Objective To investigated the absorbed dose response of Al2O3 dosimeter in water phantom irradiated by 60Co γ spectrum source. Methods The EGSnre simulation program code DOSRZnrc was used to calculate the absorbed dose of the Al2O3 dosimeter and that of the equivalent volume of water in the corresponding position, as well as the absorbed dose conversion factor, irradiated by 60Co photon beams in a water phantom. Simulations were done for a eylindrieal geometry dosimeter (diameter 0.4 cm and height 0.1 cm) and the dosimeter was placed at the centre of the water phantom at different depths. Results The average absorbed dose conversion factor is 1.143 ± 0.006 and changes little with the depth of the dosimeter in the water phantom, and the deviation is less than 1.0 %. Conclusion The absorbed dose response of Al2O3 dosimeter irradiated by 60Co γ spectrum source is steady and is independent on the depth of the dosimeter in water phantom in this research.

Abstract: To report the diagnosis and treatment of Mucor infection in two cases of renal transplantation, and to provide reference for diagnosis and treatment of Mucor infection. Case 1, a male patient, who underwent allogeneic kidney transplantation due to increased creatinine for more than 8 years. The renal function had partially recovered 25 days after the operation, but then the patient suddenly got worse epigastric pain. Pathogen culture, smear microscopy, mass spectrometry identification and next-generation metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) were performed on the peritoneal drainage, with the result pointing to Rhizopus microsporus. The patient's condition improved after antifungal treatment using amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC) and was discharged. Case 2, a male patient with hypertension and increased creatinine for more than 7 years was admitted to the hospital. After allograft kidney transplantation, tissue culture smear and histopathological examination suggested Mucor infection. The patient then underwent a "hand muscle debridement surgery + closed negative pressure drainage (VSD)" procedure, and amphotericin B was given postoperative treatment against Mucor infection and debridement. Subsequent retesting with mNGS showed no signs of Mucor infection. In the course of treatment, two patients developed abdominal pain after treatment with tegacycline, which was immediately diagnosed as pancreatitis and recovered after withdrawal. Both patients being male, with one case associated with hypertension. After initially guiding the diagnosis with traditional smear tests, final confirmation was done using histopathological examination, mNGS and mass spectrometry. One case was infected by Rhizopus microspora, and the other was infected by Rhizopus oryzae and Cunninghamia microbicans. The causes leading to Mucor infection in patients post renal transplantation varied greatly. Early diagnosis is the key to treatment of patients with Mucor infection after renal transplantation. Treatment with amphoteric B and its liposome is an effective means to improve mucormycosis patients after renal transplantation. The use of amphotericin B lipid complex treatment proved to be an effective treatment method for patients with Mucor infection after renal transplantation.

Objective To explore the effect of TGF-β microbubble targeting on the treatment of skeletal muscle injury in rats.MethodsEighty SD rats of 2 months old were randomly divided into experimental group(including TGF-β microbubble),pure drug group,microbubble group(exclusive drug) and control group,20 SD rats in each group.Four groups accepted ultrasonic transmission with consistent time and frequency.The contraction stress and stress relaxation of injured gastrocnemius muscle were measured,the changes of injured gastrocnemius muscle were observed by light microscope and electron microscope.Results There was no statistically significant difference in contraction stress of gastrocnemius muscle among all groups at 1,5,9 days after injury(P>0.05).And at 14 days,the contraction stress of gastrocnemius muscle of the experimental group and the pure drug group were obviously higher than those of the rest two groups,the differences were significant(P<0.05).The difference of gastrocnemius muscle contraction stress was statistically significant between the experimental group and the pure drug group(P<0.05).For the stress relaxation of gastrocnemius muscle,the experimental group was lower than the other three groups at 1 day after injury,the differences were significant(P<0.05).Light microscopy showed the number of muscle fiber in the experimental group increased obviously at 9 days after injury.There was no scarring at 14 days after injury.Electron microscope showed mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum increased in the experimental group,and the new muscle cells and satellite cells were significantly more than those of the rest three groups.Conclusion TGF-β cell targeted therapy can obviously improve the shrinkage stress of skeletal muscle in rats after injury and recover the stress decay,which can obviously promote the injury repair and regeneration of skeletal muscle,and reduce scar formation at the same time.

Abstract： Objective　To analyze the characteristics and corresponding drug resistance of pathogenic bacterial spectrum in eight major infection sites of hospitalized patients, and to provide epidemiological data for the rational selection of antibiotics in clinical practice. Methods　A total of 396 bacterial strains isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in member institutions of the Hainan Provincial Bacterial Resistance Monitoring Network from September 1, 2020, to September 30, 2022, were included in this study. Data were screened and filtered from the database of MH120 Microbial Identification and Drug Sensitivity Analysis System based on the technical scheme of the National Bacterial Drug Resistance Surveillance Network and Science and Technology Basic Resources Investigation Project research plan in 2020. The testing data were integrated, summarized, and analyzed using EXCEL and WHONET 5.6 software, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. Results　Among of 396 strains of bacteria, 78 (19.7%) were isolated from respiratory tract specimens, 74 (18.7%) from urinary tract specimens, 72 (18.2%) from blood specimens, 54 (13.6%) from abdominal cavity specimens, 48 (12.1%) from skin and soft tissue specimens 48 strains (12.1%), 30 (7.6%) from reproductive tract specimens, 22 (5.6%) from central nervous system specimens, 18 (4.5%) from digestive tract specimens. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 69.4% of the isolates, while gram-positive bacteria accounted for 30.6%. The top five gram-negative bacteria isolated were Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.9%), Escherichia coli (14.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (5.3%), and Salmonella species (4.5%). The top five gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (11.1%), Streptococcus agalactis (7.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (3.0%), Enterococcus faecium (2.8%), and Streptococcus suis (1.8%). Respiratory failure and bloodstream infection were independent influencing factors of treatment response (P<0.01). The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to ampicillin was 81.4%, and the resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to gentamicin and levofloxacin were both below 7%. Conclusions　The pathogen spectra vary with different infection sites of patients, and rational selection of antibiotics based on drug susceptibility testing is crucial to shorten the treatment time of patients and avoid the unnecessary emergence of drug-resistant strains caused by drug abuse.
