Objective The forensic application of Lefort aqua regia digestion method detecting diatom in rabbits’s organs. Methods Using the Lefort aqua regia digestion-membrane ifltrition-SEM observation method and the traditional acid digestion-centrifugation-light microscopy observation method to detect diatom of drowning or postmortem immersion rabbits’s organs(lung,liver,kidney), and make statistical analysis of diatom number, consuming time, digestive capability and ifne structure of diatoms. Results The diatom number of Lefort aqua regia digestion method was superior to conventional acid digestion method, with the difference being statistically signiifcant (P<0.05), as well as consuming time, but have undifferentiated of drowning grounp(P>0.05), and have a better observation effect. Conclusion The Lefort aqua regia digestion method for diatom extraction was helpful for diatom identiifcation., and useful in drowning test by conventional and economicly.

Objective To investigate the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LHR) and asymptomatic carotid plaques and their stability in high-risk stroke population.Methods Between December 2012 and April 2015,a total of 39 944 permanent resident population ≥40 years were used as subjects of the survey from 11 rural communities in Haitou Town,Banzhuang Town and Tashan Town,Ganyu District,and 9 urban communities in Xinpu District and Haizhou District,Lianyungang City using epidemiological survey method of cluster sampling.Excluding those who took lipid-lowering drugs within 3 months and had a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack,6 592 people at high risk of stroke were finally screened out.Ultrasound was used to detect carotid plaques.The subjects were divided into plaque-free group and plaque group.The latter was further divided into stable plaque group and unstable plaque group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the independent risk factor for carotid plaques and their stability.The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the prediction efficiency of LHR on carotid plaques.Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was an independent risk factor for carotid plaques,while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was an independent protection factor of carotid plaques.Using the lowest quintile (Q1) of LHR as a reference,carotid plaque risk increased significantly with the increasing LHR (Q2:OR 1.448,95% CI 1.082-1.937,P =0.013;Q3:OR 2.414,95% CI 1.754-3.322,P<0.001;Q4:OR 2.939,95% CI 1.945-4.441,P<0.001;Q5:OR 4.884,95% CI 3.143-7.115,P<0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of LHR predicting carotid plaques was 0.795 (95% CI 0.792-0.807;P< 0.001),and the optimal cut-off value was 3.00 (sensitivity 68.37%,specificity 75.65%).LHR ≥3.92 (LHR in the Q4 and Q5 subgroups) was an independent risk factor for unstable carotid plaques (OR 2.915,95% CI 2.104-4.040;P<0.001).The AUC of the LHR predicting unstable carotid plaques was 0.658 (95% CI 0.633-0.684;P<0.001).Conclusions LHR was an independent predictor of carotid plaques in high-risk stroke patients.It had higher predictive value for carotid plaques,and its conversion threshold for promoting plaque formation was 3.00.When LHR was ≥3.92,there was a significant increase in the risk of unstable carotid plaques.

OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of surgical history on chemotherapy -induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). METHODS A retrospective case -control study was adopted ,with 824 patients undergoing chemotherapy as the object . A total of 27 items were collected ,including demographic data ,medical history data ,pre-chemotherapy data ,and chemotherapy treatment status. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the history of surgery and the risk of CINV . The multiple models were constructed to correct potential confounding factors ,and subgroup analysis was performed on patients with surgical history . RESULTS The incidence of CINV was higher in patients with surgical history . The statistical result before adjustment was [OR=1.72,95%CI(1.31,2.28),P<0.001];after adjusting potential confounding factors ,the statistical result was [OR=1.78,95% CI(1.28,2.48),P=0.001]. In the subgroup analysis ,the time between surgery and chemotherapy was different , and the impact of surgical history on CINV was different ,and the results were statistically significant (P=0.027). The risk of CINV showed decreasing trend with the time ,and the results were statistically significant (P for trend ≤0.050). Compared with patients who had not undergone surgery ,patients who had undergone surgery within one year had a higher risk of CINV [OR= 2.33,95%CI(1.52,3.59),P<0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Patients with surgical history are more prone to CINV ,and the risk of CINV shows a downward trend in the length of time from surgery .
