Objective To investigate the potential value of MR dynamic contrast enhanced imaging (DCE)in predicting short-term effects of(chemo-)radiation therapy on cervical cancers in vivo.Methods Thirty-two patients pathologically diagnosed as cervical cancers received MR-DCE scan before therapy.The following scans were taken at the 2nd to 3rd week after the radiation or(and)chemotherapy initiated,to calculate early size change.The fourth scan was performed within one month after the therapy to judge residues.DCE derived parameters include mean time to enhancement(MTE),positive enhancement integral (PEI),time to peak(TTP),maximum slope of increase(MSI)and maximum slope of decrease(MSD).Size and DCE parameters were compared and analyzed by Mann-Whitney test and Spearman teat Results There are 20 cases in non-residue group and 12 cases in residue group.In non-residue group,the maximal lengths in both horizontal and craniocaudal directions[(47.45±13.76)mm and(38.75±10.69)mm]were smaller than that in residue group [(61.08±13.73)mm and(53.67±16.05)mm],with statistical significance(Z=-2.455 and-2.650 respectively,P＜0.05).PEI in low-enhance areas of non-residue group(0.62±0.25)was significantly higher than that in residue group(0.39±0.14)(Z=-2.919,P＜0.05).At early time after radiation started,length changing rate and volume changing rate had medium to strong negative correlations with MSI in hish-enhance areas(r=-0.577 and-0.723 respectively,P＜0.05).Conclusions For cervical cancers,those with larger lengths and lower PEI in low-enhanced areas tend to have tumor residue when radiation therapy completed.Those low MSI in high-enhance areas tend to shrink quickly.It is suggested that volume and parameters of DCE before(chemo-)radiation therapy have the potential in predicting short-term therapeutic effect.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients by meta-analysis.

METHODSFrom January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2013, clinical literatures about postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients,were searched from the Pubmed. Literature extract table were formed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stata-12.0 was applied for Meta-analysis. P was used to test heterogeneity of study, random-effect model was performed when I2 > 50%. Subgroup analysis was used according to stage of age, assessment scale of delirium and statistical area of literature. Begg test was used to test publication bias.

AIM:To study the effect of adventitia removal on vascular structure and function in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).METHODS: Thirteen-week-old male SHR(n=8) were removed their right carotid artery adventitia(SHR control group),8 age-matched male Wistar-Kyoto rats were selected as normal control group(WKY group).With all rats,the right carotid artery adventitia was removed by mechanical and chemical means,and the left carotid artery adventitia was conducted with fake operation for control.After 4 weeks,the velocity of carotid artery was detected by electromagnetic rheometer.Plasma and carotid artery angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) levels were measured by radioimmunoassay.Lumen cross section area(LA),intraelastic layer area(IELA) and extraelastic layer area(EELA) were measured by computed video processing.The ratio of(IELA-LA)/(EELA-IELA) was calculated.The expression of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE2),extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2) and protein kinase C-?(PKC-?) protein were determined by immunohistochemistry method.The expression of ACE2 mRNA was evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).RESULTS:(1) The hyperplasia of intima in adventitia removal was more significantly exacerbated than that in adventitia integrity(P

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria separated from ascites of patients in Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from 2015 to 2021, and to provide a basis for rational clinical antimicrobial agents. Methods　Bacterial culture, bacterial identification and drug sensitivity analysis were performed on 1 058 non-duplicate ascites culture specimens from January 2015 to December 2021. The clinica1 and microbiologica1 data were ana1yzed by WHONET 5.6 and SAS 9.4 Results　Of the 1 058 specimens, 586 (55.39%) were positive for pathogenic bacteria, with a total of 781 strains isolated. There was no significant trend of increase or decrease in the positivity rate over different years. Male children (63.99%) were more prevalent than female children. Appendicitis (59.22%) was the most common disease and Escherichia coli was the most common causative bacteria. Among neonates (≤28 d), the bacteria with the highest detection rate were Klebsiella pneumoniae (23.50%) and Enterococcus faecium (23.50%), while among children (>28 d), the highest detection rate was Escherichia coli (35.98%). Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 64.79% of the 781 strains, mainly Escherichia coli (38.28%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (8.58%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.89%); Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 29.45%, mainly Enterococcus faecium (8.58%), Streptococcus constellatus (2.69%), and Enterococcus avium (2.43%); fungi accounted for 1.66% and anaerobic bacteria accounted for 4.10%. The resistance rates of Escherichia coli to cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam, imipenem and meropenem were 6.02%, 4.35%, 4.35%, and 3.68%, respectively. The resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to these drugs were 59.70%, 59.70%, 50.75% and 53.73% respectively. Linezolid-resistant strains of Enterococcus faecium were found. Conclusion　Appendicitis is the most common abdominal infection in children, and the distribution of ascites pathogens varies with ages and diseases. The pathogenic bacteria are mainly Gram-negative bacteria, and the drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae was more serious. It is particularly important to use antibiotics correctly and rationally to reduce the emergence of drug resistant bacteria.

Objective To establish a simple and sensitive method for the determination of serum copper by spectrophotometry.Methods Nitro-PAPS was used as a coloring agent for serum copper in the presence of surfactants Tween-80 and Triton X-100 and the formed complex was measured by spectrophotometry.Results The maximum absorption wavelength of the complex was 570 nm and the molar absorption coefficient was 7.95?10~4 L/(mol?cm).The lineafity of the method was up to 63.0 ?mol/L and the recoveries ranged from 98.6% to 103.1%.The within-run and between-run CVs were 2.1%-3.3% and 2.7%-3.8%.The method(Y)was compared with an AAS method(X)and a correlation of Y=1.01X -0.27(r=0.998 2)was obtained.A reference interval(x~-?2s)determined with this method on 68 individuals was 9.7-24.1 ?moL/L.Conclusions A simple and sensitive method for serum copper has been established.It may used for the analysis of serum copper in clinical laboratories.

Immobilized penicillin acylase was used for bioconversion of penicillin G into 6-APA in aqueous two-phase systems consisted of a light-sensitive polymer PNBC and a pH-sensitive polymer PADB.Partition coefficients of 6-APA was found to be:about 5.78,in the presence of 1% NaCl.Enzyme kinetic showed that reaction reached equilibrium at 7h or so.The 6-APA mole yields were 85.3%(pH 7.8,and 20 ℃) and this value was about 20%higher than control in reaction of single aqueous phase buffer.Partition coefficient of penicillin G(Na) washardly changeable,while partition coefficient of product,6-APA and phenylacetate acid was significantly changeable.Reason is due to Donnan effect of phase systems andhydrophobicity of products.The change of partition coefficients of products also affects bioconversion yield of products.In the aqueous two-phase systems,substrate,penicillin G,products 6-APA and phenylacetate acid are biased in top phase,while immobilized penicillin acylase is completely partitioned in bottom.Substrate,penicillin G enters into bottom phase,and it is catalyzed into 6-APA and phenylacetate acid,then the products enter into top phase.Finally,inhibition of substrate and products is removed to result in improvement of products yield.Moreover,immobilized enzymehashigher efficiency than immobilized cells and occupy smaller volume.Comparing with free enzyme,immobilized enzymehashigher stability,longer use life,completely partitioned in bottom phase and recycle.Bioconversion in two-phase systems using immobilized penicillin acylase showed outstanding advantage.The light-sensitive copolymer forming aqueous two-phase systems could be recovered by laser radiation at 488 nm or filtrated 450 nm light,while pH-sensitive polymer PADB could be recovered by isoelectric point(pH 4.1).The recovery of the two copolymers was 95%~99%.
