Objective To screen the optimal regimen of Chinese medicine combined with hormones for the treatment of premature ovarian failure(POF)using network meta-analysis and to provide an evidence-based basis for the clinical treatment of POF.Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of Chinese medicine combined with hormones in the treatment of POF were retrieved from thhe domestic and oversea databases of CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,CBM,PubMed,Cochrane,Embase,and Web of Science.The quality of the literature was assessed using the tools for analysis of bias recommended by Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook and by Jadad scale scores.Rstudio and StataSE 15.1 statistical software were used to perform network meta-analysis and graphical presentation of the data.Results A total of 50 RCTs were included,covering 8 intervention methods.The overall risk of bias of the included studies was low,but the quality of the literature was generally low.The results of network meta-analysis showed that,in terms of the effective rate,the intervetion of 7 various Chinese medicines combined with hormone was superior to the conventional treatment(hormone replacement therapy,HRT)in the control group,and Nuangong Qiwei Powder+HRT was superior to the remaining 6 kinds of Chinese medicines combined with HRT;with reference to the values of the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA),the efficiencies of the effective rate of the 8 intervention methods in descending order were Nuangong Qiwei Powder+ HRT(SUCRA=81.2),Zishen Yutai Pills + HRT(SUCRA=80.0),modified Zuogui Pills + HRT(SUCRA= 66.1),Ankun Zhongzi Pills + HRT(SUCRA=49.6),Kuntai Capsules + HRT(SUCRA=45.2),modified Erxian Decoction + HRT(SUCRA=39.5),Liuwei Dihuang Pills + HRT(SUCRA=37.4)and HRT(SUCRA=1.0).In terms of improving serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)levels,modified Zuogui Pills + HRT was superior to the remaining 7 intervention methods;with reference to the values of the SUCRA,the efficiencies of the 8 intervention methods in descending order were modified Zuogui Pills + HRT(SUCRA=97.0),HRT(SUCRA= 77.9),Liuwei Dihuang Pills + HRT(SUCRA=76.6),Kuntai Capsules + HRT(SUCRA=46.5),Nuangong Qiwei Powder+HRT(SUCRA=38.9),Ankun Zhongzi Pills + HRT(SUCRA=29.9),modified Erxian Decoction + HRT(SUCRA=18.1),and Zishen Yutai Pills + HRT(SUCRA=15.1).Conclusion All kinds of Chinese medicines combined with HRT exert stronger effect on improving the primary outcome indicators than HRT alone for the treatment of POF.The intervention with Nuangong Qiwei Powder+HRT exerts the highest probability of the optimal regimen for enhancing the efficiency,and the intervention with Zuogui Pills + HRT exerts the highest probability of the optimal regimen for lowering the serum FSH level.However,due to the low quality of the included studies,more rigorously-designed,large sample-size,and high-quality randomized controlled trials need to be conducted in the future to provide conclusive evidence-based evidence.

Objective lo analyze the difference of peri-coronary tat attenuation index(pr Al)on different grades of hypertension(HT),and to explore the value of pFAI in evaluating the risk of HT patients.Methods Retrospective data on hospitalized patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)examination for chest pain were collected.A total of 415 clini-cally confirmed HT patients were selected as observation group(including 132 patients in grade 1 HT group,137 patients in grade 2 HT group,146 patients in grade 3 HT group),and 187 non-hypertension patients during the same period as control group.The differ-ence of fat attenuation index(FAI)in three main coronary arteries[left anterior descending artery(LAD),left circumflex artery(LCX),right coronary artery(RCA)]was compared,and the correlation between pF AI and HT patients was analyzed.Results RCA-FAI(-78.86 HU±7.66 HU)and LAD-FAI(-80.62 HU±7.50 HU)were higher in HT group than those in control group(-84.46 HU± 8.00 HU,-83.43 HU±7.51 HU,P＜0.05).pFAI value was higher in grade 3 HT group than that in grade 1 HT group and grade 2 HT group(P＜0.05),while there were no differences between grade 1 HT group and grade 2 HT group(P＞0.05).After adjusting the influence of traditional risk factors and coronaryartery disease,RCA-FAI had relatively closer relationship with HT grades(r=0.47,P＜0.001).Conclusion LAD-FAI,RCA-FAI in the HT group are higher than those in control group and RCA-FAI has relatively closer relationship with HT grades,suggesting that RCA-FAI may be an imaging indicator to evaluate the pro-gression of HT and predict the risk of HT.

Objective To investigate the role of miR-27a-3p in sevoflurane-induced neurocognitive dysfunction.Methods Bioinformatics prediction and validation:Predicted the target genes of miR-27a-3p using bioinformatics databases,and verified the interaction between miR-27a-3p and target genes using dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot.Cell experiments:Cells were divided into two groups,the miR-27a-3p interference control(Sevo+NC)group was transfected with miR-27a-3p interference control plasmid,and the miR-27a-3p interference treatment(Sevo+anti-miR-27a-3p)group was transfected with miR-27a-3p interference plasmid.Before transfection,the plasmids were treated with 4％sevoflurane for 6 h.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of tau and phosphorylaed tau(p-tau)in SY5Y cells of each group.Animal experiments:Mice were randomly divided into control group(no treatment),sevoflurane group(treated with 4％sevoflurane only),miR-27a-3p interference control group(Sevo+NC,injected with miR-27a-3p interference control plasmid after 4％sevoflurane treatment)and miR-27a-3p interference treatment group(Sevo+anti-miR-27-3p,injected with miR-27a-3p interference plasmid after 4％sevoflurane treatment).The neurocognitive abilities of mice were tested using the water maze experiment,and the level of tau phosphorylation in the hippocampal tissue of mice was detected by immunofluorescence.Results Bioinformatics prediction and validation:Bioinformatics prediction suggested that presenilin 1(PSEN1)might be a target gene of miR-27 a-3p.Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and Western blot showed that miR-27 a-3p interacted with PSEN1.Cell experiments:The levels of p-tau in Sevo+NC group and Sevo+anti-miR27-3p group were 0.69±0.08 and 0.21±0.05,respectively.Animal experiments:The escape latency times of the control group,sevoflurane group,Sevo+NC group and Sevo+anti-miR-27-3p group were(27.54±3.67),(52.38±6.12),(55.16±5.79)and(38.46±4.78)s,respectively;the results of the novel object exploration index were 0.78±0.11,0.31±0.07,0.33±0.06,and 0.57±0.08,respectively.Immunofluorescence detection showed a significant decrease in p-tau levels in the hippocampal tissue of mice(P＜0.05).Conclusion miR-27 a-3p regulates the p-tau protein by targeting the PSEN1 gene,and interfering with miR-27 a-3p can alleviate sevoflurane-induced neurocognitive dysfunction in mice.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in 16 provinces of China from 2009 to 2023.Methods:The data of this study were collected from the ARI surveillance data from 16 provinces in China from 2009 to 2023, with a total of 28 278 ARI cases included in the study. The clinical specimens from ARI cases were screened for HRSV nucleic acid from 2009 to 2023, and differences in virus detection rates among cases of different age groups, regions, and months were analyzed.Results:A total of 28 278 ARI cases were enrolled from January 2009 to September 2023. The age of the cases ranged from<1 month to 112 years, and the age M ( Q1, Q3) was 3 years (1 year, 9 years). Among them, 3 062 cases were positive for HRSV nucleic acid, with a total detection rate of 10.83%. From 2009 to 2019, the detection rate of HRSV was 9.33%, and the virus was mainly prevalent in winter and spring. During the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the detection rate of HRSV fluctuated between 6.32% and 18.67%. There was no traditional winter epidemic peak of HRSV from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, and an anti-seasonal epidemic of HRSV occurred from April to May 2023. About 87.95% (2 693/3 062) of positive cases were children under 5 years old, and the difference in the detection rate of HRSV among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.001), showing a decreasing trend of HRSV detection rate with the increase of age ( P<0.001). Among them, the HRSV detection rate (25.69%) was highest in children under 6 months. Compared with 2009-2019, the ranking of HRSV detection rates in different age groups changed from high to low between 2020 and 2023, with the age M (Q1, Q3) of HRSV positive cases increasing from 1 year (6 months, 3 years) to 2 years (11 months, 3 years). Conclusion:Through 15 years of continuous HRSV surveillance analysis, children under 5 years old, especially infants under 6 months old, are the main high-risk population for HRSV infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence and patterns of HRSV in China have changed.

The life view of physique-qi-spirit trinity is our ancestors'basic understanding of human life.Premature ovarian failure(POF)is the end stage of ovarian function loss,and it is a major problem that plagues the life and fertility of contemporary women of childbearing age.In the view of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),human beings are an organic unity of the trinity of physique,qi and spirit.The disorders of any of the physique,qi and spirit may directly lead to the occurrence of diseases and affect the function of the other two.In this paper,the pathogenesis of infertility associated with POF is discussed from three aspects based on the view of physique-qi-spirit trinity:kidney essence deficiency and spleen dysfunction leading to abnormal physique,inactivation of shaoyang pivot leading to disordered qi movement,and liver qi stagnation leading to mental derangement.Aimed to restore the normal state of the physique-qi-spirit trinity,the TCM treatment of infertility associated with POF can be achieved by the methods of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen to supplement the physique,activating the pivot to regulate qi,soothing the liver and nourishing the blood to calm the mind.Discussion on the treatment of infertility associated with POF from the perspective of the life view of physique-qi-spirit trinity will deepen the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of infertility associated with POF,and will embody the advantages of TCM for regulating menstruation and promoting gestation.

Objective:To understand the iodine nutritional status of Hohhot residents, and to provide a basis for scientific prevention and control of iodine deficiency disease and reasonable iodine supplementation.Methods:The stratified cluster sampling method was used to conduct a survey on the iodine nutritional status of residents in 9 banners (counties and districts) of Hohhot City in 2022. Each flag (county, district) was divided into 5 sampling areas according to the east, west, south, north and center directions, and 1 school was selected from each area, 40 children aged 8 to 10 years old were selected from each school (balanced in terms of age, half of both sexes), and 100 pregnant women (balanced in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy) were selected from each flag (county, district), and the salt samples of household salt were collected as well as random urine samples for the determination of salt iodine and urine iodine content. In 3 randomly selected banners (counties and districts), 40 children were selected from each banner (county and district) and their thyroid volume was measured using ultrasound.Results:A total of 2 710 salt samples of edible salt were collected, including 32 samples of non-iodized salt, with a median salt iodine of 21.6 mg/kg, an iodized salt coverage rate of 98.7% (2 675/2 710), and a qualified iodized salt consumption rate of 92.8% (2 515/2 710). There are 1 803 salt samples from children's homes, with a median salt iodization of 21.9 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 99.1% (1 786/1 803), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 93.1% (1 678/1 803). Nine hundred and eight salt samples of edible salt were collected from the homes of pregnant women. The median salt iodine was 21.4 mg/kg, the iodized salt coverage rate was 98.0% (890/907), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 92.2% (837/907). The median urinary iodine for children and pregnant women was 198.5 and 169.9 μg/L. The rate of goiter in children was 3.6% (22/602).Conclusion:In 2022, residents of Hohhot are at the appropriate level of iodine, salt iodine coverage, urinary iodine for children and pregnant women, and goiter rate for children are all in line with the standard for elimination of iodine deficiency diseases, and iodine deficiency diseases are in a state of continuous elimination.

Objective To investigate the causes of a cluster of suspected neonatal carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)bloodstream infection(BSI)in the neonatal department of a hospital,and provide references for the effective control of the occurrence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI).Methods Epidemiological in-vestigation on 3 neonates with CRKP BSI in the neonatal department from January 31 to February 6,2023 was per-formed.Specimens from environmental object surfaces were taken for environmental hygiene monitoring,and effec-tive control measures were taken according to the risk factors.Results From January 31 to February 6,2023,a to-tal of 60 neonates were admitted in the neonatal department,including 16 with peripherally inserted central venous catheter(PICC).Three neonates had CRKP BSI,with a incidence of 5.00％.There were 33 hospitalized neonates on the day(February 7)when the cluster of HAI was reported,with a prevalence rate of 9.09％(3/33).CRKP BSI rate in the neonatal department of this hospital from January 31 to February 6,2023 was higher than that in 2022(P＜0.001).The incubators of the 3 neonates with CRKP BSI were in the same ward and adjacent to each other.The first neonate with CRKP BSI(who developed BSI on January 31)underwent PICC maintenance on Feb-ruary 4,and the other 2 neonates with PICC maintenance immediately following the first one also developed CRKP BSI.CRKP were isolated from blood culture of all 3 neonates,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results were consistent.Conclusion The occurrence of the cluster event of neonatal CRKP BSI may be related to the failure of strict implementation of aseptic procedures during PICC maintenance and cross contamination among items.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with primary extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)in the rituximab era.Methods:The continuous data of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with complete case data and first-line treated with rituximab,cyclophosphamide,epirubicin,vincristine,prednisone(R-CHOP)or R-CHOP treatment admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2013 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical and molecular immunological features and prognosis of extranodal DLBCL were analyzed,Logistics regression model was used to analyzed the influencing factors of patients prognosis.Results:A total of 237 patients were enrolled,of which 54.4％(129 cases)were primary extranodal sources of DLBCL,and the most common extranodal sites were as follows:stomach(19.4％),colon(14.7％),tonsils(12.4％),skin/muscle(9.3％),central(7.7％),nasal/nasopharynx(6.2％),bone marrow(5.4％),testes(4.7％).The 3-year PFS and OS of DLBCL patients with extranodal involvement of bone marrow,central,liver,gastrointestinal or pulmonary origin were significantly lower than those of other patients with extranodal DLBCL of non-special site origin,and the difference was statistically significant(PFS:65.2％vs 76.7％,P=0.008;OS:82.6％vs 88.3％,P=0.04).Multivariate analysis showed that the prognostic factors affecting OS included NCCN-IPI score＞3(OR:0.142,95％CI:0.041-0.495,P=0.002),non-germinal center source(OR:2.675,95％CI:1.069-6.694,P=0.036),and DEL patients(OR:0.327,95％CI:0.129-0.830,P=0.019).An NCCN-IPI score＞3 was the only independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS(OR:0.235,95％CI:0.116-0.474,P＜0.001).Conclusion:Patients with primary extranodal source DLBCL are more common in gastrointestinal involvement,and the overall prognosis is worse than that of patients with lymph node origin.NCCN-IPI score is an important independent adverse prognostic factor for predicting overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with primary extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Objective:To investigate the early predictive value of halving time(HT)of BCR-ABLIS for deep molecular response(DMR)in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI).Methods:The continuous data of newly diagnosed CML patients with complete case data and first-line imatinib treatment admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January 2014 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Combined with the clinical characteristics of the patients and the efficacy analysis at each time point,a logistic regression model was used to explore the independent influencing factors of DMR,and combined HT of BCR-ABLIS with BCR-ABLIS level at 3 months to predict DMR of the patients.Results:Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that HT and 3-month BCR-ABLIS levels were independent influencing factors for MR4,MR4.5,and stable MR4.5(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis determined that the best cut-off value of HT was 28 days.Compared with patients with HT＞28 d,patients with HT ≤28 d were more likely to obtain DMR at 2,3,and 5 years,respectively(74.2％vs 27.3％,71.2％vs 22.7％,and 63.6％vs 25.0％,all P＜0.001).The patients were divided into 4 groups according to BCR-ABLIS levels at 3 months and HT.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients in the BCR-ABLIS ≤10％and HT≤28 d group had a higher probability of obtaining cumulative MR4 and MR4.5 than those in the BCR-ABLIS≤10％and HT＞28 d group(P＜0.05);Patients in the BCR-ABLIS＞10％and HT≤28 d group had a higher probability of obtaining cumulative MR4 and MR4.5 than those in the BCR-ABLIS＞10％and HT＞28 d group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:In addition to BCR-ABLIS level,HT of BCR-ABLIS can be used as another important predictor of treatment efficacy in CML patients.The combination of BCR-ABLIS level and HT has a more accurate predictive value for long-term molecular response of CML patients after TKI treatment.
