Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

ObjectiveTo explore the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of a Jiao'ai decoction (JAD) in treating premature ovarian failure. Specifically, we evaluated the receptor for advanced glycation end (RAGE) products pathway, metabolic disorders, and intestinal flora dysbiosis.MethodsForty female rats with normal estrous cycles were randomly divided into five groups: control, model, estradiol, low-dose JAD, and high-dose JAD, with 8 rats in each. Except for the control group, the rats in other groups were injected intraperitoneally with cisplatin for 8 days (1.5 mg/kg) to establish a premature ovarian failure model. Starting on the fifth day of cisplatin injections, the estradiol, low-dose JAD, and high-dose JAD groups were administered corresponding drugs for 21 days. Sex hormone levels and pathological changes in the ovaries were measured. Key proteins in the RAGE pathway related to apoptosis, aging, and inflammation, were tested using Western blot. A 16S rRNA analysis of feces and non-targeted metabolism in serum was performed to determine the effects of JAD on intestinal flora and metabolism.ResultsBody weight, ovarian index, and the number of follicles at all levels increased in the JAD group. Regarding serum hormones, estradiol, anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and P levels increased, whereas follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels decreased in the JAD group. The levels of phosphorylated Akt protein (P-Akt), receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), tumor protein p53 (P53), C-reactive protein (CRP), apoptosis regulator BAX (BAX) and Caspase3 were downregulated by JAD, whereas B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Endothelial nitric oxidase synthase (eNOS) were upregulated. JAD was also found to play an important role in the regulation of metabolic disorders and intestinal ecological imbalances by adjusting species composition and diversity.ConclusionJAD can protect ovaries by exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects via inhibition of the RAGE pathway. JAD can also regulate metabolic disorders and maintain the dynamic balance of intestinal flora, thereby contributing to the improvement of the ovarian reserve function.

Objective:To study the impact factors of computed tomography(CT)imaging quality of inner ear under different reconstruction algorithms,and to explore the feasibility and application value that different reconstruction algorithms reduced the CT scanning dose for inner ear.Methods:Based on the head phantom,fixed tube currents of 100,80,70,60,50,and 40 mA were respectively used to perform high-resolution CT(HRCT)of multi-slice spiral volume at transverse section.Each tube current was used to conduct 25 example number of scanning experiments.Different reconstruction parameters were used to reconstruct images by using three commonly reconstruction techniques for inner ear CT,which included volume rendering technique(VRT),multiple planar reconstruction(MPR)and maximum intensity projection(MIP).The effects of different tube currents and reconstruction parameters on the quality scores of soft tissue,bone,and artifacts in VRT,MPR and MIP images were analyzed and compared.Four physicians used a blind method to score the image quality as a scale of 0-3.Results:Under the same tube current,the quality scores of soft tissue,bone and artifact of VRT,MPR and MIP images gradually decreased with the increasing of reconstruction interval,and the differences were statistically significant(F=61.853,49.296,71.280,P<0.05),respectively.Under the parameters of same reconstruction interval,the quality scores of soft tissue,bone and artifact of VRT,MPR and MIP images gradually decreased with the decreasing of tube current during scanning,and the differences were statistically significant(F=16.346,23.632,21.746,P<0.05),respectively.The quality scores of soft tissue,bone and artifacts of images were positively correlated with tube current(r=0.892,0.907,0.871,P<0.05),and were negatively correlated with reconstruction interval(r=-0.841,-0.864,-0.866,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:In CT scanning of inner ear,the decrease of reconstruction interval can effectively improve the imaging qualities of thin-layer and low-dose scans,and further reduce the CT radiation dose of inner ear,which has clinical feasibility and application value.

Objective:To study the feasibility and value of applying organ dose modulation technique in computed tomography(CT)scanning on eyes.Methods:A total of 330 patients who admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University from August 2021 to August 2023 and underwent CT examination on eyes were selected.They were divided into modulation group,conventional group and low-dose group based on the control methods of tube current in scanning.The modulation group used organ dose modulation technique with intelligent automatic tube current of 70-150 mA,and the conventional dose group used a fixed tube current of 100 mA,and the low-dose group used a fixed tube current of 70 mA.The differences in radiation dose and CT imaging quality among 3 groups were compared.Results:The dose length product(DLP),volume CT dose index(CTDIvol)and effective dose(ED)of cross-sectional scan of the modulation group were respectively 62.37,12.83 and 0.143 mSv,which were significantly lower than 115.23,18.93 and 0.265mSv of conventional dose group,respectively,with statistically significant(F=2544.944,6009.596,2544.944,P<0.05).The DLP,CTDIvol and ED of coronary scan of the modulation group were 68.19,13.15 and 0.156,respectively,which were significantly lower than 122.41,19.20 and 0.282 mSv of the conventional dose group,respectively,with statistically significant(F=1232.413,3813.940,1232.413,P<0.05).The excellent rates of cross-sectional scans among the modulation group,conventional group and lower-dose group were respectively 98.83%,86.15%and 47.69%,and the difference among three groups was statistically significant(x2=53.908,P<0.05).The excellent rates of image qualities of the modulation group,conventional group and low-dose group were respectively 96.61%,80.70%and 48.28%,and the difference among three groups was statistically significant(x2=20.992,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of organ dose modulation technique in CT scanning on eyes can significantly reduce radiation dose on patient under ensures imaging quality can meet diagnostic needs when undergoes cross-sectional and coronal scans,which has higher clinical feasibility and application value.

Objective:To analyze the comorbidity status and influencing factors of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults and to provide support for the "co-management of three diseases".Methods:Using the relevant information collected from the National Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance in China in 2018, 134 950 permanent residents aged ≥45 years were selected as the research objects. After being weighed, the prevalence and comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia in residents with different groups were compared; a multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the influencing factors of comorbidity of the "three diseases".Results:The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults were 46.0% (95% CI:45.1%-47.0%), 19.5% (95% CI:18.7%-20.2%), 43.3% (95% CI:42.3%-44.4%), respectively. The comorbidity rates of hypertension and diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia, and diabetes and dyslipidemia were 12.3% (95% CI:11.7%-12.8%), 22.8% (95% CI:22.1%-23.4%),11.6% (95% CI:11.1%-12.0%), respectively; the comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia was 7.6% (95% CI: 7.2%-8.0%). These comorbidity rates increased with age and BMI, which was more significant in the urban areas than rural areas and more outstanding in North and Northeast China ( P<0.05). The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and higher cholesterol was 1.9% (95% CI:1.7%-2.1%). The comorbidity rate of hypertension, diabetes, and higher low-density lipoprotein was 1.6% (95% CI:1.4%-1.7%), which was higher in women than in men ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that male, age, city, overweight/obesity, excessive drinking, physical inactivity, daily sedentary behavior time ≥5 hours, and sleep duration <7 hours were risk factors for the comorbidity of the "three diseases". Conclusions:The comorbidity of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, is common among middle-aged and elderly adults in China; comprehensive prevention and control of risk factors and "co-management of three diseases" are critical measures for health promotion in middle-aged and elderly populations.

Objective:To understand the regular leisure-time physical activity status of residents aged ≥60 years in China and to explore the potential influencing factors.Methods:National Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance were conducted in 298 counties (districts) in China in 2018, which covered 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities), using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method to select 194 779 permanent residents aged ≥18 years, using a questionnaire containing the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. A face-to-face survey to obtain demographic information about the survey respondents, the frequency of moderate and vigorous-intensity leisure-time physical activity in their spare time and time, and other information related to chronic diseases and risk factors. Daily temperatures of 298 monitored counties (districts) in 2018 were obtained by inversion of satellite remote sensing data information such as MODIS, OMI, and AIRS, and the number of parks in 2017 was obtained by me. In this study, 68 379 residents aged ≥60 years who completed the survey and had complete information on leisure-time physical activity-related variables, temperature, and parks were used as survey respondents, and the prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity and average weekly exercise time was calculated by gender in groups of age, urban and rural areas, education level, and geography. Multi-factor logistic regression models were used to analyze the individual and environmental influences on the regular exercise rate. All the results were weighted according to a complex sampling scheme.Results:The prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity of residents aged ≥60 years in China in 2018 was 13.1% (95% CI: 12.1%-14.0%). The figures were slightly higher for men [13.6% (95% CI: 12.6%-14.7%)] than for women [12.5% (95% CI: 11.5%-13.5%)]; urban [17.5% (95% CI: 15.9%-19.1%)] were significantly higher than those in rural areas [9.6% (95% CI: 8.8%-10.4%)]; the prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity in East China [15.1% (95% CI: 13.3%-16.9%)] was higher than those in other regions; older residents in counties (districts) with ≥28 parks [17.3% (95% CI: 15.3%-19.2%)] the highest. The average weekly exercise time of elderly residents in China was 68.3 (95% CI: 63.5-73.2) minutes; among them, men [74.3 (95% CI: 68.1-80.5) minutes] was higher than women [62.5 (95% CI: 57.8-67.2) minutes]; urban [89.8 (95% CI: 82.0-97.7) minutes] were higher than rural [51.4 (95% CI: 46.8-56.1) minutes]. The results of the multi-factorial logistic analysis showed that factors such as: living in rural areas, lower annual household income for literacy, poorer self-rated health status, and lack of parks in the area of residence were associated with a lower prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity among elderly residents. Conclusions:The prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity among elderly residents in China is still at a low level, and exercise time needs to be improved. We should increase the publicity of "national fitness", pay attention to the disadvantaged elderly groups and provide more suitable activity places to encourage more elderly residents to participate in leisure-time physical activity.
