This paper develops an application and appraisal system for new technologies and projects based on No.1 Military Medical Project. With this system, all application and appraisal work can be performed through network so that the appraisal efficiency is raised and the traditional management of scientific research is infused new energy.

Objective To analyze the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of neurosyphilis. Methods Clinical data on and laboratory findings in 18 cases with neurosyphilis collected in the Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Anhui Medical University from 2006 to 2008 were retrospectively studied.Results Among the 18 patients, 3 sufferred from asymptomatic neurosyphilis, 1 from meningeal syphilis, 7 from meningovascular syphilis, 5 from paralytic dementia, and 2 from intracranial space-occupation. Toluidine red unheated serum reagin test (TRUST) and Treponema pallidum particle agglutination test (TPPA) of sera were positive in all the patients; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TRUST was positive in 16 patients, and CSF TPPA in all patients. An increase was observed in CSF leukocyte count in 7 patients and in CSF protein in 13 patients.The findings on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mainly included demyelination, brain atrophy,cerebral infarction, etc. All the patients, except 2 with a TRUST titer of 1:4, experienced a 4-fold decrease in TRUST titer within a 3-month follow up. Clinical symptoms of neurosyphilis improved in all patients except 1 with paralytic dementia. Conclusions The diversity of clinical manifestations usually leads to the misdiagnosis of neurosyphilis, which should be diagnosed based on comprehensive analysis of clinical characteristics as well as laboratory and imaging findings. Early diagnosis and treatment are beneficial to its prognosis.

Objective To understand the current status of receiving no methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and influencing factors in HIV infected injecting drug users (IDUs) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefectures,Yunnan province.Methods Data of survival of IDUs with AIDS in Dehong were collected from "Chinese National Comprehensive HIV/AIDS and Care Information System" in December,2014.Results There were 987 IDUs who should receive MMT,the majority of them were males (94.6％,934/987),aged 35-44 years (53.0％,523/987) and farmers (77.2％,762/987).Among the 987 IDUs,60.2％ (592/987) received no MMT.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being female (OR=2.66,95％CI:1.21-5.87),in Jingpo ethnic group (OR=3.05,95％CI:1.97-4.71) were the major risk factors for receiving no MMT;not being farmers (OR=0.46,95％CI:0.31-0.70),in Dai ethnic group (OR=0.53,95％CI:0.36-0.79),diagnosed HIV infection history ≥ 10 years (OR=0.60,95％CI:0.45-0.81) were the major protective factors for receiving no MMT.The reasons for receiving no MMT included long distance journey (289,48.8％),fear of exposure (124,20.9％),poor daily medication compliance (59,10.0％),fear of side effects (47,7.9％),others (73,12.3％).Conclusions The proportion of receiving no MMT in IDUs with AIDS in Dehong was high.Being female and farmer,in Jingpo ethnic group,low educational level,short diagnosed HIV infection history were influencing factors for receiving no MMT.The effective intervention measures should be taken to further improve MMT coverage according to the different characteristics of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index in sepsis patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A prospective case-control study was conducted, the patients admitted to ICU of Jiangbei People's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from December 2016 to June 2020 were enrolled. According to the criteria of Sepsis 3, 107 patients diagnosed with sepsis were classified as the sepsis group, 112 patients without infection were classified as control group. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected within 24 hours after ICU admission, neutrophil CD64 index, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell count (WBC) were detected. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index, CRP, PCT and WBC for sepsis.Results:The neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT in sepsis group were significantly higher than those in control group [neutrophil CD64 index: 9.03±5.59 vs. 3.18±1.50, CRP (mg/L): 146.9±68.3 vs. 46.5±35.8, PCT (ng/L): 31.82±14.71 vs. 1.87±1.42, all P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT had certain diagnostic value for sepsis, the area under ROC curve (AUC) were 0.924, 0.915 and 0.879, respectively, the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were 0.871-0.978, 0.855-0.975, 0.807-0.951, respectively, P values were 0.016, 0.017 and 0.026, respectively. Among the three indicators, the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index was much higher. When the optimal cut-off value was 4.32, the sensitivity and specificity were 83.6% and 88.7%, respectively, which were higher than the sensitivity (75.1%, 76.3%) and specificity (87.2%, 82.5%) of CRP and PCT. Conclusion:Neutrophil CD64 index is a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis in ICU.
