Objective To assess the relationship betw ee n the ultrasonographic manifestation and the pathological histology type in pros tatic cancer. Methods 50 cases of CaP and 50 cases of BP H were included in this study.All the patients were ultrasonographic,and the dat a were compared with its the pathological histology type postoperatively. Results The typical ultrasonographic manifestation is hypoecho ic nodules (62%) in CaP group and mixed echo nodules (54%) in BPH group.There is a significant differences between CaP group and BPH group( P

Aim To explore the effect and mechanism of resveratrol (Res) on proliferation and differentiation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and treated with resveratrol in different dosages.Cell proliferation was analyzed by WST-1 method. Oil red O staining method and spectrophotography were applied to analyze the degree of differentiation. Real-time PCR was applied to detect the mRNA expression of adiponectin and leptin. Western blot was applied to detect the expression of silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1),peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCTTA enhancer binding proteinα (C/EBPα).Results Res inhibited proliferation of murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in a time-dose dependent manner.The expression levels of adiponectin and leptin mRNA were decreased, and Res also inhibited 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to differentiate into mature adipocytes. Res increased the expression levels of Sirt1 and decreased the expression levels of PPARγ and C/EBPα.Conclusions Resveratrol can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.The underlying mechanisms may include enhancing expression of Sirt1 and inhibiting expression of PPARγ,C/EBPα which are related to cell differentiation.

Abstract： Objective　To analyze the characteristics and corresponding drug resistance of pathogenic bacterial spectrum in eight major infection sites of hospitalized patients, and to provide epidemiological data for the rational selection of antibiotics in clinical practice. Methods　A total of 396 bacterial strains isolated from clinical specimens of hospitalized patients in member institutions of the Hainan Provincial Bacterial Resistance Monitoring Network from September 1, 2020, to September 30, 2022, were included in this study. Data were screened and filtered from the database of MH120 Microbial Identification and Drug Sensitivity Analysis System based on the technical scheme of the National Bacterial Drug Resistance Surveillance Network and Science and Technology Basic Resources Investigation Project research plan in 2020. The testing data were integrated, summarized, and analyzed using EXCEL and WHONET 5.6 software, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. Results　Among of 396 strains of bacteria, 78 (19.7%) were isolated from respiratory tract specimens, 74 (18.7%) from urinary tract specimens, 72 (18.2%) from blood specimens, 54 (13.6%) from abdominal cavity specimens, 48 (12.1%) from skin and soft tissue specimens 48 strains (12.1%), 30 (7.6%) from reproductive tract specimens, 22 (5.6%) from central nervous system specimens, 18 (4.5%) from digestive tract specimens. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 69.4% of the isolates, while gram-positive bacteria accounted for 30.6%. The top five gram-negative bacteria isolated were Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.9%), Escherichia coli (14.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.4%), Acinetobacter baumannii (5.3%), and Salmonella species (4.5%). The top five gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (11.1%), Streptococcus agalactis (7.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (3.0%), Enterococcus faecium (2.8%), and Streptococcus suis (1.8%). Respiratory failure and bloodstream infection were independent influencing factors of treatment response (P<0.01). The resistance rate of Escherichia coli to ampicillin was 81.4%, and the resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to gentamicin and levofloxacin were both below 7%. Conclusions　The pathogen spectra vary with different infection sites of patients, and rational selection of antibiotics based on drug susceptibility testing is crucial to shorten the treatment time of patients and avoid the unnecessary emergence of drug-resistant strains caused by drug abuse.

Objective:To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) before and after microwave ablation of thyroid nodules.Methods:Fifty-six patients (79 thyroid nodules) who received microwave ablation of thyroid nodules in Huaian Medical District, General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from March 2016 to October 2019 were included in this study. CEUS was performed before microwave ablation to accurately assess the size, number and blood supply of thyroid nodules as well as the position of the feeding vessels. CEUS was performed immediately after microwave ablation to determine whether the lesion area was thoroughly ablated and to measure the volume of thyroid nodules. At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, the level of thyroid hormone was measured and the absorption of thyroid nodules was evaluated.Results:Preoperative CEUS showed that among the 79 thyroid nodules, 42 were solid nodules that had different degrees of enhancement, including 33 annular homogeneously highly enhanced nodules and 9 heterogeneously highly enhanced nodules; 24 were cystic mixed solid nodules that had solid components, including 16 homogeneously highly enhanced nodules and 8 nodules with only local high enhancement in the solid component; 13 were cystic nodules, including 9 nodules with septa and 3 nodules with contrast medium on the diaphragm. Contrast medium was still visible around three nodules immediately after microwave ablation. Ablation continued in three nodules until there was no contrast medium. The incidence of complications during and after treatment was 0%. The average volume of the thyroid nodules before treatment was (7.52 ± 6.74) cm3. At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, the average volume of the thyroid nodules was (6.06 ± 5.19) cm3, (3.06 ± 2.85) cm3, (1.32 ± 1.23) cm3 and (0.59 ± 0.52) cm 3, respectively. There was significant difference in volume of thyroid nodules between before and after microwave ablation ( F = 96.32, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Preoperative CEUS can determine the distribution of the blood supply of thyroid nodules and the course of the feeding vessels, identify the needle-entering position for microwave ablation and the primary ablation area, improve the accuracy of treatment, and reduce the occurrence of complications such as bleeding. Postoperative CEUS can determine whether lesion area is thoroughly ablated, reduce residual lesions and excessive ablation.
