While biologic agents are widely used in rheumatology practice，its side effects become apparent and are brought into focus.Biologic agents associated vasculitis are drug induced vasculitis which are induced by biologic agents.It is one of the main and severe immunological side effects by biologic agents.Its pathogenesis is unclear.And the clinical characteristic is various.Tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors are most likely to cause vasculitis，and leukocytoclastic vasculitis is the most common one.The diagnosis of biologicagents associated vasculitis is difficult and should be paid attention in clinical practice.The biologic agents withdrawal which induced vasculitis is the critical treatment，while steroids and immune-suppressants should be given if necessary.

Objective:To study the correlation between different body weight metabolic phenotypes and their changes and new-onset hyperuricemia in physical examination population.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 31 956 people who underwent routine physical examination and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the Health Management Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 1, 2014 to August 31, 2022 were selected as the study subjects to establish a dynamic physical examination cohort. The end point of follow-up was new-onset hyperuricemia or the end of follow-up period. Cox regression stepwise fitting model was used to analyze the risk of different body weight metabolic phenotypes and hyperuricemia, and stratified analysis was performed for gender. According to body weight metabolic phenotype, the subjects were divided into normal metabolism and normal weight(NMNW) group, normal metabolism and obesity (NMO) group, abnormal metabolism and normal weight (AMNW) group and abnormal metabolism and obesity (AMO) group. The risk of hyperuricemia was calculated according to the changes of body weight metabolic phenotype during the follow-up period. In the sensitivity analysis, the robustness of the results was verified by changing the diagnostic criteria for hyperuricemia, removing patients with hyperuricemia at the first year of follow-up, and removing subjects aged ≥65 years.Results:Compared with the NMNW group, the risk of hyperuricemia in the NMO group, AMNW group and AMO group increased by 78.9%, 61.3%, 115.4%, respectively ( χ2=272.88, 128.15, 496.12, all P<0.001). Patients who were initially classified as NMNW at baseline, if transitioned to NMO or AMO by the follow-up endpoint, their risk of hyperuricemia increased by 122.5% ( χ2=8.01, P<0.05) and 137.4% ( χ2=15.99, P<0.001), respectively. When the baseline AMNW group changed to AMO, the risk of hyperuricemia was increased by 119.2% ( χ2=6.63, P<0.05). For patients with AMO as baseline, if they turned into NMNW and AMNW at the end of follow-up, their risk of hyperuricemia would decrease by 58.3% ( χ2=43.67, P<0.001) and 27.2% ( χ2=16.07, P<0.001). Patients with a baseline of NMO who transitioned to NMNW and AMNW at the follow-up endpoint had their risk of developing hyperuricemia decreased by 36.7% ( χ2=25.35, P<0.001) and 30.9% ( χ2=9.70, P<0.05), respectively. Conclusions:The transition from metabolic health and non-overweight obesity to metabolic abnormalities and overweight obesity is associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia, and improvements in metabolic health or weight are associated with a decreased risk of hyperuricemia.

Objective:To explore the relationship between weight change and the development of hyperuricemia (HUA) in adults receiving health checkups.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. A total of 37 722 subjects who underwent two or more health checkups at the Health Management Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2014 to December 2022 were included, and the general information and laboratory findings at the time of the initial health checkups and follow-up were collected. Weight change was defined as the ratio of difference between the weight at the last follow-up and the baseline weight to baseline weight. The subjects were grouped with weight change: significant weight loss group (weight change ≤-5.0%), mild weight loss group (-5.0%

Objective:To investigate the application of patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) using exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) method in internal quality control (IQC) procedures of thyroid function tests.Methods:The serum thyroid function test results of outpatients and inpatients in the Second Hospital of Shandong University from December 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023 were collected. Based on the PBRTQC professional intelligent software system, normality correction, parameter setting, program preparation and real-time operation of test data were carried out. The results of all patients who underwent thyroid function testing between May 1, 2023 and August 31, 2023 were used as the validation dataset. The estimated EWMA value of thyroid function test results and the cumulative coefficient of variation ( CV) over 4 months were calculated. The cumulative CV was compared with the criteria of precision quality standard (1/3TEa) and the CV of IQC. Westgard 2-2s and 1-3s rules were used for alarm setting. The early warning information of the EWMA quality control program were recorded and the potential causes of performance changes were analyzed. DxLab Mind software was used to conduct normal distribution statistics for all data, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was performed on the test results. Results:The items related to serum thyroid function of the patients were all positively skewed. After data correction by Box-Cox method, the PBRTQC data of free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) were normally distributed, and their cumulative precisions ( CV) of EWMA within 4 months were 6.26% and 2.86%, respectively, both of which were lower than the precision quality target of 8.33%. However, the data of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) were still positive skewed after modification. The EWMA cumulative CV of TSH, TPOAb and TgAb were 13.16%, 15.31% and 16.77%, which were higher than the precision quality targets of 8.33%, 10% and 10%, respectively. The EWMA QC program can detect different out-of-control alarms, including FT4 false alarms due to sample source concentration and TSH result bias caused by changes in reagent performance. In addition, the EWMA QC program can also detect differences in FT3 results between different DXI800 fully automated chemiluminescence instrument instruments. Conclusions:The EWMA program based on PBRTQC professional intelligent software tools can monitor the patient data of the detection system in real time and continuously, dynamically identify and monitor the errors generated during the analysis process and give early warning. It can be used as a useful supplement for the daily IQC of thyroid function items, especially FT3 and FT4, and has good clinical application value.

ObjectiveTo understand the concentration of heavy metal cadmium and cadmium in portunus and mantis shrimp， and to timely identify food safety problems and potential hazards. MethodsPortunus and mantis shrimp samples from different provinces were collected and categorized based on different regions and locations， and some samples were made from tissue parts. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was used to detect cadmium items， the cadmium exposure of portunus and mantis shrimp was evaluated simultaneously ResultsThe detection rate of cadmium in 124 batches of portunus sold in Shanghai was 100% （124/124）， the detection rate of cadmium in 63 batches of mantis shrimp sold in the market was also 100% （63/63）. The cadmium content varied in different tissue parts， and the cadmium enrichment in hepatopancreas was the highest in the edible parts of portunus and mantis shrimp. The average detection value， 50th percentile value， 95th percentile value of cadmium in the hepatopancreas of portunus accounted for 52.64%， 49.28% and 98.65% of the PTMI， respectively. The average detection value， 50th percentile value and 95th percentile value of cadmium in the hepatopancreas of mantis shrimp accounted for 30.76%， 32.04% and 46.16% of the PTMI， respectively. ConclusionThe average residual levels of heavy metal cadmium in portunus and mantis shrimp are within the safe range.

Sj?gren′s syndrome(SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, including primary SS (pSS) and secondary SS (sSS). Pediatric sSS has the similar clinical characters with pSS, which can be classified based on the same classification criteria.Compared with those of adult SS, pediatric SS is rare, insidious and lacks the typical manifestations of dry eyes and dry mouth.Therefore, the classification criteria for adult SS is not suitable for pediatric SS.So far, there are no classification criteria for pediatric SS that have been widely applied and validated, which needs to be further explored.The present review described the clinical characteristics and progress of classification criteria for pediatric SS, and compared pSS and sSS in affected children.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the impact of acupuncture on exercise-induced fatigue (EIF). Methods: Scopus, Springer Link, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), and China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM) were systematically searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying acupuncture treatment of EIF from the inception till August 2020. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane handbook. RevMan 5.3 was used to conduct statistical analysis on the extracted data. Results: A total of 11 RCTs were included for meta-analysis, involving 531 patients. It was revealed that acupuncture produced more significant effects in alleviating subjective fatigue [standardized mean difference (SMD)=-3.08, 95％ confidence interval (CI) (-4.35, -1.81), P<0.001], increasing the hemoglobin content [weighted mean difference (WMD)=3.89, 95％CI (1.37, 6.42), P=0.003], reducing the lactate dehydrogenase content [WMD=-10.63, 95％CI (-17.67, -3.59), P=0.003], reducing the blood lactic acid content [SMD=-2.65, 95％CI (-4.47, -0.83), P=0.004], and down-regulating the levels of serum creatine kinase [SMD=-0.79, 95％CI (-1.10, -0.48), P<0.001] and blood urea nitrogen [WMD=-1.47, 95％CI (-1.84, -1.11), P<0.001] than the control groups. Conclusion: Based on the existing evidence, acupuncture can be recognized as effective in improving EIF and is worthy of promotion in clinical settings.

Objective:To systematically review and integrate the self-care experience of patients with chronic heart failure, so as to provide a reference for the construction of self-care plan for patients with chronic heart failure.Methods:Qualitative studies on the self-care experience of patients with chronic heart failure were retrieved by computer in Chinese and English databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , China Biomedical Literature Database, WanFang Med Database and VIP, and the retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to January 31, 2021. The quality of the studies were assessed using the Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies of Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Centre in Australian. A pooled method was used to integrate the included articles.Results:A total of 13 articles were included. A total of 50 research results were extracted, and 7 new categories were obtained by integrating similar results, which were combined into 2 integrated results. Integrated result 1, that was, multiple factors affected the implementation of self-care in patients with chronic heart failure. Integrated result 2, that was, over time, the patient began to coexist with the disease, and realized self-worth by exploring positive psychological feelings and choosing positive responses using personal beliefs.Conclusions:Chronic heart failure patients are constrained by a variety of factors in the process of disease self-care. Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to the needs of patients in the process of self-care management, provide targeted support and help, and arouse their enthusiasm for self-management.

The interaction between breast cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Cancer-associated fibroblasts are heterogeneous stromal cells that are abundant in the tumor microenvironment. They participate in tumor angiogenesis, treatment resistance and distant metastasis by secreting a variety of cytokines, growth factors and chemokines. It has great potential as a biomarker for targeted therapy and clinical prognosis of breast cancer, and it can also provide new ideas for adjuvant treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To identify the related genes of low-dose ionizing radiation on basis of association analysis of transcriptome and proteome data, and provide new clues for the molecular mechanism of low-dose radiation (LDR) effect.Methods:In March 2018, healthy human peripheral blood was used as materials for transcriptome sequencing and proteome analysis after exposure to radiation at 150 mGy (treatment group) and no radiation (control group) , with three samples in each group. The total RNA and protein were extracted and then correlation analysis of transcriptomic and proteomic were performed to determine LDR effect-related genes, and after that, the biological process and molecular function were analyzed.Results:A total of 486 genes and 266 proteins were identified differentially expressed between treatment group and control group, respectively. Twelve genes and related proteins were found correlated ( P<0.05) . The overall correlation between quantitative protein and gene was low ( r s=0.0034) , the differential gene with the same change trend was positively correlated with protein expression ( r s=0.6786) , and the differential gene with the opposite change trend was negatively correlated with protein expression ( r s=-0.1000) . Seven differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showed the same trend as proteins, among which FBXO7 and SNCA were up-regulated as well as ORM1, ORM2, HIST1H4J, HBZ and LYZ were down-regulated. Five DEGs showed the opposite trend as proteins, including SLC4A1, BCAM, C4B_2, KEL, TGM2 up-regulated in transcription level and down-regulated in protein expression level. These DEGs were involved in various biological processes such as immune system regulation, signal transduction, enzyme activity regulation, transmembrane transport, defense, transcription and DNA repair, which indicated their important roles in response to LDR in human peripheral blood. Conclusion:Twelve candidate genes related to LDR effect and their corresponding expressed proteins are screened by the correlation research of transcriptome and proteome data, which provides new clues for the further study of the mechanism of LDR effect.
