Objective:To analyze the etiological features and clinical characteristics of herpes zoster cases under 20 years old in Beijing City from 2017 to 2021.Methods:Herpes zoster cases were collected from a surveillance system in Beijing City from December 2017 to April 2021. The cases included individuals under 20 years old from seven sentinel hospitals located in two districts (Miyun District and Changping District). The basic information, the rash date of rash onset and the location and number of lesions were investigated at the first visit to the hospital, and the lesion swab samples were collected for laboratory testing. A telephone follow-up was conducted 21 days after the onset of the rash to investigate the degree of pain, duration of the rash and duration of pain. The individuals who still experienced neuralgia were further investigated for their pain condition at 90 days after the onset of the rash, to discover cases with postherpetic neuralgia. DNA was extracted from the rash fluid, and the ORF62 gene region was amplified and sequenced to obtain the viral sequence. The wild-type strain or chickenpox vaccine strain was identified by using sequence alignment, and the clinical characteristics of cases with different varicella vaccinations were compared.Results:A total of 78 herpes zoster cases under 20 years old were investigated during 2017-2021 in Beijing City, and 61 cases completed the follow-up survey. The age range of 61 cases was 1.83 to 20.54 years with a median age of 17.50 years. There were 36 males (59.02%) and 25 females (40.98%). Among them, there were 29 cases with the chickenpox vaccine immunization history (18 cases with one dose, 5 cases with two doses and 6 cases with unknown doses), 13 cases with no vaccination history and 19 cases with unknown vaccination history. Among the 78 cases, the herpetic fluid samples of 64 cases were positive for VZV, including 62 cases identified as wild-type strains and two cases as vaccine strains. The two vaccine strain cases were both 2-year-old girls who had received one dose of varicella vaccine and developed herpes zoster 3 months and 13 months after vaccination. Among the 29 cases with chickenpox vaccine immunization history, the majority had 10 to 49 lesions, accounting for 58.62% (17 cases). The trunk was the most common site of lesions, accounting for 44.83% (13 cases). About 51.72% (15 cases) reported "no or mild" pain intensity. The median ( Q1, Q3) scores for the worst pain, duration of pain and the time to crusting of lesions in the herpes zoster cases were 3 (1.5, 5) points, 10 (1.5, 12.5) days and 10 (6.5, 13) days, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the constituent ratio of the location of lesions, number of lesions and pain degree among the cases with vaccination history, without vaccination history and with unknown vaccination history ( P>0.05). There was also no statistically significant difference in the distribution of pain score, duration of lesions and duration of pain across the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Wild strains are the predominant pathogens in herpes zoster cases under 20 years old in Beijing City during 2017-2021. The varicella vaccination has no significant impact on the clinical manifestations of herpes zoster cases.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of ultrasonography of the respiratory variability index of inferior vena cava internal diameter (IVC-RVI) in preoperative fluid responsiveness evaluation of hip fracture in geriatric patients.Methods A retrospective case-control study was used to analyze 39 cases of elderly hip fractures admitted to the Daping Hospital of Army Medical Center from August 2017 to February 2018,including 15 males and 24 females,aged 65-92 years [(80.9 ±7.9)years].The heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),cardiac output (CO),and cardiac stoke volume (SV)were recorded five minutes after the patient entered the operating room and within 5 minures after capacity load test.The inferior vena cave during expiration (IVCe) and inferior vena cave during inspiration (IVCi) were measured by ultrasound before and after volume load test and the difference in IVC-RVI was calculated.Volumetric positive group were the cases of SV change (△SV) ≥15％ (positive group,n =21),and volume negative group were the cases of △SV ＜ 15％ (negative group,n=18).The correlations between various ultrasonic parameters and SV were analyzed by comparing HR,MAP,CO,SV,SV,IVCe,IVCi and IVC-RVI before and after the capacity load test.The predictive value of IVC-RVI for preoperative volumetric reactivity in elderly patients with hip fractures was evaluated by using the receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curve and Pearson correlation analysis.Results Prior to the volumetric load test,no significant difference was observed between the two groups concerning HR,MAP,CO,SV,and IVCe (P ＞ 0.05),IVCi in the positive group was significantly smaller than that in the negative group (P ＜ 0.05),and IVC-RVI in the positive group was significantly larger than that in the negative group (P ＜ 0.05).After the volumetric load test,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in CO,IVCe,IVCi,and IVC-RVI (P ＞ 0.05),HR in the positive group was smaller than that in the negative group (P ＜ 0.05),and MAP and SV in the positive group were significantly larger than that in the negative group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with that before capacity load test,MAP,CO,and SV in the positive group increased after the capacity load test (P ＜ 0.05),while the HR difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).HR,MAP,CO,and SV showed no significant difference in the negative group before and after capacity test (P ＞ 0.05).IVC-RVI assessed the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.80 ± 0.08 for preoperative volumetric responsiveness in elderly hip fractures (P ＜ 0.05),with a critical point of 20.69％,sensitivity of 77.78％,and specificity of 76.19％.After Pearson correlation analysis,IVC-RVI was positively related to △SV (OR =0.367,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ultrasonography of the respiratory variability of IVC can predict the preoperative fluid responsiveness of hip fracture in geriatric patients and guide for clinical rehydration.

TCM believes that physical tendons and bone are interdependent, keeping dynamic balance, and they influence each other pathologically. Physical tendons and bone balance is human spine physiological state. Physical tendons and bone imbalance is the important pathogenesis of spine and related diseases. The core of physical tendons and bone balance-regulating theory is the physique homology and syndrome differentiation and treatment. This article expounded from the above aspects in details.

Objective:Recent studies have shown that in contrast to decrease in distal gastric adenocarcinoma (DGA), incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) has increased noticeably in numerous counties. However, the reasons remain unclear. This study evaluated the possible differences in the expression of KLF4, SP1, and Cyclin D1 in AEG and DGA, and explored the potential carcinogenesis of AEG. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded tissues to evaluate the pu-tative differences in the expressions of KLF4, SP1, and Cyclin D1 at protein level between AEG (n=58) and DGA (n=47). The patholog-ical significance of these markers between the two groups was also compared and analyzed. Results:The percentage of positive KLF4 expression was significantly lower in DGA than in AEG (P<0.05). Lower KLF4 expression was found both in well-or moderately dif-ferentiated cases and in poorly differentiated cases with DGA compared with their AEG counterparts (P<0.05). However, positive stain-ing for SP1 was significantly higher in DGA (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the expression of Cyclin D1 between the two groups. Further analysis showed that in DGA, the positive expression of KLF4, SP1, and Cyclin D1 were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis. In AEG, only Cyclin D1 expression was correlated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). No correlation was found among the expression of KLF4, SP1, and Cyclin D1 in AEG. In DGA, KLF4 was inversely correlated with SP1 and Cyclin D1 (r=-0.334 and r=-0.341, respectively, P<0.05), and SP1 was positively correlated with Cyclin D1 expression (r=0.340, P<0.05).Conclusion:Different expression patterns and clinicopathological significance of KLF4, SP1, and Cyclin D1 were observed between AEG and DGA, suggesting the putative difference in the carcinogenesis and progression of AEG and DGA.

From May 2012 to May 2013, 60 chronic male smokers received an intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg (Group D, n=30) or an equal volume of normal saline (Group C, n=30) before anesthesia induction.At time of dexmedetomidine or normal saline dosing , after induction of anesthesia, 1 and 3 min after intubation, the heart rates and rate-pressure products were significantly lower in Group D than Group C ( P<0.05 ).Thus the dosing of dexmedetomidine before anesthesia induction could suppress the cardiovascular responses of endotracheal intubation in chronic smokers and avoid increasing myocardial oxygen consumption so as to protect heart functions.
