A series of new coumarin-based benzotriazole derivatives were successfully synthesized via a multi-step sequence of cyclization, etherification and N-alkylation, and were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, MS spectra as well as elemental analyses. All these synthesized coumarin compounds were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activities against four Gram-positive bacteria, four Gram-negative bacteria and three fungi by two fold serial dilution technique. The bioactive assay showed that all these prepared coumarin benzotriazoles could inhibit the growth of the tested bacterial and fungal strains. Title compounds 11a-11e and 13a-13c were more active than chloromycin on Proteus vulgaris ATCC 6896. Coumarin benzotriazoles 11a and 11b displayed comparable antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Micrococcus luteus ATCC 4698 in comparison with reference drug chloromycin. Compared to fluconazole, compounds 11a-11d displayed stronger inhibition on Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 96918. Moreover, coumarin-based benzotriazoles in combination with antibacterial chloromycin or antifungal fluconazole, showed notable antimicrobial efficacy with less dosage and broader antimicrobial spectrum. More importantly, fluconazole-insensitive A. fumigatus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus N 315 (MRSA) were sensitive to these combined drugs.

Objective:To analyze the genetic test results and ultrasonographic markers of 41 fetuses with short femurs and their relationship.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed 41 fetuses who were diagnosed with short femurs by ultrasound during 19-37 gestational weeks and underwent prenatal genetic examination at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to June 2019. According to the results of genetic examination, these cases were divided into three groups after excluding three cases of variants of unknown significance: genetically normal group, chromosome variation (including chromosomal aneuploidy and pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations) group, and gene mutation (including pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene mutations) group. According to the head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and femur length (FL), Z FL, FL/HC, FL/AC, ΔZ H-F and ΔZ H+A-2F for each fetus were calculated. One-way ANOVA and LSD- t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) Among the 41 fetuses with short femurs, there were 28 in the genetically normal group, five in the chromosome variation group, three with chromosome variations of unknown significance and five in the gene mutation group. (2) In the genetically normal, chromosome variation and gene mutation groups, Z FL values were -2.78±0.77, -4.36±0.69 and -4.69±0.70; FL/HC ratios were 0.178±0.011, 0.170±0.010 and 0.131±0.022; FL/AC ratios were 0.197±0.013, 0.186±0.011 and 0.151±0.017; ΔZ H-F values were 2.49±1.09, 3.53±1.28 and 8.17±1.30; ΔZ H+A-2F values were 4.44±2.00, 6.78±2.20 and 14.28±1.26, respectively. The differences in Z FL values between the genetically normal group and the chromosome variation group as well as the gene mutation group were statistically significant (both P<0.05); so were the differences in FL/HC, FL/AC and ΔZ H-F values between the gene mutation group and the genetically normal group as well as the chromosome variation group (all P<0.05) and in any pairwise comparison of ΔZ H+A-2F among the three groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The genetic etiology of fetal short femurs is mainly related to chromosomal variations (including chromosomal aneuploidy and pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations) and gene mutation. In fetuses with chromosome variation and gene mutation, the degree of the femoral development delay relative to the development of HC and AC is worse than that in the normal genetic results group.

Lipids metabolism can change after traumas such as operation or injury.The process is com-prised of accelerated hydrolysis of triglyceride in adipose tissue,accelerated absorption of fatty acids by extra-he-patic tissue,improved lipid oxidation rate,and augmented re-esterification of fatty acids in liver and adipose tis-sue.Mechanisms of lipid mobilization include sympathetic stimulation,insulin resistance,and inflammation.How-ever,lipid absorption by liver and intestine is inhibited after trauma.Through post-trauma nutritional support,glu-cose administration improves re-esterification of fatty acids and inhibits lipid oxidation without affecting lipolysis.Fat emulsion infusion inhibits both absorption and secretion of triglyceride in liver.Therefore,clinicians should a-void over-alimentation of glucose and fat to prevent lipid overload,particularly in liver. Intervention of post-trau-matic lipid metabolism improves the outcomes:administration of long-chain triglycerides can prevent exhaustion of essential fatty acids,and administration of cholesterol can improve absorption and oxidation of fat emulsion.

Objective To study the clinical and pathologic features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). Methods We reported the detailed clinical and pathologic presentation of a patient with SMZL, and monitored fellow-up to 16 years. Results Patients present with splenomegaly. SMZL usually involve bone marrow, peripheral blood and hilar splenic lympha nodes. Peripheral lymph nodes and nonhematolymphoid organs can be involved as well, but to a lesser extent.Microscopically, tumor cells are small to medium in size, with dispersed chromation. Tumor cells are slgM(+),CD+20, CD+79a,, bcl-2(+), CD-3, CD-5, CD-10, CD-23 and CyclinDl(-). Conclusion SMZL is a rare low-grade B-cell lymphoma with an indolent clinical course. Spleneetomy and chemotherapy are effective treatment but SMZL cannot be completely cured and may transform to large B-cell lymphoma at last.
