Objective To explore the expression of pepsinogen Ⅰ/Ⅱ(PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ),nucleosome assembly protein 1 like protein 1(NAP1L1),and SERPINB5 in the serum of gastric cancer patients and their correlation with prognosis.Methods From February 2019 to February 2022,200 gastric cancer patients admitted to Zhuozhou Hospital were served as the gastric cancer group and another 100 patients with benign gastric lesions who received the treatment at Zhuozhou Hospital during the same period were served as the benign group,with 200 healthy adults as the control group.Chemiluminescence and ELISA methods were used to detect the serum PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ,NAP1L1,and SERPINB5.ROC curve was used to explore the diagnostic value.Kaplan-Meier method was used to explore the survival curve.Moreover,multivariate Cox method was used to analyze the factors that affected the prognosis.Results Compared with the control group,the benign group and gastric cancer group had the lower serum PGⅠ/PG Ⅱ and higher serum NAP1L1 and SERPINB5,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the benign group,the gastric cancer group had the lower serum PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ and higher serum NAP1L1 and SERPINB5,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ,NAP1L1,and SERPINB5 were all influential factors in gastric carcinogenesis(P<0.05).The AUC values of serum PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ,NAP1L1,and SERPINB5 alone in the diagnosis of gastric cancer were 0.821,0.808,and 0.833,respectively.The AUC of the combination of the three was 0.916,indicating that their combined diagnostic value was superior(Z=3.142,3.896,3.114,P<0.05).During the 3-year follow-up period of gastric cancer patients,57 cases died,accounting for 28.50%(57/200),and 143 cases survived.Patients with the high expression of PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ had a higher 3-year overall survival rate after the surgery compared to those with low expression,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=7.830,P<0.05);and patients with the low expression of NAP1L1 and SERPINB5 had a higher 3-year overall survival rate after the surgery compared to those with high expression,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=8.612,13.321,P<0.05).The serum PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ levels in the death group were lower than those in the survival group,and the serum NAP1L1,SERPINB5 levels were higher in patients with preoperative lymph node metastasis and TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ than those in the survival group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Elevated level of PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ was a protective factor for the prognosis of gastric cancer patients,while preoperative lymph node metastasis,elevated levels of NAP1L1 and SERPINB5 were risk factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ levels are decreased and NAP1L1 and SERPINB5 levels are increased in gastric cancer patients,and NAP1L1 and SERPINB5 are risk factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients,while PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ is a protective factor.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum placental growth factor(PLGF)/soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1(sFlt-1),combined with the placental three-dimensional energy Doppler index(3D-PDI)in preeclampsia(PE).Methods From January 2021 to December 2022,120 pregnant women with PE risk factors were selected and followed up until 1 week after delivery.Serum PLGF and sFlt-1 levels were measured at routine prenatal check-ups at 14 to 20 weeks gestation.The PLGF/sFlt-1 ratio was calculated,and placental 3D-PDI was detected by ultrasound,including the vascularization index(VI),blood flow index(FI),and vascularization-blood flow index(VFI).Based on whether PE occurred after 20 weeks of pregnancy,cases were divided into PE(55 cases)and control groups(65 cases).The PE group was further divided into mild PE(35 cases)and severe PE groups(20 cases)based on the severity of the di-sease.The differences in PLGF/sFlt-1 and 3D-PDI between the groups were compared in terms of a statistical analysis of the correlation between PLGF,sFlt-1,and 3D-PDI.The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was plotted,and the predictive value of each index on PE alone or in combination was analyzed.Results The systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),24 h protein-uria level,preterm birth rate,NICU admission rate,and preconception BMI in the PE group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The two groups had no differences in age,gestational age,pregnancy history,and fertility history(P＞0.05).The serum PLGF/sFlt-1 of the PE group was lower than that of the control group,and the serum PLGF/sFlt-1 of the severe group was lower than that of the mild group(P＜0.05).The 3D-PDI index of the PE group was lower than that of the control group,and the 3D-PDI index of the severe group was lower than that of the mild group(P＜0.05).Pearson's correlation analysis indicated that PLGF and VFI were signifi-cantly positively correlated(P＜0.01),and sFlt-1 was significantly negatively correlated with VFI(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that PLGF/sFlt-1,VI,FI,and VFI all had predictive value for PE and the value of VI,FI,and VFI jointly predicted PE,and was higher than that of various parameters(AUC = 0.951).Serum PLGF/sFlt-1,VI,FI,and VFI combined predicted the highest value(AUC=0.987).Conclusion In patients with PE,serum PLGF,sFlt-1,and placental VFI are significantly correlated.Serum PLGF/sFlt-1,placenta VI,FI,and VFI are reduced in early pregnancy,and the combined application of the four indicators has the highest efficacy in predicting PE,providing a possible reference for the early clinical screening or prediction of PE.

Objective To apply cone beam CT measurements(CBCT)to analyze the effect of skeletal Class Ⅲ high angle with devia-tion on upper airway morphology and hyoid position.Methods A total of 120 patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ high angle malocclusion who visited our hospital from September 2019 to December 2022 were selected.CBCT was taken in all subjects.According to the degree of mandibular deviation(MD)of the point under the chin from the median sagittal plane,the 120 patients were divided into three groups:non-migratory,mildly migratory,and severely migratory groups,and the volume of the upper airway as well as the position of the hyoid bone of three groups were measured and analyzed respectively.Results There was no significant difference in the volume and minimum cross-sectional area of the nasopharyngeal segment,palatopharyngeal segment,and minimum cross-sectional area of the laryngopharyngeal segment.No siginificant difference was found between the position of the hyoid bone(HB)on the Y-axis(Y-HB)and the position of the hyoid bone on the Z-axis(Z-HB)among the three groups(P＞0.05).Compared with the other two groups,the vol-ume and total volume of the nasopharyngeal segment,the laryngopharyngeal segment,and minimum cross-sectional area of the laryngo-pharyngeal segment in the group of severe deviation were significantly reduced(P＜0.05)and X-HB was significantly larger(P＜0.05).Conclusion In patients with skeletal ClassⅢhyperkeratosis with severe deviation,the total volume of the glossopharyngeal segment,laryngopharyngeal segment,and upper airway,as well as the minimum cross-sectional area of the glossopharyngeal segment were smal-ler than those of the othertwo groups.In patients with severe deviation,the position of the hyoid bone(HB)in the X-axis(X-HB)was larger than that of the non-migratory group,indicating that migratory jaws mainly affect the morphology of the lingual-pharyngeal seg-ment as well as the laryngopharyngeal segment of the upper airway;the effect of migratory jaws on the hyoid bone is reflected in the X-HB,indicating that migratory jaws can lead to the deviation of the hyoid bone from the median sagittal plane.

Objective:To analyze the proportion of patients with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) after the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients undergoing glaucoma surgery and the factors influencing morbidity.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.The cluster sampling method was used to collect 141 glaucoma patients hospitalized for glaucoma surgery after the outbreak of COVID-19 in Xuzhou First People's Hospital from December 16, 2022, to January 16, 2023, and 231 glaucoma patients hospitalized for surgery in the same 1-month period from 2019 to 2020, 2020 to 2021, 2021 to 2022 through the hospital information system.Ninety-two eyes of 92 patients with acute PACG after the outbreak were selected as a study group, and 21 eyes of 21 patients with acute PACG hospitalized during the same 1-month period from 2021 to 2022 were selected as a control group.The proportion of patients with different types of glaucoma during the observation period was analyzed.The proportion of patients with acute PACG and the clinical characteristics of acute PACG were analyzed, including age, sex, visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and anterior chamber angle status.Epidemiological data such as the use of anti-cold medications, and changes in living habits and moods (including daily water intake and anxiety) of patients after COVID-19 infection were obtained by telephone follow-up.Anxiety levels of patients in the study group were assessed using the Hospital Depression and Anxiety Scale (HADS).The triggering factors of acute PACG attack after the COVID-19 outbreak were analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Xuzhou First People's Hospital (No.xyyll[2023]114).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The proportion of acute PACG patients in Xuzhou First People's Hospital within one month after the outbreak in 2022 to 2023 increased significantly compared with the same period in 2021 to 2022, 2020 to 2021 and 2019 to 2020, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=31.066, 33.331, 20.804; all at P<0.001).There was no statistical significance in the distribution of the number of eyes with different grades of visual acuity, IOP, the number of eyes with IOP ≥30 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and the distribution of the number of eyes with different anterior chamber angles between the two groups (all at P>0.05).Patients in the control group had no history of COVID-19 infection or use of cold medicines at disease onset.During disease onset, all 92 (100%) patients in the study group had positive COVID-19 nucleic acid test results, of which 57 (61.96%) patients had a history of oral anti-cold medication use.During the same period, 49 (100%) hospitalized patients with other types of glaucoma had positive COVID-19 nucleic acid test results, of which 20 (40.82%) patients had a history of oral cold medication.There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients taking oral cold drugs between acute PACG and other types of glaucoma in the study group ( χ2=5.764, P=0.016).During the outbreak of COVID-19, the study group reported that the daily water intake had increased to varying degrees than before.In the study group, 76 patients had anxiety, accounting for 82.6%.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that IOP=19.052+ 0.009×daily water intake+ 0.858×HADS score ( R2=0.780), and the standardized coefficients of daily water intake and HADS score were 0.542 and 0.452, respectively.Daily water intake had a greater effect on IOP than HADS score. Conclusions:The proportion of acute PACG patients among hospitalized surgical glaucoma patients increased significantly after the COVID-19 outbreak, which is related to risk factors such as oral anti-cold medications containing vasoconstrictors or antihistamines, increased daily water intake, anxiety and other lifestyle, and mood changes.

The immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is the only known human genetic disease involving DNA methylation defects.About 50% of the cases are caused by the compound heterozygous mutation of DNMT3B gene.About a hundred cases were reported in the world, but only a few cases came from China.There may be a misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.To the best of our knowledge, no Chinese article systematically discusses the ICF syndrome.This paper aims to review the possible mechanisms, clinical manifestations, genetic characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of the ICF syndrome, and to improve Chinese doctors′ knowledge about this disease.

Children with certain comorbidities and immunocompromising conditions are highly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is an important strategy to reduce death， critical illness and overall disease burden. With the evolving and increasing transmission of SARS-CoV-2， universal vaccination is essential to achieve this goal. Children with special medical conditions are considered as the priorities for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. However， vaccine hesitancy towards the implementation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination currently remains an urgent challenge. In order to promote the sustainable vaccination for those children in Shanghai as well as China， Shanghai municipal center for disease control and prevention， together with the national children’s medical center， children’s hospital of Fudan university and the expert group on immunization planning of the Shanghai preventive medicine association， organized a consensus expert working group to formulate the evidence-based recommendations and implementation suggestions for children with common chronic diseases， allergy history， diseases involving adverse events related to vaccination， and immunocompromising conditions， based on the published evidence of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for populations and children with special medical conditions.

H 1-antihistamines are widely used in the treatment of various allergic diseases, but there are still many challenges in the safe and rational use of H 1-antihistamines in pediatrics, and there is a lack of guidance on the prescription review of H 1-antihistamines for children.In this paper, suggestions are put forward from the indications, dosage, route of administration, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual difference and drug interactions, so as to provide reference for clinicians and pharmacists.

Objective:To investigate the effect of peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet distribution width (PDW) on the clinical prognosis of childhood medulloblastomaMethods:Clinical data and survival data of 76 pediatric patients who were diagnosed as medulloblastoma by post-operative pathology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2009 to December 2016 were collected. Kaplan- Meier method was used to calculate the overall survival(OS) and progression free survival(EFS) rates, Log- rank test was employed to compare the survival rates of different groups, and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results:The log- rank test revealed that 5-year PFS rate and OS rate (22.2%, 22.2%) in the high NLR group (NLR>4.94) were significantly lower than those in the low NLR group (NLR≤4.94) (45.6%, 55.7%), and the differences were statistically significant(PFS: P=0.009, OS: P=0.001), and the 5-year PFS and OS (52.3%, 66.5%) of the high PDW group (PDW>15.90) were significantly higher than those in the low PDW group (PDW ≤ 15.90) (27.1%, 32.5%), and the differences were statistically significant(PFS: P=0.032, OS: P=0.039). Univa-riate analysis showed that the extent of resection (PFS: P=0.006, OS: P=0.009), and postoperative radiotherapy (PFS: P=0.011, OS: P=0.001) and postoperative radiotherapy(PFS: P=0.011, OS: P=0.001) were the factors influencing the prognosis of children with medulloblastoma.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis suggested that no postoperative radiotherapy (PFS: P=0.048, OS: P=0.008), NLR>4.94 (PFS: P=0.023, OS: P=0.003) and PDW≤15.90 (PFS: P=0.028, OS: P=0.006) were the independent risk factors for the prognosis of childhood medulloblastoma. Conclusions:Increased NLR and decreased PDW indicate unfavorable prognosis of the childhood medulloblastoma.Therefore, preoperative NLR and PDW may be the potential prognostic markers for childhood medulloblastoma.
