Objective:Analyze the impact of smoking on the mortality and life expectancy of residents in Tianjin in 2019.Methods:Use mortality case-control study method to collect all cause of death cases of residents in Tianjin in 2019 for analysis. After adjusting for the 5-years-old age group, education level, and marital status, the smoking attributed deaths from different diseases of different genders, smoking attributed deaths in different age groups, and their impact on life expectancy were analyzed.Results:The total number of deaths in 2019 was 75 254, with 42 201 males (56.1%). Among male deaths, 3 215 (9.9%) were attributed to smoking, of which 2 157 (50.2%) lung cancer deaths were attributed to smoking; The risk of lung cancer death among smokers was 3.075 times higher than that of non-smokers (95% CI: 2.812-3.364); Among the 33 053 female deaths (43.9%), 1 396 (5.8%) were caused by smoking, with 744 (29.1%) lung cancer deaths attributed to smoking. The age group with the highest number of deaths attributed to smoking for women was the 75-<80 years old age group, followed by the 70-<75 and 80-<85 years old age groups. The age group with the highest proportion of deaths attributed to smoking for men was the 55-<60 years old age group. In addition, smoking accounts for more than 60% of deaths in the 60-<65, 45-<50, 55-<60, and 65-<70 years old age groups. In 2019, the loss of life expectancy attributed to smoking deaths among all residents in Tianjin was 1.13 years, with a loss of 1.15 years for males and 0.57 years for females. The expected life expectancy excluding deaths caused by smoking was 82.92 years, 80.77 years for males and 84.61 years for females. Conclusions:Smoking remains one of the important risk factors for death among residents. Promoting effective measures to reduce smoking rates is an effective way to increase life expectancy.

Objective To evaluate the role of preoperative serological indexes in predicting long-term survival and tumor recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after liver transplantation, aiming to explore its significance in expanding the Milan criteria. Methods Clinical data of 669 recipients undergoing liver transplantation for HCC were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal cut-off value was calculated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The risk factors affecting the overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates of HCC patients after liver transplantation were identified by univariate and multivariate regression analyses. The correlation between preoperative serum liver enzymes and pathological characteristics in HCC patients was analyzed. The predictive values of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) combined with γ -glutamyl transferase (GGT) and different liver transplant criteria for the survival and recurrence of HCC patients after liver transplantation were compared. Results Exceeded Milan criteria, total tumor diameter (TTD) > 8 cm, AFP > 200 ng/mL and GGT > 84 U/L were the independent risk factors for the overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates of HCC patients after liver transplantation (all

In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hexue Mingmu tablets in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy(DR) and retinal vein obstruction(RVO), and to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of ophthalmic diseases, this paper obtained randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of Hexue Mingmu tablets in the treatment of DR and RVO by searching Chinese and English electronic databases and trial registration platforms(up to September 13, 2022). The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using RoB2.0, and Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4. A total of 35 RCTs involving a total sample size of 3 261 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with conventional western medical treatment alone, the combination of Hexue Mingmu tablets with conventional western medical treatment improved patients' macular thickness{mean difference(MD) =-39.83, 95% confidence interval(CI) [-51.60, -28.06], P<0.000 01}, improved corrected visual acuity{risk ratio(RR)dichotomous=1.09, 95% CI [1.00, 1.18], P=0.04; MDcontinuous variable=0.15, 95% CI [0.13, 0.17], P<0.000 01}, increased effective rate of fundus symptom improvement(RR=1.26, 95% CI [1.22, 1.30], P<0.000 01), improved hemorheology index{standard mean difference(SMD)=-1.53, 95% CI [-2.04, -1.01], P<0.000 01}, shortened improvement time of fundus symptoms(MD=-5.53, 95% CI [-5.96, -5.09], P<0.000 01), and there was no significant difference on adverse events between the two groups. The results show that treatment of DR and RVO with Hexue Mingmu tablets may improve the macular thickness and hemorheology index of patients, which can significantly enhance the effect of corrected visual acuity and clinical efficiency, and shorten the time to symptom improvement. However, the original literature is of low quality and the pooled results have some limitations. Subsequent studies should try to use uniform standard assessment criteria and testing methods, focus on the rigor of study design and implementation, and pay attention to the key outcomes of this disease and the clinical safety of medication, so as to provide more reliable evidence to support this kind of clinical problems.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with lobar pneumonia and the distribution of pathogens in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) collected from these patients, hence providing a scientific basis for their precise diagnosis and treatment. Methods A total of 115 children diagnosed with lobar pneumonia from August 2019 to August 2022 at Suining Central Hospital were screened as the research subjects. The clinical manifestations and occurrence of complications in the patients were investigated. All the children underwent bronchoalveolar lavage after admission, and BALF samples were collected. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was adopted to detect and analyze the distribution and clinical characteristics of Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) and other related pathogenic microorganisms in BALF specimens. Results Among the 115 pediatric patients with lobar pneumonia, the occurrence of manifestations or complications including involvement of ≥2 lung lobes, myocardial damage, pleural effusion, abnormal liver function, digestive system involvement, nervous system involvement, rash, renal function impairment, and lung atelectasis were observed in 46, 46, 39, 33, 18, 17, 11, 5, and 4 cases, respectively. The pathogen positivity rate in the BALF samples of the 115 patients was 87.0% (100/115), with 81 cases of single infection and 19 cases of mixed infection. A total of 121 strains of pathogens were isolated, including 83 strains of Mycoplasmal pneumonia (MP) (accounting for 68.6%) and SP(13.2%). The differences in the detection rates of HI, MP, RSV strains among different age groups were statistically significant (χ2=8.834, 19.454, 10.284, P<0.05), while the differences in the infection rates of SP, KP, CP, and ADV were not statistically significant (χ2=3.393, 2.67, 0.565, 0.097, P>0.05). The MP pneumonia group showed significantly higher incidence of complications such as pleural effusion, nervous system involvement, and abnormal liver function than the non-MP pneumonia group (χ2=3.925, 4.195, and 4.513, P<0.05). The highest pathogen detection rate was in winter, accounting for 33.91%. Conclusions MP is the most common pathogen in BALF of children with lobar pneumonia. There is variation in the pathogen detection rate among different age groups and seasons. Those with combined infections were more prone to complications, which is worthy of attention by clinicians.

This paper reported a case of schizophrenia combined with pulmonary tuberculosis treated with clozapine in combination with rifampicin. Due to the induction of hepatic drug enzyme of rifampicin, plasma concentration of clozapine could not reach the effective concentration and the patient still had psychotic symptoms such as persecutory delusion. After discontinuation of rifampicin, plasma concentration of clozapine were in the effective concentration range and the patient's psychiatric symptoms improved. By analysing the therapeutic regimen for the patient with schizophrenia combined with pulmonary tuberculosis, this case suggested a possible interaction between clozapine and rifampin, and provided a reference for the treatment of this type of patients.

Objective:To explore the value of pre-treatment contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT)-based texture analysis in predicting response to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) immunotherapy.Methods:From January to July 2018, a total of 51 lesions from 42 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer receiving immunotherapy at Shanghai Chest Hospital were selected in this retrospective study. Pre-treatment contrast-enhanced CT-based texture features were extracted by MaZda software. Ten optimal texture features were chosen based on three different methods: Fisher coefficient, mutual information measure (MI) and minimization of classification error probability combined average correlation coefficients(POE+ ACC), respectively. According to the efficacy of the first immunotherapy, 51 lesions were divided into non-progressive disease (non-PD, n=26) and progressive disease (PD, n=25). The differences were tested in each texture feature set between the two groups. The immunotherapy effects of target lesions were analyzed by principal component analysis(PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and nonlinear discriminant analysis (NDA). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive-predictive value (PPV) and negative-predictive value (NPV) were calculated. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to quantify the predictive accuracy of the three analysis models for each texture feature set and compare them with the actual classification results. Results:In all of three texture feature sets, the texture parameter differences of Perc.50%, Perc.90%, "S(5, 5)SumEntrp" and "S(4, 4)SumEntrp" were higher in PD group than those in non-PD group (all P<0.05). The classification result of texture feature set chosen by POE+ ACC and analyzed by NDA was identified as the best model (AUC=0.802, 95% CI: 0.674-0.930), and its sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV were 72%, 88.5%, 80.4%, 85.7%, 76.7%, respectively. Conclusion:Pre-treatment contrast-enhanced CT-based texture characteristics of NSCLC may function as non-invasive biomarkers for the evaluation of response to immunotherapy.
