Objective To observe the bacteriostatic effect of chitosan lactate with different relative molecular masses in vitro. Methods The MICs of the chitosans lactate with different relative molecular masses against the usual pathogens were detected,and the MBCS against two standard strains were also determined. Levofloxacin hydrochloride was used as a control drug. Results The MIC90 of chitosan lactate with 10,30,50kDa against 50 strains of gram-positive cocci and 50 strains of gram-negative bacilli were 0.5,1~4,0.5~4mg?mL-1 and 1~4,0.5~1 ,0.5~4mg?mL-1,respectively. The MIC90 of levofloxacin hydrochloride against the 50 strains of gram-positive cocci and 50 strains of gram-negative bacilli were 4~8 and 8~16?g?mL-1,respectively. ATCC 25923 strain of S.aureus and ATCC 25922 strain of E.coli could be killed by 10kDa chitosan lactate in the concentration of 4mg?mL-1. The MBCS of levofloxacin hydrochloride against ATCC25923 strain of S.aureus and ATCC 25922 strain of E.coli were 2 and 4?g?mL-1,respectively. Conclusion The 4 species of the experimental bacteria could be inhibited by the chitosan lactate with 10,30 and 50kDa Mr in vitro,but the inhibitory effect of the chitosan lactate with 10kDa Mr was stronger among them. ATCC 25923 strain of S.aureus and ATCC25923 strain of E.coli could be killed only by 10kDa chitosan lactate in vitro,not by others.

We report a case of type A insulin resistance syndrome. A 16-year-old girl with BMI of 19.1 kg/m 2 presented with primary amenorrhea and hyperglycemia for two years. Baseline HbA 1C was 10.8%, along with severe hyperinsulinemia, increased total testosterone and free androgen index(FAI). Ultrasonography showed polycystic ovaries. Next generation sequencing identified a novel and de novo heterozygous missense mutation of Trp1220Gly in the insulin receptor gene. Short-term intensive insulin pump treatment was initiated, followed by insulin glargine, pioglitazone and acarbose combination regiment. Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels decreased significantly, but post-load hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia remained unsatisfactory. HbA 1C dropped to 7.6% at 1-year follow up. Patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome who are adolescent-onset and with lean body type should be taken into account of type A insulin resistance syndrome. Currently, there is no standardized treatment protocol, and therapy should be individualized based on the specific gene mutation of each patient.

Objective:To investigate the application value of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in the prognosis assessment of nerve function in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) after intracranial mechanical thrombectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. The clinical data of 43 patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction who received intra-arterial mechanical thrombotomy for recanalization admitted to Taizhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of patients were followed up by telephone at 3 months after surgery to evaluate the prognosis of neurologic outcome. Patients with mRS score 0-2 were enrolled in the good prognosis group, while those with a score of 3-6 were enrolled in the poor prognosis group. The gender, age, past history, underlying diseases, occluded arteries, atherosclerotic stenosis and bridging treatment, time from onset to reperfusion, blood flow dynamics under TCD at 1 day after thrombectomy, and National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores before and 1, 7, and 14 days after thrombectomy were compared between the two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the prognostic factors of nerve function at 3 months after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with ACI. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the prognostic value for neurological function assessed by TCD.Results:Forty-three patients were enrolled in the final analysis, with 23 patients in the good prognosis group and 20 in the poor prognosis group. The recanalization was successfully achieved in both groups without complications. However, the hemodynamics of intracranial arteries evaluated by TCD 1 day after operation in both groups still showed partial or complete occlusion, and the hemodynamics of patients in the poor prognosis group was worse than that in the good prognosis group (poor blood flow: 40.0% vs. 0%, inadequate blood flow: 30.0% vs. 17.4%, good blood flow: 30.0% vs. 82.6%), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Before thrombotomy, there was no significant difference in NIHSS score between the two groups. After thrombotomy, the NIHSS score of the two groups gradually decreased with the extension of time, but the NIHSS score at 14 days after operation of the poor prognosis group was still significantly higher than that of the good prognosis group (10.55±2.93 vs. 4.65±1.70, P < 0.01). Univariate analysis showed that compared with the good prognosis group, the proportion of patients with diabetes and arteriosclerosis stenosis in the poor prognosis group were significantly increased (30.0% vs. 4.3%, 45.0% vs. 17.4%, both P < 0.05), and the time from onset to reperfusion was prolonged (minutes: 385.9±96.2 vs. 294.5±95.1, P < 0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the therosclerosis stenosis [odds ratio ( OR) = 9.334, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.092-79.775, P = 0.041] and the reperfusion time ( OR = 1.016, 95% CI was 1.006-1.027, P = 0.002) were associated with prognosis of nerve function at 3 months after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with ACI. ROC curve analysis suggested that the evaluation of intracranial hemodynamics by TCD might be able to predict the prognosis of neurological function in patients with ACI after 3 months of intracranial mechanical thrombectomy, the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.768 (95% CI was 0.620-0.917), the sensitivity was 65.0%, the specificity was 87.0%, the positive predictive value was 82.6%, and the negative predictive value was 70.0%. Conclusion:The evaluation of intracranial hemodynamics assessed by TCD is helpful in early judging the prognosis of neurological function in patients with ACI after intracranial mechanical thrombectomy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Fibroscan? data controlled attenuation parameter(CAP), liver stiffness measurement(LSM), and the risk of metabolic syndrome(MS). Methods A total of 817 subjects in this year's staffs physical checkup screening for fatty liver were recruited. Questionnaires were filled, anthropometries including neck and waist circumferences were collected, and fasting glucose, lipid profiles, insulin, adiponectin levels were measured, CAP and LSM were recorded using FibroScan? . The subjects were divided into MS and control groups. Clinical characteristic parameters were compared, and independent predictors for MS were analyzed. Results There were 231 subjects(28.3%) in the MS group and 586(71.7%) in the control group. As compared to the controls, MS group had significantly higher CAP, LSM, neck circumference, and fasting insulin levels[(277±48vs237±44)dB/m,(4.9±2.2vs4.1±1.0)kPa,(37.1±3.3vs34.1±3.0)cm,(9.3±4.7vs5.7± 2.9)μIU/ml, all P<0.01], whereas adiponectin levels were lower [(10.6 ± 8.8 vs 18.7 ± 14.9) ng/ml, P<0.01] . With the accumulation of MS components, CAP and LSM increased. When CAP and LSM were divided into quartiles, the number of MS components increased with increasing quartiles, along with proportions and odds ratios for the occurrence of MS, and CAP showed a stronger correlation with MS than LSM. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that CAP, age, neck circumference, adiponectin, and fasting insulin levels were independent predictors for MS. Even with no MS component, subjects with CAP≥248 dB/m had elevated body mass index, neck and waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, increased fasting insulin, triglyceride, uric acid and reduced adiponectin levels. Conclusion CAP showed a close relationship with MS. Increased CAP was associated with increased body weight, dyslipidemia, elevated uric acid, and fasting insulin, whereas reduced adiponectin even before the occurrence of MS.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in predicting pathological responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer.Methods:According to the postoperative pathological responses, 56 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical excision in the Fujian Cancer Hospital from August 2019 to September 2020 were divided into responders and non-responders. The relative change rates of tumor maximum diameter(ΔD2, ΔD4) and SWE stiffness (ΔEmax2, ΔEmax4, ΔEmean2, ΔEmean4) were assessed before NAC and after different NAC cycles (t2, t4). Clinical information, including age, T, N stages, ER, PR, HER2, Ki67, and molecular subtype were also considered as the variables. The independent influencing factors of pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were obtained by logistic regression analysis and diagnostic test was carried out.Results:There were 23 cases as responders (41.0%, 23/56), and 33 cases as non-responders (58.9%, 33/56). Results of multivariate analysis showed ΔEmax4 and HER2 index were independent influencing factors of pathological responses ( OR=1.11, P<0.001; OR=31.81, P=0.002). Area under curve of the ΔEmax4 (AUC: 0.869, 95% CI: 0.746-0.941) was higher than that of HER2 (AUC: 0.690, 95% CI: 0.545-0.834). The combination of ΔEmax4 and HER2 gave the best prediction of pathological responses (AUC 0.930, 95% CI: 0.829-0.981). the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, postive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 78.26%, 96.97%, 75.23%, 94.73%, and 86.49%, respectively. Conclusions:ΔEmax4 and HER2 are independent predictors of pathological responses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Combined ΔEmax4 and HER2 can improve the predictive diagnostic efficacy of pathological responses to chemotherapy for breast cancer.

【Objective】 To analyze the cost and effectiveness of different HIV screening strategies based on multi-center HIV residual risk study, so as to provide reference for blood centers to adopt appropriate HIV testing strategies. 【Methods】 According to the HIV screening and confirmation of blood donors in three blood centers in Anhui Province, the residual risk of different HIV screening strategies was estimated. A decision tree model was established to analyze the cost-effectiveness differences of three different screening strategies under current domestic policies. 【Results】 The residual risk of anti-HIV-1 +2 ELISA, HIV Ag/Ab1+2 ELISA and ELISA+NAT were 1.17×10-6,0.84×10-6 and 0.59×10-6, respectively. According to decision tree model analysis, HIV Ag/Ab1+2 ELISA had a cost-effectiveness advantage over anti-HIV 1+2 ELISA when there was no NAT, but the advantage of HIV Ag/Ab1+2 ELISA disappeared when there was one NAT. The cost of HIV reagents, the cost of HIV treatment and the cost of false positive discarding were sensitive factors of the model. 【Conclusion】 In this area, one anti-HIV 1+2 ELISA combined with one NAT has a cost-effectiveness advantage. Blood centers need to confirm and evaluate the ELISA reagents used before conducting HIV screening. Under the premise of ensuring sensitivity, reagent cost and reagent false positive rate are the key factors.
