ObjectiveTo study the efficacy of community rehabilitation combined with drug therapy on rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia in rural communities, and to provide references for community rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia in rural areas of our country. MethodA total of 81 patients in rural communities of three towns in Lanzhou new area who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) were randomly divided into study group (n=39) and control group (n=42). Both groups received general drug treatment. On this basis, the study group received community rehabilitation intervention for 6 months. Before and after intervention, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL), Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS) were used to assess the psychotic symptoms, social function and quality of life in two groups. ResultsAfter intervention, the PANSS total score [(55.54±14.75) vs. (63.52±13.95), t=-2.504, P=0.014], negative symptom factor score [(15.64±4.50) vs. (18.38±5.13), t=-2.547, P=0.013] and general psychopathological factor score [(25.67±7.39) vs. (30.35±6.60), t=-3.015, P=0.003] of the study group were lower than those of the control group. The SDSS score [(8.21±3.78) vs. (10.21±4.67), t=-2.118, P=0.037] and SQLS score [(18.97±6.23) vs. (22.43±8.04), t=2.150, P=0.035] of the study group were lower than those of the control group. ConclusionCommunity rehabilitation combined with drug therapy may help alleviate psychotic symptoms, improve social function and improve quality of life in patients with schizophrenia in rural communities.
4.Physical activity and influencing factors of preschool children in Nanchang
Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(2):197-200
Objective:
To understand the present situation of physical activity and its influencing factors, and to provide a reference for improving the level of physical activity and making the intervention measures.
Methods:
The method of random stratification was used to select 4 740 pre school children aged 3-6 from 17 kindergartens in 12 counties and districts of Nanchang City, The questionnaire of physical activities of young children and the questionnaire of parents of physical activities of young children were applied to conduct a survey.
Results:
Compared with weekday PA and MVPA, preschool children’s weekends decreased, SB increased. The differences in PA, MVPA and SB on weekdays and weekends were statistically significant( P <0.01). The proportion of PA and MVPA reaching the recommended amount during the working day of preschool children were 44.9%-59.2%, 45.4%- 61.7%.The proportion reaching the recommended amount of PA and MVPA on weekends were 24.7%-27.8%, 24.5%-29.9%, and the proportion reaching the recommended amount on weekdays was higher than that on weekends.
Conclusion
There is still gap between actual amount of physical activity and the recommended amount. There are different modes of activity on weekdays and weekends, and weekends are the least active periods. Parents and teachers should pay enough attention to the establishment of "social campus family" model to improve the lack of physical activity of preschool children.

Objective:
To investigate the role of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2)⁃Smad1/5 and p38MAPK
signaling pathways in the osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs by insulin⁃like growth factor 1 (IGF1).
Methods :
A re⁃
combinant adenovirus (RAD) and IGF1 expressing IGF1 gene were constructed. After osteogenic induction, qRT⁃PCR
and Western blot were used to detect the phosphorylation level of Smad1/5 and the expression of the BMP⁃2 protein in
the BMP⁃Smad signaling pathway; immunohistochemistry was used to observe the nuclear translocation of Smad1/5; qRT⁃PCR and Western blot were used to detect IGF with Noggin and SB203580, inhibitors of the p38MAPK signaling path⁃
way 1⁃mediated osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs
Results:
The recombinant IGF1 adenovirus was constructed suc⁃
cessfully. MSMSCs were cultured in inductive medium after infection with different concentrations of Ad⁃IGF1, and
then, the protein levels of BMP2 and p⁃Smad1/5 increased. IGF1 can also induce nuclear translocation of Smad1/5. In
addition, Noggin significantly reduced the phosphorylation level of Smad1/5 and the formation of mineralized nodules in
the MSMSCs. The mRNA levels of Runx2, OPN and ALP also decreased. In contrast, SB203580 decreased neither the
phosphorylation level of p38 nor the mRNA expression of Runx2, OPN and ALP in the Ad⁃IGF1 MSMSCs
Conclu⁃sion
IGF1 can promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs via the BMP2⁃Smad1/5 signaling pathway. In con⁃
trast, IGF1 may not promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs via the p38MAPK signaling pathway.

The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines—with a focus on China—will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

Objective To summarize and analyze the clinical features and diagnosis and treatment methods of patients with restless leg syndrome (RLS) mainly characterized by abdominal symptoms, and provide the basis for improving the correct diagnosis and treatment rate of RLS. MethodsThree patients, admitted to and completed routine laboratory examination (blood analysis, blood biochemistry, serum iron, serum ferritin, etc.), imaging, electroencephalogram, and electromyography in our hospital from August 2018 to April 2019, were chosen in our study. Polysomnography monitor was used to record the patient's sleep process for 12 h. Sleep and psychological status were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), RLS Self-rating Depression Scale (IRLS), Epworth Sleeping Scale (ESS), RLS-quality of life (RLS-QoL), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD).Results General examination, physical examination of nervous system, imaging, electroencephalogram, electromyography and routine biochemical examination showed no obvious abnormalities in the three patients. Serum iron decreased in two patients. Polysomnography results indicated that the sleep efficiency of the three patients was obviously decreased, the sleep latency was prolonged, the time of awakening during sleep and the times of awakenings were increased; and the sleep structure was disordered; rapid eye movement sleep was significantly reduced. Meanwhile, all three patients had moderate and severe PLM events. Excessive sleepiness in the daytime was noted; the quality of life was affected about one month, and the severity was severe; all three patients had severe anxiety without evident depression. The condition of three patients with pramipexole hydrochloric acid after treatment were significantly improved.Conclusion s RLS subtype with abdominal symptoms as chief complaint is relatively rare in clinical practice. If patients have abdominal pain and discomfort during sleep at night and can exclude organic diseases of the digestive system, the possibility of RLS should be considered. A good therapeutic effect can be obtained by using dopa receptor agonist such as pramipexole.
