OBJECTIVE To know more clearly about the situation of Hepatitis B virus markers in clinical medical workers and take further interventional strategies to protect high risk medical workers.METHODS Hepatitis B virus markers in doctors,nurses and medical checkers who have contacted with patients′ blood,body fluid,or other occupational hazard situation,were detected by of ELISA.RESULTS Among the 587 medical workers detected,311 were with deficiency of active immunity(52.98%),196 were HBV infectors(33.39%).CONCLUSIONS Medical workers are in high risk groups of HBV infection.Medical institutions should attend to their self-protection and encourage them to take HBV vaccine to prevent iatrogenic transmission.

Background and purpose: Metastatic carcinoma and lymphoma are usually the causes of cervical malignant lymph nodes. This paper was aimed to investigate the different appearances of cervical malignant lymph nodes by 2 dimension and color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and discuss the role of ultrasenography in diagnosing cervical malignant lymph nodes. Methods: Ninety-nine patients and 40 healthy people were selected as our subjects, among which 54 cases were diagnased as metastatic tumor and 45 cases as lymphoma according to pathology examination. With high frequency transducers, ultrasonography was used to document the shape of cervical lymph nodes, the ratio of long/short axis (L/S), types of echo and hilus of lymph node. CDFI features were also recorded and measured in order to analyze the parameters. Results: Compared with image of normal lymph nodes, the image of cervical malignant lymph nodes showed that the shape tended to be round and the ratio of L/S decreased. In addition, the majority of echo types of malignant lymph nodes was a low level echo and easily became fused. Meanwhile, the image of hilus of lymph node tended to disappear or shift. The lymph node of cases with metastatic tumor was shown to be either calcified or liquefied. The rate of blood flow in the artery was observed to be of high velocity and high resistive index (RI). Between metastatic tumor and lymphoma tumor case, there was significant difference in terms of ultrasonographic and CDFI features. All the above results showed that the features of malignant lymph nodes were significantly different from the normal ones. Conclusion: Ultrasonography could be regarded as one method of evaluating cervical malignant lymph nodes.

Objective To evaluate the effect of edaravone on myocardial injury in patients undergoing offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).Methods Forty ASA physical status Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients,aged 45-64 yr,weighing 55-95 kg,with NYHA class Ⅱ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective OPCABG,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20):edaravone group (group E) and control group (group C).After induction of anesthesia,edaravone 60 mg (in 100 ml of normal saline) was infused over 30 min in group E,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of edaravone in group C.Venous blood samples were taken before operation (T1),after skin incision (T2),at the end of operation (T3),and at 24 h after operation (T4) to measure the serum levels of myocardial enzymes and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI).The time for ventilator treatment,duration of stay in the intensive care unit and duration of stay in hospital were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the activities of serum creatine kinase,creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB,aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase and cTnI concentrations were significantly increased at T3 and T4 (P ＜ 0.05) and no significant changes were found at T1 in group E (P ＞ 0.05).The parameters mentioned above were significantly higher at T3 and T4 than at T1 in the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The time for ventilator treatment,duration of stay in the intensive care unit and duration of stay in hospital were significantly shortened in group E as compared with group C (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Edaravone 60 mg infused before OPCABG can provide effective myocardial protection in patients.

Objective To investigate the risk of emergency cesarean section during labor with the pre-pregnancy body mass index or gestational weight gain.Methods A total of 6 908 healthy nullipara with singleton pregnancy and cephalic presentation who was in term labor in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from August 1st,2014 to September 30th,2015 were recruited.They were divided into two groups,the vaginal delivery group (92.88％,6 416/6 908) and the emergency cesarean section group (7.12％,492/6 908).According to WHO body mass index (BMI) classification criteria and the pre-pregnancy BMI,the 6 908 women were divided into three groups,the underweight group(BMI＜18.5 kg/m2;17.39％,1 201/6 908),the normal weight group(18.5-24.9 kg/m2;73.00％,5 043/6 908),the overweight and obese group (≥ 25.0 kg/m2;9.61％,664/6 908).According to the guidelines of Institute of Medicine (IOM),they were divided into three groups,the inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) group (16.72％,1 155/6 908),the appropriate GWG group (43.11％,2 978/6 908),the excessive GWG group (40.17％,2 775/6 908).Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) of the risk of emergency cesarean section were calculated by bivariate logistic regression.Results (1) Comparing to the vaginal delivery group,women in the emergency cesarean section group were older,with a lower education level.Their prepregnancy BMI was higer and had more gestational weight gain.They had higher morbidity of pregnancy induced hypertension and gestational diabetes mellitus.Comparing to the vaginal delivery group,the neonates in the emergency cesarean section group were elder in gestational week,with higher birth weight.More male infants and large for gestation age infants were seen in the emergency cesarean section group (all P ＜ 0.05).(2) Overweight and obesity were associated with the increased risk of emergency cesarean section for nullipara,with the unadjusted OR of 1.98 (95％CI:1.54-2.54),adjusted OR(aOR) of 1.66 (95％CI:1.27-2.16).In the inadequate GWG group and the excessive GWG group,overweight and obese women had increased risk of emergency cesarean section,with adjusted OR of 2.33 (95％CI:1.06-5.14) and 1.62 (95％CI:1.44-2.28),respectively.In the appropriate GWG group,there was no significant difference in the risk of emergency cesarean section between the overweight and obese women and the normal weight women,with aOR of 1.54 (95％CI:0.94-2.54).The underweight group was associated with decreased risk of emergency cesarean section (OR=0.55,95％CI:0.40-0.74;aOR=0.66,95％ CI:0.48-0.90).While no significant difference in the risk of emergency cesarean section was found between the underweight women,the overweight and obese women,with the aOR of 0.31 (95％CI:0.07-1.32),0.73 (95％CI:0.48-1.10),0.66 (95％CI:0.38-1.12),respectively.(3) Absolute value of gestational weight gain was associated with the increased risk of emergency cesarean section,(aOR=1.03,95％CI:1.01-1.05).GWG above IOM giudelines did not independently affect the risk of emergency cesarean section (OR=1.30,95％CI:1.07-1.58;aOR=1.01,95％CI:0.82-1.24).In the underweight group,the normal weight group and the overweight or obese group,the excessive GWG women and the appropriate GWG women had no significant difference in the risk of emergency cesarean section (aOR=1.03,95％CI:0.55-1.12;aOR=1.02,95％CI:0.80-1.30;aOR=1.03,95％ CI:0.59-1.78),respectively.GWG below IOM giudelines was associated with decreased risk of emergency cesarean section (OR=0.62,95％ CI:0.45-0.85;aOR=0.64,95％ CI:0.46-0.88).In the underweight group and the overweight or obese group,there was no significant difference in the emergency cesarean section risk between the inadequate GWG women and the appropriate GWG within women (aOR=0.24,95％CI:0.06-1.01;aOR=0.90,95％CI:0.40-2.04).In the normal weight group,the inadequate GWG women had lower risk of emergency cesarean section (aOR=0.65,95％ CI:0.45-0.95).Conclusions Overweight and obese women have increased risk of emergency cesarean section.The prepregnancy BMI is supposed to be an appropriate level.Absolute value of gestational weight gain is associated with increased risk of emergency cesarean section.There is no correlation between the excessive GWG and the risk of emergency cesarean section.

To assess the ability of the previously selected human vaginal isolates of Lactobacillus crispatus (L. crispatus) T79-3, T90-1 and Lactobacillus jensenii (L. jensenii) T118-3, T231-1 to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and block their adhesion to HeLa cells. The inhibitory bioactive substances produced by these Lactobacillus were also identified. Inhibitory substances interaction tests were carried out by using a streak-diffusion method on agar plates. Three types of interaction were performed to determine the inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus on adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus to HeLa cells: Exclusion Group (Lactobacillus and HeLa followed by pathogens), Competition Group (Lactobacillus, HeLa and pathogens together) and Displacement Group (pathogens and HeLa followed by the addition of Lactobacillus). The number of HeLa cells adhered to Staphylococcus aureus was quantified by bacteria colony counts on LB plate. The results showed that lactic acids produced by the Lactobacillus are the main substances that can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth and there is variation among the three types of interaction regarding the inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The effects of Lactobacillus on blocking the adhesion to HeLa cells were concentration dependent. All four Lactobacillus isolates displayed the ability to inhibit Staphylococcus aureus growth and block Staphylococcus aureus adherence to HeLa cells. Exclusion Group was the most effective, and T79-3 showed greater capacity to block Staphylococcus aureus adherence compared with the other three isolates. The present study suggests the potential ability of L. crispatus T79-3 as probiotic for the treatment and prevention of urogenital infections in women.

Objective:To analyze the pregnancy complications and outcomes in adolescent women in minority areas in China and the factors affecting the pregnancy outcomes.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled 697 singleton pregnant women who were younger than 20 years old and delivered at Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County People's Hospital of Liuzhou City from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018, as the case group. Meanwhile, 2 592 cases aged between 20 to 25 years and delivered during the same period were selected as the control group in an allocation ratio of 1∶4. Chi-square test, t test and binary logistic regression were used for comparing the differences of general characteristics, pregnancy complications, comorbidities and pregnancy outcomes between the two groups. Results:(1) The body mass index before delivery of the case group was lower than that of the control group [(24.7±3.4) vs (25.1±3.1) kg/m 2, t=－2.062, P=0.039]. The proportion of Dong minority was accounted for 48.06%(335/697) in the case group and 52.04%(1 349/2 592) in the control group. The proportion of women with junior school education or lower was higher in the case group than that in the control group [95.41% (665/697) vs 90.27% (2 340/2 592), χ2=45.086, P<0.001]. (2) The case group was noted for higher incidence of anemia [24.25% (169/697) vs 15.20% (394/2 592), χ2=31.683], premature delivery [7.17% (50/697) vs 4.55% (118/2 592), χ2=7.786], premature rupture of membranes [13.34% (93/697) vs 9.10% (237/2 592), χ2=10.731] and oligohydramnios [9.76% (68/697) vs 7.02% (182/2 592), χ2=5.848] than the control group (all P<0.05). (3) The incidence of cesarean section [27.26% (190/697) vs 38.04% (986/2 592), χ2=27.791, P<0.001] and the neonatal birth weight [(3 047.29±453.46) vs (3 131.01±472.44) g, t=－4.188, P<0.001] in the case group were lower, but the incidence of episiotomy [40.17% (280/697) vs 8.72% (226/2 592)] and the proportion of neonatal intensive care unit admission[10.76% (75/697) vs 3.82% (99/2 592)] were higher when comparing to the control group ( χ2=417.439 and 52.816, both P<0.001). (4) Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of cesarean section ( aOR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.51-0.75) was reduced in adolescent women, but the risks of episiotomy ( aOR=6.20, 95% CI: 4.99-7.71) and neonatal intensive care unit admission ( aOR=2.68, 95% CI: 1.92-3.75) increased. Conclusions:Most of the pregnant adolescents are less-educated and ethnic minorities in this study, among which the Dong minority was predominant. Adolescent pregnancies are at a higher risk of anemia, preterm birth and premature rupture of membranes. Therefore, enhanced perinatal management of adolescent pregnancy is recommended to reduce adverse pregnancy outcome.

Objective To compare the effect of quadratus lumborum block at supra-arcuate ligament(SA-QLB)and erector spinae plane block(ESPB)on postoperative analgesia and recovery quality in the pa-tients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods Sixty patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery,aged 18-70 years old,ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ,served as the study subjects and were randomly divided into the two groups by the random number table method:SA-QLB group(group Q,n=30)and ESPB(group E,n=30).Before induction of general anesthesia,the group Q conducted SA-QLB in the operation side under the ultra-sound guide and the group E conducted ESPB,the both were given 30 mL of 0.25％ropivacaine.All patients in both groups were given the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)after surgery.The dosage of remifentanil during surgery,recovery time,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score at rest and cough at 1,6,12,24,48 h after surgery,first pressing time of patient-controlled analgesia,times of effective pressing,dosage of sufentanil and number of cases of rescue analgesia at 24 h after surgery,forced vital capacity(FVC)and forced expiratory volume first second(FEV1)at 1 h before surgery and 24 h after surgery,scores of quality recovery at postoperative 24 h(QoR-15)and Barthel score,hospitalization duration after operation and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with the group E,the intraoperative remifentanil dos-age in the group Q was decreased(P＜0.05);the VAS scores in rest and cough at postoperative 6,12,24 h were decreased(P＜0.05);the first pressing time of postoperative analgesia pump in the group Q was pro-longed,number of effective pressures of analgesia pump,dosage of sufentanil and cases number of remedy an-algesia were decreased(P＜0.05);FEV1 and FVC at postoperative 24 h in the group Q were significantly in-creased(P＜0.05);the scores of QoR-15 and Barthel at postoperative 24 h were increased(P＜0.05).The in-cidence rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting in the group Q were lower than those in the group E(P＜0.05),and no serious adverse events occurred in the two groups.Conclusion Compared with ESPB,SA-QLB could provide more perfect postoperative analgesia effect,which is conducive to postoperative early pulmonary function recovery,and the postoperative recovery quality is higher.

We selected and characterized isolates of Lactobacillus crispatus (L. crispatus) for potential preventing infections of the female reproductive tract. We cultured vaginal swabs from healthy volunteers on de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) agar and identified the isolates at the species level by 16S rRNA sequence and genotyped the isolates of Lactobacillus by PCR amplification of repetitive bacterial DNA elements (rep-PCR). Furthermore, 10 L. crispatus strains were assessed for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and acid production. Overall 65 isolates were confirmed to be Lactobacillus by sequence analogy, among them 19 were L. crispatus, 17 were Lactobacillus jensenii and 12 were Lactobacillus fermentum. rep-PCR produced specie and strain-specific genomic fingerprints for the Lactobacillus isolates. The selected 10 L. crispatus isolates produced highly acidic environment after growth in MRS. The isolates T22-3 and T29-5 demonstrated high production of H2O2. This study indicated that there are individual differences with vaginal Lactobacillus colonization, and strain diversity within vaginal L. crispatus isolates, T22-3 and T29-5 might be candidates for restoring urogenital health environment in females.

Objective:To analyze the influence of serological indexes on the liver cirrhosis (LC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:The clinical data of 220 patients with chronic hepatitis B in Xianning Central Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 42 patients developed LC (LC group), and 178 cases did not develop LC (non-LC group). The patient′s fasting peripheral venous blood was taken in the morning. The platelet, red blood cell, white blood cell, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC), total bilirubin (TBiL), albumin, globulin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), D-dimer (D-D), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were detected. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of each index in predicting LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The R software "rms" package was used to construct a nomogram model to predict the LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B, the correction curve was used to internally verify the prediction model, and the decision curve evaluated the efficacy of the prediction model.Results:The TBiL, ALP, GGT, PT, TT, D-D, AFP and CRP in LC group were significantly higher than those in non-LC group: (50.57 ± 5.61) μmol/L vs. (46.69 ± 3.92) μmol/L, (105.23 ± 30.60) U/L vs. (75.14 ± 26.45) U/L, (68.73 ± 19.47) U/L vs. (50.39 ± 14.21) U/L, (13.88 ± 1.98) s vs. (13.01 ± 2.10) s, (18.88 ± 2.56) s vs. (15.98 ± 2.43) s, (2.62 ± 1.04) mg/L vs. (1.34 ± 0.63) mg/L, (4.19 ± 1.95) μg/L vs. (2.66 ± 1.21) μg/L and (8.54 ± 1.22) mg/L vs. (7.47 ± 0.79) mg/L, the platelet, ALT, AST and albumin were significantly lower than those in the non-LC group: (129.63 ± 32.66) × 10 9/L vs. (183.53 ± 56.31) ×10 9/L, (131.27 ± 22.19) U/L vs. (157.57 ± 38.67) U/L, (112.76 ± 19.57) U/L vs. (125.16 ± 21.84) U/L and (29.79 ± 6.17) g/L vs. (33.52 ± 5.89) g/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical differences in red blood cell, white blood cell, fasting blood glucose, TG, TC and globulin between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of AFP, platelet, ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, TBiL, albumin, D-D, CRP, PT and TT for predicting LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B were 0.731, 0.798, 0.723, 0.676, 0.766, 0.762, 0.710, 0.673, 0.856, 0.759, 0.603 and 0.786, and the optimal cut-off values were 4.64 μg/L, 162.56 × 10 9/L, 155.67 U/L, 122.37 U/L, 95.17 U/L, 68.96 U/L, 49.95 μmol/L, 28.8 g/L, 1.64 mg/L, 8.55 mg/L, 12 s and 18 s. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that AFP (>4.64 μg/L), platelet (≤162.56 × 10 9/L), ALP (>95.17 U/L), GGT (>68.96 U/L), D-D (>1.64 mg/L) and TT (>18 s) were independent risk factors for LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B ( OR = 1.278, 1.428, 1.488, 1.356, 1.513 and 1.369; 95% CI 1.109 to 1.369, 1.269 to 1.623, 1.217 to 1.894, 1.127 to 1.669, 1.342 to 1.878 and 1.169 to 1.583; P<0.05 or <0.01). The AFP, platelet, ALP, GGT, D-D and TT were used as predictors to construct a nomogram model for predicting the LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The correction curve of the nomogram model to predict the LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B was close to the ideal curve (C-index was 0.739, 95% CI 0.615 to 0.876); the decision curve analysis result showed that the prediction model had higher clinical net benefit when the risk threshold > 0.26 than a single index, and that it had significantly additional clinical net benefit. Conclusions:The AFP, platelets, ALP, GGT, D-D and TT are independent risk factors for LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B, and the nomogram model constructed based on these factors could provide important guidance for the prevention and treatment of LC in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
