BackgroundDomestic researches on the professional identity of psychiatrists are still relatively rare up to now, and effective evaluation tools remain inadequate. ObjectiveTo construct a professional identity questionnaire for psychiatrists with high reliability and validity, so as to provide an effective tool for the evaluation of professional identity of psychiatrists. MethodsA self-designed questionnaire titled "Professional Identity Questionnaire" was compiled. After preliminary screening of items and expert consultation, an initial questionnaire was formed and administered to a sample of 400 psychiatrists, and the final questionnaire was assessed by item analysis, reliability analysis and validity analysis. ResultsThe Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.930 for the final questionnaire, and ranged from 0.817 to 0.920 for each dimension. The value of KMO was 0.904 (χ2=2 931.652, P<0.01). The cumulative variance contribution rate of factors extracted from exploratory factor analysis was 68.306%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the integrity of fit indexes were χ2/df=1.234, GFI=0.905, NFI=0.916, RMSEA=0.036, CFI=0.983, IFI=0.983. The final version of the professional identity questionnaire for psychiatrists consisted of 23 items relating to 4 dimensions, namely, professional cognition, professional behavior, professional emotion and professional values. ConclusionThe professional identity questionnaire for psychiatrists has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an effective tool to evaluate the professional identity of psychiatrists.

Objective To indentify Streptobacillus moniliformis isolated from the knee joint pus by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and biochemical reactions and explore the clinical value of the method. Methods The bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence-based identification, bacterial morphology, VITEK 2 automate systems, API 20NE strips, API 20E strips and API 50CH were performed to identify the rare bacteria. Results The bacteria grew slow on blood agar and chocolate agar and were inhibited on Maconkey agar. The bacterial colony on blood agar tookes the form of 1~2 mmomelette, which was translucent and moist with circular protrusion and smooth edges. They were Gram-staining negative and in catenation, its thalli 1~3μm, round, oval or fusiform. Vitek 2 GN-13, API 20NE and API 20E were unable to reach the identification of the bacteria. 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed the bacteria were similar to streptobacillus moniliformis by 100%. Conclusion The rare bacteria isolated from left knee joint are streptobacillus moniliformis. 16S rRNA gene sequences combined with the biochemical reactions is accurate in the identification of these bacteria.

Objectives To identify the Francisella strain isolated from blood of a patient with drowning-associated pneumonia.Methods The whole genome of the strain,designated Wenzhou1,was sequenced using the high throughput sequencing technology by 2000/miSeq system of Illumina platform,and the obtained genome draft was assembled by MicrobeTrakr Plus software.The phylogenetic neighbors of Wenzhou1 were obtained by NCBI BLAST analysis from GenBank database for the gene sequences of 16S rRNA,malate dehydrogenase(mdh),DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta (rpoB) and succinate dehydrogenase subunit alpha (sdhA).The average nucleotide identity(ANI) between Wenzhou1 and its phylogenetic neighbors was analyzed by the software OrthoANI using NCBI BLAST search under the Java Runtime Environment Version 8.Results The genome size of Wenzhou1 was 1.96 × 106 bp,containing 74 contigs.The genomic G + C mol% of Wenzhou1 was 32.1%,which was similar to the other species of genus Francisella and Allofranicella.Based on the analysis of NCBI BLAST of GenBank for the similarities of 16S rRNA gene,mdh gene,rpoB gene and sdbA gene sequences,Wenzhou1 was most closely related to F.hispaniensis FSC454 and Francisella cf.novicida 3523.The ANI of Wenzhou1 was 97.8% to F.hispaniensis FSC454,97.5% to 97.6% to Francisella cf.novicida 3523,but only 91.3% to 91.5% to the four subspecies of F.tularensis.Conclusion ANI analysis based on whole genome sequence should be an accurate,effective method for bacterial identification.Wenzhou1 could be identified as F.hispaniensis by ANI with high-throughput whole genome sequencing technology.

Objective:
Establishing the mass spectrum library of a new Campylobacter- " C.fetus subsp.testudinum" for rapid species identification in clinical microbiology laboratory.
Methods:
Illumina second generation sequencing platform 2000/miSeq was used to carry out high flux genome sequencing for the strains which were collected to establish mass spectrum library.The analysis oforthologous average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI) between collected strains and reference strains was performed at JAVA 8 operation environment. Then, the mass spectrums ofcollected strains andreference strains were acquired using MALDI-TOF MS. And the mass spectrum library of C. fetus subsp.testudinum. were established and verified.
Results:
The OrthoANI analysis showed that the OrthoANI value of the collected strains and the reference strain C. fetus subsp.testudinum03-427 was 99.30%-99.96%, while the OrthoANI values of collected strains and C. fetus subsp.venerealisNCTC10354 orC.fetus subsp.fetus82-40 were 91.05%-92.26%. With reference to OrthoANI ≥ 95% as the basis for the determination of the same strain, the strains which collected to establish mass spectrum library was finally identified as " C. fetus subsp.testudinum" . The identification accuracy rate of the mass spectrum library was 100% (consistent with gene sequencing), and the confidence interval was 82.3%-99.9%, identification of the same strain is 100% reproducible.
Conclusions
The new" gold standard" based on high throughput sequencing and total genome analysis has provided the ideal reference value for the establishment of mass spectrum library.And the accurate and objective reference spectrum of the" C.fetus subsp.testudinum" provides a new platform for the rapid diagnosis of fetal Campylobacter infection.

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the efficacy of closed reduction on the humeroradial joint in the treatment of Bado type Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ fresh Monteggia fractures in children and investigate the effect of clinical factors, including Bado classification, age and time of treatment on the success rate of closed reduction.
METHODS:
We retrospectively studied the data of children ≤10 years old with fresh Monteggia fractures (injury within two weeks) treated by manual reduction with plaster immobilization from January 2014 to April 2019. All patients were followed up in the outpatient department every two weeks for 4-6 weeks until plaster removal and then 3, 6 and 12 months. Online or telephone interview was provided for some inconvenient patients after 6 months. Mackay criteria were used to evaluate the clinical effect. Radiographic data were collected and reviewed to assess the reduction of the humeroradial joint. Function of the elbow joint and forearm was evaluated and risk factors related to the failure of reduction were assessed. The successful manual reduction was analyzed from three aspects, respectively Bado fracture type (Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ), patient age (<3 year, 3-6 years, >6 years) and time interval from injury to treatment (group A, <1 day; group B, 1-3 days; group C, >3 days).
RESULTS:
Altogether 88 patients were employed in this study, including 58 males (65.9%) and 30 females (34.1%) aged from 1 to 10 years. There were 29 cases (33.0%) of Bado type Ⅰ Monteggia fractures, 16 (18.2%) type Ⅱ and 43 (48.7%) type Ⅲ. Successful manual reduction was achieved in 79 children (89.8%) at the last follow-up. The failed 9 patients received open surgery. Mackay criteria showed 100% good-excellent rate for all the patients. The success rate of manual reduction was 89.7%, 87.5% and 90.7% in Bado type Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ cases, respectively, revealing no significant differences among different Bado types (χ = 0.131, p = 0.937). Successful closed reduction was achieved in 13 toddlers (13/13, 100%), 38 preschool children (28/42, 90.5%) and 28 school-age children (28/33, 84.8%), suggesting no significant difference either (χ = 2.375, p = 0.305). However time interval from injury to treatment showed that patients treated within 3 days had a much higher rate of successful manual reduction: 67 cases (67/71, 94.4%) in group A, 10 cases (10/11, 90.9%) in group B, and 2 cases (2/6, 33.3%) in group C (χ = 22.464, p < 0.001). Fisher's test further showed significant differences between groups A and C (p = 0.001) and groups B and C (p = 0.028).
CONCLUSION
Closed reduction is a safe and effective method for treating fresh Monteggia fractures in children. The reduction should be conducted as soon as possible once the diagnosis has been made.
