Objective To investigate the effect of Gardiner bacteria infection on preterm delivery and changes of endocrine hor-mone levels.Methods Application of Gardiner bacteria fluorescent marker detection kit in 120 cases of suspected Gardiner bacteria infection pregnant women with immunofluorescence assay,and the levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH),estradiol (E2),progesterone (P)were measured at the same time,90 cases of non maternal Gardiner bacteria infec-tion were enrolled as control.Results After the treatment,98 cases of pregnant women with Gardiner bacteria infection should ex-perienced premature delivery (24-37 week),accounted for 81.67%,compared with the normal pregnant women were statistically significant (P <0.05);and 22 cases of Gardiner bacteria infection pregnant women after treatment no premature birth,accounted for 18.33%,and to all pregnant women infected Gardiner bacteria and experiencing preterm delivery and the control group levels of endocrine hormone were determined,compared the results of FSH,LH,found no significant differences(P >0.05),E2 increased,P decreased,changed significantly (P <0.05 ).Conclusion The probability of premature delivery in women infected with Gardiner bacteria is significantly higher than that of normal pregnant women,at the same time the secretion of hormone changes,so dealing with pre pregnancy and early pregnancy should carry owt Gardiner bacteria examination.

Objective:To explore the value of FilmArray meningitis/encephalitis(ME)Panel in etiological diagnosis of infection in central nervous system(CNS) in Chinese children.Methods:Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)obtained through lumbar puncture was collected from 145 patients with suspected CNS infection at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from March 2019 to November 2019.All specimens were cultured simultaneously, which were detected by FilmArray ME Panel, and the results of cerebrospinal fluid culture and FilmArray ME Panel were compared.Results:Among 145 patients with suspected CNS infection, three samples were found to be positive after cerebrospinal fluid culture, and the positive rate was 2.1%(3/145). For the FilmArray ME Panel, 30 specimens were found to be positive, with a positive rate of 20.7%(30/145), and the difference of positive rate between the two methods was statistically significant( χ2=24.927, P<0.05). Among the samples FilmArray ME Panel tested positive with pathogen, 26 specimens were positive with virus making up 17.9%(26/145)and enterovirus(15.2%)was the primary pathogen.In addition, of the 142 specimens cerebrospinal fluid culture negative, 28 samples were tested positive by the FilmArray ME Panel, accounting for 19.7%(28/142). Conclusion:FilmArray ME Panel has the characteristics with high positive rate and could be time-saving.Meanwhile, FilmArray ME Panel has significant advantage in the detection of virus and improves the positive detection rate of virus.
