Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), and to analyze the changes and trends of perioperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium and serum phosphorus, and the predictive value of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) measurement for surgical completion. To provide practical theoretical basis and reference for postoperative treatment of SHPT.Methods:Data of 479 SHPT patients admitted to the First Hospital of Harbin from Dec. 2012 to Dec. 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the admission criteria, 457 patients were screened out and divided into PTX group and incomplete PTX group based on whether the level of postoperative parathyroid hormone was reduced to the normal standard. The levels of iPTH, serum calcium and phosphorus during the perioperative period in the two groups were statistically analyzed. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data processing. P<0.05 indicated statistically significant difference. Results:In the analyzed group of 457 patients, the average age was (45.43±11.25) years and the average dialysis age was (90.3±35.8) months. Hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperkalemia and high alkaline phosphatase levels accounted for 41.79%, 94.31%, 20.35% and 75.50%, respectively. Bone loss and osteoporosis accounted for 35.45% and 62.36%, respectively. The incidence of restless leg syndrome was 7.67%. IoPTH and post-operative iPTH level in the PTX group were significantly lower than those in the incomplete PTX group ( P=0.001, P<0.001). IoPTH≤150 pg/mL can predict surgical success, and 58.33% of cases can predict surgical failure by ioPTH being 30% higher than preoperative iPTH. There were significant differences in serum calcium and phosphorus levels between the two groups at 3 hours and 2 days after operation. The incidence of hypocalcemia was 43.19% and 82.49% on the day of operation and within 3 days after operation, and the incidence of hungry bone syndrome was 62.12% in the PTX group. The incidence of postoperative hyperkalemia, arteriovenous fistula thrombosis, temporary hoarseness, bleeding and in-hospital mortality was 43.33%, 1.75%, 0.66%, 0.44% and 0.22%, respectively. Conclusions:Parathyroidectomy is an effective and safe treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism, and ioPTH plays an important role in predicting the success of surgery. Timely and effective calcium supplementation is an important measure to prevent the serious occurrence and morbidity of bone hunger syndrome.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis of flunarizine-induced parkinsonism from gut-brain axis perspective.Methods:Thirty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group and flunarizine group ( n=15). Mice in the control group were given 0.1 mL 50% polyethylene glycol 400+50% saline by gavage once/d for 2 weeks, while mice in the flunarizine group were given 6 mg/mL flunarizine+50% polyethylene glycol 400+50% saline by gavage at a daily dose of 30 mg/kg for 2 weeks. Body mass was recorded 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 d after drug administration, and motor function was assessed by rotarod test 14 d after drug administration; 16s RNA sequencing was performed in the feces to observe the intestinal flora; intestinal transit function was detected by Evans blue by gavage; and then, the mice were sacrificed and homogenate or frozen sections (brain and intestinal tissues) were prepared; dopamine-ergic neuron expression was detected by Western blotting; RT-qPCR was applied to detect the expressions of inflammatory factors in the substantia nigra, and immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the expressions of ZO-1 and Claudin-5 in the intestinal epithelial tissues. Results:Compared with the control group, the flunarizine group had lower body mass ratio 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 d after drug administration (ratio to body mass before drug administration). Compared with the control group, the flunarizine group had significantly shortened residence time in rod rotating and lower rotational speed when falling ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the flunarizine group had decreased tyrosine hydroxylase protein in the substantia nigra without significant difference ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the flunarizine group had significantly increased interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in the substantia nigra (1.00±0.00 vs. 2.79±0.83; 1.00±0.00 vs. 3.39±1.37), significantly lower intestinal Evans blue propulsion rate (80.67%±4.51% vs. 50.67%±6.03%), and statistically decreased ZO-1 and Claudin-5 expressions in the colonic epithelial tissues (27.01±1.41 vs. 16.32±2.83; 37.00±2.80 vs. 24.52±2.12, P<0.05). Totally, 576 microorganisms were noted in both control group and flunarizine group, 744 in the control group alone, and 634 in the flunarizine group alone. The intestinal flora β diversity indices in the 2 groups were significantly different based on weighted Unifrac-principle coordinates analysis (PCoA, PCoA1: 39.88%; PCoA2: 30.69%). Compared with the control group, the microbial colony structure of mice in flunarizine group was dominated by phylum thick-walled bacteria and phylum warty microbacteria, and by families Muribaculaceae, Lachnospiraceae and Akkermansiaceae. Compared with the control group, the flunarizine group had significantly decreased relative abundance of Ackermannia spp. and Lactobacillus spp. in the intestinal flora ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Flunarizine may contribute to the pathogenesis of DIP by causing structural disturbances in the intestinal flora and inducing neuroinflammation based on the gut-brain axis.

Objective:To explore the role of systematic wound management in the treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) /toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) in children.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 5 children with SJS/TEN, who were admitted to the Department of Dermatology, Tianjin Children′s Hospital from October 2019 to August 2021, and retrospectively analyzed to investigate the role of systematic management of the skin and mucosa wound besides drug therapy in the treatment of SJS/TEN.Results:The 5 patients, including 1 case of SJS, 1 case of SJS/TEN overlap syndrome, and 3 cases of TEN, were aged 2 to 13 years, and were cured and discharged after the treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone and systematic wound management.

By June 2021, all the 5 children received follow-up for at least 40 weeks, no recurrence was observed during the treatment period, and no infections, malignant tumors or other serious adverse reactions occurred.Conclusion:Adalimumab combined with acitretin shows rapid onset of action and high safety in the treatment of childhood generalized pustular psoriasis.

Objective To evaluate the value of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 E6 protein detection in shunting and prognosis in patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Methods A total of 98 patients with ASCUS or LSIL from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between May 2014 and May 2015 were selected as the subjects. All of them received the thin-cytologic test (TCT), HPV DNA, HPV16/18 E6 protein tests and colposcopy examination. After 3-year follow-up of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade Ⅰor bellow lesions diagnosed by biopsy and 30 negative controls, the above tests were performed again. The efficacies of all the tests were analyzed. The value of CIN grade Ⅱ or above was predicted. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value in predicting CIN grade Ⅱor above lesions of HPV16/18 E6 protein , HPV DNA and HPV16/18 DNA was 30.8％, 95.3％, 50.0％, 90.0％, respectively; 84.6％, 37.6％, 17.2％, 94.1％, respectively and 61.5％, 67.1％, 22.2％, 91.9％, respectively in shunting study. The relative risk (RR) of CIN grade Ⅱor above lesions in patients with positive HPV16/18 E6 protein, persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA and positive HPV16/18 DNA was 13.429, 10.231 and 8.343, respectively in the follow-up study. Odds ratio (OR) of HPV16/18 E6 positive protein presenting persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA was 34.833 (95％ CI 5.020-241.711). Conclusions In patients with ASCUS and LSIL, the specificity and positive predictive value of HPV16/18 E6 protein in predicting CIN grade Ⅱ or above lesions are higher than those of HPV DNA and HPV16/18 DNA. Moreover, these patients with HPV16/18 E6 protein positive have a higher risk of developing CIN grade Ⅱ or above lesions and persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA.

Objective To investigate the iodine intake level and the prevalence of thyroid nodules in Harbin City,and to study the correlation between the concentration of urinary iodine and the prevalence of thyroid nodules.Methods In Harbin,18 communities were randomly selected and specimens were collected from fasting morning urine from 2015 to 2017.The urine iodine concentration (UIC) was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry,and the thyroid nodule was examined by B ultrasound.Results A total of 2 552 residents aged (45.79 ± 12.06) years old agreed to participate in the study,including 371 males and 2 181 females.The median UIC in all participants was 159.8 μg/L,there was a significant difference in urine iodine frequency distribution among age groups (x2 =40.097,P ＜ 0.01).Furthermore,the median UIC in male was 166.6 μg/L,and in female was 156.2 μg/L.There was a significant difference in UICs between male and female (U =2.122,P ＜ 0.05).The prevalence of total thyroid nodules in all participants was 48.75％ (1 244/2 552),and the standardized rate was 40.55％.Significant difference in the detection rate of thyroid nodules was observed among age groups (x2 =114.922,P ＜ 0.01),and there was a positive and significant correlation between the detection rate of thyroid nodules and increasing age (xtrand =111.746,P ＜ 0.01).Furthermore,in male,41.24％ (153/371) had thyroid nodules,with standardized prevalence rate of 41.13％,and in female,50.02％ (1 091/2 181) had thyroid nodules,with standardized prevalence rate of 49.20％.Likewise,there was a significant difference in the detection rate of thyroid nodules between male and female(x2 =9.790,P ＜ 0.01).The detection rate of thyroid nodules in the iodine deficient population (urinary iodine was 0-＜ 100 μg/L) was 55.58％ (244/439),and the incidence of thyroid nodules in the iodine adequate or optimal population (urinary iodine was 100-＜ 200 μg/L) was 46.68％ (591/1 266).Conclusions The total iodine level of the population in Harbin City of Heilongjiang Province is at adequate level.The detection rate of thyroid nodules is high and it is increased with age.The detection rate of thyroid nodules is higher in female than male.Regular detection of urine iodine and adjusting iodine nutrition will help prevent thyroid nodules.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM) in the diagnosis of several common diseases manifesting as papules in children, including lichen nitidus, verruca planae, lichen striatus, milium, molluscum contagiosum and lichen pilaris. Methods A total of 579 children clinically characterized by papules were recruited into this study. RCM was used to observe lesions and perilesional normal skin. The RCM features of 6 diseases manifesting as papules were analyzed and compared. Results Based on RCM images, 236 patients were diagnosed with lichen nitidus, 70 with verruca planae, 123 with lichen striatus, 40 with milium, 53 with molluscum contagiosum and 57 with lichen pilaris. All the 6 diseases had typical RCM features. Concretely speaking, RCM images of lichen nitidus lesions showed infiltration of dense inflammatory cells and melanophages in enlarged dermal papillae. In RCM images of verruca planae lesions, cells in the granular and spinous layers were arranged in concentric circles, giving a rose cluster?like appearance. RCM images of lichen striatus lesions revealed focal swelling of stratum spinosum, absent or local liquifaction degeneration of basal cells, and clustering of a moderate number of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis. In RCM images of milium lesions, well?circumscribed round or oval structures containing highly but nonuniformly refractive materials could be seen in the dermis. RCM images of molluscum contagiosum lesions showed intact cystoid structures containing highly refractive molluscum bodies. Lowly to moderately refractive cutin ? like materials were observed along with the dilation of hair follicle infundibula in RCM images of lichen pilaris lesions. In RCM images, the 6 diseases were distinguished mainly based on structural features(patterns and refractivity)of skin lesions shown by continuous vertical scanning. Conclusion RCM is of great value to the diagnosis of diseases manifesting as papules in children.

Objective To evaluate the significance of human papillomavirus L1 capsid protein (HPVL1) and human telomerase RNA component (hTERC) gene in the cytologic specimens of cervix which was infected by the high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HR-HPV),and to expose their relationship with cervical lesions.Methods The fluorescence signal of cytologic samples of cervix were detected by interphase FISH in chromosome enumeration double-color DNA probes TERC.The expression of HPVL1 capsid protein was detected by MaxVision immunohistochemistry method.300 samples were analyzed with HR-HPV positive from the cervical biopsy.The diagnoses as normal or chronic inflammation (n =45),cervical intraepithelial lesions Ⅰ grade (CIN Ⅰ,n =95),CIN Ⅱ (n =58),CIN Ⅲ (n =64),and squamous cervical cancer (SCC,n =37).Results The percentage of HPVL1 positive rates in normal or chronic inflammation,CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and SCC groups were 58.70 ％ (27/46),63.16 ％ (60/95),37.93 ％ (22/58),10.94 ％ (7/64) and 0 (0/37),respectively.The percentage of HPVL1 decreased along with the increase of severity of the cervical intraepithelial lesions.Genomic amplification of hTERC positive rates in normal or chronic inflammation,CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ,CIN Ⅲ and SCC groups were 6.52 ％ (3/46),11.58 ％ (11/95),51.72 ％ (30/58),85.94 ％ (55/64) and 100.00 ％ (37/37),respectively.The percentage of hTERC increased along with the severity of the cervical intraepithelial lesions (rs =0.302,P ＜ 0.01).The percentage of HPVL+/hTERC-was 57.89 ％ in CIN Ⅰ group and 4.69 ％ in CIN Ⅲ group.The percentage of HPVL-/hTERC+ was 6.32 ％ in CIN Ⅰ group and 79.69 ％ in CIN Ⅲ group.Conclusion The detection of HPVL1 and hTERC are important for assisting cervical lesions screening and monitoring of disease progression in the HR-HPV positive cytologic specimens.
