Abstract: Objective To analyze a case of bloodstream infection caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum after abortion in Anxi County Hospital, so as to provide basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The diagnosis of Ureaplasma urealyticum in this patient with bloodstream infection was retrospectively analyzed. The basic clinical data and laboratory diagnosis data were collected, including the characteristics of blood culture curve, Wright staining of culture medium, drug sensitivity of Mycoplasma liquid identification, colony characteristics of solid medium, and the conclusion of targeted DNA sequencing. Through the comprehensive analysis of the above data, the rapid diagnosis of this case can be realized by optimizing the detection and diagnosis process. Results The clinical manifestations of this patient were fever of 38.5 ℃, CRP:14.85 mg/L, WBC:14.33×109/L, NET: 85.40%, PCT: 0.12 ng/mL, IL-6: 665.6 pg/mL, positive after 3 days of blood culture, no bacteria were found in Gram stain, and sand-like purple bacteria were observed after adding Wright's stain. After inoculation in blood agar, Mycoplasma solid and liquid medium, no colonies were grown in blood agar, after 48 h and 5 d. On Mycoplasma A7 agar, the edge of brown fried egg colony was striature, and it could be identified as Ureaplasma urealyticum with the Mycoplasma ID & AST panel, which was resistant to quinolones and spectinomycin, but sensitive to macrolides, tetracyclines and lincomycin. Subsequent targeted DNA sequencing results were also confirmed for Ureaplasma urealyticum. Before receiving the report, clinical experience treatment with ceftriaxone metronidazole was used to fight infection with negative bacilli and anaerobic bacteria. Mycoplasma was not treated with targeted treatment. After 3 days, the patient's body temperature returned to normal, inflammation index decreased, and the patient asked to be discharged. Conclusions At present, there are few reports of bloodstream infection caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum, and the lack of clinical understanding can easily lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. In order to improve the detection rate of Mycoplasma in blood culture, it is necessary to optimize the detection procedure of blood culture and provide accurate diagnosis and treatment basis for clinical practice. However, it is clear from this case that Mycoplasma bloodstream infection cases are self-limited infection and can recover by themselves without targeted treatment in patients with normal immunity. Therefore, it is very important to protect the immunity of patients.

AIMTo evaluate the joint action of phoxim and fenvalerate on the reproductive function in male Sprague-Dawley rats.
METHODSThe 2 x 2 factorial analysis experiment was used in the study. The pesticides were orally given at daily doses of phoxim (Pho) 8.2 mg/kg, fenvalerate (Fen) 3.3 mg/kg and Pho 8.2+Fen 3.3 mg/kg (Pho:Fen = 5:2), 5 days a week for 60 days. Sperm motility was measured with computer-assisted sperm motility analysis (CASA) and daily sperm production estimated. Immunoenzymatic method and electron microscopy were used to evaluate the serum testosterone and the testicular morphology, respectively.
RESULTSThere were significant decreases in sperm motility parameters in the treated animals, including straight line velocity (VSL), beat cross frequency (BCF), linearity (LIN) and straightness (STR). After treated with Fen, significant decreases in VSL, LIN and STR were demonstrated. Significant decreases of daily sperm production were seen in animals treated with Pho and Pho+Fen in comparison with the controls. Serum testosterone levels were not significantly changed in the treated groups. Factorial ANOVA showed that no significant interactions were noted between Pho and Fen in sperm motility, sperm production and serum testosterone. Both the single and mixed pesticides caused various degrees of testicular lesions, involving vacuolation of endoplasmic reticulum and necrosis of Sertoli cells.
CONCLUSIONThe pesticides may cause sperm motility changes and testicular lesions in male rats. The action of Pho and Fen may be additive.

Objective To investigate the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in evaluating the injury of corticospinal tract (CST), including the motor dysfunction and the integrity of CST, in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH), and explore the relation between DTI results and the recovery of myodynamia. Methods Clinical data of 10 healthy volunteers and 35 patients with HICH, admitted to our hospital and performed evacuation of hematoma from November 2006 to May 2009, were retrospectively analyzed; DTI by using a 3.0T MR canner were chosen on them and the imaging was analyzed by Functool software. The changes of directionality and integrity of SCT were analyzed on fractional anisorropic (FA) map, color-coded directional map, and three-dimensional white matter tractography. Myodynamic examination at Brunnstrom standard 2 months after rehabilitation nursing was performed in these patients. The correlation between the injured degree of CST and the recovery of myodynamia was analyzed. Results Fiber tractography derived from DTI was consistent with known white matter fiber anatomy in 10 healthy volunteers. Three patterns of corticospinal tract involvement were identified in 35 patients: the intact one in 11 patients (the ipsilateral corticospinal tract was almost the same as contralateral corticospinal tract), the partially damaged one in 18 patients (the ipsilateral corticospinal tract was less than 2/3 but larger than 1/3 contralateral corticospinal tract) and the almost completely damaged one in 6 patients (the ipsilateral corticospinal tract was less than 1/3 contralateral corticospinal tract). Different pattern had totally different clinical outcome and the intact one had a full recovery. The ipsilateral corticospinal tract showed significantly lower Brunnstrom scores of the upper extremities than the ipsilateral one (P<0.05); the Brunnstorm scores and the value of myodynamia among the 3 patterns were statistically different (P<0.05). The recovery of motor function was negatively correlated to the injured degree of CST (r=-0.931, P=0.000). Conclusion The DTI, offering the optimal visualization of white matter tracts can detect the injured degree of the corticospinal tracts and predicate the prognosis to some extent, thus, early evaluation of corticospinal tract injury based on DTI can provide predictive value for motor functional outcome in patients with HICH.

OBJECTIVEThis study was designed to examine the in vitro effects of fenvalerate on steroid production and steroidogenic enzymes mRNA expression level in rat granulosa cells.
METHODSUsing primary cultured rat granulosa cells (rGCs) as model, fenvalerate of various concentrations (0, 1, 5, 25, 125, 625 micromol/L) was added to the medium for 24 h. In some cases, optimal concentrations of 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol (25 micromol/L), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH, 2 mg/L), or 8-Bromo-cAMP (1 mmol/L) were provided. Concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol(E2) and progesterone (P4) in the medium from the same culture wells were measured by RIA and the steroidogenic enzyme mRNA level was quantified by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.
RESULTSFenvalerate decreased both P4 and E2 production in a dose-dependent manner while it could significantly stimulate rGCs proliferation. This inhibition was stronger in the presence of FSH. Furthermore, it could not be reversed by 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol or 8-Bromo-cAMP. RT-PCR revealed that fenvalerate had no significant effect on 3 beta-HSD, but could increase the P450scc mRNA level. In addition, 17 beta-HSD mRNA level was dramatically reduced with the increase of fenvalerate dose after 24 h treatment.
CONCLUSIONFenvalerate inhibits both P4 and E2 production in rGCs. These results support the view that fenvalerate is considered as a kind of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. The mechanism of its disruption may involve the effects on steroidogenesis signaling cascades and/or steroidogenic enzyme's activity.

Objective To explore the problems of microsurgical treatment of multiple intracranial aneurysms with regard to the indications,surgical timing,operative approaches and the prevention of complications, and improve their diagnoses and treatments. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of 33 patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms admitted to our hospital from Jan.2000 to Dec.2008 and their clinical manifestations,imaging features and microsurgical treatments were summarized. Results In the 33 cases of multiple intracranial aneurysms,the male-to-female sex ratio was 1:1.75 and the average age at onset of symptoms was 56.52.Twenty-four patients showed good postoperative prognosis(Glasgow Outcome Scale IV-V) with 2 deaths.Conclusion Individual treatment should be adopted in the treatment of differently localized multiple intracranial aneurysms with different sizes and clinical classifications,and the utilization of temporary blockade and ultrasound during the operation can improve the therapeutic effects and reduce the postoperative complication rates.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the determination of seminal acid phosphatase (ACP) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GT) activity, and analyze the correlation between seminal ACP or gamma-GT and semen parameters.
METHODSACP and gamma-GT activities in 133 samples of seminal plasma were measured. Two of the samples were randomly selected for intra-assay, one for the detection of ACP activity and the other for gamma-GT activity. And another four were selected the same way for the same purpose, two for the detection of ACP activity and the other two for gamma-GT activity. The semen volume, pH, sperm concentration, motility, and grade-a and -b motility were analyzed by CASA system and so were the correlation between seminal ACP or gamma-GT activity and semen parameters.
RESULTSThere was significant positive correlation between ACP and gamma-GT activities (r = 0.570, P = 0.000). The intra-CV of ACP was 13.72%, and inter-CVs of ACP were 13.80% and 15.49%. The intra-CV of gamma-GT was 7.68%, and inter-CVs of gamma-GT were 7.76% and 9.73%. Both seminal ACP and gamma-GT activities had significant negative correlation with pH (r = -0.330, P = 0.000 vs r = - 0. 388, P = 0.000). There was obvious correlation between gamma-GT activity and sperm concentration (r = 0.165, P = 0.045), but not between ACP activity and sperm concentration (r = 0.048, P = 0.546). Neither of seminal ACP and gamma-GT activity was correlated with sperm motility, grade-a and -b motility, semen volume, abstinence time and age.
CONCLUSIONThe precision of the measurement of gamma-GT activity in seminal plasma was higher than that of ACP. The correlation between seminal gamma-GT activity and semen parameters was similar to that between seminal ACP activity and semen parameters. Thus, the determination of gamma-GT activity was a more reliable marker than that of ACP activity for the evaluation of prostate function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate methods of promoting revascularization of tracheal transplantation to increase the length of graft.
METHODSTransfer recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-)C-bFGF and pCD(2)-VEGF(121) into rabbit cervical muscle by direct injection of plasmid following electric pulses in vivo. Use histochemistry and immunohistochemistry analysis of muscles injected to show the transferred gene expression and the biological effect. Based on the former experiment, conduct gene therapy to the rabbit tracheal autotransplantation wrapped by cervical combined muscles by injecting plasmid DNA directly, combined with gene sutures following electric pulses. Observe and analyze the effect on trachea viability.
RESULTSThe recombinant plasmid, pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-)C-bFGF and pCD(2)-VEGF(121) was transferred into muscles flap in vivo successfully. The active protein bFGF and VEGF(121) were expressed at high levels. Blood vessels increased significantly in the muscles, and blood circulation was improved by local angiogenesis. Ten rings tracheal autograft wrapped by transgenic muscles integrating with gene structure revascularized completely, and the rabbit survived for a long period of time. There was significant difference between gene therapy group and control group (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between bFGF gene therapy group and VEGF(121) gene therapy group. Almost rabbits in the control group died of graft necrosis.
CONCLUSIONTracheal grafts revascularization can be established early by the cervical combined muscles flap wrapping associated with single gene therapy. The length of the tracheal can be increased simultaneously.

This study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (r-ATG) combined with cyclosporine A (CsA) and to analyse the efficacy-related factors in children with aplastic anemia (AA). Twenty five AA children treated with r-ATG [3.5 mg/(kg·d)×5 days] combined with CsA were analyzed retrospectively. The lymphocyte subgroups, CD4(+)/CD8 ratio and expression of CD55, CD59 on surface of neutrophils and erythrocytes in peripheral blood were detected by direct immunofluorescence method and flow cytometry; the responsive time, effective rate, adverse effects and infections after immunosuppressive therapy (IST) were analyzed; the distribution of T-lymphocyte subgroups in IST-effective and IST-uneffective groups was compared, and therapeutic efficacy-related factors were evaluated. The results showed that the response to treatments was found in 21 out of 25 cases, the total responsive rate was 84.0%; the response time was 3 - 6 months, average of 4 months; the effective rates in month 3, 6, 9, 12 after treatment were 56.0%, 72.0%, 80.0% and 84.0% respectively. The AA children with age ≥ 5 years old, course of disease < 6 months and absolute neutrophil value ≥ 1.5 ×10(9)/L on 30 days after IST had good curative effect; the effective rate in AA children with age ≥ 5 years old, course of disease < 6 months, high or reverse ratio of CD4(+)/CD8(+) and absolute neutrophil value ≥ 1.5×10(9)/L after IST was higher than that in AA children with age < 5 years old, course of disease ≥ 6 months, normal ratio of CD4(+)/CD8(+) and absolute neutrophil value after IST < 1.5×10(9)/L (94.4% vs 57.1%, 90.4% vs 50.0%, 94.1% vs 62.5%, 94.1% vs 62.5%) (P < 0.05). The high effective rate was observed in AA children with decrease of CD55 and CD59 expression, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) as compared with normal expression of CD55, CD59. It is concluded that the treatment using r-ATG (3.5 mg/kg·d × 5 d) combined with CsA is a safe and effective for children with AA. Age, course of disease and absolute neutrophil value on 30 days after IST are the main factors affecting curative affect.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of hematoma complicated from ultrasound-guided minimally invasive surgery for benign breast masses.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in 412 patients with a total of 516 masses underwent the ultrasound-guided minimally invasive surgery for benign breast masses from January 2011 to December 2015 in Xiaoshan Hospital. Theχ2 test was used to univariately analyze risk factors of hematoma formation after ultrasound-guided minimally invasive surgery for benign breast masses. Logistic regression analysis was used to multivariately analyze risk factors of hematoma formation.Results All masses were resected completely, however, hematomas with long diameter≥1.0 cm were formed in 43 masses one week after surgery, and all hematomas were completely absorbed after six months. There were significant differences in the incidence of hematoma between the groups of different needle sizes, numbers of needle cutting, masses sizes, blood flow grades, depth, resection numbers and effective compression time of postoperative bandages (χ2=16.917, 14.548, 39.971, 23.333, 29.137, 36.819 and 39.864, respectively, allP<0.001). The needle sizes, the numbers of needle cutting, the masses sizes, blood flow grades, depth, resection numbers and the effective compression time constituted the risk factors of hematoma formation after the minimally invasive surgery.Conclusions The risk factors of the hematoma formation after ultrasound-guided minimally invasive surgery for benign breast masses included the different size of the needle, the number of different cutting needles, different size of the masses, the grade of blood flow, the number of resection and the different effective compression time of postoperative bandages. We could prevent the occurrence of hematoma in advance by screening patients and take corresponding measures.
