Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) in cases of febrile respiratory syndrome in China from 2010 to 2020.Methods:Based on the sub-project of the National Science and Technology Major Project for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control "Infectious Disease Monitoring Technology Platform", active monitoring of febrile respiratory syndrome cases was conducted in sentinel hospitals in 31 provinces across China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Chinese Taiwan) from January 2010 to December 2020, resulting in the inclusion of 191 441 cases. Clinical specimens of monitored cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid, and the differences in HRSV detection rates among different age groups, regions, and time periods were analyzed using the χ 2 test/Fisher exact probability method. Results:Among the 191 441 cases of febrile respiratory syndrome in China from 2010 to 2020, the age group M ( Q1, Q3) was 9 (2, 40) years old, with 83 773 cases (43.8%) in the <5 years old group. There were 113 660 males, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.5∶1.0. There were as many as 105 508 cases (55.2%) of scattered children and preschool children. About 70 565 cases (36.9%) lived in the northern region. There were 13 858 HRSV positive cases, with a total positive rate of 7.2%. The positive rate of HRSV detection in the northern population was 5.7% (4 004/70 565), which was lower than that in the southern population (8.2%, 9 854/120 876), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=407.4, P<0.001). HRSV was detected in all age groups, with the highest positive rate of 23.9% in the <6 months age group. The month with the highest positive rate was December, and autumn and winter were the main epidemic seasons. Both northern and southern HRSV subtypes were mainly infected with type A, with a low proportion of mixed infections of type A and type B. Conclusion:HRSV is a common pathogen causing respiratory infections in children from 2010 to 2020. It can be detected throughout the year and shows the main peak of prevalence in autumn and winter. The HRSV strain is mainly classified as a type A infection.

Compelling evidence has demonstrated the critical role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) during lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression. Herein, we explored a novel circRNA, circ_0129047, and detailed its mechanism of action. The expression of circ 0129047, microRNA-665 (miR-665), and protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B (PTPRB) in LUAD tissues and cells was determined using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony formation assays were conducted to detect LUAD cell proliferation, and western blotting was performed to quantify apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax). Luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were used to validate the predicted interaction between miR-665 and circ_0129047 or PTPRB.A xenograft assay was used for the in vivo experiments. Circ_0129047 and PTPRB were downregulated in LUAD tissues and cells, whereas miR-665 expression was upregulated. Overexpression of circ_0129047 suppresses LUAD growth in vivo and in vitro. Circ_0129047 is the target of miR-665, and the miR-665 mimic ablated the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic phenotypes of LUAD cells by circ_0129047 augmentation. MiR-665 targets the 3ʹUTR of PTPRB and downregulates PTPRB expression. PTPRB overexpression offsets the pro-proliferative potential of miR-665 in LUAD cells. Circ_0129047 sequestered miR-665 and upregulated PTPRB expression, thereby reducing LUAD progression, suggesting a promising approach for preventing LUAD.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of a method based on neuroimaging and surface markers for locating scalp projection of intracranial lesions.Methods:The clinical data of 46 patients who were used ‘double-circle method’ for locating scalp projection of intracranial lesions at Department of Neurosurgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from January to June 2021 were retrospective analyzed. All patients with 2 electrodes(artificial fiducials) randomly attached to scalp had been examed thin-layer brain CT. The distances from the center of each fiducial to the root of the nose and tragus were measured through the images. A compass was used to draw two arcs with the root of nose and the tragus as the center and the pre-measured distance as the radius on patient′s scalp. Then two arcs′ intersection on the scalp was the fiducial. The method was named ‘double-circle method’. Two neurosurgeons were arranged to perform fiducial identification with double-circle method, and record the error between the result and the actual fiducial point.Independent sample t test was used for data comparison, and Kappa test was used to analysis the inter-group consistency. Results:Ninety-two fiducial points of 46 patients were collected. Time consuming of doctor A was (8.1±2.3) minutes(range:5 to 15 minutes)and doctor B was (8.9±3.5) minutes(range:4 to 17 minutes).The positioning error from the doctor A was (4.4±2.4)mm(range:0 to 12 mm) and doctor B was(4.2±2.6) mm(range:0 to 14 mm)( t=-0.575, P=0.567),the difference was not statistically significant. The Kappa value of the consistency test of error between two doctors was 0.517( P=0.001).The consistency was moderate.Eight patients used ‘double-circle method’ and neuronavigation for locating scalp projection of intracranial lesions at the same time. The diameter of the lesions was (3.8±0.9)cm (range: 2.6 to 5.1 cm), and the positioning error of the ‘double-circle method’ and navigation was (4.0±1.9) mm(range: 1 to 6 mm), and all patients were confirmed to be accurately located during surgery. Conclusion:‘Double-circle method’ is a simple,convenient and accurate way in locating intracranial lesions and has certain clinical significance.

Domestic and foreign literatures related to the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 and the re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 were reviewed, and the characteristics and infectivity of the re-positive cases were analyzed to provide scientific evidence for the improvement of case management and the development of measures to stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Existing studies have shown that re-positive rate of SARS-CoV-2 ranged from 2.4% to 19.8%, the median of interval between re-positive detection and discharge was 4-15 days. Following the second course of the disease, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM, IgG and IgA positive rates of the cases were 11.11%-86.08%, 52.00%-100.00% and 61.54%-100.00% respectively, the total antibody and neutralizing antibody positive rates were 98.72% and 88.46%. The viral load of the re-positive cases was lower than that in the initial infection. At least 3 380 re-positive cases have been reported globally. SARS-CoV-2 strains were isolated from the samples of 3 re-positive cases (1 immunodeficiency case and 2 cases with abnormal pulmonary imaging). There were close contacts that were infected by an asymptomatic case taking immunosuppressive agents. In conclusion, the infectivity of re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 is generally very low. Rare re-positive cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 might cause further transmission. The management approach for the re-positive cases can be based on the assessment of the individual transmission risk according to the pathogen detection results.

Objective:To analyze the current status of duplicated reporting of brucellosis in China during 2005-2017, to understand the impact of duplicated reporting on the incidence of brucellosis, analyze the possible causes of duplicated reporting, and put forward propose solutions to further improve the brucellosis surveillance data quality.Methods:Data were from brucellosis case reporting cards in National Notifiable Disease Report System (NNDRS), Excel 2010 software was used to establish the database, the duplicated reporting was identified by using Spark DataFrame aggregation analysis in Python 3.2.Results:During 2005-2017, a total of 499 577 cases of brucellosis were reported, but the duplicated reporting rate was 75.76/10 000 (3 785/499 577). The duplicated reporting rate in same year was 37.21/10 000 (1 859/499 577), the duplicated reporting rate in other year was 39.87/10 000 (1 992/499 577) and the overall duplicated reporting rate increased year by year. The duplicated reporting rate in same institution was 33.59 % (1 271/3 785) and the duplicated reporting rate by other institutions was 66.41 % (2 514/3 785). Hospitals had the highest number of duplicated reporting (2 757), and community healthcare centers had the highest of duplicated reporting rate (281.27/10 000) (123/4 373). The reported incidence of brucellosis was 2.926 4/100 000 in 2017, the corrected incidence was 2.844 8/100 000 after removing the duplicated reporting, which was the maximum decrease from 2005 to 2017, the corrected incidence decreased by 2.79 %. From 2005 to 2017, the average reported incidence of brucellosis in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region was 14.712 0/100 000, and the corrected incidence was 14.060 0/100 000 after removing the duplicate reporting, with a decrease by 4.43 %, the biggest decline in China. The average reported incidence of brucellosis in Ningxia Hui autonomous region was 13.987 1/100 000, and the corrected incidence of brucellosis was 13.662 2/100 000, with a decrease of 2.32 %, ranking second in China. The reasons for duplicated reporting of brucellosis included repeated medical care seeking in same or different medical institutions in same year or other year, including the repeated medical care seeking in other areas. Conclusions:During 2005-2017, the number of duplicated reporting of brucellosis cases was on the rise in China. Hospital and community health service centers had highest case number and rate of duplicate reporting respectively, the duplicated reporting was mainly caused by re-reporting by other institutions or in other years. The duplicated reporting of brucellosis had greatly affected the accuracy of surveillance data of brucellosis in some provinces, such as Xinjiang and Ningxia. It is recommended to further strengthen brucellosis reporting management, improve data quality of NNDRS.

Objective To analyze the pathogenesis and clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and to explore the corresponding nursing interventions. Methods From January 2011 to December 2013, a total of 84 patients with chronic drug-induced liver injury in Beijing You'an Hospital were recruited by convenience sampling method according to the diagnostic criteria of Guidelines for the Management of Drug-Induced Liver Injury. The demographic characteristics, the possible drugs and clinical characteristics were inputted into Epidata management database and were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. Results In the study, there were 132 kinds of drugs which induced chronic liver injury. Thirty-three of all the recruited patients were using over 2 kinds of medications, among which traditional Chinese medicine accounted for 47.0%, which were mainly used for dermatopathy, rheumatosis and healthcare. The second were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antituberculosis drugs. Fifty-six patients had underlying diseases, accounting for 66.7%, of which 16 patients had more than 2 underlying diseases. The main clinical manifestations were fatigue, anorexia and jaundice. 14.3% of the patients showed complications. Conclusions The incidence of drug-induced liver injury was increasing with years. It's important to conduct the health education of drug-using safety, especially to the elderly women and the ones with underlying diseases. The course of chronic liver injury was long and tends to relapse, so it's essential to observe the reaction to drugs and take correspondent measures during the nursing work. Besides, we need to pay much attention to psychological counseling of the patients.

BACKGROUND:Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis has advantages in theoretic design,in vitro kinematics and abrasion, but it remains unclear whether its clinical outcomes for vaglus knee deformity are better than Legacy constrained condylar knee prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the midterm folow-up effect of Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty in patients with valgus knee deformity. METHODS: From February 2006 to November 2013 in Department of Bone and Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical Colege, total knee arthroplasty was used to treat valgus knee deformity in 33 cases (35 knees). Parapatelar medial approach was used. Precise osteotomy was utilized to correct limb alignment. Lateral soft tissue received selective release. Finaly, an equal type of Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis (Zimmer, USA) was implanted and fixed with antibiotic bone cement. The differences in hospital for special surgery knee score, range of motion of knee, femoral tibial angle, and maximum flexion and extension angle, as wel as X-ray film results were compared and analyzed before and after replacement. The complications including deep vein thrombosis, peri-prosthetic infection, patelar clicking, unstable knee, and common peroneal nerve injury were recorded after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al patients were folowed up for 24-50 months. The incision was healed in one-stage. No complications such as peri-prosthetic infection appeared. Three patients suffered from common peroneal nerve palsy, which was cured at half a year after surgery by expectant treatment such as trophic nerve. Two cases suffered from knee instability after replacement, which was improved at 1 month after external fixation with a brace. One case experienced deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremity, which was improved after treatment with low molecular weight heparin anticoagulation. During final folow-up, hospital for special surgery knee score increased from (51.85±4.15) preoperatively to (85.77±2.50) postoperatively (P < 0.01). There were excelent in 20 knees, good in 11 knees, with an excelent and good rate of 89%. X-ray films showed that hindlimb alignment was apparently corrected, prosthetic position was good, no loosening occurred. These data indicate that total knee arthroplasty, using parapatelar medial approach, obtained good correction outcomes through the accurate amputation to correct hindlimb alignment and selective release of the soft tissue with Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis in the treatment of valgus knee deformity.

Objectives We sought to determine the factors that predicted in-hospital heart failure(HF)in patients undergoing successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI). Methods The clinical and angiographic data were retrospectively reviewed in patients undergoing successful primary PCI for their ifrst STEMI. According to the occurrence of in-hospital HF, patients were divided into HF group and non-HF group. The incidence and predictors of in-hospital HF and its impact on prognosis were determined. Results A total of 834 patients were included, among them 94 patients (11.3%) were in the HF group and 740 patients(88.7%) were in the non-HF group. The mean age was (62.9±12.9) years and 662 patients (79.4%) were male. All-cause mortality at 30 days was signiifcantly higher in the HF group than in the non-HF group (24.5%vs. 1.5%, P<0.001). In Cox regression analysis, left anterior descending artery (LAD) as the culprit vessel (HR 2.173, 95% CI 1.12~4.212, P=0.022), ln 24 h NT-proBNP (HR 1.904, 95%CI 1.479~2.452, P<0.001), 24 h hsCRP≥11.0 mg/L (median) (HR 2.901, 95%CI 1.309~6.430, P=0.009) and baseline serum glucose (HR 1.022, 95%CI 1.000 ~ 1.044, P=0.046) were independent predictors of in-hospital HF. Receiver operator characteristic analysis identiifed 24 h NT-proBNP ≥ 1171 pg/ml (c=0.883, P < 0.001) and 24 h hsCRP ≥ 13.5 mg/L (c=0.829, P < 0.001) were the best cut-off values in discriminating in-hospital HF with a sensitivity and speciifcity of 92.5%and 76.8%for 24 h NT-proBNP, 86.0%and 77.0%for 24 h hsCRP, respectively. Even among patients with LAD as the culprit vessel, the incidence of in-hospital HF was only 0.4%in patients whose 24 h NT-proBNP was<1171 pg/ml and 24 h hsCRP was<13.5 mg/L;while the incidence of in-hospital HF was up to 60.9%in patients whose 24 h NT-proBNP≥1171 pg/ml and 24 h hsCRP≥13.5 mg/L (P<0.001). Conclusions The incidence of in-hospital HF was still high in STEMI patients even after successful primary PCI. Patients with in-hospital HF had poor prognosis. LAD as the culprit vessel, hsCRP, NT-proBNP and baseline serum glucose were independent predictors of in-hospital HF. Assessment and combined use of different serum biomarkers were effective methods to estimate the risk of in-hospital HF in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
