Objective:To explore the feasibility of the multiple-choice auditory graphical interactive check(MAGIC) screening module in childhood hearing screening in children aged 3 to 6 years. Methods:A hearing screening was conducted on 366 children(732 ears) aged between 3 and 6 years. The screening methods included MAGIC, DPOAE, and acoustic immittance.The cooperation, screening time, pass rate, and correlation of the three screening methods were compared. Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the degree of cooperation among the three screeningmethods(P=0.004).The MAGIC pure tone screening method was 98.6%, the screening DPOAE was 99.5%,and the acoustic immittance screening was 100%. For the screening duration, the MAGIC pure tone screening method was(116.3±59.1)s, the screening DPOAE was(27.2±19.7)s, and the acoustic impedance screening was(24.6±14.6)s. There was a significant statistical significance differences among the three or two groups(P<0.01). The passing rates of MAGIC pure tone screening,screening DPOAE and acoustic immittance screening were 64.7%, 65.4%, and 69.3%, respectively, and there was no significant statistical difference among the three or two groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference between MAGIC pure tone screening method and screening DPOAE(P=0.827>0.05), and acoustic impedance(P=0.653>0.05), while the difference between screening DPOAE and acoustic impedance was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusion:MAGIC pure sound screening method has good feasibility, can comprehensively reflect the hearing level of screened children, and can be promoted for hearing screening in children aged between 3 and 6 years.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction (葛根芩连汤) in treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) from the view of intestinal mucosal epithelial barrier damage and epithelial mesenchymal transition. MethodsSixty male C57BL/6J mice were divided into blank group, model group, western medicine control group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction groups, with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank group, 3% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) was used to induce colitis model by free drinking for 7 days, and on the first day of modelling, 6, 12, and 24 g/(kg·d) of modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction were given to the low-, medium-, and high-dose groups respectively, 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) 100 mg/(kg·d) given by gavage to western medicine control group, and 10 ml/kg distilled water were given to blank and model group by gavage, once a day for 7 days. Body mass of mice was recorded and disease activity index (DAI) scores were performed daily. The mice were anesthetized after 24h of the last administration and the colon was taken to observe the length of colon, HE staining was applied to observe the damage of colonic mucosa and score pathological states, Masson staining to detect the deposition of colonic collagen fibers, immunofluorescence to observe the distribution of F-actin in colonic mucosal epithelium, and immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of tight junction protein ZO-1, Occludin, E-cadherin and Vimentin. ResultsCompared with the blank group at the same time, the percentage of body mass of mice in the model group on day 7 of modelling significantly reduced and the DAI score was significantly increased (P<0.01); compared with the model group at the same time, the body mass of mice in the western medicine control group and all of modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction groups decreased, and the DAI scores of mice in the western medicine control group and the high-dose modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction group decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); compared with the same time of mice in the low-dos Gegen Qinlian Decoction group, the body mass of mice in the high-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group and the western medicine control group significantly elevated (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the length of the colon of mice in the model group was significantly shortened, the pathological score and the percentage of collagen area were significantly increased, the average fluorescence intensity of F-actin was reduced, the protein levels of ZO-1, Occludin and E-cadherin in the colon tissue decreased, and the protein level of Vimentin elevated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the length of colon significantly increased, patholo-gical score, collagen area percentage decreased, ZO-1, Occludin, E-cadherin protein levels increased and Vimentin levels decreased in all medicated groups; the average fluorescence intensity of F-actin increased in the western medicine control group and the middle- and high-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the low-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group, the proportion of collagen fibre area in the middle-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group and the western medicine control group reduced; the mean fluorescence intensity of F-actin increased in the middle-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group; the protein levels of ZO-1 and E-cadherin increased in the western medicine control group, and the protein levels of ZO-1 increased in the high-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group (P<0.05). Compared with the medium-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group, the protein levels of ZO-1 elevated in the high-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group (P<0.05). Comapred with the high-dose Gegen Qinlian Decoction group, level of E-cadherin and Vimentin protein of the western medicine control group increased (P<0.05). ConclusionModified Gegen Qinlian Decoction was able to reduce colonic inflammation and mucosal barrier damage and inhibit the process of epithelial mesenchymal transition in mice models of ulcerative colitis, which may be one of its action mechanisms .

Objective:To analyze the status of anemia at the beginning of dialysis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) adult patients, and to explore the relationship between early dialysis anemia and early survival and long-term survival.Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. The baseline demographic and clinical data of newly admitted MHD patients from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the hemoglobin (Hb) level at the beginning of dialysis, the patients were divided into high Hb group (Hb≥110 g/L), middle Hb group (80 g/L≤Hb<110 g/L) and low Hb group (Hb<80 g/L). The baseline data among the three groups were compared, and the changing trend of Hb level in MHD patients during the 8 years was analyzed. The follow-up ended at peritoneal dialysis, kidney transplantation, death or on December 31, 2021. All-cause death event within 6 months after the initiation of dialysis was defined as early death, while all-cause death event more than 6 months after the initiation of dialysis was defined as long-term death. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the survival rate, and log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates among the three groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis model was used to analyze the association between anemia (Hb<110 g/L) at the beginning of dialysis and both early and long-term mortality.Results:A total of 36 216 MHD patients were included in this study, with age of (61.3±15.5) years old and 22 163 males (61.20%). The Hb at the beginning of dialysis was (89.33±20.89) g/L. The compliance rate of Hb (≥110 g/L) was 16.43% (5 952/36 216). There were 12 232 patients (33.78%), 18 032 patients (49.79%), and 5 952 patients (16.43%) in low Hb group, middle Hb group, and high Hb group, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in gender distribution, age, serum creatinine, blood phosphorus, blood calcium, C-reactive protein, intact parathyroid hormone, blood leukocytes, platelets, serum albumin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and proportions of chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, emporary catheter, long-term catheter and autologous arteriovenous fistula among the three groups (all P<0.05). During the 8-year period, the Hb level had an increased trend steadily each year, and Hb was (88.48±22.07) g/L, (88.52±21.43) g/L, (87.86±21.29) g/L, (88.93±20.69) g/L, (88.87±20.69) g/L, (90.03±20.47) g/L, (90.74±20.31) g/L and (90.31±20.54) g/L year by year. There were 2 176 early deaths (6.01%), and 6 557 long-term deaths (18.10%) by the end of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that early survival rate of low Hb group was significantly lower than those of high Hb group (log-rank test, χ2=57.115, P<0.001) and middle Hb group (log-rank test, χ2=49.918, P<0.001), and long-term survival rates of low Hb group (log-rank test, χ2=107.097, P<0.001) and middle Hb group (log-rank test, χ2=47.430, P<0.001) were significantly lower than that of high Hb group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that Hb<80 g/L at the beginning of dialysis was an independent influencing factor of early death (Hb ≥110 g/L as a reference, HR=1.307, 95% CI 1.096-1.559), and 80 g/L≤Hb<110 g/L and Hb<80 g/L at the beginning of dialysis were the independent influencing factors of long-term death (Hb≥110 g/L as a reference, HR=1.108, 95% CI 1.021-1.203; HR=1.228, 95% CI 1.127-1.339, respectively) in MHD patients. Conclusions:The compliance rate of Hb at the beginning of dialysis in MHD patients is low. Hb <80 g/L at the beginning of dialysis is an independent risk factor of early death, and Hb <110 g/L at the beginning of dialysis is an independent risk factor of long-term death in MHD patients.

Objectives:To verify the reliability and validity of the frailty assessment scale for elderly patients with inguinal hernia and to evaluate the value of its clinical application.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to collect 129 geriatric patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery from January 2018 to January 2023 in nine hospitals in Liaoning Province. There were 120 males and 9 females, of whom 89 patients were 60 to <75 years old, 33 patients were 75 to <85 years old and 7 patients were ≥85 years old. The 129 patients included 11 elderly patients with inguinal hernia who had recovered from preoperative infection with COVID-19. Statistical methods such as Cronbach′s coefficient, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test, Bartlett′s test, Pearson′s correlation analysis, etc. were calculated to verify the reliability indexes such as feasibility, content validity, structural validity, criterion-related validity, internal consistency reliability, and re-test reliability. Taking the 5-item modified frailty index (5-mFI) as the gold standard, the area under the curve was used to analyze the ability of the two scales to predict the occurrence of postoperative acute urinary retention, postoperative delirium, poor incision healing, operative hematoma seroma, and postoperative complications.Results:The frailty assessment scale for elderly patients with inguinal hernia showed good reliability and validity (valid completion rate of 99.2%; item content validity index of 1.000, and the scale content validity index of 1.000; exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 1 principal component, and factor loadings of each item of 0.565 to 0.873; the AUC for frailty diagnosis using 5-mFI as the gold standard of 0.795 ( P<0.01) Cronbach′s coefficient of 0.916, retest reliability coefficient of 0.926), it could effectively predict postoperative acute urinary retention, delirium, hematoma seroma in the operative area and total complications (AUC of 0.746, 0.870, 0.806, and 0.738, respectively; all P<0.05), and prediction efficiency was higher than that of 5-mFI (AUC of 0.694, 0.838, 0.626 and 0.641, P<0.05 for delirium only), but both scales were inaccurate in predicting poor incision healing (AUC of 0.519, P=0.913 for the frailty assessment scale and 0.455, P=0.791 for the 5-mFI). Conclusions:The frailty assessment scale for elderly patients with inguinal hernia is reliable and significantly predicts the occurrence of postoperative adverse events in elderly inguinal hernia patients. The scale can also be used for preoperative frailty assessment in elderly patients with inguinal hernia after rehabilitation from COVID-19 infection.
