ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of Huangjin Shuangshen Jiawei （HJSSJW） granules in treating postoperative anxiety and depression after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） for coronary heart disease and the effects of this medicine on inflammatory cytokines. MethodNinety-four patients diagnosed with anxiety and depression after PCI were randomized into observation and control groups （47 cases） by the double-blind method. On the basis of conventional Western medical treatment， the observation group was treated with HJSSJW granules for 12 weeks， and the control group with the simulant of HJSSJW granules for 12 weeks. The two groups were compared in terms of Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scales （HAMA-14， HAMD-24）， Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory （PSQI）， Seattle Angina Score （SAQ）， TCM symptom scores， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score and response rate， serum levels of hypersensitive-C reactive protein （hs-CPR）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， and interleukin （IL-6）， and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events （MACEs） and adverse reactions. ResultAfter treatment， both groups showed declined scores of HAMA-14， HAMD-24， and PSQI （P<0.05， P<0.01） and the observation group had lower scores of HAMA-14， HAMD-24， and PSQI than the control group （P<0.01）. The scores of SAQ in both groups increased after treatment （P<0.01）， and the observation group had higher score of each dimension than the control group （P<0.05）. The TCM symptom scores decreased in both groups after treatment （P<0.01）， and they were lower in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.05）. The total response rate regarding TCM symptoms in the observation group was higher than that in the control group （χ²=9.225， P<0.01）. After treatment， the levels of hs-CPR， IL-6， and TNF-α became lowered in both groups （P<0.01）， and the observation group had lower levels of hs-CPR， IL-6， and TNF-α than the control group （P<0.05）. The incidence of MACEs in the observation group was lower than that in the control group during the 90 d of the follow-up period （χ²=4.242， P<0.05）. No adverse reactions associated with the use of HJSSJW granules were observed during the trial period. ConclusionHJSSJW granules can alleviate the bad mood， improve sleep， mitigate somatic symptoms， improve the quality of life， reduce inflammatory damage， and improve prognosis， being safe for clinical use in patients with postoperative anxiety and depression after PCI for coronary heart disease.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Background/Aims: The shortage of donor liver hinders the development of liver transplantation. This study aimed to clarify the poor outcomes of functionally marginal liver grafts (FMLs) and provide evidence for the improvement of ischemia-free liver transplantation (IFLT) after FML transplantation. Methods: Propensity score matching was used to control for confounding factors. The outcomes of the control group and FML group were compared to demonstrate the negative impact of FMLs on liver transplantation patients. We compared the clinical improvements of the different surgical types. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we conducted bioinformatic analysis based on transcriptome and single-cell profiles. Results: FMLs had a significantly greater hazard ratio (HR: 1.969, P=0.018) than did other marginal livers. A worse 90-day survival (Mortality: 12.3% vs. 5.0%, P=0.007) was observed in patients who underwent FML transplantation. Patients who received FMLs had a significant improvement in overall survival after IFLT (Mortality: 10.4% vs 31.3%, P=0.006). Pyroptosis and inflammation were inhibited in patients who underwent IFLT. The infiltration of natural killer cells was lower in liver grafts from these patients. Bulk transcriptome profiles revealed a positive relationship between IL-32 and Caspase 1 (R=0.73, P=0.01) and between IL-32 and Gasdermin D (R=0.84, P=0.0012). Conclusions FML is a more important negative prognostic parameter than other marginal liver parameters. IFLT might ameliorate liver injury in FMLs by inhibiting the infiltration of NK cells, consequently leading to the abortion of IL-32, which drives pyroptosis in monocytes and macrophages.

OBJECTIVE To carry out qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile components of Olibanum, Olibanum prepared with vinegar and Olibanum stir-fried with Rush by GC-MS, and the quantitative study of the surface color by RGB model, provide auxiliary reference for the subjective evaluation indexes of Olibanum and its products. METHODS The volatile oil of Olibanum, Olibanum prepared with vinegar and Olibanum stir-fried with Rush were extracted. Explored the difference of volatile components by GC-MS in combination with principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis make a comprehensive analysis. Collected the image information of Olibanum, Olibanum prepared with vinegar and Olibanum stir-fried with Rush, then measured the surface color of them by RGB color model, and counted three color differences. RESULTS The differences of odor among oils might be related to the contents and types of terpenoids and alcohols, especially linalool and 1-octanol. According to surface color determination results, Olibanum stir-fried with Rush was R*76.86%-85.49%, G*61.96%-70.59%, B*38.04%-45.88%; Olibanum prepared with vinegar was R*56.86%-61.57%, G*38.04%-41.96%, B*27.45%-30.59%; Olibanum was R*69.41%-74.51%, G*56.86%-62.35%, B*40.78%-47.06%. By t test, there were significant differences among the three color measurement results, which were consistent with the differences recorded in the corresponding standards for "yellow white" Olibanum, "yellow brown" Olibanum prepared with vinegar, and "golden yellow" Olibanum stir-fried with Rush, indicating that the model was accurate and reliable. CONCLUSION The differences of volatile components and surface color of Olibanum, Olibanum prepared with vinegar and Olibanum stir-fried with Rush are studied to provide reference for character description of Olibanum and its processed products, and to avoid errors caused by traditional subjective evaluation.

Objective:To investigate clinical effects of anterolateral thigh flap with blood supply source of medial femoral perforator in repairing the wounds on extremities.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From October 2018 to June 2021, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopedic Hospital admitted 12 patients (11 males and 1 female, aged 24-64 years) who met the inclusion criteria, and did not have the lateral circumflex femoral artery during anterolateral thigh flap resection, or changed to medial femoral perforator as a source of blood supply due to small perforator to repair the wound with flap transplantation. The wounds were on the upper limbs in 7 cases and on the lower limbs in 5 cases. The wound area after debridement was 8.0 cm×5.0 cm-24.0 cm×6.5 cm, and the applied flap area was 9 cm×6 cm-25 cm×7 cm. During transplantation, the perforating branch or source artery of the flap was anastomosed end to end with the vascular pedicle of the recipient area. Subcutaneous beauty suture was performed on all the donor wounds. After operation, the survival of the flap and vascular crisis were observed; and the wound healing at the donor site was observed. During follow-up, the texture of the flap and complications at the donor site were observed. At the last follow-up, the effect of flap repair was evaluated by using the modified self-made comprehensive efficacy rating table.Results:After operation, all the flaps of patients survived without vascular crisis; the wounds in the donor site healed smoothly. During follow-up of 6 to 26 months, the flaps had good texture; only linear scars remained in the donor area without scar contracture, pain or other discomfort. At the last follow-up, the total score of flap repair effect of 12 patients was 75-95, with an average of 87, of which 5 cases were rated as excellent, 6 cases as good, and 1 case as fair, and the proportion of excellent and good patients was 11/12.Conclusions:The application of anterolateral thigh flap with blood supply from the medial femoral perforator to repair wounds on extremities is an alternative method for the vascular variations such as no descending branch, oblique branch, or small perforator of the lateral circumflex femoral artery during the resection of the anterolateral thigh flap. This operation has the advantages of simple operation, small trauma, and others, which effectively ensures the smooth operation.

ObjectiveTo explore the value of plasma free metanephrines， including metanephrine（MN） and normetanephrine（NMN）， collectively referred to as MNs in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma （PPGL）. MethodsThe study included 1 631 patients suspected of PPGL from December 2014 to December 2020 in SunYat-sen Memorial Hospital. In these subjects， Plasma free MNs were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry（LC-MS/MS） before surgery. Receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves were used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of plasma NMN and MN in the diagnosis of PPGL. ResultsOf the screened patients， 108 patients had pathologically confirmed PPGL and 1 523 patients had definitive diagnoses other than PPGL as a control group. The median value of plasma MN ［0.54（0.17~4.48） nmol/L vs. 0.15（0.11~0.21） nmol/L， P<0.001］ and NMN ［7.48（2.12~15.01） nmol/L vs. 0.32（0.22~0.46） nmol/L， P<0.001］ were significant higher in the PPGL group than in the control group. Using an upper cut-off of 0.395 nmol/L for MN， the sensitivity was 60.2% and the specificity was 97.8%； when using a cut-off of 1.105 nmol/L for NMN， the diagnostic sensitivity was 87.0%， and the specificity was 98.7%. The area under the ROC curve and 95% confidence interval of plasma MN and NMN combined were 0.800（0.743， 0.858）， 0.959（0.932， 0.98） and 0.970（0.944， 0.996）， respectively. Analyzing the false-positive results， it was found that in the control group， 3% of the false-positive cases appeared. The estimated glomerular filtration rate（eGFR） were significantly lower in the false-positive group than in the true-negative group ［74.42（51.04~96.96） mL/min vs. 88.51（72.80~101.83） mL/min， P=0.001］. In 212 patients with eGFR lower than 60 mL/min， the false positive rate was increased to 8%. If the upper limit of the reference interval was increased by 25%， the specificity was increased to 96.7%； when the upper limit of the reference interval was increased by 50%， the specificity was 98.6 %. ConclusionsPlasma free MNs has a great reliability in the diagnosis of PPGL. The negative predictive value is extremely high and close to 100%. Combination analysis of plasma MN and NMN can further improve diagnostic performance. However， a few false positive cases may appear and might be influenced by impaired renal function. In patients with eGFR lower than 60 mL/min， the false positive rate is significantly increasing， which need a 25%-50% increase in the expected upper limit of a reference range to guarantee high specificity.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, etiology and hemagglutinin (HA) gene characteristics of prevalent strains in Shandong Province from 2021 to 2022. Methods: The sentinel surveillance data of influenza-like illness (ILI) were collected in Shandong Province from 2021 to 2022. ILI specimens were detected with Real-Time PCR and virus isolation to explore the distribution of influenza viruses in different months. Three virus strains of each city were selected for gene sequencing, and the HA phylogenetic analysis was carried out. Results: In the surveillance-year from 2021 to 2022, 528 263 ILI cases were totally reported in 54 sentinel hospitals for influenza surveillance in Shandong Province. ILI visiting ratio (ILI%) was 4.07%, with the largest number in 0-4 age group (45.86%). The highly frequent season for ILI was in winter and spring, with a peak in the 52nd week, 2021 (6.62%). Totally, nucleic acid was detected in 26 754 specimens, with a positive rate of 27.10%, all of which were type B Victoria influenza. The positive rate reached a peak in the 49th week, 2021 (63.78%). A total of 295 outbreaks of ILI had been reported, in which 269 were positive for influenza virus. Most of outbreaks occurred in the primary school, with a peak in December. Gene evolution analysis showed that the HA gene in Shandong possessed high homology, 98.6% to 99.5%, with the recommended vaccine strains in 2020-2023, which was divided into two branches, V1A.3a.1 and V1A.3a.2. Conclusion: In the surveillance-year of 2021-2022, influenza is prevalent in December in Shandong Province, with a single circulating strain type. The positive rate of influenza virus and outbreak are higher than those in the previous surveillance-year. The circulating strain possesses high HA gene homology with those of the WHO vaccine recommended strains. However, the overall immune barrier of influenza virus is weak.

Hypoxemia is a common complication of pneumonia, asthma, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in children.Rapid identification of hypoxemia is of great significance for the disposal and management of critical children.Pulse oximetry is recognized by the World Health Organization as the best way to monitor hypoxemia in children, and it can monitor pulse oxygen saturation noninvasively and continuously.Based on the related literature at home and abroad, combined with the clinical needs of pediatrics, the " Expert consensus on clinical application of pulse oximetry in children" is formulated to improve the understanding of pediatricians and nurses on the application in pediatric clinical practice, principle, operation techniques, and limitations of pulse oximetry.

Objective:To summarize the effect of Chinese Children′s Cancer Group (CCCG) Wilms tumor (WT)-2015 protocol.Methods:This was a prospective study. CCCG-WT-2015 protocol was revised on the basis of the CCCG-WT-2009 protocol. Clinical data of 288 children diagnosed with newly diagnosed kidney neoplasms in fourteen pediatric centers between September 2015 to December 2018 were summarized. The age of onset, distribution of pathological subtypes, staging, curative effect and prognostic factors of these children were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival curve and Log-Rank method was used for univariate analysis.Results:Among 288 cases with kidney neoplasms, there were 261 cases of WT, including 254 cases (97.3%) with favorable histology (FH) WT and 7 cases (2.7%) with unfavorable histology WT (UFHWT). The 3 year events free survival (EFS) rate for FHWT and UFHWT were (88.9±2.1)% and (80.0±17.9)%, which were better than that in WT-2009 (81.2% and 71.7%). In the 96 cases of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ FHWT with indications for radiotherapy, 76 cases received radiation, another 20 cases received M protocol chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, etoposide, gentamycin, vincristine and adriamycin) instead of radiation. The 3 year EFS rate for these two groups were (84.7±4.3)% and (84.7±8.1)%(χ 2=0.015, P=0.902). There were 22 renal clear cell sarcoma and 5 malignant rhabdoid tumor, 3 year EFS rate of them was (94.4±5.4)% and (20.0±17.9)%. Univariate analysis was performed for age, gender, pathological type, stage, whether rupture occurred during operation, whether complete remission (CR) occurred at the end of treatment and radiotherapy. Pathological types (χ 2=44.329, P<0.01) and failure to achieve CR at the end of the treatment (χ 2=49.459, P<0.01) were independent factor for predicting survival. Conclusion:Compared with CCCG-WT-2009, treatment of renal tumors in CCCG-WT-2015 study yielded good survival outcome, which can be further applied.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical value of urinary aldosterone concentration(UAC) in primary aldosteronism(PA) screening and to evaluate the consistency of the two methods, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) and chemiluminescence immunosorbent assay(CLIA), for determining UAC. 【Methods】 Among the 133 patients with suspected PA enrolled from October 2018 to August 2019, 55 were diagnosed with PA(30 with aldosteroneproducing adenoma and 25 with bilateral idiopathic hyperplasia) and 78 with essential hypertension(EH). Parallel determination of UAC was done with LC-MS/MS and CLIA assays on all subjects, then we compared the two methods and evaluated their correlation and consistency. Reciever operating characteristic(ROC) analysis was applied to assess the diagnostic accuracies, area under the curve(AUC) and cutoff values of UAC, plasma aldosterone concentration(PAC), random aldosterone to renin ratio(ARR) and urine aldosterone to renin ratio(UARR). Furthermore, ROC analysis of high urine sodium subgroup(urine sodium≥130 mmol/24h) was performed to evaluate the impact of sodium intake on PA screening. 【Results】 ①UACCLIA and UACLC-MS/MS were positively correlated(r=0.69, P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis showed poor consistency between CLIA and LC-MS/MS. ②The diagnostic efficiency of UAC and PAC in PA screening was equivalent (P > 0.05), while ARR was more efficient than UAC and PAC(P < 0.0001). AUC of UACCLIA, UACLC-MS/MS, PAC and ARR was 0.739, 0.659, 0.723, 0.943, respectively. The cutoff values for them were 5.1 μg/24 h, 11.6 μg/24 h, 27.6 ng/dL and 23.2 ng·dL^-1(/ μg·L^-1·h^-1), respectively. ③Both UARRCLIA and UARRLC-MS/MS performed as well as ARR in PA screening. AUC of UARRCLIA was 0.924 at the cutoff value of 1.75 μg·24h^-1(/ μg·L^-1·h^-1). While AUC of UARRLC-MS/MS was 0.906 at the cutoff value of 4.63 μg·24h^-1(/ μg·L^-1·h^-1). AUC of UACLC-MS/MS in high urine sodium subgroup was 0.708 at the cutoff of 14.9 μg/ 24 h. ④The diagnostic efficiency of UAC made no difference after sodium intake increased to 130 mmol/24 h or higher. 【Conclusion】 UAC alone is of little clinical value compared to ARR in PA screening and can serve as a supplementary indicator currently. But UARR, a combintion of UAC and plasma renin activity(PRA), is as valuable as ARR for screening PA. The optimal cutoff values of UACLC-MS/MS and UACCLIA are 11.6 μg/24 h, 5.1 μg/24 h, respectively. The optimal cutoff values of UARRLC-MS/MS and UARRCLIA are 4.63 μg·24 h^-1/(μg·L^-1·h^-1) and 1.75 μg·24 h^-1/(μg·L^-1·h^-1), respectively. Besides, significant bias of UAC observed in CLIA and LC-MS/MS results indicates that appropriate definition of cutoff value and reference range for each method are mandatory.
