Objective:
To explore the correlation and lag effects of environmental factors on pediatric respiratory disease visits at hospital, so as to provide scientific basis for disease prediction and optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
Data from 503 889 pediatric respiratory disease outpatient and emergency visits a central hospital in Minhang District of Shanghai between 2017 and 2019, along with concurrent meteorological data were collected. A distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) was constructed to explore the specific relationship between pediatric respiratory disease consultations and various environmental factors and to quantify the cumulative lag effects of environmental factors on respiratory disease consultations.
Results:
Among the environmental factors, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) were associated with pediatric respiratory disease visits. After adjusting for temperature, PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations did not show significant immediate or lag effects. The relative risk (RR) of pediatric respiratory disease visits increased with rising NO 2 concentrations. When NO 2 concentration ≥55 μg/m 3, significant immediate and lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.05, 1.13, 1.17, and 1.21( P <0.05). The RR values showed an inverted “U” shaped relationship with SO 2 concentrations. When SO 2 concentration ≥5 μg/m 3, significant lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.03 , 1.03, and 1.04 ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 increase the risk of pediatric respiratory disease visits, with observable lag effects.

Based on the resutls of literature review and interviews of experts, two rounds of Delphi surveys were conducted. The mean, importance ratio, coefficient of variation and coordination coefficient were used for assessment of survey from multiple perspectives, and finally form a framework model of factors affecting the efficacy of Tuina therapy. A total of 37 experts were selected for questionnaire surveys, the positive coefficients of experts' participatation in the first round and second round were 92.5% and 80.0%, respectively. The overall coordination coefficient in the second round is 0.68. The items were included into the consensus meeting if the importance ratio of items were equal to and more than 80%. After the expert consensus meeting, 22 items were included to form a framework model of factors affecting the efficacy of Tuina therapy, and summarized as 5 major influencing factors, including diagnostic factors, treatment factors, prognostic factors, patient factors, and doctor-patient communication. This framework can guide and help young Tuina practitioners to improve clinical efficacy. It is also clearly pointed out that the effect of Tuina for pain is not only related to disease diagnosis or manipulation, but also related to home exercise, health care, and doctor-patient communication.

OBJECTIVE To explore the intestinal absorption characteristics of saikosaponins. METHODS Based on everted intestinal sac model, using accumulative absorption amount (Q) and absorption rate constant (Ka) as indexes, UHPLC-MS/MS technique as a method, the absorption of saikosaponin A, B2, C, D and F from total saponins of Bupleurum chinense (8 g/mL, by crude drug) in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum was detected. RESULTS The correlation coefficients (r) of the regression equations for the absorption of saikosaponins A, B2, C and F in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum were all higher than 0.95, while the r of saikosaponin D in the above intestinal segments was lower than 0.95; compared with the absorption of the same composition in the duodenum, the Q and Ka of saikosaponin A and C circulating in jejunum and ileum for 120 min, as well as the Q and Ka of saikosaponin F circulating in the ileum for 120 min were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Saikosaponin A and the other 4 saikosaponins are all absorbed in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum; among them, saikosaponin A, B2, C and F are linearly absorbed, which conforms to the zero-order absorption characteristics, but saikosaponin D shows non- linear absorption.

Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2023;40(1):25-28
Objective This study aimed to analyze the difference of clinical characteristics and risk factors for poor outcome between young patients and senior patients with spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage. Methods This was a retrospective study.The patients with spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage who presented to the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2013 to January 2021 were enrolled in this study.They were divided into two groups:Youth group (18-59 years old) and Senior group (60-90 years old).General information and clinical data were collected.Univariate analysis was used to compare the clinical characteristics of the two groups,and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Results A total of 202 eligible patients were enrolled in this study,including 136 patients in the Youth group and 66 patients in the Senior group.Univariate analysis of the clinical data from the two groups demonstrated that the prevalence of poor outcome,the proportion of male patients,coma on admission,surgery operation,complicated pneumonia and the average NIHSS score,volume of hematoma,DBP,TG were significantly higher in the Youth group than the Senior group (P<0.05).The average GCS score was remarkably lower in the Youth group(P<0.05).Early coma,low GCS score,high NIHSS score,large volume of hematoma,poor glycemic control,complicated pneumonia and Acinetobacter baumannii infection were risk factors for poor prognosis of both group.Multivariate logistic regression showed that low GCS score was an independent predictor for poor prognosis of both group. Conclusion Young patients with spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage had worse prognosis than elderly patients.Avoiding or effective control of risk factors might ameliorate the final outcome.

Objective:To investigate the effect of preoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) on right ventricular function in patients with heart transplantation(HTx) one year after surgery.Methods:A total of 120 patients who underwent HTx in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively recruited.According to the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) obtained by preoperative right heart catheterization, the research subjects were divided into the pulmonary hypertension group (PH group, n=81) and without pulmonary hypertension group (NPH group, n=39). Conventional echocardiographic indices of right ventricular function such as right ventricular area change (RV-FAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity (S′), and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) strain parameters including right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS), right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RV-FWLS) were obtained to assess the right ventricular function of grafted hearts. The echocardiographic parameters one year after the operation of the two groups were analyzed to compare the differences in right ventricular function and their correlation with preoperative mPAP. Results:The grafted heart RV-GLS and RV-FWLS were significantly decreased in the PH group (all P<0.01), while RV-FAC, TAPSE, and S′ were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). RV-FWLS and RV-GLS correlated with preoperative hemodynamic parameter mPAP( rs=-0.46, -0.54; all P<0.05)while RV-FAC, TAPSE, and S′ were not significantly correlated with mPAP (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative PH correlates with right ventricular function in HTx patients 1 year after the operation. The absolute values of RV-FWLS and RV-GLS in HTx patients with preoperative PH decrease 1 year after the operation. 2D-STI is more sensitive than conventional echocardiography to monitor the changes in right ventricular function in HTx patients after the operation.

Posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) is caused by the infarction of the blood supply area of vertebrobasilar artery system, accounting for about 20% of all ischemic strokes. The clinical manifestations of PCIS are different and usually lack specificity. The commonly used pre-hospital stroke scale can not fully reflect signs and symptoms of PCIS, and even imaging examination is not easy to detect PCIS. As a result, it is difficult to correctly identify PCIS in the early stage in emergency settings, and the rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are significantly higher than those of the anterior circulation ischemic stroke. Early and correct identification of PCIS is of great significance to improve the prognosis of patients. By summarizing the relevant literature at home and abroad, this article discusses the diagnostic error factors of PCIS in emergency room from different angles, and summarizes the strategies and methods to improve the speed and accuracy of PCIS recognition and early management.
