Objective To explore the effects of premature atrial contractions on hemodynamics combined with coronary heart disease and hypertension .Methods According to the advance rate ,62 patients with premature atrial contractions were invided into 3 groups :< 20% group(n= 18) ,20% - 40% group(n= 20) and > 40% group(n= 24) .All of the patients were performed imped‐ance cardiography .The hemodynamics indexes at different times were compared ,and the variation rates in hemodynamics of the three groups combined with basic diseases were analyzed .Results Stroke volume(SV) ,stroke index(SI) ,aortic compliance(AC) , stroke work(SW) ,stroke work index(SWI) ,and heather index(HI) were smallest when premature atrial contractions ,which were middle when the first sinus beats before premature atrial contractions ,and largest when the first sinus beats after premature atrial contractions(P< 0 .05) .The variation rates in hemodynamics were smallest in < 20% group ,which were middle in 20% - 40%group ,and largest in > 40% group(P< 0 .05) .The percentage of patients with basic heart diseases was lowest in < 20% group , which was middle in 20% - 40% group ,and highest in > 40% group(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion The advance rate is relatively large in patients with basic cardiovascular disease .Premature atrial contractions has certain effects on hemodynamics ,and the effects are positively correlated with advance rate .

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in patients with advanced NSCLC.Methods:We collected 23 cases of NSCLC advanced patients, who were treated in the affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2015 to March 2020. And these 23 cases of patients with first-generation EGFR-TKIs resistance were treated with the third-generation EGFR-TKI drugs. We analyzed their clinicopathological characteristics, studied their therapeutic effects, and followed up their progression-free survival (PFS).Results:It is showed that 16 of 23 cases (69.56%) were got local progression and 7 of 23 cases (31.43%) were found with systemic progression. Briefly, the median PFS of the 23 patients was 17.5 months. A total of 7 cases occurred rashes after taking EGFR-TKI, and 3 cases got abnormal liver function. Fortunately, they were all improved after symptomatic treatments. Additionally, no bone marrow suppression (granulocytes, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia) and digestive tract reactions (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) were occurred in 23 cases of NSCLC patients. The mental and physical improvement of EGFR-TKI in the third generation of 19 patients was more obvious than that in the first generation of EGFR-TKI. Among them, 15 cases showed more obvious lesion shrinkage after third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. 4 patients with GGO had cleaner disappearance than that of the first-generation EGFR-TKI.Conclusions:Compared with traditional chemotherapy, the first-generation EGFR-TKI resistance treatment with three-generation EGFR-TKI treatment has better efficacy with reduced toxic and side effects, and significantly improved the life quality of advanced NSCLC patients.

Objective: To explore the pattern of change of axial length/curvatrue radius ratio (AL/CR) and associated factors in primary and secondary school students in Yunnan, so as to provide scientific basis and prospective guidance for early myopia intervention and control. Methods: A total of 685 students from grades 2 to 3 and grade 7 in 2 cities/counties in Yunnan Province were selected by multi stage stratified random cluster sampling method in 2020. All the participants were followed up twice with questionnaire of myopia related factors, uncorrected distance visual acuity, and refractive parameter measurement from October,2021 and March,2023,respectivelty. The distribution and change of AL/CR in different classes and groups were analyzed, and the influencing factos of AL/CR cumulative progression were explored using generalized linear model. Results: AL/CR ratio in primary school students was (2.95±0.09) at baseline, increased to (2.99±0.11) at the first follow up and (3.04±0.12) at the second follow up. AL/CR ratio in middle school students(3.08±0.13) at baseline, increased to (3.12±0.15) at the first follow up and (3.15±0.14) at the second follow up. The generalized linear model showed that after controlling for environmental factors, ethnicity ( β =-0.017) , cumulative progression of the SE ( β =-0.027) influenced the changes of AL/CR ratio among the primary school students, whereas the changes of AL/CR ratio were associated with baseline AL ( β =-0.005), baseline corneal curvatrue radius ( β =0.032) and cumulative progression of SE( β =-0.035) among middle school students ( P <0.05). Conclusions The AL/CR ratio of primary and secondary school students in Yunnan can be used to judge different refractive status types, but its variation is not only related to SE progression, but also affected by different ethnic groups and baseline ocular biological parameters. so the value of AL/CR application in assessing the progression of myopia needs to be further confirmed.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnoses of non-involuting congenital hemangioma ( NICH ) in children.Methods The clinical , morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics of 22 cases of NICH were retrospectively analyzed.Results The mean patients′age at diagnosis was 4.2 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.75∶1.The tumors were located in the head and face (5 cases), neck (3 cases), body (6 cases), upper limbs (5 cases), and lower limbs (3 cases).Histologically, the tumor was dominated by rather large lobules of small vessels that were mostly rounded, curved, small and thin-walled, and were lined by endothelial cells surrounded by one or more layers of pericytes.The center of the lobules was occupied by one or more thin or thick walled vessels , which were surrounded by fibrous and fatty tissue , which contained abnormal arterial and venous structures.At the edge of the lobules there were lymphatic vessels.Immunohsitochemical study showed that tumor cells in NICH were positive for CD34 ( 22/22 ) , CD31 ( 22/22 ) , SMA ( 22/22 ) , vimentin ( 22/22 ) and Glut1 (0/22).D2-40 expression was located at the edge of the capillary lobules.Conclusions NICH is a benign lesion.Clinically and pathologically , it needs to be differentiated from rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma ,infantile hemangiomas ,tufted angioma ,vascular malformation ,and others.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnoses of non-involuting congenital hemangioma (NICH) in children.

METHODSThe clinical, morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics of 22 cases of NICH were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSThe mean patients' age at diagnosis was 4.2 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.75:1. The tumors were located in the head and face (5 cases), neck (3 cases), body (6 cases), upper limbs (5 cases), and lower limbs (3 cases). Histologically, the tumor was dominated by rather large lobules of small vessels that were mostly rounded, curved, small and thin-walled, and were lined by endothelial cells surrounded by one or more layers of pericytes. The center of the lobules was occupied by one or more thin or thick walled vessels, which were surrounded by fibrous and fatty tissue, which contained abnormal arterial and venous structures. At the edge of the lobules there were lymphatic vessels. Immunohsitochemical study showed that tumor cells in NICH were positive for CD34 (22/22), CD31 (22/22), SMA (22/22), vimentin (22/22) and Glut1 (0/22). D2-40 expression was located at the edge of the capillary lobules.

CONCLUSIONSNICH is a benign lesion. Clinically and pathologically, it needs to be differentiated from rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma, infantile hemangiomas, tufted angioma, vascular malformation, and others.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the bacterial communities of biting midges and ticks collected from three sites in the Poyang Lake area,namely,Qunlu Practice Base,Peach Blossom Garden,and Huangtong Animal Husbandry,and whether vectors carry any bacterial pathogens that may cause diseases to humans,to provide scientific basis for prospective pathogen discovery and disease prevention and control. Methods Using a metataxonomics approach in concert with full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing and operational phylogenetic unit(OPU)analysis,we characterized the species-level microbial community structure of two important vector species,biting midges and ticks,including 33 arthropod samples comprising 3,885 individuals,collected around Poyang Lake. Results A total of 662 OPUs were classified in biting midges,including 195 known species and 373 potentially new species,and 618 OPUs were classified in ticks,including 217 known species and 326 potentially new species.Surprisingly,OPUs with potentially pathogenicity were detected in both arthropod vectors,with 66 known species of biting midges reported to carry potential pathogens,including Asaia lannensis and Rickettsia bellii,compared to 50 in ticks,such as Acinetobacter lwoffii and Staphylococcus sciuri.We found that Proteobacteria was the most dominant group in both midges and ticks.Furthermore,the outcomes demonstrated that the microbiota of midges and ticks tend to be governed by a few highly abundant bacteria.Pantoea sp7 was predominant in biting midges,while Coxiella sp1 was enriched in ticks.Meanwhile,Coxiella spp.,which may be essential for the survival of Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann,were detected in all tick samples.The identification of dominant species and pathogens of biting midges and ticks in this study serves to broaden our knowledge associated to microbes of arthropod vectors. Conclusion Biting midges and ticks carry large numbers of known and potentially novel bacteria,and carry a wide range of potentially pathogenic bacteria,which may pose a risk of infection to humans and animals.The microbial communities of midges and ticks tend to be dominated by a few highly abundant bacteria.

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in Hainan province. Methods: Automatic microbial identification system of Vitek 2 compact was used for the preliminary identification of 16 brucellosis cases in Hainan province from 2012 to 2017, and further confirmation was performed with traditional biological typing methods. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the patients were analyzed in combination with the results of serological and etiological tests for raised livestock. Results: Vitek 2 compact detection results showed that 12 strains were Brucella (B.) melitensis and 4 strains were Ochrobactrum anthropi. Traditional biological typing methods showed that 11 strains were B. melitensis biovar 3 and 5 strains were B. suis biovar 3. Sixteen cases were found in Dongfang, Lingao, Haikou, Wanning, Ledong and Ding’an with 1 case in 2012, 2 cases in 2013, 4 cases in 2014, 1 case in 2015, 2 cases in 2016 and 6 cases in 2017 respectively. At the same time, 745 sheep serum samples from the epidemic area (Dongfang) were collected for Brucella serum antibody detection, in which 47 were positive (6.3%). And B. melitensis biovar 3 was isolated from samples collected from sick sheep in Dongfang. Conclusions Vitek 2 compact is an simple and convenient method for Brucella identification, but it cannot replace traditional biological typing methods yet. The major epidemic strains of Brucella in Hainan were B. melitensis biovar 3 and B. suis biovar 3. The epidemic of brucellosis in Dongfang in 2017 indicated that brucellosis had spread from animal to human in Hainan, and it is very important to strengthen the prevention and control of brucellosis in Hainan.
