To evaluate the influence of 3- and 5-megapixel medical professional monitors in detecting the micro-calcifications on high- and low-resolution breast images, we performed a retrospective study in low- (n = 100) and high-resolution (n = 100) data, including 40 micro-calcification patients in a group and 60 normal ones in control group respectively. Two doctors, one junior, and the other senior, reviewed all the images without knowing the clinical data and histology, and their observations of each image with different monitors were calculated. The areas under the ROC curves (Az) were compared. Finally, the interpretation consistency of the two doctors was assessed using Kappa analysis. In the low resolution data group, the two doctors' detection performance of breast micro-calcifications were very similar in the 3M and 5M medical professional monitors (P = 0.451 and 0.559). In the high resolution group, however, the senior doctor's recognition rate on the 5M monitor was significantly higher than that on the 3M (P = 0.022), while the junior's recognition rate had no significant difference (P = 0.141) between the two readings. The two doctors' interpretation consistency on 5M monitor was better than that on 3M monitor. For the high-resolution images on the 5M monitor, the interpretation of the two doctors had extremely great consistency (K = 0.862). Therefore, different breast images of different resolutions should match corresponding resolution monitor. Interpretation of high-resolution images with 5M monitor has more advantages in the micro-calcification detection for senior doctors.

Objective To investigate the effects of skin/muscle incision and retraction(SMIR)on mechanical paw withdrawal threshold and the ability of spatial learning and memory in immature rats after adulthood. Methods 27 male SD rats aged 3 weeks and weighing 60 ~ 80 g were randomly divided into 3 groups(n = 9):control group(group C),sham operation group(group Sham)and skin/muscle incision and retraction group (group SMIR). Group SMIR received operation for skin/muscle incision and retraction. Sham group received skin/muscle incision but no retraction.No surgery was operated on C group. Pain behavior was assessed by mechanical paw withdrawal threshold(MWT)to von Frey filament stimulation before and 1,3,7,12,22 and 32 days after operation.The effects of spatial learning and memory function were assessed by Morris water-maze test at 33 days after operation. Results Mechanical paw withdrawal threshold of group SMIR decreased 1 day after operation (P<0.05)and showed no significant difference before and 3,7,12,22,32 days after operation in 3 groups(P >0.05). In Morris water-maze test,compared with Sham and C group,the average escape latency in SMIR was sig-nificantly longer in the water maze navigation experiment(P < 0.01);the ratios of time and path in the quadrant of the platform were obviously lower in SMIR(P < 0.01). There was no statistical difference between sham and C group(P>0.05).Conclusion SMIR did not cause chronic pain but may cause a decrease in the ability of spatial learning and memory in immature rats.

Objective:Constructing a physical fitness test index system for pregnant women to fully understand their physical fitness level and provide a reference for exercise prescription for this population.Methods:The system was established by way of literature review and Delphi survey, which was further validated on 60 pregnant women undergoing prenatal examination at Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Beijing Haidian District from November 7, 2019, to January 7, 2020. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction of pregnant women with the process and results of the physical fitness test. The test and survey data adopted the descriptive analysis. Paired sample t test was used for statistical analysis. Results:The index system of maternal physical fitness test during pregnancy was established through three rounds of expert discussion, and consists of three first-level indexes, 11 second-level indexes, and 23 third-level indexes. All 60 subjects completed the test successfully and no complaints or discomfort were reported. There was no significant difference in the fetal heart rate before and after the test [(142.1±3.8) vs (142.1±4.5) bpm; t=-0.025, P=0.980]. The average test duration was (32.6±3.4) min, and the average load consumption was (300.1±41.2) kcal (1 kcal=4.184 kJ). The questionnaire showed that all subjects were satisfied with the test process and results. Conclusions:The index system of physical fitness test for pregnant women established in this study is scientific, practical, and safe, which is a potential evaluation tool of the physical fitness level for pregnant women.

Objective:
To establish and evaluate a microfluidic chip platform for the rapid diagnosis of post-neurosurgical bacterial infection.
Methods:
The pathogens isolated from patients with post-neurosurgical bacterial infection in Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University during 2007 and 2016 and the epidemiological data from China drug resistance monitoring network CHINET were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the retrospective data and the molecular epidemiological information of drug-resistant bacteria reported in the literature, target pathogens and drug resistance gene parameters were selected. The microbial identification parameters from 10 different bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the parameters of 15 drug resistance genes, including mecA, vanA, vanB, aacC1, aadA1, bla CTX-M-1 , bla CTX-M-9 , bla GES-1 , bla OXA-23 , bla OXA-24 , bla OXA-58 , bla OXA-66 , bla KPC-2 , bla IMP-4 and bla VIM-2 , were selected for designing a microfluidic chip platform. Using MAIDI-TOF MS for bacterial identification, multiplex PCR for the detection of drug resistance genes, micro-broth dilution method for the detection of drug resistance phenotypes and ESBLs screening test as reference methods, 13 known bacteria were used to evaluate the preliminary performance of the established microfluidic chip platform, and 108 cerebrospinal fluid bacterial culture positive specimens were used to evaluate the clinical application value of the microfluidic chip platform.
Results:
The identification rates of 13 known strains and the coincidence rate of drug resistance genes were 100%. The coincidence rate of identification results for 108 cerebrospinal fluid bacterial culture positive specimens between the microfluidic chip platform and the MALDI-TOF MS method was as high as 94.44%. The coincidence rates of drug resistance phenotype of carbapenems, oxacillin, vancomycin, ESBLs and genotype between the microfluidic chip platform and the micro-broth dilution method or ESBLs screening test were above 90%.
Conclusion
The established microfluidic chip platform is fast and accurate, and has application value in microbial identification and the prediction of drug resistance, which may be used as an important supplementary method in the diagnosis of post-neurosurgical bacterial infection.
