Objective To study the levels of serum Periostin and interleukin(I1-)-18 in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD),and to analyze their correlation with the severity of the disease and their predictive value for BPD.Methods A total of 62 preterm infants with BPD diagnosed and treated in the hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively selected as the BPD group,and 80 preterm in-fants without BPD during the same period were selected as the non-BPD group.According to the severity of BPD,the infants with BPD were divided into mild subgroup(22 cases),moderate subgroup(24 cases)and se-vere subgroup(16 cases).The serum levels of Periostin and IL-18 were detected by enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the clinical parameters.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of BPD,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of each indicator for BPD.Results Compared with the non-BPD group,the BPD group had a significantly higher proportion of infants with pulmonary surfactant(PS)use,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,apnea,patent ductus arteriosus,and serum levels of Periostin and IL-18,as well as a significantly longer duration of mechanical ventilation,noninvasive respiratory support,and length of hospital stay.The lung function parameters[tidal volume per kilogram(VT/kg),ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory flow to time(TPTEF/TE),ratio of volume to peak tidal expiratory flow to volume(VPEF/VE),expiratory flow at 50％tidal volume(50％TEF),expiratory flow at 75％tidal volume(75％TEF)]and 1,5 min Apgar score of BPD group were lower than that of non-BPD group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The serum levels of Periostin and IL-18 in mild subgroup,moderate subgroup and severe subgroup were increased in turn.The levels of serum Periostin and IL-18 were negatively correlated with pulmonary function indexes(VT/kg,50％TEF,75％TEF,TPTEF/TE,VPEF/VE,P＜0.05).Serum Periostin,IL-18 and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome were independent risk factors for BPD(P＜0.05),and PS was a protective factor(P＜0.05).Serum Periostin,IL-18 and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome were independent risk factors for the severity of BPD(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(95％CI)of serum Periostin and IL-18 alone and in combination for predicting BPD were 0.841(0.814-0.899),0.863(0.820-0.897),0.922(0.878-0.949),respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of combined prediction were 0.902 and 0.825,respectively.The area under the curve of the combination of the two indica-tors for predicting BPD was greater than that of each index alone,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(Z=5.357,4.894,P＜0.001).Conclusion The levels of serum Periostin and IL-18 are increased in in-fants with BPD,which are related to the severity of BPD and lung function.The combination of serum Perios-tin and IL-18 has a high predictive value for BPD.

Objective:To explore the effects of “Internet plus” management based on attention-interest-search-action-share (AISAS) mode on health-promoting lifestyles in young and middle-aged patients with hypertension.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was used by this study, 212 young and middle-aged patients with hypertension from Cardiovascular Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were divided into"Internet plus"management group and routine management group according to the random number table method between January 2021 and January 2023, 106 cases in each group. The regular management group were given regular management intervention, and the “Internet plus” management group were used the “Internet plus” management model intervention based on the AISAS model, each lasting 12 months. All patients were intervened for 12 months. At 1d before discharge, 6 months and 12 months after discharge, health-promoting lifestyles were evaluated by Chinese version of Health Promotion Lifestyle Scale (HPLP-IIC), quality of life were evaluated by the 36-item shot-form health status survey (SF-36), and treatment compliance were evaluated by therapeutic adherence scare for hypertensive patients (TASHP).Results:With discharge time, scores of HPLP-IIC, SF-36 and TASHP were significantly increased in both groups (all P<0.05). At 6 and 12 months after discharge, the scores of HPLP-IIC [(117.58±16.43) and (134.37±20.25) points], SF-36 [(79.58±5.43) and (84.37±3.25) points] and TASHP [(101.84±6.32) and (115.37±4.25) points] in “Internet plus” management group were significantly higher than those in routine management group [HPLP-IIC: (96.25±13.74) and (108.05±14.73) points, SF-36: (61.25±5.09) and (78.05±4.37) points, TASHP: (81.05±5.37) and (94.68±3.37) points] (all P<0.001), while systolic blood pressure (SBP) [(128.52±4.02) and (126.81±2.34) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)] and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [(81.84±6.32) and (79.37±4.25) mmHg] were significantly lower than those in routine management group [SBP: (133.09±5.16) and (133.35±2.57) mmHg, DBP: (85.68±7.15) and (86.05±5.37) mmHg](all P<0.001). And, decrease of SBP [6 months: (-4.43±1.19) and (-6.14±2.01) mmHg] and DBP [6 months: (-3.75±1.71) and (-6.22±2.38) mmHg] in “Internet plus” management group were significantly higher than those in routine management group [SBP: (-1.28±0.75) and (-1.02±0.26) mmHg; DBP: (-1.05±0.62) and (-0.68±0.29) mmHg](all P<0.001). Conclusion:The “Internet plus” management based on AISAS mode can control blood pressure by improving the lifestyle, compliance and quality of life of young and middle-aged hypertensive patients.

Objective:To assess the correlation and consistency between the cancer risk-oriented endoscopic Kimura-Takemoto classification and the operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) in risk stratification of gastric cancer in patients with chronic gastritis after Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) eradication. Methods:From January 1, 2018 to October 31, 2021, 97 patients with chronic gastritis who successfully underwent H. pylori eradication at Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected. During the follow-up period, all patients underwent standardized magnifying endoscopy to assess gastric mucosal atrophy with the Kimura-Takemoto classification, which was classified as no or mild atrophy, moderate atrophy, and severe atrophy. Additionally, according to the new Sydney staging system, endoscopic biopsies were conducted at 5 sites of the patients to classify into OLGA stages 0, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, or Ⅳ. Spearman rank correlation analysis and Kappa consistency test were performed to evaluate the correlation and consistency between the 2 evaluation systems, respectively. Area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to calculate the predictive ability of the grading of gastric mucosal atrophy under endoscopy in high-risk histological staging. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors influencing the consistency of the 2 evaluation systems. Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Longitudinal follow-up was completed in 97 cases, with a follow-up time of (37.38±13.18) months after H. pylori eradication. The proportion of OLGA stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ in patients with no or mild atrophy (21.7%, 10/46) was lower than that in patients with moderate and severe atrophy (63.0%, 29/46 and 5/5, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=16.07 and 13.30, both P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in distribution of OLGA staging between patients with moderate atrophy and patients with severe atrophy (all P>0.05). The consistency rate of high-risk assessment for gastric cancer between the 2 evaluation systems was 73.2% (71/97). The correlation between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging was moderate ( r=0.47, 95% confidence interval(95% CI) 0.30 to 0.61, P<0.001). The result of consistency test indicated that the consistency of the 2 evaluation systems was moderate, and the Kappa value was 0.46 (95% CI 0.29 to 0.64, P<0.001). For patients with chronic gastritis after H. pylori eradication, the sensitivity of Kimura-Takemoto classification of moderate to severe atrophy under endoscopy in identifying high-risk of OLGA stages was 77.21% (95% CI 62.16% to 88.53%), the specificity was 69.81% (95% CI 55.66% to 81.66%), and the AUC was 0.735 (95% CI 0.636 to 0.820, P<0.01). As the time after H. pylori eradication increased (post- H. pylori eradication less than 18, 18 to 36, and more than 36 months), the consistency of atrophy assessment between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging reduced (7/8, 84.4% (27/32), 64.9% (37/57), respectively), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.36, P=0.037). The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the time after H. pylori eradication more than 36 months ( OR=3.443, 95% CI 1.117 to 10.614, P=0.031) and gastric ulcer ( OR=3.928, 95% CI 1.177 to 13.110, P=0.026) were independent factors influencing the consistency between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging. Conclusions:The endoscopic and histological changes of chronic gastritis after eradication of H. pylori are consistent. Within short period after H. pylori eradication (no more than 36 months), the sensitivity of high-risk classification under endoscopy is high and the specificity is moderate, which can predict high-risk histological staging to a certain degree.

Objective: To carry out the 4^th round of third-party evaluation on the implementation and effect of the 1^st year of the 2^nd Phase National Healthcare Improvement Initiative(abbreviated as Initiative)since 2015. Methods: The 4^th round of the evaluation survey adopted the same methods, organization and execution, and technical roadmap as the former three rounds of evaluations. Results: The 4^th round of evaluation was carried out from 18 March to 9 April, 2019 at 185 public hospitals in 31 provinces(autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government)and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.Facility survey, health professional survey and patient survey were conducted at each of the sample health facilities. A total of 120 782 valid questionnaires were collected from 144 non-psychiatric health facilities, 16 246 valid questionnaires were obtained from 41 psychiatric health facilities, and 252 cases of outstanding departments/hospitals in healthcare improvement were also collected. The average overall scoring of the 12 dimensions to assess Initiative implementation at 144 non-psychiatric health facilities was 84.4%. The overall outpatient satisfaction scoring was 91.1%, 96.7%for the inpatients. The overall inpatient satisfaction(family members inclusive) at 41 psychiatric health facilities was 93%. Areas remaining to be improved include day-surgery, telemedicine and medical social work. Compared with technical services, non-technical care should be further strengthened. The compensation, workload and work environment of the healthcare providers are still to be improved. Conclusions The implementation of the Initiative by health facilities has been greatly improved. The percentage of health facilities and patients who had positive perceptions of improved doctor-patient relationship has been increasing. Patient care experiences at public hospitals have been generally improved, and the implementation of promoting traditional Chinese Medicine practices also made progress. However, work satisfaction of healthcare providers was found to be rather low, compared to the high level of patient satisfaction.

Objective To realize the distribution and characteristics of Mycobacterium leprae (M.leprae) species and its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spreading currently in China.Methods A total of 171 cutaneous lesion specimen of leprosy patients from 22 provinces were collected.The 16S rRNA conservative region of Mycobacterium leprae was amplified by nest PCR and the positive products were sequenced directly and aligned by BLAST.The SNPs of M.leprae were genotyped by restricted fragment length polymorphism for the PCR products.Results The 171 specimen were all Mycobacterium leprae since the amplified fragments of DNA samples were 99％ similar to the Br4923 of M.leprae from Brazil.No new species (M.lepromatosis) was found.Among the 85 samples genotyped for SNPs,SNP3,SNP1 and SNP2 accounted for 78.8％ (67/85),20％ (17/85) and 1.2％ (1/85) respectively.There was no sample with SNP4 genotype to be detected.Among the 171 sequencing specimen,130 showed mutation C-T at 251 bp of 16S rRNA.There was no difference for mutant rate of 16S rRNA gene and SNP genotype among the samples with different clinical pathological types.Certain associations between 16S rRNA C251T mutation and SNP genotype were found.Most of the samples with C251T mutations of 16S rRNA sequence were SNP3,only a few were SNP1 but not SNP2.There was significant difference of SNP genotype distribution among the patients from different regions.The distribution rate of SNP3 genotype in the samples from inland region (97.1％,34/35)was significantly higher than that from coastal region (66％,33/50) (x2 =11.96,P ＜ 0.01) . There was significant difference of the gene mutation rate of 16S rRNA sequence among the patients from different regions.The mutation rate of 16S rRNA in the samples from inland region (94.8％,92/97) was significantly higher than that from coastal region (51.4％,38/74) (x2 =43.56,P ＜0.01).Conclusion C251T mutation in 16S rRNA gene sequence of M.leprae may associate with SNP type suggesting that the characteristics of geographical distribution presented in different genotypes of M.leprae.No new species of M.leprae was found in this study.

Objective: To explore the effects of microRNA-34a on regulating silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and influence of SIRT1 on myocardial damage of rats with severe burns at early stage. Methods: (1) Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham injury (SI) group, simple burns (SB) group and SIRT1 agonist (SA) group according to the random number table (the same grouping method below), with 8 rats in each group. Rats in groups SB and SA were inflicted with 30% total body surface area full-thickness scald (hereinafter referred to as burns) on the back, and rats in group SI were sham injuried on the back. Immediately after injury, rats in groups SI and SB were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline of 50 mL/kg, and rats in group SA were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline of 50 mL/kg and 1 mg/mL resveratrol of 50 mg/kg. At 6 h post injury, abdominal aortic blood was collected to make serum and myocardial tissue of rats was collected. (2) Myocardial cells of twelve neonatal SD rats were collected and divided into microRNA-34a mimic control (MMC) group, microRNA-34a mimic (MM) group, microRNA-34a inhibitor control (MIC) group, and microRNA-34a inhibitor (MI) group, which were respectively transfected with gene sequences of mimic control, mimic, inhibitor control, and inhibitor of microRNA-34a. The microRNA-34a expression level and protein expression level of SIRT1 in myocardial cells were respectively detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Another batch of myocardial cells were divided into microRNA-34a inhibitor control+ burn serum (MCB) group, microRNA-34a inhibitor+ burn serum (MB) group, and microRNA-34a inhibitor+ burn serum + EX527 (MBE) group. Myocardial cells in group MCB were transfected with gene sequence of inhibitor control, and myocardial cells in the later groups were transfected with gene sequence of inhibitor of microRNA-34a. After transfection of 48 h, myocardial cells in group MBE were cultured in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM) solution for 6 hours, with serum in group SB of volume fraction of 10% and final amount-of-substance concentration of 1 mol/L, and myocardial cells in the other 2 groups were cultured in DMEM solution with serum from rats of group SB of volume fraction of 10%. The protein expression levels of myocardial cells of SIRT1, cleaved-caspase-3, and Bax were detected by Western blotting. (3) Myocardial tissue from (1) was collected to detect expression levels of microRNA-34a and mRNA of SIRT1 in groups SI and SB by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. Morphology of myocardial tissue of rats in groups SI, SB, and SA was observed with biological image navigator. The mRNA expression levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) of rats in groups SI, SB, and SA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. The expression levels of cleaved-caspase-3, and Bax of myocardial tissue of rats in groups SI, SB, and SA were detected by Western blotting. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and least-significant difference test. Results: (1) After transfection of 48 h, the expression level of microRNA-34a of myocardial cells in group MM was 4.67±0.92, significantly higher than 1.03±0.04 in group MMC (P<0.01); the protein expression level of SIRT1 of myocardial cells in group MM was 0.35±0.06, significantly lower than 1.12±0.11 in group MMC (P<0.01). After transfection of 48 h, the expression level of microRNA-34a of myocardial cells in group MI was 0.26±0.07, significantly lower than 1.33±0.07 in group MIC (P<0.01); the protein expression level of SIRT1 of myocardial cells in group MIC was 1.12±0.16, significantly lower than 1.74±0.34 in group MI (P<0.01). At 6 h after culture, compared with those in group MCB, the SIRT1 protein expression level of myocardial cells in group MB was significantly increased (P<0.05), while cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax protein expression levels of myocardial cells in group MB were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with those in group MB, the SIRT1 protein expression level of myocardial cells in group MBE was with no significantly statistical difference (P>0.05), and cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). (2) At 6 h post injury, compared with that in group SI, the microRNA-34a expression level of myocardial tissue in group SB was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the mRNA expression level of SIRT1 of myocardial tissue in group SB was significantly decreased (P<0.01). At 6 h post injury, myocardial cells in group SI arranged neatly with normal nucleus and no inflammatory cells infiltration; myocardial cells in group SB arranged disorderly, with no abnormal nucleus, and obvious inflammatory cells infiltration; myocardial cells in group SA arranged neatly, with normal nucleus and little inflammatory cells infiltration. At 6 h post injury, compared with those in group SB, the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, and the protein expression levels of cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax of myocardial tissue in groups SI and SA were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusions The microRNA-34a expression level of myocardial tissue of rats with severe burns at early stage increases, which decreases the expression level of SIRT1, and increases the expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, cleaved-caspase-3 and Bax, leading to obvious myocardial damage. Activation of SIRT1 can alleviate myocardial damage of rats with severe burns at early stage through decreasing expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, cleaved-caspase-3, and Bax.
