Objective To evaluate the anti-bacteria effects of polymyxin B combined with meropenem against 30 strains pan-drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa that separated in clinic. Methods The minimal inhibitory concentration (MICs) of 30 strains pan-drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa after treated with polymyxin B and meropenem as single-use or combination use were determined by both microdilution method and checkerboard method. The FIC index was calculated, then the type of combination effect was determined according to FIC index, which was used to determine whether there was synergistic or antagonistic effects. Results The MICs of pan-drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa were reduced significantly after polymyxin B combined with meropenem when compared with single-use. The percentages of the FIC index that less than 0.5 and the index between 0.5 and 1 were 60%and 30%respectively. Conclusion The results indicate that the combinations of polymyxin B with meropenem have good synergistic and additive effects against pan-drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa, there is no antagonism.

Objective:To discusses the variations of 7Be, 137Cs and 210Pb activity concentrations in the air in Beijing from March 16, 2021 to March 31, 2023, and their correlation with temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, barometric pressure, PM10 (only limited to 137Cs) and other meteorological parameters. Methods:A total of 60 aerosol samples were collected using the HRHA01-SFS1000/A ultra-large flowair sampler in the automatic radiation monitoring station. The activity concentrations of 7Be, 137Cs and 210Pb in the aerosol samples were measured by GMX-60 low background anti-Compton high purity germanium gamma spectrometer. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to show the correlation of the relevant parameters. Results:The seasonal mean values of 7Be activity concentration were spring 4.31 mBq/m 3, summer 3.53 mBq/m 3, autumn 3.09 mBq/m 3 and winter 2.45 mBq/m 3, respectively, ranging from 1.17 to 7.79 mBq/m 3, with the overall mean of (3.36±1.33) mBq/m 3. The activity concentration of 137Cs ranged from 0.39 to 8.49 μBq/m 3, with an average of (0.59±1.47) μBq/m 3. The average activity concentrations of 210Pb were spring 0.53 mBq/m 3, summer 0.44 mBq/m 3, autumn 0.72 mBq/m 3 and winter 0.75 mBq/m 3, respectively, ranging from 0.21 to 1.36 mBq/m 3, with an average of (0.56±0.26) mBq/m 3. The activity concentration of 7Be was correlated with temperature and pressure ( r=0.38, -0.40), the activity concentration of 137Cs was correlated with precipitation ( r=-0.41), and the activity concentration of 210Pb was correlated with temperature and pressure ( r=-0.31, 0.37). The variation of 137Cs activity concentration in the air showed an obvious seasonal pattern, and the peak value generally appears in spring of each year (March to May), which was related to the frequent spring dust in Beijing. The activity concentration of 210Pb in the air was affected by coal combustion heating in winter, and has a peak value during November to March. Conclusions:The activity concentrations of 7Be, 137Cs and 210Pb in the air in Beijing are within the normal range, showing a seasonal trend.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the plasma levels of coagulation factor VII (FVII) and polymorphisms of FVII gene in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and evaluate the effect of plasma FVII levels and FVII gene polymorphisms on CHD.

METHODSPlasma FVIIa, FVII: Ag and FVIIc were measured and polymorphisms of FVII gene were analyzed in 149 control cases and 60 CHD cases, including 33 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases by a combination of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and agarose gel electrophoresis.

RESULTSFVIIa, FVIIc in AMI group were significantly higher than that in control group, but FVII: Ag wasn't. There were no significant difference in plasma FVIIa, FVII: Ag and FVIIc between CHD and control group. The IVS7 genotypic frequency in AMI group was significantly different from that in control group. There was no significant difference in genotypic frequencies and allelic frequencies in other polymphism sites. FVII: Ag was significantly higher in -402A homozygote than that in -402G homozygote.

CONCLUSIONSIncreased FVII levels, especially FVIIa and FVIIc in plasma, may contribute to coronary artery thrombosis. There was significant difference in IVS7 genotype frequency between control and AMI groups, but the rest weren't significantly different. FVII: Ag was significantly higher in -402A homozygote than that in -402G homozygote. Polymorphism of -402 G/A may play an indirect role in AMI by regulating plasma FVII levels.

Objective:To establish an acute kidney injury (AKI) prediction model in patients after cardiac surgery by extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) machine learning model, and to explore the risk and protective factors for AKI in patients after cardiac surgery.Methods:All patients who underwent cardiac surgery in Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅲ (MIMIC-Ⅲ) database were enrolled, and they were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI developed within 14 days after cardiac surgery. Their clinical characteristics were compared. Based on five-fold cross-validation, XGBoost and Logistic regression were used to establish the prediction model of AKI after cardiac surgery. And the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) of the models was compared. The output model of XGBoost was interpreted by Shapley additive explanations (SHAP).Results:A total of 6 912 patients were included, of which 5 681 (82.2%) developed AKI within 14 days after the operation, and 1 231 (17.8%) did not. Compared with the non-AKI group, the main characteristics of AKI group included older age [years: 68.0 (59.0, 76.0) vs. 62.0 (52.0, 71.0)], higher incidence of emergency admission and complicated with obesity and diabetes (52.4% vs. 47.8%, 9.0% vs. 4.0%, 32.0% vs. 22.2%), lower respiratory rate [RR; bpm: times/min: 17.0 (14.0, 20.0) vs. 19.0 (15.0, 22.0)], lower heart rate [HR; bpm: 80.0 (67.0, 89.0) vs. 82.0 (71.5, 93.0)], higher blood pressure [mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 80.0 (70.7, 90.0) vs. 78.0 (70.0, 88.0)], higher hemoglobin (Hb), blood glucose, blood K + level and serum creatinine [SCr; Hb (g/L): 122.0 (109.0, 136.0) vs. 120.0 (106.0, 135.0), blood glucose (mmol/L): 7.3 (6.1, 8.9) vs. 6.8 (5.7, 8.5), blood K + level (mmol/L): 4.2 (3.9, 4.7) vs. 4.2 (3.8, 4.6), SCr (μmol/L): 88.4 (70.7, 106.1) vs. 79.6 (70.7, 97.2)], lower albumin (ALB) and triacylglycerol [TG; ALB (g/L): 38.0 (35.0, 41.0) vs. 39.0 (37.0, 42.0), TG (mmol/L): 1.4 (1.0, 2.0) vs. 1.5 (1.0, 2.2)] as well as higher incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and sepsis (30.6% vs. 16.2%, 3.3% vs. 1.9%), with significant differences (all P < 0.05). In the output model of Logistic regression, important predictors were lactic acid [Lac; odds ratio ( OR) = 1.062, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.030-1.100, P = 0.005], obesity ( OR = 2.234, 95% CI was 1.900-2.640, P < 0.001), male ( OR = 0.858, 95% CI was 0.794-0.928, P = 0.049), diabetes ( OR = 1.820, 95% CI was 1.680-1.980, P < 0.001) and emergency admission ( OR = 1.278, 95% CI was 1.190-1.380, P < 0.001). Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) analysis showed that the AUC of the Logistic regression model for predicting AKI after cardiac surgery was 0.62 (95% CI was 0.61-0.67). After optimizing the XGBoost model parameters by grid search combined with five-fold cross-validation, the model was trained well with no overfitting or overfitting. ROC analysis showed that the AUC of XGBoost model for predicting AKI after cardiac surgery was 0.77 (95% CI was 0.75-0.80), which was significantly higher than that of Logistic regression model ( P < 0.01). After SHAP treatment, in the output model of XGBoost, age and ALB were the most important predictors of the final outcome, where age was the risk factor (average |SHAP value| was 0.434), and ALB was the protective factor (average |SHAP value| was 0.221). Conclusions:Age is an important risk factor for AKI after cardiac surgery, and ALB is a protective factor. The performance of machine learning in predicting cardiac and vascular surgery-associated AKI is better than the traditional Logistic regression. XGBoost can analyze the more complex relationship between variables and outcomes, and can predict the risk of postoperative AKI more accurately and individually.
