Objective To study the CT manifestations of delayed traumatic hematomas of the brain and evaluate their diagnostic significance in predicting the delayed traumatic brain hematoma. Methods The manifestations of initial CT studies and follow-up CT examinations of 31 delayed traumatic brain hematomas were analyzed. Another 50 CT studies of head trauma without delayed brain hematomas were included randomly as control. Results The abnormal findings of CT studies of the 31 delayed traumatic brain hematomas included: (1)Decreased density of the local brain parenchyma and disappeared difference between gray and white matter of the same area in 18 cases; (2)Local subarachnoid space hemorrhage in 24 cases; (3)Slight mass effect of local brain parenchyma in 16 cases. (4)Subdural hematoma in 9 cases. The locations of the abnormalities were roughly the same with the delayed hematoma except one local subarachnoid space hemorrhage, which was in the opposite of the delayed hematoma. The appearing rate of those abnormal findings in the control group was low and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The decrease of density of local brain parenchyma, the disappeared difference between the gray and white matter, local subarachnoid space hemorrhage, and local swollen of brain presented in the initial CT study of the patient with head trauma should be taken as indicators of delayed hemorrhage of the same area of brain, and it is necessary to do follow-up CT studies to exclude it.

Objective To investigate the injury of the brain, lung and liver of the pups after maternal infection of human eytomegalovirus (HCMV) 3 days before pregnancy. Methods Thirty kunming mice aged 10-12 weeks were mated and divided into infection group and control group. The female mice in the infection group were given intraperitonealty 1×106 50% tissue culture infective dose of HCMV suspension 0. 5 ml 3 days before pregnancy, while those in the control group were given intraperitoncally supernatant of human fibroblasts. At 19 days of gestation, cesarean sections were performed. Pathology and HCMV DNA of the brain, lung and liver tissue of the fetus were tested through microscope and PCR. Kai-square test was used to compared the positive rates of HCMV DNA and viral isolation between these two groups. Results The positive rates of HCMV viral isolation and DNA in the fetal mice of infection group were as follow: brain (73.3% and 93.3%), liver (53.3% and 93.3%)and lung (60. 0% and 86.7%), while HCMV DNA and viral isolation was not detected in the control group (P<0.05). Under microscope, viromicrosome and tissue injury including necrosis, degeneration and bleeding were found in the tissues of brain, lung and liver in the infection group. Conclusions Maternal mice HCMV infection before pregnancy might vertically transmitted to the fetus and cause multi-organ injury.

The establishment of an economic operating mechanisms for hospitals is a key factor in advancing the growth of public hospitals in the modern age.At present,the due value of key factors such as medical resources and labor value of medical personnel in public hospitals in China has not been fully reflected,which not only restricts the overall operation efficiency of hospitals,but also makes it difficult to realize the marginal value of hospital operation and management.The economic operating mechanisms of public hospitals is in urgent need of reform.Large public hospitals in Henan Province has established an economic operating mechanisms of public hospitals based on intelli-gent finance,comprehensive budget management as the core,and cost control and performance management as the major tools to realize the interconnection of various systems and promote the high-quality development of hospi-tals with the three major supports of industry and finance integration,financial integration and financial integration.

Since the first operational definition of cognitive frailty was proposed by the expert consensus group of the International Academy of Nutrition and Aging and the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics in 2013, frailty and neurocognitive assessment has become the standard diagnostic tool.Since then, the reported prevalence in the literature for cognitive frailty in community-dwelling elderly people vary by dozens of times, as a result of different scales and diagnostic cut-off points, seriously affecting health decision-making.This article reviewed the current literature with a focus on the re-recognition of the clinical significance of cognitive frailty, the limitations of existing assessment tools for diagnosis, and possible solutions in the future.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of different antiviral and antifibrotic regimens in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatic fibrosis and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with these therapies. METHODS: A total of 840 patients with CHB and concurrent hepatic fibrosis, who received antiviral therapy in Nanfang Hospital between June, 2010 and June, 2018, were enrolled in this follow-up cohort study. The patients were assigned to 3 cohorts matched for gender, age (difference≤5 years), HBeAg status and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for treatment with one of the 3 antiviral drugs, namely entecavir, tenofovir dipivoxil and adefovir dipivoxil; each cohort was divided into 2 groups, with one of the groups having a combined treatment with Fufang Biejiaruangan tablet. The cumulative negative conversion rate of HBV DNA, normalization rate of ALT, hepatic fibrosis regression and the incidence of HCC were compared among the 3 cohorts and across the 6 groups at 144 weeks. RESULTS: A total of 749 patients were available to follow-up at 144 weeks. Compared with the baseline data, the cumulative negative conversion rate of HBV DNA increased gradually and the abnormal rate of ALT decreased significantly over time during the treatment in all the 6 groups (all < 0.001). Compared with the any of the antiviral drugs used alone, the combined treatments all resulted in significantly better antifibrotic effects (χ=11.345, χ=10.160, χ=6.358; all < 0.05). At 144 weeks, the incidence of HCC were 2.2%, 1.7%, 1.7% and 3.3% in enecavir group, enecavir with Biejiaruangan tablet group, adefovir group, and adefovir with Biejiaruangan tablet group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two cohorts (4 groups; χ=6.813, =0.138). None of the patients in the 2 groups with tenofovir treatment had HCC by the end of the observation. CONCLUSIONS Antiviral therapy combined with antifibrotic therapy can effectively reverse hepatic fibrosis and reduce the incidence of HCC in patients with CHB; among the 3 antiviral drugs, tenofovir dipivoxil can be a better option for reducing the incidence of HCC in these patients.

OBJECTIVE：To explore the metabolic charact eristics of Miao medicine Laportea bulbifera extract in isolated human intestinal flora. METHODS ：L. bulbifera was extracted with 70％ ethanol reflux extraction. After concentration，extraction with n-butanol and drying ，L. bulbifera extract was obtained. Taking 0.05 g/mL L. bulbifera extract 1 mL mixed with isolated human intestinal flora fluid 10 mL and cultured for 36 h in anaerobic environment （setting up blank control without drugs or human intestinal bacterial solution ），so as to simulate the metabolic process of the extract in human intestine. The metabolites were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. The determination was performed on Agilent Eclipse Plus C 18 RRHD column with mobile phase consisted of 0.01％ formic acid water solution- 0.01％ formic acid acetonitrile solution （gradient eluetion ）at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃，and the sample size was 1 µL. ESI detection was adopted and scanned by negative ion mode （ESI－）；the capillary voltage was 4.5 kV，the ion source temperature was 120 ℃，the collision energy was 15-32 V，and the scanning range was m/z 50-1 000. The “Strip”module of MassLynx V 4.1 software was used to analyze the differential chromatograms between the reaction solution and the blank control of L. bulbifera extract. Mass spectrum data and UNIFI so ftware were used to predict relative molecular weight and formula ；based on the information of substance control and related literature reports ， the structure and biotransformation pathway of L. bulbifera metabolites in isolated human intestinal flora were predicted and analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ： A total of 3 prototype ： products（rutin，quercetin，kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside）and 22metabolites （mainly the metabolites of quercetin ，mono- caffeoylquinic acid ，isoquercitrin，etc.） were detected after metabolized in isolated human intestinal flora. Itsbiotransformation pathway is phase Ⅰ reaction，which mainly consisted of reduction ，oxidation and hydrolysis.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence and risk factors of benign liver space-occupying mass in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and the ultrasound features that differentiate these masses from small hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the color Doppler and clinical data of 17 721 patients with CHB treated in the Hepatology Unit of Nanfang Hospital between January, 2016 and December, 2017. The data were compared with those of 21629 healthy control subjects undergoing routine physical examination in the Center of Heath Management of Nanfang Hospital during the same period. RESULTS: Compared with the control subjects, the patients with CHB had significantly higher incidences of hepatic cysts (11.8% 8.7%, < 0.05), hepatic hemangioma (8.2% 1.6%, < 0.05) and hepatic cirrhosis nodules (20.6% 2.4%, < 0.05). The incidences of hepatic cysts and cirrhosis nodules increased with age and was significantly higher in male than in female patients ( < 0.001). The highest incidence of hepatic hemangioma was found in CHB patients aged 30-49 years without a gender difference (>0.05). Sonographically, the benign liver masses commonly showed homogeneous echo within the lesion with clear boundaries and regular shape. Hepatic hemangioma was distinctively hyperechoic in 83.32% (1579/1895) of the patients, while small hepatocellular carcinoma presented with weaker peripheral and internal blood flow signals with a lower flow velocity in the arteries and a higher flow velocity in the portal vein. Liver cirrhosis nodules mostly showed a mixture of strong and weak echoes (79.60%; 7637/9595) without blood flow signal within or around the nodule; an increased volume of the nodule accompanied by heterogeneous echoes within the nodule indicated an increased probability of malignant lesion. Hepatic cysts often displayed no echo within the lesion, but the echo could be enhanced posteriorly. CONCLUSIONS The patients with CHB are at a significantly higher risk of developing hepatic cysts, hepatic hemangiomas and hepatic cirrhosis nodules than the control population, and an older age and the male gender are associated with a higher incidence of hepatic cysts or cirrhosis. The differences in the sonographic and hemodynamic features can help to differentiate hepatic benign mass from malignant lesions, and kinetic changes in sonography can be used to monitor potential malignant transformation of the cirrhotic lesions.
