Objective:To explore the association between levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) on admission and prognosis of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:The data were collected from patients who were admitted to the ICU of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the United States from 2001 to 2012 with available TSH test records within 24 hours after the ICU admission via the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅲv1.4 (MIMIC-Ⅲv1.4). Information including gender, age, ethnicity, type of admission, mechanical ventilation (MV) or renal replacement therapy (RRT) received on admission, comorbidities, and TSH test records within 24 hours after the ICU admission were collected. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPS Ⅱ) and the comorbidities index Elixhauser (SID30) score were calculated according to the parameters. The primary outcome was hospital mortality. Differences in baseline characteristics and prognosis were examined between patients with normal TSH levels and abnormal TSH levels which was determined according to a dichotomous variable provided by the data. Multivariable Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between TSH levels and prognosis after adjusting for confounding factors. A sensitivity analysis was conducted which categorized the study population as three groups (i.e., decreased, normal, and elevated TSH levels) using the range of 0.30-3.00 mU/L as the normal range of TSH.Results:A total of 3 425 ICU patients were enrolled in the study, of which 2 692 (78.60%) were with normal TSH and 733 (21.40%) were with abnormal TSH. There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, ethnicity, type of admission and the ratio of MV between the normal TSH and abnormal TSH groups. Compared with normal TSH group, the patients in abnormal TSH had a higher SOFA, SAPS Ⅱ and SID30 scores as well as the ratio of RRT [SOFA score: 4 (2, 7) vs. 4 (2, 6), SAPS Ⅱ score: 38.02±13.76 vs. 36.53±13.75, SID30 score: 11 (4, 22) vs. 11 (0, 20), RRT ratio: 5.32% (39/733) vs. 3.49% (94/2 692), all P < 0.05]. The hospital mortality of patients in normal TSH was significantly higher than that of those in abnormal TSH [9.82% (72/733) vs. 5.94% (160/2 692), P < 0.01]. After adjusting for confounding factors, abnormal TSH was significantly associated with hospital mortality [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.71, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.24-2.35, P = 0.001]. In the sensitivity analysis in which the range of 0.30-3.00 mU/L was used as the normal range of TSH, compared with normal TSH, decreased TSH ( OR = 2.36, 95% CI was 1.40-3.97, P = 0.001) and elevated TSH ( OR = 1.44, 95% CI was 1.05-1.98, P = 0.023) were both significantly associated with increased hospital mortality. Conclusion:An abnormal level of TSH within 24 hours after admitted to ICU is an independent risk factor for hospital mortality among ICU patients.

To explore the technical process and the therapeutic effect of using sequential surgical guide with independent intellectual property rights assisting immediate implantation and restoration of the full arch, with the support from the periodontal splint for mobile supporting teeth, patients with severe periodontitis who planned to undergo immediate full arch implantation were recruited from August 2019 to December 2020 at the Department of Prosthodontics, Department of Periodontology, Department of Implantology and First Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. Through the procedure of collecting preoperative maxillofacial data, making systematic diagnostic design, making periodontal splints fixation, producing surgical guide, and carrying out guided surgery for full arch immediate implantation, eight cases were included. By registering the postoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) with the preoperative data, the difference between the actual three-dimensional position of the implants and the virtual design was observed, and the accuracy of the implant placement position guided by the sequential guide was statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Analysis indicators include coronal and apical global displacement, coronal horizontal and vertical displacement, apical horizontal and vertical displacement, and angular deviation. Results revealed that the 8 patients [2 males and 6 females, aged (49.0±9.3) years (38-65 years)] of recruited cases included 7 cases of maxilla and 1 cases of mandible. A total of 48 implants, of which 44 implants were placed upright and 4 were placed tilted, 16 implants in the anterior region and 32 implants in the posterior region. No guide plate fracture or damage to important anatomical structures were reported. The overall displacement at the coronal point [(0.83±0.48) mm] and the global displacement at the apical point [(1.36±0.57) mm] were within the clinically acceptable safety range, and the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the coronal point, horizontal displacement and vertical displacement at the apical point, and the angle deviation of implants axial have no statistic significant difference in the anterior and posterior region ( P>0.05). Periodontal splints combined with sequential surgical guides to assist patients with severe periodontitis for immediate full arch implantation and immediate restoration can expand the indications of guide assisted implant surgery. It meets the safety requirements in clinical applications.

Objective:To investigate changes in long-term cognitive function of patients with prostate cancer treated by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and analyze its related factors.Methods:Using a prospective cohort study method, a total of 131 patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from April 2016 to April 2018 were selected as the research objects. The patients who received ADT were set as the ADT group and the patients who did not use ADT were set as the non-ADT group. General Situation Questionnaire, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Basic Scale (MoCA-B) , Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Chinese version of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) were used to investigate. Longitudinal comparisons of patients were made between the two groups on admission, 6 months later, 12 months later and 24 months later. Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to analyze factors associated with cognitive changes in prostate cancer patients receiving ADT.Results:At the end of the 24-month follow-up, a total of 123 patients had completed the investigation, including 55 in the ADT group and 68 in the non-ADT group. The FACT-Cog scores of patients in the ADT group were respectively (110.3±10.2) , (107.6±10.2) , (106.1±9.9) and (103.1±9.5) at the time of enrollment, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months. The FACT-Cog scores of patients in the non-ADT group were respectively (111.1±10.0) , (108.7±10.3) , (107.0±9.4) and (106.4±9.5) at the time of enrollment, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months. Multivariate analysis showed that treatment, age and PHQ-9 score were the influencing factors of cognitive decline in prostate cancer patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The cognitive function of prostate cancer patients who have received ADT for a long time has declined over time. ADT, aging and depression are the main independent risk factors for cognitive decline, suggesting that nursing workers should pay attention to changes of cognitive function of patients at early stage and provide nursing intervention for risk factors to improve the cognitive status of patients.

Objective:To explore the possible role of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1), tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅰ (TNFR-Ⅰ), tumor necrosis factor-α receptor Ⅱ (TNFR-Ⅱ) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris.Methods:15 cases of normal skin and 20 cases of psoriasis vulgaris in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's hospital were enrolled. Immunohistochemical staining techniques were used to detect the expression of ERAP1, TNFR-Ⅰ, TNFR-Ⅱ protein in the two groups. Statistical analysis was then performed to compare the difference in expression between the two groups.Results:⑴ In normal skin , ERAP1 is mainly expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis. In the psoriatic vulgaris lesions, ERAP1 was diffusely positive. The expression of ERAP1 in the psoriatic lesions was stronger than that of normal tissues, with stastically significant difference ( Z=-4.170, P<0.05). ⑵ TNFR-Ⅰ is diffusedly expressed in the normal skin tissues. However, in the epidermis of psoriatic lesions, the expression of TNFR-Ⅰ in the spinous layer was stronger than that of the basal layer (χ 2=17.740, P<0.05). ⑶ In the normal skin, TNFR-Ⅱ was not expressed; in the psoriatic lesions, TNFR-Ⅱ was diffusely expressed in the basal cell layer and acanthosis of the epidermis in varying degrees, and the difference between normal and psoriatic skin was statistically significant (χ 2=17.500, P<0.001). ⑷ The expression of ERAP1 in the epidermis of psoriasis vulgaris was negatively correlated with TNFR-Ⅰ ( rs=-0.662, P=0.001). There was no significant correlation between ERAP1 and TNFR-Ⅱ ( rs=0.343, P=0.139). Conclusions:ERAP1, TNFR-Ⅰ, and TNFR-Ⅱ may play important roles in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris. They may interact with each other to regulate the proliferation and apoptosis of keratinocyte in order to maintain the abnormal proliferation and benign proliferation of psoriasis vulgaris epidermis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of two-step irradiance schedule on pain control during and clinical efficacy of aminolevulinic acid (ALA) -based photodynamic therapy (PDT) for moderate to severe acne.Methods:Sixty patients with moderate to severe acne were enrolled from the Department of Dermatology, the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture from January 2018 to March 2019, and equally divided into 2 groups according to the order of treatment: control group receiving conventional irradiation at a light output intensity of 65 mW/cm 2 for 20 minutes, and observation group irradiated at an initial light output intensity of 40 mW/cm 2 for 8 minutes until the irradiation energy reached 20 J/cm 2, followed by irradiation at a light output intensity of 65 mW/cm 2 for 15 minutes until the total irradiation energy reached 78 J/cm 2. During the treatment, the irradiation intensity was appropriately adjusted according to the patients′ response, and all the patients were treated once every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive sessions. The time to onset of pain and pain scores at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and50 minutes after the start of irradiation were recorded and compared between the two groups; clinical efficacy was evaluated 1 month after the end of the treatment; other adverse reactions were recorded during the treatment and 3-month follow-up after the end of treatment. Results:The time to onset of pain was significantly different between the observation group (10.40 ± 1.13 minutes) and the control group (3.95 ± 0.77 minutes; t = 25.919, P < 0.05). During the treatment, the pain score significantly changed over time ( F = 323.631, P < 0.01), and significantly differed between the observation group and control group ( F = 89.338, P <0.01). Additionally, there was a significant interaction between the treatment duration and treatment methods ( F = 24.059, P < 0.01). At 5, 10 and 15 minutes after the start of irradiation, the pain score was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( t = 21.714, 28.407, 28.286 respectively, all P < 0.05) ; at 20 minutes, there was no significant difference in the pain score between the two groups ( t = 1.505, P > 0.05) ; at 25 minutes (that is, 2 and 5 minutes after the end of irradiation in the observation group and control group respectively), 30 minutes, 50 minutes (that is, the end of the cold compress), there was also no significant difference in the pain score between the two groups ( t = 0.606, 1.038, 0.344 respectively, all P > 0.05) ; at the end of irradiation (that is, 23 and 20 minutes after the start of irradiation in the observation group and control group respectively), there was still no significant difference in the pain score between the two groups ( t = 1.968, P = 0.149). One month after the 3 sessions of treatment, there was no significant difference in the response rate between the observation group (90%, 27/30) and control group (83.3%, 25/30; χ2 = 0.577, P = 0.706). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the incidence of blisters, erythema, edema, skin dryness, desquamation, pruritus, reactive acne or pigmentation between the two groups (all P > 0.05) . Conclusion:The two-step irradiance schedule can effectively control related pain during the treatment of moderate to severe acne with ALA-PDT, especially in the initial stage of treatment, making patients successfully complete 3 sessions of ALA-PDT treatment and ensuring the clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and its related risk factors in patients with prodromal Parkinson's disease (pPD).Methods:Forty-seven pPD patients from Nanjing community and 37 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited in the present study. The pPD patients were divided into pPD-MCI group and normal cognition (pPD-NC) group according to Beijing version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (BJ-MoCA). The general clinical data, Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) scores, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores, number of patients with rapid eye movement-sleep behavior disorder (RBD), overall cognitive function and cognitive domain impairment of members from pPD group and HCs, pPD-MCI group and pPD-NC group were respectively compared. Risk factors for pPD-MCI were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:The prevalence of pPD-MCI in the 47 pPD patients was 57.45% (27/47). As compared with the HCs, pPD patients had significantly higher HAMD scores and HAMA scores, statistically larger number of patients with RBD, while significantly lower overall Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores and statistically lower scores in cognition domains of visuospatial and executive function, attention, abstraction, delayed memory and orientation ( P<0.05). Patients in pPD-MCI group had significantly higher HAMA scores, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Motor Examination scores, statistically lower education level, significantly lower MoCA scores, and statistically lower scores in cognition domains of visuospatial and executive function, abstraction, and delayed memory as compared with patients in pPD-NC group ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that low education level was an independent risk factor for pPD-MCI ( OR=0.800, 95%CI: 0.650-0.985, P=0.035). Conclusions:The prevalence of MCI in pPD patients is high, and multiple cognitive domains can be impaired in early stage. Patients with pPD-MCI are more vulnerable to depression and mild motor symptoms, so attention should be paid to emotional intervention and sport life guidance for patients at early stage. Education level is crucial for pPD-MCI, and cognitive training may contribute to slow down the process of MCI.
