For the purpose of determining the time of death,the life history (the growth and development) and the sum of effective temperature of Lucilia Sericata were studied under the ordinary temperature. On the bases of the growth and development of the fly ,we have established three linear regression equations between the sum of effective temperature and the length of larvae or weigth pupa of Lucilia Sericata (K 1=2 0880+0 8014X 1、K 2=54 0917-2 8814X 2、K 3=133 2180-2 6312X 3).These linear regression equations provide a reliable,scientific method for estimating the time of death in forensic medicine practice.

Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy of renal transplantation from donors of donation after brain death (DBD) complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods Fifty-nine DBD donors successfully undergoing renal transplantation were recruited in this investigation. According to the Scr level upon admission of intensive care unit (ICU), DBD donors were divided into the AKI group (n=14) and control group (n=45). A total of 101 recipients were assigned into the AKI group (n=23) and control group (n=78) correspondingly. The organ donation conditions of 59 donors were summarized. Main parameters of the donors before organ procurement were statistically compared between two groups. Postoperative kidney function, hospitalization condition and clinical outcomes of the recipients were statistically compared between two groups. Results Among 59 donors, 14 cases (24%) suffered from AKI. Two donors received continuous renal replacement therapy during organ maintenance. Compared with the donors in the control group, the APACHE Ⅱ score of the donors was significantly higher (P<0.05), the incidence of central diabetes insipidus was considerably higher (P<0.01), the Scr levels at admission of ICU and before organ procurement were significantly higher (both P<0.01) and the amount of urine at 24 h before organ procurement was dramatically less in the AKI group (P<0.01).Compared with the recipients in the control group, the Scr levels at postoperative 2 and 3 d were significantly higher (both P<0.05), the length of hospital stay was considerably longer (P<0.01) and the hospitalization expanse was significantly higher in the AKI group (P<0.05). No statistical significance was observed in the postoperative delayed recovery of renal graft function, incidence of acute rejection, infection and rehabilitation dialysis in the recipients between two groups (all P>0.05). At 3 months after transplantation, the recipients in two groups were discharged and the graft survival rate was 100%. Conclusions For renal transplantation from DBD donors complicated with AKI, active measures should be taken to maintain the organ and relieve the AKI, which yields similar clinical efficacy to renal transplantation from non-AKI donors and widens the origin of kidney graft.

ObjectiveTo investigate the population with an advantage of clinical cure previously treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs), and to provide more methods for clinicians in pursuing the clinical cure of hepatitis B. MethodsA total of 42 chronic hepatitis B patients with low-level HBsAg who received NAs treatment in Hebi Third People’s Hospital from October 2017 to October 2019 were enrolled as subjects and divided into combination treatment group (group A) and NA monotherapy group (group B). The 22 subjects in group A were treated with NAs combined with PEG-IFN antiviral therapy for 48 weeks, and some patients withdrew from PEG-IFN after 24 weeks and continued to receive NA monotherapy, while the 20 subjects in group B received NA antiviral therapy alone. Both groups were observed till week 48, and the five makers for hepatitis B were measured to evaluate clinical outcome. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to perform a multivariate analysis. ResultsCompared with group B at the 48-week treatment endpoint, group A had significantly higher HBsAg clearance rate (45.5% vs 0, P<0.01) and HBsAg seroconversion rate (31.8% vs 0, P<0.01). The population with HBsAg <1000 IU/ml, <500 IU/ml, <100 IU/ml, and <10 IU/ml had an HBsAg clearance rate of 52.6%, 61.5%, 66.7%, and 100%, respectively, and the population with an HBsAg level of 500-1000 IU/ml, 100-500 IU/ml, 10-100 IU/ml, and <10 IU/ml had an HBsAg clearance rate of 33.3%, 50%, 40%, and 100%, respectively. The 4 patients with baseline HBsAg <10 IU/ml (accounting for 18.2% in group A) achieved clinical cure at week 12 of combined treatment, and after observation to week 48, 2 patients had an anti-HBs level of >100 IU/ml and 2 had an anti-HBs level of >1000 IU/ml. The multivariate logistic regression analysis of HBsAg clearance showed that age at the initiation of combined treatment affected HBsAg clearance (odds ratio [OR]=0.877, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.781-0.985, P=0.026), and most of the patients with HBsAg clearance had an age of 36-49 (44.20±4.49) years; baseline HBsAg level also had an impact on HBsAg clearance (OR=0.996, 95% CI: 0.992-1.000, P=0.050). ConclusionThe addition of interferon therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients with low-level HBsAg previously treated with NAs can significantly improve the clinical cure rate. The younger the age and the lower the HBsAg level, the shorter the duration of combined treatment. Age and baseline HBsAg level are more important than the duration and type of NA medication.
