Objective:To investigate the multilocus sequence typing feature of the virulence-associated genes of Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) separated from the clinical specimens of a multi-center cohort children in Guangzhou area. Methods:A total number of 412 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from 2 059 non-repeated fecal specimens of children by three groups′ researchers in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from August 2018 to November 2018. While collecting specimens, patient clinical information is also properly collected and preserved. After extracting the DNA of the strain, the virulence-associated genes were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including the staphylococcal enterotoxin (SE) genes ( sea, seb, sec, sed, see) and the Panton-Valentine leucocidin-encoding gene ( pvl).The multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) method was performed to reveal the MLST feature of these genes and the statistical difference were examined by the the χ 2 test. Results:Among the 412 isolates of S. aureus, 256 strains (256/412, 62.1%) contains at least one SE gene. Among the enterotoxin gens, the sec (125/412, 30.3%), seb(98/412, 23.8%)and sea (66/412, 16.0%)genes were the three most prevalent members of SEs. The frequency of pvl gene in Staphylococcus aureus was 18.7%(77/412).Among them, the frequency of Staphylococcus aureus sea gene isolated from patients with gastroenteritis (58/319, 18.2%) was significantly higher than that from the non-gastroenteritis group (8/93, 8.6%)(χ2=4.912, P=0.027). The frequency of Staphylococcus aureus pvl gene isolated from the patients with pneumonia (8/21, 38.1%) was greater than that from the non-pneumonia group (6/47, 12.8%)(χ2=4.252, P=0.039). In addition, the virulence-associated gene of S. aureus was closely related to the specific ST type, 82.4% (28/34) of ST6 carried sea gene, all ST338 and ST59 carried seb gene, 96% (48/50) ST45 carried sec gene, and the pvl gene carrying rate of ST338 was 5/5. Conclusions:The SEA toxin produced by ST6 Staphylococcus aureus may be closely related to the diagnosis of gastroenteritis in children. The frequency of pvl virulence gene in Staphylococcus aureus in children with community-acquired pneumonia was higher than that in the non-pneumonia group, and closely related to the CC59.

Perifoveal exudative vascular anomalous complex (PEVAC) are class of diseases characterized by isolated aneurysmal lesions of the perifovea with hemorrhage and hard exudates, which are found in recent years. Its pathogenesis and pathological process are not yet fully elucidated. The current consensus through multimodal imaging studies is that PEVAC is an idiopathic perifoveal retinal vascular abnormality with cystoid macular edema (CME) and hard exudate. It is not easily distinguished clinically from retinal microaneurysm due to diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion, aneurysmal telangiectasia, and type 3 macular neovascularization (stage Ⅰ). PEVAC is a partially self-healing property, and some aneurysms and CME may resolve on their own during follow-up period. Laser photocoagulation is an effective measure for the treatment of PEVAC. In the future, with the rapid development of imaging technology, the progress of research on pathogenesis and treatment strategies and the updating of theories are expected to provide more effective treatments for PEVAC.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of uveal effusion observed in primary glaucoma and explore the relevant factors.Methods:In this case control study, 692 primary glaucoma patients in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from July 2016 to July 2017 were recruited, including 256 acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG) patients, 368 chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) patients, and 68 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) was performed to determine the presence of uveal effusion, and to grade the effusion.The incidence of uveal effusion and the degree of effusion were analyzed statistically.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University.Results:The incidence levels of uveal effusion in the remission stage of APACG, the pre-clinical stage of APACG, and the progress stage of CPACG were 20.45% (54/264), 3.76% (8/213) and 1.45% (8/548), respectively; the incidence of uveal effusion among the three groups was statistically significant ( χ2=105.02, P<0.05). The incidence levels of uveal effusion in the pre-clinical stage of APACG and the progress stage of CPACG were obviously lower than that in the remission stage of APACG ( χ2=29.07, χ2=91.15; both at P<0.01). In the remission stage of APACG, the initial intraocular pressure was higher, and intraocular pressure fluctuation was larger in the patients with uveal effusion than that in the patients without uveal effusion, and these differences were statistically significant ( Z=-3.626, Z=-4.022; both at P<0.05). Uveal effusion was detected in 54 eyes of the 50 APACG patients in the remission stage, including Grade 3 in 16 eyes, Grade 2 in 12 eyes, and Grade 1 in 26 eyes.Uveal effusion was demostrated in eight eyes of eight patients in the preclinical stage of APACG, and all at Grade 1.In the progress stage of CPACG, uveal effusion was also revealed in eight eyes of eight patients, all at Grade 1.In the remission stage of APACG, the degree of effusion was positively correlated with the initial intraocular pressure and the fluctuation of intraocular pressure ( r s=0.912, r s=0.923; both at P<0.01). However, the degree of effusion was inversely associated with intraocular pressure after treatment ( r s=-0.269, P<0.05). Conclusions:Uveal effusion can be observed in the remission and preclinical stages of APACG, and in the progress stage of CPACG.The remission stage of APACG shows both the highest rate and the severest degree of this complication.The degree of effusion is positively correlated with the initial intraocular pressure and the decrease in intraocular pressure, but it is inversely associated with intraocular pressure after treatment.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Qingre-Jiedu formula combined with negative pressure drainage for hand trauma infection. Methods A total of 108 patients with hand trauma infection were randomly divided into 2 groups, 54 cases in each group. The observation group were given Qingre-Jiedu formula combined with vacuum sealing drainage treatment, and the control group only received the treatment of vacuum sealing drainage. After 14 days' treatment, the score of wound secretion and granulation tissue were recorded, and ELISA method was used to detect IL-6, TNF-α detected by immune measure method, and the wound healing and healing time were recorded after treatment. Results After treatment, the secretion score (1.6 ± 0.4 vs.2.2 ± 0.4,t=4.659), granulation tissue score (1.7 ± 0.2 vs.2.2 ± 0.3, t=4.541) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01); the serum IL-6 (64.89 ± 2.31 μg/L vs.72.18 ±3.02 μg/L,t=9.562),TNF-α(318.67 ±15.21 μg/L vs.397.49 ±17.63 μg/L,t=15.611)were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The wound healing rate of the observation group was 96.3% (52/54), and control group was 55.6% (30/54), where there was significant difference between two groups (χ 2=24.518,P<0.01); the wound healing time in observation group (15.2 ± 3.0 d vs.25.2 ± 4.7 d, t=11.551) was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions The Qingre-Jiedu formula combined with negative pressure drainage for hand trauma infection could promote wound healing, improve healing effect and reduce the level of inflammatory reaction..

Objective:To investigate the effects of hemophagocytic syndrome also known as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) on the clinical features and therapeutic efficacy of patients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive T-cell lymphoma (EBV-TCL).Methods:The clinical data of patients with EBV-TCL diagnosed by pathological examination in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from November 2015 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they were accompanied with HLH at the time of onset, patients were divided into HLH group (10 cases) and non-HLH group (13 cases), and the clinical features and prognosis of the two groups were compared. The curative effects of different treatment methods and patients with different plasma EBV-DNA titers were compared.Results:Among 23 patients, 3 cases (13.0%) were in Ann Arbor stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, 20 cases (87.0%) were in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ; the International Prognostic Index (IPI) score was 1 point in 3 cases (13.0%), 2 points in 4 cases (17.4%), 3 points in 8 cases (34.8%), 4 points in 8 cases (34.8%). In the HLH group, there were 2 cases of aggressive NK-cell leukemia and 3 cases of childhood systemic EBV-TCL. There were no cases of above two pathological types in the non-HLH group. In the HLH group, the proportions of patients with fever, bone marrow invasion, IPI score > 2 points, and EBV-DNA > 10 4 copies/ml were higher than those in the non-HLH group (all P < 0.05). The objective response rate (complete remission plus partial remission) of all patients after chemotherapy was 47.8% (11/23); there were 3 cases undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in both the HLH group and the non-HLH group, and all achieved objective remission. The objective remission of 7 patients and 10 patients who did not undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the HLH group and non-HLH group after lymphoma chemotherapy had 0 case and 5 cases, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.044). In the chemotherapy alone group, 5 of 17 patients had objective remission, 6 patients in the chemotherapy plus transplantation group had objective remission, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.039). Among 16 patients whose plasma EBV-DNA titers turned negative, 11 patients had objective remission, and 7 patients whose plasma EBV-DNA titers were continuously positive had no objective remission, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.001). The 1-year overall survival rate of all patients was 69.3%, and the 2-year overall survival rate was 52.0%. In the HLH group, the 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates of 7 patients receiving chemotherapy alone and 3 patients receiving chemotherapy plus transplantation were 42.9% and 66.7%, respectively. In the non-HLH group, the 1-year overall survival rates of 10 patients receiving chemotherapy alone and 3 patients receiving chemotherapy plus transplantation were 80.0% and 100.0%, respectively; the 2-year overall survival rates were 26.7% and 100.0%,respectively. The overall survival of patients receiving chemotherapy plus transplantation was better than that of those receiving chemotherapy alone in both the HLH group and the non-HLH group, and differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The general clinical stage of patients with EBV-TCL is later, and the prognosis of EBV-TCL patients with HLH is worse. The therapeutic efficacy may be related to plasma EBV-DNA titers. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can improve the remission rate.
