With the progress of high-throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatics,and deepening understanding of immune system,immunomics has evolved from initially deciphering gene sequences of B cell receptor(BCR)and T cell receptor(TCR)to unraveling and mapping interactions between host immune system and antigens,as well as panorama of host immune system response mechanisms,which now encompasses various research areas,such as antigen epitopeomics,immunogenomics,immunopro-teomics,antibodyomics and immunoinformatics.Based on a large amount of immunological research data,immunological databases such as ImmPort,VDJdb and IEDB have been established to accelerate discovery of new antigen epitopes and study of immune response mechanisms.Immunomics has revealed the association between immune system and diseases,promoted the development of novel vac-cines and immunotherapeutic strategies,and effectively drove the development of personalized medicine and precision medicine.In recent years,integration of immunome with exposome and fusion it with artificial intelligence will have a significant impact on compre-hensively understanding immune system's response and regulatory mechanisms to environmental factors,as well as deciphering molecular mechanisms underlying disease occurrence and progression.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the hyperacusis scale and estimate its applicability in the Chinese population.Methods The patients admitted to the Department of Oto-laryngology of Xijing Hospital from June 2017 to December 2017 were surveyed.A total of 300 questionnaires were sent out and 293 valid questionnaires were collected with effective response rate of 97.67％.All participants comple-ted a basic information survey,pure tone audiometry and fill in the Chinese version of the hyperacusis scale.The re-liability and validity of this scale were evaluated.Results Among the 293 respondents,243(82.93％)were compli-cated with tinnitus.A total of 181 cases(61.77％)were subjectively diagnosed with hyperacusis through question-naire survey.According to the scale evaluation,174 cases(59.39％)were diagnosed with hyperacusis,and the Kappa value of conformity test of the two methods was 0.81(P＜0.001).Reliability analysis indicated a Cronbach'sα coefficient of 0.93 for the entire scale.Each dimension had a Cronbach's α coefficient＞0.60.The split-half relia-bility coefficient for the entire scale was 0.86,and for each dimension,it was＞0.60.Exploratory factor analysis of validity suggested that 25 items could be grouped under 4 factors,such as functional part,social part,emotional part and harmonic sensitivity part.These factors had eigenvalues greater than 1,accounting for 59.42％of the total variance.Post-rotation,the 25 items were distributed across the 4 components,with each item having a factor load-ing＞0.40.Confirmatory factor analysis of validity showed model fit parameters as:x2/df=1.98,GFI=0.91,AGFI=0.83,CFI=0.92,TLI=0.89,RMSEA=0.08.Each item had a standardized factor loading＞0.40.Con-clusion The Chinese version of the hyperacusis scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity,making it suitable for use among the Chinese population.

During the COVID-19 epidemic, our national guidelines have suggested that surgical patients should wear a mask to decrease the potential transmission of COVID-19 in the operating room, as long as the condition allows. However, so far, there is no study to discuss the influence of wearing a mask on the ventilation and blood oxygenation status in patients of spontaneous breathing with supplementary oxygen through an anesthetic facemask. This is a before-after study in the same patient, and 10 healthy volunteers were recruited, by testing the arterial blood gas parameters at key time points before and after oxygen inhalation to evaluate the effects of two different supplementary oxygen methods ('disposable medical mask + anesthetic facemask' and 'anesthetic facemask only') on the oxygenation of subjects. Our data demonstrated whether wearing a disposable medical mask or not could effectively increase the oxygen supply of the subjects compared with the basic value before oxygen inhalation; however, compared with the group without mask, the arterial oxygen partial (PaO

Objective To investigate the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the risk factors in Jingyuan county of Ningxia Autonomous Region.Methods The population proportionate sampling method was applied to enroll a representative sample of 10 639 adults in Jingyuan county and the study was conducted using questionnaires and physical examinations.A total of 10 553 people were included in the analysis after excluding those with missing data.High-resolution ultrasound was used to examine the liver and fasting blood was collected in the morning for measurement of blood glucose,blood lipid,and uric acid.The participants were divided into two groups of those with and without nonalcoholic fatty liver disease;the difference in blood biochemical indexes between fatty liver and non-fatty liver groups was compared,and the logistic regression model was used to explore the risk factors affecting the prevalence of fatty liver.Results The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was 7.60％.The prevalence of thyroid nodules was higher in men than in women (8.60％ vs.6.82％,x2=1 1.772,P=0.001).The prevalence rate of fatty liver increased with age (x2=57.336,P＜0.001),the prevalence rates among ≥18 years-＜29 years,≥30 years-＜39 years,≥40years-＜49 years,≥50 years-＜59 years,≥60 years-＜69 years,and above 70 years were 2.92％,6.50％,8.81％,9.59％,8.08％,and 4.77％ respectively.The detection rate of overweight,obesity,abdominal obesity,impaired fasting glucose,impaired glucose tolerance,diabetes,hypertension,hyperuricemia,and dyslipidemia were higher in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease group than in the normal group (P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease group had a higher risk for overweight,obesity,abdominal obesity,impaired fasting glucose,impaired glucose tolerance,diabetes,hypertension,hyperurcemia,and dyslipidemia (OR=5.41,12.45,2.99,1.85,2.05,3.30,1.41,2.23,and 1.98).Conclusion The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver in Jingyuan county of Ningxia Autonomous Region was higher.The groups of overweight,obesity,abdominal obesity,impaired fasting glucose,impaired glucose tolerance,diabetes,hypertension,hyperuricemia,and dyslipidemia were high risk factors for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective To investigate the prevalences of the obesity and hypertension in southern mountain regions of Ningxia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among a representative sample of 10 639 adults using questionnaires, physical examinations, and blood pressure measurement in southern mountain areas with a population proportionate sampling method. Results The prevalences of overweight,obesity,central obesity,high percentage of body fat,and hypertension were 33.53%,10.71%,19.50%,27.69%,and 31.57% respectively, which were 30.31%,9.62%,16.70%,24.90%,and 27.61% after age-adjustment in rural areas of Ningxia,and increased with aging(Ptrend<0.05). The prevalences of overweight,obesity,and hypertension were higher in males than those in females(P<0.05),and that of central obesity was higher in females than in males(P=0.003).The prevalences of hypertension in subjects with overweight, obesity, central obesity, high percentage of body fat were 38. 14%, 53.75%,52.69%,and 48.90%,respectively. Body mass index,waist circumference,and percentage of body fat were positively correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure(P<0.05). The multivariable logistic model revealed that the risk of hypertension in different types of obesity increased about 1.5 times. Conclusion There is high prevalence of obesity and hypertension among the adults in southern mountain areas of Ningxia. The prevalence of hypertension in obesity,central obesity,and high percentage of body fat is closed to or more than half of the population investigated.

OBJECTIVE:To compare in vitro percutaneous permeation characteristics of glycyrrhizic acid in 6 kinds of glycyrrhetate creams,and to provide reference for further development and utilization. METHODS:Modified Franz diffusion cell and isolated rat skin were adopted for in vitro percutaneous permeation test. 24 h accumulative permeation of glycyrrhizic acid in 6 kinds of glycyrrhetate creams(monoammonium glycyrrhizinate,diammonium glycyrrhizinate,monopotassium glycyrrhizinate, dipotassium glycyrrhizate,trisodium glycyrrhizinate,disodium glycyrrhetate)were determined by HPLC. The permeation characteristics of 6 kinds of glycyrrhetate creams were evaluated by calculating percutaneous absorption rate. RESULTS:24 h accumulative permeation of 6 kinds of glycyrrhetate in rat skin in descending order was as follows:trisodium glycyrrhizinate (23.933 μ g/cm2)>dipotassium glycyrrhizinate(22.952 μ g/cm2)>disodium glycyrrhizinate(15.424 μ g/cm2)>monopotassium glycyrrhizinate(10.703 μg/cm2)>diammonium glycyrrhizinate(9.557 μg/cm2)>monoammonium glycyrrhizinate(1.621 μg/cm2). The percutaneous permeation rate in descending order was as follows as trisodium glycyrrhizinate [1.010 2 μ g/(cm2·h)]>dipotassium glycyrrhizinate [0.974 5 μg/(cm2·h)]>disodium glycyrrhizinate [0.641 2 μg/(cm2·h)]>diammonium glycyrrhizinate [0.399 9 μg/(cm2·h)]>monopotassium glycyrrhizinate[0.362 8 μg/(cm2·h)]>monoammonium glycyrrhizinate[0.072 6 μg/(cm2·h)]. CONCLUSIONS:The permeation rate of trisodium glycyrrhizinate is the highest among 6 kinds of glycyrrhetate creams in vitro.

Objective To structure the evaluation index system for nursing speciality development (EISNSD) in tertiary hospitals.Methods The evaluation index system for nursing specialty developmentwas established using a Delphi method. The weight coefficient at all levels was calculated by the analytic hierarchy process. The standard value of the index was set by multiple ways including target plan, industry regulation, historical data and so on. A total of 48 departments from three tertiary hospitals in Shanghai were investigated. The reliability and validity of the evaluation indexes were analyzed with Cronbach′s alpha coefficients and Spearman correlation.Results The EISNSD was structured with five primary indexes, 14 secondary indexes and 75 third indexes. The weight coefficients of primary indicators included 0.2859 for talent echelon building, 0.3772 for nursing practice, 0.1095 for teaching level, 0.1444 for scientific research and 0.0830 for the construction of professional training base. The correlation between indexes at all levels and their indexes of higher level was from 0.583 to 0.920 (P<0.01). The reliability of all indexes at all levels was from 0.581 to 0.945 with 0.931 for the reliability of total index.Conclusions The EISNSD in tertiary hospitals is of a strong scientificity and practicability. It can provide the quantiative basis for objective evaluation and continuity management of nursing specialty development of all departments in tertiary hospitals.

Objective To look for more serum biomarkers supporting the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy ( MSA) and providing more evidence for early treatment.Methods All patients and healthy controls were enrolled from January 2011 to March 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Demographic features and biochemical examination results were collected.The t test was used to compare the lipid levels between MSA patients and controls.LSD-t test was used to compare the lipid levels among subtypes of MSA patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors.The relevance between lipid levels and onset age, disease duration and Hoehn & Yahr stage was calculated by Spearman correlation coefficients.Results Participants included 195 MSA patients and 195 age-and gender-matched controls with no neurological diseases.The levels of total cholesterol ((4.33 ±0.90) mmol/L), triglyceride ((1.27 ±0.71) mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein (LDL;(2.70 ±0.76) mmol/L) were significantly lower in patients than in controls ((4.52 ±0.85), (1.47 ± 0.86), (2.85 ±0.71) mmol/L ,t=2.056,2.528 and 2.149 respectively, all P<0.05).The levels of total cholesterol ((4.28 ±0.96) mmol/L) and triglyceride ((1.20 ±0.64) mmol/L) were significantly lower in MSA-P patients than in control group ((4.52 ±0.85), (1.47 ±0.86) mmol/L;LSD-t=1.983, 2.566, both P<0.05).After adjusting for age, gender and histories, the odds ratio ( OR) was 0.31 (95%CI 0.15-0.65, P =0.002 ) for MSA patients in the highest quartile of triglyceride and 0.38 (95%CI 0.17 -0.83,P=0.016) for those in the highest quartile of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), compared with the lowest quartiles.And HDL level was in a significantly positive correlation with onset age (r=0.15, P=0.039).Conclusion Our data suggest that triglyceride and HDL may be associated with the prevalence of MSA, and the lower levels of HDL, the earlier onset of MSA.

Objective To assess the clinical application of iterative reconstruction (IR)in the head and neck CT angiography (CTA).Methods 100 patients who underwent the head and neck CTA examination were divided into Group A and Group B at ran-dom.Each group included 50 patients.Group A was performed the conventional-dose scan method (tube voltage 120 kV,tube cur-rent 300 mAs),and images were reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP);Group B was performed the low-dose scan method [tube voltage 100 kV,dynamic tube current (1 99-399 mAs)],and images were reconstructed with IR.Two experienced radiology physicians reviewed the results of image quality using double blind method,and compared CT dose index volume (CTDIvol)and dose-length product (DLP).Results There were significant differences between radiation dose and image quality of the two groups (P <0.001).Radiation dose of Group B was significantly lower than that of Group A,while image quality of Group B was significantly better than that of Group A.Conclusion In the head and neck CTA applications,compared with FBP,IR recon-struction can reduce radiation dose and improve image quality.
