In the theory of "opening-closing-pivoting"， the opening and closing pivot of a portal is used as a metaphor for the operating state of human qi and blood. Opening， closing and pivoting are well functioned together to maintain stable blood pressure， otherwise the imbalance of qi， blood， yin and yang in the body occurs when any of them is abnormal， thereby causing hypertension. During treatment， it is necessary to identify the impaired state of the three functions. If the "opening" is abnormal， it should be treated to restore qi’s function of external defense and distribution. If the "closing" is abnormal， it is necessary to regulate the deficiency and excess state of yang qi and restore the storage function. For "pivoting" disorder， it should be the key to regulate the circulation of qi and blood. Combined with clinical symptoms， the main treatment methods such as "sweat promotion"， "warming"， "clearing"， "purgation"， "supplementation" and "harmonization" are used to restore the function of the "opening-closing-pivoting"， making the blood and vessels of the body unblocked， and qi ascending and descending balanced， in order to achieve the effect of "moving pivot to facilitate opening and closing" and "opening and closing to transport pivot".

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizumab in the treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma(cHL)and explore the influencing factors.Methods The medical records of cHL patients treated with camrelizumab from January 1st,2017 to December 31st,2020,were collected.The clinical characteristics of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizumab were analyzed,and the influencing factors of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)were discussed.Results A total of 47 patients were included,12 patients(25.53%)experiencing thyroid dysfunction after receiv-ing camrelizumab.Among them,3 patients had hypothyroidism,7 had subclinical hypothyroidism,and 2 had subclinical hyperthy-roidism.The severity of ADRs was between grade 1 and 2(mild to moderate).None of the patients with thyroid dysfunction dis-continued camrelizumab.Thyroid dysfunction occurred between 1 and 22 months after camrelizumab treatment,with a median time of 6 months.2 patients with hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine,the thyroid function returned to normal in 1 patient and was improved in the other.1 patient with subclinical hypothyroidism was treated with levothyroxine with the thyroid function continued to be abnormal.The rest of the 9 patients with thyroid dysfunction received no intervention,and 4 of them returned to normal,and others remained with no obvious change or loss in follow-up.Thyroid dysfunction was associated with baseline thyroid stimulating hormone level(P=0.03).The level of thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies was increased in 2 patients a-mong 3 patients with moderate thyroid dysfunction.Conclusion The incidence of thyroid dysfunction induced by camrelizum-ab in cHL was high.Camrelizumab-induced thyroid dysfunction was related to TSH baseline level(P=0.03).The severity was between grade 1 and 2,which was related to the level of TgAb and TPOAb.The subtype of thyroid dysfunction was mainly sub-clinical hypothyroidism with a long period.Patients could continue camrelizumab treatment,and the thyroid function of patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism was improved after the treatment with levothyroxine.

Objective:To study the influence of the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) on the visual function of patients with type 2 diabetes, to provide scientific basis for the early prevention and control of DR.Methods:This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, recruiting already-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in four community health service centers in Guizhou Province between February and September 2022. Employing the Chinese version of the Visual Function Index-14 (VF-14), assess the participants′ near vision, visual adaptation, subjective visual perception, and stereo vision, with higher scores indicating poorer visual function. Categorize the severity of each eye′s damage into no diabetic retinopathy (DR), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), moderate NPDR, severe NPDR, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and use a 5-level DR grading system to evaluate the overall severity of diabetic retinopathy in both eyes. Employing linear regression analysis to investigate the linear relationship between DR and visual function index. Local weighted regression evaluates the nonlinear relationship between the DR composite score and the scores of visual function, with a steeper slope indicating poorer visual function for that level.Results:A total of 542 patients with type 2 diabetes were investigated, including 244 (45.02%) males, 298 (54.98%) females, and 162 (29.89%) patients with DR. After adjusting for confounders, compared with those without DR, patients with binocular DR Had overall scores ( β=0.136, P=0.003), near vision ( β=0.163, P<0.001), visual adaptation ( β=0.092, P=0.042), subjective vision ( β=0.120, P=0.009) and stereo vision ( β=0.094, P=0.044) were higher than those without DR. There were no differences in visual functions between DR And monocular DR. The local weighted regression curve showed that near vision (slope: 23.78) and overall score (slope: 58.37) increased sharply from mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes. Visual adaptation (slope: 5.37, 7.72), subjective vision (slope: 6.53, 7.93), stereovision (slope: 0.74, 0.91) increased slowly in mild to moderate NPDR in both eyes and in moderate to severe NPDR/PDR in both eyes. Conclusion:Binocular DR is associated with impaired visual function, but there is no difference between monocular DR And non-DR visual function. The early damage of DR To visual function is mainly manifested in near vision. In the prevention and control of DR, more attention should be paid to visual function, especially the change of near vision, and retinal damage should not be assessed solely by visual status.

Patients were followed up for 6-28 months (median follow-up time was 19 months), no recurrent stricture occurred.Conculsion:Percutaneous management of benign extrahepatic biliary strictures with bile duct dilatation and placement of large-bore catheter is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment method.

Whether direct manipulation of Parkinson's disease (PD) risk genes in the adult monkey brain can elicit a Parkinsonian phenotype remains an unsolved issue. Here, we used an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-delivered CRISPR/Cas9 system to directly co-edit PINK1 and DJ-1 genes in the substantia nigras (SNs) of two monkey groups: an old group and a middle-aged group. After the operation, the old group exhibited all the classic PD symptoms, including bradykinesia, tremor, and postural instability, accompanied by key pathological hallmarks of PD, such as severe nigral dopaminergic neuron loss (>64%) and evident α-synuclein pathology in the gene-edited SN. In contrast, the phenotype of their middle-aged counterparts, which also showed clear PD symptoms and pathological hallmarks, were less severe. In addition to the higher final total PD scores and more severe pathological changes, the old group were also more susceptible to gene editing by showing a faster process of PD progression. These results suggested that both genetic and aging factors played important roles in the development of PD in the monkeys. Taken together, this system can effectively develop a large number of genetically-edited PD monkeys in a short time (6-10 months), and thus provides a practical transgenic monkey model for future PD studies.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between schizotypal personality traits and creativity in college students and the mediating role of cognitive flexibility. MethodsSchizotypal Personality Questionnaire （SPQ）， Cognitive Flexibility Inventory （CFI） and Williams Creative Aptitude Test （WCAT） were used to assess 471 college students. Thereafter， Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship among the variables and the Bootstrap methodology was used to estimate the mediating role of cognitive flexibility. ResultsThe total SPQ， positive and disorganized schizotypal traits scores， and CFI score were all positively correlated with WCAT score （r=0.241~0.313， P<0.01）. The total SPQ， positive and disorganized schizotypal traits scores were also positively correlated with CFI score （r=0.111~0.128， P<0.05）. Cognitive flexibility mediated the relationship between positive schizotypal traits and creativity ［indirect effect=0.052 （95% CI： 0.016~0.112， P<0.01）， accounting for 11.93% of the total effect］. Cognitive flexibility mediated the relationship between disorganized schizotypal traits and creativity ［indirect effect=0.075 （95% CI： 0.020~0.161， P<0.01）， accounting for 11.50% of the total effect］. ConclusionSchizotypal personality has a direct impact on the creativity of medical students and also cause an indirect impact on their creativity through the mediating role of cognitive flexibility.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the application of three-in-one intelligent screening in outpatient pre-inspection in children's hospital. METHODS: We randomly enrolled 100 children pre-screened by traditional method in the outpatient department of Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University from February 6th to 16th, 2020, and another 100 children by the intelligent three-in-one mode from February 17th to 27th, 2020. The traditional triage was conducted by nurses based on face-to-face, one-by-one interview of the epidemiological history and consultation department, and the temperature was measured before manual triage. The intelligent three-in-one model combined online rapid pre-inspection and triage, on-site manual confirmation, as well as synchronized online health education system. For on-line registered patients, the system automatically sent the COVID-19 epidemiological pre-screening triage questionnaire one hour before the appointment, requiring parents to complete and submit online before arriving at the hospital. The on-site registered patients were controlled at 100 m away from the hospital entrance. The nurses guided the parents to scan the QR code and fill in the COVID-19 epidemiological pre-examination triage questionnaire. At the entrance of the hospital, the nurse checked the guidance sheet and took the temperature again. The children with red guidance sheet were checked again and confirmed by pre-examination nurses, and accompanied to the isolation clinic through COVID-19 patients-only entrance. The children with yellow guidance sheet were guided to fever clinic. The children with green guidance sheet could go with their parents to the designated area, and then went to the corresponding consultation area. Health education was carried out throughout the treatment, and the system automatically posted the corresponding outpatient instructions and education courses. Parents would read the courses on their mobile phones and counsel online. The time of pre-examination and the coincidence rate of triage were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The three-in-one intelligent pre-inspection mode took an average of (25.6±8.0) s for each child, which was significantly shorter than the traditional pre-inspection mode (74.8±36.4) s ( CONCLUSIONS The three-in-one intelligent pre-inspection model can effectively shorten the patient pre-check time, with similar triage coincidence rate to traditional model.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) combined with brachial artery peak velocity variation (ΔVp) in predicting fluid responsiveness.Methods:Sixty-four patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index 19-26 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰor Ⅱ, with New York Heart Association class Ⅰor Ⅱ, scheduled for elective open gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study.LRM (positive airway pressure was maintained at 30 cmH 2O for 10 s) and volume loading test were performed in sequence after anesthesia induction.ΔVp was measured by ultrasonography at the beginning of LRM.Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP) and stroke volume (SV) were recorded before LRM (T 1), during LRM (T 2), before volume expansion (T 3) and after volume expansion (T 4). The changing rate of each index before and after LRM (ΔMAP LRM, ΔHR LRM, ΔCVP LRM, ΔSV LRM) and before and after volume expansion (ΔMAP VE, ΔHR VE, ΔCVP VE, ΔSV VE) were calculated.ΔSV VE≥15% was considered to be a positive response after volume expansion, and patients were divided into response group (≥ 15%, R group) and non-response group (< 15%, NR group). Results:There were 34 cases in R group and 30 cases in NR group.Compared with NR group, MAP at T 2 and SV at T 1, 2 were significantly decreased, ΔMAP LRM, ΔMAP VE, ΔSV LRM and ΔSV VE were increased, and ΔVp was increased in group R ( P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between ΔVp and ΔSV VE ( r=0.829, P<0.05), a negative correlation between ΔSV LRM and ΔSV VE ( r=-0.876, P<0.05), and a negative correlation between ΔVp and ΔSV LRM ( r=-0.819, P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of LRM combined with ΔVp was 0.808, and the cut-off value was 32.3%, the sensitivity 75.3%, and the specificity 88.2%. Conclusion:LRM combined with ΔVp (≥32.3%) can accurately predict the intraoperative fluid responsiveness in patients.
