Objective:To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Zhonghua Dieda Pills; To preliminarily explore its mechanism on adjuvant arthritis model rats.Methods:Three inflammatory models and two pain models were used to investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Zhonghua Dieda Pills. After establishing the adjuvant arthritis rat model, the rats were divided into normal group, model group, dexamethasone group (0.8 mg/kg), and Zhonghua Dieda Pills (2.0, 1.0, 0.5 g/kg) groups according to random number table method. Each group was given corresponding drugs once a day for 5 weeks. The toe volume was measured at 1, 3 and 5 weeks after administration, and the swelling degree was calculated; the organ indices of rats were calculated and the histopathological changes of articular cartilage were observed by HE staining; the expressions of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in joint tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:Zhonghua Dieda Pills (2.0 g/kg) group significantly reduced the swelling of foot and plantar of rats, reduced the swelling of ear of mice, and reduced the dry weight of granuloma of rats ( P<0.05); Zhonghua Dieda Pills (1.4 g/kg) group significantly reduced the number of twisting of rats, and the pain threshold after 3 h of administration was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05); Zhonghua Dieda Pills (2.0 g/kg) group significantly reduced the swelling of the foot and metatarsal of arthritic rats after 3-5 weeks of administration ( P<0.05), decreased the thymus index ( P<0.05), and reduced the expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and TGF-β in joint tissues ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Zhonghua Dieda Pills have confirmed anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which may play a therapeutic role in adjuvant arthritis model rats by reducing the levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, TNF-α and TGF-β.

Objective To understand the distribution and changes in antimicrobial resistance of clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa)in the member hospitals of Hunan Provincial Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System from 2012 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by disk diffusion or automa-ted instrument was performed on clinical isolates.Testing results were determined according to the standards of 2022 edition from American Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI).Statistical analysis was performed by WHONET 5.6 software.Data were analyzed by trend test(Cochran-armitage)and Chi-square test with SPSS.Results A total of 176 441 strains of P.aeruginosa were surveilled by Hunan Provincial Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System from 2012 to 2021.99.4％of the strains were isolated from hospitalized patients,and about 70％of the strains were isolated from respiratory specimens.8.4％of P.aeruginosa were from children(0-17 years old),91.6％were from adults.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing results showed that P.aeruginosa was most sensitive to polymyxin B over 10 years,with a resis-tance rate of less than 6％.Resistance rates to piperacil-lin,piperacillin/tazobactam,ceftazidime,cefepime,aztreonam,imipenem,amikacin,gentamicin,tobramycin,cip-rofloxacin,levofloxacin,and polymyxin B all showed downward trends.A total of 29 920 carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)strains were detected.The average isolation rate of CRPA in this province was 18.0％over 10 years.CRPA detection rate from adult was 18.5％,higher than that from children(12.3％),and both showing downward trends.Conclusion The resistance rate of clinically isolated P.aeruginosa in Hunan Province to most commonly used antimicrobial agents is decreasing.

The mortality of female breast cancer in Shandong Province has increased since the 1970. The differential decomposition analysis found that the slight decline in the crude mortality of breast cancer among women was entirely due to non-demographic factors during the 1970-1990, and the significant increase in the crude mortality was due to a combination of demographic and non-demographic factors since the 1990. The contribution rate of demographic factor has gradually increased from 53.5% in 2004-2005 to 59.5% in 2011-2013, while that of non-demographic factor has decreased from 46.5% to 40.5%. The women aged 45-64 years old were the major population of female breast cancer deaths, accounting for 40%-60% of total breast cancer deaths in different times, and then the mortality in female aged 55-64 years old increased rapidly, with increases of 52.12%, 115.19% and 29.01% in 2011-2013 over the 1970-1974, 1990-1992 and 2004-2005, respectively (Z=-7.342,P<0.001). Compared with 1970-1974, the age-standardized mortality rate of rural women increased by 41.86% in 2011-2013 (Z=-17.933, P<0.001), and that of urban women increased by 18.62% in 2011-2013 (Z=-25.642, P<0.001). The age-standardized mortality rate of breast cancer in urban women was higher than that in rural women in different times (all P<0.05). The spatial scan analysis found that eastern Shandong Province was found to be a sustained high-risk area for death, and other high-risk areas were transferred from north to southwest of Shandong between 1970 and 2013.

Objective: To investigate the localization methods of supratrochlear artery (STA) and supraorbital artery (SOA), and to explore the clinical benefit of locating nerve via accompanying vascular localization in combined transfrontal and intranasal endoscopic approaches. Methods: From June 2019 to May 2021, 14 patients, including 11 males and 3 females, aging from 18 to 69 years old, were underwent frontal sinus surgery through the combined transfrontal and intranasal endoscopic approaches in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Before the surgery, localization of STA and SOA was determined by color doppler flow imaging (CDFI), computerized topographic angiography (CTA) and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) respectively, and the distances between STA and SOA from facial midline were measured on 28 eyebrows. The position of external incision was determined according to the preoperative localization of STA and SOA. The examination time, cost and postoperative complications of the three methods were recorded. The accuracy of localization at 14 sides was verified by the surgery. GraphPad Prism 8.3 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: STA and SOA could be located by CDFI, CTA and CE-MRA. There was no significant difference in the measurement of the distance between STA and SOA from the facial midline among 3 methods (all P>0.05). Determining the position of external incision according to the localization of STA and SOA could protect both the blood vessels and accompanying nerves. No postoperative complications such as numbness of the forehead skin occurred. The measurement time of CDFI, CTA and CE-MRA was 22.50 (15.75, 30.00), 30.00 (28.00, 34.25) and 48.00 (44.00, 52.75) min (M (Q₁, Q₃)), respectively (all P<0.05). CDFI incurred the lowest costs and took the shortest time. Conclusions: CDFI is an efficient and economic localization method. The localization of STA and SOA facilitates the precise selection of the position of external incision, protects the accompanying nerve and reduces postoperative complications.

Objective To explore the characteristics and differences of the distribution of skeletal muscle content between the Han adult population in Tibet and Liaoning Han adult population. Methods Randomly selected healthy adults of Han worked in Tibet and Liaoning Han nationality as the research object, a total of 223 Han adults worked in Tibet ( 95 males, 128 females); 302 adults of Han nationality in Liaoning (126 males, 176 females) were selected by body composition analyzer. The body weight, total muscle mass, trunk muscle mass, left upper limb muscle mass, right upper limb muscle mass, left lower limb muscle mass, and right lower limb muscle mass of the subject were measured. All the result were input into SPSS 22. 0 statistical analysis, and related statistical processing such as independent sample t test was applied. Results The body weight, trunk muscle mass, left upper limb muscle mass, right upper limb muscle mass, left lower limb muscle mass, and lower right muscle mass of the Tibetan Han population were lower than those of the Han adults in Liaoning, and the comparison result was significantly different (P<0.01 or P<0.05), the Han adults in Liaoning and the Tibetan Han population, male muscle mass was greater than the female adults (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion After the Han people in Liaoning entered the Tibetan Plateau, the muscle mass of each part of the body decrease significantly. The change of human body composition can be affected by various factors such as gender and high altitude hypoxia environment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of antibiotic use for very and extremely low birth weight (VLBW/ELBW) infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of Hunan Province. METHODS: The use of antibiotics was investigated in multiple level 3 NICUs of Hunan Province for VLBW and ELBW infants born between January, 2017 and December, 2017. RESULTS: The clinical data of 1 442 VLBW/ELBW infants were collected from 24 NICUs in 2017. The median antibiotic use duration was 17 days (range: 0-86 days), accounting for 53.0% of the total length of hospital stay. The highest duration of antibiotic use was up to 91.4% of the total length of hospital stay, with the lowest at 14.6%. In 16 out of 24 NICUs, the antibiotic use duration was accounted for more than 50.0% of the hospitalization days. There were 113 cases with positive bacterial culture grown in blood or cerebrospinal fluid, making the positive rate of overall bacterial culture as 7.84%. The positive rate of bacterial culture in different NICUs was significantly different from 0% to 14.9%. The common isolated bacterial pathogens Klebsiella pneumoniae was 29 cases (25.7%); Escherichia coli 12 cases (10.6%); Staphylococcus aureus 3 cases (2.7%). The most commonly used antibiotics were third-generation of cephalosporins, accounting for 41.00% of the total antibiotics, followed by penicillins, accounting for 32.10%, and followed by carbapenems, accounting for 13.15%. The proportion of antibiotic use time was negatively correlated with birth weight Z-score and the change in weight Z-score between birth and hospital discharge (r=-0.095, -0.151 respectively, P<0.01), positively correlated with death/withdrawal of care (r=0.196, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Antibiotics used for VLBW/ELBW infants in NICUs of Hunan Province are obviously prolonged in many NICUs. The proportion of routine use of third-generation of cephalosporins and carbapenems antibiotics is high among the NICUs.

Objective:To investigate the human cytomegalovirus(HCMV)infection and hearing impairment in infants with congenital and perinatal diseases of the Bo′ai Hospital in Zhongshan City, and to explore the risk factors of hearing impairment and clinical outcomes.Methods:A total of 243 cases of infants with congenital and perinatal HCMV infection were collected from Bo′ai Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018.Clinical data and brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP)results were analyzed retrospectively.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of hearing impairment.The children with hearing loss were followed up in out-patient.Results:Positive rates of congenital and perinatal HCMV infection in infants were 4.56%(121/2654), 2.76%(74/2686)and 3.15%(85/2701)from 2016 to 2018 in our hospital respectively.In 243 cases, there were 107 cases with normal hearing(44%), 33 cases with suspicious hearing impairment(14%)and 103 cases with hearing impairment(42%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age less than 1 month( P=0.034)and CMV-DNA positive( P=0.003)were independent risk factors for hearing impairment.The manifestations of hearing impairment were various.Twenty cases with suspected hearing impairment were not treated with ganciclovir, in which 19 cases BAEP became normal.Sixty-seven cases with hearing impairment were followed up, of whom 47 cases received standardized ganciclovir antiviral therapy: 30 cases returned to normal, and 12 cases improved, and 3 cases showed no significant changes, and 2 cases aggravated.Twenty cases did not received the antiviral therapy: 5 cases returned to normal, and 8 cases improved, and 3 cases showed no significant changes, and 4 cases aggravated. Conclusion:There was a high rate of HCMV infection of congenital and perinatal infants in our hospital.Infected infants have a higher proportion of hearing impairment.Infants less than 1 month and CMV-DNA positive are more likely to suffer from hearing impairment.It can be considered for clinical observation for the cases with slightly elevated hearing threshold.Standardized ganciclovir antiviral therapy has obvious effect on hearing improvement.
