Objective:To investigate the effect of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and perinatal outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing first in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI).Methods:The clinical data of 1 013 patients with PCOS who received first IVF/ICSI treatment in Reproductive Medicine Center, Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2017 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to BMI China standard, they were divided into: normal weight group (18.5≤BMI<24.0 kg/m 2, 388 cases), overweight group (24.0≤BMI<28.0 kg/m 2, 367 cases), obese group (BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2, 258 cases). The effect of BMI on CLBR was analyzed by univariate analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis and smooth curve fitting. The role of homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in the process of BMI on CLBR was analyzed by mediation analysis. Results:Among three groups, female age, basal level of follicle stimulating hormone, type of infertility and ovulation induction regimens were similar (all P>0.05). The infertility duration, basal testosterone level, HOMA-IR, the ovulation induction time and the total gonadotropin dosage increased with BMI (all P<0.01), anti-Müllerian hormone, basal luteinizing hormone level, the number of retrieved oocytes and available embryos decreased with BMI (all P<0.05). CLBR decreased with BMI increasing [84.08% (301/358) vs 74.26% (251/338) vs 71.88% (161/224); P<0.001]. The incidence of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy was highest in obese group, while premature rupture of membranes rate, premature delivery rate, low birth weight rate and macrosomia birth rate were the lowest in normal weight group. After adjusting for confounding factors, both smooth curve fitting and multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a significant trend: CLBR declined with increasing BMI ( OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.89-0.97; P=0.002), with a reduction of 41% ( OR=0.59, 95% CI: 0.39-0.91; P=0.020) in overweight group, and a reduction of 48% ( OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.32-0.83; P=0.010) in obese group. HOMA-IR mediated the effect of BMI on CLBR by 27.5% ( P<0.05). Conclusions:High BMI before IVF/ICSI in PCOS patients negatively impacts CLBR and raises maternal and infant risks during pregnancy and the perinatal period. 27.5% of the effect of BMI on CLBR is mediated by HOMA-IR. Thus, PCOS patients should manage their BMI and enhance insulin sensitivity prior to pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the midterm clinical efficacy of medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) reconstruction for recurrent patellar dislocation with high-grade trochlear dysplasia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was carried out among adult patients who underwent arthroscopically assisted MPFC reconstruction between January 2014 and December 2020. Dejour classification was evaluated to grade trochlear dysplasia; tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance and Insall-Salvati index were measured. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were compared, including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Kujala score, Lysholm score and Tegner score. Information regarding returning-to-sport rate, re-instability events and complications was collected. Patellar tilt (PT), lateral patellar displacement (LPD) and bisect offset (BSO) ratio were measured based on axial computed tomography before and after surgery to assess the patellofemoral congruence. RESULTS: A total of 46 MPFC reconstructions in 43 patients were enrolled, including 16 male and 27 female. Mean age at surgery was (22.2±7.6) years (range: 14-44 years). Mean follow-up was (49.9±22.6) months (range: 18-102 months). The percentages of Dejour B, C and D dysplasia were 37.0% (17/46), 43.5% (20/46), and 19.6% (9/46), respectively. Mean Insall-Salvati index was 1.2±0.2 (range: 0.85-1.44), and mean TT-TG distance was (19.6±3.5) mm (range: 10.6-28.7 mm). At latest follow-up, there were significant improvements in all PROMs (P < 0.001): IKDC score, from 56.3±15.1 to 86.2±8.1; Kujala score, from 58.9±15.6 to 92.6±5.4; Lysholm score, from 63.7±15.0 to 94.0±5.7; Tegner score, from 3.1±1.4 to 4.7±1.4, and there were no significant differences in the improvements of the scores between the patients with Dejour B, C and D dysplasia. Overall, ninety percent of the patients returned to their preoperative sports level. One patient reported a postoperative subluxation, while no cases of infection, limited range of motion or patella fracture were observed. PT, LPD and BSO ratio were all significant altered (P < 0.001) after MPFC reconstruction. CONCLUSION Arthroscopically assisted MPFC reconstruction yielded satisfactory midterm clinical results for recurrent patellar dislocation with high-grade trochlear dysplasia. No significant differences of improvements in knee function were observed among the three types of high-grade trochlear dysplasia.

Objective To explore the effect of sling exercise with Tuina therapy on kinesiophobia in old patients with lumbar disc herniation,and analyze the mechanism based on brain-bone axis. Methods A total of 56 old patients with chronic lumbar disc herniation and kinesiophobia were selected from the Reha-bilitation Hospital of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September,2022 to December,2023;and randomly divided into control group(n=28)and experimental group(n=28).The control group accepted conventional exercise therapy,while the experimental group accepted sling exercise with Tuina therapy,for four weeks.They were assessed with simplified Chinese version of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia(TSK),Japanese Orthopaedic Association score(JOA)and Visual Analogue Scale for pain(VAS)before and after treatment,while the bone mineral density(BMD)was tested,the levels of osteoprote-gerin(OPG),norepinephrine(NE)and corticosteroids(Cor)in serum were measured,and the median frequency(MF)of weak-link erector spinae was detected with surface electromyography. Results Two cases dropped off in the control group,and one in the experimental group.The scores of all the assessment improved in both groups after treatment(|t|>14.168,P<0.001),as well as the serum levels of OPG,NE and Cor(|t|>2.103,P<0.05),BMD(|t|>2.726,P<0.05),and MF of erector spinae(|t|>14.736,P<0.001);all of them were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.154,P<0.05). Conclusion Sling exercise with Tuina therapy can improve the pain and kinesiophobia of lumbar disc herniation in the old adults,which may promote the recovery of physical and mental function through regulating the levels of hor-mones and neurotransmitters related to the brain-bone axis.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of pulsed Thulium fiber laser enucleation (ThuFLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:Clinical data of 238 BPH patients who underwent ThuFLEP from November 2022 to November 2023 at Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on different surgical techniques: 199 patients underwent traditional continuous-wave Thulium fiber laser prostatectomy (C-ThuFLEP group), and 39 patients underwent Thulium fiber laser enucleation with pulse modulation (P-ThuFLEP group). Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups. Operative time, resected tissue weight, pre- and postoperative hemoglobin decrease, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative catheterization time were recorded and compared between the matched groups. Intraoperative and short-term postoperative complications were also recorded and compared between the two groups. Follow-up assessments at 1 month postoperatively were conducted to compare the maximum urinary flow rate (Q max), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) score, quality of life (QOL) score, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score between the two groups, as well as changes in Q max and IPSS, IIEF-5, and QOL before and after surgery. Results:After matching, a total of 60 patients were included, with 30 patients in each group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age [(68.73±6.91) years vs. (71.07±7.34) years], American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (1-2/3-4: 23/7 vs. 23/7), comorbidity count (0-1/>1: 15/15 vs. 15/15), prostate volume [68.3 (50.0, 105.3) ml vs. 63.3 (45.7, 106.0) ml], preoperative IPSS score [24 (21, 29) vs. 23 (14, 26)], IIEF-5 score [5 (0, 15) vs. 5 (0, 13)], and QOL score [5 (4, 6) vs. 5 (5, 6)] (all P>0.05). The tissue removal rate in the P-ThuFLEP group was higher than that in the C-ThuFLEP group [0.82 (0.71, 1.18) g/min vs. 0.72 (0.46, 0.95) g/min, P=0.026], while there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in operative time [47 (37, 79) min vs. 65 (33, 87) min], resected tissue weight [45 (31, 75) g vs. 33 (22, 65) g], postoperative hemoglobin decrease [17 (10, 23) g/L vs. 12 (7, 19) g/L], postoperative hospital stay [4 (3, 5) days vs. 4 (3, 5) days], and postoperative catheterization time [3 (3, 5) days vs. 3 (3, 6) days]. The incidence of intraoperative complications in both groups was 10% (3/30), with no statistically significant difference ( P=1.000), and no severe complications of grade Ⅲ or above occurred. There were no statistically significant differences in Q max [24 (15, 33) ml/s vs. 16 (10, 32) ml/s], IPSS score [14 (12, 15) vs. 9 (7, 12)], QOL score [2 (1, 3) vs. 2 (1, 3)], and IIEF-5 score [3 (0, 5) vs. 3 (0, 6)] between the C-ThuFLEP and P-ThuFLEP group at 1 month postoperatively (all P > 0.05), and both showed significant improvement compared to preoperative values (all P < 0.05). The ICIQ-SF score in the P-ThuFLEP group was lower than that in the C-ThuFLEP group [0 (0, 4) vs. 4 (3, 8)], with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.033). Conclusions:Compared with traditional continuous-wave Thulium fiber laser prostatectomy, pulse-modulated Thulium fiber laser enucleation demonstrates higher efficiency in tissue removal, lower early postoperative ICIQ-SF score for urinary incontinence, similar risk of intraoperative complications, and can be safely and effectively applied in the surgical treatment of BPH patients.

Objective:To explore the relationship between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function, and the mediating and moderating effect of loneliness among them.Methods:A multi-stage stratified sampling was conducted in Jinzhou from September to November 2021, and 318 community-based elderly were included.General data questionnaire, the brief ageing perceptions questionnaire (BAPQ), UCLA loneliness scale(UCLA-LS) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) were applied to all subjects.IBM SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct independent sample t-test, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis, and Bootstrap program of AMOS 22.0 was used to analyze the mediation effect.The model in SPSSAU on-line analysis program was used to test the moderating effect. Results:The average scores of self-perceptions of aging, loneliness and cognitive function were (44.85±12.48), (41.70±8.73) and (24.87±3.40) respectively.And 65 of 318 subjects had cognitive impairment, and the detection rate was 20.44%(65/318). Self-perceptions of aging, loneliness and cognitive function scores were significantly correlated between each other(all P<0.05). Self-perceptions of aging had a negative effect on cognitive function ( β=-0.467, P<0.01). Self-perceptions of aging had a positive effect on loneliness ( β=0.585, P<0.01). Loneliness had a negative effect on cognitive function ( β=-0.234, P<0.01). The indirect standardization effect of loneliness between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function was -0.137, and the mediating effect accounted for 22.68% of the total effect.Loneliness played a moderating role between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function ( β=-0.114, t=-2.26, P=0.025). Conclusion:Self-perceptions of aging and loneliness can predict the cognitive function in the elderly, and loneliness plays a mediating role between self-perceptions of aging and cognitive function.Early detection of negative senility emotion and loneliness of the elderly will play a positive role in preventing the occurrence of cognitive impairment.

BACKGROUND: At the end of 2019, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severely damaged and endangered people's lives. The public health emergency management system in China has played an essential role in handling the response to the outbreak, which has been appreciated by the World Health Organization and some countries. Hence, it is necessary to conduct an overall analysis of the development of the health emergency management system in China. This can provide a reference for scholars to aid in understanding the current situation and to reveal new research topics. METHODS: We collected 2247 international articles from the Web of Science database and 959 Chinese articles from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database. Bibliometric and mapping knowledge domain analysis methods were used in this study for temporal distribution analysis, cooperation network analysis, and co-word network analysis. RESULTS: The first international article in this field was published in 1991, while the first Chinese article was published in 2005. The research institutions producing these studies mainly existed in universities and health organizations. Developed countries and European countries published the most articles overall, while eastern China published the most articles within China. There were 52 burst words for international articles published from 1999-2018 and 18 burst words for Chinese articles published from 2003-2018. International top-ranked articles according to the number of citations appeared in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2014, 2015, and 2016, while the corresponding Chinese articles appeared in 2003, 2004, 2009, and 2011. CONCLUSIONS There are differences in the regional and economic distribution of international and Chinese cooperation networks. International research is often related to timely issues mainly by focusing on emergency preparedness and monitoring of public health events, while China has focused on public health emergencies and their disposition. International research began on terrorism and bioterrorism, followed by disaster planning and emergency preparedness, epidemics, and infectious diseases. China considered severe acute respiratory syndrome as the starting research background and the legal system construction as the research starting point, which was followed by the mechanism, structure, system, and training abroad for public health emergency management.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of MRE and DWI in staging hepatic fibrosis in pa-tients with CHB. Methods In this retrospective analysis ,we investigated 93 patients with CBH and live fibrosis. Ninety-three patients were grouped according to their pathological grading of fibrosis ,from S0 to S4. Sixteen healthy patients were enrolled as the control group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correla-tion between the stiffness and ADC value and their staging fibrosis. ROC analysis was conducted to compare the per-formance of the stiffness and ADC value in staging hepatic fibrosis. Results Both liver stiffness value(r=0.962, P<0.01)and ADC value(r=-0.823,P<0.01)were highly correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis. The area un-der ROC(AUC)for the detection of≥S1≥S2/≥S3/S4 stage fibrosis with the stiffness and ADC value were 0.963/0.868、0.995/0.947、0.998/0.948、0.996/0.889 respectively ,with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05 , resectively). Conclusions MRE and DWI have higher value ,and MRE is more accurate than DWI for staging hepatic fibrosis in patients with CHB.

Proton pump inhibitors are H+ /K+-ATPase inhibitors, which can efficiently inhibit gastric acid secretion for a long time. As the latest inhibitory gastric acid drugs, proton pump inhibitors are the best choices for acid-related diseases such as gastroe-sophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal lesions caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Proton pump inhibi-tors have significant inhibition to basal gastric acid, night gastric acid and gastric acid secretion caused by gastrin and food stimulation. This article reviewed the pharmacokinetic characteristics of five proton pump inhibitors in domestic market.
