1.Research progress of diabetes mellitus complicated with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
Tianjin Medical Journal 2024;52(2):220-224
In recent years,the results of epidemiological research findings on chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(CIDP)in patients with diabetes mellitus(DM)are quite different,and its correlation is still controversial.Nevertheless,due to the high incidence and treatability of CIDP in DM patients,accurate diagnosis and differentiation of DM-CIDP are of great value for guiding clinical drug use.In terms of clinical manifestations,it can be distinguished by age of onset,disease duration,blood glucose control level and main symptom characteristics.Supplementary diagnostic methods frequently involve evaluating cerebrospinal fluid protein levels,demyelination patterns in electrophysiological tests and neuroimaging studies.Additionally,neuropathological examination and specific serum antibodies can provide more diagnostic support for distinguishing DM-CIDP.Furthermore,a positive response to immunomodulatory and/or immunosuppressive therapies supports the diagnosis of DM-CIDP.By comprehensively evaluating clinical manifestations,electrophysiological characteristics,laboratory tests,neuropathology,imaging,and treatment responses,the accuracy of the differential diagnosis for DM-CIDP can be improved.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the efficacy and safety of hetrombopag combined with low-dose prednison in the treatment of patients with refractory/recurrent primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP).
METHODS
A total of 40 patients with ITP who failed to respond to previous treatment or relapsed in the Department of Hematology of Gansu Provincial People’s Hospital From July 2021 to August 2022 were selected. Used randomized controlled trial research methods, according to the treatment plan, they were divided into observation group and control group, with 20 cases in each group. The control group was treated with low-dose prednison alone. The observation group was combined with hetrombopag treatment on this basis. The efficacy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS
Treatment 6 weeks, patients who's proportion of platelet counts(PLT) reached≥50×109·L−1 and ≥30×109·L−1 in observation group were higher than control group with statistically significant differences in both groups[90%(18/20) vs 50%(10/20), P=0.006; 90%(18/20) vs 65%(13/20), P=0.130]; The study also indicated a statistically significant difference in favour of observation group compared with control group in the odds of achieving the outcome of a PLT≥50×109·L−1at least once during 6-week treatment[90%(18/20) vs 55%(11/20), P=0.147], was more than placebo-treated one. The median time of PLT ≥ 50×109·L−1 for the first time within 6 weeks of treatment in the observation group was 3 weeks, which was the same as that in the control group. After 6 weeks of treatment, the median platelet count in the observation group was higher than that in the control group[97.50(58.25−166.75)×109·L−1 vs 45.50(13.25−82.50)×109·L−1 , P<0.05]. The median PLT count in the observation group was higher than that in the control group at week 1−6 after treatment, and the curative effect was significant. The two groups of patients tolerated the regimen well, and the degree of adverse reactions was mild, which improved quickly after symptomatic treatment.
CONCLUSION
Hetrombopag combined with low-dose prednison has a high effective rate in the treatment of refractory/recurrent ITP, which is better than that of single use, and the adverse reactions are tolerable, so it can be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the current state of missed nursing care during labor, explore the reasons why nursing care was missed, and examine the influencing factors of missed nursing care.Methods:Data were collected from 14 medical institutions of different levels in southwest China using a convenience sampling from February to April, 2023. A total of 491 midwives were included. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Perinatal Missed Care. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors on missed nursing care.Results:Among 491 midwives, there are 6 males and 485 females. 194 midwives aged ≤ 30, 205 midwives aged 31-40 years, and 92 midwives aged ≥41 years. 80.45%(395/491) of midwives reported missing at least one item of nursing care during labor in the past week, and the missing rate of single item ranged from 13.24% (65/491) to 53.36% (262/491). The average score across 23 items of missed nursing care during labor was 1.49 ± 0.58. The average scores of items spanning the three dimensions of basic care, necessary care and postnatal care were 1.67 ± 0.68, 1.36 ± 0.56, and 1.51 ± 0.70, respectively. The average score of 13 items representing reasons for missed nursing care was 1.82 ± 0.71. The average scores of items in three dimensions of communication, labor resources, and material resources were 1.75 ± 0.73, 1.97 ± 0.87, and 1.74 ± 0.83, respectively. The multiple linear regression analyses showed that gender, monthly average income level, and whether overtime hours were included in total working hours were independently associated with missed nursing care (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The current state of missed nursing care during labor needs to be improved. Missed basic care is common, and labor resources are the significant reasons, and is influenced by factors such as demographic and sociological factors. Human resource factors are an important reason for nursing deficiency, and targeted measures should be taken to reduce the occurrence of nursing deficiency.

Objective:To observe the effects of 0.01% atropine eye drops on ocular biometrics in myopic adolescents.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted.Two hundred and nineteen myopic adolescents who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to June 2017 and completed the 1-year follow-up on time were enrolled.The 219 adolescents were divided into a 0.01% atropine+ single-vision spectacles (SV) group (119 cases) wearing single-vision spectacles with one drop of atropine eye drop applied to both eyes once nightly, and a simple SV group (100 cases) wearing SV only.Axial length (AL), corneal power and anterior chamber depth were measured with the IOLMaster.Lens power was calculated using the Bennett-Rabbetts formula.Intraocular pressure was measured by non-contact tonometry.Spherical equivalent (SE) was examined by cycloplegic autorefraction.Total astigmatism and corneal astigmatism were calculated by vector decomposition.The right eye data were analyzed to compare the ocular biometrics changes between the two groups, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2016-35). Written informed consent was obtained from guardians before any medical examination.Results:The SE change and AL elongation 12 months after treatment in 0.01% atropine+ SV group were (-0.47±0.45) D and (0.37±0.22) mm, respectively, which were significantly lower than (-0.70±0.60)D and (0.46±0.35)mm in simple SV group ( t=5.523, 9.651; both at P<0.001). There were significant differences in SE and AL between before and after treatment in both groups (SE: Fgroup=1.556, P=0.015; Ftime=12.538, P=0.002; AL: Fgroup=3.425, P=0.021; Ftime=18.235, P=0.008). The SE and AL at 4, 8 and 12 months after treatment were all increased in comparison with before treatment in both groups, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The SE and AL at 8 and 12 months after treatment in 0.01% atropine+ SV group were smaller than in simple SV group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.001). At 8 and 12 months after treatment, total astigmatism and the anterior chamber depth were increased and the lens power was decreased in comparison with before treatment in both groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in corneal astigmatism, corneal power and intraocular pressure at different time points before and after treatment between the two groups (all at P>0.05). In the multiple linear regression analysis, an equation of Δmyopic SE=-0.012-2.685×ΔAL-1.002×Δcorneal astigmatism-0.656×Δlens power+ 0.477×Δtotal astigmatism+ 0.363×Δanterior chamber depth-0.060×age+ 0.011×sex was used, showing the change of SE was mainly caused by the change of AL ( β=-2.685), then corneal power, lens power, total astigmatism and anterior chamber depth. Conclusions:In adolescents, 0.01% atropine eye drops can effectively retard myopia progression and axial elongation, showing no effect on astigmatism, corneal power, lens power, anterior chamber depth and intraocular pressure.The controlling effect of 0.01% atropine eye drops in the development of myopia is mainly achieved by reducing axial elongation.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory bowel disease which primarily affects the colonic mucosa. The UC patients mainly present diarrhea, abdominal pain, tenesmus, and mucous bloody stools, and even malnutrition and systemic symptoms in severe cases, with rising incidence, which has a significant impact on the health and quality of life of patients. The pathogenesis of UC is not clear, and the Western medical therapies include sulfasalazine, glucocorticoids, and immunosuppressants, which, however, have side effects and unsatisfactory effects. Chinese medicine with high safety, mild adverse reactions, and a multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway treatment manner has garnering increasing attention. Therefore, finding the Chinese medicine to treat UC has become a hot spot. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is one of the commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, with the effects of tonifying spleen and reinforcing qi, clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling phlegm and relieving cough, relieving pain, and harmonizing medicines. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma mainly contains glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, diammonium glycyrrhizinate and other active ingredients. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory activities. According to statistics, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is among the top three Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment of UC. The recent years have witnessed progress in the treatment of UC with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and the related prescriptions.

Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a common and intractable disease in the digestive system characterized by the reduction or disappearance of gastric mucosal glands. The intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia in CAG is called precancerous lesion, which greatly increases the risk of cancerization. Dysactivation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammatory corpuscles can release a large number of inflammatory factors, induce inflammatory cascade reactions, and participate in the process of many diseases. As reported, the dysactivation of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles can cause long-term chronic inflammatory infiltration of gastric mucosa and induce the development of CAG. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by mitochondrial dysfunction is the key to activating NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles. Professor LIU Youzhang put forward the theory of "spleen-mitochondrion correlation", which holds that the spleen mainly transports water and grains, generates qi and blood, transports nutrients to the whole body, and supplies energy and materials needed by the body. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generated by mitochondria through the circulation of tricarboxylic acid is the main energy source of the human body. The view that both of them serve as human energy processing plants coincides in terms of physiology. Pathologically, spleen deficiency is associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction. Pathological products such as dampness, turbidity, phlegm, and blood stasis due to failure in transportation because of spleen deficiency are consistent with metabolites generated by mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the theory of "spleen-mitochondrion correlation", this study discussed the pathogenesis of CAG in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), analyzed the relationship between NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles and the pathogenesis of CAG, and proposed that the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles by mitochondrial dysfunction was the modern biological basis of the pathogenesis of spleen deficiency in CAG. The spleen-strengthening method may be related to improving the mitochondrial function and inflammatory response of patients with CAG and alleviating the damage of gastric mucosa, providing a new idea for TCM in the prevention and treatment of CAG.

Objective:To investigate the early efficacy and safety of pomalidomide-based regimen in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with relapsed/refractory MM treated with pomalidomide-based regimen who were admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2021 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the early efficacy and safety were also evaluated.Results:There were 8 males and 7 females, and the median age of onset of 15 patients was 60 years (43-83 years); the median time for the diagnosis of relapse and refractory was 15 months (4-84 months). All 15 patients previously received bortezomib-based treatment regimens, 9 patients previously received lenalidomide treatment, and 7 cases received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. All patients received pomalidomide-based regimen combined with two-drug or three-drug regimen (pomalidomide combined with bortezomib,daratumumab,bendamustine, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide or lenalidomide). The median treatment cycle was 2 cycles (2-4 cycles). After 2 cycles of treatment, the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated; the overall response rate was 73% (11/15), including 3 cases of complete remission, 3 cases of very good partial remission, and 5 cases of partial remission. Hematological toxicity occurred in 9 patients, of which 5 cases had grade 3-4 hematological toxicity, 4 cases had grade 1-2 hematological toxicity, and other adverse reactions were mild and tolerable.Conclusion:Pomalidomide-based regimen is effective and safe for relapsed/refractory MM patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of BeEAM (bendamustine+cytarabine+etoposide+melphalan) regimen in pretreatment of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with lymphoma.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with lymphoma who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after pretreatment with BeEAM regimen from January 2020 to February 2021 in Gansu Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The transplant-related adverse reactions and hematopoietic reconstitution were evaluated.Results:During the pretreatment process of 15 patients, 13 patients had gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, 2 patients had hypokalemia, and 1 patient had abnormal liver function, but all of them were grade 1-2, and no grade 3-4 adverse reactions occurred. One patient had poor platelet implantation, and the remaining 14 patients all achieved hematopoietic reconstruction. After transplantation, the median time of peripheral blood neutrophils and platelets good implantation in patients was 10 d (9-14 d) and 11 d (9-17 d), respectively. Until March 2021, all patients were alive during follow-up.Conclusions:The efficacy of BeEAM regimen in pretreatment of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with lymphoma is good, and the adverse reactions are tolerable.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of PELP1/MNAR expression with expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), Ki-67, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and PIK3CA gene mutation.Methods:A total of 80 paraffin-embedded tissue specimens of primary invasive breast cancer patients in the Fifth People's Hospital of Datong in Shanxi Province from January 2008 to December 2018 were collected. The expression of PELP1/MNAR was examined by immunohistochemistry EliVision tow-step method. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Sanger sequencing method was used to detect the mutation of PIK3CA gene. The expressions of PELP1/MNAR among patients with different expression status of ER, Ki-67, HER2 and with or without PIK3CA gene mutation were compared, and the correlations between each index and the expression of PELP1/MNAR were analyzed.Results:The high expression rates of PELP1/MNAR protein in patients with ER-positive [86.1% (31/36) vs. 59.1% (26/44)], Ki-67 high expression [100.0% (13/13) vs. 65.7% (44/67)], HER2-positive [81.0% (34/42) vs. 60.5% (23/38)] were high, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the high expression rate of PELP1/MNAR protein between patients with mutant and wild-type PIK3CA [60.0% (12/20) vs. 75.0% (45/60), P = 0.199]. The expression of PELP1/MNAR was negatively correlated with the expression level of ER ( r = -0.195, P < 0.05), positively correlated with the expression level of Ki-67 ( r = 0.198, P < 0.05), positively correlated with the expression level of HER2 ( r = 0.225, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with lymph node metastasis ( r = -0.269, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The expression of PELP1/MNAR in invasive breast cancer is negatively correlated with the expression level of ER, and positively correlated with the expression level of Ki-67 and HER2. There is no correlation between PELP1/MNAR expression and PIK3CA gene mutation, and the two may play their own role in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR regulatory pathway of breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the effect of mobile health (mHealth) management system on dietary behavior of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, CHD patients who were hospitalized in Department of Cardiology of Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected as the research objects from June 2019 to January 2020. The research objects were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group using SAS software. Finally, 68 cases in the intervention group and 66 cases in the control group completed the study. The intervention group received mhealth management, while the control group received routine management, and they were followed up to 1 month after discharge. The proportion of patients with the low-salt and low-oil diet, the intake of salt, oil, staple food, vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, poultry and eggs, BMI and blood pressure were compared between the two groups.Results:At 1 month follow-up, the intervention group was better than the control group in terms of low salt and low oil diet, salt intake, oil intake and vegetable intake compliance, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . At 1 month follow-up, there were no statistically significant differences in BMI and blood pressure between two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The mobile health system can effectively increase the proportion of patients with a low-salt and low-oil diet, and improve the intake compliance of salt, edible oil and vegetables in patients with CHD. In future studies, the intervention time should be extended to further explore the long-term intervention effect of mobile health and give full play to the role of mobile health in continuous behavior management of patients with CHD after discharge.
