Objective: To investigate the association between uric acid level and elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents in Guangzhou, so as to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of hypertension in the pediatric population. Methods: From March to December 2019, using stratified cluster random sampling, 3 626 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years without elevated blood pressure at baseline were recruited from 6 primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou. Serum uric acid levels were measured at baseline, and divided into four groups ( Q1-Q 4) based on age and sex specific quartiles for analyses. Two waves of follow up were carried out from October 2020 to May 2021 and from October 2021 to May 2022, respectively. Multilevel robust Poisson regression was used to evaluate the association between uric acid level and elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents. The additive interaction between high uric acid level and sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) intake on elevated blood pressure was assessed by stratification analysis and calculation of the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Results: A total of 1 131 new cases of elevated blood pressure were identified during the two follow ups, with an incidence density of 130.5 cases 1 000 person years. Multilevel robust Poisson regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounders such as gender, age and annual family income, compared with those in the uric acid Q 1 level, the risk of elevated blood pressure in individuals in the Q 4 level increased by 25% ( RR=1.25, 95%CI =1.08-1.44), and the risk of elevated systolic blood pressure increased by 20% ( RR=1.20, 95%CI =1.05-1.36) (both P <0.05); no statistical association was observed between uric acid and elevated diastolic blood pressure (all P >0.05). In the stratified analysis, the statistical associations of uric acid Q 4 level with elevated blood pressure ( RR=1.34, 95%CI =1.13-1.58) and elevated systolic blood pressure ( RR=1.33, 95%CI =1.14-1.55) were only observed in the group with SSB intake ≥ 250 mL/week (both P <0.05). The RERI values for the effect of uric acid Q 4 and Q 3 levels with SSB intake ≥ 250 mL/week on elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 0.29 and 0.44 (both P <0.05). Conclusions High uric acid level is a risk factor for elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents, with a predominant effect on systolic blood pressure. High uric acid level and SSB intake synergistically promote the increase of blood pressure of children and adolescents.

Objective To investigate the temporal predictive value of soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1(sTREM-1),procalcitonin(PCT),and myeloid-related protein 8/14(MRP8/14)for secondary acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)in patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods A retro-spective cohort study was conducted among patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis admitted between January 2021 and December 2024.Patients were randomly assigned in an 8∶2 ratio to a training set(n=148)and a valida-tion set(n=37).Serum sTREM-1,PCT,and MRP8/14 were extracted from the electronic medical record at three time points:on admission(day 0),day 3,and day 7.Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors,and predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results A total of 185 patients were included.In the training set(n=148),27 developed ARDS and 121 did not;in the validation set(n=37),7 developed ARDS and 30 did not.In the training set,serum sTREM-1,PCT,and MRP8/14 levels showed significant temporal changes(P<0.05).At admission,day 3,and day 7,levels of sTREM-1,PCT,and MRP8/14 were higher in the ARDS group than in the non-ARDS group(all P<0.05).At each time point,sTREM-1,PCT,and MRP8/14 were independently associated with the development of ARDS(P<0.05).In the training set,the combination of sTREM-1,PCT,and MRP8/14 at admission yielded the largest area under the ROC curve[AUC=0.976;95%confidence interval(CI),0.952～1.000],with a sensitivity of 88.9%and a specificity of 98.3%.In the validation set,the same combination achieved an AUC of 0.957(95%CI,0.895～1.000),with a sensitivity of 100.0%and a specificity of 86.7%.Conclusion Dynamic changes in sTREM-1,PCT,and MRP8/14 provide temporal predictive value for ARDS in patients with severe pulmonary tuberculosis,and the combined assessment improves early warning accuracy.

Objective:To construct an evidence-based practice program for dietary management of patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on best evidence and to evaluate the effectiveness of its application.Methods:The best evidence for dietary management of non-dialysis CKD patients was summarized. From September to October 2022, following the evidence clinical transformation model of the Fudan University Centre for Evidence-based Nursing, the best evidence was screened and evidence-based practice program were developed, taking into account patients' wishes, expert opinions, and clinical contexts. From November 2022 through March 2023, baseline reviews, analysis of barriers and facilitators were implemented. Between April 2023 and April 2024, evidence-based practice was carried out in the Department of Nephrology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University to compare the implementation rate of review indicators at the system, practitioner, and patient levels, and practitioners' knowledge before and after the application of evidence.Results:A total of 14 review indicators were developed. The implementation rate of the 12 review indicators and the practitioners' knowledge of the CKD diet were elevated after the evidence-based practice ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based practice program for dietary management of patients with non-dialysis CKD has a positive effect on improving practitioners' knowledge of non-dialysis CKD diets, implementation rate of dietary management behaviors, and patients' dietary behaviors.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral anisodine hydrobromide tablets in the treatment of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).Methods:A multicenter nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted.A total of 282 acute NAION patients (282 eyes) were recruited from 16 hospitals in China from July 2020 to May 2021.Patients were divided into two groups according to treatment methods, which were control group (124 cases, 124 eyes) receiving regular treatment including citicoline sodium plus Ginkgo biloba leaf liquid extract or Ginkgo biloba leaf extract tablets plus mecobalamin, and experimental group (158 cases, 158 eyes) receiving treatment in control group plus oral anisodine hydrobromide tablets 1 mg, twice daily for 2 to 3 months.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field index (VFI), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and radial peripapillary capillary vessel density (RPC) were assessed at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months after enrollment using the standard decimal visual acuity chart, 750i Humphery visual field analyzer, Cirrus HD-OCT 4000/Cirrus HD-OCT 5000, RTVue-XR optical coherence tomography respectively.The primary outcomes were BCVA and VFI, and the secondary outcomes were pRNFL, RPC, and the side effects during the follow-up.The study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.All patients were fully informed about the treatment and purpose of this study and voluntarily signed the informed consent form.The study protocol was approved by Chinese PLA General Hospital (No.S2020-021-01). Results:In all, 242 patients (242 eyes) completed the follow-up of BCVA, and 98 patients (98 eyes) completed the VFI follow-up.In terms of visual function, BCVA and VFI improved significantly over time in the two groups, and BCVA and VFI were better in experimental group than in control group at various follow-up time points (all at P<0.05). In terms of structure, pRNFL gradually decreased in both groups with the extension of treatment, and pRNFL was significanthy thinner in experimental group than in control group at various follow-up time points (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in RPC between the two groups at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). There were two cases with side effects and one case was discontinued due to side effects 25 days after enrollment. Conclusions:Oral anisodine hydrobromide can improve visual acuity and visual field in NAION and accelerate the regression of optic disc edema, with good safety.

The purpose of this paper was to find a safe and effective concentration of lido- caine in intravenous combining anesthesia.33 cases had been maintained with the intravenous instillation of 0.5% lidocaine and 0.1% scotine the lidocaine concentrations at the period of after introduction,30＇,60＇,90＇,120＇and recovery were measured respectively.The safty and effective range of this drug would be 2.1—5?g/ml. Also,in this paper,the relationship between the rate of instilation and the concentration of Lidocaine was studied.There was a positive correlation between the drope per minute amd the concentration during the period of the first 60 minutes. After 90 minutes from the beginning,there was no linear correlation.If we want to maintain the safty and effective blood concentration(2.1—5?g/ml), the necessary rate of instillation is 46?10 drops/minute during the first 60 minutes and 27.8?5 drops/minute after 90 minutes.This result shows that lidocaine is easy to accumulate obviously in the body.If we want the patient to recover at the time of the operation just performed,we must stop this drug 50 miuutes before the operation is finished.
