Objective:To find effective methods to improve the distribution and usage efficiency of pre-hospital epidemic emergency care resource (PEECR) by analyzing the PEECR allocation and usage in Jinan City during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.Methods:Correlation significance test between the COVID-19 epidemiology sample and the PEECR allocation sample was conducted to estimate whether they came from the same population in Jinan from January 24 to June 30, 2020. The data used in empirical analysis were collected from the Health Commission of Shandong Province's daily epidemic information announcement (definite case increment, suspected case increment, suspected case stock, medical observation stock, close contact increment) and interview with some epidemic branch centers in Jinan City (vehicle using increment). Experiential analysis was used to analyze the waste of PEECR usage.Results:All the 5 COVID-19 epidemiology samples and the PEECR allocation sample came from different population. There was no correlation between the vehicle using increment and definite case increment, suspected case increment, suspected case stock, close contact increment (all P < 0.05), there was a weak correlation between the vehicle using increment and medical observation stock [the correlation coefficient was 0.048, ∈ (0.0, 0.2), P = 0.550]. There was systematic difference between PEECR indicator and COVID-19 epidemiology indicator. The waste in practice was also amplified by improper usage such as unsophisticated allocation, low effectiveness in primary units and unvalid emergency calling. Conclusions:① A primary screening system should be established in control center to decrease the waste of efficiency. ② Communities and units should improve overall epidemic dealing ability to assist emergency system. ③ The medical treatment ability and protection resource should be increased in normal pre-hospital care.

Objective To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of coronary CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve(CT-FFR)in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 1133 patients with clinically suspected CHD from a prospective observational study based on coronary CTA and CT-FFR at the General Hos-pital of Eastern Theater from April 2018 to March 2019,and 330 elderly CHD patients were even-tually included.According to major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)occurred or not,295 patients were assigned into non-MACE group and 35 patients into the MACE group.Based on cor-onary CTA data,plaque features were analyzed and CT-FFR values were measured in all lesioned vessels.The relationship of plaque features and CT-FFR with MACE was evaluated by using Cox proportional risk regression model,Kaplan-Meier survival curve,and ROC curve analyses.Results The patients with coronary stenosis(≥50％)or CT-FFR value ≤0.8 had a higher risk of MACE(P＜0.01).Univariate Cox analysis showed that coronary stenosis ≥50％and CT-FFR value 0.8 were risk factors of MACE(P＜0.01).After adjusting confounding factors,multivariate Cox analysis indicated that CT-FFR ≤0.8(HR=17.037,95％CI:5.060-57.358,P=0.000)was only independent predictor for MACE.The risk prediction model based on CT-FFR presented better performance than the model based on coronary CTA stenosis(C-index:0.820 vs 0.696,P=0.000).Conclusion CT-FFR≤0.8 is an important independent predictor for long-term MACE in elderly CHD patients.Clinical risk stratification based on CT-FFR may optimize prognostic man-agement strategies in these patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate in vitro activities of 12 antimicrobial agents including cefmetazole against extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli(528 strains),Klebsiella pneumoniae(311 strains) and Proteus mirabilis(15 strains).METHODS They all collected from 15 teaching hospitals in China during 2005 and 2006 and included in the study.The levels of minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of 12 antimicrobial agents were determined by agar dilution method.WHONET 5.4 Software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS Against ESBLs-producing E.coli and ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,carbapenems were the most active antimicrobial agents(all 100.0% susceptible),followed by cephamycins(80.1-97.3%).Piperacillin/tazobactam(78.5-95.1%)showed a higher activity than cefoperazone/sulbactam(44.1-56.2%).The susceptible rate to ceftazidime against ESBLs-producing E.coli was remarkably higher than the other three cephalosporins,however the differences did not happen to ESBL-producing K.pneumoniae obviously.The susceptible rate to cefuroxime was below 1.6%.ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae showed high sensitivity to carbapenems,cephamycins and ?-lactam/lactamase inhibitor combinations(all 100% susceptible),however the susceptible rates to cephalosporins were relatively lower.CONCLUSIONS Carbapenems and cephamycins remain the relatively high activity against ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Objective To evaluate the differential diagnostic value of IVIMGDWI in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)and atypical hepatic hemangioma (H H).Methods 3.0T MR images of 28 patients with HCC and atypical H H confirmed respectively by surgical or pathological diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed.3.0T MR routine and DWI multiple b value sequences were performed,and the related derivative parameters of IVIMGDWI (intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion,MRI)were obtained.GE ADW4.6 Functool automatic postGprocessing software and statistical methods were used for multiGparameters analyses,and the ROC curve was established to predict the value of the differential diagnosis.Results The values of ADC,slow diffusion coefficient (D)and perfusion fraction (PF)between HCC and atypical HH were statistically significant(P＝0.00,P＝0.021 ,P＜0.05 ),that was to say,there were significant differences in IVIMGDWI multiparameter comparisons between the HCC and atypical HH.And the value of fast diffusion coefficient (D?)was not statistically significant between HCC and atypical HH (P＝0.112,P＞0.05),that was to say,there was no significant difference in the multiparameter comparison between the HCC and atypical HH;The specificity and sensitivity of IVIMGDWI in HCC were from high to low:D (97.8%)＞ADC(97.4%)＞PF (82.9%),and the specificity and sensitivity of IVIMGDWI in atypical H H were D (9 7.1%)＞ADC (87.1%)＞PF (6 7.9%),from high to low,while D? was not statistically significant.Conclusion It is characteristic for the imaging manifestation of HCC and atypical HH with IVIMGDWI imaging,that is one of the important methods for clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis of HCC and atypical HH.

Objective:To explore the relationship between geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and modified creatinine index (mCI) and all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. The MHD patients aged≥50 years old at hemodialysis centers of eleven hospitals in Beijing from April to June 2017 were selected as subjects. Baseline clinical data of the patients were collected. The patients were divided into high GNRI group (≥98) and low GNRI group (<98), and high mCI group (≥20.16 mg·kg -1·d -1) and low mCI group (<20.16 mg·kg -1·d -1), and further divided into 4 groups: G1 group (high GNRI and high mCI), G2 group (high GNRI and low mCI), G3 group (low GNRI and high mCI) and G4 group (low GNRI and low mCI). The differences of clinical characteristics among the four groups were compared. The patients were followed-up until June 2018 or death or loss, and the endpoint event was all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the differences of the cumulative survival rates among the four groups. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship between GNRI and mCI and all-cause mortality. Results:A total of 613 patients were included in the study, aged (63.65±7.78) years old (ranged from 50 to 81 years old), with 355 males (57.91%). The GNRI and mCI were (99.35±5.75) and (20.16±2.79) mg·kg -1·d -1, respectively. There were 232 patients (37.85%) in the G1 group, 177 patients (28.87%) in the G2 group, 95 patients (15.50%) in the G3 group, and 109 patients (17.78%) in the G4 group. There were statistically significant differences in age, sex, proportion of diabetes, proportion of coronary heart disease, body mass index, serum albumin and serum creatinine among the four groups (all P<0.05). A total of 69 patients (11.26%) died during a median follow-up time of 52(4, 52) weeks. Kaplan-Meier survival curve results showed that the mortality of patients with low GNRI was higher than that of patients with high GNRI (log-rank χ 2=26.956, P<0.001), and the mortality of patients with low mCI was higher than that of patients with high mCI (log-rank χ 2=25.842, P<0.001). The mortality was 3.45% in group G1, 10.73% in group G2, 9.47% in group G3, and 30.28% in group G4, and the differences among the four groups were statistically significant (log-rank χ 2=57.153, P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that as continuous variables, GNRI ( HR=0.911, 95% CI 0.882-0.941, P<0.001) and mCI ( HR=0.873, 95% CI 0.797-0.956, P=0.003) were correlated with all-cause death. As categorical variables, compared with high GNRI group and high mCI group, patients with low GNRI ( HR=3.469, 95% CI 2.125-5.665, P<0.001) and low mCI ( HR=3.255, 95% CI 1.879-5.640, P<0.001) had higher risks of death. Compared with G1 group, patients in G2 group ( HR=2.488, 95% CI 1.079-5.738, P=0.033) and G4 group ( HR=9.449, 95% CI 4.362-20.470, P<0.001) had higher risks of death. Conclusions:GNRI and mCI are independent predictive factors of all-cause mortality in MHD patients. The combination of GNRI and MCI can more accurately predict the risk of all-cause death in middle-aged and elderly MHD patients.

Objective:To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with all-cause mortality in middle-aged and elderly patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. The clinical data of MHD patients aged ≥50 years old from eleven hemodialysis centers from April to June 2017 in Beijing were analyzed. The patients were divided into low BMI group [body mass index (BMI)<18.5 kg/m 2], normal BMI group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI <24.0 kg/m 2), overweight group (24.0 kg/m 2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m 2) and obesity group (BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2) by BMI, and central obesity group (male ≥85 cm, female ≥80 cm) and normal WC group (male <85 cm, female <80 cm) by WC. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis method was used to compare the difference of all-cause mortality between those groups. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the association of BMI and WC with all-cause mortality. Results:A total of 613 MHD patients were enrolled, with age of (63.82±7.14) years old and 258 (42.09%) females. There were 46 (7.50%) patients in the low BMI group, 303 (49.43%) patients in the normal BMI group, 227 (37.03%) patients in the overweight group and 37 (6.04%) patients in the obesity group. In addition, 346 (56.44%) patients were categorized as central obesity. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that the all-cause mortality rates of low BMI group (log-rank χ2=13.571, P<0.001) and obesity group (log-rank χ2=6.664 P=0.010) were higher than that of normal BMI group, and the all-cause mortality rate of central obesity group was higher than that of normal WC group (log-rank χ2=5.698, P=0.017). Multivariate Cox regression analysis results showed that，besides the low BMI group and obesity group (with normal BMI group as a reference, HR=5.289, 95% CI 2.318-12.067, P<0.001; HR=5.360, 95% CI 2.088-13.760, P<0.001, respectively), normal BMI and overweight combined with central obesity were also independently correlated with all-cause mortality (with normal WC group as a reference, HR=2.605, 95% CI 1.199-5.663, P=0.016; HR=1.787, 95% CI 1.026-3.732, P=0.031, respectively). Conclusions:Lower and higher BMI or combined central obesity are independently associated with all-cause mortality in the middle-aged and elderly patients receiving MHD.

Objective:To explore the feasibility in reconstruction of the muscular power with the superficial part of lateral femoral muscle through anatomical study on the superficial region of lateral femoral muscle.Methods:Studies on 4 sides of lower limbs of 2 cadaver specimen were conducted in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Xi'an Fengcheng Hospital. Intraoperative observations and measurements were further carried out on 21 sides of 21 patients. Muscular fascia in superficial region, muscular gross morphology, thickness, length and width of muscles, length of muscle fibres and pinnate angles of muscle surface were observed and measured. Both blood vessels and nerves in the muscle were separated to measured.Results:The superficial region of lateral femoral muscle was in a shape of fusiform and started from the greater trochanter and ended at the patella and rectus femoris, with the fascia at proximal end and the muscle of distal end. The inferior muscle fibres of the fascia were arranged in sequence and ended at the deep fascia from proximal to distal. Mean muscle thickness was measured at 1.96 cm±0.48 cm, and mean pinnate angle was of 18.9°±3.3°. The superficial region was found being distributed by the descending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery(LCFA) and the second branch of femoral nerve, and they accompanied each other. At 5.0 cm from the point of entry to the muscle, the diameter of the vessels was measured at 2.39 mm±0.52 mm, and the diameter of nerves was at 2.64 mm±0.61 mm. Both of arteries and nerves further branched out anteriorly and posteriorly in 1.0-1.5 cm intervals after having entered the muscle. At 0 - 2.5 cm away from the muscle entry point, a larger branch was often running posteriorly into the muscle, and this branch appears on all 4-sided specimens. While the occurrence rate in the 21 sides of patients observed in operations was of 90.5%, with a transverse diameter at 1.23 mm±0.28 mm.Conclusion:The superficial region of lateral femoral muscle is dominated by independent vessels and nerves and there are many branches from superior vessels and nerves, which form an anatomical basis for one or more muscular flaps.

Objective To determine the effect of crocin regulating miR-139-5p/ATF4 axis on myo-cardial injury and energy metabolism in rats with CHF.Methods A total of 84 male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,crocin low-,medium-and high-dose groups,captopril group and crocin+miR-139-5p inhibitor group,with 12 in each group.Car-diac function indexes,myocardial histomathological morphology,apoptotic rate,myocardial injury indexes,heart failure indexes,inflammatory indexes,oxidative stress indexes,myocardial ATP content,SDH activity,and miR-139-5p and ATF4 mRNA expression levels were detected in rats.The targeting relationship between miR-139-5p and ATF4 was verified.Results Compared with the conditions in the model group,crocin treatment at different doses reduced apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes,decreased MDA content,LVEDD and LVESD values and cTnI,cTnT,CK-MB,NT-proBNP,TNF-α and IL-1β levels,and declined ATF4 mRNA level,and increased LVEF and LVFS values,SOD activity,ATP content,SDH activity and miR-139-5p level(P＜0.05).Com-pared with the crocin high-dose group,the crocin+miR-139-5p inhibitor group had higher apop-totic rate of cardiomyocytes[(22.68±3.25)％vs(11.94±1.38)％,P＜0.05],increased LVEDD and LVESD value,raised MAD content and cTnI,cTnT,CK-MB,NT-proBNP,TNF-α and IL-1βlevel,and elecated ATF4 mRNA level,and decreased LVEF and LVFS value,SOD activity,ATP content,SDH activity and miR-139-5p level(P＜0.05).There was a targeting relationship be-tween miR-139-5p and ATF4.Conclusion Crocin can improve myocardial injury and energy me-tabolism in CHF rats,which may be related to its regulation of miR-139-5p/ATF4 axis.
