Objective To analyses the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)findings of different clinical patterns of neurosyphilis(NS).Methods Clinical records and MRI of 26 patients with NS were retrospectively studied.Results Abnormal MRI was found in 17 patients of 26 patients with NS.In 7 patients were with meningo-vascular syphilis,the MRI commonly showed multiple cerebral ischemia focus and cerebral infarction focus,very few similar to those of encephalitis;Six patients had general paresis,who presented cerebral MRI abnormalities of frontal and temporal atrophy,and few simultaneously with cerebral ischemia focus,granular apendymitis and hippocampus sclerosis;Three patients had syphilitic myelitis,their MRI showed mild tumefaction with multiple ischemic focus all the way through lower cervical spinal cord to lower thoracic spinal cord:One patient was with tabes dorsalis,whose cerebral MRI showed ischemic locus.Another 9 patients had normal MRI,of whom 4 patients with meningitis NS and 5 with tabes dorsalis.Conclusion The MRI of neurosyphilis has diverse presentations,and clinicians should pay much attention to it.

Objective To investigate the protective and treatment role of ulinastatin(UTI)on con-trast-induced acute kidney injury(CIAKI)in the elderly with coronary heart disease(CHD)and chronic kidney diseases(CKD).Methods A total of 321 elderly CHD inpatients complicated with CKD undergoing coronary angiography admitted in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA Gen-eral Hospital from November 2021 to November 2022 were enrolled consecutively and then divid-ed into UTI group(n=161)and hydration group(n=160).Their cardiac and renal function pa-rameters were collected and analyzed before and 2 d after intervention.The changes in above pa-rameters and incidence of CIAK were observed and compared between the two groups.Results In 2 d after intervention,the UTI group had significantly lower Scr,urea,CysC,homocysteine and NT-proBNP,but higher eGFR than the hydration group(P＜0.01).There were 62 patients(62/321,19.3％)developing CIAKI,including 17 from the UTI group and 45 from the hydration group,and statistical difference was observed in the incidence(10.6％vs 28.1％,P＜0.01).For the patients with comorbidities of hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia,the incidence of CIAKI was obviously lower in the UTI group than the hydration group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that UTI was an independent protective factor for occurrence of CIAKI(OR=0.348,95％CI:0.180-0.673,P=0.001).Conclusion UTI can im-prove renal function and reduce the risk of CIAKI in elderly CHD patients with CKD.

Three female workers in a golf club production company in Guangzhou were diagnosed with occupational chronic mild benzene poisoning. Two of the female workers were assessed as Grade 7 disabilities. One female worker showed the symptoms of the decline of whole blood cells for unknown reasons in the later stages of the medical period. The final assessment was a Class 5 disability. The problems in this work ability appraisal include: the injury condition of the patient who has not been stable during the work ability appraisal, and the contradiction between the disability grade and the occupational disease diagnosis conclusion. In order to avoid similar situations, the following recommendations are recommended: after the worker's injury situation is relatively stable, the assessment will be conducted, the employer will actively exercise the right to review and appraisal, and the diagnosis of occupational diseases will be included in the evaluation criteria for disability grade.
