Objective To study the common influenza viruses infection of hospitalized patients admitted for acute respiratory tract infections, using gold immunchromatographic assay ( GICA ) to detect influenza viruses. Methods The result of FluA/B antigen detection in 1145 patients with various types of respiratory diseases from two class-A hospitals were analyzed. Influenza virus detection rates of patients in different seasons,with different gender,age,types of respiratory diseases and whether with foundation diseases were analyzed to identify the common rules and characteristics. Results There were significant differences for Flu A/b detection rate between first quarter and the second or third quarter,P <0.05 by x2 test( FluA x2 = 17. 735, P = 0.000;X2 = 14.855,P = 0. 000;FluB x2 =5. 326,P = 0. 021;x2 = 4.349, P = 0.037 ) . The result was repeated in the comparison between Flu A/B detection rate in the fourth quarter and the second or third quarter,P <0. 05 by x2 test (FluA x2 =19. 480,P= 0.000;x2 =16.771,,P=0. 000;FluB X2 = 6. 885.P = 0. 009;x2 =5. 959,P =0.015). These results indicated the detection rates of the first and fourth quarter were higher than the second and third quarter. Elderly patients (≥65 years old) had higher Flu A/ B detection rate compared with patients below 65 years ( FluA x2 =55. 362,P = 0.000;FluB x2 = 8.984,P = 0.003). The detection rate of Flu A/B in patients without foundation diseases or with one,two or three kinds of foundation diseases had significant differences, which showed with an increase in the number of types of the foundation diseases, FluA/B-positive detection rate increased. In patients with various foundation diseases, the FluA antigen detection rate in group of AECOPD patients was 18.2% and 17.1% in pneumonia group, which were higher than in all other diseases. Conclusions Sporadic cases of influenza were found in general wards, incidence rate was higher in the first and the fourth quarter. There is a higher risk of influenza virus infection for elder patients and patients with foundation diseases.

Objective To explore the effects of drugs on functions of mitochondria in retinal nerve cells, and to lay a foundation of the investigation of drug protection for retinal nerve cells. Methods Cultivation of the retinal nerve cells of 8 eyes of neonatal calves was performed. The changes of fluorescent density of the mitochondria of cultured cells labeled by dye rhodamine 123 (Rh123) before and after the activation of the medicines, including ferulic acid (FA), arginine, glycine, taurine, vitamine E and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) respectively, were detected by laser-scanning confocal microscopy. Results FA with the concentration of 500 ?g/ml led the diphasic variation of the fluorescent intensity of mitochondria. After scanning for 60.772 seconds when treated with FA firstly, the fluorescent intensity decreased rapidly (from 45.425?4.153 to 22.135?5.293); while after 112.774 seconds when treated secondly, the intensity increased obviously (from 19.655?4.383 to 28.247?4.764), and after 168.773 seconds when treated thirdly the intensity still increased. After scanning for 56.457 seconds when treated with vitamin E (12.5 mg/ml), the fluorescent intensity increased obviously (from 88.255?5.039 to 111.273?4.529), which suggested that vitamin E with the concentration of 12.5 mg/ml strengthen the fluorescent intensity. After scanning for 58.147 and 134.148 seconds when treated with BDNF (50 ng/ml) respectively, the fluorescent intensity increased obviously (from 69.115?5.038 to 77.225?5.131) which suggested that BDNF with the concentration of 50 ng/ml led the increase of the fluorescent intensity. Glycine (2.5 mg/ml) and arginine(30 mg/ml) didn't affect the fluorescent intensity of mitochondria, and taurine (6.25 mg/ml) caused the appreciable decrease of the fluorescent intensity. Conclusion FA, BDNF and vitamin E may promote the metabolism of retinal nerve cells via the path of mitochondria, while amino acids may adjust the activation of retinal nerve cells through other ways.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of chromosome kayotypes and the relationship between the prognosis and chromosome karyotypes in subtypes of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).Methods The study retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of chromosome karyotype of initially diagnosed 151 MDS patients and investigated the rate and time of leukemia transformation and mortality,IPSS score,and compare the ethnic differences of Han and Uyghurs.Results Abnormal karyotype detection rate was 55.0 ％ (83/151),including simple abnormalities was 53.0 ％ (44/83),complex abnormalities was 47.0％ (39/83).h showed that common abnormal karyotype include-5/5q-,-7/7q-,+8,-20/20q-,-X/-Y,i(17q),9p-/9q-,+21.IPSS score had differences among subtypes (x2 =117.802,P ＜ 0.01).The detection rates of abnormal chromosome had significantly differences between each group,the abnormal karyotype detection rate in high-risk group was significantly higher than those in low risk group and moderate group(P ＜ 0.05).Followup 31 months (5-68 months) and found that the rates of leukemia transformation and mortality were 25.2 ％ (38/151) and 43.7 ％ (66/151),the rates of leukemia transformation and mortality in abnormal karyotype group were significantly higher than those in normal karyotype group (P ＜ 0.05).The median survival time in abnormal karyotype was shorter than that in normal one.The distribution of Han and Uyghur patients with MDS subtypes,the characteristics of abnormal karyotype,the rates of leukemia transformation and the rates of mortality had no statistical difference (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Abnormal chromosome karyotype is important index for disease progression and prognosis of MDS patients.

Objective To discuss the relationship betwee n chromosome abnormalities and disease progress and prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Methods The karyotype of 56 patients with CLL were analyzed, and combined probe was applied to do fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) detection. Results Conventional cytogenetics detection found abnormal karyotype in 26 cases (46.4 %), by comparing the median overall survival (OS), the normal karyotype group (>31.9 months) and abnormal group (24.0 months) had statistically difference (χ2=6.60, P<0.05). FISH detected genetic abnormality in 38 cases (67.9 %), whose abnormal detection rate was significantly higher than the conventional chromosome group (χ2=9.874, P<0.01), RB1 was 33.9%(19/56), D13S25 was 46.4%(26/56), ATM was 16.1%(9/56), p53 was 12.5 % (7/56). 21 cases involved 1 kind of genetic abnormality, 12 cases involved 2 kinds of genetic abnormalities, 4 cases involved 3 kinds of genetic abnormalities, 1 case involved 4 kinds of genetic abnormalities. According to the modified installment Rai, involving genetic abnormality species distribution in the low risk and high risk group had statistically difference (χ2 = 11.77, P< 0.05). The median OS of D13S25, RB1 normal and abnormal patients had no difference (P>0.05), the OS of patients with p53 or ATM gene abnormality was significantly shorter than that of normal patients. Compared with the patients without genetic abnormality and with 1, 2 or 3 kinds of gene abnormalities, the patients with 4 kinds of gene abnormalities had minimum median OS. According to the modified installment Rai, the OS rate of low and intermediate risk group was higher than that of low risk group (χ2= 10.61, P< 0.05). According to the modified installment Binet stage,the OS rate of stage C was lower than that of stage B (χ2= 6.60, P< 0.05). Conclusion The prognosis of CLL patients in same risk group is very strong heterogeneity, cytogenetics changes and biological indicator are the important prognostic factors of CLL.

Objective To compare the effects of tracheal intubation (TI) and laryngeal mask (LM) during general anesthesia (GA) induction on the α 1-band of quantitative pharmaco-electroencephalography (QPEEG).Methods Fortypatients undergoing GA were randomly divided into two groups:group T included 20 patients who received TI and group L included 20 who received a LM.Parameters like heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),and QPEEG were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0),after induction (T1),and after intubating the cannula or LM (T2).Using power-spectrum analysis,we calculated the power percentage of the α 1-band of QPEEG.Results The HR,MAP,and power percentage of the α 1-band in most areas of the brain were lower at T1 than at T0 (P ＜ 0.05) in both groups.Moreover,the HR,MAP,and α 1-band power percentage were higher at T2 than at T1 (P ＜ 0.05) in group T,whereas they showed no significant change at T2 (P ＞ 0.05) in group L.Conclusion TI is stronger than LM for stimulating the circulatory system.Moreover,TI may cause an increase in the power percentage of the α 1-band of QPEEG.This finding suggests that the α1-band power percentage of QPEEG can be an effective means of monitoring stimulation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and stroke etiology classification in patients with acute isolated penetrating artery territory infarction.Methods:Patients with first-ever acute isolated penetrating artery territory infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2017 to May 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. According to the Chinese Ischemic Stroke Subclassification (CISS) system, they were divided into large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and perforating artery disease (PAD). According to the distribution of infarcts, they were divided into lenticulostriate artery (LSA) territory infarction and paramedian pontine artery (PPA) territory infarction. The demographics, vascular risk factors, baseline clinical data, WMHs location, and Fazekas Scale scores were documented. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent influencing factors of stroke etiology classification. Results:A total of 440 patients with acute isolated penetrating artery territory infarction were enrolled, including 120 (27.3%) in the LAA group, and 320 (72.7%) in the PAD group; 213 (48.4%) with LSA territory infarction, and 227 (51.6%) with PPA territory infarction. The proportion of patients with total Fazekas score 3-6 and periventricular WMHs (PWMHs) score 2-3 in the PAD group was significantly higher than those in the LAA group (all P<0.05). In patients with LSA territory infarction, the proportion of the patients with hypertension, WMHs total Fazekas score 3-6 and PWMHs score 2-3 in PAD subgroup was significantly higher than those in the LAA subgroup, while the proportion of the patients with hyperlipidemia was significantly lower than that in LAA subgroup (all P<0.05). In patients with PPA territory infarction, the levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and homocysteine in the PAD subgroup were significantly lower than those in the LAA subgroup. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PWMHs score 2-3 was an independent correlation factor of PAD (odds ratio [ OR] 2.220, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.085-4.541; P=0.029). In patients with LSA territory infarction, hyperlipidemia was independently correlated with LAA ( OR 0.432, 95% CI 0.192-0.972; P=0.042), and PWMHs score 2-3 was independently correlated with PAD ( OR 3.846, 95% CI 1.193-12.397; P=0.024). In patients with PPA territory infarction, higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 0.660, 95% CI 0.494-0.883; P=0.005), homocysteine ( OR 0.958, 95% CI 0.930-0.987; P=0.005) and C-reactive protein ( OR 0.987, 95% CI 0.977-0.997; P=0.008) were independently correlated with LAA. Conclusions:WMHs are common in patients with acute isolated perforating territory infarction caused by LAA and PAD, and more severe PWMHs suggest that PAD is more likely to be the cause of the acute isolated perforating territory infarction, especially in patients with LSA territory infarction.

This article reported a case of a male patient with primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT) caused by an ectopic parathyroid adenoma in the anterior superior mediastinal. Hospital routine examinations indicated hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, type 2 diabetes with nephropathy, chronic kidney disease in stage Ⅳ, elevated PTH, hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, clinically highly suspected hyperparathyroidism. There was no obvious abnormality of parathyroid ultrasound, while 18F-FDG systemic metabolic imaging and 99mTc-MIBI dual-phase parathyroid imaging suggested that an ectopic parathyroid gland in the anterior superior mediastinal which was hyperactive. Evaluations of anterior pituitary function, pancreas, and endocrine-related hormones showed no obvious abnormalities, and thus we ruled out the possibility of multiple endocrine adenomas, combined with the patient′s symptoms and previous medical history, and ruled out the possibility of tertiary hyperparathyroidism, the patient was diagnosed as PHPT caused by the anterior superior mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma. To restore the blood calcium to normal, the patient was treated with intravenous rehydration, diuresis, calcitonin to promote urinary calcium excretion, and zoledronic acid to inhibit bone resorption. Further thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection was performed, and the diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma was confirmed by pathology. All the indicators were normal and no recurrence of hyperparathyroidism was found during the follow-up. Integration of the patient′s clinical manifestations, biochemical indicators, and imaging examinations are necessary to diagnose PHPT qualitatively and location-specifically. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is the possibilities of ectopic adenoma and multiple endocrine adenomas, to reduce the rates of missed diagnosis and recurrence.

Objective The incidence of alcoholic fatty liver increases year by year in recent years .The aim of this study was to establish an animal model of AFL to investigate the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis . Methods This study involved 40 male Japa-nese rabbits aged (17.01 ±1.54) d and weighing 1.00-1.52 kg, which were equally randomized to an experimental group and a control group.The animals in the former group received lavage of 10 mL of 50%ethanol twice a day, with normal feedstuff and water, while those in the control group received normal feedstuff and water only .We performed ultrasonography for dynamic liver presentation before and at 12, 16, and 20 weeks after feeding, followed by pathological observation of the livers . Results After 12 weeks of eth-anol garage , fatty liver was observed in 18 of the rabbits and it deteriorated with the prolonged time of administration . The body weight was significantly decreased in the experimental rabbits as com-pared with the controls at 16 weeks ([2.48 ±0.30] vs [2.78 ± 0.15] kg, P<0.05) and 20 weeks ([2.61 ±0.44] vs [3.10 ± 0.13] kg, P<0.05).Ultrasound and pathological grading showed 1 mild, 3 moderate, and 13 severe cases of fatty liver in the experimen-tal group, but none in the control , and pathological examination re-
vealed similar results (1 mild, 4 moderate, and 12 severe cases of fatty liver) in the former group.At 20 weeks, alcoholic fatty liver was found mainly in the S3-S4 stage. Conclusion Alcoholic fatty liver models could be successfully established in rabbits by etha-nol garage and ultrasonography is useful for monitoring the development and progression of the condition .

Objective To compare the effects of different doses of sufentanil on theα1?band of quantitative pharmaco?electroencephalography (QPEEG)during the induction of general anesthesia by tracheal intubation(TI). Methods Forty selected patients under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups,with 20 patients per group. Patients in group Ⅰ were administered 0.2μg/kg sufentanil,whereas patients in group Ⅱ were administered 0.3μg/kg sufentanil. Subsequently,the patients were administered 2 mg/kg propofol and 0.15 mg/kg cisatracurium. HR,MAP,and QPEEG were recorded before induction(T0),after induction(T1),and after insertion of the cannula(T2). Using the method of power spectrum analysis,theα1?band power percentage of QPEEG was calculated. Results In comparison with T0,the values of HR,MAP,andα1?band power percentage in most areas of the brain were both decreased at T1(P<0.05). Furthermore,in comparison with T1,the parameters were increased in group Ⅰ at T2(P<0.05),but no significant changes were observed in group Ⅱ (P>0.05). Conclusion The administration of 0.3μg/kg sufentanil during anesthesia induction can effectively depress the cardiovascular response to TI and stabilize theα1?band power per?centage. This suggests that theα1?band power percentage of QPEEG can be an effective means to monitor the depth of sedation.
