Objective To investigate the difference of clinical characteristics and treatment outcome between pituitary apoplexy with and without inducing factors. Methods The clinical characteristics and treatment outcome between 12 pituitary apoplexy with inducing factors and 30 pituitary apoplexy without ones. Results Compared with the patients of pituitary apoplexy without inducing factors, the patients of pituitary apoplexy with inducing factors more frequently occurred visual dysfunction(P=0.020) and visual field defection(P=0.046), and the diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy was also delayed in the latter (P=0.015). Conclusion Inducing factors of pituitary apoplexy often aggravated the apoplexy, delayed its diagnosis and treatment due to atypical clinical symptoms, and caused worse restoration of visual function. Headache patients with abrupt visual deterioration should be considered suffering from pituitary apoplexy.

Objective To explore the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy of tumors at the foramen magnum,the clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively.Methods The clinical data of 58 cases with foramen magnum tumors treated with microsurgery in our department were collected and analyzed retrospectively.And intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring was employed in later 21 cases.Results Gross total resection was achieved in 48 of the 58 cases ; Five of the 10 patients with VA encased by tumors were totally resected.Full resection was achieved in 43 of the last 48 cases.Forty-three of the 47 cases with intradural tumors got complete resection,and total resection was achieved in 3 and 2,respectively,in 9 intra-extradural communicated tumors and 2 extradural ones.Symptoms were significantly improved in 50 cases,worsened in 5 patients,and maintained stable in the last 3 patients.Post-operative symptoms were obviously improved in the later 21 cases with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring employed and the therapeutic effect of the treatment was much better than the former cases.Three patients died postoperatively.Fifty cases got complete follow-up from 6 months to 3 years.Among them,forty-four patients had a KPS score of 80-100,but the other 6 patients less than 80.Conclusion Microsurgical treatment for foramen magnum tumors is effective.Optimal surgical approaches and precise micro-operative techniques are crucial for the tumor removing.It is quite difficult and risky to fully resect the intra-extradural communicated tumors and the ones encasing vertebral artery.Preoperative evaluation should be profound.The application of intra-operative electrophysiological monitoring and the timely management of post-operative complications can improve the prognosis obviously.

Objective: To determine the relationship between dengue virus load and clinical characteristics, so as to provide basis for dengue fever prevention and treatment. Methods : The dengue viral load and typing of 120 patients in Gongshu District of Hangzhou from June to November 2017 were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR;the clinical indicators of these dengue patients were collected and their correlation with the viral load was analyzed. Results: The DNA detection of dengue virus in 120 patients showed that they were all typeⅡ. The median dengue virus load was 3.91×104 copies/mL. All the patients had fever, the average peak temperature was（38.96 ± 0.69）℃. There were 102（85.00%）cases with asthenia;116（96.67%）cases with white blood cell count（WBC）less than 4× 109/L;119（99.17%）cases with platelet count（PLT）less than 100×109/L;114（95.00%）cases with glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase（GOT）more than 40 U/L;81（67.50%）cases with glutamic pyruvate transaminase（GPT）more than 52 U/L;58（48.33%）cases with creatine kinase（CK）more than 210 U/L. There was no significant correlation of dengue virus load with length of hospitalization, peak temperature,duration of fever, WBC,PLT, GOT, GPT and CK（P>0.05）. There were 75（62.50%）severe patients, and their median viral load was 9.29×104copies/mL, which was higher than 5.33×103copies/mL in non-severe patients（P<0.05）. Conclusion The dengue virus load is not related with length of hospitalization,peak temperature,WBC,PLT,GOT,GPT and CK,but with the severity of the disease.

Objective:To analyze the antimicrobial resistance and genomic characteristics of Salmonella enterica serovar Derby strains isolated from human and food sources in Hangzhou. Methods:A total of 60 Salmonella enterica serovar Derby strains isolated in Hangzhou during the period from 2015 to 2020 were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing and whole-genome sequencing. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST), core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) and the identification of antimicrobial resistance genes were performed using the sequencing data. Phylogenetic tree based on the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in the 60 genomes from Hangzhou and 379 genomes from public databases was constructed. Results:No significant difference was observed in the drug resistance rates between the clinical strains and food strains in Hangzhou. The multidrug resistance (MDR) rate was 76.7% (46/60). All of the 60 Salmonella Derby strains were positive for the antimicrobial resistance genes aac(6′)- Iaa and fosA7. The 60 strains were subtyped into 46 molecular types by PFGE and 53 molecular types by cgMLST(HC2). Except for one strain belonging to ST3220, the other Salmonella Derby strains were ST40. The phylogenetic analysis showed that some strains isolated in Hangzhou were close to the strains in Southeast Asia, suggesting the possibility of cross-border transmission of ST40 strains, with the main food sources being pork and fish; other strains were close to those circulating in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hubei, Chongqing and other provinces, suggesting the possibility of cross-province transmission of the strains, with the main food sources being pork, beef and chicken. Conclusions:The epidemic of Salmonella Derby in Hangzhou was mainly caused by the spread of ST40 strains and MDR was common. Clinical infections might be closely related to the consumption of pork, beef, chicken and fish. There was the possibility of cross-border transmission of Salmonella Derby between Hangzhou and Southeast Asia and cross-province transmission in China.
