Objectives:To explore the clinical characteristics of children with adenoid hypertrophy (AH) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) by detecting the expression of pepsin in adenoids as a standard for AH with LPR.Methods:A total of 190 children who were admitted for surgical treatment due to AH were included in the study. The main clinical symptoms of the patients were recorded, and the degree of adenoid hypertrophy was evaluated. Before the surgery, Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RFS) were used to evaluate the reflux symptoms. After the surgery, pepsin immunohistochemical staining was performed on the adenoid tissue, and according to the staining results, the patients were divided into study group (pepsin staining positive) and control group (pepsin staining negative). SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Quantitative data conforming to normal distribution between the two groups were tested by two-independent sample t test, and quantitative data with skewed distribution were tested by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The positive rate of pepsin staining in the 190 AH patients was 78.4% (149/190). The study group had higher levels of preoperative symptoms such as erythema and/or congestion of the pharynx(2.1±0.7 vs. 1.8±0.6, t=2.23), vocal cord edema[1.0(0, 1.0) vs. 1.0(0, 1.0), Z=2.00], diffuse laryngeal edema[0(0, 1.0) vs. 0(0, 0), Z=2.48], posterior commissure hypertrophy[(1.4±0.6 vs. 1.1±0.5), t=2.63], and a higher total score on the RFS scale than the control group(6.2±2.7 vs. 5.0±2.6, t=2.47), with statistical differences ( P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of RFS score in diagnosing AH with LPR were 24.8% and 80.5%, respectively. When RFS>5 was used as the positive threshold, the sensitivity and specificity of RFS score in diagnosing AH with LPR were 61.1% and 58.5%, respectively. There was a statistical difference in the number of positive cases of RFS score between the study group and the control group(91 vs. 17, χ2=5.04, P=0.032). Conclusions:LPR is common in AH children. Children with AH and LPR have specific performance in electronic laryngoscopy, such as erythema with edema in the pharynx, posterior commissure hypertrophy, and vocal cord edema.

ObjectiveTo explore the intervention mechanism of Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang in rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) based on the Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2)/Myosin phosphatase target Subunit 1 (MYPT1) pathway. MethodSixty male SD suckling rats in SPF grades were randomly divided into blank group (n=10) and model group (n=50). The comprehensive modeling method (gavage administration of iodoacetamide+exhaustion of swimming+disturbance of hunger and satiety) was used to replicate the rat model of FD. After successful replication of the model, the rats in the model group were randomly divided into model group, mosapride group, and high, middle, and low-dose Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang groups, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the blank group and model group were given 10 mL kg-1·d-1 normal saline, those in the mosapride group were given 1.35 mg·kg-1·d-1 mosapride, and those in the high, middle, and low-dose Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang groups were given 12, 6, and 3 g·kg-1·d-1 Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang, respectively. The intervention lasted 14 days. The general living conditions of rats were observed before and after modeling and administration, and the 3-hour food intake and body mass of rats were measured. After intervention, the intestinal propulsion rate of rats was measured, and the pathological changes in the gastric tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The content of choline acetyl transferase (ChAT) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the medulla oblongata and gastric tissue homogenate was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the distribution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enzyme in gastric antrum smooth muscle was observed by frozen section staining, and the protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK2, and phosphorylated-myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 (p-MYPT1) in the gastric tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group had withered hair, lazy movement, slow action, poor general living condition, lower 3-hour food intake, body mass, and lower intestinal propulsion rate (P<0.05), whereas no obvious abnormality in gastric histopathology. In the model group, the content of ChAT in the medulla oblongata and gastric tissue decreased, the content of VIP in gastric tissue increased, the distribution of ATP enzyme in gastric antrum smooth muscle decreased significantly, and the protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK2, and p-MYPT1 in the gastric tissue decreased significantly (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the general living condition of rats in each intervention group was significantly improved, and the 3-hour food intake, body mass, and intestinal propulsion rate were significantly increased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gastric pathology in the intervention groups. The content of ChAT in the medulla oblongata and gastric tissue increased significantly, the content of VIP in the gastric tissue decreased, the distribution of ATP enzyme in gastric antrum smooth muscle increased significantly, and the protein expression levels of RhoA, ROCK2, and p-MYPT1 in the gastric tissue increased significantly (P<0.05). The intervention effect of Xiangsha Liujunzi Tang group on the above indexes was dose-dependent. ConclusionXiangsha Liujunzi Tang can effectively improve the general living condition and gastric motility of rats with FD, and its specific mechanism may be related to the activation of the RhoA/ROCK2/MYPT1 pathway in the gastric tissue to regulate smooth muscle relaxation and contraction and promote gastric motility.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk (NRS2002) and malnutrition inhospitalized stroke patient and their nutritional intervention. Methods The stroke patients admitted to three de-partments of vascular neurology ward including cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemor-rhage in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were recruited using cluster sampling. Nutri-tional risk screening 2002 ( NRS 2002) was used to screen the nutritional risk of inpatients Malnutrition was as-sessed by criteria:(1) body mass index (BMI) <18. 5 kg/m2 with poorer general condition from January 2018 to January 2019;(2) Global leadership initiative on malnutrition ( GLIM) criteria were used except whole body muscle mass measurement from October 2018 to January 2019. The nutritional intervention for patients were closely observed during hospitalization. Results A total of 1532 patients were registered and1036 patients were included in the final analysis considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The prevalence of nutritional risk was 33. 0% ( 342/1036) . The prevalence of malnutrition based on BMI and GLIM criteria was 0. 9%( 9/1036) and 2. 5% (10/393) respectively. Among the 342 patients with nutritional risk, 112 patients received nutritional support therapy by tube feeding, but only 29 patients received nutritional support that met guideline standards. 81 patients received not standard nutritional support, and 2 patients received highly unregulated nutritional sup-port. No patients received sugar and electrolyte infusion, oral nutritional supplements ( ONS) , oral nutritional a-gents and compound nutrition intervention. The other 230 patients took hospital diet. Conclusion The prevalence of nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or subarachnoid hemorrhage was high, and the prevalence of malnutrition was extremely low. There was a low proportion of nutri-tional support. High quality of large sample cohort studies will be conducted to show whether reasonable applica-tion of nutritional support therapy in patients with nutritional risk can improve patient outcome.

Objective To evaluated the effectiveness and influence of a pay for performance incentive program on the comprehensive management in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods The large-sample prospective study recruited 1359 eligible adult patients who were residents and had health record from three community health centers of Shanghai Jiading District. The method of randomized complete block design was used to classify the subjects into 4 groups. The physicians incentive group included 337 subjects, while the patients incentive group 338 subjects, the physicians and patients incentive group 331 subjects, the control group which the physicians and the patients would not have the incentive 353 subjects respectively. We established a cooperative pathway between community health care centers and general hospital, trained community health workers, equipped with the necessary clinical drugs, and finally, the Advance System for Diabetes Management system was used to carry out the tele-medicine. The type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, which were set goal in blood glucose and blood pressure control, managed by the general practitioners, the daily health behavior of the patients were regulated. All subjects in the patients incentive groups received the incentives if they can obtain or/and maintain the ideal level of HbA1C during the 2-years study period. The control group would not receive any incentives but would be provided with diabetes education booklet and group educational courses for diabetes mellitus control as usual. Results After 12 months and 24 months, HbA1C , systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose in the four groups were all lower than baseline levels (P<0. 05), while the time of related exercise parameters and the rate of HbA1C achieving target in the study groups were higher than baseline (P<0. 05). Besides, the time of related exercise, time of moderate exercise intensity, time of strenuous exercise intensity, and the rate of HbA1C achieving target ( after 24 months:49. 0%, 53. 2%, 51. 8%, 54. 4%, P<0. 05 ) had statistical significance among the physicians incentive, the patients incentive, the physicians and patients incentive, and the control groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes, the baseline HbA1C , whether using the insulin, taking hypoglycemic drugs are the main factors of the study with statistical significance (all P<0. 05). Conclusions Based on general practitioners-specialist cooperation tele-medicine, by regulating the daily health behavior and using the intervention of pay for performance, the new diabetes care model could improve the treatment effect of type 2 diabetes to some extent, especially the exercise time and its intensity. Besides, the duration of diabetes, the baseline of HbA1C , the using of insulin and hypoglycemic drugs turned out to be the main factors of the study.
