Objective : To investigate the prevalence of comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and osteoporosis (OP) and its influencing factors among residents aged 40 years and older in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide insights into prevention of comorbid COPD and OP. Methods: Permanent residents aged 40 years and older were sampled using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method in Zhangjiagang City in 2019, and their pulmonary functions and bone mineral density were measured. The prevalence of comorbid COPD with OP was estimated. The demographic features, smoking, diet, exercises and physical examinations were collected, and factors affecting the prevalence of comorbid COPD with OP were identified using a logistic regression model. Results: Totally 3 140 subjects were enrolled, including 1 315 men (41.88%) and 1 825 women (58.12%), and a mean age of (62.89±9.13) years. A total of 137 subjects were detected with comorbid COPD and OP, with prevalence of 4.36%. The patients with COPD alone included 19 cases with mild, 133 cases with moderate, 87 cases with severe and 26 cases with very severe COPD, and the patients with comorbid COPD and OP included 10 cases with mild, 56 cases with moderate, 56 cases with severe and 15 cases with very severe COPD. The grade of pulmonary functions was higher in patients with comorbid COPD and OP than in patients with COPD alone (Z=-12.304, P<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified ages of 65 years and older (OR=2.703, 95%CI: 1.862-3.923), women (OR=2.897, 95%CI: 1.915-4.384) and physical labor (OR=1.540, 95%CI: 1.083-2.189) as factors affecting the development of comorbid COPD and OP. Conclusion The prevalence of comorbid COPD and OP was 4.36% among residents at ages of 40 years and older in Zhangjiagang City, and moderate and severe degree was the predominant grade of pulmonary functions. The elderly, women and physical labors are at a high risk of developing comorbid COPD and OP.

The construction of wound repair discipline in China is still at the initial stage of exploration, and there is no systematic and mature experiences to learn from.

The authors introduce the experiences in construction of the discipline of wound repair in Zibo city, in order to provide some references for the grass-roots counterparts.

Descriptive epidemiological methods were adopted to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of scarlet fever in Hubei Province from 2009 to 2018. During this study, the epidemiological data was obtained from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System. The results showed that there were 7 329 cases of scarlet fever reported in Hubei Province from 2009 to 2018 and the annual average incidence was 1.25 per 10 000. The number of cases was increased by years, and in 2018 it was the highest peak during these ten years and up to 1 758 which was account for 24% in these ten years, and the incidence was 2.98 per 10 000. The number of reported cases of male and female was 4 473 and 2 856, respectively, and both of the incidence rates were on the rise. The reported cases were distributed in 0-60 year-old group, mainly in the <15-year-old group (98.4%, 7 214/7 329). The season with the highest incidence rates were summer and winter. There were cases in all cities and prefectures, and the number of cases were the highest in Wuhan ( n=2 105), Yichang ( n=1 390), Jingzhou ( n=954) and Enshi ( n=1 090). Hence, it was very necessary to be on guard for the outbreak of scarlet fever and strengthen the surveillance in summer and winter for the people who were younger than 15 years old, especially in Wuhan, Yichang, Jingzhou and Enshi.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of the reserve-flow anterolateral thigh perforator flap based on aesthetics concept to repair soft tissue defect around the knee joint. Methods: From June 2016 to April 2017, 10 patients with skin and soft tissue defects around the knee joint were admitted to Mingzhou Hospital of Zhejiang University. The area of the soft tissue defects around the ankle were ranged from 5.0 cm × 3.0 cm to 11.0 cm × 7.5 cm after debridement. The anterolateral thigh perforator flaps were designed on the ipsilateral lateral thigh, according to the results of preoperative perforator detection. The reserve-flow anterolateral thigh perforator flaps based on aesthetic concept were used to repair the wound through the subcutaneous tunnel. The flaps were 5.5 cm × 3.5 cm to 12.0 cm × 8.0 cm in size. The donor sites were directly closed. Results: The flaps of 9 patients completely survived, however, epidermal necrosis occurred to 1 patient, at the distal end of the flap, about 1 cm × 1 cm in size. It completely healed after dressing change for 1 week. The follow up time was from 8 to 15 months (mean 12 months). The flaps were satisfactory in appearance, good in the elasticity, nearly normal in color, and had protective sensation. The two-point discrimination perception ranged from 9 to 13 mm(mean 10 mm). The donor and recipient sites only remained linear scars, with no depression deformity. The lower limb functions were normal. Conclusions The reverse-flow anterolateral thigh flap based on aesthetic concept, is an alternative method to repair the soft tissue defect around the knee joint, and protect the donor site to the maximum extent.

Inhibitory GABAergic interneurons are fundamental elements of cortical circuits and play critical roles in shaping network activity. Dysfunction of interneurons can lead to various brain disorders, including epilepsy, schizophrenia, and anxiety. Based on the electrophysiological properties, cell morphology, and molecular identity, interneurons could be classified into various subgroups. In this study, we investigated the density and laminar distribution of different interneuron types and the co-expression of molecular markers in epileptic human cortex. We found that parvalbumin (PV) and somatostatin (SST) neurons were distributed in all cortical layers except layer I, while tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) were abundant in the deep layers and white matter. Cholecystokinin (CCK) neurons showed a high density in layers IV and VI. Neurons with these markers constituted ~7.2% (PV), 2.6% (SST), 0.5% (TH), 0.5% (NPY), and 4.4% (CCK) of the gray-matter neuron population. Double- and triple-labeling revealed that NPY neurons were also SST-immunoreactive (97.7%), and TH neurons were more likely to express SST (34.2%) than PV (14.6%). A subpopulation of CCK neurons (28.0%) also expressed PV, but none contained SST. Together, these results revealed the density and distribution patterns of different interneuron populations and the overlap between molecular markers in epileptic human cortex.
