Abstract:
The initiatives that promote and shape the disease management and healthcare service models that combine sports and medicine have been put forward in the Plan of Health China 2030. Health organizations across the country have been paying increasing attention to the combination of sports and medicine, with the encouragement of national policy. However, due to the lack of economic evaluations, there is still short of supporting evidence and practical application in this area. This paper reviews the economic evaluation cases of integrated sports and medicine programs in foreign countries. We find that the programs are mainly focus on some traditional sports, such as aerobic exercise, resistance exercise and Tai Chi. Cost-effectiveness analysis is now the primary method, with quality-adjusted life years and disease-specific clinical outcomes as health output indicators. The bottlenecks in the current studies include the diverse definitions of cost accounting and health output indicators, the lack of uniformity in the length of intervention and evaluation periods, the unscientific assessment of exercise intensity and the limited use of quality-adjusted life years in this method. We suggested collecting pluralistic data in the real world and strengthening the application of the economic evaluation models based on the big data.

Abstract:
  Objective  To compare the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and treatment protocols of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (LSLE) and adult onset systemic lupus erythematosus (ASLE), and to explore the clinical features and diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of LSLE.  Methods  The medical records of 170 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who were initially diagnosed and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from September 2017 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the age of onset, patients were divided into two groups: ≥50 years old was the LSLE group (51 cases); < 50 years old was in the ASLE group (119 cases).  Results  Compared with the ASLE group, the time from onset to diagnosis was significantly longer in the LSLE group [3.0 (1.0, 12.0) months vs. 1.0 (0.5, 5.0) months, Z=-3.391, P=0.001], there was a significant increase in the percentage of patients with more than one disease at the time of diagnosis, a significant decrease in fever, rash, and photosensitivity, a significant increase in the percentage of patients with dry syndrome, a significant decrease in the incidence of leukopenia and hypocomplementemia, a significant decrease in the incidence of positive anti-d-DNA and anti-sm antibodies, and a significant decrease in the SLEDAI-2000 and BILAG-2004 scores. After the LSLE group completed the disease activity assessment, the maximum average dose of glucocorticoids and the rate of glucocorticoid use were significantly reduced. The use rate of immunosuppressants and the types of immunosuppressants used were significantly reduced, and the use of mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide and methotrexate was significantly reduced. The above differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Compared with ASLE, patients with LSLE have fewer typical SLE clinical manifestations, a long time from onset to diagnosis, relatively mild disease, low dose of glucocorticoids and fewer types of immunosuppressants.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the efficacy and safety of 99Technetium-methylenediphosphonate (99Tc-MDP) in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).  Methods  A total of 60 patients diagnosed with SLE combined with ONFH (necrosis group) and SLE without ONFH (control group) were selected from June 2021 to September 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College. Among them, the necrosis group (30 cases) was divided into the conventional group (15 cases) and the combined group (15 cases) according to whether 99Tc-MDP was used. The concentrations of plasma osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteopontin (OPN) were determined by ELISA before and after a short course of treatment between the combined group and the conventional group, and the control group were compared. Follow-up was conducted after a long course of treatment between the combination group and the conventional group, and the Harris score, imaging changes and adverse reactions were compared.  Results  There was no significant difference in baseline data between the three groups before treatment. After 1 short course of treatment: compared with before treatment, plasma OPG level increased and OPN level decreased in combination group after treatment, the differences were statistically significant. After 1 course of treatment: (1) The Harris score of hip function in the combined group was increased compared with the conventional group, and was significantly increased after treatment in the combined group compared with before treatment, the difference was statistically significant; There was no significant difference in Harris score between the conventional group after treatment and before treatment. (2) There was no significant improvement in imaging evaluation after 99Tc-MDP treatment. (3) No serious adverse reactions were found in the three groups.  Conclusion  On the basis of routine medication, 99Tc-MDP has good clinical effect and high safety in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus complicated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract:
Glucocorticoids (hormones for short) act in two main ways: the genomic pathway, which is the main effective pathway for oral glucocorticoids, and the non-genomic pathway, which is activated at doses of up to 100 mg/day of prednisone. Hormones have been considered as a "double-edged sword" in the treatment of SLE: on the one hand, they exert rapid and powerful anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, while on the other hand, their long-term accumulation leads to the irreversible organ damage accrual. To date, glucocorticoids remain the most critical first-line drug in the management of SLE due to the lack of safer and more effective treatments. Recent studies have shown that the long-term accumulation of glucocorticoids doses and challenges in dose reduction have become the primary barrier for target achievement in SLE treat-to-target therapy. Current research evidence suggests that longer duration of disease stabilization, more stable disease activity status, and better maintenance therapeutic regimens are key to achieving successful glucocorticoids taper. Glucocorticoids pulse can activate non-genomic effect pathways that on the one hand induce rapid disease remission without significantly increasing side effects, and on the other hand create opportunities for lower initial doses of oral glucocorticoids and rapid dose reduction. Drugs such as hydroxychloroquine, immunosuppressants, small-molecule targeted agents, and biologics are also able to help glucocorticoids dose reduction. In addition, the development of new drugs including selective glucocorticoids receptor agonists may be able to play a greater role in the future. In conclusion, how to achieve successful glucocorticoids reduction and eventual discontinuation while maintaining stable disease control has become an increasingly important topic in SLE, and more high-quality evidence-based medical evidence is needed.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk stratification of hypertension patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in northern Anhui, to discuss the high risk factors of hypertensive patients with ACS, and to guide the clinical work.  Methods  A total of 426 patients with ACS, diagnosed by coronary angiography in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from October 2018 to July 2019 in northern Anhui province. They were divided into hypertensive ACS group (HBP group, 252 cases) and non-hypertensive ACS group (NHBP group, 174 cases) according to whether they were complicated with hypertension. The average follow-up was 15 months, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACES) were recorded in the ACS group. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors.  Results  Compared with the NHBP group, patients in the HBP group had higher age, uric acid, creatinine and triglyceride (TG) levels; The rate of early coronary heart disease was lower; the proportion of three-vessel lesions was higher; and the Gensini score was higher (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression showed that, getting older (OR=1.163, 95% CI: 1.085-1.247, P < 0.01), Male (OR=2.615, 95% CI: 1.192-5.737, P=0.016), early-onset coronary heart disease (OR=7.775, 95% CI: 1.772-34.113, P=0.007), high TG (OR=1.337, 95% CI: 1.104-1.619, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for patients with hypertension combined with ACS (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Getting older, male, early-onset coronary heart disease, high TG and other factors are closely related to the patients with hypertension complicated with ACS, which guide to strengthen clinical screening and intervention in clinical work.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the clinical features and associated risk factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).  Methods  A total of 120 patients with hypertension who were hospitalized in the People' s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from April to October 2021 and completed overnight polysomnographic monitoring or diagnosis of OSAS were consecutively selected. All patients were evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), and MoCA score < 26 was defined as MCI. The characteristics of sleep parameters and ambulatory blood pressure were compared between the cognitively normal group (39 cases) and the MCI group (81 cases), and associated risk factors were discussed.  Results  The detection rate of MCI in the general population was 67.5%(81/120); Compared with the normal cognitive function group, the nighttime minimum oxygen saturation[81.0(77.0, 85.0)% vs.86.0(79.0, 88.0)%] decreased in the MCI group, while AHI[20.1(15.3, 31.6) times/h vs. 6.7(2.6, 26.1) times/h], T90[27.2(5.3, 80.4) min vs. 6.9(0.4, 79.1) min], in visual space/execution function[3(2, 3) points vs. (4(3, 5) points], attention [5(5, 6) points vs. 6(6, 6) points], delay recall [2(1, 3) points vs.3(3, 4) points], abstract thinking [1(0, 1) points vs.2(1, 2) points], cognitive domains were significantly reduced (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that the lowest oxygen saturation at night was independent risk factor for MCI in this population.  Conclusion  The high prevalence of MCI in hypertensive patients with OSAS, short education and low nocturnal minimum oxygen saturation are the risk factors for the high prevalence of MCI in this population.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the factors affecting the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in order to improve the success rate of resuscitation.  Methods  Data of 423 IHCA patients admitted to the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Medicine Department, Respiratory Medicine Department and other departments of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from November 2019 to November 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into ROSC group (109 cases) and ineffective resuscitation group (314 cases) according to whether spontaneous circulation was restored. The influencing factors of ROSC in patients with IHCA were analyzed by univariate analysis. Then, the factors with P < 0.05 in the univariate analysis were included in the binary unconditional logistic regression analysis.  Results  Univariate analysis showed that compared with the non-resuscitation group, the ROSC group included long-term residence (urban/rural), occurrence season of cardiac arrest, ECG manifestations of early repolarization syndrome, history of severe trauma, history of malignancy, first in-hospital department, ICU admission during the course of disease, in-hospital department of cardiac arrest, first detection of heart rhythm, whether endotracheal intubation was performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, whether defibrillation was performed, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, whether to use epinephrine, the application of epinephrine dose and other factors, all had statistical significance (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that ICU admission (P < 0.001), airway opening (P=0.007), duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (P < 0.001) and total epinephrine dose (P < 0.001) were independent factors influencing ROSC in patients with IHCA.  Conclusion  ICU admission, airway opening before cardiac arrest, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and total epinephrine dose can affect ROSC in patients with IHCA.

Abstract:
  Objective  To study the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration and season, gender and age using data from the physical examination centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, and to provide a reference for rational clinical vitamin D supplementation.  Methods  Data of 4 311 subjects (> 20 years old) who underwent physical examination from April 2017 to June 2022 (The data of April, May, June 2020 were missing) were selected. Spearman ' s rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between monthly average serum 25(OH)D concentration and monthly average temperature, sunshine duration and UV intensity. The detection rates of 25(OH)D sufficiency [25(OH)D ≥75 nmol/L], 25(OH)D insufficiency [50 nmol/L ≤ 25(OH)D < 75 nmol/L] and 25(OH)D deficiency [25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L] were calculated.  Results  The mean serum 25(OH)D level was 59.7 nmol/L and the overall 25(OH)D sufficiency rate was 22.5%, insufficiency rate was 38.6% and deficiency rate was 38.9%. The median serum 25(OH)D concentration in women was lower than that in men. The serum 25(OH)D concentration showed a seasonal variation over the 5-year period and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Median 25(OH)D concentrations were lower in winter and spring than that in summer and autumn; mean 25(OH)D concentrations and sufficiency rates were higher in people over 60 years of age than in the other two age groups.  Conclusions  Serum 25(OH)D concentrations in the physical examination population are statistically significant in relation to seasonal changes, gender and age. Vitamin D should be supplemented according to different seasons and age groups to prevent osteoporosis, pathological fractures and other diseases.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the types, characteristics, resistance and treatments of pathogenic microorganisms in patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, which will help patients to find an appropriate treatment plan.  Methods  From January 2019 to January 2021, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 100 patients who visited the gynaecology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College. Based on the results of the retrospective analysis, the drug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms was investigated.  Results  Many causes of the disease, including irregular vaginal bleeding, abortion. The main symptoms of the disease are fever, abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis were the most common pathogenic microorganisms detected in 100 patients. All patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics, and the temperature and white blood cell count returned to normal in a shorter time in patients treated with third-generation cephalosporins (P < 0.05). The drug sensitivity test showed that penicillin had been tested and the drug resistance rate was 56.3%. Cephalosporin had been tested and the drug resistance rate was 23.8%. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the number of white blood cells in the blood when the patients were treated with susceptibility antibiotic compared to the resistant antibiotic. Moreover, the results of serial passage experiment to treat microorganisms showed that there was a clear difference in the time it took bacteria to develop resistance to different antibiotics. At the end of the passages, the concentration that inhibited the growth of 90% of the bacteria had increased 64-fold.  Conclusion  There are many pathogenic microorganisms in acute pelvic inflammatory disease, the predominant pathogens of acute pelvic inflammatory disease are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Moreover, third-generation cephalosporins are superior to second-generation cephalosporins in treating patients with antibiotics. In addition, there is less resistance to quinolones and aminoglycosides, which may be the first choice of clinical treatment. Furthermore, Pathogenic microorganism can easily develop resistance, highlighting the importance of the accuracy of empirical medication. Of course, the selection of specific antibiotics should be based on comprehensive identification of bacterial culture, drug sensitivity tests and clinician experiences.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the relationship between mild depression and iron content in the red nucleus in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients and evaluated the predictive value of red nucleus in mild depression CSVD patients (control group).  Methods  Forty-one patients with mildly depressed CSVD (experimental group) and 40 patients with non-depressed CSVD attending the Department of Neurology of the General Hospital of the People ' s Liberation Army (PLA) from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022 were collected. The depression levels were assessed by the geriatric depression scale (GDS). All subjects underwent magnetic resonance susceptibility weighted imaging scans, the iron content in red nucleus of CSVD patients were semi-quantitatively analyzed using susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) signal intensity in the region of interest (ROI). The signal intensity in the ROI of the red nucleus was measured by 2 physicians. The iron contents in the red nucleus of the two groups were analyzed and the correlation between mild depression and iron content in the red nucleus of CSVD patients was explored.  Results  The signal intensity in the left red nucleus ROI (189.36±27.55 vs. 213.32±34.33) and the average signal intensity in the red nucleus ROI (193.06±26.33 vs. 211.64±33.53) of the mild depression CSVD group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05), while the signal intensity of the right red nucleus ROI in the mild depression CSVD group were not different from those of the control group. Correlation analysis showed that the mean signal intensity in the red nucleus ROI was negatively correlated with depression, the left signal strength in the red nucleus ROI was negatively correlated with depression.  Conclusion  Mild depression in CSVD is significantly associated with iron content in the red nucleus, and the content of iron in the red nucleus has a certain value in predicting mild depression of CSVD.

Abstract:
  Objective  Based on four dimensional CT (4DCT) images of patients with lung tumors in different parts, the study compares which target delineation method is more efficient.  Methods  A total of 130 patients with lung tumors, who underwent 4DCT simulation scans at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from October 2019 to December 2021 were selected. The doctor delineated the gross tumor volume (GTV) targets in 10 phases of 4DCT, and IGTV10 was obtained by fusion. IGTVMIP, IGTVAIP and IGTV2 were obtained based on maximum density projection (MIP), average density projection (AIP) images, 0% and 50% time-phase of 4DCT. The above delineation methods were compared in terms of volume and centroid displacement.  Results  The ratios of IGTVMIP, IGTVAIP and IGTV2 to IGTV10 in the upper lobe group were 1.00, 0.98 and 0.99, respectively (P=0.143, < 0.001, < 0.001). The ratios for the middle and lower lobe groups were 0.99, 0.96 and 0.98, respectively (P=0.603, < 0.001, < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the degree of mutual inclusion between IGTV10 and IGTVMIP in the upper lung lobe group (P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in the degree of mutual inclusion between IGTV10, IGTVAIP and IGTV2 in the upper lung lobe group (all P < 0.05). The degree of mutual inclusion of IGTV10, IGTVMIP, IGTVAIP and IGTV2 in the middle and lower lung lobe group was significantly different (all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The motion information contained in the 10 time-fused images is significantly greater than that of the AIP images and the 0%+50% fused images, but close to that of the MIP images. The location of the tumor should also be considered when using MIP images to delineate the target area.

Abstract:
  Objective  To improve the diagnose and treatment of renal eosinophilic adenoma, to summarize the clinical characteristics of renal eosinophilic adenoma and study the use of auxiliary examination methods to improve the diagnosis and treatment rate of renal eosinophilic adenoma.  Methods  Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 31 patients with renal eosinophilic adenoma who were treated in the Department of Urology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from June 2009 to December 2021, including clinical symptoms, auxiliary examinations, imaging data, treatment methods, pathological examinations and follow-up results.  Results  Thrity-one patients accounted for 2.35% (31/1 321) of kidney tumor patients during the same period. Twenty patients were admitted to the hospital due to renal space occupancy on physical examination, while the remaining 7 patients showed lumbar discomfort, 2 patients showed intermittent gross hematuria, and 2 patients developed fever. The CT values of renal malignancy and renal oncocytoma in plain scan, cortical phase, renal pelvis phase, relative cortical phase and relative renal pelvis phase were statistically different (all P < 0.05). Seven auxiliary examination reports were considered as renal eosinophilic adenoma. Twelve patients underwent nephron-sparing surgery and 19 patients underwent radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. After surgery, all patients were diagnosed with renal eosinophilic adenoma by pathological examination, and immunohistochemical analysis showed high expression of EMA, E-cadherin, CD117. A total of 31 cases were followed up, and 21 cases had a good prognosis. All patients survived, with a maximum survival time of more than 12 years. Four patients died from non-tumor or other tumor-related causes, and 6 patients were lost to follow-up.  Conclusion  It is important to confirm the preoperative diagnosis of eosinophilic adenoma using changes in CT values, laboratory examination, puncture biopsies and immunohistochemical results. In treatment, it is recommended to reserve nephron according to the type and size of the tumor. The prognosis of this disease is good, but it still needs active follow-up.

  Objective  To evaluate the predictive value of the eustachian tube for the effect of endoscopic intra tympanic injection through detecting the function of the eustachian tube in patients with sudden sensorineural deafness.  Methods  A total of 115 patients with sudden senineural deafness who received endoscopic tympanic injection in Zhejiang Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine from February 2021 to August 2022 were selected. According to the pure tone hearing threshold detection results two weeks after treatment, they were divided into effective group (hearing improvement ≥15 dB) and ineffective group (hearing improvement < 15 dB). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors affecting the effect of endoscopic tympanic injection in patients with sudden senineural deafness, and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of eustachian tube function on the effect of endoscopic tympanic injection.  Results  After 2 weeks of treatment, 81 cases of hearing improvement ≥15 dB compared with before treatment were effective group, and the remaining 34 cases of hearing improvement < 15 dB were ineffective group. The age, impaired frequency threshold and eustachian tube function score of ineffective group were higher than those of effective group (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that: Age (OR=1.056, 95% CI: 1.022-1.155), impaired frequency threshold (OR=1.042, 95% CI: 1.006-1.079), eustachian tube function score (OR=4.412, 95% CI: 2.247-8.666) were the risk factors for endoscopic tympanic injection effect (P < 0.05). ROC curve showed that the prediction AUC of endoscopic tympanic injection effect was 0.812 (95% CI: 0.728-0.879), which was significantly higher than that of age (0.665, 95% CI: 0.571-0.750) and impaired frequency hearing threshold (0.667, 95% CI: 0.573-0.752), P < 0.05.  Conclusion  The function of eustachian tube is relatively valuable in predicting the effect of endoscopic tympanic injection in patients with sudden senineural deafness.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the influencing factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients with vertebral compression fractures, and to provide a reference for clinical prevention strategies.  Methods  A total of 167 elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, who underwent surgical treatment at Wenzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were selected. The clinical data of the patients were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with vertebral compression fractures.  Results  Among 167 patients, 39 patients developed postoperative cognitive dysfunction, with an incidence of 23.35%. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, history of alcohol consumption, postoperative infection, perioperative analgesia, postoperative complications, type of anesthesia, operation time, intraoperative mean frontal lobe oxygen saturation, and preoperative anxiety score between patients with and without postoperative cognitive dysfunction (all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age≥65 years (OR=3.347, P=0.007), postoperative analgesia (OR=2.286, P=0.043), general anesthesia (OR=3.920, P=0.005), operation time ≥120 min (OR=3.418, P < 0.001) were the independent risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction.  Conclusion  Older age, postoperative analgesia, general anesthesia and longer operation time are risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Targeted early clinical intervention can be used to prevent and treat postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the correlation between the benefit finding level and abuse tendency of family caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients.  Methods  A total of 120 family caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease from March 2020 to October 2021 in the Seventh People's Hospital of Shaoxing City were included, and the Chinese version of the benefit finding scale (BFS) and the Chinese version of the caregiver abuse screen for the elderly (CASE) were used to investigate the level of benefit finding and abuse tendency of family caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between the level of benefit finding and abuse tendency of family caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients.  Results  The total score of benefit finding of family caregivers was (36.58±3.27) points, and the total average score was (1.95±0.30) points. The scores of caregivers ' abuse tendency ranged from 0 to 8, with an average score of 4.72±1.33, there were 22 (18.33%) scored ≤2, and 98 (81.67%) scored ≥3. Spearman correlation coefficient analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the benefit finding level and the abuse tendency score of family caregivers with Alzheimer's disease (r=-0.594, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The benefit finding of family caregivers is found at a low level, and abuse tendency is widespread. The lower the level of caregiver benefit finding, the greater the likelihood of abuse. Nursing staff should take effective measures to improve the level of benefit finding of family caregivers of Alzheimer's disease, which will help improve their psychological conditions and reduce the occurrence of abuse.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block(QLB) for microwave ablation of liver tumor.  Methods  A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect 190 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) of liver tumors at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2017 to December 2020, 40 patients of whom underwent ultrasound-guided QLB (research group) and the remaining 150 patients underwent general anesthesia only (control group). Baseline data related to postoperative pain were scored and matched 1∶ 1 by propensity score analysis to produce a study group and a control group, then the postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, the quality of recovery-40 questionnaire (QoR40) score and the treatment for postoperative pain after operation were compared between the two groups.  Results  After propensity score matching, there was no statistical difference for the baseline data between the research group (40 patients included) and the control group (40 patients included) after matching. There was no statistical difference in the baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). The factors related to the postoperative pain were selected by single factor regression and then included in multi-factor regression. Multi-factor regression analysis showed that OLB was negatively correlated with postoperative pain (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the QoR40 scores [(171.85±10.14) points vs. (167.45±10.59) points]between the two groups (t=-1.884, P=0.065). The number of cases requiring treatment was reduced in the experimental group compared with the control group, however, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.057).  Conclusion  Compared with the general anesthesia, the combination of preoperative QLB and general anesthesia can reduce the preoperative pain for the patients underwent hepatic MWA.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the value of transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound combined with three-dimensional energy Doppler in the differentiation of endometrial lesions in postmenopausal women.  Methods  A total of 214 postmenopausal patients with endometrial disease in the Department of Gynecology of Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into benign lesion group (109 cases), atypical hyperplasia group (68 cases) and endometrial cancer group (37 cases) according to the pathological examination results. All subjects underwent transvaginal ultrasound to obtain endometrial thickness, two-dimensional blood flow classification, three-dimensional power Doppler blood flow.  Results  The endometrial thickness of the benign lesion group, the atypical hyperplasia group and the endometrial cancer group was gradually thickened (F=15.392, P < 0.001), the vascular index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascular flow index (VFI) were gradually increased (all P < 0.001), and the flow grade 2 and 3 was gradually increased (Z=5.994, P < 0.001). BMI, endometrial thickness, blood flow grade 3, and VFI were risk factors for the progression of endometrial lesions (OR=2.555, 1.941, 1.858, 2.450, all P < 0.05). Endometrial thickness and blood flow grade 3 had differential value between benign endometrial lesions and atypical hyperplasia (AUC=0.770, 0.811, P < 0.05). Endometrial VFI had differential value between benign endometrial lesions and atypical hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia and endometrial cancer (AUC=0.793, 0.859, P < 0.001). In the cases of endometrial thickness > 7.6 cm, blood flow grade 3 and VFI > 11, the coincidence rates of 1, 2 and 3 with pathological diagnosis were 61.5%, 70.7% and 90.8%, respectively.  Conclusion  Endometrial thickness, blood flow grading combined with VFI has a good value in differentiating the types of endometrial lesions in postmenopausal women.

Abstract:
Aortic diseases, such as aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, have attracted wide attention as a kind of diseases with high morbidity and high mortality, which lack effective early warning markers and have a high mortality after surgical treatment. The pathogenesis of aortic disease is not fully understood. At present, aortic disease has been proven to be associated with hypertension, atherosclerosis, gender, genetic variation, inflammation and other factors that change the force on the aortic wall. With the development of economy and society, the incidence of dyslipidemia represented by hyperlipidemia is increasing in the world. Dyslipidemia increases the risk of atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction, and ultimately leads to coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Currently, hyperlipidemia has been found to have adverse effects on the occurrence and development of aortic diseases. A better understanding of the relationship between lipid metabolism disorders and aortic diseases is helpful for clinical prevention, diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases. At the same time, various lipid-regulating drugs can effectively control blood lipid through different lipid metabolic sites, and lipid-regulating drugs have played an important role in the prevention and clinical treatment of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Controlling blood lipids and improving atherosclerosis have better preventive effect on the occurrence of aortic diseases. This paper summarizes the relationship between clinical lipid indexes, hyperlipidemia and the occurrence, development and prognosis of aortic diseases in recent years, and probes into the cellular and molecular pathways of lipid metabolism disorders and the effects of lipid-regulating drugs on aortic diseases, as well as their potential application prospects.

Abstract:
Vascular dementia (VD) is a progressive cognitive disability syndrome caused by reduced blood supply to the brain caused by cerebrovascular diseases, and its incidence is second only to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The prevalence rate of VD in China ranges from 1.1%-3.0%, and the number of patients with dementia is as high as 20% of the global population. Patients suffer from memory loss, cognitive dysfunction and other symptoms, so that they lose the ability to take care of themselves, which places a great burden to their families and society. With the aging of population, the increasing number of patients and the increasing cost of treatment, how to deal with VD caused by the above factors has become a public health problem facing the world. At present, the pathogenesis is not clear, and there is no effective treatment, as the only type of dementia that can be prevented, how to prevent VD has become the focus and difficulty of clinical research. Biomarkers reflect certain characteristics in the course of disease treatment, and related biomarkers play an important role in the early diagnosis, pathogenesis, guidance of treatment strategies, prognosis assessment and other aspects of VD. Long-term use of Western medicine will produce a variety of adverse effects such as drug resistance and dependence. Therefore, many studies have combined acupuncture with Chinese herbal formulas and western drugs on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine theory, and selected acupuncture point formulas according to the patient's individual constitution and the underlying condition, all of which have achieved good clinical effects. In this paper, the literature related to VD acupuncture research in the past 5 years was retrieved from the China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI). Many biomarkers related to vascular dementia were found and classified according to their molecular categories. This paper summarized and commented on the application value of VD in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular dementia, the intervention effect of targeted acupuncture and special acupuncture methods, which provided certain ideas for the treatment and research of VD.

Abstract:
It is reported that there are about 537 million diabetes patients aged 20-79 years around the world, and about 6.7 million adults die of diabetes or diabetes complications. China has become the country with the largest number of diabetes patients in the world. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the result of environmental and genetic factors. In recent years, the incidence rate of T2DM continues to rise, so it is very important to prevent and control the occurrence and development of T2DM. To address this situation, the T2DM research team has established a T2DM risk prediction model. Currently, the mechanisms included in the T2DM prediction model are mostly lipid metabolism, pancreatic function, glucose metabolism, dietary habits, etc., which are basically traditional risk factors. This has led to the phenomenon of "homogenization" in domestic and foreign T2DM prediction models. The prediction effect of existing models in different populations is not ideal, and there is an urgent need for new ideas and methods to be added. With the completion of the Human Genome Project, more and more studies have been carried out on the establishment of T2DM prediction models based on the joint application of susceptibility genes and traditional risk factors. Therefore, this paper plans to jointly apply susceptibility genes and traditional risk factors to establish T2DM prediction models incorporating new mechanisms, integrate "congenital" genetic factors and "acquired" physiological and biochemical indicators, and aim to accurately predict T2DM. At the same time, genetic factors are represented by the genetic risk score (GRS), and exploring how GRS can be applied to prediction models is also one of the purposes of this article. This paper reviewed the calculation of genetic risk score for type 2 diabetes mellitus, the combination of genetic risk score and traditional clinical risk factors in predicting type 2 diabetes mellitus, and how to apply genetic risk score through searching domestic and foreign literature, providing ideas and basis for the improvement of prediction model for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the future.

Abstract:
With the increasing ageing of the population, the problem of multimorbidity is becoming more and more serious, and the multimorbidity has also become a major cause of cognitive impairment. Indeed, the two are interrelated. Without a comprehensive approach, it is easy to create a vicious circle in both directions. The mechanisms of the interaction between multimorbidity and cognitive impairment are unclear, which may be related to accelerated ageing and its chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, so more basic research is needed to clarify these views. Because of multimorbidity, problems such as polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate drug use, drug-drug interactions, and the effects of drugs on cognitive function are public health issues that general practitioners need to address. Cognitive function screening, assessment and active intervention measures in patients with multimorbidity, and comprehensive management including non-drug treatment, drug treatment, psycho-psychology and rehabilitation, will definitely prevent or reduce the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction in patients with multimorbidity. Slowing the progression of cognitive impairment. Unfortunately, the current management of cognitive function in patients with multimorbidity mainly follows the previous assessment and treatment of cognitive dysfunction without considering the impact of multimorbidity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish and improve guidelines for the management of the cognitive function in patients with multimorbidity. With the continuous improvement of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, general practitioners will surely shoulder the burden of cognitive function management of patients with multimorbidity. While improving our own capabilities, we need to strengthen the initial screening, assessment, intervention, reassessment, and re-intervention of such patients, which truly reflects the continuous management of multimorbidity by general practitioners.

Abstract:
  Objective  Shoulder joint injection therapy, as the main treatment for rotator cuff injuries, can be divided into ultrasound-guided rotator cuff space injection therapy and traditional pain point injection therapy. This study mainly compares the therapeutic differences between the two treatments.  Methods  From April 2020 to October 2022, 92 patients with rotator cuff injury who received conservative treatment with drug injection in Dongyang People ' s Hospital were divided into ultrasound-guided injection group (n=46) and traditional pain spot injection group (n=46) using the random number table method. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic mixture was injected into the rotator cuff space under ultrasound guidance and according to the traditional pain spot injection method once every 2 weeks and continuously 3 times, respectively. The visual analogue pain (VAS) score, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), Constant Murley shoulder joint score, need for oral analgesics and incidence of subcutaneous ecchymosis were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.  Results  VAS scores and serum CRP levels were lower in the two groups at 2, 4 and 6 weeks of treatment than before treatment (all P < 0.05), and VAS scores and serum CRP levels at the above-mentioned time points were significantly lower in the ultrasound guided injection group than in the traditional pain point injection group (all P < 0.05). The shoulder joint Constant-Murley score in the two groups at 2, 4, 6 weeks of treatment was higher than that before treatment (all P < 0.05), and the shoulder joint Constant-Murley score in the ultrasound-guided injection group at 4, 6 weeks of treatment was significantly higher than that in the traditional pain point injection group (all P < 0.05).In the ultrasound-guided injection group, 21.74% (10/46) of oral analgesic drugs were less than 41.30% (19/46) in the traditional pain point injection group (P < 0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of subcutaneous ecchymosis between groups (P>0.05).  Conclusion  Ultrasound-guided injection of an anti-inflammatory and analgesic mixture into the rotator cuff space and pain points has a good effect in the treatment of rotator cuff injuries, however, the former has significant clinical advantages in reducing rotator cuff pain, lowering serum CRP levels, promoting the recovery of shoulder joint function and reducing oral analgesic drugs.

Abstract:
  Objective  Shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) after stroke can lead to limb dysfunction, and the long-term efficacy of conventional drug therapy and functional training is not so ideal, this study investigates the clinical effects of relaxing needling at meridian-muscle nodes combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) fumigation in the treatment of SHS.  Methods  A total of 80 patients with SHS after stroke who were admitted to the People ' s Hospital of Bozhou from May 2020 to July 2021 were selected and divided into experimental group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases) by random number table method. The control group was given conventional treatments, functional exercise of shoulder and hand joints and traditional Chinese medicine fumigation. On this basis, the experimental group was treated with relaxing needling at meridian-muscle nodes. The pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) scores, shoulder joint range of motion, hemodynamic indicators, TCM syndrome scores and total response rate were compared between the two groups.  Results  After treatment, the VAS score of the experimental group was 2.87±0.65, which was significantly lower than 3.51±0.84 of the control group (t=3.811, P < 0.001); The FMA score was 54.28±6.17, which was significantly higher than 49.36±7.58 of the control group (t=3.184, P=0.002); The lifting motion of shoulder joint in test group [(40.72±3.16)°] was significantly higher than that in control group [(36.85±4.73)°, t=4.303, P < 0.001]; Abductive range of motion of shoulder joint in experimental group [(70.16±4.28)°] was significantly higher than that in control group [(66.59±5.34)°, t=3.299, P=0.002]. Whole blood high-shear viscosity, whole blood low-shear viscosity, plasma viscosity and TCM syndrome scores were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The total clinical response rate in the experimental group (90.00%, 36/40) was significantly higher than that in the control group (67.50%, 27/40, χ2=6.050, P=0.014).  Conclusion  The treatment of SHS after stroke with relaxing needling at meridian-muscle nodes combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation can effectively relieve pain and improve limb motor function, shoulder joint range of motion and hemodynamics, with significant curative effect.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the research status and development trend of loneliness among older adults in China in order to provide valuable information for relevant research.  Methods  The literature related to loneliness among older people was screened from CNKI, CQVIP and Wanfang databases. The retrieval time was from the establishment of database to December 31, 2022. The bibliometric and visualization analysis was performed by NoteExpress and CiteSpace.  Results  A total of 403 related articles were included, and the number of published articles showed an upward trend. Among the included works of literature, 147 (36.48%) were supported by the fund. The research units were mostly medical colleges, and the cooperation network between the institutions and the authors was scattered and the density was insufficient. Current research focuses on the influencing factors and mechanisms of loneliness among older people, and the research on measuring tools was relatively lacking. The research hotspots and frontiers mainly focused on the loneliness of specific older groups, the influencing factors and interventions of loneliness among older people, the mechanism of loneliness, and the negative effects.  Conclusions  At present, the research in the field of loneliness among older people is still in the preliminary development stage. Although the research in this field has achieved results, there are still research gaps. In the future, government support should be increased, inter-institutional cooperation and exchange should be strengthened, new theories and perspectives should be introduced, and research content should be deepened, so as to promote the development of research in the field of loneliness in old age.

Abstract:
  Objective  To conduct a scoping review on the relevant literatures evaluating the adherence index of community residents using the "health record" APP, and to provide a reference for further analysis of the relevant adherence index of community residents.  Methods  PubMed and CBM were used for literature retrieval and collection. Data were extracted from the included studies, including basic research information, indicators used to measure adherence and relevant grading standards, and descriptive analysis of the relevant data was performed.  Results  A total of 19 references were included. Indicators commonly used to evaluate adherence include: login times, duration of use, frequency of use, days of use, number of functions used, application retention rate, etc. They can be summarized into five categories: (1)Frequency of use (14/19, 73.7%); (2)duration of use (6/19, 31.6%); (3)width of use (9/19, 47.4%); (4)depth of use (4/19, 21.1%); (5) retention rate (9/19, 47.4%). All indicators reflect the actual usage of users in a certain dimension.  Conclusions  "Frequency of use" is the most concerned category, and further research can pay more attention to "duration of use" and "depth of use". According to the type of disease and the research design, the reasonable selection of the adherence index evaluation can objectively reflect the users ' use of the APP, and provide relevant evidence for the effectiveness of health management by using the "health record" APP. It is suggested that researchers use multiple categories of indicators to evaluate users ' adherence at the same time, in order to reduce the intervention and deviation caused by the single set of indicators or inappropriate for this study.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the understanding of relevant policies of rural order-oriented medical students in Shanxi Province, the willingness to continue serving the grassroots after graduation and the expiration of the contract, and their influencing factors, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the training and deployment of order-oriented medical students in our country.  Methods  Cluster sampling method was used to conduct an online survey of 1 200 rural medical students in Shanxi Province with targeted orders, and 1 054 valid questionnaires were obtained. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical analysis.  Results  Some of the students [45.45%(479/1 054)] are not familiar with the relevant policies of the order-oriented students, and 59.77% (630/1 054) of the students said that they will continue to serve the grassroots after the completion of the contract performance. The factors that influence the students to continue to serve the grassroots after the completion of the performance includes: the grade of the student (P=0.004), the degree of understanding of the major (P < 0.001), and whether they know the employment direction of the major (P < 0.001) etc.  Conclusion  In Shanxi Province, the awareness rate of the policy on order-oriented medical students needs to be further improved, the willingness to actively fulfil the contract after graduation is not strong, and the willingness to continue serving the grassroots after the contract is completed is not strong. Relevant administrative departments should strengthen the publicity and interpretation of relevant policies. Colleges and universities should be demand-oriented and provide medical education with general characteristics. All relevant departments should strengthen communication and cooperation.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the delirium syndrome after total hip replacement in elderly patients with femoral head necrosis and its influencing factors, and to provide theoretical reference for clinical development of targeted preventive interventions.  Methods  A total of 194 cases of elderly patients with femoral head necrosis who underwent total hip replacement in the Department of Orthopedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the observation subjects. The clinical data of patients were collected by self-made survey scale, and the occurrence of delirium syndrome was investigated by the Fuzzy consciousness assessment method (CAM) and the incidence of delirium syndrome was investigated. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of delirium syndrome after total hip replacement in elderly patients with femoral head necrosis.  Results  There were 26 cases of delirium syndrome after total hip replacement in 194 elderly patients with femoral head necrosis, the incidence was 13.40%. There were differences in age, pulmonary disease, nocturnal sleep disorder, nutritional disorder, anesthesia method, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative VAS score, postoperative serum CRP level, and postoperative hypoxemia incidence between patients with and without delirium syndrome (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis found that advanced age, pulmonary diseases, nocturnal sleep disorders, nutritional disorders, anesthesia method (general anesthesia), long operation time, large amount of intraoperative blood loss, postoperative VAS score ≥7, postoperative serum CRP level increased, and postoperative hypoxemia were the influencing factors for the occurrence of delirium syndrome after total hip replacement in elderly patients with femoral head necrosis (all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Elderly patients with femoral head necrosis are affected by age, lung disease, sleep disorder, nutritional level and other factors, and there is a high risk of delirium after total hip replacement. Clinical preventive interventions should be provided to reduce the risk of postoperative delirium syndrome.

Abstract:
  Objective  During general gastroscopy, patients ' oral secretions are prone to outflow or splashing, increasing the risk of cross infection. The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and practical effects of self-made anti-splash oral pad in clinical applications.  Methods  Sixty patients who underwent general gastroscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October to December 2020 were randomly divided into observation group (using self-made anti-splash oral pad) and control group (using routine one-time oral pad) by the random digital table method. The changes of blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation before and during the examination were observed in the two groups, as well as the outflow of oral secretions, the amount of secretions on lavatory paper and the satisfaction of patients.  Results  The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate of the two groups were slightly increased 2 minutes after the examination compared with 5 minutes before the examination, and there was no significant change in blood oxygen saturation before and during the examination (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation between the two groups (all P>0.05). More than 90% of the secretions in the observation group were collected into the gloves [(16.19±2.15) g], and the amount of secretions on the lavatory paper was very little [(1.85±0.31) g]. Compared with the amount of secretions on the lavatory paper in the control group [(17.78±2.53) g], the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The satisfaction of patients in the observation group was also better than that in the control group (93.33% vs. 73.33%, P=0.038).  Conclusion  In the process of general gastroscopy, the self-made anti-splash oral pad is safe and practical. It can effectively collect the outflow or splashed secretions during the inspection process and avoid cross infection caused by secretions. The clinical practice effect is significant, and it can significantly improve the patient ' s satisfaction. It is worthy of in-depth research and clinical promotion.

Abstract:
  Objective  To observe the efficacy and safety of modified prone position ventilation in the treatment of children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), to provide a standardized process for the treatment and care of clinical ARDS.  Methods  Fifty children with ARDS hospitalized in the Department of Intensive Care Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2020 to December 2021 were conveniently selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group by using a radom number table method, with 25 cases in each group. The control group was given the traditional prone position ventilation method, and the observation group was given the modified prone position ventilation method. The improvement of respiratory mechanical indexes (oxygenation index, thoracic and pulmonary compliance) and hemodynamic indexes (heart rate, mean arterial pressure) and the occurrence of complications before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.  Results  There was no significant difference in the scores of respiratory mechanics index and hemodynamic index between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After prone position ventilation, there were no significant changes in hemodynamic indexes between the two groups (P>0.05). The oxygenation index and chest and lung compliance monitoring scores of the observation group were better than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The incidence of complications (stress injury, vomiting, accidental extubation, facial edema) was 4.0% in the observation group and 28.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The modified prone position ventilation strategy can promote the recovery of respiratory movement, maintain the hemodynamic stability of children with ARDS, and reduce the occurrence of complications such as skin injury and vomiting caused by traditional prone position. Meanwhile, the modified prone position provides effective head and face support, alleviates the edema of face, eyelid or conjunctival caused by conventional prone position, and reduces the occurrence of complications. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract:
A 71-year-old female complained of hirsutism, androgenetic alopecia and enlarged clitoris after 10 years of post-menopause. Laboratory examination of total testosterone level was elevated (1.55-1.79 ng/mL, reference range: 0.08-0.60 ng/mL), while dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was within normal range. No obvious adrenal or ovarian mass was shown on imaging. Laparoscopy exploration was refused owing to advanced age and multiple comorbidities. After the 8-month trial of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue triptorelin, improved hirsutism and reduced androgenetic alopecia were observed, with decreased luteinizing hormone levels from 31 to 0.2 IU/L and normalized testosterone levels to 0.47 ng/mL. No signs of tumor metastasis or ovarian enlargement were found on imaging examination. At the same time, the combination of lifestyle intervention and lipid lowering treatment can improve patients ' metabolic abnormalities, alleviate psychological anxiety, and improve their quality of life.
