Four pyrazines were isolated from the n-butanol fraction of Hypecoum erectum L. by using various chromatographic methods, including MCI gel, ODS, silica gel and semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified as hyperectpyrazin A (1), 1′S-(6-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-ethane-1′,2′-diol (2), 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylpyrazin (3) and pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (4) by spectroscopy methods (1D NMR, 2D NMR, UV, IR, MS, etc.). The absolute configuration of compound 2 was determined by using the Mo₂(OAc)₄ induced CD analysis for the first time. Compound 1 was a new compound, compounds 2-4 were isolated from H. erectum for the first time. Compounds 1-4 were evaluated for their inhibition against acetylcholinesterase and nitric oxide generation induced by lipopolysaccharide-RAW264.7 macrophage cells. At a concentration of 50 μmol·L^-1, compounds 2 and 4 displayed inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase with the inhibition rates of 44.40% and 43.99%, respectively.

  Objective  To establish a model that can predict the occurrence of acute kidney disease (AKD) in liver cirrhotic patients and evaluate its performance.  Methods  Liver cirrhotic patients who hospitalized in the department of gastroenterology of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2017 to January 2022 were retrospectively included. They were divided into AKD and non-AKD groups according to whether they were combined with AKD during hospitalization, and were randomized into training and validation sets in a 7∶3 ratio. The clinical data of patients in the two groups were collected, and LASSO regression and multifactorial Logistic regression were used to screen the influencing factors for the occurrence of AKD in patients with liver cirrhosis and to establish a prediction model. The model was then evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic curve, the calibration curve and the clinical decision curve.  Results  A total of 796 cases of liver cirrhotic patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. Among them, 103 cases were in the AKD group and 693 cases were in the non-AKD group; 561 cases were in the training set and 235 cases were in the validation set. The results of LASSO regression and multifactorial Logistic regression showed that a history of diabetes (OR=2.922, 95% CI: 1.290-6.564, P=0.009), hepatic encephalopathy (OR=6.210, 95% CI: 2.278-17.479, P < 0.001), gastrointestinal bleeding (OR=2.501, 95% CI: 1.236-5.073, P=0.011), ascites (OR=3.219, 95% CI: 1.664-6.539, P < 0.001), male (OR=0.477, 95% CI: 0.254-0.879, P=0.019), hemoglobin (OR=0.987, 95% CI: 0.975-0.999, P=0.044), albumin (OR=0.952, 95% CI: 0.911-0.991, P=0.023), and prothrombin time (OR=0.865, 95% CI: 0.779-0.920, P < 0.001) were the independent influences on the occurrence of AKD in liver cirrhotic patients, and were used to construct a prediction model. The area under the curve of the model in the training set and validation set for predicting the occurrence of AKD in liver cirrhotic patients was 0.895 (95% CI: 0.865-0.925) and 0.869 (95% CI: 0.807-0.930), respectively. The calibration curves showed that the model had good fit and consistency and the clinical decision curves showed that the use of the model for predicting the risk of AKD could benefit liver cirrhotic patients overall.  Conclusions  A prediction model for the occurrence of AKD in liver cirrhotic patients was established based on eight influencing factors, including gender, history of diabetes, and hepatic encephalopathy. It was validated to have good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility, and is expected to assist in the clinical early screening and identification of liver cirrhosis-associated AKD.

Objective To investigate the implementation of surveillance,prevention and control measures for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in maternal and child healthcare(MCH)institutions,and provide policy evi-dence for optimizing HAI prevention and control in MCH institutions.Methods Stratified sampling was conducted among the MCH institutions at provincial,municipal and county levels in 8 provinces/autonomous regions.A uni-fied questionnaire was designed and the online survey was conducted through"Questionnaire Star".Results The data from 123 MCH institutions were included in the analysis.90.24％of the MCH institutions carried out compre-hensive surveillance on HAI.The ratios of MCH institutions which implemented targeted surveillance on HAI in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),surgical site infection,multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)and HAI in intensive care units(non-NICU excluded)were 89.66％,85.96％,80.77％,and 74.19％,respectively.51.22％MCH institutions adopted information surveillance system on HAI cases.94.31％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on hand hygiene compliance.Over 90％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on environment hy-giene in high-risk departments.71.54％MCH institutions conducted centralized cleaning,disinfection,sterilization and supply for reusable medical instruments in the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Over 90％MCH insti-tutions established three-level pre-examination triage systems.86.18％set up transitional wards.MCH institutions generally adopted a management model with established effective communication,full appointment visits,and sepa-rate visits for special medical groups,such as registered pregnant women,high-risk newborns,healthcare groups,and long-term rehabilitation patients.However,the ratio of institutions conducting on-line follow-up visits was less than 50％.Conclusion MCH institutions have generally carried out comprehensive and targeted surveillance on HAI.Information surveillance need to be facilitated.Hand hygiene and environmental hygiene surveillance has been popularized to a certain extent at all levels of MCH institutions.The cleaning,disinfection,sterilization,and supply processes of reusable medical devices in a few MCH institutions are not standardized.Special medical populations get effective management.On-line healthcare is to be further promoted.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of esketamine injection combined with sufentanil injection for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)after fracture surgery in children.Methods Children scheduled for elective limb fracture incision and internal fixation were randomly divided into control group and treatment group.The control group was given 2 μg·kg-1 sufentanil for PCIA;the treatment group was given 1.0 mg·kg-1 esketamine combined with 1.5 μg·kg-1 sufentanil for PCIA.Background dose of 2 groups:2 mL·h-1,single dose of 2 mL each time,locking time of 15 min,total volume of 100 mL.The facial expression,leg movement,mobility,crying,consolability scale(FLACC)scores and Ramsay sedation scores,analgesic drug consumption and PCIA compression times within 48 h after operation,and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups at different time points after operation.Results Forty subjects enrolled in the treatment group,1 dropped out,and 39 were finally included in the statistical analysis;40 subjects enrolled in the control group,2 dropped out,and 38 were finally included in the statistical analysis.After treatment,the FLACC scores of treatment group at 2,4,6,12,24 and 48 h after operation were(4.75±0.93),(2.50±0.97),(1.75±0.93),(2.06±1.18),(1.13±0.62)and(0.50±0.63)points,which in control group were(6.13±1.13),(3.80±1.21),(2.87±0.64),(3.47±1.13),(1.87±0.92)and(1.27±0.80)points,and there were significant differences in the two groups(all P＜0.05).The Ramsay sedation scores of treatment and control groups at 2 hours after operation were(2.25±0.45)and(1.47±0.52)points;the number of effective PCIA compressions within 24 hours was 4.25±3.94 and 8.13±5.71;the amount of analgesic drugs used within 24 hours after surgery was(52.38±9.11)and(61.47±12.82)mL;the amount of analgesic drugs used within 48 hours after surgery was(88.81±14.31)and(94.60±5.93)mL,respectively;and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions of two groups were mainly dizziness,nausea and vomiting.The total incidences of adverse drug reactions in treatment and control groups were 53.85％and 84.21％with significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Esketamine injection combined with sufentanil injection can reduce postoperative pain intensity,improve analgesic sedation effect and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions of analgesic pump after fracture surgery in children.

Objective This study aimed to comprehensively analyze and compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis of Chinese patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-low early breast cancer(BC)and HER2-IHC0 BC. Methods Patients diagnosed with HER2-negative BC(N=999)at our institution between January 2011 and December 2015 formed our study population.Clinicopathological characteristics,association between estrogen receptor(ER)expression and HER2-low,and evolution of HER2 immunohistochemical(IHC)score were assessed.Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the long-term survival outcomes(5-year follow-up)between the HER2-IHC0 and HER2-low groups. Results HER2-low BC group tended to demonstrate high expression of ER and more progesterone receptor(PgR)positivity than HER2-IHC0 BC group(P<0.001).The rate of HER2-low status increased with increasing ER expression levels(Mantel-Haenszel χ2 test,P<0.001,Pearson's R=0.159,P<0.001).Survival analysis revealed a significantly longer overall survival(OS)in HER2-low BC group than in HER2-IHC0 group(P=0.007)in the whole cohort and the hormone receptor(HR)-negative group.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of disease-free survival(DFS).The discordance rate of HER2 IHC scores between primary and metastatic sites was 36.84%. Conclusion HER2-low BC may not be regarded as a unique BC group in this population-based study due to similar clinicopathological features and prognostic roles.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen in treatment of patients with refractory/relapse acute myeloid leukemia(R/R AML).Methods:The study was a singlecenter prospective clinical trial.The enrolled patients met the criteria for R/R AML.Treatment included Azacidine(75mg/m2,d1-7),Ara-C(75-100 mg/m2,q12h,d1-5),Aclacinomycin(20 mg d1,d3,d5),Chidamide(30 mg d1,d4),Venetoclax(100 mg d1,200 mg d2,400 mg d3-d14,in combination with Triazole Drug,reduced to 100 mg/d),and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(300 μg/d until neutrophil recovery).The primary endpoint of observation was overall response rate after 1 course of treatment.Results:A total of 19 patients were enrolled from January 2022 to April 2023.After 1 course of treatmen,the overall response rate was 81.3％(13/16),the CR rate was 68.8％(11/16),and the PR was 12.5％(2/16).Among the 11 patients who got CR/CRi,8 cases achieved CRm(minimal residual disease negative CR)and 3 cases did not.As of March 27,2023,the median follow-up time was 111(19-406)days.The six-month overall survival and progression-free survival rates were both 55.7％,the 1-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 46.4％and 47.7％,respectively.In addition,compared with the non-CRm group,CRm patients had a better PFS(377 days vsi11 days,P=0.046).Treatment-related adverse events were mainly 3-4 degrees of bone marrow suppression,complicated by various degrees of infection(n=12),hypokalemia(n=12)and hypocalcemia(n=10)and elevated liver enzymes(n=8),of which 3/4 degrees accounted for 47.4％(9/19).Conclusion:The Venetoclax combined with CACAG regimen is an effective salvage therapy for patients with R/R AML,with high remission rate and safety profile.

Objective:To understand the etiology,clinical characteristics and prognosis of secondary hemophagocytic syndrome(HLH),so as to improve the understanding of HLH and reduce the rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of HLH.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the cause,clinical characteristics,laboratory findings,therapy and outcomes of 75 adult patients with secondary HLH admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to December 2021.Follow-up continued until the last discharge time.Results:Among 75 patients,infection-related HLH was the most common(45.33％),followed by lymphoma-related HLH(17.33％).Fever was the most common clinical manifestation(97.67％).Laboratory indicators such as NK cell activity(98.31％low or absent),sCD25(93.22％increased),and serum ferritin(94.44％elevated)had higher sensitivity in diagnosis.By comparing the clinical manifestations and laboratory indicators of HLH patients with different causes,sex,lymph node enlargement and bone marrow morphology were more valuable for the diagnosis of primary disease(all P＜0.05).By comparing the treatment and clinical outcomes of HLH patients with different causes,the highest clinical remission rate(83.3％)was achieved in patients with autoimmune disease-related HLH treated with hormone+cyclosporine(P＜0.05).The overall 12-month survival rate of all patients was 26.7％,in which the infection-related HLH was the lowest(14.7％)while autoimmune disease-related HLH was the highest(63.6％).Conclusion:The causes and clinical characteristics of adult secondary HLH are varied,with poor prognosis and heterogeneity in disease severity.It is important to identify HLH cause early for diagnosis and needed to further understand HLH.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis(HLH)with acute kidney injury(AKI).Methods:EBV-HLH patients who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were collected,and their clinical characteristics,treatment,concurrent acute kidney injury and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:In this study,the incidence of AKI complicated by EBV-HLH was 65.5％,and the 28-day mortality rate was 15.3％.Compared with non-AKI group,patients in the AKI group had higher levels of bilirubin,lactate dehydrogenase,creatinine,urea nitrogen,and β2-microglobulin(β2-MG),poorer coagulation,and lower soluble IL-2 receptor(sCD25).Patients in the AKI group had a higher proportion of chemotherapy,transplantation,mechanical ventilation,and the application of vasoactive medications,and were hospitalized for longer periods of time,with higher in-hospital mortality rates and 28-day mortality rates.Patients in the AKI group were analyzed in subgroups according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes(KDIGO)classification,and the levels of leukocytes,bilirubin,albumin,creatinine,urea nitrogen,β2-MG,activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),and prothrombin time activity(PTA)were more responsive to the severity of the patient's condition.KDIGO grade 2 and 3 had higher proportions of receiving transplants,diuretics,organ support(mechanical ventilation,application of vasoactive medications,and renal replacement therapy),and admissions to the intensive care unit(ICU),and with higher in-hospital mortality rates and 28-day mortality rates.Regression analysis found that creatinine,β2-MG,APTT,transplantation,and chemotherapy were independent risk factors for the development of AKI;the application of vasoactive drugs was both an independent risk factor for the development of AKI and for death at 28 days;and chemotherapy,length of hospitalization,and HGB and fibrinogen levels were protective factors for death at 28 days.Conclusion:AKI in EBV-HLH has high incidence and high rate of progression to severe disease and death,early attention should be given and strengthened in order to carry out early treatment and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objectives:To understand the current situation of the sense of uselessness of the elderly in China and the impact of Internet use on the sense of uselessness of the elderly,exploring the moderating role of age and social participation in it,so as to provide empirical evidence for improving the mental health of the elderly and promoting active aging.Method:T-test and analysis of variance were used for univariate analysis,multiple linear regression was used for multivariate analysis,and point selection and Johnson Neyman methods were used to analyze the moderating effects of age and social participation.Results:At present,the level of the sense of uselessness of the elderly in China is relatively high.Internet use affects the sense of uselessness of the elderly(b=-0.10,P<0.001);With the increase of age and the level of social participation,the alleviating effect of Internet use on the sense of uselessness of the elderly has gradually weakened(b=0.01,P<0.05;b=0.02,P<0.01).Internet use can alleviate the sense of uselessness of the elderly and is regulated by age and social participation.It is suggested that the Internet access intervention should be carried out as soon as possible for the elderly at a lower age,and the elderly with a lower level of social participation should be focused,so as to play the positive role of the Internet in reducing the sense of uselessness of the elderly and improving their mental health.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the current status of affiliate stigma among parents of autistic children, analyze the influencing factors, explore the relationship among mindfulness, coping styles, and affiliate stigma, and verify the mediating role of coping styles between mindfulness and affiliate stigma in parents of children with autism in China.MethodBetween February and April 2023, the Child Development Behaviour Centre of a public hospital in China recruited 345 parents of children with autism. These parents completed the general information questionnaire, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Affiliate Stigma Scale, and the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire. We then adapted the Hayes Process Macro and Bootstrap methods to examine the mediating effects of coping styles between mindfulness and affiliate stigma. Results: (1) The total affiliate stigma score of parents of children with autism was 48.53 (standard deviation:: 10.74). Parents' age, monthly family income, duration of care, mindfulness, and coping styles were the influencing factors of parental affiliate stigma. (2) Mindfulness was positively correlated with positive coping style (r = 0.33, p < .01) and negatively correlated with negative coping style, affiliate stigma (r = −0.38, −0.39, p < .01), whereas affiliate stigma was negatively correlated with positive coping style (r = −0.34, p < .01) and positively correlated with negative coping style (r = 0.41, p < .01). (3) Positive coping style and negative coping style play a parallel mediating role between mindfulness and affiliate stigma of parents of autistic children. Conclusions Parents of children with autism experience significant levels of affiliate stigma. Mindfulness has a direct impact on associated stigma in parents of children with autism and also indirectly predicts associated stigma through the intermediary influence of positive and negative coping styles. Healthcare professionals could perform mindfulness interventions from an optimistic psychology viewpoint to boost parents' mindfulness and coping abilities, thereby accomplishing the objective of mitigating affiliate stigma.
