Novel method using Hjorth mobility analysis for diagnosing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in girls

Background

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood neuropsychiatric disorder. Diagnosis of ADHD is based on core symptoms or checklists; however, practitioner subjectivity inevitably results in instances of over- or under-diagnosis. Although an elevated theta/beta ratio (TBR) of the electroencephalography (EEG) band has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a factor that may be used in diagnosis of ADHD, several studies have reported no significant differences between the TBR of patients with ADHD and controls.

全身振动训练联合正弦交变电磁场对去卵巢骨质疏松大鼠骨密度、骨代谢指标的影响研究

目的探讨全身振动训练联合正弦交变电磁场对去卵巢骨质疏松大鼠骨密度、骨代谢、骨生物力学性能的影响。方法将100只大鼠随机分为切除卵巢组和对照组,分别进行卵巢切除术和假手术,大鼠进行6周恢复,恢复后将造模成功的切除卵巢大鼠随机分为模型组(MO组)、全身振动训练组(W组)、正弦交变电磁场组(S组)、全身振动训练+正弦交变电磁场组(WS组),对照组列为假手术组(SO组),进行为期16周干预,干预结束后对大鼠进行骨密度、骨代谢、骨生物力学性质的检测。结果16周干预完成后,MO组、S组大鼠体质量显著高于SO组、W组、WS组大鼠(P0. 05); W组、WS组、SO组大鼠骨密度指标、血清雌二醇浓度指标明显高于大鼠MO组(P0. 05); SO组大鼠血清雌二醇浓度指标明显高于S组、W组、WS组(P0. 05); M组大鼠血清OC、ALP浓度明显高于SO组、W组、S组、WS组大鼠(P0. 05);尿液DPD/Cre、Ca/Cre、P/Cre浓度方面,M组大鼠明显高于SO组、W组、S组、WS组大鼠(P0. 05)。SO组、W组、S组、WS组大鼠股骨最大载荷和弹性模型明显高于MO组大鼠(P0. 05)。SO组、W组、S组、WS组大鼠股骨断裂载荷组间无明显差异(P0. 05); SO组、W组、S组、WS组大鼠股骨弹性模量明显高于MO组大鼠(P0. 05)。SO组大鼠股骨弹性模量明显高于S组大鼠(P0. 05),但与W组、WS组大鼠没有明显差异(P0. 05)。L4椎体压缩试验,SO组、W组、S组、WS组大鼠股骨最大载荷和弹性模型明显高于MO组大鼠(P0. 05)。SO组大鼠高于S组、W组,差异有统计学意义(P0. 05),但与WS组大鼠没有明显差异(P0. 05)。结论全身振动训练、正弦交变电磁场、全身振动训练联合正弦交变电磁场3种干预方式施用于去卵巢骨质疏松大鼠均能提升骨密度、抑制骨吸收、平衡骨代谢、改善骨骼结构力学和材料力学性能。而全身振动训练联合正弦交变电磁场能的治疗效果优于单纯使用全身振动训练或正弦交变电磁场,在临床应用中有一定推广价值。     

Best practices on immunomodulators and biologic agents for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in Asia

The Asia–Pacific Working Group on Inflammatory Bowel Disease was established in Cebu, Philippines, under the auspices of the Asia–Pacific Association of Gastroenterology with the goal of improving inflammatory bowel disease care in Asia. This consensus is carried out in collaboration with Asian Organization for Crohn's and Colitis. With biologic agents and biosimilars becoming more established, it is necessary to conduct a review on existing literature and establish a consensus on when and how to introduce biologic agents and biosimilars in conjunction with conventional treatments for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in Asia. These statements also address how pharmacogenetics influences the treatments of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease and provides guidance on response monitoring and strategies to restore loss of response. Finally, the review includes statements on how to manage treatment alongside possible hepatitis B and tuberculosis infections, both common in Asia. These statements have been prepared and voted upon by members of inflammatory bowel disease workgroup employing the modified Delphi process. These statements do not intend to be all‐encompassing, and future revisions are likely as new data continue to emerge.     

疫情防控期间某医院开展临床医学课程在线教学的SWOT分析

利用SWOT理论分析疫情防控期间教学医院开展在线教学的内外部竞争环境和竞争条件。在综合性大学附属某医院开展临床医学课程在线教学，具有资源优势、组织优势和平台优势；但也存在临床医学专业的课程特殊性、临床教学医院的教师身份特殊性、疫情防控背景下在线教学的软硬件特殊性等劣势；为医院对标国家一流课程建设、发挥课程思政在教学阵地的主作用、营造主动型学习生态圈提供了发展基础；也对未来教学模式、教学管理模式、教学空间变革提出了挑战。基于此，提出推进医院医学教育信息化建设；全面提升教师信息素养；筑构适应于医院管理环境的教育信息化平台；搭建基于智慧教学空间的多元评价体系；基于多学科建设线上线下混合式课程体系等措施，以推进医院医学教育信息化建设和提升教学管理效率，促进“新医科”建设。     

B cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement: A clinicopathological study of 13 cases

Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) rearrangement is commonly detected in patients with a range of lymphoproliferative malignancies, including myelomas, large B cell lymphomas and low-grade B cell neoplasms. However, IRF4 rearrangement is generally a relatively rare finding in these latter two cancer types. In the present article, we describe and summarize the clinicopathological and genetic features of 13 cases of B cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement, including 12 cases of large B cell lymphoma and one case of low-grade lymphoma exhibiting such rearrangement. These cases were detected in six females and seven males between 14 and 71 years of age. From a morphological perspective, large B cell lymphoma tumors included in this analysis exhibited large neoplastic cells in diffuse or follicular patterns, while the case of low-grade lymphoma mainly composed of small lymphocytes. All analyzed cases exhibited a split in the IRF4 gene consistent with IRF4 translocation. Three of six analyzed large B cell lymphoma cases harbored IGLL5 mutations. Mutations in SAMHD1 were detected in the low-grade lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement case. In summary, our results offer further insight into the morphological and molecular heterogeneity of cases of B cell lymphoma exhibiting IRF4 rearrangements.     

Secondary stone formation 8 weeks after percutaneous nephrolithotomy treatment: A case report

Introduction:This work reports a patient with recurrent renal calculi subjected to three surgeries in half a year to be in the same position, and the high-throughput sequencing data showed different species in the renal pus and urine samples, which suggested that partial renal infection or stone formation can be judged by the bacteria in urine.Patient concerns:The female patient aged 43 years was referred to the authors’ department on April 13, 2020, due to left waist pain and fever for 3 days.Diagnosis:Kidney stones and hydronephrosis were determined by a urinary system computed tomography scan.Interventions:On April 20, 2020 and June 15, 2020, the patient was successfully treated with left percutaneous nephrolithotomy twice under general anesthesia. An investigation on the health and eating habits of the patient within 6 months was completed at the last admission. The components of the second renal calculus sample were analyzed with an infrared spectrum analyzer. The third renal stone (renal pus, triplicates) was subjected to microbial metagenome sequencing, and urine samples before and after surgery were subjected to 16S RNA sequencing by SEQHEALTH (Wuhan, China).Outcomes:After percutaneous nephrolithotomy, the left kidney stones were basically cleared, stone analysis revealed that the main components were calcium oxalate monohydrate, silica, and a small amount of calcium oxalate dehydrate. Although the urine samples exhibited differences, the renal pus and urine sample shared a single species.Conclusion:It is not clear that the prospects of partial renal infection or stone formation can be judged by the bacteria in urine.
