Gauze packing and drainage is a routine treatment for various types of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers. Because the external orifice of pressure ulcer or fistula is relatively small and the sinus deep, the conventional gauze packing has many drawbacks. Under the situation the operator is not skillful enough and no appropriate tools, it is necessary to pull the external orifice by tweezers to dilate the sinus and perform gauze packing and drainage, which brings great pain to patients, possibly leading to wound enlargement and delayed healing. At present, there is lack of auxiliary tools to improve gauze packing. Therefore, we developed and designed a gauze filler for packing and drainage of various kinds of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers, the device has the following advantages: good drainage effect, simple operation, low cost, safety and effectiveness. It not only improves the comfort of patients, reduces the number of dressing changes, reduce the number of dressing changes, shorten the hospitalization time and pay expense, but also reduces the burden of medical workers thus it is worthwhile to popularize and apply the newly designed gauze filler in clinical practice.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2019;31(6):425-428
The pathogenesis of colorectal cancer is related to genetic and environmental factors. Chronic inflammation of the intestinal mucosa is one of the most important factors in environmental factors. In inflammation factors, Intestinal flora plays a role in bridging and inducing intervention. Environmental changes disrupt the homeostasis of intestinal flora, intestinal flora maladjustment occurred, bacteria induces intestinal mucosal inflammation. The pathogenic bacterium adheres to the surface of the intestinal mucosa, it produces cytotoxic and genotoxic products, intestinal epithelial cells undergo genetic damage. The synthesis and metabolites of bacteria also control the occurrence of colorectal tumor process. This process leads to the progression of inflammation to cancer. This article reviews the process of intestinal flora mediated from inflammation to carcinogenesis, and the latest progress in related pathogenic bacteria, and proposes that the intestinal flora can be adjusted and targeted removal of the conditional pathogenic bacteria, and achieve the goal of cancer prevention. The relationship between intestinal flora, intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer is reviewed.

Objective To observe the application of multiple fluorescent PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) in the diagnosis and clinical detection of bloodstream infection. Methods 256 blood cultures were collected by the Laboratory Department of Yinzhou People′s Hospital from January 2018 to May 2018, and were detected by multiplex fluorescent PCR. The results of the PCR were compared with the traditional blood culture bacteria identification instrument (traditional blood culture method). The number of positive and negative samples and the number of corresponding samples of the two methods were counted. Then, they analyzed the specificity and sensitivity of multiplex fluorescence PCR in the diagnosis of bloodstream flow infections. Results A total of 18 pathogenic microbes are detected through blood culture and PCR. Multiple fluorescent PCR detects 142 positive samples and 114 negative samples. Among them, 132 samples also show positive through blood culture, and 111 samples show negative. The consistency rate between multiple PCR and traditional blood cultures is 91.8% (235/256). The negative prediction rate of PCR is 97.4% (111/114), sensitivity rate 97.8% (132/135), specificity rate 91.7% (111/121). 10 samples show positive through multiple fluorescence PCR but negative for blood culture, 3 samples show positive through blood culture but negative for PCR. Besides, there are 3 types of pathogens that exceed the detection range of PCR. Conclusions Multiplex PCR method can detect 17 pathogens in blood culture specimens of patients, which can not only optimize the traditional blood culture process, but also greatly shorten the reporting time and improve the detection rate of blood culture methods. Especially for patients treated with antibiotics, it can reduce missed detection and improve the diagnostic rate of bloodstream infections.

BACKGROUND:As a unique structure of the cervical spine,the occurrence,development and progression of the uncovertebral joint directly affect the stability and range of motion of the cervical spine,and are also closely related to the pathogenesis of cervical spondylosis.A thorough understanding of the developmental characteristics of the uncovertebral joint is of great significance for the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of cervical spondylosis. OBJECTIVE:By using imaging and three-dimensional reconstruction technology to measure and observe the cervical uncinate process-related angle in a large sample of different age groups,the aim is to reveal the characteristics of its changes with age and vertebral growth,as well as its relationship with cervical spine stability. METHODS:Using a retrospective research design,we collected 1 447 cases of raw CT imaging data that meet the study requirements for complete cervical spine segments.The raw data were imported into Mimics 21.0 software in DICOM format for post-processing and measurement of angle of uncinate process and sagittal angle of uncinate process.The data were grouped based on gender,age,and side. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of vertebral sequence,the angle of uncinate process increased in a V-shaped shape,and the lowest peak was at C5.The overall population showed a sharp peak with the increase of age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 30-39 years.(2)The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increased like a fishhook with the increase of the vertebral sequence,and the overall angle of the uncinate process increased with age,and the peak value mostly occurred in the age range of 20-29 years.The uncinate process angle and sagittal angle showed only partial significant differences between sides and genders(P<0.05).(3)It is concluded that the angle of the uncinate process increased with the increase of vertebral sequence in a V-shaped manner.The sagittal angle of the uncinate process increases like a fish hook with increasing vertebral order,while the two angles generally peak with increasing age.The angle of the uncinate process is about 131°,which may be closely related to the stability of the cervical spine,while the sagittal angle of the uncinate process is about 14°,and its function may play a certain role in limiting the excessive rotation of the cervical spine.
