Objective:To investigate the efficacy, safety and recurrence rate of oral atenolol in the treatment of infantile hemangioma, so as to provide evidence-based medicine basis and reference for clinic.Methods:Search on the following public databases from January 1, 2008 to June 13, 2022: Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, U. S. National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials Registry Platform; China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System(SinoMed), Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database and Wanfang Data. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, studies on oral atenolol for the treatment of infantile hemangioma were selected. The outcome indicators were efficiency (complete response rate), incidence of adverse effects and recurrence rate. The single-arm meta-analysis was performed using R software version 4.1.2. Egger’s test was employed and funnel plots were drawn to assess publication bias in the literature.Results:A total of 14 studies were included, comprising 5 randomized controlled trials, 5 single-arm studies, 3 non-randomized controlled trials, and 1 case-control study. The oral administration of atenolol for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas resulted in an efficacy rate (complete remission rate) of 62% (95% CI 52%~71%). The incidence rate of adverse reactions related to the digestive system was 18% (95% CI 7%~30%), while that related to β2 receptor blockade was 4% (95% CI 2%~6%), central nervous system-related adverse reactions occurred at a rate of 10% (95% CI 5%~16%), the recurrence rate was 5% (95% CI 2%~9%). Egger’s test indicated that there was no significant publication bias in the efficacy rate, central nervous system-related adverse reaction rate, and gastrointestinal-related adverse reaction rate of oral atenolol treatment for infantile hemangiomas ( P>0.05). The sensitivity analysis for the efficacy rate, adverse reaction rate, and recurrence rate of oral atenolol treatment for infantile hemangiomas suggested that the result were stable and reliable. Conclusion:Oral administration of atenolol for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas demonstrates significant efficacy, fewer adverse reactions, and a low recurrence rate, making it a promising candidate as a reasonable alternative to oral propranolol for treating infantile hemangiomas.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of aggregation epidemics of infectious diarrhea induced by norovirus, and to provide the scientific basis for the prevention and control.
Methods:
A descriptive epidemiological analysis of aggregation epidemics events occurred during 2016-2018 in Longhua District of Shenzhen was carried out, with subtypes identified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, Region B and Region C fragment sequence determination.
Results:
There were 34 aggregation epidemic events,including 448 cases, the mean attack rate was 18.26%(448/2 454). The median duration of aggregation epidemic was 3 days. The peak season appeared in autumn and winter, and the peak of epidemic emerged from December 2016 to April 2017. About 91.18% (31/34) of the epidemics occurred in schools and child care centers, and among children aged 3-6 years (78.79%, 353/448). The clinical symptoms were mainly nausea and vomiting (95.77%, 408/426) in children and adolescents but diarrhea in adult group (95.45%, 21/22). The differences between vomiting and diarrhea were both statistically significant in the two age groups (χ2=98.89,99.61,P<0.01). 29 cases were transmitted through interpersonal network, of which 21 cases were found to have unregulated treatment of vomit on campus. The detection rate of biological samples was 49.15% (203/413), all of which were G Ⅱ norovirus. The genotype was mainly GⅡ.P16-G Ⅱ.2(n=49)from November 2016 to April 2017.
Conclusion
Norovirus can cause large-scale outbreaks in child care centers and schools easily. Early standardized patient isolation and proper management of vomit and diarrhea are the key steps in prevention and control measures.

Objective:To explore the changes of estrogen, androgen and progesterone in serum of male patients with primary gouty arthritis (pGA) and their possible role in the pathogenesis of gout.Methods:The serum, clinical data and laboratory parameters of 266 patients with PGA [including 93 patients with acute gout (AG), 118 patients with intermittent gout (IG), 55 patients with chronic gout (CG)] and 129 healthy controls (HC) were collected. The serum estradiol (E 2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T) and E 2/T were detected by CMIA Expression level. SPSS 17.0 statistical software was used for analysis, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for comparison of measurement data between groups, and Spearman correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis between variables. Results:① The level of E 2 and T level in the serum of PGA, AG, IG and CG group was lower than that of the HC group [(30±8) pg/ml, (27±7) pg/ml, (31±8) pg/ml, (34±7) pg/ml, (35±10) pg/ml; F=17.770, P<0.05] and [(4.4±1.6) ng/ml, (3.8±1.4) ng/ml, (4.6±1.4) ng/ml, (5.1±2.0) ng/ml, (5.8±1.9) ng/ml; F=23.314, P<0.05], but there was no significant difference between HC group and CG group ( P>0.05), The serum E 2 and T levels in AG group were lower than those in IG and CG groups [(27±7) pg/ml, (31±8) pg/ml, (34±7) pg/ml; F=17.770, P<0.05] and [(3.8±1.4) ng/ml, (4.6±1.4) ng/ml, (5.1±2.0) ng/ml; F=23.314, P<0.05], andthe serum E 2 level in IG group was lower than that in CG group [(31±8) pg/ml, (34±7) pg/ml; F=17.770, P<0.05). The levels of P and E 2/T in HC group were lower than those in pGA and AG group [(0.24±0.10) ng/ml, (0.27±0.11)ng/ml, (0.30±0.15) ng/ml; F=5.124, P<0.05] and [(0.006 6±0.002 2) ng/ml, (0.007 6±0.003 2) ng/ml, (0.008 0±0.003 8) ng/ml; F=3.787, P<0.05), while those in IG and CG group were lower than those in AG group [(0.25±0.09) ng/ml, (0.26±0.08) ng/ml, (0.30±0.15) ng/ml; F=5.124, P<0.05]; ② Spearman correlation analysis showed that E 2 level in pGA group was positively correlated with T and CysC( r=0.310, P<0.01; r=0.164, P=0.008), negatively correlated with MO ( r=-0.133, P=0.030), P level was positively correlated with MO ( r=0.139, P=0.023), T level was positively correlated with Crea and CysC ( r=0.179, P=0.003; r=0.162, P=0.008), negatively correlated with WBC, GR and MO ( r=-0.140, P=0.022; r=-0.173, P=0.005; r=-0.149, P=0.015), E 2/T was positively correlated with apob1 and Glu ( r=0.131, P=0.032; r=0.140, P=0.023). In AG group, E 2 level was positively correlated with T and Crea ( r=0.234, P=0.024; r=0.245, P=0.018), T level was positively correlated with Crea ( r=0.349, P=0.001), and negatively correlated with apob1 ( r=-0.250, P=0.016), and E 2/T was positively correlated with apob1 ( r=0.276, P=0.007). In IG group, E 2 level was positively correlated with T ( r=0.269, P=0.003), and negatively correlated with MO ( r=-0.183, P=0.048), while P level was positively correlated with MO( r=0.204, P=0.027). Conclusion:The expression of E 2 and T in the peripheral blood serum of gout patients decreases significantly, the expression of P and E 2/T increases significantly, and there is a positive correlation between E 2 and T, as well as the inflammatory and glycolipid metabolism indexes of gout patients, suggesting that estrogen, androgen and progesterone may participate in the pathogenesis of gout by regulating the inflammation and metabolism of gout.

Objective:To study the risk factors and microbial spectrum for infectious complications for patients with biliary tract cancer after major hepatectomy with cholangiojejunostomy.Methods:Enrolled into this study were 78 consecutive patients (57 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, 17 with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and 4 with gallbladder cancer), who underwent major hepatectomy with cholangiojejunostomy at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between September 2010 and March 2019. The clinical data were reviewed using multivariate analysis to find independent risk factors for postoperative infectious complications. Microorganisms isolated from bile and infected sites were determined to study the microbial spectrum.Results:A total of 45(57.7%) patients suffered from postoperative infectious complications. Male sex ( OR=7.765, 95% CI=1.895-31.815, P<0.05) was the independent risk factor, whereas increased preope-rative red blood cell (RBC) ( OR=0.151, 95% CI=0.038-0.592, optimal cut-off value=3.7×10 12/L) and increased total cholesterol (TC) on postoperative day (POD) 1 ( OR=0.227, 95% CI=0.083-0.626, optimal cut-off value=3.5 mmol/L) were protective factors (both P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.805 (95% CI=0.707-0.902, P<0.05). 205 and 230 microorganisms were cultured respectively from 286 and 681 specimens which were collected from pre-/intraoperative bile and potentially infected sites. Staphylococcus, enterococcus, acinetobacter, klebsiella and pseudomonas were the most common pathogens on bile culture. The first 5 most frequently isolated microorganisms from the infected sites were enterococcus, staphylococcus, klebsiella, candida and xanthomonas. Sixteen (61.5%) of 26 patients had at least one pathogen being isolated from the infected sites with the pathogen being previously isolated in bile culture. Conclusions:Male sex were independent risk factors of infectious complications. Increased preoperative RBC and inreased TC on POD were proteetive factors. For patients without a positive bile culture, a third-generation cephalosporin can be considered as a prophylactic antibiotic. It is important to identify high-risk patients and monitor perioperative pathogens actively to prevent and to cure postoperative infectious complications.

Objective To compare the effects of bilateral and non- bilateral frontal pneumocephalus on acute agitation after craniotomy for brain tumor. Methods The clinical data of 406 brain tumor patients who had underwent craniotomy in Maoming Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2014 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into bilateral frontal pneumocephalus group (92 cases) and unilateral frontal pneumocephalus group (314 cases) according to frontal pneumocephalus within 12 hours after operation. Within 24 hours after operation, the sedation-agitation scale (SAS) was evaluated, and SAS≥ 5 scores was defined as acute agitation. Results The incidence of postoperative acute agitation, rate of postoperative sedatives use and postoperative hospital stay in bilateral frontal pneumocephalus group were significantly higher than those in unilateral frontal pneumocephalus group: 23.9% (22/92) vs. 8.6% (27/314), 14.1% (13/92) vs. 3.5% (11/314) and (12.2 ± 2.6) d vs. (8.5 ± 1.6) d, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions Brain tumor patients who had bilateral frontal pneumocephalus after craniotomy are more likely to develop acute agitation.
