Objective To analyze the results of sputum culture from smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis cases after treatment for 2 months.Methods Sputum specimens from newly diagnosed 147 smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis cases after treatment for 2 months were fast cultured by BacT/ALERT 3D.Poeitive cultures were further detected by HAIN test in Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and prevention and compared with L-J meditun.Results Mycobacteria were found in 45 specimens by Bact/ALERT 3D in contrast to 22 by Lonswtein-Jenson method.The median time was 19.3 days for the whole Bact/ALERT 3D test while the whole procedure would cost 3 months for traditional L-J test.Conclusion Results from sputum smear could not reflect tuberculosis progress properly while BacT/ALERT 3D fast culture would help to find drug resistant patients promptly and accurately.

To determine the effect of straight-leg-raising (SLR) movement on epidural fibrosis after laminectomy, 40 adult New Zealand rabbits were selected as laminectomy models in the study. They were divided into 2 groups: a SLR group (group S) and a control group (group C) randomly, with each group having 20 animals. All rabbits were subjected to total laminectomy in the site of S1. Every 5 rabbits in each group selected randomly were killed at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 8th week after the surgery. Segments of spines from L7 to S2 were removed en bloc. After gross evaluation, specimens were sliced up. The slices were stained by HE and Masson's trichrome methods respectively for histological examination. Our results showed that formation process of scar in group S was retarded as compared with that of group C at the time of the 2nd-week, but there was no statistical difference between groups in the adhesion degree (P> or =0.05). At the 4th and 8th week, the epidural fibrosis of group S was more serious than that of group C. Since the 2nd-week, the area of scar in group S was larger than that of group C. The number of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells in group S were larger than those of group C at early stage. But in later stage, there was no statistical significance between the two groups. It is concluded that SLR movement after laminectomy may promote the formation of epidural fibrosis and retard the maturity of scar. SLR movement can also aggravate scar adhesion.

Astract:Objective To assess the anatomical and functional significance of the bladder and urethra in female SUI by dynamic MRI and urodynamic. Methods The clinical data were retrospectively analysed on 60 cases of female stress urinary incontinence from Feb 2011 to Nov 2013. All the women received pelvic floor dynamic MRI and Urodynamic study. Measured the urethral angle,the distance of the H line, M line and the descent of the bladder,cervical,anorectal junction from the PCL in the mid-sagittal dynamic MR image of the pelvic. Pearson 's correlation coefficient was used to examine the association among the distance of the H line,M line and the urethral angle,the descent of the bladder,cervical,anorectal junction from the PCL and the Urodynamic data. Results The distance of the H line,M line were significantly and positively associated with urethral angle and the descent of the bladder,cervical,anorectal junction from the PCL. The distance of the H line,M line were significantly and negatively associated with functional profile length, maximum urethral closure pressure,VLPP and detrusor opening pressure. Conclusion Pelvic floor dynamic MRI combined with Urodynamic study is useful for assessing the anatomical and func-tional significance of the bladder and urethra in female SUI.

Objective To evaluate three molecular methods for rapid identification of nontuberculous Mycobacterium(NTM).Methods Forty-one clinical NTM isolates were collected and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used as the standard method for NTM identification.Meanwhile,the restriction fragment length polymorphism of hsp65 PCR-RFLP and hsp65 gene sequencing were used to identify NTM strains and compared with 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Results The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that there were nine Mycobacterium chelonae complex strains,seven Mycobacteriumfortuitum strains,seven Mycobacterium intracellulare strains,three Mycobacterium avium strains,three Mycobacterium kansasii complex strains, three Mycobacterium smegmatis strains, three Mycobacterium terrae strains, two Mycobacterium phlei strains,two Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum strains,one Mycobacterium scrofulaceum strain and one Mycobacterium arupense strain.Compared with 16S rRNA gene sequencing,hsp65 PCR-RFLP could identify nine Mycobacterium chelonae complexes and three Mycobacterium kansasii complexes to subspecies Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium kansasii,respectively; One Mycobacterium fortuitum strain and one Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum strain were different from 16S rRNA gene sequencing results ,but other isolates were the same.The coincidence was 95.1%.By hsp65 gene sequencing,only one identification of Mycobacterium hiberniae strain was different from 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the coincidence was 97.6%.And hsp65 gene sequencing could further identify nine Mycobacterium chelonae complexes and three Mycobacterium kansasii complexes to subspecies Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium kansasii,respectively.Conclusions All three molecular methods can identify NTM strains rapidly.Compared with 16S rRNA gene sequencing,hsp65 gene sequencing and hsp65 PCR-RFLP are easier to identify clinical common NTM strains(such as Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium abscessus),and can be widely used in clinical practice.

Objective To identify non-tuberculous Mycobacterium(NTM) rapidly with HAIN molecular assay genotype Mycobacterium kit,and investigate the advantages and disadvantages of this method.Methods Seventy-four clinical NTM isolates were collected from hospitals in Zhejiang and Anhui province.Clinical strains were identified with HAIN molecular assay genotype Mycobacterium kit.16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to estimate and compare with this method.Results The results of kit showed that there were thirty-one M.intracellulare strains,twelve M.chelonae strains,eight M.fortuitum strains,six M.kansasii strains,five M.avium strains,three M.smegmatis strains,two M.phlei strains,two M.scrofulaceum strains and one M.gordon strain.Four strains were identified as Mycobacterium without further identification.Eight M.tuberculosis strains were identified correctly too.Compared with 16S rRNA gene sequencing,except for four strains identified as Mycobacterium,others 70 strains got the same results as 16S rRNA gene sequencing,the coincidence was 94.59％,and it could further identify thirteen Mycobacterium chelonae complex and eight Mycobacterium kansasii complex to subspecies M.abscessus and M.kansasii,respectively.If only to identify strains under the identification range of this kit,the coincidence reach to 100％,Conclusion The method of HAIN molecular assay genotype Mycobacterium kit is simple and accurate,the time is shorter and should widely be applied clinically.

Objective To investigate the mental health states of health system staffs in a district of Chongqing municipality. Methods Seven hundred and seventy-three health system staffs were taken as the research subjects for conducting the investigation by the Symptoms Checklist-90 (SCL-90).With the total SCL-90 score >160 as the positive psychological symptom,the total mean scores of SCL-90 and the 9 items of factor score of somatization,obsession,personal relations,depression,anxiety,hostility,dread, paranoid and psychotics were performed the statistical analysis.Results The positive rate of psychological symptoms in 773 health system staffs was 17.46% (135/773),among them which in the clinical nurses,clinicians and nonclinical staffs were 23.20%(58/250),15.63%(50/320)and 13.30%(27/203)respectively.The somatization and obsession scores of the health system staffs in this district were obviously higher than those of the national norm (P <0.05),while their personal relations and paranoid scores were obviously lower than those of the national norm(P <0.01).The paranoid scores of the staffs in the district health units were higher than those of the staffs worked in town health units(P <0.05),and other 8 items of factor score and the total mean scores were significantly higher than those in the town health unit staffs (P <0.01).The scores of obsession,depression,anxiety,hostility and the total mean scores of the clinical nurses were significantly higher than those of the clinicians (P <0.01),while scores of so-matization,personal relations,paranoid and psychotics had no significant differences between them(P > 0.05).The total mean scores of the clinical nurses were higher than those of the non-clinical staffs(P <0.05).Conclusion The scores of multiple factors had significant differences between the health system staffs in this district and the national norm.The psychological health status in the clinicians was poorer than that in the non-clinical staffs,especially the psychological health status in the clinical nurses were much poorer.

Objective:To analyze the research status and discuss hot topics and development trends of studies on clinical nutrition in congenital heart disease (CHD) at home and abroad, so as to provide reference for Chinese researchers.Method:Studies on clinical nutrition in CHD were retrieved from the databases of CNKI and Web of Science, from the founding of database until 2020. CiteSpace 5.6.R5 was used for visual analysis of authors, countries, institutions, research hotspots and frontiers.Results:A total of 163 Chinese and 1,809 English publications were included. The number of literatures published at home and abroad shows an overall trend of growth. The United States has the largest number of publications, with China in seventh place. Domestic publishing institutions are mainly hospitals, led by Nanjing Children's Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. Foreign publications are mainly by university institutions, with Harvard University in the United States ranking first. Research teams led by authors including Gu Ying and Ravishankar C. are at the core in this field. The most discussed issues in China are mainly nutritional risk, nutritional support and nutrient research. The main target populations are ICU patients, premature infants, infants and children, etc. The forefront of research includes early enteral nutrition, prognosis and feeding intolerance. In foreign countries, studies mainly focus on epidemiology, nutritional support, malnutrition, risk factors, nutritional treatment, energy metabolism, obesity, clinical outcomes, etc. Main target population is special population, such as neonates with CHD, infants, children, patients after heart transplantation, etc. cohort studies and researches on overweight are at the frontier.Conclusions:The research on nutrition in CHD has attracted more and more attention. There are some differences in research content and hot topics between domestic and foreign studies. Therefore, we should strengthen the cooperation and exchanges among institutions, combine the advantages of CHD nutrition research in China, and strengthen the epidemiological study of CHD nutrition and the nutrition management of CHD key population, so as to further promote research development in this field.
