Objective To explore the expression and its clinical significance of serum procalcitonin (PCT)level in ventilator-associated pneumonia( VAP)in newborns. Methods One hundred and fifty-five children with suspected VAP in Shajing Hospital of Shenzhen Affiliated to Medical University of Guangzhou from June 2013 to December 2014 who were in intensive care kiunit(NICU)were selected as our subjects. According to whether they had VAP or not could be divided into VAP group(80 cases)and non-VAP group(75 cases). Immunoluminometric method was used to detect PCT level at 1st day. According to the different medicine,VAP group was divided into 40 cases of two groups. The control group was according to the situation of children which was used empirical antibiotic by clinicians. The observation group was given antibiotics according to the level of PCT(the antibiotics were used when PCT > 0. 25 μg/ L). After treatment,if PCT did not decrease,the antibiotics was replaced. If PCT decreased,the antibiotics was continued to use the same kind of antibiotics. While the PCT< 0. 25 μg/ L,the antibiotics were stopped using. The change of the PCT level at 1st,4th,7th,10th day of two groups were observed. Results Serum PCT level of VAP group was(1. 68 ± 0. 83)μg/ L,significantly higher than that of non-VAP((0. 10 ± 0. 02)μg/ L),and there was statistically significant difference( t = 52. 614,P< 0. 05). Clinical effective rate of observation group was 87. 5%(35 / 40),which was higher than that of the control group(80. 0%(32 / 40),P = 2. 067). At 4th,7th and 10th day after treatment,PCT expressions of the observation group were all significantly lower than those of the control group. The medical costs and antibiotic using time were significantly lower than those of the control group((3 525. 8 ± 1 162. 9)yuan vs.(4 706. 7 ± 803. 4),(10. 3 ± 2. 7)d vs.(13. 5 ± 1. 4)d;t = 5. 28,6. 65;P < 0. 05). Conclusion The serum PCT levels of newborns of VAP significantly increase,and monitoring the PCT can guide reasonably the use of antibiotics in clinic.

Objective:To analyze the trends of coronary heart disease mortality in Tengzhou city of Shandong province from 2013 to 2021.Methods:The data of coronary heart disease (ICD-10: I20-I25) from January 2013 to December 2021 were obtained from the Chronic Disease Surveillance Information System-Coronary Heart Disease Management Module of Shandong province; the population data were provided by Tengzhou Public Security Bureau. The 95% confidence interval ( CI) of the rate was calculated using the binomial exact method. The age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) was calculated based on 2020 National Population Census. The trends of mortality rate were analyzed using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. Results:During 2013 to 2021, there were 20 667 coronary heart disease deaths in Tengzhou city, with an average of 2 296 cases per year. The male-to-female ratio was 1.09∶1, and 80.98% (16 736/20 667) of the death cases were aged 65 years or older. The crude mortality rate and ASMR of coronary heart disease were 131.84/10 5 and 168.22/10 5 in 2013, respectively. The crude mortality rate increased by 13.67% from 2013 to 2021 ( P<0.001) with an average annual increase of 1.59%; while the ASMR decreased by 18.65% from 2013 to 2021 ( P<0.05) with an average annual decease of 2.34%. The crude mortality rate of coronary heart disease in men and women showed an upward trend, with the difference in the increase for women being statistically significant ( P<0.01); while the ASMR both in men and women showed a downward trend ( P<0.001). The crude death rates from 2013 to 2021 in age groups of 65 or older for men and women decreased by 22.40% and 19.73%, respectively (both P<0.001); while the crude death rate for age groups of 44 or younger in men showed an upward trend ( P<0.05). The crude death rate among urban residents decreased by 5.22% from 2013 to 2021 with an annual decrease of 0.67% ( P>0.05); while the crude death rate among rural residents increased by 19.29% with an annual increase of 2.18% ( P<0.001). The overall crude death rate among urban residents was higher than that among rural residents (all P<0.05). Conclusions:From 2013 to 2021, the crude mortality rate of coronary heart disease in Tengzhou city of Shandong province shows an increasing trend while the age-standardized mortality rate shows a decreasing trend. The crude mortality rate of coronary heart disease in people aged 65 and above shows a decreasing trend. In addition, the change trends are different between women and men, and between urban and rural areas.

OBJECTIVETo explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with congenital hypofibrinogenamia.
METHODSPeripheral blood samples were collected from 9 members from the pedigree. Routine coagulation tests including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), the prothrombin time (PT) were carried out. The activity of fibrinogen (Fg: C) was measured using Clauss method, and fibrinogen antigen (Fg: Ag) was measured with immunoturbidimetry. All exons and exon-intron boundaries of the fibrinogen Aα, Bβ and γ chain genes were amplified using PCR, which was followed by direct sequencing. Suspected mutation was confirmed by reverse sequencing. The mutant fibrinogen was analyzed with Swiss-PdbViewer.
RESULTSThe proband showed prolonged APTT, PT and TT. Her functional fibrinogen (Fg: C) and antigen fibrinogen (Fg: Ag) levels were reduced to 0.69 g/L and 0.72 g/L, respectively. Her mother and grandmother also had a low levels of fibrinogen, which were 0.99 g/L and 0.83 g/L for Fg: C, 1.02 g/L and 0.87 g/L for Fg: Ag, respectively. The results of other members from the pedigree were all within the normal range. Genetic analysis reveled a heterozygous G>T mutation at nucleotide 7590 in exon 8 of γ gene in the proband, which was predicted to be a novel Ser313Ile mutation. The mutation was also found in her mother and grandmother. Model analysis showed that the Ser313Ile mutation disturbed the hydrogen bonds between Ser313, Asn319 and Asp320. Moreover, the mutation also altered the mutual electrostatic force and affected the folding and instability of the mutant fibrinogen.
CONCLUSIONThe heterozygous Ser313Ile mutation probably underlies the hypofibrinogenemia in this pedigree.
