Purpose It is still undetermined about the application of regular ultrasound (US) combined with ultrasonic elastography (UE) in diagnosing superficial lymph nodes disease.Therefore our aim is to evaluate the value of US combined with UE in diagnosing superficial lymph nodes disease.Materials and Methods The ultrasonography and pathological data of 214 patients (with 266 superficial lymph nodes) were analyzed retrospectively.The US and UE data were compared with the pathologic results.Results The elastic classification of reactive hyperplastic and lymphomatous lymph nodes were no greater than grade 3,respectively;that of malignant metastatic lymph nodes was greater than grade 4.The accuracy of UE or US+UE was higher in diagnosing reactive hyperplastic lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes' nature compared with US (P<0.05).The sensitivity and accuracy of US+UE in diagnosing malignant superficial lymph nodes were higher than those of US (90.13% vs.72.37%;86.09% vs.68.05%,P<0.05).Compared with UE alone,those of US+UE were also higher (90.13% vs.77.63%;86.09% vs.72.56%,P<0.05).Conclusion The accuracy of differential diagnosis of benign or malignant superficial lymph nodes can be improved by US+UE method.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid in blood protection in liver transplantation.Methods We searched the Cochrane library,MEDLINE,CNKI,VIP,CBM (from inception to May 2017),to collect all the randomized controlled trials of tranexamic acid for liver transplantation.the quality of the included studies was evaluated,and meta-analyses were performed with Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.3 software.Results 1) A total of 8 studies involving 1107 patients were included.the results of meta-analyses showed:Compared with placebo,tranexamic acid was effective in reducing postoperative blood loss [SMD =-1.95,95% CI (-3.21,-0.69)],P<0.05],there were statistical heterogeneity between the studies (I2=94%,P<0.05),2)Tranexamic acid was effective in reducing postoperative transfusion rates of RBC during the operation [SMD=-0.43,95% CI (-0.74,-0.11)],P<0.05];however,less effective than the placebo in terms of reducing postoperative FFP and PLT transfusion.Compared with placebo and other antifibrinolitic drugs the bleeding,renal insufficiency,thrombosis,infection,death and the incidence of other adverse events were not increased in tranexamic acid group after surgery.Conclusion Tranexamic acid was a safe and effective antifibrinolitic drug in liver transplantation,for it can reduce the amount of bleeding and red blood cell transfusion,However,due to the limited quality of the included studies,further verification with more high quality trials was needed.

Objective To observe the relationship between plasma level of homocysteine(HCY) and ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged adults,explore the clinical signficance concerning the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged adults.Methods The plasma homocysteine level of 132 young and middle-aged adults patients with ischemic and 86 control peoples were measured by means of enzymatic cycling assay.Results The plasma homocysteine level in ischemic stroke was higher than that in control group( P < 0.01 ).The higher the plasma homocysteine level,the larger infarcted focus in acute ischemic stroke group of young and middleaged adults.The plasma homocysteine level and the infarcted focus was positively linearly correlated.Conclusion Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor of ischemic stroke among young and middle-aged adults.The higher the plasma homocysteine level,the larger infarcted focus in acute ischemic stroke group.The plasma homocysteine level can reflect the size of the infarcted focus and the degree of disease,and the plasma homocysteine level should serve as a kind of regular examination or as an index intervention can be taken,all of which are great importance to prevent ischemic stroke and reduce its morbilily.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of organic anion transporting polypeptide (SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3) and mycophenolic acid ( MPA)pharmacokinetics in Chinese kidney transplant recipients. Methods Gene mutations (SLCO1B3T334G, SLCO1B1 A338G) were detected in 68 recipients by PCR-LDR. The plasma samples were collected and blood concentration of MPA was measured on the 28 th day after transplantation. The area under the curve (AUC)0-12 of MPA in different genotype recipients was compared to analyze the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and MPA pharmacokinetics. Results MPA AUC0-12 was higher in SLCO1B3 T334G GG carriers group than in TT carriers [(54. 54 ±14.40)vs(37.30±12.88)mg·h·L-1,(P=0.052)].However,there was no difference in MPA AUC0-12 among each genotype of SLCO1B1 A338G (P>0. 05). Conclusion Genetic polymorphisms of SLCO1B3 affect interindividual variety in plasma MPA concentration in Chinese kidney transplantation recipients.

The effect of cultivation conditions on the optical purity of L(+)-lactic acid produced by Rhizopus oryzae HZS6 was investigated. The isomeric composition of lactic acid was influenced by the supplementation of L(+)-lactic acid to fermentation medium. L(+)-isomer increased with the dosage, no D(-)-lactic acid was observed when the concentration of supplemented L(+)-lactic acid in matrix was > or = 1.5 g/L. However, the L(+)-lactic acid yield, biomass and glucose conversion rate decreased with the dosage. With the same method, the supplementation of L(+)-lactic to substrate had no influence on isomeric composition of lactic acid by Lactobacillus and Escherichia coli.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in children with sepsis and the effects of probiotic intervention.Methods:Thirty-four children with sepsis admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital were enrolled in this prospective study from May 2019 to July 2020. They were randomly divided into two groups and received conventional treatment (conventional treatment group, n=17) and conventional treatment combined with probiotics (probiotics group, n=17), respectively. Twenty healthy children were selected as healthy control group. The baseline characteristics and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of all children with sepsis were recorded within 24 h after recruitment. Stool samples were collected 5-7 d after recruitment. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to detect gut microbiota. Bioinformatic analysis and predictive functional profiling of microbial communities were performed to analyze the differences between groups. Results:The α-diversity and β-diversity indexes showed compared with the healthy control group, the two sepsis groups had lower abundance of gut microbiota, but greater individual differences in bacteria structure. These indexes were improved significantly following probiotic intervention ( P<0.05). At the level of phylum, the proportions of Bacteroidota and Actinobacteriota in the conventional treatment group were the lowest among the three groups, while the proportion of Proteobacteria increased significantly ( P<0.05). At the level of genus, Enterocoddus was the predominant bacterium in the conventional treatment group, while the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium, Erysipelotrichaceae and Rumimococcus- torques in the probiotics group showed an upward trend ( P<0.05). Differences in the abundance of metabolic pathways, including mitochondrial synthesis, exosomes, mRNA transcription and degradation and cysteine metabolism, could be found between the two sepsis groups. Conclusions:This study revealed that children with sepsis exhibit a dysbiotic microbial community with reduced microbial diversity, declined structural stability, decreased abundance of Bacteroidota and enrichment of Proteobacteria. Probiotic supplementation could elevate the percentage of beneficial symbiotic bacteria and reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria. The differential metabolic pathways might be associated with the mechanism of probiotics in practice.
