Objective To investigate the effects of inhaling isoflurane and enflurane on the spontaneous neural discharge of the neurones in rat hippocampus. Methods Whole cell patchclamp recording te chnique was used to observe the effects of isoflurane and enflurane on the spont aneous discharge rate of the neurons in the hippocampus on the brain slice of ne w-born SD rats. After decapitation, the whole brain of the rat was removed and put into artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) saturated with 1.36 g?L -1 O 2 and 0.098 g?L -1 CO 2 mixed gas at 4 ℃ . Brain was cut into 300～400 ? m thick slices containing the hippocampus. Whole cell patchc lamp recording technique was used to observe the effects of isoflurane with dif ferent concentrations on the spontaneous discharge rate of neurons in the hippoc ampus on the brain slices. Results Isoflurane and enfluran e could significantly inhibit the spontaneous neural discharge of neurons in the hippocampus in a dose-dependant manner. The effects of spontaneous neural disc harge of hippocampus inhibited by isoflurane (0.12 g?L -1 ～0.36 g?L -1 ) and enflurane (0.2 g?L -1 ～0.6 g?L -1 ) could be recove red following washing off with ACSF for 5 min. Conclusion T he spontaneous discharge rate of neurons in the hippocampus can be reversibly in hibited by isoflurane and enflurane. Hippocampus may be an important action site of anesthetics isoflurane and enflurane in the central nervous system.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of sequential flap of thigh perforator for closure of the anterolateral thigh free flap donor site.Methods From March,2014 to May,2015,8 consecutive patients underwent elective anterolateral thigh free flap reconstruction for limb soft tissue defect.To design a sequential flap of thigh perforator to achieve primary closure of the anterolateral thigh free flap donor site.The area of anterolateral thigh free flap ranged from 9.0 cm×6.0 cm to 20.0 cm×1 1.0 cm,respectively.The area of thigh perforator flap ranged from 7.0 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×7.0 cm.Results All flaps healed uneventfully.Distal skin flap necrosis appeared in 1 flap which was healed after local transposition flap.All the patients were followed up for 1 to 6 months,with mean time of 4 months.The color,texture and appearance of flaps were satisfactory.Conclusion Sequential flap of thigh perforator,with reliable blood supply and constant position,represents an ideal model to close the anterolateral thigh free flap donor site of small defect.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G(IgG) antibodies to 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in 2019-nCoV infection.Methods:This is a retrospective study. Serum samples were collected from 284 patients including outpatients and inpatients in the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 20 to February 17 in 2020. Among them 205 cases were 2019-nCoV infected patients, including 186 cases confirmed with nucleic acid test and 19 cases diagnosed by clinical symptoms and CT characteristics according to "the New Coronavirus Pneumonia Control Protocol (5th edition)" . A total of 79 subjects with other diseases but negative to 2019-nCoV infection were recruited as control group. Serum IgM and IgG antibodies to 2019-nCoV were measured with fully automated immunoassay technology for all subjects. Statistical significance between 2019-nCoV antibodies test and 2019-nCoV nucleic acid test was determined using the χ 2 tests. Results:The sensitivity of serum IgM and IgG antibodies to 2019-nCoV were 70.24%(144/205) and 96.10%(197/205) respectively and the specificity were 96.20%(76/79) and 92.41%(73/79) respectively. The positive and negative predictive values of 2019-nCoV antibodies were 95.63%(197/206) and 91.03% (71/78) respectively, and the positive and negative predictive values of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid test were 100%(186/186) and 80.61%(79/98) respectively. The total coincidence rate of diagnosing 2019-nCoV infection between antibody tests and nucleic acid test for 2019-nCoV were 88.03%(250/284).Conclusion:Joint detection of serum IgM and IgG antibodies to 2019-nCoV is an effective screening and diagnostic indicators for 2019-nCoV infection, and an effective complement to the false negative results to nucleic acid test.

In December, the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan, China, has attracted extensive global attention. On January 20, 2020, the Chinese health authorities upgraded the coronavirus to a Class B infectious disease in the Law of the People′s Republic of China on the Prevention and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, and considered it as Class A infectious diseases in disease control and prevention. On January 18, 2020, the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection test was listed as the diagnostic criteria in the "guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia due to 2019-nCoV (Trial Version 2)" . Therefore, standardizing the operation process of the 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection in clinical laboratories has become a top priority. It is of paramount importance to establish standard protocols for detection of the 2019-nCoV nucleic acids in clinical laboratories to improve the reliability of the results and ensure the biosafety of laboratory personnel.

Bacterial biofilms(BF)are complex microbial communities formed by bacteria on living or abiotic surfaces.Their formation significantly enhances bacterial virulence and drug resistance and is associated with a high proportion of chronic bacterial infections,posing a serious threat to human health.The ability of traditional antibiotics and commonly used disinfectants to clear biofilms is limited,and an effective new strategy to treat BF is urgently needed.Bacteriophage,as a kind of virus that can infect and lyse bacteria,has high safety and specificity,and is considered as a promising alternative method for the treatment of BF.In this paper,the mechanism of bacteriophage anti-bacterial biofilm and the application strategies based on bacteriophage and its derivatives in the prevention and control of bacteriophage biofilm formation were reviewed,which provided new ideas for the development of efficient bacteriophage anti-bacterial biofilm methods.

Objective To establish a Nomogram model for assessing the risk of intestinal colonization by Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)to determine the specific probability of colonization and adopt individualized prevention strategies for the purpose of reducing the occurrence of colonization and secondary infection of neonatal CRKP.Methods A total of 187 neonates hospitalized between January 2021 and October 2022 and diagnosed with CRKP colonization by rectal swab/fecal culture as well drug sensitivity identification 48 h after admission were assigned to the CRKP group.Another 187 neonates without non-CRKP colonization during the same period were set as the non-CRKP group.All the data of the two groups were used for a retrospective analysis.The caret package in R 4.2.1 was used to randomly divide the 374 cases into the model group and validation group at a ratio of 3∶1.Then the glmnet package in R 4.2.1 was used to conduct a LASSO regression analysis over the data from the model group to determine the predictive factors for modeling and the rms software package was used to build a Nomogram model.The pROC and rms packages in R 4.2.1 were used to examine the data,analyzing the consistency indexes(Cindex),receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC),and area under the curves(AUC)and performing the internal and external validation of the efficacy of the Nomogram model via the calibration curves.Results LASSO regression analysis determined eight predictors from the 35 factors probably affecting neonatal CRKP colonization:gender,cesarean section,breastfeeding,nasogastric tube,enema,carbapenems,probiotics,and hospital stay.The Nomogram model constructed using these eight predictors as variables could predict CRKP colonization to a moderate extent,with the area under the ROC curve of 0.835 and 0.800 in the model and validation group,respectively.The Hos-mer-Lemeshow test showed that the predicted probability was highly consistent with the actual probability(the modeling group:P = 0.678>0.05;the validation group:P = 0.208>0.05),presenting a higher degree of fitting.Conclusion The Nomogram model containing such variables as gender,cesarean section,breastfeeding,nasogastric tube,enema,carbapenems,probiotics,and hospital stay is more effective in predicting the risk of neonatal CRKP colonization.Therefore,preventive measures should be individualized based on the colonization probability predicted by the Nomogram model in order to keep neonates from CRKP colonization and reduce the incidence of secondary CRKP infections among them.

Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive occlusive cerebrovascular disease characterized by progressive occlusion of the terminal internal carotid artery with formation of an abnormal vascular network at the skull base. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood and is mainly thought to be associated with genetic factors, environmental factors and immune inflammatory response. The discovery of relevant biomarkers may provide hope for elucidation of pathogenesis of moyamoya disease and the early diagnosis and treatment of it. From the perspectives of coding gene, non-coding RNA and protein related to moyamoya disease, the possible molecular mechanisms involved in the occurrence and development of moyamoya disease are elaborated to further clarify their value as biomarkers of moyamoya disease.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) with modified cross-leg vessel bridging in reconstruction of infected wounds in the lower leg combined with major vessel defects.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted on 7 patients who admitted to the Department of Trauma Orthopaedics, the 521 Hospital of Norinco Group from January 2020 to December 2021 for treatment of large infected wounds in lower leg with soft tissue defect by reconstructive surgery of flap transfer. The patients were 5 males and 2 females, aged 23-50 years old with an average age of 37 years old. The causes of injury were: 5 patients were of car accidents, 1 of machinery compression and 1 of heavy object crush. The wounds were reconstructed after debridement and infection control with sensitive antibiotics, where the soft tissue defects were found at 11.0 cm×15.0 cm to 20.0 cm×32.0 cm in size. All patients underwent vascular angiography or CDU examinations and it was confirmed that the affected calf had only an anterior tibial artery as the vessel left for blood supply in 6 patients and a posterior tibial artery as the blood supply vessel in one patient. Therefore application of vascular end-to-side anastomosis in free flap reconstruction of limb defects was impossible due to the damaged artery could not be salvaged as a blood supply artery for the transferred flap. Therefore, a modified cross-leg vessel bridging to the freed ALTPF in the affected lower leg was applied. The donor site of the pedicle was covered with VSD while the pedicle of the flap was anastomosed. It was remained until the posterior tibial artery and the tubular flap were ready for replantation after disconnection of the pedicle. The sizes of flap were 13.0 cm×17.0 cm to 22.0 cm×32.0 cm (unilateral ALTPFs for 6 patients and bilateral ALTPFs for 1 patient). Two donor sites in low tension were direct closed, and the rest of 5 donor sites that had great tensions and could not be directly sutured were reconstructed by skin grafting. The survival and complications of flaps were observed in the scheduled postoperative follow-ups at outpatient visits, WeChat reviews and home visits, etc.Results:All 7 patients were successfully treated and had 12-24 months postoperative follow-up, with an average of 16 months. All flaps survived, with primary healing in 6 patients and 1 patient had partial flap necrosis with surface infection, which healed after dressing changes. The wound healing time was 14-36 days with an average of 17.9 days. The time for disconnection of the cross-leg vessel bridging pedicle was 3-4 weeks with the flap transfer, with an average of 3.6 weeks. The donor sites of ALTPFs and vessel pedicles all healed well. CDU confirmed the patency of the contralateral posterior tibial artery. Satisfactory functional recovery was achieved in the affected lower limb and there was a good function of the contralateral healthy lower leg.Conclusion:Application of the transfer of a free ALTPF with modified cross-leg vessel bridging in reconstruction of infected wounds with major vessel defects in the lower leg has shown excellent clinical outcomes. It is a practical and effective method in treatment of large infective defect in lower leg.
