Objective: To understand the public health emergency response capacity in primary and secondary schools, and to explore the problems and challenges in the prevention and control of public health emergency in primary and secondary schools for specific strategies. Methods: By using the stratified group sampling method, a questionnaire survey on general situation, knowledge, attitude and training, as well as public health emergencies response capacity among 2 988 teachers or leaders responsible for school emergency response in primary and secondary schools from Beijing, Chongqing and Yunnan. Results: Participants varied on their positions, titles, educational background and knowledge accuracy. Higher knowledge accuracy was associated with higher educational background ( χ 2=50.73-203.36, P < 0.05 ). The implementation of regular public health emergency related programs was poorly conducted in high schools (50.0%). Urban schools (42.0%) had higher proportion of qualified health care professionals than rural schools (18.2%), and private schools (48.5%) was higher than public schools (24.7%). The primary challenges included the shortage of guidance from professionals and the lack of related testing equipment (84.91%, 74.03%). Conclusion Although the ability of emergency handling of public health emergencies in schools in the three regions is advancing with the times, there are still many deficiencies, some omissions in the mastery of knowledge. It is suggested to inerease pre service and special training of school health work CDC should strengthen technical guidance and work supervision of infectious disease management in schools.

Pinealoma often comorbid with obstructive hydrocephalus due to their specific location and type, therefore, patients with pinealoma need to be treated by a combined ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) along with surgical resection. Shunt failure is the most common complication after surgery. In this paper, we report a case of obstructive hydrocephalus caused by shunt obstruction after pineal gland tumor resection combined with ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The patient first showed low mood, decreased interest and energy, and gradually developed into manifestations of less eating, less talking, less movement, repeated psychiatric visits, and showed no improvement after treatment with antidepressants. The purpose of the current study is to increase the knowledge of these diseases and reduce misdiagnosis.

Objective    To evaluate the data of preoperative aortic root CT angiography (CTA), compare it with two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography and investigate the correlation of the two measurements with the actual intraoperative measurement data. Methods    Clinical data of 53 patients with aortic valve diseases who underwent aortic valve repair in our hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 38 males and 15 females with an average age of 42.9±18.3 years ranging from 10 to 77 years. Preoperative two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and aortic root CTA measurements were collected, including aortic valve annulus (AVA), aortic sinus (Sinus) and sino-tubular junction (STJ). In comparison with the intraoperative measurements during the aortic valve repair surgery, the consistency analysis was performed. Results    Both the preoperative echocardiography AVA measurements and the CT AVA measurements were positively correlated with the intraoperative AVA measurements (P<0.001). Compared with the echocardiography AVA data [correlation coefficient (ρ)=0.74, mean squared error (MSE)=12.78], the CT AVA data were more accurate and consistent with the intraoperative AVA measurements (ρ=0.95, MSE=2.72). CT AVA data had a higher correlation coefficient with the intraoperative measurements, compared to that of  the echocardiography AVA data (P<0.001). Conclusion    In comparison with two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, preoperative morphological evaluation of aortic root CTA is more consistent with the actual intraoperative measurements during aortic valve repair surgery.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, hypercoagulability, hypertension, and multiorgan dysfunction. Effective antivirals with safe clinical profile are urgently needed to improve the overall prognosis. In an analysis of a randomly collected cohort of 124 patients with COVID-19, we found that hypercoagulability as indicated by elevated concentrations of D-dimers was associated with disease severity. By virtual screening of a U.S. FDA approved drug library, we identified an anticoagulation agent dipyridamole (DIP) , which suppressed SARS-CoV-2 replication . In a proof-of-concept trial involving 31 patients with COVID-19, DIP supplementation was associated with significantly decreased concentrations of D-dimers ( < 0.05), increased lymphocyte and platelet recovery in the circulation, and markedly improved clinical outcomes in comparison to the control patients. In particular, all 8 of the DIP-treated severely ill patients showed remarkable improvement: 7 patients (87.5%) achieved clinical cure and were discharged from the hospitals while the remaining 1 patient (12.5%) was in clinical remission.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of transitional care by a nurse-led multidisciplinary team (MDT) on clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS: A randomized control study design was used. Subjects were allocated randomly to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received intensive transitional care by a nurse-led MDT, whereas the control group received routine nursing care. Disease activity, spinal mobility, comprehensive function, health service utilization, and quality of life were assessed at the baseline and at six months with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), a health service utilization questionnaire and version 2 of the Short Form-36 health survey. RESULTS: Compared with the baseline, the BASDAI, BASFI, emergency visits, hospitalizations, hospitalization days, and bodily pain, vitality, mental health, total score, and average score of version 2 of the Short Form-36 health survey were improved in the experimental group (p < .05), whereas only bodily pain, vitality, and role-emotional were improved in the control group p < .05). At six months, the experimental group exhibited significantly more improvement on the BASDAI, BASFI, hospitalizations, all domains except Role-physical as well as total score and average score p < .05) compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: A MDT-based nurse-led transitional care improves clinical outcomes and quality of life of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Future research should be carried out on modes of follow-up and family support.

Objective To investigate the role of SHBG in PCOS. Methods Three hundred and ten PCOS patients were divided into the low-SHBG group , the normal-SHBG group , and 95 healthy women were enrolled in the healthy control group. Results (1) In the low SHBG group, the incidences of IR and MS were higher than those in the the normal SHBG group and the healthy control group (P < 0.05); (2) In the low SHBG group, DHEAS was significantly higher than that in the normal SHBG group (P < 0.05); (3) In the low SHBG group, FINS, HOMA-IR, TG, TC/HDL, TG/HDL, LDL/HDL were significantly higher than those in the normal SHBG group and the healthy control group , but HDL was significantly lower than that in the normal SHBG group (P < 0.05); (4) SHBG was positively correlated with HDL, but was negatively correlated with FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TG, TC/HDL, TG/HDL, LDL/HDL. Conclusions Uner the low SHBG level, PCOS patients have high levels of DHEAS, and SHBG may be a risk factor for MS, IR and dislipidemia.

Objective To summarize the experience of applying choledochoscopy, duodenoscopy and laparoscopy, one-stage suturing of common bile duct, to treat cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis that failed to respond to ordinary endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST). Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of twenty-five pa-tients with choledocholithiasis complicated with cholecystolithiasis. 25 cases of failure to endoscopic stone extraction underwent LC and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with primary suture of (BD) from June 2013 to June 2015. Results One patient was converted to laparotomy with small incision. The other one had residual stones and therefore underwent a second EST. After the treatment, two patients developed hyperamylasemia, which was cured by conservative therapy; One patient had bile leakage, which was treated by percutaneous drainage with no serious complications and death. No long-term complication was found in a portion of patients followed up until now. Conclusion In properly selected patients of duodenoscopy management-failed, synchronous treatment of combined application of three endoscopies in laparoscopic surgery with primary suture of (BD) is feasible, effective and safe.

Objective To verify the effects of critical-care pain observation tool ( CPOT) on pain assessment after lung transplantation. Methods 2 critical care nurses applied CPOT scale for pain assessment of 42 cases hospitalized in ICU after lung transplantation who would have pain assessment. The whole investigation were divided into 3 stages and 2 points of each stage ( rest before turning over and the simulation of turning over) with total 6 measuring point (T1-T6). The first stage was patients with general anesthesia ( no awareness) , the second stage ( patients with sanity and applied artificial respirator through oral trachea cannula, the third stage ( patients got off oral trachea cannula and ventilator paused ) . The measurement point was 1 min, recording patient′s value of CPOT from T1 to T6. The second stage was used digital scoring method. Results For 3 stages, the measurement points of turning over for CPOT value was higher than that of rest measurement point before turning over; 2 critical patients had high uniformity for CPOT score;in stage 2, patient′s CPOT score had high uniformity with NRS score. Conclusions CPOT is a effective way to assess pain for mechanically ventilated patients after lung transplantation.

Objective To study the efficacy of alendronate in treatment of postoperative residual pain with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCF) of vertebroplasty.Methods 62 patients with OVCF from September 2013 to October 2014 were divided into observation group and control group, each had 31 cases.All patients were given calcium carbonate D3 tablets 1 day after surgery, observation group were given alendronate on this basis.The degree of pain score between two groups pre-and post-treatment two weeks, one month, two months were observed and compared.Pain improvement in two groups were observed, and activity ability score, painkiller use and bone mineral density between two groups pre-and post-treatment were compared.Results The pain scores in observation group a month postoperative was (0.8 ±0.4) points and (0.4 ±0.2) points after two months, were significantly lower than those in control group[(1.6 ±0.7) points, (1.1 ±0.8) points, P<0.05].The excellent rate of pain improvement in observation group(83.87%) was significantly higher than that in control group (58.06%, P <0.05) .After treatment, activity ability score in observation group was (1.13 ±0.53) points and painkiller usage was (0.44 ±0.07) times per day, all significantly lower than those in control group [(1.79 ±0.89) points, (0.89 ±0.12) times per day, P<0.05].BMD level in observation group was (5.78 ±1.02)%, higher than that in control group[(3.21 ±0.79)%, P<0.05].Conclusion Alendronate in treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures vertebroplasty postoperative residual pain has good early outcome and low adverse reactions, and security is relatively high.
