In this study, the recombinant plasmid pPFl4 labeled with photobiotin was used as a probe to detect the patients infected with Plasmodium falciparum ( P. f.) by dothybridiza-tion. The results showed that out of 35 cases with P. f., 29 were positive, 5 were negative and one was doubtful. One patient with P.f. and P. vivax mixed infection showed positive result. The total positive rate was 83. 3% (30/36). 3 out of 33 normal human blood samples were positive, so the false positive rate was 9%. In addition, there was a correlation between the positive rate of detection and parasitaemia level. The detection sensitivity was 5 ?10-5.

BACKGROUND: The degradation speed of biological materials is critical for the clinical use of guided bone regeneration.The partial biological characteristics and treatment efficacy of concentrate growth factor (CGF) fibrin have been explored preliminarily, but its degradation properties have not yet been reported.OBJECTIVE: To explore the degradation properties of CGF fibrin and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in artificial saliva and compare the degradation speed of these two biological products.METHODS: Ten volunteers were selected, and 18 mL of venous blood from each volunteer was extracted and stored in two vacuum blood collectors. The blood samples were then placed into the drum of the Medifuge centrifugal acceleration machine, to separate CGF fibrin and PRF specimens following the preparation process, respectively. Both CGF fibrin and PRF specimens were respectively made into bulk and membranoid, and were then immersed in artificial saliva under 37 ℃. The mass of the bulk specimens and area of the membranoid specimens were measured regularly, and the degradation processes of CGF and PRF were recorded. The degradation curves were drawn to compare the degradation speed of CGF fibrin and PRF.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mass of CGF fibrin and PRF showed no significant difference at the 5th day (P >0.05), while the mass of CGF fibrin was higher than that of PRF at the 3rd, 4th and 6th days (P < 0.05). The residual area of CRF was significantly larger than that of PRF at posttreatment 1-6 days (P < 0.05). To conclude, the degradation speed of bulk or membranoid CRF is slow than that of PRF in artificial saliva. The higher the fibrin content is, the slower the degradation ability is, indicating the strong bioreproductive function.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for cognitive impairment and their correlation with collateral circulation in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods From January 2016 to December 2017,patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology,Jiangmen People's Hospital were enrolled.According to their status of collateral circulation,they were divided into either good collateral circulation group or poor collateral circulation group.According to the Montreal cognitive score,they were divided into cognitive impairment group and non-cognitive impairment group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Results A total of 225 patients were enrolled,including 106 females (47.1％) and 119 males (52.9％),aged 47-87 years,average 66.96 ± 9.65 years.The average baseline score of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 4.5 ± 2.1.Ninety-seven patients (43.1％) had cognitive impairment;79 had obvious stenosis or occlusion at the intracranial and extracranial segments of cerebral arteries;148 (65.8％) had good collateral circulation,and 77 (34.2％) had poor collateral circulation.The proportions of patients with atherosclerotic stroke (P =0.033) and cognitive impairment (P =0.041) in the good collateral circulation group were significantly higher than those in the poor collateral circulation group.There were significant differences in the proportions of patients with large-artery atherosclerotic stroke (P =0.007),anterior circulation stroke (P=0.018),collateral dysfunction (P=0.041),as well as baseline systolic blood pressure (P =0.006),baseline diastolic blood pressure (P =0.013),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P=0.021),and homocysteine (P=0.024) between the cognitive impairment group and the non-cognitive impairment group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline systolic blood pressure (odds ratio[OR] 1.007,95％ confidence interval[CI] 1.001-1.012;P =0.036),and large-artery atherosclerotic stroke (OR 2.650,95％ CI 1.490-4.714;P =0.001) were independently positively correlated with cognitive impairment,while the status of collateral circulation was not an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment (P =0.073).Conclusions The status of collateral circulation was associated with cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke,but it was not an independent risk factor.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Questionnaire of Executive Functioning (QEF) among elementary school students aged 7-12 years. Methods: A total of 841 elementary school students from four primary schools in the Pearl River Delta (Guangzhou), eastern Guangdong area (Jieyang), northern Guangdong area (Shaoguan), and western Guangdong area (Maoming) were selected for item analysis by using a stratified whole group sampling method in September 2022. A total of 377 elementary school students from the four elementary schools were selected for testing the structural validity and reliability, and 87 subjects from an elementary school in Guangzhou were selected at 15-day intervals for assessing test retest reliability test. Results: The questionnaire had good discrimination, and the correlation between the items and the total score ranged from 0.22 to 0.46 ( P <0.01). Exploratory factor analysis showed a cumulative variance contribution rate of 56.68%, with item loadings ranging from 0.41 to 0.74. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit ( χ 2/ df =3.048, CFI=0.988, TLI= 0.980 , RMSEA=0.058, SRMR =0.009). The overall Cronbach s α , split half reliability and test retest reliability of the questionnaire were 0.72 , 0.76, 0.79, respectively. Conclusion The Chinese version of the Questionnaire of Executive Functioning has good reliability and validity, and it is suitable for application to the self assessment of executive function among elementary school students.

Objective:To explore the effect of autologous fat transplantation based on the fine anatomy of the female perineum and aesthetic standards.Methods:From June 2015 to September 2020, 25 female patients with perineal cosmetology requirements in the Department of Plastic Surgery, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, aged from 28 to 55 years, with an average of 33.7 years. 50-80 ml of the patient＇s autologous fat were collected and filled according to the perineal anatomy and aesthetic standards. Postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment was implemented and sexual life was forbidden for 2 weeks.Results:25 patients were satisfied with the filling effect immediately after operation. Follow-up for 7 days, 1, 3, and 6 months after operation, 20 of 21 cases underwent pudendal filling operation were very satisfied with the postoperative morphology, and 1 case was less satisfied. Among the 20 cases underwent vaginal filling and labia major filling, 17 cases were very satisfied with the postoperative morphology, 2 cases were satisfied after the operation, and 1 case was less satisfied. Of the 10 cases underwent vaginal and G-spot injection, 6 cases were satisfied after the operation. The morphology was very satisfactory, 2 cases were more satisfactory, and 2 cases were less satisfactory. According to a survey of 25 cases of postoperative sexual life satisfaction, 19 cases (76%) had a significant improvement in their conscious sexual life, 3 cases had a more obvious improvement, 1 case had less improvement, and 2 cases had no conscious improvement.Conclusions:The autologous fat injection based on the fine anatomy and aesthetics of the perineum can significantly improve the aesthetic appearance of the perineum.

Objective:To evaluate the surgical effect of repairing soft tissue defect of hand and foot with medial gastrocnemius fascia flap combined with skin graft.Methods:From January, 2018 to June, 2019, 10 patients were treated with transfers of free medial gastrocnemius fascia flaps combined with skin graft to repair soft tissue defect of hand and foot. The size of free fascial flap was 5.0 cm×8.0 cm-12.0 cm×15.0 cm. After successful transfer on the wound, the skin was grafted onto the fascial flap, and the donor site was sutured directly. The appearance and function of the recipient and donor sites were observed and the effect of the operation was evaluated. Sensory recovery was assessed by the standard set by British Medical Research Council (BMRC) at the last follow-up.Results:All the free medial gastrocnemius fascia flap survived. After 6-10 days of granulation tissue growing, the skin grafts were transferred and all survived. All patients entered follow-up for 3-9 months, with an average of 7.5 months. The tissue at the recipient sites were soft and wear-resistant without swelling or ulceration. According to the self-designed evaluation system of soft tissue defect reconstruction, 10 patients had score from 68 to 92 (average, 75.2) . At the last follow-up, sensory recovery was assessed by BMRC, 7 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good.Conclusion:The repair of hand and foot soft tissue defect by the free medial gastrocnemius fascia flap combined with skin graft has advantages in constancy of vascular anatomy of free fascia tissue, long vascular pedicle and for repair of various types of hand and foot defects. Skin of the recipient area is soft with good appearance without swelling after the reconstruction of fascia flap. It is a method of treatment in repair of soft tissue defect of hand and foot by avoiding the thinning of a flap in the second procedure.
