Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin (PCT) level combined with Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT) in elderly women with painful osteoporosis and its correlation with disease severity.Method:This study is a prospective study. From Jan. 2019 to Apr. 2020, 596 elderly women who underwent physical examination in our hospital were selected as the research subjects. All of them underwent dual-energy X-ray, PCT examination, and QCT examination serum. The diagnostic value of PCT and QCT in elderly women with painful osteoporosis was analyzed; Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the bone mineral density of lumbar vertebral 1, 2 vertebra, PCT and the severity of painful osteoporosis.Result:Among 596 elderly women, painful osteoporosis patients accounted for 50.84% (303/596) , bone mass reduction accounted for 21.98% (131/596) , and normal bone mass accounted for 27.18% (162/596) . Compared with the results of the diagnosis of painful osteoporosis by DAX, the diagnostic coincidence rates of PCT, QCT, QCT+PCT were 81.88% (488/596) , 93.62% (558/596) , and 97.31% (580/596) . QCT examination, QCT+PCT diagnosis coincidence rate is higher than PCT examination ( χ2=43.650, 83.187, P<0.05) ; QCT+PCT diagnosis coincidence rate is higher than QCT examination ( χ2=9.388, P=0.002) . The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of QCT+PCT in the diagnosis of abnormal bone mass are higher than those of PCT ( P<0.05) ; the specificity and negative predictive value of QCT+PCT in diagnosing abnormal bone mass are higher than QCT Check ( P<0.05) . The bone density detected by QCT in the osteopenia group and the painful osteoporosis group was lower than that in the normal bone mass group, and the serum PCT level was higher than that in the normal bone mass group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) ; the painful osteoporosis group was in QCT detection of bone. The density was lower than that of the osteopenia group, and the serum PCT level was higher than that of the osteopenia group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The severity of painful osteoporosis was negatively correlated with bone mineral density detected by QCT ( r=-0.54, P<0.05) , and positively correlated with serum PCT ( r=0.59, P<0.05) . Conclusion:QCT vertebral bone mineral density determination combined with serum PCT detection has high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the diagnosis of painful osteoporosis, and is closely related to the severity of painful osteoporosis, and can be used for clinical evaluation of the condition of painful osteoporosis patients.

Objective To find out the resistant situation and drug of Mycobacteria patients in Sichuan and offer foundation for clinical.Methods Two hundred randomized clinical isolates of Mycobacterium were determined by Roche drug sensitivity and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method.Results Of the 200 clinical isolates,192 stains were Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) (96.0%),8 strains (4.0%) were non-tuberculosis mycobacterium(NTM).Of the 192 MTB strains,108( 57.3% ) sensitive strains and 84 (43.7%)stains were resistant to one or more than one drugs.Among these 84 resistant strains 23 were multi-drug resistant ( MDR,12.0% ),4 were extensively drug resistant( XDR,2.1% ).The anti-TB drug resistance rates were:SM(16.7%),INH(20.8%),RFP(17.2%),EMB(10.9%),PI(16.1%),LFX(8.8%),AMK ( 16.7% ),CPM ( 6.2% ),PTA ( 33.3% ),respectively.Conclusion The resistance rate of tuberculosis keeps at a high level in Sichuan,especially the resistance rate of multiple (≥4) drug,we should oar attention.

Objective:To investigate the early predictive value of lupus anticoagulant (LA) ratio, D-dimer (D-D) and soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) on deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Methods:Thirty hundred and fifty patients who performed surgery for lower extremity fracture and suspected DVT in Zhejiang Rongjun Hospital from October 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled. With deep vein contrast of the lower extremity as the gold standard, 82 patients with confirmed DVT were treated as the observation group and 268 patients without DVT as the control group. The levels of LA, D-D and sEPCR of two groups were detected by coagulation, immunoturbidimetry and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay—sandwich technique respectively. Indexes of the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between plasma levels of LA, D-D and sEPCR, and the predictive value of plasma sEPCR, LA ratio and D-D level on DVT was evaluated by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The plasma sEPCR, LA ratio and D-D levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(143.30 ± 11.28) μg/L vs.(112.56 ± 14.62) μg/L, 1.51 ± 0.24 vs. 1.22 ± 0.18, (1 013.00 ± 319.54) μg/L vs. (425.17 ± 100.36) μg/L] with statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05). There was no significant differences in activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time (TT) between the two groups ( P > 0.05). In the observation group, plasma sEPCR level was positively correlated with LA ratio and D-D level ( r = 0.280, P = 0.011; r = 0.563, P < 0.001), and LA ratio was positively correlated with D-D level( r = 0.741, P < 0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of D-D in diagnosis of DVT was 0.940, and the sensitivity and specificity were 87.80% and 87.69% when the cut-off value was 569.43 μg/L. The AUC of LA ratio in the diagnosis of DVT was the smallest, which was 0.912, the sensitivity and specificity were 87.80% and 91.25% when the cut-off value was 1.23. The sensitivity was 95.12% and specificity was 95.00% of sEPCR and LA ratio combined with DD in diagnosis of DVT. Conclusions:LA and D-D combined with sEPCR has high predictive value for DVT.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of unstable ventilation pressure during nasal continuous positive airway pressure(NCPAP)treatment in neonates with hyaline membrane dis-ease(HMD)and construct a nomogram model.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 157 HMD neonates who underwent NCPAP treatment.The patients were divided into unstable group(n=49)and stable group(n=108)based on the occurrence of unstable ventilation pressure during treatment.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors of unstable ventilation pressure during NCPAP treatment in HMD neonates.A nomogram model was constructed using R software,and its predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,calibration curves,and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test.Results Unstable venti-lation pressure occurred in 49 HMD neonates during NCPAP treatment,with an incidence rate of 31.21%(49/157).Univariate analysis showed that unstable ventilation pressure during NCPAP treatment had no relation to gestational age,gender,birth weight,delivery mode,neonatal Apgar score,catheter distortion,or excessive condensation in the tube(P>0.05).However,NCPAP treatment duration,nasal mucosa damage,secretion blockage in the airway,and restlessness were identified as influencing factors for unstable ventilation pressure during NCPAP treatment in HMD neonates(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that NCPAP treatment duration ≥72 h,nasal mucosa damage,secretion blockage in the airway,and restlessness were independent risk fac-tors for unstable ventilation pressure during NCPAP treatment in HMD neonates(P<0.05).A no-mogram model was constructed based on these four independent risk factors.The ROC curve demon-strated good discrimination for the nomogram model,with an area under the curve of 0.801(95%CI,0.730 to 0.861).The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed a chi-square value of 3.550 with a P-value of 0.470,and the calibration curve had a slope close to 1,indicating good fit validity for the nomogram prediction model.Conclusion The nomogram model constructed based on NC-PAP treatment duration,nasal mucosa damage,secretion blockage in the airway,and restlessness has good predictive value for the occurrence of unstable ventilation pressure during NCPAP treatment in HMD neonates.
