Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations and characteristics of serum adrenal cortex hormone spectrum in patients with adrenocortical hypercortisolism with different pathological types of adrenal adenoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 68 patients with adrenal Cushing's syndrome who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Endocrinology and/or Urology, Peking University First Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022. Among them, 12 patients had obvious eosinophilic changes in pathology(eosinophilic group), and 56 patients had no obvious eosinophilic changes(non-eosinophilic group). Among eosinophilic group, one male and 11 females, age(49.83±9.87) years old, body mass index (BMI)(25.86±3.21) kg/m 2, systolic blood pressure (140.25±20.72)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), diastolic blood pressure(91.00±14.87)mmHg, 7 cases were overt Cushing's syndrome. Among non-eosinophilic group, 14 males and 32 females, age(52.91±10.82) years old, BMI (26.06 ± 3.57) kg/m 2; ystolic blood pressure (142.13±16.71) mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (83.63±11.41) mmHg; 16 cases of overt Cushing's syndrome. There was no statistically significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05).In terms of laboratory tests, 0: 00 cortisol levels in the eosinophilic group and non-eosinophilic groups were 14.95(5.93, 23.2) ng/dl and 6.69(4.07, 11.35) ng/dl ( P=0.044), the cortisol levels after 1mg dexamethasone inhibition test were 20.19(11.29, 26.92) ng/dl and 5.94(2.68, 12.90) ng/dl ( P=0.005), and 8: 00, 16: 00, and 0: 00, ACTH levels were 2.08 (1.02, 2.90) pg/ml and 8.37(2.30, 11.67) pg/ml ( P=0.006), 1.22(1.00, 3.20) pg/ml, and 4.22(1.80, 6.33) pg/ml ( P=0.012), 0.65 (0, 2.63) pg/ml, and 2.76(1.44, 5.57) pg/ml( P=0.023), serum triglyceride were 1.92(1.31, 2.50) mmol/L and 1.31(1.04, 1.80) mmol/L ( P=0.026), and the differences were statistically significant. In terms of target organ damage, there were 6 cases and 10 cases ( P=0.017) in the eosinophilic group and non eosinophilic group with ventricular wall hypertrophy, 1 case and 0 cases( P=0.030) in the aortic dissection group, and 4 cases and 5 cases ( P=0.024) with four or more types of target organ damage, respectively, with statistically significant differences. Two groups of preoperative serum adrenal cortex hormone profiles were detected by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The differences in adrenal cortex hormone profiles and hormone ratios between the two groups were compared. Age, gender, and statistically significant indicators were included in a multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the correlation between each indicator and eosinophilic changes. Results:Adrenal cortical hormone profile of the two groups showed that the serum estrone levels in the eosinophilic group and non-eosinophilic group were 20.27(13.49, 39.81) pg/ml and 12.59(8.08, 21.18) pg/ml ( P=0.034), and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione levels were 692.34(536.19, 1 049.66) pg/ml and 1 157.60(710.78, 1 539.30) pg/ml( P=0.026), with statistically significant differences; There were no statistically significant difference in the expression levels of other hormones ( P>0.05). In terms of hormone ratio, the estradiol/testosterone ratios in the eosinophilic and non eosinophilic groups were 0.14(0.08, 0.62) and 0.04(0.01, 0.09)( P=0.008), the estrone/androstenedione ratios were 0.06(0.05, 0.12) and 0.04(0.03, 0.06)( P=0.007), the 11-hydroxyandrostenedione/androstenedione ratios were 2.26(1.30, 2.69) and 4.03(2.48, 5.25)( P=0.008), the estriol/estrone ratios were 0.10(0.03, 0.29) and 0.25(0.12, 0.51)( P=0.016), the estriol/estradiol were 0.22(0.03, 0.30) and 0.33(0.12, 0.73)( P=0.032), and the differences were statistically significant. The results of multivariate analysis showed that estrone ( OR=1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07, P=0.009) and estrone/androstenedione ( OR=25 008 670.29, 95% CI 8.45-74 015 852 572 024.10, P=0.025) were independently associated with eosinophilic pathology. Conclusions:Adrenocortical hypercortisolism patients with eosinophilic pathology have higher levels of serum cortisol secretion, more pronounced inhibition of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, more significant metabolic disorders and target organ damage, and higher production of estrone.

ObjectiveTo investigate the monitoring status and epidemiological characteristics of foodborne disease pathogens in Baoshan District, Shanghai so as to improve early detection and warning capabilities of foodborne diseases outbreaks, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of foodborne diseases. MethodsAnal swabs or fecal samples from food-borne diarrhea cases were collected from two sentinel surveillance medical institutions in Baoshan District of Shanghai during 2019 and 2021. Salmonella, diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, Shigella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, campylobacter and norovirus were tested in anal swabs and fecal samples, and all the testing results were statistically analyzed. ResultsA total of 1 693 cases were reported, among which 1 693 anal swabs and fecal samples were collected, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.04∶1. The largest number of cases was from the age group of 45-64 years (504 cases). The highest number of reported cases was among retirees (762 cases). The high-incidence period of the diseases was in summer and autumn, with the highest number of cases associated with meat and meat products (566 cases). The primary location of exposure was at home (1 260 cases). The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria and virus was 21.32%, among which campylobacter accounted for the largest proportion (10.28%). The peak incidence rate was from May to September. The detection rate of norovirus was 13.29%, with a higher incidence in winter and spring. The predominant serotype of Salmonella was Salmonella enteritidis (41.82%), and the predominant local serotype of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli was EAEC (50.52%). Campylobacter was mainly represented by jejuni (81.61%), and the predominant type of norovirus was GⅡ (60.87%). ConclusionCampylobacter has the highest proportion among foodborne pathogens causing foodborne diseases in Baoshan District, followed by diarrheogenic Escherichia coli. And norovirus GⅡ type is the predominant virus. Appropriate prevention and control measures should be taken based on the characteristics of each pathogen's epidemiology.

Objective:To analyze the costs and effectiveness of five common screening modes and genetic screening for thalassemia in China in order to find the optimal way and provide evidence for the implementation of thalassemia prevention and control projects in Hunan Province.Methods:From June 2020 to April 2021, 12 971 couples from 14 cities and autonomous prefectures in Hunan Province were selected as the study population. The diagnosis of thalassemia was based on the results of genetic testing. Results of routine blood test and hemoglobin electrophoresis were collected and analyzed. The efficacy of five screening modes, at the cut-off value of <80 fl or 82 fl for the mean corpuscular volume (MCV), was analyzed by positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Jorden index and cost-effectiveness ratio. Sensitivity analysis was used to assess the feasibility of genetic screening at different costs after fixing the costs of routine blood and hemoglobin electrophoresis. The five thalassemia screening models are as follows: Mode 1: The woman had a blood routine test first. If the result was positive, the spouse required a blood routine test. If both results were positive, a thalassemia gene test should be offered to the couple. Mode 2: Both husband and wife were screened by blood routine and hemoglobin electrophoresis. If one or both of them were positive, both would be tested for thalassemia gene. Mode 3: The couple received blood routine tests initially. If either was positive, both should receive hemoglobin electrophoresis testing. If either was positive, both parties will conduct thalassemia gene testing. Mode 4: The woman was screened by blood routine and hemoglobin electrophoresis. If any one of them was positive, the woman would be tested for thalassemia gene. If the gene test result was positive, the spouse should receive thalassemia gene. Mode 5: Both spouses conducted a blood routine test. If either was positive, both would conduct hemoglobin electrophoresis test. If both were positive, both spouses should receive thalassemia gene testing. Gene testing mode: The woman would be tested for thalassemia, and her spouse would have thalassemia test too if her result was positive.Results:When using MCV<80 fl as the cut-off for diagnosing thalassemia, the Youden indices of the five prenatal screening modes in Hunan Province were 0.551, 0.639, 0.898, 0.555 and 0.356, while when using MCV<82 fl as the cut-off, the Youden indices were 0.549, 0.629, 0.851, 0.548 and 0.356. When the MCV cut-off value was <80 fl, the missed diagnosis rates of the five screening modes were 44.44%, 0.00, 0.00, 18.52% and 62.96%, and the cost-effectiveness ratios were 21 709, 250 939, 76 870, 138 463 and 92 860 yuan (RMB)/couple, respectively. When the price of genetic testing was lower than 55 yuan (RMB), the cost-effectiveness ratio of genetic screening was lower than that of Mode 3.Conclusions:MCV<80 fl can be considered as the positive criteria in blood routine screening for thalassemia in Hunan Province, and the cost-effectiveness ratio of Mode 3 (the couple received blood routine tests initially. If either was positive, both should receive hemoglobin electrophoresis testing. If either was positive, both parties will conduct thalassemia gene testing) is the best. Genetic screening has certain advantages with the decreasing price.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Objective:To explore the application effect of modified direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) as a formative assessment tool in clinical skills training of professional graduate students.Methods:A total of 130 professional graduate students of Batch 2019 were selected as the experimental group, and 127 graduate students of Batch 2018 were selected as the control group. Two groups of students received clinical general skills training after enrollment, the control group adopted the traditional skills teaching method, and the experimental group added DOPS as formative assessment on the basis of traditional teaching. The teaching effect of DOPS was evaluated by means of scores analysis and student self-assessment. SPSS 23.0 was used for t-test. Results:The score of the experimental group (84.35±3.41) was higher than that of the control group (77.58±2.68), which showed a statistically significant difference ( t=2.63, P<0.05). The scores of "skill operation ability" and "communication ability" were the lowest single indexes in the assessment of DOPS. The results of self-assessment showed that the scores of autonomous learning ability, clinical thinking ability, clinical practice ability and professional accomplishment of students in the experimental group were all higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Modified DOPS is helpful to improve clinical core ability, which is worth promoting for application.

Objective:To observe the dynamic changes of serum RANTES during the treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues combined with pegylated interferon alpha (peginterferon-α), and further analyze the predictive effect of RANTES on HBsAg clearance in patients with chronic hepatitis B.Methods:98 cases of chronic hepatitis B with quantitative HBsAg < 3 000 IU/ml and HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml after≥1 year NAs treatment were enrolled. Among them, 26 cases continued to receive NAs monotherapy, 72 cases received NAs combined with pegylated interferon alpha therapy. The changes in RANTES during treatment were observed. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the early changes of RANTES to predict the HBsAg clearance during 48 weeks.Results:During 48 weeks, 15 cases (20.83%) had achieved HBsAg clearance in combination group, while no patient had achieved HBsAg clearance in NAs group. The overall serum RANTES level had decreased from baseline in NAs and combination group. At week 48, in the combination group, the serum RANTES level was decreased more significantly in patients with HBsAg clearance than patients without. Further analysis showed that, in combination group, HBsAg clearance rate of patients with serum RANTES decreased at week 12 and 24 was higher than patients with elevated (29.17% vs. 4.17%, P = 0.014; 28.00% vs. 4.55%, P = 0.052), and quantitative HBsAg reduction was larger significantly [(1.49 ± 1.26) log 10IU/ml vs. (0.73 ± 0.81) log 10IU/ml, P = 0.017; (1.54 ± 1.27) log 10IU/ml vs. (0.57 ± 0.56) log 10IU/ml, P = 0.004]. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the baseline quantitative HBsAg and the reduction in quantitative HBsAg and serum RANTES during the early period were predictors of HBsAg clearance after 48-week combination therapy. Furthermore, the combination of baseline quantitative HBsAg and 12 - or 24-week reduction of serum RANTES were better predictors of HBsAg clearance than that of baseline quantitative HBsAg combined with HBsAg decrease at week 12 or 24. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the former was 0.925 and 0.939, while that of the latter was 0.909 and 0.929, respectively. Conclusion:Early reduction of serum RANTES at week 12 and 24 can predict HBsAg loss in CHB patients receiving addition of peginterferon-α to ongoing NAs Therapy, so serum RANTES could be one of the key immunological markers for predicting HBsAg clearance.
