Objective: To evaluate the performance of four simplified screening methods of elevated blood pressure commonly used among children and adolescents according to Chinese guidelines for prevention and treatment of hypertension (revised in 2018), so as to provide a reference for the early detection of the elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents. Methods: Stratified cluster random sampling method was used to monitor the physical fitness of 5 211 children and adolescents in a city of Shanxi Province from October to November 2021. Chinese guidelines for prevention and treatment of hypertension was considered as gold standard, and sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) and Kappa value were calculated to evaluate the screening effectiveness of formula method, height specific method, age group specific method, sex and age specific method for screening elevated blood pressure. Results: The detection rates of elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents screened by gold standard, formula method, height specific method,age group specific method, sex and age specific method were 21.9%, 24.0%, 21.1%, 24.5% and 20.2%, respectively. There was no significant difference between prevalence of elevated blood pressure screened by formula method, sex and age specific method and gold standard( χ 2=1.21, 1.41, P >0.05), whereas height specific method and age group specific method had significant differences with gold standard ( χ 2=20.39, 67.09, P <0.05). AUC was the largest for height specific method [0.94(95% CI =0.93-0.95)], and the smallest for age group specific method [0.87(95% CI = 0.86 -0.88)]. The Kappa values of height specific method (0.89) and sex and age specific method (0.89) were both greater than 0.85 , which were more consistent with the screening effectiveness of gold standard. When comparing by sex, age and body mass index (BMI), the screening effectivenesses were consistent with the overall in boys, 6-11 years and normal body weight groups, while the screening effectivenesses were different in girls, 12-17 years, overweight and obese groups. The AUC (0.87), Kappa value (0.71) and sensitivity (82.33%) of age group specific method were the lowest and the screening effectiveness was the worst. Conclusion Height specific method is more effective and can be used for early identification and self detection of blood pressure abnormalities among children and adolescents.

ObjectiveSleep-related painful erections （SRPE） is a rare sleep disorder characterized by repeated awakening due to painful interruptions of penile erections during nighttime sleep， and its etiology is currently unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of potential risk factors on the incidence of SRPE. MethodsInformation was collected through questionnaires administered to patients who presented at the urology department and suffered from SRPE or did not suffer from SRPE. A total of 290 participants completed the study， including 145 controls and 145 cases. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of age， occupation， sleep initiation time per night， frequency of sexual intercourse per week， psychological status， erectile dysfunction， chronic prostatitis， prostate enlargement， lumbar spine disease， central nervous system disease， hypertension， diabetes and family history on the onset of SRPE. ResultsSingle-factor logistic regression analysis found that a history of chronic prostatitis， intellectual labor occupation， central nervous system disease， late sleep onset， frequency of sexual activity， and anxiety status might be related to the onset of SRPE. After incorporating these factors into a multivariate regression analysis model， it was found that having sexual activity ≥2 times/week （OR 95%CI = 0.326（0.179，0.592） and late sleep onset （after 24：00） （OR 95%CI = 0.494（0.265，0.918）might be protective factors for SRPE， while a history of chronic prostatitis（OR 95%CI = 3.779（2.082，6.859） might be a risk factor for SRPE. However， there was no significant statistical difference in the impact of central nervous system diseases and occupation on multivariate analysis. ConclusionChronic prostatitis and anxiety status may be independent risk factors for SRPE； having sexual activity ≥2 times/week and delaying sleep time appropriately may be independent protective factors.

Objective:To investigate the genomic manifestation and pathogenesis of osteosarcoma with different relapse pattens, which were respectively initially presented with bone metastasis or pulmonary metastasis.Methods:From May 1, 2021 to October 1, 2021, 38 fresh tumor specimens and some paraffin-embedded specimens of high-grade osteosarcoma were collected in Peking University People's Hospital, including 29 males and 9 females, aged 19.6±2.2 years (range, 6-61 years). Among the 38 cases, 12 cases had initial bone metastasis (group A) and 26 cases had initial lung metastasis (group B), of which 15 cases (40%, 15/38) had paired specimens of primary and metastatic lesions. Based on Illumina NovaSeq 6000, we analyzed whole-exome sequencing (WES) as well as transcriptome for osteosarcoma with paired samples in different relapse patterns. During all their treatment courses, we also collected their paired samples to reveal these tumors' evolution. We sought to redefine disease subclassifications for osteosarcoma based on genetic alterations and correlate these genetic profiles with clinical treatment courses to elucidate potential evolving cladograms.Results:We found that osteosarcoma in group A mainly carried single-nucleotide variations (83%, 10/12), displaying higher tumor mutation burden [4.9 (2.8, 12.0) & 2.4 (1.4, 4.5), P=0.010] and neoantigen load [743.0 (316.5, 1,034.5) & 128.5 (49.0, 200.5), P=0.003], while those in group B mainly exhibit structural variants (58%, 15/26). The mutation spectrum showed that there was a significant difference in age-related gene imprinting 1 between the bone metastasis group and the lung metastasis group ( P=0.005). Samples were randomly selected from group A (3 patients) to investigate immunologic landscape by multiplex immunohistochemistry, from which we noticed tertiary lymphatic structure from one patient from group A. High conservation of reported genetic sequencing over time was found in their evolving cladograms. Conclusion:Osteosarcoma with mainly single-nucleotide variations other than structural variants might exhibit biological behavior predisposing toward bone metastases with older in age as well as better immunogenicity in tumor microenvironment.

Objective:To construct the risk prediction model of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and verify its effectiveness based on deep learning and back propagation algorithm neural network (BP neural network).Methods:Based on the relevant data of 1 326 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the team's previous clinical study, the acute exacerbation, and its risk factors during the stable period and 6 months of follow-up were recorded and analyzed. Combined with previous clinical research data and expert questionnaire results, the independent risk factors of AECOPD after screening and optimization by multivariate Logistic regression including gender, body mass index (BMI) classification, number of acute exacerbation, duration of acute exacerbation and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were used to build the BP neural network by Python 3.6 programming language and Tensorflow 1.12 deep learning framework. The patients were randomly selected according to the ratio of 4∶1 to generate the training group and the test group, of which, the training group had 1 061 sample data while the test group had 265 pieces of sample data. The training group was used to establish the prediction model of neural network, and the test group was used for back-substitution test. When using the training group data to construct the neural network model, the training group was randomly divided into training set and verification set according to the ratio of 4∶1. There were 849 training samples in the training set and 212 verification samples in the verification set. The optimal model was screened by adjusting the parameters of the neural network and combining the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), and the sample data of the test group was substituted into the model for verification.Results:The independent risk factors including gender, BMI classification, number of acute exacerbation, duration of acute exacerbation and FEV1 were collected from the team's previous clinical research, and the AECOPD risk prediction model was constructed based on deep learning and BP neural network. After 10 000 training sessions, the accuracy of the AECOPD risk prediction model in the validation set of the training group was 83.09%. When the number of training times reached 8 000, the accuracy basically tended to be stable and the prediction ability reached the upper limit. The AECOPD risk prediction model trained for 10 000 times was used to predict the risk of the validation set data, and the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis showed that the AUC was 0.803. When using this model to predict the risk of the data of the test group, the accuracy rate was 81.69%.Conclusion:The risk prediction model based on deep learning and BP neural network has a medium level of prediction efficiency for acute exacerbation within 6 months in COPD patients, which can evaluate the risk of AECOPD and assist the clinic in making accurate treatment decisions.

Objective:To explore the effect of proactive risk prevention nursing procedure in patients undergoing digestive endoscopy.Methods:Using convenience sampling method, patients who underwent digestive endoscopy in Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from August 2017 to August 2018 were selected as the control group ( n=75) . Patients who underwent digestive endoscopy in Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from March 2019 to March 2020 were selected as the observation group ( n=75) . The patients in the control group received the routine nursing, and the patients in the observation group were treated the proactive risk prevention nursing procedure. The adverse reactions and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared. Results:The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the nursing satisfaction was higher than that in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The proactive risk prevention nursing procedure can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in patients undergoing digestive endoscopy and improve nursing satisfaction.

Objective:To establish a risk prediction model for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) using regression analysis and verify the model.Methods:The risk factors and acute exacerbation of 1 326 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who entered the stable phase and followed up for 6 months in the four completed multi-center large-sample randomized controlled trials were retrospectively analyzed. Using the conversion-random number generator, about 80% of the 1 326 cases were randomly selected as the model group ( n = 1 074), and about 20% were the verification group ( n = 252). The data from the model group were selected, and Logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors for AECOPD, and an AECOPD risk prediction model was established; the model group and validation group data were substituted into the model, respectively, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to verify the effectiveness of the risk prediction model in predicting AECOPD. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in general information (gender, smoking status, comorbidities, education level, etc.), body mass index (BMI) classification, lung function [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), etc.], disease status (the number and duration of acute exacerbation in the past year, duration of disease, etc.), quality of life scale [COPD assessment test (CAT), etc.] and clinical symptoms (cough, chest tightness, etc.) between the model group and the validation group. It showed that the two sets of data had good homogeneity, and the cases in the validation group could be used to verify the effectiveness of the risk prediction model established through the model group data to predict AECOPD. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.679, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.221-2.308, P = 0.001], BMI classification ( OR = 0.576, 95% CI was 0.331-1.000, P = 0.050), FEV1 ( OR = 0.551, 95% CI was 0.352-0.863, P = 0.009), number of acute exacerbation ( OR = 1.344, 95% CI was 1.245-1.451, P = 0.000) and duration of acute exacerbation ( OR = 1.018, 95% CI was 1.002-1.034, P = 0.024) were independent risk factors for AECOPD. A risk prediction model for AECOPD was constructed based on the results of regression analysis: probability of acute exacerbation ( P) = 1/(1+ e- x), x = -3.274 + 0.518×gender-0.552×BMI classification + 0.296×number of acute exacerbation + 0.018×duration of acute exacerbation-0.596×FEV1. The ROC curve analysis verified that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of the model group was 0.740, the AUC of the verification group was 0.688; the maximum Youden index of the model was 0.371, the corresponding best cut-off value of prediction probability was 0.197, the sensitivity was 80.1%, and the specificity was 57.0%. Conclusion:The AECOPD risk prediction model based on the regression analysis method had a moderate predictive power for the acute exacerbation risk of COPD patients, and could assist clinical diagnosis and treatment decision in a certain degree.

Objective:To analyze and compare the efficacy of robotic, laparoscopic and open dorsal mesh rectopexy in the treatment of severe rectal prolapse.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. Patients who had a full-thickness rectum pulled out of the anus before surgery and the length was greater than 8 cm, and underwent transabdominal dorsal mesh rectopexy were enrolled in the study. Those who had urinary or sexual dysfunction before surgery, could not perform sexual function scores due to lack of a fixed sexual partner or sexual activity after surgery, underwent laparotomy again during the perioperative period, were transferred to laparotomy during robotic or laparoscopic surgery, or had no complete information, were excluded. A total of 61 patients with severe rectal prolapse in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2014 to 2018 were enrolled and divided into robotic group (20 cases), laparoscopic group (20 cases) and open group (21 cases) according to the operative procedure based on patients' will. Perioperative parameters were compared among the 3 groups. The International Prostatic Symptoms Score Scale (IPSS, higher score indicates more severe urinary dysfunction), the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF-15, lower score indicates more severe male sexual dysfunction) and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-19, lower score indicates more severe female sexual dysfunction) were used to evaluate and compare the urinary and sexual function before and after operation.Results:There were no significant differences in baseline data among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). In the robotic, laparoscopic and open groups respectively, the operative time was (176.3±13.8) minutes, (160.2±12.1) minutes and (134.2±12.1) minutes; intraoperative blood loss was (58.5±18.9) ml, (67.9±15.7) ml and (114.2±8.4) ml; the first time to ambulation was (19.9±6.8) hours, (24.0±8.9) hours and (37.7±11.4) hours; the first time to gas passage was (31.8±6.8) hours, (35.7±8.9) hours and (49.2±11.2) hours; the hospitalization time was (11.0±1.4) days, (11.4±1.4) days and (13.3±2.1) days; whose differences among 3 groups were all significant (all P<0.001). While no significant differences in morbidity of complication and recurrence among 3 groups were observed (all P>0.05). In the robotic, laparoscopic and open groups respectively, the preoperative IPSS score was (4.2±1.7), (4.4±1.3), and (4.7±1.8); the IPSS score at postoperative 3-month was (8.5±2.5), (9.9±1.7), and (12.2±3.1); IPSS score at postoperative 12-month was (4.3±1.6), (5.8±1.3), and (6.3±1.5), respectively. Compared to preoperative score, postoperative IPSS score increased obviously, then decreased gradually ( P<0.001). Preoperative male IIEE score was (22.8±1.8), (22.1±2.1), and (22.6±1.5). In the robotic, laparoscopic and open groups respectively, male IIEE score at postoperative 6-month was (19.6±2.1), (17.1±2.1), and (15.0±2.1); male IIEE score at postoperative 12-month was (22.4±1.6), (19.9±1.5), (17.9±1.8), respectively. Preoperative female FSFI score was (26.4±3.4), (26.6±3.2), and (26.6±3.0); female FSFI score at postoperative 6-month was (21.5±3.3), (18.9±2.9), (17.0±2.6); female FSFI score at postoperative 12-month was (26.1±2.7), (22.7±3.2), and (21.2±2.3), respectively. Postoperative male IIEE score and female FSFI score decreased significantly and then increased gradually with time, whose differences were all significant (all P<0.05). Postoperative IPSS, IIEE, and FSFI scores in the robotic group were superior to those in the laparoscopic and open groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Robotic surgery is safe and effective in the treatment of severe rectal prolapse, and is more advantageous in preserving urinary function and sexual function.

Objective: To evaluate whether clinical imaging findings of sarcomas after preoperative chemotherapy correlate with tumor responses by pathological evaluation using the rate of necrosis, so as to develop reliable and quantitative evaluation of clinical re-sponse. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 190 patients with high-grade sarcomas (mainly osteosarcomas and Ewing's sarcomas) that originated from the bone and who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy from June 1, 2014 to March 1, 2017 at Peking University People's Hospital. Finally, 157 lesions were evaluated by clinical imaging, including X-ray, computed tomogra-phy, magnetic resonance imaging, and bone scans or PET/CT. All patients underwent surgery at our center and pathological evaluation by tumor necrosis rates, which were graded by Huvos'classification, where gradeⅠis 0 to 49%, gradeⅡis 50% to 89%, gradeⅢis 90% to 99%, and gradeⅣis 100% necrosis. Statistical diversity analysis was performed by different pathological groups and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. ROC curves were generated to determine the dividing clinical parameters (cut-off values) to dis-tinguish different pathological groups. Results: The cut-off values of the rate change in maximum diameters of tumors located in the extremities were 86%, 50.7%, and 0.02% for Huvos'Ⅳ,Ⅲ,Ⅱ, andⅠgroups, respectively. The differentiation was not obvious using bone scans to distinguish different pathological responses. The cut-off value for SUVmax for Huvos'Ⅲ,Ⅱ, andⅠgroups were 60.7% and 31.4%, respectively. We did not identify any valuable clinical parameters to evaluate the lesion restricted inside the bone. For sar-comas that originated from the axial skeleton, because of the small size of the sample, the differentiation was not so obvious. Conclu-sions: This study clearly defined the measuring methods for sarcomas primarily originating from the bone and attempted to determine meaningful cut-off values for multiple pathological response groups. A prospective multicenter trial is warranted to expand the sample size to make this clinical evaluation more precise and practical.

Objective To study the expression and significance of Glypican-3 in Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) complicated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The data of 46 patients with BCS complicated with HCC (the BCS + HCC group) treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2007 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.Another 48 patients with HBV-related HCC (the HBV + HCC group) and 43 patients with hepatic cyst (the hepatic cyst group) were randomly selected as the control groups during the same time period.The differencesin positive rates of Glypican-3 in the liver tissues among the three groups were compared.The BCS + HCC group was further divided into the Glypican-3 positive and Glypican-3 negative subgroups according to the expression of Glypican-3.The differences in gender,age,AFP,HbsAg,Child-Pugh classification,tumor number,extrahepatic metastasis,vascular invasion,Edmondson-Steiner grading and BCLC staging between the two subgroups were compared.The survival time of the two subgroups was compared using the Kaplan-Meier method.Results The expression rates of Glypican-3 in the BCS + HCC group,HBV + HCC group and Hepatic Cyst group were 76.1％,70.8％ and 0％,respectively.The levels of Glypican-3 in the BCS + HCC group and the HCC group were significantly higher than that in the hepatic cyst group.The differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).No statistically significant difference was detected between the BCS + HCC group and the HBV + HCC group (P ＞ 0.05).In the group of patients with BCS + HCC,there was no significant difference in gender,age,AFP,HbsAg,Child-Pugh classification,tumor number and extrahepatic metastasis between the Glypican-3 positive and negative subgroups (P ＞0.05).However,vascular invasion,Edmondson-Steiner grading and BCLC staging in the Glypican-3 positive subgroup were significantly higher than those in the Glypican-3 negative group,(P ＜ 0.05).The 1-year,3-year and 5-year survival rates were 77.1％,51.0％ and 22.8％ in the Glypican-3 positive subgroup,compared with 90.9％,63.6％ and 45.5％ in the Glypican-3 negative subgroup,respectively.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Glypican-3 has a stable expression in patients with BCS complicated with HCC,and it is closely related to malignancy of the tumor and prognosis of the patients.
