Objective:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 123 patients with atticotomy, exploring the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing atticotomy and the efficacy of hearing reconstruction methods. Methods:123 patients with atticotomy were divided into three groups according to the ossicular chain treatment method: preservation of the ossicular chain group（37 cases）, cartilage elevation of stapes group（49 cases）, and PORP group（37 cases）. The clinical characteristics of patients with atticotomy, preoperative and postoperative hearing levels of the three groups of patients, and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results:①89.43%（110/123） of patients who underwent atticotomy were pars flaccida cholesteatomas, while 10.57%（13/123） of patients were secondary cholesteatoma, adhesive otitis media, pars tensa cholesteatomas, congenital cholesteatoma, and external auditory canal cholesteatoma; ②The group with preserved ossicular chain had a shorter medical history compared to the other two groups, and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.001）. The group with preserved ossicular chain had smaller inter group ABG values and average ABG values at frequencies of 500 Hz, 1 000 Hz, 2 000 Hz and 4 000 Hz before surgery compared to the other two groups, and the difference was statistically significant（P<0.001）; The differences in ABG frequencies and average ABG between the three groups of patients before and after surgery were statistically significant（P<0.05）; Postoperative ABG: The group preserving the ossicular chain had a smaller difference compared to the other two groups, with a statistically significant difference（P<0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference between the cartilage plus high stapes group and the PORP group（P>0.05）; ③At 3 months post surgery, all patients achieved ear dryness. Two patients experienced delayed facial paralysis after conservative treatment, and all recovered. One patient had a slight decrease in bone conductivity due to the influence of grinding during hammer anvil fixation surgery, and one patient experienced a recurrence after 4 years due to residual surgery. 81 patients（65.85%） experienced non cartilage repair area invagination during postoperative follow-up, of which 5 patients（4.07%, 5/123） underwent a second surgery. Although the rest of the patients had local invagination, they could still self clean and did not form a cholesteatoma. The total recurrence rate was 4.88%（6/123）, with an average recurrence time of 4 years. Conclusion:Atticotomy surgery is most commonly used for pars flaccida cholesteatomas with limited scope. The incidence of postoperative retraction is high, and regular follow-up is necessary; When conditions permit during surgery, priority can be given to preserving the ossicular chain for better postoperative hearing. Both cartilage elevation of stapes and PORP implantation can effectively improve hearing, and there is no difference in postoperative hearing between the two methods. However, there is a risk of detachment and high cost after PORP surgery, and cartilage elevation of stapes is limited by insufficient height and stapes head erosion. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a comprehensive hearing reconstruction method based on the patient's condition.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of eating out among children and adolescents aged 6-17 in Hebei Province, and to explore the association between eating out and overweight/obesity. Methods: Data came from Children and Nurse Nutrition Health Monitoring of China during 2016-2017. Questionnaire surveys and anthropometric measures was conducted among 3 330 children aged 6-17 in 12 survey sites. Multivariate Logistics stepwise regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of eating out and the relationship between eating out and overweight/obesity. Results: The proportion of eating out was 16.19%, and the rate of overweight and obesity was 29.43%. Multivariate analysis showed that the older children (junior high school students:OR=1.36; high school students:OR=3.57, both P<0.05) and adolescents from highincome families (10 000~<20 000 CNY:OR=1.48; ≥20 000 CNY:OR=2.93, both P<0.05) were more likely to eat out. Children and adolescents living in rural areas (OR=0.20, P<0.01), nononlychild (OR=0.76, P=0.02), day school students (OR=0.21, P<0.01), and the primary caregivers of the elderly (OR=0.69, P=0.03) were less likely to eat out. In addition, eating out was statistically associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity (OR=1.31, P<0.01). Conclusion Eating out is common among children and adolescents aged 6-17 in Hebei Province. Residency, age, household income, onechild family, boarding and and eating out behaviors of primary caregivers are associated with eating out among children and adolescents. Eating out may increase the risk of overweight/obesity in children.

【Objective】 To explore the safety of RhD-positive red blood cells (RBCs) immunization schedules in RhD-negative volunteers, so as to facilitate the development of domestic anti-D immunoglobulin. 【Methods】 From January 2018 to April 2020, 23 RhD negative volunteers with informed consent were enrolled and divided into initial immunization group and booster immunization group. The initial immunization included first immunization, second immunization and third immunization. Four groups, i. e. 3 cases of 20 mL, 8 of 30 mL, 6 of 40 mL, and 6 of 50 mL, were involved in initial immunization. After the initial immunization response, booster immunizations were performed every 3 months. According to the anti-D titer before each immunization, the booster immunization doses were set to 0.5, 1 and 2 mL. Whole blood samples of 5mL/ person (time) were collected 24 h and 1 week after each infusion, and the blood routine, liver, kidney and blood coagulation function and anti-D titer were detected. The differences of detection (index) values at 24 h and 1 week after the first immunization and booster immunization in each (dose) group were compared. 【Results】 No statistically significant differences were observed in hemolysis index values (all within the range of medical reference values) 24 h or 1 week after initial immunization among RhD positive RBCs of 20, 30, 40 and 50mL(P>0.05). The differences between the hemolysis index values and the basic values before the immune response (all within the range of medical reference values) after 0.5 or 1 mL booster immunizations were also not statistically different (P>0.05). However, the differences (μmol/L)between total bilirubin levels and the basic values before the immune response (1.55±1.87, 6.29±2.66) were significantly different after 2 mL booster immunization (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 No risks affecting the safety of RhD negative volunteers was found in the immunization schedule proposed in this study.

Objective To look for more serum biomarkers supporting the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy ( MSA) and providing more evidence for early treatment.Methods All patients and healthy controls were enrolled from January 2011 to March 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Demographic features and biochemical examination results were collected.The t test was used to compare the lipid levels between MSA patients and controls.LSD-t test was used to compare the lipid levels among subtypes of MSA patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors.The relevance between lipid levels and onset age, disease duration and Hoehn & Yahr stage was calculated by Spearman correlation coefficients.Results Participants included 195 MSA patients and 195 age-and gender-matched controls with no neurological diseases.The levels of total cholesterol ((4.33 ±0.90) mmol/L), triglyceride ((1.27 ±0.71) mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein (LDL;(2.70 ±0.76) mmol/L) were significantly lower in patients than in controls ((4.52 ±0.85), (1.47 ± 0.86), (2.85 ±0.71) mmol/L ,t=2.056,2.528 and 2.149 respectively, all P<0.05).The levels of total cholesterol ((4.28 ±0.96) mmol/L) and triglyceride ((1.20 ±0.64) mmol/L) were significantly lower in MSA-P patients than in control group ((4.52 ±0.85), (1.47 ±0.86) mmol/L;LSD-t=1.983, 2.566, both P<0.05).After adjusting for age, gender and histories, the odds ratio ( OR) was 0.31 (95%CI 0.15-0.65, P =0.002 ) for MSA patients in the highest quartile of triglyceride and 0.38 (95%CI 0.17 -0.83,P=0.016) for those in the highest quartile of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), compared with the lowest quartiles.And HDL level was in a significantly positive correlation with onset age (r=0.15, P=0.039).Conclusion Our data suggest that triglyceride and HDL may be associated with the prevalence of MSA, and the lower levels of HDL, the earlier onset of MSA.

Objective To describe the patients′satisfaction with multimodal analgesia management after total knee arthroplasty. Methods 110 patients with total knee arthroplasty selected from February 2013 to February 2014 were recruited to complete a questionnaire, which was composed of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) , the Houston Pain Outcome Instrument (HPOI), and the Scale of Perceptions of Patients′Pain. Results VAS scores at different times were ranged from (2.14±1.21) points to (1.19±0.62) points, mean rating for general satisfaction with pain management was 80.04% (136.06/170.00), satisfaction with education on pain control was only 63.20% (37.92/60.00). Patients with different age and educational level of satisfaction with pain control had significant differences (P<0.05). Patients who thought relieving pain was harmful was 56.4% (62/110), the patients who did not understand the impact of pain on the body was 62.7% (69/110), the patients who did not understand the common methods of analgesia was 59.1%(65/110), the patients who did not understand the adverse reactions of pain measures was 63.6% (70/110). Conclusions Patients′satisfaction with the analgesic effect of multimodal analgesia is higher after total knee arthroplasty, while satisfaction with education on pain control was lower. Nurses should strengthen health education to patients with total knee arthroplasty about knowledgement of multimodal analgesia.

New oral fluoropyrimidines,such as capecitabine and S-1,have been widely used for elderly patients with a certain efficiency and slight toxicity.Fluorouracil combined with platinum program probably enhances the effectiveness,but also increases the incidence of adverse reactions.There are a few clinical reports about triple-drug combination for elderly patients,but the toxicity is obvious and the efficacy is not certain.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of ropivacaine on the proliferation and migration of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and provide basis for the clinical application of BMSCs. METHODS: Rat BMSCs were isolated and cultured by adherence method. Surface markers of BMSCs were examined by flow cytometry. Multipotent differentiation of BMSCs was detected by induced adipogenesis, osteogenesis and muscular differentiation. Proliferation of BMSCs was examined by CCK-8 and Brdu incorporation after ropivacaine treatment at different concentrations. Migration of BMSCs was tested by cell scratch assay and Millicell experiment. RESULTS: Cultured cells had representative appearance and surface markers of BMSC, and they had potential multiple differentiation. Ropivacaine treatment at 50 and 100 μmol/L significantly reduced the proliferation rate of BMSCs and Brdu incorporation rate. There was significant difference compared with the control group (P<0.05). Cellular scratch assay and migration experiment indicated that ropivacaine significantly reduced the migration of BMSCs. There was significant difference compared with the control group (P<0.05). All these mentioned effects of ropivacaine on BMSCs were dose-dependent. There was significant difference between groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Ropivacaine can significantly reduce the proliferation and migration of rat BMSCs, suggesting that the influence of local anesthetics on BMSCs has to be taken into account when BMSCs are used in clinical practice.
