Objective To compare the accuracy of Marsh model and Schnider model for propofol target?controlled infusion ( TCI) system. Methods Eighty patients, aged 20-60 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ⅠorⅡ, with body mass index of 17?5-28?0 kg∕m2 , scheduled for e?lective gynecological operation under general anesthesia, were equally and randomly divided into either Marsh model group ( group M) or Schnider model group ( group S) using a random number table. The target plasma concentration was set at 3 μg∕ml in both groups. During TCI and at different time points after the end of TCI, the blood samples were collected for determination of blood propofol concentrations by high per?formance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. The difference between measured and predicted concentrations (△C) at each time point was calculated. The median performance error ( MDPE) , median absolute performance error ( MDAPE) , and wobble of propofol TCI system were calculated in each group. Results In M and S groups, the MDPE was 9. 90% and 14?00%, respectively; the MDAPE was 11?43% and 14?49%, respectively;the wobble was 7?77% and 7?79%, respectively. There was no sig?nificant difference in △C at each time point during TCI between group M and group S (P>0?05). After TCI was stopped, △C at each time point was significantly lower in group M than in group S ( P<0?05) . Conclusion Marsh model provides higher accuracy than Schnider model for propofol TCI system in the pa?tients undergoing gynecological operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperacute intensive antihypertensive treatment on the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia region. Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,100 patients with intracerebral hematoma in basal ganglia region (onset ≤3 h)at the Neurological Intensive Care Unit,the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were enrolled prospectively. They all randomly received the intensive antihypertensive or standard antihypertensive treatment voluntarily. They were divided into either an intensive antihypertensive group or a standard antihypertensive group according to the random number table (n = 50 in each group). Within 1 h after beginning to treatment,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 130 -140 mmHg in the intensive antihypertensive group,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 160 -180 mmHg in the standard antihypertensive group,and the target systolic blood pressure was maintained respectively in the following 7 d. Head CT was performed gain at 24 h after treatment. The intracranial hematoma expansion was evaluated. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)and the modified Rankin scale (mRS)were used to
evaluate their prognoses. The differences of the cumulative mortality in both groups were compared at the same time. Results The incidences of hematoma expansion of the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 12. 0% (6/ 50)and 30. 0% (15/ 50)respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 4. 882,P = 0. 027). There were no significant differences in NIHSS scores within or between both groups at each time points (all P > 0. 05). They were followed up for 90 d,no adverse events occurred in both groups. The favorable prognosis rates of the neurological function were 36. 0% (18 / 50)and 18. 0% (9 / 50)respectively in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0. 411,P =0. 043). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the cumulative mortality at 24 h,within 7 d and 90 d in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 4. 0% (2 / 50),6. 0%(3 / 50),and 10. 0% (5 / 50),respectively,those of the standard antihypertensive group were 10. 0%(5 / 50),24. 0%(12 / 50),and 30. 0%(15 / 50),respectively. The results of Log-rank test found that there was significant difference in cumulative mortality between the 2 groups (χ2 =6.280,P =0.012). Conclusions The intensive antihypertensive treatment in the hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage is safe and feasible in basal ganglia region. It contributes to improve prognosis of neurological function,and reduce the incidence of hematoma expansion and the 90 d cumulative mortality.

Objective Observing the effect of Shuganyishen formula on hormone-dependant metastatic breast cancer and the mechanisms of anti-resistance and endocrine therapy. Methods 226 ITT cases were divided into two cohorts by treatment. 126 cases were treated with the combination of Shuganyishen formula and standard western medicine including endocrine therapy, and 100 cases were treated with western medicine alone. The end points were time to progress (TTP) and overall survival and quality of life (QOF). The effect of Shuganyishen formula on growth of TAM-resistance cell line in vitro was observed. Results There were statistical significances of median TTP between combination and western medicine in Luminal A (ER+ /PR+, HER2-) as well as Luminal B (ER+/PR+, HER2+), but no significances of OS; The extent and incidence of hot flush, sweat and syndromes related to bone were decreased significantly in combination treated group. Shuganyishen formula could reverse resistance to TAM. Conclusion Patients with LuminalA and LuminalB metastatic breast cancer benefit from Shuganyishen formula, which maybe related with its reverse resistance to endocrine therapy.

This paper presents a 3mm fracture model of radial bone of rabbits using operation method. The bone defect was treated with collagen sponge with different pH and different content. After the operation, the body temperature, blood routine measurement, serum antibody, X-ray examination and histological observation in each group were examined to evaluate and study the curative effect and safety of collagen sponge. Collagen sponge had a good result of safety, but there was slightly change in blood routine, serum antibody, and histological observation, etc, with the pH changing and different content of collagen. The results showed that there was no obvious influence of safety to tissues after treatment of the collagen sponge at different pH implanted into bone defect. Collagen sponge at lower pH could promote the healing of bone defect partly, while the safety of collagen sponge with lower content was better.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the DNA polymorphism of Sporothrix schenckii (S. schenckii) and to find the relationship between DNA patterns and geographic areas and clinical manifestations.

METHODThe total DNA was extracted with hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide. Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay was used to study DNA typing of 24 strains of S. schenckii collected from different areas and isolated from different clinical types.

RESULTSOf seven random primers used, three primers (OPAA11, OPD18 and OPB07) gave good reactions, the sequences of which were 5'-ACCCGACCTG-3', 5'-GAGAGCCAAC-3', 5'-GGTGAC~GCAG-3' respectively. The RAPD patterns of the 24 isolates were not completely identical, showing certain degrees of hereditary variability. Different isolates showed a common conserved DNA band with the same primer. Different clinical types showed different genotypes.

CONCLUSIONRAPD analysis is useful in DNA typing of S. schenckii, the DNA band type of which is related to geographic origin and Clinical manifestation.

Objective: To study the mutation of ENG, ACVRL1, and SMAD4 genes in one of a family of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and explore its molecular pathogenesis. Methods: A family spectrum of a patient with a clinical diagnosis of HHT was surveyed. Peripheral blood samples from proband and their eldest were collected, and ENG, ACVRL1 and SMAD4 gene analysis was performed by chip capture high-throughput sequencing. The mutation detected was verified by Sanger. Results: 9 of the 71 family members were diagnosed with HHT with the main manifestation of recurrent nasal bleeding. Genetic analysis showed that the proband and the eldest son of ENG gene exon 9 frameshift mutation: c.1502-1503insGG (p.Gly501GlyfsX18) , and mutations in ACVRL1 and SMAD4 genes were not detected. Conclusion The frameshift mutation c.1502-1503insGG (p.Gly501GlyfsX18) of the ENG gene is the genetic basis for the pathogenesis of this HHT family.

Objective? To evaluate the effects of the "hospital-community-family" linked continuing care model dominated by nurses on the complication and self-care ability of patients receiving percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD). Methods? Totally 108 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice treated in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from May 2016 to March 2018 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into two groups according to the random number table. Patients in the treatment group (n=54) received the "hospital-community-family" linked continuing care, while patients in the control group (n=54) received conventional health education before discharge. The incidence rate of complications and patients' self-care ability 3 months post discharge were evaluated in the two groups. Results? The incidence rates of biliary tract infection, PTCD catheter obstruction or pullaway, wound infection and pipeline related hospitalization in the treatment group 3 months post discharge were 18.52%, 1.85%, 1.85% and 11.11% respectively, lower than those of the control group, 40.74%, 12.96%, 11.11% and 27.78% (χ2=8.000, 5.290, 4.182, 7.289; P＜0.05). The total score of self-care ability of the treatment group 3 months post discharge was (135.09±7.08), higher than that of the control group, which was (104.72±5.33), (t=25.174,P＜0.01). Conclusions? The "hospital-community-family" linked continuing care model dominated by nurses can reduce the incidence rate of catheter-associated complications after discharge in PTCD patients and enhance their self-care ability.

Synechocystis sp.PCC 6803(hereafter:Synechocystis)is a model organism for studying photosynthesis,energy metabolism,and environmental stress.Although known as the first fully sequenced phototrophic organism,Synechocystis still has almost half of its proteome without func-tional annotations.In this study,by using co-fractionation coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS),we define 291 multi-protein complexes,encompassing 24,092 protein-protein interactions(PPIs)among 2062 distinct gene products.This information not only reveals the roles of photosynthesis in metabolism,cell motility,DNA repair,cell division,and other physiological processes,but also shows how protein functions vary from bacteria to higher plants due to changes in interaction partners.It also allows us to uncover the functions of hypothetical proteins,such as S110445,S110446,and S110447 involved in photosynthesis and cell motility,and Sill 334 involved in regulation of fatty acid biogenesis.Here we present the most exten-sive PPI data for Synechocystis so far,which provide critical insights into fundamental molecular mechanisms in cyanobacteria.

AIM: To provide reference for clinical application of warfarin PPK/PD model, the prediction accuracy of warfarin PPK/PD model and 6 dose models established by multiple linear regression were compared. METHODS: Clinical data of inpatients who took warfarin tablets for oral anticoagulant therapy in our hospital were collected, and the predictive values were simulated by PPK/PD model and other 6 models, respectively. SPSS 23.0 software was used for paired t-test of measured value and predicted value. MAE and percentage of prediction deviation were used to evaluate the results, and the prediction deviation box-plot was drawn to compare the total data, different dose groups and different genotypes. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. Among 7 models, only PPK/PD model, Wen et al., and Du Liping et al.'s model had no statistical difference in predicted values and measured values (P>0.05). The prediction accuracy of PPK/PD model was higher among the total data, low and medium doses, and patients with different genotypes.The prediction accuracy of Wen et al. 's model and Li Chuanbao et al.'s model was higher in the high-dose group. CONCLUSION: The PPK/PD model of warfarin has good clinical prediction performance, which is expected to provide reference for accurate administration of warfarin.

Objective:To explore the medical costs and influencing factors of patients diagnosed with Brucellosis in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang).Methods:Information on demographics, medical visits, and costs of patients diagnosed with Brucellosis were collected between January 1,2017 and December 31,2019. The effects of different genders, age groups, clinical stages, and comorbidities on patients' health care utilization and medical costs were analyzed by nonparametric tests. The median was used to describe the outpatient and inpatient costs of patients with Brucellosis.Results:A total of 13 532 patients (8 113 outpatient and 5 419 inpatient cases) were included in the analysis. A total of 67.8% (9 176/13 532) were male, with an average age of (42.7±15.4 ) years; age between 18-44 years (46.6%, 6 304/13 532) and 45-59 years (34.2%,4 622/13 532) were the dominant groups. The mean age of inpatients [(43.3±15.7) years] was higher than that of outpatients [(42.3±15.1) years, Z=-3.85, P<0.001]. When hospitalized patients are treated,systemic symptoms were common with fever (36.9%, 1 997/5 419) and fatigue (36.6%, 1 983/5 419), and with joint/muscle pain (68.9%, 3 735/5 419) being the highest proportion of local symptoms. A total of 79.1% (4 289/5 419) of inpatients were diagnosed with acute Brucellosis. A total of 46.5% (2 519/5 419) of inpatients had complications;skeletal system complications ranked the highest. The average number of outpatient visits per outpatient was (1.6±1.4) times. The duration of hospitalization was (11.3±4.2) days, with longer days for patients in the chronic phase and with complications ( P<0.05). A total of 89.3% (4 840/5 419) of inpatients had outpatient records in the same year,and the average number of outpatient visits per patient was (3.6±2.6) times. Outpatient medical costs were dominated by laboratory and drug costs (75.1%), and inpatient costs were dominated by drug, laboratory, and other costs (74.4%). Outpatient medical expenses M( Q1, Q3) were 61(52, 497) Yuan, 61 (51, 346) Yuan and 58 (46, 318) Yuan,respectively. Inpatients' medical expenses M ( Q1, Q3) were 8 214 (6 355, 10 721) Yuan,9 095 (7 018, 12 155) Yuan and 9 492 (7 530, 12 351) Yuan, respectively. For patients, age, clinical stages,complications,and joint/muscle pain symptoms were influential factors for hospitalization costs ( P<0.001). Conclusions:The economic burden was higher for inpatients, especially those in the high age group, with chronic phases and skeletal and neurological complications. Improving patients' awareness of early treatment, standardized treatment, and reducing chronicity and complications are the main points in reducing the economic burden caused by Brucellosis diagnosis and treatment.
