Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the chemiluminescence immunoassay particles (CMIA)in the diagnosis of syphilis.Methods The serum specimens from 150 cases of syphilis in our hospital were selected as the observation group and con-temporaneous 150 serum samples from non-syphilis healthy people were selected as the control group.The toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST),treponema pallidum particle agglutination test (TPPA)and CMIA were adopted to conduct the detection. The sensitivity,accuracy and specificity of the three kinds of method were calculated and their differences were compared and ana-lyzed.Results The sensitivity of TRUST and TPPA and CMIA was 65.3%,97.7% and 99.3% respectively,the specificity was 74.7%,97.3% and 100.0% respectively,the accuracy was 70.0%,97.0% and 99.7% respectively,the difference among three kinds of methods had statistical significance (P <0.05).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of TRUST were lower than those of CMIA and TPPA (P <0.017),there was no statistically significant difference between CMIA and TPPA (P >0.017).Conclu-sion CMIA is equivalent to TPPA in the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy,is superior to TRUST,and has the advantages of sim-ple operation,objective results and good repeatability.

Objective To study the influence of continuous blood purification(CBP) on cardiac out-put of pediatric patients using bioreactance. Methods Patients underwent CBP in PICU and nephrology ward from March 2014 were prospectively enrolled after approval by ethics committee. CBP therapies were all performed by Fresenius Medical Care hemodialysis machine. Cardiac output values were obtained using the non-invasive cardiac output monitoring ( NICOM) device ( Cheetah Medical). Blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac index(CI) and stroke volume index(SVI) were recorded before the therapy,at the beginning of ther-apy,during the course of therapy,and at the end of each therapy. Results Twenty-one pediatric patients (from 1. 0 year to 15. 5 years) were recruited and 69 treatments were recorded from March 2014 to Decem-ber 2016. The basic CI was 3. 4 (2. 4,6. 1) L/(min·m2),basic SVI was 43 (26,75) ml/(m2·beat). Dur-ing the beginning of therapy,mean arterial pressure(MAP),CI and SVI all dropped from the baseline ( P<0. 001),whereas heart rate increased. During the course of CBP,CI and SVI (were both recorded every 4 hours) kept on dropping and stayed at a relatively lower level. Course CI was 3. 0 (2. 4,4. 6) L/(min·m2) and course SVI was 28 (21,57) ml/(m2·beat). At the end of therapy,CI was 3. 4 (2. 5,5. 3) L/(min· m2),with no significant difference from the baseline CI (P=0. 073). However,the SVI at the end of therapy was 35 (25,67) ml/(m2·beat),higher than the course SVI but still lower than the basic SVI,the differences were statistically significant ( P<0. 05). Conclusion CI and SVI continue to decline at the beginning of CBP treatment and remain at a lower level throughout the course of treatment. After the therapy, CI has returned to the basic level whereas SVI has not recovered.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with wake-up ischemic stroke (WUIS) of anterior circulation non-major arteries.Methods:Sixty-seven patients with WUIS of anterior circulation non-major arteries (time from falling asleep/last use of bathroom at night to intravenous thrombolysis≤9 h and >4.5 h) admitted to Department of Neurology, Beijing Shijingshan Hospital and Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Muyangliu Hospital from January 1 st, 2017 to December 31 st, 2021 were chosen; these 35 patients accepted routine antiplatelet therapy after intravenous thrombolytic therapy were chosen as control group, and the other 32 patients accepted rt-PA arterial thrombolysis after intravenous thrombolytic therapy were chosen as study group. Vascular recanalization after arterial thrombolysis was observed in study group (cerebral infarction thrombolysis grading 2 and 3: good vascular recanalization). Neurological deficit improvement during treatment, clinical prognoses (modified Rankin scale scores of 0-2: good prognosis) and hemorrhagic transformation incidence 3 months after treatment were compared between the 2 groups. Results:The vascular thrombolytic recanalization rate of study group was 81.25% (26/32). Patients in study group had significantly decreased National Institute of Health stroke scale scores compared with those in control group 1, 7, and 14 d after thrombolytic therapy ( P<0.05). The good prognosis rate of study group (62.50%, 20/32) was significantly higher than that in control group (37.14%, 13/35, P<0.05). No significant difference in hemorrhagic transformation rate was noted between the 2 groups (15.6% [5/32] vs. 5.71% [2/35], P>0.05). Conclusion:Patients with WUIS of anterior circulation non-major arteries (time from falling asleep/last use of bathroom at night to intravenous thrombolysis≤9 h and >4.5 h) benefit from arterial thrombolysis with rt-PA, and risk of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage is not obviously increased.
