Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of common viruses in children with respiratory tract infection in Yangling District, and to provide scientific basis for clinical formulation of effective prevention and control strategies. Methods The study subjects were 502 children with respiratory tract infection in Yangling Demonstration Zone Hospital from February 2022 to February 2024. 10 kinds of common respiratory infection viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, human rhinovirus, influenza B virus, influenza A virus, human adenovirus, enterovirus, coronavirus, human metapneumovirus and human Boca virus were detected by multiple real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). According to the results of viral nucleic acid detection, 502 children were divided into positive detection group and negative detection group. Univariate and logistic multivariate regression analyses were adopted to analyze the risk factors of respiratory virus infection in children. Results Among the 502 children with respiratory tract infection, 112 cases were positive for viral nucleic acid detection, with a positive rate of 22.31%. Among the 95 cases were with single virus infection with a positive rate of 18.92%, mainly respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza virus, and 17 cases were with mixed virus infection, with the positive rate of 3.39%, mainly respiratory syncytial virus+parainfluenza virus mixed infection. After logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that age≤1 year old, onset in autumn and winter, monthly family income≤5000 yuan, concomitant congenital heart disease, maternal atopic disease history, maternal gestational diabetes mellitus, malnutrition and anemia were independent risk factors for respiratory virus infection in children (P<0.05). Conclusion Respiratory virus infection in acute hospitalized children in Yangling District is mainly a single virus, and is affected by many factors such as age of children, onset season, family monthly income and so on. Clinically, it is necessary to actively screen the above indicators of children and take active preventive measures to reduce viral infection.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor of the intestinal tract with changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, and pain as the main clinical manifestations. With the change in lifestyle and diet structure in recent years, the incidence of CRC has been increasing year by year. The pathogenesis of CRC is closely related to abnormal immune response and chronic inflammation, intestinal microbial dysbiosis, and the production of oncogenic metabolites. There is a two-way communication between the intestinal microbiota and the body's immunity, which not only plays a key role in maintaining the body's health but also has a close relationship with the development of diseases. An increasing number of studies have shown that abnormal immune responses accelerate the disease process by producing inflammatory factors, causing chronic inflammation in the body, disrupting the intestinal mucosal barrier, and increasing mucosal permeability, thus resulting in dysbiosis of the intestinal microbial ecology and a large number of pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolites. In addition, dysbiosis of intestinal microbes, by suppressing the normal immune response, leads to the disruption of multiple metabolic pathways in the body, affecting the internal and external stress response of the intestine, inducing inflammation, and thus producing disease. Therefore, the complex crosstalk mechanism between the immune response and intestinal microbial axis is closely related to the development of CRC. Based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical research, it was found that dietary factors are an important causative factor in the development of CRC. The deficiency of positive energy is the root cause of the disease, and damp-heat accumulation is the key pathogenesis. Through modern medical and biological research, it is believed that abnormal immune response is the microscopic manifestation of damp-heat entrapment, while intestinal microbial dysbiosis is the biological basis of toxic injection into the large intestine, and in the pathogenesis of CRC, the imbalance of immune response-intestinal microbial axis is compatible with damp-heat accumulation in traditional Chinese medicine. This study aims to explore the biological connotation of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation from the immune response-intestinal microbial axis, so as to interpret the pathogenesis of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation with objective data and provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of CRC due to damp-heat accumulation.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of peripheral blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and serum trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) on in-hospital mortality events in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) upon admission.Methods:A retrospective collection of medical records of 103 AMICS patients admitted to the Shanxi Yingkang Life General Hospital from January 2018 to June 2023 was conducted. The patients were divided into a survival group ( n=78) and a death group ( n=25) based on whether they experienced in-hospital mortality events. Two groups of peripheral blood NLR, serum TMAO, baseline data, and other laboratory indicators were compared. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for in-hospital mortality in AMICS patients and a prediction model was constructed. We established receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to evaluate the predictive efficacy of peripheral blood NLR, serum TMAO, peripheral blood NLR+ serum TMAO, and predictive model indicators for in-hospital mortality events in AMICS patients. Results:The peripheral blood NLR and serum TMAO levels in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). The age of the death group was higher than that of the survival group, and the proportion of hypertension, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, random blood glucose, proportion of patients who did not receive emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment, peak cardiac troponin I, B-type natriuretic peptide, Gensini score of coronary artery disease, and C-reactive protein were all higher than those of the survival group. Systolic blood pressure and platelet count were lower than those of the survival group, heart rate and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were faster than those of the survival group, and the pre hospital time was longer than that of the survival group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as age, male proportion, body mass index, proportion of old myocardial infarction, proportion of hypertension, and proportion of PCI history, advanced age, long pre hospital time, failure to receive emergency PCI, elevated peripheral blood NLR, and elevated serum TMAO were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in AMICS patients ( P<0.05). The predictive model was obtained as 0.734×age+ 0.277×pre hospital time+ 2.263×failure to receive emergency PCI+ 0.549×peripheral blood NLR+ 0.608×serum TMAO-26.923. The ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values of peripheral blood NLR, serum TMAO, peripheral blood NLR+ serum TMAO, and predictive model indicators for predicting in-hospital mortality events in AMICS patients were 0.744, 0.781, 0.825, and 0.921, respectively. When the optimal cutoff value was taken, the sensitivities were 0.880, 0.520, 0.680, and 0.880, and the specificities were 0.526, 0.923, 0.872, and 0.821, respectively. Conclusions:Advanced age, long pre hospital duration, failure to undergo emergency PCI, elevated peripheral blood NLR, and elevated serum TMAO are independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in AMICS patients. Peripheral blood NLR, serum TMAO, peripheral blood NLR+ serum TMAO, and prediction models all have certain predictive value for in-hospital mortality events in AMICS patients. Among them, the sensitivity and specificity of the prediction models are high, and the efficacy is good.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of using the levofloxacin combined with intrauterine infusion of metronidazole for the treatment of the infertility patients with chronic endometritis (CE).Methods:Using a case-control study method. 82 infertility patients with CE admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from March 2018 to March 2021 were selected and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method, with 41 cases in each group. The control group was treated with oral levofloxacin hydrochloride, while the observation group was treated with metronidazole sodium chloride injection intrauterine infusion on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 14 days. Compare the serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor between two groups before and after treatment α(tumor necrosis factor-α, TNF-α) The levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), natural pregnancy rate within six months, total effective rate, and incidence of adverse reactions during treatment were measured. The measurement data with normal distribution is expressed as: independent sample t-test is used for comparison between the two groups, and paired t-test is used for comparison before and after treatment within the group; The measurement data of non normal distribution is represented by M( Q1, Q3), and the comparison between groups is made by Wilcoxon Rank sum test. The counting data is represented by examples (%), and the comparison between groups is conducted using the χ 2 test. Results:Before treatment, two groups of serum CRP and TNF-α There was no statistically significant difference compared to the levels of MCP-1 (all P>0.05); After 14 days of treatment, both groups had serum CRP and TNF-α、MCP-1 were all lower than before treatment, and the observation group was lower than the control group [(4.12±1.9) ng/L vs (6.36±1.63) ng/L, (47.28±9.10) ng/L vs (62.79±9.34) ng/L, (212.04±24.82) ng/L vs (326.15±27.38) ng/L], with statistically significant differences ( t-values of 5.61, 7.62, and 19.77, all P<0.001). After 14 days of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [95.12% (39/41) vs 78.05% (32/41)], with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=5.14, P=0.023). After 6 months of treatment, the natural pregnancy rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [53.66% (22/41) vs 31.71% (13/41)], with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=5.96, P=0.044). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups during the treatment period (χ 2=0.55, P=0.457). Conclusions:The combination of levofloxacin and intrauterine infusion of metronidazole has a good clinical effect in treating infertility patients with CE. It can significantly improve the inflammatory state of the body, reduce serum inflammatory factor levels, increase the natural pregnancy rate within 6 months, and do not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To construct a diabetic foot classification prediction model based on radiomics features of fundus photographs.Methods:A total of 2 035 fundus photographs of patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed at Nanfang Hospital between December 2011 and December 2018 were retrospectively collected [282 photographs from patients with diabetic foot(DF), and 1 753 from patients with diabetes mellitus(DM)]. All fundus photographs were randomly divided into a training set(1 424 photos) and a test set(611 photos) using a computer generated random number at 7∶3. After pre-processing the fundus photographs, a total of 4 128 texture features based on the gray matrix were extracted by the Radiomic toolkit, and 11 339 other features were extracted using the ToolboxDESC toolkit. The LASSO algorithm was used to select the 30 features most relevant to DF, and then the Bootstrap + 0.632 self-sampling method was used to further select the 7 best combinations. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the regression coefficients and establish the final diabetic foot classification prediction model. ROC curve was drawn, and AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the training and test sets were calculated to verify its prediction performance. Results:We screened 7 fundus radiomics markers for diabetic foot patients, and based on this established a DF/DM classification prediction model. The AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the model were 0.958 6, 0.984 0, 0.920 0, and 0.928 0 in the training set, and 0.927 1, 0.988 9, 0.881 0, and 0.896 9 in the test set, respectively.Conclusion:In this study, seven DF fundus markers were screened using radiomics technology. Based on this, a highly accurate and easy-to-use DF/DM classification model was constructed. This technology has the potential to increase the efficiency of DF screening programs.

Objective:
To explore the clinical and pathological features and mutational types and their relations with WT1 mutation-associated nephropathy (WT1MAN).
Methods:
The clinical and pathological data and the results of WT1 mutation analysis of the cases from Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital and The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University whom we recruited recently and reported during the last ten years were analyzed.
Results:
Totally, 20 cases (6 males and 14 females), included 5 newly diagnosed cases, were recruited. (1) Ten children were diagnosed with Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS): The median onset age of proteinuria was 1 year and 7 months. Diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS) were revealed in 3 cases, minimal lesions (MCD) in 4 cases, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in 1 case; renal pathology was not available in the other 2 cases. Glomerular basement membrane (GBM) thickening was observed in 2 cases. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) were administered in 5 cases, complete remission of proteinuria was observed in 3 cases, partial remission in the other 2 cases. Genetic analysis revealed that six cases had WT1 missense mutation, 3 had nonsense mutation, and 1 had frameshift mutation. (2) Two cases were diagnosed with Frasier syndrome (FS): proteinuria was observed at 1 year and 1 month of age and 1 year and 9 months of age, respectively. FSGS with GBM layering were observed in both cases. They progressed to ESRD at 1 year and 6 months of age and 6 years and 6 months of age, respectively. CNI was tried in 1 case with partial proteinuria remission. Both patients were detected to have WT1 splice mutation. (3) Isolated nephropathy (IN) was observed in 8 cases: three had splice mutation, 5 had missense mutation. Of the 3 patients with splice mutation, one was found to have nephropathy and renal failure at the age of 5 months. The other two cases (1 was FSGS and another MCD), both had GBM layering. CNIs were tried on both of them, one got partial remission with normal renal function at the age of fourteen years, the other one had no response and entered ESRD at the age of 6 years and 9 months. Of the 5 cases with missense mutation, 3 had DMS, 2 of them entered ESRD within 6 months of age, another case had DMS entered ESRD at 9 years of age. One case with FSGS, was treated with CNIs and got complete remission.
Conclusions
Slow progression (7/10) nephropathy was observed in DDS patients. Missense mutation (11/20) was the most common type of WT1 variants, followed by splice mutation (5/20) in this group of patients. Early onset nephropathy (4/5), rapid progression (4/5) and GBM layering (4/4) wereobserved in patients with splice mutation. CNI was effective in reducing or even eliminating proteinuria in WT1 MAN patients (8/9).
