Objective To understand the mortality and potential life loss due to coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in Wujiang District, Suzhou from 2011 to 2022, and to provide strategies and basis for the prevention and treatment of CHD and stroke. Methods We collected the data of death cases due to CHD and stroke from the death monitoring system in Suzhou from 2011 to 2022. The mortality of CHD and stroke, potential years of life lost (potential years of life lost , PYLL), average years of life lost (average years of life lost , AYLL) and potential years of life lost rate (potential years of life lost rate , PYLLR) were calculated to analyze the development trend of death and disease burden of CHD and stroke. Results From 2011 to 2022, the crude mortality of CHD was 31.91/10 million, and that of stroke was 118.93/10 million. CHD and stroke mortality rates both showed an upward trend（P＜0.05, a statistically significant trend）. From 2011 to 2022, the mortality rate of CHD and stroke in Wujiang District increased rapidly with the increase of age. From 2011 to 2022, the disease burden caused by CHD totaled 11005 person-years, with PYLLR of 1.26% and AYLL of 12.34 years per person. The PYLL caused by stroke was 13 587.5 people-years, the PYLLR was 1.55%, and the AYLL was 8.93 years per person. PYLL, PYLLR and AYLL all decreased in women（P<0.05）, with no significant change in men（P>0.05）. Conclusion From 2011 to 2022, the mortality rate of CHD and stroke in Wujiang District appeared a tendency towards a rise, effective intervention and prevention measures should be taken among elderly and male residents.

The aim of this study was to clone the chicken zp1 gene encoding zona pellucida 1 (Zp1) and investigate its tissues expression profile and its effect on osteoblast mineralization. The expression level of zp1 was quantified in various tissues of laying hens and in the tibia of the pre- and post-sexual maturity by RT-qPCR. Zp1 overexpressed vector was transfected into chicken calvarial osteoblasts which were induced differentiation for 8 days, and the extracellular mineral and the expression of mineralization-related genes were detected. The full-length chicken zp1 gene is 3 045 bp, encoding 958 amino acids residuals, and has two N-glycosylation sites. The highest expression level of the zp1 gene was found in the liver, followed by the tibia and yolk membrane, while no expression was detected in the heart and eggshell gland. Compared with the pre-sexual maturity hens, the concentration of estrogen (E2) in plasma, the content of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and the expression level of the zp1 gene in the tibia with post-sexual maturity were higher. The extracellular matrix and the level of osteoblast mineralization-related genes showed a significantly upregulated expression in chicken calvarial osteoblasts with Zp1 overexpressed and addition of estrogen. The expression of the zp1 gene is tissue-specific and positively regulated osteoblast mineralization under the action of estrogen, laying the foundation for elucidating the functional properties of Zp1 in chicken bones during the egg production period.

In recent years， the incidence of colorectal cancer has been rising in China， and with the promotion of early screening and early diagnosis， most colorectal cancers are able to achieve long-term survival through timely diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless， 30%-70% of patients with early to mid-stage colorectal cancer after radical surgery still have psychological problems such as anxiety， depression， and fear of recurrence and metastasis， and they hope to seek help from traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） treatment. In order to further standardize the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine psychological rehabilitation interventions of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ colorectal cancer after radical surgery， and to improve the diagnosis and treatment level， under the support of the pilot project of clinical collaboration between Chinese and western medicine for major and difficult diseases of National Administration of TCM， experts in oncology， integrated Chinese and western medicine， psychology， surgery， nursing， evidence-based medicine and other disciplines from 10 units nationwide participated in the work， led by Xiyuan Hospital，China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and Beijing Cancer Hospital. Based on the methodology and process of guideline development of the World Health Organization Handbook for Guideline Development and the Regulations for Group Standards of China Association of Chinese Medicine， the Guidelines for Psychological Rehabilitation Intervention Combined Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine After Radical Surgery for Early and Middle Stage Colorectal Cancer have been developed according to the current best evidence， extensive consultation with clinical experts and following the situation of current clinical practice. The guideline provides the psychological characteristics， the needs and willingness to accept psychological rehabilitation， the interventions for psychological rehabilitation， evaluation of efficacy， follow-up review， educational guidance and others of patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ colorectal cancer after radical surgery. It can provide guidance for TCM（integrated Chinese and western medicine） clinicians and psychologists engaged in the psychological rehabilitation of integrated Chinese and western medicine oncology， especially for doctors in primary medical institutions.

Severe trauma can result in severe respiratory and circulatory failure with a high mortality rate，which is quite difficult for clinical treatment. In recent years，the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation（ECMO）to circulatory and/or respiratory failure caused by severe trauma has received more and more attention. Systemic anticoagulation is often considered as a relative contraindication to ECMO therapy in patients with severe trauma who are at higher risk of bleeding. However，recent studies have shown that venovenous（VV）-ECMO is safe and feasible for treatment of severe acute respiratory failure after trauma，and venoarterial（VA）-ECMO is of great value for treatment of cardiogenic shock and traumatic cardiac arrest. The issues such as the timing of application，anticoagulation strategies，impact on survival and risk-benefit evaluation related to ECMO application to trauma care need to be investigated further. In this study，the authors summarize advances in application of ECMO，prevention and management of related complications in patients with severe trauma，so as to provide a reference for improving the application level of ECMO.

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic effects of two comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) methods in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:Ninety-seven patients with newly diagnosed AML at Beijing Hospital from August 2008 to December 2019 were included (≥60 years old). All patients were evaluated by two methods of CGA. One was IACA index proposed by Beijing Hospital, including instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), age, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), albumin; the other was proposed by Italian FIL study group (FIL-CGA), including activities of daily living (ADL), IADL, age, and modified cumulative illness rating score for geriatrics (MCIRS-G).Results:Among 97 patients, 54 patients received standard chemotherapy, 16 with decitabine, 2 with targeted therapy and 25 with the best supportive therapy. The overall response rate (ORR) in 72 treated patients were 67.7%, 33.3% and 0 respectively in fit, unfit and frail groups according to IACA index ( P=0.001). Based on FIL-CGA, the ORRs of fit, unfit and frail groups were 52.5%, 41.7% and 35.0% respectively ( P=0.418). The 1-year OS rates of fit, unfit and frail groups regarding IACA method were 78.7%, 27.7% and 0 respectively ( P<0.01). The 1-year OS rates of fit, unfit and frail groups regarding FIL-CGA method were 67.8%, 28.2% and 13.9% respectively ( P<0.01), while no significant difference was seen between unfit group and frail group ( P=0.111). The early death rates of fit, unfit and frail groups by IACA were 0, 6.0% and 28.6% respectively ( P=0.006), while those by FIL-CGA were 2.3%, 5.9%, 13.9% respectively ( P=0.123). Conclusion:Compared with FIL-CGA method, IACA predicts more effectively the treatment response, survival and early mortality in elderly patients with AML.

To explore the activity of the pmel core promoter of Bashang long-tail chickens, we constructed dual-luciferase expression vectors and transiently transfected into DF1 cells with Lipofectamine 2000. We measured the luciferase activity with the dual-luciferase detection kit. The 1 268 bp fragment in 5-flanking region of the pmel gene in Bashang long-tail chickens was cloned. The region from -1 200 bp to +68 bp included 2 CpG islands and multiple transcription factor binding sites. We constructed 9 expression vectors with different promoter regions and a mutant vector of the core promoter region of the pmel gene of Bashang long-tail chickens. The core promoter region from -840 bp to +68 bp was identified in the pmel gene. The region from -590 to -525 bp negatively regulated the pmel gene during the transcription process. The -840--590 bp and -525--266 bp regions were positive regulatory regions. The polymorphic sites (-456, -435, -410, -374 and -341) had a significant effect on the promoter activity of the pmel gene.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of extended nursing mode on the asthmatic children with allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods: Totally116 children aged 6-14 years old with asthma and AR were enrolled to this study from November 2015 to October 2016 in our hospital. They were divided into the regular nursing group and the extended nursing group according to the voluntary principle. The patients in regular nursing group were received routine nursing care in or out of hospital, while the patients in extended nursing group received extended care besides routine nursing. The children were required to record diary about asthma and AR And participate in asthma action projects. Before and after intervention we observed the quantitative score of symptoms and signs, the times of acute attack, the times of oblivion medication, the average days of stay in hospital, the days of fail to School or kindergarten, the lung function and the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in children with asthma and AR within 1 year. These above marks were assessed five times respectively at starting (baseline) , 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months (1 year) The differences between two groups were compared with appropriate statistical methods. Results: 1 year later, out of 58 cases in extended nursing group, 40 patients (68.97%)were in good control and 18 cases (31.03%) in partial control. Out of 58 cases in regular nursing group, 22 cases (37.93%) were in good control and 36 patients (62.07%) in partial control. There were significant differences between two groups in the effect of disease (χ²=11.23, all P<0.01), the experimental group was significantly better than the control group. The symptoms and signs of allergic rhinitis average scores in regular nursing group were 1.88 ± 0.72, extended nursing group were 0.79 ± 0.71, the difference was statistically significant (t=8.080, P<0.01) with the extended nursing group much better that the regular nursing group. The symptoms and signs of asthma average scores in regular nursing group were1.83 ± 0.75, extended nursing group were 0.88 ± 0.67, the difference was also statistically significant (t=7.133, P<0.01) with the extended nursing group much better that the regular nursing group. In extended nursing groups within 1 year the numbers of acute attack (0.60±0.59), the times of oblivion medication (11.05±7.40), the average days of stay in hospital (8.83±2.79) days,the average days of failing to school or kindergarten (8.69±5.46) days, while in regular nursing group within 1 year the numbers of acute attack(2.94±1.52), the times of oblivion medication (35.28±8.84), the average days of stay in hospital(20.95±5.46 days), the average days of fail to school or kindergarten(24.72±5.92) days, the differences were also statistically significant (t=10.50-15.87, P<0.01). The lung function in extended nursing group (PEF: 82.02±6.04, FEVI: 88.19±5.10, FEV25: 80.67±4.88, FEV50: 80.07±3.73, FEV75: 81.52±3.85) and in regular nursing group (PEF: 79.02±6.12,, FEV1: 80.52±4.72, FEV25: 75.05±7.79, FEV50: 77.59±4.60, FEV75: 78.41±4.19) . The differences were also statistically significant (t=2.90-6.15, P<0.01).The FeNO(13.66±2.87) ppb in extended nursing group and (14.95±3.12) ppb in regular nursing group. There were statistical significant differences between the two groups (t=2.30, P<0.05) with extended nursing group much better than regular nursing group. Conclusion The effect of extended care group is better than that of regular nursing group, and extended care is much more benefit to control asthma and allergic rhinitis in children.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus auricular point sticking in treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Method A total of 80 PCOS patients were randomly divided into a treatment group of 40 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus auricular point sticking, while the control group was intervened by acupuncture only. The clinical efficacy was observed in the two groups after 3 treatment courses. Result The menstrual condition and basal body temperature (BBT) were compared in the two groups before and after the treatment. The menstrual condition and BBT in the treatment group were significantly improved (P<0.01); the menstrual condition was improved (P<0.05) and the BBT condition was significantly improved in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 82.5% in the treatment group, significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture plus auricular point sticking can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating PCOS.

Objective To report the diagnosis and treatment of an imported case of schistosomiasis haematobium,including the pathological features of the disease and therapeutic efficacy of praziquantel. Methods The data of the patient with schistoso?miasis haematobium were collected,and the pathological features of the bladder tissue were observed under a microscope. More?over,the patient was treated with praziquantel,and his urine was collected before and after the treatment. The eggs in the urine were examined by a microscope after sediment and the miracidia were hatched. Results The patient once worked in Angola for three months,and after returning home he had the symptoms of intermittent painless terminal hematuresis. It was ineffective af?ter anti?inflammatory treatment in a number of hospitals. There were no sand spots discovered under the cystoscope. However , the inflammatory reaction to parasite with a lot of eosinophils infiltration in the bladder mucosa was found on the pathological sec?tions under a microscope,and the egg structure was observed with individual characteristics. The eggs were detected in the urine and the miracidia were hatched before the praziquantel treatment. The hematuria symptoms disappeared after the praziquantel treatment. The eggs were still detected in the urine 7 days post?treatment,but the miracidium could not be hatched. One month and 6 months post?treatment,the eggs were not detected in the urine. Conclusions The imported cases of schistosomiasis hae?matobium are often misdiagnosed,and therefore,it is necessary to strength the health education to the workers overseas and also to improve the ability of diagnosis in medical staff. For the case reported in this paper,there are typical structure of Schistosoma haematobium eggs and egg?granulomas on the pathological sections of bladder tissues. Praziquantel has satisfactory treatment re?sults.
