Objective To analyze the epidemiologic data of patients withClostridium botulinum food poisoning, and to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of food borne botulism.Methods A retrospective study was conducted. Fifty-three patients withClostridium botulinum food poisoning admitted to Chinese PLA Center of Poisoning and Treatment from January 2009 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to the severity of disease. The clinical data including medical history, epidemiology data, routine blood test and blood biochemistry at hospital admission, the vital signs and arterial blood gas analysis before and after treatment, as well as the occurrence frequency of symptom and sign on set were collected.Results Fifty-three patients with food borne botulism were enrolled, with 33 patients in mild group, 13 in moderate group, and 7 in severe group. Most of the patients were female, the age distribution was in large span, the outbreak of disease was in groups mainly with the family, and patients were mainly located in Hebei Province, Beijing and Henan Province. The outbreaks were mainly happened in Spring and Summer, and homemade fermentation products were still the first cause of poisoning with the average latent period of (51.01±4.78) hours. The majority of patients with botulism were in mild resulted from the type A toxin. With the aggravation of disease, hospitalization time was gradually increased, white blood cell (WBC) and neutrophils (NEUT) at hospitalization admission, and respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) before the treatment were shown in obviously rising trend, albumin (ALB) at hospitalization admission and pH, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) before treatment were in decline. The parameters in severe group were most severe, and had significant differences as compared with those of mild group [hospitalization time (days): 72.57±39.52 vs. 6.61±3.72, WBC (×109/L): 13.01±6.44 vs. 6.85±2.07, NEUT: 0.85±0.07 vs.0.63±0.14, RR (bpm): 32.14±4.33 vs. 15.18±1.70, HR (bpm): 132.29±5.19 vs. 75.54±8.24, FiO2: 0.32±0.05 vs. 0.21±0.00, ALB (g/L): 38.57±4.65 vs. 42.09±4.57, pH: 7.08±0.10 vs. 7.38±0.07, PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 75.16±5.24 vs. 98.39±1.50, SaO2: 0.78±0.06 vs. 0.97±0.02, allP < 0.05]. The symptom and sign on set of 53 patients with food borne botulism was dizziness, followed by fatigue, blurred vision, nausea, and other symptoms and signs were lower than 50%, and the occurrence of dizziness with rank one happen rate was significantly higher than blurred vision and nausea (χ2 values were 7.209 and 10.502 respectively, andP values were 0.007 and 0.004 respectively). After the on time prescription of botulinum antitoxins treatment, the clinical symptoms of patients could be relived quickly. All the patients were discharged without deaths.Conclusion In order to improve the recovery of the food borne botulism poisoning patients, adequate antitoxin and the related organ supports should be prescribed on time.

Purpose To investigate the mutation status of KRAS and PIK3CA gene in colorectal cancer (CRC) primary lesions and corresponding liver metastasis and its clinical significance.Methods The gene mutations of KRAS and PIK3CA were detected in 58 cases of primary lesions of CRC and corresponding liver metastasis tissue by real-time PCR.Results The mutation rates of KRAS were 31.03％ (18/58) and 25.86％ (15/58) in primary lesions of CRC and corresponding liver metastasis tissue,respectively,in which G12D was most commonly detected.The mutation rates of PIK3CA were 8.62％ (5/58) and 10.34％ (6/58) respectively,in which the most common mutation site was E545K.Only one case carried simultaneously both mutations of KRAS (G12D) and PIK3CA (E545K).The mutation of KRAS and PIK3CA had a good consistency between primary lesions and liver metastasis.Univariate analysis showed that the mutation of KRAS was related to the primary lesion of tumor location,the quantity of metastasis and the types of tumor (P ＜ O.05),PIK3 CA mutation was associated with the synchronous/metachronous liver metastasis and the quantity of metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that synchronous/metachronous liver metastasis and the mutation of KRAS were influencing factors for prognosis of CRC.The overall survival of patients with CRC who had simultaneous liver metastases was longer than those with heterotopic liver metastases;the overall survival of KRAS wild-type mutant patients was longer than those of mutant patients (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The G12D site of KRAS gene has the highest mutation frequency in CRC,KRAS/PIK3CA mutation has a good consistency of the primary lesions of CRC and corresponding liver metastasis.Primary lesions can be as the source of molecular detection.To achieve individualized treatment,we need to reassess the genetic status of metastasis based on the choice of targeted therapy for precision medicine.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical distribution characteristics, drug resistance trends and the carrying of antiseptic resistance gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children in Suzhou, in order to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children. Methods The clinical distribution characteristics and drug resistance trends of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from Children's Hospital of Soochow University from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Forthermore, 101 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were randomly selected to detect the expression of 9 antiseptic resistance genes (qacEΔ1-sul1, qacE, qacEΔ1, qacG, sugE(p), sugE©, emrE, ydgE, ydgF) by polymerase chain reaction. Results Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Soochow University Children's Hospital was mainly isolated from respiratory specimen (47.83%), pus (28.60%) and urine (11.72%); the main departments were intensive care unit(21.45%), general surgery department (15.71%) and respiratory department (12.31%). Patients were mainly aged from 1 month to 1 year old and older than 6 years old (34.31% and 25.38%). The top three drug resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were imipenem (11.25%), aztreonam (9.26%) and meropenem (8.02%). Among the 853 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the drug-resistant strains were mainly from the intensive care unit (58/183), hematology department (33/91), neonatology department (31/96), and there were 57 strains of multi-drug-resistant strains with the detection rate of 6.68%. There were 98 strains (11.49%) of Carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the annual detection rates were 22.06%, 8.40%, 3.60%, 5.67%, 9.85% and 17.20%, respectively. Among the 9 antiseptic resistance genes, the carrying rate of ydgF, sugE© and qacE was 98.02%, 94.06% and 0 respectively. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa has high resistance to some drugs, so attention should be paid to rational drug use. The carriage rates of of two antiseptic resistance genes exceeded 90%, indicating the need to strengthen research on the mechanism of antiseptic resistance research and rational use of disinfectants

AIM: To investigate the role of brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP) in the early diagnosis of diabetic central neuropathy (DCN) and to probe into the relationship between plasma nitric oxide (NO) and DCN. METHODS: Experimental diabetes(ED) rat model was used. BAEP and plasma NO were measured dynamically after ED modeling. RESULTS: The peak latency (PL) of Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and V and the interpeak latency (IPL) of I-III and III-V of BAEP in ED group prolonged after 4 weeks of ED modeling (P＜0.05). All PL and IPL of BAEP prolonged after 6 weeks、8 weeks and 10 weeks (P＜0.01). The plasma NO increased to the top in ED group at 2 weeks and then decreased gradually. There was negative correlation between plasma NO and PL and IPL of BAEP. CONCLUSION: BAEP was sensitive and valuable in the early diagnosis of DCN. Reduction of plasma NO may play a role in the pathogenesis of DCN.

ObjectiveTo study the dose distribution of the intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) inverse plans with different energy X-ray, to provide a reference of energy options for radiation therapy. MethodsEight cases with different disease were chosen, the plan for each case were finished with 1Arc (360°) VMAT, 9 fields IMRT and 5 fields IMRT.For each plan project, the energy selections were 4 MV, 6 MV, 8 MV and 15 MV. In the evaluation,homogeneity index ( HI), conformity index ( CI ) and external volume index ( EVI ) of target, the average dose ( Dmean) and 2％ volume in dose volume histogram ( D2 ) of serial organs at risk ( OARs), the average dose ( Dmean ) and a dose level volume ( Vx ) of parallel OARs were chosen and compared . Results Statistical analysis showed that: For the target, the result of HI were F=0. 13,0. 51,0. 09, P=0. 939,0.679,0.965,CI were F=0. 13,0.51,0.09,P=0.939,0.679,0.965, EVI were F=0. 15,0.31,0. 15,P =0. 930,0. 818,0. 931, respectively ; For the OARs of each patient, F ＜ 0. 20, P ＞ 0. 05. All results indicated there was little difference in option of energy for the same field p8roject. ConclusionsThe results indicate that the middle and low energy X-ray (6 MV or 8 MV) can satisfy the needs of IMRT and VMAT radiotherapy. Compared with middle and low energy, the high energy X-ray (15 MV ) showed little advantage in dose distribution.
