Post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is a rare condition characterized by the rapid onset of extreme fatigue, flu-like symptoms, difficulty concentrating, depression, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, itchy eyes, and other physical and psychological discomforts following ejaculation. This report presents the outcomes of two patients with POIS who underwent a two-year course of autologous seminal plasma subcutaneous cluster immunotherapy. Treatment efficacy was assessed using methods such as the symptom Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Union Physio-Psycho-Social Assessment Questionnaire (UPPSAQ)-70, and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). The results suggest that autologous seminal plasma subcutaneous cluster immunother-apy may be a safe and effective therapeutic approach for POIS.

Objective To explore the expression of serum miR-410-3p in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and its relationship with knee soft tissue lesions.Methods A total of 89 RA patients admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into the active group(42 cases)and the remission group(47 cases)according to disease activity score in 28 joints(DAS28).In addition,52 healthy volunteers underwent physical examination during the same period in our hospital were selected as the healthy group.The expression level of serum miR-410-3p was detected by RT-PCR,the lesions of knee soft tissue was examined by ultrasound,and the relationship between the expression of serum miR-410-3p and knee soft tissue lesions was analyzed by Pearson.Results The expression levels of serum miR-410-3p of patients in the active group and the remission group were lower than that in the healthy group(P<0.05),and the expression level of serum miR-410-3p of patients in the active group was lower than that in the remission group(P<0.05).The cartilage thicknesses of medial and lateral ankle of patients in the active group and the remission group were smaller than those in the healthy group(P<0.05),and the above indexes in the active group were smaller than those in the remission group(P<0.05).The depths of suprapatellar bursa fluid and synovial thicknesses of patients in the active group and the remission group were greater than those in the healthy group(P<0.05),and the depth of suprapatellar bursa fluid and synovial thickness of patients in the active group were greater than those in the remission group(P<0.05).The level of serum miR-410-3p in RA patients was positively correlated with the depth of suprapatellar bursa fluid and synovial thickness(P<0.05),and negatively correlated with the cartilage thicknesses of medial and lateral ankle(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum miR-410-3p expression level in RA patients is decreased,which was closely related to knee soft tissue lesions,detecting the changes of serum miR-410-3p level may provide a reference for the evaluation of knee soft tissue lesions.

Objective:Analyze the medical reimbursement rate and influencing factors under the DIP payment method to refine the DIP payment policy,promote the optimization of internal operations in medical institutions,and ensure reasonable compensation.Methods:Based on the 2022 DIP fund settlement data from 196 medical institutions in City A,the study used multiple linear regression to analyze the factors affecting medical reimbursement rate and conducted a heterogeneity analysis for medical institutions of different levels.Results:The medical reimbursement rate for medical institutions in City A in 2022 was 103.32%.Medical institutions with lower CMI standardized inpatient costs,lower rates of deviation cases,tertiary care institutions,lower proportion of level-four surgeries,and lower ratios of resident to employee medical insurance cases have higher medical reimbursement rate(P<0.05).Heterogeneity analysis reveals that therates of deviation cases,the proportion of primary care diseases,the ratio of resident to employee medical insurance cases,and the low-standard admission rate have different impacts on medical institutions of different levels.Conclusion:Medical insurance departments should improve policies for primary care diseases,dynamically adjust disease catalogs and payment standards,optimize funding levels and institutional coefficients,and increase penalties for violations to ensure effective use of funds.Medical institutions need to strengthen their understanding of policies,focus on refined internal management,promote standardized and rational diagnosis and treatment through performance assessment transformation,and leverage their own advantages in medical services to reasonably increase the medical reimbursement rate.

Objective: To assess the prevalence, risk factors and treatment of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A descriptive method was used to analyze the prevalence and treatment of anemia in CKD patients based on regional health data in Yinzhou District of Ningbo during 2012-2018. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent influence factors of anemia in the CKD patients. Results: In 52 619 CKD patients, 15 639 suffered from by anemia (29.72%), in whom 5 461 were men (26.41%) and 10 178 were women (31.87%), and anemia prevalence was higher in women than in men, the difference was significant (P<0.001). The prevalence of anemia increased with stage of CKD (24.77% in stage 1 vs. 69.42% in stage 5, trend χ² test P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that being women (aOR=1.57, 95%CI: 1.50-1.63), CKD stage (stage 2: aOR=1.10, 95%CI: 1.04-1.16;stage 3: aOR=2.28,95%CI: 2.12-2.44;stage 4: aOR=4.49,95%CI :3.79-5.32;stage 5: aOR=6.31,95%CI: 4.74-8.39), age (18-30 years old: aOR=2.40,95%CI: 2.24-2.57, 61-75 years old: aOR=1.35,95%CI:1.28-1.42, ≥76 years old: aOR=2.37,95%CI:2.20-2.55), BMI (<18.5 kg/m²:aOR=1.29,95%CI: 1.18-1.41;23.0-24.9 kg/m²:aOR=0.79,95%CI: 0.75-0.83;≥25.0 kg/m²:aOR=0.70,95%CI: 0.66-0.74), abdominal obesity (aOR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.86-0.96), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aOR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.09-1.22), cancer (aOR=3.03, 95%CI: 2.84-3.23), heart failure (aOR=1.44, 95%CI: 1.35-1.54) and myocardial infarction (aOR=1.54, 95%CI:1.16-2.04) were independent risk factors of anemia in CKD patients. Among stage 3-5 CKD patients with anemia, 12.03% received iron therapy, and 4.78% received treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) within 12 months after anemia was diagnosed. Conclusions: The prevalence of anemia in CKD patients was high in Yinzhou. However, the treatment rate of iron therapy and ESA were low. More attention should be paid to the anemia management and treatment in CKD patients.

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of various types of infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN) and the prognosis of different treatment methods in the imaging classification of IPN proposed. Methods: The clinical data of 126 patients with IPN admitted to the Department of Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from December 2018 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 70 males(55.6%) and 56 females(44.4%), with age(M(IQR)) of 44(17)years (range: 12 to 87 years). There were 67 cases(53.2%) of severe acute pancreatitis and 59 cases (46.8%) of moderately severe acute pancreatitis. All cases were based on the diagnostic criteria of IPN. All cases were divided into Type Ⅰ(central IPN)(n=21), Type Ⅱ(peripheral IPN)(n=23), Type Ⅲ(mixed IPN)(n=74) and Type Ⅳ(isolated IPN)(n=8) according to the different sites of infection and necrosis on CT.According to different treatment strategies,they were divided into Step-up group(n=109) and Step-jump group(n=17). The clinical indicators and prognosis of each group were observed and analyzed by ANOVA,t-test,χ² test or Fisher exact test,respectively. Results: There was no significant difference in mortality, complication rate and complication grade in each type of IPN(all P>0.05). Compared with other types of patients, the length of stay (69(40)days vs. 19(19)days) and hospitalization expenses(323 000(419 000)yuan vs. 60 000(78 000)yuan) were significantly increased in Type Ⅳ IPN(Z=-4.041, -3.972; both P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative residual infection of Type Ⅳ IPN was significantly higher than that of other types (χ²=16.350,P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the mortality of patients with different types of IPN between different treatment groups. The length of stay and hospitalization expenses of patients in the Step-up group were significantly less than those in the Step-jump group(19(20)days vs. 33(35)days, Z=-2.052, P=0.040;59 000(80 000)yuan vs. 122 000(109 000)yuan,Z=-2.317,P=0.020). Among the patients in Type Ⅳ IPN, the hospitalization expenses of Step-up group was significantly higher than that of Step-jump group(330 000(578 000)yuan vs. 141 000 yuan,Z=-2.000,P=0.046). The incidence of postoperative residual infection of Step-up group(17.4%(19/109)) was significantly lower than that of Step-jump group(10/17)(χ²=11.980, P=0.001). Conclusions: Type Ⅳ IPN is more serious than the other three types. It causes longer length of stay and more hospitalization expenses. The step-up approach is safe and effective in the treatment of IPN. However, for infected lesions which are deep in place,difficult to reach by conventional drainage methods, or mainly exhibit "dry necrosis", choosing the step-jump approach is a more positive choice.

BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated the benefit of complete multivessel revascularization versus culprit-only intervention in patients of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease. However, only a few single-center retrospective studies were performed on small Chinese cohorts. Our study aims to demonstrate the advantage of multivessel percutaneous intervention (PCI) strategy on 30-day in-hospital outcomes to patients with STEMI and multivessel disease in larger Chinese population. METHODS: From the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Acute Coronary Syndrome (CCC-ACS) project, 5935 patients with STEMI and multivessel disease undergoing PCI and hospitalized for fewer than 30 days were analyzed. After 5: 1 propensity score matching, 3577 patients with culprit-only PCI and 877 with in-hospital multivessel PCI were included. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), defined as a composite of myocardial infarction, all-cause death, stent thrombosis, heart failure, and stroke. RESULTS: Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that in-hospital multivessel PCI was associated with lower risk of 30-day MACCE (adjusted OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57-0.98, P = 0.032) than culprit-only PCI and conferred no increased risk of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, or bleeding. Subgroup analysis showed that MACCE reduction was observed more often from patients with trans-femoral access (OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15-0.74) than with trans-radial access (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.66-1.16, P for interaction = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS The in-hospital multivessel PCI strategy was associated with a lower risk of 30-day MACCE than culprit-only PCI in patients with STEMI and multivessel coronary artery disease.

The theory of Zang Xiang is the core of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,and its content mostly comes from the comparison of images.Among them,the liver Zang of"main drainage"and"main blood storage"involves many systems such as nerve,digestion,circulation,hematopoiesis,reproduction and so on.It is difficult to find the corresponding anatomical organs or tissues in western medicine.The author analyzes and believes that the collection of the functional system of the liver system of traditional Chinese medicine,compares the physiological function and pathological changes of the liver system with the histamine receptor distributed in multiple systems of the whole body,as well as the main symptoms and adverse reactions of the drugs regulating the histamine receptor,and believes that the functional system composed of histamine receptors may carry the important functions of the liver system of traditional Chinese medicine.

AIM:To discuss the efficacy and safety of orthokeratology with reducing back optic zone diameter(5mm-BOZD)compared with conventional back optic zone diameter(6mm-BOZD)in the treatment of adolescent myopia.METHODS: A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed. There were 100 cases with 100 eyes of adolescent myopia(all right eye data were taken)selected from April 2016 to January 2019, the spherical degree was -1.00--5.00D. Then they were randomly divided into the two groups. The experimental group wore 5mm-BOZD orthokeratology, and the control group wore 6mm-BOZD orthokeratology. Their axis length(AL), spherical equivalent(SE), relative peripheral refraction(RPR), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), uncorrected near visual acuity(NVA), Efron grading was applied to record the anterior segment of the eyes, corneal hysteresis(CH), corneal resistance factor(CRF), corneal-compensated intraocular pressure(IOPcc), average noninvasive Keratograph tear breakup time(NIKBUTav)and higher order aberration(RMSh) were compared between the two groups during the 1a treatment period.RESULTS: After 1a of treatment, the AL in experimental group increased 0.05±0.05mm,while it increased 0.15±0.05mm(t=-8.949, P<0.001)in control group. The SE in experimental group increased -0.18±0.27D,while it increased-0.42±0.35D(t=3.609, P=0.001)in control group. There were statistical differences in RPR changes at N30°, N20° and T30°sites between the two groups(P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in BCVA,NVA,Efron grade,CH,CRF,IOPcc,NIKBUTav and RMSh between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Reducing back optic zone diameter orthokeratology can correct adolescent myopia safely and more effectively during the observation period.

Objective:To quantify the left ventricular myocardial work in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and to evaluate the changes in left ventricular systolic function after TOF repair by pressure-strain loops (PSL).Methods:Seventy-six cases of children after TOF complete surgery in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from September 2015 to September 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 41 cases in the ≤4-year group and 35 cases in the >4-year group. Seventy-six healthy children with matched body surface area in the same period were selected as the control group. All subjects underwent complete echocardiography and quantitative analysis of left ventricular myocardial work, including global longitudinal strain (GLS), global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE). Compared with the normal control group, the changes of left ventricular myocardial work after TOF repair were analyzed. For patients with complete echocardiographic data before and after surgery, the correlation between postoperative left ventricular myocardial work and preoperative degree of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction was analyzed.Results:①In the ≤4-year group, compared with control subjects, GLS, GWI, GCW, GWE decreased, and GWW increased in patients with repaired TOF. All the differences were statistically significant [(-20.00±1.52)% vs (-21.59±1.73)%, (1 349.37±133.63)mmHg% vs (1 553.51±246.09)mmHg%, (1 589.39±167.85)mmHg% vs (1 749.12±249.45)mmHg%, 94.0%(94.0%, 95.0%) vs 96.0%(95.0%, 97.0%), (78.80±20.53)mmHg% vs (62.27±21.44)mmHg%; all P<0.05]. ②In >4-year group, compared with the control group, GLS, GWI, GWE decreased, and GWW increased in patients with repaired TOF. All the differences were statistically significant [(-19.89±1.66)% vs (-21.31±1.60)%, (1 486.09±172.42)mmHg% vs (1 713.14±227.05)mmHg%, 96.0%(94.0%, 96.0%) vs 97.0%(96.0%, 97.0%), 75.00(65.00, 95.00)mmHg% vs 55.00(42.00, 71.00)mmHg%; all P<0.05]. ③GWW was negatively correlated with preoperative RVOT diameter and RVOT-Z score( r=-0.422, -0.433; both P<0.05). GWE was positively associated with preoperative RVOT diameter and RVOT-Z score( r=0.441, 0.540; both P<0.05). ④GLS, GWI, GCW, GWW, GWE had good repeatability within and between observers.All the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Left ventricular systolic function in patients with repaired TOF is lower than that in healthy children of the same age by echocardiography PSL, although traditional indicators are still within the normal range. Patients with more severe RVOT obstruction before surgery have worse left ventricular systolic function after operation. Quantification of left ventricular myocardial work by echocardiography PSL is helpful for long-term follow-up of children after TOF repair.
