Abstract: Objective To analyze the resistance and spatial distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to six commonly used anti-tuberculosis drugs in Qinghai Province from 2016 to 2019, so as to provide a reference for tuberculosis treatment and drug-resistant tuberculosis control. Methods A total of 1 182 identified strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Qinghai Province from 2016 to 2019 were collected, and 6 anti-tuberculosis drugs were subjected to drug susceptibility tests and strain confirmed by the proportional method. By means of ArcMap10.7 and SaTScan10.1 software, map visualization, spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial scanning of MTB drug resistance were performed to identify MTB drug resistance clusters in Qinghai Province. Results From 2016 to 2019, the total drug resistance (TDR) rate of 1 182 Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Qinghai Province was 23.77% (281/1 182), with a mono-resistance (MR) rate of 11.08% (131/1 182), a poly-resistance (PDR) rate of 3.89% (46/1 182), a multi-drug resistance (MDR) rate of 8.80% (104/1 182), and an extensive drug resistance (XDR) rate of 0.85% (10/1 182). The rates of MDR, XDR and TDR all showed a decreasing trend year by year (P<0.01). The drug resistance spectrum displayed 21 combinations. The TDR rate and MDR rate in the retreatment patients were higher than those of the initial treated patients, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 TDR=22.784, χ2MDR=45.082, P<0.01). In terms of demographic characteristics, the TDR rate in males was higher than that in females, and the middle-aged group was higher than other age groups, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=7.541, 10.825, P<0.05). The results of global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that there was no statistical significance in the autocorrelation and obvious spatial clustering of MTB drug resistance in Qinghai Province from 2016 to 2019 (P>0.05), which indicated a random distribution. The results of spatiotemporal scanning showed that there was a kind of clustering area, but the clustering effect was not significant (P>0.05), indicating a random distribution. Conclusions The TDR of MTB in Qinghai Province from 2016 to 2019 showed a downward trend year by year. In comparison with the national average, the rate of multi-drug resistance and extensive drug resistance was still high, and most of the multi-drug resistance resulted from rifampicin and isoniazid. The drugresistant population mainly consisted of retreatment, males, and young and middle-aged pop

Objective To understand affective characteristic of Chinese words. Method 1300 adjectives and nouns of Chinese words were rated in five point scale by 65 participants in three dimensions: emotional valence,arousal and familiarity. Results Neither age effect nor gender effect were found for the word scores in each scale of each dimension. The correlation coefficients between each two dimensions were significant (P＜0.01):0. 787 for valence-arousal, 0. 550 for valence-familiarity and 0. 600 for arousal-familiarity.Conclusion The affective vocabulary system of Chinese words can be used as a tool in future emotional research.

Objective To evaluate traditional surgical treatment, intraluminal strategy and hybrid operation on revascularization of atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower extremity. Methods Clinical data of 197 ASO cases receiving revascularization from January, 1998 to December, 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Seventy-seven cases underwent surgical treatment, 82 cases received intraluminal therapy, and 38 cases were treated by hybrid operation. The indications, clinical effect, complication and perioperational mortality of these three strategies were evaluated. Results 71% patients (164 cases) were followed up from 2 to 112 months. Surgical and intraluminal method had no statistical difference on long-term patency of aortic-iliac and femoral-popliteal artery (57% vs. 51%;48% vs. 42%). Hybrid procedure led to higher patency on multi-level lesion and concurrent thrombosis. The complications after surgery was higher than intraluminal on aortic- iliac and femoral-popliteal artery (31% vs. 12%;31% vs. 11%), and higher than intraluminal and hybrid on multi-level lesion (36% vs. 12% vs. 15%). The perioperative mortality of surgical group was 1.5% and 2.0% on aortic-iliac and multilevel lesion and 0% on other site;and that of intraluminal and hybrid procedure was 0%. Conclusion For aortic-iliac and femoral-popliteal artery revascularization, surgery was preferred in cases of long occlusive lesion and intervention was preferred for cases with short non-occlusive lesion. Hybrid procedure was the best for multi-level and concurrent thrombosis.
