Objective:
To evaluate the performance of four simplified screening methods of elevated blood pressure commonly used among children and adolescents according to Chinese guidelines for prevention and treatment of hypertension (revised in 2018), so as to provide a reference for the early detection of the elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents.
Methods:
Stratified cluster random sampling method was used to monitor the physical fitness of 5 211 children and adolescents in a city of Shanxi Province from October to November 2021. Chinese guidelines for prevention and treatment of hypertension was considered as gold standard, and sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) and Kappa value were calculated to evaluate the screening effectiveness of formula method, height specific method, age group specific method, sex and age specific method for screening elevated blood pressure.
Results:
The detection rates of elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents screened by gold standard, formula method, height specific method,age group specific method, sex and age specific method were 21.9%, 24.0%, 21.1%, 24.5% and 20.2%, respectively. There was no significant difference between prevalence of elevated blood pressure screened by formula method, sex and age specific method and gold standard( χ 2=1.21, 1.41, P >0.05), whereas height specific method and age group specific method had significant differences with gold standard ( χ 2=20.39, 67.09, P <0.05). AUC was the largest for height specific method [0.94(95% CI =0.93-0.95)], and the smallest for age group specific method [0.87(95% CI = 0.86 -0.88)]. The Kappa values of height specific method (0.89) and sex and age specific method (0.89) were both greater than 0.85 , which were more consistent with the screening effectiveness of gold standard. When comparing by sex, age and body mass index (BMI), the screening effectivenesses were consistent with the overall in boys, 6-11 years and normal body weight groups, while the screening effectivenesses were different in girls, 12-17 years, overweight and obese groups. The AUC (0.87), Kappa value (0.71) and sensitivity (82.33%) of age group specific method were the lowest and the screening effectiveness was the worst.
Conclusion
Height specific method is more effective and can be used for early identification and self detection of blood pressure abnormalities among children and adolescents.

Objective:To analyze the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8 - 10 in Tongren City, Guizhou Province, and provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation for children.Methods:From 2020 to 2022, a systematic sampling method was adopted in 10 districts and counties of Tongren City. Each year, each district and county was divided into 5 districts based on east, west, south, north, and center. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 40 non boarding students aged 8 to 10 were selected from each township (street) to measure the iodine content of household salt and urine samples. The content of salt iodine in children of different yesas as well as the distribution of urine iodine in children of different districts and counties and different genders were analyzed and compared. Additionally, B-ultrasound was used to measure the thyroid volume of some children and the situation of thyroid enlargement was analyzed.Results:From 2020 to 2022, a total of 6 000 salt samples were collected and monitored from children's households, and 5 989 samples of iodized salt were detected, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.8%; and 5 750 samples of qualified iodized salt were found, the qualified rate of iodized salt was 96.0%, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 95.8%; and the median salt iodine was 27.3 mg/kg, the difference in the median salt iodine among children between different years was statistically significant ( H = 10.04, P < 0.001). A total of 6 000 urine samples from children were tested, the median urinary iodine was 225.2 μg/L, the median urinary iodine among children in different districts and counties were statistically significantly different ( H = 85.73, P < 0.001); 3 077 male and 2 923 female urine samples were tested, and the median urinary iodine between different genders was statistically significant different ( Z = - 67.10, P < 0.001). The median urinary iodine of male samples were higher than those of female samples(227.8 vs 222.9 μg/L). The thyroid gland of 2 000 children was examined, and the rate of goiter was 1.0% (21/2 000). Conclusions:From 2020 to 2022, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, urinary iodine content and goiter rate of children in Tongren City have all met the national standard for eliminating iodine deficiency disorders. The overall iodine nutrition level exceeds the appropriate amount (urinary iodine of 200 - 299 μg/L).

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of bundled cognitive-behavior intervention in postoperative patients with glioma.Methods:From January 2022 to June 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 95 patients with glioma who underwent surgical treatment at the Neurosurgery Department of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University as subjects. The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group based on the order of enrollment. The control group received routine medical nursing intervention, while the observation group received bundled cognitive-behavior intervention on the basis of control group. The scores of the Chinese-Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C-SUPPH), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were compared between two groups of patients at different time points before and after intervention.Results:Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there were intergroup, time, and interaction effects between the C-SUPPH, SF-36, SAS, and SDS scores of the two groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, the C-SUPPH and SF-36 scores in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after discharge, the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Bundled cognitive-behavior intervention can increase the self-management efficacy of postoperative glioma patients, improve their quality of life, and alleviate their anxiety and depression.

Objective:To explore the application value of 3D-slicer software in measuring renal volume parameters of renal transplant donors in evaluating renal function.Methods:The data of 31 renal donors admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2019 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were measured by SPECT radioactive dynamic imaging, and renal cortex volume (RCV), renal parenchymal volume (RPV) were measured after 3D reconstruction of urinary enhanced CT based on 3D slicer software. The estimated GFR(eGFR) predicted by creatinine-based GFR estimation equations (C-G equation, modified and simplified MDRD equation) and volume-based GFR estimation equations (Herts equation, Choi equation). Different eGFR were calculated, and the correlation between kidney volume parameters, eGFR equations and measured GFR was analyzed. The deviation, accuracy and consistency between different equations eGFR and measured GFR were analyzed and compared. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Measurement data with non-normal distribution were represented by M( Q1, Q3), and non-parametric test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The correlation between different eGFR and measured GFR is poor, and the deviation is small, and with good accuracy and consistency. Except for the weak correlation between the Choi equation eGFR and measured GFR ( r=0.382, P=0.034), there was no significant correlation between eGFR by other equations and measured GFR ( P>0.05). Among them, the deviation between the Herts equation-eGFR and measured GFR was the smallest (0.30 mL·min -1·1.73 m -2), with a 10% coincidence rate (61.29%) and a 30% coincidence rate (96.77%), and the best consistency with measured GFR, with a consistency limit of -28.75 to 29.34 mL·min -1·1.73 m -2. Conclusion:Compared with the laboratory index formula method, the Herts equation has better prediction efficiency in estimating GFR, The measurement of renal volume parameters by 3D slicer software has a certain clinical value in evaluating the renal function of renal donors, which is worthy of further application.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complication in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The Chinese Children's Cancer Group-ALL-2015 protocol was carried out in China, and epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and risk factors associated with VTE were analyzed. We collected data on VTE in a multi-institutional clinical study of 7640 patients with ALL diagnosed in 20 hospitals from January 2015 to December 2019. First, VTE occurred in 159 (2.08%) patients, including 90 (56.6%) during induction therapy and 108 (67.92%) in the upper extremities. T-ALL had a 1.74-fold increased risk of VTE (95% CI 1.08-2.8, P = 0.022). Septicemia, as an adverse event of ALL treatment, can significantly promote the occurrence of VTE (P < 0.001). Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) accounted for 75.47% (n = 120); and, symptomatic VTE, 58.49% (n = 93), which was more common in patients aged 12-18 years (P = 0.023), non-CRT patients (P < 0.001), or patients with cerebral thrombosis (P < 0.001). Of the patients with VTE treated with anticoagulation therapy (n = 147), 4.08% (n = 6) had bleeding. The VTE recurrence rate was 5.03% (n = 8). Patients with VTE treated by non-ultrasound-guided venous cannulation (P = 0.02), with residual thrombus (P = 0.006), or with short anticoagulation period (P = 0.026) had high recurrence rates. Thus, preventing repeated venous puncture and appropriately prolonged anticoagulation time can reduce the risk of VTE recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of DDIT3 immunohistochemical antibody in myxoid liposarcoma.Methods:A total of 53 patients diagnosed with myxoid liposarcoma and with DDIT3 gene rearrangement detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) from 2010 to 2022 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were enrolled as the case group, and 50 patients with other tumors that needed to be differentiated from myxoid liposarcoma during the same period were enrolled as the control group. The immunochemical (IHC) expression of DDIT3 was evaluated in all cases and the specificity and sensitivity in the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma were calculated. The correlation between IHC DDIT3 expression and FISH detection of DDIT3 gene rearrangement was analyzed.Results:Among the 53 cases of myxoid liposarcoma, thirty-one patients were males and twenty-two were females. The patients ranged in age from 11 to 74 years, with a median age of 51 and an average age of 49.4 years. The expression rate of IHC DDIT3 expression in 53 cases of myxoid liposarcoma was 100%. No expression was found or only scattered individual cell (<10%) expression was seen in a very few cases in the. control group. There was no significant correlation between the proportion and intensity of IHC and FISH DDIT3 positive cells or the partner gene.Conclusions:The sensitivity and specificity of DDIT3 immunohistochemical antibody in the diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma are both 100%, which are consistent with the results of FISH. It can be used as a convenient and economical diagnostic tool for myxoid liposarcoma.

Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional image reconstruction technology based on 3D-slicer software in urology.Methods:The data of 36 patients with urinary tract diseases admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 males and 16 females; the median age was 53.50(41.75, 66.25) years. There were 10 relative kidney transplant donors, 12 cases with renal tumors, 6 cases with hydronephrosis and 8 patients with urinary calculi. The CT urography data of 36 cases were reconstructed into three-dimensional image models based on 3D-slicer software, and the morphology of the target tissue was measured.Results:In the urinary system model of 10 relative kidney transplant donors constructed in this study, the type of donor renal artery was single artery in 7 cases and accessory renal artery in 3 cases; In the three-dimensional model of 12 tumor kidneys, 4 tumors were located at the upper part of the kidney (2 near ventral and 2 near dorsal), 5 tumors were located at the middle part of the kidney (2 near ventral and 3 near dorsal), and 3 tumors were located at the lower part of the kidney near ventral. The average maximum diameter of the tumors was (27.3 ± 9.63) mm, and the tumor volume was (15.89 ± 5.93) cm 2. The study also successfully constructed a three-dimensional image model of the urinary system in 6 patients with hydronephrosis and 8 patients with urinary calculi (without hydronephrosis). Three-dimensional model image reconstructed by 3D-slicer software clearly showed the spatial structure of renal parenchyma, blood vessels, renal pelvis, calyces and ureter. The diameter, position and direction of ureters and blood vessels can be observed clearly based on the three-dimensional reconstruction model, and clinicians could also evaluate the location, shape, size and adjacent relationship with surrounding tissues of renal cysts, tumors, stones or other masses. Conclusion:3D-slicer software platform can assist clinicians to reconstruct the three-dimensional model of urinary system, which is worthy of further clinical application.

Objective:To understand the current situation of anxiety and depression in patients with atrial fibrillation who are going to undergo radiofrequency ablation and their family members and analyze the influencing factors.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 197 patients with atrial fibrillation and their family members who were admitted to Arrhythmia Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University and planned to undergo radiofrequency ablation from October to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionaire-9 items (PHQ-9) were used to investigate them. Binomial logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of anxiety and depression in patients with atrial fibrillation who were going to undergo radiofrequency ablation and their family members.Results:The PHQ-9 score of 197 patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing radiofrequency ablation was (3.9±3.8) , the GAD-7 score was (2.7±3.1) , the detection rate of depressive symptom was 34.5% (68/197) and the detection rate of anxiety symptom was 20.3% (40/197) . The PHQ-9 score of family members of patients was (1.9±3.0) , the GAD-7 score was (1.8±2.9) , the detection rate of anxiety symptom was 15.2% (30/197) and the detection rate of depressive symptoms was 16.2% (32/197) . Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of attacks in the past 1 month was greater than or equal to 4 times and the duration of atrial fibrillation episodes in the past 1 month was greater than or equal to 6 hours as the influencing factors of depressive symptoms ( P<0.05) . The number of seizures more than or equal to 4 in the past month was the influencing factor of anxiety symptoms of patients ( P<0.05) . The anxiety state of patients was the influencing factor of anxiety symptoms of family members ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The current situation of anxiety and depression in patients with atrial fibrillation who are going to undergo radiofrequency ablation and their family members is not optimistic. The recent frequent attack of atrial fibrillation is the influencing factor of anxiety and depression symptoms of patients and the anxiety state of patients is the influencing factor of anxiety symptoms of family members. Medical staff should also pay attention to the anxiety and depression of patients with atrial fibrillation who are going to undergo radiofrequency ablation and their family members and give effective interventions as soon as possible.
