Objective:To discuss the influence of bifid triple viable enteric-coated capsules on liver function and inflammatory fac-tor in the patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ( NASH) . Methods:Totally 70 cases of patients with NASH were selected and di-vided into the control group and the observation group at random. The patients in the two groups were all given routine hepatoprotective therapy. The patients in the observation group were additionally given 420mg bifid triple viable enteric-coated capsules, three times a day for 4 weeks. Except for bifid triple viable enteric-coated capsules, the patients in the control group were given the same medical treatment as that in the observation group. The changes of liver function index, serum high sensitivity C reaction protein ( hs-CRP) , IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the two groups before and after the medical treatment were observed and the security was compared. Results:After the 4-week medical treatment, ALT, GGT, serum hs-CRP, IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the two groups were obviously declined than those before the treatment (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the declining rate in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Totally 6 and 4 cases of adverse drug reaction (ADR) respectively appeared in the observation group and the control group during the medical treatment with mild symptom, and the difference was without statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Bifid triple viable enteric-coated capsules in the treatment of NASH can obviously reduce the serum hs-CRP, IL-6 and IL-8 levels, inhibit the intrahepatic inflammation and immunologic injury, and improve the liver function index with high security.

Objective:
To determine the relationship between dengue virus load and clinical characteristics, so as to provide basis for dengue fever prevention and treatment.
Methods :
The dengue viral load and typing of 120 patients in Gongshu District of Hangzhou from June to November 2017 were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR;the clinical indicators of these dengue patients were collected and their correlation with the viral load was analyzed.
Results:
The DNA detection of dengue virus in 120 patients showed that they were all typeⅡ. The median dengue virus load was 3.91×104 copies/mL. All the patients had fever, the average peak temperature was(38.96 ± 0.69)℃. There were 102(85.00%)cases with asthenia;116(96.67%)cases with white blood cell count(WBC)less than 4× 109/L;119(99.17%)cases with platelet count(PLT)less than 100×109/L;114(95.00%)cases with glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase(GOT)more than 40 U/L;81(67.50%)cases with glutamic pyruvate transaminase(GPT)more than 52 U/L;58(48.33%)cases with creatine kinase(CK)more than 210 U/L. There was no significant correlation of dengue virus load with length of hospitalization, peak temperature,duration of fever, WBC,PLT, GOT, GPT and CK(P>0.05). There were 75(62.50%)severe patients, and their median viral load was 9.29×104copies/mL, which was higher than 5.33×103copies/mL in non-severe patients(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The dengue virus load is not related with length of hospitalization,peak temperature,WBC,PLT,GOT,GPT and CK,but with the severity of the disease.

OBJECTIVETo study the association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T mutation and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels with hyperlipidemia.
METHODSBlood samples were collected from 1591 adults for detecting MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), plasma Hcy levels with enzymatic cycling method, and blood lipid levels as well. The patients were divided according to the lipid levels into hyperlipidemia group (n=694) and healthy control group (n=897) and the differences in MTHFR gene C677T polymorphisms and plasma Hcy levels were compared.
RESULTSThe hyperlipidemia group and healthy control group showed no significant differences in CC, CT, or TT genotype frequencies or C and T allele frequencies of MTHFR C677T gene, and had comparable plasma Hcy levels (P>0.05). Patients with 3 different MTHFR C677T genotypes had significant differences in plasma Hcy levels (P<0.01) but not in blood lipid levels (P>0.05). Pairwise comparison indicated a significantly higher plasma Hcy level in TT genotype than in CC and CT genotypes (P<0.01), and the latter two genotypes showed no significant difference (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONMTHFR C677T polymorphisms and plasma Hcy levels are closely related but neither of them is associated with hyperlipidemia. The TT genotype is associated with a significantly higher plasma Hcy level than CC and CT genotypes.

Clostridioides difficile is a key pathogen of antibiotic related diarrhea and hospital associated infection, causing several outbreaks in Europe and North Americans and resulting in severe disease burden. However, the standardized diagnostic principle and detection specifications in C. difficile infection (CDI) survey are limited in China, and the infection rate and disease burden of CDI in China are unclear. Therefore, National Institute for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention,National Institute for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, together with another 11 institutions, draft the group standard entitled "Diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (T/CPMA 008-2020)" of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association. Based on the principle of "legality, scientificity, advancement, and feasibility", this standard clarifies risk factors, diagnosis principles, diagnoses and differential diagnoses in order to improve the accuracy of CDI diagnosis in clinical practice, guide the surveillance for CDI, and understand the infection rate and disease burden of CDI in China .

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors of troublemaking behaviors among patients with mental disorders induced by amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), and to provide references for the formulation of relevant intervention measures for ATS-induced mental disorders. MethodsA total of 105 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for ATS-induced mental disorders were included, and classified into troublemaking group and non-troublemaking group. The general demographic data and clinical data of the selected individuals were collected, and all patients were assessed using Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Then univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to screen the related factors of troublemaking behaviors. ResultsThe scores of SSRS, objective support dimension and social support utilization dimension were significantly lower in troublemaking group than those in non-troublemaking group, with statistical differences [(24.10±6.59) vs. (28.94±5.59), t=3.364, P=0.001; (5.50±1.96) vs. (8.20±2.13), t=5.183, P<0.01; (4.60±2.26) vs. (6.28±1.90), t=3.435, P=0.001]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=6.061, P=0.014) was a risk factor, while high social support level (OR=0.873, P=0.018) was the protective factor for troublemaking behaviors among patients with ATS-induced mental disorders. ConclusionPatients with ATS-induced mental disorders of the males and with low social support level are at high risk of troublemaking behaviors.
