Objectives:the purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the clinical value of cytokines in autoimmune diseases (AID). It was a kind of complex disease, and its pathogenesis involved cytokines, autoantibodies, immune cells and other immune factors. Especially some AID, such as Adult still′s disease (AOSD) and Takayasu arteritis(TA), had no specific biomarkers at present. This study was a retrospective case-control study.Methods:the data of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8) and interleukin-10(IL-10) in 834 AID patients from January 2019 to August 2022 were collected, and the serum levels of those cytokines in 30 healthy controls (HC) were detected at the same time. And AOSD, TA, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Behcet′s syndrome (BS) were divided into active group and inactive group. In addition, we also made a subgroup analysis of two important organs involved in SLE (kidney and nervous system). GraphPad Prism 9 and R 4.2.2 software were used. Nonparametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test) were used to compare the differences among groups, and Dunn′s method was used to correct the false positive caused by multiple tests. Results:To compare the level of IL-6 in each group, except Behcet syndrome (BS) group and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) group, the serum IL-6 level of AID group was higher than that of HC group, with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies associated vasculitis(AAV) [3.85(2.00,8.55) pg/ml], idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIM) [7.80(2.50,6.50)pg/ml], IgG4-related disease(IgG4RD) [3.65(2.08,12.83) pg/ml], rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [5.50(2.20,16.10) pg/ml], SLE[4.70(2.75,16.55) pg/ml], Sj?gren syndrome(SS) [3.20(2.00,8.90) pg/ml], systemic sclerosis(SSc) [2.70(2.00,8.90) pg/ml], TA[3.40 (2.00,6.50) pg/ml], other AID diseases[4.40(2.00,11.10) pg/ml], especially AOSD [15.20(2.10, 39.20) pg/ml]. After correction, the differences were statistically significant ( P c<0.05). At the same time, the levels of serum TNF-α [7.40(5.60,10.95) pg/ml]and IL-10 [5.00(5.00, 7.58) pg/ml] in AOSD group were significantly higher than those in HC group[7.15(5.93,8.00) pg/ml,5.00(5.00,5.00) pg/ml] after correction ( P c<0.05). At the same time, the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-10 in AOSD group were higher than those in HC group. The serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in patients with active AOSD, BS, SLE and TA were significantly higher than those in patients without active disease (all P<0.05). In addition, the level of serum IL-8 in lupus nephritis group was significantly higher than that in non-lupus nephritis group ( P<0.05). At the same time, the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus group were significantly higher than those in non-neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in IL-10 between neuropsychiatric lupus group and non-neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus group. Conclusions:there was a close relationship between AID and cytokines. At present, the change of serum IL-6 level was the most classic one in clinical routine.

Objective:To understand the current situation of physicians′ innovative behavior and its influencing factors in Beijing municipal hospitals, for reference in improving their innovation ability and encouraging high-quality development of public hospitals.Methods:A stratified sampling was conducted with 22 practicing (assistant) physicians in Beijing municipal hospitals as subjects. From October to November 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted to understand the innovative behavior, innovative self-efficacy and innovative atmosphere of such practicing (assistant) physicians. SPSS 25.0 was used for descriptive analysis of the data, while t-test, variance analysis and linear regression were used for univariate analysis. Furthermore, multiple linear regression was adopted to explore the influencing factors of innovative behavior of such practicing(assistant) physicians. Results:A total of 2 178 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 1 906 valid ones were recovered, with effective recovery of 87.51%. Scores of innovative behavior, innovative self-efficacy and innovative atmosphere of 1 906 practicing (assistant) physicians scored (4.00±0.70) points, (3.85±0.74) points and (3.98±0.66) points respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed scores of statistical significance regarding the innovative behavior of practicing (assistant) physicians with different marital status, educational background, professional title, position, department type, innovative self-efficacy level and innovative atmosphere level. Multiple linear regression results showed that position, innovation self-efficacy score, innovation atmosphere score and subordinates′ incentive mechanism, as well as teamwork and resource security had statistical significance on innovation behavior score.Conclusions:The practicing (assistant) physicians in Beijing municipal hospitals are highly enthusiastic for innovation, but their innovative behavior is expected to be upgraded. In this regard, public hospitals should improve their innovation incentive mechanism, strengthen resource assurance, encourage cooperation and exchange, and create a desirable atmosphere for innovation. Furthermore, greater supply of continuing education resources is expected, supporting these physicians in their further study, advanced education, and promotion of professional titles.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of delayed cord clamping on outcomes of neonatal resuscitation.MethodsTotally, 7 429 full term infants born in the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Jilin from January 2013 to January 2015 were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group (n=3 727) and the control (n=3 702). The cords were clamped 2 min delayed in the former group, while those in the latter group were clamped within 10 s after birth. The rate of asphyxia and successful resuscitation, Apgar score at 1 and 5 min after birth, and pH value, base excess (BE), blood glucose, cardiac troponin (cTn) I at 1 h after birth were compared witht-test orChi-square test.ResultsThe incidence of neonatal asphyxia in the observation group was lower than in the control [0.75%(28/3 727) vs 1.21%(45/3 702),χ2=4.115,P<0.05], but no significant difference was found in the rate of mild or severe asphyxia between the two groups [0.62% (23/3 727) vs 0.89% (33/3702), 0.13% (5/3 727) vs 0.32% (12/3 702), allP>0.05]. In observation group, those newborns who suffered from severe asphyxia had higher Apgar score at 1 and 5 min than control (1 min: 2.80±0.45 vs 2.08±0.67,t=2.181; 5 min: 8.00±1.00 vs 6.25±1.66,t=2.176; bothP<0.05). Higher blood pH value and lower glucose level were shown in the observation group than in the control group [7.16±0.41 vs 7.13±0.72, (5.91±1.19) vs (6.60±1.56) mmol/L,t=2.068 and 2.046, bothP<0.05]. However, no difference was found in BE and cTnI levels between the two groups (bothP>0.05). For those babies with severe asphyxia, the blood pH, BE, blood glucose and cTnI levels in the observation group were significantly different from the control group [7.08±0.29 vs 7.02±0.56, (-16.82±0.60) vs (-17.43±0.35) mmol/L, (7.93±0.78) vs (8.02±0.53) mmol/L and (0.203±0.041) vs (0.249±0.035) ng/ml,t=2.270, 2.387,-2.371 and-2.341, allP<0.05].Conclusion Two minutes delayed in cord clamping could help to reduce the incidence of asphyxia and improve the effect of resuscitation in severe asphyxia.

Objective To detect the value of autoantibedy profile in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Methods 96 serum samples of patients with primiary biliary cirrhosis, 100 serum samples of other antoimmune disease and 49 serum samples of healthy were tested for anti- M2, anti-3E(BPO), anti-Sp100,anti-PML,anti-gp210,anti-LKM-1 ,anti-LC-1 ,anti-SLA/LP by EUROLine. Results The positive of the anti-M2,anti-BPO, anti-Sp100, anti-PML and anti-gp210 for PBC was 76. 0%, 84.4%, 32. 3%, 28. 1% and 35.4% ,respectively. The positive of the anti-M2, anti-BPO, anti-Sp100, anti-PML and anti-gp210 for other autoimmune disease was 13.0% ,9. 0% ,3.0% ,2.0% and 1. 0%, respectively. The sensitivity of the anti-M2 for PBC was 76. 0% ,with specificity of 87. 0%. The sensitivity of the anti-BPO for PBC was 84. 4%, with specificity of 91.0% ;the sensitivity of the anti-Sp100 for PBC was 32. 3%, with specificity of 97.0%. The sensitivity of the anti-PML for PBC was 28. 1% ,with specificity of 98.0%. The sensitivity of the anti-gp210 for PBC was 35.4%, with specificity of 99. 0% . Anti-LKM-1, anti-LC-1, anti-SLA/LP positive patients with PBC were not detected;the incidence rate of liver function failure in anti-gp210 positive serum higher than anti-gp210 negative serum (χ2 = 11.17, P < 0. 01). Conclusions Multiple autoantibedies can be detected in the sera of PBC patients. The detection of autoantibody profile is useful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PBC, and may he helpful for therapy and prognosis of PBC.
