简介：AbstractBackground:There are an increasing number of patients with oral sensory complaints (OSCs) presenting to our dental clinic. For most dentists, it is difficult to distinguish burning mouth syndrome (BMS) from other oral mucosal diseases that may cause symptoms such as burning mouth. It is beneficial to effectively distinguish OSC patients to reduce misdiagnosis and eliminate burning symptoms as much as possible.Methods:Patients with oral burning sensations in the oral mucosal disease clinic were collected from the Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between September 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018. After excluding oral candidiasis, anemic stomatitis, dental material allergy, and other diseases from patients with oral sensory complaints, basic conditions such as gender, age, education level, job status, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, history of brain abnormalities, history of cervical spondylitis, history of thyroid disease, history of thyroid disease and insomnia were obtained. The BMS patients were compared with the control group. The t test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis to compare the clinical symptoms of these diseases and explore the risk factors for BMS.Results:In this case-control study, 395 patients (321 females and 74 males, mean age 55.26 ± 10.51 years) with oral sensory complaints and 391 healthy controls (281 females and 110 males, mean age 47.11 ± 13.10 years) were enrolled, among which, 8.4% (33/395) had oral candidiasis, 1.3% (5/395) had dental material allergy, 0.8% (3/395) had anemic stomatitis and 0.5% (2/395) had lichen planus. A total of 352 patients were eventually diagnosed with BMS. Anxiety and depression were more severe in BMS patients, as were the incidences of sleep disorders and brain abnormalities. Logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]= 2.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.61-4.83, P < 0.001), total cholesterol level (OR= 2.92, 95% CI: 1.32-6.50, P = 0.009) and anxiety score (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.01-2.77, P = 0.017) significantly increased the incidence of BMS. Patients with hyperglycemia (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.23-0.89, P = 0.022), low body mass index (BMI: OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.34-0.93, P = 0.026) and low education level (OR = 3.43, 95% CI: 1.91-6.15, P < 0.001) were more likely to suffer from BMS.Conclusions:Oral candidiasis, anemic stomatitis, and dental material allergy with burning symptoms should be excluded from patients with BMS. It is recommended to conduct a questionnaire survey (including anxiety and depression), blood cell analysis, and salivary fungus culture for all patients with an oral burning sensation. It is necessary to conduct a patch test on patients with oral burning sensations and metal restorations.

简介：AbstractObjective:To investigate and analyze changes of T lymphocyte and other lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with the goal of improving clinical understanding and the value of research applications.Methods:General data of 66 confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the Fifth Medical Center of Beijing PLA General Hospital from January 2 to March 23, 2020 were collected in this retrospective case-control observational study, and they were divided into mild (n=26), mid-grade (n=19), and severe/critical disease groups (n=21) according to disease severity. Neutrophils, lymphocytes, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, CD4 absolute counts, CD8 absolute counts, and CD4/CD8 expression ratios of peripheral whole blood among the three patient groups were compared. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Fifth Medical Center, General Hospital of Chinese PLA (approval No. 2020-69-D) on May 5, 2020.Results:Among the 66 COVID-19 patients examined, 38 were male and 28 were female, with an average age of 53 ± 17 years. Among patients, 26 cases were mild, 19 cases were mid-grade, and 21 cases were severe/critical. Neutrophils, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios, and CD4+/CD8+ ratios of the severe/critical group were significantly higher compared with mild and mid-grade groups (P < 0.01); however, there was no obvious difference between mid-grade and mild groups (P > 0.05). Lymphocytes, CD4 absolute counts, and CD8+ absolute counts of the severe/critical group were significantly lower compared with mild and mid-grade groups (P < 0.01); however, there was no significant difference between mid-grade and mild groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion:Counts of lymphocytes and T lymphocytes in severe/critically ill patients were decreased, which is of great significance for the identification of severe and critical COVID-19 patients.

简介：AbstractBackground:Early detection of gastric cancer (GC) has been the topic of major efforts in China. This study aimed to explore the risk factors associated with GC and to provide evidence for the selection of a high-risk population of GC.Methods:Based on the cancer screening cohort of the National Cancer Screening Program in Urban China, GC patients diagnosed by endoscopy and pathological examinations constituted the case group, and controls were 1:3 matched by sex and age (±5 years) individually. The variables were selected by univariable analysis of factors such as body mass index (BMI), dietary habits, lifestyle, stomach disease history, and family history of GC; and multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of GC and to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of related factors and its 95% confidence interval (CI).Results:A total of 215 GC cases and 645 matched healthy controls were included in the final analysis, with a median age of 61 years for the case and control groups. Overall analysis showed that high educational level (above primary school) (OR = 0.362, 95% CI = 0.219-0.599, P < 0.001), overweight/obesity (BMI ≥24 kg/m2; OR= 0.489, 95% CI = 0.329-0.726, P < 0.001), cigarette smoking (OR = 3.069, 95% CI = 1.700-5.540, P < 0.001), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.661, 95% CI = 1.028-2.683, P = 0.038), history of stomach disease (OR = 6.917, 95% CI = 4.594-10.416, P < 0.001), and family history of GC in first-degree relatives (OR = 4.291, 95% CI = 1.661-11.084, P = 0.003) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of GC. Subgroup analyses by age and gender indicated that GC risk was still increased in the presence of a history of stomach disease. A history of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, or gastric polyposis was positively associated with GC, with adjusted ORs of 4.155 (95% CI = 2.711-6.368), 1.839 (95% CI = 1.028-3.288), and 2.752 (95% CI = 1.197-6.326).Conclusions:Subjects who smoke, drink, with history of stomach disease and family history of GC in first-degree relatives are the high-risk populations for GC. Therefore, attention should be paid to these subjects for GC screening.

简介：AbstractObjective:This study aimed to investigate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PCSK1 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1) related to obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:In this case-control observational study, four candidate SNPs (rs6234, rs155971, rs6232, rs3811951) of PCSK1 were genotyped in 732 NAFLD patients and 823 healthy control participants, all of whom were of ethnic Han Chinese descent. All participants came from Shanghai, China, and joined our study during 2015 to 2016. The frequencies of each allele and genotype, paired linkage disequilibrium, and haplotype were calculated on the SHEsis platform. In addition to SHEsis, five different genetic models (codominant, dominant, recessive, overdominant, and log-additive) were employed to identify the correlation between genotype frequency and NAFLD. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (approved No. 2017LCSY069).Results:In a comparison of NAFLD patients and healthy participants, none of the four PCSK1 SNPs were significantly correlated with the occurrence of NAFLD (P>0.05), in either genotypic or allelic distribution. The recessive model of rs3811951 appeared to show a correlation (odds ratio=1.077; 95% confidence interval=0.924-1.256; P=0.04), but there was no statistical significance after Bonferroni correction (Pcorr>0.0125).Conclusions:Four obesity-related PCSK1 SNPs (rs6234, rs155971, rs6232, rs3811951) showed no significant correlation with the development of NAFLD in a Han Chinese population.

简介：AbstractBackground:Geriatric hip fracture patients receiving clopidogrel are a surgical challenge. In China, most of these patients undergo delayed surgical treatment after clopidogrel withdrawal for at least 5 to 7 days. However, delayed surgery is associated with increased complications and mortality in the older adults. This retrospective paralleled comparison study investigated the safety of early surgery for geriatric hip fracture patients within 5 days of clopidogrel withdrawal.Methods:Acute hip fracture patients (≥65 years) who were hospitalized in the orthogeriatric co-management ward of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between November 2016 and April 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Sixty patients taking clopidogrel before injury and discontinued <5 days before surgery constituted the clopidogrel group. The control group constituted 60 patients not taking antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs and matched 1:1 with the clopidogrel group for sex, fracture type, operative procedure, and time from injury to operation (±10 h). The primary outcome was perioperative blood loss and the secondary outcomes were transfusion requirement, complications, and mortality. The Student’s t test or Wilcoxon signed rank sum test was used for continuous variables and the Chi-square test was used for categorical variables.Results:Age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and percentage undergoing general anesthesia were comparable between the groups (P > 0.050). The percentages of patients with coronary heart disease (61.7% vs. 18.3%; P < 0.001) and cerebrovascular disease (45.0% vs. 15.0%; P < 0.010) were significantly higher in the clopidogrel vs. control groups, respectively. The median clopidogrel discontinuation time before operation was 73.0 (range: 3.0-120.0) h. There was no significant difference in the estimated perioperative blood loss between the clopidogrel group (median: 745 mL) and control group (median: 772 mL) (P = 0.866). The intra-operative transfusion rate was higher in the clopidogrel group (22/60, 36.7%) than that in the control group (12/60, 20.0%) (P < 0.050). However, there was no significant difference in the blood transfusion rate during the entire perioperative period (26/60, 43.3% vs. 20/60, 33.3%; clopidogrel group vs. control group, respectively; P > 0.050). There was no significant difference in perioperative complications, and 30-day and 1-year mortality rates between the groups.Conclusions:Early hip fracture surgery is safe for elderly patients within 5 days of clopidogrel withdrawal, without increased perioperative blood loss, transfusion requirement, complications, and mortality compared with patients not taking antiplatelet drugs.

简介：AbstractObjective:To identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy in patients with Siewert type II/III adenocarcinoma (AEG) of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study of 903 patients with Siewert type II/III AEG treated from January 2012 to January 2015 at the Shanxi Cancer Hospital in China. All patients underwent gastrectomy, and their clinical characteristics were analyzed to identify associations with anastomotic leakage. Independent risk factors were identified by binary logistic regression. The 2-year disease-free survival was calculated and compared between patients with anastomotic leakage and control patients. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Shanxi Medical University (approval No. 2014-09-39) on September 19, 2014.Results:Out of the 903 patients were included in the study, 80 (8.86%, 80/903) experienced anastomotic leakage. The mortality rate attributed to anastomotic leakage was 8.75% (7/80). Logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative hypoalbuminemia (odds ratio (OR)=3.249, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.569-6.725, P=0.002), type of reconstruction (OR=1.795, 95% CI: 1.026-3.142, P=0.040), and combined organ resection (OR=1.807, 95% CI: 1.069-3.055, P=0.027) were independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage.Conclusion:Preoperative hypoalbuminemia, type of reconstruction, and combined organ resection were identified as risk factors for anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing gastrectomy for Siewert type II/III AEG.

简介：AbstractObjective:To investigate the association of rs5210 in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily J member 11 (KCNJ11) with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:Six hundred and thirty-two uncorrelated pregnancy females were recruited in Tongji hospital from October 2017 to June 2018, in which 241 pregnant women were identified as GDM, and 391 were non-GDM. All the pregnant women recruited in this study their peripheral venous blood of 5 mL were withdrawn, and DNA in the blood was extracted. rs5210 in KCNJ11 were genotyped using TaqMan Assays and genotype models were analyzed using logistic regression analyses.Results:After adjusting age and body mass index, the variant genotypes of rs5210 in genotype models were as follows: P for dominant model was 0.945, (odd ratio: 0.987, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.681-1.430); P for recessive model: 0.556, (odd ratio: 1.217, 95% CI: 0.633-2.343) and P for addictive model was 0.098 (genotype AA vs. GG), (odds ratio: 1.435, 95% CI: 0.936-2.201). Weight-gain during pregnancy and total cholesterol were significantly different in recessive model (P= 0.015, P= 0.022, respectively) of all participants.Conclusion:No significant association between gene susceptibility of rs5210 in KCNJ11 and GDM occurrence in Chinese pregnant women. But the variant of rs5210 was associated with weight-gain during pregnancy and total cholesterol blood levels. However, more cases are needed in genetic study to check its susceptibility with GDM occurrence in Chinese women.

简介：AbstractBackground:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Genome-wide association studies in non-Asian population revealed a link between COPD and mutations in the PTCH1 gene encoding Patched1, a receptor in the Hedgehog signaling pathway important for lung morphogenesis and pulmonary function. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PTCH1 polymorphisms and the COPD risk in the Chinese Han population.Methods:We performed a case-control study including 296 patients with COPD and 300 healthy individuals. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the PTCH1 gene were identified and genotyped based on the linkage disequilibrium analysis in all participants. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated using logistic regression analysis after adjustment for age, gender, and smoking.Results:In total, 28 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were identified in patients with COPD. Among them, "A" allele of rs28491365 (OR: 1.388, 95% CI: 1.055-1.827, P = 0.018), and "G" alleles of rs10512248 (OR: 1.299, 95% CI: 1.021-1.653, P = 0.033) and rs28705285 (OR: 1.359, 95% CI: 1.024-1.803, P = 0.033; respectively) were significantly associated with an increased COPD risk. Genetic model analysis revealed that the "T/T" genotype of rs34695652 was associated with a decreased COPD risk under the recessive model (OR: 0.490, 95% CI: 0.270-0.880, P = 0.010), whereas rs28504650/rs10512248 haplotype CG was significantly associated with an increased COPD risk after adjustment for age, gender, and smoking status (OR: 6.364, 95% CI: 1.220-33.292, P = 0.028).Conclusions:The study provides a new insight into the role of PTCH1 polymorphisms in the susceptibility to COPD in the Chinese Han population.

简介：AbstractObjective:Venlafaxine is a common antidepressant and its therapeutic effect varies among people with different genetic backgrounds. The aim of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SLC17A7 gene are associated with the treatment outcome of venlafaxine in a Chinese Han population with major depressive disorder.Methods:This prospective pharmacogenetic case-control study that involved genotyping of four SNPs of SLC17A7 was conducted on 175 major depressive disorder patients of Chinese Han origin, aged 18 to 65 years, participated in the study from April 2005 to September 2006. Comparisons of allele and genotype frequencies of all SNPs were performed between the responder/remission group and the nonresponder/nonremission group. This study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of Sichuan University (approval No. 20151112-265).Results:The allele and genotype frequencies of the four candidate SNPs in SCL17A7 showed no significant difference between responders and nonresponders. Meanwhile, no significant difference was detected in the four investigated SLC17A7 SNPs between patients who did and did not exhibit remission. Although one of the investigated SLC17A7 variants (rs1578944) demonstrated a significant association (P=0.022) with a response to venlafaxine after 6 weeks of treatment in the survival analysis, the association was unclear after a Bonferroni multiple comparisons test was conducted.Conclusion:No significant association exists between the four candidate SNPs (rs1043558, rs1320301, rs1578944, and rs74174284) in SLC17A7 and venlafaxine treatment in the Chinese Han population.

简介：AbstractObjective:Laboratory diagnosis of neurosyphilis (NS) remains a great challenge. This study was the aimed to identify miRNA candidates as biomarkers to distinguish between NS, non-neurosyphilis, and healthy controls (HCs).Methods:We analyzed miRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from six patients with NS, eight patients with secondary syphilis (SS), and five HCs using microarray technology. The differentially expressed miRNAs were validated in 33 NS samples, 31 SS samples, and 30 HC samples using TaqMan miRNA real-time qPCR (qRT-PCR).Results:Thirty-nine miRNAs were differentially expressed in SS and NS patients compared with HCs. Thirteen miRNAs were randomly selected to validate their expression levels in the same samples used in microarray assay by qRT-PCR. All miRNAs were upregulated in SS and NS samples compared with HC. qRT-PCR analysis of the expression of the 13 miRNAs in a second cohort (76 samples) showed that the average expression levels of nine miRNAs were higher in SS than in NS (SS: 0.185, NS: 0.136, P=3.8E-10), while the expressions of the other four miRNAs were lower in SS than in NS (SS: 0.000757, NS: 0.000873, P=0.022). ROC curve analysis of the 13 miRNAs showed the area under the curve value to be 1.00 for distinguishing SS patients from HCs, 1.00 for distinguishing NS patients from HCs, 1.00 for distinguishing SS and NS patients from HCs, and 0.968 for distinguishing NS from SS patients.Conclusion:The present study is the first one that identified differentially expressed miRNAs in PBMCs from patients with NS. Our results suggest that the 13 candidate miRNAs in PBMCs may be novel noninvasive biomarkers for NS diagnosis.

简介：AbstractBackground:The association of lipids and cancer has varied greatly among different cancer types, lipid components and study populations. This study is aimed to investigate the association of serum lipids and the risk of malignant lesions in esophageal squamous epithelium.Methods:In the "Endoscopic Screening for Esophageal Cancer in China" (ESECC) trial, serum samples were collected and tested for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol at the time of subject enrollment. Cases were defined as malignant esophageal lesions identified by baseline endoscopic examination or by follow-up to May 31, 2018. Controls were randomly selected using incidence density sampling in the same cohort. Conditional logistic models were applied to identify the association of serum lipids and the risk of malignant esophageal lesions. Effect modification was evaluated by testing interaction terms of the factor under assessment and these serum lipid indicators.Results:No consistent association between serum lipid levels and esophageal malignant lesions were found in a pooled analysis of 211 cases and 2101 controls. For individuals with a family history of esophageal cancer (EC), high TC, and LDL-C were associated with a significantly increased risk of having malignant lesions (odds ratio [OR]Highvs.Low TC = 2.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-4.35; ORHighvs.Low LDL-C = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.01-3.65). However, a negative association was observed in participants without an EC family history (ORHighvs.Low TC = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.48-0.98, Pinteraction = 0.002; ORHighvs.Low LDL-C = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.34-0.76, Pinteraction < 0.001).Conclusions:In this study, we found that the association of serum lipids and malignant esophageal lesions might be modified by EC family history. The stratified analysis would be crucial for population-based studies investigating the association of serum lipids and cancer. The mechanism by which a family history of EC modifies this association warrants further investigation.
