Antibiotics being currently the most extensively used medicine in clinical practice and abuse of them being prevalent, it is thus necessary to monitor in an effective and systematic manner the rational use of them. Based on the existing database and network of hospital information system, a monitoring system for the rational use of antibiotics was successfully developed using the development tool of PowerBuild. This functionally powerful and easy-to-use system, which provides comprehensive and reliable information, improved work efficiency and managerial level by automatically monitoring many chief indicators of antibiotic usage, including dosage, resistance, combination with other drugs, course, pathway, usage during the perioperative period, usage for preventive purposes, therapeutic effect, and the ratio of hospital infection occurrence resulting from the use of antibiotics under different circumstances.

Objective To analyze MRI features of real tears and pseudotears of posterior horn of the lateral meniscus (PHLM) at the insertion site of meniscofemoral ligament(MFL), and to discuss main points of differential diagnosis. Methods MR images of 32 patients with PHLM tears and 30 patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears but without PHLM tears confirmed by arthroscopy were analyzed retrospectively. Another 20 asymptomatic volunteers as controls underwent MR examination and analyzed. The number of consecutive slices displaying longitudinal increased signal in sagittal images and the length in axial images were evaluated. The one?way analysis of variance, χ2 test and ROC curve were used to analyze diagnostic value of different MRI findings. Results Longitudinal line with abnormal increased signal (pseudotear) was found in 82.0% (41/50) normal insertion site of MFLs. The typical MRI finding of real tears was peripheral longitudinal linear high signal in PHLM which reached the margin of articular surface. In sagittal images, longitudinal linear high signal was shown in (5.8 ± 1.2) slices in knees of real tears, which was more than (2.6±1.1) slices and (2.7±1.4) slices in pseudo?tear groups (F=60.9, P<0.01). The area under ROC curve was 0.96 for differentiating real tear from pseudo-tear using the number of consecutive slices displaying longitudinal increased signal in sagittal images. With a threshold of five or more consecutive images with abnormal longitudinal increased signal as the positive standard of continuous?line sign, the overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for diagnosing real tear were 90.6%(29/32), 90.2%(37/41) and 90.4%(66/73), respectively. The axial images showed that the length of increased signal line in the outer of PHLM was (16.4±4.9) mm in patients with real tears, which was longer than pseudo?tear groups with length of (8.1 ± 3.2) mm and (6.0 ± 3.1) mm (F=17.0, P<0.01). The area under ROC curve was 0.92 for differentiating real tear from pseudo?tear using the length in axial images. The zip sign was defined when its length was not less than 10 mm. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the zip sign was 84.4%(27/32), 90.2%(37/41) and 87.7%(64/73) respectively. In coronal images, high signal of MFL attachment insertion was shown in 71.9%(23/32), 60.0%(15/25) and 10/16 cases, there was no significant difference (χ2=0.98, P=0.61). Conclusion The continuous?line sign and zip sign are characteristic findings of PHLM tears at the insertion site of MFL attachment, which are valuable for differential diagnosis with pseudotears at the insertion site of MFL.

Objective To compare the laboratory and clinical results between unstimulated in vitro maturation (IVM) and IVM converted from in vitro fertilization (IVF) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and non-PCOS patients.Methods We divided 591 IVM cycles in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical Univesity from Jan.2008 to Dec.2013 into 4 groups:group A1B1,PCOS patients underwent unstimulated IVM protocol,240 cycles; group A1B2,PCOS patients underwent IVM converted from conventional stimulated IVF protocol,153 cycles; group A2B1,non-PCOS patients underwent unstimutlated IVM protocol,103 cycles; group A2B2,non-PCOS patient underwent IVM converted from conventional stimulated IVF protocol,95 cycles.Multiple linear regression method and binary logistic regression method were used to assess the influence of PCOS and protocols for IVM on laboratory and clinical outcomes.Results The mean number of oocytes retrieved was positively related with PCOS [partial regression coefficient (B)=3.37,P＜0.01].The maturation rate of oocytes was positively related with hCG-prime prior to oocyte aspiration (B=0.05,P=0.010).High-quality embryo rate was positively related with PCOS and IVM converted from IVF (B=0.08,P=0.010; B=0.09,P=0.001),as well as implantation rate related with them (B=0.07,P=0.010; B=0.10,P＜0.01).PCOS and IVM converted from IVF improved hCG positive (hCG＞10 U/L) rate (OR=1.636,95％CI:1.113-2.204,P＜0.05; OR=1.861,95％CI:1.307-2.649,P＜0.05) and the clinical pregnancy rate (OR=1.507,95％CI:1.041-2.240,P＜0.05; OR=1.881,95％CI:1.312-2.696,P＜0.05).IVM converted from IVF protocol decreased the spontaneous abortion rate (OR=0.490,95％CI:0.245-0.978,P＜0.05).Multiple gestation rate and ectopic pregnancy rate were not affected by PCOS condition and protocol used (P＞0.05).Conclusions PCOS and IVM converted from IVF protocol improved the high-quality embryo rate,implantation rate,hCG positive rate and clinical pregnancy rate.IVM converted from IVF protocol reduced the spontaneous abortion rate.PCOS patients may be more suitable for the IVM treatment.No matter PCOS or non-PCOS patients,IVM converted from IVF protocol had better pregnancy outcome than that of unstimulated cycle.

Objective To investigate clinical effect of in vitro maturation(IVM)of immature oocytes transferred from conventional in vitro fertilization embryo transfer(IVF-ET) cycles.Methods From January 2008 to June 2009.medical documents of 155 infertile patients underwent IVF-ET in the Reproductive Medical Center of Fimt Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were analyzed retrospectively.If more than 20 oocytes were monitored after 5-7 days of ovulation induction or follicular developmental retardation were confirmed after 8-13 days of ovulation induction.according to patients' wish,IVM were transferred in 60 cycles(group A).In the mean time.IVF was continued in 95 cycles (group B).The mean dosage of gonadotropin,the cancel lation rate of cycles,the mean numbers of oocytes retrieved and maturation,the rate of fertilization and excellent quality embryos.pregnancy outcome and the incidence rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS)were compared and analyzed.Results The rates of embryo transfer were 92%(55/60)in group A and 63%(60/95)in group B,which showed significant differences (P<0.05).In group A,the mean dosage of the gonadotropin,the mean number of oocytes retrieved,the cleavage rate and OHSS rate were(1030±468)U,10±6,82.2%(231/281)and O,and were(1544±338)U,14±4,94.0%(502/534)and 35%(21/60)in group B,respectively,all data abeve exhibited statistieal difference between two groups(P<0.05).However,the rates of fertilization and excellent quality embryos had no significant differences between two groups(P>0.05).In group A,the rate of clinical pregnancy per transfer was 53%(29/55)and multiple pregnancy was 14%(4/29),and were 47%(28/60) and 32%(9/28)in group B,they all had no significant differences (P>0.05).Conclusion IVM of immature oocytes used in conventional IVF cycles not only obtained a high clinical pregnancy rate,but also reduced gonadotropin using dosage and avoided OHSS completely.

Objective To analysis the incidence and management of monozygotic twin (MZT) conceived by assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical pregnancies and MZT that resulted from ART was performed in Reproductive Medical Center,the First Affiliated Hospital,Wenzhou Medical University between January 2011 and January 2014. Results A total of 5 908 pregnancies were diagnosed: 2 012 twins, 157 high-order multiple pregnancy (HOMP), including 4 quadruplets. Overall, 51 MZT pregnancies were identified of them including 32 cases HOMP and 19 cases MZT. The incidence of MZT resulting from cleavage-stage embryo transfer was similar to blastocyst transfer (P=0.960). The percent of MZT resulting from in vitro fertilization [0.93% (28/3 022)], frozen-thawed embryo transfer [0.87% (13/1 502)] and intracytoplamic sperm injection [0.72% (10/1 384)] did not show statistical significance (P=0.794). The expectantly managed MZT was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of miscarriage [6/19 vs 5.11% (101/1 976)], and low birth weight infant [73.91% (17/23) vs 42.89% (1 453/3 388), P<0.01], when compared with dizygotic twin (DZT) did not undergo selective embryo reduction(SER). In monozygotic (MZ)-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses or to 1 fetus, there was no cases of preterm birth or low birth weight infant observed in MZ-triplets with SER to 1 fetus;when compared with MZ-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses, the low birth weight infant [56.00% (14/25), P=0.021] has statistical significance. The likelihood of the survival of two babies was lower in MZ-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses when compared with non-MZ triplets with SER to 2 fetuses [42.86%(9/21)vs 75.21%(91/121), P=0.003]. Conclusions The incidence of MZT pregnancies following ART is high. It plays a significant role in the occurrence of HOMP. MZT pregnancies are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes , it should transform to a single embryo thansfer (SET) program to reduce them incideuce. Reduction of MZT contained in multiple pregnancies appears to be a safe option.

ObjectiveTo describe different non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） outcomes among community inhabitants， and further to explore the correlation between bio-indicator level variance and the outcomes. MethodsPhysical indicators （height， weight， waist circumstances， hip circumstances， blood pressure， etc）， biochemical indicators ［fasting plasma glucose， HbA1c， serum triglycerides（TG）， serum total cholesterol（TC）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C）， liver related transaminase， etc］ and clinical imaging （B-scan ultrasonography） were collected during the follow-up from the Songjiang Natural Population Sub-cohort. The identification of NAFLD was supported by the definition criteria from Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non⁃alcoholic fatty liver disease. Paired t-test and multifactorial logistic regression model were used to compare the difference between the indicator level of the subjects from different outcome subgroups and to further analyze the correlation between these indicator variance and different NAFLD outcomes. ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 2.94 years， 12 076 subjects were involved. The cumulative NAFLD incidence and remission rate were 21.57% and 31.15%， respectively. The proportion of subjects who still had NAFLD was 27.96%. Among subjects with newly-developed NAFLD， indicators including blood pressure， BMI， fasting plasma glucose， and plasma lipid level increased， while in the remission subgroup， blood pressure， BMI（WHR）， waist-hip ratio（WHR）， and TG level were significantly decreased. Increased level of systolic pressure， WHR， BMI， HbA1c， and LDL-C might be the risk factors to the occurrence of NAFLD. While decreased level of WHR， BMI， TC and LDL-C level and elevated HDL-C level were likely to be the influencing factors of NAFLD remission process. ConclusionThe NAFLD morbidity in the community inhabitants is relatively high. BMI， WHR， fasting plasma sugar and plama lipid level variance may act as the influencing factors towards different NAFLD outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the comorbidity of community patients with stroke in Songjiang District， Shanghai， determine the prevalence and characteristics of comorbidities and influencing factors， and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of stroke. MethodsA natural population-based cohort study was conducted in several communities of Songjiang District from April 2016 to October 2017. Questionnaire survey， physical examination and biochemical examination were conducted in the cohort population to understand the comorbidity of 1 523 patients with stroke at baseline. ResultsThe prevalence of comorbidities in community patients with stroke was 74.0%， which was higher in female （76.36%） than that in male （70.76%）. The average number of comorbidities was 2.62±1.56， which was significantly higher in female （2.70±1.58） than that in male （2.52±1.54） （t=-2.31， P=0.021）. In this population， the most common two-comorbidity combination was hypertension+central obesity （35.85%）， and the most common three-comorbidity combination was hypertension+dyslipidemia+central obesity （17.20%）， with statistically significant differences by gender and age groups （P<0.05）. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥65 years， urban population， hyperhomocysteinemia （HHcy）， and family history of hypertension were risk factors associated with comorbidities， whereas educational level of middle school and high school， and physical exercise 1‒3 days per week were protective factors. ConclusionPrevalence of comorbidity is high in community patients with stroke in Songjiang District， Shanghai. It is suggested to control blood pressure and body weight， adopt healthy lifestyle and take comprehensive prevention and treatment measures in this population.

ObjectiveTo determine the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of hypertension in residents in Songjiang District of Shanghai， and provide evidence for prevention and control of hypertension. MethodsLocal residents aged between 20 and 74 years were recruited from four towns in Songjiang District from 2016 to 2017 by using a multistage sampling strategy. Questionnaire surveys were conducted， and then physical examination， blood pressure measurement， glucose test and lipid test were performed. The data was analyzed by SPSS 16.0 software. Chi-square test was used to compare the differences in the prevalence of hypertension in residents， stratified by demographics and health conditions. Risk factors were determined by multivariate logistic regression. ResultsAmong 35 759 residents with a median age of 58 years and the proportion of male being 40.67%， crude prevalence of hypertension was 54.24% （19 395/35 759） and standardized prevalence was 31.69%. In the hypertensive patients， proportion of hypertension awareness was 61.09%， with 63.67% in male and 59.10% in female. Proportion of receiving treatment was 49.00%， with 50.91% in male and 47.51% in female. Furthermore， in the hypertensive patients with treatment， proportion of effectively controlling hypertension was 40.50%， with 44.46% in male and 37.21% in female. Multivariate logistic regression showed that male （OR=1.272）， senior age （40‒59 years old： OR=4.353， 60‒74 years old： OR=9.802）， overweight （OR=1.823）， obesity （OR=3.070）， central obesity （OR=1.380）， diabetes （OR=1.923）， dyslipidemia （OR=1.452）， and drinking （OR=1.338） were risk factors associated with hypertension. ConclusionPrevalence of hypertension is high， while the proportions of receiving treatment and effective control remain low in residents in Songjiang District. It warrants strengthening prevention and control of hypertension in targeted and young residents.
