OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use and standard management of antibiotics. METHODS:The relevant information for antibiotics used in the inpatients of our hospital involved in antibiotics special rectification during 2011 to 2014 were extracted from hospital information system,and the relevant data of antibiotics use were analyzed statistically. The changes of several indicators in the inpatients of our hospital were investigated,including the utilization rate and amount of antibiotics,DDDs and the uti-lization rate of typeⅠincision antibiotics for prophylactic use. RESULTS:The ratio of consumption sum of antibiotics in total con-sumption sum were decreasing from 2011 to 2014. The utilization rate of antibiotics and of typeⅠincision antibiotics for prophylactic use were decreased significantly,decreasing from 77.30% and 47.57% in 2011 to 57.24% and 5.89% in 2014. The consumption sum of cefepime occupied the first 3 places in 3 years. DDDs of cefotaxime and cefoperazone/sulbactam occupied the first 2 places in 4 years. CONCLUSIONS:The development of“antibiotics special rectification activities”have achieved remarkable results in our hospi-tal,the various index of antibiotics in the inpatients have been obviously improved,and clinical application of antibiotics become more reasonable,which lay a good foundation for continuous improvement of clinical application and management of antibiotics.

Purpose To investigate the effects of chemotactic factor CCR4 on the abi1ity of pro1iferation,ce11 cyc1e,invasion,and mi-gration of human ga11b1adder cancer ce11. Methods Western b1ot was used to detect the expression 1eve1 of CCR4 in ga11b1adder carci-noma ce11s. Ga11b1adder carcinoma ce11s was infected by means of s1ow virus,the CCR4 gene si1encing was conducted using siRNA-CCR4 interference techno1ogy. Ga11b1adder carcinoma ce11s GBC-SD were divided into three groups( GBC-SD,GBC-SD/CCR4-RNAi and GBC-SD/contro1). CCL17,a 1igand of CCR4,was used to act on these three groups of ce11s. CCK8 method was used to detect the ce11 pro1iferation abi1ity of three groups. F1ow cytometry was used to test ce11 cyc1e. Tanswe11 assay was app1ied to detect ce11 migration and invasion abi1ity. Western b1ot was performed to detect the expression of its corresponding 1igands CCL17 and CCL22 proteins. Re-sults CCR4 gene si1ence did not inf1uence ce11 cyc1e and pro1iferation of ga11b1adder ce11 GBC-SD,but can significant1y inhibit GBC-SD ce11 invasion and movement abi1ity,CCR4 gene si1ence had no inf1uence on the expression of CCL17 and CCL22 gene in tumor ce11s. Conclusion Ga11b1adder carcinoma ce11s GBC-SD express chemokine receptor CCR4,chemokine receptor CCR4 can promote the invasion and metastasis of GBC-SD ce11s.

With the rapid development of cardiac pacing therapy,the number of pacemakers used in children is growing.Children grow fast,with small size and thin wall heart wall.Underlying diseases in children are different from those in adults.As a result,it is quite important to choose proper electrode,pulse generator,pa-cing site and carry out regular follow-up.Epicardial electrodes are usually used in infants,while endocardial ones have been the leading choice due to long lifespan,minimal injury and stable threshold.Many studies indicate that right ventricular pacing can damage left ventricular function and left ventricular pacing is more physiological.It is essential to remove the entire pacemaker system once the diagnosis of pocket infection is made.Elevation of pacemaker threshold and electrode-related complications are more common in epicardial pacemakers while ve-nous occlusion and tricuspid regurgitation are more common in endocardial pacemakers.In recent years,there is progress in remote monitoring system,cardiac resynchronization therapy,magnetic resonance imaging pacemak-ers and leadless pacemakers,which might be promising therapies in the near future.

Objective: To analyze diagnosis rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in hospitalized pediatric patients in a single center and understand pediatricians′ awareness of CKD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Children who were admitted to the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017 and met the diagnostic criteria of CKD (kidney disease: improving global outcomes 2012 guideline) were recruited. A total of 4 472 cases were enrolled. Original CKD diagnosis was collected from the home page of medical records. Actual CKD diagnosis was validated and corrected by reviewing medical records and recalculating glomerular filtration rate. The diagnosis rate and influencing factors of pediatric CKD, the distribution and etiology of actual CKD were analyzed. The comparison between groups were performed with χ² test. Results: In 4 472 cases, there were 3 470 cases in actual CKD stage 1, among which only 24 cases were in original CKD stage 1. There were 543 cases in actual CKD stage 2-3, among which only 181 cases were in original CKD stage 2-3. Three hundred and one cases were in actual CKD stage 4-5, including 290 cases in original CKD stage 4-5. In addition, there were 43 cases with unknown CKD stage and 115 cases with acute kidney injury. Compared to original CKD diagnosis, the diagnosis rates of CKD stage 1-5 were 0.7% (24/3 470), 16.7% (58/348), 63.1% (123/195), 90.7% (78/86) and 98.6% (212/215), respectively. The proportions of actual CKD stage 1-5 were 80.4% (3 470/4 314), 8.1% (348/4 314), 4.5% (195/4 314), 2.0% (86/4 314) and 5.0% (215/4 314). The etiology of actual CKD included primary glomerular disease (62.2%, 2 686/4 314), secondary glomerular disease (19.7%, 849/4 314), hereditary kidney disease (9.1%, 391/4 314), congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) (3.1%, 135/4 314), tubulointerstitial disease (2.2%, 94/4 314) and etiology uncertain (2.1%, 89/4 314). The leading cause of end stage renal disease was etiology uncertain (31.1%, 67/215), followed by hereditary kidney disease (24.2%, 52/215), CAKUT (16.3%, 35/215) and primary glomerular disease (16.3%, 35/215). Conclusions Among actual CKD hospitalized pediatric patients, the diagnosis rate of CKD given by physicians at discharge was relatively low, especially patients in earlier CKD stages, which reflected serious lack of physicians′ awareness of CKD.

Global Cancer Statistics for 2020 show that urinary system tumors account for approximately 13% of the total number of cancers. At present, the diagnostic methods of urinary system tumors are imaging, endoscopy, and pathological examination. As the gold standard of tumor diagnosis, pathological examination has problems such as lack of pathologists and long operation time. Artificial intelligence (AI), with a strong ability for pathology image recognition and feature analysis, can be used as an auxiliary diagnosis. It has realized automatic diagnosis, typing, staging, grading, and prognosis prediction in several urinary system tumors. However, AI still has many shortcomings, which limit its clinical application. This article will review the progress of AI and its application in the pathological study of urinary system tumors.

Sall4, a member of sall4 gene family, plays important roles in embryo development; organogenesis as well as pluripotency maintenance and re-establishment. There are two isoforms of Sall4, Sall4A and Sall4B. The sequence of porcine sall4 gene is still not reported. Because of its distinct role in maintaining the pluripotent state of stem cells, we cloned and sequenced porcine sall4 gene and assessed its expression in pig tissues and embryos. One 2 372 bp nucleotide sequence representing the full-length cDNA of pig sall4 was obtained by 5'and 3'RACE. Analyses of putative protein sequence showed a 70% to 80% identity with isoform Sall4B of human and mouse. Comparing with Sall4A, the identity reduced to 30% to 55% because of the loss of a zinc-finger domain-rich fragment. Assessment of sall4b expression in porcine tissues by Real-time PCR showed that it expressed most strongly in ovary and stronger in spleen, lung, heart and testis. For preimplantation embryos, the expression level was lower in 4-cell embryos compared with other stages. Immuno-fluorescence analysis of Sall4 on porcine preimplantation embryos indicated that it expressed in all the preimplantation embryos and located in nucleus, in blastocyst it preferentially limited in ICM cells. Expression pattern in early embryos suggest that pig sall4b is associated with pluripotency and might be a new and useful reprogramming factor for establishing pig induced pluripotent stem cell lines.

OBJECTIVETo separate and characterize aqueous extracts of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Carthamus tinctorius to efficient, high-throughput and strong polar components, to observe effects of their aqueous effective components compatibility on rat myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury.

METHODMyocardial ischemic reperfusion injury model were established on SD rats by 40 min ligation of the left anterior descending artery and 120 min reperfusion. The rats were injected experimental drugs intravenously from femoral vein after 10 min ischemia. Rats were randomly divided into sham group (the suture around the left anterior descending coronary artery was not tied), model group, Danhong injection group (content of protocatechualdehyde is 0.05 g x L(-1), injection dosage equivalent to 1.80 g x kg(-1)), aqueous effective component of S. miltiorrhiza group (content of salvianolic acid B is 49 g x L(-1), injection dosage equivalent to 30.68 g x kg(-1)), aqueous effective component of S. miltiorrhiza group (content of hydroxysafflor yellow A is 31.76 g x L(-1), injection dosage equivalent to 17.87 g x kg(-1)), aqueous effective components compatibility of S. miltiorrhizae and C. tinctorius group (injection dosage is respectively 24.28 g x kg(-1) and 48.55 g x kg(-1)), each group have ten rats. Drugs were diluted with an equal dose of normal saline. The rats of sham group and model group were injected equivalent dosage of saline. The myocardial infarction size and the contents of serum cTnT and CK-MB were detected. The level of TXB2, 6-keto-PGF(1alpha) and platelet aggregation in blood plasma were investigated.

RESULTCompared with sham group, serum cTnT and CK-MB contents in model group increased significantly (P < 0.01). Compared with model group, myocardial infarction size and serum cTnT and CK-MB contents in aqueous effective component of S. miltiorrhiza group, aqueous effective component of C. tinctorius group and aqueous effective components compatibility of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius groups decreased significantly. Aqueous effective component of S. miltiorrhiza increased the level of 6-ke-to-PGF(1alpha), as well as decreased content of TXB2 and inhibited platelet aggregation (P < 0.01). Aqueous effective component of C. tinctorius also decreased the content TXB2 (P < 0.01). Improved extent of some detected markers in aqueous effective components compatibility of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius groups were better than that of Danhong injection group.

CONCLUSIONEffective components compatibility of aqueous extracts from S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius may reduce myocardial infarct size and leakage of myocardial enzyme, and increase the level of 6-keto-PGF1alpha, so as to inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis, the result of which is to reduce myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Yunkang oral liquid combined with dexamethasone and low-molecular-weight heparin in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) complicated with pre thrombotic state (PTS), and its effects on thromboelastogram and serum progesterone, β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β- hCG), and helper T cell (Th) 1/Th2 cytokine levels in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA).Methods:A prospective selection of 94 RSA patients with PTS admitted to the Baoding Second Central Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020 was conducted. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 47 patients in each group. The control group was treated with dexamethasone combined with low molecular weight heparin, while the observation group was treated with Yunkang oral liquid in addition to the control group. Continuously treat until 12 weeks of pregnancy to evaluate the efficacy of both groups and observe the adverse reactions in both groups. Two sets of thromboelastogram parameters were compared before and after treatment, including clot formation time (K value), clot reaction time (R value), and clot formation rate (α angle), maximum clot strength (MA value), and coagulation comprehensive index (CI), as well as serum progesterone β- hCG, Th1/Th2 cytokine levels. The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were followed up.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group [95.7%(45/47)] was significantly higher than that of the control group [83.0%(39/47), P<0.05]. After treatment, the K and R values of both groups were significantly prolonged compared to before treatment (all P<0.05), the angle α, MA value, and CI value were significantly reduced compared to those before treatment (all P<0.05); After treatment, the K and R values in the observation group were significantly longer than those in the control group (al P<0.05), The angleα, MA value, and CI value were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of β- hCG serum progesterone of the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (all P<0.05), and The β-hCG levels of the serum progesterone were all higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, The levels serum Th1 cytokines [interferon-γ (INF- γ), tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α)] of both groups were significantly decreased compared to those before treatment (all P<0.05), and the levels of serum Th2 cytokines [interleukin-4, IL-10] were significantly increased compared to those before treatment (all P<0.05); After treatment, the observation group's serum IFN- γ, TNF- α were significantly lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05), and The levels of serum IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly higher than those of the control group all P<0.05). The live birth rate of the observation group was 87.2%(41/47), which was higher than that of the control group [70.2%(33/47)] ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the adverse reaction rate between the observation group [6.4%(3/47)] and the control group [4.3%(2/47)] ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The treatment of RSA combined with PTS with Yunkang oral liquid, dexmedroxyprogesterone, and low molecular weight heparin can significantly alleviate blood hypercoagulability, increase reproductive endocrine hormone levels, regulate Th1/Th2 cytokine balance, improve live birth rate and clinical efficacy, and is safe and reliable.
