Objective To investigate the clinical application value of detection of interleukin-6(IL-6),C reactive protein(CRP),and neutrophic-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)alone and in combination in the prognosis assessment of severe pneumonia(SP).Methods A total of 81 patients with SP admitted from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects.According to the discharge outcomes of the patients,they were divided into the survival group(n=62)and the death group(n=19).The general clinical data at admission and laboratory parameters of the two groups were collected and compared.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the value of serum IL-6,CRP and NLR detection in the prognosis assessment of SP.Results At admission,the pulse of the death group was higher than that of the survival group,while the systolic blood pressure(SBP)was lower than that of the survival group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The incidence of chest tightness in the death group at admission was significant higher than that in the survival group(P<0.05).Compared with the survival group,the number of lymphocyte counts and albumin levels in the death group were lower,while the percentage of neutrophils,NLR and procalcitonin were higher than those in the survival group(P<0.05,P<0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for predicting poor prognosis of SP by the combined detection of IL-6,CRP and NLR was 0.75,which was higher than that predicted by each indicator alone.Conclusion Compared with the detection of IL-6,CRP and NLR alone,the combined detection of the three has a more significant value in predicting the risk of death in patients with SP.It suggests that clinicians should promptly,comprehensively and dynamically monitor the above infection indicators during diagnosis and treatment,and take prompt and effective intervention measures to reduce the mortality rate of patients.

Objective: To investigate the physical and intellectual development and mutation characteristics of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene among 53 newborns with phenylketonuria (PKU), so as to provide insights into the management and genetic counseling of PKU Methods: The medical records of 54 children with definitive diagnosis of PKU and standardized therapy until 2 years at the Center for Neonatal Disease Screening of Shanxi Children' s Hospital from 2018 to 2021 were collected. Newborns' body weight and height developments were evaluated using the World Health Organization growth chart (2006 version), and the intellectual development was assessed using the national criteria of Development Behavior Assessment Scale among Children at Ages of 0 to 6 Years (WS/T 580-2017). The gene mutations were detected among neonates and their children, and the physical, intellectual developments and genetic characteristics of neonates with PKU were descriptively analyzed. Results: The 53 PKU cases included 29 male children and 24 female children, 36 cases with classic PKU and 17 cases with mild PKU, and 30 cases from rural areas and 23 cases from urban areas. The study subjects had a median age of 30 (10) d at initial therapy, and a mean blood phenylalanine concentration of (1 507±685) μmol/L at definitive diagnosis. There were 52 cases with normal height developments (98.11%), and all cases had normal weight and intellectual developments. The mean developmental functional quotient (DFQ) was significantly greater among urban children with PKU than among rural children [(94.92±8.57) vs. (87.65±6.57); t=-3.498, P=0.001], and the mean DFQ was significantly higher among children with mild PKU than among those with classic PKU [(95.55±8.76) vs. (88.57±7.11); t=-3.095, P=0.003]. There were 37 mutations detected in the PAH gene, which were mainly distributed in exons 3, 6, 7, 11, 12 and intron 4. Three high-frequency mutation sites were detected, including c.728G>A, c.611A>G and c.1197A>T, including three novel mutations (c.674C>G, c.1316-2A>C and c.1069T>C). Conclusions Following standardized treatment, the children with PKU have comparable physical and intellectual developments as compared to normal children. c.728G>A, c.611A>G and c.1197A>T were predominant mutations in the PAH gene among these 53 children with PKU, and three novel mutations were identified, including c.674C>G, c.1316-2A>C and c.1069T>C.

Objective: To investigate the relationship among depression, anxiety, stress and addictive substance use behavior in secondary vocational students. Methods: Cluster sampling method and the Adolescent Health-related Behaviors Questionnaire were used to collect demographic characteristics, psychological symptoms, and addictive substance usage among 5 935 students in nine vocational schools in Chongqing, Zhaoqing, Ningbo, and Taiyuan. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the addictive substance use behavior and psychological factors. Results: The detection rates of depression, anxiety and stress were 46.5% (n=2 762), 58.7% (n=3 483), and 29.8% (n= 1 770), respectively. The prevalence of addictive substances was 74.8% (n=4 440), traditional drugs was 0.8% (n=50), new drugs was 2.8% (n=166), other addictive drugs was 4.1% (n=241). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the normal psychological states of secondary vocational students, the OR value of mild depression tendency alcohol and tobacco use behavior of secondary vocational students was 1.45; the OR values of mild anxiety, moderate anxiety, severe anxiety and very serious anxiety were 1.46, 1.46, 1.71, and 1.83, respectively; the traditional drugs use behaviors were 5.51, and 2.61, respectively, for the severe anxiety and very serious anxiety. Compared with the normal psychological state of secondary vocational students, the OR values of the severe anxiety and very severe anxiety were 2.56, and 2.66, respectively, for severe anxiety and very serious anxiety. Compared with normal psychological status of secondary vocational students, the OR values of mild, moderate, severe, and very severe anxiety were 2.14, 2.47, 2.39, and 3.45, respectively; all P values <0.05. Conclusion Anxiety and mild depression were risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use in secondary vocational students; severe and above anxiety were the risk factors of drug use in secondary vocational students; anxiety was the risk factor for other addictive drug use in secondary vocational students.

Objective To investigate the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)on acute myocardial functional lesion after severe craniocerebral injury.Methods Sixty five examples with severe craniocerebral injury are collected in the 253th hospital of PLA from February in 2009 to May in 2012,of whom glasgow coma scale was low or equal to 8 points.They are examined creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB),cardiac troponin T(cTnT),TNF-αand IL-6 for correlative analysis while they are emer-gency treated at the same time.Results The myocardial function of the observe group examined results:CK-MB(198.63±37.72) U/L,cTnT(548.17±49.58)pg/mL;injury factors examined results:TNF-α(39.93± 18.88)ng/mL,IL-6(469.61 ±73.66)ng/mL.It both has evidently difference between the control group and the observe group and has obviously correlation between the my-ocardial function and injury factors of the observe group (P <0.01),and they were positively correlated.Compared TNF-α,IL-6 in observe group,CK-MB(r>0.911 4)and cTnT(r>0.942 1)had statistically significant difference.Conclusion TNF-αand IL-6 all participate in the process of the acute myocardial functional lesion after severe craniocerebral injury.The inchoate interference and treatment against TNF-αand IL-6 are possible to have inhibited the high expression of TNF-αand IL-6 in the blood and to improve the myocardial functional lesion after severe craniocerebral injury.
