A cross-sectional study of 92 women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) was performed.The patients were composed of 4 groups according to the Rotterdam criteria and were also divided into 2 groups according to body mass index and divided into 2 groups according to insulin-releasing test.Anthropometric measurements were recorded,and hormonal profile was assessed by measuring FSH,LH,prolactin,and testosterone.The metabolic profile was investigated by measuring glucose and insulin level during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT),then calculating the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA).Serum lipid levels,including total cholesterol,triglycerides,high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol,and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were determirned.The result suggests that the classification according to the revised 2003 Rotterdam consensus on diagnosis does not reflect dyslipidemia in PCOS.Dyslipidemia in hyperinsulinemic group and obesity group were more severe than that in non-hyperinsulinemic group and non-obese group ; this finding needs our attention in early treatment and prevention of late complications of PCOS.

Objective:To explore the application value of combined detection of troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme mass (CKMBmass), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) in the diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:A total of 102 AMI patients in Wanbei Coal Power Group General Hospital from July 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the AMI group. In addition, 60 patients diagnosed with chest pain (CP) and chest distress (CD) during the same period were selected as the CPCD group, and 60 healthy patients were selected as the healthy control group. The levels of cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in the peripheral blood of the three groups were compared, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP. The AMI group was given thrombolytic therapy. The clinical data of patients with different curative effects, the trend of changes in peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP levels before and after treatment were compared, and the relationship between the above indicators and clinical indicators and curative effects were analyzed.Results:The levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in the AMI group were higher than those in the CPCD group and the healthy control group, and the levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in CPCD group were higher than those in the healthy control group ( P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) values of cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in the combined diagnosis of CPCD and AMI were 0.898 and 0.926, respectively, which were higher than those of single diagnosis. The time from onset to thrombolysis, infarct location, diabetes, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on admission of effective patients and ineffective patients were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP of effective patients were lower than those of ineffective patients when they were admitted to the hospital and 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after treatment ( P<0.05). The peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP on admission were positively correlated with DBP, SBP, LVESV, LVESD, LVEDD, LVEDV, and was negatively correlated with LVEF ( P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that after the onset to thrombolysis time, infarct location, smoking, diabetes, SBP, DBP, LVESV, LVESD, LVEDD, LVEDV, LVEF and other factors at admission were controlled, the levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, FDP were still significantly related to the efficacy ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP are all abnormally expressed in AMI patients. Combined detection has clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of AMI.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the phenotype and drug resistance of Robinsoniella peoriensis strains isolated from the blood of patients with prostate cancer and to learn the epidemiological characteristics of the strains. Methods Culture medium growth characteristics analysis, Gram staining, VITEK MS mass spectrometry identification, in vitro drug susceptibility test, 16S rRNA gene sequencing were performed on the strains, and case summary analysis, historical drug sensitivity results comparison and phylogenetic tree construction were carried out. Results Four of the repeatability tests of mass spectrometry identification were R. peoriensis, and the identification accuracy was 99.9%, which was the first time that mass spectrometry analysis in China accurately detected this strain. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the strain was R. peoriensis, and GenBank accession number is OL826796. There are currently 18 cases of R. peoriensis related to human infection in the world, mainly including bloodstream infection, prosthetic joint infection, and postoperative wound infection. The homology of OL826796 in this case with HGUE-09/943 (GU322806.1) isolated in Spanish was 99.58%; in vitro drug susceptibility showed that OL826796 was resistant to penicillin and clindamycin, and sensitive to vancomycin, imipenem, tetracycline and metronidazole. Statistical analysis of drug susceptibility of 18 cases found that R. peoriensis could be tested for drug susceptibility by E-test method: penicillin 100% (7/7), clindamycin 70% (7/10), ampenem 0% (0/4), metronidazole 0% (0/9), meropenem 0% (0/4), vancomycin 0% (0/3). Conclusion R. peoriensis is a rare anaerobic-positive bacillus. When sterile site infection occurs, attention should be paid to timely communication with clinical reports, and penicillin and clindamycin should be used cautiously to fight infection, so as to improve the cure rate of postoperative immunocompromised patients.

Objective To examine the hemodynamic changes and oxygen metabolism during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) .Methods Twenty patients (18 male, 2 female) aged (60?8)yr, weighing (71?9)kg undergoing OPCABG were studied. The patients were premedicated with diazepam 10 mg PO 2h before operation and morphine 10 mg and scopolamine 0.3 mg im 30 min before operation. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1-0.2 mg?kg-1, fentanyl 5-10 ug?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.12-0.15 mg?kg-1 and maintained with 0.5%-2% isoflurane inhalation, fentanyl 10-20 ug?kg-1 and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium and in some patients propofol infusion. Radial artery was cannulated. Swan-Ganz catheter was placed via internal jugular vein into pulmonary artery. Hemodynamic parameters including MAP, HR, cardiac index (CI), stroke volume (SV), MPAP, PCWP, SVR, left ventricle stroke work index (LVSWI) and RVSWI; oxygen metabolism including oxygen delivery (DO2) , oxygen consumption (VO2) and oxygen extraction ratio (ERO2); regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSCO2) and arterial blood lactate level (ABL) were measured and recorded before skin incision (A), when pericardium was incised before operation on the heart (B), during operation on the heart (C), 10 min after operation on the heart (D) and at the end of surgery (E) . Results During surgical manipulation on the heart (C) MAP, SV and CI decreased while CVP and HR increased, but the decrease in CI and SV was not significant. During manipulation on the heart(C) DO2 decreased whereas ERO2 increased, but there was no significant change in VO2. After manipulation on the heart (D) DO2 and ERO2 returned to the pre-manipulation level. Arterial blood lactate concentration increased at E. Conclusion OPCABG can be performed uneventfully under our general anesthetic regimen. During operation while the beating heart is being manipulated MAP tends to decrease while CVP and HR increase. The changes are of short duration and do not result in any serious consequeaces.
