Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between arthroscopic posteromedial dual-portal valvotomy combined with cyst wall resection and open surgery in the treatment of popliteal cysts.Methods A total of 64 patients with popliteal cysts who were treated in the Kunshan Second People's Hospital from May 2018 to May 2023 were enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups.The combined group(n=32)underwent arthroscopic posteromedial dual-portal valvotomy combined with cyst wall resection,and the traditional group(n=32)underwent open surgery.Surgery-related parameters,pain,inflammatory levels,knee joint function,quality of life,postoperative complications and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results The combined group had less intraoperative blood loss and shorter incision length,operation time,and hospital stay than the traditional group(P＜0.05).The Rauschning-Lindgren grade was improved at 6 months after surgery in both groups(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the Rauschning-Lindgren grade at 6 months after surgery between the two groups(P＞0.05).VAS scores at 6,24 and 48 h postoperatively,lower limb alignment angles,and the levels of interleukin(IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor-α,IL-8,and C reactive protein in the combined group were lower than those in the traditional group(P＜0.05).The range of motion of the knee,Lysholm knee scores,and QOL scores in all dimensions in the combined group were higher than those in the traditional group(P＜0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the combined group was lower than that in the traditional group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic posteromedial dual-portal valvotomy combined with cyst wall resection is superior to open surgery in the treatment of popliteal cysts,with less intraoperative blood loss,shorter operation time and hospital stay,lower pain levels,better knee joint function and higher quality of life.

ObjectiveTo investigate the acute effects of compound air pollution on children’s respiratory function. MethodsUsing panel group study design， 223 students in five classes of grade 4 from two primary schools （a， b） in Xuhui and Hongkou districts of Shanghai were randomly selected to measure pulmonary function and exhaled nitric oxide （FeNO）. The first three tests were carried out from May to June in 2020， and the fourth test was carried out from September to December in 2021. At the same time， the daily and hourly mean values of PM_2.5， PM₁₀， SO₂， NO₂， O₃ and CO was collected from the nearby air quality monitoring points of the two schools during the same period ， as well as meteorological monitoring data （temperature， humidity， wind speed and atmospheric pressure）. The linear mixed effect model was used to analyze the effects of air pollution on pulmonary function and respiratory inflammation in the summer. ResultsThe results of single pollutant model showed that PM_2.5， PM_10， SO₂ and NO₂ were positively correlated with FeNO， and the effect was reflected in lag0， lag1 and lag3 （P<0.05）. PM_2.5， PM₁₀ and NO₂ were negatively correlated with the changes of lung function FEF_25%， FEF_50%， FEF_75%， FeF_25%-75%， PEF， FVC， FEV1 and FEV1/FVC， and the effect was reflected in lag0 to lag3 days （P<0.05）. The results of the dual pollutant model showed that the concentration changes of SO₂ and NO₂ were significantly correlated with the decrease of FEV1 when combined with O₃ or PM_2.5 （P<0.01）， and the concentration changes of PM_2.5 was significantly correlated with the increase of FeNO when O₃， SO₂ and NO₂ were combined respectively （P<0.01）. The effects of the dual pollutant model were greater than the effect of PM_2.5 single pollutant model. ConclusionThe health effects of different air pollutants on children’s respiratory tract function indexes in summer are different. The combined effects of two pollutants on the lung function of children increased to different degrees. Although air pollution is light in summer， it still has an impact on children’s respiratory tract function index and inflammation index， and the combined effect of dual pollutants is more significant than that of single pollutant.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of overweight or obesity in community patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai and to explore the related factors. MethodsStratified cluster sampling method was used and the general condition， physical examination and laboratory examination data of patients with schizophrenia who voluntarily participated in 2020 free health examination of National Basic Public Health Service were analyzed. ResultsA total of 3 200 patients were included into the study ，and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 36.75% and 17.19%， respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age between 40 and 60 （OR=1.333， 95%CI： 1.030‒1.724）， intake of first-generation antipsychotics （OR=1.413， 95%CI： 1.112‒1.796）， intake of second-generation antipsychotics （OR=1.573， 95%CI： 1.288‒1.921）， high-normal blood pressure （OR=1.549， 95%CI： 1.245‒1.927）， high-abnormal blood pressure （OR=2.824， 95%CI： 2.204‒3.619）， elevated ALT （OR=1.874， 95%CI： 1.386‒2.535）， elevated FBG （OR=1.270， 95%CI： 1.066‒1.513）， and elevated TG （OR=1.652， 95%CI： 1.335‒2.044） were the related factors that associated overweight or obesity in patients with schizophrenia. ConclusionOverweight and obesity are highly prevalent among community patients with schizophrenia in Shanghai. Age between 40 and 60， taking first-generation and second-generation antipsychotics， blood pressure higher than 120/80 mmHg， elevated ALT， elevated FBG， and elevated TG are associated with overweight or obesity in patients with schizophrenia. To provide personalized health guidance， medical staff in primary health care institutions should pay more attention to high-risk groups of overweight and obesity in schizophrenia patients at annual physical examination.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of adolescent non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behavior， and to enable clinicians to further understand adolescents with NSSI behavior， so as to make better clinical diagnosis and intervention. MethodsFrom July 2022 to June 2023， 120 adolescent patients with NSSI behavior were selected from the outpatient department of our hospital by convenience sampling， and the general demographic data were collected by self-made general situation questionnaire. The characteristics and motivation of NSSI among adolescents with NSSI were analyzed by using the NSSI questionnaire and Ottawa self-injury inventory （OSI）. ResultsThe average age of the first NSSI in the adolescents was 12.90±1.233， and the most common was 13 years old. The most common site of NSSI was the lower arm or wrist （58.33%）， followed by the hand （27.5%）. The most commonly used NSSI was "intentionally cutting oneself" （68.33%）； The most common motivation for NSSI is emotional regulation. ConclusionThere are significant differences in gender among adolescents with NSSI behavior. The age of first NSSI is concentrated， and the highest incidence is in the 11‒14 years old. The common way of self-injury is cutting. NSSI is usually associated with the intention to relieve suffering and is characterized by high frequency， using variety of methods， and low mortality. Adolescents with NSSI often choose to implement NSSI with emotion regulation as the main function， including external emotion regulation and internal emotion regulation.

Background Air quality health index (AQHI) has been widely used to quantify the health effects of multiple pollutants observed in population-based epidemiological studies, and can better reflect the widespread linear non-threshold between air pollution and health effects. Objective To explore an AQHI for pediatric respiratory diseases (AQHI_r) in Shanghai and evaluate its feasibility. Methods The daily numbers of hospital outpatient visits for pediatric respiratory diseases from 2015 to 2019 were obtained from five general hospitals in Xuhui, Baoshan, Hongkou, Jinshan, and Chongming Districts of Shanghai. Monitoring data on air pollutants (PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, NO₂, and O₃), air quality index (AQI), and meteorological variables (temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and wind speed) were collected from five air quality monitoring sites nearest to selected hospitals. Time-series analysis using generalized additive model (GAM) was conducted to estimate the associations between respiratory-related pediatric outpatient visits and the concentrations of air pollutants. The sum of excess risk (ER) of hospital outpatient visits was used to construct AQHI_r. To assess the predictive power of AQHI_r, the associations of AQHI_r and AQI with the number of pediatric respiratory outpatient visits in three hospitals in Xuhui, Hongkou, and Chongming districts were compared. Results Air pollutants had various effects on respiratory diseases outpatient visits. PM_2.5, NO₂, and O₃ had most significant impacts on lag0 day and the associated ERs of hospital outpatient visits for each 10 μg·m⁻³ increase in pollutant concentration were 1.27% (95%CI: 0.88%-1.66%), 0.75% (95%CI: 0.40%-1.11%), and 0.36% (95%CI: 0.10%-0.62%), respectively. PM₁₀ and SO₂ had most significant impacts on lag3 day and the associated ERs of hospital outpatient visits for each 10 μg·m⁻³ increase in pollutant concentration were 0.81% (95%CI: 0.51%-1.12%) and 5.64% (95%CI: 3.37%-7.96%), respectively. There were significant effects of combinations of two pollutants among PM_2.5, PM₁₀, NO₂, SO₂, and O₃ except for PM₁₀+NO₂, SO₂+PM_2.5, and SO₂+NO₂ (P<0.05). According to the results of single-pollutant and two-pollutant models, PM_2.5, NO₂, SO₂, and O₃ were selected to construct AQHI_r. The comparison showed that for every interquartile range increase in AQHI_r, the ER for pediatric outpatient visits was higher than that for the value corresponding to AQI. Conclusion Air pollutants in Shanghai have an impact on the number of pediatric respiratory outpatient visits. The AQHI_r based on and outpatient visits for pediatric respiratory diseases can be a sensitive index to predict the effects of air pollution on children's respiratory health.

OBJECTIVE: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious respiratory dysfunction caused by pathogen or physical invasion. The strong induced inflammation often causes death. Tanshinone IIA (Tan-IIA) is the major constituent of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and has been shown to display anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of Tan-IIA on ALI. METHODS: A murine model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI was used. The lungs and serum samples of mice were extracted at 3 days after treatment. ALI-induced inflammatory damages were confirmed from cytokine detections and histomorphology observations. Effects of Tan-IIA were investigated using in vivo and in vitro ALI models. Tan-IIA mechanisms were investigated by performing Western blot and flow cytometry experiments. A wound-healing assay was performed to confirm the Tan-IIA function. RESULTS: The cytokine storm induced by LPS treatment was detected at 3 days after LPS treatment, and alveolar epithelial damage and lymphocyte aggregation were observed. Tan-IIA treatment attenuated the LPS-induced inflammation and reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines released not only by inhibiting neutrophils, but also by macrophage. Moreover, we found that macrophage activation and polarization after LPS treatment were abrogated after applying the Tan-IIA treatment. An in vitro assay also confirmed that including the Tan-IIA supplement increased the relative amount of the M2 subtype and decreased that of M1. Rebalanced macrophages and Tan-IIA inhibited activations of the nuclear factor-κB and hypoxia-inducible factor pathways. Including Tan-IIA and macrophages also improved alveolar epithelial repair by regulating macrophage polarization. CONCLUSION This study found that while an LPS-induced cytokine storm exacerbated ALI, including Tan-IIA could prevent ALI-induced inflammation and improve the alveolar epithelial repair, and do so by regulating macrophage polarization.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of intervention by WeChat on medication compliance， psychotic symptom and recurrence rate of schizophrenic patients in community. MethodsDatabases including PubMed， the Cochrane Library， CBM， CNKI， Wanfang Data and VIP were searched electronically from January 1， 2011 to November 1， 2020 to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about the effects of WeChat intervention on community schizophrenic patients. After two reviewers independently screened literature， extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies， the meta-analysis was performed with Stata 12.0 software. ResultsA total of 381 articles were retrieved and finally 10 RCTs were included， including 1 251 patients with WeChat intervention group 641 cases and routine health education group 610 cases. Meta-analysis showed that compared with the conventional health education group， the WeChat intervention group had higher medication compliance （OR=3.05，95% CI：1.98~4.69，P<0.01）， lower PANSS score （SMD=-1.05，95% CI：-1.46~-0.64，P<0.01） and relapse rate （OR=0.34，95% CI：0.24~0.48，P<0.01）. ConclusionThe interactive intervention based on WeChat platform can effectively improve the medication compliance of patients with schizophrenia in the community， help to reduce the severity of psychotic symptoms and the recurrence rate.

Objective: To investigate the associations of obesity and physical activity with cognition in the elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2009 to June 2010 among people aged ≥50 years selected through multistage random cluster sampling in Shanghai. The subjects' body weight, body height, waist circumference and hip circumference were measured to calculate body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR), and the data on self-reported physical activity level were collected through questionnaire survey. A comprehensive battery of cognitive tests was conducted to assess subjects' cognitive functions, including verbal recall, forward digit span (FDS), backward digit span (BDS), and verbal fluency (VF). General linear model was used to examine the associations of BMI, WHR and physical activity with cognition. Results: A total of 7 913 participants were included, with a median age of 60 years. Age, sex, education level, income level, BMI, WHR and physical activity level were significantly associated with cognitive scores in univariate analysis. After adjusted for age, sex, education level and income level, BMI was no longer significantly associated with cognitive scores in all cognitive functions (all P>0.01). WHR was significantly associated with VF score (P<0.01). Abdominally obese participants had lower VF score than non-abdominally obese participants (P<0.01). Physical activity level was significantly associated with all cognitive functions (P<0.01). Compared with participants with moderate physical activity level, participants with low physical activity level had lower scores in all cognitive functions (P<0.01). Conclusion: Abdominal obesity and low physical activity level were negatively associated with cognition level in the elderly, suggesting that waist circumference control and physical activity might help maintain cognition in the elderly.

This study analyzed the genetic characterization on first imported measles virus of genotype D8 in Chinese mainland. Serums were collected from the suspicious MV patients to detect IgM antibody in ELISA. Throat swabs were cultured in Vero/SLAM cell line to get measles virus isolates. Part of the nucleotide sequence of the 3' terminus of nucleoprotein (N) gene of these isolates were amplified by RT-PCR, and the amplicons were directly sequenced. The phylogenetic analysis was based on the nucleotide sequence about 456 base pairs of the 3' terminus of nucleoprotein (N) gene. Results showed that it reported 1 105 suspicious measles cases in shanghai, 2012, including 590 confirmed cases and 2 clinical case. The reported morbidity was 2.52 per one hundred thousand. 247 measles viruses were isolated from 984 throat swabs specimen. Most of them belonged to sub-genotype H1a except Shanghai12-239 was genotype D8. The homology of nucleotide and amino acid sequences were 97.8% and 98.6% respectively between Shanghai12-239 and WHO reference strain (Manchester. UNK30.94(D8)AF280803). Those were 89.6%-94.5% and 88.7%-95.3% between Shanghai12-239 and WHO reference strains of other genotypes.
