Objective To investigate the status of urogenital Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) infection and their drug tolerance in our area,so as to guide rational administration for the clinic.Methods Mycoplasma culture and drug susceptibility test were performed for 771 patients with urogenital infaction. The culture,identification and drug resistance of mycoplasma were carried out with one complex mycoplasma kit.Results The positive rate of Uu was 49.9%. The proportional percentage of males was 12.5% and the Uu positive rate was 22.3%,for females,the proportional percentage and Uu positive rate was 87.5% and 60.6% respectively. The population aged 21-40 was susceptible to Uu infection. The most sensitive antibioties to Uu was clindamycin (95.12%),followed by doxycycline (87.57%) and roxithromycin (86.24%).Conclusion The difference of Uu drug sensitivty was significant in different areas. So it is necessary to select antibioties by drug sensitivity. Clindamycin,doxycycline and roxithromycin may are used as preferred antibioties in treating Uu infection in our area. The drug-resistance status of spectinomycin and lincomycin was serious.

This study was aimed to explore the nonlinear relationship between syndromes and prescriptions by using the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. The clauses composed of syndromes and prescriptions in Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases) were sorted out. A total of 245 clauses were trained with ANN to establish the knowledge base model of syndromes and prescriptions. After that, 100 clauses were tested. And then, the symptoms of Gui-Zhi-Tang (GZT) syndrome, Ma-Huang-Tang (MHT) syndrome, Xiao-Chai-Hu-Tang (XCHT) syndrome and Bai-Hu-Tang (BHT) syndrome were input into the model to predict the Chinese herbs. The results showed that the test accuracy of the model was 79%. For the herbs to GZT and MHT syndrome, the test error was less than 0.1. For the main herbs to XCHT and BHT syndrome, the test error was less than 0.1. While for other herbs, the test error was less than 0.3. It was concluded that the ANN algorithm can simulate the nonlinear relationship between syndromes and prescriptions, which can be applied to study the syndrome differentiation, in order to contribute to the syndromes and prescriptions standardization and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) information.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP)is a special type of chronic pancreatitis that originates from an autoimmune -mediated mecha-nism.AIP has unique radiological,serological,and histopathological features,often accompanied by peripancreatic lesions.AIP may be easily confused with pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.It is necessary to diagnose AIP while integrating a variety of clinical indica-tors.Steroid therapy should be performed for patients diagnosed with AIP,and surgical treatment can be selected if necessary.

BACKGROUND:Manual reduction or traditional steel plate fixation is commonly used for repair of proximal humerus factures in older patients, because of poor stability, making these injuries prone to fracture malunion. While open reduction with steel plate fixation has a better outcome than closed reduction, the stability of internal fixation is stil less than satisfactory. Clinical studies have shown that minimal y invasive treatment with locking compression plates has presented good clinical results in terms of fixation stability, bone healing, and functional recovery. Therefore, we hypothesize that use of a locking compression plate wil provide better stability and that biocompatibility wil potentiate fracture healing and shoulder function recovery in older patients with proximal humerus fractures. OBJECTIVE:To observe the improvement of minimal y invasive treatment with locking compression plates in older patients with proximal humerus fractures. MEHTODS:This prospective, single-center, randomized control ed clinical trial wil be completed at the Department of Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University in China. Eighty-two older patients with proximal humerus fractures wil be enrol ed and equivalently assigned to two groups. In the test group, patients wil undergo closed reduction via a lateral approach to the shoulder fol owed by locking compression plate fixation using a minimal y invasive technique, and those in the control group wil be subjected to closed reduction via a lateral approach to the shoulder fol owed by conventional steel plate fixation using a minimal y invasive technique. Al patients wil be fol owed up for 6 months. The primary outcome wil be recovery of shoulder function as indicated by clinical outcome scores according to the Neer classification system for proximal humeral fractures 6 months after surgery. The secondary outcomes wil include the operation time;intraoperative blood loss;postoperative hospital stay;fracture healing time;clinical outcome scores according to the Neer classification system 0.5, 1, and 3 months after surgery;visual analogue scale scores 1 and 3 days and 1 and 2 weeks after surgery to assess pain;scores of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short form health survey 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to assess quality of life;and X-ray examinations 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery to assess fracture healing. The experiment was approved by the Ethics Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University of China (approval No. QHY1005D). Participants were informed to the test content and treatment process, and signed informed consent. DISCUSSION:This study protocol represents an attempt to objectively choose appropriate methods for internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures in older patients by comparing locking compression plate and conventional steel plate fixation to improve shoulder function. TRIAL REGISTRATION:This trial was registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier:NCT02784522;on 19 May 2016.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and propofol intravenous anesthesia on hemodynamics,stress reaction and anesthesia effects of pediatric hernia surgery. METHODS:Eight-six children underwent hernia surgery in Hubei Provincial Third People's Hospital from May 2011 to Sept. 2015 were selected as subjects and divided into tri-al group and control group according to random number table,with 43 cases in each group. Trial group was given Tirofiban hydro-chloride for injection 0.4 μg/(kg·min),ivgtt,Cisatracurium besilate for injection 0.1 mg/kg+Fentanyl citrate injection 1.0 μg/kg,iv, for anesthesia induction;given 2%-3% sevoflurane inhalation for anesthesia maintenance,and additionally given fentanyl citrate 0.5 μg/kg,iv if necessary. Control group was given Propofol emulsion injection 3 mg/kg+atracurium 0.1 mg/kg+ fentanyl citrate 1.0μg/kg,iv for anesthesia induction;given micro pump injection of propofol 3 mg/(kg·h)for anesthesia maintenance,and additional-ly given fentanyl citrate 0.5 μg/kg,iv if necessary. The onset time of anesthesia,hemodynamic parameters (SBP,DBP,HR), stress reaction indexes(NE,E,R),recovery situation and the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:The on-set time of anesthesia in trial group was(3.82±0.45)min,significantly shorter than control group(5.13±0.74)min,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). Before anesthesia induction,there was no statistical significance in SBP,DBP,HR,the serum levels of NE,E and R between 2 groups(P>0.05). The levels of SBP,DBP,HR of 2 groups at incision,5 min after incision,10 min after incision were significantly higher than before anesthesia,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Above indexes of trial group at incision,5 min after incision were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). At incision, the serum levels of NE,E and R in 2 groups were increased significantly compared to before anesthesia induction,but the trial group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The postoperative eye opening time, awake time and orientation recovery time of trial group were significantly shorter than control group,while the PAED score was sig-nificantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in trial group(0)was significant-ly lower than control group (11.6%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia has less effect than propofol intravenous anesthesia on hemodynamic indexes and is helpful to relieve stress reaction and promote postoperative revival with good safety.
