Objective:
To investigate the correlation between serum lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2), LAMP-2 antibody levels and the progression of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods:
A total of 80 patients with CKD 3 to 5 stage (CKD group) and 50 healthy controls (control group) from August 2016 to August 2017 in Affiliated Dongfeng Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine were enrolled. The levels of hemoglobin, creatinine, urea, albumin, LAMP-2 and LAMP-2 antibody in fasting elbow venous blood of 2 groups were detected, and the estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated. The CKD patients were followed up for 1 year, and renal function deterioration was defined as eGFR declined more than average value; the follow-up was over when the patients started dialysis or died, and those patients also defined as renal function deterioration. The patients were divided into high level group and low level group according to the serum LAMP-2 and LAMP-2 antibody levels.
Results:
The eGFR, hemoglobin and albumin in CKD group were significantly lower than those in control group: (24.60 ± 5.79) ml/min vs. (119.20 ± 9.52) ml/min, (111.36 ± 24.41) g/L vs. (144.60 ± 17.85) g/L and (36.83 ± 3.84) g/L vs. (45.92 ± 6.37) g/L, the creatinine, urea, LAMP-2 and LAMP-2 antibody were significantly higher than those in control group: (306.17 ± 49.24) μmol/L vs. (83.24 ± 5.55) μmol/L, (15.17 ± 3.39) mmol/L vs. (5.57 ± 1.33) mmol/L, (24.76 ± 5.47) μg/L vs. (12.93 ± 4.43) μg/L and (20.33 ± 4.89) μg/L vs. (9.98 ± 2.20) μg/L, and there were statistical differences (

Objective To analyze the quality of life among adults with chronic suppurative otitis media,and to research the chan-ges of the life quality between preoperative and postoperative.Methods We modified the chronic ear survey(CES)through inter-view adults with chronic suppurative otitis media.The modified scale (Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Outcome Survey)was ad-ministered to 110 patients in a prospective manner,and then was validated according to established criteria for reliability and validi-ty.Then we assessed the outcomes of surgeries for chronic suppurative otitis media.Results The chronic suppurative otitis media outcome survey includes 17 entries,and was divide into four dimensions.Excellent test-retest reliability was obtained for the survey score (R=0.967).Cronbach′s α correlation coefficient were calculated as 0.864 for the total survey.Criterion validity showed a high correlation between scores on chronic suppurative otitis media outcome survey and scores on CES (R=0.977,P <0.01).U-sing principal components extraction with orthogonal rotation,it was performed on the composite data set,and this yielded a four-factor solution that explained 70.394% of the variance.The average score of patients before surgery was 51.660±10.762,post-op-erative scores was 75.893 ± 7.734.The total score wasn′t significantly changed after the surgery,and the average value was 24.23±7.67 (t=24.653,P <0.01).Conclusion The chronic suppurative otitis media outcome survey is a reliable and valid meas-ure of quality of life for adults with chronic suppurative otitis media,and it is more suitable than the CES in outcomes studies and clinical trials.

Endoplasmic reticulum plays a key role in both basic structure formation and function performance of microenviron-ment. Endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis unbalance caused by endoplasmic reticulum stress has become a hot research topic in recent years. This paper focuses on the role of endoplasmic retic-ulum stress in ischemic stroke. Research progress of related sig-naling pathways were reviewed, especially mechanisms through which endoplasmic reticulum stress trigger the inflammatory reac-tion, so as to provide a new research method for prevention of is-chemic stroke.

Objective:
To explore the association between preeclampsia/eclampsia and maternal and fetal angiotensinogen SNPs.
Methods:
From January 2008 to October 2015, a case-parents/mother-control designed study was conducted among 347 preeclampsia/eclampsia cases and 700 controls to collect related information on their demographic characteristics and to detect the related angiotensinogen SNPs’ genotypes. Both log-linear and unconditional logistic regression methods were employed to investigate the genetic effects of maternal/fetal angiotensinogen SNPs on preeclampsia/eclampsia. Multivariate binary unconditional logistic regression model and covariance were used to analyze the relationship between BMI before pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy and overweight and obesity in preschool children.
Results:
Both fetal angiotensinogen rs3789679 GA and AA genotype were associated with the reduced risks of preeclampsia/eclampsia, with

ObjectiveTo analyze the gender differences in the pathogen distribution and drug susceptibility of bacteria causing urinary tract infection among psychiatric inpatients in a hospital in Guangzhou, and to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and rational use of drugs in treatment. MethodsClinical data of 326 psychiatric patients complicating urinary tract infection in a hospital in Guangzhou from 2019 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 126 males and 200 females. Data including gender, age, identification results of urinary tract pathogens from urine samples and drug susceptibility results were collected. The differences in bacterial distribution and drug resistance rate of urinary tract infection pathogens in patients of different genders were analyzed. ResultsA total of 326 strains of urinary tract infection bacteria were isolated, including 103 strains (31.60%) of multi-drug resistant bacteria. Male and female urinary tract infection in patients with multi-drug resistant bacteria were detected 52 strains (41.27%) and 51 strains (25.50%), the detection rate of multi-drug resistant bacteria in female patients was significantly higher than that in male patients, with statistical difference (χ2=8.895, P<0.01). In terms of bacterial distribution, the composition ratio of Escherichia coli in female patients was higher than that in male patients (χ2=14.794), while the composition ratio of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was lower than that in male patients (χ2=13.665, 4.054), with statistical difference (P<0.05 or 0.01). The drug susceptibility results showed that Escherichia coli isolated from female patients were less resistant to various antibiotics such as ampicillin/sulbactam, aztreonam, cefepime, ceftazidime, levofloxacin, imipenem and meropenem than those from male patients (χ2=5.028~17.680, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence rate and bacterial distribution of psychiatric patients complicating urinary tract infection differ between patients of different genders, furthermore, the rate of drug resistance for Escherichia coli is lower in female patients than that in male patients.

Cashmere, also known as soft gold, is produced from the secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats. The number of SHFs determines the yield and quality of cashmere; therefore, it is of interest to investigate the transcriptional profiles present during cashmere goat hair follicle development. However, mechanisms underlying this development process remain largely unexplored, and studies regarding hair follicle development mostly use a murine research model. In this study, to provide a comprehensive understanding of cellular heterogeneity and cell fate decisions, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on 19,705 single cells of the dorsal skin from cashmere goat fetuses at induction (embryonic day 60; E60), organogenesis (E90), and cytodifferentiation (E120) stages. For the first time, unsupervised clustering analysis identified 16 cell clusters, and their corresponding cell types were also characterized. Based on lineage inference, a detailed molecular landscape was revealed along the dermal and epidermal cell lineage developmental pathways. Notably, our current data also confirmed the heterogeneity of dermal papillae from different hair follicle types, which was further validated by immunofluorescence analysis. The current study identifies different biomarkers during cashmere goat hair follicle development and has implications for cashmere goat breeding in the future.
