Objective To investigate the risk factors of worsening renal function (WRF) in patients with chronic heart failure ( CHF) and WRF influence on prognosis. Methods A case-control study were undertaken to analyze independent risk factor statistically related to incidence of WRF, and to assess the influence of WRF on prognosis. Results The independent predictors of WRF were creatinine level at admission (OR 2.248,95% CI 1.088-4.647, P = 0.029) and NYHA class on admission ( OR 2.485, 95% CI 1.3854. 459, P = 0.002). The mortality of patient with WRF was obviously higher than that of control group during hospitalization( OR 3. 824,95% CI 2. 452-5. 637 ,P <0.015). Conclusions WRF is a common complication among patients hospitalized for CHF, and is obviously associated with mortality during hospitalization. Higher creatinine level and weak heart function are independent risk factors for incidence of WRF of patients with CHF.

Objective To synthesize 4 kinds of 111 In?TPP cations and evaluate their properties as tumor cationic radiotracers in vivo and in vitro. Methods DO3A?xy?TPP, DO3A?xy?mTPP, DO3A?xy?dmTPP and DO3A?xy?tmTPP were radiolabeled with 111 In;their lipid?water partition coefficients and in vivo and in vitro stability were evaluated. The binding affinities of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were determined in cell uptake and cell efflux assay using U87MG tumor cells. Biodistribution studies and γ imaging studies were performed using the athymic nude mice bearing U87MG human glioma xenografts to explore the biologi?cal properties of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers. One?way analysis of variance was used. Results The labeling yields of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were all above 85%, and the radiochemical purity were all greater than 99% after purification. Binding assay in U87MG cells showed that 4 kinds of radiotracers had great binding affinity and cell retention ability, and 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best binding ratio (1?49%;F=177.8, P<0.05) . Gamma imaging and biodistribution results showed that the U87MG tumors could be clearly visualized by 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP, and the liver uptake of the 3 tracers was lower than that of 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP. In particular, 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best tumor/liver ratio (0.13±0.05, 2 h postinjection;F=9.4, P<0?05). Conclusions The tumor?targeted ability of 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP is better than those of 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP, suggesting that it has the potential to be a promising tumor cationic radiotracer.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and repeatability of thoracolumbar AOSpine injury score (TLAOSIS)and thoracolumbar injury severity score (TLICS) classification scoring system in guiding thoracolumbar fracture surgery, and to explore the main reasons for the consistency of classification scoring systems.Methods:Fifty-five thoracolumbar fracture patients with complete clinical data and radiologic data admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2018 to December 2018 were enrolled. Based on their preoperative X-ray films, CT and MRI, six physicians were assigned to independently determine the classification using the TLAOSIS and TLICS.For the same patient, the classification was identified as inconsistency among 6 observers if there was an observer in a different type.After a 4-week interval, the 55 patients were presented in a random sequence to the same evaluators for repeated evaluation.All data did not contain any marks related to the type. The Cohen's Kappa coefficient was used to determine the interobserver reliability and intraobserver repeatability concerning fracture morphology, posterior ligament classification (PLC) injury classification and neurological function score. Kappa coefficients were used to observe the consistency of pre- and post-measure measurements within each observer.Results:The two classification scoring systems had good consistency and reproducibility in guiding surgery. For TLAOSIS classification scoring system, the interobserver and intraobserver Kappa values for fracture morphology were 0.806 and 0.667; neurological status were 0.937 and 0.891; PLC injury classification were 0.873 and 0.779; the final recommendation surgery were 0.816 and 0.764. For TLICS classification scoring system, the interobserver and intraobserver Kappa values for fracture morphology were 0.878 and 0.788; neurological status were 0.936 and 0.888; PLC injury classification were 0.809 and 0.691; the final recommendation surgery were 0.811 and 0.705. The two classification scoring systems were statistically significant in fracture morphology and PLC injury classification both in the reliability and repeatability analysis ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the neurological function score ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TLAOSIS and TLICS have good consistency and reproducibility in guiding surgery. The fracture morphology and PLC injury classification are the factors influencing the consistency of surgical guidance for the two classification scoring systems.

Objective:To compare the differences between thoracolumbar AO spine injury score (TL AOSIS) and thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score system (TLICS) in guiding thoracolumbar fracture surgery.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 55 patients with complete preoperative imaging data who had been treated for thoracolumbar injuries at Department of Spinal Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2015 to December 2016. They were 34 men and 21 women, aged from 21 to 55 years (average, 37.5 years). Of them, 31 were identified as having normal neurological function and 24 as having impaired neurological function. TL AOSIS and TLICS were used to evaluate respectively all the patients, those with normal neurological function and those with impaired neurological function, and consequently made suggestions whether surgery should be performed or not.Results:Among the 55 patients, by the guidance of TL AOSIS and TLICS respectively, conservative treatment was suggested for 19 and 25 cases, either conservative treatment or surgery for 12 and 13 cases, and surgery for 24 and 17 cases. There was fine consistency between the 2 scoring systems in surgery suggestion for thoracolumbar fracture ( P=0.358). Among the 31 patients with normal neurological function, by the guidance of TL AOSIS and TLICS respectively, conservative treatment was suggested for 19 and 25 cases, either conservative treatment or surgery for 6 and 0 cases, and surgery for 6 and 6 cases. TLICS suggested surgery for significantly more patients than TL AOSIS did ( P=0.033). Among the 24 patients with impaired neurological function, by the guidance of TL AOSIS and TLICS respectively, either conservative treatment or surgery was suggested for 6 and 13 cases, and surgery for 18 and 11 cases. TL AOSIS suggested surgery for significantly more patients than TLICS did ( P=0.039). Conclusion:There is fine consistency between TL AOSIS and TLICS in surgery suggestion for thoracolumbar fracture, but TL AOSIS may lead to more surgery suggestions for the patients with complete burst fracture or impaired neurological function than TLICS.

Objective:
To learn the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)in Huzhou,so as to provide reference for prevention and control of COVID-19.
Methods:
All the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Huzhou,diagnosed according to the COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Plan(Sixth Version Trial)and reported from January 25 to February 7,2020,were recruited. The process of diagnosis and treatment,clinical manifestation,exposure history and close contacts were collected to analyze the epidemiological characteristics.
Results:
On January 25,the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Huzhou was reported. By February 7,totally 10 confirmed cases were reported and no asymptomatic infection was found. They were all imported,including three Wuhan residents,two with a trip to Wuhan,three with a trip to Suizhou,one with a trip to Hangzhou and one with a trip to Thailand(two Wuhan passengers on the same flight). The ratio of male to female cases was 1∶1. The median age was 32 years old. Seven cases were found when they went to a doctor by themselves,and three cases were found during the quarantine. The main clinical manifestations were fever,dry cough and fatigue. The median time from onset to diagnosis was 3 days. By March 3,all the cases were discharged,with median course of 24 days. There were 312 close contacts,and all of them were released after 14 days of quarantine.
Conclusions
To prevent imported cases from outside and stop spread inside taken by Huzhou government was proved to be effective. All the COVID-19 cases in Huzhou were imported,mostly from Wuhan. No local cases were reported.
