After the connotation of the standard system for digitalization of ancient medical documents was analyzed, its construction principles were elaborated with measures proposed for how to construct it.

Objective To establish a double-antibody sandwich ELISA for the rapid detection of shiga toxin typeⅡ ( StxⅡ) in shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli ( STEC) infection. Methods A pool of murine hybridomas was used to screen out the optimal antibody pair for the establishment of double-anti-body sandwich ELISA. The established ELISA system was used to detect StxⅡin the culture supernatants of 16 clinical strains of STEC. Specificity and sensitivity of the established ELISA system were also evaluated. Results Two antibodies, S2D8 and S2C6, were successfully screened out, based on which the double-anti-body sandwich ELISA was set up. StxⅡand its variants rather than StxⅠwas detected in the culture super-natants of STEC with a lowest detection limit of 4 ng/ml. Its performance was consistent with that of commer-cial colloidal gold test kit, indicating the characteristics of good specificity and sensitivity. Conclusion The S2D8/S2C6-based ELISA laid a foundation for researches which designates the shiga toxin as a potential can-didate on the diagnosis and therapy of STEC infection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prognostic value of fluid responsiveness in patients with acute respiratory stress syndrome (ARDS).Methods Fifty-nine mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS were enrolled.Their stroke volume variations (SVV) were detected by pulse contour continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) analysis device,and then the patients were subsequently divided into fluid responsive group (SVV≥15％) and fluid non-responsive group (SVV ＜ 15％ ).The differences in 28-day survival,length of ICU stay and duration of mechanical ventilation between the 2 groups were compared.Thereafter,the 28-day survival of patients was analyzed by Kaplain-Meier survival model and the relationship between SVV and mortality within 28 days was analyzed by logistic regression model.Results In comparison with fluid non-responsive group,the 28-day survival of fluid responsive group was significantly increased (85.3％ vs.56.0％,P =0.012),the length of ICU stay was significantly shortened [( 13.1 ±5.2 ) d vs. (21.6±9.0) d,P=0.008],and the duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly shortened as well [( 11.4 ± 5.3 ) d vs.( 18.3 ± 4.9) d,P =0.022] ; Logistic analysis revealed that SVV ＜ 15％ increased the risk of 28-day mortality ( OR =4.82 ; 95％ CI:2.67 ～ 11.71,P =0.009 ).ConclusionsSVV-based fluid responsiveness can be served as a prognostic predictor for ventilated patients with ARDS.

Objective To evaluate the influence of narrow-band ultraviolet B on lesional microvessel density (MVD),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2)as well as on serum VEGF in patients with psoriasis vulgaris(PV).Methods Fifteen patients with PV were recruited into this study with 10 normal human controls.All patients received NB-UVB phototherapy thrice a week for 4-5 weeks.Prior and after the treatment,psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)was calculated,tissue specimens were taken from non-photoexposed lesions,and sera samples were obtained from these patients.Then,MvD and the expression level of VEGF and MMP-2 were measured by immunohistochemical labeled dextran polymer(LDP)method in the tissue specimens.Also,the serum level of VEGF was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results PASI score remarkably decreased in patients after the photothempy(t=13.35,P＜0.01).The MVDs were 20.52±5.02,7.33±1.24 and 4.26±0.79 capillaries per high power field(400 × amplification),in psoriatic lesions before treatment,after treatment,and normal control tissues,respectively,with a significant difference among the three groups (F=97.57,P＜0.05),and a significant increase was observed in the lesions before treatment compared with those after treatment and normal controls.The serum level of VEGF was 307.55±121.65 ng/L in psoriatic lesions before treatment,significantly higher than that after treatment(163.92±95.57 ng/L),and in normal control skin (139.78±79.06 ng/L),whereas there was no significant difference between the latter two groups(P＞0.05).The positivity rate of MMP-2 was similar among the three groups without statistical difference(P＞0.05).In psoriatic patients,a positive correlation was observed among PASI score,MVD,lesional and serum VEGF levels(P＜0.05),also among the MVD,VEGF and MMP-2 levels in lesions(P＜0.05).but lesional MMP-2 was unrelated to PASI score or sgrum VEGF(both P＞0.05).Conclusions NB-UVB may regulate superficial dermal microvascular proliferation by acting on the expression of VEGF in sera and lesions of psoriatic patients.VEGF and MMP-2 may bOth participate in the proliferation process of microvessels,while MMP-2 is unlikely to be involved in the therapeutic mechanism of NB-UVB.

Objective: To establish a prediction model for infectious disease index（IDI）by autoregressive integrated moving average（ARIMA）,and to provide forcast of infectious diseases to the public. Methods: The data of the percentage of influenza-like illness（ILI）,the incidence rates of hand-foot-mouth disease（HFMD）and other infectious diarrhea（OID）from the 1st week of 2014 to the 14th week of 2018,and Breteau index（BI）from the 1st week of 2016 to the 14th week of 2018 were collected. ARIMA models were built to predict the risk indicators of ILI,HFMD,OID and BI. The weights of the four indicators were evaluated seasonally by the entropy weight method. Then the IDI was calculated and the data of ILI,HFMD, OID and BI from 15th to 19th week in 2018 was used for verification. Results: The forecast was in summer,so IDI=ROUND（0.33×risk index of ILI percentage +0.47×risk index of HFMD incidence +0.10×risk index of OID incidence+0.10×risk index of BI）. The predicted IDI would be 2（less safe）in the whole city and Xiangzhou District,and 1（safe）in Doumen District and Jinwan District. The consistency rates of IDI prediction was 97.50%,95.00%,97.50%,85.00% and 77.50% from 15th to 19th week in 2018,respectively. Conclusion It was feasible to use IDI for short-term risk prediction of infectious diseases.

Objective    To analyze the clinical efficacy of transthoracic occlusion via a right subaxillary incision and conventional surgery in the treatment of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods    The clinical data of patients with congenital VSD undergoing right subaxillary incision surgery in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical methods, the patients were divided into two groups: a conventional surgery group (conventional group) and a transthoracic occlusion group (occlusion group). There were 221 patients in the conventional group, including 97 males and 124 females, with an average age of 2.6±2.2 years and an average weight of 13.4±6.2 kg; there were 185 patients in the occlusion group, including 90 males and 95 females, with an average age of 3.2±2.6 years and an average weight of 14.7±6.6 kg. The clinical effectiveness was compared. Results    The success rate of surgery was 100% in both groups. The intraoperative blood loss was less in the occlusion group (P<0.05). The incision length, operation time, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, retention time in the intensive care unit, the time to resume normal diet and normal activities after operation were all shorter than those in the conventional group (P all <0.05). The total cost during hospitalization of the conventional group was less than that of the occlusion group (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the incidence rate of perioperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). During the follow-up (15.8±8.8 months), the incidence of complications in the conventional group was higher than that in  the occlusion group with a statistical difference (P<0.001). Conclusion    Compared with conventional surgery, transthoracic occlusion for VSD via right subaxillary incision has the advantages of smaller incision, shorter operation time, less blood loss, shorter postoperative recovery time and less long-term complications. However, the total hospitalization cost is relatively high, mainly because of the high consumables cost, and the long-term effects still need further comparative observation.

Objective    To reveal the risk factors for delayed recovery and complications in infants with weight≤ 5.0 kg after surgical ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure. Methods    We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of 86 patients with weight≤5.0 kg who were admitted to our institution for surgical VSD closure between January 2016 and July 2019, including 31 males and 55 females with an age of 17-266 (80.3±40.4) d and a weight of 2.5-5.0 (4.4±0.6) kg. The VSDs were divided into perimembranous (n=65, 75.6%), subaortic (n=17, 19.8%) and subaortic combined muscular types (n=4, 4.7%). Mechanical ventilation (MV) time≥24 h or ICU stay≥72 h were defined as delayed recovery. Death, sudden circulatory arrest, complete heart block requiring a permanent or temporary pacemaker implantation, neurological complications, reoperation (for residue shunt or valvular regurgitation), reintubation and diaphragmatic paralysis were considered as significant major adverse events. Results    There was no death, reoperation due to residual VSD or neurological complication. Totally 51 (59.3%) patients had MV timec≥24 h and 51 (59.3%) patients stayed in the ICU≥ 72 h. Two (2.3%) patients required temporary pacemaker and six (7.0%) patients required reintubation. During the follow-up of 3-36 (15.8±8.8) months, 1 patient died of pneumonia after discharge, 5 patients suffered mild tricuspid valve regurgitation and 1 patient suffered decreased left ventricular systolic function in the follow-up. No aortic valve injuries occurred. Conclusion    For patients whose weight≤5.0 kg, short-term results of surgical VSD closure are excellent. Low weight and age may prolong MV time; low birth weight and pulmonary hypertension may prolong ICU stay, but are not independent risk factors.
