Methods:
This study enrolled 51 patients with LDK out of 382 patients with adult degenerative spinal deformity. Baseline information was reviewed including demographic data and complications. Sagittal spinopelvic alignments and global imbalance parameters were assessed on full-length X-ray images of the spine. Muscularity and the fatty infiltration area of the ES and multifidus (MF) were measured at the L4/5 level on preoperative magnetic resonance image to evaluate the lumbar erector muscle atrophy. Stratification by sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was performed: group 1 with SVA <100 mm and group 2 with SVA >100 mm, and these groups were compared. Spearman correlation and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze and define risk factors of postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK).
Results:
Group 2 had lower ES and MF muscularity than group 1. ES muscularity correlated with SVA (r=−0.510, p<0.003), lumbar lordosis (r=−0.415, p<0.018), and postoperative PJK (r=−0.508, p<0.022). MF muscularity did not correlate with the above parameters. Multivariable logistic regression analysis verified ES muscularity (odds ratio [OR], 0.001; p<0.039) and SVA (OR, 1.034; p<0.048) as the risk factors for postoperative PJK.
Conclusions
ES atrophy, besides the MF, is an important predictor in distinguishing decompensated LDK from well-compensated ones. It plays an important role in compensatory mechanism, not only correlates with global sagittal imbalance but also ties to PJK after deformity corrective surgery.

Objective To analyze the levels of IgE,TNF-α and FeNO in children with acute attack of bronchial asthma and their correlation with the severity of bronchial asthma, so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical evaluation of bronchial asthma. Methods A total of 547 children with acute bronchial asthma treated in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected and divided into mild group (n=287), moderate group (n=186) and severe group (n=74) according to the severity of their disease. All the children's symptoms were controlled after treatment. The serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels in the experimental group were compared between the acute attack stage and the clinical control stage. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels and the severity of the disease. ROC curve of children with bronchial asthma was drawn to analyze the differential diagnosis value of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels in children with acute bronchial asthma. Results The levels of IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in acute stage were significantly higher than those in clinical control stage (P<0.05). The levels of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in severe group were higher than those in mild and moderate groups significantly (P<0.05). The levels of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in moderate group were higher than those in mild group significantly (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO water were positively correlated with the severity of bronchial asthma (r=0.419 , 0.438 , 0.502 , P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC, sensitivity, accuracy and specificity of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels combined in diagnosing the severity of bronchial asthma in patients with acute attack was 0.938 (95% CI: 0.912-0.982 ), 83.47%, 92.06%, 94.28%. Conclusion The level of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in children with acute attack of bronchial asthma is closely related to the severity of the disease, and combined detection of the three can be used to evaluate the severity of the disease in children.

Objective:To explore the consistency of peripheral whole blood and venous serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels, and the value of peripheral whole blood PCT in evaluating pediatric bacterial infection.Methods:This multicenter cross-sectional parallel control study was conducted in 11 children′s hospital. All the 1 898 patients older than 28 days admitted to these hospitals from March 2018 to February 2019 had their peripheral whole blood and venous serum PCT detected simultaneously with unified equipment, reagent and method. According to the venous serum PCT level, the patients were stratified to subgroups. Analysis of variance and chi-square test were used to compare the demographic characteristics among groups. And the correlation between the peripheral blood and venous serum PCT level was investigated by quantitative Pearson correlation analysis.The PCT resultes were also converted into ranked data to further test the consistency between the two sampling methods by Spearman′s rank correlation test. Furthermore, the ranked data were converted into binary data to evaluate the consistency and investigate the best cut-off of peripheral blood PCT level in predicting bacterial infection.Results:A total of 1 898 valid samples were included (1 098 males, 800 females),age 27.4(12.2,56.7) months. There was a good correlation between PCT values of peripheral whole blood and venous serum ( r=0.97 , P<0.01). The linear regression equation was PCT?venous serum=0.135+0.929×PCT peripheral whole blood. However, when stratified to 5 levels, PCT results showed diverse and unsatisfied consistency between the two sampling methods ( r=0.51-0.92, all P<0.01). But after PCT was converted to ordinal categorical variables, the stratified analysis showed that the coincidence rate of the measured values by the two sampling methods in each boundary area was 84.9%-97.1%. The dichotomous variables also showed a good consistency (coincidence rate 96.8%-99.3%, Youden index 0.82-0.89). According to the severity of disease, the serum PCT value was classified into 4 intervals(<0.5、0.5-<2.0、2.0-<10.0、≥10.0 μg/L), and the peripheral blood PCT value also showed a good predictive value (AUC value was 0.991 2-0.997 9). The optimal cut points of peripheral whole blood PCT value 0.5、1.0、2.0、10.0 μg/L corresponding to venous serum PCT values were 0.395, 0.595, 1.175 and 3.545 μg/L, respectively. Conclusions:There is a good correlation between peripheral whole blood PCT value and the venous serum PCT value, which means that the peripheral whole blood PCT could facilitate the identification of infection and clinical severity. Besides, the sampling of peripheral whole blood is simple and easy to repeat.

OBJECTIVE:To study the spectrum-ef fect relationship of anti-hepatoma effect of C Ⅱ-3 extract from Periplaneta americana,and to preliminarily clarify the anti-hepatoma active components of it. METHODS :Based on UHPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of C Ⅱ-3 samples,with the help of UHPL C-Q-TOF/MS,the compounds corresponding to each chromatographic peak were identified qualitatively by standard substances and related literatures. Using the IC 50 value of each batch of C Ⅱ-3 sample against human hepatoma cells HepG 2 as anti-hepatoma activity index ,the spectrum-effect relationship of fingerprint and anti-hepatoma effect was established and analyzed by the combination of grey relational analysis (GRA)and orthogonal partial least squares(OPLS). RESULTS :There were 25 common peaks in UHPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of C Ⅱ-3 samples,and 10 chemical compounds were identified ,which were cyclo- (Tyr-Pro)(peak 24),cyclo-(Gly-Phe)(peak 15),hypoxanthine(peak 3), adenine(peak 7),phenylalanine(peak 10),inosine(peak 11),N-acetyldopamine(peak 16),cyclo-(Pro-Ala)(peak 13),2-hydroxy propionyl(peak 22),cyclo-(Pro-Ser)(peak 6). The IC 50 of 10 batches of C Ⅱ-3 samples to HepG 2 cells was 70.550-200.303 μg/mL. Among 25 common peaks ,the order of GRA correlation (r)of anti-hepatoma activity was peak 20>23>24>15,all of r values were greater than 0.7;the order of variable importance projection (VIP)of OPLS analysis was peak 23>18>15>24>7>14>6> 2>20,all of VIP values were greater than 1. The standard regression coefficients of peak 7,15,20,23,24 were all greater than 0;while the standard regression coefficients of peak 2,6,14,18 were all less than 0. Conjoint analysis shows that the order of anti-hepatoma activity was peak 20>23>24>15. CONCLUSIONS:unknown chemical ingredients (peak 20, ),cyclo-(Tyr-Pro)(peak 24)and cyclo- (Gly-Phe)(peak 15) in C Ⅱ-3 may be main anti-hepatoma active components.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the acute toxicity, long-term toxicity, skin irritation and anaphylaxis of Bee venom (BV) plastics, and to evaluate its preclinical safety. METHODS: The acute toxicity of BV plastics to rats was investigated after administration of high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose (144, 96, 48 mg/kg) of BV plastics. The long-term toxicity of BV plastics was investigated by continuous administration of high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose (72, 48, 24 mg/kg) of BV plastics for 28 days. The irritation of intact and damaged skin in rabbits with 8 mg/kg BV plastics was investigated by using the self-control method of left and right homologous body. The skin anaphylaxis of guinea pig were investigated after sensitized with 15 mg/kg BV plastics on the left back (on 0, 7th, 14th day) and stimulated with 15 mg/kg BV plastics on the right back. RESULTS: During the acute toxicity experiment with BV plastic,the weight of rats and the changes of viscera were normal,and there was no relevant toxic reaction. Long-term toxicity test results showed that no significant pathological changes were observed at 24 h after the last administration; the spleen index of rats in BV low-dose group, testicular index in middle-dose group and epididymis index in high-dose and middle-dose groups were significantly increased, while PT in plasma of rats in BV medium-dose and low-dose groups was significantly prolonged (P<0.05). There were no abnormal changes in organ appearance, other organ index, coagulation index and blood biochemical index. All above indexes became normal at the end of 2-week recovery period. Skin irritation test showed that BV plastics could cause slight erythema and obvious scab on the skin of rabbits which along with little irritation on intact or damaged skin. Skin anaphylaxis test showed that BV plastics produced mild erythema in the skin of guinea pigs, belonging to light allergy. CONCLUSIONS: No acute or long-term toxicity is observed after transdermal administration of BV plastics, which is safe and only causes mild irritation and irritability to skin, indicating there is good safety of the plastic under experiment doses.
