Objective:To explore the effects of different graft to recipient body weight ratio (GRWR) on the efficacy of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in infants with biliary atresia (BA).Methods:Clinical data of 175 BA infants, including 98 males and 77 females, age at transplantation was 5.40 (4.77, 6.33) months, who underwent LDLT at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from May 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into the routine GRWR group (2%≤GRWR≤ 4%, n=121) and high GRWR group (GRWR>4%, n=54). The preoperative general condition, intraoperative condition and postoperative recovery of children in the two groups were compared. Survival analysis was performed by using Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test was used to compare survival differences. Results:A total of 16 (9.14%, 16/175) children underwent unplanned surgery after LDLT. There were statistically significant differences in weight at LDLT and graft weight between children in the routine GRWR and high GRWR groups (both P<0.05). There were no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of operative time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative complication rates (all P>0.05). There were no hepatic artery thrombosis or stenosis occurred in the children of both groups after LDLT. The cumulative survival rates of the children in the routine GRWR group were 97.5% and 95.5% at 1 and 3 years after LDLT, respectively, and 96.3% and 94.2% at 1 and 3 years after LDLT in the high GRWR group, and the difference in cumulative survival rates between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P=0.692). Conclusion:The use of liver grafts with GRWR >4% is also safe and effective for LDLT in infants with BA, which supposes that may not be necessary to reduce the transplanted liver volume in children LDLT with high GRWR.

Background In the context of improving urban environment for healthy aging, it is necessary to rationally plan and provide community living space and public service facilities suitable for the elderly, and constantly optimize the built environment towards an age-friendly city. Objective To understand the relationship between community built environment and obesity in the elderly in Longgang City, and to provide a reference basis for improving the health of the elderly. Methods Elderly adults aged 60-90 years (n=6527) who completed a physical examination during the period from October 2020 to January 2021 in Longgang City were surveyed, and data on height and weight, waist circumference (WC), and other sociological demographic characteristics were obtained. Overweight was determined by 24 kg·m⁻² ≤ body mass index (BMI) < 28 kg·m⁻² and obesity by BMI ≥ 28 kg·m⁻². Men with WC ≥ 85 cm and women with WC ≥ 80 cm were considered central obesity. Based on the participants' residential addresses, geocoding was performed using a geographic information system, and built environment indicators such as restaurants, convenience stores, and basic medical facilities were obtained using Gaode Map. A binary logistic regression model with adjusted individual-level covariates was used to evaluate the relationship between obesity and built environment indicators among elderly adults by gender and age. Results Among the 6527 community elderly, 46.93% were male and 53.07% were female, with a mean age of (73.69±0.07) years, a mean BMI of (24.32±2.84) kg·m⁻², and 51.92% of the elderly were overweight or obese. The regression results showed that for elderly men, the more convenience stores and the higher mixed land use in residential areas, the higher risk of central obesity; however, the increases in street connectivity and accessibility to parks and recreational areas were associated a decreased risk of central obesity. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was higher among elderly women with more convenience stores in residential areas, while increased street connectivity was associated with a lower prevalence of central obesity among elderly women. Accessibility to primary health care facilities was negatively associated with the risk of central obesity among the 60- to 70-year-olds. For elderly residents aged 71−80 years, higher mixed land use and better accessibility to transit stations were associated with a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity, while street connectivity was negatively associated with the central obesity. Proximity to parks and recreational areas was associated with a reduced risk of overweight/obesity among the 81- to 90-year-olds. Conclusion Among the variables of a 500-m neighborhood built environment, the number of convenience stores, mixed land use, street connectivity, accessibility to primary health care facilities, accessibility to public transit stations, and accessibility to parks and recreational areas are correlated with obesity among elderly residents, and the degree of influence varies by gender and age.

Under the situation of regular epidemic prevention and control of COVID-19, the hospitals need to establish an emergency personnel pool and update it regularly. The author introduced the experience of establishing and managing the emergency personnel pool in a hospital, including the use of information technology to achieve scientific grouping and dynamic management, strengthening the emergency response ability, epidemic prevention and control training and assessment of all staff, ensuring their mental health and logistics support, and improving the performance assessment, salary and welfare system of emergency personnel.From December 2021 to May 2022, the members of the emergency personnel pool completed a total of 62 emergency support tasks. The response time and team gathering time of all emergency tasks were reduced to less than 1 hour. A total of 4 421 medical personnel were sent. The nucleic acid test results of COVID-19 during the tasks were negative, the infection rate was zero, and no adverse events occurred.

Objective:To understand the positive rate of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) specific IgG antibody induced by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) inactivated vaccine in healthy population in Xizang Autonomous Region, and evaluate the immune effect of the vaccine.Methods:Serum samples were collected from COIVD-19 vaccine immunized health population without history of 2019-nCoV infection from six prefecture-level cities in Xizang Autonomous Region. The IgG antibody against 2019-nCoV were tested by chemiluminescence method. Then, the positive rate of IgG antibody was analyzed for different immunization histories and age groups.Results:A total of 22 255 participants were enrolled in this survey. After full-access (two doses of vaccine) and booster immunization, the overall positive rate of specific IgG antibody against 2019-nCoV was 96.38%. The positive rate of IgG antibody in the booster immunized population was 97.12%, which was much higher than the 88.38% in the full-access immunization population, the difference is statistically significant ( χ2=381.11, P<0.001). There was a significant differences in the positive rates of specific IgG antibodies in different age groups ( χ2=138.28, P<0.001). Especially in the younger age groups, including less than 10 years old and the 11-20 years age group, the positive rate of specific IgG antibody were 93.44% and 89.03% respectively, which were lower than those in other age groups. Except for Naqu city and the age group ≤ 10 years old, the differences in antibody positivity rates were statistically significant between different age groups in the same region and between the different regions in the same age group for the two populations with different immunization histories ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The COVID-19 inactivated vaccine showed a good immune effect in the healthy population in Xizang Autonomous Region, and the booster immunization helps to increase the positive rate of specific IgG antibody in healthy population.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptorⅡ: IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR:Fc) in the treatment of drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) .Methods:From 2009 to 2018, 22 patients with TEN were enrolled from 8 centers such as the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, including 10 males and 12 females, whose age ranged from 22 to 75 years. These patients were subcutaneously injected with rhTNFR:Fc at a dose of 25 mg once every 3 days for 6 - 8 consecutive sessions, and the initial dose was doubled. The drug eruption area and severity index (DASI) score and DASI improvement indices (DASI50, DASI75 and DASI90) were assessed before treatment and on days 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25 after treatment; cytometric bead array (CBA) technology was used to detect the level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α in peripheral blood and blister fluid samples. During the treatment, body temperature, rash changes, liver and kidney function of patients were monitored, and adverse reactions were recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out by using repeated measures analysis of variance, paired t test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Of the 22 patients, the temperature stopped rising in 20 patients without infections 24 - 72 hours after the first treatment, and returned to normal after 48 - 120 hours. Among the 22 patients, new blisters stopped appearing 24 - 48 hours after the first treatment, the skin color changed from bright red to dark purple after 48 - 96 hours, and most skin lesions subsided after 2 weeks. After 2 - 4 weeks of treatment, levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase returned to normal in 19 patients with abnormal liver function. After 4 - 13 days of treatment, levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen stopped rising in 7 patients with abnormal renal function. During the treatment, the DASI score of the 22 patients gradually decreased ( F = 532.81, P < 0.01) , from 53.64 ± 8.67 before treatment to 2.05 ± 1.21 on day 25 after treatment ( t = 26.60, P < 0.001) . On day 10 after treatment, 22 patients (100%) achieved DASI50; on day 19, 22 (100%) achieved DASI75; on day 25, 20 (90.90%) achieved DASI90. The level of TNF-α in peripheral blood of the 22 patients gradually decreased along with the extension of treatment duration, from 33.95 ± 27.90 ng/L before treatment to 2.38 ± 0.79 ng/L on day 25. Before treatment, the level of TNF-α in blister fluid of 15 patients was 111.99 ± 99.41 ng/L, and the ratio of blister-fluid TNF-α level to peripheral blood TNF-α level was 1.83 - 28.21. Before treatment, no correlation was observed between the serum level of TNF-α and DASI score in the 22 patients ( P = 0.10) , while the blister-fluid TNF-α level was positively correlated with DASI score in the 15 patients ( r = 0.59, P = 0.02) . No acute adverse reactions were observed during the treatment. All the 22 patients completed the treatment and were discharged with complete recovery. During 6 months of follow-up after discharge, no recurrence or any complication was observed. Conclusion:rhTNFR:Fc is effective and safe for the treatment of drug-induced TEN.

Objective: To investigate the recovery of splenomegaly and hypersplenism after liver transplantation in children and explore the necessity of splenomegaly management before and during liver transplantation. Method: The data of 22 children who were underwent liver transplantation with preoperative splenomegaly and hypersplenism who were not treated with splenomegaly before and during operation and with no recurrence of portal hypertension during postoperative follow-up in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from December 2008 to January 2019 were collected. There were 13 male patients and 9 female patients with a median age of 6.5 months. The changes of erythrocyte, platelet, white blood cell and spleen length and thickness were analyzed by paired t-test before and at the 1st, 3rd and 6th months after surgery. Correlation analysis was performed on the change of spleen long diameter and thickness product and blood cell recovery. Results: There were 21 cases of red blood cell decreased before surgery, with a mean value of(3.1±0.5)×10¹²/L, and(3.7±0.7)×10¹²/L, (4.6±0.6)×10¹²/L and (4.3±0.5)×10¹²/L at the 1st, 3rd and 6th months after operation, respectively. The differences between the preoperative and postoperative groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were 7 cases of thrombocytopenia before operation, with an average of (70.0±17.0)×10⁹/L, and (191.0±129.0)×10⁹/L, (156.0±79.0)×10⁹/L and (167.0±63.0)×10⁹/L at the 1st, 3rd and 6th months after operation, respectively. The differences between the first, third, and sixth months after surgery were significant compared with that before surgery (P<0.05). Leukocyte count decreased in 5 cases with an average value of (3.30±0.56)×10⁹/L before surgery, (7.5±4.4)×10⁹/L, (7.4±1.4)×10⁹/L, (5.1± 2.5)×10⁹/L at the 1st, 3rd and 6th months after operation, respectively. The differences between the two groups were significant (P<0.05). The average value of preoperative spleen length times thickness was (35.7±12.9) cm² and at the 1st, 3rd, 6th month after surgery it was (26.2±8.1)cm², (25.2±13.4)cm², (27.2±7.4)cm², respectively. The differences between the first, third months after surgery were significant compared with that before surgery (P<0.05). The white blood cell and platelet counts of children before and after surgery were correlated with spleen size negatively (correlation coefficients were -0.902, -0.933, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions In the early stage of liver transplantation, the size of spleen retracts to varying degrees, and hypersplenism can be alleviated continuously. Therefore, it is unnecessary to treat splenomegaly and hypersplenism before and during liver transplantation.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of immune tolerance after liver transplantation in children and to identify possible predictors.Methods The clinical data of 37 pediatric patients who underwent liver transplantation between April 2006 and April 2014 at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the no-drug (n =4),single-drug (n =16) and multi-drug (n =17) groups according to the status of their current immunosuppressant medications.The possible predictive factors were screened based on their clinical data,and statistical analysis was performed.Results The 37 liver transplantation recipients included 16 males (43.2％) and 21 females (56.8％).The factors that differed among the groups included age at transplantation and the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of the transplant recipients.Age,ALT level,and AST level of the transplant recipients were significantly different between the single-drug group and the multi-drug group (all P ＜ 0.05).However,only the ALT Ievel was significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) between the no-drug group and the multi-drug group.No significant differences were found in the various other factors between the no-drug and single-drug groups.Conclusion The age of the recipient at transplantation was a predictive factor affecting clinical immune tolerance in pediatric liver transplantation,while ALT and AST levels were potential predictors of postoperative immune tolerance.

Background Giant idiopathic macular hole (IMH) severely affects visual acuity and increases operative difficulty during the surgery,so modifying or optimizing the operation method is helpful for improving the prognosis.Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safty of vitrectomy combined with free internal limiting membrane transplantation for large IMH.Methods A prospective serial cases-observational study was carried out under the informed consent of each patient.Forty-two eyes of consecutive 42 patients with IMH of mean diameter (814.31±112.95)μm were included in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2013 to November 2015.All the eyes received vitrectomy combined with free internal limiting membrane transplantation and 12％ C3F8 filling.The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (LogMAR),inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) defect range,external limiting membrane defect range,retinal thickness at macular fovea were measured with slit lamp microscope,indirect ophthalmoscope and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) before surgery and 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery.Results IMH complete closure in 97.6％ eyes (41/44) at 12 months after surgery.BCVA was improved after operation and showed a significant difference among various time points (F =28.032,P＜0.001).The IS/OS defect range was (1 112.00±45.44),(859.00±84.55),(649.00±52.47),(486.00±46.88) and (320.00±45.13) μm before surgery and 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery,showing a significant difference among different time points (F=38.761,P＜0.001),and the IS/OS defect range was gradually shrinked after operation compared with that before operation (all at P＜0.05).The mean defect range of external limiting membrane was (1 038.00 ±39.63),(748.00±64.12),(585.00±48.88),(438.00±42.84) and (265.00±28.97)μm before surgery and 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery,with a significant difference among various time points (F=36.459,P＜0.001),and the mean defect range of external limiting membrane was evidently reduced (all at P＜0.05).The foveal retinal thickness value was increased at 3,6 and 12 months after surgery,which was significantly higher than that 1 month after surgery (all at P＜0.05).The high reflect signal was faded away at 3 months after operation,indicating that implanted internal limiting membrane was decomposed and metabolized.Conclusions Vitrectomy combined with autologous internal limiting membrane transplantation seems to be safe and effective for large IMH.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects and safety of gamma globulin combined with phototherapy on serum preal-bumin(PAB)and total bile acid(TBA)of ABO hemolytic children. METHODS:A total of 90 ABO hemolytic children in our hos-pital during Feb. 2014-Sept. 2016 were selected as research objects and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 45 cases in each group. Both groups were given routine active correction of hypoxia and pretreatment for possible hypoglycemia and hypothermia. Control group was additionally given phototherapy with wavelength of 425-475 nm. Ob-servation group was additionally given Human immunoglobulin for intravenous injection (pH4) 1.0g/kg was added to normal saline 10 mL,ivgtt,on the basis of control group and treated for 1 d. The time of jaundice regression,phototherapy duration and hospital-ization time were compared between 2 groups,and the levels of PAB and TBA were compared before and after treatment. The occur-rence of ADR was recorded in 2 groups. RESULTS:The time of jaundice regression,phototherapy duration and hospitalization time in observation group were significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of PAB or TBA between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the level of PAB was increased significantly in 2 groups,while the level of TBA was decreased significantly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Gamma globulin combined with phototherapy can significantly shorten the time of clinical symptom im-provement,increase serum level of PAB whlie decrease serum level of TBA in ABO hemolytic children,with good safety.

Objective To study the biological characteristics of cypermethrin?resistance strain and?susceptible strain of Ae?des albopictus under different controlled temperatures in the laboratory. Methods The two strains were raised at three different temperatures 20 25℃and 28℃respectively and the biological characteristics of the two mosquito strains such as reproduc?tion development and life expectancy were observed and recorded in the laboratory. Results The life expectancy of both strains became shorter as the temperature raised and the resistant strain 69.37%± 0.01% 77.04%± 0.07% lived shorter than the susceptible strain 85.24%±0.03% 88.23%±0.05% in average. Under 25℃ the hatching rate of resistant strain decreased by 25.88% and the pupation rate decreased by 11.18%. In the three temperatures all the life expectancy expanded as the tem?perature went up the periods for the susceptible strain were 19.75±0.10 23.65±0.07 d and 25.08±0.08 d under 28 25℃and 20℃. While life expectancy for the resistant strain decreased to 17.21±0.09 20.95±0.09 22.58±0.10 d. Under the same tem?perature the development timing of the resistance strain was longer than that of the susceptible strain and the period was the longest under 28 ℃ 156.2 h 137.1 h . In the three temperatures all the development periods expanded as the temperature went up the susceptible and resistant larvae developed 137.1 d and 163.3 d 247.7 d and 156.2 d 182.3 d and 263.2 d under 28 25℃and 20℃. The differences show statistic significance P<0.05 . Conclusion The resistance of A. albopictus to cy?permethrin results in the decrease of adaptability to the environment change and the disadvantage of reproduction at different temperatures.
