ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Fuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the patients with the syndrome of healthy Qi deficiency and blood stasis. MethodA total of 94 BPH patients were randomized into control and observation groups, with 47 patients in each group. The control group was treated with doxazosin mesylate sustained-release tablets, and the observation group with Fuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction on the basis of the therapy in the control group. After eight weeks, the international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) score, residual urine volume (RUV), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), TCM syndrome score, TCM symptom score, electrocardiogram, and liver and kidney function were determined to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups. ResultAfter 8 weeks of treatment, the total response rate in the control group was 63.64% (28/44), which was lower than that (84.44%, 38/45) in the observation group (χ2=5.026, P<0.05). The clinical efficacy in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (Z=-2.17, P=0.030). The treatment in both groups decreased the IPSS, QOL score, RUV, and TCM syndrome scores and increased the Qmax (P<0.05). Moreover, the observation group had lower IPSS, QOL score, RUV, and TCM syndrome score (P<0.05) and higher Qmax than the control group after treatment (P<0.05). The treatment in the observation group decreased all the TCM symptom scores (P<0.05), while that in the control group only decreased the frequency of urination at night and the scores of dysuria, weak urine stream, and post-urinary drainage (P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group had lower frequency of urination at night and lower scores of mental fatigue, cold limbs, lower abdominal discomfort, and loose stool than the control group (P<0.05). No adverse events associated with the administration of Fuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction were observed during the treatment period. ConclusionFuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction is effective in treating BPH in the patients with the syndrome of healthy qi deficiency and blood stasis. It can relieve the clinical symptoms and improve the quality of life, being a safe and reliable choice for clinical application.

Objective:
To investigate the smoking cessation intention and attempt to quit smoking among smokers at ages of 15 years and older in a district of Beijing Municipality, so as to provide insights into formulation of tobacco control interventions.
Methods:
Permanent residents at ages of 15 years and older were sampled using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method from a district in Beijing Municipality, and all smokers were recruited. Participants' demographic features, tobacco use, intention to quit smoking, attempts to quit smoking and awareness of tobacco-related hazards were collected using the Beijing Adult Tobacco Survey. The intention and attempts to quit smoking were analyzed among smokers, and factors affecting the attempt to quit smoking were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 687 smokers were surveyed, including 669 men (97.38%), 497 from rural areas (72.34%), 351 daily smokers (51.09%), 336 occasional smokers (48.91%), 329 with intention to quit smoking (47.89%), and 178 with attempts to quit smoking during the past one year (25.91%). Univariable analysis showed that area, age, educational level, smoking status, tobacco health literacy and tobacco control information acquired from media were factors affecting intention and attempts to quit smoking among smokers (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that smokers with intention to quit smoking (OR=5.444, 95%CI: 3.585-8.268) and occasional smoking (OR=2.142, 95%CI: 1.312-3.497) were more likely to attempt to quit smoking.
Conclusions
Approximately half of smokers have intention to quit smoking in a district of Beijing Municipality; however, the percentage of attempts to quit smoking is low. Targeted interventions are required for smokers with different characteristics to improve the intention to quit smoking and promote smoking-quitting behaviors.

Objective:
To understand the current situation and associated factors of unintentional injury among preschool children in Shunyi District, and to provide reference for the development of unintentional injury intervention measures.
Methods:
Three kindergartens in Shunyi district were selected through stratified cluster sampling method, and all the parents were surveyed online by self-designed questionnaire.
Results:
The proportion of low, medium and high risk assessment of unintentional injury in preschool children were 59.5%, 37.5% and 3.0%, respectively. Risk of unintentional injury increased significantly with age and grade(χ 2=12.35, 12.70, P<0.05). The risk of unintentional injury in inter-generational care (3.7%) was higher than that in parental care(2.4%). The higher the education level of the primary caretaker and family income, the higher level of unintentional injury risk(χ 2=11.23, 14.10, P<0.05).There were significant differences in the risk for burning, poisoning, other accidental injury, prevention of accidental injury and total score of unintentional injury among children of different ages and classes(F=8.26,5.61,4.95,6.15,7.86;9.88,8.39,4.25,6.27,7.55,P<0.05). There was statistical significance in burning risk between boys and girls(t=-4.27, P<0.05). There was statistical significance in unintentional injury prevention between children of different residence(t=9.11, P<0.05). There were significant differences in behavior supervision among risk among children of different ages and grades(P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level of primary caregivers (college:B=-2.66, 95%CI=-4.69--0.63; bachelor degree or higher:B=-3.80, 95%CI=-5.90--1.70), annual family income (B=-2.82, 95%CI=-4.80--0.84) were associated with unintentional injury risk of preschool children(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Health education of unintentional injury prevention among preschool children should focus on the primary caretaker with low education and low family income, which is crucial for prevention of children s injury.

Objective:This study is to investigate the predictive value of serum levels of TIMP-2 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7(IGFBP7) in patients with DCD(donation after cardiac death) kidney transplantation.Methods:A prospective research design was used to select DCD kidney transplant patients admitted to the Li Huili Hospital of Ningbo University from January 2018 to October 2020.Inclusion criteria: ①Complete data; ②There were no serious complications affecting the function of the transplanted kidney in the early postoperative period.Exclusion criteria: ①Incomplete data; ②Patients were unable or unwilling to cooperate with the study; ③Severe complications affecting the function of the transplanted kidney occurred early after the operation.The ELASE method was used to quantitatively detect the serum TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 levels at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after renal transplantation, and monitor the serum creatinine values during the same period and 21 days after the operation. According to the occurrence of DGF, the measured values of TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 at different time points and their product's ability to predict the occurrence of DGF after kidney transplantation were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of TIMP-2 and IGFBP7 for DGF.Results:A total of 33 patients were enrolled, 7 patients (21.2%) in the DGF group and 26 patients (78.8%) in the non-DGF group. Between the two groups, the donor glomerular filtration rate were [98.5(15.8-132.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2) and 79.1(60.6-102.5)ml/(min·1.73m 2)], recipient gender (male/female: 3/4 cases and 10/16 cases), recipient age [48(34-56) Years old and 45(23-61) years old], the recipient's preoperative creatinine [1114.0(731.4-1293.0)μmol/L and 858.4(657.6-1051.9)μmol/L], the recipient's preoperative urea nitrogen [15.0(13.2-19.6)mmol/L and 17.3(13.6-20.9)mmol/L], receptor preoperative albumin [43.5(38.5-45.3)mmol/L and 41.2(37.5-46.1) mmol/L], recipient dialysis method [hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis: 3/4 cases and 9/17 cases], warm ischemia time [6(5-7) and 5(4-6) min, there was no statistically significant difference] ( P>0.05). The values of serum IGFBP7 and TIMP-2×IGFBP7 in the DGF group were higher than those in the non-DGF group at all time points ( F=15.753, P=0.040; F=13.000, P=0.024), while serum TIMP-2 was not significant between the two groups difference ( F=1.157, P=0.075). For the diagnostic value of DGF, the AUC of serum IGFBP7 at 48 h after surgery was 0.863 (95% CI 0.696-1.000, P=0.004). When 5.97 ng/ml was used as the cut-off value, the sensitivity was 85.7% and the specificity was 80.8 %. The AUC of TIMP-2×IGFBP7 at 48 hours after surgery was 0.819 (95% CI 0.641-0.996, P=0.011). When 62.06(ng/ml) 2 was used as the cutoff value, the sensitivity was 71.4% and the specificity was 80.8%.There was no statistical difference in the area under the curve between the two ( P>0.05). There were differences in the dynamic trend of serum IGFBP7 and creatinine in the DGF group. Serum IGFBP7 at 7 days after surgery was positively correlated with creatinine at 21 days after surgery. Conclusion:Serum IGFBP7 and TIMP-2×IGFBP7 could predict the occurrence of DGF after DCD donor kidney surgery. The predictive value changes with time. Among them, 48h and 7d after surgery are the most valuable. However, serum TIMP-2 has not been found to have predictive value in this study.

On October 3rd, 2017, one male patient, aged 27 years, was admitted to our hospital 6 hours after hydrothermal scald of torso, buttocks, and limbs. The total area of burn was about 60% total body surface area, and the depth was from deep partial-thickness burn to full-thickness burn. Immediately after admission, the patient was given symptomatic support treatments, such as anti-shock, fluid replacement, and anti-infection, etc. After being treated by debridement and xenogenic (porcine) skin grafting for 2 times, the wounds were healed well. On the 12th day of admission, linezolid was used to prevent infection according to the results of microbial culture and drug sensitivity test, since when the level of his blood lactate continued to increase. After 8 days, linezolid was discontinued and vitamin B1 was given orally for 1 week, and the level of lactic acid gradually decreased to normal in result. This case was used mainly to analyze whether linezolid could directly cause hyperlacticemia and its important mechanism, aiming at reminding clinicians of being alert to the risk of hyperlacticemia when using linezolid. If hyperlacticemia occurs, linezolid should be discontinued immediately and vitamin B1 should be taken orally to correct the high lactic acid value, and the treatment plan should be adjusted if necessary.

Objective:
To observe the safety and effects of application of analgesic and sedative drugs in severely burned patients during shock stage.
Methods:
One hundred and eighty patients with severe burns, conforming to the study criteria, were admitted to our unit from August 2014 to August 2016. Patients were divided into analgesia and sedation group and control group according to whether receiving analgesic and sedative treatment or not, with 90 cases in each group. Patients in control group received conventional treatment, while those in analgesia and sedation group received analgesic and sedative treatment for 24 hours besides conventional treatment. Before and at drug administration hour 2, 8, 16, and 24, pain degree of patients in two groups was scored by visual analogue scale (VAS). At drug administration hour 2, 8, 16, and 24, sedation degree of patients in two groups was scored by richmond agitation sedation scale, and the success rate of sedation was calculated. Mental state of patients within 24 hours of drug administration was observed, while pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure were observed and dynamically evaluated every 2 hours. The accidental extubation, tachycardia, hypertension, hypoxia, bradycardia, hypotension, urinary retention, and respiratory depression of patients within 24 hours of drug administration were monitored and recorded. Data were processed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance,

Perillyl alcohol, [4-isopropylene-1-cyclohexene] methanol, is a monocyclic monoterpene alcohol with special odorous similar to that of linalool and terpineol. It has application potential in pharmaceutical, daily chemical and food industries. In this study, one method for the synthesis of perillyl alcohol through the MVA pathway was studied. First, the MVA metabolic pathway originated from Enterococcus faecalis was constructed in Escherichia coli to synthesize limonene. Limonene was further transformed to perillyl alcohol by the hydroxylation of cytochrome P450 alkane hydroxylase. Furthermore, the shake flask fermentation condition of the engineered E. coli strain was optimized. The results showed that the engineered E. coli could produce about 50.12 mg/L perillyl alcohol through MVA pathway using glucose as raw material. In this study, the method of the MVA pathway for perillyl alcohol synthesis was constructed successfully in engineered E. coli, which provides both theoretical and technical support for terpenoids biosynthesis.

Objective To investigate the differences of gut microbiota in patients with schizophrenia between onset and remission. Methods Twelve patients with schizophrenia in the stage of onset were selected as the episode group. Thirteen gender-, age-and BMI-matched patients with schizophrenia during the remission period were selected as the control group. The fecal specimens of the two groups were collected for high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and the gut microbiota differences between the two groups were analyzed. Results The chao index and ace index of gut microbiota was lower in the episode group than in the control group (t=2.385,P=0.026; t=3.068,P=0.005). The relative abundance of Bacteroides was higher and the relative abundance of Prevotella was lower in the episodes group than in the control group (Z=-2.013, P =0.044; Z=-3.427, P=0.001). The relative abundance of the Prevotella was negatively correlated with the PANSS score (r=-0.577, P=0.003). Conclusion Schizophrenia in the stage of acute episode have altered gut microbiota compared with those in the stage of remission and the gut microbiota is significantly corrected with mental symptoms.

OBJECTIVE:To study the hemostatic effect of porcine fibrin sealant patch (DBT) on bleeding wound of liver in rats and gluteus maximus in heparinized rabbits. METHODS:48 rats and 24 rabbits were randomly divided into sham operation group,operation control group (gauze hemostasis),medical collagen sponge group and DBT group. Except for sham operation group,animals in other groups were reduced for rat model with liver bleeding or heparinized rabbit model with gluteus maximus bleeding. The hemostatic time was recorded,bleeding amount was calculated;DBT degradation and wound adhesion in liver after 3,13 weeks were observed;re-bleeding rate of heparinized rabbits in medical collagen sponge group and DBT group were investi-gated. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,the hemostatic time and bleeding amount of animals in operation control group were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with operation control group,the hemostatic time and bleeding amount of animals in DBT group and medical collagen sponge group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). After 3,13 weeks,different de-gree of adhesion appeared in the wound of rats in each group,while the adhesion scores had no statistical significances(P>0.05). After 13 weeks,liver margin of rats in administration groups was slightly blunt,but it basically had been restored to preoperative state,with good healing. DBT can be degraded and absorbed completely. The re-bleeding rate of rabbits in DBT group were33.3%,66.7% in medical collagen sponge group. CONCLU-SIONS:DBT has good hemostatic effect on fragile organs and the body with blood coagulation dysfunction,and can be de-graded and absorbed. Its effect is equivalent to medical colla-gen,while the adhesive strength is slightly better than the latter.
