Objective To explore the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin ,C‐reactive protein and white blood cell count in children with different diseases .Methods Retrospective analysis 94 cases of pathogenic infectious children from June 2013 to May 2014 in our hospital ,according to the results of pathogen detection was divided into bacterial infection 36 cases ,mycoplasma infec‐tion group 28 cases ,30 cases of viral infection ,detection and analysis serum PCT ,CRP and WBC levels .Results Bacterial infection group serum PCT ,CRP and WBC were (2 .41 ± 0 .94)ng/mL ,(47 .91 ± 18 .26)mg/L and (13 .18 ± 6 .03) × 109/L ,significantly higher than the mycoplasma infection and viral infection group (F=133 .4 ,F=60 .1 ,F=8 .5 ,P<0 .05);diagnosis of bacterial in‐fections ,PCT sensitivity and specificity were 92 .11% and 91 .05% ,positive and negative predictive value of 89 .84 % and 94 .01%were significantly higher than CPR and WBC ,Mycoplasma infection as the control group ,PCT ,CRP and WBC in the diagnosis of bacterial infections ,the area of under the ROC curves were 0 .816 ,0 .728 and 0 .614 ,respectively .Conclusion Serum PCT for the i‐dentification of bacterial infections has a high diagnostic value ,worth generalizing and applying .

Objective: To study the influences of Tiaozhixin(TZX) on NO/ET, 6 keto PGF 1a /TXB 2 and hemorrheology rats with hyperlipoidemia. Methods: The rat hyperlipoidemia and early atheroscleorsis models were established by feeding high lipid diet for 40 days. Meanwhile TZX was taken by oral administration at the dosages of 40、80g/kg. The levels of NO、ET 1、6 keto PGF 1a and TXB 2 in serum were determind, and the hemorrheology markers were observed. Results: TZX could raise the levels of NO in serumobviourly ET 1 level of the normal and model rats. The large dose of TZX could increase 6 keto PGF 1a content remarkably which benefits maintenance of the balances of 6 keto PGF 1a /TXB 2. It could lower the whole blood specific viscosity, whole blood reduction specific viscosity, plasma specific viscosity; aggregation index of RBC; shorten RBC electrophoresis time; also decrease fibrinogen content; inhibit the platelet aggregation of normal rats induced by ADP. Conclusion: TZX can improve the abnormal hemorrheology and recover the balance of TXB 2/6 keto PGF 1a and NO/ET of rats with hyperlipoidemia, which might be one of mechanisms of antiatherosclerosis action.

This study was conducted between November to December 2020, consisting of six representative cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen (with comprehensive smoke-free legislation), and Changsha, Chongqing, Shenyang (without comprehensive smoke-free legislation), 678 subjects were enrolled eventually, the mean age of the 678 subjects was (35.61±12.91)years old. Subjects from cities with comprehensive smoke-free legislation accounted for 49.71% of the total; male subjects accounted for 19.47%; meanwhile subjects from large, medium, and small restaurants accounted for 13.57% (92), 37.32% (253) and 49.11% (333) respectively. The analysis results indicate that the positive rate of restaurants staff of cotinine and 3′-hydroxynicotinine was lower in cities with comprehensive smoke-free legislation(34.12% vs 68.04%, χ2=78.01, P<0.001; 16.32% vs 41.94%, χ2=53.79, P<0.001), with staff from cities with comprehensive smoke-free legislation have lower concentrations of cotinine and 3′-hydroxynicotinine than their counterparts from cities without comprehensive smoke-free legislation(0.250 ng/ml vs 0.742 ng/ml, P<0.001; 0.250 ng/ml vs 0.250 ng/ml, P<0.001). No statistically significant difference in the concentration of cotinine and 3′-hydroxynicotinine in saliva between staff from restaurants of different sizes was detected ( P>0.05).

Objective To evaluate the neurological function of cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy by somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) and provide an objective basis for selecting the best operation occasion. Methods 60 patients with C6 and C7 radiculopathies were divided into 3 groups according to the results of SEP: normal group (n=22), mildly abnormal group (n=30) and severely abnormal group (n=8). All the patients underwent anterior cervical decompression and fusion. They were assessed with Neck Disability Index (NDI) before and after treatment. Results The postoperative NDI scores of all the groups improved significantly (P<0.001), especially in the normal group.Conclusion SEP, which can reflect the severity of cervicalspondylotic radiculopathy objectively and predict prognosis.
