Objective:To investigate the characteristics of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with non-acute asthma exacerbations, to assess their cardiopulmonary health and to provide a basis for improvement.Methods:A case-control study.Sixty-one children with non-acute asthma exacerbations treated at the Outpatient Department of Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from October 2022 to December 2023 and 22 control children during the same period were included.Binary Logistic regression was employed to assess risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with asthma.Results:Among the included 61 children with non-acute asthma exacerbations, there were 33 cases in the chronic persistent phase (chronic persistent phase group) and 28 in the clinical remission phase(clinical remission group).There were 22 children in the control group.During the peak exercise phase of the cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the mean kilogram body weight oxygen uptake (VO 2/kg), the percentage of predicted kilogram body weight oxygen uptake, and metabolic equivalents (Met) in the chronic persistent phase group were lower than those in the control and clinical remission phase groups.The mean VO 2/kg recovery from the cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the first minute in the chronic persistent phase group was lower than that in the control and clinical remission phase groups.The median Met and ventilation per minute recovery in the chronic persistent phase group were lower than those in the control group.The median heart rate recovery in asthma children was lower than that in control children.The percentage of cardiopulmonary exercise testing abnormalities was higher in asthma children with symptoms after excise than that in asthma children without symptoms after excise.The percentage of decreased ventilation efficiency in asthma children with symptoms after excise was higher than that in asthma children without symptoms after excise.Multivariate regression analysis showed that a higher body mass index (BMI) ( OR=1.577, 95% CI: 1.113-2.235, P=0.010) and a higher peak respiratory reserve ( OR=1.103, 95% CI: 1.018-1.195, P=0.017) were risk factors of decreased aerobic capacity.The risk of decreased aerobic capacity in the chronic persistent phase was 7.949 times higher than that in the clinical remission phase ( OR=7.949, 95% CI: 1.290-48.996, P=0.025). Conclusions:The aerobic capacity is decreased and ventilatory recovery is slower in children with chronic persistent asthma than those in healthy children.The heart rate recovery in asthma children is slower than that in healthy children.A high BMI, a high peak respiratory reserve, and chronic persistence of asthma are independent risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with non-acute asthma exacerbations.asthma.

Objective To understand the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia in electronics factory workers in Wuhan, and to provide evidence for the health protection of electronics factory workers. Methods A total of 1 415 employees in an electronics factory in Wuhan were selected as the research subjects, and the physical examination and determination of various biochemical indicators, as well as questionnaire survey were carried out. Results The detection rate of hyperuricemia among workers in the electronics factory in Wuhan was 32.43%, with 36.33% for men and 14.11% for women, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ²＝46.077，P＜0.001). The detection rate of hyperuricemia was the highest (33.77%) among those with university or college education, followed by graduate students and above (31.50%). Compared with subjects with good lifestyle habits, people with drinking habits had higher hyperuricemia detection rate (49.38%), and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001). The detection rates of hyperuricemia in those with central obesity and elevated alanine aminotransferase were 48.23% and 61.29%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the subjects without the above diseases (26.91% and 27.21%, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.001). Obese people had the highest detection rate of hyperuricemia (66.95%), followed by overweight people (43.75%), and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that alcohol drinking (OR=1.836, 95% CI=1.139-2.961, P =0.013) and body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m² (OR=2.175, 95% CI=1.686 -2.806, P <0.001) were risk factors for hyperuricemia in electronic factory workers. Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was significantly correlated with hyperuricemia (OR=2.964, 95%CI=2.146-4.095 , P <0.001). Female gender was a protective factor for hyperuricemia in workers in the electronics factory (OR=0.441, 95%CI=0.297-0.653 , P <0.001). Conclusion The detection rate of hyperuricemia among workers in an electronics factory in Wuhan is high, and the detection rate of hyperuricemia in men is higher than that in women. Alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity will increase the risk of hyperuricemia. Elevated ALT is associated with hyperuricemia. Maintaining an ideal body mass index and establishing a good lifestyle play an important role in preventing hyperuricemia.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (IALL).Methods:A retrospective cohort study.Clinical data, treatment and prognosis of 28 cases of IALL who have been treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University and Baoding Children′s Hospital from October 2013 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), all patients were divided into KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R) positive group and KMT2A-R negative group. The prognosis of two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test were used to analyze the survival of the patients.Results:Among 28 cases of IALL, there were 10 males and 18 females, with the onset age of 10.9 (9.4,11.8) months. In terms of immune classification, 25 cases were B-ALL (89%), while the remaining 3 cases were T-ALL (11%). Most infant B-ALL showed pro-B lymphocyte phenotype (16/25,64%). A total of 22 cases (79%) obtained chromosome karyotype results, of which 7 were normal karyotypes, no complex karyotypes and 15 were abnormal karyotypes were found. Among abnormal karyotypes, there were 4 cases of t (9; 11), 2 cases of t (4; 11), 2 cases of t (11; 19), 1 case of t (1; 11) and 6 cases of other abnormal karyotypes. A total of 19 cases (68%) were positive for KMT2A-R detected by FISH. The KMT2A fusion gene was detected by real-time PCR in 16 cases (57%). A total of 24 patients completed standardized induction chemotherapy and were able to undergo efficacy evaluation, 23 cases (96%) achieved complete remission through induction chemotherapy, 4 cases (17%) died of relapse. The 5-year event free survival rate (EFS) was (46±13)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was (73±10)%.The survival time was 31.3 (3.3, 62.5) months. There was no significant statistical difference in 5-year EFS ((46±14)% vs. (61±18)%) and 5-year OS ((64±13)% vs. (86±13)%) between the KMT2A-R positive group (15 cases) and the KMT2A-R negative group (9 cases) ( χ2=1.88, 1.47, P=0.170, 0.224). Conclusions:Most IALL patients were accompanied by KMT2A-R. They had poor tolerance to traditional chemotherapy, the relapse rate during treatment was high and the prognosis was poor.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic value of interventional methods for hemorrhage caused by mandibular arteriovenous malformations. Methods: The clinical data of 7 patients (3 males and 4 females) with mandibular arteriovenous malformations treated by interventional therapy from January 2012 to January 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Of all patients, 4 patients suffered from sudden massive hemorrhage and 3 patients suffered from spontaneous repeated bleeding. The age ranged from 8.0 to 13.0 (10.6±1.7) years. Of the 7 patients, 3 underwent interventional embolization via arteries and veins, and 4 underwent embolization only via arteries. The embolic materials were polyvinyl alcohol granules and coils. The follow-up period was 9—18 months and the curative effect was observed. Results: Among the 7 patients, 4 cases of acute massive hemorrhage were effectively controlled after interventional operation, 3 cases of chronic bleeding disappeared after interventional operation. No recurrence of bleeding occurred during the follow-up period, only 1 patient presented with oral infection and gingival swelling and hyperplasia. The symptoms were effectively controlled after anti-infection and debridement. No severe complications occurred in all patients. Conclusion Interventional therapy for ateriovenous malformation with hemorrhage is effective, safe and feasible, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective: To understand the status quo of social support for and social adaptation of HIV/AIDS patients in Henan province, analyze the relationship between social support and social adaptation, and provide reference for improving the quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was adopted to select HIV/AIDS patients in high HIV prevalence areas (Shangcai, Shenqiu), middle epidemic areas (Queshan, Yongcheng), low prevalence areas (Jiyuan, Sanmenxia) in Henan province. A social support scale was used to investigate the three dimensions of objective support, subjective support and support utilization. A social adaptation scale was used to investigate the three dimensions of patient cognitive willingness, social interaction and role adaptation. Finally, the characteristics of the social support, social adaptation and their relationships were analyzed. Results: The overall score of 506 HIV/AIDS patients’ social support was 36.30±9.34, the score of objective support was 7.48±3.01, the score of subjective support was 22.35±5.79, and the score of support utilization was 6.28±2.38, the overall score and the scores of three dimensions of social support of HIV/AIDS patients were lower than the national levels, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The overall score of patients’ social adaptation was39.10±7.10, the score of cognitive willingness was 9.96±3.23, the score of social interaction was 18.57±3.25, and the score of role adaptation was 10.57±2.52. The average score of social adaptation of patients was less than 2/3 of the overall score, and the average cognitive willingness score was less than 1/2 of the overall score. The differences in social support score and social adaptation score among patients with different gender, age, marital status, occupation, transmission route, number of symptoms were statistically significant (P<0.05). For the HIV/AIDS patients, there was a correlation between the social support and the social adaptation (r=0.14, P<0.05). Conclusion HIV/AIDS patients had a low level of social support and social adaptation, and social support might be a contributing factor to the social adaptation of HIV/AIDS patients.

Objective To analyze pathological and ultrasound imaging features of breast cancer in young women. Methods The pathological and ultrasound imaging data of 42 young female breast cancer patients(≤35 years old,the young group)between January 2016 and October 2017 from the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, 62 elder female breast cancer patients (> 60 years old, the elder group) simultaneously diagnosed by pathology (age≥60 years) were randomly selected as the control group. Results The vessel carcinoma embolus rate and lymph node metastasis positive rate in the young group were higher than those in the elder group [31.0 % (13/42) vs. 29.0 %(18/62),59.5 %(25/42)vs.38.7 %(24/62)],and there was no difference between the two groups(χ2=16.187, χ2= 5.749, both P< 0.05). Compared with the elder group, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) in the young group was lower (χ2= 11.598, P = 0.001). The positive rates of Ki-67 and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) in the young group were higher (χ2= 5.396, P = 0.024; χ2= 5.166, P =0.026). Inhomogeneous internal echo of breast cancer, microcalcifications, flow classification (grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ) and resistance index (RI) ratio in the young group were higher than those in the elder group [83.3 % (35/42) vs. 59.7 % (37/62), P = 6.576; 57.1 % (24/42) vs. 22.6 % (14/62), P = 12.899; 78.6 % (33/42) vs. 58.1 % (36/62), P = 4.716; 83.3 % (35/42) vs. 59.7 % (37/62), P= 6.578], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The young female breast cancer patients have a higher rate of malignancy,invasion and metastasis rate compared with the elder breast cancer patients.
