Objective To review the diagnostic information of 3368 viral hepatitis B inpatient cases reported by some healthcare institutions in Qinghai Province in the National Notifiable Disease Report System(NNDRS)in 2021,and to analyse the consistency of their reports and influence factor.Methods The study used the typical survey method to study 3368 hospitalized cases of hepatitis B reported by 32 medical institutions in Qinghai Province in 2021 from July 2022 to April 2023.The consistency between the reported classification and the reviewed classification was evaluated by reviewing diagnostic information of the cases,combined with the Kappa consistency test,and the consistency-influencing factors were analysed in a univariate and multivariate analysis.Results The consistency between acute,chronic,and unclassified reporting classifications and review classifications was poor(Kappa＜0.40);the consistency between acute and chronic review was poor(Kappa＜0.40).The main influence factor of the consistency of review included the level of medical institution,the patient's gender,occupation,past history,and the unit of diagnosis of initial onset of illness.Provincial medical institutions reported higher consistency,and male cases and herder cases had better consistency than female cases and other occupations.Review consistency of cases with past history was better than that of cases with unclear past history.Conclusion The consistency of diagnosis and reporting of hepatitis B cases in healthcare institutions in Qinghai Province in 2021 was low,with problems of inaccurate classification and duplicate reporting.It is recommended to strengthen the training and supervision of healthcare institutions,standardise the filling of'attached card'information,and promote the hepatitis B core antibody IgM test to improve the classification and diagnosis of acute and chronic hepatitis B,so as to comprehensively improve the accuracy of the diagnosis and reporting of hepatitis B cases.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of a 3D printed guide plate in the placement of a hinged external fixator for treatment of elbow terror triad.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 10 patients with elbow terror triad who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from July 2021 to July 2023 by the hinged external fixator placement assisted by a 3D printed guide plate. There were 6 males and 4 females, aged (48.2±19.7) years. The range of elbow motion and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score in the patients were recorded and compared between preoperation and the last follow-up. Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) and complications were also recorded at the last follow-up.Results:The central axis of the elbow rotation was successfully located at one time under the assistance of the 3D printed guide plate in the 10 patients. Intraoperative fluoroscopy and postoperative CT computer simulation verified that the rotation center of the hinged external fixator was consistent with that of the elbow joint. All patients were followed up for 12.0 (5.5, 13.5) months. The elbow flexion and extension at the last follow-up in the 10 patients were 126.2°±6.1° and 153.2°±5.9°, respectively, significantly better than those before operation (23.3°±6.7° and 121.2°±5.7°) ( P<0.05). Their VAS pain score was 1 (0, 1) point at the last follow-up, significantly lower than that before operation [3 (2, 3) points] ( P<0.05). Their MEPS score at the last follow-up was (88.0±6.8) points, giving 6 excellent and 4 good cases. No patient experienced such complications as pin tract infection, loosening or breakage of fixation needles, or radial nerve injury. Ectopic ossification occurred in 2 patients, and 1 patient underwent a secondary nerve release due to ulnar nerve symptoms. Conclusion:In the surgical treatment of elbow terror triad, application of a 3D printed guide plate to assist the placement of an external fixator can quickly and accurately locate the central axis of the elbow rotation, which promotes the early functional exercise of the patients to obtain a satisfactory functional prognosis.

Stathmin 1 (STMN1) is a microtubule-binding cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that promotes microtubule depolymerization or inhibits microtubule assembly, thereby regulating cytoskeletal organization and cell cycle progression. STMN1 is upregulated in a variety of malignant tumors, where it drives proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis through classic pathways such as nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and ferroptosis. STMN1 can also modulate the function of immune cells, thereby influencing antitumor immunity. Clinical data show that its high expression correlates positively with tumor drug resistance and poor prognosis, suggesting that STMN1 has potential as a tumor biomarker and therapeutic molecular target with important clinical significance.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value and risk relationship of preoperative serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), milk fat globule-epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8), and 24-hour postoperative lactate load in acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac valve surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery at the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Yan′an University Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 and developed postoperative AKI (AKI group). Another 60 patients who underwent the same surgery during the same period but did not develop AKI were selected as the control group. Preoperative and postoperative laboratory results and general clinical data were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative serum HDL-C, MFG-E8, and 24-hour postoperative lactate load for AKI. A logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk relationship between these three indicators and AKI.Results:The AKI group had significantly lower preoperative serum HDL-C [(1.06±0.13)mmol/L] and MFG-E8 [(413.6±73.0)ng/L] compared with the control group [HDL-C (1.15±0.18)mmol/L, MFG-E8 (461.8±85.7)ng/L], while the 24-hour postoperative lactate load [(155.8±29.0)mmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the control group [(128.1±25.0)mmol/L] (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values for preoperative HDL-C, MFG-E8, and 24-hour postoperative lactate load in predicting AKI following cardiac valve surgery were 0.642, 0.611, and 0.818, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that decreased preoperative HDL-C ( OR=0.822), decreased preoperative MFG-E8 ( OR=0.674), increased 24-hour postoperative lactate load ( OR=1.781), prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time ( OR=1.848), prolonged aortic cross-clamp time ( OR=1.470), elevated preoperative serum creatinine (Scr) ( OR=1.941), and increased 24-hour postoperative fluid balance ( OR=1.775) were independent risk factors for AKI following cardiac valve surgery (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients who developed AKI after cardiac valve surgery had lower preoperative serum HDL-C and MFG-E8 levels and higher 24-hour postoperativelactate load. Among these, the 24-hour postoperative lactate load demonstrated significant predictive value for AKI, and all three indicators were closely associated with AKI occurrence.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of compound Duzhong Jiangu granule on Kashin-Beck disease (KBD), and to provide a new alternative for the treatment of patients with KBD.Methods:According to the principle of random distribution, patients with KBD diagnosed clinically in Linyou County and Yongshou County of Shaanxi Province who meet the inclusion criteria were divided into a traditional Chinese medicine group and a Western medicine group, and they were treated with compound Duzhong Jiangu granule (Chinese medicine group) and ibuprofen sustained release capsule + 21 jinvita + chondroitin sulfate (Western medicine group), respectively, for a duration of one month. Questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the clinical data of all survey respondents before and after medication by using the Joint Dysfunction Index Scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scales, for evaluation and analysis. The incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded.Results:A total of 218 KBD patients that met the inclusion criteria were selected, including 167 patients in the Chinese medicine group and 51 patients in the Western medicine group. There were 94 males and 73 females in the Chinese medicine group, aged (62.93 ± 6.72) years. In the Western medicine group, there were 18 males and 33 females, aged (63.29 ± 7.02) years. There was no statistically significant difference in age between the two groups ( Z = - 0.24, P = 0.813). After taking the compound Duzhong Jiangu granules for treatment of KBD patients in the traditional Chinese medicine group, there were significant changes in the number of patients with joint rest pain, joint movement pain, morning stiffness, maximum walking distance and lower limb mobility in the Joint Dysfunction Scale compared to before treatment. The difference between before and after medication was statistically significant (χ 2 = 37.93, 29.64, 50.40, 13.57, 25.25, P < 0.001). After 1 month of medication, there were 13 cases of significant effect, 64 cases of effectiveness, and 90 cases of ineffectiveness in the traditional Chinese medicine group, with a total effective rate of 46.11%. There were 0 cases of significant improvement, 13 cases of effectiveness, and 38 cases of ineffectiveness in the Western medicine group, with a total effective rate of 25.49%. The difference in total effective rates between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2 = 8.62, P = 0.013). In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in the improvement of lower limb mobility (difficulty of daily activities) between the Chinese medicine group and the Western medicine group (χ 2 = 8.21, P = 0.017). After taking medication, the joint pain, stiffness, and difficulty of daily activities scores in the WOMAC scale of KBD patients in the Chinese medicine group and the Western medicine group were significantly reduced. The differences in scores before and after medication were statistically significant (Chinese medicine group, Z = - 7.60, - 7.74, - 9.75, P < 0.001; Western medicine group, Z = - 5.20, - 3.81, - 3.93, P < 0.001). There was a significant differences in the improvement degree of daily activity difficulty and total score between the Chinese medicine group and the Western medicine group ( Z = - 3.75, - 3.34, P < 0.01). During the medication period, the incidence of adverse reactions in the traditional Chinese medicine group was lower than that in the western medicine group (Chinese medicine group, 29.34%; Western medicine group, 45.09%, χ 2 = 4.38, P = 0.036). Conclusions:Compound Duzhong Jiangu granule has a good therapeutic effects on KBD, significantly improving joint dysfunction of patients. It has advantages in improving the activity ability of KBD patients and reducing the difficulty of daily activities, and has less adverse reactions else.

Objective:To investigate the effects of remimazolam on hemodynamics during the induction of general anesthesia and postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted involving 80 patients who underwent heart valve replacement surgery at Yan'an University Affiliated Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to either a control group or an observation group, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received routine general anesthesia, while the observation group received additional remimazolam during the routine anesthesia process. Hemodynamic parameters were compared between the two groups at different time points: heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded before anesthesia induction (T1), at the beginning of anesthesia induction (T2), 5 minutes after anesthesia induction (T3), at the time of tracheal intubation (T4), and 5 minutes after tracheal intubation (T5). The level of anesthesia during induction was compared between the two groups. Cognitive function in both groups was evaluated before and immediately after surgery. Additionally, the incidence of anesthesia-related adverse events during the perioperative period was compared between the two groups.Results:At T4 and T5, the heart rates in the observation group were (79.23 ± 10.22) beats/min and (78.54 ± 9.94) beats/min, respectively, and the mean arterial pressures were (115.64 ± 21.04) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and (108.61 ± 17.99) mmHg. Both values were significantly lower than those in the control group [heart rate: (84.51 ± 10.35) beats/min, (84.31 ± 10.08) beats/min, mean arterial pressure: (130.06 ± 19.25) mmHg, (121.62 ± 18.61) mmHg, t = 2.30, 2.58, 3.20, 3.18, all P < 0.05]. The time taken for the EEG bi-frequency index to drop below 60 and the EEG bi-frequency index before tracheal intubation in the observation group were both significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 3.03, 3.14, both P < 0.05). Immediately after surgery, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score in the control group showed a significant decrease ( t = 6.43, P < 0.05), while the MMSE score in the observation group did not change significantly ( t = 0.60, P > 0.05). Moreover, the immediate postoperative MMSE score in the observation group [(26.98 ± 2.97) points] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(23.15 ± 2.78) points, t = -5.95, P < 0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of anesthesia-related adverse events between the two groups (χ2 = 0.66, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Remimazolam can maintain hemodynamic stability during the induction of anesthesia in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery, facilitate the rapid attainment of satisfactory sedation, and reduce immediate postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Furthermore, the use of remimazolam in conjunction with routine general anesthesia does not significantly increase anesthesia-related risks, demonstrating a high level of safety.
