 4， 6 and 8 weeks of intervention using Visual Analogue Scale （VAS）， Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17） and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）. The reduction scores at each time point relative to baseline treated as the dependent variables， time as the independent variable， baseline scores as covariates， with time as a fixed effect and baseline values as random effects. Data were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. ResultsThe PSQI scores of patients at baseline， 2， 4 ， 6 and 8 weeks after the intervention were （10.62±5.12）， （9.07±3.58）， （7.39±3.66）， （6.54±3.84） and （5.50±3.41）， respectively. The results of linear mixed effect model analysis showed that after 2， 4， 6 and 8 weeks of intervention， patients scored lower than baseline， with statistically significant differences observed in all cases （P<0.01）. The HAMD-17 sleep fcctor scores at baseline， 2， 4， 6 and 8 weeks were （2.25±1.56）， （2.06±1.49）， （1.36±1.27）， （1.22±1.46） and （0.97±1.34）， respectively. The results of linear mixed effects model analysis showed that the HAMD-17 sleep factor scores of 4， 6 and 8 weeks of intervention were lower than that of baseline， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The VAS scores at baseline， 2， 4， 6 and 8 weeks after the intervention were （3.18±2.17）， （4.74±2.22）， （6.01±2.31）， （6.54±2.16） and （7.90±1.64）， respectively. The results of linear mixed effect model analysis showed that VAS scores of 2， 4， 6 and 8 weeks of intervention were higher than baseline，and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.01）. ConclusionGroup exercise therapy may improve sleep quality and alleviate depressive symptoms in patients with mild-to-moderate depressive disorder during the acute phase. ［Funded by National Key Research and Development Plan Project （number， 2016YFC1307200）； Beijing Municipal Hospital Scientific Research and Cultivation Plan Project （number， PX2024070）］

Objective To retrospectively analyze the prevention and control effect and epidemic characteristics of elderly tuberculosis in Hubei Province from 2016 to 2020, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of elderly tuberculosis in Hubei Province． Methods The data on tuberculosis patients aged 60 and above who registered their current address in Hubei Province from 2016 to 2020 were collected and analyzed. The registration rates and composition ratios were analyzed using χ² test and χ² test for trend. Results A total of 135 976 tuberculosis patients were reported in Hubei from 2016 to 2020. The annual average registration rate of elderly tuberculosis among the elderly registered residence population (referring to the registration rate of elderly registered residence population aged 60 and above as the denominator, and tuberculosis patients aged 60 and above as the numerator) was 263.51/100 000. The highest rate was 300.02/100,000 in 2017, and the lowest was 188.19/100,000 in 2020 (χ²=70,227.603, P<0.001). In terms of composition, the average annual proportion of tuberculosis patients in the 60-70 years old group was 59.60%, which decreased year by year (χ²_trend=40.448，P<0.001 ). The average annual proportion of males was 73.35%, which was significantly higher than that of females (26.65%). The average annual proportion of farmers was 62.03%. From the perspective of case management, the annual average proportion of major epidemic online reports was 85.17%. The classification of cases was mainly based on clinical diagnosis, accounting for 48.33% annually and showing a decreasing trend year by year (χ²_trend=740.911, P<0.001). The proportion of confirmed cases was 25.08%, which showed an increasing trend (χ²_trend=380.557, P<0.001). From 2016 to 2019, the delay rate of diagnosis and treatment of elder tuberculosis patients was 49.42% (67 876/135 967), and the delay rate decreased year by year (χ²_trend=323.764, P<0.001). Conclusion The elderly population with pulmonary tuberculosis in Hubei Province shows a downward trend. It is necessary to focus on the efforts of designated hospitals to proactively identify cases, increase the proportion of confirmed cases, maintain a high tracking in place, reduce medical delays, and ensure the effectiveness of tuberculosis prevention and treatment for the elderly.

Objective To analyze the perioperative outcomes of cardiac valve surgery in patients with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods The perioperative clinical data of patients receiving heart valve replacement in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from November 2022 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether the patients were infected with SARS-CoV-2, they were divided into a non-infected group and an asymptomatic group. The perioperative data of the patients were compared between the two groups, and the effect of asymptomatic infection on the result of heart valve replacement surgery was analyzed. Results A total of 66 patients were enrolled including 36 males and 30 females with a mean age of 58.0±11.1 years. There were 51 patients in the non-infected group and 15 patients in the asymtomatic group. There were 2 patients of mitral valve replacement, 20 patients of aortic valve replacement, 1 patient of double valve replacement, 3 patients of aortic valve replacement with tricuspid valvoplasty, 22 patients of mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valvoplasty, 18 patients of double valve replacement and tricuspid valvoplasty. Asymptomatic infected patients received more emergency surgery than uninfected patients (26.7% vs. 0.0%, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in the duration of extracorporeal circulation, aortic occlusion, mechanical ventilation time after the surgery, ICU stay, postoperative drainage volume, or postoperative complications between the two groups. Conclusion Perioperative results of cardiac valve surgery in patients with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and non-infection are almost the same.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of perfusion imaging parameters of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) for the poor prognosis in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods A total of 118 patients with ONFH who were treated in a hospital from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects. All patients received 3D printing guide plate assisted with curettage of necrotic focus combined with ceramic rod implantation. According to the one-year follow-up results, patients were divided into a good prognosis group (n＝94) and a poor prognosis group (n＝24). Baseline data and MSCT perfusion imaging parameters (mean transit time [MTT], blood flow [BF], blood volume [BV]) were compared between the two groups. The correlations of MTT, BF and BV with the severity and prognosis of ONFH were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of MSCT perfusion imaging parameters for the prognosis of ONFH patients. Results There were significant differences in the necrosis site, necrosis volume and Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging between the two groups (P＜0.05). The MTT was shorter, BF was less and BV was less in the poor prognosis group than those in the good prognosis group (P＜0.001). MTT, BF and BV were negatively correlated with necrosis volume and ARCO staging (P＜0.001). Decreased MTT, BF, and BV were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ONFH patients (P＜0.001). The AUC of the combination of these three parameters for predicting poor prognosis was 0.918, which was significantly better than that of independent parameter (P＜0.05). Conclusions The parameters of MSCT perfusion imaging are closely related to the condition and prognosis of ONFH patients, and are help of predicting the prognosis of ONFH patients.

Objective To investigate the accuracy and application value of the Tada formula in evalua-ting the meningioma volume based on 3D reconstruction technology.Methods The thin-slice magnetic reso-nance images of 297 patients with meningioma treated in the neurosurgery department of 940 Hospital of PLA Joint logistics Support Force from January 2014 to May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The meningioma volume was evaluated by the Tada formula method and three-dimensional reconstruction method respectively.The accuracy of the evaluation of meningeal tumor volume by the Tada formula was analyzed by grouping sta-tistics.Results In the whole sample and the concentrated sample,the obtained meningioma total volumes had no statistical difference between the two methods(P＞0.05),the Spearman correlation coefficients were 0.995 and 0.993 respectively,and the intragroup correlation coefficients(ICC)were 0.992 and 0.989,respec-tively.In the Bland-Altman plot,most of the data points were within the limit of uniformity.Compared with different groups,the Tada formula had a slightly lower accuracy in the volume assessment of meningiomas with higher degree of irregularity,and a better accuracy in the volume assessment of supratentorial meningio-mas than subtentorial meningiomas.Conclusion The Tada formula could accurately evaluate the volume of meningioma,and it could be used as a preliminary method to evaluate meningioma volume in clinic
