Blinding is an important means to control and reduce measurement bias in clinical research， and blinding assessment is the main method to measure the success of the blinding method. By summarizing the current situation of blinding assessment in randomized controlled trials （RCT） of acupuncture， it was found that the report rate of blinding assessment by acupuncture RCT was relatively low， and the studies reporting blinding assessment had several problems， such as incomplete assessment individuals， unreasonable assessment questionnaires， and unscientific analysis methods， and the setting of the assessment time point is controversial. Given the above problems， this paper discussed the key elements of blinding assessment individuals， assessment questionnaires， assessment time points， and analysis methods. It is suggested that blinding assessment should be carried out on all blinded participants and personnel in the study； the assessment questionnaire should be designed by direct inquiry， with responses designed using three or more categorical options that include an "unclear" option； the early stage of the trial should be taken as the mandatory time point for assessment， integrating the evaluation index of the James blinding index and the Bang blinding index， in order to standardize the application of blinding assessment in acupuncture RCT and improve the quality of acupuncture clinical research.

Objective:To explore the significance of next-generation sequencing to detect gene mutations for diagnosis of patients with unexplained pancytopenia.Methods:The next-generation sequencing was used to detect 32 common hematological tumor gene mutations in 113 patients with unexplained pancytopenia in Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital from February 2016 to February 2019.Results:The next-generation sequencing results showed that of the 32 genes tested in 113 patients, 69 mutations occurred in 25 genes. Among them, 105 patients (92.9%) carried at least 1 gene mutation, and the median number of mutations was 2 (1-5). Fifty-one patients were diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and the related mutant genes were detected; 62 patients were diagnosed with atypical aplastic anemia or cytopenia of unknown significance. The total effective rate of treatment for 113 patients was 65.5% (74/113).Conclusion:The next-generation sequencing helps to diagnose patients with unexplained pancytopenia, and provides targeted strategies for finding new treatments and prolonging the overall survival of patients.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting the disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis in patients with ulceration necrosis tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB Ⅱ) after standardized chemotherapy and bronchoscopic intervention.Methods:The clinical data of 222 TBTB Ⅱ patients admitted to Hunan Chest Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were collected, bronchoscopic interventional treatment was performed on time. The texture, blockage of lumen, granulation proliferation, airway stenosis of TBTB patients before treatment, the disappearance time of airway dead objects, scar repair time and stenosis degree after treatment were followed up. The disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis and its influencing factors were recorded and analyzed.Results:In 222 patients, 508 ulceration necrosis airway lesions were found under bronchoscopy, with a median of 2(1-6); 170(76.6%) cases of airway lesions had different degrees of stenosis before treatment. 79(35.6%) patients had tough necrosis, and 86(38.7%) patients had necrosis blocking the lumen; 132(59.5%) patients had granulomatosis. The disappearance time of airway necrosis after treatment was 1 to 32 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 6(3, 9) weeks; the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 2 to 73 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 14(10, 19) weeks; after treatment, there were 90.5%(201/222) patients with different degrees of scarring in the airways. Cox multiple analysis showed that the risk factor for the disappearance time of airway necrosis was tough tough necrosis ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.10-2.10); the risk factor for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was the disappearance time of airway necrosis 6-9 weeks ( HR=2.73, 95% CI: 1.84-4.05). Conclusions:90.5% of patients with type Ⅱ TBTB developed airway scar stenosis after treatment. The median time for the disappearance of airway necrosis was 6 weeks, and the median time for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 14 weeks. In the interventional process, attention should be paid to the removal of tough necrosis and the efficiency of necrosis removal to reduce the risk of airway scar stenosis.

Objective:To observe and compare the changes of pulmonary function in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis regular treatment for 3 months.Methods:From April 2018 to June 2019, 500 tuberculosis patients who received regular anti tuberculosis treatment in our hospital were selected.The pulmonary function of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was measured before treatment and at the end of three months; the results of pulmonary ventilation function, lung volume, diffusing capacity, and the value of forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1), maximum expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FEV 1/FVC), total lung volume (TLC), residual volume (RV), carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (D LCO) were compared. Results:252 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were included. Before treatment and at the end of three months, the abnormal pulmonary function results were 204 cases (80.95%) and 193 cases (76.59%), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Among them, abnormal pulmonary ventilation function is the most common, especially with obstructive, followed by abnormal diffusing capacity. At the end of three months, the proportions of patients with normal pulmonary ventilation function and normal lung volume were higher than that before treatment ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the proportion of normal diffusing capacity before and after treatment ( P>0.05). The values of FVC, FEV 1, TLC and D LCO at the end of three months were higher than those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-6.414, -6.754, -3.863, -3.311, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Most patients with pulmonary tuberculosis have abnormal pulmonary function. At the end of the three months treatment, the normal rates of the pulmonary ventilation function and lung volume as well as the values of FVC, FEV 1, TLC and D LCO in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were significantly improved compared with those before treatment.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating mild amnestic cognitive impairment (aMCI).Methods:Twenty-five patients with aMCI were randomly divided into an observation group of 13 and a control group of 12. The observation group was given 10-Hz rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at 80% of the motor threshold-400 pulses a day, 5 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks. The control group received sham stimulation on the same schedule. Before and after the experiment, both groups were evaluated using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and received fMRI scans.Results:After the intervention, the average MoCA score of the observation group had improved significantly more compared with that of the control group and compared with before the intervention. According to the fMRI results, regional homogeneity in the right middle frontal gyrus of the observation group had increased significantly, while that of the control group both there and in the left precuneus had decreased significantly.Conclusions:High-frequency rTMS can effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with aMCI and synchronize neuron activity in cognition-related brain regions.

Objective　To confirm the effect of the pandemic on the health seeking behavior of patients by analyzing the changes of onset to door time（ODT） of patients with acute ischemic stroke（AIS） before and after the pandemic of COVID-19.Methods　Consecutive cases of hospitalized patients with AIS who visited the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital in the same time span and at different periods were collected，including 100 cases in the pre-pandemic group（pre-PG），64 cases in the post-pandemic group（post-PG），and 86 cases in the Spring Festival group（SFG-19） in 2019.The chi-square test or t-test were used to analyze changes of ODT；Patients whose ODT more than 12 hours in post-PG were followed up，and descriptive statistics were performed on the reasons for delay of arrival. Results　The ODT of the post-PG was significantly prolonged compared with the pre-PG ［（38.8±69.9） hours vs （17.9±26.7） hours，P<0.05］，and the SFG-19 ［（38.8±69.9） hours vs （20.0±27.6）hours，P<0.05］. The proportion of ODT within 4.5 hours （28.1% vs 44%，P<0.05），6 hours （31.2% vs 48%，P<0.05），and 24 hours （62.5% vs 79%，P<0.05） in the post-PG was significantly less than the pre-PG. The proportion of ODT within 4.5 hours （28.1% vs 44.2%，P<0.05） and 6 hours （31.2% vs 48.8%，P<0.05） in the post-PG was significantly less than the SFG-19，but there was no significant difference in 24 hours （62.5% vs 74.4%，P>0.05）. The follow-up questionnaire found that the main reason for the delay of ODT as below：fear of infection with the virus，lack of knowledge about stroke，and insufficient attention，accounting for 66%，40%，and 37% of the respondents，respectively. Conclusion　The pandemic of COVID-19 significantly delay the ODT of patients with AIS and adversely affect its treatment.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive population and explore its influencing factors.Methods Cluster sampling was used,continuous 205 cases who were diagnosed as HIV positive from December 16,2002 to June 30,2012 in Zhuhui district and Yanfeng district of Hunan province and could be followed up and traced were enrolled in the study.All patients were screened after informed content through questionnaire,sputum smear examination,chest X-ray examination,liquid culture (BACTECTM MGITTM 960 operating system),mycobacterium species identification (for liquid culture positive) and CD4 testing.Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify the impacts of different sex,age,and TB suspect syndromes,etc.Results Of 205 cases,19 were diagnosed as tuberculosis.The rate of TB/HIV was 9.3％.Univariate analysis showed that age,annual household net income,being acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients and with TB suspect syndromes had significant impacts on tuberculosis combining (P ＜ 0.05).While multivariate analysis showed that age (OR =1.443) and TB suspect syndromes (OR =3.124) were risk factors influencing TB combining in people living with HIV (PLHIVs).Conclusions TB prevalence in HIV positive population was higher in Zhuhui district and Yanfeng,those aged and with TB suspect syndromes cases had higher risk to develop tuberculosis.TB screening should be reinforced in HIV positive population.
