Objective To compare the effects between bloodletting at auricular points and acupuncture at specific points [Yintang (GV 29) or Yanglao (SI 6)] for analgesia in acute lumbar sprain.Method Totally 100 patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by bloodletting at auricular points, while the control group was by acupuncture at specific points [Yintang (GV 29) or Yanglao (SI 6). The Present Pain Intensity (PPI) from the Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire was taken as the observation index. The changes of PPI were compared respectively 10 min and 30 min after treatment.Result The PPI scores were significantly changed 30 min after treatment in both groups (P<0.05). The PPI scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group both 10 min and 30 min after intervention (P<0.05).Conclusion Bloodletting at auricular points and acupuncture at specific points are both effective in releasing pain in acute lumbar sprain, while bloodletting at auricular points can produce a more significant real-time analgesic effect.

Objective: To investigate the factors affecting spontaneous preterm birth in singleton pregnancy, so as to provide insights into reducing the risk of preterm birth. Methods: A total of 230 lying-in women with spontaneous preterm birth in singleton pregnancies admitted to the Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were selected as the case group, and lying-in women with full-term birth in singleton pregnancies in the hospital during the study period were selected as controls. Basic information and pregnancy status were collected through the hospital information system, and factors affecting spontaneous preterm birth in singleton pregnancies were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: The lying-in women in the case group had a mean age of (33.40±3.16) years and a mean gestational weeks at delivery of (34.72±2.15) weeks. The lying-in women in the control group had a mean age of (28.30±3.92) years and a mean gestational weeks at delivery of (39.84±2.09) weeks. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age of 35 years and older (OR=1.280, 95%CI: 1.022-1.603), induced abortion three times and above (OR=3.122, 95%CI: 1.368-7.121), history of preterm birth (OR=3.769, 95%CI: 1.725-8.240), premature rupture of membranes (OR=12.708, 95%CI: 4.836-33.391), gestational hypertension (OR=2.934, 95%CI: 1.313-6.550), gestational diabetes (OR=2.510, 95%CI: 1.249-5.038) and cervical canal length ≤25 mm (OR=5.832, 95%CI: 2.380-14.279) as factors affecting spontaneous preterm birth in singleton pregnancies. Conclusion Spontaneous preterm birth in singleton pregnancy may be associated with age, number of induced abortions, premature rupture of membranes, complications in pregnancy and cervical canal length.

Objective To screen the high-efficiency predominant bacteria which can decompound 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, the accelerant for producing latex, in the organic wastewater. Methods Sampling from manufacturing environment, we got the predominant bacteria by primary screening, isolating and functional tests, and performed simulated test ground decompounding tests by using all bacteria. The enrichment of the predominant bacteria was followed by screen and identification to select the high-efficiency bacteria. Results 75 strains of predominant bacteria were obtained by primary screening. The simulated decompounding tests were performed after the mixed bacteria were tamed. The ratio of elimination for chemical oxygen demand (COD) was about 60.8%-97.7%, and the average was 77.2%. The predominant bacteria adhered to the surface of the active carbon, the carrier, and formed the biological film. Through screening and identification the Bacillus cereus showed to be predominant (90%). Conclusion The technology of high-efficiency predominant bacteria can be used for decompounding 2-mercaptobenzothiazole in the organic wastewater.

Objective To study a rapid and sensitive method for determination of virulence-associated genes in O1El Tor,O139,non-O1/non-O139Vibrio cholerae strains.Methods Five pairs of primers were designed respectively ac-cording to cholera toxin sub-unit A gene(ctxA),accessory cholera enterotoxin gene(ace),zonula occludens toxin gene(zot),toxin coregulated pilus A gene(tcpA)and toxR regulatory protein gene(toxR).Multiplex PCR(MPCR)procedures for simultaneously detecting those five genes were established.The gene information of the virulence-associated genes in the Vibrio cholerae strains was obtained through agar gel electrophoresis for products of single amplification of the MPCR.Results The five virulence-associated genes in the positive control Vibrio cholerae O139(MO45strain)could be detected and the results were correct,which could meet the designed request for the method.In the other tested strains(O1EL Tor,O139,non-O1/non-O139)could be detected1to5kinds of the virulence-associated genes.Based on the results of the variety of carried virulence-associated genes,the tested Vibrio cholerae strains could be classified as5kinds of genetypes,and the Vibrio cholerae could be distinguished between toxic and non-toxic strains.The sensitivity of the MPCR approach reached to10 2 cfu/ml.Conclusion This method is rapid,specific and sensitive,which possess great value for practical application.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of health and safety management in elderly patients receiving gastroenteroscopy under sedation.Methods:From February 2018 to November 2019, 126 elderly patients admitted to the cadre medicine and gerontology department of our hospital to undergo gastroenteroscopy under sedation were included as research subjects.According to the digital random number method, they were divided into the control group and the test group(n=63, each group). The control group was given routine management, while the test group was given routine management plus health and safety management.Clinical effects and safety were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in scores of the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)and the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)between the two groups before intervention.After intervention, the scores of HAMA and HAMD were lower in the test group than in the control group[(39.2±3.1)scores vs.(48.6±2.1)scores, (40.1±4.1)scores vs.(52.6±5.5)scores, t=19.926 and 14.463, both P=0.000]. The incidence of postoperative complications was lower in the test group than in the control group(7.94% or 5/63 vs.19.05% or 12/65, χ2=14.209, P=0.002). The differences between maximum and minimum values of heart rate(HR), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), respiratory rate(RR)and systolic blood pressure(SBP)were lower in the test group than in the control group(all P<0.05). The length of the procedure was shorter and the anesthetic dose was lower in the test group than in the control group(9.11±2.56 min vs.13.56±3.05 min, 15.35±2.66 ml vs.21.67±6.15 ml, t=8.870 and 7.486, both P=0.000). Patient satisfaction was higher in the test group than in the control group( χ2=16.383, P=0.014). Conclusions:Health and safety management can improve emotional health, stabilize vital signs and enhance satisfaction in elderly patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy under sedation.

Objective To study the role of adiponectin (ADP)post-conditioning in alleviating myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) in 3-week old rats.Methods SD rats (3-week old) were randomly divided into 4 groups by random digits table (n =6):sham group was processed identically except that the left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD) was not ligated;MIRI group was subjected to occlusion of the LAD followed by reperfusion,occlusion for 30 min and reperfusion for 120 min;ADP group was subjected to injection of ADP into femoral vein before reperfusion;LY294002 group (ADP post-conditioning and LY294002) was subjected to injection of ADP and LY294002 into femoral vein before reperfusion.The titer of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),cardiac troponin I(cTnl) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in plasma were observed.The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and MDA in myocardial tissue were observed.Results The levels of LDH,cTnI and MDA in plasma of MIRI group was (732.11 ± 111.29) IU/L,(38.05 ± 6.17) g/L and (4.49 ± 0.17) nmol/L,respectively,compared with sham group,the levels of LDH,cTnI and MDA in plasma of MIRI group increased obviously(all P ＜ 0.05);the levels of LDH,cTnI and MDA in plasma of ADP group were (581.72 ± 68.41) IU/L,(20.70 ± 5.43) g/L and (3.10 ± 0.20) nmol/L,respectively;compared with MIRI group,the levels of LDH,cTnⅠ and MDA in plasma of ADP group declined significantly (all P ＜0.05);the levels of LDH,cTnI and MDA in plasma of LY294002 group were (701.10 ±99.59) IU/L,(33.13 ± 4.32) g/L and (4.19 ± 0.46) nmol/L,compared with ADP group,the levels of LDH,cTnI and MDA in plasma of group LY294002 increased remarkably (t =2.477,1.804,2.961,all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with sham group,the SOD level decreased and the MDA level increased in myocardial tissue of MIRI group(all P ＜ 0.05);compared with MIRI group,the SOD level increased and the MDA level decreased in myocardial tissue of ADP group (all P ＜ 0.05);compared with ADP group,the SOD level decreased and the MDA level increased in myocardial tissue of LY294002 group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions ADP postconditioning is perhaps a protective factor for alleviating myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in 3-week-old rats,the protective effect is perherps related to alleviating the damage of the lipid peroxidation by signaling pathway of adiponectin/phosphoinositide-3 kinase/protein kinase B.

Objective To study cellular immune responses induced by DNA vaccine against Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) serotype E. Methods BALB/c mice were divided into three groups to be intramuscularly immunized by blank plasmid (negative control group), DNA vaccine against Ct serotype E (vaccine group), and inactivated Ct elementary body (positive control group), respectively. Two weeks after the last immunization,delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response was evaluated; MTT assay was performed to detect the proliferation of spleen lymphocytes, ELISA to measure the serum level of interferon-γin mice. Some immunized mice underwent a genital challenge with Ct elementary body followed by isolation of Ct from exfoliated epithelial cells in genital tract and pathological examination of cervical tissue from the challenged mice. Results Compared to negative control group, vaccine group and positive control group experienced a stronger DTH response.The lymphocyte stimulating index and serum level of IFN-γwere highest in the positive control group (3.81 ±0.30, 2891.7 ± 1048.8 μg/L), followed by vaccine group (2.35 ± 0.25, 593.3 ± 342.6 μg/L) and negative control group (1.48 ± 0.15, 309.2 ± 157.9 μg/L), and significant difference was observed between the three groups (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). After Ct challenge, Ct was isolated from exfoliated epithelial cells and cervical tissue was damaged in the negative control group, while in the other two groups, Ct was undetected and genital tract tissue was intact. Conclusions The DNA vaccine against Ct serotype E could induce Ct-specific cellular immune responses to some extent, and offer a protection against vaginal challenge with Ct.
