Objective:To investigate the predictive value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at admission for stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively included. The demographic information, vascular risk factors, severity of stroke at admission, and NLR data of the patients were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent correlation between NLR and SAP. The NLR was divided into quartile groups to further analyze the trend relationship between NLR and SAP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of NLR for SAP. Results:A total of 316 patients with AIS were enrolled, including 200 males (63.29%) with an age of 63.86±13.78 years. The median baseline Nationanl Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 4 (interquartile range, 2-9), and the median NLR was 4.42 (interquartile range, 3.17-6.70). Ninety-three patients (29.43%) experienced SAP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR was an independent risk factor for SAP in patients with AIS (odds ratio 1.189, 95% confidence interval 1.077-1.313; P<0.001). Moreover, SAP risk increases with the increase of NLR ( Ptrend<0.001). Compared to the first quartile, the risk of SAP increased 9.991 times in the fourth quartile (95% confidence interval 2.912-34.279; P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of NLR for SAP prediction was 0.793 (95% confidence interval 0.737-0.850), with an optimal cutoff value of 5.475. The sensitivity and specificity for predicting SAP were 66.67% and 79.82%, respectively. Conclusion:NLR at admission is an independent risk factor for SAP in patients with AIS and has certain predictive value for SAP.

To evaluate the value of forward-return way in endoscopic resection for the treatment of gastric fundus stromal tumor, patients with gastric fundus stromal tumor in muscularis propria diagnosed by endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography at the Department of Digestive Endoscopy of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from June 2020 to June 2021 were prospectively enrolled in the study. All patients were treated with endoscopic full-thickness resection under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The success of forward-return way, endoscopic procedure, operation performance, pathological classifications and complications were analyzed. A total of 12 patients were enrolled. All of them were confirmed as having stromal tumor by postoperative pathology, with 10 of very low risk and 2 of low risk. Forward-return way was successful in 9 patients and failed in 3 patients. Nine patients were successfully treated with endoscopic procedure eventually. No intraoperative bleeding occurred in any patient. In endoscopic resection, the scores of same direction of forward and backward, endoscopic field of view, and endoscopic body stability were all 2.00 points. Forward-return way has clinical application value for the endoscopic treatment of gastric fundus stromal tumor.

Objective:To assess the predictive performance of the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) derived from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB-CVD) model, prediction for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk in China (China-PAR) model, and the risk of fatal and nonfatal ischemic cardiovascular diseases derived from the USA-People′s Republic of China Collaborative Study (USA-PRC) model in Chinese Multi-provincial Cohort Study (CMCS).Methods:In this prospective cohort study, a total of 21 948 individuals aged ≥35 years without CVD were selected from 8 provinces and cities in China during the CMCS survey from 1992 to 2005 for 10-year follow-up. The occurrence of CVD or ASCVD events during the follow-up period was used as the gold standard. The CKB-CVD and China-PAR models were used to calculate the predicted risk of CVD events, while the USA-PRC model was used to calculate the predicted risk of ASCVD events. The discrimination of the models was evaluated using the C-statistic, and the calibration was assessed using the Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 test and decile plot. Results:During the 10-year follow-up, a total of 955 (4.4%) CVD events, including 791 (3.6%) ASCVD events, were recorded among the study participants. The C-index for the CKB-CVD, China-PAR, and USA-PRC models were 0.775 (95% CI: 0.757-0.793), 0.781 (95% CI: 0.763-0.798), and 0.769 (95% CI: 0.750-0.789) for men, and 0.762 (95% CI: 0.737-0.788), 0.769 (95% CI: 0.745-0.794), and 0.767 (95% CI: 0.741-0.794) for women, respectively. China-PAR model showed good calibration for men ( χ2=2.20), however, both CKB-CVD and USA-PRC models demonstrated poor calibration in both men and women ( χ2>20). The results indicated that the CKB-CVD model overestimated the risk of CVD events in both males and females, while the China-PAR model underestimated the risk in females. Furthermore, the USA-PRC model underestimated the risk of ASCVD in both males and females in most decile groups, but overestimated the risk in the highest decile group. Conclusion:The CKB-CVD, China-PAR, and USA-PRC risk assessment models show some degree of deviation from the actual risk of events in the CMCS cohort, but all exhibit good discrimination.

Objective:Four cases with NLRP3-related autoinflammatory diseases were reported to summarize the clinical characteristics, genotype, and treatment responses of the disease, and to improve clinical pediatricians' understanding of the disease.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 4 cases with NLRP3-related autoinflammatory diseases diagnosed in Children's Hospital of Anhui Province in 2016—2021, and the clinical features and treatment progress of NLRP3-related autoinflammatory diseases were retrospectively analyzed based on the clinical features, gene reports, and literature review.Results:① All 4 cases were male. Cases 1, 2, and 3 had the disease onset after birth, and case 4 had the disease onset 6 months after birth. All showed periodic fever, repeated urticaria-like rash, protruding forehead, and saddle nose. White blood cells count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein were increased during the attack period, and those in the interval period were normal, and antibiotic treatment was ineffective. ② The genetic test of all these 4 children showed NLRP3 mutation. Children 1, 2, and 3 were heterozygous mutations, and their parents were wild-type. The mutation was located at chromosome Chr1: 247587658, exon c913 (exon3). G>A, the 305th aspartic acid (Asp) of the protein was changed to asparagine (Asn) in child 1. The mutation was located at the chromosomal Chr1: 247588072, the nucleic acid was changed to c1327(exon3)T>C, and the amino acid was changed to p.Y443H in cases 2 and 3. Somatic heterozygous mutation was found in case 4, and the child's parents were wild-type. In this case, the mutation was located at chromosomal Chr1: 247587658, exon3 G>A, and the 305th Asp of the protein was changed to Asn. ③Children in cases 1, 2, and 3 were treated with glucocorticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at the initial stage, but the effects were limited. After receiving IL-1 antagonist treatment fever, skin rash, joint swelling and pain disappeared, and the inflammatory indexes were returned to normal. The child 4 received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and methotrexate, but he failed to respond to the treatment. Treatment with tocilizumab was not effective, however, fever, skin rash, or joint pain disappeared after treated with Khanna.Conclusion:①NLRP3-related autoinflammatory diseases can cause periodic fever, urticaria, joint involvement, and severe involvement of the central nervous system and organ amyloidosis. Which are early misdiagnosis is prone to systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. ②The disease was an inflammatory disease mediated by interleukin-1. At present, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, glucocorticoid and chronic anti-rheumatic drugs have limited effects. IL-1 antagonists are effective and safe in the treatment of the disease.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infected with Delta variant, so as to provide further references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A real-world study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of 166 COVID-19 patients infected with Delta variant at Guangzhou Eighth People’s Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University.Results:The study enrolled 5 asymptomatic cases, 123 non-severe cases (mild and moderate type), and 38 severe cases (severe and critical type). Among these patients, 69 (41.6%) were male and 97 (58.4%) were female, with a mean age of 47.0±23.5 years. Thirty-nine cases (23.5%) had received 1 or 2 doses of inactivated vaccine. The incidence of severe COVID-19 cases was 7.7% in 2-doses vaccinated patients, which was lower than that of 11.5% in 1-dose and 26.8% in unvaccinated patients. The proportion of severe cases in 2 dose-vaccinated patients was 7.7%, which was lower than that of 11.5% in 1-dose vaccinated patients and 26.8% in unvaccinated patients, but the difference was not significant ( P>0.05). The most common clinical symptom was fever (134 cases, 83.2%), and 39.1% of cases presented with high-grade fever (≥39 °C); other symptoms were cough, sputum, fatigue, and xerostomia. The proportion of fever in severe cases was significantly higher than that of non-severe cases (97.4% vs. 76.4%, P<0.01). Similarly, the proportion of severe cases with high peak temperature (≥39 ℃) () was also higher than that of non-severe cases (65.8% vs. 30.9%, P<0.01). The median minimal Cycle threshold (Ct) values of viral nucleic acid N gene and ORFlab gene were 20.3 and 21.5, respectively, and the minimum Ct values were 11.9 and 13.5, respectively. Within 48 h of admission, 9.0% of cases presented with decreased white blood cell counts, and 52.4% with decreased lymphocyte counts. The proportions of increased C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, interleukin 6, and interleukin 10 were 32.5%, 57.4%, 65.3%, and 35.7%, respectively. The proportions of elevated C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A and interleukin-6 in severe cases were significantly higher than those in non-severe cases ( P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that older age and higher peak temperature were associated with a higher likelihood of severe cases ( OR>3, 95% CI: 2-7, P<0.01). In terms of treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was used in 97.6% of non-severe cases and 100% in severe cases. Other treatments included respiratory and nutritional support, immunotherapy (such as neutralizing antibodies and plasma of recovered patients). The median times from admission to progression to severe cases, of fever clearance, and of nucleic acid conversion were 5 days, 6 days and 19 days, respectively. No deaths were reported within 28 days. Conclusions:The symptoms of Delta variant infection in Guangzhou are characterized by a high proportion of fever, high peak temperature, long duration of fever, high viral load, a long time to nucleic acid conversion, and a high incidence of severe cases. The severe cases exhibit a higher percentage of elderly patients, a longer duration of fever and have a higher fever rate and a higher hyperthermia rate than non-severe cases. Age and hyperthermia are independent risk factors for progression to severe disease. The combination of TCM and Western medicine can control the progression of the disease effectively.

Objective To determine the effect of trunk motion control on knee biomechanics during single-leg landing. Methods Twenty male healthy basketball players were recruited. The kinematics, kinetics parameters and surface electromyogram (EMG) of knee joints under trunk motion control during single-leg landing were studied by using Vicon motion Analysis system, Kistler force platform and Noraxon surface EMG system. Results Compared with natural landing, there were significant differences in flexion angle at initial contact moment, peak flexion angle and peak flexion moment during deeply inspiratory landing and landing with a stick, and a significantly larger flexion angle at initial contact moment, a larger peak flexion angle and smaller peak flexion moment were also found. Compared with natural landing, there was no statistical difference in peak valgus angle and peak valgus moment, as well as EMG activity of hamstrings, quadriceps muscles of the knee during deeply inspiratory landing and landing with a stick. Conclusions Deeply inspiratory landing or landing with a stick reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and the results provide the theoretical basis for prevention of ACL injuries in basketball players during landing.

Objective:To analyze the disease spectrum among children who were using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and evaluate the drug′s safety and compliance.Methods:From January 2008 to December 2019, children from Children′s Hospital of Fudan University who used HCQ were selected as subjects, the disease spectrum of HCQ was analyzed, and the drug safety and compliance were evaluated for the patients who were followed up for more than 6 months. Demographic information, diagnosis, initial dose, time of continuous use, cumulative dosage and related adverse reactions report, project and the results of eye test were collected.Results:A total of 528 cases used HCQ during the 12 years, with 156 male cases and 372 female cases, and age at initial medication was (10.5±3.2) years. Among them, 514 cases (97.3%) had rheumatic disease, 5 had pulmonary interstitial lesions and 9 had other system diseases. The top three of the rheumatic diseases were systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 316 cases (316/514,61.5%), juvenile idiopathic arthritis in 69 cases (69/514,13.4%), and juvenile dermatomyositis in 56 cases (56/514,10.9%). During the same period, 397 cases were diagnosed with SLE, and the utilization rate was 79.6% (316/397), which was the highest compared with other diseases and increased year by year. Pulmonary interstitial lesions included 4 cases with SFTPC gene defect related interstitial lung disease. Of the 528 ceses who were treated with HCQ, 397 cases were included for evaluating HCQ′s safety and compliance, the initial dose was (4.2±1.0) mg/kg, duration was 29.6 (14.9, 48.8) months, the longest usage time was 127 months, the largest cumulative dosage was 566.8 g. The continuous usage duration ( Z=-3.191, P=0.001) of SLE was significantly higher than those of other diseases, as well as cumulative dosage ( Z=-5.355, P=0.001). All cases received comprehensive eye exams before medication, 354 cases (354/397, 89.2%) were followed up in the ophthalmological department, and 65.5% (232/354) of them could be reviewed regularly at least 1 time per year. One case suffered from severe skin adverse reactions when the drug was used for 32.7 months, and no other serious adverse reactions were reported. HCQ related retinopathy was not seen during the follow-up period. There were 5 cases stopped HCQ on their own. Conclusions:HCQ was widely used in rheumatic disease in children, especially in those with SLE. It was safe for long-time usage in children, and the medication compliance and the ophthalmic follow-up was good.

Objective:To gain insight into the constitution of juvenile rheumatic diseases, treatment outcome and trends of rheumatic inpatients in past 12 years, and to improve awareness of juvenile rheumatic diseases.Methods:The clinical data of 5 950 patients in rheumatology department of the affiliated pediatric hospital of Fudan University (from 2005 to 2016) were analyzed retrospectively, and the chi-square test was used to compare and analyze the incidence.Results:Disease changes: ① The top three rheumatic diseases were Kawasaki disease (KD) (44.3%), Henoch-schoniein purpura (HSP) (35.4%), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)(9.6%). ② The number of all constitution of juvenile rheumatic diseases in hospital increased other than HSP. ③ The rheumatic diseases were increased from 17 to 37 kinds in the past 6 years. ④ The number of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increased year by year (112/2 348 vs 197/3 602, χ2=1.41, P=0.235), as well as the severe SLE (35/112 vs 55/197, χ2=0.38, P=0.536). ⑤ The rate of rheumatic diseases complicated with macrophage activation (MAS) was 7.2‰(43/5 950). 12.9%(26/201) of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis(sJIA) were complicated with MAS, which was accounted for 60.5%(26/43) of total number of MAS in rheumatic diseases. In the last 6 years, there was a significant increase in the number of patients with MAS in patients with rheumatic diseases ( χ2=14.1, P<0.01) and sJIA( χ2=11.2, P<0.01). ⑥ 1.1%(64/5 950) of rheumatic diseases patients had lung lesions, juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) accounted for 24.4%(20/82). In the last 6 years, the number of patients with lung lesions associated with rheumatic diseases increased significantly ( χ2=5.66, P=0.017). ⑦ The mortality rate of juvenile rheumatic diseases was only 3.7‰(22/5 950), and 45.5% occurred in SLE (10/22). The mortality rate of SLE decreased in last 6 years (5/112 vs 5/197, χ2=0.34, P=0.558). Conclusion:The constitution of juvenile rheumatic diseases in our center is decreasing for systemic vasculitis (KD, HSP), JIA, SLE, JDM in last 6 years. The annual total number of patients is relatively stable. But rare, difficult and critically illed cases increase year by year. Although SLE is still the primary cause of death in juvenile rheumatic diseases in recent 6 years, the mortality rate has decreased year by year.
