OBJECTIVE To explore the main factors influencing the blood concentration of duloxetine, and provide a scientific basis for the individualized use of duloxetine. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted on 434 inpatients with depressive disorders at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, who were treated with duloxetine and underwent blood concentration monitoring between January 2022 and April 2024. The study examined the impact of various factors, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), gene phenotypes, combined medication, drug type (original/generic), and genotyping results of gene single nucleotide polymorphism loci, on blood concentration and the concentration-to-dose (C/D) after dose adjustment. RESULTS The blood concentration of duloxetine was 76.65 (45.57, 130.31) ng/mL, and C/D was 0.96 (0.63, 1.60) ng·d/(mL·mg). The blood concentration of duloxetine was positively correlated with the daily dose of administration (R2=0.253 7, P<0.001). Blood concentration of duloxetine in 38.94% of patients exceeded the recommended range specified in the guidelines. Gender, age, BMI, combined use of CYP2D6 enzyme inhibitors, and CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 phenotypes had significant effects on C/D of duloxetine (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The patient’s age, gender, BMI, combined medication, and genetic phenotypes are closely related to the blood concentration of duloxetine.

Objective:To investigate the occupational noise hazards in five machinery manufacturing enterprises, and to evaluate the individual noise reduction values and influencing factors of workers wearing hearing protection device (HPD) by individual fit testing.Methods:From November 2021 to January 2022, 5 machinery manufacturing enterprises in Bao'an District of Shenzhen were selected to conduct an occupational health survey to understand the noise exposure level of workers. The 3MTM E-A-RfitTM fitness test system was used to test the baseline individual sound attenuation value level (PAR) of the daily wear of the ear protecters for 485 workers in typical noise working positions. Workers whose PAR values could not meet the requirements of noise reduction at work were instructed to wear and repeated tests were conducted. PAR results of the workers before and after the intervention were collected and analyzed.Results:The noise workers who received the suitability test were mainly distributed in 24 types of work, the job noise exposure level was 80.2 dB (A) ~ 95.0 dB (A), and the job noise excess rate was 52.5% (138/263). The median baseline PAR [ M ( Q1, Q3) ] for 485 workers was 6.0 (0.0, 14.0) dB. The baseline PAR of male workers, those with more than 15 years of working experience, those with more than 15 years of using ear guards, those who considered ear guards comfortable to wear, those with college degree or above, and those exposed to noise level 90 dB (A) were higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). A total of 275 workers (56.7%) did not pass the baseline PAR test, and there was no statistically significant difference in the intervention rate of workers in different noise groups ( P>0.05). PAR in subjects who did not pass baseline after intervention increased from 0.0 (0.0, 3.0) dB to 15.0 (12.0, 18.2) dB. Conclusion:The workplace noise hazard of machinery manufacturing enterprises is serious, and there is a great difference between the baseline PAR and the nominal value of the hearing guard worn by the noise exposed workers. The intervention measures can effectively improve the protective effect of wearing ear protectors.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of a ketogenic diet (KD) alone and in combination with resistance training (KD+RT) on body composition and glucolipid metabolism of obese and female college students, and to provide a theoretical basis for the application of KD+RT in obese patients.
Methods:
Totally 45 obese and female college students in Wuyi University were recruited and randomly divided into KD group ( n =23) and KD+RT group ( n =22) in September 2021. After received training for 4 weeks, the changes of body composition and glucose and lipid metabolism of obese and female college students were compared before and after intervention.
Results:
Both a 4 week KD and KD+RT led to decreases in weight, BMI, body fat mass, body fat percentage, waist to hip ratio, visceral fat area of obese female college students ( t =16.19, 16.21, 12.42, 7.99, 2.10, 6.37; 18.82, 18.02, 17.80, 10.72, 3.41, 7.59, P <0.01). The change of muscle mass was decreased in KD group( t=4.12, P <0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in KD+RT group( P >0.05). Both a 4 week KD and KD+RT significantly reduced the levels of the fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin and triglyceride (TG) of obese female college students ( t =10.15, 8.94 , 6.94, 7.63; 9.23, 12.75, 9.85, 9.09, P <0.01), and increased the high density lipoprotein (HDL) level( t =-7.36, -5.22, P <0.01). However, only KD+RT group had a significant decrease in the level of LDL ( t =5.27, P <0.01), and there was no significant change in the level of TC both groups ( P >0.05). After the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the KD+RT group compared to the KD group ( P >0.05), except for a significant decrease in triacylglycerol ( t =2.51, P < 0.05 ).
Conclusion
Both a short term KD and KD+RT show beneficial changes in body composition and glucolipid metabolism in obese female college students. However, the KD+RT is superior to a KD in maintaining muscle mass and reducing the effects of lipid metabolism.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of vocabulary and phrase acquisition in Mandarin-exposed children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual developmental disability (IDD) or general developmental delay (GDD) in rehabilitation training institutions, and to provide a basis for selecting training vocabulary for ASD children.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out on 75 cases of 1-6-year-old children with neurodevelopmental disorders of ASD (the ASD group), IDD and GDD [the developmental disability(DD) group] by using a self-designed questionnaire containing nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives and pronouns, 464 words in total.The participants were recruited from Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Beijing Shouer Liqiao Children′s Hospital and Beijing Shunyi District Shouer Yazhi Children′s Rehabilitation Center from March 2019 to February 2020.Effective co-mmunication vocabulary was obtained." Children Neuropsychological and Behavioral Scale, Revision 2016" was used for developmental evaluation.At the same time, 37 children with normal development and equivalent intellectual age [the typical development(TD) group] were recruited from the outpatient department of children′s Health Department of Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics as a control group.The rank sum test or chi- square test was used for data analysis. Results:There were 31 children in the ASD group, with a median chronological age of 36.0 (27.0-59.0) months and median mental age of 20.6 (12.0-35.0) months.There were 44 children in the DD group, with a median chronological age of 37.0 (12.0-77.0) months and median mental age of 24.3 (6.0-56.0) months.There were 37 children in the TD group, with a median chronological age of 20.0 (10.0-61.0) months and median mental age of 21.9 (12.0-55.0) months.No significant difference was found in the mental age among the 3 groups ( χ2=0.718, P=0.698). The total development quotients of the ASD group and the DD group were 56 (36-83) and 68 (17-92), respectively, which were significantly lower than that of the TD group [99 (79-128)] ( χ2=45.234, 48.583; all P<0.001). Developmental assessment subscales: the developmental quotients of gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language and social behavior as well as communication warning behavior indices in the ASD group were 77, 52, 60, 39, 52 and 40, respectively; the above scores in the DD group were 75, 64, 73, 60, 60 and 8, respectively.The developmental levels of the ASD group in all the above 6 aspects, except for the gross motor, were significantly lower than those of the DD group ( χ2=5.763, 5.172, 11.174, 6.108, 41.917; all P<0.05). The effective communication vocabulary was 10 in the ASD group, 174 in the DD group and 146 in the TD group, and the difference was significant ( χ2=12.785, P=0.002). The ratio of children that could speak phrases was 9.7%in the ASD group, 29.5%in the DD group, and 51.4% in the TD group.The difference was significant ( χ2=13.733, P=0.001). Based on the analysis of the effective communication vocabulary, the number of effective communication words was none in the ASD group, only 1 in the DD group and 49 in the TD group if taking that more than 75% of the children could speak the word as the statistical cut-off point.If taking that 50%-<75% of the children could speak the word as the cut-off point, the number of effective communication words was only 6 (Mama, Baibai, Baba, Baobao, Men, and Bu successively) in the ASD group, 187 in the DD group, and 71 in the TD group.If taking that 25%-<50% of the children could speak the word as the cut-off point, the number of effective communication words was 112, 183 and 103 in ASD, DD and TD groups, respectively.There was a statistically significant difference in the number of effective communication words among the three groups ( χ2=456.694, P<0.001). Matching the effective communication vocabulary that more than 25% of the children in the ASD group could speak with that that more than 50% of the children in the TD group could speak, there were 93 overlapping words, accounting for 78.8%(93/118) of the ASD group and 77.5%(93/120) of the TD group.In the overlapping words, nouns accounted for 67.7%(63/93) and verbs accounted for 26.9%(25/93). Conclusions:The vocabulary acquired by children with ASD and DD is similar to that by TD children of the same mental age.However, ASD children have extremely low vocabulary expression and comprehension ability.The effective communication words of ASD and TD children overlap at different percentages.These overlapping words provide a basis for optimizing the selection of training vocabulary.Training vocabulary dominated by nouns and verbs may help to improve the effect of intervention training in ASD children.

Objective:To evaluate the activity of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) in fetal villi and peripheral blood plasma of pregnant women at high risk of mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ (MPS Ⅱ), and to discuss the application of gene analysis in prenatal diagnosis of MPS Ⅱ.Methods:The enzymatic testing and gene analysis results of 23 pregnant women at high risk of MPS Ⅱ, who underwent prenatal diagnosis in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from February 2013 to December 2020, were analyzed retrospectively.The IDS activity in fetal villi (30 cases) and plasma (28 cases) was detected by artificial substrate fluorescence.The IDS activity in fetal villi (28 cases) and plasma (34 cases) of normal pregnant women was taken as control.Meanwhile, the fetal villi of both pregnant women at high risk of MPS Ⅱ and normal pregnant women were also analyzed by gene testing and for fetal sex identification.Data were compared between groups by the independent samples t test. Results:The normal reference values of the IDS activity in fetal villi and plasma of normal pregnant women were(71.2±23.4) nmol/(mg·4 h) and (611.1±114.5) nmol/(mL·4 h), respectively.Among the 30 cases of high-risk fetal villi, the IDS activity in fetal villi of 8 affected male fetuses was (1.7±0.3) nmol/(mg·4 h), which was significantly lower than that of 11 unaffected male fetuses (83.2±6.3) nmol/(mg·4 h) and that of 9 non-carrier female fetuses (80.0±7.5) nmol/(mg·4 h) ( t=10.8, 8.8; all P<0.01). Meanwhile, the IDS activity was measured in the maternal peripheral plasma of 28 pregnant women at high risk of MPS Ⅱ.Among them, the IDS activity in 8 affected male fetuses was(225.4±20.5) nmol/(mL·4 h), which was significantly lower than that in non-affected male fetuses[(451.0±15.1) nmol/(mL·4 h)] and that in non-carrier female fetuses[(467.7±45.3)nmol/(mL·4 h)]. Eight known pathogenic mutations were found in 30 cases at high risk of MPS Ⅱ of fetal villi, and the mutation types were c. 1048A>C, c.212G>A, c.514C>T, c.257C>T, c.425C>T, and c. 998C>T.Of the 8 cases, 6 affected male fetuses had significantly reduced IDS activities, and the other 2 female carriers had normal IDS enzyme activities. Conclusions:The IDS activity in fetal villi and peripheral plasma of pregnant woman is consistent with the gene analysis results.The IDS activity has an important reference value for the prenatal diagnosis of MPS Ⅱ in the first trimester.When no genetic mutations are found in the probands or the pathogenicity of the new mutation remains unclear, the IDS activity in fetal villi can be detected separately for the prenatal diagnosis of MPS Ⅱ.
