OBJECTIVE:
To study the correlation and clinical value of the arc height of upper and lower endplates, the height of intervertebral space and osteophyte of posterior edge of intervertebral space in patients with cervical spondylosis.
METHODS:
A total of 108 patients with cervical spondylosis who underwent cervical spondylosis surgery from September 2017 to September 2018 were included in the study. Including 48 males with an average age of 52 years (30 to 72) and 60 females with an average age of 54 years (37 to 79). Among them, C of 6 cases, C of 15 cases, C of 32 cases, C of 42 cases, C of 13 cases. X-ray films of cervical spine were taken before and after operation. The images were accessed by PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) system. The lower and upper endplate arc heights (L, L), intervertebral space height (L), and posterior osteophyte width (L) were measured. Spearman was used to analyze the correlation between them.
RESULTS:
L was negatively correlated with L (r=-0.34, <0.05), L was negatively correlated with L (=-0.36, <0.05). L was positively correlated with L (=0.38, <0.05), L was positively correlated with L (=0.48, <0.05). There was no significant difference between L and L (>0.05), L and L (>0.05).
CONCLUSION
The arc height of the lower endplate is negatively correlated with the width of osteophyte in the posterior margin of the intervertebral space. The cervical degeneration degree can be determined by measuring the arc height of the lower endplate, which has guiding significance for the early prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis.

The current epidemic situation of corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) still remained severe. As the National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine is the primary medical care center for COVID-19 inZhejiang Province. Based on the present expert consensus carried out by National Health Commission and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our team summarized and established an effective treatment strategy centered on "Four-Anti and Two-Balance" for clinical practice. The "Four-Anti and Two-Balance"strategy included antivirus, anti-shock, anti-hyoxemia, anti-secondary infection, and maintaining of water, electrolyte and acid base balance and microecological balance. Meanwhile, integrated multidisciplinarypersonalized treatment was recommended to improve therapeutic effect. The importance of early viralogical detection, dynamic monitoring of inflammatory indexes and chest radiograph was emphasized in clinical decision-making. Sputum was observed with the highest positive rate of RT-PCR results. Viral nucleic acids could be detected in10% patients'blood samples at acute periodand 50% of patients had positive RT-PCR results in their feces. We also isolated alive viral strains from feces, indicating potential infectiousness of feces.Dynamic cytokine detection was necessary to timely identifyingcytokine storms and application of artificial liver blood purification system. The "Four-Anti and Two-Balance"strategyeffectively increased cure rate and reduced mortality. Early antiviral treatment could alleviate disease severity and prevent illness progression, and we found lopinavir/ritonavir combined with abidol showed antiviraleffects in COVID-19. Shock and hypoxemia were usually caused by cytokine storms. The artificial liver blood purification system could rapidly remove inflammatory mediators and block cytokine storm.Moreover, it also favoredthe balance of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base and thus improved treatment efficacy in critical illness. For cases of severe illness, early and also short periods of moderate glucocorticoid was supported. Patients with oxygenation index below 200 mmHg should be transferred to intensive medical center. Conservative oxygen therapy was preferred and noninvasive ventilation was not recommended. Patients with mechanical ventilation should be strictly supervised with cluster ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention strategies. Antimicrobial prophylaxis should be prescribed rationally and was not recommended except for patients with long course of disease, repeated fever and elevated procalcitonin (PCT), meanwhile secondary fungal infection should be concerned.Some patients with COVID-19 showed intestinal microbialdysbiosis with decreasedprobiotics such as and . Nutritional and gastrointestinal function should be assessed for all patients.Nutritional support and application of prebiotics or probiotics were suggested to regulate the balance of intestinal microbiota and reduce the risk of secondary infection due to bacterial translocation. Anxiety and fear were common in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, we established dynamic assessment and warning for psychological crisis. We also integrated Chinese medicine in treatment to promote disease rehabilitation through classification methods of traditional Chinese medicine. We optimized nursing process for severe patients to promote their rehabilitation. It remained unclear about viral clearance pattern after the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, two weeks' quarantine for discharged patients was required and a regular following up was also needed.The Zhejiang experience above and suggestions have been implemented in our center and achieved good results. However, since COVID-19 was a newly emerging disease, more work was warranted to improve strategies of prevention, diagnosis and treatment for COVID-19.

Objective To analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of anxiety and depression among pregnant women in Jianyang City. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 322 pregnant women in Jianyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Jianyang City. The depression and anxiety of the participants were measured with self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS),and the degree of social support was measured with social support rating scale (SSRS). Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between anxiety, depression and social support. The chi square ( 2) test and the non-conditional Logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of anxiety and depression. Results Anxiety rate and depression rate of pregnant women in Jianyang city were 5.3% and 5.6% respectively. There was a negative correlation between anxiety, depression and social support (P<0.05). Absence of prenatal examination (OR=4.554, 95% CI: 1.063-19.510) was a risk factor for anxiety among pregnant women in Jianyang City. Late pregnancy (OR=5.381, 95% CI: 1.422-20.363) and medium degree of social support (OR=4.150, 95% CI: 1.198-14.375) were risk factors for depression among pregnant women in Jianyang City. Junior high school (OR=0.015, 95% CI: 0.001-0.275), high school or technical secondary school (OR=0.004, 95% CI: 0.001-0.128), junior college or above (OR=0.053, 95% CI: 0.003-0.851) were protective factors for depression. Conclusions The prevelance of anxiety and depression in pregnant women cannot be ignored. It is important to carry out mental health intervention according to the above factors.

Objective:
To examine the effects of Berberine(BBR)on inflammatory pathways related to endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)in the penumbra area following focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in type 2 diabetic rats.
Methods:
A total of 72 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet and injected with streptozotocin to establish a type 2 diabetes mellitus model.The diabetic rats were randomly divided by digital lottery method into a Sham operation group(Sham group), a diabetic rat + BBR treatment group(BBR group), a diabetic middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)model group(MCAO group), and a diabetic rats MCAO + BBR treatment group(MCAO + BBR group). Six rats were included in each group.The two treatment groups received prespecified doses of BBR through gastric perfusion at 48 h, 24 h before surgery, and 6h after surgery.The MCAO model was prepared by a suture occlusion method.The neurological deficit scores were performed, and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The mRNA expression of ERS marker protein GRP78 was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR), and the expression of ERS-related inflammatory pathway proteins[78 Glucoseregulated protein(GRP78)、Pancreatic endoplasmic reticulum Rinase(PERK)、nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)]was detected by Western blot.
Results:
the cerebral ischemic penumbra area, after 2 h of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion, the neurological deficit score in the MCAO group was higher than that in the MACO+ BBR group [(2.83±0.41)

Objective:
To establish and evaluate diagnostic efficacy and applicability of serum Golgi protein (GP) 73 based non-invasive diagnostic model with other conventional serological indicators for compensated stage hepatitis B cirrhosis.
Methods:
666 cases with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who had visited to the Fifth Medical Center of People’s Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2010 to December 2017 were selected as the study subjects, and were classified according to compensated stage cirrhosis into clinical and pathological diagnosis group based on whether or not the liver histological examination was performed. A diagnostic model of compensated stage hepatitis B cirrhosis in the clinical diagnosis group was established. The current clinically used diagnostic model of liver cirrhosis, aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index (APRI), fibrosis index (FIB)-4 and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) were compared. Eventually, the diagnostic model was verified step by step by pathological diagnosis group.
Results:
The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of GP73 and APRI, FIB-4, and LSM for cirrhosis patients in the clinical diagnosis group were 0.842, 0.857, 0.864, and 0.832, respectively. The diagnostic efficiency of the four indicators were of similar (

Objective:
To investigate the clinical outcomes of selective major aortopulmonary collaterals(MAPCAs) unifocalization and report histopathological findings in patients with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collaterals(PA/VSD/ MAPCAs).
Methods:
The study enrolled 6 MAPCAs/VSD/PA patients with age ranged from 6 to 96 months and body weight ranged from 5.0 to 23.0 kg. These patients underwent selective MAPCAs unifocalization and primary repairs. Preoperative cardiac catheter, selective arteriography, cardiac CTA and intraoperative pathology were performed to identify different function, anatomic distribution and histopathology of MAPCAs.
Results:
6 MAPCAs/VSD/PA patients underwent selective MAPCAs unifocalization and primary repair. No death occurred after operation and at follow-up which lasted for 1 to 20 months. Preoperative cardiac catheter, selective arteriography and intraoperative histopathology demonstrated distribution of functional MAPCAs similar to native pulmonary artery arborization and participating in arterial gas exchange. Functional MAPCAs were classified into elastic arteries according to histopathology.
Conclusion
There are two histological type of MAPCAs which play different roles. Selective unifocalization to functional MAPCAs which are classified into elastic arteries like native pulmonary artery is a safe and effective treatment approach for PA/VSD/MAPCAs.

Objective:
To analyze the frequency and composition of risk-related cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) .
Methods:
The frequency and composition of risk-related CAs from a cohort of 1 015 Chinese patients with NDMM were determined by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) , individually or in combination.
Results:
Of the cohort of 1 015 Chinese patients with NDMM, the frequencies of IgH arrangement, del (13q) /13q14, 1q gain and del (17p) were 54.0%, 46.4%, 46.1% (35.8% and 12. 7% for 3 or more than 3 copies) and 9.9%, respectively. Among 454 patients who had the baseline information for all risk-related CAs [except t (14;20) , which was not covered by the FISH panels performed routinely at all five centers], the frequencies of t (4;14) , t (11;14) or t (14;20) were 14.1%, 11.2% and 4.8%, respectively; of them, 44.3% patients carried 2 or more CAs (28.0%, 13.4% and 2.9% for 2, 3 or ≥4 CAs) ; 83.3%, 95.0% or 68.6% patients with 1q gain, del (17p) or IgH rearrangement had 1 or more additional CA (s) , with del (13q) /13q14 as the most frequently accompanied CA; 57.7% patients carried at least 1 HRCA; the incidences of double-hit (DH) MM (DHMM) (=2 HRCAs) and triple-hit (TH) (THMM) (≥3 HRCAs) were 14.3% and 2.9%, respectively.
Conclusions
Our results provided an up-to-date profile of CAs in Chinese NDMM patients, which revealed that approximately 58% patients might carry at least 1 HRCA, and 17% could experience so-called DHMM or THMM who presumably had the worst outcome.
