Objective To investigate the infection status and changing trend of hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection in hospitalized patients in medical institutions,and provide reference for formulating HCV infection prevention and control strategies.Methods HCV infection surveillance results from cross-sectional survey data reported to China Healthcare-associated Infection(HAI)Surveillance System in 2020 were summarized and analyzed,HCV positive was serum anti-HCV positive or HCV RNA positive,survey result was compared with the survey results from 2003.Results In 2020,1 071 368 inpatients in 1 573 hospitals were surveyed,738 535 of whom underwent HCV test,4 014 patients were infected with HCV,with a detection rate of 68.93％and a HCV positive rate of 0.54％.The positive rate of HCV in male and female patients were 0.60％and 0.48％,respectively,with a statistically sig-nificant difference(x2=47.18,P＜0.001).The HCV positive rate in the 50-＜60 age group was the highest(0.76％),followed by the 40-＜50 age group(0.71％).Difference among all age groups was statistically signifi-cant(x2=696.74,P＜0.001).In 2003,91 113 inpatients were surveyed.35 145 of whom underwent HCV test,resulting in a detection rate of 38.57％;775 patients were infected with HCV,with a positive rate of 2.21％.In 2020,HCV positive rates in hospitals of different scales were 0.46％-0.63％,with the highest in hospital with bed numbers ranging 600-899.Patients'HCV positive rates in hospitals of different scales was statistically signifi-cant(X2=35.34,P＜0.001).In 2020,12 provinces/municipalities had over 10 000 patients underwent HCV-rela-ted test,and HCV positive rates ranged 0.19％-0.81％,with the highest rate from Hainan Province.HCV posi-tive rates in different departments were 0.06％-0.82％,with the lowest positive rate in the department of pedia-trics and the highest in the department of internal medicine.In 2003 and 2020,HCV positive rates in the depart-ment of infectious diseases were the highest,being 7.95％and 3.48％,respectively.Followed by departments of orthopedics(7.72％),gastroenterology(3.77％),nephrology(3.57％)and general intensive care unit(ICU,3.10％)in 2003,as well as departments of gastroenterology(1.35％),nephrology(1.18％),endocrinology(0.91％),and general intensive care unit(ICU,0.79％)in 2020.Conclusion Compared with 2003,HCV positive rate decreased significantly in 2020.HCV infected patients were mainly from the department of infectious diseases,followed by departments of gastroenterology,nephrology and general ICU.HCV infection positive rate varies with gender,age,and region.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth＞3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Hypertension and osteoporosis(OP)are common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people,and the number of patients with both diseases has gradually increased in recent years.Because the onset of the disease is hidden,it is easy to cause fractures and serious complications of heart,brain and kidney in the later stage,which not only seriously damages the quality of life of patients,but also increases the difficulty of clinical treatment.Therefore,it is particularly necessary to strengthen the research on this disease.More and more studies have found that the disorder of intestinal flora will lead to the occurrence of OP,while the intestinal flora of patients with hypertension is obviously out of balance.Therefore,this paper thinks that intestinal flora may be the key influencing factor of hypertension complicated with OP,and the imbalance of intestinal flora will lead to the imbalance of short-chain fatty acid metabolism,immune inflammatory reaction and increased sympathetic nerve activity,thus causing the imbalance of bone homeostasis and promoting the occurrence of OP.Therefore,it is suggested that regulating intestinal flora may be a new way to intervene hypertension complicated with OP.

S100 calc-binding protein A8/A9(S100A8/A9)can induce the migration of primary tumor cells to distant target organs by binding multiple channel proteins,promote the formation of tumor metastasis microenvironment,and play an important role in the immune and inflammatory response of the body.It provides a new target and idea for the prevention and treatment of tumor metastasis and invasion.This paper mainly reviewed the expression and mechanism of S100A8/A9 on related channel proteins in a variety of high incidence tumors,in order to provide a new strategy for tumor prevention,diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of rituximab injection in the treatment of patients with phospholipase A2 receptor-associated membranous nephropathy(PLA2R-MN).Methods The PLA2R-MN patients were randomly divided into control group and treatment group.The control group received oral prednisone tablets,initial dose of 40-60 mg·d-1,gradually reduced the dose according to the patients'condition after 2 months,cyclophosphamide injection 0.6 g per time,intravenous infusion,once every 2 weeks,for 6 consecutive times,then adjusted to 1.0 g per time,intravenous infusion,once a month;the treatment group received 375 mg·m-2 rituximab injection intravenous infusion,once a week,for 4 consecutive weeks,on the basis of the control group treatment.Both groups of patients were treated for 6 months.The clinical efficacy,24 h urine protein quantification,serum creatinine(SCr),glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),urinary microalbumin(UAlb),urinary creatinine(UCr)and adverse drug reactions were compared between two groups.Results Fifty-three patients were enrolled in the treatment group,2 cases dropped out,and 51 cases were finally included in the statistical analysis.Fifty-three patients were enrolled in the control group,2 cases dropped out,and 51 cases were finally included in the statistical analysis.After treatment,the total effective rate of the treatment group and the control group were 92.16％(47 cases/51 cases)and 76.47％(39 cases/51 cases),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After treatment,the 24 h urine protein quantification of the treatment and control groups were(0.86±0.30)and(1.04±0.27)g·24 h-1;SCr levels were(103.37±18.80)and(120.55±19.94)μmol·L-1;eGFR levels were(65.89±8.17)and(55.87±9.36)mL·min-1·1.73 m-2;UAlb levels were(47.45±13.52)and(98.21±25.50)mg·L-1;UCr were(1.55±0.42)and(1.96±0.51)mg·g-1,respectively,and the differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions of two groups were mainly nausea,vomiting,liver function damage,skin itching,infection,hair loss,etc.The total incidences of adverse drug reactions in the treatment and control groups were 43.14％and 37.25％,without significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Rituximab injection has a definite clinical efficacy in the treatment of PLA2R-MN patients,which can significantly improve the renal function of patients,and does not increase the incidence of adverse drug reactions.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether the onset of the plateau phase of slow hepatitis B surface antigen decline in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with intermittent interferon therapy is related to the frequency of dendritic cell subsets and expression of the costimulatory molecules CD40,CD80,CD83,and CD86. Method This was a cross-sectional study in which patients were divided into a natural history group(namely NH group),a long-term oral nucleoside analogs treatment group(namely NA group),and a plateau-arriving group(namely P group).The percentage of plasmacytoid dendritic cell and myeloid dendritic cell subsets in peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes and the mean fluorescence intensity of their surface costimulatory molecules were detected using a flow cytometer. Results In total,143 patients were enrolled(NH group,n = 49;NA group,n = 47;P group,n = 47).The results demonstrated that CD141/CD1c double negative myeloid dendritic cell(DNmDC)/lymphocytes and monocytes(%)in P group(0.041[0.024,0.069])was significantly lower than that in NH group(0.270[0.135,0.407])and NA group(0.273[0.150,0.443]),and CD86 mean fluorescence intensity of DNmDCs in P group(1832.0[1484.0,2793.0])was significantly lower than that in NH group(4316.0[2958.0,5169.0])and NA group(3299.0[2534.0,4371.0]),Adjusted P all<0.001. Conclusion Reduced DNmDCs and impaired maturation may be associated with the onset of the plateau phase during intermittent interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Objective To explore characteristics of clinical parameters and cytokines in patients with drug-induced liver injury(DILI)caused by different drugs and their correlation with clinical indicators. Method The study was conducted on patients who were up to Review of Uncertainties in Confidence Assessment for Medical Tests(RUCAM)scoring criteria and clinically diagnosed with DILI.Based on Chinese herbal medicine,cardiovascular drugs,non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs),anti-infective drugs,and other drugs,patients were divided into five groups.Cytokines were measured by Luminex technology.Baseline characteristics of clinical biochemical indicators and cytokines in DILI patients and their correlation were analyzed. Results 73 patients were enrolled.Age among five groups was statistically different(P=0.032).Alanine aminotransferase(ALT)(P=0.033)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)(P=0.007)in NSAIDs group were higher than those in chinese herbal medicine group.Interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)in patients with Chinese herbal medicine(IL-6:P<0.001;TNF-α:P<0.001)and cardiovascular medicine(IL-6:P=0.020;TNF-α:P=0.001)were lower than those in NSAIDs group.There was a positive correlation between ALT(r=0.697,P=0.025),AST(r=0.721,P=0.019),and IL-6 in NSAIDs group. Conclusion Older age may be more prone to DILI.Patients with NSAIDs have more severe liver damage in early stages of DILI,TNF-α and IL-6 may partake the inflammatory process of DILI.

Objective To preliminarily explore the correlation between traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)syndrome types of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and their lifestyle and emotional factors such as diet,sleep and exercise,thus to provide more information for guiding the treatment and lifestyle correction for patients with PCOS.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted in 234 patients who were diagnosed with PCOS and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Capital Medical University,from January 2020 to February 2023.The collection of relevant information covered general information,diet,sleep,exercise,and psychological state.And then the patients were differentiated as four TCM syndrome types,namely spleen deficiency and phlegm-damp type,kidney deficiency and liver constraint type,kidney deficiency and blood stasis type,phlegm blended with blood stasis type according to the symptoms as well as tongue manifestation and pulse condition.The distribution of the TCM syndrome types in PCOS was investigated,and the lifestyle factors of general information,diet,sleep,exercise,and emotions in PCOS patients with various TCM syndrome types were analyzed by statistical methods,aiming to explore the relationship between the lifestyle factors and TCM syndrome types.Results(1)The analysis of the distribution of TCM syndrome types showed that among the 234 PCOS patients,104 cases(accounted for 44.4%)were differentiated as spleen deficiency and phlegm-damp type,which was the predominant type,and then came kidney deficiency and liver constraint type(85 cases,accounting for 36.3%),phlegm blended with blood stasis type(28 cases,accounting for 12.0%),and kidney deficiency and blood stasis type(17 cases,accounting for 7.3%)in descending order.(2)The correlation of TCM syndrome types with lifestyle factors such as diet,sleep and exercise and emotional factors showed that statistically significant differences were presented in the body mass index(BMI),dietary preference,five-flavor preference,having or not having exercise habits,exercise frequency,duration of exercise,exercise mode,exercise intensity,time from going to bed to falling asleep,duration of sleep,emotions being or not being calm,presence of anxiety or not,and presence of impatience and irritability or not in PCOS patients with various TCM syndrome types(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).However,there were no statistically significant differences in the age,education level,occupation,family history,history of weight loss,dietary condition,sleep quality,time to fall asleep,frequency of staying up late,depression,obsessive-compulsive disorder,forgetfulness,fatigue,and self-consciousness of high pressure from work and study in PCOS patients with various TCM syndrome types(P＞0.05).Conclusion Healthy lifestyle is of great practical significance for the prevention and treatment of PCOS.The investigation of the correlation of TCM syndrome types with diet,sleep,exercise and psychological state of PCOS patients reveals the possible risk factors for TCM syndromes in PCOS,which will enable the practitioners to perform targeted lifestyle correction for PCOS patients with different TCM syndrome types,and has positive significance for targeted diagnosis and treatment of PCOS patients with different TCM syndrome types.
