Objective To compare the efficacy of different antibiotics strategy,introperitoneal (IP) cefazolin plus third-generation cephalosporin versus IP Vancomycin plus thirdgeneration cephalosporin on peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis.Methods All episodes of PD -associated peritonitis happened in prevalent PD patients between January 2008 and December 2012 were recruited from the PD Center of Peking University First Hospital.According to their empiric antibiotics scheme,episodes were divided into group A (where IP cefazolin plus third-generation cephalosporins were administrated) and group B (where IP Vancomycin plus third-generation cephalosporins were administrated).Multivariable logistic regression model was used to explore the influence of different emnpiric antibiotics scheme on peritonitis outcome.Results Patients in Group B had significantly lower level of serum albumin (33.5±6.0 vs 35.3±5.2 g/L) and cholesterol (4.6±1.3 vs 4.9± 1.1 mmol/L) than those in group A.In group A,the percentage of gram-positive bacteria was similar to group B (43.2％ vs 43.3％,P =0.96),but gram-negative bacteria was numerically lower (16.9％ vs 24.7％,P =0.08).Different empiric antibiotics strategy was not independent predictor of peritonitis outcome [OR =1.07,95％ CI(0.45,2.56),P=0.87].Conclusion Both cefazolin and vancomycin can be selected as first-line empiric antibiotic covering gram-positive organisms in the treatment of PD related peritonitis.

Objective To investigate mechanism of chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) causes increased oxidative stress and oxidative damage in the patients. Methods Seventy CBP patients (CBPPs) sampled randomly, and seventy healthy adult volunteers(HAVs) sampled randomly, were enrolled in a case-control study, in which the levels of nitric oxide (NO), vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE), and (-carotene ((-CAR) in plasma, as well as the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in erythrocytes were determined by spectrophotometry. Results Compared with the average values of NO and MDA in the HAVs group((378?33)nmol/L和(28.6?4.4)nmol/g?Hb),the average values in the CBPPs group ((426?31)nmol/L and (34.7?4.7)nmol/g?Hb)were significantly increased, while VC, VE, ?-CAR, SOD, CAT, and GPX in the CBPPs group((47.4?11.6)?mol/L,(18.1?4.8)?mol/L,(1.4?0.4)?mol/L, (1 912?221)U/g?Hb, (254?67) K/g?Hb and (25.0?5.0) U/g?Hb) were significantly decreased compared with the average values in the HAVs group((55.1?13.4)?mol/L、(25.7?4.5)?mol/L、(1.7?0.5)?mol/L、(2 081?222)U/g?Hb、(294?77)K/g?Hb和(28.8?5.1)U/g?Hb)).The partial correlation analysis between the course of disease and the said each parameter for 70 CBPPs while controlling for the age suggested that with prolonged course of disease the values of NO and MDA were gradually increased (rNO=0.480 1,rMDA=0.436 4,P

Objective To study the clinical characteristics,pathology,and treatment for papillary carcinoma of the breast.Methods The clinical data of 17 patients of papillary carcinoma of the breast admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wen Zhou Medical College were retrospectively analyzed.Results Papillary carcinoma of the breast accounted for 0.64％ of all breast cancer cases hospitalized during last 10 years.All cases had palpable lumps in the breast.12 cases received modified radical mastectomy,2 cases received simple mastectomy,2 cases underwent breast conservation therapy,1 case underwent simple mastectomy plus sentinel lymph node biopsy.15 patients received postoperative chemotherapy,among those 5 cases also received radiotherapy.During a 32.5-month median follow-up ( 1 month to 8 years),one case with bone metastases died 2 years postoperatively and another one died of multimetastases 7 years later.Conclusions The prognosis of papillary carcinoma of the breast is closely related with its pathology type.For intraductal papillary carcinoma low-traumatic therapy is applicable,while in case of infiltrating papillary carcinoma or invasive micropapillary carcinoma ( IMPC ),more aggressive therapies like that adopted for infiltrating ductal carcinoma are recommended.

Objective To investigate the expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α) and hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α (HNF-4α) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the function of HNF-1α and HNF-4α during HCC carcinogenesis and development. Methods Twenty-six specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma were collected. The expressions of HNF-1α and HNF-4α in HCC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry staining. Results The mRNA levels of HNF-1α and HNF-4α were significantly lower in HCC tissues than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (0.818±0.371 vs. 0.383±0.102 for HNF-1α, P＜0.05;0.846±0.384 vs. 0.397±0.105 for HNF-4α, P＜0.05).The positive rates of HNF-1α and HNF-4α protein were significantly lower in HCC tissues than in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (92.3% vs. 42.3% for HNF-1α, P＜0.05;96.2% vs. 50.0% for HNF-4α, P＜0.05). The mRNA and protein expressions of HNF-1α and HNF-4α were correlated with tumor differentiation (P＜0.05). There was a negative correlation between HNF-1α and HNF-4α mRNA expressions in HCC tissues.Conclusion The expressions of HNF-1α and HNF-4α are down-regulated in HCC, which might be related to carcinogenesis and development of HCC.

We evaluated the patient in the early,advanced or healing phase of the disease by MRI in the treatment of chronic brucellosis spondylitis and to guide the clinical treatment.MRI images of 40 patients with clinically diagnosed chronic brucellosis spondylitis were analyzed retrospectively.The imaging findings of early,advanced and healing patients were summarized.MRI showed abnormal signals in the vertebral body,intervertebral disc,paraspinaI and psoas muscle.It is early stage if the intervertebral space was normal,and advanced stage if combined with interverbral space stenosis.It demonstrated short T1 and short T2 signal or similar to the normal vertebral body,combined with intervertebral space stenosis,for the healing stage.According to the specific imaging manifestations of chronic brucellar spondylitis in the course of disease development,it is possible to evaluate the clinical stage of the disease and guide the rational selection of clinical treatment.

Through potted inoculation test at room temperature and indoor analysis, the photosynthetic parameters and physiological and biochemical indexes of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis were observed after 28 arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were injected into the P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis growing in a sterile soil environment. The results showed that AM fungi established a good symbiosis with P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The AM fungi influenced the photosynthetic parameters and physiological and biochemical indexes of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. And the influences were varied depending on different AM fungi. The application of AM fungi improved photosynthesis intensity of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis mesophyll cells, the contents of soluble protein and soluble sugar, protective enzyme activity of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis leaf, which was beneficial to resist the adverse environment and promote the growth of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. Otherwise, there was a certain mutual selectivity between P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and AM fungi. From the comprehensive effect of inoculation, Racocetra coralloidea, Scutellospora calospora, Claroideoglomus claroideum, S. pellucida and Rhizophagus clarus were the most suitable AM fungi to P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis when P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was planted in the field.

Abstract: Viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 is a continuous dynamic process, which can be divided into latent stage, initial stage, peak stage and decreasing stage according to the characteristics of viral shedding. After being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the infected person generally stays in the latent period for 1-3 days, which is characterized by continuous negative nucleic acid test results and no infectiousness, and the risk of infection for close contacts is very low. At the initial stage of viral shedding is characterized by a rapid decline in the Ct value of nucleic acid tests in a short time, and clinical symptoms gradually appear. The infectiousness of the infected person gradually increases during this period, and the risk of infection for close contacts also gradually increases, but it is still in the early stage of infection, the possibility of viral shedding is low, and the risk of infection of secondary close contacts is low. The peak of viral shedding is characterized by low Ct value in nucleic acid test and obvious clinical symptoms; during this period, the infected person is the most infectious, and the risk of infection of the contact is the highest, so the scope of close contacts should be expanded appropriately. The decreasing period is characterized by the gradual increase of Ct value of nucleic acid test and the gradual disappearance of clinical symptoms; during this period, the infectiousness of the infected person gradually decreases to disappear. In an outbreak, an infected person in the decreasing phase is more likely to be an early infected person in the transmission chain. If infected individuals in the decreasing phase are found in an area without a SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, it suggests that the local outbreak epidemic has been spreading for some time and may be larger in scale. According to the characteristics of viral shedding, risk personnel can be determined more scientifically and accurately, so as to minimize the risk and reduce the waste of epidemic prevention resources.
