Objective To investigate the recurrence of immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)in children and to establish a predictive model.Methods A total of 288 children with ITP admitted to Children's Hospital of Wujiang District and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Suzhou University from January 2018 to April 2022 were collected.The factors potentially related to the recurrence of ITP in children were screened.The children in the model group were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of recurrence and the indicators of the 2 groups were compared.After screening the potential influencing factors by LASSO regression and the independent influencing factors of relapse in children with ITP patients by Logstic regression analysis,we constructed a column-line graph model by using R language and validated it.Results A total of 37(18.47%)of 201 patients in the model group experienced relapse.The age,blood type,duration of disease before treatment,antecedent infections,bleeding,initial treatment regimen,antinuclear antibody titer,initial count and mean platelet volume,initial platelet distri-bution width,initial peripheral blood lymphocyte count and time length to effective platelet count after treatment were found in the recurrence group versus the non-recurrence group The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis performed on the basis of LASSO regression showed that blood type,duration of illness before treatment,antecedent infection,initial treatment regimen,ini-tial peripheral blood lymphocyte count,and time to effective platelet count after treatment were independent influ-ences on the conversion of cough variant asthma to classic asthma in children.Based on the results of the multifac-torial analysis,a column chart model for predicting ITP recurrence in children was developed in R.The results of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis showed that the area under curve(AUC)of the column chart model for predicting ITP recurrence in children in the modeling group was 0.867[95%CI(0.796,0.938)]with a sensitivity of 84.2%and a specificity of 73.1%,and that in the validation group,the AUC was 0.838[95%CI(0.765),0.911]with a sensitivity of 82.3%and a specificity of 78.4%,0.911)]sensitivity was 82.3%and specificity was 78.4%.The Bootstrap method was used to repeat the sampling 1000 times,and the validation group was used for validation.The results of the calibration curve showed that the prediction curves of the model group and the validation group were basically fitted with the standard curve,suggesting that the model prediction accuracy was high.The results of the decision curve analysis of the model group showed that the net benefit rate of patients was greater than zero when the probability threshold of the column line graph model of pre-dicting ITP recurrence in children was 0.15-0.75.Conclusions ITP recurrence in children is mainly affected by the patient's age,blood type,and pre-treatment course of the disease,and the column-line diagram model based on these factors has a high accuracy and differentiation for ITP recurrence in parenting children.

Background Pesticide exposure may impact the reproductive health of women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, data on pesticide exposure levels in women undergoing ART in China are scarce, and current research on influencing factors is limited. Objective To evaluate the preconceptional pesticide exposure levels and identify potential determinants among women undergoing ART. Methods This study was designed as a cross-sectional survey and recruited 508 women undergoing ART from July 2017 to December 2018 at the fertility clinic of the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Gas chromatography/liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the metabolite concentrations of organophosphate pesticides (OPs), pyrethroid pesticides (PYRs), and neonicotinoid pesticides (NEOs) in urine. The sum of molar concentrations of the three pesticide classes (∑2OPs, ∑2PYRs, and ∑2NEOs) were calculated. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and behavioral information. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the associations of demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and behavioral variables with the concentrations of pesticide metabolites in urine among the participants. Results The median creatinine-adjusted concentrations of ∑2OPs, ∑2PYRs, and ∑2NEOs in this study were 419.77, 2.95, and 20.36 nmol·g−1, respectively. The multiple linear regression results showed that the urinary concentration of ∑2OPs was 42.88% higher in the participants with daily vegetable intake than in those who consumed vegetables ≤3 d per week (P<0.05), and the urinary concentration of ∑2PYRs was 37.24% higher in the participants with daily fruit intake than in those who consumed fruits ≤3 d per week (P<0.01). Similarly, the urinary concentrations of ∑2NEOs were 24.51% and 29.30% higher in the participants who consumed fruits daily and 4-6 d per week, respectively, than in those who consumed fruits ≤3 d per week (P<0.05). Besides, we also found that the urinary concentration of ∑2PYRs was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) in the participants (P<0.05). Furthermore, the urinary concentration of ∑2NEOs was not only positively correlated with age (P<0.05), but also significantly associated with pet ownership and infertility causes among the participants. Specifically, the participants who continued to own pets after conception had a 30.11% higher urinary concentration of ∑2NEOs than those who never owned pets (P<0.05), and the participants with infertility due to female factors had a 24.10% lower urinary concentration of ∑2NEOs than those who received ART treatment for infertility caused by male factors (P<0.05). Conclusion The women undergoing ART in Shanghai are widely exposed to pesticides. Age, BMI, frequency of vegetable and fruit intake, pet ownership, and infertility causes may be related to the pesticide exposure levels in this population. However, more human data are needed to confirm these findings.

Objective:To explore the relationship between stress coping styles and disability levels in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) .Methods:Totally 300 SCI patients who were hospitalized in the Spinal Surgery Department of three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province from March 2021 to February 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Spinal Cord Lesion-related Coping Strategies Questionnaire (SCL-CSQ), and the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0). Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between stress coping styles and disability levels, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing disability levels in these patients.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, with 269 valid responses received, yielding an effective response rate of 89.67% (269/300). The total score of WHODAS 2.0 for the 269 patients was [91.00 (72.50, 104.00) ], with an item mean score of [2.53 (2.01, 2.89) ], and an average score rate of 59.86%, indicating a moderate to high level of disability. The average score rate for positive stress coping (facing, seeking support, rationalization) was 67.30%, while for negative stress coping (rejection and denial, fantasy, dependency and compromise), it was 64.48%. Negative stress coping was positively correlated with disability levels ( P<0.05), while positive stress coping was negatively correlated with disability levels ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that occupation, American Spinal Injury Association classification, facing, rejection and denial, and dependency and compromise were factors influencing disability levels in SCI patients ( P<0.05), explaining 50.4% of the total variance in disability levels. Conclusions:The disability level of SCI patients is moderate to high, and stress coping style is an influencing factor. Healthcare professionals should help patients avoid controllable stressors, cultivate effective stress coping strategies, prevent helplessness, to shorten the time window for disability development, and improve patients' quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of hemopurification on acute chlorfenapyr poisoning according to the blood concentration of chlorfenapyr and to provide experience for clinical treatment.Methods:Two patients who presented to our Emergency Department following an ingestion of chlorfenapyr and then were treated with hemopurification in 2022 were included. The concentrations of chlorfenapyr and its highly toxic metabolite tralopyril were dynamically monitored, and the clinical data of the patients were collected.Results:Case 1 was given hemoperfusion for the first time 13 hours after ingestion. During l hour hemoperfusion, the tralopyril decreased by 28.82%. The concentration increased and exceeded the pre-perfusion level after 2 hours of hemoperfusion. After three times of hemoperfusion, the concentrations of chlorfenapyr and tralopyril were still higher than those before the first time, reaching 248 ng/mL and 1 307 ng/mL respectively. The concentration of chlorfenapyr showed a downward trend after 130 h, and the tralopyril in blood reached the peak 3 164 ng/mL at 130 h and decreased to 2 707 ng/mL at 178 h. In case 2, the blood chlorfenapyr and tralopyril concentration was 392 ng/mL and 7 598 ng/mL respectively 150 hours after ingestion. The blood chlorfenapyr concentration decreased by 37.75% respectively after first hemoperfusion, and the tralopyril concentration decreased by 38.02% respectively. During 85 hours of continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF), the concentration of tralopyril was maintained at 4 234~6 410 ng/mL. Case 1 was followed up to 12 days and lost follow-up. Case 2 died and the survival time was 247 hours.Conclusions:Hemoperfusion can scavenge tralopyril, but CVVHDF has poor scavenging ability for tralopyril. And the apparent volume of distribution (Vd) of chlorfenapyr and tralopyril are large. After ingestion, chlorfenapyr spreads to various tissues quickly, and it is easy to accumulate in the adipose tissue. The chlorfenapyr in the tissue slowly is released back to the blood and stays in the blood for a long time. The peak concentration of chlorfenapyr appeared earlier than that of tralopyril. Clinicians should pay attention to the early removal of toxins from the digestive tract.

Objective:To describe the current situation of gastric lavage operation and put forward measures for improvement by analyzing the clinical characteristics of 294 patients with gastric lavage in Poisoning Treatment Center of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Methods:The clinical data of 294 patients with acute poisoning and gastric lavage from 2019 to 2021 were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the related parameters (poison type, gastric lavage volume, poisoning to gastric lavage time, etc.) of each year were compared.Results:A total of 653 poisoning patients underwent gastric lavage from 2019 to 2021, with an average age of (44.2 ±20.1) years, and 134 (45.6%) were male. The main causes of gastric lavage were pesticide poisoning (52.72%) and drug poisoning (42.86%). The volume of gastric lavage was less than 10 L for 43.8% of patients and 10-20 L for 32.7% of patients. Patients with gastric lavage within 60 min after ingestion of poison accounted for 45.3%, followed by 25.8% within 61-120 min. The in-hospital mortality rate was 17.7%. The common complications of gastric lavage were: the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding (55/121, 45.5%), the incidence of aspiration pneumonia (54/140, 38.6%), and the incidences of electrolyte disorder (21% of low potassium, 29% low calcium, and 10.0% low sodium). Compared with the groups in different years, the proportion of gastric lavage in poisoning was 58.85% vs. 46.60% vs. 32.41%, which decreased year by year, with statistical difference ( P <0.05). And there was no difference in the period from ingestion to gastric lavage and gastric lavage fluid volume. There was an increasing trend in poison types between diquat and other insecticides, but there was no statistical difference. Conclusions:From 2019 to 2021, the most common causes of acute gastric lavage were pesticide poisoning and drug poisoning, and the proportion of diquat and other pesticides showed an overall upward trend. A majority of the patients (71.1%) had gastric lavage within 2 h, and 76.5% of the patients had less than 20 L gastric lavage fluid. In the future, we will further control the amount of gastric lavage fluid and pay attention to the gastric lavage operation of new insecticide poisoning.

Objective:To analyze the difference of expression of Wnt protein family member 5a(Wnt5a)in prediabetes and diabetes mellitus and its correlation with immune inflammation in patients with prediabetes.Methods:From November 2020 to Novem-ber 2021,64 patients with prediabetes who treated in Zaozhuang Municipal Hospital were selected as group A,51 patients with diabe-tes were selected as group B,and 50 healthy people who underwent physical examination were selected as group C.The baseline data of 3 groups were collected,level of Wnt5a was determined,expression difference of Wnt5a in prediabetes and diabetes was analyzed,the related indicators of immune inflammation were determined,and the correlation between Wnt5a and immune inflammation in patients with prediabetes was analyzed.Predictive value of Wnt5a for prediabetes and diabetes was analyzed by ROC curve,and its cutoff values were determined for clinical disease prediction.Results:Compared with group B,Wnt5a level,immune inflammatory indexes Th1,Th17,Th22,IFN-γ,IL-17A and IL-22 levels in group A were decreased(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,Wnt5a,Th1,Th17,Th22,IFN-γ,IL-17A and IL-22 were independent risk factors for the occurrence of prediabetes(P<0.05).Wnt5a was positively correlated with immune inflammation-related indicators Th1,Th17,Th22,IFN-γ,IL-17A and IL-22 in patients with prediabetes(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that AUC values of Wnt5a in predicting prediabetes and diabetes were 0.921 and 0.897,respectively,and the AUC were all>0.7,which indicating that Wnt5a had a higher predictive value for predia-betes and diabetes(P<0.05).Conclusion:There is a certain difference in expression of Wnt5a in prediabetes and diabetes.When level of 42.38 pg/ml≤Wnt5a<62.50 pg/ml,it is prediabetes,and when level of Wnt5a≥62.50 pg/ml,it indicates that the transition from prediabetes to diabetes has occurred,and believed that Wnt5a is related to immune inflammation in prediabetic patients,which may increase the degree of insulin resistance by amplifying local immune inflammation in prediabetic patients and eventually lead to the occurrence of diabetes.
