Objective To investigate changes of laboratory indicators and pathological features of Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN)children after crescent formation,and to explore non-invasive biomarkers for predicting crescent formation.Methods A total of 278 children with HSPN who were hospitalized from January 2018 to July 2023 were selected and divided into the crescent formation group(196 cases)and the non crescent formation group(82 cases)based on their crescent formation status.Patients in the crescent formation group were sub-divided into the cellular crescent formation group(52 cases)and the cellular fibrous crescent formation group(144 cases)based on the type of crescent formation.Laboratory indicators and pathological characteristics were compared between different groups.The correlation between each indicator and the proportion of crescent formation was analyzed.The influencing factors of crescent formation were analyzed by Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted,and the effectiveness of laboratory indicators in predicting crescent formation was evaluated.Results Compared with the non crescent formation group,24-hour urine protein quantification(24 hUP),urine immunoglobulin G/creatinine(UGCR),urine red blood cell count(URBC),neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and triglycerides(TG)were significantly increased in the crescent formation group.There were increased proportion of diffuse mesangial hyperplasia(Mb),renal tubular atrophy or interstitial fibrosis(T1)(P＜0.05).Compared with the cellular crescent group,the proportion of glomerular segmental sclerosis or adhesion(S1)and T1 were increased,and the proportion of crescent formation was higher in the cellular fibrous crescent group.The proportion of capillary endothelial cell proliferation(E1)was decreased in the cellular crescent group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that 24 hUP,UGCR,URBC,NLR,BUN,TG,Mb and T1 were positively correlated with the proportion of crescent formation(all P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated UGCR and T1 were risk factors for crescent formation.The area under the curve(AUC)predicted by UGCR for crescent formation was 0.731(95%CI:0.667-0.795,P＜0.05),with an optimal cutoff value of 5.00 mg/mmol,sensitivity of 0.744 and specificity of 0.610.Conclusion UGCR can be used as a non-invasive biomarker to assist in evaluating crescent formation in children with HSPN.

Objective:To preliminarily develop a fertility motivation scale for infertile women (FMS-IW) and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The FMS-IW was developed according to the theory of self-determination and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and the original item pool was established through clinical psychological counseling practice experience, literature review, consulting clinical psychotherapists, interviewing with infertile women and open-ended questionnaires. The original scale was constructed on item analysis and exploratory factor analysis in 257 infertile women. The formal version of FMS-IW was further adapted by Delphi method and tested in another 392 women to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and reliability test. Furthermore, 56 participants of 392 women were randomly retested with FMS-IW after two weeks.SPSS 25.0 and Amos 24.0 software were used for Spearman analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis.Results:Exploratory factor analysis showed that the FMS-IW was composed of 16 items consisting of two factors: autonomous fertility motivation and controlled fertility motivation. The cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.18%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well ( χ2/ df=3.292, RMSEA=0.077, SRMR=0.055, GFI=0.902, AGFI=0.871, IFI=0.938, CFI=0.938, TLI=0.928). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the FMS-IW was 0.908. The Cronbach's α coefficient for autonomous and controlled fertility motivation was 0.911 and 0.928, respectively. The parity split-half coefficient of the formal version of FMS-IW was 0.870. The test-retest reliability of the formal version of FMS-IW was 0.823. Conclusion:The FMS-IW has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an effective tool to measure fertility motivation in infertile women.

Objective:To probe into the status characteristics and the dynamic change trend of the psychological stress among medical staff at four time points after exposed to blood-borne pathogen.Methods:A longitudinal study was carried out among 78 medical personnel in this study,with 67 of hepatitis B virus,5 of hepatitis C virus,4 of HIV and 2 of treponema pallidum respectively.Perceived stress scale (PSS-4),Post-traumatic stress disorder Checklist-5 (PCL-5),Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were used to assess the psychological status,including perceived stress,post-traumatic stress symptom,anxiety and depression at the four times.Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA) and paired sample t test to explore time effect of the psychological stress reaction in the exposed population.Results:The scores of PSS-4,PCL-5,HADS-A,and HADS-D increased from exposure,and gained highest at one month after exposed,then gradually declined with time (Ps ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that the levels of perceived stress,post-traumatic stress symptom,anxiety,depression may be the highest at one month after exposed.

Objective To understand the dominant pathogens of febrile respiratory syndrome (FRS) patients in Gansu province and to establish the Bayes discriminant function in order to identify the patients infected with the dominant pathogens.Methods FRS patients were collected in various sentinel hospitals of Gansu province from 2009 to 2015 and the dominant pathogens were determined by describing the composition of pathogenic profile.Significant clinical variables were selected by stepwise discriminant analysis to establish the Bayes discriminant function.Results In the detection of pathogens for FRS,both influenza virus and rhinovirus showed higher positive rates than those caused by other viruses (13.79％,8.63％),that accounting for 54.38％,13.73％ of total viral positive patients.Most frequently detected bacteria would include Streptococcus pneumoniae,and haemophilus influenza (44.41％,18.07％) that accounting for 66.21％ and 24.55％ among the bacterial positive patients.The original-validated rate of discriminant function,established by 11 clinical variables,was 73.1％,with the cross-validated rate as 70.6％.Conclusion Influenza virus,Rhinovirus,Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae were the dominant pathogens of FRS in Gansu province.Results from the Bayes discriminant analysis showed both higher accuracy in the classification of dominant pathogens,and applicative value for FRS.

Objective To explore the chronergy of fibrinolysin and its influence on fibrinogen ( FIB ) and thrombus precursor protein (TpP) in treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods The clinical trial adopted the randomized single-blind placebo-controlled design.Totally, 150 patients with ACI (onset time≤12 h) were chosen and randomly divided into experimental group A ( group A receiving treatment of fibrinolysin after 12 h onset of ACI ) , experimental group B ( group B receiving treatment of fibrinolysin after 24 h onset of ACI) and control group ( group C without fibrinolysin treatment) , 50 cases in each group.The patients in experimental group A and B received basic treatment for ACI and fibrinolysin treatment.Patients in group C were given the basic treatment for ACI and placebo.The level of FIB and TpP before and after 7 days treatment, NIHSS scores before and after 14 days treatment, BI scores before and after 90 days treatment, incidence rate of progressive cerebral infarction ( PCI ) , stroke recurrence and mortality rate of the three groups were analyzed to evaluate the clinical effect of fibrinolysin.Hepatic and renal function before and after 7 days treatment, incidence rates of haemorrhage and hypersensitiveness were analyzed to evaluate the security of fibrinolysin. Results The NIHSS score of patients in group A, B and C (4.0±1.6, 6.5±2.2 and 8.0±4.7) was declined significantly after treatment (P<0.05).Group A and B declined more than group C (P<0.05).Group A declined even more than group B (P<0.05).The BI score of patients in group A, B and C after treatment was 68.5±30.6, 55.6±29.2 and 49.7±28.9.The BI score of all groups increased significantly after treatment (P<0.05).Compared with group B and C, group A increased more significantly (P<0.05).The incidence rate of progressive stroke in group A, B and C was 4%, 20% and 30%, respectively.The incidence rate of progressive stroke in group A was lower than that in group B and C (P<0.05).The recurrence rate of stroke after 90 days treatment in group A, B and C was 6.3%, 8.3% and 25.5%, respectively.The recurrence rate of stroke after 1 year treatment in group A, B and C was 10.4%, 12.5% and 31.9%, respectively.The recurrence rates of stroke in group A and B 90 days and 1 year after treatment were significantly lower than those in group C (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mortality between the three groups (P>0.05).The FIB in group A, B and C after treatment was (2.74±0.75) g?L-1,(2.82±0.83) and (3.67±1.35) g?L-1, respectively.The level of FIB in the three groups did not decrease significantly after treatment (P>0.05).However, the level of FIB in group A and B declined significantly as compared with that in group C.The TpP in group A, B and C after treatment was (3.56±1.26) mg?L-1, (3.43±1.22) and (13.21±6.54) mg?L-1, respectively.The level of TpP in group A and group B decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.05). The level of TpP in group A and B declined even more significantly than that in group C.Fibrinolysin did neither obviously injure liver and kidney nor increase the risk of bleeding, and had low hypersensitiveness incidence rate. Conclusion Treatment with fibrinolysin within 24 h after onset of cerebra infarction benefits the patients. However, dosing after 12 h onset of ACI benefits more than dosing after 24 h.Fibrinolysin plays a role of anti-thrombosis primarily by lowering the TpP level, and its influence on fibrinogen is limited.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic criteria, clinical management and prognostic factors of primary central nervous system (CNS) histiocytic sarcoma (HS). Methods An adult patients with primary CNS HS was reported, and literature on the rare entity were reviewed. Results The patient had no previous history of disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (including magnetic resonance spectroscopy) suggested a mass in the frontal lobe with obvious vasogenic edema, which was considered glioma. Surgery was the initial treatment and the tumor was totally removed. The histological findings revealed the HS. The patient received concomitant chemoradiotherapy postoperatively and currently lived without recurrence. Conclusions Primary CNS HS is extremely rare hematopoietic malignant tumor. The pathological feature and comprehensive immunophenotype panel are the useful ways to establish the diagnosis till now. Primary CNS HS should be treated intensively with surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. However, prognosis is disappointed in most of patients. Concomitant chemoradiotherapy might be an alternative treatment.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the relationship between PTSD and emotional regulation strategies of mothers with neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods One hundred and twenty-seven postpartum women with neonate hospitalized in the NICU were selected from a general hospital. All the cases were investigated by PTSD check list-Civilian version (PCL-C) and emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ). Results The incidence of PTSD of postpartum women with neonate in NICU was 13.4%(17/127). The expressive suppression scores in positive PTSD group were (17.76±2.46) points,which were significantly higher than (14.16 ± 5.14) points in negative PTSD group (t=-4.659, P<0.01). Expressive suppression contributed significantly positive correlation to the total and the dimension scores of PCL-C (r=0.187-0.243, P<0.05 or 0.01). Expressive suppression was found to contribute significantly to the explained variance in mothers′ PTSD (P<0.05), whereas no association was found between PTSD and cognitive reappraisal (P>0.05). Conclusions The admission of neonates to the NICU is a stressful event for mothers, which could cause PTSD symptoms. PTSD has a closer relationship with expressive suppression, rather than cognitive reappraisal. Therefore, health workers should instruct mothers with neonates in NICU to regulate emotions by appropriate coping strategies, decreasing the possibility of psychological problems, promoting the mental health of women in the perinatal period.

Objective To investigate the experience in management of the high risk benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients in order to improve the safety of the operation.Methods The high-risk factors of 115 patients with BPH who had been treated with transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) were analyzed.The blood pressure of hypertensive patients should be controlled below 140/90 mm Hg.The patients with myocardial infarction should be in stable condition for more than 6 months.Smoking cessation,oxygen inhalation,and pulmonary function training should be carried out during the perioperative period in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,correct expectoration methods and rational use of antibiotics were also needed to improve the maximum amount of pulmonary ventilation to more than 70％.The blood-glucose of diabetic patients should be controlled below 8 mmol/L by insulin.Catheter was indwelled in patients with chronic obstructive renal insufficiency for more than 2 weeks so that the blood Cr could be below 130 μmol/L.Anticoagulant therapy should stop at least 5 days before surgery.Patients were encouraged to have physical training early after surgery and to have ankle stretch movement when they recovered form anesthesia,and pressure cycle drive therapeutic apparatus were also used to prevent deep venous thrombosis.Results All the patients tolerated TURP safely.Operation time was 30 to 60 min,the weight of the resection prostate tissue was 12 to 37 g,blood loss was 80 to 150 ml,and catheterization time was 3 to 7 days.The overall incidence of complications was 1.7％.There were 2 cases with deep venous thrombosis,who recovered after anticoagulant therapy.There were no pulmonary infection,bleeding,TUR syndrome,and other complications.Conclusion Correct analysis and effective management of the perioperative risk factors in high-risk BPH patients treated with TURP can improve the safety of the operation and reduce the complications.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis,therapy and prognosis of primary ureter transitional cell carcinoma with low stage and grade.Methods Retrospective review of 18 cases surgery to treat the primary ureter carcinoma of G1-2 Ta-2 was carried out.There were 12 males and 6 females with the mean age of 67 years.Of the 18 cases with the size of tumor were from 0.5 to 1.5 cm.13 cases had the tumors on the left and 5 cases on the right.The tumors were located at middle parts of the ureter in 3 cases,and at the lower part in 15 cases.The course of the disease was from 5 days to 3 months.10 cases had gross hematuria and 8 cases renal hydronephrosis were found incidentally by B-ultrasound.B-ultrasound was performed in all cases.15 cases were indicated pyelic separation from 1.0-1.5 cm and ureteral separation from 0.8-1.0 cm.8 cases were indicated the low-echo space-occupying disease of ureter.IVU indicated mild hydronephrosis in 12 cases of 15 cases,of whom 5 cases were demonstrated a filling defect.CT indicated the mass of ureter in 10 cases of 15 cases.Cystoscope were performed in 18 cases,of whom 5 cases were found the tumor in the ureter-bladder cuff.Retrograde pyelogram showed filling defect of the diseased ureter in 10 of 11 cases(2 cases had failure of intubation).4 cases ureteroscopy with biopsy were used and demonstrated the diagnosis.Results 8 cases were treated surgically of radical nephroureterectomy with a bladder cuff excision.7 cases were performed ureteral segmental resection,of which 2 cases anastomosis and 5 cases ureterocystostomy with bladder cuff excision.3 cases tumors were resected by ureteroscopy postoperative pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma.Pathological staging showed Ta(1 case);T1 (8),T2(9),and grading showed G1(8);G2(10).16 cases(88.9％)were followed up form 6-132 months.The overall 5-year survival rate was 87.5％.Of the 25％ patient showed bladder recurrence in post-operation 6-24 months.2 cases died of tumor recurrence and metastasis in post-operation 36-48 months.Conclusions The primary transitional cell carcinoma of ureter was uncommon and has poor prognosis.Ureter carcinoma with lower stage and grade might have better prognosis.Kidney-sparing surgery is a feasible treatment option in patients with lower stage and grade.The long-term follow up is meticulous.

Objective To assess the clinical effect of Batroxobin on acute cerebral infarction. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Batroxobin used for acute cerebral infarction were recalled. The quality of the document were assessed with Jadad scale, and the RevMan 4.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. Results 38 RCTs were recalled. 29 trials were negatively controlled, 6 controlled with Defibrase, and 3 controlled with Urokinase. Batroxobin is more effective than negative controls on neurological function score and fibrinogen (P<0.05). There was no statistics difference between Batroxobin and Urokinase on the neurological function score (P>0.05), as well as incidence of improvement between Batroxobin and Defibrase (P>0.05). Conclusion Batroxobin can effectively improve the neurological function and reduce the fibrinogen for acute cerebral infarction.
