Objective To explore the clinical,imaging and pathologic features of hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP).Methods The clinical data of one HCP patient who treated in our hospital and other 77 HCP patients from literatures were analyzed retrospectively.Results The clinical manifestation of all the 78 HCP patients had chronic headache,multiple cranial nerves impairment.The secondary was psychiatric disorder(10.3%),ataxia(9.0%) and seizure disorder(6.4%).Hemiplegia,menorrhea and galactosis were found few.Headache was the first onset symptom in the 74 cases (94.9%).HCP was often misdiagnosed subarachnoid hemorrhage,hypotensive cranial pressure headache and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in early stage.MRI demonstrated local or diffused thickened dura,especially in cerebral falx and/or tentorium of cerebellum,which could be enhanced through reinforced scanning.Pathological evidence indicated an obvious proliferation of dura fiber tissue accompanied with inflammatory cells infiltration.Corticosteroid was effective to all the cases.Conclusions The clinical manifestation of HCP was multiplicity,but it mainly was chronic headache and multiple cranial nerves impairment.MRI demonstrates local or diffused thickened dura especially in cerebral falx and/or tentorium of cerebellum.MRI has an important significance for diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of bacterial flora in hospital infection and to provide laboratory(evidence) for controlling hospital infection and selecting rationally antibiotics in clinic practice.METHODS All(isolates) were identified by routine procedure.MRSA and ESBLs-producing rate of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were(examined.) RESULTS Among all these clinical infectious specimens,there were 202 strains of Gram negative bacilli,(accounting) for 40.9%(202/495);166 strains of fungi,accounting for 33.5%;621 strains of Gram positive cocci,for 20.6%(102/495).Candida albicans,E.coli,Pseudomonas aerugionosa,C.tropicalis and C.glabrata took the first five bacteria in infection.Analysis of drug resistant bacteria suggested that the isolated rate of ESBLs-producing strains in Staphylococcus aureus be 47.6%,be CNS in MRCNS 78.1% and MRSA in SA be 42.3%.CONCLUSIONS Multidrug resistance and fungus infection are the main risk factors in our hospital.We must improve means of treatment on clinical work and use antibiotic rationally to reduce the infection rate.

Objective To explore the influence of helicobacter pylori(Hp) on gastric motor function in children with chronic gastrictis.Methods Forty-seven children with chronic gastrictis were classified into Hp positive and negative groups according to Hp and histology exa-mination.Each child underwent gastric emptying test of solid by using nuclide method and electrogastrogram(EGG) examination.These cases with Hp-positive acceptted these triple eradication therapy[clarithromycin 15 mg/(kg?d),amoxicillin 50 mg/(kg?d),omeprazole 0.8 mg/(kg?d)]for 2 weeks,and underwent EGG examination again after eradicating Hp.Results The half emptying time(GET_1/2)in Hp-positive gastric group were significantly longer than those in Hp-negative group(t=6.403 P

Objective:
To analyze the epidemic trend of viral hepatitis in Nanjing from 1989 to 2019 and predict the incidence in 2020, so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of viral hepatitis.
Methods:
The incidence data of viral hepatitis in Nanjing from 1989 to 2019 was retrieved from Nanjng Center for Disease Control and Prevention and National Infectious Disease Reporting System. The epidemic trend was analyzed by estimating the annual percent change ( APC ) and the average annual percent change ( AAPC ). The seasonal incidence of different types of viral hepatitis was analyzed by seasonal index. The autoregressive integrated moving average model ( ARIMA ) was built to predict monthly incidence rate of viral hepatitis in 2020.
Results:
The annual incidence rate of viral hepatitis was 62.00/100 000 in Nanjing from 1989 to 2019, showing a downward trend ( AAPC=8.4%, P<0.05 ). From 1998 to 2019, the annual incidence rates of hepatitis A, B, C and E were 1.98/100 000, 14.31/100 000, 2.30/100 000 and 2.60/100 000. The incidence of hepatitis A and B showed downward trends ( AAPC=-11.81%, -6.02%, both P<0.05 ); the incidence trend of hepatitis C was not obvious ( P>0.05 ); the incidence of hepatitis E showed an increasing trend ( AAPC=4.82%, P<0.05 ). From 2015 to 2019, the third and fourth quarters were the epidemic seasons of hepatitis A, B and C, while the first and second quarters were the epidemic seasons of hepatitis E. The ARIMA model predicted that the monthly incidence rates of viral hepatitis in 2020 would range from 1.26/100 000 to 3.69/100 000, among which hepatitis B ranged from 1.21/100 000 to 2.58/100 000, hepatitis C from 0.20/100 000 to 0.48/100 000, hepatitis E from 0.09/100 000 to 0.25/100 000.
Conclusions
The incidence of viral hepatitis in Nanjing shows a downward trend. Among different types of hepatitis, hepatitis B has a higher incidence. All types of hepatitis have epidemic seasons. It is predicted that the monthly incidence rates of viral hepatitis will be 1.26/100 000 to 3.69/100 000 in 2020.

To explore the expression and clinical significance of molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), HSP90 was detected in PBMC by Western blot assay and the plasma level of IL-6 was measured by ELISA in 38 SLE patients and 20 normal controls. The correlation analysis was performed between the SLE disease activity index (SLE-DAI) and the expression of HSP90 and IL-6. The results showed that there was increased expression of HSP90 in the SLE patients. The active SLE group exhibited higher HSP90 levels (0.82+/-0.10) than the inactive SLE group (0.54+/-0.09) (P<0.01). The expression of HSP90 in normal control group (0.37+/-0.11) showed significant statistical difference as compared to both the inactive and active SLE groups (P<0.01, P<0.01, respectively). The plasma level of IL-6 exhibited a significant increase in both the inactive and active SLE groups (28.99+/-1.74 pg/mL, 44.58+/-9.15 pg/mL, respectively) compared with normal control group (P<0.01, P<0.01, respectively). The expression of HSP90 and IL-6 in SLE patients showed significant positive correlation with SLEDAI scoring (r=0.80, P<0.01: r= 0.74, P<0.01, respectively). In addition, there was a positive correlation between the level of IL-6 and HSP90 in SLE patients (r=0.86, P<0.01). The increased expression of molecular chaperone HSP90 and IL-6 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE by regulating autoimmunity.
