Objective To investigate the influencing factors associated with the comorbidity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and depression. Methods A case-control study was conducted based on the “Healthcare Big Data Platform” of a tertiary class-A comprehensive hospital in Shandong Province. IBD comorbid with depression was served as the case group and IBD without depression was served as the control group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed by matching the case group with the control group in a ratio of 1:2 according to the age and gender of the patients. Conditional logistic regression model was used to explore the influencing factors associated with the comorbidity of IBD and depression. Results A total of 405 patients with IBD were enrolled in this study, including 270 patients without depression and 135 patients comorbid with depression. The results of conditional logistic regression showed that the use of immunosuppressants (OR=2.84, 95% CI: 1.00-8.07) and glucocorticoids (OR=2.05, 95% CI: 1.17-3.58), dementia (OR=5.20, 95% CI:1.59-17.05), cardiovascular disease (OR=3.58, 95% CI: 1.84-6.98) and cancer (OR=2.63, 95% CI: 1.16-5.95) were associated with the comorbidity of depression and IBD. Conclusion Attention should be paid to the use of immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids in the population of IBD comorbid with depression, and the coexistence of physical diseases such as dementia, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Early prevention and targeted treatment measures should be taken for high-risk populations to reduce their risk of depression and improve their quality of life and health.

AIM: To investigate the effect of the timing of satisfactory sedation with preoperative oral midazolam on anesthesia induction and recovery in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. METHODS: A total of 147 children undergoing elective adenotonsillectomy, with ASA physical status orⅡ, aged 2-7 years were selected from November 2022 to June 2023 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The children were orally administered 0.5 mg/kg midazolam in preoperative waiting area and were divided into 10-20 min (rapid onset, M1 group) and 21-30 min (slow onset, M2 group) based on the satisfactory sedation time, or equal volume of sugar pear drink orally (blank control group, C group). Children in all three groups received a general anesthesia method of propofol+fentanyl combined with sevoflurane induction and sevoflurane maintenance. The primary outcome measures were the induction compliance checklist (ICC) score and the pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) score in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to assess the occurrence of emergence agitation (EA), and the secondary outcome measures included the parental separation anxiety scale (PSAS), sedation Ramsay score, surgery duration, recovery time, PACU stay time, discharge time, the incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE) and other adverse events in the ward. RESULTS: 147 children were included in the result analysis, with 49 cases in each group. The proportion of perfect induction (ICC=0) were significantly higher in two M groups than that in group C (95.9% vs. 91.8% vs. 61.2%, P=0.001). The maximum and average PAED score in PACU in group M1 showed a significantly higher (6.4±5.0 vs. 4.4 ± 4.1, P=0.029; 5.2 ± 4.5 vs. 3.4 ± 3.6, P=0.030), and the incidence of EA was significantly higher than those in group C (10.2% vs. 30.6%, P=0.022), and increased compared to the group M2 (OR= 0.581, 95%CI 0.231-1.463, P=0.354). There was no statistically significant difference in the maximum and average PAED scores, incidence of EA between group M2 and group C (P>0.05). The Ramsay score and PSAS score in two M groups were higher, PACU stay time and recovery time was longer than those in group C (P<0.05). The pain scores in PACU in group M1 was higher than that of group C (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical time, discharge time, the incidence of PRAE and other adverse events in the ward among three groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Preoperative oral midazolam can improve the ICC and PSAS scores of children during induction, but it also leads to prolonged recovery time and PACU retention time. The rapid onset of midazolam did not result in better induction and recovery quality, but instead increased the incidence of EA and postoperative pain score.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by bone microstructure degeneration and bone mass loss, which has a high prevalence and disability rate. Effective prevention and treatment of OP is a major difficulty in the medical community. The nature of OP is that multiple pathological factors lead to the imbalance of human bone homeostasis maintained by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic cell death pathway, and its fundamental cause is cell damage caused by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Studies have shown that ferroptosis is involved in and affects the occurrence and development of OP, which leads to OP by mediating the imbalance of bone homeostasis. Ferroptosis is an adjustable form of programmed cell death. The intervention of ferroptosis can regulate the damage degree and death process of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which is beneficial to maintain bone homeostasis, slow down the development process of OP, improve the clinical symptoms of patients, reduce the risk of disability, and improve their quality of life. However, there are few studies on ferroptosis in OP. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a medical treasure with unique characteristics and great application value in China. It has been widely used in China and has a long history. It has the multi-target and multi-pathway advantages in the treatment of OP, with high safety, few toxic and side effects, and low treatment cost, and has a significant effect in clinical application. The intervention of TCM in ferroptosis to regulate bone homeostasis may be a new direction for the prevention and treatment of OP in the future. This article summarized the regulatory mechanisms related to ferroptosis, discussed the role of ferroptosis in bone homeostasis, and reviewed the current status and progress of active ingredients in TCM compounds and monomers in the regulation of OP through ferroptosis, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the participation of TCM in the prevention and treatment of OP in the future.

To explore screening tools for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which are convenient for primary hospitals, it can provide basic data for formulating ASD prevention policies. This was a cross-sectional study by cluster sampling. Huyi District and Xincheng District were extracted for investigation in Xi′an City. From July 2021 to September 2022, all children aged from 3 months to 36 months who live in the two districts were subjected to primary screening. The child care physician used the routine screening tool "warning signs checklist for screening psychological, behavioral and developmental problems of children" and cartoon pictures of "early high-risk warning signs of autism", the children who were positive in the initial screening were referred to the district level maternal and child health hospital for re-screening, and those who were positive in the re-screening were referred to Xi ′an Children′s Hospital for diagnosis. The results showed that a total of 17 905 children aged from 3 months to 36 months were initially screened in the two districts, including 10 588 children aged from 18 months to 36 months, 50 children who were positive in the initial screening and 50 children who were re-screened. 23 children (18 boys and 5 girls) were diagnosed with ASD. The prevalence rate of ASD in children was 2.17‰ (95% confidence interval:1.29‰-3.06‰). 42 children were positive for "warning signs checklist" at the preliminary screening, and 19 were confirmed as ASD. 27 children were positive for "cartoon pictures" in the preliminary screening, and 23 were confirmed with ASD. The "cartoon pictures" in the preliminary screening and diagnosis of consistent rate was higher than the "warning signs checklist", two kinds of screening methods comparison were statistically significant difference in the odds of consistent (χ 2=11.01, P=0.001). In conclusion, relying on the three-level network of maternal and child health care, it is conducive to the whole process management of screening and diagnosis of children with ASD, and to guide the formulation of prevention policies. The cartoon pictures of "early high-risk warning signs of autism" can assist the identification of children with ASD based on the "warning signs checklist", which is simple, effective and suitable for promotion in the community health care.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemic characteristics of measles and rubella in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from 2013 to 2022, and to provide data support for the elimination of measles and rubella. MethodsEnzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect IgM antibodies in serum samples. The sequence of 630 nucleotides at the C-terminal of N gene of measles virus was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and the phylogenic tree was constructed. ResultsA total of 1 529 suspected cases of measles were detected from 2013 to 2022, among which the positive rate of measles IgM antibody was 33.55% (513/1 529). The highest positive rate (20.73%) was from March to May , and the positive rate of rubella IgM antibody was 6.80% (104/1 529). The positive rate of both IgM was higher in males than that in females (P<0.05). The IgM against measles was mainly detected in 0‒ years old (63.16%, 96/152) and 20‒ years old (45.61%, 161/353). The IgM against rubella was mainly detected in 10‒20 years old (27.27%, 18/66). The IgM antibody could be detected more easily from 4 to 28 days after eruption, and the IgM antibody positive rate of measles/rubella from 2020 to 2022 was significantly lower than previous years (2013‒2019). There were 2 D8 genotype strains, and the rest were H1a gene subtypes. ConclusionThe positive rate of IgM antibodies against measles/rubella in Pudong New Area of Shanghai decreased significantly. People aged 0‒ years and 20‒ years old are more susceptible to measles, and rubella is concentrated in 10‒ years old. It is necessary to strengthen the vaccination of school-age children, in order to achieve the goal of eliminating measles. The age group with high risk of exposure should be checked for vaccination status to ensure the enhanced immunization, and the surveillance of imported measles cases should be strengthened.

Objective:To explore the effects of Qigui Fuyuan Decoction (QGFYD) on improving neural function, reducing neuronal damage and inflammatory response in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods:A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established in SD rats using suture occlusion method. The rats were divided into sham-operation group, model group, and QGFYD low- (QGFYD-L), medium- (QGFYD-M), and high-dosage (QGFYD-H) groups according to random number table method. The modified neurological severity scores (mNSS) was used to evaluate the neurological deficit score, Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining to assess the volume of cerebral infarction, and Western blot for inflammatory factor expression and ELISA assay for serum inflammatory factor levels. Stimulation of PC12 cells with L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) was used to establish an in vitro neurological injury model, and QGFYD-containing serum and intestinal absorptive solution were prepared to study its neuroprotective effects in vitro using the CCK-8 assay kit.Results:Compared with the model group, QGFYD-L, QGFYD-M, and QGFYD-H groups showed a decrease in neurological deficit symptom scores ( P<0.01), a decrease in cerebral infarction volume ( P<0.01), a decrease in serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels ( P<0.05), and a decrease in brain tissue IL-1 β, IL-6, iNOS, and TNF-α protein expression ( P<0.05); both the QGFYD-containing serum and the intestinal absorption solution could alleviate L-Glu induced damage to PC12 cells ( P<0.01). In vitro experiments showed that intervention with 30 mmol/L L-glutamate for 24 hours could cause damage to PC12 cells. Both the serum containing Qigui Fuyuan decoction and intestinal absorption solution could alleviate L-Glu-induced damage to PC12 cells ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Qigui Fuyuan Decoction can alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, improve neurological function, and inhibit neuroinflammation.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common inherited cerebral small-vessel disease, which is caused by mutations in the Notch3 gene on chromosome 19. Compared with CADASIL, CARASIL caused by homozygous mutation of high-temperature requirement protease A1 (HTRA1) is a rare single-gene cerebral small vessel disease. A 47-year-old male patient was reported in this paper. The main cause was "cough in drinking water and dysphagia for 28 hours". According to family history and imaging findings, he was considered to be hereditary cerebral small vessel disease, and the clinical manifestations were accompanied by typical symptoms of CARASIL, such as alopecia and low back pain. Gene detection suggested that NOTCH3 gene mutation combined with ABCC6 gene mutation. Through the analysis of the clinical data of this case, it is helpful for clinicians to improve the recognition of hereditary cerebral small vessel disease.

Objective:To explore the impacts of thermotherapy combined with gemcitabine on the biological behavior of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells.Methods:Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells were divided into the control group (blank control), gemcitabine group, thermotherapy group (heated in an incubator at 43℃ for 1 h and then incubated at 37℃ for 24 h) and thermotherapy + gemcitabine group. The proliferation ability of Tca8113 cells was assessed by EdU staining and CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle of Tca8113 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The invasion of Tca8113 cells was determined by Transwell chamber assay. The expression levels of cyclin D1 (CyclinD1), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome 1 (NBS1) proteins in Tca8113 cells were measured by Western blot. The changes of tumor mass and volume were detected by xenograft tumor in vivo test in nude mice. Multi-group comparison was performed by one-way ANOVA. Two group comparison was conducted by SNK- q test. Results:Compared with the control group, EdU positive cell percentage, OD 450 value, invasive cell number, CyclinD1, MMP-9 and NBS1 protein expression of Tca8113 cells were decreased, whereas the apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax and γH2AX proteins were increased in the gemcitabine, thermotherapy and thermotherapy + gemcitabine groups ( q=4.45-72.06, all P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the proportion of G 0/G 1 phase cells was decreased, whereas the proportion of S and G 2/M phase cells was increased in the gemcitabine and thermotherapy + gemcitabine groups, the proportion of G 0/G 1 phase cells was decreased and the proportion of G 2/M phase cells was increased in the hyperthermia group ( q=10.36-61.09, all P<0.001). Compared with the gemcitabine and thermotherapy groups, EdU positive cell percentage, OD 450 value, G 0/G 1 phase cell proportion, invasive cell number, CyclinD1, MMP-9 and NBS1 protein expression of Tca8113 cells were decreased, whereas apoptosis rate, S, G 2/M phase cell proportion, Bax and γH2AX protein expression were increased in the thermotherapy + gemcitabine group ( q=4.45-28.73, all P<0.001). Xenograft tumor in vivo test in nude mice showed that the tumor volume and mass of nude mice in the gemcitabine, thermotherapy, and thermotherapy + gemcitabine groups were decreased compared with those in the control group ( q=5.58-73.02, all P<0.001). Compared with the gemcitabine and thermotherapy groups, the tumor volume and mass in the thermotherapy + gemcitabine group were decreased ( q=5.58-21.45, all P<0.001). Conclusion:The combination of thermotherapy and gemcitabine can inhibit the proliferation and invasion, block the cell cycle, and induce cell apoptosis of Tca8113 cells.
