Objective: To explore automatic breast full volume imaging (ABVS) and color doppler ultrasound (CDFI) for breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in the evaluation of curative effect. Methods:The application of a CDFI and ABVS 42 cases of breast cancer patients receiving NCT lesions imaging characteristics before and after observation and analysis. Results:ABVS from coronal distribution and audio-visual change according to the primary tumor, and CDFI images showing the primary tumors and blood flow changes within all have significant difference in patients with complete remission after NCT (P<0.01);ABVS from coronal distri-bution and audio-visual change according to the primary tumor, and CDFI showed lesions in blood flow changes, etc. in patients with the absence of change and easing some lesions have no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion:We use ABVS and CDFI for breast cancer before and after the NCT curative effect evaluation of great clinical significance and value.

BACKGROUND:Resistance exercise increases muscle mass and improves muscle strength,but there is a lack of conclusive evidence on its effects on body composition.Controversial results from randomized controlled trials and multiple Meta-analyses pose a problem for clinical decisions on exercise interventions. OBJECTIVE:Based on the methodological paradigm of umbrella review,to explore the efficacy and safety of resistance exercise in improving the body composition of overweight and obese people. METHODS:We searched PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and CNKI for systematic reviews on the effect of resistance exercise in overweight and obese people published from database inception to August 31,2022.Chinese search terms included"anti-resistance,resistance,self-weight,Meta,Meta-analysis,body composition,body fat percentage,fat mass,lean body mass,body mass."English search terms included"resistance training,strength training,weight-lifting strengthening program,body composition,body fat distribution,Meta-analysis,data pooling,overviews,clinical trial,clinical trial overviews."PRISMA was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies,and a GRADE evaluation system was used to grade the quality of evidence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 14 Meta-analyses were included,and GRADE evidence quality evaluation showed that 2 outcome indicators were intermediate,12 were low,and 14 were extremely low.Compared with the control group,23 of the 32 outcome measures showed significant improvement.The intervention effect of resistance exercise on body fat percentage has reached a consensus,but the intervention effects on lean body mass,body mass index and visceral fat still need further confirmation.Resistance exercise is an effective and safe method to improve the body composition of overweight and obese people.The overall quality of the research and the evidence quality of the outcome indicators included in the systematic evaluation are generally low.In the future,the initial state,exercise goal and willingness of the subjects should be fully combined on the basis of clarifying the sample characteristics and refining the scheme design.Through multiple,scientific and personalized exercise prescription designs of water,air and elastic resistance,the safety and compliance of resistance exercise can be improved,providing clear evidence-based support and decision-making basis for resistance exercise intervention.

Objective:To explore the role of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) in hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in Suzhou.Methods:Pathogen data of 2 367 patients with bronchiolitis, bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia, and interstitial pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed from January 2017 to December 2018 in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University. The detected pathogens were MP, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (Adv), influenza A, B, parainfluenza virus (PIV) 1, 2 and 3, human metapneumovirus (hMPV), boca virus (HBoV) and bacteria.Results:The most common pathogen of bronchiolitis was RSV (34.9%, 249/713), followed by MP (15.8%, 113/713) and hMPV (11.4%, 85/713). The most common pathogen of bronchial pneumonia was Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp, 14.8%, 180/1 220), followed by RSV (13.1%, 160/1 220) and MP (10.2%, 124/1 220). The most common pathogen of lobar pneumonia was MP (47.8%, 141/295), followed by Sp(12.9%, 38/295). The most common pathogen of interstitial pneumonia was MP (35.3%, 49/139), followed by RSV (23.0%, 32/139) and Adv (6.5%, 9/139). Compared with non-MP infections, children with MP infections were older, and had higher percentage of fever and less shortness of breath. The adjusted OR(95% CI) was 2.4 (1.1-3.5), 5.1 (3.2-10.4) and 0.2 (0.0-0.4), respectively. Conclusions:MP is the most common pathogen of lobar pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia and the second most common cause of bronchiolitis. MP infections are usually associated with older age, higher percentage of fever and less shortness of breath.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) in childhood Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated infectious mononucleosis (IM).Methods:From January 2013 to December 2017, the medical charts of all children who were diagnosed with EBV-associated IM and HPS in Children′s Hospital of Soochow University were analyzed retrospectively. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 22.0.Results:A total of 316 IM and 59 HPS were enrolled. The age was (4.26 ± 2.95) years old with a male-to-female ratio of 1.2∶1. In addition to the diagnostic criteria of HPS, there were significantly lower rates of fever >10 d, hepatomegaly, jaundice, alanine aminotransferase >500 U/L, aspartate aminotransferase >500 U/L, LDH >1 000 U/L, C-reactive protein >50 mg/L and hypoalbuminemia in children with EBV-associated IM compared to those with HPS, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that fever >10 d, eyelid edema, lymphadenopathy and purulent tonsils were independent predictors of HPS in children with EBV-associated IM ( P<0.05). Hepatomegaly and fever >10 d were risk factors ( OR = 16.079 and 12.138, 95% CI 2.788 to 92.744 and 2.878 to 51.180). Eyelid edema, lymphadenopathy and purulent tonsils were protective factors ( OR = 0.087, 0.006 and 0.031; 95% CI 0.010 to 0.723, 0.001 to 0.058 and 0.007 to 0.146). Conclusions:Hepatomegaly and fever >10 d are the risk factors for hemophagocytic syndrome in childhood EBV-associated infectious mononucleosis.

AIM: To explore the clinical efficacy of three different kinds of Chinese patent medicines combined with tacrolimus and hormone in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome (NS). METHODS: A total of 199 patients with NS treated in department of nephrology of our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were treated with tacrolimus combined with hormone regimen for 12 weeks. According to different treatment schemes, they were divided into 4 groups: 57 cases in the control group, 51 cases in the Bailing capsule group (Bailing group), 55 cases in the Huangkui capsule group (Huangkui group) and 36 cases in the Wuzhi capsule group (Wuzhi group). The general data of patients, the biochemical indexes before and after treatment, and the tacrolimus blood concentration were collected. RESULTS: After 12 weeks of treatment, 24 h UTP and ALB of each group were statistically different (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, Bailing group had statistically significant differences in the reduction of TG and TC (P<0.05), Huangkui group had statistically significant differences in the reduction of 24 h UTP and serum TC (P<0.05), Wuzhi group had statistically significant differences in the reduction of 24 h UTP and AST (P<0.05). The steady-state trough concentration (C

AIM: To establish an ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method for the determination of micafungin in plasma of critically ill patients. And to establish a model for estimating the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of micafungin by limited sampling strategy. METHODS: Patients with severe infection were administrated with micafungin once a day, 1 h for each infusion. The blood samples were collected before administration and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after administration and were measured by UPLC. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by Phoenix winnonlin 6.4, and the drug concentrations at 2-4 blood collection points were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 to establish limited sampling models. RESULTS: The calibration curve was linear over a concentration range of 1.0 to 50 μg/mL (r
