Objective To investigate the depressive state of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and to analyze the correlation of depressive state with autonomic dysfunction. Methods A total of 327 patients with PD in the hospital were selected from March 2022 to March 2024. The depressive state was evaluated by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). The autonomic nerve function was assessed using the Scale for Outcomes in PD for Autonomic Symptoms (SCOPA-AUT) and heart rate variability [standard deviation of sinus RR interval (SDNN), standard deviation of average sinus RR interval (SDANN), and percentage of successive NN interval differences above 50 ms (pNN50)]. According to the positive depression (HAMD>20 points), the patients were divided into a depression group and a non-depression group. The clinical data and autonomic nerve function indicators were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between depressive state and autonomic dysfunction in PD patients. Results The positive rate of depression in patients with PD was 31.19%. There were 102 patients in the depression group and 225 patients in the non-depression group. The years of education and the proportion of mild Hoehn-Yahr stage (H-Y stage) in the depression group were lower than those in the non-depression group, while the disease course was longer, and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) II score and UPDRS III score were higher than those in the non-depression group (P<0.05). The SCOPA-AUT score in the depression group was higher while the SDNN, SDANN and pNN50 were lower compared to the non-depression group (P<0.05). HAMD score was positively correlated with SCOPA-AUT score (r=0.685), and was negatively correlated with SDNN, SDANN and pNN50 (r=-0.578, -0.685, and -0.439) (P<0.05). Conclusion Depression is a common state among patients with PD, and its level is positively correlated with the severity of autonomic dysfunction in patients.

Guided by the turbidity toxin theory， it is believed that the key pathogenesis of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome is the obstruction of turbidity toxin and the disruption of intestinal function. Treatment is based on the principles of dispelling turbidity toxin and promoting intestinal function. The clinical patterns can be divided into three types， turbidity toxin heat accumulation pattern， turbidity toxin combined with liver depression and qi stagnation pattern， and turbidity toxin combined with qi and yin deficiency pattern. The treatment can respectively use self-prescribed Tongfu Jiangzhuo Formula （通腑降浊方） to clear heat and unblock the bowels， direct the turbid downward and resolve toxins； use self-prescribed Shugan Jiangzhuo Formula （疏肝降浊方） to soothe the liver and move qi， direct the turbid downward and resolve toxins； use self-prescribed Mazhi Jiangzhuo Formula （麻枳降浊方） to boost qi and nourish yin， moisten the intestines to remove turbidity and resolve toxins.

Objective:To understand the current status of health management cognition and healthcare behaviors of community residents in Shanghai, and to analyze their related influencing factors, in order to promote the optimization of proactive health-oriented health management strategies.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From February to May 2023, 1-4 community health service centers were randomly selected from each administrative district in Shanghai by stratified random sampling using the random number table method. Ultimately, 28 community health service centers were selected as research sites. The research team then used convenience sampling method to select at least 50 patients as research subjects from those visiting each selected center. A total of 1 436 community residents were included in this study in the form of on-site completion of questionnaire stars, and the study covered the residents′ level of health management cognition, chronic disease management, intention to seek medical care, physical examination behavior, and handling of abnormal values. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the correlation between health management cognition and medical consultation behavior and their influencing factors.Results:The results of the health management awareness survey showed that 827 residents (57.6%) had a relatively high level of awareness. Among the 755 residents (52.6%) with chronic diseases, the proportion of self-assessed stable control was significantly higher in the high-cognition group (318 (76.0%)) than that in the low-cognition group (223 (66.2%)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=9.01, P=0.003). Multiple regression analysis showed that females ( OR=1.293, 95% CI: 1.028-1.627),≤44 years old and 45-59 years old ( OR=2.328, 95% CI: 1.648-2.328; OR=1.351, 95% CI: 1.035-1.763), bachelor′s degree or above ( OR=1.784, 95% CI: 1.256-2.534), living in suburban area ( OR=1.577, 95% CI: 1.235-2.014), use of employee health insurance and resident health insurance ( OR=2.294, 95% CI: 1.629-3.232; OR=1.628, 95% CI: 1.149-2.306), suffering from a chronic disease ( OR=3.110, 95% CI: 1.918-5.042), and having a contracted family doctor ( OR=1.870, 95% CI: 1.431-2.442) were all positive correlation with health management perception(all P<0.05). In terms of health care behavior, 908 (63.2%) residents showed a high active intention to seek medical care, and 906 (63.1%) and 796 (55.4%) residents showed active participation in medical check-ups and timely handling of medical check-up abnormal values, respectively. Residents in the high awareness group were significantly better than those in the low awareness group in terms of intention to seek medical care ( χ2=33.26), mode of medical checkups ( χ2=110.71), frequency of medical checkups ( χ2=45.37), and the way of dealing with abnormal values after medical checkups ( χ2=93.14), with the difference being statistically significant(all P<0.05). The results of linear regression analysis of the factors influencing the medical behavior of community residents showed that age≤44 and 45-59 ( B=0.479, 0.167), high school and specialist versus bachelor′s degree and above ( B=0.465, 0.739), use of employee medical insurance and residents′ health insurance ( B=0.604, 0.420), the number of current chronic diseases 1 ( B=0.919) and contracted family doctor ( B=0.134) of community residents′ health care behaviors are better (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of community residents′ health management cognition needs to be improved, and high health management cognition can significantly promote proactive healthcare-seeking behavior. However, residents′ medical behavior is still influenced by multidimensional factors. Signing a contract with a family doctor is significantly associated with high cognition and quality healthcare behaviors.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and toxicity of blinatumomab in the first-line and second-line treatment of pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).Methods:A multi-center retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze clinical data from 323 pediatric B-ALL patients treated with blinatumomab across 14 hospitals in China from May 2021 to July 2023. Patients were divided into four groups based on the treatment phase and disease status when blinatumomab was used: relapsed/refractory group, post-consolidation minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive group, early MRD-positive group, and MRD-negative group. Blinatumomab for the relapsed/refractory group was considered as second-line treatment, while the other 3 groups as first-line treatment. The MRD negativity rate after treatment, the survival rates and the incidence of severe adverse events were compared across these groups. Patients who received blinatumomab for more than 7 days were included in the efficacy analysis. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-Rank test was used to compare the survival rates among groups.Results:Among the 323 patients, 191 (59.1%) were male, with the age of 6.2 (3.9, 10.5) years. There were 117 patients in the relapsed/refractory group, 62 cases in the post-consolidation MRD-positive group, 43 cases in the early MRD-positive group, and 101 cases in the MRD negative group. In the relapsed/refractory group, the complete remission rate and MRD negativity rate after one course of blinatumomab were 71.4% (35/49) and 81.5% (75/92) for the 49 children without complete remission and the 92 children with flow cytometry-positive MRD, respectively. In the post-consolidation MRD-positive group, the MRD negativity rates after one course of blinatumomab were 100.0% (27/27), 12/16 and 9/19 for patients with MRD positivity detected by flow cytometry, polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, respectively. In the early MRD-positive group, the MRD negativity rates were 96.7% (29/30) and 9/9 for flow cytometry and next-generation sequencing, respectively. The 2-year overall survival rate and event-free survival rate for the 319 children evaluable for efficacy were (90.6±1.7)% and (87.6±1.9)%, respectively, with the relapsed/refractory group showing significantly lower overall survival rates and event-free survival rate compared to the other groups ( χ2=21.40, 26.21,both P<0.001). Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 128 cases (39.6%), with hematological toxicity observed in 101 cases, while cytokine release syndrome (CRS), infection, and neurotoxicity occurred in 11, 26 and 8 cases, respectively. In addition, there were statistically significant differences in the grade 3 or higher CRS among the four groups ( χ2=8.03, P<0.05). Conclusion:Blinatumomab can clear MRD more effectively and achieve superior survival outcomes when used as first-line treatment for pediatric B-ALL, with less CRS.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)is a systemic disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV).Chemokine(C-C motif)ligand 3(CCL3),as a vital member of the chemokine family,plays an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of AIDS.In the context of AIDS,CCL3 exerts significant antiviral and immunomodulatory effects by preventing HIV entry into target cells,activating immune cells to enhance antiviral capabilities,and modulating inflammatory responses,thereby influencing disease progression.Numerous studies have demonstrated that CCL3 gene copy number,specific T-cell responses,CCL3 polymorphisms,and the signaling pathways it participates in all influence the development of HIV and viral load.This article comprehensively reviews the multifaceted roles of CCL3 in AIDS,including its ability to block HIV-1 entry into immune cells,inducing the expression of antiviral proteins to inhibit viral replication,as well as the influence of its polymorphisms and alleles on HIV infection and disease progression,aiming to provide novel theoretical support for AIDS prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between transabdominal bowel ultrasongraphy (TBUS) parameters and disease activity of ulcerative colitis (UC).Methods:The results of TBUS, endoscopy and laboratory tests of 68 UC patients (108 examinations) who visited the Department of Gastroenterology of the Second Hospital (Eastern Campus) of Hebei Medical University From January 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to Mayo endoscopic score (MES), there were 10 cases of remission (MES=0) and 98 cases of active phase (MES>0); patients in active phase further classified into 16 cases of mild (MES=1), 19 cases of moderate (MES=2), and 63 cases of severe (MES=3). The TAUS parameters were compared between patients in remission and active phases. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the TBUS parameters including bowel wall thickness (BWT), Limberg score, wall layer stratification, fat wrapping and endoscopic activity score, laboratory inflammatory indicators. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was applied to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the TBUS parameters and laboratory inflammatory indicators in identifying remission under endoscopy. Independent sample t-test and Fisher′s exact probability method were used to compare the two groups. Results:The BWT of patients in remission was significantly thinner than that of patients in active phase ((2.99±0.41) mm vs. (5.66±1.57) mm, t=-5.34, P<0.001). The proportions of patients in remisson with Limberg score ≤2, normal wall layer stratification, and absence of fat wrapping were significantly higher than those of patients in active phase (10/10 vs. 34/98, 10/10 vs. 48/98, 10/10 vs. 41/98, Fisher′s exact test, P<0.001, =0.002, =0.001). BWT, Limberg score, wall layer stratification, and fat wrapping were positively correlated with MES ( r=0.676, 0.677, 0.441, and 0.493, all P<0.001). BWT and Limberg score were moderate positively correlated with C-hypersensitive reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and fecal calprotectin (BWT: r=0.561, 0.420 and 0.458, all P<0.001; Limberg score: r=0.576, 0.469 and 0.403, all P<0.001), and were negatively correlated with serum albumin and hemoglobin (BWT: r=-0.604 and -0.453, both P<0.001; Limberg score: r=-0.573 and -0.532, both P<0.001). The results of ROC analysis showed that BWT achieved the best predictive efficacy in identifying endoscopic remission, and the best cut-off value was 3.45 mm (area under the curve was 0.972, 95% confidence interval: 0.944 to 1.000, P<0.001), with a sensitivity of 93.9% and specificity of 100.0%. Conclusions:TBUS parameters can accurately reflect disease activity in UC. It is a powerful tool for UC monitoring. The BWT<3.45 mm is the best cut-off value in prediction of endoscopic remission.

Objective:To investigate the hospitalization utilization of pneumoconiosis patients and its influencing factors in a northwestern city, and to provide theoretical basis for formulating service policies for pneumoconiosis patients.Methods:From March to October 2021. Existing living pneumoconiosis patients in kashgar were selected as the research objects. The "Survey Questionnaire on Medical Behaviors and Influencing Factors of Pneumoconiosis Patients" developed by the National Institute of Occupational Health and Poison Control of China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was used to collect pneumoconiosis patients infomations from March to October 2021. This study investigated the demographic characteristics of pneumoconiosis patients, the types and stages of pneumoconiosis, as well as hospitalization in the past year, reasons for hospitalization, treatment measures, reasons for discharge. Additionally, it examined factors influencing medical behaviors, including medical insurance reimbursement, work-related injury insurance, and compensation situations.Logistics regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of hospitalization utilization.Results:The average age of the pneumoconiosis patients was elder with the age of 64.8. 86.7% (156/178) of them were retired, 75.8% (135/178) of them relied primarily on pensions for their income. The main types of pneumoconiosis were silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis with the proportion of 57.3% (102/178) and 24.2% (43/178). 67.4% of them were stage I. The hospitalization rate in the year prior to the survey was 37.1%. The factors that promoted hospitalization were pension as the main source of income, pneumoconiosis in stage II, silicosis as the pneumoconiosis type, suffering joint pain, with two OR more other lung diseases (tuberculosis, cor pulmonale, COPD, pulmonary infection, bulla or pneumothorax, lung cancer, or mesothelioma) ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The hospitalization rate of pneumoconiosis patients in the previous year was low. It is mainly influenced by the patient's economic income, the duration of pneumoconiosis, and the presence of comorbidities.
