Objective:To analyze the correlation between peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) level and clinical characteristics of patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) .Methods:From January 2007 to November 2020, newly diagnosed patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with COPD in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were stratified into EOS<100 cells/μl group and EOS≥100 cells/μl group, taking 100 cells/μl as the cut-off value. Demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, lung function and laboratory indexes were compared between the two groups.Results:The median EOS count of patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with COPD was 100 (40, 180) cells/μl. 50.2% (160/319) had blood eosinophil counts ≥100 cells/μl, and 11.0% (35/319) had blood eosinophil counts ≥300 cells/μl. In comparison with EOS<100 cells/μl group, EOS≥100 cells/μl group were older ( P=0.035), had higher body mass index ( P=0.008), and had lower forced respiratory volume in the first second ( P=0.017), had higher the ratio of residual volume to total lung volume ( P=0.010), and had lower diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide ( P=0.008). Arterial partial pressure of oxygen was significantly reduced in EOS≥100 cells/μl group ( P=0.039). The peripheral blood EOS count was negatively correlated with forced vital capacity, forced breathing volume in the first second, carbon monoxide diffusion, peak expiratory flow, and maximum mid expiratory flow as a percentage of expected values ( rs=-0.22, -0.18, -0.19, -0.19, -0.19, P=0.000, 0.001, 0.003, 0.008, 0.002), and positively correlated with the ratio of residual air volume to total lung volume ( rs=0.17, P=0.002) . Conclusion:There was a correlation between blood EOS count and pulmonary function parameters, can proide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of chnoric obstuctive pulmmory disease in clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the urine of normal healthy left-behind children under 1 year old and left-behind children with zinc deficiency under 1 year old in Zunyi area using hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1HNMR), thus providing a new biomarker for the early diagnosis of zinc deficiency. Methods:From January to August 2018, a total of 40 normal healthy left-behind children under 1 year old in Zunyi area(healthy control group)[22 males and 18 females, average age of (7.78±3.62) months, average height of (65.01±2.67) cm and average body mass of (7.15±1.59) kg] and 40 age-matched left-behind children with zinc deficiency in the same region(zinc deficiency group)[19 males and 21 females, average age of (7.89±3.57) months, average height of (64.25±2.95) cm and average body mass of (7.02±1.68) kg] were included for a cross-sectional study by stratified sampling.The urine 1HNMR spectra of children in the 2 groups were measured, and the age, height, body mass and serum zinc content of children in the 2 groups were compared.The metabolites of the 2 groups were compared by metabono-mics technology combined with multivariate statistical analysis, and the differential metabolites of children with zinc deficiency were screened out. Results:There were no significant differences in age, height and body mass between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The serum zinc level of healthy control group was significantly higher than that of zinc deficiency group [(54.3±3.06) mmol/L vs.(39.2±3.77) mmol/L, t=22.65, P<0.05]. Urine 1HNMR spectrogram results showed that compared with healthy controls, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, phenyl acetyl glycine, and hippuric acid salt water were significantly lower in zinc deficiency group ( r=-0.620, -0.689, and -0.721, respectively, all | r|>0.602, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Zinc deficiency in left-behind children under 1 year old in Zunyi area is mainly manifested by decreased metabolites of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, phenylacetyl glycine and horse-urate, suggesting metabolic disorder of intestinal flora.Differentially expressed metabolites have a potential application value in the early diagnosis of zinc deficiency.

Objective:To systematically review the effects of the traditional Chinese medicine compound based on astragalus and angelica on bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the traditional Chinese medicine compound based on astragalus and angelica for bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy for malignant tumors were retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, OVID, SinoMed, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Databases. The search period was from the establishment of the database to September 2019. The literatures were screened and the data were extracted independently by two researchers and RevMan 5.3 was used for Meta-analysis.Results:Totally 15 RCTs were included, involving 1 019 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that there were statistically significant differences in peripheral blood leukocytes [ SMD=1.32; 95% CI (0.76, 1.89) ; P<0.000 01], platelets [ MD=25.05; 95% CI (8.00, 42.10) ; P=0.004], hemoglobin [ MD=24.14; 95% CI (16.34, 31.94) ; P<0.000 01] and clinical symptoms [ RR=1.38; 95% CI (1.25, 1.52) ; P<0.000 01] between the chemotherapy group, the chemotherapy combined with the western medicine group and the traditional Chinese medicine compound group. Conclusions:The traditional Chinese medicine compound based on astragalus and angelica can improve the level of peripheral blood cells, reduce bone marrow suppression, and improve clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients with cancer after chemotherapy. However, due to the low quality of the included literature and the large heterogeneity of some of the results, more rigorously designed high-quality RCTs are needed for further verification.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice of drug clinical trials among ovarian cancer patients.Methods:From July 2017 to December 2018, we selected 90 families of asthma children in Observation Room of Hangzhou Children's Hospital. All families were divided into observation group ( n=44) and control group ( n=46) with the method of random number table. In control group, pediatric specialist nurses provided regular self-management guidance and health education to children's families. Observation group received the intervention of asthma family empowerment program. Before intervention (when asthma children and their family members entered the Observation Room for treatment) and after intervention (the sixth week after intervention) , we evaluated the outcome indicators with the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) , Family Environment Scale (FES) and the Asthma Severity Scale. Results:The total score of PSI and scores of asthma status of observation group were lower than those of control group, and dimension scores of FES of observation group were better than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Asthma family empowerment program is beneficial to reduce parents' stress index, improve functional status and children's asthma symptoms.

Objective:
To explore the characteristic changes in urinary metabolites in left-behind children with vitamin D deficiency under 1 year old in Zunyi area by metabolomic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in order to provide new biomarkers for early diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency.
Methods:
From January to August 2018, blood tests and urine collection were carried out on the left-behind children under 1 year old in Fenggang county, Bozhou district and Zheng′an county under Zunyi city by stratified sampling.Forty children diagnosed as a vitamin D deficiency were selected as a vitamin D deficiency group, and 40 children with normal urine test were selected as a healthy control group.For urine sampling, SIMCA-P+ software was applied to analyze the integral value of hydrogen spectrogram by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to distinguish the difference in urine metabolites between two groups of the left-behind children.Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to screen different metabolites.
Results:
The serum level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25-(OH)D][(32.0±3.6) nmol/L ] in the healthy control group was higher than that in the vitamin D deficiency group[(15.8±2.3) nmol/L], and the difference was statistically significant (

Objective To investigate the management of Graves' disease in Jiangsu province. Methods According to the 2011 management of GD survey from American Thyroid Association and the 2013 survey from European Thyroid Association, a questionnaire was designed for this survey to acquire the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of Graves' disease among endocrinologists from 35 tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu province. Results A total of 476 valid questionnaires were collected. For patients with symptoms of hyperthyroidism, a large majority of respondents monitored serum FT3 , FT4 , TSH, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroglobulin antibody, TSH receptor antibody, and finding of thyroid ultrasound, accounted for 95. 6%, 95. 0%, 95. 4%, 95. 8%, 90. 3%, 90. 5%, and 93. 9%physicians, respectively. 91.2% of physicians preferred anti-thyroid drugs as the first-line treatment, and 92. 6% of them gave priority to the use of methimazole. For the duration of anti-thyroid drugs therapy, 41.2%of endocrinologists chose 24 months, while 20% chose 18 months. When patients have moderate and active ophthalmopathy, most respondents with medium or senior professional titles preferred anti-thyroid drugs, while most resident physicians chose radioactive iodine plus corticosteroids. When pregnancy was confirmed in the patients of Graves' disease, 88% of respondents preferred propylthiouracil during the first trimester of pregnancy, and 58. 4% of them would continue propylthiouracil into the second trimester. Conclusions The mastering of basic perception of Graves' disease knowledge is satisfactory among the endocrinologists. But by comparing to the American and European survey results and related guidelines, there are still some differences in diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, physicians should notice those differences and make improvement on standardized treatment for patients to raise the response ratio while reducing the recurrent events.
