Objective:To evaluate the correlation between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and inflammatory markers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with depressive symptoms.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. RA patients' medical history were recorded and disease activity was evaluated. Serum BDNF, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were tested and clinical inflammatory indicators such as C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen (FIB), serum amyloid A (SAA) were recorded. RA patients were instructed to fill in the patient health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale by themselves. Patients with a score greater than or equal to 5 were included in the RA with depressive symptoms group, and patients with a score of 4 or less were included in the RA without depressive symptoms group. The changes in BDNF and inflammatory indexes were compared between the two groups. Correlation analysis of PHQ-9, BDNF, inflammatory markers and DAS28 was performed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to find the risk factors of depression in RA.Results:A total of 140 RA patients were enrolled in this study, and 66 patients (47.1%) with a PHQ-9 score greater than or equal to 5 were included in the RA with depressive symptoms group. Compared with the RA without depressive symptoms group, RA patients with high disease activity, single and living alone, poor economic self-awareness and unemployed were more likely to have depressive symptoms. The serum level of BDNF[(2 276±333) pg/ml vs (1 367±431) pg/ml, t=13.91, P<0.001], IL-6[(39±28) pg/ml vs (27±8) pg/ml, t=3.66, P<0.001], TNF-α[(9.0±7.2) pg/ml vs (6.6±3.9)pg/ml, t=2.43, P=0.035], CRP[(25±13) mg/L vs (17±11) mg/L, t=3.94, P<0.001], ESR[(48±18) mm/1 h vs (34±21) mm/1 h, t=4.14, P=0.024], Fib[(3.8±1.1) g/L vs (3.0±0.5) g/L, t=5.92, P=0.023], SAA[(64±39) mg/L vs (37±19) mg/L, t=5.32, P<0.001] in RA with depressive symptoms group were significantly higher than those in RA without depressive symptoms group. Serum BDNF was significantly positively correlated with PHQ-9 score ( r=0.66, P<0.001), IL-6( r=0.20, P=0.019), TNF-α ( r=0.14, P=0.090), CRP ( r=0.32, P<0.001), ESR ( r=0.20, P= 0.001), Fib ( r=0.28, P=0.001), SAA( r=0.28, P=0.001) and DAS28 ( r=0.37, P<0.001) . BDNF [ OR (95% CI) =1.578(1.257, 2.354), P=0.001], IL-6[ OR (95% CI) =1.073(1.012, 1.075), P=0.006], CRP[ OR(95% CI)=1.085(1.045, 1.178), P=0.001], SAA[ OR(95% CI)=1.125(1.004, 1.198), P=0.018] and unemployment were risk factors for depressive symptoms in RA. Conclusion:Serum BDNF is positively correlated with PHQ-9 scores, inflammatory markers and disease activity in RA patients. BDNF, IL-6, CRP, SAA and unemployment are risk factors for depressive symptoms in RA. Effective treatment of RA can reduce the occurrence of depression symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the etiological diagnostic value of metagenomic sequencing in central nervous system (CNS) infectious diseases.Methods:A total of 170 patients with central nervous system infection admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2020 were selected as the study subjects according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. General clinical data and pathogen test results were collected. All included patients underwent routine examination and mNGS test, and were divided into the conventional method test group and mNGS test group according to the test results. The measurement data conforming to normal distribution were represented by ± s; The measurement data that did not conform to normal distribution were represented by median and interquartile range. The classification data were expressed by the number of cases and percentage( n,%), and were compared by χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Consistency test was represented by Kappa value. The detection of pathogenic microorganisms by the two methods and the rule of pathogen spectrum were compared and analyzed. Results:The overall positive rate of mNGS in CNS infectious diseases was higher than that of conventional methods (58.23% vs. 18.82%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Among the 20 samples which were both positive by the two methods, 10 cases were completely pathogenic, 5 cases were partially consistent and 5 cases were completely inconsistent. In the detection of tuberculous nervous system infection, the positive rates were 66.7%, 53.8%, 44.0%, 40.0%, 4.0% in blood T-SPOT, cerebrospinal fluid mNGS, ADA, Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA and tuberculous specific antibody, respectively. The positive rate of acid-fast staining was 0. The positive rate of mNGS combined with conventional method was 80.8%. Conclusions:The detection rate of mNGS in CNS infection is better than that of conventional methods. However, it does not show obvious superiority in the detection rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis associated nervous system infection. In general, mNGS detection of pathogenic bacteria is more extensive, which is conducive to a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the bacterial characteristics of central nervous system infection. The combination of the two methods can make up for the deficiency of clinical routine detection to a certain extent, and can maximize the detection rate.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning and the differences in the severity of poisoning.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2020. The general information, exposure time, poisoning dose, poisoning cause, poisoning route, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results during hospitalization, treatment measures, hospital stays and prognosis of the patients were collected. The patients were graded according to the poisoning severity scoring standard of Chinese Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Poisoning in 2016. The highest severity score during hospitalization was used as the final grade. According to the final grade, asymptomatic and mild patients were included in the mild group, and moderate, severe and death patients were included in the severe group. The independent sample T test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for measurement data, and χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used for counting data. The differences of general data and clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 83 patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning were selected as the study subjects. All patients survived, mainly mild poisoning (56.6%), with a male to female ratio of 33∶50, and an average age of 39 years. The number of poisoning cases increased yearly (the highest in 2019), and most cases occurred in spring and summer. The main cause of poisoning was suicide (71.1%), direct oral administration (83.1%) was the primary route of poisoning, and the dominating clinical manifestations were digestive symptoms (71.1%). Laboratory tests showed increased white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil percentage (NEUT %) and D-dimer, and decreased hemoglobin and potassium. Compared with the mild group, patients in the severe group were older [(51±17) years vs. (35±19) years], had a higher proportion of suicide and direct oral administration, a longer hospital stay [8.0 (4.8, 12.0) d vs. 3.0 (2.0, 5.5) d], a higher dose of poisoning [200.0 (50.0, 200.0) mL vs. 30.0 (11.3, 57.5) mL], and higher NEUT % within 24 h of admission [(83.4±10.4) vs. (73.2±12.8)]. The increase of WBC, NEUT %, aspartate aminotransferase, prothrombin time, D-dimer and the decrease of serum potassium were more common in the severe group than the mild group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of patients with acute glyphosate herbicide poisoning is increasing yearly. Generally, the condition is mild and the prognosis is satisfying. The severity is more serious in the middle-aged and elderly patients andthose with direct oral administration, high toxic dose, and high NEUT % within 24 h of admission. Severe poisoning is more likely to cause changes in laboratory indicators.

OBJECTIVEUsing simultaneous multi-gene mutation screening to investigate the new method molecular epidemiological basis of 225 patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss in Tianjin, and verifying the for simultaneous multi-gene mutation screening.
METHODSTwo hundred and twenty-five patients with severe non-syndromic deafness from Tianjin CDPF and Association of the Deaf were included in the study. The single nucleotide polymorphisms scan, (SNPscan) technique was used for screening the 115 spots mutations in three common deafness-related genes (GJB2, SLC26A4, mtDNA 12S rRNA) of patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss in Tianjin. We verified the results by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTSAmong the 225 patients, there were 111 cases of deafness caused by mutation (49.3%). Using this method, up to 50% of the patients in our study were identified to have hereditary HL caused by mutations in the three genes. 56 patients with the GJB2 mutations were detected (24.9%), including 30 cases of homozygous mutations (13.3%), 26 patients (11.6%) of compound heterozygous mutations, and 21 cases (9.33%) of single heterozygous mutations. 50 patients with the SLC26A4 mutations were detected (22.2%), including 22 cases of homozygous mutations(9.8%), 28 patients (12.4%) of compound heterozygous mutations, and 22 cases (9.8%) of single heterozygous mutations. mtDNA 12S rRNA A1555G mutation was detected in 5 patients (2.2%). mtDNA 12S rRNA 1494C>T mutation was not detected. We verified the results by Sanger sequencing. The accuracy of the sequencing results was 100%. The SNPscan cost eight hours and 160 yuan (each sample).
CONCLUSIONSApplying SNPscan technology can be accurate, rapid and cost-effective diagnostic screening in patients with hearing loss for etiology investigation. It is expected to become an effective means of large-scale genetic testing for hereditary deafness.
