Objective To evaluate the pelvic floor function in post-hysterectomy patients. Methods Transperineal pelvic ultrasound was used to observe the pelvic organs in post- hysterectomy patients, and parameters of pelvic floor were measured. Taking the inferior margin of public symphysis as the reference plane,the shape and motion of the proximal urethra and bladder neck were observed at rest and on maximum Valsalva maneuver. Bladder neck-symphyseal distance(BSD) and retrovesical angle were measured. And the bladder neck descent(BND),urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck were also calculated. Interclass correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the consistency of data. Results At rest,the BSD and retrovesical angle were (-2.73±0.37)cm and (119.00±22.40)°, while on maximum Valsalva maneuver was (-0.25±0.67)cm and (114.74±21.50)°,respectively. BND was (2.46±0.59)cm,the urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck was (70.68±19.91)° and (60.81±17.34) °,respectively. Combined with pelvic ultrasound and clinical manifestations,29 cases of pelvic floor dysfunction after hysterectomy were diagnosed (58.00%, 5 cases of stress urinary incontinence, 8 cases of proctoptoma and 16 cases of bladder prolapse). The consistency was very high in measuring BNS, retrovesical angle at rest and on maximum Valsalva maneuver and BND by different observers. The interclass coefficient was 0.90,0.89,0.91,0.88,0.92,respectively. And the interclass coefficient of urethral rotation angle and the rotation angle of the bladder neck was 0.79, 0.88,respectively. These results showed a good interobserver agreement. Conclusion Transperineal pelvic ultrasound is a simple,reproducible and noninvasive imaging method, which can reveal the position and function of female pelvic organ dynamically and evaluate postoperative pelvic floor function.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of Danshen chuanxiongqin injection combined with flunari-zine hydrochloride in the benign prevention and treatment of paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and lower extremity deep ve-nous thrombosis (DVT) in post-operative long-term bedridden patients with lower limb fractures. METHODS:300 post-operative long-term bedridden patients with lower limb fractures were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 150 cases in each group. Control group was given Flunarizine hydrochloride capsules orally 10 mg,qd;observation group was additionally given Danshen chuanxiongqin injection 10 ml+5% Glucose injection 250 ml,ivgtt,qd. The incidence of BPPV and DVT were observed in 2 groups after intervention,and the circumference of lower limb,blood coagulation indexes, blood rheology indexes and inflammatory factor were observed before and after intervention,and the incidence of ADR was com-pared. RESULTS:The incidence of BPPV and DVT in observation group were 18.0% and 16.7%,which were significantly lower than in control group(48.7% and 52.7%),with statistical significance(P<0.05);after intervention,the circumference of lower limb,blood rheology indexes and the levels of inflammatory factors in 2 groups were decreased significantly, while the coagula-tion indicators were significantly improved;the observation group was better than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Danshen chuanxiongqin injection combined with flunarizine hydrochloride is effective in the prevention of BPPV and DVT in long-term bed-ridden patients with lower limb fractures,with low incidence of ADR.

AIM: To investigate the role of fluoxetine in the hippocampal synaptic plasticity in chronic unpre-dictable mild stress (CUMS) depression rats and its effect on mTOR and autophagy signaling pathways.METHODS:Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n =60) were randomly divided into normal control group, CUMS group and fluoxetine group. The CUMS rat model was established through CUMS combined with solitary raising, and fluoxetine (20 mg? kg -1? d -1 ) was administered via intragastric gavage.The changes of body weight, the ratio of sugar intake and the results of the behav-ioral test were recorded to identify the modeling.Moreover, the expression of synaptic plasticity-related proteins glial fibril-lary acidic protein (GFAP) and synaptophysin (SYP), apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and caspase-3, mTOR signaling proteins mTOR and 4EBP1, and autophagy-related proteins beclin 1 and LC3 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the body weight, sucrose intake, and total distance and intermediate residence time in the open field test were significantly decreased in CUMS group.The results of RT-PCR and Western blotting showed that the mRNA and protein levels of SYP and GFAP in CUMS group were significantly down-regulated compared with con-trol group.The expression of Bcl-2 in CUMS group was downregulated, while the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 in-creased.Decreased phosphorylation levels of mTOR and its downstream target molecule 4EBP1 were observed in CUMS group.Besides, the autophagy-related proteins beclin 1 and LC3 were significantly upregulated at mRNA and protein lev-els.All these results(upregulation or downregulation) were attenuated by the treatment with fluoxetine, and the difference was statistically significant.CONCLUSION: Fluoxetine might improve hippocampal synaptic plasticity and alleviate symp-toms of depression by supressing apoptosis/autophagy signaling pathways and upregulating mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of non-invasive bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilator combined with oxygen atomization in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with type Ⅱ respiratory failure.Methods:A total of 80 patients with COPD complicated with type Ⅱ respiratory failure admitted to Haiyan County People′s Hospital from June 2019 to July 2021 were selected, and they were divided into the observation group and the control group by the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. Patients in both groups received conventional treatment, while patients in the control group were connected with BiPAP non-invasive ventilator and received non-invasive mechanical ventilation in S/T mode; the observation group was given aerosol inhalation drugs during ventilation, and both groups were treated for 7 d. Blood gas indicators and vital signs were collected before treatment and 7 d after treatment. Clinical symptoms were investigated by COPD patient Caring Assessment Tool (CAT) and Dyspnea Scale (DECAF). Serum levels of interleukin (IL)-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and CD 4+/CD 8+ were determined, and treatment outcomes and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) and the oxygen saturation (SaO 2) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (73.41 ± 5.26) mmHg(1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (65.11 ± 4.33) mmHg, 0.921 ± 0.052 vs. 0.884 ± 0.039; the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) were lower than those in the control group: (45.20 ± 5.33) mmHg vs. (50.52 ± 5.96) mmHg, (90.12 ± 8.56) times/min vs. (98.52 ± 9.63) times/min, (17.41 ± 2.26) times/min vs. (22.10 ± 3.05) times/min, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, CAT scores and DECAF scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (8.45 ± 1.63) scores vs. (12.77 ± 2.36) scores, (0.89 ± 0.15) scores vs. (1.15 ± 0.19) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of IL-10 and CD 4+/CD 8+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (15.28 ± 3.12) ng/L vs. (13.41 ± 2.96) ng/L, 1.71 ± 0.38 vs. 1.54 ± 0.30; while the level of TNF-α was lower than that in the control group: (215.27 ± 33.96) ng/L vs. (251.11 ± 50.95) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The hospitalization time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group: (13.52 ± 3.96) d vs. (15.22 ± 2.74) d, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The rates of tracheal intubation and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Non-invasive BiPAP ventilator combined with oxygen atomization can improve blood gas index, vital signs and clinical symptoms of COPD patients complicated with type Ⅱ respiratory failure and reduce inflammatory response.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of the combined detection of galactomannan (Gm) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and IgG of aspergillus fumigatus in blood for pulmonary aspergillosis.Methods:Seventy-four patients with pulmonary aspergillosis admitted to Haiyan People′s Hospital from February 2017 to September 2019 were divided into chronic pulmonary aspergillosis group (35 cases) and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis group (39 cases). The BALF of ttwo groups were collected, the Gm level of BALF was tested, and the IgG level of blood aspergillus fumigatus was detected by using the aspergillus IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, and the positive prediction rate, negative prediction rate, diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the two methods was compared.Results:The Gm I value of BALF and the IgG level of blood in invasive pulmonary aspergillosis group were lower than those in chronic pulmonary aspergillosis group: 0.65 ± 0.09 vs. 0.98 ± 0.12, (118.95 ± 12.31) kAU/L vs. (147.63 ± 15.32) kAU/L, and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). The positive predictive rate and negative predictive rate in combined detection of detection of GMI and IgG in BALF and blood were significantly higher than those in the single detection of GMI and IgG in BLAF and blood: 92.50%(37/40) vs. 61.90%(26/42) and 61.54%(24/39), 88.24%(30/34) vs. 53.13%(17/32) and 51.43%(18/35), and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). There was a certain correlation between the severity of pulmonary aspergillosis and the Gm I value of BALF and the IgG level of blood aspergillus fumigatus. The sensitivity and accuracy of the diagnosis in combined detection of Gm I and IgG in BALF and blood were higher than those in the single detection of Gm I and IgG in BALF and blood: 92.86%(39/42) vs. 65.00%(26/40) and 67.57%(25/37), 83.78%(62/74) vs. 75.68%(56/74) and 75.68%(56/74), the diagnostic specificity was lower than that of the single detection of GM I and IgG in BALF and blood: 71.88%(23/32) vs. 88.24%(30/34) and 83.78%(31/37), and there were significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:There is a certain correlation between Gm in BALF and aspergillus fumigatus IgG in blood and the symptoms of pulmonary aspergillosis. The combined detection of Gm in BALF and aspergillus fumigatus IgG in blood is of great significance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary aspergillosis.

The number of H7N9 bird flu cases was high and the situation was grim in guizhou province in 2017. To understand the molecular characteristics of the hemagglutinin gene (HA) and the risk of human infection with avian influenza virus A(H7N9) in Guizhou Province, 2017. Homology, genetic evolution and pivotal sites related to receptor binding regions, pathogenicity and potential glycosylation of 14 avian influenza viruses A(H7N9) were analyzed by a series of bioinformation softwares. It was cleared that there was 95.9%-100% similarity among 14 strains in nucleotide of the HA gene, and there were 96.8%-97.8% and 96.8%-97.9% similarities with vaccine strains A/Shanghai/2/2013 and A/Anhui/1/2013 recommended by WHO, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 14 HA genes were directly evolved in the Yangtze River Delta evolution branch, but they could be derived from five diffenrent strains. Then 13 of 14 strains cleavage site sequences of HA protein revealed they were low pathogenic avian influenza viruses, while A/Guizhou-Weining/CSY01/2017 was high pathogenic avian influenza virus. Mutation G186V at the receptor binding sites in the HA was found in all 14 strains, and mutation Q226L in 13 strains besides A/Guizhou-Weining/CSY01/2017. All five potential glycosylation motifs in the HA were conservative.
